AI Technical Summary
The existing server rack rails lack locking mechanisms, which can cause equipment to slide unexpectedly when vibrating, potentially leading to cable pulling, loosening of interfaces, and equipment tipping over, posing a safety hazard.
A cabinet slide rail with a locking mechanism was designed. By using the interference fit of the limiting block and the friction component, the friction is increased to prevent the slide rail from accidentally sliding during vibration. The slide rail includes an outer slide rail, a middle slide rail, and an inner slide rail. Locking is achieved by the squeezing state of the limiting block and the friction component.
It effectively prevents the equipment from slipping unexpectedly during vibration, avoids pulling of connecting lines and tipping of the equipment, and improves the stability and safety of the equipment.
