[0002] As the global intelligentization process continues to accelerate, and technologies such as the internet, big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and blockchain continue to evolve, the digital economy has gradually become a powerful engine of global economic development. As the server industry, which provides computing power for the intelligent industry, is also experiencing rapid growth. To meet the demands of global intelligent development, servers are evolving towards high performance and high density, delivering stronger and faster computing capabilities. However, this also makes servers larger and heavier, making maintenance more difficult.

[0003] In the prior art, server operation and maintenance was primarily performed manually. However, with the upgrade of servers, the size and weight of blade servers have continued to increase. However, this increase in size and weight has made manual server operation and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, handling and flipping servers can easily cause components to collide, leading to server damage. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a server operation and maintenance tooling that can assist in completing the transportation and flipping of the server, reduce the difficulty of operation and maintenance work, and avoid damage to the server.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides an operation and maintenance tool for a server, the operation and maintenance tool comprising:

[0006] A frame, wherein casters are provided at the bottom of the frame; and

[0007] The flip mechanism includes a fixed component and a rotating component. The fixed component is used to fix the server. The fixed component is rotatably connected to the rack through the rotating component. The rotating component is used to drive the server to flip through the fixed component.

[0008] During operation and maintenance of the server, the server is moved to the fixed assembly to fix the server through the fixed assembly, and then the rotating assembly drives the server to flip through the fixed assembly so that both surfaces of the server are facing upward, making it easier for operation and maintenance personnel to maintain the two surfaces of the server separately. At the same time, the flipping mechanism is set on the rack, and casters are set at the bottom of the rack to drive the server to move. That is, the server operation and maintenance tooling of the present application can assist in completing the movement and flipping of the server, reduce the operational difficulty of server operation and maintenance, and avoid damage to the server.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixed assembly includes a side panel, a first cover panel, and a second cover panel. The first cover panel and the second cover panel respectively cover two opposite sides of the side panel to form a placement cavity with the side panel. The placement cavity is used to place a server. The rotating assembly is fixedly connected to the side panel.

[0010] With this arrangement, when the maintenance tool is not in use, the first and second covers are closed on opposite sides of the side panels, with the first cover facing upward. During use, the first cover is opened and the server is placed horizontally in the storage cavity. The second cover then supports the server, allowing maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the side of the server closest to the first cover. After maintenance is completed, the first cover is replaced and locked. The flip mechanism drives the fixing assembly to flip, so that the second cover faces upward. The second cover is opened, allowing maintenance on the side of the server closest to the second cover.

[0011] In one embodiment, at least one telescopic rod is provided in the fixing assembly, one end of the telescopic rod is connected to the side plate, and the other end of the telescopic rod is connected to the first cover plate or the second cover plate.

[0012] With this arrangement, the telescopic rod is used to support the first cover plate or the second cover plate, making it easier for operation and maintenance personnel to perform maintenance work on the server.

[0013] In one embodiment, the operation and maintenance tooling further includes a transmission mechanism, and the transmission mechanism is provided on the inner side of the first cover plate and / or the second cover plate close to the placement cavity, and the transmission mechanism drives the server to move into the placement cavity.

[0014] In this way, when placing the server, it is only necessary to place the server on the transmission mechanism on the first cover plate or the second cover plate, and the transmission mechanism can drive the server to move quickly into the placement cavity.

[0015] In one embodiment, the transmission mechanism includes a rolling groove and at least one first roller rollingly disposed in the rolling groove, the rolling groove extends along a first direction, the axial direction of the first roller is along a second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0016] With this arrangement, when placing the server, first place part of the server on the first roller, then push the server along the first direction, and the first roller rotates around the roller axis, which will drive the server to move along the first direction, so that the server moves into the placement slot.

[0017] In one embodiment, the operation and maintenance tooling further includes a limiting mechanism, and the limiting mechanisms are respectively provided on both sides of the transmission mechanism along the second direction, and the limiting mechanisms located on both sides of the transmission mechanism are respectively used to limit the server on both sides along the second direction.

[0018] With this arrangement, the two limiting mechanisms are respectively used to limit the server on both sides to prevent the server from moving along the second direction.

[0019] In one embodiment, the limiting mechanism includes a second roller, the axial direction of the second roller is along a third direction, and the third direction is perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction.

[0020] In this way, when the server is pushed, the first roller drives the server to move, and at the same time the two second rollers rotate, which on the one hand are used to limit the left and right sides of the server, and on the other hand can also reduce friction with the server to prevent damage to the server.

[0021] In one embodiment, there are two side panels, which are arranged opposite to each other; each side panel has a first end and a second end arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, the first cover plate is rotatably connected to the first end, and the second cover plate is rotatably connected to the second end.

[0022] In this way, only two side panels, such as left and right side panels, are provided, without a front side panel, to prevent the front side panels from blocking the servers when placing them. Furthermore, a transmission mechanism is provided to facilitate gradually pushing the servers into the placement cavity from the front. The first cover is rotatably connected to the first end, and the second cover is rotatably connected to the second end. This allows maintenance personnel to stand in front of and behind the fixed assembly to open the first and second covers before and after flipping.

[0023] In one embodiment, the rotating assembly includes two coaxially arranged rotating shafts, and the two side plates are rotatably connected to the frame through the corresponding rotating shafts.

[0024] With this setup, the motor drives the entire mounting assembly through the side panels. The motor can stop the mounting assembly at any angle, allowing the server to be held at any angle, making it easier for maintenance personnel.

[0025] In one embodiment, the first cover plate and the second cover plate are respectively provided with lock buckles, and the first end and the second end are respectively provided with lock hooks, and the lock buckles are used to hook with the corresponding lock hooks.

[0026] With this arrangement, when placing the server, you first need to ensure that the lock on the second cover is engaged with the corresponding lock on the side panel, and then place the server. Before the flip mechanism flips, you need to engage the lock on the first cover with the corresponding lock hook, and then use the flip mechanism to flip the server.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the server 400 is operated and maintained, the server 400 is moved to the fixing assembly 200 to fix the server 400 through the fixing assembly 200. Then, the rotating assembly 300 drives the server 400 to flip through the fixing assembly 200 so that both surfaces of the server 400 can face upward, making it easier for the operation and maintenance personnel to maintain the two surfaces of the server 400 separately.

[0040] In an embodiment of the present application, the fixed assembly 200 includes a side panel 210, a first cover panel 220, and a second cover panel 230. The first cover panel 220 and the second cover panel 230 are respectively covered on two opposite sides of the side panel 210 to form a placement cavity with the side panel 210. The placement cavity is used to set the server 400, and the rotating assembly 300 is fixedly connected to the side panel 210.

[0041] With this arrangement, when the operation and maintenance tooling is not in use, the first cover 220 and the second cover 230 are respectively closed on opposite sides of the side panel 210. During use, the first cover 220 is opened, and the server 400 is placed horizontally in the placement cavity. At this time, the second cover 230 supports the server 400, and the operation and maintenance personnel can perform maintenance on the side of the server 400 close to the first cover 220.

The telescopic rod 240 is used to support the first cover plate 220 or the second cover plate 230, so that the operation and maintenance personnel can perform maintenance work on the server 400.

[0044] Specifically, telescopic rods 240 are respectively provided on both sides of the first cover plate 220. One end of each telescopic rod 240 is rotatably connected to the side plate 210, and the other end is connected to the first cover plate 220. When the first cover plate 220 is opened, the telescopic rod 240 extends to support the first cover plate 220 and prevent the first cover plate 220 from closing automatically.

[0045] Correspondingly, telescopic rods 240 are respectively provided on both sides of the second cover 230. One end of each telescopic rod 240 is rotatably connected to the side panel 210, and the other end is connected to the second cover 230. When the second cover 230 is opened, the telescopic rod 240 extends to support the second cover 230 and prevent the second cover 230 from closing automatically.

[0046] Of course, telescopic rods 240 can also be set on both sides of the first cover plate 220, and telescopic rods 240 can be set on both sides of the second cover plate 230, so that the first cover plate 220 and the second cover plate 230 can be supported by the telescopic rods 240 when they are opened.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present application, the operation and maintenance tooling further includes a transmission mechanism 250 . The transmission mechanism 250 is provided on the inner side of the first cover plate 220 and / or the second cover plate 230 close to the placement cavity. The transmission mechanism 250 drives the server 400 to move into the placement cavity.

[0048] In one embodiment, a transmission mechanism 250 is provided on the second cover plate 230. When placing the server 400, the first cover plate 220 is first turned upward, and then the first cover plate 220 is opened. The transmission mechanism 250 on the second cover plate 230 can enable the server 400 to be quickly moved into the placement cavity.

[0049] In another embodiment, a transmission mechanism 250 is provided on the first cover plate 220. When placing the server 400, the second cover plate 230 is first turned upward, and then the second cover plate 230 is opened. The transmission mechanism 250 on the first cover plate 220 can enable the server 400 to be quickly moved into the placement cavity.

[0050] In other embodiments, a transmission mechanism 250 may be provided on the first cover plate 220 and the second cover plate 230 respectively. When in use, the first cover plate 220 and the second cover plate 230 can be opened at will, and the server 400 can be quickly moved into the placement cavity through the transmission mechanism 250.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present application, the transmission mechanism 250 includes a rolling groove 251 and at least one first roller 252 rolling in the rolling groove 251. The rolling groove 251 extends along the first direction OX, and the axial direction of the first roller 252 is along the second direction OY. The first direction OX is perpendicular to the second direction OY.

[0052] In this configuration, taking the transmission mechanism 250 disposed on the first cover plate 220 as an example, multiple rolling grooves 251 are sequentially disposed on the first cover plate 220 along the second direction OY, where the first direction OX can be a front-to-back direction, and the second direction OY can be a left-to-right direction. Each rolling groove 251 is disposed within at least one first roller 252, each first roller 252 being in rolling connection with the rolling groove 251 via a roller shaft. To place a server 400, a portion of the server 400 is first placed on the first roller 252, and then the server 400 is pushed along the first direction OX. The first roller 252 rotates about the roller shaft, thereby driving the server 400 along the first direction OX, thereby moving the server 400 into the placement groove.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present application, the operation and maintenance tooling further includes a limiting mechanism 260, and limiting mechanisms 260 are respectively provided on both sides of the transmission mechanism 250 along the second direction OY. The limiting mechanisms 260 located on both sides of the transmission mechanism 250 are respectively used to limit the server 400 on both sides along the second direction OY.

[0054] In this configuration, the limiting mechanisms 260 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the transmission mechanism 250 , and the limiting mechanisms 260 are used to prevent the server 400 from moving along the second direction OY.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting mechanism 260 includes a second roller 261 , and the axial direction of the second roller 261 is along the third direction OZ, which is perpendicular to both the first direction OX and the second direction OY.

[0056] With such an arrangement, when placing the server 400, first place part of the server 400 on the second cover plate 230, and make the server 400 located between the two limiting mechanisms 260, then push the server 400 backward, the first roller 252 drives the server 400 to move, and at the same time the two second rollers 261 rotate, which is used to limit the left and right sides of the server 400 on the one hand, and on the other hand can reduce friction with the server 400 to prevent damage to the server 400.

[0057] Furthermore, the second roller 261 is disposed on a slide rail, and the slide rail can drive the second roller 261 to move along the second direction OY, so that the limiting mechanism 260 can limit servers of various sizes.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, there are two side panels 210, and the two side panels 210 are arranged opposite to each other; each side panel 210 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction, the first cover plate 220 is rotatably connected to the first end 211, and the second cover plate 230 is rotatably connected to the second end 212.

[0059] When the rotating assembly 300 rotates, it drives the server 400 located in the placement cavity to rotate via the two side panels 210, thereby flipping the server 400. Providing only two side panels 210, for example, left and right side panels 210, without a front side panel 210, prevents the front side panel 210 from blocking the server 400 when it is placed. Furthermore, the transmission mechanism 250 is provided to facilitate gradually pushing the server 400 into the placement cavity from the front.

[0060] Furthermore, the first cover plate 220 is rotatably connected to the first end 211, and the second cover plate 230 is rotatably connected to the second end 212, so that before and after flipping, the operation and maintenance personnel can stand in front of the fixing assembly 200 to open the first cover plate 220 and the second cover plate 230.

[0061] In an embodiment of the present application, the rotating component 300 can be a rotating shaft 310, one end of the rotating shaft 310 is fixedly connected to the fixed component 200, and the other end is rotatably connected to the frame 100. A motor is provided on the frame 100, and the motor is used to drive the fixed component 200 to rotate through the rotating shaft 310.

[0062] Specifically, the rotating assembly 300 includes two coaxially arranged rotating shafts 310 , and the two side plates 210 are rotatably connected to the frame 100 through the corresponding rotating shafts 310 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the motor drives the entire fixing assembly 200 to rotate through the side plate 210. The motor can rotate the fixing assembly 200 to any angle, so that the server 400 can be maintained at any angle, which is convenient for maintenance personnel.

[0064] In some other embodiments, the rotating assembly 300 may also be gears respectively provided on the two side walls, and the two gears rotate synchronously, thereby driving the fixing assembly 200 to rotate.

[0066] When placing the server 400, first ensure that the lock catch 221 on the second cover 230 is engaged with the corresponding lock hook 213 on the side panel 210, and then place the server 400. Before the flip mechanism flips, the lock catch 221 on the first cover 220 is engaged with the corresponding lock hook 213, and then the flip mechanism drives the server 400 to flip.

[0067] Specifically, the rack 100 is also provided with a drawer 110, a protective baffle 120 and an operating table 130. The protective baffles 120 are respectively provided on both sides of the rack 100 along the first direction OX to protect the flip mechanism.

When the rack 100 needs to be moved, the foot cup 160 retracts and the rack 100 moves via casters 150. When the rack 100 needs to be fixed, the foot cup 160 extends to support the rack 100. A push handle 140 is provided on one side of the rack 100 to facilitate pushing by operation and maintenance personnel.

[0068] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0069] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
