The side of the second segment away from the installation area is connected to the bracket head.

[0008] Furthermore, the first, second, and third segments are designed as a single unit.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket head has a first through hole, the elastic part has a second through hole, and the bracket frame has a third through hole. The first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole are sequentially connected and communicate with the installation area.

[0010] Furthermore, the size of the first through hole is larger than the size of the second and third through holes.

[0011] Furthermore, the second through hole and / or the third through hole are hexagonal holes; or, the second through hole and / or the third through hole are square holes.

[0012] Furthermore, the second and third through holes are identical in shape and size, and are axially aligned.

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0036] To address the issue of low structural strength in hard drive trays in related technologies, this application provides a hard drive tray and an electronic device.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 The hard drive bracket shown includes a bracket head 10, a bracket frame 20, an elastic part 30, and a reinforcing part 40. The bracket head 10 is a plastic part; the bracket frame 20 is a sheet metal part and is connected to the bracket head 10. The bracket frame 20 has an installation area 21 for mounting a hard drive; at least a portion of the elastic part 30 is disposed between the bracket head 10 and the bracket frame 20, and the elastic part 30 is used to contact and cooperate with components inside the chassis; the reinforcing part 40 is connected to the bracket head 10 and is located on the side of the bracket head 10. The reinforcing part 40 is a die-cast part or a plastic part.

[0038] This embodiment of the hard drive bracket achieves a balance between lightweight construction and high strength by combining a plastic bracket head 10 and a sheet metal bracket frame 20. The plastic material of the bracket head 10 not only reduces the overall weight but also lowers production costs. Since the bracket frame 20 is a sheet metal component, it ensures the stability of the side walls and the overall load-bearing capacity of the bracket, effectively preventing deformation during hard drive installation. The elastic portion 30, located between the bracket head 10 and the bracket frame 20, can make close contact with internal chassis components, providing conductivity and shock absorption. The addition of the reinforcing portion 40 further enhances the structural strength of the bracket head 10, increasing the overall structural strength of the hard drive bracket. Furthermore, the bracket head 10, the elastic portion 30, and the bracket frame 20 are arranged in a three-layer structure with no other structures in between, which helps reduce wind resistance and improve ventilation and heat dissipation. The above configuration enhances structural strength while ensuring the overall lightweight design of the hard drive tray, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the hard drives mounted on the tray. It also facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation for the hard drives, achieving a harmonious balance between strength, ventilation, and lightweight design. This improves the internal heat dissipation performance of the server, ensuring the stability of hard drive operation and the high efficiency of the server.

[0039] Optionally, the material of the reinforcing part 40 can be customized as needed. It can be made of die-cast metal, resulting in higher structural strength and better reinforcement of the hard drive tray. Alternatively, the reinforcing part 40 can be made of plastic, which is lighter and cheaper, contributing to a lightweight design.

[0040] In this embodiment, there are multiple reinforcing parts 40, and reinforcing parts 40 are provided on both opposite sides of the tray head 10. This embodiment provides two reinforcing parts 40, respectively located on both sides of the tray head 10. This not only improves the overall rigidity of the hard drive tray but also ensures a balanced distribution of external loads, enhancing its durability and stability in a server environment. By arranging multiple reinforcing parts 40 on both sides, even if vibration occurs during high-speed data transmission, the tray can maintain good mechanical properties, preventing read / write errors caused by hard drive vibration.

[0041] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bracket head 10 of this embodiment has a first side along its length, and the reinforcing part 40 is located at the first side and extends along the length of the first side. The first side is the side of the bracket head 10 along its length. Figure 1 The direction of the reinforcement 40 refers to the two horizontally extending sides, meaning that in this embodiment, the reinforcement 40 is located on the longer side of the tray head 10 and extends along this side for a certain length. This makes the reinforcement 40 longer, resulting in a better structural fit between it and the tray head 10. This allows it to distribute more of the force on the tray head 10, effectively increasing the structural stability of the tray head 10. Especially when subjected to external impacts or load pressure, it significantly reduces the deformation of the tray head 10, ensuring the mechanical strength and service life of the entire hard drive tray. Simultaneously, because the reinforcement 40 is located on the side, its placement does not affect the opening of the first through hole 11 in the middle of the tray head 10. The first through hole 11 still has a large opening area, thus achieving a balance between structural strength and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bracket frame 20 of this embodiment includes a first segment 22, a second segment 23, and a third segment 24 connected in sequence by bending. The first segment 22 and the third segment 24 are located on the same side of the second segment 23, thus forming a U-shaped structure. These three segments together form the installation area 21, enabling the hard drive to be installed and secured. The side of the second segment 23 furthest from the installation area 21, that is, the outer side of the second segment 23 relative to the installation area 21, connects to the bracket head 10, placing the bracket head 10 at the front end of the entire hard drive bracket, facilitating easy operation of the hard drive bracket. This configuration achieves stable installation and convenient removal of the hard drive. The connection between the bracket head 10 and the second segment 23 ensures accurate positioning of the hard drive bracket inside the server.

[0043] Preferably, the first segment 22, the second segment 23, and the third segment 24 in this embodiment are integrally formed, so that the bracket frame 20 is an integrally formed component. This can further enhance the structural stability and mechanical strength of the bracket frame 20, avoid gaps and loosening problems that may be caused by the connection between multiple components, ensure the sturdiness of the bracket frame 20 during use, and also help to simplify the manufacturing process, reduce assembly errors, and improve production efficiency.

[0044] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bracket head 10 has a first through hole 11, the elastic part 30 has a second through hole 31, and the bracket frame 20 has a third through hole 25. The first through hole 11, the second through hole 31, and the third through hole 25 are all arranged through the bracket head 10, the elastic part 30, and the bracket frame 20, so that the first through hole 11, the second through hole 31, and the third through hole 25 are sequentially connected and communicate with the mounting area 21. In this way, the three through holes can achieve heat dissipation of the hard drive, optimize the airflow path, help reduce wind resistance, and thus improve heat dissipation efficiency.

[0045] The size relationship of the first through hole 11, the second through hole 31, and the third through hole 25 can be set as needed. In this embodiment, it is preferable to set the size of the first through hole 11 to be larger than that of the second through hole 31 and the third through hole 25, so that the size of the first through hole 11 is maximized. The first through hole 11 can provide more significant flow space, optimizing ventilation efficiency while ensuring overall strength. Furthermore, since the opening ratio of the first through hole 11 is higher than that of the second through hole 31 and the third through hole 25, it can also effectively reduce wind resistance, ensure smooth cooling airflow, and thus improve the heat dissipation performance of the hard drive tray. At the same time, the larger hole diameter helps to reduce material usage, lower production costs, and make the hard drive tray lighter while meeting structural strength requirements.

[0046] The shapes of the first through hole 11, the second through hole 31, and the third through hole 25 can also be set as needed, and rectangular holes, square holes, round holes, etc. can all be used. In one optional embodiment, the first through hole 11 is a larger square hole, while the second through hole 31 and / or the third through hole 25 is a relatively smaller hexagonal hole. This ensures good ventilation and enhances the local load-bearing capacity of the metal sheet by utilizing special geometric shapes, reducing the strength reduction caused by the openings, and achieving a balance between lightweight structure and high wind resistance. In another optional embodiment, the first through hole 11 is a rhomboid hole, while the second through hole 31 and / or the third through hole 25 is a square hole. The square hole has a simpler structure, is easier to process and manufacture, and has a lower cost. Moreover, it can also provide a certain load-bearing capacity to ensure the structural strength of the elastic part 30 and the bracket frame 20. Of course, other shapes can also be used in addition to the shapes mentioned above.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second through hole 31 and the third through hole 25 are of the same shape and size, and are axially aligned, meaning their axes are essentially coincident. This allows airflow to pass directly from the first through hole 11 through the second through hole 31 and the third through hole 25 into the mounting area 21 without being affected by the frame of the third through hole 25, resulting in lower airflow resistance and better heat dissipation. Preferably, this embodiment uses a one-to-one correspondence between the second through hole 31 and the third through hole 25. However, it is also possible to use an unequal number of second through holes 31 and third through holes 25. In this case, the smaller number of second through holes 31 and third through holes 25 is entirely axially aligned with the other, while some of the larger number are not axially aligned.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the hard drive tray in this embodiment also includes a light guide 50. The light guide 50 can be a light guide column. The light guide 50 is disposed on the side of the tray frame 20 and extends in a direction away from the tray head 10, that is, the light guide 50 extends in the front-to-back direction. The light guide 50 can serve as a visual indicator, which can transmit light sources such as indicator lights back and forth, thereby ensuring that the status of components such as hard drives can be clearly identified.

[0049] In this embodiment, the bracket frame 20 has a recess 26 on its side, and the light guide 50 is disposed within the recess 26. The side of the light guide 50 should not protrude beyond the recess 26 as much as possible, but its two ends can extend beyond the recess 26 as needed to facilitate cooperation with other components. This ensures that the light guide 50 does not interfere with other components and affect their installation. In this embodiment, a limiting structure 27 is provided at the recess 26. When the light guide 50 is installed within the recess 26, it forms a limiting fit with the limiting structure 27, thereby fixing the light guide 50 within the recess 26 and preventing accidental dislodgement.

[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, at least a portion of the side surfaces of the bracket frame 20 are recessed away from the mounting area 21, and a recess 26 is formed on the inner side surface of the bracket frame 20. More specifically, in this embodiment, an outwardly protruding sidewall is provided on the inner side surface of the first segment 22 and / or the third segment 24 of the bracket frame 20 facing the mounting area 21. The inner side of this sidewall forms the recess 26, so that the opening side of the recess 26 faces the mounting area 21. The recess 26 is connected to the mounting area 21 through the opening side, and the light guide 50 can be installed into the recess 26 through the opening side. In this way, the light guide 50 is disposed on the inner wall of the bracket frame 20, so it is not exposed outside the bracket frame 20 and can be protected by the bracket frame 20. At the same time, the setting of the recess 26 also makes the originally planar first segment 22 and third segment 24 into a curved form, thereby further enhancing the structural strength of the first segment 22 and third segment 24, and thus enhancing the overall structural strength of the bracket frame 20.

[0051] In this embodiment, the recess 26 has a through hole on its side. More specifically, through holes are provided on the top and bottom sides of the recess 26. The limiting structure 27 includes a limiting protrusion located at the through hole. The limiting protrusion can be provided at each through hole or only at some through holes. Correspondingly, the light guide 50 has a protrusion that can cooperate with the through hole, that is, the protrusion can extend into the through hole. Thus, when the light guide 50 is installed, the protrusion is installed into the through hole. At this time, the protrusion and the limiting protrusion abut against each other to form a limiting cooperation relationship. The protrusion is blocked by the limiting protrusion and cannot be arbitrarily dislodged from the through hole, thereby achieving the effect of installing the light guide 50 in the recess 26.

[0052] The number of through holes and limiting structures 27 can be set as needed. Through holes and limiting protrusions can be provided on both sides of both ends of the recess 26 in the longitudinal direction, so that both ends of the light guide 50 can be fixed, or they can be provided only at one end.

[0053] like Figure 2As shown, the hard disk bracket in this embodiment also includes a Mylar patch 60. The Mylar patch 60 is disposed on the opening side of the recess 26 facing the mounting area 21 and is attached to the light guide 50 and the bracket frame 20, so that the Mylar patch 60 can play a role in auxiliary fixation and insulation, preventing the light guide 50 from being displaced or damaged due to external force or vibration.

[0054] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hard drive tray also includes a side bracket 70, which is connected to the tray frame 20. The side bracket 70 can be located at the first segment 22 and the third segment 24. Due to the setting of the side bracket 70, the thickness of the first segment 22 and the third segment 24 can be reduced as needed. The side bracket 70 compensates for the impact on structural strength caused by the reduction in thickness, so that the overall structural strength of the tray frame 20 is not affected and can even be further enhanced. The light guide 50 can be clamped between the side bracket 70 and the tray frame 20. At this time, it is not necessary to provide the recess 26 on the first segment 22 and the third segment 24. The clamping action of the side bracket 70 can also fix the light guide 50, making the light guide 50 more firmly fixed and less prone to movement and deformation. It also achieves effective integration between the light guide 50 and the tray frame 20, simplifying the assembly process and reducing the complexity and cost increased by independently fixing the light guide 50.

[0055] Preferably, the side bracket 70 can be made of plastic. Since the bracket frame 20 is made of metal, using plastic for the side bracket 70 can further reduce the overall weight while ensuring structural strength, thus contributing to lightweight design and cost reduction.

[0056] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 5 As shown, a snap-fit ​​structure 90 is provided between the side bracket 70 and the bracket frame 20. The snap-fit ​​structure 90 may include a snap fastener and a snap hole. One of the snap fastener and the snap hole is provided on the side bracket 70, and the other is provided on the bracket frame 20. This allows the side bracket 70 and the bracket frame 20 to be connected and engaged through the snap-fit ​​relationship between the snap fastener and the snap hole, so that the side bracket 70 can be installed on the outer side of the bracket frame 20 through the snap-fit ​​structure 90.

[0057] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning structure 51 is also provided between the light guide 50 and the bracket frame 20. The design of the positioning structure 51 ensures that the position of the light guide 50 is stable during installation and that the light guide 50 will not wobble after installation. The specific structure of the positioning structure 51 can be set as needed. In this embodiment, a positioning post and a positioning hole are used. The positioning post is located on the light guide 50, and the positioning hole is located on the side of the recess 26 opposite to the opening side. Thus, when the light guide 50 is installed into the recess 26 through the opening side, aligning the positioning post with the positioning hole will place the light guide 50 into the recess 26. The cooperation between the protrusion and the limiting protrusion will then secure the light guide 50.

[0058] Optionally, the specific connection method between the tray head 10 and the tray frame 20 can be set as needed. In one specific embodiment, the tray head 10 and the tray frame 20 have a snap-fit ​​structure, which can be a snap-fit ​​or similar structure. The tray head 10 is connected to the tray frame 20 through the snap-fit ​​structure, thereby achieving the effect of mounting the tray head 10 on the tray frame 20. In another specific embodiment, both the tray head 10 and the tray frame 20 have mounting holes. The hard drive tray also includes a fastener 80, which can be a screw or similar component. The fastener 80 passes through the mounting hole to connect the tray head 10 and the tray frame 20 together, thus connecting them together with the elastic part 30 between them. Compared with the snap-fit ​​structure, the fastener 80 connection method is simpler in structure, easier and faster to install and disassemble, and has better connection tightness.

[0059] This embodiment also provides an electronic device, including a chassis, a hard drive, and the aforementioned hard drive bracket. The hard drive is installed in the mounting area 21 of the hard drive bracket and can be locked together with the hard drive bracket by screws, clips, or other structures. The hard drive bracket is installed inside the chassis. The outer edge of the elastic part 30 on the hard drive bracket has a spring-loaded structure. At this time, the spring-loaded structure can contact and cooperate with the chassis or its internal components, thereby realizing functions such as conductivity.

[0060] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0061] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects:

[0062] This embodiment of the hard drive bracket achieves a balance between lightweight construction and high strength by combining a plastic bracket head 10 and a sheet metal bracket frame 20. The plastic material of the bracket head 10 not only reduces the overall weight but also lowers production costs. Since the bracket frame 20 is a sheet metal component, it ensures the stability of the side walls and the overall load-bearing capacity of the bracket, effectively preventing deformation during hard drive installation. The elastic portion 30, located between the bracket head 10 and the bracket frame 20, can make close contact with internal chassis components, providing conductivity and shock absorption. The addition of the reinforcing portion 40 further enhances the structural strength of the bracket head 10, increasing the overall structural strength of the hard drive bracket. Furthermore, the bracket head 10, the elastic portion 30, and the bracket frame 20 are arranged in a three-layer structure with no other structures in between, which helps reduce wind resistance and improve ventilation and heat dissipation. The above configuration enhances structural strength while ensuring the overall lightweight design of the hard drive tray, guaranteeing the stability and reliability of the hard drives mounted on the tray. It also facilitates ventilation and heat dissipation for the hard drives, achieving a harmonious balance between strength, ventilation, and lightweight design. This improves the internal heat dissipation performance of the server, ensuring the stability of hard drive operation and the high efficiency of the server.
