Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a supporting device, in particular to a supporting device which can be used for a frame. Background Art

[0002] For example, U.S. Patent Publication No. US 8,727,138 B2 discloses a slide rail that can be installed to a rack or removed from the rack without tools, and the slide rail can be used to support a load (such as a chassis of an electronic device). The two ends of each slide rail can be installed to the front and rear upright rack rails (columns) of the rack through their own lock assemblies. When the two pins of the lock assembly are longitudinally inserted into the holes of the upright rack rails, and a first locking arm and a second locking arm of the lock assembly are respectively in a locking position by the elastic force of the elastic member to lock the upright rack rail (such as the patent case). Figure 7 A), the slide rail can be installed and locked to the rack; or the user can manually operate a release handle to drive the first locking arm and the second locking arm to move from the locked position to an unlocked position (as shown in the patent case Figure 7 B), so that the two pins can be withdrawn from the holes of the upright rack rail to allow the slide rail to be removed from the rack.

[0003] For example, US Patent Publication No. US 8,770,528 B2 discloses a support frame assembly that can be mounted to a front column and a rear column of a rack through a front bracket and a rear bracket. The front bracket and the rear bracket have substantially the same structural configuration, for example, the front bracket includes a plurality of connecting members and a fastener, the connecting member can be longitudinally inserted into the hole of the column, and the fastener can lock the column through the elastic force of an elastic foot, so that the support frame assembly is installed on the rack.

[0004] As can be seen from the above, the above two patent cases respectively disclose that the locking arm or the fastener can be in the locking position to lock the frame by elastic force. This also means that if the locking arm or the fastener is to no longer lock the frame, the elastic force must be overcome to move the locking arm or the fastener from the locking position to an unlocking position so that the slide rail or the support frame assembly can be removed from the frame. In particular, if the elastic force of the front and rear brackets needs to be manually released, it is even more inconvenient for the user.

[0005] With the difference in market demands and rack types, how to develop a different product has become a topic worth discussing. Summary of the invention

[0040] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a carrier 20 of an embodiment of the present invention can be mounted to a frame through a pair of supporting devices 22, and the carrier 20 has a front portion 20a and a rear portion 20b. Further, the frame has a left side and a right side with substantially the same structural configuration. For example, the left side of the frame includes at least one column, and a first column 24 (such as a front side column) and a second column 26 (such as a rear side column) are used as examples, but the implementation is not limited. The first column 24 and the second column 26 have substantially the same structural configuration. For example, the first column 24 and the second column 26 both include a plurality of mounting holes 28 arranged at intervals along the height direction of the first column 24 and the second column 26. On the other hand, the pair of supporting devices 22 have substantially the same structural configuration. Each supporting device 22 includes a longitudinal portion 30, at least one first mounting portion 32 and an elastic member 34. Preferably, the supporting device 22 further includes a supporting portion 36 bent relative to the longitudinal portion 30 . The supporting portion 36 is substantially vertically connected to the longitudinal portion 30 , and the supporting portion 36 is used to support the bottom of the supported object 20 .

[0041] It is worth mentioning that Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the coordinates shown, the X-axis direction is the longitudinal direction, the Y-axis direction is the transverse direction (or lateral direction), and the Z-axis direction is the vertical direction (or the height direction of the first column 24 and the second column 26). The X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis are perpendicular to each other.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 2 , the mounting holes 28 of the first column 24 and the second column 26 have substantially the same structural configuration. Further, each mounting hole 28 is defined by the contour of the hole wall. For example, the mounting hole 28 is defined by a lower hole wall W1, an upper hole wall W2, a front hole wall W3, and a rear hole wall W4 (e.g., Figure 3 ), but is not limited in implementation.

[0043] The at least one first mounting portion 32 of the supporting device 22 and the elastic member 34 are both disposed on the longitudinal portion 30. In this embodiment, the at least one first mounting portion 32 is taken as a plurality, but the implementation is not limited thereto; the elastic member 34 is provided with a second mounting portion 35, and the second mounting portion 35 is, for example, a protrusion, but the implementation is not limited thereto.

[0044] Preferably, the longitudinal portion 30 of the support device 22 has a first side S1 and a second side S2 opposite to each other. The first mounting portion 32 includes a first extension segment K1 and a second extension segment K2. The first extension segment K1 is connected to the longitudinal portion 30, and the first extension segment K1 extends transversely (or laterally) beyond the second side S2; the second extension segment K2 is bent relative to the first extension segment K1. Here, it is taken as an example that the second extension segment K2 is substantially vertically connected to the first extension segment K1. The first extension segment K1 and the second extension segment K2 together constitute a hook that can be hung on a hole wall of a mounting hole 28 of one of the multiple mounting holes of the first column 24, for example, hung on the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24, so that the first mounting portion 32 can be installed to the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0045] Preferably, the longitudinal portion 30 of the supporting device 22 has a first end 30a and a second end 30b (for example, a front end and a rear end, but not limited thereto), the first mounting portion 32 is adjacent to the first end 30a of the longitudinal portion 30, and the longitudinal portion 30 is further provided with at least one auxiliary mounting portion 38 adjacent to the second end 30b of the longitudinal portion 30. In this embodiment, the number of the auxiliary mounting portions 38 and the first mounting portions 32 is the same, the auxiliary mounting portions 38 and the first mounting portions 32 have substantially the same structural configuration, and the manner in which the auxiliary mounting portion 38 is mounted to the second column 26 is substantially the same as the manner in which the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the first column 24. Further, the auxiliary mounting portion 38 can be hung on a hole wall of a mounting hole 28 of one of the multiple mounting holes of the second column 26 of the rack, for example, hung on a lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the second column 26, so that the auxiliary mounting portion 38 can be mounted to the first predetermined position L1 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0046] On the other hand, the elastic member 34 includes a connecting portion 40, a guiding portion 42 and an elastic portion 44 disposed between the connecting portion 40 and the guiding portion 42. The connecting portion 40 is connected (for example, fixedly connected) to a predetermined position 43 of the first side S1 of the longitudinal portion 30; the elastic portion 44 is tilted at a predetermined angle (such as 1 / 4) relative to the first side S1 of the longitudinal portion 30. Figure 5 The guide portion 42 is bent relative to the elastic portion 44 toward the first side S1 of the longitudinal portion 30 (as shown); Figure 5 As shown), the guide portion 42 includes an inclined surface or an arc surface, but the implementation is not limited thereto.

[0047] Preferably, the longitudinal portion 30 includes a through hole 46 connecting the first side S1 and the second side S2, the second mounting portion 35 is disposed on the elastic portion 44 of the elastic member 34, and the second mounting portion 35 can pass through the through hole 46 from the first side S1 to the second side S2. The position of the second mounting portion 35 corresponds to one of the mounting holes 28 (such as Figure 4 shown).

[0048] Preferably, when the first mounting portion 32 is hung to the hole wall (e.g., the lower hole wall W1) of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24, the first extension section K1 of the first mounting portion 32 is supported by the hole wall (e.g., the lower hole wall W1), and a lateral distance is provided between the second extension section K2 of the first mounting portion 32 and the first column 24, and the lateral distance is used to allow the support device 22 to be displaced laterally relative to the frame (e.g., Figure 4 shown).

[0049] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support device 22 is mounted (or hung) on ​​the first column 24 and the second column 26 of the frame through the first mounting portion 32 and the auxiliary mounting portion 38, and the elastic member 34 is in a non-locking state X1 (for example, an unlocked state, such as Figure 6 When the elastic member 34 is in the unlocked state X1, the elastic portion 44 of the elastic member 34 tilts up by the predetermined angle relative to the first side S1 of the longitudinal portion 30 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6 ), and the position of the second mounting portion 35 corresponds to one of the mounting holes 28 of the plurality of mounting holes of the first column 24 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, at this time, the second mounting portion 35 has not yet penetrated into the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24). Further, the support 20 can be mounted to the support device 22 in a predetermined direction D. During this mounting process, the rear portion 20b of the support 20 will contact the guide portion 42 of the elastic member 34 (as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown), this helps a portion of the carrier 20 (such as the side L) to pass over the elastic member 34, and the bottom B of the carrier 20 can be partially supported by the support portion 36 (such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 In addition, Figure 6 and Figure 7 It can be seen that when the elastic member 34 is in the unlocked state X1 (eg Figure 6 As shown), the second mounting portion 35 is away from the first mounting portion 32 (as shown Figure 7 As shown), for example, the second mounting portion 35 and the first mounting portion 32 are staggered with each other in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction).

[0050] like Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, when the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the rack (for example, the first mounting portion 32 is hung to the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown), and when a force F is applied to the elastic member 34 (as shown Figure 8 As shown), the elastic member 34 can be switched from the non-locking state X1 to a locking state X2, so that the second mounting portion 35 is mounted to a second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame (for example, the second mounting portion 35 has penetrated the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 at this time, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 ), to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame (for example, to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 in a height direction H, such as Fig. 9 Preferably, when the second mounting portion 35 is mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame, the mounting gap between the second mounting portion 35 and the upper hole wall W2 of the mounting hole 28 is smaller than the extension length of the second extension section K2 of the first mounting portion 32, so as to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame (as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 The first predetermined position L1 and the second predetermined position L2 are located in the same mounting hole 28. Specifically, the first predetermined position L1 is a mounting position, and the second predetermined position L2 is a locking position.

[0051] Furthermore, the carrier 20 can continue to be pushed in the predetermined direction D to be completely installed on the support device 22. During the installation process, the portion of the carrier 20 (such as the side L) can be used to apply the force F and resist the elastic portion 44 (such as the side L) of the elastic member 34. Figure 8 As shown, at this time, the elastic portion 44 of the elastic member 34 accumulates an elastic force in the direction opposite to the force F), so that the elastic member 34 is converted from the above-mentioned unlocked state X1 to the locked state X2, so that the second mounting portion 35 is installed to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame (for example, the second mounting portion 35 has penetrated into the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 at this time, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 ), to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame (for example, to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 toward the height direction H, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the support device 22 is securely locked to the frame. When the load 20 is further displaced in the predetermined direction D to a fully folded position, the bottom B of the load 20 can be fully supported by the support portion 36 of the support device 22 (this part can be referred to in conjunction with FIG. 1 ). Figure 1 ). In addition, Figure 8 and Fig. 9 It can be seen that when the elastic member 34 is in the locked state X2 (eg Figure 8 As shown), the second mounting portion 35 is close to the first mounting portion 32 (as shown Fig. 9 As shown), for example, the second mounting portion 35 and the first mounting portion 32 are close to or aligned with each other in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction).

[0052] It is worth mentioning that when the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame (for example, the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24), and the elastic member 34 is not applied with the force F (for example, the side L of the load 20 does not abut against the elastic portion 44 of the elastic member 34; or, after the load 20 is removed from the supporting device 22), the elastic portion 44 of the elastic member 34 releases the elastic force and can return from the locked state X2 to the unlocked state. The second mounting portion 35 is in a fixed state X1, so that the second mounting portion 35 cannot be mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the rack, for example, the second mounting portion 35 is separated from the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 of the rack, so as to allow the first mounting portion 32 to be separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the rack in the height direction H, so that the first mounting portion 32 can be separated from the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 of the rack, and the auxiliary mounting portion 38 can also be separated from the mounting hole 28 of the second column 26 of the rack. That is, the supporting device 22 can be easily removed from the rack (the first column 24 and the second column 26).

[0053] like Fig.10A support device 200 according to another embodiment of the present invention is shown. The difference between the support device 200 according to the another embodiment and the support device 22 according to the aforementioned embodiment is essentially that the support device 200 does not include the elastic member 34 according to the aforementioned embodiment (that is, the second mounting portion 204 of the support device 200 is not disposed on the elastic member 34). Specifically, the first mounting portion 202 and the second mounting portion 204 of the support device 200 are both directly disposed on the longitudinal portion 206. The first mounting portion 202 includes a first extension segment K1' and a second extension segment K2'. The first extension segment K1' is connected to the longitudinal portion 206, and the first extension segment K1' extends transversely (or laterally) beyond the second side S2 of the longitudinal portion 206. The second extension segment K2' is bent relative to the first extension segment K1'. Here, it is taken as an example that the second extension segment K2' is substantially vertically connected to the first extension segment K1'. On the other hand, the second mounting portion 204 extends transversely (or laterally) beyond the second side S2 of the longitudinal portion 206. The second mounting portion 204 is, for example, a protrusion. The first extension section K1' of the first mounting portion 202 has a first transverse length T1 relative to the second side S2 of the longitudinal portion 206, and the second mounting portion 204 has a second transverse length T2 relative to the second side S2 of the longitudinal portion 206 that is smaller than the first transverse length T1.

[0054] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the first extension section K1' and the second extension section K2' of the first mounting portion 202 together form a hook that can be hung on a hole wall of one of the multiple mounting holes 28 of the first column 24, for example, hung on the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24, so that the first mounting portion 202 can be installed at the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24.

[0055] When the first mounting portion 202 is hung on the hole wall (e.g., the lower hole wall W1) of one of the plurality of mounting holes of the first column 24, the first extension section K1' of the first mounting portion 202 is supported by the hole wall (e.g., the lower hole wall W1), and a lateral distance T (e.g., 0.0045 mm) is formed between the second extension section K2' of the first mounting portion 202 and the first column 24. Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 1 ), the lateral distance T is used to allow the support device 200 to be displaced laterally relative to the frame. For example, the support device 200 may be in a first position P1 relative to the frame (as shown in FIG. 1 ). Fig.11 as shown) or a second position P2 (as shown Fig.12 shown).

[0056] Furthermore, when the supporting device 200 moves relative to the frame from the first position P1 (eg Fig.11 ) is laterally displaced to the second position P2 (as shown Fig.12As shown), the second mounting portion 204 can be mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the rack, for example, the second mounting portion 204 can be inserted into another mounting hole 28' (as shown) of the first column 24. Fig.12 ), to prevent the first mounting portion 202 from being separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the rack (for example, to prevent the first mounting portion 202 from being separated from the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24 in the height direction H, as shown in FIG. Fig.12 As shown in FIG. 2 ), the support device 200 is locked to the frame. The first predetermined position L1 and the second predetermined position L2 of this embodiment are located in different mounting holes 28. The first predetermined position L1 is the mounting position, and the second predetermined position L2 is the locking position.

[0057] Preferably, when the second mounting portion 204 is mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame, the mounting gap between the second mounting portion 204 and the upper hole wall W2 of the other mounting hole 28' is smaller than the extension length of the second extension section K2' of the first mounting portion 202, so as to prevent the first mounting portion 202 from being separated from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame (such as Fig.12 shown).

[0058] Preferably, when the first mounting portion 202 is mounted to the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the rack (for example, the first mounting portion 202 is hung to the lower hole wall W1 of the mounting hole 28 of the first column 24), and the second mounting portion 204 is not mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the rack (for example, the second mounting portion 204 has not yet penetrated into the other mounting hole 28' of the first column 24, such as Fig.11 ), to allow the first mounting portion 202 to be disengaged from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the rack.

[0059] Preferably, the support portion 208 of the support device 200 is used to support the load 20, and the load 20 can drive the support device 200 to move horizontally from the first position P1 to the second position P2 relative to the frame. For example, when the load 20 is installed on the support device 200 in the predetermined direction D, a portion of the load 20 (such as the side L) can push against the support device 200, so that the support device 200 moves horizontally from the first position P1 (such as the side L) relative to the frame. Fig.11 ) is laterally displaced to the second position P2 (as shown Fig.12 shown).

[0060] Preferably, one of the longitudinal portion 206 and the support 20 may be provided with a guiding feature 207, such as an inclined surface or a curved surface (eg, Fig.10 and Fig.11As shown in FIG. 1 , here, taking the first end 206a adjacent to the longitudinal portion 206 as an example, the guide feature 207 is provided. Thus, when the support 20 is installed on the support device 200 in the predetermined direction D, the support 20 can be pushed against the support device 200 from the first position P1 (as shown in FIG. 1 ) by the guide feature 207.

[0062] According to the above description, it can be seen that the improved effects and advantages of the present invention are:

[0063] a. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the first predetermined position L1 of the frame and the elastic member 34 is applied with a force F, the elastic member 34 can be converted from the unlocked state X1 to the locked state X2, so that the second mounting portion 35 is mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the frame, so as to prevent the first mounting portion 32 from being separated from the first predetermined position of the frame, thereby enabling the support device 22 to lock the frame. When the first mounting portion 32 is mounted to the first predetermined position L1 of the frame and the force F is not applied to the elastic member 34, the elastic member 34 returns from the locked state X2 to the unlocked state X1 by the elastic force, so that the second mounting portion 35 cannot be mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the frame, so as to allow the first mounting portion 32 to be disengaged from the first predetermined position L1 of the frame, thereby making the support device 22 unlocked from the frame. Such an application is that when the load 20 is not pressed against the elastic member 34 or removed from the support device 22, the elastic member 34 is not applied with the force F, so that the elastic member 34 can be returned from the locked state X2 to the unlocked state X1 by the elastic force, so that the second mounting portion 35 cannot be mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the frame, so as to allow the first mounting portion 32 to be disengaged from the first predetermined position L1 of the frame, thereby making the support device 22 unlocked from the frame, so that the user can easily remove the support device 22 from the frame.

[0064] b. In another embodiment of the present invention, when the support device 200 is installed (hung) to the hole wall (e.g., the lower hole wall W1) of one of the plurality of mounting holes of the first column 24 through the first mounting portion 202 and is in the first predetermined position L1, the support device 200 can be displaced laterally relative to the frame, wherein when the support device 200 is in the first position P1, the second mounting portion 204 of the support device 200 cannot be installed to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame, so as to allow the first mounting portion 202 to be displaced from the first predetermined position L2. The first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame is disengaged, thereby the support device 200 is not locked to the frame, so that the user can easily remove the support device 200 from the frame; when the support device 200 is laterally displaced from the first position P1 to the second position P2 relative to the frame, the second mounting portion 204 can be mounted to the second predetermined position L2 of the first column 24 of the frame to prevent the first mounting portion 202 from being disengaged from the first predetermined position L1 of the first column 24 of the frame, thereby locking the support device 200 to the frame.

[0065] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the current specific embodiments, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, and various equivalent changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, any changes and modifications to the above embodiments within the spirit of the present invention will fall within the scope of the claims of this application.
