Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] As an important node in the network, the storage space size of a server is one of the important indicators of the server. In related technologies, in order to expand the storage space of the server within a limited space, some servers are provided with a hard disk frame and a handle. The hard disk frame is hinged inside the chassis of the server. There is a chute on the side wall of the chassis. The handle is connected to the hard disk frame and is slidably connected to the chute. When it is necessary to maintain the hard disk in the hard disk frame, the operator can drive the handle to slide along the chute so that the hard disk frame rotates upward by a certain angle, thereby facilitating the operator to pull out the hard disk.

[0003] However, since the chute is formed on the side wall of the chassis, the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range. When it is necessary to maintain components such as the main board at the bottom of the hard disk frame, the hard disk frame can only be removed from the chassis, and the operation is relatively troublesome. 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 that in related technologies, the hard disk frame can only be flipped within a small angle range, which is not convenient for maintaining components such as the main board at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a hard disk frame module for being disposed inside the chassis of a server, including:

[0006] A hard disk frame having a hinged end and a free end. The hinged end is used for rotatably connecting with the side wall of the chassis. The hard disk frame has a first state in which the free end is turned up relative to the chassis, and a second state in which the free end is disposed inside the chassis.

[0007] A handle rotatably disposed at the free end of the hard disk frame. The handle has a first abutting portion. The bottom wall of the chassis and / or the hard disk frame module further includes a bottom bracket. When the first abutting portion abuts against the bottom bracket, the hard disk frame is in the first state.

[0008] Beneficial effects: During the use of the hard disk frame module according to the embodiment of the present invention, when it is necessary to maintain the hard disk, the operator can rotate the handle so that the first abutting portion of the handle abuts against the bottom bracket to switch the hard disk frame to the first state in which the free end is turned up relative to the chassis, thereby enabling the operator to directly perform plugging and unplugging operations on the hard disk without removing the hard disk frame from the chassis. Therefore, the hard disk frame module according to the embodiment of the present invention can facilitate the operator to maintain the hard disk.

[0009] When it is necessary to maintain some devices such as cables, plug-in cards, and radiators in the middle position on the main board, the operator can directly lift the entire hard disk frame to the support bend at the rear end of the chassis, thereby exposing components such as the main board below the hard disk frame. After the maintenance is completed, hold the handle and place the hard disk frame module back to its original position.

[0010] Therefore, the hard disk frame module in the embodiment of the present invention can maintain devices such as cables, plug-in cards, and radiators 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, which is not convenient for the operator to maintain components such as the main board at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0011] In an optional implementation manner, a second abutting portion is further provided on the handle. When the second abutting portion abuts against the bottom tray, the hard disk frame is in the second state;

[0012] The handle is hinged to the hard disk frame through a first hinge shaft. The first abutting portion and the second abutting portion are a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface that are circumferentially spaced along the first hinge shaft. The minimum distance between the first abutting surface and the hinge shaft is greater than the minimum distance between the second abutting surface and the hinge shaft.

[0013] Beneficial effect: By setting it like this, the operator can rotate the handle so that the handle cooperates with the bottom tray with different abutting surfaces, thereby controlling the hard disk frame to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0014] In an optional implementation manner, when the hard disk frame is in the first state, the first abutting surface can be in surface contact with the bottom tray.

[0015] Beneficial effect: By setting it like this, when the hard disk frame is switched to the first state, the first abutting surface can be in surface contact with the bottom tray, and the handle is stably supported on the bottom tray, so that a stable triangular structure can be formed among the handle, the bottom tray, and the hard disk frame, which can ensure the stable progress of hard disk maintenance.

[0016] In an optional implementation manner, a first connecting portion is provided on the hard disk frame, and a second connecting portion is provided on the handle. 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.

[0017] Beneficial effect: By setting it like this, when the hard disk frame is in the second state, the first connecting portion can be connected to the second connecting portion, thereby limiting the handle in the state where the second abutting portion abuts against the bottom tray, preventing the handle from rotating downward and causing 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.

[0018] In an alternative 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.

[0019] Advantageous effects: When the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are the bent portion and the first limiting groove respectively, it is convenient for the operator to snap the bent portion into the first limiting groove without additional operations when turning the handle, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment, a first limiting portion is provided on the hard disk frame, and a second limiting portion is provided on the handle. When the first abutting portion abuts against the bottom tray, the first limiting portion abuts against the second limiting portion.

[0021] Advantageous effects: By setting like this, when the operator turns the handle to switch the hard disk frame 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 where the first abutting surface is in surface contact with the bottom tray, which can ensure the stable progress of hard disk maintenance.

[0022] In an alternative 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.

[0023] In an alternative embodiment, an elastic abutting portion is provided on one of the handle and the hard disk frame, and a second limiting groove and a third limiting groove are provided at intervals on the other of the handle and the hard disk frame. When the elastic abutting portion is arranged in the second limiting groove, the first abutting portion abuts against the bottom wall. When the elastic abutting portion is arranged in the third limiting groove, the second abutting portion abuts against the bottom wall.

[0024] Advantageous effects: By setting like this, the elastic abutting portion can enter the second limiting groove and the third limiting groove at the starting point and the ending point of the handle rotation respectively, thereby increasing the damping during the handle rotation after the handle rotates in place, and then playing a slight positioning role and realizing the in-place body feeling reminder, so that the operator can stop the action after the handle rotates in place, avoiding 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.

[0025] In an alternative embodiment, the hard disk frame module further includes:

[0026] Support frame assemblies, which are arranged in pairs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the hard disk frame, and the support frame assemblies are arranged between the hard disk frame and the side wall of the chassis.

[0027] Advantageous effects: The support frame assemblies are arranged between the chassis and the hard disk frame, and can be used to strengthen the structural strength of the chassis and support the weight of the chassis.

[0028] 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.

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] 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.

[0033] 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.

[0034] In an optional embodiment, the support frame assembly further includes:

[0035] Support frame body;

[0036] 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.

[0037] 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.

[0038] 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:

[0039] 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.

[0040] 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.

[0041] 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.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the support frame assembly includes:

[0043] The elastic pressing piece is arranged on the supporting frame body and can be interference fit with the hard disk frame.

[0044] 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.

[0045] In an optional implementation, the hard disk enclosure includes:

[0046] Hard disk base;

[0047] The hard disk cover is detachably mounted on the hard disk base, and a hard disk compartment can be formed between the hard disk base and the hard disk cover;

[0048] The partition plate assembly is arranged in the hard disk compartment and can separate a plurality of sub-compartment bodies in the hard disk compartment.

[0049] In an alternative embodiment, a third connection hole is provided on the hard disk base, a fourth connection hole is provided on the hard disk upper cover, and the hard disk frame module further includes a first fastener that can pass through the third connection hole and the fourth connection hole and connect the hard disk base and the hard disk upper cover.

[0050] In an alternative embodiment, the partition plate assembly includes:

[0051] A partition vertical wall extending in the vertical direction and capable of partitioning a plurality of sub-compartments spaced horizontally in the hard disk compartment;

[0052] A plurality of spacer plates are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the partition vertical wall, and the space between two adjacent spacer plates can be used to limit the hard disk.

[0053] Advantageous effects: Among them, the partition vertical wall extends in the vertical direction and can partition a plurality of sub-compartments spaced horizontally in the hard disk compartment. A plurality of spacer plates are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the partition vertical wall, and the space between two adjacent spacer plates can be used to limit the hard disk.

[0054] By setting like this, the partition vertical wall can partition a plurality of sub-compartments spaced horizontally in the hard disk compartment. The spacer plates can support the hard disk and ensure that the hard disk can be inserted into the backplane connector along a predetermined track, so that at least two horizontally placed hard disks can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in each sub-compartment.

[0055] In an alternative embodiment, the partition plate assembly includes:

[0056] A first partition plate and a second partition plate. Both the first partition plate and the second partition plate include a partition vertical wall and a spacer plate. The partition vertical walls of the first partition plate and the second partition plate are detachably connected, and the spacer plates of the first partition plate and the second partition plate extend in opposite directions.

[0057] Advantageous effects: Since spacer plates with opposite extension directions need to be formed on both sides of the partition plate assembly, 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 assembled by the first partition plate and the second partition plate. Therefore, only spacer plates need 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.

[0058] In an alternative embodiment, a connection convex part is provided on the first partition plate, the connection convex part protrudes towards the direction close to the second partition plate, and a fifth connection hole is formed on the connection convex part;

[0059] A sixth connection hole is formed in the second partition board. The hard disk frame module further includes a second fastener, which can pass through the fifth connection hole and the sixth connection hole and connect the first partition board and the second partition board.

[0060] Beneficial effects: The connecting convex part can be used to adjust the gap between the first partition board and the second partition board, and then adjust the thickness of the assembled partition board assembly, so that the width of the sub-compartment body is more suitable for accommodating the hard disk, avoiding the hard disk from shaking after being assembled onto the hard disk frame.

[0061] In an optional embodiment, the partition board assembly includes:

[0062] A top folded edge is provided at the top of the partition vertical wall. A seventh connection hole is provided on the top folded edge, and an eighth connection hole is correspondingly provided on the hard disk upper cover. The hard disk frame module further includes a third fastener, which can pass through the seventh connection hole and the eighth connection hole and connect the top folded edge and the hard disk upper cover; and / or,

[0063] A bottom folded edge is provided at the bottom of the partition vertical wall. A ninth connection hole is provided on the bottom folded edge, and a tenth connection hole is correspondingly provided on the hard disk base. The hard disk frame module further includes a fourth fastener, which can pass through the ninth connection hole and the tenth connection hole and connect the bottom folded edge and the hard disk base.

[0064] Beneficial effects: Therefore, the partition board assembly can be connected to the hard disk upper cover and the hard disk base by riveting, will not loosen or fall off due to the action of external forces, can maintain the connection stability for a long time, and protect the safety of the internal hard disk.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the hard disk frame module further includes:

[0066] A first limiting convex part and a second limiting convex part are arranged on the hard disk base at intervals. A backplane clamping groove is formed between the limiting convex part and the second limiting convex part, and the backplane clamping groove is used for clamping the hard disk backplane;

[0067] A hook is provided on the hard disk upper cover for passing through the cut groove on the hard disk backplane;

[0068] A connecting edge is provided on the hard disk upper cover. An eleventh connection hole is formed on the connecting edge, and the eleventh connection hole is used for connecting the pin on the hard disk backplane.

[0069] Beneficial effects: With such a setting, during assembly, the operator can first obliquely drop the hard disk backplane between the first limiting convex part and the second limiting convex part, so that the lower edge of the hard disk backplane is inserted into the backplane clamping groove. Then, pass the hook through the cut groove on the hard disk backplane, thereby realizing the preliminary positioning of the hard disk backplane. At this time, the pin on the hard disk backplane can be aligned with the eleventh connection hole on the connection edge, and the operator only needs to connect the backplane and the eleventh connection hole with the pin to reliably limit the hard disk backplane on the hard disk base.

[0070] In an alternative embodiment, a clamping bend is further provided on the hard disk upper cover, and the clamping bend is used to abut against the copper leakage area on the hard disk backplane.

[0071] Beneficial effects: With such a setting, the copper leakage area is the part on the hard disk backplane for electrical connection. The clamping bend abuts against the copper leakage area, which can ensure the stability of the electrical connection, play a grounding role, and ensure that the static electricity generated during the movement of the hard disk module can be released in time.

[0072] In an alternative embodiment, heat dissipation holes are formed on the hard disk upper cover and / or the hard disk base.

[0073] Beneficial effects: The hard disk generates heat during operation, especially during high load or long-term continuous operation, and heat accumulation may cause the hard disk temperature to be too high. The heat dissipation holes help to dissipate the heat inside the hard disk, reduce the temperature of the hard disk, and prevent overheating from having a negative impact on the performance and lifespan of the hard disk.

[0113] 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.

[0114] Combine the following Figures 1 to 15 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0115] 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 .

[0116] 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.

[0117] 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.

[0118] 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 insert and remove 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.

[0119] When it is necessary to maintain some devices such as cables, plug-in cards, and radiators at the middle position on the motherboard, the operator can directly lift the entire hard disk frame 11 onto the support bend at the rear end of the chassis 2 (see Figure 5 ), thereby exposing components such as the motherboard under the hard disk frame 11. After the maintenance is completed, hold the handle and place the hard disk frame module back to its original position.

[0120] Therefore, the hard disk frame module of the embodiment of the present invention can maintain devices such as cables, plug-in cards, and radiators under 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, which is not convenient for the operator to maintain components such as the motherboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame.

[0121] 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 is not convenient for the operator to maintain components such as the motherboard at the bottom of the hard disk frame 11.

[0122] Wherein, 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 insertion and removal maintenance operation of the hard disk.

[0123] 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 upper cover can be installed to start running.

[0124] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame module 1 includes a bottom support 134 provided below the hard disk frame 11.

[0125] As a transformable implementation manner, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the part of the bottom wall of the chassis 2 corresponding to the hard disk frame 11 can serve as the bottom support 134 and cooperate with the first abutting portion 121.

[0126] 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 force arm during the process of the operator rotating the handle 12, thereby playing a role in saving effort.

[0127] It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the handles 12 is not limited. Exemplarily, such as Figure 4As shown, in a preferred embodiment, there are two handles 12 which are respectively arranged on both sides of the hard disk frame module 1. During operation, the operator can hold one handle 12 with each hand and flip the hard disk frame module 1, which helps to improve the stability during the flipping process of the hard disk frame module 1 and conforms to the user's usage habits.

[0128] In one embodiment, the side of the hard disk frame module 1 where the hard disk backplane 4 is provided is used to be hinged to the chassis 2. The handle 12 is hinged to the hard disk frame module 1 at the front window of the hard disk frame module 1. When it is necessary to disassemble and assemble the hard disk 3, the first abutting portion 121 of the handle 12 can support the front window of the hard disk module so as to obtain space for plugging and unplugging operations. In addition, since the wires in the chassis 2 can be connected to the hard disk backplane 4 at the hinged end of the hard disk module, during the process of rotating the hard disk frame module 1, the hard disk frame 11 is not likely to interfere with the wires.

[0129] As a transformable implementation manner, in an embodiment not shown in one of 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 the hard disk backplane 4.

[0130] 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;

[0131] The handle 12 and the hard disk frame 11 are hinged through a first hinge shaft. The first abutting portion 121 and the second abutting portion 122 are a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface which are circumferentially spaced along the first hinge shaft. The minimum distance between the first abutting surface and the hinge shaft is greater than the minimum distance between the second abutting surface and the hinge shaft.

[0132] By setting like this, the operator can rotate the handle 12 so that the handle 12 cooperates with the bottom bracket 134 with different abutting surfaces, thereby controlling the switching of the hard disk frame 11 between the first state and the second state.

[0133] As a transformable implementation manner, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the handle 12 is not provided with the second abutting portion 122. When the hard disk frame 11 is in the second state, the handle 12 can be in a horizontal state and be spaced apart from the bottom bracket 134.

[0134] 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.

[0135] By setting it in this way, when the hard disk frame 11 is switched to the first state, the first abutting surface can be in surface contact with the bottom bracket 134, and the handle 12 can be stably supported on the bottom bracket 134, so that a stable triangular structure can be formed among the handle 12, the bottom bracket 134 and the hard disk frame 11, ensuring the stable maintenance of the hard disk 3.

[0136] In one embodiment, a first connecting portion 1111 is provided on the hard disk frame 11, and a second connecting 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 connecting portion 1111 can be detachably connected to the second connecting portion 123.

[0137] By setting it in this way, 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, and then the handle 12 is limited to the state where the second abutting portion 122 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, preventing the handle 12 from rotating downward and causing 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.

[0138] In one embodiment, the first connecting portion 1111 includes a bent portion provided on the hard disk frame 11, and the second connecting portion 123 includes a first limiting groove capable of accommodating the bent portion.

[0139] When the first connecting portion 1111 and the second connecting portion 123 are respectively a bent portion and a first limiting groove, it is convenient for the operator to snap the bent portion into the first limiting groove without additional operations when rotating the handle 12, and the operation is simple and convenient.

[0140] As a transformable implementation manner, in an embodiment not shown in the drawings, the first connecting member and the second connecting member can also be selected as a snap - connection assembly, a riveting assembly or a bolt - connection assembly, etc.

[0141] In one embodiment, a first limiting portion 1112 is provided on the hard disk frame 11, and a second limiting portion 124 is provided on the handle 12. When the first abutting portion 121 abuts against the bottom bracket 134, the first limiting portion 1112 abuts against the second limiting portion 124.

[0142] By setting it in this way, when the operator rotates the handle 12 to switch the hard disk frame 11 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, reliably limiting the hard disk 3 in the first state where the first abutting surface is in surface contact with the bottom bracket 134, and ensuring the stable maintenance of the hard disk 3.

[0143] 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.

[0144] As a transformable embodiment, in embodiments not shown in some of the drawings, the first limiting portion 1112 may alternatively be a limiting convex portion, an abutting surface, etc. The second limiting portion 124 may alternatively be a limiting groove, a limiting convex portion, etc.

[0145] In one embodiment, an elastic abutting portion 125 is provided on one of the handle 12 and the hard disk frame 11, and second limiting grooves 1113 and third limiting grooves 1114 are provided at intervals on the other of the handle 12 and the hard disk frame 11. When the elastic abutting portion 125 is disposed in the second limiting groove 1113, the first abutting portion 121 abuts against the bottom wall. When the elastic abutting portion 125 is disposed in the third limiting groove 1114, the second abutting portion 122 abuts against the bottom wall.

[0146] By such an arrangement, the elastic abutting portion 125 can enter the second limiting groove 1113 and the third limiting groove 1114 at the starting point and the ending point of the rotation of the handle 12 respectively, so as to increase the damping during the rotation of the handle 12 after the handle 12 rotates in place, and further play a slight stopping role, and realize the in-place body feeling reminder, so that the operator can stop the action after the handle 12 rotates in place, avoid excessive rotation, and help 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.

[0147] In one embodiment, the elastic abutting portion 125 is provided on the handle 12, and the second limiting groove 1113 and the third limiting groove 1114 are provided on the hard disk frame 11.

[0148] As a transformable embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the elastic abutting 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.

[0149] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame module 1 further includes a support frame assembly 13. The support frame assemblies 13 are provided in pairs and are respectively disposed on both sides of the hard disk frame 11, and the support frame assemblies 13 are disposed between the hard disk frame 11 and the side wall of the chassis 2.

[0150] The support frame assembly 13 is disposed between the chassis 2 and the hard disk frame 11, and can be used to strengthen the structural strength of the chassis 2 and support the weight of the chassis 2.

[0151] As a transformable embodiment, in an embodiment not shown in one of the drawings, the support frame assembly 13 is not provided in the chassis 2, and the hard disk frame 11 is directly disposed in the chassis 2.

[0152] 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.

[0153] 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 .

[0154] 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.

[0155] 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.

[0156] 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 .

[0157] 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.

[0158] By such arrangement, when the support frame assembly 13 needs to be arranged in the chassis 2, as shown in FIG. Figure 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 Figure 10 ), and is limited in the second hole section 13112, thereby assembling the support frame assembly 13 simply and quickly.

[0159] 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.

[0160] 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.

[0161] 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.

[0162] 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 .

[0163] 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.

[0164] For example, Figure 9 and Figure 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.

[0165] In one embodiment, the support frame assembly 13 further includes a support frame body 131 and a locking piece 132 .

[0166] 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.

[0167] 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.

[0168] 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 .

[0169] 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.

[0170] 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.

[0171] 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.

[0172] 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.

[0173] 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.

[0174] 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 setting it in this way, the manufacturing process of the support frame assembly 13 can be simplified.

[0175] As a transformable implementation manner, the elastic pressing member 1312 can also be selected as an elastic button or the like.

[0176] In one embodiment, the hard disk frame 11 includes a hard disk base 111, a hard disk upper cover 112, and a partition plate assembly 113.

[0177] Among them, the hard disk upper cover 112 is detachably covered on the hard disk base 111. A hard disk compartment can be formed between the hard disk base 111 and the hard disk upper cover 112. The partition plate assembly 113 is arranged in the hard disk compartment and can partition a plurality of sub-compartments 114 in the hard disk compartment.

[0178] The hard disk frame 11 of the hard disk frame module 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is surrounded by the hard disk base 111, the hard disk upper cover 112, and the partition plate assembly 113. This module has flexible support and assembly, a simple and compact structure, small occupied space, reasonable layout, and a large number of expandable hard disks.

[0179] In one embodiment, as Figure 11 shown, the hard disk base 111 is provided with a third connection hole 1117, the hard disk upper cover 112 is provided with a fourth connection hole 1121, and the hard disk frame module 1 further includes a first fastener. The first fastener 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 upper cover 112.

[0180] In one embodiment, as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown, the partition plate assembly 113 includes a partition vertical wall 1131 and a plurality of spacer plates 1132.

[0181] Among them, the partition vertical wall 1131 extends in the vertical direction and can partition a plurality of sub-compartments 114 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction in the hard disk compartment. The plurality of spacer plates 1132 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction on the partition vertical wall 1131, and the space between two adjacent spacer plates 1132 can be used to limit the hard disk 3.

[0182] By setting it in this way, the partition vertical wall 1131 can partition a plurality of sub-compartments 114 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction in the hard disk compartment. The spacer plates 1132 can support the hard disk 3 and ensure that the hard disk 3 can be inserted into the backplane connector along a predetermined track, so that at least two horizontally placed hard disks 3 can be arranged at intervals in the vertical direction in each sub-compartment 114.

[0183] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the number of partition plate assemblies and the number of spacer plates 1132 of each partition plate assembly 113 are not limited. Those skilled in the art can adaptively adjust the number of partition plate assemblies according to the number and model of hard disks 3 to be installed in the server.

[0184] Exemplarily, in the embodiments as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the chassis 2 is a 2U chassis 2 (a server chassis 2 with a height of 2U, that is, 8.9 cm). Four partition plate assemblies 113 are arranged at intervals along the horizontal direction inside the hard disk frame module 1. Two hard disks 3 can be arranged at intervals along 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. The overall structure of the hard disk frame module 1 is compact and the space utilization rate is high.

[0185] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 the partition plate assembly 113 includes a first partition plate 1133 and a second partition plate 1134. Both the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 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 opposite directions.

[0186] Since spacer plates 1132 with opposite extension 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 in the embodiments of the present application is assembled by the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134. Therefore, only one-sided spacer plates 1132 need to be formed on both 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.

[0187] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 13 the first partition plate 1133 and / or the second partition plate 1134 are further provided with hard disk lock holes 11333, and the hard disk lock holes 11333 can be used to cooperate with the hard disk handle to complete the assembly and disassembly of the hard disk.

[0188] In an optional embodiment, both the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 are sheet metal parts, and the spacer plates 1132 are formed on the spacer plates 1132 through punching and bending processes.

[0189] As a transformable embodiment, the spacer 1132 may also be alternatively formed on the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134 by means of die forming or welding.

[0190] As another transformable embodiment, the partition plate assembly 113 may also be an integral structure, and the spacer 1132 may also be alternatively formed on the integral partition plate assembly 113 by means of die forming or welding.

[0191] In one embodiment, a connecting convex portion 11331 is provided on the first partition plate 1133. The connecting convex portion 11331 protrudes in a direction approaching the second partition plate 1134, and a fifth connecting hole 11332 is formed on the connecting convex portion 11331;

[0192] A sixth connecting 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 connecting hole 11332 and the sixth connecting hole 11341 and connect the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134.

[0193] The connecting convex portion 11331 can be used to adjust the gap between the first partition plate 1133 and the second partition plate 1134, and further adjust the thickness of the assembled partition plate assembly 113, so that the width of the sub-compartment body 114 is more suitable for accommodating the hard disk 3, and prevent the hard disk 3 from shaking after being assembled onto the hard disk frame 11.

[0194] In one embodiment, the partition plate assembly 113 includes a top hem 1135 and a bottom hem 1136.

[0195] Among them, the top hem 1135 is provided at the top of the partition vertical wall 1131. A seventh connecting hole 11351 is provided on the top hem 1135. Correspondingly, an eighth connecting hole 1122 is provided on the hard disk upper cover 112. The hard disk frame module 1 further includes a third fastener. The third fastener can pass through the seventh connecting hole 11351 and the eighth connecting hole 1122 and connect the top hem 1135 and the hard disk upper cover 112.

[0196] The bottom hem 1136 is provided at the bottom of the partition vertical wall 1131. A ninth connecting hole 11361 is provided on the bottom hem 1136. Correspondingly, a tenth connecting hole 1118 is provided on the hard disk base 111. The hard disk frame module 1 further includes a fourth fastener. The fourth fastener can pass through the ninth connecting hole 11361 and the tenth connecting hole 1118 and connect the bottom hem 1136 and the hard disk base 111.

[0197] Therefore, the partition board assembly 113 can be connected to the hard disk upper cover 112 and the hard disk base 111 by riveting, and will not loosen or fall off due to external forces, and can maintain the connection stability for a long time and protect the safety of the internal hard disk 3.

[0198] In one embodiment, as Figure 11 and Figure 15 shown, the hard disk frame module 1 further includes a first limiting convex portion 1119, a second limiting convex portion 11120, a hook 1123 and a connecting edge 1124.

[0199] Among them, the first limiting convex portion 1119 and the second limiting convex portion 11120 are arranged at intervals on the hard disk base 111, and a backplane clamping groove is formed between the limiting convex portion and the second limiting convex portion 11120 for clamping the hard disk backplane 4. The hook 1123 is arranged on the hard disk upper cover 112 for passing 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 for connecting the pin 402 on the hard disk backplane 4.

[0200] With such an arrangement, during assembly, the operator can first obliquely drop the hard disk backplane 4 between the first limiting convex portion 1119 and the second limiting convex portion 11120 so that the lower edge of the hard disk backplane 4 is inserted into the backplane clamping groove. Then pass the hook 1123 through the cut groove 401 on the hard disk backplane 4 to realize the pre-positioning of the hard disk backplane 4. At this time, the pin 402 on the hard disk backplane 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 backplane and the eleventh connecting hole 11241 to reliably limit the hard disk backplane 4 on the hard disk base 111.

[0201] In one embodiment, the pin 402 on the hard disk backplane 4 is a hand-rotating pin 402. After pre-positioning the hard disk backplane 4 through the backplane clamping groove and the hook 1123, only by rotating the hand-rotating nut can the pin 402 be dropped to complete the fixation.

[0202] In one embodiment, a positioning bend 1125 is further arranged on the hard disk upper cover 112 for abutting against the copper leakage area on the hard disk backplane 4.

[0203] With such an arrangement, the copper leakage area is the part on the hard disk backplane 4 for electrical connection. The positioning bend 1125 abuts against the copper leakage area, which can ensure the stability of electrical connection, play a grounding role, and ensure that the static electricity generated during the movement of the hard disk module can be released in time.

[0204] In one embodiment, heat dissipation holes 1126 are formed on the hard disk upper cover 112 and / or the hard disk base 111.

[0205] During the operation of the hard disk 3, heat is generated. Especially during high load or long - term continuous operation, 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 lifespan of the hard disk 3.

[0206] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a server is also provided, which includes a chassis 2, the hard disk frame module 1 provided in the first aspect of the present invention, and a hard disk 3.
