Server storage medium assembly structure 【0001】

The present invention relates to an assembly structure, and more particularly to an assembly structure of a server storage medium.

【0002】

With the popularity of the Internet and the increase in network bandwidth, many of the information processing on the computer can also be achieved through the Internet. Because of the application of the Internet everywhere in human life, especially in recent years, the popular cloud computing (Cloud Computing) is to share software, hardware resources and various information through the way of connecting to each other through the Internet. Further, the so-called cloud computing is to use the server group's ultra-high computing and large storage capacity through the Internet, instead of using the software installed on the personal computer, or replacing the hard disk. The information is transferred to the Internet.

[0003]

At present, the types of computer servers are roughly divided into two types: vertical server and rack server. The vertical server looks like a general personal computer host, providing more expansion space in use and increasing according to user requirements. Reduce hard drives or other electronic devices. However, the rack server can allocate the internal space of the chassis, so that the rack server can be easily removed from a rack. Generally, a rack server can be installed on a rack for mounting a rack server, so that the rack server is suitable for use in a large machine room, so it is currently built and used for a large customer data center. many.

[0004]

In order to meet the needs of various customer data, large customer data centers need to assemble or disassemble hard disks frequently. In the prior art, the hard disk holder used in the rack of the server usually separates a plurality of chassis kits for mounting the hard disk module according to the applied server specifications. For example, for a 1U server, the inside of the hard disk holder separates a plurality of hard disks arranged in a single direction and is divided into 1×4 or 1×5 hard disk holders. In the case of a servo of 2U or more, the plurality of hard disks separated by the hard disk holder are arranged in a layered manner in the hard disk holder, that is, 2×3, 2×4 or 3 ×5 hard disk holder.

[0005]

However, the above-mentioned standardized hard disk cartridges require the use of hand tools, screws or special-sized tools to fix the hard disk to the rack. Therefore, in the process of disassembling and assembling the hard disk, it is cumbersome and inconvenient, and it needs to be improved.

[0006]

In view of this, in order to improve and solve the above-mentioned shortcomings, the creator has devoted himself to researching and cooperating with the application of theory, and finally proposed a creation that is reasonable and effective in improving the above-mentioned defects.

【0007】

One of the purposes of the present invention is to provide an assembly structure for a server storage medium that can be easily assembled or disassembled by operating the rotating cover to open or close.

[0008]

To achieve the above object, the present invention provides an assembly structure of a server storage medium for assembling a storage medium into a rack. The assembly structure includes a base and a rotating cover. The housing provides an accommodation space and is disposed on the rack for accommodating the storage medium. One end of the rotating cover is rotatably pivotally connected to the base. The rotating cover plate comprises an upper cover plate, a push plate and a pressure plate. The pushing plate is disposed opposite to the pressure plate on both sides of the upper cover. The rotating cover is closed with respect to the base, so that the pressing plate pushes the storage medium to be electrically connected to the base. The rotating cover is opened relative to the base, thereby pushing the board to move the storage medium out of engagement with the base.

【0009】

The creation also has the following effects: the user can easily assemble and disassemble the storage medium without any hand tools, and is very convenient and efficient in operation. In particular, during the operation of closing or opening the rotating cover, the storage medium simultaneously forms an electrical connection or a non-electrical connection (ie, disconnection) from the base connector of the base.

In addition, the rotating cover 200 further includes a latching member 240 opposite to the other end of the pushing plate 220. The base 300 further includes a resilient card slot 320 for engaging with the latching member 240. The elastic card slot 320 described herein preferably includes a resilient card slot. In other embodiments, however, the resilient card slot 320 can also be a push-push or other suitable structure. Further, when the rotating cover 200 is closed with respect to the base 300, the latch 240 of the rotating cover 200 is relatively locked with the elastic slot 320 of the base 300 to position the storage medium 150 and the base 300. Form an electrical connection. When the storage medium 150 is to be taken out, the pressing plate 248 of the rotating cover 200 needs to be opened and the locking member 240 is separated from the elastic card slot 320 (refer to FIG. 4 at the same time).

[0025]

In this embodiment, a stop plate 322 extending from the frame 110 is further included. One side of the stop plate 322 is used to restrict the displacement of the storage medium 150 in the accommodating space 310, and the other side is disposed adjacent to the elastic card slot 320. In addition, each of the first side plates 330 has a stop portion 332 at one end thereof, and each of the stop portions 332 is disposed in parallel with the stop plate 322, and is also disposed to limit the displacement of the storage medium 150 in the accommodating space 310.

[0026]

As shown in FIG. 2, the pushing plate 220 of the rotating cover 200 further has a folded portion 222. The folding portion 222 is preferably a folded structure that pushes the end of the plate 220 further outward (or inwardly), so that the pushing plate 220 has a strong structure and is not in the process of abutting against a storage medium (not shown). Will be deformed. The pushing plate 220 and the second side plates 250 are free ends and elastically resist and move the storage medium 150. That is, the two short sides of the pushing plate 220 are not connected to the respective second side plates 250, so that the pushing plate 220 elastically abuts and moves the storage medium 150. In addition, the pressing plate 230 of the present embodiment preferably extends from the upper cover 210 integrally formed into the accommodating space 310 and is disposed adjacent to the latching member 24. However, in another embodiment, the pressing plate 230 can also be disposed on the same side of the pressing plate 248 of the latching member 240, and can be changed according to the size or needs of the storage medium, which is not limited herein.

[0027]

Furthermore, the pressure plate 230 includes a bent portion 232 and an extended portion 234. The extending portion 234 is connected to the bending portion 232 and extends into the accommodating space 310, and the number thereof preferably includes two pressure applying plates 230 arranged in parallel. However, in another embodiment, the pressure plate 230 may also be designed as a single plate, which may not be limited according to actual needs. The inclined portion 234 has a guiding storage medium 150 to move inside the base 300, and the elastic bending portion 322 has the effect of substantially resisting and pushing the storage medium 150 to be electrically connected to the base 300.

[0028]

The following will further explain how the rotating cover can be easily assembled or disassembled in the machine base without any tools. As shown in FIGS. 4-6, when the rotary cover 200 is closed with respect to the base 300, the pressing plate 230 having the inclined portion 234 of the inclined surface may interfere with one end of the storage medium 150. When the rotating cover 200 is further covered by the elastic card slot 320, the point of contact between the pressing plate 230 and the storage medium 150 gradually changes from the extending portion 234 to the bent portion 232. In other words, during the closing process, the bent portion 232 completes the operation of pushing the assembly of the storage medium 150.

[0029]

At this time, in the force of rotating the rotating cover 200 downward, a component force is pushed by the pressing plate 230 (ie, the bending portion 232) to move the storage medium 150 in a direction parallel to the base 300 by a distance D until The slot 152 of the storage medium 150 is electrically connected to the base connector 340 of the base 300. The component of the other vertical frame 300 can be locked in the elastic card slot 320 by the latching member 240, so as to complete the positioning of the storage medium 150 and electrically connected to the base 300, as shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. Shown.

[0030]

Please refer to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 at the same time, in order to show a side view and a perspective view of the opening of the rotating cover plate relative to the base. When the rotating cover 200 is opened relative to the base 300, the pressing plate 248 of the rotating cover 200 is rotated, and the latching member 240 is separated from the elastic card slot 320 (or the latching member 240 can elastically exit the elastic card slot 320). At this time, the extending portion 234 of the pressing plate 230 is in contact with one end of the storage medium 150, and the slot 152 of the storage medium 150 has not been disconnected from the electrical connection with the base connector 340 (as shown in FIG. 4).

[0031]

As shown in FIG. 7, when the rotating cover 200 is lifted away from the elastic card slot 320, the pushing plate 220 begins to interfere with the storage medium 150. The greater the angle or force at which the rotating cover 200 is opened, the greater the thrust of the storage medium 150 against the plate 220 until it is disengaged from the base connector 340. That is to say, the slot 152 of the storage medium 150 is disconnected from the electrical connection between the base connector 340, so that the storage medium 150 can be taken out from the accommodating space 310 of the base 300. As shown in FIG. 8 , since the size of the pushing plate 220 is greater than the size of the slot (not shown) and the base connector 340, and the pushing plate 220 has the folded portion 222, the pushing plate 220 is pushed against the storage medium. In the process of 150, the effect of pushing out the storage medium 150 can be achieved without being deformed. Therefore, by opening the rotating cover 200, the storage medium 150 can be easily separated from the connection of the base connector 340 of the base 300, and the storage medium 150 can be easily taken out.

[0032]

As shown in FIG. 9, a schematic diagram of another embodiment of the present creation is shown. The present invention further provides an assembly structure of a server storage medium, that is, a plurality of bases 300 are included in a rack 110 for assembling or disassembling a plurality of storage media (not shown). Since the structures, elements, connections, and operational relationships of the present embodiment are the same as those of the foregoing embodiments, they are not described herein again.

[0033]

In summary, the embodiments disclosed herein are to be considered as illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The scope of this creation is defined by the scope of the appended patent application and covers its legal equivalents and is not limited to the foregoing description.
