[0007] The detachable part is used to cooperate with the main frame to form a closed box. The detachable part includes at least a top cover plate, and the top cover plate has guide wings extending downward on both sides.

[0008] The guide side wings and the two sides of the main frame are equipped with sliding guide rail assemblies to achieve longitudinal sliding connection, and the two sides of the main frame are provided with buckle mechanisms for buckling connection with the top cover plate.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the latching mechanism includes:

[0010] The fastening plate is attached to the outer walls of both sides of the main frame and rotatably connected to them. The fastening plate has a fastening part integrally formed on the inner side.

[0011] A limiting notch is provided at the position of the corresponding fastening part on the guide wing, and the end of the fastening part is engaged within the limiting notch; and

[0012] A movable plate, integrally perpendicular to the outer side of the fastening plate, is used to control its rotational displacement, thereby causing the fastening part to disengage from the limiting notch.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the sliding guide assembly includes;

[0014] A longitudinal guide groove, wherein the longitudinal guide groove is disposed on the outer side of the guide wing and extends along the direction of the housing; and

[0015] The guide rail protrusions are located on the inner walls of both sides of the main frame and form a sliding pair with the longitudinal guide rail groove.

[0016] In one possible implementation, two sets of longitudinal guide rail grooves and guide rail protrusions are symmetrically arranged on each side of the housing, and the limiting notch is located between the two longitudinal guide rail grooves.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the detachable part further includes a tail baffle integrally formed with the top cover plate, the tail end of the mounting cavity is provided with a cooling fan assembly, and the tail baffle is provided with a corresponding air guide grid structure.

[0018] In summary, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a quick-opening mechanism that combines a sliding guide rail assembly with a snap-fit ​​mechanism between the main frame and the detachable part, the top cover can be easily detached from the main frame through sliding displacement, thereby exposing the functional modules inside the chassis and facilitating internal maintenance.

[0027] To address the problems in the background technology, this utility model proposes a PTP network time server chassis that is easy to maintain, comprising a housing 1 and functional modules 2 disposed within the housing 1. The housing 1 includes:

[0028] The main frame 11 has an installation cavity 111 formed therein for accommodating the functional module 2;

[0029] The detachable part 12 is used to cooperate with the main frame 11 to form a closed box. The detachable part 12 includes at least a top cover plate 121. The top cover plate 121 has guide wings 123 extending downward on both sides.

[0030] The guide side wing 123 and the main frame 11 have sliding guide rail assemblies 3 on both sides to achieve longitudinal sliding connection, and the main frame 11 is provided with a buckling mechanism 4 on both sides for buckling connection with the top cover plate 121.

[0031] Combined with reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the server chassis consists of a housing 1 and internal functional modules 2. The functional modules 2 include a main control unit, a high-precision clock source, a power supply, and a network interface. To facilitate subsequent inspection and maintenance of the functional modules 2, the housing 1 is composed of a main frame 11 and a detachable part 12, forming a closed enclosure. The main frame 11 includes a bottom base plate, side panels vertically connected to both sides, and a front panel, all constructed of high-strength aluminum alloy profiles. Its interior forms a regular mounting cavity 111 capable of accommodating the aforementioned functional modules 2. Each functional module 2 is fixed to the mounting base plate within the cavity via a standardized interface using a plug-in method. The detachable part 12 in this embodiment includes a top cover plate 121 slidably connected to the main frame 11 and a rear panel. The top cover plate 121 has guide wings 123 with a specific tilt angle processed by precision stamping on both sides. Furthermore, a sliding guide rail assembly 3 is provided between the guide side wings 123 of the top cover plate 121 and the two sides of the main frame 11. This design allows the detachable part 12 to achieve a longitudinal sliding connection. Through the sliding guide rail assembly 3, the user can easily slide the top cover plate 121 and the rear panel open or close, facilitating disassembly and installation, thereby exposing the functional modules 2 inside the main frame 11 and effectively improving the efficiency of maintenance operations. To ensure a stable and reliable connection between the top cover plate 121 and the main frame 11, a latching mechanism 4 is provided on both sides of the main frame 11. These latching mechanisms 4 can tightly lock the top cover plate after it is installed, preventing it from accidentally falling off.

[0032] Specifically, when maintenance is required, technicians only need to release the locking state of the two side latching mechanisms 4, and then pull the detachable part 12 consisting of the top cover plate 121 and the rear panel along the guide rail. At this time, the wiring terminals, heat dissipation devices and status indicator lights of each functional module 2 in the mounting cavity 111 are fully exposed to the maintenance field of vision. Compared with the traditional bolt fixing method, this sliding opening structure reduces the time to open the chassis from the usual 5 minutes to less than 10 seconds, and the entire operation can be completed without the aid of any tools, which significantly reduces the complexity of maintenance work.

[0033] In one possible implementation, the latching mechanism 4 includes:

[0034] The fastening plate 41 is attached to the outer walls of both sides of the main frame 11 and rotatably connected thereto. The fastening plate 41 has a fastening part 411 integrally formed on the inner side.

[0035] A limiting notch 42 is provided at the position of the guide wing 123 corresponding to the fastening part 411, and the end of the fastening part 411 is engaged with the limiting notch 42; and

[0036] The movable plate 43 is integrally perpendicular to the outer side of the fastening plate 41 and is used to control its rotational displacement, thereby causing the fastening part 411 to disengage from the limiting notch 42.

[0037] Combined with reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, both front ends of the main frame 11 are provided with a snap-fit ​​mechanism 4. The snap-fit ​​plate 41 is the core component of the snap-fit ​​mechanism 4, which is attached to the outer wall of the main frame 11 and is rotatably connected to the frame through spring hinges or other means. This rotatable connection design allows the snap-fit ​​plate 41 to rotate around its connection point, thereby achieving flexible movement. The snap-fit ​​part 411 is integrally formed on the inner side of the snap-fit ​​plate 41. The limiting notch 42 is located on the guide side wing 123 and is opposite to the snap-fit ​​part 411. After the top cover plate 121 is slidably installed in place, the end of the snap-fit ​​part 411 can be precisely engaged in the limiting notch 42 to prevent the cover plate from loosening or accidentally falling off. The movable plate 43 is vertically connected to one side of the snap-fit ​​plate 41 and plays the role of controlling the rotation of the snap-fit ​​plate 41. The operator can adjust the movement of the snap-fit ​​part 411 by rotating the movable plate 43. Specifically, when it is necessary to remove the top cover 121, the user can release the top cover 121 by operating the movable plate 43, which will cause the fastening part 411 to disengage from the limiting notch 42.

[0038] In one possible implementation, the sliding guide rail assembly 3 includes;

[0039] A longitudinal guide groove 31 is provided on the outer side of the guide wing 123 and extends along the direction of the housing 1; and

[0040] The guide rail protrusion 32 is disposed on the inner wall of both sides of the main frame 11 and forms a sliding pair with the longitudinal guide rail groove 31.

[0041] Combined with reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the longitudinal guide rail groove 31 is located on the outside of the guide side wing 123 and extends along the direction of the housing 1. The guide rail protrusion 32 is located on the inner wall of both sides of the main frame 11 and cooperates with the longitudinal guide rail groove 31 to form a sliding pair.

[0042] In one possible implementation, two sets of longitudinal guide rail grooves 31 and guide rail protrusions 32 are symmetrically arranged on each side of the housing 1, and the limiting notch 42 is located between the two longitudinal guide rail grooves 31. Specifically, two sets of longitudinal guide rail grooves 31 and guide rail protrusions 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1, that is, a pair of longitudinal guide rail grooves 31 and guide rail protrusions 32 are arranged on the left and right sides of the housing 1 respectively. This symmetrical design helps to ensure that the component can move evenly on both sides. Each set of longitudinal guide rail grooves 31 and guide rail protrusions 32 together constitutes a sliding pair, enabling the component that cooperates with it to slide smoothly and stably on these tracks.

[0043] In one possible implementation, the detachable portion 12 further includes a tail baffle 122 integrally formed with the top cover 121. A cooling fan assembly 5 is provided at the tail end of the mounting cavity 111, and the tail baffle 122 is correspondingly provided with an air guide grid structure 6. The tail baffle 122 is integrally formed with the top cover 121 and has the air guide grid structure 6, forming an efficient heat dissipation airflow with the cooling fan assembly 5 at the tail end of the mounting cavity 111, ensuring the stability of the equipment during long-term operation.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any non-substantial changes and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
