DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0076] The technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on some embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0077] The core of the present application is to provide a hard disk bracket which is convenient to install and simple in structure. Another core of the present application is to provide a hard disk assembly comprising the above hard disk bracket, which is convenient to assemble and high in assembly efficiency. Another core of the present application is to provide a server comprising the above hard disk assembly, which is high in assembly efficiency of the hard disk assembly and good in maintenance applicability.

[0078] Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, some embodiments of the present application provide a hard disk bracket, comprising a bracket front end body 1, a first slide 2, a second slide 3 and a clamping column 21, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are connected with the bracket front end body 1 respectively, and the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are oppositely arranged, forming a space for installing a hard disk 9 between them; the clamping column 21 is arranged in at least one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3, and the clamping column 21 is used for clamping the hard disk 9; at least one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 is provided with a mounting hole 22, the mounting hole 22 is used for passing a fastener 23, and the fastener 23 is used for fixing the hard disk 9.

[0079] It can be understood that the bracket front end body 1, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are connected together to form an integrated hard disk bracket similar to a U-shaped structure, having an internal space in which the hard disk 9 is installed, and the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 limit the two sides of the hard disk 9, respectively. When installing, the hard disk 9 is pushed into the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 from the opening of the end of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 away from the bracket front end body 1, and continues to push until the hard disk 9 is installed in place, at which time the clamping column 21 is clamped into the first clamping groove of the hard disk 9, and the fastener 23 is fixed through the mounting hole 22 and the hard disk 9.

[0080] From the above, some embodiments of the application are provided with a clamping column 21 in at least one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3, which clamps the corresponding first clamping groove on the hard disk 9 when the hard disk 9 is installed in place, thereby assisting in fixing the hard disk 9. At the same time, at least one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 is provided with a mounting hole 22, through which the fastener 23 used to fix the hard disk 9 can pass, so that when the hard disk 9 is installed in place, the fastener 23 is inserted into the mounting hole 22 and connected with the hard disk 9. It can be seen that some embodiments of the application combine the clamping of the clamping column 21 and the hard disk 9 and the fixing of the fastener 23 and the hard disk 9 to realize the fixation of the hard disk 9 in the hard disk bracket. The clamping of the clamping column 21 and the first clamping groove of the hard disk 9 belongs to a tool-free installation structure, which only needs to align the first clamping groove with the clamping column 21. Compared with the related art which completely uses screws to fix the hard disk 9, the use of the clamping column 21 reduces the number of fasteners 23, thereby saving installation time, improving assembly efficiency and enhancing maintenance applicability. Compared with the hard disk 9 support in the related art which is free of installation tools, the hard disk bracket provided by some embodiments of the application has a simple structure.

[0081] That is, the hard disk bracket provided by some embodiments of the application is convenient to install, can reduce assembly time, has a simple structure, is highly applicable and has high practical value under the condition of reliable fixation of the hard disk 9.

[0082] It should be noted that the specific setting mode, relative position relationship, etc. of the clamping column 21 and the mounting hole 22 are not limited, as long as the clamping column 21 and the fastener 23 inserted into the mounting hole 22 can cooperate to fix the hard disk 9.

[0083] Please continue to refer to Figure 1, in some embodiments, along the length direction of the first slide 2 or the second slide 3, the clamping column 21 is closer to the bracket front end body 1 than the mounting hole 22. That is, compared to the mounting hole 22, the clamping column 21 is closer to the bracket front end body 1. It can be understood that the closer to the bracket front end body 1, the smaller the deformation amount of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 when deformed in the direction of moving away from each other; the farther away from the bracket front end body 1, that is, the closer to the opening of the hard disk bracket, the greater the deformation amount of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 when deformed in the direction of moving away from each other, so that the embodiment makes the clamping column 21 closer to the bracket front end body 1 than the mounting hole 22, which is beneficial to clamping the hard disk 9 by the clamping column 21, and at the same time, the mounting hole 22 is closer to the opening of the hard disk bracket, which is beneficial to fixing the hard disk 9 and improving the reliability and stability of the hard disk 9.

[0084] In some embodiments, the clamping column 21 includes a first clamping column and a second clamping column, the first clamping column is arranged on the first slide 2, and the second clamping column is arranged on the second slide 3. That is, in some embodiments, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are both provided with the clamping column 21, which is beneficial to improve the balance of the clamping force on both sides of the hard disk 9.

[0085] It should be noted that the specific number of the first clamping column and the second clamping column is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and the first clamping column and the second clamping column can be one respectively or at least two respectively. The more the number of the first clamping column and the second clamping column, the more the clamping positions of the hard disk 9, and the more firmly the hard disk 9 is fixed.

[0086] In order to balance the stress on both sides of the hard disk 9, in some embodiments, the first clamping column and the second clamping column are arranged in alignment. That is, the first clamping column and the second clamping column are respectively matched with two first clamping grooves on the same cross section on both sides of the hard disk 9 for clamping. This is beneficial to further improve the balance of the clamping force on the hard disk 9, and at the same time, it is convenient for installation.

[0087] In addition, in some embodiments, the mounting hole 22 includes a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole, the first mounting hole is arranged on the first slide 2, and the second mounting hole is arranged on the second slide 3. That is, in some embodiments, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are both provided with the mounting hole 22, which is beneficial to improve the balance of the fixing force on both sides of the hard disk 9.

[0088] It should be noted that the specific number of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole is not limited in the embodiment of the application, and the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole can be one respectively or at least two respectively. The more the number of the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole, the more the fixing positions of the hard disk 9, and the more firmly the hard disk 9 is fixed.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are arranged in alignment, in consideration of the balance of the force on both sides of the hard disk 9. That is, the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are respectively matched with the two fixing holes on the same cross section of both sides of the hard disk 9. This is conducive to further improving the balance of the fixing force on the hard disk 9.

[0090] In addition, referring to FIG. 1, in order to facilitate the installation of the hard disk 9 and improve the stability of the hard disk 9 after being fixed, in some embodiments, the hard disk bracket further comprises a supporting plate 421 connected with at least one of the first slide 2, the second slide 3 and the bracket front end body 1, and the supporting plate 421 extends to the bottom of the space between the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 for supporting the hard disk 9. That is, some embodiments provide support for the hard disk 9 from the bottom by arranging the supporting plate 421, which facilitates the hard disk 9 to be in a horizontal plane and improves the positioning accuracy of the hard disk 9. Therefore, it is convenient for the clamping column 21 to be matched and clamped with the first clamping groove of the hard disk 9. At the same time, after the hard disk 9 is fixed, the supporting plate 421 also has a certain supporting effect on the hard disk 9, which can make the hard disk 9 more stable. The supporting force of the supporting plate 421 can also offset a part of the gravity of the hard disk 9, which can reduce the shear force on the clamping column 21 and the fastener 23, improve the structural stability and service life.

[0091] It should be noted that the specific structure and arrangement of the supporting plate 421 are not limited in the embodiments of the present application, as long as the supporting plate 421 can extend to the bottom of the space between the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 to support the hard disk 9.

[0092] In some embodiments, the supporting plate 421 comprises a first supporting plate and a second supporting plate. The first supporting plate is arranged at the bottom of the first slide 2 and located below the first clamping column. The second supporting plate is arranged at the bottom of the second slide 3 and located below the second clamping column. That is, the supporting plate 421 in some embodiments is arranged at the bottom of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 respectively. The first supporting plate extends towards the side where the second slide 3 is located, and the second supporting plate extends towards the side where the first slide 2 is located, which has a two-point supporting effect on the hard disk 9. Moreover, the first supporting plate is located below the first clamping column, and the second supporting plate is located below the second clamping column. That is, the supporting position of the first supporting plate on the hard disk 9 is close to the first clamping column, and the supporting position of the second supporting plate on the hard disk 9 is close to the second clamping column. Therefore, under the stable support of the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate on the hard disk 9, it is convenient for the first clamping groove on both sides of the hard disk 9 to be aligned with the first clamping column and the second clamping column respectively, so as to facilitate the clamping of the first clamping column and the second clamping column with the first clamping groove on both sides of the hard disk 9. This is conducive to the rapid installation and positioning of the hard disk 9, which brings many conveniences to the installation of the hard disk 9, and further improves the assembly efficiency.

[0093] In addition, in order to avoid the hard disk carrier being inserted reversely when the hard disk carrier with the hard disk 9 is inserted into the case, in some embodiments, the height of one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 is higher than the height of the other, and the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 are used to match the front window structure of the case to prevent the hard disk carrier from being inserted reversely. As shown in FIG. 4, the height of the first slide 2 is lower than the height of the second slide 3, and thus, in the left view of the hard disk carrier shown in FIG. 4, it can be seen that the second slide 3 is higher than the part of the first slide 2. It can be understood that the front window structure of the case has structures matched with the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 respectively, and some embodiments make the height of one of the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 higher than the height of the other, so that the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 form a height difference, and correspondingly, the structures of the front window structure of the case used to match the first slide 2 and the second slide 3 respectively also have a height difference, so that when the hard disk carrier is inserted into the case, only when the position state of the hard disk carrier is correct, the hard disk carrier can be inserted into the front window structure of the case, and when the position state of the hard disk carrier is incorrect, the hard disk carrier cannot be inserted into the front window structure of the case, that is, the physical foolproof function of the hard disk carrier can be realized to prevent the hard disk carrier from being inserted reversely, and it is also helpful to quickly position the hard disk carrier when the hard disk carrier is installed, and the production efficiency and the maintenance applicability are improved.

[0094] In addition, referring to FIGS. 5 and 6, in some embodiments, a light guide column 5 is arranged at the position of the second slide 3 of the carrier front end body 1, and the front end face of the light guide column 5 is exposed on the front face of the carrier front end body 1 to display the working state of the hard disk 9, and the rear end face of the light guide column 5 is used to match the working indicator light of the back plate of the hard disk 9. It can be understood that the front end face of the light guide column 5 is the end face of the light guide column 5 away from the side where the second slide 3 is located, and the rear end face of the light guide column 5 is the end face of the light guide column 5 facing the side where the second slide 3 is located. The light guide column 5 is arranged at the position of the second slide 3 of the carrier front end body 1, which is conducive to avoiding the light guide column 5 from interfering with other structural members arranged on the carrier front end body 1, such as the handle 6, and at the same time, the front end face of the light guide column 5 is exposed on the front face of the carrier front end body 1, which is convenient for customers to identify the working state of the hard disk 9 and improves the maintenance applicability.

[0095] In addition, referring to FIG. 7, in order to improve the structural strength, in some embodiments, the hard disk bracket further comprises a sheet metal support 4, which comprises a branch arm crossbeam 41, a first branch arm 42 and a second branch arm 43. The branch arm crossbeam 41 is a one-character hollow structure, which is used to be connected with the side of the bracket front end body 1 towards the first slide 2 and the second slide 3. The first branch arm 42 and the second branch arm 43 are respectively connected with the two ends of the branch arm crossbeam 41 perpendicularly. The first branch arm 42 is in close contact with the inner side wall of the first slide 2. The second branch arm 43 is in close contact with the inner side wall of the second slide 3. The first branch arm 42 and the second branch arm 43 are both provided with through holes 422 for the clamping column 21 and the fastener 23 to pass through. It can be understood that, in order to facilitate the hard disk 9 to be installed into the space between the first slide 2 and the second slide 3, in some embodiments, the first slide 2, the second slide 3 and the bracket front end body 1 are plastic parts, which have a certain plastic deformation ability. This results in that the strength and rigidity of the first slide 2, the second slide 3 and the bracket front end body 1 are relatively low, and the support capacity for the hard disk 9 is insufficient. In order to improve the structural strength and rigidity of the hard disk bracket, some embodiments add the sheet metal support 4. The branch arm crossbeam 41, the first branch arm 42 and the second branch arm 43 of the sheet metal support 4 are connected as a whole, forming a structure similar to a U shape, which is embedded in the inner side of the bracket front end body 1, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3, so as to improve the structural strength of the bracket front end body 1, the first slide 2 and the second slide 3. The first branch arm 42 and the second branch arm 43 are both provided with through holes 422 for the clamping column 21 and the fastener 23 to pass through, so as to avoid affecting the clamping of the clamping column 21 and the hard disk 9 and the fixation of the fastener 23 and the hard disk 9. In addition, the branch arm crossbeam 41 is a one-character hollow structure, which can reduce the weight of the sheet metal support 4. At the same time, it is convenient for the locking screw used to connect the sheet metal support 4 and the bracket front end body 1 to pass through the hollow hole and be connected with the bracket front end body 1, so that the head of the locking screw presses the branch arm crossbeam 41.

[0096] In addition, in order to improve the structural strength of the support plate 421 mentioned above, in some embodiments, the support plate 421 is arranged at the bottom of the sheet metal support 4, for example, the support plate 421 is arranged at the bottom of the first branch arm 42 and the second branch arm 43 corresponding to the clamping column 21.

[0097] In addition, referring to FIGS. 5, 6 and 8, in order to facilitate plugging and unplugging the hard disk carrier, the carrier front end body 1 is provided with a handle 6 in some embodiments, which can be rotated to open or close. The handle 6 is provided with a first clamping buckle 61, which is used to limit the position of the second clamping slot of the server case when the handle 6 is closed.
