Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of hard disk installation, and in particular to an installation device and a server for a hard disk. Background Art

[0002] During the use of current servers, there may be a problem of insufficient storage space. At this time, technicians are usually required to add additional mechanical hard disks to expand the storage space. However, in existing practices, the process of adding a mechanical hard disk often involves fixing it to the hard disk bracket with bolts. This approach brings significant inconvenience when the internal space of the server casing is limited. Specifically, when technicians disassemble and assemble hard disks in a narrow space, the operation is difficult and usually requires additional disassembly tools; and as time goes by, the bolts may rust due to air oxidation, which not only increases the difficulty of disassembly, but may also cause thread slippage during the installation process. Once the bolts are damaged or difficult to use, they need to be replaced with new bolts, and subsequent maintenance may even be difficult because the bolts cannot be disassembled. Summary of the invention

[0003] The present application provides a mounting device and a server for a hard disk, so as to at least solve the problem of the difficulty in maintaining the hard disk when fixed with bolts in the related art.

[0004] The present application provides an installation device for a hard disk, comprising an installation box, a locking structure and an elastic structure; a accommodating cavity is provided inside the installation box, and an installation opening is provided on the side in a first direction, the installation opening is communicated with the accommodating cavity, and is used for installing the hard disk; the locking structure is slidably connected in the accommodating cavity; the elastic structure is arranged in the accommodating cavity and is connected to the locking structure, and is used to provide an elastic force in a first direction for the locking structure; the hard disk extends into the accommodating cavity through the installation opening and abuts against the locking structure; when the hard disk is pressed along the second direction, the locking structure has a locked state locked with the installation box; when the hard disk is pressed again along the second direction, the locking structure has an unlocked state unlocked with the installation box; the second direction is the assembly direction of the hard disk, and the second direction is opposite to the first direction.

[0005] The present application also provides a server, including a body and a hard disk; the hard disk is fixed in the body by the above-mentioned installation device for the hard disk.

[0006] With this application, since the locking structure is slidably connected in the accommodating cavity, the hard disk passes through the installation opening and extends into the accommodating cavity. After abutting against the locking structure, when the hard disk is pressed along the second direction, the locking structure slides synchronously with the hard disk along the second direction until it is locked with the placement box and is in a locked state, realizing the installation of the hard disk in the accommodating cavity. Since the locking structure is connected to the elastic structure, and the elastic structure provides an elastic force in the first direction for the locking structure, and the second direction is the assembly direction of the hard disk, and the second direction and the first direction are opposite to each other. Therefore, when the hard disk is pressed again along the second direction and the locking structure is unlocked from the placement box and is in an unlocked state, under the elastic force of the elastic structure, the locking structure slides along the first direction. Since the hard disk abuts against the locking structure, the locking structure drives the hard disk to slide synchronously along the first direction, and the hard disk can slide out of the accommodating cavity through the installation opening. At this time, the hard disk can be removed along the first direction. Through the cooperation between the elastic structure and the locking structure, the press-fit locking of the hard disk is realized, and it can be unlocked and disassembled by pressing again, which saves time and effort and is convenient for maintenance. Therefore, the technical problem of difficult maintenance of the hard disk fixed by bolts can be solved, and the technical effect of realizing the assembly and disassembly of the hard disk without using tools and simplifying the assembly and disassembly steps can be achieved.

[0022] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] The embodiments of the present application provide an installation device and a server for a hard disk 2. Combining the structure and working principle of the installation device and the server for the hard disk 2, the device will be described in detail.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a mounting device for a hard disk 2 is provided, including a placement box 1, a locking structure, and an elastic structure 4; an accommodation cavity 11 is provided inside the placement box 1, and an installation opening 12 is provided on the side in the first direction. The installation opening 12 is communicated with the accommodation cavity 11 for installing the hard disk 2; the locking structure is slidably connected in the accommodation cavity 11; the elastic structure 4 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 11 and is connected to the locking structure for providing an elastic force in the first direction to the locking structure; the hard disk 2 passes through the installation opening 12 and extends into the accommodation cavity 11 and abuts against the locking structure; when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction, the locking structure has a locked state of locking with the placement box 1; when the hard disk 2 is pressed again along the second direction, the locking structure has an unlocked state of unlocking with the placement box 1; the second direction is the assembly direction of the hard disk 2, and the second direction and the first direction are opposite to each other.

[0025] Since the locking structure is slidably connected in the accommodation cavity 11, and the hard disk 2 passes through the installation opening 12 and extends into the accommodation cavity 11 and abuts against the locking structure, when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction, the locking structure slides synchronously with the hard disk 2 along the second direction until it locks with the placement box 1 and is in a locked state, realizing the installation of the hard disk 2 in the accommodation cavity 11; since the locking structure is connected to the elastic structure 4, and the elastic structure 4 provides an elastic force in the first direction to the locking structure, and the second direction is the assembly direction of the hard disk 2, and the second direction and the first direction are opposite to each other, so when the hard disk 2 is pressed again along the second direction and the locking structure is unlocked with the placement box 1 and is in an unlocked state, under the elastic force of the elastic structure 4, the locking structure slides along the first direction. Since the hard disk 2 abuts against the locking structure, the locking structure drives the hard disk 2 to slide synchronously along the first direction, and the hard disk 2 can slide out of the accommodation cavity 11 from the installation opening 12. At this time, the hard disk 2 can be removed along the first direction. Through the cooperation between the elastic structure 4 and the locking structure, the press-fitting and locking of the hard disk 2 are realized, and unlocking and disassembling can be achieved by pressing again. The assembly and disassembly of the hard disk 2 can be realized without using tools, simplifying the assembly and disassembly steps, saving time and effort, and being convenient for maintenance.

[0026] In one embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, the placement box 1 further includes a positioning rod 13, and the positioning rod 13 is rotatably connected in the accommodation cavity 11; the locking structure includes a positioning frame 31 and a limiting component; the positioning frame 31 is connected to the elastic structure 4; the limiting component is arranged in the positioning frame 31; when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction, the positioning frame 31 slides to the side away from the installation opening 12, and the limiting component locks with the positioning rod 13, and the locking structure is in a locked state; when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction, the positioning frame 31 continues to slide to the side away from the installation opening 12, and the limiting component unlocks with the positioning rod 13, and the locking structure is in an unlocked state.

[0027] By setting the positioning frame 31 to be connected to the elastic structure 4, the basic connection and positioning between the locking structure and the elastic structure 4 are ensured, achieving a firm connection between the locking structure and the elastic structure 4; since the positioning rod 13 is rotatably connected to the placement box 1, the rotational flexibility of the positioning rod 13 is enhanced, facilitating the cooperation between the positioning rod 13 and the limiting component; by setting the limiting component, the control of the locked state and the unlocked state of the locking structure is realized. When the limiting component and the positioning rod 13 are locked and cooperated with each other, the locking structure cannot move randomly or deviate from its predetermined position, effectively fixing the locking structure in the locked state; by unlocking and separating the limiting component from the positioning rod 13, the unlocking of the locking structure is realized, enabling the locking structure to change from the locked state to the unlocked state. By setting the connection between the positioning frame 31 and the elastic structure 4, and utilizing the locking and unlocking mechanisms of the limiting component and the positioning rod 13, we have achieved precise control over the state of the locking structure.

[0028] In one embodiment, the positioning rod 13 includes a fixed section 131 and a positioning section 132 connected in sequence. The fixed section 131 is rotatably connected to the placement box 1; in the third direction, the fixed section 131 is spaced apart from the limiting component; the positioning section 132 is arranged at an angle with the fixed section 131 and extends in the direction approaching the limiting component; the third direction is perpendicular to the first direction; when the locking structure is in the locked state, the positioning section 132 is snap-locked with the limiting component.

[0029] Since in the third direction, the fixed section 131 is spaced apart from the limiting component, when the locking structure slides along the first direction or the second direction, sufficient space can be maintained between the fixed section 131 and the limiting component, thus avoiding physical interference between the two, not only ensuring the smoothness of the sliding, but also ensuring the stability and safety during the sliding process; since in the third direction, the positioning section 132 is arranged at an angle with the fixed section 131 and extends in the direction approaching the limiting component, the snap-locking between the positioning section 132 and the limiting component is realized in the locked state.

[0030] In one embodiment, the locking structure further includes a guiding track, which is arranged between the positioning frame 31 and the limiting component; the guiding track is provided with a locked position and an unlocked position, and the positioning section 132 is slidably engaged with the guiding track. When the positioning section 132 slides to the locked position, the locking structure is in the locked state; when the positioning section 132 slides to the unlocked position, the locking structure is in the unlocked state.

[0031] By setting the guiding track to cooperate with the positioning section 132, when the hard disk 2 is pressed and pressed again, the locking structure can be switched between the locked state and the unlocked state by the switching of the positioning section 132 between the locked position and the unlocked position.

[0032] In one embodiment, the limiting component includes a first limiting block 321, a second limiting block 322, and a third limiting block 323; the first limiting block 321 is fixed within the positioning frame 31, and a first channel 331 is provided between the bottom of the first limiting block 321 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31; the second limiting block 322 is fixed within the positioning frame 31, on the side of the first limiting block 321 closer to the mounting opening 12, a second channel is provided between the second limiting block 322 and the first limiting block 321, a third channel 332 is provided between the second limiting block 322 and the top wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and a fourth channel 333 is provided between the second limiting block 322 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31; the third limiting block 323 is fixed within the positioning frame 31, on the side of the second limiting block 322 closer to the mounting opening 12, a fifth channel 334 is provided between the third limiting block 323 and the second limiting block 322; a positioning groove 3221 is provided on the second limiting block 322, and the positioning groove 3221 divides the fifth channel 334 into a locking channel and an unlocking channel; the locking position is arranged within the positioning groove 3221; the guiding track includes a first track and a second track, and the first channel 331, the fourth channel 333, and the locking channel are sequentially connected to form the first track; the unlocking channel, the third channel 332, the second channel, and the first channel 331 are sequentially connected to form the second track; the unlocking position is located within the second track; when pressing the hard disk 2 along the second direction, the positioning section 132 slides from the first track to the locking position, and the locking structure is in the locked state; when pressing the hard disk 2 along the second direction, the positioning section 132 slides from the locking position to the second track, the positioning section 132 is located at the unlocking position, and the locking structure is in the unlocked state.

[0033] By providing the first limiting block 321, the second limiting block 322, and the third limiting block 323, the designs of the first channel 331, the second channel, the third channel 332, the fourth channel 333, and the fifth channel 334 are realized. Moreover, since the locking position is arranged within the positioning groove 3221 and the unlocking position is located within the second track, the locking and unlocking functions of the positioning section 132 at different positions are realized. When pressing the hard disk 2 along the second direction, the positioning section 132 slides from the first track into the positioning groove 3221, the positioning section 132 is at the locking position, and the positioning section 132 is clamped and locked with the second limiting block 322. At this time, the locking structure is in the locked state. If pressing the hard disk 2 along the second direction again, the positioning section 132 will start to move out of the positioning groove 3221 and enter the second track. Within the second track, the positioning section 132 is at the unlocking position, the locking structure is in the unlocked state, and the positioning section 132 is no longer clamped and locked with any limiting block 516. Such a design ensures the stability and controllability of the hard disk 2 in different operating states. Through the movement of the positioning section 132 between different channels and the clamping and locking with the second limiting block 322, the locking and unlocking functions of the hard disk 2 are realized.

[0034] Preferably, a sliding assembly is further provided in the placement box 1. The sliding assembly includes a sliding frame, a driving member, and a gear. The sliding frame includes a sliding plate and a baffle. The sliding plate is disposed on the side of the hard disk 2, between the hard disk 2 and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11. The baffle is disposed on the side where the installation opening 12 is located. The baffle is connected to the sliding plate and encloses to form an accommodating groove. The driving member and the gear are disposed between the sliding plate and the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11. The driving member is fixed on the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the gear is fixed on the driving end of the driving member. The driving member can drive the gear to rotate under the control of the control device. A rack is convexly provided on the side of the sliding plate close to the gear, and the rack meshes with the gear. When installing the hard disk 2, first place the hard disk 2 in the accommodating groove, and then control the gear to rotate, driving the sliding frame to slide along the second direction. The baffle applies a thrust to the hard disk 2 along the second direction, pushing the hard disk 2 to slide along the second direction, thereby realizing the installation of the hard disk 2. The setting of the baffle can also prevent the hard disk 2 from accidentally falling out of the accommodating cavity 11, ensuring the stability of the installation of the hard disk 2. Further, a positioning sensor is provided at the unlocking position. The positioning sensor is communicatively connected to the control device. When the hard disk 2 needs to be disassembled, the control device controls the gear to drive the sliding frame to continue sliding along the second direction. When the positioning section 132 is at the unlocking position, the positioning sensor sends a signal to the control device, and the control device controls the gear to drive the sliding frame to continue sliding along the first direction, which can release the restriction of the baffle of the sliding frame on the hard disk 2. Under the elastic force of the elastic structure 4, the hard disk 2 can slide out of the accommodating cavity 11.

[0035] In one embodiment, a first guiding inclined surface 3231 is provided on the side of the third limiting block 323 close to the positioning groove 3221, and the first guiding inclined surface 3231 is located on the side close to the fourth channel 333. Along the direction away from the installation opening 12, the distance between the first guiding inclined surface 3231 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases, for guiding the positioning section 132 into the positioning groove 3221.

[0036] Since the distance between the first guiding inclined surface 3231 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases along the direction away from the installation opening 12, when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction and the locking structure slides along the second direction, the first guiding inclined surface 3231 can guide the positioning section 132 to smoothly enter the positioning groove 3221 during the movement, and provides a smooth transition path for the positioning section 132, reducing the resistance or jamming caused by direct collision, improving the smoothness and efficiency of the assembly, reducing component wear, and enhancing the stability during the locking process.

[0037] In one embodiment, a second guiding inclined surface is provided in the positioning groove 3221. The second guiding inclined surface is located on the side close to the third channel 332. Along the direction close to the installation opening 12, the distance between the second guiding inclined surface and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases, for guiding the positioning section 132 into the third channel 332.

[0038] Since the distance between the second guiding inclined surface and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases along the direction close to the mounting opening 12, when the hard disk 2 is pressed along the second direction and the locking structure slides along the second direction, the first guiding inclined surface 3231 can guide the positioning section 132 to smoothly slide out of the positioning groove 3221 during the movement, and provides a smooth transition path for the positioning section 132, reducing the resistance or jamming caused by direct collision, improving the smoothness and efficiency of assembly, reducing component wear, and enhancing the stability during the unlocking process.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, a fourth guiding inclined surface is provided on one side of the third limiting block 323 close to the positioning groove 3221, and the fourth guiding inclined surface is located on the side close to the third channel 332; along the direction close to the mounting opening 12, the distance between the fourth guiding inclined surface and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases. Specifically, the fourth guiding inclined surface is parallel and spaced from the second guiding inclined surface, and the fourth guiding inclined surface is located below the second guiding inclined surface. Specifically, the first guiding inclined surface 3231 and the fourth guiding inclined surface are connected by an arc transition.

[0040] In a specific embodiment, a fifth guiding inclined surface is provided in the positioning groove 3221, and the fifth guiding inclined surface is located on the side close to the fourth channel 333; along the direction close to the mounting opening 12, the distance between the fifth guiding inclined surface and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually decreases. Specifically, the fifth guiding inclined surface is parallel and spaced from the first guiding inclined surface 3231, and the first guiding inclined surface 3231 is located below the fifth guiding inclined surface. Specifically, the fifth guiding inclined surface and the second guiding inclined surface are connected by an arc transition. Specifically, the positioning groove 3221 is arranged in a "V" shape.

[0041] In an embodiment, a third guiding inclined surface 3211 is provided on one side of the first limiting block 321 close to the second limiting block 322. Along the direction close to the mounting opening 12, the distance between the third guiding inclined surface 3211 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases, and is used to guide the positioning section 132 into the first channel 331.

[0042] Since the distance between the third guiding inclined surface 3211 and the bottom plate of the positioning frame 31 gradually increases along the direction close to the mounting opening 12, when the locking structure is in the unlocked state, the third guiding inclined surface 3211 can guide the positioning section 132 to smoothly slide into the first channel 331 during the movement, and provides a smooth transition path for the positioning section 132, reducing the resistance or jamming caused by direct collision, improving the smoothness and efficiency of assembly, reducing component wear, and enhancing the stability during the unlocking process.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, first, a thrust is applied to the hard disk 2 along the second direction. When the locking structure moves away from the mounting opening 12 under the thrust, the positioning section 132 enters the fourth channel 333 below the second limiting block 322 from the first channel 331. Then, under the guiding action of the first guiding inclined surface 3231 of the third limiting block 323, it slides into the positioning groove 3221 of the second limiting block 322. At this time, the thrust applied to the locking structure is withdrawn, and the limiting component is locked with the positioning rod 13, and the locking structure is in a locked state. When unlocking is required, a thrust is applied to the hard disk 2 again along the second direction. When the locking structure moves away from the mounting opening 12 under the thrust, the positioning section 132 slides out of the positioning groove 3221 of the second limiting block 322 under the guiding action of the second guiding inclined surface and the fourth guiding inclined surface, and enters the third channel 332 above the second limiting block 322. Subsequently, the thrust applied to the locking structure is withdrawn, and the locking structure can slide towards the side close to the mounting opening 12 under the characteristic of the elastic potential energy reset of the elastic structure 4, so as to take out the hard disk 2, and the positioning section 132 slides into the first channel 331 along the guiding of the third guiding inclined surface 3211 on the first limiting block 321 to restore its original state. Specifically, in the non-working state, the positioning section 132 is located in the first channel 331.

[0044] In one embodiment, a positioning plate 34 protrudes from the side of the locking structure close to the hard disk 2, and the positioning plate 34 is used to abut against the hard disk 2.

[0045] By providing the positioning plate 34, it is ensured that the hard disk 2 can accurately find the docking point of the hard disk 2 when moving into the accommodation cavity 11, enhancing the abutting stability and reliability between the two.

[0046] In one embodiment, the elastic structure 4 includes a first positioning column 41, a second positioning column 42, and an elastic compression member 43; the first positioning column 41 is fixed on the inner wall of the accommodation cavity 11; the second positioning column 42 is fixedly connected to the locking structure and is arranged at an interval from the first positioning column 41; both ends of the elastic compression member 43 are respectively connected to the first positioning column 41 and the second positioning column 42.

[0047] Through the arrangement of the first positioning column 41, the second positioning column 42, and the elastic compression member 43, an effective connection between the elastic structure 4, the placement box 1, and the locking structure is realized, and it is ensured that the elastic structure 4 can provide a stable elastic force for the locking structure in the first direction.

[0048] Specifically, the elastic compression member 43 is a compression spring.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, a connecting plate 35 protrudes from the side of the positioning frame 31 close to the first positioning column 41, and the second positioning column 42 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 35.

[0050] In one embodiment, a connection port 14 is provided on the placement box 1. The connection port 14 communicates with the accommodation cavity 11 and is disposed opposite to the installation port 12 for the insertion of a connecting wire harness.

[0051] By providing the connection port 14, the connection of the hard disk 2 to the external connecting wire harness is realized, ensuring a stable and efficient connection between the hard disk 2 and external devices.

[0052] Specifically, the connection head of the hard disk 2 is located on the side where the connection port 14 is located, and the connecting wire harness can pass through the connection port 14 to connect with the hard disk 2.

[0053] Specifically, when the hard disk 2 is installed in place, the connecting wire harness passes through the connection port 14 to connect with the hard disk 2. When disassembling the hard disk 2, first disassemble and separate the connector of the connecting wire harness from the hard disk 2, and then press the hard disk 2 to disassemble the hard disk 2.

[0054] Specifically, when the locking structure is in the locked state, there is a gap between the hard disk 2 and the side wall where the connection port 14 is located. When pressing the hard disk 2 again along the second direction, the hard disk 2 has a margin for displacement along the second direction again.

[0055] In a specific embodiment, during the installation process of the hard disk 2, the hard disk 2 is inserted into the installation port 12 of the connection component until one side of the hard disk 2 abuts against the positioning plate 34. Under the action of the thrust force, the hard disk 2 pushes the positioning plate 34 to drive the locking structure to continuously displace along the second direction, and drives the elastic compression member 43 connected between the first positioning post 41 and the second positioning post 42 to be stretched synchronously. When the hard disk 2 is pushed into the accommodation cavity 11, the positioning rod 13 is locked with the limiting component, and the locking structure is in the locked state, thereby positioning the positioning plate 34 so that it cannot move in the first direction. The hard disk 2 is located in the accommodation cavity 11, and the installation work is completed. When it is necessary to replace and disassemble the hard disk 2, press the hard disk 2 again along the second direction, and the hard disk 2 displaces again along the second direction. At this time, when the locking structure moves away from the installation port 12 under the thrust force, the positioning section 132 slides out of the positioning groove 3221 of the second limiting block 322 under the guiding action of the second guiding inclined surface and the fourth guiding inclined surface, the limiting component is unlocked from the positioning rod 13, and the locking structure is in the unlocked state. Then, cancel the thrust force applied to the locking structure, and the locking structure slides along the first direction under the elastic potential energy reset characteristic of the elastic compression member 43, so that the hard disk 2 can slide out of the accommodation cavity 11. Finally, the hard disk 2 can be taken out of the placement box 1 for replacement work.

[0056] In one embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes a heat dissipation structure 5. The placement box 1 is provided with a placement groove 15 and a partition structure. The placement groove 15 and the accommodating cavity 11 are respectively located on both sides of the partition structure along the third direction, and the heat dissipation structure 5 is fixed in the placement groove 15; the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0057] During the use of the server, if its virtual memory is not sufficient, the data reading and writing burden of the hard disk 2 will increase, resulting in an increase in the workload of the hard disk 2, so that the surface temperature will also increase accordingly; the heat dissipation structure 5 is set in this application, and the excess heat generated during the operation of the hard disk 2 is discharged in time through continuous and efficient heat dissipation operations, thereby ensuring that the working temperature of the hard disk 2 is maintained at a relatively stable level. Even when the server virtual memory is tight and the workload of the hard disk 2 increases, the hard disk 2 can avoid the risk of performance degradation or damage caused by overheating. The continuous effect of the heat dissipation structure 5 not only significantly extends the service life of the hard disk 2, but also ensures that the hard disk 2 can still maintain its normal working efficiency in a complex working environment.

[0058] In one embodiment, a first through hole 161 is provided on the partition structure; the heat dissipation structure 5 includes a heat dissipation shell, a heat dissipation module 52, a thermal pad 53 and a cooling fin 54; the heat dissipation shell is fixed in the mounting groove 15, and a second through hole 511 is provided on a side close to the partition structure, and a heat dissipation hole 512 is provided on a side away from the partition structure; the heat dissipation module 52 is arranged in the heat dissipation shell; the heat dissipation module 52 includes a heat dissipation fin 521 and a heat dissipation fan 522, and the heat dissipation fin 521 and the heat dissipation fan 522 are arranged in sequence along a first direction, and the heat dissipation fan 522 is located on the side where the heat dissipation hole 512 is located; the thermal pad 53 is arranged in the heat dissipation shell, and is located on a side of the heat dissipation module 52 close to the partition structure, and a third through hole 531 is provided on the thermal pad 53; one end of the cooling fin 54 is fixed to the heat dissipation fin 521, and the other end passes through the third through hole 531, the second through hole 511 and the first through hole 161 in sequence, and abuts against the hard disk 2.

[0059] Since the cooling fan 522 generates vibration and noise during operation, and continuous vibration and noise may damage the precision components inside the hard disk 2, the vibration and noise generated by the cooling fan 522 during operation can be greatly reduced by providing a thermal pad 53, which not only optimizes the working environment of the hard disk 2, reduces unnecessary interference, and helps to extend the service life of the hard disk 2; by providing a cooling plate 54, the contact area between the heat sink 521 and the hard disk 2 is increased, the efficiency of heat conduction is improved, and the production cost of the heat sink 521 is reduced. In addition, the larger contact area allows heat to be transferred from the hard disk 2 to the heat sink 521 more quickly, and then discharged through the cooling fan 522. This process accelerates the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard disk 2 and ensures that the hard disk 2 can maintain a suitable operating temperature even when running at high load.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the first through hole 161 is a circular hole, and the partition structure is provided with a first arc-shaped groove 162. The first arc-shaped groove 162 is located on the outer periphery of the first through hole 161, is spaced from the first through hole 161, and a first magnetic block is embedded in the first arc-shaped groove 162. The second through hole 511 is a circular hole, and the heat dissipation shell is provided with a second arc-shaped groove 513. The second arc-shaped groove 513 is located on the outer periphery of the second through hole 511, is spaced from the second through hole 511, and a second magnetic block is embedded in the second arc-shaped groove 513; specifically, when installing the heat dissipation structure 5, the first magnetic block and the second magnetic block attract each other for magnetic fixing.

[0061] Specifically, the third through hole 531 is a circular hole.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, two limiting grooves 151 are provided on one side wall of the placement groove 15; the heat dissipation shell includes a connecting shell 514 and a cover 515; the second through hole 511 and the second arc-shaped groove 513 are both provided on the connecting shell 514; the heat dissipation holes 512 are provided on the cover 515; one end of the connecting shell 514 near one end of the limiting groove 151 is fixedly connected with two symmetrically distributed limiting blocks 516, and the two limiting blocks 516 are respectively clamped in the two limiting grooves 151.

[0063] Specifically, there are a plurality of heat dissipation holes 512, and the plurality of heat dissipation holes 512 are spaced from each other and evenly distributed.

[0064] Specifically, the heat conduction pad 53 is a heat conduction silica gel pad and is fixed in the connecting shell 514.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, when the heat dissipation structure 5 needs to be installed, first, the second magnetic block is embedded into the second arc-shaped groove 513, and the heat conduction pad 53 is attached to the inner wall of the connecting shell 514 to form a fixed installation frame. Then, the heat dissipation fins 521 and the heat dissipation fan 522 are installed on the heat conduction pad 53, and finally, the cover 515 is installed and fixed. During use, the refrigeration sheet 54 first adsorbs the heat dissipated by the hard disk 2, transfers part of the heat to the heat dissipation fins 521, and under the action of the heat dissipation fan 522, releases the heat to the outside through the heat dissipation holes 512, thereby completing the heat dissipation treatment of the hard disk 2. Compared with the traditional heat dissipation structure 5, the present application does not require bolts for fixed installation, is more convenient in installation and disassembly, and effectively reduces the damage to the hard disk 2 caused by the vibration force when the heat dissipation fan 522 is installed by bolts.

[0066] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, a server is further provided, including a body and a hard disk 2; the hard disk 2 is fixed in the body through the above-mentioned installation device for the hard disk 2.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, asFigure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figure 2 , the body includes a frame 61 and a dust-proof plate 62; the frame 61 is provided with an installation groove 611 for fixing the installation device of the hard disk 2 therein; the dust-proof plate 62 is slidably clamped at the notch of the installation groove 611.

[0068] In a specific embodiment, a power switch 63 is installed at the upper end of the body. Two installation grooves 611 are respectively provided on both sides of the server body along the third direction, and there are also two dust-proof plates 62. The two dust-proof plates 62 are respectively slidably clamped at the notches of the two installation grooves 611. During the use process, in order to avoid phenomena such as thread slipping when adding an additional mechanical hard disk 2, rust on the screws making them difficult to disassemble, or difficulty in fixing the screws due to narrow space, in this application, through a boltless installation method, the mechanical hard disk 2 can be installed into the reserved hard disk 2 box, avoiding the inconvenience when adding the hard disk 2. Among them, as Figure 1 shown, when adding the hard disk 2, the limit of the dust-proof plate 62 on one side of the body along the third direction can be released first, and the dust-proof plate 62 on one side along the third direction can be disassembled. After the dust-proof plate 62 on one side along the third direction is opened, the installation groove 611 on one side of the body along the third direction presents a hollow state. The hard disk 2 can be placed inside the placement box 1 for fixation to complete the installation of the hard disk 2. And when subsequent disassembly is required, only the connector of the connection cable of the connection head of the hard disk 2 needs to be unplugged, and then the hard disk 2 is pressed again, and the hard disk 2 can automatically exit the placement box 1 to complete the disassembly work of the hard disk 2. And at the same time, when other accessories need to be added, such as Figure 10 shown, the dust-proof plate 62 on the other side along the third direction can also be disassembled. At this time, the installation groove 611 on the other side of the body along the third direction is completely exposed. Personnel can attach a fitting of the corresponding size to the inner wall of the body and fix the fitting to the inner wall of the body with screws on the outside, greatly facilitating the installation work of the internal components and not easily causing difficult installation due to the narrow internal space of the body.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, a positioning frame is provided on the inner wall of the installation groove 611. The positioning frame is located on the side close to the notch of the installation groove 611. The positioning frame includes a first positioning strip 6121 and two second positioning strips 6122. The two second positioning strips 6122 are respectively arranged on two opposite inner walls of the installation groove 611. The first positioning strip 6121 is located at one end of the second positioning strip 6122 and is arranged on the inner wall adjacent to both second positioning strips 6122. The dust-proof plate 62 slides along the other end of the second positioning strip 6122 towards the first positioning strip 6121. A plurality of uniformly distributed first positioning holes 6123 are formed on the surface of the first positioning strip 6121, and a plurality of uniformly distributed second positioning holes 6124 are formed on the surface of the second positioning strip 6122. An elastic clip 6125 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the first positioning holes 6123; As Figures 7 to 9 shown, one end of the elastic clip 6125 is higher than the surface of the positioning frame. The second positioning hole 6124 is composed of a first rectangular groove section 61241 and a second rectangular groove section 61242 which are arranged in sequence and communicate with each other along the sliding direction of the dust-proof plate 62. Among them, the first rectangular groove section 61241 is closer to the elastic clip 6125, and the width of the first rectangular groove section 61241 is smaller than the width of the second rectangular groove section 61242. Three third positioning strips 621 are fixedly connected to the side of the dust-proof plate 62 close to the installation groove 611. The first positioning strip 6121 and the two second positioning strips 6122 are respectively arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the three third positioning strips 621; A plurality of uniformly distributed first clamping blocks 622 are fixedly connected to the two sides of the dust-proof plate 62 corresponding to the two second positioning strips 6122, and a plurality of uniformly distributed second clamping blocks 623 are fixedly connected to the side of the dust-proof plate 62 corresponding to the first positioning strip 6121. Two symmetrically distributed positioning holes 624 are also provided on the dust-proof plate 62, and both two positioning holes 624 are located on the side opposite to the second clamping blocks 623. Further, on the other side along the third direction, the thickness of the first positioning strip 6121 is equal to the distance between the dust-proof plate 62 and the side wall of the machine body.

[0070] In a specific embodiment, when limiting and fixing the dust-proof plate 62, the second clamping block 623 is inserted into the gap between the elastic clip 6125 and the first positioning hole 6123. When the second clamping block 623 squeezes the elastic clip 6125 to deform, the elastic clip 6125 is urged to flip outward, and the second clamping block 623 is clamped under its own resilience to achieve the positioning of the second clamping block 623. Since the width of the first rectangular groove section 61241 of the second positioning hole 6124 is smaller than the width of the second rectangular groove section 61242, when the first clamping block 622 gradually inserts into the second positioning hole 6124 as the dust-proof plate 62 slides, it can be limited and fixed in the first rectangular groove section 61241. After the dust-proof plate 62 slides into place, the dust-proof plate 62 is attached to the side wall on the other side of the machine body along the third direction under the support of the third positioning strip 621 to ensure the stability of the installation of the dust-proof plate 62. Finally, the dust-proof plate 62 is fixed by the threaded knob in the positioning hole 624. At this time, the dust-proof plate 62 is fixed under the limitation of the elastic clip 6125, the second positioning hole 6124, and the threaded knob, completing the installation of the dust-proof plate 62. When disassembling the dust-proof plate 62 subsequently, the threaded knob is screwed out, and the dust-proof plate 62 is pushed to the side away from the elastic clip 6125, so that the second clamping block 623 disengages from the gap between the first positioning hole 6123 and the elastic clip 6125, and the first clamping block 622 disengages from the inside of the second positioning hole 6124, thereby realizing the disassembly of the dust-proof plate 62. Then, other components can be correspondingly installed on the installation groove 611 on the other side of the machine body along the third direction.
