[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.
[0034] Server racks used for equipment management typically require a built-in, operable computer to control and manage various devices. The rack usually also needs to house peripherals such as a keyboard and mouse for operating the computer. However, operating these peripherals often requires the user to reach both hands into the rack, making it inconvenient.
[0035] In view of the above, embodiments of this application provide a drawer assembly and a cabinet to overcome at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drawer assembly includes a support group 1 and a drawer 2. It should be noted that in this embodiment, an overall cabinet frame structure is used as the installation reference for the drawer assembly. In the following embodiments of this application, a first direction X, a second direction Y, and a third direction Z intersect in pairs, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the bracket assembly 1 and drawer 2 are arranged inside the cabinet in the first direction X, the second direction Y is approximately parallel to the pull-out direction of drawer 2, and the third direction Z is approximately parallel to the overall height direction of the cabinet.
[0037] The bracket assembly 1 includes at least two bracket bodies 10 spaced apart along a first direction X. Each bracket body 10 includes a mounting portion 100 for detachable connection to a cabinet and a guide portion 101 for connecting the mounting portion 100. A drawer 2 is disposed between the at least two mounting portions 100. The drawer 2 includes a first sidewall 20 and a second sidewall 21 opposite to each other along the first direction X. Both the first sidewall 20 and the second sidewall 21 are provided with guide grooves 200 extending through the first direction X. The guide portion 101 passes through the guide grooves 200 and supports the drawer 2. The guide grooves 200 extend along a second direction Y. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, drawer 2 has at least a first position and a second position. In the first position, drawer 2 is located inside the cabinet, and in the second position, at least a portion of drawer 2 is located outside the cabinet. Guide 101 is configured to slide relative to guide groove 200 to allow drawer 2 to switch between the first position and the second position.
[0038] This embodiment uses two bracket bodies 10 as an example. In other embodiments, the number of bracket bodies 10 can be flexibly increased as needed, which will not be elaborated here. Through the cooperation of the bracket group 1 and the drawer 2, the drawer 2 can hold peripherals within the cabinet. When peripherals are needed, the drawer 2 can be pulled along the second direction Y, improving ease of use. For example, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, drawer 2 can be considered to be in the first position, as... Figure 2 As shown, drawer 2 can be considered to be in the second position. The guide groove 200 penetrates the corresponding first side wall 20 and second side wall 21 in the second direction Y, so that the guide part 101 can make full use of the wall thickness of the first side wall 20 and the second side wall 21 and form a function of supporting drawer 2 and allowing drawer 2 to slide relative to each other, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the bracket assembly 1 in the cabinet.
[0039] In some embodiments, refer to Figures 1 to 3 The drawer 2 also includes a bottom wall 22, with a first side wall 20 and a second side wall 21 respectively connected to the bottom wall 22. The bottom wall 22 is provided with multiple weight-reducing holes 220. The bottom wall 22 serves as the supporting base of the overall drawer 2, and the weight-reducing holes 220 help reduce the overall weight of the drawer 2, thereby reducing the pressure on the guide portion 101. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 3 Multiple weight-reducing holes 220 are arranged in a row in the first direction X and form multiple rows of weight-reducing holes 220 in the second direction Y, which helps to ensure that the bottom wall 22 has sufficient bearing area, while improving the weight reduction and heat dissipation effect of the bottom wall 22. It can be understood that there are areas on the bottom wall 22 without weight-reducing holes 220 to support peripherals such as mice that require a complete operating bearing surface.
[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The bottom wall 22 is also provided with a wiring hole 221. The wiring hole 221 is used for centralized routing of external wiring harnesses, which improves the constraint effect on the wiring harnesses.
[0041] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 Drawer 2 also includes a third sidewall 23 and a fourth sidewall 24 distributed along the second direction Y. The third sidewall 23 and the fourth sidewall 24 are respectively connected to the bottom wall 22. The first sidewall 20, the second sidewall 21, the third sidewall 23, the fourth sidewall 24 and the bottom wall 22 enclose and form a receiving groove 26. The third sidewall 23 and the fourth sidewall 24 form a limit on the object placed in the receiving groove 26 in the second direction Y, improving the stability of the object placed in the receiving groove 26. The first sidewall 20, the second sidewall 21, the third sidewall 23, the fourth sidewall 24 and the bottom wall 22 can be integrally formed.
[0042] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3The third side wall 23 is provided with a handle hole 230 for installing a push-pull handle on the third side wall 23, so as to facilitate manual pulling out of the whole drawer 2.
[0043] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first sidewall 20 and the second sidewall 21 each have a first end 201 and a second end 202 disposed opposite to each other in the second direction Y. A guide groove 200 passes through the second end 202, and a guide portion 101 is configured to be able to disengage from the guide groove 200 from the second end 202. It can be understood that when the entire drawer 2 is pulled outward along the second direction Y towards the outside of the cabinet, the guide portion 101 can disengage from the guide groove 200 from the second end 202, that is, the entire drawer 2 can be completely pulled out from inside the cabinet without disassembling the bracket body 10, thereby improving the convenience of replacing and maintaining the drawer 2.
[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 Drawer 2 also includes an elastic limiting member 25. The first sidewall 20 and the second sidewall 21 are each provided with an elastic limiting member 25, and the elastic limiting member 25 is located on the relative movement path of the guide portion 101 toward the second end 202, to restrict the guide portion 101 from disengaging from the guide groove 200. In response to the compression of the guide portion 101, the elastic limiting member 25 is configured to produce elastic deformation, allowing the guide portion 101 to disengage from the guide groove 200. Specifically, the elastic limiting member 25 can be made of an elastic material such as elastic rubber. When the guide portion 101 moves relative to the elastic limiting member 25, the elastic limiting member 25 can provide a basic limiting function to prevent the drawer 2 from sliding directly when pulled out of the cabinet. When it is necessary to remove the drawer 2, the elastic resistance provided by the elastic limiting member 25 can be overcome.
[0045] Understandably, referring to Figure 4 In order to avoid the fourth sidewall 24 from obstructing the guide portion 101 in the second direction Y, a gap is reserved between the fourth sidewall 24 and the first sidewall 20 and between the fourth sidewall 24 and the second sidewall 21 in the second direction Y, so that the guide portion 101 can smoothly disengage from the guide groove 200.
[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 6In this embodiment, the guide groove 200 does not penetrate the first sidewall 20 and the second sidewall 21 in the second direction Y. Instead, the guide part 101 is detachably connected to the mounting part 100. Specifically, the guide part 101 can be connected to the mounting part 100 by means of snap-fit connection, screw connection, etc., to form a detachable structure. The disassembly and assembly principle is existing technology, which only needs to ensure that the guide part 101 can be removed in the first direction X, and will not be elaborated here. By enabling the guide part 101 to detach from the mounting part 100 in the first direction X, the entire drawer 2 can be removed without disassembling the entire mounting part 100, improving the convenience of replacing and maintaining the drawer 2.
[0047] According to the second aspect of this application, referring to Figures 1 to 3 A server rack is provided, including the aforementioned drawer assembly and a cabinet body 3, with the drawer assembly disposed within the cabinet body 3. It is understood that this server rack may possess all the technical features and effects of the aforementioned drawer assembly, which will not be elaborated upon here.
[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cabinet 3 includes a top plate 32, a base 33, multiple support columns 30, and multiple connecting beams 31. The top plate 32 and the base 33 are arranged in the third direction Z. The multiple support columns 30 connect the top plate 32 and the base 33, and the multiple connecting beams 31 connect adjacent support columns 30 in the second direction Y, thereby forming the overall frame structure of the cabinet 3. The cabinet also includes multiple fixing columns 4, which are located inside the cabinet 3. In this embodiment, the mounting part 100 is detachably connected to the fixing columns 4, and the fixing columns 4 have an operating gap 40 between them and the connecting beams 31 on the adjacent side in the first direction X. Specifically, in this embodiment, each bracket body 10 inside the cabinet 3 is provided with two fixing columns 4. The mounting part 100 is located between two fixing columns 4, wherein, for example... Figure 3 As shown, the mounting section 100 includes a main panel 1000 for connection to the guide section 101 and flanges 1001 at both ends of the main panel 1000. The main panel 1000 and the flanges 1001 can be integrally molded. The fixing post 4 is provided with adjustment holes 41 for screw connection of the flanges 1001. The fixing post 4 is detachably connected to the top plate 32 and the base 33 for flexible adjustment. The reserved operating gap 40 facilitates the operator to perform disassembly operations of the bracket body 10, etc. It is understood that in other embodiments, the bracket body 10 can also be directly connected to the frame structure of the cabinet 3, which will not be described in detail here.
[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The fixed column 4 has multiple adjustment holes 41 along the third direction Z for detachable connection of the mounting part 100. The mounting part 100 can be bolted to the corresponding adjustment holes 41. The mounting part 100 is configured to switch between different adjustment holes 41 along the third direction Z. It can be understood that the overall bracket body 10 can be adjusted in position along the height direction of the cabinet 3 as needed, thereby facilitating adaptation to different operating height requirements.
[0050] Furthermore, in some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The third sidewall 23 has protrusions 231 at both ends in the first direction X. These protrusions 231 have positioning holes 232 penetrating in the second direction Y. The protrusions 231 can face the fixing post 4 in the second direction Y, and the fixing post 4 and the third sidewall 23 can be screwed together through the positioning holes 232. It is understood that during the transportation of the entire cabinet, locking the third sidewall 23 and the fixing post 4 prevents the drawer 2 from falling off, thus improving the stability of the entire drawer 2.
