Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically to a top plate structure for server racks that facilitates cabling. Background Technology

[0002] Existing server racks contain numerous complex cables. In actual use, cabling is required at the back of the server. The common practice is to reserve space at the rear of the server rack for cabling. However, in practice, there are situations where server placement space is narrow and it is impossible to reserve rear space. In such cases, existing technology typically involves drilling holes in the upper rear of the server's top panel and routing the cables along the holes. However, the sharp edges of the metal panels at the holes can easily scratch or cut the cables, causing malfunctions. Furthermore, simply drilling holes in the top panel means that cables located at the front or middle of the server need to be routed within the rack to reach the holes at the rear. However, since there is no reliable guide for the cables, the internal cabling arrangement becomes messy. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a top panel structure that facilitates cabling. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model provides a top plate structure for server racks that facilitates cabling, enabling reliable cabling within the server and ensuring clear and reliable cabling.

[0005] Top plate sheet metal components;

[0006] And a wire guide plastic part, which includes a top cover ring and a lower protruding ring. The outer periphery of the lower protruding ring is provided with a side protruding plastic buckle. The side protruding plastic buckle corresponds to the outer periphery notch of the lower protruding ring and is connected to the corresponding position of the lower protruding ring through the lower connecting edge. The protruding buckle of the side protruding plastic buckle is used to lock the wire guide plastic part.

[0007] The top plate sheet metal assembly includes a top plate. The top plate has downward-folding and inward-folding side guide grooves located at the midpoint of its two long sides. The top plate has two clearance holes corresponding to the rear input / output terminals of the wiring. Each clearance hole is fitted with a wire-passing plastic component. The top of the side protrusion latch and the top cover ring lock the top plate. The lower surface of the top plate has a guide groove corresponding to the front of the clearance holes. The guide groove is parallel to the short side of the top plate. The front face of the guide groove has several first notches, and the rear face of the guide groove has several second notches. The length direction of the guide groove does not interfere with the rear extension end of the side guide groove.

[0008] Its further features are:

[0009] The lower surface of the top plate is provided with bypass guide grooves on both sides corresponding to the avoidance hole. The bypass guide grooves are used to guide the connecting line of the side guide grooves and the line through the wire hole on the lower convex ring into the lower convex ring.

[0010] The lower convex ring has several wire-passing holes around its circumference, which ensure that the wires can reliably enter and exit the lower convex ring.

[0011] A corresponding wire passage hole is provided at the position of the second notch, which allows the wire entering and exiting the second notch from the position of the corresponding wire passage hole to quickly enter and exit the lower convex ring through the wire passage hole, thus ensuring the clear and reasonable arrangement of the wire.

[0012] The wire passage hole, the first notch, and the second notch are partially covered with soft padding to ensure that the wires are not easily damaged.

[0013] The top plate is also provided with information recording module placement grooves on both sides of its front. The information inside each server rack is recorded in the information recording module through electronic files. The information recording module is placed in the information recording module placement groove.

[0014] The top of the information recording module contains text describing the cabinet's composition information, with the information facing upwards and easily observable through an exposed notch.

[0015] With the structure of this utility model, the lines located at the front end of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then along the side guide groove to finally connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. The lines located in the middle of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then along the second notch groove into the guide groove, and then flow out from the first notch groove at the corresponding position of the guide groove to connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. The lines located at the rear end of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then directly connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. This makes the wiring inside the server reliable and makes the wiring clear and reliable. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The server rack's top panel structure facilitates cabling; see... Figures 1-4 It includes a top plate sheet metal assembly 10 and two wire guide plastic parts 20;

[0023] Each wire guide plastic part 20 includes a top cover ring 21 and a lower protruding ring 22. The outer periphery of the lower protruding ring 22 is provided with a side protruding plastic buckle 23. The side protruding plastic buckle 23 corresponds to the outer periphery notch of the lower protruding ring 22 and is connected to the corresponding position of the lower protruding ring through the lower connecting edge 231. The protruding locking buckle 232 of the side protruding plastic buckle 23 is used to lock the wire guide plastic part 20 to the clearance hole 41 of the top plate 40.

[0024] The top plate sheet metal assembly 10 includes a top plate 40. The top plate 40 has side guide grooves 50 that are folded down and folded inward at the middle of its two long sides. The top plate 40 has two clearance holes 41 corresponding to the rear line input and output ends. Each clearance hole 41 is fitted with a wire-passing plastic part 20. The top of the side protrusion latch 23 and the top cover ring 21 lock the top plate 40. The lower surface of the top plate 40 has a guide groove 60 corresponding to the front of the clearance hole. The guide groove 60 is parallel to the short side of the top plate 40. The front surface of the guide groove 60 has several first notch grooves 61, and the rear surface of the guide groove 60 has several second notch grooves 62.

[0031] Its working principle is as follows: the cables located at the front of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then along the side guide groove to finally connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. The cables located in the middle of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then along the second notch groove into the guide groove. They then flow out from the first notch groove at the corresponding position of the guide groove and connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. The cables located at the rear of the server rack pass through the lower convex ring and then directly connect to the corresponding position of the server rack equipment. This ensures reliable cabling of the cables inside the server and makes the cabling clear and reliable.
