Description

Server hard drive array cooling rack Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of information technology, specifically relating to server hard disk array heat dissipation racks. Background Technology

[0002] In data centers and server equipment, the stable operation of hard drive arrays places high demands on the cooling system. Traditional hard drive array cooling racks mostly use a fixed installation structure, with non-adjustable spacing between hard drives, resulting in uneven airflow distribution, easily forming localized hotspots, and affecting cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the installation and removal of hard drives is complex and inconvenient to maintain, increasing operational costs. Therefore, there is a need for a server hard drive array cooling rack with a reasonable structure, good cooling performance, and easy maintenance to meet the ever-increasing demands for data storage and efficient management.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional server hard drive array cooling racks are usually designed for a specific size or number of hard drives, which may not be able to adapt to the installation needs of hard drives of different sizes and numbers. When the installation is relatively dense, it may cause some areas to overheat, resulting in a decrease in hard drive performance. In addition, when replacing or repairing hard drives, the traditional fixed installation method often requires a long time to disassemble and reinstall, increasing maintenance time. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a server hard disk array heat dissipation rack, which aims to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0028] Example

[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, an embodiment of the present invention is provided, which includes a server hard disk array cooling rack.

[0030] The support mechanism 100 includes a fixed plate 101 and a fixed frame 102 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed plate 101;

[0031] The spacing adjustment mechanism 200 includes a motor 201 adapted to be installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 102, a connecting rod 202 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 201 via a coupling, an arc-shaped guide groove 203 formed on the outer surface of the connecting rod 202, positioning rods 204 fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the fixed frame 102, a slider 205 slidably connected to the outer surface of the positioning rods 204, a ball bearing 206 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slider 205 and used in conjunction with the arc-shaped guide groove 203, and a quick-release assembly 207 provided on the outer surface of the slider 205 for disassembling the hard disk body S;

[0032] The quick-release assembly 207 includes a fixing block 207a fixedly connected to the slider 205, a positioning block 207b fixedly installed on the inner surface of the fixing block 207a, a spring 207c fixedly connected to both sides of the outer surface of the positioning block 207b, and a guide rod 207d fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 207c.

[0033] Multiple sets of sliders 205 are symmetrically arranged. When the motor 201 runs, it drives the connecting rod 202 to rotate. During the rotation, the connecting rod 202 drives the arc-shaped guide groove 203 on its surface to rotate synchronously. When rotating, the arc-shaped guide groove 203 forms a sliding contact with the ball 206. Through the rolling action of the ball 206, the slider 205 is pushed to slide along the outer surface of the positioning rod 204, thereby realizing the automatic adjustment function of the spacing between multiple sets of sliders 205.

[0034] Specifically, the quick-release assembly 207 also includes a guide groove 207e formed on the inner surface of the fixing block 207a and used in conjunction with the guide rod 207d, a limiting rod 207f fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the guide rod 207d, a limiting groove 207g formed on both sides of the outer surface of the fixing block 207a and used in conjunction with the limiting rod 207f, and an installation part 207h for fixing the hard drive body S.

[0035] Furthermore, the mounting component 207h includes a mounting block 207h-1 that is attached to the surface of the fixing block 207a, and a limiting block 207h-2 that is fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the mounting block 207h-1 and used in conjunction with the limiting rod 207f.

[0036] When the hard drive body S needs to be disassembled for maintenance, the operator presses the guide rods 207d on both sides of the fixing block 207a. The guide rods 207d drive the limiting rods 207f to move and apply a compressive force to the spring 207c, causing the limiting rods 207f to slide from one end to the other along the limiting groove 207g, thereby releasing the limiting state from the limiting block 207h-2. At this time, the mounting block 207h-1 can be quickly disassembled, which is convenient for maintenance or replacement of the hard drive body S.

[0037] Furthermore, the connecting rod 202 passes through the fixed frame 102, and a bearing sleeve for rotation is fixedly installed at the point where the connecting rod 202 passes through the fixed frame 102.

[0038] Furthermore, the inner surface of the arc-shaped guide groove 203 slides in contact with the outer surface of the ball 206, and the outer surface of the positioning rod 204 slides in contact with the inner surface of the slider 205.

[0039] Preferably, the outer surface of the guide rod 207d slides in contact with the inner surface of the guide groove 207e, and the outer surface of the limiting rod 207f slides in contact with the inner surface of the limiting groove 207g.

[0040] It should be noted that the surface of the mounting block 207h-1 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove, and the limiting block 207h-2 is in contact with the surface of the limiting rod 207f.

[0041] In use, when it is necessary to adjust the installation spacing of the hard drive bodies S according to their number or size for heat dissipation, the motor 201 set on the outer surface of the fixed frame 102 is started. The motor 201 drives the connecting rod 202 to rotate through the coupling. The connecting rod 202 has an arc-shaped guide groove 203, which rotates synchronously with the connecting rod 202 and forms a sliding contact with the ball bearing 206. The ball bearing 206 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slider 205, and the slider 205 is slidably connected to the positioning rod 204. The positioning rod 204 is fixedly installed on both sides of the fixed frame 102. As the arc-shaped guide groove 203 rotates, the ball bearing 206 is guided and pushes the slider 205 to slide along the positioning rod 204. Multiple sets of symmetrically arranged... The slider 205 moves synchronously during this process, enabling the adjustment of the spacing between multiple hard drive bodies S, facilitating rapid heat dissipation. When the hard drive body S needs to be repaired or replaced, the operator only needs to press the guide rods 207d on both sides of the fixing block 207a. The guide rods 207d drive the limiting rods 207f to move inward into the limiting groove 207g, and in the process, compress the spring 207c, causing the limiting rods 207f to slide from one end of the limiting groove 207g to the other end, thereby releasing the limiting state from the limiting block 207h-2. At this time, the mounting block 207h-1 can be quickly removed from the fixing block 207a, completing the disassembly process of the hard drive body S, which is convenient for maintenance or replacement operations.

[0042] In summary, by adopting an adjustable-spacing slider 205 design, and using a motor 201 to drive the connecting rod 202 and its arc-shaped guide groove 203 to rotate, the slider 205 is pushed along the positioning rod 204 by the ball bearing 206. This not only flexibly adapts to the installation needs of hard drives of different sizes and quantities, but also ensures that each hard drive receives adequate cooling air, effectively avoiding local overheating. In addition, with the cooperation of the components of the quick-release assembly 207, the installation and removal of the hard drive body S can be completed quickly, significantly reducing maintenance time.
