Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data storage devices, specifically a data storage device. Background Technology

[0002] Data storage devices are used to save and store data. They play a crucial role in many fields such as computer systems, mobile devices, and servers. Below are some common data storage devices and their characteristics: Hard disk drives (hard disk drives use rotating disks and moving read / write heads to read and write data; data is stored magnetically on the surface of the disk, typically providing storage space from hundreds of GB to several TB), Solid-state drives (solid-state drives use flash memory chips to store data; they have no mechanical parts, and data reading and writing are completed through electronic signals, making them much faster than traditional hard disks and significantly improving system boot speed and data transfer speed), USB flash drives (commonly known as U-disk drives, which use flash memory chips to store data, connect to the computer via a USB interface, are small, portable, plug-and-play, require no driver installation, and are easy to use), and SD / TF cards (similar to USB flash drives, using flash memory chips to store data, but smaller in size, typically used in mobile devices). U-disk drives are widely used as portable storage devices.

[0003] However, because USB flash drives have limited protection during transport, they are easily damaged when dropped. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a data storage device that solves the problems mentioned in the background.

[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a data storage device, including a storage device body, the storage device body including: a flash drive and a protective housing, a lifting rod is installed at the center of the lower surface of the flash drive, a limit stop is installed at the lower end of the lifting rod, a storage sleeve is installed inside the protective housing outside the lifting rod, a longitudinal reset spring is installed inside the storage sleeve, an anti-detachment pad is installed on the upper inner wall of the storage sleeve, a first limiting protective cover is provided at one end of the inner side of the protective housing, a second limiting protective cover is provided at the other end of the inner side of the protective housing, and a transverse compression spring is installed between the first limiting protective cover and the second limiting protective cover and the protective housing.

[0006] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the first limiting protective cover and the second limiting protective cover have limiting grooves on their side walls, and the inner side wall of the protective housing is fitted with a limiting slider corresponding to the position of the limiting groove.

[0007] As a further improvement of this invention: one end of the flash drive is equipped with a Type-C interface socket, and the other end of the flash drive is equipped with a USB interface socket.

[0008] As a further improvement of this utility model: L-shaped limiting plates are provided on the upper surfaces of both ends of the protective shell, and an elastic rotating shaft is installed between the L-shaped limiting plates and the protective shell.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the outer diameter of the limiting baffle is greater than the inner diameter of the anti-detachment pad, the limiting baffle is fixedly connected to the lifting rod, and the anti-detachment pad is fixedly connected to the storage sleeve.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the first limiting protective cover and the second limiting protective cover are fixedly connected to the protective shell by the transverse compression spring.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the first limiting protective cover and the second limiting protective cover are slidably connected to the limiting slider through the limiting groove.

[0012] As a further improvement of this utility model, the Type-C interface socket and the USB interface socket are integrally fixed with the flash drive.

[0013] As a further improvement of this utility model: the L-shaped limiting plate is movably connected to the protective shell through the elastic rotating shaft.

[0014] As a further improvement of this utility model, a bolt handle is installed on one side of the main body of the storage device.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. The first and second limit protective covers will be reset by the limit sliding groove under the guidance of the limit slider, so that the groove on the second limit protective cover will cover the outside of the Type-C interface socket, while the groove on the first limit protective cover will cover the outside of the USB interface socket. Therefore, the flash drive will be housed inside the protective housing, which will provide good protection.

[0016] 2. The outer diameter of the limiting baffle at the lower end of the lifting rod is larger than the inner diameter of the anti-detachment pad ring. This design prevents the flash drive from detaching from the protective housing during use. The flash drive as a whole can rotate in different directions inside the storage sleeve using the lifting rod and the limiting baffle, making it easy to use and store.

[0017] 3. By rotating the L-shaped limiting plates at both ends of the upper part of the protective housing using the action of the elastic pivot, the L-shaped limiting plates are fixed at the edge of the grooves opened inside the first and second limiting protective covers. After adjusting the flash drive and the protective housing axis to coincide, under the pulling action of the longitudinal reset spring, the Type-C interface socket and the USB interface socket can be quickly aligned with the positions of the second and first limiting protective covers.

[0018] 4. After the flash drive is completely stored inside the protective housing, it will be horizontally limited by the limiting protective covers at both ends. At the same time, the vertical lifting rod and the limiting baffle will be limited by the storage sleeve. This can prevent accidental pop-out during daily use and carrying, and prevent impurities from entering the socket. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a data storage device, including a storage device body 1. The storage device body 1 includes a flash memory drive 2 and a protective housing 3. A lifting rod 203 is installed at the center of the lower surface of the flash memory drive 2. A limiting plate 204 is installed at the lower end of the lifting rod 203 and is fixedly connected to the lifting rod 203. A receiving sleeve 304 is installed inside the protective housing 3 outside the lifting rod 203. A longitudinal return spring 307 is installed inside the receiving sleeve 304. An anti-detachment pad 308 is installed on the inner side wall of the upper end of the receiving sleeve 304. The outer diameter of the limiting plate 204 is greater than that of the anti-detachment pad 308. The inner diameter of the device is 8. The anti-detachment pad ring 308 is fixedly connected to the storage sleeve 304. A first limiting protective cover plate 301 is provided on one side of the inner side of the protective housing 3, and a second limiting protective cover plate 302 is provided on the other side of the inner side of the protective housing 3. A transverse compression spring 305 is installed between the first limiting protective cover plate 301 and the second limiting protective cover plate 302 and the protective housing 3. The first limiting protective cover plate 301 and the second limiting protective cover plate 302 are fixedly connected to the protective housing 3 through the transverse compression spring 305. A bolt handle 4 is installed on one side of the storage device body 1. The bolt handle 4 is used to connect a hanging rope or a hanging ring for daily carrying.

[0023] like Figure 2-3As shown, in this embodiment, both the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 have limiting grooves 310 on their side walls. A limiting slider 303 is installed on the inner side wall of the protective housing 3 at the position corresponding to the limiting groove 310. Both the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 are slidably connected to the limiting slider 303 via the limiting grooves 310. A Type-C interface socket 201 is installed at one end of the flash drive 2, and a USB interface socket 20 is installed at the other end of the flash drive 2. 2. The first limiting protective cover 301 has a groove on the side near the flash drive 2 for the USB interface socket 202 to engage. The dimensions of the two grooves are designed according to the outer diameter of the Type-C interface socket 201 and the USB interface socket 202. When the flash drive 2 is fully housed inside the protective housing 3, the lower surface of the flash drive 2 is in contact with the upper surface of the housing sleeve 304. At this time, the lifting rod 203 is fully housed inside the housing sleeve 304, and the Type-C interface socket 201 and the USB interface socket 202 are positioned in the grooves corresponding to the middle of the second limiting protective cover 302 and the first limiting protective cover 301. The second limiting protective cover 302 has a groove on the side near the flash drive 2 for the Type-C interface socket 201 to engage. The Type-C interface socket 201 and the USB interface socket 202 are integrally fixed with the flash drive 2. L-shaped limiting plates 30 are provided on the upper surfaces of both sides of the protective housing 3. 6. An elastic pivot 309 is installed between the L-shaped limiting plate 306 and the protective housing 3. The L-shaped limiting plate 306 is movably connected to the protective housing 3 through the elastic pivot 309. When no force is applied, the upper surface of the L-shaped limiting plate 306 is parallel to the upper surface of the protective housing 3. Therefore, it can realize the hanging and limiting of the end position of the groove on the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 that are squeezed to the end, which can facilitate the subsequent storage of the flash drive 2.

[0024] refer to Figure 2In another embodiment, the L-shaped limiting plates 306 on the inner sides of both ends of the protective housing 3 can be provided as magnetic components. Flexible rubber or silicone materials are provided in the grooves on the inner sides of the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302. Magnetic material protrusions are provided on the side of the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 away from the grooves, corresponding to the positions of the magnets. Before the flash drive 2 needs to be completely retracted into the protective housing 3, the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 can be... The plate 302 is pushed towards both ends of the protective housing 3. By compressing and deforming the transverse compression spring 305, the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 are controlled to be attracted to the magnet. The attraction force of the magnet is greater than the elastic force of the transverse compression spring 305. After the flash drive 2 is reset, the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 are peeled off and attracted by the magnet. They can also be covered on the outside of the USB interface socket 202 and the Type-C interface socket 201 respectively to protect and limit the flash drive 2.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During production setup, the lifting rod 203 on the lower surface of the flash drive 2 is embedded inside the housing sleeve 304. The outer diameter of the limiting baffle 204 at the lower end of the lifting rod 203 is larger than the inner diameter of the anti-detachment pad ring 308, which prevents the flash drive 2 from detaching from the protective housing 3 during use. The flash drive 2 can rotate at multiple angles inside the housing sleeve 304 via the lifting rod 203. When data transmission is required using the flash drive 2, it can be rotated until its axis is not aligned with the axis of the protective housing 3, allowing control of the Type-C interface socket. Data transmission is achieved by plugging in either USB interface 201 or USB socket 202. When storing, the first and second limiting protective covers 301 and 302 are pushed towards both ends of the protective housing 3 to compress the transverse compression spring 305. Simultaneously, the L-shaped limiting plates 306 at both ends of the upper part of the protective housing 3 are rotated by the elastic shaft 309. After the L-shaped limiting plates 306 are secured to the edges of the grooves inside the first and second limiting protective covers 301 and 302, the force on the L-shaped limiting plates 306 is released, and the first and second limiting protective covers 301 and 302 are closed. After the entire flash drive 2 is positioned at both ends, the entire flash drive 2 is rotated inside the storage sleeve 304 by the lifting rod 203. The Type-C interface socket 201 is rotated to the position corresponding to the second limiting protective cover 302, and the USB interface socket 202 is rotated to the position corresponding to the first limiting protective cover 301. At this point, the central axis of the flash drive 2 coincides with the central axis of the protective housing 3, so the protective housing 3 will not obstruct the flash drive 2. Under the elastic reset force of the longitudinal reset spring 307 inside the storage sleeve 304, the flash drive 2 is pulled into the protective housing 3. This pulls the flash drive 2 towards the interior of the protective housing 3. When the L-shaped limiting plate 306 is pressed down, the elastic reset action of the transverse compression spring 305 will push the first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 together. The first limiting protective cover 301 and the second limiting protective cover 302 will be reset by the limiting slide groove 310 under the guidance of the limiting slider 303, so that the groove on the second limiting protective cover 302 completely covers the outside of the Type-C interface socket 201, while the groove on the first limiting protective cover 301 completely covers the outside of the USB interface socket 202. Therefore, the flash drive 2 will be housed inside the protective housing 3, which provides good protection.
