[0037] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] To address the problem that rack-mounted servers require significant time to disassemble and install in existing technologies, this invention provides a locking component and chassis.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the locking assembly includes a main body 10, a first connector 20, a second connector 30, and a first reset member 40. The main body 10 is used to connect to the server 110 and the rack of the chassis. The first connector 20 and the second connector 30 are rotatably connected and coaxially arranged, and the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 are movably inserted through the main body 10. The end of the second connector 30 away from the first connector 20 is the operating end, and the end of the first connector 20 away from the second connector 30 is provided with a locking structure 21, which is used to engage with the locking hole 1201 on the rack for locking. The first reset member 40 is disposed at the connection between the first connector 20 and the second connector 30, and abuts against the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 respectively. The first reset member 40 is used to provide a reset force for the first connector 20 to rotate back to its initial state.

[0040] By connecting the main body 10 with the server 110, the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting piece 30 are movably arranged on the main body 10. Since the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting piece 30 can rotate on the main body 10, during the process of connecting the main body 10 with the rack, the first connecting piece 20 gradually extends into the locking hole 1201, the locking structure 21 abuts against the inner wall of the locking hole 1201, the locking structure 21 is out of the initial state, that is, the first connecting piece 20 rotates on the main body 10. At this time, the first reset piece 40 is deformed under pressure, and when the first reset piece 40 is deformed enough and the locking structure 21 extends into the locking hole 1201, the first connecting piece 20 returns to the initial state due to the reset force, thereby realizing the locking of the locking structure 21 and the locking hole 1201, thereby avoiding the inconvenience of disassembly caused by connecting the server 110 and the rack with screws, and reducing the installation time.

[0041] In the embodiment, the locking structure 21 extends along the radial direction of the first connecting piece 20, the locking structure 21 extends along the axial direction of the first connecting piece 20, the outer circumferential surface of the locking structure 21 has a guide spiral surface 211, the guide spiral surface 211 gradually approaches the first connecting piece 20 in the direction away from the second connecting piece 30, and the guide spiral surface 211 is used to abut against the inner side wall of the locking hole 1201.

[0042] Specifically, the locking structure 21 is integrally formed with the first connecting piece 20, and the thickness between the locking structure 21 and the first connecting piece 20 gradually decreases in the direction away from the second connecting piece 30, that is, the guide spiral surface 211 gradually approaches one end of the first connecting piece 20 away from the second connecting piece 30 along the axial direction of the first connecting piece 20. Due to the arrangement of the guide spiral surface 211, when the locking structure 21 abuts against the inner side wall of the locking hole 1201, the first connecting piece 20 can rotate relative to the main body 10 through the guide spiral surface 211 as the first connecting piece 20 gradually penetrates into the locking hole 1201.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 4 and Figures 9 to 11 , the main body 10 includes a connecting plate 11, the connecting plate 11 is used to connect the server 110 and the rack, the connecting plate 11 is provided with a first through hole 111, and the first connecting piece 20 is movably arranged in the first through hole 111.

[0044] Specifically, the first through hole 111 is a circular hole, and the first connecting piece 20 can rotate in the first through hole 111 or move along the axial direction of the first connecting piece 20. Optionally, the diameter of the first through hole 111 is smaller than the thickness of the second connecting piece 30 and the locking structure 21, so that the first connecting piece 20 can only partially move in the first through hole 111 to limit the locking structure 21.

[0045] As Figures 5 to 7 shown in the drawings, one end of the first connecting piece 20 is provided with a first connecting structure 22, the first connecting structure 22 is a plurality of, the plurality of first connecting structures 22 are arranged along the circumference of the first connecting piece 20, one end of the second connecting piece 30 is provided with a second connecting structure 31, the second connecting structure 31 is a plurality of, the plurality of second connecting structures 31 are arranged along the circumference of the second connecting piece 30 and correspond to the plurality of first connecting structures 22, the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 are circumferentially connected and form a limiting stop, and the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 between the adjacent first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 in the plurality of first connecting structure 22 and the plurality of second connecting structure 31 have a movable gap 50.

[0046] Specifically, two first connecting structures 22 are arranged on the first connecting piece 20, two second connecting structures 31 are arranged on the second connecting piece 30, the two first connecting structures 22 are arranged corresponding along the radial direction of the first connecting piece 20, and the two second connecting structures 31 are arranged corresponding along the radial direction of the second connecting piece 30. During installation, the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting piece 30 are coaxially arranged and close to each other, one first connecting structure 22 is matched with one second connecting structure 31, and the adjacent first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 have a movable gap 50, so that the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting piece 30 can be relatively rotated. Of course, the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 can also be more, such as three or four, the number of first connecting structures 22 and second connecting structures 31 is always the same, and one first connecting structure 22 corresponds to one second connecting structure 31.

[0047] As Figures 6 to 7 shown in the drawings, one end of the first connecting piece 20 close to the second connecting piece 30 and one end of the second connecting piece 30 close to the first connecting piece 20 are provided with a positioning column 60, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 70, the positioning column 60 is at least partially inserted into the positioning groove 70, and the first reset piece 40 is sleeved on the positioning column 60.

[0048] Specifically, the first connecting piece 20 is provided with a positioning column 60, and the second connecting piece 30 is provided with a positioning groove 70, the positioning column 60 and the positioning groove 70 are respectively located at the center of the end face of the first connecting piece 20 and the second connecting piece 30, and the two are coaxially arranged, the first reset piece 40 is sleeved on the positioning column 60 first during connection, and then the positioning column 60 is matched with the positioning groove 70. The positioning column 60 is a cylindrical structure, the opening size of the positioning groove 70 is matched with the positioning column 60, so that the first reset piece 40 abuts against the end face of the end of the second connecting piece 30 facing the first connecting piece 20.

[0049] In the embodiment, the outer surfaces of the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 are flush with the outer surfaces of the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 respectively, and the thicknesses of the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 are the same.

[0050] As shown in Figures 5 to 7 , the first reset member 40 is a clasp spring, and the one first connecting structure 22 and the adjacent one second connecting structure 31 in the plurality of first connecting structures 22 and the plurality of second connecting structures 31 are both provided with an abutting protrusion 80, which is used for abutting the first reset member 40.

[0051] Specifically, the connection between the first connecting structure 22 and the first connecting member 20 is provided with one abutting protrusion 80, and the connection between the second connecting structure 31 and the second connecting member 30 is provided with one abutting protrusion 80, and the two abutting protrusions 80 are located on opposite sides of the adjacent first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31, and the two ends of the first reset member 40 abut the two abutting protrusions 80 respectively, when the first connecting member 20 and the second connecting member 30 rotate relative to each other, the two abutting protrusions 80 approach each other to compress the clasp spring, and the clasp spring continuously accumulates reset force after being compressed, that is, the elastic force of the clasp spring continuously increases. Optionally, in order to avoid the first reset member 40 from being separated from the abutting protrusion 80, a clamping groove is further provided on the abutting protrusion 80, and the two ends of the first reset member 40 are clamped in the clamping groove. At the same time, the elastic reset characteristic of the clasp spring enables it to maintain good performance after long-term use, reduces the replacement frequency, and further reduces the maintenance cost.

[0052] As shown in Figures 6 to 7 , the first connecting structure 22 and the second connecting structure 31 are both L-shaped, the first connecting structure 22 comprises a first extension segment 221 and a first bending segment 222 connected in sequence, the first extension segment 221 is arranged to extend along the axial direction of the first connecting member 20, and the first bending segment 222 extends along the circumferential direction of the first connecting member 20, a first recess 223 is formed between the first bending segment 222, the first extension segment 221 and the first connecting member 20, the second connecting structure 31 comprises a second extension segment 311 and a second bending segment 312 connected in sequence, the second extension segment 311 is arranged to extend along the axial direction of the second connecting member 30, and the second bending segment 312 extends along the circumferential direction of the second connecting member 30, a second recess 313 is formed between the second bending segment 312, the second extension segment 311 and the second connecting member 30, the first bending segment 222 is accommodated in the corresponding second recess 313, and the second bending segment 312 is accommodated in the corresponding first recess 223.

[0053] Specifically, the extension directions of the two first bending segments 222 are the same, and the extension directions of the two first bending segments 222 are both counterclockwise from the right side direction in Figure 6 , and the extension directions of the two second bending segments 312 are the same, and the extension directions of the two second bending segments 312 are both counterclockwise from the right side direction in Figure 7Viewed from the left, the two second bending segments 312 extend counterclockwise. The first groove 223 and the second bending segment 312 are matched, and the second groove 313 is matched with the first bending segment 222. The first groove 223 and the second groove 313 have the same length. When the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 rotate together, the second bending segment 312 moves along the circumference of the first connector 20 within the first groove 223. Since the two ends of the first reset member 40 abut against the two abutting protrusions 80 respectively, the length of the movable gap 50 in the circumferential direction of the first connector 20 can be equal to or less than the length of the first groove 223, so as to avoid the first bending segment 222 disengaging from the first groove 223, causing the first connector 20 and the second connector 30 to separate.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 4 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the locking assembly also includes a pull ring 90, which is pivotally connected to the end of the second connector 30 away from the first connector 20. The pull ring 90 is used to rotate and pull the second connector 30.

[0055] Specifically, the pull ring 90 is provided with a connecting arm 92, which is connected to the extension arm 32 on the second connecting member 30 via a pivot member 150. After the pivot member 150 connects the second connecting member 30 and the pull ring 90, it is limited by a buckle 160. Thus, when the second connecting member 30 needs to be pulled, the pull ring 90 is rotated so that the length direction of the pull ring 90 coincides with the axial direction of the second connecting member 30. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, pulling the pull ring 90 in a direction away from the second connector 30 will pull out the server 110 connected to the locking component.

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the locking assembly also includes a second reset member 100, which is disposed between the second connector 30 and the pull ring 90, and provides a reset force to rotate to the initial state.

[0057] Specifically, the second reset member 100 is a retaining ring, the pull ring 90 is provided with a first abutment structure 93, and the second connecting member 30 is provided with a second abutment structure 33. The two ends of the second reset member 100 abut against the first abutment structure 93 and the second abutment structure 33, respectively. In use, the locking assembly is set vertically, as shown in Figure 3. The second reset member 100 keeps the pull ring 90 in contact with the main body 10. When the pull ring 90 needs to be pulled, the user pulls the pull ring 90 downward so that it and the second connecting member 30 are both in a horizontal state. After use, the second reset member 100 drives the pull ring 90 to reset.

[0058] like Figure 1 , Figures 3 to 4As shown, the main body part 10 further comprises a shell 12, a second through hole 121 is formed on the shell 12, and the second connecting piece 30 is movably arranged in the second through hole 121.

[0059] Specifically, the second through hole 121 coincides with the axis of the first through hole 111. A third through hole 123 is formed on the shell 12, and a connecting hole 112 is formed on the connecting plate 11, the third through hole 123 is arranged corresponding to the connecting hole 112. The shell 12 and the connecting plate 11 are connected by a screw 180, so as to prevent the shell 12 from being separated from the connecting plate 11.

[0060] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 , the locking assembly further comprises a pull ring 90, the pull ring 90 is pivotally connected with the operation end, an avoiding opening 122 is formed on the shell 12, a limiting protrusion 91 is arranged on the side of the pull ring 90 facing the shell 12, the limiting protrusion 91 extends into the avoiding opening 122 and is limited and stopped by the side of the avoiding opening 122.

[0061] Specifically, the limiting protrusion 91 is two, the two limiting protrusions 91 are arranged at intervals, when the pull ring 90 is attached to the shell 12, the limiting protrusion 91 extends into the avoiding opening 122, so that when the locking structure 21 abuts against the locking hole 1201 and the first connecting piece 20 is pressed to rotate the second connecting piece 30 through the first reset piece 40, the first connecting piece 20 is prevented from rotating the second connecting piece 30 through the first reset piece 40, thereby limiting the pull ring 90 and limiting the second connecting piece 30.
