Chassis Buckling Device for Rotating Component Maintenance
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing server components require dismantling and reassembly, leading to potential loss or misplacement during maintenance and repair due to snap-fit or threaded connections.
Innovation Solution
A buckling device with a snap member and sliding member that allows components to be rotated and exposed without disassembly, using a snap member to drive the sliding member to slide and buckle into a fixed position, ensuring components remain secured within the chassis.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If components are secured by snap-fit or threaded connections, then components can be firmly fixed in the chassis, but components must be dismantled and reassembled during maintenance leading to potential loss or misplacement
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure transitions from a static fixed state to a dynamic adjustable state. The component can be rotated between a first position (secured) and a second position (exposed), allowing maintenance without complete disassembly. This dynamic positioning resolves the contradiction by maintaining security while enabling easy access.
Solution Approach 2:
The connection mechanism is segmented into rotational positions rather than requiring complete assembly/disassembly. The component can be partially rotated to an exposed position for maintenance while remaining connected to the chassis, eliminating the need to fully dismantle and potentially lose components.
2Ease of operation
If components are completely disassembled for maintenance, then access to components is improved, but time is lost and components may be misplaced
Solution Approach 1:
The rotational mechanism allows the component to be dynamically positioned in an exposed state for maintenance while remaining connected. This eliminates the time-consuming process of complete disassembly and reassembly, as the component can be quickly rotated into position and back.
Solution Approach 2:
The component is pre-configured with the rotational connection mechanism that allows it to be exposed without full disassembly. This preliminary design enables maintenance personnel to access the component directly by rotation, eliminating the need for time-consuming dismantling procedures.
3Stability of the object's composition
If components are secured with fixed connections, then stability is maintained, but adaptability for maintenance access is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The connection structure is designed to be dynamic rather than fixed, allowing the component to rotate between a secured first position and an exposed second position. This provides both stability during operation and adaptability during maintenance, resolving the contradiction between fixed security and maintenance access.

AI summary
Disclosed in the present application is a buckling device and a chassis. The buckling device includes a first main body, a snap member, and a sliding member. The first main body is configured to be fixed within a box. The snap member is configured to be connected to a functional component. The sliding member is slidably connected to the first main body. The snap member is rotationally connected to the first main body and held against the sliding member, and the snap member is configured to drive the sliding member to slide during rotation, and the snap member is buckled and connected to the first main body when the sliding member is located at a first preset position protruding outside the box. When an area near a functional component needs to be avoided, rotate the snap member and drive the functional component to rotate to expose the avoidance space.
