Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of an expansion structure for a rack-mount server, including a chassis 1. The chassis 1 is prior art and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. As it is prior art, it will not be described in detail in this case. The chassis 1 is used to store modules such as the motherboard, CPU, memory, power supply, and heat dissipation. A cover 2 is installed on the upper surface of the chassis 1, and the cover 2 has threaded holes. A power plug 3 is plugged into the front surface of the chassis 1 and can be unplugged. An expansion component is provided on the upper surface of the chassis 1. The expansion component can adjust the total internal capacity of the chassis 1 according to the size and number of modules. A protective mechanism is provided on the front surface of the chassis 1. The protective mechanism can clamp and fix the power plug 3 to prevent accidental disconnection and ensure the stability of the device during use.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4The protective mechanism includes an adjustment component and a fixing component. The adjustment component includes a positioning plate 41. A connecting block 42 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the chassis 1. A screw 43 is rotatably connected through the upper surface of the connecting block 42. The screw 43 is existing technology and can be implemented by those skilled in the art. Since it is existing technology, it will not be described in detail in this case. The screw 43 has self-locking properties. A handwheel 44 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the screw 43. The handwheel 44 is easy to grip. Squeezing the handwheel 44 and rotating it can drive the screw 43 to rotate. The fixing component includes a clamping block 51. The rear surface of the clamping block 51 is hollow. The hollow area is half of a flat-topped cone. A positioning rod 52 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the clamping block 51. A rotating shaft 53 is rotatably connected through the front surface of the positioning rod 52. The positioning rod 52 and the rotating shaft 53 will move laterally synchronously. A sliding groove 501 is opened on the inner wall of the positioning plate 41. The sliding groove 501 is inclined.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 3 The expansion assembly includes an expansion box 61. A connecting plate 62 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the expansion box 61. Multiple sets of connecting plates 62 are fixed to the bottom of the right and left surfaces of the expansion box 61, and the top of the right and left surfaces of the chassis 1.
