Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically to a security lock and a server. Background Technology

[0002] Servers typically store data using memory, which is either directly inserted into the server's mounting slot or first installed on a tray, which is then inserted into the server's mounting slot. Both the memory and the tray have handles that technicians can pull to remove them from the server.

[0003] However, because the handle assembly is too flexible, technicians may accidentally touch it when maintaining the server, causing the memory or tray to pop out of the server, making the server unable to function properly. At the same time, the memory is also easy to be stolen. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a security lock and server to solve the problem that the handle assembly is too flexible and that technicians may accidentally touch the handle assembly.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a safety lock, the safety lock comprising:

[0006] The lock body has a mounting slot;

[0007] A handle assembly is disposed in the mounting groove; a first end of the handle assembly is rotatably connected to the lock body, and a second end of the handle assembly is provided with a first fixing member; when the handle assembly rotates, it has a first state of being embedded in the mounting groove and a second state of being disengaged from the mounting groove.

[0008] A movable key assembly is movably disposed on the lock body. The movable key assembly has a second fixing member on one side near the second end of the handle assembly. The movable key assembly has a first position near the second end of the handle assembly and a second position away from the second end of the handle assembly. When the movable key assembly is in the first position, the first fixing member and the second fixing member cooperate to fix it. When the movable key assembly is in the second position, the first fixing member and the second fixing member are separated.

[0009] A locking mechanism is movably disposed on the movable key group, and the locking mechanism moves with the movable key group; the locking mechanism has a locked position abutting against the lock body and an unlocked position separated from the lock body. When the locking mechanism is in the locked position, the movable key group cannot move on the lock body, and when the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position, the movable key group is adapted to move on the lock body.

[0010] Beneficial Effects: This embodiment of the invention, by setting a locking mechanism, prevents technicians from accidentally triggering the handle assembly of storage devices or other devices equipped with security locks. The locking mechanism can be adjusted to the locked position, where it abuts against the lock body. Since the locking mechanism is directly mounted on the movable key group, it restricts the pushing function of the movable key group, preventing it from moving on the lock body. Thus, the handle assembly cannot disengage from the mounting slot, achieving the device locking function. Conversely, if it is necessary to remove the storage device or other device equipped with a security lock, the locking mechanism must be adjusted to the unlocked position. In this position, the movable key group can move on the lock body, allowing the handle assembly to disengage from the mounting slot, thereby unlocking the device.

[0011] In one alternative implementation, the handle assembly includes:

[0012] A handle is provided in the mounting slot;

[0013] A pivot is provided at the first end of the handle; a pivot hole is provided on the lock body at the position corresponding to the pivot, and the pivot is inserted into the pivot hole so that the handle and the lock body are rotatably connected.

[0014] Beneficial effects: By incorporating a handle and a hinge, this invention allows the handle to be removed from the mounting slot during use and retracted after use or when not in use. This prevents accidental activation of the handle assembly during server maintenance, ensuring the memory or tray remains operational. Furthermore, when the server is unattended, the locking mechanism can be directly operated to lock the system, enhancing overall server security.

[0015] In one optional embodiment, the first fixing member is a protrusion, and the second fixing member is a groove adapted to be embedded in the protrusion; when the movable key group is in the first position, the protrusion is embedded in the groove, so that the handle is maintained in the first state; when the movable key group is in the second position, the protrusion disengages from the groove, so that the handle disengages from the mounting slot.

[0016] Beneficial effects: By incorporating protrusions and grooves, the embodiments of the present invention simplify the overall structure of the first and second fixing components, thereby reducing mold-making costs and production costs to a certain extent. Simultaneously, the grooves and protrusions facilitate the engagement of the handle with the movable key assembly, significantly simplifying the operation process compared to other types of fixing components, making it easier for technicians to use and improving work efficiency.

[0017] In one optional implementation, the active key group includes:

[0018] A key body is movably disposed on the lock body, and the key body has a second fixing member disposed on the side near the second end of the handle assembly;

[0019] A reset component, one end of which is disposed on the lock body, and the other end of which is connected to the key body;

[0020] Under the action of external force, the key body has a first position close to the second end of the handle assembly and a second position away from the second end of the handle assembly;

[0021] When the key body is in the first position, the reset member is in an extended state, the first fixing member and the second fixing member cooperate with each other to fix it, and the handle assembly is in a first state of being embedded in the mounting groove.

[0022] When the key body is in the second position, the reset member is in a compressed state, the first fixing member is separated from the second fixing member, and the handle assembly is in a second state of being disengaged from the mounting slot.

[0023] When the external force disappears, under the action of the reset member, the key body moves from the second position to the first position;

[0024] When the handle assembly rotates and re-embeds into the mounting slot under the action of external force, the first fixing member and the second fixing member cooperate with each other to fix it.

[0025] Beneficial Effects: By configuring the active key assembly as a key body and a reset component, during use, only the key body needs to be operated to open the handle assembly. When retracting the handle assembly, there is no need for technicians to manually return the key body to its original position; technicians simply need to release the key body, and it will automatically return to its original position under the action of the reset component. Compared to systems without a reset component, this significantly simplifies the operation process, makes it easier for technicians to use, and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, compared to other return mechanisms, the reset component has a simpler structure, is easier to install, and facilitates replacement and maintenance.

[0026] In one alternative implementation, the reset element is a reset spring.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, the key body has a through hole, and the lock body has a through hole along the movement stroke of the key body, with the through hole corresponding to the through hole;

[0028] After the locking mechanism is inserted into the through hole and the through hole in sequence, it extends into the interior of the lock body;

[0029] The locking mechanism has a locked position that abuts against the inside of the lock body and an unlocked position that is separated from the inside of the lock body.

[0030] Beneficial effects: By integrating the key body and locking mechanism together, the embodiments of the present invention reduce the overall size of the security lock. Simultaneously, they effectively utilize the internal space of the lock body, allowing for application in extremely small structural spaces and improving the space utilization rate of the lock body. Furthermore, there is no need for additional fixing mechanisms on the outside of the lock body to secure it, further reducing the overall size of the security lock and avoiding the occupation of additional space in the server.

[0031] In one alternative embodiment, the locking mechanism includes:

[0032] The locking element has a columnar structure; after being inserted into the through hole and the through hole in sequence, the locking element extends into the interior of the lock body;

[0033] A locking head is disposed at one end of the locking member that extends into the lock body;

[0034] When the locking member rotates under the action of external force, the locking member drives the locking head to rotate, so that the locking head abuts against the inside of the lock body or separates from the inside of the lock body.

[0035] When the locking head abuts against the inside of the lock body, the locking mechanism is in the locked position; when the locking head is separated from the inside of the lock body, the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position.

[0036] Beneficial effects: By configuring the locking mechanism as a locking element and a locking head, this embodiment of the invention significantly simplifies the structural composition and reduces production costs compared to a conventional lock cylinder. Furthermore, it facilitates maintenance and replacement by technicians during use, improving work efficiency.

[0037] In one optional embodiment, a stop member is provided inside the lock body. When the locking head abuts against the stop member, the locking mechanism is in the locked position; when the locking head separates from the stop member, the locking mechanism is in the unlocked position.

[0038] In one alternative embodiment, the locking member has a flat operating portion on its end face near the outside.

[0039] Beneficial effects: By incorporating a flat-mouth operating section, this embodiment of the invention allows technicians to directly operate the section using specialized flat-mouth tools, thereby achieving locking and unlocking. The use of specialized flat-mouth tools also provides a degree of theft prevention, improving the security of the server during use.

[0040] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a server comprising: a storage component, and a security lock as described in any of the preceding embodiments, the security lock being disposed on the storage component. Attached Figure Description

[0058] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0059] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0060] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can also refer to the internal connection of two components; and they can refer to a wireless connection or a wired connection. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0061] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other. Servers typically store data via a memory device, which is either directly inserted into the server's mounting position or first installed on a tray, and then the entire tray is inserted into the server's mounting position. Handle assemblies are provided on the memory device and the tray, allowing technicians to remove the memory device and tray from the server by pulling the handle assemblies.

[0062] However, because the handle assembly is too flexible, technicians may accidentally touch it when maintaining the server, causing the memory or tray to pop out of the server, making the server unable to function properly. At the same time, the memory is also easy to be stolen.

[0063] In view of this, the present invention provides a security lock and server to solve the problem that the handle assembly is too flexible and that technicians may accidentally touch the handle assembly.

[0064] The following is combined Figures 1 to 9 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0065] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a security lock is provided, comprising a lock body 1, a handle assembly 2, a movable key assembly 3, and a locking mechanism 4. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the lock body 1 is provided with a mounting groove 11, which is adapted to embed the handle assembly 2.

[0066] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the handle assembly 2 is disposed in the mounting groove 11. Specifically, the first end of the handle assembly 2 is rotatably connected to the lock body 1. The rotatable connection between the handle assembly 2 and the lock body 1 can be achieved through a pivot 22, a hinge shaft, or a universal joint. Of course, this embodiment is merely an example of the rotatable connection between the handle assembly 2 and the lock body 1, and is not intended to limit the scope. Those skilled in the art can modify the connection according to actual conditions to achieve the same technical effect.

[0067] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the handle assembly 2 has a first state of being embedded in the mounting groove 11 and a second state of being disengaged from the mounting groove 11 when it rotates. That is to say, when a technician uses the handle assembly 2, he needs to pull the handle assembly 2 out of the mounting groove 11. After use or when not in use, the handle assembly 2 can be re-embedded into the mounting groove 11, so that the handle assembly 2 can be stored.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the movable key assembly 3 is movably disposed on the lock body 1. For example, the movable key assembly 3 can slide on the lock body 1. The lock body 1 can be provided with a sliding groove specifically for the sliding of the movable key assembly 3, and sliders suitable for sliding in the sliding groove can be provided on both sides of the movable key assembly 3. Of course, a slide rail can be provided in the sliding groove of the lock body 1, and a slider specifically for sliding on the slide rail can be provided at the bottom of the movable key assembly 3. This can reduce the friction between the movable key assembly 3 and the sliding groove. Of course, the movable key assembly 3 can also be moved on the lock body 1 by a driving device. The driving device can be a telescopic motor, and the telescopic end of the telescopic motor is connected to the movable key assembly 3. Under the driving action of the telescopic motor, the movable key assembly 3 can move on the lock body 1. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, during the activity, the active key group 3 has a first position close to the second end of the handle assembly 2 and a second position away from the second end of the handle assembly 2.

[0069] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, a first fixing member 5 is provided at the second end of the handle assembly 2, and a second fixing member 6 is provided on the side of the movable key group 3 near the second end of the handle assembly 2. When the movable key group 3 is in the first position, the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 cooperate to fix it; when the movable key group 3 is in the second position, the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 are separated.

[0070] Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 can be a screw and a screw hole, respectively; they can be a protrusion and a groove suitable for the protrusion to be inserted, respectively; or they can be opposite magnetic attracting members. Of course, this embodiment is merely an example illustrating the types of the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6, but it does not limit them. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to the actual situation, as long as the same technical effect is achieved.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the locking mechanism 4 is movably disposed on the movable key group 3, and the locking mechanism 4 moves with the movable key group 3. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 has a locked position that abuts against the lock body 1 and an unlocked position that is separated from the lock body 1 during its movement. In the locked position, the locking mechanism 4 blocks the movement of the movable key assembly 3, preventing the movable key assembly 3 from moving on the lock body 1. In the unlocked position, the locking mechanism 4 is not within the movement range of the movable key assembly 3, allowing the movable key assembly 3 to move on the lock body 1.

[0072] During use, technicians first need to adjust the locking mechanism 4 from the locked position to the unlocked position. Then, they need to manually or using a drive device to move the movable key group 3 from the first position to the second position. Next, they can rotate the handle assembly 2 to disengage it from the mounting slot 11, thus enabling its use. After use, technicians need to rotate the handle assembly 2 to insert it into the mounting slot 11, then move the movable key group 3 from the second position to the first position, and finally adjust the locking mechanism 4 from the unlocked position to the locked position.

[0073] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention, by setting a locking mechanism 4, prevents technicians from accidentally triggering the handle assembly 2 of the storage device or other devices equipped with security locks when using them. The locking mechanism 4 can be adjusted to the locked position, where it abuts against the lock body 1. Since the locking mechanism 4 is directly mounted on the movable key group 3, it restricts the pushing function of the movable key group 3, preventing it from moving on the lock body 1. Therefore, the handle assembly 2 cannot disengage from the mounting slot 11, achieving the device locking function. Conversely, if it is necessary to remove the storage device or other devices equipped with security locks, the locking mechanism 4 needs to be adjusted to the unlocked position. In this case, the movable key group 3 can move on the lock body 1, allowing the handle assembly 2 to disengage from the mounting slot 11, thus unlocking the device.

[0074] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the side of the handle assembly 2 closest to the mounting groove 11 matches the end face shape of the mounting groove 11, ensuring a tight fit between the handle assembly 2 and the mounting groove 11. This prevents dust or other impurities from falling into the mounting groove 11 during use, thus preventing the handle assembly 2 from properly embedding into the mounting groove 11. Simultaneously, the lock body 1 and the handle assembly 2 can be made of metal materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc., or they can be made of wear-resistant and insulating materials. These wear-resistant and insulating materials can be engineering plastics, plastics, or other polymer materials.

[0075] With this design, by making the lock body 1 of a wear-resistant and insulating material, compared to metal, during prolonged use, if an improper operation causes an impact, the insulating debris falling off the wear-resistant insulating material will not affect the normal operation of the server. However, if it were made of metal, the debris falling off would easily be sucked into the server's interior by the heat dissipation circulation within the server rack, potentially causing a short circuit in the server's motherboard circuitry.

[0076] Furthermore, in this embodiment of the invention, the wear-resistant insulating material can be selected from engineering plastics or plastics. Specifically, engineering plastics have excellent comprehensive properties, high rigidity, low creep, high mechanical strength, good heat resistance, and good electrical insulation. They can be used for a long time in harsh chemical and physical environments and can replace metals as engineering structural materials. Furthermore, the main component of plastic raw materials is carbon-containing compounds. Plastics are mainly composed of high-molecular synthetic resins and have good electrical, thermal, and acoustic insulation properties, excellent arc resistance, and superior performance in heat insulation, sound insulation, sound absorption, vibration absorption, and noise reduction.

[0077] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the handle assembly 2 includes a handle 21 and a rotating shaft 22. Specifically, the handle 21 is disposed in the mounting groove 11, and the rotating shaft 22 is disposed at the first end of the handle 21. At the same time, a rotating hole is provided on the lock body 1 corresponding to the position of the rotating shaft 22, and the rotating shaft 22 is inserted into the rotating hole, so that the handle 21 is rotatably connected to the lock body 1.

[0078] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention, by providing a handle 21 and a pivot 22, allows the handle 21 to be removed from the mounting slot 11 during use and to be stored back in the mounting slot 11 after use or when not in use. This prevents technicians from accidentally touching the handle assembly 2 during server maintenance, ensuring the memory or tray remains operational. Furthermore, when the server is unattended, the locking mechanism 4 can be directly operated to the locked position, improving the overall security of the server.

[0079] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first fixing member 5 is a protrusion, and the second fixing member 6 is a groove suitable for the protrusion to be inserted. When the movable key assembly 3 is in the first position, the protrusion is inserted into the groove, so that the handle 21 is maintained in the first state. When the movable key assembly 3 is in the second position, the protrusion disengages from the groove, so that the handle 21 disengages from the mounting slot 11.

[0080] With this configuration, the embodiments of the present invention simplify the overall structure of the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 by setting protrusions and grooves, thereby reducing the mold-making costs and production costs to a certain extent. At the same time, the grooves and protrusions facilitate the engagement of the handle 21 with the movable key assembly 3, which significantly simplifies the operation process compared to other types of fixing members, making it easier for technicians to use and improving work efficiency.

[0081] Furthermore, to facilitate the operation of the handle 21 by technicians, a torsion spring can be fitted onto the rotating shaft 22, with the first and second ends of the torsion spring fixed to the handle 21 and the lock body 1, respectively. In this way, when the technician engages the handle 21 into the mounting groove 11, the torsion spring rotates and stores energy. When the technician moves the movable key group 3 to the second position, the protrusion disengages from the groove, and the handle 21 automatically disengages from the mounting groove 11 under the elastic action of the torsion spring, thus eliminating the need for the technician to manually open the handle 21. This further simplifies the operation process, facilitates use by technicians, and improves work efficiency.

[0082] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the movable key assembly 3 includes a key body 31 and a reset member 32. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the key body 31 is movably disposed on the lock body 1, and the key body 31 has a second fixing member 6 disposed on one side near the second end of the handle assembly 2. One end of the reset member 32 is disposed on the lock body 1, and the other end of the reset member 32 is connected to the key body 31.

[0083] When the key body 31 is moved under the action of an external force, the key body 31 has a first position close to the second end of the handle assembly 2 and a second position away from the second end of the handle assembly 2.

[0084] Specifically, during use, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the key body 31 is in the first position, the reset member 32 is in an extended state, the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 cooperate to fix it, and the handle assembly 2 is in the first state of being embedded in the mounting groove 11. At this time, the handle assembly 2 cannot be opened.

[0085] As the key body 31 gradually moves to the second position, as Figure 5 As shown, the reset member 32 is in a compressed state, the first fixing member 5 is separated from the second fixing member 6. Since the handle assembly 2 is not fixed, the technician can manually or automatically eject the handle assembly 2 from the mounting slot 11 by means of a torsion spring, that is, the handle assembly 2 is in the second state of being detached from the mounting slot 11.

[0086] When the external force that moves the key body 31 disappears, the key body 31 moves from the second position to the first position under the action of the reset member 32.

[0087] When a technician operates the handle assembly 2 under external force, causing the handle assembly 2 to rotate and re-embed into the mounting groove 11, the first fixing member 5 and the second fixing member 6 cooperate with each other to fix it.

[0088] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention sets the active key group 3 as a key body 31 and a reset component 32. During use, only the key body 31 needs to be operated to open the handle assembly 2. When retracting the handle assembly 2, there is no need for technicians to return the key body 31 to its original position. Technicians only need to release the key body 31, and it will automatically return to its original position under the action of the reset component 32. Compared with not setting the reset component 32, this significantly simplifies the operation process, makes it easier for technicians to use, and improves work efficiency. At the same time, compared with other return devices, the reset component 32 has a simpler structure, is easy to install, and is convenient for replacement and maintenance.

[0089] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the reset element 32 can be a reset spring. Of course, this embodiment is merely an example illustrating the type of reset element 32, and is not intended to limit its application. Those skilled in the art can modify it according to actual circumstances, as long as the same technical effect is achieved.

[0090] Furthermore, in an optional embodiment, the key body 31 has a through hole, and the lock body 1 has a through hole along the movement stroke of the key body 31, with the through hole corresponding to the through hole. That is, the area of ​​the through hole is larger than that of the through hole, and when the key body 31 moves on the lock body 1, the through hole coincides with the through hole.

[0091] Furthermore, after the locking mechanism 4 is sequentially inserted into the through hole and the through hole, it extends into the interior of the lock body 1. In actual operation, the locking mechanism 4 has a locked position that abuts against the interior of the lock body 1 and an unlocked position that is separated from the interior of the lock body 1.

[0092] With this configuration, the embodiment of the present invention integrates the key body 31 and the locking mechanism 4 together, reducing the overall size of the security lock. Simultaneously, it effectively utilizes the empty space inside the lock body 1, and can be applied to extremely small structural spaces, improving the space utilization rate of the lock body 1. Furthermore, there is no need to set up an additional fixing mechanism on the outside of the lock body 1 for securing it, thereby further reducing the overall size of the security lock and not occupying additional space in the server.

[0093] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking mechanism 4 includes a locking member 41 and a locking head 42. Specifically, in this embodiment of the invention, the locking member 41 has a columnar structure, and after being inserted into the through hole and the through hole in sequence, the locking member 41 extends into the interior of the lock body 1. The locking head 42 is disposed at one end of the locking member 41 that extends into the interior of the lock body 1.

[0094] Under the action of external force, when the locking member 41 rotates, it drives the locking head 42 to rotate, causing the locking head 42 to either abut against or separate from the interior of the lock body 1. When the locking head 42 abuts against the interior of the lock body 1, the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked position. When the locking head 42 separates from the interior of the lock body 1, the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked position.

[0095] With this configuration, the locking mechanism 4 in this embodiment of the invention, consisting of a locking element 41 and a locking head 42, significantly simplifies the structural composition and reduces production costs compared to a typical lock cylinder. Furthermore, it facilitates maintenance and replacement by technicians during use, improving work efficiency.

[0096] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 8 As shown, the locking member 41 has an arc-shaped protrusion 43 on its outer periphery, the arc-shaped protrusion 43 extending along the outer periphery of the locking member 41, and the ends of the arc-shaped protrusion 43 are the first contact portion and the second contact portion. A stop rib is provided inside the lock body 1.

[0097] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked position, the first contact portion contacts the first end face of the stop rib, and the locking mechanism 4 cannot continue to rotate. This prevents technicians from excessively manipulating the locking mechanism 4, ensuring its normal operation. Figure 7 As shown, when the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked position, the second contact part contacts the second end face of the stop rib. The second end face and the first end face are the two end faces opposite to the stop rib. The locking mechanism 4 cannot continue to rotate. In this way, the technician will not over-operate the locking mechanism 4, ensuring that the locking mechanism 4 can operate normally.

[0098] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a stop member 12 is provided inside the lock body 1. When the locking head 42 abuts against the stop member 12, the locking mechanism 4 is in the locked position. When the locking head 42 separates from the stop member 12, the locking mechanism 4 is in the unlocked position. The stop member 12 is a separate stop wall provided inside the lock body 1. The position of the stop wall is exactly within the travel range of the key body 31 during unlocking, thus preventing the key body 31 from moving.

[0099] Furthermore, in an alternative implementation, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking member 41 has a flat operating part on its end face near the outside.

[0100] With this configuration, this embodiment of the invention, by incorporating a flat-mouth operating part, allows technicians to directly operate the part using a dedicated flat-mouth tool. By aligning the tool with the operating part and rotating it, locking and unlocking can be achieved. Using a dedicated flat-mouth tool can, to some extent, prevent theft and improve the security of the server during use.

[0101] In a second aspect, the present invention also provides a server comprising: a storage component, and a security lock as described in any of the preceding embodiments, the security lock being disposed on the storage component.

[0102] Furthermore, the safety lock and storage component can be either fixedly connected or detachably connected. For fixed connections, welding, bonding, or other methods can be used. For detachable connections, screws, clips, or magnetic attraction can be used for fixation.

[0103] The following are examples illustrating detachable connection methods. For instance, additional fixing plates can be installed around the edges of the storage component. Those skilled in the art can vary the number of fixing plates (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) according to actual needs. Screw holes are then made on the fixing plates, and another screw hole is made on the safety lock at the corresponding position. Screws are then passed through the screw holes on the fixing plates and the screw holes on the safety lock in sequence to connect the storage component to the safety lock. Furthermore, when using a snap-fit ​​and slot method for fixation, additional snap-fits can be installed around the edges of the storage component. Those skilled in the art can vary the number of snap-fits (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) according to actual needs. Slots that cooperate with the snap-fits are then made on the safety lock at the corresponding positions. The snap-fits on the storage component are then directly embedded into the slots on the safety lock, thereby connecting the storage component to the safety lock. When fixing by magnetic attraction, additional magnetic sheets can be set around the edges of the storage component. Those skilled in the art can change the number of magnetic sheets according to the actual situation, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Then, a magnetic sheet of the opposite polarity that can attract the magnetic sheet is made on the safety lock at the position corresponding to the magnetic sheet. Then, the magnetic sheet on the storage component is directly aligned with the magnetic sheet of the opposite polarity embedded on the safety lock, thereby magnetically connecting the storage component and the safety lock.

[0104] Of course, this embodiment is merely an example of fixed connection and detachable connection, but it does not limit the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes according to the actual situation to achieve the same technical effect.

[0105] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
