Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0037] A computer server, also known as a server, is a device that provides computing services. Because servers need to respond to and process service requests, they generally need to have the ability to undertake and guarantee services. The components of a server include processors, hard drives, memory, system buses, etc., similar to the general computer architecture. However, due to the need to provide highly reliable services, the requirements for processing power, stability, reliability, security, scalability, and manageability are higher. Therefore, people's demand for computer servers is increasing, which in turn leads to higher requirements for computer server mounting racks.

[0038] Currently, computer server mounting racks are usually fixed as a single frame. On the one hand, this makes it difficult to adjust the server mounting rack during the installation process, which is inconvenient. On the other hand, fixed server mounting racks can only install servers of a limited size, which has certain limitations.

[0039] Meanwhile, computer servers are often messy during installation, and existing computer server racks cannot effectively organize and manage the computer wiring.

[0040] Based on this, this embodiment of the invention provides a server installation device. A first driving device drives a threaded rod 9 to rotate, causing the mounting plate 5 on the lifting plate 8 to move up and down. This allows for flexible adjustment of the height of the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5 according to the size of the server, ensuring the installation space within the cabinet 7 is compatible with the server. This allows the server installation device to install servers of different sizes. Simultaneously, the installation space within the cabinet 7 can be adjusted to be significantly larger than the server's size. Pushing / pulling the mounting plate 5 along the crossbar 20 allows the area on the mounting plate 5 where the server is installed to extend beyond the cabinet 7, facilitating the installation, disassembly, or maintenance of the server by personnel. Furthermore, by using the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 in conjunction with the disc groove 13 and the square groove 23, when it is necessary to organize the cable, the winding post 1 can be lifted so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is completely placed in the disc groove 13, thereby rotating the winding post 1 to wind the cable. After the cable is organized, the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is placed in the square groove 23, and the winding post 1 is fixed, which facilitates the organization and fixation of the cable, and there is no need to use other equipment to organize and fix the cable.

[0041] Please refer to the above as well. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a front cross-sectional view of a server installation device provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a side cross-sectional view of the structure between a mounting plate and a lifting plate provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The server mounting device in this embodiment includes a cabinet 7, a first drive device, a threaded rod 9, at least one lifting plate 8, a mounting plate 5, and several fixing plates 15. The mounting plate 5 is used to mount the server; wherein...

[0042] One end of the threaded rod 9 is rotatably connected to the top or bottom of the cabinet 7. The lifting plate 8 is provided with a threaded hole and is sleeved on the threaded rod 9 through the threaded hole. The other end of the threaded rod 9 is connected to the output end of the first driving device. The first driving device is used to drive the threaded rod 9 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting plate 8 to move up and down along the threaded rod 9.

[0043] The fixed plates 15 are spaced apart on the lifting plate 8, and a crossbar 20 is connected between the two fixed plates 15. The bottom of the mounting plate 5 is provided with a sliding block 21, which is sleeved on the crossbar 20, and the mounting plate 5 can reciprocate along the crossbar 20 through the sliding block 21.

[0044] The server installation device, also known as a server mounting rack, server mounting cabinet, or server rack, is used to house and install servers. Other auxiliary components, such as power modules, fan modules, management modules, and network modules, can also be installed within the server installation device. The specific configuration can be tailored to the actual situation, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose any limitations on this.

[0045] The lifting plate 8 can be one, two, or more, depending on actual needs. For example, when there is one lifting plate 8, a threaded rod 9 is installed inside the cabinet 7. One end of the threaded rod 9 can be connected to the top or bottom inside the cabinet 7. When there are two lifting plates 8, two threaded rods 9 are installed inside the cabinet 7, and the two lifting plates 8 correspond one-to-one with the two threaded rods 9. One end of one threaded rod 9 is connected to the top inside the cabinet 7, and the other threaded rod 9 is connected to the bottom inside the cabinet 7. The two lifting plates 8 are respectively fitted onto these two threaded rods.

[0046] The fixing plates 15 can be in multiple pairs. Two fixing plates 15 in each pair are spaced apart on the lifting plate 8, and a crossbar 20 connects the two fixing plates 15. The sliding block 21 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5 is provided with a sliding hole. The mounting plate 5 is fitted onto the crossbar 20 through the sliding hole, and the mounting plate 5 can move back and forth along the crossbar 20 through the sliding block 21. When the sliding block 21 is located at one end of the crossbar 20, the mounting plate 5 is located inside the cabinet 7. When the sliding block 21 is located at the other end of the crossbar, the server mounting area on the mounting plate 5 extends outside the cabinet 7.

[0047] The number of crossbars can be one or more, depending on actual needs. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the number of crossbars.

[0048] The first driving device can be a human-powered device such as a crank, or an electric-powered device such as a motor. The specific device can be set according to actual needs. In this embodiment of the invention, the first driving device is not limited.

[0049] Specifically, the lifting plate 8 is fitted onto the threaded rod 9 through a threaded hole. When the first driving device drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, the lifting plate 8 moves up and down along the threaded rod 9 through the cooperation of the threaded hole and the threaded rod 9. This causes the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5 on the lifting plate 8 to move up and down, adjusting the installation space of the server in the server mounting device. For example, before installing the server, the lifting plate 8 can be moved up and down according to the size of the server, so that the installation space of the server in the cabinet 7 is adapted to the server, thereby enabling the server mounting device to install servers of different sizes. In addition, the installation space of the server in the cabinet 7 can be adjusted to be much larger than the size of the server, with more spare space to facilitate the installation, disassembly, or maintenance of the server by the staff.

[0050] Additionally, fixed plates 15 are spaced apart on the lifting plate 8, and crossbars 20 connect the fixed plates 15. The mounting plate 5 is fitted onto the crossbar 20 via sliding blocks 21, and the mounting plate 5 can reciprocate along the crossbar 20 via the sliding blocks 21. For example, when it is necessary to install, disassemble, or maintain the server, the operator can pull the mounting plate 5, allowing it to slide laterally along the crossbar 20, thereby extending the area on the mounting plate 5 where the server is installed out of the cabinet 7. This allows the operator to install, disassemble, or maintain the server outside the cabinet 7, and after the process is completed, the mounting plate can be pushed back into the cabinet 7.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the height and lateral position of the mounting plate 5 in the server mounting device can be flexibly adjusted. On the one hand, this allows the server mounting space within the cabinet 7 to accommodate servers of different sizes; on the other hand, it facilitates the installation, disassembly, or maintenance of the servers by staff. Specifically, the first driving device drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate, causing the mounting plate 5 on the lifting plate 8 to move up and down. This allows the height of the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5 to be flexibly adjusted according to the size of the server, ensuring that the server mounting space within the cabinet 7 is compatible with the server and enabling the server mounting device to accommodate servers of different sizes. Simultaneously, the server mounting space within the cabinet 7 can be adjusted to be significantly larger than the server's size. Pushing / pulling the mounting plate 5 laterally along the crossbar 20 allows the area on the mounting plate 5 where the server is mounted to extend beyond the cabinet 7, further facilitating the installation, disassembly, or maintenance of the servers by staff.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, modified embodiments of the above embodiments are proposed. It should be noted that, in order to keep the description brief, only the differences from the above embodiments are described in the modified embodiments.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 This illustrates the embodiments provided by the present invention. Figure 1 A partially enlarged structural diagram of component A. The other end of the threaded rod 9 is provided with a first helical gear 11. The first driving device is a rocking crank, which includes a rocker arm 10, a rotating rod 25, and a connecting rod 24. The two ends of the connecting rod 24 are respectively connected to one end of the rocker arm 10 and one end of the rotating rod 25. The rocker arm 10 and the rotating rod 25 are parallel, and the connecting rod 24 is perpendicular to both the rocker arm 10 and the rotating rod 25. The other end of the rotating rod passes through the side wall of the cabinet 7 and is placed inside the cabinet 7. The other end of the rotating rod is provided with a second helical gear 12 that meshes with the first helical gear 11.

[0054] Specifically, the first driving device can be a rocking crank, which includes a rocker arm 10, a rotating rod 25, and a connecting rod 24. One end of the rocker arm 10 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 24, and the other end of the connecting rod 24 is connected to one end of the rotating rod. The rocker arm 10 and the rotating rod 25 are parallel, and the connecting rod 24 is perpendicular to the rocker arm 10 and the rotating rod 25. One end of the rocker arm 10, the connecting rod 24, and the rotating rod is located outside the cabinet 7, and the other end of the rotating rod passes through the side wall of the cabinet 7 and is placed inside the cabinet 7. When the operator holds the rocker arm 10 and turns the rocking crank, the rotating rod 25 can be driven to rotate by the connecting rod 24.

[0055] At the other end of the rotating rod is a second helical gear 12, which meshes with the first helical gear 11 on the threaded rod 9. When the operator holds the rocker arm 10 and turns the crank, the rotating rod 25 rotates, and the second helical gear 12 on the rotating rod also rotates. This, in turn, drives the threaded rod 9 to rotate through the first helical gear 11, thereby adjusting the height of the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5. This allows the installation space of the server inside the cabinet 7 to be adapted to the server, enabling the server mounting device to install servers of different sizes. In addition, the installation space of the server in the cabinet 7 can be adjusted to be much larger than the size of the server, providing more space for operators to install, disassemble, or maintain the server.

[0056] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, both the first helical gear 11 and the second helical gear 12 can be made of wear-resistant steel to give the first helical gear 11 and the second helical gear 12 stronger reliability and longer service life. Of course, the first helical gear 11 and the second helical gear 12 can also be made of other wear-resistant materials, such as non-metallic wear-resistant materials. The specific choice can be made according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present invention do not limit this.

[0057] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first driving device may be a crank or a first motor. The output end of the first motor is connected to the other end of the threaded rod 9. The threaded rod 9 can be rotated by the first motor to adjust the height of the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5, thereby freeing up manpower and facilitating the installation, disassembly or maintenance of the server by the staff.

[0058] Refer again Figure 1 The server mounting device also includes a vertical rod 3, with its two ends connected to the top and bottom of the cabinet 7 respectively. The lifting plate 8 is provided with sliding holes that match the vertical rod 3. The lifting plate 8 is fitted onto the vertical rod 3 through the sliding holes, and the lifting plate 8 can move up and down along the vertical rod 3.

[0059] The vertical rod 3 can be one or more, depending on actual needs. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the number of vertical rods 3. The vertical rod 3 is parallel to the threaded rod 9 and is used to limit the movement of the lifting plate 8, ensuring that the lifting plate 8 can only move up and down along the vertical rod 3, and cannot move horizontally.

[0060] Specifically, a vertical rod 3 is connected between the top and bottom of the cabinet 7. The vertical rod 3 is parallel to the threaded rod 9. The lifting plate 8 is provided with a sliding hole that matches the vertical rod 3. The lifting plate 8 is fitted onto the vertical rod 3 through the sliding hole, thereby limiting the lateral position of the lifting plate 8 through the vertical rod 3, allowing the lifting plate 8 to move only up and down along the vertical rod 3. For example, when the threaded rod 9 rotates, the lifting plate 8 will move up and down along the vertical rod 3 through the cooperation of the threaded hole and the threaded rod 9, thereby driving the lifting plate 8 and the mounting plate 5 on the lifting plate 8 to move up and down, adjusting the installation space of the server in the server installation device.

[0061] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This diagram shows a front cross-sectional view of a mounting plate and a lifting plate provided in an embodiment of the present invention. The server mounting device further includes a second driving device, which includes a second motor 18 and a gear 17. A toothed plate 16 is provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 5. The second motor 18 is mounted on the lifting plate 8, and the output end of the second motor 18 is connected to the gear 17. The gear 17 meshes with a gear on the toothed plate 16. The second motor 18 drives the gear 17 to rotate, thereby driving the mounting plate 5 to reciprocate along the crossbar 20 via the toothed plate 16.

[0062] Specifically, the toothed plate 16 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 5, and the second motor 18 is mounted on the lifting plate 8. The output end of the second motor 18 is connected to the gear 17, which meshes with the toothed plate 16 at the bottom of the mounting plate 5. When the second motor 18 drives the gear 17 to rotate, the gear 17 will drive the toothed plate 16 and the mounting plate 5 to move along the crossbar 20, thereby moving the area on the mounting plate 5 where the server is installed from inside the cabinet 7 to outside the cabinet 7, which makes it easier for staff to install, disassemble, or maintain the server outside the cabinet 7.

[0063] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the lifting plate 8 is further provided with a groove 4, and the fixing plate 15 and the second motor 18 are disposed at the bottom of the groove 4. Specifically, the fixing plate 15, the crossbar 20 and the second motor 18 are placed in the groove 4 of the lifting plate 8, which makes the server installation device structure compact, increases the server installation space, and makes full use of the cabinet 7 space of the server installation device.

[0064] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a support plate 19 may be added between the second motor 18 and the bottom of the groove 4. The second motor 18 is installed through the support plate 19. For example, the second motor 18 and the support plate 19 are provided with screw holes. The second motor 18 is installed at the bottom of the groove 4 by bolts and screw holes.

[0065] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the first motor and the second motor 18 may be servo motors to facilitate the reciprocating movement of the mounting plate 5 along the vertical rod 3 or the horizontal reciprocating movement along the horizontal rod 20. Furthermore, the surfaces of the first motor and the second motor 18 are coated with an anti-oxidation coating to prevent oxidation of their outer surfaces.

[0066] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a winding post 1 provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The server mounting device further includes the winding post 1, the top of which is provided with a wire-holding groove 14; the top of the mounting plate 5 is provided with a receiving cavity, which is used to receive the bottom of the winding post 1 so as to mount the winding post 1 on the mounting plate 5.

[0067] The winding post 1 on the mounting plate 5 can be installed in one or more, and the specific number can be set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment of the invention, the number of winding posts 1 is not limited.

[0068] Specifically, the top of the winding post 1 is provided with a cable clamping groove 14, and the top of the mounting plate 5 is provided with a receiving cavity. The receiving cavity is used to accommodate the bottom of the winding post 1, thereby enabling the winding post 1 to be installed on the mounting plate 5. For example, the winding post 1 can be installed at the edge of the mounting plate. After the server is installed on the mounting plate 5, the cable can be put into the cable clamping groove 14, and the excess cable can be wound around the winding post 1. This can achieve the sorting and organization of the server cables, making the cables in the server installation device neat and orderly.

[0069] It should be noted that the winding post 1 can be installed at any position on the mounting plate 5, and the specific location can be limited according to actual needs. In this embodiment of the invention, there is no such limitation. For example, the winding post 1 can be installed at the edge of the mounting plate 5.

[0070] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 The embodiments of the present invention are shown. Figure 4 A magnified schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of B. Figure 7This diagram illustrates the structure of a square slot 23 and a circular slot 13 in a server mounting device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The receiving cavity contains a square slot 23 and a circular slot 13 located above the square slot 23. The diameter of the circular slot 13 is greater than the diagonal length of the square slot 23. A square plate 22 is provided at the bottom of the winding post 1. The square plate 22 of the winding post 1 passes through the top of the mounting plate 5 and is placed within the circular slot 13 and / or the square slot 23. When the square plate 22 is completely placed within the circular slot 13, the winding post 1 can rotate freely; when the square plate 22 is at least partially placed within the square slot 23, the winding post 1 cannot rotate freely.

[0071] The square groove 23 is connected to the disc groove 13. The diagonal of the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is slightly smaller than the diagonal of the square groove 23. However, when the square plate 22 of the winding post 1 is at least partially placed in the square groove 23, the square groove 23 will hinder the rotation of the square plate 22, thereby hindering the free rotation of the winding post 1. The diameter of the disc groove 13 is greater than the diagonal of the square plate 22. Therefore, when the square plate 22 of the winding post 1 is completely placed in the disc groove 13, the winding post 1 and the square plate 22 can rotate freely.

[0072] Specifically, the bottom of the winding post 1 is provided with a square plate 22. The square plate 22 of the winding post 1 passes through the top of the mounting plate 5 and is placed in the disc groove 13 and / or the square groove 23. After the server is installed on the mounting plate 5, one of the server's cables can be placed into the cable clamping groove 14 on the winding post 1. Then, the winding post 1 is lifted upward so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is completely placed in the disc groove 13. At this time, the winding post 1 can be rotated to wind the excess cable onto the winding post 1. Then, the winding post 1 is pressed downward so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is placed in the square groove 23, preventing the winding post 1 from rotating and fixing the wound cable. This achieves cable sorting and organization, making the cables in the server installation device neat and orderly.

[0073] It should be noted that the bottom of the winding post 1 can be set as a square plate 22, or it can be set as a plate of other shapes. The specific shape can be set according to the actual situation. In this embodiment of the invention, the shape of the bottom of the winding post 1 is not limited. For example, the bottom of the winding post 1 can be set as a triangular plate, a rectangular plate, a polygonal plate, etc. The square groove 23 on the mounting plate 5 can also be changed according to the shape of the bottom of the winding post, and set as a triangular groove, a rectangular groove, a polygonal groove, etc.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the square plate 22 of the winding post 1 is used in conjunction with the disc groove 13 and the square groove 23, so that when it is necessary to organize the cable, the winding post 1 is lifted, and the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is completely placed in the disc groove 13, thereby rotating the winding post 1 to wind the cable. After the cable is organized, the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is placed in the square groove 23, and the winding post 1 is fixed, which facilitates the organization and fixation of the cable, and there is no need to use other equipment to organize and fix the cable.

[0075] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, a lever 2 is provided on both sides of the top of the winding post 1. The lever 2 on the top of the winding post 1 is used to facilitate the worker to lift and rotate the winding post 1 when it is necessary to organize the cable, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0076] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the cabinet 7 is provided with a plurality of casters 6, which can be brake casters 6. The plurality of casters 6 can make it more convenient to install the mobile server and improve the ease of movement.

[0077] To better understand the embodiments of the present invention, the working principle of the server installation device is explained below through an example:

[0078] The second motor 18 is started, which drives the gear 17 to rotate.

When installing the computer server, the second motor 18 is started first to drive the mounting plate 5 to extend out of the cabinet 7 along the crossbar 20, so that the computer server can be placed on the upper side of the mounting plate 5. Then, according to the height of the computer server, the lifting plate 8 can be moved up and down by the first drive device until the computer server is at a suitable height to be placed in the cabinet 7.

[0079] When it is necessary to organize the cables of a computer server, one cable of the computer server can be placed into the cable slot 14 on the winding post 1. Then, the winding post 1 is lifted upward so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 reaches the disc slot 13. At this time, the winding post 1 can be rotated to wind the excess cable around the winding post 1. Then, the winding post 1 is pressed downward so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is placed into the square slot 23, so that the winding post 1 is fixed in place. Similarly, the remaining cables can be organized using the winding post 1 to achieve the purpose of organizing the cables.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the lifting plate 8 can be moved up and down according to the height of the computer server until the computer server is at a suitable height to be placed in the cabinet 7. When it is necessary to organize the cables of the computer server, one cable of the computer server can be placed into the cable slot 14 on the winding post 1, and then the winding post 1 is lifted up so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 reaches the disc slot 13. At this time, the winding post 1 can be rotated to wind the excess cable around the winding post 1. Then the winding post 1 is pressed down so that the square plate 22 at the bottom of the winding post 1 is placed into the square slot 23, so that the winding post 1 is fixed. Similarly, the remaining cables can be organized using the winding post 1 to achieve the sorting and organization of the lines. The device is reasonably designed and ingeniously conceived. It can not only adjust the height according to the size of the computer server, but also effectively sort and organize the computer lines.
