Abstract
A fixing mechanism and a server, including a housing and a sliding member. The housing is used for accommodating an expansion card. The fixing member is slidably arranged on the housing and is used to form a limiting fit with a first limiting portion on the expansion card to lock the expansion card in the housing. The sliding member is slidably arranged on the housing, the sliding member can slide along the first direction and the reverse direction of the first direction, the first direction is the direction in which the expansion card enters the housing.
Claims18
A fixing mechanism configured for a server, comprising:
- a housing configured for accommodating an expansion card;
- at least one fixing member slidably arranged on the housing and configured for connecting with the expansion card;
- and
- at least one sliding member slidably arranged on the housing and slidable along a first direction and an opposite direction of the first direction,
- wherein the first direction is a direction in which the expansion card enters the housing, the sliding member comprises a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion which are interconnected;
- when a portion of the fixing member is connected to the first supporting portion, the fixing member forms a limiting fit with a first limiting portion on the expansion card, thereby locking the expansion card from the housing;
- and
- when the portion of the fixing member is connected to the second supporting portion, the fixing member is disengaged from the first limiting portion, thereby unlocking the expansion card from the housing.
A server, comprising:
- a casing and
- a fixing mechanism arranged on the casing, the fixing mechanism comprising:
- a housing configured for accommodating an expansion card;
- at least one fixing member slidably arranged on the housing and configured for connecting with the expansion card;
- and
- at least one sliding member slidably arranged on the housing and slidable along a first direction and an opposite direction of the first direction,
- wherein the first direction is a direction in which the expansion card enters the housing, the sliding member comprises a first supporting portion and a second supporting portion which are interconnected;
- when a portion of the fixing member is connected to the first supporting portion, the fixing member forms a limiting fit with a first limiting portion on the expansion card, thereby locking the expansion card from the housing;
- and
- when the portion of the fixing member is connected to the second supporting portion, the fixing member is disengaged from the first limiting portion, thereby unlocking the expansion card from the housing.
The server 10, wherein the fixing member comprises a mounting portion and a second limiting portion, the mounting portion is slidably arranged on the housing, the mounting portion is connected to the first supporting portion or the second supporting portion, the second limiting portion is configured to form the limiting fit with the first limiting portion on the expansion card to lock the expansion card;
- the second limiting portion comprises a guiding block that gradually narrows in an opposite direction of a second direction, which is the sliding direction of the fixing member when unlocking the expansion card.
