plate toward the same direction, and the positioning plates are
slidably engaged with inner surfaces of the side plates of the
supporting pole.
4. The server cabinet of claim 3, wherein tops of the side plates
of each supporting pole define a plurality of through holes arrayed
along a lengthwise direction of the side plates, the positioning
plates of each sliding member define a plurality of position holes
arrayed along a lengthwise direction of the positioning plates, the
position holes align with the through holes, and the fasteners are
mounted in the through holes and corresponding position holes.
5. The server cabinet of claim 3, wherein each sliding member
further comprises a stopping portion protruding out from a top of
the positioning plates, to be stopped on the top of the
corresponding supporting pole.
6. The server cabinet of claim 3, wherein each supporting pole
further comprises two flanges protruding toward each other from
distal sides of the side plates, opposite to the corresponding
supporting plate.
7. The server cabinet of claim 1, wherein each fastener comprises a
screw and a nut.
Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a server cabinet.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] Server cabinets usually include a base, a cover, and a
plurality of supporting poles mounted between the base and the
cover. However, the length of the supporting poles cannot be
changed.
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 exploded, isometric view of an embodiment of a
server cabinet.
[0007] FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the circled portion II of FIG.
1.
[0008] FIG. 3 is an assembled, isometric view of the server cabinet
of FIG. 1.
[0009] FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3, but shows a different state of
use.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0010] The present disclosure, including the accompanying drawings,
is illustrated by way of examples 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."
[0011] FIGS. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of a server cabinet 100
comprising a substantially rectangular bottom wall 20, four
substantially U-shaped cross-sections supporting poles 30, four
adjusting apparatuses 50, and a cover 60. The four supporting pole
30 extend substantially perpendicularly up from four corners of the
bottom wall 20,
[0012] Each supporting pole 30 comprises a rectangular supporting
plate 32 extending up from the bottom wall 20, two side plates 33
perpendicularly extending inward from two opposite sides of the
supporting plate 32, and two flanges 35 protruding toward each
other from distal sides of the side plates 33 opposite to the
supporting plate 32. The supporting plate 32, the side plates 33,
and the flanges 35 cooperatively bound a receiving slot 36. Distal
ends of the side plates 33 define two pairs of through holes
332.
[0013] Each adjusting assembly 50 comprises a substantially
U-shaped cross-section sliding member 52 and four fasteners 53. The
sliding member 52 comprises a rectangular sliding plate 522, two
positioning plates 523 extending substantially perpendicularly out
from two opposite sides of the sliding plate 522, and a stopping
portion 526 protruding up from a top of the positioning plates 523.
The positioning plates 523 define a plurality of position holes 525
arrayed along a lengthwise direction of the positioning plates
523.
[0014] Each fastener 53 can comprise a screw 532 and a nut 533.
[0015] FIG. 3 shows that in assembly of the server cabinet 100,
bottom ends of the sliding members 52 are inserted into the
receiving slots 36 until the stopping portions 526 are stopped on
the top ends of the corresponding supporting poles 30. The sliding
plates 522 are slidably engaged with inner surfaces of the
supporting plates 32, the positioning plates 523 are slidably
engaged with inner surfaces of the side plates 33, and the
positioning holes 525 align with the through holes 332. The screws
532 extend through the through holes 332 and the corresponding
positioning holes 525, to engage with the nuts 533. The cover 60 is
mounted on the top ends of the sliding members 52.
[0016] FIG. 4 shows that in use, each fastener 53 is disengaged
from the corresponding supporting poles 30. The sliding members 52
are slid along the corresponding receiving slots 36, until the
server cabinet 100 reaches a predetermined height. The screws 532
extend through the through holes 332 and the corresponding
positioning holes 525, to engage with the nuts 533.
[0017] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the
embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description,
together with details of the structure and function of the
embodiments, the present disclosure is illustrative only, and
changes may be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape,
size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the
embodiments to the full extent indicated by the broad general
meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are
expressed.
