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). 201510342358.7
filed in China on Jun. 17, 2015, the entire contents of which are
hereby incorporated by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The disclosure relates to a server, more particularly to a
server having a removable power supply and a protecting component
for preventing electric shock.
BACKGROUND
[0003] In recent year, people have used personal computers, such as
desktop computers and laptops, for dealing with routine matters.
With the development of communication technology, regional
electronic commerce has been evolved into international electronic
commerce so that the conventional personal computers are unable to
satisfy the requirements in the market. Therefore, different kinds
of servers, such as 2 U server, rack server and blade server, are
provided to satisfy the requirements of international electronic
commerce.
[0004] Generally, the server can be provided with a removable power
supply for the convenience of maintaining, upgrading and
transporting the server. However, when a user is maintaining,
upgrading or transporting the server with the power supply turning
on, an electric shock easily occurs to injury the user.
SUMMARY
[0005] According to the disclosure, a server includes a chassis, a
protecting component and at least one power supply. The chassis
includes a case, a cover and a lid. The cover is disposed on the
case so as to form at least one accommodating space. The lid is
detachably disposed on the case and covers the cover. The
protecting component is assembled on the cover and includes a
pressed sheet spring and a first blocking sheet spring. Both the
pressed sheet spring and the first blocking sheet spring includes a
bending section, and the bending sections face each other with a
distance between the bending sections. An end of the pressed sheet
spring and an end of the first blocking sheet spring are both
fastened to the cover together so as to form a fastening part. The
other end of the pressed sheet spring and the other end of the
first blocking sheet spring are connected to each other so as to
form a movable part. The pressed sheet spring and the first
blocking sheet spring are bent or flattened simultaneously when the
movable part being moved relative to the cover. The power supply is
removably disposed in the accommodating space. When the lid is
detached from the case, the bending sections are normally bent so
that at least a part of the bending section of the first blocking
sheet spring is protruded into the accommodating space so as to
prevent the power supply from being disposed in the accommodating
space. When the lid is disposed on the case, the lid presses and
flattens the bending section of the pressed sheet spring so as to
flatten the bending section of the first blocking sheet spring
through the movable part moved relative to the cover; thereby, the
bending sections are flattened due to movement of the movable part.
The bending section of the first blocking sheet spring at the
flattened state is removed from the accommodating space so that the
power supply is capable of being disposed in the accommodating
space.

of sliding grooves 113. The sliding grooves 113 are formed on a top
edge of the first side board 112a and the second side board 112b,
respectively. Each of the sliding grooves 113 includes a first
sliding section 113a and a second sliding section 113b which are
communicated with each other. In this embodiment, extending
directions of the long sides of the first side board 112a and the
second side board 112b is parallel to an X-axis of the coordinate
system, an extending direction of the first sliding section 113a
intersects with the X-axis of the coordinate system, and an
extending direction of the second sliding section 113b is parallel
to the X-axis.
[0027] The cover 120 is disposed on the case 110 so as to form at
least one accommodating space 150. In detail, the cover 120
includes a side plate 121, a top plate 122 and a partition 123. The
side plate 121 stands on the base 111 of the case 110, and the top

surface 122b faces the base 111 of the case 110. The partition 123
stands on the base 111 and is located between the top plate 122 of
the cover 120 and the base 111 of the case 110 so that the base
111, the first side board 112a, the side plate 121, the top plate
122 and the partition 123 form two accommodating spaces 150
together. Each of the two accommodating spaces 150 has an opening
160. Furthermore, the top plate 122 has two guiding rails 122c and
two first through holes 122e. The guiding rails 122c are located on
a side of the top plate 122 further away from the first side board
112a than the other side, and the first through holes 122e are
located between the guiding rails 122c and the first side board
112a. The partition 123 has two notches 123a located on an edge of
the partition 123 further away from the base 111 than the other
edge. The guiding rails 122c, the first through holes 122e and the
notches 123a are for interacting with the protecting component 200,
which is illustrated hereafter.
[0028] The lid 130 is detachably disposed on the case 110, and the
lid 130 covers the cover 120. In detail, the lid 130 includes a
plurality of sliders 131. The sliders 131 are slidably disposed in
the sliding grooves 113, respectively. When the slider 131 slides
into the second sliding section 113b through the first sliding
section 113a along a disposing direction (the negative direction of
the X-axis of the coordinate system), the lid 130 is securely
disposed on the case 110. When the slider 131 along a detaching
direction (the positive direction of the X-axis) to slide out of
the sliding groove 113 through the first sliding section 113a, the
lid 130 is detached from the case 110.
[0029] In this embodiment, the detaching direction of the lid 130
is along the positive direction of the X axis, but the disclosure
is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the detaching
direction of the lid 130 can be along the negative direction of the
X-axis.
[0030] Furthermore, the lid 130 further includes two first
fastening components 132 located at a side of the lid 130 facing
the base 111. The first fastening component 132, for example, is a
protrusion corresponding to the protecting component 200. Details
about the aforementioned relationships are illustrated
thereafter.
[0031] Please refer to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5. FIG. 0.5 is a perspective
view of the protecting component in FIG. 2. The protecting
component 200 includes a pressed sheet spring 210, a first blocking
sheet spring 220 and a connecting sheet 230. The pressed sheet
spring 210 includes a fastening section 211 and a bending section
212 connected to each other, and the first blocking sheet spring
220 includes a fastening section 221 and a bending section 222
connected to each other. The pressed sheet spring 210 and the first
blocking sheet spring 220 are located on the same side of the
connecting sheet 230 and face each other with a distance between
the bending sections 212 and 221. The connecting sheet 230 connects
the bending section 211 of the pressed sheet spring 210 and the
bending section 221 of the first blocking sheet spring 220.
[0032] The top plate 122 of the cover 120 is interposed between the
pressed sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet spring 220.
That is, the pressed sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet
spring 220 are located at two sides of the top plate 122 that are
opposite to each other, respectively. The fastening section 211 and
the fastening section 221 are fastened to the two opposite sides of
the top plate 122 together, for example by a rivet, 400 so as to
form a fastening part of the protecting component 200. The
connecting sheet 230 is slidably disposed in the guiding rails 122c
of the top plate 122 so that the connecting sheet 230 is capable of
moving towards or away from the fastening section 211 and the
fastening section 221 along a Y-axis of the coordinate system, and
thereby forming a movable part of the protecting component 200. The
pressed sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet spring 220
are bent or flattened simultaneously when the movable part moves
relative to the top plate 122 of the cover 120.
[0033] In FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, both of the bending sections 212 and
222 of the pressed sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet
spring 220 are bent. In detail, the bending section 212 of the
pressed sheet spring 210 are protruded from the first surface 122a
of the top plate 122 of the cover 120, and at least a part of the
bending section 222 of the first blocking sheet spring 220 are
protruded into the accommodating spaces 150 from the second surface
122b of the top plate 122. Furthermore, when the first blocking
sheet spring 220 is bent, the bending section 222 is fixed into one
of the notches 123a of the partition 123 and the bending section
222 is supported by the partition 123 so that the partition 123
favorably prevents the bending section 222 from deformation when
the protecting component 200 is pushed by the power supply 300.
[0034] In this embodiment, the protecting component 200 further
includes two second blocking sheet springs 240 located in the
accommodating space 150. Each of the second blocking sheet springs
240 has a connecting end 241 and a fastening end 242 that are
opposite to each other. The connecting end 241 is connected to the
first blocking sheet spring 220. The fastening end 242 includes a
second fastening component 243 which, for example, is a protrusion.
When the first blocking sheet spring 220 is flattened, the first
blocking sheet spring 220 drives the second blocking sheet spring
240 to move upward together, and the fastening component 243 passes
through one of the first through holes 122e so as to abut against a
side of the first fastening component 132 closer to the opening 160
of the accommodation space 150 than the other side, and thereby
preventing the lid 130 from accidentally detached from the case 110
along the detaching direction (the positive direction of the
X-axis).
[0035] In FIG. 4, the connecting end 241 of the second blocking
sheet spring 240 is slantingly connected to the first blocking
sheet spring 220. In detail, a distance D1 between the connecting
end 241 and the opening 160 is less than a distance D2 between the
fastening end 242 and the opening 160. Furthermore, a distance D3
between the connecting end 241 and the base 111 is greater than a
distance D4 between the fastening end 242 and the base 111.
Therefore, when the power supply 300 is inserted into the
accommodating space 150 through the opening 160 with the lid 130
disposed on the case 110, the fastening end 242 is pressed by the
power supply 300 so as to move upward to abut against the first
fastening component 132.
[0036] In order to strengthen the protecting component 200, the
protecting component 200 can include a first reinforcement sheet
spring 250 and a second reinforcement sheet spring 260. The first
reinforcement sheet spring 250 is connected to the connecting sheet
230 and the pressed sheet spring 210. The second reinforcement
sheet spring 260 is connected to the connecting sheet 230 and the
first blocking sheet spring 220. When the bending sections 212 and
222 of the pressed sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet
spring 220 are bent or flattened, the first reinforcement sheet
spring 250 and the second reinforcement sheet spring 260 are also
bent or flattened simultaneously. That is, the connecting sheet 230
slides along the guiding rails 122c so as to bend or flatten the
pressed sheet spring 210, the first blocking sheet spring 220, the
first reinforcement sheet spring 250 and the second reinforcement
sheet spring 260 simultaneously.
[0037] The power supply 300 is capable of being inserted into or
removed from the accommodating space 150 through the opening 160
along the X-axis. An extending direction of the first sliding
section 113a is intersected with a removing direction of the power
supply 300 (the positive direction of the X-axis), and an extending
direction of the second sliding section 113b is parallel to the
removing direction. The power supply 300 is for electrically
connected to the mother board (not shown in the drawings) in the
case 110 as a power source.
[0038] In this embodiment, the detaching direction of the lid 130
is the same as the removing direction of the power supply 300 so
that the second fastening component 243 of the second blocking
sheet spring 240 is closer to the opening 160 than the first
fastening component 132 of the lid 130; thereby the first fastening
component 132 and the second fastening component 243 prevent the
lid 130 from being accidentally detached from the case 110, but the
disclosure is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the
detaching direction of the lid 130 is opposite to the removing
direction of the power supply 300 so that the first fastening
component 132 is closer to the opening 160 than the second
fastening component 243, and the first fastening component 132 and
the second fastening component 243 still prevent the lid 130 from
being accidentally detached from the case 110.

the case 110, there is no any external force applied on the pressed
sheet spring 210 and the first blocking sheet spring 220 so that
the bending sections 212 and 222 are normally bent. Therefore, the
bending sections 212 is protruded from the first surface 122a of
the top plate 122, and the bending sections 222 is protruded into
the accommodating space 150 from the second surface 122b.
[0041] When the power supply 300 is inserted into the accommodating
space 150 along a direction of an arrow A, the bending sections 222
of the first blocking sheet spring 220 prevents the power supply
300 from being disposed in the accommodating space 150. That is,
the bending sections 222 which is bent blocks the way for the
installation of the power supply 300. Therefore, when the user
tries to insert the power supply 300 into the accommodating space
150 with the lid 130 being detached from the case 110, the
protecting component 200 is favorable for blocking the power supply
300 from electrically connected to the motherboard, and thereby
preventing the user from electric shock.
[0042] In FIG. 7A and FIG. 7B, when the lid 130 slides along a
direction of an arrow B and a direction of an arrow C in sequence
to be disposed on the case 110, the bending section 212 of the
pressed sheet spring 210 is pressed by the lid 130 so as to be
flattened. The bending section 212 pressed by the lid 130 drives
the connecting sheet 230 to slide away from the fastening section
211 along a positive direction of the Y-axis, and thereby the
connecting sheet 230 flatten the bending section 222 of the first
blocking sheet spring 220. When the bending section 222 is
flattened, the bending section 222 is removed from the
accommodating space 150 so that the power supply 300 is capable of
being inserted into the accommodating space 150 along the direction
of the arrow A. Therefore, the user is prevented from electric
shock when the lid 130 is disposed on the case 110.
[0043] In FIG. 8, when the power supply 300 is located in the
accommodating space 150, the power supply 300 pushes the fastening
end 242 of the second blocking sheet springs 240 upward (along a
positive direction of a Z-axis) so that the fastening end 242 is
abutted against the side of the first fastening component 132
closer to the opening 160 than the other side. Therefore, the lid
130 is prevented from being detached along the positive directions
of the X-axis and the Y-axis in sequence so as to further prevent
the user from electric shock.
[0044] In FIG. 9A and FIG. 9B, when the power supply 300 is removed
from the accommodating space 150 along a direction of an arrow D,
the fastening end 242 of the second blocking sheet springs 240 is
moved away from the first fastening component 132 along the
negative direction of the Z-axis since the power supply 300 stops
pushing the fastening end 242. Therefore, since the power supply
300 is removed, the user is capable of detaching the lid 130 along
the directions of the arrow E and F in sequence without any risk of
electric shock.
[0045] In this embodiment, the protecting component 200 is
assembled on the top plate 122 of the cover 120, but the disclosure
is not limited thereto. In other embodiments with the number of the
accommodating space 150 is only one, the protecting component 200
can be assembled on the side plate 121, and the lid 130 can
includes an extending plate extended towards the base 111. When the
lid 130 is assembled on the case 110, the extending plate presses
the bending section 212 of the pressed sheet spring 210 at the side
plate 121.
[0046] The protecting component includes the pressed sheet spring,
the first blocking sheet spring, the connecting sheet, the second
blocking sheet spring, the first reinforcement sheet spring and the
second reinforcement sheet spring in the first embodiment, but the
disclosure is not limited thereto. Please refer to FIG. 10, which
is a perspective view of a protecting component according to a
second embodiment.
[0047] In this embodiment, a protecting component 200a includes the
pressed sheet spring 210, the first blocking sheet spring 220, the
connecting sheet 230 and the second blocking sheet spring 240.
Specifically, the protecting component 200a includes without the
first reinforcement sheet spring 250 and the second reinforcement
sheet spring 260 which are shown in the first embodiment. The
protecting component 200a is also bent or flattened by the lid 130,
and such illustration can be referred to the description in the
first embodiment.
[0048] FIG. 11 is a perspective view of a protecting component
according to a third embodiment. In this embodiment, a protecting
component 200b includes the pressed sheet spring 210, the first
blocking sheet spring 220 and the connecting sheet 230.
Specifically, the protecting component 200b includes without the
second blocking sheet spring 240, the first reinforcement sheet
spring 250 and the second reinforcement sheet spring 260 which are
shown in the first embodiment. The protecting component 200b is
also bent or flattened by the lid 130, and such illustration can be
referred to the description in the first embodiment.
[0049] In the first embodiment, the two bending sections of the
pressed sheet spring and the first blocking sheet spring are
located at two sides of the top plate that are opposite to each
other, respectively, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.
Please refer to FIG. 12, which is a cross-sectional view of a
protecting component assembled on a cover according to a fourth
embodiment.
[0050] In this embodiment, the top plate 122 has a guiding slot
122d located at a side of the top plate 122 further away from the
base 111 than the other side. The top plate 122 further has a
second through hole 122f located near the guiding slot 122d. The
two bending sections 211 and 221 of the pressed sheet spring 210
and the first blocking sheet spring 220 are fastened to the side of
the top plate 122 further away from the base 111 than the other
side. The connecting sheet 230 of the protecting component 200 is
slidably disposed in the guiding slot 122d so that the connecting
sheet 230 is capable of moving towards or moving away from the
fastening section 212 and the fastening section 222 along the
Y-axis of the coordinate system, thereby forming a movable part of
the protecting component 200. The pressed sheet spring 210 and the
first blocking sheet spring 220 are bent or are flattened
simultaneously when the movable part moves relative to the top
plate 122 of the cover 120. Furthermore, when the bending sections
211 and 221 are bent, the bending section 212 is protruded from the
first surface 122a of the top plate 122, and the bending section
222 is protruded into the accommodating spaces 150 from the second
surface 122b of the top plate 122.
[0051] According to the disclosure, the server includes the
protecting component, and the bending sections of the pressed sheet
spring and the first blocking sheet spring of the protecting
component are bent or flattened simultaneously. When the lid
presses the bending section of the pressed sheet spring, both of
the bending sections are flattened and the bending section of the
first blocking sheet spring is removed from the accommodating space
so that the power supply is capable of being inserted into the
accommodating space. When the lid is removed, both of the bending
sections are bent normally and the bending section of the first
blocking sheet spring is protruded into the accommodating space so
that the power supply is prevented from being inserted into the
accommodating space. Therefore, when the user tries to insert the
power supply into the accommodating space with the lid being
detached from the case, the protecting component is favorable for
preventing the user from electric shock.
[0052] Furthermore, the second blocking sheet spring is slantingly
connected to the first blocking sheet spring. When the lid is
disposed on the case and the power supply is inserted into the
accommodating space, the fastening end of the second blocking sheet
spring is pressed by the power supply so as to move upward to abut
against the first fastening component of the lid. Therefore, it is
favorable for preventing the lid from being detached by the user
when the power supply is located in the accommodating space, and
thereby further preventing the user from electric shock.
