Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This non-provisional application claims priority under 35
U.S.C. .sctn.119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 201410723473.4
filed in China on Dec. 3, 2014, the entire contents of which are
hereby incorporated by reference.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] 1. Technical Field of the Invention
[0003] The disclosure relates to a server, and more particularly to
a server with a tray and a bracket.
[0004] 2. Description of the Related Art
[0005] With the development of the internet technology, servers are
widely used in many organizations. In a server rack, multiple
servers are installed in a server case of the server rack. Hard
disk drives and other modules of the server are installed on a tray
of the server. A bracket is detachably installed in the case via
guiding rails. The tray and the bracket are connected through the
sliding rails. The sliding rails enable the tray to slide into or
slide out of the accommodating space of the bracket. In this way,
user can remove the tray from the accommodating space of the
bracket so that the servers can be taken out of the case for
maintenance and repair of the hard disk drives and other
modules.
[0006] However, when the hard disk drives and other modules on the
tray need to be overhauled, or when the bracket requires
maintenance or replacement, a user have to remove the server from
the case. To remove the server from the case, the user has to pull
the tray out of the accommodating space of the bracket completely.
Therefore, the sliding rails connecting the tray and the bracket
have to bear the weight of the tray and the modules on the tray.
When the total weight of the tray and the modules is too heavy, it
may cause the deformation of the sliding rails. In addition, it
takes more time to remove the bracket from the case because the
server has to be pulled out of the accommodating space of the
bracket completely before pulling the bracket out of the case.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0007] The disclosure provides a server with a tray and a bracket
to solve problems about detaching the server from a case and
damages and deformations of the server caused by detaching.
[0008] An embodiment of the disclosure provides a server, for being
installed on two guiding rails of a case, comprises a bracket and a
tray. The bracket is detachably installed on the guiding rails of
the case. The bracket comprises two side frames and two synchronous
plates. The side frames are detachably installed on the guiding
rails of the case, respectively. The side frames are opposite to
each other. Each of the side frames comprises a front part with a
first fixing hole. Each of the synchronous plates comprises a
second fixing hole and a limiting surface. The synchronous plates
are slidably installed on the front parts, respectively. Each of
the synchronous plates has a fixing position and a free position.
The first fixing hole is aligned with the second fixing hole when
the synchronous plate is at the fixing position. The first fixing
hole is misaligned with the second fixing hole when the synchronous
plate is at the free position. The tray detachably installed on the
bracket. The tray comprises a body and two limiting bars. The body
has two front ends facing the front parts which are opposite to
each other, respectively. The limiting bars are installed on two
sides of the body that are opposite to each other and facing the
synchronous plates of the bracket, respectively. When the tray and
the bracket are pushed into the case along the guiding rails
together, the limiting bars cross the limiting surfaces so that the
synchronous plates are moved from the free positions to the fixing
positions, respectively. The synchronous plates face the front ends
of the tray, respectively, and fixed at two holes at the front ends
of the case by two fixing components, respectively. The fixing
components cross the first fixing holes, the second fixing holes
and the holes, respectively. When the fixing components are removed
from the first fixing holes, the second fixing holes and the holes,
respectively, and the tray is pulled out of the case, the
synchronous plates are moved from the fixing positions to the free
positions to stop the limiting bars by the limiting surfaces,
respectively, so that the tray and the bracket are pulled out of
the case together.
[0009] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, each of the
side frames of the bracket has a guiding bar. Each of the
synchronous plates further has a guiding groove. The guiding bar is
located inside the guiding groove. When the synchronous plates are
moved from the fixing positions to the free positions relative to
the side frames, respectively, the guiding bars are moved along a
first direction within the guiding grooves so that the first fixing
holes aligned with the second fixing holes are moved to be
misaligned with the second fixing holes, respectively. When the
synchronous plates are moved from the free positions to the fixing
positions relative to the side frames, respectively, the guiding
bars are moved along a second direction within the guiding grooves
so that the first fixing holes misaligned with the second fixing
holes are moved to be aligned with the second fixing holes,
respectively.
[0010] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the tray is
for sliding relative to the bracket along a sliding direction.
Extending directions of the guiding grooves are perpendicular to
the sliding direction.
[0011] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the bracket
further comprises two sliding rails. The sliding rails are disposed
on the side frames, respectively. The tray further comprises two
sliding components. The sliding components are located on two sides
of the tray which are opposite to each other, respectively. The
sliding components match with the sliding rails, respectively, so
that the tray are slidably installed on the bracket.
[0012] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, each of the
synchronous plates further comprises a bottom edge and a limiting
groove. The limiting groove is recessed inward from the bottom
edge. The limiting surface forms a wall of the limiting groove. The
tray is for being ejected out of the case along a pulling
direction. A normal direction of the limiting surface is opposite
to the pulling direction.
[0013] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, each of the
limiting grooves further comprises a first guiding inclination
surface and a bottom surface. The first guiding inclination surface
connects the bottom edge and the bottom surface. The bottom surface
connects the first guiding inclination surface and the limiting
surface. An obtuse angle is formed between the first guiding
inclination surface and the bottom surface. The limiting surface is
perpendicular to the bottom surface.
[0014] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, each of the
synchronous plates further has a second guiding inclination surface
connected to the limiting surface. An acute angle is formed between
the second guiding inclination surface and the limiting
surface.
[0015] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, when the
synchronous plates are at the fixing positions, respectively, the
limiting bars are pressed against the bottom edges of the
synchronous plates so that the first fixing holes are aligned with
the second fixing holes, respectively.
[0016] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, when the
synchronous plates are at the free positions, respectively, the
limiting bars are stopped by the limiting surfaces of the
synchronous plates so that the first fixing holes are misaligned
with the second fixing holes, respectively.
[0017] According to an embodiment of the disclosure, the guiding
rails are L-shaped guiding rails. The guiding rails are installed
on two sides of the case that are opposite to each other.
[0018] According to the server of the disclosure, when the tray is
moved out of the case, the limiting bars of the tray and the
limiting surfaces of the synchronous plates on the bracket are
pressed against each other, respectively. As a result, the bracket
and the tray are moved and pulled out of the case, synchronously.
Therefore, the sliding rails do not bear the weight of the tray and
other modules on the tray so that the deformation problems of the
sliding rails are avoid. In addition, the server of the embodiments
of the disclosure also reduces the detachment time of the
server.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In the following detailed description, for purposes of
explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to
provide a thorough understanding of the disclosed embodiments. It
will be apparent, however, that one or more embodiments may be
practiced without these specific details. In other instances,
well-known structures and devices are schematically shown in order
to simplify the drawing.
[0028] Please refer to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, FIG. 1 is a schematic
perspective view of a server according to an embodiment of the
disclosure. FIG. 2 is an exploded view of the server according to
the embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 3 is an exploded view of a
bracket of the server according to the embodiment of the
disclosure. In the embodiment, a server 20 is detachably installed
inside of a case 10. The case 10 comprises a case body 11, a
plurality of guiding rails and a plurality of fixing components 13.
The case body 11 has two inner wall surfaces 111, an accommodating
space 112, an opening 113 and a plurality of holes 114. Two inner
wall surfaces 111 of the case body 11 are opposite to each other
and facing each other. Two inner wall surfaces 111 form an
accommodating space 112 and an opening 113. The opening 113 is an
access of the accommodating space 112. The plurality of the guiding
rails 112 are arranged at intervals (i.e., by a distance) and
secured at the inner wall surface 111, respectively. The server 20
is pushed into the accommodating space 112 of the case body 11
through the opening 113 and the front ends 1111 of the inner wall
surfaces 111. The movement of the server 20 is along the guiding
rails 112 which are facing each other on the inner wall surfaces
111. The plurality of holes 114 is located at the front ends 1111
of the inner wall surfaces 111 for fixing with the plurality of
fixing components 13. The guiding rails 12 are L-shaped guiding
rails in the embodiment. However, the disclosure is not limited to
the shape of the guiding rails. In other embodiments, the guiding
rails can have different shapes.
[0029] The server 20 comprises a bracket 21 and a tray 22. The tray
22 is detachably and slidably installed on the bracket 21. The
bracket 21 comprises two side frames 211, two synchronous plates
212 and two sliding rails 213. The side frames 211 are detachably
installed on the guiding rails 12 on the inner wall surfaces 111 of
the case body 11, respectively. The sliding rails 213 are installed
on the side frames 211 and facing each other. The extending
direction of the sliding rails 213 are parallel to a direction that
the server 20 is pushed into or pulled out of the accommodating
space 112 of the case body 11 along the guiding rails 12.
[0030] Each of the front parts 2111 of the side frames 211 which is
near the opening 113 has a first fixing hole 21111, a securing hole
21112 and at least one guiding bar 21113. The guiding bars 21113
are installed on the front parts 2111 of the side frames 211 and
facing each other. In the embodiment, the number of the guiding
bars on each of the front parts 2111 of the side frame s 211 is
two. However, the disclosure is not limited to the number of the
guiding bar. In other embodiments, the number of the guiding bar
can be one or more than two.
[0031] Each of the synchronous plates 212 comprises a second fixing
hole 2121, a bottom edge 2122, a limiting groove 2123, a second
guiding inclination surface 2124 and at least one guiding groove
2125. The limiting groove 2123 is recessed inward from the bottom
edge 2122 toward the center of the synchronous plate 212. Two ends
of the limiting groove 2123 that are opposite to each other are
connected to the bottom edge 2122 and the second guiding
inclination surface 2124, respectively. The limiting groove 2123
comprises a limiting surface 21231, a bottom surface 21232 and a
first guiding inclination surface 21233. In other words, the
limiting surface 21231, the bottom surface 21232 and the first
guiding inclination surface 21233 form walls of the limiting groove
2123. The server 20 can be ejected out of the case 10 along the
guiding rails 12 along a pulling direction. A normal direction of
the limiting surface 21231 is opposite to the pulling direction.
The first guiding inclination surface 21233 connects the bottom
edge 2122 and the bottom surface 21232. An obtuse angle is formed
between the first guiding inclination surface 21233 and the bottom
surface 21232. The bottom surface 21232 connects the first guiding
inclination surface 21233 and the limiting surface 21231. The
limiting surface 21231 is perpendicular to the bottom surface
21232. The second guiding inclination surface 2124 is connected to
the limiting surface 21231. An acute angle is formed between the
second guiding inclination surface 2124 and the limiting surface
21231. However, the disclosure is not limited to the angle formed
between the limiting surface and the bottom surface. In other
embodiment of the disclosure, the angle formed between the limiting
surface and the bottom surface is smaller than 90 degrees.
[0032] The number of the guiding groove 2125 of each of the
synchronous plates 212 matches the number of the guiding bar 21113
located at each of the front parts 2111 of the side frames 211.
Each of the guiding bars 21113 of the side frames 211 is located
inside each of the guiding grooves 2125 of the synchronous plates
212, respectively, so that the synchronous plates 212 are slidably
installed on the front parts 2111 of the side frames 211 relative
to the side frames 211, respectively. The tray 22 is able to slide
relative to the bracket 21 along a sliding direction. The sliding
direction is also the direction that the server 20 is pushed into
or pulled out of the accommodating space 112 of the case body 11
along the guiding rails 12. An extending direction of each of the
guiding grooves 2125 is perpendicular to the sliding direction.
Each of the guiding grooves 2125 has a top section 21251 and a
bottom section 21252 that are connected with each other. The top
section 21251 is at a side of the guiding groove 2125 that is
farther away from the direction of the gravity than the bottom
section 21252. In other words, the bottom section 21252 is at a
side of the guiding groove 2125 that is closer to the direction of
the gravity. Therefore, the sliding directions of the synchronous
plates relative to the side frames 211 are perpendicular to the
sliding direction that the server 20 is pushed into or pulled out
of the accommodating space 112 of the case body 11 along the
guiding rails 12. In the embodiment, the number of the guiding
grooves of the synchronous plate is two. However, the disclosure is
not limited to the number of the guiding grooves of the synchronous
plate. In other embodiment, the number of guiding grooves of a
synchronous plate is one or more than two.
[0033] Moreover, each of the synchronous plates 212 has a fixing
position and a free position on the front part 2111 of the side
frame 211. When the synchronous plate 212 is at the fixing
position, the guiding bars 21113 are located at the bottom sections
21252 of the guiding grooves 2125, respectively, and the first
fixing hole 21111 is aligned with the second fixing hole 2121. At
this time, the fixing component 13 is able to cross the first
fixing hole 21111 and the second fixing hole 2121 which are aligned
with each other so that the synchronous plate 212 is fixed at the
fixing position and the side frame 211 is fixed in the
accommodating space 112 of the case body 11. In contrast, when the
synchronous plate 212 is at the free position, the guiding bars
21113 are located at the top sections 21251 of the guiding grooves
2125, respectively, and the first fixing hole 21111 is misaligned
with (i.e., does not communicate with) the second fixing hole 2121.
At this time, both the first fixing hole 21111 and the second
fixing hole 2121 are not constrained by the fixing component 13.
Hence, the synchronous plate 212 is able to slide relative to the
side frame 211, and the side frame 211 is able to slide relative to
the case body 11 along the guiding rail 12.
[0034] The tray 22 comprises a body 221, two limiting bars 222 and
two sliding components 223. The body 221 has two sides which are
opposite to each other. When the tray is located in the
accommodating space 112, two sides of the body 221 which are
opposite to each other have two front ends 2211 near the opening
113, respectively. The limiting bars 222 are located at the front
ends 2211 of the body 221 and extending toward the synchronous
plates 212 of the bracket 21, respectively. The sliding components
223 are located at the sides of the body 221, respectively. The
extending directions of the sliding components 223 are parallel to
the direction that the server 20 is pushed into or pulled out of
the accommodating space 112 of the case body 11 along the guiding
rails 12. The sliding components 223 match the sliding rails 213,
respectively, so that the tray 22 is slidably installed on the side
frames 211 of the bracket 21.
[0035] The following describes the operations of the case 10 and
the server 20 during the assembly of the server 20. Please
referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 7, FIG. 4 to FIG. 6 are cross-sectional
views of the server during assembly according to the embodiment of
the disclosure. FIG. 7 is a schematic perspective view of a
synchronous plate at a fixing position during assembly according to
the embodiment of the disclosure. Since components on the left side
and the right side of the case 10 and the server 20 are symmetry
with each other, the following describes the operations of the
components on only one side of the case 10 and the server 20, and
the operations on the other side of the case 10 and the server 20
will not be repeated hereinafter.
[0036] Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, when the server
20 is assembled into the case 10, first, the bracket 21 is pushed
into the accommodating space 112 through the opening 113 along the
guiding rail 112 of the case 10. At this time, the synchronous
plate 212 at the front part 2111 of the side frame 211 is at the
free position due to the gravity. The guiding bars 21113 are
located in the top sections 21251 of the guiding grooves 2125,
respectively. The first fixing hole 21111 and the second fixing
hole 2121 are misaligned.
[0037] Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, next, the
sliding rail 213 and the sliding component 223 are matched to push
the tray 22 into the space between the side frames 211 which are
inside the accommodating space 112. When the tray 22 is pushed to
move into the accommodating space 112, the limiting bar 222
contacts the second guiding inclination surface 2124 and presses
against the second guiding inclination surface 2124, the bottom
surface 21232, the first guiding inclination surface 21233 and the
bottom edge 2122 of the synchronous plate 212, sequentially.
[0038] Referring now to FIG. 1, and FIG. 5, when the tray 22 is
completely pushed into the accommodating space 112, the limiting
bar 222 presses against the bottom edge 2122 of the synchronous
plate 212 so that the synchronous plate 212 moves along the
direction opposite to the gravity to the fixing position. At this
time, the guiding bars 21113 are located in the bottom sections
21252 of the guiding grooves 2125, respectively. The first fixing
hole 21111 and the second fixing hole 2121 are aligned.
[0039] Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 3 and FIG. 7, then, the fixing
component 13 penetrates through the first fixing hole 21111 and the
second fixing hole 2121 which are aligned, and the fixing component
13 is secured in the hole 114 on the front end 1111 of the inner
wall surface 111 so that the synchronous plate 212 is fixed at the
fixing position and the side frame 211 is fixed in the
accommodating space 112 of the case body 11. As a result, the
bracket 21 is fixed at the case body 11. The tray 22 is able to
slide relative to the bracket 21 with the assistance of the sliding
rail 213 and the sliding component 223 which are matched with each
other. In addition, one more fixing component 13 penetrates through
a securing hole 21112 and secured in another hole 114 on the front
end 1111 of the inner wall surface 111 to increase fixing strength
applied on the side frame 211. However, the disclosure is not
limited to the number of fixing component for fixing. In other
embodiment, the number of fixing component for fixing is one or
more than two.
[0040] The following are descriptions of the operations of the case
10 and the server 20 when detaching the server 20. Please referring
to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3 and FIG. 8 to FIG. 11, FIG. 8 to FIG. 10 are
cross-sectional views of the server during detachment according to
the embodiment of the disclosure. FIG. 11 is a schematic
perspective view of a synchronous plate at a free position during
detachment according to the embodiment of the disclosure. Since
components on the left side and the right side of the case 10 and
the server 20 are symmetry with each other, the operations of the
components on only one side of the case 10 and the server 20 will
be illustrated, and the operations of the components on another
side of the case 10 and the server 20 will not be repeated.
[0041] When the server 20 is detached from the case 10, first, all
of the fixing components 13 on the server 20 are removed.
Therefore, the fixation between the synchronous plate 212 and the
side frame 211 and the fixation between the side frame 211 and the
case body 11 are eliminated.
[0042] Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 8 and FIG. 9, next, the tray
22 is pulled out along a direction from the accommodating space 112
toward the opening 113. Since the tray 22 is pulled to move out of
the accommodating space 112 and the synchronous plate 212 is
dropped due to the gravity, the limiting bar 222 presses against
the bottom edge 2122, the first guiding inclination surface 21233,
the bottom surface 21232 and the limiting surface 21231,
sequentially. The normal direction of the limiting surface 21231 is
opposite to the pulling direction of the tray, and the limiting
surface 21231 and the bottom surface 21232 are perpendicular with
each other. Therefore, the limiting surface 21231 stops the
movement of the limiting bar 222 and restrain the limiting bar 222
in the limiting groove 2123.
[0043] Referring now to FIG. 1, FIG. 9 to FIG. 11, next, the tray
22 is pulled out along a direction from the accommodating space 112
toward the opening 113, continuously. Because the limiting surface
21231 stops the limiting bar 222 and restrains the limiting bar 222
in the limiting groove 2123, no relative movement between the tray
22 and the bracket 21 along the direction from the accommodating
space 112 toward the opening 113. As a result, the bracket 21 is
driven by the tray 22 and pulled out from the accommodating space
112 along the guiding rails 12, synchronously, so that the server
20 and the case 10 are separated from each other.
[0044] According to the server of the embodiments of the
disclosure, when the tray is moved out of the case, the limiting
bars of the tray and the limiting surfaces of the synchronous
plates on the bracket are pressed against each other, respectively.
As a result, the bracket and the tray are moved and pulled out of
the case, synchronously. Therefore, the sliding rails do not bear
the weight of the tray and other modules on the tray so that the
deformation problems of the sliding rails are avoid. In addition,
the server of the embodiments of the disclosure also reduces the
detachment time of the server.
