  • Patent number: 10104803
    Abstract: A conveying apparatus with a lift mechanism includes a carrier, a holder, and a lift handle. The holder is pivoted to the carrier and swings between an operating angle and a maintenance angle. A first arm of the lift handle has an acting end, a resistance end, and a second pivot disposed between the acting end and the resistance end and pivoted to the holder. The first arm further has a protruding length protruding from the bottom side of the holder. When the first arm rotates around the second pivot, the resistance end protrudes the protruding length from the bottom side to rest against the carrier and the holder is lifted to the maintenance angle using the protruding length. Therefore, the storage devices in the holder, originally difficult to be maintained, can be lifted and maintained simply and quickly.

  • Publication number: 20180081410
    Abstract: A chassis structure capable of sensing temperature of a media storage device includes a tray. The tray includes a body, an accommodating space formed in the body, a connector disposed on the body, and a temperature sensor juxtaposed with the connector. The media storage device is electrically coupled to the connector and contacts the temperature sensor. A working temperature is measured by a temperature sensor directly attached to an outer housing of the media storage device, thereby avoiding influences such as air flow and undesired heat conduction of the chassis structure.

  • Patent number: 9491884
    Abstract: A server cabinet drawer structure includes a carrying tray, a movably swappable frame and a lifting element. The movably swappable frame is carried by the carrying tray, and a side of the movably swappable frame is pivotally connected to the carrying tray by a pivot. The lifting element is provided for lifting the movably swappable frame away from the carrying tray and connected to the carrying tray and the movably swappable frame, so as to facilitate users to swap a data storage unit in the movably swappable frame.

  • Publication number: 20160073524
    Abstract: An assembly structure for use in a storage media of server includes: a base, formed with an accommodation space for accommodating a storage media; and a rotary cover plate, one end thereof is rotatably pivoted on the base, and the rotary cover plate includes a top plate, a push plate and a force plate. The push plate and the force plate are oppositely arranged at two sides of the top plate. The rotary cover plate is able to be engaged relative to the base thereby enabling the force plate to push the storage media for being electrically connected to the base, or to be opened relative to the base thereby enabling the push plate to push the storage media for being disconnected with the base. Accordingly, the storage media is enabled to be easily assembled or detached.

  • Patent number: 9265173
    Abstract: A storage device slow descent structure includes a chassis (100) and an elevating element (200). The chassis (100) includes a front load plate (110), a rear load plate (120), and a sliding unit (130). An end portion (132) of the sliding unit (130) is slidably connected to one side of the rear load plate (120). The elevating element (200) includes two linkages (210) respectively having a front end (212) and a rear end (214). The two linkages (210) are respectively connected to the front load plate (110) and the end portion (132). The rear end (214) is pivotally connected to the slide member (134). The front end (212) is pivotally connected to the front load plate (110). A self-weight of the front load plate (110) drives the rear end (214) to slide from one end to the other end of the slide member (134).
