Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a server handle, a whole cabinet server, and a server installation method. Background Art

[0002] Currently, servers need to be plugged into connectors after being installed. This has led to a gradual shift from manual insertion to blind plugging of nodes and buses. As the number of blind-plugged connectors increases, the insertion force required for these connections increases, reaching several thousand Newtons. This makes installation difficult for maintenance personnel, making it difficult to operate directly. Some existing cabinet handle designs often occupy a significant amount of space at the front end of the cabinet, weakening the overall strength of the front frame and cabinet while also shrinking the front frame, leaving space tight. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides a server handle, a whole cabinet server and a server installation method, so as to at least solve the problem of difficulty in installing the server in the cabinet in the related art.

[0004] The present application provides a server handle, comprising: a mounting base, which is mounted on the server; a pushing member, which is movably connected to the mounting base, and has a first pushing portion for cooperating with a protrusion on a box body, and the first pushing portion can avoid the protrusion or apply force to a first side of the protrusion; a pushing member, which is movably connected to the mounting base or the pushing member, and has a second pushing portion for cooperating with a front frame on the box body, and along the direction in which the server is loaded into the box body, the second pushing portion and the first pushing portion are sequentially spaced apart and form a disassembly and assembly area for accommodating the protrusion, and the second pushing portion can avoid the front frame or apply force to a second side of the protrusion opposite to the first side.

[0005] The present application also provides a whole cabinet server, including a cabinet, a server and the above-mentioned server handle. The server handle is installed on the server, and the server is detachably installed in the cabinet. The inner wall of the cabinet has a protrusion. The server handle and the protrusion can abut and cooperate to drive the server into or out of the cabinet.

[0006] The present application also provides a server installation method, which includes: when the first pushing portion of the pushing member and the second pushing portion of the pushing member are located on a side of the front frame of the cabinet away from the protrusion, the first pushing portion is in a first avoidance state of avoiding the protrusion and the front frame, and the second pushing portion is in a second avoidance state of avoiding the front frame; when the first pushing portion and the second pushing portion move between the front frame and the protrusion, the first pushing portion is in a first avoidance state, and the second pushing portion is in a second force-applying state in which force can be applied to the protrusion and drive the server out of the cabinet; when the first pushing portion moves to a side of the protrusion away from the front frame, the first pushing portion is in a first force-applying state in which force can be applied to the protrusion and drive the server to be installed into the cabinet.

[0007] Through the present application, two parts, a pushing part and a pushing part, are provided, and at the same time cooperate with the raised part on the box body, so that the first pushing part and the second pushing part can cooperate with the raised part. During installation and disassembly, one of the first pushing part and the second pushing part can be used to abut and cooperate with the raised part, so that it applies force to the raised part, thereby utilizing the interaction relationship between the pushing part and the raised part to achieve the effect of driving the server into and out of the box body. At the same time, in addition to being able to have abutting force relationship with the protrusion, the first pushing part and the second pushing part can also avoid the protrusion and the front frame, that is, the first pushing part and the second pushing part can switch to a state of avoiding the protrusion and the front frame. In this way, when pushing the server into the box, the first pushing part and the second pushing part can be operated so that the two avoid the front frame and the protrusion on the box, so that the first pushing part and the second pushing part can smoothly pass over the front frame, and the first pushing part can smoothly pass over the protrusion. Then the first pushing part changes its position to abut against the inner side surface of the protrusion. At this time, the operator applies force to the pushing part so that the first pushing part abuts against the inner side surface of the protrusion. The reaction of the protrusion to the pushing part can be used to make the pushing part drive the server further into the box, thereby achieving the effect of installing the server into the box. When the server needs to be pulled out, the second pushing part is switched to a position where it abuts against the raised part. Since the second pushing part abuts against the outer side of the raised part, turning the server handle at this time can make the second pushing part and the raised part abut against each other. The reaction force of the raised part on the second pushing part can drive the server to move to the outside of the box, thereby achieving the removal of the server. The above-mentioned setting method can utilize the cooperation between the server handle and the raised part to achieve the effect of driving the server to be inserted and pulled out of the box, reducing the installation difficulty for personnel and being convenient and quick. At the same time, since both the push-in part and the push-out part cooperate with the raised part, it is unnecessary to set a groove or other structure on the box, thereby reducing the space occupied by the raised part, reducing the space occupied by the front end components of the box, and ensuring the overall structural strength of the box.

[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0027] In order to solve the problem of difficulty in installing a server in a cabinet in the related art, the present application provides a server handle, a whole cabinet server and a server installation method.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 12 The server handle shown includes a mounting base 10, a pushing member 20 and an ejecting member 30. The mounting base 10 is installed on the server 70; the pushing member 20 is movably connected to the mounting base 10, and the pushing member 20 has a first pushing portion 21 for cooperating with the protrusion 61 on the box body. The first pushing portion 21 can avoid the protrusion 61 or apply force to the first side of the protrusion 61; the ejecting member 30 is movably connected to the mounting base 10 or the pushing member 20, and the ejecting member 30 has a second pushing portion 31 for cooperating with the front frame 62 on the box body. Along the direction in which the server 70 is installed into the box body, the second pushing portion 31 and the first pushing portion 21 are arranged in sequence and form a disassembly and assembly area for accommodating the protrusion 61. The second pushing portion 31 can avoid the front frame 62 or apply force to the second side of the protrusion 61 opposite to the first side.

[0030] In this embodiment, a push-in member 20 and a push-out member 30 are provided, and at the same time, they cooperate with the protrusion 61 on the box body, so that the first push part 21 and the second push part 31 can cooperate with the protrusion 61. During installation and disassembly, one of the first push part 21 and the second push part 31 can be used to abut against the protrusion 61, so that it applies force to the protrusion 61, thereby utilizing the interaction between the push part and the protrusion 61 to achieve the effect of driving the server 70 into and out of the box. At the same time, in addition to being able to have a contact and force-applying relationship with the protrusion 61, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can also avoid the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62, that is, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can be switched to a state of avoiding the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62. In this way, when pushing the server 70 into the box, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can be operated so that the two avoid the front frame 62 and the protrusion 61 on the box, so that the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can smoothly pass over the front frame 62, and the first pushing part 21 can smoothly pass over the protrusion 61. Then, the first pushing part 21 changes its position and can be in contact with the inner side surface of the protrusion 61. At this time, the operator applies force to the pushing member 20 so that the first pushing part 21 is in contact with the inner side surface of the protrusion 61. The reaction of the protrusion 61 to the pushing member 20 can be used to enable the pushing member 20 to drive the server 70 further into the box, thereby achieving the effect of installing the server 70 into the box. When the server 70 needs to be pulled out, the second pushing portion 31 is switched to a position where it abuts against the protrusion 61. Since the second pushing portion 31 abuts against the outer side of the protrusion 61, turning the server handle at this time can cause the second pushing portion 31 and the protrusion 61 to abut against each other. The reaction force of the protrusion 61 on the second pushing portion 31 can drive the server 70 to move toward the outside of the box, thereby achieving the removal of the server 70. The above arrangement can utilize the cooperation between the server handle and the protrusion 61 to achieve the effect of driving the server 70 into and out of the box, reducing the installation difficulty for personnel and making it convenient and quick. At the same time, since both the push-in member 20 and the ejection member 30 cooperate with the protrusion 61, it is unnecessary to set a groove or other structure on the box, thereby reducing the space occupied by the protrusion 61 and the space occupied by the front end components of the box, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the box.

[0031] This embodiment uses the server 70 as an example for use on a rack-mounted server. In this case, the housing is the rack 60, and the server 70 can be a node server, etc. The server handle is mounted on the front side of the server 70, thereby cooperating with the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62 on the front side of the rack 60 to achieve a avoidance and abutment effect. Of course, the server handle of this embodiment can also be mounted on other types of servers 70, in which case the housing can be other outer shell structures such as a chassis.

[0032] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting base 10 has a mounting surface 11 mounted on the side of the server 70. The mounting surface 11 mates with the front side of the server 70 to secure the server handle. The mounting surface 11 of this embodiment is flat and parallel to the side of the server 70. With this mounting surface 11 as a reference, when the first pusher 21 clears the raised portion 61, the surface of the first pusher 21 forms an angle with the mounting surface 11 that is greater than 0 degrees and less than 90 degrees. This causes the first pusher 21 to tilt relative to the mounting surface 11, allowing it to pass over the front frame 62 and the raised portion 61, thereby abutting against the inner side of the raised portion 61. Similarly, when the second pusher 31 clears the raised portion 61, the surface of the second pusher 31 is parallel to the mounting surface 11, allowing it to also clear the front frame 62 and abut against the outer side of the raised portion 61. It should be noted that the parallelism mentioned here is not absolute parallelism, but rather approximately parallelism, and a small angle may exist between the two. The inner side of the raised portion 61 is the first side of the raised portion 61, and the outer side of the raised portion 61 is the second side of the raised portion 61.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the push member 20 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the mounting base 10. When the push member 20 rotates, the first push portion 21 can switch between a position of avoiding and a position of applying force to the protrusion 61. In other words, the push member 20 switches its mating relationship with the protrusion 61 by rotating. Based on the above structure, the push member 20 has a rotation axis, with the first operating portion 22 and the first pushing portion 21 at its two ends, respectively. The rotation axis of the push member 20 is located between the first operating portion 22 and the first pushing portion 21. Therefore, when an operator operates the first operating portion 22, the push member 20 can be rotated. The rotation of the push member 20 causes the first pushing portion 21 to change its avoidance and force application state, and can also apply force to the protrusion 61 to achieve the effect of inserting the server 70 into the box.

[0034] In this embodiment, the distance between the rotation axis of the pushing member 20 and the first pushing portion 21 is the first lever arm, and the distance between the rotation axis of the pushing member 20 and the first operating portion 22 is the second lever arm. The first lever arm is greater than the second lever arm, so that the pushing member 20 forms a labor-saving structure. The operator only needs to apply a very small force to make the first pushing portion 21 apply force to the protrusion 61 and drive the server 70 to plug and unplug.

[0035] Preferably, the ratio between the first lever arm and the second lever arm is 1:9-1:14, thereby further reducing the force required by personnel and making it easier to insert and remove the server 70 into the cabinet 60. At the same time, the length of the lever arm does not excessively affect the space within the cabinet 60, thereby ensuring the utilization of the space within the cabinet 60. It should be noted that the settings of the above specific values ​​can be adjusted as needed, as long as the force saving effect is achieved.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, in addition to the push-in member 20 being rotatable, the ejector 30 is also rotatable. However, unlike the push-in member 20, the ejector 30 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the push-in member 20, and the rotation axis of the ejector 30 is eccentrically arranged relative to the rotation axis of the push-in member 20. In addition, along the direction in which the server 70 is inserted into the cabinet 60, the rotation axes of the ejector 30 and the push-in member 20 are sequentially spaced apart, thereby forming a spaced arrangement between the first pushing portion 21 and the second pushing portion 31. When the push-in member 20 rotates, it can drive the ejector 30 to rotate together. Therefore, when removing the server 70, only the first operating portion 22 of the push-in member 20 needs to be applied to cause the push-in member 20 to drive the ejector 30 to rotate. This allows the push-in member 20 to save effort for both inserting and removing the server 70. Based on the above arrangement, the rotation of the ejector 30 relative to the push-in member 20 primarily serves to switch between a position clear of the front frame 62 and a position abutting the protrusion 61, i.e., to switch between a clearing position and a force-applying position. The second pusher 31 applies force to the protrusion 61 driven by the push-in member 20. As the ejector 30 rotates, the second pusher 31 switches between a position clear of the front frame 62 and a position abutting the protrusion 61. Accordingly, the ejector 30 also has a rotation axis, with the second operating portion 32 and the second pusher 31 at its ends, respectively. The rotation axis of the ejector 30 is located between the second operating portion 32 and the second pusher 31. Thus, an operator can rotate the ejector 30 by operating the second operating portion 32, thereby switching the ejector 30 between a position clear of the front frame 62 and a position abutting the protrusion 61.

[0037] In an embodiment not shown, the ejector 30 is also rotatably connected to the mounting base 10, that is, both the push-in member 20 and the ejector 30 are rotatably connected to the mounting base 10, and their rotation is relatively independent. In this way, the rotation of the push-in member 20 does not affect the ejector 30, and the rotation of the ejector 30 does not affect the push-in member 20. The operator can apply force to the first operating portion 22 to cause the first pushing portion 21 to apply force to the protrusion 61, thereby inserting the server 70, and the operator can apply force to the second operating portion 32 to cause the second pushing portion 31 to apply force to the protrusion 61, thereby removing the server 70. In this embodiment, two force arms are also formed between the rotation axis of the ejector 30 and the second pushing portion 31 and the second operating portion 32. The length relationship between the two force arms can also be set according to the relationship between the two force arms on the push-in member 20, so that the ejector 30 also forms a labor-saving structure.

[0038] It should be noted that the rotational stroke of the pushing member 20 can be set accordingly according to the moving stroke of the server 70 when it is installed in the cabinet 60. The two are coordinated so that when the pushing member 20 rotates between two predetermined positions, it can ensure that the server 70 is installed in place in the cabinet 60, and ensure that the force applied by the server handle can cover the connector stroke of the server 70.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the server handle also includes a locking assembly 50, which is movably connected to the push piece 20 and can be docked with the mounting base 10. The locking assembly 50 is used to lock the position of the push piece 20. In this way, after the server 70 is installed in the cabinet 60 through the server handle, the position of the push piece 20 is locked by the locking assembly 50, so that the push piece 20 cannot be operated at this time, and the server 70 cannot be pulled out, so that the server handle cannot be operated at will, thereby preventing accidental operation of the server handle due to accidental touch and the like, and ensuring that the server 70 is installed in the cabinet 60 stably and reliably.

[0040] Optionally, the specific structural form of the locking assembly 50 can be configured as needed, and any locking method in the form of a lock catch, a lock bolt, or the like can be used, as long as it can cooperate with the push-in member 20 to achieve the operation of locking the server handle. It should be noted that if the aforementioned arrangement of a rotatable connection between the ejection member 30 and the mounting base 10 is adopted, the locking assembly 50 can also cooperate with the ejection member 30, that is, the locking assembly 50 can not only lock the movement of the push-in member 20, but also the movement of the ejection member 30, thereby ensuring effective control of the operation of the server handle under this arrangement, ensuring safety, and preventing accidental touches.

[0041] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the locking assembly 50 of this embodiment includes a locking member 51 and a locking position 52, wherein the locking member 51 is movably connected to the pushing member 20, and the locking member 51 can move together under the drive of the pushing member 20. The locking member 51 and the pushing member 20 of this embodiment are rotatably connected, and a first connection position is formed between the locking member 51 and the pushing member 20, and a second connection position is formed between the pushing member 20 and the mounting seat 10. The first connection position and the second connection position are staggered, so that the rotation axis of the locking member 51, the rotation axis of the pushing member 20, and the rotation axis of the ejecting member 30 are parallel to each other but do not overlap. The three can rotate around their respective axes respectively, and at the same time, the locking member 51 and the ejecting member 30 can rotate under the drive of the pushing member 20. The locking position 52 is located on the mounting base 10, and the locking position 52 is fixed relative to the mounting base 10. At the same time, a locking structure 511 is provided on the locking member 51. In this way, when the locking assembly 50 is in the locked state, the locking structure 511 is locked with the locking position 52. At this time, due to the limitation of the locking position 52, the locking structure 511 cannot be disengaged from the locking position 52, so that the pushing member 20 cannot rotate at this time, that is, the pushing member 20 is hindered from moving relative to the mounting base 10, so that the server handle cannot be unlocked, and the server 70 will not be accidentally touched and pulled out.

[0042] The locking structure 511 of this embodiment is a hook-shaped structure. The rotation axis of the locking member 51 is close to the first operating part 22. The locking structure 511 itself extends to a certain length, and its length is roughly along the direction in which the server 70 is installed in the cabinet 60. The end of the locking structure 511 away from the rotation axis is hook-shaped, so that the locking structure 511 as a whole forms a hook-shaped structure. Correspondingly, the mounting base 10 has a locking rod, and the peripheral side surface of the locking rod is the locking position 52. In this way, when the hook-shaped structure is hooked on the peripheral side surface of the locking rod, the push-in member 20 cannot be rotated due to the abutment between the hook-shaped structure and the locking rod, thereby locking the position of the push-in member 20 and unable to drive the ejection member 30 to perform the extraction action.

[0043] In this embodiment, the locking assembly 50 also includes a second reset member 53, which can be a spring or other component. The second reset member 53 is arranged between the locking member 51 and the pushing member 20, so that the two ends of the second reset member 53 are respectively in contact with the locking member 51 and the pushing member 20. In this way, the second reset member 53 provides the locking member 51 with a reset force to lock with the locking position 52, so that the locking member 51 can automatically switch back to the locked state connected to the locking structure 511 when not operated, thereby achieving automatic locking.

[0044] In this embodiment, the locking member 51 further has an operating structure 512 . The operating structure 512 and the locking structure 511 are bent to form a roughly L-shaped structure, and the bending point between the two is roughly where the rotation axis is located. The extension direction of the operating structure 512 is roughly the same as the extension direction of the first operating part 22, so that the two are arranged roughly in parallel, and the operating structure 512 is spaced apart from the first operating part 22 of the pushing member 20, and an unlocking area for unlocking is formed between the operating structure 512 and the pushing member 20, and the second reset member 53 can be arranged in the unlocking area. At the same time, the unlocking area also provides space for personnel operation, that is, the operator can hold the first operating part 22 and the operating structure 512, and rotate the locking member 51 through a pinching action, and the operating structure 512 rotates in the direction close to the first operating part 22. At this time, the operating structure 512 can drive the locking structure 511 to rotate, so that the locking structure 511 is disengaged from the locking position 52, thereby unlocking the locking assembly 50, and then the operator can apply force to the first operating part 22, thereby realizing the rotation of both the pushing member 20 and the ejecting member 30, realizing the cooperation with the protrusion 61, and realizing the operation of the server handle driving the server 70 to be installed and removed from the cabinet 60.

[0045] Since the second operating portion 32 does not need to be operated during most force-applying operations, the length of the second operating portion 32 can be relatively short. It does not need to extend as long as the first operating portion 22, but rather only a short length. The operator does not need to exert much force when rotating the ejector 30 alone. Therefore, the smaller size of the ejector 30 can help reduce space usage. The specific shape of the ejector 30 can be configured as needed, either in a straight line or in a partially curved form, as long as it can abut against the raised portion 61 and avoid the front frame 62. Its specific shape can be adjusted based on the specific coordination with the mounting base 10, the push-in member 20, and other components. In this embodiment, the ejector 30 is further provided with a stop structure, which can be located at a certain position on the side. The stop structure and the mounting base 10 are limited in position, so that when the ejector 30 rotates to the limit position, the abutment between the stop structure and the mounting base 10 prevents the ejector 30 from rotating further, thereby preventing excessive rotation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting base 10 has a mounting structure, which is located at the mounting surface 11. The mounting structure is docked with the server 70, and the server handle is installed on the side of the server 70 through the mounting structure, so that the mounting surface 11 of the mounting base 10 is installed and fits on the side of the server 70, realizing the connection and cooperation between the server handle and the server 70.

[0047] like Figure 6 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the mounting surface 11 has two opposite sides, one facing the outside of the protrusion 61 and the other facing the inside of the server 70. The first pushing portion 21 and the second pushing portion 31 are both arranged on the outside of the mounting surface 11. The rotation axes of the pushing member 20 and the ejecting member 30 are also located on the outside of the mounting surface 11, while the first operating portion 22 and the operating structure 512 are both located on the inside of the mounting surface 11. The second operating portion 32 can extend to a short distance inside the protrusion 61. In this way, the pushing member 20 and the ejecting member 30 can cooperate with the protrusion 61, and the first operating portion 22 can be located at the end surface of the front end of the server 70, thereby facilitating operation.

[0048] The mounting structure of this embodiment includes a mounting hole 12 and a fastener. The mounting hole 12 is aligned with the through hole 72 on the server 70. The fastener can be a screw or other component. After the mounting hole 12 is aligned with the through hole 72, the fastener can be passed through the mounting hole 12 and the through hole 72, thereby connecting the mounting base 10 and the server 70.

[0049] The mounting structure of this embodiment also includes a mounting groove 13 that cooperates with the mounting column 71 on the side of the server 70. The mounting groove 13 extends along the mounting surface 11 of the mounting base 10 and is connected to the side of the mounting base 10. In this way, during installation, the mounting surface 11 is aligned and tightly attached to the side of the server 70, but the mounting hole 12 is not aligned with the through hole 72. At this time, the mounting base 10 is pushed along the side of the server 70, so that the mounting column 71 gradually extends into the mounting groove 13 and moves in the mounting groove 13 until the mounting hole 12 is aligned with the through hole 72. At this time, the fastener can be inserted into the mounting hole 12 and the through hole 72 to fasten the mounting base 10 and the server 70 together.

[0050] In this embodiment, the two rotatably connected components can be connected by a shaft screw, allowing the two components to be connected together and rotate relative to each other. Of course, the specific connection method can be adjusted as needed. The shaft screw can be a stepped screw, with one section being threaded and the other section being a smooth rod.

[0051] like Figures 7 to 12As shown, this embodiment also provides a rack-mounted server, comprising a rack 60, a server 70, and the aforementioned server handle. The server 70 has a front face, two side faces, and a rear face. The front face and rear face are opposite and face toward and away from personnel, respectively. The side faces are generally parallel to the direction in which the server 70 is inserted into the rack 60. The server handle is mounted on the side of the server 70 via a mounting structure, located near the front face, thereby creating a gap between the first operating portion 22 and the front face for easy operation. The server 70 is removably mounted within the rack 60, allowing it to be inserted and removed from the rack 60 laterally. A protrusion 61 is provided on the inner wall of the rack 60, protruding toward the interior of the rack 60. Thus, when the server handle is moved laterally into and out of the rack 60, the first push portion 21 and the second push portion 31 engage with the protrusion 61, thereby driving the server 70 into or out of the rack 60.

[0052] like Figure 11 As shown, the cabinet 60 of this embodiment has an open side, which serves as the entrance for the server 70 to be installed into the cabinet 60. When the server 70 is properly installed in the cabinet 60, the front face of the server 70 is located at the open side. The sides adjacent to the open side have a front frame 62 and a raised portion 61. The front frame 62 also protrudes into the interior of the cabinet 60. The front frame 62 and the raised portion 61 are both located at the open side, and the front frame 62 is closer to the open side than the raised portion 61. In this way, when the server 70 is installed in the cabinet 60, the server handle must first pass over the front frame 62 before it can engage with the raised portion 61. Compared to the front frame 62 of a traditional cabinet 60, the width of the front frame 62 of this embodiment can be larger, which provides more space for designing components such as cabinet door fasteners, strengthens the frame strength, and increases the load-bearing capacity of the cabinet 60.

[0053] It should be noted that the outer side of the protrusion 61, i.e., the first side of the protrusion 61, is the side of the protrusion 61 facing the opening, while the inner side of the protrusion 61, i.e., the second side of the protrusion 61, is the side of the protrusion 61 away from the opening.

[0054] Alternatively, as Figure 12 As shown, the inner wall of the cabinet 60 also has a cable tie bracket, which is located between the front frame 62 and the raised portion 61. Due to the shape of the raised portion 61 in this embodiment, an additional space is formed between the raised portion 61 and the front frame 62, and the cable tie bracket is located in this space. In this way, the cable tie bracket can serve as a cable management function, making the cables within the cabinet 60 more organized. At the same time, the cabinet 60 can be provided with horizontally extending guide rails as needed. The guide rails can be installed and fixed through the provided fixing holes, so that the server 70 can be supported on the guide rails.

[0055] The number of server handles in this embodiment can be set as needed, and one or more can be set, and preferably, server handles are provided on both opposite sides of the server 70. Correspondingly, protrusions 61 are provided on both opposite sides of the inner wall of the cabinet 60, so that the server handles on both sides can respectively correspond to the protrusions 61, the front frame 62 and other structures on both sides.

[0056] Preferably, the raised portion 61 on one side of the cabinet 60 of this embodiment is continuously arranged along the height direction of the inner wall of the cabinet 60, so that the raised portion 61 forms an integral structure that penetrates from top to bottom. This is conducive to improving compatibility with various servers 70. When the installation height and other settings of the server 70 are changed, the server handle can still be matched with the raised portion 61, and the multi-layer servers 70 arranged up and down can be matched with different segments of a raised portion 61 at the same time, so that they can be directly compatible without the need to re-customize the position of the raised portion 61, etc. The positioning accuracy is higher and the processing is simple. At the same time, it is also conducive to improving the structural strength of the raised portion 61, ensuring the stable and reliable abutment between the raised portion 61 and the server handle.

[0057] In accordance with the mounting structure on the server handle, the side of the server 70 of this embodiment has a mounting post 71 and a through hole 72. The mounting slot 13 of the mounting base 10 of the server handle cooperates with the mounting post 71 and is slidably mounted along the side of the server 70. The through hole 72 is aligned with the mounting hole 12 of the mounting base 10. Fasteners are inserted through the mounting hole 12 and the through hole 72 to connect the server handle and the server 70. In this embodiment, the mounting post 71 is I-shaped, while the mounting slot 13 is an I-slot. This allows the mounting post 71 to extend into and move a certain distance within the mounting slot 13 before the two can engage in a limited manner. At this point, the mounting base 10 can only slide in the opposite direction and cannot move in a direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 11, thereby facilitating the insertion of fasteners and facilitating the connection between the server handle and the server 70.

[0058] To facilitate the design of a server handle that drives server 70 for insertion, buses compatible with server 70 are located at the rear of cabinet 60. These buses can be divided into a liquid cooling bus, a power supply bus, and a signal and network bus. The buses are fixed to the rear of cabinet 60 and equipped with connectors with forward-facing openings. These connectors mate with the rear-facing connectors on server 70. When server 70 is installed in cabinet 60, the connectors can be mated to form a male-female pair, enabling insertion.

[0059] This embodiment also provides a server installation method using the aforementioned server handle. The server installation method generally includes three stages: the server handle has not yet entered the cabinet 60, at which point the first pusher 21 and the second pusher 31 are located on the side of the front frame 62 of the cabinet 60 away from the raised portion 61; the server handle is located between the front frame 62 and the raised portion 61, at which point the first pusher 21 and the second pusher 31 move to between the front frame 62 and the raised portion 61; and the first pusher 21 passes over the raised portion 61 and is able to abut against the raised portion 61, at which point the first pusher 21 moves to the side of the raised portion 61 away from the front frame 62, while the second pusher 31 remains located on the side of the raised portion 61 close to the front frame 62. The specific processes for the above three stages are as follows:

[0060] like Figure 7 As shown, when the first pushing portion 21 of the pushing member 20 and the second pushing portion 31 of the pushing member 30 are located on the side of the front frame 62 of the cabinet 60 away from the protrusion 61, the first pushing portion 21 and the second pushing portion 31 both need to avoid the front frame 62. Therefore, the first pushing portion 21 is in a first avoiding state avoiding the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62, and the second pushing portion 31 is in a second avoiding state avoiding the front frame 62, so that the server 70 and the server handle thereon can pass through the front frame 62 smoothly.

[0061] like Figure 8 As shown, as the server 70 is gradually loaded, the first pushing portion 21 and the second pushing portion 31 will pass over the front frame 62 and move between the front frame 62 and the protrusion 61. At this time, the first pushing portion 21 still remains in the first avoidance state, and the operator does not need to rotate the pushing member 20. The second pushing portion 31 needs to switch to the second force-applying state in which it can apply force to the protrusion 61 and drive the server 70 out of the cabinet 60. Therefore, the operator can manually apply force to the second operating portion 32 to rotate the ejection member 30, and the second pushing portion 31 of the ejection member 30 rotates to the path of the protrusion 61, so that the second pushing portion 31 does not pass over the protrusion 61, but can abut and cooperate with the outer side of the protrusion 61, thereby preparing for the subsequent extraction of the server 70.

[0062] like Figure 9As shown, as the server 70 is further installed, the first pushing portion 21 moves to the side of the protrusion 61 away from the front frame 62, and the connector on the server 70 is relatively close to the connector in the cabinet 60. At this time, the first pushing portion 21 needs to switch to the first force-applying state in which it can apply force to the protrusion 61 and drive the server 70 to be installed in the cabinet 60. Therefore, the operator applies force to the first operating portion 22, causing the push-in member 20 to rotate, and the first pushing portion 21 rotates to the path of the protrusion 61, so that it can abut and cooperate with the inner side of the protrusion 61. As the operator continues to rotate the push-in member 20, the first pushing portion 21 abuts against the protrusion 61. Under the reaction force of the protrusion 61, the first pushing portion 21 drives the server 70 to be installed in the cabinet 60, so that the server 70 is plugged and matched with the connector in the cabinet 60, completing the installation of the server 70. When the first operating portion 22 rotates to be substantially flush with the front end surface of the server 70 , the surface of the first pushing portion 21 is substantially parallel to the inner side surface of the protrusion 61 , and the server 70 is now installed in place.

[0063] When the server 70 needs to be removed from the cabinet 60 , it is only necessary to perform the above-mentioned installation process in reverse order.

[0064] It should be noted that before a person operates the server handle, the locking assembly 50 is in a locked state. To operate the server handle, the person only needs to simultaneously grasp the first operating portion 22 and the operating structure 512, then perform a pinching motion to rotate the operating structure 512 toward the first operating portion 22 to unlock the locking assembly 50. The push member 20 can then be rotated to switch to the first avoidance state, thereby achieving avoidance between the front frame 62 and the protrusion 61. After the server 70 is installed, the operator only needs to release the operating structure 512, which will automatically reset under the action of the second reset member 53, causing the locking structure 511 to reengage with the locking position 52, and the locking assembly 50 to switch back to the locked state to lock the server handle.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] The difference from the first embodiment is that the specific arrangement of the ejection member 30 is different.

[0067] like Figure 13As shown, in this embodiment, the ejector 30 is not rotatably connected to the mounting base 10 or the push-in member 20. Instead, it is movably disposed on the push-in member 20. In this case, the end of the ejector 30 that extends out of the push-in member 20 serves as the second push portion 31. This allows the ejector 30 to extend or retract into the push-in member 20. When a clearance fit between the ejector 30 and the front frame 62 is required, the second push portion 31 can be retracted into the push-in member 20 under human control or the action of other components. This prevents interference between the second push portion 31 and the front frame 62, ensuring that the server handle can pass over the front frame 62. Furthermore, when the ejector 30 is required to apply force to the raised portion 61, the second push portion 31 can extend out of the push-in member 20, positioned in the path of the raised portion 61 and engaging the outer side of the raised portion 61.

[0068] In this embodiment, the server handle further includes a first reset member 40, which can be a component such as a spring. The first reset member 40 is disposed between the push-in member 20 and the ejector 30 and is capable of abutting against the push-in member 20, thereby providing a reset force for the second push portion 31 to move in the direction of extending out of the push-in member 20. Thus, when the ejector 30 needs to clear the front frame 62, a person manually presses the push-in member 20, causing the push-in member 20 to compress the first reset member 40 and retract into the push-in member 20, thereby clearing the front frame 62. When the ejector 30 passes through the front frame 62, the front frame 62 limits the position of the ejector 30, preventing the ejector 30 from extending out of the push-in member 20. When the ejection member 30 passes over the front frame 62, the front frame 62 no longer limits the ejection member 30. At this time, the ejection member 30 can automatically extend out of the pushing member 20 under the action of the first reset member 40, thereby switching to the second force application state. The ejection member 30 can then abut and cooperate with the protrusion 61, so that the server 70 can be pulled out.

[0069] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, a plurality refers to at least two.

[0070] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0071] By providing a push-in member 20 and a push-out member 30, and cooperating with the protrusion 61 on the box body, the first push part 21 and the second push part 31 can cooperate with the protrusion 61. During installation and disassembly, one of the first push part 21 and the second push part 31 can be used to abut against the protrusion 61, so that it applies force to the protrusion 61, thereby utilizing the interaction between the push part and the protrusion 61 to achieve the effect of driving the server 70 into and out of the box. At the same time, in addition to being able to have a contact and force-applying relationship with the protrusion 61, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can also avoid the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62, that is, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can be switched to a state of avoiding the protrusion 61 and the front frame 62. In this way, when pushing the server 70 into the box, the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can be operated so that the two avoid the front frame 62 and the protrusion 61 on the box, so that the first pushing part 21 and the second pushing part 31 can smoothly pass over the front frame 62, and the first pushing part 21 can smoothly pass over the protrusion 61. Then, the first pushing part 21 changes its position and can be in contact with the inner side surface of the protrusion 61. At this time, the operator applies force to the pushing member 20 so that the first pushing part 21 is in contact with the inner side surface of the protrusion 61. The reaction of the protrusion 61 to the pushing member 20 can be used to enable the pushing member 20 to drive the server 70 further into the box, thereby achieving the effect of installing the server 70 into the box. When the server 70 needs to be pulled out, the second pushing portion 31 is switched to a position where it abuts against the protrusion 61. Since the second pushing portion 31 abuts against the outer side of the protrusion 61, turning the server handle at this time can cause the second pushing portion 31 and the protrusion 61 to abut against each other. The reaction force of the protrusion 61 on the second pushing portion 31 can drive the server 70 to move toward the outside of the box, thereby achieving the removal of the server 70. The above arrangement can utilize the cooperation between the server handle and the protrusion 61 to achieve the effect of driving the server 70 into and out of the box, reducing the installation difficulty for personnel and making it convenient and quick. At the same time, since both the push-in member 20 and the ejection member 30 cooperate with the protrusion 61, it is unnecessary to set a groove or other structure on the box, thereby reducing the space occupied by the protrusion 61 and the space occupied by the front end components of the box, thereby ensuring the overall structural strength of the box.
