[0048] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a node server according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a chassis 2, a drawer node module 1, a positioning assembly 8, an elastic member 9 and a limiting member 10;

[0049] The pull-out node module 1 can slide on the chassis 2 along the first direction X. A slot hole 11 is provided at the bottom of the pull-out node module 1. The positioning assembly 8 is fixed to the chassis 2. The elastic member 9 extends along the second direction Y. The first end of the elastic member 9 is mounted on the positioning assembly 8. The limiting member 10 is connected to the second end of the elastic member 9. When the pull-out node module 1 slides to a preset position relative to the chassis 2, the limiting member 10 can be engaged with the slot hole 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 9 to limit the movement of the pull-out node module 1 along the first direction X.

[0050] The first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other.

[0051] It should be noted that the pull-out node module 1 slides on the chassis 2 along the first direction X, and the pull-out node module 1 is pushed into the chassis 2. The bottom of the pull-out node module 1 contacts the limit member 10 and applies force to the limit member 10, and the elastic member 9 is compressed. When the pull-out node module 1 slides to the preset position relative to the chassis 2, the limit member 10 and the elastic member 9 are not subjected to the force applied by the bottom of the pull-out node module 1. The elastic member 9 rebounds and drives the limit member 10 to be clamped in the slot hole 11, limiting the movement of the pull-out node module 1 along the first direction X, thereby fixing the position between the pull-out node module 1 and the chassis 2. There is no need to manually screw in screws, and the operation is simple.

[0052] When the drawable node module 1 needs to be drawn out of the chassis 2 along the first direction X, a large pulling force is applied to the drawable node module 1 to disengage the limiting member 10 from the slot hole 11 .

[0053] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, further comprising:

[0054] The fixing plate 3 is mounted on the chassis 2 and is disposed between the drawer node module 1 and the elastic member 9. The fixing plate 3 is provided with a fixing hole 31 extending along the second direction Y;

[0055] The limiting member 10 is at least partially limited by the fixing plate 3 to the side of the fixing plate 3 facing away from the drawing node module 1 , and the elastic member 9 enables the limiting member 10 to partially pass through the fixing hole 31 and be locked in the locking slot 11 .

[0056] It should be noted that the fixing plate 3 is installed in the chassis 2 and is arranged between the pull-out node module 1 and the elastic member 9. The fixing plate 3 is provided with a fixing hole 31 extending along the second direction Y. Since the elastic member 9 extends along the second direction Y and is connected to the limiting member 10, the fixing hole 31 on the fixing plate 3 can limit the position of the limiting member 10 in the second direction Y, thereby avoiding the friction between the bottom of the pull-out node module 1 and the limiting member 10 when the pull-out node module 1 is pushed into the chassis 2, causing the limiting member 10 to shift in the first direction X. This ensures that when the pull-out node module 1 slides to a preset position relative to the chassis 2, the limiting member 10 can be clamped in the slot hole 11 under the elastic force of the elastic member 9.

[0057] When the drawable node module 1 slides to a preset position relative to the chassis 2 , the elastic member 9 , the limiting member 10 , the slot hole 11 and the fixing hole 31 are coaxially aligned in the second direction Y.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, further, the limiting member 10 is a ball, and the diameter of the ball is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 31.

[0059] It should be noted that the limiting member 10 is a ball, and the diameter of the ball is larger than the diameter of the fixing hole 31 , so that part of the ball can be limited by the fixing hole 31 and will not completely pass through the fixing hole 31 .

[0060] Preferably, the ball is made of nylon, which is smoother and has better wear resistance.

[0061] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, further, the chassis 2 includes:

[0062] Bottom plate 21;

[0063] A first side plate 22 , which is provided on an edge of the top of the bottom plate 21 ;

[0064] The second side panel 23 is arranged along the remaining edge of the top of the bottom panel 21. The second side panel 23 is connected to both ends of the first side panel 22. The first side panel 22 is provided with an opening on the side facing away from the bottom panel 21. The pull-out node module 1 can be inserted into the chassis 2 through the opening along the first direction X, and the fixing plate 3 is connected to the bottom surface of the opening.

[0065] It should be noted that the bottom plate 21, the first side plate 22 and the second side plate 23 of the chassis 2 form a space that can accommodate the pull-out node module 1. The first side plate 22 is provided with an opening on the side facing away from the bottom plate 21. The pull-out node module 1 can be inserted into the chassis 2 through the opening along the first direction X. The fixing plate 3 is connected to the bottom surface of the opening, so that when the pull-out node module 1 slides to the preset position, the slot hole 11 at the bottom of the pull-out node module 1 can be connected to the fixing hole 31 on the fixing plate 3.

[0066] A fixed node module 7 can also be installed on the bottom plate 21 of the chassis 2, so that when the node module 1 is pulled out and pushed into the chassis 2, a multi-node server with two upper and lower layers can be formed in the second direction Y.

[0067] like Figure 2-3 As shown, in this embodiment, further, the positioning component 8 includes:

[0068] A positioning member 81 is fixed to the chassis 2;

[0069] The positioning shaft 82 is installed on a side of the positioning member 81 facing the drawer node module 1 . The positioning shaft 82 extends along the second direction Y. The first end of the elastic member 9 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning shaft 82 .

[0070] It should be noted that the positioning member 81 is fixed to the chassis 2, the positioning shaft 82 is installed on the side of the positioning member 81 facing the pull-out node module 1, the positioning shaft 82 extends along the second direction Y, and the first end of the elastic member 9 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the positioning shaft 82, so that the elastic member 9 can be compressed and rebounded more stably in the second direction Y.

[0071] Preferably, the positioning shaft 82 is a positioning pin.

[0072] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, further, a mounting hole 221 extending along the first direction X is opened on the first side plate 22, and the positioning member 81 includes:

[0073] The body 811, the positioning shaft 82 is installed on a side of the body 811 facing the drawer node module 1;

[0074] Fixing ears 812, which are installed on both sides of the body 811. The fixing ears 812 are provided with threaded holes 813 corresponding to the mounting holes 221;

[0075] The screw passes through the threaded hole 813 and the mounting hole 221 .

[0076] It should be noted that the fixing ear 812 of the positioning member 81 is installed on the first side plate 22 by passing a screw through the threaded hole 813 and the mounting hole 221, so that the installation is more stable.

[0077] Preferably, the fixing ear 812 is snugly mounted on the first side panel 22 .

[0078] like Figure 1-2 , 6-7, in this embodiment, further comprising:

[0079] The upper cover 4 has a side edge provided with a folded edge 41 bent along the second direction Y. When the pull-out node module 1 slides to the preset position, the upper cover 4 is installed on the top of the chassis 2, and the folded edge 41 can abut against the outer side wall of the pull-out node module 1 to limit the pull-out node module 1 from being pulled out along the first direction X.

[0080] It should be noted that when the pull-out node module 1 slides to the preset position, the folded edge 41 of the upper cover 4 abuts against the outer wall of the pull-out node module 1, limiting the pull-out node module 1 from being pulled out along the first direction X. Even if the limiting member 10 is disengaged from the slot hole 11, the pull-out node module 1 will not slide out of the chassis 2 along the first direction X without opening the upper cover 4.

[0081] like Figure 1 、 5 As shown, in this embodiment, further, the drawer node module 1 is provided with drawer rods 5 extending along the first direction X on both sides in the third direction Z;

[0082] The chassis 2 is provided with a receiving cavity for accommodating the pull-out node module 1. The receiving cavity has sliding assemblies 6 on the two inner side walls in the third direction Z. The pull-out node module 1 cooperates with the sliding assemblies 6 through the pull-out rod 5 to be slidably connected to the chassis 2.

[0083] The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0084] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the sliding assembly 6 further includes a first roller 61 and a second roller 62 spaced apart in the second direction Y. The axial directions of the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 are parallel to the third direction Z, and the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 are rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0085] When the drawable node module 1 is inserted into the accommodating cavity, the drawable rod 5 is slidably disposed between the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 .

[0086] It should be noted that the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 are spaced apart in the second direction Y. When the pull-out node module 1 is inserted into the accommodating cavity, the pull-out rod 5 slides between the first roller 61 and the second roller 62. The first roller 61 and the second roller 62 jointly limit the pull-out rod 5 stuck therebetween, and the first roller 61 and the second roller 62 are both made of nylon or rubber. Since the rollers gently squeeze the pull-out rod 5, this type of sliding assembly 6 can effectively avoid scratching the chassis 2 and generating iron filings, thereby reducing the risk of short circuit of electronic components inside the chassis 2; the nylon roller has good wear resistance, so it is not easy to wear out under long-term friction between the pull-out rod 5, thereby extending the service life.

[0087] The first roller 61 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the first rolling shaft 611, one end of the first rolling shaft 611 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, the second roller 62 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the second rolling shaft 621, one end of the second rolling shaft 621 is connected to the inner wall of the accommodating cavity, and the first rolling shaft 611 and the second rolling shaft 621 are both rotating pins.

[0088] In this embodiment, further, a bevel 51 is provided at the top of the starting end of the pull-out rod 5 sliding between the first roller 61 and the second roller 62, so that when the pull-out node module 1 is inserted into the accommodating cavity, the bevel 51 can be used for guidance, so that the pull-out rod 5 can more smoothly dock with the slide groove formed between the first roller 61 and the second roller 62.

[0089] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, further, there are multiple groups of sliding components 6, and the multiple groups of sliding components 6 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X.

[0090] It should be noted that there are multiple groups of sliding components 6, and the multiple groups of sliding components 6 are arranged at intervals along the first direction X, so as to improve the stability of the pull-out node module 1 when inserted into the accommodating cavity and sliding along the first direction X.

[0091] The working process of the present invention is as follows: the pull-out node module 1 slides on the chassis 2 along the first direction X, and the pull-out node module 1 is pushed into the chassis 2. The bottom of the pull-out node module 1 contacts the limiter 10 and applies force to the limiter 10, and the elastic member 9 is compressed. When the pull-out node module 1 slides to a preset position relative to the chassis 2, the limiter 10 and the elastic member 9 are not subjected to the force applied by the bottom of the pull-out node module 1. The elastic member 9 rebounds and drives the limiter 10 to be clamped in the card slot hole 11, limiting the movement of the pull-out node module 1 along the first direction X, thereby fixing the position between the pull-out node module 1 and the chassis 2, without the need to manually screw in screws, and the operation is simple.

[0092] When the drawable node module 1 needs to be drawn out of the chassis 2 along the first direction X, a large pulling force is applied to the drawable node module 1 to disengage the limiting member 10 from the slot hole 11 .

[0093] In summary, the embodiment of the present invention provides a server node pull-out structure, and the pull-out node module can be fixed in position after being pushed into the interior of the chassis, and the operation is simple.

[0094] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and substitutions should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
