Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server rack technology, and in particular to a server rack. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks are standardized racks used in data centers, server rooms, or network operations centers to install servers, network equipment, storage devices, and other related equipment.

[0003] In related technologies, server racks often need to deploy more servers within a limited space to meet high-density computing demands. Currently, during server installation and maintenance, due to the overall weight of servers, their positions cannot be flexibly adjusted relative to the rack. This often requires operators to manually move these devices, which not only puts additional physical strain on the operators but also poses certain risks during transport. For example, the difficulty in controlling the weight may lead to collisions between devices or accidental drops, both of which could damage the servers.

[0004] Therefore, how to conveniently and reliably adjust the position of servers within a server rack is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to consider. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a server rack that solves the problem of inconvenient server installation and maintenance caused by the inability to flexibly and reliably adjust the position of servers within the server rack.

[0030] The movable seat is provided with a guide groove, and the movable plate is provided with a guide rail. The guide groove and the guide rail are slidably engaged to guide the movement of the movable seat.

[0031] In other aspects, the connecting frame is connected to the movable plate via a connecting block, the connecting block having a threaded hole, and the screw engaging with the threaded hole.

[0032] In other aspects, the number of the plug-in locking devices is two, and the two plug-in locking devices are disposed opposite each other on the bottom surface of the movable plate, and the connecting shafts of the two plug-in locking devices are connected by a transmission belt;

[0034] In other aspects, the cabinet includes an outer shell and a supporting frame, the supporting frame being fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell;

[0035] The number of the movement control devices is two, and the two movement control devices are respectively located inside the two sides of the support frame along the third direction to control the movement of the movement component relative to the mounting component. The third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0036] The movement control device includes:

[0037] A sliding rod and a threaded rod are provided parallel to each other on both sides of the support frame along the second direction. Both the sliding rod and the threaded rod extend along the first direction. The sliding rod is fixed to the support frame, and the threaded rod is rotatably connected to the support frame.

[0038] A slider, which slides in conjunction with the slide rod, is used to slide relative to the slide rod along the first direction;

[0039] A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the threaded rod and is used to slide along the axial direction of the threaded rod under the rotation of the threaded rod.

[0040] A connecting rod is connected between the slider and the screw sleeve, and the connecting rod extends along the second direction;

[0041] A support component, mounted on the connecting rod, is used to support the cover so as to drive the moving component to move;

[0042] A drive assembly, installed at the rotating end of the threaded rod, is used to drive the threaded rod to rotate relative to the support frame;

[0043] The support component includes:

[0044] A connecting seat is provided on the connecting rod;

[0045] A bracket, rotatably connected inside the connecting seat, is used to rotate relative to the connecting seat along an axis in the second direction;

[0046] An elastic element is provided, with its two ends connected to the bracket and the connecting seat, respectively. The elastic element is used to provide an elastic force to the bracket so that the bracket tends to rotate back into the connecting seat.

[0047] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the server rack provided in this application embodiment includes a rack body, a movable component, a movable control device, and a plug-in locking device. The rack body has a mounting component with first holes spaced apart sequentially along a first direction. The movable component is movably connected to the mounting component and is used to place the server and move it relative to the mounting component along the first direction. The movable component has a second hole. The movable control device is located inside the rack body and is used to control the movement of the movable component relative to the mounting component. The plug-in locking device is located on the movable component and includes a plug-in control component and a pin. The plug-in control component controls the pin to insert into the second hole and the corresponding first hole along a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to lock the movable component.

[0048] In this way, when maintaining the server inside the cabinet, the moving component is moved relative to the mounting component by the moving control device, so that the server to be maintained can be flexibly adjusted in position relative to the cabinet. After the position of the server to be maintained is adjusted, the plug-in control component is used to control the pin to insert into the second hole and the corresponding first hole to lock the moving component, thereby facilitating the operator to maintain the server.

[0049] The advantages of this server rack design primarily include: when the position of the servers within the rack needs to be adjusted, the movement control device moves the moving components relative to the mounting components, allowing for flexible repositioning of the servers relative to the rack. The moving components allow the servers to be maintained to move along the mounting components, providing flexibility in server repositioning within the rack. Simultaneously, the integrated movement control device allows operators to easily control server movement, avoiding manual handling and improving maintenance efficiency. Furthermore, after the server is moved to the designated location, the locking device ensures that the server is securely locked, preventing accidental movement. This facilitates maintenance work for the server and solves the problem of inconvenient server installation and maintenance caused by the inability to flexibly and reliably adjust the position of servers within the rack.

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0067] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0068] It should be noted that the directional terms such as "upper end," "lower end," "left side," and "right side" mentioned below are defined based on the accompanying drawings in the instruction manual.

[0069] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server rack provided in this application embodiment includes a cabinet 10, a moving component 30, a moving control device 40, and a plug-in locking device 50.

[0070] The cabinet 10 includes an outer shell 12 and a supporting frame 13. The supporting frame 13 is fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell 12. The supporting frame 13 is used to support the entire structure of the outer shell 12 to ensure the overall stability of the cabinet 10.

[0071] The cabinet 10 is provided with a mounting assembly 20, which includes a plurality of mounting strips 21, each mounting strip 21 having first holes 211 arranged sequentially at intervals along a first direction. This first direction can be as follows: Figure 2 The Z-axis direction is shown.

[0072] The movable component 30 is movably connected to the mounting component 20. The movable component 30 is used to place the server and move the server relative to the mounting component 20 in a first direction. The movable component 30 is provided with a second hole 311.

[0073] A movement control device 40 is located inside the cabinet 10 and is used to control the movement of the moving component 30 relative to the mounting component 20. In this way, by controlling the movement of the moving component 30 relative to the mounting component 20 through the movement control device 40, as the moving component 30 moves along the first direction, the server on the moving component 30 can adjust its position within the cabinet 10.

[0074] The insertion locking device 50 is provided on the moving component 30. The insertion locking device 50 includes an insertion control component 51 and a pin 52. The insertion control component 51 is used to control the pin 52 to insert into the second hole 311 and the corresponding first hole 211 in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction to lock the moving component 30.

[0075] The second direction can be as follows: Figure 2 The X-axis direction is shown.

[0076] When the movable component 30 moves to the designated position, the pin 52 is moved by controlling the pin 52 to insert into the second hole 311 and the corresponding first hole 211, locking the movable component 30 in the designated position on the mounting component 20, thereby ensuring that the movable component 30 and the server on it are accurately locked in the position to be adjusted.

[0077] In this way, when maintaining the server inside the cabinet 10, the moving component 30 is moved relative to the mounting component 20 by the moving control device 40, so that the server to be maintained can be flexibly adjusted in position relative to the cabinet 10. After the position of the server to be maintained is adjusted, the plug-in control component 51 controls the pin 52 to be inserted into the second hole 311 and the corresponding first hole 211 to lock the moving component 30, thereby facilitating the operator to maintain the server.

[0078] Due to the large weight of the servers, the current installation and maintenance of servers inside the server racks requires manual handling to adjust their positions within the rack. This not only increases the physical burden on the operators but may also lead to accidents during handling, such as collisions or drops, which could damage the servers.

[0079] In contrast, when using the server rack provided in this application, if the position of the server inside the rack 10 needs to be adjusted, the movement component 30 is moved relative to the mounting component 20 by the movement control device 40, allowing the server to be flexibly adjusted relative to the rack 10. The movement component 30 allows the server to be maintained to move along the mounting component 20, providing flexibility in adjusting the position of the server inside the rack 10. At the same time, the integrated setting of the movement control device 40 allows operators to easily control the movement of the server, avoiding manual handling and improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, after the server is moved to the designated position, the locking device 50 can ensure that the server in the designated position is firmly locked to prevent the server from moving accidentally. This makes it convenient for operators to perform maintenance work on the server and solves the problem of inconvenient server installation and maintenance caused by the inability to flexibly and reliably adjust the position of the server inside the rack.

[0080] To address the technical issues of poor heat dissipation and high energy consumption in server racks, the rack 10 is equipped with ventilation openings. These openings allow cool air from outside the rack to enter and dissipate heat from the rack's components. The server rack also includes a ventilation device 60 located on the ventilation openings. The ventilation device 60 controls the opening and closing of the ventilation openings and adjusts the opening degree according to actual heat dissipation needs.

[0081] Please refer to the following: Figure 3The ventilation device 60 includes a fixed plate 61, a fixed shaft 62, a sealing plate 63, and a telescopic drive member 64. There are two fixed plates 61, which are fixed to the inner walls of the cabinet 10 on both sides of the ventilation opening. The two fixed plates 61 are symmetrically distributed along the vertical center line of the sealing plate 63. The fixed shaft 62 connects the two fixed plates 61 and is used to connect the two fixed plates 61. The sealing plate 63 is movably disposed between the two fixed plates 61 and is used to move along a first direction to open and close the ventilation opening. One end of the telescopic drive member 64 is hinged to the sealing plate 63, and the other end is hinged to the fixed shaft 62. The telescopic drive member 64 drives the sealing plate 63 to move relative to the two fixed plates 61 along the first direction to open the ventilation opening when the temperature inside the cabinet 10 reaches a threshold.

[0082] Specifically, the ventilation opening is adjusted by moving the sealing plate 63 to regulate the temperature inside the cabinet 10. The positions of the two fixed plates 61 determine the track or space for the movement of the sealing plate 63 to ensure the range of movement of the sealing plate 63. The telescopic drive member 64 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder, or an electric push rod. One end of the drive member 64 is hinged to the sealing plate 63, and the other end is hinged to the fixed shaft 62 to drive the sealing plate 63 to move in the first direction. The fixed shaft 62 serves as a fixed point of this device. One end of the telescopic drive member 64 is hinged to the fixed shaft 62 to provide the force required to move the sealing plate 63.

[0083] In addition, at least one temperature sensor can be installed inside the server rack to monitor the temperature inside the rack 10.

[0084] In this way, through the cooperation of the temperature sensor and the telescopic drive component 64, automated temperature control can be achieved, improving energy efficiency and ease of operation. The telescopic drive component 64 can precisely control the position of the sealing plate 63, thereby precisely adjusting the opening of the vents to adapt to different ventilation needs. For example, when the temperature inside the cabinet 10 is too high, the vents can be opened automatically, which can effectively dissipate heat and reduce the increase in energy consumption caused by overheating.

[0085] This setup, by maintaining a suitable temperature, can prevent the equipment inside the cabinet from being damaged by overheating, extending the service life of the equipment. At the same time, automated control reduces the need for manual monitoring and intervention, lowering maintenance costs.

[0086] To facilitate the movement of the sealing plate 63, both fixed plates 61 are provided with moving grooves 611. A moving rod 65 is connected to the back of the sealing plate 63, and both ends of the moving rod 65 are movably disposed in the two moving grooves 611. One end of the telescopic drive member 64 is hinged to the moving rod 65, and the other end is hinged to the fixed shaft 62.

[0087] In this way, when the internal temperature of the cabinet is too high, the telescopic drive component 64 retracts, pulling the moving rod 65 upward. Then, the moving rod 65 drives the sealing plate 63 upward, opening the ventilation opening.

[0088] Furthermore, the moving slot 611 is bent, and the sealing plate 63 is configured to be offset from the cabinet 10 during the movement of the moving rod 65, so that external cold air can enter the interior of the cabinet 10 from both sides of the sealing plate 63.

[0089] In some embodiments, the movable groove 611 may be a Z-shaped groove. The movable groove 611 includes a first groove, a second groove, and a third groove, which are connected sequentially from bottom to top. The two ends of the second groove are connected to the first groove and the third groove, respectively. The second groove is inclined to the first groove or the third groove. The first groove and the third groove both extend along a first direction, and the first groove and the third groove are not on the same plane. They are offset from each other in the plane where the fixed plate 61 is located.

[0090] With this configuration, the sliding rod 65 slides inside the sliding slot 611 to guide the movement of the sealing plate 63. When the sliding rod 65 moves from the first slot to the second slot, the sealing plate 63 moves upward to open the ventilation opening, and at the same time, it flips outward at a preset angle relative to the cabinet 10. This causes the sealing plate 63 to be offset from the cabinet 10 by a certain space during the movement. This action quickly increases the opening area on the side of the cabinet, allowing cold air from the outside to enter the cabinet at a higher flow rate and exchange with the hot air inside, effectively reducing the cabinet temperature.

[0091] Understandably, according to the above configuration, external cold air can enter the interior of the cabinet through the air intake area. The area of ​​this air intake area, in addition to the front air intake area opened by the upward movement of the sealing plate 63, also includes at least the side air intake area where the sealing plate 63 is offset from the cabinet 10 after being flipped outward at a preset angle relative to the cabinet 10.

[0092] In some embodiments, the server rack further includes a control module 70, which is communicatively connected to the telescopic drive component 64. The control module 70 is used to calculate the air volume required through the ventilation opening when the temperature value inside the rack is higher than a set threshold based on the air pressure value and temperature value inside the rack, and to determine the target position to which the sealing plate 63 needs to reach based on the air volume. It is also used to transmit control commands to the telescopic drive component 64 based on the target position to control the telescopic drive component 64 to perform a retraction action.

[0093] In some embodiments, the server rack further includes a detection module, which is integrated into and communicatively connected to the control module 70. The detection module is used to detect air pressure and temperature values. The detection module includes an air pressure detection unit and a temperature detection unit. The air pressure detection unit is used to detect the air pressure inside the rack 10, and the temperature detection unit is used to detect the temperature inside the rack 10.

[0094] By connecting the control module 70 to the server inside the device and to an external network, remote control of the cabinet is possible. The control module 70 integrates a high-precision air pressure detection unit, a temperature detection unit, and an intelligent algorithm. When the internal temperature T of the cabinet rises to a set threshold, the control module 70 responds quickly, sending a command to the telescopic drive component 64 to drive it to retract. The control module 70 automatically controls the movement of the sealing plate 63 according to the following algorithm:

[0095] P_in(LWH) = n(RT)

[0096] n=V / V m

[0097] Where P_in is the air pressure inside the rack, L, W, and H are the length, width, and height of the rack, respectively, and n is the amount of substance (V is the gas volume, V m (where R is the standard gas molar volume), R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature inside the cabinet.

[0098] It should be noted that airflow refers to the volume of air passing through a certain cross-section per unit time. If the area of ​​the ventilation opening increases, the airflow will also increase accordingly. In this embodiment, the control module 70 monitors the air pressure value P_in and the temperature value T inside the cabinet. When the temperature value T inside the cabinet is higher than a certain set threshold, in order to control the temperature inside the cabinet to be lower than this threshold, the control module 70 calculates the required airflow, i.e., the gas volume V, according to the above algorithm. The airflow or gas volume V is related to the opening and closing size of the sealing plate 63, and the two are directly proportional. Therefore, the control module 70 can calculate the specific opening and closing size A_open of the sealing plate 63 based on this proportional relationship, and sets a certain time delay during implementation to ensure that the actual temperature inside the cabinet reaches the requirement.

[0099] In this way, when the temperature inside the cabinet is higher than the set threshold, the control module 70 can calculate the air volume required through the ventilation opening when the temperature is lower than the set threshold based on the air pressure and temperature inside the cabinet, and determine the target position that the sealing plate 63 needs to reach based on the air volume. It can also send control commands to the telescopic drive 64 based on the target position to control the telescopic drive 64 to retract, so that the specific size of the opening and closing of the sealing plate 63 meets the air volume required through the ventilation opening when the temperature is lower than the set threshold.

[0100] Specifically, when the temperature inside the cabinet exceeds a set threshold, the control module 70 adjusts the position of the sealing plate 63 according to A_open, then controls the telescopic drive component 64 to retract. The telescopic drive component 64 pulls the moving rod 65 upward, which in turn moves the sealing plate 63 upward, allowing air to enter the cabinet 10 from both sides. Under the same environmental conditions (e.g., room temperature 25°C, outside wind speed 2m / s), without the automatic ventilation system activated, the internal temperature of the cabinet may remain around 50°C; however, with the system activated and the sealing plate 63 opened, the internal temperature of the cabinet can rapidly drop to below 40°C within minutes. The air convection speed is increased by about 30%-50% compared to when it is not turned on. The specific increase depends on the size of the opening area of ​​the cover plate 63 and the external wind speed conditions, which enhances the ventilation effect of the cabinet. At the same time, the control module 70 can adjust the size of the opening area of ​​the cover plate 63 according to the temperature of the core inside the server. The movement of the cover plate 63 is guided by the sliding rod 65 inside the moving slot 611, so that the cover plate 63 is offset from the cabinet 10 by a certain space during the movement. This action quickly increases the opening area on the side of the cabinet, allowing the cold air from the outside to enter the cabinet at a higher flow rate and exchange with the hot air inside, effectively reducing the temperature of the cabinet.

[0101] In some embodiments, the cabinet 10 includes a cabinet door 11, on which a user operation module 80 is provided. The user operation module 80 is communicatively connected to the control module 70. The user operation module 80 is used to transmit user operation commands to the control module 70 and to display temperature and pressure parameters inside the cabinet 10.

[0102] In this embodiment, the user operation module 80 can be a touch screen or a display screen, used to display and control various technical parameters inside the cabinet.

[0103] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 20 includes two sets of mounting strips 21, each of which has first holes 211 arranged at intervals along a first direction. Correspondingly, the moving assembly 30 includes a connecting frame 31 and a moving plate 32. The two sets of connecting frames 31 are detachably connected to the two sets of mounting strips 21 in a one-to-one correspondence. The moving plate 32 is fixed to the two sets of connecting frames 31 and is used to place the server and to move relative to the mounting assembly 20 along the first direction.

[0104] Specifically, the movable plate 32 is a rectangular plate, with a connecting bracket 31 at each of its four corners. There are four mounting strips 21, arranged in pairs inside the supporting frame 13. Thus, as the movable plate 32 moves along the first direction, the second hole 311 on the connecting bracket 31 engages with the first hole 211 on the corresponding mounting strip 21, allowing the insertion of the pin 52 to fix the position of the movable plate 32.

[0105] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 and Figure 5 The plug-in control assembly 51 includes a housing 511, a connecting shaft 512, a screw 513, and a movable base 514. The housing 511 is fixed to the bottom surface of the movable plate 32 and has a rotating connection hole. The connecting shaft 512 is rotatably connected to the rotating connection hole and is used to rotate relative to the housing 511 along the axial direction of the rotating connection hole. Two screws 513 are respectively located at both ends of the connecting shaft 512. The movable base 514 is threaded to the outside of the screws 513 and connected to a pin 52. The movable base 514 is used to drive the pin 52 to insert into the second hole 311 and the corresponding first hole 211 under the rotation of the screws 513, thereby fixing the position of the movable plate 32 and the server on it.

[0106] The two screws 513 are symmetrically distributed on the vertical center line of the connecting shaft 512. The two screws 513 on both sides of the connecting shaft 512 have opposite thread directions, so that when the connecting shaft 512 rotates, the screws 513 at both ends can move towards or away from each other.

[0107] Furthermore, the movable seat 514 is provided with a guide groove 5141, and the movable plate 32 is provided with a guide rail 321. The guide groove 5141 and the guide rail 321 are slidably engaged to restrict the rotation of the movable seat 514, so as to guide the movement of the movable seat 514 and make the movable seat 514 move along the second direction.

[0108] It should be noted that the movable base 514 includes a movable part and a connecting part. The connecting part and the movable part are integrally formed. The movable part is provided with a guide groove 5141 and a screw hole for screwing the screw 513. The connecting part is vertically disposed on the movable part. The end of the connecting part is connected to a pin 52, and the axis of the pin 52 is parallel to the axis of the movable part. In this way, under the rotation of the screw 513 and the guiding action of the guide structure, the movable base 514 moves in the second direction and drives the pin 52 to insert into the second hole 311 and the corresponding first hole 211, thereby fixing the position of the movable plate 32 and the server on it.

[0109] In addition, the connecting frame 31 is connected to the movable plate 32 through the connecting block 33. The connecting block 33 is provided with a threaded hole, and the screw 513 is threadedly engaged with the threaded hole.

[0110] Of course, depending on actual needs, the connecting block 33 can be a triangular connecting block. This connecting block 33 is used to connect the corresponding connecting frame 31 and the moving plate 32 to strengthen the overall structure composed of the moving plate 32 and each connecting frame 31. At the same time, the connecting block 33 can also serve as a support structure for the connecting shaft 512. The connecting block 33 is provided with a threaded hole, and the connecting shaft 512 is threaded into the threaded hole, which supports the screw 513 and ensures the rotational stability of the screw 513.

[0111] In some embodiments, the number of plug-in locking devices 50 is two, the two plug-in locking devices 50 are disposed opposite each other on the bottom surface of the movable plate 32, the two plug-in locking devices 50 are disposed on the two bottom surfaces of the movable plate 32 along the third direction, and the connecting shaft 512 of the two plug-in locking devices 50 is connected by a transmission belt 53.

[0112] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the operation of the two plug-in locking devices 50, one of the screws 513 of the two plug-in locking devices 50 is connected to the drive handle 54. By operating the drive handle 54, the two plug-in locking devices 50 can be driven to operate.

[0113] In this way, by operating the drive handle 54, the connecting shaft 512 of the locking device 50 on one side is linked to the connecting shaft 512 of the locking device 50 on the other side, so that the four pins 52 are respectively inserted into the corresponding second hole 311 and first hole 211, and the position of the moving plate 32 and the server on it in the cabinet 10 is locked by fixing the four corners.

[0114] In some embodiments, there are two movement control devices 40, which are respectively disposed inside the support frame 13 on both sides along the third direction to control the movement of the movement component 30 relative to the mounting component 20. The third direction, the second direction and the first direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0115] The third party can be, for example... Figure 2 The Y-axis direction is shown.

[0116] Please refer to the following: Figure 6The movement control device 40 includes a slide bar 41, a threaded rod 42, a slider 43, a threaded sleeve 44, a connecting rod 45, a support assembly 46, and a drive assembly 47. The sliding rod 41 and the threaded rod 42 are arranged parallel to each other inside the support frame 13 on both sides along the second direction. Both the sliding rod 41 and the threaded rod 42 extend along the first direction. The sliding rod 41 is fixed to the support frame 13, and the threaded rod 42 is rotatably connected to the support frame 13. The slider 43 is slidably engaged with the sliding rod 41 and is used to slide relative to the sliding rod 41 along the first direction. The threaded sleeve 44 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 42 and is used to slide along the axis of the threaded rod 42 under the rotation of the threaded rod 42. The connecting rod 45 is connected between the slider 43 and the threaded sleeve 44 and extends along the second direction. The supporting component 46 is arranged on the connecting rod 45 and is located on the same straight line along the first direction as the cover 511. The supporting component 46 is used to support the cover 511 to drive the moving component 30 to move. The driving component 47 is installed at the rotating end of the threaded rod 42 and is used to drive the threaded rod 42 to rotate relative to the support frame 13.

[0117] Of course, the drive assembly 47 can be a drive motor, and the screw sleeve 44 and the threaded rod 42 form a screw transmission mechanism. In this way, the drive motor provides selective driving force to drive the threaded rod 42 to rotate around the axis of the first direction, so that the screw sleeve 44, the connecting rod 45, the supporting assembly 46 and the slider 43 slide under the guidance of the slide rod 41, thereby achieving the purpose of supporting the moving assembly 30 and driving the moving assembly 30 to move.

[0118] In some embodiments, the support assembly 46 includes a connecting seat 461, a bracket 462, and an elastic member. The connecting seat 461 is disposed on the connecting rod 45, the bracket 462 is rotatably connected to the interior of the connecting seat 461, and the bracket 462 is used to rotate relative to the connecting seat 461 along an axis in a second direction. The elastic member has its two ends connected to the bracket 462 and the connecting seat 461, respectively, and provides an elastic force to the bracket 462 to give it a tendency to rotate back into the connecting seat 461.

[0119] It should be noted that the bracket 462 and the cover 511 are positioned on the same vertical center line. During the up-and-down movement of the bracket 462, the bracket 462 can first rotate relative to the connecting seat 461 under the pushing action of the cover 511 and then open, and then support the cover 511 after rotating a certain angle. Specifically, the bracket 462 can be configured to be stored in the connecting seat 461 in the vertical position and open in the horizontal position. That is, the bracket 462 opens relative to the connecting seat 461 after rotating 90°, so as to support the cover 511 from the bottom.

[0120] Of course, depending on actual needs, the elastic element can be a torsion spring. The torsion spring is used to provide elastic force to the bracket 462 after the bracket 462 has completed its supporting task, so that the bracket 462 returns to the connecting seat 461.

[0121] In some embodiments, a power assembly can be provided on the connecting seat 461 to provide power, enabling the bracket 462 to rotate relative to the connecting seat 461 at an appropriate position to open, and to retract into the connecting seat 461 under the drive of the power assembly after completing the supporting work. Of course, the power assembly can also be a telescopic power assembly.

[0122] When the height of the server needs to be adjusted, the drive assembly 47 is activated, causing the threaded rod 42 to drive the threaded sleeve 44 to rise and fall using the thread. The threaded sleeve 44 moves the connecting seat 461 to the bottom of the moving plate 32, pushing the bracket 462 to rotate, causing the bracket 462 to leave the interior of the connecting seat 461. By contacting the bracket 462 with the cover 511, the connecting seat 461 lifts the moving plate 32 through the bracket 462 and the cover 511, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the moving plate 32. The movement of the connecting seat 461 is guided by the sliding of the slider 43 on the slider 41, reducing the shaking of the connecting seat 461. When not in use, the bracket 462 is rotated and retracted into the interior of the connecting seat 461, so that the bracket 462 is less likely to collide with other moving plates 32 during movement.

[0123] In some embodiments, the server rack may also be equipped with a visual acquisition module, which can collect information about the operator, such as height. Specifically, the visual acquisition module includes a camera and a bracket. The camera is movably mounted on the bracket and, as the main component of the visual acquisition module, is used to capture image or video data of the operator. The bracket is located on the front side of the rack (the front side is the side of the rack 10 closest to the door 11). The bracket is used to fix the camera and allows it to move within a certain range to adjust the shooting angle and field of view. The visual acquisition module can collect the operator's height information and transmit the operator's height information to the control module 70 inside the rack 10.

[0124] Furthermore, the control module 70 can integrate the received operator's height information and the information of the servers to be maintained inside the rack, and calculate the height that the servers to be maintained need to be adjusted to. Specifically, this height is designed to accommodate the operator, meaning the servers are adjusted to the most comfortable and convenient position for the operator's maintenance work. Then, the control module 70 transmits this height signal to the drive component 47 of the motion control device 40, which executes the command to adjust the height of the moving plate 32 and the corresponding server.

[0125] With this setup, by collecting the operator's height information, the control module 70 can automatically adjust the position or height of the servers to be maintained inside the rack to accommodate operators of different heights, improving the comfort and convenience of server maintenance. In addition to height information, the camera can also be used to collect other operation-related data, such as operator authentication information, further enhancing security.

[0126] In addition, the cabinet 10 also includes a first air intake partition 14, a second air intake partition 15, a top cover 16, a back panel 17 and other structures. The first air intake partition 14 is located inside one side of the cabinet door 11, the second air intake partition 15 is fixed inside the back panel 17 to achieve the filtering effect of the incoming air, and the top cover 16 is fixed to the top of the outer shell 12.

[0127] When using the server rack: Open the rack door 11 to open the rack 10. Connect the movable plate 32 to the server using bolts. Then, tilt the movable plate 32 and insert it into the rack 10. Position the movable plate 32 so that each connecting bracket 31 is located outside the corresponding mounting strip 21. Lock the connecting bracket 31 to the mounting strip 21 using the plug-in locking device 50. When the server height needs to be adjusted, use the movement control device 40 to assist in raising the movable plate 32 and adjust the position of the server inside the rack 10. When the internal temperature of the device is too high, use the ventilation device 60 to expand the ventilation range of the rack so as to quickly exhaust the hot air and reduce the energy consumption of the rack.

[0128] In summary, the server rack provided in this application, on the one hand, drives the threaded rod 42 to rotate through the drive component 47, thereby causing the threaded sleeve 44 to rise and fall. The bracket 462 supports the movable plate 32 through the cover 511, so as to adjust the position of the movable plate 32 up and down, realizing the auxiliary lifting function, significantly reducing the manpower requirement. At the same time, the height and position of the server can be adjusted as needed, thereby facilitating subsequent management and maintenance work, significantly shortening the server deployment cycle, and making it easy to remove the server for maintenance. On the other hand, through the perfect combination of precise control and efficient heat dissipation, energy consumption is significantly reduced while ensuring stable equipment operation. Specifically, the cabinet adopts advanced control technology. The control module 70 integrates high-precision temperature sensing and intelligent algorithms, which can monitor the temperature changes inside the cabinet in real time and automatically adjust the working state of the telescopic drive component 64 accordingly. When the temperature inside the cabinet rises to the set threshold, the control module 70 responds quickly and sends a command to the telescopic drive component 64 to drive it to retract. This action, through a precise mechanical transmission system, drives the moving rod 65 and the sealing plate 63 on it to move upward smoothly and quickly. As the sealing plate 63 gradually moves upward, the originally closed openings on both sides of the cabinet gradually expand, forming an efficient air circulation channel. This design cleverly utilizes the principle of natural convection, allowing relatively cool outside air to smoothly enter the cabinet through the enlarged openings and fully exchange heat with the hot air inside. In this way, the heat inside the cabinet can be dissipated to the external environment more directly and efficiently through the side panel openings, thereby effectively reducing heat accumulation inside the cabinet and preventing localized overheating. At the same time, the continuous replenishment of cool air further improves the air circulation efficiency inside the cabinet, providing a more stable and suitable working environment for core equipment such as servers.
