[0026] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1-5As shown, one embodiment of this utility model provides a novel server ear wing structure, including a base plate 1 and an ear wing shell 2. The ear wing shell 2 is fixedly installed on the base plate 1, and the base plate 1 is used to connect with the screw holes on the server rack.

[0028] The ear wing shell 2 has a first cavity 203 for accommodating the front control board, and the ear wing shell 2 is provided with an interface 4, which is connected to the front control board via signal. The ear wing shell 2 has at least one handle groove 201 on its side.

[0029] In this embodiment, a handle groove 201 is formed on the ear wing shell 2 to replace the traditional handle 5, integrating the ear wing shell 2 and the handle 5 into one unit. This eliminates the need to design molds for the handle 5 and the ear wing shell 2, avoiding material waste, reducing production costs, and achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Furthermore, by replacing the traditional handle 5 with the handle groove 201, there is no need to install the handle 5 separately, reducing the assembly steps of the ear wing structure and improving the installation efficiency of the ear wing structure.

[0030] In this embodiment, the base plate 1 is made of metal and the ear wing shell 2 is made of plastic, and the two are made of different materials.

[0031] In a specific embodiment, the ear wing shell 2 is elongated, and the ear wing shell 2 is provided with a first cavity 203 and a second cavity 204 in descending order. The space between the first cavity 203 and the second cavity 204 is a solid portion, and the handle groove 201 is provided on the solid portion between the first cavity 203 and the second cavity 204. Figure 2 The image shows a front view of the ear wing structure. The back of the ear wing shell 2 has an opening that communicates with the first cavity 203, and the second cavity 204 penetrates the ear wing shell 2.

[0032] Preferred, such as Figure 2 As shown, two handle slots 201 are provided on the side of the ear wing shell 2. The two handle slots 201 are arranged sequentially along the length of the ear wing shell 2, and the two handle slots 201 are located in the solid part between the first cavity 203 and the second cavity 204. It should be noted that the handle slots 201 replace the traditional handles 5, so that the installer can grip the ear wing shell 2 by hooking their fingers onto the handle slots 201.

[0033] It should be noted that the handle groove 201 can be any of the following: rectangular groove, regular polygonal groove, and irregular groove. That is, there is no specific limitation on the specific shape of the handle groove 201.

[0034] As an alternative embodiment, handle grooves 201 are provided on the left and right sides of the ear wing shell 2, and the handle grooves 201 on the left side of the ear wing shell 2 and the handle grooves 201 on the right side of the ear wing shell 2 are in one-to-one correspondence.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, a front control board is installed inside the first cavity 203. An interface slot is opened on the front of the top of the ear wing shell 2. The interface 4 is installed in the interface slot and is connected to the front control board for signal transmission. It should be noted that the interface 4 includes a USB interface and a VGA interface.

[0036] Preferably, a circular hole 202 communicating with the first cavity 203 is provided on the front top of the ear wing shell 2. A screw sleeve corresponding to each circular hole 202 is installed on the front control board. When installing the front control board, it is placed vertically inside the first cavity 203, with the screw sleeve on the front control board aligned with the circular hole 202 on the front top of the ear wing shell 2. Then, the screw is inserted into the circular hole 202 and tightened to quickly fix the front control board into the first cavity 203.

[0037] It should be noted that a wire-passing hole is provided on the ear wing shell 2, which is used for the cables on the front control board to pass through.

[0038] As another specific embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, a front control board is installed inside the first cavity 203. A button socket and an indicator light socket are provided on the front of the top of the ear wing shell 2. A button 6 and an indicator light 7 are installed in the button socket and the indicator light socket, respectively. The button 6 and the indicator light 7 are respectively connected to the front control board for signal transmission.

[0039] To improve the stability of the front control board installation, two round holes 202 are provided. The two round holes 202 are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the ear wing shell 2. Two screw sleeves corresponding to the round holes 202 are provided on the front control board. In this way, the front control board can be stably fixed by fixing it with two screws.

[0040] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base plate 1 includes a first plate 101 and a second plate 102 that are perpendicular to each other. The first plate 101 is used to connect with the ear wing shell 2, and the second plate 102 is used to connect with the cabinet. Specifically, the length of the second plate 102 is less than the length of the first plate 101, and the lower surface of the second plate 102 is flush with the lower surface of the first plate 101.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 4The first cavity 203 contains at least one first screw sleeve 206, and the first plate 101 contains at least one first fixing hole 103 corresponding to each of the first screw sleeves 206. The second cavity 204 contains at least one second screw sleeve 207, and the first plate 101 contains at least one second fixing hole 104 corresponding to each of the second screw sleeves 207. When connecting the base plate 1 and the ear wing shell 2, first attach the back of the ear wing shell 2 to the first plate 101 of the base plate 1, ensuring that the first screw sleeve 206 and the first fixing hole 103 on the first plate 101 are aligned, and that the second screw sleeve 207 and the second fixing hole 104 on the first plate 101 are aligned, and then fix it with screws.

[0042] Furthermore, to ensure the connection strength between the ear wing shell 2 and the first plate 101, such as... Figure 4 Two first screw sleeves 206 are provided in the first cavity 203, and three second screw sleeves 207 are provided in the second cavity 204. Correspondingly, two first fixing holes 103 are opened in the upper half of the first plate 101, and three second fixing holes 104 are opened in the lower half of the first plate 101. In this way, the ear wing shell 2 and the first plate 101 are connected by five screws to ensure the connection strength between the ear wing shell 2 and the first plate 101.

[0043] As a specific example, such as Figure 4 As shown, two third fixing holes 105 are sequentially formed on the second plate 102, and the second fixing holes 105 correspond one-to-one with the screw holes on the rack. When connecting the base plate 1 to the rack, make sure that the second fixing holes 105 are aligned with the screw holes on the side of the rack, and then fix it with screws.

[0044] As a preferred embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, a door panel 3 is hinged to the front of the second cavity 204 via a hinge mechanism, which includes a pin 302 and a compression spring 303. Specifically, a hinge base is installed on the back of the door panel 3. The hinge base includes two parallel ear plates 301, each with a pin hole. Correspondingly, mounting holes 205 are formed on the inner walls of the left and right sides of the second cavity 204 to mate with the pin holes. The pin 302 passes through the mounting hole 205 on one side of the ear wing housing 2 and sequentially through the pin holes on the two ear plates 301, finally exiting through the mounting hole 205 on the other side of the ear wing housing 2. The compression spring 303 is mounted on the pin 302. It should be noted that the distance between the two ear plates 301 is less than the width of the second cavity 204, allowing the hinge base to extend into the second cavity 204. Since the door panel 3 is openable, this facilitates subsequent removal of the screws.

[0045] In this embodiment, compared with conventional server ear flaps, the novel server ear flap structure has at least the following advantages:

[0046] First, by replacing the traditional handle 5 with the handle groove 201 opened on the ear wing shell 2, there is no need to design molds for the ear wing shell 2 and the handle 5 separately, saving material costs and at least one-third of the mold development costs, thus achieving cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

[0047] Secondly, the absence of the traditional handle 5 makes the assembly of the new server ear structure more convenient and faster, reduces the assembly steps, improves the installation efficiency, and allows for single-person operation.

[0048] Third, in the past, the handle 5 and the base plate 1 were connected by screws, resulting in poor connection stability between the handle 5 and the base plate 1. In this embodiment, a more convenient handle design is adopted, which can ensure a longer service life.
