DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN RACK FOR SERVER AND SIMILAR WITH CLOSURE
IN MIXED SHEET
Abstract
DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN RACK FOR SERVER AND SIMILAR WITH
CLOSURE IN MIXED SHEET consists essentially in a rack (1) for
server with a closure made of sheet (2) with thermoplastic

Claims
1) DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN RACK FOR SERVER AND SIMILAR WITH
CLOSURE IN MIXED SHEET is made from a chassis (4) formed with
shapes (3) which fit into each other (E), wherein, once structured,
it is filled in by mixed sheets (2), which are nothing more than a
thermoplastic laminates basically composed by polypropylene, wood
flour and agglutinating additives dosed according to the intended
mechanic particularities.
Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present Utility Model Patent request refers to a new
DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN RACK FOR SERVER AND SIMILAR WITH CLOSURE
IN MIXED SHEET, especially of a rack or similar product to be used
for conditioning of servers, and this product is highlighted for
revealing singular features that allow its construction with
closure in mixed sheet, in an ideal mixture of polypropylene, wood
wastes and joining additives, offering an ecologically correct
product liable to receive the most assorted finishings, assuring an
excellent cost/benefit relation concerning all the other similar
products.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The so-called racks for server are quite known,
strategically distributed in data centers or less specific
locations. With the technological convergence composed by a
combination of hardware and software, it appears the necessity of
optimizing the square meter occupation of those data centers, being
used in such cases the racks for server passible of allocating such
equipment in a vertical arrangement. Therefore the binomial to be
optimized in technology and computing infrastructure is space
saving x performance benefit, and for each case there will be an
appropriate architecture.
[0003] The racks at issue have a tower shape, more specifically a
rectangular prism shape, and they can hold forty servers in
average.
[0004] The referred towers may show different set-ups and
dimensions, keeping a height measure standard of the devices
assembled on it, known as "Rack Unit". The measures proper are
represented by the equivalent number followed by the letter
"U".
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] In the present state of the art, the racks are manufactured
from a shape chassis duly connected to each other, and they are
plugged by closures made of carbon steel or aluminum sheets. The
said sheets show a series of nuisances, starting with the raw
material procurement process, which demand the utilization of
non-renewable natural resources, both for aluminum and for carbon
steel. Besides, such processes require large amounts of energy. On
the other hand, the carbon steel sheets are required to receive
some kind of surface protection and finishing that, just like the
procurement process, generates a large environmental liability. It
is clear that the use of carbon steel sheets subjects the assembly
to an early deterioration, especially if the finishing quality is
not good.
[0006] Besides, those conventional models present a high specific
density, which impairs any transport logistic strategy.
[0007] The rack imagined by the inventor stands out for showing a
particular construction, in which the closure is made with mixed
sheet, more specifically of thermoplastic. The referred closure is
liable to receive any type of coating, being 100% recyclable.
[0008] Thus, the rack with the demanded closure presents a mechanic
resistance compatible with the conventional materials, low density,
high flexibility and moldability.
[0009] On the other hand, the rack with the proposed closure does
not suffer early deterioration, notedly because the thermoplastic
is highly resistant and durable.
[0010] To follow, it is explained the Model with reference to the
attached drawing, in which is represented of an illustrative, and
not limitative, way.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0011] FIG. 1: View in exploded perspective of the disposition
introduced in rack for server with closure in mixed sheet, with
detail in cut of the sheet.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
[0012] The DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN RACK FOR SERVER AND SIMILAR
WITH CLOSURE IN MIXED SHEET, object of this Utility Model Patent
request consists essentially in a rack (1) for server with a
closure made with thermoplastic material sheet (2), which are
anchored on shapes (3) which reassemble the chassis (4) of the rack
(1), and thus they may take the most varied configurations and
constructive dispositions.
[0013] More specifically, the rack (1) for server whatever its
configuration may be, is made from a chassis (4) formed by shapes
(3) which fit into each other (E); once it is structured, it is
liable to be filled in with mixed sheets (2), which are nothing
more than thermoplastic laminates basically made of polypropylene,
wood flour and agglutinant additives dosed according to the
intended mechanic particularities, and those sheets may receive
assorted coatings.
[0014] In this way, the rack (1) creates an ecologically correct
product, especially by the above described composition and by the
fact of being 100% recyclable, which makes it both technically and
commercially attractive.
[0015] Therefore, according to the enclosed figure, with the said
sheet (2), it can achieve the removal of several steps of the rack
(1) manufacturing, also facilitating the attainment of angle
contours such as that of the illustrated door (P), by hot
molding.
[0016] Besides the preconized benefits, the model at issue stands
out also for containing significant advantages in the resistance
and durability level, notedly when it is compared to those made of
carbon steel sheet.
