DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein with reference to the attached drawings. In the following description, the same numbers are used to indicate the same or similar components. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application.

The embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0048] A server case is a case structure for installing, protecting and running server hardware in a data center and a cloud computing environment. The server case is internally provided with a hard disk, which serves as a data storage unit and is responsible for storing, reading and processing a large amount of data to ensure efficient operation of the server.

[0049] In the working process, the hard disk of the server generates a large amount of heat, and if the heat is not dissipated in time, the hardware performance may be reduced, data may be lost, and even the hardware may be damaged. Therefore, in the related art, a fan support and a fan are usually arranged inside the server case, the position and angle of the fan are adjusted, and the fan airflow is guided to directly flow through the hard disk to take away the heat generated by the hard disk.

[0050] However, due to the complex structure and compact layout inside the server case, directly arranging the fan support aggravates the crowded degree inside the case, and the installation difficulty is high.

[0051] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a support structure and a server, wherein the support structure comprises a base, the base is arranged in the case, the base has a first accommodating cavity, the first accommodating cavity is used for mounting a hard disk; a fixing member is connected with the base, the fixing member is used for mounting a fan, and the fan is arranged towards the hard disk; a support member is arranged in the case, and the support member is connected with the base and the case respectively. By integrating the hard disk and the fan on the base and the fixing member, the space required for separately mounting the hard disk and the fan is reduced, the internal space of the case is effectively utilized, the space utilization is improved under the premise of ensuring the heat dissipation of the hard disk, and the installation difficulty is reduced.

[0052] The technical solutions of the present application and how the technical solutions of the present application solve the above technical problems will be described in detail in specific embodiments. The following 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 the present application will be described below with reference to the drawings.

[0053] Figure 1 An exploded schematic view of the support structure provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 1, Figure 2 A structural schematic view of the support structure provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 2, Figure 3 A structural schematic view of the support structure provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 3, Figure 2 A structural schematic view of the support structure provided by the present application is shown in FIG. 4. Figures 1 to 3 .

[0054] In a first aspect, the embodiment provides a support structure, comprising a base 100, the base 100 is arranged in a case, the base 100 has a first accommodating cavity 130, the first accommodating cavity 130 is used for mounting a hard disk 10; a fixing member 200 is connected with the base 100, the fixing member 200 is used for mounting a fan 20, and the fan 20 is arranged towards the hard disk 10; a support member 300 is arranged in the case, and the support member 300 is connected with the base 100 and the case respectively.

[0055] Specifically, server chassis typically house numerous components, such as motherboards, processors, memory, hard drives 10, power supplies, heatsinks, fans 20, and various expansion cards. This dense arrangement of components results in significant internal space complexity. Therefore, when using fan 20 brackets for individual fan 20 installations in related technologies, additional installation locations need to be found, component layouts adjusted, and airflow channels considered. This further exacerbates the congestion inside the chassis, increases installation difficulty, and may affect overall heat dissipation and system stability.

[0056] To address the aforementioned issues, this embodiment provides a bracket structure comprising a base 100 and a fixing member 200 connected to each other. The base 100 has a first receiving cavity 130 for accommodating the hard disk 10, and the fixing member 200 is used to install the fan 20, thereby integrating the brackets for the hard disk 10 and the fan 20, reducing the space occupied by the hard disk 10 and the fan 20 when they are installed separately, and improving the utilization rate of the space inside the chassis.

[0057] In one optional embodiment, the base 100 and the fastener 200 can be manufactured using an integral molding process, so that operators do not need to perform additional installation work on the fastener 200 and the base 100 during installation, thereby improving the convenience of installation and the stability of the overall structure.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 100 is installed inside the chassis via a support member 300, wherein the support member 300 is disposed below the base 100 to provide support for the base 100 and ensure the stability of the hard drive 10 and the fan 20.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, there are two support members 300, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the base 100 to distribute the load and ensure the stability of the support.

[0060] In addition, it should be noted that, in order to further enhance the stability of the connection between the support structure and the chassis, screws, bolts or other connecting parts 140 can be used to connect the support 300 to the base 100 and the support 300 to the chassis, thereby enhancing the tightness of the connection and avoiding loosening or falling off due to external impacts and vibrations.

[0061] By adopting the bracket structure provided in this embodiment, the hard drive 10 and the fan 20 are integrated on the base 100 and the fixing component 200, which reduces the space required to install the hard drive 10 and the fan 20 separately, effectively utilizes the internal space of the chassis, improves the space utilization rate while ensuring the heat dissipation of the hard drive 10, and reduces the installation difficulty.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the bracket structure further includes a locking member 700, and the fixing member 200 has a mounting hole 220, through which the locking member 700 passes to connect the fixing member 200 to the fan 20.

[0063] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bracket structure also includes a locking member 700. The fixing member 200 has a mounting hole 220. The fixing member 200 is connected to the fan 20 by the locking member 700 to ensure the stability of the connection between the fan 20 and the fixing member 200 and to prevent the fan 20 from falling off.

[0064] In one optional embodiment, the locking element 700 is a screw, which is screwed onto the fan 20 through the mounting hole 220 to secure the fan 20.

[0065] To further ensure the stability of the fan 20, in this embodiment, there are four mounting holes 220, which are distributed at the four corners of the fastener 200, thereby achieving four-point fixation of the fan 20.

[0066] Furthermore, it should be noted that operators can adapt the specific structure of the locking component 700 according to actual needs, and are not limited to screws, such as bolts, rivets, etc. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the base 100 includes a base plate 110 for mounting the hard disk 10, the base plate 110 being connected to the support member 300; two side plates 120 being disposed opposite to each other on the base plate 110, a first receiving cavity 130 being formed between the side plates 120 and the base plate 110, and at least one first mounting groove 121 being provided on the side plates 120 for engaging with the elastic portion of the hard disk 10.

[0068] Specifically, in this embodiment, the hard disk 10 has at least one elastic part. The elastic part is disposed on the hard disk 10. During the installation of the hard disk 10, when the hard disk 10 is pushed into the first receiving cavity 130, the elastic part is squeezed by the side plate 120 and thus generates elastic contraction. As the hard disk 10 is gradually put into place, the elastic part will gradually align with the first mounting groove 121 on the side plate 120. Once the hard disk 10 is fully installed, the elastic part will extend and lock into the first mounting groove 121 by its own elastic restoring force, thereby realizing a stable connection between the hard disk 10 and the base 100.

[0069] The elastic part can be a spring sheet or an elastic buckle, etc. The operator can choose the specific structure of the elastic part according to the actual application. This embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, there are two elastic parts, which are disposed opposite to each other on both sides of the hard disk 10, thereby corresponding to the two side plates 120 to ensure the stability of the hard disk 10 during installation.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the number of elastic parts can also be four. The four elastic parts are arranged in pairs on both sides of the hard disk 10. Correspondingly, the number of first mounting slots 121 opened on each side plate 120 is two. Each first mounting slot 121 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with each elastic part, thereby further improving the stability of the hard disk 10 installation through multi-point fixing.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, the base 100 further includes a connector 140, which is connected to the base plate 110 and the fixing member 200 respectively, and a second receiving cavity 210 for accommodating the fan 20 is formed between the connector 140 and the fixing member 200.

[0073] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connector 140 is connected to the base 100 and the fixing member 200 respectively. The fan 20 is disposed on the connector 140 and connected to the fixing member 200, thereby providing support for the fan 20 through the configuration of the connector 140, ensuring the stability of the fan 20.

[0074] In an optional embodiment, the connector 140, the base 100, and the fastener 200 are manufactured using an integral molding process to ensure the stability of the entire support structure.

[0075] To improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard disk 10, in this embodiment, there are two fans 20 and two corresponding fasteners 200. The two fasteners 200 are respectively connected to the connectors 140, and the two fans 20 are respectively disposed between the two fasteners 200 and the connectors 140.

[0076] It should also be noted that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the number of fans 20 and fixtures 200. The number of fans 20 and fixtures 200 can be selected adaptively according to actual needs.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, there are two fans 20 and one fixing member 200. The two fans 20 are spaced apart on the connector 140 and connected to the fixing member 200.

[0078] In an optional embodiment, the support structure further includes at least one divider 400 disposed on the base 100 to divide the first receiving cavity 130 into at least two sub-receiving cavities 131 for accommodating at least two hard disks 10.

[0079] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support structure further includes a partition 400, which is disposed on the base 100, thereby dividing the first receiving cavity 130 into two sub-receiving cavities 131. When there are multiple hard disks 10, each hard disk 10 can be disposed in one of the two sub-receiving cavities 131.

[0080] In one exemplary embodiment, there are two hard disks 10, which are respectively disposed in two sub-accommodating cavities 131.

[0081] In one exemplary embodiment, there are four hard disks 10, which are arranged in pairs in two sub-accommodating cavities 131, wherein each pair of hard disks 10 is installed by stacking them vertically.

[0082] The number of partitions 400 can be multiple, and the operator can adapt to select the number of partitions 400 to divide the first receiving cavity 130 into multiple sub-receiving cavities 131, thereby realizing the installation of multiple hard disks 10.

[0083] In an optional embodiment, the separator 400 is provided with a second mounting groove 410 for engaging with the elastic part.

[0084] Specifically, in this embodiment, the partition 400 is provided with a second mounting groove 410. When the hard disk 10 is placed in the sub-accommodating cavity 131, the elastic part on one side of the hard disk 10 engages with the first mounting groove 121 on the side plate 120, and the elastic part on the other side engages with the second mounting groove 410 on the partition 400, so as to ensure the stability of the hard disk 10 installation.

[0085] It should be noted that there can be multiple second mounting slots 410. For example, there are four second mounting slots 410, which are arranged in pairs with intervals between them. The two second mounting slots 410 in each pair are arranged vertically to accommodate hard drives 10 stacked vertically.

[0086] Specifically, when there are four second mounting slots 410, there are four hard disks 10. Two hard disks 10 in one sub-accommodating cavity 131 are respectively engaged with two second mounting slots 410 arranged vertically in one group, and two hard disks 10 in another sub-accommodating cavity 131 are respectively engaged with two second mounting slots 410 arranged vertically in another group, so as to ensure the stability of each hard disk 10.

[0087] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the partition 400 and the base plate 110 are connected by screws. In other embodiments, the connection method between the partition 400 and the base plate 110 can be adapted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0088] In an alternative embodiment, the spacer 400 may be formed by connecting two sub-spacers, wherein the second mounting groove 410 is formed on the sub-spacer.

[0089] In an optional embodiment, the support structure further includes a cover plate 500, which covers the base 100 to seal the first receiving cavity 130.

[0090] Specifically, during actual use of the computer case, external dust can enter the interior through ventilation holes, air vents, or other tiny gaps. Once inside, dust gradually accumulates inside the case, such as on the surface of the hard drive 10. When dust settles on the surface of the hard drive 10, it hinders heat dissipation, affecting heat dissipation efficiency and consequently impacting the performance and lifespan of the hard drive 10.

[0091] To solve the above problems, the bracket structure in this embodiment also includes a cover plate 500. After the hard disk 10 is installed, by setting the cover plate 500 on the base 100, the first receiving cavity 130 can be sealed, preventing dust from accumulating on the surface of the hard disk 10 and ensuring the normal operation of the hard disk 10.

[0092] It should also be noted that this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on the connection method between the cover plate 500 and the base 100. The connection method between the cover plate 500 and the base 100 can be adaptively selected according to actual needs. For example, the cover plate 500 and the base 100 are connected by screws.

[0093] In an optional embodiment, the bracket structure further includes a backplate 600 disposed on the base 100 and located between the hard disk 10 and the fan 20. The backplate 600 has at least one first mounting portion 610, and the cover plate 500 has at least one second mounting portion 510. The first mounting portion 610 and the second mounting portion 510 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0094] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support structure also includes a back plate 600, which is disposed on the base 100 and located between the hard disk 10 and the fan 20. Thus, when installing the hard disk 10, the hard disk 10 can be directly pushed into the first receiving cavity 130 so that the hard disk 10 abuts against the back plate 600, thereby limiting the pushing distance of the hard disk 10, so that the operator can judge whether the hard disk 10 is installed in place, and avoiding the problem of the hard disk 10 not being installed in place.

[0095] Specifically, in this embodiment, the back plate 600 has at least one first mounting hole 220, and the cover plate 500 has at least one second mounting part 510. The first mounting part 610 and the second mounting part 510 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence to realize the connection between the back plate 600 and the cover plate 500 and improve the stability of the cover plate 500.

[0096] In one optional embodiment, the first mounting part 610 is a through groove, the second mounting part 510 is a protruding structure, and there are three of each of the first mounting parts 610 and the second mounting part 510. Each first mounting part 610 is spaced apart on the back plate 600, and each second mounting part 510 is correspondingly arranged with each first mounting part 610. The cover plate 500 is fixed by extending the protruding structure into the through groove.

[0097] In another optional embodiment, the first mounting part 610 is a through groove, the second mounting part 510 is a spring piece, and there are three of each of the first mounting parts 610 and the second mounting part 510. Each first mounting part 610 is spaced apart on the back plate 600, and each second mounting part 510 is correspondingly arranged with each first mounting part 610. The second mounting part 510 can extend into and engage with the through groove, thereby ensuring the stability of the cover plate 500.

[0098] Furthermore, it should be noted that operators can adapt the structure and quantity of the first mounting part 610 and the second mounting part 510 according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0099] In an optional embodiment, the base 100 has at least one third mounting portion 150, and the back plate 600 has at least one fourth mounting portion 620, with the third mounting portion 150 and the fourth mounting portion 620 being configured in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0100] Specifically, in this embodiment, the back plate 600 and the base 100 are connected by a third mounting portion 150 and a fourth mounting portion 620. The operator can adapt the structure of the third mounting portion 150 and the fourth mounting portion 620 according to actual needs to achieve the connection between the back plate 600 and the base 100.

[0101] In an exemplary embodiment, the third mounting part 150 is a mounting base with a threaded hole, and the fourth mounting part 620 is a threaded hole. The connection between the back plate 600 and the base 100 is achieved by passing screws through the threaded holes on the fourth mounting part 620 and the third mounting part 150 in sequence.

[0102] In another exemplary embodiment, the third mounting part 150 is a mounting base with a through hole, and the fourth mounting part 620 is a locking block that matches the through hole. The connection between the back plate 600 and the base 100 is achieved by locking the locking block into the through hole.

[0103] It should also be noted that there can be multiple third mounting parts 150, and correspondingly, there can be multiple fourth mounting parts 620. For example, there are two third mounting parts 150, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the base 100, and there are two fourth mounting parts 620, which are respectively disposed corresponding to the two third mounting parts 150.

[0104] In an optional embodiment, at least one heat dissipation hole 630 is provided on the back plate 600, and the heat dissipation hole 630 is connected to the first receiving cavity 130.

[0105] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the backplate 600 is disposed between the hard disk 10 and the fan 20, in order to avoid the backplate 600 blocking the airflow of the fan 20, the backplate 600 in this embodiment is provided with heat dissipation holes 630, so that the airflow of the fan 20 can be blown into the first receiving cavity 130 through the heat dissipation holes 630 to remove the heat from the surface of the hard disk 10.

[0106] The operator can adapt the size and number of heat dissipation holes 630 according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0107] Secondly, this embodiment also provides a server, including a chassis and a support structure disposed within the chassis as described in any of the first aspects.

[0108] The support structure has been described in the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0109] The server provided in this embodiment includes and is disposed within a chassis as described in any of the first aspects. The chassis structure includes a base 100, which is disposed within the chassis and has a first receiving cavity 130 for mounting a hard disk 10; a fixing member 200 connected to the base 100 and used to mount a fan 20, the fan 20 facing the hard disk 10; and a support member 300 disposed within the chassis and connected to both the base 100 and the chassis. By integrating the hard disk 10 and the fan 20 onto the base 100 and the fixing member 200, the space required for separate installation of the hard disk 10 and the fan 20 is reduced, effectively utilizing the internal space of the chassis. While ensuring heat dissipation of the hard disk 10, space utilization is improved, and installation difficulty is reduced.

[0110] The various embodiments or implementation methods described in this specification are presented in a progressive manner. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments, and the same or similar parts between the embodiments can be referred to each other.

[0111] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0112] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.

[0113] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this disclosure should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).

[0114] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. The device may have other orientations (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptive terms used herein may be interpreted accordingly.

[0115] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application.
