[0037] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.
[0038] The core of this application is to provide a server, a method, system, device, and medium for eliminating static electricity, which can conveniently and flexibly eliminate static electricity from components, thereby improving the production quality of the server and the efficiency of subsequent operation and maintenance services.
[0039] In server R&D and manufacturing, components such as CPUs, memory, hard drives, and power supplies are housed on PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) circuit boards. PCBAs integrate thousands of surface-mount (SMT) chips, capacitors, resistors, inductors, and other components, most of which are sensitive to static electricity (STO), easily leading to component failure. The harmful effects of STO in electronic products during manufacturing are well-documented. To minimize the impact of STO, ionizers are typically used in production workshops to eliminate static electricity from components. However, in locations without ionizers, STO cannot be eliminated. Therefore, this application provides an STO eliminator installed inside a server. Components requiring STO are placed in the STO eliminator, which then performs STO elimination. Because the STO eliminator is installed inside the server, it allows for more flexible and convenient STO elimination of components. It should be noted that the STO eliminator provided in this application is not only suitable for eliminating static electricity from components in servers; in practice, any component requiring STO can be treated using this STO eliminator.
[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a server provided in an embodiment of this application is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the server includes: an electrostatic eliminator 2;
[0041] The static electricity elimination device 2 is located in the server chassis 1;
[0042] A gap is reserved in the static eliminator 2;
[0043] The component 3 to be statically eliminated in the server is located in the gap and is in contact with the surface of the static elimination device 2, so that the static electricity of the component 3 to be statically eliminated can be eliminated by the static elimination device 2.
[0044] An electrostatic eliminator is a device used to eliminate static electricity from components. To facilitate flexible and convenient static elimination of components, this application reserves a certain space within the server chassis for housing the electrostatic eliminator. The specific location of the electrostatic eliminator within the server is not limited and is determined based on actual conditions. Since the electrostatic eliminator provided in this application is not limited to eliminating static electricity from components within a server, when it is necessary to use the electrostatic eliminator to eliminate static electricity from a target device, a certain space must be reserved within the target device to house the electrostatic eliminator.
[0045] The static eliminator used in this application includes at least conductive foam and metal strips, with conductive foam adhered to the metal strips. The quantity of conductive foam and metal strips is not limited and is determined based on actual conditions. When using the static eliminator to eliminate static electricity, the component to be eliminated is placed in the pre-reserved gap in the static eliminator. The surface of the static eliminator needs to be in contact with the component. After a preset time, the static eliminator can eliminate static electricity from the component.
[0046] This embodiment provides a server comprising: an electrostatic eliminator; the electrostatic eliminator is located within the server chassis; a gap is provided in the electrostatic eliminator; a component in the server to be electrostatically eliminated is located within the gap and in contact with the surface of the electrostatic eliminator, so that static electricity can be eliminated from the component to be electrostatically eliminated by the electrostatic eliminator. Compared to previous methods that could only eliminate static electricity from components to be electrostatically eliminated in the presence of ionizers, this embodiment sets the electrostatic eliminator within the server chassis, enabling the elimination of static electricity from components to be electrostatically eliminated even in the absence of ionizers. Therefore, it is more convenient and flexible, improving the overall production quality of the server and the efficiency of subsequent operation and maintenance services.
[0047] In order for the static eliminator to specifically eliminate static electricity from the component to be eliminated, a preferred embodiment is that the gap in the static eliminator is determined at least according to the shape and size of the component to be eliminated.
[0048] Since the components to be statically eliminated are placed in the static eliminator, the components need to be in contact with the static eliminator. When using the static eliminator to eliminate static electricity, the gap of the static eliminator needs to match the shape and size of the component. For example, if the component to be eliminated is a memory module, the gap of the static eliminator needs to be determined according to the shape and size of the memory module to ensure that when the memory module is placed in the gap of the static eliminator, the gold fingers of the memory module can be attached to the static eliminator and move, so that the static electricity can be effectively released. Since there may be various different components to be eliminated in a server, multiple static eliminators can be set up in the server accordingly. The gap of each static eliminator is determined according to the shape and size of the component to be eliminated. The number of static eliminators is determined at least according to the type, shape, and size of the component to be eliminated. Using multiple static eliminators allows for the elimination of static electricity from different types of components.
[0049] The gap of the static eliminator provided in this embodiment is determined at least according to the shape, size, etc. of the component to be eliminated, so that the static eliminator can specifically eliminate static electricity from the component to be eliminated.
[0050] This application uses an electrostatic elimination device composed of conductive foam and metal strips. In a preferred embodiment, the electrostatic elimination device includes metal strips and conductive foam; there are at least two metal strips and at least two conductive foams, with one metal strip and one conductive foam corresponding to each other.
[0051] Each metal strip is wrapped with corresponding conductive foam.
[0052] The gap between each conductive foam is less than or equal to the thickness of the component to be statically eliminated.
[0053] Figure 2(a) is a front view of a static eliminator structure provided in an embodiment of this application, and Figure 2(b) is a top view of a static eliminator structure provided in an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2(a), conductive foam 5 is pasted on the outside of the metal strip 4. In order to place the component 3 to be statically eliminated in the gap of the static eliminator, that is, in the gap formed by each conductive foam 5, the gap between each conductive foam 5 needs to be less than or equal to the thickness of the component 3 to be statically eliminated.
[0054] The static eliminator provided in this embodiment has at least two conductive foams and two metal strips. When the static eliminator is composed of one pair of conductive foams and one pair of metal strips, the area occupied by the static eliminator in the server chassis can be reduced. When the static eliminator is composed of more than two conductive foams and more than two metal strips, the placement of the component to be static-eliminated in the gap of the static eliminator is more flexible, and the static elimination of the component to be static-eliminated is more flexible.
[0055] During the manufacturing process, memory module PCBAs are more easily exposed to static electricity in the production environment compared to other components. Therefore, it is necessary to eliminate static electricity from the memory modules. In the preferred embodiment of eliminating static electricity from the memory modules, the component to be eliminated is the memory module; two conductive foams are used.
[0056] There is a gap between the two conductive foams; wherein the gap is less than or equal to the thickness of the memory module to facilitate the movement of the conductive foam to attach the gold fingers of the memory module.
[0057] A pair of metal strips are added to the server chassis, and the selected conductive foam is effectively adhered to them, leaving a gap slightly smaller than the thickness of the memory PCBA board. This gap allows for the attachment and movement of the memory module's gold fingers, ensuring good contact between the conductive foam and the memory board, and guaranteeing effective static discharge. When eliminating static electricity from the memory module using the static elimination device provided in this embodiment, the memory module is inserted into the gap of the conductive foam before installation, maintaining contact for more than 5 seconds to release static electricity and ensure electrostatic safety.
[0058] The method for eliminating static electricity in memory modules provided in this embodiment can minimize the impact of static electricity on memory modules in the production environment and improve the production quality of servers.
[0059] Based on the above embodiments, this embodiment also provides a method for eliminating static electricity, applied to a server containing a static electricity elimination device, the static electricity elimination device being located in the server chassis; the static electricity elimination device having a pre-reserved gap; the method for eliminating static electricity includes:
[0060] Identify the components whose static electricity needs to be eliminated;
[0061] When the component to be statically eliminated is located in a gap and in contact with the surface of the static elimination device, the static electricity of the component to be statically eliminated is eliminated by the static elimination device.
[0062] The static electricity elimination method provided in this embodiment has corresponding technical features to the server mentioned above. The server containing the static electricity elimination device has been described in detail above, so the embodiment of the static electricity elimination method will not be repeated here.
[0063] The static electricity elimination method provided in this embodiment involves identifying the component to be statically eliminated; when the component is located in a gap and in contact with the surface of the static electricity elimination device, the static electricity is eliminated from the component by the static electricity elimination device. Compared to previous methods that could only eliminate static electricity from components in the presence of ionizers, this embodiment installs the static electricity elimination device in the server chassis, enabling static electricity elimination from components in the absence of ionizers. Therefore, it is more convenient and flexible, improving the overall production quality of the server and the efficiency of subsequent maintenance services.
[0064] When a component to be statically eliminated is placed in a static eliminator for static elimination, if the component is placed in the static eliminator for a long time, static electricity may be eliminated from the component, but the component may still be placed in the static eliminator. Therefore, in practice, a preferred embodiment is that the static elimination of the component to be statically eliminated by the static eliminator includes:
[0065] The static electricity of the component to be eliminated is eliminated within a preset time after it is located in the gap and comes into contact with the surface of the static electricity elimination device.
[0066] The process begins with placing the component to be de-staticated in the electrostatic eliminator. The device keeps a timer on the component, and if the time exceeds a preset limit, the component can be removed. The preset time is not fixed and is determined based on actual conditions, but it must be reasonable. A short time may result in incomplete de-statication, while a long time may leave the component still in the device after de-statication, affecting its usability and reducing server productivity. For example, when de-staticating memory modules using the device, placing the memory module in the device for 5 seconds is sufficient before removing it. In practice, after removing the component after the preset time, a static electricity test can be performed. If static electricity persists, the process can return to the initial de-statication steps to continue de-staticating the component.
[0067] This embodiment improves server productivity by setting a preset time limit.
[0068] In the above embodiments, the method for eliminating static electricity has been described in detail. This application also provides embodiments of a system for eliminating static electricity and a device for eliminating static electricity. It should be noted that this application describes the embodiments of the device part from two perspectives: one is based on the functional module, and the other is based on the hardware.
