Description

Drawing mechanism of storage device

Technical Field

The invention relates to an extraction device, in particular to an extraction mechanism of a storage device.

Background

Generally, it is often necessary to provide a cloud storage space for storing data or files on a cloud system according to a client application, and particularly, the use of distributed computing systems (e.g., cloud computing) is becoming more and more common in consumer and enterprise data storage. This is called cloud data storage (cloud data storage) which uses a large number of network storage servers configured to organize a unified (unified) data repository (repository), cpu (central processing unit) and banks (banks) or arrays (arrays) by concatenating a plurality of hard disk drives (hard disk drives) or solid-state drives (solid-state drives). Typically, the servers are configured to facilitate large-scale operations, e.g., a single cloud-based data storage system may contain thousands or tens of thousands of storage servers, either stacked (in-stacked) or mounted in arrays on a rack. Therefore, the reduction of the required space of any server can significantly reduce the overall size and operation cost of the cloud data storage system.

In one conventional hard disk drawer, a pull handle is rotatably connected to a panel of the drawer. The pull handle is additionally provided with a buckle hook and a pushing part, and the buckle hook can hook the supporting column of the panel, so that the pull handle can be fixed on the supporting column without shaking in a folding state. When the hard disk in the extracting box is to be replaced, the pull handle on the panel of the extracting box is rotated, the pushing part can be abutted against the case or the cabinet, so that the extracting box and the hard disk are moved out of the case or the cabinet, and the hard disk is replaced conveniently. However, the rotation of the pull handle requires a certain operation space, and the size of the chassis or the cabinet is increased, which causes inconvenience in detaching the hard disk drive. Furthermore, the removable hard disk drive is removed from the entire removable cartridge, and the multiple hard disk drives are removed from the multiple removable cartridges, which also requires consideration of the size of the removable cartridge for the size of the cabinet.

Detailed Description

In order to provide a further understanding and appreciation for the structural features and advantages achieved by the present invention, the following detailed description of the presently preferred embodiments is provided:

in view of the difficulty of directly disassembling the storage device in the conventional extraction mechanism, the present invention provides an extraction mechanism for a storage device to solve the problems of the prior art, such as the moving space and the volume.

The characteristics and the associated structure of the extracting mechanism of the storage device according to the present invention will be further described as follows:

first, please refer to fig. 1A to 2B, which are a top view, a bottom view, an assembly view, and another assembly view of an embodiment of the present invention. As shown, the drawing mechanism 10 of the storage device of the present invention includes an upper base plate 12, a bottom plate 14, a sliding plate 16 and a control handle 18. Wherein, the upper base plate 12 is provided with a sliding notch 122 on a first side D1, a second side D2 and a third side D3 of the upper base plate are respectively provided with a fixed side plate 124, the inner side of the fixed side plate 124 is provided with a plurality of fixing pieces 126, a plurality of extending pieces 128 are provided below the upper base plate 12; the bottom plate 14 is disposed below the upper substrate 12, the bottom plate 14 has a plurality of first openings 142 and a second opening 144; the sliding plate 16 has a first stop member 162 (e.g., a stop piece) at the first side D1, a pivot member 164 extending from the second side D2, and a third opening 166 formed on the pivot member 164.

The extending members 128 are slidably disposed in the first openings 142, and the second opening 144 is located between the first openings 142, that is, the first openings 142 of the present embodiment are located at four corners of the bottom plate 14, and besides, the extending members 128 are disposed correspondingly around the bottom plate 14, so that the extending members 128 are slidably disposed in the first openings 142, and the bottom plate 14 is slidably disposed under the upper substrate 12, and the extending member 128 of the present embodiment includes a support pillar 128A and a fixing baffle 128B. The first stopper 162 is slidably disposed in the sliding recess 122 and the pivot member 164 is slidably disposed in the second opening 144, so that the sliding plate 16 slides between the upper substrate 12 and the bottom plate 14, and the control handle 18 is pivotally disposed between the upper substrate 12 and the bottom plate 14 and is also slidably disposed in the third opening 166 of the pivot member 164 of the sliding plate 16, so as to control the sliding of the sliding plate 16. Therefore, the pivoting of the control handle 18 controls the sliding of the sliding plate 16, and further controls the sliding of the first stop member 16 in the sliding notch 122.

As shown in fig. 3A and referring to fig. 1A to fig. 2B, based on the upper base plate 12 for carrying the storage device SD, the first stopper 16 slides back to stop at the connection position of the storage device SD, and further, the control handle 18 is further provided with a second stopper 182 at a fourth side D4, so that the second stopper 182 stops the storage device SD at the fourth side D4. As shown in fig. 3B and 3C, the control handle 18 is pivoted toward the second side D2, so that the first stopper 162 is pushed forward along the sliding recess 122 to detach the storage device SD, wherein the control handle 18 drives the sliding plate 16, thereby driving the bottom plate 14 to slide. This allows the above-mentioned withdrawing structure 10 of the present invention to easily remove the storage device SD by pushing the first stopper 162 along the sliding recess 122.

Referring to fig. 2A and 2B, the sliding plate 16 has a protruding member 168 disposed on the third side D3, the bottom plate 14 further has a fourth opening 146 disposed on the third side D3, the protruding member 168 is slidably disposed on the fourth opening 146, the fourth opening 146 is smaller than the second opening 144, the control handle 18 is slidably disposed on the third opening 166 of the pivot member 164, and the protruding member 168 is slidably disposed on the fourth opening 146, so that the control handle 18 controls the sliding plate 16 to slide between the bottom plate 14 and the upper substrate 12, the pivot member 164 is driven to slide on the second opening 144, the first stopper 162 is driven to slide on the sliding recess 122, and further, the pivot member 164 drives the bottom plate 14 to slide according to the extending members 128. In this embodiment, the pivoting member 164 further includes a pivoting stop 164A connected to a pivoting post 18A of the control handle 18, and the upper base 12 is provided with a pivoting post 12A inserted into a pivoting hole 18B of the control handle 18.

In addition, the bottom plate 14 is further provided with a first concave portion O1 at the fourth side D4, the fourth side D4 of the upper base plate 12 is provided with a second concave portion O2, and the first concave portion O1 and the second concave portion O2 correspond to a hand-held portion H1 of the control handle 18. Since the fixing members 126 are elastic fixing members for elastically fixing the storage device SD mounted on the upper substrate 12, the elasticity of the elastic fixing members can reduce shock and vibration (shock and vibration) caused by the hard disk during high-speed operation. As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the extraction mechanism 10 of the present invention can be installed in the vertical cabinet SET1 or SET2 based on the machine location requirement.

In summary, the drawing mechanism of the storage device of the present invention provides the control handle to control the sliding plate to slide between the upper substrate and the bottom plate, so that the sliding plate extends to the first stop member on the upper substrate for rapidly disassembling the storage device assembled on the upper substrate, thereby simplifying the operation space and the volume of the drawing mechanism.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, which is defined by the appended claims.
