Abstract

The present application discloses a case assembly for a server and a server having same. The case assembly ( 100 ) is divided into a first case body ( 10 ) and a second case body ( 20 ) in a first direction, both a side of the first case body ( 10 ) that faces the second case body ( 20 ) and a side of the second case body ( 20 ) that faces the first case body ( 10 ) are open, and the first case body ( 10 ) and the second case body ( 20 ) are detachably connected and jointly define an accommodation space.

Claims (20)

1. A case assembly for a server, wherein in a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction that are perpendicular to each other, a dimension of the case assembly in the first direction is greater than a dimension of the case assembly in the second direction and greater than a dimension of the case assembly in the third direction; and

the case assembly is divided into a first case body and a second case body in the first direction, both a side of the first case body that faces the second case body and a side of the second case body that faces the first case body are open, and the first case body and the second case body are detachably connected and jointly define an accommodation space,

wherein the dimension of the case assembly in the second direction is greater than the dimension of the case in the third direction, one of the first case body and the second case body has a sliding rail extending in the second direction, the other of the first case body and the second case body is provided with a sliding groove that cooperates with the sliding rail, and an end portion of the sliding groove is provided with internal threads.

2. The case assembly for a server according to claim 1 , wherein the sliding rail comprises:

a connecting portion, with one side of the connecting portion connected to the one of the first case body and the second case body and extending in the second direction; and

a limiting portion, connected to the other side of the connecting portion and extending in the second direction, with a maximum width of the limiting portion in the third direction greater than a maximum width of the connecting portion in the third direction.

3. The case assembly for a server according to claim 2 , wherein a cross section of the limiting portion is formed with a shape of a circle, an ellipse, or a polygon.

4. The case assembly for a server according to claim 1 , wherein an edge of the first case body that is adjacent to the second case body is formed with a first reinforcing portion, the first reinforcing portion is located on an outer surface of a side wall of the first case body in the third direction, a thickness of the first reinforcing portion is greater than a wall thickness of the first case body, and one of the sliding rail and the sliding groove is provided on the first reinforcing portion; and/or

an edge of the second case body that is adjacent to the first case body is formed with a second reinforcing portion, the second reinforcing portion is located on an outer surface of a side wall of the second case body in the third direction, a thickness of the second reinforcing portion is greater than a wall thickness of the second case body, and the other of the sliding rail and the sliding groove is provided on the second reinforcing portion.

5. The case assembly for a server according to claim 1 , further comprising:

at least one limiting member, wherein a length of the sliding rail is less than a length of the sliding groove, and the limiting member is inserted into the end portion of the sliding groove and abuts against an end face of the sliding rail.

6. The case assembly for a server according to claim 5 , wherein the limiting member is provided with external threads that cooperate with the internal threads.

7. The case assembly for a server according to claim 1 , wherein a diagonal length of a section of the first case body that is perpendicular to the second direction is L1, a diagonal length of a section of the second case body that is perpendicular to the second direction is L2, L1<280 mm, and L2<280 mm.

8. The case assembly for a server according to claim 7 , wherein L1<220 mm and L2<220 mm.

9. The case assembly for a server according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first case body and the second case body comprises:

a bottom plate; and

two side plates, wherein the two side plates are connected to edges on two sides of the bottom plate in a one-to-one correspondence, the side plates are arranged perpendicular to the bottom plate, and the two side plates cooperate with the bottom plate to define a part of the accommodation space.

10. The case assembly for a server according to claim 9 , further comprising:

at least one end plate, wherein the at least one end plate seals at least one side of the accommodation space in the second direction, and the end plate is connected to the first case body and the second case body.

11. The case assembly for a server according to claim 10 , wherein the periphery of the end plate is formed with bent edges that bend toward the first case body and the second case body, one part of the bent edges abuts against an outer wall surface of the first case body, and the other part of the bent edges abuts against an outer wall surface of the second case body.
