Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server technology, specifically to an electromagnetically fixed server mounting bracket and its method. Background Technology

[0002] In computer manufacturing, server mounting brackets are typically installed on the outside of servers to facilitate easy installation and mounting of the servers onto racks. However, existing server mounting brackets have a relatively simple structure. Mounting the server requires screws to engage with the brackets, making installation and removal cumbersome and hindering convenient setup and disassembly. Furthermore, in confined spaces, the tools used for installation and disassembly are often limited by space constraints, making it inconvenient to operate the brackets and screws, further impacting efficiency. Screws may also loosen, affecting the server's stability. Moreover, over time, the screws may become difficult to tighten, hindering disassembly. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an electromagnetically fixed server mounting bracket and its method to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0005] An electromagnetically fixed server mounting ear includes a mounting ear body, the mounting ear body being fixedly disposed at both ends of a device support plate strip, the device support plate strip being fixedly installed on the server body, and the server body being fixedly installed on the frame by means of the mounting ear body;

[0006] Electromagnetic fixing components are symmetrically installed at both ends of the device support plate strip, and a fixing and mating component is provided on the machine frame. The electromagnetic fixing components and the fixing and mating component cooperate to fix the server body.

[0007] An electromagnetic drive mechanism is installed on the ear hook body, and the electromagnetic drive mechanism is driven by an electromagnetic fixing component;

[0008] The electromagnetic drive mechanism is connected to a reinforcing fixing mechanism, which fixes the electromagnetic fixing component and strengthens its connection with the server body.

[0009] The electromagnetic drive mechanism is also connected to a server auxiliary fixing mechanism, which can assist in fixing the server body.

[0010] Preferably, the electromagnetic fixing component is an electromagnet, the upper end of which is provided with an upper limit insertion hole, and the side of the electromagnet is also provided with a reinforcing insertion hole.

[0011] Preferably, the reinforcing fixing mechanism cooperates with the upper limit socket to achieve the first layer of fixing of the electromagnet.

[0012] Preferably, the reinforcing fixing mechanism cooperates with the reinforcing insertion hole to achieve a second layer of fixation for the electromagnet.

[0013] Preferably, the fixing and mating component is a mating iron plate, and the electromagnet is attracted to the mating iron plate to fix the server body.

[0014] Preferably, the electromagnetic drive mechanism is a movable support plate, on which an adsorption iron plate is fixedly mounted. The electromagnet drives the movable support plate to move by adsorbing the adsorption iron plate.

[0015] Preferably, the reinforcing and fixing mechanism includes a receiving strip and a movable reinforcing plate, wherein the movable bearing plate drives the receiving strip to move;

[0016] A reinforcing stabilizing block is fixedly installed on the receiving plate strip, and the reinforcing stabilizing block cooperates with the reinforcing insertion hole.

[0017] Preferably, a downward reinforcing column is fixedly provided on the movable reinforcing plate, and the receiving plate strip drives the movable reinforcing plate to move, so that the downward reinforcing column on the movable reinforcing plate cooperates with the upper limit insertion hole.

[0018] Preferably, the server auxiliary fixing mechanism is a movable reinforcing strip, which cooperates with the matching iron plate.

[0019] An electromagnetic fixing method includes the following steps:

[0020] Step 1: Positioning the electromagnet: Position the electromagnet on the support plate of the device body;

[0021] Step 2: Positioning the server unit: Position the server unit on the rack;

[0022] Step 3: Fixing the electromagnet to the server body: Power on the electromagnet, which will move the movable support plate. In turn, the movable support plate will move the supporting strip and the movable reinforcing plate, thus achieving a fixed connection between the electromagnet and the server body.

[0023] Step 4: Fixing the server body: After the electromagnet is energized, it is attracted to the mating iron plate. At the same time, the moving support plate drives the movable reinforcing strip to move, further strengthening the fixation of the server body.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a reasonable structural design and strong functionality, and has the following advantages:

[0025] 1. An electromagnet is installed on the mounting ears of the server body. The server is fixed by the attraction between the electromagnet and the matching iron plate on the frame. The operation is very simple. Just press the switch to power on the electromagnet to complete the fixed installation of the server. No tools are needed, which greatly improves the efficiency of server installation and removal. Moreover, the electromagnetic fixation is stable and efficient, and it is very convenient to use.

[0026] 2. After the electromagnet is energized, it will also move the movable support plate, causing the movable support plate to move towards the electromagnet. As the movable support plate moves, it will drive the supporting plate strip to move, causing the reinforcing stabilizing block on the supporting plate strip to be inserted into the reinforcing socket on the electromagnet, strengthening the connection between the electromagnet and the server body. Furthermore, as the supporting plate strip moves, it will also drive the movable reinforcing plate to move downward, causing the downward reinforcing post on the movable reinforcing plate to be inserted into the upper limit socket on the electromagnet, further strengthening the connection between the server body and the electromagnet.

[0027] 3. In addition, after the electromagnet is energized, it attracts the mating iron plate, thus achieving electromagnetic fixation of the server. At the same time, as the moving support plate moves, it will also drive the movable reinforcing strip to move, so that the connecting column on the movable reinforcing strip can be inserted into the plug hole. In this way, the cooperation between the connecting column and the plug hole can further enhance the firmness of the server body installation. When it is necessary to disassemble the server body, simply turn off the power to the electromagnet to unlock the server body. Moreover, the electromagnet is also in the unlocked state when the power is off, which makes it easy to quickly remove the electromagnet. When it malfunctions, it is convenient to repair or replace it. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] This invention provides a technical solution:

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, an electromagnetically fixed server mount includes a mount body 11, which is fixedly disposed at both ends of a support plate 1.

The electromagnetic drive mechanism is also connected to a server auxiliary fixing mechanism, which can assist in fixing the server body 2.

[0043] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a supporting upright 12 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the ear-mount body 11, and a limiting top plate 13 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the supporting upright 12. A through channel 14 is opened on the ear-mount body 11, and a supporting inner plate 15 is fixedly installed in the through channel 14. A bearing member 151 is fixedly installed on the supporting inner plate 15, and a limiting block 152 is fixedly installed on the bearing member 151.

A conductive post 171 is fixedly installed on the plate 17, and a downward convex guide plate 18 is fixedly installed on the device support strip 1 on the lower side of the connecting plate 17. An inner support groove 181 is opened on the downward convex guide plate 18, and support connecting holes 182 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the inner support groove 181.

The push switch 19 is connected to a wire 191, and the other end of the wire 191 is connected to a power supply in the prior art.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 9 As shown, the electromagnetic fixing component is an electromagnet 4. The upper end of the electromagnet 4 is provided with an upper limit insertion hole 41, and a reinforcing insertion hole 42 is also provided on one side of the electromagnet 4. The reinforcing fixing mechanism cooperates with the upper limit insertion hole 41 to achieve the first layer of fixing of the electromagnet 4. The lower end of the electromagnet 4 is also provided with a mating cavity hole 43, and a conductive hole 44 is provided in the mating cavity hole 43. When the electromagnet 4 is installed on the support plate strip 1 of the device body, the mating connecting plate 17 is inserted into the mating cavity hole 43, and the conductive post 171 is inserted into the conductive hole 44 at this time. The mating connecting plate 17 is in contact with the inner wall of the mating cavity hole 43.

[0045] The strengthening fixing mechanism works in conjunction with the strengthening insertion hole 42 to achieve the second layer of fixing of the electromagnet 4.

[0046] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the fixed fitting component is a fitting iron plate 31. The electromagnet 4 is attracted to the fitting iron plate 31 to fix the server body 2. A guide channel 32 is provided on the fitting iron plate 31. Insertion holes 33 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the guide channel 32. When the server body 2 is positioned on the frame 3, the convex guide plate 18 is inserted into the guide channel 32.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the electromagnetic drive mechanism is a movable support plate 5, on which an adsorption iron plate 53 is fixedly installed. The electromagnet 4 drives the movable support plate 5 to move by adsorbing the adsorption iron plate 53. The movable support plate 5 has a movable guide hole 51, in which a support rod 151 is inserted. A return spring 52 is sleeved on the support rod 151, and the two ends of the return spring 52 are fixed on the movable support plate 5 and the inner support plate 15, respectively. A lower connecting bar 54 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable support plate 5. A first cooperating connecting rod 55 is hinged on the lower connecting bar 54, and a second cooperating connecting rod 56 is symmetrically hinged at the lower end of the lower connecting bar 54.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the reinforcing fixing mechanism includes a receiving strip 6 and a movable reinforcing plate 7. The movable bearing plate 5 drives the receiving strip 6 to move. A reinforcing stabilizing block 62 is fixedly installed on the receiving strip 6. The reinforcing stabilizing block 62 cooperates with the reinforcing insertion hole 42. A connecting strip 61 is fixedly installed on the receiving strip 6. The connecting strip 61 is hinged to the other end of the first cooperating connecting rod 55. A bearing cooperating rod 63 is also fixedly installed on the receiving strip 6. The bearing cooperating rod 63 is inserted into the assembly through hole 16. A connecting vertical strip 64 is fixedly installed at the other end of the bearing cooperating rod 63. A connecting carrier strip 65 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the connecting vertical strip 64. A connecting support column 66 is fixedly installed between the connecting carrier strips 65.

[0049] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 11 As shown, a downward reinforcing column 72 is fixedly installed on the movable reinforcing plate 7. The receiving strip 6 drives the movable reinforcing plate 7 to move, so that the downward reinforcing column 72 on the movable reinforcing plate 7 cooperates with the upper limit insertion hole 41. A limiting through hole 71 is opened on the movable reinforcing plate 7, and a receiving upright 12 is inserted into the limiting through hole 71. An extended support strip 73 is also fixedly installed on the movable reinforcing plate 7. A downward driving frame 74 is fixedly installed on the extended support strip 73. A connecting support column 66 is inserted into the downward driving frame 74, and the connecting support column 66 contacts the inner wall of the downward driving frame 74.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, the server auxiliary fixing mechanism is a movable reinforcing bar 8, which cooperates with the mating iron plate 31. One end of the movable reinforcing bar 8 is hinged to the second mating connecting rod 56. The movable reinforcing bar 8 is located in the inner bearing groove 181. One end of the movable reinforcing bar 8 is provided with a bearing channel 81, in which a supporting inner rod 183 is inserted. The other end of the movable reinforcing bar 8 is fixedly provided with a connecting column 82, which is inserted into the supporting connecting hole 182.

[0051] An electromagnetic fixing method includes the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Positioning of electromagnet 4: Position electromagnet 4 on the support plate 1 of the device body;

[0053] Step 2: Positioning of Server Body 2: Position server body 2 on rack 3;

[0054] Step 3: Fixing the electromagnet 4 to the server body 2: Power on the electromagnet 4, which will drive the movable support plate 5 to move. In turn, the movable support plate 5 will drive the supporting strip 6 and the movable reinforcing plate 7 to move, thus achieving a fixed connection between the electromagnet 4 and the server body 2.

[0055] Step 4: Fixing the server body 2: After the electromagnet 4 is energized, it is attracted to the mating iron plate 31. At the same time, the moving support plate 5 drives the movable reinforcing strip 8 to move, further strengthening the fixation of the server body 2.

[0056] During the installation of the server body 2, the electromagnet 4 is first positioned at both ends of the support plate 1, that is, the mating cavity 43 on the electromagnet 4 is fitted onto the mating connecting plate 17, and the conductive post 171 is inserted into the conductive hole 44. Then, the server body 2 is positioned on the frame 3, that is, the lower convex guide plate 18 is inserted into the guide channel 32, so that the electromagnet 4 contacts the mating iron plate 31, completing the positioning of the server body 2. At this time, the press switch 19 is pressed to energize the electromagnet 4. When the electromagnet 4 is energized, it will generate magnetic force. When the electromagnet 4 generates magnetic force, it will attract the mating iron plate 31, thereby fixing the server body 2 on the frame 3. As the electromagnet 4 is energized, the magnetic force it generates will also... The movable support plate 5 is attracted, which in turn moves it towards the electromagnet 4. As the movable support plate 5 moves, the first connecting rod 55 moves the supporting plate 6 towards the electromagnet 4, causing the reinforcing stabilizing block 62 on the supporting plate 6 to insert into the reinforcing socket 42 on the electromagnet 4, forming a tight fit and achieving the first layer of fixed connection between the server body 2 and the electromagnet 4. When the supporting plate 6 moves towards the electromagnet 4, the connecting support column 66 on the supporting plate 6 is inserted into the downward drive frame 74 on the movable reinforcing plate 7. Therefore, when the supporting plate 6 moves, the connecting support column 66 and the downward drive frame 74 work together to move the movable reinforcing plate 7 downwards. This allows the downward reinforcing post 72 on the movable reinforcing plate 7 to be inserted into the upper limit insertion hole 41 on the electromagnet 4, with the downward reinforcing post 72 contacting the inner wall of the upper limit insertion hole 41. This cooperation between the downward reinforcing post 72 and the upper limit insertion hole 41 further strengthens the fixed connection between the server body 2 and the electromagnet 4, ensuring the robustness of the connection between the electromagnet 4 and the server body 2. Furthermore, when the movable support plate 5 moves towards the electromagnet 4, the second connecting rod 56 will also move the movable reinforcing strip 8, causing the connecting post 82 on the movable reinforcing strip 8 to be inserted into the insertion hole 33 on the matching iron plate 31, further strengthening the fixed connection between the server body 2 and the frame 3. This ensures the secure installation of the server body 2. When disassembly of the server body 2 is required, simply de-energize the electromagnet 4. The electromagnet 4 loses its magnetism and will no longer attract the mating iron plate 31 and the adsorption iron plate 53. Under the action of the return spring 52, the movable support plate 5 will move in the opposite direction to reset. As the movable support plate 5 moves in the opposite direction, the movable reinforcing strip 8 will move in the opposite direction under the action of the second mating link 56. This will cause the connecting column 82 to exit the insertion hole 33, leaving the server body 2 completely unlocked. The server body 2 can then be removed from the frame 3. Simultaneously, the reset of the movable support plate 5 will also cause the supporting plate 6 to reset under the action of the first mating link 55.As the receiving plate 6 resets, the reinforcing stabilizing block 62 disengages from the mating cavity 43. Simultaneously, with the cooperation of the connecting support column 66 and the downward driving frame 74, the movable reinforcing plate 7 moves upward, causing the downward pressing reinforcing column 72 to disengage from the upper limit insertion hole 41. This ensures that the electromagnet 4 is fully unlocked. This design allows for quick installation and removal of the electromagnet 4 when it malfunctions and requires maintenance, facilitating maintenance work for personnel.
