[0047] Example 1

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the first aspect of this application provides a server rack, including a rack body 1 and an expansion structure 2; the rack body 1 has a first plane 11 and a second plane 12, the first plane 11 and the second plane 12 satisfying a vertical condition; the expansion structure 2 is connected to one side of the rack body 1, the expansion structure 2 includes a first structure 21 and a second structure 22; the first structure 21 includes a plurality of first tubes arranged along the first plane 11, the plurality of first tubes enclosing a first region 23 within the first plane 11; the second structure 22 connects two first structures 21 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the second structure 22 includes a plurality of second tubes arranged along the second plane 12, the plurality of second tubes enclosing a second region 24 within the second plane 12; the second region 24 and the first region 23 are used for cable routing.

[0049] Specifically, the server rack of this application is provided with a cabinet 1 and an expansion structure 2. The expansion structure 2 is connected to one side of the cabinet 1, which gives the server rack more space for equipment layout and cable routing. The expansion structure 2 makes the server rack suitable for high-density deployment scenarios, multi-directional cabling scenarios, non-standard topology scenarios, equipment expansion scenarios, etc. of server systems, supports modular assembly and flexible expansion, and improves the applicability of the server rack.

[0050] This application provides an extension structure 2 comprising a first structure 21 and a second structure 22. The first structure 21 includes multiple first tubes arranged along a first plane 11. The second structure 22 connects two parallel and spaced-apart first structures 21 and includes multiple second tubes arranged along a second plane 12, forming a tube frame structure through the multiple first and second tubes. Compared to solid rods, sheet metal bending parts, and perforated plates, this application uses a tube structure as the basic component of the extension structure 2, which is beneficial because the tubes balance structural strength and lightweight characteristics. Simultaneously, the tubes themselves occupy less space, providing a larger area for cable routing. The first structure 21 and the second structure 22 can be assembled using a fixture for positioning and welding.

[0051] The first and second tubes can be in various forms such as square tubes, round tubes, hexagonal tubes, and flat tubes. The specific structural form is not limited. As long as they can provide a sufficiently rigid frame-like expansion structure 2 through connection, they can provide stable support for the cable deployment of the server system in scenarios such as transportation and installation.

[0052] Cabinet 1 has a first plane 11 and a second plane 12. The first plane 11 and the second plane 12 satisfy the vertical condition. The first plane 11 of cabinet 1 can be the plane where the side panel of cabinet 1 is located, and the second plane 12 of cabinet 1 can be the plane where the top or bottom plate of cabinet 1 is located. The first area 23 enclosed by multiple first tubes in the first plane 11 and the second area 24 enclosed by multiple second tubes in the second plane 12 provide unobstructed cable-passing areas within the first plane 11 and the second plane 12 for the cables in the server system. This allows for flexible cable routing, effectively alleviates the spatial conflicts caused by high-density cabling, avoids the restriction of cable layout by metal plates, dense mesh panels or closed side doors, and eliminates the need for cables to enter or exit through specific openings. This increases the flexibility of cable layout and ensures the usage requirements of cable layout within different server systems.

[0053] Furthermore, the extended structure 2, through the unobstructed cable routing areas provided by the first area 23 and the second area 24, facilitates cable arrangement and routing. At the same time, it can form a pipe frame structure through multiple first and second pipes to enclose an extended space relative to the cabinet 1. This frees up equipment installation space inside the server cabinet, avoiding problems such as cable crossing, tangling, squeezing, and bending caused by limited deployment space. This improves the convenience and neatness of cabling, while also facilitating heat dissipation inside the server cabinet and ensuring the stable operation of the server system under high load conditions. It can also support inter-cabinet cabling in server cabinet clusters of any system and any configuration, improving the flexibility of server system layout and meeting the needs of different customers.

[0054] This application provides a server rack, including a rack body 1 and an expansion structure 2; the rack body 1 has a first plane 11 and a second plane 12, the first plane 11 and the second plane 12 satisfying a vertical condition; the expansion structure 2 is connected to one side of the rack body 1, the expansion structure 2 includes a first structure 21 and a second structure 22; the first structure 21 includes a plurality of first tubes arranged along the first plane 11, the plurality of first tubes enclosing a first region 23 within the first plane 11; the second structure 22 connects two first structures 21 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, the second structure 22 includes a plurality of second tubes arranged along the second plane 12, the plurality of second tubes enclosing a second region 24 within the second plane 12; the second region 24 and the first region 23 are used for cable routing. This application provides support for the expansion of the server system and space for cable routing by setting an extension structure 2 consisting of multiple first tubes and multiple second tubes on one side of the cabinet 1. The first area 23 enclosed by the multiple first tubes within the first plane 11 and the second area 24 enclosed by the multiple second tubes within the second plane 12 provide unobstructed cable routing areas within the first plane 11 and the second plane 12, allowing for flexible cable routing. This effectively alleviates spatial conflicts caused by high-density cabling, avoids restrictions on cable routing due to metal plates, dense mesh panels, or closed side doors, and eliminates the need for cables to enter or exit through specific openings, increasing the flexibility of cable routing and ensuring the usability requirements of different server system internal cable layouts. Through the application of this application, the technical problem of server cabinet frames using solid metal plates, dense mesh panels, or closed side doors, which restrict cable entry and exit to the top, bottom, or specific openings, severely impacts the flexibility of cable routing and increases the difficulty of server cabinet cable management.

[0055] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, a plurality of first tubes include a first sub-tube 211 and a third sub-tube 212, the first sub-tube 211 extending along a first direction A and the third sub-tube 212 extending along a third direction C; a plurality of second tubes include a second sub-tube 221, the second sub-tube 221 extending along a second direction B, the second sub-tube 221 connecting the first sub-tube 211 and / or the third sub-tube 212; the first direction A, the second direction B and the third direction C satisfy a perpendicular condition to each other.

[0056] Specifically, this application sets up multiple first tubes including a first sub-tube 211 extending along a first direction A and a third sub-tube 212 extending along a third direction C, and multiple second tubes including a second sub-tube 221 extending along a second direction B, so that the first sub-tube 211, the second sub-tube 221, and the third sub-tube 212 extend along mutually perpendicular first directions A, second directions B, and third directions C, respectively, forming a three-dimensional orthogonal tubular skeleton. In some embodiments, the first region 23 located in the first plane 11 can provide a path for passing through in the second direction B, the second region 24 located in the second plane 12 can provide a path for passing through in the first direction A, and the third sub-tube 212 extends along the third direction C so that the tubular skeleton can provide space for the parallel interlacing of multiple cables, meeting the needs of complex and high-density wiring.

[0057] In some embodiments, this application provides a second sub-tube 221 connected to the first sub-tube 211, but not connected to the third sub-tube 212, so that the second sub-tube 221 and the first sub-tube 211 form a load-bearing frame, and the third sub-tube 212 is not constrained in the second direction B and can adjust its relative position with the first sub-tube 211 to meet the morphological construction requirements of different extended structures 2.

[0058] In some embodiments, this application provides a second sub-tube 221 connected to a third sub-tube 212, but not connected to the first sub-tube 211, so that the second sub-tube 221 and the third sub-tube 212 can form a pre-assembled modular frame, and the third sub-tube 212 is attached to the first tube body 211, which facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance.

[0059] In some embodiments, this application provides a second sub-tube 221 that connects the first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212. The first sub-tube 211, the second sub-tube 221, and the third sub-tube 212 extend along mutually perpendicular first directions A, second directions B, and third directions C, respectively, forming a three-dimensional orthogonal tubular skeleton. The three sub-tubes are firmly connected at the spatial intersection, which improves the overall torsional stiffness and bending resistance of the extension structure 2, effectively preventing structural deformation, shaking, or loosening of connections caused by the weight of the cable itself or external impact, and improving the overall stability and reliability of the server rack.

[0060] The connection between the first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212 can be achieved through various methods such as welding or screw connection, with no specific limitation. Similarly, the connection between the second sub-tube 221 and the first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212 can also be achieved through welding or screw connection, with no specific limitation. The goal is to ensure a stable connection that forms a three-dimensional orthogonal tubular skeleton.

[0061] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, at least two third sub-tubes 212 are connected between two parallel and spaced first sub-tubes 211, and the two parallel and spaced first sub-tubes 211 and the two parallel and spaced third sub-tubes 212 enclose a first region 23; the two parallel and spaced second sub-tubes 221 and the two parallel and spaced third sub-tubes 212 enclose a second region 24.

[0062] Specifically, this application sets two parallel spaced first sub-pipes 211 connected to at least two third sub-pipes 212. The two parallel spaced first sub-pipes 211 and the two parallel spaced third sub-pipes 212 form a rectangular frame structure with stable structure and strong resistance to deformation. The middle part of the rectangular frame structure is a first region 23 enclosed by a rectangle. The first region 23 provides an open through channel, allowing cables to pass horizontally out or in at any position in the height direction of the server rack.

[0063] This application can also form a rectangular frame structure with strong structural stability and strong resistance to deformation by setting two parallel and spaced second sub-pipes 221 and two parallel and spaced third sub-pipes 212. The middle part of the rectangular frame structure is a second region 24 enclosed by a rectangle. The second region 24 provides an open through channel, allowing cables to pass through or out along the height of the server rack.

[0064] Furthermore, the third sub-tube 212 provided in this application can be reused as a shared boundary component of the first region 23 and the second region 24, reducing the number of parts, simplifying the assembly process, and enhancing the overall connection tightness of the extension structure 2, thereby improving the overall rigidity and ensuring the stability of the structure. Moreover, the third sub-tube 212 can be detachably connected relative to the first sub-tube 211, providing adjustable relative position to meet the cable routing and wiring requirements in different scenarios.

[0065] Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, two third sub-tubes 212 are respectively connected to the two ends of two first sub-tubes 211 in the first direction A.

[0066] Specifically, this application sets two third sub-tubes 212 to be connected to the two ends of the two first sub-tubes 211 in the first direction A, so that the four sub-tubes form a complete and closed rectangular frame, thereby improving the overall rigidity and torsional resistance of the first structure 21. At the same time, a first area 23 with sufficient area is provided within the rectangular frame to facilitate flexible cable routing.

[0067] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the second sub-tube 221 is connected to the first sub-tube 211 and / or the third sub-tube 212 via a connecting component 222; the connecting component 222 is bent.

[0068] Specifically, in some embodiments, this application sets the second sub-tube 221 to be connected to the first sub-tube 211 through the connecting component 222. The connecting component 222 forms a stable angular node at the intersection of the second sub-tube 221 and the first sub-tube 211, thereby achieving reliable fixation between the tubes in the first direction A and the second direction B.

[0069] In other embodiments, the present application sets the second sub-tube 221 to be connected to the third sub-tube 212 through the connecting component 222. The connecting component 222 forms a stable corner node at the intersection of the second sub-tube 221 and the third sub-tube 212, thereby achieving reliable fixation between the tubes in the second direction B and the third direction C.

[0070] In other embodiments, this application provides that the second sub-tube 221 is connected to the first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212 via a connecting component 222. Since the first sub-tube 211, the second sub-tube 221, and the third sub-tube 212 extend along mutually perpendicular first directions A, second directions B, and third directions C, respectively, there are spatial angle differences at the connection positions where they contact each other. This application provides a bent connecting component 222 to achieve simultaneous connection between the second sub-tube 221 and the first sub-tube 211, and simultaneously connection between the second sub-tube 221 and the third sub-tube 212, so as to flexibly match the included angles between the sub-tubes in different directions, realize the angular connection between the first sub-tube 211 and the second sub-tube 221, and between the second sub-tube 221 and the third sub-tube 212 in the extended structure 2, and improve the connection strength.

[0071] In some embodiments, the second sub-tube 221 and the first sub-tube 211 may have different inner diameters to enable the insertion of the two sub-tubes. The second sub-tube 221 and the third sub-tube 212 may also have different inner diameters to enable the insertion of each other. The first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212 may have the same inner diameter, which is larger than the inner diameter of the second sub-tube 221. The end of the second sub-tube 221 may have a plug fitting with two plugs, one plug being bent from the second direction B to the third direction C, and the other plug being bent from the second direction B to the first direction A. Thus, the second sub-tube 221 can be simultaneously connected to the first sub-tube 211 and the third sub-tube 212 through the two plugs.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, each of the two first sub-tubes 211 has a first mounting hole on the side facing the first region 23, and the third sub-tube 212 has mounting seats 213 at both ends on the third direction C, and the mounting seats 213 have second mounting holes; when the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole are opposite each other, the first fastener 2131 can be inserted so that the third sub-tube 212 is connected to the first sub-tube 211.

[0073] Specifically, this application provides first mounting holes on the side of each of the two first sub-tubes 211 facing the first region 23, and mounting seats 213 are provided at both ends of the third sub-tube 212 in the third direction C. Each mounting seat 213 has a second mounting hole. When the first mounting holes and second mounting holes are aligned, the third sub-tube 212 can be stably connected between the two first sub-tubes 211 by using first fasteners 2131 such as bolts, screws, and pins, preventing misalignment, tilting, or loosening during installation. Furthermore, multiple spaced first mounting holes can be provided on the first sub-tubes 211. By quickly installing and removing the first fasteners 2131, the position of the third sub-tube 212 on the first sub-tube 211 can be adjusted, or multiple third sub-tubes 212 can be deployed, thereby improving the overall stability of the first structure 21 while meeting cable routing requirements.

[0074] In some embodiments, in order to achieve a stable connection between the extension structure 2 and the cabinet 1, the present application may provide a third mounting hole on the side of the first sub-tube 211 away from the first region 23, and a fourth mounting hole on the cabinet 1. The third mounting hole and the fourth mounting hole can be used to pass through second fasteners such as bolts, screws, and pins, so that the first sub-tube 211 is connected to one side of the cabinet 1.

[0075] In some embodiments, in order to achieve a stable connection between the extension structure 2 and the cabinet 1, the present application may also provide a fifth mounting hole on the side of the second sub-tube 221 away from the second region 24, and a sixth mounting hole on the cabinet 1. The fifth mounting hole and the sixth mounting hole can be used to pass through a third fastener such as a bolt, screw, or pin, so that the second sub-tube 221 is connected to one side of the cabinet 1.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the first structure 21 is provided with a first sealing plate assembly 214, which is movably connected to the first tube body and can at least partially cover the first region 23.

[0077] Specifically, to balance the flexibility and safety of cable routing provided by this application, a first sealing plate assembly 214 is provided in the first structure 21. The first sealing plate assembly 214 is movably connected to the first conduit and can at least partially cover the first area 23. This allows the first sealing plate assembly 214 to flexibly shield the first structure 21 according to the area occupied by the cable in the first area 23 after cable routing is completed, preventing accidental contact by personnel, foreign objects falling in, or accidental cable pulling, thus improving the safety protection capability of the server rack. Furthermore, the movable connection between the first sealing plate assembly 214 and the first conduit facilitates disassembly when adding, replacing, or repairing cables or the server system. In addition, by partially or completely covering the first area 23 with the first sealing plate assembly 214, this application can improve the appearance consistency and visual neatness of the server rack after cabling is completed, and also prevent dust from entering the cable channel, reducing the risk of server corrosion and poor heat dissipation caused by dust accumulation, and extending the service life of the cables and server system.

[0078] This application can configure the first sealing plate assembly 214 in different forms to meet the needs of different customers and different application scenarios. It can not only meet the installation requirements of the sealing plate as a standard part, but also realize the installation of the first sealing plate assembly 214 of different sizes through the size specifications of the first structure 21. This facilitates the rapid development of sealing plates to meet application requirements and saves manpower, material resources and time costs.

[0079] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the second structure 22 is provided with a second sealing plate assembly 223, which is movably connected to the second tube body and can move toward the first tube body to at least partially cover the second region 24.

[0080] Specifically, to balance the flexibility and safety of cable routing provided by this application, a second sealing plate assembly 223 is provided in the second structure 22. The second sealing plate assembly 223 is movably connected to the second pipe and can move towards the first pipe, at least partially covering the second area 24. This allows the second sealing plate assembly 223 to flexibly shield the second structure 22 according to the area occupied by the cable in the second area 24 after cable routing is completed, preventing accidental contact by personnel, foreign objects falling in, or accidental cable pulling, thus improving the safety protection capability of the server rack. Furthermore, the movable connection between the second sealing plate assembly 223 and the second pipe facilitates disassembly when adding, replacing, or repairing cables or the server system. In addition, by partially or completely covering the second area 24 with the second sealing plate assembly 223, this application can improve the appearance consistency and visual neatness of the server rack after cabling is completed, and also prevent dust from entering the cable channel, reducing the risk of server corrosion and poor heat dissipation caused by dust accumulation, and extending the service life of the cables and server system.

[0081] This application can configure second sealing plate components 223 in different forms to meet the needs of different customers and different application scenarios. It can not only meet the installation requirements of sealing plates as standard parts, but also realize the installation of second sealing plate components 223 of different sizes through the size specifications of the second structure 22, which facilitates the rapid development of sealing plates to meet application requirements and saves manpower, material resources and time costs.

[0089] The server system provided in this application can be a rack server system, blade server system, high-density server system, storage server system, hyper-converged server system, etc., and is not limited to any specific type. The server body is the hardware device used in the server system, such as computing unit, power unit, storage unit, and switch. The server body is connected to cables to realize cluster communication connection with server systems in adjacent server racks or external power supply.

[0090] To facilitate the orderly routing and cabling management of high-density cables within the server rack, this application utilizes a server rack comprising a cabinet 1 and an expansion structure 2. This provides support for server system expansion, space for cable routing, and allows for inter-rack cabling within server rack clusters of any system and configuration. This enhances the flexibility of server system layout and meets diverse customer needs. A first area 23 enclosed by multiple first conduits within a first plane 11 and a second area 24 enclosed by multiple second conduits within a second plane 12 provide unobstructed cable routing areas within both planes 11 and 12. This allows for flexible cable routing, effectively mitigating spatial conflicts caused by high-density cabling. It avoids restrictions on cable routing imposed by metal plates, dense mesh panels, or enclosed side doors, and eliminates the need for cables to enter or exit through specific openings. This increases the flexibility of cable routing and ensures the usability of different server system internal cable layouts.
