Description

A server case cover with a locking mechanism Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server chassis technology, and specifically to a server chassis cover with a locking mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A server chassis is an outer shell used to store and securely protect the hardware components of a server. To protect various server interfaces and facilitate maintenance, server chassis covers are typically removable, usually secured with screws. However, this method is unsuitable for portable servers used outdoors. Portable servers, due to frequent movement or unpredictable operating environments, require protection for various interfaces, such as network and external power interfaces, which are only exposed during use. Using the aforementioned method would require tools to loosen the screws to remove the cover during use and to loosen the screws to reinstall it when protection is needed, making the process cumbersome and unsuitable for portable servers where frequent opening and closing of the cover is required. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a server case cover with a locking mechanism. It has a mounting groove on the case door for movably mounting a sliding block connected to the locking component. By driving the sliding block to move in the mounting groove through the operation component or the elastic reset component, the locking component can be disengaged from or inserted into the lock, so as to facilitate the opening or closing of the case door. It is convenient, simple to use, easy to install, and has a stable structure.

[0004] This utility model provides a server enclosure cover with a locking mechanism to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. It includes an enclosure door hinged to the enclosure body at one end. The inner wall of the other end of the enclosure door has at least one mounting groove and a cover plate detachably attached to the opening side of the mounting groove via a connector. The enclosure door also has a sliding hole communicating with the interior of the mounting groove. A sliding block is movably disposed within the mounting groove. The sliding block has an operating component that slides with the sliding hole and extends to the outside of the enclosure door. A locking component is also provided on the sliding block, extending through a guide notch on the side wall of the mounting groove to the outside of the enclosure door. The enclosure body has a lock opening that cooperates with the locking component. An elastic reset component is provided on the side of the sliding block away from the locking component, with the other end of the elastic reset component abutting against the side wall of the mounting groove. The sliding block also has a first limiting component, and the mounting groove has a second limiting component. The first limiting component is located between the second limiting component and the side wall of the mounting groove away from the guide notch.

[0005] Furthermore, the first limiting member includes two sets of limiting protrusions disposed on the two side walls of the sliding block and extending in opposite directions, and the second limiting member includes two sets of lugs disposed on the two side walls of the mounting groove and extending in opposite directions.

[0006] Furthermore, the mounting groove on the side away from the guide notch is also provided with a stop block extending in the direction of the guide notch.

[0007] Furthermore, both the lug and the abutment are provided with a first connecting hole, and the cover plate is provided with a second connecting hole corresponding to the first connecting hole. The connector passes through the second connecting hole and is fixed to the first connecting hole.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting groove is provided with a receiving groove corresponding to the elastic reset member on the side away from the guide notch. One end of the elastic reset member is fixed to the limiting protrusion, and the other end extends into the receiving groove and abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the peripheral wall of the mounting groove is provided with a settling groove for accommodating the cover plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the sliding block has a guide ridge on the side near the cover plate, and the cover plate has a guide groove that mates with the guide ridge.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking element includes two locking blocks symmetrically disposed on the sliding block, and the locking blocks have a guide arc surface on the side near the housing.

[0012] Furthermore, the operating component includes a guide ring and a pressing block protruding from the guide ring, and the two side walls of the guide ring are slidably engaged with the two side walls of the sliding hole.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: One end of the door is hinged to the box body, ensuring the door remains connected and can rotate relative to the box body, thus facilitating opening and closing. A mounting groove on the inner wall of the other end of the door is used to install components such as sliding blocks and locking devices. A cover plate confines the sliding blocks and locking devices within the mounting groove. Opening the cover plate allows operation of the components within the mounting groove, facilitating the installation of sliding blocks, elastic reset devices, etc. A sliding hole on the door guides the operating component, allowing it to slide in a defined direction, and also allows the operating component to extend to the outside of the door for easy operation, thereby moving the sliding block within the mounting groove. A guide notch guides the locking device and allows it to move along a designated trajectory, ensuring it engages with the lock. The elastic reset device allows the sliding block to reset after the operator releases the operating component, causing the locking device to extend from the guide notch. It also allows the locking device to retract into the mounting groove under external pressure. The first limiting member on the sliding block and the second limiting member on the mounting groove cooperate to limit the maximum displacement distance of the sliding block in the direction of the guide notch. The second limiting member also distributes some of the pressure exerted on the sliding block in the direction of the notch by the elastic reset member, reducing the risk of sidewall fracture of the mounting groove on the side of the clearance notch, improving structural stability, and extending service life. In summary, this utility model is convenient to install, allows for quick opening or closing of the door, is easy to use, and has a stable structure.

[0014] During installation, simply remove the cover plate and place the sliding block in the mounting groove, positioning the first limiting member between the second limiting member and the side wall of the mounting groove away from the guide notch. Place the locking member in the guide notch, insert the operating member into the sliding hole, and have the end of the elastic reset member away from the slider abut against the side wall of the mounting groove away from the guide notch. Then, fix the cover plate to the opening side of the mounting groove using the connector to complete the installation of the mechanism. This structure is simple, easy to assemble, and has a stable structure and long service life after assembly.

[0015] In use, when the sliding block is moved away from the lock opening by the operating component, the locking element on the sliding block slides into the mounting groove through the guide notch, thereby disengaging the locking element from the lock opening. At this time, the door can be rotated relative to the cabinet to open the door. When the door needs to be closed, the door is rotated relative to the chassis. When the locking element rotates to contact the chassis, the chassis squeezes the locking element, causing the locking element to retract into the mounting groove. The elastic reset element is compressed. When the locking element rotates to align with the lock opening, the elastic reset element releases its elastic potential energy, causing the locking element to insert into the lock magazine, thus fixing the door to the chassis.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0023] Referring to Figures 1 to 1, this utility model provides an embodiment of a server case cover with a locking mechanism.

[0024] A server enclosure cover with a locking mechanism includes a door 2 that is hinged to a enclosure 1 at one end, so that the door 2 is always connected to the enclosure 1 and can rotate relative to the enclosure 1, thereby facilitating the opening or closing of the door 2.

[0025] At least one mounting groove 21 and a cover plate 3, detachably mounted on the opening side of the mounting groove 21 via a connector, are provided on the inner wall of the other end of the door 2. The mounting groove 21 is used to install components such as the sliding block 4 and the locking element 42, while the cover plate 3 is used to confine the sliding block 4 and the locking element 42 inside the mounting groove 21. At this time, opening the cover plate 3 allows operation of the components inside the mounting groove 21, facilitating the installation of components such as the sliding block 4 and the elastic reset element 5. Furthermore, the peripheral wall of the mounting groove 21 is provided with a settling groove 27 for accommodating the cover plate 3, so that the cover plate 3 can be flush with the door 2 after installation, preventing wear between it and other components.

[0026] The door 2 is also provided with a sliding hole 22 that communicates with the interior of the mounting groove 21. A sliding block 4 is movably provided in the mounting groove 21. The sliding block 4 is provided with an operating member 41 that slides with the sliding hole 22 and extends to the outside of the door 2. Preferably, the operating member 41 and the sliding block 4 are integrally formed. The sliding hole 22 is used to guide the operating member 41 so that it slides along a defined direction, and also to make way for the operating member 41 so that it can extend to the outside of the door 2 for easy operation by the operator, thereby driving the sliding block 4 to move in the mounting groove 21. Furthermore, the operating element 41 includes a guide ring 411 and a pressing block 412 protruding from the guide ring 411. The two side walls of the guide ring 411 are slidably engaged with the two side walls of the sliding hole 22. The pressing block 412 facilitates the sliding of the sliding block 4. The engagement of the guide ring 411 with the sliding hole 22 can limit the reset distance of the locking element 42 and also limit the inward retraction distance of the locking element 42, further improving the stability of the structure. Furthermore, the sliding block 4 has a guide ridge 44 on the side near the cover plate 3. The cover plate 3 has a guide groove that engages with the guide ridge 44. This method can further guide the sliding block 4 and improve its stability.

[0027] The sliding block 4 is also provided with a locking element 42. Preferably, the locking element 42 is integrally formed with the sliding block 4, and the locking element 42 extends to the outside of the door 2 through the guide notch 211 on the side wall of the mounting groove 21. Further, the locking element 42 includes two locking blocks 421 symmetrically arranged on the sliding block 4. The locking block 421 has a guide arc surface 422 on the side near the box body 1. At this time, the door 2 can be locked by the two locking blocks 421, improving the stability of the door 2 after it is closed; and the setting of the guide arc surface 422 allows the locking block 421 to be guided to retract into the mounting groove 21 when it contacts the box body 1.

[0028] The housing 1 is provided with a locking slot that cooperates with the locking member 42. The guide notch 211 is used to guide the locking member 42 and to allow the locking member 42 to move along a specified trajectory, so as to ensure that it can cooperate with the locking slot.

[0029] An elastic reset member 5 is provided on the side of the sliding block 4 away from the locking member 42. The other end of the elastic reset member 5 abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 21. The elastic reset member 5 allows the sliding block 4 to reset after the operator releases the operating member 41, thereby causing the locking member 42 to extend out of the guide notch 211. It also allows the locking member 42 to retract into the mounting groove 21 when subjected to external pressure. The reset elastic member 5 can be sleeved on the telescopic rod to improve structural stability. One end of the telescopic rod is fixed to the sliding block, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the mounting groove 21. The elastic reset member 5 can be a spring, and two sets are symmetrically arranged to ensure that the reset force of the locking member 42 is uniform. Furthermore, the mounting groove 21 is provided with a receiving groove 26 corresponding to the elastic reset member 5 on the side away from the guide notch 211. There are two sets of receiving grooves 26 located on both sides of the mounting groove 21. One end of the elastic reset member 5 is fixed to the first limiting member 43, and the other end extends into the receiving groove 26 and abuts against the side wall of the receiving groove 26. Of course, the elastic reset member 5 can also be fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 26 at this time. By setting the receiving groove 26, the elastic deformation space of the elastic reset member 5 is increased, thereby providing greater buffering and restoring force.

[0030] The sliding block 4 is also provided with a first limiting member 43. Preferably, the first limiting member 43 is integrally formed with the sliding block 4. The mounting groove 21 is provided with a second limiting member 23. Preferably, the second limiting member 23 is integrally formed with the inner sidewall of the mounting groove 21. The first limiting member 43 is located between the second limiting member 23 and the sidewall of the mounting groove 21 away from the guide notch 211. The first limiting member 43 and the second limiting member 23 cooperate to limit the maximum displacement distance of the sliding block 4 in the direction of the guide notch 211. The second limiting member 23 can also share some of the pressure applied to the sliding block 4 in the direction of the notch under the action of the elastic reset member 5, reducing the risk of the sidewall of the mounting groove 21 located on the side of the clearance notch, improving the stability of the structure, and increasing the service life.

[0031] Furthermore, the first limiting member 43 includes two sets of limiting protrusions located on the two side walls of the sliding block 4 and extending in opposite directions. At this time, one end of each set of elastic reset members 5 is fixed to the limiting protrusions. The second limiting member 23 includes two sets of lugs located on the two side walls of the mounting groove 21 and extending towards each other. At this time, one limiting protrusion corresponds to one lug, which can disperse the pressure of the sliding block 4 under the reset action of the elastic reset members 5, further improving the sliding stability of the sliding block 4. Furthermore, the mounting groove 21 is also provided with a stop block 24 extending towards the guide notch 211 on the side away from the guide notch 211. The stop block 24 is used to limit the maximum distance of the locking member 42 retracting into the mounting groove 21, so as to provide feedback to the operator so that the operator can judge whether the locking member 42 has disengaged from the lock.

[0032] Furthermore, both the lug and the abutment 24 are provided with a first connecting hole 25, and the cover plate 3 is provided with a second connecting hole 31 corresponding to the first connecting hole 25. The connector passes through the second connecting hole 31 and is fixed to the first connecting hole 25. In this way, the lug can be used to limit the positioning protrusion and also serve as a connection support with the cover plate 3, making the structure simpler. In addition, there are three first connecting holes 25 distributed along the three sides of the mounting groove 21, which also facilitates the stable installation of the cover plate 3.
