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

[0002] A server is a specialized network device that provides computing power and runs software applications within a network environment. It provides computing or application services to other clients within the network. The hard drive backplane is a key component of the server, connecting multiple hard drives to the host system. Current hard drive backplanes are mounted on hard drive cages. Due to the compact structure between the cages, installation and removal of the hard drive backplanes are inconvenient, making it difficult to deploy auxiliary tools. This also makes maintenance difficult if the hard drive backplane becomes damaged. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a hard disk backplane module and a server, which can realize the rapid installation and disassembly of the hard disk backplane without the need for auxiliary tools, thereby facilitating the maintenance of the hard disk backplane.

[0004] In order to achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a hard disk backplane module in a first aspect, comprising:

[0005] The hard disk cage has a first positioning hole on the back;

[0006] a hard disk backplane, disposed on the back of the hard disk cage, the hard disk backplane having a second positioning hole, the second positioning hole being disposed corresponding to the first positioning hole; and

[0007] A connecting assembly includes a pin, a spring, a pin sleeve, and a pin cap. The pin includes a limiting portion and a main body connected to the limiting portion. The pin sleeve is slidably installed in the pin cap via the spring. The main body passes through the pin sleeve and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pin cap. The limiting portion is sequentially inserted into the second positioning hole and the first positioning hole. The pin cap is used to drive the pin to rotate, so that the connecting assembly is in a locked state or an unlocked state.

[0008] Among them, when the connecting assembly is in a locked state, the pin cap drives the pin to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion cannot be pulled out from the first positioning hole. At this time, the spring applies elastic force to make the pin sleeve abut against the hard disk backplane, and the limiting portion abuts against the hard disk cage; when the connecting assembly is in an unlocked state, the pin cap drives the pin to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion can be pulled out from the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole.

[0009] In some embodiments, the shape of the limiting portion matches the shape of the first positioning hole, and the width and height of the limiting portion are not equal, and the width and height of the first positioning hole are not equal.

[0010] In some embodiments, the length of the main body is greater than the length of the pin sleeve.

[0011] In some embodiments, the pin sleeve has an annular groove at one end close to the pin cap, one end of the spring is installed in the annular groove, and the other end of the spring extends out of the annular groove and abuts against the inner wall of the pin cap.

[0012] In some embodiments, the outer edge of one end of the pin sleeve near the pin cap has a first retaining ring, and the inner wall of one end of the pin cap near the pin sleeve has a second retaining ring. When the connecting assembly is in an unlocked state, the spring applies elastic force to make the first retaining ring abut against the second retaining ring.

[0013] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the pin cap has anti-slip grooves, and the end of the pin cap away from the pin sleeve has a driving groove.

[0014] In some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage has a hook, the hard drive backplane has a third positioning hole, and the hook is installed in the third positioning hole.

[0015] In some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage has a connecting piece, the hard drive backplane has a fourth positioning hole, and the connecting piece is installed in the fourth positioning hole.

[0016] In some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage extends horizontally to form a mounting seat, the mounting seat has a slot, and the bottom of the hard drive backplane is inserted into the slot.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a server, comprising the hard disk backplane module provided in the first aspect.

[0018] The present invention provides a hard disk backplane module and a server, which have the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0019] The provided connecting assembly includes a pin, a spring, a pin sleeve and a pin cap, wherein the pin includes a limiting portion and a main body connected to the limiting portion, the pin sleeve is slidably installed in the pin cap by the spring, the main body passes through the pin sleeve and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pin cap, the limiting portion is sequentially inserted into the second positioning hole and the first positioning hole, and the pin cap is used to drive the pin to rotate, so that the connecting assembly is in a locked state or an unlocked state; when the connecting assembly is in the locked state, the pin cap drives the pin to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion cannot be pulled out of the first positioning hole, at which time the spring applies elastic force to cause the pin sleeve to abut against the hard disk backplane, and the limiting portion abuts against the hard disk cage; when the connecting assembly is in the unlocked state, the pin cap drives the pin to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion can be pulled out of the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole, so that the hard disk backplane can be installed and removed from the hard disk cage by rotating the pin cap, thereby realizing quick installation and disassembly of the hard disk backplane, without the need for auxiliary tools, and making the hard disk backplane easy to maintain.

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0029] It should be understood that in the description of this application, the terms "upper", "lower", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on this application. The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated, that is, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In addition, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" means two or more.

[0030] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the hard disk backplane module of some embodiments of the present invention includes: a hard disk cage 1, a hard disk backplane 2 and a connecting component 3.

[0032] The back of the hard drive cage 1 has a first positioning hole 11 . The hard drive back plate 2 is disposed on the back of the hard drive cage 1 . The hard drive back plate 2 has a second positioning hole 21 . The second positioning hole 21 is disposed correspondingly to the first positioning hole 11 .

[0033] The connecting component 3 includes a pin 31, a spring 32, a pin sleeve 33 and a pin cap 34. The pin 31 includes a limiting portion 311 and a main body 312 connected to the limiting portion 311. The pin sleeve 33 is slidably installed in the pin cap 34 through the spring 32. The main body 312 passes through the pin sleeve 33 and is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pin cap 34. The limiting portion 311 is inserted into the second positioning hole 21 and the first positioning hole 11 in sequence. The pin cap 34 is used to drive the pin 31 to rotate so that the connecting component 3 is in a locked state or an unlocked state.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the connecting component 3 is in the locked state, the pin cap 34 drives the pin 31 to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion 311 cannot be pulled out from the first positioning hole 11. At this time, the spring 32 applies elastic force to make the pin sleeve 33 abut against the hard disk backplane 2, and the limiting portion 311 abut against the hard disk cage 1; when the connecting component 3 is in the unlocked state, the pin cap 34 drives the pin 31 to rotate to an angle at which the limiting portion 311 can be pulled out from the first positioning hole 11 and the second positioning hole 21.

[0035] During use, the limiting portion 311 is sequentially inserted into the second positioning hole 21 and the first positioning hole 11, setting the connecting assembly 3 to the locked state. The spring 32 applies elastic force to cause the pin sleeve 33 to abut against the hard drive backplane 2, and the limiting portion 311 to abut against the hard drive cage 1. This ensures that the hard drive backplane 2 is stably installed on the back of the hard drive cage 1. When the connecting assembly 3 is set to the unlocked state, the limiting portion 311 can be inserted into or removed from the first positioning hole 11, thereby removing the connecting assembly 3 and disassembling the hard drive backplane 2 from the back of the hard drive cage 1.

[0036] Based on the hard disk backplane module of the above structure, the hard disk backplane 2 can be installed and removed on the hard disk cage 1 by rotating the pin cap 34, so that the hard disk backplane 2 can be quickly installed and disassembled without the need for auxiliary tools, making the hard disk backplane 2 easy to maintain.

[0037] like Figure 2 and 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the shape of the limiting portion 311 is adapted to the shape of the first positioning hole 11, and the width and height of the limiting portion 311 are not equal, and the width and height of the first positioning hole 11 are not equal. Exemplarily, the width of the limiting portion 311 is smaller than the height, and the width of the first positioning hole 11 is smaller than the height. In this way, when the pin cap 34 is rotated to set the limiting portion 311 vertically, the limiting portion 311 can be inserted into or removed from the first positioning hole 11, and the connecting assembly 3 is in an unlocked state; when the pin cap 34 is rotated to set the limiting portion 311 horizontally, the limiting portion 311 cannot be inserted into or removed from the first positioning hole 11, and the connecting assembly 3 is in a locked state.

[0038] like Figure 6 and 7As shown, in some embodiments, the length of the main body 312 is greater than the length of the pin sleeve 33. In this way, when the pin sleeve 33 slides in the pin cap 34, it will not be blocked by the limiting portion 311.

[0039] like Figure 3 and 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the pin sleeve 33 has an annular groove 35 at one end near the pin cap 34. One end of the spring 32 is mounted in the annular groove 35, and the other end of the spring 32 extends out of the annular groove 35 and abuts against the inner wall of the pin cap 34. In this way, the annular groove 35 can maintain the installation position of the spring 32 stable.

[0040] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer edge of the pin sleeve 33 near the pin cap has a first retaining ring 36, and the inner wall of the pin cap 34 near the pin sleeve 33 has a second retaining ring 37. When the connecting assembly 3 is in the unlocked state, the spring 32 applies elastic force to make the first retaining ring 36 abut against the second retaining ring 37. In this way, the pin sleeve 33 will not fall off the pin cap 34, maintaining ease of use.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the outer peripheral wall of the pin cap 34 has anti-slip grooves 38, and the end of the pin cap 34 away from the pin sleeve 33 has a drive groove 39. In this way, the anti-slip grooves 38 facilitate manual rotation of the pin cap 34, and the drive groove 39 allows the pin cap 34 to be rotated by a screwdriver.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage 1 has a hook 12, and the hard drive backplane 2 has a third positioning hole 22, and the hook 12 is installed in the third positioning hole 22. In this way, the hard drive backplane 2 can only move in the height direction, further improving the installation stability of the hard drive backplane 2.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage 1 has a connector 13, and the hard drive backplane 2 has a fourth positioning hole 23. The connector 13 is installed in the fourth positioning hole 23. Specifically, the bottom width of the fourth positioning hole 23 is greater than the top width, so that the hard drive backplane 2 is hung on the connector 13 through the fourth positioning hole 23, so that the hard drive backplane 2 can only move in the height direction, further improving the installation stability of the hard drive backplane 2. The connector 13 can be a bolt, rivet, or flat head pin.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the back of the hard drive cage 1 extends horizontally to form a mounting base 14. The mounting base 14 has a slot 141, and the bottom of the hard drive backplane 2 is inserted into the slot 141. In this way, the hard drive backplane 2 can only move in the height direction, further improving the installation stability of the hard drive backplane 2.

[0045] The server of some other embodiments of the present invention includes the hard disk backplane module provided by some embodiments.

[0046] Based on the server with the above structure, the hard disk backplane 2 can be installed and removed from the hard disk cage 1 by rotating the pin cap 34, so that the hard disk backplane 2 can be quickly installed and removed without the need for auxiliary tools, making the hard disk backplane 2 easy to maintain.

[0047] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
