Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of memory, in particular to a disk frame and a cabinet applying the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] The high-density disk frame is a kind of storage server, which is used to accommodate more hard disks in the same cabinet as much as possible. The disk frame is divided into a disk area and a control area. The disk area is usually arranged with M columns from front to back, and each column has N disks. Therefore, the total number of disks supported by the whole disk frame is M*N.
[0003] Obviously, the larger M is, the more columns there are, and the deeper the disk frame is. However, the disk frame is to be installed in the IT (Internet Technology) cabinet in the data center. In the existing data center, the cabinet depth is usually 600mm, 800mm, 1000mm, 1100mm, 1200mm, etc. Therefore, for cabinets with different depths, the depth of the disk frame that can be supported is different, so the number of columns of the disk frame needs to adapt to different cabinet depths.
[0004] However, the number of columns of the existing disk frame is usually fixed. Therefore, once the disk frame is manufactured, its depth is also fixed, and it can only meet the limited depth specifications of the cabinet. For example, a 1000mm deep disk frame can only be installed in a 1200mm deep cabinet considering the external cables of the disk frame. It cannot be installed in a cabinet with a smaller depth. If the disk frame is to be adapted to more depth cabinets, the depth of the disk frame can only be made smaller. However, in this case, the number of columns of the disk frame is small, and the number of disks contained in the same disk frame is much smaller. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0038] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments.
[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] It should be understood that every reference made throughout this specification to "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. Thus, appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.
[0041] With reference to Figures 1 to 10 , a disk frame embodiment of the application is shown, which comprises a control area base 2 and a plurality of detachably connected disk area bases 1.

[0043] As shown in Figures 2 to 3 , by providing the control area base 2 and the plurality of detachably connected disk area bases 1, the segmented design of the disk frame is realized, and each column of disk area bases 1 can be independently detachably connected with the control area base 2 to form a complete disk frame, or a plurality of columns of disk area bases 1 can be connected with each other and then detachably connected with the control area base 2 to form a complete disk frame.
[0044] As shown in Figure 1 , in a specific embodiment, after the control area base 2 and the disk area bases 1 are combined, the control area base 2 and the disk area bases 1 can be fixed by a locking member 4, for example, a locking screw, to avoid loosening of the combined control area base 2 and disk area bases 1.
[0045] The control area base 2 is provided with a control interface 22 into which one end of a cable 5 is plugged; the disk area base 1 is provided with a disk interface 13 into which a disk 3 is plugged and a cable 5 interface 12 into which the other end of the cable 5 is plugged, and the disk interface 13 and the cable 5 interface 12 are signal connected.
[0046] As shown in Figure 7 , by providing the control interface 22, the disk interface 13, and the cable 5 interface 12 and plugging the cable 5 between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12, signal connection between the control area base 2 and the disk 3 plugged into the disk area base 1 is realized, thereby functionally forming a complete storage server.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present application, the first plug structure 11 includes a first socket 111 and a first plug 112, and the disk area base 1 is provided with the first socket 111 on one side and the first plug 112 on the other side; the second plug structure 21 includes a second socket 211, and the control area base 2 is provided with the second socket 211 on one side, or the second plug structure 21 includes a second plug, and the control area base 2 is provided with the second plug on one side.
[0048] By setting the socket and the plug, the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 are efficiently combined and docked, which is more convenient for detachable connection of the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1, so that the number of columns of the required disk area base 1 can be adjusted more efficiently to adjust the number of columns of the disk group.
[0049] The setting mode of the socket and the plug is exemplarily described as follows:
[0050] As shown in Figure 4 , the disk area base 1 is provided with the first socket 111 on one side and the first plug 112 on the other side, and as shown in Figure 5 , the control area base 2 is provided with the second socket 211 on one side.
[0051] By inserting the first plug 112 on the other side of one disk area base 1 into the second socket 211 on one side of the control area base 2, the disk area base 1 and the control area base 2 are detachably connected; then by sleeving the first socket 111 on one side of the disk area base 1 on the first plug 112 on the other side of another disk area base 1, and then by sleeving the first socket 111 on one side of the other disk area base 1 on the first plug 112 on the other side of the other disk area base 1, the disk area bases 1 are detachably connected in the above-mentioned manner, so that the number of columns of the required disk area base 1 can be adjusted more efficiently to adjust the number of columns of the disk group, and the disk frame can be expanded or reduced more conveniently.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the plate body 14 for fixing the disk is vertically extended on the edge of the disk area base 1 farthest from the control area base 2 and away from the control area base 2.
[0053] By vertically extending the plate body 14 on the edge of the disk area base 1 farthest from the control area base 2 and away from the control area base 2, the plate body 14 can act together with the control area base 2 to fix the disks 3 inserted into each disk area base 1 from two opposite directions.

[0055] Since it is the disk area base 1 farthest from the control area base 2 and the last disk area base 1 to be detachably connected, the side of the disk area base 1 where the plate 14 is provided does not need to be provided with a plug-in structure, thereby further improving the rigidity of the overall structure.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, baffles 15 for fixing the disk 3 are formed on both ends of the disk area base 1 and extend vertically.
[0057] By forming baffles 15 extending vertically from both end edges of the disk area base 1 , the disks 3 plugged into each disk area base 1 can be fixed from two other opposite directions.
[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the baffle 15 and the disk area base 1 can be integrated to further improve the rigidity of the overall structure and strengthen the fixing effect on the disk 3.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a main control module 23 for controlling the operation of the disk 3 is further provided on the control area base 2 .

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, a power supply 24 for supplying power to the disk 3 is further provided on the control area base 2 .
[0064] Through setting the power supply 24, the unified power supply for each column of disk groups and the main control module 23 is realized, so as to provide power for the whole disk frame to make it work normally.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, the control area base 2 is further provided with a fan 25 for heat dissipation.
[0066] Through setting the fan 25, the heat dissipation of the disk frame is realized, so as to avoid the influence on normal operation due to the high temperature in the disk frame.
[0067] The specific examples of the above disk frame are exemplarily described as follows:
[0068] In the specific examples, the following combinations can exist:
[0069] As shown in FIG. 1, when the cabinet needs only one column of disk groups, the disk area base 1 provided with the plate body 14 on one side and the first plug block 112 on the other side is detachably connected with the control area base 2 to form a complete disk frame.

[0073] Furthermore, the plug hole and the plug block are arranged, the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 are efficiently combined and connected, the detachable connection of the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 is more convenient, and the number of columns of the required disk area base 1 is more efficiently adjusted, so that the number of columns of the disk group is adjusted.
[0074] Referring to Figures 11 to 14 Another embodiment of the present application is shown, which comprises a control area base 2 and a plurality of detachably connected disk area bases 1.
[0075] The opposite sides of the disk area base 1 are provided with a first plug-in structure 11 for detachable connection, and one side of the control area base 2 is provided with a second plug-in structure 21 for detachable connection, one side of one of the disk area bases 1 is detachably connected with the control area base 2, and the other side is detachably connected with the remaining disk area bases 1.
[0076] The control area base 2 and a plurality of detachably connected disk area bases 1 are arranged, the segmented design of the disk frame is realized, each column of the disk area base 1 can be independently detachably connected with the control area base 2 to form a complete disk frame, or a plurality of columns of the disk area bases 1 are connected with each other, and then detachably connected with the control area base 2 to form a complete disk frame.
[0077] The control interface 22 of one end of the plug-in cable 5 is arranged on the control area base 2; the disk interface 13 for plug-in disk 3 and the cable 5 interface 12 for plug-in cable 5 of the other end are arranged on the disk area base 1, and the disk interface 13 is signal connected with the cable 5 interface 12.
[0078] The signal connection between the control area base 2 and the disks 3 inserted on the disk area base 1 is realized by setting the control interface 22, the disk interface 13, the cable 5 interface 12, and inserting the cable 5 between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12, thereby functionally forming a complete storage server.
[0079] The disk area base 1 is further provided with an expansion chip 6 connected to each disk interface 13 and cable 5 interface 12, and the disk interface 13 and the cable 5 interface 12 form a signal connection through the expansion chip 6, and the expansion chip 6 is used to reduce the signal bandwidth between the cable 5 interface 12 and the control interface 22.
[0080] As shown in Figure 12 By setting the expansion chip 6, the signal bandwidth between the cable 5 interface 12 and the control interface 22 is reduced, thereby reducing the number of cables 5 required to be inserted between the cable 5 interface 12 and the control interface 22 and the wire diameter of the cable 5, and further making the disk frame have more space for inserting the disks 3, avoiding that the space occupied by the cable 5 is too large, resulting in that the disk interfaces 13 on the disk area base 1 cannot be fully inserted.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present application, the first insertion structure 11 includes a first insertion hole 111 and a first insertion block 112, and the disk area base 1 is provided with the first insertion hole 111 on one side and the first insertion block 112 on the other side; the second insertion structure 21 includes a second insertion hole 211, and the control area base 2 is provided with the second insertion hole 211 on one side, or the second insertion structure 21 includes a second insertion block, and the control area base 2 is provided with the second insertion block on one side.
[0082] By setting the above insertion hole and insertion block, the efficient combination of the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 is realized, and the detachable connection of the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 is more convenient, thereby more efficiently adjusting the number of columns of the required disk area base 1 to adjust the number of columns of the disk group.
[0083] In some embodiments of the present application, a plate body 14 for fixing the disks is vertically extended on the side edge of the disk area base 1 farthest from the control area base 2 away from the control area base 2.
[0084] By setting the plate body 14 vertically extended on the side edge of the disk area base 1 farthest from the control area base 2 away from the control area base 2, the plate body 14 can act together with the control area base 2 to fix the disks 3 inserted on each disk area base 1 from two opposite directions.
[0085] In some embodiments of the present application, a baffle 15 for fixing the disks 3 is vertically extended on the two end edges of the disk area base 1.
[0086] The baffle 15 is formed by vertically extending on the two end edges of the disk area base 1, so that the disks 3 inserted on each disk area base 1 can be fixed from two opposite directions
[0087] In some embodiments of the present application, the PCB bottom plate 16 is arranged on the disk area base 1, and the disk interface 13 and the cable 5 interface 12 are arranged on the PCB bottom plate 16; and / or, the PCB back plate 26 is arranged on the control area base 2, and the control interface 22 is arranged on the PCB back plate 26.

[0090] Through the arrangement of the above-mentioned socket and plug, the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1 are efficiently combined and connected, which is more convenient for the detachable connection of the control area base 2 and the disk area base 1, so as to more efficiently adjust the number of columns of the required disk area base 1, and adjust the number of columns of the disk group.
[0091] In some embodiments of the present application, the control area base 2 is further provided with a main control module 23 for controlling the operation of the disk 3.
[0092] Through the arrangement of the above-mentioned main control module 23 as the control end of the controller base, the unified control and management of each column of disk group are realized, and each column of disk group is functionally associated as a whole, thereby forming a complete storage server.
[0093] In some embodiments of the present application, the control area base 2 is further provided with a power supply 24 for supplying power to the disk 3.
[0094] Through the arrangement of the above-mentioned power supply 24, the unified power supply of each column of disk group and the main control module 23 is realized, thereby providing power for the entire disk frame to enable normal operation.
[0095] In some embodiments of the present application, the control area base 2 is further provided with a fan 25 for heat dissipation.
[0096] Through the arrangement of the above-mentioned fan 25, the heat dissipation of the disk frame is realized, thereby avoiding the influence on normal operation due to the high temperature in the disk frame.
[0097] The following is an exemplary description of the beneficial effects that can be achieved by setting the expansion chip 6:
[0098] As shown in Figure 13 If the maximum number of disks that can be accommodated by each column of disk zone base 1 is 15, and 15 disks are inserted into each column of disk zone base 1, then in the case of cable 5 insertion through the traditional signal connection method, and if the signal bandwidth of each disk is X1, then X15 sets of signal bandwidth need to be transmitted between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12, so 15 sets of cable 5 need to be inserted between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12, resulting in a large number of cable 5 being required, and the cable 5 being very thick. Therefore, when the number of required disk groups is large, the number of cable 5 will increase exponentially.
[0099] In order to solve the problem of excessive number of cables 5 occupying too much space, an expansion chip 6 is provided on each column of disk zone base 1. The function of the expansion chip 6 is to expand the single set of signal bandwidth of the control interface 22, so that a set of signal bandwidth of the control interface 22 can be connected to multiple sets of signal bandwidth of the cable 5 interface 12. As shown in Figure 14 Originally, the cable 5 was inserted through the traditional signal connection method, and 15 sets of cable 5 needed to be inserted between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12. After the expansion chip 6 is set, the control interface 22 only needs to be connected to X4 or X8 sets of signal bandwidth, i.e. only 4 or 8 sets of cable 5 need to be inserted between the control interface 22 and the cable 5 interface 12, greatly reducing the number of cable 5 that needs to be inserted, thereby freeing up more space in the disk frame for disk insertion.
[0100] In a specific embodiment, the expansion chip 6 described above can be an expander expansion chip 6, and more specifically, the expansion chip 6 can be provided on the PCB board 16 of the disk zone base 1.
