Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a server and a cabinet. Background Art

[0002] The server generates a large amount of heat during operation. In order to ensure stable operation of the server, the server needs to be cooled. When the server dissipates heat through its own internal fan, the air temperature flowing out of the server through the air outlet is relatively high. The high-temperature air easily flows back to the air inlet, causing the air temperature at the air inlet to increase. When the air outside the air inlet is used to dissipate heat from the internal components of the server, the cooling effect is poor. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides a server and a cabinet with good heat dissipation effect.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present application provides a server, which is used to be placed in a cabinet, and the server includes a chassis, a hard disk module, a fan assembly and a partition, the chassis includes an air inlet and an air outlet arranged opposite to each other along a first direction; the hard disk module is located in the chassis and is arranged close to the air inlet; the fan assembly is located in the chassis and is located on the side of the hard disk module close to the air outlet along the first direction, the fan assembly can drive air outside the chassis to enter the chassis from the air inlet to dissipate heat inside the chassis, and flow out from the air outlet to the outside of the chassis; the partition is located between the air inlet and the air outlet along the first direction, and the partition is connected between the outside of the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet, and the partition intersects with the first direction.

[0005] By setting up partitions, on the one hand, the partitions can block the hot air with higher temperature flowing out of the air outlet to the outside of the chassis from flowing back to the air inlet, ensuring that the air entering the chassis from the air inlet is cold air with lower temperature, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server and ensuring stable operation of the server. At the same time, the partitions are simple to set up, low in cost and widely applicable. On the other hand, since the hard disk module is set close to the air inlet, the hard disk module will hinder the cold air outside the chassis from entering the chassis from the air inlet. The setting of the partitions prevents the cold air outside the chassis from flowing from the air inlet to the air outlet along the gap between the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet, thereby retaining the cold air in the air inlet to the maximum extent, and better guiding the cold air from the air inlet into the chassis to dissipate heat for the internal components of the chassis.

[0006] In one possible implementation, one side of the partition is fixedly connected to the outer side of the chassis, and the other side of the partition overlaps the inner wall of the cabinet. In one possible implementation, one side of the partition is overlapped to the outer side of the chassis, and the other side of the partition is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0007] In a possible implementation, the length of the partition is greater than or equal to the width of the gap between the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0008] In one possible implementation, in the third direction, the height of the partition is greater than or equal to the height of the chassis, the third direction intersects with the first direction, and the height of the partition is greater than or equal to the height of the chassis so that the partition can effectively block the air outside the chassis from flowing from the air outlet to the air inlet.

[0009] In a possible implementation, a server includes one or more partitions.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the chassis is provided with a side air inlet, and in the first direction, the side air inlet is located between the hard disk module and the fan assembly, and the partition is located between the side air inlet and the air outlet.

[0011] By setting the side air inlet, on the one hand, the air intake space of the server is greatly increased. When the fan assembly is running, the air outside the chassis can enter the chassis through the side air inlet and the air inlet at the same time, which can effectively replenish cold air to the server, increase the air intake volume of the server, and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the server; on the other hand, the side air inlet is set on the side of the hard disk module close to the air outlet along the first direction. The cold air entering the chassis from the side air inlet does not need to pass through the hard disk module first, and directly dissipates the heat to the electronic components on the mainboard behind the hard disk module, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on other electronic components and ensuring the heat dissipation effect on the hard disk module and other electronic components; on the other hand, the distance between the hard disk module and the fan assembly is large and there are no other large devices. Setting the side air inlet between the hard disk module and the fan assembly can increase the air intake volume of the side air inlet.

[0012] In this application, the fan assembly is located between the hard disk module and the motherboard. By setting a partition between the side air inlet and the air outlet, while increasing the amount of cold air intake, it can also reduce the backflow of hot air and improve the heat dissipation effect of the server.

[0013] In one possible implementation, a first side surface of the chassis along a second direction is spaced apart from an inner wall of the cabinet, the second direction being the width of the chassis and the first direction being the length of the chassis. A side air inlet is provided on the first side surface, and the partition is located between the first side surface and the inner wall of the cabinet. In the first direction, the partition is located between the side air inlet and the air outlet. The partition can prevent air flowing out of the chassis from flowing back through the gap between the first side surface and the inner wall of the cabinet to the side air inlet and the air inlet, thereby improving the heat dissipation of the server.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the chassis includes a first side and a second side along the second direction, the second side is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cabinet, the second side is provided with a side air inlet, and the partition is provided between the second side and the inner wall of the cabinet. In the first direction, the partition is located between the side air inlet and the air outlet, and the partition can block the air flowing out of the air outlet to the outside of the chassis from flowing back to the side air inlet and the air inlet along the gap between the second side and the inner wall of the cabinet, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the chassis is provided with a third side surface along a third direction. When the third side surface is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cabinet, a side air inlet may also be provided on the third side surface, and a partition is provided between the third side surface and the inner wall of the cabinet to block the backflow of air at the air outlet.

[0016] In one possible implementation, one side of the partition is rotatably connected to the outside of the chassis, and the partition can be opened or closed relative to the outside of the chassis; when the partition is open, the other side of the partition is used to connect to the inner wall of the cabinet; when the partition is closed, the partition fits the chassis. During use of the server, the partition is opened to block the backflow of hot air and improve the heat dissipation effect of the server. At this time, the other side of the partition can be overlapped with the inner wall of the cabinet or connected by a fixing device such as a buckle; when the server needs to be moved or removed from the cabinet for maintenance, the partition can be closed and fit the outside of the chassis to facilitate transportation and removal of the server. By setting a rotatable connection between the partition and the chassis, not only can the front and rear airflow be isolated, but also the requirements for easy installation and removal of the server on the cabinet and the requirement for easy transportation of the server can be met.

[0017] In one possible implementation, one side of the partition is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet, and the partition can be opened or closed relative to the inner wall of the cabinet; when the partition is open, the other side of the partition is used to connect to the outside of the chassis; when the partition is closed, the partition is in contact with the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0018] In a possible implementation, a groove recessed toward the inside of the chassis is provided on the outside of the chassis. When the partition is closed, the partition is located in the groove, thereby reducing the overall size of the partition and the chassis.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the server also includes a retaining spring, which is installed between the partition and the outside of the chassis, and is used to open the partition and prevent the partition from closing due to rotation. At this time, the other side of the partition can overlap with the inner wall of the cabinet. The setting of the retaining spring can ensure that the partition is in an open state to achieve the purpose of blocking hot air backflow. When the partition needs to be closed, the other side of the partition can be fixed to the outside of the chassis by means of clips, screws, etc.

[0020] In one possible implementation, in the first direction, the other side of the partition is positioned closer to the air outlet than the first side of the partition. When the partition is open, it tilts toward the rear of the chassis, forming an acute angle with the portion of the chassis near the air outlet. This makes it difficult for the partition to be blown open by hot air recirculation. Furthermore, when removing the server from the cabinet, the server can be directly dragged out along the first direction, facilitating removal.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the partition includes a first sub-board and a second sub-board that are rotatably connected, the first sub-board is fixed to the outside of the chassis, and the second sub-board can be opened or closed relative to the first sub-board; when the second sub-board is opened, the side of the second sub-board away from the first sub-board is used to connect to the inner wall of the cabinet, and the second sub-board intersects with the first direction; when the second sub-board is closed, the second sub-board is in contact with the first sub-board.

[0022] By dividing the partition into two sub-boards, on the one hand, when the server needs to block the hot air backflow, the first sub-board can be installed to the outside of the chassis at any time, and the partition can be removed when not needed, making it more convenient to use the partition; on the other hand, when the server is installed in cabinets of different specifications, the installation environment of the server changes. At this time, the partition can be replaced to adapt the partition to the new installation environment, so that the partition can adapt to various installation environments.

[0023] In one possible implementation, when the second sub-panel is opened, the openings of the second sub-panel and the first sub-panel are arranged toward the air outlet, and the second sub-panel is overlapped with the inner wall of the cabinet. The second sub-panel is not easily blown open when hot air reflows. At the same time, when the server is taken out of the cabinet, the server can be directly dragged out along the first direction, which facilitates the disassembly of the server.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the partition also includes a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet is fixed to the first sub-plate, and the second magnet is fixed to the second sub-plate; when the magnetic poles of the ends of the first magnet and the second magnet that are close to each other are different or one of the first magnet and the second magnet loses its magnetism, the first magnet is adsorbed on the second magnet to close the second sub-plate; when the magnetic poles of the ends of the first magnet and the second magnet that are close to each other are the same, the first magnet is separated from the second magnet to open the second sub-plate.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the first magnet is a charged magnet and the second magnet is a permanent magnet. When the first magnet is powered off, it attracts the second magnet, closing the second sub-panel. When the first magnet is powered on, the first and second magnets separate, opening the second sub-panel. By configuring the first and second magnets, the opening and closing of the partition is more intelligent, eliminating the need for manual operation.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the partition also includes a rotating shaft, and one side of the first sub-plate and one side of the second sub-plate are rotatably connected through the rotating shaft. The first magnet is located at an end of the first sub-plate away from the rotating shaft and on a side of the first sub-plate close to the second sub-plate, and the second magnet is located at an end of the second sub-plate away from the rotating shaft and on a side of the second sub-plate close to the first sub-plate.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the partition includes a first sub-board and a second sub-board connected to each other, the hardness of the first sub-board is greater than the hardness of the second sub-board, the side of the first sub-board away from the second sub-board is used to connect to the inner wall of the cabinet, and the side of the second sub-board away from the first sub-board is connected to the outside of the chassis.

[0028] The second sub-panel is made of a relatively soft material. It bends or deforms when the server is installed or removed, allowing for smooth installation and removal. When the server is installed in the cabinet, the first and second sub-panels work together to prevent hot air from flowing back from the air outlet to the air inlet. The first sub-panel's greater rigidity allows it to withstand strong winds without being blown away, ensuring the proper function of the partition.

[0029] In a possible implementation, one side of the first sub-board is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet, the other side of the first sub-board is fixedly connected to one side of the second sub-board, and the other side of the second sub-board is overlapped on the outside of the chassis.

[0030] In a possible implementation, one side of the first sub-board is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet, one side of the second sub-board is fixed to the outside of the chassis, and the other side of the first sub-board is overlapped with the other side of the second sub-board.

[0031] In a possible implementation, the first sub-plate may be a metal plate, a plastic plate, or other materials with relatively high hardness; the second sub-plate may be a sheet of sponge, a sheet of brush, rubber, or other softer materials.

[0032] In one possible implementation, in the second direction, the length of the first sub-board is less than the distance between the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction; and the partition is located on one side of the chassis along the second direction. The length of the first sub-board is less than the distance between the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet, so that when the chassis is installed into or removed from the cabinet along the first direction, the first sub-board does not contact the outer side of the chassis, does not scratch the outer side of the chassis, and does not hinder installation or removal of the chassis.

[0033] In a possible implementation, the length of the second sub-board is greater than the minimum distance between the chassis and the cabinet, and the minimum distance between the first sub-board and the chassis is greater than the minimum distance between the chassis and the cabinet.

[0034] In one possible implementation, the cabinet is further provided with a retaining bar positioned between the cabinet and the chassis to secure the chassis. In this case, the minimum distance between the chassis and the cabinet may be the distance between the retaining bar and the outside of the chassis. The length of the second daughter board is greater than the minimum distance between the chassis and the cabinet, allowing the second daughter board to remain in contact with the outside of the chassis after the chassis is installed in the cabinet, thereby preventing hot air from flowing back.

[0035] In a possible implementation, in the second direction, the length of the first sub-board is smaller than the maximum distance between the square hole bar and the inner wall of the cabinet, so as to ensure smooth installation and removal of the chassis.

[0036] In a second aspect, the present application provides a cabinet, in which a server as described in any one of the above items is placed, the partition is located between the chassis and the cabinet, and the partition is connected to the outer side of the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0037] In the present application, by setting up a partition, on the one hand, the partition can block the hot air with higher temperature flowing out from the air outlet to the outside of the chassis from flowing back to the air inlet, ensuring that the air entering the chassis from the air inlet is cold air with lower temperature, improving the heat dissipation effect of the server, and ensuring the stable operation of the server. At the same time, the partition is simple to set up, low in cost, and widely applicable; on the other hand, the setting of the partition prevents the cold air outside the chassis from flowing from the air inlet to the air outlet along the gap between the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet, retaining the cold air in the air inlet to the maximum extent, and better guiding the cold air from the air inlet into the chassis to dissipate heat for the internal components of the chassis.

[0056] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0057] As used herein, the terms "first," "second," and the like are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature specified as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0058] In addition, in this article, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" are defined relative to the orientation of the structure schematically placed in the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts. They are used for relative description and clarification, and they can change accordingly according to changes in the orientation of the structure.

[0059] For ease of understanding, the English abbreviations and related technical terms involved in the embodiments of this application are explained and described below.

[0060] Server: A high-performance computer that provides storage, data processing, and other services on the network. It has high-speed CPU (Central Processing Unit) computing power, long-term reliable operation, strong I / O (Input / Output) external data throughput, and good scalability.

[0061] Memory stick: Random-Access Memory, also known as random access memory.

[0062] Magnet: refers to a substance or material that can generate a magnetic field. Magnets have two polarities, namely a magnetic north pole N and a magnetic south pole S. The same poles of different magnets repel each other, and the same poles of different magnets attract each other. For example, the magnetic north pole N of the first magnet and the magnetic north pole N of the second magnet repel each other, and the magnetic north pole N of the first magnet and the magnetic south pole S of the second magnet attract each other.

[0063] The present application provides a server, which is used to be placed in a cabinet, and the server includes a chassis, a hard disk module, a fan assembly and a partition. The chassis includes an air inlet and an air outlet arranged relatively along a first direction; the hard disk module is located in the chassis and is arranged close to the air inlet; the fan module is located in the chassis and is located on the side of the hard disk module close to the air outlet along the first direction, and the fan assembly can drive the air outside the chassis to enter the chassis from the air inlet to dissipate heat inside the chassis, and flow out from the air outlet to the outside of the chassis; the partition is located between the air inlet and the air outlet along the first direction, and the partition is connected between the outer side of the chassis and the inner wall of the cabinet, and the partition intersects with the first direction. In the present application, through the setting of the partition, the partition can block the hot air flowing from the air outlet outside the chassis to the air inlet, ensuring that the air entering the chassis from the air inlet is cold air with a lower temperature, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server.

[0064] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a cabinet 11 and server 10 provided in one embodiment of the present application. Cabinet 11 has internal storage space for server 10 and related control equipment. It also provides protection for server 10 against water, dust, and electromagnetic interference, ensuring that server 10 operates in a favorable environment. Cabinet 11 also has an opening for installing and removing server 10. Server 10 is a high-performance computer that provides various services such as storage and data processing on a network. In this embodiment, server 10 is a rack-mounted server. In other embodiments, server 10 can also be other types of servers, such as blade servers, and this application does not limit this.

[0065] The server 10 may include multiple server nodes. Take one of the server nodes as an example. Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 2 Schematic diagram (1) of the cabinet 11 and the server 10 provided in the first embodiment of the present application, Figure 3Schematic diagram (1) of a server 10 according to the first embodiment of the present application. Server 10 includes a chassis 100 and a hard disk module 200, a fan assembly 300, a motherboard 500, and other electronic components located within chassis 100. Chassis 100 is a strong housing structure that protects the internal components of server 10. Hard disk module 200 has excellent scalability and can provide effective storage resources for server 10. Hard disk module 200 can include one, two, or more hard disks, which can be solid-state drives, mechanical hard disks, or other types of hard disks. Motherboard 500 is a key component of the circuit system of server 10 and can carry electronic components such as the CPU, chips, memory modules, and input / output ports. The number of each electronic component can be one, two, or more, and there is no strict limit on this. The power supply module can receive power from a power source external to server 10 and supply power to various electrical components within server 10, thereby implementing the overall power supply architecture of server 10 and ensuring the long-term and efficient operation of server 10.

[0066] The fan assembly 300 may include one, two, or more fans, which may be bladed or bladeless. During operation of the server 10, heat is generated by heat-generating components such as the hard disk module 200, CPU, and memory modules. The fan assembly 300 dissipates heat from the heat-generating components within the server 10, dissipating a large amount of heat from the server 10 in a timely manner and ensuring stable operation of the server 10.

[0067] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the fan assembly 300 is located between the hard disk module 200 and the motherboard 500. The hard disk module 200 is disposed at the front end of the server 10. The front end is the portion facing the staff when the staff is repairing and inspecting the server 10, that is, the end of the server 10 facing the opening of the cabinet 11. Placing the hard disk module 200 at the front end of the chassis 100 allows for quick and easy disassembly and assembly of the hard disk module 200 for maintenance. The motherboard 500 can be generally disposed in the middle and rear portions of the server 10, providing a wide range of board area to support and carry a variety of electronic components. The fan assembly 300 is located between the hard disk module 200 and the motherboard 500 to achieve the performance characteristics of being able to take into account the heat dissipation of both the electronic components on the motherboard 500 and the hard disk module 200, ensuring the heat dissipation of the server 10 within a limited structural space and ensuring that the internal components of the server 10 can operate stably and with high performance.

[0068] The fan assembly 300 blows air backward (e.g. Figure 2As shown), cold air can enter the chassis 100 from the front end of the server 10, first pass through the hard disk module 200 to dissipate heat for the hard disk module 200, and then the fan assembly 300 blows the air toward the motherboard 500 located behind the fan assembly 300 to dissipate heat for the electronic components on the motherboard 500.

[0069] In other embodiments, the fan assembly 300 may also be located at an end of the motherboard 500 away from the hard disk module 200 (eg Figure 4 As shown, the fan assembly 300 is located at the rear end of the server 10. The fan assembly 300 draws air backward, dissipating heat from the hard disk module 200 and the electronic components on the motherboard 500. In one embodiment, the fan assembly 300 can also draw air forward or blow air from the rear end of the server 10 to the front end of the server 10.

[0070] It should be noted that Figure 2 and Figure 3 The positional relationship of the chassis 100, hard disk module 200, fan assembly 300, mainboard 500, etc. is only schematically described, and the connection position, specific structure and quantity of each device are not specifically limited. The structure illustrated in this application does not constitute a specific limitation on the server 10. In other embodiments, the server 10 may include Figure 2 and Figure 3 More or fewer components may be shown, or some components may be combined or separated, or the components may be arranged differently. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The components shown can be implemented in hardware, software, or a combination of software and hardware.

[0071] The server 10 in this application is described in detail below.

[0072] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first embodiment of the present application provides a server 10, which is used to be placed in a cabinet 11. The server 10 includes a chassis 100, a hard disk module 200, a fan assembly 300 and a partition 400. The chassis 100 includes an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 arranged opposite to each other along a first direction X; the hard disk module 200 is located in the chassis 100 and is arranged near the air inlet 101; the fan assembly 300 is located in the chassis 100 and is located between the hard disk module 200 and the air inlet 101. On the side close to the air outlet 102 along the first direction X, the fan assembly 300 can drive the air outside the chassis 100 to enter the chassis 100 from the air inlet 101 to dissipate heat inside the chassis 100, and flow out to the outside of the chassis 100 from the air outlet 102; the partition 400 is located between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 along the first direction X, and the partition 400 is connected between the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the partition 400 intersects with the first direction X. Figure 3 The partition 400 is for illustration only. The partition 400 is a plate with thickness, and its shape and size can be designed according to actual conditions.

[0073] The chassis 100 protects the internal components of the server 10. In one embodiment, the chassis 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped with an internal storage space. In other embodiments, the chassis 100 may have other shapes. An air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102 are provided on the two end surfaces of the chassis 100 in the first direction X, respectively. The air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 connect the interior and exterior of the chassis 100. Figure 3 The air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102 are only examples, indicating that air can enter and exit the chassis 100 along the air inlet 101 or the air outlet 102, and do not represent the specific form and number of the actual air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102. Figure 3 The partitioning method of the chassis 100 is only an example to more clearly illustrate the internal structure of the chassis 100 and does not represent the actual opening method of the chassis 100.

[0074] In one embodiment, the first direction X is the installation direction of the server 10. The server 10 is installed in the cabinet 11 along the first direction X, with the air inlet 101 closer to the outside of the cabinet 11 than the air outlet 102. If the cabinet 11 also has a door, the air inlet 101 is located closer to the door than the air outlet 102. In other embodiments, the server 10 may be installed in the cabinet 11 along other directions. In this embodiment, the first direction X is the front-to-back direction of the cabinet 11. In one embodiment, the number of air inlet 101 and air outlet 102 can be one or more, and the number of air inlets 101 and air outlet 102 can be the same or different, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0075] The hard disk module 200 is a storage device of the server 10. Figure 3 The hard disk module 200 includes 12 hard disks, which are not shown in the present application. Figure 3 The number of hard disks shown limits the actual number of hard disks in the embodiment of this application. The hard disk module 200 can be designed according to the actual storage requirements, specific form, size, etc. of the server 10, and can have more or less than 12. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0076] The fan assembly 300 is a heat dissipation device of the server 10. The fan assembly 300 can drive the cold air outside the chassis 100 to enter the chassis 100 from the air inlet 101 (eg Figure 2 As shown), the cold air absorbs the heat of the hard disk module 200 and other components in the chassis 100 and the temperature rises to become hot air. The fan assembly 300 drives the hot air in the chassis 100 to be discharged from the air outlet 102 to the outside of the chassis.

[0077] One side of the partition 400 is connected to the outside of the chassis 100, and the other side of the partition 400 is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The partition 400 can block the air from flowing along the first direction X. Connection refers to connection in a broad sense, including fixed connection, rotational connection, overlap, etc. In one embodiment, one side of the partition 400 is fixedly connected to the outside of the chassis 100, and the other side of the partition 400 overlaps the inner wall of the cabinet 11. In other embodiments, one side of the partition 400 can overlap the outside of the chassis 100, and the other side of the partition 400 can be fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The partition 400 intersects with the first direction X, which can be understood as the partition 400 intersecting the first direction X at right angles, or the partition 400 can be set at an acute angle or an obtuse angle to the first direction X. A server 10 may include one partition 400, or may include two (such as Figure 2 In this embodiment, after the server 10 is placed in the cabinet 11, at least one side surface of the chassis 100 is spaced from the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The partition 400 is located in the gap between the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 to prevent air from flowing from the air outlet 102 to the air inlet 101 along the gap.

[0078] If the partition 400 is not provided (e.g. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, the hot air with higher temperature flowing out of the air outlet 102 to the outside of the chassis 100 is easy to flow back to the air inlet 101, causing the air temperature at the air inlet 101 to increase. When the air outside the air inlet 101 enters the chassis 100 from the air inlet 101 and dissipates heat for the internal components of the chassis 100, the air with higher temperature has poor heat dissipation effect on the internal components of the chassis 100, which is not conducive to the stable operation of the server 10.

[0079] In this embodiment, by setting a partition 400 (such as Figure 2 As shown), on the one hand, the partition 400 can block the hot air with higher temperature flowing out from the air outlet 102 to the outside of the chassis 100 from flowing back to the air inlet 101, ensuring that the air entering the chassis from the air inlet is cold air with lower temperature, improving the heat dissipation effect of the server 10, and ensuring the stable operation of the server 10. At the same time, the partition 400 is simple to set up, with low cost and wide applicability; on the other hand, since the hard disk module 200 is set close to the air inlet 101, the hard disk module 200 will hinder the cold air outside the chassis 100 from entering the chassis 100 from the air inlet 101. The setting of the partition 400 prevents the cold air outside the chassis 100 from flowing from the air inlet 101 to the air outlet 102 along the gap between the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and retains the cold air in the air inlet 101 to the maximum extent, which can better guide the cold air from the air inlet 101 into the chassis 100 to dissipate heat for the internal components of the chassis 100.

[0080] In the present application, the size of the partition 400 depends on the size of the gap between the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11. In one embodiment, the length of the partition 400 is greater than or equal to the width of the gap. The length of the partition 400 is the distance between the two sides of the partition 400 respectively connecting the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The width of the gap is the distance between the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11. When the width of the gap is large, the partition 400 can be plate-shaped. When the width of the gap is small, the partition 400 can also be strip-shaped.

[0081] In one embodiment, the length of the partition 400 may also be smaller than the width of the gap. One side of the partition 400 is connected to the outside of the chassis 100, and the other side of the partition 400 extends away from the outside of the chassis 100. The partition 400 can block part of the air outside the chassis 100 from flowing from the air outlet 102 to the air inlet 101 along the gap.

[0082] In one embodiment, the height of the partition 400 is greater than or equal to the height of the chassis 100. The height of the partition 400 is the length of the side of the partition 400 connected to the outside of the chassis 100 or the side of the partition 400 connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, that is, the distance between the two sides of the partition 400 in the third direction Z (e.g., Figure 3 As shown in FIG1 , the third direction Z intersects with the first direction X. The height of the chassis 100 is the distance between the two sides of the chassis 100 in the third direction Z. The height of the partition 400 is greater than or equal to the height of the chassis 100 so that the partition 400 can effectively block the air outside the chassis 100 from flowing from the air outlet 102 to the air inlet 101. In one embodiment, the height of the partition 400 is greater than or equal to the height of the cabinet 11. The height of the cabinet 11 is the distance between the two inner walls of the cabinet 11 in the third direction Z. In one embodiment, the partition 400 is a square plate having four sides, one of which is connected to the chassis 100, and the remaining three sides are respectively connected to the three inner walls of the cabinet 11. In one embodiment, the first direction X is the front-to-back direction of the cabinet 11, the second direction Y is the left-to-right direction of the cabinet 11, and the third direction Z is the height direction of the cabinet 11.

[0083] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram (2) of the cabinet 11 and the server 10 provided in the second embodiment of the present application, Figure 7Schematic diagram (2) of the server 10 provided in the second embodiment of the present application. The second embodiment of the present application provides a server 10, which is different from the first embodiment in that the chassis 100 is provided with a side air inlet 103. In the first direction X, the side air inlet 103 is located between the hard disk module 200 and the fan assembly 300, and the partition 400 is located between the side air inlet 103 and the air outlet 102. The side air inlet 103 passes through the inner and outer surfaces of the chassis 100, and the partition 400, the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 can be surrounded to form a U-shaped cavity (such as Figure 6 As shown, cool air can enter the chassis 100 through the side air inlet 103 through the U-shaped cavity. When the fan assembly 300 is running, air outside the chassis 100 can enter the chassis 100 through both the side air inlet 103 and the air inlet 101, significantly increasing the air intake space for the server 10. This effectively replenishes cool air to the server 10, increases the air intake volume for the server 10, and improves the heat dissipation capacity of the server 10.

[0084] In this embodiment, if Figure 6 In the embodiment, the partition 400 is arranged on one side of the side air inlet 103 close to the fan assembly 300 along the first direction X. Figure 8 In the embodiment, the partition 400 is arranged on one side of the chassis 100 close to the air outlet 102 along the first direction X. The partition 400 can be arranged at other positions between the side air inlet 103 and the air outlet 102, and this application does not impose any limitation on this.

[0085] Since the hard disk module 200 is arranged close to the air inlet 101, the multiple hard disks in the hard disk module 200 are usually arranged closely and the hardware spacing is small, so that the air outside the chassis 100 will be blocked by the hard disk module 200 after passing through the air inlet 101, resulting in large air inlet resistance and small air intake volume in the chassis 100, affecting the heat dissipation of the server 10. At the same time, in order to ensure that the server 10 has a large storage space, one end of the air inlet 101 is usually fully equipped with hard disks, and the hard disk module 200 is perpendicular to the wind direction of the air inlet 101, which hinders the circulation of cold air in the chassis 100.

[0086] In this application, by setting the side air inlet 103 (such as Figure 6As shown), on the one hand, the air inlet space of the server 10 is greatly increased, which can effectively supplement the cold air to the server 10, increase the air intake volume of the server 10, and improve the heat dissipation capacity of the server 10; on the other hand, the side air inlet 103 is set on the side of the hard disk module 200 close to the air outlet 102 along the first direction X, and the cold air entering the chassis 100 from the side air inlet 103 does not need to pass through the hard disk module 200 first, and directly dissipates the heat to the electronic components on the motherboard 500 behind the hard disk module 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on other electronic components and ensuring the heat dissipation effect on the hard disk module 200 and other electronic components; on the other hand, the distance between the hard disk module 200 and the fan assembly 300 is large and there are no other large devices. The side air inlet 103 is set between the hard disk module 200 and the fan assembly 300, which can increase the air intake volume of the side air inlet 103.

[0087] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 300 is located between the hard disk module 200 and the motherboard 500 (eg Figure 6 As shown in the figure, the side air inlet 103 is close to the fan assembly 300. If the partition 400 is not provided, the hot air discharged from the air outlet 102 in the chassis 100 is more likely to flow back to the side air inlet 103 and affect the heat dissipation effect of the server 10. In this embodiment, by providing a partition 400 between the side air inlet 103 and the air outlet 102, while increasing the amount of cold air intake, it can also reduce the backflow of hot air, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server 10.

[0088] In other embodiments, the fan assembly 300 may also be located on the side of the motherboard 500 away from the hard disk module 200. The fan assembly 300 draws air backward so that cold air enters the chassis 100 from the side air inlet 103 and the air inlet 101 and is discharged to the outside of the chassis 100 from the air outlet 102.

[0089] In other embodiments, the fan assembly 300 can also blow air forward, that is, the fan assembly 300 drives the air outside the chassis 100 to enter the chassis 100 from the air outlet 102 to dissipate heat inside the chassis 100, and flow out from the air inlet 101 to the outside of the chassis 100. At this time, the side air inlet 103 is arranged between the fan assembly 300 and the air inlet 101 along the first direction X. The side air inlet 103 is used to increase the exhaust volume of the server 10, which helps to discharge the hot air in the chassis 100. The partition 400 can be arranged between the side air inlet 103 and the air outlet 102 to prevent the hot air flowing out of the side air inlet 103 and the air inlet 101 from flowing back to the air outlet 102.

[0090] In a possible implementation, the first side surface 110 of the chassis 100 along the second direction Y is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cabinet 11 (eg, Figure 6As shown, the second direction Y intersects the first direction X. The first side surface 110 is provided with a side air inlet 103. The partition 400 is located between the first side surface 110 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11. In the first direction X, the partition 400 is located between the side air inlet 103 and the air outlet 102. The side air inlet 103 penetrates the first side surface 110. The partition 400 can prevent air flowing out of the chassis 100 from the air outlet 102 and backflowing along the gap between the first side surface 110 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 to the side air inlet 103 and the air inlet 101, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server 10.

[0091] In one embodiment, the chassis 100 includes a first side surface 110 and a second side surface 120 along the second direction Y (eg, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown), the second side 120 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the second side 120 is provided with a side air inlet 103a, which passes through the second side 120, and a partition 400a is provided between the second side 120 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11. In the first direction X, the partition 400a is located between the side air inlet 103a and the air outlet 102. The partition 400a can block the air flowing out of the air outlet 102 to the outside of the chassis 100 from flowing back to the side air inlet 103a and the air inlet 101 along the gap between the second side 120 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server 10.

[0092] like Figure 6 As shown, two side air inlets (103, 103a) and two partitions (400, 400a) are provided on both sides of the server 10. The partition 400, the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 can be arranged to form a U-shaped cavity with an opening toward the air inlet 101. The partition 400a, the outer side of the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 can also be arranged to form a U-shaped cavity with an opening toward the air inlet 101. Driven by the fan assembly 300, cold air enters the chassis 100 from the two U-shaped cavities through the side air inlets (103, 103a) on the side walls of the chassis 100, forming a Y-shaped air duct.

[0093] In one embodiment, the chassis 100 has a third side surface 130 along the third direction Z (eg Figure 9 As shown), when the third side surface 130 is spaced apart from the inner wall of the cabinet 11, a side air inlet 103b may also be provided on the third side surface 130, and a partition 400b is provided between the third side surface 130 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 to block the air backflow at the air outlet 102.

[0094] In this embodiment, the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z intersect perpendicularly. The first direction X is the length direction of the server 10 and is also the front-to-back direction of the server 10. The second direction Y is the width direction of the server 10 and is also the left-right direction of the server 10. The third direction Z is the height direction of the server 10 and is also the up-down direction of the server 10.

[0095] See also Figure 10 and Figure 11 , Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the partition 400 provided in the third embodiment of the present application when it is opened. Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the partition 400 provided in the third embodiment of the present application when closed. The third embodiment of the present application provides a server 10. The difference from the first embodiment is that one side of the partition 400 is rotatably connected to the outside of the chassis 100, and the partition 400 can be opened or closed relative to the outside of the chassis 100; when the partition 400 is open (e.g. Figure 10 As shown), the other side of the partition 400 is used to connect with the inner wall of the cabinet 11; when the partition 400 is closed (as shown Figure 11 As shown), the partition 400 is fitted with the chassis 100. When the server 10 is in use, the partition 400 is opened to block the backflow of hot air and improve the heat dissipation effect of the server 10. At this time, the other side of the partition 400 can be overlapped with the inner wall of the cabinet 11 or connected by a fixing device such as a buckle; when the server 10 needs to be transported or removed from the cabinet 11 for maintenance, the partition 400 can be closed, and the partition 400 is fitted to the outside of the chassis 100 to facilitate the transportation and removal of the server 10. By setting a rotating connection between the partition 400 and the chassis 100, not only can the front and rear airflow be isolated, but also the requirements for easy installation and removal of the server 10 on the cabinet 11 and the requirement for easy transportation of the server 10 can be met.

[0096] In one embodiment, the outer side of the chassis 100 is provided with a groove 104 that is recessed toward the inside of the chassis 100 (e.g., Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown), when the partition 400 is closed, the partition 400 is located in the groove 104, reducing the overall size of the partition 400 and the chassis 100.

[0097] In one embodiment, the server 10 also includes a retaining spring, which is installed between the partition 400 and the outside of the chassis 100, and is used to open the partition 400 and prevent the partition 400 from closing due to rotation. At this time, the other side of the partition 400 can overlap with the inner wall of the cabinet 11. The setting of the retaining spring can ensure that the partition 400 is in an open state to achieve the purpose of blocking the backflow of hot air. When the partition 400 needs to be closed, the other side of the partition 400 can be fixed to the outside of the chassis 100 by means of buckles, screws, etc.

[0098] In a possible implementation, in the first direction X, the other side of the partition 400 is arranged closer to the air outlet 102 than the one side of the partition 400 (eg, Figure 10 and Figure 11 When the partition 400 is opened, the partition 400 is tilted toward the rear side of the chassis 100, that is, the partition 400 is set at an acute angle with the portion of the chassis 100 near the air outlet 102. This makes it difficult for the partition 400 to be blown open during hot air reflow. At the same time, when the server 10 is removed from the cabinet 11, the server 10 can be directly dragged out along the first direction X, which facilitates the removal of the server 10.

[0099] In other embodiments, one side of the partition 400 can be rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the partition 400 can be opened or closed relative to the inner wall of the cabinet 11. When the partition 400 is open, the other side of the partition 400 is used to connect to the outside of the chassis 100; when the partition 400 is closed, the partition 400 is in contact with the inner wall of the cabinet 11. In this case, in the first direction X, the other side of the partition 400 can be positioned closer to the air inlet 101 than the one side of the partition 400. When removing the server 10 from the cabinet 11, the server 10 can be directly dragged out along the first direction X, facilitating removal of the server 10.

[0100] See also Figure 12 and Figure 13 , Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the server 10 with the partition 400 opened provided in the fourth embodiment of the present application. Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the server 10 when the partition 400 provided in the fourth embodiment of the present application is closed. The fourth embodiment of the present application provides a server 10, which is different from the first embodiment in that the partition 400 includes a first sub-board 410 and a second sub-board 420 that are rotatably connected. The first sub-board 410 is fixed to the outside of the chassis 100, and the second sub-board 420 can be opened or closed relative to the first sub-board 410; when the second sub-board 420 is open, the side of the second sub-board 420 away from the first sub-board 410 is used to connect to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the second sub-board 420 intersects with the first direction X; when the second sub-board 420 is closed, the second sub-board 420 is in contact with the first sub-board 410. By dividing the partition 400 into two sub-boards, on the one hand, when the server 10 needs to block the hot air backflow, the first sub-board 410 can be installed to the outside of the chassis 100 at any time, and the partition 400 can be removed when not needed, making it more convenient to use the partition 400; on the other hand, when the server 10 is installed in a cabinet 11 of different specifications, the installation environment of the server 10 changes. At this time, the partition 400 can be replaced to make the partition 400 adapt to the new installation environment, so that the partition 400 can adapt to various installation environments.

[0101] In one embodiment, when the second sub-panel 420 is opened, the openings of the second sub-panel 420 and the first sub-panel 410 are arranged toward the air outlet 102, and the second sub-panel 420 and the first sub-panel 410 are arranged at an acute angle. The second sub-panel 420 overlaps the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the second sub-panel 420 is not easily blown open when the hot air refluxes. At the same time, when the server 10 is taken out of the cabinet 11, the server 10 can be directly dragged out along the first direction X, which facilitates the disassembly of the server 10.

[0102] See also Figure 14 and Figure 15 , Figure 14 This is a schematic diagram of the partition 400 provided in the fifth embodiment of the present application when it is opened. Figure 15 This is a schematic diagram of the partition 400 provided in the fifth embodiment of the present application when closed. The fifth embodiment of the present application provides a server 10, which is different from the fourth embodiment in that the partition 400 also includes a first magnet 411 and a second magnet 421, the first magnet 411 is fixed to the first sub-plate 410, and the second magnet 421 is fixed to the second sub-plate 420; when the magnetic poles of the ends of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 that are close to each other are different, the first magnet 411 is adsorbed on the second magnet 421 to close the second sub-plate 420; when the magnetic poles of the ends of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 that are close to each other are the same, the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 are separated to open the second sub-plate 420.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 can both be permanent magnets or both be soft magnets, or one of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 can be a soft magnet and the other can be a permanent magnet. Permanent magnets can maintain their magnetism for a long time, such as natural magnets (magnetite) and artificial magnets (iron-nickel-cobalt magnets); soft magnets are easily magnetized, and after being magnetized, their magnetism is also easy to disappear. For example, soft magnets can be charged magnets, and the material of charged magnets is usually metal. Charged magnets generate magnetism when power is applied and lose their magnetism when power is removed.

[0104] When the magnetic pole of the end of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is opposite to the magnetic pole of the end of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411, that is, the end of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is the magnetic north pole N, and the end of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411 is the magnetic south pole S, or the end of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is the magnetic south pole S, and the end of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411 is the magnetic north pole N, the different magnetic poles attract each other, and the first magnet 411 is adsorbed on the second magnet 421, so that the second sub-plate 420 is closed; or at least one of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 is a charged magnet, when one of the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 loses its magnetism and the other retains its magnetism, the magnet with magnetism can adsorb metal (that is, the charged magnetic pole after power is off) to close the second sub-plate 420.

[0105] When the magnetic pole of the end of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is the same as the magnetic pole of the end of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411, that is, the magnetic pole of the end of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 and the magnetic pole of the end of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411 are both magnetic north poles N or both magnetic south poles S, the same magnetic poles repel each other, and the second magnet 421 moves away from the first magnet 411, so that the second sub-plate 420 is set away from the first sub-plate 410.

[0106] By providing the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 , the partition 400 can be opened and closed more conveniently.

[0107] In one possible implementation, the first magnet 411 is a charging pole, and the second magnet 421 is a permanent magnet. When the first magnet 411 is powered off, the first magnet 411 is attracted to the second magnet 421, closing the second sub-panel 420. When the first magnet 411 is powered on, the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 separate, opening the second sub-panel 420. The first magnet 411 is made of metal and can generate magnetism when charged. Power can be supplied to the first magnet 411 via a power module within the chassis 100 or via an external power source. When the first magnet 411 is powered off, it is non-magnetic. The second magnet 421 is magnetic and can attract metal. When the first magnet 411 is powered off, the first magnet 411 is a non-magnetic metal, and the magnetic second magnet 421 can be adsorbed on the first magnet 411, so that the second sub-plate 420 is set close to the first sub-plate 410; when the first magnet 411 is powered on, the first magnet 411 generates magnetism, and the direction of the current is controlled so that the magnetic pole of the side of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is the same as the magnetic pole of the side of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411, and the same magnetic poles repel each other, so that the second sub-plate 420 is set away from the first sub-plate 410.

[0108] By providing the first magnet 411 and the second magnet 421 , the opening and closing of the partition 400 are made more intelligent and do not require manual operation.

[0109] In one embodiment, the partition 400 further includes a rotating shaft 430 (eg Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown), one side of the first sub-plate 410 and one side of the second sub-plate 420 are rotatably connected via a rotating shaft 430. The first magnet 411 is located at one end of the first sub-plate 410 away from the rotating shaft 430 and at a side of the first sub-plate 410 close to the second sub-plate 420. The second magnet 421 is located at one end of the second sub-plate 420 away from the rotating shaft 430 and at a side of the second sub-plate 420 close to the first sub-plate 410.

[0110] In other embodiments, the direction of the current can also be controlled so that the magnetic pole on the side of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is opposite to the magnetic pole on the side of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411, and the different magnetic poles attract each other, so that the second sub-plate 420 is set close to the first sub-plate 410, and the second sub-plate 420 is closed; the direction of the current can be controlled so that the magnetic pole on the side of the first magnet 411 close to the second magnet 421 is the same as the magnetic pole on the side of the second magnet 421 close to the first magnet 411, and the same magnetic poles repel each other, so that the second sub-plate 420 is set away from the first sub-plate 410, and the second sub-plate 420 is opened.

[0111] In other embodiments, the first magnet 411 may also be fixed to the second sub-plate 420 , and the second magnet 421 may be fixed to the first sub-plate 410 .

[0112] See also Figure 16 , Figure 16 This is a schematic diagram of a cabinet 11 and a server 10 provided in a sixth embodiment of the present application. The sixth embodiment of the present application provides a server 10, which differs from the first embodiment in that a partition 400 includes a first sub-board 410 and a second sub-board 420 connected to each other. The first sub-board 410 has a greater hardness than the second sub-board 420. The side of the first sub-board 410 away from the second sub-board 420 is used to connect to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, and the side of the second sub-board 420 away from the first sub-board 410 is connected to the outside of the chassis 100. The second sub-board 420 is set to a relatively soft material. When the server 10 is installed or removed, the second sub-board 420 can be bent or deformed, so that the server 10 can be smoothly installed in or removed from the cabinet 11. When the server 10 is installed in the cabinet 11, the first sub-board 410 and the second sub-board 420 are used together to prevent the hot air flowing out of the air outlet 102 from flowing back to the air inlet 101. The first sub-board 410 has a large hardness and can withstand strong wind without being blown away, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the partition 400.

[0113] In one embodiment, one side of the first sub-board 410 is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 11, the other side of the first sub-board 410 is fixedly connected to one side of the second sub-board 420, and the other side of the second sub-board 420 is overlapped on the outer side of the chassis 100.

[0114] In one embodiment, one side of the first sub-board 410 is fixed to the inner wall of the cabinet 11 , one side of the second sub-board 420 is fixed to the outside of the chassis 100 , and the other side of the first sub-board 410 overlaps the other side of the second sub-board 420 .

[0115] In one embodiment, the first sub-plate 410 can be a metal plate, a plastic plate, or other hard materials; the second sub-plate 420 can be a sheet of sponge, a sheet of brush, rubber, or other softer materials.

[0116] In other embodiments, the first sub-plate 410 and the second sub-plate 420 may both be made of relatively soft materials.

[0117] In a possible implementation, in the second direction Y, the length of the first sub-board 410 is less than the distance between the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, and the partition 400 is located on one side of the chassis 100 along the second direction Y. Figure 17 In the embodiment, the length L1 of the first sub-board 410 is less than the distance L3 between the chassis 100 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11, so that when the chassis 100 is installed to the cabinet 11 or removed from the cabinet 11 along the first direction Y, the first sub-board 410 will not contact the outside of the chassis 100, will not scratch the outside of the chassis 100, and will not hinder the installation and removal of the chassis 100.

[0118] In one possible implementation, in the second direction Y, the length of the second sub-board 420 is greater than the minimum distance between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11, and the minimum distance between the first sub-board 410 and the chassis 100 is greater than the minimum distance between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11. In actual scenarios, other devices may be provided between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11, which may adversely affect the process of installing the chassis 100 into the cabinet 11. For example, in some embodiments, the cabinet 11 is further provided with a square hole bar 12 (such as Figure 16 As shown), the square hole bar 12 is located between the cabinet 11 and the chassis 100 and is used to fix the chassis 100. During the installation of the chassis 100, if the length of the first sub-board 410 is too long, the first sub-board 410 may scratch the chassis 100 or make it difficult to install the chassis 100. If the length or position of the second sub-board 420 is set arbitrarily, the second sub-board 420 may also be damaged by the square hole bar 12 during the installation of the chassis 100.

[0119] In this embodiment, the lengths of the first sub-board 410 and the second sub-board 420 are set according to the actual application scenario. The minimum distance between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11 can be the distance L4 between the square hole bar 12 and the outside of the chassis 100. Figure 17 As shown, the length L2 of the second sub-board 420 is greater than the minimum distance L4 between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11. When the chassis 100 is installed in the cabinet 11, it is ensured that the partition 400 is in direct contact with the chassis 100 through the relatively soft second sub-board 420. The second sub-board 420 can be bent or deformed, making the installation process smoother. At the same time, after the chassis 100 is installed in the cabinet 11, the second sub-board 420 can be kept against the outside of the chassis 100 to block the backflow of hot air.

[0120] The minimum distance between the first sub-board 410 and the chassis 100 is the distance between the side of the first sub-board 410 close to the second sub-board 420 and the chassis 100, that is, Figure 17 In L6, the minimum distance between the chassis 100 and the cabinet 11 is L4. By setting L6 greater than L4, there is no first sub-board 410 with greater hardness between the chassis 100 and the square hole bar 12, so as to ensure smooth disassembly and assembly of the chassis 100.

[0121] In one embodiment, if Figure 17 As shown, in the second direction Y, the length L1 of the first sub-board 410 is smaller than the maximum distance L5 between the square hole bar 12 and the inner wall of the cabinet 11 to ensure smooth installation and removal of the chassis 100.
