Patent number: 10531589Abstract: A server casing includes a frame and a plate connecting structure disposed in the frame and including a plate and a board. A first rivet hole of the plate has a first outer hole edge and a first inner hole edge greater than the first outer hole edge. A first guide surface connects the first outer hole edge and the first inner hole edge. The board has a board edge corresponding to the first rivet hole. A first arm is formed on the board edge. After the first arm is pressed to abut against the first guide surface, the pressed first arm deforms along the first guide surface to be located in the first rivet hole, so as to fix the board to the plate.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Zhi-Peng Zou, Zhong-hui Mao, Zi-Wei He

Patent number: 9603278Abstract: A server casing includes a frame having first and second plates and a plate connecting structure including first and second side boards extending from the first and second plates respectively and having first and second opening structures and first and second riveting structures respectively. A first outer periphery of the first opening structure is larger than a first inner periphery, and a first limiting surface extends therebetween. A second outer periphery of the second opening structure is less than a second inner periphery, and a second limiting surface extends therebetween. The first and second riveting structures have third and fourth limiting surfaces respectively. When the second riveting structure is engaged with the second opening structure and the second and fourth limiting surfaces abuts against each other, the first riveting structure is pressed to engage with the first opening structure and the first and third limiting surfaces abuts against each other.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2016Date of Patent: March 21, 2017Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Zhi-Peng Zou, Zhong-hui Mao, Zi-Wei He

Publication number: 20170020021Abstract: A server housing includes a housing bottom plate including an engaging hole and a hidden tray device including a tray bottom plate, a switch body, and a handle member. The tray bottom plate includes a receiving opening, a guiding trough, a first surface, and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The receiving opening and guiding trough penetrate through the tray bottom plate. The second surface is near the housing bottom plate. The switch body fastened to the first surface includes an engaging portion. The engaging portion passes through the receiving opening and is in the engaging hole. The handle member includes a handle body, a guiding portion, and a pressing unit. The guiding portion is connected to the handle body and is disposed in the guiding trough. The handle body and the pressing unit are between the tray bottom plate and the housing bottom plate.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2015Publication date: January 19, 2017Inventors: Zhong-Hui MAO, Zhi-Peng ZOU

Publication number: 20160374227Abstract: A server includes a chassis, a protecting component and at least one power supply. The chassis includes a case, a cover and a lid. The cover is disposed on the case to form at least one accommodating space, and the lid is detachably disposed on the case and covers the cover. The protecting component is assembled on the cover and includes a pressed sheet spring and a first blocking sheet spring. Both the pressed sheet spring and the first blocking sheet spring includes a bending section, and the bending sections are separated apart. The two sheet springs are fastened to the cover to form a fastening part, and the two sheet springs are connected to each other to form a movable part. The two sheet springs move simultaneously when the movable part is moved relative to the cover. The power supply is removably disposed in the accommodating space.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2015Publication date: December 22, 2016Inventors: Zhi-Peng ZOU, Zhong-Hui MAO

Patent number: 9454190Abstract: A fixing mechanism which is capable of assembling an expansion card module includes a base, a latch and a resilient component. The expansion card module slidably inserts into the base. The latch pivots to an accommodating portion of the base to switch between a first position and a second position. The latch includes a pressing portion and a pushing portion connected with each other. The pressing portion presses a side of the expansion card module since the latch is switched to the first position. The pushing portion pushes an opposite side of the expansion card module since the latch is switched to the second position, so as to upwardly move the expansion card module relative to the base. The resilient component is located inside the accommodating portion to actuate the latch and drives the latch to stay at the second position.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: Wistron CorporationInventors: Zhong-hui Mao, Peng-Cheng Zhang, Yu Chen, Zhi-Peng Zou, Shan-Gen Du

Publication number: 20150315811Abstract: A handle module adapted to a chassis is provided. The chassis includes a main body and a cover. The handle module includes a base, a handle, a sliding component and a linking rod. The base is disposed on the cover. The handle is pivoted to the base. The sliding component is connected to the main body and is slidably disposed on the base. Two ends of the linking rod are pivoted to the handle and the sliding component respectively. When the handle closed to the base is rotated relative to the base to be expanded from the base, the handle pulls the sliding component to slide relative to the base along a first axis by the linking rod, so as to drive the cover to move from a first position to a second position relative to the main body along the first axis.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2014Publication date: November 5, 2015Inventors: Zhong-Hui Mao, Shan-Gen Du, Zhi-Peng Zou
