Description

Hard disk system and its hard disk framework

The invention relates to a hard disk device, in particular to a hard disk system and a hard disk frame device thereof.

In recent years, there has been a common demand for high-density storage servers and the need to install multiple hard drives inside the server. With the development of server equipment, more and more storage hardware has been converted to EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) specifications, which has improved capacity, scalability, performance, heat dissipation, density and other advantages. EDSFF commonly has E3.S and E3.S 2T with different thicknesses. Generally speaking, in order to be compatible with hard drives of different thicknesses, a thick hard drive carrier bezel is required to be backward compatible with the thinner E3.s. This not only increases the production cost, but also because the thick hard drive carrier of E3.s takes up more space, the number of E3.s hard drives installed in the chassis is reduced, resulting in low density. The assembly is inconvenient and causes trouble to users, which is worthy of careful consideration and further discussion and improvement by practitioners.

Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a hard disk system with good practicality.

Therefore, the new hard disk system includes a housing, a circuit board unit, and a plurality of hard disk frames that can support hard disks of different thicknesses and sizes and are combined in the housing. The housing includes a shell body. The shell body has a first opening and a second opening located at two opposite sides.

The circuit board unit is arranged on the housing and corresponds to the first opening, and includes a connector module, which can be used to connect multiple hard disks with a first thickness and multiple hard disks with a second thickness, wherein the second thickness is greater than the first thickness.

Each hard disk frame can be combined with any hard disk and each hard disk frame can be detachably combined in the shell of the case. Each hard disk frame includes a mounting frame, a first panel extending from the mounting frame in a direction away from the circuit board unit and corresponding to the second opening, and a second panel detachably combined on the first panel and corresponding to the second opening.

If the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk of the first thickness size, each hard disk of the first thickness size is combined with the corresponding mounting frame and is blocked by the corresponding first panel to form a first hard disk device, and the first hard disk device is moved into the housing through the second opening and the connector module connected to the circuit board unit is inserted. At this time, the first panel of the first hard disk device cooperates to block the second opening. If the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk of the second thickness size, the second panel of each hard disk frame is combined with each first panel. When each hard disk of the second thickness size is combined with the corresponding mounting frame and is blocked by the corresponding first panel and the corresponding second panel to form a second hard disk device, and the second hard disk device is moved into the housing from the second opening and the connector module connected to the circuit board unit is inserted. At this time, the first panel of the second hard disk device cooperates with the second panel to block the second opening.

Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide a hard disk frame with good practicality.

Therefore, the new hard disk frame can support the combination of hard disks of various thicknesses. The hard disk frame includes a mounting frame, a first panel extending from the mounting frame in a direction away from the circuit board unit, and a second panel detachably combined with the first panel.

If the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk of a first thickness dimension, the hard disk is combined with the mounting frame and is shielded by the first panel to form a first hard disk device; if the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk of a second thickness dimension, the second panel of the hard disk frame is combined with the first panel, and when the hard disk is combined with the corresponding mounting frame and is shielded by the corresponding first panel and the corresponding second panel to form a second hard disk device. The second thickness dimension is greater than the first thickness dimension.

The utility model has the following advantages: the second panel of the hard disk frame can be detachably combined with the first panel, so as to meet the combination requirements of the hard disk with the second thickness size, and the hard disk to be combined with the mounting frame and covered by the first panel can be combined into a first hard disk device, or the hard disk to be combined with the second thickness size can be combined with the second panel of the hard disk frame on the first panel, and the second thickness size can be combined with the second panel of the hard disk frame on the second panel. The hard disk of the first thickness size is combined with the corresponding mounting frame and the hard disk of the second thickness size is shielded by the corresponding first panel and the corresponding second panel to form a second hard disk device. The overall assembly is convenient and practical. It effectively improves the problem that in the past, in order to be compatible with the hard disks of the first thickness size and the second thickness size, a hard disk outer frame with a high thickness panel is used to combine with a thin hard disk of the first thickness size, resulting in a larger overall occupied space and a reduction in the number of hard disks of the first thickness size that can be installed in the housing.

Before the present invention is described in detail, it should be noted that similar components are represented by the same reference numerals in the following description.

1 to 11, the embodiment of the novel hard disk system includes a housing 1, a circuit board unit 2, and a plurality of hard disk frames 5 that can support hard disks of different thicknesses and sizes to be combined in the housing 1. The housing 1 includes a shell 11. The shell 11 has a first opening 111 and a second opening 112 located at two opposite sides.

The circuit board unit 2 is disposed on the housing 11 and corresponds to the first opening 111, and includes a connector module 21, which can be plugged and connected to multiple hard disks 30 of a first thickness size and multiple hard disks 40 of a second thickness size. The second thickness size is greater than the first thickness size.

Each hard disk frame 5 can be combined with any hard disk (the hard disk 30 of the first thickness size or the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size) and each hard disk frame 5 can be detachably combined with the housing 11 of the housing 1. Each hard disk frame 5 includes a mounting frame 51, a first panel 52 extending from the mounting frame 51 in a direction away from the circuit board unit 2 and corresponding to the second opening 112, and a second panel 53 detachably combined with the first panel 52 and corresponding to the second opening 112.

If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 30 of the first thickness size, each hard disk 30 of the first thickness size is combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is covered by the corresponding first panel 52 to form a first hard disk device 3, and the first hard disk device 3 is moved into the housing 11 from the second opening 112 and the connector module 21 connected to the circuit board unit 2 is inserted. At this time, the first panel 52 of the first hard disk device 3 cooperates to block the second opening 112. If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size, the second panel 53 of each hard disk frame 5 is combined on each first panel 52. When each hard disk 40 of the second thickness size is combined on the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is blocked by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 to form a second hard disk device 4, and the second hard disk device 4 is moved into the housing 11 from the second opening 112 and the connector module 21 connected to the circuit board unit 2 is inserted. At this time, the first panel 52 and the second panel 53 of the second hard disk device 4 cooperate to block the second opening 112.

If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension (see FIG. 1), during assembly, each hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension is first combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is covered by the corresponding first panel 52 as shown in FIG. 2 to form a first hard disk device 3. Finally, the first hard disk device 3 is moved into the housing 11 through the second opening 112 and the connector module 21 connected to the circuit board unit 2 is inserted. At this time, the first panel 52 of the first hard disk device 3 is matched to cover the second opening 112 as shown in FIG. 9, and the assembly operation is completed.

If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 40 of the second thickness dimension (see FIG. 3), during assembly, each hard disk 40 of the second thickness dimension is first combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is covered by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 as shown in FIG. 4 to form a second hard disk device 4. Finally, the second hard disk device 4 is moved into the housing 11 through the second opening 112 and the connector module 21 connected to the circuit board unit 2 is inserted. At this time, the first panel 52 and the second panel 53 of the second hard disk device 4 are matched and cover the second opening 112 as shown in FIG. 11, and the assembly operation is completed. That is to say, by designing that the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 can be detachably coupled to the first panel 52, the coupling requirements of the thicker hard disk 40 of the second thickness size can be met; relatively speaking, if the hard disk to be coupled is a thinner hard disk 30 of the first thickness size, the first panel 52 of the hard disk frame 5 does not need to be coupled to the second panel 53 separately. It is only necessary to couple each hard disk 30 of the first thickness size to the mounting frame 51 and be blocked by the first panel 52 to form the first hard disk device 3 as shown in FIG. 2, so that the first hard disk device 3 is coupled to the housing 11 as shown in the figure and the first panel 52 is matched to block the second opening 112 as shown in FIG. 9, so as to achieve the goal of maintaining a high density of the first hard disk devices 3 coupled to the housing 11.

In addition, if the hard disks to be combined are a mixed combination structure of a hard disk 3 of the first thickness size and a hard disk 40 of the second thickness size (see Figures 12 and 13), during assembly, it is only necessary to combine each hard disk of the first thickness size in the required number onto the corresponding mounting frame 51 and be covered by the corresponding first panel 52 as shown in Figure 2 to form the first hard disk device 3, and to combine each hard disk of the second thickness size in the required number onto the corresponding mounting frame 51 and be covered by the corresponding first panel 52 and second panel 53 as shown in Figure 4 to form the second hard disk device 4. Finally, the first hard disk device 3 and the second hard disk device 4 are respectively moved into the housing 11 through the second opening 112 and the connector module 21 connected to the circuit board unit 2 is inserted. At this time, the first panel 52 of the first hard disk device 3 and the first panel 52 and the second panel 53 of the second hard disk device 4 are matched as shown in FIG. 13 to block the second opening 112, and the assembly operation is completed, but not limited to this.

Incidentally, in this embodiment, the hard disk is a solid state hard disk that complies with the EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) E3 specification. The hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension is the E3.S specification dimension, and the thickness of the E3.S hard disk is 7.5 mm; the hard disk 40 of the second thickness dimension is the E3.S 2T specification dimension, and the thickness of the E3.S 2T is 16.8 mm. In other words, the design of the hard disk frame 5 of this embodiment that is detachably combined with the first panel 52 through the second panel 53 can support the combination requirements of solid state hard disks of different thickness specifications such as E3.S hard disk and E3.S 2T hard disk, but is not limited thereto.

The second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 is detachably coupled to the first panel 52, so that the coupling requirement of the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size can be met. The hard disk 30 of the first thickness size can be coupled to the mounting frame 51 and covered by the first panel 52 to form a first hard disk device 3, or the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size can be coupled to the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 to form a first hard disk device 3. 0 is combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size is shielded by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 to form a second hard disk device 4. The overall assembly is convenient and practical, and the problem that in the past, in order to be compatible with the hard disk 30 of the first thickness size and the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size, a hard disk outer frame with a high thickness panel is used to combine with the thin hard disk 30 of the first thickness size, resulting in a larger overall occupied space and a reduction in the number of hard disks 30 of the first thickness size that can be installed in the housing 11 is effectively improved.

It should be particularly noted that, in this embodiment, the first panel 52 of each hard disk frame 5 has a first body 521, and a first coupling unit 522 disposed on the first body 521 and capable of coupling with the second panel 53. Each second panel 53 has a second body 531, and a second coupling unit 532 disposed on the second body 531 and extending from the second body 531 toward the first coupling unit 522 of the first panel 52 and detachably coupled with the first coupling unit 522. Further, in this embodiment, the first coupling unit 522 of each first panel 52 has a plurality of first bayonet holes 523 formed on the first body 521. The second coupling unit 532 of each second panel 53 has a plurality of second buckle members 533 corresponding to the first bayonet holes 523 of the first coupling unit 522 and detachably fastening the first bayonet holes 523. In short, the second combining unit 532 of each second panel 53 is designed to correspond to the first bayonet 523 and be detachably fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523 through the second fastener 533. During assembly, the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is initially combined with the corresponding first body 521. Then, the second body 531 is moved and the second fastener 533 is simultaneously moved in the direction of the corresponding first bayonet 523 (towards direction A), and the second fastener 533 is moved so that the second fastener 533 is respectively fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523, so that the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is combined with the first body 521 of the corresponding first panel 52 as shown in FIG. 4, thereby completing the tool-free assembly operation. In particular, in this embodiment, the first combining unit 522 of each first panel 52 further has a plurality of first grooves 524 recessed on a side of the second body 531 of the first body 521 close to the second panel 53. The second combining unit 532 of each second panel 53 further has a plurality of second stoppers 534 corresponding to the first grooves 524 of the first combining unit 522 and movably limited in the first grooves 524. That is, when the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is moved and the second fastener 533 is simultaneously moved toward the direction of the corresponding first bayonet 523, the second stopper 534 is simultaneously moved toward the direction of the corresponding first groove 524, and the second fastener 533 is moved to be fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523 and the second stopper 534 is simultaneously limited to the corresponding first groove 524, that is, the second combination unit of each second panel 53. In addition to fastening each second panel 53 to the corresponding first panel 52 by the second fastener 533 to the first slot 523 of the first connecting unit 522 of the corresponding first panel 52, the second limiting member 534 of the second connecting unit is further utilized to limit the first groove 524 of the corresponding first connecting unit 522, thereby effectively assisting in increasing the stability of each second panel 53 connected to the corresponding first panel 52, but not limited to this. In contrast, if each second panel 53 is to be detached from the corresponding first panel 52, force is applied to move the second body 531 of the second panel 53 to be detached in a B direction (opposite to the A direction) and drive the second fastener 533 to move in a direction away from the corresponding first bayonet 523 and synchronously move the second limiting member 534 in a direction away from the corresponding first groove 524, and move the second fastener 533 to disengage from the corresponding first bayonet 523 and synchronously move the second limiting member 534 to move away from the corresponding first groove 524, so that the second panel 53 can be detached from the corresponding first panel 52, but not limited to this.

In addition, it should be noted that, in this embodiment, each hard disk 30 (of the first thickness dimension) includes a hard disk body 31 and a positioning hole unit 32 disposed on the hard disk body 31. Each hard disk body 31 has a fixed edge 311 coupled to the corresponding hard disk frame 5, and two side edges 312 extending from two opposite sides of the fixed edge 311 in a direction away from the fixed edge 311. The positioning hole unit 32 of each hard disk has two first fixing holes 321 respectively recessed on the side edges 312 of the corresponding hard disk body 31, and two second fixing holes 322 recessed on the fixed edges 311 of the corresponding hard disk body 31. (In addition, each hard disk 40 (of the second thickness dimension) includes a hard disk body 41, and a positioning hole unit 42 disposed on the hard disk body 41. Each hard disk body 41 has a fixed edge 411 coupled to the corresponding hard disk frame 5, and two side edges 412 extending from two opposite sides of the fixed edge 411 toward a direction away from the fixed edge 411. The positioning hole unit 42 of each hard disk has two first fixing holes 421 respectively recessed on the side edges 412 of the corresponding hard disk body 41, and two second fixing holes 422 recessed on the fixed edges 411 of the corresponding hard disk body 41). The following description takes each hard disk 30 (of the first thickness dimension) as an example. Each hard disk frame 5 further includes two side walls 54 extending from two opposite sides of the mounting frame 51 in a direction away from the mounting frame 51, and two first positioning members 55 respectively disposed on the side walls 54 and respectively extending from the side walls 54 toward the first fixing holes 321 of the corresponding hard disks 30 and extending into the first fixing holes 321. Each hard disk 30 frame 5 further includes two stoppers 56 disposed on the mounting frame 51 and corresponding to the two fixing holes of each hard disk 30, and two second positioning members 57 disposed on the stoppers 56 and respectively extending from the stoppers 56 toward the second fixing holes 322 and extending into the second fixing holes 322. That is, the hard disk 30 body of each hard disk 30 is inserted into the first positioning member 55 of the corresponding hard disk 30 frame 5 through the first fixing hole 321 and is inserted into the second positioning member 57 of the corresponding hard disk 30 frame 5 through the second fixing hole 322 so that the fixed edge 311 and the side edge 312 of the hard disk 30 body are firmly combined on the corresponding mounting frame 51, but not limited to this.

By the way, in the present embodiment, the shell 11 of the casing 1 further has a bottom plate 113, a top plate 114 parallel and spaced apart from the bottom plate, and two connecting plates 115 extending upward from two opposite sides of the bottom plate 113 and connected to the top plate 114. The bottom plate 113, the connecting plate 115 and the connecting plate 115 together define the first opening 111 and the second opening 112. The circuit board unit 2 further includes a circuit board 22 disposed on the base plate 113 and electrically connected to a main board (not shown). The connector module 21 has a plurality of first connectors 211 disposed on the circuit board 22 at longitudinal intervals and capable of supporting the plug-in connection of any hard disk 30 of a first thickness size, and a plurality of second connectors 212 disposed on the circuit board 22 at longitudinal intervals and capable of supporting the plug-in connection of any hard disk 30 of a first thickness size and any hard disk 40 of a second thickness size (see FIG. 7 ), but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, the embodiment of the new hard disk frame 5 can support the combination of a hard disk of various thicknesses. The hard disk frame 5 includes a mounting frame 51, a first panel 52 extending from the mounting frame 51 in a direction away from the circuit board unit 2, and a second panel 53 detachably combined with the first panel 52 and corresponding to the second opening 112.

If the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk 30 of a first thickness dimension, the hard disk 30 is combined with the mounting frame 51 and is blocked by the first panel 52 to form a first hard disk device 3; if the hard disk to be combined is a hard disk 40 of a second thickness dimension, the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 is combined with the first panel 52, and when the hard disk 40 is combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is blocked by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 to form a second hard disk device 4. The second thickness dimension is greater than the first thickness dimension.

If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension (see FIG. 1 ), during assembly, each hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension is first combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is covered by the corresponding first panel 52 as shown in FIG. 2 to form a first hard disk device 3, thus completing the assembly operation.

If the hard disk to be combined is the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size (see FIG. 3 ), during assembly, each hard disk 40 of the second thickness size is first combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and is covered by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 as shown in FIG. 4 to form a second hard disk device 4, and the assembly operation is completed. In other words, the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 is detachably combined with the first panel 52 to meet the combination requirements of the thicker hard disk 40 of the second thickness size; in contrast, if the hard disk to be combined is the thinner hard disk 30 of the first thickness size, the first panel 52 of the hard disk frame 5 does not need to be combined with the second panel 53 separately, and each hard disk 30 of the first thickness size only needs to be combined with the mounting frame 51 and covered by the first panel 52 to form the first hard disk device 3 as shown in FIG. 2 .

Incidentally, in this embodiment, the hard disk is a solid state hard disk that complies with the EDSFF (Enterprise and Datacenter SSD Form Factor) E3 specification. The hard disk 30 of the first thickness dimension is the E3.S specification dimension, and the thickness of the E3.S hard disk is 7.5 mm; the hard disk 40 of the second thickness dimension is the E3.S 2T specification dimension, and the thickness of the E3.S 2T is 16.8 mm. In other words, the design of the hard disk frame 5 of this embodiment that is detachably combined with the first panel 52 through the second panel 53 can support the combination requirements of the solid state hard disks of different thickness specifications of the E3.S hard disk 30 and the E3.S 2T hard disk 40, but is not limited thereto.

It should be particularly noted that, in this embodiment, the first panel 52 of each hard disk frame 5 has a first body 521, and a first coupling unit 522 disposed on the first body 521 and capable of coupling with the second panel 53. Each second panel 53 has a second body 531, and a second coupling unit 532 disposed on the second body 531 and extending from the second body 531 toward the first coupling unit 522 of the first panel 52 and detachably coupled with the first coupling unit 522. Further, in this embodiment, the first coupling unit 522 of each first panel 52 has a plurality of first bayonet holes 523 formed on the first body 521. The second coupling unit 532 of each second panel 53 has a plurality of second buckle members 533 corresponding to the first bayonet holes 523 of the first coupling unit 522 and detachably fastening the first bayonet holes 523. In short, the second combining unit 532 of each second panel 53 is designed to correspond to the first bayonet 523 and be detachably fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523 through the second fastener 533. During assembly, the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is initially combined with the corresponding first body 521. Then, the second body 531 is moved and the second fastener 533 is simultaneously moved in the direction of the corresponding first bayonet 523 (towards direction A), and the second fastener 533 is moved so that the second fastener 533 is respectively fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523, so that the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is combined with the first body 521 of the corresponding first panel 52 as shown in FIG. In particular, in this embodiment, the first combining unit 522 of each first panel 52 further has a plurality of first grooves 524 recessed on a side of the second body 531 of the first body 521 close to the second panel 53. The second combining unit 532 of each second panel 53 further has a plurality of second stoppers 534 corresponding to the first grooves 524 of the first combining unit 522 and movably limited in the first grooves 524. That is, when the second body 531 of each second panel 53 is moved and the second fastener 533 is simultaneously moved toward the direction of the corresponding first bayonet 523, the second stopper 534 is simultaneously moved toward the direction of the corresponding first groove 524, and the second fastener 533 is moved to be fixed to the corresponding first bayonet 523 and the second stopper 534 is simultaneously limited to the corresponding first groove 524, that is, the second combination unit of each second panel 53. In addition to fastening each second panel 53 to the corresponding first panel 52 by the second fastener 533 to the first slot 523 of the first connecting unit 522 of the corresponding first panel 52, the second limiting member 534 of the second connecting unit is further utilized to limit the first groove 524 of the corresponding first connecting unit 522, thereby effectively assisting in increasing the stability of each second panel 53 connected to the corresponding first panel 52, but not limited to this. In contrast, if each second panel 53 is to be detached from the corresponding first panel 52, force is applied to move the second body 531 of the second panel 53 to be detached in a B direction (opposite to the A direction) and drive the second fastener 533 to move in a direction away from the corresponding first bayonet 523 and synchronously move the second limiting member 534 in a direction away from the corresponding first groove 524, and move the second fastener 533 to disengage from the corresponding first bayonet 523 and synchronously move the second limiting member 534 to move away from the corresponding first groove 524, so that the second panel 53 can be detached from the corresponding first panel 52, but not limited to this.

In summary, the present invention can meet the requirements of combining a hard disk 40 of the second thickness size by detachably combining the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5. The hard disk 30 of the first thickness size can be combined with the mounting frame 51 and covered by the first panel 52 to form a first hard disk device 3, or the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size can be combined with the second panel 53 of the hard disk frame 5 to form a first hard disk device 3. The hard disk 40 of the first thickness size is combined with the corresponding mounting frame 51 and the hard disk 40 of the second thickness size is shielded by the corresponding first panel 52 and the corresponding second panel 53 to form a second hard disk device 4. The overall assembly is convenient and practical, and it effectively improves the problem that in the past, in order to be compatible with the hard disks 40 of the first thickness size and the second thickness size, a hard disk outer frame with a high thickness panel is used to combine with the thin hard disk 30 of the first thickness size, resulting in a larger overall occupied space and a reduction in the number of hard disks 30 of the first thickness size that can be installed in the housing 11.

However, the above is only an example of the implementation of the present invention, and it cannot be used to limit the scope of the implementation of the present invention.
