Abstract

The present invention relates to a removable hard-disk structure without screws at least comprising a housing, a first elastic arm, a second elastic arm and a removable component. The housing having a placing space is connected to an opening end to enable the hard disk be placed into the placing space, and a door plate is further installed at the opening end to avoid the hard disk departing from the housing. The first and the second elastic arms are installed at the top surface and two side surfaces respectively, and these elastic arms are cantilever type and extend a pressing end into the placing space, which holds and presses the hard disk, and the hard disk is correctly being placed into the placing space. The removable component has a connecting end which is connected into the placing space, as the hard disk is placed in the placing space, the removable component fits the hard disk, and thus the hard disk can be easily removed by applying force on the removable end of the removable component.

Dependent claims

A removable hard disk structure without screws, comprising:

a housing comprising an opening end, a placing space and a door plate, wherein the placing space comprises a top surface and two side surfaces corresponding to each other, and the placing space is connected to the opening end so that the hard disk is placed into the placing space through the opening end;
at least one first elastic arm installed on the top surface and the first elastic arm comprising a first pressing end;
at least one second elastic arm installed on at least one side surface and the second elastic arm comprising a second pressing end;
and
a removable component comprising a connecting end and a removable end, wherein the connecting end is installed on the housing;
when the hard disk is placed into the placing space through the opening end, the hard disk is tightly pressed by the first pressing end of the first elastic arm and the second pressing end of the second elastic arm, and the hard disk is thereby shifted within the placing space along a first linear direction;
when the hard disk is placed into the placing space, the hard disk is shifted along a second linear direction by applying force on the removable end of the removable component.
