Description

Server cabinet structure

technical field

The invention relates to a server cabinet, in particular to a server cabinet structure capable of quickly loading and unloading a carrier disk.

Background technique

With the development of science and technology, in order to meet consumers' requirements for data processing speed, computer devices are expected to start and execute various programs in the shortest time. The industry achieves the development goal of increasing processing speed and multi-tasking computing by increasing the precision of chips. Then a server (server) structure composed of multiple circuit boards and their electronic components has been developed.

Currently seen server racks are provided with trays to place the main boards when multiple main boards are installed, and the server racks are also partitioned into multiple spaces to accommodate all the main boards loaded therein. The carrying trays are arranged at intervals inside the frame. And with the structure of multiple sets of slide rails inside the cabinet, each carrier plate is provided to be inserted into the cabinet.

In order to facilitate the stable placement of the carrier tray inside the server, a plurality of matching slide rail frames and a plurality of slide rails are installed on the rack of the server, so as to fix the carrier tray and keep it in the server rack. Specifically, each slide rail frame is provided with two shoulders and a mounting portion, through which the screws pass through the through holes of the shoulders to fix the slide rail frame on the server rack. Each slide rail includes an outer slide rail and a pair of inner slide rails, which are installed on the slide rail frame and the server respectively, and the server slides into the outer slide rail through the inner slide rail.

When the carrier plate is pushed into the server rack to the predetermined position, the server is combined with a fixed plate, and the thumb screw is used to pass through the carrier plate and the fixed plate, and then locked into the corresponding screw hole of the rack, so that The carrying plate is fixed inside the rack, thereby ensuring that the main board in the carrying plate and the power system of the server rack are electrically connected to each other (connected with each other by means of electrical connectors).

The above-mentioned existing server motherboards most require high reliability and high expandability. The main reason is that each motherboard has a hot-swap function, and the motherboard can be directly connected to an external electrical connection port through an electrical connector. For electrical connection, the mainboard of the server needs to be plugged and unplugged frequently. Therefore, the locking method of screwing the screw into the screw hole will cause inconvenience during plugging and unplugging of the server motherboard, and the screw also has problems such as difficult alignment, easy loss, and high cost of the thumb screw.

In addition, in order to make the carrier tray be placed stably in the rack and slide relative to the rack, the existing server rack must be equipped with multiple sets of slide rail frames and slide rails for the carrier tray to be placed directly on the rack. on it. This will cause the slide rail frame and the slide rail to occupy too much space inside the server rack, so that the usable space inside the server rack is relatively limited, so the number of circuit boards that can be loaded in a single server rack is relatively limited, and The maximum number cannot be loaded, resulting in the failure to improve the operating performance of the server cabinet.

Wherein, the frame has two opposite frame bars and at least two guide rails, each frame bar is provided with a plurality of assembly holes, and the two guide rails are respectively arranged on the frame bars, and the guide rails are arranged correspondingly. The carrying tray is placed on the two guide rails, and the carrying tray can slide into the frame through the guide rails. The carrying plate has at least one locking plate and two recessed parts, the locking plate has at least one combining hole, and the two recessed parts correspond to the two guide rails respectively. When the carrier tray is located in the frame, the two guide rails are respectively accommodated in the two recessed parts, and the locking plate leans against one of the frame bars, and the joint holes of the locking plate are connected with a plurality of assembly holes of one of the frame bars. One of the assembly holes corresponds to each other. The fixing piece passes through the combination hole and at least one assembly hole of the plurality of assembly holes, and the fixing piece is inserted into at least one frame bar, so as to limit the carrying tray to be kept in the frame.

The effect of the present invention is that the fixing part is fixed on the frame by inserting, so that the carrying plate can be quickly and conveniently fixed in the frame, or removed from the frame, which greatly simplifies the loading and unloading of the carrying plate Steps, but also shorten the time spent on loading and unloading operations.
