Benefits of technology

[0011] In the view of prior art drawbacks, a primary objective of the present invention is to provide a simple structured slide bearing supporting frame for used in different models of server racks.
[0017] The slide bearing supporting frame proposed by the present invention has a locking part penetrating through the locking holes of a rack and through a fixer, the slide bearing supporting frame can be fixed on the locking holes of a rack of different models via its locking part. Accordingly, the overall structure is simplified and the numbers of elements used are reduced compared to the prior art, and moreover through the locking part on the slide bearing supporting frame, tools are not required to assembly the slide bearing supporting frame thereby reducing the time for assembly, as well as production cost. As a result the slide bearing supporting frame provided by the present invention has a higher commercial value compared to the prior art.

Problems solved by technology

In order to keep up competitiveness in the electronic market, the design, fabricating, and assembly of the electronic device must be advanced unceasingly.
However, this convention technique for locking the server on the rack via square holes, the slide bearing supporting frame 20 must be mounted on the outer surface of the longitudinal post 30 of the rack and can only used in the rack having square holes and screw holes, therefore not applicable to racks of different models.
Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, this type of locking method in the prior art requires square-like screw nut 40 to cap on the square hole, which not only increases cost, but also is time consuming to use tools to assemble and dissemble, and in addition this type of locking technique also restrict the use of types of longitudinal post 30 and slide bearing supporting frame 20.
However this type of design requires providing additionally a base to support the longitudinal post 30 of the rack thereby is only applicable when the slide bearing supporting frame is mounted on the outside surface of the longitudinal post 30, but not applicable for inside installation.
However, many components are involved in the foregoing patents and each component is structurally complex which is difficult to fabricate and the fabricating cost is respectively higher.
Moreover, since this conventional technology requires a large number of components, assembly requires the use tools which is time and energy consuming, not only negatively affecting the efficiency in assembly, but also increase the cost in assembly, making it less than ideal in commercial use.

first preferred embodiment

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a slide bearing supporting frame of a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. As shown in FIG. 4 the slide bearing supporting frame 1 comprises a main body 11 and a locking part 13. Referring to FIG. 5, a 5, a schematic diagram of a rack (shown as a longitudinal post 30 herein) having locking holes 301 used in supporting the slide bearing 10 is shown. The rack can be a server rack but is not limited to this type. It should be noted that both structure and principals of operation for the slide bearing, rack or server are well know in the art, therefore detailed descriptions of these are not given herein. Moreover, although the locking holes 201 are shown as circular holes in the diagram of the present embodiment, they can be other shaped openings such as squared holes.

[0027] Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, a locking part 13 is mounted on one side of the slide bearing supporting frame 1 provided by the invention. The locking part 1...

second preferred embodiment

[0033]FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram showing a slide bearing supporting frame being mounted on the outside surface of the rack in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the invention, wherein same or similar elements to the first embodiment are numbered using the same or similar numbers and will not be described in detail, so as to give descriptions with more clarity.

[0034] The major difference of the second embodiment than the first embodiment is that whereas in the first embodiment the slide bearing supporting frame adopts the design of using locking part 13 and the locking plate 17, the slide bearing supporting frame 1 in the second embodiment neglects the design of the locking plate 17.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, in this embodiment, the locking part 13 is disposed on the other side of the longitudinal post 30 and the locking hole 301 is a circular hole, such that when the slide bearing supporting frame 1 supporting the slide bearing 10 is mounted on the rack having loc...

Abstract

A slide bearing supporting frame for supporting and mounting a slide bearing to a rack having locking holes, includes at least one locking part penetrating at least one of the locking holes and for being locked to the at least one of the locking holes of the rack via a fixer, for allowing the slide bearing frame to be fixed on a rack with locking holes of different sizes.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to slide bearing locking techniques, and more particularly to a slide bearing supporting frame with a rack having locking holes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] The usage of electronic devices has been widely diffused to different age groups. In order to keep up competitiveness in the electronic market, the design, fabricating, and assembly of the electronic device must be advanced unceasingly. Thus, any improvement in any area of the electronic device which simplify the structure, increase the convenience of assembly or reduce fabricating cost all have high commercial values which are in accord with the spirit of patent low to promote, protect and utilize invention. Based on this, the inventor is devoted to the development of an improved locking technique of slide bearing. [0003] In regards to servers, in many enterprises prefer individual servers are integrated to decrease cost and complicated management of individual ...
