Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard drive expansion bracket technology, and in particular to a stackable and expandable hard drive expansion bracket. Background Technology
[0002] As data storage demands increase, users often need to install multiple hard drives in a single host computer. Hard drive expansion brackets are typically used to install and secure multiple hard drives.
[0003] As disclosed in CN221960492U, this utility model relates to the field of hard drive expansion bracket technology, and more particularly to a stackable hard drive expansion bracket. It includes a bracket with side frames at both ends and a rear frame at the rear end. The side frames are equipped with a fixing mechanism for assembling the stacked brackets. The fixing mechanism includes a connecting component, comprising levers pivotally connected to both sides of the rear surface of the side frames. A shaft is slidably mounted through the other end of each lever, and a positioning head is rotatably mounted at the front end of the shaft. This solves the problem in the previous solution where the stacked expansion brackets were fixed using a snap-fit connector. While this connector structure facilitates fixing the stacked expansion brackets, disassembly requires tools such as screwdrivers or pry bars, and forceful disassembly can easily damage the connector, rendering it unusable. However, because this hard drive expansion bracket only uses positioning strips and positioning plates to position the hard drive, its stability is poor, and it is difficult to adapt to hard drives of different sizes, limiting its application range.
[0004] Therefore, a stackable hard drive expansion bracket has now been developed that can stably install hard drives and accommodate hard drives of different sizes. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing hard drive expansion brackets, which rely solely on positioning bars and plates to position the hard drive, resulting in poor stability, difficulty in adapting to hard drives of different sizes, and limited application range, this utility model provides a stackable hard drive expansion bracket that can stably install hard drives and accommodate hard drives of different sizes.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: a stackable and expandable hard drive expansion bracket, including a support frame, a cover plate, a second spring, a stacking component, and a limiting component. The support frame has multiple heat dissipation holes, and the cover plate is slidably connected to the upper side of the support frame. The cover plate also has multiple heat dissipation holes on both its upper and lower parts. Multiple second springs are connected between the cover plate and the support frame. A stacking component that can be stacked is provided between the support frame and the cover plate. A limiting component that can limit the movement of the hard drive is provided on the support frame.
[0007] As a further preferred option, a wiring port is provided on the rear side of the support frame.
[0008] As a further preferred option, it also includes a partition, with a partition connected in the middle of the cover plate.
[0009] As a further preferred option, the stacked components include support feet and locking blocks, with multiple support feet connected to the lower side of the support frame and locking blocks connected to the upper sides of both the left and right sides of the cover plate.
[0010] As a further preferred embodiment, the limiting component includes a pressure block, a rotating block, and a first spring. Rotating blocks are slidably connected to the front sides of both the left and right sides of the support frame. Each rotating block is connected to the support frame by a first spring, and each rotating block is rotatably connected to a pressure block through damping.
[0011] As a further preferred embodiment, it also includes pull blocks, with pull blocks connected to the front side of each pressure block.
[0012] This utility model has the following advantages: The second spring makes the cover plate fit tightly against the upper side of the hard drive to accommodate hard drives of different heights. At the same time, it limits the upper and lower positions of the hard drive. Then, the pressure block is rotated to a horizontal state, and then the first spring rebounds, causing the rotating block to move backward and reset to contact the front of the hard drive to accommodate hard drives of different lengths. At the same time, it limits the front and rear positions of the hard drive, thus achieving the effect of stable installation of the hard drive and adapting to hard drives of different sizes.

[0018] The technical solution will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that the terms "up," "down," "left," and "right" used in this document refer only to the position of the structure shown in the corresponding drawings. The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are only used to distinguish the described objects and have no sequential or technical meaning. Unless otherwise specified, terms such as "connection" and "linkage" in this application include both direct and indirect connections (linkages).
[0019] A stackable and expandable hard drive expansion bracket, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a support frame 2, a cover plate 8, a partition plate 9, a second spring 10, a stacking assembly, and a limiting assembly. The support frame 2 has twelve heat dissipation holes 3. The cover plate 8 is slidably connected to the upper side of the support frame 2. The cover plate 8 also has twelve heat dissipation holes 3 on both the upper and lower parts. The partition plate 9 is connected to the middle of the cover plate 8. Four second springs 10 are connected between the cover plate 8 and the support frame 2. The support frame 2 has a wiring port 12 on the rear side. A stacking assembly is provided between the support frame 2 and the cover plate 8. A limiting assembly is provided on the support frame 2.
[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the stacking assembly includes support feet 1 and locking blocks 11. Four support feet 1 are connected to the lower side of the support frame 2, and locking blocks 11 are connected to the upper sides of both the left and right sides of the cover plate 8.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the limiting assembly includes a pull block 4, a pressure block 5, a rotating block 6, and a first spring 7. The rotating blocks 6 are slidably connected to the front sides of both the left and right sides of the support frame 2. The first spring 7 is connected between each rotating block 6 and the support frame 2. The pressure block 5 is connected to each rotating block 6 by a damping rotation. The pull block 4 is connected to the front side of each pressure block 5.
[0022] When using this utility model, firstly, when it is necessary to stack the support frame 2, the support foot 1 on the upper support frame 2 is inserted into the locking block 11 on the lower cover plate 8 to achieve the stacking of the support frame 2, so as to adapt to the needs of different numbers of hard drives. Then, by pulling block 4, the pressure block 5 and rotating block 6 are moved forward, the first spring 7 is stretched, and then the pulling block 4 and pressure block 5 are rotated to a vertical position, so that the pressure block 5 is pressed against the front side of the support frame 2. Then the hard drive is placed in the support frame 2. The cover plate 8 is pressed tightly against the upper side of the hard drive by the force of the second spring 10 to accommodate hard drives of different heights and limit the upper and lower positions of the hard drive. Then, the pressure block 5 is rotated to a horizontal position, the first spring 7 rebounds, so that the pulling block 4, pressure block 5 and rotating block 6 move backward to reset, so that the pressure block 5 contacts the front side of the hard drive to accommodate hard drives of different lengths and limit the front and rear positions of the hard drive. This allows for stable installation of the hard drive and can accommodate hard drives of different sizes. The heat dissipation hole 3 is used to dissipate heat from the hard drive. When one of the hard drives has abnormal heat dissipation, the partition 9 can block the heat and prevent it from interfering with the heat dissipation of other hard drives. After installation, the connector is inserted into the hard drive through the connection port 12.
[0023] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
