Patent Application
20190191876
This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201711445980.6, filed on Dec. 27, 2017, the contents of which are incorporated by reference herein.
The subject matter herein generally relates to cases, especially relates to a case having a stopping device.
Data centers include cabinets and a number of servers received in the cabinet. The server includes a stopping structure on the cabinet to prevent a server from sliding out of the cabinet. The stopping structure is pressed to lock or unlock to the cabinet.
Implementations of the present technology will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the exemplary embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the exemplary embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features. The description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the exemplary embodiments described herein. The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” exemplary embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same exemplary embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The term “comprising” means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in a so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
The stopping device includes an operating member 50 and a sliding member 70 (
The shell 10 includes a front plate 14, a first side plate 16, and a second side plate 18. The first side plate 16 and the second side plate 18 are connected to adjacent sides of the front plate 14. The through hole 12 is defined on the first side plate 16. An end of the second side plate 18 adjacent to the front plate 14 defines a first hole 11. The operating member 50 defines a second hole 52. A rotating shaft 60 is fixed in the first hole 11 and received in the second hole 52. Thus, the operating member 50 can rotate around the rotating shaft 60.
The operating member 50 includes a fixing portion 54. When the operating member 50 rotates to drive the stopping portion 42 to pass through the through hole 12, the fixing portion 54 is fixed to the front plate 14. The fixing portion 54 defines a first fixing hole 56. The front plate 14 defines a second fixing hole 13. When the operating member 50 rotates to drive the stopping portion 42 to pass through the through hole 12, the first fixing hole 56 is aligned to the second fixing hole 13. A fixing member 62 passes through the first fixing hole 56 and is fixed in the second fixing hole 13 to fix the fixing portion 54 to the front plate 14. The second fixing hole 13 is a threaded hole. The fixing member 62 is a bolt.
An end of the stopping member 40 is fixed to the first side plate 16. The stopping member 40 includes a stopping plate 44 and a restricting plate 46 formed at an end of the stopping plate 44 away from the front plate 14. The stopping portion 42 protrudes from the stopping plate 44. The stopping plate 44 defines a buckle hole 48 opposite to the first side plate 16. The restricting plate 46 defines a restricting hole 41 opposite to the front plate 14. An end of the sliding member 70 away from the front plate 14 passes though the restricting hole 41 and is slidably disposed outside of the restricting hole 41. The abutting portion 72 includes a wedge 74. When the stopping portion 42 passes through the through hole 12, the wedge 74 is latched with the buckle hole 48. When the stopping portion 42 is pushed out of the through hole 12, the wedge 74 separates from the buckle hole 48 and the abutting portion 72 abuts a side of the stopping plate 44 apposite to the first side plate 16.
The second side plate 18 defines an arcuate restricting groove 15. The sliding member defines a sliding groove 76. The operating member 50 includes a restricting portion 58. The restricting portion 58 passes through the restricting groove 15 and is slidably received in the sliding groove 76. The restricting groove 15 is positioned at a side of the rotating shaft 60 away from the front plate 14. The restricting groove 15 includes a first restricting end 17 adjacent to the first side plate 16 and the front plate 14 and a second restricting end 19 away from the first side plate 16 and the front plate 14. The sliding groove 76 includes a first sliding end 78 adjacent to the first side plate 16 and a second sliding end 80 away from the first side plate 16. The second sliding end 80 is closer than the second restricting end 19 to the front plate 14.
When the operating member 50 rotates in the first direction, the restricting portion 58 slides along the restricting groove 15 from the first restricting end 17 and abuts the edge of the sliding groove 76. The restricting portion 58 is thus driven to slide from the first sliding end 78 toward the second sliding end 80 and the sliding member 70 slides away from the front plate 14. When the sliding member 70 slides away from the front plate 14, the wedge 74 moves away from the front plate 14 to abut an edge of the buckle hole 48 and the stopping plate 44 moves away from the first side plate 16 to drive the stopping portion 42 out from the though hole 12.
When the operating member 50 rotates in direction opposite to the first direction, the restricting portion 58 slides along the restricting groove 15 from the second restricting end 19 and abuts the edge of the sliding groove 76. The restricting portion 58 is thus driven to slide from the second sliding end 80 toward the first sliding end 78 and the sliding member 70 slides close to the front plate 14. When the sliding member 70 slides close to the front plate 14, the wedge 74 moves close to the front plate 14 to lock in the buckle hole 48 and the stopping plate 44 rebounds toward first side plate 16 to drive the stopping portion 42 to be received in and pass through the though hole 12.
The exemplary embodiments shown and described above are only examples. Even though numerous descriptions and advantages of the present technology have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the present disclosure, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in the details, including in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of the parts within the principles of the present disclosure, up to and including the full extent established by the broad general meaning of the terms used in the claims.
