Referring to FIG. 1, a preferred embodiment of the data access device fixture 10 of the present invention is used to mount a plurality of data accessors 60. The data accessor fixture 10 includes a frame 20, a plurality of fasteners 30, and a plurality of fasteners 40.

Each of the data accessors 60 includes a front end face 61, a rear end face (not labeled), and two side faces 64 extending perpendicularly from opposite ends of the front end face 61, respectively. An interface 62 is provided on the rear end surface of each of the data accessors 60. Each side 64 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 66.

In the present embodiment, the plurality of fasteners 40 are all large head screws, and each of the fasteners 40 includes a cylindrical head 42. The plurality of fasteners 40 are respectively mounted on the fixing holes 66 of the corresponding data accessor 60, and each of the heads 42 is exposed on the side 64 of the corresponding data accessor 60.

Referring to FIG. 2 , each fixing member 30 includes a guide plate 32 , a plurality of damping plates 34 , and a plurality of sliding rails 36 . The opposite sides of the guide plate 32 are respectively recessed and formed into a plurality of fixing grooves 322 having a substantially U-shape. Each of the fixing grooves 322 extends along the length direction of the guide plate 32, so that the guide plate 32 has a substantially wavy cross-sectional shape. Each shock absorption The plate 34 is provided with a receiving groove 342 along its length such that each of the damping plates 34 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. A bottom surface of each of the damper plates 34 is provided with a plurality of card holes 346 penetrating the receiving groove 342. Each of the damper plates 34 is made of rubber or other shock absorbing material such as plastic. Each rail 36 is made of a conductive material. Each of the slide rails 36 is provided with a sliding groove 362 along its length such that each of the slide rails 36 has a substantially U-shaped cross section. The width of each sliding slot 362 is slightly larger than the diameter of the head 42 of each fastener 40 such that each head 42 is slidably received in the corresponding sliding slot 362. Each of the sliding rails 36 protrudes toward the side of the corresponding sliding slot 362 and protrudes from the plurality of wedge-shaped elastic latching blocks 366 to engage with the engaging holes 346 of the corresponding sliding rails 36 .

When the fixing member 30 is assembled, each of the damping plates 34 is received in the corresponding fixing groove 322 of the guiding plate 32. At this time, each of the damping plates 34 is elastically deformed, and the elastic restoring force forces each of the damping plates 34 to be stuck. The corresponding fixing groove 322 is combined. In other embodiments, each of the damper plates 34 can be fixed to the corresponding fixing groove 322 by a plurality of screws (not shown). Each of the sliding rails 36 is received in the receiving groove 342 of the corresponding damping plate 34. At this time, the locking block 366 of each sliding rail 36 is correspondingly engaged with the locking hole 346 of the corresponding damping plate 34, so that each sliding rail 36 is fixed to the corresponding damping plate 34.

The frame 20 includes a bottom plate 22 and two side plates 24 extending perpendicularly from opposite side edges of the bottom plate 22. A circuit board 26 is vertically mounted on the bottom plate 22 and perpendicular to the two side plates 24. The circuit board 26 is provided with a plurality of interface slots 262 that are connected to the interface 62 of the corresponding data accessor 60. The fixing members 30 are fixed to the bottom plate 22 at intervals and abut against the circuit board 26. Thus, the sliding groove 362 of each fixing member 30 is parallel to the bottom plate 22 of the frame 20. A receiving area 29 for fixing the data accessors 60 is formed between each of the opposite fixing members 30, and the sliding grooves 362 of the opposite fixing members 30 are aligned with each other. The outermost two fixing members 30 respectively abut against the two sides of the frame 20 24, the two fixing members 30 are fixed with a plurality of damping plates 34 and a plurality of sliding rails 36 only on one side facing the receiving area 29.

Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5 together, when the data access device fixing device 10 is used, the head 42 of each fastener 40 is aligned with the sliding groove 362 of the slide rail 36 of each fixing member 30 to push the data. The picker 60 slides from front to back into the corresponding receiving area 29. At this time, each head 42 slides in the corresponding sliding slot 362 until the interface 62 of the data accessor 60 is fixed to the corresponding interface slot 262 of the circuit board 26, so that the data accessor 60 and the The circuit board 26 is electrically connected. The slide rails 36 corresponding to the fixing members 30 are grounded against the side faces 64 of the data accessors 60 to prevent static electricity generated on the surfaces of the data accessors 60 from affecting the corresponding data accessors 60. In other embodiments, a front bezel (not shown) and a top panel (not shown) are fixedly disposed on the frame 20, and the front bezel is resisted by the data accessor 60. The front end surface 61; the top plate resists the top surface of the data accessor 60 to prevent the data accessors 60 from sliding down from the corresponding receiving area 29.

The damper plate 34 of the data accessor fixture 10 of the present invention is made of a shock absorbing material so that the data accessors 60 can be damped.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law.
