A plurality of rope wheels 24 are installed at the bottom of the installation plate 21, corresponding to the plurality of positioning blocks 22 one by one. The tip of each pressing block 224 is connected with a pulling rope 241. One end of each pulling rope 241 away from the pressing block 224 passes through the corresponding threading hole 223 and the rope wheel 24 and is connected to the main shaft 23.

[0027] A moving plate 25 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the installation plate 21. The moving plate 25 is slidably connected through the main shaft 23. A limiting strip 251 is arranged on a section of the main shaft 23. A limiting groove 252 is opened on the moving plate 25. The limiting groove 252 on the moving plate 25 is slidably connected with the limiting strip 251. Two symmetrical rotating grooves 26 are opened on the back panel 2. A support leg 261 is rotationally connected to each of the two rotating grooves 26 through a pin shaft. The two ends of the moving plate 25 are rotationally connected to a connecting rod 262 through a pin shaft. One end of each of the two connecting rods 262 away from the moving plate 25 is rotationally connected to the two support legs 261 through a pin shaft.

[0028] In this embodiment, the dustproof unit includes an arc-shaped protective plate 31, an arc-shaped connecting groove 3 is provided on the rear side of the box body 1, the protective plate 31 is installed on the back plate 2 and the mounting plate 21 and the position corresponds to the connecting groove 3, an interface groove 32 is provided on the protective plate 31, a cavity 321 is provided in the protective plate 31, a slide plate 322 is slidably connected in the cavity 321, and a slide groove 323 is provided on each side of the protective plate 31 located on the interface groove 32 to communicate with the cavity 321, and a slide is slidably connected in the two slide grooves 323 Rod 324, the inner ends of the two sliding rods 324 are connected to the slide plate 322, the protection plate 31 is located at the interface groove 32 and has multiple protection grooves 325 that are connected to the cavity 321, each of the protection grooves 325 is slidably connected with an elastic telescopic plate 326, one end of each of the elastic telescopic plates 326 is connected to the slide plate 322, and one end of each of the elastic telescopic plates 326 away from the slide plate 322 is connected with a U-shaped airbag 327, and the width and length of the airbag 327 on each elastic telescopic plate 326 can be replaced according to the size of the corresponding interface.

[0029] In this embodiment, the outer ends of the two sliding rods 324 are made of magnetic material, and the connecting groove 3 of the box body 1 is made of iron material. When the back panel 2 closes the protective plate 31 and enters the connecting groove 3, the sliding rod 324 located in the sliding groove 323 will slide toward the outside of the sliding groove 323 due to the magnetic attraction force.

[0030] Working principle: When the present invention is in use, the back plate 2 is opened. During the rotation of the back plate 2, the main shaft 23 rotates through the meshing of the bevel gears. The movable plate 25 is affected by the rotation of the main shaft 23 and will slide along the limiting guide direction of the limiting strip 251, thereby pushing the support leg 261 to slide through the connecting rod 262. When the back plate 2 rotates 90°, the support leg 261 will open outwards under the push of the connecting rod 262 and be vertically distributed with the back plate 2. The two support legs 261 will play a bearing and supporting role for the back plate 2. At this time, the mounting plate 21 is horizontally placed on the outside of the chassis to facilitate the installation of the server. When installing the server, only the original screw holes of the server need to be replaced. The corresponding positioning blocks 22 are placed, and multiple positioning blocks 22 will limit the server. Then the back panel 2 can be pushed back to close the box body 1. In this process, the main shaft 23 reverses to wind the pull rope 241, and the pressure block 224 on the positioning block 22 is pulled down to squeeze the spring pieces 222 around. After the spring pieces 222 are compressed, they expand to the surroundings and press against the server board surface around the screw holes, so that the server is stably fixed on the mounting plate 21. When maintenance and replacement are needed, the back panel 2 is opened to become a horizontal surface, and the three sides of the back panel 2 are unobstructed for convenient operation and maintenance. At the same time, the pull rope 241 is in a relaxed state, and the spring pieces 222 are retracted, so the server can be quickly disassembled and replaced.

[0031] When the server is assembled, the external socket area of ​​the server is just in the connection slot 3 of the protection plate 31. When various plugs are plugged in, they are inserted into a row of sockets away from the protection slot 325. After the back plate 2 is closed, the slide bar 324 is affected by the magnetic force and will pull the slide plate 322 to push the elastic expansion plate 326 in each protection slot 325 to slide outward. When the elastic expansion plate 326 is extended, on the one hand, it covers and blocks the interface to which the plug is not connected to prevent dust from entering the interface. At the same time, the airbag 327 will first contact the plugged in plug to wrap both sides of it. The part of the airbag 327 close to the elastic expansion plate 326 is squeezed, so that the two ends of the airbag 327 are inflated to improve the wrapping of the plug, which has the effect of improving the plugging stability and preventing the plug from loosening and falling.

[0032] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the above disclosed embodiments are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
