Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of brackets, specifically to an L-shaped bracket for server racks. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks, as the infrastructure used to house and secure critical equipment such as servers and switches in these locations, rely heavily on the rational layout and stable support of their internal components to ensure the normal operation of the entire system. Among these components, server rack brackets, as important auxiliary parts, are widely used to support and secure various devices. Their structural design not only directly affects the stability of equipment installation but also profoundly impacts heat dissipation and the utilization of space within the rack.

[0003] Currently, L-shaped brackets for server racks are a common type on the market. These L-shaped brackets typically consist of a horizontally placed support plate and a perpendicular support plate, forming an "L" shape. The support plate directly supports servers, switches, and other equipment, providing horizontal support; the support plate is connected to the side wall of the server rack or other fixed structures, providing vertical fixation.

[0004] However, existing L-shaped brackets have revealed many shortcomings in actual use. Regarding load-bearing capacity, due to limitations in structural design, some L-shaped brackets cannot withstand the long-term pressure of heavy equipment, easily deforming or even breaking, thus affecting the stability of the bracket when supporting servers. Secondly, in terms of installation flexibility, the installation dimensions and methods of existing L-shaped brackets are often relatively fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the installation needs of equipment of different specifications and shapes. When facing some special equipment or situations requiring flexible adjustment of the installation position, there is no way to extend or stretch them, affecting the actual freedom and flexibility of use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the above-mentioned defects and provide an L-shaped bracket for server racks, so as to solve the technical problems in the background art of poor installation stability of existing brackets and the difficulty in stretching the brackets to meet different length requirements, resulting in poor installation flexibility and application effect.

[0006] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following means:

[0007] An L-shaped bracket for a server rack includes a support frame with a vertical section for connecting the rack and a horizontal section for mounting servers. A connecting groove is provided on the inner side of the vertical section. A slidable adjusting slide rail is fitted through the vertical section, allowing for sliding adjustment along the vertical direction of the vertical section. A connecting bolt is connected to the adjusting slide rail via a pressure block. One end of the connecting bolt passes through the pressure block and the support frame and extends outward from one side of the adjusting slide rail. A locking nut is connected to the end of the connecting bolt. A groove for mates with the vertical section is provided within the adjusting slide rail. A positioning section is formed on the adjusting slide rail by bending. A connection port communicating with the outside is formed on the side of the connecting groove. A positioning guide groove for mates with the positioning section is provided on the inner side of the connection port. A guide sleeve is installed within the connecting groove. A retractable limiting pin is connected within the guide sleeve. One end of the limiting pin extends outward through a connecting buckle and is connected to a rotatable baffle. A positioning block is connected to the end of the limiting pin near the guide sleeve. An elastic element for driving the positioning block to continuously expose the limiting pin outside the connection port is fitted onto the guide sleeve.

[0008] By adjusting the sliding mechanism of the slide rail, the length of the vertical section can be extended to accommodate installation needs at different heights.

[0009] Furthermore, as described above, the side of the vertical part is provided with a connecting hole that communicates with the connecting groove. One end of the connecting bolt passes through the connecting groove from the connecting port and exits from the connecting hole, and is locked with a lock nut. A pad is fitted on the connecting bolt.

[0010] The position can be adjusted vertically along the sliding rail to accommodate server equipment of different heights, significantly improving installation flexibility; the connecting bolts pass through the pressure block and support frame and are fixed by locking nuts, enhancing the overall load-bearing capacity of the bracket and avoiding deformation or damage caused by local stress concentration after long-term use.

[0011] The pad increases the contact area and evenly distributes the bolt tightening pressure, preventing local dents or deformations on the vertical surface due to long-term pressure. At the same time, it works with the lock nut to ensure that the server equipment maintains high stability after installation and avoids loosening of the connection due to vibration or impact.

[0012] Furthermore, as described above, the pressure block has bent portions on both sides, and the two sides of the pressure block contact the two sides of the adjusting slide rail through the bent portions.

[0013] The bending section design limits the lateral displacement of the pressure block during the sliding process of the adjustment slide rail, ensuring that the adjustment slide rail and the vertical part always remain vertically aligned, thus improving the accuracy of sliding adjustment. At the same time, the bending section structure enhances the overall rigidity of the pressure block, preventing deformation of the pressure block due to long-term load-bearing and ensuring connection reliability.

[0014] Furthermore, as described above, the top of the horizontal section is provided with a plurality of mounting holes, which are spaced apart on the horizontal section.

[0015] The multi-hole layout allows for flexible selection of mounting points based on the location of the threaded holes on the bottom of the server equipment, adapting to the installation needs of different equipment specifications; the spaced mounting holes can enhance the freedom of installation.

[0016] Furthermore, as described above, the support frame is integrally formed by metal die casting or plastic injection molding, and the support frame is distributed in an "L" shape.

[0017] The one-piece molding process eliminates the welding or splicing gaps of traditional assembled brackets, avoids the generation of stress concentration points, and makes the vertical and horizontal parts form a rigid whole. The load transmission path is continuous and uninterrupted, which significantly improves the bending and torsional resistance of the bracket.

[0018] Furthermore, as described above, the vertical part has a threaded hole that communicates with the connecting groove. One end of the guide sleeve passes through the connecting groove and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The internal part of the guide sleeve forms a connected cavity. One end of the limiting pin passes through the baffle and the positioning block in sequence and extends into the cavity.

[0019] The guide sleeve and the vertical part are threaded together to form a detachable limiting mechanism. The setting of the limiting pin and the baffle is used to further limit the adjustment slide rail, and to provide mechanical limit after sliding adjustment to prevent the adjustment slide rail from falling off accidentally. The telescopic design enables the limiting pin to have an adaptive adjustment function, which is compatible with the installation requirements of different specifications of adjustment slide rails and improves the versatility of the structure.

[0020] Specifically, the width of the baffle is smaller than the inner width of the connecting groove, and the baffle can be rotated to retract into the connecting groove. At this time, after the adjusting slide rail is slidably adjusted along the vertical part, the guide sleeve is connected to the threaded hole of the vertical part, and the elastic element pushes out the baffle and the limiting pin, thereby limiting the pressure block and further preventing the pressure block from detaching or displacing, thus enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0021] Furthermore, as described above, one end of the elastic element is connected to the positioning block, and the other end of the elastic element contacts the bottom wall of the connecting groove, so that the elastic element can drive the positioning block to apply a continuous pushing force away from the connecting groove to the limiting pin.

[0022] The limit pin and the top of the baffle are driven by elastic elements, and the baffle is locked to the vertical part to ensure the stability and reliability of the vertical part when connected to the server rack.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a sliding adjustable slide rail in the vertical part and using a connection method of pressure block and connecting bolt with locking nut, a double fixing structure is formed. At the same time, the adjustable slide rail can slide along the vertical part through the slide groove, thereby allowing the vertical part to be telescopically set, so that the support height of the support frame can be adjusted to meet different installation height requirements. The continuous pushing action of the elastic element in the guide sleeve on the positioning block keeps the limit pin always expanding outward, and the baffle ensures the pressure plate is pressed against it, which significantly improves the bracket's resistance to deformation under load and the stability of the overall connection structure. By adjusting the sliding displacement of the slide rail, the installation height of the horizontal part can be flexibly adjusted to meet the installation spacing requirements of different server racks and other equipment, improving the flexibility and applicability of use.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0030] In this embodiment, refer to Figures 1-4The present invention relates to an L-shaped bracket for a server rack, comprising a support frame 100. The support frame 100 has a vertical portion 101 for connecting to the server rack and a horizontal portion 102 for mounting servers. A connecting groove 1 is provided on the inner side of the vertical portion 101. A slidable adjusting slide rail 2 is connected to the vertical portion 101. The adjusting slide rail 2 can slide and adjust along the vertical direction of the vertical portion 101. A connecting bolt 4 is connected to the adjusting slide rail 2 via a pressure block 3. One end of the connecting bolt 4 passes through the pressure block 3 and the support frame 100 and extends out from one side of the adjusting slide rail 2. A locking nut 5 is connected to the end of the connecting bolt 4. The inner part is provided with a sliding groove 6 for matching the vertical part 101 of the sleeve. The adjusting slide rail 2 is formed with a positioning part 7 by bending. The side of the connecting groove 1 is formed with a connecting port 8 communicating with the outside. The inner side of the connecting port 8 is provided with a positioning guide groove 9 for matching the positioning part 7. A guide sleeve 10 is installed in the connecting groove 1. A retractable limiting pin 11 is connected in the guide sleeve 10. One end of the limiting pin 11 extends outward through the connecting buckle and is connected to a rotatable baffle 12. A positioning block 13 is connected to the end of the limiting pin 11 near the guide sleeve 10. An elastic element 14 is connected to the guide sleeve 10 to drive the positioning block 13 to continuously expose the limiting pin 11 to the outside of the connecting port 8.

[0031] By adjusting the sliding setting of the slide rail 2, the length of the vertical part 101 can be stretched to accommodate installation requirements at different heights.

[0032] The side of the vertical part 101 is provided with a connecting hole 15 that communicates with the connecting groove 1. One end of the connecting bolt 4 passes through the connecting port 8 into the connecting groove 1 and exits from the connecting hole 15, and is locked with a lock nut 5. A pad 16 is fitted on the connecting bolt 4.

[0033] The position can be adjusted by sliding the slide rail 2 along the vertical direction of the vertical part 101, which can accommodate server equipment of different heights and significantly improve installation flexibility; the connecting bolt 4 passes through the pressure block 3 and is fixed to the support frame 100 by locking the bolt 5, which enhances the overall load-bearing capacity of the bracket and avoids deformation or damage caused by local stress concentration after long-term use.

[0034] The pad 16 increases the contact area to evenly distribute the bolt tightening pressure, preventing local dents or deformations on the surface of the vertical part 101 due to long-term pressure. At the same time, it works with the locking nut 5 to ensure that the server equipment maintains high stability after installation and avoids loosening of the connection due to vibration or impact.

[0035] The pressure block 3 has bent portions 17 on both sides, and the two sides of the pressure block 3 contact the two sides of the adjusting slide rail 2 through the bent portions 17.

[0036] The bending part 17 is designed to limit the lateral displacement of the pressure block 3 during the sliding process of the adjusting slide rail 2, ensuring that the adjusting slide rail 2 and the vertical part 101 always remain vertically aligned, thus improving the sliding adjustment accuracy. At the same time, the bending part 17 structure enhances the overall rigidity of the pressure block 3, preventing deformation of the pressure block 3 due to long-term load-bearing and ensuring connection reliability.

[0037] The top of the horizontal section 102 has multiple mounting holes 18, which are spaced apart on the horizontal section 102. The multi-hole layout allows for flexible selection of mounting points based on the position of the threaded holes on the bottom of the server equipment, adapting to the installation requirements of different equipment specifications; the spaced mounting holes 18 can enhance the freedom of installation.

[0038] The support frame 100 is integrally formed by metal die casting or plastic injection molding, and the support frame 100 is distributed in an "L" shape. The integral molding process eliminates the welding or splicing gaps of traditional assembled brackets, avoids the generation of stress concentration points, and makes the vertical part 101 and the horizontal part 102 form a rigid whole. The load transmission path is continuous and uninterrupted, which significantly improves the bending and torsional resistance of the bracket.

[0039] The vertical part 101 has a threaded hole that communicates with the connecting groove 1. One end of the guide sleeve 10 is inserted into the connecting groove 1 and threadedly connected to the threaded hole. The connected interior forms a connected cavity 19. One end of the limiting pin 11 passes through the baffle 12 and the positioning block 13 in sequence and extends into the cavity 19.

[0040] The guide sleeve 10 is threadedly connected to the vertical part 101 to form a detachable limiting mechanism. The limiting pin 11 and the baffle 12 are set to further limit the adjustment slide rail 2 and provide mechanical limit after sliding adjustment to prevent the adjustment slide rail 2 from accidentally falling off. The telescopic design enables the limiting pin 11 to have an adaptive adjustment function, which is compatible with the installation requirements of different specifications of adjustment slide rail 2 and improves the versatility of the structure.

[0041] Specifically, the width of the baffle 12 is smaller than the inner width of the connecting groove 1, and the baffle 12 can be rotated to retract into the connecting groove 1. At this time, after the adjusting slide rail 2 is slidably adjusted along the vertical part 101, the guide sleeve 10 is connected to the threaded hole of the vertical part 101, and the elastic element 14 pushes out the baffle 12 and the limiting pin 11, thereby limiting the pressure block 3, further preventing the pressure block 3 from detaching or displacing, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0042] One end of the elastic element 14 is connected to the positioning block 13, and the other end of the elastic element 14 is in contact with the bottom wall of the connecting groove 1, so that the elastic element 14 can drive the positioning block 13 to apply a continuous pushing force to the limiting pin 11 away from the connecting groove 1.

[0043] The elastic element 14 drives the limit pin 11 and the top of the baffle 12, and makes the baffle 12 lock with the vertical part 101, ensuring the stability and reliability of the vertical part 101 when connected to the server rack.

[0044] The specific structure in this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] By providing a sliding adjustable slide rail 2 in the vertical part 101, the adjustable slide rail 2 can be slidably adjusted along the length extension direction of the vertical part 101 via the slide groove 6. A double-fixed structure is formed by using a pressure block 3 and connecting bolts 4 in conjunction with a locking nut 5. The adjustable slide rail 2 can be slidably adjusted along the vertical part 101 via the slide groove 6, thereby allowing the length of the vertical part 101 to be extended and retracted, enabling the adjustment of the support height of the support frame 100 to accommodate different installation height requirements. The continuous pushing action of the elastic element 14 inside the guide sleeve 10 on the positioning block 13 ensures that the limiting pin 11 always passes through the connection port 8 and maintains an outward expansion trend. By rotating the baffle 12, the baffle 12 presses against the bottom of the pressure plate, significantly improving the bracket's resistance to deformation under load and the stability of the overall connection structure. By adjusting the sliding displacement of the slide rail 2, the installation height of the horizontal part 102 can be flexibly adjusted to meet the installation spacing requirements of different server racks and other equipment, improving the flexibility and applicability of use.
