Patent Application
20220386498
The subject matter herein generally relates to a server chassis, in particular to a server chassis and a server including the server chassis.
A chassis with a height of 87 mm can only accommodate seven hard disks, three hard disks being stacked in the chassis, the other three hard disks being stacked, and the remaining one hard disk being placed separately. The remaining spacing where the remaining one hard disk is placed in the chassis is only 18.72 mm, which is not big enough to accommodate an eighth hard disk.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of embodiment, with reference to the attached figures.
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present disclosure, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present disclosure without creative efforts are within the scope of the present disclosure.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meanings as those understood in the art. The terminology used in the description of the present disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to limit the disclosure.
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a server chassis. The server chassis includes a housing, a support frame, and a back plate. The housing includes a substrate. A fixing portion is vertically disposed on the substrate. The support frame is fixedly connected with the substrate. A first protrusion is disposed on the support frame and is inserted into the back plate. The back plate is fixedly connected with the fixing portion.
Embodiments of the present disclosure also provide a server including the server chassis.

In one embodiment, a height of the housing 20 is increased from 87 mm to 87.5 mm.
A fixing portion 222 extends from an edge of the mounting slot 221 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 22. The fixing portion 222 is configured for installing the back plate 50. In one embodiment, there are two mounting slots 221 and two fixing portions 222.
The fixing portion 222 defines a fixing hole 2221 for a fastener (not shown) to pass through. The fixing portion 222 is fixedly connected with the back plate 50 via the fastener. In one embodiment, the fastener is a screw. In one embodiment, the fixing portion 222 and the substrate 22 may be integrally formed. It is to be understood that the fixing portion 222 is not limited to the edge of the mounting slot 221, but can also be disposed at other locations of the substrate 22, as long as the fixing portion 222 is fixedly connected with the back plate 50. Through the arrangements of the fixing portion 222 and the fastener, a thickness between the substrate 22 and the back plate 50 is reduced from 2 mm to 1.2 mm. At the same time, since the height of the housing 20 is increased by 0.5 mm, the spacing which is remaining after installing seven hard disks in the server chassis 100 is increased from 18.72 mm to 20.02 mm, when compared with the existing chassis, which meets the needs of installing an eighth hard disk.
The substrate 22 also defines a clamping slot 223 penetrating the substrate 22. The clamping slot 223 is used to clamp the back plate 50 to further fix the back plate 50. A shape of the clamping slot 223 is matched with a shape of a protruding portion of the back plate 50. In one embodiment, there are two clamping slots 223, the clamping slots 223 are substantially in a shape of a gourd.
The substrate 22 also defines a plurality of matching holes 224. The plurality of matching holes 224 hold parts of the support frame 40 to fixedly connect the support frame 40 with the substrate 22.

The tray assembly 30 also includes a second tray 32 for carrying the hard disk. The second tray 32 is disposed on the support frame 40. In one embodiment, there are two stacked second trays 32 for carrying two hard disks.

The first connecting portion 421 includes a first resisting member 4211 and a first mounting member 4212. The first resisting member 4211 is perpendicular to the first resisting member 4211 and an end of the support portion 41. The first mounting member 4212 and the support portion 41 are disposed on opposite sides of the first resisting member 4211. The first mounting member 4212 is used to abut against other components inside the server chassis 100 to fix the other components inside the server chassis 100. It is to be understood that the other components inside the server chassis 100 may include a power assembly, a fan assembly, etc.
The first mounting member 4212 is fixed to the substrate 22. The first mounting member 4212 defines a plurality of second mounting holes 4213 for fasteners (not shown) to pass through, so that the support frame 40 is fixedly connected with the substrate 22. In one embodiment, the fasteners are screws. A second protrusion 4214 extends from an edge of each of the second mounting holes 4213. The second protrusion 4214 is accommodated in one of the matching holes 224 to make the connection between the first mounting member 4212 and the substrate 22 more stable, and to prevent movement of the internal components when the server chassis 100 is shaken. In one embodiment, the second protrusion 4214 is substantially annular.
The second connecting portion 422 includes a second resisting member 4221 and two second mounting members 4222 which are folded and extend from opposite ends of the second resisting member 4221. The second resisting member 4221 is used to abut against other components inside the server chassis 100 to fix the other components inside the server chassis 100. The two second mounting members 4222 are located on a side of the second resisting member 4221 away from the first resisting member 4211 and are used to connect with the housing 20. In one embodiment, the second mounting members 4222 are substantially L-shaped.
Referring to
An embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a server, the server includes the above server chassis 100.
In the server chassis 100 and the server, the height of the housing 20 is increased, the fixing portion 222 is vertically arranged on the substrate 22 and is fixedly connected with the support frame 40 to reduce the height between the substrate 22 and the back plate 50. The first protrusion 413 is disposed on the support frame 40 to make the support frame 40 be closely connected with the back plate 50. The interior of the server chassis 100 is thus rendered more compact, and the server chassis 100 can accommodate eight hard disks.
While the present disclosure has been described with reference to particular embodiments, the description is illustrative of the disclosure and is not to be construed as limiting the disclosure. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art can make various modifications to the embodiments without departing from the scope of the disclosure as defined by the appended claims.
