[0002] With the rise of big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence (AI), the storage capacity requirements for computing devices are increasing.

[0003] As the requirements for the storage capacity of computing devices increase, the number of hard disk modules in computing devices is also increasing. The hard disk module includes a hard disk mounting bracket and a hard disk body located in the hard disk mounting bracket. The hard disk can be installed in the hard disk mounting bracket by fasteners and structural parts. The fasteners and structural parts will occupy the space in the hard disk mounting bracket, making the volume occupied by the hard disk module larger. When disassembling the hard disk, it is necessary to use disassembly tools to remove the fasteners. Therefore, the hard disk mounting bracket needs to have an operating space for the disassembly tools, which further increases the volume occupied by the hard disk module, making the number of hard disk modules accommodated in the computing device smaller, making it difficult to meet the storage capacity requirements of the computing device. In addition, the use of installation tools to remove the hard disk from the hard disk mounting bracket makes the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the hard disk low.

[0004] Therefore, reducing the volume of the hard disk module and improving the efficiency of disassembling and assembling the hard disk module have become problems that need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

[0065] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a data center provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0066] See also Figure 1 As shown, the data center 1000 is a globally collaborative specific device network used to transmit, accelerate, display, calculate, and store data information on the Internet infrastructure. The data center 1000 provided in the embodiment of the present application may include a computer room 20 and at least one computing device 10 disposed in the computer room 20. It can be understood that the computer room 20 may be a closed room or a room with one or more sides open; the computer room 20 may be a temporary room, such as a tent room, a board room, etc., or a permanent room.

[0067] Only one computing device 10 may be arranged in the computer room 20, or multiple computing devices 10 may be arranged. When multiple computing devices 10 are arranged in the computer room 20, each computing device 10 may be identical, partially identical, or completely different. The computing device 10 may be a desktop server, a blade server, a rack server, a high-density server, a whole cabinet server, or other types.

[0068] Figure 2A schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0069] See also Figure 2 As shown, the computing device 10 includes a computing device housing 100 and a plurality of hard disk modules 200 , a processor 300 , a memory 400 , a motherboard 500 , etc. located in the computing device housing 100 .

[0070] Specifically, the computing device housing 100 is used to accommodate a hard disk module 200, a processor 300, a memory 400, a motherboard 500, etc. Figure 2 In the figure, the upper cover of the computing device housing 100 is omitted so as to clearly show the internal structure of the computing device 10.

[0071] The mainboard 500 is located in the computing device housing 100. The mainboard 500 is provided with a processor 300 and a memory 400. Other electronic components are also provided on the mainboard 500. The processor 300 is the core working part for the computing device 10 to perform operations. The processor 300 works in conjunction with the memory 400 on the mainboard 500 and other electronic components on the mainboard 500.

[0072] Please continue to see Figure 2 As shown, the computing device 10 further includes a backplane 600, and a plurality of hard disk modules 200 are disposed on the backplane 600, and the backplane 600 can be electrically connected to the mainboard 500 through cables. The hard disk module 200 has a first connector, and the backplane 600 is provided with a plurality of second connectors, and the first connectors are plugged in one-to-one with the second connectors, so that the hard disk module 200 is installed on the backplane 600 and electrically connected to the backplane 600, so that the hard disk module 200 is electrically connected to the mainboard 500.

[0073] The hard disk module includes a hard disk mounting bracket and a hard disk body located in the hard disk mounting bracket. The hard disk can be installed in the hard disk mounting bracket through fasteners and structural parts. The fasteners and structural parts will occupy the space in the hard disk mounting bracket, making the volume occupied by the hard disk module larger. As the requirements for the storage capacity of computing devices increase, the number of hard disk modules in computing devices is also increasing, and the volume occupied by a single hard disk module is large, so the number of hard disk modules that can be accommodated in the computing device is small, which makes it difficult to meet the storage capacity requirements of the computing device.

[0074] In addition, when disassembling a hard disk, a disassembly tool is required to remove the fasteners, so the hard disk mounting bracket needs to have a working space for the disassembly tool, which further increases the volume occupied by the hard disk module, making the number of hard disk modules accommodated in the computing device small, and it is difficult to meet the storage capacity requirements of the computing device. In addition, using an installation tool to remove the hard disk from the hard disk mounting bracket makes the hard disk disassembly efficiency low.

[0075] Based on this, the embodiments of the present application provide a hard disk module and a computing device, wherein the hard disk module is small in size and has a high efficiency in assembly and disassembly of the hard disk module.

[0079] The third side wall 2153 and the fourth side wall 2154 are provided with a mounting groove 212 and a first limiting groove 213 on one side facing the accommodating cavity 211. The mounting groove 212 extends along the third direction Z, and includes a mounting port 2121 and a communication port 2122 that are opposite to each other along the third direction Z. The mounting port 2121 is located above the communication port 2122 along the third direction Z, and the communication port 2122 is communicated with the first limiting groove 213.

[0084] Please continue to see Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first limiting groove 213 has a first limiting surface 2131 and a second limiting surface 2132, both of which are perpendicular to the third direction Z, and the first limiting surface 2131 and the second limiting surface 2132 can prevent the hard disk body 220 from escaping from the accommodating cavity 211 along the third direction Z; the first limiting groove 213 also has a third limiting surface 2133, and the third limiting surface 2133 is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the third limiting surface 2133 can prevent the hard disk body 220 from escaping from the first direction X; the third side wall 2153 and the fourth side wall 2154 can limit the hard disk body 220 along the second direction Y to prevent the hard disk body 220 from escaping from the accommodating cavity 211 along the second direction Y, thereby connecting the hard disk body 220 to the shell 210.

[0085] The mounting groove 212 and the first limiting groove 213 are grooves recessed from the third side wall 2153 and the fourth side wall 2154, and the first limiting block 221 is a protrusion protruding from both sides of the hard disk body 220. The cooperation between the first limiting block 221 and the mounting groove 212 and the cooperation between the first limiting block 221 and the first limiting groove 213 do not need to occupy additional space in the outer shell 210, so that the overall volume of the hard disk module 200 is smaller.

[0086] When installing the hard disk body 220 on the housing 210, no installation tool is required, making the installation process of the hard disk body 220 and the housing 210 relatively simple and efficient. In addition, no operating space for the installation tool is required in the accommodating cavity 211, which can further reduce the volume of the hard disk module 200.

When the hard disk body 220 is installed on the shell 210, no installation tool is required, so that the installation process of the hard disk body 220 and the shell 210 is relatively simple and the installation efficiency is high.

[0090] When installing the hard disk body 220 into the outer shell 210, align the first limit blocks 221 with the installation slots 212 respectively, and each first limit block 221 enters the first limit slot 213 through the installation slot 212. By setting a plurality of first limit slots 213 and a plurality of first limit blocks 221, the hard disk body 220 can be reliably connected to the outer shell 210.

[0091] Figure 7 Schematic diagram of the explosion of the hard disk module provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 3 .

[0092] See also Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting groove 213 is a long groove extending along the first direction X, and the first limiting block 221 can move along the first direction X in the first limiting groove 213; please continue to refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the hard disk body 220 includes a first end 220a and a second end 220b that are opposite to each other along a first direction X; the hard disk module 200 also includes a first limiting component 230 and a second limiting component 240, the first limiting component 230 and the second limiting component 240 are both connected to the outer shell 210 and can be moved relative to the outer shell 210 along the first direction X, the first limiting component 230 is used to abut against the first end 220a, and the second limiting component 240 is used to abut against the second end 220b.

[0093] The first limiting groove 213 is configured as a long groove extending along the first direction X. The first limiting block 221 can move along the first direction X in the first limiting groove 213 . Thus, the position of the first limiting block 221 on the hard disk body 220 is not restricted by the first limiting groove 213 .

[0094] After the position of the hard disk body 220 relative to the outer shell 210 along the first direction X is determined, the first limiting assembly 230 and the second limiting assembly 240 are respectively moved relative to the outer shell 210 to abut against the first end 220a and the second end 220b of the hard disk body 220, respectively. In this way, the hard disk body 220 can be reliably fixed on the outer shell 210.

[0095] Next, the structures of the first limiting assembly 230 and the second limiting assembly 240 are described respectively.

[0096] First, the specific structure of the first limiting component 230 is described.

[0097] Please continue to see Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting assembly 230 includes a limiting plate 231 and an elastic member 232 . The limiting plate 231 abuts against the first end 220 a of the hard disk body 220 . One end of the elastic member 232 is connected to the limiting plate 231 , and the other end of the elastic member 232 is connected to the housing 210 .

[0098] Specifically, the first limiting assembly 230 can be located in the accommodating cavity 211, and the limiting plate 231 is a plate-shaped member extending along the second direction Y. The size of the limiting plate 231 along the first direction X is relatively small, so that the setting of the limiting plate 231 has a relatively small impact on the volume of the housing 210. In addition, by setting the limiting plate 231, it is possible to avoid the elastic member 232 from directly contacting the end surface of the hard disk body 220, and to prevent the elastic member 232 from damaging the appearance of the hard disk body 220.

[0099] The elastic member 232 may be a spring or an elastic sleeve, one end of the elastic member 232 in the elastic direction is connected to the limit plate 231, and the other end of the elastic member in the elastic direction is connected to the first side wall 2151 of the housing. When the elastic member 232 is in a compressed state, the limit plate 231 can be brought into contact with the first end 220a of the hard disk body 220 by the elastic force of the elastic member 232.

[0100] Please continue to see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a second limiting groove 216 is provided on the inner wall of the outer shell 210, and the second limiting groove 216 and the first limiting groove 213 are located at opposite ends of the mounting groove 212, and the second limiting groove 216 is connected with the first limiting groove 213 and the mounting groove 212; a second limiting block 2311 is provided on the limiting plate 231, and the second limiting block 2311 enters the second limiting groove 216 through the mounting groove 212 to install the limiting plate 231 on the outer shell 210.

[0101] Specifically, the communication port 2122 is also communicated with the second limiting groove 216 , so that the second limiting groove 216 , the first limiting groove 213 and the mounting groove 212 form an “inverted T-shaped” communication structure.

[0102] Second limiting blocks 2311 are disposed on both sides of the limiting plate 231 along the second direction Y. The second limiting blocks 2311 are protrusions protruding from both sides of the hard disk body 220 .

[0103] When installing the limit plate 231 into the housing 210, align the second limit block 2311 with the mounting opening 2121 of the mounting groove 212, and the second limit block 2311 enters the mounting groove 212 through the mounting opening 2121, and slides from the mounting opening 2121 to the connecting opening 2122 along the third direction Z in the mounting groove 212; the second limit block 2311 enters the second limit groove 216 through the connecting opening 2122.

[0104] By connecting the mounting slot 212 with the second limiting slot 216 , the limiting plate 231 can be installed in the housing 210 via the mounting slot 212 , and the hard disk body 220 can also be installed in the housing 210 via the mounting slot 212 , so that the structure of the housing 210 is simple.

[0105] When the elastic member 232 is in a naturally extended state, the second limit block 2311 on the limit plate 231 connected to the elastic member 232 slides into the first limit groove 213; when installing the hard disk body 220, the operator applies a force on the limit plate 231, so that the limit plate 231 moves toward the first side wall 2151 until the second limit block 2311 enters the second limit groove 216; then the first limit block 221 on the hard disk body 220 enters the first limit groove 213 via the installation groove 212; the operator releases the limit plate 231, and the limit plate 231 abuts against the first end 220a of the hard disk body 220 under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 232. By connecting the first limiting groove 213 with the second limiting groove 216, the limiting plate 231 can be easily moved in the first limiting groove 213 and the second limiting groove 216 so that the limiting plate 231 abuts against the second end of the hard disk body 220, and hard disk bodies 220 of different sizes can be installed in the accommodating cavity 211.

[0106] There may be a plurality of elastic members 232 , and the plurality of elastic members 232 are arranged at intervals along the second direction Y. By providing a plurality of elastic members 232 , a greater resilience can be provided, so that the limiting plate 231 can reliably abut against the first end 220 a of the hard disk body 220 .

[0107] The specific structure of the second position-limiting assembly 240 is described below. The structure of the second position-limiting assembly 240 may be the same as that of the first position-limiting assembly 230 , or the structure of the second position-limiting assembly 240 may be different from that of the first position-limiting assembly 230 .

[0108] In the embodiment of the present application, the hard disk body 220 has a first connector 223, and the first connector 223 is located at the side of the second end 220b. When the hard disk module 200 is plugged into the back plate 600, the second end 220b faces the back plate 600, so that the first connector 223 is plugged into the second connector on the back plate 600. In order to prevent the second limiting component 240 from interfering with the first connector 223 and the second connector, the second limiting component 240 has a different structure from the first limiting component 230.

[0109] Please continue to see Figure 7 As shown, the second limiting assembly 240 includes a limiting column 241, which is inserted into the housing 210 on one side of the second end 220b. The limiting column 241 can move along the first direction X relative to the housing 210, and is used to abut against the second end 220b.

[0110] The housing 210 has a first opening 217 at one side of the second end 220 b , and the first connector 223 extends out of the first opening 217 for plugging with a second connector in the computing device 10 .

[0111] The fourth side wall 2154 of the housing 210 may be provided with a first threaded hole 2154a, and the limiting column 241 may be a stud. The limiting column 241 is screwed into the first threaded hole 2154a, and the end of the limiting column 241 abuts against the second end 220b of the hard disk body 220. A plurality of first threaded holes 2154a may be provided, and the positions of the first threaded holes 2154a need to avoid the first opening 217. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, there are four first threaded holes 2154a, two first threaded holes 2154a are respectively provided on both sides of the first opening 217 along the second direction Y, and the number of the limiting columns 241 corresponds to the number of the first threaded holes 2154a.

[0112] After the hard disk body 220 is installed in the housing 210, the screwing depth of the limiting post 241 in the first threaded hole 2154a is adjusted according to the size of the hard disk body 220, so that the end of the limiting post 241 abuts against the second end 220b of the hard disk body 220. By making the limiting post 241 abut against the second end 220b of the hard disk body 220, it is also possible to avoid that the pressure on one side of the second end 220b is concentrated at the connection between the first connector 223 and the second connector, and the pressure at the connection between the first connector 223 and the second connector can be reduced.

[0113] In some embodiments, the gap between the second end 220b and the back panel 600 in the computing device 10 is relatively large. To prevent foreign objects from falling on the connection between the first connector 223 and the second connector, a protective plate 218 may be provided on the housing 210 .

[0115] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the housing 210 also includes a protective plate 218, which is located on one side of the second end 220b. The protective plate 218 has a second opening 2181, which is opposite to the first opening 217. The first connector 223 extends out of the first opening 217 and the second opening 2181 for plugging with the second connector in the computing device 10.

[0116] The dimension of the protection plate 218 along the first direction X can be set according to a specific gap value between the second end 220 b and the back plate 600 in the computing device 10 .

[0117] The protection plate 218 can be installed on the fourth side wall 2154. The protection plate 218 has a second threaded hole 2182, which is arranged one-to-one with the first threaded hole 2154a, and the limiting column 241 is screwed into the second threaded hole 2182 and the threaded hole 2154a to install the protection plate 218 on the fourth side wall 2154 of the housing 210.

[0118] Please continue to see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some possible implementations, the protective plate 218 is rotatably connected to the housing 210 .

[0119] Specifically, a rotating shaft 250 is provided at the connection between the protective plate 218 and the bottom wall 214, and a lug 2183 is provided on the protective plate 218. Both the lug 2183 and the bottom wall 214 have through holes, and the rotating shaft 250 is inserted into the through holes to rotatably connect the protective plate 218 to the housing 210. In an environment where the protective plate 218 is not needed, the rotating shaft 250 can be pulled out to remove the protective plate 218 from the bottom wall 214.
