Background technique

With the advancement of science and technology, computers have gradually become an indispensable item in human daily life. The hard disk is one of the hardware components of the computer, mainly used to record and store data, and with the increasing speed and function of the computer , the user must increase the capacity of the hard disk according to the demand. The general expansion method is to add another hard disk, or directly replace the hard disk with a larger capacity. Since the internal structure of the hard disk will shake during operation, it needs to be firmly fixed with the computer case so as not to cause damage to the hard disk.

And the known hard disk is fixed on the computer casing is to use the mode of screw fixing, promptly directly utilizes screw that the hard disk is locked on the computer casing, although the known method of utilizing screws to lock the hard disk can indeed achieve the effect of fixing the hard disk, and Different sets of positioning holes can be made on the computer case to make the fixed position of the hard disk more flexible, but this method requires tools such as a screwdriver to fix the hard disk on the computer case, which will not only increase the difficulty of fixing the hard disk It also reduces the efficiency of disassembling and installing hard disks.

At present, manufacturers of computer casings have developed screwless fixing devices to fix hard disks, please refer to Figure 1(a), which is a schematic diagram of the known structure of using clamping parts to fix hard disks to computer casings, as shown in the figure , the known computer casing 11 is provided with a plurality of clamping pieces 12 on its inner side wall, wherein each clamping piece 12 is arranged side by side and its upper and lower edges each vertically extend a baffle plate 121, so that the two baffle plates 121 An accommodating groove 122 is formed between them, and inside the accommodating groove 122 there is an arc-shaped shrapnel 123. Put it into the accommodation groove 122 and press the elastic piece 123 to deform, so that the hard disk 13 slides into the accommodation groove 122. When the hard disk 13 is completely placed in the accommodation groove 122, it will be clamped by the rebound force of the elastic piece 123. The hard disk 13 and the hard disk 13 are fixed in the accommodating groove 122, so that the hard disk 13 is fixedly arranged in the computer case 11 (as shown in FIG. 1( b )).

Although the computer case 11 shown in Fig. 1(a) utilizes the structure of the clip 12 to fix the hard disk 13 on the computer case 11, but along with the trend of miniaturization of electronic products, in order to reduce the size of the computer The size of the system, so the current hard disk manufacturer has developed a new generation of hard disk 14 (as shown in Figure 1 (c)) with a thickness smaller than the known hard disk 13 but larger storage capacity. For example, the length of the known hard disk 13 is the same as The width remains the same but the thickness of the hard disk 13 is reduced from 25mm to 20mm, which can save accommodating space.

But if the user wants to increase a less hard disk 14 of thickness in the existing computer system, that is to expand in addition the less hard disk 14 of increasing thickness in the computer casing 11 shown in Fig. 1 (b), because The thickness of the hard disk 14 is relatively thin, so when the hard disk 14 is inserted into the accommodation groove 122 by the opening of the clamping member 12, it cannot completely evenly compress the shrapnel 123 to deform, so that the hard disk 13 cannot slide smoothly into the accommodation groove 122, and when the hard disk When 13 is fully placed in the accommodation groove 122, the rebounding force of the shrapnel 123 cannot be evenly transmitted to the hard disk 14, which will cause the hard disk 14 to be fixed obliquely in the holder 12, and it is easy to move when the computer case 11 is moved. The situation that the hard disk 14 slides occurs, and in addition, because there is still a gap 1221 (as shown in Figure 1 (b)) between the hard disk 14 and the upper edge baffle plate 121 of the clamping member 12, the internal structure of the hard disk 14 during operation It will shake and cause hard disk damage.
