Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of server hard disk, and particularly relates to a server hard disk clamping mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current information technology industry, the security, stability and reliability of information are increasingly important, and a server is a computer with higher performance. Due to its excellent characteristics, the server is playing an increasingly important role in the market and is increasingly widely used in the market. The server hard disk is the core of network data, and all software and user data are stored in the server hard disk.

[0003] In the related art, manufacturers usually use a hard disk box as a carrier for various hard disks. In order to ensure the safety of the hard disk, the manufacturer designs a buckle switch for the hard disk box. Specifically, an opening is arranged at the front end of the hard disk box, a cover plate is arranged at the opening, one end of the cover plate is hinged to the hard disk box, and the buckle switch is arranged between the cover plate and the hard disk box. The other end of the cover plate is provided with a clamping tongue, the clamping tongue is pressed along the length direction of the cover plate, the clamping tongue is pressed from the locked position to the unlocked position, the buckle switch is unlocked, and the cover plate loses the locking and can be automatically rotated and opened. In the manual assembly step of installing the hard disk in the server case, after the server case and the hard disk are delivered, the operator needs to take the hard disk from the box, at this time, the hard disk has been assembled with the hard disk box in advance, the clamping tongue at the front end of the hard disk box is manually pressed, and then according to the SOP (Standard Operating Procedure, operating instruction book), the position where the hard disk needs to be installed is found, and the hard disk is manually inserted into the server case.

[0004] However, the buckle switch increases the complexity of the server hard disk installation step, and the manual assembly of the hard disk is relatively cumbersome, and needs to be taken, the buckle is opened, and the hard disk is assembled, so that the efficiency of the manual assembly of the hard disk is low. SUMMARY

[0005] Therefore, a server hard disk clamping mechanism is provided to solve the problem that the steps of taking the hard disk and unlocking the hard disk are relatively complex when the hard disk box with the buckle switch is used, so as to provide a server hard disk clamping mechanism and improve the efficiency of the assembly of the server hard disk.

[0006] A server hard disk clamping mechanism comprises:

[0007] A connecting plate is used to connect an external driving member.

[0008] A clamping assembly is installed on the connecting plate, and the clamping assembly is used to clamp the hard disk.

[0009] An open buckle mechanism is installed on the clamping assembly. When the clamping assembly clamps the hard disk, the open buckle mechanism abuts against the card tongue of the hard disk to open the buckle of the hard disk.

[0010] According to the server hard disk clamping mechanism, the server hard disk clamping mechanism is installed on the external driving member such as a mechanical arm through the connecting plate. The driving member drives the server hard disk clamping mechanism to move close to the hard disk material. The clamping mechanism clamps the hard disk, and the open buckle mechanism abuts against the card tongue of the hard disk to open the buckle of the hard disk. The server hard disk clamping mechanism replaces manual operation to complete the open buckle and hard disk clamping steps, simplifies the work of installing the hard disk on the server, and simultaneously completes the clamping and open buckle actions of the hard disk, shortens the operation time in the intelligent assembly process, and improves the efficiency of the server hard disk assembly.

[0011] In one of the embodiments, the clamping assembly comprises:

[0012] The finger clamping jaw comprises a first clamping jaw and a second clamping jaw.

[0013] The clamping jaw cylinder is used to drive the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to move away from or close to each other. The clamping jaw cylinder drives the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to move away from each other, moves the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to the two sides of the hard disk, and then drives the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to move close to each other until the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw abut against the outer walls of the two sides of the hard disk, thereby achieving the clamping work of the finger clamping jaw on the hard disk. The clamping action of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw is relatively stable, labor is saved, and efficiency is improved.

[0014] In one of the embodiments, the open buckle mechanism is connected with one of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw. The clamping jaw cylinder is configured to drive one of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to move away from or close to the other one of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw at the same time as the open buckle mechanism. When the clamping jaw cylinder drives one of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw to move, the open buckle mechanism also moves at the same time, so that the open buckle mechanism shares the same drive with the first clamping jaw or the second clamping jaw. No additional drive needs to be additionally arranged, costs are saved, and the overall mechanism of the server hard disk clamping mechanism is more compact and convenient to use.

[0015] In one of the embodiments, the open buckle mechanism comprises:

[0016] The fixed plate is detachably connected with the first clamping jaw.

[0017] The open card buckle plate is fixedly connected with the fixed plate, and a contact surface is arranged on the side wall of the open card buckle plate away from the first clamping jaw, the contact surface has a contact point abutting against the card tongue of the hard disk, and the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw clamp the hard disk while the contact point presses the card tongue of the hard disk to the unlocking position. The fixed plate is used for fixing the open card buckle mechanism on the first clamping jaw, and the fixed plate and the first clamping jaw are arranged in detachable connection, so that the fixed plate can be replaced according to the use condition of hard disks of different models, the open card buckle mechanism has higher applicability, and maintenance and replacement are facilitated. The contact surface of the open card buckle plate serves as an execution structure abutting against the card tongue, and performs a pressing action on the card tongue, so that the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw clamp the hard disk stably while the card tongue is pressed to the unlocking position.

[0018] In one of the embodiments, a rotating space for the cover plate of the hard disk to rotate is arranged between the contact surface and the second clamping jaw. Since the cover plate of the hard disk is in a hinged connection relationship with the hard disk box, when the card tongue is in the unlocking position, the buckle of the hard disk is unlocked, and the cover plate that loses the locking can rotate along the hinge point. The rotating space provides space for the cover plate to rotate, avoids the situation that the cover plate cannot rotate and pop open although the card tongue has been pressed to the unlocking position, and improves the smoothness of the cover plate to open.

[0019] In one of the embodiments, the contact surface is arranged to be inclined, so that the open card buckle plate has a wedge-shaped structure. The inclined arrangement of the contact surface further increases the volume of the rotating space, thereby further improving the smoothness of the cover plate to open. At the same time, after the open card buckle plate is arranged to have a wedge-shaped structure, the volume of the end of the open card buckle plate used for abutting against the card tongue is reduced, so that the open card buckle plate has more operation space, the movement of the open card buckle plate is more flexible, and the situation that the end of the open card buckle plate is accidentally touched and affects the normal work of clamping the hard disk is avoided.

[0020] In one of the embodiments, a positioning groove for the hard disk box of the hard disk to be clamped is arranged on the opposite side walls of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw. When the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw are driven by the clamping cylinder to approach each other until the hard disk is clamped, after the positioning groove is arranged, the hard disk box is directly clamped into the positioning groove, so that the clamping work of the first clamping jaw and the second clamping jaw on the hard disk is more stable, the position of the hard disk relative to the clamping assembly is also more accurate, the position accuracy of the clamping assembly when placing the hard disk is improved, and the quality of installing the hard disk of the server is improved.

[0021] In one of the embodiments, the connecting plate is provided with a visual positioning component for collecting position information of the hard disk and transmitting the position information to the controller of the driving member. The visual positioning component collects the position information of the hard disk in real time and transmits the information to the controller, so that the driving member drives the whole server hard disk clamping mechanism, so that it is more accurate and efficient for the clamping work of the server hard disk, and the efficiency of the server hard disk assembly is improved.

[0022] In one of the embodiments, the visual positioning component is provided with a visual light source for providing illumination for the visual positioning component and the hard disk. The visual light source can illuminate the hard disk, improve the brightness of the target hard disk, form an imaging effect conducive to image processing of the visual positioning component, overcome the interference of external environment light, and ensure the stability and data accuracy of the visual positioning component in collecting the position information of the hard disk.

[0023] In one of the embodiments, the connecting plate is provided with a connecting cantilever, one end of the connecting cantilever is fixedly connected with the connecting plate, the other end of the connecting cantilever extends to the side of the connecting plate, the connecting cantilever is connected with a connecting clamp, and the connecting clamp is used for connecting with the six-axis mechanical arm. The whole connecting plate is relatively integrated, the connecting position of the connecting plate and the six-axis mechanical arm is extended to the side of the connecting plate through the arrangement of the connecting cantilever and the connecting clamp, so that the server hard disk clamping mechanism has a wider installation space and installation position, the flexible installation and use of the server hard disk clamping mechanism are facilitated, and the influence of the server hard disk clamping mechanism on other component structures on the connecting plate during installation or disassembly is avoided as much as possible.

[0038] With the rapid development of the current information technology industry, as the core of network data, the demand for server hard disks and other basic devices is increasing. The present inventor has noticed that in the current server industry, manufacturers usually use hard disk boxes as carriers for various hard disks. In order to ensure the safety of the hard disk, the manufacturer designs a buckle switch for the hard disk box. Specifically, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a hard disk 200 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the hard disk 200 includes a hard disk box 210, an opening is provided at the front end of the hard disk box 210, a cover plate 220 is provided at the opening, one end of the cover plate 220 is hinged to the hard disk box 210, and a buckle switch is provided between the cover plate 220 and the hard disk box 210. The other end of the cover plate 220 is provided with a latch 221, the latch 221 is pressed along the length direction of the cover plate 220, the latch 221 is pressed from the locked position to the unlocked position, the buckle switch is unlocked, and after the cover plate 220 loses the lock, it can automatically rotate and pop open. In the manual assembly step of installing the hard disk 200 in the server case, after the server case and the hard disk 200 are delivered, the operator needs to take the hard disk 200 from the box, at this time the hard disk 200 has been assembled with the hard disk box 210 in advance, manually press the latch 221 at the front end of the hard disk box 210, then according to the SOP, find the position where the hard disk 200 needs to be installed, and manually insert the hard disk 200 into the server case.

[0039] However, the buckle switch adds some complexity to the server hard disk 200 installation step, on the one hand, the manual assembly hard disk 200 process is more cumbersome, and needs to be taken hard disk 200, open buckle, install hard disk 200 and other steps, so the manual assembly hard disk 200 is low in efficiency.

[0040] Based on the above considerations, in order to solve the problem of low efficiency and difficult to guarantee the quality of server hard disk assembly, the inventor designs a server hard disk clamping mechanism 100, which is connected to the external driving member. The server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 can automatically clamp and install the server hard disk. The structure is simple. The server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 replaces manual buckle opening and hard disk 200 clamping steps, improving the efficiency of server production in intelligent manufacturing.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 shows the structure schematic diagram of the server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 in the embodiment of the application, Figure 3 for Figure 2 the local enlarged schematic diagram of A, the server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 provided by the embodiment of the application includes a connecting plate 110, a clamping assembly 120 and a buckle opening mechanism 130. The connecting plate 110 is used for connecting the external driving member. The clamping assembly 120 is installed on the connecting plate 110, and the clamping assembly 120 is used for clamping the hard disk 200. The buckle opening mechanism 130 is installed on the clamping assembly 120. When the clamping assembly 120 clamps the hard disk 200, the buckle opening mechanism 130 abuts against the card tongue 221 of the hard disk 200 to open the buckle of the hard disk 200.

[0042] The server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 in the above embodiment is installed on the external driving member such as a mechanical arm through the connecting plate 110. The driving member drives the server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 to move close to the hard disk 200 material. The clamping mechanism clamps the hard disk 200 at the same time, and the buckle opening mechanism 130 abuts against the card tongue 221 of the hard disk 200 to open the buckle of the hard disk 200. The server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 replaces manual buckle opening and hard disk 200 clamping steps, simplifies the work of server hard disk 200 installation, and completes the clamping and buckle opening of the hard disk 200 at the same time, shortens the operation time in the intelligent assembly process, and improves the efficiency of server production in intelligent manufacturing.

[0043] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 4 shows the structure schematic diagram of the server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 in the embodiment of the application, Figure 5A partial schematic view of a server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 120 includes a finger gripper and a clamping cylinder 123. The finger gripper includes a first clamping jaw 121 and a second clamping jaw 122, and the clamping cylinder 123 is used to drive the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move away from or close to each other.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting plate 110 is provided with a mounting plate 1231, one end of which is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 110, and the other end is provided with a connecting block 1232. The connecting block 1232 is in the shape of an inverted T, one end of which is fixedly connected with the mounting plate 1231, and the other end is fixedly connected with the clamping cylinder 123. The clamping cylinder 123 is slidably connected with two sliding blocks 1233, which are respectively fixedly connected with the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122. In some embodiments, the fixing between the mounting plate 1231 and the connecting plate 110, the fixing between the connecting plate 110 and the mounting block, the fixing between the mounting block and the clamping cylinder 123, and the fixing between the sliding blocks 1233 and the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 are achieved by bolts, so that they can be disassembled, facilitating maintenance and flexible use. It can be understood that other fixing methods such as welding and riveting can also be used.

[0045] The clamping cylinder 123 uses compressed air as power to drive the two sliding blocks 1233 to move away from or close to each other, so as to drive the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move away from or close to each other, thereby serving as an execution device for clamping or grabbing workpieces.

[0046] In some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 121 is in the shape of an L-shaped plate, one shorter side of which is fixedly connected with one sliding block 1233, and one longer side of which extends away from the connecting plate 110. The second clamping jaw 122 has a structure similar to that of the first clamping jaw 121, and is fixedly connected with the other sliding block 1233.

[0047] The clamping cylinder 123 drives the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move away from each other, moves the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to the two sides of the hard disk 200, and then drives the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move close to each other until the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 respectively abut against the outer walls of the two sides of the hard disk 200, thereby achieving the clamping of the hard disk 200 by the finger gripper. The clamping action of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 is relatively stable, saving manpower and improving efficiency.

[0048] In some embodiments, the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 is connected to one of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122, and the clamping jaw cylinder 123 is configured to drive one of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move away from or close to the other one of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 simultaneously with the card opening and buckling mechanism 130.

[0049] Specifically, the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 is arranged on one of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122, and moves simultaneously when the clamping jaw cylinder 123 drives one of the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 to move. According to specific on-site use requirements, the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 is selectively arranged on the first clamping jaw 121 or the second clamping jaw 122, so that the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 shares the same drive with the first clamping jaw 121 or the second clamping jaw 122, without the need to additionally arrange other drives, thereby saving costs and making the overall mechanism of the server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 more compact and convenient to use.

[0050] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the end of the cover plate 220 is provided with a card tongue 221, and the card tongue 221 is close to the first clamping jaw 121 when the cover plate 220 is closed on the hard disk box 210. Therefore, the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 is arranged on the first clamping jaw 121, and the moving direction of the first clamping jaw 121 when clamping the hard disk 200 is consistent with the pressing direction of the card tongue 221 when the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 is opened and buckled. When the first clamping jaw 121 clamps the hard disk 200, it gradually approaches the outer wall of the hard disk 200, drives the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 to move together, presses the card tongue 221 to unlock the card buckle switch.

[0051] In some embodiments, the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 includes a fixed plate 131 and a card opening and buckling plate 132. The fixed plate 131 is detachably connected to the first clamping jaw 121, and in some embodiments, the detachable connection mode is selected to be bolted. The card opening and buckling plate 132 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 131, and in some embodiments, the card opening and buckling plate 132 is integrally formed with the fixed plate 131. It can be understood that the card opening and buckling plate 132 can also be separately manufactured and then fixedly connected. The side wall of the card opening and buckling plate 132 away from the first clamping jaw 121 is provided with a contact surface 1321, and the contact surface 1321 has a contact point abutting against the card tongue 221 of the hard disk 200. When the contact point presses the card tongue 221 of the hard disk 200 to the unlocking position, the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 clamp the hard disk 200.

[0052] The fixing plate 131 is used to fix the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 on the first clamping jaw 121, and the fixing plate 131 is detachably connected with the first clamping jaw 121, so that the fixing plate 131 can be replaced according to the use of different models of hard disks 200, so that the card opening and buckling mechanism 130 has higher applicability, and is convenient for maintenance and replacement. The contact surface 1321 of the card opening and buckling plate 132 serves as an execution structure abutting against the card tongue 221, and performs a pressing action on the card tongue 221, so that the card tongue 221 is pressed to the unlocking position, and at the same time, the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 stably clamp the hard disk 200.

[0053] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the contact surface 1321 and the second clamping jaw 122 are provided with a rotating space 1322 for rotation of the cover plate 220 of the hard disk 200, and the rotating space 1322 is provided for rotation of the cover plate 220 after unlocking. Since the cover plate 220 of the hard disk 200 is connected in a hinged connection relationship with the hard disk box 210, when the card tongue 221 is located at the unlocking position, the buckle of the hard disk 200 is unlocked, and the unlocked cover plate 220 rotates along the hinge point. The provision of the rotating space 1322 provides space for the rotation of the cover plate 220, avoids the situation that the cover plate 220 cannot be rotated and opened although the card tongue 221 has been pressed to the unlocking position, and improves the smoothness of opening of the cover plate 220.

[0054] Referring to Figure 5 In some embodiments, the contact surface 1321 is inclined, so that the card opening and buckling plate 132 has a wedge-shaped structure. By inclining the contact surface 1321, the volume of the rotating space 1322 is further increased, thereby further improving the smoothness of opening of the cover plate 220; at the same time, after the card opening and buckling plate 132 is provided in a wedge-shaped structure, the volume of the end of the card opening and buckling plate 132 used for abutting against the card tongue 221 is reduced, so that the card opening and buckling plate 132 has more operation space, the movement of the card opening and buckling plate 132 is more flexible, and the situation that the card opening and buckling plate 132 is accidentally touched and affects the normal work of clamping the hard disk 200 is avoided.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first clamping jaw 121 and the second clamping jaw 122 are provided with positioning grooves on the opposite side walls for clamping the hard disk box 210 of the hard disk 200. Specifically, the first clamping jaw 121 is provided with a first positioning groove 1211, and the second clamping jaw 122 is provided with a second positioning groove 1221. The inner wall of the first positioning groove 1211 abuts against one side of the outer wall of the hard disk box 210, and the inner wall of the second positioning groove 1221 abuts against the other side of the outer wall of the hard disk 200.

[0056] When the first jaw 121 and the second jaw 122 are driven by the jaw cylinder 123 to approach each other until the hard disk 200 is clamped, the positioning groove is arranged, the hard disk box 210 is directly clamped into the positioning groove, the clamping work of the first jaw 121 and the second jaw 122 on the hard disk 200 is more stable, the position of the hard disk 200 relative to the clamping assembly 120 is also more accurate, and the position accuracy of the clamping assembly 120 when placing the hard disk 200 is improved, and the quality of installing the server hard disk is improved.

[0057] It can be understood that in actual use of the hard disk 200 product, the outer wall of the hard disk box 210 can have some deformation structure, and the positioning groove can be designed to be a more fitted groove inner wall structure according to the specific shape of the outer wall of the hard disk box 210, so that the first jaw 121 and the second jaw 122 are more stable when clamping the hard disk 200.

[0058] Referring to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the connecting plate 110 is provided with a visual positioning assembly 140, which is used to collect position information of the hard disk 200 and transmit the position information to the controller of the driving part. Specifically, the visual positioning assembly 140 is arranged on the side of the connecting plate 110. The visual positioning assembly 140 collects the position information of the hard disk 200 in real time and transmits the information to the controller, so that the driving part drives the entire server hard disk clamping mechanism 100 to use, so that the clamping work on the server hard disk is more accurate and efficient, and the efficiency of assembling the server hard disk is improved.

[0059] In some embodiments, the visual positioning assembly 140 is provided with a visual light source 141, which provides illumination for the visual positioning assembly 140 and the hard disk 200. Specifically, the visual light source 141 generally adopts an LED light source or the like. The visual light source 141 can illuminate the hard disk 200, improve the brightness of the target hard disk 200, form an imaging effect that is conducive to image processing of the visual positioning assembly 140, overcome the interference of external environmental light, and ensure the stability and data accuracy of the visual positioning assembly 140 in collecting the position information of the hard disk 200.

[0060] In some embodiments, the connecting plate 110 is provided with a connecting cantilever 111, one end of the connecting cantilever 111 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 110, the other end extends to the side of the connecting plate 110, the connecting cantilever 111 is connected with a connecting clamp 112, the connecting clamp 112 is used for being connected with the six-axis mechanical arm, so that the whole connecting plate 110 is more integrated.
