A cable management rack and a rack to which it is applied

Abstract

The present invention provides a cable management rack and a rack to which it is applied. The cable management rack includes: a left cable management component; a right cable management component; a connection component connected between the left cable management component and the right cable management component and supporting the left cable management component and the right cable management component; and an elastic component. When the chassis in the rack is pulled out of the rack, the elastic component causes the left cable management component and the right cable management component to move and unfold in the pulling direction along with the controller at the rear end of the chassis, and the left cable management component and the right cable management component are reset through the resilience. The present invention manages the cable routing of the left and right controllers in the rack through the left cable management component and the right cable management component respectively. When the left cable management component and the right cable management component move forward and unfold, the connection component and the elastic component assist the movement of the left cable management component and the right cable management component and support the left cable management component and the right cable management component to move in an approximately horizontal space.

[0112] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 9 shown, the left elastic member 141 and the right elastic member 142 are but not limited to springs or elastic belts. Wherein, both ends of the left elastic member 141 and the right elastic member 142 are respectively provided with connection sleeves, so that one end of the left elastic member 141 is sleeved on the left guiding post 1137, the other end is sleeved on the connection assembly 130, one end of the right elastic member 142 is sleeved on the left guiding post 1137, and the other end is sleeved on the connection assembly 130.

[0113] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the connection assembly 130 is connected between the left wire management assembly 110 and the right wire management assembly 120, and supports the left wire management assembly 110 and the right wire management assembly 120.

[0114] Specifically, in this embodiment, as Figure 10 shown, the connection assembly 130 is connected to the lower surfaces of the left wire management assembly 110 and the right wire management assembly 120; there is a certain distance between the left wire management assembly 110 and the right wire management assembly 120.

[0115] Specifically, in this embodiment, the connection assembly 130 includes a cross beam, a left guiding long hole 131 provided at the left part of the cross beam for cooperating with and connecting to the left guiding post 1137 of the left wire management groove 113 and a left connection part 132 (such as a connection post) for connecting to the left elastic member 141, a right guiding long hole 133 provided at the right part of the cross beam for cooperating with and connecting to the right guiding post 1239 of the right wire management groove 123 and a right connection part 134 (such as a connection post) for connecting to the right elastic member 142; when the left wire management groove 113 moves, the left guiding post 1137 of the left wire management groove 113 moves along the left guiding long hole 131; when the right wire management groove 123 moves, the right guiding post 1239 of the right wire management groove 123 moves along the right guiding long hole 133.

[0116] Wherein, one end of the left elastic member 141 is sleeved on the left guiding post 1137, and the other end is sleeved on the left connection part 132 of the cross beam, one end of the right elastic member 142 is sleeved on the left guiding post 1137, and the other end is sleeved on the right connection part 134 of the cross beam.

[0117] The left elastic member 141 and the right elastic member 142 ensure the deployment and reset of the left cable management groove 113 and the right cable management groove 123 during movement. The left elastic member 141 and the right elastic member 142 enable the left groove head 1131 of the left cable management groove 113 to move back and forth in the left guiding long hole 131 (slotted) of the cross beam, and the right groove head 1231 of the right cable management groove 123 to move back and forth in the right guiding long hole 133 (slotted) of the cross beam. The cross beam moves in the front-rear direction of the chassis simultaneously following the left cable management groove 113 and the right cable management groove 123 on both sides.

[0118] Therefore, in this embodiment, when the chassis 210 in the rack 200 is pulled out of the rack 200, the left cable management groove 113 and the right cable management groove 123 move and expand in the pulling direction along with the controller 280 at the rear end of the chassis 210. The connecting plate and the spring assist the movement of the left cable management groove 113 and the right cable management groove 123 and support the left cable management groove 113 and the right cable management groove 123 to move approximately in a horizontal space. Usually, there is a full-width cable management rack in a 1U space, while the cable management rack 100 in this embodiment has two half-width cable management structures on the left and right in a 1U space, and realizes that the two cable management structures on the left and right always move within a 1U space.

[0119] As Figure 2 shown, this embodiment further provides a rack 200, and the rack 200 is applied with the cable management rack 100 as described above. Among them, the rack 200 includes four columns (the first column 240, the second column 250, the third column 260, and the fourth column 270), a tray for carrying the chassis 210 located between the four columns, with towing rails (left towing rail 220 and right towing rail 230) on both sides of the tray. A plurality of controllers 280 are configured at the tail of the chassis 210, and the above-mentioned cable management rack 100 is further configured at the rear end of the rack 200. The cable management rack 100 is connected to the columns of the rack 200 and the rear end of the chassis 210. The above has described the cable management rack 100 in detail, and will not be elaborated here.

[0120] In summary, the present invention manages the wire routing of the left and right two controllers in the rack through the left cable management component and the right cable management component respectively. When the left cable management component and the right cable management component move and expand in the pulling direction along with the controller at the rear end of the chassis, the connecting component and the elastic component assist the movement of the left cable management component and the right cable management component, so that the left cable management component and the right cable management component are reset after moving, and support the left cable management component and the right cable management component to move approximately in a horizontal space. Therefore, the present invention effectively overcomes various shortcomings in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0121] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes made by those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field without departing from the spirit and technical ideas disclosed by the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
