Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically to a server rack cable anti-tangling and organizing structure. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, the efficient operation of data centers is crucial. Server racks, as the core equipment carriers, are essential for efficient space utilization and heat dissipation. Cable routing and management ensure smooth data transmission; messy cables can easily lead to malfunctions and make maintenance difficult. Precise and standardized cable routing and orderly cable management are key to ensuring the stable operation of a data center.

[0003] Utility model patent CN219980312U discloses a cable management rack, which includes a fixed plate, installed in a desktop or cabinet; a cable management rack detachably mounted on the fixed plate; and a connecting assembly connecting the fixed plate and the cable management rack. The cable management rack has a cavity in the middle for accommodating cables, and several cable management grooves are evenly distributed along the length of the cable management rack. Each cable management groove has a detachable rubber stopper. Cables can be gathered in the cable management rack through the grooves, and then the connecting assembly fixes the cable management rack to the fixed plate, achieving the purpose of organizing cables. The rubber stoppers prevent cables from moving within the grooves and also conceal the interior of the cable management rack, making the overall appearance more aesthetically pleasing.

[0004] While this cable management rack offers convenient cable management, it suffers from several drawbacks in practical use. Specifically, the design employs a sliding rod inserted into a connecting groove to prevent cables from detaching. However, during the crucial step of installing the fixing plate, it must be precisely aligned with the connecting groove from one end of the cable management rack. This requires sufficient space around the cable management rack, hindering its implementation in confined spaces. The limited operational space in such environments prevents this design from meeting the cable management needs of these scenarios, resulting in significant limitations. Therefore, we propose a server rack cable tangle prevention and organization structure. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model aims to at least partially solve one of the technical problems in related technologies. Therefore, one objective of this utility model is to propose a cable management structure for server racks that prevents cable tangling. This structure allows for direct installation from the front of the rack, reducing the constraints of the compact space within the server rack and ensuring convenient and quick installation, thereby improving the efficiency of cable management.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The server rack cable management structure includes a mounting plate for connecting to the server rack. The top of the mounting plate has multiple first-row cable slots. The front face of the mounting plate has mounting bases fixed at both ends. Each mounting base has two symmetrical mounting slots, and a guide rod is fixed between the two slots. Springs are fitted at both ends of the guide rod. Slider blocks are slidably installed within each mounting slot, and each slider has a sliding hole that connects to the guide rod. Clips are fixed to the two opposite ends of each slider, and these clips pass through the outer wall of the mounting base.

[0008] The front end of the mounting plate is fixed between two fixed seats and the frame is fixed there. The front end of the frame has multiple second row cable slots.

[0009] The front side of the frame is equipped with a limiting component, which includes a limiting plate that abuts against the front end of the frame. A baffle is fixed to the top of the limiting plate, and the bottom of the baffle abuts against the top of the mounting plate. Connecting plates are fixed at the four corners of the rear end face of the limiting plate. The connecting plates have slots. The fixing seat is located between two adjacent connecting plates, and the locking head engages with the slot.

[0010] In addition, the server rack cable anti-tangling structure proposed in the application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0011] Specifically, each of the two opposite ends of the two fixed seats has two positioning heads fixed, and the left and right ends of the limiting plate are tightly welded with side plates, and the side plates have two positioning grooves that are inserted and matched with the positioning heads.

[0012] Specifically, the baffle and connecting plate are both perpendicular to the limiting plate, and the baffle, connecting plate and limiting plate are integrally bent and formed.

[0013] Specifically, the frame has a U-shaped cross-section, and the fixing base is tightly welded to the mounting plate.

[0014] Specifically, the first and second cable trays are linearly and equally spaced, and the first cable tray and the corresponding second cable tray are located on the same vertical plane.

[0015] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing seat is H-shaped, and the size of the fixing seat is adapted to the size between two adjacent connecting plates.

[0016] Specifically, mounting holes are provided at all four corners of the mounting plate, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting holes is circular.

[0017] Specifically, the slider and the clamp are integrally formed, and the size of the slider is adapted to the size of the mounting groove.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. The design incorporates mounting plates, mounting bases, slots, a frame, and limiting components. Firstly, the first and second cable trays facilitate the guidance and restraint of cables entering the server rack, preventing tangling and achieving efficient cable management. Secondly, the limiting plates are installed directly from the front of the frame, with the clips engaging in the slots to secure them. The limiting plates and baffles prevent cables from slipping out of the first and second cable trays. This design allows for direct installation from the front of the frame, minimizing the constraints of the server rack's compact space and ensuring convenient and quick installation, thus improving cable management efficiency.

[0020] 2. With a horizontally arranged first row of cable trays and a vertically arranged second row of cable trays, cables can easily be bent directly after exiting the first row and smoothly enter the second row. This design allows cables to bend directly upon connection to the server rack and quickly connect to the internal equipment, perfectly meeting the wiring requirements of the server rack. Furthermore, the bent cables are effectively constrained by the second row of cable trays and baffles, ensuring a clear and organized cable layout and greatly improving the overall aesthetics, providing an efficient and high-quality solution for server rack cabling.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] This embodiment provides a technical solution:

[0033] Please see Figures 1-6 As shown, the server rack cable anti-tangling structure includes a mounting plate 1 for connecting to the server rack. The top of the mounting plate 1 has multiple first cable trays 10. The front end of the mounting plate 1 has mounting seats 12 fixed at both ends. Each mounting seat 12 has two symmetrical mounting slots 120. A guide rod 15 is fixed between the two mounting slots 120, and springs 16 are fitted at both ends of the guide rod 15. Slider blocks 13 are slidably installed within each mounting slot 120, and each slider 13 has a sliding hole 130 that slidably connects to the guide rod 15. A locking head 14 is fixed to each of the two opposing ends of the two sliders 13. The clip 14 passes through the outer wall of the fixing seat 12; the front end face of the mounting plate 1 is fixed between the two fixing seats 12 and the frame 2 is fixed therewith. The front end face of the frame 2 is provided with a plurality of second row cable grooves 20; the front side of the frame 2 is provided with a limiting component 3, which includes a limiting plate 30 that abuts against the front end of the frame 2. A baffle 33 is fixed to the top of the limiting plate 30 and the bottom of the baffle 33 abuts against the top of the mounting plate 1; a connecting plate 31 is fixed at each of the four corners of the rear end face of the limiting plate 30. The connecting plate 31 is provided with a slot 310. The fixing seat 12 is located between two adjacent connecting plates 31 and the clip 14 engages with the slot 310.

[0034] In this embodiment, two positioning heads 121 are fixed to each of the two opposite ends of the two fixed seats 12. Side plates 32 are tightly welded to both ends of the limiting plate 30, and two positioning grooves 320 are formed on the side plates 32 to engage with the positioning heads 121. This structure, through the engagement of the positioning heads 121 with the positioning grooves 320, can accurately assist in the installation of the limiting plate 30, ensuring accurate installation and improving the convenience of installation and the stability of the overall structure.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the baffle 33 and the connecting plate 31 are perpendicular to the limiting plate 30, and the baffle 33, the connecting plate 31, and the limiting plate 30 are integrally bent and formed. The integral forming process makes the baffle 33, the connecting plate 31, and the limiting plate 30 firmly connected, reduces welding or assembly gaps, not only enhances the structural strength, but also ensures a flat and beautiful appearance.

[0036] In this embodiment, the frame 2 has a U-shaped cross-section, and the fixing base 12 is tightly welded to the mounting plate 1. The U-shaped design facilitates the guidance and restraint of cables, while the tight welding method ensures the installation stability and reliability of the fixing base 12.

[0037] In this embodiment, the first cable tray 10 and the second cable tray 20 are both linearly and equally spaced, and the first cable tray 10 and the corresponding second cable tray 20 are located on the same vertical plane. This design facilitates orderly cable routing, standardizes cable routing and bending angles, facilitates management and maintenance, effectively improves the neatness and aesthetics of cable routing, and enhances the overall quality of cabling within the server rack.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the fixing seat 12 is H-shaped, and the size of the fixing seat 12 is adapted to the size between the two adjacent connecting plates 31. The H-shaped fixing seat 12 provides a reasonable support frame for the internal structure, and its adaptation to the size of the connecting plates 31 makes the installation of the limiting component 3 more compact and optimizes the overall structure's compactness.

[0039] In this embodiment, mounting holes 11 are provided at each of the four corners of the mounting plate 1, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting holes 11 is circular. The circular mounting holes 11 facilitate the use of standard mounting accessories and make it easy to fix the mounting plate 1 inside the server rack.

[0040] In this embodiment, the slider 13 and the clamping head 14 are integrally formed, and the size of the slider 13 is adapted to the size of the mounting groove 120. The integral forming ensures the structural strength of the slider 13 and the clamping head 14, the size adaptation allows the slider 13 to slide smoothly in the mounting groove 120, and the clamping head can accurately engage with the clamping groove 310, improving the convenience of installation and disassembly of the limiting component 3, and facilitating equipment maintenance and adjustment.

[0041] It should be added that the locking head 14 in this embodiment has an inclined surface, which provides a good guide when the limiting plate 30 is installed on the mounting plate 1. When the limiting plate 30 approaches the fixing seat 12, the inclined surface of the locking head 14 will first contact the connecting plate 31. After applying a certain pressure, the slider 13 will slide along the guide rod 15 into the mounting groove 120 under the action of the inclined surface, while compressing the spring 16. In this way, the limiting plate 30 can smoothly approach the fixing seat 12 without manually adjusting the position of the locking head 14, until the locking head 14 is aligned and engaged with the locking groove 310 on the connecting plate 31.

[0042] In practical use, the user first inserts the cable through the bottom of the second cable tray 20. After the cable passes through the second cable tray 20, the user bends the cable and passes it through the first cable tray 10. Then, the user moves the limiting plate 30 from the front to the frame 2, so that the positioning groove 320 passes through the positioning head 121. At the same time, the inclined surface of the clamp 14 will first contact the connecting plate 31. Under the action of the thrust, the slider 13 will slide along the guide rod 15 into the mounting groove 120 under the action of the inclined surface, while compressing the spring 16. At this time, the slider 13 will drive the clamp 14 to retract into the mounting groove 120. When the clamp 14 is aligned with the groove 310 on the connecting plate 31, under the elastic action of the spring 16, the slider 13 will drive the clamp 14 to move upward and engage with the groove 310. The limiting plate 30 is then installed. At the same time, under the restriction of the limiting plate 30 and the baffle 33, the cable cannot come out of the first cable tray 10 and the second cable tray 20.
