Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hard disk server technology, specifically to a network line connection device for hard disk servers. Background Technology

[0002] A hard drive server refers to a hard drive used on a server to store software and user data. The hard drive is usually connected to the server via a data cable to transmit data, thereby establishing a signal connection between the server and the hard drive.

[0003] When connecting a network cable to a hard drive, the cable can be pulled or bumped, which can affect the tightness of the connection between the cable and the hard drive, or even cause it to come loose, resulting in data transmission interruption. In addition, the ends of the data cable and the ports on the hard drive can generate a lot of heat during data transmission, resulting in poor heat dissipation.

[0004] By setting up a connection device that secures the hard drive from the outside, we prevent the hard drive from becoming loose after connection, thus affecting the stability of the connection. We also expose the metal connector that connects to the hard drive interface to enhance heat dissipation. Therefore, we propose a network line connection device for hard drive servers. Summary of the Invention

[0011] Preferably, the connecting component includes a fixing base, with connecting metal plates arranged in an array on the front side of the fixing base, a sleeve plate fitted on the front side of the connecting metal plates, and a clearance groove correspondingly formed on the surface of the sleeve plate. Two sleeves distributed on the left and right are fixedly installed on the front side of the fixing base, with a connecting rod inserted into the front end of the sleeve. A spring is fixedly installed between the rear end of the connecting rod and the end face of the sleeve. The front end of the connecting rod is fixedly installed on the rear side of the sleeve plate. Two stop bars distributed on the left and right are fixedly installed on the front side of the sleeve plate. An installation groove is formed inside the fixing box and on the rear side wall of the through groove. The fixing base is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the installation groove.

[0012] Preferably, scraper strips are fixedly installed inside the sleeve plate and on the left and right side walls of the clearance groove. The cross-section of the scraper strip is triangular, and the scraper strip abuts against the left and right sides of the connecting metal sheet.

[0013] Preferably, the stabilizing component includes a turntable disposed on the left and right side walls of the slot. The fixing box has mounting slots two on both the left and right side walls of the slot. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the axis of the turntable. The two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively fixedly installed on the top and bottom walls of the mounting slots two. A rubber ring is disposed on the circumference of the turntable. The rubber ring is made of rubber. The axes of the turntable and the rubber ring are offset. A coil spring is fixedly installed on the surface of the turntable off-center from the axis. The other end of the coil spring is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the turntable.

[0014] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the circumferential surface of the rubber ring at the point closest to the center of the turntable. Both sides of the fixing box are provided with through holes communicating with the mounting groove. A limiting rod is slidably connected inside the through hole. A tension spring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. The two ends of the tension spring are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the limiting rod and the inner wall of the through hole.

[0015] Preferably, the assembly of the turntable and the rubber ring passes through the opening of the second mounting slot and extends into the interior of the slot, with the rubber ring abutting against the side of the hard disk.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a network line connection device for a hard disk server, which has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. This network connection device for hard disk servers works by inserting the hard disk into the mounting box through a slot. The side of the hard disk moves against the circumferential surface of a rubber ring, causing friction to rotate the assembly of the rubber ring and the turntable. The coil spring twists and accumulates elastic potential energy. As the assembly of the turntable and the rubber ring rotates, the circumferential surface of the rubber ring, which is furthest from the turntable axis, gradually approaches the side of the hard disk, pressing against it. This gradually increases the pressure on the side of the hard disk, clamping it in place. When the circumferential surface of the rubber ring, which is furthest from the turntable axis, is in contact with the side of the hard disk, the end of a limiting rod, under the elastic action of a tension spring, inserts into a limiting groove on the surface of the rubber ring, locking the assembly of the rubber ring and the turntable in place and preventing further rotation. This keeps the rubber ring clamping the hard disk, effectively securing it and preventing it from loosening after installation.

[0019] 2. This network connection device for hard drive servers, during the insertion of the hard drive into the slot, compresses the end of the hard drive against a tension spring on the front side of the sleeve plate. The sleeve plate slides backward along the surface of the connecting metal plate. A scraper scrapes the surface of the connecting metal plate, removing dust and oxide layers. As the sleeve plate moves backward, the connecting rod slides inward into the sleeve, compressing the spring and accumulating elastic potential energy. Simultaneously, the free end of the connecting metal plate is exposed from the front of the sleeve plate and inserted into the socket at the end of the hard drive. A gap is created between the sleeve plate and the hard drive by a stop bar. Heat generated at the connection point between the socket and the connecting metal plate can dissipate through the socket and the gap between the sleeve plate and the hard drive, and then be discharged through the ventilation holes. This achieves good heat dissipation at the connection point between the hard drive and the connecting metal plate.

[0020] 3. This network line connection device for hard drive servers allows for easy removal of the hard drive by pulling the limiting rod outwards. The limiting rod separates from the limiting groove, releasing the limiting effect on the turntable and rubber ring assembly. Pulling the hard drive outwards then removes it from the mounting box. After the connector separates from the connecting metal plate, the sleeve, under the elastic action of the spring, moves forward along the surface of the connecting metal plate, covering the free end of the connecting metal plate again for protection. This facilitates easy insertion and removal of the hard drive. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figure 1-3A network connection device for a hard disk server includes a mounting box 1. A slot 12 is provided on the front side of the mounting box 1. A through groove 11 communicating with the slot 12 is provided through the rear side of the top of the mounting box 1. A baffle 13 is hinged to the top wall inside the mounting box 1 at the junction of the slot 12 and the through groove 11, sealing the junction to prevent external dust and other foreign objects from entering the through groove 11 through the slot 12. An observation window 14, made of transparent material, is provided at the top of the mounting box 1 at the opening of the through groove 11. The observation window 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting box 1. A sealing plate 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the through groove 11 at its opening. The surface of the sealing plate 15 has an array of heat dissipation holes 16, the diameter of which gradually decreases from top to bottom. The funnel-shaped design of the heat dissipation holes 16 facilitates the discharge of dust and other contaminants from inside the through groove 11. An adapter 17 is provided on the rear side of the mounting box 1, and a pad 18 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the mounting box 1. A hard drive 4 is inserted into the slot 12 on the front side of the mounting box 1. The end of the hard drive 4 is provided with a connector 41. A connecting component 2 is correspondingly provided on the inner rear wall of the slot 12. With the setting of the observation window 14, it is convenient to observe the connection between the connector 41 and the connecting component 2 of the hard drive 4 during the insertion of the hard drive 4 into the slot 12. Stabilizing components 3 are provided on the left and right side walls of the mounting box 1 inside the slot 12. The stabilizing components 3 stabilize the hard drive 4 after it is inserted into the slot 12 of the mounting box 1, preventing the connector 41 from separating from the connecting component 2.

[0031] Please see Figure 3-6The connecting component 2 includes a fixing base 21. Connecting metal plates 22 are arranged in an array on the front side of the fixing base 21. A sleeve plate 23 is sleeved on the front side of the connecting metal plate 22. A relief groove 24 is correspondingly opened on the surface of the sleeve plate 23. Scraper strips 231 are fixedly installed inside the sleeve plate 23 and on the left and right side walls of the relief groove 24. The cross-section of the scraper strip 231 is triangular, and the scraper strip 231 abuts against the left and right sides of the connecting metal plate 22. Two sleeves 25 are fixedly installed on the front side of the fixed base 21, distributed on the left and right. A connecting rod 26 is inserted into the front end of the sleeve 25. A spring 27 is fixedly installed between the rear end of the connecting rod 26 and the end face of the sleeve 25. The front end of the connecting rod 26 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the sleeve plate 23. Therefore, the assembly of the sleeve 25 and the connecting rod 26 can be contracted and extended. As a result, the sleeve plate 23 can slide back and forth along the connecting metal piece 22. When the insertion port 41 is not connected to the connecting metal piece 22, the sleeve plate 23 covers the free end of the connecting metal piece 22 to protect the connecting metal piece 22. During the process of the sleeve plate 23 sliding along the connecting metal piece 22, the scraper 231 scrapes the surface of the connecting metal piece 22 to prevent dust from adhering to the surface of the connecting metal piece 22 and to prevent the formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the connecting metal piece 22. Two baffles 28 are fixedly installed on the front side of the sleeve plate 23, which are distributed on the left and right. The baffles 28 separate the sleeve plate 23 from the hard disk 4, and only the metal plate 22 is connected to the inside of the socket 41 for heat dissipation. The mounting slot 29 is opened inside the fixing box 1 and on the rear side wall of the through slot 11. The fixing seat 21 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the mounting slot 29.

[0032] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 7The stabilizing component 3 includes a turntable 31 mounted on the left and right side walls of the slot 12. Mounting slots 32 are provided inside the fixing box 1 on both the left and right side walls of the slot 12. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the axis of the turntable 31, with its two ends fixedly mounted on the top and bottom walls of the mounting slots 32, respectively. A rubber ring 33 is provided on the circumferential surface of the turntable 31. The rubber ring 33 is made of rubber. The axes of the turntable 31 and the rubber ring 33 are offset. The assembly of the turntable 31 and the rubber ring 33 passes through the opening of the mounting slot 32 and extends into the interior of the slot 12. The rubber ring 33 abuts against the side of the hard disk 4. A coil spring 34 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the turntable 31 off-center from the axis, with the other end of the coil spring 34 fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft of the turntable 31. A limiting groove 35 is provided on the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33 closest to the axis of the turntable 31. When the hard disk 4 is not inserted into the slot 12, the coil spring 34 is in a free state, and the limiting grooves 35 on the two rubber rings 33 are aligned. Both sides of the fixing box 1 have through holes 36 communicating with the mounting groove 32. A limit rod 37 is slidably connected inside the through hole 36, and a tension spring 38 abuts against the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33. When the assembly of the rubber ring 33 and the turntable 31 rotates, the tension spring 38 slides along the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33. The tension spring 38 is sleeved on the surface of the limit rod 37, and the two ends of the tension spring 38 are respectively fixedly installed on the surface of the limit rod 37 and the inner wall of the through hole 36.

[0033] In use, the hard disk 4 is inserted into the interior of the fixed box 1 from the slot 12. The side of the hard disk 4 moves against the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33. Through friction, the assembly of the rubber ring 33 and the turntable 31 rotates. The coil spring 34 twists and accumulates elastic potential energy. As the assembly of the turntable 31 and the rubber ring 33 rotates, the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33, which is furthest from the axis of the turntable 31, gradually approaches the side of the hard disk 4 and the side of the hard disk 4 is squeezed against each other, thereby gradually increasing the squeezing force on the side of the hard disk 4. The hard disk 4 is clamped by this squeezing force. When the circumferential surface of the rubber ring 33, which is furthest from the axis of the turntable 31, is against the side of the hard disk 4, the end of the limiting rod 37 is inserted into the limiting groove 35 opened on the surface of the rubber ring 33 under the elastic action of the tension spring 38, which locks the assembly of the rubber ring 33 and the turntable 31, inhibits the assembly of the turntable 31 and the rubber ring 33 from continuing to rotate, and keeps the rubber ring 33 in a clamping state on the hard disk 4.

[0034] During the process of inserting the hard disk 4 into the slot 12, the end of the hard disk 4 presses against the tension spring 38 provided on the front side of the sleeve 23. The sleeve 23 slides backward along the surface of the connecting metal piece 22. The scraper 231 scrapes the surface of the connecting metal piece 22, causing dust and oxide layers on the surface of the connecting metal piece 22 to be scraped off. During the backward movement of the sleeve 23, the connecting rod 26 slides into the inside of the sleeve 25, and the spring 27 is compressed to accumulate elastic potential energy. At the same time, the free end of the connecting metal piece 22 is exposed from the front of the sleeve 23 and inserted into the socket 41 provided at the end of the hard disk 4. Through the setting of the stop bar 28, there is a gap between the sleeve 23 and the hard disk 4. The heat generated at the connection between the socket 41 and the connecting metal piece 22 can be dissipated through the socket 41 and the gap between the sleeve 23 and the hard disk 4, and then discharged through the heat dissipation hole 16.

[0035] When it is necessary to remove the hard drive 4, the limiting rod 37 is pulled outward to separate it from the limiting groove 35, thereby releasing the limiting effect on the turntable 31 and the rubber ring 33 assembly. Then, the hard drive 4 is pulled outward to remove it from the fixing box 1. After the socket 41 separates from the connecting metal piece 22, the sleeve 23 moves forward along the surface of the connecting metal piece 22 under the elastic action of the spring 27, and covers the free end of the connecting metal piece 22 again for protection.

[0036] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
