With the increasing demand for production capacity, it is an inevitable research topic to improve production quality and ensure production efficiency. Especially during the assembly process of the 5456H6 server, when installing the backplane onto the backplane bracket, due to the lack of a handle for assistance, it is impossible to apply force, making it very difficult to install, and it is also easy to damage the components on the backplane, reducing both work efficiency and operation quality. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a server hard disk backplane installation tooling and its usage method. The installation tooling has a reasonable and compact structure. By driving the pressing block to press down through a lead screw, the installation action can be realized slowly and easily, and the position can be controlled. Through the installation using this tooling, the operation efficiency is improved and the operation quality is enhanced.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is: a server hard disk backplane installation tooling, whose structure includes a base, a driving component, a backplane bracket fixing block, a screw rod rotating and moving block, a connecting plate, a screw rod, and a clamping jaw block. The base is a frame structure, and the screw rod rotating and moving block is slidably connected within the frame. The clamping jaw block is arranged outside one side of the base, and the upper part of the clamping jaw block is connected to the screw rod rotating and moving block. The driving component is arranged above the base. One end of the screw rod passes through the upper fixing plate of the base and the screw rod rotating and moving block and is threadedly connected to the base bottom plate. The other end of the screw rod is connected to the driving component. A backplane bracket fixing block is arranged at the bottom of the base. The backplane bracket fixing block includes a fixing block body and a load-bearing block. The fixing block body is connected to the bottom wall of the base, and a plurality of load-bearing blocks are arranged outside the fixing block body. A card slot matching the backplane bracket is arranged on the upper part of the load-bearing block.

[0005] Further, the base includes a fixed U-shaped plate and an upper fixing plate. The top open end of the fixed U-shaped plate is connected to the upper fixing plate, and threaded holes matching the screw rod are respectively arranged on the bottom walls of the upper fixing plate and the fixed U-shaped plate.

[0006] Further, tracks are respectively arranged on the corresponding inner sides of the vertical plates on both sides of the base. The tracks are slidably matched with the connecting plate. The connecting plate is L-shaped. The vertical plate of the connecting plate is slidably connected to the track, and the horizontal plate of the connecting plate is connected to the screw rod rotating and moving block.

[0007] Further, the screw rotation moving block includes a block body. Installation grooves for mating connection with the jaw blocks are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the block body, and a through hole for threaded engagement with the screw is provided at the center of the block body.

[0008] Further, the driving assembly includes a handle and a rocker. One end of the rocker is connected to the handle, and the other end of the rocker is connected to the upper end of the screw.

[0009] Further, the jaw block includes a jaw body, an upper jaw, and a lower jaw. The upper jaw for connection with the screw rotation moving block is provided at the upper part of one side of the jaw body, and the lower jaw for mating insertion with the opening of the backplane is provided at the lower part of one side of the jaw body.

[0010] A method for using a server hard disk backplane installation tooling includes the following steps:

[0011] (1). First, install the backplane on the corresponding screws of the backplane bracket;

[0012] (2). Push the backplane installation tooling horizontally from the back side of the backplane bracket so that the upper part of the backplane bracket is inserted into the backplane bracket fixing block, and the backplane bracket fixing block and the fixed U-shaped plate of the base clamp the backplane bracket;

[0013] (3). Then, insert the upper jaw of the jaw block into the screw rotation moving block, and place the lower jaw of the jaw block into the corresponding opening of the backplane;

[0014] (4). Shake the handle. The handle drives the rotating rocker and the screw to rotate. The rotation of the screw drives the screw rotation moving block to move downward. The downward movement of the screw rotation moving block drives the jaw block to move downward. The downward movement of the jaw block presses the backplane, so that the backplane is inserted into the main board slot;

[0015] (5). Determine that the backplane gold fingers are inserted in place according to the number of turns of the handle;

[0016] (6). Remove the jaw block, push out the tooling, and the installation of the hard disk backplane is completed.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0018] The hard disk backplane installation tooling of the present invention has a reasonable and compact structure. By controlling the rotation of the screw through the rocker, the rotation of the screw drives the moving block to move downward, and the downward movement of the moving block drives the jaw block to move downward. The downward movement of the jaw block presses the backplane to achieve the purpose of backplane installation, and the position can be controlled. Through the installation of this tooling, the operation efficiency is improved and the operation quality is enhanced. It solves the problems that there is no handle on the existing server backplane, it is difficult to apply force when inserting the backplane gold fingers into the main board slot, and it is easy to damage the components on the backplane when grasping and pressing the backplane with fingers, resulting in damage to the backplane.

[0019] By determining the relationship between the number of rotations of the screw and the distance of downward movement, the depth distance of the backplane gold finger inserted into the motherboard slot can be accurately ensured, realizing controllable movement position, and ensuring that the backplane or the motherboard is not damaged by over-insertion, resulting in component damage.

[0020] Since linear tracks are provided on both sides of the fixed U-shaped plate, through the guidance of the linear slide rails, it is ensured that the screw rotating moving block moves vertically during the ascending and descending processes without rotational distortion or deviation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0032] The following is a detailed description of a server hard disk backplane installation tool and its usage method according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0033] As Figures 1 to 9As shown in the figure, a mounting tool for a server hard disk backplane according to the present invention has a structure including a base, a driving component, a backplane support fixing block 10, a screw rotating and moving block 3, a connecting plate 4, a screw 2, and a jaw block 7. The base is a frame structure, and the screw rotating and moving block 3 is slidably connected within the frame. The jaw block 7 is provided outside one side of the base. The upper part of the jaw block 7 is connected to the screw rotating and moving block 3. The driving component is provided above the base. One end of the screw 2 passes through the upper fixing plate of the base and the screw rotating and moving block and is threadedly connected to the base bottom plate. The other end of the screw is connected to the driving component. A backplane support fixing block is provided at the bottom of the base. The driving component drives the screw to rotate, the screw drives the moving block to move downward, the downward movement of the moving block drives the jaw block to move downward, and the jaw block moves downward to press the backplane, achieving the purpose of backplane installation.

[0034] As Figure 2 shown, the base includes a fixed U-shaped plate 1 and an upper fixing plate 6. The top open end of the fixed U-shaped plate 1 is connected to the upper fixing plate 6. Threaded holes for cooperating with the screw 2 are respectively provided on the bottom walls of the upper fixing plate 6 and the fixed U-shaped plate 1. Corresponding inner sides of the vertical plates on both sides of the base are respectively provided with tracks 5. The tracks 5 are slidably mated with the connecting plate. The connecting plate 4 is L-shaped. The vertical plate of the connecting plate 4 is slidably connected to the track 5. The horizontal plate of the connecting plate 4 is connected to the screw rotating and moving block 3. The up and down movement of the screw rotating and moving block 3 drives the connecting plate 4 to slide up and down along the tracks 5 on both sides of the base. Through the guidance of the linear slide rails on both sides, it is ensured that the screw rotating and moving block 3 maintains vertical movement during the up and down process and does not undergo rotational distortion or deviation.

[0035] Both the upper and lower ends of the screw 2 are installed on bearings. The lower bearing is fixed on the fixed U-shaped plate 1, and the upper bearing is fixed on the upper fixing plate 6, and concentricity is ensured.

[0036] As Figure 5 shown, the screw rotating and moving block 3 includes a block body 31. Corresponding both sides of the block body 31 are respectively provided with mounting grooves 33 for cooperating with the jaw block. A threaded hole 32 for threadedly cooperating with the screw is provided at the center of the block.

[0037] The driving component includes a handle 9 and a rotating rocker 8. One end of the rotating rocker 8 is connected to the handle 9, and the other end of the rocker is connected to the upper end of the screw 2. An external hexagon is provided above the screw 2, and a corresponding internal hexagon is provided on the screw rotating rocker 8, and the accuracy is guaranteed to be greater than 0.2 mm, so that it can be smoothly inserted and will not shake. A handle 9 is installed on the screw rotating rocker 8. By rotating the handle 9, the rotational movement of the screw can be easily achieved through the lever principle.

[0038] As Figure 8As shown in the figure, the backplane support fixing block 10 includes a fixing block body 101 and a load-bearing block 102. The fixing block body 101 is connected to the bottom wall of the base. A plurality of load-bearing blocks are provided on the outer side of the fixing block body. A card slot 103 that cooperates with the backplane support fixing block is provided on the upper part of the load-bearing block. The upper part of the backplane support is placed on the backplane support fixing block in a clamped manner.

[0039] As Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the jaw block 7 includes a jaw body 71, an upper jaw 72 and a lower jaw 73. An upper jaw 72 that cooperates with the mounting grooves on both sides of the screw rotating and moving block 3 is provided on the upper part of one side of the jaw body 71. The unilateral precision of the upper jaw 72 ensures a gap of 0.1 mm, ensuring smooth insertion. A lower jaw 73 that is inserted into the backplane opening in a matching manner is provided on the lower part of one side of the jaw body 71.

[0040] A method for using a server hard disk backplane installation tooling and its usage method includes the following steps:

[0041] (1). First, install the backplane on the corresponding screws of the backplane support.

[0042] (2). Push the backplane installation tooling horizontally from the back side of the backplane support, so that the upper part of the backplane support is inserted into the backplane support fixing block, and the fixing U-shaped plate of the backplane support fixing block and the base just clamps the backplane support.

[0043] (3). Then, insert the upper jaw of the jaw block into the screw rotating and moving block, and place the lower jaw of the jaw block into the corresponding backplane opening.

[0044] (4). Shake the handle. The handle drives the rotating rocker and the screw to rotate. The rotation of the screw drives the screw rotating and moving block to move downward. The downward movement of the screw rotating and moving block drives the jaw block to move downward. The downward movement of the jaw block presses the backplane, so that the backplane is inserted into the main board slot.

[0045] (5). By determining the relationship between the number of rotation circles of the screw and the downward movement distance, the depth distance of the backplane gold finger inserted into the main board slot can be accurately ensured, the moving position can be controlled, and over-insertion damage to the backplane or the main board, resulting in component damage, can be avoided.

[0046] (6). Remove the jaw block, push out the tooling, and the hard disk backplane installation is completed.

[0047] The hard disk backplane installation tooling of the present invention has a reasonable and compact structure. By driving the pressing block to press down through the lead screw, the installation action can be realized slowly and easily, and the position can be controlled. Through the installation of this tooling, the operation efficiency is improved and the operation quality is improved.

[0048] As described above, only some principles of the present invention are illustrated by diagrams. This specification is not intended to limit the present invention to the specific structures and applicable scopes shown and described. Therefore, all possible corresponding modifications and equivalents that can be utilized belong to the scope of the patent applied for by the present invention.
