[0002] Intelligent data storage devices refer to storage systems that can automatically, efficiently, and securely manage and process data. Through built-in processors, operating systems, AI algorithms, and network connections, they can achieve intelligent data classification, automatic backup, collaborative sharing, security protection, content analysis, and value mining. There are many types of intelligent data storage devices, including: intelligent portable hard drives / USB flash drives (personal level), storage servers (enterprise level), and so on. A smart portable hard drive is not just a physical storage container, but a portable storage device that provides "intelligent" functions such as data management, security protection, and convenient connectivity through the integration of software, security chips, or special designs. In practical use, smart portable hard drives need to be connected to mobile phones and computers via a data cable. Carrying the data cable separately is inconvenient. Therefore, some smart portable hard drives on the market integrate a flexible, retractable, or pluggable data cable directly into the hard drive or its casing. The data cable becomes a physical part of the hard drive and does not need to be carried separately. However, the hard drive does not have an external storage structure for the data cable, and the data cable is easily squeezed or bent during transport, resulting in damage to the data cable. Based on this, a data storage device is provided. Utility Model Content

[0015] Please see Figures 1-3 In this embodiment of the present invention, a data storage device includes a portable hard drive 1 consisting of a hard drive casing 101, a data cable 102, and a data plug 103. The data cable 102 is fixed at the center of one end of the hard drive casing 101 and extends to the motherboard inside the hard drive casing 101 for electrical connection. The data plug 103 is fixed at the other end of the data cable 102. A protective component 2 is provided on the outside of the hard drive casing 101. The protective component 2 is used to protect the hard drive casing 101 and the data cable 102. Protective component 2 includes a buffer protection unit and an anti-crush protection unit; The buffer protection unit is used to provide impact buffer protection for the exterior of the hard drive casing 101; The anti-pinch protection unit is used to limit and store the data cable 102 and the data plug 103, so as to prevent the data cable 102 from being damaged due to excessive bending. The buffer protection unit includes a bottom block 201, an arc-shaped side 202, and a top block 203; Two arc-shaped sides 202 are provided, and the two arc-shaped sides 202 are symmetrically distributed and fixed in the middle of the bottom block 201 and the arc-shaped side 202. The protective sleeve structure composed of the bottom block 201, the arc-shaped side 202, and the top block 203 is fitted onto the outside of the hard disk casing 101 to provide collision buffer protection for the front, rear and sides of the hard disk casing 101. The anti-pinch protection unit includes an L-shaped connector 206, a J-shaped guide groove 207, a first C-shaped buckle 208, and a second C-shaped buckle 209; The L-shaped connector 206 is fixed to the outer end of the bottom block 201, and the J-shaped guide groove 207 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped connector 206 and extends to the side of the arc-shaped side 202 and is fixedly connected to the arc-shaped side 202. The first C-type buckle 208 and the second C-type buckle 209 are sequentially fixedly connected to the side of the arc-shaped side 202; The data cable 102 passes through the bottom block 201 and is sequentially snapped into the inside of the J-shaped guide groove 207 and the first C-shaped buckle 208. The data plug 103 is snapped into the inside of the second C-shaped buckle 209, which is used to achieve the standardized storage of the data cable 102 and the data plug 103.

[0016] In this embodiment, it should be noted that the portable hard drive 1 is a conventional smart portable hard drive as commonly known in the art, and its internal storage structure is a general structure. Therefore, it will not be described in detail here. In its normal storage state, the data cable 102 is secured to the inside of the J-shaped guide groove 207 and the first C-shaped latch 208, and the data plug 103 is secured to the inside of the second C-shaped latch 209 (e.g., Figure 1 / 2), thus achieving standardized storage of the data cable 102 and data plug 103. When carrying, it can effectively prevent the data cable 102 from being damaged due to excessive bending caused by external pressure. At the same time, the J-shaped guide groove 207 can limit the bending arc of the data cable 102 during storage, preventing excessive bending at the root of the data cable 102 during storage. In addition, a protective sleeve structure composed of a bottom block 201, an arc-shaped side 202, and a top block 203 is fitted onto the outside of the hard drive casing 101. When the sides or ends of the hard drive casing 101 are impacted, the bottom block 201, the arc-shaped side 202, and the top block 203 can provide cushioning and prevent hard impacts, thus providing protection for the hard drive casing 101. (It should be noted that the bottom block 201, the arc-shaped side 202, and the top block 203 can also provide some protection when the hard drive casing 101 is accidentally dropped.) When the data plug 103 is needed, simply remove the data cable 102 and the data plug 103. The operation is simple and convenient. It should be further explained that: the cross-section of the J-type guide groove 207 and the first C-type buckle 208 is "C" shaped and matches the outer diameter of the data cable 102; the cross-section of the second C-type buckle 209 is "C" shaped and matches the outer wall of the data plug 103; the J-type guide groove 207, the first C-type buckle 208, and the second C-type buckle 209 have good reset elasticity, which not only enables convenient access to the data cable 102 and the data plug 103, but also enables stable storage of the data cable 102 and the data plug 103.

[0017] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3Two sets of J-shaped guide grooves 207, first C-shaped buckles 208, and second C-shaped buckles 209 are symmetrically arranged around the hard disk casing 101, and the two J-shaped guide grooves 207 are interconnected and conductive. The two J-shaped guide grooves 207 form a "W" shape overall.

[0018] In this embodiment, the structure of two sets of J-shaped guide grooves 207, the first C-shaped buckle 208, and the second C-shaped buckle 209 allows the data cable 102 to be bent and stored in either direction, making it more flexible and convenient to use. In addition, the two J-shaped guide grooves 207 are in a "W" shape, forming two annular areas, which can be used for suspension and carrying through one of the annular areas.

[0019] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 A straight slot 204 is provided at the contact position between the bottom block 201 and the data cable 102. L-shaped connectors 206 are distributed below the straight slot 204. The inner wall size of the straight slot 204 is larger than the outer wall size of the data plug 103. The hard drive casing 101 has heat dissipation holes formed at the end away from the data cable 102, and the top block 203 has a clearance slot 205, the inner wall size of the clearance slot 205 is larger than the size of the area where the heat dissipation holes are distributed.

[0020] In this embodiment: the straight slot 204 provides a channel for the data plug 103 and data cable 102 to pass through the bottom block 201, which facilitates the assembly of the protective component 2 and the hard disk casing 101; The structure of the clearance slot 205 is designed to avoid the heat dissipation holes and does not affect the operation of the heat dissipation structure of the external hard drive 1 itself.

[0021] Please refer to this carefully. Figures 1-3 The bottom block 201, the arc-shaped side 202, the top block 203, the straight groove 204, the clearance groove 205, the L-shaped connector 206, the J-shaped guide groove 207, the first C-shaped buckle 208, and the second C-shaped buckle 209 are integrally formed by rubber injection molding.

[0022] In this embodiment, the protective component 2 is made entirely of rubber, which has good cushioning function and elastic restoring force. Moreover, the production process is mature, the cost is controllable, and it is easy to process, produce, and promote its use.
