傳統的伺服器貨櫃係將多個伺服器整合在同一個機箱裡，因伺服器為長時間運轉無法關機而會持續地產生熱能，故機箱需設置額外的散熱系統，如風扇、冷氣機等，且伺服器與機櫃的壁面間亦需間隔足夠的散熱距離，以使散熱系統可發揮效用。然而，欲將多個伺服器及散熱系統設置在機櫃內，則機櫃的體積係相應的相當龐大，產生整體伺服器貨櫃的製造成本昂貴、搬運不便、且難以拆卸來維修內部元件的缺點。The traditional server container system integrates multiple servers in the same chassis. Because the server can not generate power for a long time and will continue to generate heat, the chassis needs to be equipped with additional cooling systems, such as fans and air conditioners. And the wall between the server and the cabinet should also be separated by a sufficient heat dissipation distance to make the heat dissipation system work. However, if multiple servers and heat dissipation systems are to be placed in the cabinet, the volume of the cabinets is correspondingly large, resulting in the disadvantages of the overall server container being expensive to manufacture, inconvenient to handle, and difficult to disassemble to repair internal components.

請參閱第2圖與第3圖，第2圖與第3圖分別為本創作實施例之移動式機架14於不同視角之示意圖。如第2圖所示，移動式機架14包含有一本體22、複數個定位柱24、至少一卡勾部26、至少一止抵柱28、一握持部30以及一第一 扣具32。本體22具有一上端面221、一下端面223與一固定孔225。定位柱24、卡勾部26、止抵柱28及第一扣具32設置於本體22之上端面221，而握持部30則設置於本體22之側端。如第3圖所示，移動式機架14另包含有至少二擋板34、一蓋板36、複數個限位柱38、複數個第二扣具40以及至少一頂柱42。擋板34、限位柱38、第二扣具40與頂柱42設置於本體22之下端面223，而蓋板36則以可樞轉方式裝設於本體22之下端面223。Please refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 . FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are respectively schematic diagrams of the mobile rack 14 of the present embodiment in different viewing angles. As shown in FIG. 2 , the mobile rack 14 includes a body 22 , a plurality of positioning posts 24 , at least one hook portion 26 , at least one abutting post 28 , a grip portion 30 , and a first Buckle 32. The body 22 has an upper end surface 221, a lower end surface 223 and a fixing hole 225. The positioning post 24 , the hook portion 26 , the abutting post 28 and the first clip 32 are disposed on the upper end surface 221 of the body 22 , and the grip portion 30 is disposed at the side end of the body 22 . As shown in FIG. 3, the mobile rack 14 further includes at least two baffles 34, a cover plate 36, a plurality of limit posts 38, a plurality of second clips 40, and at least one top post 42. The baffle 34, the limiting post 38, the second clip 40 and the top post 42 are disposed on the lower end surface 223 of the body 22, and the cover plate 36 is pivotally mounted on the lower end surface 223 of the body 22.
每一個移動式機架14可用來承載複數個電子裝置44，及相應數量的傳輸線46與電源供應器48。請參閱第4圖與第5圖，第4圖與第5圖分別為本創作實施例之移動式機架14配合電子裝置44、傳輸線46與電源供應器48之示意圖。如第4圖所示，電子裝置44與傳輸線46設置於本體22之上端面221。電子裝置44係以可活動方式擺放在本體22上，且電子裝置44之兩端面抵接於相應的定位柱24，因此定位柱24可用以限制電子裝置44沿著一第一方向D1相對本體22之一移動。此外，卡勾部26扣接於電子裝置44之底端，可限制電子裝置44沿著相異第一方向D1之一第二方向D2相對本體22之一移動。再者，移動式機架14另包含有一橋接件50以及一固定件52。橋接件50以可拆卸方式設置於電子裝置44。固定件52可為一螺絲或一螺栓，用來穿設橋接件50與本體22之固定孔225，藉此限制電子裝置44沿著相 異第一方向D1與第二方向D2之一第三方向D3相對本體22之一移動。Each of the mobile racks 14 can be used to carry a plurality of electronic devices 44, and a corresponding number of transmission lines 46 and power supplies 48. Please refer to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 . FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 are respectively schematic diagrams of the mobile rack 14 of the present embodiment in cooperation with the electronic device 44 , the transmission line 46 and the power supply 48 . As shown in FIG. 4, the electronic device 44 and the transmission line 46 are disposed on the upper end surface 221 of the body 22. The electronic device 44 is disposed on the main body 22 in a movable manner, and the two end faces of the electronic device 44 abut against the corresponding positioning posts 24, so the positioning post 24 can be used to restrict the electronic device 44 from being opposite to the body along a first direction D1. One of the 22 moves. In addition, the hook portion 26 is fastened to the bottom end of the electronic device 44 to restrict movement of the electronic device 44 relative to one of the bodies 22 along a second direction D2 in the different first direction D1. Furthermore, the mobile rack 14 further includes a bridge member 50 and a fixing member 52. The bridge 50 is detachably disposed on the electronic device 44. The fixing member 52 can be a screw or a bolt for inserting the fixing hole 225 of the bridge member 50 and the body 22, thereby limiting the electronic device 44 along the phase. One of the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, the third direction D3, moves relative to one of the bodies 22.
值得一提的是，兩相鄰定位柱24之一間距W1可實質上相同於電子裝置44之一尺寸(寬度W2)，因此當電子裝置44***相鄰定位柱24之間時，定位柱24才可於第一方向D1提供密合的限位作用。止抵柱28位於鄰近卡勾部26之一位置。止抵柱28另可配合卡勾部26抵接在電子裝置44的後端，以限制電子裝置44沿著第二方向D2之移動。除此之外，傳輸線46可區分為兩部分，例如網路線、連結滑鼠或鍵盤的纜線、或連結至電源供應器48的電線。部分的傳輸線46(如網路線及纜線)係電連接於電子裝置44，並由第一扣具32夾持而產生拘束功能；另一部份的傳輸線46(如電線)除了由第一扣具32夾持以提供固定外，另可穿設形成在本體22的破孔227，以電連接到設置在下端面223的電源供應器48。It is worth mentioning that the spacing W1 of one of the two adjacent positioning posts 24 can be substantially the same as the size (width W2) of the electronic device 44, so when the electronic device 44 is inserted between the adjacent positioning posts 24, the positioning post 24 The close limit action can be provided in the first direction D1. The abutment post 28 is located adjacent one of the hook portions 26. The abutment post 28 can also be engaged with the hook portion 26 at the rear end of the electronic device 44 to restrict movement of the electronic device 44 along the second direction D2. In addition, the transmission line 46 can be divided into two parts, such as a mesh route, a cable that connects a mouse or a keyboard, or a wire that is coupled to the power supply 48. A part of the transmission line 46 (such as a network route and cable) is electrically connected to the electronic device 44 and is clamped by the first buckle 32 to generate a restraining function; the other part of the transmission line 46 (such as a wire) is divided by the first buckle. The holder 32 is clamped to provide a fixing, and the hole 227 formed in the body 22 is pierced to be electrically connected to the power supply 48 provided on the lower end surface 223.
如第5圖所示，電源供應器48設置於兩擋板34之間，以限制電源供應器48沿著第一方向D1之移動。電源供應器48另可抵接於頂柱42，可限制電源供應器48沿著第二方向D2之移動。傳輸線46可穿過破孔227而電連接於電源供應器48，由於傳輸線46之長度可能相當長，故可將傳輸線46的多餘部分纏繞在複數個限位柱38，並利用多個第二扣具 40扣住傳輸線46，可有效拘束傳輸線46防止脫離。第5圖所示之蓋板36係為一開啟狀態，請參閱第6圖，第6圖為本創作實施例之移動式機架14於閉闔狀態之示意圖。當蓋板36閉闔時，頂柱42可止抵在蓋板36的表面，並另利用一固定元件54將蓋板36鎖附在頂柱42上。如此一來，蓋板36即可覆蓋電源供應器48，以避免電源供應器48沿著第三方向D3脫離擋板34之間。As shown in FIG. 5, a power supply 48 is disposed between the two shutters 34 to restrict movement of the power supply 48 in the first direction D1. The power supply 48 can also abut against the top post 42 to limit the movement of the power supply 48 in the second direction D2. The transmission line 46 can be electrically connected to the power supply 48 through the hole 227. Since the length of the transmission line 46 can be quite long, the excess portion of the transmission line 46 can be wound around the plurality of limit posts 38, and a plurality of second buckles can be utilized. With 40 holds the transmission line 46, effectively restraining the transmission line 46 from escaping. The cover plate 36 shown in FIG. 5 is in an open state. Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing the movable frame 14 of the present embodiment in a closed state. When the cover plate 36 is closed, the top post 42 can rest against the surface of the cover plate 36, and the cover plate 36 can be locked to the top post 42 by a fixing member 54. In this way, the cover plate 36 can cover the power supply 48 to prevent the power supply 48 from being separated from the baffle 34 along the third direction D3.
綜上所述，本創作可將複數個電子裝置與複數個電源供應器安裝於同一個移動式機架，其利用定位柱、卡勾部與固定件簡易且穩定地將電子裝置固定在本體表面上，另利用擋板、限位柱與蓋板簡易且穩定地將電源供應器固定在本體底部內，並配置數個扣具來提供理線的功能。此外，複數個移動式機架可於承載相應的電子裝置及電源供應器後利用握持部提取，以方便使用者將移動式機架抽出與放入機櫃內，同時提供整線管理及快速抽拉替換之目的。In summary, the present invention can install a plurality of electronic devices and a plurality of power supplies in the same mobile rack, and use the positioning post, the hook portion and the fixing member to easily and stably fix the electronic device on the surface of the body. In addition, the baffle, the limiting post and the cover plate are used to easily and stably fix the power supply in the bottom of the body, and several buckles are arranged to provide the function of the cable. In addition, a plurality of mobile racks can be extracted by the grip portion after carrying the corresponding electronic device and the power supply, so that the user can take out the mobile rack and put it into the cabinet, and provide complete line management and rapid pumping. Pull the purpose of replacement.
相較於先前技術，本發明之移動式機架及其相關伺服器系統可兼具低生產成本、維修簡易、散熱效率佳、集中管理方便與可快速更換移動的優點。Compared with the prior art, the mobile rack of the present invention and its related server system can combine the advantages of low production cost, simple maintenance, good heat dissipation efficiency, convenient centralized management, and quick change of movement.
