DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0033] See also Figures 1 to 12 , a device for stabilizing and plugging interfaces of edge computing servers, comprising a server body 1, an interface 2 being fixedly connected to the server body 1, a joint 3 being provided on one side of the server body 1, a transverse groove 6 being provided on one side of the upper end of the interface 2, a limiting rod 7 being fixedly connected inside the transverse groove 6, one end of the limiting rod 7 being sleeved with a transverse slider 8 slidably connected to the transverse groove 6, an end of the limiting rod 7 being sleeved with a transverse elastic member 10 away from the transverse slider 8, a positioning block 9 being fixedly connected to the bottom of the transverse slider 8, a wedge block 5 being fixedly connected to the top of the joint 3, the wedge block 5 matching the positioning block 9, and an extrusion component being slidably connected to the middle position of the upper end of the interface 2.

[0034] The interface stable plug-in and pull-out device for edge computing servers in the present invention, when the connector 3 is connected to the interface 2, it is only necessary to directly insert the connector 3 into the interface 2. During the process of inserting the connector 3 into the interface 2, the wedge block 5 will push the positioning block 9 away. After the connector 3 is fully inserted into the interface 2, the wedge block 5 will pass over the positioning block 9. At this time, the positioning block 9 returns to its original position under the action of the transverse elastic member 10 (that is, the positioning block 9 moves in the direction of the wedge block 5), thereby restricting the wedge block 5, making it difficult for the wedge block 5 to move away from the interface 2, so that the connector 3 is not easy to detach from the interface 2 by itself, making the connector 3 and the interface 2 more stable when connected. When the connector 3 needs to be pulled out from the interface 2, it is only necessary to push the extrusion component to push the positioning block 9 away from the wedge block through the extrusion component. 5, so that the positioning block 9 and the wedge block 5 are offset, and then the connector 3 can be directly pulled out from the interface 2. The whole operation process is relatively simple and convenient, and the wedge block 5 fixed on the connector 3 has an indicating function. When the operator inserts the connector 3 into the interface 2, he only needs to point the wedge block 5 of the connector 3 toward the extrusion assembly to align the connector 3 with the interface 2. At the same time, the interface 2 and the connector 3 are respectively the more common USB interface and USB connector. Since they are existing mature products, they are not elaborated in detail here. In addition, the structure of the server body 1 in the present invention is similar to the prior art, and a line-assisted positioning interface structure for a network server is disclosed in the patent with patent authorization announcement number CN219458159U, so no excessive elaboration is made here.

[0035] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the extrusion assembly includes an extrusion block 13, a longitudinal slider 14, an insertion rod 15, a longitudinal elastic member 16 and a push rod 17. A longitudinal slide groove 11 is provided in the middle position of the upper end of the interface 2. The longitudinal slider 14 is slidably connected to the longitudinal slide groove 11. A socket 12 is provided at the end of the longitudinal slide groove 11 away from the joint 3. The insertion rod 15 is slidably connected to the socket 12. The insertion rod 15 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slider 14. The bottom of the longitudinal slider 14 is fixedly connected to the extrusion block 13. The end of the longitudinal slider 14 away from the insertion rod 15 is fixedly connected to the push rod 17. The longitudinal elastic member 16 is sleeved on the outside of the insertion rod 15. One end of the longitudinal elastic member 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the longitudinal slide groove 11, and the other end of the longitudinal elastic member 16 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal slider 14.

[0036] Specifically, when the connector 3 needs to be pulled out from the interface 2, it is only necessary to push the longitudinal slider 14 in the direction of the interface 2 through the push rod 17, and the longitudinal slider 14 drives the extrusion block 13 to move in the direction of the positioning block 9, and the extrusion block 13 is close to the inner side of the interface 2. The end of the extrusion block 13 is conical, and the extrusion block 13 will squeeze and push the positioning block 9, so that the positioning block 9 moves in the direction away from the wedge block 5, so that the positioning block 9 and the wedge block 5 are staggered, and then the connector 3 is pulled out in the direction away from the interface 2. After the connector 3 is pulled out, the longitudinal elastic member 16 will push the longitudinal slider 14 again, and the extrusion block 13 is driven back to its original position through the longitudinal slider 14, which is convenient for the next use. At the same time, the insertion rod 15 plays a role of positioning restriction, so that the longitudinal slider 14 and the extrusion block 13 are more stable when moving.

[0037] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a connecting groove 18 is provided at one end of the push rod 17 away from the longitudinal slider 14, and a connecting slider 20 is slidably connected inside the connecting groove 18. A connecting block 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting slider 20, and a rotating shaft 24 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the connecting block 23. A dust cover 25 is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft 24, and the dust cover 25 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 24.

[0038] Specifically, when the connector 3 is not connected to the interface 2 , the dust cover 25 will shield and protect the interface 2 to prevent dust from entering the interface 2 of the server body 1 when the interface 2 is not in use, thereby preventing poor contact between the connector 3 and the interface 2 .

[0039] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a receiving groove 19 is provided at the end of the connecting slide groove 18, and a positioning column 21 slidably connected to the connecting slider 20 is provided inside the push rod 17, one end of the positioning column 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting slide groove 18, and the other end of the positioning column 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the receiving groove 19, and a reset elastic member 22 is sleeved on the end of the positioning column 21 close to the longitudinal slider 14, one end of the reset elastic member 22 is fixedly connected to the end of the receiving groove 19, and the other end of the reset elastic member 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting slider 20.

[0040] Specifically, when the operator pushes the push rod 17 in the direction of the server body 1 to facilitate the extraction of the connector 3, the connecting slider 20 will slide in the connecting slide groove 18 and will not affect the movement of the push rod 17. When the operator releases the push rod 17 and allows the push rod 17 to return to its original position under the push of the longitudinal elastic member 16, the reset elastic member 22 will pull the connecting slider 20 back to its original position, so that the dust cover 25 can fit more closely with the end of the interface 2, thereby making the dustproof effect of the dust cover 25 better.

[0041] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, both ends of the connecting block 23 are fixedly connected with positioning plates 28, both ends of the connecting block 23 are provided with torsion springs 27 sleeved on the rotating shaft 24, and both ends of the connecting block 23 are provided with positioning frames 29 fixed to the rotating shaft 24. One end of the torsion spring 27 is against the side of the positioning plate 28 close to the rotating shaft 24, and the other end of the torsion spring 27 is against the inner wall of the positioning frame 29.

[0042] Specifically, after the connector 3 is detached from the interface 2, the torsion spring 27 will push the positioning frame 29 to rotate around the shaft 24, and the positioning frame 29 will drive the shaft 24 to rotate, and the shaft 24 will drive the dust cover 25 to rotate, thereby allowing the dust cover 25 to cover the end of the interface 2, thereby playing a dust-proof role.

[0043] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a toggle block 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the dust cover 25 away from the connecting slider 20 .

[0044] Generally speaking, when the connector 3 needs to be inserted into the interface 2, the operator only needs to place one finger of the hand holding the connector 3 under the toggle block 26 and push the toggle block 26 to rotate the dust cover 25 around the shaft 24 to expose the interface 2. Then the connector 3 can be inserted into the interface 2. The insertion process is simple, convenient and easy to operate.

[0045] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an elastic pad 30 is fixedly connected to a surface of the dust cover 25 close to the interface 2 .

[0046] Specifically, the elastic pad 30 has better deformation and buffering capabilities, which can not only make the dust cover 25 fit more closely with the end of the interface 2, but also prevent the dust cover 25 from impacting the interface 2 when closing itself, causing damage to the interface 2.

[0047] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an elastic sealing block 4 is fixedly connected to the top side of the connector 3 away from the server body 1 , the width of the elastic sealing block 4 is the same as the width of the interface 2 , and the thickness of the elastic sealing block 4 is the same as the thickness of the wedge block 5 .

[0048] Specifically, the gap between the top of the connector 3 and the interface 2 is sealed by the elastic sealing block 4 to prevent dust from entering the interface 2 when the connector 3 and the interface 2 are connected, thereby preventing the interface 2 from short-circuiting or causing other faults.

[0049] While the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that many changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention.
