Abstract

A frame structure includes a first frame, a rail, a handle, a buckle, a second frame, and buffer members. The first frame includes a bottom plate and side plates. The bottom plate and the side plates define an accommodation space. The rail is located on each of the side plates. One end of the handle is movably disposed on the rails. The buckle is located on the first frame and detachably fastened with the handle. The second frame is movably received in the accommodation space. One end of each buffer member is fixed to a bottom surface of the second frame, and another end resists the bottom plate. The handle is coupled to the second frame. When the handle is separated from the buckle, the handle is pushed or pulled to remove the second frame from the accommodation space or press the second frame into the accommodation space.

Claims (71)

1. A frame structure comprising:

a first frame comprising a bottom plate and two oppositely disposed side plates, the bottom plate and the two side plates cooperatively defining an accommodation space;

a rail located on each of the two side plates;

a handle, one end of the handle movably disposed on the two rails;

a buckle located on the first frame and detachably fastened with the handle;

a second frame movably received in the accommodation space, the second frame comprising a first shaft bracket and a rotating shaft, the first shaft bracket coupled to an end of the second frame away from the buckle, and rotationally coupled to the corresponding side plate of the first frame through the rotating shaft; and

a plurality of buffer members, one end of each of the plurality of buffer members fixed to a bottom surface of the second frame, and another end of each of the plurality of buffer members configured to resist the bottom plate; wherein:

the handle is coupled to the second frame; and

when the handle is separated from the buckle, the handle is pushed or pulled along the rails to remove the second frame from the accommodation space or press the second frame into the accommodation space.

2. The frame structure of claim 1 , further comprising a torsion spring, wherein:

one end of the torsion spring is coupled to a side of the second frame, and the other end of the torsion spring is detachably connected to the handle; and

when the buckle is fastened to the handle, the torsion spring is in a compressed state.

3. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

the first shaft bracket comprises a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a rotating portion;

the first connecting portion is coupled to a front panel of the second frame, and the second connecting portion is coupled to a bottom surface of a front end of the second frame;

the rotating portion is located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion; and

the rotating shaft is installed on the rotating portion.

4. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

the second frame further comprises a second shaft bracket fixed on the corresponding side plate; and

the first shaft bracket is rotationally coupled to the second shaft bracket through the rotating shaft.

5. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

a groove is in an end of the handle;

the buckle comprises a protrusion; and

when the handle is engaged with the buckle, the protrusion is received in the groove.

6. The frame structure of claim 5 , wherein:

an end of the buckle away from the protrusion is provided with a restoring member; and

one end of the restoring member is coupled to the buckle, and the other end of the restoring member abuts the first frame.

7. The frame structure of claim 5 , wherein:

the buckle further comprises a pushing portion and an indication arrow;

the pushing portion protrudes from a surface of the buckle facing the side plate; and

the indication arrow indicates an unlocking direction of the buckle.

8. The frame structure of claim 1 , wherein:

the handle further comprises a roller located at an end of the handle coupled to the rail; and

the roller is movably disposed in the rail.

9. A server comprising:

a hard disk module; and

a frame structure, the hard disk module installed in the frame structure, the frame structure comprising:

a first frame comprising a bottom plate and two oppositely disposed side plates, the bottom plate and the two side plates cooperatively defining an accommodation space;

a rail located on each of the two side plates;

a handle, one end of the handle movably disposed on the two rails;

a buckle located on the first frame and detachably fastened with the handle;

a second frame movably received in the accommodation space, the second frame comprising a first shaft bracket and a rotating shaft, the first shaft bracket coupled to an end of the second frame away from the buckle, and rotationally coupled to the corresponding side plate of the first frame through the rotating shaft; and

a plurality of buffer members, one end of each of the plurality of buffer members fixed to a bottom surface of the second frame, and another end of each of the plurality of buffer members configured to resist the bottom plate; wherein:

the handle is coupled to the second frame; and

when the handle is separated from the buckle, the handle is pushed or pulled along the rails to remove the second frame from the accommodation space or press the second frame into the accommodation space.

10. The server of claim 9 , wherein:

the frame structure further comprises a torsion spring;

one end of the torsion spring is coupled to a side of the second frame, and the other end of the torsion spring is detachably connected to the handle; and

when the buckle is fastened to the handle, the torsion spring is in a compressed state.

11. The server of claim 9 , wherein:

the first shaft bracket comprises a first connecting portion, a second connecting portion, and a rotating portion;

the first connecting portion is coupled to a front panel of the second frame, and the second connecting portion is coupled to a bottom surface of a front end of the second frame;

the rotating portion is located between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion; and

the rotating shaft is installed on the rotating portion.

12. The server of claim 9 , wherein:

the second frame further comprises a second shaft bracket fixed on the corresponding side plate; and

the first shaft bracket is rotationally coupled to the second shaft bracket through the rotating shaft.

13. The server of claim 9 , wherein:

a groove is in an end of the handle;

the buckle comprises a protrusion; and

when the handle is engaged with the buckle, the protrusion is received in the groove.

14. The server of claim 13 , wherein:

an end of the buckle away from the protrusion is provided with a restoring member; and
