Server solid state disk splicing auxiliary tool

Abstract

The utility model provides a server solid state disk splicing auxiliary tool, which belongs to the technical field of solid state disks, and comprises an alignment auxiliary part which is provided with a first space for placing a hard disk and an adapter bracket. During splicing, the auxiliary alignment piece abuts against the edges of the hard disk and the adapter bracket at the same time, so that the hard disk and the adapter bracket are aligned. A supporting plate is further installed in the first space and used for supporting the hard disk. As the thickness of the hard disk is smaller than that of the adapter bracket, the upper surface of the hard disk and the upper surface of the adapter bracket can be coplanar by the support plate. In this way, the adapter bracket can be aligned with the mounting hole in the hard disk at a time, and the splicing efficiency and the splicing accuracy are improved.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the technical field of solid-state hard disks, and in particular to an auxiliary tooling for splicing server solid-state hard disks. Background Art

[0002] When installing existing server hard drives, in some cases it is necessary to install a 2.5-inch hard drive into a 3.5-inch hard drive slot.

[0003] Because a 2.5-inch hard drive is smaller and thicker than a 3.5-inch hard drive bay, you need to first install an adapter bracket on the 2.5-inch hard drive and then install the adapter bracket into the 3.5-inch hard drive bay.

[0004] However, when splicing the adapter bracket and the 2.5-inch hard drive, you need to manually align the mounting holes before completing the installation. This assembly method makes it difficult to align the mounting holes on the adapter bracket and the hard drive in one go, so repeated alignment is required, which reduces splicing efficiency and is prone to inaccurate splicing.

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are intended only to illustrate the relevant invention and are not intended to limit the invention. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only portions relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0042] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and 4 The present invention provides a server solid state hard disk splicing auxiliary tooling for assisting in splicing a hard disk 1 and a switching bracket 2, comprising:

[0044] An alignment aid 3 having a first space thereon; the first space is used to place the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2; the alignment aid 3 is used to abut against the edges of the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2 simultaneously to align the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2;

[0045] The support plate 4 is mounted on the alignment auxiliary component 3 and is located in the first space, and is used to support the hard disk 1 so that the upper surface of the hard disk 1 is coplanar with the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2.

[0046] Specifically, during splicing, the auxiliary alignment member 3 abuts against the edges of the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2 to align the two. A support plate 4 is also installed in the first space to support the hard disk.

[0047] Since the thickness of the hard disk 1 is smaller than that of the adapter bracket 2, the support plate 4 can make the upper surface of the hard disk 1 coplanar with the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2. This method can align the mounting holes on the adapter bracket 2 and the hard disk 1 at one time, improving the splicing efficiency and accuracy.

[0048] Furthermore, the alignment aid 3 includes:

[0049] The first supporting portion 5 and the second supporting portion 6 are perpendicular to each other, and the first space is formed between the first supporting portion 5 and the second supporting portion 6 .

[0050] Specifically, the first supporting portion 5 and the second supporting portion 6 are respectively used to abut against the edges of the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2 simultaneously along two directions of the horizontal plane to achieve alignment in two directions.

[0051] Furthermore, there are multiple second support parts 6, which are arranged in sequence along the extension direction of the first support part 5;

[0052] A plurality of support plates 4 are provided, and are respectively installed in a plurality of first spaces between a plurality of second support portions 6 and the first support portions 5 .

[0053] Specifically, in order to further improve the splicing efficiency, the first support portion 5 is designed to be longer, and is therefore connected to multiple second support portions 6. A first space is defined between the first support portion 5 and the multiple support portions 6; support plates 4 are installed in the multiple first spaces.

[0054] In this case, multiple hard disks 1 and adapter brackets 2 can be spliced ​​at the same time, which significantly improves efficiency.

[0055] Furthermore, the distance between the edges of the second supporting portions 6 on one side is equal to the width of the adapter bracket 2. In this way, the adapter bracket 2 can be directly inserted between the second supporting portions 6 to complete the alignment, which is easy to operate.

[0056] Further, refer to Figure 2-3 The alignment auxiliary member 3 has a first groove 9 on one side close to the first space; the first groove 9 has a plurality of connecting columns 10 arranged parallel to the first direction;

[0057] A plurality of through holes 11 are provided on the support plate 4; a plurality of connecting columns 10 respectively pass through the plurality of through holes 11, so that the support plate 4 can be slidably mounted on the connecting columns 10 along a first direction; the first direction is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first support portion 5 and the second support portion 6.

[0058] Furthermore, the server solid state drive splicing auxiliary tooling provided by the present invention also includes:

[0059] a first elastic member 7, which is sleeved on the connecting post 10, with one end abutting against the support plate 4 and the other end abutting against the inner side wall of the first groove 9, and is used to drive the support plate 4 and the hard disk 1 to move closer to the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2;

[0060] The limiting protrusion 8 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the alignment auxiliary component 3, and its projection along the first direction partially coincides with the first space; the limiting protrusion 8 is used to abut against the upper surface of the hard disk 1 so that the upper surface of the hard disk 1 is coplanar with the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2.

[0061] Specifically, this embodiment is used to install a 2.5-inch hard drive into a slot suitable for a 3.5-inch hard drive. The thickness of the adapter bracket 2 is the same as the width of the slot suitable for a 3.5-inch hard drive. However, the thickness of a 2.5-inch hard drive is significantly smaller, so when spliced ​​together, the bottom of the 2.5-inch hard drive is suspended in the air.

[0062] In this embodiment, a support plate 4 is installed on the alignment auxiliary member 3 to support the hard disk 1 .

[0063] Specifically, hard disks of different sizes have different thicknesses. When hard disks of different sizes and thicknesses are spliced ​​together, the fixed support plate 4 is not sufficient to ensure that hard disks of various thicknesses are coplanar with the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2 .

[0064] Therefore, in this embodiment, the support plate 4 is slidably mounted on the alignment auxiliary member 3 , and the support plate 4 is supported by the first elastic member 7 (spring); at the same time, a limiting protrusion 8 is fixed on the upper surface of the alignment auxiliary member 3 .

[0065] The process of placing the hard disk 1 on the support plate 4 includes:

[0066] refer to Figure 7 , first place a portion of the hard disk 1 on the support plate 4 and make the hard disk 1 abut against the second support portion 6;

[0067] refer to Figure 8 , and then drives the hard disk 1 to slide relative to the support plate 4 toward the first support portion 5;

[0068] refer to Figure 9 , so that the edge of the hard disk 1 abuts against the first supporting portion 5 and the upper surface abuts against the limiting protrusion 8;

[0069] refer to Figure 10 Finally, install the screw 15 into the mounting hole between the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2.

[0070] In the process of the hard disk 1 being clamped between the support plate 4 and the limiting protrusion 8, the hard disk 1 is acted upon by the limiting protrusion 8, driving the support plate 4 to slide downward along the connecting column 10, compressing the first elastic member 7; after the splicing is completed and the hard disk 1 is removed, the first elastic member 7 drives the support plate 4 to reset.

[0071] When hard disks 1 with different thicknesses are spliced ​​together, the first elastic member 7 generates different amounts of compression, and the limiting protrusion 8 is used to ensure that the upper surface of the hard disk 1 is always coplanar with the upper surface of the adapter bracket 2 .

[0072] Furthermore, the limiting protrusion 8 has a guide surface 16 at the end portion that overlaps with the first space portion along the first direction; the guide surface 16 is used to abut against the hard disk 1 to play a guiding role, making it convenient for the hard disk 1 to be inserted between the limiting protrusion 8 and the support plate 4.

[0073] Further, refer to Figure 5-6 , the installation method between the support plate 4 and the alignment auxiliary member 3 is:

[0074] A first groove 9 is formed on a side of the alignment auxiliary member 3 close to the first space; a plurality of connecting posts 10 are arranged in parallel with the first direction in the first groove 9;

[0075] The support plate 4 is provided with a plurality of through holes 11 ; the plurality of connecting posts 10 pass through the plurality of through holes 11 respectively; and the first elastic member 7 is sleeved on the connecting posts 10 .

[0076] The plurality of connecting posts 10 are not collinearly arranged, so that the support plate 4 can be kept horizontal and avoid tilting, which would cause positional offset between the mounting holes on the hard disk 1 and the adapter bracket 2 .

[0077] Furthermore, a limiting mechanism 12 is installed at one end of the first supporting portion 5 away from the second supporting portion 6 ; the limiting mechanism 12 is used to abut against a surface of the adapter bracket 2 away from the hard disk 1 .

[0078] Specifically, a limiting mechanism 12 for limiting the adapter bracket 2 is additionally provided between the second support portion 6 near the edge of the first support portion 5 and the end of the first support portion 5, which can ensure that the adapter bracket 2 will not deviate along the direction in which the first support portion 5 extends.

[0079] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism 12 includes:

[0080] A limit block 13, one end of which is rotatably mounted on an end of the first support portion 5 away from the second support portion 6;

[0081] A torsion spring 14 is installed on the limit block 13; when the limit block 13 is subjected to an external force, the limit block 13 moves away from the second support portion 6 and squeezes the torsion spring 14; when the limit block 13 is not subjected to an external force, the torsion spring 14 drives the limit block 13 to abut against the adapter bracket 2.

[0082] Specifically, the torsion spring 14 is a torsion spring, which is used to drive the limiting block 13 to rotate close to the support plate 4, and then abut against the adapter bracket 2 to complete the limiting function.

[0083] Since the limiting block 13 can rotate relative to the first supporting portion 5 , the limiting mechanism 12 can achieve a limiting effect when the adapter brackets 2 of different sizes are spliced.

[0084] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and an illustration of the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art should understand that the scope of the invention is not limited to the technical solutions formed by the specific combination of the above-mentioned technical features, but also encompasses other technical solutions formed by any combination of the above-mentioned technical features or their equivalents without departing from the inventive concept. For example, a technical solution formed by replacing the above-mentioned features with (but not limited to) technical features with similar functions disclosed in the present invention.
