Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of testing equipment for remanufactured server components, and more specifically, to a device for testing the quality of hard drives used in server remanufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid pace of digital transformation, the global server equipment is being updated and iterated at an increasingly faster speed, leaving a large number of servers idle or obsolete. Through scientific recycling and remanufacturing processes, these obsolete servers can be transformed into cost-effective productivity tools. More than 70% of server components, such as hard drives, power modules, heat sinks, CPUs, and memory modules, can be remanufactured and refurbished and reused in enterprise data storage, edge computing, and other scenarios.

[0003] For the remanufacturing and recycling of server hard drives, it is necessary to test the number of bad sectors, operating temperature, and other conditions of the hard drives to exclude those that can no longer be used. Hard drives that meet the remanufacturing standards will then proceed to the next recycling process. The current method of testing remanufactured hard drives requires repeatedly plugging and unplugging multiple hard drives into a single interface on a computer, which is inefficient. There is no equipment specifically designed for hard drive testing. After prolonged use, repeated plugging and unplugging of the interface by humans can easily cause tilting, resulting in scratches, damage, and short circuits to the inner casing of the interface, thus affecting the quality of the testing work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a hard drive quality testing device for server remanufacturing. This device utilizes a specially designed bracket assembly to simultaneously test multiple hard drives for data such as bad sectors and operating temperature, thereby improving the testing efficiency of hard drives in server remanufacturing, extending the service life of interfaces, and ensuring the quality of server hard drive remanufacturing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A hard drive testing device for server remanufacturing includes a base plate. A display screen is provided on one side of the upper surface of the base plate. The display screen is connected to the inside of a testing box via a ribbon cable. A power supply is provided at the rear of the testing box. The power supply is connected to an external socket via a power supply line. A slide is provided on the other side of the upper surface of the base plate. The slide slide is slidably embedded between two rails on both sides. Mounting plates are provided on both the front and rear sides of the slide slide. A plurality of hard drives are embedded and installed inside the slide slide. The power supply and data interfaces of the plurality of hard drives are inserted into the corresponding interfaces.

[0007] As a further optimization of this solution, both ends of the mounting plate are provided with L-shaped limiting baffles. The lower end of the vertical section of the L-shaped limiting baffle is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate, and a guide plate is provided between the horizontal sections of the L-shaped limiting baffle.

[0008] As a further optimization of this solution, the carriage is composed of several parallel L-shaped trays, and symmetrical arc-shaped partitions are provided at the front and rear ends of adjacent L-shaped trays. The outermost arc-shaped partition has a concave frame on its outer side, which is fitted onto the guide plate. The upper surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped tray is machined with a locking block corresponding to the position of the hard drive mounting screw hole.

[0009] As a further optimization of this solution, a top plate is connected upward at the middle of the upper end of the vertical section of the L-shaped tray via a D-shaped pull ring. Rotating plates are connected to both sides of the top plate via rotating bearings, and the upper end of the rotating plates is connected to both sides of the card plate via rotating bearings.

[0010] As a further optimization of this solution, all the interfaces are mounted on an inverted concave bracket, and each interface is connected to the power and data connectors of the motherboard via a cable.

[0011] As a further optimization of this solution, the mainboard inside the detection box is equipped with a memory and a controller.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] This invention utilizes a slide structure composed of several parallel L-shaped trays to support multiple hard drives at once. Inspectors can push the slide back and forth on the track using D-shaped pull rings to insert the power and data interfaces of each hard drive into the corresponding positions. Software on the internal memory of the testing box reads the number of bad sectors, operating temperature, and other test data for each hard drive, which is then displayed on a screen, thus enabling the testing of the hard drives' condition.

[0014] This utility model incorporates an L-shaped limiting baffle, a guide plate, and a locking plate, which can limit and guide the insertion and removal of hard drives, ensuring that the power and data interfaces of the hard drives are horizontally aligned and inserted into the interface. This reduces interface misalignment damage caused by manual insertion and removal, extends the service life of the interfaces, and guarantees the quality of server hard drive remanufacturing.

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the following description, in conjunction with specific illustrations, further elaborates on this utility model.

[0021] To address the current issue of remanufactured hard drive testing, multiple hard drives need to be repeatedly plugged and unplugged into a single computer interface, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, there is no dedicated equipment designed for hard drive testing. Over time, repeated plugging and unplugging of the interface by human intervention can cause it to tilt, leading to scratches, damage, and short circuits to the inner casing of the interface, thus affecting the quality of the testing work.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, this application includes a device base plate 1. A display screen 2 is provided on one side of the upper surface of the device base plate 1. The display screen 2 is connected to the inside of the detection box 3 via a ribbon cable 17. A power supply 4 is provided at the rear of the detection box 3. The power supply 4 is connected to an external socket via a power supply line 5. A slide is provided on the other side of the upper surface of the device base plate 1. The slide slide is slidably embedded between the rails 6 on both sides. Mounting plates 8 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the slide. Several hard disks 9 are embedded inside the slide.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the power supply and data interfaces 10 of several hard disks 9 are inserted into the corresponding interfaces 11. Both ends of the mounting plate 8 are provided with L-shaped limiting baffles 11. The lower end of the vertical section of the L-shaped limiting baffle 11 is fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 8, and a guide plate 12 is provided between the horizontal sections of the L-shaped limiting baffle 11.

[0024] like Figure 4As shown, the carriage is composed of several parallel L-shaped trays 7, and symmetrical arc-shaped partitions 14 are provided at the front and rear ends of adjacent L-shaped trays 7. The outermost arc-shaped partition 14 is provided with a concave frame 21 on its outer side. The concave frame 21 is fitted onto the guide plate 12. The upper surface of the horizontal section of the L-shaped tray 7 is machined with a locking block 13 corresponding to the mounting screw hole position of the hard disk 9.

[0025] At the upper middle position of the vertical section of the L-shaped tray 7, a top plate 24 is connected upwards via a D-shaped pull ring 25. Rotating plates 23 are connected to both sides of the top plate 24 via rotating bearings. The upper end of the rotating plate 23 is connected to both sides of the clamping plate 22 via rotating bearings.

[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, the interfaces 11 are all mounted on the inverted concave bracket 18, and each interface 11 is connected to the power supply and data connector 20 of the motherboard via a line 19. The motherboard inside the detection box 3 is equipped with a memory 16 and a controller 15.

[0027] Specifically, a suitable number of L-shaped trays 7 can be designed according to work needs to form a carriage, which is embedded and installed between the rails 6. When placing a hard drive 9, the carriage can be pulled out by the D-shaped pull ring 25. The concave frame 21 moves along the guide rod 12 until the concave frame 21 contacts the L-shaped limit baffle 11. After placing the hard drive 9 inside the L-shaped tray 7, rotate the plate 22 to lock it above all the hard drives 9. Then continue to push the carriage inward along the rail 6 by the D-shaped pull ring 25 until the concave frame 21 contacts the L-shaped limit baffle 11. At this time, the power supply and data interfaces 10 of several hard drives 9 are inserted into the corresponding interfaces 11. The software on the internal memory 16 of the test box 3 reads the detection data such as the number of bad sectors and operating temperature of each hard drive 9 and displays it on the display screen 2 to realize the detection of the good and bad of the hard drives 9. The specific detection software can be commonly used CrystalDiskInfo, DiskGenius, HD Tune Pro, etc.

[0028] In addition, the L-shaped limiting baffle 11, guide plate 12, and card plate 22 can limit and guide the insertion and removal of the hard disk 9, so that the power supply and data interface 10 of the hard disk 9 is horizontally aligned and inserted into the interface 11, reducing interface misalignment damage caused by manual insertion and removal, extending the service life of the interface, and ensuring the quality of server hard disk remanufacturing.
