Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a server device and a storage mechanism thereof, and more particularly to a server device and a storage mechanism thereof, in which a first support member and a second support member pivotally connected to each other via a first bridge piece are arranged in a storage shell to allow a first electronic component and a second electronic component to be supported in the storage shell. Background Art

[0002] With the advancement of technology, people's demand for cloud computing devices is increasing, which has led to a significant increase in the demand for servers, and the requirements for server computing performance are also gradually increasing. Therefore, in order to improve the computing performance of the server, additional expansion electronic components (such as network cards or 2.5-inch hard disk devices that meet the Open Compute Project (OCP) 3.0 specifications) are often installed to improve the overall computing power of the server. In actual applications, a tray mechanism is usually used to further securely install the expansion electronic components in the server chassis.

[0003] However, the common configuration of installing expansion electronic components on the tray mechanism currently adopts a design of placing the expansion electronic components horizontally adjacent to each other, which completely occupies the configuration space of the server chassis in the horizontal direction, resulting in that the server equipment cannot be additionally configured with space for other input and output (I / O) connection ports (such as Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection ports, etc.). Moreover, since the installation sizes of various types of expansion electronic components are different, it will also cause the problem that different types of expansion electronic components cannot be mixed and installed on the tray mechanism, thereby causing many restrictions and inconveniences in the configuration of the expansion electronic components of the server equipment. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a server device and a receiving mechanism thereof, in which a first support member and a second support member are arranged in a receiving housing via a first bridge piece to allow a first electronic component and a second electronic component to be supported in the receiving housing, so as to solve the above-mentioned problem.

[0005] According to one embodiment, the server device of the present invention comprises a server chassis, a server body, a accommodating mechanism, a first electronic component, and a second electronic component. The server body is arranged in the server chassis. The accommodating mechanism comprises a accommodating shell, a first support member, a second support member, and at least one first bridging piece. The accommodating shell is located in the server chassis and has a first side panel. The first support member has a first fixing structure, a first supporting sheet portion, and a first connecting sheet portion extending from the first supporting sheet portion. The first fixing structure is arranged on the first connecting sheet portion. The second support member has a second supporting sheet portion and a second connecting sheet portion extending from the second supporting sheet portion. The at least one first bridging piece is pivotally connected to the first connecting sheet portion and the second connecting sheet portion, respectively, and the first support member can move relative to the second support member by pivoting the at least one first bridging piece relative to the first connecting sheet portion and the second connecting sheet portion. The first electronic component is located in the first supporting sheet portion and is electrically connected to the server body. The second electronic component is located on the second supporting sheet and is electrically connected to the server body. The first fixing structure is detachably fixed to the first side plate, so that the first electronic component and the second electronic component are arranged in the accommodating shell.

[0006] According to another embodiment, the accommodating mechanism of the present invention is applicable to a server chassis, and the accommodating mechanism includes a accommodating shell, a first support member, a second support member, and at least one first bridging piece. The accommodating shell is located in the server chassis and has a first side panel. The first support member has a first fixing structure, a first supporting sheet portion, and a first connecting sheet portion extending from the first supporting sheet portion. The first fixing structure is arranged on the first connecting sheet portion. The second support member has a second supporting sheet portion and a second connecting sheet portion extending from the second supporting sheet portion. The at least one first bridging piece is pivotally connected to the first connecting sheet portion and the second connecting sheet portion, respectively, so that the first support member can move relative to the second support member. The first electronic component and the second electronic component are respectively located on the first supporting sheet portion and the second supporting sheet portion, and the first fixing structure is detachably fixed to the first side panel, so that the first electronic component and the second electronic component are arranged in the accommodating shell.

[0007] In summary, through the above-mentioned design of setting the first bridge piece with the first support member and the second support member that are pivotally connected to each other in the accommodating shell, the present invention can use the first support member and the second support member to support the first electronic component and the second electronic component in the accommodating shell, thereby allowing the front end of the server chassis of the server device to utilize the remaining space except for the accommodating opening to additionally configure other server-related components (such as input and output connection ports, etc.). In this way, the present invention can effectively solve the problem mentioned in the prior art that the horizontal adjacent placement design of the expansion electronic components will completely occupy the configuration space of the server chassis in the horizontal direction, resulting in the server device being unable to additionally configure other input and output connection ports, thereby greatly improving the configuration flexibility and expansion functionality of the server device in the installation of server components.

[0056] P: Front-end DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] See also Figure 1 , which is an exploded schematic diagram of a server device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein in order to clearly show the structural relationship of components of the server device 10, a server chassis 12 is Figure 1 Only part of the structure is shown, and a server body 14 is Figure 1 It is only shown by dotted lines. Figure 1 As shown, the server device 10 includes a server chassis 12, a server body 14, a receiving mechanism 16, a first electronic component 18, a second electronic component 20, and a third electronic component 22, wherein the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20, and the third electronic component 22 are preferably expansion electronic devices commonly used in server devices, such as network cards or 2.5-inch hard disk devices that comply with the Open Compute Project 3.0 specification. The server chassis 12 can preferably form a receiving opening 13 (but not limited to) at a portion of a front end P, and the server body 14 is disposed in the server chassis 12 and can include main components used in server devices, such as a heat dissipation module, a motherboard module, a power module, etc., and the relevant descriptions thereof are commonly found in the prior art and are not repeated here.

[0058] Here, the configuration of the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 as a network card that complies with the Open Compute Project 3.0 specification (but not limited thereto) is taken as an example to describe the design of the receiving mechanism 16 in detail. Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 As shown, the accommodating mechanism 16 includes a accommodating shell 24 (such as a server tray, but not limited thereto), a first support member 26, a second support member 30, at least one first bridge piece 32, a third support member 34 and at least one second bridge piece 36, and the first support member 26 may include at least one connecting piece 28, wherein the number of the connecting piece 28, the first bridge piece 32 and the second bridge piece 36 is greater than Figure 1 Three are shown in each (but not limited to this, and the number of configurations depends on the actual supporting requirements of the accommodating mechanism 16). The accommodating shell 24 is preferably inserted into the accommodating opening 13 and has a first side panel 38 and a second side panel 39 opposite to each other, wherein the accommodating shell 24 is used to support the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 to be installed in the accommodating opening 13 of the server chassis 12. In actual applications, the supporting design of the accommodating mechanism 16 can be preferably applied to the double-sided side panels of the accommodating shell 24 to stably install the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 in the server chassis 12 (but not limited to this, it can also be applied only to the single-sided side panel of the accommodating shell 24). In order to simplify the design of the accommodation mechanism of the server device 10), for the sake of simplifying the description, the following only describes the fixing design between the first side plate 38 of the accommodation shell 24 and the first support member 26, the connecting piece 28, the second support member 30, the first bridging piece 32, the third support member 34 and the second bridging piece 36. As for the fixing design of the other first support member 26, the other connecting piece 28, the other second support member 30, the other first bridging piece 32, the other third support member 34 and the other second bridging piece 36 arranged on the second side plate 39, the relevant description can be inferred according to the following description and will not be repeated here.

[0059] Depend on Figure 1 as well as Figure 2It can be seen that the first support member 26 has a first supporting piece 40 and a first connecting piece 42 extending upward from the first supporting piece 40, the second support member 30 has a second supporting piece 44 and a second connecting piece 46 extending upward from the second supporting piece 44, and the third support member 34 has a third supporting piece 48 and a third connecting piece 50 extending upward from the third supporting piece 48. The linking piece 28 is pivotally connected to the first connecting piece 42, the first bridging piece 32 is pivotally connected to the second connecting piece 46 and connected to the linking piece 28 so that the first support member 26 is located above the second support member 30, and the second bridging piece 36 is pivotally connected to the third connecting piece 50 and connected to the first bridging piece 32 so that the third support member 34 is located below the second support member 30. In this way, through the linked pivoting of the above-mentioned linking piece 28 and the first bridging piece 32 on the first connecting piece portion 42 and the second connecting piece portion 46 respectively, and through the linked pivoting of the first bridging piece 32 and the second bridging piece 36 on the second connecting piece portion 46 and the third connecting piece portion 50 respectively, the first support member 26 and the third support member 34 can be offset forward and backward relative to the second support member 30 or aligned and stacked with each other for the subsequent installation of electronic components.

[0060] More specifically, in this embodiment, the present invention can preferably adopt an electronic component slide rail assembly design (but not limited thereto, it can also adopt other assembly designs, for example, the first electronic component 18 can be installed on the first supporting piece 40 of the first support member 26 by means of structural engagement). For example, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 , Figure 3 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged schematic diagram of a slide rail member 52 fixed on the first support member 26, Figure 4 for Figure 1 A partial exploded schematic diagram of the slide rail member 52 and another first support member 26, another linking piece 28, another second support member 30, another first bridge piece 32, another third support member 34 and another second bridge piece 36 at another viewing angle, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the accommodating mechanism 16 may further include a slide rail 52, and a sliding edge sheet 54 is provided at a position of the first electronic component 18 corresponding to the slide rail 52. The first connecting sheet portion 42 is bent toward the first supporting sheet portion 40 to form at least one clip 56 (at Figure 2The slide rail member 52 has a protruding block 58 at a position corresponding to the clip 56, wherein the slide rail structure design of the slide rail member 52 can meet the sliding edge plate size specification of the network card of the Open Computing Project 3.0 specification so that the network card of the Open Computing Project 3.0 specification can be slidably inserted thereon. Thus, the protruding block 58 can be clamped between the clip 56 and the first supporting plate portion 40 (for example, by Figure 3 A screw 57 is shown to penetrate the clip 56 and the protrusion 58 to lock the protrusion 58 on the first supporting sheet portion 40 (but not limited to this) to fix the slide rail member 52 on the first supporting sheet portion 40, thereby allowing the first electronic component 18 to be installed on the first supporting sheet portion 40 by slidably inserting the sliding edge piece 54 into the slide rail member 52, or being pulled out from the accommodating mechanism 16 along the slide rail of the slide rail member 52. As for the slide rail support design in which the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 are respectively installed on the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 via the slide rail member 52, the relevant description can be referred to the above example and analogy, and will not be repeated here. It should be noted that the above-mentioned design that the first support member 26 and the third support member 34 can be respectively translated forward and backward relative to the second support member 30 to an offset position (such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the fixing positions of the slide rail members 52 on the first supporting sheet 40, the second supporting sheet 44 and the third supporting sheet 48 corresponding to the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 can be staggered to avoid structural obstruction problems, so that the user can quickly complete the assembly operation of the slide rail members 52.

[0061] As for the detachable fixing design of the first support member 26, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 2 The first fixing structure 60 is rotatably fastened to the first side plate 38, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 5 It can be seen that the first support member 26 may further include a first fixing structure 60. The first fixing structure 60 may preferably be integrally formed and disposed on the linkage piece 28 (for example, Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing structure 60 is integrally formed and arranged at Figure 2 The leftmost linking piece 28), the first side plate 38 may have a second fixing structure 62 at a position corresponding to the first fixing structure 60, whereby the first fixing structure 60 may be translated forward relative to the second supporting member 30 at the first supporting member 26 to a position such as Figure 5In the stacked position shown, the second fixing structure 62 is fixedly connected, so that the linkage piece 28 is detachably fixed to the first side plate 38. In more detail, in this embodiment, the present invention can preferably adopt a spring-loaded plunger design to achieve a toolless fixing effect (but not limited to this, it can also adopt other detachable fixing designs, such as screw locking design, etc.), for example, the first fixing structure 60 can preferably be a buckle hook, and the second fixing structure 62 can preferably be a spring-loaded plunger, and the spring-loaded plunger can have a first column 64 and a second column 66, and the radius of the first column 64 is greater than the radius of the second column 66, wherein the description of the spring-loaded design of the spring-loaded plunger to switch the plunger radius by pressing operation is common in the prior art and will not be repeated here. Through the above design, when the spring-loaded plunger is not pressed and the first column portion 64 with a larger radius is aligned with the buckle hook, the buckle hook can be tightly buckled on the first column portion 64 (such as Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the linking piece 28 is detachably fixed to the first side plate 38; on the other hand, when the spring-loaded plunger is pressed so that the second column portion 66 with a smaller radius is aligned with the snap-on hook, the snap-on hook can no longer be tightly fastened to the spring-loaded plunger and can be pivoted upward relative to the first connecting piece portion 42 to disengage from the spring-loaded plunger, thereby completing the disassembly operation of the linking piece 28.

[0062] In practical applications, in order to make the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 connected to each other more firmly disposed in the accommodating housing 24 and to improve the assembly convenience of the accommodating mechanism 16, the present invention can further adopt a positioning pin design (but not limited to this, it can also adopt other structural positioning designs, such as structural concave-convex positioning designs, etc.), for example, Figure 1 As shown, the third connecting piece 50 may be formed with at least one positioning groove 68 (at Figure 1 The first side panel 38 has a positioning pin 70 at a position corresponding to the positioning groove 68, so that the positioning groove 68 can be buckled on the positioning pin 70 to position the third support member 34 on the first side panel 38, thereby assisting the user to more quickly and accurately complete the assembly operation of placing the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 connected to each other in the accommodating shell 24.

[0063] In addition, in terms of the electrical connection design between the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20, and the third electronic component 22 and the server body 14, the present invention can preferably adopt a circuit connection backplane design (but not limited to this, it can also adopt other electrical connection designs, such as electrical connection by internal cable, etc.). For example, Figure 1 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the accommodating mechanism 16 may further include a circuit connection back plate 72, and the circuit connection back plate 72 is vertically disposed in the accommodating housing 24 (for example, Figure 1 The two positioning grooves 74 shown are respectively engaged with the two positioning pins 76 of the accommodating shell 24, but not limited thereto) and are electrically connected to the server body 14, so that the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 can be respectively installed on the first supporting sheet 40, the second supporting sheet 44, and the third supporting sheet 48 through the slide rail 52 and plugged into the circuit connection backplane 72, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 and the server body 14. In addition, in order to facilitate the user to replace or repair electronic components, the present invention can adopt a replaceable front cover design (but not limited thereto, it can also adopt a cover-type front cover design without providing a front cover replaceable function). For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first electronic component 18 may have a front cover 78, and the front cover 78 may be detachably locked to the housing 24 (for example, with a Figure 1 The screw 79 is shown as being fixed to the housing 24, but not limited thereto), so that the user can save time and effort in completing the disassembly, assembly and replacement of the electronic components.

[0064] Here, the electronic component assembly operation of the accommodation mechanism 16 is described. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 ,as well as Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an assembly of a housing 24 equipped with a first electronic component 18, a second electronic component 20, and a third electronic component 22, which is inserted into the housing opening 13 of the server chassis 12. In order to clearly present the assembly configuration of the housing mechanism 16, the server chassis 12 is Figure 6 When the user wants to assemble the electronic components of the server device 10, the user only needs to first place the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 which are linked and pivoted to each other via the linking piece 28, the first bridge piece 32 and the second bridge piece in the housing 24. In short, it can be seen from the above that after the slide rail member 52 is fixed in sequence and translated to the positions as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The third support member 34, the second support member 30 and the first support member 26 in the offset position shown in FIG. 1 are placed on the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 to the position shown in FIG. Figure 5After the stacked position is set so that the linking piece 28 is detachably fixed to the second fixing structure 62 of the first side plate 38 via the first fixing structure 60, and the circuit connection back plate 72 is uprightly arranged in the housing 24, the user can then install the assembled housing mechanism 16 (such as Figure 5 The first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 are respectively installed on the first supporting sheet 40, the second supporting sheet 44 and the third supporting sheet 48 via the slide rail 52 and electrically connected to the server body 14 via the circuit connection backplane 72, so that the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 are arranged in the housing 24 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6 The up-and-down stacking method shown in the figure is not limited thereto), thereby completing the assembly operation of the server device 10.

[0065] In summary, by disposing the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 which are linked and pivotally connected to each other via the linking piece 28, the first bridge piece 32 and the second bridge piece in the housing 24, the present invention can utilize the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 to support the first electronic component 18, the second electronic component 20 and the third electronic component 22 in the housing 24 (such as Figure 6 As shown), the front end P of the server chassis 12 of the server device 10 can utilize the remaining space except for the accommodating opening 13 to additionally configure other server-related components (such as input and output connection ports, etc.). In this way, the present invention can effectively solve the problem mentioned in the prior art that the horizontal adjacent placement design of the expansion electronic components will completely occupy the configuration space of the server chassis in the horizontal direction, resulting in the server device being unable to be additionally configured with other input and output connection ports, thereby greatly improving the configuration flexibility and expansion functionality of the server device in the installation of server components.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that the number of stacked electronic components of the server device of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and it can also adopt a stacking design with only two layers or more than three layers. For example, in another embodiment in which the third support member is omitted, the present invention can only use the first support member 26 and the second support member 30 that are linked and pivoted to each other through the linking piece 28 and the first bridge piece 32 to set the first electronic component 18 and the second electronic component 20 in the accommodating housing 24 to achieve a double-layer stacking configuration of the electronic components, wherein the above-mentioned positioning groove design can be selectively applied to the second support member 30 to assist the user to more quickly and accurately complete the assembly operation of setting the first support member 26 and the second support member 30 that are connected to each other in the accommodating housing 24, and the relevant description can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment by analogy, and will not be repeated here. As for the relevant description of other derivative variation embodiments using different numbers of stacked electronic components (for example, additional support members are added to link and pivot to the multi-layer (such as four or more layers) configuration under the third support member), it can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment by analogy, and will not be repeated here.

[0067] In addition, the types of electronic components that can be supported by the above-mentioned accommodating mechanism are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. In other words, as long as the electronic components can be installed on the supporting members that are linked and pivoted to each other (for example, by screw locking or the above-mentioned slide rail installation method, but not limited to this), the accommodating mechanism provided by the present invention can be applied. The following is an example of a configuration in which a first electronic component 18' and a second electronic component 20' are 2.5-inch hard disk devices and a third electronic component 22 is a network card that complies with the Open Compute Project 3.0 specification (but not limited to this). Please refer to Figure 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the assembly of the first electronic component 18', the second electronic component 20' and the third electronic component 22 and the accommodation mechanism 16' according to another embodiment of the present invention. The components in this embodiment and the above embodiment have the same number, which means that they have similar structures or functions. The relevant description can be inferred by referring to the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here. Figure 7As shown, the accommodating mechanism 16' may include an accommodating shell 24, a first support member 26, a second support member 30, a first bridging piece 32, a third support member 34, a second bridging piece 36, a slide rail member 52 and a second slide rail member 52', wherein the slide rail structure design of the slide rail member 52' ​​meets the sliding edge plate size specification of a 2.5-inch hard disk device so that the 2.5-inch hard disk device can be slidably inserted thereon. In this way, after the slide rail member 52 and the second slide rail member 52' ​​are sequentially fixed on the third support member 34, the second support member 30 and the first support member 26 translated to the offset position, the first support member 26 and the third support member 34 are translated to the stacking position relative to the second support member 30 respectively, and the first fixing structure 60 of the first support member 26 is detachably fixed to the second fixing structure 62 of the first side panel 38, the user can then insert the assembled accommodating mechanism 16' into the accommodating opening 1 of the server chassis 12. 3, and then the first electronic component 18', the second electronic component 20' and the third electronic component 22 are respectively installed on the first support member 26, the second support member 30 and the third support member 34 via the slide rail member 52 and the second slide rail member 52' ​​and electrically connected to the server body 14, so that the first electronic component 18', the second electronic component 20' and the third electronic component 22 can be preferably arranged in the accommodating shell 24 in an up-down stacking manner (but not limited to this), thereby completing the assembly and supporting operation of the accommodating mechanism 16'.

[0068] As can be seen from the above, the present invention can use the first support member, the second support member and the third support member that are pivotally connected to each other to support different types of electronic components. Therefore, the present invention can effectively solve the problem mentioned in the prior art that different types of expansion electronic components have different installation sizes and different types of expansion electronic components cannot be mixedly installed on the tray mechanism, thereby greatly improving the design flexibility and expansion functionality of the server equipment in the configuration of electronic components.

[0069] In practical applications, the present invention may adopt a configuration in which the linkage piece is omitted to further simplify the linkage support design of the accommodation mechanism. For example, see Figure 8 , Fig. 9 ,as well as Fig.10 , Figure 8 This is an enlarged schematic diagram of the first support member 26 and the second support member 30 connected via a first bridge piece 32' according to another embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 for Figure 8 The first support member 26, the second support member 30, and the first bridge piece 32' are enlarged schematic diagrams from another perspective, Fig.10 for Fig. 9The first support member 26 is aligned and stacked relative to the second support member 30 via the first bridge piece 32'.
