Therefore, the computer server can also be said to be "organizing" and "leading" these devices.

[0003] Nowadays, in order to effectively achieve signal transmission of a hard disk inside a server, a hard disk backboard is usually mounted, and the storage information of the hard disk is transmitted through the hard disk backboard by connecting the hard disk to the hard disk backboard.

However, the size requirement of the connectors on the hard disk and the hard disk backboard for mutual connection is quite strict, and a slight error can easily affect the performance of the hard disk.

[0004] In addition to locking screws for fixation, the existing hard disk backboard design also has many tool-free fixation structure designs for the convenience of operation and maintenance. However, because the tool-free fixation structure needs a larger tolerance size, it is very easy to cause unstable information contact when the connectors on the hard disk and the hard disk backboard are connected.

The application sets the elastic fastener 4 and the fixed fastener 5, fixes the hard disk backboard 1 on the plurality of partitions 2 through the plurality of elastic fasteners 4, and limits the hard disk backboard 1 through the fixed fastener 5; after the hard disk backboard 1 is installed, the plurality of elastic fasteners 4 with the elastic arm 401 can support the hard disk backboard 1, and the elastic arm 401 can push the hard disk backboard 1 forward, the fixed fastener 5 fixed on the hard disk backboard 1 can be limited by the limiting arm 501 and the partition 2, thereby avoiding the hard disk backboard 1 from jumping upward, the elastic fastener 4 and the fixed fastener 5 can effectively control the assembly size tolerance while realizing tool-free installation, and avoid poor contact of the hard disk.

[0031] The limiting form of the limiting arm 501 and the partition 2 can be various forms, after installation, the end of the limiting arm 501 can be directly located at the lower end of the partition 2, in this way, the partition 2 can directly limit the upward movement of the limiting arm 501, thereby avoiding the hard disk backboard 1 from jumping upward. In another embodiment, a groove structure can be formed on the side of the upper end of the partition 2 towards the hard disk backboard 1, so that the end of the limiting arm 501 of the fixed fastener 5 can be inserted therein after installation, and this structure can also achieve the effect of limiting the hard disk backboard 1 from jumping upward. Of course, other structure forms can be selected in actual application, as long as the purpose of limiting the hard disk backboard 1 from jumping upward can be achieved, which is not limited in the application.

[0032] Specifically, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the fixing buckle 5 comprises a strip-shaped plate 502, one side of the strip-shaped plate 502 is sequentially provided with an elastic fixing part 503 and a push plate 504, the other side of the strip-shaped plate 502 is provided with a limiting arm 501, and the elastic fixing part 503 can extend into the second through hole 102. During installation, the side of the strip-shaped plate 502 provided with the elastic fixing part 503 and the push plate 504 faces the hard disk back plate 1, and the side provided with the limiting arm 501 faces the partition plate 2 and interacts with the partition plate 2 to avoid the hard disk back plate 1 from jumping upward. The elastic fixing part 503 comprises two fixing arms arranged at a distance from each other, one end of each of the two fixing arms is fixed to the strip-shaped plate 502, and the other end is an expansion end. During the extension of the elastic fixing part 503 into the second through hole 102, the two expansion ends are close to each other and pass through the second through hole 102. In the state that the elastic fixing part 503 is located in the second through hole 102, the expansion ends abut against the side of the hard disk back plate 1 away from the partition plate 2 to fix the fixing buckle 5 to the hard disk back plate 1. As can be seen, the shape and structure of the elastic fixing part 503 are typical tool-free detachable installation structures, and the two fixing arms with a certain elasticity are close to and away from each other to realize quick installation and disassembly. As can be seen from the figure, two elastic fixing parts 503 are arranged, so that the fixing of the fixing buckle 5 is more stable, of course, a plurality of elastic fixing parts 503, for example, three or more, can also be arranged, and the present application does not make specific limitation thereon. During specific installation, first, the elastic fixing part 503 is aligned with the second through hole 102 and is pushed with force. Under the action of the force, the two fixing arms arranged at a distance from each other are close to each other, and after being close to each other, the outer diameter thereof is reduced to pass through the second through hole 102; continue to push with force, when the two expansion ends pass through the second through hole 102, since the two fixing arms have a force away from each other, under the action of the force, the two expansion ends start to continuously move away until the outer side of the two fixing arms located in the second through hole 102 contacts the inner side wall of the second through hole 102. At this time, the outer diameter of the two expansion ends is greater than the inner diameter of the second through hole 102, and at this time, the installation is completed.

[0033] In another embodiment, the shape and structure of the elastic fixing part 503 can be arranged in other structural forms as long as the effect of tool-free detachable installation can be achieved, and the present application does not make specific limitation thereon.

[0034] In the embodiment, the second through hole 102 is arranged at the upper end of the hard disk back plate 1; a strip-shaped groove 103 is further arranged at the upper end surface of the hard disk back plate 1, and the push plate 504 is located in the strip-shaped groove 103 in the state that the fixing buckle 5 is fixed to the hard disk back plate 1, and the length of the strip-shaped groove 103 is greater than the width of the push plate 504. The existence of the strip-shaped groove 103 can avoid the interference of the upper end of the hard disk back plate 1 to the push plate 504, when it is needed to disassemble the hard disk back plate 1, the staff pushes the push plate 504 to move in the strip-shaped groove 103 for a distance, so that the limiting arm 501 on the other side is away from the partition plate 2, the limiting arm 501 is not in abutment with the partition plate 2, and the hard disk back plate 1 can be conveniently taken out. In the actual use process, the push plate 504 is moved in the strip-shaped groove 103 by horizontal pushing, and the entire fixing buckle 5 is moved, so that the limiting arm 501 is away from the limiting position of abutting the partition plate 2, so that the hard disk back plate 1 can be taken out. The fixing buckle 5 can be provided with a plurality of intervals according to the length of the hard disk back plate 1, and the specific number is not limited in the application.

[0035] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , one end of the elastic buckle 4 is provided with an elastic arm 401, the other end of the elastic buckle 4 is provided with two clamping rods 402 at intervals, and the opposite sides of the two clamping rods 402 are provided with limiting bosses 403, and the two sides of the partition plate 2 are provided with limiting grooves; in the state that one end of the elastic buckle 4 passes through the first through hole 101 and is fixed to the partition plate 2, the two clamping rods 402 are located on the two sides of the partition plate 2 and the limiting bosses 403 extend into the limiting grooves. The combination of the two clamping rods 402 clamping the partition plate 2 can make the connection between the hard disk back plate 1 and the partition plate 2 more stable, the shaking is reduced, the hard disk contact signal is more stable, and at the same time, the two clamping rods 402 have a certain elasticity, and tool-free installation can be realized. In the specific installation, first, the two clamping rods 402 provided with the two clamping rods 402 pass through the first through hole 101, the gap between the two clamping rods 402 is aligned with the partition plate 2, and under the action of the partition plate 2, the two clamping rods 402 are away from each other, and continue to force until the two limiting bosses 403 arranged opposite to each other on the two clamping rods 402 reach the limiting groove. Since the two clamping rods 402 have a force of approaching each other, the limiting bosses 403 can naturally enter the limiting grooves without external force, so that the elastic buckle 4 is installed.

[0036] The end of the elastic buckle 4 has an upward extending stop segment 404, the upper end of the elastic arm 401 is fixed to the top end of the stop segment 404, the elastic arm 401 extends downward and is arranged in a spaced manner with the stop segment 404, the elastic arm 401 is arranged in an arc structure, the arc structure can bear a larger and more stable force when being stressed. The stop segment 404 can play a role of stopping, when the elastic arm gives a force to the hard disk back plate 1 towards the partition plate 2, the elastic arm 401 will be subjected to an opposite force and bend towards the direction of the stop segment 404 and close to it, if the bending degree of the elastic arm 401 is too large, the elastic arm 401 will be broken, the stop segment 404 can avoid the elastic arm 401 from being bent too much and avoid the elastic arm 401 from being broken, and keep its effectiveness.

[0037] In another embodiment, the elastic arm 401 can also be arranged in other non-arc structures, such as a linear structure and the like; the limiting boss 403 is arranged in a circular protruding structure, and correspondingly, the limiting groove is also arranged in a circular groove structure, of course, the limiting boss 403 can also be arranged in a non-circular protruding structure, and correspondingly, the limiting groove should also be arranged in a non-circular groove structure, in actual application, it can be flexibly arranged according to actual conditions, and it is not limited to a circular boss, and the present application does not make a specific limitation hereon.

[0038] In order to make the installation more simple and fast, in the embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 , the lengths of the two clamping rods 402 are different and the two limiting bosses 403 are arranged in a staggered manner. The different lengths of the clamping rods 402 and the staggered arrangement of the limiting bosses 403 can facilitate the installation and disassembly. At the same time, in order to increase the elasticity of the two clamping rods 402 and reduce the cost, a rectangular through hole can be formed in the middle of the two clamping rods 403. The existence of the through hole can reduce the material cost as much as possible on the one hand, and can also increase the elasticity of the two clamping rods 403 on the other hand, so that the elastic buckle 4 can be quickly installed without consuming too much force during installation, and the purpose of simple and fast installation can be achieved. It should be noted that the distance between the two clamping rods 402 cannot be less than the width of the partition plate 2, but also cannot be greater than the relative distance between the two limiting bosses 403.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first through hole 101 is arranged as a strip hole, and the strip hole is arranged vertically on the hard disk back plate 1. The strip hole facilitates the installation and removal of the elastic buckle 4. The partition plate 2 is provided with a limiting folded edge 201 close to one side of the hard disk back plate 1. The bottom edge of the limiting folded edge 201 is flush with the upper end of the first through hole 101. Specifically, the first through hole 101 can be arranged in multiple in the horizontal direction, and can also be arranged in multiple in the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the first through hole 101 is arranged in two in the vertical direction. In another embodiment, the through hole 101 can be arranged in three, four, etc. in the vertical direction. The number of specific arrangements is not limited in this application. When the hard disk back plate 1 is installed, the plurality of elastic buckles 4 with elastic arms 401 can support the hard disk back plate 1, and the elastic arms 401 can push the hard disk back plate 1 forward. At the same time that the elastic arms 401 push forward, the limiting folded edge 201 can limit the depth of the forward push of the hard disk back plate 1, so that the movement of the hard disk back plate 1 is kept within a certain space, thereby effectively controlling the assembly size tolerance and avoiding poor hard disk contact signals.

[0040] Finally, it should be pointed out that in this embodiment, according to Figure 1 , the partition plate 2 can be seen to have multiple, of which the partition plates close to the two side edges of the case 3 are left and right partition plates, and the partition plate in the middle is a middle partition plate. Since the first through hole 101 cannot be arranged at a position opposite the left and right partition plates, the first through hole 101 has a certain offset distance from the left and right partition plates, while the middle partition plate does not have this problem. Therefore, the elastic buckles 4 arranged on the left and right sides are slightly different in structure from the elastic buckles 4 arranged in the middle, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the elastic buckles on the left and right sides have an additional bending portion 405 compared to the elastic buckles in the middle. The existence of the bending portion 405 can compensate for the distance between the left and right partition plates and the opposite first through hole 101.

[0041] As shown in Figures 1 to 6 , the working principle of the front-pushing hard disk back plate structure is as follows:

[0042] During installation, first, the hard disk backboard 1 is placed at the side of the partition plate 2 and the fixed fastener 5 and the elastic fastener 4 are installed, and no installation tool is needed during installation. First, the hard disk backboard 1 is fixed on the partition plate 2 through the elastic fastener 4, and the hard disk backboard 1 is limited through the fixed fastener 5; when the hard disk backboard 1 is installed, the elastic fastener 4 with the elastic arm 401 can support the hard disk backboard 1, and the elastic arm 401 can push the hard disk backboard 1 forward, and the fixed fastener 5 fixed on the hard disk backboard 1 can be limited by the limiting arm 501 and the partition plate 2, thereby avoiding the hard disk backboard 1 from jumping out upward, and the elastic fastener 4 and the fixed fastener 5 can effectively control the assembly size tolerance while realizing tool-free installation, and avoid the hard disk from being in poor contact with the signal; second, during specific installation of the elastic fixing piece 503, first, the elastic fixing piece 503 is aligned with the second through hole 102 and is pushed with force, and under the action of the force, the two fixed arms arranged at a relative interval are close to each other, and after being close to each other, the outer diameter thereof is reduced, so as to pass through the second through hole 102; continue to push, and when the two expansion ends pass through the second through hole 102, under the action of the force that the two fixed arms are away from each other, the two expansion ends start to continuously move away from each other until the outer side of the two fixed arms located in the second through hole 102 is in contact with the inner side wall of the second through hole 102, at this time, the outer diameter of the two expansion ends is greater than the inner diameter of the second through hole 102, at this time, the installation is completed; during specific installation of the elastic fastener 4, first, the two clamping rods 402 pass through the first through hole 101, the gap between the two clamping rods 402 is aligned with the partition plate 2 and is pushed with force, and under the action of the partition plate 2, the two clamping rods 402 are away from each other, continue to push until the two limiting bosses 403 arranged at a relative position on the two clamping rods 402 reach the limiting recess, and since the two clamping rods 402 have a force of approaching each other, the limiting boss 403 can naturally enter the limiting recess without external force, and thus the elastic fastener 4 is installed.

[0043] When the hard disk backboard 1 needs to be disassembled, the worker can push the push plate 504 to move in the strip-shaped groove 103 for a distance, so as to make the limiting arm 501 on the other side away from the partition plate 2, the limiting arm 501 is not in abutment with the partition plate 2, and the hard disk backboard 1 can be conveniently taken out. During actual use, the push plate 504 is horizontally pushed to move in the strip-shaped groove 103, thereby pushing the entire fixed fastener 5 to move, so that the limiting arm 501 is away from the limiting position of the partition plate 2, thereby the hard disk backboard 1 can be taken out. Therefore, no installation tool is needed during the entire disassembly process.

[0044] It can be seen from the above embodiment that the beneficial effects of the present application are:

[0045] 1.
