Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer accessories technology, specifically a high-capacity scalable storage array device. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the internet, large amounts of data are frequently encountered. Since the computer's own capacity is limited, an external disk array enclosure is often used. The array enclosure has multiple hard drive bays inside, which can hold disks. The array enclosure is connected to the computer via a data cable, thereby storing a large amount of data on each disk and expanding the computer's storage.

[0003] Array cabinets generate a lot of heat during use, so ventilation holes are provided at one end of the outer wall of the cabinet, and small fans are installed inside the cabinet to cool the disks. During long-term use, a lot of dust will accumulate around the ventilation holes, and dust particles will also adhere to the area around the ventilation holes. The usual cleaning method is to use a towel or brush to directly scrape the cabinet panel with ventilation holes. This method will cause the dust to fly around, and at the same time, the dust particles will be squeezed and enter the array cabinet through the ventilation holes, adhering to the outer wall of the disks and affecting the heat dissipation of the disks.

[0004] Therefore, this application provides a high-capacity scalable storage array device to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a large-capacity scalable storage array device, aiming to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the use of towels or brushes to directly scrape the cabinet panels with ventilation holes when cleaning the ventilation holes, causing dust to fly everywhere. At the same time, the scraping process will compress the dust and lint, which will enter the array cabinet through the ventilation holes and adhere to the outer wall of the disk, affecting the heat dissipation of the disk.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution: a large-capacity scalable storage array device, including a hard disk tray, an array cabinet sleeved on the outside of the hard disk tray for connecting and installing multiple hard disk trays, and a heat dissipation hole provided on the end of the array cabinet away from the hard disk tray for disk heat dissipation.

[0007] To facilitate the cleaning of dust and lint: a cleaning component for cleaning dust and lint is provided at one end of the array cabinet where the heat dissipation hole is located, and a driving component for driving the cleaning component to move vertically is provided at one end of the cleaning component; the cleaning component includes an electrostatic duster located at one end of the array cabinet, a shovel at the bottom of the electrostatic duster for removing lint, and a linkage component located on the side of the electrostatic duster away from the array cabinet for driving the electrostatic duster and the shovel to move synchronously. In use, rotating the threaded rod clockwise causes it to move the movable block closer to the limiting bearing. The movable block, through the insert block, moves the linkage rod synchronously. The insert block then moves the shovel to remove dust adhering to the outer wall of the array cabinet. The flying dust is pierced by the pointed cone and prevented from falling by the barbs, thus reducing dust flying everywhere. During electrostatic cleaning, the electrostatic duster presses the dust into the interior of the array cabinet. As the linkage rod moves, it moves the sleeve rod, which in turn moves the bag. The bag then moves the electrostatic duster to electrostatically adsorb the dust on the outer wall of the array cabinet with the ventilation holes, preventing dust from flying.

[0008] Preferably, to facilitate the installation of the electrostatic duster and the linkage: a sleeve is fixedly connected to the side of the electrostatic duster away from the array cabinet; the linkage includes a connecting rod for inserting inside the sleeve; one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a linkage rod for installing the scraping component; and one end of the linkage rod is provided with a plug for connecting to the drive assembly. By fitting the sleeve onto the outer wall of the connecting rod, the electrostatic duster can be quickly installed.

[0009] Preferably, to prevent dust from entering the interior of the array cabinet: the shovel includes a shovel plate for shoveling dust and a pointed cone fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shovel plate for inserting into the interior of the dust. Before performing the electrostatic dusting, the shovel plate first removes the dust from the outer wall of the array cabinet, and the pointed cone is inserted into the interior of the dust to prevent the dust from flying around.

[0010] Preferably, to prevent dust from slipping off the cone: the end of the cone away from the shovel plate is fixedly connected with a hook to limit dust from falling onto the barbs. The barbs, with their barbed design, prevent dust particles inserted outside the tip of the cone from slipping off the outside of the cone, thus limiting their movement.

[0011] Preferably, to facilitate the connection between the movable block and the insert block: the driving assembly includes a movable block for connecting to the insert block, a threaded rod inserted through one end of the movable block for driving the movable block to move vertically, and a mounting block disposed outside the movable block for mounting the movable block and the threaded rod. The movable block has a slot at one end facing the insert block, and a locking hole is formed at the top of the inner wall of the slot. The top of the insert block has a locking block for inserting into the locking hole. By inserting the insert block into the slot, the locking block is connected to the locking hole, enabling a quick connection between the insert block and the movable block.

[0012] Preferably, to ensure a stable connection between the moving block and the insert block: the insert block has an internal cavity, and the top of the inner wall of the cavity has an insertion hole. The locking block is inserted into the insertion hole, and a baffle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the locking block. An elastic block is provided at the bottom of the baffle. The restoring force of the elastic block constantly pushes the locking block, allowing the locking block to be stably inserted into the locking hole, thus maintaining a stable connection between the moving block and the insert block.

[0013] Preferably, to maintain the vertical linear movement of the moving block: a circular groove is formed at the end of the moving block away from the insert block, the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the circular groove, a moving groove for restricting the rotation of the moving block is formed at the top of the mounting block, and a limiting bearing is sleeved on the outer wall of the bottom of the threaded rod. When the threaded rod is rotated, the moving block cannot rotate due to the restriction of the moving groove, and can only move vertically along the moving groove.

[0014] This application, through the design of the cleaning and driving components, allows the scraper to remove dust and lint by rotating the threaded rod during the cleaning of the heat dissipation holes. The scraper then uses a pointed cone and barbs to fix the dust and lint in place, preventing it from flying around. The electrostatic duster then adsorbs and cleans the dust on the outer wall of the array cabinet, thus preventing the dust from flying around. At the same time, it also prevents the dust and lint from being squeezed into the interior of the array cabinet through the heat dissipation holes during the electrostatic duster's scraping.

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] This embodiment provides a large-capacity scalable storage array device, such as... Figure 1-9 As shown, the array device includes a hard disk tray 1, an array cabinet 2 fitted outside the hard disk tray 1 for connecting and installing multiple hard disk trays 1, and a heat dissipation hole 3 provided at the end of the array cabinet 2 away from the hard disk tray 1 for disk heat dissipation.

[0028] To facilitate the cleaning of dust and lint: a cleaning component 4 for cleaning dust and lint is provided at one end of the array cabinet 2 where the heat dissipation hole 3 is located, and a driving component 5 for driving the cleaning component 4 to move vertically is provided at one end of the cleaning component 4; the cleaning component 4 includes an electrostatic duster 41 located at one end of the array cabinet 2, a shovel 42 located at the bottom of the electrostatic duster 41 for removing lint, and a linkage 43 located on the side of the electrostatic duster 41 away from the array cabinet 2 for driving the electrostatic duster 41 and the shovel 42 to move synchronously. In use, rotating the threaded rod 52 clockwise causes it to move the moving block 51 closer to the limiting bearing 54. The moving block 51, through the insert block 433, moves the linkage rod 432 synchronously. The insert block 433 then moves the shovel plate 421 to remove dust adhering to the outer wall of the array cabinet 2. The flying dust is pierced by the pointed cone 422 and prevented from falling off by the barbs 423, thus reducing the dust from flying around. When the electrostatic duster 41 cleans, it presses the dust into the interior of the array cabinet 2. As the linkage rod 432 moves, it moves the sleeve rod 431 to move the cover 44. The cover 44 then moves the electrostatic duster 41 to electrostatically adsorb the dust on the outer wall of the array cabinet 2 where the heat dissipation holes 3 are located, preventing the dust from flying around.

[0029] Furthermore, the multi-bay disk array cabinet consists of multiple hard drive trays 1 and array cabinet 2. Multiple hard drive trays 1 are arranged in an array and inserted into the inside of the array cabinet 2. The hard drives are fixed inside the hard drive trays 1 with bolts. Multiple heat dissipation holes 3 are opened and located at one end of the fan inside the array cabinet 2 to dissipate heat from the hard drives inside the array cabinet 2. The array cabinet 2 is connected to the computer via a data cable to realize large-capacity expansion of the computer's memory.

[0030] Specifically, to facilitate the installation of the electrostatic duster 41 and the linkage component 43: a sleeve 44 is fixedly connected to the side of the electrostatic duster 41 away from the array cabinet 2; the linkage component 43 includes a connecting rod 431 for inserting inside the sleeve 44; one end of the connecting rod 431 is fixedly connected to a linkage rod 432 for installing the scraper 42; and one end of the linkage rod 432 is provided with an insert block 433 for connecting to the drive assembly 5. By fitting the sleeve 44 onto the outer wall of the connecting rod 431, the electrostatic duster 41 can be quickly installed. The electrostatic duster 41 is an existing electrostatic adsorption duster. The linkage rod 432 is an L-shaped rod. The contact part of the sleeve rod 431 and the linkage rod 432 is glued and fixed, leaving a gap between the sleeve rod 431 and the linkage rod 432, so that the bag 44 can be put on the outside of the sleeve rod 431. The part of the insert block 433 that contacts the linkage rod 432 is glued and fixed. The insert block 433 is located at the end of the linkage rod 432 away from the sleeve rod 431.

[0031] Specifically, to prevent dust from entering the interior of the array cabinet 2, the shovel 42 includes a shovel plate 421 for shoveling dust and a pointed cone 422 fixedly installed on the outer wall of the shovel plate 421 for inserting into the dust. Before the electrostatic duster 41 cleans, the shovel plate 421 first removes the dust from the outer wall of the array cabinet 2, and the pointed cone 422 inserts into the dust to prevent the dust from flying. The shovel plate 421 is an arc-shaped plate, and the top of the shovel plate 421 is bonded and fixed to the bottom of the linkage rod 432. The bottom of the shovel plate 421 is 1mm away from the outer wall of the array cabinet 2. Multiple pointed cones 422 are provided, and the multiple pointed cones 422 are distributed on the side of the shovel plate 421 away from the linkage rod 432. The pointed cones 422 are conical, and the tips of the pointed cones 422 are vertically downward.

[0032] More specifically, to prevent dust from slipping off the cone 422: the end of the cone 422 away from the shovel plate 421 is fixedly connected with a hook 423 to limit dust from falling onto the spike. The barbed spike 423, with its barb shape, prevents dust inserted into the outside of the cone 422 from slipping off. The barbed spike 423 is V-shaped and welded to the tip of the cone 422, forming a barb that makes it difficult for dust inserted into the cone 422 to fall off.

[0033] Specifically, to facilitate the connection between the movable block 51 and the insertion block 433: the driving assembly 5 includes a movable block 51 for connecting with the insertion block 433, a threaded rod 52 inserted through one end of the movable block 51 for driving the movable block 51 to move vertically, and a mounting block 53 disposed outside the movable block 51 for mounting the movable block 51 and the threaded rod 52. The movable block 51 has a slot at one end facing the insertion block 433, and a locking hole is formed at the top of the inner wall of the slot. The top of the insertion block 433 is provided with a locking block 434 for inserting into the locking hole. By inserting the insertion block 433 into the slot, and the locking block 434 interlocking with the locking hole, a quick connection between the insertion block 433 and the movable block 51 can be achieved. The size of the slot is adapted to the size of the insert 433, and the size of the locking block 434 is adapted to the size of the locking hole. By inserting the locking block 434 into the locking hole, the movement of the insert 433 in the slot is restricted, thereby completing the quick connection between the moving block 51 and the linkage 43.

[0034] More specifically, to ensure a stable connection between the moving block 51 and the insert block 433: the insert block 433 has an internal cavity, and the top of the inner wall of the cavity has an insertion hole. The locking block 434 is inserted into the insertion hole, and a baffle 435 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the locking block 434. An elastic block 436 is provided at the bottom end of the baffle 435. The restoring force of the elastic block 436 constantly pushes the locking block 434, allowing the locking block 434 to be stably inserted into the locking hole, thus maintaining a stable connection between the moving block 51 and the insert block 433. The size of the insertion hole corresponds to the size of the locking hole. The size of the baffle 435 is 1.2 times the size of the insertion hole. The baffle 435 is bonded and fixed to the locking block 434. The elastic block 436 is an elastic rubber block. The top and bottom ends of the elastic block 436 are bonded to the baffle 435 and the inner wall of the cavity, respectively. The elastic block 436 is always in a compressed state in the cavity, pushing the top end of the baffle 435 to fit tightly against the end of the cavity with the insertion hole, so that the baffle 435 can drive the locking block 434 to be stably inserted into the locking hole.

[0035] Specifically, to maintain the vertical linear movement of the moving block 51: a circular groove is formed at the end of the moving block 51 away from the insert block 433; the threaded rod 52 is threadedly connected to the circular groove; a moving groove for restricting the rotation of the moving block 51 is formed at the top of the mounting block 53; and a limiting bearing 54 is fitted on the outer wall of the bottom of the threaded rod 52. When the threaded rod 52 is rotated, the moving block 51 cannot rotate due to the restriction of the moving groove, and can only move vertically along the moving groove. The horizontal cross-section of the moving groove is T-shaped. The horizontal cross-section of the moving block 51 is the same as that of the moving groove. The inner wall of the circular groove is threaded and meshes with the thread on the outer wall of the threaded rod 52. Thus, by rotating the threaded rod 52, the moving block 51 is driven to move. The limiting bearing 54 adopts an existing ball bearing. The outer ring height of the limiting bearing 54 is higher than the inner ring height. The inner ring is welded and fixed to the outer wall at the bottom of the threaded rod 52. The bottom end of the outer ring is welded and fixed to the bottom end of the inner wall of the moving groove. Thus, under the restriction of the limiting bearing 54, the threaded rod 52 can only rotate.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
