Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server hardware technology, specifically to a server extended hard disk array. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technologies often employ hard drive expansion to meet server storage capacity requirements. For example, hard drive arrays typically include dozens of hard drives, boasting high integration density and enormous data storage capacity. A search revealed a server expansion hard drive array disclosed in Chinese patent CN222145799U, relating to server hardware. This server expansion hard drive array includes an expansion hard drive bay. Inside the bay are multiple sets of hard drive mounting brackets arranged in a stepped configuration. On both sides of the bay are multiple sets of cable clips arranged in a stepped configuration. Externally, a heat dissipation mechanism is provided. Because the multiple hard drive mounting brackets are arranged in a stepped configuration inside the bay, combined with the cable clips on the sides, it facilitates neat cable arrangement and locking, resulting in good stability for the multiple expanded hard drives. Furthermore, the design of the heat dissipation mechanism and heat sinks enables rapid heat dissipation for the expanded hard drives within the bay, achieving excellent heat dissipation performance.

[0003] However, in actual use, because the cable clips are fixed on the inclined plate and the clamping direction is fixed, some lines with inconsistent orientations need to be bent to complete the clamping and fixing. This method is not only troublesome, but long-term bending may also damage the outer sheath of the line, resulting in a safety accident of exposed wires. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem that existing arrays are difficult to adjust and cause inconvenience in clamping cables, this invention provides a server expansion hard disk array.

[0005] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A server expansion hard disk array includes an expansion hard disk socket. The top surface of the expansion hard disk socket has placement slots on both sides, and a hard disk mounting base is disposed inside each placement slot. The expansion hard disk socket has cable clamping assemblies on both sides of the hard disk mounting base. Each cable clamping assembly includes a frame. The frame is mounted on the outer wall of the expansion hard disk socket. A slider is slidably connected inside the frame. A pivot is mounted on one side of the slider. The slider is rotatably connected to a clamping seat via the pivot. Cable grooves are formed on both sides of the outer wall of the clamping seat. Elastic washers are installed on the inner walls of the cable grooves. A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the frame, and one end of the lead screw is threaded to one side of the slider.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the extended hard drive dock has a circular hole, and a heat dissipation mechanism is provided inside the circular hole. The heat dissipation mechanism includes a fan duct, and the fan duct is installed inside the circular hole.

[0008] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by blowing air through the fan, the airflow in the air duct is accelerated, thereby facilitating the delivery of low-temperature airflow to the interior of the extended hard drive bay for cooling and heat dissipation.

[0009] Furthermore, a cylinder cover is threadedly connected to the top of the air duct, and a filter screen is embedded on one side of the cylinder cover.

[0010] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, through the connection and use of the cylinder cover, it can drive the filter screen to the top of the air duct to filter the air.

[0011] Furthermore, the extended hard drive socket has an internal vent, and the placement slot and the circular hole are connected to each other through the vent.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, by setting the exhaust port, the low-temperature air in the round hole can be guided to the placement slot, and the hard drive mounting bracket inside the placement slot can be cooled by air.

[0013] Furthermore, the hard drive mounting bracket includes a frame, and a spacer block is mounted on the outer wall of the frame, with one side of the spacer block connected to the inner wall of the placement slot.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by installing and using the spacer, a gap is maintained between the seat frame and the placement slot, which is conducive to air circulation.

[0015] Furthermore, the inner walls of the seat frame are respectively provided with slots on both sides.

[0016] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the bayonet design makes it easier to fix the corresponding hard drive inside the frame.

[0017] Furthermore, the top of the lead screw extends to the top of the frame and is connected to a knob.

[0018] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the forward and reverse rotation of the lead screw is more convenient through the use of the knob connection.

[0019] Furthermore, the hard disk mounting bracket is arranged in a stepped pattern inside the expansion hard disk bracket.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] This type of server extended hard drive array, through the combined use of placement slots, hard drive mounting brackets, and cable clamping components, enables the array to be adjustable, making it suitable for clamping and fixing cables in different orientations. The placement slots provide space for the hard drive mounting brackets. By causing a lead screw to rotate in both directions, and through the threaded connection between the lead screw and the slider, the slider can move up and down within the frame, causing the clamp to move synchronously with the slider. The installation of a rotating shaft allows the clamp to rotate to one side of the slider until the cable groove on the clamp is aligned with the cable orientation. The installation of elastic washers further protects the cables inside the cable grooves. Attached Figure Description

[0029] Example 1

[0030] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a server expansion hard disk array, including an expansion hard disk socket 100. The top surface of the expansion hard disk socket 100 has placement slots 700 on both sides. A hard disk mounting base 200 is disposed inside the placement slots 700. Cable clamping assemblies 400 are provided on both sides of the hard disk mounting base 200. Each cable clamping assembly 400 includes a frame 4001.

By causing the lead screw 4004 to rotate in both directions, and in conjunction with the threaded connection between the lead screw 4004 and the slider 4002, the slider 4002 can move up and down inside the frame 4001. This causes the clamp 4006 to move synchronously with the slider 4002. Through the installation and use of the rotating shaft 4003, the clamp 4006 can rotate to one side of the slider 4002 until the wire groove on the clamp 4006 is aligned with the wire orientation. With the installation and use of the elastic washer 4007, it can protect the wire inside the wire groove.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] Please see Figures 1-5As an embodiment of this utility model, the top surface of the extended hard disk dock 100 is further provided with a circular hole 500, and a heat dissipation mechanism 300 is provided inside the circular hole 500. The heat dissipation mechanism 300 includes a fan 3001, which is installed inside the circular hole 500. A fan 3004 is installed inside the fan 3001. By blowing air through the fan 3004, the airflow in the fan 3001 is accelerated, thereby facilitating the delivery of low-temperature airflow to the interior of the extended hard disk dock 100 for cooling. The top end of the fan 3001 is threaded with a... The cylinder cover 3002 has a filter screen 3003 embedded on one side. Through the connection of the cylinder cover 3002, the filter screen 3003 can be driven to the top of the air duct 3001 to filter the air. The interior of the extended hard disk bracket 100 has an exhaust port 600. The placement slot 700 and the round hole 500 are connected to each other through the exhaust port 600. Through the setting of the exhaust port 600, the low temperature air in the round hole 500 can be guided to the placement slot 700, and the hard disk mounting bracket 200 inside the placement slot 700 can be cooled by air.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Please see Figures 1-5 As an embodiment of this utility model, the hard disk mounting base 200 further includes a frame 2001. A spacer block 2003 is installed on the outer wall of the frame 2001. One side of the spacer block 2003 is connected to the inner wall of the placement slot 700. Through the installation and use of the spacer block 2003, a distance is maintained between the frame 2001 and the placement slot 700, which is conducive to air circulation. The inner walls of the frame 2001 are respectively provided with slots 2002. Through the setting of the slots 2002, it is easy to fix the corresponding hard disk inside the frame 2001. The top of the lead screw 4004 extends to the top of the square frame 4001 and is connected to a knob 4005. Through the connection and use of the knob 4005, it is easier to rotate the lead screw 4004 in both directions. The hard disk mounting base 200 is distributed in a stepped shape inside the extended hard disk base 100.

[0036] Specifically, the working principle of this type of server expansion hard disk array is as follows: First, check the array's structure for integrity. Only after confirming the structure is intact should it be used. By holding and turning the knob 4005, the knob drives the lead screw 4004 to rotate in both directions. This, combined with the threaded connection between the lead screw 4004 and the slider 4002, allows the slider 4002 to move up and down within the frame 4001. This causes the clamp 4006 to move synchronously with the slider 4002. Through the installation and use of the rotating shaft 4003, the clamp 4006 can rotate to one side of the slider 4002 until the wire groove on the clamp 4006 aligns with the wiring orientation. With the installation and use of the elastic washer 4007, the wiring inside the wire groove is protected. The system provides a protective function, and the placement slot 700 provides space for the installation of the hard drive mounting bracket 200. The spacer block 2003 maintains a distance between the frame 2001 and the placement slot 700, which facilitates air circulation. The fan 3004 is activated to blow air, which accelerates the airflow in the air duct 3001 and facilitates the delivery of low-temperature air to the interior of the extended hard drive bracket 100 for cooling. The cover 3002 allows the filter 3003 to be placed at the top of the air duct 3001 to filter the air. The exhaust port 600 guides the low-temperature air from the round hole 500 into the placement slot 700, providing air cooling for the hard drive mounting bracket 200 inside the placement slot 700.
