Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of disk array technology, specifically a connection device between a computer and a disk array. Background Technology

[0002] A computer is an electronic device that can store, process, and perform operations on input data according to a preset program. Through the collaboration of hardware and software, it can realize multiple functions such as data calculation, information management, and logical judgment. It is the core tool of modern information society. From personal computers to supercomputers, its form has continued to evolve, profoundly changing human production, life, and way of thinking.

[0003] Computer disk arrays are storage systems that combine multiple independent hard drives using specific technologies. They can improve storage capacity and read / write speeds through data sharding, mirroring, and other methods. Computers and disk arrays are mostly connected through interfaces such as SAS, iSCSI, and NVMeoF to achieve centralized data storage and read / write.

[0004] Existing disk arrays are assembled by combining multiple small disks and then placing them one by one on a rack. However, when it is necessary to replace the bottom disk, the user has to remain in the same position for a long time, which increases the discomfort of operation.

[0005] Therefore, a connection device between a computer and a disk array is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: The computer and disk array connection device of this utility model includes a connection shell, and a disk enclosure is installed inside the connection shell; a power strip is installed at the end of both the connection shell and the disk enclosure; the connection shell and the disk enclosure are connected by a transmission line on the power strip; a pair of mounting slots are opened on the inner wall of the connection shell; a support frame is provided at the end of the connection shell; a pair of locking blocks are fixedly connected to the end of the support frame; the locking blocks and the mounting slots are correspondingly arranged and slidably engaged; by adding a support frame, when replacing the disk, the locking blocks and the mounting slots can restrict the support frame, stopping its range of motion, and then the support frame can guide it to gradually rise, thereby increasing the height when the disk enclosure is removed, thus reducing the descent height of the operator, thereby adapting to the operator's height and increasing the convenience of replacing the disk enclosure.

[0008] Preferably, the support frame is slidably connected to an extension frame; an extension plate is fixedly connected to the top of the extension frame; multiple first slots are provided on the side of the extension frame; multiple second slots are provided on the side wall of the support frame; the first slots and second slots are correspondingly arranged; by adding an extension plate, the support frame can be raised again when the height of the support frame is insufficient, thereby raising the placement position of the disk box, thus increasing the means of secondary raising and making it more flexible to adapt to different heights.

[0009] Preferably, the side wall of the height-increasing frame is fixedly connected with multiple fixing plates; a limiting plate is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixing plate; the limiting plate and the fixing plate are connected by a torsion spring; by adding a limiting plate, the force of the torsion spring can be used to initially fix the limiting plate, thereby reducing the alignment time of the first and second slots and thus speeding up the time for the pin to be inserted into the first and second slots.

[0010] Preferably, a damping pad is fixed to the surface of the support frame; multiple damping pads are provided on the support frame; by adding damping pads, the range of movement after slippage can be reduced by increasing frictional resistance when the disk box moves on the support frame, thereby reducing the slippage that occurs after slippage.

[0011] Preferably, both the connecting shell and the support frame are fixedly connected to the bottom with multiple feet; multiple feet are provided on both the connecting shell and the support frame; by adding feet, the connecting shell and the support frame can be raised, thereby increasing the flow path of the surrounding airflow and increasing the contact area between the airflow and the connecting shell when it passes through.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting shell sidewall is fixed with multiple heat dissipation fins; the heat dissipation fins are provided with multiple heat dissipation holes in the middle; by increasing the heat dissipation fins and heat dissipation holes, the contact with the external airflow can be increased when heat is generated, so that the heat is eliminated more quickly. When the airflow passes through the heat dissipation holes, it will contact the inside of the heat dissipation fins, thereby eliminating more heat.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The computer and disk array connection device of this utility model, by adding a support frame, can restrict the support frame by the engagement of the locking block and the mounting slot when the disk is replaced, so that it stops its range of motion. Then, the support frame is continuously guided to gradually raise the disk, thereby increasing the height when the disk is removed, thereby reducing the descent height of the operator, thus adapting to the operator's height and increasing the convenience when replacing the disk.

[0015] 2. The computer and disk array connection device of this utility model can raise the support frame when the support frame is not high enough by adding a height-increasing plate, thereby raising the placement position of the disk enclosure again, thus adding a secondary lifting method and making it more flexible to adapt to different heights.

[0023] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, the computer-disk array connection device includes a connecting housing 1, inside which a disk enclosure 11 is installed; both the connecting housing 1 and the disk enclosure 11 are equipped with power strips 12 at their ends; the connecting housing 1 and the disk enclosure 11 are connected via transmission lines on the power strips 12; a pair of mounting slots 14 are provided on the inner wall of the connecting housing 1; a support frame 13 is provided at the end of the connecting housing 1; a pair of locking blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the end of the support frame 13; the locking blocks 15 and the mounting slots 14 are correspondingly arranged and slidably engaged; during operation, different line connection ports are inserted into the power strips 12, and the data inside the disk enclosure 11 is processed by computer control; after use, when replacement is needed, the locking blocks 15 can be placed into the mounting slots 14 for engagement, at which time the support frame 13 will connect with the outlet of the connecting housing 1, and then... Pull the disk enclosure 11 out of the connecting housing 1, and it will then contact the support frame 13. At this time, it will gradually move along the surface of the support frame 13 and rise to the top of the support frame 13, thereby raising the disk enclosure 11. This reduces the operator's descent height when replacing the disk, reducing discomfort from prolonged descent. After replacement, push the disk enclosure 11 back to its original position and then lift the support frame 13 to remove it from the connecting housing 1, thus disconnecting the connection. By adding the support frame 13, the engagement of the locking block 15 and the mounting slot 14 can restrict the movement of the support frame 13 during disk replacement, stopping its range of motion. Then, the support frame 13 will guide the disk enclosure 11 to rise gradually, increasing the height at which it can be removed, thereby reducing the operator's descent height and adapting to the operator's height, increasing the convenience of replacing the disk enclosure 11.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a height-adjusting frame 2 is slidably connected inside the support frame 13; a height-adjusting plate 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the height-adjusting frame 2; multiple first slots 22 are opened on the side of the height-adjusting frame 2; multiple second slots 23 are opened on the side wall of the support frame 13; the first slots 22 and the second slots 23 are correspondingly arranged; during operation, when the height of the support frame 13 is insufficient, the height-adjusting plate 21 can be pulled to raise it. After raising, the first slots 22 and the second slots 23 are aligned, and then the pin is inserted into the first slots 22 and the second slots 23, thereby fixing the height-adjusting plate 21. When the height-adjusting plate 21 is fixed, the support frame 13 will be raised, so that the disk box 11 can be placed on the height-adjusting plate 21 after it is taken out; by adding the height-adjusting plate 21, the support frame 13 can be raised again when the height of the support frame 13 is insufficient, thereby raising the placement position of the disk box 11 again, thus adding a secondary raising method, making it more flexible to adapt to different heights.

[0027] like Figure 3As shown, multiple fixing plates 3 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the riser 2; a limiting plate 31 is rotatably connected to the middle of the fixing plate 3; the limiting plate 31 and the fixing plate 3 are connected by a torsion spring; during operation, when the riser 2 moves, the limiting plate 31 slides along the inner wall of the support frame 13, and then rotates when it leaves the inside of the support frame 13, so that it fits against the top of the support frame 13. At this time, the riser 21 is raised. When the riser 21 is raised, the first slot 22 and the second slot 23 will be aligned. At this time, the pin can be inserted to stabilize it; by adding the limiting plate 31, the force of the torsion spring can be used to initially fix the limiting plate 31, thereby reducing the alignment time of the first slot 22 and the second slot 23, and thus speeding up the time for the pin to be inserted into the first slot 22 and the second slot 23.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, a damping pad 4 is fixedly attached to the surface of the support frame 13; multiple damping pads 4 are provided on the support frame 13; during operation, when the disk box 11 moves on the support frame 13, the damping pad 4 will be in close contact with the bottom of the disk box 11, increasing the moving resistance during movement, thereby reducing the range of movement of the disk box 11 after slippage occurs when picking up the disk box 11, thus increasing protection; by adding damping pads 4, when the disk box 11 moves on the support frame 13, the range of movement after slippage can be reduced by increasing frictional resistance, thereby reducing the slippage that occurs after slippage.

[0029] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, both the connecting housing 1 and the support frame 13 have multiple feet 5 fixed to their bottoms. Multiple feet 5 are provided on both the connecting housing 1 and the support frame 13. During operation, the feet 5 raise the connecting housing 1 and the support frame 13 when they are placed, thereby increasing the airflow at the bottom. Simultaneously, the airflow at the bottom after placement pushes away dust, causing it to move. By adding feet 5, the connecting housing 1 and the support frame 13 can be raised, thereby increasing the surrounding airflow path and increasing the contact area between the airflow and the connecting housing 1.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, multiple heat dissipation fins 6 are fixed to the side wall of the connecting housing 1; multiple heat dissipation holes 61 are opened in the middle of the heat dissipation fins 6; during operation, when the disk enclosure 11 generates a large amount of heat, this heat will be absorbed by the heat dissipation fins 6 and transferred to the outside. When the airflow moves, it will come into contact with the heat dissipation holes 61 and the heat dissipation fins 6, thereby gradually eliminating the heat; by increasing the number of heat dissipation fins 6 and heat dissipation holes 61, the contact with the external airflow can be increased when heat is generated, making it faster to eliminate heat. When the airflow passes through the heat dissipation holes 61, it will come into contact with the inside of the heat dissipation fins 6, thereby eliminating more heat.

[0031] Working principle: During use, different line connection ports are inserted into the power strip 12, and the data inside the disk enclosure 11 is processed by computer control. After use, when replacement is needed, the locking block 15 is placed into the mounting slot 14 to engage. At this time, the support frame 13 will connect with the outlet of the connecting shell 1. The disk enclosure 11 can then be pulled to gradually move away from the connecting shell 1, and then it will come into contact with the support frame 13. It will then gradually move along the surface of the support frame 13, and during the movement, it will gradually rise until it moves to the top of the support frame 13. The disk enclosure 11 is heightened to reduce the operator's descent height during disk replacement, minimizing discomfort from prolonged descent. After replacement, the disk enclosure 11 is pushed back to its original position, and the support frame 13 is lifted to detach it from the connecting housing 1, thus disconnecting the connection. If the support frame 13 is not high enough, the extension plate 21 can be pulled up to raise it. After raising, the first slot 22 and the second slot 23 are aligned, and then the pin is inserted into the first slot 22 and the second slot 23 to fix the extension plate 21. Once the extension plate 21 is fixed, the support frame... The height of the support frame 13 is increased so that after the disk enclosure 11 is removed, it can be placed on the height-increasing plate 21 for processing. When the height-increasing frame 2 moves, the limiting plate 31 slides along the inner wall of the support frame 13, and then rotates when it leaves the inside of the support frame 13, so that it fits against the top of the support frame 13. At this time, the height-increasing plate 21 is raised. When the height-increasing plate 21 is raised, the first slot 22 and the second slot 23 will be aligned. At this time, the pin can be inserted to stabilize it. When the disk enclosure 11 moves on the support frame 13, the damping pad 4 will be in close contact with the bottom of the disk enclosure 11, so that it can be raised during movement. The movement resistance is increased, thereby reducing the range of movement of the disk enclosure 11 after slippage occurs when picking it up, thus increasing protection; when the connecting shell 1 and the support frame 13 are placed, the pads 5 will raise it, thereby increasing the bottom airflow, and at the same time, the bottom airflow will push the dust at the bottom after placement, thereby moving it; when the disk enclosure 11 generates a lot of heat during operation, this heat will be absorbed by the heat dissipation fins 6 and transferred to the outside. When the airflow moves, it will come into contact with the heat dissipation holes 61 and the heat dissipation fins 6, thereby gradually eliminating the heat.

[0032] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
