Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanism design, and in particular to a hard disk frame module and a server. Background Art

[0002] As an important node in the network, the size of the storage space is one of the important indicators of the server. In the related art, in order to expand the storage space of the server in a limited space, some servers are equipped with a hard disk frame and a handle. The hard disk frame is hinged in the chassis of the server, and a slide groove is provided on the side wall of the chassis. The handle is connected to the hard disk frame and is slidably connected to the slide groove. When the hard disk in the hard disk frame needs to be maintained, the operator can drive the handle to slide along the slide groove to make the hard disk frame rotate upward at a certain angle, so that the operator can pull out the hard disk easily.

[0003] However, since the slide groove is formed on the side wall of the chassis, the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range. When the mainboard and other components at the bottom of the hard disk frame need to be maintained, the hard disk frame can only be removed from the chassis, which is a more troublesome operation. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a hard disk frame module and a server to solve the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range, which makes it inconvenient to maintain components such as a mainboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a hard disk frame module, which is used to be arranged in a chassis of a server, comprising: The hard disk frame has a hinged end and a free end, the hinged end is used to be rotatably connected to the side wall of the chassis, and the hard disk frame has a first state in which the free end is flipped up relative to the chassis, and a second state in which the free end is arranged in the chassis; The handle is rotatably disposed at the free end of the hard disk frame, and the handle has a first abutment portion. The bottom wall of the chassis and / or the hard disk frame module also includes a bottom bracket. When the first abutment portion abuts against the bottom bracket, the hard disk frame is in a first state.

[0006] Beneficial effect: When the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present invention is in use, when it is necessary to maintain the hard disk, the operator can rotate the handle so that the first contact portion of the handle abuts against the bottom bracket, so as to switch the hard disk frame to the first state in which the free end is flipped relative to the chassis, so that the operator can directly plug and unplug the hard disk without removing the hard disk frame from the chassis. Therefore, the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the operator to maintain the hard disk.

[0007] When it is necessary to maintain some cables, plug-in cards, radiators and other devices in the middle of the motherboard, the operator can directly lift the entire hard disk frame onto the support bend at the rear end of the chassis to expose the motherboard and other components under the hard disk frame. After the maintenance is completed, hold the handle and put the hard disk frame module back to its original position.

[0008] Therefore, the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present invention can maintain the cables, plug-in cards, heat sink and other devices below the hard disk frame module without disassembling the hard disk frame, and can overcome the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range, making it inconvenient for the operator to maintain the mainboard and other components at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the handle is further provided with a second abutting portion, and when the second abutting portion abuts against the bottom bracket, the hard disk frame is in the second state; The handle is hinged to the hard disk frame through a first hinge axis, the first abutment portion and the second abutment portion are a first abutment surface and a second abutment surface arranged at circumferential intervals along the first hinge axis, and the minimum distance between the first abutment surface and the hinge axis is greater than the minimum distance between the second abutment surface and the hinge axis.

[0010] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, the operator can rotate the handle so that the handle cooperates with the base with different abutment surfaces, thereby controlling the hard disk frame to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0011] In an optional implementation, when the hard disk frame is in the first state, the first abutting surface can be in surface contact with the bottom bracket.

[0012] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, when the hard disk frame is switched to the first state, the first abutting surface can make surface contact with the base, and the handle can be stably supported on the base, so that a stable triangular structure can be formed between the handle, the base and the hard disk frame, thereby ensuring stable hard disk maintenance.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, a first connecting portion is provided on the hard disk frame, and a second connecting portion is provided on the handle, and when the second abutting portion abuts against the bottom wall of the chassis, the first connecting portion can be detachably connected to the second connecting portion.

[0014] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, when the hard disk frame is in the second state, the first connecting part can be connected to the second connecting part, thereby limiting the handle to a state where the second abutting part abuts against the bottom support, so that the handle cannot be rotated downward to cause excessive rotation, which helps to improve the safety and stability when flipping the handle, so that the hard disk frame module can stay more stably at each operation node.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting portion includes a bent portion provided on the hard disk frame, and the second connecting portion includes a first limiting groove capable of accommodating the bent portion.

[0016] Beneficial effect: When the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are respectively the bending portion and the first limiting groove, the operator can insert the bending portion into the first limiting groove without performing additional operations when turning the handle, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0017] In an optional embodiment, a first limiting portion is provided on the hard disk frame, and a second limiting portion is provided on the handle, and when the first abutting portion abuts against the bottom support, the first limiting portion abuts against the second limiting portion.

[0018] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, when the operator turns the handle so that the hard disk frame is switched to the first state, the first limiting portion can abut against the second limiting portion, thereby preventing the hard disk frame from rotating excessively, and reliably limiting the hard disk in the first state in which the first abutting surface is in surface contact with the bottom support, thereby ensuring stable hard disk maintenance.

[0019] In an optional embodiment, the first limiting portion is a limiting pin formed on the hard disk frame, and the second limiting portion includes a third abutting surface formed on the handle.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, an elastic abutment portion is provided on one of the handle and the hard disk frame, and a second limiting groove and a third limiting groove which are spaced apart are provided on the other of the handle and the hard disk frame. When the elastic abutment portion is disposed in the second limiting groove, the first abutment portion abuts against the bottom wall, and when the elastic abutment portion is disposed in the third limiting groove, the second abutment portion abuts against the bottom wall.

[0021] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, the elastic abutment portion can enter the second limit groove and the third limit groove respectively at the starting point and the end point of the handle rotation, thereby increasing the damping during the rotation of the handle after the handle is rotated into position, thereby playing a slight stopping role and realizing a physical reminder of the position, so that the operator can stop the action after the handle is rotated into position to avoid excessive rotation, which helps to improve the safety and stability when flipping the handle, so that the hard disk frame module can stay more stably at each operation node.

[0024] In an optional embodiment, a first hinge hole is provided on the hard disk frame, and the first hinge hole can allow the second hinge axis to pass through and hinge the hard disk frame to the side wall of the chassis. A third abutment portion is provided at one end of the hard disk frame along the length direction of the chassis, and a base for supporting the hard disk frame is provided on the support frame assembly. When the third abutment portion abuts against the base, the first hinge hole is aligned with the hole position on the chassis.

[0025] Beneficial effect: When the hard disk frame is installed on the chassis, the first hinge hole on the hard disk frame needs to be aligned with the hole position on the chassis, thereby realizing the hinge connection between the hard disk frame and the chassis.

[0026] In the process of installing the hard disk frame on the chassis, the operator can first place the hard disk frame on the support frame assembly and push the hard disk frame to move along the length direction of the chassis. When the third abutting portion abuts against the bottom support, the first hinge hole can be just aligned with the hole position on the chassis, so that the operator can use the second hinge axis to pass through the first hinge hole and the hole position on the chassis, and then simply and quickly hinge the hard disk frame to the chassis.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, a first connecting hole is provided on the support frame assembly, the first connecting hole includes a first hole segment and a second hole segment, the first hole segment and the second hole segment are connected to each other, the hole diameter of the first hole segment is larger than the hole diameter of the second hole segment, and the I-nail on the side wall of the chassis can pass through the first hole segment and be limited in the second hole segment.

[0028] Beneficial effect: Through such an arrangement, when the support frame assembly needs to be placed in the chassis, the operator can first pass the I-nail on the side wall of the chassis through the first hole section of the first connecting hole, and then move the support frame assembly so that the I-nail passes through the first hole section into the second hole section and is limited in the second hole section, thereby simply and quickly assembling the support frame assembly.

[0029] Furthermore, since the support frame assembly can be connected to the existing I-nails on the chassis, the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a conventional chassis without modifying the chassis, and has a wide range of applications. Moreover, when the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present application is not required to be installed in the chassis, the I-nails on the chassis can also be used to connect other components such as cable management troughs.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the support frame assembly further includes: Support frame body; One end of the locking plate is connected to the support frame body, and a second connecting hole is provided at a position corresponding to the first connecting hole. The I-shaped nail can lift the locking plate when it is located in the first hole section, and pass through the second connecting hole when it is located in the second hole section.

[0031] Beneficial effect: Through such a configuration, during the installation of the support frame assembly, the I-shaped nail can first enter the first hole segment, lift up the locking plate, and then move to the second hole segment under the action of external force, and pass through the second connecting hole on the locking plate. The locking plate can lock the I-shaped nail in the second connecting hole, thereby preventing the I-shaped nail from exiting the first connecting hole through the first hole segment, and then reliably limiting the support frame assembly on the chassis.

[0032] In an optional embodiment, the locking piece can move in a direction away from the support frame body under the action of an external force, and cause the I-shaped nail to be disengaged from the second connecting hole, and the support frame assembly further includes: The limiting bend is arranged on the support frame body. The limiting bend includes an extension section and an abutment section connected in sequence. The extension section extends in a direction close to the hard disk frame, and the abutment section extends in a vertical direction. When the locking piece moves in a direction away from the support frame body under the action of external force, it abuts against the abutment section.

[0033] Beneficial effect: With such a configuration, when the support frame assembly needs to be removed from the chassis, the operator can push the locking plate in a direction away from the support frame body so that the I-shaped nail can be removed from the second connection hole on the locking plate. Then the operator can drive the support frame assembly to move so that the I-shaped nail enters the first hole section, and the operator can directly drive the support frame assembly to move in a direction away from the support frame body and remove the support frame assembly.

[0034] The limiting bend can be used to abut against the locking piece when the locking piece moves into place, thereby limiting the locking piece and preventing the locking piece from losing its elasticity due to excessive bending.

[0035] In an optional embodiment, the support frame assembly includes: The elastic pressing piece is arranged on the supporting frame body and can be interference fit with the hard disk frame.

[0036] Beneficial effect: The elastic top pressure piece can limit the hard disk frame from both sides of the hard disk frame and prevent the hard disk frame from shaking.

[0040] Beneficial effect: wherein the partition vertical wall extends in the vertical direction, and can separate multiple sub-bin bodies arranged in the horizontal direction in the hard disk bin. Multiple partition boards are arranged in the vertical direction on the partition vertical wall, and the space between two adjacent partition boards can be used to limit the hard disk.

[0041] Through such an arrangement, the dividing vertical walls can separate multiple sub-bin bodies spaced apart along the horizontal direction in the hard disk bin, the partition plates can support the hard disks and ensure that the hard disks can be inserted into the backplane connector according to the predetermined track, so that at least two horizontally placed hard disks can be spaced apart along the vertical direction in each sub-bin body.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the partition plate assembly includes: The first partition plate and the second partition plate each include a partition vertical wall and a partition plate. The partition vertical walls of the first partition plate and the second partition plate are detachably connected, and the partition plates of the first partition plate and the second partition plate extend in directions away from each other.

[0043] Beneficial effect: Since the two sides of the partition plate assembly need to form partition plates with opposite extension directions, the production process of the partition plate assembly is complicated, and the production cost of the partition plate assembly is increased. However, the partition plate assembly of the embodiment of the present application is composed of a first partition plate and a second partition plate assembled with each other, so only a partition plate needs to be formed on one side of the first partition plate and the second partition plate, thereby simplifying the production process of the partition plate assembly and reducing the production cost of the partition plate assembly.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, a connecting protrusion is provided on the first partition plate, the connecting protrusion protrudes toward a direction close to the second partition plate, and a fifth connecting hole is formed on the connecting protrusion; A sixth connecting hole is formed on the second partition plate.

The eleventh connecting hole is used to connect to the pin on the back plate of the hard disk.

[0049] Beneficial effect: With such arrangement, during assembly, the operator can first drop the hard disk backplane obliquely between the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion, so that the lower edge of the hard disk backplane is inserted into the backplane clamping groove. Then the hook is passed through the cutout on the hard disk backplane, thereby realizing the pre-positioning of the hard disk backplane. At this time, the pin on the hard disk backplane can be aligned with the eleventh connecting hole on the connecting edge. The operator only needs to use the pin to connect the backplane and the eleventh connecting hole to reliably limit the hard disk backplane on the hard disk base.

[0050] In an optional implementation, a snap-in bend is further provided on the hard disk upper cover, and the snap-in bend is used to abut against the copper leakage area on the hard disk backplane.

[0051] Beneficial effect: Through such a setting, the copper leakage area is the part of the hard disk backplane used for electrical connection. The positioning bend offsets the copper leakage area, which can ensure the stability of the electrical connection and play a grounding role, ensuring that the static electricity generated by the hard disk module during movement can be released in time.

[0052] In an optional implementation, heat dissipation holes are formed on the hard disk cover and / or the hard disk base.

[0053] Beneficial effect: Hard disks generate heat during operation, especially when under high load or working continuously for a long time. Heat accumulation may cause the hard disk temperature to be too high. The heat dissipation holes help dissipate the heat inside the hard disk, reduce the temperature of the hard disk, and prevent overheating from negatively affecting the performance and life of the hard disk.

[0059] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0060] Combine the following Figures 1 to 15 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0061] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on one hand, a hard disk frame module 1 is provided, which is used to be arranged in a chassis 2 of a server, and includes a hard disk frame 11 and a handle 12 .

[0062] Among them, the hard disk frame 11 has a hinged end and a free end, the hinged end is used to be rotatably connected to the side wall of the chassis 2, the hard disk frame 11 has a first state in which the free end is flipped up relative to the chassis 2, and a second state in which the free end is arranged in the chassis 2.

[0063] The handle 12 is rotatably disposed at the free end of the hard disk frame 11. The handle 12 has a first abutting portion 121. The bottom wall of the chassis 2 and / or the hard disk frame module 1 also includes a bottom support 134. When the first abutting portion 121 abuts against the bottom support 134, the hard disk frame 11 is in a first state.

[0064] During use of the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, when the hard disk 3 needs to be maintained, the operator can rotate the handle 12 to make the first abutting portion 121 of the handle 12 abut against the bottom bracket 134, so as to switch the hard disk frame 11 to the first state in which the free end is flipped relative to the chassis 2 (see FIG. Figure 4 ), so that the operator can directly plug and unplug the hard disk 3 without removing the hard disk frame 11 from the chassis 2. Therefore, the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the operator to maintain the hard disk 3.

[0065] When it is necessary to maintain some cables, plug-in cards, radiators and other components in the middle of the motherboard, the operator can directly lift the entire hard disk frame 11 to the support bend at the rear end of the chassis 2 (see Figure 5 ), thereby exposing the mainboard and other components under the hard disk frame 11. After the maintenance is completed, hold the handle and put the hard disk frame module back to its original position.

[0066] Therefore, the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present invention can maintain the cables, plug-in cards, heat sink and other devices below the hard disk frame 11 without disassembling the hard disk frame 11, and can overcome the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range, making it inconvenient for the operator to maintain components such as the motherboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0067] The hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the invention can overcome the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame 11 can only be flipped within a small angle range, which makes it inconvenient for the operator to maintain components such as the mainboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame 11.

[0068] When the hard disk frame module 1 is in the first state, the free end of the hard disk frame module 1 can be rotated upward and at least partially exposed from the chassis to facilitate the plugging and unplugging maintenance operations of the hard disk.

[0069] When the hard disk frame module 1 is in the second state, the hard disk frame module 1 is placed flat on the bottom wall of the chassis 2, and the server cover is installed to start the machine.

[0070] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame module 1 includes a bottom bracket 134 disposed below the hard disk frame 11 .

[0071] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the portion of the bottom wall of the chassis 2 corresponding to the hard disk frame 11 can serve as a base 134 and cooperate with the first abutting portion 121 .

[0072] In one embodiment, a gripping portion is formed on the handle 12, and the gripping portion can be pinched by the operator, which helps to improve the user experience and extend the operator's force arm in the process of turning the handle 12, thereby saving effort.

[0073] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of handles 12 is not limited. For example, Figure 4 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, there are two handles 12 and they are respectively arranged on both sides of the hard disk frame module 1. During operation, the operator can hold a handle 12 in each hand and flip the hard disk frame module 1, which helps to improve the stability of the hard disk frame module 1 during the flipping process and conforms to the user's usage habits.

[0074] In one embodiment, a side of the hard disk frame module 1 provided with the hard disk backplane 4 is used to be hinged to the chassis 2, and the handle 12 is hinged to the hard disk frame module 1 at the front window of the hard disk frame module 1. When the hard disk 3 needs to be disassembled or installed, the first abutment portion 121 of the handle 12 can support the front window of the hard disk module to obtain space for plugging and unplugging operations. In addition, since the wires in the chassis 2 can be interconnected with the hard disk backplane 4 at the hinged end of the hard disk module, during the rotation of the hard disk frame module 1, the hard disk frame 11 is not easy to interfere with the wires.

[0075] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the front window of the hard disk frame module 1 is hinged to the chassis 2, and the handle 12 is hinged to the position of the hard disk frame module 1 for connecting to the hard disk backplane 4.

[0076] In one embodiment, the handle 12 is further provided with a second abutting portion 122. When the second abutting portion 122 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, the hard disk frame 11 is in the second state. The handle 12 is hinged to the hard disk frame 11 through a first hinge axis, the first abutment portion 121 and the second abutment portion 122 are first abutment surfaces and second abutment surfaces arranged at circumferential intervals along the first hinge axis, and the minimum distance between the first abutment surface and the hinge axis is greater than the minimum distance between the second abutment surface and the hinge axis.

[0077] By such a configuration, the operator can rotate the handle 12 so that the handle 12 cooperates with the base 134 with different abutting surfaces, thereby controlling the hard disk frame 11 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0078] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the second abutment portion 122 is not provided on the handle 12 , and when the hard disk frame 11 is in the second state, the handle 12 can be in a horizontal state and spaced apart from the base 134 .

[0079] In one embodiment, when the hard disk frame 11 is in the first state, the first abutting surface can be in surface contact with the bottom bracket 134 .

[0080] Through such an arrangement, when the hard disk frame 11 is switched to the first state, the first abutting surface can make surface contact with the base 134, and the handle 12 can be stably supported on the base 134, so that a stable triangular structure can be formed between the handle 12, the base 134 and the hard disk frame 11, which can ensure stable maintenance of the hard disk 3.

[0081] In one embodiment, a first connection portion 1111 is provided on the hard disk frame 11 , and a second connection portion 123 is provided on the handle 12 . When the second abutting portion 122 abuts against the bottom wall of the chassis 2 , the first connection portion 1111 can be detachably connected to the second connection portion 123 .

[0082] Through such a configuration, when the hard disk frame 11 is in the second state, the first connecting portion 1111 can be connected to the second connecting portion 123, thereby limiting the handle 12 to a state where the second abutting portion 122 abuts against the base 134, so that the handle 12 cannot rotate downward to cause excessive rotation, which helps to improve the safety and stability when flipping the handle 12, so that the hard disk frame module 1 can stay more stably at each operation node.

[0083] In one embodiment, the first connection portion 1111 includes a bent portion provided on the hard disk frame 11 , and the second connection portion 123 includes a first limiting groove capable of accommodating the bent portion.

[0084] When the first connection portion 1111 and the second connection portion 123 are respectively a bending portion and a first limiting groove, the operator can insert the bending portion into the first limiting groove without performing additional operations when rotating the handle 12, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0085] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the first connecting member and the second connecting member can also be optionally a snap-on assembly, a riveted assembly or a bolted assembly, etc.

[0086] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame 11 is provided with a first limiting portion 1112. The handle 12 is provided with a second limiting portion 124. When the first contact portion 121 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, the first limiting portion 1112 abuts against the second limiting portion 124.

[0087] With such an arrangement, when the operator turns the handle 12 so that the hard disk frame 11 is switched to the first state, the first limiting portion 1112 can abut against the second limiting portion 124, thereby preventing the hard disk frame 11 from rotating excessively, and reliably limiting the hard disk 3 in the first state where the first abutting surface is in surface contact with the base 134, thereby ensuring stable maintenance of the hard disk 3.

[0088] In one embodiment, the first limiting portion 1112 is a limiting pin formed on the hard disk frame 11 , and the second limiting portion 124 includes a third abutting surface formed on the handle 12 .

[0089] As a changeable implementation, in some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the first limiting portion 1112 may also be a limiting convex portion and abutting surface, etc. The second limiting portion 124 may also be a limiting groove and a limiting convex portion, etc.

[0090] In one embodiment, an elastic abutment 125 is provided on one of the handle 12 and the hard disk frame 11, and a second limiting groove 1113 and a third limiting groove 1114 are provided on the other of the handle 12 and the hard disk frame 11. When the elastic abutment 125 is disposed in the second limiting groove 1113, the first abutment 121 abuts against the bottom wall, and when the elastic abutment 125 is disposed in the third limiting groove 1114, the second abutment 122 abuts against the bottom wall.

[0091] By such a configuration, the elastic abutment portion 125 can enter the second limit groove 1113 and the third limit groove 1114 at the starting point and the end point of the rotation of the handle 12 respectively, thereby increasing the damping during the rotation of the handle 12 after the handle 12 is rotated into position, thereby playing a slight stopping role and realizing a physical reminder of the position, so that the operator can stop the action after the handle 12 is rotated into position to avoid excessive rotation, which helps to improve the safety and stability when flipping the handle 12, so that the hard disk frame module 1 can stay more stably at each operation node.

[0092] In one embodiment, the elastic abutting portion 125 is disposed on the handle 12 , and the second limiting groove 1113 and the third limiting groove 1114 are disposed on the hard disk frame 11 .

[0093] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the elastic abutment portion 125 is provided on the hard disk frame 11 , and the second limiting groove 1113 and the third limiting groove 1114 are provided on the handle 12 .

[0094] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame module 1 further includes a support frame assembly 13. The support frame assemblies 13 are arranged in pairs and are arranged on both sides of the hard disk frame 11. The support frame assemblies 13 are arranged between the hard disk frame 11 and the side wall of the chassis 2.

[0095] The support frame assembly 13 is disposed between the chassis 2 and the hard disk frame 11 , and can be used to enhance the structural strength of the chassis 2 and support the weight of the chassis 2 .

[0096] As a convertible implementation, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the support frame assembly 13 is not provided in the chassis 2 , and the hard disk frame 11 is directly provided in the chassis 2 .

[0097] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame 11 is provided with a first hinge hole 1115. The first hinge hole 1115 can allow the second hinge axis to pass through, and the hard disk frame 11 is hinged to the side wall of the chassis 2. The hard disk frame 11 is provided with a third abutment portion 135 at one end along the length direction of the chassis 2. The support frame assembly 13 is provided with a bottom bracket 134 for supporting the hard disk frame 11. When the third abutment portion 135 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, the first hinge hole 1115 is aligned with the hole position on the chassis 2.

[0098] When the hard disk frame 11 is installed on the chassis 2 , the first hinge hole 1115 on the hard disk frame 11 needs to be aligned with the hole position on the chassis 2 , so as to realize the hinge connection between the hard disk frame 11 and the chassis 2 .

[0099] In the process of installing the hard disk frame 11 on the chassis 2 of the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present application, the operator can first place the hard disk frame 11 on the support frame assembly 13, and push the hard disk frame 11 to move along the length direction of the chassis 2. When the third abutting portion 135 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, the first hinge hole 1115 can be just aligned with the hole position on the chassis 2, so that the operator can use the second hinge axis to pass through the first hinge hole 1115 and the hole position on the chassis 2, and then simply and quickly hinge the hard disk frame 11 to the chassis 2.

[0100] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the third abutment portions 135 is not limited. For example, in an optional embodiment, a third abutment portion 135 is provided on each side of the hard disk frame 11 along the width direction of the chassis 2. The two third abutment portions 135 can respectively abut against the bottom brackets 134 on both sides to prevent the hard disk frame 11 from tilting in the chassis 2, and ensure that the first hinge hole 1115 can be aligned with the hole position on the chassis 2, so that the pin 402 can fall into and form a rotating pair.

[0101] In one embodiment, the chassis 2 and the hard disk frame 11 are hinged via a hand-turned spring pin 402 , which can further simplify the assembly process for the operator, and the second hinge axis is formed on the hand-turned spring pin 402 .

[0102] In one embodiment, a first connection hole 1311 is provided on the support frame assembly 13. The first connection hole 1311 includes a first hole section 13111 and a second hole section 13112. The first hole section 13111 and the second hole section 13112 are connected to each other, and the aperture of the first hole section 13111 is larger than the aperture of the second hole section 13112. The I-shaped nail 201 on the side wall of the chassis 2 can pass through the first hole section 13111 and be limited to the second hole section 13112.

[0103] By such arrangement, when the support frame assembly 13 needs to be arranged in the chassis 2, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9As shown, the operator can first pass the I-shaped nail 201 on the side wall of the chassis 2 through the first hole section 13111 of the first connecting hole 1311, and then move the support frame assembly 13 to allow the I-shaped nail 201 to pass through the first hole section 13111 and enter the second hole section 13112 (see Fig.10 ), and is limited in the second hole section 13112, thereby assembling the support frame assembly 13 simply and quickly.

[0104] Furthermore, since the support frame assembly 13 can be connected to the original I-pins 201 on the chassis 2, the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present application can be applied to a conventional chassis 2 without modifying the chassis 2, and has a wide range of applications. When the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present application is not required to be set in the chassis 2, the I-pins 201 on the chassis 2 can also be used to connect other components such as cable management troughs.

[0105] As a convertible implementation mode, in some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the support frame assembly 13 can also be optionally installed in the chassis 2 by bolt connection, bonding or welding.

[0106] In one embodiment, a limiting convex hump is further provided on the support frame assembly 13 , and the limiting convex hump protrudes toward a direction close to the hard disk frame 11 , and the second hole section 13112 is formed on the limiting convex hump.

[0107] By such arrangement, the I-shaped nail 201 can be pressed against the limiting convex bump when sliding into the second hole section 13112 , thereby preventing the support frame assembly 13 from shaking after being installed on the chassis 2 .

[0108] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the first connection holes 1311 is not limited, and it is sufficient to ensure that the support frame assembly 13 can be reliably limited on the chassis 2.

[0109] For example, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, two first connection holes 1311 are provided at intervals on each support frame assembly 13, which can ensure that the support frame assembly 13 is reliably limited in the chassis 2 without increasing the manufacturing cost of the support frame assembly 13, thereby avoiding increasing the difficulty of assembling the support frame assembly 13.

[0110] In one embodiment, the support frame assembly 13 further includes a support frame body 131 and a locking piece 132 .

[0111] Among them, one end of the locking plate 132 is connected to the support frame body 131, and a second connecting hole 1321 is provided at a position corresponding to the first connecting hole 1311. The I-shaped nail 201 can lift the locking plate 132 when located in the first hole section 13111, and pass through the second connecting hole 1321 when located in the second hole section 13112.

[0112] Through such an arrangement, during the installation of the support frame assembly 13, the I-shaped nail 201 can first enter the first hole section 13111, lift up the locking plate 132, and then move to the second hole section 13112 under the action of external force, and pass through the second connecting hole 1321 on the locking plate 132. The locking plate 132 can lock the I-shaped nail 201 in the second connecting hole 1321, thereby preventing the I-shaped nail 201 from exiting the first connecting hole 1311 through the first hole section 13111, and then reliably limiting the support frame assembly 13 on the chassis 2.

[0113] In one embodiment, the locking piece 132 can move in a direction away from the support frame body 131 under the action of an external force, and make the I-shaped nail 201 disengage from the second connecting hole 1321 .

[0114] The support frame assembly 13 further includes a limit bend 133. The limit bend 133 is provided on the support frame body 131, and includes an extension section 1331 and an abutment section 1332 connected in sequence, wherein the extension section 1331 extends in a direction close to the hard disk frame 11, and the abutment section 1332 extends in a vertical direction, and when the locking piece 132 moves in a direction away from the support frame body 131 under the action of an external force, it abuts against the abutment section 1332.

[0115] By such arrangement, when it is necessary to remove the support frame assembly 13 from the chassis 2, the operator can push the locking plate 132 in the direction away from the support frame body 131, so that the I-shaped nail 201 can be disengaged from the second connection hole 1321 on the locking plate 132. Then the operator can drive the support frame assembly 13 to move, so that the I-shaped nail 201 enters the first hole section 13111, and the operator can directly drive the support frame assembly 13 to move in the direction away from the support frame body 131 and remove the support frame assembly 13.

[0116] The limiting bend 133 can be used to abut against the locking piece 132 when the locking piece 132 moves to a position, thereby limiting the locking piece 132 and preventing the locking piece 132 from losing its elasticity due to excessive bending.

[0117] In one embodiment, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the support frame assembly 13 includes an elastic pressing member 1312. The support frame assembly 13 is disposed on the support frame body 131 and can be interference-fitted with the hard disk frame 11.

[0118] The elastic pressing member 1312 can limit the hard disk frame 11 from both sides of the hard disk frame 11 and prevent the hard disk frame 11 from shaking.

[0119] In one embodiment, one end of the support frame body 131 of the support frame assembly 13 is bent inward to form an elastic pressing member 1312 . By such a configuration, the manufacturing process of the support frame assembly 13 can be simplified.

[0120] As a convertible implementation, the elastic pressing piece 1312 can also be selected as an elastic button or the like.

[0121] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame 11 includes a hard disk base 111 , a hard disk cover 112 and a partition plate assembly 113 .

[0122] The hard disk cover 112 is detachably mounted on the hard disk base 111. A hard disk compartment can be formed between the hard disk base 111 and the hard disk cover 112. The partition plate assembly 113 is disposed in the hard disk compartment and can separate a plurality of sub-compartment bodies 114 in the hard disk compartment.

[0123] The hard disk frame 11 of the hard disk frame module 1 of the embodiment of the present invention is surrounded by a hard disk base 111, a hard disk cover 112 and a partition plate assembly 113. The module supports flexible assembly, has a simple and compact structure, occupies a small space, has a reasonable layout, and can expand a large number of hard disks.

[0124] In one embodiment, Fig.11 As shown, a third connection hole 1117 is provided on the hard disk base 111, a fourth connection hole 1121 is provided on the hard disk cover 112, and the hard disk frame module 1 also includes a first fastener, which can pass through the third connection hole 1117 and the fourth connection hole 1121 and connect the hard disk base 111 and the hard disk cover 112.

[0125] In one embodiment, Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the partition plate assembly 113 includes a partition vertical wall 1131 and a plurality of spacer plates 1132 .

[0126] The partition vertical wall 1131 extends in the vertical direction, and can separate multiple sub-bin bodies 114 arranged horizontally in the hard disk bin. Multiple partition plates 1132 are arranged vertically on the partition vertical wall 1131, and the space between two adjacent partition plates 1132 can be used to limit the hard disk 3.

[0127] By such an arrangement, the dividing vertical wall 1131 can separate multiple sub-bin bodies 114 spaced apart along the horizontal direction in the hard disk bin, and the partition plate 1132 can support the hard disk 3 and ensure that the hard disk 3 can be inserted into the backplane connector according to the predetermined track, so that at least two horizontally placed hard disks 3 can be spaced apart along the vertical direction in each sub-bin body 114.

[0128] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of partition plate assemblies and the number of partition plates 1132 in each partition plate assembly 113 are not limited, and technical personnel in this field can adaptively adjust the number of partition plate assemblies according to the number and models of hard disks 3 required to be installed on the server.

[0129] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the chassis 2 is a 2U chassis 2 (a server chassis 2 with a height of 2U, i.e., 8.9 cm), four partition plate assemblies 113 are arranged in the horizontal direction in the hard disk frame module 1, and two hard disks 3 can be arranged in the vertical direction between every two partition plate assemblies 113. The hard disk frame module 1 can accommodate 10 2.5-inch hard disks 3, and the overall structure of the hard disk frame module 1 is compact and has high space utilization.

[0130] In one embodiment, Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the partition plate assembly 113 includes a first partition plate 1133 and a second partition plate 1134. The first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 each include a partition vertical wall 1131 and a spacer plate 1132, the partition vertical walls of the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 are detachably connected, and the spacer plates 1132 of the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 extend in directions away from each other.

[0131] Since the partition plates 1132 extending in opposite directions need to be formed on both sides of the partition plate assembly 113, the production process of the partition plate assembly 113 is complicated, and the production cost of the partition plate assembly 113 is increased. However, the partition plate assembly 113 of the embodiment of the present application is composed of a first partition plate 1133 and a second partition plate 1134 assembled with each other, so only a partition plate 1132 needs to be formed on one side of each of the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134, thereby simplifying the production process of the partition plate assembly 113 and reducing the production cost of the partition plate assembly 113.

[0132] In one embodiment, Fig.13 As shown, a hard disk locking hole 11333 is further provided on the first partition plate 1133 and / or the second partition plate 1134. The hard disk locking hole 11333 can be used to cooperate with the hard disk handle to complete the assembly and disassembly of the hard disk.

[0133] In an optional embodiment, the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 are both sheet metal parts, and the partition plate 1132 is formed on the partition plate 1132 by punching and bending processes.

[0134] As a convertible embodiment, the partition plate 1132 may also be formed on the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 by mold forming or welding.

[0135] As another alternative embodiment, the partition plate assembly 113 may be an integrated structure, and the partition plate 1132 may be formed on the integrated partition plate assembly 113 by mold forming or welding.

[0136] In one embodiment, a connecting protrusion 11331 is provided on the first partition plate 1133, the connecting protrusion 11331 protrudes toward the direction close to the second partition plate 1134, and a fifth connecting hole 11332 is formed on the connecting protrusion 11331; A sixth connection hole 11341 is formed on the second partition plate 1134 . The hard disk frame module 1 further includes a second fastener. The second fastener can pass through the fifth connection hole 11332 and the sixth connection hole 11341 and connect the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 .

[0137] The connecting protrusion 11331 can be used to adjust the gap between the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134, and then adjust the thickness of the assembled partition plate assembly 113, so that the width of the sub-bin body 114 is more suitable for accommodating the hard disk 3, thereby preventing the hard disk 3 from shaking after being assembled on the hard disk frame 11.

[0138] In one embodiment, the divider panel assembly 113 includes a top flange 1135 and a bottom flange 1136 .

[0139] The top folded edge 1135 is disposed at the top of the partition vertical wall 1131. The top folded edge 1135 is provided with a seventh connection hole 11351. The hard disk cover 112 is correspondingly provided with an eighth connection hole 1122. The hard disk frame module 1 further includes a third fastener, which can pass through the seventh connection hole 11351 and the eighth connection hole 1122 and connect the top folded edge 1135 and the hard disk cover 112.

[0140] The bottom folded edge 1136 is arranged at the bottom of the partition vertical wall 1131, and a ninth connecting hole 11361 is arranged on the bottom folded edge 1136, and a tenth connecting hole 1118 is correspondingly arranged on the hard disk base 111. The hard disk frame module 1 also includes a fourth fastener, which can pass through the ninth connecting hole 11361 and the tenth connecting hole 1118, and connect the bottom folded edge 1136 and the hard disk base 111.

[0141] Therefore, the partition plate assembly 113 can be connected to the hard disk cover 112 and the hard disk base 111 by riveting, and will not loosen or fall off due to external force. It can maintain the stability of the connection for a long time and protect the safety of the internal hard disk 3.

[0142] In one embodiment, Fig.11 and Fig.15 As shown, the hard disk frame module 1 further includes a first limiting protrusion 1119 , a second limiting protrusion 11120 , a hook 1123 and a connecting edge 1124 .

[0143] The first limiting protrusion 1119 and the second limiting protrusion 11120 are arranged on the hard disk base 111 at intervals, and a backplane clamping groove is formed between the limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion 11120, and the backplane clamping groove is used to clamp the hard disk backplane 4. The hook 1123 is arranged on the hard disk upper cover 112, and is used to pass through the cut groove 401 on the hard disk backplane 4. The connecting edge 1124 is arranged on the hard disk upper cover 112, and an eleventh connecting hole 11241 is formed on the connecting edge 1124, and the eleventh connecting hole 11241 is used to connect the pin 402 on the hard disk backplane 4.

[0144] By such arrangement, during assembly, the operator can first drop the hard disk back plate 4 obliquely between the first limiting protrusion 1119 and the second limiting protrusion 11120, so that the lower edge of the hard disk back plate 4 is inserted into the back plate clamping groove. Then the hook 1123 is passed through the cutout 401 on the hard disk back plate 4, so as to realize the pre-positioning of the hard disk back plate 4. At this time, the pin 402 on the hard disk back plate 4 can be aligned with the eleventh connecting hole 11241 on the connecting edge 1124. The operator only needs to use the pin 402 to connect the back plate and the eleventh connecting hole 11241 to reliably limit the hard disk back plate 4 on the hard disk base 111.

[0145] In one embodiment, the pin 402 on the hard disk backplane 4 is a hand-turned pin 402. After the hard disk backplane 4 is pre-positioned through the backplane clamping groove and the hook 1123, the pin 402 can be dropped to complete the fixation by simply rotating the hand-turned nut.

[0146] In one embodiment, a locking bend 1125 is further provided on the hard disk upper cover 112 , and the locking bend 1125 is used to abut against the copper leakage area on the hard disk backplane 4 .

[0147] Through such a setting, the copper leakage area is the part of the hard disk backplane 4 used for electrical connection. The positioning bend 1125 offsets the copper leakage area, which can ensure the stability of the electrical connection and play a grounding role, ensuring that the static electricity generated by the hard disk module during movement can be released in time.

[0148] In one embodiment, heat dissipation holes 1126 are formed on the hard disk cover 112 and / or the hard disk base 111 .

[0149] The hard disk 3 generates heat during operation, especially when it is under high load or works continuously for a long time, and the heat accumulation may cause the temperature of the hard disk 3 to be too high. The heat dissipation holes 1126 help to dissipate the heat inside the hard disk 3, reduce the temperature of the hard disk 3, and prevent overheating from having a negative impact on the performance and life of the hard disk 3.

[0150] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a server is provided, comprising a chassis 2, a hard disk frame module 1 provided in the first aspect of the present invention, and a hard disk 3.

[0151] The hard disk frame module 1 is arranged in the chassis 2. The hard disk 3 is arranged in the hard disk frame 11 of the hard disk frame module 1. The hard disk frame module 1 is arranged in the free area above the main board in the middle of the chassis 2, and then the signal is connected to the main board or the corresponding Raid card (Redundant Array of Independent Disks Controller Card) through a cable to realize the expansion of the hard disk 3 space of the whole machine.

[0152] The server of the second aspect of the present invention includes or uses the hard disk frame module 1 of the first aspect of the present invention, and thus has its beneficial effects, namely: the server of the embodiment of the present invention can maintain the cables, plug-in cards, radiators and other devices below the hard disk frame 11 without disassembling the hard disk frame 11, and can overcome the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range, making it inconvenient for the operator to maintain components such as the motherboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0153] The server of the embodiment of the invention can overcome the problem in the related art that the hard disk frame 11 can only be flipped within a small angle range, which makes it inconvenient for the operator to maintain components such as the mainboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame 11.

[0154] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame module 1 is used to be arranged in the middle of the chassis 2 of the server, and the hard disk 3 can be set up using the vacant area in the middle of the chassis 2, thereby significantly expanding the server storage space within a limited space and improving the space utilization of the server.

[0155] In summary, the hard disk frame module 1 of the first aspect and the server of the second aspect of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: the hard disk frame module 1 and the server of the embodiment of the present invention can utilize the vacant position in the middle of a conventional server chassis to set up a mid-mounted expansion hard disk frame module.

[0156] The hard disk frame module 1 supports flexible assembly, has a simple and compact structure, occupies a small space, has a reasonable layout, and has a large number of expansion disks. On this basis, the server of the embodiment of the present application combines the characteristics of the middle space of the chassis, and hinges the hard disk frame to the middle of the chassis, which can facilitate the plugging and unplugging maintenance of the hard disk. The hard disk frame module of this embodiment can facilitate the installation and maintenance of the hard disk, accurately locate the hard disk, and does not affect the maintenance of other components when the hard disk is installed, eliminating the complicated operation of disassembling the hard disk frame module.

[0157] Therefore, the hard disk frame module 1 and the server of the embodiment of the present application are reliable in function, easy to implement, and low in cost, and can be widely and continuously used in the subsequent mass production configuration and shipment.

[0158] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art may make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations are all within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
