Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a server cabinet.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] A door of a server cabinet is generally rotatably attached
to the housing of the cabinet. Therefore, space must be reserved
for swinging the door open, which is a waste space, considering
that other than the occasions of opening the door, the reserved
space remains unused.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better
understood with reference to the following drawings. The components
in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis
instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of
the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views
are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding
parts throughout the several views.
[0006] FIG. 1 is an isometric view of an exemplary embodiment of a
server cabinet.
[0007] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a circled portion II of FIG.
1.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0008] The disclosure, including the accompanying drawings, is
illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation. It
should be noted that references to "an" or "one" embodiment in this
disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such
references mean at least one.
[0009] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, an exemplary embodiment of a
server cabinet includes a housing 10, a door 20, two elongated
slide rails 30, and a plurality of slide blocks 40.
[0010] The housing 10 includes two opposite side plates 12, a top
plate 11 connected between top ends of the side plates 12, and a
bottom plate 13 connected between bottom ends of the side plates
12.
[0011] The slide rails 30 are respectively fixed to inner surfaces
of front ends of the top plate 11 and the bottom plate 13, between
and perpendicular to the slide plates 12. A slide slot 31 is
longitudinally defined in each slide rail 30, with an opening 32 of
the slide slot 31 facing the other slide rail 30. A width of the
opening 32 is less than a width of the slide slot 31.
[0012] The slide blocks 40 are slidably mounted to the
corresponding slide rails 30. Each slide block 40 includes a main
body 41 received in the corresponding slide slot 31, and a mounting
tab 42 extending perpendicularly from the main body 41 to extend
through the corresponding opening 32. A hooking hole 421 is defined
in each mounting tab 42.
[0013] The door 20 is foldable and includes a plurality of door
pieces 21 connected in series. The door pieces 21 may be made of
metal or plastic. A side of the door piece 21 adjacent to one of
the side plates 12 is fixed to a front end of the side plate 12.
Two hooks 23 respectively protrude from a top end and a bottom end
of each door piece 21. The hooks 23 extend through the
corresponding hooking holes 421 to hook the corresponding mounting
pieces 42. Therefore, the door pieces 21 can be folded or spread
under the slide blocks 40 sliding in the corresponding slide slots
31, to cover or expose the interior of the housing 10.
[0014] It is believed that the present embodiments and their
advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and
various changes may be made thereto without departing from the
spirit and scope of the description or sacrificing all of their
material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely
being exemplary embodiments.
