Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server chassis technology, and more specifically to a server chassis and an automatic server chassis assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a specific IT device that provides computing power and runs software applications in a network environment. A server consists of a chassis and internal electronic components. The chassis is not only used to store and protect the internal electronic components, but also to provide heat dissipation and dust protection.

[0003] Existing server chassis typically have multiple USB ports on the back for easy connection of other devices. However, when the server is installed in the cabinet, there are many wires connected to it. Therefore, it is inconvenient to pull out the server when connecting USB cables. The USB connectors need to be blindly plugged into the USB ports on the back of the server, making it very inconvenient to use each time a device is plugged in. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a server chassis to overcome the aforementioned shortcomings of the prior art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A server chassis includes a chassis body with multiple arrayed sockets on the back. Square plates are fixedly connected to the outside of each socket. A guide component is provided outside each socket, and a trigger component is provided on the guide component. The guide component includes a guide frame adapted to a slot, and a telescopic component is provided on the side of the guide frame. The guide frame has at least two states: a first state of retraction and a second state of extension. The trigger component is responsible for driving a single guide frame to the second state, facilitating accurate insertion into the corresponding socket by the user during blind insertion.

[0006] Furthermore, the port is a USB port.

[0007] Furthermore, the triggering component includes a first transmission tube and a second transmission tube. A contact rod is provided on the first transmission tube. The triggering component is also provided with a traction component. The traction component includes a traction member. A first limiting member is provided at the end of the traction member. The first limiting member is responsible for locking the guide frame in a fixed position. When the contact rod moves down, it pushes the first limiting member to move and unlocks the guide frame.

[0008] Furthermore, a receiving tube is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first transmission tube, a pushing tube is fixedly connected to the top of the first transmission tube, a guide ring is fixedly connected to the outer end of the contact rod, the guide ring slides on the inner wall of the pushing tube, a movable hole is opened on the contact rod, the traction member passes through the interior of the movable hole, and multiple pulleys are provided on the inner wall of the first transmission tube.

[0009] Furthermore, the first limiting member includes a limiting plate, the side end of which is provided with a movable groove, the inner wall of which is slidably connected with a first unlocking rod, the end of which is provided with an arc-shaped part and a flat part, and a first resetting member is fixedly connected between the unlocking rod and the movable groove.

[0010] Furthermore, a second limiting member is provided on part of the guide frame. The second limiting member includes an irregularly shaped plate with a limiting hole. The side end of the irregularly shaped plate abuts against a limiting block. The two sides of the irregularly shaped plate are respectively provided with arc-shaped surfaces facing opposite directions.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the multiple guide frames is provided with an unlocking component, the unlocking component includes a pair of fixing rods, the side end of the fixing rods is provided with a second reset component, the end of the second reset component is fixedly connected with a first arc-shaped block, and the pair of arc-shaped blocks face opposite directions.

[0012] Furthermore, a third limiting member is fixedly connected to the outer end of the square piece. The third limiting member includes a limiting frame. A third resetting member is provided on the outer side of the guide frame. A second arc-shaped block is fixedly connected to the end of the third resetting member.

[0013] An automatic assembly equipment for server chassis, applied to the aforementioned server chassis, is characterized by comprising a workbench, wherein the workbench has a welding device for welding a first transmission pipe and a second transmission pipe to the outer wall of the chassis body.

[0014] The server chassis provided by the present invention has the following beneficial effects in the above technical solution: By setting up a guide frame, and by setting up traction and trigger components, the guide frame located at the top is no longer restricted by the unlocking lever and begins to extend outward under the action of the telescopic component. When the user touches the guide frame, they can align it and press it to allow the USB plug to enter the corresponding socket. This solves the inconvenience of blind plugging, eliminates the need to move the chassis out, reduces the time users spend figuring things out, and makes it more convenient to use.

[0015] It should be understood that the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and illustrative only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this disclosure without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0021] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1-8 A server chassis includes a chassis body 1. Multiple arrayed sockets 2 are provided on the back of the chassis body 1. A square piece 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of each socket 2. A guide component 4 is provided outside each socket 2. A trigger component 5 is provided on the guide component 4. The guide component 4 includes a guide frame 41 adapted to a slot. A telescopic component 42 is provided on the side end of the guide frame 41. The guide frame 41 has at least two states: a retracted state and an extended state. The trigger component 5 is responsible for driving a single guide frame 41 to the second state, facilitating accurate insertion of the guide frame 41 into the corresponding socket 2 by the user during blind insertion.

[0022] Specifically, the telescopic component 42 includes a movable rod, with a pressure spring sleeved on the outer end of the movable rod. A slot is provided on one side of the guide frame 41, and the movable rod is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot. The pressure spring connects the square piece 3 and the guide frame 41. When the guide frame 41 is no longer restricted, it will quickly pop outward with a large popping force.

[0023] The port 2 is a USB port 2.

[0024] By triggering component 5, when it is necessary to connect other devices to the server, a guide box 41 for setting the location of port 2 can be popped up.

[0025] The triggering component 5 includes a first transmission tube 51 and a second transmission tube 52. A contact rod 53 is provided on the first transmission tube 51. The triggering component 5 is also provided with a traction component 6. The traction component 6 includes a traction member 61 (which may be a thin rope). A first limiting member 62 is provided at the end of the traction member 61. The first limiting member 62 is responsible for locking the guide frame 41. When the contact rod 53 moves down, it pushes the first limiting member 62 to move and unlock the guide frame 41.

[0026] A receiving tube 63 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first transmission tube 51, and a pushing tube 64 is fixedly connected to the top of the first transmission tube 51. A guide ring 65 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the contact rod 53. The guide ring 65 slides on the inner wall of the pushing tube 64. An movable hole 66 is provided on the contact rod 53. The traction member 61 passes through the interior of the movable hole 66. Multiple pulleys are provided on the inner wall of the first transmission tube 51.

[0027] The first limiting member 62 includes a limiting plate 621. The side end of the limiting plate 621 is provided with a movable groove. The inner wall of the movable groove is slidably connected to a first unlocking rod 622. The end of the first unlocking rod 622 is provided with an arc-shaped part and a flat part. A first reset member 623 is fixedly connected between the unlocking rod and the movable groove. The first reset member 623 is a reset spring.

[0028] Specifically, a lock hole is provided on the side of the guide frame 41. The lock hole has a rectangular structure. Initially, the unlocking rod is located inside the lock hole and the flat part faces outward, forming a latch structure.

[0029] When the guide frame 41 of the set position socket 2 needs to be popped out, press the touch bar 53. The touch bar 53 moves down and pulls the traction member 61. The traction member 61 pulls the limit plate 621 to move. The limit plate 621 moves with the unlocking rod. The guide frame 41 at the top loses the restriction of the unlocking rod and begins to extend outward under the action of the telescopic member 42. When the user touches the guide frame 41, he can align the guide frame 41 and press the guide frame 41 to make the USB plug enter the corresponding socket 2, thereby solving the inconvenience of blind plugging.

[0030] In a further embodiment of the present invention, counting from top to bottom, the top of each of the second and subsequent guide frames 41 is provided with a second limiting member 67. The second limiting member 67 includes an irregular plate 671, on which a limiting hole 672 is provided. The side end of the irregular plate 671 abuts against a limiting block 673. The two sides of the irregular plate 671 are respectively provided with arc-shaped surfaces facing opposite directions.

[0031] The bottom of each of the guide frames 41 is provided with an unlocking component 68. The unlocking component 68 includes a pair of fixing rods 681. A second reset component 682 is provided on the side end of the fixing rods 681. A first arc-shaped block 683 is fixedly connected to the end of the second reset component 682. The pair of arc-shaped blocks face opposite directions.

[0032] The second reset component 682 includes a movable rod, and a shaft hole is provided on one side of the fixed rod 681. The movable rod is slidably connected in the shaft hole. A compression spring is fixedly connected between the first arc-shaped block 683 and the fixed rod 681, and the compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the movable rod. The outer end of the square piece 3 is fixedly connected to a third limiting member 69, which includes a limiting frame 691. A third resetting member 692 is provided on the outer side of the guide frame 41, and a second arc-shaped block 693 is fixedly connected to the end of the third resetting member 692.

[0033] Specifically, a movable plate 694 is slidably provided on the inner side of the guide frame 41, as shown in the figure. The guide frame 41 has a first movable groove and a second movable groove. The movable plate 694 can slide in the first movable groove. The third reset member 692 includes a telescopic tube. A telescopic spring is provided inside the telescopic tube. A compression spring is fixedly connected between the movable plate 694 and the first movable groove. The elastic force of the compression spring is greater than that of the telescopic spring. When the plug enters the interior of the guide frame 41, it squeezes the movable plate 694, causing the second arc-shaped block 693 to extend outward through the third reset member 692. After touching the limit frame 691, the third reset member 692 begins to retract and moves smoothly behind the limit frame 691, thereby limiting the position of the guide frame 41 by the limit frame 691.

[0034] In summary, the guide box 41 in this case has three working states: the usage state with the USB connector inserted, the storage state with the USB connector not inserted, and the pop-out state with the USB connector to be inserted. For ease of explaining the working principle, these are referred to as state A, state B, and state C. Initially, all guide frames 41 are in state B. When the "button" is pressed (that is, the touch lever 53 is pressed), the top guide frame 41 pops out. (Since the second guide frame 41 is locked in position by the first guide frame 41, and so on, only the first guide frame 41 pops out.) At this time, the USB connector can be inserted, and the top guide frame 41 is pushed to retract, so that the USB connector is inserted into the USB port 2. Because the movable plate 694 is squeezed, the second arc block 693 extends outward and abuts against the limit bracket 691, and the position of the top guide frame 41 is locked. Furthermore, when the uppermost guide frame 41 retracts, it will also move the first arc-shaped block 683 located on the right. The opposite surface of the first arc-shaped block 683 and the irregular plate 671 is a plane, while the opposite surface of the irregular plate 671 and the first arc-shaped block 683 is an arc-shaped surface. Therefore, the irregular plate 671 can be pushed to move, so that the limiting block 673 moves to the position of the limiting hole 672. Subsequently, by pulling the limiting plate 621, the second guide frame 41 will also pop out. In this way, the guide frame 41 can be popped out as needed.

[0035] It is worth mentioning that when the USB plug is unplugged from the upper guide frame 41, the second arc-shaped block 693 moves and disengages from the limit frame 691 under the action of the telescopic member 42. This causes the first arc-shaped block 683 located on the left below it to push the irregular plate 671 to move, and also blocks the limit block 673, thus restricting the lower guide frame 41. At this time, pressing the touch bar 53 again will cause the upper guide frame 41 with the USB plug unplugged to pop out.

[0036] Example 2: A server chassis includes a chassis body 1. The back of the chassis body 1 has multiple arrayed sockets 2. A square piece 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of each socket 2. A guide component 4 is provided outside each socket 2. A trigger component 5 is provided on the guide component 4. The guide component 4 includes a guide frame 41 adapted to a slot. A telescopic member 42 is provided on the side end of the guide frame 41. The guide frame 41 has at least two states: a retracted state and an extended state. The trigger component 5 is responsible for driving a single guide frame 41 to the second state, facilitating accurate insertion of the guide frame 41 into the corresponding socket 2 by the user during blind insertion.

[0037] The telescopic component includes a powerful spring and an electromagnet, and the triggering component includes a touch switch.

[0038] It also includes a USB blind insertion and ejection system, which includes a controller, a logic module, a pressure sensor, and an electromagnet.

[0039] The pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the guide frame, and the logic operation module, pressure sensor and electromagnet are all connected to the controller's electrical signals.

[0040] The logic operation module follows the following logic, such as Figure 9 As shown: Logic 1: Pop up sequentially from top to bottom; Logic 2: When the controller receives a signal from the pressure sensor, the corresponding guide box does not pop up.

[0041] Each time the touch switch is pressed, the logic program shown in the figure is executed, so that only one guide box pops up each time, and it pops up only when needed.

[0042] Preferably, the chassis is also equipped with warning lights, which illuminate each time a port is used.

[0043] An automatic assembly equipment for server chassis, applied to the aforementioned server chassis, is characterized by comprising a workbench, wherein the workbench has a welding device for welding a first transmission pipe and a second transmission pipe to the outer wall of the chassis body.

[0044] The welding equipment also needs to weld the square pieces, guide frames, and telescopic components onto the chassis.

[0045] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
