Patent Application
20180184541
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201611208239.3 filed on Dec. 23, 2016 the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to a server rack.
The server generally needs hot-swappable hard drive. Therefore, a server rack must receive the hard disk, and the server rack is equipped with slide rails to conveniently slide the hard drive into the rack.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the exemplary embodiments described herein.
Several definitions that apply throughout this disclosure will now be presented.
The term “outside” refers to a region that is beyond the outermost confines of a physical object. The term “inside” indicates that at least a portion of an object is contained within a boundary formed by another object. The term “substantially” is defined to be essentially conforming to the particular dimension, shape, or other feature that the term modifies, such that the component need not be exact. For example, “substantially cylindrical” means that the object resembles a cylinder, but can have one or more deviations from a true cylinder. The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
The bracket 20 includes a plurality of baffles 26, and the baffles 26 are parallel to each other. Each end of each baffle 26 is perpendicular to the sidewall 22. The baffles 26 divide the receiving space 25 into a plurality of receiving portions 251, and each receiving portion 251 is configured to receive a plurality of data storages 10.
Each connecting device 30 includes a connecting member 31 and a wheel 35 rotatably installed on the connecting member 31. One end of the connecting member 31 defines a plurality of securing holes 32. A plurality of securing members (not shown) passes through the securing holes 32 and is inserted into the sidewall 22 to secure the connecting member 31 on the bracket 20. The other end of the connecting member 31 includes two connecting plates 33. The two connecting plates 33 are perpendicularly connected with the connecting member 31 and parallel to each other. A connecting shaft 34 is secured between the two connecting plates 33. The wheel 35 can be set on the connecting shaft 34 and rotated relative to the connecting shaft 34. Each connecting device 30 is electrically connected with the bracket 20 by a cable 36.
The bottom plate 45 includes a plurality of mounting plates 46, and the mounting plates 46 are perpendicularly connected with the bottom plate 45 and parallel to the side plate 50. The top end of one of the mounting plate 46 defines a plurality of mounting holes 465. A plurality of fixing members (not shown) can be inserted into the mounting holes 465 to secure a slide rail module 70 on the mounting plate 46.
The other mounting plate 46 includes two adapter plates 468. The adapter plate 468 is made of a conductive material and is capable of conducting current.
The shell 40 includes a power supply module 47 at the rear end of the bottom plate 45. The power supply module 47 is configured to provide power to the data storages 10. The adapter plate 468 is equipped with a cable 469, and the adapter plate 468 is electrically connected with the power supply module 47 by the cable 469. The shell 40 includes a plurality of interfaces 48 at the rear end of the rear plate 45. The electrical connector of the bracket 20 is inserted into the interface 48 to connect the data storage 10 with a server.
In
The wheel 35 is set on the connecting shaft 34 of the connecting member 31 as shown in
Referring to
The bracket 20 is pushed to slide the inner rail 75 into the middle rail 73, and the middle rail 75 is slid into the outer rail 75. When the bracket 20 passes through the opening 65 and is received in the server rack 100, the electrical connector of the rear wall 24 connects with the interface 48. Then, the data storage 10 and the bracket 20 are slidably installed on the server rack 100.
The exemplary embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Many details are often found in the art such as the other features of a server rack. Therefore, many such details are neither shown nor described. Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the detail, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims. It will therefore be appreciated that the exemplary embodiments described above may be modified within the scope of the claims.
