Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chassis technology, and in particular to a plug-in structure and chassis that can simultaneously plug in and unplug hard drives and VPX cards. Background Technology

[0002] There are numerous existing VPX chassis models and varieties, with a wide range of functions. While existing VPX chassis contain VPX cards and hard drives, these need to be installed separately. This necessitates additional design considerations for the chassis, taking up space and resulting in a more complex structure. Furthermore, the separate installation process makes installation cumbersome, time-consuming, and relatively inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a plug-in structure that can simultaneously plug in and unplug hard drives and VPX cards, including a chassis base 1, a plug-in aid component 2, a guide rail component 3, a backplate component 4, and a VPX-hard drive integrated module 5.

[0034] The pull-out assembly 2, the guide rail assembly 3, and the backplate assembly 4 are all connected to the chassis base 1. The pull-out assembly 2 and the backplate assembly 4 are located at both ends of the guide rail assembly 3, and the pull-out assembly 2, the guide rail assembly 3, and the backplate assembly 4 can together enclose an installation space for the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 to be installed. The pull-out assembly 2 is provided with an opening for the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 to pass through.

[0035] During the installation of the VPX-hard disk module 5, the end of the VPX-hard disk module 5 closest to the back panel assembly 4 can pass through the pull-out aid assembly 2 and move toward the back panel assembly 4. During the movement, it can be movably connected to the guide rail assembly 3. When the VPX-hard disk module 5 is installed in place, it can be detachably connected to the pull-out aid assembly 2 and detachably connected to the back panel assembly 4.

[0036] During the disassembly process of the VPX-hard disk module 5, the VPX-hard disk module 5 can be disconnected from the detachable connection of the pull-out aid component 2 and the detachable connection of the backplate component 4, and move away from the backplate component 4 through its movable connection with the guide rail component 3, ultimately achieving complete separation from the plug-in structure.

[0037] The plug-in / plug-out structure, through the cooperation of the chassis base 1, the pull-out aid component 2, the guide rail component 3, and the backplate component 4, enables quick and stable installation and removal of the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5. Furthermore, by making the VPX board 51 and hard disk 52 into an integrated VPX-hard disk module 5 and allowing for easy assembly and disassembly between the plug-in / plug-out structure, the plug-in / plug-out of the VPX board 51 and hard disk 52 can be achieved simultaneously, making the overall structure simpler, effectively shortening the installation time, and improving efficiency.

[0038] As an optional implementation, the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 is provided with a first guide part 6 at one end near the back panel assembly 4, and a second guide part 7 is provided on the back panel assembly 4. When the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 is installed in place, the first guide part 6 can be detachably connected to the second guide part 7.

[0039] With this configuration, when the VPX-hard disk module 5 is connected to the backplane assembly 4, it can be guided by the first guide part 6 and the second guide part 7, which improves the installation accuracy and success rate, makes the installation smoother, and reduces the damage to the data interface caused by the VPX-hard disk module 5 and the backplane assembly 4 not being aligned during installation.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first guide part 6 is preferably a guide sleeve, and the second guide part 7 is preferably a guide pin. The number of guide sleeves and guide pins are the same and their positions correspond to each other. When the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 is installed in place, the guide sleeve and the guide pin form a guide docking. The guide docking structure formed by the guide sleeve and the guide pin is simpler and more practical.

[0041] As an optional implementation, the guide rail assembly 3 includes two guide rail brackets 31 and two guide rail strips 32. The two guide rail brackets 31 are connected to the chassis base 1. The connection is preferably a bolt connection, which makes the disassembly and assembly between the two more convenient and quick.

[0042] Each guide rail bracket 31 has a guide rail 32 connected to its inner side. The connection is preferably a bolt connection, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the two more convenient and quick. The VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 is movably connected to the two guide rails 32 respectively. During the installation process, the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 can slide relative to the two guide rails 32, thereby realizing movement.

[0043] As an optional implementation, a movable groove 321 is provided on the side of the guide rail 32 away from the guide rail bracket 31. Each of the two sides of the PCB board of the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 is slidably connected to a movable groove 321. This arrangement enables the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 to move smoothly during the installation process, which is conducive to a good and fast installation.

[0044] As an optional implementation, the backplate assembly 4 includes a backplate body 41, a backplate long bracket 42 and a backplate short bracket 43. One end of the backplate body 41 is connected to the backplate long bracket 42 and the other end is connected to the backplate short bracket 43. The connection is preferably a bolt connection, which makes disassembly and assembly more convenient and quick. The backplate long bracket 42 and the backplate short bracket 43 can support and fix the backplate body 41.

[0045] Both the long bracket 42 and the short bracket 43 of the back panel are connected to the chassis base 1. The connection here is preferably a bolt connection, which makes disassembly and assembly more convenient and quick.

[0046] When the VPX-hard disk module 5 is installed, it can be connected to the backplate body 41, and the second guide part 7 is set on the backplate body 41.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the VPX-hard disk integrated module 5 includes a VPX board 51 and a hard disk 52. The hard disk 52 is detachably connected to the VPX board 51. The connection is preferably a bolt connection, which makes disassembly and assembly more convenient and quick.

[0048] Both sides of the VPX board 51 away from the backplane assembly 4 are provided with card connectors 511, and correspondingly, both ends of the pull-out assembly 2 are provided with card slots 21 at the corresponding positions of each card connector 511.

[0049] With this configuration, when the VPX-hard disk module 5 is installed in place, the snap-fit ​​component 511 and the snap-fit ​​slot 21 form a snap-fit ​​connection, which makes it easier to install and remove, and facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the VPX-hard disk module 5.

[0050] As an optional implementation, the VPX board 51, the hard disk 52, and the backplane body 41 are all provided with data interfaces. The data interface on the VPX board 51 is connected to the data interface at the corresponding position on the backplane body 41, and the data interface on the hard disk 52 is connected to the data interface at the corresponding position on the backplane body 41.

[0051] This utility model also provides a chassis, including the above-mentioned plug-in structure that can simultaneously plug in and out hard drives and VPX cards. The chassis enables quick and stable installation and removal of the VPX-hard drive integrated module 5. By making the VPX card 51 and hard drive 52 into an integrated VPX-hard drive module 5 and allowing for detachment and reassembly between the plug-in structure, the plug-in and removal of the VPX card 51 and hard drive 52 can be achieved simultaneously, making the overall structure simpler, effectively shortening the installation time and improving efficiency.

Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
