In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this utility model based on specific circumstances.
[0020] See Figures 1 to 7 The network storage device chassis that is easy to maintain and clean according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a shell 1, a shelf 2 and a panel 3. The top of the shell 1 is provided with first slides 11 of equal length to the first slides 11, and the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a threaded channel 12 of equal length to the first slides 12. The panel 3 is used to cover the shell 1. The panel 3 is provided with a fixing hole 31, and the fixing hole 31 is provided with a clip 4. The clip 4 is located at the fixing hole 31 and has two ends raised. One end of the clip 4 is provided with a friction pattern 41, and the other end of the clip 4 is provided with a thread 42. The shelf 2 is fixedly connected to the panel 3. The top of the shelf 2 is provided with a second slide 21 matching the first slide 11, and the shelf 2 is provided with a multi-layer interlayer 24.
[0021] The chassis consists of a housing 1, a storage rack 2, and a panel 3. The top of the housing 1 is equipped with first slideways 11 on both sides, extending the same length as the housing 1, while the bottom features a threaded channel 12 of equal length. Panel 3, which closes the housing 1, has a fixing hole 31, into which a clamp 4 is placed. The clamp 4 is raised at both ends above the fixing hole 31, extending beyond the hole to create a stop. One end features friction grooves 41 for increased grip stability, while the other end is threaded 42.
[0022] The rack 2 is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and its top is equipped with a second slide 21 adapted to the first slide 11. The second slide 21 is arranged in a groove-shaped engagement manner to ensure that the rack 2 can slide smoothly along the first slide 11. The rack 2 is provided with a multi-layer interlayer 24 inside for storing electronic components.
[0023] During installation, rack 2 slides along the guide rails into housing 1 until fixing holes 31 on panel 3 align with threaded channels 12 in housing 1. At this point, clamp 4 is rotated, threading its threaded end 42 into channel 12. Simultaneously, the raised portion of clamp 4 presses against panel 3, securing panel 3 to housing 1 and thus firmly placing rack 2 within housing 1. To disassemble, the operation is reversed: clamp 4 is rotated so that threaded end 42 exits channel 12, releasing panel 3 from housing 1. Then, clamp 4 is pulled, using the raised portion to press against panel 3, to smoothly remove rack 2 from housing 1, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the electronic components within interlayer 24.
[0024] See Figures 1 to 7 In another embodiment, a heat dissipation hole 13 is further provided on the top of the housing 1 .
[0025] In the above embodiment, the design of the heat dissipation holes 13 is intended to optimize internal temperature management of the chassis, effectively dissipating the heat generated by the operation of the electronic components by providing air circulation paths. These heat dissipation holes 13 are evenly distributed, ensuring that air flows evenly through the chassis, improving heat dissipation efficiency. In conjunction with natural convection within the chassis or the fan 5-assisted cooling system, the heat dissipation holes 13 can effectively maintain the internal operating temperature of the chassis within a suitable range, ensuring stable operation and extending the service life of the electronic components.
[0026] See Figures 1 to 7 In another embodiment, the panel 3 is further provided with a fan 5 , and the area of the panel 3 where the fan 5 is provided is a mesh structure, and the fan 5 faces the interlayer 24 .
[0027] In the above embodiment, the fan 5 is installed in the mesh-structured area of the panel 3, which is designed to allow free air circulation. Furthermore, the fan 5 is positioned directly opposite the interlayer 24 of the rack 2, ensuring that the airflow generated by the fan 5 directly affects the electronic components within the interlayer 24, achieving efficient heat dissipation. When the fan 5 is operating, the air it blows not only effectively reduces the temperature within the interlayer 24 but is also discharged outward through the heat dissipation holes 13 at the top of the chassis. This process forms an airflow barrier, effectively preventing external dust from entering the chassis through the heat dissipation holes 13, providing excellent dust protection.
[0028] See Figures 1 to 7In another embodiment, an L-shaped connecting plate 6 is further included, one end face of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is connected to the panel 3 by a thread 42, and the other end face of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is provided with at least one positioning column 61, and the bottom of the storage rack 2 is provided with a positioning hole 22 matching the positioning column 61, and the positioning column 61 is passed through and fixed in the positioning hole 22.
[0029] In the above embodiment, one end of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is provided with a threaded hole 42, which secures the connection to a corresponding threaded hole 42 on the panel 3, ensuring a secure and non-loose connection. The other end of the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is provided with at least one precision-machined positioning post 61, the size and shape of which matches the positioning hole 22 reserved at the bottom of the shelf 2.
[0030] During chassis assembly, the L-shaped connecting plate 6 is first secured to the panel 3 at the predetermined position using threads 42. Subsequently, the positioning holes 22 on the bottom of the rack 2 are aligned with the positioning posts 61 on the L-shaped connecting plate 6. By inserting the positioning posts 61 into the positioning holes 22, a secure mechanical connection is formed, significantly strengthening the connection between the panel 3 and the rack 2. This design enhances the overall structural stability of the chassis and prevents the clip 4 from falling off the panel 3 when subsequently pulling it out of the rack 2.
[0031] See Figures 1 to 7 In another embodiment, a convection layer 23 is further provided between the interlayer 24 of the storage rack 2 and the top plate thereof, and both sides of the convection layer 23 are directly connected.
[0032] In the above embodiment, a pair of convection layers 23 are added between the interlayer 24 and the top plate of the rack 2. The convection layers 23 are designed to promote natural convection of air inside the chassis and enhance heat dissipation.
[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Although the present invention has been disclosed as a preferred embodiment as above, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any technician familiar with this profession can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments of the technical content disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the content of the technical solution of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
