Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard drive tray technology, and in particular to a hard drive tray. Background Technology

[0002] Hard drives are the primary storage devices in computers. They consist of one or more aluminum or glass platters coated with a ferromagnetic material. Current hard drive brackets are secured with screws, requiring manual operation (screwdrivers or wrenches), which is time-consuming and labor-intensive in server maintenance or batch installation scenarios (average installation time is 2-5 minutes per hard drive). Furthermore, screws are prone to loosening under vibration (due to metal fatigue or thermal expansion and contraction), leading to hard drive displacement or poor contact.

[0003] Existing hard drive brackets use screws to fix the hard drive: the fixing method is cumbersome and prone to loosening, and it also lacks shock absorption, which shortens the life of the hard drive. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention solves the following technical problem: Existing hard drive brackets use screws to fix the hard drive, which is cumbersome and prone to loosening, and also lacks shock absorption, shortening the lifespan of the hard drive. Therefore, this invention provides a new type of hard drive bracket.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides:

[0006] A hard drive bracket includes a U-shaped bracket with mounting plates fixedly installed on both sides. Multiple shock-absorbing structures are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped bracket. A common support plate is arranged between two shock-absorbing structures located on the same horizontal axis. Two clamping and fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on the support plate, and a hard drive is arranged between the two clamping and fixing mechanisms. Two positioning magnets are fixedly installed on the top of the support plate, and two magnetic positioning slots are formed on the bottom of the hard drive, with the two positioning magnets cooperating with the two magnetic positioning slots.

[0007] Preferably, the damping structure includes a fixing strip, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the U-shaped bracket. Multiple damping shock absorbers are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing strip, and the top of the multiple damping shock absorbers is fixedly installed on the same mounting strip. The mounting strip has a slot, and the side of the support plate is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot. Two bolts are threaded to the top of the mounting strip, and the two bolts are used to lock the support plate.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the support plate has multiple heat dissipation holes, and the side of the support plate has a handle hole. The support plate can be pushed and pulled through the handle hole. The multiple heat dissipation holes on the support plate allow the heat generated at the bottom of the hard drive to dissipate through these holes, promote natural air convection around the hard drive, help reduce the operating temperature of the hard drive, and improve stability and lifespan.

[0009] Preferably, the clamping and fixing mechanism includes a clamping plate, and a side clamping block is fixedly installed on the inner side of the clamping plate. Side limiting grooves are provided on both sides of the hard disk. The side clamping block cooperates with the corresponding side limiting groove to limit the hard disk.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the support plate is provided with a sliding groove, the bottom of the clamping plate is fixedly installed with a slider, two limiting rods are fixedly installed in the sliding groove, and two limiting holes are provided on the slider. The limiting holes are slidably connected to the outer side of the limiting rods to ensure that the slider slides horizontally in the sliding groove.

[0011] Preferably, the clamping plate and the slider have the same through hole, and a locking rod is slidably installed in the through hole. The inner wall of the slide groove has multiple locking holes, and the locking rod cooperates with the locking holes. A handle is fixedly installed on the top of the locking rod, and a tension spring is sleeved on the outside of the locking rod. The bottom end of the tension spring is fixedly installed with the clamping plate, and the top end of the tension spring is fixedly installed with the handle. Through the tension of the tension spring, the handle drives the locking rod to move downward, and the locking rod enters the locking hole, which can fix the clamping plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0013] 1. Magnetic initial positioning: By using positioning magnets in conjunction with the magnetic positioning slots on the bottom of the hard drive, the hard drive can be automatically and quickly initially positioned when placed, eliminating the need for manual and precise alignment of the screw holes, greatly simplifying the first step.

[0014] Sliding clamping mechanism: The clamping plate can easily push the side clamping block into the side limiting groove of the hard drive by sliding the slider in the sliding groove. The operation is intuitive and labor-saving.

[0015] 2. Tool-free locking / unlocking: The locking lever, combined with a tension spring, allows for easy unlocking of the clamping plate for position adjustment simply by pulling the handle. Releasing the handle automatically pulls the locking lever into the locking hole for final fixation. The entire process requires no additional tools such as screwdrivers, making hard drive installation and removal extremely convenient.

[0016] 3. Multi-point distributed shock absorption: Multiple independent shock absorption structures are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped bracket, forming multiple support points, which can effectively disperse and absorb vibration impacts from different directions. The core of each shock absorption structure adopts multiple damping shock absorbers, which can effectively dissipate mechanical vibration energy, significantly reduce the vibration amplitude transmitted to the support plate and hard drive, provide professional-grade physical protection for the hard drive, and extend the life of the hard drive.

[0017] 4. Side-mounted locking: The side clamping blocks of the clamping plate are tightly embedded in the standard side-mounted locking slots of the hard drive, forming a mechanical rigid limit, effectively preventing the hard drive from moving or shaking in the horizontal direction (X / Y axis). Bottom magnetic assistance: The positioning magnets not only provide initial positioning, but their continuous magnetic force also provides additional vertical (Z axis) fixing force to prevent the hard drive from jumping or detaching.

[0018] 5. Clamping plate position locking: The locking rod and the locking hole in the slide groove cooperate to ensure that the clamping plate can be firmly locked after being adjusted into place, and will not be loosened due to vibration or accidental contact.

[0019] 6. U-shaped frame and mounting plates: The U-shaped bracket itself provides rigid support, and the mounting plates on both sides ensure that the entire bracket can be firmly installed into the chassis or equipment.

[0020] This invention enables quick and easy installation and removal of hard drives through magnetic positioning and tool-free sliding clamping mechanisms. Utilizing multi-point distributed damping shock absorbers, it provides excellent shock absorption protection, ensuring safe operation of the hard drive in harsh vibration environments. Combined with side hard limiting and bottom magnetic attraction, it achieves stable and reliable fixation of the hard drive in three dimensions. It also features a good heat dissipation design and a modular adjustable structure. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] See Figure 1-10 As shown, a hard drive bracket includes a U-shaped bracket 1. Mounting plates 11 are fixedly installed on both sides of the U-shaped bracket 1. Multiple shock-absorbing structures 2 are symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the U-shaped bracket 1. A common support plate 3 is arranged between two shock-absorbing structures 2 located on the same horizontal axis. Two clamping and fixing mechanisms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the support plate 3. A common hard drive 5 is arranged between the two clamping and fixing mechanisms 4. Two positioning magnets 6 are fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 3. Two magnetic positioning grooves 51 are opened on the bottom of the hard drive 5. The two positioning magnets 6 cooperate with the two magnetic positioning grooves 51.

[0034] In this embodiment, the shock-absorbing structure 2 includes a fixing strip 21, which is fixedly installed on the side wall of the U-shaped bracket 1. Multiple damping shock absorbers 22 are fixedly installed on the top of the fixing strip 21, and the same mounting strip 23 is fixedly installed on the top of the multiple damping shock absorbers 22. The mounting strip 23 has a slot 24. The side of the support plate 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 24. Two bolts 25 are threadedly connected to the top of the mounting strip 23. The two bolts 25 are used to lock the support plate 3. The multiple damping shock absorbers 22 are used to dampen the mounting strip 23, thereby providing shock absorption protection for the hard disk 5 on the support plate 3.

[0035] In this embodiment, the top of the support plate 3 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 31, and the side of the support plate 3 is provided with a handle hole 32, through which the support plate 3 can be pushed and pulled.

[0036] In this embodiment, the clamping and fixing mechanism 4 includes a clamping plate 41, on the inner side of which a side clamping block 44 is fixedly installed. Side limiting grooves 52 are provided on both sides of the hard disk 5. The side clamping block 44 cooperates with the corresponding side limiting groove 52 to limit the hard disk 5. A sliding groove 42 is provided on the top of the support plate 3. A slider 45 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the clamping plate 41. Two limiting rods 43 are fixedly installed in the sliding groove 42. Two limiting holes are provided on the slider 45. The limiting holes are slidably connected to the outer side of the limiting rods 43 to ensure that the slider 45 slides horizontally in the sliding groove 42.

[0037] In this embodiment, the clamping plate 41 and the slider 45 are provided with the same through hole, and a locking rod 46 is slidably installed in the through hole. The inner wall of the slide groove 42 is provided with multiple locking holes 49. The locking rod 46 cooperates with the locking holes 49.

The bottom end of the tension spring 48 is fixedly installed with the clamping plate 41, and the top end of the tension spring 48 is fixedly installed with the handle 47. Through the tension of the tension spring 48, the handle 47 drives the locking rod 46 to move downward, and the locking rod 46 enters the locking hole 49, which can fix the clamping plate 41.

[0038] Operating method: In use, insert the support plate 3 into the two slots 24, and lock the support plate 3 onto the mounting strip 23 with bolts 25. Place the hard drive 5 on top of the support plate 3. The hard drive 5 is initially magnetically attracted and fixed by the two positioning magnets 6 and the two magnetic positioning slots 51. Then, push the clamping and fixing mechanisms 4 on both sides of the hard drive 5 closer together, pull the handle 47 to drive the locking rod 46 away from the locking hole 49, and release the fixing of the clamping and fixing mechanism 4. Push the clamping plate 41 to drive the slider 45 to slide in the slide groove 42. The clamping plate 41 drives the side clamping block 44 into the side limiting groove 52 to limit and fix the side of the hard drive 5. The hard drive 5 can be quickly fixed by the cooperation of the two clamping plates 41 and the two side clamping blocks 44. The multiple heat dissipation holes 31 on the support plate 3 can cool down the hard drive 5. The multiple damping shock absorbers 22 are used to dampen the mounting strip 23, thereby protecting the hard drive 5 on the support plate 3.
