As shown in fig. 3, the hard disk 122 may be inserted into the bracket body 20 through the open end of the bracket body 20 toward the direction of the end plate 23, and when assembled, the connector 1221 of the hard disk 122 is located at the end far from the end plate 23, so as to avoid interference to the insertion and extraction of the hard disk 122. In actual setting, the hard disk 122 may be fixedly connected to the bracket body 20 by a fastener such as a screw.

The linkage mechanism 30 is arranged on one surface of the first side plate 21 of the bracket body 20, which is away from the second side plate 22, and the linkage mechanism 30 comprises a positioning rod 31, a transmission structure 32 and a handle 33; the positioning rod 31 can slide along the insertion and extraction direction of the hard disk 122 relative to the first side plate 21, and the positioning rod 31 is used for fixedly connecting with the chassis 110; the first end of the transmission structure 32 is connected with the positioning rod 31, and the second end of the transmission structure 32 is connected with the first side plate 21; the handle 33 is connected with the second end of the transmission structure 32, the handle 33 has a movable position, when the handle 33 is in the movable position, the plane of the handle 33 intersects with the first side plate 21, and the transmission structure 32 can be driven to act by rotating the handle 33 so as to drive the bracket body 20 to slide along the insertion and extraction direction of the hard disk 122 relative to the positioning rod 31.

By adopting the scheme, the linkage mechanism 30 is positioned at the top of the vertical hard disk module 120, when the vertical hard disk module 120 is assembled, after being downwards installed in the installation position in the case 110, the positioning rod 31 can be fixedly connected with the case 110, so that the relative positions of the positioning rod 31 and the case 110 are fixed, and the handle 33 at the movable position is rotated to drive the transmission structure 32 to act, so that the bracket body 20 provided with the hard disk 122 is driven to slide along the insertion and extraction direction of the hard disk 122 relative to the positioning rod 31, and the bracket body 20 provided with the hard disk 122 is driven to slide along the insertion and extraction direction relative to the case 110 by the positioning rod 31 and the case 110 due to the fixed positions of the transmission structure 32, so that the insertion and extraction operation of connectors at the corresponding positions on the hard disk 122 and the case 110 is realized.

In the above-mentioned scheme, the linkage mechanism 30 is disposed on the first side plate 21 of the bracket body 20, the normal direction of the surface of the first side plate 21 is parallel to the direction (i.e., the up-down direction) in which the hard disk module 120 is mounted in the chassis 110, and is perpendicular to the insertion-and-extraction direction (i.e., the front-and-rear direction) of the hard disk module 122, the linkage mechanism 30 is mounted on the upper surface of the first side plate 21, when the handle 33 is in the active position, the surface of the handle 33 intersects with the first side plate 21, in other words, the handle 33 is located in the upper space of the first side plate 21, and when the hard disk module 120 is operated in the insertion-and-extraction direction, the operation space of the handle 33 is located in the upper space, so that the space in the front-and-rear direction (i.e., the insertion-and-extraction direction) of the hard disk module 120 is not limited in the front-and-rear direction (i.e., the side space of the hard disk module 120) when the hard disk module 120 is assembled and removed, the difficulty of the assembly of the hard disk module 120 is reduced, and the space utilization in the chassis 110 can be raised.

In one implementation, the first end of the positioning rod 31 may be provided with a positioning structure 311, and the positioning rod 31 and the chassis 110 may be fixedly connected through the positioning structure 311.

Thus, the first end of the transmission structure 32 is the first end of the first link 321, and the second end of the transmission structure 32 is the second end of the second link 322. The hinge axis of the first connecting rod 321 and the positioning rod 31, the hinge axis of the second connecting rod 322 and the first connecting rod 321, and the hinge axis of the second connecting rod 322 and the first side plate 21 are all perpendicular to the plane where the first side plate 21 is located.

In practical application, after the position of the positioning rod 31 is fixed, the handle 33 drives the second connecting rod 322 to rotate, and when the second connecting rod 322 rotates, the first connecting rod 321 is driven to rotate, because the position of the positioning rod 31 is fixed, in order to adapt to the position change of the second connecting rod 322 and the first connecting rod 321, the bracket body 20 and the positioning rod 31 slide relatively, and because the sliding direction of the bracket body and the positioning rod is limited to the inserting and pulling direction of the hard disk 122, the bracket body 20 and the hard disk 122 arranged on the bracket body 20 are driven to slide along the inserting and pulling direction together, so that the inserting and pulling operation of the hard disk 122 is realized.

When specifically arranged, the handle 33 is hinged with the second end of the second connecting rod 322 to switch between the fixed position and the movable position, and the hinge axis of the handle 33 and the second connecting rod 322 can be parallel to the first side plate 21; as shown in fig. 4 and 6, when the handle 33 is at the fixed position, the handle 33 is stacked on the first side plate 21 and is fixed relative to the first side plate 21, and at this time, the handle 33 cannot move relative to the bracket body 20, and accordingly, the handle 33 cannot drive the second link 322 to move; as shown in fig. 5 and 7, when the handle 33 is in the active position, the fixation between the handle 33 and the first side plate 21 is released, the handle 33 can move relative to the first side plate 21, at this time, the position of the handle 33 is not limited, and the handle 33 can drive the second connecting rod 322 to rotate. In this way, the handle 33 can be locked in the scenes of storage or transportation, i.e. the handle 33 is fixed on the first side plate 21, so that the handle 33 is prevented from shaking, the storage of the hard disk support 121 or the hard disk module 120 is facilitated, the handle 33 can be unlocked in the assembly process of the hard disk module 120, the plugging operation in the connector between the hard disk module 120 and the chassis 110 is realized through the operation of the handle 33, and the handle 33 is locked after the hard disk module 120 is assembled, so that the assembly of the server 100 in a server system is facilitated.

The switching of the handle 33 between the fixed position and the movable position is the switching of the position of the handle 33 relative to the first side plate 21 of the bracket body 20, without affecting the assembly or disassembly between the hard disk 122 and the bracket body 20.

Referring to fig. 8 together, fig. 8 is an exploded view of the hard disk holder shown in fig. 7.

In this embodiment, the first side plate 21 is provided with a sliding slot 211 at an end far away from the end plate 23, and the positioning rod 31 of the linkage mechanism 30 is slidably matched with the sliding slot 211, and the extending direction of the sliding slot 211 is the insertion and extraction direction of the hard disk 122. The sliding groove 211 can guide the sliding of the bracket body 20 relative to the positioning rod 31, so as to ensure that the bracket body 20 and the hard disk 122 slide along the insertion and extraction direction during operation, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the assembly of the hard disk module 120.

Specifically, the first end of the positioning rod 31 passes through the sliding slot 211 and extends out of the first side plate 21, so as to be convenient for limiting connection with the chassis 110 during operation. In one implementation, the cross section of the sliding slot 211 has an inverted T shape, and in addition to guiding the sliding movement of the positioning rod 31 and the bracket body 20, the positions of the positioning rod 31 and the bracket body 20 in the up-down direction can be limited so as to prevent the positioning rod 31 from being separated from the bracket body 20.

The axis direction of the rotation shaft 37 may be parallel to the first side plate 21, and when the rotation shaft 37 is specifically arranged, the first end of the handle 33 is rotationally connected with the second connecting rod 322 through the rotation shaft 37, so that when the handle 33 is in the active position, the second end of the handle 33 is a free end, and the handle 33 can rotate around the rotation shaft 37 to enable the second end of the handle 33 to move away from the first side plate 21, i.e. the second end of the handle 33 is located in the space above the first side plate 21, so that the plane where the handle 33 is located intersects the first side plate 21, and when the handle 33 drives the transmission structure 32 to act, the space above the hard disk support 121 is occupied.

When the handle 33 and the first side plate 21 are at the fixed positions, the relative sliding direction of the stopper 34 and the handle 33 may be set to coincide with the insertion and extraction direction of the hard disk 122.

In practical arrangement, the handle 33 may have a groove structure, and the limiting member 34 may be located between the handle 33 and the first side plate 21, so as to reasonably utilize space.

In one implementation, a stop structure is provided between the limiting member 34 and the handle 33 to limit the limiting position of the sliding movement of the limiting member 34 relative to the handle 33, so as to avoid the jamming of the related structure caused by excessive sliding movement of the limiting member 34 relative to the handle 33.

In other implementations, the positions of stop hole 331 and stop block 342 may be interchanged, i.e., stop hole 331 may be provided on stop 34 and stop block 342 may be provided on handle 33. The number, arrangement position, etc. of the stopper holes 331 and the stopper pieces 342, which are matched with each other, can be adjusted according to actual needs.

In one implementation, an elastic member 35 may be disposed between the stopper 34 and the handle 33, where one end of the elastic member 35 abuts against the handle 33 and the other end abuts against the stopper 34, and the elastic member 35 is capable of applying an elastic force to the stopper 34 so that the stopper 34 can be maintained in a locked position with respect to the handle 33. Thus, when no external force acts on the limiting member 34, the limiting member 34 is kept at the locking position relative to the handle 33, and when the handle 33 and the first side plate 21 are in the locking state, the elastic member 35 can ensure that the handle 33 is at the fixing position relative to the first side plate 21, so that the handle 33 is prevented from being separated from the first side plate 21 to shake.

In actual setting, the handle 33 may be provided with an opening 332, so that a part of the structure of the limiting member 34 is exposed, which is convenient for manually applying force to the limiting member 34, so that the limiting member 34 slides relative to the handle 33.

In actual setting, the first clamping portion 341 may be disposed on a surface of the limiting member 34 facing the first side plate 21, the first clamping portion 341 may be in a hook form, the second clamping portion 212 may be disposed on a surface of the first side plate 21 facing the limiting member 34, the second clamping portion 212 may also be in a hook form, the first clamping portion 341 has an upward clamping surface, the second clamping portion 212 has a downward clamping surface, and when the clamping is limited, the clamping surface of the first clamping portion 341 abuts against the clamping surface of the second clamping portion 212, thereby limiting the relative positions of the limiting member 34 and the first side plate 21 in the up-down direction, and further realizing position locking of the handle 33 and the first side plate 21. As shown in fig. 8 to 10, to facilitate the cooperation between the first clamping portion 341 and the second clamping portion 212, the first side plate 21 further has an avoidance hole 213, so that the first clamping portion 341 extends into the avoidance hole 213 to cooperate with the second clamping portion 212.

In one implementation, when the limiting member 34 is in the locking position relative to the handle 33, the limiting member 34 has a protrusion 343 extending out of the handle 33, and a clamping hole 1121 matching with the protrusion 343 may be provided at a position corresponding to the front partition 112, as shown in fig. 10, so that, after the hard disk module 120 is assembled, the protrusion 343 of the limiting member 34 may be inserted into the clamping hole 1121 of the front partition 112, so as to limit the relative positions of the hard disk module 120 and the front partition 112, and improve the reliability of assembling the hard disk module 120.

Referring to fig. 11 together, fig. 11 is a schematic structural diagram of a mounting position corresponding to a single hard disk module in an embodiment.

In this embodiment, the positioning rod 31 of the linkage mechanism 30 is disposed far from the side where the end plate 23 is located, and when the positioning rod is actually disposed, the positioning structure 311 of the positioning rod 31 can be positioned and connected with the corresponding structure of the installation position in the chassis 110, for example, a structure matched with the positioning structure 311 of the positioning rod 31 is disposed on the rear partition 113 on the same side as the positioning rod 31.

In the illustrated example, the positioning structure 311 is a positioning pin mounted on the positioning rod 31, and accordingly, the rear partition 113 may be provided with a positioning hole 1131 engaged with the positioning pin, as shown in fig. 11. In other implementations, the locating pins and locating holes 1131 may be reversed, i.e., locating pins on the rear bulkhead 113 and locating holes on the locating bar 31.

In one implementation manner, in order to guide the installation position of the hard disk module 120, the hard disk module 120 is prevented from deviating in the left-right direction, so that the hard disk module 120 cannot be plugged in the front-rear direction, each installation position on the front partition 122 is correspondingly provided with a guide structure, as shown in fig. 11, the guide structure comprises four guide protrusions 1122, two groups of guide protrusions 1122 are arranged in the left-right direction of the front partition 122, each group of guide protrusions 1122 is arranged in the up-down direction, when the hard disk module 120 is installed in the installation position of the chassis 110 from top to bottom, the position in the left-right direction is limited by the two groups of guide protrusions 1122, wherein each guide protrusion 1122 can be formed by punching a hole structure formed on the front partition 122 to the direction of the rear partition 123, and the hole structure is further beneficial to heat dissipation of the hard disk module 120. In other implementations, the guide structure on the front bulkhead 122 may be other forms, such as a guide groove that may be provided to extend in the up-down direction.

FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the handle after plugging the hard disk module to a fixed position in a specific application; fig. 18 is a top view of fig. 17.

In the hard disk module 120, the connector 1221 of the hard disk 122 is far away from the side of the end plate 23 of the bracket body 20, when the connector plugged with the hard disk 122 is disposed on the rear partition 113 of the chassis 110, the side of the end plate 23 is located at the front side of the chassis 110 when the hard disk module 120 is assembled, and the side of the connector 1221 of the hard disk 122 is located at the rear side of the chassis 110, and the assembly process of the hard disk module 120 is described below by taking the assembly direction as an illustration.

As shown in fig. 12, the front end of the hard disk module 120 is fitted down into the mounting position between the front partition 112 and the rear partition 113 along the guide structure of the front partition 112.

At this time, the handle 33 may be at a movable position, and the handle 33 may be movable relative to the first side plate 21, so that the protrusion 343 of the limiter 34 may not interfere with the front partition 112 when the handle 33 is at a fixed position. The second end of the handle 33 adjacent the front bulkhead 112 may be pivoted upwardly away from the first side panel 21.

As shown in fig. 13, after the hard disk module 120 is installed, the positioning structure 311 of the positioning rod 31 of the linkage mechanism 30 is in limit connection with the rear partition 113, so that the relative position of the positioning rod 31 and the chassis 110 is fixed, at this time, a distance is provided between the connectors on the hard disk module 120 and the rear partition 113 in the front-rear direction, and the connectors on the hard disk 122 and the rear partition 113 are in an un-plugged state. The connector structure on the rear partition 113 is not shown in the figure for clarity of illustration of the relative positional relationship between the hard disk module 120 and the rear partition 113. At this time, the linkage mechanism 30 is positioned as shown in fig. 14, and the handle 33 is in the movable first position.

After fixing the positions of the positioning rod 31 and the rear partition 113 relatively, an operator can directly pull the handle 33 to drive the second connecting rod 322 to rotate, so as to drive the first connecting rod 321 to rotate, and further enable the bracket body 20 and the hard disk 122 to slide along the plugging direction relative to the positioning rod 31, that is, the bracket body 20 and the hard disk 122 slide backward to the rear partition 113 to realize plugging operation of the hard disk 122, the state of the hard disk 122 after plugging with the connector of the rear partition 113 is shown in fig. 15 and 16, and at this time, the handle 33 is in the movable second position.

In contrast to fig. 13 and 15, before the plugging, the front wall of the hard disk module 120 contacts the front partition 112, a distance is provided between the rear wall of the hard disk module 120 and the rear partition 113, after the plugging, the hard disk module 120 moves to the rear side for a distance, the front wall of the hard disk module 120 leaves the front partition 112, and the connector of the hard disk 122 at the rear end is in a plugging state with the connector of the rear partition 113.

Comparing fig. 14 and 16, in the illustrated orientation, the operation of the linkage mechanism 30 upon plugging operation is as follows: the handle 33 is rotated clockwise, so as to drive the second connecting rod 322 to rotate clockwise around the hinging point of the second connecting rod 322 and the first side plate 21, and drive the first connecting rod 321 to rotate anticlockwise around the hinging point of the first connecting rod 321 and the second connecting rod 322, and the bracket body 20 moves towards the plugging direction, namely the rear side where the rear partition plate 113 is located under the rotation action of the first connecting rod 321 and the second connecting rod 322 due to the fact that the position of the positioning rod 31 is unchanged.

In fig. 13 and 14, the handle 33 is in the movable first position, and in fig. 15 and 16, the handle 33 is in the movable second position, it being understood that the movable position of the handle 33 is not a fixed point position.

After the hard disk 122 is plugged into the connector by rotating the handle 33, as shown in fig. 15 and 16, the handle 33 is still in a movable position, and then the handle 33 can be switched from the movable position to a fixed position to limit the degree of freedom of the handle 33, so that the handle 33 is prevented from shaking or misoperation of the handle 33 to unplug the hard disk 122 from the connector.

The state after the handle 33 is switched from the movable second position of fig. 15 and 16 to the fixed position is shown in fig. 17 and 18.

In comparison with fig. 15, 16 and 17, 18, the operation of switching the handle 33 from the active position to the fixed position is as follows: the second end of the handle 33, which is close to the front partition 112, is turned toward the side where the first side plate 21 is located, that is, the second end of the handle 33 is turned downward, so that the handle 33 is overlapped on the first side plate 21, and the handle 33 is fixed on the first side plate 21, so that the handle 33 cannot be turned freely, and the hard disk 122 is ensured to be in a position for plugging with the connector.

The handle 33 and the first side plate 21 may be fixed by operating the limiting member 34, specifically, in the process of rotating the second end of the handle 33 downward, a force may be manually applied to the limiting member 34, so that the limiting member 34 slides in the direction of the unlocking position relative to the handle 33, that is, the limiting member 34 slides backward, the limiting position of the limiting member 34 sliding backward is that the stop block 342 abuts against the second stop surface 3312 of the stop hole 331, so that the first clamping portion 341 of the limiting member 34 conveniently extends into the avoidance hole 213 of the first side plate 21, and simultaneously, the protrusion 343 of the limiting member 34 is driven to move backward, so that the handle 33 and the limiting member 34 can be placed in one side of the front partition plate 112 facing the rear partition plate 113, when the handle 33 is superposed on the first side plate 21, after the first clamping portion 341 of the limiting member 34 extends into the hole 213, the force applied to the limiting member 34 can be cancelled, and the limiting member 34 slides forward relative to the handle 33 until the stop block 342 abuts against the first surface 1 of the stop hole 331 under the elastic force of the elastic member 35, and the first clamping portion 341 abuts against the first side surface 331 of the first side plate 21, and the front partition plate 341 abuts against the first clamping portion 341 of the front partition plate 112, and the front partition plate 112 is fixed.

When the hard disk module 120 needs to be detached from the chassis 110, the action of detaching the hard disk module 120 is performed reversely according to the above-mentioned assembly process, and will not be described herein.

In practical application, when the hard disk module 120 is not completely installed in the chassis 110 of the server 100 or in other similar installation scenarios of the hard disk module 120, the hard disk module 120 provided by the present scheme may be adopted, which is not illustrated one by one.
