Abstract

A server chassis includes a housing provided with a receiving cavity and an opening. A number of trays is arranged in the receiving cavity in a stacked manner. Two sides of each tray are slidably coupled to the housing. Each of the trays is configured to slide out or retract into the receiving cavity through the opening. Each of the trays is used for carrying hard disks in multiple arrays. A difference between a height of the housing and a total height of the trays is less than a height of one tray.

Claims (50)

1 . A server chassis comprising:

a housing provided with a receiving cavity and an opening, a height of the housing being 2U;

a plurality of trays arranged in the receiving cavity in a stacked manner, two sides of each of the plurality of trays slidably coupled to the housing, each of the plurality of trays configured to slide out or retract into the receiving cavity through the opening, and each of the plurality of trays used for carrying hard disks in multiple arrays; wherein:

a difference between a height of the housing and a total height of the plurality of trays is less than a height of one tray;

wherein two handles are respectively provided on two sides of each of the plurality of trays, one end of each of the two handles is rotationally installed at a bottom edge of a corresponding one tray, and another end of each of the two handles is rotated to extend or retract the bottom edge of the corresponding one tray.

2 . The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein:

the plurality of trays is arranged in three layers.

3 . The server chassis of claim 2 , wherein:

a height of each tray is 27.3 mm.

4 . The server chassis of claim 3 , wherein:

each tray is used to carry 3.5-inch hard disks.

5 . The server chassis of claim 4 , wherein:

each tray carries eight 3.5-inch hard disks, and the hard disks are arranged in a 2×4 array.

6 . The server chassis of claim 5 , wherein:

a maximum distance that the tray extends through the opening is 410 mm.

7 . The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein:

at least one handle is provided at an outer end of each tray.

8 . The server chassis of claim 1 , wherein:

a rear end of each tray is provided with a wire embedding mechanism for arranging cables coupled between the rear end of the tray and an inside of the housing.

9 . The server chassis of claim 8 , wherein:

the wire embedding mechanism comprises a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod;

one end of the first connecting rod is rotationally coupled to one end of the second connecting rod;

another end of the first connecting rod is coupled to the rear end of the tray; and

another end of the second connecting rod is coupled to the housing.

10 . A server chassis comprising:

a housing provided with a receiving cavity and an opening, the opening communicating with the receiving cavity;

a plurality of trays arranged in the receiving cavity in a stacked manner, two sides of each of the plurality of trays slidably coupled to the housing, each of the plurality of trays configured to slide out or retract into the receiving cavity through the opening, and each of the plurality of trays used for carrying a plurality of hard disks; and

a plurality of wire embedding mechanisms respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of trays, one end of the wire embedding mechanism coupled to a rear end of the respective tray, and another end of the wire embedding mechanism coupled to the housing, the wire embedding mechanism configured to fold when the tray is retracted into the housing and unfold when the tray is extended out of the housing; wherein:

a difference between a height of the housing and a total height of the plurality of trays is less than a height of one tray; and

a total length of the wire embedding mechanism is greater than a distance that the tray moves through the opening;

wherein two handles are respectively provided on two sides of each of the plurality of trays, one end of each of the two handles is rotationally installed at a bottom edge of a corresponding one tray, and another end of each of the two handles is rotated to extend or retract the bottom edge of the corresponding one tray.

11 . The server chassis of claim 10 , wherein:

the plurality of trays is arranged in three layers.

12 . The server chassis of claim 11 , wherein:

a height of each tray is 27.3 mm.

13 . The server chassis of claim 12 , wherein:

each tray is used to carry 3.5-inch hard disks.

14 . The server chassis of claim 13 , wherein:

each tray carries eight 3.5-inch hard disks, and the hard disks are arranged in a 2×4 array.

15 . The server chassis of claim 14 , wherein:

a maximum distance that the tray extends through the opening is 410 mm.

16 . The server chassis of claim 15 , wherein:

at least one handle is provided at an outer end of each tray.

17 . The server chassis of claim 16 , wherein:

a rear end of each tray is provided with a wire embedding mechanism for arranging cables coupled between the rear end of the tray and an inside of the housing.

18 . The server chassis of claim 17 , wherein:

the wire embedding mechanism comprises a first connecting rod and a second connecting rod;

one end of the first connecting rod is rotationally coupled to one end of the second connecting rod;

another end of the first connecting rod is coupled to the rear end of the tray; and

another end of the second connecting rod is coupled to the housing.
