Abstract

A server chassis is provided. The server chassis includes a chassis body, a hard disk cage and a top cover. The upper surface of the hard disk cage is fixed on the hard disk cage such that the upper surface of the hard disk cage and the hard disk cage would form an integral whole. The hard disk cage could be removably assembled on the chassis body, so as to conveniently change the hard disks with different sizes therebetween. Therefore, the top cover of the present invention would fully cover the rear portion of the upper surface of the hard disk cage without changing the size or adding another cover, so as to achieve the purpose of integral whole assembling.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A server chassis, comprising:
 a chassis body, having a front end and a rear end opposite to the front end, the chassis body comprising a bottom plate and two sidewalls both parallel and opposite to each other, so as to form an opening;   a hard disk cage, removably assembled on the front end of the chassis body, the hard disk cage having an upper surface shielding a portion of the opening, the upper surface having a first surface and a first side, wherein a length of the whole hard disk cage is one of sizes, and a length of the upper surface is a fixed size; and   a top cover, assembled on the rear end of the chassis body, for shielding the other portion of the opening, the top cover having a second surface and a second side, the second surface and the first surface being coplanar, and the second side being parallel and adjacent to the first side, wherein the top cover further comprises a first folded edge and a second folded edge both perpendicular to the second side, the first and the second folded edges respectively have a first section and a second section, both of the first sections shrink inwardly to be placed in the two sidewalls of the chassis body, and both of the second sections are exposed to the two sidewalls of the chassis body.   
   
   
       2 . The server chassis according to  claim 1 , wherein:
 a plurality of first embedded portions protrude from the first side of the upper surface and extend to the bottom of the second surface of the top cover; and   a plurality of second embedded portions protrude from the second side of the top cover and extend to the bottom of the first surface of the upper surface,   wherein the first embedded portions and the second embedded portions are staggered.   
   
   
       3 . The server chassis according to  claim 2 , wherein the first embedded portions are parallel to and separate at a distance from each other to form a plurality of first slots between the first embedded portions. 
   
   
       4 . The server chassis according to  claim 3 , wherein a width of an opening of the first slots is substantially equal to a width of the corresponding second embedded portions. 
   
   
       5 . The server chassis according to  claim 2 , wherein the second embedded portions are parallel to and separate at a distance from each other to form a plurality of second slots between the second embedded portions. 
   
   
       6 . The server chassis according to  claim 5 , wherein a width of an opening of the second slots is substantially equal to a width of the corresponding first embedded portions. 
   
   
       7 . The server chassis according to  claim 2 , wherein the upper surface of the hard disk cage and the top cover respectively have at least one fixing hole, the at least one fixing hole of the upper surface of the hard disk cage coinciding with the at least one fixing hole of the top cover, and the server chassis further comprises at least one locking element for respectively penetrating the at least one fixing hole of the upper surface of the hard disk cage and the at least one fixing hole of the top cover to lock the upper surface of the hard disk cage and the top cover. 
   
   
       8 . The server chassis according to  claim 7 , wherein the at least one fixing hole of the upper surface of the hard disk cage locates at one of the first embedded portions. 
   
   
       9 . The server chassis according to  claim 2 , wherein the top cover has a third surface opposite to the second surface, and a reinforcing sheet is disposed on third surface and adjacent to the second side,
 wherein the reinforcing sheet comprises a board and a plurality of connection portions connected between the board and the second side respectively.   
   
   
       10 . The server chassis according to  claim 9 , wherein the reinforcing sheet is formed by processing a remaining material of the second embedded portions so as to fold on the third surface. 
   
   
       11 . The server chassis according to  claim 1 , wherein the upper surface of the hard disk cage and the hard disk cage is an integral whole.
