Detailed Description

In the following description, numerous implementation details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that these implementation details are not necessary in some embodiments of the invention and should not be used to limit the invention. In addition, for the sake of simplicity, some conventional structures and elements are shown in the drawings in a simple schematic manner. In addition, the dimensions of the various elements in the drawings are not necessarily to scale, for the convenience of the reader.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a server device 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the server 300 of fig. 1 pulled out of the rack 100. Fig. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of fig. 1 taken along line AA. As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the server apparatus 10 includes a rack 100 and a server 300. The rack 100 includes a frame module 110, two slide rails 160, and an upper cover 200. The frame module 110 includes an inner space 120. The rail portions 160 are relatively fixed to the frame module 110, respectively, such that the internal space 120 is located between the rail portions 160. The upper cover 200 is fixedly coupled to the frame module 110 and covers the inner space 120. The server 300 is removably located in the rack 100, and more specifically, the server 300 includes a housing 310 and two supporting portions 320. The chassis 310 is movably located within the interior space 120 of the rack 100. The supporting portions 320 are respectively fixed to two opposite sides of the housing 310 and are respectively slidably connected to the sliding rail portions 160.

Thus, when the serviceman moves the housing 310 of the server 300 into the internal space 120 of the rack 100 in a receiving direction C1, the upper lid member 200 and the housing 310 start to be coupled with each other, thereby serving as an upper lid of the housing 310 of the server 300 and directly covering the receiving slot 313 of the housing 310. Therefore, foreign matter does not fall into the storage groove 313 of the housing 310, and the influence on the electronic components in the server 300 is reduced.

On the contrary, since the upper cover 200 is fixed to the rack 100 and there is no engagement mechanism between the upper cover 200 and the housing 310, the upper cover 200 is not linked with the server 300. Thus, when the housing 310 of the server 300 is moved out of the internal space 120 of the rack 100 in a moving direction C2, the top cover 200 is separated from the housing 310 and exposes the receiving slot 313 of the housing 310. Therefore, the maintenance personnel do not need to spend extra time to take down the upper cover member 200, thereby not only saving maintenance time, manpower and cost, but also not occupying field space.

More specifically, in the embodiment, the cross section of the chassis 310 is U-shaped, and the chassis 310 includes a bottom plate 311 and two partition plates 312. The two partitions 312 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the bottom plate 311 and extend toward a first direction D1 (e.g., upward), and the bottom plate 311 and the partitions 312 define a receiving slot 313. The supporting portions 320 are fixed to the surfaces of the partition plates 312 facing away from the receiving grooves 313. More specifically, the bottom plate 311 has a carrying surface 311A and a back-facing surface 311B opposite to each other. The spacers 312 are respectively connected to two opposite sides (e.g., the long sides 211) of the carrying surface 311A. The chassis 310 may serve as a tray for supporting various electronic components (not shown) in the server 300, such that the electronic components are accommodated in the accommodating grooves 313 and placed on the supporting surface 311A of the bottom plate 311, so as to support and bear the weight of the electronic components through the supporting surface 311A. The supporting portions 320 are respectively located on one surface of the partition plates 312 opposite to the receiving groove 313, and are configured to be erected on the frame module 110 of the rack 100, so that the bottom plate 311 is suspended on the rack 100. The supporting portion 320 is, for example, an outer rail, and the sliding rail portion 160 is, for example, an inner rail. Therefore, the chassis 310 can be removably disposed on the frame module 110 by the engagement of the outer rail and the inner rail.

The cross section of the upper cover 200 is U-shaped, and the upper cover 200 includes a plate 210 and two side plates 220. The side plates 220 are respectively located at two opposite sides of the plate body 210 and extend together in a second direction D2 (e.g., below). The plate body 210 and the side plates 220 define a receiving space 230, and the second direction D2 and the first direction D1 are opposite to each other. More specifically, the plate body 210 has two long sides 211 and two short sides 212. Each long side 211 is located between the two short sides 212 and is adjacent to the two short sides 212. Each short side 212 is located between the two long sides 211 and is adjacent to the two long sides 211. The side plates 220 are respectively connected to the two long sides 211 of the plate 210 and extend toward the bottom plate 311 of the chassis 310. Therefore, when the housing 310 of the server 300 moves into the inner space 120, the partitions 312 move into the receiving space 230 of the upper cover 200, and each partition 312 slides along one of the side panels 220 of the upper cover 200 into the receiving space 230.

In addition, the frame module 110 includes a plurality (e.g., 2) of first vertical posts 130, a plurality (e.g., 2) of second vertical posts 140, and two sliding rail brackets 150. The first posts 130 are parallel to and spaced apart from each other. These second posts 140 are parallel to and spaced apart from each other. An interior space 120 is defined between the first uprights 130 and the second uprights 140. One of the rail brackets 150 is fixedly connected to the first columns 130, and the rail bracket 150 is perpendicular to the long axis direction of each first column 130, the other rail bracket 150 is fixedly connected to the second columns 140, and the other rail bracket 150 is perpendicular to the long axis direction of each second column 140. The rail portions 160 are fixed to the surfaces of the rail brackets 150 facing each other, respectively.

Upper cover member 200 is fixedly coupled to one of first upright 130 and one of second upright 140. More specifically, the upper lid member 200 further includes two connection members 240. The connecting members 240 are L-shaped, and one end of each of the connecting members 240 is locked at the joint of each of the side edges and the same short side edge 212, and the other end extends in a direction opposite to each other. The upper cover member 200 is respectively locked on the first upright 130 and the second upright 140 through the connecting members 240. The upper cover 200 is located above the rack brackets 150 and the chassis 310, and each side plate 220 of the upper cover 200 and one of the rack brackets 150 keep a distance G therebetween.

Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the upper cover 200 and the frame module 110 of fig. 1. As shown in fig. 2 and 4, the frame module 110 further includes two supporting frames 170. The supporting frames 170 are respectively fixed on the sliding rail brackets 150 and extend towards the first direction D1 together. The side plates 220 of the upper cover 200 are fixedly connected to the corresponding first and second uprights 130 and 140, respectively, and the side plates 220 of the upper cover 200 are slidably connected to the supporting brackets 170, respectively.

For example, in the present embodiment, each supporting frame 170 has a sliding slot 171. The sliding grooves 171 face each other, and each sliding groove 171 has a notch 172. The side plates 220 of the upper cover 200 each have at least one (e.g., 2) slider 250. The sliding block 250 enters the sliding groove 171 from the notch 172 of one of the sliding grooves 171, and is slidably located in the sliding groove 171.

Thus, when the installer wants to install the top lid 200 on the frame module 110, the installer first enters the sliding blocks 250 of the top lid 200 into the sliding slots 171 from the notches 172 and continues to move in the receiving direction C1, and finally, the connecting members 240 of the top lid 200 are respectively locked on the first upright 130 and the second upright 140 through the bolts B.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the upper cover member 200 may be all locked to the first upright 130 and the second upright 140.

Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating a connection relationship between the supporting frame 170 and the sliding rail bracket 150 of the server device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, each supporting frame 170 is directly locked on one of the sliding rail brackets 150 through a bolt B, as shown in fig. 5, the embodiment of fig. 5 is substantially the same as the embodiment of fig. 2, and one of the differences is: the frame module 110 also includes an external accessory 180. Each outer attachment 180 is locked to one of the rail brackets 150. Each support bracket 170 is directly fastened to one of the external fittings 180 by bolts B. Thus, the rail bracket 150 can continue to use the original specification without modifying the original specification.

Finally, the above-described embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention, and those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the scope of the appended claims.
