Supporting mechanism

Abstract

A support mechanism includes a slide rail assembly, a reinforcing member, and a bracket assembly. The slide rail assembly includes a first rail; the reinforcing member is interconnected with the first rail and has a support channel; the reinforcing member is displaceable relative to the bracket assembly; the bracket assembly includes a first bracket and a second bracket mounted to the support channel.

Claims

1. A support mechanism suitable for mounting to a frame, the frame including a first column and a second column, the support mechanism comprising: a slide rail assembly including a first rail and a second rail longitudinally displaceable relative to each other; a reinforcing member connected to the first rail, the reinforcing member having a support channel; and a bracket assembly mounted to the support channel, the bracket assembly including a first bracket and a second bracket for respectively connecting to the first column and the second column of the frame, and the reinforcing member being longitudinally displaceable relative to the bracket assembly already connected to the frame; wherein, The reinforcing member includes a first wall, a second wall, and a longitudinal wall connecting the first and second walls of the reinforcing member, and the first, second, and longitudinal walls of the reinforcing member together define the support channel. The first bracket includes a first support portion and a first mounting member. The first support portion is installed within the support channel and held by the first and second walls of the reinforcing member. The first mounting member is located outside the support channel and is used to connect to a first column of the frame. The second bracket includes a second support portion and a second mounting member. The second support portion is installed within the support channel and held by the first and second walls of the reinforcing member. The second mounting member is located outside the support channel. Outside the bracket, the second mounting member is used to connect to the second column of the frame; wherein, the first support portion of the first bracket and the second support portion of the second bracket each have a first end and a second end that are positioned opposite each other; the first end of the first support portion has a first end plate, and the first end plate is provided with the first mounting member; the second end of the second support portion has a second end plate, and the second end plate is provided with the second mounting member; wherein, the support mechanism further includes an elastic member for providing elastic force to one of the first bracket and the second bracket; the support mechanism further includes an auxiliary member installed between the second end of the first support portion of the first bracket and the first end of the second support portion of the second bracket.

2. The support mechanism as described in claim 1, wherein, The slide rail assembly further includes a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail.

3. The support mechanism as described in claim 1, wherein, A first limiting feature is arranged at the second end of the first support portion of the adjacent first bracket, and a second limiting feature is arranged at the first end of the second support portion of the adjacent second bracket, and the auxiliary member is installed on the first limiting feature and the second limiting feature.

4. The support mechanism as described in claim 3, wherein, The elastic element is mounted on the auxiliary element and rests between the first limiting feature and the second limiting feature.

5. A support mechanism, comprising: a slide rail assembly including a first rail; a reinforcing member fixedly connected to the first rail, the reinforcing member having a support channel; and a bracket device longitudinally displaceable relative to the reinforcing member, the bracket device including a first bracket and a second bracket mounted to the support channel; wherein, The reinforcing member includes a first wall, a second wall, and a longitudinal wall connected between the first wall and the second wall of the reinforcing member, and the first wall, the second wall, and the longitudinal wall of the reinforcing member together define the support channel; the first bracket includes a first support portion and a first mounting member, the first support portion is installed in the support channel and held by the first wall and the second wall of the reinforcing member, and the first mounting member is located outside the support channel; the second bracket includes a second support portion and a second mounting member, the second support portion is installed in the support channel and held by the first wall and the second wall of the reinforcing member, and the second mounting member is located outside the support channel; The first bracket and the second bracket each have a first end and a second end that are positioned opposite each other; the first end of the first bracket has a first end plate and the first end plate is provided with the first mounting member; the second end of the second bracket has a second end plate and the second end plate is provided with the second mounting member; the support mechanism further includes an elastic member for providing elastic force to one of the first bracket and the second bracket; the support mechanism further includes an auxiliary member installed between the second end of the first bracket of the first bracket and the first end of the second bracket of the second bracket.

6. The support mechanism as described in claim 5, wherein, The second bracket and the first bracket can be longitudinally displaced through the support channel.

7. The support mechanism as described in claim 5, wherein, The slide rail assembly further includes a second rail that can be longitudinally displaced relative to the first rail.

8. The support mechanism as described in claim 7, wherein, The slide rail assembly further includes a third rail movably mounted between the first rail and the second rail.

9. The support mechanism as described in claim 5, wherein, A first limiting feature is arranged at the second end of the first support portion of the adjacent first bracket, and a second limiting feature is arranged at the first end of the second support portion of the adjacent second bracket, and the auxiliary member is installed on the first limiting feature and the second limiting feature; the elastic member is installed on the auxiliary member and abuts between the first limiting feature and the second limiting feature.
