Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically a data storage server rack. Background Technology
[0002] Data storage server racks are the core physical infrastructure in data centers or professional computer rooms used to centrally install, organize, protect, and manage multiple data storage servers and related network equipment. You can think of them as a "high-strength apartment building" designed specifically for sophisticated electronic equipment, providing a safe, stable, and controllable operating environment for valuable storage hardware.
[0003] In existing technologies, data storage server racks consist of a frame structure, external enclosure, power supply and distribution system, and heat dissipation system. The frame structure, the skeleton of the rack, is typically constructed from high-quality cold-rolled steel or aluminum alloy. It mainly includes a top frame, a bottom frame, and four vertical columns. The external enclosure includes lockable front and rear doors and removable side panels. The doors are usually made of perforated steel mesh or glass, ensuring good ventilation and heat dissipation while allowing easy observation of the equipment's operating status. The side panels facilitate in-depth installation and maintenance operations by engineers. The power supply and distribution system typically integrates one or more PDUs (Power Distribution Units) within the rack. These act like advanced power strips, vertically mounted at the rear of the rack, providing multiple power interfaces. Intelligent PDUs can achieve advanced functions such as remote power switching and current / voltage monitoring, serving as the "energy heart" of the rack. The heat dissipation system is responsible for providing good heat dissipation for the components within the rack, preventing heat buildup and overheating.
[0004] However, existing data storage server racks lack mechanisms for securing cables. When servers need to be removed from the rack for maintenance, cables must be unplugged. This causes unsecured cables to easily slide down to the bottom of the rack under their own weight. When the servers are repaired and reconnected, the cables need to be searched again, making server maintenance more time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a data storage server rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a data storage server cabinet, comprising: a cabinet body, a cabinet door rotatably connected to one end of the cabinet body, a back panel movably connected to the other end of the cabinet body, a plurality of partitions fixed on the inner wall of the cabinet body, a component mounting seat provided on the partition, a telescopic rod movably inserted into the component mounting seat, a cable fixing rod fixed to one end of the telescopic rod, the other end of the cable fixing rod fixed to another set of telescopic rods, a spring sleeved on the telescopic rod, and a spring plate provided at the other end of the telescopic rod.
[0007] Preferably, the partition plate has several sets of component mounting slots, the component mounting slots are rectangular slot structures, the component mounting bases are rectangular block structures, and several sets of component mounting bases are provided, with the several sets of component mounting bases being movably inserted into the several sets of component mounting slots respectively.
[0008] Preferably, the bottom end of the partition is rotatably connected to a component mounting screw, and the bottom end of the component mounting seat is provided with a component mounting screw groove. The component mounting screw groove has a circular groove structure, and the component mounting screw is rotatably inserted into the component mounting screw groove.

[0010] Preferably, the telescopic rod has a rectangular rod structure, and a spring plate is provided at one end of the telescopic rod that extends into the telescopic groove. The spring plate has a circular plate structure, and the diameter of the spring plate is equal to the diameter of the telescopic groove. One end of the spring abuts against the inner wall of the telescopic groove, and the other end of the spring abuts against the spring plate.
[0011] Preferably, the telescopic rod has a spring plate mounting screw groove, which is a circular groove structure. A spring plate screw is rotatably connected to the spring plate and is rotatably inserted into the spring plate mounting screw groove. The inner wall of the spring plate mounting screw groove has an internal thread, and the shank of the spring plate screw has an external thread.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The data storage server cabinet proposed in this invention allows for the following steps when installing the data storage server: The cabinet door is opened, the back panel is removed from the cabinet, and the data storage server is installed on the partition. The cable fixing rod is then pulled away from the partition, causing the telescopic rod and spring plate to move in the same direction, compressing the spring. The cable is then passed from bottom to top through the partition and between the cable fixing rod, and plugged into the server. The cable fixing rod is then released, and the spring pushes the spring plate back to its original position, causing the cable fixing rod to move back towards the partition, thus clamping the cable between the partition and the cable fixing rod. When the server needs to be removed from the cabinet for maintenance, the cable remains clamped by the partition and cable fixing rod after being pulled out, preventing it from falling. Furthermore, after long-term use, when the spring elasticity decreases, the component mounting base can be removed, the spring plate removed, and the spring replaced. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clear and complete, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of the present invention, and are merely illustrative of the embodiments of the present invention. They are not intended to limit 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.
[0020] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 The present invention provides a technical solution: a data storage server rack, comprising: a rack body 1, a rack door 2 rotatably connected to one end of the rack body 1, a back panel 3 movably connected to the other end of the rack body 1, a plurality of partitions 4 fixed on the inner wall of the rack body 1, a component mounting seat 6 provided on the partition 4, a telescopic rod 7 movably inserted into the component mounting seat 6, a cable fixing rod 8 fixed to one end of the telescopic rod 7, the other end of the cable fixing rod 8 fixed to another set of telescopic rods 7, a spring 11 sleeved on the telescopic rod 7, and a spring plate 10 provided at the other end of the telescopic rod 7.
[0021] When deploying the data storage server in cabinet 1, open cabinet door 2, remove back panel 3 from cabinet 1, and then install the data storage server onto partition 4. Next, pull cable fixing rod 8 away from partition 4. The movement of cable fixing rod 8 causes telescopic rod 7 and spring plate 10 to move in the same direction, compressing spring 11. Then, pass the cable from bottom to top between partition 4 and cable fixing rod 8 and plug it into the server. Release cable fixing rod 8, and spring 11 pushes spring plate 10 back to its original position, causing cable fixing rod 8 to move back towards partition 4, thus clamping the cable between partition 4 and cable fixing rod 8. When the server needs to be removed from cabinet 1 for maintenance, the cable remains clamped by partition 4 and cable fixing rod 8 after being pulled from the server, preventing the cable from falling. Furthermore, after long-term use, when the elasticity of spring 11 decreases, component mounting base 6 can be removed, spring plate 10 can be removed, and spring 11 can be replaced.
[0022] Example 2: Based on Example 1, in order to replace the spring 11, the partition 4 is provided with several sets of component mounting slots 5, which are rectangular slot structures. The component mounting base 6 is a rectangular block structure, and several sets of component mounting bases 6 are provided. The several sets of component mounting bases 6 are movably inserted into the several sets of component mounting slots 5. The bottom end of the partition 4 is rotatably connected to a component mounting screw 16. The bottom end of the component mounting base 6 is provided with a component mounting screw groove 15, which is a circular slot structure. The component mounting screw 16 is rotatably inserted into the component mounting screw groove 15. The rod of the component mounting screw 16 is provided with an external thread, and the inner wall of the component mounting screw groove 15 is provided with an internal thread. The internal thread of the component mounting screw groove 15 mates with the external thread of the component mounting screw 16. The component mounting base 6 is provided with a telescopic groove 25. The telescopic rod 7 has a circular groove structure, with one end movably inserted into the telescopic groove 25. The telescopic rod 7 has a rectangular rod structure, with a spring plate 10 at one end of the telescopic rod 7 that extends into the telescopic groove 25. The spring plate 10 has a circular plate structure, and its diameter is equal to the diameter of the groove 25. One end of the spring 11 abuts against the inner wall of the telescopic groove 25, and the other end of the spring 11 abuts against the spring plate 10. The telescopic rod 7 has a spring plate mounting screw groove 12, which has a circular groove structure. A spring plate screw 13 is rotatably connected to the spring plate 10 and is rotatably inserted into the spring plate mounting screw groove 12. The inner wall of the spring plate mounting screw groove 12 has an internal thread, and the rod of the spring plate screw 13 has an external thread. The internal thread of the spring plate mounting screw groove 12 and the external thread of the spring plate screw 13 are engaged.
[0023] Tighten the component mounting screw 16 to remove it from the component mounting screw groove 15. Then, pull the component mounting base 6 out of the component mounting groove 5. After pulling it out, tighten the spring plate screw 13 to remove it from the spring plate mounting screw groove 12. Then, remove the old spring 11 from the telescopic groove 25, insert the new spring 11 back into the telescopic groove 25, and then tighten the spring plate screw 13 back into the spring plate mounting screw groove 12 to install the spring plate 10 back onto the telescopic rod 7. Finally, reinsert the component mounting base 6 into the component mounting groove 5 and tighten the component mounting screw 16 back into the component mounting screw groove 15 to limit the component mounting base 6 in the component mounting groove 5, thus completing the replacement of the spring 11.
[0024] Example 3: Based on Example 2, in order to increase the clamping force on the cable, the cable fixing rod 8 has a "U"-shaped round rod structure, an anti-slip pad 9 is fixed on the inner side of the cable fixing rod 8, and a pull rod 14 is fixed on the outer side of the cable fixing rod 8. The pull rod 14 has an "L"-shaped plate structure.
[0025] An anti-slip pad 9 is fixed inside the cable fixing rod 8. The anti-slip pad 9 is made of foam, which is elastic and has a rough surface. When the anti-slip pad 9 is pressed against the cable surface, the rough surface of the anti-slip pad 9 can generate a large friction force on the cable. This friction force is the clamping force, thereby increasing the clamping force of the cable.
[0026] Example 4: Based on Example 3, in order to enable simultaneous operation of multiple cable fixing rods 8 on the same set of partitions 4, the partition 4 is provided with an operating rod mounting groove 17. The operating rod mounting groove 17 has a rectangular groove structure, and an operating rod 18 is movably inserted into the operating rod mounting groove 17. The operating rod 18 has a rectangular rod structure. A magnet 19 is fixed on the inner wall of the operating rod mounting groove 17. The magnet 19 has a rectangular block structure. A handle groove 20 is provided at the top of the operating rod 18. The handle groove 20 has a rectangular groove structure.
[0027] When multiple sets of cable fixing rods 8 need to be operated simultaneously, place the operating rod 18 on the side of the multiple sets of pull rods 14 near the partition 4, and then pull the operating rod 18 away from the partition 4. This will cause the operating rod 18 to drive the multiple sets of pull rods 14 to move away from the partition 4 at the same time, thus enabling simultaneous operation of multiple sets of cable fixing rods 8 on the same partition 4. After the operation is completed, insert the operating rod 18 back into the operating rod mounting slot 17. The operating rod 18 is made of a metal material that can be attracted by a magnet. After the operating rod 18 is inserted back into the operating rod mounting slot 17, it is attracted by the magnetic force of the magnet 19 and can be kept in the operating rod mounting slot 17 to prevent the operating rod 18 from being lost. When the operating rod 18 is used again, the operating rod 18 can be pulled out of the operating rod mounting slot 17 more easily by inserting a finger into the handle slot 20.
[0028] In actual use, when the data storage server is installed in cabinet 1, cabinet door 2 is opened, back panel 3 is removed from cabinet 1, and then the data storage server is installed on partition 4. Next, cable fixing rod 8 is pulled away from partition 4. The movement of cable fixing rod 8 causes telescopic rod 7 and spring plate 10 to move in the same direction, compressing spring 11. Then, the cable is passed from bottom to top between partition 4 and cable fixing rod 8 and plugged into the server. Then, cable fixing rod 8 is released, and spring 11 pushes spring plate 10 back to its original position, causing cable fixing rod 8 to move back towards partition 4, thus clamping the cable between partition 4 and cable fixing rod. Between 8; when the server needs to be removed from the cabinet 1 for maintenance, after the cable is pulled out from the server, the cable is still clamped by the partition 4 and the cable fixing rod 8, which can prevent the cable from falling; and after long-term use, when the elasticity of the spring 11 decreases, the component mounting base 6 can be removed, and then the spring plate 10 can be removed to replace the spring 11; the bottom of the cabinet 1 has a cable hole 24 for connecting the cable to other external devices, the bottom of the cabinet 1 has an air inlet 21, and the top of the back plate 3 has a heat dissipation vent 22, forming an air duct to dissipate heat for the server in the cabinet 1, and a filter screen 23 is fixed in the heat dissipation vent 22 to prevent dust or debris from entering the cabinet 1.
