Abstract

A storage device accommodating structure for positioning a storage device includes a chassis, a press plate, a pair of supporting stands and an elastic member. The press plate is moveably arranged inside the chassis, the pair of supporting stands are moveably and alternatively arranged at one lateral side of the press plate, one side of each one of the supporting stands is connected to the press plate and another side thereof abuts against the chassis, the elastic member is elastically arranged among the press plate, each one of the supporting stands and the chassis; therefore, the press plate is able to adjust a position thereof and to press onto the storage device via an elastic recovery force of the elastic member. Accordingly, the storage device can be firmly inserted inside the chassis and maintain an excellent electrical connection with the connector.

Claims

1. A storage device accommodating structure, used for accommodating and positioning storage devices of different dimensions therein, comprising:

a chassis;

a press plate moveably arranged inside the chassis;

a pair of supporting stands moveably and alternatively arranged at one lateral side of the press plate, one side of each one of the supporting stands connected to the press plate and another side thereof abutted against the chassis; and

an elastic member elastically arranged among the press plate, each one of the supporting stands and the chassis;

wherein each one of the supporting stands abuts against the press plate via an elastic force of the elastic member in order to allow the press plate to accommodate and to press onto the storage device of different dimensions in order to adjust a position thereof inside the chassis.

2. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 1, wherein the chassis includes a plurality of adjustment holes formed thereon, two sides of the press plate include a protruding ear formed thereon respectively, the protruding ear is secured onto the adjustment hole via a fastening member.

3. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 1, wherein each one of the supporting stands is a U-shaped shaft, a lateral surface of the press plate facing toward the pair of supporting stands includes a plurality of locking slots formed thereon, one ends of the plurality of supporting stands are locked onto the plurality of locking slots.

4. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 3, wherein each one of the supporting stands includes a connection section and two supporting sections bent to extend from two ends of the connection section, the supporting sections of the pair of supporting stands are arranged to intersect with each other to form an X shape.

5. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a torsion spring, the elastic member is arranged between the pair of supporting stands, two ends of the elastic member are connected to the pair of supporting stands respectively.

6. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 1, wherein the elastic member is a compression spring, two ends of the elastic member are connected to the press plate and the chassis respectively.

7. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 1, wherein the elastic member is an extension spring, two ends of the elastic member are connected to the press plate and the chassis respectively.

8. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 7, wherein the elastic member is arranged at an outer wall surface of the chassis.

9. A storage device accommodating structure, used for positioning a storage device, comprising:

a chassis;

a positioning supportive portion arranged inside the chassis;

a first press plate moveably arranged inside the chassis;

a pair of first supporting stands moveably and alternatively arranged at one lateral side of the first press plate, one side of each one of the first supporting stands connected to the first press plate and another side thereof abutted against the positioning supportive portion;

a first elastic member elastically arranged between the first press plate and the pair of first supporting stands;

wherein each one of the first supporting stands abuts against the first press plate via an elastic force of the first elastic member in order to allow the first press plate to accommodate and press onto the storage device of different dimensions in order to adjust a position thereof inside the chassis;

a second press plate parallel to the first press plate and moveably arranged inside the chassis;

a pair of second supporting stands moveably and alternatively arranged at one lateral side of the second press plate, one side of each one of the second supporting stands connected to the second press plate and another side thereof abutted against the positioning supportive portion; and

a second elastic member elastically arranged between the second press plate and the pair of second supporting stands;

wherein each one of the second supporting stands abuts against the second press plate via an elastic force of the second elastic member in order to allow the second press plate to accommodate and press onto the storage device of different dimensions in order to adjust a position thereof inside the chassis.

10. The storage device accommodating structure according to claim 9, wherein the positioning supportive portion is a pair of locking hooks extended to protrude from an inner wall of the chassis.
