Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of server devices, and particularly to a server with quick disassembly and assembly. Background Art
[0002] A server is a type of computer that runs faster and has a higher load than an ordinary computer. The server provides computing or application services for other client computers in a network. The server has high-speed CPU computing power, long-term reliable operation, powerful I / O external data throughput capacity, and better scalability.
[0003] For different server usage requirements, it is often necessary to disassemble the server to replace components such as its hard disk, or add other functional expansion components, etc. The existing server chassis structure generally has a side panel that is snap-fitted or slidably installed, and is fixed with screws. Each internal component is also installed with corresponding screws. Removing this panel allows for the disassembly and assembly of the internal components of the server. This connection method requires tools such as a screwdriver for disassembly and assembly, which takes a long time. Especially for a hard disk with a high replacement frequency, replacing it requires removing the entire server from the rack, which is cumbersome to operate and requires a large operating space. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides a server that can be quickly disassembled and assembled without the need for tools in view of the time-consuming problem of disassembling and assembling existing servers.
[0005] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is a server with quick disassembly and assembly, including a chassis main body.

A certain number of hard disk mounting positions are provided on the front mounting rack, and hard disk trays are inserted into the hard disk mounting positions. A hard disk fixing mechanism is provided on the hard disk trays. A detachable chassis hatch is provided on the top surface of the chassis main body. A locking mechanism is provided between the chassis main body and the chassis hatch. An external mounting mechanism for installing expansion cards is further provided inside the chassis main body. One side of the chassis main body is set as the front mounting rack, and the hard disks are installed on the hard disk trays and installed in the front mounting rack in a drawer structure, so that the hard disks can be directly disassembled and assembled from the side of the chassis without removing the chassis from the rack and disassembling it. At the same time, the chassis hatch is lock-connected to the chassis main body, making the disassembly and assembly more convenient. An external mounting mechanism is provided inside the chassis, which is connected to the chassis main body as a whole installation platform for expansion cards, and can quickly and conveniently install expansion cards. The structure of this server greatly simplifies the disassembly and assembly process between the server chassis, the chassis and the internal components. The disassembly and replacement of devices such as hard disks and expansion cards are more convenient and fast, and are easy to operate.

When it is necessary to disassemble the chassis, push the opposite end of the engaging part where the buckle is set in the reverse direction. Due to the lever effect, the buckle disengages from the engaging groove, and at this time, the chassis hatch is unlocked from the chassis main body.
[0029] As Figure 5 shown, the external installation mechanism 4 includes an expansion slot frame 401 for installing expansion cards.
