Description

Technical Field

[0001] This work relates to a hard drive installation, and more particularly to a storage device removable shelf structure. Background Technology

[0002] Nowadays, mainframe systems such as computers require a lot of storage space and therefore need to add hard drives. In order to facilitate the replacement of hard drives, hard drives are first installed on hard drive racks so that they can be installed into or removed from computer cases.

[0003] However, some existing hard drive bays require bolts to be fastened to the hard drive, which increases the complexity of assembly; while some hard drive bays do not require bolt assembly, but have too many components, which also increases the complexity of assembly.

[0004] Furthermore, most products on the market for similar purposes still employ a combination of a flexible sheet, screws (locking devices), and metal components. These metal components typically require zinc or nickel plating to maintain their luster or to provide corrosion resistance and rust prevention. However, electroplating often generates heavy metals and other harmful chemicals, which require additional treatment. From an environmental perspective, this is not an ideal process choice.

[0005] In view of this, in order to improve and solve the above-mentioned deficiencies, the creator has devoted himself to research and applied academic theories, and finally proposed a creation that is reasonably designed and effectively improves the above-mentioned deficiencies. Utility Model Content

[0058] To further reveal the features and technical content of this work, please refer to the following detailed description and accompanying drawings. However, the accompanying drawings are for reference and illustration purposes only and are not intended to limit this work.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figures shown are an exploded perspective view of the invention and a system rack, respectively. The invention provides a storage device pull-out rack structure 1 for mounting on a system rack 2, which may be a computer rack. The system rack 2 has at least one slot 20 for the storage device pull-out rack structure 1 to be inserted into the slot 20 and used by the system. The storage device pull-out rack structure 1 includes a receiving frame 10 and a traction member 11 located at the front end of the receiving frame 10; wherein:

[0060] The enclosure 10 is used to house at least one storage device (not shown), which may be a hard disk drive (HDD, such as E1.S standard, etc.). When the enclosure 10 is inserted into the slot 20 of the system rack 2, the hard disk drive can be connected to the motherboard (not shown) in the system rack 2, thereby providing the storage space required by the system.

[0061] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the traction member 11 can be a one-piece molded structure, including a base 12, a top 13, a flexible portion 14, and a traction portion 15. Wherein, as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the flexible portion 14 can be narrower in width than the aforementioned portion, and can be shaped like a "U" with a flexible segment 140, a first flexible arm 141 connected below the flexible segment 140, and a second flexible arm 142 connected above the flexible segment 140, forming a gap G between the first flexible arm 141 and the second flexible arm 142. The base 12 is connected below the first flexible arm 141, and each of the two sides of the base 12 can be provided with a leg 120, which extends forward to allow the base 12 to be stably placed in the slot 20 of the system frame 2. Furthermore, the top 13 is connected to the front of the second flexible arm 142, and a top edge 130 is provided on the top 13. When the traction member 11 and the housing frame 10 are inserted into the slot 20 of the system frame 2, the top edge 130 can abut against the top edge 21 inside the slot 20 and cannot be withdrawn (i.e., as shown). Figure 8 (As shown). The traction part 15 extends from the front of the top 13 so that the traction member 11, together with the housing 10, can be pulled out or pushed into the slot 20 of the system frame 2 by hand pressure or lever.

[0062] Please see again Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the top 13 may have a downwardly extending connecting wall 131 located in front of the base 12; specifically, the base 12 has a front end face 121, located at a distance behind the connecting wall 131. The first flexible arm 141 is connected to the front end face 121 of the base 12, forming a connecting groove 122 between the base 12 and the first flexible arm 141. The connecting groove 122 extends towards the rear of the base 12, and the front end of the receiving frame 10 may have a connecting edge 100, which can be inserted into the connecting groove 122 to allow the traction member 11 to be assembled at the front end of the receiving frame 10. Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of this invention, the base 12 may be provided with at least one connecting hole 12a, through which at least one connecting element 101 passes and is fixed within the connecting hole 12a; the connecting element 101 may be a bolt or a pin, and the top 13 is provided with a reinforcing wall 132 spaced apart on both sides of the flexural section 140, the two reinforcing walls 132 may be connected to the lateral side of the flexural section 140 to increase the strength of the flexural section 140, and each of the two reinforcing walls 132 may be provided with a working hole 132a, so that when the connecting element 101 needs to be assembled or disassembled using tools such as screwdrivers, the connecting element 101 can be constructed through the working hole 132a. Furthermore, as Figure 7As shown, in another embodiment of this invention, the base 12 may be provided with at least one protrusion 12b located in the mating groove 122, so that the mating edge 100 can be fitted together to form a whole.

[0063] Please see again Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the connecting wall 131 of the top 13 may have a bare portion 131a, which corresponds to the front end face 121 of the base 12. At least one vent 121a may be provided on the front end face 121 of the base 12, communicating with the housing 10, to facilitate ventilation and heat dissipation for the hard drive. Furthermore, elements such as indicator lights may be provided on the front end face 121 as a display interface for hard drive status. Moreover, the traction part 15 may be U-shaped, with a horizontally arranged pressure part 150 and two connecting parts 151. The two connecting parts 151 are connected to the connecting wall 131 of the top 13 from both sides of the pressure part 150. An arc-shaped pressing edge 150a may be provided on the pressure part 150 to facilitate manual pressure application.

[0064] Therefore, by constructing the above-mentioned structure, the storage device pull-out rack structure of this creation can be obtained.

[0065] Accordingly, Figure 8 As shown, when the aforementioned housing 10 is placed in the slot 20 of the system rack 2, the traction member 11 can abut against the top edge 21 inside the slot 20 with its abutment edge 130, thereby preventing the housing 10 from being pulled out directly in the extraction direction. Figure 9 As shown, when removing the part, only pressure needs to be applied to the traction part 15. Specifically, a person can apply pressure downwards to the pressure part 150 with their fingers from the pressing edge 150a, causing the second flexible arm 142 of the flexible part 14 to be subjected to pressure and flex and deform towards the first flexible arm 141, so that the abutment edge 130 located at the top 13 also moves downwards and is misaligned with the top edge 21 in the slot 20, thus allowing it to be removed as shown. Figure 10 The traction member 11 is pulled, and the receiving frame 10 is easily removed from the slot 20.

[0066] Therefore, the storage device pull-out rack structure of this invention simplifies the overall structure of the traction component 11 and allows for one-piece manufacturing. Compared to traditional designs that require multiple parts for assembly, this eliminates assembly time, effectively saves on materials and manufacturing costs, simplifies the production and assembly process, reduces environmental impact, and allows for easy installation or replacement by users. Furthermore, this invention meets the basic requirements for disassembling storage devices, achieving advantages such as maintaining or improving durability and ease of operation.

[0067] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
