Hard drive mounting structure and server

Abstract

This application relates to the field of hardware assembly technology, and discloses a hard drive mounting structure and a server. By using a flip-top hard drive installation method, the hard drive is inserted into a slot on a flip-top component. The flip-top component, rotatably connected to a base, is then rotated back into a receiving slot on the base, allowing the hard drive to be installed at a certain angle into the receiving slot. Finally, by moving the flip-top component on the base, the hard drive interface is connected to the hard drive connector in the receiving slot, completing the hard drive installation. This reduces the space occupied by the hard drive during installation or removal, and allows the hard drive to be installed at an angle instead of perpendicular to the chassis or mounting location. This reduces the space required for hard drive installation when placing the chassis, improving space utilization.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of hardware assembly technology, specifically to a hard disk mounting and dismounting structure and a server. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the development of technology, people are increasingly relying on the combination and assembly of multiple electronic components in the application of electronic devices. This involves combining and assembling multiple electronic components to form a chassis to achieve multifunctional applications, so that the constructed chassis can simultaneously meet multiple needs in the same application scenario.

[0003] When assembling various electronic components into a chassis, hard drives are commonly required to store data generated or acquired during operation. Typically, multiple chassis equipped with hard drives can be placed in a single server room for easy management. If data migration, backup, or maintenance of the hard drives is needed, operators can disassemble the hard drives to further process the data. Currently, the common method for hard drive assembly is direct radial insertion into the chassis. If hard drive removal is required, sufficient space must be reserved in the direction of insertion. Since hard drives are often inflexible, the required space must be at least the maximum length of the hard drive along the insertion direction for easy removal. This severely limits the number of chassis that can be placed in a server room of the same size, significantly impacting space utilization. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, this application provides a hard disk mounting and dismounting structure and chassis to solve the problem that existing hard disk mounting and dismounting structures require too much space and result in low space utilization.

[0005] According to one aspect of the embodiments of this application, a hard disk mounting and dismounting structure is provided, comprising: a base and a flipping member; the base has a receiving groove on one side along a first direction, the base is used to install on the inner wall of a chassis, and the opening of the receiving groove faces the wall of the chassis; a hard disk connector is provided at one end of the receiving groove along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; the flipping member is disposed in the receiving groove and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove along the second direction, the flipping member being used to form a rotatable connection with the inner wall of the receiving groove along the second direction when sliding away from the hard disk connector relative to the receiving groove to a first position, and the rotation of the flipping member... The axis is parallel to a third direction, which is perpendicular to both the first and second directions. One end of the flipper is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove, while the other end, opposite the second direction, has a slot. The flipper is used to expose the slot in the opening of the receiving groove when rotating relative to it. The slot is used for inserting a hard drive, and the interface on the hard drive is exposed in the opening of the slot. The flipper is also used to rotate back into the receiving groove and be in a first position after the slot accommodates the hard drive. In the first position, the flipper is also used to slide relative to the receiving groove towards the hard drive connector in the second direction to a second position, so that the interface on the hard drive and the hard drive connector are electrically connected through insertion and removal.

[0006] In one alternative embodiment, a sliding block is provided on the flipping component, and a positioning plate perpendicular to a third direction is provided on the edge of the base. A guide groove is provided on the positioning plate. The sliding block is movably disposed in the guide groove to restrict the flipping component from sliding along the second direction and to make the flipping component rotate about the sliding block as a fulcrum and about the third direction as a rotation axis.

[0007] In one alternative embodiment, the sliding block includes a first slider and a second slider, and the guide groove includes a fulcrum guide rail, an arc-shaped guide rail, and a snap-fit ​​guide rail. The fulcrum guide rail is used to accommodate the first slider so that the first slider acts as a fulcrum in the fulcrum guide rail, supporting the second slider to slide within the arc-shaped guide rail. When the first slider is located within the fulcrum guide rail and the second slider slides within the arc-shaped guide rail, the flipping member rotates about the first slider as a fulcrum and about a third direction as a rotation axis. When the flipping member rotates back into the receiving groove and is in the first position, the flipping member is used to move along the second direction to the second position so that the second slider disengages from the arc-shaped guide rail and enters the snap-fit ​​guide rail, thereby restricting the rotation of the flipping member.

[0008] In one alternative embodiment, a baffle is also included; one end of the baffle is rotatably connected to one end of the flipping member, the other end of the baffle is provided with a first fixing point, and a second fixing point is provided on the base, the first fixing point being used to connect with the second fixing point; when the first fixing point is fixedly connected to the second fixing point, the baffle covers the gap between the flipping member and the base and prevents the flipping member from moving in the second direction.

[0009] In one alternative embodiment, the flipper is provided with a third fixing point, which is used to connect with the first fixing point to prevent the baffle from rotating.

[0010] In one alternative embodiment, the device also includes a hard drive with a positioning groove, and the flipping component further includes a protrusion and an elastic part. The protrusion is disposed in the slot, and the elastic part is disposed on at least one side of the slot. During the insertion of the hard drive into the slot, the hard drive abuts against the protrusion and squeezes the elastic part, causing the elastic part to contract. When the hard drive is fully inserted into the slot, the protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove, and the elastic part rebounds. The protrusion and the positioning groove together restrict the movement of the hard drive within the slot.

[0011] In one alternative embodiment, the flip-up component includes a top cover and a bottom cover. The edge of the top cover is provided with an elastic portion that is bent in an "S" shape, and the edge of the bottom cover is provided with an insertion portion that is inserted into the "S"-shaped bend of the elastic portion so that the top cover and the bottom cover fit together to form a slot.

[0012] In one alternative configuration, a first vent is provided on the side of the flip-up component facing away from the base, and a second vent is provided on the side of the base facing away from the flip-up component. When the fan is running inside the chassis, external air passes through the first vent, through the gap between the hard drive and the base, reaches the second vent, and enters the chassis.

[0013] In one alternative, the flipper has an inwardly recessed groove on the side facing away from the base, which serves as a handle for sliding the flipper in a second direction.

[0014] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a server is provided, including a chassis and a hard drive mounting structure as described in any of the above.

[0015] By employing a base and a flip-up mechanism, the hard drive is inserted into the slot of the flip-up mechanism, and then the flip-up mechanism is rotated into the receiving slot on the base. The flip-up mechanism is then slid from the first position to the second position, allowing the hard drive interface to connect with the hard drive connector in the receiving slot. This allows the hard drive to be inserted at an angle into the slot of the flip-up mechanism during installation, and the installation is completed by rotating the flip-up mechanism. Similarly, when removing the hard drive, it can be done by rotating the flip-up mechanism at an angle and then pulling the hard drive out. It is not necessary to assemble the hard drive perpendicular to the chassis. This means that when arranging the chassis, there is no need to pre-allocate the maximum space required for radial installation or removal of the hard drive; only a small amount of space is needed for the flip-up mechanism to rotate at an angle to ensure smooth installation and removal. This allows more chassis to be placed in a server room of the same area, improving space utilization and reducing the risk of hard drive bending, bumping, or other damage due to insufficient space during installation and removal.

[0049] With the advancement of modern technology, people increasingly need to use hard drives to store various data in production operations. In many digital industries, it is often necessary to deploy a large number of servers and other equipment in the computer room to manage the data stored on the hard drives.

[0050] The inventors of this application have noted that in practical applications, the common method for installing hard drives is to radially connect them to the device connectors for data access. When a hard drive needs to be replaced, it must be radially unplugged. In some fields with high hard drive storage requirements, the hard drives used are often quite large. In such cases, if a hard drive needs to be replaced in a server, sufficient space must be provided in front of the server where the hard drive needs to be replaced for radial insertion and removal. Otherwise, insufficient space may prevent the hard drive from being successfully replaced. Forcing radial insertion and removal can also cause the hard drive to bend due to the narrow space, damaging both the hard drive and the server. Therefore, many enterprises need to reserve sufficient hard drive installation space between each server or device when arranging servers and other electronic equipment in their data centers to avoid the above problems. However, when arranging servers in a data center with a large number of servers, reserving complete radial insertion and removal space for each server would lead to a significant waste of space. Moreover, the frequency of hard drive replacement is often not very high, and the unused reserved space would generate significant costs, which is not conducive to the rational layout of servers and other equipment in the data center.

[0051] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the inventors of this application have designed a hard drive installation and removal structure. By employing a flip-top hard drive installation method, the hard drive is inserted into a slot on the flip-top component. The flip-top component, rotatably connected to the base, is then rotated back into a receiving slot on the base, allowing the hard drive to be installed at a certain angle into the receiving slot. Finally, by moving the flip-top component on the base, the hard drive interface is connected to the hard drive connector in the receiving slot, completing the hard drive installation. This reduces the space occupied by the hard drive during installation or removal, eliminating the need for the hard drive to be installed perpendicular to the chassis or mounting location. Instead, it allows for installation at an angle, reducing the space required for hard drive installation when placing the chassis and improving space utilization.

[0052] Please refer to Figure 1 and further refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure provided in this application embodiment applied to a computer chassis. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the hard disk mounting and dismounting structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure provided in this application, showing the flipping component located in the first position. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure provided in this application, showing the flipping component located in the second position. For ease of understanding and explanation, straight arrow a represents the first direction, straight arrow b represents the second direction, and straight arrow c represents the third direction in the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, one embodiment of this application provides a hard disk mounting / unmounting structure 1000, including: a base 100 and a flipping member 200; the base 100 has a receiving groove 110 on one side along a first direction, the base 100 is used to install on the inner wall of a chassis 2000, and the groove opening of the receiving groove 110 faces the opening on the wall of the chassis 2000; a hard disk connector 111 is provided at one end of the receiving groove 110 along a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; the flipping member 200 is disposed in the receiving groove 110 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 along the second direction, the flipping member 200 is used to form a rotatable connection with the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 at one end along the second direction when it slides away from the hard disk connector 111 relative to the receiving groove 110 along the second direction to a first position, and the rotation axis of the flipping member 200 is... Parallel to a third direction, the third direction is perpendicular to both the first and second directions; on the flip member 200, one end forms a rotatable connection with the inner wall of the receiving groove 110, and the other end opposite to it along the second direction is provided with a slot 210; the flip member 200 is used to expose the slot 210 in the opening of the receiving groove 110 when rotating relative to the receiving groove 110, the slot 210 is used for inserting the hard disk 400, and the interface on the hard disk 400 is exposed in the opening of the slot 210; the flip member 200 is also used to rotate back into the receiving groove 110 and be in the first position after the slot 210 receives the hard disk 400, and the flip member 200 is also used to slide relative to the receiving groove 110 along the second direction toward the hard disk connector 111 in the first position, so that the interface on the hard disk 400 is plugged into the hard disk connector 111 to form an electrical connection.

[0053] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the base 100 can be embedded in the opening 2100 of the chassis 2000, or it can be installed on the inner wall of the chassis 2000 and fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 2000.

[0054] The base 100 can be a U-shaped structural component, with its inwardly recessed portion forming a receiving groove 110. Alternatively, it can be a structural component of other shapes with a receiving groove 110. The receiving groove 110 refers to a groove used to accommodate items or to lay out circuits, parts, or structures. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 110 is used to accommodate the hard disk 400 and to lay out the hard disk connector 111 that is plugged into the hard disk 400.

[0055] The mounting method of the base 100 to the inner wall of the chassis 2000 can be, for example, that the inner wall of the chassis 2000 has an opening, and the base 100 is embedded in the opening of the inner wall of the chassis 2000; or, the base 100 is mounted on the inner wall of the chassis 2000 without passing through the opening of the inner wall of the chassis 2000, and the slot 110 opened on the base 100 faces the opening of the inner wall of the chassis 2000. Those skilled in the art should be able to flexibly adjust the mounting method of the base 100 and the chassis 2000 according to the actual shape or design of the chassis 2000, so that after the hard drive 400 is installed into the base 100, it can be effectively connected to the hard drive 400 reading module inside the chassis 2000 through the base 100.

[0056] The flip-up component 200 refers to a structural component with a slot 210 at one end and rotatably connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 at the other end. It can be a box-shaped structure or any other arbitrary shape. It is understood that the shape of the slot 210 on the flip-up component 200 should be consistent with and slightly larger than the shape of the hard drive 400, so that the hard drive 400 can be smoothly inserted into the slot 210. At the same time, the overall shape of the flip-up component 200 can also be consistent with the shape of the hard drive 400 to maximize space utilization. It should be noted that the slot 210 at one end of the flip-up component 200 can be a one-piece molded slot 210 or a slot 210 formed by assembling multiple structures. For example, the flip-up component 200 can be composed of two cover-like structures, with the recessed portions of the two cover-like structures mating to form the flip-up component 200 with the slot 210.

[0057] The connection between the flipper 200 and the base 100 can be, for example, via a hinge connection, where the end of the flipper 200 without the slot 210 is connected to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 on the base 100 via a hinge. Alternatively, it can be achieved through common connection methods such as any pivot or movable pin, allowing for a rotatable connection between the flipper 200 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 110. Simultaneously, the flipper 200 can also slide relative to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110, meaning it can rotate relative to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110 with a third direction as its axis of rotation. The device can slide along the second direction on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110. For example, the structure can be such that a guide rail is provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110, a hinge is slidably set on the guide rail, and the flipping member 200 is connected to the receiving groove 110 by the hinge slidably set on the guide rail. Alternatively, a guide rail is provided on the inner wall of the receiving groove 110, a circular guide is provided on the flipping member 200, and the guide is installed in the guide rail, so that the guide can slide and rotate in the guide rail, thereby allowing the flipping member 200 to slide and rotate relative to the inner wall of the receiving groove 110.

[0058] The hard disk connector 111 and the interface refer to the connection part on the hard disk 400 used for data exchange and the connection part in the electronic device used for reading data from the hard disk 400, respectively. In some cases, the form of the hard disk connector 111 and the interface can be the same, for example, the hard disk 400 uses contact to realize data exchange. It should be noted that although the connector and the interface refer to different connection structures by definition, that is, the connector often refers to the plug-in connection structure, while the interface often refers to the plug-in connection structure, in actual applications, the hard disk 400 can be either a plug-in connector or a plug-in interface. Similarly, the device used to establish a data connection with the hard disk 400 to read data can be configured by technicians according to the actual situation to ensure that the hard disk 400 can be correctly connected to the data reading device in the chassis 2000 through the hard disk connector 111 and generate data exchange. The embodiments of this application do not impose special limitations on the specific form of the hard disk connector 111 and the interface.

[0059] In the application scenario of this application embodiment, when an operator needs to install on the hard disk 400, such as Figure 2 As shown, first insert the hard drive 400 into the slot 210 at one end of the flipper 200, then rotate the flipper 200 into the receiving slot 110 of the retractable base 100, that is... Figure 3 The first position is shown, and the flipper 200 is controlled to slide from the first position to the position shown. Figure 4 The second position shown allows the interface of the hard drive 400, exposed in the slot 210 at one end of the flipper 200, to be inserted into the hard drive connector 111 in the receiving slot 110, forming an electrical connection. Similarly, when the operator needs to disassemble the hard drive 400, the above steps are performed in reverse.

[0060] By using a base 100 and a flipper 200, the hard drive 400 is inserted into the slot 210 of the flipper 200, and the flipper 200 is rotated into the receiving slot 110 on the base 100. Then, the flipper 200 is slid from a first position to a second position, enabling the interface of the hard drive 400 to connect with the hard drive connector 111 in the receiving slot 110. This allows the hard drive 400 to be inserted obliquely into the slot 210 of the flipper 200 during installation, and the installation of the hard drive 400 is completed by rotating the flipper 200. Removal of the hard drive 400 can also be achieved by rotating the flipper. The component 200 is rotated to an angled position before the hard drive 400 is pulled out. It is not necessary to assemble the hard drive 400 perpendicular to the chassis 2000. That is, when arranging the chassis 2000, it is not necessary to reserve the maximum space required for radial installation or removal of the hard drive 400 in advance. Only a small amount of space is needed for the rotating component 200 to rotate at an angle to ensure the smooth installation and removal of the hard drive 400. This allows more chassis 2000s to be placed in the same area of ​​the computer room, improving space utilization and reducing the risk of hard drive 400 being bent or damaged due to insufficient space during installation and removal.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 A top view of the rotating component of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in an embodiment of this application. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the flipping component 200 is provided with a sliding block 220, and the edge of the base 100 is provided with a positioning plate 120 perpendicular to the third direction. The positioning plate 120 is provided with a guide groove 130. The sliding block 220 is movably disposed in the guide groove 130 to restrict the flipping component 200 from sliding in the second direction, and to make the flipping component 200 rotate about the sliding block 220 as the fulcrum and about the third direction as the axis of rotation.

[0062] The positioning plate 120 serves as a carrier for opening the guide groove 130. It can be understood that since the positioning plate 120 is perpendicular to a third direction parallel to the rotation axis of the flipping part 200, the flipping part 200 is less likely to collide with the positioning plate 120 when rotating. Furthermore, the gap between the flipping part 200 and the positioning plate 120 can be relatively tight, making the structure more compact and less likely to occupy too much space.

[0063] The sliding block 220 refers to a structural component that cooperates with the guide groove 130 on the positioning plate 120 to restrict the sliding direction of the flipping member 200 to the second direction, while allowing the flipping member 200 to rotate around the sliding block 220 as a fulcrum. It is understandable that for the sliding block 220 to function as a fulcrum for the rotation of the flipping member 200 within the guide groove 130, its shape must allow it to rotate within the guide groove 130. For example, if the guide groove 130 is strip-shaped and the sliding block 220 is circular, the circular sliding block 220 can rotate freely within the guide groove 130. However, if a square sliding block 220 is used, it is necessary to ensure that the maximum dimension of the sliding block 220 in each direction during rotation does not exceed the minimum dimension of the guide groove 130. Otherwise, the sliding block 220 will be jammed by the guide groove 130, preventing it from rotating smoothly. Those skilled in the art can reasonably design the shape and dimensions of the sliding block 220 and the guide groove 130 according to the actual situation, so that the sliding block 220 can slide along the second direction and rotate about the third direction as the axis of rotation within the guide groove 130. This allows the flipping member 200 to slide along the second direction and rotate about the third direction as the axis of rotation within the receiving groove 110, with the sliding block 220 as the fulcrum.

[0064] By opening a guide groove 130 on the positioning plate 120 and setting a sliding block 220 on the flipping part 200, the sliding block 220 can be movably set in the guide groove 130, so that the flipping part 200 can slide along the second direction and rotate with the third direction as the rotation axis. In this way, the structure can be made simpler and easier to produce and assemble.

[0065] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and further refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 This is a top view of the flip-up component of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in this embodiment of the application, rotated into the first position. Figure 7 A top view of the flip-up component of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in this application embodiment sliding to a second position. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the sliding block 220 includes a first slider 221 and a second slider 222. The guide groove 130 includes a fulcrum guide rail 131, an arc-shaped guide rail 132, and a snap-fit ​​guide rail 133. The fulcrum guide rail 131 is used to accommodate the first slider 221 so that the first slider 221 acts as a fulcrum in the fulcrum guide rail 131, supporting the second slider 222 to slide within the arc-shaped guide rail 132. When the first slider 221 is located within the fulcrum guide rail 131 and the second slider 222 slides within the arc-shaped guide rail 132, the flipping member 200 rotates about the first slider 221 as the fulcrum and about a third direction as the axis of rotation. When the flipping member 200 rotates back into the receiving groove 110 and is in the first position, the flipping member 200 is used to move along the second direction to the second position so that the second slider 222 disengages from the arc-shaped guide rail 132 and enters the snap-fit ​​guide rail 133, thereby restricting the rotation of the flipping member 200.

[0066] The guide groove 130 includes a fulcrum guide rail 131, an arc-shaped guide rail 132, and a snap-fit ​​guide rail 133, which can be independent guide rails that are separate from each other, or they can be continuous guide rails that are connected together.

[0067] The first slider 221 and the second slider 222 are multiple sliders located at different positions on the flipper 200, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the first slider 221 rotates within the fulcrum guide rail 131, and the second slider 222 slides from one end of the arc-shaped guide rail 132 into the arc-shaped guide rail 132. When the flipping member 200 rotates to retract into the receiving groove 110, the second slider 222 slides to one end of the arc-shaped guide rail 132, at which point the flipping member 200 is in the first position. Figure 6 As shown, when the flipper 200 is in the first position, the first slider 221 is located inside the fulcrum guide rail 131, and the second slider 222 is located at one end of the arc-shaped guide rail 132. At this time, the flipper 200 is slid along the second direction to the second position, as shown. Figure 7 As shown, the second slider 222 disengages from one end of the arc-shaped guide rail 132 and slides into the snap-fit ​​guide rail 133 along the second direction. At this time, due to the restriction of the snap-fit ​​guide rail 133, the sliding direction of the second slider 222 is restricted, which makes it impossible for the flipping member 200 to rotate with the third direction as the axis of rotation. The flipping member 200 is fixed in the receiving groove 110 of the base 100.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, multiple locking guide rails 133 can be provided, and additional second sliders 222 can be correspondingly provided to restrict the sliding or rotation of the flip member 200, so that the flip member 200 is more secure and less prone to loosening when it is retracted into the receiving groove 110, thereby ensuring the connection stability of the hard disk 400. Furthermore, in this embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the flip member 200, such as... Figure 5As shown, the guide groove 130 has an outwardly opening inlet to allow the sliding block 220 to enter when the flipper 200 is installed. In some cases, to improve the locking effect, such as... Figure 8 As shown, Figure 8 The top view of the flip member of the hard disk mounting and dismounting structure provided in this application embodiment sliding to the second position can be without an open entrance, so that when the flip member 200 moves to the second position, all sliding blocks 220 can be tightly engaged by the guide groove 130.

[0069] By setting a fulcrum guide rail 131, an arc guide rail 132, and a snap-fit ​​guide rail 133, and correspondingly setting a first slider 221 and a second slider 222, the flipping component 200 can slide and rotate within the receiving groove 110. When it is inserted into the receiving groove 110, the snap-fit ​​guide rail 133 restricts the second slider 222, preventing the flipping component 200 from rotating. This allows the flipping component 200 to be relatively stably fixed within the receiving groove 110, avoiding the accidental detachment of the hard drive 400 due to the flipping component 200 accidentally rotating out.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the baffle structure of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in an embodiment of this application. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, it also includes a baffle 300; one end of the baffle 300 is rotatably connected to one end of the flipping member 200, and the other end of the baffle 300 is provided with a first fixing point 310, and the base 100 is provided with a second fixing point 140. The first fixing point 310 is used to fix the second fixing point 140; when the first fixing point 310 is fixedly connected to the second fixing point 140, the baffle 300 covers the gap between the flipping member 200 and the base 100 and prevents the flipping member 200 from moving in the second direction.

[0071] Among them, the baffle 300 refers to a plate-shaped structural component used to cover the gap between the flipping component 200 and the base 100. It can be, for example, a long strip, a square plate, or an oval shape. It is only necessary to ensure that its shape and size can effectively cover the gap between the flipping component 200 and the base 100.

[0072] The fixing connection between the first fixing point 310 and the second fixing point 140 can be, for example, a snap-fit ​​connection between a snap-fit ​​hole and a snap-fit ​​connector, or a fixing connection between two mating parts via Velcro or similar means. In the embodiments of this application, for example... Figure 11 As shown, Figure 11This is a schematic diagram of the baffle installation method of the hard disk mounting and dismounting structure provided in the embodiment of this application. The first fixing point 310 is a threaded hole, and the second fixing point 140 is a rotatable screw. When the first fixing point 310 and the second fixing point 140 are connected, the screw of the second fixing point 140 is screwed into the threaded hole of the first fixing point 310, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the first fixing point 310 and the second fixing point 140.

[0073] It should be noted that, please refer to Figure 4 Because the flipping component 200 has a certain thickness, if it is to rotate within the receiving groove 110, the end serving as the fulcrum of rotation must have a certain clearance between it and the side wall of the receiving groove 110. Otherwise, during rotation, the flipping component 200 will collide with the side wall of the receiving groove 110 and become stuck, making it difficult or even impossible for the flipping component 200 to rotate. Furthermore, the flipping component 200 also needs to slide along the second direction within the receiving groove 110, requiring a certain clearance as well. Figure 10 As shown, there is a gap between one end of the flipper 200 and the inner wall of one end of the receiving groove 110.

[0074] Since dust in the working environment can affect the sliding and rotation of the flip-top component 200 within the receiving groove 110 and may cause structural damage, a baffle 300 is provided. One end of the baffle 300 is rotatably connected to one end of the flip-top component 200. When the first fixing point 310 and the second fixing point 140 are fixedly connected, the baffle 300 covers the gap between the flip-top assembly and the base 100, which can prevent dust from entering the connection between the receiving groove 110 and the flip-top component 200 to a certain extent, thus avoiding affecting the rotation and sliding of the flip-top component 200. At the same time, when the slot 210 in the flip-top component 200 drives the hard drive 400 to be inserted into the hard drive connector 111, the movement of the flip-top component 200 within the receiving groove 110 can be restricted by connecting the first fixing point 310 of the baffle 300 to the second fixing point 140 on the base 100, making the connection of the hard drive 400 more stable and reliable.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the flipping component 200 is provided with a third fixing point 230, which is used to connect with the first fixing point 310 to prevent the baffle 300 from rotating.

[0076] The connection between the third fixing point 230 and the first fixing point 310 can be, for example, by connecting them through a threaded hole and a screw.

[0077] In practical applications of this application, when an operator needs to install or remove the hard drive 400, since the flip-up component 200 needs to accommodate the hard drive 400 and has a certain thickness, if the baffle 300 is fixedly connected to the second fixing point 140, the flip-up component 200 will not be able to rotate. Therefore, during the disassembly of the hard drive 400, the operator first needs to separate the connection between the first fixing point 310 and the second fixing point 140, and flip the baffle 300 so that the first fixing point 310 on the baffle 300 contacts the third fixing point 230. The operator can fix the connection between the first fixing point 310 and the third fixing point 230 by screwing in screws, etc. At this time, the baffle 300 no longer restricts the rotation of the flip-up component 200. The operator can push the outer surface of the flip-up component 200 to make the flip-up component 200 slide into the receiving groove 110. When the flip-up component 200 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 110, the operator can then proceed as follows: Figure 5 The rotation shown. It should be noted that... Figure 5 The maximum angle at which the flipper 200 can flip depends on the length of the arc-shaped guide rail 132. For example, in this embodiment, the length of the guide rail 132 allows the flipper 200 to rotate 90°.

[0078] When the flipper 200 rotates to a sufficient angle, for example, rotates to Figure 2 In the indicated state, the operator can insert the hard disk 400 into the flip-up component 200, and then reverse the above steps to complete the assembly of the hard disk 400.

[0079] In some cases, if the baffle 300 can rotate when the flipper 200 rotates or slides, it may cause some obstruction and inconvenience to the operator, affecting the operator's operation of the flipper 200. Therefore, in order to avoid the baffle 300 affecting the normal operation of the flipper 200, when the baffle 300 is not in use, the first fixing point 310 of the baffle 300 can be connected to the third fixing point 230 on the flipper 200, so that the baffle 300 can move with the flipper 200 in the second direction, and at the same time, it will not rotate itself, thus avoiding affecting the sliding of the flipper 200. This makes the hard disk loading and unloading structure 1000 provided in this application embodiment more stable during use.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 An exploded view of the flip-over component of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in this application embodiment. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 12As shown, the device also includes a hard disk 400, which has a positioning groove 410. The flipping component 200 further includes a protrusion 240 and an elastic part 251. The protrusion 240 is disposed in the slot 210, and the elastic part 251 is disposed on at least one side of the slot 210. During the insertion of the hard disk 400 into the slot 210, the hard disk 400 abuts against the protrusion 240 and squeezes the elastic part 251, causing the elastic part 251 to contract. When the hard disk 400 is fully inserted into the slot 210, the protrusion 240 is embedded in the positioning groove 410, and the elastic part 251 rebounds. The protrusion 240 and the positioning groove 410 together restrict the movement of the hard disk 400 within the slot 210.

[0081] The shape of the protrusion 240 can be various, such as a square or polygonal protrusion. In this embodiment, in order to avoid scratching the hard disk 400 before the protrusion 240 is embedded in the positioning groove 410, the protrusion 240 is a raised arc surface without sharp edges.

[0082] It should be noted that the shape of the positioning groove 410 should correspond to the shape and position of the protrusion 240, so that when the hard drive 400 is fully inserted into the slot 210, the protrusion 240 in the slot 210 can smoothly embed into the positioning groove 410 on the hard drive 400, thereby achieving the function of positioning the hard drive 400 in the slot 210. It can be understood that there can be multiple positioning grooves 410 and protrusions 240, and each protrusion 240 should correspond to one positioning groove 410. When the hard drive 400 is inserted into the correct position in the slot 210, each protrusion 240 in the slot 210 can embed into one positioning groove 410 on the hard drive 400.

[0083] The function of the elastic part 251 is to provide a certain amount of expansion and contraction allowance to the slot 210 when the protrusion 240 in the slot 210 has not yet been embedded in the positioning groove 410 on the hard disk 400, so as to avoid excessive compression of the hard disk 400 by the protrusion 240 in the slot 210. The elastic part 251 should be provided on at least one side of the slot 210. For example, a wall plate supported by a spring can be provided on the inner wall of one side of the slot 210. When the protrusion 240 in the slot 210 is not embedded in the positioning groove 410 on the hard disk 400, the protrusion 240 compresses the hard disk 400 and the spring of the supporting wall plate is compressed by the hard disk 400, so that there is always a certain amount of elastic space in the slot 210. In another embodiment, a deformable structure or material can also be used as the elastic part 251 in the slot 210, such as providing an elastic sponge on one side of the slot 210.

[0084] By providing a positioning groove 410 on the hard drive 400 and a protrusion 240 and an elastic part 251 in the slot 210, the hard drive 400 can be accurately positioned by the protrusion 240 embedded in the positioning groove 410 when it is inserted into the correct position in the slot 210, preventing loosening and making the hard drive 400 more stable in the slot 210. This improves the stability of the hard drive 400 when connected to the hard drive connector 111. At the same time, by providing an elastic member on at least one side of the slot 210, the pressure exerted on the hard drive 400 by the protrusion 240 in the slot 210 before it is embedded in the positioning groove 410 can be distributed by the elastic member, preventing the hard drive 400 from being damaged due to excessive pressure.

[0085] Please continue to refer to Figure 12 and further refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the flip-up component structure of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in this application embodiment. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the flip-up component 200 includes a top cover 250 and a bottom cover 260. The edge of the top cover 250 is provided with an elastic portion 251 that is bent in an "S" shape, and the edge of the bottom cover 260 is provided with an insertion portion 261. The insertion portion 261 is inserted into the "S"-shaped bend of the elastic portion 251 so that the top cover 250 and the bottom cover 260 cooperate to form a slot 210.

[0086] The "S"-shaped elastic portion 251 refers to the pleated structure formed by the "S"-shaped folding of the edge of the top cover 250, such that the elastic portion 251 has at least one fold into which the edge of the bottom cover 260 can be inserted. It is understood that the "S"-shaped elastic portion 251 gives it a certain compressive deformation capability; that is, when external pressure is applied to the elastic portion 251, the "S"-shaped bend temporarily expands its bending angle under pressure, and when the external pressure on the elastic portion 251 disappears, the "S"-shaped bend returns to its original bending angle.

[0087] In order to improve the ability of the elastic part 251 to provide compressive deformation and recovery, the elastic part 251 can be made of metal, plastic or rubber. The elasticity of the above materials can enhance the compressive deformation ability of the elastic part 251.

[0088] The bottom cover 260 has an insertion part 261 on its edge. The insertion part 261 can be a plate-like structure that bends and extends along the edge of the bottom cover 260. It is used to insert into a fold of the elastic part 251 to limit the relative position of the bottom cover 260 and the top cover 250. Preferably, in order to make the slot 210 formed by the combination of the top cover 250 and the bottom cover 260 more stable, screws or screw holes can be additionally provided on the insertion part 261 and the elastic part 251 respectively. This allows the insertion part 261 to be fixed to each other by screws and screw holes while being inserted into the "S"-shaped bend of the elastic part 251. Alternatively, suitable connection structures can be provided at other corresponding parts of the bottom cover 260 and the top cover 250 to improve the connection stability between the bottom cover 260 and the top cover 250.

[0089] like Figure 10 As shown, considering that the "S"-shaped elastic part 251 has a large compression margin only in the third direction, while the compression margin provided in other directions is relatively limited, therefore, preferably, the protrusion 240 provided in the slot 210 can only protrude in the third direction, so that the pressure exerted by the protrusion 240 on the hard disk 400 can be better distributed by the elastic part 251, thus providing better protection for the hard disk 400.

[0090] By providing an "S"-shaped elastic portion 251 at the edge of the top cover 250 and a plug portion 261 for inserting the elastic portion 251 at the edge of the bottom cover 260, the top cover 250 and the bottom cover 260 cooperate to form a slot 210. During the insertion of the hard drive 400, the compression margin of the elastic portion 251 itself can distribute the pressure exerted on the hard drive 400 by the protrusion 240, avoiding the protrusion 240 from squeezing the hard drive 400 and causing damage to the hard drive 400. It can also reduce the resistance when the hard drive 400 is inserted into the slot 210, making the process of inserting the hard drive 400 into the slot 210 smoother.

[0091] Please continue to refer to Figure 13 and further refer to Figure 14 , Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the base structure of the hard disk mounting / unmounting structure provided in an embodiment of this application. According to some embodiments of this application, such as... Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the side of the flip member 200 facing away from the base 100 is provided with a first ventilation port 270, and the side of the base 100 facing away from the flip member 200 is provided with a second ventilation port 150. When the fan is running inside the chassis, external air passes through the first ventilation port 270, through the gap between the hard drive 400 and the base 100, reaches the second ventilation port 150, and enters the inside of the chassis.

[0092] The first vent 270 can be an opening on the flip member 200 or a mesh ventilation structure on the side of the flip member 200 facing away from the base 100, serving as an inlet for external air to flow in. Similarly, the second vent 150 can be an opening or a mesh ventilation structure on the side of the base 100 facing away from the flip member 200. In this embodiment, the first vent 270 is a mesh ventilation structure that provides a certain degree of dust protection, and the second vent 150 is an opening that partially exposes the hard disk 400.

[0093] like Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the airflow in the hard disk mounting and dismounting structure provided in the embodiments of this application, wherein... Figure 15 The direction of airflow is indicated by straight arrows. When the hard drive mounting / unmounting structure 1000 provided in this embodiment of the application is used in conjunction with a fan for heat dissipation, air enters through the first vent 270 on the flip member 200, flows through the entire hard drive 400, and then flows out through the second vent 150 on the base 100, carrying away the heat from the hard drive 400. It can be understood that in order to allow air to flow through more areas of the hard drive 400, more ventilation channels can be additionally opened on the flip member 200 and the base 100, so that the flowing air has more channels and the heat dissipation effect can be improved. For example, fin-shaped vents can be additionally provided on the edge of the base 100 opposite to the flip member 200, which can provide additional air channels while ensuring structural strength and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0094] By providing a first vent 270 on the side of the flip member 200 facing away from the base 100 and a second vent 150 on the side of the base 100 facing away from the flip member 200, external air can flow in through the first vent 270 to provide heat dissipation for one side of the hard drive 400, and enter the chassis through the second vent 150 to provide a certain heat dissipation effect for the other side of the hard drive 400, thus making the heat dissipation effect of the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure 1000 provided in this application embodiment better.

[0095] Please refer to the above again. Figure 13 According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 13 As shown, the flipping member 200 has an inwardly recessed groove 280 on the side facing away from the base 100. The groove 280 serves as a handle for pushing and pulling the flipping member 200 to slide in the second direction.

[0096] The recessed groove 280 serves as a handle for sliding the flipper 200. In other words, to function as a handle, the groove 280 should be at least as large as the area accessible to a human fingertip, allowing the operator to use their fingers to push, pull, and slide the flipper 200. The groove 280 can be square, circular, or similar shapes; in this embodiment, it is square.

[0097] Furthermore, it should be noted that the depth of the groove 280 recessed into the flip member 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual situation. For example, when the thickness of the side of the flip member 200 away from the base 100 is large, the depth of the groove 280 recessed into the flip member 200 can be deeper. However, when the thickness of the side of the flip member 200 away from the base 100 is small, in order to ensure that the groove 280 acts as a handle, the groove 280 can be set to be an opening that penetrates the side of the flip member 200. In this case, the groove 280 may expose part of the surface of the hard drive 400.

[0098] By setting an inwardly recessed groove 280 as a handle for sliding the flipping component 200, the outer surface of the flipping component 200 can be relatively flat, and it will not occupy too much area due to the conventional protruding handle. At the same time, it is also convenient for the operator to push and pull the flipping component 200, and it is less likely to cause an accident where the friction is too small and it is difficult to push and pull the flipping component 200.

[0099] Please refer to Figure 16 and Figure 17 , Figure 16 and Figure 17 A schematic diagram of a server structure provided for an embodiment of this application. According to another embodiment of this application, such as... Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, a server 10000 is provided, including a chassis 2000 and a hard disk mounting / unmounting structure 1000 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0100] like Figure 16 As shown, the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure 1000 can be installed on the front of the chassis 2000 of the server 10000, facilitating the installation and removal of the hard drive 400 by operators, which is convenient in application scenarios where the server 10000 is placed against a wall. It is understood that, depending on actual needs, the hard drive mounting and dismounting structure 1000 can also be installed on other surfaces of the chassis 2000, and this embodiment of the application does not impose any special limitations on this.

[0101] like Figure 17As shown, a fan 3000 can be installed inside the chassis 2000 to dissipate heat from other electronic components and the hard drive 400 inside the chassis 2000. Preferably, considering that the hard drive 400 itself has high heat dissipation requirements, and that the hard drive mounting structure 1000 provided in this embodiment has a first ventilation port 270 and a second ventilation port 150 for ventilation, the fan 3000 installed inside the chassis 2000 should be an exhaust fan, and the chassis 2000 should have additional channels for exhaust, so that the air entering from the first ventilation port 270 of the hard drive mounting structure 1000 is air with a lower external temperature, which greatly helps to dissipate heat from the hard drive 400.

[0102] By adopting the hard disk mounting and dismounting structure 1000 provided in this application embodiment in the server, the server does not need to occupy a lot of external space when mounting and dismounting the hard disk 400, which improves the applicability of server deployment and makes the space utilization rate of the server room higher.

[0103] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this application. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various technical features mentioned in the embodiments can be combined in any way. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.

The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes baffles; One end of the baffle is rotatably connected to one end of the flipping component, and the other end of the baffle is provided with a first fixing point. The base is provided with a second fixing point, and the first fixing point is used to fix the second fixing point to the base. When the first fixing point is fixedly connected to the second fixing point, the baffle covers the gap between the flipping component and the base and prevents the flipping component from moving in the second direction.

3. The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to claim 2, characterized in that, The flipping component is provided with a third fixing point, which is used to connect with the first fixing point to prevent the baffle from rotating.

4. The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to claim 1, characterized in that, It also includes a hard disk, which has a positioning groove, and the flipping component also includes protrusions and elastic parts; The protrusion is disposed in the slot, and the elastic part is disposed on at least one side of the slot. During the process of inserting the hard drive into the slot, the hard drive abuts against the protrusion and squeezes the elastic part, and the elastic part contracts. When the hard drive is fully inserted into the slot, the protrusion is embedded in the positioning groove, and the elastic part rebounds. The protrusion and the positioning groove together restrict the movement of the hard drive in the slot.

5. The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to claim 4, characterized in that, The flipping component includes a top cover and a bottom cover. The edge of the top cover is provided with an elastic portion that is bent in an "S" shape. The edge of the bottom cover is provided with a plug-in portion. The plug-in portion is inserted into the "S"-shaped bend of the elastic portion so that the top cover and the bottom cover cooperate to form the slot.

6. The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to any one of claims 1-5, characterized in that, The flip-up component has a first ventilation opening on the side facing away from the base, and the base has a second ventilation opening on the side facing away from the flip-up component. When the fan is running inside the chassis, external air passes through the first ventilation opening, through the gap between the hard drive and the base, reaches the second ventilation opening, and enters the interior of the chassis.

7. The hard disk mounting and dismounting structure according to claim 1, characterized in that, The flipping component has an inwardly recessed groove on the side facing away from the base. The groove serves as a handle for pushing and pulling the flipping component to slide along the second direction.

8. A server, characterized in that, Includes a chassis and a hard drive mounting / unmounting structure as described in any one of claims 1-7.
