Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a slide rail fixing device, and more particularly to a movable slide rail fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] An existing slide rail fixing device can fix a slide rail, but most slide rails can only install server chassis of a single length. If there are multiple server chassis of different lengths, more different slide rails are needed for installation. Such a design will significantly increase the manufacturing cost and will also take a lot of time to install when installing server chassis of multiple different lengths. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a movable slide rail fixing device that can solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems.

[0004] The movable slide rail fixing device of the present invention is suitable for fixing a slide rail to a front mounting plate of a cabinet. The slide rail is fixedly mounted on the cabinet, which has a hook. The slide rail fixing device includes: a front bracket module, including a front bracket for connecting the front mounting plate and a front locking member pivotally mounted on the front bracket. The front locking member can be snapped onto the front mounting plate and has a positioning hook extending away from the front mounting plate and capable of hooking onto the hook; and a front support rail, movably connected to the front bracket and fixedly mounted on the slide rail. The front support rail can drive the slide rail and the cabinet to move relative to the front bracket, so that the hook is hooked onto the positioning hook.

[0005] In some embodiments, the front support rail has a support hook, the front bracket includes a front base plate and a second front hook formed on the front base plate, and the movable slide rail fixing device further includes a front connecting elastic member connecting the second front hook and the support hook.

[0006] In some implementations, the front connecting elastic element is a tension spring.

[0007] The present invention has at least the following advantages: the front support rail can be movably connected to the front bracket and the slide rail can be fixedly installed. The front support rail can drive the slide rail and the chassis to move relative to the front bracket, so that the hook can be engaged with the positioning hook. This design allows the slide rail to be installed with chassis of different lengths. The hook of the longer chassis can be driven by the front support rail and engaged with the positioning hook, so as to achieve the effect of positioning with the front bracket, preventing the chassis and the slide rail from sliding together, and increasing safety.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 3 According to one embodiment of the movable slide rail fixing device 10 of the present invention, a slide rail 1 is suitable for fixing a slide rail 1 between a rear mounting plate 20 and a front mounting plate 30 of a cabinet (not shown). The front mounting plate 30 has a plurality of front mounting holes 301, and the rear mounting plate 20 has a plurality of rear mounting holes 201. The slide rail 1 is fixedly mounted on a chassis 9, and the chassis 9 has a hook 91. The slide rail fixing device 10 includes a rear support rail 2, a rear bracket module 3, a front support rail 4, and a front bracket module 5.

[0024] See Figures 2 to 4 The rear bracket module 3 is adapted to connect the rear mounting plate 20 and is disposed on the rear support rail 2. The front support rail 4 is movably disposed on the rear support rail 2 and has a stop surface 41 facing the rear support rail 2, a first end 42 adjacent to the rear support rail 2, a second end 43 opposite to the first end 42 adjacent to the front bracket module 5, and a support hook 44 adjacent to the second end 43. By allowing the front support rail 4 to extend relative to the rear support rail 2, the overall length of the movable slide rail fixing device of the present invention can be changed, thereby making it suitable for cabinets of different lengths (not shown).

[0025] See Figures 5 to 7 The front bracket module 5 includes a front bracket 51 connected to the front support rail 4, a front locking member 52 pivotally mounted on the front bracket 51, two front mounting units 53 disposed on the front bracket 51, and a pivoting elastic member 54. The front bracket 51 includes a front base plate 511, a first front hook 512 formed on the front base plate 511, a front abutment plate 513 connected to one end of the front base plate 511 away from the front support rail 4, a front mounting plate 514 disposed on the front base plate 511 and spaced from the front abutment plate 513, and a second front hook 515 formed on the front base plate 511 and spaced from the first front hook 512. The front bracket module 5 is connected to the front support rail 4 via a front connecting elastic member 6 connecting the second front hook 515 and the support hook 44 (see...). Figure 2The front locking member 52 includes a pivot portion 521 pivotally mounted to the front mounting plate 514, a flat plate portion 522 connected to the pivot portion 521 and extending along the front bottom plate 511, a locking plate portion 523 connected to the flat plate portion 522 and laterally bent, and a positioning hook 524 bent from the locking plate portion 523 and extending away from the front mounting piece 30 and capable of hooking onto the hook member 91. The pivoting elastic member 54 is connected to the first front hook 512 and the pivot portion 521 respectively.

[0026] See Figures 6 to 8 The front mounting unit 53 is disposed on the front mounting plate 514 and passes through the front abutment plate 513. Each front mounting unit 53 has a front screw mounting member 531 passing through the front mounting plate 514 and the front abutment plate 513, a first front elastic member 532 disposed on the front screw mounting member 531 and abutting the front mounting plate 514, a front cylindrical mounting member 533 abutting the first front elastic member 532, passing through the front abutment plate 513 and being passed through by the front screw mounting member 531, a front cylindrical mounting member 534 accommodated in the front cylindrical mounting member 533 and passing through the front abutment plate 513, and a second front elastic member 535 disposed on the front screw mounting member 531 and abutting the front mounting plate 514 and the front cylindrical mounting member 534 respectively. It should be noted that the number of the front mounting units 53 is not limited to two; in other embodiments, there may be one or more, as long as at least one is sufficient.

[0027] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 When the length of the chassis 9 is too long, causing the hook 91 of the chassis 9 to be separated from the positioning hook 524 and unable to engage, the user only needs to continue pushing the chassis 9 to move the slide rail 1 and the front support rail 4 away from the front bracket 51. Eventually, the hook 91 can engage with the positioning hook 524, achieving the effect of positioning with the front bracket 51, preventing the chassis 9 and the slide rail 1 from sliding together, thus increasing safety.

[0028] In summary, the movable slide rail fixing device 10 of the present invention can movably connect the front bracket 51 via the front support rail 4 and fix the slide rail 1 thereon. The front support rail 4 can drive the slide rail 1 and the chassis 9 to move relative to the front bracket 51, so that the hook 91 is engaged with the positioning hook 524. This design allows the slide rail 1 to be installed on chassis 9 of different lengths. The hook 91 of the longer chassis 9 can be driven by the front support rail 4 and engaged with the positioning hook 524, thus achieving the effect of positioning with the front bracket 51 and preventing the chassis 9 and the slide rail 1 from sliding together, thereby increasing safety. Therefore, the purpose of the present invention can indeed be achieved.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the claims and description of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
