Server Rail Quick Release Mounting Structure
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing server sliding rail systems require different support bar sets for left and right assemblies, and existing quick release mechanisms are not easily adjustable or tool-free for mounting and dismounting, limiting flexibility and convenience.
Innovation Solution
A server sliding rail quick release mounting structure using a first quick release and a second quick release to connect a support bar set to both left and right server sliding rail assemblies, allowing for easy adjustment and tool-free mounting/dismounting, with components like a quick release holder bracket, control spring plate, and actuation member enabling rapid connection and disconnection without tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If different support bar sets are used for left and right server sliding rail assemblies, then the cable management rack can be properly supported on either side, but the device complexity and inventory requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The support bar set is designed with universal quick release mechanisms that can be used on both left and right server sliding rail assemblies. The first quick release connects to the intermediate sliding rail while the second quick release connects to the outer sliding rail, allowing the same support bar set to adapt to different configurations without requiring side-specific variants.
2Reliability
If traditional mounting mechanisms are used for connecting support bar sets to server sliding rail assemblies, then the connection is secure, but the mounting and dismounting process requires tools and takes significant time
Solution Approach 1:
The quick release mechanisms incorporate dynamic elements including spring plates with elastic deformation capabilities and movable locking components. The control spring plate can be depressed to release the locking action, enabling tool-free mounting and dismounting while maintaining secure connection during normal operation.
3Stability of the object's composition
If traditional fixed mounting structures are used, then the support bar set is securely fixed, but adjustment to fit different cable management rack directions is difficult and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The mounting structure is segmented into detachable components with the support bar set divided into multiple sections connected by joints. The first and second quick release mechanisms create separable connection points, allowing the support bar set to be reconfigured and adjusted to different directions and configurations while maintaining stability during use.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
Enables quick and convenient adjustment to fit cable management racks on either server sliding rail assembly without needing to change support bar sets or tools, enhancing flexibility and reducing installation time and labor.
Implementation Method 1
the control spring plate is flexibly connected to the quick release holder bracket, and an actuation member is inserted in between the control spring plate and the slot... the actuation member is movable along the slot... the control spring plate can be depressed to move the actuation member away from the engagement plate

AI summary
A server sliding rail quick release mounting structure includes left and right server sliding rail assemblies, a support bar set, a first quick release and a second quick release for detachably connecting the two opposite ends of the support bar set to the left and right server sliding rail assemblies, and an adjustment structure having a connection plate, a retaining element and an adjustment member. A cable management rack may be supported at the left or right server sliding rail assembly, and the adjustment member is rotatable through 180° to fit the mounting direction of the cable management rack.
