Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of electronic equipment, and in particular to a locking structure and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of server technology, the performance requirements for various types of servers are also increasing. As a storage server, a large number of pluggable hard disks need to be placed inside it, and the signal transmission between the hard disk and the motherboard often needs to pass through the hard disk backplane first. Usually, the hard disk backplane and the motherboard generally use cables to realize the signal and current transmission between the two.

[0003] Among them, since the hard disk backplane and the motherboard are connected by a cable, there is a risk of unplugging the entire hard disk module externally without unplugging the cable, thereby causing destructive damage to the hard disk backplane and the motherboard. Therefore, a structure is needed to prevent the hard disk module from being accidentally unplugged to reduce damage to the hard disk backplane and the motherboard caused by accidental unplugging.

Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0035] The present application embodiment provides an electronic device, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the electronic device includes a first electronic device 2 and a second electronic device. Among them, the electronic device can be of various types, for example, a server, a desktop computer, etc. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the present application, the type of the electronic device is not limited. In order to vividly illustrate the electronic device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the electronic device can be taken as an example of a server.

[0036] In order to meet the large-capacity storage requirements of the server, a hard disk module, i.e., a hard disk expansion module, is usually connected to the server. As a hard disk storage device, it is connected to the motherboard through the hard disk backplane. The hard disk module often includes a support frame, a hard disk backplane and several hard disks. One side of the hard disk backplane may have several sockets for plugging in the connectors on the hard disk. The other side of the hard disk backplane is provided with a signal connector and a power connector corresponding to the sockets. The hard disk backplane can be installed at one end of the support frame, and the hard disks are placed side by side in the support frame. At the same time, the connectors on the hard disk are correspondingly plugged into the sockets on the hard disk backplane. Among them, the hard disk backplane serves as an interface for transferring signals and fixing hard disks, avoiding multi-line connections between the hard disk and the motherboard, making the internal wiring of the chassis simpler and simplifying the disassembly and maintenance of the hard disk. For example, after unplugging the connection between the hard disk backplane and the motherboard, the hard disk module can be unplugged from the motherboard, and then the hard disk can be disassembled and installed.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the first electronic device 2 may refer to a hard disk module, the second electronic device may refer to a mainboard, and the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device are connected via a cable. In the related art, when the hard disk module needs to be unplugged, the cable between the hard disk module and the mainboard may be unplugged first, and then the hard disk module may be unplugged relative to the mainboard under the action of an external force. However, it is inevitable that the operator may sometimes unplug the hard disk module by mistake, such as forgetting to unplug the cable between the hard disk module and the mainboard first, or accidentally dragging the hard disk module in the unplugging direction, which may cause destructive damage to the hard disk backplane and the mainboard. If a design for locking a hard disk module to prevent mis-plugging is provided, so that the hard disk module cannot be unplugged without unplugging the cable and releasing the locking setting, the damage to the hard disk backplane and the mainboard caused by mis-plugging will be reduced.

[0038] For this purpose, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The embodiment of the present application provides a locking structure 1, which includes a fixed portion 11 and a movable portion 12. The fixed portion 11 is used to be arranged on the movable path of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device; the movable portion 12 is movably connected to the fixed portion 11, the movable portion 12 is in a first position relative to the fixed portion 11, and the first electronic device 2 can move relative to the second electronic device; the movable portion 12 is in a second position relative to the fixed portion 11, and the movable portion 12 is used to abut the first electronic device 2 to fix the position of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the movable path of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device may refer to the plug-in and unplug path of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device, and the fixing portion 11 may be fixed on the housing 21 of the first electronic device; or it may be fixed on the second electronic device, for example, the fixing portion 11 has a snap-in protrusion, and the second electronic device has a snap-in slot that is plug-in compatible with the snap-in protrusion, and the fixing portion 11 is snapped into the snap-in slot on the second electronic device through the snap-in protrusion thereon, or an auxiliary structure is connected to the movable path of the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device, for example, the auxiliary structure is a protrusion connected to the second electronic device, or a connector on the side wall of the chassis 3 of the electronic device, and the fixing portion 11 can be connected to the auxiliary structure. In addition, the specific structure of the fixing portion 11 is not limited, and the fixing portion 11 may be a cylindrical structure, or a sheet structure, etc.; the material of the fixing portion 11 may be a metal material or a hard plastic material.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 1 to Figure 6The second electronic device is not shown in the figure, only the shell 21 of the first electronic device is schematically shown. The first electronic device 2 may include a shell, a hard disk and a hard disk backplane, etc. The hard disk and the hard disk backplane can be fixed relative to the shell, that is, when the movable part 12 abuts against the first electronic device 2, the hard disk and the hard disk backplane in the shell 21 of the first electronic device are fixed relative to the second electronic device.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific form of the movable connection between the movable part 12 and the fixed part 11 is not limited, and the movable part 12 and the fixed part 11 may be connected in a rotating manner or in a sliding manner, so that the movable part 12 is in a first position or a second position relative to the fixed part 11. For example, the fixed part 11 has a hinge hole, and the movable part 12 has a hinge shaft that is rotatably adapted to the hinge hole. The movable part 12 can be hinged to the hinge hole on the fixed part 11 through the hinge shaft thereon, so as to realize the rotational connection between the fixed part 11 and the movable part 12. At the same time, a limiting structure can be provided on the hinge hole and the hinge shaft, and the limiting structure can include a limiting shaft and a limiting pin. The limiting shaft can be connected to the hinge shaft, and the rotation angle of the movable part 12 relative to the fixed part 11 can be pre-designed. When the movable part 12 rotates to the second position relative to the fixed part 11, the limiting shaft on the hinge shaft will abut against the limiting pin, and the limiting pin will prevent the hinge shaft from continuing to rotate, thereby keeping the movable part 12 at the second position relative to the fixed part 11. At this time, the movable part 12 can abut against the first electronic device 2 to fix the position of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device. Alternatively, a guide groove is provided on the fixed part 11, and the movable part 12 has a sliding part that is slidably adapted to the guide groove, so that the movable part 12 can be movably connected with the fixed part 11. The extension length of the guide groove can be preset, so that when the movable part 12 moves to the second position, the sliding part on the movable part 12 just moves to abut against one of the side walls in the extension length direction of the guide groove, so that the movable part 12 can be in the second position relative to the fixed part 11.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present application, the movable portion 12 may be provided with a hook, and the first electronic device 2 may be provided with a snap-fitting groove on one side close to the hook. When the movable portion 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed portion 11, the hook on the movable portion 12 just moves to snap-fit ​​with a side groove wall of the snap-fitting groove on the first electronic device 2, so that the position of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device is fixed, and the first electronic device 2 can be prevented from moving relative to the second electronic device in the removal direction; or the first electronic device 2 may be provided with a snap-fitting hole, and when the movable portion 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed portion 11, part of the body of the movable portion 12 directly extends into the snap-fitting hole and abuts against the hole wall of the snap-fitting hole, so that the position of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device is fixed.

[0043] The above design, by adding a locking structure 1 on the movable path of the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device, can make the movable part 12 in the second position relative to the fixed part 11 in advance. Since the movable part 12 is in contact with the first electronic device 2 at this time, the position of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device is fixed, which can prevent the first electronic device 2 from moving relative to the second electronic device in the unplugging direction. In this way, in the case that the operator forgets to unplug the cable between the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device first, even if the operator applies force to unplug the first electronic device 2, the first electronic device 2 will not move relative to the second electronic device, that is, at this time there will be no relative movement between the hard disk backplane and the motherboard, which can greatly reduce the damage to the hard disk backplane and the motherboard caused by accidental unplugging. Correspondingly, if the operator wants to continue to unplug the first electronic device 2 from the second electronic device, he can first unplug the cable between the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device, and at the same time move the movable part 12 relative to the fixed part 11, so that the movable part 12 switches from the second position to the first position, so that the movable part 12 and the first electronic device 2 are disengaged from each other. At this time, the first electronic device 2 can be moved relative to the second electronic device, and the first electronic device 2 can be unplugged from the second electronic device.

[0044] Reference Figure 8 and Fig.11 The fixed part 11 is a cylindrical structure with a receiving groove 113 formed inside, the movable part 12 has a rotating shaft 122 that is rotatably matched with the receiving groove 113, and the first clamping part 121 is connected to the rotating shaft 122, and the axial direction of the rotating shaft 122 is parallel to the first direction. Here, at least part of the rotating shaft 122 can be located in the receiving groove 113, so that the internal space of the fixed part 11 itself can be fully utilized, so that the movable connection between the movable part 12 and the fixed part 11 is simple and easy, and the internal space of the electronic device occupied by the entire locking structure 1 is also small.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference Fig.11 , Fig.12 and Fig.13The fixed portion 11 has a first rotation groove 111 and a second rotation groove 112 at different heights and staggered, and a connecting area D is formed between the first rotation groove 111 and the second rotation groove 112 in the first direction; the movable portion 12 has a first clamping portion 121 exposed from the fixed portion 11, and the first clamping portion 121 is used to abut against the first electronic device 2; the first clamping portion 121 can move along the extension direction of the first rotation groove 111 or the second rotation groove 112, and can move along the first direction in the connecting area D, so as to switch the first clamping portion 121 between the first position and the second position. Here, the setting of the connecting area D can be used to enable the first clamping portion 121 on the movable portion 12 to switch between the first rotation groove 111 and the second rotation groove 112 at different heights. For example, when the first clamping portion 121 is in the first rotation groove 111, the first clamping portion 121 can move from the first rotation groove 111 to the second rotation groove 112 at the connecting area D. Similarly, when the first clamping portion 121 is in the second rotation groove 112, the first clamping portion 121 can move from the second rotation groove 112 to the first rotation groove 111 at the connecting area D.

[0046] Continue, refer to Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 , the two opposite side walls of the first rotating groove 111 along its own extending direction are respectively the first side wall 1111 and the second side wall 1112, and the second side wall 1112 is the side wall of the two side walls facing the second direction; in the second position, the first clamping portion 121 abuts against the second side wall 1112, and the first clamping portion 121 abuts against the first electronic device 2 to prevent the first electronic device 2 from moving along the second direction relative to the second electronic device; wherein the second position is the position where the first clamping portion 121 abuts against the second side wall 1112, and the second direction is the direction in which the first electronic device 2 is pulled out relative to the second electronic device. Here, the direction in which the first electronic device 2 is pulled out relative to the second electronic device and the direction in which the first electronic device 2 is plugged in relative to the second electronic device are two opposite directions, and the second direction can be understood as being opposite to the direction in which the first electronic device 2 is pulled out relative to the second electronic device. Figure 1 to Figure 3 The second direction is the opposite direction of the plug-in direction shown in , that is, the second direction is the same as the unplugging direction of the first electronic device 2 relative to the second electronic device. Figure 1 to Figure 3 In the embodiment, the first electronic device 2 can be plugged into the second electronic device along the plugging direction. Figures 4 to 6 , the first electronic device 2 can be pulled out of the second electronic device along the second direction (i.e., along the pulling-out direction). Among them, the first rotating groove 111 is located above the second rotating groove 112. The connecting area D can also be understood as the area between the plane where the second side wall 1112 of the first rotating groove 111 is located and the plane where one of the two side walls opposite to the second side wall 1112 along the extension direction of the second rotating groove 112 is located. For the connecting area D, reference can be made to Figure 11 to Figure 13 Understanding of the spatial area shown in .

[0047] Reference Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.12 The locking structure 1 also includes an elastic component 13, both ends of which are respectively connected to the movable part 12 and the fixed part 11; when the first clamping part 121 moves relative to the fixed part 11 in the first rotation groove 111 or the second rotation groove 112, the elastic component 13 provides a rotational restoring force between the first clamping part 121 and the fixed part 11; when the first clamping part 121 moves relative to the fixed part 11 along the first direction, the elastic component 13 provides a restoring force along the first direction between the first clamping part 121 and the fixed part 11. Among them, the elastic component 13 can be a torsion spring, a coil spring, etc. For example, the elastic component 13 can be a torsion spring sleeved on the rotating shaft 122, one end of the torsion spring close to the accommodating groove 113 abuts on the bottom wall of the accommodating groove 113, and the other end of the torsion spring abuts on the end of the movable part 12 away from the accommodating groove 113. The torsion spring can provide a restoring force for the first clamping part 121 to rotate relative to the fixed part 11; in addition, when the torsion spring is subjected to a compressive force in the first direction, that is, in the direction parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 122, it can also provide a restoring force in the first direction between the first clamping part 121 and the fixed part 11, so that the first clamping part 121 can move in the first direction at the connecting area D, and then the first clamping part 121 can switch between the first rotating groove 111 and the second rotating groove 112, that is, the elastic component 13 can provide both a torque along the extension direction of the first rotating groove 111 or the second rotating groove 112, and a restoring force along the first direction.

[0048] For example, refer to Figures 4 to 6 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 When the movable part 12 is pressed, the first clamping part 121 is disengaged from the abutment with the second side wall 1112, and at the same time, the first clamping part 121 is switched to the second rotation groove 112 through the connecting area D, so as to enable the first electronic device 2 to move relative to the second electronic device; when the movable part 12 is released, that is, when the movable part 12 is switched from the pressing force state to the pressing force on the movable part 12 is removed, the first clamping part 121 moves along the first direction through the connecting area D to the first rotation groove 111, so that the first clamping part 121 can move to abut against the second side wall 1112.

[0049] For example, refer to Figure 8 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10The end of the first clamping portion 121 extending from the fixing portion 11 has a guide portion 1211, which is an arc-shaped structure and is used to guide the first clamping portion 121 to abut or disengage from the first electronic device 2. Here, the setting of the guide portion 1211 can improve the smoothness of the first clamping portion 121 and the first electronic device 2 during the abutment or disengagement action.

[0050] In some embodiments, reference Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The locking structure 1 further includes a cover plate 14, which is disposed on the open end surface of the fixed portion 11 and is fixed in relative position to the fixed portion 11; the cover plate 14 has a through hole 141, and one end of the movable portion 12 away from the rotating shaft 122 passes through the through hole 141 and then extends out of the cover plate 14. Here, the cover plate 14 can be fixedly arranged on the open end surface, such as the cover plate 14 can be bonded or clamped on the open end surface. The arrangement of the cover plate 14 can, on the one hand, be used to reduce the possibility of jamming between the movable portion 12 and the fixed portion 11 caused by debris entering the receiving groove 113; on the other hand, it can be used to limit the movable portion 12 from being separated from the fixed portion 11 along the first direction. In addition, the movable portion 12 has an operating portion 123 that can extend out of the fixed portion 11, and here, the operating portion 123 can be located at one end of the rotating shaft 122 extending out of the receiving groove 113, and the operating portion 123 can pass through the through hole 141 on the cover plate 14 and then extend out of the cover plate 14. There is no limitation on the specific structure of the operating portion 123 . For example, it may be a plate-shaped structure with a circular or elliptical cross-section. The configuration of the operating portion 123 can facilitate the operator to apply force to the movable portion 12 .

[0051] For example, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 6 The first electronic device 2 has a second clamping portion 211 that is clamped and adapted to the first clamping portion 121. The second clamping portion 211 can be a clamping groove. When the first electronic device 2 is plugged into the second electronic device along the plugging direction, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first electronic device 2 first contacts the first clamping portion 121. During the continuous movement of the first electronic device 2 along the plugging direction, the first electronic device 2 can push the first clamping portion 121 to move away from the second side wall 1112 of the first rotating groove 111 in the first rotating groove 111, corresponding to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first clamping portion 121 moves in the direction of the solid arrow. The elastic component 13 starts to provide a rotational restoring force for the first clamping portion 121 from the first side wall 1111 to the second side wall 1112, so that the first clamping portion 121 drives the first clamping portion 121 to move toward the second side wall 1112 under the rotational restoring force of the elastic component 13, corresponding to Figure 3When the first electronic device 2 and the second electronic device are plugged in, refer to Figure 3 and Fig.12 , the first clamping portion 121 moves just to abut against the second side wall 1112 under the rotational restoring force of the elastic component 13, that is, the movable portion 12 is in the second position relative to the fixed portion 11, and at the same time, the first clamping portion 121 is clamped with the second clamping portion 211, that is, the first clamping portion 121 abuts against the first electronic device 2 to prevent the first electronic device 2 from moving along the second direction relative to the second electronic device. At this time, the first electronic device 2 cannot move along the pull-off direction relative to the second electronic device.
