[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected" and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0035] The following Figures 1 to 6 describes the protective member of the embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the protective member 100 provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes: side plates 1 and a connecting plate 2; the two side plates 1 are arranged oppositely, and the two ends of the connecting plate 2 are respectively connected to the same side of the two side plates 1, and the side plates 1 and the connecting plate 2 enclose a receiving area; the protective member 100 is used to be placed on the main board 400, and the receiving area is used to accommodate the processor and the radiator 300 on the main board 400; wherein, the internal dimension of the receiving area is larger than the outer dimension of the radiator 300, so that there is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the protective member 100 and the outer peripheral surface of the radiator 300; the outer dimension of the protective member 100 is smaller than the dimension of the surrounding space of the radiator 300, and the surrounding space is the space enclosed by a plurality of detachable components around the radiator 300 on the main board 400, so that there is a second gap between the outer wall surface of the protective member 100 and the detachable component adjacent to the radiator 300.

[0037] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, the server includes a motherboard 400, a memory module 200 installed on the motherboard 400, a processor, and a radiator 300 for cooling the processor, etc. The radiator 300 is installed above the processor, and the circumferential dimension of the radiator 300 is usually larger than that of the processor. There are usually multiple detachable components arranged around the processor and the radiator 300 on the motherboard 400. In the present invention, the memory module 200 is mainly taken as an example to illustrate the detachable components. The motherboard 400 is provided with multiple plug connectors arranged side by side. The plug connectors have slots, and the memory module 200 can be plugged into the slots. To make reasonable use of the internal space of the server, the memory module 200 is usually also arranged near the processor. The distance between the radiator 300 located above the processor and the memory module 200 is very small, and the distance between the two is about 5 mm. The processor is usually clamped on the radiator 300 through a plastic part. For the disassembly and assembly process of the processor and the radiator 300, for the convenience of description, the processor and the radiator 300 are regarded as a whole in the text, and mainly the radiator 300 is described.

[0038] During the production test or use process on the production line, when the memory module 200, the processor, and the radiator 300 need to be installed or disassembled, due to the certain weight of the radiator 300, even a slight shaking movement during the process of the operator taking the radiator 300 will cause the radiator 300 to collide with the adjacent memory module 200, resulting in the risk of damage to the memory module 200 or the radiator 300.

[0039] In the present invention, the protective part 100 includes two side plates 1 and a connecting plate 2. The two side plates 1 and a connecting plate 2 enclose a protective part 100 with one side being open. The connecting plate 2 has opposite ends. The two side plates 1 are arranged oppositely at intervals. One end of the connecting plate 2 is connected to one side plate 1, and the other end of the connecting plate 2 is connected to the other side plate 1. The inner wall surfaces of the side plates 1 and the inner wall surface of the connecting plate 2 enclose a receiving area, and the receiving area is adapted to the size of the radiator 300 and can accommodate the radiator 300. Since the receiving area can accommodate the radiator 300, it can be understood that the receiving area can also accommodate the processor.

[0040] There is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the side plate 1 and the circumferential surface of the radiator 300, and there is also a first gap between the inner wall surface of the connecting plate 2 and the circumferential surface of the radiator 300. The first gap is set according to actual needs. For example, the first gap is greater than 1 mm. There is a second gap between the outer wall surface of the side plate 1 and the adjacent memory module 200. The second gap is set according to actual needs. For example, the second gap is greater than 1 mm. As Figure 3 shown, the protective part 100 is composed of two side plates 1 and a connecting plate 2, and has a stable structure and can be stably placed on the motherboard 400.

[0041] As Figure 4 、Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the use of the protective member 100 will be described below. When it is necessary to replace the processor or the radiator 300, first place the protective member 100 at an appropriate position on the main board 400. At this time, the radiator 300 is located within the accommodating area of the protective member 100. The protective member 100 separates the radiator 300 from the adjacent memory module 200. Then, the operator can conveniently take out the radiator 300 from the accommodating area. During the taking-out process, it can effectively prevent the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200. When installing the radiator 300, align the radiator 300 with the accommodating area and make fine adjustments during the placement process. The radiator 300 can only contact the inner wall surface of the protective member 100, which can also effectively prevent the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200. After completing the replacement operation of the processor or the radiator 300, the protective member 100 can be removed.

[0042] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown in Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , when it is necessary to replace the memory module 200 installed near the radiator 300, the weight of the memory module 200 is relatively light, and the operator can directly perform the plugging or unplugging operation on the memory module 200. It is also possible to place the protective member 100 at an appropriate position on the main board 400. The protective member 100 separates the radiator 300 from the adjacent memory module 200, and then take out the damaged memory module 200 from the slot and plug the intact memory module 200 into the slot, effectively preventing the memory module 200 from colliding with the radiator 300.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, two side plates 1 are arranged opposite to each other. The two opposite ends of the connecting plate 2 are respectively connected to the same side of the two side plates 1. The inner wall surfaces of the side plates 1 and the inner wall surface of the connecting plate 2 enclose an accommodating area, and the accommodating area can accommodate the radiator 300. During the installation or disassembly process, the protective member 100 can separate the radiator 300 from the adjacent memory module 200, effectively preventing the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200.

[0044] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 , in an alternative embodiment, the side plate 1 includes a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12; one end of the first plate body 11 is used to support on the main board 400, and the second plate body 12 is connected to the other end of the first plate body 11 and extends obliquely towards the side away from the inner wall surface of the first plate body 11, and the two second plate bodies 12 form a guiding portion.

[0045] Specifically, the side plate 1 is composed of two sections. The side plate 1 includes a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12. The first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 can be integrally formed by a mold, or the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 can also be connected by an adhesive bonding method.

[0046] One end of the first plate body 11 is used to contact the main board 400, and the other end of the first plate body 11 extends obliquely toward the side of the inner wall surface away from the first plate body 11 to form the second plate body 12, and a certain angle is formed between the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12. The spacing between the two first plate bodies 11 is equal, and a receiving area with a constant cross-section is formed between the two first plate bodies 11. The two second plate bodies 12 form an outwardly expanding trumpet shape, and a receiving area with a gradually increasing cross-sectional area is formed between the two second plate bodies 12 from the side close to the first plate body 11 to the side away from the first plate body 11, that is, a guide groove is formed between the inner wall surfaces of the two second plate bodies 12, and the two second plate bodies 12 constitute a guide portion.

[0047] The protective member 100 is placed on the mainboard 400, and the first plate body 11 and the mainboard 400 are arranged vertically. The two first plate bodies 11 and the connecting plate 2 ensure that the protective member 100 can be stably placed on the mainboard 400, and an outward-expanding guide groove is formed between the two second plate bodies 12. During the installation of the radiator 300, the radiator 300 is placed downward in the vertical direction under the guidance of the guide groove, and the guide groove plays a role in preliminary positioning of the radiator 300. As the radiator 300 continues to move, the two first plate bodies 11 play a role in precise positioning of the radiator 300, and the two opposite surfaces of the radiator 300 correspond one by one to the inner wall surfaces of the two first plate bodies 11, respectively, which is conducive to aligning the fixing screws of the radiator 300 with the positioning holes on the mainboard 400, thereby realizing the installation of the processor and the radiator 300.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the installation and disassembly process, the protective member 100 can effectively prevent the heat sink 300 from colliding with the memory stick 200. At the same time, during the installation process, the guide portion formed by the two second plates 12 plays a preliminary positioning role for the heat sink 300, which is beneficial to the smooth installation of the heat sink 300 and the processor.

[0049] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the angle between the outer wall surface of the first plate body 11 and the outer wall surface of the second plate body 12 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

[0050] Specifically, a certain angle is formed between the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12. With reference to the outer wall surfaces of the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12, the angle between the outer wall surfaces of the first plate body 11 and the second plate body 12 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The specific value of the included angle is set according to actual needs. If the included angle is too small, the expansion angle formed by the two second plate bodies 12 is relatively large, and the guiding function of the guiding groove cannot be effectively exerted. If the included angle is too large, the two second plate bodies 12 are close to being parallel, and the guiding function of the guiding groove cannot be effectively exerted either. Whether the included angle is too small or too large, the guiding function of the guiding groove is limited, and a suitable angle can be selected within the range of 90 to 180 degrees.

[0051] As Figure 4 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the detachable component includes a memory module 200, and the height of the first plate body 11 is greater than or equal to twice the height of the memory module 200.

[0052] Specifically, the height of the first plate body 11 is greater than or equal to twice the height of the memory module 200. When the memory module 200 needs to be replaced, first place the protective member 100 at a suitable position on the main board 400, and the protective member 100 separates the radiator 300 and the memory module 200.

[0053] The following describes the insertion and removal operations of the memory module 200 adjacent to the protective member 100. Pull out the memory module 200 vertically upward from the slot. Since the height of the first plate body 11 is greater than or equal to twice the height of the memory module 200, during the process of pulling out the memory module 200, the second plate body 12 can be effectively prevented from blocking the removal of the memory module 200. During the process of inserting the memory module 200, first align the memory module 200 with the slot below the second plate body 12, and then insert the memory module 200 vertically into the slot.

[0054] When performing insertion and removal operations on the memory module 200, the protective member 100 can play an effective protective role. Even if the memory module 200 tilts during the insertion and removal operations, it will collide with the protective member 100. The protective member 100 is made of a flexible material, which can disperse the impact force and the stress area, and thus can effectively protect the memory module 200 located outside the protective member 100 and the radiator 300 located inside the protective member 100.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the height of the first plate body 11 is greater than or equal to twice the height of the memory module 200, enabling convenient insertion and removal operations on the memory module 200 near the radiator 300.

[0056] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in an alternative embodiment, a first notch is formed on one side of the side plate 1 close to the connecting plate 2.

[0057] Specifically, the side plate 1 has opposite ends, which are defined as the first end and the second end of the side plate 1 respectively. The first end of the side plate 1 abuts against the main board 400. A first notch is formed extending from the second end of the side plate 1 towards the first end of the side plate 1, and the first notch is located on the side of the side plate 1 close to the connecting plate 2.

[0058] The width and length of the first notch are set according to actual requirements. During the installation process, the protective member 100 is placed on the main board 400. The operator takes the radiator 300 and places the radiator 300 vertically downward at the first notch. The first notch is conducive to the operator making fine and flexible adjustment operations here to install the radiator 300 on the main board 400.

[0059] During the disassembly process, the operator can pinch two opposite surfaces of the radiator 300 at the first notch to conveniently remove the radiator 300. The first notch provides a suitable operating space for the operator, which is conducive to the convenience of the operator's operation.

[0060] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the first notch extends from the free end of the second plate body 12 towards the first plate body 11.

[0061] Specifically, the side plate 1 includes a first plate body 11 and a second plate body 12, and the first notch extends from the second plate body 12 to the first plate body 11. The intersection of the long side and the short side of the second plate body 12 is in a rounded corner transition. The intersection of the horizontal section and the vertical section of the first notch on the first plate body 11 is also in a rounded corner transition.

[0062] When the first notch extends from the second plate body 12 to the first plate body 11, during the process of installing or disassembling the radiator 300, it can provide sufficient operating space for the operator, which is conducive to the convenience of operation.

[0063] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in an alternative embodiment, the connecting plate 2 includes a third plate body 21 and a fourth plate body 22. One end of the third plate body 21 is used to support on the main board 400, and the fourth plate body 22 is connected to the other end of the third plate body 21 and extends obliquely towards the side away from the inner wall surface of the third plate body 21.

[0064] Specifically, the connecting plate 2 also consists of two sections. The connecting plate 2 includes a third plate body 21 and a fourth plate body 22. The third plate body 21 and the fourth plate body 22 can be integrally formed by a mold, and the third plate body 21 and the fourth plate body 22 can also be connected by an adhesive method.

[0065] The third plate body 21 has two opposite ends, one end of the third plate body 21 is used to contact the main board 400, and the other end of the third plate body 21 extends obliquely toward the side of the inner wall surface away from the third plate body 21 to form a fourth plate body 22. A certain angle is formed between the third plate body 21 and the fourth plate body 22, and the fourth plate body 22 also has a certain guiding function.

[0066] The protective member 100 is placed on the mainboard 400, and the first plate 11 and the third plate 21 are both arranged vertically with the mainboard 400. The two first plates 11 and the third plate 21 connecting the two first plates 11 ensure that the protective member 100 can be stably placed on the mainboard 400. The two second plates 12 and the fourth plate 22 enclose and form an outwardly expanding guide groove. During the installation of the radiator 300, the radiator 300 is placed downward in the vertical direction under the guidance of the guide groove, and the guide groove plays a role in preliminary positioning of the radiator 300. During the continued movement of the radiator 300, the inner wall surfaces of the two first plates 11 and the inner wall surface of the third plate 21 are close to the three surfaces of the radiator 300 in the circumferential direction, and the two first plates 11 and the third plate 21 play a role in further accurately positioning the radiator 300, so that the fixing screws of the radiator 300 can be accurately aligned with the positioning holes on the mainboard 400, so as to achieve accurate installation of the processor and the radiator 300.

[0067] In the embodiment of the present invention, during the installation and disassembly process, the protective member 100 can effectively prevent the heat sink 300 from colliding with the memory stick 200. At the same time, during the installation process, the guide groove formed by the two second plates 12 and the fourth plate 22 plays a preliminary guiding and positioning role for the heat sink 300. The inner wall surfaces of the two first plates 11 and the inner wall surfaces of the third plate 21 play a further precise positioning role for the heat sink 300, which is beneficial to the smooth installation of the heat sink 300 and the processor.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the angle between the outer wall surface of the third plate body 21 and the outer wall surface of the fourth plate body 22 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees.

[0069] Specifically, a certain angle is formed between the third plate body 21 and the fourth plate body 22. Taking the outer wall surface of the third plate body 21 and the outer wall surface of the fourth plate body 22 as reference, the angle between the outer wall surface of the third plate body 21 and the outer wall surface of the fourth plate body 22 is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. The specific value of the angle is set according to actual needs.

[0070] There are many components on the main board 400, and the included angle is too small. The fourth board body 22 is likely to interfere with the components on the main board 400. If the included angle is too large, the guiding function of the fourth board body 22 cannot be effectively exerted. An appropriate angle can be selected within the range of 90 to 180 degrees.

[0071] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, in an alternative embodiment, a second notch is provided on the side of the fourth board body 22 close to the side plate 1.

[0072] Specifically, the fourth board body 22 has opposite sides, and the two sides of the fourth board body 22 are respectively close to the two side plates 1. A second notch is formed by extending from the end of the fourth board body 22 away from the third board body 21 towards the end close to the third board body 21. The width and length of the second notch are set according to actual requirements. Further, the second notch communicates with the first notch.

[0073] During the installation process, the protective member 100 is placed on the main board 400. The operator holds two opposite surfaces of the radiator 300 and places the radiator 300 vertically downward above the first notch and the second notch. The first notch and the second notch are beneficial for the operator to perform fine and flexible adjustment operations here to install the radiator 300 on the main board 400.

[0074] During the disassembly process, the operator can hold two opposite sides of the radiator 300 at the first notch and the second notch, which is beneficial for conveniently removing the radiator 300. The first notch and the second notch provide sufficient operating space for the operator, which is beneficial for the convenience of the operator's operation.

[0075] In an alternative embodiment, the protective member 100 is made of a flexible material.

[0076] Specifically, the protective member 100 is made of a flexible material. For example, the protective member 100 can be made of flexible materials such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyester, and polyimide. When the memory module 200 or the radiator 300 accidentally collides with the protective member 100 during the installation or disassembly process, the contact between the memory module 200 or the radiator 300 and the protective member 100 is a flexible contact, which can effectively protect the memory module 200, the processor, and the radiator 300. At the same time, such materials have good insulation performance, ensuring the safety during the installation and disassembly process.

[0077] The usage method of the protective member provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0078] Placing the protective member 100 on the main board 400, and the radiator 300 on the main board 400 is located within the accommodating area of the protective member 100;

[0079] Adjust the protective member 100 so that there is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the protective member 100 and the outer peripheral surface of the radiator 300, and there is a second gap between the outer wall surface of the protective member 100 and the detachable components adjacent to the radiator;

[0080] Dismantle and install the radiator 300 and / or the detachable components.

[0081] Specifically, the protective member 100 has been described above and will not be elaborated here. The use of the protective member 100 will be described below, and the detachable component will be described by taking the memory module 200 as an example.

[0082] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when it is necessary to replace the processor or the radiator 300, first place the protective member 100 at an appropriate position on the motherboard 400. At this time, the radiator 300 is located within the accommodating area of the protective member 100. Adjust the protective member 100 so that there is a first gap between the inner wall surface of the protective member 100 and the outer peripheral surface of the radiator 300, and there is a second gap between the outer wall surface of the protective member 100 and the memory module 200 adjacent to the radiator 300, so as to isolate the radiator 300 and the adjacent memory module 200. Then the operator can conveniently take out the radiator 300 from the accommodating area. During the taking-out process, it can effectively prevent the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200. When installing the radiator 300, align the radiator 300 with the accommodating area, and fine adjustments can be made during the placement process. The radiator 300 can only contact the inner wall surface of the protective member 100, and it can also effectively prevent the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200. After completing the replacement operation of the processor or the radiator 300, the protective member 100 can be removed.

[0083] As Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, when it is necessary to replace the memory module 200 installed near the radiator 300, the weight of the memory module 200 is light, and the operator can directly perform the plugging or unplugging operation on the memory module 200. It is also possible to place the protective member 100 at an appropriate position on the motherboard 400. The protective member 100 isolates the radiator 300 and the adjacent memory module 200, and then take out the damaged memory module 200 from the slot and plug the intact memory module 200 into the slot, effectively preventing the memory module 200 from colliding with the radiator 300.

[0084] During the installation or disassembly process, the protective member 100 can isolate the radiator 300 from the adjacent memory module 200, effectively preventing the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200.

[0085] The server provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes a protective member 100. As a supporting part of the server, the protective member 100 is beneficial to the convenience during maintenance and can effectively prevent the radiator 300 from colliding with the memory module 200.
