Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of network equipment, and in particular to a server cabinet. Background Art

[0002] A server is a high-performance computer used to process network requests and provide services. It has higher configuration than ordinary computers and is equipped with a processor, large-capacity memory and high-speed storage devices. Servers are usually installed in server cabinets because server cabinets have a standardized frame structure that can accommodate and protect servers and related network equipment. They are usually made of metal and have a sturdy shell, which can provide physical protection for the equipment to prevent accidental collisions, dust intrusion, etc.

[0003] The server cabinet with pull-out trays has a reasonable internal space layout, which facilitates the orderly installation of servers, switches, routers and other equipment according to height. The servers can be reasonably stacked and deployed in the rack through the pull-out trays, which can maximize the use of limited space and increase rack density, thereby carrying more computing devices in the same area. At the same time, the stacking design helps to optimize airflow organization. Combined with heat dissipation technologies such as hot and cold channel closure, it can improve heat dissipation efficiency, reduce equipment operating temperature, and ensure system stability. In addition, this layout facilitates centralized management and batch operations, simplifies wiring, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0004] However, when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the front operating space required for pulling out the pull-out tray horizontally is often not guaranteed. Technicians may face the situation where the tray cannot be pulled out completely, or even if it is pulled out with difficulty, they cannot insert or remove the hard disk due to insufficient front operating space, which restricts the deployment flexibility of the server and the efficiency of on-site maintenance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application provides a server cabinet to at least solve the problem in the related art that when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the front operating space required for pulling out the pull-out tray horizontally cannot be guaranteed.

[0006] The present application provides a server cabinet, comprising: a cabinet body having a storage cavity; a plurality of groups of columns arranged at intervals in the storage cavity; a plurality of bracket mechanisms horizontally arranged at intervals on the plurality of groups of columns in the height direction, each of the bracket mechanisms comprising a tray rack; a plurality of tray assemblies slidably arranged on the plurality of tray racks in the length direction, each of the tray assemblies being configured to carry a hard disk and having a first state of sliding along the length direction and a second state of being suspended from the outer end of the tray rack in the height direction.

[0007] Through the present application, since the tray assembly can be slidably arranged on the tray rack in the length direction, the tray assembly is pulled along the length direction, so that the tray assembly switches from the first state to the second state in which it is suspended in the height direction from the outer end of the tray rack. When the tray assembly is in the second state, there is no need to reserve operating space in front of the server cabinet, and technicians can complete the insertion and removal of hard drives. Therefore, it can solve the technical problem that when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the front operating space required for horizontal pulling out of the tray assembly cannot be guaranteed, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the deployment adaptability and maintenance convenience in a narrow server cabinet environment.

[0027] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0028] It should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," and the like, indicating positions or relationships, are based on the positions or relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplification of the present application. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present application. The terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, and may include, for example, fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. The terms "parallel," "perpendicular," and "equal" encompass the described conditions and conditions similar to the described conditions, provided that the range of the similar conditions is within an acceptable range of deviation, as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes both absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes both absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes both absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate equality may be, for example, that the difference between the two is less than or equal to 5% of either. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] The prior art provides an assembly structure for a server cabinet, comprising a cabinet body and a bracket, wherein the bracket is disposed in the inner cavity of the cabinet body, the inner cavity of the bracket being movably connected to a tray, the left and right sides of the tray being provided with a device slot, and the inner cavity of the device slot being movably connected to a movable tooth block. By providing a limit device, a limit shell, teeth, a spring and the limit slot in coordination with each other, a solution is provided for the problem that the existing server cabinet is equipped with accessories such as a tray, a power strip, casters and a cable organizer, wherein the bracket is usually disposed in the inner cavity of the server cabinet, and the surface of the bracket is provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and the tray is installed in a suitable position of the bracket by means of bolt connection according to the size of the electrical components. When installing the tray, it is necessary to continuously rotate a plurality of bolts to the suitable position, and this installation method takes a long time and is not convenient enough. However, the existing server cabinet does not solve the problem of a component for conveniently installing the tray.

[0030] The prior art also provides a server storage frame and storage server, which have a horizontal tray layout. This solution sets up a hard disk backplane partition space in the shell, and horizontally places multiple layers of trays in the separated first accommodating cavity. This horizontal tray layout solution does not take into account layout optimization in space-constrained scenarios, such as cabinets with limited depth and cabinets close to the wall. In this case, the server is deployed in a relatively small space, and the front operating space required for horizontally pulling out the tray is often not guaranteed. The technician may face the situation where the tray cannot be fully pulled out, or even if it is barely pulled out, the hard disk cannot be plugged in and out due to insufficient front operating space, which restricts the deployment flexibility and on-site maintenance efficiency of the server.

[0031] In order to solve the problem that when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the front operating space required for pulling out the pull-out tray horizontally cannot be guaranteed, according to the inventive concept of one aspect of the present application, a server cabinet is provided, wherein the cabinet body of the server cabinet has a accommodating cavity, multiple groups of columns are arranged at intervals in the accommodating cavity, and multiple bracket mechanisms are horizontally arranged at intervals on the multiple groups of columns in the height direction, each bracket mechanism includes a tray rack, and multiple tray assemblies are slidably arranged on the multiple tray racks in the length direction, each tray assembly is configured to carry a hard disk, and each tray assembly has a first state of sliding along the length direction and a second state of hanging from the outer end of the tray rack in the height direction. Since the tray assembly can be slidably arranged on the tray rack in the length direction, the tray assembly can be pulled along the length direction, so that the tray assembly switches from a first state to a second state in which it is suspended in the height direction from the outer end of the tray rack. When the tray assembly is in the second state, there is no need to reserve operating space in front of the server cabinet, and technicians can complete the insertion and removal of hard drives. Therefore, it can solve the technical problem that when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the front operating space required for horizontally pulling out the tray assembly cannot be guaranteed, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the deployment adaptability and maintenance convenience in a small server cabinet environment.

[0032] 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.

[0033] Figure 1 A three-dimensional diagram of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 An exploded view of parts of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] The embodiment of the present application provides a server cabinet, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the server cabinet includes a cabinet body 1, multiple groups of columns 2, multiple bracket mechanisms, and multiple tray assemblies 5. The cabinet body 1 has a storage cavity. Multiple groups of columns 2 are arranged at intervals within the storage cavity. Multiple bracket mechanisms are horizontally arranged at intervals in the height direction on the multiple groups of columns 2, and each bracket mechanism includes a tray rack 4. Multiple tray assemblies 5 are slidably arranged on the multiple tray racks 4 in the length direction. Each tray assembly 5 is configured to carry a hard disk 11 and has a first state of sliding along the length direction and a second state of hanging from the outer end of the tray rack 4 in the height direction.

[0035] According to the embodiment of the present application, the height direction is the extension direction of the column 2 (ie, Figure 1 The Z direction is shown in the figure), the length direction is Figure 1 The Y direction is shown in the figure, and the width direction is Figure 1 In the X direction shown in Figure 1 The X, Y, and Z directions are orthogonal to each other.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present application, each group of columns 2 extends in the height direction, and the multiple groups of columns 2 are arranged in the accommodating cavity at intervals in the length direction. The multiple bracket mechanisms are horizontally arranged on the multiple groups of columns 2 at intervals in the height direction.

[0037] According to the embodiment of the present application, since the tray assembly 5 can be slidably arranged on the tray rack 4 in the length direction, the tray assembly 5 is pulled along the length direction, so that the tray assembly 5 switches from the first state to the second state in which it is suspended in the height direction from the outer end of the tray rack 4. When the tray assembly 5 is in the second state, the hard disk 11 is installed on the tray assembly 5. At this time, there is no need to reserve operating space in front of the server cabinet, and the technician can complete the plugging and unplugging of the hard disk 11. Therefore, it can solve the technical problem that when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the tray assembly 5 cannot be completely pulled out in the length direction, or even if the tray assembly 5 can be barely pulled out in the length direction, the hard disk 11 cannot be plugged and unplugged due to insufficient operating space in front of the server cabinet, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the deployment adaptability and maintenance convenience in a narrow server cabinet environment.

[0038] Figure 3 A partial perspective view of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application shows a tray rack and a tray assembly in a first state.

[0039] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, each tray rack 4 includes a first mounting portion 41, two first support arms 42, and two slide rails 44. The first mounting portion 41 is mounted to the inner end of the bracket mechanism. The two first support arms 42 extend longitudinally from the first mounting portion 41. The two slide rails 44 are mounted on the inner sides of the two first support arms 42 to slidably support the tray assembly 5.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present application, the first mounting portion 41 includes a main body portion and a supporting portion. The main body portion is mounted on the inner end portion of the bracket mechanism. The supporting portion extends from the first mounting portion 41 along the length direction and is located between the two first support arms 42.

[0041] According to an embodiment of the present application, two slide rails 44 are respectively installed on the inner sides of the two first support arms 42, and both slide rails 44 extend along the length direction to slidingly support the tray assembly 5, so that the tray assembly 5 can slide along the length direction on the two slide rails 44.

[0042] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, each slide rail 44 includes a mounting plate 440 and a support plate 441. The mounting plate 440 is mounted on the first support arm 42 and extends in the longitudinal direction. The support plate 441 is connected to the mounting plate 440 and extends away from the first support arm 42 in the width direction, allowing the tray assembly 5 to slide in the longitudinal direction on the support plate 441.

[0043] According to an embodiment of the present application, the mounting plate 440 is mounted on the first support arm 42, the support plate 441 is connected to the mounting plate 440 and extends away from the first support arm 42 in the width direction, and each slide rail 44 is configured to be substantially L-shaped. The support plates 441 of the two slide rails 44 are capable of slidably supporting the tray assembly 5.

[0044] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 As shown, each tray assembly 5 includes a main body 51, two hooks 52 and two reversing protrusions. The two support edges of the main body 51 in the width direction are slidably supported on the two support plates 441, and the main body 51 is configured to carry the hard disk 11. The two hooks 52 are respectively mounted on the inner ends of the two support edges and extend in the width direction to slidably abut against the mounting plate 440. Each hook 52 includes a guide plate 520 extending in the length direction and spaced apart from the support plate, and a reversing plate bent from the inner end of the guide plate 520 toward the support plate 441. The two reversing protrusions are respectively mounted on the outer ends of the two mounting plates 440. Each reversing protrusion is configured to guide the main body 51 to switch from the first state to the second state when the main body 51 slides until the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 passes over the upper part of the reversing protrusion and the reversing plate abuts against the reversing protrusion.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present application, the two supporting edges of the main body 51 located in the width direction extend upward in the height direction to limit the position of the hard disk 11 carried on the main body 51, and the bottoms of the two supporting edges are slidably supported on the two support plates 441.

[0046] According to an embodiment of the present application, the two hooks 52 are respectively installed on the inner ends of the two supporting edges through fixing members, and the fixing members can be, for example, bolts.

[0047] According to an embodiment of the present application, the guide plate 520 and the support plate 441 are arranged at intervals, and one side of the guide plate 520 is slidably abutted against the mounting plate 440, and there is a gap between the supporting edges on both sides of the main body 51 and the two mounting plates 440 respectively. When the technician pulls the main body 51 to slide, the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 is slidably abutted against the mounting plate 440 under the drive of the main body 51, and the guide plate 520 first passes over the upper part of the reversing protrusion, and then the reversing plate abuts against the reversing protrusion. At this time, the gaps between the supporting edges on both sides of the main body 51 and the two mounting plates 440 respectively provide an accommodating space for the reversing protrusion.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present application, a handle is further provided on the surface of the main body 51 so that a technician can switch the main body 51 from the first state to the second state by holding the handle.

[0049] Figure 4 A partial three-dimensional view of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application shows a reversing wheel, a gear, a drive mechanism and a lighting device. Figure 5 A partial perspective view of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application shows a tray rack and a tray assembly in a second state.

[0050] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, each reversing protrusion is provided with a reversing wheel 53 , and each reversing plate is constructed into an arc shape that matches the reversing wheel 53 .

[0051] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, when the main body 51 slides until the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 passes over the upper portion of the reversing wheel 53 and the curved reversing plate abuts the reversing wheel 53, the reversing wheel 53 can guide the main body 51 to switch more smoothly from the first state to the second state. When the main body 51 is in the second state, the curved reversing plate is hooked on the outer side of the reversing wheel 53 and can limit the height position of the main body 51 in the second state.

[0052] Figure 6 A partial three-dimensional view of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application shows a hook, gears, a drive mechanism and a lighting device.

[0053] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, a limiting protrusion is provided at the outer end of each mounting plate 440 , and the hook 52 is located between the limiting protrusion and the reversing protrusion.

[0054] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the main body 51 slides until the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 passes over the upper portion of the reversing protrusion, the guide plate 520 is located between the limiting protrusion and the reversing protrusion, and the limiting protrusion can limit the height movement of the guide plate 520. When the reversing plate 521 abuts the reversing protrusion and the main body 51 switches from the first state to the second state, the reversing plate 521 is located between the limiting protrusion and the reversing protrusion, and the limiting protrusion can limit the height movement of the reversing plate 521, thereby limiting the height movement of the main body 51.

[0055] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, the outer sides of the guide plate 520 and the reversing plate 521 of each hook 52 are provided with toothed portions. Each limiting protrusion is provided with a gear 54 meshing with the toothed portion, so that the gear 54 rotates under the drive of the hook 52.

[0056] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the main body 51 slides to the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 and passes over the upper part of the reversing protrusion, the guide plate 520 is located between the gear 54 and the reversing protrusion. On the one hand, the gear 54 can limit the movement of the guide plate 520 in the height direction, and on the other hand, it can engage with the toothed portion on the outside of the guide plate 520 and rotate under the drive of the toothed portion on the outside of the guide plate 520, thereby ensuring the stable sliding of the guide plate 520.

[0057] According to an embodiment of the present application, when the reversing plate 521 abuts against the reversing protrusion and the main body 51 switches from the first state to the second state, the reversing plate 521 is located between the gear 54 and the reversing protrusion. On the one hand, the gear 54 can limit the movement of the reversing plate 521 in the height direction, thereby limiting the movement of the main body 51 in the height direction. On the other hand, the gear 54 can engage with the toothed portion on the outer side of the reversing plate 521 and rotate under the drive of the toothed portion on the outer side of the reversing plate 521, thereby ensuring that the main body 51 stably switches from the first state to the second state.

[0058] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figures 1 to 6As shown, the server cabinet further includes one or two lighting devices 6 and one or two drive mechanisms 55. The one or two lighting devices 6 are rotatably mounted on two mounting plates 440 or the first support arm 42 above the tray assembly 5. The one or two drive mechanisms 55 are configured to trigger the lighting devices 6 to emit light in response to the rotation of the gear 54, thereby illuminating the surface of the main body 51 in the second state in the height direction.

[0059] According to an embodiment of the present application, one or two lighting devices 6 are rotatably mounted on two mounting plates 440 or the first support arm 42 above the tray assembly 5 via a rotating shaft.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present application, the driving mechanism 55 triggers the lighting device 6 to emit light as the gear 54 rotates. After the lighting device 6 is triggered to emit light, it illuminates the surface of the main body 51 in the second state in a direction along the height direction, which can ensure the visual operation of the technician in a dark light environment and significantly improve the maintenance efficiency and accuracy of the hard disk 11 in the server cabinet.

[0061] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 6 As shown, each driving mechanism 55 includes a movable rack 550 and a driving portion 551. The movable rack 550 is slidably mounted on the mounting plate 440 or the first support arm 42 and extends in the longitudinal direction. The movable rack 550 is engaged with the gear 54, so that the gear 54 is rotated by the toothed portion, and the movable rack 550 moves in the longitudinal direction toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440. The driving portion 551 extends downward from the outer end of the movable rack 550 toward the lighting device 6. When the movable rack 550 moves toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440, it rotates the lighting device 6 and triggers the lighting device 6 to emit light.

[0062] According to the embodiment of the present application, the toothed portion of the movable rack 550 simultaneously drives the gear 54 to rotate, while simultaneously moving longitudinally toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440. As the movable rack 550 moves toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440, the driving portion 551 drives the illuminating device 6 to rotate axially about the rotation axis, triggering the illuminating device 6 to emit light. The coordinated design of the hook 52, the reversing wheel 53, the gear 54, and the driving mechanism 55 achieves the automated coordinated action of longitudinal movement of the main body 51, rotation of the illuminating device 6, and triggering of light emission.

[0063] According to an embodiment of the present application, electrical contacts are provided in the mounting plate 440 or the first support arm 42, and the electrical contacts are electrically connected to an external power supply device. When the movable rack 550 does not move along the length direction toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440, the contacts on the rotating shaft of the lighting device 6 do not contact the electrical contacts provided in the mounting plate 440 or the first support arm 42, and the lighting device 6 does not emit light. When the movable rack 550 moves along the length direction toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440, the driving part 551 drives the lighting device 6 to rotate around the axial direction of the rotating shaft when the movable rack 550 moves toward the inner end of the mounting plate 440. The rotating shaft connected to the lighting device 6 rotates under the drive of the lighting device 6, and the contacts on the rotating shaft rotate until they contact the electrical contacts provided in the mounting plate 440 or the first support arm 42, forming a closed circuit. At this time, the external power supply device supplies power to the lighting device 6, and the lighting device 6 emits light.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present application, the server cabinet further includes a magnetic member 7. The magnetic member 7 is disposed on the first mounting portion 41 to maintain the main body 51 in the second state through magnetic force.

[0065] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic member 7 is constructed as a column, which is arranged at the bottom of the supporting portion of the first mounting portion 41 and extends from the supporting portion in the length direction. A magnet is installed at the end of the magnetic member 7 to adsorb the main body 51 that is suspended in the height direction from the outer ends of the two support plates 441 through magnetic force, so that the main body 51 can be stably maintained in the second state, so that the technician can install the hard disk 11 on the main body 51. Therefore, when the server is deployed in a relatively small space, the technician can complete the plugging and unplugging of the hard disk 11 without reserving operating space in front of the server cabinet. And by keeping the main body 51 stably in the second state by the magnetic member 7, the vibration caused to the main body 51 by accidental shaking of the server cabinet or accidental closing of the cabinet door of the server cabinet can be prevented, ensuring the safety of the technician when plugging and unplugging the hard disk 11.

[0066] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the server cabinet further includes a power supply device 8 , which is installed on a side of the first installation portion 41 away from the two first support arms 42 . The power supply device 8 is suitable for supplying power to the hard disk installed on the main body 51 .

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present application, the power supply device 8 may be, for example, a power supply device (such as a battery).

[0068] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the server cabinet further includes a wire feed plate 9, which is mounted on the first mounting portion 41 and located between the two first support arms 42. The wire feed plate 9 has a wire feed slot extending along the width direction to allow the cable connected between the hard disk 11 and the power supply device 8 to pass through, thereby electrically connecting the hard disk 11 and the power supply device 8.

[0069] According to the embodiment of the present application, a wire routing plate 9 is provided on the tray rack 4, which can realize modular wiring management, keep the cables inside the server cabinet neat and orderly, realize the partitioned storage of cables between the hard disk 11 and the power supply device 8, avoid the influence of cable entanglement on airflow organization, maintain the optimized heat dissipation duct in the server cabinet, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency in the server cabinet.

[0070] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, each bracket mechanism further includes a bracket 3 mounted on a column 2 , and a tray rack 4 mounted on the bracket 3 .

[0071] According to an embodiment of the present application, the bracket 3 can be mounted on the column 2 by snapping, and the tray rack 4 can be mounted on the bracket 3 by snapping, which can limit the position of the tray rack 4 on the bracket 3.

[0072] According to an embodiment of the present application, each tray rack 4 further includes two operating members 43 , each of which is mounted on the first support arm 42 and an outer end of the bracket 3 .

[0073] According to an embodiment of the present application, one end of the two operating members 43 is connected to the side opposite to the two first support arms 42, and the other ends of the two operating members 43 extend in the opposite width direction and are connected to the outer end portion of the bracket 3 to fix the tray rack 4 on the bracket 3, so that when the technician pulls the tray assembly 5 along the length direction, it can be ensured that the main body 51 can slide smoothly on the tray rack 4.

[0074] According to the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of columns 2 include two first columns 21, two second columns 22, and two third columns 23. The two first columns 21 are connected to the inner end of each bracket 3. The two second columns 22 are arranged parallel to the two first columns 21 at intervals in the longitudinal direction. The two third columns 23 are arranged parallel to the two second columns 22 at intervals in the longitudinal direction.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present application, the buffer device 10 may be, for example, an elastic member, specifically, a spring.

[0088] According to the embodiment of the present application, when installing a hard drive 11, a technician first adjusts the relative position of the bracket 3 and the two second posts 22, then places the tray rack 4 and tray assembly 5 on the bracket 3. The technician then pushes the tray rack 4 lengthwise, engaging the first mounting portion 41 of the tray rack 4 with the second mounting portion 31 of the bracket 3 while inserting the first protrusion 33 on the second mounting portion 31 of the bracket 3 into the through-holes 210 of the two first posts 21. At this point, the two first posts 21, the two second posts 22, and the two third posts 23 jointly support the bracket 3, ensuring the stability of the tray rack 4 and tray assembly 5 on the bracket 3 within the server cabinet. The technician then pulls the tray assembly 5 lengthwise out of the tray rack 4. When the main body 51 slides until the guide plate 520 of the hook 52 passes over the top of the reversing wheel 53 and the reversing plate 521 abuts the reversing wheel 53, the reversing wheel 53 guides the main body 51 from the first position to the second position. At this point, hook 52 is positioned between reversing wheel 53 and gear 54. Driven by hook 52, gear 54 rotates, and the movable rack 550 of drive mechanism 55 engages with gear 54, allowing it to move longitudinally toward the inner end of mounting plate 440 while guide plate 520 and reversing plate 521 drive gear 54. As movable rack 550 moves toward the inner end of mounting plate 440, drive portion 551 of drive mechanism 55 rotates and triggers illumination device 6 to illuminate. Main body 51 is ultimately secured by magnetic element 7. At this point, main body 51 is in its second position, vertically overhanging the outer end of tray rack 4. This position occupies less space longitudinally. Furthermore, due to the illumination of main body 51's surface from the vertical direction by illumination device 6, a technician can easily install hard drive 11 on main body 51 and then insert cables through the wire routing slots of wire routing plate 9 for storage. After completing installation of hard drive 11, the technician simply repositions main body 51. In deployment scenarios with limited depth or against a wall, technicians can complete the insertion and removal of hard disk 11 without reserving operating space in front of the server cabinet, significantly improving the deployment adaptability and maintenance convenience of the narrow server cabinet environment, breaking through space limitations and improving operational flexibility.

[0089] According to the embodiment of the present application, the plug-in installation structure of the bracket 3 and the two second columns 22, combined with the precise guidance of the two third columns 23, greatly shortens the installation time of the single-layer bracket mechanism and the tray assembly 5, and cleverly integrates the sliding, flipping, locking, lighting, wiring and other functions into the tray assembly 5. The linkage design of the hook 52, the reversing wheel 53, the gear 54, and the drive mechanism 55 realizes the automated coordinated action of the movement of the main body 51 and the rotation and locking of the lighting device 6. The structure inside the server cabinet is compact and efficient, taking into account both functional and space efficiency.
