Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of server chassis battery boxes, and specifically relates to a server battery box. Background Technology
[0002] In the server industry, as the sector evolves, the requirements for server chassis configurations are becoming increasingly stringent, while the real-time retention of information is paramount. In most cases, when the chassis is powered off, the applications in the memory are also shut down, leading to the loss of unsaved information. Therefore, adding a separate battery inside the chassis is essential to prevent data loss in case of unsaved data. Currently, server battery enclosures typically consist of a body and a cover, secured by a locking mechanism on the cover that fits into a corresponding groove on the body. However, the locking mechanism and the drive mechanism (such as a knob) are usually directly connected. Forcing the locking mechanism to operate when it is not aligned with the groove carries the risk of damaging both the locking mechanism and the drive mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the above problems, this application provides a server battery box that can reduce the risk of damage to locking and driving components.
[0004] This application provides a server battery box, which includes a box body, a cover, a mounting tube, a locking member, a spring, and a rotating shaft. The box body has an opening; the cover is rotatably connected to the box body and is used to open and close the opening; the mounting tube is disposed on the cover; one end of the locking member is inserted into the mounting tube and can move axially along the mounting tube, the locking member being completely located in a first position and partially located in a second position within the mounting tube; a limiting protrusion is provided on the side of the opening away from the cover, the limiting protrusion having a limiting groove, and when the locking member is in the second position and within the limiting groove, the cover closes the opening; one end of the spring is fixed inside the mounting tube, and the other end is connected to the locking member; the rotating shaft is rotatably inserted into the mounting tube, the spring is sleeved outside the rotating shaft, and a first protrusion is provided on the rotating shaft, the first protrusion being located between the two spirals of the spring bell.
[0005] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, the inner circumferential surface of the mounting tube is recessed to form an annular groove extending circumferentially along the mounting tube, and the first protrusion is located in the annular groove.
[0006] Optionally, to better realize the present invention, the rotating shaft includes a body and a pin. The body is provided with a first mounting hole that penetrates the body radially along the mounting tube. The pin is inserted into the first mounting hole, and the opposite ends of the pin protrude from the outer periphery of the body to form the first protrusion.
[0007] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, the mounting tube is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole, and the second mounting hole connects the bottom wall of the annular groove to the outside.
[0008] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, the outer periphery of the first protrusion abuts against the two groove walls of the annular groove in the circumferential direction of the mounting tube.
[0009] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, when the locking member is in the first position, a guide surface is provided at one end of the mounting tube. During the process of the box cover closing the opening, the guide surface abuts against and moves relative to the outer peripheral surface of the limiting protrusion to guide the locking member to move to the first position.
[0010] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, the mounting pipe has a first pipe section and a second pipe section arranged sequentially along its axial direction, the rotating shaft is located in the first pipe section, and one end of the locking member is inserted into the second pipe section.
[0011] Optionally, in order to better realize the present invention, the cross-section of the locking member is polygonal, and the cross-section of the second pipe segment is adapted to the cross-section of the locking member.
[0012] Optionally, to better realize the present invention, one end of the spring is provided with a limiting part, and the end face of the mounting tube away from the locking member is provided with a receiving groove, the receiving groove being used to accommodate the limiting part, so as to restrict the rotation of the spring relative to the mounting tube.
[0013] Optionally, to better realize the present invention, the server battery box further includes a knob, which is located at the end of the mounting tube away from the locking member and connected to the rotating shaft.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages:
[0015] Specifically, after the battery is placed into the box through the opening, the box cover is rotated to close the opening. At this time, the locking member is aligned with the limiting groove. Since the first protrusion is equivalent to the shaft and the mounting tube being fixed in the axial direction of the mounting tube, the shaft can be rotated in the first direction to make the first protrusion move along the spring, thereby increasing the length of the spring between the first protrusion and the locking member. This allows the spring to provide elastic pressure on the locking member, causing the locking member to move from the second position and insert into the limiting groove, thus fixing the box and the box cover, and thus completing the closure of the opening.
[0016] When the server battery box is to be opened, the first protrusion can be moved along the spring by rotating the pivot in the second direction, so that the length of the spring between the first protrusion and the locking member is reduced, thereby the spring provides elastic tension to the locking member, so that the locking member moves from the first position, thereby disengaging the locking member from the limiting groove, so that the box body and the box cover can rotate relative to each other to facilitate opening the opening;
[0017] When the locking member is not aligned with the limiting groove and the shaft is rotated, the length of the spring between the first protrusion and the locking member increases, thereby providing elastic pressure on the locking member. This causes the locking member to move from the second position. At this point, the locking member abuts against the wall of the limiting protrusion, preventing it from moving to the second position. The spring is further compressed, preventing the locking member and the driving member from jamming. This reduces the risk of damage to the locking member and the driving member caused by forcibly moving the locking member through the driving member. The spring extends until the locking member no longer abuts against the wall of the limiting protrusion, causing the portion between the first protrusion and the locking member to move towards the second position.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0030] In the server industry, as the sector evolves, the requirements for server chassis configurations are becoming increasingly stringent, while the real-time retention of information is paramount. In most cases, when the chassis is powered off, the applications in the memory are also shut down, leading to the loss of unsaved information. Therefore, adding a separate battery inside the chassis is essential to prevent data loss in case of unsaved data. Currently, server battery enclosures typically consist of a body and a cover, secured by a locking mechanism on the cover that fits into a corresponding groove on the body. However, the locking mechanism and the drive mechanism (such as a knob) are usually directly connected. Forcing the locking mechanism to operate when it is not aligned with the groove carries the risk of damaging both the locking mechanism and the drive mechanism.
[0031] To solve the above technical problems, refer to Figures 1-7 This application provides a server battery box including a box body 11, a box cover 12, a mounting tube 2, a locking component 3, a spring 4, and a rotating shaft 5. The box body 11 has an opening 111; the box cover 12 is rotatably connected to the box body 11 and is used to open and close the opening 111; the mounting tube 2 is provided on the box cover 12; one end of the locking member 3 is inserted into the mounting tube 2 and can move along the axial direction of the mounting tube 2. The locking member 3 is completely located in the first position and partially located in the second position of the mounting tube 2; a limiting protrusion 112 is provided on the side of the opening 111 away from the box cover 12. The limiting protrusion 112 has a limiting groove 1121. When the locking member 3 is in the second position and the locking member 3 is located in the limiting groove 1121, the box cover 12 closes the opening 111; one end of the spring 4 is fixed in the mounting tube 2 and the other end is connected to the locking member 3; the rotating shaft 5 is rotatably inserted into the mounting tube 2. The spring 4 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft 5. A first protrusion is provided on the rotating shaft 5. The first protrusion is located between the two spirals of the spring 4.
[0032] Specifically, after the battery is placed into the box 11 through the opening 111, the box cover 12 is rotated to close the opening 111. At this time, the locking member 3 is aligned with the limiting groove 1121. Since the first protrusion is equivalent to the shaft 5 and the mounting tube 2 being fixed in the axial direction of the mounting tube 2, the shaft 5 can be rotated in the first direction to make the first protrusion move along the spring 4, thereby increasing the length of the spring 4 between the first protrusion and the locking member 3. This allows the spring 4 to provide elastic pressure on the locking member 3, causing the locking member 3 to move from the second position and thus insert the locking member 3 into the limiting groove 1121, thereby fixing the box 11 and the box cover 12, and thus completing the closure of the opening 111.
[0033] When the server battery box is to be opened, the first protrusion can be moved along the spring 4 by rotating the pivot 5 in the second direction, so that the length of the spring 4 between the first protrusion and the locking member 3 is reduced, thereby the spring 4 provides elastic tension to the locking member 3, so that the locking member 3 moves from the first position, thereby the locking member 3 disengages from the limiting groove 1121, so that the box body 11 and the box cover 12 can rotate relative to each other, so as to open the opening 111.
[0034] When the locking member 3 is not aligned with the limiting groove 1121 and the rotating shaft 5 is rotated, the length of the spring 4 between the first protrusion and the locking member 3 increases, thereby providing elastic pressure on the locking member 3. This causes the locking member 3 to move from the first position to the second position. At this point, the locking member 3 abuts against the wall of the limiting protrusion 112, preventing it from moving to the second position. The spring 4 is further compressed, thus preventing the locking member 3 and the driving member from jamming. This reduces the risk of damage to the locking member 3 and the driving member caused by forcibly moving the locking member 3 through the driving member. The spring 4 extends until the locking member 3 no longer abuts against the wall of the limiting protrusion 112, causing the portion of the spring 4 between the first protrusion and the locking member 3 to extend, thus moving the locking member 3 to the second position.
[0035] Optionally, the inner circumferential surface of the mounting tube 2 is recessed to form an annular groove 22 extending circumferentially along the mounting tube 2, and the first protrusion is located within the annular groove 22. At the same time, the elastic force of the spring 4 can also press the first protrusion against the wall portion of the annular groove 22 in the axial direction of the mounting tube 2, thereby restricting the rotation of the shaft 5 along the circumferential direction of the mounting tube 2 by the first protrusion and improving the self-locking capability of the shaft 5.
[0036] Optionally, the rotating shaft 5 includes a body 52 and a pin 51. The body 52 has a first mounting hole that extends radially through the mounting tube 2. The pin 51 is inserted into the first mounting hole, and both ends of the pin 51 protrude from the outer periphery of the body 52 to form a first protrusion. By configuring the rotating shaft 5 as a body 52 and a pin 51, it is easy to form a first protrusion on the outer periphery of the rotating shaft 5, resulting in a simple and easy-to-implement structure.
[0037] Optionally, the mounting tube 2 is provided with a second mounting hole 21 corresponding to the first mounting hole. The second mounting hole 21 connects the bottom wall of the annular groove 22 to the outside. By providing a second mounting hole 21 corresponding to the first mounting hole in the mounting tube 2, it is convenient to assemble the pin 51 through the second mounting hole 21 after the rotating shaft 5 and the spring 4 are assembled. This facilitates the placement of the first protrusion in the annular groove 22 and simplifies the installation of the server battery box.
[0038] Understandably, after installation, pin 51 will not be partially located within the second mounting hole 21 to prevent pin 51 from interfering with the rotation of shaft 5.
[0039] Optionally, the outer periphery of the first protrusion abuts against the two groove walls of the annular groove 22 in the circumferential direction of the mounting tube 2. By abutting the outer periphery of the first protrusion against the two groove walls of the annular groove 22 in the circumferential direction of the mounting tube 2, the movement of the rotating shaft 5 along the axial direction of the mounting tube 2 is restricted by the first protrusion, thus eliminating the need for additional structures and making the structure simple and easy to implement.
[0040] Optionally, when the locking member 3 is in the first position, a guide surface 31 is provided at one end of the mounting tube 2. During the process of the cover 12 closing the opening 111, the guide surface 31 abuts against the outer peripheral surface of the limiting protrusion 112 and moves relative to it to guide the locking member 3 to move to the first position.
[0041] Specifically, when the locking member 3 is in the second position and not in the limiting groove 1121, the cover 12 can be rotated in the direction of closing the opening 111 so that the guide surface 31 of the locking member 3 abuts against the limiting protrusion 112, thereby causing the locking member 3 to move to the first position. At this time, the part of the spring 4 between the first protrusion and the locking member 3 is compressed. After the locking member 3 is aligned with the limiting groove 1121, the spring 4 extends to drive the locking member 3 to move to the second position, thereby allowing part of the locking member 3 to be accommodated in the limiting groove 1121, thereby causing the cover 12 to close the opening 111, thus simplifying the closing of the server battery box.
[0042] Optionally, the mounting pipe 2 has a first pipe section 2A and a second pipe section 2B arranged sequentially along its axial direction. The rotating shaft 5 is located in the first pipe section 2A, and one end of the locking member 3 is inserted into the second pipe section 2B. By setting the rotating shaft 5 and the locking member 3 in the first pipe section 2A and the second pipe section 2B respectively, the movement of the two is made independent, reducing the risk of mutual interference between them.
[0043] Optionally, the cross-section of the locking member 3 is polygonal, and the cross-section of the second pipe segment 2B is adapted to the cross-section of the locking member 3. By setting the cross-section of the locking member 3 to be polygonal and adapting the cross-section of the second pipe segment 2B to the cross-section of the locking member 3, the spring 4 is prevented from driving the locking member 3 to rotate, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the locking member 3.
[0044] Optionally, a limiting part 41 is provided at one end of the spring 4, and a receiving groove 23 is provided on the end face of the mounting tube 2 away from the locking member 3. The receiving groove 23 is used to receive the limiting part 41 to limit the rotation of the spring 4 relative to the mounting tube 2.
[0045] Optionally, the server battery box also includes a knob 6, which is located at the end of the mounting tube 2 away from the locking element 3 and connected to the rotating shaft 5. This knob 6 allows the operator to easily rotate the rotating shaft 5.
[0046] Understandably, the knob 6 can also abut against the end of the mounting tube 2 away from the locking member 3 to prevent the limiting part 41 from disengaging from the limiting part 41.
[0047] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope described in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
