[0036] Embodiment 1

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first aspect of the present application provides a connecting device 1, including a first connecting part 11 and a second connecting part 12; the first connecting part 11 is rotatably arranged in the ear hook structure 2; the second connecting part 12 is arranged on the side of the first connecting part 11 facing the sliding component 3, and the second connecting part 12 is used to cooperate with the hook 31 on the sliding component 3 to make the ear hook structure 2 clamped and fixed to the sliding component 3; wherein the second connecting part 12 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31, the second connecting part 12 is clamped to the hook 31, the second connecting part 12 is in a second relative position relative to the hook 31, and the second connecting part 12 is released from the hook 31.

[0038] Specifically, the first connecting portion 11 can be a plate with a certain thickness, and its side facing away from the sliding component 3 can be set according to the plane where the outer edge of the hook ear structure 2 is located. Because the first connecting portion 11 needs to be manually driven to rotate relative to the hook ear structure 2 in a working scenario, when the connecting device 1 is assembled on the hook ear structure 2, it is necessary to ensure that the hook ear structure 2 reserves a certain space to facilitate the fingers to pull the end of the first connecting portion 11 to drive the rotation, and further, a groove for facilitating the insertion of fingers can be set at the end of the first connecting portion 11 on the side facing the sliding component 3.

[0039] The first connection portion 11 is rotatably arranged in the ear structure 2. In one embodiment, a support ear structure is provided on the side of the first connection portion 11 facing the sliding component 3. The support ear structure has a hole and an axis to realize rotational connection with the ear structure 2. At the same time, the rotation of the first connection portion 11 can be reset by arranging an elastic component such as a torsion spring or a torsion spring assembly on the axis, and ensuring the connection relationship between the elastic component and the connecting device 1 or the ear structure 2, so that during the rotation of the connecting device 1, the elastic component can generate elastic force to realize the reset action.

[0040] The first connection part 11 is provided with a second connection part 12 on one side of the sliding assembly 3 to achieve engagement with the hook 31 on the sliding assembly 3. The hook 31 can be detachably connected to the sliding assembly 3, or can be fixedly connected to the sliding assembly 3. The hook 31 can be integrally formed with at least one sliding member in the sliding assembly 3. The second connection part 12 can be a plate-like or rod-like structure extending in a direction away from the first connection part 11. The extension length must be sufficient to ensure that when the connection device 1 is assembled on the side of the hook structure 2 away from the sliding assembly 3, the second connection part 12 can engage with the hook 31 in the thickness direction of the hook structure 2. In order to engage with the hook 31 on the sliding assembly 3, the end of the second connection part 12 away from the first connection part 11 must be provided with a bent structure or a buckle structure corresponding to the shape characteristics of the hook 31 to achieve stable engagement with the hook 31.

[0041] The second connection part 12 and the first connection part 11 can be connected by thermoplastic plastics, resin materials, etc. through 3D printing, injection molding, press molding and other technologies, or can be connected by welding, or limited by fasteners such as screws and rivets. There is no specific limitation, as long as the second connection part 12 is stably arranged on the side of the first connection part 11 facing the sliding component 3.

[0042] In the process of the connecting device 1 realizing locking or unlocking the server on the cabinet sliding assembly 3, the second connecting part 12 has two relative positions relative to the hook 31 of the sliding assembly 3, wherein the second connecting part 12 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31, the second connecting part 12 is engaged with the hook 31, the second connecting part 12 is in a second relative position relative to the hook 31, and the second connecting part 12 is released from the hook 31, so that the operator can easily realize the snap-in installation of the server on the cabinet, and the release of the snap-in can be realized by simply rotating the first connecting part 11 of the connecting device 1, which is convenient for disassembly of the server from the cabinet.

[0043] In a first aspect, the present application provides a connecting device 1, comprising a first connecting portion 11 and a second connecting portion 12; the first connecting portion 11 is rotatably arranged in a hook structure 2; the second connecting portion 12 is arranged on the side of the first connecting portion 11 facing the sliding component 3, and the second connecting portion 12 is used to cooperate with the hook 31 on the sliding component 3 to connect the hook structure 2 to the sliding component 3; wherein the second connecting portion 12 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31, the second connecting portion 12 is connected to the hook 31, a driving force is applied to the first connecting portion 11 in a direction away from the sliding component 3 to rotate the first connecting portion 11, the second connecting portion 12 is in a second relative position relative to the hook 31, and the second connecting portion 12 is released from the hook 31. When placing the server on the cabinet of the server system, the second connecting part 12 of the connecting device 1 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31 on the sliding component 3, so that the second connecting part 12 is engaged with the hook 31, and because the first connecting part 11 of the connecting device 1 is rotatably arranged in the hanging ear structure 2, the server is fixed to the cabinet through its hanging ear structure 2. When the position of the server on the cabinet needs to be adjusted, the first connecting part 11 in the hanging ear structure 2 is rotated so that the second connecting part 12 is in a second relative position relative to the hook 31 to release the engagement, so that the hanging ear structure 2 of the server is separated from the cabinet. The present application has a simple structure and can enable the operator to easily realize the clamping installation of the server on the cabinet, and the clamping can be released by simply rotating the first connecting part 11 of the connecting device 1, so that the server is easy to disassemble from the cabinet.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the second connection portion 12 includes a horizontally arranged connection structure 121 and a clamping structure 122 bent relative to the connection structure 121, and two ends of the connection structure 121 are respectively connected to the first connection portion 11 and the clamping structure 122.

[0045] Specifically, in order to achieve that the second connection part 12 of the connecting device 1 of the present application can be engaged with the hook 31 on the sliding component 3, the second connection part 12 of the present application includes a horizontally arranged connection structure 121 and a bent engaging structure 122 relative to the connection structure 121, and the two ends of the connection structure 121 are respectively connected to the first connection part 11 and the engaging structure 122, and the length of the connection structure 121 is determined according to the position of the hook 31 when the ear structure 2 of the server is assembled on the sliding component 3 and the thickness of the first connection part 11 in the horizontal direction, so that the engaging structure 122 can be engaged with the hook 31 when the length of the connection structure 121 is compensated, and at least it is satisfied that when the second connection part 12 is in the first relative position relative to the hook 31, the engaging structure 122 toward the side of the first connection part 11 is pressed against the side of the hook 31 away from the first connection part 11.

[0046] The connection structure 121, as a support member connected between the first connection part 11 and the clamping structure 122, needs to provide a certain tensile strength when the clamping structure 122 of the second connection part 12 is clamped with the hook 31, and needs to provide a certain bending strength during the reciprocating switching process from the first relative position to the second relative position of the second connection part 12 relative to the hook 31, so as to ensure the overall stability of the connection device 1. The connection structure 121 can be integrally formed with the clamping structure 122, or can be combined by assembly, embedding, welding, etc. The outer edge of the clamping structure 122, which is bent relative to the connection structure 121, should be adapted to the outer edge of the hook 31 on the sliding component 3, and can ensure the reciprocating switching of the second connection part 12 relative to the hook 31 from the first relative position to the second relative position.

[0047] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the connection structure 121 and the first connection portion 11 meet a vertical condition, and the clamping structure 122 and the first connection portion 11 meet a parallel condition.

[0048] Specifically, in order to provide the regularity of the overall appearance of the connecting device 1, so that the connecting device 1 is easy to mass-produce, and at the same time, the second connecting part 12 is stably connected in two working scenarios: moving in the horizontal direction and rotating relative to the ear-hanging structure 2, the present application sets the connecting structure 121 and the first connecting part 11 to meet the vertical condition, so that when the second connecting part 12 moves in the horizontal direction to abut the hook 31, it is perpendicular to the first connecting part 11, which is convenient for the operator to level and guide. The clamping structure 122 and the first connecting part 11 meet the parallel condition, that is, the clamping structure 122 located at the end of the connecting structure 121 facing the hook 31 forms a 90° angle with the connecting structure 121, so that when the clamping structure 122 is connected to the hook 31, they are mutually limited in the horizontal direction to avoid slipping, deviation, etc.

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, a reinforcing rib 1211 is provided at the edge of the connection structure 121 .

[0050] Specifically, the connection structure 121 of the second connection part 12 is a support member connected between the first connection part 11 and the clamping structure 122. It is necessary to provide a certain tensile strength when the clamping structure 122 of the second connection part 12 is clamped with the hook 31, and it is necessary to provide a certain bending strength during the reciprocating switching process from the first relative position to the second relative position of the second connection part 12 relative to the hook 31, so as to ensure the overall stability of the connection device 1. Therefore, the present application is provided with a reinforcing rib 1211 at the edge of the connection structure 121. The reinforcing rib 1211 can enhance the tensile strength and bending strength of the connection structure 121 to improve the service life of the connection structure 121 in the working scene. The reinforcing rib 1211 can be integrally formed with the connection structure 121, and the position of the reinforcing rib 1211 is preset and then manufactured by means of 3D printing, injection molding, extrusion molding, etc., or different welding methods can be selected according to the properties of the material for setting.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, an inclined surface 1221 is provided on the side of the snap-fitting structure 122 facing away from the first connecting portion 11, and the inclined surface 1221 can guide when the second connecting portion 12 presses against the hook 31 in the horizontal direction; wherein, the second connecting portion 12 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31, and the snap-fitting structure 122 presses against the side of the hook 31 facing away from the first connecting portion 11.

[0052] Specifically, in the process of the connecting device 1 of the present application abutting the hook 31 in the horizontal direction, before the second connecting portion 12 is in the first relative position relative to the hook 31, the connecting device 1 as a whole is on one side of the hook 31 and the second connecting portion 12 faces the hook 31. In this position, in order to realize the engagement between the second connecting portion 12 and the hook 31, it is necessary to push the connecting device 1 in the horizontal direction. A slope is provided on the side of the hook 31 facing the connecting device 1 in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the present application provides an inclined surface 1221 on the side of the engaging structure 122 of the second connecting portion 12 away from the first connecting portion 11, so that when the connecting device 1 is moved toward the hook in the horizontal direction, the inclined surface 1221 is provided on the side of the engaging structure 122 of the second connecting portion 12 away from the first connecting portion 11. When the hook 31 moves, the inclined surface 1221 on the snap-fit ​​structure 122 will press against the inclined surface of the hook 31. Under the guiding action of the inclined surface 1221, the inclined surface on the hook 31 applies a force in the direction away from the sliding component 31 to the first connecting part 11 through the inclined surface 1221 to rotate the first connecting part 11, so that the snap-fit ​​structure 122, which is bent relative to the connecting structure 121, can flip over the hook 31, and the side of the snap-fit ​​structure 122 facing the first connecting part 11 presses against the side of the hook 31 away from the first connecting part 11, and the second connecting part 12 is in a first relative position relative to the hook 31, thereby realizing the snap connection between the connecting device 1 and the hook 31.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first connecting portion 11 is provided with a through hole 13, a rotating shaft 14 is passed through the through hole 13, and both ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected to the ear hook structure 2; an elastic member 15 is sleeved on the rotating shaft 14, and the elastic member 15 can be pulled to generate elastic force when the second connecting portion 12 switches from a first relative position to a second relative position relative to the hook 31, and under the action of the elastic force, the second connecting portion 12 is reset from the second relative position to the first relative position relative to the hook 31.

[0054] Specifically, in order to realize that the first connecting part 11 can be rotatably set in the hanging ear structure 2, the present application provides a through hole 13 in the first connecting part 11, and the through hole 13 is located on the connection side of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12, and a rotating shaft 14 is passed through the through hole 13, and both ends of the rotating shaft 14 are rotatably connected in the hanging ear structure 2. The hanging ear structure 2 is opened with holes or grooves on the main structure or in a separate supporting ear structure corresponding to the two ends of the rotating shaft 14, so that the rotating shaft 14 passed through the through hole 13 of the first connecting part 11 can be rotatably connected to the hanging ear structure 2, and a bearing can also be arranged between the rotating shaft 14 and the hanging ear structure 2, or a bearing seat can be arranged in the hanging ear structure 2 to provide support for the rotation of the rotating shaft 14.

[0055] In order to achieve the resetting of the connection device 1 during use, the present application sets an elastic member 15 on the rotating shaft 14, so that when the first connection part 11 rotates relative to the ear hook structure 2 and the second connection part 12 switches from the first relative position to the second relative position relative to the hook 31, it is pulled to generate elastic force, and under the action of the generated elastic force, the first connection part 11 is pulled to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the ear hook structure 2, and the second connection part 12 is reset from the second relative position to the first relative position relative to the hook 31, so as to achieve elastic resetting. In the present application, the elastic member 15 can be an elastic member such as a torsion spring or a torsion spring assembly, so that when the first connection part 11 rotates relative to the ear hook structure 2, it is pulled to generate elastic force and achieve the resetting of the connection device 1.

[0056] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the elastic member 15 includes a first torsion spring 151, a second torsion spring 152 and a connecting rod 153, the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 are respectively sleeved on the rotating shaft 14, the connecting rod 153 is arranged at a lower part of the second connecting portion 12 facing the rotating shaft 14 and the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 are respectively connected at both ends; wherein, one end of the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 are both limited in the ear structure 2, and when the second connecting portion 12 switches from a first relative position to a second relative position relative to the hook 31, the connecting rod 153 is compressed, pulling the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 to generate an elastic force.

[0057] Specifically, in order to realize that when the first connecting part 11 of the connecting device 1 is pulled by an external force, the second connecting part 12 is released from the hook 31 and is in the second relative position, the elastic member 15 can provide elastic force to reset the connecting device 1. The elastic member 15 of the present application includes a first torsion spring 151, a second torsion spring 152 and a connecting rod 153. The first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 are respectively sleeved on the rotating shaft 14, and one end of each of the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 is limited in the hanging ear structure 2. The first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 can be fixed by a slot or a slot provided in the hanging ear structure 2. The connecting rod 153 is provided The first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 are respectively connected at both ends of the second connecting portion 12 below the side facing the rotating shaft 14, so that the connecting rod 153 can be deformed by the pressure applied by the second connecting portion 12 toward the side of the rotating shaft 14 when the second connecting portion 12 switches from the first relative position to the second relative position relative to the hook 31, thereby pulling the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 connected at both ends to generate elastic force, and the elastic force is applied to the second connecting portion 12 through the rebound of the connecting rod 153, so that the second connecting portion 12 is reset from the second relative position to the first relative position relative to the hook 31.

[0058] The first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 in the elastic member 15 of the present application are respectively located on both sides of the second connecting part 12 while being sleeved on the rotating shaft 14. The connecting rod 153 connecting the first torsion spring 151 and the second torsion spring 152 is arranged in the space below the second connecting part 12. The elastic forces generated by the two torsion springs arranged in the present application are symmetrical, and the two torsion springs generate elastic forces through the pressure of the connecting rod 153 and apply them to the second connecting part 12 through the connecting rod 153, which can ensure the stability of the connecting device 1 when rotating relative to the hanging ear structure 2, thereby improving the service life of the connecting device.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second connection portion 12 and the first connection portion 11 are integrally formed.

[0060] Specifically, in order to provide the overall structural strength of the connecting device 1, thermoplastic plastics, resin materials, etc. can be selected to realize the integral molding of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 through 3D printing, injection molding, press molding and other technologies, or welding can be used to connect to ensure the continuity of the structure of the connecting device 1 and improve the structural strength, so that during the reciprocating switching process from the first relative position to the second relative position of the first connecting part 11 and the second connecting part 12 relative to the hook 31, whether the first connecting part 11 is pulled to rotate by an external force applied, or the second connecting part 12 is engaged with the hook 31, the overall bending strength and tensile strength of the connecting device 1 are improved, thereby ensuring that the connecting device 1 is stable and intact during the locking process, and improving the service life of the connecting device 1.

[0061] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one groove 111 is formed on a side of the first connection portion 11 facing the sliding assembly 3 and is spaced apart from the second connection portion 12 .

[0062] Specifically, in order to enable the connection device 1 of the present application to provide space for arranging other functional components in the hanging ear structure 2 when it is rotatably arranged in the hanging ear structure 2, at least one groove 111 is provided on the side of the first connection part 11 of the present application facing the sliding component 3, which is separated from the second connection part 12, so that more space for arranging other functional components in the hanging ear structure 2 is provided through the groove space provided by the groove 111, thereby improving the functional integration in the server hanging ear structure 2. And by providing at least one groove 111, it is possible to reduce the overall weight and volume of the first connection part 11 of the connection device 1, saving costs.
