JPH0679434B2 - Cartridge type hard disk drive - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a cartridge type hard disk drive that can be attached to and detached from a terminal device by a one-touch operation.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of cartridge type hard disk drive has a structure in which the main body of the hard disk drive is directly contacted with an external case or is mounted via a solid support tool.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The above-described conventional cartridge type hard disk drive has a structure in which the main body of the hard disk drive is directly attached to the external case or is attached via a hard support tool, and thus is weak against vibration and impact, There is a drawback in that the contents stored in the cartridge type hard disk drive are destroyed or the main body of the hard disk drive is destroyed due to vibration and shock.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and as a solving means therefor, the present invention provides a hard disk drive main body and an internal part for mounting the hard disk drive main body. In a cartridge-type hard disk drive including a chassis and an external case that houses the internal chassis in which the hard disk drive body is mounted, the external case is formed of an earthquake-resistant material, and a hard disk is provided between the disk drive body and the internal chassis. The drive body is equipped with anti-vibration material to protect it from vibration and shock.

[Embodiment] Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cartridge type hard disk drive according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view of FIG. 1, FIG. 3 is a view showing a storage state of a relay cable, and FIG. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vibration isolator used in the cartridge type hard disk drive, FIGS. 5 to 7 are plan views, front views, side views and FIG. 8 showing the vibration isolator of FIG. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a mounted state of.

The cartridge type hard disk drive is made into a cartridge as a whole as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, and includes a hard disk drive main body 3, an internal chassis 4 for mounting the hard disk drive main body 3, and a hard disk drive main body 3. It is composed of outer cases 1 and 2 for accommodating the internal chassis 4, a connector protector 6, and a relay cable 7.

The outer cases 1 and 2 house the hard disk drive main body 3 and are made of an olefinic thermoplastic elastomer or the like that is resistant to vibration and shock. An LED optical repeater 8 is mounted on the front surface of the outer case 1.

The hard disk drive body 3 is attached to the internal chassis 4 via a vibration isolator 9.

As shown in FIGS. 4 to 7, the vibration isolator 9 includes a support portion 9a and a sheet metal portion formed of butyl rubber or the like having excellent vibration resistance and impact resistance.
It consists of 9b. Four of these vibration isolator 9 are mounted on the inner chassis 4, and are fixed to the inner chassis 4 mounted on the outer case 2 through the inner chassis support 10 as shown in FIG. 3 is fixed.

With the cartridge-type hard disk drive of the present embodiment having the above-described configuration, the vibrations given to the outer cases 1 and 2 are first absorbed by the cases 1 and 2, then weakened by the inner chassis support 10, and finally It is absorbed by the vibration isolator 9. As a result, the internal hard disk drive body 3 is protected from vibration and the like, and is excellent in vibration resistance and shock resistance.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the cartridge type hard disk drive of the present invention includes a hard disk drive main body, an internal chassis in which the hard disk drive main body is mounted,
In a cartridge type hard disk drive having an external case for accommodating the internal chassis in which the hard disk drive body is mounted, the external case is formed of a shock-proof material, and the hard disk drive body is provided between the disk drive body and the internal chassis. vibration,
Since the anti-vibration material is provided to protect against shocks, the cartridge-type hard disk drive itself and stored contents are less likely to be destroyed even when subjected to vibrations and shocks. As a result, there is no need to worry about shocks, and cartridge-type hard disks This has the effect of making the drive easier to carry.
