Abstract

A server includes a chassis and a plurality of hard disk drive modules. The chassis includes a body, a partition, a cover plate, and at least one sound deadening structure. The body includes an opening and an accommodating space. The partition is disposed at the opening. The partition includes a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and at least one flow channel. The first side surface faces the accommodating space, and the flow channel penetrates the first and the second side surfaces. The cover plate is disposed at the opening. The cover plate includes a plurality of ventilation holes. The sound deadening structure is disposed between the second side surface of the partition and the cover plate. The sound deadening structure includes a sound absorbing element and a reflecting element. The hard disk drive modules are accommodated in the accommodating space.

Claims (30)

1 . A chassis, applied to a server comprising a plurality of hard disk drive modules, the chassis comprising:

a body, comprising an opening and an accommodating space, the hard disk drive modules being accommodated in the accommodating space;

a partition, disposed at the opening, the partition comprising a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and at least one flow channel, the first side surface facing the accommodating space, and the flow channel penetrating the first side surface and the second side surface;

a cover plate, disposed at the opening of the body, the cover plate comprising a plurality of ventilation holes; and

at least one sound deadening structure, disposed between the second side surface of the partition and the cover plate and corresponding to the flow channel, the sound deadening structure comprising a sound absorbing element and a reflecting element, and the reflecting element being disposed on one side surface of the sound absorbing element.

2 . The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein a density of the sound absorbing element is less than a density of the reflecting element.

3 . The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein a material of the sound absorbing element comprises a porous material.

4 . The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting element comprises a plastic plate or a metal plate.

5 . The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein the reflecting element is disposed on the sound absorbing element and faces the second side surface of the partition.

6 . The chassis according to claim 1 , wherein the flow channel has an inlet, and a first distance is formed between the sound deadening structure and the inlet.

7 . The chassis according to claim 6 , wherein a ratio of the first distance to an inner diameter of the flow channel is between 0.5 and 2.

8 . The chassis according to claim 6 , wherein a projective plane of the sound deadening structure projected onto the partition covers the inlet.

9 . The chassis according to claim 6 , wherein a second distance is formed between a side wall of the flow channel and an extension line of a side wall of the sound deadening structure, and a ratio of the second distance to the first distance is between 1 and 2.

10 . The chassis according to claim 6 , wherein an end of the flow channel close to the inlet comprises a diversion portion.

11 . A server, comprising:

a chassis, comprising:

a body, comprising an opening and an accommodating space;

a partition, disposed at the opening, the partition comprising a first side surface, a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, and at least one flow channel, the first side surface facing the accommodating space, and the flow channel penetrating the first side surface and the second side surface; and

a cover plate, disposed at the opening of the body, the cover plate comprising a plurality of ventilation holes;

at least one sound deadening structure, disposed between the second side surface of the partition and the cover plate and corresponding to the flow channel, the sound deadening structure comprising a sound absorbing element and a reflecting element, and the reflecting element being disposed on one side surface of the sound absorbing element; and

a plurality of hard disk drive modules, accommodated in the accommodating space.

12 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein a density of the sound absorbing element is less than a density of the reflecting element.

13 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein a material of the sound absorbing element comprises a porous material.

14 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein the reflecting element comprises a plastic plate or a metal plate.

15 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein the reflecting element is disposed on the sound absorbing element and faces the second side surface of the partition.

16 . The server according to claim 11 , wherein the flow channel has an inlet, and a first distance is formed between the sound deadening structure and the inlet.

17 . The server according to claim 16 , wherein a ratio of the first distance to an inner diameter of the flow channel is between 0.5 and 2.

18 . The server according to claim 16 , wherein a projective plane of the sound deadening structure projected onto the partition covers the inlet.

19 . The server according to claim 16 , wherein a second distance is formed between a side wall of the flow channel and an extension line of a side wall of the sound deadening structure, and a ratio of the second distance to the first distance is between 1 and 2.

20 . The server according to claim 16 , wherein an end of the flow channel close to the inlet comprises a diversion portion.
