A sleeve rod 15 is inserted into the interior of block 14, and a first spring 16 is sleeved on the outer surface of the sleeve rod 15, and a pressure block 17 is connected to one end of the sleeve rod 15, and the other end of the sleeve rod 15 is connected to the first plug block 18. A stopper 2 19 is fixedly connected to the interior of the mounting cavity 2 13, and a sleeve rod 20 is inserted into the interior of the stopper 2 19. The outer surface of the sleeve rod 20 is sleeved on the second spring 21, and one end of the sleeve rod 20 is fixedly connected to the plug plate 22, and the other end of the sleeve rod 20 is connected to the second plug block 23. A slot 1 24 is provided on one side of the rectangular through hole 4, and a slot 25 is provided on the other side of the rectangular through hole 4. A pick 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the plug plate 22.
[0030] Specifically, the card slot 11 is adapted to the inserting plate 22 , one end of the second spring 21 abuts against the inserting plate 22 , and the other end of the second spring 21 abuts against the second stopper 19 .
[0031] Specifically, a sliding groove 27 is provided on the outer surface of the side panel 5, and a slider is fixedly connected to the back of the paddle 26, and the slider is connected to the plug board 22 through the sliding groove 27. The advantage is that when the side bar 10 is closed inside the straight groove 7, the clamping groove 11 is clamped by the plug board 22, which can fix the side bar 10. At the same time, the clamping groove 11 also has a resistance force on the plug board 22, so that the plug board 22 drives the sleeve rod 20 to move toward the second plug block 23, that is, the sleeve rod 20 drives the second plug block 23 to be inserted into the second slot 25. Under normal conditions, the second spring 21 maintains a resistance force on the plug board 22, so that the plug board 22 can be kept in place. On the contrary, when the paddle 26 is toggled to move toward the second plug-in block 23, it can continue to drive the sleeve rod 20, and the sleeve rod 20 drives the second plug-in block 23. It is worth noting that the width of the second slot 25 is set to be greater than the width of the second plug-in block 23, so that the second plug-in block 23 can be further inserted into the second slot 25. At the same time, the sleeve rod 20 drives the inserting plate 22 to withdraw from the slot 11, so that the side bar 10 is no longer limited.
[0032] Specifically, the first insert block 18 is adapted to fit within the first slot 24, one end of the first spring 16 abuts against the pressure block 17, and the other end of the first spring 16 abuts against the first stop block 14. Advantageously, when the side bar 10 is closed within the straight slot 7, the side bar 10 drives the pin 8 to rotate, which in turn drives the cam 9 to rotate. After the cam 9 rotates a certain angle, it presses the pressure block 17, causing the pressure block 17 to move the sleeve rod 15, which then drives the first insert block 18 to be inserted into the first slot 24. Thus, when the second insert block 23 is inserted into the second slot 25, the side panel 5 is secured within the rectangular through hole 4.
[0033] Specifically, the upper surface of the hard disk bracket plate 6 is hollowed out, and a plurality of screw holes are provided on the upper surface of the hard disk bracket plate 6, and a plurality of rectangular through holes 4 are provided on the outer surface of the front bezel 3 at equal intervals. The advantage is that by installing a hard disk on the hard disk bracket plate 6, the different screw hole positions can satisfy the installation requirements of two sizes of hard disks. When the hard disk needs to be repaired, the paddle 26 is directly moved to withdraw the plug plate 22 from the card slot 11. After the side bar 10 is no longer restricted, the side bar 10 is rotated to drive the pin 8 to rotate. The pin 8 then drives the cam 9 to rotate and no longer presses the pressure block 17. Under the action of the first spring 16, the number one plug block 18 can be driven to withdraw from the slot 1 24. In this way, the side plate 5 can be quickly pulled out from the rectangular through hole 4 and then the hard disk bracket plate 6, so that the hard disk can be replaced without stopping the machine.
[0034] Specifically, a fan mounting plate 28 is fixedly connected to the interior of the housing 1. A circular hole is formed through the outer surface of the fan mounting plate 28, and a T-shaped insert 29 is fixedly connected to the back of the fan mounting plate 28. Advantageously, the cooling fan can be fixed by inserting the cooling fan housing between the two T-shaped inserts 29, while the circular hole in the fan mounting plate 28 facilitates ventilation.
[0035] During use, when the hard disk needs to be replaced or repaired, the operator toggles the paddle 26, which moves in the slide groove 27 through the slider, driving the plug plate 22 to move in the direction of the second plug block 23, the second spring 21 is compressed, and the plug plate 22 is disengaged from the slot 11, and no longer limits the side bar 10; at this time, the operator can freely rotate the side bar 10, and the side bar 10 drives the pin 8 to rotate, and the cam 9 on the pin 8 also rotates accordingly, and no longer presses the pressure block 17. Under the action of the first spring 16, the pressure block 17 pushes the sleeve rod 15, drives the No. 1 plug-in block 18 to withdraw from the slot 1 24, so that the side panel 5 is no longer fixed and can be easily pulled out from the rectangular through hole 4; after pulling out the side panel 5, the operator can take out the hard disk bracket plate 6 to replace or repair the hard disk; after the replacement is completed, the operator reinstalls the hard disk bracket plate 6 and the side panel 5 to their original positions, and the plug-in plate 22 is automatically inserted into the card slot 11 under the action of the second spring 21, fixing the side bar 10 and completing the locking. The whole process does not require shutdown, the operation is simple and fast, and the maintenance efficiency of the server is improved.
[0036] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
