[0003] Conventional hard drive PCBs are relatively fragile and easily break or break when subjected to external forces, which directly affects the storage of the hard drive and the safety of subsequent operations.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the structural strength of the hard disk carrier board has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application discloses a hard disk carrier board and a testing device, with the aim of improving the structural strength of the hard disk carrier board.

[0006] This application discloses a hard disk carrier board, which includes a substrate.

The top of the groove and the side of the groove away from the hard disk both have openings. The protrusion is located at the bottom of the groove. The height of the protrusion is less than the height of the retaining wall, and the length of the protrusion is less than the length of the bottom of the groove, so as to form the stepped layer in the groove relative to the edge of the substrate.

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a hard disk carrier board 100. The hard disk carrier board 100 includes a substrate 110. Multiple baffles 120 are provided on the substrate 110. The multiple baffles 120 are arranged longitudinally and transversely on the substrate 110 to form multiple grid grooves 150. Each grid groove 150 is used to place a hard disk. Multiple stepped structures 130 are provided at intervals on the baffles 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110. The multiple stepped structures 130 are arranged along the extension direction of the baffles 120. The stepped structures 130 are used to form at least two stepped layers 140 at the edge of the substrate 110.

[0030] This application improves upon the traditional hard disk carrier board 100 by incorporating multiple baffles 120 on the substrate 110. Firstly, the grid grooves 150 formed by the longitudinal and transverse arrangement of the baffles 120 allow the substrate 110 to simultaneously support multiple hard disks. Secondly, the multiple baffles 120 form a grid-like support structure on the substrate 110, increasing the overall rigidity of the substrate 110 to a certain extent. The grid-like baffle structure provides multiple force transmission paths, dispersing external forces on the substrate 110 to a wider area and avoiding localized stress. The risk of breakage due to stress concentration is reduced. Meanwhile, by providing multiple stepped structures 130 at intervals on the baffle 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110, and arranging the multiple stepped structures 130 along the extension direction of the baffle 120, at least two stepped layers 140 are formed at the edge of the substrate 110 using the stepped structures 130. During handling or stacking, the stepped layers 140 can buffer and release the force when the substrate 110 is subjected to collision or compression, avoid stress concentration at the edge of the substrate 110, reduce the risk of breakage or damage, and thus improve the overall structural strength of the hard disk carrier board 100.

[0031] Specifically, the stepped structure 130 includes a groove 131 and a protrusion 132. The groove 131 is opened on the side of the retaining wall 120 away from the hard disk. The top of the groove 131 and the side of the groove 131 away from the hard disk both have openings 133. The protrusion 132 is disposed at the bottom of the groove 131. The height of the protrusion 132 is less than the height of the retaining wall 120, and the length of the protrusion 132 is less than the length of the bottom of the groove 131, so as to form a stepped layer 140 in the groove 131 relative to the edge of the substrate 110.

[0032] In this embodiment, openings 133 are provided at the top of the groove 131 and on the side of the groove 131 away from the hard disk, so that the groove 131 can effectively release the force on the edge of the substrate 110. The protrusion 132, as a local reinforcement structure at the bottom of the groove 131, can directly bear the vertical force and transfer the stress to the edge of the substrate 110 or adjacent areas, reducing the risk of breakage of the retaining wall 120 due to local stress.

[0033] Furthermore, since multiple stepped structures 130 are arranged along the extension direction of the retaining wall 120, the protrusions 132 of each stepped structure 130 will form a stepped layer 140 in the groove 131. The stepped layer 140 has multiple support surfaces. When an external force is applied, the protrusions 132 will convert the external force into a more uniform distribution, avoiding stress concentration at a single weak point, thereby improving the compressive and impact resistance of the substrate 110.

[0034] In addition, the opening 133 of the slot 131 can also serve as a guide structure during assembly. For example, when multiple hard disk carrier boards 100 are stacked, they can be aligned through the slots of the slot 131 on each hard disk carrier board 100, so that multiple hard disk carrier boards 100 can be stacked quickly and structural damage caused by improper installation can be reduced.

[0035] After the hard drive is placed into the grid slot 150, the entire hard drive will be embedded in the grid slot 150. In order to facilitate the operation of the operator to easily remove the hard drive, this application also improves the structure of the retaining wall 120, and the specific improvements are as follows:

[0036] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a second embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, the retaining wall 120 surrounding the grid groove 150 includes a first retaining wall 121 and a second retaining wall 123. The first retaining wall 121 and the second retaining wall 123 are arranged opposite to each other. The first retaining wall 121 is provided with a first opening 122, and the second retaining wall 123 is provided with a second opening 124. The positions of the first opening 122 and the second opening 124 are corresponding.

[0037] In this embodiment, by opening a first opening 122 and a second opening 124 on the first and second opposing walls 121 and 123 surrounding the barrier wall 120 forming the grid groove 150, the two sides of the hard drive installed in the grid groove 150 are exposed by the first opening 122 and the second opening 124.

[0038] When the operator needs to retrieve the hard drive, they can do so from both sides of the hard drive through the first opening 122 and the second opening 124. This makes it less likely to be obstructed by the barrier 120, thus facilitating the operator's retrieval of the hard drive and improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0039] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the third embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The embodiments are based on Figure 2 As an improvement, the substrate 110 has a groove 129 at the bottom corresponding to the first opening 122 and the second opening 124.

[0040] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that in this embodiment, a groove 129 is also provided at the bottom of the substrate 110 corresponding to the first opening 122 and the second opening 124. The groove 129 is used to make the bottom of the substrate 110 corresponding to the first opening 122 and the second opening 124 sink relative to the bottom surface of the grid groove 150.

[0041] When the hard drive is placed in the grid slot 150, the bottom surface of the hard drive is in contact with the bottom surface of the grid slot 150. At this time, because the edge of the hard drive is recessed through the groove 129 of the substrate 110, the operator can more easily lift the hard drive from the side of the grid slot 150 from the bottom up, thereby separating the hard drive from the bottom surface of the grid slot 150. This makes it easier for the operator to pick up the hard drive from the grid slot 150, thus effectively improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0042] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the fourth embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the retaining wall 120 surrounding the grid groove 150 also includes a third retaining wall 125 and a fourth retaining wall 128, which are respectively connected between the first retaining wall 121 and the second retaining wall 123. The third retaining wall 125 and the fourth retaining wall 128 are arranged opposite to each other, and at least one of the third retaining wall 125 and the fourth retaining wall 128 includes a base 126 and a blocking portion 127, which is disposed on the base 126 and extends bent along the length direction of the retaining wall 120.

[0043] In this embodiment, in the third barrier wall 125 and the fourth barrier wall 128, at least one barrier wall 120 has a blocking portion 127 that extends in a curved manner along the length of the barrier wall 120. The shape formed by the bending of the blocking portion 127 can be wavy, sawtooth, or other arc-shaped. The curved shape of the blocking portion 127 can distribute the applied external force more evenly. When subjected to impact, the bent blocking portion 127 can reduce the rigid impact directly transmitted to the substrate 110, thereby improving the impact resistance.

[0044] In addition, the curved and extended blocking portion 127 has a certain degree of flexibility relative to other blocking walls 120, which can effectively absorb vibrations from the outside (such as vibrations during transportation or equipment operation) and reduce the impact of vibrations on hard drive storage or testing.

[0045] The curved blocking part 127 can also serve as a guide structure to guide the hard drive to slide accurately into the grid groove 150 during installation, preventing the hard drive from getting stuck or damaged due to misalignment.

[0046] In practical applications, the bending radius of the blocking part 127 or the spacing between two adjacent blocking parts 127 can be adjusted to adapt to hard drives of different thicknesses or sizes, thereby enhancing the versatility of the hard drive carrier board 100.

[0047] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the fifth embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, in the first barrier 121, the second barrier 123, the third barrier 125 and the fourth barrier 128, at least one barrier 120 is provided with a positioning post 160 on the side near the hard disk, and the positioning post 160 is used to connect with the slot on the hard disk.

[0048] In this embodiment, by setting a positioning post 160 on the side of at least one of the four retaining walls 120 surrounding the grid groove 150 that are close to the hard drive, when the hard drive needs to be placed in the grid groove 150, the slot of the hard drive can be locked onto the positioning post 160. On the one hand, this can achieve quick positioning of the hard drive in the grid groove 150, and on the other hand, the hard drive installed in the grid groove 150 is limited by the positioning post 160, so that the hard drive is not easy to shake or vibrate significantly in the grid groove 150, which helps to protect the hard drive from damage and thus extend the service life of the hard drive.

[0049] Furthermore, the rapid positioning of multiple hard drives using multiple positioning posts 160 allows for convenient simultaneous gripping of multiple hard drives by the robotic arm during subsequent testing, thus improving testing efficiency.

[0050] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the sixth embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the substrate 110 includes a first side 113 and a second side 114 disposed opposite to each other. Multiple stepped structures 130 are provided on the retaining walls 120 near the first side 113 and the second side 114, and the positions of the multiple stepped structures 130 near the first side 113 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple stepped structures 130 near the second side 114.

[0051] In this embodiment, multiple stepped structures 130 are symmetrically arranged on the first side 113 and the second side 114 to form a double-sided symmetrical support on the substrate 110. When the substrate 110 is subjected to bending or torsional forces, the stepped structures 130 on both sides of the substrate 110 can synchronously disperse the stress, avoiding deformation or breakage on one side due to overload. For example, if an external force is applied to the center of the substrate 110, the symmetrical structure can uniformly transmit the force to the edge of the substrate 110 through the synergistic effect of the stepped structures 130 at both ends, thereby improving the bending and torsional resistance.

[0052] In addition, the symmetrical arrangement of multiple stepped structures 130 on opposite sides of the substrate 110 can effectively suppress asymmetrical deformation and warping of the substrate 110 caused by local stress.

[0053] The symmetrical position of the stepped structure 130 provides a unified positioning reference for multiple hard disk carrier boards 100 when stacked and installed; operators do not need to frequently adjust the positions on both sides, but can directly use the corresponding stepped structure 130 as a reference, reducing the risk of human error.

[0054] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the seventh embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the width of the barrier 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110 is greater than the width of the barrier 120 located at other positions on the substrate 110.

[0055] The difference between this embodiment and the previous embodiment is that this embodiment increases the width of the baffle 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110, so that the width of the baffle 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110 is greater than the width of the baffle 120 located at other positions on the substrate 110. This can effectively improve the structural strength of the edge of the substrate 110.

[0056] When the substrate 110 is being transported or stacked, the edge of the substrate 110 is subjected to an impact from an external force. The retaining wall 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110 can effectively release and buffer the force, so that the stress is not easily concentrated at the edge of the substrate 110. This can effectively protect the substrate 110 from damage or breakage and extend the service life of the substrate 110.

[0057] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the eighth embodiment of the hard disk carrier board of this application, as shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the substrate 110 includes a first corner 111 and a second corner 112, which are disposed on the same side. A recessed portion 115 is provided on the substrate 110 at the position corresponding to the first corner 111 and the second corner 112. The thickness of the recessed portion 115 is less than the height of the retaining wall 120.

[0058] In this embodiment, recessed portions 115 are provided on the first corner 111 and the second corner 112 on the same side of the substrate 110. The recessed portions 115 create a significant height difference between the positions of the first corner 111 and the second corner 112 and other positions of the substrate 110. The recessed portions 115 serve as a kind of "foolproof" design, allowing operators to quickly identify the installation or placement direction and position of the hard disk carrier 100 when placing or stacking it based on the recessed portions 115 on the substrate 110 corresponding to the first corner 111 and the second corner 112. This facilitates the correct installation of the hard disk carrier 100 and enables the rapid stacking of multiple hard disk carriers 100.

[0059] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of one embodiment of the testing equipment of this application. This application also discloses a testing device 10, including a feeding platform 200. The testing device 10 includes the aforementioned hard disk carrier plate 100, which is mounted on the feeding platform 200. The feeding platform 200 can be a loading platform or a unloading platform. When the feeding platform 200 is a loading platform, the hard disk carrier plate 100 carries multiple hard disks to be tested and is mounted on the loading platform. The loading platform transports the hard disk carrier plate 100 to the testing platform, facilitating testing of the multiple hard disks. When the feeding platform 200 is an unloading platform, the hard disk carrier plate 100 carries multiple hard disks that have already been tested and is mounted on the unloading platform, facilitating the recycling of the tested hard disks via the hard disk carrier plate 100.

[0060] In traditional testing equipment 10, the hard disk carrier board 100 is relatively fragile and is prone to breakage or damage when subjected to external forces, which directly affects the safety of subsequent operation of the testing equipment 10.

[0061] Based on the above problems, this application improves the hard disk carrier board 100 in the test equipment 10. By setting multiple baffles 120 on the substrate 110, on the one hand, the grid grooves 150 formed by the longitudinal and transverse arrangement of the multiple baffles 120 can enable the substrate 110 to support multiple hard disks at the same time. On the other hand, the multiple baffles 120 can increase the structural strength of the substrate 110. At the same time, by setting multiple stepped structures 130 at intervals on the baffles 120 located at the edge of the substrate 110, and the multiple stepped structures 130 are arranged along the extension direction of the baffles 120, at least two stepped layers 140 are formed at the edge of the substrate 110 by the stepped structures 130. During the handling or stacking process, the stepped layers 140 can play a role in buffering and releasing the force when the substrate 110 is subjected to collision or compression, avoiding stress concentration at the edge of the substrate 110, reducing the risk of breakage or damage, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the hard disk carrier board 100 and further improving the test stability of the test equipment 10.

[0062] It should be noted that the inventive concept of this application can form many embodiments, but due to the limited space of the application documents, they cannot all be listed. Therefore, without conflict, the embodiments described above or the technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. After the embodiments or technical features are combined, the original technical effect will be enhanced.

[0063] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
