Abstract

A pluggable mechanism with a synchronous connecting rod includes a turnover connecting rod reversibly disposed on a surface of a jig housing, a synchronous connecting rod fixedly connected to a rod body of the turnover connecting rod, and a plurality of clamping claws connected to the synchronous connecting rod and configured to clamp corresponding connectors respectively to rotate and apply forces for plugging and unplugging. A clamping groove configured to clamp the connector is disposed in an outer edge of each clamping claw, and a rotation center hole configured to cooperate with a centering pin shaft reserved on the jig housing is disposed in a surface of each clamping claw.

Claims (29)

1. A pluggable mechanism with a synchronous connecting rod, comprising:

a turnover connecting rod disposed on a surface of a jig housing in a turnover manner;

the synchronous connecting rod fixedly connected to a rod body of the turnover connecting rod; and

a plurality of clamping claws connected to the synchronous connecting rod and configured to clamp corresponding connectors respectively to rotate and apply forces for plugging and unplugging, and wherein a clamping groove configured to clamp a corresponding connector is disposed in an outer edge of each clamping claw, and a rotation center hole configured to cooperate with a centering pin shaft reserved on the jig housing is disposed in a surface of each clamping claw.

2. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 1 , wherein two turnover connecting rods are simultaneously distributed on the jig housing and located on outer walls of both sides of the jig housing respectively.

3. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 2 , wherein a connecting beam that facilitates manual force application for simultaneous operation is connected between front ends of the turnover connecting rods at both sides.

4. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 3 , wherein a tail end of the turnover connecting rod is fixedly connected to a middle or two ends of the synchronous connecting rod.

5. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 4 , wherein an end portion of each clamping claw is detachably connected with the synchronous connecting rod through a fastener.

6. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 5 , wherein the synchronous connecting rod is a groove-shaped part, and the end portion of each clamping claw is inserted into a groove of the synchronous connecting rod, and is clamped by groove walls of both sides through the fastener.

7. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 1 , further comprising an auxiliary connecting rod component connected between the plurality of clamping claws and configured to transmit an acting force between the plurality of clamping claws to improve motion synchrony of the plurality of clamping claws.

8. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 7 , wherein the auxiliary connecting rod component comprises a first auxiliary connecting rod disposed against the surface of each clamping claw-, and a first rotating shaft in running fit with a first through hole disposed in the surface of each clamping claw is disposed on a surface of the first auxiliary connecting rod.

9. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 8 , wherein a first cambered hole configured to avoid the centering pin shaft during rotation is disposed in the surface of the first auxiliary connecting rod.

10. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 9 , wherein the auxiliary connecting rod component further comprises a second auxiliary connecting rod disposed against the surface of the first auxiliary connecting rod, and a second rotating shaft in running fit with a second through hole disposed in the surface of each clamping claw is erected on a surface of the second auxiliary connecting rod; and

the first through hole and the second through hole are disposed in both sides of the rotation center hole respectively.

11. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 10 , wherein a second cambered hole configured to avoid the centering pin shaft during the rotation is disposed in the surface of the second auxiliary connecting rod.

12. The pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod according to claim 2 , wherein the two turnover connecting rods are applied to two connectors at different positions on a single server mainboard.

13. A jig for assisting a pluggable connector, wherein the jig comprises:

a jig housing detachably mounted to a server chassis, and

a pluggable mechanism with a synchronous connecting rod disposed on the jig housing, and the pluggable mechanism with the synchronous connecting rod comprises:

a turnover connecting rod disposed on a surface of a jig housing in a turnover manner;

the synchronous connecting rod fixedly connected to a rod body of the turnover connecting rod; and

a plurality of clamping claws connected to the synchronous connecting rod and configured to clamp corresponding connectors respectively to rotate and apply forces for plugging and unplugging, and wherein a clamping groove configured to clamp a corresponding connector is disposed in an outer edge of each clamping claw, and a rotation center hole configured to cooperate with a centering pin shaft reserved on the jig housing is disposed in a surface of each clamping claw.

14. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 13 , wherein a plurality of positioning columns configured to cooperate with respective insertion holes reversed in the server chassis and locate mounting positions of the jig housing are disposed on an inner surface of the jig housing.

15. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 14 , wherein a plurality of elastic columns configured to abut with a surface of the server chassis and increase a mounting preload between the jig housing and the server chassis are further disposed on the inner surface of the jig housing.

16. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 15 , wherein a handle groove convenient to grab with a hand to apply a force to push and pull the jig housing is disposed in an outer surface of the jig housing.

17. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 14 , wherein the plurality of positioning columns are located in each corner of the jig housing.

18. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 16 , wherein the handle groove comprises a plurality of wavy grooves.

19. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 13 , wherein two turnover connecting rods are simultaneously distributed on the jig housing and located on outer walls of both sides of the jig housing respectively.

20. The jig for assisting the pluggable connector according to claim 19 , wherein a connecting beam that facilitates manual force application for simultaneous operation is connected between front ends of the turnover connecting rods at both sides.
