Description

Data Storage Device Fixtures

【Technical field】

The present invention mainly relates to a fixing device for a data storage device, in particular to a fixing device for a data storage device which can reduce the number of screws used, is convenient and quick to assemble, and has a stable buckle.

【Background technique】

Generally, the data storage devices used in computers include optical disc drives, hard and floppy disk drives, etc. In the traditional technology, most of the data storage devices are directly locked in the computer casing by screws. However, when this method of fixing the data storage device is assembled, it is necessary to hold the data storage device with one hand and install the screws with a screwdriver with the other hand, which is very inconvenient to assemble.

In order to facilitate the use of operators, the industry has proposed a way to assist the installation of data storage devices with a slide rail structure, mainly by pre-installing slide rails on both sides of the data storage device, and then through the matching structure between the slide rails and the computer case And the data storage device is slid into and fixed on the computer case. Although this method is more convenient than the above-mentioned method of only using screws to lock, the assembly procedure is still quite cumbersome because the slide rails are still locked on both sides of the data storage device by screws. For related technical content, please refer to Taiwan Patent Application Nos. 78201813 and 79209891 and US Patent Nos. 5,332,306 and 5,262,923, etc.

In order to improve the deficiencies of the above-mentioned slide rail fixing method, the industry has proposed a screw-free data storage device fixing device, in which the slide rails are fixed to both sides of the data storage device through integrally formed bolts. However, these pins are generally elongated sheets, and when they are inserted into the pin holes on the side of the data storage device, they are likely to be improperly deformed due to being squeezed by the periphery of the pin hole, or there is an improper gap between the pin hole and the pin hole. , resulting in the inability to tightly engage the pin and the pin hole, resulting in easy shaking during use and affecting the buckling effect. For related technical content, please refer to US Patent No. 5,599,080 and Taiwan Patent Application No. 85210034.

【Content of invention】

The object of the present invention is to provide a data storage device fixing device that can reduce the number of screws used, is convenient and quick to assemble, and is buckled firmly.

The technical solution of the present invention is achieved in the following way: the data storage device fixing device of the present invention is mainly used for assisting the data storage device on the computer base, wherein one side of the data storage device is provided with a pin hole; A hook and a buckle plate are provided, wherein the buckle plate is slightly tilted upward, and its free end is further folded upward to form a buckle portion. The fixing device of the data storage device of the present invention sequentially includes a bearing plate, a side plate and a buckling plate. One end of the bearing plate extends outwards with a slightly upturned locking portion, and a long groove is opened on it, so that the buckle portion on the computer base can be buckled with its corresponding buckle; the bearing plate is also integrally punched with four Alcoves that are slightly depressed downwards and arranged at appropriate intervals and in a manner. Each alcove has a buckle hole that can be buckled correspondingly with the hook on the computer base at the edge facing the locking part; A pair of cantilever buckle pieces are formed near the side edge of the side plate, and a free end of each buckle piece is protruded with a convex point; and the bearing plate is provided with a pair of screw holes near the other side edge of the side plate . The side plate is bent vertically along one side of the load plate, and two ends of the side plate are respectively provided with inwardly folded protruding pin pieces, which can be correspondingly snapped into the pin holes on the side of the data storage device. The crimping plate is bent vertically along the side of the side plate and parallel to the bearing plate. Its extension length is much smaller than the width of the bearing plate. Four elastic pieces slightly extending towards the bearing plate are arranged side by side at equal intervals.

Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the present invention has the advantages of less number of screws, simple structure, convenient assembly, stable buckling and the like.
