Abstract

A cabinet for server includes a frame, and a plurality of guiding rails. Each guiding rail includes a connection portion and an inclined portion. An acute angle is defined between the inclined portion and the connection portion.

Claims (18)

1. A server cabinet comprising:

a frame including a plurality of bottom plates, a plurality of side plates, the side plates being perpendicularly secured to the bottom plates;

a plurality of guiding rails secured to opposite sides of the side plates in pairs, each guiding rail comprising a connection portion and an inclined portion, an acute angle defined between the inclined portion and the connection portion, a receiving slot defined between opposite sides of each guiding rail; and

a plurality of sliding modules, each sliding module including a first sliding element and a second sliding element slidably attached to the first sliding element, each first sliding element being slidably received in the corresponding receiving slot;

wherein the acute angle is substantially about 5-85°, each guiding rail further comprises a positioning portion, the inclined portion is between the connection portion and the positioning portion, and the positioning portion is substantially parallel to the connection portion, a guiding slot is defined in each guiding rail, a positioning hole is defined in one sidewall of the guiding slot of the positioning portion, a projection protrudes from the other sidewall of the guiding slot of the positioning portion, a distance between bottom surface of the positioning hole and the projection is substantially equal to a width of the guiding slot.

2. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 1 , wherein the acute angle is 5°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, or 85°.

3. A server cabinet comprising:

a frame;

a plurality of guiding rails, each guiding rail comprising a connection portion and an inclined portion, an acute angle defined between the inclined portion and the connection portion; and

a plurality of servers, one end of each server supported by the inclined portion of a pair of guiding rails and the other end of the server secured to the frame, air heated by the servers moving towards the ends supported by the corresponding inclined portions;

wherein each server comprises a housing, two wheels, and two latching elements, each wheel is attached to an opposite side of the housing, the latching elements latch the corresponding server to the frame, each latching element comprises a base portion and two elastic arms, and the two elastic arms project from the base portion and are V-shaped.

4. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 3 , wherein the acute angle is substantially about 5-85°.

5. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 3 , wherein the cabinet further comprises a plurality of sliding modules, a receiving slot is defined between opposite sides of each guiding rail to receive the corresponding sliding module.

6. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 3 , wherein a loop groove is defined in each wheel to receive opposite sidewalls of the guiding slot.

7. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 4 , wherein the acute angle is 5°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75°, or 85°.

8. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 4 , wherein each guiding rail further comprises a positioning portion, the inclined portion is between the connection portion and the positioning portion, and the positioning portion is substantially parallel to the connection portion.

9. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 5 , wherein each sliding module comprising a first sliding element and a second sliding element, the second sliding element is slidably attached to the first sliding element, and the first sliding element is slidably received in the receiving slot of the corresponding guiding rail.

10. The server cabinet as claimed of claim 8 , wherein a guiding slot is defined in each guiding rail, a positioning hole is defined in one sidewall of the guiding slot of the positioning portion, a projection protrudes from the other sidewall of the guiding slot of the positioning portion, a distance between bottom surface of the positioning hole and the projection is substantially equal to a width of the guiding slot.
