Abstract
A rail system is described for use in a rack. The rail system comprises a rail having a self-locking mechanism to lock the rail to a rack. Additionally, the rail comprises a length adjustment mechanism that enables selective length adjustments based on the depth of the rack.
Description
- Racks are used for the mounting of multiple servers and often use four vertical support members that define the corners of the rack. Rails are mounted in pairs between the front supports and the back supports. A server is mounted to each pair of rails by, for example, slides. The pairs of rails can be placed at numerous vertical locations to receive servers in a vertical arrangement.
- Rails tend to be bulky items that are rather limited in their adaptability for use in a variety of rack systems. For example, many rails are fixed in length, and they cannot be used for the mounting of cable management systems, such as cable arms. Additionally, many rails require additional components, such as fasteners, by which each rail is attached to the rack. Thus, the attachment and detachment of rails in a rack system can be time consuming, and the rails have limited adaptability with respect to their use in racks of differing depths and with cable management systems.
- Certain embodiments of the invention will hereafter be described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals denote like elements, and:
- FIG. 1 is a side view of a rack system according to certain embodiments of the present invention;
- FIG. 2 is an isometric view of an embodiment of a rail that can be used in the rack system illustrated in FIG. 1;
- FIG. 3 is isometric view of an embodiment of a first end of the rail illustrated in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 4 is an isometric inside view of an embodiment of a second end of the rail illustrated in FIG. 2;
- FIG. 5 is a side view of the rail illustrated in FIG. 2 in a contracted state; and
- FIG. 6 is a side view similar to FIG. 5 with the rail in an expanded state.
- Referring generally to FIG. 1, a
system 10 is illustrated as representative of embodiments of the present invention.System 10 comprises arack 12, a plurality ofrails 14 andelectronic devices 16 mounted onrails 14.Electronic devices 16 may comprise a variety of devices, including servers, computers, computer related equipment, telecommunications equipment and other electronic devices that may be mounted inrack 12. Additionally,system 10 may comprisecable management systems 18 mounted to selectedrails 14. - Rack12 may be designed in a variety of configurations, depending on the particular application and the size, type and utilization of
electronic devices 16. By way of example,rack 12 may have a pair of rearvertical supports 20 and a pair of corresponding frontvertical supports 22. Arail 14 may be coupled between each rearvertical support 20 and corresponding frontvertical support 22. Thus, at a given level alongrack 12, a pair ofrails 14 may be used to support a givenelectronic device 16. - Depending on the type of
electronic device 16,cable management system 18 may be coupled to a rear of at least one of therails 14 used to support that particular electronic device. An example of acable management system 18 comprises a cable arm used to generally maintain cables coupled to a givenelectronic device 16 at a location to the rear of the device. Additionally, slides (not shown) can be utilized withrails 14 to enable sliding motion of eachelectronic device 16. The sliding motion facilitates movement of the device between a position withinrack 12 and an extended position for performing service or other operations on the device. - Referring generally to FIG. 2, an embodiment of one of the
rails 14 is illustrated. In this embodiment,rail 14 comprises afirst end 24 and asecond end 26 disposed generally on an opposite longitudinal end of the rail fromfirst end 24.First end 24 andsecond end 26 are connected via arail structure 28. By way of example,first end 24 may be selectively coupled to one of the frontvertical supports 22, andsecond end 26 may be coupled to the corresponding rearvertical support 20 such thatrail structure 28 extends between the frontvertical support 22 and the rearvertical support 20. -
Rail 14 further comprises a self-locking mechanism 30 that automatically locksrail 14 tovertical supports rail 14 is attached intorack 12. Self-locking mechanism 30 comprises at least one self-lock 32. By way of example, the self-locking mechanism 30 may comprise a pair of self-locks 32 with a self-lock 32 disposed at each of thefirst end 24 and thesecond end 26. - Although self-
locks 32 may have various configurations, an embodiment of the self-lock 32 is illustrated in FIGS. 2 and 3. In this embodiment, self-lock 32 comprises apin 34 that is biased to extend through a rail end, e.g.,first end 24 orsecond end 26. Eachpin 34 is positioned to engagerack 12 via a rack recess or an opening, such as a conventional square hole that may be formed in each vertical support ofrack 12. - Each
pin 34 may be coupled to aslide bar 36 that is slidingly coupled torail structure 28. For example, eachslide bar 36 may be captively and slideably held by mountingpins 38 extending fromrail structure 28.Mounting pins 38 may be slideably received in acorresponding slot 40 formed in eachslide bar 36. - Additionally, each
pin 34 may be biased towards a lock position by a spring member 42, as illustrated in FIG. 3. By way of example, spring member 42 may be captured between astructural portion 44 ofslide bar 36 andrail structure 28 to move theslide bar 36 andpin 34 to the position in whichpin 34 extends through therail end - A
handle 46 may be coupled to slidebar 36 to facilitate retraction ofpin 34 against the bias of spring 42 during detachment ofrail 14 fromrack 12. However, during installation, thepin 34 may automatically be pushed to a retracted position by abutment with therack 12 untilpin 34 passes into an appropriate opening in the vertical support. At this stage, spring 42biases pin 34 to its extended, locked position, as illustrated in FIG. 3. - Although
first end 24 andsecond end 26 may be formed in a variety of configurations, one example is illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4. As illustrated in FIG. 3,first end 24 may comprise abracket 48 from which engagement features 50 extend for engagement withrack 12. In the embodiment illustrated, a pair of engagement features 50 extend frombracket 48 in the form ofdownturned tabs 52 sized and positioned to move through conventional rectangular rack holes for engagement with the rack. However, a variety of other rack engagement features and brackets may be utilized depending on the desired design of the overall rack and rail system. Furthermore,bracket 48 may comprise anopening 54 through whichpin 34 extends. - Similarly,
second end 26 comprises abracket 56 connected torail structure 28.Second end 26 further comprises anengagement feature 58 that may comprise a pair ofdownturned tabs 60 similar totabs 52 offirst end 24. Furthermore,bracket 56 may have anopening 62 through which a self-lockingpin 34 extends. - With further reference to FIG. 4,
rail 14 may further comprise a cablearm attachment bracket 64. Cablearm attachment bracket 64 is designed to permit connection of acable management system 18 to rail 14 rather than to one of the rearvertical supports 20 ofrack 12.Bracket 64 may be designed in a variety of configurations depending on the design of a corresponding cable management arm. However, the example illustrated in FIG. 4 comprises anexternal frame 66 that substantially defines aninterior region 68 for slideably receiving a cable arm mount or other cable management system mounting feature. - Referring generally to FIGS. 5 and 6,
rail 14 further comprises alength adjustment mechanism 70 that enables the extension and contraction ofrail 14 to accommodate racks of differing depths. For example, the longitudinal length ofrail 14 may be adjusted between a contracted state, as illustrated in FIG. 5, and an extended state, as illustrated in FIG. 6. Although otherlength adjustment mechanism 70 may be utilized, one embodiment comprises aslide bracket 72 slideably mounted on aslide base member 74. In this embodiment,slide bracket 72 andslide base member 74 are combined intorail structure 28, andfirst end 24 is affixed toslide base member 74 whilesecond end 26 is affixed to slidebracket 72. - By way of example,
slide bracket 72 may be slideably mounted toslide base member 74 via a plurality ofpins 76 that extend through a corresponding groove 78.Pins 76 haveoversized heads 80 that prevent inadvertent separation ofslide bracket 72 andslide base member 74. Asfirst end 24 andsecond end 26 are moved towards or away from one another, pins 76 translate along groove 78. By way of further example, groove 78 may be formed longitudinally alongslide bracket 72, and pins 76 may extend through groove 78 to slidebase member 74 to which they are connected. - Accordingly, each of the
rails 14 may be tool-lessly attached to or detached from a variety of racks of differing depths. The self-lockingmechanism 30 enables the automatic locking of a givenrail 14 at a desired location within therack 12, and handles 46 permit the simple, tool-less unlocking and detachment of the rail from the rack. Furthermore, cablearm attachment bracket 64 enables the attachment of a cable arm or other type of cable management system directly to a givenrail 14. It should be understood, however, that the embodiments described herein have been provided to enhance the understanding of the reader, but those embodiments should not be construed as limiting the invention as set forth in the claims.
