Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a support device with an adjustment mechanism, particularly a support device for the frame of an industrial server, which uses the adjustment mechanism to drive the front bracket to adjust its displacement relative to the adapter plate. Background Technology

[0002] In existing Open Compute Project (OCP) racks, conventional installation methods typically involve interlocking the OCP rack's mounting holes with one side of an adapter plate using fasteners, with the slide rails then attached to the other side of the adapter plate. Alternatively, the OCP rack's mounting holes and the slide rails are interlocked using fasteners. However, when replacing slide rails of different lengths on the other side of the adapter plate, it is often necessary to simultaneously replace the adapter plate with one that matches the slide rail length. For example, the adapter plate may need to be removed from the OCP rack, the slide rails of different lengths replaced, the replaced slide rails attached to another compatible adapter plate, and then all components installed on the OCP rack. This increases costs and installation time. Therefore, addressing these issues of increased costs and time-consuming installation is a key area of ​​research and improvement that industry players are eager to explore. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The main objective of this utility model is to provide a support device with an adjustment mechanism, comprising: a transition plate having a first end and a second end; a front bracket covering one side of the first end of the transition plate and displacing relative to the transition plate; and an adjustment mechanism comprising: a locking member disposed at the first end of the transition plate; a support member disposed at the front end of the front bracket; and an adjustment member pivotally connected through the support member and then through the locking member, wherein the end of the adjustment member away from the locking member has an operating portion protruding from the front bracket, for the adjustment member to drive the front bracket to adjust its displacement relative to the transition plate.

[0004] Preferably, the adjusting member is provided with a flat surface on two opposite sides at the other end of the support member relative to the operating part, and a second guide portion in an arc-shaped convex shape is provided on the other two opposite sides. The locking member is provided with a through hole, and a first guide portion in an arc-shaped concave shape is provided on the two opposite sides of the through hole in the horizontal direction. A first receiving groove is recessed on the other two opposite sides in the vertical direction. When the operating part is rotated, the second guide portion engages with the first guide portion, and the first receiving groove aligns with the flat surface, so that the operating part can rotate to drive the adjusting member to make a fine adjustment of the front and back displacement within the locking member.

[0005] Preferably, a cap is attached to the top of the support member and can be opened or covered on the operating part. By covering the operating part with the cap, the operating part cannot be subjected to force.

[0006] Preferably, the first guide portion and the second guide portion are a matching threaded structure.

[0007] Preferably, a bent portion is protruding on the inner edge surface of the adapter plate, and the upper and lower sides of the adapter plate have two bent sections extending inward. When the adjusting member drives the front bracket to move relative to the adapter plate to a retracted position, the end of the adjusting member away from the locking fastener forms an extension section. The extension section forms a limit between the inner edge surface of the adapter plate, the bent portion and its adjacent bent section.

[0008] Preferably, the support device further includes at least one fastener, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the two bent sections, and the at least one fastener is used to be installed on a pre-set frame.

[0009] Preferably, the adapter plate has at least one fastener, and the front bracket has at least one rail groove for the fastener to pass through, so that after the adjusting member moves the front bracket relative to the adapter plate, it applies force to the fastener to lock it, so that the front bracket is in a locked state relative to the adapter plate.

[0010] Preferably, a mounting piece is assembled to the second end of the adapter plate, and another mounting piece is assembled to the front bracket away from the first end of the adapter plate. The mounting piece and the other mounting piece are used to assemble a preset rail.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the adjusting member away from the support member has a joint portion that connects with the operating part, and the adjusting mechanism has an elastic member. The operating part has a first receiving groove, a spring pin, and a locking part. The first receiving groove is recessed in the operating part, and the spring pin and the locking part are respectively protruding from the surface of the first receiving groove and are misaligned. The joint portion has a second receiving groove, a groove, a first locking groove, and a second locking groove. The second receiving groove is recessed on the end face of the adjusting member away from the support member. The two ends of the elastic member are respectively inserted into the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove. The groove extends from the end face of the adjusting member toward the support member. The first locking groove is located on the side of the groove facing the support member. The first locking groove surrounds and is recessed on the surface of one end of the adjusting member. The second locking groove extends from the first locking groove toward the support member.

[0012] Preferably, when the operating part is in a first state relative to the engaging part, the operating part is rotated relative to the engaging part by applying force, and the engaging part rotates within the first engaging groove. When the first state switches to a second state, the operating part is pressed against the engaging part by applying force, at which time the elastic element deforms elastically, the spring pin enters the groove, and the engaging part moves from the first engaging groove into the second engaging groove. The operating part is then pressed again, causing the spring pin to abut against the groove and rotate the engaging part, allowing the adjusting element to make slight adjustments in its forward and backward displacement within the locking fastener. When the operating part stops pressing against the engaging part and returns to the first state, the elastic element elastically resets, the spring pin disengages from the groove, and the engaging part moves from the second engaging groove into the first engaging groove.

The end 1535 of the adjustment member 153 away from the locking member 151 has an operating part 1531 protruding from the front bracket 12. The end 1535 of the adjustment member 153 away from the support member 152 has a connecting part 1534 that is assembled with the operating part 1531. The elastic member 154 is accommodated between the operating part 1531 and the connecting part 1534.

[0081] Please refer to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the operating part 1531 has a first receiving groove 15311, a spring pin 15312, and a locking part 15313. The first receiving groove 15311 is recessed within the operating part 1531, and the locking part 15313 protrudes from the surface of the first receiving groove 15311. The spring pin 15312 is tightly fitted within the operating part 1531, and the spring pin 15312 and the locking part 15313 are misaligned. The connecting part 1534 has a second receiving groove 15341, a groove 15342, a first locking groove 15343, and a second locking groove 15344. The second receiving groove 15341 is recessed on the end face 1537 of the adjusting member 153 away from the supporting member 152. The two ends of the elastic member 154 are respectively inserted into the first receiving groove 15311 and the second receiving groove 15341. The groove 15342 extends from the end face 1537 of the adjusting member toward the supporting member 152. The first engaging groove 15343 is located on the side 1522 of the groove 15342 facing the supporting member. The first engaging groove 15343 surrounds and is recessed on the surface of one end 1535 of the adjusting member. The second engaging groove 15344 extends from the first engaging groove 15343 toward the supporting member 152.

[0082] Please see Figure 7 As shown, the adjusting member 153 has a flat surface 1532 on two opposite sides of the supporting member 152 relative to the operating part 1531 at the other end 1536. The adjusting member 153 has a second guide part 1533 on the other two opposite sides of the supporting member 152 relative to the operating part 1531 at the other end 1536.

The other two opposite sides of the through hole 1511 have a first guide part 15112. The first guide part 15112 and the second guide part 1533 are respectively a mutually matching threaded structure.

[0083] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figures 8 to 19As shown, when the two ends of the rail member 16 are respectively assembled onto the mounting part 15 of the front bracket 12 and the other mounting part 15 of the adapter plate 11, force is first applied to the two fasteners 115 to loosen them, so that the front bracket 12 is in an unlocked state relative to the adapter plate 11. Then, force is applied to the cap 1521 covering the operating part 1531 to lift the cap 1521 and expose the operating part 1531. At this time, force is applied to the operating part 1531, and the operating part 1531 is in a first state S1 relative to the joint part 1534. Switching to the second state S2, the first guide part 15112 and the second guide part 1533 are disengaged. The first guide part 15112 aligns with the flat surface 1532, and the second guide part 1533 aligns with the through groove 15111. At this time, force is applied to the operating part 1531 to move it in the first direction D1. When the operating part 1531 switches from the second state S2 to the first state S1 relative to the connecting part 153, the adjusting member 153 drives the front bracket 12 to make a rapid displacement adjustment relative to the adapter plate 11. After the adjustment from the retracted position P1 to the predetermined position P2 is completed, the operating part 1531 is rotated again, and the operating part 1531 switches from the first state S1 to the second state S2 relative to the engaging part 1534, so that the first guide part 15112 aligns with the second guide part 1533, and the flat surface 1532 aligns with the through hole groove 15111. The rotation of the operating part 1531 can then drive the adjusting member 153 to make minor adjustments to its position within the locking fastener 151. After the minor adjustments are completed, the operating part... When the relative joint 1531 switches from the second state S2 to the first state S1, force is applied to the cap 1521 so that the cap 1521 covers and covers the operating part 1531. This prevents the operating part 1531 from being rotated and the adjusting part 153 from being moved back and forth within the locking fastener 151 for fine adjustment. Finally, force is applied to the two fasteners 115 to lock them in place (the order in which the two fasteners 115 and the cap 1521 are applied can be interchanged), so that the front bracket 12 is locked relative to the adapter plate 11.

[0084] Please refer to it again. Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, when the operating part 1531 is in the first state S1 relative to the engaging part 1534, the operating part 1531 applies force to rotate relative to the engaging part 1534, and the engaging part 15313 rotates within the first engaging groove 15343. When the first state S1 switches to the second state S2, the operating part 1531 is pressed against the engaging part 1534, the elastic element 154 deforms elastically, the spring pin 15312 enters the groove 15342, and the engaging part 15313 moves out of the first engaging groove 1534. 3. Enter the second engaging groove 15344 and apply force to the operating part 1531 again, so that the spring pin 15312 abuts against the groove 15342 and the engaging part 1534 rotates. When the operating part 1531 switches from the second state S2 to the first state S1 relative to the engaging part 1534, stop pressing the operating part 1531. The elastic element 154 elastically resets, the spring pin 15312 disengages from the groove 15342, and the engaging part 15313 enters the first engaging groove 15343 from the second engaging groove 15344.

[0085] Through the above actions, the overall length of the adapter plate 11 and the front bracket 12 is adjusted to adapt to the size differences of different rail components 16, so as to achieve precise positioning and have the function of quick adjustment and fine adjustment.

[0086] Please also refer to Figure 1 and Figure 20 As shown, when both ends of the rail member 16 are disassembled from the mounting member 15 of the front bracket 12 and the other mounting member 15 of the adapter plate 11, except for the change of the locking state, the opening and closing of the cap, the other movement directions are opposite to the above movements. When the adjusting member 15 drives the front bracket 12 to move relative to the adapter plate 11 to a retracted position P1, the end 1535 of the adjusting member 15 away from the locking fastener 151 forms an extension section 1538. The extension section 1538 is located between the inner edge surface 116, the bent portion 111 and its adjacent bent portion 114 of the adapter plate 11 to form a limit.
