Description

A computer case that can hold a hard disk drive

technical field

The invention relates to a computer casing, in particular to a computer casing capable of fixing a hard disk device.

Background technique

In recent years, with the advancement of semiconductor manufacturing technology, computers have become an indispensable part of modern people's daily life. With the increasingly diversified development of computer applications, the assembly and fixing technology of storage devices used in various computer equipment, such as hard disks, has also become one of the key concerns of the industry and consumers.

In the known technology, the fixing structure of the hard disk only uses a plurality of screws to lock the storage device on the hard disk device slot (HDD cage), so that it is fixed in a computer case. However, such a structure will make the user quite inconvenient when assembling the computer. For example, the user may need certain tools such as a screwdriver to assemble the computer, and if the user uses tools during assembly, the tool will easily touch the circuit of the computer by mistake and cause damage or short circuit. In addition, the use of the hard disk drive slot also costs a certain amount of money, which is a non-negligible cost for the manufacturer.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, the present invention mainly provides a computer casing capable of fixing a hard disk device.

The invention discloses a computer casing which can fix a hard disk. The hard disk has at least one protrusion. The computer casing includes a recessed portion, at least one guide groove and at least one elastic hook. The concave part is used for accommodating the hard disk. At least one guide groove is formed on the sidewall of the recess, and the opening of the guide groove is located at the edge of the recess for the protruding part to enter the guide groove through the opening. The elastic hooks are arranged on the sidewall of the recess corresponding to the guide grooves, and at least a part of the elastic hooks are located in the guide grooves. Wherein, when fixing the hard disk, the protruding part enters the guide groove from the opening and slides and presses against the part of the elastic hook located in the guide groove. fixed on the computer case.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the protruding part is a screw locked on the side of the hard disk.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the concave part forms a rectangular groove, and the bottom surface of the rectangular groove is a slope.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide groove is an L-shaped guide groove. Moreover, at least a part of the elastic hooks can be located at the turning point of the L-shaped guide groove.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the concave part is integrally formed on the computer casing.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the computer case is an injection-molded plastic part. Moreover, the computer casing can be used for an All-in-One computer.

The present invention can quickly fix or unfix the hard disk device without any tools, so the time spent on assembly and maintenance can be reduced. In addition, the present invention directly utilizes the engaging mechanism integrally formed with the computer casing as the fixing mechanism of the hard disk device, thereby reducing the usage of the hard disk device slot and saving the production cost of the computer.

FIG. 3 illustrates a schematic diagram of an elastic hook according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Detailed ways

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of a computer housing 10 of the present invention. The computer casing 10 can be used to fix a hard disk 11, which has protrusions F1-F4. The computer casing 10 includes a recessed portion 12 , guide grooves S1 - S4 , and elastic hooks H1 - H4 (H3 and H4 are not shown in FIG. 1 ). The concave portion 12 is used for accommodating the hard disk 11 . According to the shape of the hard disk, the concave portion 12 can form a rectangular groove, and the bottom surface of the rectangular groove is an inclined surface that is easy to slide. The guiding grooves S1 - S4 are formed on the sidewall of the recessed portion 12 and correspond to the protruding portions F1 - F4 of the hard disk 11 . In the embodiment of the present invention, the protrusion holes-F4 are screws locked on the side of the hard disk.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 . FIG. 2 illustrates a schematic diagram of fixing the hard disk 11 to the computer casing 10 . As shown in FIG. 1 , the guiding grooves S1 - S4 are L-shaped guiding grooves, but not limited thereto. In addition, each guide groove has an opening, and the opening is located at the edge of the recessed portion 12 for the corresponding protrusion to enter into the guide groove through the corresponding opening. The elastic hooks H1 - H4 are respectively disposed on the sidewall of the recessed portion 12 corresponding to each guide groove, and at least a part of each elastic hook is located at a turning point of the L-shaped guide groove. When the hard disk 11 is to be fixed, the protrusions F1-F4 respectively enter the guide groove from the openings of the corresponding guide groove and slide along the guide groove, and then press against at least a part of the elastic hooks in the guide groove to reach the fixing position in the corresponding guide groove. The position, as shown in FIG. 1 , is at the position P1 in the guide trench S1 or at the position P2 in the guide trench S2. In this case, the elastic hook will rebound to fix the corresponding protruding part, as shown in FIG. 2 , so that the hard disk 11 can be fixed to the recessed part 12 of the computer casing 10 .

Therefore, the present invention utilizes the recessed portion 12 integrally formed with the computer housing 10 and the guide grooves S1-S4 together with the elastic hooks H1-H4 as the fixing mechanism of the hard disk device, so as to reduce the use of fixing parts for fixing the hard disk, such as hard disk device slots. , which can save production cost.

For example, please refer to FIG. 3 , which illustrates a schematic diagram of an elastic hook according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Figure 3, part of the elastic hook HX is located in the guide groove SX, that is to say, when the protrusion FX enters the guide groove SX through the opening of the guide groove SX and continues to slide, it will press against the guide groove SX. Elastic hook HX in SX. In this case, the protruding portion FX can continue to be driven to slide and resist the elastic force of the elastic hook HX, and then push away the elastic hook HX to reach the fixed position PX. When the protruding part FX reaches the fixed position PX, the elastic hook HX will rebound to limit the protruding part FX to the fixed position PX, so as to fix the protruding part FX, and then fix the hard disk 11 firmly on the computer case 10 . Of course, if the hard disk 11 is to be moved away from the computer case 10, the user can properly apply force to push the protruding part FX away from the elastic hook HX so as to leave the guide groove SX smoothly. In this way, regardless of the assembly or disassembly of the hard disk, no tools are required, which greatly improves the convenience of use.

It should be noted that the computer casing 10 of the present invention can be used for an integrated computer, and of course it can also be used for other types of computers, such as notebook computers, and is not limited thereto. In addition, the protruding part, the guide groove and the elastic hook are not limited to the implementation methods described in the embodiments of the present invention, and any mechanism for directly fixing the hard disk device on the computer casing falls within the scope of the present invention. In addition, the elastic hooks can be arranged in all the guide grooves on the computer case 10 , or only selected in some guide grooves on the computer case, without violating the spirit of the present invention.

To sum up, the present invention discloses a fixing structure for fixing the hard disk device on the computer casing, which can quickly fix or unfix the hard disk device without any tools, thus reducing the time required for assembly and maintenance. In addition, the present invention directly utilizes the engaging mechanism integrally formed with the computer casing as the fixing mechanism of the hard disk device, thereby reducing the usage of the hard disk device slot and saving the production cost of the computer.

The above descriptions are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the claims of the present invention shall fall within the scope of the present invention.
