[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] like Figure 1-4 As shown, embodiment 1 of the first aspect of the present application provides a bearing device, which includes: a bearing structure 1 and a slide rail structure 2; the bearing structure 1 has a bearing space A, and the bearing structure 1 is symmetrically provided with a first area B and a second area C arranged along a second direction E on both sides along a first direction D, and the projection of the bearing space A along the first direction D is located in the second area C; the two slide rail structures 2 are respectively connected to the two sides of the bearing structure 1 along the first direction D, the first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2 is arranged in the first area B, and the second part 22 of the slide rail structure 2 is arranged in the second area C.

[0043] Specifically, the bearing structure 1 may be a box with an opening on one side, or a drawer-type cabinet, which is not specifically limited. In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the bearing space A of the bearing structure 1 can accommodate more server modules 3, the bearing structure 1 may be set as a rectangular box, and a rectangular bearing space A is set inside the box. At the same time, a partition may be set in the bearing space A to fix the server module 3 in the bearing space A. In this embodiment, the first direction D may be the width direction of the bearing structure 1, and the second direction E may be the length direction of the bearing structure 1. The second direction E may also be understood as the drawer direction of the bearing structure 1 when the bearing structure 1 is slidably connected to the shell 5 of the server rack. The first direction D is perpendicular to the second direction E, so that the slide rail structures 2 extending along the second direction E are set on both sides of the first direction D of the bearing structure 1 to enable the bearing structure 1 to slide along the second direction E relative to the server rack shell 5.

[0044] The first area B and the second area C arranged along the second direction E are provided on both side surfaces of the bearing structure 1 along the first direction D. The portion of the bearing structure 1 covered by the first area B along the first direction D is used to install the first limiting structure 4 capable of limiting the bearing structure 1. This portion can be defined as the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1. The first limiting structure 4 limits the bearing structure 1 on the housing 5 so that it cannot slide. The projection of the bearing space A along the first direction D is located in the second area C, which can be understood as the second area C on both sides of the bearing structure 1 along the first direction D completely covering the two side areas of the bearing space A along the first direction D, so that the first area B protrudes from the bearing space A along the second direction E, that is, the projection of the first area B along the first direction does not cover the bearing space A.

[0045] The slide rail structure 2 can be a slide rail used in a standard server cabinet, or a slide rail with damping and limiting functions, and is not specifically limited. The connection between the slide rail structure 2 and the bearing structure 1 can be by screw connection or welding, and is not specifically limited. The first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2 is used to connect the sliding structure corresponding to the slide rail structure 2 in the server rack, so that the second part 22 of the slide rail structure 2 can cooperate with the sliding structure to enable the bearing device to slide back and forth relative to the server rack shell 5 along the second direction E. The sliding structure can be a roller in a roller guide rail or a sliding damper in a damping guide rail, and is not specifically limited. It can be selected according to the form of the slide rail structure 2. The first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2 is arranged in the first area B. The first part 21 can be an extension of the second part 22 along the second direction E, or a separately arranged structural reinforcement component connected to the first part 21. The connection method can be welding or connection through a connector, and is not specifically limited.

[0046] The bearing device provided by the present application is achieved by respectively arranging the first part 21 and the second part 22 of the slide rail structure 2 in the first area B and the second area C which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bearing structure 1 along the first direction D, wherein the slide rail structure 2 of the second part 22 in the second area C is used to enable the bearing structure 1 to move along the second direction E relative to the server rack shell 5, and the first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2 is arranged in the first area B, so that the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1 is effectively strengthened. When the first limiting structure 4 is arranged in the first area B, the first part 21 in the first area B can bear part of the stress for the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1, effectively alleviating the problem that the weight of the server module 3 arranged in the bearing structure 1 is large, which causes the sheet metal of the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1 to deform, thereby achieving structural reinforcement of the bearing structure 1.

[0047] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, further, the first part 21 is arranged in the first area B and extends along the third direction F, the second part 22 is arranged in the second area C and extends along the second direction E, the first direction D is perpendicular to the second direction E, and the third direction F is perpendicular to the first direction D and the second direction E at the same time.

[0048] Specifically, the third direction F can be the height direction of the bearing space A, or can be understood as the depth direction of the bearing space A. In this embodiment, the first portion 21 can be understood as the second portion 22 extending along the second direction E to the first area B, while the first portion 21 also extends along the second direction E, so that the first portion 21 is cross-shaped or T-shaped in the first area B. In this way, the first portion 21 not only provides reinforcement for the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1 in the second direction E, but also strengthens the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1 in the third direction F, further preventing the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1 from bending and deformation.

[0049] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, further, the first portion 21 completely covers the first area B.

[0050] Specifically, the first part 21 completely covers the first area B, which can be understood as the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1 is completely attached to the first part 21, so that the first part 21 can share the force exerted on the limiting part 11 at various locations, further strengthening the structural strength of the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1.

[0051] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, further, a bending structure 13 is provided at the end of the first region B of the supporting structure 1 , and the end of the first portion 21 abuts against the bending structure 13 .

[0052] Specifically, the end of the bearing structure 1 in the first area B can be understood as the end of the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1, and the bending structure 13 provided therein can enhance the strength of the limiting portion 11. When the first limiting structure 4 limits the bearing structure 1 to the housing 5, due to the influence of external factors and the server module 3 provided in the bearing space A, the bearing structure 1 as a whole will move along the second direction E and move out of the housing 5. At this time, due to the action of the first limiting structure 4, the end of the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1 will move toward the direction close to the bearing space A and bend. The end of the first part 21 abuts against the bending structure 13, which can apply a force in the second direction E to the bending structure 13, and provide a limit to the limiting portion 11 to limit its rotation toward the bearing space A, further enhancing the structural strength of the limiting portion 11.

[0053] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, further, the supporting device also includes: a first connecting member 14, at least one first connecting member 14 is arranged in the first area B along the third direction F, the first part 21 is provided with a first connecting hole 211 corresponding to the first connecting member 14 along the third direction F, the first connecting member 14 is passed through the first connecting hole 211, and the first part 21 and the second part 22 are integrally formed.

[0054] Specifically, the first connecting member 14 can be a positioning pin connected to the first area B, or a connecting column. The number of the first connecting members 14 is not specifically limited and can be adjusted according to the weight of the server module 3. The first connecting member 14 corresponds to the size and position of the first connecting hole 211, so that when the slide rail structure 2 is installed on the bearing structure 1, the first connecting member 14 can be inserted into the first connecting hole 211 and have a transition fit or interference fit with the first connecting hole 211. The first connecting member 14 is inserted into the first connecting hole 211. When the first limiting structure 4 limits the bearing structure 1 and the bearing structure 1 is displaced along the second direction E, the first connecting hole 211 limits the first connecting member 14, and then limits the limiting part 11 to prevent the limiting part 11 from rotating in the direction close to the bearing space A. When there are multiple first connecting members 14, the multiple first connecting holes 211 arranged along the third direction F can simultaneously limit the multiple and first connecting members 14, further preventing the bending of the limiting part 11. If the first connecting member 14 is arranged along the second direction E, only the first connecting hole 211 and the first connecting member 14 near the bearing space A bear the force caused by the limit, which may easily lead to damage to the first connecting member 14 and the first connecting hole 211. The arrangement of the first connecting member 14 and the first connecting hole 211 can also facilitate the rapid positioning of the slide rail structure 2 when the bearing device is assembled.

[0055] like Figure 2As shown, further, the second connecting member, the first connecting member 14 has a second connecting hole 15 parallel to the depth direction of the first connecting hole 211, and the second connecting member is penetrated through the second connecting hole 15 to fix the bearing structure 1 and the first part 21.

[0056] Specifically, the first connecting member 14 has a second connecting hole 15 parallel to the depth direction of the first connecting hole 211, which can be understood as the first connecting member 14 is provided with a second connecting hole 15 extending along the axial direction, the second connecting member can be a bolt, and a threaded structure can be provided in the hole of the second connecting hole 15, and the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1 is fixed to the first part 21 by the bolt and the threaded structure, and the second connecting member can also be a rivet structure, which is penetrated through the second connecting hole 15 and riveted to achieve the fixed connection between the limiting part 11 of the bearing structure 1 and the first part 21, and it is not specifically limited. The limiting part 11 and the first part 21 are fixedly connected by the second connecting member and the second connecting hole 15, so that the structural strength of the limiting part 11 is further strengthened, and the limiting part 11 is further prevented from bending and deformation.

[0057] like Figure 2-4 As shown, further, the slide rail structure 2 is provided with a connecting through hole 212 corresponding to the middle position of the first area B, and a plurality of first connecting holes 211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting through hole 212 .

[0058] Specifically, the projection of the connecting through hole 212 along the first direction D coincides with the limiting through hole 12 of the limiting portion 11 of the bearing structure 1 for installing the first limiting structure 4. When the first limiting structure 4 is installed, the first limiting structure 4 is simultaneously penetrated through the connecting through hole 212 and the limiting through hole 12, and finally cooperates with the second limiting structure 51 provided on the housing 5 to achieve the limiting of the bearing structure 1. The multiple first connecting holes 211 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting through hole 212 along the third direction F can make the force provided by the first part 21 to limit the limiting portion 11 more uniform, further increase the structural strength of the limiting portion 11, and prevent the limiting portion 11 from bending.

[0059] like Figure 2-4 As shown, further, the bearing device also includes: a first limiting structure 4, the first limiting structure 4 has a driving end 41 and a limiting end 42 that are separated from each other, the limiting end is arranged in the middle of the first area B of the bearing structure 1, and is connected to the connecting through hole 212, the driving end 41 and the limiting end 42 are respectively located on the same side of the bearing space A and the same side of the slide rail structure 2.

[0060] Specifically, the first limiting structure 4 can be a combination of a sleeve and a bolt, one end of the sleeve is connected to the connecting through hole 212, the other end of the sleeve is located on one side of the bearing space A, the head of the bolt serves as the driving end 41, and the end away from the head serves as the limiting end 42, the bolt is screwed into the sleeve, and the limiting end 42 enters the limiting hole set inside the shell 5, so as to achieve the limiting of the bearing structure 1. The first limiting structure 4 can also be a stud, the aperture of the limiting through hole 12 is larger than the aperture of the connecting through hole 212, and a thread is set in the connecting through hole 212, so that the stud is screwed into the thread of the connecting through hole 212 and enters the limiting hole set inside the shell 5. In this way, when the bearing structure 1 is limited and displacement is generated along the second direction E, most of the force generated by the bearing structure 1 on the first limiting structure 4 acts on the first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2, and only a small part acts on the limiting structure, which effectively avoids deformation of the limiting part 11.

[0061] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the first portion 21 covers the end of the supporting structure 1 in the first region B.

[0062] Specifically, the first part 21 can also be set as a shell structure, and the limiting part 11 is set in the shell structure and cooperates with the internal transition of the shell structure. In this way, the connecting through hole 212 passes through the shell structure along the first direction D. When the first limiting structure 4 is penetrated by the connecting through hole 212 and the limiting through hole 12, and the supporting structure 1 is displaced along the second direction E, the first part 21 completely bears the force of the supporting structure 1 acting on the first limiting structure 4, effectively preventing the limiting part 11 from bending and deforming.

[0063] Embodiment 2

[0064] like Figure 6 , 7 As shown, embodiment 2 of the second aspect of the present application provides a server rack, which includes: a shell 5 and a load-bearing device provided by embodiment 1 of the first aspect of the present application; the shell 5 has an opening structure along the second direction E, and a second limiting structure 51 is arranged on the side wall of the opening structure along the first direction D; the slide rail structure 2 of the load-bearing device is slidably connected to the inner wall of the shell 5, and the second limiting structure 51 limits or releases the limit of the first area B of the load-bearing device, so that the load-bearing space A is limited to the inside of the shell 5 or slides from the opening structure to the outside of the shell 5 along the second direction E.

[0065] Specifically, the shell 5 can be a rectangular shell 5 of a standard server rack, and the direction from the opening structure of the shell 5 to the inner wall relative to the opening structure is the second direction E, that is, the pulling direction of the bearing structure 1. The second limiting structure 51 set on the side wall of the opening structure along the first direction D corresponds to the position of the first limiting structure 4. It can be understood that when the bearing space A is completely inside the shell 5, the first limiting structure 4 can cooperate with the second limiting structure 51 to limit the bearing device. The second limiting structure 51 can be a hole or a clamping block, and its specific structure is not limited. The sliding connection between the slide rail structure 2 of the bearing device and the inner wall of the shell 5 can be realized by a sliding structure corresponding to the slide rail. The sliding structure can be a roller structure or a sliding damping, and it is not specifically limited. The server rack described in this embodiment 2 can directly use the bearing device provided in embodiment 1. The specific implementation structure can refer to the relevant content described in the above embodiment 1, and it will not be repeated here.

[0066] The server rack provided in the second embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, wherein the supporting device provided in the first embodiment of the present application is slidably connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 5 via a slide rail structure 2. Since the first part 21 of the slide rail structure 2 is located in the first area B, the structural strength of the limiting part 11 of the supporting structure 1 is increased, and the heavy weight of the server module 3 arranged in the supporting structure 1, which causes the sheet metal of the limiting part 11 of the supporting structure 1 to be deformed, thereby increasing the service life of the server frame.

[0067] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art who is familiar with the present technical field can easily think of changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present application, which should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application should be based on the protection scope of the claims.
