[0046] First embodiment

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1-11 , in the first embodiment of the present invention, the server test quick docking device includes: two test trolleys 10 and a test frame 20. Four adjustable feet are provided at the bottom of the test frame 20 and are distributed in a rectangular array, and the height of the test frame 20 can be adjusted as required. The two test trolleys 10 are respectively located on both sides of the test frame 20. The test trolley 10 includes a vehicle body 11. Two trolley handles 12 are fixedly installed on one side of the vehicle body 11 away from the test frame 20. Four self-locking universal wheels 13 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the vehicle body 11 and are distributed in a rectangular array. Three network port interface alignment parts 14 and three power plug alignment parts 15 are fixedly installed on one side of the vehicle body 11 close to the test frame 20. Among them, the three network port interface alignment parts 14 are on the same side and are aligned vertically. The three power plug alignment parts 15 are on the other side and are also aligned vertically. Three servers are installed in the vehicle body 11. The network port interface alignment parts 14 and the power plug alignment parts 15 on the same layer are both electrically connected to the corresponding servers. Four test trolley guide holes 16 are opened on one side of the vehicle body 11 close to the test frame 20;

[0048] On both sides of the test gantry 20, four test gantry guide columns 21 are fixedly installed. The test gantry guide columns 21 are adapted to and correspond one by one with the test cart guide holes 16. On both sides of the test gantry 20, three cable fixing beams 22 are fixedly installed. On the six cable fixing beams 22, a network port docking device 30 that cooperates with the network port interface alignment member 14 and a power plug docking device 40 that cooperates with the power plug alignment member 15 are fixedly installed. During the test, align the four test cart guide holes 16 on the test cart 10 with the four test gantry guide columns 21 on the corresponding side of the test gantry 20 and approach them, then the network port docking device 30 can be aligned with the network port interface alignment member 14. Correspondingly, the power plug docking device 40 will also be aligned with the power plug alignment member 15;

[0049] The network port docking device 30 includes a first docking plate 31 and a first mounting plate 32. The first mounting plate 32 is fixedly installed on the cable fixing beam 22. A first rotating shaft 33 is penetrated and rotatably installed on the first mounting plate 32. The first docking plate 31 is fixedly sleeved on the first rotating shaft 33. At both ends of the first rotating shaft 33, first snap rings 34 are provided. A crystal head fixing plate 35 is fixedly installed on the first docking plate 31. A network crystal plug is fixed in the crystal head fixing plate 35. After the network port docking device 30 is aligned with the network port interface alignment member 14 and inserted in place, the network crystal plug can be inserted into the network port;

[0050] The power plug docking device 40 includes a second docking plate 41 and a second mounting plate 42. The second mounting plate 42 is fixedly installed on the cable fixing beam 22. A second rotating shaft 43 is penetrated and rotatably installed on the second mounting plate 42. The second docking plate 41 is fixedly sleeved on the second rotating shaft 43. At both ends of the second rotating shaft 43, second snap rings 44 are provided. A power plug fixing plate 45 is fixedly installed on the second docking plate 41. A power plug is fixed in the power plug fixing plate 45. After the power plug docking device 40 is aligned with the power plug alignment member 15 and inserted in place, the power plug can complete the cooperation with the power interface.

[0051] In order to further align the network port docking device 30 with the network port interface alignment member 14 and the power plug docking device 40 with the power plug alignment member 15, two positioning jacks are opened on both the network port interface alignment member 14 and the power plug alignment member 15. Two first positioning rods 36 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the first docking plate 31. Two second positioning rods 46 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the second docking plate 41. The first positioning rods 36 and the second positioning rods 46 are both adapted to the corresponding positioning jacks. The ends of the first positioning rods 36 and the second positioning rods 46 are both conical heads, which are more convenient to be inserted into the corresponding positioning jacks smoothly.

[0052] In this embodiment, in order to avoid uneven road surface and processing errors of 20 test racks or 10 server test carts, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 10 The first docking plate 31 and the second docking plate 41 are provided with bent edges on both sides, so that there is a 3mm movable space between the first docking plate 31 and the first mounting plate 32, and between the second docking plate 41 and the second mounting plate 42, thereby ensuring precise alignment with the network port interface alignment member 14 and the power plug alignment member 15.

[0053] In this embodiment:

[0054] First, put the assembled server into the test cart 10, wherein the test cart 10 has standard network cabinet installation features, and the server is fixed with the screws provided by the server. When the server test cart 10 is pushed into the test rack station, the test rack guide column 21 guides forward and backward into the test cart guide hole 16 on the test cart 10, and first accurately limits the left and right positions of the test cart 10 for the first time to ensure that the network port docking device 30 and the power plug docking device 40 on the test rack 20 are accurately limited up and down with the network port interface alignment member 14 and the power plug alignment member 15 respectively, so as to ensure that the crystal head and the power plug are accurately docked with the server. After the test cart 10 is docked with the network port docking device 30 and the power plug docking device 40 on the rack, the position of the test cart 10 is fixed by the self-locking universal wheel 13 to prevent displacement during the test process.

[0055] In order to avoid uneven road surface and processing errors of the test frame 20 or the test cart 10, a network port docking device 30 is specially designed to avoid up and down errors. The docking process of the network port docking device 30 is: when the test cart 10 is not pushed in, the first docking plate 31 and the first mounting plate 32 have up and down activity space, and the first mounting plate 32 has a bending edge design to limit the first docking plate 31 to have 3mm activity space, thereby ensuring accurate alignment with the network port interface alignment member 14. When the test cart 10 is pushed in, the two first positioning rods 36 on the first mounting plate 32 first contact with the power plug alignment member 15 and align successfully, thereby ensuring that the network port and the crystal head remain on the same horizontal plane. When the test cart 10 is pushed in again, the contact and docking of the network port and the crystal head are ensured; the alignment principle of the power plug alignment member 15 and the network port interface alignment member 14 is the same, which will not be repeated here.

[0056] Compared with the related art, the server test quick docking device provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] The server test quick docking device provided by the present invention, through the settings of the power plug alignment member 15, network port interface alignment member 14, network port docking device 30, power plug docking device 40, test rack guide post 21, and test cart guide hole 16, during the test, align the test cart guide hole 16 on the test cart 10 with the corresponding test rack guide post 21 on the corresponding side of the test rack 20 and push it in. When the test cart 10 is pushed in place, it can enable the three network port docking devices 30 to be accurately docked with the corresponding network port interface alignment members 14, and the three power plug docking devices 40 to be accurately docked with the corresponding power plug alignment members 15, avoiding the cumbersome work of manually plugging and unplugging network cables and power cords, reducing the man-hours required for testing the server, improving the efficiency of the test production line, and shortening the production cycle of the server.

[0058] Second Embodiment:

[0059] Based on the server test quick docking device provided in the first embodiment of the present application, the second embodiment of the present application proposes another server test quick docking device. The second embodiment is merely a preferred manner of the first embodiment, and the implementation of the second embodiment will not affect the independent implementation of the first embodiment.

[0060] The following further describes the second embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 12-14 , the server test quick docking device further includes four auxiliary alignment mechanisms 50 provided on both sides of the test rack 20. Each auxiliary alignment mechanism 50 includes a side fixing block 51, a guiding arm 52, and a plurality of rollers 53. The side fixing block 51 is fixedly installed on the test rack 20 by bolts, and the guiding arm 52 is fixedly installed on the guiding arm 52 by bolts. Two guiding arms 52 form a group to constitute a guiding port for straightening and guiding the test cart 10. The end of the guiding arm 52 far from the test rack 20 is designed to be bent, which makes the entrance of the guiding port gradually smaller from large, facilitating the blind entry of the test cart 10 into the guiding port. A plurality of rollers 53 are all rotatably installed on the guiding arm 52. Through the setting of the rollers 53, a rolling friction is formed with the test cart 10, which is beneficial to the smooth entry of the test cart 10.

[0062] In this embodiment:

[0063] With the provision of four auxiliary alignment mechanisms 50, every two auxiliary alignment mechanisms 50 form a group to constitute a guiding port, and the entrance of the guiding port gradually becomes smaller from large. When the tester pushes the test cart 10 towards the test rack 20, there is no need to overly consider whether the test cart guiding holes 16 are aligned with the test rack guiding columns 21 on the test rack 20 left and right. Just ensure that it is within the range of the entrance of the guiding port. When the side view of the cart 10 enters between the two guiding arms 52, it can automatically align with the test rack 20 left and right. When there is no large error in the two heights, the test rack guiding columns 21 on the test rack 20 can smoothly insert into the test cart guiding holes 16, and then the docking work is completed. This setting can further reduce the man-hours required for the test server.

[0064] Third Embodiment:

[0065] Please refer to Figures 15-17 , the difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that: the guiding arm 52 is slidably installed on the side fixing block 51. Specifically, there are two T-shaped sliding grooves opened on the side fixing block 51, and two T-shaped sliding blocks are fixedly installed on the guiding arm 52. The two T-shaped sliding blocks are respectively slidably installed in the corresponding T-shaped sliding grooves in a matching manner, so that the guiding arm 52 can only slide up and down. On the outer wall of the side fixing block 51 far away from the test rack 20, there are also a plurality of slots 54 opened. A square sliding hole is opened on the guiding arm 52, and a plug board 57 is penetrated and slidably installed in the square sliding hole. Two limiting sliding rods 55 are fixedly installed on the guiding arm 52, and the same moving plate 56 is slidably sleeved on the two limiting sliding rods 55. The side of the moving plate 56 close to the test rack 20 is fixedly connected to the plug board 57. One end of the plug board 57 far away from the moving plate 56 extends into one of the slots 54. A circular end block is integrally formed at the end of the limiting sliding rod 55 far away from the guiding arm 52. A compression spring is sleeved on the limiting sliding rod 55. One end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the moving plate 56, and the other end of the compression spring is fixedly connected to the circular end block. A grip 58 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the moving plate 56 far away from the guiding arm 52.

[0066] In this embodiment:

[0067] When there are cables or other components at the height positions corresponding to the two sides of the test cart 10 and the guiding arms 52, the height position of the guiding arms 52 can be adjusted for avoidance. During the adjustment, the moving plate 56 is pulled outwards through the grip 58, and the moving plate 56 drives the plug board 57 to move. In this way, the plug board 57 withdraws from the original slot 54, so that the guiding arm 52 can slide up and down. In the above process, both compression springs are compressed. After that, the guiding arm 52 can be adjusted up and down. When the height of the guiding arm 52 is determined, slowly release the grip 58. Under the elastic force of the two compression springs, the moving plate 56 and the plug board 57 will perform a reset movement. In this way, the plug board 57 can be inserted into the slot 54 at the current height position.

[0068] The above are only embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, shall be equally included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
