[0033] Figure 3 This is a partial exploded view of a server chassis provided in an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the second part of the server chassis provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention proposes a server chassis 10, which includes: a top cover 11, a locking mechanism, and a bottom plate 12; the top cover 11 is located above the bottom plate 12, and the rear window on the top cover 11 and the bottom plate 12 is locked by the locking mechanism; the locking mechanism includes two sets of locking components 13 with identical structures, and both sets of locking components 13 are disposed on one side of the top cover 11, and the locking component 13 includes a handle 131 and a damping screw 132; the first end of the handle 131 can rotate around the damping screw 132 on the lower end face of the top cover 11; the second end of the handle 131 is provided with a first side plate 1311, and the first side plate 1311 is provided with a hand-tightening screw 1312; the top cover 11 is provided with a second side plate 14, and the second side plate 14 is provided with a stud 141 adapted to the hand-tightening screw 1312.

[0034] In this embodiment, the server chassis 10 includes: a top cover 11, a locking mechanism, and a base plate 12; the top cover 11 is movably mounted on the base plate 12, and the rear window on the top cover 11 and the base plate 12 is locked together by the locking mechanism; the rear window is a side panel fixedly mounted on the base plate 12. When the top cover 11 is closed on the base plate 12, a sealed cavity is formed between the top cover 11 and the base plate 12, and chassis components are disposed within the sealed cavity. The locking mechanism includes two sets of identical locking components 13, and both sets of locking components 13 are disposed on one side of the upper cover 11. Each locking component 13 includes a handle 131 and a damping screw 132. The first end of the handle 131 can rotate around the damping screw 132 on the lower end face of the upper cover 11. The handle 131 generates a damping feel during rotation, which can improve the user experience. Maintenance personnel can easily disassemble and assemble the upper cover 11 by rotating the handle 131. The handle 131 has a first side plate 1311 at its second end, and a hand-tightening screw 1312 is provided on the first side plate 1311. The upper cover 11 has a second side plate 14, and a stud 141 adapted to the hand-tightening screw 1312 is provided on the second side plate 14. When the hand-tightening screw 1312 is located in the stud 141, the upper cover 11 is in a locked state. When the upper cover 11 is in a locked state, the locked state can be released by rotating the hand-tightening screw 1312 and then holding the hand-tightening screw 1312 to rotate the handle 131 away from the rear window.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handle 131 includes a first protrusion 1313 and a second protrusion 1314 connected to the first protrusion, and the gap between the first protrusion 1313 and the second protrusion 1314 forms an opening 1315.

[0036] In this embodiment, the handle 131 includes a first protrusion 1313 and a second protrusion 1314 connected to the first protrusion. The gap between the first protrusion 1313 and the second protrusion 1314 forms an opening 1315. Maintenance personnel can easily disassemble and assemble the upper cover 11 by rotating the handle 131.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a rear window pin 121 is provided on the upper end face of the rear window, and the rear window pin 121 is disposed between the openings 1315.

[0038] In this embodiment, when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 toward the rear window side, the opening 1315 facing the first protrusion will press against the rear window pin 121, thereby moving the upper cover 11 forward. When the hand screw 1312 contacts the stud 141, the hand screw 1312 is rotated to lock the hand screw 1312 into the stud 141.

[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting groove 1316 is provided at the end of the first protrusion 1313 away from the second protrusion 1314; a stop pin 111 adapted to the limiting groove 1316 is provided on the lower end face of the upper cover 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the handle 131 rotates a certain angle away from the rear window around the damping screw 132, the stop pin 111 is engaged in the limiting groove 1316. The stop pin 111 can limit the rotation angle of the handle 131 and prevent the handle 131 from being over-bent, causing damage to the handle 131.

[0041] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower end face of the upper cover 11 is also provided with a first elastic protrusion 112 and a second elastic protrusion 113; the first elastic protrusion 112 is located above the second elastic protrusion 113; when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 toward the rear window side, the first end of the handle 131 disengages from the first elastic protrusion 112 or the second elastic protrusion 113; when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 toward the side away from the rear window, the first end of the handle 131 abuts against the first elastic protrusion 112 or the second elastic protrusion 113.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the upper cover 11 is further provided with a first elastic protrusion 112 and a second elastic protrusion 113; the first elastic protrusion 112 is located above the second elastic protrusion 113; when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 toward the rear window side, the first end of the handle 131 disengages from the first elastic protrusion 112 or the second elastic protrusion 113; when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 away from the rear window side, the first end of the handle 131 abuts against the first elastic protrusion 112 or the second elastic protrusion 113. During the rotation of the handle 131, a tactile feedback is generated, and the maintenance personnel rotating the handle 131 can judge whether the handle 131 has been rotated to the correct position based on this feedback.

[0043] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the handle 131 is also provided with a through hole 1317 that is adapted to the second elastic protrusion 113.

[0044] In this embodiment, when the handle 131 is moved away from the rear window and fully opened, the second elastic protrusion 113 engages precisely within the through hole 1317, providing a tactile feedback. The maintenance personnel rotating the handle 131 can determine whether it has been fully rotated based on this feedback. When the second elastic protrusion 113 is precisely engaged within the through hole 1317, the maintenance personnel can remove the top cover 11.

[0045] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the hand-tightening screw 1312 includes a handle and a screw body connected to the handle; the first side plate 1311 is provided with a first side plate through hole adapted to the screw body.

[0046] In this embodiment, when the upper cover 11 is in the locked state, the locked state can be released by rotating the handle and then holding the handle to rotate the handle 131 away from the rear window.

[0047] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the stud 141 includes a receiving groove adapted to the screw body.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the handle 131 rotates around the damping screw 132 toward the rear window side, the opening 1315 facing the first protrusion will press against the rear window pin 121, thereby moving the upper cover 11 forward. When the screw body contacts the stud 141, rotating the handle will lock the screw body into the receiving groove.

[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the upper cover 11 is provided with a first extrusion groove that is adapted to the damping screw 132; the handle 131 is provided with a second extrusion groove that is adapted to the damping screw 132.

[0050] In this embodiment, the upper cover 11 is provided with a first extrusion groove that is adapted to the damping screw 132; the handle 131 is provided with a second extrusion groove that is adapted to the damping screw 132, which can effectively prevent the handle 131 from falling off.

[0051] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly 13 also includes a damping washer sleeved on the damping screw 132, and the damping washer covers the upper end surface of the upper cover 11.

[0052] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 13 further includes a damping washer sleeved on the damping screw 132. The damping washer covers the upper end surface of the upper cover 11 and can effectively prevent the handle 131 from falling off.
