Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server-related technology, specifically a server solid-state drive fixing component. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a high-performance computer that provides computing, storage, data management, and resource sharing services to other computers on a network. It is one of the core components of a network architecture. Simply put, a server is responsible for processing client requests and providing corresponding support to ensure the normal operation of various data and services on the network. Servers require a large amount of storage space during use, so a hard disk array is needed. Building a hard disk array requires hard disk mounting components.

[0003] Existing servers typically feature a flat design. To improve hard drive replacement efficiency, hard drive arrays are usually located at the front of the server, and each hard drive mounting component can be disassembled independently. However, the current hard drive mounting components require screws to be used to secure the hard drives, which necessitates the use of additional tools and reduces the convenience of replacing hard drives. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a server solid-state drive mounting component to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the simple structure of the currently used hard drive mounting components, the need for practical tools when replacing the hard drive, and the low disassembly and assembly efficiency.

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

[0006] A server solid-state drive mounting assembly includes a hard drive mounting bracket and a clamping edge. One end of the hard drive mounting bracket is fitted with an end shell, and one end of the end shell is fitted with a pull rod. The other end of the end shell is fitted with a spring button, and the spring button is engaged with one end of the pull rod.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: one side of the hard drive mounting bracket is provided with a folded edge, and two folded edges are symmetrically distributed; two sets of spring pieces are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the mounting bracket, and two spring pieces are symmetrically distributed in each set, while a limiting post is installed at the top end of each spring piece.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the pressure edges are provided in two symmetrical arrangements, and the two pressure edges are respectively provided on the top two sides of the hard disk mounting bracket.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a light guide strip is provided on one inner wall of the hard disk mounting bracket, and the two ends of the light guide strip are respectively engaged and connected with two folded edges, while one end of the light guide strip is in close contact with the light-transmitting column; the light-transmitting column is embedded in one end of the end shell.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the hard drive mounting bracket has two sets of arc-shaped spring plates symmetrically distributed on both sides, and each set of arc-shaped spring plates has two plates symmetrically distributed.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model: both sides of the end shell are hollowed out, and the connection between the end shell and the pull rod is a rotatable connection. At the same time, a locking component is provided at the end of the pull rod away from the elastic button.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the limiting post has a conical structure, and each set of limiting posts is penetrated by a buffer pad.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the buffer pads cover the inner wall of the hard disk mounting bracket, and each buffer pad is distributed corresponding to a pressing edge, while both ends of each pressing edge are bent downwards.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] This invention features a pressure edge, a spring clip, and a limiting post. When installing a hard drive, one end of the drive is inserted between the buffer pad and the pressure edge from the side furthest from the end housing. During this process, the limiting post, under pressure, pushes the corresponding spring clip to bend. When the hard drive is fully inserted into the hard drive mounting bracket, the screw hole at the bottom of the hard drive aligns with the corresponding position of the limiting post. At this point, the spring clip rebounds, causing the limiting post to engage with the corresponding screw hole, quickly securing the hard drive. Conversely, when removing the hard drive, pulling it outwards causes the cylindrical limiting post to change direction under lateral pressure, gradually pushing the spring clip downwards until the limiting post is completely disengaged from the screw hole. The entire assembly and disassembly process requires no tools, significantly improving convenience.

[0016] This utility model features a pressing edge with elastic bends at both ends. The minimum distance between the end of the pressing edge and the buffer pad is 7mm, and the elastic bends at both ends can rotate upwards. When rotated to the maximum angle, the minimum distance between the end of the pressing edge and the buffer pad is 9mm. Therefore, it can adapt to two different thicknesses of conventional 2.5-inch solid-state drives on the market, thus improving its applicability. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 In this embodiment of the present invention, a server solid-state drive fixing component includes a hard drive mounting bracket 1 and pressure edges 13. One end of the hard drive mounting bracket 1 is fitted with an end shell 2, and one end of the end shell 2 is fitted with a pull rod 5. The other end of the end shell 2 is fitted with an elastic button 4, and the elastic button 4 is engaged with one end of the pull rod 5. One side of the hard drive mounting bracket 1 is provided with a folded edge 8, and two folded edges 8 are symmetrically distributed. Two sets of spring pieces 10 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom of the mounting bracket 1, and two spring pieces 10 are symmetrically distributed in each set. At the same time, a limiting post 11 is installed at the top end of each spring piece 10. Two pressure edges 13 are symmetrically distributed, and the two pressure edges 13 are respectively provided on the top two sides of the hard drive mounting bracket 1.

[0024] More specifically, the surface of the elastic button 4 has a hollow structure, which can increase the efficiency of air passing through.

[0025] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the hard disk mounting bracket 1 and the end shell 2 are connected by a snap-fit ​​connection, and the hard disk mounting bracket 1 is made of metal sheet stamping process, while the end shell 2 is made of plastic material.

[0026] In this embodiment, a light guide strip 9 is provided on one inner wall of the hard disk mounting bracket 1, and the two ends of the light guide strip 9 are respectively engaged and connected with two folded edges 8, while one end of the light guide strip 9 is in close contact with the light transmission column 7; the light transmission column 7 is embedded in one end of the end shell 2.

[0027] More specifically, the light-transmitting column 7 penetrates both sides of the end shell 2.

[0028] As a further explanation of this embodiment, when the device is installed inside the server, the other end of the light guide strip 9 is in close contact with the server's hard drive indicator light and transmits the light to the light-transmitting column 7, so that the current operating status of the hard drive can be understood from the outside.

[0029] In this embodiment, the hard disk mounting bracket 1 has two sets of arc-shaped spring plates 3 symmetrically distributed on both sides, and each set of arc-shaped spring plates 3 has two sets symmetrically distributed.

[0030] More specifically, the curved spring plate 3 will deform under pressure. When the device is installed inside the server, the curved spring plate 3 will engage inside the server, providing additional fixation.

[0031] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the two sides of the arc-shaped spring plate 3 are arc-shaped, which can effectively reduce the resistance of the end shell 2 when entering and exiting the server.

[0032] In this embodiment, both sides of the end shell 2 are hollowed out, and the connection between the end shell 2 and the pull rod 5 is a rotatable connection. At the same time, the end of the pull rod 5 away from the elastic button 4 is provided with a locking member 6.

[0033] More specifically, the hollow structure on both sides of the end shell 2 can improve the efficiency of air passage.

[0034] As a further explanation of this embodiment, when the lever 5 is unfolded, the locking member 6 will retract into the end shell 2 and then detach from the inside of the server. At this time, the hard disk mounting bracket 1 can be pulled out by holding the lever 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, the limiting post 11 has a conical structure, and each set of limiting posts 11 penetrates a buffer pad 12.

[0036] More specifically, the conical limiting post 11 can change the direction of the force on the limiting post 11 body when subjected to lateral pressure, making it easier to install and remove the hard drive.

[0037] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the limiting post 11 is made of POM material, which has a certain self-lubricating effect and can be replaced individually.

[0038] In this embodiment, the buffer pad 12 covers the inner wall of the hard disk mounting bracket 1, and each buffer pad 12 is distributed corresponding to a pressing edge 13, while both ends of each pressing edge 13 are bent downward.

[0039] More specifically, the buffer pad 12 can fill the gap between the hard drive and the hard drive mounting bracket 1, improving the stability of the hard drive after installation.

[0040] As a further explanation of this embodiment, the bending structure at both ends of the pressure edge 13 can apply a certain amount of pressure to the hard drive.

[0041] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When installing a hard drive, first, the side of the hard drive with the screw hole faces the buffer pad 12, and ensure that one end of the interface is away from the side of the end shell 2. Then, insert the hard drive between the pressure edge 13 and the buffer pad 12, and then push the hard drive inward. During this process, when the limiting post 11 is subjected to the lateral pressure of the hard drive, it will squeeze the corresponding spring 10 and cause the corresponding spring 10 to bend. When the hard drive is fully inserted into the hard drive mounting bracket 1, the screw hole at the bottom of the hard drive corresponds to the limiting post 11. At this time, the spring 10 rebounds and drives the limiting post 11 to insert into the corresponding screw hole. At the same time, the bending structure on both sides of the pressure edge 13 squeezes the hard drive tightly against the buffer pad 12 to complete the installation of the hard drive.

[0042] Then press the elastic button 4 to disengage the end of the lever 5 from the elastic button 4, pull the lever 5 outward to retract the locking piece 6 into the end shell 2, then insert the hard drive mounting bracket 1 into the server, and finally pull the lever 5 down again to flip the locking piece 6 and lock it into the internal frame of the server, while reconnecting the end of the lever 5 with the elastic button 4.

[0043] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0044] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
