Patent number: 11832411Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a node safe locking device and a server. An outer rail is disposed between two adjacent node modules. A middle rail is slidably assembled at the outer rail. Each middle rail is driven by one node module to translate in a same direction. When the middle rail moves, the linking and interlocking rod may be driven to reach different positions. When the middle rail moves outwards from the initial position together with one of the node modules, the locking guiding lean edge drives the linking and interlocking rod to move to the locking position. At this time, the blocking locking edge of the middle rail corresponding to the other node module is blocked by the linking and interlocking rod located at the locking position, and the node module may not move outwards to realize locking.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2021Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: INSPUR SUZHOU INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Jingxian Zhu, Zhencai Cao, Ying Qian, Zhanyang Li

Publication number: 20110176755Abstract: An interlocking device for a slide rail is connected with other interlocking devices through a cable. The interlocking device has a sliding block and a rotary disc disposed on a fixed base. The rotary disc is disposed thereon with a stop block. The sliding block and the stop block are connected with the rotary disc respectively by second springs to link each other. The stop block is connected with a pulley of a slide rail. The sliding block is connected with the cable so that when the slide rail slides outward, the slide rail drives the stop block, the rotary disc, and the sliding block to move synchronously. After the pulley is separated from the stop block, the cable is drawn tightly by the sliding block to lock the other interlocking devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: MARTAS PRECISION SLIDE CO., LTD.Inventors: WAN-LAI CHEN, TSUNG-PO CHANG

Publication number: 20110069914Abstract: A drawer slide with lock mechanism has an elongated outer slide member extendably coupled to an inner slide member. A latch arm or pin is fixed to the inner slide member for latching by a lock mechanism fixed to the outer slide member. The lock mechanism uses a latch receiver that rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is in a travel path of the latch arm. A lever arm rotates with respect to the lock mechanism and is positionable to block rotation of the latch receiver in a locked position to retain the latch arm. A motor drives a cam to position the lever arm to free the latch receiver from the locked position.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2010Publication date: March 24, 2011Inventors: Darush David Hashemi, Xiaoping Zhou, Xiwen Wang

Patent number: 7857403Abstract: A retaining mechanism for a multi-section slide track assembly includes a stop actuating assembly and a resilient retainer assembly. The stop actuating assembly is provided on an intermediate slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly while the resilient retainer assembly is provided on an outer slide track of the multi-section slide track assembly. To retain a return movement of the intermediate slide track, the stop actuating assembly is directly engaged with the resilient retainer assembly to provide a high-degree effective operation of retaining reliability. The stop actuating assembly includes a stop-engaging member and a resiliently actuating member combined therewith. The resilient retainer assembly correspondingly includes a resilient stop member which can be engaged with the stop-engaging member for positioning the intermediate slide track, and can be actuated by the resiliently actuating member for releasing the intermediate slide track.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2009Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Assignee: King Slide Works, Co., Ltd.Inventors: Ken-Ching Chen, Shih-Long Hwang, Shun-Ho Yang, Chun-Chiang Wang

Patent number: 7823995Abstract: A slide assembly includes an outer slide (10), an intermediate slide (30) telescopically attached to the outer slide, an inner slide (90) telescopically attached to the intermediate slide, and a transmitting mechanism (31) detachably attached to the intermediate slide. The outer slide has a blocking portion (11). A fulcrum (365) is formed on the intermediate slide. The transmitting mechanism includes a driving member (35) and a post member (38). The driving member includes a driving portion (357), a lifting end (351), and a resilient member (37). The post member is connected to the lifting end of the driving member and traversed through the intermediate slide. A head portion (381) is formed on the post member and configured for engaging with the blocking portion. The resilient member is attached to the post member for urging the post member to return to an original position.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2007Date of Patent: November 2, 2010Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhi-Ming Duan, Jun Liu

Patent number: 7806595Abstract: A miniature linear motion guide unit can eliminate the need for additional machining on a track rail, and thus improve the accuracy of the track rail and reduce the manufacturing costs. A track rail (R) having raceway grooves (4, 5) is fixed to a mounting surface by a fixing member (A). A slider (S) straddles and moves on the track rail. The fixing member has a recessed groove (7) formed in an opposing mounting face (6) facing the mounting surface and straddling the track rail. Part of the recessed groove is in contact with the track rail when the recessed groove straddles the track rail. A mounting hole (11) is drilled in a portion of the recessed groove of the fixing member away from the track rail. A stopper member (10) such as a bolt is inserted in the mounting hole and fixed to the mounting surface.Type: GrantFiled: July 5, 2007Date of Patent: October 5, 2010Assignee: Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd.Inventors: Kenji Takamiya, Yasuhiro Otsuji
