Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk storage technology, specifically to a hard disk enclosure and a portable storage device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of data storage, hard drive enclosures, as a type of portable storage device accessory, are used to store and protect hard drives (such as mechanical hard drives or solid-state drives) for data storage. By connecting with mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, they enable mobile storage and cross-device transmission of data.

[0003] In related technologies, hard drive enclosures mainly suffer from the following three shortcomings: First, for physical protection, most hard drive enclosures completely seal the hard drive with a rigid metal or plastic casing. This structure prevents users from directly and promptly understanding the hard drive's operating status during connection and use. Users typically only realize a potential hard drive malfunction when obvious problems such as abnormal data transmission or system errors occur, by which time data security and usage efficiency have often already been compromised. Although some products have indicator lights, their locations are usually hidden or unclear, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0004] Secondly, existing hard drive enclosures offer limited options for placement and securing. During use, they are typically placed flat on a desktop, making them prone to slipping due to cable tangles. Furthermore, their fixed placement angle cannot be flexibly adjusted to suit different desktop environments or user viewing habits, impacting ease of use and comfort.

[0005] More importantly, when users want to use the hard drive enclosure with devices such as mobile phones and tablets, existing products generally lack convenient and stable integrated fixing solutions, making it difficult to achieve the convenient experience of "attach and use". Even if some products attempt to integrate support or adsorption functions, their structural layout is often unreasonable, causing interference between different functional modes, and failing to meet the combined scenario requirements of "attaching to devices" and "stable support on the desktop" at the same time.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for an innovative hard drive enclosure structure that can effectively solve multiple problems such as status visibility, adjustable support, and convenient device integration and fixation, thereby achieving a unity of personalization, ease of use, and multi-scenario adaptability in terms of structure. Utility Model Content

[0007] The present invention aims to provide a hard drive enclosure to solve the problems of inconvenient status observation, single and fixed placement method, and difficulty in convenient integration with mobile devices in the existing hard drive enclosure.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A hard drive enclosure, comprising: The housing has a storage cavity for installing a hard drive, and a transparent window on the front of the housing for observing the status indicator area inside the housing. A rotating bracket is rotatably connected to the front of the housing. The rotating bracket has a storage position and a support position relative to the housing. In the storage position, the rotating bracket is attached to the surface of the housing. In the support position, the plane of the rotating bracket is set at an angle to the plane of the housing. A magnetic suction assembly is located on the back of the housing, opposite to the rotating bracket, and is used to fix the hard drive enclosure to an external device by magnetic attraction.

[0009] In some embodiments, a control board is provided inside the storage cavity, and the control board is electrically connected to the storage hard disk to obtain its working data; an indicator light is provided on the control board, and the indicator light is located in the status indication area inside the housing, and the indicator light display mode corresponds to different working states of the storage hard disk.

[0010] In some embodiments, a light guide ring is provided inside the transparent window, and the light guide ring is arranged around the outer periphery of the transparent window to uniformly distribute the light emitted by the indicator light.

[0011] In some embodiments, the front of the housing has a mating surface corresponding to the rotating bracket, the transparent window is disposed on the mating surface, and the rotating bracket has clearance space matching the shape of the transparent window.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mating surface of the housing is provided with a receiving groove, and the rotating bracket is provided with a fastening groove at a corresponding position; when the rotating bracket is in the storage position, the fastening groove and the inner wall of the receiving groove together define an operating space, which is used for a user to reach in and rotate the rotating bracket.

[0013] In some embodiments, the magnetic assembly includes a mounting base and a plurality of magnetic blocks, the mounting base being fixedly connected to the back of the housing, and the plurality of magnetic blocks being arranged in an array on the mounting base.

[0014] In some embodiments, the hard drive enclosure further includes an anti-slip pad disposed on the side surface of the mounting base opposite to the housing.

[0015] In some embodiments, the hard drive enclosure further includes a connecting hinge, the connecting hinge including a fixed part and a movable part rotatably connected, one of the fixed part and the movable part being connected to the front of the housing, and the other of the fixed part and the movable part being connected to the rotating bracket; the fixed part has a connecting sleeve, the movable part has a connecting shaft, the connecting shaft being rotatably disposed within the connecting sleeve, the connecting sleeve being provided with a damper, the damper being connected to the end of the connecting shaft, such that the rotating bracket stops at any angle between 0 degrees and 90 degrees relative to the front of the housing to be in a supported position.

[0016] In some embodiments, a reserved opening is provided on the side of the housing for exposing the connection terminals of the storage hard disk.

[0017] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a portable storage device, which includes a storage hard disk and a hard disk enclosure provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein the storage hard disk is installed in the storage cavity of the hard disk enclosure.

[0018] Through the above technical solutions, the hard disk enclosure and mobile storage device provided by this utility model embodiment have at least the following advantages: 1) Enables intuitive monitoring of working status: Through the transparent window set on the front of the housing, users can directly observe the status indicator area inside the housing (such as the flashing status of the indicator light) without opening the housing, thereby obtaining the working status information of the storage hard drive in real time and conveniently, improving the security and user experience.

[0019] 2) Provides flexible and stable support: A rotating bracket, angled to the housing at its support position, allows users to flexibly adjust the placement angle of the hard drive enclosure according to their usage scenarios and viewing habits. This not only enables the hard drive enclosure to be placed stably on various surfaces but also provides better viewing and operational comfort. Furthermore, the bracket fits snugly against the housing when stored, making it easy to carry.

[0020] 3) It achieves convenient integration and fixation with mobile devices: Through the magnetic component set on the back of the shell, users can directly and firmly attach the hard drive enclosure to mobile devices such as mobile phones and tablets that support wireless charging or have magnetic patches, which greatly expands the usage scenarios and achieves the convenient experience of "attach and use".

[0021] 4) Optimized structural layout to avoid functional interference: By placing the rotating bracket and magnetic components on the front and back of the housing respectively, functional partitioning is achieved. This layout allows the desktop support function and the device adsorption function of the hard drive enclosure to work simultaneously or independently without interference, giving full play to their respective functional advantages and achieving efficient synergy between the "support" and "adsorption" usage modes.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a hard drive enclosure, which includes a shell 11, a rotating bracket 13 and a magnetic suction assembly 17.

[0030] The housing 11 has a storage cavity 111 for installing the storage hard disk 100. The front of the housing 11 has a transparent window 112, which corresponds to the status indicator area inside the housing and is used for the user to observe the working status of the storage hard disk 100.

[0031] The rotating bracket 13 is rotatably connected to the front of the housing 11. The rotating bracket 13 has a storage position and a support position relative to the housing 11. When the rotating bracket 13 is in the storage position, the rotating bracket 13 is attached to the surface of the housing 11. When the rotating bracket 13 is in the support position, the plane of the rotating bracket 13 is set at an angle to the plane of the housing 11.

[0032] The magnetic attachment 17 is located on the back of the housing 11, opposite to the rotating bracket 13 located on the front of the housing. The magnetic attachment 17 is used to fix the hard drive enclosure to external devices such as mobile phones and tablets by magnetic attraction.

[0033] With the above structural layout, the rotating stand 13 and the magnetic assembly 17 are located on opposite sides of the housing, achieving functional partitioning. This allows users to use the magnetic assembly 17 to attach the hard drive enclosure to mobile devices such as phones and tablets that support wireless charging or have magnetic pads, while simultaneously using the rotating stand 13 to stably support the entire device on a desktop. The two functions do not interfere with each other and can work together effectively.

[0034] The storage cavity 111 inside the housing 11 provides a stable storage space for the storage hard drive 100, effectively preventing the intrusion of external dust, moisture, and other foreign objects, thus avoiding damage to the delicate mechanical structure and electronic components inside the hard drive. The transparent window 112 on the front of the housing 11 provides a clear view for the user to observe the status indicator area inside the housing 11, making it convenient for the user to understand the working status of the storage hard drive 100.

[0035] The rotating bracket 13's rotatable connection to the front of the housing 11 allows the bracket to function in both a stowed and a supporting position relative to the housing 11. When stowed, the bracket 13 fits snugly against the housing 11, facilitating easy carrying and storage of the hard drive enclosure and preventing any protrusion that could cause inconvenience. When supported, the bracket 13 forms an angle with the plane of the housing 11, an angle that can be flexibly adjusted and maintained within a certain range. This angle not only provides stable and reliable support for the hard drive enclosure but also allows users to easily adjust the angle of the bracket 13 according to their usage scenario and viewing habits, placing the hard drive enclosure on a desktop or other flat surface in the most comfortable and stable manner.

[0036] It should be noted that a transparent lens 115 is embedded within the transparent window 112. This transparent lens 115 can be made of acrylic or glass. In this embodiment, the transparent lens 115 is made of high-transmittance acrylic with a light transmittance exceeding 92%, ensuring efficient light transmission from the status indicator area within the housing, presenting clear and undiminished status indicator details to the user.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a control board 113 is provided inside the storage cavity 111. The control board 113 is electrically connected to the storage hard disk 100 to obtain the working data of the storage hard disk 100. An indicator light is provided on the control board 113. The indicator light is located in the status indication area inside the housing 11, and the display mode of the indicator light (such as color, flashing frequency, etc.) corresponds to the different working states of the storage hard disk 100 (such as power on, read / write, hibernation, fault, etc.).

[0038] With this configuration, users can directly observe the visual signals provided by the indicator lights through the transparent window 112, thereby intuitively and instantly understanding the working status of the hard drive. In a preferred embodiment, the indicator lights are arranged in a ring around the outer periphery of the transparent window 112, making the status indication more eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing.

[0039] The indicator lights translate the internal operating status of the hard drive enclosure into a clear and unambiguous visual language. For example, users can directly determine the current data transfer speed based on the specific color or flashing pattern of the indicator lights, or detect potential hard drive or connection failures immediately upon encountering abnormal flashing or a sudden drop in speed. This allows users to quickly take appropriate corrective measures, such as checking connection cables, replacing hard drive enclosure interfaces, or restarting the device, thereby significantly shortening troubleshooting time and effectively reducing the risk of data loss or corruption due to failure to address faults in a timely manner, providing strong protection for user data security.

[0040] Furthermore, a light guide ring 116 is provided inside the transparent window 112. The light guide ring 116 is arranged around the outer periphery of the transparent window 112 to uniformly distribute the light emitted by the indicator light.

[0041] By setting a light guide ring 116 around the transparent window 112, the light from the originally dotted or localized indicator lights can be scattered and conducted, making them evenly fill the entire ring area. This effectively eliminates local glare and creates a soft, uniform, and eye-catching halo indicator effect. This not only enhances the aesthetics and sophistication of the status indicator but also allows users to clearly identify the working status from a wider perspective, reducing the probability of misjudgment. At the same time, the structure of the light guide ring 116 also serves to hide the specific location of the LED beads, simplifying the limitations of the internal layout on optical design.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the front of the housing 11 has a mating surface 114 corresponding to the rotating bracket 13, and a transparent window 112 is disposed on the mating surface 114. The rotating bracket 13 has a clearance space 131 that matches the shape of the transparent window 112. When the rotating bracket 13 is rotated to the storage position and mated to the front of the housing, its clearance space 131 is directly opposite the transparent window 112, thereby completely exposing the transparent window 112. This structural design brings dual technical benefits: Firstly, it ensures functional visibility. When the bracket is stowed, the user's line of sight can be unobstructed through the transparent window 112 to clearly observe the internal status indicators, ensuring the normal operation of core monitoring functions and achieving integration of storage and observation.

[0043] Secondly, it provides structural protection. While exposing the window, the inner wall of the clearance space 131 actually forms a raised frame surrounding the transparent window 112. When the hard drive enclosure is carried or stored, this frame can effectively prevent direct friction or impact from desktop or other object surfaces on the window surface, thereby significantly reducing the risk of the window being scratched or damaged, and protecting its optical transparency and structural integrity.

[0044] This design cleverly combines the stowed state of the rotating bracket 13 with the functional protection of the transparent window 112, thereby maximizing the use of space in the mechanism.

[0045] Preferably, the housing 11 is made of aluminum alloy. This material combines high structural strength with light weight, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It effectively provides reliable physical protection for the internal storage hard drive 100 and control board 113 while effectively controlling the overall weight of the hard drive enclosure. In a preferred embodiment, the total weight of the hard drive enclosure can be controlled to below 60 grams, making it very convenient for users to carry and use.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the mating surface 114 of the housing 11 is provided with a receiving groove 1141, and the rotating bracket 13 is provided with a corresponding buckle groove 132. When the rotating bracket 13 is in the storage position, the buckle groove 132 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 1141 together define an operating space, which is used for the user to reach in and rotate the rotating bracket 13.

[0047] This structural design significantly enhances the ergonomics and convenience of operation. The resulting operating space provides a clear point of leverage for the user's fingers when the rotating bracket 13 is closed. Without the need for any tools, the user can easily and effortlessly extend the rotating bracket 13 from its retracted position to its supported position simply by inserting their fingertips into this space, achieving convenient one-handed operation. This design cleverly solves the common problem of difficulty in manually opening brackets on flat devices through a simple mechanical structure, improving the product's user experience and market competitiveness.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic assembly 17 includes a mounting base 171 and a plurality of magnetic blocks 173. The mounting base 171 is fixedly connected to the back of the housing 11, and the plurality of magnetic blocks 173 are arranged in an array on the mounting base 171.

[0049] The magnetic assembly 17, through an array of magnetic blocks 173, can form multiple evenly distributed strong magnetic points on the adsorption surface, thereby establishing a stable and flat connection with external devices. This design avoids shaking or tilting that may occur due to concentrated magnetic force, ensuring the integrity and reliability of the hard drive enclosure when it is adsorbed onto the back of mobile devices.

[0050] Preferably, the mounting base 171 is provided with a plurality of mounting slots 172 arranged in a ring at intervals, and each magnetic block 173 is embedded in the mounting slot 172 in a corresponding manner. This ensures the precise and fixed position of all magnetic units, preventing them from shifting inside the housing; on the other hand, the ring arrangement can achieve optimal magnetic circuit matching with the ring magnet or universal magnetic accessories inside the mobile device, thereby achieving rapid adsorption and docking and smooth separation operations, improving the convenience of use.

[0051] To further enhance stability, the hard drive enclosure also includes an anti-slip pad 19, which is located on the side of the mounting base 171 facing away from the housing 11. The anti-slip pad 19 adds a high-friction interface between the magnetic assembly 17 and the external device. When the magnetic force pulls the hard drive enclosure closer to the external device, the anti-slip pad 19 effectively overcomes the slippery characteristics of the device housing (especially metal or smooth glass surfaces) through the adhesive effect of its surface. This significantly suppresses the tendency of the hard drive enclosure to slide or shift when subjected to external forces such as cable pulling or minor collisions, achieving a lateral stability that is difficult to achieve with pure magnetic fixation.

[0052] Preferably, the anti-slip pad 19 is made of silicone. Silicone not only provides an ideal coefficient of friction, but its inherent elasticity also allows the anti-slip pad 19 to actively adapt to the slight curvature and texture of the equipment surface when under pressure, increasing the actual contact area through micro-deformation, thereby maximizing friction and ensuring a more stable and reliable connection.

[0053] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the hard drive enclosure further includes a connecting hinge 15, through which the rotating bracket 13 is rotatably connected to the housing 11. The connecting hinge 15 includes a fixed part 151 and a movable part 152 rotatably connected. One of the fixed part 151 and the movable part 152 is connected to the housing 11, and the other of the fixed part 151 and the movable part 152 is connected to the rotating bracket 13. The fixed part 151 has a connecting sleeve 1511, and the movable part 152 has a connecting shaft 1521. The connecting shaft 1521 is rotatably disposed within the connecting sleeve 1511. The connecting sleeve 1511 is provided with a damper 153, which is connected to the end of the connecting shaft 1521, so that the rotating bracket 13 can stop at any angle between 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees relative to the front of the housing 11 to be in a supported position.

[0054] In this embodiment, the housing 11 includes a body 1171 and a connecting seat 1172. The connecting seat 1172 is fixedly connected to the body 1171 and is connected to the rotating bracket 13 via a connecting hinge 15. The fixed part 151 is connected to the connecting seat 1172, and the movable part 152 is connected to the rotating bracket 13.

[0055] The design of this combined structure connecting hinge 15 and damper 153 brings the following technical benefits: 1) Achieves stepless adjustment and reliable positioning: The damper 153 provides constant rotational resistance, enabling the rotating bracket 13 to hover stably at any angle within a range greater than 0 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. This gives users the ability to freely and precisely adjust the support angle according to the viewing angle and scene, achieving true stepless adjustment.

[0056] 2) Improved operation quality and equipment protection: The damper 153 effectively reduces the rotation speed of the rotating bracket 13 when it is unfolded and retracted, making its movement smooth and slow, avoiding the impact that may be caused by rapid opening or closing, which not only improves the operation quality of high-end products, but also reduces the vibration impact on the internal hard drive.

[0057] 3) Enhanced anti-interference capability of the support state: After being adjusted to the required angle, the static friction generated by the damper 153 is sufficient to offset minor external forces in daily use (such as touching the desktop or pulling cables), effectively preventing the bracket from rotating accidentally due to accidental contact and ensuring the stability and reliability of the support state.

[0058] Optionally, the damper 153 can be configured as a spring type or a hydraulic type. The spring-type damper 153 generates resistance through the elastic deformation of the spring, and its structure is simple and its cost is low. The hydraulic-type damper 153 utilizes the flow resistance of viscous fluid within a sealed cavity to generate a damping effect. It can provide a more stable and uniform damping force, resulting in a superior damping effect, but its structure is relatively complex and its cost is higher.

[0059] In some embodiments, the housing 11 is provided with a reserved opening 119, which is used to expose the connection terminals of the storage hard disk 100, so that it can establish a communication connection with external devices through a wiring harness to realize data transmission.

[0060] The design of the reserved port 119 provides the hard drive enclosure with a dedicated, standardized, and protected external interface channel. By precisely limiting the insertion and removal operation area of ​​the storage hard drive 100's connection terminals to the reserved port 119, not only is the accuracy and reliability of the interface connection ensured, preventing device damage caused by mis-insertion or blind insertion, but the routing of external cables is also made neater. At the same time, this structure effectively reduces the opening area of ​​the casing, maximizing the maintenance of the casing's structural integrity while ensuring functionality, helping to prevent dust and improve the overall aesthetics.

[0061] In addition, it should be noted that in this application, the various components such as the housing 11, the rotating bracket 13, the connecting hinge 15, and the mounting base 171 can be connected by conventional connection methods in the art, such as stud connection, snap connection, welding, or bonding, which will not be described in detail here.

[0062] Based on the same inventive concept, this utility model also provides a mobile storage device, which includes a storage hard disk 100 and a hard disk enclosure provided in any of the above embodiments. The storage hard disk 100 is installed in the storage cavity 111 of the hard disk enclosure, together constituting a fully functional independent product.

[0063] By integrating the storage hard drive 100 with the innovative hard drive enclosure of this invention, the resulting portable storage device inherits all the technological advantages of the enclosure. It not only possesses core functions such as intuitive monitoring of its working status through a transparent window 112, stepless adjustment of the placement angle via a rotating bracket 13, and convenient attachment to mobile devices via a magnetic component 17, but more importantly, these functions are highly integrated into a compact and rationally laid-out whole. Ultimately, this provides users with an integrated data storage solution that offers visible status, flexible placement, convenient fixation, and easy portability, greatly improving usability and data security in various complex application scenarios.

[0064] It should be noted that the mobile storage device provided in this application embodiment has the same implementation principle and technical effect as the aforementioned hard disk enclosure embodiment. For the sake of brevity, any parts not mentioned in the mobile storage device embodiment can be referred to the corresponding content in the aforementioned hard disk enclosure embodiment.
