Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of handling tools technology, and in particular relates to a handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the era of cloud computing, a large number of servers need to be deployed. If the transportation, mounting and unmounting of servers are carried out entirely by manual means, the efficiency will be extremely low, making it difficult to meet the demand of the cloud era for thousands, tens of thousands or even more large-scale server resources.

[0003] Currently, server relocation primarily relies on traditional trailers or manual labor, with server mounting and dismounting mainly done by hand. In data center environments with limited space, this method suffers from low transport efficiency, inconvenient mounting and dismounting operations, and is prone to personnel injury in case of errors. Furthermore, existing server relocation equipment has an overly simplistic structure, making it difficult to connect racks to server rack positions, and it can only transport a limited number of servers at a time, hindering seamless coordination between server transport and mounting / dismounting, resulting in low efficiency.

[0027] In the era of cloud computing, a large number of servers need to be deployed. If the transportation, mounting and unmounting of servers are carried out entirely by manual means, the efficiency will be extremely low, making it difficult to meet the demand of the cloud era for thousands, tens of thousands or even more large-scale server resources.

[0028] Currently, server relocation primarily relies on traditional trailers or manual labor, with server mounting and dismounting mainly done by hand. In data center environments with limited space, this method suffers from low transport efficiency, inconvenient mounting and dismounting operations, and is prone to personnel injury in case of errors. Furthermore, existing server relocation equipment has an overly simplistic structure, making it difficult to connect racks to server rack positions, and it can only transport a limited number of servers at a time, hindering seamless coordination between server transport and mounting / dismounting, resulting in low efficiency.

[0029] In view of this, the present invention provides a handling device that can be used to move servers, aiming to improve the convenience of rack loading and unloading operations and to achieve rapid docking with the rack's U-position.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The handling device includes a frame 1, a hoisting mechanism 3, multiple shelves 4, and a rope 5. The frame 1 has wheels 2 at its bottom for easy movement, and the internal space 10 provides a mounting base for the shelves 4. The hoisting mechanism 3 is located at the top of the frame 1 and drives a drive unit 32 to rotate a reel 31, providing power for raising and lowering the shelves 4. The multiple shelves 4 are movably arranged within the space 10 along the height of the frame 1, allowing for flexible adjustment of the shelf spacing according to the server's height to meet the load-bearing requirements of servers of different sizes. The rope 5 is wound around the reel 31 and connected to the multiple shelves 4; when the reel 31 rotates under the action of the drive unit 32, the rope 5 moves upward or downward accordingly.

[0031] During the upward movement, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 increases sequentially. This can be understood as follows: during the upward movement, counting from top to bottom, the top shelf 4 is lifted first, followed by the next uppermost shelf 4; the spacing between the top shelf 4 and adjacent shelves 4 gradually increases until a preset value is reached; and so on, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 below gradually increases, so that each shelf 4 can form an operating space that conforms to the height of the rack's U-position, making it convenient for operators to smoothly push servers from shelves 4 into the rack or remove them from the rack and place them on shelves 4.

[0032] During the lowering motion, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 decreases sequentially. This can be understood as follows: during the lowering motion, counting from bottom to top, the bottom shelf 4 is lowered to the lowest position first, followed by the shelf 4 of the next lower layer; the spacing between the bottom shelf 4 and its adjacent shelves 4 gradually decreases until a preset value is reached; and so on, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 above gradually decreases, allowing each shelf 4 to be closely packed together (that is, at this time, each shelf 4 is stacked under the accommodating space 10 of the frame 1), so as to facilitate the placement of the server next.

[0033] In practice, when a server needs to be placed, it is first placed on the top shelf 4. Then, the drive device 32 is used to rotate the reel 31 clockwise, lifting the rope 5 and moving the top shelf 4 upwards until sufficient space is created below it to accommodate one server. The server is then placed smoothly on the lower shelf 4. After placement, the drive device 32 is restarted, causing the reel 31 to continue rotating clockwise, further lifting the rope 5 and causing the shelf 4 with the server and the shelf 4 above it to rise synchronously, making room for the next server. Following this procedure, servers can be placed sequentially on each shelf 4. After all servers are in place, each server on each shelf 4 corresponds to a U-position in the server rack.

[0034] When mounting the server, simply push the handling equipment next to the rack so that shelf 4 is flush with the target U-position in the rack, and then push the server directly from shelf 4 into the rack, thus achieving a quick connection between the server and the rack U-position.

[0035] When it is necessary to remove the servers from the handling equipment, the servers on the bottom shelf 4 can be taken out. Then, by operating the drive device 32, the reel 31 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the rope 5 is in the lowering state, allowing the next lower shelf 4 to be lowered onto the bottom shelf 4, making it easier for the operator to remove the servers on that shelf 4. By repeating this process in sequence, removing the servers from each shelf 4 from bottom to top, the unloading of all servers can be completed.

[0036] The handling device provided by this utility model includes a frame 1, a hoisting mechanism 3, multiple shelves 4, and a rope 5. The bottom of the frame 1 is provided with a wheel 2, and the interior of the frame 1 forms a receiving space 10. The hoisting mechanism 3 is located at the top of the frame 1 and includes a reel 31 and a driving device 32 for driving the reel 31 to rotate. The multiple shelves 4 are movably arranged in the receiving space 10 along the height direction of the frame 1, and the shelves 4 are used to support the server. The rope 5 is wound around the reel 31 and connected to the multiple shelves 4. The rope 5 has an upward movement state and a downward movement state as the reel 31 rotates. In the upward movement state, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 increases sequentially; in the downward movement state, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 decreases sequentially. This utility model embodiment achieves the orderly lifting and lowering of multiple shelves 4 in the height direction through the cooperative structure of the hoisting mechanism 3 and the rope 5. When the reel 31 of the hoisting mechanism 3 rotates, the rope 5 drives the shelves 4 to move upward or downward. During the lifting motion, the spacing between adjacent shelves 4 increases sequentially. When mounting, servers are placed only on the lower shelf 4 at a time, and the servers align with the U-position height of the rack as the rope 5 is raised, facilitating quick transfer into the rack. During the lowering motion, shelves 4 descend sequentially to their lowest position, and servers are removed only from the lower shelf 4 at a time. Therefore, operators do not need to repeatedly bend over or stand on tiptoe, significantly reducing the labor intensity of manual operations and avoiding the risk of injury due to improper operation. Simultaneously, the alignment of shelves 4 with the rack U-position ensures a seamless connection between server mounting and dismounting processes, effectively improving the overall efficiency of large-scale server deployment.

[0037] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 Considering that at least two connection points are needed between the shelf 4 and the rope 5 for uniform lifting, auxiliary wheels 33 are added to achieve uniform lifting of the shelf 4 without increasing the drive device 32. Specifically, the hoisting mechanism 3 also includes two auxiliary wheels 33, which are rotatably mounted on the top of the frame 1; the rope 5 includes a middle section, two secondary middle sections adjacent to the middle section, and two ends adjacent to the two secondary middle sections respectively; wherein, the middle section is wound around the reel 31, the two secondary middle sections are wound around the two auxiliary wheels 33 respectively, and the two ends extend downward and are circumferentially connected to the multiple shelf 4, and the free ends extending out after connection are fixed to the bottom of the frame 1.

[0038] The rotation direction of the reel 31 is coordinated with the winding direction of the auxiliary wheel 33, so that the two ends of the rope 5 rise or fall synchronously when the reel 31 rotates. For example, when the reel 31 rotates clockwise, the middle part is wound around the reel 31, causing the two secondary middle parts to emerge from above or below the two auxiliary wheels 33 respectively, thereby causing the two ends to lift the shelf 4 synchronously upwards; when the reel 31 rotates counterclockwise, the middle part is released from the reel 31, and the two secondary middle parts, guided by the auxiliary wheels 33, cause the two ends to relax synchronously downwards, and the shelf 4 descends with the rope 5 under its own weight. Through this winding method, the two ends of the rope 5 are connected to different positions around the shelf 4 (such as opposite sides or diagonal positions), which can form a balanced tension on the shelf 4 during the lifting process.

[0039] This embodiment of the invention, by setting two auxiliary wheels 33 at the top of the frame 1 and optimizing the winding path of the rope 5, connects the two ends of the rope 5 to different positions around the shelf 4, which facilitates the stable lowering of the shelf 4. Moreover, since only one drive device 32 is needed to apply tension to multiple points on the shelf 4, the overall structure of the equipment is effectively simplified.

[0040] In some embodiments, please continue reading Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To further improve the stability of the shelf 4, tension is applied at four points. Specifically, two reels 31 and two ropes 5 are provided, with the middle parts of the two ropes 5 respectively wound around the reels 31; the shelf 4 is provided with four connecting parts 41 spaced apart in the circumferential direction; each rope 5 is connected to two connecting parts 41 of the shelf 4 respectively.

[0041] Each rope body 5 has two ends, so the two rope bodies 5 have four ends. These four ends are respectively connected to the four connecting parts 41 of the shelf 4, and the four connecting parts 41 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the shelf 4, for example, respectively set at the four corner positions of the shelf 4.

[0042] When the hoisting mechanism 3 drives the two reels 31 to rotate synchronously, the ends of the two ropes 5 apply upward tension or downward relaxation force to the four connecting parts 41 of the shelf 4, respectively, so that the shelf 4 can remain horizontal during the lifting and lowering process, avoiding tilting or swaying due to uneven force. This four-point connection method, compared with two-point or two-point symmetrical connection, can further improve the stability of the shelf 4 when carrying the server, ensuring the safety of the server during transportation and unloading.

[0043] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4To avoid interference between the ropes 5, the positions of the connecting parts 41 corresponding to the ropes 5 were optimized. Specifically, the four connecting parts 41 are a first connecting part 41a, a second connecting part 41b, a third connecting part 41c, and a fourth connecting part 41d arranged sequentially in the circumferential direction. The two ends of one rope 5 are connected to the first connecting part 41a and the second connecting part 41b, and the two ends of the other rope 5 are connected to the third connecting part 41c and the fourth connecting part 41d.

[0044] In other words, the first connecting part 41a and the second connecting part 41b are located on one side of the shelf 4, while the third connecting part 41c and the fourth connecting part 41d are located on the opposite side of the shelf 4. The connection positions of the ends of the two ropes 5 on the shelf 4 are distributed on both sides. This layout can effectively avoid the problem of the two ropes 5 getting tangled or interfering with each other due to the intersection of paths during the raising and lowering of the shelf 4. For example, when the shelf 4 is in the rising or lowering motion, the ropes 5 connected to the first connecting part 41a and the second connecting part 41b on one side of the shelf 4, and the ropes 5 connected to the third connecting part 41c and the fourth connecting part 41d on the opposite side, each move along the inner edge area of ​​the frame 1, forming a certain safe distance between them, thereby ensuring the independence and smoothness of the movement of the ropes 5.

[0045] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 In order to drive the rotation of two reels 31 using only one motor 321, a transmission assembly 322 is added. Specifically, the drive device 32 includes a motor 321 and a transmission assembly 322. The transmission assembly 322 is connected to the output end of the motor 321 and the two reels 31 respectively, so as to transmit the power of the motor 321 to the two reels 31 and drive the reels 31 to rotate synchronously.

[0046] The transmission assembly 322 can have various structural forms. For example, it can employ a gear transmission structure, including a meshing drive gear and a driven gear. The drive gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 321. When the motor 321 drives the drive gear to rotate, the drive gear drives one winding wheel 31 to rotate, and the driven gear drives the other winding wheel 31 to rotate. Alternatively, it can use a belt drive structure, including a drive pulley, two driven pulleys, and a transmission belt. The drive pulley is mounted on the output shaft of the motor 321, and the two driven pulleys are respectively mounted on the axles of the two winding wheels 31. The transmission belt is wound between the drive pulley and the two driven pulleys, transmitting the power of the motor 321 to the two driven pulleys through the friction of the belt, thus achieving synchronous rotation of the two winding wheels 31. Finally, it can use a chain drive structure, connecting the drive sprocket to the two driven sprockets via a chain, which also achieves the effect of driving the two winding wheels 31 to rotate synchronously. By setting up the transmission component 322, only one motor 321 is needed to drive the two rollers 31 to work together. This not only simplifies the structure of the drive system and reduces the manufacturing cost and maintenance difficulty of the equipment, but also ensures that the rotation speed and direction of the two rollers 31 are consistent, thereby ensuring that the tension of the rope 5 on the shelf 4 is balanced and further improving the stability of the shelf 4 during the lifting process.

[0047] In some embodiments, to ensure more stable force transmission in the transmission assembly 322, a gear transmission method is used. Specifically, the transmission assembly 322 includes a driving gear and a driven gear that mesh with each other; the driving gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor 321, the driving gear is fixedly connected to a reel 31, and the driven gear is fixedly connected to another reel 31.

[0048] When motor 321 starts, the output shaft drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear drives the driven gear to rotate in the opposite direction through tooth meshing. Since the drive gear is fixedly connected to one of the rollers 31 and the driven gear is fixedly connected to the other roller 31, the two rollers 31 will achieve synchronous reverse rotation under the drive of the drive gear and the driven gear. This gear transmission method has the advantages of high transmission efficiency, precise transmission ratio, compact structure and reliable operation. It can ensure that the two rollers 31 maintain a stable speed relationship during rotation, so that the two ends of the rope 5 connected to the rollers 31 can synchronously apply tension or relaxation force to the shelf 4, avoiding tilting or shaking of the shelf 4 due to inconsistent speed of the rollers 31, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the lifting and lowering of the shelf 4, and providing reliable protection for the safe handling and loading / unloading operations of the server.

[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The end of the shelf is provided with a guide protrusion 44, which can be embedded in the U-position hole of the cabinet column or the end hole of the guide rail in the cabinet.

[0050] In practice, once the handling equipment is pushed to the side of the rack and the shelf 4 is aligned with the target U-position, the guide protrusion 44 at the end of the shelf 4 can directly embed into the end hole of the guide rail inside the rack's upright U-position hole. At this point, because the server has a sliding plate at its bottom and the rack has horizontally extending slide rails, the operator can push the server, allowing it to slide smoothly along the shelf 4 onto the rack's slide rails, achieving seamless docking between the server and the rack U-position. The guide protrusion 44 provides positioning and guidance during the docking process, effectively preventing server jamming or collisions caused by misalignment between the shelf 4 and the rack U-position, further improving the smoothness and accuracy of the server racking operation. Simultaneously, the guide protrusion 44 also limits the server's lateral displacement during sliding to a certain extent, ensuring the server accurately enters the target U-position, reducing the difficulty and error rate of manual operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 To achieve a fixed connection between the rope 5 and the shelf 4, a clamp assembly 6 is added. Specifically, the shelf 4 has a connecting hole 42, through which the rope 5 passes; a clamp assembly 6 is provided between the hole wall of the connecting hole 42 and the rope 5 to connect the shelf 4 to the rope 5.

[0052] The clamp assembly 6 can have various structural forms. For example, the clamp assembly 6 can be a clamp structure composed of two arc-shaped metal plates. The inner side of the arc-shaped metal plates has anti-slip textures, and the outer side has bolts and nuts for fastening. After the rope 5 passes through the connecting hole 42 of the layer plate 4, the two arc-shaped metal plates are wrapped around the gap between the rope 5 and the wall of the connecting hole 42. By tightening the bolts, the arc-shaped metal plates are tightened. The friction between the anti-slip textures and the surface of the rope 5, as well as the extrusion force of the metal plates on the wall of the connecting hole 42, firmly fixes the layer plate 4 to the rope 5. Alternatively, the clamp assembly 6 can also be a locking structure with wedge blocks. A wedge groove is opened on the inner wall of the connecting hole 42. After the rope 5 passes through, the wedge block is hammered into the groove, so that the wedge block clamps the rope 5 and the hole wall, realizing the rapid fixation of the layer plate 4 and the rope 5. The clamp assembly 6 effectively prevents the shelf 4 from slipping relative to the rope 5 during lifting, ensuring that the shelf 4 moves synchronously with the rope 5 and thus guaranteeing the stability of the server during transportation. Simultaneously, the detachable design of the clamp assembly 6 facilitates individual replacement and maintenance of the rope 5 or the shelf 4, reducing equipment maintenance costs. Furthermore, the detachable installation of the clamp assembly 6 between the rope 5 and the shelf 4 also allows for adjustment of the distance between the shelves 4 to accommodate the loading and unloading of servers of different heights.

[0053] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4The clamp assembly 6 adopts a combination structure of a clamping member 61 and a bayonet end 62. Specifically, the clamping member 61 is located on one side of the shelf 4, and the outer diameter of the clamping member 61 is larger than the diameter of the connecting hole 42; the bayonet end 62 includes a bayonet body 621 and a flange portion 622 extending outward from the bayonet body 621. The bayonet body 621 hugs the rope 5 and extends into the connecting hole 42, while the flange portion 622 abuts against the other side of the shelf 4 to position the shelf 4 on the rope 5.

[0054] The clamping component 61 can be a ring nut or a washer. After the rope 5 passes through the clamping component 61 and the connecting hole 42 of the shelf 4 in sequence, the clamping body 621 is fitted onto the end of the rope 5 that extends out of the connecting hole 42. The clamping body 621 is squeezed and deformed by a special tool to tightly hug the rope 5. At the same time, the flange 622 presses against the other side surface of the shelf 4, forming a clamping structure with the clamping component 61, firmly holding the shelf 4 between them. This combined clamping component 6 is easy to install. The rigid connection between the rope 5 and the shelf 4 can be achieved by mechanical compression. The connection strength is high and can withstand the gravity generated when the server is placed and the dynamic load during the lifting and lowering of the shelf 4.

[0055] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 To facilitate verification of whether the server positions within frame 1 match the target positions within the rack, a scale 11 was added to the side of frame 1. Specifically, this scale 11 extends along the height direction.

[0056] When placing or removing servers, operators can visually determine whether the height of the current shelf 4 matches the target U-position or operational requirements of the rack by observing the corresponding position of the edge of shelf 4 and scale 11, thus avoiding servers being incorrectly placed on the wrong shelf 4 or height deviations occurring during racking.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 To avoid requiring additional power during transport and to prevent the equipment from becoming top-heavy, the power supply module of the hoisting mechanism 3 has been optimized. Specifically, the hoisting mechanism 3 also includes a battery module 34 electrically connected to the drive unit 32, and the battery module 34 is located at the bottom of the frame 1.

[0058] By placing the battery module 34 at the bottom of the frame 1, it not only provides independent power support for the drive unit 32, eliminating reliance on external power sources and enhancing the flexibility and portability of the handling equipment in different working scenarios, but also increases the counterweight at the bottom of the frame 1 using the weight of the battery module 34. This effectively lowers the center of gravity of the frame 1, making the overall structure of the handling equipment more stable after loading the server, reducing the risk of tipping over due to a higher center of gravity. Furthermore, the installation position at the bottom of the frame 1 facilitates the removal and replacement of the battery module 34. When the battery power is low, operators can quickly replace it with a spare battery, ensuring the continuous working capability of the handling equipment and further improving the efficiency of the equipment.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 Considering that the server may shake or slip during transportation after being placed on shelf 4, a latch is added. Specifically, shelf 4 has multiple limiting holes 43 in the circumferential direction, which are inserted into the latch to restrict the movement of the server on shelf 4.

[0060] The latches can be either elastic snaps or rotary locks. After the server is placed on shelf 4, the latches are inserted into the corresponding limiting holes 43. The latch's locking tongue or claws engage with the bottom or side grooves of the server, creating a mechanical limit. For example, after the elastic snap is inserted into the limiting hole 43, its built-in spring automatically springs open and locks into the edge of the server. The rotary lock, on the other hand, uses a rotating handle to screw the locking rod into a pre-set screw hole on the server, achieving double fixation. This limiting method effectively prevents the server from sliding, tipping, or colliding due to inertia during the lifting of shelf 4 or movement of transport equipment, ensuring the structural safety of the server during transportation.
