AI Technical Summary
Existing server racks do not provide adequate protection for data cables, leading to damage at the connection points between the data cables and the rack due to prolonged friction, thus affecting their lifespan.
A server rack was designed, which uses a cable management system including a cable frame, an L-shaped mounting bracket, a support spring, an arc-shaped clamping plate, and positioning foam. The elastic support of the support spring and the positioning clamping of the arc-shaped clamping plate prevent the data cable from being perpendicularly connected to the cable frame. Combined with the support of the arc-shaped support plate, the data cable is stably positioned.
It effectively prevents wear and tear at the connection between the data cable and the cabinet, improves the service life of the data cable and the practicality of the device, and ensures a stable connection of the data cable inside the cabinet.

A connecting slide plate 11 is provided at the bottom of the support spring 10, and an arc-shaped clamping plate 12 is provided at the bottom of the connecting slide plate 11. A positioning sponge 13 is provided at the bottom of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12. The through groove 5 extends through the ribbon cable frame 4. Four connecting slide grooves 8 are provided on the bottom inner wall of the through groove 5, symmetrically distributed at the top and bottom of the through groove 5. A mounting rail 7 is slidably connected inside the connecting slide groove 8, and the mounting rail 7 corresponds to the connecting slide groove 8. An L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting rail 7 away from the connecting slide groove 8, and the top and bottom of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 are respectively connected to the through groove 8. The top of the groove 5 contacts the bottom inner wall. The bottom inner wall of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is connected to a positioning bolt 17 by a thread. The positioning bolt 17 is located in the middle of the bottom inner wall of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6. The bottom end of the positioning bolt 17 passes through the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 and contacts the cable frame 4. The side away from the positioning bolt 17 of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is fixedly connected to a mounting side plate 9. There are two mounting side plates 9, which are symmetrically distributed on the top and bottom sides of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6. The two mounting side plates 9 are in contact with the top and bottom inner walls of the groove 5, respectively. The side away from the cable frame 4 of the mounting side plate 9 is fixedly connected to a support spring 10. The end of the support spring 10 away from the mounting side plate 9 is fixedly connected to a connecting slide plate 11. The side of the connecting slide plate 11 is slidably connected to the L-shaped mounting bracket 6. The connecting slide plate 11 and the mounting side plate 9 are correspondingly set, and the support spring 10 is located between the connecting slide plate 11 and the mounting side plate 9.
[0025] An arc-shaped clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting slide plate 11 away from the supporting spring 10. There are two arc-shaped clamping plates 12, symmetrically distributed between the two connecting slide plates 11. The arc-shaped clamping plates 12 are located in the middle of the side of the L-shaped mounting bracket 6, and the two arc-shaped clamping plates 12 are arranged in a ring. A positioning sponge 13 is installed in the middle of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12, and the positioning sponge 13 is arranged in a fan shape. The positioning sponge 13 is corresponding to the arc-shaped clamping plate 12. A groove 14 is opened in the middle of the positioning sponge 13. A cable tray 15 is provided between the two arc-shaped clamping plates 12, and the cable tray 15 and the groove 14 are interconnected. The side of the cable tray frame 4 closest to the inside of the cabinet 1 passes through... An arc-shaped support plate 16 is bolted on, and there are two arc-shaped support plates 16, which are symmetrically distributed on the side of the cable tray 4 near the cabinet 1. The two arc-shaped support plates 16 are located in the middle of the cable tray 4. The arc-shaped support plates 16 and the arc-shaped clamping plates 12 are arranged adjacent to each other. The cable tray assembly 3 is used to route cables to the electronic equipment inside the cabinet 1. The support spring 10 is used to position and clamp the data cable to the connecting slide plate 11, the arc-shaped clamping plates 12 and the positioning sponge 13. The arc-shaped support plates 16 are used to support the data cable and prevent the data cable from being connected perpendicularly to the cable tray 4, which would damage the data cable and improve the practicality of the device.
[0026] It should be noted that this utility model is a server rack. In use, pulling the connecting slide plate 11 causes it to drive the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 to compress the support spring 10. The data cable is placed in the positioning sponge 13 in the middle of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12. Releasing the connecting slide plate 11 removes the force applied to the support spring 10, causing the support spring 10 to spring back. The connecting slide plate 11 then drives the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 to clamp the data cable placed in the middle of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12 at the bottom. A positioning sponge 13 is installed in the middle of the arc-shaped clamping plate 12. Positioning sponge 13 has a groove 14 in the middle, which is used to hold the data cable in place, further securing the data cable. At the same time, the positioning sponge 13 protects the data cable from damage during prolonged clamping, thus ensuring stable operation. Additionally, an L-shaped mounting bracket 6 is provided on the side of the cable tray 4 closest to the inside of the cabinet 1. The L-shaped mounting bracket 6 provides positioning support for the data cable, ensuring an arc-shaped connection and preventing the data cable from breaking due to an excessively small angle at the connection point, which would affect the lifespan of the data cable.
