Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to an information card fixing structure and a server. Background Art

[0002] For reasons of server identification, asset management, maintenance convenience, information security, management standards, and user experience, existing server systems generally design corresponding information cards based on the server's configuration, model, and other information, and affix the information cards to the server chassis or the exterior structure of each component to facilitate the use and reading needs of users in all links.

[0003] At present, based on the usage characteristics of existing servers, conventional information cards are generally placed in the front and rear panel areas of the server chassis, and the following common methods are mainly used: 1. First, find a space suitable for the size of the information card in the blank area of ​​the front and rear panels of the server chassis, and then directly paste the information card in the space; 2. First, find a gap space on the front and rear panels of the server chassis, and then make a plastic sheet that can be pulled back and forth, and finally paste the information card on the plastic sheet.

[0004] However, both of the above-mentioned information card fixing methods have certain defects: 1. Although the first fixing method is more intuitive, it generally requires occupying a certain space on the front panel or the rear panel, and the information card is likely to affect the ventilation and heat dissipation of the front panel or the rear panel; 2. Although the second method can save space on the front panel and the rear panel, the existing plastic sheet pulling structure not only cannot achieve the stable stay of the plastic sheet and the information card at any position, but also requires the use of multiple components such as a cover plate. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to propose and design an information card fixing structure and a server to address the problems that the information card fixing structure used in the existing server chassis has a complex structure and cannot stably keep the information card in any position during use. The structure has the advantages of being simple in structure and easy to process, and can stably keep the information card in different positions to facilitate staff to read the information card.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the present invention provides an information card fixing structure, which includes an information card and a receiving slot for installing the information card, wherein a label mounting portion is provided on the front and / or back of the information card, the information card is rotatably installed in the receiving slot via a damper, and a handle is provided on the outer edge of the information card, and the handle is located outside the receiving slot. In this way, since the present invention directly utilizes a damper to rotatably install the information card in the receiving slot formed by the vacant gap space at the front panel, rear panel, etc. of the server chassis, it not only has the characteristics of taking up little space, but also can rely on the damping between the damper and the information card to ensure that the information card can stop after rotating to any angle, so as to facilitate the use and reading needs of users in various links; at the same time, it does not require many additional components to assist in fixing the information card, thereby greatly reducing the number of overall components, simplifying the overall structure, and reducing production costs.

[0007] Furthermore, a mounting hole is provided on the information card at a position for rotationally connecting with the accommodating slot, and an avoidance hole is provided on one of the slot walls of the accommodating slot, and the avoidance hole is aligned with the mounting hole; the damper includes a step nut and a step bolt, the step nut is fixedly mounted on the slot wall on the inner side of the accommodating slot away from the avoidance hole, and the outer ring of the step nut is provided with a step surface; the end of the step bolt passes through the avoidance hole and is threadedly connected to the step nut, and the information card is sleeved on the step nut through the mounting hole, and one side of the information card abuts against the step surface of the step nut, and the other side of the information card abuts against the shoulder of the step bolt, thereby utilizing the friction and pre-tightening force between the information card and the step bolt and step nut to achieve the corresponding damping function, ensuring that the information card can stay stably after rotating at any angle.

[0008] Alternatively, a mounting hole is provided on the information card at a position for rotationally connecting to the accommodating slot, and an avoidance hole is provided on one of the slot walls of the accommodating slot, and the avoidance hole is aligned with the mounting hole; the damper includes a butterfly washer, a step nut and a step bolt, the step nut is fixedly mounted on the slot wall on the inner side of the accommodating slot away from the avoidance hole, and the outer ring of the step nut is provided with a step surface; the end of the step bolt passes through the avoidance hole and the butterfly washer in turn and is threadedly connected to the step nut, the information card is sleeved on the step nut through the mounting hole, and one side of the information card abuts the step surface, and the other side of the information card abuts the butterfly washer, thereby utilizing the friction and pre-tightening force between the information card, the butterfly washer, the step bolt and the step nut to achieve the corresponding damping function, ensuring that the information card can stay stably after rotating at any angle.

[0009] Furthermore, the information card is provided with a locking portion, which can be locked with the receiving slot to prevent the information card from accidentally sliding out of the receiving slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the locking portion includes a fixing hole that passes through the surface of the information card, and a locking piece is installed in the fixing hole. After extending out of the fixing hole, both ends of the locking piece can contact the groove wall of the accommodating groove, and the friction between the locking piece and the accommodating groove makes the information card less likely to pop out. Moreover, the position of the locking portion and the position of the damper are preferably set at both ends of the information card to ensure that it can achieve an excellent locking effect.

[0011] Furthermore, the information card is provided with a protective protrusion on the periphery of the label installation portion, and the height of the protective protrusion is higher than the thickness of the label attached to the surface of the information card, so that the label can be prevented from being scratched by the protective protrusion.

[0012] Furthermore, the information card is provided with an installation mark at the label installation portion, and the installation mark helps the operator to accurately stick the label on the information card.

[0013] Furthermore, the position on the receiving slot for rotationally connecting with the information card is set at the outermost end of the receiving slot, and the position on the information card for rotationally connecting with the receiving slot is set at the outermost end of the information card to ensure that the information card can fully display the label information.

[0014] Furthermore, the position on the information card for rotational connection with the accommodating slot is set at the corner position of the adjacent two sides of the information card, and the corner on the information card for rotational connection with the accommodating slot is set as a rounded corner, and the outer edge of the information card that can contact the slot wall in the accommodating slot away from the damper is set as an arc to ensure that the information card can rotate smoothly.

[0015] Furthermore, the material of the information card is sheet metal, which not only has the advantages of easy processing and low cost, but also has the characteristics of fast processing speed and good quality compared to traditional plastic sheets.

[0016] On the other hand, the present invention further provides a server, which includes a server chassis, and the above-mentioned information card fixing structure is provided on the server chassis.

[0017] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has the following advantages:

[0018] 1. Since the utility model directly rotates and installs the information card in the receiving slot formed by the free gap space at the front panel and rear panel of the server chassis, it only requires a small space and can be arranged horizontally or vertically on the server chassis without affecting the ventilation and heat dissipation of the front panel or rear panel;

[0019] 2. The utility model can rely on the damping between the damper and the information card to ensure that the information card can stay after rotating to any angle, so as to facilitate the reading needs of users in various links;

[0020] 3. In addition to utilizing the damping between the damper and the information card, the present invention also utilizes the friction between the locking member and the receiving slot to prevent the information card from slipping out of the receiving slot. Moreover, compared with the prior art structure that uses multiple components such as a cover plate and a buckle to assist in fixing the information card, the present invention greatly reduces the number of overall components, simplifies the overall structure, and reduces production costs.

[0021] 4. Since the information card in the utility model is directly made of sheet metal, it has the advantages of easy processing and low cost compared to traditional plastic sheets, and also has the characteristics of fast processing speed and good quality.

[0022] 5. Since the utility model is provided with a protective protrusion on the periphery of the label mounting portion, and the height of the protective protrusion is higher than the thickness of the label attached to the surface of the information card, the protective protrusion can also prevent the label from being scratched during the rotation of the information card;

[0023] 6. Since labels can be attached to both sides of the information card in the present invention, the application range of the entire information card can be expanded. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0036] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, the first embodiment provides an information card fixing structure, which includes an information card 11 made of sheet metal and a receiving slot 3 provided on a server chassis 1 for mounting the information card 11. Figure 3 、 Figure 7 As shown, the information card 11 adopts a rectangular shape, and a corner of the outermost end of the information card 11 is rotatably connected to a corner of the outermost end of the receiving slot 3. When the length of the information card 11 is the same as or close to the length of the receiving slot 3, the corner of the information card 11 at the position for rotationally connecting to the receiving slot 3 is set to a rounded corner, and the outer edge of the information card 11 away from the end of the rotationally connected part with the receiving slot 3 is set to an arc shape, that is, the outer edge of the information card 11 that can contact the groove wall in the receiving slot 3 away from the rotationally connected part between the two is set to an arc shape, so that it can avoid the receiving slot 3 through the rounded corner structure and the arc structure, so as to ensure that the information card 11 can rotate smoothly in the receiving slot 3 and can display the label information to the greatest extent.

[0039] Specifically, if Figures 6 to 10As shown, in the first embodiment, a mounting hole 7 is penetrated at the position on the information card 11 for rotationally connecting with the receiving groove 3, an avoidance hole is opened on one of the groove walls of the receiving groove 3, and the avoidance hole is aligned with the mounting hole 7; a damper is provided on the other groove wall of the receiving groove 3, and the damper includes a step nut 10 and a step bolt 12, the step nut 10 is fixedly installed on the groove wall of the inner side of the receiving groove 3 away from the avoidance hole by riveting, welding, etc., and the outer ring of the step nut 10 is provided with a step surface; the end of the step bolt 12 passes through the avoidance hole and screws with the step nut 10 The information card 11 is connected together by grooves, and the information card 11 is sleeved on the step nut 10 through the mounting hole 7, and one side of the information card 11 is in contact with the step surface of the step nut 10, and the other side of the information card 11 is in contact with the shoulder of the step bolt 12. At this time, the step bolt 12 and the step nut 10 can be tightened in this embodiment, and the friction and pre-tightening force between the information card 11 and the step bolt 12 and the step nut 10 can be used to fix the information card 11 in the receiving slot 3. At the same time, it can also use the corresponding damping function to ensure that the information card 11 can stay stably after rotating at any angle.

[0040] In addition, as a preference, in order to further improve the stability and shock resistance of the information card 11, a butterfly washer 13 can also be provided between the information card 11 and the step bolt 12 in this embodiment. At this time, the damper includes a butterfly washer 13, a step nut 10 and a step bolt 12. The step nut 10 is fixedly installed on the groove wall on the inner side of the accommodating groove 3 away from the avoidance hole by riveting, welding, etc., and the outer ring of the step nut 10 is provided with a step surface; the information card 11 and the butterfly washer 13 are sequentially sleeved on the outer ring of the step nut 10 in the direction close to the avoidance hole, and the end of the step bolt 12 passes through the avoidance hole and the butterfly washer 13 in turn and is threadedly connected to the step nut 10, so that one side of the information card 11 abuts against the step surface, and the other side of the information card 11 abuts against the butterfly washer 13. In this embodiment, in addition to tightening the stepped bolt 12 and stepped nut 10 and utilizing the friction and pre-tightening force between the information card 11, the stepped bolt 12, and the stepped nut 10 to secure the information card 11 within the receiving slot 3, the butterfly washer 13 can also be used to increase the contact area between the information card 11 and the entire damper, thereby improving the securing and damping effects. Furthermore, in addition to the above structure, the damper can also adopt other commonly available structures.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, a label mounting portion for attaching a label 9 is provided in the middle of the front and / or back of the information card 11. The label mounting portion is also provided with mounting marks 8, which help the operator accurately attach the label 9 to the information card 11. The label mounting portion is provided with a circle of protective protrusions 6 around the periphery of the information card 11. The height of the protective protrusions 6 is higher than the thickness of the label 9 attached to the surface of the information card 11 to prevent the label 9 from being scratched. A handle 5 is provided at the outer edge of the information card 11. The handle 5 is always located outside the receiving slot 3 and is used to facilitate the operator to pull it out of the receiving slot 3. When the information card 11 is made of thin material such as sheet metal, a protrusion can be provided on the edge of the information card 11. When a structure with a certain thickness is used according to special needs, a groove can be provided on the edge of the information card 11, etc.

[0042] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, a locking portion 4 is provided on one end of the information card 11, away from the portion where it is rotatably connected to the receiving slot 3.

Specifically, the locking portion 4 includes a fixing hole extending through the surface of the information card 11. A locking member is installed in the fixing hole. The locking member is made of a material with a certain degree of elasticity, such as nylon. After extending out of the fixing hole, both ends of the locking member can contact the slot wall of the receiving slot 3. The friction between the locking member and the receiving slot 3 prevents the information card 11 from being easily ejected, thereby achieving the locking and securing function.

[0043] Because the present invention directly utilizes a damper to pivotally mount the sheet metal information card 11 within the receiving slot 3 formed by the vacant spaces on the front and rear panels of the server chassis 1, it not only takes up minimal space but also, through the damping between the damper and the information card 11, ensures that the information card 11 can remain stationary after being rotated to any angle, facilitating access and reading by users at all levels. Furthermore, compared to traditional plastic sheets, the present invention eliminates the need for numerous additional components to secure the information card 11, reducing the number of components and simplifying the overall structure. Furthermore, the present invention is easy to process, low in cost, fast in processing speed, and high in quality.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, this second embodiment provides a server comprising a server chassis 1 equipped with the information card mounting structure described in the first embodiment. In this embodiment, the information card 11 can be directly rotatably mounted within a receiving slot 3 formed by vacant spaces on the front and rear panels of the server chassis 1. The mounting orientation can be horizontal, vertical, or even diagonal, eliminating the need for occupying a large space. Furthermore, because the information card 11 in this second embodiment is constructed from sheet metal, it can be directly machined using machining equipment, eliminating the need for additional mold design. This significantly reduces overall production costs and design time.
