Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing hard disk devices face issues with external dust accumulation, wear, and vibration-induced damage, which affect reading rates and service life, particularly due to the lack of effective protection and connection stability between the hard disk interface and connectors.
Innovation Solution
A Hard Disk Device Based on Blockchain incorporates a protective case with an airbag, interface extension board, dust board, and copper bars to prevent dust accumulation, enhance connection stability, and buffer vibrations, featuring a fastening unit and air nozzle system for cleaning and secure mounting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the hard disk interface is directly connected to the connector of the connecting line, then the connection is simple and easy to operate, but the interface wears out quickly due to frequent connection and disconnection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a connecting line with a connector that serves as an intermediary between the hard disk interface and the external connection. The connector is designed to be replaceable while the hard disk interface remains protected inside the protective case. This mediator allows frequent connections and disconnections without wearing out the hard disk interface itself, as the wear occurs on the replaceable connector instead.
2Ease of operation
If the hard disk device is left exposed for easy access, then the operation convenience is improved, but external dust accumulates in the hard drive slot affecting reading rate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the hard disk device into two separate components: the hard disk body stored inside the protective case, and the connecting line with connector that can be externally accessed. The protective case has a storage compartment for the hard disk body and a separate connection area. This segmentation allows the hard disk to remain protected from dust while the connector can be easily accessed for connections without exposing the entire hard disk to the environment.
Solution Approach 2:
The connecting line acts as an intermediary that extends the connection interface outside the protective case. The connector can be plugged and unplugged externally without opening the protective case or exposing the hard disk body to dust. This mediator separates the access function from the storage function, maintaining dust protection while ensuring operational convenience.
3Device complexity
If the hard disk body is directly exposed without protective case, then the device structure is simple, but the hard disk body is vulnerable to destructive force from external vibration
Solution Approach 1:
The patent incorporates a cushioning layer inside the protective case that is positioned to contact the hard disk body. This cushioning material is designed to absorb and dampen external vibrations and shocks before they reach the hard disk body. By providing this protective cushioning in advance, the hard disk is shielded from vibration damage while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
4Reliability
If a protective case is added to protect the hard disk body, then the protection against vibration and dust is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple protective functions into a single integrated protective case structure. The protective case simultaneously provides dust protection through its enclosed design, vibration protection through the integrated cushioning layer, and organizational function through the storage compartment. By merging these functions into one unified structure rather than adding separate components for each function, the overall complexity is minimized while maintaining comprehensive protection.
