Abstract

A rail device for extracting computer equipment is composed of an outer rail, an outer end of which is provided with a front fixing part; and an inner rail, which is a long plate, a rear end of which is provided with a rear fixing part, and which is glidingly transfixed into a main slot of outer rail. The inner rail is glidingly displaced in the main slot, such that the inner rail and the outer rail can be quickly and conveniently installed on a rack assembly.

Claims

1. A rail device for extracting computer equipment, comprising:

an outer rail, an outer end of which is provided with a front fixing part, and an interior of which is formed with a main slot having a central indentation in a middle of bottom thereof, with a fixing pillar being located in the central indentation, and with gliding slots being located along two sides of the central indentation; and

an inner rail, which is a long plate, a rear end of which is provided with a rear fixing part, and an interior of which is formed with a main slot having a long through-hole at a bottom surface thereof, with a rear stopping part being located at the long through-hole, with at least more than one pillar being fixed on a back surface of the inner rail, with the pillars being glidingly transfixed into the gliding slots of outer rail, and with the fixing pillar of outer rail being glidingly transfixed into the long through-hole;

the inner rail being able to be glidingly displaced in the main slot, the long through-hole being glidingly displaced with the fixing pillar as a guiding rod, the rear stopping part being abutted on the fixing pillar, and the pillars on inner rail being glidingly displaced in the gliding slots.

2. The rail device for extracting computer equipment according to claim 1, wherein the outer rail is formed into an integral body by riveting an outer casing and an inner casing, the gliding slots, front fixing part, and central indentation are located on the inner casing, an end of the gliding slot is provided with a stopping part, and the fixing pillar is fixed on the central indentation.

3. The rail device for extracting computer equipment according to claim 1, wherein the front fixing parts of two outer rails are fixed on two rear beams of a rack assembly respectively, and the rear fixing parts of inner rails are fixed on two front beams of the rack assembly respectively.

4. The rail device for extracting computer equipment according to claim 1, wherein the main slots of inner rails are glidingly connected with inner gliding plates which are fixed and assembled at two sides of computer equipment respectively, and can be glidingly displaced on the main slots of inner rails.

5. The rail device for extracting computer equipment according to claim 1, wherein top rings of larger outer diameters are located above the pillars fixed on the inner rails, and above the pillars of outer rails.
