Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically a novel server rack lighting structure. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks are core infrastructure in computer rooms and data centers, primarily used for the centralized installation and fixation of IT equipment such as servers, switches, and UPS power supplies. Standardized internal space and mounting holes allow for a neat and organized equipment layout, saving physical space. They also feature excellent ventilation and heat dissipation structures, working with cooling fans or air conditioning systems to maintain stable equipment operating temperatures and reduce overheating failures. Their enclosed protective design prevents dust and physical impacts, protecting equipment safety. Furthermore, they help organize cable routing, reducing maintenance difficulties caused by messy cabling, facilitating equipment inspection, expansion, and management, and ensuring the stable, efficient, and secure operation of IT systems.

[0003] The existing technology proposes a new server rack lighting structure. In use, current data center computer rooms basically adopt the traditional layout of closed cold aisle (front of the rack). Cold aisle lighting is generally integrated, while hot aisle (back of the rack) lighting needs to be installed separately to facilitate operation at the back of the rack. At the same time, production cable trays are also installed in the hot aisle area. When the computer room space is limited, the lighting of the hot aisle will affect the installation of production cable trays, which not only restricts the computer room space layout, but also increases the construction difficulty.

[0004] Therefore, we propose a novel server rack lighting structure to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel server rack lighting structure to solve the problem of limited lighting layout on the back of server racks mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a novel server rack lighting structure, including a rack body, a rack door hinged to the front of the rack body, a controller installed inside the rack body, and a lighting support component installed on the upper back of the rack body. The lighting support component is L-shaped, with a movable insert rod in the middle of the lighting support component and a screw at the bottom of the insert rod. One end of the lighting support component has a post, and a swivel ring is provided at the end of the post. Several sets of limiting plates are installed in a ring around the outside of the swivel ring. A mounting plate is fixedly installed on the rear side of one side of the lighting support component.

[0007] Preferably, a lighting trough is rotatably mounted in the middle of the lighting support member, and a lamp tube is installed in the middle of the lighting trough.

[0008] Preferably, the insert is inserted into both sides of the interior of the lighting trough, and the lighting trough is semi-circular.

[0009] Preferably, one side of the limiting plate is connected to the spring, the limiting plate is located inside the circular groove, and the circular groove is located on one side of the inner midpoint of the lighting support member, and a grid is provided inside the circular groove.

[0010] Preferably, the cabinet body has ventilation holes on the top and ventilation grilles on the bottom.

[0011] Preferably, the surface of the mounting plate is provided with a plurality of positioning holes at equal intervals, and fixing blocks are fixedly installed at the front of both ends of the mounting plate, and positioning pins are inserted inside the fixing blocks, with screws installed in front of the positioning pins.

[0012] Preferably, the mounting plate is fixedly installed on the upper back of the cabinet body, and the lighting support component is located between the two sets of mounting plates, and the lighting support component and the fixing block are fixedly connected.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. When assembling the new server rack lighting structure, the lighting support component is located between two sets of mounting plates. The positioning pins, inserted into designated positioning holes, can be fixed according to the length of the lighting support component. This design eliminates the need to customize multiple fixed-length lamps for different scenarios; one design can meet the needs of multiple scenarios, reducing procurement costs. In subsequent rack expansion or layout adjustments, there is no need to replace the lamps; only the length needs to be adjusted for adaptation, reducing modification and maintenance costs. Simultaneously, the lighting support component, through the mounting plate design, eliminates the need for lighting in the hot aisle at the back of the rack, integrating it into the back of the rack. This maximizes the use of hot aisle space for production cable trays, freeing up server room space and eliminating the need for server room lighting engineering, thereby saving construction costs and shortening the construction period.

[0014] 2. During the assembly of the new server rack lighting structure, the lighting support components rotate via the insert rods to adjust the position of the lighting trough. Simultaneously, the insert rods connect to the lighting trough, and the insert rods rotate via the limit plates to adjust the angle of the lighting trough. The angle is adjustable, allowing for flexible rotation of the lamp head, accurately illuminating local areas such as cable management ports and equipment interfaces. This solves the problem of fixed-angle lamps failing to cover corners and ensures no blind spots during maintenance and other operations. At the same time, the direction of light projection can be adjusted as needed to avoid glare from direct light into the eyes, which can cause eye fatigue, and also to reduce light reflection that can interfere with the observation of equipment indicator lights.
