Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of battery brackets for server racks, specifically a modular quick-change battery bracket structure for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] A server rack is a structural frame or container specifically designed to store and manage servers and related network equipment (such as switches, routers, and storage devices). It is typically made of metal, possessing sufficient strength and stability to effectively protect the equipment and provide suitable environmental conditions for its normal operation. Batteries provide power to the equipment within the server rack. To facilitate battery replacement, server racks often use battery holders to house the batteries. Existing server rack battery holders are usually made of metal, square in shape with an open top, and have high load-bearing capacity to ensure the batteries are properly secured. For stability and safety within the cabinet, the bracket is connected to the cabinet via a slide rail. When replacing the battery, rotate the limit handle to release the bracket's limit, pull the handle outward to fully extend the bracket, and then remove the battery upward through the opening. A new battery is then inserted, completing the battery replacement. Traditional server cabinets, for ease of battery replacement, simply place the battery inside the bracket, lacking a limit device. Replacing the battery requires lifting it upward, which is very laborious. The exposed limit handle is prone to accidental activation and incomplete limit engagement. Therefore, we propose a modular quick-change battery bracket structure for server cabinets. Utility Model Content

The insertion post is slidably connected to the inside of the groove. The inner end of the insertion post is installed in conjunction with the inner wall of the vertically adjacent arc-shaped groove. The insertion hole is respectively opened on the right side of the front and rear side walls of the cabinet. The outer end of the insertion post is inserted into the inner wall of the vertically adjacent insertion hole, providing a basis for fixing and releasing the rack. The drive assembly is located on the right end of the fixing plate. The fixing assembly is located inside the cabinet. It is equipped with a quick-release mechanism, which can fix and release the battery as the rack moves. The battery can be replaced by pulling it out. The handle also has an accurate limiting effect, which can quickly fix and release the rack, avoiding accidental contact and incomplete limiting.

[0006] Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a handle that is rotatably connected to the middle right side of the inner side of the limiting plate, providing a driving effect for fixing and releasing the placement rack.

[0007] Furthermore, the drive assembly also includes a limiting groove and a limiting block. The limiting groove is located in the middle of the right side of the fixed plate, and the limiting block is located at the lower rear end of the limiting groove. The outer surface of the handle is fitted with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the outer surface of the limiting block is attached to the lower end of the handle, providing a basis for the accurate rotation of the handle.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixing component includes gears, limiting plates, and rack plates. The gears are rotatably connected to the upper middle of the front and rear sides of the placement rack, the limiting plates are all located on the upper ends of the gears, and the rack plates are all located on the upper middle of the front and rear side walls of the cabinet. The gears are all meshed with the vertically adjacent rack plates to provide a limiting effect for the interior of the placement rack.

[0009] Furthermore, the fixing component includes locking grooves and locking heads. The locking grooves are respectively opened at the front and rear ends of the upper right side of the placement frame, and the locking heads are respectively rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the upper inside of the fixing plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the modular quick-change battery bracket structure of this server rack has the following advantages:

[0013] 1. When the placement rack moves outward, the gear meshes with the rack plate, and the limit plate deflects to the right away from the battery surface, automatically releasing the battery. When the placement rack moves inward, the gear meshes with the rack plate, and the limit plate returns to its original position and fits against the battery surface, automatically fixing the battery. The battery can be fixed and released as the placement rack moves.

[0014] 2. The battery can be replaced by rotating the locking head to fix and release the fixing plate. The handle itself can rotate. When moving the placement rack, the handle is pulled out and rotated 90 degrees. The handle is in contact with the upper end of the limit block, which drives the outer end of the plug to leave the inside of the socket. After releasing the placement rack, the handle is then inserted into the inside of the limit groove. When fixing the placement rack, the handle is pulled out and rotated back to its original position. The handle is in contact with the front end of the limit block, which drives the outer end of the plug to insert into the inside of the socket. After fixing the placement rack, the handle is then inserted into the inside of the limit groove. This avoids the situation where the handle is exposed and the limit is not in place or is accidentally touched. Attached Figure Description

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a technical solution: a modular quick-change battery bracket structure for server racks, including a rack 1, a sliding rack 2 inside the rack 1, a fixing plate 3 rotatably connected to the right end of the rack 2, the fixing plate 3 being hinged to the lower front side of the rack 2 via a lower pivot, a sliding groove 5 being provided in the middle of the interior of the fixing plate 3, a quick-release mechanism 4, an outer rail 6 and an inner rail 7, the outer rail 6 being respectively located in the middle of the front and rear side walls of the rack 1, the inner rail 7 being respectively located in the middle of the front and rear sides of the rack 2, the outer surface of the inner rail 7 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the vertically adjacent outer rail 6, the outer rail 6 and the inner rail 7 together forming a slide rail, providing a basis for the movement of the rack 2;

[0022] Quick-release mechanism 4: It includes a limiting plate 41, an arc-shaped groove 42, insertion posts 43, insertion holes 44, a drive assembly 45, and a fixing assembly 46. The limiting plate 41 is rotatably connected to the inner center of the fixing plate 3. The arc-shaped grooves 42 are respectively opened on the front and rear sides inside the limiting plate 41. The insertion posts 43 are all slidably connected to the inside of the slide groove 5. The side of the arc-shaped groove 42 and the inner end of the insertion post 43 that are laterally adjacent are both away from the outer edge of the limiting plate 41. The inner ends of the insertion posts 43 are all fitted with the inner walls of the vertically adjacent arc-shaped grooves 42. The insertion holes 44 are respectively opened on the right ends of the front and rear side walls of the cabinet 1. The outer ends of the insertion posts 43 are all inserted into the inner walls of the vertically adjacent insertion holes 44, providing a basis for fixing and releasing the rack 2. The drive assembly... Component 45 is located at the right end of the fixed plate 3. The drive assembly 45 includes a handle 452, which is rotatably connected to the middle right side of the inner side of the limiting plate 41, providing a driving effect for fixing and releasing the placement rack 2. The drive assembly 45 also includes a limiting groove 451 and a limiting block 453. The limiting groove 451 is located in the middle right side of the fixed plate 3, and the limiting block 453 is located at the lower rear end of the limiting groove 451. The outer surface of the handle 452 is fitted with the inner wall of the limiting groove 451, and the outer surface of the limiting block 453 is attached to the lower end of the handle 452, providing a basis for the accurate rotation of the handle 452. All fixing components 46 are located in the cabinet. Inside the rack 1, the fixing component 46 includes gears 461, limiting plates 462, and rack plates 463. Gears 461 are rotatably connected to the upper middle parts of the front and rear sides of the rack 2. Limiting plates 462 are all located above the gears 461. Rack plates 463 are located at the upper middle parts of the front and rear side walls of the rack 1. Gears 461 mesh with vertically adjacent rack plates 463, providing a limiting effect inside the rack 2. The fixing component 46 includes locking grooves 47 and locking heads 48. Locking grooves 47 are respectively opened at the front and rear ends of the upper right side of the rack 2. Locking heads 48 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the upper interior of the fixing plate 3. Locking heads 48 mesh with vertically adjacent locking grooves 47. The inner wall is fitted with locking heads 48, which are engaged with the inner wall of the vertically adjacent locking grooves 47, providing a basis for the opening and closing of the fixing plate 3. It also includes a buffer pad 8 and a battery 9. The buffer pad 8 is set on the upper end of the bottom wall of the placement rack 2, and the battery 9 is set inside the placement rack 2. The lower end of the battery 9 is attached to the upper end of the buffer pad 8, and the lower end of the limiting plate 462 is attached to the upper end of the battery 9, providing a buffering effect for fixing the battery 9. A quick release mechanism 4 is provided, which can fix and release the battery 9 as the placement rack 2 moves. The battery 9 can be replaced by pulling. The handle 452 also has an accurate limiting effect, which can quickly fix and release the placement rack 2, avoiding accidental contact and incomplete limiting.

[0023] The working principle of the modular quick-change battery bracket structure for server racks provided by this utility model is as follows: When replacing battery 9, pull handle 452 outward, then hold handle 452 and pull out the placement rack 2. As the placement rack 2 moves, gear 461 also moves. Because gear 461 is meshed with the vertically adjacent rack plate 463, the rotation of gear 461 drives the limiting plate 462 to deflect to the right. When gear 461 leaves the limiting plate 462, the limiting plate 462 is exactly at the left and right positions. The lower end of the limiting plate 462 leaves the surface of the battery 9, and the battery 9 loses its upper limiting effect. Then, the locking head 48 is rotated 90 degrees so that the left end of the locking head 48 is vertically distributed. Then, the fixing plate 3 is deflected 90 degrees to the right until the lower end of the fixing plate 3 is in contact with the right end of the placement rack 2. At this time, the fixing plate 3 is distributed left and right, and the front end of the battery 9 is exposed. The battery 9 is removed and replaced with a new battery 9. The buffer pad 8 provides a buffering effect for the battery 9. Then, the fixing plate 3 is deflected back to its original position. The left end is aligned with the right end of the battery 9. The locking head 48 is rotated 90 degrees again, so that the left end of the locking head 48 is laterally positioned, fixing the fixing plate 3 to the placement rack 2. Then, the placement rack 2 is pushed into the cabinet 1. As the placement rack 2 moves, the gear 461 re-engages with the rack plate 463, causing the limiting plate 462 to rotate. When the placement rack 2 is in position, the limiting plate 462 is positioned back-to-back, with its lower end contacting the surface of the battery 9, thus limiting the movement of the battery 9. Then, the handle 4... 52. Rotate forward 90 degrees until handle 452 is in close contact with the surface of limit block 453, so that handle 452 is in a vertical state. Limit plate 41 also rotates 90 degrees. As limit plate 41 rotates, arc groove 42 presses the inner end of insertion post 43, causing insertion post 43 to move outward until the outer end of insertion post 43 is inserted into insertion hole 44. Then rotate handle 452 forward so that handle 452 is just locked into the inside of limit groove 451. This can prevent handle 452 from not rotating into place and accidental contact.

[0024] It is worth noting that the control switch group disclosed in the above embodiments controls the operation of the induced draft fan 2 and the motor 31 using methods commonly used in the prior art. The control switch group 10 is equipped with switch buttons that correspond one-to-one with the motor 21, the motor 71 and the push rod 32 for controlling their switching operation.

[0025] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
