The subject matter herein generally relates to a field of data storage installation, and in particular to a fixing device for data storages and a host having the fixing device.
Data storages (such as Solid State Drive) have different specifications, and different specifications of data storages may have different sizes. Therefore, the storage shelf for fixing the data storages cannot accommodate the data storages with different sizes at the same time.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of embodiments, 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.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
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.

In at least one embodiment, a side of the second wall 12 facing the first wall 11 is provided with a plurality of second protrusions 121 arranged at intervals in the second direction Y Each of the plurality of second protrusions 121 extends in the third direction Z. Any two adjacent second protrusions 121 of the plurality of second protrusions 121 defines a second recess 121a. Each first recess 111a corresponds to one second recess 121a. The first recess 111a and the corresponding second recess 121a are used to receive opposite end portions of the mounting bracket 20. The mounting bracket 20 can slide along the third direction Z in the first recess 111a and the corresponding second recess 121a, which further facilitates taking out and installing the mounting bracket 20. In at least one embodiment, in the second direction Y, a width of the first recess 111a and a width of the corresponding second recess 121a may be the same. In at least one embodiment, in the second direction Y, a sum of the width of the first recess 111a and widths of two adjacent first protrusions 111 defining the first recess 111a may be greater than a width of the mounting bracket 20. In at least one embodiment, in the second direction Y, the width of the first recess 111a may be greater than the width of the mounting bracket 20.
In at least one embodiment, a plurality of first holes 112 arranged at intervals in the second direction Y is recessed inwardly from a surface of the first wall 11 facing the second wall 12. Each of the plurality of first holes 112 may extend through the first wall 11 in the first direction X. In at least one embodiment, the plurality of first holes 112 may be arranged close to an edge of the first wall 11 in the third direction Z. Each of the plurality of first holes 112 is used to cooperate with the mounting bracket 20 to limit the mounting bracket 20 in the first recess 111a and the second recess 121a.

In at least one embodiment, the main body 21 may include a connecting portion 211, a first supporting portion 212, and a second supporting portion 213. The first supporting portion 212 and the second supporting portion 213 are arranged at intervals in the first direction X. The first supporting portion 212 and the second supporting portion 213 are connected by the connecting portion 211, and a mounting space 21a is defined by the connecting portion 211, the first supporting portion 212, and the second supporting portion 213 for receiving the data storage 200. In at least one embodiment, the first supporting portion 212 is slidably received in the first recess 111a, the second supporting portion 213 is slidably received in the second recess 121a, so that the data storage 200 can be driven to be received in the receiving space 10a or moved out of the receiving space 10a.
In at least one embodiment, the fixing member 22 includes a first portion 221, a second portion 222 and a third portion 223 connected in sequence. The second portion 222 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 211 and the fixing member 22 is located on a side of the connecting portion 211 away from the mounting space 21a. The third portion 223 is the end portion of the fixing member 22, and the third portion 223 protrudes from the first supporting portion 212 in a direction away from the second supporting portion 213 for cooperating with the first hole 112. When an end of the first portion 221 away from the second portion 222 is moved close to the connecting portion 211, the fixing member 22 rotates around the second portion 222, so that a height of the third portion 223 protruding from the first supporting portion 212 in the third direction Z is increased, which facilitate inserting the third portion 223 into the first hole 112 to fix the main body 21 and the storage shelf 10. When the end of the first portion 221 away from the second portion 222 is moved away from the connecting portion 211, the fixing member 22 rotates around the second portion 222, so that a height of the third portion 223 protruding from the first supporting portion 212 in the third direction Z is reduced, so that the third portion 223 can be easily disengaged from the first hole 112, thereby facilitating the removal of the main body 21 from the storage shelf 10.
In at least one embodiment, a receiving groove 211a for receiving the first portion 221 and the second portion 222 is recessed inwardly from a surface of the connecting portion 211 facing away from the mounting space 21a.

In at least one embodiment, a plurality of second holes 32 arranged at intervals in the second direction Y is defined by the separator plate 30. Each of the plurality of second holes 32 extends through the separator plate 30 in the first direction X. In at least one embodiment, the plurality of second holes 32 is arranged close to an edge of the separator plate 30 in the third direction Z. Each of the plurality of second holes 32 is used to cooperate with the third portion 223 to fix the mounting bracket 20 in the third recess 31a and the corresponding second recess 121a.
In at least one embodiment, a surface of the separator plate 30 facing the first wall 11 is provided with a plurality of extending portions 33 for connecting the first wall 11. A fastener extends through the first wall 11 and connects one of the plurality of extending portions 33 to detachably fix the separator plate 30 to the first wall 11. The fastener may be a screw. In at least one embodiment, the separator plate 30 may be detachably fixed on the first wall 11 by means of bonding or buckling.
In at least one embodiment, the edge of the separator plate 30 in the third direction Z close to the plurality of second holes 32 is provided with a bent portion 34. The bent portion 34 is connected to the surface of the separator plate 30 facing the first wall 11. The bent portion 34 may include a first part 341 and a second part 342. The first part 341 extends along the first direction X from a surface the separator plate 30 facing the first wall 11. The second part 342 extends along the third direction Z from an end of the first part 341 away from the surface the separator plate 30 facing the first wall 11. In at least one embodiment, the second part 342 may cover the plurality of second holes 112.
When the above-mentioned fixing device 100 is in use, by installing the separator plate 30 on the storage shelf 10 and dismounting the separator plate 30 from the storage shelf 10, the mounting brackets 20 of different sizes can be fixed in the storage rack 10, so that the same storage rack 10 can be used for fixing data storages of different sizes.
