Most of the existing pull-out connecting rod structures rivet a screw column or a positioning pin on the equipment shell, open a long slot in the center of the connecting rod, and set the slot of the connecting rod on the outer cylindrical surface of the screw column or the positioning pin, and the connecting rod contacts the bottom surface of the shell to form a guide, and the pull-out is realized by sliding.
[0003] In addition, there is also a pull-out connecting rod structure in the prior art, which rivets two screw columns in the vertical direction above the equipment shell, and the connecting rod is guided by the contact between the outer edge of the connecting rod and the cylindrical surface of the screw column, and the pull-out is also realized by sliding. A pressing plate is also needed to be arranged between the two screw columns in the vertical direction to prevent the connecting rod from falling.
[0004] In summary, the existing pull-out connecting rod structure has the following shortcomings:
[0005] (1) The user experience is poor due to the sliding friction between the movable parts;
[0006] (2) The connecting rod can be offset in angle up and down due to too few fixed points, and the pull-out process is not smooth enough;
[0007] (3) The sliding friction can cause damage to the surface coating of the parts, which not only affects the appearance, but also causes oxidation and other phenomena on the surface of the parts, affecting the service life of the parts;
[0008] (4) With the increase of the working time of the pull-out connecting rod, the wear will become more and more serious, and the fitting gap between the parts will become larger and larger. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0029] EMBODIMENT
[0030] AsFigure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in the utility model discloses a pull link structure, pull link structure is applied to rack server, including connecting rod 1, pressing plate 2 and multiple rolling bearings 3. Along the movement direction of connecting rod 1, four screw columns 4 are riveted on the both sides of pressing plate 2 symmetrically, and four rolling bearings 3 are nested on the outer cylindrical surface of corresponding screw column 4 respectively, after installing pressing plate 2 to the inside of the case body 100 of rack server, the screw 7 is screwed into the inside of the side portion of case body 100 and screw column 4, to realize the connection and fixation of pressing plate 2 and the case body 100 of rack server. Connecting rod 1 is arranged between pressing plate 2 and case body 100, can prevent connecting rod 1 from falling during pulling process, and connecting rod 1 is connected with the front panel of rack server, and drives the front panel to open and close on case body 100. In the process of pulling and moving connecting rod 1, the upper edge and the lower edge of connecting rod 1 are in contact with the outer cylindrical surface of two rolling bearings 3 respectively.
[0031] As Figure 1 shown, connecting rod 1 moves left and right during pulling, and rolling bearing 3 will do circular motion due to the influence of friction, so that the surface wear of connecting rod 1 is greatly reduced, the surface of the part is protected, and the hand feeling of pulling is improved. Moreover, there are two contact points on the same side of connecting rod 1, and there are four contact points on the upper and lower sides of connecting rod 1, so that connecting rod 1 will not be offset in the up-down direction, so that the smoothness during pulling is ensured, and the user experience is improved.
[0032] In other embodiments, a metal cylinder with the same size as rolling bearing 3 can be used instead of rolling bearing 3, and appropriate lubricating oil is used, so that the metal cylinder rolls on screw column 4, and also can realize circular motion with connecting rod 1, and achieve the same purpose. Moreover, compared with rolling bearing 3, it has cost advantage, and also can hang a component with greater weight at the front end of connecting rod 1.
[0033] In other embodiments, a POM (race steel) plastic cylinder with the same size as rolling bearing 3 can be used instead of rolling bearing 3, and appropriate lubricating oil is used, so that the plastic cylinder rolls on screw column 4, and also can realize circular motion with connecting rod 1, and achieve the same purpose. Compared with the scheme of rolling bearing 3 and metal cylinder, it has cost performance.
[0034] As Figure 1 shown, the front end of connecting rod 1 is provided with connecting hole 5, and connecting hole 5 is used for connecting the front panel of rack server and driving the front panel to open and close on case body 100. Figure 3 As Figure 3 shown, the rear end of connecting rod 1 is provided with limiting hook 6, and the side portion of pressing plate 2 is provided with recess 21, when connecting rod 1 is pulled to the limit position, limiting hook 6 is buckled in recess 21, to limit the movement of connecting rod 1, to avoid that connecting rod 1 is pulled out completely.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, a stepped surface 9 is provided on one side of the connecting rod 1, resulting in a certain step difference on the connecting rod 1, and the stepped surface 9 is close to the connecting hole 5. After the pull-out connecting rod structure is installed on both inner sides of the chassis housing 100, it ensures a stable connection between the connecting hole 5 and the front panel of the rack server, without taking up too much installation space inside the chassis housing 100.
[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, since the front end of the connecting rod 1 will be attached to components such as the front panel of the rack-mounted server and needs to bear a certain weight, in order to prevent this weight from pressing on the four screw posts 4, the bottom edge of the pressure plate 2 is extended to be flush with the bottom plate of the chassis housing 100. This allows for better utilization of the supporting force of the bottom surface of the chassis housing 100, making the entire pull-out connecting rod structure more stable. Multiple protrusions 8 are evenly spaced on the pressure plate 2, and the protrusions 8 contact the connecting rod 1. The protrusions 8 can eliminate the gap caused by the inconsistent thickness between the rolling bearing 3 and the connecting rod 1, and also reduce the contact area between the connecting rod 1 and the pressure plate 2, preventing large-area contact and excessive friction.
[0037] In this embodiment, four screw posts 4 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressure plate 2. Screws 7 are screwed into the screw posts 4, thus achieving a simple and reliable connection between the pressure plate 2 and the rack server chassis 100. Rolling bearings 3 are nested on the outer cylindrical surface of the screw posts 4, and a connecting rod 1 is inserted between the pressure plate 2 and the chassis 100. The connecting rod 1 drives the front panel to open and close on the chassis 100, allowing for convenient replacement of the service boards inside the chassis 100. Furthermore, during the pulling and moving of the connecting rod 1, both the upper and lower edges of the connecting rod 1 contact the outer cylindrical surfaces of the multiple rolling bearings 3. The rolling friction between the rolling bearings 3 and the connecting rod 1 is primarily rolling friction, which, compared to sliding friction, effectively reduces mutual wear between parts and avoids damage to the surface coating of parts, preventing oxidation and shortening of service life. Simultaneously, the multiple rolling bearings 3 also support the connecting rod 1, preventing vertical angular displacement of the connecting rod 1 and resulting in uneven pulling.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
