Moreover, not all illustrated acts or events are required to implement certain features and aspects of the present disclosure.
For the purposes of this embodiment, the singular includes the plural and vice versa, unless specifically stated otherwise, and where appropriate. The term "including" means "including but not limited to. Further, approximate terms such as "about", "almost", "substantially", etc. may be used herein to mean "at", "near", "almost at", "within 3% to 5", "within acceptable manufacturing tolerances", or any logical combination thereof. Similarly, the term "vertical" or "horizontal" is intended to additionally include within "3% to 5% of the vertical or horizontal orientation, respectively. Moreover, directional terms such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "above" and "below" are understood from the context of the article or element being referred to (e.g., from a common location of the article or element), or as described herein are intended to relate to an equivalent direction as depicted in the referenced figures.
Fig. 4 illustrates a perspective view of a rack module 200 according to certain features of the present disclosure. The rack module 200 includes a housing structure 202 and a tray structure 204. The housing structure 202 includes a plurality of channels 206, similar to the channels 110 discussed above in fig. 2. The tray structure 204 is connected to the housing structure 202 at a fixed end 208. The tray structure 204 further includes a free end 210 generally opposite the fixed end 208. The cradle module 200, which is generally formed by the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204, allows the tray structure 204 to rotate relative to the housing structure 202 generally in the direction of arrow 212. As discussed further below, the tray structure 204 may be rotated to provide access under the tray structure 204 with the rack module 200 within a chassis of a computing device. Thus, the entire rack module 200 need not be removed from the chassis to gain access to at least a portion of the chassis beneath the rack module 200.
According to some embodiments, the tray structure 204 may include one or more tray openings 214. Each of the tray openings 214 is configured to receive a fastener 216. In fig. 4, the fasteners 216 are shown as thumb screws, which allow a user to loosen and tighten the fasteners 216 without tools. However, the fasteners 216 may be various types of other fasteners other than thumb screws, such as machine screws (machine screws), bolts, and the like. As discussed further below with respect to fig. 13-16, the tray openings 214 are aligned with corresponding chassis openings within the chassis housing the rack modules 200. Fasteners 216 may extend through tray openings 214 to engage chassis openings in the chassis to secure tray structure 204 to the chassis. Since the tray structure 204 is fixed to the chassis, the tray structure 204 cannot rotate relative to the housing structure 202. As such, the tray structure 204 may be maintained in the closed position, as shown in fig. 4.
According to some embodiments, the tray structure 204 may include a handle 218. The handle 218 provides an area on the tray structure 204 for a user to grasp when handling the rack module 200 prior to inserting the rack module 200 into a computing device. The handle 218 also provides an area on the tray structure 204 for a user to grasp when rotating the tray structure 204 between the open position and the closed position in the direction of arrow 212, as described further below.
Fig. 5 illustrates a perspective view of the cradle module 200 of fig. 4 and the device 106 according to certain features of the present disclosure. The tray structure 204 is shown in the closed position in fig. 5. In the closed position, the device 106 discussed above with respect to fig. 2 may be inserted into the cradle module 200, and in particular, through the channel 206 of the housing structure 202. Fig. 5 also shows the printed circuit board 112 of fig. 2 attached to the tray structure 204. The printed circuit board 112 includes an interface 114. Thus, with the tray structure 204 in the closed position, the rack module 200 functions substantially the same as the conventional rack module 104 of fig. 1-3 due to the receiving device 106.
Fig. 6A illustrates another perspective view of the cradle module 200 of fig. 4, according to certain features of the present disclosure. Fig. 6B shows a perspective view of a detailed portion of fig. 6A, according to certain features of the present disclosure. Either the housing structure 202 or the tray structure 204, or both, may include fasteners 600 as in the case of fig. 6A and 6B. Each of the fasteners 600 is configured to engage the tray structure 204 with the housing structure 202 to maintain the tray structure 204 in the open position. Referring in particular to fig. 7A-7C, shown are views of the function of the fastener 600 of the rack module 200 according to certain features of the present disclosure. Fig. 7B and 7C are detailed perspective views of portions of the rack module 200 shown in fig. 7A. As shown in fig. 7A, the tray structure 204 is rotated to an open position relative to the housing structure 202. In the open position, the tray structure 204 is substantially perpendicular to the housing structure 202. To maintain the tray structure 204 in the open position, the fastener 600 engages the tray structure 204 with the housing structure 202. In particular, referring to fig. 7B and 7C, a fastener 600a is secured to the housing structure 202 and is in the form of a latch. The latch includes a fixed end 702a and a free end 704a, the fixed end 702a being attached to the housing structure 202. The free end 704a of the fastener 600a passes over the tray structure 204 and snaps into engagement with the latch opening 706b of the tray structure 204. Similarly, with continued reference to fig. 7B and with reference to fig. 7C, a fastener 600B is secured to the tray structure 204, and is also in the form of a latch. The latch includes a fixed end 702b and a free end 704b, the fixed end 702b being attached to the tray structure 204. The free end 704b of the fastener 600b passes over the housing structure 202 and engages the latch opening 706a of the tray structure 204. The foregoing operation of fastener 600a and fastener 600b maintains tray structure 204 in an open position relative to housing structure 202. To disengage the snap fasteners 600a and 600b, the user need only apply enough pressure to remove the free ends 704a and 704b of the fasteners 600a and 600b from the latch openings 706a and 706b, respectively.
Although both sides of the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204 are shown as including the fasteners 600a and 600b, the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204 may include the fasteners 600a and 600b on only one side. Furthermore, although both the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204 are shown as including the fastener 600a and the fastener 600b, only one of the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204 may include the fastener 600a or the fastener 600b. For example, the housing structure 202 may include fasteners 600a on one side of the rack module 200 and the tray structure 204 may include fasteners 600b on the other side of the rack module 200, with the necessary latch openings 706a and 706b on the housing structure 202 and tray structure 204, respectively. Further, although fastener 600a and fastener 600b are shown in the form of latches in fig. 7A-7C, fastener 600a and fastener 600b may take a variety of other configurations.
For example, fig. 8A and 8B show alternative arrangements for fasteners. In detail, fig. 8A and 8B show a rack module 800 having a housing structure 802 and a tray structure 804, and the rack module 800, the housing structure 802 and the tray structure 804 are identical to the rack module 200, the housing structure 202 and the tray structure 204 described above except for the following differences. Instead of fasteners 600 (fig. 6B), tray structure 804 includes posts 806 and housing structure 802 includes notches 808. When the tray structure 804 is rotated to an open position relative to the housing structure 802, the posts 806 form an interference fit with the notches 808, as shown in fig. 8B. The interference fit holds the tray structure 804 in the open position.
Although the posts 806 are shown and described as being on the tray structure 804, the posts 806 may alternatively be on the housing structure 802. In this case, the notches 808 may alternatively be on the tray structure 804. Furthermore, the posts 806 and notches 808 are shown on one side of the rack module 800 in fig. 8A and 8B. However, the posts 806 and notches 808 may also be on opposite sides of the rack module 800.
Fig. 9 illustrates a perspective view of a bottom surface of the rack module 200 of fig. 4, according to certain features of the present disclosure. According to some embodiments, the housing structure 202 further includes a support structure 900. The support structure 900 may be integrally formed with the housing structure 202 or coupled to the housing structure 202. The support structure 900 extends from the housing structure 202 to below the tray structure 204. The support structure 900 is configured to abut the tray structure 204 to limit rotation of the tray structure 204 relative to the housing structure 202 beyond the closed position in the direction of arrow 902, as shown in fig. 9. Thus, referring to fig. 10, the support structure 900 generally restricts the tray structure 204 from rotating clockwise beyond the flush setting (planar arrangement), with the housing structure 202 in the closed position. Although two support structures 900 are shown in fig. 9, the rack module 200 may include any number of support structures 900, such as one, two, three, four, five, and so forth.
Fig. 11A illustrates a perspective view of the cradle module 200 of fig. 4, according to certain features of the present disclosure. Fig. 11B shows a perspective view of a detailed portion of fig. 11A, according to certain features of the present disclosure. The fixed end 208 of the tray structure 204 and the housing structure 202 generally form an interface 1100, with the tray structure 204 configured to rotate about the interface 1100. A rod 1102 (fig. 11A) extends through the interface 1100 in the direction of arrow 1104 to form a hinge. The lever 1102 maintains the fixed end 208 of the tray structure 204 in engagement with the housing structure 202.
According to some embodiments, the rod 1102 may be secured to the housing structure 202 or the tray structure 204 to maintain the rod 1102 within the interface 1100, such as welding or adhering the rod 1102. Alternatively, referring to fig. 12A and 12B, the housing structure 202 may include a pair of flanges 1200 (fig. 12B). When the lever 1102 is within the interface 1100, the flange 1200 extends from the housing structure 202 on the opposite side of where the lever 1102 (fig. 11A) is located. Each flange 1200 supports a retainer 1202 (shown in the exploded view of fig. 12A), the retainer 1202 being located on the flange 1200 and/or coupled to the flange 1200. According to some embodiments, the holder 1202 may be an elastomeric element. The retaining member 1202 prevents or limits the lever 1102 from disengaging from the interface 1100.
Fig. 13-16 illustrate steps associated with accessing portions of a chassis 1302 of a computing device 1300 based on the advantages of a rack module 200, in accordance with certain features of the present disclosure. In particular, FIG. 13 shows a computing device 1300 having a chassis 1302, the chassis 1302 including two generally parallel and opposing side panels 1304. As described above, the rack module 200 is coupled to two opposing side panels 1304, similar to the conventional rack module 104, as shown in fig. 3. Thus, an area workspace is defined below the rack modules 200 within the chassis 1302, as described further below. To access the workspace, one of the first steps is to loosen the fasteners 216 (if present) that secure the tray structure 204 of the rack module 200 to the chassis 1302.
Next, referring to fig. 14, the device 106 is removed from the channel 206 of the housing structure 202 in the direction of arrow 1400. Because the device 106 is long enough to extend beyond the tray structure 204, interfering with the rotation of the tray structure 204, the device 106 must be removed.
Next, referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 shows a perspective view of computing device 1300 in which tray structure 204 is rotated in the direction of arrow 1500 to an open position. Further, fig. 16 shows a top view of the tray structure 204 in an open position. The tray structure 204 in the open position provides a workspace 1502 into the chassis 1302 below the tray structure 204. The workspace 1502 may include a base panel 1600 (fig. 16) of the chassis 1302 or one or more components 1602 (fig. 16) connected to the base panel 1600, such as one or more processors, one or more memory devices, a printed circuit board (e.g., motherboard or daughter board), and the like. Thus, a user desiring access to the workspace 1502 (to access the base panel 1600, or the component 1602 connected to the base panel, or any other element within the workspace 1502) may access the workspace 1502 by simply rotating the tray structure 204 without removing the entire rack module 200 from the chassis 1302. Furthermore, once the reasons for accessing the workspace 1502 are completed, the steps shown and described with respect to fig. 13-16 may be performed in reverse to place the rack module 200 back in the operational, closed position.
Although the disclosed embodiments have been illustrated and described with respect to one or more implementations, equivalent alterations and modifications will occur to others skilled in the art upon the reading and understanding of this specification and the annexed drawings. Furthermore, while a particular feature of the utility model may have been disclosed with respect to only one of several implementations, such feature may be combined with one or more other features of the other implementations as may be desired and advantageous for any given or particular application.
While various embodiments of the present disclosure have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example only, and not limitation. Many variations may be made to the disclosed embodiments in accordance with the disclosure without departing from the spirit or scope of the disclosure.
