Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, and in particular to a server rack. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks are standard equipment used to store and manage servers, network devices, and related accessories. They are widely used in data centers, communication equipment rooms, and enterprise IT rooms. They not only provide physical support and space management but also offer multiple functions such as heat dissipation, protection, and cabling management, making them a crucial infrastructure for ensuring stable server operation. With the continuous advancement of information technology infrastructure, the requirements for server racks in terms of load-bearing capacity, security, and maintainability are increasing, especially in areas such as cabling management, space utilization, and seismic resistance, which have become important indicators for evaluating rack performance.

[0003] An existing server rack (utility model patent CN 211184663 U) discloses a rack body comprising a top plate, a bottom plate, and uprights. The uprights include two front uprights and two rear uprights. The top plate and bottom plate are fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the front and rear uprights, respectively. A cable management channel is provided at the front upright, comprising a cable channel and a cable channel cover, with the cover flipped up at the opening of the cable channel. A door is connected to the rear upright, and a power distribution socket is provided on the inside of the door. A top shock-absorbing component is provided between the top plate and the uprights, and a bottom shock-absorbing component is provided between the bottom plate and the uprights. This structure achieves clear and tidy cable management through the cable management channel, facilitating cable placement and retrieval. The power distribution socket is located on the inside of the door, saving space inside and outside the rack and improving operational convenience. The combination of the top and bottom shock-absorbing components enhances the rack's shock resistance, resulting in a compact structure.

[0004] However, the cable management structure in this patent is only located at the front support column, which fails to alleviate the cable management pressure on the sides of the cabinet. This results in the cable bundles on both sides of the cabinet being messy and lacking effective organization and protection measures. This problem is particularly prominent in actual use, especially in scenarios requiring multiple access devices on both sides or dense cable routing. The lack of management of side cables not only affects the overall aesthetics but may also cause problems such as cable crossing interference, accidental disconnection of interfaces, and poor heat dissipation. In severe cases, it can even affect the normal operation and maintenance efficiency of the server.

[0005] Therefore, to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, we urgently need a server rack to solve this problem. This new type of server rack should, while retaining its original functions, further optimize the layout of the cable management structure, especially enhancing the effective management and protection of cable bundles on both sides of the rack. This would significantly improve the efficiency and quality of cabling management, while better meeting the diverse needs of modern data centers for high-density cabling, efficient maintenance, and high security, thus providing strong support for the continuous development of information infrastructure.

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a server rack that solves the problem that in the prior art, the cable management structure is only set at the front column, which cannot alleviate the cable management pressure on the cable bundles on both sides of the rack, resulting in messy and disorganized cable bundles on both sides of the rack, lacking effective organization and protection measures.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a server rack, including a rack and a mounting bracket installed inside the rack;

[0008] Several cable boxes are provided on both sides of the cabinet. Both ends of the cable box are slidably connected to the side wall of the cabinet through a sliding structure. A side plate is detachably connected to one side of the cable box, and a positioning structure that is detachably connected to the side wall of the cabinet is provided at the bottom of one side of the cable box.

[0009] The cabinet has several side slots on both sides, and each side slot has a sealing structure that can be detachably connected to the side wall of the cabinet.

[0010] The side plate has a bottom opening on one side for wires to pass through, and the inner wall of the side plate has several corresponding grooves that correspond to the side grooves.

[0011] The sealing structure includes a sealing plate, and a sealing ring is fixedly connected to one edge of the sealing plate.

[0012] The sliding structure includes a guide rod and a sliding sleeve. Both ends of the guide rod are fixedly connected to the side wall of the cabinet with bolts. The sliding sleeve slides with the guide rod, and one side of the sliding sleeve is connected to the side wall of the junction box.

[0013] The sealing plate is made of metal and is bolted to the side wall of the cabinet.

[0014] The positioning structure includes a positioning plate fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the junction box and a positioning screw with one end threaded through the positioning plate. Positioning holes adapted to the positioning screw are opened on both sides of the bottom of the cabinet.

[0015] The junction box has a handle fixedly connected to one side, a rotating groove is provided on the edge of the junction box near the side plate, a rotating rod is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate and rotates inside the rotating groove, and the other side is fixedly connected to the side wall of the junction box with bolts. The side plate has several side openings on one side.

[0016] This utility model discloses a server rack that, by incorporating multiple sliding and adjustable cable boxes on both sides of the rack, allows cables to flexibly choose their exit positions according to the equipment layout. The sliding and positioning structures enable rapid positioning, significantly improving the flexibility and adaptability of cabling. The cable boxes are equipped with detachable side panels, and the bottom openings and corresponding slots not only facilitate cable routing but also enable orderly cable management, avoiding cable crossing interference and improving the neatness and maintainability of the cabling. Simultaneously, the corresponding slots align with the side slots on the rack's side walls, further ensuring the uniformity and guidance of cable routing paths and reducing the possibility of cabling chaos. The sealing structure solves the dustproof, fireproof, and aesthetic problems associated with unused side slots, improving the overall protective performance and space utilization of the rack. In summary, this solution, while retaining the basic functions of a traditional rack, effectively alleviates the problems of messy and inconvenient cable management on the sides of the rack by optimizing the cable management structure, particularly by adding flexible, adjustable, and enclosed cable management components on both sides of the rack, thus improving cabling efficiency and maintenance convenience.

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, a server rack in this embodiment includes a rack 2 and a mounting bracket 1 installed inside the rack 2;

[0027] Several cable boxes 3 are provided on both sides of the cabinet 2. Both ends of the cable box 3 are slidably connected to the side wall of the cabinet 2 through a sliding structure. A side plate 10 is detachably connected to one side of the cable box 3. A positioning structure that is detachably connected to the side wall of the cabinet 2 is provided at the bottom of one side of the cable box 3.

[0028] Both sides of the cabinet 2 are provided with several side slots 5, and each side slot 5 is provided with a sealing structure that can be detachably connected to the side wall of the cabinet 2.

[0029] The bottom of one side of the side plate 10 is provided with a bottom opening 11 for wires to pass through, and the inner wall of the side plate 10 is provided with a number of corresponding grooves 15 corresponding to the side grooves 5.

[0030] In the actual workflow of this server rack, the server and related network equipment are first installed on the mounting rack 1 inside rack 2. Then, according to the cable routing and cabling requirements, the cables are threaded through the junction boxes 3 on both sides of rack 2. The junction boxes 3 are slidably connected to the side walls of rack 2 via sliding structures at both ends. The horizontal position of the junction boxes 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the actual cabling location. After being adjusted to a suitable position, the positioning structure at the bottom of one side of the junction box 3 is used to detachably connect the junction box 3 to the side wall of rack 2, thereby fixing the junction box 3 in different positions to adapt to the cable routing requirements of different devices. After the cables are connected to the junction box 3, the junction box 3 is sealed by the detachably connected side plate 10. The system features a closed-loop management system. One side of the side panel 10 has a bottom opening 11 for cable routing, facilitating cable exit from below. Simultaneously, the inner wall of the side panel 10 has several corresponding slots 15, which correspond to the side slots 5 on the side wall of the cabinet 2. This ensures orderly cable routing and guidance from the junction box 3 to the inside or outside of the cabinet 2, preventing cable tangling. Furthermore, when cables do not need to exit from a particular side, the corresponding side slot 5 on the side wall of the cabinet 2 can be sealed off using a sealing structure, providing dustproof, fireproof, and aesthetic benefits, thus improving the overall protective performance and space utilization of the cabinet. The entire cabling process is flexible, the structure is adjustable, and the cable routing is clear, facilitating identification and management by maintenance personnel.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown, in this embodiment of a server rack, the sealing structure includes a sealing plate 6. A sealing ring is fixedly connected to one edge of the sealing plate 6. Specifically, by setting the sealing plate 6 and the sealing ring, when a certain side groove 5 is not needed, the sealing plate 6 is tightly fitted to the side groove 5 of the side wall of the rack 2 through the sealing ring on its edge, and fixed by bolts or other means. The elastic deformation capability of the sealing ring enhances the sealing performance between the sealing structure and the rack 2, achieving good dustproof, fireproof and sound insulation effects, while improving the overall neatness and aesthetics of the rack.

[0033] The sealing plate 6 is made of metal and is bolted to the side wall of the cabinet 2. Specifically, by bolting the metal sealing plate 6 to the side wall of the cabinet 2, when sealing the side groove 5, the metal sealing plate 6 not only has good structural strength, but also good fire resistance, dust resistance and deformation resistance. At the same time, the bolt connection method enables quick assembly and disassembly, thereby improving the stability of the sealing structure and the installation efficiency, and enhancing the applicability of the cabinet in complex environments.

[0034] Example 3

[0035] Please see Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, a server rack in this embodiment has a sliding structure including a guide rod 4 and a sliding sleeve 8. Both ends of the guide rod 4 are bolted to the side wall of the rack 2. The sliding sleeve 8 is slidably engaged with the guide rod 4. One side of the sliding sleeve 8 is connected to the side wall of the junction box 3. Specifically, through the arrangement of the guide rod 4 and the sliding sleeve 8, the sliding sleeve 8 slides along the guide rod 4 fixed to the side wall of the rack 2, thereby flexibly adjusting the horizontal position of the junction box 3 on the side wall of the rack 2 to adapt to the cabling needs of different devices. This achieves the effects of adjustable position of the junction box 3, more flexible cabling, and easier maintenance, improving the adaptability and convenience of cabling management.

[0036] The positioning structure includes a positioning plate 16 fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the junction box 3 and a positioning screw 17 threaded through the positioning plate 16 at one end. Positioning holes 7 adapted to the positioning screw 17 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the cabinet 2. Specifically, with the positioning plate 16, positioning screw 17 and positioning holes 7, when the junction box 3 slides to the required position, the positioning screw 17 passes through the positioning plate 16 and is screwed into the positioning hole 7 at the bottom of the side wall of the cabinet 2, thereby fixing the junction box 3 in the designated position. This achieves the effect of quick positioning and stabilizing the junction box 3, improves the stability of the junction box 3 after adjustment, avoids displacement during use, and improves the reliability of wiring operations.

[0037] A handle 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the junction box 3. A rotating groove 14 is provided on the edge of the junction box 3 near the side plate 10. A rotating rod 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the side plate 10 and rotates inside the rotating groove 14. The other side is bolted to the side wall of the junction box 3. Several side openings 12 are provided on one side of the side plate 10. Specifically, through the arrangement of the handle 9, rotating groove 14, rotating rod 13 and side openings 12, the handle 9 facilitates the operator to pull the junction box 3 for sliding adjustment. The side plate 10 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 14 on the junction box 3 through the rotating rod 13, so that the side plate 10 can be flipped open. At the same time, the other side of the side plate 10 is fixed to the junction box 3 by bolts. The side openings 12 are used for cables to be led out from the side. This achieves the effect of facilitating the disassembly and maintenance of the cables inside the junction box 3, improving the flexibility of wiring and the convenience of operation, and enhancing the maintainability and spatial adaptability of cable management.

[0038] In the actual workflow, the server and related network equipment are first installed on the mounting rack 1 inside the cabinet 2. Then, according to the cable routing and cabling requirements, the operator pulls the cable box 3 using the handle 9 on the cable box 3, allowing it to slide horizontally along the sliding structure composed of the guide rod 4 and the sliding sleeve 8, adjusting it to a suitable cabling position. After adjustment, the positioning screw 17 in the positioning structure is screwed into the positioning hole 7 at the bottom of the cabinet 2 to fix the cable box 3. After the cable passes through the cable box 3, the side plate 10 is flipped open or closed by the cooperation of the rotating rod 13 and the rotating groove 14, and the other side of the side plate 10 is fixed to the cable box 3 with bolts. The cable enters and exits the cable box 3 through the side opening 12 or the bottom opening 11, and the corresponding groove 15 on the inner wall of the side plate 10 and the side groove 5 on the side wall of the cabinet 2 achieve orderly cable guidance, avoiding cable tangling and mess. When a side channel 5 is not in use, it is sealed by a sealing plate 6. The sealing ring on the edge of the sealing plate 6 fits tightly around the side channel 5 and is fixed by bolts, which serves to prevent dust, fire, noise and aesthetics.

[0039] The structural design of this server rack effectively solves the problem of insufficient cable management on both sides of the rack in existing technologies. By setting multiple adjustable cable boxes 3, combined with the sliding structure of guide rods 4 and sliding sleeves 8, the cable boxes 3 can be flexibly adjusted according to the equipment layout, improving the flexibility and adaptability of cabling. At the same time, the cooperation of positioning plates 16, positioning screws 17 and positioning holes 7 enables the cable boxes 3 to be quickly positioned and firmly fixed after adjustment, improving the reliability of cabling operations. The side plates 10 equipped with the cable boxes 3 can be flipped open by rotating rods 13 and rotating slots 14, facilitating cable installation and maintenance. At the same time, the bottom opening 11 and side opening 12 meet the needs of cable outlets in different directions, enhancing the operability and spatial adaptability of cabling management. The corresponding slots 15 on the inner wall of the side plate 10 correspond to the side slots 5 on the side wall of the rack 2, realizing the unified guidance of cable paths, avoiding cable crossing interference, and improving cabling neatness and maintenance efficiency. The sealing plate 6 in the sealing structure is made of metal, possessing excellent structural strength and fire and dust resistance. The sealing ring enhances the seal between the sealing plate and the cabinet 2, further improving the cabinet's protection level and space utilization. The handle 9 design improves the ease of operation for moving and adjusting the cable box 3, enhancing overall maintainability.
