Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a server bracket, a server node and a computing device. Background Art
[0002] The power consumption of the central processing unit (CPU) of current server nodes continues to increase, and the number of graphics processing unit (GPU) models continues to increase. At the same time, the server nodes' demand for storage, input / output (I / O) expansion modules, etc. continues to increase, and the density of internal devices in server nodes continues to increase, resulting in limited air intake area of server nodes, affecting the server node's ability to dissipate heat for internal devices such as the CPU and GPU, causing a heat dissipation bottleneck problem for server nodes. The current air intake area of server nodes is obtained by reducing the hard disk configuration or further compressing the hard disk handle structure space. It is difficult to reduce the air intake resistance of server nodes due to the influence of the hard disk standard size configuration and uneven heat dissipation. Summary of the invention
[0003] The present application provides a server bracket, a server node and a computing device. The two wind shields of the server bracket can increase the lateral air intake of the server node, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server node.
[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a bracket, which is used to fix a server on a cabinet, and the bracket includes a slide rail and a windshield, one end of the windshield is connected to the slide rail, and the other end of the windshield is used to abut the cabinet. The windshield is rotatably connected to the slide rail; or, the windshield is fixedly connected to the slide rail, and an angle is formed between the windshield and the slide rail.
[0005] In the present application, one end of the windshield is rotatably connected to the slide rail, and the other end of the windshield is used to abut the cabinet. The angle between the windshield and the slide rail is adjustable, so that the windshield can adapt to various installation environments inside the cabinet. While avoiding the wiring, beams and other components inside the cabinet, it can still form a good abutment with the cabinet to separate the space between the slide rail and the cabinet. In addition, the windshield can rotate relative to the slide rail. When the distance between the slide rail and the cabinet changes, the windshield can still adapt well, which helps to expand the adaptability of the server bracket.
[0006] In some possible implementations, the wind shield is detachably connected to the slide rail.
[0007] In the present application, the wind shield is detachably connected to the slide rail, so that the slide rail can be installed with wind shields of different heights, so that the server bracket can be replaced with wind shields of different heights according to servers of different heights, which helps to improve the adaptability of the server bracket and expand the application range of the server bracket.
[0008] In some possible implementations, when the wind shield is rotated to connect to the slide rail, the bracket also includes an elastic member, one end of the elastic member is connected to the wind shield, and the other end of the elastic member is connected to the slide rail. The elastic member has an elastic force, and the elastic force is used to drive the wind shield to abut against the cabinet.
[0009] In the present application, when the other end of the wind shield abuts against the cabinet, the wind shield forms a force on the elastic member, and the elastic member generates an elastic force to drive the wind shield to rotate toward the air inlet side of the cabinet, so that the other end of the wind shield can form a good abutment with the cabinet to improve the sealing between the wind shield and the cabinet.
[0010] In some possible implementations, a brush structure is provided at one end of the wind shield that abuts against the cabinet.
[0011] In the present application, a brush structure is provided at one end of the wind shield for abutting against the cabinet. The brush structure can form a good fit with the cabinet, so that the wind shield can achieve contact sealing for cabinets of different shapes, which helps to improve the sealing between the wind shield and the cabinet, and the wind shield has better environmental adaptability.
[0012] In some possible implementations, the wind shield includes a first part and a second part, the first part is a hard part, one end of the first part is connected to the slide rail, the second part is connected to the other end of the first part, and the hardness of the second part is less than that of the first part; or, the wind shield is a flexible part.
[0013] In the present application, since the first part of the windshield is rotatably connected to the slide rail, and the second part of the windshield abuts against the side wall of the cabinet, the hardness of the first part is greater than that of the second part, so that the connection between the first part and the support is more stable, and the second part is softer and easier to deform, so that the second part can adapt to different shapes and different installation environments of the cabinet, thereby helping to improve the environmental adaptability of the server bracket. In addition, the second part has a lower hardness and is easier to form a good contact with the side wall of the cabinet, which helps to improve the sealing between the windshield and the cabinet, thereby improving the windshield's ability to block wind.
[0014] In some possible implementations, the wind shield includes a wind shield and a plurality of ribs, the wind shield includes a first part and a second part, one end of the first part is connected to the slide rail, the second part is connected to the other end of the first part, some of the plurality of ribs are fixed to the first part, and another part of the ribs are fixed to the second part, and the density of the ribs fixed to the first part is greater than the density of the ribs fixed to the second part.
[0015] In the present application, the structure of the windshield is simple, and the structural strength of the windshield can be improved by ribs. The density of the ribs of the first part of the windshield is greater than the density of the ribs of the second part, so that the structural strength of the first part is greater than the structural strength of the second part. The first part of the windshield is rotatably connected to the support member, and the second part of the windshield abuts the cabinet. The structural strength of the first part is greater than the structural strength of the second part. The first part has a large structural strength and a large hardness, which makes the connection between the first part and the support member more stable. The second part has a small structural strength, is softer, and is easy to deform, so that the second part can adapt to different shapes and different installation environments of the cabinet, thereby helping to improve the environmental adaptability of the server bracket.
[0016] In some possible implementations, the height of the wind shield is greater than the height of the slide rail.
[0017] In the present application, the height of the wind shield is greater than the height of the slide rail, and the height of the second wind shield is greater than the height of the second slide rail. On the one hand, the slide rail and the second slide rail have a smaller blocking effect on wind, so as to reduce wind resistance and help wind enter the inside of the server through the lateral air inlet of the server. On the other hand, the height of the slide rail is relatively small, which helps to miniaturize the server bracket while meeting the supporting function of the server, so as to reduce the weight of the server bracket and the total cost of the server bracket.
[0018] In some possible implementations, the slide rail has a first end and a second end, and when the bracket is installed on the cabinet, the first end of the slide rail is located at the air inlet side of the cabinet, and the second end is located at the air outlet side of the cabinet. The slide rail is provided with a ventilation hole, the wind shield is located between the first end and the second end, and the ventilation hole is located between the wind shield and the first end.

[0020] In some possible implementations, the slide rail further includes a support member and a fixing member, and the support member is slidably connected to the fixing member. When the support member slides relative to the fixing member, the length of the slide rail changes.
[0021] In the present application, the support member of the slide rail is slidably connected to the fixed member. When the support member slides relative to the fixed member, the length of the slide rail changes, so that the length of the slide rail can be adjusted. The slide rail can be adjusted to a suitable length according to the structure of the cabinet so as to be installed in the cabinet, so that the server bracket can adapt to different installation environments and cabinets of different specifications.
[0022] In some possible implementations, the wind shield is connected to the support, and the ventilation hole is located on the support.
[0023] In the present application, the wind shield is connected to the support member, the ventilation holes are located on the support member, and the wind shield is closer to the air inlet side of the server, so that the air duct between the bracket and the cabinet is shorter, so that the wind blocked by the wind shield can more easily enter the accommodating space of the server bracket through the ventilation holes of the slide rail, thereby increasing the air volume entering the server to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the server.
[0024] In some possible implementations, the wind shield is connected to the fixing member, and the ventilation hole is located on the supporting member.
[0025] In the present application, the wind shield is connected to the fixing member, and during the movement of the fixing member relative to the supporting member, the fixing member can be prevented from being blocked by components on the supporting member, and the fixing member can move a greater distance relative to the supporting member.

The server bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, the slide rail of the first bracket and the slide rail of the second bracket are both fixed to the cabinet, the slide rail of the first bracket and the slide rail of the second bracket are arranged opposite to each other, and a storage space is formed between the slide rail of the first bracket and the slide rail of the second bracket, and the server is installed in the storage space. A first space is formed between the slide rail of the first bracket and the cabinet, the wind shield of the first bracket is located in the first space, one end of the wind shield of the first bracket is connected to the slide rail of the first bracket, and the other end of the wind shield of the first bracket abuts the cabinet. A second space is formed between the slide rail of the second bracket and the cabinet, the wind shield of the second bracket is located in the second space, one end of the wind shield of the second bracket is connected to the slide rail of the second bracket, and the other end of the wind shield of the second bracket abuts the cabinet.

[0029] In the present application, two wind shields are provided on the side of the server bracket facing the cabinet. The two wind shields can guide the wind between the server bracket and the cabinet to the side of the server, thereby helping to increase the lateral air intake of the server node to improve the heat dissipation effect of the server node.

[0032] In a fourth aspect, the present application further provides a computing device, the computing device comprising a cabinet and the above-mentioned server node, wherein the server node is installed in the cabinet.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device 1000 provided in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the server node 100 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a partially exploded structure of the server 20 is shown.
[0063] In some embodiments, the implementation method of the present application provides a computing device 1000. The computing device 1000 may include a cabinet 200 and a server node 100 installed in the cabinet 200. The server node 100 may include a server 20 and a server bracket 10, the server 20 is installed in the server bracket 10, the server bracket 10 is used to support and fix the server 20, and the server bracket 10 is fixed to the cabinet 200 so that the server 20 can be installed in the cabinet 200 through the server bracket 10. The computing device 1000 may include multiple server nodes 100, and the embodiment of the present application takes one of the server nodes 100 as an example for description. The computing device 1000 may also be installed with a switch, a management network card, a power module, etc., which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that Figure 1 Only one server node 100 of the computing device 1000 is illustrated.
[0064] Among them, the server 20 is a special computer that provides certain services to the client (Client) in a network environment. Under the control of the network operating system, it provides the data access device, tape, printer and various special communication equipment connected to it to the client site on the network for sharing, and can also provide centralized computing, information publishing and data management services for network users. Its high performance is mainly reflected in high-speed computing power, long-term reliable operation, strong external data throughput capacity and other aspects. In the embodiment of the present application, the server 20 can be a rack server, a blade server and other types of servers, and the present application does not limit this.
[0065] In some embodiments, the server 20 may include a chassis 201, a hard disk assembly 202, a fan assembly 203, and a motherboard assembly 204, wherein the hard disk assembly 202, the fan assembly 203, and the motherboard assembly 204 are installed inside the chassis 201. The fan assembly 203 is used to drive the air outside the server 20 to enter the inside of the server 20 from the air inlet side 205 of the server 20, and to flow out of the server 20 from the air outlet side 206 of the server 20. Among them, the side of the cabinet 200 with an opening is the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, so that air can enter the server 20 from the outside of the cabinet 200. It can be understood that the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200 is the air inlet side 205 of the server 20. During the operation of the server 20, heat-generating components such as the hard disk assembly 202 and the motherboard assembly 204 will generate a large amount of heat. The fan assembly 203 drives the cold air outside the server 20 to enter the inside of the server 20 from the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 to dissipate heat to heat-generating components such as the hard disk assembly 202 and the motherboard assembly 204. After the cold air absorbs the heat of the heat-generating components inside the server 20 and the temperature rises to become hot air, the fan assembly 203 drives the hot air to be discharged from the air outlet side 206 of the server 20 to the outside of the server 20, thereby achieving heat dissipation for the server 20.
[0066] The chassis 201 may include an upper cover 2011 and a base 2012, wherein the upper cover 2011 is fixed to the base 2012. The base 2012 may include a first side plate 2013, a second side plate 2014, and a bottom plate ( Figure 3 The first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014 are arranged opposite to each other, and the bottom plate connects the first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014. The first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014 are both provided with lateral air inlet holes 2015, so that the air on both sides of the chassis 201 can enter the inner side of the server 20 from the lateral air inlet holes 2015 on the first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014, so as to improve the heat dissipation effect of the server 20.
[0067] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The server rack 10 is a schematic diagram of the structure in some embodiments.
[0068] In some embodiments, the server rack 10 may include two racks. To distinguish the two racks, the two racks of the server rack 10 are named as a first rack 1 and a second rack 2, respectively. The first rack 1 and the second rack 2 are arranged opposite to each other, and an accommodation space 101 is formed between the first rack 1 and the second rack 2. The accommodation space 101 is used to install the server 20 (please refer to Figure 2 ).
[0069] It is understandable that the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 have the same or similar structure, and the second bracket 2 can be set with reference to the first bracket 1. Exemplarily, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 are symmetrical structures or approximately symmetrical structures. Among them, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 both have slide rails and windshields. In order to distinguish the slide rails and windshields of the first bracket 1 from the slide rails and windshields of the second bracket 2, the slide rails and windshields of the first bracket 1 are respectively named as the first slide rail 11 and the first windshield 12, and the slide rails and windshields of the second bracket 2 are respectively named as the second slide rail 21 and the second windshield 22. The first slide rail 11 is used to be fixed to the cabinet 200 of the computing device 1000. One end of the first windshield 12 is connected to the first slide rail 11, and the other end of the first windshield 12 is used to abut the cabinet 200. The second slide rail 21 is used to be fixed to the cabinet 200 of the computing device 1000. One end of the second wind shield 22 is connected to the second slide rail 21, and the other end of the second wind shield 22 is used to abut against the cabinet 200 (please refer to Figure 1 The first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 are arranged opposite to each other, and an accommodation space 101 is formed between the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 . The accommodation space 101 is used to install the server 20 .
[0070] Please refer to Figures 5 to 7 , Figure 5 yes Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the partially exploded structure of the server bracket 10 is shown. Fig. 6A yes Figure 5 The structural schematic diagram of the support member 13 is shown in FIG. Figure 6B yes Fig. 6A The structural schematic diagram of the support member 13 at another angle is shown. Figure 7 yes Figure 3 A partial structural schematic diagram of the server rack 10 is shown (I).
[0071] In some embodiments, the first slide rail 11 may include a support member 13 and a fixing member 14, wherein the support member 13 is slidably connected to the fixing member 14. When the support member 13 slides relative to the fixing member 14, the length of the first slide rail 11 changes. The support member 13 and the fixing member 14 may both be in the shape of long strips. The fixing member 14 is used to fix the cabinet 200, and the support member 13 is used to plug into the cabinet 200 so that the first slide rail 11 is fixed to the cabinet 200 of the computing device 1000. The first slide rail 11 is used to install the server 20, wherein the support member 13 is used to support and fix the server 20 (see Figure 2 ). It is understandable that the support member and the fixing member of the second slide rail 21 can be arranged with reference to the support member 13 and the fixing member 14 of the first slide rail 11.
[0072] In this embodiment, the support member 13 of the first slide rail 11 is slidably connected to the fixing member 14. When the support member 13 slides relative to the fixing member 14, the length of the first slide rail 11 changes, so that the length of the first slide rail 11 is adjustable. The first slide rail 11 can be adjusted to a suitable length according to the structure of the cabinet 200 so as to be installed in the cabinet 200, so that the server bracket 10 can adapt to different installation environments and cabinets 200 of different specifications.

[0076] In this embodiment, the first slide rail 11 is provided with a ventilation hole 137, and the ventilation hole 137 is located between the first wind shield 12 and the first end of the first slide rail 11, so that the wind blocked by the first wind shield 12 can more easily enter the accommodating space 101 of the server bracket 10 through the ventilation hole 137 of the first slide rail 11, thereby increasing the air volume entering the server 20 to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the server 20.
[0077] In some embodiments, the support member 13 may further include an abutment plate 138, which is located on the side of the first plate 131 away from the second plate 132 and connected to the first plate 131.

The first through hole 1381 may be a square hole, and the first through hole 1381 may be used for installing fasteners or ventilation. The second through hole 1382 may be a circular hole, and the second through hole 1382 is used for installing fasteners. In some other embodiments, the shapes of the first through hole 1381 and the second through hole 1382 may also be other shapes, and the present application does not strictly limit this. Among them, abutment refers to the contact between the blocking plate and the server 20, and the existence of an interaction force between the blocking plate and the server 20. In the relevant description below, abutment is understood similarly, referring to the contact between two components and the existence of an interaction force between the two, which will not be repeated below.
[0078] The first slide rail 11 may further include a first fastener 16, a first fixing plate 139, a second fastener 17 and a second fixing plate 141.

[0079] Please refer again Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the first windshield 12 is detachably connected to the first slide rail 11. For example, the first windshield 12 can be connected to the first slide rail 11 by various detachable connection methods such as snap connection, buckle connection, and thread connection. The second windshield 22 is detachably connected to the second slide rail 21. For example, the second windshield 22 can be fixed to the second slide rail 21 by various detachable connection methods such as snap connection, buckle connection, and thread connection.
[0080] In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 is detachably connected to the first slide rail 11, and the second wind shield 22 is detachably connected to the second slide rail 21, so that the first slide rail 11 can be installed with first wind shields 12 of different heights, and the second slide rail 21 can be installed with second wind shields 22 of different heights. This allows the server bracket 10 to replace the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 of different heights according to the servers 20 of different heights, which helps to improve the adaptability of the server bracket 10 and expand the application range of the server bracket 10.
[0081] In some embodiments, the first bracket 1 of the server bracket 10 may further include a plurality of first wind shields 12 of different heights. Exemplarily, the plurality of first wind shields 12 of different heights can be detachably connected to the first slide rail 11. In this embodiment, the plurality of first wind shields 12 of different heights can be used interchangeably. When the server bracket 10 needs to be used to install servers 20 of different heights, the user can select a suitable first wind shield 12 according to the height of the server 20 and assemble it on the first slide rail 11, thereby improving the applicability of the server bracket 10.
[0082] In some embodiments, the first wind shield 12 is connected to the support 13, and the ventilation hole 137 is located on the support 13. In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 is connected to the support 13, and the ventilation hole 137 is located on the support 13. The first wind shield 12 is closer to the air inlet side 205 of the server 20, so that the first bracket 1 and the cabinet 200 (see Figure 1 ) is shorter, so that the wind blocked by the first wind shield 12 can more easily enter the accommodating space 101 of the server bracket 10 through the ventilation hole 137 of the first slide rail 11, thereby increasing the air volume entering the server 20 to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of the server 20.
[0083] In some other embodiments, the first wind shield 12 is connected to the fixing member 14, and the ventilation hole 137 is located on the support member 13, which is not strictly limited in the present application. In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 is connected to the fixing member 14, and during the movement of the fixing member 14 relative to the support member 13, the fixing member 14 can be prevented from being blocked by components on the support member 13, and the fixing member 14 can move a greater distance relative to the support member 13.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first wind shield 12 is rotatably connected to the first slide rail 11. Exemplarily, one end of the first wind shield 12 is provided with a first avoidance groove 121, a second avoidance groove 122, a first rotation column 123 and a second rotation column 124, and the first rotation column 123 and the second rotation column 124 are arranged opposite to each other. The first rotating portion 135 and the second rotating portion 136 of the support member 13 are respectively installed in the first avoidance groove 121 and the second avoidance groove 122, the first rotation column 123 is installed in the first rotation hole 1351 of the first rotation portion 135, and the second rotation column 124 is installed in the second rotation hole 1361 of the second rotation portion 136 (see Fig. 6A ). It is understandable that the second wind shield 22 can be configured with reference to the first wind shield 12 .
[0086] In this embodiment, one end of the first wind shield 12 is rotatably connected to the first slide rail 11, and the other end of the first wind shield 12 is used to abut the cabinet 200. The angle between the first wind shield 12 and the first slide rail 11 is adjustable so that the first wind shield 12 can be adapted to the cabinet 200 (see Figure 1) and can be installed in various installation environments inside the cabinet 200, while avoiding the wiring, beams and other components inside the cabinet 200, it can still form a good contact with the cabinet 200 to separate the space between the first slide rail 11 and the cabinet 200. In addition, the first wind shield 12 can rotate relative to the first slide rail 11. When the distance between the first slide rail 11 and the cabinet 200 changes, the first wind shield 12 can still be well adapted, which helps to expand the adaptability range of the server bracket 10.
[0087] In some other embodiments, the first rotating column 123 and the second rotating column 124 may also be disposed on the support member 13, the first rotating portion 135 and the second rotating portion 136 may also be disposed on the first wind shield 12, the first rotating portion 135 is provided with a first rotating hole 1351, and the second rotating portion 136 is provided with a second rotating hole 1361. The first rotating column 123 cooperates with the first rotating hole 1351, and the second rotating column 124 cooperates with the second rotating hole 1361, so that the first wind shield 12 and the first slide rail 11 can also be rotatably connected, and this application does not make a strict limitation on this.
[0088] In some embodiments, the first bracket 1 may further include an elastic member 18, one end of the elastic member 18 is connected to the first wind shield 12, and the other end of the elastic member 18 is connected to the first slide rail 11. The elastic member 18 has an elastic force, and the elastic force is used to drive the first wind shield 12 to abut against the cabinet 200. Exemplarily, the first wind shield 12 is also provided with a mounting groove 181, and the mounting groove 181 is located at one end of the first wind shield 12 provided with the first avoidance groove 121. The elastic member 18 can be a torsion spring, and the elastic member 18 is installed in the mounting groove 181 of the first wind shield 12, one end of the elastic member 18 abuts against the first wind shield 12, and the other end of the elastic member 18 hooks the second rotating portion 136 of the support member 13. It can be understood that the elastic member of the second bracket 2 can be set with reference to the elastic member 18 of the first bracket 1, and the present application will not repeat it.
[0089] In this embodiment, when the other end of the first wind shield 12 abuts against the cabinet 200, the first wind shield 12 forms a force on the elastic member 18, and the elastic member 18 generates an elastic force to drive the first wind shield 12 to rotate toward the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, so that the other end of the first wind shield 12 can form a good abutment with the cabinet 200 to improve the sealing between the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200.
[0090] Please refer again Figure 8In some embodiments, the first windshield 12 may include a windshield 120 and a plurality of ribs 127. The windshield may include a first portion 1201 and a second portion 1202. One end of the first portion 1201 is connected to the first slide rail 11, and the second portion 1202 is connected to the other end of the first portion 1201. Some of the ribs 127 are fixed to the first portion 1201, and another portion of the ribs 127 are fixed to the second portion 1202. The density of the ribs 127 fixed to the first portion 1201 is greater than the density of the ribs 127 fixed to the second portion 1202. Exemplarily, the ribs 127 may include a first rib 1271 and a second rib 1272. The first rib 1271 and the second rib 1272 are located on the same side of the windshield. The first rib 1271 extends from the first portion 1201 to the second portion 1202 of the windshield.

The second ribs 1272 are located in the first portion 1201 , and the second ribs 1272 are arranged alternately with the first ribs 1271 and connected to the first ribs 1271 .
[0091] In this embodiment, the structure of the first wind shield 12 is simple, and the structural strength of the first wind shield 12 can be improved by the ribs 127. The density of the ribs 127 of the first part 1201 of the first wind shield 12 is greater than the density of the ribs 127 of the second part 1202, so that the structural strength of the first part 1201 is greater than the structural strength of the second part 1202. The first part 1201 of the first wind shield 12 is rotatably connected to the support member 13, and the second part 1202 of the first wind shield 12 abuts against the cabinet 200 (see Figure 1 ), the structural strength of the first part 1201 is greater than that of the second part 1202. The first part 1201 has a large structural strength and a large hardness, so that the connection between the first part 1201 and the support member 13 is more stable. The second part 1202 has a small structural strength, is softer, and is easy to deform, so that the second part 1202 can adapt to different shapes and different installation environments of the cabinet 200, thereby helping to improve the environmental adaptability of the server rack 10.
[0092] In some other embodiments, the first wind shield 12 may also be configured to have different structural strengths at different locations in other ways. For example, the thickness of the first portion 1201 of the first wind shield 12 may be greater than the thickness of the second portion 1202, so that the structural strength of the first portion 1201 is greater than the structural strength of the second portion 1202. This application does not impose strict limitations on this.

The square hole bar 2002 is located between the first side wall 2004 and the second side wall 2005. The square hole bar 2002 may include a first square hole bar 2002a and a second square hole bar 2002b, the first square hole bar 2002a and the second square hole bar 2002b are arranged opposite to each other, the first square hole bar 2002a is fixed to the first side wall 2004, wherein the first square hole bar 2002a can be welded to the first side wall 2004. The second square hole bar 2002b is fixed to the second side wall 2005, wherein the second square hole bar 2002b can be welded to the second side wall 2005.

Exemplarily, the first slide rail 11 is inserted into the mounting hole 2003 of the first square hole bar 2002a, and a first space 102 is formed between the first slide rail 11 and the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200. One end of the first wind shield 12 is connected to the first slide rail 11, and the other end of the first wind shield 12 abuts against the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200, and the first wind shield 12 partitions the first space 102.
[0096] The second slide rail 21 is fixed to the cabinet 200, a second space 103 is formed between the second slide rail 21 and the cabinet 200, a second wind shield 22 is located in the second space 103, one end of the second wind shield 22 is connected to the second slide rail 21, and the other end of the second wind shield 22 abuts against the cabinet 200. Exemplarily, the second slide rail 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 2003a of the second square hole bar 2002b, and a second space 103 is formed between the second slide rail 21 and the second side wall 2005 of the cabinet 200.

The first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 are used to guide the wind in the first space 102 and the second space 103 to the accommodating space 101 between the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21. The accommodation space 101 between the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 is used to install the server 20 (please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 ).
[0097] In this embodiment, a first wind shield 12 and a second wind shield 22 are provided on the side of the server bracket 10 facing the cabinet 200. When wind enters the first space 102 and the second space 103 from the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 form a blocking effect on the wind entering from the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, and guide the wind in the first space 102 and the second space 103 to the accommodating space 101 on the side where the server 20 is located, thereby helping to increase the lateral air intake of the server node 100, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server node 100.
[0098] In some embodiments, the first slide rail 11 is plugged into the first square hole bar 2002a of the cabinet 200. For example, the protrusion 1383 of the support member 13 is plugged into the mounting hole 2003 of the first square hole bar 2002a. A gap is left between the protrusion 1383 and the first square hole bar 2002a to facilitate air circulation. The first slide rail 11 may also protrude relative to the first square hole bar 2002a. For example, the protrusion 1383 of the support member 13 protrudes relative to the first square hole bar 2002a to support the server 20 (see Figure 1 The first slide rail 11 may further include a blocking member 19 (see Figure 5 ), the blocking member 19 is installed in the first through hole 1381 of the abutting plate 138, and the blocking member 19 is used to abut and fix the server 20.

In some other embodiments, the protrusion 1383 of the support member 13 is flush with the first square hole bar 2002a, and the support member 13 may not be provided with the blocking member 19, which is not strictly limited in the present application.
[0099] The second slide rail 21 is plugged into the second square hole bar 2002b of the cabinet 200. It is understandable that the second slide rail 21 is set with reference to the first slide rail 11, and the way the second slide rail 21 is fixed to the cabinet 200 can refer to the way the first slide rail 11 is fixed to the cabinet 200.
[0100] Please refer to Fig.11 and Fig.12 , Fig.12 is a schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of the computing device 1000 provided in some embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that: Fig.12 The positional relationship of some structures of the computing device 1000 is only schematically described, and the connection position, specific structure and quantity of each device are not specifically limited. Fig.12 The structure shown does not constitute a specific limitation on the computing device 1000. In other embodiments, the computing device 1000 may include Fig.11 and Fig.12 More or fewer components may be shown. Fig.13 , Fig.14 , Fig.17 We have a similar understanding and will not elaborate on it later.
[0101] In some embodiments, the wind outside the cabinet 200 can pass through the installation holes 2003 of the square hole bar 2002 and the gap between the server rack 10 and the square hole bar 2002 from the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, and enter the first space 102 and the second space 103 between the server rack 10 and the cabinet 200. The first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 form a blocking effect on the wind, and the wind can pass through the ventilation holes 137 of the first slide rail 11 and the ventilation holes 137a of the second slide rail 21 (see Figure 4 ), passes over the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21, and enters the accommodating space 101 between the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21, so that the first wind shielding member 12 and the second wind shielding member 22 can guide the wind. Fig.12 The solid arrows in the middle are used to indicate the general direction of the wind. The solid arrows in other figures are also used to indicate the general direction of the wind, which will not be described in detail below.
[0102] In some embodiments, the first windshield 12 may include a first portion 125 and a second portion 126, wherein the first portion 125 is a hard member, one end of the first portion 125 is connected to the first slide rail 11, and the second portion 126 is connected to the other end of the first portion 125, and the hardness of the second portion 126 of the first windshield 12 is less than the hardness of the first portion 125. Exemplarily, the material of the first portion 125 may be a hard plastic (e.g., phenolic plastic, polyurethane plastic, epoxy plastic, unsaturated polyester plastic, acrylic resin, etc.) or a metal (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.), and the material of the second portion 126 may be a soft plastic such as silicone or rubber. It is understood that the second windshield 22 may be set with reference to the first windshield 12. It should be noted that the first portion 125 and the second portion 126 are only examples, and only illustrate the approximate positions of the first portion 125 and the second portion 126 of the first windshield 12, and do not represent the specific forms of the actual first portion 125 and the second portion 126.
[0103] In this embodiment, since the first portion 125 of the first wind shield 12 is rotatably connected to the first slide rail 11, the second portion 126 of the first wind shield 12 abuts against the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200, and the hardness of the first portion 125 is greater than the hardness of the second portion 126, the connection between the first portion 125 and the support member 13 is more stable, and the second portion 126 is softer and easier to deform, so that the second portion 126 can adapt to different shapes and different installation environments of the cabinet 200, thereby helping to improve the environmental adaptability of the server rack 10. In addition, the second portion 126 has a lower hardness and is easier to form a good contact with the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200, which helps to improve the sealing between the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200, thereby improving the wind blocking ability of the first wind shield 12.
[0104] In some other embodiments, the first wind shield 12 can also be a structural member formed by soft plastic covering hard plastic or metal. The hardness of the first wind shield 12 at one end close to the first slide rail 11 is greater, and the hardness of the first wind shield 12 at one end close to the cabinet 200 is smaller. While the first wind shield 12 forms a stable connection with the support member 13, it can still maintain good sealing with the cabinet 200. This application does not make strict limitations on this.
[0105] In some embodiments, a brush structure 128 is provided at one end of the first windshield 12 for abutting against the cabinet 200, and the material of the brush structure 128 can be soft plastic such as silicone or rubber. In this embodiment, a brush structure 128 is provided at one end of the first windshield 12 for abutting against the cabinet 200, and the brush structure 128 can form a good contact with the cabinet 200, so that the first windshield 12 can achieve contact sealing for cabinets 200 of different shapes, that is, it helps to improve the sealing between the first windshield 12 and the cabinet 200, and the first windshield 12 has better environmental adaptability.
[0106] In some other embodiments, the end of the first wind shield 12 connected to the first slide rail 11 may or may not be provided with a brush structure 128, and the present application does not impose a strict limitation on this.

The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the connection method between the first windshield member 12 and the first slide rail 11, and the connection method between the second windshield member 22 and the second slide rail 21.
[0108] In some embodiments, the first windshield 12 is fixedly connected to the first slide rail 11, and an angle is formed between the first windshield 12 and the first slide rail 11. The angle between the first windshield 12 and the first slide rail 11 can be an acute angle, a right angle, or an obtuse angle. Exemplarily, the angle between the first windshield 12 and the first slide rail 11 is an acute angle. It is understood that the second windshield 22 can be set with reference to the first windshield 12.
[0109] In this embodiment, one end of the first wind shield 12 is fixedly connected to the first slide rail 11, so that the connection between the first wind shield 12 and the first slide rail 11 is more stable, which is conducive to improving the reliability of the server bracket 10. In addition, the angle between the first wind shield 12 and the first slide rail 11 is an acute angle, and the other end of the first wind shield 12 forms a good abutment with the cabinet 200, while the first wind shield 12 can also improve the blocking effect of the wind entering from the cabinet 200. The cabinet 200 forms a reverse force on the first wind shield 12, which can prevent the first wind shield 12 from being blown away by the wind, and the abutment between the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200 is more reliable.
[0110] See also Fig.14 , Fig.14 1 is a schematic diagram of a portion of the structure of the computing device 1000 provided by the embodiment of the present application in other embodiments. This embodiment may include most of the technical features of the previous embodiment. The following mainly describes the difference between the two, and most of the same contents between the two are not repeated. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment mainly lies in the different structures of the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22.
[0111] In some embodiments, the first windshield 12 is a flexible member. The first windshield 12 can be rotatably connected to the first slide rail 11 or fixedly connected to the first slide rail 11. The first windshield 12 can be made of soft plastic such as silicone, rubber, etc. Exemplarily, the first windshield 12 can be a rubber sleeve, a rubber block, a silicone sleeve or a silicone block. It is understood that the second windshield 22 can be set with reference to the first windshield 12.
[0112] In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 is a flexible member, which is softer and easier to deform, so that the first wind shield 12 can adapt to different shapes and different installation environments of the cabinet 200, thereby helping to improve the environmental adaptability of the server rack 10. In addition, the first wind shield 12 has a lower hardness and is easier to form a good contact with the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200, which helps to improve the sealing between the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200, thereby improving the wind blocking ability of the first wind shield 12.
[0113] In some embodiments, the first wind shield 12 may include a flexible sleeve 129 and a spring 130, wherein the spring 130 is installed inside the flexible sleeve 129, and one end of the spring 130 that faces away from the cabinet 200 is fixedly connected to the first slide rail 11. In this embodiment, the spring 130 is installed inside the flexible sleeve 129, and the elastic force of the spring 130 can enhance the abutment between the flexible sleeve 129 and the cabinet 200, so that the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200 form a good contact, which helps to improve the sealing between the first wind shield 12 and the cabinet 200, thereby improving the wind blocking ability of the first wind shield 12.
[0114] Please refer to Fig.15 and Fig.16 , Fig.15 yes Figure 1 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the computing device 1000 is shown along AA. Fig.16 yes Fig.15 A partial enlarged view of part C. Fig.16 For the sake of simplicity in the schematic diagram, the internal components of the server 20 are omitted.
[0115] In some embodiments, the server node 100 is installed in the cabinet 200. The server 20 is installed in the accommodating space 101 of the server bracket 10, the server bracket 10 is fixed to the cabinet 200, and the server 20 is installed in the cabinet 200 through the server bracket 10. The first wind shield 12 of the server bracket 10 is located between the first side plate 2013 and the first side wall 2004 of the cabinet 200, and the second wind shield 22 is located between the second side plate 2014 and the second side wall 2005 of the cabinet 200. The server 20 may further include a hanging ear 207, and the hanging ear 207 of the server 20 is spaced apart from the square hole bar 2002 so that air can circulate between the hanging ear 207 of the server 20 and the square hole bar 2002. Exemplarily, the hanging ear 207 may include a first hanging ear 2071 and a second hanging ear 2072, and the first hanging ear 2071 and the second hanging ear 2072 are arranged opposite to each other. The first hanging ear 2071 is spaced apart from the first square hole bar 2002a, and the second hanging ear 2072 is spaced apart from the second square hole bar 2002b. Exemplarily, the first hanging ear 2071 can be formed by bending the first side plate 2013 toward the side away from the second side plate 2014, and the second hanging ear 2072 can be formed by bending the second side plate 2014 toward the side away from the first side plate 2013. The first hanging ear 2071 can be fixed to the first square hole bar 2002a and the support member 13 of the first slide rail 11 by fasteners such as screws or studs. The second hanging ear 2072 can be fixed to the second square hole bar 2002b and the support member 13 of the second slide rail 21 by fasteners such as screws or studs.
[0116] Compared with the prior art, in which the server's mounting ears are directly installed against the square hole bars of the cabinet, in the present embodiment, the mounting ears 207 of the server 20 are spaced apart from the square hole bars 2002, and the air between the mounting ears 207 of the server 20 and the square hole bars 2002 can circulate, that is, the first mounting ears 2071 and the second mounting ears 2072 of the server 20 are spaced apart from the first square hole bars 2002a and the second square hole bars 2002b of the cabinet 200, respectively. The wind on the air inlet side of the cabinet 200 can enter the first space 102 through the gap between the first mounting ears 2071 and the first square hole bars 2002a, and can enter the second space 103 through the gap between the second mounting ears 2072 and the second square hole bars 2002b, thereby improving the ventilation performance on both sides of the server node 100 and helping to increase the lateral air intake of the server node 100. With the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 of the server bracket 10 blocking the wind on both sides of the server node 100 , it is confirmed through simulation that the total air intake volume of the server 20 is increased by about 20%, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the server 20 .
[0117] Among them, the server 20 can also include a first hanging ear accessory and a second hanging ear accessory, the first hanging ear accessory is fixed to the first hanging ear 2071, and the second hanging ear accessory is fixed to the second hanging ear 2072. The first hanging ear accessory and the second hanging ear accessory can be used to install indicator lights, various interfaces, etc.
[0118] In some embodiments, the first slide rail 11 is inserted into the first square hole bar 2002a and protrudes relative to the first square hole bar 2002a, and the first slide rail 11 abuts against the first hanging ear 2071. Exemplarily, the protrusion 1383 of the first slide rail 11 is inserted into the first square hole bar 2002a and protrudes relative to the first square hole bar 2002a, and the protrusion 1383 abuts against the first hanging ear 2071, so that the first hanging ear 2071 is spaced apart from the first square hole bar 2002a of the cabinet 200. In addition, the blocking member 19 of the first slide rail 11 passes through the mounting hole 2003 of the first square hole bar 2002a and abuts against the first hanging ear 2071, forming a double abutment on the first hanging ear 2071, so that a gap is formed between the first hanging ear 2071 and the first square hole bar 2002a. Fasteners such as screws or studs pass through the first hanging ear 2071 and the blocking member 19 and are fixed to the first fixing plate 139 of the first hanging ear 2071, thereby fixing the first hanging ear 2071, the first square hole bar 2002a and the first slide rail 11 together.
[0119] The second slide rail 21 is inserted into the second square hole bar 2002b and protrudes relative to the second square hole bar 2002b, and the second slide rail 21 abuts against the second hanging ear 2072. It should be noted that the second slide rail 21 can be inserted into the second square hole bar 2002b with reference to the first slide rail 11 inserted into the first square hole bar 2002a. Exemplarily, the protrusion of the second slide rail 21 is inserted into the second square hole bar 2002b and protrudes relative to the second square hole bar 2002b, and the protrusion abuts against the second hanging ear 2072, so that the second hanging ear 2072 is spaced apart from the second square hole bar 2002b of the cabinet 200. In addition, the blocking member of the second slide rail 21 passes through the mounting hole of the second square hole bar 2002b and abuts against the second hanging ear 2072, forming a double abutment on the second hanging ear 2072, so that a gap is formed between the second hanging ear 2072 and the second square hole bar 2002b. Fasteners such as screws or studs pass through the second hanging ear 2072 and the blocking member and are fixed to the second fixing plate of the second hanging ear 2072, thereby fixing the second hanging ear 2072, the second square hole bar 2002b and the second slide rail 21 together.
[0120] In this embodiment, the protrusion 1383 of the first slide rail 11 abuts against the first hanging ear 2071 so that the first hanging ear 2071 and the first square hole bar 2002a are spaced apart, and the protrusion of the second slide rail 21 abuts against the second hanging ear 2072 so that the second hanging ear 2072 and the second square hole bar 2002b are spaced apart. This not only facilitates the circulation of air in the gap between the server 20 and the cabinet 200, but also the protrusion 1383 can play a role in limiting and positioning, so that the server 20 can be quickly installed on the server bracket 10 and a certain distance is reserved between the server 20 and the square hole bar 2002, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the computing device 1000.
[0121] In some other embodiments, the first slide rail 11 may not abut against the first hanging ear 2071, and the second slide rail 21 may not abut against the second hanging ear 2072. The first hanging ear 2071 and the second hanging ear 2072 of the server 20 are spaced apart from the first square hole bar 2002a and the second square hole bar 2002b respectively through other structures, and the present application does not make strict limitations on this.
[0122] See also Fig.17 , Fig.17 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of the computing device 1000 provided in some embodiments of the present application.
[0123] In some embodiments, the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 are located on a side of the server rack 10 close to the fan assembly 203 of the server 20. The term "close" means that the first wind shield 12 is closer to the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 than the air outlet side 206 of the server 20. Exemplarily, the first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014 of the server 20 are both provided with lateral air inlet holes 2015 (see Figure 2 ), the lateral air inlet 2015 is located at one end of the first side plate 2013 and the second side plate 2014 close to the air inlet side 205 of the server 20. The first air shield 12 and the second air shield 22 are located at one end of the server bracket 10 close to the lateral air inlet 2015. When the fan assembly 203 (see Figure 3 ) is running, cold air can be driven into the interior of the cabinet 200 from the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, part of the cold air enters the inner side of the server 20 from the side of the server 20 installed on the hard disk assembly 202, and another part of the cold air can enter the inner side of the server 20 from the first space 102 and the second space 103 between the server 20 and the cabinet 200.
[0124] In this embodiment, when the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 are located on the side of the server bracket 10 close to the fan assembly 203 of the server 20, the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 are closer to the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, which can improve the interception effect of the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 on the cold air entering from the air inlet side 2001 of the cabinet 200, and the cold air is intercepted to the maximum extent at one end of the fan assembly 203 close to the server 20, so as to reduce the wind resistance of the cold air entering the server 20 from the first space 102 and the second space 103, and increase the air volume entering the server 20 from the first space 102 and the second space 103, thereby helping to improve the heat dissipation effect of the server node 100. With the gap between the hanging ear 207 of the server 20 and the square hole bar 2002 of the cabinet 200, it is confirmed through simulation that the heat dissipation efficiency of the server 20 in the embodiment of the present application can be improved by about 20%.
[0125] In some embodiments, the wind entering the server 20 from the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 absorbs the heat of the hard disk assembly 202, the motherboard assembly 204 and other heat-generating components, and the temperature rises to become warm air ( Fig.17 The warm air is discharged from the air outlet side 206 of the server 20 to the outside of the server 20. The warm air is easily returned from the first space 102 and the second space 103 between the server 20 and the cabinet 200 to the air inlet side 205 and the lateral air inlet hole 2015 of the server 20 (see Figure 3 ), which increases the air temperature at the air inlet side of the server 20. When the high temperature wind enters the inside of the server 20, the heat dissipation effect on the components inside the server 20 is poor, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the server 20.
[0126] In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 separates the first space 102, and the second wind shield 22 separates the second space 103, so that the warm air discharged from the air outlet side of the server 20 is not easy to flow back to the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 through the first space 102 and the second space 103, thereby ensuring that the air entering the server 20 from the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 is cold air with a lower temperature, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server 20.
[0127] Please refer to Figure 4 and Fig.17 In some embodiments, the height of the first wind shield 12 is greater than the height of the first slide rail 11. The height of the second wind shield 22 is greater than the height of the second slide rail 21. In this embodiment, the height of the first wind shield 12 is greater than the height of the first slide rail 11, and the height of the second wind shield 22 is greater than the height of the second slide rail 21. On the one hand, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 have a smaller blocking effect on wind, so as to reduce wind resistance and help the wind in the first space 102 and the second space 103 pass through the lateral air inlet 2015 of the server 20 (see Figure 2 ) enters the inner side of the server 20. On the other hand, the height of the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 is relatively small, which not only meets the supporting function of the server 20, but also contributes to the miniaturization of the server rack 10, so as to reduce the weight of the server rack 10 and the total cost of the server rack 10.
[0128] Please refer to Figure 2 , Fig.18A and Fig.18B , Fig.18A is a schematic diagram of the structure of the server node 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application, Fig.18B is a schematic diagram of the structure of the server node 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application in other embodiments. It should be noted that: Fig.18A and Fig.18B This is a view seen from the air inlet side of the server 20 to the air outlet side of the server 20 .
[0129] In some embodiments, the height of the first wind shield 12 and the height of the second wind shield 22 may be approximately equal to the height of the server 20. Exemplarily, the height of the first wind shield 12 and the height of the second wind shield 22 may be less than, equal to, or greater than the height of the server 20. In this embodiment, the height of the first wind shield 12 and the height of the second wind shield 22 are approximately equal to the height of the server 20, and the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 can form an effective barrier to prevent the cold air on the air inlet side 205 of the server 20 from directly flowing to the air outlet side 206 of the server 20, which is conducive to increasing the air volume at the lateral air inlet hole 2015 of the server 20 and reducing wind resistance. The cold air is more likely to enter the inner side of the server 20 from the lateral air inlet hole 2015 of the server 20, thereby helping to increase the lateral air intake volume of the server 20 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the server 20.
[0130] In some embodiments, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 can be suitable for servers 20 of different specifications. The first wind shield 12 is detachably connected to the first slide rail 11, and the second wind shield 22 is detachably connected to the second slide rail 21. The first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 can be replaced according to the height adaptability of the server 20. Exemplarily, when the server 20 is a 2U server, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 can be respectively installed with the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 of a height of 2U to adapt to the server 20. When the server 20 is a 1U server, the first slide rail 11 and the second slide rail 21 can be respectively installed with the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 of a height of 1U to adapt to the server 20. Among them, U is the abbreviation of unit, which is a unit representing the external dimensions of a modular rack, and 1U is 4.445 cm.
[0131] In this embodiment, the first wind shield 12 and the second wind shield 22 on the server bracket 10 are simple to set up, low in cost, easy to disassemble and install, and easy to adapt to servers 20 of different specifications, which is conducive to expanding the applicability of the service bracket.
[0132] In some other embodiments, the heights of the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22 may also be fixed sizes, the first windshield 12 is fixedly connected to the first slide rail 11, and the second windshield 22 is fixedly connected to the second slide rail 21. For example, the heights of the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22 on the server rack 10 may both be 3U, and the server rack 10 may be used to install a 2U server, a 3U server, a 4U server, or a 5U server. Alternatively, the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22 with a height of 3U may be adapted to three 1U servers stacked and installed in the cabinet 200, wherein the server node at the bottom layer is provided with the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22, and the two server nodes at the upper layer are not provided with the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22. Alternatively, the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22 with a height of 3U can be adapted to a 1U server and a 2U server stacked and installed in the cabinet 200, wherein the server nodes located at the bottom layer are provided with the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22, and the server nodes at the upper layer are not provided with the first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22. The first windshield 12 and the second windshield 22 can also be of other specifications, which are not strictly limited by the subject of this application.

Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments may still be modified, or some of the technical features may be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
