Detailed ways

The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention through specific examples, and those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification.

Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , which are the three-dimensional exploded view and the exploded view of the frame mechanism of the digital data storage device of the present invention.

As shown in Figure 2, a plurality of digital data storage devices 22 are installed in a frame body 21, wherein the digital data storage device 22 includes a housing box, and a disk drive (in the figure) is installed in the housing box Not shown), the disk drive is one of a hard disk drive, a floppy disk drive and an optical drive.

As shown in Figure 3, the frame body 21 is composed of a main frame 21a and a side panel frame 21b. An open end 210a is formed, and the side plate frame 21b is disposed in the open end 210a, and the side plate of the side plate frame 21b is parallel to the vertical plate 21a2.

Please refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 at the same time, the frame body 21 has an accommodating space 210, and there are side plates 211 on both sides of the accommodating space 210, wherein, the side plates 211 on both sides of the accommodating space 210 are respectively the The vertical plate 21a2 and the side plate frame 21b have a plurality of left and right relative guides 212 on the two side plates 211, and the guides 212 form the first openings 212a and the second ones arranged in front and rear on each of the side plates 211. The opening 212b forms inner flanges 212c, 212c' at the edges of the first opening 212a and the second opening 212b, and a front arc 212d is formed at the front end of the first opening 212a, and a front arc 212d is formed at the front end of the first opening 212a. The rear end of the hole 212b forms a rear arc 212e. The arc diameter of the rear arc 212e is larger than the arc diameter of the front arc 212d, so that the width of the rear end of the guide portion 212 is greater than that of the front end.

Both sides of the digital data storage device 22 are respectively provided with a guide rail 23, and the guide rail 23 corresponds to the guide part 212, and the upper and lower sides of the guide rail 23 respectively have an upper flange 231 and a lower flange 232, wherein the upper flange The front end of the edge 231 forms a downward front pressure portion 231a, and an upward rear pressure portion 231b is formed at the rear end of the upper flange 231, so that the width between the upper flange 231 and the lower flange 232 is greater than that of the rear end. front end; the width between the upper flange 231 and the lower flange 232 at the front end of the guide rail 23 on both sides of the digital data storage device 22 is different from the width between the upper flange 231 and the lower flange 232 at the rear end, specifically refers to The width between the upper flange 231 and the lower flange 232 at the rear end of the guide rail 23 is greater than the width between the upper flange 231 and the lower flange 232 at the front end of the guide rail 23 .

Because the rear pressure portion 231b of the upper flange 231 rear end of the guide rail 23 is upward, the width of the rear end of the guide rail 23 is relatively large, while the front arc 212d of the front end of the first opening 212a of the guide part 212 is relatively small, so that the guide rail 23 has a relatively large width. When the digital data storage device 22 is pushed into the accommodating space 210 of the frame body 21, the guide rail 23 can smoothly slide into the smaller front arc 212d of the front end; Behind the accommodating space 210, the front pressing part 231a of the front end of the upper flange 231 of the guide rail 23 presses against the front arc 212d of the first opening 212a of the guide part 212, and the rear end of the upper flange 231 of the guide rail 23 The rear pressing part 231b presses against the rear arc 212e of the second opening 212b, thereby completely eliminating the upper and lower gap between the guide rail 23 and the guide part 212, so that the digital data storage device 22 can be stably installed on the rack In the accommodating space 210 of the body 21; and can reduce manufacturing difficulty, so as to reduce manufacturing cost. In addition, an elastic pressure plate 24 is provided between the first opening 212a and the second opening 212b of the guide portion 212 on one side of the frame body 21, and the two ends of the elastic pressure plate 24 are located at the first opening 212a and the second opening respectively. Two openings 212b, so that the two ends of the elastic pressure plate 24 respectively press against the digital data storage device 22, to eliminate the left and right gap between the guide rail 23 and the guide part 212, so that the digital data storage device 22 can be installed more stably. It is arranged in the accommodating space 210 of the frame body 21 , thereby reducing manufacturing difficulty and reducing manufacturing cost.

Moreover, the widths of the guides 212 on both sides of the digital data storage device 22 are different, so that the digital data storage device 22 can be prevented from being inserted into the accommodating space 210 of the frame body 21 by mistake, so as to achieve a fool-proof effect and avoid the The digital data storage device 22 is wrongly inserted into the frame body 21 in the wrong direction, resulting in damage.

In the frame mechanism of the digital data storage device of the present invention, the width of the rear end of the guide part of the two side plates of the frame body is larger than the front end, and the width between the upper flange and the lower flange of the guide rail is that the rear end is larger than the front end, The guide rail can smoothly slide into the guide part, and after the guide rail slides into the guide part, the front pressing part of the front end of the guide rail presses against the front arc of the first opening, and the rear end of the guide rail presses against the front arc of the first opening. The part is pressed against the rear arc of the second opening, and the elastic pressure plate is provided between the first opening and the second opening of the guide part on the side of the frame to press against the guide rail, so as to Completely eliminate the upper and lower side and left and right side gaps between the guide rail and the guide part, so that the digital data storage device can be stably installed in the accommodation space of the frame body, thereby reducing manufacturing difficulty and reducing manufacturing cost; and It is necessary to avoid that the widths of the guide rails on both sides of the digital data storage device are not the same, thereby preventing the digital data storage device from being reversely inserted into the frame by mistake.
