Adaptation device for hard disk drive
An adaptation device includes a lower casing member including a connection interface and forming a bottom slot in a front bottom, at least one retention flange on side walls, and pivot receiving holes in rear portions of the side walls. A retention board forms a connection interface receiving opening in a front end, rotation shafts on a rear end, and pawls on a bottom. The shafts are movably received in shaft slots defined in a rotary board. Pivots are formed below the shaft slots for being received in pivot receiving holes defined in the lower casing member. The rotary board has a hold-down plate. With a hard disk drive placed on the retention board and connected to a connection interface, the cover and the rotary board are closed forward to have the hold-down plate holding down the hard disk drive. The cover is then moved backward for fixation.
1. An adaptation device for a hard disk drive, comprising:
a lower casing member, which comprises a connection interface and forms a bottom slot in a front portion of a bottom thereof, retention flanges on side walls thereof, and pivot receiving holes in rear portions of the side walls;
a retention board, which functions to size-adjustably hold the hard disk drive and forms a connection interface receiving opening in a front end thereof, rotation shafts on a rear end, and a pawl on a bottom thereof to engage the bottom slot of the lower casing member;
a rotary board, which comprises a hold-down plate and has a rear end forming extended shaft slots for slidably and rotatably receiving the rotation shafts of the retention board, the rotary board further forming pivots below the shaft slots for being rotatably received in the pivot receiving holes of the lower casing member; and
a cover, which forms rotary board slide rails and cover slide rails, the cover slide rails being receivingly engageable the retention flanges of the lower casing member, the rotary board slide rails being engageable with side edges of the rotary board;
wherein the hard disk drive is connected to the connection interface and wherein the cover and the rotary board are closed forward through the rotation shafts of the retention board and the pivots of the rotary board cooperating with the shaft slots to have the hold-down plate holding down a top of the hard disk drive, and then the cove is moved backward to be fixed under the retention flanges of the lower casing member.
2. The adaptation device according to claim 1 , wherein the hold-down plate provided on the rotary board comprises a resilient member.
3. The adaptation device according to claim 1 , wherein the connection interface received in the connection interface receiving opening of the retention board comprises an advanced serial based peripheral device.
4. The adaptation device according to claim 1 , wherein the retention board is operable with the rotary board to hold down a 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch hard disk drive.
