[0032] The technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, one embodiment of the utility model provides a tray fixing device for a server disk, comprising: a rectangular frame 1, a support assembly, a plurality of first fixing members 4 and a plurality of second fixing members 5, wherein the rectangular frame 1 has a receiving cavity for receiving a 3.5-inch disk;

[0034] The rectangular frame 1 has two first side plates 101 and two second side plates 102, and the two first side plates 101 and the two second side plates 102 form a receiving cavity;

[0035] The supporting assembly is detachably arranged in the rectangular frame 1, and the accommodating cavity is divided into two chambers, and the two chambers are respectively used to accommodate 2.5-inch disks;

[0036] The two first side plates 101 are parallel to each other, the two second side plates 102 are parallel to each other, and the first side plates 101 and the second side plates 102 are perpendicular to each other;

[0037] The first fixing member 4 cooperates with the first side plate 101 to fix the 3.5-inch disk in the accommodation cavity;

[0038] The second fixing member 5 cooperates with the second side plate 102 to fix the 2.5-inch disk in the accommodating cavity.

[0039] Specifically, the 3.5-inch disk is fixed in the accommodating cavity by the cooperation of the first fixing member 4 and the first side plate 101, and the 2.5-inch disk is fixed in the accommodating cavity by the cooperation of the second fixing member 5 and the second side plate 102. The supporting assembly can support and limit the side of the 2.5-inch disk away from the second side plate 102, and two disks of different specifications can be well fixed. It is compatible with disks of two specific specifications and sizes and has high practicality.

[0040] Of course, since the height of a 3.5-inch disk is greater than the sum of the heights of two 2.5-inch disks, the two 2.5-inch disks can be placed separately in the two chambers into which the accommodating cavity is divided by the supporting assembly, and each 2.5-inch disk is in contact with the inner wall of one of the second side plates 102, and the side of each 2.5-inch disk away from the second side plate 102 is supported and limited by the supporting assembly. The second fixing member 5 cooperates with the second side plate 102 to fix the two 2.5-inch disks in the two chambers of the accommodating cavity, respectively. When the capacity of the 2.5-inch disk is insufficient, another 2.5-inch disk can be installed or replaced with a 3.5-inch disk, thereby expanding the storage capacity. The tray fixing device can be applied not only to 3.5-inch disks, but also to one or two 2.5-inch disks, and therefore has high practicality.

[0041] The first fixing member 4 and the second fixing member 5 can respectively fix the disks of two sizes, which is simple to operate and convenient to disassemble and fix. The support component supports and limits one side of the 2.5-inch disk, thereby improving the fixing effect of the 2.5-inch disk and preventing damage caused by the disk falling off or shaking due to the loosening of the second fixing member 5.

[0042] According to one embodiment of the utility model, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of first positioning holes 2 are provided on the first side panel 101, and the first positioning holes 2 correspond to the first fixing members 4 one by one. The first fixing member 4 includes a first screw, and the first screw passes through the first positioning hole 2 and is screwed to the 3.5-inch disk. The first fixing member 4 also includes a first gasket, and the first screw passes through the first gasket and the first positioning hole 2 in sequence and is screwed to the 3.5-inch disk, thereby fixing the 3.5-inch disk into the accommodating cavity. The provision of the first gasket can protect the first positioning hole 2.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, a plurality of second positioning holes 3 are provided on the second side plate 102, and the second positioning holes 3 correspond to the second fixing members 5 one by one. The second fixing members 5 include second screws, which penetrate through the second positioning holes 3 and are screwed to the 2.5-inch disk. The second fixing members 5 also include second gaskets, which penetrate through the second gaskets and the second positioning holes 3 in sequence and are screwed to the 2.5-inch disk, thereby fixing the 2.5-inch disk into the accommodating cavity. The second gaskets can protect the second positioning holes 3.

[0044] Usually, the mounting holes on the disk correspond to the positioning holes on the tray fixture, but since the positions of the mounting holes on 2.5-inch disks and 3.5-inch disks are different, the positions of the positioning holes on the tray fixture for loading 2.5-size disks and the positioning holes on the tray fixture for loading 3.5-size disks are different.

[0045] Therefore, in this embodiment, the positions and spacings of the multiple first positioning holes 2 are consistent with the positions and spacings of the multiple mounting holes on the 3.5-inch disk, and the positions and spacings of the multiple second positioning holes 3 are consistent with the positions and spacings of the multiple mounting holes on the 2.5-inch disk. The 3.5-inch disk is fixed in place by passing through the first positioning holes 2 and screwing them to the mounting holes on both sides of the 3.5 disk. When the 2.5-inch disk needs to be fixed in place, the support assembly is installed, and the accommodating cavity is divided into two chambers of the same size by the support assembly, each chamber just fits the size of the 2.5-inch disk, and then the 2.5-inch disk is fixed in place by passing through the second positioning holes 3 with a second screw, and the fixing effect is better.

[0046] At least one concave hole 7 is formed on the first side plate 101. The concave hole 7 includes a first hole body, a second hole body and a third hole body which are connected in sequence. The first hole body and the second hole body are perpendicular to each other, and the first hole body and the third hole body are parallel to each other.

[0047] The concave holes 7 and the first positioning holes 2 correspond to each other one by one, and the first positioning holes 2 are arranged between the first hole body and the third hole body of the corresponding concave hole 7 .

[0048] A concave hole 7 is provided on the first side plate 101, and the first positioning hole 2 is provided between the first hole body and the third hole body, so that when the first fixing member 4 passes through the first side plate 101 around the first positioning hole 2, the first side plate 101 in the concave hole 7 is driven to press the 3.5-inch disk inward, thereby achieving a better retention effect. This prevents the first side plate 101 from being deformed as a whole and causing damage to the disk when the disk is taken out.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present utility model, a baffle 9 is installed at one end of the rectangular frame 1 .

[0050] A baffle 9 is installed at one end of the rectangular frame 1, and the first side plate 101 and the second side plate 102 are perpendicular to the baffle 9. Since the size of the fixing device is larger than that of the original tray fixing device for fixing 2.5-inch disks, it is necessary to utilize the longitudinal space in the server, that is, compared with the original tray fixing device, the rectangular frame 1 in the utility model is placed vertically (such as Figure 4 As shown), the baffle 9 is located at the bottom, and the baffle 9 can support the 2.5-inch disk or the 3.5-inch disk.

[0051] According to one embodiment of the utility model, the support assembly includes a rectangular block 12 arranged in the accommodating cavity, a first through hole 10 and a second through hole 11 are opened on the baffle 9, a limiting column 13 is slidably connected in the first through hole 10, an adjusting bolt 14 is threaded in the second through hole 11, one end of the adjusting bolt 14 is rotatably connected to the rectangular block 12, and the limiting column 13 is fixedly connected to the rectangular block 12.

[0052] By setting two adjusting bolts 14 and a rectangular block 12, the adjusting bolt 14 is turned to drive the rectangular block 12 to move forward. It should be noted that the distances between the rectangular block 12 and the two second side plates 102 are the same, and the rectangular block 12 divides the accommodating cavity into two chambers adapted to the size of 2.5-inch disks. The sides of the two 2.5-inch disks away from the second side plate 102 can both contact with the rectangular block 12, thereby further achieving a supporting and limiting effect on the 2.5-inch disks.

[0053] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the direction from one second side plate 102 to another second side plate 102 is recorded as the height direction of the disk and the rectangular frame 1, the direction from one first side plate 101 to another first side plate 101 is recorded as the length direction of the disk and the rectangular frame 1, and the length direction of the adjusting bolt 14 is the same as the width direction of the disk and the rectangular frame 1.

[0054] When the width of the rectangular frame 1 is greater than the width of the 3.5-inch disk, the 3.5-inch disk is fixed, and the adjusting bolt 14 is turned to drive the rectangular block 12 to move to the outside of the accommodating cavity, and move to a certain distance, and put the 3.5-inch disk in. The second screw passes through the second positioning hole 3 and is screwed to the 3.5-inch disk to fix it. At this time, one side of the rectangular block 12 abuts against the 3.5 disk. When placed vertically, it plays a supporting role for the 3.5-inch disk. The limiting column 13 and the adjusting bolt 14 cooperate to limit the rectangular block 12 so that it moves along the length direction of the adjusting bolt 14.

[0055] When the width of the rectangular frame 1 is equal to the width of the 3.5-inch disk, it should be further explained that the rectangular block 12 and the adjusting bolt 14 are connected through a bearing, and the limiting column 13 and the adjusting bolt 14 are screwed together. Therefore, when the 3.5-inch disk needs to be fixed, the adjusting bolt 14 and the limiting column 13 can be directly removed from the rectangular block 12, and the rectangular block 12 can be taken out to achieve the detachable effect of the supporting assembly. At this time, the baffle 9 can contact the side of the 3.5-inch disk.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the two first side plates 101 are fixedly connected to one side away from each other with a hanging ear 8 .

[0057] Furthermore, by setting a hanging ear 8 on the side away from each other of the two first side panels 101, the hanging ear 8 is fixedly connected to the built-in plate in the server. The built-in plate and the first side panel 101 are perpendicular to each other. A receiving groove for the rectangular frame 1 to pass through is opened on the built-in plate. The two hanging ears 8 are screwed to the built-in plate by bolts, thereby fixing the disk to the server.

[0058] The purpose of the mounting ear 8 is to better and more effectively fix the hub on the built-in board in the server to prevent the hub from shaking during transportation and damaging the disk.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of ventilation holes 6 are formed on the second side plate 102 .

[0060] By providing a plurality of ventilation holes 6, heat dissipation of the disk is facilitated so that the disk can be kept within a suitable operating temperature range.

[0061] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "lower" and the like indicate positions or positional relationships based on the positions or positional relationships shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific position, be constructed and operated in a specific position, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0062] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection between the insides of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
