Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chassis technology, and in particular to an air guide shroud component. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing demand for high-density and high-computing power in electronic devices, height-enhanced memory components are widely used. These components are approximately 20mm taller than conventional memory. Due to the higher center of gravity of these heat-generating components, the top of the heat-generating components is prone to significant shaking during vibration and impact during transport or during operation. This can lead to poor contact between the gold fingers of the heat-generating components and the motherboard slot, resulting in damage to the heat-generating components or system crashes.

[0003] Therefore, how to improve the reliability of heating elements is a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wind guide shroud component that can significantly improve the positional constraint effect on the heating element and improve the positional reliability of the heating element.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0006] An air guide shroud component includes: an air guide shroud body having a plurality of recesses, the windward surface of which is provided with a guide surface to guide airflow toward a first heating element located below the recesses; and a limiting clearance hole on the air guide shroud body corresponding to the first heating element; and a support component detachably mounted on the limiting clearance hole, the bottom of which cooperates with the first heating element in a left-right direction to limit its movement, the left-right direction being perpendicular to the airflow direction.

[0007] The air guide shroud component provided by this invention has several recesses on its main body, and the windward surface of each recess has a guiding surface. When airflow flows along the airflow direction of the main body, the guiding surface can guide the airflow towards the first heating element located below the recesses, so that more of the airflow entering the chassis flows towards the first heating element that needs heat dissipation. The first heating element is mounted on the motherboard inside the chassis, with the main body of the air guide shroud located above the motherboard, and the first heating element located between the recesses of the main body and the motherboard. To reduce the shaking of the first heating element, a limiting clearance hole is provided on the main body of the air guide shroud at the position corresponding to the first heating element. Additionally, a supporting component is added. The bottom of the device engages with the first heating element in a left-right direction, perpendicular to the airflow direction. The support component effectively limits the left-right movement of the first heating element, reducing the risk of it swaying and decreasing the probability of detachment or damage from the main board. Simultaneously, the support component is detachably mounted on the limiting clearance hole. This facilitates easy installation and removal of the support component, allowing it to be replaced to meet the limiting requirements of first heating elements of different sizes or specifications. Furthermore, when the first heating element is not installed at the bottom of the air guide body, or when the air guide body does not require limiting support for the first heating element, the support component can be omitted, expanding its applicability and simplifying operation. In other words, the air guide shroud, as a basic airflow guiding structure covering the first heating element, can guide airflow towards the first heating element. By setting corresponding limiting and avoidance holes on the air guide shroud and designing detachable support components to cooperate with the first heating element in the left and right directions to limit the flow, the rigid structure of the air guide shroud is directly transformed into effective support for the first heating element. This structure solves the technical problem in related technologies where the air guide shroud component only has an air guiding function, and in high vibration and impact environments, the lack of lateral restraint on the top of the first heating element leads to poor contact of the gold fingers and even system crashes. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the support components and the limiting and avoidance holes, the vibration and impact resistance of the first heating element is greatly improved without occupying additional internal space of the chassis, thereby improving the environmental adaptability and long-term operational stability of the entire chassis.

[0008] The air guide shroud component provided by this invention integrates airflow and heat dissipation with physical support and limiting. It can utilize the structural characteristics of the air guide shroud body without adding new assembly space to increase stability or setting up an independent support structure, thereby effectively improving the internal space utilization of the chassis and meeting the design requirements of compactness and high integration of high-density, high-computing-power electronic devices.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first heating element is a memory component, which includes a sheet-like structure. A limiting groove is provided at the bottom of the supporting component, and both the sheet-like structure and the limiting groove extend along the airflow direction. The limiting groove is adapted to the sheet-like structure to restrict its displacement in the left-right direction. Specifically, to meet assembly requirements, the width of the limiting groove in the left-right direction should match the width of the sheet-like structure in the left-right direction. That is, when the supporting component is installed, the sheet-like structure of the memory component just enters the limiting groove, leaving only an assembly gap between the limiting groove and the sheet-like structure. This configuration, utilizing the sheet-like structure of the memory component—that is, the structural characteristics of a memory module—uses the limiting groove on the supporting component to limit the sheet-like structure of the memory component, preventing the memory component from wobbling in the left-right direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the thickness of the first limiting block along the height direction is greater than the thickness of the limiting clearance hole along the height direction; a limiting groove is formed on the first limiting block, and the depth of the limiting groove is equal to the difference in thickness between the first limiting block and the limiting clearance hole along the height direction; the left-right direction, the airflow direction, and the height direction are all perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the thickness of the first limiting block is greater than the thickness of the limiting clearance hole to ensure that the first limiting block can penetrate the limiting clearance hole, thereby achieving the limiting of the first heating element. At the same time, the depth of the limiting groove is equal to the difference in thickness between the first limiting block and the limiting clearance hole. This arrangement ensures that the bottom of the recess can abut against the first heating element along the height direction, and that the limiting groove can be completely locked onto the first heating element, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0011] In one embodiment, the main body of the air guide cover is also provided with a crossbeam, which is suspended on the limiting and avoiding hole; the crossbeam is provided with a snap-fit ​​part, and the support component is provided with a slot, so that the support component can slide along the airflow direction of the limiting and avoiding hole until the snap-fit ​​part enters the slot; and after the support component is installed in place, the crossbeam and the upper surface of the support component are in contact. Specifically, the installation of the support component means that after the slot and the engaging part of the support component are engaged, the upper surface of the support component is in contact with the bottom of the crossbeam. The crossbeam prevents the support component from moving upward. At the same time, under the action of the limiting protrusion, the support component can abut against the upper surface of the limiting clearance hole, preventing the support component from moving downward, thereby limiting the position of the support component in the height direction. The above setting, by suspending the crossbeam on the limiting clearance hole, is equivalent to setting a fixed and stable rigid mechanical fulcrum directly above the first heating element, providing a basis for the assembly and locking of the support component, reducing the risk of shaking of the support component, and thus reducing the risk of shaking of the first heating element. Furthermore, the bottom of the support component is limited in the left and right direction with the first heating element, and slides in the airflow direction. When the slot of the support component is engaged with the engaging part on the crossbeam, this sliding limiting mechanism completes the full degree of freedom fixation of the support component in the height direction and the airflow direction, thereby forming a rigid frame for the first heating element, thus preventing the top of the first heating element from shaking under working vibration or transportation impact.

[0012] In one embodiment, the crossbeam is further provided with an elastic cantilever, which extends towards the front of the crossbeam along the airflow direction. A locking part is located at the lower part of the elastic cantilever. When the support component is pushed from front to back, the locking part causes the elastic cantilever to bend. After the locking part engages with the slot, the elastic cantilever returns to its original position. This configuration, utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the elastic cantilever, allows the elastic cantilever to be deformed by external force before the support component is installed in place. This causes the locking part on the elastic cantilever to avoid the support component. When the support component is moved into place, the elastic cantilever returns to its original position, and the locking part on the elastic cantilever can then engage with the slot on the support component, completing the assembly of the support component. This method is convenient and has high installation efficiency.

[0013] In one embodiment, a guide slope is provided at the bottom front side of the snap-fit ​​part. When the guide slope is in contact with the edge of the support member, it can push the elastic cantilever to undergo elastic deformation. With the above configuration, when the support member is pushed from front to back, the airflow direction is parallel to the front-back direction, and the airflow flows from back to front. The support member is pushed from front to back, and the snap-fit ​​part will cause the elastic cantilever to bend. The greater the bending amplitude of the elastic cantilever, the greater the elastic resistance. When the support member moves into place, the snap-fit ​​part corresponds to the position of the slot, the bent elastic cantilever returns to its original position, releases stress, and is accompanied by a clear "click" sound, indicating that the installation is complete. The operation is convenient and tool-free installation is achieved.

[0014] In one embodiment, the crossbeam is further provided with an unlocking component located on the upper part of the elastic cantilever. The unlocking component can cause the elastic cantilever to deform until the locking part moves out of the slot. This configuration, by adding an unlocking component and using it to drive the deformation of the elastic cantilever, allows the elastic cantilever to be lifted out of its locked position simply by pushing the unlocking component backward when disassembling the support component. At this point, the locking part disengages from the slot, and the support component can be slid out in the opposite direction. The entire process requires no external tools, meeting the data center's requirements for rapid maintenance and reduced repair time.

[0015] In one embodiment, the device further includes a stop block with a slot that can engage with a locking part; the stop block has limiting protrusions extending at both ends along the airflow direction, which abut against the upper surface of the limiting clearance hole to prevent the stop block from falling into the limiting clearance hole; the stop block and the support component are optionally installed on the limiting clearance hole. The above setup, by adding a stop block, achieves the sealing effect of the limiting clearance hole. Except for the structure of the limiting block, the stop block and the support component are basically the same. The stop block and the support component share the limiting clearance hole and the snap-fit ​​mechanism, namely the matching structure of the slot and the snap-fit ​​part, achieving both support for the support component and sealing of the gap by the stop block. In actual use, when the air guide shroud body has multiple limiting clearance holes, the support component and the stop block can be installed on which limiting clearance hole according to the actual position of the first heating element. This design allows the same motherboard to be compatible with both heightened memory configurations requiring physical reinforcement and ordinary memory configurations requiring only basic heat dissipation and sealing.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] In this embodiment, the air guide shroud component includes: an air guide shroud body 1, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The device has several recesses 11, and the windward surface of each recess 11 has a guide surface 12 to guide the airflow to the first heating element 200 located below the recess 11. Furthermore, the air guide shroud body 1 has a limiting clearance hole 13 at a position corresponding to the first heating element 200. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 and Figure 5 Support component 2, please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10The support component 2 is detachably installed on the limiting and avoiding hole 13, and the bottom of the support component 2 is matched and limited with the first heating element 200 in the left and right direction, which is perpendicular to the airflow direction.

[0034] Specifically, the left-right direction and airflow direction refer to the state when the air guide shroud body 1 is installed inside the chassis. The airflow direction is parallel to the front-back direction of the chassis, and the overall structure of the air guide shroud body 1 extends along the left-right and front-back directions. By providing several recesses 11 on the air guide shroud body 1, and a guide surface 12 on the windward side of each recess 11, when the airflow flows along the airflow direction of the air guide shroud body 1, the guide surface 12 can guide the airflow towards the first heating element 200 located below the recesses 11, so that more airflow entering the chassis flows towards the first heating element 200 that needs cooling. The first heating element 200 is installed on the motherboard 100 inside the chassis, with the air guide shroud body 1 located above the motherboard 100, and the first heating element 200 located between the recesses 11 of the air guide shroud body 1 and the motherboard 100. To reduce the shaking of the first heating element 200, a limiting clearance hole 13 is provided on the air guide shroud body 1 at a position corresponding to the first heating element 200. Simultaneously, by adding a support component 2, support is provided... The bottom of component 2 engages with and limits the first heating element 200 in the left-right direction, which is perpendicular to the airflow direction. With the help of component 2, the first heating element 200 can be limited in the left-right direction, reducing the risk of the first heating element 200 shaking and lowering the probability of detachment or damage from the main board 100. At the same time, component 2 is detachably installed on the limiting clearance hole 13. On the one hand, it can facilitate the installation and removal of component 2, and component 2 can be replaced to meet the limiting requirements of first heating elements 200 of different sizes or specifications. On the other hand, when the bottom of the air guide body 1 is not equipped with the first heating element 200, or when the air guide body 1 does not need to limit and support the first heating element 200, component 2 can be omitted, thus improving the applicability and facilitating operation.

[0035] In other words, the air guide shroud body 1, as a basic airflow guiding structure covering the first heating element 200, can guide the airflow to the first heating element 200. By setting corresponding limiting and avoidance holes 13 on the air guide shroud body 1 and designing a detachable support component 2 to cooperate with the first heating element 200 in the left and right directions to limit the flow, the rigid structure of the air guide shroud body 1 is directly transformed into effective support for the first heating element 200. This structure solves the technical problem in related technologies where the air guide shroud component only has the function of air guidance, and in high vibration and impact environments, the lack of lateral constraint on the top of the first heating element 200 leads to poor contact of the gold fingers and even system crashes. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the support component 2 and the limiting and avoidance holes 13, the vibration and impact resistance of the first heating element 200 is improved without occupying additional internal space of the chassis, thereby improving the environmental adaptability and long-term operational stability of the entire chassis.

[0036] The air guide shroud component provided by this invention integrates airflow and heat dissipation with physical support and limiting. It can utilize the structural characteristics of the air guide shroud body 1 without adding new assembly space to increase stability or setting up an independent support structure, thereby effectively improving the internal space utilization of the chassis and meeting the design requirements of compactness and high integration of high-density, high-computing-power electronic devices.

[0037] In some embodiments, the support member 2 extends at both ends along the airflow direction and is provided with limiting protrusions 21. The limiting protrusions 21 abut against the upper surface of the limiting clearance hole 13 to prevent the support member 2 from falling into the limiting clearance hole 13. Specifically, the limiting clearance hole 13 is located on the bottom surface of the recess 11, and there are multiple limiting clearance holes 13, which are distributed at intervals along the left and right directions of the air guide body 1. The function of the limiting protrusions 21 is to support the support member 2 and prevent the support member 2 from falling into the limiting clearance hole 13. The limiting protrusions 21 can be a thin sheet structure that can support the support member 2.

[0038] In some embodiments, the first heating element 200 is a memory component, which includes a sheet-like structure. The bottom of the support component 2 is provided with a limiting groove 22, and both the sheet-like structure and the limiting groove 22 extend along the airflow direction. The limiting groove 22 is adapted to the sheet-like structure to limit its displacement in the left-right direction. Specifically, to meet assembly requirements, the width of the limiting groove 22 in the left-right direction should match the width of the sheet-like structure in the left-right direction. That is, when the support component 2 is installed, the sheet-like structure of the memory component just enters the limiting groove 22, leaving only an assembly gap between the limiting groove 22 and the sheet-like structure. This configuration, utilizing the sheet-like structure of the memory component—that is, the structural characteristics of the memory module—uses the limiting groove 22 on the support component 2 to limit the sheet-like structure of the memory component, preventing the memory component from wobbling in the left-right direction.

[0039] In some embodiments, there are multiple sheet-like structures and limiting grooves 22, and the number of sheet-like structures and limiting grooves 22 are the same and correspond one-to-one; the width of the limiting clearance hole 13 in the left-right direction is the same as the width of the first heating element 200 in the left-right direction. Specifically, a single sheet-like structure refers to a memory module; specifically, multiple limiting clearance holes 13 are opened in the recess 11 of the air guide body 1, that is, at the position corresponding to the memory component. The limiting clearance hole 13 can be a rectangular hole. The memory component is a raised memory component. The size and position of the limiting clearance hole 13 match the raised memory component. For example, if the memory component is a group of 8 memory modules, then the width of the limiting clearance hole 13 is the width of 8 memory modules. A crossbeam 15 is provided above the limiting clearance hole 13. A plastic elastic cantilever 17 is provided on the crossbeam 15. A snap-fit ​​part 16 is provided on the elastic cantilever 17 for cooperating with the slot 24 of the support component 2. The slot 24 can be a square hole to achieve tool-free snap-fit ​​fixation. The above-described configuration, through the standardized or modular design of the limiting and clearance holes 13, allows for the adaptation to different numbers, types, and heights of the first heating elements 200 by replacing support components 2 of different sizes or adjusting the hole layout of the air guide shroud body 1. This solution can cover diverse configuration requirements ranging from heating elements of ordinary height to those with increased height.

[0040] In some embodiments, the bottom of the support member 2 is provided with a first limiting block 23, which can be inserted into the limiting clearance hole 13. Except for the structure of the limiting protrusion 21, the main body of the support member 2 is located in the limiting clearance hole 13. The first limiting block 23 extends into the limiting clearance hole 13 and is engaged with the first heating element 200. The width of the first limiting block 23 in the left-right direction is the same as the width of the limiting clearance hole 13 in the left-right direction, so as to limit the displacement of the support member 2 in the left-right direction, thereby reducing the left-right sway of the support member 2.

[0041] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first limiting block 23 along the height direction is greater than the thickness of the limiting clearance hole 13 along the height direction; the limiting groove 22 is formed on the first limiting block 23, and the depth of the limiting groove 22 is equal to the difference between the thickness of the first limiting block 23 and the limiting clearance hole 13 along the height direction, that is, the difference between the thickness of the first limiting block 23 along the height direction and the thickness of the limiting clearance hole 13 along the height direction is equal to the depth of the limiting groove 22; the left and right directions, the airflow direction and the height direction are perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the thickness of the first limiting block 23 is greater than the thickness of the limiting clearance hole 13 to ensure that the first limiting block 23 can penetrate the limiting clearance hole 13, thereby achieving the matching and limiting with the first heating element 200. At the same time, the depth of the limiting groove 22 is equal to the difference in thickness between the first limiting block 23 and the limiting clearance hole 13. This setting ensures that the bottom of the recessed part 11 can abut against the first heating element 200 along the height direction, so that the limiting groove 22 can be completely locked on the first heating element 200, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire structure.

[0042] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 3 The air guide shroud body 1 has clips 14 at both ends along the left and right directions. The clips 14 can engage with the side wall of the chassis along the left and right directions and the airflow direction. Specifically, the side wall of the chassis has a groove, and the clips 14 are adapted to the groove. The air guide shroud body 1 is installed from top to bottom along the height direction, and then the chassis cover is installed. After the air guide shroud body 1 is installed on the chassis, it can engage with the chassis along the left and right directions and the airflow direction under the action of the clips 14. At the same time, under the action of the chassis cover, the air guide shroud body 1 is restricted from moving upward in the height direction. The first heating element 200 is located between the recess 11 of the air guide shroud body 1 and the motherboard 100. In the design, the recess 11 of the air guide shroud body 1 can be pressed against the first heating element 200. Since the position of the air guide shroud body 1 relative to the chassis is fixed, the air guide shroud body 1 can limit the height of the first heating element 200. Of course, if space permits, the height limitation of the first heating element 200 can also be achieved by the support component 2. That is, after the support component 2 is installed, it presses on the top of the first heating element 200. Since the position of the air guide shroud body 1 relative to the chassis is fixed, and the position of the support component 2 relative to the air guide shroud body 1 is fixed, the support component 2 can limit the height of the first heating element 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, the recesses 11 are spaced apart along the left and right directions of the air guide shroud body 1, and a receiving portion 110 with an opening facing the bottom of the air guide shroud body 1 is formed between adjacent recesses 11. That is, in the left and right direction, the recesses 11 and the receiving portions 110 are arranged alternately, with the openings of the recesses 11 facing upwards and the openings of the receiving portions 110 facing downwards. The recesses 11 correspond to the positions of the first heating element 200, and the receiving portions 110 correspond to the positions of the second heating element 300, thereby realizing heat dissipation for different heating elements.

[0044] In some embodiments, the air guide shroud body 1 has at least two buckles 14 at both ends along the left and right directions, and the buckles 14 located at the same end of the air guide shroud body 1 are arranged along the airflow direction of the air guide shroud body 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, the second heating element 300 is a central processing unit component. The recessed portion 11 and the first heating element 200, as well as the receiving portion 110 and the second heating element 300, abut against each other along the height direction of the air guide body 1. Specifically, the top of the first heating element 200 abuts against the bottom of the recessed portion 11 along the height direction, and the top of the second heating element 300 abuts against the inner side of the top of the receiving portion 110 along the height direction. This achieves the limitation of the first heating element 200 and the second heating element 300 in the height direction. Of course, there can also be space between the top of the second heating element 300 and the receiving portion 110 to ensure smooth airflow.

[0046] In some embodiments, the main body 1 of the air guide cover is also provided with a crossbeam 15, which is suspended on the limiting and avoidance hole 13; the crossbeam 15 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 16, and the support member 2 is provided with a slot 24. The support member 2 can slide along the airflow direction of the limiting and avoidance hole 13 until the snap-fit ​​part 16 enters the slot 24; and after the support member 2 is installed in place, the crossbeam 15 is in contact with the upper surface of the support member 2. Specifically, the installation of the support component 2 means that after the slot 24 of the support component 2 and the engaging part 16 are engaged, the upper surface of the support component 2 is in contact with the bottom of the crossbeam 15. The crossbeam 15 can prevent the support component 2 from moving upward. At the same time, under the action of the limiting protrusion 21, the support component 2 can abut against the upper surface of the limiting clearance hole 13, preventing the support component 2 from moving downward, thereby limiting the position of the support component 2 in the height direction. The above setting, by suspending the crossbeam 15 on the limiting clearance hole 13, is equivalent to setting a fixed and stable rigid mechanical support directly above the first heating element 200. The point provides a basis for the assembly and locking of the support component 2, reducing the risk of shaking of the support component 2, thereby reducing the risk of shaking of the first heating element 200; and the bottom of the support component 2 is matched and limited with the first heating element 200 in the left and right direction, while slidingly connected in the airflow direction. When the slot 24 of the support component 2 is engaged with the locking part 16 on the crossbeam 15, the sliding limiting mechanism completes the full degree of freedom fixation of the support component 2 in the height direction and airflow direction, thereby forming a rigid frame for the first heating element 200, thereby preventing the top of the first heating element 200 from shaking under working vibration or transportation impact.

[0047] In some embodiments, the crossbeam 15 is also provided with an elastic cantilever 17, which extends toward the front side of the crossbeam 15 along the airflow direction, and a locking part 16 is provided at the lower part of the elastic cantilever 17; when the support member 2 is pushed from front to back, the locking part 16 causes the elastic cantilever 17 to bend, and after the locking part 16 engages with the slot 24, the elastic cantilever 17 returns to its original position. The above configuration, utilizing the elastic deformation capability of the elastic cantilever 17, allows the elastic cantilever 17 to be deformed by external force before the support component 2 is installed in place. This causes the locking part 16 on the elastic cantilever 17 to avoid the support component 2. Once the support component 2 is in place, the elastic cantilever 17 returns to its original position, and the locking part 16 on the elastic cantilever 17 can be locked into the slot 24 on the support component 2, completing the assembly of the support component 2. This method is convenient and efficient. The deformation of the elastic cantilever 17 can be achieved by manually moving the elastic cantilever 17 directly, manually moving the elastic cantilever 17 with the aid of a tool, or by setting a guide slope 18 on the locking part 16. Any method that enables the deformation of the elastic cantilever 17 is acceptable.

[0048] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 7The bottom front side of the snap-fit ​​part 16 is provided with a guide slope 18. When the guide slope 18 is in contact with the edge of the support member 2, it can push the elastic cantilever 17 to undergo elastic deformation. With the above configuration, when the support member 2 is pushed from front to back, the airflow direction is parallel to the front-back direction, and the airflow flows from back to front. The support member 2 is pushed from front to back. The snap-fit ​​part 16 will cause the elastic cantilever 17 to bend. The greater the bending amplitude of the elastic cantilever 17, the greater the elastic resistance. When the support member 2 moves into place, the snap-fit ​​part 16 corresponds to the position of the slot 24. The bent elastic cantilever 17 returns to its original position and releases the stress. Accompanied by a clear "click" sound, it indicates that the installation is complete. The operation is convenient and tool-free installation is achieved.

[0049] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The crossbeam 15 is also equipped with an unlocking component 19, which is located on the upper part of the elastic cantilever 17. The unlocking component 19 can drive the elastic cantilever 17 to deform until the locking part 16 moves out of the slot 24. With the addition of the unlocking component 19, the elastic cantilever 17 can be lifted and disengaged from the locked position by simply pushing the unlocking component 19 backward when disassembling the support component 2. At this time, the locking part 16 disengages from the slot 24, and the support component 2 can be slid out in the opposite direction. The whole process does not require any external tools, which meets the requirements of data centers for rapid maintenance and reduced repair time. Specifically, the unlocking component 19 has an L-shaped structure and extends upward and forward, making it convenient for users to push the unlocking component 19.

[0050] In some embodiments, a gap is provided between the crossbeam 15 and the limiting clearance hole 13 to allow the support component 2 to pass through the bottom of the crossbeam 15; the upper surface of the support component 2 is also provided with a gripping part 25 to push the support component 2 to move in the airflow direction. Specifically, by setting a gap between the crossbeam 15 and the limiting clearance hole 13, a through space is provided for the installation of the support component 2; the operator can pick up the support component 2 through the gripping part 25, align it with the gap between the bottom of the crossbeam 15 and the limiting clearance hole 13, and push the limiting protrusion 21 at the rear end of the support component 2 to the upper surface of the rear end of the limiting clearance hole 13 without additional adjustment or calibration, which significantly shortens the installation time of the support component 2, and is especially suitable for scenarios where the support component 2 needs to be frequently disassembled and assembled.

[0051] In some embodiments, the gripping part 25 is plate-shaped and extends in the left-right direction. The gripping part 25 and the first limiting block 23 are located on the same side of the supporting member 2. Specifically, the gripping part 25 and the first limiting block 23 are both located on the front side of the supporting member 2, and the slot 24 is spaced apart from the first limiting block 23. When the supporting member 2 moves into place, the engaging part 16 engages with the slot 24, and the gripping part 25 abuts against the crossbeam 15 in the airflow direction to prevent the supporting member 2 from moving further backward. That is, at the same time that the gripping part 25 abuts against the crossbeam 15, the engaging part 16 engages with the slot 24, ensuring that the supporting member 2 is limited in the airflow direction. Furthermore, in order to facilitate the picking up of the supporting member 2 and at the same time ensure the positional stability of the supporting member 2, the number of gripping parts 25 is at least two, and each gripping part 25 is arranged at intervals in the left-right direction and is located on the same straight line, ensuring that each gripping part 25 can abut against the crossbeam 15 at the same time, making the positioning more accurate.

[0052] In some embodiments, the air guide cover body 1 and the support component 2 are both integral injection molded structures, which are easy to process, have good elasticity, and are convenient to assemble.

[0053] In some implementation methods, please refer to Figure 11 It also includes a stop block 3, which has a slot 24 that can engage with the locking part 16; the stop block 3 has a limiting protrusion 21 extending at both ends along the airflow direction, and the limiting protrusion 21 abuts against the upper surface of the limiting clearance hole 13 to prevent the stop block 3 from falling into the limiting clearance hole 13; the stop block 3 and the support member 2 are selectively installed on the limiting clearance hole 13. The above-mentioned setup, by adding the stop block 3, achieves the sealing effect of the limiting clearance hole 13. Except for the structure of the limiting block, the stop block 3 and the support component 2 are basically the same. The stop block 3 and the support component 2 share the limiting clearance hole 13 and the snap-fit ​​mechanism, namely the cooperation structure of the slot 24 and the snap-fit ​​part 16, achieving both support for the support component 2 and sealing of the gaps in the stop block 3. In actual use, when the air guide body 1 has multiple limiting clearance holes 13, the support component 2 and the stop block 3 can be installed on which limiting clearance hole 13 according to the actual position of the first heating element 200. This design allows the same motherboard 100 to be compatible with both heightened memory configurations requiring physical reinforcement and ordinary memory configurations requiring only basic heat dissipation and sealing. Similarly, the stop block 3 is also a one-piece injection molded structure, which is easy to process, has good elasticity, and is convenient to assemble.

[0054] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the stop block 3 is provided with a gripping part 25 for easy handling, and the lower surface is provided with a second limiting block 31. The width of the second limiting block 31 in the left-right direction is the same as the width of the limiting clearance hole 13 in the left-right direction, so as to limit the displacement of the stop block 3 in the left-right direction and ensure the stability of the stop block 3 in the left-right direction. The thickness of the second limiting block 31 in the height direction is less than or equal to the thickness of the limiting clearance hole 13 in the height direction. The left-right direction, the airflow direction, and the height direction are perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the thickness of the second limiting block 31 is less than or equal to the thickness of the limiting clearance hole 13 to ensure that the second limiting block 31 can be located inside the limiting clearance hole 13 and will not protrude from the bottom of the limiting clearance hole 13. On the one hand, it can reduce interference with other components, and on the other hand, it can reduce the obstruction of airflow and ensure smooth airflow.

[0055] Specifically, in one embodiment, the structural scheme of the present invention includes an air guide cover body 1 and a support component 2. The support component 2 can be a support block, and the first heating element 200 can be a heightened memory component. The air guide cover body 1 and the support component 2 cooperate with each other to achieve tool-free quick installation and disassembly. The air guide cover body 1 has four rectangular limiting and clearance holes 13, which are matched with the positions of the heightened memory components. A crossbeam 15 is provided above the limiting and clearance holes 13, and a plastic elastic cantilever 17 is provided on the crossbeam 15 for cooperating with the positioning slot 24 of the support component 2 to achieve tool-free locking and fixing. The support component 2 can be a cuboid structure adapted to the limiting and clearance holes 13, and can slide back and forth within the limiting and clearance holes 13, which not only restricts the lateral displacement of the support component 2, but also enables the locking and unlocking of the support component 2. The support component 2 has two limiting protrusions 21 at each end along the airflow direction, i.e., at the front and rear ends. These protrusions 21 can be thin sheet structures, used to prevent the support component 2 from falling downwards into the limiting clearance hole 13. Simultaneously, the crossbeam 15 of the air guide shroud prevents the support component 2 from moving upwards. The top of the support component 2 has two gripping parts 25, forming a handle structure for pushing the support component 2 forward and backward. The middle of the support component 2 has a square locking groove 24 that mates with the locking part 16. The locking part 16 can be a square hook, enabling tool-free insertion and fixation. The bottom of the support component 2 has multiple limiting grooves 22 that match the top of the raised memory component. The groove walls of the limiting grooves 22 fit against the top side of the raised memory component, forming lateral limiting. After the support component 2 is locked in place, it completely covers the limiting clearance hole 13, preventing airflow loss. When using this air guide cover, if the memory support component 2 is not required, a block 3 should be used to block the limiting and clearance hole 13 to prevent airflow loss and affect the memory's heat dissipation performance. The structure of the block 3 is similar to that of the memory support component 2, but the height of the limiting block is reduced.

[0056] Specifically, the installation process of the air guide cover component provided by the present invention includes: 1. Pre-installation of the air guide cover body 1: Install the air guide cover body 1 into the chassis of the electronic device in a conventional manner. At this time, the limiting clearance hole 13 of the air guide cover body 1 is aligned with the top position of the raised memory component; 2. Tool-free installation of the support component 2: Align the support component 2 with the limiting clearance hole 13 of the air guide cover body 1, insert the support component 2 downward, and mate the limiting groove 22 at the bottom of the support component 2 with the top of the raised memory component. After mating, push the support component 2 backward until the snap-fit ​​part 16 on the air guide cover body 1 falls into the square snap-fit ​​groove 24 in the middle of the support component 2, thus completing the tool-free fixing of the support component 2; 3. Disassembly and maintenance: Move the unlocking component 19 of the air guide cover body 1 so that the snap hook of the snap-fit ​​part 16 disengages from the snap-fit ​​groove 24 of the support component 2, and then slide the support component 2 forward. After sliding to the end, lift the support component 2 upward.

[0057] The air guide shroud component provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Improves the stability of memory components without occupying additional space: The rigid structure of the air guide shroud body 1 achieves left and right limit on the heightened memory, reducing the risk of system downtime due to poor memory contact. Integrating the air guiding function and support function of the air guide shroud improves the utilization rate of chassis space; 2. Efficient tool-free assembly and disassembly: The support component 2 cooperates with the elastic snap-fit ​​part 16 of the air guide shroud body 1 through the square slot 24, allowing for tool-free installation and disassembly, adapting to rapid server maintenance scenarios; 3. Strong compatibility: Adapts to the air guide shroud structure of mainstream servers, and can match different numbers of heightened memory components by adjusting the size of the limit clearance hole 13 and the support component 2.

[0058] The aforementioned air guide shroud component is applied to a chassis, which also includes a chassis body, and the air guide shroud component is mounted on the chassis body. The air guide shroud component includes: an air guide shroud body 1, which has several recesses 11, and the windward surface of each recess 11 has a guiding surface 12 to guide airflow towards the first heating element 200 located below the recesses 11; and a limiting clearance hole 13 is provided on the air guide shroud body 1 at a position corresponding to the first heating element 200; and a support component 2, which is detachably mounted on the limiting clearance hole 13, and the bottom of the support component 2 is matched and limited in the left-right direction with the first heating element 200, the left-right direction being perpendicular to the airflow direction.

[0059] In some embodiments, the system also includes a motherboard 100 and a heating element. The heating element is mounted on the motherboard 100, which is mounted inside the chassis. The air guide shroud is located above the motherboard 100, and the air guide shroud abuts against the heating element along the height direction. Specifically, the height-direction limitation of the heating element is achieved by the motherboard 100 and the air guide shroud body 1. The left-right direction limitation of the heating element is achieved by the support component 2.

[0060] Furthermore, the air guide body 1 has clips 14 at both ends along the left and right directions, which can engage with the side wall of the chassis along the left and right directions and the airflow direction; the side wall of the chassis body has a groove, and the clips 14 are adapted to the groove. The air guide body 1 is installed from top to bottom along the height direction, and then the chassis top cover is installed; after the air guide body 1 is installed on the chassis, the air guide body 1 can engage with the chassis along the left and right directions and the airflow direction under the action of the clips 14. At the same time, under the action of the chassis top cover, the air guide body 1 is restricted from moving upward in the height direction; the heating element is located in the recessed part 11 of the air guide body 1 and the main board 10. Between 0 and 0, during the design, the recessed part 11 of the air guide body 1 can be pressed against the top of the heating element. Since the position of the air guide body 1 relative to the chassis is fixed, the air guide body 1 can limit the heating element in the height direction. Of course, if space permits, the height limit of the heating element can also be achieved by the support component 2. That is, after the support component 2 is installed, it is pressed against the top of the heating element. Since the position of the air guide body 1 relative to the chassis is fixed, and the position of the support component 2 relative to the air guide body 1 is fixed, the support component 2 can limit the heating element in the height direction. Furthermore, each recess 11 is spaced apart along the left and right direction of the air guide shroud body 1, and a receiving portion 110 with an opening facing the bottom of the air guide shroud body 1 is formed between adjacent recesses 11. That is, in the left and right direction, the recesses 11 and the receiving portions 110 are arranged alternately, with the openings of the recesses 11 facing upwards and the openings of the receiving portions 110 facing downwards. A first heating element 200 and a second heating element 300 are mounted on the main board 100. The positions of the recesses 11 and the first heating element 200 correspond, and the positions of the receiving portions 110 and the second heating element 300 correspond, thereby realizing heat dissipation for different heating elements.

[0061] In some embodiments, the air guide shroud body 1 has at least two buckles 14 at both ends along the left and right directions, and the buckles 14 at the same end of the air guide shroud body 1 are arranged along the airflow direction of the air guide shroud body 1; similarly, the chassis body has at least two grooves on the same side wall, and the grooves on the same side wall are arranged along the airflow direction; the grooves extend along the height direction and are open at the top, and the buckles 14 of the air guide shroud body 1 correspond one-to-one with the grooves of the chassis body.

[0062] In some embodiments, the first heating element 200 is a heightened memory component, and the second heating element 300 is a central processing unit component. The recessed portion 11 and the first heating element 200, as well as the receiving portion 110 and the second heating element 300, abut against each other along the height direction of the air guide body 1. Specifically, the top of the first heating element 200 abuts against the bottom of the recessed portion 11 along the height direction, and the top of the second heating element 300 abuts against the inner side of the top of the receiving portion 110 along the height direction. This achieves the limitation of the first heating element 200 and the second heating element 300 in the height direction. Of course, there can also be space between the top of the second heating element 300 and the receiving portion 110 to ensure smooth airflow.
