Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of server cable management, in particular to a server cable management slot. Background Art
[0002] Server cable trough is a device used to manage and organize cables and data cables inside the server chassis. It is usually installed on the side or back of the chassis to ensure that the cables are arranged in an orderly manner, avoid crossing and confusion, and improve data transmission stability and equipment heat dissipation efficiency. Modern server cable troughs adopt modular design, which is easy to install and maintain, while taking into account the actual needs of space utilization efficiency and cable management, providing important equipment support and management solutions for data centers and server rooms.
[0003] With the continuous enhancement of server functions and the diversification of configurations, the number of cables inside the chassis has increased significantly, bringing new challenges to the server's wiring and heat dissipation design. Especially in high-density data centers and server rooms, how to effectively manage and arrange these cables directly affects the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment. Good cable management is not only for tidiness, but also directly related to the heat dissipation efficiency of the server. If dense cables are not properly managed, they can easily hinder airflow, causing local temperature increases, thus affecting the normal operation of the equipment.
[0004] The traditional cable management trough design has the problem of poor variability. The main difficulty is that its design cannot flexibly adapt to the needs of various machine internal spaces. It usually needs to be customized according to the size and layout of the specific machine and molded for production, which makes it impossible to reuse it highly, which is very unfavorable for cost-cutting design and has high production costs. Because a certain amount of space is required to avoid cables, it is also possible that other designs in the chassis are sacrificed to meet the needs of reusing the cable management trough, and the extended design cost is uncontrollable.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiment. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the utility model discloses a server cable management trough, including a pair of positioning members 2 and a plurality of limiting members 3 that can be horizontally positioned and installed on the inner side of a chassis side wall 1; the pair of positioning members 2 are arranged opposite to each other up and down to form a horizontal cable routing channel therebetween, and the limiting member 3 can be engaged between the pair of positioning members 2 and can limit the cable; the positioning member 2 includes a first base layer 21, and a plurality of first clamping columns 22 are arrayed on the first base layer 21, and the limiting member 3 includes a second base layer 31, and a plurality of second clamping columns 32 are arrayed on the second base layer 31; the second clamping column 32 can be engaged with the first clamping column 22 for positioning at intervals.
[0029] A cable routing channel is formed between two upper and lower positioning members 2 that are arranged opposite to each other, and cables can be routed and wired in it. A vertical limiter 3 is set at the required position (the positions of both ends, the positions of the incoming and outgoing lines, and the intervals of a certain length) to achieve reliable positioning of the cables. The first clamping column 22 is arranged in an array with equal spacing in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the second clamping column 32 is arranged in an array with equal spacing in the vertical and horizontal directions. When the limiter 3 is engaged with the positioning member 2, the first clamping column 22 is inserted into the middle space of the four second clamping columns 32 that are distributed in a square, and similarly, the second clamping column 32 is inserted into the middle space of the four first clamping columns 22 that are distributed in a square, so that the reliability and flexibility of the engagement of the limiter 3 with the positioning member 2 can be achieved, and the convenience of the clamping and disassembly of the limiter 3 and the positioning member 2 can be achieved (separated by force). The overall structure is simple, and the length and width of the limiter 3 and the positioning member 2 can be flexibly cut, which can flexibly adapt to the requirements of the internal space of various machines, has good versatility and high reusability, and effectively reduces the design cost.
[0030] The second base layer 31 can form a flexible binding hoop to limit the position of the cable, that is, the second base layer 31 has a certain flexibility and elasticity, and can realize a reliable binding hoop to limit the position of the cable.
[0031] Furthermore, the first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32 form an elastic clamping, that is, the first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32 both have certain flexibility and elasticity, ensuring reliable clamping and convenient separation operation.
[0032] The first base layer 21 and the first clamping column 22 are integrally injection molded; the second base layer 31 and the second clamping column 32 are integrally injection molded. The positioning member 2 and the limiting member 3 are integrally injection molded of soft PVC material. The soft PVC material has good toughness and elasticity, and its softness can be adjusted by plasticizer. It is easy to mold and has low cost.
[0033] The limiting member 3 and the positioning member 2 can be formed by the same material mold, and only the cutting size is different, that is, the base layer and the clamping column are integrally injection molded, and are cut into different sizes as needed.
[0034] In addition, the positioning member 2 and the limiting member 3 may also be made of soft rubber or other materials with good flexibility and elasticity.
[0035] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, the ends of the first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32 are respectively provided with rounded corners or chamfers, so as to facilitate the insertion of the first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32 and play a guiding role.
[0036] The first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32 are provided with concave arc surfaces at their root circumferences. The concave arc surfaces can form a clamping groove to achieve reliability of the clamping of the first clamping column 22 and the second clamping column 32.
[0037] like Figure 2 , 6 As shown, the first base layer 21 has positioning holes 23 at both ends; the chassis side wall 1 is connected with a positioning column 11 that can be positioned and inserted with the positioning hole 23; and also includes a limiting buckle 4 that can be inserted with the positioning column 11 and can press and limit the first base layer 21. At least two positioning holes 23 are provided at each end of the first base layer 21. The two positioning holes 23 at each end of the first base layer 21 are sleeved on the positioning column 11, and are pressed and limited by the limiting buckle 4, so that the positioning member 2 can be conveniently positioned and installed.
[0038] Furthermore, the first base layer 21 is adhered and fixed to the chassis side wall 1 through an adhesive layer, so as to achieve reliable stability in the connection between the positioning member 2 and the chassis side wall 1 .
[0039] The pressing of the limit buckle 4 and the sticking of the adhesive layer can be used separately or in combination.
[0040] Among them, Figure 6As shown, the limiting buckle 4 includes a collar 41 sleeved on the positioning column 11 and a limiting cap 43 that can be inserted with the positioning column 11 and can press and limit the first base layer 21, and the collar 41 and the limiting cap 43 are connected by a flexible connection part 42. The collar 41 has a certain clamping force on the positioning column 11, which can prevent the limiting cap 43 from falling and being lost, and ensure the convenience of use.
[0041] The cable management trough of the server forms a cable routing channel between two positioning members 2 arranged opposite to each other in the upper and lower parts, and the cables can be routed and wired in the channel. The vertical limit members 3 are arranged at the required positions (the positions of the two ends, the positions of the incoming and outgoing lines, and the intervals of a certain length) to achieve reliable positioning of the cables. The first clamping column 22 is arranged in an array with equal spacing vertically and horizontally, and the second clamping column 32 is arranged in an array with equal spacing vertically and horizontally. When the limit member 3 is engaged with the positioning member 2, the first clamping column 22 is inserted into the middle space of the four second clamping columns 32 distributed in a square, and the second clamping column 32 is inserted into the middle space of the four first clamping columns 22 distributed in a square. The reliability and flexibility of the engagement of the limit member 3 with the positioning member 2 can be achieved, and the convenience of the clamping and disassembly of the limit member 3 and the positioning member 2 can be achieved (separated by force). The overall structure is simple, and the length and width of the limit member 3 and the positioning member 2 can be flexibly cut, which can flexibly adapt to the requirements of the internal space of various machines. It has good versatility and high reusability, and effectively reduces the design cost.
