Detailed ways

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of a shell structure of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of the bottom of the second plate in Fig. 2 , and Fig. 4 is a cross-section of a shell structure of a server according to an embodiment of the present invention schematic diagram. In this embodiment, a rack server is taken as an example, which has a control circuit board, a plurality of slots for pluggable hard disk drives, and a casing. Although no detailed diagram is shown in this embodiment, However, those skilled in the art can refer to the description of FIG. 1 for specific implementation.

Please refer to FIG. 2 , the casing structure 200 of the server includes a first plate 210 and a second plate 220 . The first board 210 is, for example, the upper board of the server casing 202 , and the second board 220 is, for example, a front upper cover, which is disposed on the first board 210 . Next, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4 , the first plate 210 has a fixing column 212, which protrudes and is fixed on the upper surface of the first plate 210, and the fixing column 212 has an engaging portion 214, such as a An annular groove with a depth of notch, or a groove-shaped notch on a side edge of the fixing post 212 adjacent to the fixing frame 230 , is used for engaging the fixing frame 230 of the second plate 220 .

Next, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the bottom of the second board 220 has a fixing frame 230 and a loading and unloading piece 240 . The fixing frame 230 is integrally formed with the second plate, and has a catch portion (such as a V-shaped slot) 232 for engaging the engaging portion 214 of the fixing post 212 to fix the second plate 220 at the assembly position. on A. The opening width of the V-shaped groove at the tip is smaller than the opening width of the V-shaped groove at the beginning, so when the second plate 220 moves along the horizontal movement direction relative to the fixed column 212, the fixed column 212 can be moved by the opening of the V-shaped groove. Relatively move to the tip of the V-shaped slot, so that the engaging portion 214 of the fixing post 212 is fixed at the tip of the V-shaped slot. In addition, in the case of no external force, the loading and unloading piece 240 is normally supported on the fixing frame 230, and it has a locking coordination hole 242, which is located above the locking part 232, and is used for passing through the fixing column 212. To limit the horizontal movement of the second plate 220 relative to the first plate 210 .

Based on the above, the loading and unloading piece 240 is, for example, a metal elastic piece with elastic recovery force, which has an elastic bending portion C, and the fixing frame 230, for example, has a slot P, so that the elastic bending portion C extends out of the slot P In addition, an actuating end 244 is formed. Please refer to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 at the same time, wherein FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 are schematic cross-sectional views of the loading and unloading piece and the second plate in FIG. 4 respectively. When the loading and unloading piece 240 is moved away from the fixed column 212 by force, for example, the actuating end 244 is pushed upwards to move a rising distance, so that the locking coordination hole 242 of the loading and unloading piece 240 and the fixed column 212 do not interfere with each other. In this case, it is only necessary to push the second plate 220 away from the fixed column 212 along the horizontal movement direction, so that the fixing bracket 230 releases the clamping of the fixed column 212, and the second plate 220 can be opposite from the original assembly position A Move to a dismounting position B to disengage from the first board 210 .

It can be seen from the above description that when the second plate 220 is assembled on or disassembled from the first plate 210, the second plate 220 only needs to be fastened/fixed by the fixing frame 230 and the loading and unloading piece 240. Release operation, and the operation is simple and convenient, to replace the traditional operation of assembling/disassembling the front cover with a complicated clamping/release structure.

In addition, compared with the conventional technology, the present invention utilizes the fixing column 212 (such as a stud or a rivet) to be clamped between the first panel 210 and the second panel 220, so that the second panel 220 can be reinforced. structural strength. Please refer to FIG. 3 , the second plate 220 has, for example, two side walls 222 and a middle flat portion 224 between the two side walls 222 , and the middle flat portion 224 of the second plate 220 has a structure relative to the side walls 222 The strength is relatively poor. In the present invention, the fixed bracket 230 and the loading and unloading piece 240 are arranged on the middle flat part 224 of the second plate. The support of the second plate 220 thus strengthens the overall shell structure 200 .

Moreover, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the first board 210 in FIG. 4 is not only the upper board of the server cabinet 202, but also the bottom shell of the server cabinet 202 or other parts of the board. The illustrated fixing column 212 engages with the engaging portion (for example, a V-shaped slot) 232 to fix the second plate 220 .

Regarding the structure and shape of the engaging portion, the present invention proposes a different embodiment to achieve the effects of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the bottom of the second plate. In FIG. 7 , the bottom of the second plate 220 has a fixing frame 230 and a mounting and dismounting piece 240 . The fixing frame 230 has an engaging portion (such as a gourd hole) 234 disposed along the horizontal movement direction, for engaging the engaging portion 214 of the fixing column 212 shown in FIG. 4 to fix the second plate 220 . In this embodiment, the opening width of the engaging portion 234 at the first position D1 is different from the opening width at the second position D2, for example, the opening width at the second position D2 can allow the fixing post 212 to vertically pass through it, and The width of the opening at the first position D1 can only allow the engaging portion 214 (such as a slot) of the fixing column 212 to pass horizontally therethrough to engage the fixing column 212 , thereby limiting the verticality of the second plate 220 relative to the first plate 210 move. In addition, the loading and unloading piece 240 is provided with a locking coordination hole 242 at the first position D1 corresponding to the locking portion 234, which is suitable for passing through the fixing column 212 to limit the horizontal movement of the second plate 220 relative to the first plate 210. . To sum up, the casing structure of the server of the present invention has a simple fastening/release mechanism, which can effectively improve the convenience of assembly. Therefore, the user can quickly assemble or disassemble the second panel without auxiliary tools, which is very convenient to use.

Although the present invention has been disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention, and anyone with ordinary knowledge in the technical field may make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be defined by the claims.
