[0025] The hard drive is the primary storage medium for computers and servers (e.g., storage servers). For example, operating systems in computers and data in servers are stored on the hard drive. Currently, there are two types of hard drive mounting; reference is made specifically to... Fig. 1 and Fig. I took 2.

[0026] Referring to Fig. Threaded holes are provided on both the hard drive frame 1 and the hard drive 2. The hard drive 2 is inserted into the hard drive frame 1, and the threaded holes on the sides of the hard drive frame 1 are aligned with the threaded holes on the hard drive 2. The screws 3 are then screwed into the threaded holes on the hard drive frame 1 and the hard drive 2 using a tool such as a screwdriver. With this type of mounting, at least two screws 3 are generally required for a single hard drive 2. When installing, repairing, or replacing the hard drive 2, the screws 3 must be screwed in or out using a tool such as a screwdriver. Only then can the hard drive 2 be removed and installed, which is time-consuming and strenuous, resulting in low efficiency for both installation and removal.If the operating space in the enclosure is limited, the hard drive frame 1 must be removed from the enclosure to install or remove the hard drive.

[0027] Referring to Fig. In this process, the hard drive 2 is attached to the hard drive frame 1 by the hard drive carrier 4. Specifically, the hard drive 2 is first attached to the hard drive carrier 4 with pins, and then the hard drive carrier 4 is snapped into the hard drive frame 1, with the hard drive carrier 4 and the hard drive frame 1 being locked together. The assembly process is cumbersome and leads to low efficiency, and it is impossible to achieve a quick maintenance change of the hard drive. Furthermore, the assembly and operation of the additional hard drive carrier 4 each require space, which is not suitable for a compact housing. In addition, the extra hard drive carrier 4 increases the cost of the entire machine setup.

[0028] For this purpose, the present application provides a hard disk mounting device, a hard disk cage and a device with a storage function, wherein the hard disk mounting device comprises a hard disk housing, a flap plate and a buckle, wherein a first end of the flap plate is rotatably installed on the first side of the hard disk housing, the first end of the buckle is rotatably installed on the second side of the hard disk housing, and the second end of the buckle is latched to the second end of the flap plate, such that the hard disk housing, the buckle and the flap plate form a receiving chamber to confine the hard disk into the receiving chamber, and the receiving chamber can receive the hard disk, thereby achieving the mounting of the hard disk;If the hard drive needs to be removed, the locking mechanism of the second end of the buckle and the second end of the flap plate is released, allowing the hard drive to be removed from the hard drive housing. This operation is simple, saves time and effort, and is highly efficient.

[0029] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the drawings are exemplary and are intended to illustrate the present application without being construed as limiting the invention.

[0030] Referring to Fig. 3 The present application provides a hard disk mounting device comprising a hard disk housing 10, a hinged plate 20 and a buckle 30; wherein one side of the hard disk housing 10 has a mounting opening and a first side 111 and a second side 121, which are spaced apart by the mounting opening and are opposite each other; wherein the first end of the hinged plate 20 is rotatably installed on the first side 111; wherein the first end of the buckle 30 is rotatably installed on the second side 121, and the second end of the buckle 30 is snapped to the second end of the hinged plate 20 to form a receiving chamber through the hard disk housing 10, the hinged plate 20 and the buckle 30, which can receive the hard disk 2.

[0031] In the present embodiment, the hard disk enclosure 10 can be a rectangular structure comprising a rectangular base plate and four side plates arranged on the base plate, wherein the four side plates are a first side plate 11, a second side plate 12, a third side plate 13, and a fourth side plate 14, the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 being spaced apart along the Y-direction in the figure, and the third side plate 13 and the fourth side plate 14 being spaced apart along the X-direction in the figure. The base plate and the four side plates of the hard disk enclosure 10 can be welded together, or the base plate and the four side plates of the hard disk enclosure 10 can be riveted together, etc.The top of the hard drive housing 10 has a mounting opening, the upper end of the first side plate 11 forms the first side 111, and the upper end of the second side plate 12 forms the second side 121.

[0032] The flap plate 20 can be a rectangular plate or an irregularly shaped plate or the like, and its first end is rotatably installed on the first side 111; for example, the first end and the first side 111 of the flap plate 20 are each provided with a joint sleeve; a cardan shaft is inserted in the joint sleeves on the flap plate 20 and the first side 111 such that the flap plate 20 can be rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10; or, for example, the first end and the first side 111 of the flap plate 20 are hinged so that the flap plate 20 can be rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10.

[0033] The first end of the buckle 30 is rotatably installed on the second side 121; for example, the first end and the second side 121 of the buckle 30 are each provided with a joint sleeve, and a drive shaft is inserted into the joint sleeves on the buckle 30 and the second side 121 such that the buckle 30 can be rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10; or, for example, the first end of the buckle 30 and the second side 121 are hinged together so that the buckle 30 can be rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10.

[0034] The second end of the buckle 30 is latched to the second end of the flap plate 20. For example, the second end of the buckle 30 is provided with a buckle, and the second end of the flap plate 20 is provided with a hook that latches to the buckle; nor, for example, is the second end of the buckle 30 provided with a claw, and the second end of the flap plate 20 is provided with a groove that latches to the claw; nor, for example, is the second end of the buckle 30 provided with a latching projection, and the second end of the flap plate 20 is provided with a latching recess that latches to the latching projection. There are several latching configurations for the buckle 30 and the flap plate 20, which are not limited here.

[0035] The hard disk housing 10, the flap plate 20, and the buckle 30 form a receiving chamber, and the receiving chamber can accommodate the hard disk 2. Furthermore, the hard disk can be clamped in the receiving chamber. For example, the inner side surfaces of the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 are each provided with a rubber sliding surface, and the hard disk 2 is clamped in the receiving chamber by the elastic force of the rubber sliding surface; or, for example, an elastic separator is arranged in the receiving chamber and divides the receiving chamber into two sub-chambers, and the hard disk 2 is clamped in place by means of the elastic separator and the side plates of the hard disk housing 10.

[0036] Referring to the Fig. 5 to Fig. 7, the installation process of the hard disk to the hard disk mounting device provided by an embodiment of the present application is described in detail below: First, referring to Fig. In step 5, the second end of the flap plate 20 and the second end of the buckle 30 are opened, and the flap plate 20 and the buckle 30 are rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10, and the flap plate 20 and the buckle 30 are rotated away from each other to open the mounting opening. This directs the bottom of the hard disk 2 towards the mounting opening, i.e., the hard disk 2 is inserted perpendicularly into the hard disk housing 10.

[0037] Next, all hard drives 2 will be referenced. Fig. 6, installed in the hard drive box 10.

[0038] Finally, with reference to Fig. 7. The hard disk 2 and the buckle 30 are each rotated relative to the hard disk housing 10 and turned towards each other to close the mounting opening, and the second end of the flap plate 20 and the second end of the buckle 30 are locked into place, thus restricting the hard disk 2 within the receiving chamber. The hard disk 2 can be clamped within the receiving chamber, preventing it from shaking within the chamber; the flap plate 20 and the buckle 30 work together to prevent the hard disk 2 from detaching from the mounting opening.

[0039] When hard drive 2 needs to be serviced and replaced, its operation is the opposite of the installation operation of hard drive 2, i.e. first the latch of the second end of the flap plate 20 and the second end of the buckle 30 is opened; then the flap plate 20 and the buckle 30 are rotated to open the mounting opening and all hard drives 2 are removed from the hard drive box 10, this operation is simple, convenient, saves time and effort and has high work efficiency.

[0040] The hard disk mounting device of the embodiment of the present application comprises a hard disk housing, a hinged plate, and a buckle, wherein a first end of the hinged plate is rotatably mounted on the first side of the hard disk housing, the first end of the buckle is rotatably mounted on the second side of the hard disk housing, and the second end of the buckle is latched to the second end of the hinged plate, such that the hard disk housing, the buckle, and the hinged plate form a receiving chamber that delimits the hard disk, and the receiving chamber can receive the hard disk, thereby securing the hard disk; when the hard disk needs to be removed, the latching of the second end of the buckle and the second end of the hinged plate is released, thereby allowing the hard disk to be removed from the hard disk housing, this operation being simple, time- and force-saving, and highly efficient.

[0041] Referring to the Fig. 3 and Fig. 9, the hard disk mounting device in this embodiment further comprises at least one separator which is mounted in the receiving chamber and divides the receiving chamber into at least two sub-receiving chambers, and the sub-receiving chambers can accommodate the hard disks 2.

[0042] The separator can be a rectangular plate to which an elastic cushion is applied, which is parallel to the third side plate 13 of the disk box 10 and separates the receiving chamber into sub-receiving chambers, and the disks 2 are clamped in sub-receiving chambers under the elastic pressure of the elastic cushion.

[0043] In some embodiments, a separator is provided that divides the recording chamber into two sub-recording chambers; and in other embodiments, several hard disks 2 must be provided. In these embodiments, several separators are provided, and the several separators are spaced apart from one another in the second preset direction; the second preset direction being perpendicular to the first preset direction, which will be described later. For example, the second preset direction is the X-direction in Fig. 3, and the first preset direction is the Z-direction in Fig. 3. Two, three, four, etc. separators can be provided, resulting in three, four, five, etc. sub-capacity compartments, i.e., the number of sub-capacity compartments is one more than the number of separators. In the embodiments of the present application, the number of separators is not limited, and the person skilled in the art in this field can flexibly adjust the number of separators based on the actual situation, such as the volume of the disk box 10, the volume of the disks 2, and the installation space of the enclosure.

[0044] In this embodiment, the receiving chamber is divided into at least two sub-receiving chambers by arranging at least one separator in the receiving chamber, which increases the number of installed hard drives, and the structure for clamping the hard drive can be flexibly adjusted.

[0045] In one possible implementation, the separator comprises at least two elastic shafts 40, wherein the at least two elastic shafts 40 are spaced apart from each other in the first preset direction; wherein both ends of the elastic shafts 40 are connected to the first side plate 11 and the side plate 12, respectively; wherein the disk housing 10 comprises a first side plate 11 and a second side plate 12, which are spaced apart and opposite each other; wherein the disks 2 can be clamped in the lower receiving chambers under the action of the elastic force of the elastic shafts 40.

[0046] Referring to the Fig. 3 and Fig. 9 the elastic wave 40 extends in the Y direction in the figure, and its first end is connected to the first side plate 11, and the second end is connected to the second side plate 12; the Z direction in the figure is the first direction shown.

[0047] The number of elastic shafts 40 encompassing the separator can be two, three, four or more, etc., and the multiple elastic shafts 40 are spaced apart from each other along the Z-direction, as shown in Fig. Figure 9 shows that the average professional working in this field can adjust the number of elastic shafts (40) based on the actual situation, such as the size of the hard drive (2), the hard drive housing (10), or the like.

[0048] In the present embodiment, the separator comprises at least two elastic shafts 40, wherein while the elastic force of the elastic shafts 40 clamps the hard disk 2, there is a gap between the elastic shafts 40, which improves the heat dissipation capacity of the hard disk 2; In addition, the contact area between the elastic shaft 40 and the hard disk 2 is small, and the frictional force between the hard disk 2 and the elastic shaft 40 is small, so that the insertion and removal of the hard disk 2 is facilitated.

[0049] There are a variety of structures of the elastic shaft 40; for example, the elastic shaft 40 can be a separate elastic shaft, such as a rubber shaft, a silica gel shaft, and the like, with a simple structure and convenient processing; furthermore, for example, the elastic shaft 40 includes, with regard to Fig. 4 a rotating shaft 41 and an elastic sleeve 42 mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 41, wherein the rotating shaft 41 is a rigid shaft, for example a metal shaft; wherein the elastic sleeve 42 is a sheath structure with elasticity, such as a rubber sleeve, a silicone sleeve, or a sponge sleeve, or the like. The two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are each connected to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12. Therefore, the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are connected to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and the disk 2 is clamped in the lower receiving chamber under the action of the elastic force of the elastic sleeve 42, and its structure is simple, convenient to disassemble and assemble; after the elastic sleeve 42 has aged, only the elastic sleeve 42 can be replaced without having to replace the rotating shaft 41, thus saving maintenance costs.

[0050] There are many ways to connect the rotary shaft 41 to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12.

[0051] In some possible implementation examples, the elastic sleeve 42 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the rotating shaft 41, and both ends of the rotating shaft 41 are rigidly connected to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, respectively. The inner diameter of the elastic sleeve 42 is larger than the outer diameter of the rotating shaft 41; that is, when the elastic sleeve 42 is mounted on the rotating shaft 41, there is a gap between the inner wall of the elastic sleeve 42 and the rotating shaft 41, allowing the elastic sleeve 42 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 41.The two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are each attached to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, for example, through holes are arranged in the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and a threaded hole is arranged in each of the two ends of the rotating shaft 41, the screw runs through the through holes and is screwed into the threaded hole in the end of the rotating shaft 41; or, for example, a threaded bolt is arranged at each of the two ends of the rotating shaft 41, and the threaded bolt runs through the through holes and is then connected with the nut, so that a firm connection of the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 is made with the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12.In the present implementation form, the rotary shaft 41 is fixed relative to the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and the elastic sleeve 42 rotates relative to the rotary shaft 41, and when the disk 2 is inserted or removed, the elastic sleeve 42 rotates relative to the rotary shaft and improves the ease of operation.

[0052] In other possible implementation configurations, the first side plate 11 is provided with a first mounting hole, and the second side plate 12 is provided with a second mounting hole, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are rotatably mounted in the first and second mounting holes, respectively. The elastic sleeve 42 can be attached to the rotating shaft 41; for example, the elastic sleeve 42 is connected to the rotating shaft 41 in an interference fit; the elastic sleeve 42 can also be rotated relative to the rotating shaft 41. The first mounting hole can be a circular hole arranged in the first side plate 11, and the second mounting hole 122 can be a circular hole arranged in the second side plate 12. Guides are provided at both ends of the rotating shaft 41 within the first and second mounting holes 122, respectively, to allow the rotating shaft 41 to rotate relative to the disk housing 10.Alternatively, a pin hole is arranged at both ends of the rotating shaft 41, with one pin being connected through the first mounting hole to the pin hole at one end of the rotating shaft 41, allowing the pin to be rotated relative to the first mounting hole; with another pin being connected through the second mounting hole 122 to the pin hole at the other end of the rotating shaft 41, allowing the pin to be rotated relative to the second mounting hole 122. In the present implementation, the two ends of the rotating shaft 41 are rotatably mounted on the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12, and the ease of operation for inserting and removing the disk 2 into the lower receiving chamber can be improved; and the structure of the elastic shaft 40 is simple and easy to install.

[0053] It should be specified here that if the rotating shaft 41 is installed on the first side plate 11 and the second side plate 12 by means of pins and screws, the outer end faces of the heads of the screws and the pins are flush with the outer side face of the first side plate 11 and the outer surface of the second side plate 12, for example, the outer side face of the first side plate 11 and the outer side face of the second side plate 12 are provided with a groove so that the protruding heads of the screws and pins do not interfere with the installation of other components in the housing.

[0054] As a possible implementation for the rotatable connection of the first side 111 and the flap plate 20, the first side 111 is hinged to the first end of the flap plate 20; for example, the first side 111 and the flap plate 20 are hinged together by a hinge; or, for example, two first shaft sleeves 112 are arranged spaced apart in the X-direction on the first side 111, and two first cardan shafts are arranged spaced apart in the X-direction at the first end of the flap plate 20, with each of the two first cardan shafts arranged within the two first shaft sleeves 112, so that the articulated connection of the first side 111 and the first end of the flap plate 20 is established. Of course, the first cardan shaft can also be arranged on the first side 111, in which case the first shaft sleeve 112 is arranged at the first end of the flap plate 20.

[0055] As a possible implementation for the rotatable connection of the second side 121 and the buckle 30, the second side 121 and the first end of the buckle 30 are articulated, for example, the second side 121 and the buckle 30 are articulated by a hinge; or, for example, two second shaft sleeves 113 are arranged spaced apart in the X-direction on the second side 121, and two second drive shafts are arranged spaced apart in the X-direction on the first end of the buckle 30, and the two second drive shafts are each arranged within the two second shaft sleeves 123, so that the articulated connection of the second side 121 and the first end of the buckle 30 is formed. Of course, the second drive shaft can also be arranged on the second side 121, in which case the second shaft sleeve 123 is arranged at the first end of the buckle 30.

[0056] Of course, in the present application, the rotatable connection between the first side 111 and the flap plate 20 can be the same as, or different from, the connection between the second side 121 and the buckle 30. For example, if the first side 111 and the first end of the flap plate 20 are hinged, the second side 121 and the first end of the buckle 30 can be connected to each other by a hinge to move the buckle 30 relative to the second side 121. Furthermore, if, for example, the second side 121 and the first end of the buckle 30 are hinged, the first side 111 and the first end of the buckle 30 are connected by a hinge.

[0057] In one possible implementation form, the first side 111 and the first end of the flap plate 20 are hinged, and the second side edge 121 and the first end of the buckle 30 are hinged, so that the flap plate 20 and the buckle 30 are rotated relative to each other, while at the same time the structure of the hard disk mounting device is simple and convenient to assemble.

[0058] There are a variety of structures for locking the second end of the buckle 30 and the second end of the flap plate 20, for example, one of the second end of the buckle 30 and the second end of the flap plate 20 is a hook, and the other of the second end of the buckle 30 and the second end of the flap plate 20 is a buckle locked with the hook.

[0059] If the second end of buckle 30 is the hook, then the second end of flap plate 20 is a buckle; if the second end of buckle 30 is a buckle, then the second end of flap plate 20 is a hook. For example, referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, a hook 21 is arranged at the second end of the flap plate 20, and the opening of the hook 21 is directed towards the first end of the flap plate 20; accordingly, the buckle 30 is provided with a locking point 34 and the locking point 34 is a round bar; when the round bar is locked in the hook 21, the second end of the buckle 30 is locked to the second end of the flap plate 20.

[0060] Continuing with reference to Fig. The structure of the buckle 30 is explained in detail below, and the buckle 30 has a structure formed by bending a round bar. The buckle 30 includes a joint section 31, and the joint section 31 is articulated to the second shaft sleeve 123; the joint section 31 is angled away from the disk housing 10 to form a deflection section 32 to deflect the disk 2; the deflection section 32 is angled towards the flap plate 20 and forms a connecting section 33; The connecting section 33 extends towards the fourth side plate 14 of the disk box 10 and forms the locking section 34. With respect to the center of the hook 21 as a symmetrical axis, the right half of the buckle 30 comprises a hinge section 31, a deflection section 32, a connecting section 33 and a hinge section 34, and the left half of the buckle 30 and its right half are symmetrical.

[0061] Furthermore, the first side plate 11 of the hard disk housing 10 extends upwards to form the first side 111. That is to say, with regard to Fig. 7 protrudes from the top of the hard drive 2 beyond the hard drive housing 10. The deflection section 32 and the connecting section 33 of the buckle 30 can also be used to restrict and protect the hard drive 2.

[0062] Further referring to Fig. 3, a diversion opening 22 is arranged on the flap plate 20 to divert the hard disk connection in order to facilitate the installation of the hard disk connection; the person skilled in the art can adjust the number and shape of the diversion openings 22 based on the number of hard disks 2 and the type of hard disk connection.

[0063] Referring to Fig. 7 the left and right sides of the flap plate 20 are located inside the mounting opening, i.e. the top of the hard disk 2 is near the third side plate 13 and near the fourth side plate 14 is exposed to the outside of the hard disk housing 10, so that the heat dissipation performance of the hard disk 2 is advantageously increased.

[0064] Referring to the Fig. 5 to Fig. 8 The present application also provides a hard disk cage comprising the hard disk mounting device described above and at least one hard disk 2, wherein the hard disk 2 is received in the receiving chamber of the hard disk mounting device.
