Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a pressure plate component and a server rack. Background Technology

[0002] In the server industry, L-shaped sliding rails (L-rails) are widely used in server racks and installed on rack columns to support server chassis due to their cost-effectiveness and practicality. However, when server chassis need to be pulled directly out of the rack for maintenance or operation, the increased weight at the front of the server chassis causes the center of gravity to shift forward, making the weight at the rear insufficient to maintain balance. This can lead to the chassis tilting, posing a safety hazard to operators and equipment.

[0003] To solve this problem, the current solution is to install pressure plates on the rack columns at the rear of the server chassis. However, with the development of the industry, racks of different heights have emerged (for example, racks with height U=44.45mm, height U+1mm=45.45mm, and height U+2mm=46.45mm). Traditional pressure plates are often only suitable for installation on the columns of racks of specific sizes and do not have the versatility to be used across racks of different heights.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this application provides a pressure plate component for installation on any one of the rack columns 1 of various heights and sizes, and for pressing against the chassis 2 installed on the rack column 1. The pressure plate component includes a pressure plate 3, which includes: a main body 31 with a side 21 parallel to the width direction of the chassis 2; a rack column connecting plate 32 disposed on the side of the main body 31 away from the side 21 for connection with the rack column 1; an upper pressure plate 33 disposed on the upper side of the main body 31 for pressing against the top surface 22 of the chassis 2, forming a plug-in groove with the main body 31 for insertion of the end of the chassis 2; and a plurality of fixing holes 34 spaced apart on the rack column connecting plate 32 along a direction parallel to the extension direction of the rack column 1. The plurality of fixing holes 34 are divided into a plurality of fixing hole groups 35 corresponding to the rack columns 1 of various heights and sizes.

[0034] Technically, the pressure plate component of this application, by setting multiple fixing hole groups 35, can adapt to chassis and rack columns of different heights. By adjusting the position of the fixing hole groups, it can ensure that the pressure plate provides stable rear-end limiting on chassis of different U-heights. In principle, the main body of the pressure plate and the rack column connecting plate of the pressure plate component of this application form a stable structure. The upper pressure plate increases stability by pressing against the top of the chassis, preventing the rear end of the chassis from tilting up during pulling or transportation. In terms of effect, the pressure plate component of this application ensures the safe fixation of the chassis in the rack, avoids instability caused by the forward shift of the center of gravity, improves the safety of server operation and transportation, and can be applied to rack columns 1 of various heights and corresponding chassis 2 of various heights. It solves the problem of poor universality of pressure plates used to press against the rear end of server chassis in related technologies, and achieves the technical effect of improving the universality of pressure plates.

[0035] In addition, by changing the material or thickness of the pressure plate, it is possible to adapt to chassis of different weights and solve the stability problem when supporting heavier servers.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the plurality of fixing holes 34 include a first fixing hole 341, a second fixing hole 342, a third fixing hole 343, a fourth fixing hole 344, a fifth fixing hole 345, and a sixth fixing hole 346 arranged sequentially from top to bottom; wherein, the plurality of fixing hole groups 35 include: a first fixing hole group 351, including the first fixing hole 341 and the fifth fixing hole 345; a second fixing hole group 352, including the second fixing hole 342 and the sixth fixing hole 346; and a third fixing hole group 353, including the third fixing hole 343 and the fourth fixing hole 344.

[0037] Technically, the grouped fixing hole design of the pressure plate component in this application allows the pressure plate to flexibly mate with rack columns of different heights. By selecting different groups of fixing holes, it can be adapted to different U-height chassis. In principle, the setting of each group of fixing holes in the pressure plate component of this application is based on a specific chassis height and rack column hole position, ensuring the correct installation and fixation of the pressure plate on different U-height chassis. In terms of effect, the pressure plate component of this application makes the installation of the pressure plate more precise, improves the fixation effect of the chassis in the rack, and reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by improper installation.

[0038] In addition, by adding more mounting holes, a wider range of chassis heights can be accommodated, thus resolving compatibility issues that may be encountered in newer cabinets.

[0039] In the server and data center industry, "U" is an abbreviation for "Rack Unit," a standardized unit of height used to describe the height occupied by hardware such as servers and network equipment within a rack or cabinet. 1U is typically defined as 1.75 inches (approximately 44.45 millimeters). Therefore, when referring to equipment or space with a "U" height, it means that the equipment or space is a multiple of 1.75 inches or 44.45 millimeters in height. For example, a 3U server rack occupies a height of 3 × 1.75 inches (or 3 × 44.45 mm); an 8U server rack occupies a height of 8 × 1.75 inches (or 8 × 44.45 mm); an 8U+N server rack occupies a height of 8 × 1.75 inches + 16 mm (or 8 × 44.45 mm + 16 mm), where M = 16 mm; an 8U+M server rack occupies a height of 8 × 1.75 inches + 8 mm (or 8 × 44.45 mm + 8 mm), where N = 8 mm.

[0040] like Figure 8As shown, the rack column 1 includes a first rack column 11 with a chassis mounting section having a height of 8U+M. The chassis 2 includes a first chassis with a height of 8U mounted on the first rack column 11. Multiple first through holes 110 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the first rack column 11. A first fixing hole group 351 is correspondingly arranged with the first chassis and the first rack column 11. The distance L7 between the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 and the 8U height line of the first rack column 11 is 0.5mm to 1mm. The first fixing holes 341 are located at the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section on the first rack column 11. The first through hole 110 downwards is correspondingly set, and the fifth fixing hole 345 is correspondingly set to the fifth first through hole 110 downwards from the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section on the first cabinet column 11; or, the cabinet column 1 includes a second cabinet column 12 with a chassis mounting section of height 8U, the chassis 2 includes a second chassis of height 8U mounted on the second cabinet column 12, and a plurality of second through holes 120 are arranged at intervals from top to bottom on the second cabinet column 12; the second fixing hole group 352 is correspondingly set to the second chassis and the second cabinet column 12, and the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 The distance L8 between the second rack column 12 and the 8U height line is 0.5mm to 1mm. The second fixing hole 342 is corresponding to the second second through hole 120 on the second rack column 12, which is located downwards from the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section. The sixth fixing hole 346 is corresponding to the sixth second through hole 120 on the second rack column 12, which is located downwards from the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section. Alternatively, the rack column 1 includes a third rack column 13 with a chassis mounting section having a height of 8U+N. The chassis 2 includes a third chassis with a height of 8U mounted on the third rack column 13. Multiple third through holes 130 are arranged sequentially from top to bottom on the rack column 13; the third fixing hole group 353 is arranged corresponding to the third chassis and the third rack column 13; the distance L9 between the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 and the 8U height line of the third rack column 13 is 0.5mm to 1mm; the third fixing hole 343 is arranged corresponding to the second third through hole 130 on the third rack column 13 from the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section downwards; and the fourth fixing hole 344 is arranged corresponding to the fourth third through hole 130 on the third rack column 13 from the 8U height line of the chassis mounting section downwards.

[0041] Specifically, M=16mm, N=8mm; the chassis mounting section refers to the section on the rack column corresponding to the installation position of the chassis. The height of the chassis mounting section on the first rack column 11, the second rack column 12, and the third rack column 13 is 8U. The 8U height line of the chassis mounting section refers to the position that is 8U higher than the lower limit of the chassis mounting section, measured upwards from 0mm.

[0042] In the first cabinet column 11 with a chassis mounting section of height 8U+M, there are 24 first through holes 110 in one chassis mounting section, with three first through holes 110 forming one section, and the height of each section is U+M / 8; in the first cabinet column 11 with a chassis mounting section of height 8U, there are 24 first through holes 110 in one chassis mounting section, with three first through holes 110 forming one section, and the height of each section is U; in the first cabinet column 11 with a chassis mounting section of height 8U+N, there are 24 first through holes 110 in one chassis mounting section, with three first through holes 110 forming one section, and the height of each section is U+N / 8.

[0043] Technically, the pressure plate component of this application ensures stable installation of the pressure plate on chassis of different heights by setting a precise distance between the pressure plate and the rack upright, and the correspondence between the fixing holes and the through holes of the rack upright. In principle, this precise fit design of the pressure plate component is based on the U-height standard of the chassis and rack upright, ensuring that the pressure plate can be correctly positioned at the rear of the chassis, providing sufficient support. In terms of effectiveness, the pressure plate component of this application allows the pressure plate to adapt to chassis of different U-heights, eliminating the need to design a dedicated pressure plate for each chassis, greatly improving the versatility and economy of the pressure plate. Furthermore, by adjusting the thickness of the pressure plate or the hole layout of the rack upright, it can adapt to racks of different standards, solving compatibility issues when rack industry standards change.

[0044] like Figure 8 As shown, the first distance L1 between the center of the first fixing hole 341 and the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 is 5mm to 9mm; the second distance L2 between the center of the first fixing hole 341 and the center of the fifth fixing hole 345 is 60mm to 65mm; and / or, the first distance L3 between the center of the second fixing hole 342 and the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 is 19mm to 24mm; the second distance L4 between the center of the second fixing hole 342 and the center of the sixth fixing hole 346 is 58mm to 63mm; and / or, the first distance L5 between the center of the third fixing hole 343 and the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 33 is 28mm to 33mm; the second distance L6 between the center of the third fixing hole 343 and the center of the fourth fixing hole 344 is 27mm to 32mm.

[0045] Technically, the specific distances set in the pressure plate components of this application ensure that the pressure plate can be accurately installed on the chassis, providing sufficient fixing points to increase stability. In principle, these distances in the pressure plate components of this application are based on the U-height standards of the chassis and rack uprights, as well as the required pressure from the pressure plate, ensuring correct installation of the pressure plate on different chassis. In terms of effectiveness, the pressure plate components of this application, through precise hole design, improve the fixing effect of the pressure plate, reduce instability caused by the forward shift of the chassis's center of gravity within the rack, and ensure the safety of server operation and transportation. Furthermore, by adjusting the first and second distances, it is possible to accommodate pressure plates of different thicknesses or chassis of different heights, addressing fixing requirements in specific application environments.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressure plate 3 includes multiple hole group markings 36, which are located on the main body 31. The multiple hole group markings 36 are set one-to-one with multiple fixing hole groups 35.

[0047] Technically, the hole group markings on the pressure plate component of this application facilitate quick identification and positioning of the correct fixing hole group, simplifying the pressure plate installation process. In principle, the hole group markings on the pressure plate component of this application, through visual identification, help operators quickly determine the position of the fixing holes that match the current chassis height, avoiding installation errors. In terms of effectiveness, the pressure plate component of this application improves the efficiency and accuracy of pressure plate installation, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to improper installation. Furthermore, the installation process can be further simplified by increasing the clarity of the hole group markings or using different colors, addressing identification problems in low light conditions or when the operator's vision is poor.

[0048] Specifically, the plurality of hole group markings 36 include: a first hole group marking 361, which corresponds to the first fixing hole group 351 and points to the first fixing hole 341 and the fifth fixing hole 345; a second hole group marking 362, which corresponds to the second fixing hole group 352 and points to the second fixing hole 342 and the sixth fixing hole 346; and a third hole group marking 363, which corresponds to the third fixing hole group 353 and points to the third fixing hole 343 and the fourth fixing hole 344.

[0049] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the pressure plate component includes two pressure plates 3, namely a first pressure plate 301 and a second pressure plate 302. The first pressure plate 301 and the second pressure plate 302 are arranged opposite to each other. The first pressure plate 301 and the second pressure plate 302 are respectively arranged one-to-one with the two opposite sides 21 of the chassis 2. The first pressure plate 301 and the second pressure plate 302 are respectively connected to the two opposite cabinet columns 1. The insertion slots of the first pressure plate 301 and the second pressure plate 302 together form an insertion space.

[0050] Specifically, the first pressure plate 301 is marked with an "L" to indicate that the first pressure plate 301 is installed on the left cabinet column 1, and the second pressure plate 302 is marked with an "R" to indicate that the second pressure plate 302 is installed on the right cabinet column 1.

[0051] Technically, the two opposing pressure plates of the pressure plate component in this application provide more comprehensive support and restraint, ensuring the stability of the chassis within the rack. In principle, the first and second pressure plates of the pressure plate component, through the cooperation of interlocking slots, form a closed space, restricting the vertical movement of the chassis and preventing the rear end of the chassis from tilting up. In terms of effectiveness, the pressure plate component of this application, through the combined action of the two pressure plates, improves the chassis's fixation within the rack, ensuring the safety of server operation and transportation. Furthermore, by increasing the number of pressure plates or changing their shape, it can adapt to more complex rack structures, solving the chassis fixation problem in high-density server racks.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the pressure plate 3 includes a chassis guide plate 37. The chassis guide plate 37 is disposed on the side of the main board body 31 away from the rack column connecting plate 32. The end of the chassis guide plate 37 away from the main board body 31 extends in a direction away from the chassis 2 to guide the action of the chassis 2 being inserted into the plug slot.

[0053] Technically, the guide plate of the pressure plate component in this application simplifies the chassis installation process, ensuring that the chassis can be smoothly inserted into the insertion slot. In principle, the guide plate of the pressure plate component guides the end of the chassis along the correct path for insertion through its shape and position, avoiding damage caused by improper insertion angle. In terms of effect, the pressure plate component of this application improves the efficiency and safety of chassis installation, reducing the risk of equipment damage due to improper operation. Furthermore, by changing the shape of the guide plate or increasing the number of guide plates, it can accommodate chassis of different shapes, solving the guidance problem when installing non-standard chassis.

[0054] Specifically, the pressure plate 3 is a sheet metal part; and / or, the thickness of the pressure plate 3 is 1.2mm to 2mm; and / or, the motherboard body 31 has a height dimension of 90mm to 100mm in the chassis 2 and a length dimension of 100mm to 110mm in the chassis 2.

[0055] Technically, the pressure plate component of this application uses a sheet metal material, which provides excellent strength and durability, enabling it to withstand the weight of the rear end of the chassis and prevent the chassis from tilting. In principle, the thickness and dimensions of the pressure plate in this application are designed based on an analysis of the rear-end positioning requirements of the chassis, ensuring the applicability and stability of the pressure plate on different chassis. In terms of effectiveness, the pressure plate component of this application improves the fixing effect of the pressure plate by selecting appropriate materials and dimensions, ensuring the safety of server operation and transportation. Furthermore, by using other materials or adjusting the thickness and dimensions of the pressure plate, it can be adapted to heavier chassis or specific rack structures, solving stability issues when supporting high-load servers.
