Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cabinet connection devices, and in particular to a cabinet quick connection device. Background Technology

[0002] A server rack is a cabinet used to store, organize, and protect electronic equipment, typically used in data centers, server rooms, communication facilities, and broadcast and audio-visual environments.

[0003] By connecting multiple racks, a continuous work area can be created, making the layout of the data center or server room more compact and organized, thus making more efficient use of limited space. Existing racks are generally just bolted together or several racks are placed in the same rack frame. The former is difficult to assemble and disassemble, and the latter requires the purchase of new equipment, which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems of existing rack connection methods, such as difficulty in assembly and disassembly or the need to purchase new equipment at high cost.

[0005] This utility model provides a quick connection device for a server rack, including a first connecting frame, a second connecting frame, a connector, and a telescopic pin; the first connecting frame has a first groove, and a first hole and a second hole located on the same straight line on both sides of the first groove; the second connecting frame has a second groove, and the second groove and the first groove are located on the same straight line; the connector is located in the second groove, one end of the connector is hinged to the second connecting frame by a spring pin, and the other end of the connector has a third hole, the connector is used to connect the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame; the telescopic pin is located in the first connecting frame, and the telescopic pin is used to fix the connector.

[0006] Preferably, both the first connecting bracket and the second connecting bracket are provided with threaded holes.

[0007] Preferably, both the first connecting frame and the second connecting frame are integrally formed L-shaped metal structures.

[0008] Preferably, the telescopic pin includes a pin and a spring, with the spring abutting against one side of the pin, and a handle provided on the pin.

[0009] Preferably, the end of the pin away from the spring has a protrusion, and the first hole, the second hole and the third hole each have a groove corresponding to the protrusion.

[0010] The connector rotates around the spring pin, positioning the end with the third hole inside the first groove. A telescopic pin passes through the first, third, and second holes to secure the connector, allowing the two racks to connect via simple rotation and pinning, greatly simplifying the operation. Using a telescopic pin to secure the connector allows users to quickly tighten or loosen the connection without tools. Compared to traditional bolt connections, the telescopic pin significantly reduces the connection time and complexity between racks. It solves the problems of difficult assembly and disassembly or the need to purchase new equipment, resulting in high costs associated with existing rack connection methods.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0018] In the description of embodiments of this utility model, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined with "first," "second," and "third" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.

[0019] Reference Figures 1-5 A quick-connection device for server racks includes a first connecting frame 1, a second connecting frame 2, a connector 3, and a telescopic pin 5. The first connecting frame 1 has a first groove 11, and a first hole 12 and a second hole 13 located on the same straight line on both sides of the first groove 11. The second connecting frame 2 has a second groove 21, and the second groove 21 and the first groove 11 are located on the same straight line. The connector 3 is located in the second groove 21, one end of the connector 3 is hinged to the second connecting frame 2 by a spring pin 4, and the other end of the connector 3 has a third hole 31. The connector 3 is used to connect the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting frame 2. The telescopic pin 5 is located in the first connecting frame 1 and is used to fix the connector 3.

[0020] Connector 3 rotates around spring pin 4, so that the end of connector 3 with third hole 31 is located inside first groove 11. Telescopic pin 5 passes through first hole 12, third hole 31 and second hole 13 to fix connector 3, allowing the two racks to be connected by simple rotation and pin action, greatly simplifying the operation process. By using telescopic pin 5 to fix connector 3, users can quickly tighten or loosen the connection without tools; compared with traditional bolt connection, telescopic pin 5 greatly shortens the connection time between racks and reduces the complexity of the connection between racks. It solves the problems of difficult assembly and disassembly or the need to purchase new equipment and high costs associated with existing rack connection methods.

[0021] In some implementations, refer to Figure 4 Both the first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2 are provided with threaded holes 6.

[0022] By providing threaded holes 6, users can easily fix the first connecting bracket 1 and the second connecting bracket 2 to corresponding positions in different cabinets by passing bolts through the threaded holes 6. When the first connecting bracket 1 or the second connecting bracket 2 is damaged, it can be replaced.

[0023] In some implementations, refer to Figures 3-4 Both the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting frame 2 are integrally formed L-shaped metal structures.

[0024] The one-piece L-shaped metal structure offers higher strength because this manufacturing process avoids weaknesses that can arise during welding or splicing. Compared to structures assembled from multiple parts, the one-piece design reduces potential breakage points, making the first connecting frame 1 and the second connecting frame 2 more stable under heavy loads. Because it is a single piece, the L-shaped metal structure can be directly inserted into the corresponding cabinet recess and secured with bolts, which not only speeds up installation but also reduces the need for precise alignment, lowering the installation difficulty.

[0025] In some embodiments, the telescopic pin 5 includes a pin and a spring, the spring abutting against one side of the pin, and the pin having a handle.

[0026] A pin is used to pass through the first hole 12, the third hole 31, and the second hole 13 to secure the connector 3. A spring ensures that the pin remains locked without external force when fully inserted into the second hole 13, and the pressure applied by the spring prevents the pin from accidentally coming loose. A handle allows the user to control the extension and retraction of the pin by pushing the handle.

[0027] Preferably, the end of the pin away from the spring has a protrusion, and the first hole 12, the second hole 13 and the third hole 31 each have a groove corresponding to the protrusion.

[0028] When the pin passes through the first hole 12, the second hole 13 and the third hole 31, the protrusion passes through the corresponding groove. After the pin is fully inserted into the second hole 13, the pin is rotated to misalign the protrusion and the groove, preventing the pin from accidentally falling off.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
