Server device

Abstract

A server device includes a housing, a first vertical wall, a second vertical wall, and an expansion module rack. The housing includes a base plate. The first and second vertical walls are fixed to the base plate and are parallel to each other and spaced apart to form a receiving groove between them. The expansion module rack is detachably inserted into the receiving groove and can be slidably moved to an assembly position or a pre-assembly position. When the expansion module rack is in the assembly position, it at least partially obscures a cable management space between itself and the base plate. When the expansion module rack moves from the assembly position to the pre-assembly position, the cable management space is exposed.

Claims

1. A server device, comprising: a housing including a base plate; a first vertical wall fixed to the base plate; a second vertical wall fixed to the base plate, wherein the first vertical wall and the second vertical wall are parallel to each other and spaced apart to form a receiving groove between the first vertical wall and the second vertical wall; and an expansion module frame detachably inserted into the receiving groove and slidably movable to an assembly position or a pre-assembly position; wherein... When the expansion module rack is in the assembly position, the expansion module rack at least partially covers a cable management space between the expansion module rack and the base plate; and wherein, when the expansion module rack moves from the assembly position to the pre-assembly position, the expansion module rack exposes the cable management space.

2. The server device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first vertical wall includes a first positioning structure and a second positioning structure, the second positioning structure being further away from the first positioning structure from an opening in the receiving slot, the expansion module frame being detachably inserted into the receiving slot from the opening, and the expansion module frame including a locking member; wherein, When the expansion module frame is in the pre-assembly position, the locking member is detachably snapped into the first positioning structure, and the expansion module frame does not overlap with the cable management space in a normal direction of the base plate; wherein, when the expansion module frame is in the assembly position, the locking member is detachably snapped into the second positioning structure, and the expansion module frame at least partially overlaps with the cable management space in the normal direction of the base plate.

3. The server device as described in claim 2, wherein the first vertical wall further includes a first slide rail, the second vertical wall includes a second slide rail, the first slide rail and the second slide rail are both parallel to a module insertion direction of the receiving slot, the expansion module frame further includes a carrier plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a plurality of first sliders and a plurality of second sliders, the first side plate and the second side plate are respectively connected to opposite sides of the carrier plate and together form an expansion card receiving space, the locking member is disposed on the first side plate, the first sliders are disposed on the side of the first side plate away from the second side plate and arranged in a direction parallel to the module insertion direction, the second sliders are disposed on the side of the second side plate away from the first side plate and arranged in a direction parallel to the module insertion direction, the first sliders are slidably located in the first slide rail, and the second sliders are slidably located in the second slide rail.

4. The server device as described in claim 3, wherein the first positioning structure is a positioning slot, the second positioning structure is a stop end face located at the end of the first vertical wall away from the opening, the locking member includes a fixing base, a pin, an operating part, and a reset element, the fixing base is fixed to the first side plate, the pin is movably disposed on the fixing base and retractably protrudes from the side of the first side plate away from the second side plate, the operating part is movably disposed on the fixing base, the operating part is connected to the pin and is used to receive force to move the pin to an insertion position or a withdrawal position, and the reset element is connected between the pin and the fixing base and is used to apply force to the pin to push the pin to the insertion position; wherein... When the expansion module frame is in the pre-assembly position, the pin is forcefully engaged by the reset element and positioned in the insertion position, and is detachably inserted into the first positioning structure, thereby positioning the expansion module frame in the pre-assembly position. The operating part is then forcefully engaged to move the pin from the insertion position to the extraction position, disengaging it from the first positioning structure, thus moving the expansion module frame from the pre-assembly position towards the opening or the assembly position. When the expansion module frame is in the assembly position, the pin is forcefully engaged by the reset element and positioned in the insertion position, and detachably abuts against the second positioning structure, thereby positioning the expansion module frame in the assembly position. The operating part is then forcefully engaged to move the pin from the insertion position to the extraction position, disengaging it from the second positioning structure, thus moving the expansion module frame from the assembly position towards the pre-assembly position.

5. The server device as claimed in claim 4, wherein a movement direction of the operating part is perpendicular to a extension direction of the latch.

6. The server device as described in claim 4, wherein the reset element is a spring.

7. The server device as claimed in claim 3, wherein the number of the first sliders is at least three, and the number of the second sliders is at least three.

8. The server device as claimed in claim 2, wherein the distance between the first positioning structure and the opening is less than the distance between the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure.
