[0012] Furthermore, a second window is detachably mounted on the bracket body. The second window includes a second window body and a second connecting structure. The second window body has a second expansion card mounting area, and the second connecting structure is disposed at the second expansion card mounting area for connection with an expansion card.

[0042] 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.
[0043] To address the issue of poor integration between storage areas and PCIe expansion card areas in related technologies, which affects the utilization of internal space in server chassis, this application provides a bracket.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the bracket includes a bracket body 10, on which a first window 20 is detachably mounted. The first window 20 includes a first window body 21 and a first connecting structure 22. The first window body 21 has a first hard disk mounting area 211 and a first expansion card mounting area 212. The first hard disk mounting area 211 is used to mount a hard disk 30. The first connecting structure 22 is disposed at the first expansion card mounting area 212 for connection with an expansion card 40.
[0046] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the first window 20 has a first hard disk installation area 211 and a first expansion card installation area 212. The first hard disk installation area 211 is used to install the hard disk 30, and the first expansion card installation area 212 is connected to the expansion card 40 through the first connection structure 22. Thus, the first window 20 realizes the integration of the storage area and the PCIe expansion card area, thereby solving the problem in related technologies where the poor integration of the storage area and the PCIe expansion card area affects the utilization rate of the internal space of the server chassis. At the same time, the first window 20 is detachably installed on the bracket body 10, allowing staff to choose to install the hard disk 30 and the expansion card 40, install only the hard disk 30, or install only the expansion card 40 according to actual needs without changing the main structure of the server. This not only optimizes the internal space management of the server but also significantly improves the flexibility of hardware configuration.
[0047] like Figure 2 , Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the first expansion card mounting area 212 has a first through hole, and the first connection structure 22 includes a first connection body 221, a first connection lug 222, and a first mating block 223. The first connection body 221 is disposed on the first connection body 221 to connect the expansion card 40 and the bracket by passing a first fastener through the first connection lug 222 and the expansion card 40. The first mating block 223 is disposed on the first connection body 221. The first mating block 223 extends into the first through hole and is stopped by the first through hole. Thus, by providing a first through hole in the first expansion card mounting area 212, and combining it with the first connection structure 22 composed of the first connection body 221, the first connection lug 222, and the first mating block 223, a stable and precise expansion card installation is achieved, thereby improving the installation stability of the server expansion card and ensuring signal transmission quality. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the first connection lug 222 and the first fastener ensures the stable installation of the expansion card 40 on the first window 20, avoiding signal transmission interruption or instability caused by vibration or loosening.
[0048] In this embodiment, the first mating block 223 extends into the first through hole and is limited and stopped by the first through hole, which not only achieves precise physical alignment, but also provides additional mechanical support and reliability of electrical connection, ensuring the continuity and integrity of electrical signal transmission between the expansion card 40 and the server.
[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting body 221 includes a first plate 2211 and a second plate 2212 connected to each other. The first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 are arranged at an angle. A first connecting lug 222 is disposed on the first plate surface of the first plate 2211, and a first mating block 223 is disposed on the second plate surface of the first plate 2211. The second plate 2212 is disposed opposite to the side of the first window. Thus, by setting the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212 at an angle on the first connecting body 221, combined with the first connecting lug 222 and the first mating block 223 respectively disposed on different plates of the first plate, precise alignment and multi-angle support are achieved, thereby improving the installation stability and signal transmission efficiency of the expansion card 40. Simultaneously, the angled arrangement between the first plate 2211 and the second plate 2212, along with the aforementioned three-dimensional structure, provides multi-directional physical support, enhancing the installation stability of the expansion card 40.
[0050] In this embodiment, the first connecting lug 222 is disposed on the first plate surface of the first plate body 2211 and is used to cooperate with the first fastener to ensure the secure installation of the expansion card 40 and prevent loosening due to vibration or external force during server operation. Simultaneously, the first mating block 223 is disposed on the second plate surface of the first plate body opposite to the first connecting lug 222, extending into the first through hole and engaging with the limiting stop of the first through hole, forming precise electrical contact and mechanical positioning. This ensures the quality of electrical signal transmission between the expansion card 40 and the server, reduces signal attenuation and interference, and improves the reliability and speed of data transmission.
[0051] Specifically, the second plate 2212 is positioned opposite the side of the first window, further strengthening the structural strength of the first connecting body 221, enabling it to withstand greater external impacts and protecting the expansion card 40 from damage. This design not only optimizes the physical installation environment of the expansion card 40 but also improves its electrical connection performance with the server.
[0052] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the bracket also includes a first baffle 50, which is disposed inside the first window 20 to limit and stop the expansion card 40. The first baffle 50 includes a third plate 51 and a fourth plate 52. The third plate 51 has multiple second through holes 511 spaced along its length and / or width, and contacts the first surface of the first plate 2211. The fourth plate 52 is connected to the third plate 51 and is disposed at an angle, contacting the second plate 2212. A first connecting lug 222 is located below the third plate 51 to support it. This configuration enhances the positioning accuracy and overall stability of the expansion card 40, thereby improving the security of server operation and the performance of the expansion card 40. Meanwhile, the third plate 51 of the first baffle 50 contacts the first plate surface of the first plate 2211 and engages with the corresponding fastener through the second through hole 511, forming a horizontal limit on the expansion card 40. This ensures the precise position of the expansion card after installation, avoids the influence of minor displacements caused by equipment operation on signal transmission, and maintains signal clarity and stability. The fourth plate 52 forms an angled connection with the third plate 51 and contacts the second plate 2212, providing additional support in the vertical direction and enhancing the structural strength of the entire first baffle 50. Even if the server encounters significant vibrations during transportation or operation, the first baffle 50 can remain stable, thereby indirectly reinforcing the installation state of the expansion card 40.
[0053] In this embodiment, the first connecting lug 222 is located below the third plate 51, thereby utilizing the weight of the first baffle 50 as part of the supporting force, so that when the third plate 51 is affected by the gravity of the expansion card 40, it can make closer contact with the first connecting body 221, further improving the physical installation stability and electrical contact reliability of the expansion card 40.
[0054] like Figure 5As shown, the first window body 21 includes a fifth plate 214, a sixth plate 215, a seventh plate 216, and a support plate 217. The fifth plate 214 has a first hard disk mounting area 211 and a first expansion card mounting area 212. The sixth plate 215 is connected to the fifth plate 214 at an angle and is connected to the bracket body 10. The seventh plate 216 is connected to the fifth plate 214 at an angle, and the seventh plate 216 and the sixth plate 215 are located on opposite sides of the fifth plate 214; the seventh plate 216 forms the side of the first window. The support plate 217 is disposed on the fifth plate 214 and is located below the first connecting lug 222 to support the first connecting lug 222. In this way, by designing a composite structure including a fifth plate 214, a sixth plate 215, a seventh plate 216 and a support plate 217 in the first window body 21, the overall rigidity of the bracket is enhanced and the purpose of multi-functional integration is achieved, thereby improving the efficiency of internal space utilization and hardware stability of the server.
[0055] In this embodiment, the fifth board 214 integrates the first hard disk mounting area 211 and the first expansion card mounting area 212, realizing the functional integration of supporting different types of hardware on the same structure, optimizing the internal space layout of the server, and improving space utilization. The sixth board 215 is connected to the fifth board 214 at an angle and directly connected to the bracket body 10. This not only increases the contact area between the first window body 21 and the bracket body 10, improving the stability of the structure, but also effectively isolates different hardware components through a three-dimensional design, avoiding potential electromagnetic interference and physical collisions, and enhancing the compatibility and security of the internal hardware of the server. At the same time, the seventh board 216 is set at an angle to the fifth board 214 and is distributed on both sides of the fifth board 214 relative to the sixth board 215. This not only forms the side of the first window 20, increasing the aesthetics of the overall structure, but also effectively disperses external pressure and vibration, protecting the internally installed hard disk 30 and expansion card 40 from damage. Especially when the server is under high load or in a mobile environment, it can significantly improve the stability and lifespan of the hardware.
[0056] Specifically, the support plate 217 is disposed on the fifth plate 214 and located below the first connecting lug 222. This design provides vertical support for the first connecting lug 222, ensuring the stability of the expansion card 40 when installed in the first expansion card installation area 212, reducing the risk of deformation caused by gravity or external forces. At the same time, the synergistic effect of the support plate 217 and the first connecting lug 222 can also optimize the heat dissipation conditions of the expansion card, helping to reduce the temperature during server operation, thereby extending the service life of the hardware and improving the operating efficiency of the server.
[0057] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the first hard disk mounting area 211 has a first mounting hole 213 and a third through hole to connect the hard disk 30 and the bracket by passing a second fastener through the first mounting hole 213 and the hard disk 30; the third through hole is positioned opposite to the hard disk 30; wherein, the first mounting hole 213 is located outside the third through hole. Thus, by designing the first mounting hole 213 and the third through hole in the first hard disk mounting area 211, combined with the use of the second fastener, a stable and convenient hard disk installation is achieved, thereby improving the installation stability and data read / write performance of the hard disk 30. Simultaneously, the cooperative use of the first mounting hole 213 and the second fastener ensures that the hard disk 30 can be securely mounted on the bracket, preventing displacement of the hard disk 30 due to vibration or external force during server operation or movement, thereby reducing potential errors during data read / write and improving the reliability of data storage.
[0058] In this embodiment, the relative position of the third through hole and the hard disk 30 is precisely matched, which not only provides a positioning reference for hard disk installation, but also allows the hard disk to connect to the server's internal cooling system or backplane for signals and power. This ensures that the hard disk can work collaboratively with other components of the server during operation, optimizes the data transmission path, and reduces signal latency and attenuation. Meanwhile, the first mounting hole 213 is located outside the third through hole, which not only avoids interference with the connecting wires or cooling devices in the third through hole during hard disk installation, but also facilitates the installation of fasteners, simplifying the hard disk installation and removal process, reducing maintenance costs, and ensuring the stability of the electrical and mechanical connections of the hard disk 30.
[0059] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the first window body 21 also has a reinforcing region 218, located between the first expansion card mounting region 212 and the first hard disk mounting region 211. The reinforcing region 218 has a second mounting hole 2181 and a protrusion 2182 protruding towards the side opposite to the expansion card 40. The bracket also includes a limiting structure 60, which has an arc-shaped limiting surface protruding towards the expansion card 40. The arc-shaped limiting surface extends into the inner side of the first window body 21 via the second mounting hole 2181 to limit and stop the expansion card. Thus, by providing the reinforcing region 218 in the first window body 21 and adding the limiting structure 60 with an arc-shaped limiting surface in the bracket, the positioning accuracy and vibration resistance of the expansion card 40 are enhanced. Meanwhile, the reinforced area 218 is located between the first expansion card mounting area 212 and the first hard disk mounting area 211, utilizing the gap between the two functional areas. This not only increases the overall rigidity of the first window body 21, but also provides an installation position and additional support point for the limiting structure 60 through the second mounting hole 2181 and the protrusion 2182. The protrusion 2182 protrudes to the side away from the expansion card 40, which helps to disperse the external force on the bracket, reduce the impact of force concentration on the installation position of the expansion card 40, and improve the stability of the expansion card installation.
[0060] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped limiting surface of the limiting structure 60, in conjunction with the second mounting hole 2181, allows the limiting structure to precisely extend into the inner side of the first window body 21, directly acting on the expansion card installed in the first expansion card mounting area 212, providing a multi-dimensional limiting function from the side to the back. This limiting design effectively prevents the expansion card from shifting due to minor vibrations during high-speed data transmission, thereby reducing the risk of signal attenuation and data errors, and ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of data transmission. Simultaneously, the special shape of the arc-shaped limiting surface in contact with the expansion card 40 also provides a flexible limiting effect, avoiding physical damage to the expansion card that may be caused by hard contact, further improving the long-term operational stability of the server and the lifespan of the hardware.
[0061] Optionally, the first window 20, the second window 70, and the third window 80 can be selectively installed on the bracket body 10. Among them, the first window 20 is equipped with a hard disk 30 and an expansion card 40, the second window 70 is equipped with only the expansion card 40, and the third window 80 is equipped with only the hard disk 30. The staff can choose which window to install on the bracket body 10 according to the usage requirements and working conditions.
[0062] Optionally, the bracket also includes a signal transmitting device for transmitting a preset signal to determine whether the first window 20 or the third window 80 is installed on the bracket body 10 after the hard disk 30 receives the preset signal; or, the first window 20 is provided with a first identifier, the second window 70 is provided with a second identifier, and the third window 80 is provided with a third identifier; the bracket also includes an image acquisition device to determine the window in use based on the markings acquired by the image acquisition device. In this way, by integrating a signal transmitting device or an image acquisition device into the bracket and setting corresponding receiving mechanisms or identifiers on each window, the purpose of automatically detecting the window type and installation status is achieved, thereby enhancing the modular management of the server and the system flexibility.
[0063] In this embodiment, the bracket also includes a signal transmitting device, which sends a preset signal to determine whether the first window 20 or the third window 80 is installed on the bracket body 10 after the hard disk 30 receives the preset signal. This signal transmitting device allows the server to automatically detect whether the first window 20 or the third window 80 is installed correctly after the hard disk 30 is connected, thereby reducing the need for manual checks, avoiding configuration errors caused by misoperation or negligence, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of system configuration. When the hard disk receives the preset signal, it determines the presence status of the window through its built-in recognition logic, which can quickly feed back to the server's management system, facilitating real-time updates of hardware configuration information and timely resource scheduling and performance optimization.
[0064] In other embodiments not shown in the accompanying drawings, a first identifier is provided on the first window 20, a second identifier is provided on the second window 70, and a third identifier is provided on the third window 80. The bracket also includes an image acquisition device to determine the window in use based on the markers acquired by the image acquisition device. Thus, the first, second, and third identifiers, in conjunction with the image acquisition device, establish the basis for visual recognition. This method can not only distinguish between different types of windows (such as the first window 20, the second window 70, and the third window 80), but also quickly determine the installation position and status of the windows, making it suitable for various server environments, including situations with changing lighting and limited space. Based on the acquired identifier information, the image acquisition device can automatically identify and report to the server management system which windows are in use and which are still vacant, greatly simplifying the server's hardware monitoring and maintenance process and improving the system's manageability and maintainability.
[0065] Example 2
[0066] The difference between the bracket in Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that only expansion cards are installed on the bracket.
[0067] Optionally, the first window 20 and the second window 70 may be selectively mounted on the bracket body 10.
[0068] like Figures 8 to 11 As shown, a second window 70 is detachably mounted on the bracket body 10. The second window 70 includes a second window body 71 and a second connecting structure 72. The second window body 71 has a second expansion card mounting area 711, and the second connecting structure 72 is disposed at the second expansion card mounting area 711 for connection with the expansion card 40. The second expansion card mounting area 711 can be single or multiple, spaced apart along the height of the second window 70. This detachable configuration of the second window 70 allows operators to easily add or replace modules on the bracket body 10 as needed. The arrangement of the second expansion card mounting area 711, whether as a single area or multiple areas spaced apart along the height, can support the installation of different numbers and types of expansion cards 40, meeting the server's needs in different application scenarios. When there is only one second expansion card mounting area 711, it provides highly centralized and optimized connection performance, suitable for application scenarios with strict performance requirements for a single type of expansion card. When there are multiple second expansion card installation areas 711, by setting them at intervals along the height direction of the second window 70, it is possible to achieve diversified functions and effective allocation of resources, which is suitable for complex environments that require multiple types of expansion cards to work at the same time.
[0069] In this embodiment, the aforementioned configuration of the second connection structure 72 ensures a stable connection between the second expansion card mounting area 711 and the expansion card 40. This maintains clear and stable electrical signals even under high-speed data transmission or server vibration environments, improving data processing efficiency and accuracy. Simultaneously, this modular design simplifies and expedites the upgrading and replacement of the second window 70, reducing downtime caused by hardware upgrades, thereby lowering operating costs and improving the overall operating efficiency of the server.
[0070] In this embodiment, there are three second expansion card installation areas 711, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the second window 70. There are also three expansion cards 40, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the three second expansion card installation areas 711.
[0071] Example 3
[0072] The difference between the bracket in Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 1 is that only the hard drive is installed on the bracket.
[0073] Optionally, the first window 20, the second window 70, and the third window 80 may be selectively mounted on the bracket body 10.
[0074] like Figures 12 to 14As shown, a third form 80 is detachably mounted on the bracket body 10. The third form 80 has a second hard disk mounting area 81, which has a third mounting hole 811 for a third fastener to pass through, so that the hard disk 30 and the bracket can be connected by passing the third fastener through the third mounting hole 811 and the hard disk 30. This detachable design of the third form 80 allows operators to freely add or remove hard disk mounting modules according to the actual needs and workload of the server, enabling quick installation and replacement of hard disks without the need for complex tools or specialized knowledge.
[0075] In this embodiment, the use of the third mounting hole 811 on the second hard disk mounting area 81 in conjunction with the third fastener not only ensures the stability of the hard disk 30 installation and reduces the displacement of the hard disk in server operation or vibration environment, thus protecting the security of data, but also simplifies the installation process and avoids the problems of alignment difficulties and fastener loss that may be encountered in traditional installation methods.
