Problems solved by technology

[0002] In a traditional rack-mounted server system, there is a printed circuit board and a fan plugged on it. The fan plug-in structure is located below the fan and is plugged vertically with the connector on the printed circuit board. vertical space between boards and fans, resulting in a reduction in available height within the server chassis
[0003] When the printed circuit board fails, because of the above-mentioned fan plug-in structure, if you want to take out the faulty printed circuit board, you must stop the operation of the entire system, and take out the printed circuit board and the fan together for processing, or remove the fan above the printed circuit board. Take out the fan after it stops and replace the printed circuit board. However, these methods affect the heat dissipation performance of these fans and reduce the system performance.

Embodiment Construction

[0090] see figure 1 , the chassis 100 includes a casing 10 , a fan frame 20 and a fan module 30 .

[0091] In some embodiments, the chassis 100 is a rack-mounted server system, and the fan module 30 is carried by the fan frame 20 . The fan module 30 is, for example, but not limited to, a model 6056 fan, and the size of the model 6056 fan is 60mm (mm)*60mm* 56mm. The height of rack servers is in U (1U is equal to 1.75 inches and 44.45 mm), and there are usually several standard servers from 1U to 7U. In some embodiments, the chassis 100 is used for a 2U server. With this design, the space below the fan module 30 can be freed up for other applications, such as the travel of motherboard detachment, or other structural designs. The fan module 30 can extract the hot air generated when the components in the chassis 100 (eg, the CPU, the front SSD, etc.) operate, for heat dissipation.

[0092] In some embodiments, the fan module 30 is an independent kit (described in detail later)...

Abstract

The invention provides a case, a fan module and a fan frame thereof. The case comprises a shell, a fan frame and a fan module. A back plate and a main plate are arranged in the shell, the main plate is connected to the back plate along a first shaft, the back plate is connected with a plug connector, the plug connector comprises a plug connector body and a plurality of connecting terminals, and the connecting terminals are located on the plug connector body. The fan frame bears a fan module, the fan module comprises a fan assembly and a butt joint connector, the butt joint connector is located on the side edge of the fan assembly and connected with the fan assembly, the butt joint connector is connected to the plug connector along a second shaft, the butt joint connector comprises a butt joint connector body and a plurality of butt joint terminals, and the butt joint terminals are located on the butt joint connector body. The fan frame is fixed in the shell and located on one side of the main board.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fan module, in particular to a fan module mounted on a fan frame and suitable for a chassis. Background technique [0002] In a traditional rack-mounted server system, there is a fan on a printed circuit board that is plugged and connected to it. The fan plug-in structure is located below the fan and plugged vertically with the connector on the printed circuit board. This design will occupy the printed circuit. The vertical space between the board and the fan reduces the available height within the server chassis. [0003] When the printed circuit board fails, because of the above-mentioned fan plug-in structure, to remove the faulty printed circuit board, the operation of the entire system must be stopped, and the printed circuit board and the fan must be taken out for processing, or the upper part of the printed circuit board must be removed. After the fan is stopped, take it out and replace the printed circuit board. Howe...
