[0031] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 1-3This utility model provides a server cable management and storage structure, wherein the support mechanism 100 is composed of a support rod 110 connected to the server chassis, and the support rod 110 provides basic support for the entire cable management and storage structure.

[0034] The cable management mechanism 200 consists of an integrally formed fixing ring 210 and an open cable management tube 211. The fixing ring 210 is fitted onto the surface of the support rod 110, allowing the cable management mechanism 200 to slide on the support rod 110. This facilitates adjustment of the position according to the distribution of cables and actual needs. The cable management tube 211 has a strip-shaped cable inlet hole. The cable inlet hole path extends from one open side of the cable management tube 211 to the other open side, forming an S-shape or V-shape, making it less likely for cables to accidentally come out of the cable management tube 211.

[0035] The fixing ring 210 has a notch with a width smaller than the diameter of the support rod 110, which makes it easy for the fixing ring 210 to fit into the support rod 110. Both the fixing ring 210 and the cable management tube 211 are plastic components. Plastic material has the advantages of being lightweight, low cost, and having good insulation, which meets the usage requirements of the cable management structure.

[0036] Both sides of the cable management tube 211 are connected to rubber rings 212. The rubber rings 212 have openings that are opposite to the cable inlet holes of the cable management tube 211, which enhances the fixation and protection of the cable. The rubber material has good elasticity, which prevents the cable from directly rubbing against the port of the cable management tube 211 and protects the cable. The edges of the strip-shaped cable inlet holes of the cable management tube 211 and the openings of the rubber rings 212 are designed with arc surfaces to prevent sharp edges from scratching the cable.

[0037] When using this server cable management structure, first push several fixing rings 210 along the support rod 110. According to the actual distribution and direction of the cables on the server chassis, adjust the fixing rings 210 to the appropriate position on the support rod 110. Then, pull down the server cables and insert them into the cable management tube 211 and rubber ring 212 one by one through the strip-shaped cable entry hole. Organize each cable in this way to complete the entire server cable management work. The cables are neatly stored in the cable management tube 211, making the wiring inside the server chassis more tidy and beautiful, and effectively avoiding cable tangling and compression.

[0038] Example 2:

[0039] Refer to the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 3The difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that: a support 111 with holes is connected to the end of the support rod 110. The support 111 is fixed to the inside of the server housing by screws. A magnet 113 is embedded on the side of the support 111 near the server housing. The magnet 113 can magnetically attract the server housing. The magnetic attraction design plays an auxiliary positioning role during the installation process, making it convenient for the operator to pre-fix the support 111 to the installation position on the server housing.

[0040] The support rod 110 is divided into two sections. At the opposite positions of the two support rod sections 110, a cavity and a connecting extension rod 112 are respectively opened. The extension rod 112 can move within the cavity, so that the distance between the two support rod sections 110 can be adjusted according to the internal space layout and actual needs of the server, so as to better adapt to the internal structure of different models of servers.

[0041] When installing the cable management and storage structure, first place the support rod 110 inside the server. Then, separate the two support rods 110 and adjust the distance between the two support rods 110 by pulling out the extension rod 112 in the cavity until the supports 111 at both ends are accurately aligned with the mounting holes on the server.

[0042] After the support 111 is aligned with the mounting hole, screw the bolts into the through hole of the support 111 in sequence to firmly fix the support 111 to the server housing.
