Description

Server housing with safety mechanism

The invention relates to the technical field of server devices, in particular to a server housing with a safety mechanism.

With the maturity of the Internet of Things and cloud computing technology, the wireless communication industry has also been booming in recent years. The best proof is that various electronic products or home appliances in people's daily lives have also been given wireless transmission functions. In order to maintain the stability of network traffic, Internet service providers (ISPs) or private companies have increasingly demanded server functionalities. For example, it is required that the server has device scalability, so that the server maintenance personnel can increase/decrease the number of network devices, hard disk devices, and related electronic components.

FIG. 1 shows a first perspective view of a part of a conventional server housing that is easy to disassemble. Moreover, FIG. 2 is a second perspective view showing a conventional server case that is easily detachable. In order to facilitate the inspection personnel to disassemble/assemble the server efficiently, the conventional technology is particularly composed of a housing 10' and an actuating unit 22' to form the easily removable server housing 1'. Wherein, the actuating unit 22' passes through a notch 36' designed on the casing 10' and is pivotally connected to the casing 10' through a pivot hole 34'. It is worth noting that an elastic element 26' is further provided between the actuating unit 22' and the casing 10'. In more detail, the actuating unit 22' includes a handle portion 222', a perforation 221', and a hook portion 224'. Moreover, the hook portion 224' and the handle portion 222' are located on both sides of the through hole 221', respectively. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the hook portion 224 ′ is accommodated in the casing 10 ′ and rotating the handle portion 222 ′ can drive the hook portion 224 ′ to hook a slot 14 of the casing 10 ′ '.

Obviously, by adding the actuating unit 22' on the casing 10', it is indeed advantageous for the inspector to quickly disassemble/assemble the server. Even other non-detection personnel or non-network management personnel in the company can easily open the cabinet 10' by operating the actuation unit 22', and then replace the network device, hard disk device or other electronic components by themselves. It is worth pondering that such a convenient housing disassembly design also causes doubts about the security management of the server. Once the non-detection personnel or non-network management personnel can also easily remove the server casing 10', it means that the company's confidential information stored in the server's hard disk device also has a great chance of being stolen.

It can be known from the above description that although the existing server has the advantage of easy disassembly/assembly of the housing, it does not take into account the safety management of the server. In view of this, the creator of the present invention has made great efforts to study and create, and finally developed a server housing with a security mechanism of the present invention.

The conventional technique is to add an actuating unit to the casing to facilitate the inspector to quickly disassemble/assemble the front panel of the server.

Therefore, the present invention provides a server housing with a security mechanism, which mainly includes: a receiving slot, a detachable panel, at least one sensing unit, and at least one fixing unit. In the present invention, the fixing unit is used to stabilize the cover of the detachable panel to the notch of the accommodating slot, and at the same time, a triggering part presses the triggering mechanism of the sensing unit. In addition, the fixing unit is also available for engineers or operators to easily remove the cover of the removable panel from the slot. After releasing the cover of the detachable panel from the slot by operating the fixing unit, the trigger part stops pressing the trigger mechanism of the sensing unit, at which time the sensing unit will immediately activate at least one security protection at the rear end Circuit. To put it simply, the server housing with a safety mechanism of the present invention helps to improve the security of the server's maintenance and management, and can effectively prevent non-detection personnel or non-network management personnel from opening the server's cabinet by themselves.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned main purpose of the present invention, the creator of this case provides an embodiment of the server housing with a security mechanism, which includes: a receiving slot; a removable panel that connects and covers the receiving A notch of the slot, and having a first fixing portion and a communicating portion; at least one sensing unit is arranged in the containing slot and has a trigger mechanism; and at least one fixing unit is used to make the The detachable panel covers the slot firmly, and includes: an actuator, one end of which extends into the accommodating slot and forms a pivot portion; and a fixed component, which is connected to the other of the actuator One end, and having a fastener; wherein, a triggering portion is further formed on the actuating element, and the triggering portion is located between the pivoting portion of the actuating element and the fixing component; wherein, the The fastener and the first fixing part cooperate with each other to make the detachable panel cover the notch firmly, and the trigger part presses the trigger mechanism of the sensing unit through the communication part; wherein, through Making the actuating member rotate along a first direction with the pivot portion as a rotation axis can release the mutual cooperation relationship between the fastener and the first fixing portion, and also stop the triggering portion from triggering the mechanism The pressing of the sensor causes the sensing unit to activate at least one safety protection circuit at the rear end.
