Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server accessory technology, specifically a server mount. Background Technology
[0002] Server mounts, also known as server ears or rack mounts, are hardware accessories used to mount and secure servers or other network equipment to racks. This design allows users to easily slide the equipment into the rack and secure it in place, ensuring that the equipment is placed stably and safely in the appropriate location.
[0003] Application No. 202420240762.8 discloses a mounting bracket, a server, and a computing device. The mounting bracket is used to fix the server to a cabinet. The mounting bracket includes a mounting bracket housing and a snap-fit assembly, which is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket housing. The mounting bracket housing includes a first receiving cavity and a first opening communicating with the first receiving cavity. The snap-fit assembly includes an adapter and a buckle connected to the adapter. The adapter is located in the first receiving cavity and aligned with the first opening. The buckle extends out of the first receiving cavity to snap onto the cabinet. A force is applied to the adapter to rotate the buckle, thereby disengaging the buckle from the cabinet. The mounting bracket provided in this application simplifies the server disassembly process, increases server disassembly efficiency, and improves space utilization within the cabinet by snapping the mounting bracket onto the cabinet.
[0004] This technical solution uses a long lever arm buckle to quickly limit or release the server from the rack. However, in actual use, the size of the mounting ear is relatively small. As shown in Figures 7 and 14 of this technical solution, the buckle only occupies about half the size of the mounting ear. Therefore, in actual operation, the operator can only insert their fingers into the mounting ear to release the buckle. The mounting ear has many elastic and moving parts, and the operator's fingers also need to move. This makes it easy for the operator's fingers to get pinched or pressed after being inserted, resulting in finger injuries, which is very inconvenient. Utility Model Content
[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a server mount to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background section.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a server mounting ear, comprising a rack base plate and a mounting ear body, wherein a torsion spring shaft is connected to one side inside the mounting ear body, and a dial wheel and a first gear are respectively sleeved on the outside of the torsion spring shaft; a support shaft is connected to the other side inside the mounting ear body, and a second gear is sleeved on the outside of the support shaft; a limit plate is fixed to the back of the support shaft; and a support plate is fixed to the middle of the back of the mounting ear body.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating dial causes the torsion spring shaft to rotate and compress, storing energy. At the same time, the support shaft drives the limiting plate to rotate, so that the four sides and four corners of the limiting plate correspond to the four sides and four corners of the support plate. Then, the support plate can be inserted into the slot to complete the operation of installing the server body through the hanging ear body, or the support plate can be pulled out of the slot to complete the operation of disassembling the server body. When the support plate is inserted into the slot, the rotating dial is stopped. At this time, the torsion spring shaft drives the dial and the support shaft to reverse, so that the limiting plate reverses half a turn and abuts against the support frame to prevent the hanging ear body from falling off and thus prevent the server body from falling off.
[0008] Furthermore, the dial is rotatably connected to the lug body via a torsion spring shaft, and the outer ring of the dial is provided with multiple protrusions in a ring array.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the operator rotates the dial to compress and store energy in the torsion spring shaft. After the dial rotates, it drives the first gear to rotate, and multiple protrusions increase the friction between the operator's fingers and the dial.
[0010] Furthermore, the diameter of the first gear is larger than the diameter of the second gear, and the first gear meshes with the second gear.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the diameter of the first gear is larger than that of the second gear, a speed-increasing mechanism is formed, which allows the operator to achieve a half-turn rotation angle of the support shaft and the limiting plate by simply turning the dial at a small angle.
[0012] Furthermore, the support shaft is rotatably connected to the lug body and the support plate respectively, and the limiting plate is slidably connected to the support plate.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the dial wheel rotates and drives the first gear to rotate. The first gear meshes with the second gear and drives the support shaft to rotate. Then the support shaft drives the limiting plate to rotate. After the limiting plate rotates, its four sides and four corners correspond to the four sides and four corners of the support plate.
[0014] Furthermore, support frames are fixed on both sides of the top of the cabinet base plate. The outer surface of the support frame is provided with a slot, and multiple server bodies are arranged between the two support frames. Multiple mounting ears are provided, and the multiple mounting ears are located on both sides of the multiple server bodies.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the staff put the server body into the support frame, so that the hanging ear body fits against the outer surface of the support frame, and the support plate is inserted into the slot.
[0016] Furthermore, multiple interfaces are installed on one side of the outer surface of the server body, and the multiple interfaces are distributed in a rectangular array.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple interfaces arranged in a rectangular array on the outer surface of the server body are used to connect the server body to power and network cables, thereby enabling data flow.
[0018] Furthermore, the limiting plate abuts against the support frame, and the support plate is detachably connected to the slot.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, after the support plate is inserted into the slot, the operator stops rotating the dial wheel. At this time, the dial wheel and the support shaft are reversed by the torsion spring shaft, so that the limit plate reverses half a turn and blocks the support frame to prevent the hanging ear body from falling off and thus prevent the server body from falling off.
[0020] Furthermore, a guide rod is fixed to the outer surface of the limiting plate, and a guide groove is provided on the lower back of the support plate.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod and guide groove ensure that the limiting plate can only rotate in the direction of the guide groove, thus avoiding damage to the torsion spring shaft caused by the operator rotating the dial in the wrong direction.
[0022] Furthermore, the guide groove is semi-circular in shape, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the guide groove.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate rotates while driving the guide rod to move. The guide rod slides in the guide groove, thereby guiding and limiting the limiting plate.
[0024] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0025] 1. This utility model utilizes a dial wheel, torsion spring shaft, support shaft, limiting plate, and support plate. Rotating the dial wheel causes the torsion spring shaft to rotate and compress, storing force. Simultaneously, the support shaft drives the limiting plate to rotate, aligning the four sides and four corners of the limiting plate with the four sides and four corners of the support plate. The support plate can then be inserted into the slot to install the server body via the mounting ear, or removed from the slot to disassemble the server body. Once the support plate is inserted, stopping the dial wheel rotation causes the torsion spring shaft to drive the dial wheel and support shaft in reverse, causing the limiting plate to rotate half a turn and press against the support frame, preventing the mounting ear from detaching and thus preventing the server body from falling off. The structure is simple and easy to operate, and fingers do not need to be inserted into the mounting ear, reducing the risk of fingers being squeezed or pinched, thus improving safety.
[0026] 2. This utility model, through the setting of the first gear and the second gear, allows the dial wheel to rotate after rotating, driving the first gear to rotate. The first gear meshes with the second gear, driving the support shaft to rotate. Since the diameter of the first gear is larger than the diameter of the second gear, a speed-increasing mechanism is formed, allowing the operator to achieve a half-turn rotation angle of the support shaft and the limiting plate by only rotating the dial wheel by a small angle; this facilitates operation and improves convenience.

[0033] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] A type of server mount, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the device includes a cabinet base plate 1 and a mounting bracket body 5. A torsion spring shaft 7 is connected to one side of the mounting bracket body 5. A dial wheel 6 and a first gear 8 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the torsion spring shaft 7. The dial wheel 6 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket body 5 via the torsion spring shaft 7. The outer ring of the dial wheel 6 has multiple protrusions arranged in a circular array. Rotating the dial wheel 6 causes the torsion spring shaft 7 to rotate and compress, storing force. A support shaft 9 is connected to the other side of the mounting bracket body 5. A second gear 10 is sleeved on the outside of the support shaft 9. The diameter of the first gear 8 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 10, and the first gear 8 meshes with the second gear 10. A limit plate 11 is fixed to the back of the support shaft 9. The support shaft 9 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket body 5 and a support plate 12, respectively. The limit plate 11 is slidably connected to the support plate 12. After the dial wheel 6 rotates, it drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 meshes with the second gear 10 to drive the support shaft 9 to rotate. Then, the support shaft 9 drives the limiting plate 11 to rotate. Since the diameter of the first gear 8 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 10, a speed-increasing mechanism is formed, so that the operator only needs to rotate the dial wheel 6 by a small angle to achieve a half-turn rotation angle of the support shaft 9 and the limiting plate 11. The limiting plate 11 abuts against the support frame 2. The support plate 12 is fixed in the middle of the back of the hanging ear body 5. The support plate 12 is detachably connected to the slot 3. The support plate 12 is inserted into the slot 3. When the support plate 12 is inserted into the slot 3, the operator stops rotating the dial wheel 6. At this time, the dial wheel 6 and the support shaft 9 are reversed through the torsion spring shaft 7, so that the limiting plate 11 reverses half a turn and abuts against the support frame 2 to prevent the hanging ear body 5 from falling off and thus prevent the server body 4 from falling off.
[0037] See Figure 1 In the above embodiment, support frames 2 are fixed on both sides of the top of the cabinet base plate 1. The outer surface of the support frame 2 is provided with a slot 3 to facilitate the installation of the server body 4. Multiple server bodies 4 are arranged between the two support frames 2. Multiple interfaces are installed on one side of the outer surface of the server body 4 to facilitate the connection of the server. The multiple interfaces are distributed in a rectangular array. Multiple mounting ears 5 are provided. The multiple mounting ears 5 are located on both sides of the multiple server bodies 4 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the server body 4 or other network devices onto the support frame 2.
[0038] Example 2:
[0039] Based on the above embodiment one, the following settings are now adopted to avoid structural damage.
[0040] See Figures 3-5 In the above embodiment, a guide rod 13 is fixed on the outer surface of the limiting plate 11, and a guide groove 14 is provided on the lower back of the support plate 12. The guide groove 14 is semi-circular. The guide rod 13 is slidably connected to the guide groove 14. The guide rod 13 and the guide groove 14 ensure that the limiting plate 11 can only rotate in the direction of the guide groove 14, so as to avoid the operator from turning the dial wheel 6 in the wrong direction and causing damage to the torsion spring shaft 7.
[0041] The implementation principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the operator rotates the dial wheel 6 to compress and store power in the torsion spring shaft 7. After rotating, the dial wheel 6 drives the first gear 8 to rotate. The first gear 8 meshes with the second gear 10, driving the support shaft 9 to rotate. Then, the support shaft 9 drives the limiting plate 11 to rotate. Since the diameter of the first gear 8 is larger than the diameter of the second gear 10, a speed-increasing mechanism is formed. This allows the operator to achieve a half-turn rotation angle of the support shaft 9 and the limiting plate 11 by rotating the dial wheel 6 only by a small angle. Furthermore, the guide rod 13 and the guide groove 14 ensure that the limiting plate 11 can only rotate in the direction of the guide groove 14, avoiding... The operator's incorrect rotation of the dial wheel 6 caused damage to the torsion spring shaft 7. After the limiting plate 11 rotates, its four sides and four corners align with the four sides and four corners of the support plate 12. The operator can then place the server body 4 into the support frame 2, so that the hanging ear body 5 fits against the outer surface of the support frame 2, and the support plate 12 is inserted into the slot 3. After the support plate 12 is inserted into the slot 3, the operator stops rotating the dial wheel 6. At this time, the torsion spring shaft 7 drives the dial wheel 6 and the support shaft 9 to reverse, thereby causing the limiting plate 11 to reverse half a turn and press against the support frame 2 to prevent the hanging ear body 5 from falling off, thus preventing the server body 4 from falling off.
