Detailed Implementation

[0046] 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.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The diagram illustrates a structural schematic of an ear loop according to the present invention, which may specifically include: a base 100, a snap-fit ​​assembly, a fastener 180, and an elastic component; the fastener 180 is connected to the base 100; the snap-fit ​​assembly is rotatably connected to the base 100 to switch between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position, the snap-fit ​​assembly covers the fastener 180, and in the second position, the snap-fit ​​assembly releases the cover of the fastener 180; the elastic component is connected between the snap-fit ​​assembly and the base 100, and in response to a pressing operation acting on the snap-fit ​​assembly, the elastic component drives the snap-fit ​​assembly to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position.

[0048] The present invention provides a latching assembly, a fastener 180, and an elastic component on a base 100 via a latching lug. The latching assembly is rotatably connected to the base 100, allowing it to cover the fastener 180 in a first position or switch to a second position to release the cover. The elastic component connects the latching assembly to the base 100 and, in response to a pressing operation, allows the latching assembly to rotate from the first position to the second position, releasing the cover and holding the latching assembly in the second position. Therefore, during the process of removing the server from the server rack, only one hand is needed to press the latching component of the mounting bracket, causing the latching component to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position where the fastener 180 is unobstructed, exposing the fastener 180. Then, with the latching component still unobstructing the fastener 180, the fastener 180 can be removed with one hand, without the need for both hands to work together. This makes the operation simple and labor-saving, improves the work efficiency of the operator, and enhances the user experience.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, under normal conditions, such as when the server and server rack are in operation, the mounting ears can achieve a stable connection between the server and the server rack through the buckle assembly; under special conditions, such as during server transportation or server testing, it is necessary to use fasteners 180 to further reinforce the connection of the server, enhance the stability and reliability of the connection, and prevent the server from being disconnected and damaged during transportation or testing.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, the base 100 provides support and load-bearing capacity for the latching assembly, fastener 180, and elastic component of the mounting lug, allowing it to be installed on the base 100. The latching assembly enables the mounting lug to be fastened to a server rack when the server is installed in a server rack application scenario, thus connecting the server to the server rack. The fastener 180 securely connects the server to the server rack, further ensuring a stable and reliable connection. When it is necessary for the latching assembly to release its obstruction of the fastener 180, the elastic component provides elasticity to the latching assembly, causing the latching assembly to release its obstruction of the fastener 180 under the drive of the elastic component, and maintaining its obstruction position to facilitate the removal of the fastener 180.

[0051] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the fastener 180 may include bolts, studs, screws, nuts, rivets, self-tapping screws, wood screws, etc., and this embodiment of the invention may not limit the specific type of the fastener 180.

[0052] Optionally, the elastic component includes a first torsion spring 141; the latching component includes a mounting plate 110 and a latch 170, the mounting plate 110 is provided with a pressing part 111, the pressing part 111 is movably connected to the mounting plate 110, the mounting plate 110 is rotatably connected to the base 100 through the first torsion spring 141, the mounting plate 110 is connected to the latch 170, and the latch 170 is rotatably connected to the base 100; the base 100 is provided with a mounting groove at a position corresponding to the pressing part 111, in the first position, the pressing part 111 is embedded in the mounting groove, and the mounting plate 110 covers the fastener 180; in response to a pressing operation acting on the pressing part 111, the first torsion spring 141 drives the mounting plate 110 to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, a mounting groove is provided on the base 100 at a position corresponding to the pressing part 111. The pressing part 111 can be embedded in the mounting groove to achieve the connection between the pressing part 111 and the base 100. When the mounting plate 110 is in the first position, the mounting plate 110 covers the fastener 180. When the user performs a pressing operation on the pressing part 111, the pressing part 111 slides out from the embedded mounting groove. Under the elastic force of the first torsion spring 141, the first torsion spring 141 drives the mounting plate 110 to move. The mounting plate 110 drives the buckle 170 to rotate, so that the mounting plate 110 rotates from the first position to the second position, releasing the mounting plate 110 from covering the fastener 180, and keeping the mounting plate 110 in the second position where the fastener 180 is uncovered.

[0054] Optionally, the elastic component includes a first spring; the pressing part 111 is movably connected to the base 100 via the first spring, and in response to a pressing operation acting on the pressing part 111, the pressing part 111 slides out from the mounting groove, and under the action of the first torsion spring 141, the mounting plate 110 rotates from the first position to the second position and remains in the second position.

[0055] In this embodiment of the invention, when the mounting plate 110 is in the second position, the user can push the pressing part 111 to rotate toward the mounting groove of the base 100. Under the action of the first spring, the pressing part 111 is ejected toward the mounting groove, so that the pressing part 111 is securely embedded in the mounting groove of the base 100. When the mounting plate 110 is in the first position, in response to the pressing operation acting on the pressing part 111, the pressing part 111 slides out of the mounting groove under the elastic force of the first spring. Under the action of the first torsion spring 141, the mounting plate 110 rotates from the first position to the second position, releasing the mounting plate 110 from obstructing the fastener 180, and remains in the second position.

[0056] Optionally, the latching assembly further includes: a connecting rod 160; one end of the connecting rod 160 is connected to the mounting plate 110, and the other end of the connecting rod 160 is connected to the latch 170; the rotation of the mounting plate 110 drives the connecting rod 160 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rod 160 drives the latch 170 to move in tandem.

[0057] In this embodiment of the invention, when the mounting ear is applied to the server and connected to the server rack, the buckle 170 engages with the server rack. When the mounting plate 110 rotates from the first position to the second position, the mounting plate 110 drives the connecting rod 160 to rotate, and the connecting rod 160 in turn drives the buckle 170 to rotate, so that the buckle 170 is released from the server rack, making it easier to remove the server from the server rack.

[0058] Optionally, one end of the connecting rod 160 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 110, and the other end of the connecting rod 160 is provided with a groove. At least a portion of the latch 170 is embedded in the groove and can slide along the groove. By embedding at least a portion of the latch 170 in the groove, the latch 170 can be slidably connected to the connecting rod 160. When the mounting plate 110 rotates from the first position to the second position, the mounting plate 110 drives the connecting rod 160 to rotate, and the latch 170 can slide along the groove from one end of the groove to the other end and remain at the other end, further facilitating the connection between the connecting rod 160 and the latch 170 and allowing the latch 170 to slide with the connecting rod 160.

[0059] Optionally, the elastic component further includes a second torsion spring 151; the buckle 170 is rotatably connected to the base 100 via the second torsion spring 151. In response to a pressing operation acting on the pressing part 111, the second torsion spring 151 drives the buckle 170 to rotate around the base 100, thereby causing the mounting plate 110 to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, a second torsion spring 151 is provided within the elastic component. In response to a pressing operation acting on the pressing part 111, the second torsion spring 151 drives the buckle 170 to rotate around the base 100 under the elastic force, causing the mounting plate 110 to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position. The second torsion spring 151 makes it easier for the buckle 170 to rotate around the base 100 under the elastic force.

[0061] Optionally, the elastic force of the first torsion spring 141 is greater than that of the second torsion spring 151. Because the elastic force of the first torsion spring 141 is greater than that of the second torsion spring 151, in response to a pressing operation acting on the latch 170 assembly, the first torsion spring 141 can drive the mounting plate 110 to rotate, and the second torsion spring 151, with a lesser elastic force than the first torsion spring 141, can drive the latch 170 to rotate, allowing the mounting plate 110 to smoothly rotate from the first position to the second position, releasing the fastener 180 from obstruction and holding it in the second position.

[0062] Optionally, the base 100 is further provided with a first rotating shaft 140 and a second rotating shaft 150; the mounting plate 110 and the first torsion spring 141 are both sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft 140 and can rotate around the first rotating shaft 140. The first torsion spring 141 is located between the mounting plate 110 and the first rotating shaft 140, realizing the rotational connection between the mounting plate 110 and the base 100, and providing the mounting plate 110 with the elastic drive of the first torsion spring 141; the buckle 170 and the second torsion spring 151 are both sleeved on the outside of the second rotating shaft 150 and can rotate around the second rotating shaft 150. The second torsion spring 151 is located between the buckle 170 and the first rotating shaft 140, realizing the rotational connection between the buckle 170 and the base 100, and providing the buckle 170 with the elastic drive of the second torsion spring 151.

[0063] Optionally, in the second position, the planar direction of the mounting plate 110 is inclined to the vertical direction. Since the planar direction of the mounting plate 110 is inclined to the vertical direction, the plane of the mounting plate 110 forms an angle with the vertical direction. The angle can be set to a preset angle, which can include any value from 0 to 180°. Optionally, the angle can be set to 60° to facilitate the installation or removal of the fastener 180 in the second position.

[0064] Optionally, the mounting plate 110 further includes a first mounting portion 120 and a second mounting portion 130; the first mounting portion 120 is connected to the base 100, and the second mounting portion 130 is connected to the buckle 170, with the first mounting portion 120 detachably connected to the second mounting portion 130. The first mounting portion 120 is provided with at least one snap-fit ​​member; the second mounting portion 130 is provided with at least one locking portion corresponding to the position where the snap-fit ​​member is located on the first mounting portion 120, and the detachable connection between the first mounting portion 120 and the second mounting portion 130 can be achieved through the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​member and the locking portion.

[0065] In practical applications, the second mounting part 130 may be provided with brand logos or other patterns. The second mounting part 130 is detachably connected to the first mounting part 120. The second mounting part 130 can be disassembled and replaced with other brand logos or no logos according to user needs without affecting other parts of the hanging ear, thus providing convenience for users.

[0066] Specifically, the card connector may include a hook, a card, a card plate, etc. The specific type of the card connector may not be limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0067] In summary, the hook of this invention has at least the following advantages: The hook of this invention provides a latching assembly, a fastener, and an elastic component on the base of the hook; the latching assembly is rotatably connected to the base, allowing the latching assembly to cover the fastener in a first position or switch to a second position to release the cover; the elastic component is connected between the latching assembly and the base, and in response to a pressing operation on the latching assembly, the latching assembly rotates from the first position to the second position under the drive of the elastic component, releasing the cover of the fastener and keeping the latching assembly stationary in the second position. Therefore, during the process of removing the server from the server rack, only one hand is needed to press the latching component of the mounting bracket, causing the latching component to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position where the fastener is unobstructed, exposing the fastener. Then, with the latching component still unobstructing the fastener, the fastener can be removed with one hand, without the need for both hands to work together. This makes the operation simple and labor-saving, improves the operator's work efficiency, and enhances the user experience.

[0068] This invention also discloses a server, comprising: a chassis 400 and the mounting ears; the mounting ears are connected to the chassis 400. By connecting the mounting ears to the server chassis 400, the server can be connected to a server rack via the mounting ears. During the process of removing the server from the server rack, only one hand is needed to press the latch 170 component of the mounting ear, causing the latch component to rotate from a first position to a second position, and remain in the second position where the fastener 180 is unobstructed, exposing the fastener 180. Then, with the latch component remaining unobstructed, the fastener 180 can be removed with one hand. This facilitates the installation or removal of the server from the server rack via the mounting ears.

[0069] Optionally, the ear hook includes a functional module 200, which includes at least one of a USB (Universal Serial Bus) module and a display graphics array module; the server also includes a baffle 300, which is connected to the ear hook and the chassis 400 respectively, and the baffle 300, the ear hook and the chassis 400 form a receiving cavity, which is used to accommodate the wiring of the functional module 200.

[0070] In practical applications of this invention, the functional module 200 typically includes at least one of a USB module and a display graphics array module, wherein the USB module may include a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

[0071] Step 1: Assemble the mounting plate 110 to the lug base 100.

[0072] The first torsion spring 141 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 140, and then the first mounting part 120 of the mounting plate 110 is assembled onto the first rotating shaft 140. Under the elastic force of the first torsion spring 141, the plane of the first mounting part 120 of the assembled mounting plate 110 is opened at a preset angle to the vertical direction in the initial state. The preset angle may include any value from 0 to 180°. Optionally, the angle may be set to 60° to obtain component 1.

[0073] Step 2: Assemble the buckles, connecting rods, display drawing array module, and fasteners 180.

[0074] The mounting ear may also include a display graphics array module mounting support frame, which fixes the display graphics array module to the corresponding position on the support frame via a connector.

Then, the fastener 180 is connected to the base 100 to obtain component 2.

[0075] Step 3: Assemble the USB module, component 1, and component 2.

[0076] The base 100 of the ear hook may include a USB module slot. The USB module is assembled with the base 100 through the USB module slot. Then, component 2 is nested in component 1. One end of the connecting rod 160 is connected to the first mounting part 120 of the mounting plate 110. After the above assembly is completed, component 2 and component 1 are locked together. The first mounting part 120 of the mounting plate 110, the connecting rod 160 and the buckle 170 are connected.

[0077] Step 4: Assemble the second mounting part 130.

[0078] The second mounting part 130 is snapped onto the first mounting part 120 via a snap-fit ​​connector, thereby achieving a detachable connection between the first mounting part 120 and the second mounting part 130. Then, the first spring is installed at the pressing part 111 to obtain a complete ear hook assembly.

[0079] Step 5: Assemble the ear-mounting assembly to the server chassis 400.

[0080] The server chassis 400 can be provided with a mounting bracket, and the mounting bracket can be fixed to the server chassis 400 by means of a mounting component.

The specific type of the mounting part of the ear can be not limited in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0082] Step 6: Assemble the cable guide plate.

[0083] After completing the assembly in step 5 above, the wiring of functional modules 200, such as the display graphics array module and the USB module, will be exposed outside the server. The server chassis 400 has wiring notches. The wiring is placed inside the server along the wiring notches, and then the baffle 300 covers the exposed wiring. A baffle mounting part is provided on the baffle 300, and corresponding baffle mounting components are provided on the mounting ears and the server chassis 400. The connection between the baffle mounting part and the baffle mounting components allows the baffle 300 to be fixedly connected to the mounting ears and the server chassis 400, respectively.

[0084] It should be noted that the above is merely an example illustrating one assembly step for completing an embodiment of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the described order of steps, as some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the embodiments of the present invention. Furthermore, those skilled in the art should also understand that the embodiments described in the specification are all optional embodiments, and the actions involved are not necessarily essential to the embodiments of the present invention.

[0085] Optionally, the baffle 300 can be detachably connected to both the mounting ear and the chassis 400. This detachable connection facilitates the assembly of the wiring within the baffle 300, improving ease of operation for technicians.

[0086] Specifically, a baffle mounting part is provided on the baffle 300, and baffle mounting components are correspondingly provided on the mounting ears and the server chassis 400. Through the connection between the baffle mounting part and the baffle mounting components, the baffle 300 is detachably connected and fixed to the mounting ears and the server chassis 400, respectively. The baffle mounting part may include a single mounting component or a combination of multiple mounting components such as a card, hook, bolt, screw, stud, or rivet. This embodiment of the invention does not limit the specific type of the baffle mounting part.

[0087] In summary, the server according to an embodiment of the present invention has at least the following advantages: The server of the present invention provides a latching assembly, a fastener, and an elastic component on the base of the server's mounting ears; the latching assembly is rotatably connected to the base, and the elastic component is connected between the latching assembly and the base. Responding to a pressing operation on the latching assembly, the latching assembly rotates from a first position to a second position under the drive of the elastic component, releasing the fastener from obstruction and holding the latching assembly in the second position. Therefore, during the process of removing the server from the server rack, only one hand is needed to press the latching assembly on the mounting ears, causing the latching assembly to rotate from the first position to the second position and remain in the second position where the fastener is exposed. With the latching assembly still unobstructed, the fastener can be removed with one hand, without the need for simultaneous control with both hands. This simplifies operation, saves effort, improves operator efficiency, and enhances user experience. Meanwhile, the wiring baffle provides more space for wiring, making it easier for those skilled in the art to perform wiring operations.

[0088] Finally, it should be noted that in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or terminal device that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or terminal device. Without further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or terminal device that includes said element.

[0089] The above provides a detailed description of the ear hook and server provided by the present invention. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of the present invention. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
