Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of server structure technology, and specifically relates to a server rack anti-vibration device. Background Technology
[0002] Server racks, as crucial components in computing centers, are designed to support a large number of servers and power supply equipment. However, in practical applications, racks often experience self-vibration issues. One source of this self-vibration is the vibration and noise generated by the hard drives and fans inside the rack. Large hard drives rely on swing arms to control the position of the read / write heads during read / write operations, making them extremely sensitive to external vibrations and noise. External vibrations and noise can trigger mechanical resonance within the hard drive, causing the read / write heads to deviate from their original read / write trajectory, resulting in the hard drive failing to read or write normally.
[0003] To ensure performance, modern servers typically employ large-capacity hard drives and high-speed fans within their racks. The internal vibrations and noise generated by these high-speed fans directly impact the hard drives and motherboards, affecting not only operational stability but also significantly degrading hard drive reliability. Furthermore, server rack enclosures and hard drive racks are often designed by different manufacturers using standardized modules, lacking unified optimization for vibration. This incompatibility can lead to loose rack connectors and poor board contact, ultimately affecting the reliability of the entire system. Therefore, in data center operations, companies typically implement vibration isolation and noise reduction measures for server racks. However, traditional rubber pads and shock absorbers can only alleviate localized vibrations and cannot completely eliminate the frequent self-vibration of the entire rack. As the power density within racks continues to increase, the self-vibration problem becomes more prominent, especially under external impacts. The rack's elastic structure easily amplifies even minute vibrations, leading to instantaneous equipment failure. Therefore, improving rack support structures and constructing highly adaptable anti-vibration devices has become an urgent priority for enhancing server rack stability and extending the lifespan of rack systems. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a server rack anti-vibration device, the specific technical solution of which is as follows: This utility model provides a server rack anti-vibration device, including an upright server rack with anti-vibration frames and push plates at its four corners for anti-vibration of the server rack. The anti-vibration frame includes a diagonally arranged strip-shaped double connecting rod with a triangular seat hinged to its upper end. The side of the triangular seat is provided with a fixing plate that connects to the edge of the rack, and a push plate that abuts against the ground is provided at the tail of the double connecting rod.
[0005] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the double connecting rods are arranged side by side in parallel, and a first bolt and a second bolt are sequentially threaded through them for connection and locking, for rigid support against vibration.
[0006] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a buffer spring is symmetrically connected between the first bolt and the second bolt, and a guide bolt is provided inside the spring for damping and reducing vibration.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the two corner edges of the triangular base are provided with side holes, and rotatable fixing plates are respectively hinged in the holes for connecting the cabinet to transmit vibration.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the fixing plate includes a suction cup arranged on the side, on which a locking knob is inserted for adsorbing the cabinet for locking.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a hook plate is provided between the double connecting rod and the push plate, and its tail end is rotatably bolted to the push plate for limiting the beginning and end of the double connecting rod.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the push plate includes an obliquely arranged wedge-shaped bottom, and its bottom wall is provided with multiple rubber particles to increase the friction with the ground.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the upper end of the push plate is provided with a calibration groove, in which a torsion spring is inserted and connected to a hook plate for normal calibration of the bottom surface of the push plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: This server rack anti-vibration device design effectively solves the self-vibration problem that traditional server racks may experience in high-frequency vibration and seismic environments through reasonable structure and mechanical principles, and has the following beneficial effects: First, the installation of anti-vibration frames and push-back plates effectively disperses external vibrations. In this device, anti-vibration frames and push-back plates are installed at the four corners of the server rack. These anti-vibration frames and push-back plates work together to disperse and transmit vibration energy to the various support points of the rack in a timely manner when external vibrations or earthquakes occur, reducing the chance of vibration energy concentrating on the equipment inside the rack, thereby effectively reducing the impact of rack vibration on the equipment.
[0013] Secondly, the double-link design of the seismic bracing system enables the cabinet to withstand vibrations in multiple directions. This design, through diagonally positioned strip-shaped double links, effectively distributes the mechanical forces generated during vibration to the four corners of the cabinet, enhancing its stability. The double-link structure also ensures a more even distribution of seismic force, preventing structural damage and vibration propagation caused by overloading a single support point.
[0014] Furthermore, the structural design of the triangular base and mounting plate greatly enhances the stability of the server rack. The connection point between the triangular base and the mounting plate is located at the edge of the server rack. By connecting to the edge of the rack, the vibration damper can be firmly fixed to the rack, preventing displacement or loosening due to vibration. This stable connection design ensures the stability of the server rack during vibration and improves the protection effect of the equipment.
[0015] Furthermore, the push-back plate further enhances the vibration resistance. Installed at the rear of the double-linkage mechanism, the push-back plate is in direct contact with the ground. Its main function is to counteract the reverse force generated during cabinet vibration through the principle of reverse mechanics, reducing the path of vibration propagation into the cabinet. The grounding design of the push-back plate allows vibration to be discharged through the reverse thrust, ensuring the stable operation of the precision equipment inside the cabinet.
[0016] In summary, this anti-vibration device, through the reasonable combination of anti-vibration frame and push plate, the ingenious design of double connecting rod and triangular seat, and the reinforcement effect of push plate, not only enhances the overall anti-vibration capability of the cabinet, but also effectively reduces the impact of vibration on the electronic equipment inside the cabinet, thereby extending the service life of servers and other hardware equipment, ensuring the normal operation of data center equipment under extreme conditions, and has great application value.

[0018] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Example
[0019] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section, the following server rack anti-vibration device is provided: Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, a server rack anti-vibration device includes an upright server rack with anti-vibration frames 1 and push-back plates 2 supported at its four corners for anti-vibration of the server rack. The anti-vibration frame 1 includes a diagonally arranged strip-shaped double connecting rod 11 with a triangular seat 12 hinged to its upper end. The side of the triangular seat 12 is provided with a fixing plate 13 connected to the edge of the rack, and a push-back plate 2 that abuts against the ground is provided at the tail of the double connecting rod 11.
[0020] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a first embodiment of a server rack anti-vibration device. The device includes a vertically mounted server rack, with anti-vibration frames 1 and push-back plates 2 supported at the four corners of the rack, primarily used for effective anti-vibration protection of the server rack. The anti-vibration frames 1 adopt a diagonally arranged strip-shaped double-link structure 11. This design can better disperse and transmit vibration force to the four corners, thereby improving the rack's anti-vibration capability.
[0021] In this embodiment, the upper end of the vibration damping frame 1 is hinged to the triangular base 12. The triangular base 12 is designed with an extended fixing plate 13, which is connected to the edge of the cabinet to ensure that the vibration damping frame 1 can be firmly fixed to the cabinet and prevent the vibration damping frame 1 from loosening or shifting when vibration occurs. The function of the triangular base 12 is to transmit the vibration force from the upper part to the ground through the double connecting rod 11, while the fixing plate 13 ensures the stable transmission of vibration, ensuring that the vibration damping device can function when the cabinet is subjected to vibration.
[0022] The tail of the double-link 11 is designed with a ground-contacting push plate 2. The main function of this push plate 2 is to generate friction with the ground. When vibration occurs, the push plate 2 can reverse the vibration and transmit it to the ground, reducing the propagation of vibration inside the cabinet and further improving the cabinet's stability. This design, where the push plate 2 contacts the ground, ensures that vibration energy is effectively dissipated and does not enter the equipment inside the cabinet through the support structure, thus avoiding direct impact of vibration on the equipment.
[0023] The anti-vibration device in this embodiment, through the coordinated action of the anti-vibration frame 1, the triangular base 12, the fixing plate 13, the double connecting rod 11, and the push plate 2, constitutes an effective anti-vibration protection system. The close cooperation between each component ensures that the server rack remains stable under strong vibration conditions, protecting the equipment inside the rack from vibration damage. This design combines mechanical principles and structural optimization, providing a practical and efficient anti-vibration solution for server racks. Example
[0024] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following: In this embodiment, the double connecting rods 11 are arranged side by side in parallel, and a first bolt 17 and a second bolt 16 are sequentially threaded through them for connection and locking, serving as rigid support for vibration.
[0025] A buffer spring 15 is symmetrically connected between the first bolt 17 and the second bolt 16, and a guide bolt is provided inside the spring to buffer and reduce vibration.
[0026] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a second embodiment of a server rack anti-vibration device. In this embodiment, the double connecting rods 11 are designed to be arranged side by side in parallel to enhance the rigid support of the rack when subjected to vibration. The two ends of the double connecting rods 11 are connected by a first bolt 17 and a second bolt 16, respectively, to ensure the stability of the double connecting rods 11 structure during vibration. The connection between the first bolt 17 and the second bolt 16 is achieved through a locking mechanism, ensuring that the double connecting rods 11 will not shake or shift when subjected to external vibration, thereby ensuring the structural strength and stability of the anti-vibration frame 1.
[0027] Furthermore, to better mitigate impact during vibration, a buffer spring 15 is symmetrically connected between the first bolt 17 and the second bolt 16. The buffer spring 15 acts as a shock absorber during vibration, slowly releasing vibration energy to reduce the impact of vibration on the cabinet and prevent excessive vibration from being directly transmitted to the equipment inside the cabinet. A guide bolt is provided inside the buffer spring 15; the guide bolt guides the stable movement of the buffer spring 15 when subjected to vibration, ensuring that the buffer spring 15 can evenly distribute vibration energy, further improving the shock resistance.
[0028] In this embodiment, the double connecting rod 11, the bolt, and the buffer spring 15 are designed to work together to form a reasonable mechanical transmission path when vibration occurs. The combination of the first bolt 17 and the second bolt 16 ensures the stability of the double connecting rod 11, while the buffer spring 15 effectively reduces the impact force caused by vibration, thus providing good protection for the equipment inside the cabinet. Through the synergistic effect of these components, the anti-vibration device of this embodiment can effectively prevent vibration from affecting the cabinet, ensuring the structural stability of the cabinet and the safety of the equipment. Example
[0029] Combination Figure 2-5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following: In this embodiment, the two corner edges of the triangular base 12 are provided with side holes 121, and rotatable fixed plates 13 are respectively hinged in them for connecting the cabinet to transmit vibration.
[0030] The fixed plate 13 includes a suction cup 131 on the side, on which a locking knob 132 is inserted for adsorbing the cabinet and locking it.
[0031] The triangular base 12 has a through hole inside to reduce stress concentration.
[0032] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 2-5 This utility model provides a third embodiment of a server rack anti-vibration device, specifically optimized for the anti-vibration effect of server racks. In this embodiment, the two corner edges of the triangular base 12 are respectively provided with side holes 121 for hinged connection of a rotatable fixing plate 13. This design allows the fixing plate 13 to be flexibly connected to the rack and effectively transmit vibrations. Through its connection with the rack, the fixing plate 13 achieves vibration transmission and stable fixation, ensuring that the rack maintains stability under vibration.
[0033] The mounting plate 13 has suction cups 131 on its side, which are locked in place by inserting a locking knob 132. The suction cups 131 ensure that the mounting plate 13 adheres firmly to the rack, guaranteeing a secure connection between the rack and the vibration damping device. The locking knob 132 further strengthens the suction force, ensuring that the mounting plate 13 will not loosen during vibration, thus providing a more stable vibration transmission effect.
[0034] In addition, the triangular base 12 has through holes inside, a design intended to reduce stress concentration. By providing through holes inside the triangular base 12, stress can be distributed more evenly during vibration, avoiding stress concentration that could lead to structural damage, and further enhancing the stability and seismic resistance of the device.
[0035] Through these designs, the entire seismic device is more reliable and has a more efficient shock absorption capacity. The connection between the mounting plate 13 and the cabinet provides stable support, while the through-hole design of the triangular base 12 effectively reduces the impact of stress concentration on the device, thereby improving the cabinet's seismic resistance. Example
[0036] Combination Figure 3-5 As shown, based on the above embodiments, this embodiment further provides the following: In this embodiment, a hook plate 14 is provided between the double connecting rod 11 and the push plate 2, and its tail end is rotatably bolted to the push plate 2 for limiting the beginning and end of the double connecting rod 11.
[0037] The push plate 2 includes an inclined wedge-shaped bottom 21, and its bottom wall is provided with multiple rubber particles 22 to increase the friction with the ground.
[0038] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 3-5This utility model provides a fourth embodiment of a server rack anti-vibration device. In this embodiment, a hook plate 14 is provided between the double connecting rod 11 and the push plate 2, and the tail end of the hook plate 14 is connected to the push plate 2 by bolting. This structure is used to limit the beginning and end of the double connecting rod 11, ensuring that the double connecting rod 11 will not swing or deviate excessively during vibration, thereby maintaining the stability of the overall anti-vibration device.
[0039] The thrust plate 2 is designed with an inclined wedge-shaped bottom 21 structure, and its bottom wall is covered with multiple rubber particles 22. The function of these rubber particles 22 is to enhance the friction between the thrust plate 2 and the ground, ensure that the thrust plate 2 is firmly in contact with the ground during vibration, reduce slippage, and effectively transmit the vibration force to the ground.
[0040] The rotatable bolted connection between the push plate 2 and the hook plate 14 gives the device a certain degree of flexibility during vibration, allowing it to adapt to different vibration amplitudes while maintaining the stability of the cabinet. The end-to-end limiting function of the double connecting rod 11 effectively controls the range of motion of the entire structure, preventing component damage caused by severe vibration.
[0041] These designs enable the entire anti-vibration device to effectively stabilize the server rack and resist vibration during use, while also possessing high adaptability and reliability. The coordinated design of the hook plate 14, the push plate 2, and the double linkage 11 forms a stable and efficient anti-vibration system suitable for server rack applications.
