Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a whole cabinet server, and in particular to a handle of a separate design for the whole cabinet server, and a design method for improving the operation and maintenance convenience of the whole cabinet server. Background Art

[0002] The whole cabinet server is designed as a whole cabinet and server, for example, the power supply unit (PSU, commonly known as "power supply") and fans are concentrated on the cabinet. At this time, the whole cabinet server is not just a delivery method. Originally, each server had two power supplies, 1+1 configuration, and 50% redundancy; after integration, the redundancy is greatly reduced, and it can be N+R, such as 9+1. In addition, the number of power supplies used is reduced, so a higher power supply can be used. Such a power supply is usually more efficient and can save electricity and reduce carbon emissions. Whether from the perspective of reducing the procurement cost of power supply (CapEx) or improving power efficiency (OpEx), it can be saved in theory.

[0003] For example, the fan is placed at the back, and the copper busbar is also placed at the back (if the power supply is centralized). The back of the server is basically reserved for infrastructure. Therefore, the back is reserved for the operation and maintenance of the server or data center infrastructure, and the front is reserved for the operation and maintenance of the IT side, which is very different from general servers.

[0004] In short, the whole cabinet server. The overall shape is a cabinet, and the side of the cabinet is flat, which is convenient for placing a row of cabinets together. The back of the cabinet is a full fan wall for heat dissipation of the entire cabinet. Various interfaces such as network ports are on the front panel. Node installation is also inserted in the front, such as Figure 1 ;

[0005] Because the heat dissipation part of the whole cabinet server is concentrated at the rear of the cabinet, there are only a few control interfaces at the rear of the cabinet, and the functional interfaces (network port, video port, USB port, etc.) are arranged on the front panel of the cabinet. At the same time, because the deployment density of the whole cabinet server itself is higher than that of ordinary cabinets, in the case of high-density deployment, the handle layout of each node is likely to conflict with the interface position. In other words, the greater the density, the more likely it is to interfere with the cable plug, and there may even be problems such as interface deformation or poor contact. Summary of the invention

[0006] Aiming at the problem that the handle arrangement on the front panel of the current whole cabinet server is easy to conflict with the interface position, a detachable handle for the whole cabinet server is proposed.

[0007] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0008] A detachable handle for a whole cabinet server, the handle comprising a handle body, a cord for connecting the handle to a cabinet node, a detachable fastener and a positioning member matching each other, and at least two of the cord, detachable fastener and positioning member;

[0009] One end of the handle body is connected to one end of several ropes, and the opposite sides of the corner are used for the user to grasp, which is easy for the user to exert force; one end of each rope is connected to the handle body, and the other end is provided with a detachable fastener matching the positioning piece, which is used to connect the positioning piece of the entire cabinet server when in use; the positioning piece is set on the front panel of the cabinet node to fix the handle when in use.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning member may be a slot or a bolt; the detachable fastener may be a hook, a buckle, or a bolt corresponding to the fixing member; the cord may be a chain, a wire, or a rope, and may be flexible without stretchability.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle body may be triangular, or may be other shapes, and any shape may provide a wide grip that the user can fully grasp with one hand.

[0012] Furthermore, the integrated front panel can be slotted, but the split front panel should be connected to the casing by bolts that are integrated with the casing; the handle is not installed at ordinary times, but stored elsewhere and installed when needed.

[0013] Furthermore, the installation method is: the detachable fastener is connected to the positioning piece of the front panel of the entire cabinet server, and then it can be used.

[0014] Furthermore, the method of use is: the user grasps the force-exerting edge of the installed handle body with one hand / two hands, and pulls it outward with force to remove the connected node.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] The server only needs to make slots on the front panel or leave space for connecting bolts to minimize spatial interference; the non-fixed connection allows the handle size to be designed to be wider and easier to use; the separate design allows multiple nodes to share one, which is more economical; it can be disassembled when not in use, which is more concise; because the handles are not connected at ordinary times, the possibility of physical interference is eliminated; the wider handles are easier to exert force, making it more convenient to carry and deploy.

[0021] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is implemented based on the technical solution of the present invention, and provides a detailed implementation method and specific operation process, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0022] A cabinet handle with a separate design and easier to use. The handle includes a handle body 1, a cord 2 for connecting the handle to a cabinet node, and mutually matching detachable fasteners 3 and positioning members 4. Considering the force balance, there should be at least two cords 2, detachable fasteners 3 and positioning members 4.

[0023] The positioning member may be a slot or a bolt, the detachable fastener 3 may be a hook, a buckle, or a bolt corresponding to the fixing member, and the cord may be a chain, a wire, or a rope.

[0024] In some operation and maintenance scenarios, it is necessary to pull out the node to turn off the power or change the contents. The handle is mainly used at this time. The handle is mainly used to pull out the node. Considering that there may be transportation needs, the connection needs to have sufficient strength. The integrated front panel can be slotted, but the split front panel should be connected with bolts integrated with the chassis. The handle is not usually installed and stored somewhere else, and is installed when needed.

[0025] The handle body 1 can be a triangle, with one end of several cords 2 connected to one corner, and the side opposite to the corner is used for the user to grasp, which is easy for the user to exert force; the handle body 1 can also be other shapes, and can provide a wide handle for the user to grasp completely with one hand, such as a rectangle or an inverted triangle (in this case, two hands grasp two sides, and the middle of the remaining other side is connected to one end of several cords); there can be two cords 2, one end of each cord 2 is connected to the handle body 1, and the other end is provided with a detachable fastener 3 matching the positioning member 4, which is used to connect the positioning member 4 of the entire cabinet server when in use. The cord 2 can be a chain, a line, or a rope, and can be flexible, but not retractable to avoid accidental risks. The positioning member 4 is set on the front panel of the cabinet node to fix the handle when in use.

[0026] Installation method: The detachable fastener 3 is connected to the positioning piece 4 of the front panel of the whole cabinet server, and then it can be used. It can be understood as a plug-and-play drawer handle.

[0027] How to use: The user grasps the force-generating edge of the installed handle body 1 with one or both hands, and pulls it outward with force to remove the connected node.

[0028] In high-density deployment, it improves the convenience of operation and maintenance; the detachable design only takes up a small amount of front panel space; because it is detachable, it can be designed to be larger and more convenient to use.

[0029] The above-mentioned embodiment only expresses one implementation mode of the present invention, and its description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
