Server chassis rail
A server chassis rail includes a guide plate. The guide plate is of a strip shape. Two sides of the guide plate have two troughs arranged opposite to each other in parallel and spaced apart relationship. Multiple plastic slide sleeves are disposed in the two opposing troughs, and each of the slide sleeves protrudes from an inner surface of the corresponding trough. Production costs are reduced by utilizing the plastic slide sleeves instead of rollers.
1. A server chassis rail, comprising:
a guide plate, the guide plate being of a strip shape, two sides of the guide plate being disposed with two troughs arranged opposite to each other in parallel and spaced apart relationship, and
a plurality of slide sleeves, the slide sleeves consisting of plastic, the slide sleeves being disposed in the two opposing troughs, each of the slide sleeves protruding from an inner surface of the corresponding trough,
wherein each of the slide sleeves forms a recess portion, and each of the recess portions is attached to the inner surface of the corresponding trough;
wherein each of the slide sleeves includes a positioning plate extending from the recess portion, and each of the positioning plate is attached to the guide plate.
2. The server chassis rail of claim 1 , wherein each of the slide sleeves includes an engagement latch, and the engagement latch is engaged with the guide plate.
3. The server chassis rail of claim 1 , wherein an engagement latch is formed on the positioning plate, and the engagement latch is engaged with the guide plate.
4. The server chassis rail of claim 3 , wherein the guide plate includes a fastening hole corresponding to the engagement latch, and the engagement latch is engaged in the fastening hole.
5. The server chassis rail of claim 3 , wherein the engagement latch is formed at a distal edge of the positioning plate.
6. The server chassis rail of claim 5 , wherein the slide sleeves in the two troughs are disposed in aligned and opposing relationship with respect to each other, and the engagement latch of each of the slide sleeves is aligned with the engagement latch of the aligned and opposing one of other slide sleeves.
7. The server chassis rail of claim 1 , further comprising an inner rail, the inner rail being of a strip shape, a lateral edge of the inner rail being inserted in the at least one slide sleeve in one of the troughs, the other lateral edge of the inner rail being inserted in the at least one slide sleeve in the other trough.
8. The server chassis rail of claim 7 , wherein each of the troughs includes an outer end, the two outer ends of the two troughs are arranged opposite to each other, the inner rail passes through the two outer ends of the two troughs to move out, and a distance between the slide sleeve at the outer end and the adjacent slide sleeve is less than a distance between any adjacent two of other slide sleeves.
9. The server chassis rail of claim 1 , wherein a distance between the slide sleeve disposed on one end of each of the troughs and the adjacent slide sleeve is less than a distance between any adjacent two of other slide sleeves.
