Description

Electronic components and function switching components

The invention relates to an electronic component and a function switching component, in particular to an electronic component and a function switching component including a cable management frame and a wind shield.

Generally speaking, in order to prevent the cables in the server from touching the electronic components and affecting the operation of the electronic components, a cable management frame is set in the server to position the cables. Moreover, the cable management frame is usually arranged in the gap between the electronic components of the server and the casing. In servers with high cooling requirements, in order to make the cooling airflow inside the server more concentrated and improve the heat exchange efficiency between the cooling airflow and the electronic components, some types of servers will omit the cable management frame and place it on the electronic components. And the gap between the casings is filled with sponge to use the sponge to achieve the effect of blocking the wind.

However, neither the cable management frame nor the sponge can take into account the functions of cable management and wind protection, which makes it difficult for manufacturers to install different types of components in the gaps between electronic components and housings according to different needs.

When the wind shield is located at the wind shield position, the wind shield is located on one side of the wire management slot and shields the wire management slot so that at least one function switching component has a wind shield function. When the wind deflector is at the relinquishing position, the wind deflector is away from the cable management slot and the cable is positioned in the cable management slot of the cable management frame so that the at least one function switching component has a cable management function.

The function switching assembly disclosed in another embodiment of the present invention is used for positioning a cable and includes a cable management frame and a wind shield. The cable management frame includes a cable management slot. One side of the wind shield is pivotally connected to the cable management frame, and includes a wind shield position and an escape position. When the wind blocking member is located at the wind blocking position, the wind blocking member is located on one side of the wire management groove and shields the wire management groove so that the function switching assembly has the wind blocking function. When the wind deflector is at the relinquishing position, the wind deflector is far away from the cable management slot and the cable is positioned in the cable management slot of the cable management frame, so that the function switching component has a cable management function.

According to the electronic components and function switching components disclosed in the above embodiments, by pivoting the wind blocking member to the cable management frame, when the wind blocking member is located at the wind blocking position, the cable management slot is covered, so that the function switching component has a wind blocking function.
