Detailed Description
Fig. 1A is a schematic diagram of a server chassis according to an embodiment of the invention. Fig. 1B is another perspective schematic view of the server chassis of fig. 1A. Referring to fig. 1A and fig. 1B, the server case 10 of the present embodiment includes a main chassis 20, and as shown in fig. 1A, the server case 10 includes a first hard disk area 30, a second hard disk area 32, and a hard disk bracket 110. The first hard disk area 30 is an area for placing hard disks in a general server chassis, and as the demand for hard disks increases, part of the server chassis may be planned with additional space for hard disk configuration, in this embodiment, in addition to the first hard disk area 30, a second hard disk area 32 and a hard disk bracket 110 are planned.
In this embodiment, the server chassis 10 is a 2U-high server chassis, a motherboard (not shown) and a wind scooper 25 located on the motherboard may be disposed below the second hard disk area 32, and the second hard disk area 32 is configured with a plurality of hard disks 34. Of course, in other embodiments, the server chassis 10 may be configured in other ways according to the current location of the second hard disk area 32.
In addition, as shown in fig. 1A, in the present embodiment, the hard disk tray 110 is detachably disposed above the expansion card 38, and a plurality of hard disks 36 are disposed on the hard disk tray 110 to provide further expansion. In the present embodiment, a user may choose to install 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches hard disks on the first hard disk area 30 (not shown), the second hard disk area 32 and the hard disk bracket 110, that is, the hard disks 34 and 36 may be 2.5 inches or 3.5 inches hard disks, and the form and size of the hard disks are not limited in the drawings.
Fig. 2A to 2B are schematic diagrams of a hard disk bracket turning-up process of the server chassis of fig. 1B. Referring to fig. 1A, fig. 2A and fig. 2B, in the present embodiment, the hard disk tray 110 can be flipped up relative to the main chassis 20, so as to facilitate a user to repair electronic components (such as, but not limited to, the expansion card 38) disposed below the hard disk tray 110. In addition, in the present embodiment, the hard disk bracket 110 can be easily assembled and disassembled to the main housing 20 without using tools. As will be explained below.
FIG. 3A is a schematic diagram of the hard disk tray of the server chassis of FIG. 1A moving up. Fig. 3B is a schematic view of the bracket of fig. 3A moving upward. Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the bracket and hard disk carrier of the server chassis of fig. 1A. Referring to fig. 3A to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the server casing 10 includes a main housing 20, two brackets 130, a hard disk bracket 110, and two retractable engaging members 120. It should be noted that, although the number of the bracket 130 and the retractable engaging member 120 is two in the present embodiment, in other embodiments, the number of the bracket 130 and the retractable engaging member 120 may be one or more, and is not limited thereto.
The main housing 20 includes a bottom plate 22, and two opposite side plates 24 connected to the bottom plate 22. The two brackets 130 are fixed to the two side plates 24, respectively. The bracket 130 is fixed to the side plate 24 in a locking manner, for example, but not limited thereto. As shown in fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the hard disk bracket 110 and the support 130 are used as the quick release device 100, and the hard disk bracket 110 can be quickly assembled and disassembled on the support 130 fixed on the side plate 24 (fig. 3B) of the main chassis 20 without using tools.
In the present embodiment, the hard disk tray 110 has two first surfaces 111 facing the bracket 130 (i.e., the left and right sides of the hard disk tray 110). The retractable engaging member 120 is disposed through the hard disk bracket 110. Each bracket 130 has an assembly channel 136 recessed from the edge and a slot portion 137 (fig. 4) at the end of the assembly channel 136.
Fig. 5A to 5C are partial sectional views of the retractable engaging member of fig. 4 along an entrance engaging groove portion of an assembly passage of a bracket. As shown in fig. 5A, in the present embodiment, the retractable engaging member 120 includes a first base 122, a locking portion 124 movably disposed through the first base 122, a button 126 coupled to the locking portion 124, and a first elastic member 128 located between the button 126 and the locking portion 124. The button 126 and the locking portion 124 protrude from opposite ends of the first base 122, and the locking portion 124 is telescopically protruded from the first surface 111 of the hard disk bracket 110. The latching portion 124 of the retractable latch 120 is adapted to enter and exit the latching portion 137 along the edge of the assembly channel 136 of the bracket 130. The first elastic member 128 is, for example, a spring, but may also be an elastic sheet, a compressed foam, or the like, without being limited thereto.
In detail, as shown in fig. 3B, the bracket 130 has a second surface 131 and a third surface 133 opposite to each other, and the second surface 131 faces the first surface 111 of the hard disk tray 110. The third surface 133 is away from the first surface 111 of the hard disk tray 110 and faces the side plate 24 of the main chassis 20.
As shown in fig. 5A, the third surface 133 forms a slope 134 (fig. 5B) at a location beside the assembly channel 136. During the process of the locking portion 124 passing through the assembly channel 136, the locking portion 124 moves along the inclined surface 134 to protrude further from the first surface 111, so that the first elastic member 128 is compressed. Then, as shown in fig. 5B, after the locking portion 124 passes through the inclined surface 134, the locking portion 124 abuts against the third surface 133 and moves downward, and the first elastic member 128 slightly recovers.
The third surface 133 of the bracket 130 is formed as a concave surface 135 (fig. 5B) at a position adjacent to the catching portion 137. Finally, as shown in fig. 5C, the locking portion 124 enters the locking groove portion 137. At this time, the first elastic element 128 can be restored more, however, since the length of the first elastic element 128 is still greater than the initial length of the first elastic element 128, the first elastic element 128 continuously pulls the locking portion 124 to the direction close to the first surface 111, and abuts against the recessed surface 135. The locking portion 124 stays on the concave surface 135 of the bracket 130 and cannot easily move upwards, so that the assembly can be completed.
Conversely, when the user wants to remove the hard disk tray 110 from the bracket 130, the user can press the button 126 of the retractable engaging member 120 to make the engaging portion 124 of the retractable engaging member 120 float in the engaging groove 137 without abutting against the recessed surface 135 of the bracket 130, and then pull up the hard disk tray 110 to make the retractable engaging member 120 leave the bracket 130 along the assembling channel 136, so as to complete the disassembling. Thus, the hard disk bracket 110 of the present embodiment can be quickly attached to and detached from the slot portion 137 of the bracket 130 through the retractable engaging member 120.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3B, in the present embodiment, the main chassis 20 further includes a first partition 26 located between the two side panels 24 and standing on the edge of the bottom panel 22. In this embodiment, the first partition 26 separates the two expansion cards 38. The first partition 26 has a first hole 27. Hard disk carrier 110 further includes a first extension 115 extending downward, and first extension 115 has a second hole 116. The server casing 10 further includes a pin 150, when the hard disk bracket 110 is disposed on the bracket 130, the second hole 116 is aligned with the first hole 27, and the pin 150 is disposed through the second hole 116 and the first hole 27, so that the hard disk bracket 110 is more stably disposed in the main housing and is less prone to move up due to vibration and other factors.
In addition, in the present embodiment, the main housing 20 further includes a second partition 28 located between the two side plates 24 and standing on the edge of the bottom plate 22, and in the present embodiment, one expansion card 38 is located between the first partition 26 and the second partition 28. The second partition 28 has a screw hole 29. The hard disk bracket 110 includes a second extension portion 117 extending downward, and the second extension portion 117 has a third hole 118. The server casing 10 further includes a screw 152, when the hard disk bracket 110 is disposed on the bracket 130, the third hole 118 is aligned with the screw hole 29, and the screw 152 passes through the third hole 118 and is fixed to the screw hole 29. In the embodiment, the screw 152 is, for example, a hand screw 152, and a user can fix the screw by turning the screw with a hand, without using an additional tool, so that the stability of the hard disk bracket 110 can be effectively improved.
Of course, in other embodiments, the server casing 10 can fix the relative position of the hard disk bracket 110 and the main casing 20 by a single screw 152, a plurality of screws 152, a single bolt 150, or a plurality of bolts 150.
In addition, referring back to fig. 4, in the present embodiment, the bracket 130 has a limiting groove 138 recessed from the edge, and the hard disk tray 110 includes a positioning pin 112 protruding from the first surface 111. Each of the positioning pins 112 includes a neck portion 113 connected to the first surface 111 and an enlarged portion 114 connected to the neck portion 113, the width of the neck portion 113 is smaller than the width of the limiting groove 138, and the width of the enlarged portion 114 is larger than the width of the limiting groove 138. Thus, the neck 113 of the alignment key 112 is adapted to enter the retention slot 138 of the bracket 130. The two walls of the bracket 130 beside the limiting groove 138 can be used to block the neck 113 of the positioning pin 112 from moving in the lateral direction (e.g., the upper left and lower right direction in fig. 4). The enlarged portion 114 can prevent the hard disk tray 110 from coming off in the extending direction of the neck portion 113 (the left-down-right-up direction in fig. 4).
Therefore, the hard disk bracket 110 of the present embodiment can be firmly fixed to the main chassis 20 and the bracket 130 by the above-mentioned structure.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the server chassis 10 is a 2U chassis, and the hard disk tray 110 is disposed on the upper layer, so that the hard disk tray 110 is spaced from the bottom plate 22 of the main chassis 20 by a height of 1U (1.75 inches). Therefore, other electronic components can be disposed between the hard disk tray 110 and the bottom plate 22 of the main chassis 20. Of course, in other embodiments, the server chassis 10 may be a chassis with other height, such as 4U, but not limited thereto. The distance between the two brackets 130 and the bottom plate 22 of the main chassis 20 is, for example, 1U (1.75 inches), but not limited thereto.
In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the user to maintain the electronic components at the bottom of the hard disk tray 110, when the hard disk tray 110 is disposed on the bracket 130, the hard disk tray 110 can be pivoted to the bracket 130 with the retractable engaging member 120 as the axis, so as to expose the electronic components at the bottom of the hard disk tray 110.
Fig. 6A to 6C are partial schematic views illustrating a rotation process of the hard disk tray of fig. 4 with respect to the support, wherein fig. 6A to 6C are enlarged views of a region A, B, C in fig. 1A, 2A, and 2B. Referring to fig. 6A to 6C, in the present embodiment, the bracket 130 includes a stopper 132 located beside the assembling passage 136 (fig. 4) and protruding from the second surface 131 of the bracket 130. In the present embodiment, the stop member 132 is formed by bending a portion of the bracket 130, but not limited thereto.
The hard disk bracket 110 may be rotated relative to the support 130 as shown in fig. 6A-6C until the hard disk bracket 110 contacts the stopper 132. In other words, when the hard disk bracket 110 contacts the stopper 132, it is the end point of the rotation of the hard disk bracket 110. In the present embodiment, the hard disk tray 110 can rotate by about 105 degrees with respect to the bracket 130, but the angle is not limited thereto.
Since the angle is larger than 90 degrees, the center of gravity of the hard disk holder 110 can be moved from one side (for example, the side of the hard disk holder 110 in fig. 1A) to the other side (for example, the side of the second hard disk region 32 in fig. 1A) of the rotation shaft (the retractable engaging member 120). Therefore, when the hard disk bracket 110 is flipped up to the position shown in fig. 6C relative to the bracket 130, the hard disk bracket 110 is not easily flipped back by itself, and the user does not need to hold the hard disk bracket 110 by hand, which is more convenient in operation.
It is worth mentioning that the torsion force is provided when the hard disk bracket 110 rotates relative to the bracket 130. In the present embodiment, one of the hard disk bracket 110 and the support 130 includes a protruding component. The protruding component is adapted to push against the hard disk carrier 110 or the support 130 having the recessed component during rotation of the hard disk carrier 110 relative to the support 130. The other of the hard disk holder 110 and the support 130 includes a concave component corresponding to the convex component, the concave component is located at the end point of the motion track of the convex component, and when the hard disk holder 110 rotates to the end point, the convex component is aligned to the concave component.
More specifically, referring to fig. 6A, in the present embodiment, the recess assembly includes a plurality of positioning holes 119 located on the hard disk tray 110. The protruding member is located on the bracket 130 and includes a plurality of protrusions 140 protruding from the second surface 131. In the present embodiment, the number of the bumps 140 is, for example, two, but not limited thereto. As shown in fig. 4, the protrusions 140 are beside the assembly channel 136 along the extending direction of the assembly channel 136.
As shown in fig. 6A, when the hard disk holder 110 is located at an initial position relative to the bracket 130, the protrusions 140 are located near the edge of the hard disk holder 110 and do not contact the hard disk holder 110. During the rotation of the hard disk tray 110 relative to the bracket 130 (fig. 6A-6B), one of the protrusions 140 (e.g., the upper protrusion 140 in fig. 6) contacts the first surface 111 of the hard disk tray 110 first, providing a friction force. As shown in fig. 6B, after the hard disk holder 110 is rotated to a specific angle (for example, greater than 70 degrees) relative to the bracket 130, the protrusions 140 contact the first surface 111 of the hard disk holder 110 together, so as to provide more friction.
Of course, in other embodiments, the protrusion element may only include a single protrusion 140 protruding from the second surface 131, and the recess element may only include a single positioning recess 119 corresponding to the protrusion 140. The number of the protruding element protrusions 140 and the number of the positioning holes 119 of the recessed element, and the form of the protruding element and the recessed element are not limited to the above.
Then, as shown in fig. 6C, when the hard disk tray 110 rotates to contact the stopper 132, the bump 140 falls into the positioning hole 119. The wall surface of the hard disk tray 110 beside the positioning concave hole 119 can be used as a limiting surface of the bump 140, which is helpful for making the hard disk tray 110 stably stay at the overturned position.
Fig. 7A to 7C are partial sectional views illustrating a positional relationship between the protrusion and the hard disk tray when the hard disk tray of fig. 4 rotates relative to the support. Referring to fig. 7A, in the present embodiment, the bump 140 includes a second base 142 disposed on the bracket 130 and a ball 144 disposed on the second base 142, and the ball 144 protrudes from the second surface 131. In the present embodiment, the protrusion 140 further optionally includes a second elastic member 146 located in the second seat 142 and linked with the ball 144. The second elastic element 146 is, for example, a spring, but may also be an elastic sheet, a compressed foam, etc., without being limited thereto.
As shown in fig. 7B, when the ball 144 is pushed, the second elastic member 146 may be compressed to make the ball 144 retract into the second seat 142, but the ball 144 may still contact with the first surface 111 of the hard disk bracket 110. As shown in fig. 7C, when the hard disk tray 110 rotates to the end, the ball 144 falls into the positioning recess 119. The designer can adjust the degree of the ball 144 retracting into the second seat 142 when being pushed by controlling the elastic coefficient of the second elastic element 146, so as to provide different torsion forces.
In an embodiment, the second elastic element 146 can be omitted, and the depth of the second seat 142 can be smaller, so that the ball 144 is kept on the second surface 131 which is partially protruded from the bracket 130. In this way, the ball 144 provides a greater friction force to the first surface 111 of the hard disk bracket 110 during the rotation of the hard disk bracket 110 relative to the bracket 130. In this embodiment, the designer can provide different amounts of torque by controlling the protrusion degree of the ball 144 on the second surface 131 of the bracket 130 or the contact area with the first surface 111. Of course, the form of the bump is not limited thereto.
Fig. 8 is a schematic partial cross-sectional view of a bump according to an embodiment of the invention. Referring to fig. 8, in the embodiment, the protrusion may also be a protruding portion 144a of the bracket 130, that is, the protruding portion 144a is formed by protruding a portion of the bracket 130, and similarly, the protruding portion 144a may also provide a friction force to the first surface 111 of the hard disk tray 110 during the rotation of the hard disk tray 110 and is positioned in the positioning concave hole 119 when the hard disk tray 110 rotates to the end. In the present embodiment, the designer can provide different torque forces by controlling the protruding degree of the protruding portion 144a on the second surface 131 of the bracket 130 or the contact area with the first surface 111.
In the present embodiment, the hard disk bracket 110 is engaged with the slot portion 137 of the bracket 130 by the retractable engaging member 120, so as to achieve the effect of quick detachment. In other embodiments, the retractable engaging member 120 and the slot portion 137 can be applied to other objects to achieve the effect of quick assembly and disassembly of the two objects, and the application field is not limited to the server chassis 10.
In an embodiment, the quick release device may also include a first quick release structure and a second quick release structure. The first quick release structure includes, for example, a first housing and a retractable engaging member 120 penetrating the first housing, and the second quick release structure includes, for example, a second housing having an assembling channel 136 and a engaging groove 137. In one embodiment, the first housing is, for example, a hard disk tray 110. The second housing is, for example, a bracket 130. In another embodiment, the first housing is, for example, a tablet computer, and the second housing is, for example, an input module having a keyboard and the like. Of course, the types of the first housing and the second housing are not limited thereto.
It should be noted that, since the retractable engaging member 120 can be used as a pivot to rotate the first casing relative to the second casing, the first casing can also be an upper casing of the notebook computer, and the second casing can also be a lower casing of the notebook computer. In addition, one of the first quick release structure and the second quick release structure may further include a protruding component (e.g., a bump 140), for example, the bump 140 is located on the second housing and faces the first housing, and during the rotation of the first housing relative to the second housing, the bump 140 may push against the first housing, so as to use the friction between the bump 140 and the first housing as a torsion during the rotation. In other words, the matching of the retractable engaging member 120 and the protrusion 140 can have a hinge (hinge) function, and compared to the conventional hinge structure, the matching of the retractable engaging member 120 and the protrusion 140 of the present embodiment can provide a friction force as a torque force with a relatively simple structure, and has a smaller volume and cost saving.
In addition, one of the first quick release structure and the second quick release structure may further include a recessed component (e.g., the positioning recess 119), and when the first housing rotates to the end point relative to the second housing, the protrusion 140 enters the positioning recess 119, so as to provide a fixing effect. Therefore, the application surface of the quick release device is not limited by the attached drawings.
In summary, the retractable engaging member is disposed on the hard disk bracket of the server chassis, and when a user wants to assemble the hard disk bracket on the bracket, the user only needs to enter the engaging portion of the retractable engaging member into the engaging portion along the edge of the assembling channel of the bracket, and the engaging portion is pressed against the engaging portion by the pulling force of the first elastic member, so that the assembly can be completed. When the user wants to remove the hard disk bracket from the bracket, the user can press the button of the retractable clamping piece to prevent the buckling part of the retractable clamping piece from abutting against the buckling groove part of the bracket, and then the hard disk bracket can be pulled up to enable the retractable clamping piece to leave the bracket along the assembling channel, so that the disassembly can be completed.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the above embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
