Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server chassis structure technology, and in particular to a horizontal server chassis structure. Background Technology

[0002] A typical server chassis has a horizontal structure, with panels assembled with screws on the top, bottom, left, right, front, and back. To ensure strength, reinforcing plates are also installed inside the assembled chassis with screws. For easy handling, a handle is also installed on the front panel.

[0003] However, this screw-mounting method is very inconvenient during assembly and requires a screwdriver. If there are a large number of cases, this structure results in assembly taking a lot of time and being labor-intensive.

[0004] Based on this, a particularly simple chassis structure was designed, which can be assembled very quickly after the internal components are arranged, and can be assembled without the need for tools; for the assembly of a large number of chassis, it can greatly improve assembly efficiency and reduce stress. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a server horizontal chassis structure that is simple in structure, easy to disassemble and assemble, has high assembly efficiency, and reduces assembly labor intensity, thus solving the problems of complex chassis structure, inconvenient assembly, and high assembly labor intensity in the existing chassis.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a horizontal server chassis structure, including a front panel, a rear panel, a left panel, a right panel, an upper panel, and a lower panel, and these panels are assembled to form a rectangular chassis;

[0007] The left and right plates have slots on their opposite sides, and the left and right edges of the upper and lower plates are inserted into the corresponding slots. The left and right plates have through holes along the front and back direction, and the bolt rod passes through the rear plate, the through hole, and the front plate in sequence before being locked by the handle thread.

[0008] During installation, the upper and lower plates are directly installed with the left and right plates through the slots. Then, the bolt rods are passed through the rear plate, through the through hole, and the front plate, and locked with the handle. It is very simple and convenient and can be completed without the aid of tools.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the handle is C-shaped, and the C-shaped end has a rotating part with a threaded hole A on the rotating part; when the rotating part rotates, the end of the bolt rod is screwed into the threaded hole A.

[0010] Furthermore, the front end of the bolt rod is a threaded section, and the remaining part of the rod is a polygonal prism section; the through hole is a polygonal hole, and the through hole is adapted to the polygonal prism section.

[0011] Furthermore, the handle includes an arc-shaped segment, and rotatable rotating parts are provided at both ends of the arc-shaped segment. The two rotating parts together with the arc-shaped segment form a C-shaped structure.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the upper and lower edges of the left and right plates are bent in a horizontal direction, and slots and through holes are provided at the bends.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the upper and lower edges of the rear plate are respectively provided with reinforcing ribs A in the horizontal direction, the upper and lower edges of the front plate are respectively provided with reinforcing ribs B in the left and right direction, and the left and right edges of the front plate are respectively provided with reinforcing ribs C in the vertical direction; after the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs C are respectively attached to the inner walls of the upper and lower plates, forming a structure that opens the chassis in the vertical and horizontal directions; after the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs A and B are respectively attached to the inner walls of the left and right plates, forming a structure that opens the chassis in the left and right directions.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner surface of the lower plate has multiple reinforcing ribs D along the front-to-back direction, forming a structure that prevents the entire chassis from bending and deforming in the front-to-back direction; after the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs D abut against the inner walls of the front plate and the rear plate respectively, forming a structure that expands the chassis along the front-to-back direction.

[0015] To facilitate understanding, the principles and core design points of this solution will be explained:

[0016] 1. The left, right, top, and bottom plates are fixed by slots. Then, the front and rear plates are fixed by bolts. The rotating part of the handle is equivalent to a nut. The rotating part cooperates with the front end of the bolt. Thus, the front and rear plates are fixed to the left and rear plates. After assembly, the individual plates cannot move in the front-back, left-right, or front-back directions. Thus, the assembly and fixation of the entire box is achieved.

[0017] Since the assembly process only involves two actions: inserting and bolting, compared to the traditional method of using a large number of screws and fixing with a screwdriver, this solution is exceptionally simple and convenient to assemble.

[0018] Second, by setting reinforcing ribs A, B, C, and D on the corresponding plates, the entire box has good rigidity and will not dent or deform. The corresponding reinforcing ribs are located on the corresponding plates by welding / integral molding, saving the step of installing additional reinforcing plates with screws in the traditional installation.

[0019] This utility model has the following advantages:

[0020] (1) Disassembly and assembly are very simple and quick;

[0021] Traditional server horizontal chassis are assembled with screws connecting the front, rear, left, right, top, and bottom panels. To ensure strength, additional reinforcing plates are also fixed inside the chassis with screws. The assembly of the entire chassis is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0022] In this solution, the left, right, top, and bottom panels are directly assembled via slots, and then the front and rear panels are assembled and fixed using bolts and handles. The entire installation process is very simple and convenient, and the assembly efficiency is very high.

[0023] (2) The structure is fixed and reliable, and the weight is light;

[0024] Traditional server horizontal chassis use thin plates for each board, making the assembled chassis prone to deformation. Therefore, reinforcing plates are often installed inside the chassis, which increases the weight of the entire chassis. In addition, in order to avoid the chassis being too heavy, the number of reinforcing plates is limited, which can lead to dents after the chassis is assembled (for example, some only have one reinforcing plate on the inner bottom, but the top surface and left and right sides are prone to dents).

[0025] In this solution, strength is improved by using reinforcing ribs. Because the reinforcing ribs are small in size, the weight of all the reinforcing ribs is less than that of traditional reinforcing plates, thus reducing the weight of the entire box.

[0026] In this design, the positions of each reinforcing rib are precisely defined, which can effectively support the entire box and prevent dents, making the entire box sturdy.

[0027] In this solution, the reinforcing ribs and the corresponding plates can be welded or integrally formed, so there is no need to fix them during assembly, which is equivalent to omitting the step of fixing the reinforcing plates in the traditional installation method.

[0042] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following description.

[0043] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "left" and "right" is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship that the product of this invention is usually placed in during use, or the orientation or positional relationship that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art. Such terms are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0044] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0045] like Figures 1-10 As shown, the server horizontal chassis structure proposed in this embodiment includes a front panel 1, a rear panel 2, a left panel 3, a right panel 4, an upper panel 5, and a lower panel 6, and these panels are assembled to form a rectangular chassis.

[0046] Slots 341 are provided on the upper and lower edges of the opposite sides of the left plate 3 and the right plate 4. The slots 341 are fitted into the left and right edges of the upper plate 5 and the lower plate 6.

[0047] Furthermore, through holes 342 are made on the left plate 3 and the right plate 4 in the front-to-back direction; the bolt rod 7 passes through the rear plate 2, the through hole 342 and the front plate 1 in sequence, and is then locked by the handle 8 thread.

[0048] During installation, the left plate 3, right plate 4, upper plate 5, and lower plate 6 are assembled via slot 341. Then, the front plate 1 and rear plate 2 are locked and fixed by bolt rod 7 and handle 8 (the handle is equivalent to a lock nut). The installation only requires two steps and is very simple and convenient. Compared with the traditional method of assembling with a large number of screws, the installation efficiency of this solution is exceptionally high.

[0049] See Figure 7 The structure of the threaded rod 7 was designed; the rear end of the bolt rod 7 is a cap, the front end is a threaded section, and the middle rod is a polygonal prism section 72. The length of the cap is more than 0.5cm and is easy to hold; the through hole 342 is a polygonal hole shape, which is adapted to the polygonal prism section 72 for installation to prevent the bolt rod 7 from rotating; the threaded section is threadedly engaged with the rotating part 81 on the handle 8 for locking.

[0050] See Figure 1 and Figure 9 The handle 8 was designed to include a rotating part 81 and an arc-shaped section 82. Both ends of the arc-shaped section 82 have rotating parts 81 that can rotate, and the three together form a C-shape.

[0051] The rotating part 81 and the arc-shaped section 82 are connected by a connector 83.

[0052] The connector 83 is in the shape of a threaded rod, and its end has a ball head;

[0053] A threaded hole B821 is opened at the end face of the arc segment 82, and a threaded hole A811 is opened in the rotating part 81 to pass through it. The threaded hole A811 includes a threaded hole Aa811-1 in the front large diameter section and a threaded hole Ab811-2 in the rear small diameter section. The threaded hole Ab811-2 has the same diameter as the threaded hole A811, and the stepped surface connecting the threaded holes Aa811-1 and Ab811-2 is spherical arc.

[0054] During installation, glue is applied to the threaded rod of connector 83, and then it is passed from the threaded hole Aa811-1 of rotating part 81 to the threaded hole Ab811-2. The threaded rod of connector 83 is screwed into the threaded hole B821, and the ball head of connector 83 is matched with the corresponding spherical arc. When the glue solidifies, it is fixed.

[0055] The handle 8 is threaded to the front end of the threaded rod 7 through the threaded hole Aa811-1.

[0056] See Figure 3 and Figure 4 The upper and lower edges of the left plate 3 and the right plate 4 are bent horizontally, and slots 341 and through holes 342 are provided at the bends. This bending structure can improve the rigidity and strength of the left plate 3 and the right plate 4.

[0057] See Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 The rear plate 2 has horizontal reinforcing ribs A21 at the upper and lower edges, horizontal reinforcing ribs B11 at the upper and lower edges, and horizontal reinforcing ribs C12 at the left and right edges.

[0058] After the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing rib C12 are respectively attached to the inner walls of the upper plate 5 and the lower plate 6, forming a structure that opens the chassis vertically in opposite directions; after the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs A21 and B11 are respectively attached to the inner walls of the left plate 3 and the right plate 4, forming a structure that opens the chassis horizontally in the left and right directions.

[0059] See Figure 5 On the inner surface of the lower plate 6, there are multiple reinforcing ribs D61 along the front-to-back direction, forming a structure that prevents the entire chassis from bending and deforming in the front-to-back direction. After the server horizontal chassis is assembled, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs D61 abut against the inner walls of the front plate 1 and the rear plate 2 respectively, forming a structure that expands the chassis along the front-to-back direction.

[0060] The above embodiments only illustrate preferred implementation methods, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
