Abstract

A server includes a tray, a handle structure, a first hard disk assembly and a second hard disk assembly. The tray is removably disposed on a server cabinet. Two ends of the handle structure are respectively slidably pivoted to two inner walls of the tray. The first hard disk assembly is movably disposed in the tray. The second hard disk assembly is disposed in the tray. The first hard disk assembly and the second hard disk assembly are placed side by side. Two sides of the first hard disk assembly, which are opposite to each other, are pivoted to the handle structure. When the handle structure is pivoted and slide relative to the tray, the first hard disk assembly is pivotable between a stored position and an inclined position by the handle structure.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A server, comprising:
a tray removably disposed on a server cabinet;
a handle structure, two ends of the handle structure respectively slidably pivoted to two inner walls of the tray;
a first hard disk assembly movably disposed in the tray;
a second hard disk assembly disposed in the tray, the first hard disk assembly and the second hard disk assembly being placed side by side; and
a processing module being disposed in the tray, the second hard disk assembly and the processing module are respectively located at a front side and a rear side of the first hard disk assembly, the second hard disk assembly being side by side with the front side of the first hard disk assembly, and the processing module being side by side with the rear side of the first hard disk assembly,
wherein two sides of the first hard disk assembly, which are opposite to each other, are pivoted to the handle structure,
wherein when the handle structure is pivoted and slide relative to the tray, the first hard disk assembly is pivotable between a stored position and an inclined position by being driven by the handle structure,
wherein when the first hard disk assembly is in the stored position, the first hard disk assembly is laid on the tray and a first opening at the front side of the first hard disk assembly is covered by the second hard disk assembly, and
wherein when the first hard disk assembly is pivoted from the stored position to the inclined position, the rear side of the first hard disk assembly presses against the tray, and the front side of the first hard disk assembly is relatively away from the tray in order to leave the first opening at the front side exposed.

2. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the handle structure is slidable relative to the tray in a first direction to pivot the first hard disk assembly from the stored position to the inclined position, when the first hard disk assembly is pivoted from the stored position to the inclined position, the handle structure and the first hard disk assembly are pivoted in opposite directions until the rear side of the first hard disk assembly presses against the tray, and the front side of the first hard disk assembly is lifted relative to the tray in order to leave the first opening exposed.

3. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the handle structure comprises a bridge part and two supporting parts, each of the supporting parts has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the bridge part is located between and connected to the two first ends of the two supporting parts, the tray comprises a bottom plate and two side plates, the two side plates are respectively disposed on two sides of the bottom plate opposite to each other, the two side plates and the bottom plate together form an storage space, the tray has two rails, the two rails are respectively located at the two inner walls of the two side plates, the two supporting parts are respectively pivoted to two sides of the first hard disk assembly opposite to each other, and the two second ends of the two supporting parts are respectively slidably connected to the two rails.

4. The server according to claim 3 , wherein the first hard disk assembly is pivoted between the two first ends and the two second ends of the two supporting parts.

5. The server according to claim 3 , wherein when the first hard disk assembly is in the stored position, the first hard disk assembly is laid on the tray, and the handle structure is laid on the first hard disk assembly.

6. The server according to claim 5 , wherein when the handle structure is pivoted relative to the first hard disk assembly, and the bridge part of the handle structure is moved away from the first hard disk assembly, the two second ends of the two supporting parts of the handle structure are respectively slid along the two rails in a first direction, and the handle structure and the first hard disk assembly are pivoted in opposite directions; the first hard disk assembly is pivoted by the handle structure from the stored position to the inclined position, and the first opening is exposed when the first hard disk assembly is in the inclined position.

7. The server according to claim 1 , wherein the handle structure further comprises a first fastener; when the first hard disk assembly is in the stored position, the first hard disk assembly and the processing module are placed adjacent to each other, the handle structure is laid on the first hard disk assembly, and the handle structure is fastened to the processing module via the first fastener.

8. The server according to claim 7 , further comprising a second fastener, disposed on a side of the processing module facing the first hard disk assembly, the second fastener having a fastening indentation; when the handle structure is laid on the first hard disk assembly, the first fastener of the handle structure is engaged with the fastening indentation of the second fastener in order to fix the handle structure to the processing module.

9. The server according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first hard disk assembly and the second hard disk assembly is configured to store a plurality of hard disks.
