The subject matter herein generally relates to a mounting system for a hard disk drive and an electronic device with the mounting system.
An electronic device with a hard disk drive generally includes a mounting system for the hard disk drive. The mounting system generally includes a case configured for receiving the hard disk drive.
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 word that substantially 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 hard disk drive 100 can include a bottom wall 101 and two sidewalls 102. The bottom wall 101 defines a plurality of positioning holes 1011. Two mounting posts 1021 extend outwards from each sidewall 102. In at least one embodiment, the mounting posts 1021 can be fasteners secured to the sidewalls 102.
The mounting system 200 can include a case 10 configured for securing the hard disk drive 100, holding plate 20, and at least one resilient member 30.
The case 10 can include a bottom plate 11 and two side plates 13 extending from opposite edges of the bottom plate 11. A blocking plate 15 extends outwards from a top edge of each side plate 13.
The latching portion 135 is substantially inverted “V” shaped and includes a slant plane 1351. The slant plane 1351 is configured to guide the mounting post 1021 to slide into the latching portion 135.
The first sliding slot 137 can include a guide-in plane 1371. An obtuse angle is defined between the guide-in plane 1371 and an extending direction of the slide-in slot 131. The second sliding slot 138 can include a first guide-out plane 1381 and a second guide-out plane 1382. In at least one embodiment, the first guide-out plane 1381 is substantially parallel to the guide-in plane 1371, and the second guide-out plane 1382 is a sidewall of the second sliding slot 138.
Each side plate 13 further defines two receiving portions 139 extending through the side plate 13. In at least one embodiment, each receiving portion 139 is trapezoidal. A mounting piece 155 is located on the blocking plate 15 to secure the resilient member 30. The blocking plate 15 defines two openings 157 located on opposite sides of the mounting piece 155.
The holding plate 20 can include a plate body 21, two mounting blocks 211 extending outwards from opposite side edges of the plate body 21, and a plurality of positioning posts 213 extending upwards from a top surface of the plate body 21. In at least one embodiment, each mounting post 211 is substantially I-shaped.
The resilient member 30 can include a resilient portion 31, a first ear portion 32, and a second ear portion 33. In at least one embodiment, the resilient member 30 is an extension spring.
The embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a mounting system for hard disk drive. 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 details, including 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.
