They 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 orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "provided with," "mounted / connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can mean 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 an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] The structural features of the present invention are now described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] See also Figures 1-6 A tool-free quick disassembly and assembly expansion structure includes an expansion port 13 and an expansion baffle 2. The expansion port 13 is set on the partition 12 inside the server shell 1. A maintenance window 11 is provided on the server shell 1 and on one side of the expansion port 13. The maintenance window 11 facilitates maintenance personnel to quickly expand the expansion port 13, and can also quickly repair or replace the components expanded at the position of the expansion port 13. The setting of the maintenance window 11 can improve the rapid maintenance needs of equipment maintenance personnel.

[0024] The expansion port 13 is provided with an expansion baffle 2 that can be quickly disassembled and assembled. The expansion baffle 2 is fixedly connected in a side-plugging manner. Specifically: a slot 21 is provided at one end of the expansion baffle 2, a through hole 22 is provided on the expansion baffle 2, and a fixing groove 23 is provided on one side of the through hole 22. In order to quickly fix the expansion baffle 2 on the expansion port 13, positioning columns 3 that are adapted to the slot 21 and the fixing groove 23 are fixed at both ends of the expansion port 13. The positioning column 3 is dumbbell-shaped, wherein the aperture of the through hole 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the end of the positioning column 3, and the thin diameter of the middle section of the positioning column 3 is the same as the groove diameter of the slot 21 and the fixing groove 23. When in use, first insert the positioning column 3 at one end into the through hole 22, and then plug the fixing slot 23 into the corresponding positioning column 3. At this time, the slot 21 will be synchronously plugged into the corresponding positioning column 3, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the expansion baffle 2. Pushing the expansion baffle 2 in the opposite direction can realize the rapid disassembly of the expansion baffle 2. In order to facilitate the lateral pushing of the expansion baffle 2, an outwardly protruding handle 24 is provided at the end of the expansion baffle 2 away from the slot 21.

[0025] In order to prevent the expansion baffle 2 from easily detaching in daily life, an outwardly protruding limit plate 25 is provided at the lower part of one end of the expansion baffle 2 located in the slot 21, and a limit protrusion 4 is provided at a position corresponding to the limit plate 25 inside the server shell 1. After the expansion baffle 2 is plugged into the expansion port 13, the limit plate 25 is squeezed by the limit protrusion 4, so that the expansion baffle 2 can fit tightly on the expansion port 13, making it not easy to fall off. In order to make the expansion baffle 2 more stable, an inwardly recessed limit groove 26 can be provided at the position of the limit plate 25 corresponding to the limit protrusion 4. After the expansion baffle 2 is completely covered on the expansion port 13, the limit protrusion 4 is just stuck in the limit groove 26, so that the expansion baffle 2 will not slide left or right easily.

[0026] The tool-free quick disassembly and assembly expansion structure of the present invention can meet the reliability of matching the expansion port 13 and the expansion baffle 2 in an extremely small structural space, while making the expansion operation convenient and efficient, and can effectively reduce the need for disassembly and assembly steps. In addition, combined with the setting of the maintenance window 11, it can improve the rapid maintenance needs of equipment maintenance personnel.

[0027] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art will be able to modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein with equivalents. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
