Abstract
The invention discloses a hard disk securing apparatus including an upper housing, a lower housing, and a securing module. The lower housing is fixed in an electronic apparatus and includes a block part. An accommodation space is formed between the upper housing and the lower housing and used for accommodating a hard disk of the electronic apparatus. The securing module is disposed on the upper housing, and includes a ring-shape elastic body and a clasp member extending from the ring-shape elastic body. The clasp member detachably clasps the block part of the lower housing.
Claims10
A hard disk securing apparatus, comprising:
- a lower housing fixed in an electronic apparatus, the lower housing comprising a block part;
- an upper housing, wherein there is an accommodation space formed between the upper housing and the lower housing, the accommodation space is used for accommodating a hard disk of the electronic apparatus;
- and
- a securing module disposed on the upper housing, the securing module comprising a ring-shape elastic body, a clasp member extending from the ring-shape elastic body and a holding part formed inside the ring-shape elastic body, and the clasp member detachably clasping the block part of the lower housing, wherein the clasp member comprises:
- an incline part, when the incline part is in contact with the lower housing, the clasp member is pushed to move toward or away from the lower housing;
- and
- a plane part, wherein there is an acute angle formed between the incline part and the plane part, when the clasp member clasps the lower housing, the plane part is in contact with the block part of the lower housing, wherein one side of the ring-shape elastic body is fixed at the upper housing, and the clasp member extends from the other side of the ring-shape elastic body, and the clasp member can move toward the ring-shape elastic body to press the ring-shape elastic body,
- wherein the holding part presses the ring-shape elastic body to deform when a force is exerted on the holding part in a direction toward a center of the ring-shape elastic body.
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- a main housing;
- a hard disk;
- and
- a hard disk securing apparatus comprising:
- a lower housing fixed on the main housing, the lower housing comprising a block part;
- an upper housing, wherein there is an accommodation space formed between the upper housing and the lower housing, the accommodation space is used for accommodating a hard disk of the electronic apparatus;
- and
- a securing module disposed on the upper housing, the securing module comprising a ring-shape elastic body, a clasp member extending from the ring-shape elastic body and a holding part formed inside the ring-shape elastic body, and the clasp member detachably clasping the block part of the lower housing, wherein the clasp member comprises:
- an incline part, when the incline part is in contact with the lower housing, the clasp member is pushed to move toward or away from the lower housing;
- and
- a plane part, wherein there is an acute angle formed between the incline part and the plane part, when the clasp member clasps the lower housing, the plane part is in contact with the block part of the lower housing, wherein one side of the ring-shape elastic body is fixed at the upper housing, and the clasp member extends from the other side of the ring-shape elastic body, and the clasp member can move toward the ring-shape elastic body to press the ring-shape elastic body,
- wherein the holding part presses the ring-shape elastic body to deform when a force is exerted on the holding part in a direction toward a center of the ring-shape elastic body.
