Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a server rack, and more particularly to an adaptive adjustable server rack that facilitates maintenance. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve space utilization, existing server racks will minimize the distance between two servers as much as possible, which will result in a very crowded internal space of the rack and inconvenience for workers to maintain the servers.

[0003] A patent with the patent publication number CN107734913B discloses a server rack for a large data center, including a cabinet and a number of brackets. Slideways are provided on the inner walls on the left and right sides of the brackets, an extension section is provided at the front end of the slideway, and a hook-shaped groove is provided at the extension section. A transverse guide rod is also provided on the cabinet and is located behind the brackets. A pull ring is slidably connected to the transverse guide rod. A lead wire ring is connected to the pull ring, a wire bundling structure is connected to the lead wire ring, and a pull rope is connected to the wire bundling structure. An alarm mechanism composed of a contact head, a moving contact piece, a static contact piece, a mobile power supply and a wireless signal transmitter is also provided on the pull ring and the cabinet. The above patent has the following problems during use:

[0004] 1. Its brackets are fixedly installed inside the cabinet and cannot be adjusted in position according to the different heights and widths of the servers, resulting in poor adaptability;

[0005] 2. Since a large number of lines are generally connected to the back end of the server, the lines of multiple servers placed inside the cabinet are relatively messy. When the worker pulls the server forward, the server will rotate 90 degrees, which will make the lines inside the cabinet even more messy and inconvenient for the worker to maintain. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the disadvantages of the existing server racks, which have poor adaptability and are generally difficult to adjust the position according to the different heights and widths of the servers, and the lines inside the cabinet are relatively messy and inconvenient for workers to maintain, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an adaptive adjustable server rack that facilitates maintenance.

[0007] The present invention is achieved through the following technical means:

[0008] An adaptive and adjustable server rack convenient for maintenance, comprising a movable main frame, a protective door and a heat dissipation component. The protective door is rotatably connected to the front side of the movable main frame, and the heat dissipation component is connected to the inner top of the movable main frame. It also includes a rotating door panel, a movable adjustment frame, a first elastic member, an adjustment plate and a fixing component. Two rotating door panels are rotatably connected to the rear side of the movable main frame. When the rotating door panels are rotated and opened, the rear end of the server can be exposed. Two movable adjustment frames are slidably connected inside the movable main frame. The movable adjustment frames can move left and right to adjust their positions. First elastic members are connected between the movable adjustment frames and the movable main frame. A plurality of adjustment plates for placing the server are slidably connected to the movable adjustment frames at intervals. The adjustment plates can move up and down to adjust their positions. Fixing components for fixing the adjustment plates are provided on the movable adjustment frames.

[0009] Further, the fixing component includes a bidirectional screw rod and fixing threaded sleeves. The bidirectional screw rods are rotatably connected to the adjustment plates. Fixing threaded sleeves for fixing the adjustment plates are threadedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bidirectional screw rods. The fixing threaded sleeves are slidably connected to the adjacent movable adjustment frames.

[0010] Further, the adjustment plates further include synchronous rods. Synchronous rods are slidably connected between two adjustment plates at the same height. The synchronous rods are used to enable the two adjustment plates at the same height to move up and down synchronously.

[0011] Further, the rotating door panels further include magnets. Two magnets are connected to the mutually approaching sides of the rotating door panels. The adjacent two magnets attract each other.

[0012] Further, it also includes fixing blocks, sliding frames, rotating handles, rotating rods, torsion springs and second elastic members. Fixing blocks are connected to the adjustment plates. Sliding frames are slidably connected between two fixing blocks at the same height. Rotating handles are symmetrically rotatably connected to the front sides of the sliding frames left and right. Rotating rods are rotatably connected to the rear sides of the sliding frames. When the rotating rods move backward, they will contact the adjustment plates, so that the rotating rods rotate downward to cooperate with the sliding frames to comb the lines. Torsion springs connect the rotating rods and the sliding frames to elastically reset the rotating rods upward. Second elastic members connect the sliding frames and the fixing blocks to elastically reset the sliding frames backward.

[0013] Further, it also includes movable limit plates and limit blocks. Movable limit plates for pulling the server forward are slidably connected to the adjustment plates. Limit blocks for limiting the server are connected to the adjustment plates.

[0014] Further, it further includes a sliding rod, a connecting rod, a third elastic member, and a limiting assembly. The adjusting plates are all movably connected with sliding rods. The sliding rods are located below the moving limiting plates. A connecting rod for driving the moving limiting plate to move forward is connected between the rear ends of two sliding rods at the same height. The connecting rods are all connected to two adjacent moving limiting plates. A third elastic member is connected between the connecting rod and the adjusting plate. The third elastic member is wound around the outer side of the sliding rod. A limiting assembly for limiting the sliding rod is provided at the bottom of the adjusting plate.

[0015] Further, the limiting assembly includes a limiting rod. Two limiting rods are connected to the rear sides of the bottoms of the adjusting plates. The limiting rods are used for limiting the sliding rod.

[0016] Further, it further includes rollers. A plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to the adjusting plates at intervals.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. The moving adjustment frame of the present invention can move left and right to adjust the position according to the different widths of the servers. At the same time, the adjusting plate can move up and down to adjust the position according to the different heights of the servers, so as to be able to adapt to different servers. Moreover, the rotating door panel can be rotated open to expose the rear end of the server, thus facilitating workers to repair the server.

[0019] 2. When the sliding frame of the present invention moves backward, it can drive the rotating rod to move backward. At the same time, the adjusting plate will squeeze the rotating rod to rotate downward, so that the sliding frame and the rotating rod can straighten the lines, facilitating workers to repair the server.

[0020] 3. The moving limiting plate of the present invention can limit the server. By rotating the sliding rod, the limiting rod can release the sliding rod. Under the elastic force of the third elastic member, the moving limiting plate can drive the server to move forward, facilitating workers to take out and replace the server.

[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] An adaptive and adjustable server rack that is convenient for maintenance, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, it includes a movable main frame 1, a protective door 2 and a heat dissipation component 8. The protective door 2 is rotatably connected to the front side of the movable main frame 1, and the heat dissipation component 8 is connected to the inner top of the movable main frame 1. It also includes a rotating door panel 3, a movable adjustment frame 4, a first elastic member 5, an adjustment plate 6 and a fixing component. Two rotating door panels 3 are rotatably connected to the rear side of the movable main frame 1. When the rotating door panels 3 are rotated and opened, the rear end of the server can be exposed, facilitating workers to repair the server. Two movable adjustment frames 4 are slidably connected inside the movable main frame 1. The movable adjustment frames 4 can move left and right to adjust their positions, so as to adapt to servers of different widths. First elastic members 5 are connected between the movable adjustment frames 4 and the movable main frame 1. A plurality of adjustment plates 6 for placing the server are slidably connected to the movable adjustment frames 4 at intervals. The adjustment plates 6 can move up and down to adjust their positions, so as to adapt to servers of different heights. Fixing components are provided on the movable adjustment frames 4 for fixing the adjustment plates 6.

[0036] Referring to Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the fixing component includes a bidirectional screw rod 71 and fixing threaded sleeves 72. The bidirectional screw rod 71 is rotatably connected to each of the adjustment plates 6. Fixing threaded sleeves 72 are threadedly connected to the front and rear sides of the bidirectional screw rod 71. The fixing threaded sleeves 72 are slidably connected to the adjacent movable adjustment frames 4. When the bidirectional screw rod 71 is rotated and tightened, the position of the adjustment plate 6 can be fixed through the fixing threaded sleeves 72.

[0037] First, open the protective door 2, then rotate the bidirectional screw rod 71 to move the fixing threaded sleeves 72 away from each other to loosen the movable adjustment frames 4. Then, the adjustment plates 6 can be moved up and down to adjust the positions of the adjustment plates 6 according to the height of the server. Then, reverse the rotation of the bidirectional screw rod 71 to move the fixing threaded sleeves 72 closer to each other to clamp the movable adjustment frames 4, so as to fix the positions of the adjustment plates 6. Then, pull the movable adjustment frames 4 away from each other, and the first elastic members 5 are stretched. Then, place the server between two adjustment plates 6 at the same height. In this way, servers of different widths can be placed. Then, close the protective door 2. The heat dissipation component 8 can dissipate heat and protect the server. When it is necessary to repair or connect the lines of the server, the rotating door panels 3 can be rotated and opened away from each other, so that the rear end of the server can be exposed, facilitating workers to repair or connect the lines of the server.

[0038] Embodiment 2

[0039] On the basis of Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the adjustment plates 6 further include a synchronizing rod 61. The synchronizing rod 61 is slidably connected between two adjustment plates 6 at the same height. The synchronizing rod 61 can enable two adjustment plates 6 at the same height to move up and down synchronously, so as to avoid the phenomenon that the adjustment plates 6 are uneven in height.

[0040] The synchronization rod 61 can enable two adjusting plates 6 at the same height to move up and down synchronously, thereby saving the time spent on manually adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 6 and avoiding the phenomenon that the adjusting plate 6 is uneven in height.

[0041] Referring to Figure 2 As shown, the rotating door panel 3 further includes magnets 31. Two magnets 31 are connected to each of the mutually approaching sides of the rotating door panel 3, and the two adjacent magnets 31 attract each other, thereby being able to fix the position of the rotating door panel 3.

[0042] The magnets 31 are used to fix the position of the rotating door panel 3 and prevent the rotating door panel 3 from rotating and opening randomly.

[0043] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it further includes a fixed block 91, a sliding frame 92, a rotating handle 93, a rotating rod 94, a torsion spring 95 and a second elastic member 96. Fixed blocks 91 are welded to the adjusting plates 6. A sliding frame 92 is slidably connected between two fixed blocks 91 at the same height. Rotating handles 93 are symmetrically rotatably connected to the front sides of the sliding frame 92 in the left - right direction. Rotating rods 94 are rotatably connected to the rear sides of the sliding frame 92. When the rotating rod 94 moves backward, it will contact the adjusting plate 6. When the rotating rod 94 rotates downward, it can cooperate with the sliding frame 92 to comb the wires. The torsion spring 95 connects the rotating rod 94 and the sliding frame 92 to elastically reset the rotating rod 94 upward, and the second elastic member 96 connects the sliding frame 92 and the fixed block 91 to elastically reset the sliding frame 92 backward.

[0044] After the server is connected to the wires, the wires of each server will pass through between the sliding frame 92 and the rotating rod 94. When it is necessary to repair the server, hold the rotating handle 93 and push the rotating handle 93 backward, driving the sliding frame 92 and the rotating rod 94 to move backward. The second elastic member 96 is compressed. When the rotating rod 94 contacts the adjusting plate 6, the adjusting plate 6 will squeeze the rotating rod 94 to rotate downward and approach the sliding frame 92, and the torsion spring 95 deforms. The rotating rod 94 and the sliding frame 92 will squeeze the wires. Since the wires are generally cylindrical, the wires stacked together can be relatively staggered at this time. At the same time, as the sliding frame 92 and the rotating rod 94 continue to move backward, the wires can be combed and straightened, facilitating the subsequent repair work of the workers.

[0045] Referring to Figure 7 As shown, it further includes a moving limit plate 101 and a limit block 102. Moving limit plates 101 are slidably connected to the adjusting plates 6. Limit blocks 102 are welded to the adjusting plates 6. The limit blocks 102 can limit the server to prevent the server from moving backward excessively.

[0046] Referring to Figures 8 - 10As shown in the figure, it further includes a sliding rod 103, a connecting rod 104, a third elastic member 105 and a limiting component. The adjusting plate 6 is movably connected with a sliding rod 103. The sliding rod 103 is located below the moving limiting plate 101. A connecting rod 104 is welded between the rear ends of two sliding rods 103 at the same height. The connecting rod 104 is connected to two adjacent moving limiting plates 101. A third elastic member 105 is connected between the connecting rod 104 and the adjusting plate 6. The third elastic member 105 is wound around the outside of the sliding rod 103. A limiting component for limiting the sliding rod 103 is provided at the bottom of the adjusting plate 6.

[0047] Referring to Figure 9 As shown in the figure, the limiting component includes a limiting rod 106. Two limiting rods 106 are connected to the rear side of the bottom of the adjusting plate 6. The limiting rod 106 can limit the sliding rod 103.

[0048] Initially, the third elastic member 105 is in a stretched state. When the server is placed between two adjusting plates 6 at the same height, the moving limiting plate 101 can limit the server. When it is necessary to take out the server for replacement, rotate the sliding rod 103 by 90 degrees to release the sliding rod 103 by the limiting rod 106. The third elastic member 105 returns to its original state, driving the connecting rod 104 to move forward, thereby driving the sliding rod 103 and the moving limiting plate 101 to move forward. The moving limiting plate 101 drives the server to move forward, facilitating the worker to take out and replace the server. After replacement, push the sliding rod 103 backward, driving the connecting rod 104 and the moving limiting plate 101 to move backward and reset. The third elastic member 105 is stretched, and the moving limiting plate 101 drives the server to move backward. The limiting block 102 can limit the server to prevent the server from moving too far. Then rotate the sliding rod 103 90 degrees in the reverse direction to reset, so that the limiting rod 106 blocks the sliding rod 103 again.

[0049] Referring to Figure 11 As shown in the figure, it further includes rollers 11. A plurality of rollers 11 are rotatably connected to the adjusting plate 6 at intervals.

[0050] When the moving limiting plate 101 drives the server to move back and forth, it can drive the rollers 11 to rotate forward and backward. The rollers 11 are used to reduce friction and prevent the server from being worn.

[0051] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention within the knowledge of those skilled in the art.
