Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically a server rack. Background Technology

[0002] A server rack is a floor-standing rectangular enclosure consisting of a metal frame and a cover plate. It is mainly used to integrate and install electronic components such as servers, switches, and storage devices, forming a physical unit with security protection and a stable operating environment.

[0003] Currently, some server racks have movable trays that support servers, allowing the servers to be moved out of the rack for maintenance. However, when moving servers, the data cables connected to them can easily interfere with the movement. If the data cables are short during the initial installation, they can hinder the server's movement. If the data cables are too long, their positions are not fixed, and excess cables pile up behind the server, creating a messy situation and potentially affecting their usability.

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-7As shown, a server rack includes a rack housing 1, a rack bracket 2 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rack housing 1, a connector 3 disposed on the surface of the rack bracket 2, and a tray body 4 mounted on the surface of the connector 3. A movable plate 5 is slidably connected to the top of the tray body 4, and a slot 6 is formed at the bottom of the movable plate 5. A retaining plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the tray body 4, and the surface of the retaining plate 7 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slot 6. The movable plate 5 is guided by the cooperation of the slot 6 and the retaining plate 7, thereby increasing the stability of the movable plate 5 during movement. A reset mechanism 9 is installed on the top of the tray body 4, and a slanted frame 1 is provided on the surface of the reset mechanism 9. 0. A through groove 11 is provided on the top of the pallet body 4. The surface of the inclined frame 10 contacts the inner wall of the through groove 11. Extension plates 12 are fixedly connected to both sides of the movable plate 5. The bottom of the extension plates 12 is slidably connected to the top of the pallet body 4. A pressure plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the extension plates 12. The bottom of the pressure plate 13 contacts the top of the inclined frame 10. A T-shaped plate 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate 13. The surface of the T-shaped plate 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inclined frame 10. The T-shaped plate 14 increases the stability of the relative position between the pressure plate 13 and the inclined frame 10, so that the pressure plate 13 can better cooperate with the inclined frame 10. Both sides of the top of the T-shaped plate 14 are embedded with ball bearings 8, and both sides of the bottom of the inclined frame 10 are provided with grooves 15. The surface of the ball bearings 8 contacts the inner wall of the groove 15. The cooperation between the ball bearings 8 and the groove 15 can increase the smoothness of the T-shaped plate 14 when it moves. A horizontal plate 16 is installed at the bottom of the reset mechanism 9. A rubber ring 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 16. The top of the rubber ring 17 contacts the bottom of the tray body 4. The rubber ring 17 reduces the hard contact between the horizontal plate 16 and the tray body 4 when the reset mechanism 9 lifts the horizontal plate 16. A limit ring 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 16. The server's data cable passes through the limiting ring 18, which limits the data cable. A spring 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the horizontal plate 16. The surface of the spring 19 contacts the surface of the limiting ring 18. The spring 19 increases the stability of the data cable being limited by the limiting ring 18. The operator can move the spring 19 away from the limiting ring 18. Then, under the action of its own elasticity, the spring 19 can reset and contact the surface of the limiting ring 18. A protective frame 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the tray body 4. The protective frame 22 protects the inclined frame 10 and prevents the upper inclined frame 10 from affecting the server below.

[0025] The top of the pallet body 4 and the movable plate 5 are detachably connected with bolts, and the bottom of the pallet body 4 is detachably connected with nuts threaded onto the bolt surface. The bolts pass through the movable plate 5 and the pallet body 4 and engage with the nuts to fix the position of the movable plate 5 and the pallet body 4.

[0026] The reset mechanism 9 includes a reset rod 91, a lifting plate 92, and a compression spring 93. The reset rod 91 slides through the top of the tray body 4. The lifting plate 92 is fixedly connected to the top of the reset rod 91. The horizontal plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the reset rod 91. The compression spring 93 is sleeved on the surface of the reset rod 91. When the pressure plate 13 presses down on the inclined frame 10, the lifting plate 92 drives the horizontal plate 16 to descend through the reset rod 91, so that the limiting ring 18 and the spring piece 19 at the top of the horizontal plate 16 can pull down the excess data lines of the server, reducing the messy tangling of data lines and affecting normal use. A fixing plate 20 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting plate 92. A guide rod 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 20. The guide rod 21 slides through the tray body 4. The setting of the guide rod 21 can increase the stability of the lifting plate 92 when it moves.

[0027] Working principle: The staff places the server on top of the movable plate 5. The tray body 4 and the movable plate 5 cooperate to support the server. During this process, the staff can first pull the movable plate 5 and move the spring 19, and then pass the data cable through the limiting ring 18. After that, the staff can place the server on top of the movable plate 5 and connect the data cable to the movable plate 5. The connection between the server and the data cable is a mature existing technology and will not be described in detail here. When the staff pushes the movable plate 5 into the cabinet shell 1, the extension plate 12 drives the pressure plate 13 to move. The pressure plate 13 presses down on the inclined frame 10. The lifting plate 92 then drives the horizontal plate 16 to descend through the reset rod 91 so that the limiting ring 18 can pull down the data cable. In this way, the remaining data cable can be organized so that the staff can move the server normally in the future. After the movable plate 5 moves into the cabinet shell 1, the stability between the movable plate 5 and the tray body 4 can be increased by the connection of bolts and nuts.

[0028] When staff need to inspect the server, they can first disconnect the bolts and nuts, and then pull the movable plate 5. The server moves out of the cabinet housing 1 along with the movable plate 5. At the same time, under the elastic force of the compression spring 93, the reset rod 91 can drive the inclined frame 10 to rise, and the horizontal plate 16 will rise accordingly. Excess data cables can be extended to accommodate the server movement, so as to reduce the possibility that the length of the data cables will affect the normal movement of the movable plate 5 when the staff moves it.
