Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention provides a rotary auxiliary positioning handle, particularly a positioning handle that can be turned to lock or unlock. An auxiliary frame and a drive handle are assembled on a frame. By turning the drive handle and using the hook fastener on one side of the auxiliary frame to form a fulcrum, the frame can be rotated and swung smoothly to achieve the purpose of locking or unlocking. Prior Technology

[0002] Note that with the continuous advancement and development of electronic technology, computer technology brings convenience, comfort, speed, and high efficiency to people's lives and work. Therefore, the application functions of electronic technology and computer systems are becoming increasingly powerful and their scope is expanding. Besides personal computers, centralized management systems, such as industrial computer rooms, building central control systems, automated factory operation systems, and audio-visual playback central processing control systems, all connect multiple computer hosts, servers, and workflow conversion systems simultaneously through centralized management, and are assembled in a layered manner within large... Inside the electronic equipment chassis, there are stacked boxes arranged in upper and lower layers. The boxes can be pulled out or pushed out from the side of the electronic equipment chassis for the assembly or maintenance of various computer operating systems. Because multiple operating host systems are combined, when various computer operating systems need to be tested or updated, the boxes of different layers must be pulled out of the electronic equipment chassis one by one to facilitate testing or related maintenance. Therefore, the many stacked boxes assembled inside the electronic equipment chassis are equipped with simple fastening structures to facilitate the assembly of each box inside the chassis or the pulling out of the chassis.

[0003] The stacked chassis assembled inside the electronic device enclosure house various electronic and circuit systems. Besides basic word processing and application execution, they can also connect to the internet to search for information. This makes computers essential in daily life and work. In addition to peripherals, each chassis features removable slots for easy data expansion, preservation, and security. These slots allow for easy connection of removable hard drives, optical drives, or multimedia players, enabling effective expansion without occupying additional internal space. However, the slot spaces of the main unit in each enclosure are all fixed-type frame spaces. When using the slot space to plug in electronic products, the assembly path or space is often obstructed or restricted by the handles on the outside of the enclosure. Electronic devices must run various cables to meet assembly requirements, but the design of each enclosure is not conducive to the cable running, resulting in the cables being exposed on the outside of each enclosure. This also easily causes the cables to be pulled when plugging and unplugging the enclosure, which is not only unsightly but also affects the safety of the cables. Therefore, there are inconveniences in the operation of plugging and unplugging electronic products and the main unit inside the enclosure, which needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the problems and troubles of the inconvenience of pulling out and pushing the various boxes inside the current electronic equipment chassis, and the fact that the handles on each box that can be pulled out can easily block the path and space for the assembly of internal electronic circuits and external electronic products, as well as the trouble and lack of cable routing, is the direction that relevant manufacturers in this industry are eager to research and improve. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned problems and deficiencies, the inventor collected relevant information, conducted multiple evaluations and considerations, and, based on years of experience accumulated in this industry, through continuous creation, research and improvement, finally designed this invention patent for a rotary auxiliary positioning handle.

[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide a rotary auxiliary positioning handle. The frame has two adjacent assembly spaces and an extension side. The side of the assembly space is provided with a latching part, which allows the auxiliary frame to be assembled on the extension side of the frame. The auxiliary frame moves back and forth along the extension side. The hook and fastener on one side of the auxiliary frame protrudes outside the extension side. The drive handle is then assembled on the assembly space on the other side of the frame. The fastening part on one side of the drive handle protrudes outside the assembly space, and the locking part on the other side is located at the latching part and can move. By opening the drive handle and then rotating it, the frame and the auxiliary frame can be rotated and moved. The drive handle forms a locking or unlocking function.

[0007] Another objective of this invention is that the frame has a recessed assembly space, which allows a pre-set wire to be threaded through the assembly space and the inner side of the drive handle. An L-shaped extension side is provided on one side adjacent to the assembly space, and a corresponding hook-shaped latching part is provided on the side of the assembly space. A sliding space is recessed on the side adjacent to the latching part, and connecting parts are provided at the two opposite outer sides of the assembly space and the extension side of the frame. A cover plate is then covered on the other side of the extension side relative to the auxiliary frame, so that a levering space is formed between the cover plate and the extension side, and the cover plate can be opened by applying force through the levering space.

[0008] Another objective of the present invention is that the auxiliary frame is provided with at least one elongated elliptical groove, and at least one pivot hole is provided on the side of the frame opposite the groove for pivot assembly of the pivot member. Furthermore, a wing plate is provided on one side of the auxiliary frame for assembling the hook and buckle member. The wing plate is provided with a sliding groove for the connector to pass through to movably assemble the hook and buckle member. A guide groove is provided on the wing plate adjacent to the sliding groove, and a limiting rod is provided on the hook and buckle member that slides at the guide groove.

[0009] Another objective of the present invention is that a sliding space for assembling the locking component is recessed on one side of the drive handle, and suspended arm plates extend from both sides of the sliding space. The locking component has L-shaped side plates located between the two arm plates, and elongated elliptical sliding grooves are provided on the two side plates. Stop shafts are provided on the two arm plates to allow the sliding grooves of the two side plates to pivotally move. Thus, a locking groove for the locking part to be embedded is formed between the two arm plates and the two side plates.

[0010] Another objective of this invention is that the frame has two horizontally opposite latching parts on the side of the assembly space, and the two side plates and two arm plates of the drive handle latching member are also provided with two horizontally opposite locking channels, so that the two horizontally opposite locking channels can slide and engage or disengage with the two horizontally opposite latching parts.

[0011] Another objective of this invention is that the drive handle has Y-shaped opposing fastening members on one side, and shaft holes are respectively provided near the side of each fastening member. Opposite to each shaft hole, there are two opposite sides of the assembly space on one side of the frame, and a limiting wing is provided on the side of the auxiliary frame for the opposite shaft hole. The limiting wing is provided with a limiting groove that can be aligned with the shaft hole on one side, and two shafts are provided to pivotally connect each shaft hole to the rotating shaft hole on one side, the rotating shaft hole on the other side, and the limiting groove, so that the drive handle can rotate axially through the shaft holes of the two fastening members relative to each rotating shaft hole with each rotating shaft as the axis.

[0019] Furthermore, the auxiliary frame 2 of the present invention is provided with at least one elongated elliptical slide groove 20. At least one pivot hole 12 is provided on the side of the frame 1 opposite to the slide groove 20, so that the pivot member 121 can be pivotally assembled at the corresponding at least one slide groove 20. A wing plate 22 is provided on one side of the auxiliary frame 2 for assembling hook fasteners 21. A sliding groove 220 is provided on the wing plate 22 for connecting member 221 to pass through and movably assemble hook fasteners 21. A guide groove 113 is provided on the extension side 11 of the adjacent sliding groove 220, and a limiting rod 211 is provided on the hook fastener 21 for sliding at the guide groove 113. A limiting wing 23 is provided on the other side of the auxiliary frame 2 opposite to the wing plate 22, and an elongated limiting groove 230 is provided at the limiting wing 23.

[0020] Furthermore, the drive handle 3 of the present invention has a recessed sliding space 30 on one side for assembling the locking member 32, and the sliding space 30 has suspended arm plates 33 extending from both sides. The locking member 32 has side plates 321 on both sides. The two side plates 321 are L-shaped and located between the two arm plates 33. The two side plates 321 are respectively provided with long elliptical sliding grooves 3210. The two arm plates 33 are provided with stop shafts 331 for the sliding grooves 3210 of the two side plates 321 to pivot and move. A locking groove 300 is formed between the two arm plates 33 and the two side plates 321 for the two opposing locking parts 101 at the side of the assembly space 10 of the frame 1 to be embedded.

[0021] Furthermore, the frame 1 of the present invention described above may have two horizontally opposite buckle portions 101 on the side of the assembly space 10, and the two side plates 321 and the two arm plates 33 of the locking member 32 of the drive handle 3 are also provided with two horizontally opposite locking channels 300, so that the two horizontally opposite locking channels 300 can slide movably and slide relative to the two horizontally opposite buckle portions 101, which can be engaged or disengaged.

[0022] Furthermore, the drive handle 3 of the present invention described above can be provided with Y-shaped opposing fastening members 31 on one side. A shaft hole 310 is provided near the side of each fastening member 31. A limiting wing 23 is provided on the side of the auxiliary frame 2 for the opposite shaft hole 310. A limiting channel 230 is provided in the limiting wing 23. A rotating shaft hole 103 and the limiting channel 230 of the limiting wing 23 on the side of the auxiliary frame 2 are respectively provided on the two opposite sides of the assembly space 10 of the frame 1. Two shafts 104 are provided to pivotally connect each shaft hole 310 to the rotating shaft hole 103 on one side, the rotating shaft hole 103 on the other side, and the limiting channel 230, respectively. The drive handle 3 can rotate axially through the shaft holes 310 of the two fastening members 31 relative to each rotating shaft hole 103 and the limiting channel 230 with each shaft 104 as the axis.

[0023] In practical application, as shown in Figures 5-13, the rotary auxiliary positioning handle of the present invention can be assembled onto a pre-defined electronic device 4 (which may be a hard drive, multimedia audio-visual device (such as a CD player, DVD player, or card reader), server chassis, computer host circuit board, or various interface cards, etc.). The pre-defined electronic device 4 can be assembled and fixed to the pre-defined electronic device 4 using fasteners 111 (such as screws, rivets, or pins, etc.) on both sides of the frame 1. The frame 1 can then be used to assemble the pre-defined electronic device 4 onto a pre-defined electronic chassis 5 (which may be a computer chassis, server rack, electrical chassis, or industrial computer chassis, etc.). Please refer to Figures 5 and 6 simultaneously. The connection interface 41 of the preset electronic device 4 is electrically connected to the docking interface 51 of the preset electronic chassis 5 [the connection interface 41 and the docking interface 51 can be electrical connectors, etc.]. The first fastening part 52 and the second fastening part 53 on the preset electronic chassis 5 can be assembled and fastened by the hook fastener 21 on one side of the auxiliary frame 2 and the fastener 31 on the other side of the drive handle 3 respectively. The drive handle 3 can be aligned with the water cooling connector 50 provided on the preset electronic chassis 5 to assemble the preset electronic device 4 onto the preset electronic chassis 5 (please refer to Figures 6 to 9 simultaneously), thus achieving the purpose of conveniently assembling the preset electronic device 4 onto the preset electronic chassis 5.

[0024] Please also refer to Figures 7-13. When removing the preset electronic device 4 from the preset electronic chassis 5, the drive handle 3 assembled at the assembly space 10 on one side of the frame 1 can be operated. The locking member 32 of the drive handle 3 is pushed to the other side of the sliding space 102 away from the two latching parts 101. This causes the two locking grooves 300 at the locking member 32 to exit the outside of the two latching parts 101. Then, the retaining member 31 is located in the elongated limiting groove 2 of the limiting wing 23 through the shaft rod 104 pivotally mounted through the shaft hole 310 on one side. The 30 sliding points create longitudinal and lateral buffer zones, which, when used in conjunction with the drive handle 3 to open the preset electronic housing 5, provide a buffering effect against longitudinal height differences or lateral swaying. This facilitates the operation of the drive handle 3 in moving the frame 1, auxiliary frame 2, and preset electronic equipment 4 away from the preset electronic housing 5. Further force is applied to open or pull the drive handle 3 outwards from the frame 1, allowing the Y-shaped fastener 31 on one side of the drive handle 3 to exit the second fastening part 53 of the preset electronic housing 5. The notch 311 on one side of the fastener 31 is then utilized. This creates a space that avoids the preset cable 100, ensuring that opening the drive handle 3 does not interfere with the setting of the preset cable 100. Simultaneously, by applying force to the lever space 110 at the extension side 11 and the cover plate 112, and levering it towards the cover plate 112, the upper limit rod 211 of the hook fastener 21 on one side of the auxiliary frame 2 slides along the sliding groove 220. At the same time, the hook fastener 21 rotates and swings around the connecting member 221 as its axis, and swings along the guide groove 113 on the extension side 11, allowing the hook fastener 21 to exit the first... At the fastening part 52, the preset electronic device 4 is retracted from the preset electronic housing 5 by using the drive handles 3 on both sides of the frame 1 and the cover plate 112, without interfering with the laying of the preset cable 100. The connection interface 41 and the docking interface 51 are also separated, so that the preset electronic device 4 can be taken out from the preset electronic housing 5 smoothly. This allows the preset electronic device 4 to be taken out of the preset electronic housing 5 quickly, thereby achieving the purpose of driving the handle 3 to rotate and displace the frame 1 and the auxiliary frame 2, and forming a locking or unlocking function through the drive handle 3.

Therefore, any simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made using the description and drawings of the present invention should also be included within the scope of the patent of the present invention and are hereby stated.

[0026] In conclusion, the rotary auxiliary positioning handle described above in this invention can indeed achieve its function and purpose in practical applications. Therefore, this invention is indeed a highly practical research and development creation. In order to meet the application requirements for an invention patent, this application is hereby filed in accordance with the law.
