Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a chassis structure and a server. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a device that provides computing and storage services. The hard drive, as the core component for storing data, is placed in a hard drive enclosure, which is installed inside the server chassis.

[0003] In the existing technology, the hard drive frame is fixed inside the chassis by multiple screws. When it is necessary to replace or maintain the hard drive, the screws are removed one by one to remove the hard drive frame from the chassis, and then the hard drive is taken out from the hard drive frame.

[0004] However, the above methods of disassembling and assembling hard drives are inconvenient and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a chassis structure and server to solve the technical problems of inconvenient operation and low efficiency in hard drive disassembly and assembly.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a chassis structure, including: a chassis, a hard drive frame, and a handle. The hard drive frame is rotatably disposed within the chassis and has at least one mounting port for accommodating and installing a hard drive through the mounting port.

[0007] The handle is mounted on the hard drive frame and slides to the chassis. The handle has a locked and unlocked state.

[0008] When locked, the handle is connected to the hard drive frame, and the mounting port is hidden inside the enclosure. When unlocked, part of the handle is detached from the hard drive frame, and the handle rotates relative to the hard drive frame, causing the hard drive frame to rotate relative to the enclosure to expose the mounting port.

[0009] In this way, when locked, the handle is connected to the hard drive cage and locked onto it. The handle cannot rotate the hard drive cage, ensuring it is stably fixed inside the enclosure. Furthermore, the mounting opening is concealed within the enclosure, preventing the hard drive from detaching and improving safety. When unlocked, the handle allows the hard drive cage to rotate relative to the enclosure, exposing the mounting opening. This facilitates easy removal of the hard drive, improving both installation and removal efficiency.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has at least one first locking member on the hard drive frame and at least one second locking member on the handle. The second locking member is configured to move relative to the first locking member to engage or disengage from the first locking member, thereby locking or unlocking the handle to the hard drive frame.

[0011] This makes locking and unlocking quick and simple, improving the efficiency of hard drive installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the reliable locking mechanism reduces the risk of hard drive damage due to accidental loosening or detachment, enhancing the safety and reliability of the chassis structure.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has a first locking member that is a protrusion, and a second locking member that has a locking part that abuts against or disengages from the first locking member.

[0013] This provides a simple yet effective locking mechanism. Users can quickly lock and unlock by sliding the locking part against or away from the protrusion, reducing the number of steps and improving efficiency.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has a first through hole on the handle, and a locking part extends out of the handle through the first through hole to abut against the first locking member.

[0015] This allows for a more intuitive understanding and execution of locking and unlocking operations, reducing the possibility of accidental operation, providing a better user experience, and making the operation smoother and more natural.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application further includes an elastic element, and the second locking element also has a mounting portion, with one end of the elastic element sleeved on the mounting portion.

[0017] The handle is provided with a receiving groove, which is connected to the first through hole. The mounting part and the elastic element are both located in the receiving groove, and the other end of the elastic element abuts against the groove wall.

[0018] Thus, when an external force is applied to the second locking member, the elastic member is compressed, the second locking member moves, and the locking part disengages from the first locking part. When the external force is released, the restoring force of the elastic member pushes the second locking member back to its initial position, ensuring the reliability of the second locking member.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has at least one first latching part on the handle, and at least one second latching part on the second locking member, wherein the second latching part latches into the first latching part.

[0020] In this way, the first and second locking parts interlock, which can connect the second locking element to the handle, preventing the second locking element from falling off and improving the reliability of the second locking element.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application also has at least one second through hole on the handle, and the second snap-fit ​​part snaps into the first snap-fit ​​part through the second through hole.

[0022] This helps optimize the internal space layout of the handle, enabling the snap-fit ​​function without increasing the overall thickness of the handle, thus improving the compactness of the structure.

[0023] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has a sliding groove on the chassis body and a connector on the handle, the connector being slidably connected to the chassis body via the sliding groove.

[0024] In this way, the slide provides a fixed path for the handle, allowing the handle to slide without leaving the cabinet, thereby enabling the handle to rotate relative to the hard drive frame and drive the hard drive frame to rotate relative to the cabinet.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the chassis structure provided in this application has a stop portion provided in the slide groove. The stop portion is configured to abut against the connector when the mounting opening is exposed, so as to prevent the connector from sliding relative to the slide groove.

[0026] This allows the hard drive enclosure to be suspended, making it easy to remove the hard drive from the mounting port and facilitating installation or maintenance operations for the user.

[0027] Secondly, this application provides a server, including a server body and a chassis structure provided in the first aspect described above disposed on the server body.

[0028] The chassis structure and server provided in this application include a chassis, a hard drive cage, and a handle. The hard drive cage is rotatably mounted inside the chassis and has at least one mounting port for accommodating hard drives. The handle is rotatably mounted on the hard drive cage and is slidably connected to the chassis. The handle has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the handle is connected to the hard drive cage and locked onto it, preventing the handle from rotating the hard drive cage and ensuring its stable fixation within the chassis. Furthermore, the mounting port is concealed within the chassis, preventing the hard drive from detaching and improving safety. When it is necessary to remove or replace the hard drive, the handle is in the unlocked state. At this time, part of the handle is detached from the hard drive cage, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the hard drive cage, which in turn rotates the hard drive cage relative to the chassis, exposing the mounting port. This facilitates the removal of the hard drive from the mounting port, improving ease of operation and disassembly / removal efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0052] The accompanying drawings illustrate specific embodiments of this application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0053] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0054] In existing technology, the hard drive is placed in a hard drive enclosure, which is fixed inside the computer case by multiple screws. When the hard drive needs to be replaced or maintained, the screws must be removed one by one to detach the hard drive enclosure from the computer case, and then the hard drive must be removed from the enclosure. However, the above method of removing and installing hard drives is inconvenient and inefficient.

[0055] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a chassis structure and server. The chassis structure comprises a chassis body, a hard drive frame, and a handle. The hard drive frame is rotatably mounted within the chassis and has at least one mounting port for accommodating and installing hard drives. The handle is rotatably mounted on the hard drive frame and is slidably connected to the chassis body. The handle has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the handle is connected to the hard drive frame and locked onto it, preventing the handle from rotating the hard drive frame and ensuring its stable fixation within the chassis body. Furthermore, the mounting port is concealed within the chassis body, preventing the hard drive from detaching and improving safety. When it is necessary to remove or replace the hard drive, the handle is in the unlocked state. In this state, part of the handle is detached from the hard drive frame, allowing the handle to rotate relative to the hard drive frame and, in turn, causing the hard drive frame to rotate relative to the chassis body, exposing the mounting port. This facilitates the removal of the hard drive from the mounting port, improving ease of operation and increasing disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0056] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, this application provides a chassis structure, including: a chassis 100, a hard disk frame 200 and a handle 300. The hard disk frame 200 is rotatably disposed inside the chassis 100. The hard disk frame 200 has at least one mounting port 210 for accommodating and installing a hard disk 10 through the mounting port 210.

[0058] The handle 300 is rotatably mounted on the hard drive frame 200 and is slidably connected to the housing 100. The handle 300 has a locked state and an unlocked state.

[0059] When locked, the handle 300 is connected to the hard drive frame 200, and the mounting port 210 is hidden inside the enclosure 100. When unlocked, part of the handle 300 is disconnected from the hard drive frame 200, and the handle 300 rotates relative to the hard drive frame 200 to drive the hard drive frame 200 to rotate relative to the enclosure 100, thereby exposing the mounting port 210.

[0060] Understandably, the hard drive 10 is installed inside the hard drive frame 200, which is located inside the enclosure 100. The enclosure 100 can provide physical protection for the hard drive 10, preventing the influence of external factors such as dust, moisture, and physical impact.

[0061] The installation port 210 on the hard drive frame 200 facilitates the installation and securing of the hard drive 10. The hard drive frame 200 is rotatably mounted inside the enclosure 100, and the hard drive frame 200 can rotate relative to the enclosure 100, so that the installation port 210 of the hard drive frame 200 can be presented at different angles, making it easier for the user to remove the hard drive 10 from the installation port 210.

[0062] The handle 300 is rotatably mounted on the hard drive frame 200, providing a convenient grip point for the user without requiring direct contact with the hard drive frame 200 itself. The user can easily rotate the hard drive frame 200 relative to the housing 100 by pulling the handle 300. Exemplarily, the handle 300 and the hard drive frame 200 can be rotatably connected via a pivot, or other methods can be used for rotatable connection; this embodiment does not impose excessive limitations on this.

[0063] The handle 300 has locked and unlocked states. Specifically, in the locked state, the handle 300 is connected to the hard drive frame 200 and locked onto it. The handle 300 cannot rotate the hard drive frame 200, and the hard drive frame 200 can be stably fixed inside the enclosure 100. Furthermore, the mounting port 210 is hidden inside the enclosure 100, preventing the hard drive 10 from detaching from the enclosure 100 and improving security.

[0064] When unlocked, part of the handle 300 is disconnected from the hard drive frame 200, see reference. Figure 1 As shown, grasp the handle 300 and lift it upwards. Since the handle 300 is slidably connected to the housing 100 and is rotatably mounted on the hard drive frame 200, the handle 300 relative to the hard drive frame 200 (along...) Figure 1 Rotate (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow - W direction), and the handle 300 relative to the box body 100 (along the direction indicated by the middle arrow). Figure 1 Slide in the +X direction (as indicated by the middle arrow). Since the hard drive frame 200 is rotatably mounted inside the housing 100, the handle 300 moves the hard drive frame 200 relative to the housing 100 (along the direction indicated by the middle arrow). Figure 1 Rotate the hard drive 10 (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow + W) to expose the mounting port 210, making it easier to remove or replace the hard drive 10 from the mounting port 210. This makes the operation convenient and improves the efficiency of removing and installing the hard drive 10.

[0065] After completing the removal or replacement of hard drive 10, refer to Figure 4 As shown, pulling the handle 300 relative to the hard drive frame 200 (along...) Figure 4 Rotate the handle 300 relative to the box body 100 (as shown by the middle arrow in the +W direction) in the direction of the arrow. Figure 1 Slide the handle 300 (in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow) relative to the chassis 100 (along the X direction). Figure 1 Rotate the hard drive frame 200 (in the W direction as indicated by the middle arrow) to return it to its initial position. Finally, lock the handle 300, which is connected to the hard drive frame 200.

[0066] Understandably, the existing methods for disassembling and assembling the hard drive 10 are inconvenient and inefficient. The chassis structure and server provided in this application embodiment include a chassis 100, a hard drive frame 200, and a handle 300. The hard drive frame 200 is rotatably disposed within the chassis 100 and has at least one mounting port 210 for accommodating the hard drive 10. The handle 300 is rotatably disposed on the hard drive frame 200 and is slidably connected to the chassis 100. The handle 300 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the handle 300 is connected to the hard drive frame 200 and locked onto it, preventing the handle from rotating the hard drive frame 200. The hard drive frame 200 is stably fixed within the chassis 100. Furthermore, the mounting port 210 is hidden within the chassis 100, preventing the hard drive 10 from detaching and improving safety. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the hard drive 10, the handle 300 is in the unlocked state. At this time, part of the handle 300 is disconnected from the hard drive frame 200. The handle 300 can rotate relative to the hard drive frame 200, and drive the hard drive frame 200 to rotate relative to the housing 100 to expose the installation port 210, so as to facilitate the removal of the hard drive 10 from the installation port 210. The operation is convenient and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved.

[0067] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the hard disk frame 200 has at least one first locking member 220, and the handle 300 has at least one second locking member 310. The second locking member 310 is configured to move relative to the first locking member 220 to engage or disengage from the first locking member 220, so as to lock or unlock the handle 300 to the hard disk frame 200.

[0068] Specifically, by setting a first locking member 220 on the hard drive frame 200 and a second locking member 310 on the handle 300, the second locking member 310 abuts against the first locking member 220, thus locking the handle 300 to the hard drive frame 200. When it is necessary to remove or replace the hard drive 10, push the second locking member 310 on the handle 300, causing the second locking member 310 to move relative to the first locking member 220, disengaging the second locking member 310 from the first locking member 220, thereby unlocking the handle 300 from the hard drive frame 200. This locking and unlocking operation is quick and simple, improving the efficiency of hard drive 10 installation and maintenance. Furthermore, the reliable locking mechanism reduces the risk of damage to the hard drive 10 due to accidental loosening or detachment, improving the safety and reliability of the chassis structure.

[0069] It should be noted that, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, for a hard drive frame 200 that can accommodate four 3.5-inch hard drives 10, a first locking member 220 can be provided on the hard drive frame 200, and a second locking member 310 can be provided on the handle 300; for a hard drive frame 200 that can accommodate ten 2.5-inch hard drives 10, two first locking members 220 can be provided on the hard drive frame 200, and the two first locking members 220 are symmetrically arranged, and two second locking members 310 are provided on the handle 300. In this embodiment of the application, the number of first locking members 220 and second locking members 310 is not limited.

[0070] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 5 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the first locking member 220 is a protrusion, and the second locking member 310 is provided with a locking part 311, which abuts against or disengages from the first locking member 220.

[0071] It should be noted that the protruding design of the first locking member 220 and the locking part 311 on the second locking member 310 cooperate with each other to provide a simple and effective locking mechanism. Users can quickly lock and unlock by sliding the locking part 311 against or away from the protrusion, reducing operation steps and improving efficiency.

[0072] When the locking part 311 abuts against the protrusion, the hard disk frame 200 is stably fixed in position, preventing accidental movement or vibration, and improving the safety of the hard disk 10 during operation and transportation.

[0073] Specifically, the second locking member 310 is driven relative to the first locking member 220 (along... Figure 12 The middle arrow (in the +Y direction) moves, and the locking part 311 on the second locking member 310 disengages from the first locking member 220 (see reference). Figure 13 (as shown); drive the second locking member 310 relative to the first locking member 220 (along...) Figure 13 The second locking member 310 moves in the Y direction (as indicated by the middle arrow), and the locking part 311 on the second locking member 310 abuts against the first locking member 220 (see reference). Figure 12 (As shown).

[0074] It should be noted that the locking part 311 can be a hook, and an inclined surface can be provided on the first locking member 220. The handle 300 is positioned relative to the hard drive frame 200 (along...). Figure 4When the hook is rotated (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow + W), the inclined surface of the hook contacts the inclined surface of the first locking member 220. The first locking member 220 can push the locking part 311 to move, and at the same time drive the elastic member 400 to compress. When the hook jumps over the inclined surface of the first locking member 220, the second locking member 310 is reset to the initial state under the force of the elastic member 400. The locking part 311 abuts against the first locking member 220, and the handle 300 is locked on the hard disk frame 200.

[0075] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 10 to 12 As shown, a first through hole 320 is provided on the handle 300, and the locking part 311 extends out of the handle 300 through the first through hole 320 to abut against the first locking member 220.

[0076] In practice, the body of the second locking member 310 can be located above the handle 300. By providing a first through hole 320 on the handle 300, the locking part 311 on the second locking member 310 can pass through the first through hole 320 and reach below the handle 300. This allows the user to more easily drive the second locking member 310 to move, so that the locking part 311 abuts or disengages from the first locking member 220 located below the handle 300. This makes the locking and unlocking operations more intuitive to understand and perform, reducing the possibility of misoperation. It provides a better user experience, making the operation smoother and more natural.

[0077] It should be noted that the length of the first through hole 320 is greater than the length of the locking part 311. The first through hole 320 provides moving space for the locking part 311 so that the second locking member 310 can move relative to the handle 300.

[0078] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the chassis structure also includes an elastic element 400, and the second locking element 310 also has a mounting part 312, with one end of the elastic element 400 sleeved on the mounting part 312.

[0079] The handle 300 is provided with a receiving groove 330, which is connected to the first through hole 320. The mounting part 312 and the elastic member 400 are both located in the receiving groove 330, and the other end of the elastic member 400 abuts against the groove wall of the receiving groove 330.

[0080] Understandably, one end of the elastic element 400 is fitted onto the mounting portion 312 of the second locking element 310, and the other end abuts against the groove wall of the receiving groove 330. Since the elastic element 400 can undergo elastic deformation when subjected to external force, when the user applies external force to push or pull the second locking element 310, the elastic element 400 is compressed, storing energy, thereby causing the second locking element 310 to move, and the locking portion 311 disengages from the first locking portion 311. The elastic element 400 also provides a restoring force for the second locking element 310. When the external force is released, the restoring force of the elastic element 400 pushes the second locking element 310 back to its initial position, ensuring the reliability of the second locking element 310.

[0081] For example, the elastic element 400 can be a spring or other elastic component, and the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on it.

[0082] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the handle 300 is provided with at least one first engaging portion 340, and the second locking member 310 is provided with at least one second engaging portion 313, which engages with the first engaging portion 340.

[0083] Specifically, the first locking part 340 and the second locking part 313 are engaged with each other, which can connect the second locking member 310 to the handle 300, prevent the second locking member 310 from falling off, and improve the reliability of the second locking member 310.

[0084] For example, the number of the first latching portion 340 and the second latching portion 313 can be one, two, or more than two, as long as each second latching portion 313 corresponds one-to-one with each first latching portion 340. This application embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0085] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 9 to 11 As shown, the handle 300 is also provided with at least one second through hole 350, and the second snap-fit ​​part 313 is snapped into the first snap-fit ​​part 340 through the second through hole 350.

[0086] Understandably, by providing a second through hole 350 on the handle 300, the second snap-fit ​​portion 313 can extend from one side of the handle 300 to the other side and snap-fit ​​with the first snap-fit ​​portion 340, which helps to optimize the internal space layout of the handle 300, achieves the snap-fit ​​function without increasing the overall thickness of the handle 300, and improves the compactness of the structure.

[0087] It should be noted that the length of the second through hole 350 is greater than the length of the second latching part 313. The second through hole 350 provides moving space for the second latching part 313 so that the second locking member 310 can move relative to the handle 300.

[0088] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the box body 100 is provided with a sliding groove 110, and the handle 300 is provided with a connector 360, which is slidably connected to the box body 100 via the sliding groove 110.

[0089] Specifically, the slide 110 provides a fixed path for the handle 300, allowing the handle 300 to slide without detaching from the housing 100, thereby enabling the handle 300 to rotate relative to the hard drive frame 200 and drive the hard drive frame 200 to rotate relative to the housing 100.

[0090] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, a stop 111 is provided in the slide groove 110. The stop 111 is configured to abut against the connector 360 when the mounting opening 210 is exposed, so as to prevent the connector 360 from sliding relative to the slide groove 110.

[0091] Understandably, when the mounting port 210 is exposed, that is, when the mounting port 210 and the enclosure 100 form an angle, the stop part 111 abuts against the connector 360, which allows the hard disk frame 200 to be in a suspended state, thereby making it easy to remove the hard disk 10 from the mounting port 210, and making it convenient for users to install or maintain the hard disk 10.

[0092] Specifically, when the handle 300 is unlocked to the hard drive frame 200, grasp the handle 300 and lift it upwards. The handle 300 relative to the hard drive frame 200 (along...) Figure 1 Rotate in the direction indicated by the middle arrow (W direction), and the connector 360 on the handle 300 is relative to the slide groove 110 on the housing 100 (along the direction indicated by the middle arrow). Figure 3 Slide the handle 300 (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow + X) relative to the chassis 100 (along the X direction). Figure 1 Rotate in the +W direction (as indicated by the middle arrow) until the mounting opening 210 is exposed. At this point, the connector 360 slides to the rear of the stop 111 (refer to...). Figure 6 As shown), the weight of the hard disk frame 200 acts on the connector 360 through the handle 300, causing the connector 360 to move forward (as shown). Figure 3 The force component (in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow) is countered by the stop 111 at the front of the connector 360, allowing the entire hard drive frame 200 to remain suspended at a certain angle. This allows the hard drive 10 to be easily removed from the hard drive frame 200. It should be noted that when the mounting opening 210 is exposed, care should be taken to avoid structural components such as the fan compartment at the front of the hard drive frame 200 during the removal of the hard drive 10 from the mounting opening 210 to prevent interference.

[0093] Pulling the handle 300 relative to the hard drive frame 200 (along) Figure 4 When rotated (in the direction indicated by the middle arrow + W), the connector 360 on the handle 300 relative to the slide groove 110 on the housing 100 (along the... Figure 3 Slide the handle 300 (in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow) relative to the chassis 100 (along the X direction). Figure 1 As indicated by the middle arrow (in the W direction), the connecting piece 360 ​​on the handle 300 moves upward along the tail end of the slide groove 110 due to the lever action, until the connecting piece 360 ​​moves onto the stop part 111, at which point no more upward force is applied to the handle 300. At this point, under the action of the hard disk frame 200's own weight, it drives the handle 300 to move downward together. When the connecting piece 360 ​​disengages from the stop part 111, the connecting piece 360 ​​will continue to move forward (along the W direction) under the influence of the hard disk frame 200's own weight. Figure 6 Slide the hard drive frame 200 (in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow) until the hard drive frame 200 is parallel to the enclosure 100.

[0094] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the hard disk frame 200 has a first connecting part 230, and the housing 100 has a second connecting part 120. The first connecting part 230 and the second connecting part 120 are rotatably connected.

[0095] Understandably, the first connecting part 230 and the second connecting part 120 are rotatably connected so that the hard disk frame 200 can rotate around the connecting point, thereby allowing the hard disk frame 200 to be angled within the enclosure 100 to facilitate the installation, removal and maintenance of the hard disk 10.

[0096] For example, the first connecting part 230 can be a retractable pin shaft, and the second connecting part 120 can be a through hole, in which the retractable pin shaft can be inserted.

[0097] It should be noted that (refer to) Figure 14 (As shown) With the hard drive frame 200 in the closed state, it is installed into the enclosure 100 from top to bottom. First, the connector 360 on the handle 300 can be inserted into the slide groove 110 of the enclosure 100, and then the drive frame can be installed along the slide groove 110 (…). Figure 1 Move the drive frame 200 (in the X direction as indicated by the middle arrow) to the frontmost position, then insert the retractable pin hinge on the drive frame 200 into the through hole in the housing 100 to complete the installation of the drive frame 200 (refer to...). Figure 1 As shown in the image, it is easy to operate and improves installation efficiency.

[0098] Secondly, this application provides a server, including a server body and the chassis structure provided in the first aspect disposed on the server body.

[0099] The specific structure and operation of the chassis have been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0100] Those skilled in the art will understand that the chassis structure and server provided in this application include a chassis 100, a hard drive frame 200, and a handle 300. The hard drive frame 200 is rotatably disposed within the chassis 100 and has at least one mounting port 210 for accommodating and installing a hard drive 10 through the mounting port 210. The handle 300 is rotatably disposed on the hard drive frame 200 and is slidably connected to the chassis 100. The handle 300 has a locked state and an unlocked state. In the locked state, the handle 300 is connected to the hard drive frame 200 and locked onto the hard drive frame 200. The handle 300 cannot drive the hard drive frame 200 to rotate, and the hard drive frame 200 can be stably fixed within the chassis 100. Furthermore, the mounting port 210 is hidden within the chassis 100, preventing the hard drive 10 from detaching from the chassis 100 and improving security. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the hard drive 10, the handle 300 is in the unlocked state. At this time, part of the handle 300 is disconnected from the hard drive frame 200. The handle 300 can rotate relative to the hard drive frame 200, and drive the hard drive frame 200 to rotate relative to the housing 100 to expose the installation port 210, so as to facilitate the removal of the hard drive 10 from the installation port 210. The operation is convenient and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is improved.
