Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a streaming media server. Background Art

[0002] Compared with the online playback format of watching after downloading, the typical feature of streaming media is that the continuous audio and video information is compressed and placed on the network server. Users can watch while downloading without having to wait for the entire file to be downloaded. This technology is widely used in video on demand, video conferencing, distance education, telemedicine and online live broadcast systems.

[0003] Streaming media servers generally use rack-mounted servers and can be installed on standard racks. They need to be plugged with multiple wires such as power cables, signal cables, network cables, USB data cables, etc. Among them, the network cables are the most plugged in. Generally, 4-10 network cable interfaces are set up, and most of these interfaces are set on the rear frame of the server, resulting in very messy wiring at the rear. There are also streaming media servers that set the network cable interface independently on the panel. Although this can reduce the clutter of the rear wiring, when the network cable passes through the back of the rack, it needs to be turned 180° before it can be plugged into the network cable interface. On the one hand, this will result in a small bending radius and large internal force at the terminal of the network cable. On the other hand, it will protrude from the panel for a certain distance, affecting the aesthetics.

[0004] The patent with application number 202122453191.5 discloses a streaming TV live server with wire management. Wire clamping mechanisms are set on the top and bottom surfaces of the server, and auxiliary structures are set on the sides to solve the problem of messy wires. However, it has two disadvantages. First, the improved server can no longer be placed in a standard rack, affecting routine use. Second, the wire management structure is complicated to operate and not very convenient to use.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, people have been seeking an ideal technical solution. Summary of the invention

[0006] The utility model aims to address the deficiencies of the prior art and thus provide a streaming media server in which a network cable interface is independently arranged on a server panel, but the bending radius of the network cable terminal is small, the appearance is more beautiful, and the server can still be placed in a standard rack for use.

[0007] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a streaming media server, including a shell that can be placed in a cabinet, a panel is arranged on the front side of the shell, a plurality of network cable interfaces are arranged on the panel, ear plates for cooperating with the cabinet frame are arranged at both ends of the panel, the panel includes a plane portion and a protruding portion, the plane portion and the ear plate are in the same plane, the protruding portion is arranged to protrude from the middle of the plane portion, and a plurality of the network cable interface openings are arranged downward at the bottom of the protruding portion.

[0008] Based on the above, the bottom of the shell is provided with front and rear rows of network cable slots, the number of the network cable slots in each row is the same as the number of the network cable interfaces, and the network cable slots are in a circular arc-shaped semi-enclosed structure with the opening facing downward.

[0009] Based on the above, the gathering degree of the front network cable bayonet is higher than that of the rear network cable bayonet, the front network cable bayonet is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell, and the rear network cable bayonet is hinged to the bottom of the shell through a vertical rotating shaft.

[0010] Based on the above, a wire threading rectangular frame is further provided at the bottom of the shell, and the wire threading rectangular frame is located behind the rear network cable bayonet, and both ends of the wire threading rectangular frame are arranged beyond both ends of the rear network cable bayonet.

[0011] Based on the above, it also includes an outer wire blocking plate arranged at the bottom of the outer protrusion, and the top end of the outer wire blocking plate is hinged to the bottom of the outer protrusion so as to open or close the connection terminal of the network cable.

[0012] The utility model has substantial characteristics and progress compared with the prior art. Specifically, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0013] (1) Based on the structure of a traditional streaming media server, the protruding portion is provided on the panel, and a row of network cable interface openings are provided downward at the bottom of the protruding portion. When the server is installed in a cabinet (the rear end and the two side structures remain unchanged and do not affect the installation), the network cable passes through the bottom of the server and can be plugged into the network cable interface by simply turning 90 degrees, which reduces the bending radius and internal force.

[0014] (2) By setting two rows of network cable clips, front and rear, at the bottom of the housing, the network cables passing through the bottom can be clipped. The front row of network cable clips is fixedly arranged to facilitate fixing the passing-out angle of the network cable terminals. The rear row of network cable clips is rotatably arranged and is more dispersed than the front row of network cable clips, which facilitates the network cables to converge from both sides to the middle, making the network cables more neatly arranged.

[0015] (3) By setting the threading rectangular frame behind the rear row of network cable clips, all network cables are first passed through the threading rectangular frame and then clipped into the two rows of network cable clips, thereby further improving the neatness of the network cables; the setting of the outer wire blocking plate makes it convenient to open or close the connection terminals of the network cables, making the appearance of the server more beautiful without affecting the plugging and unplugging of the network cables.
