Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication equipment installation technology, and in particular to server mounting racks. Background Technology

[0002] Typically, an Internet data center refers to a facility with sophisticated equipment, professional management, and a comprehensive application service platform. The servers in a data center are installed in racks. Currently, the equipment within these racks is vertically stacked to save space, resulting in relatively high racks. When installation or maintenance of equipment located high up on the racks is required, workers need to use ladders, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and inconvenient for the installation and maintenance of equipment within the racks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a server mounting rack that facilitates the installation and maintenance of equipment in the rack.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a server mounting rack is provided, comprising: a rack and an adjustment device, wherein the rack has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction that are mutually perpendicular to each other, the third direction being the height direction of the rack; the adjustment device includes two rotating plates and at least two sets of first mounting components, the two rotating plates being rotatably connected to the rack and enabling the rotating plates to rotate around the first direction; the first mounting components have a first bearing surface for mounting a server, and the first mounting components are rotatably connected to the rotating plates around the first direction; wherein the adjustment device has a first state and a second state, the rotating plates rotating relative to the rack to allow the adjustment device to switch between the first state and the second state; when the adjustment device is in the first state, the position where the rotating plates are connected to the rack is located in the lower region of the rotating plates, and at least two sets of first mounting components are spaced apart along the third direction; when the adjustment device is in the second state, at least two sets of first mounting components are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0005] The server mounting rack of the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: Servers and other equipment are mounted on a first bearing surface. Since the first mounting component can rotate relative to the adjusting device around a first direction, when the adjusting plate rotates around the first direction, that is, when the adjusting device switches between a first state and a second state, the first bearing surface of the first mounting component remains parallel to the horizontal plane under its own weight. This reduces the risk of servers and other equipment slipping and being damaged on the first mounting component when the adjusting device switches between different states, ensuring that the first mounting component can mount servers and other equipment. When the adjusting device is in the first state, at least two sets of adjusting devices are spaced apart along a third direction, that is, at least two sets of first mounting components are stacked along the height direction. When the adjusting device is in the second state, at least two sets of first mounting components are spaced apart along a second direction, that is, at least two sets of first mounting components are arranged in a horizontal plane. Since the rotating plate is rotatably connected to the rack, the position where the rotating plate is connected to the rack is the rotation center of the rotating plate relative to the rack, and the rotating plate rotates around the position where the rotating plate is connected to the rack. Since the adjustment device is in the first state, the connection between the rotating plate and the rack is located in the lower region of the rotating plate. This causes the first mounting assembly to rotate and descend around the rotation center of the rotating plate when the rotating plate rotates relative to the rack. When the adjustment device changes from the first state to the second state, the rotating plate rotates around the first direction, causing the first mounting assembly to rotate and descend around the rotation center of the rotating plate. This changes the arrangement of at least two sets of first mounting assemblies from a stacked arrangement along the height direction to a horizontal arrangement, reducing the height of at least two sets of first mounting assemblies relative to the rack. This facilitates the installation and maintenance of servers and other equipment on the first mounting assemblies, reduces the difficulty of installing and maintaining equipment on the rack, and saves labor.

[0006] According to the server mounting rack of the present invention, the rack is respectively mounted with two side walls along the first direction, and the rotating plate is connected to the rotating shaft in a one-to-one correspondence.

The elastic members are sleeved at both ends of the slide rod, and the two ends of the elastic members respectively abut against the positioning block and the end face of the movable member. A handle is provided at one end of the movable member near the elastic member. Both ends of the connecting rod are fixedly connected to the two fixed seats.

[0014] According to the server mounting rack of the present invention, the side walls of the rack are respectively provided with a first limiting block and a second limiting block. When the adjustment device is in the first state, the rotating plate abuts against the first limiting block, and when the adjustment device is in the second state, the rotating plate abuts against the second limiting block.

[0041] In existing technologies, an Internet data center refers to a facility with complete equipment, professional management, and a comprehensive application service platform. However, the servers in a data center are installed in mounting racks. Currently, the equipment within these racks is vertically stacked to save space, resulting in relatively high racks. When installation or maintenance of equipment located high on the racks is required, workers need to use ladders, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and inconvenient for the installation and maintenance of equipment within the server mounting racks. Therefore, some embodiments of this invention propose mounting racks, specifically referring to… Figures 1 to 9 The server mounting rack is described.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Embodiments of the present invention provide a server mounting rack, including a rack 100 and an adjustment device 200. The rack 100 has a first direction, a second direction, and a third direction that are mutually perpendicular, wherein the third direction is the height direction of the rack 100, i.e., the third direction is the vertical direction. The adjustment device 200 includes two rotating plates 210 and at least two sets of first mounting components 220. The two rotating plates 210 are respectively rotatably connected to the rack 100, and the rotating plates 210 are able to rotate around the first direction, i.e., the adjustment device 200 is able to rotate relative to the rack 100 and around the first direction. The first mounting components 220 have a first bearing surface for mounting a server. The first mounting components 220 are rotatably connected to the rotating plates 210, and the first mounting components 220 are able to rotate relative to the rotating plates 210 and around the first direction.

[0043] It is understood that the equipment installed on the first bearing surface can be a server or other equipment in an Internet data center, etc., and this application does not limit it here.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of the present invention, the adjusting device 200 has a first state and a second state. The adjusting device 200 switches between the first state and the second state when the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the frame 100 and about a first direction. Since the rotating plate 210 is rotatably connected to the frame 100, the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the frame 100 is the rotation center of the rotating plate 210 relative to the frame 100. When the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the frame 100, it rotates around this rotation center, that is, around the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the frame 100. Since the adjusting device 200 is in the first state, the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the frame 100 is located in the lower region of the rotating plate 210, causing the first mounting assembly 220 to rotate and descend around the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the frame 100 when the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the frame 100.

[0045] It is understandable that when the adjustment device 200 is in the first state, at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are spaced apart along a third direction, that is, at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are stacked along the height direction. When the adjustment device 200 is in the second state, at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are spaced apart along a second direction, that is, at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are arranged in a horizontal plane. When the adjustment device 200 changes from the first state to the second state, the rotating plate 210 rotates around the first direction, causing the first mounting components 220 to rotate and descend around the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the rack 100, changing the stacking of at least two sets of first mounting components 220 from the height direction to the horizontal arrangement, reducing the height of at least two sets of first mounting components 220 relative to the rack 100, facilitating the installation and maintenance of servers and other equipment on the first mounting components 220, reducing the difficulty of installing and maintaining equipment in the server mounting rack, and saving labor.

[0046] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Understandably, when the rotating plate 210 rotates around the first direction, the first mounting component 220 can rotate relative to the rotating plate 210. Under the action of its own weight, the first bearing surface remains parallel to the horizontal plane, reducing the risk of servers and other equipment on the first mounting component 220 slipping and being damaged, thus improving the safety of the equipment on the first mounting component 220. Simultaneously, after the adjustment device 200 transitions from the first state to the second state, it can directly install and maintain servers and other equipment on the first bearing surface without requiring manual adjustment of the first bearing surface's level, simplifying operation and improving convenience.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the rack 100 is rotatably mounted with two sidewalls along the first direction, and the rotating shafts 110 are rotatable relative to the rack 100. A rotating plate 210 is connected to each rotating shaft 110 in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the rotating plate 210 can rotate relative to the rack 100 and around the first direction. It is understood that the rotating shaft 110 is the position where the rotating plate 210 is connected to the rack 100. Since the rotating shaft 110 is located below the first mounting assembly 220, that is, the rotation center of the rotating plate 210 relative to the rack 100 is located below the first mounting assembly 220, when the adjusting device 200 changes from the first state to the second state, the rotating plate 210 rotates around the first direction, causing at least two sets of first mounting assemblies 220 to rotate and descend around the rotating shaft 110, thereby reducing the height of each first mounting assembly 220 relative to the rack 100 and lowering the installation and maintenance difficulty of servers and other equipment on the first mounting assembly 220. Since in the first state, the rotating shaft 110 of the adjusting device 200 is located below the first mounting assembly 220 and the rotating shaft 110 is located at the lower part of the rotating plate 210, the structural distribution on the rotating plate 210 is optimized, and the energy loss of driving the rotating plate 210 to rotate is reduced.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of the present invention, the rotating plate 210 is provided with a shaft hole 212, the rotating shaft 110 passes through the shaft hole 212, and the rotating shaft 110 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 210. On the same rotating plate 210, the connection points of each first mounting component 220 and the rotating plate 210 are all located on the same straight line at the center of the rotating shaft 110, that is, the rotation centers of each first mounting component 220 and the rotating plate 210 relative to the frame 100 are all located on the same straight line, so that when the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the frame 100, vibration and shaking caused by eccentricity are reduced, and the stability of the rotating plate 210 during rotation is improved.

[0049] It is understood that the frame 100 and the rotating plate 210 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 110. This connection can be achieved by the rotating shaft 110 being rotatable relative to the frame 100, with a bearing between the rotating shaft 110 and the frame 100. The rotating shaft 110 passes through a shaft hole 212 in the rotating plate 210 and is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 210, thus enabling the rotating plate 210 to rotate relative to the frame 100. Alternatively, as in some other embodiments of the present invention, the rotating shaft 110 is fixedly connected to the frame 100, passes through the shaft hole 212, and a bearing is provided between the rotating shaft 110 and the rotating plate 210, allowing the rotating plate 210 to rotate relative to the rotating shaft 110, thereby enabling the rotating plate 210 to rotate relative to the frame 100. The specific connection method for the rotatable connection between the frame 100 and the rotating plate 210 via the rotating shaft 110 can be selected according to the actual application, and this application does not limit it here.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the first mounting assembly 220 includes a first mounting plate 221 and two side brackets 222. The upper surface of the first mounting plate 221 is a first bearing surface, i.e., equipment such as servers is mounted on the upper surface of the first mounting plate 221. Along a third direction, the lower ends of the two side brackets 222 are respectively fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 221, and the two side brackets 222 are located at both ends of the first mounting plate 221 along the first direction. The upper ends of the side brackets 222 are rotatably connected to a rotating plate 210, so that the side brackets 222 can rotate relative to the rotating plate 210 and around the first direction, thereby driving the first mounting plate 221 to rotate around the first direction. Understandably, when the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the rack 100, since the upper end of the side frame 222 is rotatably connected to the rotating plate 210, under the weight of the first mounting component 220 itself, the upper surface of the first mounting plate 221 always remains parallel to the horizontal plane, reducing the risk of servers and other equipment installed on the first mounting plate 221 slipping and being damaged, reducing the risk of poor contact of servers and other equipment due to the tilt of the first bearing surface, and improving the stability and reliability of the first mounting component 220.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, the two rotating plates 210 are respectively provided with mounting shafts 211. The center of the mounting shaft 211 is the connection point between the first mounting component 220 and the rotating plate 210. The number of mounting shafts 211 is the same as the number of side plates. The upper end of the side frame 222 is provided with a connecting sleeve 223. The connecting sleeve 223 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the mounting shaft 211 in a one-to-one correspondence. The connecting sleeve 223 can rotate relative to the mounting shaft 211, so that the side frame 222 can rotate relative to the rotating plate 210, thereby enabling the first mounting component 220 to rotate relative to the rotating plate 210.

[0052] It is understood that the connecting sleeve 223 can rotate relative to the mounting shaft 211. This can be achieved either by directly fitting the connecting sleeve 223 onto the outer circumference of the mounting shaft 211, or by connecting the connecting sleeve 223 and the mounting shaft 211 via a bearing. The specific manner in which the connecting sleeve 223 rotates relative to the mounting shaft 211 can be selected based on the actual application, and this application does not impose any limitations on it.

[0053] It is understandable that the connection between the mounting shaft 211 and the connecting sleeve 223 enables the connection between the side frame 222 and the rotating plate 210. On the same rotating plate 210, the number of mounting shafts 211 is the same as the number of first mounting components 220, and each mounting shaft 211 is correspondingly connected to each first mounting component 220.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 It is understandable that when the adjusting device 200 is in the first state, since the rotating shaft 110 passes through the shaft hole 212, the shaft hole 212 is located at the connection point between the rotating plate 210 and the frame 100. Since the mounting shaft 211 and the connecting sleeve 223 are rotatably connected, the center of the mounting shaft 211 is the connection point between the first mounting assembly 220 and the rotating plate 210. On the same rotating plate 210, the shaft hole 212 is located in the lower region of the rotating plate 210, so that the rotating shaft 110 is located in the lower region of the rotating plate 210, thereby ensuring that the connection point between the rotating plate 210 and the frame 100 is located in the lower region of the rotating plate 210. The shaft hole 212 is located below the mounting shaft 211, so that the rotating shaft 110 is located below the first mounting assembly 220. The centers of each mounting shaft 211 and the center of the rotating shaft 110 are all on the same straight line, so that the connection points of each first mounting assembly 220 and the rotating plate 210, and the center of the rotating shaft 110, are all on the same straight line.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4In some embodiments of the present invention, the server mounting rack proposed in this invention further includes a clamping assembly 300. The clamping assembly 300 is fixed to the rotating plate 210 and located at one end of the rack 100 along a second direction. The clamping assembly 300 is detachably connected to the rack 100. When the adjustment device 200 is in the first state, since the clamping assembly 300 is fixed to the rotating plate 210 and connected to the rack 100, the clamping assembly 300 prevents the rotating plate 210 from rotating relative to the rack 100, that is, prevents the adjustment device 200 from rotating relative to the rack 100, so that the adjustment device 200 is kept in the first state, improving the structural stability of the adjustment device 200 and reducing the risk of the adjustment device 200 rotating relative to the rack 100 due to external interference. When the adjustment device 200 needs to be changed from the first state to the second state, the clamping assembly 300 is detached from the rack 100. At this time, the rotating plate 210 can rotate relative to the rack 100, and the clamping assembly 300 does not prevent the adjustment device 200 from changing between different states.

[0056] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly 300 includes a fixed base 310 and a movable member 320. The fixed base 310 is fixed to the rotating plate 210 and has a mounting hole 311. The movable member 320 passes through the mounting hole 311 and can move along the mounting hole 311. The inner wall of the frame 100 has an adjustment groove 101. The movable member 320 can pass through the mounting hole 311 to insert into or detach from the adjustment groove 101, thereby enabling the clamping assembly 300 to be detachably connected to the frame 100. Both the mounting hole 311 and the adjustment groove 101 extend in a first direction. When the movable member 320 passes through the mounting hole 311 and inserts into the adjustment groove 101, the movable member 320 prevents the rotating member from rotating relative to the frame 100, and thus prevents the adjustment device 200 from rotating relative to the frame 100, so that the adjustment device 200 is kept in a first state, improving the structural stability and reliability of the adjustment device 200 and reducing the risk of the adjustment device 200 rotating relative to the frame 100 due to external interference. When the moving part 320 passes through the mounting hole 311 and disengages from the adjusting groove 101, that is, when the moving part 320 does not obstruct the rotation of the rotating plate 210, the rotating plate 210 can rotate relative to the frame 100. At this time, the adjusting device 200 can switch between the first state and the second state.

[0057] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8In some embodiments of the present invention, the two side walls of the frame 100 along the first direction, i.e., the two opposing side walls of the frame 100, are respectively provided with adjustment grooves 101, and the openings of the two adjustment grooves 101 are arranged facing each other. Two fixed seats 310 and two movable members 320 are each provided, and they are detachably connected to the adjustment grooves 101 in a one-to-one correspondence. That is, the movable members 320 are inserted into or detached from the corresponding adjustment grooves 101 through the mounting holes 311 in a one-to-one correspondence. The two fixed seats 310 are respectively fixed to the two rotating plates 210. Since the two adjustment slots 101 are located on two opposite side walls of the frame 100, and the two fixed seats 310 are respectively fixed to the two rotating plates 210, when the two sets of moving parts 320 pass through the mounting holes 311 and are inserted into the corresponding adjustment slots 101, the two sets of moving parts 320 respectively hinder the rotation of the two rotating plates 210 relative to the frame 100, thereby improving the force balance of the adjustment device 200, optimizing the stress distribution of the adjustment device 200, and preventing the failure of one set of fixed seats 310 and moving parts 320 from causing the adjustment device 200 to fail to maintain the first state, thus improving the stability of the adjustment device 200 in the first state.

[0058] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, the movable member 320 is provided with a plug-in section 323, which passes through the mounting hole 311 and is inserted into the adjusting groove 101. The plug-in section 323 is movable along the mounting hole 311. Since the mounting hole 311 extends along a first direction, the plug-in section 323 can move within the mounting hole 311 along the first direction. The plug-in section 323 has a square cross-section in the vertical plane, and this square cross-section corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the mounting hole 311 in the vertical plane. By having corresponding cross-sectional shapes in the vertical plane, the mounting hole 311 can guide the movement of the plug-in section 323 along the first direction, reducing the risk of the plug-in section 323 rotating relative to the mounting hole 311 during movement and improving the stability of the movable member 320 moving along the mounting hole 311.

[0059] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8In some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly 300 further includes a slide rod 330, a connecting rod 350, and two elastic members 340. The slide rod 330 extends along a first direction and is located between two sets of movable members 320. One end of each movable member 320 near the slide rod 330 has a sliding groove 321, in which the slide rod 330 passes. The slide rod 330 is inserted and can move along the sliding groove 321, meaning that both ends of the slide rod 330 are respectively inserted into the sliding grooves 321 of the two sets of movable members 320. A positioning block 331 is provided in the middle of the slide rod 330, located between the two sets of movable members 320. Two elastic members 340 pass through both ends of the slide rod 330, located between the movable member 320 and the positioning block 331. One end of the elastic member 340 abuts against the positioning block 331, and the other end abuts against the end face of the moving member 320 near the slide bar 330, so that the elastic member 340 can provide the moving member 320 with a spring force toward the adjusting groove 101 in the first direction.

[0060] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 Understandably, when the two sets of moving parts 320 are adjusted to move closer to each other along the first direction, the slide bar 330 moves relative to the moving parts 320 along the sliding groove 321. The two sets of moving parts 320 compress the two sets of elastic parts 340 respectively. The insertion section 323 of the moving parts 320 passes through the mounting hole 311 and disengages from the adjustment groove 101. The moving parts 320 do not obstruct the rotation of the rotating plate 210. At this time, the adjustment device 200 can switch from the first state to the second state. If the two sets of moving parts 320 are released at this time, the compressed elastic parts 340 reset and generate elastic force. Under the action of this elastic force, the two sets of moving parts 320 move away from each other along the first direction, so that the two sets of moving parts 320 pass through the two mounting holes 311 one by one and are inserted into the two adjustment grooves 101 of the frame 100. At this time, the rotating plate 210 cannot rotate relative to the frame 100, and the adjustment device 200 remains in the first state. By adjusting the two sets of moving parts 320 to move closer to each other, the two sets of moving parts 320 respectively compress the two sets of elastic parts 340, so that the moving parts 320 are disengaged from the adjustment groove 101; then, by releasing the two sets of moving parts 320 and releasing the compressed elastic parts 340, the elastic parts 340 reset and generate elastic force, driving the two sets of moving parts 320 to be inserted into the adjustment groove 101 respectively, realizing the detachable connection of the moving parts 320 to the adjustment groove 101 of the frame 100, improving the ease of operation of adjusting the detachable connection of the moving parts 320 to the frame 100. Since the elastic parts 340 provide elastic force to the moving parts 320 in the first direction toward the adjustment groove 101, the moving parts 320 can remain inserted into the adjustment groove 101, reducing the risk of the moving parts 320 disengaging from the adjustment groove 101 under external force interference, and improving the stability of the moving parts 320 inserted into the adjustment groove 101.

[0061] Reference Figure 6In some embodiments of the present invention, the movable component 320 is provided with a handle 322, which is located at the end of the movable component 320 near the elastic member 340. By adjusting the two handles 322 to move closer to each other in a first direction, the two sets of movable components 320 are driven to move closer to each other in the first direction, thereby improving the ease of operation for adjusting the movement of the movable component 320. The two ends of the connecting rod 350 are respectively fixedly connected to two fixed seats 310 to connect the two fixed seats 310 into one unit. When the clamping assembly 300 is installed on the frame 100, since the connecting rod 350 connects the two fixed seats 310 into one unit, the movable component 320 can be directly installed on the fixed seat 310. This allows the slide rod 330 and the elastic member 340 to be pre-installed on the movable component 320. That is, the clamping assembly 300 can be assembled into one unit first, and then the clamping assembly 300 can be installed on the adjusting device 200, simplifying the installation process and improving the efficiency of installing the clamping assembly 300 on the adjusting device 200.

[0062] Reference Figure 8 It is understandable that when the adjustment device 200 is in the first state, if the adjustment device 200 needs to be switched to the second state, the two handles 322 are adjusted to move closer to each other in the first direction, which drives the two sets of moving parts 320 to move closer to each other in the first direction. The slide bar 330 moves along the sliding groove 321, and the two sets of moving parts 320 respectively compress the two sets of elastic parts 340. The two sets of moving parts 320 are respectively disengaged from the two adjustment grooves 101. The moving parts 320 do not obstruct the rotation of the rotating plate 210. The adjustment device 200 can rotate relative to the frame 100 and enter the second state. When the adjustment device 200 is in the second state, after the installation and maintenance of the server and other equipment on the first mounting component 220 are completed, and it is necessary to switch the adjustment device 200 to the first state, the adjustment device 200 is rotated relative to the rack 100, and the two handles 322 are adjusted to move closer to each other in the first direction, so that the two sets of moving parts 320 are driven into the mounting holes 311. After the adjustment device 200 is rotated to the first state, the two sets of handles 322 are released so that the compressed springs are reset and generate elastic force, which drives the moving parts 320 to move closer to the adjustment slot 101 in the first direction, and the moving parts 320 are inserted into the adjustment slot 101 so that the adjustment device 200 is kept in the first state.

[0063] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the sidewalls of the frame 100 are respectively provided with a first limiting block 102 and a second limiting block 103. The first limiting block 102 and the second limiting block 103 are respectively located at both ends of the frame 100 along a second direction, and along a third direction, the first limiting block 102 is located above the second limiting block 103. When the adjusting device 200 is in the first state, the rotating plate 210 abuts against the first limiting block 102. Along the second direction, the rotating plate 210 is located between the first limiting block 102 and the clamping assembly 300 to prevent the rotating plate 210 from rotating relative to the frame 100, so that the adjusting device 200 is kept in the first state, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the adjusting device 200 in the first state. When the adjusting device 200 is in the second state, the rotating plate 210 abuts against the second limiting block 103, thereby keeping the adjusting device 200 in the second state, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the adjusting device 200 in the second state.

[0064] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the rack 100 is provided with a heat dissipation assembly 400, which includes a ventilation duct 410 and a cooling fan. The ventilation duct 410 is located at one end of the rack 100 away from the clamping assembly 300 in a second direction. The ventilation duct 410 has an air duct extending in a third direction. The lower end of the ventilation duct 410 is connected to the cooling fan. The ventilation duct 410 is provided with a ventilation opening 411, which connects the ventilation opening 411 to the interior of the rack 100, that is, the ventilation opening 411 connects the air duct of the ventilation duct 410 to the interior of the rack 100. Since the vent 411 connects the air duct of the ventilation pipe 410 to the interior of the rack 100, and the ventilation pipe 410 is connected to the cooling fan, the cooling fan can draw the hot air inside the rack 100 into the ventilation pipe 410 through the vent 411 and then discharge it to the outside, thereby carrying the heat inside the rack 100 to the outside, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of servers and other equipment inside the rack 100, and reducing the risk of overheating failure of servers and other equipment inside the server mounting rack proposed in this invention.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, it is understood that at least two ventilation ducts 410 are provided, and the at least two ventilation ducts 410 are spaced apart along a first direction. At least two ventilation openings 411 are provided on the ventilation ducts 410, and the at least two ventilation openings 411 are spaced apart along a third direction. Since there are at least two ventilation ducts 410 and at least two ventilation openings 411, the heat dissipation efficiency of servers and other equipment in the rack 100 is further improved.

[0066] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the lower end of the frame 100 is provided with a mounting groove 120, the lower end of the ventilation pipe 410 extends into and communicates with the mounting groove 120, the air duct of the ventilation pipe 410 communicates with the mounting groove 120, and the opening of the mounting groove 120 is located at the end of the frame 100 away from the ventilation pipe 410 along the second direction. The cooling fan is installed in the mounting groove 120. The hot air drawn by the cooling fan from the frame 100 is discharged into the mounting groove 120 and discharged to the outside through the opening of the mounting groove 120. By directly mounting the cooling fan on the frame 100, the length of the cooling fan connected to the ventilation port 411 is shortened, and the airflow conduction efficiency is improved. A heat dissipation mesh plate 121 is installed at the opening of the mounting groove 120, and the hot air absorbed by the cooling fan can be discharged to the outside through the heat dissipation mesh plate 121, so as to isolate the cooling fan from the outside world, reduce the possibility of external pollutants entering the mounting groove 120, and thus reduce the risk of damage caused by external pollutants entering the cooling fan.

[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, the rack 100 is provided with a second mounting assembly 500, which includes a guide rail 510 and a second mounting plate 520. The upper surface of the second mounting plate 520 is a second bearing surface for mounting servers and other equipment. The guide rail 510 is fixed to the inner wall of the rack 100 and extends along a second direction. The two ends of the second mounting plate 520 are slidably connected to the guide rail 510, meaning that the second mounting plate 520 can slide relative to the guide rail 510 along the second direction. When it is necessary to install and maintain servers and other equipment on the second mounting plate 520, the second mounting plate 520 is pulled along the second direction to pull it out of the rack 100, facilitating the installation and maintenance of servers and other equipment on the second mounting plate 520 and reducing the operational difficulty of installing and maintaining servers and other equipment.

[0068] Reference Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the frame 100 is provided with a third limiting block 104, which is located at the end of the guide rail 510 near the ventilation pipe 410. The third limiting block 104 can prevent the second mounting plate 520 from moving towards the ventilation pipe 410 in the second direction, thereby determining the mounting position of the second mounting plate 520 on the frame 100, preventing the second mounting plate 520 from detaching from the frame 100 while moving towards the ventilation pipe 410 in the second direction, and ensuring the structural stability of the second mounting plate 520 within the frame 100.

[0069] It is understood that in some embodiments of the present invention, the second mounting component 500 is provided in at least two sets, and the at least two sets of the second mounting components 500 are spaced apart along a third direction. The specific number of the second mounting components 500 can be set according to the actual application, and this application does not limit it here.

[0070] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 9 In some embodiments of the present invention, heat sinks 600 are provided on the lower surfaces of both the first mounting plate 221 and the second mounting plate 520, and the heat sinks 600 extend in a third direction. Since heat sinks 600 are provided on the lower surfaces of both the first mounting plate 221 and the second mounting plate 520, the contact area between the first mounting plate 221 and the second mounting plate 520 and the air is increased, improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the first mounting plate 221 and the second mounting plate 520. This, in turn, improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment within the rack 100, reduces the risk of overheating failure of the equipment inside the server mounting rack proposed in this invention, and improves the reliability of the server mounting rack.

[0071] In summary, in some embodiments of the server mounting rack proposed in this invention, the adjustment device 200 has a first state and a second state. The adjustment device 200 switches between the first and second states by adjusting the rotation of the rotating plate 210 relative to the rack 100. When the adjustment device 200 is in the first state, the connection between the rotating plate 210 and the rack 100 is located in the lower region of the rotating plate 210, and at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are stacked along the height direction. When the adjustment device 200 is in the second state, at least two sets of first mounting components 220 are arranged horizontally. When the adjustment device 200 changes from the first state to the second state, the rotating plate 210 rotates relative to the rack 100, causing at least two sets of first mounting components 220 above the rotation center of the rotating plate 210 to rotate and descend. This changes the stacking of the at least two sets of first mounting components 220 along the height direction to a horizontal arrangement, reducing the height of the at least two sets of first mounting components 220. This facilitates the installation and maintenance of servers and other equipment on the first mounting components 220, reduces the difficulty of installing and maintaining equipment on the rack 100, and saves labor.
