FIG. 17 is an illustration showing the third, fourth and fifth embodiments of the present invention that can be adjusted for space therein.
In each one of the embodiments of the present invention, the supporting rack 2, 2a is arranged at any arbitrary position of the rack chassis 1, and the specific positions of the arrangements are described in detailed along with the each one of the embodiments in the following. In addition, the supporting rack 2, 2a can be used for supporting any objects, such as a solid state disk or a solid state drive (known as SSD), cooling liquid tank for cooling, hard drive or optical drive and so on; the present invention is not limited to any type of specific objects, and the following uses each one of the embodiments for illustration.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, a mainframe computer according to a first embodiment of the present invention comprises: a rack chassis 1 and a supporting rack 2a. The rack chassis 1 is a mainframe chassis of the mainframe computer, the supporting rack 2a is arranged on the rack chassis 1. In this embodiment, the supporting rack 2a can be detachably arranged on the rack chassis 1.
The rack chassis 1 includes a first rack 12, the first rack 12 includes a plurality of first positioning members 152. Each of the first positioning members 152 can be arbitrarily arranged or systematically aligned. In this embodiment, the first positioning members 152 are aligned into a first positioning member row 15 by way of an example for illustration purposes.
The supporting rack 2a includes at least one first corresponding positioning member 28 positioned corresponding to any one of the at least one first positioning member 152; in other words, the first positioning member 152 and the first corresponding positioning member 28 can be positioned corresponding to each other. In addition, the quantity of the first corresponding positioning member 28 can be one, two or more than two, and the present invention is not limited to any quantity; however, in this embodiment, a quantity of two members are used as an example for illustration purposes.
Wherein the first positioning member 152 and the first corresponding positioning member 28 can be of the configuration of a hole and a protruding column for insertion onto each other correspondingly, and they are not limited in any way as to which one must be the hole or the protruding column; however, in this embodiment, the first positioning member 152 is the hole and the first corresponding positioning member 28 is the protruding column as an example for illustration purposes.
Accordingly, the two first corresponding positioning members 28 of the supporting rack 28 can be inserted into any positions corresponding to the two first positioning members 152 on the first rack 12 in order to be positioned therein and to allow the object (such as the cooling liquid tank 6 as shown in FIG. 1 but the present invention is not limited to such object only) supported on the supporting rack 2a to be positioned on the first rack 12 of the rack chassis 1.
The aforementioned first corresponding member 28 can be any type of structure that is capable of being inserted onto the first positioning member 152 correspondingly in order to be positioned thereon, and in this embodiment, the later structure is used as an example for illustration purposes (please also refer to FIG. 12): the first corresponding positioning member 28 comprises a positioning shaft 281 and a rubber sleeve 282 surrounding the positioning shaft 281, one end of the positioning shaft 281 is connected to the supporting rack 2a (such as via an integral connection, soldering or screw fastening connection). Accordingly, when the first corresponding positioning member 28 is inserted into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152, the outer edge of the rubber sleeve 282 contacts with the inner edge at a position corresponding to the first positioning member 152 (hole) with an interference such that it is positioned therein.
Furthermore, the positioning shaft 281 includes one end and another end facing toward each other. One end of the positioning shaft 281 is connected to the supporting rack 2a, as shown in FIG. 12, the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 282 gradually decreases from one end of the positioning shaft 281 toward a direction of the another end thereof in order to allow the first corresponding positioning member 28 to be inserted onto the first positioning member 152 without any precise alignment. In addition, since a deeper insertion would cause the inner edge of the rubber sleeve 282 to be further pressed against the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152 (hole), a greater effect of positioning can be achieved such that in situation where the rack chassis 1 is tilted or tipped over, the supporting rack 2a would not be disengaged easily.
As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the mainframe computer according to a second embodiment of the present invention is generally identical to the aforementioned first embodiment, and the difference relies in that the structure of the first corresponding positioning member 29 is different from the aforementioned first corresponding positioning member 28 and the structure of the first positioning member 152 is also different. Please refer to the following for further details.

In addition, the positions of the second corresponding positioning member 23 and the hole 26 arranged on the supporting rack 2 are obliquely facing toward the positions of the first corresponding positioning member 24 arranged on the supporting rack 2 (as shown in FIG. 8). Additionally, the supporting rack 2 includes the aforementioned first side 22 and the second side 21, it further includes a third side 20 connected between the first side 22 and the second side 21. In this embodiment, the first corresponding positioning member 24 is arranged on the first side 22, the second corresponding positioning member 23 (together with the hole 26) is arranged on the second side 21. The positions of the first corresponding positioning member 24 and the second corresponding positioning member 23 (together with the hole 26) are arranged in a direction obliquely facing toward each other on the third side 20 (as shown in FIG. 8). The quantities of the first corresponding positioning members 24 and second corresponding positioning members 23, respectively, can be one, two or more than two, and the present invention is not limited to any quantities. For example, the first and second corresponding positioning members 24, 23 in the third embodiment are of the quantities of two members (as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7).
The second positioning member 111 is a linear insertion hole of an I shape, and the second corresponding positioning member 23 is a protruding ear for inserting into a position corresponding to the insertion hole. In addition, a lower edge adjacent to a free end of the protruding ear includes a hook portion 231 protruded therefrom. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, when the second corresponding positioning member 23 (protruding ear) is inserted into the position corresponding to the second positioning member 111 (insertion hole), the hook portion 231 of the second corresponding positioning member 23 is able to reversely hooked onto the inner surface of the second rack 11 in order to allow the supporting rack 2 to be hooked onto the second rack 11 despite that only the second corresponding positioning member 23 of the second side 21 is inserted therein (at this time, the first corresponding positioning member 24 of the first side 22 is not yet positioned onto the first rack 12); in addition, due to the effect of reverse hooking by the hook portion 231, the supporting rack 2 is able to use one end of the second side 21 to hook onto the second rack 11 of the rack chassis 1 such that when the first corresponding positioning member 24 is positioned onto the first rack 12, the user is not required to use the hand to manually hold the supporting rack 2 and the effect of facilitated assembly can be achieved.
Please refer further to FIG. 8 and FIG. 10. The first rack 12 includes a first column member 12a. The first column member 12a comprises a first plate 121, a third plate 123 and a second plate 122 connected between the first plate 121 and the third plate 123. Wherein, one ends of the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 are connected with each other to form a bending shape, and another end of the second plate 122 and one end of the third plate 123 are also connected with each other to form a bending shape.
The aforementioned first positioning member row 15 is formed between the first plate 121 and the second plate 122 of the first column member 12a. Each of the first positioning members 151 of the first positioning member row 15 comprises an opening 1511 and a notch 1512 connected to each other. Wherein, the opening 1511 is formed on the first plate 121 adjacent to the second plate 122, and the notch 1512 is formed on the second plate 122 adjacent to the first plate 121.
As shown in FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the first corresponding positioning member 24 comprises a shaft portion 242 and a cap portion 241 connected to one end of the shaft portion 242, and another end of the shaft portion 242 is connected to the first side 22 of the supporting rack 2. The present invention is not limited to any manner of connecting the shaft portion 242 to the first side 22, which can be an insertion connection, a riveting connection or a screw fastening connection. In this embodiment, the screw fastening connection is used as an example for illustration purposes; accordingly, the shaft portion 242 refers to a screw shaft in this embodiment.
Wherein the opening diameter dimensions of the opening 1511, cap portion 241, notch 1512 and shaft portion 242 are: inner diameter of the opening 1511>outer diameter of the cap portion 241>inner diameter of the notch 1512>outer diameter of the shaft portion 242. Therefore, the cap portion 241 is allowed to pass through the position corresponding to the opening 1511, the shaft portion 242 is able to enter into the position corresponding to the notch 1512. As shown in FIG. 10, at this time, the side of the cap portion 241 connected to the shaft portion 242 is formed to be of an inverted hook shape at a position corresponding to the notch 1512 adjacent (or next to) to the second plate 122 in order to allow the supporting rack 2 to be more firmly positioned onto the rack chassis 1.
Accordingly, during the assembly of the supporting rack 2 in the third embodiment of the present invention, first, the second corresponding positioning member 23 of the second side 21 is correspondingly inserted into the second positioning member 111 of the second rack 11, so as to make the supporting rack 2 to use one end of the second side 21 to hook onto the rack chassis 1 without the need for holding it manually by hand. Next, the supporting rack 2 uses such hooking area as an axis to rotate the first corresponding positioning member 24 toward the direction of the first positioning member 151 (as shown in FIG. 8) in order to allow the first corresponding positioning member 24 could enter into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 151 and the cap portion 241 would be reversely hooked onto the second plate 122 at the position corresponding to the notch 1512 and to be positioned thereon (as shown in FIG. 9), therefore, the supporting rack 2 is positioned onto the rack chassis 1. Certainly, screw fastening members 27 can be further used for fastening between the hole 26 and the screw hole 112 correspondingly; therefore, the supporting rack 2 can be more firmly secured onto the rack chassis 1.
Certainly, for the removal of the supporting rack 2 already installed, the screw fastening members 27 can be simply removed first, followed by reversely rotating the supporting rack 2 with the hooking area of the supporting rack 2 as the rotational axis, such that the first corresponding positioning member 24 can be disengaged from the first positioning member 151. Finally, the two corresponding positioning members 23 can be disengaged from the second positioning members 111 in a reverse direction in order to completely remove the supporting rack 2 from the rack chassis 1.
FIG. 12 and FIG. 13 show a fourth embodiment of the present invention. The fourth embodiment of the present invention is generally identical to the third embodiment, and the difference relies in that it further includes another first corresponding positioning member 25 identical to the aforementioned first corresponding positioning member 24 while each of the first positioning members 151 is aligned into two first positioning member rows 15, 16. Please refer to the following for further details.
The first rack 12 of the rack chassis 1 further includes a second column member 12b identical to the aforementioned first column member 12a. Therefore, the second column member 12b also includes another first positioning member row 16 identical to the aforementioned first positioning member row 15. Wherein, the another first positioning member row 16 also comprises a plurality of first positioning members 151.
As for the supporting rack 2, it includes at least another first corresponding positioning member 25 identical to the aforementioned first corresponding positioning member 24 and arranged on the first side 22 adjacent to the second end 222 such that during the assembly of the supporting rack 2, the two first corresponding positioning members 24, 25 can be respectively positioned onto the positions corresponding to the first positioning members 151 of the two first positioning member rows 15, 16 at the same time. Therefore, it is of a greater stability than that of the first embodiment.
For the quantities of the arrangement of the first corresponding positioning members 24 and the another first corresponding positioning member 25, one (as shown in FIG. 13) or a plurality of (not shown in the figures) the first corresponding positioning members 24 can be arranged on the first side 22 adjacent to the first end 221, and one (as shown in FIG. 13) or a plurality of (not shown in the figures) the another first corresponding positioning member 25 can be arranged on the first side 22 adjacent to the second end 222. The present invention is not limited to any particular quantities. Wherein, when the quantity of arrangement is one for each, the positions of the first corresponding positioning member 24 and the another first corresponding positioning member 25 on the first side 22 are arrange to obliquely face toward each other (as shown in FIG. 13) in order to obtain a greater stability. Alternatively, there can be a plurality (such as two or more than two) of the first corresponding positioning members 24 and/or the another first corresponding positioning members 25.
FIG. 14, FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 show a fifth embodiment of the present invention. The fifth embodiment is generally identical to the aforementioned third embodiment, and the difference relies in that the structure of the first corresponding positioning member is different, and the first positioning member formed on the first rack 12 is also different. Please refer to the following for further details.
The first corresponding positioning member 28 in the fifth embodiment comprises a positioning shaft 281 and a rubber sleeve 282 surrounding the positioning shaft 281, and one end of the positioning shaft 281 is connected to the first side 22 of the supporting rack 2. In this embodiment, the configuration in which the positioning shaft 281 comprises a shaft portion 2811, a cap portion 2812 connected to one end of the shaft portion 2811 and a threaded section 2813 connected to another end of the shaft portion 2812 is used as an example for illustration purposes. Accordingly, the positioning shaft 281 can use its threaded section 2813 for fastening onto the first side 22 and use the cap portion 2812 and the rubber sleeve 282 to generate interference. The first positioning member 152 is a through hole (as shown in FIG. 14) corresponding to the first corresponding positioning member 28.
As a result, the first corresponding positioning member 28 is able to directly insert into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152 of the through-hole type, and at this time, the outer edge of the rubber sleeve 282 contacts with the inner edge of the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152 to generate interference such that the effect of shock absorbing and firm insertion therebetween can achieved.
In addition, since the first corresponding positioning member 28 is able to directly insert into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152, the supporting rack 2 can be positioned onto the rack chassis 1 with a generally linear moveable method such that it does not require the rotation of the aforementioned third embodiment or the fourth embodiment for the positioning thereof, which makes its assembly to be more convenient than those of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment. Also, during the positioning, it allows the second corresponding positioning member 23 to be inserted into the position corresponding to the second positioning member 111, and it also allows the first corresponding positioning member 28 to be inserted into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152.
Furthermore, the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 282 gradually decreases from the threaded section 2813 toward the direction of the cap portion 2812 such that an outer diameter differential distance d (as shown in FIG. 16) is generated between the largest outer diameter and the smallest outer diameter of the rubber sleeve 282. Therefore, it is of the effect of facilitated insertion of the first positioning member 152.
The supporting rack 2 can only be arranged with the first corresponding positioning member 28 on the first side 22 adjacent to the first end 221 (as shown in the figure), and the first rack 12 of the rack chassis 1 can be formed of the first positioning member row 15 comprising a plurality of first positioning members 152 (as show in the figure). Certainly, another first corresponding positioning member (not shown in the figure) identical to the first corresponding positioning member 28 can also be arranged on the first side 22 adjacent to the second end 222, and the first rack 12 can be further formed of another first positioning row (not shown in the figure) comprising a plurality of first positioning members; the present invention is not limited to such configurations only.
As shown in FIG. 17, with the supporting rack 2 provided in the aforementioned embodiments, it further includes at least the following effects:
The interface cards 7 shown in the aforementioned embodiments are all interface cards with a normal length such that they would not generate any interference with the supporting rack 2.
However, when the situation of an elongated interface card 9 is used and the interference with the supporting rack 2 occurs, it only requires that the position of the supporting rack 2 arranged on the rack chassis 1 to be adjusted in order to easily prevent the interference caused by the elongated interface card 9. Therefore, it is of the effect that the internal space of the rack chassis 1 is adjustable.
Furthermore, the optical drive rack 3 can also be removed, and the space after the removal of the optical drive rack 3 can be modified for the arrangement of the supporting rack 2 in order to increase the quantity of the installation of the hard drive 5. Therefore, it is of greater flexibility for usages.
In view of the above, the present invention is of the following effects in comparison to the prior arts: by using the supporting rack 2, 2a positioned onto the rack chassis 1, various types of objects (such as: solid state disk, cooling liquid tank for cooling, hard drive or optical drive and so on) can be easily and conveniently installed onto the mainframe computer.
Furthermore, the present invention is also of other effects, such like:
(1) With the hook portion 231 of the second corresponding positioning member 23, it can be reversely hooked onto the second rack 11 in order to prevent the supporting rack 2 from falling off, and the user is not required to hold the supporting rack 2 manually by hand; therefore, it is of the effect of facilitated assembly.
(2) With the rubber sleeve 282 surrounding the first corresponding positioning member 28, it is of the following two effects accordingly: A. the outer edge of the rubber sleeve 282 is able to contact with the inner edge at the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152 to generate interference such that it is of the effects of shock absorbing and firm insertion therebetween; B. since the first corresponding positioning member 28 is able to directly insert into the position corresponding to the first positioning member 152, the supporting rack 2 can be positioned onto the rack chassis 1 with a generally linear moveable method, allowing the assembly to be more direct and more convenient.
(3) With the second rack 11 and the first rack 12 of the rack chassis 1 being formed of a plurality of second positioning members 111 and a plurality of first positioning members 151 (152) thereon respectively, and with the second side 21 and the first side 22 of the supporting rack 2 being arranged with the second corresponding positioning member 23 and the first corresponding positioning member 24 (28) thereon respectively, the supporting rack 2 is allowed to be selectively positioned at any position on the rack chassis 1.
