Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of computing devices, and in particular, to a computing device and a computing node. Background Art

[0002] A computing device, such as a server, includes a cabinet and computing nodes. The computing nodes can be slidably inserted into the cabinet, which can facilitate the installation and maintenance of the computing nodes.

[0003] In the related art, drawer slides are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the computing node to realize the sliding assembly of the computing node. However, different from ordinary drawers, the computing node has characteristics such as a large weight and a large size in the insertion direction. During long-term use, the drawer slides are extremely easy to be damaged, and then problems such as sliding jamming, unsmooth sliding of the computing node, and difficult pulling occur, seriously affecting the use of the computing device.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a solution to better overcome or alleviate the above defects is still a technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a computing device and a computing node. Among them, the computing node is configured with rolling components, which can perform actions simply and labor-savingly, and has a relatively long service life. At the same time, when the computing node is not assembled, it can be stably placed on the operation table or desktop, which is also beneficial to protecting the computing node.

[0006] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a computing node, which can specifically be a server node, etc. The computing node includes a housing, and the housing includes two side plates, and the two side plates are oppositely arranged in the transverse direction. A plurality of rolling components are configured on both side plates, and each rolling component can roll on the same rolling plane. The housing includes a bottom plate, and the bottom plate has a bottom support surface. The bottom support surface and the rolling plane are coplanar. Or, in the vertical direction, the bottom support surface is lower than the rolling plane.

[0007] In the above solution, the housing of the computing node is configured with rolling components, and the computing node can be assembled through the rolling components to realize the push-pull operation of the computing node. Compared with the traditional drawer rail solution, the structural form of the rolling components is simpler, not easily damaged, and has higher reliability, and can ensure the normal operation of the computing node for a relatively long time. In addition, compared with the sliding solution, the force required to drive the rolling components to roll can be relatively small. Therefore, the computing node can also be conveniently pushed and pulled.

[0008] In addition, vertically, the bottom support surface can be lower than the rolling plane. In this way, when the computing node is placed on a desktop or an operating table, the rolling component will not contact the surface of the desktop or the operating table, which is beneficial to ensuring the stable placement of the computing node. Alternatively, the bottom support surface and the rolling plane can also be coplanarly arranged. In this implementation manner, when the computing node is placed on a desktop or an operating table, although the rolling component contacts the surface of the desktop or the operating table, the housing can still be stably placed basically due to the static friction between the bottom support surface and the desktop or the table surface.

[0009] Based on the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a first implementation manner of the first aspect: the bottom plate has a bottom wall surface, the bottom wall surface includes a bottom support surface and two offset surfaces, the two offset surfaces are located on the transverse sides of the bottom support surface, the bottom support surface is lower than the offset surfaces, and the rolling plane is lower than the offset surfaces.

[0010] It should be understood that the computing node provided by the embodiments of the present application can be installed in a cabinet. To adapt to the installation of the computing node, installation components are provided in the cabinet. The rolling component can specifically roll on the installation components to realize the installation or removal of the computing node. The setting of the above-mentioned offset surfaces enables an avoidance to be formed between the housing and the installation components, and can better utilize the space inside the cabinet to accommodate the housing, thereby improving the integration of the device; and it is also beneficial to make the size of the housing larger to increase the internal capacity of the housing, so that the housing can accommodate more or larger-sized electronic devices, and the computing power of the computing node can also be improved.

[0011] Based on the first implementation manner of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a second implementation manner of the first aspect: the housing is provided with a groove, and the rolling component includes a roller, and the roller is installed in the groove. In this way, the rolling component can occupy relatively less of the transverse dimension of the computing node, the size of the housing in the transverse direction can be made larger, correspondingly, the internal capacity of the housing can also be increased, the number or size of the electronic devices that the housing can accommodate can also be increased, and the computing power of the computing node can also be improved.

[0012] The rolling component can also include a roller shaft, the roller can be installed on the roller shaft, and the rolling component can be specifically installed through the roller shaft.

[0013] Based on the second implementation manner of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a third implementation manner of the first aspect: the groove has a lower end opening and a side end opening, the side end opening is located on the transverse outer wall surface of the side plate, and the lower end opening is located on the offset surface. During specific assembly, the rolling component can enter the inside of the groove along the side end opening and be installed on the side plate, and the installation can be relatively convenient.

[0014] Based on the third implementation of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a fourth implementation of the first aspect: the lateral dimension of the roller is less than or equal to that of the groove; in the lateral direction, the roller is assembled inside the groove. In this way, the roller does not protrude from the lateral outer wall surface of the side plate in the lateral direction, and the arrangement of the roller does not occupy the lateral space of the housing, which can maximize the internal capacity of the housing, is conducive to installing more electronic devices or larger-sized electronic devices, and thus can improve the performance of the computing node.

[0015] Based on the second implementation of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a fifth implementation of the first aspect: the groove has only a lower end opening, and the lower end opening is located at the misaligned surface. At this time, the installation of the rolling component also does not occupy the lateral space of the housing, and can also increase the internal capacity of the housing, so as to facilitate the installation of more electronic devices or larger-sized electronic devices, and thus can improve the performance of the computing node.

[0016] Based on the first aspect, or based on any one of the first to fifth implementations of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a sixth implementation of the first aspect: the housing may have a separated main chamber and a receiving space; the main chamber can be used to install electronic devices in the form of a processor, etc., and can be filled with a cooling working medium to achieve the cooling of the electronic devices; the computing node has an insertion and extraction direction, the receiving space is located on one side of the main chamber in the insertion and extraction direction, and the receiving space is configured with an external connection device, which can be used to connect to the electronic devices in the main chamber, or can also communicate with the cooling working medium in the main chamber.

[0017] Adopting this solution, the shell wall plate of the housing can protect the external connection devices in the receiving space, can reduce the damage to the external connection devices during transportation and handling, and can also improve the structural strength of the entire housing, and the appearance design of the housing is also cleaner.

[0018] Based on the sixth implementation of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a seventh implementation of the first aspect: the receiving space includes a separated power signal chamber and a high-speed signal chamber, the external connection devices include a power line and a high-speed signal line, the power line is configured in the power signal chamber, and a power plug portion is configured on the rear wall of the power signal chamber, the high-speed signal line is configured in the high-speed signal chamber, and a high-speed signal plug portion is configured on the rear wall of the high-speed signal chamber; the rear walls of the power signal chamber and the high-speed signal chamber can be an integral structure to improve the structural strength of the computing node, or the rear walls of the power signal chamber and the high-speed signal chamber can also be a split structure.

[0019] The main chamber can be filled with a cooling working medium, and the receiving space is also configured with a working medium inlet pipe and a working medium outlet pipe for realizing the inlet and outlet of the cooling working medium from the main chamber.

[0020] In some embodiments, two vertically-opposed plates of the housing may be provided with avoidance portions for avoiding the working fluid inlet pipe and the common fluid outlet pipe, so as to reduce the vertical dimension of the housing. The avoidance portion may be a hole-shaped structure penetrating the corresponding plate vertically, or may be a groove-shaped structure not penetrating the corresponding plate vertically.

[0021] The accommodation space is further configured with a plug-in guiding component for guiding the installation of the computing node inside the cabinet.

[0022] Based on the first aspect, or based on any one of the first to seventh embodiments of the first aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide an eighth embodiment of the first aspect: The housing includes an upper housing and a lower housing that are butted against each other. One end of the upper housing has a protruding end that protrudes from the lower housing, and the protruding end is configured with a protrusion extending toward the side where the lower housing is located. The protrusion can form a handle for pushing, pulling, and carrying the computing node, which facilitates the manual operation of the staff. Moreover, the protrusion extends toward the side where the lower housing is located, and does not increase the size of the computing node in the up-and-down direction (vertical direction), which is beneficial to saving installation space.

[0023] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application further provide a computing device, which may specifically be a server or the like. The computing device includes a cabinet and at least one computing node. Among them, the cabinet has a mounting member, and the computing node is the computing node involved in the first aspect or each embodiment of the first aspect. The computing node can be in contact with the mounting member through a rolling member. Through the setting of the rolling member, the pushing and pulling operation of the computing node inside the cabinet is simpler and more labor-saving, and has a long service life and is not easily damaged, which is beneficial to ensuring the normal use of the computing device for a long time.

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] In the embodiments of the present application, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of such features.

[0044] In the embodiments of the present application, the term "a plurality of" means two or more; and when "a plurality of" is used to indicate the quantity of several components, it does not represent the mutual relationship in quantity of these components.

[0045] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a detachable connection or a non-detachable connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium.

[0046] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variation thereof is intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. Without further limitation, an element defined by the statement "comprising an..." does not exclude the existence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article or device comprising such element.

[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, "and / or" is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B may represent: the existence of A alone, the simultaneous existence of A and B, and the existence of B alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally represents an "or" relationship between the associated objects before and after.

[0048] With the rapid development of communication technology, Internet service providers, enterprises, research institutions, etc. have generally begun to build data centers (also known as computing clusters) that carry functions such as storage, computing, and transmission to meet the usage requirements for data. The structural forms of data centers can be diverse.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 which is a schematic structural diagram of a specific implementation manner of the data center, Figure 2 and which is a schematic structural diagram of a specific implementation manner of a cabinet and its internal computing devices.

[0050] Such as Figure 1As shown, in a specific solution, the data center 100 may include a computer room 101 and at least one computing device 200. The computer room 101 is used to provide an isolation environment for the data center 100 to isolate the computing device 200 from the outside world. It can be a permanent housing built, or a temporary housing such as a tent or a prefabricated house built temporarily, or it can also be a vehicle device such as a container or a cargo box that can provide a containing space. In specific applications, at least one side wall of the computer room 101 may be provided with an access door to facilitate the entry and exit of staff and others into and out of the data center 100; the specific structural form, opening and closing method, opening and closing control strategy, etc. of the access door are not limited herein as long as the technical effect of enabling staff to enter and exit the data center 100 can be achieved.

[0051] In some embodiments, the data center 100 is further configured with an air-cooling circulation system (not shown in the figure), which ventilates and cools the interior of the computer room 101 by configuring at least one air-conditioning device or fan device, etc., to ensure the internal environment and temperature of the computer room 101.

[0052] Combined Figure 2 , the computing device 200 includes a cabinet 201, and an installation space is formed inside the cabinet 201 for assembling computing nodes 202. The computing device 200 may specifically be a server, and correspondingly, the computing node 202 may be a server node. In some embodiments, the number of computing nodes 202 may be multiple, and each computing node 202 may be distributed at different positions inside the cabinet 201. For example, each computing node 202 may be distributed layer by layer inside the cabinet 201. This embodiment can be referred to Figure 2 . In some other embodiments, the number of computing nodes 202 may also be one. In this case, the computing node 202 can be referred to as a server.

[0053] The cabinet 201 may be configured with a door body 201a. When the door body 201a is in an open state, the interior of the computing device 200 can be in an exposed state to facilitate the installation, maintenance, replacement, and repair of each computing node 202. The number of door bodies 201a is not limited, which is specifically related to the structural form, size, etc. of the computing node 202. The opening and closing methods of the door body 201a include but are not limited to rotary opening and closing, push-pull opening and closing, retractable opening and closing, etc. The lock parts required for the door body 201a can refer to the prior art and are not limited herein.

[0054] Installation members may be provided inside the cabinet 201 for realizing the support and assembly of the computing node 202 inside the cabinet 201. The structural form of the installation members can be diverse as long as the usage requirements can be met. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this herein.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 3 andFigure 4 , Figure 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a specific implementation manner of the installation member, Figure 4 and Figure 3 is the schematic structural diagram of the installation member in

[0056] As Figure 3 shown, in an exemplary solution, the installation member 201b can be an L-shaped plate member, which includes a horizontal plate portion 201b-1 and a vertical plate portion 201b-2. The vertical plate portion 201b-2 can be installed on the inner wall surface of the cabinet 201, and the specific installation methods include but are not limited to welding, screw connection, riveting, snap connection, etc., as long as the reliability of the installation can be ensured. The horizontal plate portion 201b-1 can provide support for the computing node 202, and the space between the two horizontal plate portions 201b-1 can be used to form an air duct for dissipating heat from the computing node 202.

[0057] It should be understood that in some scenarios, the structure of the computing node 202 can also be designed so that the computing node 202 can occupy the space between the two horizontal plate portions 201b-1. In this way, the space inside the cabinet 201 can be utilized more fully, and thus the integration degree of the device can be improved.

[0058] In some other variant solutions, the two horizontal plate portions 201b-1 can also be of an integral structure, that is, the installation member 201b can also generally present as a "ㄩ" shape. At this time, if there is a heat dissipation requirement, a hollow structure can also be provided on the bottom plate of the installation member 201b; or, the installation member 201b can also directly adopt a plate member and then be fixed inside the cabinet 201 through installation methods such as welding, plugging, and screw connection, which is also feasible.

[0059] Multiple connection interfaces can be provided inside the cabinet 201 for connecting with the computing node 202. The connection interfaces include but are not limited to power interfaces, high-speed signal structures, cooling medium interfaces, etc.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 5 - 7 , Figure 5 which is a schematic structural diagram of a computing node, Figure 6 and Figure 5 is the schematic structural diagram from another perspective, Figure 7 and Figure 5 is the cross-sectional view in the A-A direction.

[0061] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, the computing node 202 includes a housing 1, the housing 1 has an inner cavity, and electronic devices in the form of processors and the like are installed in the inner cavity. The housing 1 can generally present as a cuboid style.

[0062] For ease of description,Figure 4 Taking the orientation and positional relationship in it as an example, orientations such as "front", "rear", "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" are defined. Specifically, the front-rear direction is the installation direction of the computing node 202. Among them, the movement that controls the computing node 202 to further penetrate into the cabinet 201 is the backward movement, and the movement that controls the computing node 202 to gradually withdraw from the interior of the cabinet 201 is the forward movement. The computing node 202 can move in the cabinet 201 along the front-rear direction. In some embodiments, this front-rear direction is also referred to as the length direction or the longitudinal direction; combined with the foregoing Figure 2 , the up-down direction is the direction in which the computing nodes 202 are stacked inside the cabinet 201. In some embodiments, the up-down direction is also referred to as the height direction, the thickness direction, or the vertical direction; the direction perpendicular to the up-down direction and the front-rear direction is the left-right direction. In some embodiments, the left-right direction is also referred to as the width direction or the transverse direction.

[0063] Combined with Figure 7 , a plurality of rolling components 2 are arranged on both lateral sides of the housing 1. Each rolling component 2 can roll on the same rolling plane 2a; combined with the foregoing Figure 3 , this rolling plane 2a can be the upper surface of the transverse plate portion 201b-1; the computing node 202 can roll on the mounting member 201b through the rolling component 2, so as to realize the plug-in assembly and pulling out of the computing node 202 inside the cabinet 201. Compared with the traditional drawer track scheme, the structural form of the rolling component 2 is simpler, not easily damaged, and has higher reliability, and can ensure the normal operation of the computing node 202 for a relatively long time; in addition, compared with the sliding scheme, the force for driving the rolling component 2 to roll can be relatively small. Therefore, the computing node 202 can also be conveniently pushed and pulled.

[0064] The number of the rolling components 2 arranged on both lateral sides of the housing 1 is not limited herein, and specifically needs to be determined in combination with the size of the computing node 202 in the front-rear direction and the weight of the computing node, etc. In Figure 5 and Figure 6 's scheme, eight rolling components 2 are arranged on both lateral sides of the housing 1.

[0065] The housing 1 includes a bottom plate 121 which has a bottom supporting surface 121a. In the up-and-down direction, the bottom supporting surface 121a can be lower than the rolling plane 2a. Thus, when the computing node 202 is placed on a desktop or an operating table (i.e., when not assembled into the cabinet 201), the rolling member 2 will not contact the surface of the desktop or the operating table, which is beneficial to ensuring the stable placement of the computing node 202. In the present embodiment, the bottom supporting surface 121a and the rolling plane 2a can be parallel to each other or can be arranged at an angle; in the scheme of being arranged at an angle, the specific angle value between the bottom supporting surface 121a and the rolling plane 2a is not limited herein.

[0066] It should be understood that the bottom supporting surface 121a and the rolling plane 2a can also be arranged coplanarly. In this embodiment, when the computing node 202 is placed on a desktop or an operating table, although the rolling member 2 contacts the surface of the desktop or the operating table, the housing 1 can still be stably placed basically due to the static friction between the bottom supporting surface 121a and the desktop or the table surface.

[0067] Still as Figure 3 shown, the housing 1 can also include two side plates 122. The two side plates 122 can be arranged opposite to each other in the transverse direction (left-right direction). The two side plates 122 are located above the bottom plate 121. The aforementioned rolling member 2 can specifically be installed on the side plates 122. The housing 1 can also be provided with a groove 122a. The rolling member 2 can include a roller shaft 21 and a roller 22. The roller shaft 21 can be fixedly installed on the side plate 122. The roller 22 can be installed on the roller shaft 21 through components such as bearings and can rotate relative to the roller shaft 21 so as to drive the computing node 202 to move inside the cabinet 201; it should be understood that the roller shaft 21 and the roller 22 can also be fixedly assembled. At this time, the roller shaft 21 can be installed on the side plate 122 through components such as bearings to achieve the relative rotation of the roller shaft 21 and the side plate 122, which can also realize the movement of the computing node 202 inside the cabinet 201. In the transverse direction, the roller 22 can be partially or entirely installed in the groove 122a. Thus, the setting of the rolling member 2 can occupy relatively less of the transverse dimension of the computing node 202, the dimension of the housing 1 in the transverse direction can be made larger, correspondingly, the internal capacity of the housing 1 can also be increased, the number or size of the electronic devices that the housing 1 can accommodate can also be increased, and the computing power of the computing node 202 can also be improved.

[0068] The bottom plate 121 may have a bottom wall surface, which includes the aforementioned bottom support surface 121a and two offset surfaces 121b. The two offset surfaces 121b may be located on the transverse sides of the bottom support surface 121a. The groove 122a has a lower end opening, and the lower end opening may be located on the offset surface 121b. Moreover, the bottom support surface 121a may be lower than the offset surface 121b, and the rolling plane 2a may be lower than the offset surface 121b. In this way, the roller 22 can protrude downward from the offset surface 121b and smoothly contact the mounting member 201b, thereby realizing the movement of the computing node 202 inside the cabinet 201.

[0069] Based on the offset arrangement of the offset surface 121b and the bottom support surface 121a in the up-and-down direction, the first notch groove 121c can be formed on the transverse sides of the bottom plate 121. With such an arrangement, on the one hand, it can adapt to the installation of the rolling component 2 to ensure that the rolling component 2 can contact the mounting member 201b. On the other hand, it can also reduce the consumption of materials and reduce the weight of the housing 1, facilitating the pushing and pulling operation of the computing node 202. At the same time, it can also make full use of the space between the two transverse plate parts 201b-1 to install the computing node 202, thereby improving the integration of the device.

[0070] Combined Figure 6 , the first notch groove 121c can extend forward from the rear end of the housing 1 and does not penetrate the entire housing 1 in the front-rear direction. In this way, the first notch groove 121c can have a first front end wall 121c-1, and the projection of the mounting member 201b in the front-rear direction can fall on the first front end wall 121c-1. In this way, the first front end wall 121c-1 can be used as a limiting component to form a stop with the mounting member 201b, so as to limit the insertion depth of the computing node 202 in the cabinet 201 and can reduce the collision force between the computing node 202 and the internal connection interface of the cabinet 201, which is beneficial to protecting the connection interface and can thus extend the service life of the connection interface. Similarly, the side plate 122 can also be provided with a second notch groove 122b similar to the first notch groove 121c. The second notch groove 122b can also extend from the rear to the front and does not penetrate the side plate 122. In this way, the second notch groove 122b can have a second front end wall 122b-1, and the second front end wall 122b-1 can also cooperate with the mounting member 201b to further limit the insertion depth of the computing node 202.

[0071] It should be understood that the first notch groove 121c and the second notch groove 122b can also be provided alternatively; or, the first notch groove 121c and the second notch groove 122b can also be through grooves that penetrate in the front-rear direction.

[0072] Still as Figure 7As shown, the aforementioned groove 122a can extend transversely to the transverse outer wall surface of the side plate 122. In other words, the groove 122a can also have a side-end opening, and this side-end opening can be located on the transverse outer wall surface of the side plate 122. In this way, the installation of the rolling member 2 can be relatively easy. Here, the transverse outer wall surface refers to the wall surface of the side plate 122 that is away from the inner cavity of the housing 1 in the transverse direction; in Figure 7 the structure shown, this transverse outer wall surface specifically refers to the right wall surface of the side plate 122.

[0073] The transverse dimension of the roller 22 can be less than or equal to that of the groove 122a, and in the transverse direction, the roller 22 can be integrally assembled inside the groove 122a. In this way, the roller 22 does not protrude from the transverse outer wall surface of the side plate 122 in the transverse direction. The arrangement of the roller 22 does not occupy the transverse space of the housing 1, and can maximize the internal capacity of the housing 1, which is beneficial to installing more electronic devices or larger-sized electronic devices, and thus can improve the performance of the computing node 202.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 which is a partial cross-sectional view of another computing node.

[0075] As Figure 8 shown, the groove 122a can also be provided in the transverse middle area of the side plate 122. At this time, the groove 122a does not extend to the transverse outer wall surface of the side plate 122, and the installation of the roller 22 also does not occupy the transverse space of the housing 1. In this implementation, in order to realize the installation of the rolling member 2, the side plate 122 or the bottom plate 121 can be set as a split structure.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 9 , Figure 9 which is a partial cross-sectional view of yet another computing node.

[0077] In fact, the aforementioned groove 122a may not exist either. As Figure 9 shown, the roller 22 can be directly installed on the transverse outer side (i.e., the side away from the inner cavity) of the side plate 122. At this time, the bottom plate 121 may not be provided with the aforementioned offset surface 121b and the first notch groove 121c, and the structural form of the bottom plate 121 can be relatively simple. Of course, in this solution, the offset surface 121b can also be provided.

[0078] Combined with Figures 5 - 9 , the housing 1 can include an upper housing 11 and a lower housing 12. The upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 can be butted in the up-down direction and fixed by means such as screw connection and snap connection. After the butting is completed, the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 can enclose to form the aforementioned inner cavity.

[0079] To ensure effective heat dissipation of the electronic devices inside the housing 1, a cooling working medium is also passed through the inner cavity of the housing 1. The cooling working medium can be a liquid-phase working medium or a two-phase working medium. To prevent leakage of the cooling working medium, a sealing component 13 is also arranged at the docking joint of the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12. The sealing component 13 can specifically be a rubber ring or the like.

[0080] In some embodiments, the internal space of the inner cavity can be formed by the lower housing 12. At this time, the upper housing 11 only serves as a cover; of course, the internal space of the inner cavity can also be formed by the upper housing 11. At this time, the lower housing 12 also serves as a cover. In other embodiments, both the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 can form a cavity space extending in the up-down direction. After the upper housing 11 and the lower housing 12 are docked, the cavity spaces of the two can be connected to jointly form the inner cavity of the housing 1. Both of these two embodiments can be adopted in specific practices.

[0081] For ease of understanding, in the following embodiments of the present application, only the case where the lower housing 12 forms the internal space of the inner cavity is taken as an example for description. Additionally, for ease of description, in the relevant descriptions below, the inner cavity of the housing 1 will also be directly described as the inner cavity of the lower housing 12.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 which is a schematic structural diagram of the lower housing, Figure 11 and Figure 10 is a partial structural diagram of

[0083] As Figure 10 shown, the lower housing 12 includes a bottom plate 121, two side plates 122, a front plate 123, and a rear plate 124. The two side plates 122 can be arranged opposite to each other in the left-right direction, and the front plate 123 and the rear plate 124 can be arranged opposite to each other in the front-rear direction. The bottom plate 121, the two side plates 122, the front plate 123, and the rear plate 124 can be integrally formed, for example, by integral casting, so as to simplify the preparation process of the lower housing 12; of course, these plate members can also be separately formed and then connected by means such as screw connection, welding, riveting, and snap connection. It should be noted that when using connection methods such as screw connection, riveting, and snap connection that cannot directly form a sealed connection, sealing members in the form of sealing rings need to be arranged between the plate members to ensure the sealing performance of the lower housing 12.

[0084] The rear panel 124 is not disposed at the rear end of the bottom panel 121. Thus, the rear panel 124 can divide the space between the bottom panel 121 and the two side panels 122 into two parts, namely, the main chamber 14 enclosed by the front panel 123, the two side panels 122, the rear panel 124, and the bottom panel 121, and the accommodation space 15 enclosed by the rear panel 124, the two side panels 122, and the bottom panel 121. The main chamber 14 can be located at the front side of the accommodation space 15, and the upper shell 11 can cover the upper part of the main chamber 14 and the accommodation space 15. Electronic devices in the form of the aforementioned processors and the like are arranged in the main chamber 14, and a cooling working fluid is filled therein to meet the cooling and heat dissipation requirements of the electronic devices; the accommodation space 15 can be provided with external connection devices, and the external connection devices are also used to dock with the connection interfaces inside the cabinet 201.

[0085] Adopting this solution, the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 can protect the external connection devices in the accommodation space 15, reduce the damage to the external connection devices during transportation and handling, and further improve the structural strength of the entire housing 1, and the appearance design of the housing 1 is also cleaner.

[0086] Combined Figure 11 , two partition plates 125 extending in the front-rear direction can be arranged in the accommodation space 15, and the two partition plates 125 can be spaced apart in the left-right direction to partition the isolated power signal chamber 151 and high-speed signal chamber 152 in the accommodation space 15. A power cord 151a is arranged in the power signal chamber 151, and a high-speed signal line 152a is arranged in the high-speed signal chamber 152. The power cord 151a and the high-speed signal line 152a are both the aforementioned external connection devices.

[0087] In some alternative embodiments, the housing 1 can also be provided with a sheet metal part 16, and the sheet metal part 16 can be connected to the partition plate 125 and the side panel 122 to form the rear walls of the power signal chamber 151 and the high-speed signal chamber 152 and improve the structural strength of the power signal chamber 151 and the high-speed signal chamber 152. It should be understood that the rear walls of the power signal chamber 151 and the high-speed signal chamber 152 can also be independent of each other, that is, two sheet metal parts 16 can be provided, and the two sheet metal parts 16 can respectively form the rear wall of the power signal chamber 151 and the rear wall of the high-speed signal chamber 152.

[0088] The rear wall of the power signal chamber 151 can be provided with a power plugging part 151b, and the power cord 151a can be connected to the power plugging part 151b. The rear wall of the high-speed signal chamber 152 can be provided with a high-speed signal plugging part 152b, and the high-speed signal line 152a can be connected to the high-speed signal plugging part 152b.

[0089] The external connection device may further include a working medium inlet pipe 153 and a working medium outlet pipe 154, and both the working medium inlet pipe 153 and the working medium outlet pipe 154 may be installed on the rear plate 124 to realize the circulation of the cooling working medium in the main chamber 14.

[0090] Combined with the foregoing Figure 6 , a first avoidance portion 121d may further be provided on the bottom plate 121 of the lower housing 12, and the setting position of the first avoidance portion 121d may correspond to the installation positions of the working medium inlet pipe 153 and the working medium outlet pipe 154, so that the working medium inlet pipe 153 and the working medium outlet pipe 154 may be partially located within the first avoidance portion 121d, thereby reducing the size of the housing 1 in the up and down directions. The first avoidance portion 121d may be a hole-shaped structure penetrating the bottom plate 121 in the up and down directions, or may be a groove-shaped structure not penetrating the bottom plate 121 from top to bottom.

[0091] The accommodation space 15 may further be configured with a plug-in guiding member 155 for guiding the assembly direction of the computing node 202. Here, the specific structure of the plug-in guiding member 155 is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. In practical applications, those skilled in the art may set it according to the specific structure of the guiding and mating members provided inside the cabinet 201, as long as the technical effect of plug-in guiding can be achieved; for example, as Figure 11 shown, the plug-in guiding member 155 may be provided with a guiding hole 155a, and the guiding and mating member inside the cabinet 201 may specifically be a guiding post or the like. When the computing node 202 is inserted and installed, the guiding post may be inserted into the guiding hole 155a.

[0092] In some alternative embodiments, a pressure relief valve 156 and a signal connector 157 may further be provided in the accommodation space 15, and the foregoing external connection device includes the pressure relief valve 156 and the signal connector 157. The pressure relief valve 156 is used to open when the pressure in the main chamber 14 is too high, so as to reduce the pressure inside the main chamber 14, thereby improving the safety performance, and the signal connector 157 is used to externally connect a signal line.

[0093] Combined with the foregoing Figure 5 , a self-locking buckle 126 may be provided at the front end of the lower housing 12, and the self-locking buckle 126 can cooperate with the cabinet 201 to realize the installation and fixation of the computing node 202 inside the cabinet 201. The specific structure of the self-locking buckle 126 is not limited herein. In practical applications, those skilled in the art may determine it with reference to related technologies. It should be understood that the self-locking buckle 126 may also be provided on the upper housing 11, as long as the self-locking function can be achieved.

[0094] Please refer to Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 is a schematic structural diagram of the upper housing, Figure 13 is Figure 12Exploded view.

[0095] As Figure 12 and Figure 13 shown, the upper shell 11 includes a main body portion 111. The main body portion 111 is basically in a plate-like structure, and a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 111a are provided on the side facing the main chamber 14 to enhance the structural strength of the main body portion 111. The material of the main body portion 111 can generally be aluminum alloy or the like.

[0096] In some alternative embodiments, the upper shell 11 may further include a second reinforcing rib 112. The second reinforcing rib 112 can be made of a material with higher structural strength, such as steel material. The second reinforcing rib 112 can be installed and fixed to the main body portion 111 through connectors such as screws to further enhance the structural strength of the upper shell 11.

[0097] Combined with the foregoing Figure 4 and Figure 6 , the front end of the upper shell 11 has a protruding end portion 111b that protrudes from the lower shell 12, and the protruding end portion 111b can be configured with a downwardly extending protrusion 111b-1. Since the protrusion 111b-1 extends downward, it will not increase the size of the computing node 202 in the up and down directions, which is beneficial to saving installation space. At the same time, the protrusion 111b-1 can be used as a handle for pushing, pulling and carrying the computing node 202 to facilitate the manual operation of the staff.

[0098] In some alternative embodiments, the upper shell 11 may further be provided with a second avoidance portion 111c. The setting position of the second avoidance portion 111c can correspond to the installation positions of the working fluid inlet pipe 153 and the working fluid outlet pipe 154, so that the working fluid inlet pipe 153 and the working fluid outlet pipe 154 can be partially located within the second avoidance portion 111c, thereby reducing the size of the housing 1 in the up and down directions. The second avoidance portion 111c can be a hole-shaped structure that penetrates the upper shell 11 in the up and down directions, or a groove-shaped structure that does not penetrate the upper shell 11 from bottom to top.

[0099] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and refinements can be made, and these improvements and refinements should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present application.
