[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0031] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0032] To address the inconvenience of server maintenance in related technologies, this embodiment provides a server maintenance device.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 13The server maintenance equipment shown includes a first maintenance structure 10 and a second maintenance structure 20. The second maintenance structure 20 is tunably connected to the first maintenance structure 10. The server maintenance equipment has an extended working state and a retracted state where the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are extended. The first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20 have a groove 12. When the server maintenance equipment is in the working state, it is installed on the server 60 through the groove 12.

[0034] This embodiment features an adjustable connection between the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20, allowing both structures to be expanded and retracted. This enhances the flexibility of the server maintenance equipment, making it portable and easy to operate. This improves the efficiency of server maintenance by operators, preventing economic losses due to delayed maintenance. Furthermore, the maintenance equipment can be installed on the server 60, avoiding the current problem of inconvenient placement of external devices at the server 60 maintenance site. It also avoids issues such as the inconvenience of carrying external devices, limited functionality, and messy, unmanageable cables. Specifically, when the server maintenance equipment is in use, the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 unfold, allowing the server maintenance equipment to be fixed to the server 60 via the groove 12. This improves the convenience of maintenance for operators, eliminating the need for operators to hold the equipment or temporarily place it on the ground, thus enhancing the security of the server maintenance equipment and avoiding messy wiring between the equipment and the server 60. When the server maintenance equipment is not in use, the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 retract, reducing the size of the equipment and facilitating its transfer and transportation, thereby improving its portability. Furthermore, it allows maintenance personnel to monitor the status of the server 60 in real time without moving the equipment, thus improving the response speed of maintenance.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are retractably connected, and the retraction direction between the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 is along the length direction of the server maintenance device. When the server maintenance device is in the retracted state, one of the first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20 is located in the groove 12 of the other, thereby reducing the volume of the server maintenance device and improving its portability. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are provided with grooves 12, and the grooves 12 of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are connected. The grooves 12 of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are both arranged along the length of the server maintenance device. The grooves 12 of the first maintenance structure 10 can be open at both ends, while the grooves 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 are open at the end closest to the first maintenance structure 10. This allows the first maintenance structure 10 to extend into the grooves 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 when the server maintenance device is retracted, enabling the first and second maintenance structures 10 to be stacked or partially stacked. This reduces the space occupied by the server maintenance device and improves its portability. Of course, whether the first maintenance structure 10 has a groove 12 or not does not affect the ability of the server maintenance device to switch between working and retracted states. Depending on the actual situation, only the second maintenance structure 20 can have a groove 12, and the first maintenance structure 10 can still extend into the grooves 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 to retract the server maintenance device.

[0036] In another embodiment (not shown), the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 are rotatably foldable. The axis of rotation between the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 is perpendicular to the length direction of the server maintenance equipment. This allows the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 to be stacked by rotation, thereby reducing the size of the server maintenance equipment and improving its portability. Specifically, in this embodiment, a pivot perpendicular to the length direction of the server maintenance equipment can be provided at the ends of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 that are close to each other. When the first maintenance structure 10 rotates around the pivot and approaches the second maintenance structure 20, or when the second maintenance structure rotates around the pivot and approaches the first maintenance structure 10, the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 can be stacked, thereby reducing the size of the server maintenance equipment and making it easier for operators to transfer and carry the server maintenance equipment.

[0037] It should be noted that the length direction of the server maintenance equipment refers to the arrangement direction of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20, that is... Figure 1 The left and right directions in the middle.

[0038] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the server maintenance equipment also includes a connection component 30. The two transmission ends of the connection component 30 are respectively connected to the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20. The connection component 30 is foldable along the length of the server maintenance equipment. When the connection component 30 is folded, the server maintenance equipment is in a retracted state, thereby reducing the size of the server maintenance equipment. At the same time, the structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Specifically, in this embodiment, the connecting component 30 is disposed within the groove 12 of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20. When the connecting component 30 extends, it causes the first maintenance structure 10 to extend out of the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20, thereby allowing the length of the server maintenance device to match the side length of the server 60 and the server maintenance device to mate. This allows the groove 12 to be installed on the server 60, thus achieving a fixed connection between the server maintenance device and the server 60, and enabling the server maintenance device to be in working condition. When the connecting component 30 retracts and shortens, it causes the first maintenance structure 10 to extend into the second maintenance structure 20, thereby achieving the retraction of the server maintenance device and improving portability. It should be noted that the folding of the connecting component 30 refers to the fact that the connecting component 30 is retractable along the length direction of the server maintenance device, meaning that the length of the server maintenance device can change.

[0039] Optionally, multiple connection components 30 can be configured and arranged along the width direction perpendicular to the length direction of the server maintenance equipment, thereby improving the reliability of the expansion and contraction of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20.

[0040] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the connecting assembly 30 includes a plurality of connecting rods 31 connected in sequence. Two connecting rods 31 located at the transmission end are rotatably connected to the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20, respectively. Among two adjacent connecting rods 31, one connecting rod 31 has a protrusion, and the other connecting rod 31 has a groove 311 extending along the length direction of the server maintenance equipment. The protrusion is located in the groove 311, so that the two adjacent connecting rods 31 can slide relative to each other along the length direction of the server maintenance equipment, thereby realizing the length change of the server maintenance equipment and improving the flexibility and portability of the server maintenance equipment. Specifically, the connecting assembly 30 of this embodiment includes three connecting rods 31, namely a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, and a third connecting rod. The first maintenance structure 10 is provided with a first connecting seat, and the second maintenance structure 20 is provided with a second connecting seat, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting seat is configured as a protrusion, passing through the end of the slide groove 311 of the connecting rod 31, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting assembly 30 and the first maintenance structure 10; as Figure 8As shown, the second connecting seat is configured as a plate-shaped protrusion mechanism with a hole. The protrusion at the end of the connecting rod 31 passes through the hole in the second connecting seat, thereby realizing the connection between the connecting assembly 30 and the second maintenance structure 20. In this way, the first connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting seat, the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second connecting seat, and the third connecting rod is located between the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod. The third link has a protrusion at the end near the first link, and the protrusion is located on the side facing the first link. The first link has a groove 311, so the protrusion of the third link is located within the groove 311 of the first link, thereby enabling the retraction and expansion of the first and third links. The second link has a protrusion at the end near the third link, and the third link has a groove 311 on the side facing the second link, so the protrusion of the second link can slide within the groove 311 of the third link, thereby enabling the retraction and expansion of the second and third links. To avoid interference between the first and second links when the three connecting rods 31 are stacked, the protrusion and groove 311 of the third link are located on two opposite sides of the third link, so that when the server maintenance equipment is in the retracted state, the first and second links can be located on opposite sides of the third link respectively. In this way, the server maintenance equipment can be retracted by stacking the three connecting rods 31, and extended by extending the three connecting rods 31, thereby improving the portability of the server maintenance equipment. Of course, the number of connecting rods 31 is not unique. Depending on the actual situation, there can be two, four or more connecting rods 31. For example, when the length of the server maintenance equipment that needs to be extended or retracted is small, only two connecting rods 31 can be used, so that the retraction of the server maintenance equipment can be achieved by stacking and unfolding the two connecting rods 31.

[0041] In this embodiment, at least one of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 has a display 11. The display 11 and the recess 12 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the first maintenance structure 10, and / or the display 11 and the recess 12 are respectively disposed on two opposite sides of the second maintenance structure 20. This integration of the display 11 onto the surfaces of the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 not only saves space but also allows maintenance personnel to more intuitively view the status of the server 60 during operation, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. The display 11 can be disposed on the first maintenance structure 10 or the second maintenance structure 20, or, depending on actual needs, on both the first and second maintenance structures 10. The display 11 can display server 60 system information. Optionally, the display 11 is configured as a touch-sensitive display to facilitate operation and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first maintenance structure 10 has a display 11, and the second maintenance structure 20 has a groove 12. The first maintenance structure 10 can be embedded in the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20. When the server maintenance equipment is in the retracted state, the display 11 is located in the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20, so that the display 11 can be completely hidden when not in use, thereby protecting the display 11 from damage and avoiding damage to the display 11 during transportation, thereby extending the service life of the server maintenance equipment and reducing maintenance costs.

[0043] The server maintenance equipment in this embodiment also includes an operation display panel, which is disposed on the second maintenance structure 20. The operation display panel and the monitor 11 are located on the same side of the server maintenance equipment, so that when the server maintenance equipment is in operation, the monitor 11 and the operation display panel are arranged side-by-side, facilitating simultaneous viewing and operation of the server 60 status by the operator. Optionally, the operation display panel is touch-sensitive. Of course, depending on the actual situation, the positions of the monitor 11 and the operation display panel can be interchanged. The monitor 11 can be located on the second maintenance structure 20, and the operation display panel can be located on the first maintenance structure 10. Alternatively, both the monitor 11 and the operation display panel can be located on either the first maintenance structure 10 or the second maintenance structure 20.

[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, there are multiple second maintenance structures 20. The first maintenance structure 10 has a second maintenance structure 20 at each of its opposite ends. When the server maintenance equipment is in a retracted state, a portion of the display 11 is located within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 at one end, and the other portion of the display 11 is located within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 at the other end, thus completely protecting the display 11 within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20. Specifically, this embodiment has two first maintenance structures 10, located at both ends of the first maintenance structure 10 along the length of the server maintenance equipment. When the server maintenance equipment is in a retracted state, both ends of the first maintenance structure 10 extend into the grooves 12 of the second maintenance structures 20 at both ends, thus extending the display 11 into the grooves 12 of the second maintenance structures 20, protecting the display 11 from damage. This simultaneously achieves a compact server maintenance equipment structure and protects the display 11, eliminating the need for a separate protective device for the display 11 and requiring operators to carefully protect the display 11, thereby improving the user experience for maintenance personnel. Considering that the first maintenance structure 10 has a second maintenance structure 20 at each of its two ends, at least two connecting components 30 are also provided to allow for the retractable connection between the first maintenance structure 10 and the two second maintenance structures 20.

[0045] like Figure 11 ,Figure 12 As shown, in this embodiment, the server maintenance equipment also includes a mounting ear 40 that is disposed on the server 60 and protrudes from the surface of the server 60. When the server maintenance equipment is in working condition, the mounting ear 40 is located in the groove 12. The server maintenance equipment is connected to the server 60 through the groove 12 and the mounting ear 40, thereby providing a stable installation method for the server maintenance equipment and simplifying the installation and disassembly process of the server maintenance equipment, thus improving maintenance efficiency. Specifically, the installation of the server maintenance equipment and the server 60 can be achieved by making reasonable use of the infrastructure resources of the server 60. For example, the server maintenance equipment can choose to cooperate with the protruding device on the server 60 and the groove 12 of the server maintenance equipment, so that the protruding device extends into the groove 12 to realize the installation of the server 60 and the server maintenance equipment. When there is no suitable protruding device on the server 60, and in order to improve the reliability of the installation of the server 60 and the server maintenance equipment, this embodiment provides a mounting ear 40, such as... Figure 12 As shown, two mounting ears 40 are provided, located on both sides of the front end of the server 60 and protruding from the surface of the server 60. This allows the end of the mounting ear 40 furthest from the server 60 to extend into the groove 12 and connect and fix with the server maintenance equipment. The mounting ears 40 can be rectangular and slide to the edge of the front end of the server 60, thereby improving the flexibility of the mounting ears 40. Depending on the size and model of the server 60, the shape of the mounting ears 40 can be adjusted accordingly. Specifically, the shape of the end of the mounting ear 40 that connects to the server 60 can be adjusted according to the structure of the front end of the server 60, so that the mounting ears 40 can accommodate different models of the server 60, thereby improving the flexibility and adaptability of the server maintenance equipment. Thus, when the specifications of the server 60 change, it is not necessary to adjust the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20; only the mounting ears 40 need to be adjusted accordingly to ensure a stable connection with the server 60.

[0046] like Figure 11 , Figure 12As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting ear 40 has a docking interface 41 and a power supply interface 42. The first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20 have a data interface 21 and a power supply interface 22. When the server maintenance equipment is installed on the server 60, the docking interface 41 docks with the data interface 21, and the power supply interface 42 docks with the power supply interface 22, thereby realizing data transmission and power supply between the server maintenance equipment and the server 60 without complicated wiring, thus simplifying the connection of the server maintenance equipment and improving its portability and ease of use. Specifically, in this embodiment, the docking interface 41 is located at the end of the mounting ear 40 away from the server 60, and the power supply interface 42 is located on the side of the mounting ear 40. Both the docking interface 41 and the power supply interface 42 of the mounting ear 40 can be connected to the motherboard of the server 60. The surface of the groove 12 is provided with a data interface 21. The groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 includes two parts, namely a first recess and a second recess. The first recess and the second recess are arranged adjacent to each other and along the length of the server maintenance equipment. The second recess is provided with components such as a connecting component 30 and a second connecting seat. The first recess is located at the edge of the server maintenance equipment. When the server maintenance equipment is in working condition, the hanging ear 40 extends into the first recess, so that the end of the hanging ear 40 away from the server 60 mates with the surface of the first recess, and the side of the hanging ear 40 mates with the side wall of the first recess. This realizes the docking of the data interface 21 and the docking interface 41, realizing the signal transmission between the server maintenance equipment and the server 60. On the other hand, it facilitates the connection of the power interface 42 on the side of the hanging ear 40 to the power interface 22 on the side of the first groove 12, realizing the power supply of the server maintenance equipment. This makes the connection between the server maintenance equipment and the server 60 more convenient and efficient, avoids messy wiring, and makes the disassembly and assembly of the server maintenance equipment more convenient and quick, which helps to improve maintenance efficiency.

[0047] It should be noted that both ear loops 40 in this embodiment are provided with a power input interface 42 and a data interface 21. Depending on the actual situation, one ear loop 40 can be connected to the power input interface 42 and the data interface 21, or one ear loop 40 can be connected to the power input interface 42 and the other ear loop 40 can be connected to the data interface 21.

[0048] In an embodiment not shown, the server maintenance equipment also includes a battery module that powers the first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20. This eliminates the need for the server maintenance equipment to draw power from the mounting ears 40, thus the mounting ears 40 do not need to have a power-drawing function, and therefore the power interface 42 is unnecessary, resulting in better compatibility. Preferably, the battery module can be a rechargeable battery module.

[0049] Optionally, the server maintenance equipment in this embodiment can also be equipped with a wireless interconnection module to enable cross-device collaborative operation.

[0050] In this embodiment, the server maintenance equipment also includes a wiring switch 50. The first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20 have a power supply line for connecting to and drawing power from the server 60 and a data line for connecting to and transmitting data from the server 60. The wiring switch 50 can control the on / off state of the data line and the power supply line, thereby facilitating the opening and closing of the server maintenance equipment. Specifically, in this embodiment, a fixing structure is also provided in the groove 12 of the first maintenance structure 10. The fixing structure is provided with a power supply interface and a data cable interface. The power supply cable is connected to the display 11 and can pass through the power supply interface, and the data cable is connected to the display 11 and can pass through the data cable interface. This allows the fixing structure to fix the power supply cable and the data cable and guide the power supply cable to the power supply interface 22 and the data cable to the data interface 21, thereby avoiding messy wiring. At the same time, a notch is provided at the side wall edge of the groove 12 for the wiring switch 50 to pass through as a wiring switch slot. The notch connects the inside and outside of the groove 12. The wiring switch 50 is installed in the notch and is fixedly connected to the power supply cable and the data cable. Moving the wiring switch 50 controls the connection and disconnection of the power supply cable and the mounting ear 40, as well as the connection and disconnection of the data cable and the mounting ear 40, thereby facilitating the control of the server maintenance equipment to be turned on and off. At the same time, the notch position makes it convenient for operators to operate the wiring switch 50. More specifically, the end of the power supply cable away from the monitor 11 has a power supply interface 22. The power supply interface 22 can be connected to the power input interface 42 of the mounting ear 40. The mounting ear 40 can be directly connected to the motherboard of the server 60 through internal cables. The motherboard is directly connected to the power supply and indirectly supplies power to the mounting ear 40. In this way, without complicated wiring, the power input of the first maintenance structure 10 and / or the second maintenance structure 20 is realized. The routing of the data cable is similar to that of the power supply cable, the only difference being the location of the data interface 21 and the power supply interface 22, which will not be described in detail.

[0051] like Figure 8 , Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the recess 12 is provided with multiple data interfaces 21, enabling the server maintenance equipment to operate the server system. The data interfaces 21 include at least one of a USB interface and an HDMI interface. Specifically, since this embodiment has two second maintenance structures 20, thus having two first recesses, two data interfaces 21 are provided, one as a USB interface and the other as an HDMI interface. This improves the adaptability of the server 60 maintenance structure, facilitating the server maintenance equipment to adapt to more server specifications. Simultaneously, redundant data interfaces 21 are provided, thereby improving the reliability of the server maintenance equipment. Both the USB and HDMI interfaces are connected to the motherboard of the server 60 via internal cables. Similarly, as... Figure 11 , Figure 12As shown, both ear hooks 40 are also equipped with power input interfaces 42, thereby further improving the reliability of server maintenance equipment.

[0052] In this embodiment, both the first maintenance structure 10 and the second maintenance structure 20 have a groove 12. The connecting component 30, the wiring switch 50, the power supply line, and the data line are all disposed inside the groove 12, so that most of the components of the server maintenance equipment can be hidden in the groove 12 to avoid damage, thereby ensuring the reliability of the server maintenance equipment. Preferably, a cover is provided at the opening away from the bottom of the groove 12, thereby further improving the security of the server maintenance equipment. When the server maintenance equipment is in the retracted state, a portion of the first maintenance structure 10 is located within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 at one end, and the other portion of the first maintenance structure 10 is located within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20 at the other end. In this way, when the server maintenance equipment is retracted, the first maintenance structure 10 can be completely hidden within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20, thereby folding the entire length of the first maintenance structure 10, reducing the length of the server maintenance equipment, and improving portability. At the same time, the display 11 of the first maintenance structure 10 and all components within the groove 12 can be completely hidden within the groove 12 of the second maintenance structure 20, improving security and preventing damage.

[0053] It should be noted that, Figure 13 The server 60 in the picture does not have a server cover installed. It can be seen that the server 60 has multiple interfaces inside. The power interface 42 and the docking interface 41 of the ear 40 are connected to the interfaces inside the server 60 through the internal cables to obtain power or transmit signals.

[0054] The server maintenance equipment in this embodiment can be directly installed on the front of the server 60 without the need for an external operating platform. Its overall size and weight are reduced after retraction, making it easy to carry. It simultaneously provides display and operation functions, eliminating the need for multiple different devices. Furthermore, the cables are neatly stored inside the recess 12 and directly connected to the mounting ears 40 via the data interface 21 and power interface 22, resolving issues such as messy cables affecting judgment and wiring errors. For a small number of service area clusters, the server maintenance equipment in this embodiment can also be installed on the front of the server 60 as a device monitor. Besides displaying the server 60's working status in real time, it allows for operation of the server 60 at any time, eliminating the need for a central equipment monitoring room, thus saving costs.

[0055] The usage process of the server maintenance equipment in this embodiment is as follows: Connect the mounting bracket 40 to the server 60, then unfold the second maintenance structures 20 at both ends of the first maintenance structure 10, and then... Figure 10As shown, install the server maintenance equipment onto the front end of server 60. After installation, toggle the connection switch 50 to connect the equipment to server 60, enabling functions such as power supply and data connection.

[0056] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0057] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0058] 1. Solved the problem of inconvenient server operation and maintenance in related technologies;

[0059] 2. By setting up an adjustable connection between the first and second maintenance structures, the first and second maintenance structures can be expanded and collapsed, thereby improving the flexibility of the server maintenance equipment. This makes the server maintenance equipment portable and easy to operate, which helps to improve the maintenance efficiency of operators and avoid economic losses caused by untimely maintenance.

[0060] 3. Server maintenance equipment can be installed on the server, avoiding the current problem of inconvenience in placing external devices on the server maintenance site. It also avoids problems such as inconvenience in carrying external devices, limited functionality, and messy and inconvenient connection cables.
