[0036] In order to make the purpose, features, and advantages of this patent more obvious and easy to understand, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this patent will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this patent. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this patent, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present patent includes an outer box body 2, an inner box body 3 and a fan module 4. The outer box body 2 is used to be installed in the cabinet box body 1; the fan module 4 is pluggable and arranged in the inner box body 3, and the fan module 4 can be installed and removed without tools; wherein, the inner box body 3 and the outer box body 2 are slidably matched through the sliding bracket 5, so that the fan module 4 can be extended out of the outer box body 2. When performing maintenance, it is only necessary to pull out the inner box body 3 to make the fan module 4 extend out of the outer box body 2. The fan module 4 extends out of the outer box body 2, and the fan module 4 is pluggable and arranged in the inner box body 3. The fan module 4 can be pulled out from the inner box body 3, so that the fan module 4 placed in the inner box body 3 can be maintained from the front end of the cabinet, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the fan module 4.

[0038] Specifically, when the server is fixed to the inner box 3, the inner box 3 and the outer box 2 are slidably matched through the sliding bracket 5, so that the server can be accommodated in the cabinet box 1 or protrude from the cabinet box 1 through the sliding bracket 5. In other words, the outer box 2 is fixed to the cabinet box 1, and the inner box 3 can be pulled out under the action of external force, so that the inner box 3 drives the server to be pulled out, and the sliding bracket 5 makes the inner box 3 and the server set in the inner box 3 hover in a suitable position. At this time, the fan module 4 can be at the front door of the cabinet, and the fan module 4 can be removed from the server device by pulling out the fan module 4 without the help of tools.

[0039] The embodiment of this patent can realize tool-free disassembly and assembly of the rear fan module 4 when the space in the computer room is limited and the rear-end cables are blocked. Maintenance is convenient and fast, and other fan modules 4 of the equipment will not be affected. In this case, this patent also does not require additional disassembly of the circuit board connected to the fan module 4, achieving a plug-and-play, replace-and-use effect.

[0040] In some specific embodiments, the sliding bracket 5 includes a first slide rail 51, a second slide rail 52 and a third slide rail 53, the first slide rail 51 is connected to the outer box 2, the second slide rail 52 is slidably matched with the first slide rail 51, the third slide rail 53 is connected to the inner box 3, and the third slide rail 53 is slidably matched with the second slide rail 52, so that the inner box 3 and the server arranged in the inner box 3 are suspended in a suitable position, which is convenient for the maintenance and replacement of the fan module 4. When the fan module 4 fails, the fan module 4 can be directly plugged in and replaced after it is protruded out of the cabinet box 1 through the first slide rail 51, the second slide rail 52 and the third slide rail 53 that are slidably matched, thereby improving the maintainability of the fan module 4 and reducing the maintenance cost of the fan module 4. Optionally, the first slide rail 51 is connected to the outer box 2 by a fastener, and the third slide rail 53 is connected to the inner box 3 by a fastener.

[0041] Combination Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the inner box 3 is provided with a guide rail 31 and a guide member 6 that slides with the guide rail 31. Optionally, the guide rail 31 is fixedly connected to the inner box 3, and the guide member 6 is slidably connected to the guide rail 31; optionally, the guide rail 31 and the inner box 3 can be connected by fasteners, and the guide rail 31 and the inner box 3 can also be an integrated structure. The guide rail 31 extends along the height direction Z of the inner box 3; the fan module 4 slides with the guide member 6; the plug-in and pull-out direction of the fan module 4 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, that is, the plug-in and pull-out direction of the fan module 4 is perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and also perpendicular to the moving direction of the guide member 6. When the guide member 6 is pulled and lifted upward, the fan module 4 slides with the guide member 6, so that the fan module 4 can only move perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, so that the connector of the fan module 4 is disengaged from the back panel connector of the inner box 3, so that the fan module 4 can be pulled out after being separated from the back panel of the inner box 3.

[0042] Optionally, one of the guide member 6 and the fan module 4 is provided with a first sliding fitting portion, and the other of the guide member 6 and the fan module 4 is provided with a second sliding fitting portion, and the first sliding fitting portion is slidably fitted with the second sliding fitting portion. Wherein, along the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and from top to bottom, the first sliding fitting portion or the second sliding fitting portion extends obliquely in a direction away from the inner box 3. When the guide member 6 is pulled and lifted upward, due to the sliding fitting of the first sliding fitting portion and the second sliding fitting portion, the fan module 4 can only move perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, so that the connector of the fan module 4 is disengaged from the connector of the back panel of the inner box 3, so that the fan module 4 can be pulled out after being separated from the back panel of the inner box 3.

[0043] Optionally, one of the first sliding fitting portion and the second sliding fitting portion is a slide groove 61, and the other of the first sliding fitting portion and the second sliding fitting portion is a stopper 41, and the stopper 41 is disposed in the slide groove 61; wherein, along the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and from top to bottom, the slide groove 61 extends in a direction away from the inner box 3. When the guide member 6 is pulled and lifted upward, due to the sliding fit between the stopper 41 and the slide groove 61, the fan module 4 can only move along the extension direction of the slide groove 61, perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, so that the connector of the fan module 4 is disengaged from the backplane connector of the inner box 3 (such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown), the fan module 4 can be separated from the back plate of the inner box body 3 and then pulled out upward.

[0044] Optionally, the guide member 6 is provided with a slide groove 61, and the fan module 4 is provided with a limit member 41. The limit member 41 can be a pin, a screw or a limit column.

[0045] In some specific embodiments, the inner box 3 is provided with a first connector 71, and the fan module 4 is provided with a second connector 72. The first connector 71 and the second connector 72 are plugged together (eg, Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 When the guide member 6 is pulled upward, due to the sliding fit between the first sliding fit portion and the second sliding fit portion, the fan module 4 can only move perpendicularly to the height direction Z of the inner box 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, so that the second connector 72 is disengaged from the first connector 71 (as shown in FIG. Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown), after being separated from the back plate of the inner box body 3, the fan module 4 can be pulled out upward.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, a handle 62 is provided on the top of the guide member 6 along the height direction Z of the inner box body 3. The handle 62 is pulled upward to move the guide member 6 upward, and since the stopper 41 is slidably matched with the slide slot 61, the fan module 4 can only move along the extension direction of the slide slot 61, along the direction perpendicular to the height direction Z of the inner box body 3 and the moving direction of the guide member 6, so that the connector of the fan module 4 is disengaged from the backplane connector of the inner box body 3, so that the fan module 4 can be pulled out.

[0047] In some specific embodiments, the guide member 6 includes two vertical plates, which are arranged at intervals. The guide rail 31 is formed with a guide groove, which extends along the height direction Z of the inner box 3. The vertical plates are slidably arranged in the guide groove, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the guide member 6 and the guide rail 31.

[0048] The electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes the server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Since the electronic device provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the same advantages as the server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present invention, they will not be described in detail here.
