Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal processing technology, specifically to a movable support base for a metal cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Metal server racks are widely used in many fields such as industry, communications, and power. These racks are typically used to install and protect various electrical equipment, communication equipment, servers, and other critical facilities. However, in practical applications, existing metal server racks have some problems that urgently need to be addressed, among which inconvenience in movement and the lack of movable support columns are particularly prominent.

[0003] Traditional metal server racks are often not designed and installed with the need for future relocation in mind. Most metal racks are large and heavy, making them difficult to move once installed and fixed in a specific location. This is because their bases are typically equipped with only simple mounting feet or bases that are in direct contact with the ground. When the rack needs to be moved, the significant friction between the rack and the ground, coupled with the lack of effective moving aids, often requires considerable manpower and resources to move it, resulting in inefficiency and the risk of damage to the rack itself and surrounding equipment during the process.

[0004] It's worth noting that while some metal server racks utilize casters to address mobility issues, these casters present a stability problem when the rack is placed. When a rack is positioned on casters, the contact area between the casters and the ground is relatively small, and the material and structure of the casters are often insufficient to support the weight of the rack and its internal equipment. This leads to the rack easily wobbling or even tipping over during placement. This instability is particularly pronounced on uneven surfaces, potentially affecting the normal operation of the equipment and even causing damage. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-5 This embodiment provides a movable support base for metal cabinets, mainly used to solve the problems of inconvenience in moving existing metal cabinets and poor stability during placement. The support base mainly includes a support plate 1 for placing the cabinet, with rollers 2 at the bottom of the support plate 1, and a horizontal abutment plate 3 at the bottom of the support plate 1. The abutment plate 3 is fixedly connected by multiple hydraulic cylinders 4 fixed to the bottom of the support plate 1. A pull rod 5 is horizontally provided inside the support plate 1, and a sliding groove 11 with an opening on the left side is horizontally opened inside the support plate 1 corresponding to the pull rod 5, allowing the pull rod 5 to slide horizontally within the sliding groove 11.

[0022] In the initial state, roller 2 is in contact with the ground, and pull rod 5 can be pulled out, making it easy for staff to move the metal cabinet on the ground. When it is necessary to fix the metal cabinet, the hydraulic cylinder 4 is extended by external equipment, causing the abutment plate 3 to move downwards and finally abut against the ground. At this time, the abutment plate 3 increases the contact area at the support, which can effectively improve the stability of the cabinet when placed. At the same time, the pull rod 5 can be retracted into the sliding groove 11 when not in use, avoiding space occupation.

[0023] Furthermore, a sliding block 51 is provided at the right end of the pull rod 5, and the left side of the sliding block 51 is rotatably connected to the pull rod 5. Limiting sliders 52 are provided on the upper and lower sides of the sliding block 51, and limiting grooves 12 are horizontally formed on the upper and lower sides of the sliding groove 11 corresponding to the limiting sliders 52. This design makes the pull rod 5 more stable when sliding within the sliding groove 11, preventing the pull rod 5 from shifting or wobbling during movement, thus ensuring stable support and assisting in the movement of the metal cabinet.

[0024] In practical use, when the metal cabinet needs to be moved, the operator can hold the pull rod 5 and pull it to the right. At this time, the sliding block 51 will move within the sliding groove 11. Due to the cooperation of the limiting slider 52 and the limiting groove 12, the sliding block 51 can only slide stably along the direction of the sliding groove 11, thereby driving the pull rod 5 to move smoothly to the right. The rotating connection allows the pull rod 5 to be rotated at a suitable angle for the operator to pull after being pulled out, making it more convenient to use. In this way, the metal cabinet can be moved more effortlessly, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the movement.

[0025] Furthermore, a first baffle 13 is fixedly installed on the left side of the support base. The function of the first baffle 13 is to prevent the cabinet from shifting to the left during the movement of the metal cabinet, thus playing a certain limiting role.

[0026] Meanwhile, a placement slot 14 is provided on the right side of the support base, and a second baffle 15 is rotatably mounted within the placement slot 14. The second baffle 15 can rotate upwards along the rotatable connection until it fits snugly against the cabinet, and a threaded rod 6 is provided on the second baffle 15 that can be threadedly connected to the cabinet. After the metal cabinet is moved to the designated position, the second baffle 15 is rotated upwards until it fits snugly against the cabinet, and then the second baffle 15 is fixedly connected to the cabinet via the threaded rod 6. This not only further restricts the movement of the cabinet and ensures its stability, but also allows for adjustment of the tightness of the connection between the second baffle 15 and the cabinet as needed.

[0027] Meanwhile, a positioning groove 16 is provided on the side of the support base corresponding to the bottom support legs of the cabinet. When the metal cabinet is placed on the support base, the bottom support legs of the cabinet can be precisely inserted into the positioning groove 16, thereby achieving precise positioning of the cabinet on the support base and preventing the cabinet from shaking or shifting during placement, further improving the stability and reliability of the cabinet placement.

[0028] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 7 is provided at the bottom of the abutment plate 3. When the hydraulic cylinder 4 extends to bring the abutment plate 3 against the ground, the anti-slip pad 7 increases the friction between the abutment plate 3 and the ground, preventing the abutment plate 3 from sliding on the ground, thereby further improving the stability of the metal cabinet when placed. Especially on some smooth surfaces, the anti-slip pad 7 plays a more significant role, effectively avoiding cabinet instability caused by the low coefficient of friction of the ground.
