Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data centers, in particular to a stand-alone insertion aid and a data center. BACKGROUND

[0002] Thanks to the rapid development of cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies, high-concurrency computing and mass data storage requirements have driven the development of server clustering and intensification. The traditional rack and server separation architecture cannot meet the requirements of rapid deployment and operation and maintenance efficiency. The whole cabinet server integrates power supply, heat dissipation and management into one, and is delivered in whole cabinet units, reducing the on-site assembly link. Through the electrical, heat dissipation and management connectors located on the server and the cabinet, interconnection is completed, significantly optimizing the installation, delivery and operation and maintenance processes. Since the connector has a large insertion force, the server and the cabinet usually need to be connected with the aid of an insertion aid to ensure the safety and accuracy of the installation process. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] The present application discloses a stand-alone insertion aid and a data center, which is used to realize manual plug-in interconnection of servers and cabinets without occupying server space.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a stand-alone insertion aid, comprising: a fixed plate, a movable plate, an insertion aid handle and a fixing structure;

[0006] The fixing structure is arranged on the fixed plate and is used to fix the fixed plate; the fixed plate and the movable plate are arranged along a first direction, and the movable plate is driven by the insertion aid handle to move away from or close to the fixed plate along the first direction;

[0007] The insertion aid handle comprises a long arm and a short arm, the first end of the short arm is slidably connected to the movable plate along a second direction, and the second end of the short arm is rotatably connected to the fixed plate through a rotating shaft; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; the first end of the long arm is connected to the second end of the short arm, and the second end of the long arm penetrates through the fixed plate and protrudes from the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate;

[0008] The distance between the second end of the long arm and the rotating shaft is greater than the distance between the first end of the long arm and the rotating shaft.

[0009] The fixed plate serves as a fixed reference surface for supporting the entire inserter and ensuring its stability. The movable plate is arranged along a first direction (e.g., front-rear direction) and can move away from or close to the fixed plate under the drive of the inserter handle. The inserter handle includes a long arm and a short arm, which are key components for the user to apply force. The fixed structure is provided on the fixed plate for fixing the inserter at a designated position. The first end of the long arm is connected to the second end of the short arm, and the first end of the short arm is slidingly connected to the movable plate along a second direction (e.g., left-right direction), and the second end is rotationally connected to the fixed plate through a pivot. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second end of the long arm penetrates the fixed plate and protrudes from the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate, so that the user can control the movement of the movable plate by pushing or pulling the long arm. Since the distance between the second end of the long arm and the pivot is greater than the distance between the first end and the pivot, a force-saving lever is formed, reducing the difficulty of operation for the user.

[0010] The independent inserter provided by the embodiments of the present application is designed independently of the server, avoiding the occupation of the internal space of the server and maintaining the compactness and efficient layout of the server. Moreover, by using the lever principle, the user can easily complete the plug-in interconnection of the server and the cabinet without the need for complex tools or additional power sources. The precise movement of the movable plate and the design of the fixed structure ensure the safety and reliability of the installation process.

[0011] In some embodiments, the movable plate is provided with a sliding groove extending along the second direction; and the first end of the short arm is provided with a sliding part slidingly matched with the sliding groove. The sliding groove provides a precise sliding path for the first end of the short arm, ensuring that the short arm can move stably and accurately during operation. The cooperation between the sliding part and the sliding groove allows the short arm to slide smoothly in the sliding groove, avoiding deviation in the first direction and improving the accuracy and stability of operation. The cooperation between the sliding part and the sliding groove also plays a limiting role, preventing unnecessary shaking or deviation of the short arm during operation and improving the safety and reliability of the entire insertion process.

[0012] In some embodiments, a guide structure extending along the first direction is arranged between the fixed plate and the movable plate to guide the movement of the movable plate relative to the fixed plate. When the user applies force through the long arm, the movable plate moves smoothly along the first direction under the guidance of the guide structure, ensuring that its movement relative to the fixed plate is accurate and stable.

[0013] In some embodiments, along the second direction, both ends of the fixed plate protrude beyond both ends of the movable plate; the fixing structure is fixed to the end of the fixed plate protruding beyond the movable plate. Along the second direction (e.g., the left-right direction), both ends of the fixed plate protrude beyond both ends of the movable plate. This design enables the fixed plate to completely cover and protect the movable plate, while providing sufficient installation space for the fixing structure. By arranging the fixing structure on the protruding portion of the fixed plate, it can be ensured that the fixing structure does not interfere with the movable plate, while enhancing the overall stability of the inserter.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fixing structure comprises a positioning member fixed to the side of the fixed plate facing the movable plate and protruding beyond the surface of the side of the movable plate away from the fixed plate, for plugging into the cabinet. When the inserter is installed into the cabinet, the positioning member can be accurately plugged into the corresponding interface of the cabinet, ensuring the stable connection of the inserter with the cabinet. The positioning member not only serves as a fixing function, but also provides accurate guidance during installation, ensuring that the movable plate can smoothly enter the cabinet and correspond to the server position inside the cabinet, avoiding misalignment or deviation.

[0015] In some embodiments, the fixing structure further comprises a resilient hook fixed to the fixed plate and extending towards the side of the movable plate; the resilient hook comprises a driving portion and a clamping portion, the clamping portion being used for clamping and locking with the cabinet, and the driving portion being used for driving the clamping portion to be unlocked from the clamping structure of the cabinet. When the inserter is installed into the cabinet, the clamping portion can be accurately clamped with the corresponding structure of the cabinet, ensuring the stable connection of the inserter with the cabinet. By operating the driving portion, the clamping portion can be driven to separate from the clamping structure of the cabinet, thereby achieving unlocking.

[0016] In some embodiments, a locking groove is formed on the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate, for clamping and locking with the second end of the long arm;

[0017] and when the long arm is locked with the fixed plate, the movable plate is located at the extreme position away from the fixed plate.

[0018] When the second end of the long arm is clamped into the locking groove, the long arm and the fixed plate form a stable structure, ensuring that the entire inserter remains stable during operation. In the case where the long arm is locked with the fixed plate, the movable plate will be driven to the extreme position away from the fixed plate, i.e., at this time the server is interconnected with the cabinet, avoiding the server from popping out after the external force is removed, facilitating subsequent operation.

[0019] In some embodiments, a handheld handle is fixed to the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate. The handheld handle is fixedly arranged on the side of the fixed plate away from the movable plate, facilitating user gripping and operation.

[0020] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a data center comprising a cabinet, a server and the independent inserter according to any one of the first aspect;

[0021] The server is slidingly installed in the cabinet;

[0022] The independent inserter is fixed to the cabinet by the fixing structure and is used to drive the server to interconnect with the cabinet.

[0023] The data center provided by the embodiments of the present application introduces the independent inserter, which not only improves the stability and reliability of the interconnection between the server and the cabinet, but also simplifies the operation steps and improves the operation efficiency.

[0024] In some embodiments, the server is provided with a mounting position for locking with the cabinet, and the fixed plate of the independent inserter is provided with an avoiding position for avoiding the mounting position.

[0025] The design of the avoiding position can make the independent inserter push the server to interconnect with the cabinet by plugging, and then lock the server and the cabinet without removing the inserter, so as to avoid the server from being ejected from the cabinet after the inserter is removed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0044] First, the application scenario of the present application is introduced: the current main implementation of server and cabinet insertion mainly adopts two ways. One is to use operation and maintenance robot to maintain insertion, only needs to design robot operation point at the server box ear, and the server and cabinet insertion is completed by the robot exerting external force at the operation point; this way requires higher requirement for the machine room, needs to reserve operation space and electrical interface for the operation and maintenance robot, and is not suitable for small batch whole cabinet deployment. The other is to realize by arranging inserter on the server, the inserter generally adopts lever structure to reduce personnel operation force to realize artificial completion of server and cabinet insertion; this way needs to reserve space for the inserter in front of the server, has certain influence on the server density, and needs to arrange the inserter on each server, and the cost is high.

[0045] Based on the above application scenario, the independent inserter and data center provided by the embodiments of the present application realize manual insertion interconnection of the server and the cabinet without occupying the server space.

[0046] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present application. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, " / " represents the meaning of or, for example, A / B can represent A or B; the "and / or" in the text only describes the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which means that there are three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, in the description of the embodiments of the present application, "multiple" means two or more than two.

[0047] Hereinafter, the terms "first" and "second" are used for description purposes only, and cannot be understood as implying or suggesting relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features. Therefore, the features defined with "first" and "second" can explicitly or implicitly include one or more features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more than two.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1-2 The present application provides an independent plug-in aid 100, comprising a fixed plate 110, a movable plate 120, a plug-in aid handle 130 and a fixing structure 140;

[0049] The fixing structure 140 is arranged on the fixed plate 110 and is used to fix the fixed plate 110; the fixed plate 110 and the movable plate 120 are arranged along a first direction, i.e. a Y direction, and the movable plate 120 can be driven by the plug-in aid handle 130 to move away from or close to the fixed plate 110 along the first direction; Figure 2

[0050] The plug-in aid handle 130 comprises a long arm 131 and a short arm 132, a first end of the short arm 132 is slidably connected with the movable plate 120 along a second direction, i.e. an X direction, and a second end of the short arm 132 is rotatably connected with the fixed plate 110 through a rotating shaft 133; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; a first end of the long arm 131 is connected with the second end of the short arm 132, and a second end of the long arm 131 penetrates through the fixed plate 110 and protrudes from a side of the fixed plate 110 away from the movable plate 120; Figure 2

[0051] The distance between the second end of the long arm 131 and the rotating shaft 133 is greater than the distance between the first end of the long arm 131 and the rotating shaft 133.

[0052] ​​The fixed plate 110 is used as a fixed reference surface to support the whole inserter and ensure its stability. The movable plate 120 is arranged along a first direction (e.g. front-back direction) with the fixed plate 110 and can move along the first direction away from or close to the fixed plate 110 under the drive of the inserter handle 130. The inserter handle 130 includes a long arm 131 and a short arm 132 and is a key component for the user to exert force. The fixed structure 140 is arranged on the fixed plate 110 and is used to fix the inserter at a designated position. The first end of the long arm 131 is connected with the second end of the short arm 132, and the first end of the short arm 132 is slidingly connected with the movable plate 120 along a second direction (e.g. left-right direction), and the second end is rotationally connected with the fixed plate 110 through a rotating shaft 133. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. The second end of the long arm 131 penetrates through the fixed plate 110 and protrudes out of the side of the fixed plate 110 away from the movable plate 120, so that the user can control the movement of the movable plate 120 by pushing or pulling the long arm 131. Since the distance between the second end of the long arm 131 and the rotating shaft 133 is greater than the distance between the first end and the rotating shaft 133, a force-saving lever is formed, which reduces the difficulty of operation for the user.

[0053] The independent inserter 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is designed independently of the server, which avoids occupying the internal space of the server and maintains the compactness and efficient layout of the server. Moreover, by using the lever principle, the user can easily complete the plug-in interconnection of the server and the cabinet without the need for complex tools or additional power sources. The precise movement of the movable plate 120 and the design of the fixed structure 140 ensure the safety and reliability of the installation process.

[0054] The independent inserter 100 provided by the embodiments of the present application is particularly suitable for data centers that need to frequently maintain and replace servers, and can significantly improve the operation and maintenance efficiency and reduce downtime. In the high-density deployment environment of the whole-cabinet server, the use of the inserter can simplify the installation process and reduce labor costs.

[0055] In one embodiment, the movable plate 120 is arranged along the first direction with the fixed plate 110, and in application, the surface of the side of the movable plate 120 away from the fixed plate 110 is in contact with the server. The first direction is defined as the front-back direction, and the movable plate 120 is located in front of the fixed plate 110. The fixed plate 110 is fixed on the upright column of the cabinet through the fixed structure 140, and under the action of the inserter handle 130, the movable plate 120 slides forward relative to the fixed plate 110 and pushes the server to move into the cabinet until the connectors on the server and the connectors inside the cabinet are in plug-in interconnection.

[0056] In one embodiment, the surface of the side of the movable plate 120 away from the fixed plate 110 is a plane, and the normal direction of the plane is parallel to the first direction, so that the front panel of the server is balanced in stress during the movement of the movable plate 120 relative to the fixed plate 110, and the inclination of the server relative to the cabinet affecting the plug-in of the connectors is avoided.

[0057] In another embodiment, the movable plate 120 can be designed to support and avoid the device layout on the front panel of the whole cabinet server, so that the plug-in aid can be adapted to various whole cabinet servers and has universality.

[0058] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 2 , the plug-in aid handle 130 is rotationally connected to the fixed plate 110 through the rotation shaft 133. The plug-in aid handle 130 includes a short arm 132 and a long arm 131, and the rotation shaft 133 is located at the connection between the short arm 132 and the long arm 131. In one implementation, the short arm 132 and the long arm 131 are integrated structures, and the plug-in aid handle 130 is defined as the short arm 132 and the long arm 131 at the position of the rotation shaft 133 for the convenience of explanation by the lever principle. When the long arm 131 is driven to rotate around the rotation shaft 133, the first end of the short arm 132 is synchronously rotated around the rotation shaft 133. The rotation of the first end of the short arm 132 around the rotation shaft 133 can be decomposed into a linear motion in the first direction and a linear motion in the second direction. Therefore, the first end of the short arm 132 slides relative to the movable plate 120 in the second direction and synchronously approaches or moves away from the fixed plate 110 along the first direction.

[0059] In one embodiment, when the plug-in aid handle 130 is in the initial state, the short arm 132 forms an acute angle with the first direction, and the movable plate 120 is located at the limit position close to the fixed plate 110; when the plug-in aid handle 130 is in the plug-in state, the short arm 132 is parallel to the first direction, and the movable plate 120 is located at the limit position away from the fixed plate 110.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the movable plate 120 is provided with a sliding groove 1201 extending in the second direction; and the first end of the short arm 132 is provided with a sliding part 1321 matched with the sliding groove 1201.

[0061] In one embodiment, the sliding groove 1201 is located on the fixed plate 110 and extends in the second direction (for example, the left-right direction). The sliding groove 1201 provides a precise sliding path for the first end of the short arm 132, ensuring that the short arm 132 can be stably and accurately moved during operation. The sliding part 1321 is located at the first end of the short arm 132 and matches the sliding groove 1201 on the fixed plate 110. The cooperation between the sliding part 1321 and the sliding groove 1201 enables the short arm 132 to smoothly slide in the sliding groove 1201, avoiding deviation in the first direction and improving the accuracy and stability of operation.

[0062] In one implementation, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the movable plate 120 includes a movable plate body 121 and a first assembly 122, and the first assembly 122 is installed on the movable plate body 121 through a screw 123. Referring to Figure 2, the first end of the short arm 132 slides along a third direction, i.e. Figure 2 The two sides of the short arm 132 relative to the Z direction are provided with sliding parts 1321. As shown in Figure 3 A sliding groove 1201 extending along the X direction is formed on the dynamic plate body 121. As shown in Figure 4 A sliding groove 1201 extending along the X direction is formed on the first assembly 122. The two sliding grooves 1201 are respectively in sliding cooperation with the two sliding parts 1321.

[0063] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 In order to facilitate the assembly of the first assembly 122 and the dynamic plate body 121, the two sides of the first assembly 122 are respectively provided with first positioning strips 1221, and the dynamic plate body 121 is provided with first positioning grooves 1211 corresponding to the first positioning strips 1221. The first positioning strips 1221 and the first positioning grooves 1211 are in sliding cooperation, which facilitates the pre-fixing of the first assembly 122 and facilitates the screwing of the screw 123.

[0064] When the user applies force through the long arm 131, the first end of the short arm 132 will slide in the sliding groove 1201 along the second direction, ensuring that the dynamic plate 120 moves smoothly along the first direction (e.g. front and back direction).

[0065] The cooperation between the sliding part 1321 and the sliding groove 1201 also plays a limiting role, preventing unnecessary shaking or deviation of the short arm 132 during operation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire insertion assisting process.

[0066] The design of the sliding groove 1201 and the sliding part 1321 in the embodiment ensures that the movement trajectory of the short arm 132 is more accurate, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the dynamic plate 120. Through the cooperation of the sliding groove 1201 and the sliding part 1321, the unstable factors in the operation process are reduced, and the overall stability of the inserter is enhanced. The structure of the sliding part 1321 and the sliding groove 1201 is simple and easy to maintain, which reduces the failure rate and maintenance cost in long-term use.

[0067] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 A guide structure 150 extending along the first direction is arranged between the fixed plate 110 and the dynamic plate 120 to guide the movement of the dynamic plate 120 relative to the fixed plate 110.

[0068] As shown in Figure 2 The guide structure 150 is located between the fixed plate 110 and the dynamic plate 120 and extends along the first direction (e.g. front and back direction). The guide structure 150 ensures that the dynamic plate 120 can maintain straight-line movement when moving along the first direction, avoiding lateral deviation or shaking.

[0069] When the user applies force through the long arm 131, the moving plate 120 moves smoothly along the first direction under the guidance of the guide structure 150, ensuring that its movement relative to the fixed plate 110 is precise and stable. The guide structure 150 not only guides the movement direction of the moving plate 120, but also acts as a limiter to prevent unnecessary lateral displacement of the moving plate 120 during operation, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the entire insertion process.

[0070] The guide structure 150 ensures a more precise movement trajectory for the moving plate 120, thereby improving the accuracy of server-rack docking. The guide structure 150 reduces instability factors during the movement of the moving plate 120, enhancing the overall stability of the insertion aid. The guide structure 150 also simplifies the installation and removal of the moving plate 120, reducing the difficulty of on-site operations and improving work efficiency.

[0071] In one embodiment, the guide structure 150 includes a plurality of guide posts 151 extending along a first direction. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the guide structure 150 includes four guide posts 151, which correspond to the four corners of the rectangular movable plate 120 to ensure the stability of the movable plate 120 when it moves along the first direction.

[0072] In one implementation, one end of the guide post 151 is fixed to the moving plate 120, and the other end is slidably connected to the fixed plate 110. For example... Figure 5 As shown, a guide hole 152 is formed on the fixed plate 110, and a guide sleeve is installed in the guide hole 152 to slide with the guide post 151.

[0073] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, along the second direction, i.e. Figure 6 In the X direction, both ends of the fixed plate 110 protrude from both ends of the moving plate 120; the fixed structure 140 is fixed to the ends of the fixed plate 110 that protrude from the moving plate 120.

[0074] Along a second direction (e.g., left-right), both ends of the fixed plate 110 protrude beyond both ends of the movable plate 120. This design allows the fixed plate 110 to completely cover and protect the movable plate 120, while providing sufficient installation space for the fixing structure 140. The fixing structure 140 is located at the end of the fixed plate 110 that protrudes from the movable plate 120, facilitating the fixation of the entire insertion aid. By placing the fixing structure 140 on the protruding portion of the fixed plate 110, it is ensured that the fixing structure 140 will not interfere with the movable plate 120, while also enhancing the overall stability of the insertion aid.

[0075] like Figure 6As shown, along the X direction, both sides of the fixed plate 110 are provided with a fixing structure 140. In an implementation, the insertion aid is fixed to the stand column of the cabinet through the fixing structure 140, and the movable plate 120 is located between the two stand columns, so that the movable plate 120 can move in the first direction within the internal space of the cabinet to push the server.

[0076] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7-9 , and referring to Figure 6 , the fixing structure 140 includes a positioning piece 141, which is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 110 facing the movable plate 120 and protrudes from the surface of the side of the movable plate 120 away from the fixed plate 110, for plug-in cooperation with the cabinet.

[0077] As shown in Figure 6 , the positioning piece 141 is fixedly arranged on the side of the fixed plate 110 facing the movable plate 120, and the positioning piece 141 protrudes from the surface of the side of the movable plate 120 away from the fixed plate 110, ensuring that it can be directly plug-in cooperated with the cabinet.

[0078] As shown in Figures 7-9 , the positioning piece 141 includes an extension part 1411 and a plug-in part 1412, the transverse dimension of the extension part 1411 is greater than that of the plug-in part 1412, ensuring the strength of the positioning piece 141. The shape and size of the plug-in part 1412 are adapted to the interface on the stand column of the cabinet, facilitating plug-in positioning.

[0079] When the insertion aid is installed to the cabinet, the positioning piece 141 can be accurately inserted into the corresponding interface of the cabinet, ensuring the stable connection of the insertion aid with the cabinet. The positioning piece 141 not only plays a fixing role, but also provides accurate guidance during installation, ensuring that the movable plate 120 can smoothly enter the cabinet and correspond to the server position inside the cabinet, avoiding misalignment or deviation.

[0080] The design of the positioning piece 141 enables the insertion aid to be accurately aligned and inserted into the cabinet, improving the success rate and accuracy of installation. Moreover, through plug-in cooperation with the cabinet, the positioning piece 141 ensures the stability of the insertion aid during the entire use process, preventing loosening or falling off. The user only needs to align the positioning piece 141 with the interface of the cabinet, and can easily complete the installation, simplifying the operation steps and improving the work efficiency.

[0081] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 7-9 , and referring to Figure 6 , the fixing structure 140 further includes an elastic clamping hook 142, which is fixed to the side of the fixed plate 110 facing the movable plate 120; the elastic clamping hook 142 includes a driving part 1421 and a clamping part 1422, the clamping part 1422 is used for clamping locking with the cabinet; the driving part 1421 is used for driving the clamping part 1422 to be unlocked from the cabinet.

[0082] AsFigure 6 As shown, the elastic clamping hook 142 is fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 110 and extends towards one side of the movable plate 120. The elastic clamping hook 142 includes a driving part 1421 and a clamping part 1422, and the clamping part 1422 is clamped and unlocked with the corresponding structure on the cabinet to ensure that the plug-in aid is firmly installed on the stand column of the cabinet. The driving part 1421 is used for manual operation, and the clamping part 1422 is moved by applying force to be unlocked with the cabinet stand column.

[0083] As shown in Figures 7-9 , the elastic clamping hook 142 includes a driving part 1421 and a clamping part 1422, and the driving part 1421 is exposed on the surface of the fixed plate 110 away from the movable plate 120. By pulling the driving part 1421, the clamping part 1422 is unlocked.

[0084] When the plug-in aid is installed on the cabinet, the clamping part 1422 can be accurately clamped with the corresponding structure of the cabinet to ensure the stable connection of the plug-in aid with the cabinet. By operating the driving part 1421, the clamping part 1422 can be driven to separate from the clamping structure of the cabinet, thereby achieving unlocking. The user only needs to simply operate the driving part 1421 to complete the clamping and unlocking actions, simplifying the installation and disassembly process.

[0085] The design of the elastic clamping hook 142 ensures the firm connection of the plug-in aid with the cabinet, preventing loosening or falling off during use. The clamping and unlocking functions make the plug-in aid more secure and reliable during installation and disassembly, avoiding accidental slipping. Through simple operation of the driving part 1421, the user can easily complete the installation and disassembly, improving work efficiency.

[0086] In one implementation, as shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the fixed plate 110 includes a fixed plate body 111 and a second assembly 112, and the second assembly 112 is installed on the fixed plate body 111 by screws 113. Referring to Figure 2 , the plug-in handle 130 is rotatably installed on the fixed plate body 111 by a rotating shaft 133. As shown in Figure 7 , an axis hole 1101 is formed on the fixed plate body 111. As shown in Figure 8 , an axis hole 1101 is formed on the second assembly 112. The two axis holes are rotatably matched with the two ends of the rotating shaft 133.

[0087] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, in order to facilitate the assembly of the second assembly part 112 with the fixed plate body 111, the second assembly part 112 is formed with second positioning strips 1121 on both sides, and the fixed plate body 111 is formed with second positioning grooves 1111 matched with the second positioning strips 1121. The second positioning strips 1121 and the second positioning grooves 1111 are in sliding fit, which facilitates the pre-fixing of the second assembly part 112 and the screwing of the screw 113.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 , and referring to Figure 6 , the fixed plate 110 is formed with a locking groove on the side away from the movable plate 120, which is used for clamping and locking with the second end of the long arm 131.

[0089] When the long arm 131 is locked with the fixed plate 110, the movable plate 120 is located at the extreme position away from the fixed plate 110.

[0090] As shown in Figure 9 , the locking groove is located on the side of the fixed plate 110 away from the movable plate 120, which is used for clamping and locking with the second end of the long arm 131. By clamping the second end of the long arm 131 into the locking groove, it can ensure that the long arm 131 is firmly connected with the fixed plate 110, preventing the insertion aid handle 130 from loosening or moving when the external force is removed, thereby causing the movable plate 120 to move and causing the server to pop out.

[0091] When the second end of the long arm 131 is clamped into the locking groove, the long arm 131 and the fixed plate 110 form a stable structure, ensuring that the entire insertion aid remains stable during operation. In the case where the long arm 131 is locked with the fixed plate 110, the movable plate 120 will be driven to the extreme position away from the fixed plate 110, i.e. at this time the server is interconnected with the cabinet, avoiding the server from popping out after the external force is removed, facilitating subsequent operation.

[0092] As shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the insertion aid handle 130 is formed with a locking hook 1311 that clamps and cooperates with the locking groove. In an implementation, as shown in Figure 11 , the second end of the long arm 131 is formed with a hook mounting groove 1310, and the locking hook 1311 is rotatably mounted in the hook mounting groove 1310 through a pin shaft 1312. The locking hook 1311 is in L-shaped structure, having a hook end and a driving end, and the driving end is connected with the long arm 131 through an elastic return member 1313 such as a spring. It should be noted that both the hook end and the driving end protrude out of the hook mounting groove 1310. By pressing the driving end towards the long arm 131, the driving end extrudes the elastic return member 1313, achieving the unlocking of the hook end. After the external force is removed, the driving end returns to the initial state under the action of the elastic return member 1313.

[0093] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 , and referring to Figure 6The fixed plate 110 is fixed with a handheld handle 160 on the side away from the movable plate 120.

[0094] The handheld handle 160 is fixed on the side of the fixed plate 110 away from the movable plate 120, which is convenient for users to hold and operate. The handheld handle 160 provides a stable holding point for the user, making it easier and more stable to install, disassemble or adjust the plug-in aid.

[0095] In a second aspect, as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 , the application also provides a data center, comprising a cabinet, a server 300 and a standalone plug-in aid 100 as any one of the embodiments of the first aspect;

[0096] The server 300 is slidingly installed in the cabinet.

[0097] The standalone plug-in aid 100 is fixed to the cabinet by the fixing structure 140, and is used to drive the server 300 to interconnect with the cabinet.

[0098] As shown in Figures 12-15 , the cabinet comprises two column assemblies 210, each of which comprises a first column 211 and a second column 212, the first column 211 is formed with a plug-in slot 2110, and the second column 212 has a gap d with the first column 211. The fixing structure 140 in the standalone plug-in aid 100 cooperates with the column assembly 210 to fix the entire plug-in aid. Specifically, the plug-in part 1412 of the positioning part 141 is plug-in matched with the plug-in slot 2110 to realize the positioning of the plug-in aid, as shown in Figure 13 ; the clamping part 1422 of the elastic clamping hook 142 is inserted into the gap d and clamped with the second column 212, as shown in Figure 16 .

[0099] The data center provided by the embodiments of the application introduces the standalone plug-in aid 100, which not only improves the stability and reliability of the interconnection between the server and the cabinet, but also simplifies the operation steps and improves the operation efficiency.

[0100] In some embodiments, the server is provided with a mounting position for locking with the cabinet, and the fixed plate 110 of the standalone plug-in aid 100 is provided with an avoiding position 1103 for avoiding the mounting position, as shown in Figure 17 .

[0101] In one implementation, as shown in Figure 17 , the avoiding position 1103 is a notch on the fixed plate 110, which is located below the elastic clamping hook 142.

[0102] The design of the avoiding position 1103 can make the independent server insertion device 100 push the server and the cabinet to be connected, and then lock the server and the cabinet without removing the server insertion device, so as to avoid the server from being popped out of the cabinet after the server insertion device is removed.

[0103] When the server insertion device is used to insert the whole cabinet server into the cabinet, the server insertion handle 130 needs to be opened, that is, rotated clockwise around the rotating shaft 133, and the elastic clamping hook 142 needs to be pressed to be retracted. After the insertion part 1412 of the positioning part 141 is aligned with the insertion slot 2110 of the cabinet, the server insertion device is pushed to the rear of the cabinet. After the server insertion device is in place, the elastic clamping hook 142 is popped out to hook the cabinet column, and the fixing of the server insertion device and the cabinet is completed.

[0104] After the server insertion device and the cabinet are fixed, the server insertion handle 130 is rotated counterclockwise. The server insertion handle 130 has the labor-saving feature by adopting the lever structure. During the rotation process, the server insertion handle 130 drives the moving plate 120 to move forward to push the server to move inward to complete the insertion with the cabinet. After the insertion is in place, the locking hook 1311 on the server insertion handle 130 can be connected with the locking slot on the fixed plate 110, and the self-locking is completed to avoid the server from being popped out after the external force of the operator is removed. Then, the operator uses a screwdriver to pass through the avoiding position 1103 opening on the fixed plate 110 to fix the screw on the server box ear with the cabinet, and the insertion and fixing of the server and the cabinet are completed.

[0105] After the server and the cabinet are fixed, the operator manually presses the driving part 1421 of the elastic clamping hook 142 to make the clamping part 1422 retract and be separated from the cabinet. Then, the operator holds the hand-held handle 160 to take out the server insertion device to make the server insertion device be separated from the cabinet, and the whole server mounting process is completed.

[0106] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Thus, if these modifications and variations of the present application belong to the scope of the claims of the present application and the equivalent technology thereof, the present application also intends to include these modifications and variations.
