Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of data server technology, and more specifically, it relates to a data server with data disk locking. Background Technology
[0002] A server is a type of computer that runs faster, handles higher loads, and is more expensive than a regular computer. Servers provide computing or application services to other client machines on a network, such as PCs, smartphones, ATMs, and even large devices like train systems. Servers possess high-speed CPU processing power, long-term reliable operation, powerful I / O external data throughput capabilities, and better scalability. During server operation, data disks are used to store the server's data.
[0003] Chinese patent CN219609554U discloses a network storage server with easily removable hard drives, belonging to the field of storage server technology. The network storage server includes a chassis and a cover. The chassis contains several compartments, each housing a carrier box. Each carrier box has a storage slot for installing hard drives. A support arm is located inside the cover, with one end connected to the inner cavity of the carrier box via a pivot. A left limiting hook, exposed on the outer surface of the carrier box, is located on the support arm at the pivot. The container includes a right limiting hook, a limiting post located within the receiving compartment and between the left and right limiting hooks, a push-lock body within the receiving compartment, a locking tongue adapted to the push-lock body on the inner side of the cover, and a compression spring between the receiving compartment and the carrier box. When the cover is rotated open, the left limiting hook rotates and abuts against the limiting post, pushing the carrier box out of the receiving compartment. Simultaneously, the right limiting hook engages with and limits the limiting post. When the cover is closed, the right limiting hook engages with the limiting post and pulls the carrier box back into the receiving compartment. Simultaneously, the push-lock body locks the locking tongue.
[0004] Existing storage servers require specialized tools to remove hard drives during installation and removal, and the hard drive mounting racks lack handles, making the process inconvenient, inefficient, and impractical for users. In the aforementioned document, a compression spring pushes out the carrier box, allowing the hard drive to be removed. However, the hard drive lacks cushioning during ejection, making it prone to falling directly to the ground and causing damage.
[0005] No effective solutions have yet been proposed to address the problems in the relevant technologies. Utility Model Content
[0006] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a data server with data disk locking to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.
[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] This utility model relates to a data server with a data disk locking mechanism, comprising a housing, an internal tray, a limiting component, and a pop-out component. The limiting component is inserted into the tray, a buffer component is provided on the top of the tray, and an adjusting component is provided inside the tray. The adjusting component is threadedly connected to the buffer component. The adjusting component is used to adjust the buffering force of the buffer component, the limiting component is used to fix the tray, the pop-out component is used to push the tray to move, and the buffer component is used to slow down the pop-out speed of the tray.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a first spring, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the housing, and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a push rod. The push rod is slidably connected to the housing, and the bottom of the push rod is fixedly connected to an insert rod, which is inserted into the tray.
[0010] Furthermore, the pop-out assembly includes a fixed cylinder, which is fixedly connected inside the housing. A sliding rod and a limiting plate are slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder. The sliding rod is fixedly connected to the limiting plate. A second spring is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting plate. The second spring is fixedly connected inside the fixed cylinder. A sliding plate is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the buffer assembly includes a movable cylinder, with a buffer pad fixedly connected to the end of the movable cylinder, and a buffer groove is provided inside the housing, with the buffer pad slidably connected inside the buffer groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the adjusting assembly includes a rotating wheel, a rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating wheel, a first gear is fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft, a second gear meshes with the outer surface of the first gear, a screw is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second gear, and the screw is threadedly connected to the movable cylinder.
[0013] Furthermore, a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable cylinder, and a column is fixedly connected to the top of the tray. A square groove is formed on the outer surface of the column, and the limiting rod is slidably connected inside the square groove.
[0014] Furthermore, the outer surface of the tray is provided with a slot.
[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. This utility model connects the buffer component and the adjustment component. Rotating the adjustment component causes the buffer component to move upward, so that the upper end of the buffer component abuts against the inside of the housing. When the pop-out component pushes the tray and the buffer component to move, friction is generated between the buffer component and the housing, which can slow down the movement speed of the tray and prevent the pop-out component from pushing the tray to move too fast, causing it to fall to the ground.
[0017] 2. This utility model connects the movable cylinder and the screw. When the drive wheel rotates the screw, the screw drives the movable cylinder to move upward. The movable cylinder pushes the buffer pad against the buffer groove. When the tray is ejected, it drives the movable cylinder to move. The buffer pad on the movable cylinder slides in the buffer groove to generate friction, which can consume part of the kinetic energy of the tray. At the same time, the buffer groove can limit the movement distance of the movable cylinder and the tray, preventing the tray from falling directly to the ground.
[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the utility model embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "upper", "lower", "top", "middle", "inner", etc., which indicate orientation or positional relationship, are only for the convenience of describing the utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the utility model.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, this utility model is a data server with a data disk locking function, including a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, there is a tray 2, a limiting component 3, and a pop-out component 4. The limiting component 3 is inserted into the tray 2. A buffer component 5 is provided on the top of the tray 2. An adjusting component 6 is provided inside the tray 2. The adjusting component 6 is threadedly connected to the buffer component 5. The adjusting component 6 is used to adjust the buffering force of the buffer component 5. The limiting component 3 is used to fix the tray 2. The pop-out component 4 is used to push the tray 2 to move. The buffer component 5 is used to slow down the pop-out speed of the tray 2.
[0031] Pull the limiting component 3 upward to separate it from the tray 2. At this time, the pop-out component 4 can push the tray 2 and the data disk to move. During the movement, the buffer component 5 on the tray 2 rubs against the housing 1, thereby slowing down the movement speed of the tray 2 and preventing the tray 2 from falling directly to the ground. Then rotate the adjusting component 6 on the tray 2. The adjusting component 6 drives the buffer component 5 downward to remove the tray 2 and the data disk from the housing 1.
[0032] This utility model connects the buffer component 5 and the adjustment component 6. Rotating the adjustment component 6 causes the buffer component 5 to move upward, so that the upper end of the buffer component 5 abuts against the inside of the housing 1. When the pop-out component 4 pushes the tray 2 and the buffer component 5 to move, friction is generated between the buffer component 5 and the housing 1, which can slow down the movement speed of the tray 2 and prevent the tray 2 from falling to the ground due to the pop-out component 4 pushing it too fast.
[0033] In one embodiment, the limiting component 3 includes a first spring 301, the upper end of which is fixedly connected to the housing 1, and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to a push rod 302. The push rod 302 is slidably connected to the housing 1, and the bottom of the push rod 302 is fixedly connected to an insertion rod 303, which is inserted into the tray 2.
[0034] Pushing the push rod 302 causes the insertion rod 303 to move upward. At the same time, the push rod 302 compresses the first spring 301, causing the insertion rod 303 to separate from the tray 2 and releasing the limiting fixation on the tray 2. At this time, the pop-out component 4 can push the tray 2 to move. After removing the tray 2, the push rod 302 is released, and the first spring 301 can push the push rod 302 to reset.
[0035] In one embodiment, the pop-out assembly 4 includes a fixed cylinder 401, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 1. A sliding rod 402 and a limiting plate 403 are slidably connected inside the fixed cylinder 401. The sliding rod 402 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 403. A second spring 404 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the limiting plate 403. The second spring 404 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 401. A sliding plate 405 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 402.
[0036] When the tray 2 is inside the housing 1 and inserted into the insertion rod 303, the tray 2 pushes the sliding rod 402 to compress the second spring 404. After the limiting and fixing of the tray 2 is released, the second spring 404 pushes the limiting plate 403 and the sliding rod 402 to move. The sliding rod 402 pushes the tray 2 through the sliding plate 405, so that the tray 2 slides inside the housing 1. The limiting plate 403 can only slide inside the fixed cylinder 401, thereby limiting the movement distance of the limiting plate 403 and the sliding rod 402 and preventing the sliding rod 402 from coming out of the fixed cylinder 401.
[0037] In one embodiment, the buffer assembly 5 includes a movable cylinder 501, with a buffer pad 502 fixedly connected to the end of the movable cylinder 501. A buffer groove 503 is provided inside the housing 1, and the buffer pad 502 is slidably connected inside the buffer groove 503.
[0038] The movable cylinder 501 presses the buffer pad 502 against the buffer groove 503. When the tray 2 moves the movable cylinder 501, friction is generated between the buffer pad 502 on the movable cylinder 501 and the buffer groove 503, thereby consuming part of the kinetic energy of the tray 2, reducing the speed of the tray 2, and preventing the tray 2 from falling directly to the ground due to excessive pop-out speed.
[0039] In one embodiment, the adjustment component 6 includes a rotating wheel 601, a rotating shaft 602 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the rotating wheel 601, a first gear 603 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating shaft 602, a second gear 604 meshing with the outer surface of the first gear 603, and a screw 605 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second gear 604, the screw 605 being threadedly connected to the movable cylinder 501.
[0040] Rotating wheel 601 drives the first gear 603 to rotate via rotating shaft 602. The first gear 603 drives the second gear 604 and screw 605 to rotate. Screw 605 drives movable cylinder 501 to move downward, causing the buffer pad 502 on movable cylinder 501 to move out of buffer groove 503. The buffer pad 502 and buffer groove 503 no longer limit the tray 2. At this time, pulling the tray 2 can remove it from the housing 1.
[0041] In one embodiment, for the aforementioned movable cylinder 501, a limiting rod 7 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the movable cylinder 501, and a column 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the tray 2. A square groove 9 is provided on the outer surface of the column 8, and the limiting rod 7 is slidably connected inside the square groove 9.
[0042] The limiting rod 7, in conjunction with the square groove 9, can restrict the movable cylinder 501, preventing it from rotating with the screw 605. When the movable cylinder 501 cannot rotate, the screw 605 can drive the movable cylinder 501 to move the limiting rod 7 up and down along the square groove 9.
[0043] In one embodiment, the outer surface of the tray 2 is provided with a slot 10.
[0044] A wire harness connector is inserted at slot 10. After tray 2 and data disk are installed in place, the data disk is connected to the wire harness connector at slot 10.
[0045] Through the above technical solutions: 1. By connecting the buffer component 5 and the adjusting component 6, rotating the adjusting component 6 causes the buffer component 5 to move upward, so that the upper end of the buffer component 5 abuts against the inside of the housing 1. When the ejector component 4 pushes the tray 2 and the buffer component 5 to move, friction is generated between the buffer component 5 and the housing 1, which can slow down the movement speed of the tray 2 and prevent the tray 2 from falling to the ground due to excessive movement speed caused by the ejector component 4. 2. By connecting the movable cylinder 501 and the screw 605, when the drive wheel 601 drives the screw 605 to rotate, the screw 605 drives the movable cylinder 501 to move upward. The movable cylinder 501 pushes the buffer pad 502 against the buffer groove 503. When the tray 2 is ejected, it drives the movable cylinder 501 to move. The buffer pad 502 on the movable cylinder 501 slides in the buffer groove 503 and generates friction, which can consume part of the kinetic energy of the tray 2. At the same time, the buffer groove 503 can limit the movement distance of the movable cylinder 501 and the tray 2, preventing the tray 2 from falling directly to the ground.
