Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the field of computers, and in particular, to a server chassis and a server. Background Art

[0002] Hard disks are an important part of the server system. Generally, for easy maintenance and hot swapping after being installed in the cabinet, hard disks are placed at the front of the server and arranged from left to right. Since the most commonly used width of the server is 19 inches as specified by the EIA standard, the maximum number of hard disks that can be arranged in a row is only 4. When the required storage capacity is relatively large, the storage density of conventional servers cannot meet the requirements.

[0003] Based on the above problems, a current solution adopts the setting mode of front and rear rows of hard disk frames. The front row hard disk frames are fixed on the chassis base like conventional servers, but the rear row of rotatable hard disk frames are added. The purpose of the rear row rotation is to create plug-in and unplug space for the rear row hard disks diagonally upward. Although this design increases the number of hard disks, the maintenance of the rear row hard disks is very poor. When maintaining, the server needs to be removed from the cabinet first, then the upper cover is opened, and then the rear row hard disk frames are rotated and locked before the hard disks can be plugged in and out. This maintenance method makes the rear row hard disks lose the hot-swappable characteristics, thereby reducing the ease of maintenance. Summary of the invention

[0011] In an exemplary embodiment, the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod, and two ends of the transmission rod are rotatably connected to the first bracket and the second bracket respectively.

[0012] In an exemplary embodiment, the server chassis further comprises a hanging ear, which is located at the outer side of the end of the opening side, and when the second bracket is located at the maintenance position, a portion of the second bracket extends out of the end of the opening side.

[0013] In an exemplary embodiment, when the second bracket is in the working position, the second bracket and the first bracket are arranged in sequence along the front-to-back length direction of the server chassis, and the second bracket is closer to the opening side than the first bracket; the corner of the side end of the first bracket facing the opening side is rotatably connected to the side end of the opening side through a rotating shaft, and the second bracket is movably arranged relative to the box body along the front-to-back length direction; the transmission assembly includes a transmission rod, one end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the side of the second bracket facing the first bracket, the other end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the side of the second bracket parallel to the front-to-back length direction, and the connection between the transmission rod and the second bracket and the rotating shaft are located on the same side of the second bracket; along the direction perpendicular to the front-to-back length, the length of the first bracket is smaller than the length of the second bracket, the first bracket has a plurality of first mounting positions, the second bracket has a plurality of second mounting positions, the number of the second mounting positions is less than the number of the first mounting positions, the first mounting position and the second mounting position both have an operating side, and when the second bracket is in the working position, the operating side of the first mounting position and the operating side of the second mounting position are oriented in the same direction and both face the opening side.

At this time, the movement of the second bracket will drive the movement of the first bracket, so that the first bracket is also exposed to the opening side, thereby achieving the effect of hot plugging components on the first bracket. The above-mentioned setting method increases the number of brackets on the one hand, so that the number of components such as hard disks can be increased to meet the needs of various scenarios. On the other hand, the maintainability of the components is retained, so that all hard disks can be hot-swapped, so that the hard disks can still be easily maintained.

[0030] In order to solve the problem in the related art that server hard disks cannot take into account both quantity requirements and ease of maintainability, an embodiment of the present application provides a server chassis and a server.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 9 A server chassis shown in the figure includes a box body 10, a first bracket 20, a second bracket 30 and a transmission assembly 40, wherein the box body 10 has an open side; the first bracket 20 is movably arranged in the box body 10; the second bracket 30 is movably connected to the box body 10, and has a working position located in the box body 10, and a maintenance position extending out of the box body 10 from the open side and avoiding the first bracket 20; the transmission assembly 40 is transmission-connected to both the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, and when the second bracket 30 is located in the maintenance position, the first bracket 20 is driven by the transmission assembly 40 to be exposed to the open side.

[0033] In this embodiment, two brackets are provided, wherein the second bracket 30 is movably provided, and the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are connected by a transmission assembly 40, so that when the second bracket 30 moves, the first bracket 20 can be driven to move by the transmission assembly 40. In this way, during normal use, the second bracket 30 is located in the working position, and the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are both stored in the box body 10, so that the server chassis can be used normally without any additional protrusion. When the second bracket 30 needs to be repaired, the hard disk and other components on the first bracket 20 can be directly hot-swapped through the opening side. When the first bracket 20 needs to be repaired, the second bracket 30 can be operated to move the second bracket 30 relative to the box body 10, thereby switching to a maintenance position extending out of the box body 10. At this time, the movement of the second bracket 30 will drive the first bracket 20 to move, so that the first bracket 20 is also exposed to the opening side, so that the effect of hot-swapping the components on the first bracket 20 can be achieved. The above-mentioned setting method increases the number of brackets on the one hand, so that the number of components such as hard disks can be increased to meet the needs of various scenarios. On the other hand, the maintainability of the components is retained, so that all hard disks can be hot-swapped, so that the hard disks can still be easily maintained. The two aspects cooperate with each other to achieve a balance between quantity requirements and maintainability.

[0034] It should be noted that the front and back mentioned in this embodiment refer to the side of the server close to the operator facing the server as the front end, and the side away from the operator as the back end, that is, Figure 2 The left side is the front end, and the right side is the rear end. The length direction of the box body 10 is the front-to-back direction, that is, Figure 2 The left and right directions, and the width direction is Figure 2 In this embodiment, the components installed by the bracket are hard disks as an example, and accordingly, the two brackets are hard disk racks. Of course, the brackets can also be used to install other components.

[0035] In this embodiment, since the second bracket 30 is used as a component operated by the operator, when the second bracket 30 is located in the working position, the first bracket 20 is farther away from the opening side than the second bracket 30. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during normal use, the second bracket 30 itself is exposed on the opening side, so that maintenance can be performed directly; and when the components on the first bracket 20 need to be maintained, the operator operates the second bracket 30 to move, so that the second bracket 30 drives the first bracket 20 to move, so that the second bracket 30 avoids the opening side and the first bracket 20 is exposed on the opening side, so that the first bracket 20 can be operated, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 and Figure 4Of course, the arrangement of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 can also be interchanged.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9 As shown, the second bracket 30 of this embodiment adopts a rotatable connection with the box body 10. Specifically, a rotating shaft 11 is provided between the box body 10 and the second bracket 30, and the second bracket 30 is rotatably connected to the side of the box body 10 through the rotating shaft 11. Considering the overall installation of the server, the rotating shaft 11 is longitudinally arranged, so that the second bracket 30 can be horizontally rotated around the rotating shaft 11. In this way, the rotation of the second bracket 30 can avoid the opening side and avoid the front of the first bracket 20 at the same time. Moreover, the horizontal rotation of the second bracket 30 will not affect other components of the server or other servers, and there is no need to disassemble other components, making the operation more convenient. Of course, the second bracket 30 can also be set up in an upside-down manner. At this time, other components are not arranged above or below the server chassis as much as possible to avoid the flipping of the second bracket 30.

[0037] The first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 of this embodiment are both set to a rectangular block structure to adapt to the installation of the hard disk. Of course, when the installed components change, the shape of the bracket can also be changed accordingly. Based on the above shape, the present embodiment sets the shaft 11 at the corner between two adjacent side surfaces of the second bracket 30. At the same time, for the box 10, the shaft 11 is located at the side end of the opening side, that is, the end at the front end of the box 10. In this way, when the second bracket 30 rotates, it rotates around the front end of the box 10, so that the second bracket 30 has the largest rotation range, ensuring that the second bracket 30 can avoid the position of the first bracket 20 as much as possible when it rotates to the maintenance position. Of course, the shaft 11 can also be set at other positions of the box 10 or the second bracket 30, as long as it is ensured that the second bracket 30 can rotate and avoid the first bracket 20, so that the operator can operate the components on the first bracket 20.

[0038] Preferably, considering the positional relationship between the second bracket 30 and the box body 10 when the second bracket 30 rotates, in this embodiment, when the second bracket 30 is in the working position, the length of the second bracket 30 is smaller than the length of the opening side, such as Figure 1 The length of the bracket and the opening side mentioned here refers to the individual components and structures of the bracket and the opening side. Compared with the box body 10, it refers to the distance along the width direction of the box body 10, that is, Figure 2Since the second bracket 30 of the present embodiment adopts a rectangular block structure, further speaking, the diagonal length of the second bracket 30 of the present embodiment is smaller than the distance between the two ends of the opening side, so that the second bracket 30 will not interfere with the side wall of the box body 10 when rotating, ensuring that the second bracket 30 can rotate 180 degrees, so that the second bracket 30 completely avoids the position of the opening side, and drives the front end of the first bracket 20 to expose the opening side, ensuring the convenience of personnel operation and greatly improving the ease of maintenance.

[0039] Of course, when the second bracket 30 adopts other shapes, the size of the second bracket 30 can also be adjusted as needed, as long as it is ensured that the second bracket 30 will not interfere with other components such as the box 10 and that the second bracket 30 can be smoothly rotated to a maintenance position that avoids the opening side and exposes the first bracket 20.

[0040] The first bracket 20 of this embodiment adopts a structure in which the first bracket 20 is slidably connected to the box body 10, and since the first bracket 20 only moves and does not need to rotate, the length of the first bracket 20 can be substantially the same as the distance between the inner walls of the box body 10 on both sides, so that the length of the first bracket 20 can be as large as possible, so that the first bracket 20 can be installed with more hard disks, further increasing the number of hard disks that can be installed and accommodated. The first bracket 20 of this embodiment has a first mounting position, and the second bracket 30 has a second mounting position, and since the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are both used to install hard disks, the structure of the mounting positions of the two is substantially the same. Since the length of the second bracket 30 is smaller than the size of the opening side, and the length of the first bracket 20 is substantially the same as the size of the opening side, the length of the second bracket 30 is smaller than the length of the first bracket 20, so that the number of the second mounting positions on the second bracket 30 is less than the number of the first mounting positions on the first bracket 20, so that the number of hard disks that can be installed on the first bracket 20 is greater than the number of hard disks that can be installed on the second bracket 30. At the same time, both the first mounting position and the second mounting position have an operating side. When the second bracket 30 is in the working position, the operating side of the first mounting position and the operating side of the second mounting position are oriented in the same direction and both are oriented toward the opening side of the front end, so that operation can be conveniently performed from the opening side.

[0041] Since the first bracket 20 of this embodiment is arranged in a movable manner, in order to ensure the stability of the first bracket 20 in moving relative to the box body 10, a guide rail structure is arranged between the first bracket 20 and the inner wall of the box body 10 in this embodiment. The guide rail structure can assist the movement of the first bracket 20, so that the first bracket 20 can move stably along the front and rear length direction of the box body 10 to avoid deviation. Specifically, Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the guide rail structure of this embodiment includes a track and a sliding member 51, wherein one of the inner wall of the box body 10 and the first bracket 20 has a track, and the other of the inner wall of the box body 10 and the first bracket 20 has a sliding member 51. In this embodiment, a track is arranged on the inner wall of the box body 10 along the front-to-back length direction, and the track also extends along the front-to-back length direction, and a sliding member 51 is arranged on the outer side surface of the first bracket 20 in the width direction, so that the first bracket 20 can move stably in the box body 10 driven by the second bracket 30.

[0042] In order to reduce the resistance when the first bracket 20 slides, the sliding member 51 of this embodiment adopts a roller, which is rotatably arranged on the outer side of the first bracket 20, so that when the first bracket 20 moves, the roller rolls on the track, so that rolling friction is formed between the sliding member 51 and the track, thereby reducing the friction force of the sliding of the first bracket 20, further improving the convenience of operation. Of course, the sliding member 51 can also adopt components such as a slider, and the guide rail structure can also adopt other forms of guide components.

[0043] The transmission assembly 40 of this embodiment includes a transmission rod, and both ends of the transmission rod are rotatably connected to the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 through components or structures such as pins, so that when the second bracket 30 rotates around the rotating shaft 11, the first bracket 20 can be driven to move through the transmission rod, and the first bracket 20 is restricted by the guide rail structure and the inner wall of the box body 10, so that the first bracket 20 can only move along the front and rear length direction driven by the transmission rod.

[0044] like Figures 5 to 8 As shown, one end of the transmission rod of the present embodiment is rotatably connected to the side of the second bracket 30 facing the first bracket 20, and the other end of the transmission rod is rotatably connected to the side of the second bracket 30 parallel to the front-to-back length direction, and the connection between the transmission rod and the second bracket 30 and the rotating shaft 11 are located on the same side of the second bracket 30. In this way, while ensuring the transmission cooperation between the second bracket 30 and the first bracket 20, the transmission rod does not need to be very long, which reduces the space occupied by the transmission rod and reduces the space demand in the box body 10 for the added structure.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Fig. 9As shown, the server case of this embodiment further includes a hanging ear 60, the case 10 includes a bottom plate and a plurality of side plates, an opening side is formed between the ends of the side plates, and the hanging ear 60 is located at the outer side of the end of the side plate, so that the hanging ear 60 is located at the outer side of the front end of the case 10, and a plurality of hanging ears 60 are provided, and the hanging ears 60 are provided at the outer sides of both sides of the front end of the case 10, so that the server case can be fixed and transported. Considering the influence of the hanging ear 60 on the rotation of the second bracket 30, the position of the second bracket 30 is adjusted in this embodiment. When the second bracket 30 is located at the maintenance position, a part of the second bracket 30 extends out of the end of the front opening side, so that the front end of the second bracket 30 is exposed to the case 10 at this time, so that the second bracket 30 can avoid the interference with the hanging ear 60 when it rotates to the avoidance position, so that the rotation of the second bracket 30 avoids the hanging ear 60, and the safety of the rotation of the second bracket 30 is ensured. At the same time, when the second bracket 30 rotates to the avoidance position, the second bracket 30 drives the first bracket 20 to move so that the front end of the first bracket 20 also extends out of the front end opening side of the box body 10, thereby facilitating hot plug operation.

[0046] Since the hanging ear 60 is located at the end of the front end of the box body 10, in order to realize the installation of the rotating shaft 11, the bottom plate of the box body 10 of this embodiment extends a distance to the front end to form an extended section, so that the bottom plate of the box body 10 extends a short distance forward more than the end of the side plate. In this way, the bottom end of the rotating shaft 11 can be installed on the extended section, thereby realizing the installation of the rotating shaft 11 and achieving the position avoidance between the second bracket 30 and the hanging ear 60.

[0047] In addition to the above method, considering that the rotating shaft 11 between the second bracket 30 and the box body 10 is located at the end of the front end of the box body 10, the ear 60 can also be moved a short distance to the rear end, so that the ear 60 is at a certain distance from the front end of the box body 10. This can also avoid interference or collision between the second bracket 30 and the ear 60 when rotating, thereby ensuring safety in use.

[0048] This embodiment also provides a server, including components and the above-mentioned server chassis. The components of this embodiment include hard disks, and of course, may also include other components such as chips and motherboards. The first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 on the server chassis can both install fixed hard disks, and due to the arrangement of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, the hard disks on the two brackets can be hot-swapped, thereby increasing the number of hard disks while ensuring the easy maintenance of the hard disks. The server of this embodiment can be a single-layer server, that is, only one server chassis is provided, or it can be a multi-layer server, which can be provided with two, three or more layers of server chassis, which can increase the storage density by about 75%.

[0049] Embodiment 2

[0050] In this embodiment, the server chassis still includes a box body 10, a first bracket 20, a second bracket 30 and a transmission assembly 40. The box body 10 has an open side; the first bracket 20 is movably arranged in the box body 10; the second bracket 30 is movably connected to the box body 10, and has a working position located in the box body 10, and a maintenance position extending out of the box body 10 from the open side and avoiding the first bracket 20; the transmission assembly 40 is transmission-connected to both the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30. When the second bracket 30 is located at the maintenance position, the first bracket 20 is driven by the transmission assembly 40 to be exposed to the open side.

[0051] In this embodiment, two brackets are provided, wherein the second bracket 30 is movably provided, and the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are connected by a transmission assembly 40, so that when the second bracket 30 moves, the first bracket 20 can be driven to move by the transmission assembly 40. In this way, during normal use, the second bracket 30 is located in the working position, and the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 are both stored in the box body 10, so that the server chassis can be used normally without any additional protrusion. When the second bracket 30 needs to be repaired, the hard disk and other components on the first bracket 20 can be directly hot-swapped through the opening side. When the first bracket 20 needs to be repaired, the second bracket 30 can be operated to move the second bracket 30 relative to the box body 10, thereby switching to a maintenance position extending out of the box body 10. At this time, the movement of the second bracket 30 will drive the first bracket 20 to move, so that the first bracket 20 is also exposed to the opening side, so that the effect of hot-swapping the components on the first bracket 20 can be achieved. The above-mentioned setting method increases the number of brackets on the one hand, so that the number of components such as hard disks can be increased to meet the needs of various scenarios. On the other hand, the maintainability of the components is retained, so that all hard disks can be hot-swapped, so that the hard disks can still be easily maintained. The two aspects cooperate with each other to achieve a balance between quantity requirements and maintainability.

[0052] In this embodiment, since the second bracket 30 is used as a component operated by the operator, when the second bracket 30 is located in the working position, the first bracket 20 is farther away from the opening side than the second bracket 30. That is to say, in normal use, the second bracket 30 itself is exposed to the opening side, so that maintenance can be performed directly. When it is necessary to maintain the components on the first bracket 20, the operator operates the second bracket 30 to move, so that the second bracket 30 drives the first bracket 20 to move, so that the second bracket 30 avoids the opening side and the first bracket 20 is exposed to the opening side, so as to achieve the effect of being able to operate the first bracket 20. Of course, the arrangement of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 can also be interchangeable.

[0053] In this embodiment, the second bracket 30 is moved laterally, and the second bracket 30 is moved along the front and rear length direction of the box body 10. In this way, when the first bracket 20 needs to be operated, the second bracket 30 is pulled forward, so that the second bracket 30 drives the first bracket 20 to move forward together, so that the second bracket 30 extends out of the opening side and drives the first bracket 20 to the opening side, so that the components on the first bracket 20 can be operated.

[0054] Considering the convenience of the operating space, this embodiment leaves a certain operating space between the second bracket 30 and the first bracket 20. The specific size of the space, that is, the distance between the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 along the front-to-back length direction, can be adjusted accordingly according to actual needs, and it is sufficient to take into account both the size of the occupied space and the convenience of the operating space. In this way, when the second bracket 30 drives the first bracket 20 to be exposed to the exit side, the second bracket 30 will not block the front end of the first bracket 20 too much, and there is still enough space at the front end of the first bracket 20 to perform hot-swap operations on the hard disk, thereby facilitating the operation of the operator and improving the ease of maintenance.

[0055] Compared with the setting method in the first embodiment, the setting method of this embodiment is that since the second bracket 30 does not need to rotate, the second bracket 30 basically does not interfere with the box body 10, so that the size of the second bracket 30 can basically cover the width of the entire box body 10. Based on the form that the first bracket 20 is provided with four first installation positions, the size of the second bracket 30 is basically the same as that of the first bracket 20, so the second bracket 30 can also be provided with four second installation positions, thereby achieving an increase of about one-fold storage density and further increasing the number of hard disks accommodated. However, since additional space needs to be reserved between the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, in this embodiment, the distance between the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 will be larger than the distance in the first embodiment, so it will take up a certain amount of additional space, and the space requirement is higher than that in the first embodiment. It is not convenient to set up when the space is tight. At this time, the method in the first embodiment can be preferably adopted. When there is sufficient space, the setting method of this embodiment can be considered.

[0056] In this embodiment, a guide rail structure is provided between the first bracket 20 and the inner wall of the box 10, and between the second bracket 30 and the inner wall of the box 10. The guide rail structure can assist the movement of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, so that the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 can stably move along the front-to-back length direction of the box 10 to avoid deviation and the like. Specifically, taking the guide rail structure between the first bracket 20 and the box 10 as an example, the guide rail structure includes a track and a sliding member 51, wherein one of the inner wall of the box 10 and the first bracket 20 has a track, and the other of the inner wall of the box 10 and the first bracket 20 has a sliding member 51. In this embodiment, a track is provided on the inner wall of the box 10 along the front-to-back length direction, and the track also moves along the front-to-back length direction, and a sliding member 51 is provided on the outer side surface of the first bracket 20 in the width direction, so that the first bracket 20 can stably move in the box 10 driven by the second bracket 30. The guide rail structure between the second bracket 30 and the box 10 can also adopt the above-mentioned setting form, or other setting forms. Of course, the guide rail structure may also adopt other structural forms.

[0057] The sliding member 51 of this embodiment is a roller, which is rotatably arranged on the outer side of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, so that when the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 slide, the roller rolls on the track, so that rolling friction is formed between the sliding member 51 and the track, thereby reducing the friction force of the sliding of the first bracket 20 and further improving the convenience of operation. Of course, the sliding member 51 can also be a slider or other components.

[0058] The transmission assembly 40 of this embodiment includes a transmission rod, and both ends of the transmission rod are connected to the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 respectively. Since the second bracket 30 no longer rotates, the transmission rod can be fixedly connected to the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, and of course, it can still be rotatably connected to achieve the linkage between the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30. The transmission rod preferably extends in a direction parallel to the front and rear length of the box body 10, so that the length of the transmission rod can be shorter.

[0059] The server chassis of this embodiment also includes a hanging ear 60. The box body 10 includes a bottom plate and multiple side plates. An open side is formed between the ends of the side plates. The hanging ear 60 is located at the outer side surface of the end of the side plate, so that the hanging ear 60 is located at the outer side surface of the front end of the box body 10. In addition, there are multiple hanging ears 60, and the hanging ears 60 are provided on the outer side surfaces of both sides of the front end of the box body 10, so that operations such as fixing and transportation of the server chassis can be realized.

[0060] This embodiment also provides a server, including components and the above-mentioned server chassis. The components of this embodiment include hard disks, and of course, may also include other components such as chips and motherboards. The first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30 on the server chassis can both install fixed hard disks, and due to the arrangement of the first bracket 20 and the second bracket 30, the hard disks on the two brackets can be hot-swapped, thereby increasing the number of hard disks while ensuring the easy maintenance of the hard disks. The server of this embodiment can be a single-layer server, that is, only one server chassis is provided, or it can be a multi-layer server, which can be provided with two, three or more layers of server chassis, which can increase the storage density by about one time.

[0061] It should be noted that, the multiple in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0062] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0063] 1. Solved the problem in related technologies that server hard disks cannot take into account both quantity requirements and ease of maintenance;

[0064] 2. The number of brackets has been increased, so that the number of hard disks and other components can be increased to meet the needs of various scenarios. The maintainability of the components is retained, so that all hard disks can be hot-swapped, so that the hard disks can still be easily maintained. The two aspects work together to achieve a balance between quantity requirements and maintainability.

[0065] 3. The horizontal rotation of the second bracket will not affect other components of the server or other servers, and there is no need to disassemble other components, making the operation more convenient;

[0066] 4. Under the condition of ensuring the transmission cooperation between the second bracket and the first bracket, the transmission rod does not need to be very long, which reduces the space occupied by the transmission rod and reduces the space demand of the increased structure in the box;

[0067] 5. Avoid interference between the second bracket and the hanging ear when the second bracket rotates to the avoidance position, so that the second bracket can avoid the hanging ear during rotation, thereby ensuring the safety of the second bracket rotation.
