Description

Shock-absorbing structure of storage device

technical field

The invention relates to a shock absorbing structure, in particular to a shock absorbing structure of a storage device.

Background technique

Conforming to the trend of the times, the design of technological products has also changed in line with the changes of the times. For example, the design concept of electronic products today is to reduce the size of electronic products for the convenience of carrying around. For example, desktop computers have evolved into Today's notebook computers, this is the best proof of the miniaturization of electronic products that are easy to carry around.

Taking notebook computers as an example, most notebook computers today have a storage device, such as a hard disk. However, a hard disk has a read-write head and a disk close to a small distance to read or write data. If the storage device is subjected to external vibration during operation, the read-write head will directly contact the disk, causing the disk Or damage to the read/write head. Although today's hard disks all have anti-vibration protection functions, the protection effect is limited. Therefore, when a notebook computer is equipped with a hard disk, a buffer element is installed at the bottom of the storage device to reduce the impact energy of the storage device caused by external force, so that the read-write head or the disk can be avoided from being damaged. However, the method of arranging the buffer element at the bottom of the storage device can only absorb the impact energy in the vertical direction, but cannot absorb the energy in the horizontal direction, so the shock absorption effect is limited. Moreover, the existing storage devices are all arranged in a larger accommodating groove, so that the storage device can be arranged in the accommodating groove relatively easily, but when the storage device is subjected to the impact energy of an external force, the storage device is placed in the storage device. Arbitrary movement of the distance in the accommodating tank causes a secondary impact on the storage device, which further increases the probability of damage to the storage device.

Furthermore, since the buffer element is disposed at the bottom of the storage device, the storage device cannot effectively dissipate heat, which will affect the service life of the storage device. Therefore, the existing technical means cannot effectively protect the storage device, and cannot prolong the service life of the storage device.

Therefore, the present invention provides a shock absorbing structure of a storage device, which can not only reduce the vertical vibration energy of the storage device, but also absorb the vertical vibration energy of the storage device, and increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage device, so as to solve the above-mentioned problem question.

Detailed ways

In order to make your examiner have a further understanding and understanding of the structural features and the achieved effects of the present invention, I would like to provide a preferred embodiment and a detailed description, as follows:

Please refer to FIG. 1A , FIG. 1B and FIG. 2 , which are respectively a perspective view, a top view and a perspective view of a storage device of a shock absorbing structure in a preferred embodiment of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the shock absorbing structure of the storage device of the present invention includes a frame 1 for fixing a storage device 30, the frame 1 includes a first arm 10 and a second arm 20, the first arm 10 and the second support arm 20 are located on both sides of the storage device 30 for fixing the storage device 30, the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 are respectively provided with at least one first through-slot 11 and at least one second through-slot 21. One end of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are respectively extended with a first turning part 12 and a second turning part 22, and the first turning part 12 is connected with the second turning part 22; a plurality of first The buffer member 40 is disposed on the first through slot 11 and the second through slot 21 .

The component 40 absorbs the vibration energy that the storage device 30 is subjected to, so as to prolong the service life of the storage device 30 . The arrangement of the first cushioning member 40 and the frame 1 can be formed by injection molding to form the frame 1 first, and then the first buffering member 40 can be arranged in the first through-slot 11 and the second through-slot by using the same method of forming. twenty one.

When the storage device 30 is fixed on the frame 1 and subjected to a relatively large impact energy, the upper and lower sides of the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 may be broken, although the first buffer member 40 is located on the In the first slot 11 and the second slot 21, the occurrence of breakage can be reduced, but since the first buffer member 40 is compressible, when the frame 1 is subjected to a large impact energy, the compression of the first buffer member 40 If the amount is large, that is, the compression amount of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 located at the first slot 11 and the second slot 21 will increase, so there will still be a fracture. Therefore, in the present invention, a first reinforcing member 112 is extended on the side wall of the first through groove 11, and a second reinforcing member 212 is extended on the side wall of the second through groove 21, so that the compression amount of the first buffer member 40 is Between the upper and lower sides of the first through groove 11 and the first reinforcing member 112, or between the upper and lower sides of the second through groove 21 and the second reinforcing member 212, the compression amount is much smaller than the original compression amount, Therefore, the arrangement of the reinforcement can prevent the first arm 10 or the second arm 20 from breaking in the vertical direction due to external force. Moreover, setting the first reinforcing member 112 in the first through groove 11 and the second reinforcing member 212 in the second through groove 21 can further make the storage device 30 receive a force in the horizontal direction, through the first reinforcing member. 112 and the second reinforcing member 212 transmit impact energy to the first buffer member 40 to absorb the impact energy in the horizontal direction.

The first arm 10 and the second arm 20 are respectively provided with at least one protrusion 50 , and are respectively inserted into a plurality of fixing holes 35 on both sides of the storage device 30 to fix the storage device 30 . The protrusions 50 can be threaded through the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 respectively, and threaded into the fixing hole 35 of the storage device 30 . Alternatively, the protrusions 50 can also be directly arranged inside the first reinforcing piece 112 and the second reinforcing piece 212, and injection molding can be used to make the first reinforcing piece 112 and the second reinforcing piece 212 are integrally formed with the protruding posts 50 respectively, or the protruding posts 50 can be disposed inside the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 , and can also be integrally formed. The end surfaces of the first protruding posts 50 and the second protruding posts 50 can be in any geometric shape, and the end surfaces of the protruding posts 50 in this embodiment are cross-shaped. When the present invention is installed on the storage device 30, it is only necessary to slightly pull the first arm 10 or the second support arm 20, so that the first protrusion 50 and the second protrusion 50 are inserted into the fixing hole 35 of the storage device 30, There is no need to additionally screw the storage device 30 with screws, so that the shock-absorbing structure can be installed or disassembled on the storage device 30 quickly and conveniently.

In addition, since the first reinforcing piece 112 and the second reinforcing piece 212 are like a cantilever, the protrusions 50 are provided on the first reinforcing piece 112 and the second reinforcing piece 212, and the fixed storage device 30 makes the present invention like a cantilever. The suspension system suspends the storage device 30 in the air, so that the storage device 30 can absorb horizontal and vertical impact energy, and can prevent the storage device 30 from being damaged due to shaking during operation.

In addition, the present invention connects a second buffer member 45 between the first turning portion 12 and the second turning portion 22, the material of the second buffering member 45 can also be rubber, and the second buffering member 45 is against the storage device 30, so Not only can it reduce the impact energy received by the storage device 30, but it can also provide users with easy installation of the storage device 30 to the frame 1. Because of the elasticity of the second buffer member 45, the user can pull the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 10. The support arm 20 moves the first turning part 12 and the second turning part 22 to the outside, so that the protrusions 50 of the first supporting arm 10 and the second supporting arm 20 are easily inserted into the fixing hole 35 to lift the storage device 30 set up efficiency. Moreover, the frame 1 of the present invention can further be provided with a support member, and the two ends of the support member are respectively connected to the other end of the first support arm 10 and the other end of the second support arm 20, and are connected to the first turning portion 12 and the second support arm 20. The two turning portions 22 are opposite to each other. In addition to improving the structural strength of the frame 1 , the storage device 30 can be supported by the supporting member.

Please refer to FIG. 3A to FIG. 3C , FIG. 3D and FIG. 3E , which are respectively a schematic view of the assembly operation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a partial cross-sectional view along the A-A direction of FIG. 3C and a partial enlarged top view of FIG. 3C . As shown in the figure, in order to make the present invention install the storage device 30 and when it is intended to be installed in an accommodating groove 65 of a portable device 60, it can be installed in the accommodating groove 60 more smoothly, so the present invention A plurality of upward protrusions 72 are disposed on upper edges of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 and a plurality of lower protrusions 74 are disposed on the lower edges of the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 . In this way, when the present invention is intended to be installed in the accommodating groove 65, the storage device 30 is placed into the accommodating groove 65 at an angle, and then the storage device 30 is pushed into the accommodating groove 65 to make the storage device 30 It is electrically connected with the portable device 60 and covered with a cover plate of the accommodating slot 65 . Therefore, when the top or bottom of the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 are in contact with the upper wall or the lower wall of the accommodating groove 65, as shown in FIG. 74 is in contact with the side wall of the accommodating groove 65, so that the contact area between the first arm 10 and the second arm 20 and the side wall of the accommodating groove 65 is reduced, and the relative friction force is also reduced, so it can be smoother.

In order to prevent the storage device 30 from shaking after being installed in the accommodating groove 65 and avoid secondary impact, the present invention can install the storage device 30 in the accommodating groove 65 without additional spacing by using an interference fit. Due to the elasticity of the frame 1 of the present invention, reduced assembly tolerances can be absorbed. The present invention can be installed in the accommodating groove 65 through interference fit, so that the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 can be fixed in the accommodating groove 65, so the upper convex piece 72, the lower convex piece 74 and the side The protruding piece 76 will be against the surrounding side walls of the accommodating groove 65, so that the frame 1 is indeed installed in the accommodating groove 65, and since the left and right side walls of the accommodating groove 65 will apply force to the side protruding piece 76 relatively, so it can The protrusion 50 used for fixing the storage device 30 is prevented from deviating from the fixing hole 35 , so that the storage device 30 is securely fixed.

In addition, when the present invention receives an impact force, since the upper convex piece 72, the lower convex piece 74 and the side convex piece 76 are against the surrounding side walls of the accommodating groove 65, the upper convex piece 72 will be pressed downward and compressed to The first cushioning piece 40, the lower convex piece 74 will be pressed upwards to compress the first cushioning piece 40, and the side convex piece 76 will also push the first cushioning piece 40 inward to absorb the impact energy, so that it can absorb the surrounding impact energy, and effectively prevent the storage device 30 from being impacted. In addition, because the present invention is an interference fit, a secondary impact can be avoided when the storage device 30 is impacted, so that the service life of the storage device 30 can be effectively improved.

In addition, the size of the upper convex piece 72, the lower convex piece 74 and the side convex piece 76 can be determined according to the position of the heat source generated by the storage device 30. The size of the upper protrusion 72 can be larger, so that the gap between the bottom of the storage device 30 and the lower side wall of the accommodating groove 65 is larger, so as to increase the heat dissipation efficiency of the storage device 30 . The opposite is true.

Please also refer to FIG. 4 , which is a perspective view of another preferred embodiment of the shock absorbing structure of the present invention. At this time, the embodiment is different from the previous embodiment in that the shock absorbing structure of the previous embodiment is in the form of a frame 1 In this embodiment, only the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 are arranged on both sides of the storage device 30, and the storage device 30 equipped with the first support arm 10 and the second support arm 20 is located on The vibration energy of the storage device 30 can also be reduced in the accommodating groove 65 . Other structures are the same as the previous embodiment.
