如第1圖以及第2圖所示，硬碟容置機構12包含一托盤16、一前框架18、一拉柄20、一扭簧結構22，以及一可撓性夾持臂24。前框架18具有一框體26以及一側臂28，框體26係連接於托盤16之一前端f，且側臂28係連接於框體26之一第一端P ₁且設置於托盤16之一第一側S ₁，藉此，側臂28係可與框體26以及托盤16共同形成一容置空間30以用來容置硬碟14。拉柄20具有一樞軸端部32以及一勾扣端部34，樞軸端部32係樞接於框體26之一第二端P ₂以使拉柄20可相對於框體26偏轉，且勾扣端部34係可於拉柄20偏轉至容置於框體26上時可釋鎖地扣合於框體26，在此實施例中，勾扣端部34與框體26之間的扣合固定設計係可較佳地採用常見應用在硬碟抽取盒上之按鈕釋鎖設計（但不受此限），舉例來說，由第1圖可知，框體26對應勾扣端部34之位置可配置有一按鈕釋鎖機構27（其針對按鈕釋鎖設計之相關描述係常見於先前技術中，於此不再贅述），藉此，當拉柄20偏轉至容置於框體26上時，勾扣端部34係可釋鎖地扣合於按鈕釋鎖機構27以將拉柄20固定在框體26上，另一方面，當按鈕釋鎖機構27被按壓時，按鈕釋鎖機構27與勾扣端部34之間的扣合固定係可相對應地被釋放，使得拉柄20可利用扭簧結構22所提供的回復彈力而相對於框體26向外偏轉彈出，以便使用者可握持拉柄20進行後續的硬碟抽取操作。 As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the hard disk storage mechanism 12 includes a tray 16, a front frame 18, a handle 20, a torsion spring structure 22, and a flexible clamping arm 24. The front frame 18 has a frame body 26 and a side arm 28. The frame body 26 is connected to a front end f of the tray 16, and the side arm 28 is connected to a first end P _{1 of the} frame body 26 and is disposed on the tray 16 A first side S ₁ , whereby the side arm 28 can form an accommodating space 30 together with the frame 26 and the tray 16 for accommodating the hard disk 14. The handle 20 has a pivot end 32 and a hook end 34. The pivot end 32 is pivotally connected to a second end P _{2 of the} frame 26 so that the handle 20 can be deflected relative to the frame 26. And the hook end 34 can be releasably fastened to the frame 26 when the handle 20 is deflected to be accommodated in the frame 26. In this embodiment, the hook end 34 and the frame 26 The buckle and fixation design of is better to use the button release design commonly used on the hard disk extraction box (but not limited to this). For example, as shown in Figure 1, the frame 26 corresponds to the hook end The position of 34 can be equipped with a button release mechanism 27 (the related description of the button release design is common in the prior art, and will not be repeated here), so that when the handle 20 is deflected to be accommodated in the frame 26 When up, the hook end 34 is releasably fastened to the button release mechanism 27 to fix the handle 20 to the frame 26. On the other hand, when the button release mechanism 27 is pressed, the button releases The buckle fixing system between the mechanism 27 and the hook end 34 can be released correspondingly, so that the handle 20 can be deflected and ejected outward relative to the frame 26 by using the resilient force provided by the torsion spring structure 22 for use The user can hold the handle 20 for subsequent hard disk extraction operations.

更詳細地說，請參閱第1圖以及第3圖，第3圖為第2圖之硬碟容置機構12之上視圖，其中為了清楚地顯示前框架18之內部機構設計以及硬碟容置機構12與硬碟14之間的設置關係，第3圖係省略框體26之繪示且硬碟14係以虛線簡單示意。由第1圖以及第3圖可知，扭簧結構22具有一固定座部36以及一扭簧片部38，固定座部36係固定於托盤16之前端f對應樞軸端部32之位置，扭簧片部38係自固定座部36往樞軸端部32延伸以提供回復彈力至樞軸端部32而可驅動拉柄20相對於框體26向外偏轉彈出，在此實施例中，樞軸端部32係可較佳地對應扭簧片部38突伸形成有一抵壓片33（但不受此限），藉此，當拉柄20偏轉至容置於框體26上時，抵壓片33係可隨著樞軸端部32樞轉以抵壓扭簧片部38撓曲變形，另一方面，當拉柄20之勾扣端部34與框體26之間的扣合被釋放時，撓曲變形之扭簧片部38即可提供回復彈力以經由抵壓片33驅動樞軸端部32樞轉（在第3圖中係朝順時鐘方向樞轉），使得拉柄20可相對於框體26向外偏轉彈出以便使用者握持操作。In more detail, please refer to Figures 1 and 3. Figure 3 is a top view of the hard disk accommodating mechanism 12 of Figure 2, in order to clearly show the internal mechanism design of the front frame 18 and the hard disk accommodating The arrangement relationship between the mechanism 12 and the hard disk 14 is shown in FIG. 3 omitting the frame 26 and the hard disk 14 is simply shown by a dotted line. It can be seen from Figures 1 and 3 that the torsion spring structure 22 has a fixed seat portion 36 and a torsion spring plate portion 38. The fixed seat portion 36 is fixed to the position of the front end f of the tray 16 corresponding to the pivot end 32. The reed portion 38 extends from the fixed seat portion 36 to the pivot end 32 to provide a restoring elastic force to the pivot end 32 to drive the handle 20 to deflect outward relative to the frame 26. In this embodiment, the pivot The shaft end 32 can preferably form a pressing piece 33 corresponding to the torsion spring piece 38 (but not limited by this), so that when the handle 20 is deflected to be accommodated in the frame 26, the pressing piece 33 The pressing piece 33 can pivot with the pivot end 32 to resist the flexural deformation of the torsion spring portion 38. On the other hand, when the hook end 34 of the handle 20 and the frame 26 are buckled When released, the flexed and deformed torsion spring portion 38 can provide a restoring elastic force to drive the pivot end 32 to pivot via the pressing piece 33 (in Figure 3, it pivots clockwise), so that the handle 20 It can be deflected outwardly relative to the frame 26 and ejected for the user to hold and operate.

至於在可撓性夾持臂24之結構設計方面，如第1圖至第3圖所示，可撓性夾持臂24（較佳地由不鏽鋼可撓性材質所組成，但不以此為限）係自固定座部36沿著托盤16之一第二側S ₂往後延伸且往容置空間30向內預壓形成，藉此，可撓性夾持臂24係可用來提供側向夾持力至硬碟14以將硬碟14固定於容置空間30中。除此之外，由第1圖可知，硬碟14可具有一側邊固定孔15（其固定孔配置數量端視實際應用而定，並不以第1圖為限），且硬碟容置機構14可另包含一固定片40，固定片40係可拆卸地設置在可撓性夾持臂24上（例如以結構卡合方式）且對應側邊固定孔15之位置具有一凸柱41，如此一來，當固定片40可拆卸地設置於可撓性夾持臂24上時，凸柱41係可貫穿可撓性夾持臂24且穿設於側邊固定孔15中以將硬碟14定位在容置空間30中。需注意的是，上述孔柱固定設計亦可應用在側臂28上（其相關描述係可參照上述實施例類推，於此不再贅述），藉以產生硬碟14可經由雙邊固定之方式而更穩固地固定在托盤16上之功效。 As for the structural design of the flexible clamping arm 24, as shown in Figures 1 to 3, the flexible clamping arm 24 (preferably composed of stainless steel flexible material, but not as Limit) is formed from the fixed seat portion 36 extending backward along the second side S _{2 of} the tray 16 and pre-pressed inwardly toward the accommodating space 30, whereby the flexible clamping arm 24 can be used to provide lateral The clamping force is applied to the hard disk 14 to fix the hard disk 14 in the accommodating space 30. In addition, it can be seen from Figure 1 that the hard disk 14 may have side fixing holes 15 (the number of fixing holes depends on the actual application, and is not limited to the first picture), and the hard disk can accommodate The mechanism 14 may further include a fixing piece 40. The fixing piece 40 is detachably disposed on the flexible clamping arm 24 (for example, in a structured engagement manner) and has a protruding post 41 at a position corresponding to the side fixing hole 15. In this way, when the fixing piece 40 is detachably disposed on the flexible clamping arm 24, the protruding post 41 can penetrate the flexible clamping arm 24 and pass through the side fixing hole 15 to hold the hard disk 14 is positioned in the accommodation space 30. It should be noted that the above-mentioned hole-post fixing design can also be applied to the side arm 28 (the relevant description can be deduced by referring to the above-mentioned embodiment and will not be repeated here), so that the hard disk 14 can be further fixed by bilateral fixing. The effect of being firmly fixed on the tray 16.

在實際應用中，如第2圖所示，可撓性夾持臂24可具有一限位槽孔42且托盤16往限位槽孔42彎折形成有一限位片44（但不受此限，在另一實施例中，本發明亦可採用托盤16具有限位槽孔42且可撓性夾持臂24往限位槽孔42彎折形成有限位片44之限位設計），限位片44係穿設於限位槽孔42中，如此一來，當可撓性夾持臂24被向外扳動而彈性變形時，限位片44係可止擋住限位槽孔42以限制可撓性夾持臂24之彈性變形程度，藉以避免可撓性夾持臂24因使用者誤操作（例如施力過大）而斷裂的情況發生。In practical applications, as shown in Figure 2, the flexible clamping arm 24 may have a limiting slot 42 and the tray 16 is bent toward the limiting slot 42 to form a limiting piece 44 (but not limited by this In another embodiment, the present invention can also adopt a limit design in which the tray 16 has a limit slot 42 and the flexible clamping arm 24 is bent toward the limit slot 42 to form a limit piece 44), The piece 44 is inserted into the limiting slot 42. As a result, when the flexible clamping arm 24 is pulled outwards to be elastically deformed, the limiting piece 44 can block the limiting slot 42 to restrict The degree of elastic deformation of the flexible clamping arm 24 prevents the flexible clamping arm 24 from being broken due to user misoperation (for example, excessive force).

以下係針對抽取式硬碟模組10之硬碟安裝操作以及硬碟拆卸操作進行詳細之說明，請參閱第3圖以及第4圖，第4圖為第3圖之硬碟容置機構12在可撓性夾持臂24被向外扳動而彈性變形時之上視圖。首先，當使用者欲進行抽取式硬碟模組10之硬碟安裝操作時，使用者僅需先將可撓性夾持臂24向外扳開以便將硬碟14放置於托盤16上（如第4圖所示），並接著釋放可撓性夾持臂24，此時，由上述可知，可撓性夾持臂24即可彈性回復至如第3圖所示之位置且提供側向夾持力至硬碟14，藉以將硬碟14夾持在托盤16上。最後，在使用者完成將固定片40設置在可撓性夾持臂24上且凸柱41貫穿可撓性夾持臂24以穿設於側邊固定孔15中之操作後，硬碟14係可穩固地固定在托盤16上（如第3圖所示），從而完成抽取式硬碟模組10之硬碟安裝操作，以便使用者將抽取式硬碟模組10插設在具有硬碟擴充槽之電腦系統或伺服器上，並進行後續如資料更新或是擴增儲存空間等操作。The following is a detailed description of the hard disk installation operation and hard disk removal operation of the removable hard disk module 10. Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. Figure 4 is the hard disk housing mechanism 12 in Figure 3 The top view of the flexible clamping arm 24 when it is pulled outward to be elastically deformed. First, when the user wants to perform the hard disk installation operation of the removable hard disk module 10, the user only needs to open the flexible clamping arm 24 outwards so as to place the hard disk 14 on the tray 16 (such as Figure 4), and then release the flexible clamping arm 24. At this time, from the above, the flexible clamping arm 24 can be elastically returned to the position shown in Figure 3 and provide lateral clamping The hard disk 14 is held so as to clamp the hard disk 14 on the tray 16. Finally, after the user completes the operation of setting the fixing piece 40 on the flexible clamping arm 24 and the protrusion 41 penetrates the flexible clamping arm 24 to pass through the side fixing hole 15, the hard disk 14 is It can be firmly fixed on the tray 16 (as shown in Figure 3) to complete the hard disk installation operation of the removable hard disk module 10, so that the user can insert the removable hard disk module 10 in a hard disk expansion On the computer system or server of the slot, and perform subsequent operations such as data update or storage space expansion.

另一方面，當使用者欲進行抽取式硬碟模組10之硬碟拆卸操作時，使用者僅需先將固定片40從可撓性夾持臂24上拆卸下來以釋鎖凸柱41與側邊固定孔15之間的孔柱卡合，並且接著將可撓性夾持臂24向外扳開（如第4圖所示），此時，由於硬碟14已不再被可撓性夾持臂24所夾持，因此，使用者即可快速且省力地將硬碟14從硬碟容置機構12中取出，以便進行後續硬碟更換或維修等操作。On the other hand, when the user wants to perform the hard disk removal operation of the removable hard disk module 10, the user only needs to remove the fixing piece 40 from the flexible clamping arm 24 to release the locking protrusion 41 and The hole posts between the side fixing holes 15 are engaged, and then the flexible clamping arm 24 is opened outwards (as shown in Figure 4). At this time, since the hard disk 14 is no longer flexible The clamping arm 24 is clamped so that the user can quickly and effortlessly remove the hard disk 14 from the hard disk accommodating mechanism 12 for subsequent operations such as hard disk replacement or maintenance.

綜上所述，相較於先前技術採用螺絲鎖固方式來完成硬碟抽取盒與硬碟之間的固定，本發明係採用可撓性夾持臂側向夾持硬碟以將硬碟固定在托盤上的無螺絲鎖固設計，以解決先前技術中所提到的螺絲鎖固方式會導致硬碟拆裝流程費時費工的問題，進而有效地提升抽取式硬碟模組之硬碟拆裝便利性。除此之外，由於無須額外配置螺絲以對硬碟進行鎖固，並且可撓性夾持臂係直接從用來驅動拉柄彈出之扭簧結構延伸形成而無須額外配置其他固定結構以將可撓性夾持臂設置在托盤上，因此，本發明亦有利於硬碟抽取盒之薄型化設計。以上所述僅為本發明之較佳實施例，凡依本發明申請專利範圍所做之均等變化與修飾，皆應屬本發明之涵蓋範圍。 To sum up, compared to the prior art using screw locking to complete the fixing between the hard disk extraction box and the hard disk, the present invention uses a flexible clamping arm to clamp the hard disk laterally to secure the hard disk The screw-less locking design on the tray solves the problem that the screw-locking method mentioned in the previous technology will lead to the time-consuming and labor-intensive disassembly process of the hard disk, thereby effectively improving the removal of the removable hard disk module. Convenience of installation. In addition, because no additional screws are required to lock the hard disk, and the flexible clamping arm is directly extended from the torsion spring structure used to drive the pull handle to eject, no additional fixing structure is required to secure the The flexible clamping arm is arranged on the tray.
