Patent Application
20160124472
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201410611422.2 filed on Nov. 4, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to fixing devices with fixing assemblies.
Electronic devices, such as microprocessor based computer systems, typically include fixing devices for fixing one or more storage devices to the computer system. The storage devices extend the capabilities of computer systems by providing dedicated hardware to achieve a variety of tasks.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising,” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series and the like.
The present disclosure is described in relation to a fixing assembly.
The storage device 10 defines a fixing hole 12. The shell of the storage device 10 can be made of metal.
The shielding frame 20 includes a frame 22, at least one first spring clip 24, a plurality of second spring clips 26, and two fixing pieces 28. In at least one embodiment, the frame 22 is substantially rectangular. The at least one first spring clip 24, the plurality of second spring clips 26, and the two fixing pieces 28 extend from the frame 22. The plurality of second spring clips 26 are located on two opposite sides of the frame 22 and align in two opposite rows. The plurality of second spring clips 26 are evenly spaced from each other. The at least one first spring clip 24 is located between the two rows of the second spring clips 26. The two fixing pieces 28 are located on two ends of the frame 22. Each fixing piece 28 includes a protruding portion 282. The shielding frame 20 can be made of electronically conducting material. In at least one embodiment, the shielding frame 20 is made of metal. The shielding frame 20 is substantially rectangular.
The bracket 30 includes two side plates 32, a front plate 34, and a bottom plate 36. The two side plates 32, the front plate 34, and the bottom plate 36 cooperatively define a receiving space 38. The two side plate 32 and the front plate 34 are substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate 36. The two side plates 32 are substantially perpendicular to the front plate 34. Each side plate 32 includes a main portion 320, a plurality of stopper pieces 322, and a positioning block 324. The positioning block 324 includes a positioning post 3240. In at least one embodiment, the positioning post 3240 is substantially cylindrical. The positioning block 324 and the plurality of stopper pieces 322 extend from the main portion 320. The plurality of stopper pieces 322 is substantially parallel to the bottom plate 36. An end of the main portion 320 includes an inclined edge 3202. The inclined edge 3202 is defined near to the plurality of stopper pieces 322. The main portion 320 defines an accommodating hole 3204 and an assembly hole 3206. The accommodating hole 3204 is defined in one side of the positioning block 324. The assembly hole 3206 is defined on one side of the inclined edge 3202. The positioning block 324 is elastically rotatable. The front plate 34 defines an opening 340. The opening 340 communicates with the receiving space 38.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a fixing assembly. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
