Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of installation mechanism technology, and in particular to an installation mechanism for a server rack. Background Technology

[0002] The installation environment for server racks is becoming increasingly complex, and the size and weight of server racks are increasing. In scenarios involving high-altitude operations, the lifting equipment and scaffolding erected after the server rack is installed are not left in place. If the server rack needs to be replaced during operation and maintenance, the disassembly and assembly require contacting lifting equipment or erecting scaffolding again, which is costly and inconvenient.

[0003] To improve the efficiency of on-site installation and maintenance, reduce operation and maintenance costs, and avoid damage to the original site environment, such as for some cabinets installed on the exterior of buildings in industrial and commercial settings, it is necessary to design a universal installation mechanism based on the existing cabinet mounting brackets to avoid drilling holes in the wall to install expansion bolts. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a cabinet installation mechanism, which aims to improve the convenience of installing and maintaining cabinets when working at heights and reduce operation and maintenance costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: This utility model provides a cabinet installation mechanism, including a bracket and a crossbeam. The crossbeam is detachably connected to the bracket, and the lower end of the bracket forms a plug-in end that connects to the rack of the cabinet. During installation, the plug-in end is inserted into the inner cavity of the rack of the cabinet, so that the installation mechanism is installed on the rack of the cabinet.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a limiting member, which is disposed on the side of the bracket and arranged near the plug-in end.

[0007] Furthermore, a first lifting ring is provided on the crossbeam.

[0008] Furthermore, the crossbeam is also provided with a nut, and the first lifting ring is locked to the nut.

[0009] Furthermore, the crossbeam is connected to the bracket via a connecting member.

[0010] Furthermore, the support includes an upright, a diagonal brace, and a horizontal bar. One end of the horizontal bar is fixedly connected to the top of the upright, the upper end of the diagonal brace is connected to the other end of the horizontal bar, the lower end of the diagonal brace is connected to the upright, and the crossbeam is connected between the two ends of the horizontal bar.

[0011] Furthermore, two of the aforementioned supports are arranged side by side at intervals, and a crossbeam is provided on the top of the two aforementioned supports.

[0012] Furthermore, the first lifting ring is provided near both ends of the crossbeam.

[0013] Furthermore, the first lifting ring is located on the outside of the bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting device, which includes a hand chain hoist, a fixed hook, and a movable hook. The fixed hook is located at the fixed end of the hand chain hoist and is connected to the first lifting ring. The movable hook is located at the movable end of the hand chain hoist and is used to connect to the second lifting ring of the cabinet.

[0015] The advantages of this utility model compared to the prior art are as follows: A cabinet mounting mechanism includes a bracket and a crossbeam. The crossbeam is detachably connected to the bracket, and the lower end of the bracket forms a plug-in end for connecting to the cabinet's mounting bracket. During installation, the plug-in end is inserted into the inner cavity of the cabinet's mounting bracket, so that the mounting mechanism is installed on the cabinet's mounting bracket. Because the bracket's plug-in end is directly connected to the cabinet's mounting bracket, there is no need to use screws for installation and fixation, which improves the convenience of operation and maintenance and reduces operation and maintenance costs.

[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0021] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0022] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited.

Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0025] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment of the utility model provides a cabinet installation mechanism, including a bracket 1 and a crossbeam 2. The crossbeam 2 extends horizontally and is detachably connected to the bracket 1. The detachable connection can be achieved through snap-fit ​​connection, pin connection, or bolt assembly connection, etc. The bracket 1 extends vertically overall, and its lower end forms a plug-in end 111 that connects to the rack 100 of the cabinet 200. The shape of the plug-in end 111 is adapted to the inner cavity shape of the rack 100 to ensure smooth insertion into the inner cavity of the rack 100 during installation. During installation, the plug-in end 111 is inserted into the inner cavity of the rack 100, allowing the installation mechanism to be mounted on the rack 100. During actual installation, the operator only needs to align the plug-in end 111 at the lower end of the bracket 1 with the inner opening of the rack 100 in the cabinet, and smoothly insert the plug-in end 111 into the inner cavity of the rack 100 along the extension direction of the rack 100. At this time, the bracket 1 forms a reliable connection with the rack 100 through the plug-in end 111, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the entire installation mechanism on the rack 100 without the need for additional fasteners such as screws and bolts for fixing. This simplifies the installation operation steps, improves the convenience of operation and maintenance, and reduces the operation and maintenance costs.

[0027] In the appendix Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the rack mounting mechanism includes two identical brackets 1 arranged side-by-side horizontally with a gap between them. The spacing between the two brackets matches the arrangement spacing of the rack brackets 100, ensuring that the lower plug-in end 111 of each bracket 1 can be inserted into the cavity of one rack bracket 100 in the rack. A horizontal beam 2 is erected between the tops of the two brackets 1. The horizontal beam 2 extends horizontally, and its length direction is consistent with the arrangement direction of the two brackets 1. The two ends of the horizontal beam 2 are detachably connected to the tops of the two brackets 1.

[0028] The dual brackets 1 are spaced apart and connected to the two hangers 100 of the server rack, respectively. Compared with the single bracket 1 structure, this significantly improves the stability of the connection between the installation mechanism and the server rack, effectively preventing tilting or tipping of the installation mechanism during load-bearing, and providing a stable support foundation for the installation and maintenance of the server rack. At the same time, a single crossbeam 2 spans and connects the two brackets 1, forming a frame-like load-bearing structure. This can evenly distribute the weight of the server rack and the forces exerted during maintenance onto the two brackets 1, avoiding concentrated stress on a single bracket 1 that could lead to structural damage, and significantly improving the overall structural strength and load-bearing capacity of the installation mechanism.

[0029] In some embodiments, the mounting mechanism of the rack further includes a limiting member 3, which is disposed on the side of the bracket 1 and close to the plug-in end 111. Specifically, it can be fixed to the outer wall of the side of the bracket 1, and its arrangement direction is adapted to the insertion direction of the plug-in end 111. It is used to limit the relative position of the bracket 1 and the rack 100 after the plug-in end 111 is inserted into the inner cavity of the rack bracket 100. The limiting member 3 can be a limiting block, an elastic fiber pin, or a bolt, etc.

[0030] It should be noted that a limiting member 3 is provided to ensure that the plug-in end 111 stops when inserted to the preset depth. When the plug-in end 111 is inserted to the preset depth, the limiting member 3 contacts the inner cavity opening end face of the hanger 100, thereby realizing the limiting function.

[0031] In the appendix Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, each of the two brackets 1 has two limiting members 3 arranged on its side. Both limiting members 3 are block-shaped structures made of rigid material and are L-shaped. They are locked to the bracket 1 by welding or screws, one on the left and one on the right. During actual assembly, when the insertion end 111 of the bracket 1 is inserted into the inner cavity of the rack 100 of the cabinet, the bottom of the horizontal plate of the limiting member 3 abuts against the opening end face of the inner cavity of the rack 100, preventing the bracket 1 from continuing to move downward. At the same time, the vertical plate of the limiting member 3 is parallel to the outer wall of the inner cavity of the rack 100, which can limit the bracket 1 from shifting in the left and right direction in the inner cavity of the rack 100.

[0032] In some embodiments, the crossbeam 2 is provided with a first lifting ring 4. The first lifting ring 4 can serve as a connecting structure for lifting the cabinet. The crossbeam 2 is also provided with a nut, which can be rigidly fixed to the crossbeam 2, specifically through welding or integral molding. The first lifting ring 4 is locked to the nut.

[0033] In the appendix Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, nuts are welded to both ends of the crossbeam 2. The lower end of the first lifting ring 4 is provided with an external thread, which is adapted to the internal thread of the nut. During assembly, the external thread end of the first lifting ring 4 is aligned with the internal thread hole of the nut, and the threads of the two are engaged by rotating the first lifting ring 4. The first lifting ring 4 is continuously tightened until the first lifting ring 4 and the nut are tightly fitted, thus achieving reliable locking. If the first lifting ring 4 needs to be removed, it can be unscrewed from the nut simply by rotating the first lifting ring 4 in the opposite direction, which is convenient to operate.

[0034] The threaded locking connection between the first lifting ring 4 and the nut has good connection reliability. The threaded engagement structure can effectively transmit lifting force, prevent the first lifting ring 4 from falling off during the lifting process, and ensure the safety of the lifting operation. At the same time, the detachability of the threaded connection makes it easy to replace, repair or store the first lifting ring 4 separately.

[0035] exist Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the first lifting ring 4 is located on the outer side of the support 1. Specifically, each first lifting ring 4 is installed near the end of the crossbeam 2, meaning that the first lifting ring 4 does not occupy the inner space between the two supports 1, but is offset to the outer side of the support 1 (away from the other support 1). For example, the outer side of the left support 1 is in the left direction away from the right support 1, and the outer side of the right support 1 is in the right direction away from the left support 1. The two first lifting rings 4 are respectively arranged at the left end of the crossbeam 2 near the outer side of the left support 1 and the right end of the crossbeam 2 near the outer side of the right support 1. This design provides a spacious operating space for lifting, avoids the operational interference problem caused by the first lifting ring 4 being located inside the support 1, and eliminates the need for operators to perform hooking operations in the narrow space between the two supports 1, significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of pre-lifting connection operations and reducing the difficulty of the operation.

[0036] In some embodiments, the crossbeam 2 is connected to the bracket 1 by a connecting member, specifically, the connecting member may be a screw or bolt, to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the crossbeam 2.

[0037] exist Figure 2In the embodiment shown, the support 1 includes an upright 11, a diagonal brace 12, and a horizontal bar 13. One end of the horizontal bar 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the upright 11, the upper end of the diagonal brace 12 is connected to the other end of the horizontal bar 13, and the lower end of the diagonal brace 12 is connected to the upright 11. The three together form a triangular stable frame structure. The crossbeam 2 connects the two ends of the horizontal bar 13. Specifically, the two ends of the crossbeam 2 are connected to the horizontal bars 13 of the two supports 1 near the middle. This design allows the installation mechanism to form a preset center of gravity distribution after being installed on the rack bracket 100 through the plug-in end 111. This causes the overall center of gravity of the installation mechanism to tilt naturally in the preset direction. The lateral force generated by this tilt can directly act on the upright 11, pushing the front and rear side walls of the upright 11 to form a tight abutment with the front and rear side walls of the rack bracket 100 cavity. Thus, without the need for additional locking components, the self-tightening force brought about by the tilt of the center of gravity achieves the fitting and positioning of the upright 11 with the cavity of the rack bracket 100. At the same time, it can further restrict the movement and rotation of the support 1 in the cavity of the rack bracket 100, significantly improving the structural stability and connection reliability of the installation mechanism after installation.

[0038] exist Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the installation mechanism of the cabinet also includes a lifting device, which includes a hand chain hoist 5, a fixed hook 6 and a movable hook 7. The fixed hook 6 is located at the fixed end 51 of the hand chain hoist and is connected to the first lifting ring 4. The movable hook 7 is located at the movable end 52 of the hand chain hoist and is used to connect to the second lifting ring 210 of the cabinet.

[0039] The manual chain hoist 5 is a commonly used manual lifting device, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here. The manual chain hoist 5 can raise and lower the load by manually operating the chain, and when the operation stops, the load position is fixed by an internal self-locking mechanism to prevent accidental falls. The fixed hook 6 is rigidly connected to the fixed end 51 of the manual chain hoist. The connection method can be welding or bolt locking to ensure that the connection strength is sufficient to withstand the overall tensile force during the lifting process. The structural design of the fixed hook 6 must be adapted to the first lifting ring 4 on the crossbeam 2. The movable hook 7 is set at the movable end 52 of the manual chain hoist and is fixedly connected to the end of the lifting chain of the manual chain hoist 5. The connection method can also be welding or pin locking. The structure of the movable hook 7 is similar to that of the fixed hook 6, with the opening facing the second lifting ring 210 adapted to the cabinet.

[0040] In actual lifting operations, the operator first installs the installation mechanism onto the rack 100 of the cabinet via the plug-in end 111 at the lower end of the bracket 1, ensuring that the limit piece 3 is locked in place. Then, the fixed hook 6 of the lifting device is hung on the first lifting ring 4 on the crossbeam 2, completing the connection between the lifting device and the installation mechanism. Next, the movable hook 7 is aligned with the second lifting ring 210 of the cabinet and inserted to achieve the connection between the lifting device and the cabinet. Finally, the operator manually pulls the chain of the hand chain hoist 5 to drive the movable hook 7 to lift and lower the cabinet until it is adjusted to the required installation or maintenance height. After releasing the chain, the self-locking mechanism of the hand chain hoist 5 is activated, stabilizing the cabinet in the current position for subsequent operations.

[0041] It should be noted that, depending on the actual lifting requirements, an electric hoist can be used instead of a manual hoist.

[0042] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
