Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically to a flip-locking mechanism for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] Existing server racks typically have their doors positioned at the front, requiring the front space to be flipped open for server placement. However, in practice, this front space cannot be utilized for door opening. Therefore, when sufficient server height is available, the rack doors are often positioned above the rack for maintenance and server placement. However, current racks use hinges or pivots at the top to directly connect the doors, requiring space behind them to open. This can interfere with walls or taller equipment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a flip-lock mechanism that allows the rack doors to open without occupying rear space, ensuring that the server rack requires no additional front or rear space when the doors are open. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a flip-lock mechanism for server racks, which ensures that the rack doors do not occupy the space in front of or behind the rack when opened, allowing for a more rational rack layout.

[0004] A flip-locking mechanism for a server rack, characterized in that it comprises:

[0005] A vertical cabinet, in which the height of the front panel is lower than the rear panel, and it also includes the side panels;

[0006] The upper cabinet door panel includes a rear flat panel and a front inclined panel;

[0007] and at least one locking mechanism, each locking mechanism including a locking hook and a drive latch;

[0008] The rear upright plate also includes a front protruding plate, which is perpendicular to the rear upright plate and protrudes forward. The front protruding plate is provided with two sets of flip hinges along its length. One end of each set of flip hinges is fixed to the front protruding plate, and the other end of each set of flip hinges is fixed to the corresponding position of the rear flat plate of the upper cabinet door. The rear flat plate and the front inclined plate cover the upper notch of the vertical cabinet when locked. The top rear end of the side upright plate is provided with a supporting straight edge corresponding to the position of the front protruding plate and the rear flat plate. The front part of the side upright plate is provided with a supporting inclined edge that is similar to the front inclined plate in the locked state.

[0009] The front inclined plate is provided with a downward protruding locking hook at its front end, and the front upright plate is provided with a drive lock buckle at the position corresponding to the locking hook. The drive lock buckle is driven by external force to lock or unlock the locking hook.

[0010] Its further features are:

[0011] The locking mechanism includes two sets, which are respectively located on both sides of the front upright plate of the vertical cabinet in the width direction. The two sets of locking mechanisms ensure that the cabinet door will not be opened or closed due to accidental operation.

[0012] The central area of ​​the front inclined plate is provided with an inspection hole, and the inspection hole area is fixed with a transparent cover plate, which ensures that the inspection personnel can inspect the inside of the cabinet without opening the cabinet door.

[0013] The front convex plate has several sets of waist-shaped heat dissipation holes along its length to ensure heat dissipation and ventilation of the cabinet.

[0014] With the structure of this utility model, the door panel of the vertical cabinet is the upper cabinet door panel. The rear vertical panel has a 10-15cm forward protrusion space for setting the forward protrusion plate. The forward protrusion space of the forward protrusion plate is used to install the hinge structure and facilitates a certain tilting positioning space after the upper cabinet door panel is flipped open. This ensures that the cabinet door panel does not occupy the front and rear space of the cabinet when it is opened. Furthermore, since the upper cabinet door panel includes a front inclined plate, the upper notch used to close the cabinet is sloped, making the front vertical panel relatively low, which facilitates the assembly of servers and other equipment, and thus allows the cabinet to be arranged more reasonably.
