[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the embodiments of this disclosure will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The illustrative implementation methods and descriptions of the embodiments of this disclosure are only used to explain the embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a computer server mounting device according to this application includes a mounting base plate 1, multiple sliding guide rails 2, lateral positioning buckles 3, fastening bolts 4, positioning support blocks 5, and a fixing bracket 6. The mounting base plate 1 supports the server body and achieves stable overall installation through its connection with the rack, thus providing a stable foundation for the server. Multiple sliding guide rails 2 are located on both sides of the mounting base plate 1, guiding the server's sliding in the front-to-back direction to ensure smooth entry and exit from the rack, while also providing auxiliary positioning. The lateral positioning buckles 3 are rotatably mounted on the outer side of the sliding guide rails 2 via hinges. These buckles have a contact end 31 with an inclined surface, forming a wedge-shaped locking structure with the side of the server, providing effective lateral locking when inserting or removing the server. The fastening bolts 4 pass through the sliding guide rails 2 and are threadedly connected to the positioning support blocks 5. Their function is to adjust the position of the positioning support blocks 5 to adjust their support points according to the server dimensions, enhancing the constraint force on the server. The positioning support block 5 is located inside the sliding guide rail 2, directly contacting the side of the server and applying support force to prevent the server from shifting horizontally. The fixing bracket 6 is mounted on the rack, serving as the support structure for the entire fixing device, ensuring that all components can be stably fixed within the rack.

[0022] The lateral positioning buckle 3 is equipped with an adjustment hole 32, which, in conjunction with an adjustment screw, allows for adjustment of the buckle's rotation angle, thereby enabling precise control of the server's lateral position under different operating conditions. Furthermore, the lateral positioning buckle 3 is connected to the sliding guide rail 2 via a rotating shaft 33. This rotating shaft 33 is located in the center of the sliding guide rail 2 and is eccentrically positioned, allowing the buckle to exert a greater clamping force on the server's side during rotation, further improving the server's lateral stability within the rack. This structural design enables automatic positioning and fixation during server insertion and removal, enhancing the ease of operation and post-installation stability. Through the synergistic effect of the sliding guide rail 2 and the positioning support block 5, combined with the wedge-shaped locking of the lateral positioning buckle 3 and the enhanced clamping force provided by the eccentric rotating shaft 33, the technical solution of this application effectively solves the problem of lateral movement or vibration that may occur in the server within the rack, significantly improving the safety and reliability of server operation.

[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the sliding guide rails 2 of the computer server mounting device of this application are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the mounting base plate 1 to ensure smooth sliding of the server during installation and disassembly. The sliding guide rails 2 have multiple grooves inside, which cooperate with the sliders at the bottom of the server to achieve precise guidance. The layout of the grooves helps improve the stability of the sliding and facilitates multi-position fixing of the server. The sliding guide rails 2 and the mounting base plate 1 are connected by fasteners to ensure the overall structural integrity.

[0024] For example, the sliding guide rails 2 can be installed on the left and right sides of the mounting base plate 1 by welding or bolting. The grooves are formed on the top surface of the sliding guide rails 2 and are evenly distributed along the sliding direction to form reliable contact with the sliding components at the bottom of the server. The size and spacing of the grooves can be adjusted according to the server size to meet the installation requirements of different specifications of equipment.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the lateral positioning buckle 3 of a computer server fixing device of this application is hinged to the upper surface of the sliding guide rail 2 via a rotating shaft 33, and there is a certain offset between the rotating shaft 33 and the central axis of the sliding guide rail 2. This structural design allows the lateral positioning buckle 3 to be in an inclined state during installation, thereby applying an oblique clamping force to the server. The lateral positioning buckle 3 is in a stationary position when not subjected to external force. When the server is inserted into the preset position, the buckle rotates under its own weight or manual adjustment, and the inclined surface of its contact end 31 forms a wedge-shaped lock with the side of the server, improving positioning stability. At the same time, the eccentric arrangement of the rotating shaft 33 can enhance the lateral clamping effect of the buckle on the server.

[0026] Specifically, the lateral positioning buckle 3 is assembled and connected to the rotating shaft 33 through a shaft hole opened on the buckle base. The rotating shaft 33 passes through the side wall of the sliding guide rail 2 and is arranged asymmetrically with the sliding guide rail 2. Specifically, the sliding guide rail 2 is set on both sides of the mounting base plate 1. One end of the buckle is mounted on the upper surface of the sliding guide rail 2 through the rotating shaft 33, and the center line of the rotating shaft 33 is offset laterally relative to the longitudinal center line of the sliding guide rail 2, so that the buckle forms a certain tilt angle after installation, thereby realizing the lateral clamping of the server.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the adjustment hole 32 of the computer server mounting device of this application is an elongated hole that extends along the length of the sliding guide rail 2 to accommodate the sides of servers of different sizes. This design allows the positioning support block 5 to move laterally within the range of the sliding guide rail 2, thereby adapting to server enclosures of different thicknesses. The adjustment hole 32 is located on the lateral positioning buckle 3 and cooperates with the fastening bolt 4. By adjusting the locking position of the fastening bolt 4, the specific installation position of the positioning support block 5 on the sliding guide rail 2 can be controlled. This structure effectively improves the compatibility of the device with servers of various specifications while ensuring support stability. The choice of an elongated hole shape for the adjustment hole 32 facilitates flexible adjustment within a certain range without affecting the overall structural strength.

[0028] Specifically, the lateral positioning buckle 3 is connected to the sliding guide rail 2 via a rotating shaft 33. An adjustment hole 32 is formed on the buckle body and passes through the installation position of the sliding guide rail 2. A fastening bolt 4 passes through the adjustment hole 32 and is screwed into a pre-drilled hole in the sliding guide rail 2, forming an adjustable connection. During adjustment, the operator loosens the fastening bolt 4, which moves the buckle along the adjustment hole 32, adjusting its position relative to the sliding guide rail 2, thereby changing the contact point of the positioning support block 5, ultimately achieving adaptable fixing for servers of different sizes.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the contact end 31 of a computer server fixing device of this application has an inclined surface. This inclined surface is disposed at the end of the lateral positioning buckle 3 for engaging with the side of the server to achieve a wedge-shaped locking structure, thereby enhancing the fixing stability. The inclined surface is made of wear-resistant material to adapt to the wear caused by frequent sliding and positioning operations. At the same time, the surface is provided with anti-slip protrusions 311 to increase the friction by increasing the roughness of the contact surface, preventing the server from shifting during installation or use.

[0030] Specifically, the inclined surface of the contact end 31 is made by casting or spray molding, and the surface is formed with multiple micro anti-slip protrusions 311 by laser etching or electroplating. These protrusions are evenly distributed on the inclined surface and located near the edge of the contact end 31 to ensure sufficient gripping force when in contact with the side of the server, without affecting the normal rotation and adjustment function of the buckle.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the positioning support block 5 of the computer server fixing device of this application has a U-shaped structure, and its inner edge is provided with an elastic buffer pad 51 to reduce wear on the side of the server. The bottom of the positioning support block 5 is provided with a limiting protrusion 52. When the server slides into place, the limiting protrusion 52 abuts against the sliding guide rail 2 to prevent excessive slippage. The positioning support block 5 is installed on the inner side of the sliding guide rail 2 to contact the side of the server and provide support. Its structural design can effectively distribute the weight of the server, and the position is limited by the limiting protrusion 52 to ensure accurate positioning of the server during sliding. The setting of the elastic buffer pad 51 enhances the stability and safety of the device during operation.

[0032] Specifically, the positioning support block 5 adopts a U-shaped groove structure, and is made entirely of metal or high-strength plastic. An elastic rubber or silicone layer is embedded on the inner side, covering the entire inner edge to ensure a cushioning effect with the server contact surface. The bottom limiting protrusion 52 can be a raised structure that directly contacts the surface of the sliding guide rail 2. When the server moves to its final position, the limiting protrusion 52 is restricted by the sliding guide rail 2, thereby preventing the server from moving further forward and achieving the positioning function.

[0033] In one embodiment, the fastening bolt 4 of a computer server mounting device of this application is equipped with a handle 41 for manually rotating to adjust the position of the positioning support block 5. The handle 41 is mounted on one end of the fastening bolt 4, allowing the operator to directly grasp and rotate the fastening bolt 4, thereby moving the positioning support block 5 along the sliding guide rail 2. The positioning support block 5 is located on the inner side of the sliding guide rail 2 and contacts the side of the server to provide support. The position of the positioning support block 5 is adjusted by rotating the fastening bolt 4, thus adapting to the installation requirements of servers of different sizes or positions. The fastening bolt 4 passes through the sliding guide rail 2 and is threadedly connected to the positioning support block 5, ensuring a stable and reliable adjustment process.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, one end of the fastening bolt 4 extends beyond the outer side of the mounting base plate 1 and is fixedly connected to the handle 41 by welding or screwing. The handle 41 has a long strip structure, which facilitates the operator to apply force to rotate it. When the fastening bolt 4 rotates, the threaded engagement between it and the positioning support block 5 pushes the positioning support block 5 to move along the sliding guide rail 2, so that the positioning support block 5 can be adjusted back and forth as needed, thereby achieving accurate positioning and fixation of the server.

[0035] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 6 of the computer server mounting device of this application has an inverted L-shaped structure, with its bottom threadedly connected to the rack and its top fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1. The mounting bracket 6 is securely installed on the rack via the threaded connection at the bottom, ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The top of the bracket is fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 1, firmly supporting the mounting base plate 1 within the rack and forming a stable load-bearing platform. This structural design effectively distributes the weight of the server, improving the overall load-bearing capacity and stability of the device.

[0036] Specifically, the fixed bracket 6 is made of metal material by integral stamping. The bottom is provided with threaded holes that match the frame and is tightly fixed to the frame by screws. The top is provided with a connecting surface that mates with the mounting base plate 1 and is fixed by welding or screws, so that a rigid connection is formed between the mounting base plate 1 and the fixed bracket 6.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the lateral positioning latch 3 of a computer server fixing device of this application further includes a return spring 34. One end of the spring is connected to the back of the latch, and the other end is fixed to the sliding guide rail 2. The function of the return spring 34 is to automatically return the lateral positioning latch 3 to its initial position after the external force is released, ensuring that the latch can stably reset during the removal or insertion of the server. The spring is disposed between the latch and the sliding guide rail 2 and is fixed to the sliding guide rail 2 by fasteners or fixing holes to ensure its stability and reliability. The setting of the return spring 34 effectively improves the convenience of device operation and avoids installation deviations caused by the latch not resetting.

[0038] Specifically, the return spring 34 is installed in the fixing hole on the back of the lateral positioning buckle 3 and connected to the sliding guide rail 2 by screws or riveting. The other end of the spring is embedded in the fixing groove on the sliding guide rail 2 or fixed by a snap-fit ​​structure. This installation method allows the spring to undergo elastic deformation when the buckle is subjected to force, and return to its original shape after the external force is removed, thereby driving the buckle back to its initial position. This connection method ensures stable support of the spring without affecting the rotation and adjustment functions of the buckle.

[0039] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the rotating shaft 33 of a computer server mounting device of this application is equipped with a bearing 331 to reduce frictional resistance during buckle rotation and extend service life. The bearing 331 ensures smooth buckle movement during rotation, reducing wear caused by friction. The bearing 331 is positioned between the rotating shaft 33 and the sliding guide rail 2, engaging with the rotating shaft 33 through a shaft hole to ensure stable rotation and prevent component loosening or displacement due to mechanical vibration. This structural design effectively improves the long-term stability of the device and reduces maintenance frequency.

[0040] Specifically, one end of the rotating shaft 33 is inserted into the inner hole of the sliding guide rail 2, and the bearing 331 is sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 33, forming a sliding contact with the inner wall of the sliding guide rail 2, thereby realizing the rotational movement of the rotating shaft 33. The outer side of the bearing 331 is fixed to the sliding guide rail 2 by a locking member to prevent the bearing 331 from falling off or shifting, and to ensure the stability of the rotating shaft 33 during operation.

[0041] In actual operation, when this device is used, the server body is placed on the mounting base plate 1 and slid along the sliding guide rail 2 in the front and back directions. Then, by adjusting the fastening bolts 4, the positioning support block 5 is brought close to the side of the server and contacts the support. At the same time, the lateral positioning buckle 3 is connected to the sliding guide rail 2 through the rotating shaft 33, and the rotation angle of the buckle is adjusted by using the adjusting hole 32 in conjunction with the adjusting screw, so that its inclined surface forms a wedge-shaped locking structure with the side of the server, thereby achieving lateral positioning and clamping of the server and ensuring the stable fixation of the server in the rack. The fixing bracket 6 plays an overall supporting role, so that the entire fixing device can be firmly installed on the rack.

[0042] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of the embodiments of this disclosure. It should be understood that the above descriptions are merely specific embodiments of the embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this disclosure.
