Customers can choose different types of server chassis according to their needs. When the server side wall air intake and heat dissipation is required, a server chassis with air intake holes on the side wall can be selected. Air can be taken in through the air intake holes on the side wall of the server chassis, and the air can be taken in through the front window of the server chassis to enhance the heat dissipation effect inside the server; when the server side wall air intake and heat dissipation is not required, a server chassis without air intake holes on the side wall can be selected, and air can be taken in only through the front window of the server chassis for heat dissipation.
[0005] Nowadays, in order to meet customers' different needs for heat dissipation, two types of chassis are usually designed for the same model of server, namely, a server chassis with holes in the side walls and a server chassis without holes in the side walls. The two chassis exist independently, and it is impossible to flexibly switch one chassis in different usage scenarios. The versatility is poor and the production cost will be greatly increased.

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 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the utility model discloses a server chassis, comprising a windshield 3 and a guide plate 2 positioned and installed on the inner side of the chassis side wall 1, wherein the chassis side wall 1 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 11, and the air inlet holes 11 are located at the rear of the guide plate 2; a guide channel for guiding the windshield 3 to slide forward and backward is formed between the guide plate 2 and the chassis side wall 1; the windshield 3 can slide forward and backward in the guide channel to open or block the air inlet holes 11.
[0029] A windshield plate 3 that can slide forward and backward is installed on the side wall 1 of the chassis. When the windshield plate 3 slides forward in the guide channel, the air inlet 11 is in an open state. Figure 1 As shown, the air intake and heat dissipation of the side wall 1 of the chassis can be realized; when the wind shield 3 slides backward in the guide channel, the air inlet hole 11 is blocked by the wind shield 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the heat is dissipated only through the front window. It can realize flexible and convenient switching between two usage scenarios (whether the side wall is used for air intake and heat dissipation), improve the versatility and adaptability of the chassis, greatly reduce production costs, and has good practicality.
[0030] Among them, Figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 4, the side wall 1 of the chassis is provided with an inwardly concave side wall groove 13 (in the front-to-back direction), which increases the structural strength of the chassis and facilitates the installation of the slide rail; the bottom of the guide plate 2 is provided with a first horizontal folded edge 21 facing inward, and the upper part of the guide plate 2 is provided with a second folded edge 22 that is continuously bent inward and upward. The first folded edge 21 is riveted to the lower side of the side wall groove 13, and the upright section of the second folded edge 22 is riveted to the bottom surface (outside) of the side wall groove 13; the reliability and accuracy of the installation of the guide plate 2 can be achieved, and the structure of the guide plate 2 is effectively strengthened.
[0031] Among them, Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the wind shield 3 is provided with a first limiting groove 31 in the middle and a second limiting groove 32 outside the front end; the guide plate 2 is provided with a limiting spring piece 23 capable of pressing and limiting the first limiting groove 31 and the second limiting groove 32; when the limiting spring piece 23 is pressed and limited with the first limiting groove 31, the air inlet 11 is in an open state; when the limiting spring piece 23 is pressed and limited with the second limiting groove 32, the air inlet 11 is in a blocked state. The limiting spring piece 23 is pressed and limited with the first limiting groove 31 and the second limiting groove 32 respectively, which effectively ensures the reliability of the two states of the wind shield 3 and prevents it from sliding at will.
[0032] Further, such as Figure 4As shown, the limiting spring piece 23 is arranged at the end of the guide plate 2 away from the air inlet hole 11, and the end of the limiting spring piece 23 away from the guide plate 2 is bent back to form a spring piece folding portion 24. This effectively avoids the end of the limiting spring piece 23 and the edge of the limiting groove (the first limiting groove 31 and the second limiting groove 32) from getting stuck, and plays a guiding role.
[0033] As shown in FIG5 , the first limiting groove 31 and the second limiting groove 32 are groove structures and are provided on the side (inner side) of the windshield 3 away from the chassis side wall 1. The engagement depth of the limiting spring piece 23 and the limiting groove is controlled to avoid the windshield 3 from getting stuck when moving.
[0034] like Figure 1-2 As shown, the side wall 1 of the chassis is provided with a stop convex bump 12 capable of stopping the windshield plate 3 from sliding, and the stop convex bump 12 is arranged on the front side of the guide plate 2. The windshield plate 3 is limited to the extreme position of sliding forward by the stop convex bump 12 to prevent it from slipping out; and the windshield plate 3 in the open state is positioned to achieve convenient operation.
[0035] Among them, Figure 5 As shown, the front end of the windshield plate 3 is provided with an inwardly protruding operating portion 35. The windshield plate 3 can be conveniently pulled out and slid by the operating portion 35.
[0036] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the side wall 1 of the chassis is also positioned and installed with a limit card plate 4; the limit card plate 4 is arranged at the rear side of the air inlet 11, and can limit the wind shield 3 in the blocking state. When the wind shield 3 blocks the air inlet 11, the limit card plate 4 limits the rear end of the wind shield 3 to ensure the reliability of the blocking state and prevent the wind shield 3 from sliding randomly.
[0037] Further, as shown in Figures 3 and 5, the end (front end) of the position-limiting card plate 4 close to the air inlet hole 11 is connected with two upper and lower claws 41, and the side (outer side) of the claw 41 close to the side wall 1 of the chassis is provided with a block 42; the end (rear end) of the wind shield 3 close to the position-limiting card plate 4 is provided with a slot 34 that can be engaged with the block 42. The block 42 is engaged with the slot 34 to achieve reliable position limiting of the wind shield 3 in the blocked state. When unlocking, the claw 41 is manually lifted to make the block 42 fall out of the slot 34.
[0038] Further, such as Figure 3 As shown, the front end of the clamping block 42 away from the clamping claw 41 is chamfered to facilitate the clamping of the clamping block 42 with the clamping slot 34 .
[0039] Among them, Figure 5As shown, the windshield 3 is provided with a guide groove 33 at one end close to the limit clamping plate 4, which can guide the claw 41 to slide forward and backward, and the clamping groove 34 is provided in the guide groove 33, so as to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the clamping block 42 and the clamping groove 34.
[0040] The end (front end) of the claw 41 away from the limit clamping plate 4 is bent with a raised claw bending portion 43. When the windshield 3 slides backward and contacts the claw 41, the claw bending portion 43 guides the clamping block 42 to be conveniently clamped into the clamping slot 34.
[0041] In the server case, a windshield plate 3 which can slide forward and backward is installed on the side wall 1 of the case. When the windshield plate 3 slides forward in the guide channel, the air inlet hole 11 is in an open state. Figure 1 As shown, the air intake and heat dissipation of the side wall 1 of the chassis can be realized; when the wind shield 3 slides backward in the guide channel, the air inlet 11 is blocked by the wind shield 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown, the heat is dissipated only through the front window. It can realize flexible and convenient switching between two usage scenarios (whether the side wall is used for air intake and heat dissipation), improve the versatility and adaptability of the chassis, greatly reduce production costs, and has good practicality.
