Server Dustproof Frame With Cable Routing and Detachable Filtration
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional dustproof frames for servers face challenges in simultaneously accommodating cables and ensuring dustproofing, as they either block cable ports or require removal of ports to install the frame, complicating the installation process.
Innovation Solution
A dustproof frame system with a cable management assembly that includes wire outlets and a detachable filter assembly, allowing cables to be accommodated in an air channel without obstructing the frame's installation, and featuring a filter member to prevent dust entry.

Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Object-affected harmful factors
If the dustproof frame is adjacently installed at the front side of the server, then the dustproof requirement is met, but the cable ports are blocked and cables cannot be plugged in
Solution Approach 1:
The dustproof frame is divided into multiple sections: a front plate, a rear plate, and side plates that form a cable management assembly. This segmentation allows the frame to simultaneously provide dustproofing and accommodate cable ports by creating dedicated cable passages through the structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable management assembly acts as an intermediary structure between the dustproof frame and the server's cable ports. It provides wire outlets that allow cables to pass through the dustproof frame without compromising the dustproof seal, effectively mediating between the dustproof requirement and cable insertion need.
2Ease of manufacture
If the cable ports are removed to allow dustproof frame installation, then the dustproof frame can be installed, but the server loses cable connectivity
Solution Approach 1:
The dustproof frame is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides dustproofing, accommodates cable ports through wire outlets, and maintains structural integrity. The cable management assembly within the frame allows it to function both as a dustproof barrier and as a cable routing structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The cable ports are accommodated by creating passages through the dustproof frame structure rather than removing ports from the server face. The wire outlets are positioned and sized to allow cable passage while maintaining the frame's dustproof sealing function.
3Ease of operation
If cables are plugged into the server before installing the dustproof frame, then cable connectivity is maintained, but the dustproof frame cannot be properly installed due to space occupation
Solution Approach 1:
The cable management assembly is pre-integrated into the dustproof frame structure during manufacturing, with wire outlets and cable passages already formed. This preliminary integration means that cables can be routed through the frame during installation without requiring the frame to be removed or modified after installation.

AI summary
A dustproof frame is disposed on a server, wherein at least one cable is plugged into the server. The dustproof frame includes a cable management assembly and a filter assembly. The cable management assembly is configured to be disposed one the server. The cable management assembly surrounds and forms an air channel. The air channel is configured to accommodate the at least one cable. The cable management assembly has at least one wire outlet. The at least one wire outlet is located at a central portion of the air channel and is in fluid communication with the air channel. The at least one wire outlet is configured for the at least one cable to pass through. The filter assembly is detachably disposed on the cable management assembly and covers a side of the air channel farthest away from the server.
