[0025] This application provides a foldable and retractable server rack, which effectively solves the technical problem that when the rack door is fully extended in a narrow environment, it will occupy too much space, affecting the passage of personnel or the operation of adjacent racks, and making it difficult for staff to carry out inspection work.
[0026] Example
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the technical solution in this application embodiment effectively solves the technical problem that when the cabinet door is fully opened in a narrow environment, it will occupy too much space, affecting personnel passage or the operation of adjacent cabinets, and making it difficult for staff to carry out inspections. The overall idea is as follows:
[0028] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a foldable and retractable server rack, including a rack body 1. A second rack door 3 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rack body 1. A first rack door 2 is provided outside the second rack door 3. A rotating mechanism for folding and rotating the first rack door 2 is provided outside the second rack door 3. The rotating mechanism includes a groove 4, a rotating shaft 5, a storage plate 6, an extension plate 7, and a rotating shaft 8. The groove 4 is located outside the second rack door 3. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably connected inside the groove 4. The storage plate 6 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 5. One end of the extension plate 7 is slidably connected to the outside of the storage plate 6. The rotating shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the extension plate 7. A mounting bracket 9 is provided outside the first rack door 2. The two ends of the rotating shaft 8 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the mounting bracket 9. The first rack door 2 can be folded and retracted by rotating the rotating shaft 5 and the rotating shaft 8, thereby reducing the space occupied by the entire rack door when it is open and improving space utilization.
[0029] The storage plate 6 has a groove 10 on its outside. The extension plate 7 is slidably connected inside the groove 10. The upper end of the storage plate 6 has a limiting groove 11. A limiting plate 12 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 11. The limiting plate 12 is fixedly installed on the outside of the storage plate 6 and is used to limit the movement range of the storage plate 6. It is the connection structure between the storage plate 6 and the extension plate 7. The limiting plate 12 limits the movement range of the storage plate 6 and prevents excessive sliding from causing the connection between the storage plate 6 and the extension plate 7 to be disengaged.
[0030] The cabinet door 2 has a mounting groove 13 on one side corresponding to the mounting bracket 9. The mounting bracket 9 is snapped into the inside of the mounting groove 13. The mounting bracket 9 has a receiving groove 16 on the outside. A spring 17 for supporting the fixing block 14 is fixedly connected inside the receiving groove 16. The fixing block 14 is fixedly connected outside the spring 17. The fixing block 14 is slidably connected inside the receiving groove 16. The cabinet door 2 has a fixing groove 15 on one side corresponding to the fixing block 14. The fixing groove 15 communicates with the inside of the mounting groove 13. The fixing block 14 is slidably connected inside the fixing groove 15 and is used to restrict the lateral movement of the mounting bracket 9. When disassembling the cabinet door 2, push the fixing block 14 to release the connection between the fixing block 14 and the fixing groove 15. Then pull the cabinet door 2 laterally to release the connection between the mounting bracket 9 and the mounting groove 13. The cabinet door 2 can be quickly disassembled for easy maintenance and replacement.
[0031] A movable groove 18 is provided on the lower surface of the rotating shaft 5. A spring 19 is fixedly connected inside the movable groove 18, and a fixed shaft 20 is fixedly connected outside the spring 19. The fixed shaft 20 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 18. A connecting hole 21 is provided inside the groove 4. The fixed shaft 20 is rotatably connected inside the connecting hole 21 and used for the installation of the rotating shaft 5. An opening 22 is provided on the side of the rotating shaft 5 corresponding to the movable groove 18. A slider 23 is slidably connected inside the opening 22. The slider 23 is fixedly installed outside the fixed shaft 20. Pushing the slider 23 upward causes the slider 23 to drive the fixed shaft 20 to move upward. At this time, the connection between the fixed shaft 20 and the connecting hole 21 is released. At this time, the rotating shaft 5 can be taken out from inside the groove 4.
[0032] Working principle:
[0033] First, when cabinet 1 is opened, release the locking mechanism between cabinet door 2 and cabinet 1. At this time, pull cabinet door 2 horizontally to slide the extension plate 7 out of the groove 4. Cabinet door 2 can then be rotated via pivot 5 until cabinet door 2 and cabinet door 3 are perpendicular. Then, rotate cabinet door 2 again via pivot 8 until cabinet door 2 and cabinet door 3 are parallel. At this time, cabinet door 2 is folded and retracted. Cabinet door 3 can then be rotated to open cabinet 1.
[0034] The second step is to press the fixing block 14 when the cabinet door 2 is not needed, so that the fixing block 14 enters the interior of the receiving groove 16. At this time, the spring 17 is compressed. Then, pull the cabinet door 2 to disconnect the connection between the mounting bracket 9 and the mounting groove 13. At this time, the cabinet door 2 is disassembled.
[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
