Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a bearing device and electronic equipment, in particular to a bearing device and electronic equipment capable of bearing high-intensity impact. Background Art

[0002] Traditional server equipment uses a chassis to accommodate multiple hard disks, and then installs multiple chassis into the cabinet through slide rails. A set of snap mechanisms are set on the left and right sides of the chassis to limit the displacement of the chassis relative to the cabinet. The spring clips of the snap mechanism are fixed to the side walls of the chassis with rivets or any fixing elements. The spring clips are provided with protrusions, which pass through the side walls of the chassis and insert into the corresponding holes of the cabinet to achieve the purpose of limiting displacement. However, if the server equipment is impacted by external force, causing the chassis to collide with the cabinet, the protrusions of the spring clips directly hit the holes of the cabinet, and the impact force will act on the rivets; the rivets are therefore easily damaged, and once the rivets are damaged, the limiting function of the snap mechanism will fail. Therefore, how to design a chassis and server equipment that can withstand high-intensity impacts while still maintaining a good limiting function is one of the development goals of the relevant institutional design industry. Summary of the invention

The buckle assembly can be slidably arranged on the shell and combined with the storage device. The buckle assembly includes a buckle, a support member and a fixing member. The buckle is provided with a buckle portion and a slide groove, and the buckle portion is buckled with the storage device. The support member is elastically deformable and arranged on the buckle. The fixing member passes through the slide groove to set the buckle on the shell.

[0005] In some embodiments of the present invention, the shell has a hole, and the buckle portion is inserted through the hole and buckled with the storage device.

[0006] In some embodiments of the present invention, a groove body direction of the sliding groove is parallel to a moving direction of the shell relative to the storage device, so that the buckle assembly moves relative to the shell along the moving direction.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present invention, one end of the support member is provided with a slot, and the other end of the support member is fixed to the buckle member. The fixing member passes through the slide slot and the slot to fix the buckle assembly to the housing, so that the support member can be elastically deformed and fixed to the buckle member.

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, a groove direction of the groove is parallel to a moving direction of the shell relative to the storage device.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the support member has a first section and a second section connected to each other, the first section is disposed on the housing, and the second section can movably stop against the buckle member.

[0062] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 is an assembly diagram of an electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2It is an exploded view of the components of the electronic device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The electronic device 10 may include a storage device 12 and a carrying device 14, and the carrying device 14 is detachably combined with the storage device 12. The electronic device 10 may be a server device, or other types of equipment with component plugging and unplugging requirements. The storage device 12 may be a cabinet of the electronic device 10, and a plurality of slide rails or similar structures (not shown in the figure) may be provided inside the cabinet; the carrying device 14 utilizes the slide rails to detachably load into or remove from the storage device 12, and the carrying device 14 is fixed to the storage device 12 by a snap assembly 15. Electronic components such as a hard disk may be placed inside the carrying device 14. The user may pull the carrying device 14 out of the storage device 12 to inspect or replace the electronic components in the carrying device 14.

[0063] See also Figures 3 to 7 , Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the appearance of a carrying device 14 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 4 and Figure 5 Exploded views of the buckle assembly 15 of the embodiment of the present invention at different viewing angles. Figure 6 is an assembly diagram of the buckle assembly 15 according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 7 1 is a partial structural side view of a carrying device 14 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The carrying device 14 may include a buckle assembly 15 and a shell 16. The buckle assembly 15 may be slidably disposed on the shell 16 and combined with the storage device 12. The buckle assembly 15 may include a buckle 18, a support member 20 and a fixing member 22. The fixing member 22 is inserted through the buckle 18 and the support member 20 and fixed to the shell 16. The shell 16 may be a side wall of the carrying device 14 and a carrier of the buckle assembly 15. The shell 16 has a hole 24, which is disposed on the carrier wall and is located adjacent to the buckle 18.

[0064] The number of the fixing members 22 can be one or more, depending on the design requirements. The buckle 18 is provided with a buckle portion 26 and a slide groove 28. The number of the slide groove 28 can also be one or more, corresponding to the number of the fixing members 22. The buckle portion 26 is used to pass through the hole 24 to buckle with the corresponding recessed structure of the storage device 12. The fixing member 22 can be a screw, a bolt or a rivet, which passes through the slide groove 28 and is fixed on the housing 16, so that the buckle 18 can be slidably arranged on the housing 16 relative to the fixing member 22.

[0065] In addition, the buckle 18 may be optionally provided with a reinforcing portion 44 and a gripping portion 46. The reinforcing portion 44 may be adjacent to the buckle portion 26, and serves to reinforce the structural strength of the buckle 18 that is lost due to the formation of the buckle portion 26. The slide groove 28 is provided at the fixed end of the buckle 18, and the gripping portion 46 may be provided at the free end of the buckle 18 relative to the slide groove 28. The user may manually bend the buckle 18 through the gripping portion 46, so that the buckle portion 26 is separated from the hole 24 and the receiving device 12 along the X-axis direction, and the carrier device 14 may be pulled out of the receiving device 12. If the user removes the external force applied to the gripping portion 46, the elastic restoring force of the buckle 18 itself and the elastic reset force provided by the support member 20 can drive the buckle portion 26 to automatically insert into the hole 24 to buckle to the corresponding recessed structure of the receiving device 12.

[0066] The support member 20 is elastically deformable to stop the buckle member 18, so as to provide support force for the buckle member 18 in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, one end of the support member 20 may be provided with a slot 30, and the other end of the support member 20 may be fixed on the buckle member 18. The number of the slots 30 may correspond to the number of the fixing members 22. The fixing members 22 are fixed on the housing 16 by passing through the slots 30, so that the support member 20 can be slidably disposed on the housing 16 relative to the fixing members 22.

[0067] The fixing member 22 may include a connected shaft portion 32 and a stop portion 34. The groove direction D1 of the slide groove 28 and the groove direction D2 of the slot 30 may be parallel to the moving direction of the carrier device 14 relative to the storage device 12, such as the Y-axis direction, and the groove length L1 of the slide groove 28 and the groove length L2 of the slot 30 may be greater than the radial dimension R1 of the shaft portion 32; the buckle assembly 15 may move relative to the housing 16 by utilizing the gap difference between the slide groove 28 and the fixing member 22, and the support member 20 may move relative to the housing 16 by utilizing the gap difference between the slot 30 and the fixing member 22. The groove width W1 of the slide groove 28 and the groove width W2 of the slot 30 may be smaller than the radial dimension R2 of the stop portion 34, which may prevent the buckle 18 and the support member 20 from being separated from the restraint of the fixing member 22.

[0068] In addition, the support member 20 may have a first section 20A and a second section 20B connected to each other. The slot 30 may be provided in the first section 20A, so that the first section 20A may be installed on the housing 16 by using the combination of the fixing member 22 and the slot 30. The second section 20B may be slightly bent relative to the first section 20A, and stop against the buckle 18 in a movable and detachable manner. The buckle 18 of the present invention has a certain structural thickness, so that the buckle portion 26 can withstand a strong impact force; since the buckle 18 will reduce its elastic restoring force due to the structural thickness, the carrier 14 further sets a support member 20 on the buckle 18, and uses the elastic restoring force provided by the support member 20 to ensure that the buckle portion 26 of the buckle 18 can stably pass through the hole 24 of the housing 16 and buckle to the storage device 12.

[0069] like Figure 7 As shown, when the buckle 18 and the support member 20 are mounted on the housing 16 through the fixing member 22, and the carrying device 14 is in a stationary state and does not move relative to the receiving device 12, the first distance I1 between the buckle portion 26 and the inner surface 241 of the hole 24 can be smaller than the second distance I2 between the fixing member 22 and the inner surface 281 of the slide groove 28; in addition, the first distance I1 is also smaller than the third distance I3 between the fixing member 22 and the inner surface 301 of the slot 30. The second distance I2 and the third distance I3 may be the same or different, depending on the design requirements of the slide groove 28 and the slot 30. In this way, if the carrying device 14 is impacted by external force and moves relative to the receiving device 12, the buckle portion 26 will stop at the inner surface 241 of the hole 24, but the fixing member 22 will not collide with the inner surface 281 of the slide groove 28 or the inner surface 301 of the slot 30, which means that the impact force is all borne by the buckle portion 26, which can effectively prevent the fixing member 22 from being damaged by the impact.

[0070] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 1 is a partial component assembly diagram of a carrier device 15' according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the components with the same number as those in the above embodiment have the same structure and function, so they are not described again. The support member 20' of the buckle assembly 15' may be provided with a first section 20C, a second section 20D and a third section 20E connected to each other. The first section 20C and the third section 20E may be respectively arranged on both sides of the second section 20D. The first section 20C and the third section 20E may be arranged on the housing 16 by elements such as screws, bolts, and rivets, and the second section 20D is movably stopped at the buckle 18. In this embodiment, the second section 20D is preferably combined with the first section 20C and the third section 20E by a bending connection, so that the elastic restoring force of the support member 20' is sufficient to support the buckle portion 26 of the buckle 18 to stably pass through the hole 24 of the housing 16; however, the actual application should not be limited to this.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, the support member 20 of the existing embodiment may be provided with one or more ribs 38 in the central area 36 so that the support member 20 has better structural strength, but the ribs 38 increase the structural thickness of the support member 20 and weaken its elastic restoring force; if the elastic restoring force of the support member 20 is to be improved, it can be implemented by improving its structural characteristics.

[0072] See also Fig. 9 and Fig.10 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a support member 20" in another embodiment of the present invention in another embodiment. In this embodiment, the components with the same number as those in the above embodiment have the same structure and function, so they will not be described again. Fig. 9 As shown, the central area 36 of the support member 20" may be provided with one or more concave structures 40; the concave structure 40 is recessed from one side of the central area 36 toward the other side. Since the support member 20" uses the buckle portion 26 to withstand the impact force, the support member 20" provided with the concave structure 40 can improve the elastic recovery force by reducing its structural thickness. Fig.10 As shown, the central area 36 of the support member 20 ″ can be provided with one or more hollow structures 42 ; the function of the hollow structure 42 is also to reduce the structural thickness of the support member 20 ″ to enhance its elastic restoring force.

[0073] In summary, the carrier device of the present invention utilizes the design of the fixing member passing through the slide groove so that the buckle member can be floated on the shell. The distance between the buckle portion of the buckle member and the hole in the shell is less than or equal to the distance between the fixing member and the slide groove of the buckle member; when the carrier device is subjected to a collision, the impact force is borne by the buckle portion, and the fixing member will not contact the inner surface of the slide groove of the buckle member and will not be deformed or damaged. Furthermore, the carrier device will further set a support member on the buckle member; the fixing member passes through the slot of the support member, so that the support member is floated on the shell. The support member is used to strengthen the elastic reset force of the buckle member to ensure that the buckle portion can maintain the initial state of passing through the hole in the shell and buckled to the storage device. Compared with the prior art, the carrier device of the present invention and its electronic device have the advantages of simple structure and easy assembly. The carrier device can provide stable buckling and convenient disassembly and assembly without a complex structure, which is conducive to rapid repair to reduce manufacturing and maintenance costs.
