[0001] The present invention relates to a carrier, and in particular to a carrier of a storage device. Background Art

[0002] Modern society is in an era of rapid development of information technology. Most companies use servers to assist in handling business, such as using the hard disk in the server to store programs, files and data to improve work efficiency.

[0003] Generally speaking, after the hard disk mounting rack is turned on, the hard disk can be installed inside, and then the hard disk mounting rack with the hard disk can be installed in the casing of the server. However, the current hard disk mounting rack has too many components, making the steps of assembling the hard disk mounting rack too complicated. In addition, since the hard disk mounting rack has too many components, the accumulation of dimensional errors of each component will make it difficult for the engaging parts to be firmly engaged with each other, making it difficult to close the hard disk mounting rack. Therefore, how to simplify the steps of assembling the hard disk mounting rack and make the engaging parts of the hard disk mounting rack firmly engaged with each other is one of the problems that R&D personnel should solve. Summary of the invention

[0004] The invention provides a storage carrier, so as to simplify the steps of assembling a hard disk installation frame and make the engaging parts of the hard disk installation frame firmly engage with each other.

[0068] See also Figures 1 to 3 . Figure 1 It is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a storage carrier according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Exploded diagram of the storage vehicle. Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of a storage carrier.

[0069] The storage carrier 10 of the present embodiment is suitable for mounting a storage device 20 such as a hard disk, and is suitable for being installed in a housing (not shown). The storage carrier 10 includes a mounting frame 11, a fixing seat 12, a light guide 13, an electromagnetic wave shielding member 14, and a movable handle 15. The mounting frame 11 includes a bottom plate 111, a first side plate 112, a second side plate 113, and a third side plate 114. The first side plate 112 is connected to one side of the bottom plate 111, and the second side plate 113 is, for example, pivotally connected to the other side of the bottom plate 111 relative to the first side plate 112. The third side plate 114 is connected to the bottom plate 111 and is between the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113. The bottom plate 111, the first side plate 112, the second side plate 113, and the third side plate 114 together surround a receiving space 115. The receiving space 115 is used to receive the storage device 20.

[0070] In this embodiment, the storage carrier 10 is, for example, configured in a server or a storage, but is not limited thereto.

[0071] The bottom plate 111 has a first pivot structure 1111 on a side away from the third side plate 114. The third side plate 114 has a first buckle structure 1141. The second side plate 113 has a second pivot structure 1131 and a second buckle structure 1132 on opposite sides. The second pivot structure 1131 of the second side plate 113 is pivoted to the first pivot structure 1111 of the bottom plate 111. The second buckle structure 1132 of the second side plate 113 and the first buckle structure 1141 of the third side plate 114 are matching concave-convex structures and are engaged with the first buckle structure 1141 of the third side plate 114. The fixing seat 12 is mounted on the third side plate 114 of the mounting frame 11 and has two hollow portions 121. The two hollow portions 121 are symmetrically arranged.

[0072] The electromagnetic wave shielding member 14 is at least partially sandwiched between the mounting frame 11 and the fixing base 12. The electromagnetic wave shielding member 14 includes a shielding body 141 and two shielding side bodies 142. The shielding body 141 has a plurality of through holes 1411. The two shielding side bodies 142 are respectively located on opposite sides of the shielding body 141 and are installed on the fixing base 12. In this way, the electromagnetic wave shielding member 14 can prevent electromagnetic interference from affecting the operation of the storage device 20, and can maintain ventilation through the through holes 1411 to dissipate heat.

[0073] Please also read Figure 4 . Figure 4 for Figure 1 1 is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of a storage carrier from another perspective. The light guide 13 is installed on the bottom plate 111 of the mounting frame 11 and is separated from the first side plate 112 and the second side plate 113. One end of the light guide 13 passes through the through hole 1411 of the shielding body 141 and is disposed in one of the two hollow portions 121. In addition, the bottom plate 111 has a plurality of limiting structures 1112. These limiting structures 1112 press against the light guide 13, so that the light guide 13 is fixed to the bottom plate 111.

[0074] The movable handle 15 is pivotally mounted on the fixed base 12, for example, through a pivot 30 and a torsion spring 40, and includes a movable member 151, a stopper 152, a locking member 153, and a reset member 154. The movable member 151 has an opening 1511, a first locking portion 1512, and two paving grooves 1513. The stopper 152 includes a main body 1521, an assembly protrusion 1522, and a second locking portion 1523. The assembly protrusion 1522 and the second locking portion 1523 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the main body 1521. The assembly protrusion 1522 is assembled to the opening 1511 of the movable member 151, and the second locking portion 1523 is locked to the first locking portion 1512, for example, through a screw 50. The two hollow portions 121 are exposed to the outside through the two recesses 1513 , so that the light guide member 13 can transmit the light source to the outside of the storage carrier 10 through the two hollow portions 121 .

[0075] The stopper 152 is mounted on the movable member 151 so that the stopper 152 and the movable member 151 together surround a slide slot S. The fixed seat 12 has a snap-fit ​​hole 122. The snap-fit ​​member 153 is slidably located in the slide slot S so that the snap-fit ​​member 153 can be close to or away from the pivot 30. In other words, the snap-fit ​​member is designed as a dial button. The snap-fit ​​member 153 includes a main body 1531, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 1532 and an operating portion 1533. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 1532 and the operating portion 1533 protrude from adjacent two sides of the main body 1531, respectively. The operating portion 1533 can move relative to the movable member 151 to relatively approach or move away from the pivot 30, and drive the snap-fit ​​protrusion 1532 to snap into the snap-fit ​​hole 122 or release the snap-fit ​​relationship with the snap-fit ​​hole 122 through the opening 1511. The reset member 154 is, for example, a spring. The restoring member 154 is respectively connected to the movable member 151 and the engaging member 153 , and is used to force the engaging member 153 to be restored.

[0076] In this embodiment, the storage carrier 10 may further include an insulating plate 16. The insulating plate 16 is made of, for example, a polyester film material. The insulating plate 16 is disposed on the bottom plate 111 and covers the light guide 13 to prevent electrical conduction between the light guide 13 and the storage device 20 and thus reduce the performance of the storage device 20.

[0077] In this embodiment, the storage carrier 10 may further include a light shielding member 17. The light shielding member 17 is disposed on the bottom plate 111 and is used to separate the light emitted by the light guide member 13 to prevent light overflow.

[0078] Compared with the structure of a common storage carrier, the storage carrier 10 of this embodiment can save some components and simplify the steps of assembling the hard disk mounting bracket 11. In addition, since the storage carrier 10 saves some components and does not accumulate the dimensional error of each component, the engaging member 153 of the storage device 20 can be firmly engaged with the engaging hole 122, and the movable handle 15 can be firmly fixed to the fixing base 12.

[0079] See also Figures 5 to 8 . Figure 5 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the engaging member engaging with the engaging hole. Figure 6 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram showing the engagement relationship between the engaging member and the engaging hole being released. Figure 7 for Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the movable handle being opened. Figure 8 for Figure 1 A three-dimensional schematic diagram of a second side panel of the device being opened for installation of a storage device.

[0080] like Figure 5 The engaging member 153 of the movable handle 15 is engaged with the engaging hole 122 of the fixing seat 12, so that the movable handle 15 is fixed to the fixing seat 12. Figure 6 When the user wants to place the storage device 20 in the storage carrier 10 or remove the storage device 20 from the storage carrier 10, first, the user presses the engaging member 153 along the direction A so that the restoring member 154 is compressed by the engaging member 153, so that the engaging member 153 is released from the engaging hole 122. Figure 7 The user moves the movable handle 15 along direction B, so that the movable handle 15 is separated from the fixed base 12. Finally, as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The user releases the engagement between the second buckle structure 1132 of the second side plate 113 and the first buckle structure 1141 of the third side plate 114, and moves the second side plate 113 along direction C to open the mounting frame 11 of the storage carrier 10, so that the user can place the storage device 20 in the storage carrier 10 or remove the storage device 20 from the storage carrier 10.

[0081] In this embodiment, the server of the present invention can be used for artificial intelligence (AI) computing and edge computing, and can also be used as a 5G server, a cloud server, or an Internet of Vehicles server.

[0082] According to the storage carrier of the above embodiment, since the light guide is installed on the bottom plate of the mounting frame and the second side plate is pivotally connected to the bottom plate, the steps of assembling the hard disk mounting frame can be simplified. In addition, since the storage carrier saves some components and does not accumulate the dimensional error of each component, the locking member of the storage device can be firmly locked in the locking hole, and the movable handle can be firmly fixed to the fixing seat.

[0083] In addition, the operating portion of the engaging member can move relative to the fixing seat in the slide slot, so that the operating portion can be close to or away from the pivot. In other words, the engaging member is designed as a dial button, so that the storage carrier can save some components, thereby further simplifying the steps of assembling the hard disk mounting rack.

[0084] Although the present invention is disclosed as above with the aforementioned embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
