Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of server light pipes, and particularly relates to a multi-light pipe parallel fixing structure and a server. Background Art

[0002] A light pipe is a device that transmits light from a light source to another point at a certain distance from the light source with minimal loss. It is often used in electrical equipment such as servers to guide the light source for status lights and make the light uniform and soft, facilitating users to observe the indication signals of the equipment.

[0003] At present, with the continuous development of big data technology and cloud computing technology, in order to improve the sense of technology and diagnosability, arranging multiple status lights has become a typical feature of servers. At the same time, since the internal status lights generally guide light outside the chassis through light pipes, the parallel application of multiple light pipes has also become a common scenario. As Figure 1 shown, the existing multi-light pipe parallel installation structure mostly adopts the following structure: first, combine three light pipes into one body with two connecting ribs, then install the light pipe component on the fixing base, and finally cover the light pipe with a light-shielding cover and fix it on the fixing base through a buckle.

[0004] However, there are two common problems with the above multi-light pipe parallel installation structure: light leakage problem and light crosstalk problem (the problem that adjacent light pipes emit light or change color significantly). That is to say, although there are partition walls inside the light-shielding cover and on the fixing base in the above multi-light pipe parallel installation structure, due to the two connecting ribs, it is very difficult to eliminate the light leakage problem and light crosstalk problem at the installation position of the connecting ribs, resulting in the inapplicability of the above multi-light pipe parallel installation structure in some usage scenarios. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The technical problem solved by the utility model is to provide a new multi-light pipe parallel fixing structure and a server, which can not only quickly realize the parallel installation and fixing of multiple light pipes, but also solve the light leakage problem and light crosstalk problem of multiple light pipes in parallel.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, on the one hand, the present utility model provides a multi - root light guide column juxtaposed fixing structure, which includes a fixing base. One end of the fixing base is provided with a light guide hole, and one side of the fixing base is provided with a shielding wall. A light - shielding cover is installed between the shielding walls. At both ends of the side of the light - shielding cover facing the fixing base, side walls are provided. The side walls are in contact with the corresponding shielding walls. At least two internal partition walls are arranged between the side walls. The gaps between any two adjacent internal partition walls and the gaps between the outermost internal partition wall and the side walls all form light guide column placement slots. A light guide column is installed in the light guide column placement slot. One end of the light guide column extends into the light guide hole, and the other end of the light guide column is connected with a status light. A light - shielding cover is arranged above the status light, and a status light partition wall is arranged inside the light - shielding cover. Based on this, the present utility model can avoid light leakage in the light path through the close fit of the side walls at the light - shielding cover and the shielding walls at the fixing base, and the relative setting of the light - shielding cover and the fixing base. The direction of the light beam at the status light is restricted by the light - shielding cover to avoid light leakage at the light source. The multi - root light guide columns are physically partitioned from each other by the internal partition walls to avoid light crosstalk during light conduction. The multiple status lights are separated by the light - shielding cover to avoid light crosstalk at the light source.

[0007] Further, a light - shielding cover positioning hole is arranged on the surface of the fixing base, and a light - shielding cover positioning post is arranged at the end of the light - shielding cover. The light - shielding cover positioning post can be inserted into the light - shielding cover positioning hole to achieve the accurate fixing of the light - shielding cover and the fixing base.

[0008] Further, the length of the light - shielding cover is greater than the length of the shielding wall, and one end of the light - shielding cover located outside the shielding wall is snap - connected with the fixing base through a second snap - fastener. In this way, the present utility model can achieve the quick installation of the light - shielding cover through the snap - fastener structure.

[0009] Further, upper fixing bosses and lower fixing bosses are respectively arranged at both ends of the fixing base, and upper second snap - fasteners and lower second snap - fasteners are respectively arranged on the two side walls of the light - shielding cover. The upper second snap - fastener is snap - connected with the upper fixing boss, and the lower second snap - fastener is snap - connected with the lower fixing boss to achieve the stable connection between the light - shielding cover and the fixing base.

[0010] Further, the light guide column placement slot includes a horizontally arranged section and an arc - shaped section arranged in sequence. The horizontally arranged section is located between the two shielding walls of the fixing base, and the arc - shaped section is located outside the shielding wall. A docking window is arranged at the end of the arc - shaped section, and the docking of the light guide column and the status light is achieved through this docking window.

[0011] Further, a light guide column positioning hole is arranged at the bottom of the light guide column placement slot, and a light guide column positioning protrusion is arranged on one side of the light guide column. The light guide column positioning protrusion can be inserted into the light guide column positioning hole to ensure the installation position accuracy of the light guide column.

[0012] Furthermore, the light guide column is installed in the light guide column placement groove through a first buckle, and preferably, first buckles are provided on the groove walls at both ends of the light guide column placement groove, and the light guide column is quickly fixed by the first buckle.

[0013] Furthermore, at least one groove is provided on one end of the light-shielding cover close to the light-guiding hole, and at least one auxiliary protrusion is provided at a position on the fixed seat corresponding to the groove, and the auxiliary protrusion can be plugged into the corresponding groove, so that it can facilitate the accurate plugging of the light-guiding column and the light-guiding hole through the groove, and the blocking protrusion can be used to block the groove after the light-shielding cover is rotated into place to ensure the light-shielding effect.

[0014] Furthermore, the light shield is made of silicone and is pasted above the status light to constrain the direction of the light beam of the status light.

[0015] On the other hand, the utility model further provides a server, which includes the above-mentioned multiple light guide columns fixed in parallel structure, and the status lights are arranged through the above-mentioned multiple light guide columns fixed in parallel structure.

[0016] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the utility model has the following advantages: on the one hand, the utility model can realize the quick installation of the light guide column and the light shielding cover through various snap-on structures; on the other hand, the utility model can avoid light leakage problems in the optical path through the close fit between the side wall of the light shielding cover and the shielding wall at the fixing seat, as well as the relative arrangement of the light shielding cover and the fixing seat; the direction of the light beam at the status light is constrained by the light shielding cover to avoid light leakage at the light source; multiple light guide columns are physically separated from each other by internal partition walls to avoid light crosstalk during light conduction; multiple status lights are separated by the light shielding cover to avoid light crosstalk at the light source.
