Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of screen accessory bracket technology, and specifically relates to an integrated HDD and ODD bracket. Background Technology

[0002] Because different consumer regions and individuals have different configuration requirements for all-in-one computer functions, some regions and individuals need ODD (Optical Disk Drive) but not HDD (Hard Disk Drive), or they need HDD but not ODD, or they need both functions or neither; the current design approach is to design a fixed bracket for HDD and a fixed bracket for ODD (as shown below). Figure 1 As shown, the overall design and installation requires two structural positions to match these two brackets. If the overall structural space is insufficient, one of the functions must be abandoned. The HDD and ODD are designed to be placed separately. However, in the limited structural space of the whole machine, this structural method is not aesthetically pleasing due to the asymmetrical openings of the ODD. This structural method requires two types of brackets, which will increase the cost.

[0003] In view of the above, this application is hereby submitted. Utility Model Content

The second plate body 52 is detachably connected to the side wall of the HDD body 2. Specifically, the second plate body 52 is provided with a first through hole 6. The two side walls of the HDD body 2 are each provided with two first fastening holes. The four first through holes 6 correspond to the four first fastening holes respectively. The HDD body 2 is fixed by a connector passing through the first through hole 6 and locking into the first fastening hole. The connector is a screw.

[0027] Preferably, a clearance notch 61 extending through to the surface of the second plate 52 is formed above the first through hole 6. A rubber sleeve 7 is provided at the first through hole 6, and an annular groove is formed in the middle of the rubber sleeve 7. The annular groove is adapted to the first through hole 6 (with the same thickness). The annular groove is locked in the first through hole 6. One end of the rubber sleeve 7 abuts against the side wall of the HDD body 2. The HDD body 2 is fixed by a connector passing through the first through hole 6 and the inner ring of the rubber sleeve 7 and locking into the first fastening hole. The connector is a screw. The rubber sleeve 7 can fill the gap between the connecting side plate 45 and the side wall of the HDD body 2, making the HDD body 2 more securely installed.

[0028] The detachable connection between components in the two embodiments of this solution is not limited to the connection structure described above; other existing connection structures can also be used, such as snap-fit ​​connections, magnetic connections, etc.

[0029] In this solution, two embodiments are used. Due to the limited width of the whole machine, a gantry bracket 4 is used to fasten the ODD body 3. Then, the HDD body 2 is stacked and connected to the outer surface of the gantry bracket 4, so that any screen body 1 can be compatible with both the ODD body 3 and the HDD body 2, without having to choose one due to screen size issues.

[0030] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions that fall within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected by this utility model.
