storage device with ejection mechanism

technical field

The utility model relates to a storage device, in particular to a storage device with an exit mechanism which can be used to place a storage unit, and the user can easily withdraw the storage unit.

Background technique

In recent years, with the advancement of communication networks and the advancement of high-tech industries, computers have become the most powerful assistants for individuals or enterprises. With the powerful computing power of computers and the convenience of transmitting information through the Internet, various Computer products (such as: notebook computers, servers, barebones... etc.) are constantly being developed, and these computer products not only have more and more additional functions, but also become cheaper and cheaper, so they are used by all walks of life Widely used in their living and working environments, this development trend not only accelerates the speed and efficiency of information circulation, but also brings great convenience to people's life and work. Due to the vigorous development of computer-related industries, we have entered the digital age, and various files, pictures, videos, sounds... and other data can be converted into digital signals and circulated to all parts of the world through the Internet. With the change of data type, people have also changed the way of backing up data from paper in the early days to using storage units (such as: hard disks, tapes, etc.) to back up data.

Since the data that the storage unit itself can store has certain limitations, the user must often replace the storage unit to ensure that there is enough storage space to store the data that needs to be stored later. Generally speaking, the storage unit is placed in the computer product There are the following three ways, here only take the storage unit as a hard disk, and the computer product as a personal computer as an example, the description is as follows:

1. A hard disk is directly electrically connected to the transmission connector provided in a personal computer through a row of wires, so that the personal computer can use the storage space of the hard disk, and the user can directly lock the hard disk to the computer with screws. In a personal computer, this is a common method used by ordinary people, but if the user needs to replace the hard disk, the casing of the personal computer must be disassembled first, so that the hard disk can be taken out and replaced, which not only increases the number of users Difficulties in replacement, and repeated plugging and unplugging of the cable may easily lead to breakage of the internal circuit of the cable and increase the wear rate of the cable.

2. A hard disk is installed inside a personal computer using a hard disk external box. The hard disk external box includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell is first installed inside the personal computer and connected to a transmission in the personal computer The connector is electrically connected, the hard disk is placed in the inner casing, and connected with a row of wires in the inner casing, the inner casing can be assembled to the outer casing, so that the personal computer can use the storage space of the hard disk In this way, when the user needs to replace the hard disk, he can directly pull out the inner casing, take out the hard disk in the inner casing, and replace another hard disk. It is necessary to plug and unplug the cable in the inner casing many times, so that the internal circuit of the cable is easily broken, causing the personal computer to be unable to read the hard disk. In addition, if the user replaces the hard disk, the inner casing should be replaced directly. Then the other inner casing to be replaced must be of the same type as the outer casing before they can be assembled with each other, which not only causes troubles in purchasing for the user, but also increases the financial burden of the user.

3. A hard disk is connected to a personal computer by using a hard disk external box, and the hard disk is locked in the hard disk external box by screws. The bus and other transmission lines are electrically connected to the personal computer so that the personal computer can use the storage space of the hard disk, but when the user needs to replace the hard disk, the screw must be removed from the hard disk first, and then After changing to another hard disk, the screw is locked on the other hard disk, so that the other hard disk can be fixed on the external box of the hard disk. During the process of locking and removing the hard disk, the appearance and structure of the hard disk are also easily damaged.

To sum up, it can be seen that when the user replaces the storage unit (i.e. the aforementioned hard disk), the biggest trouble encountered is that when the storage unit is withdrawn from the computer product (i.e. the aforementioned personal computer), it is easy to cause the storage The unit is damaged, or the interconnection structure between the storage unit and the computer product is damaged, and there are too many steps for the user to replace the hard disk. Therefore, how to make it easy for the user to withdraw the storage unit from the computer product for replacement Steps, then become an important issue that designers and computer manufacturers are eager to solve.
