Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of GPU installation technology in servers, and particularly to servers. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of information technology, server maintenance is becoming increasingly important. GPU modules are among the most critical and costly components in servers, making their removal and reassembly crucial during maintenance. GPU modules are installed in the chassis, requiring removal during maintenance and subsequent secure reinstallation. Furthermore, with technological advancements, the demand for front-facing cabling in servers is growing, necessitating the placement of GPU modules in the front panel of the chassis. However, the front panel has limited space for cable routing and other component mounting. Therefore, achieving both stable mounting of GPU modules in the front panel and rapid disassembly and reassembly during maintenance has become a significant research challenge. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above problems, this invention proposes a server that uses a locking component to fix the end of the GPU module near the front window. At the same time, when maintenance is required, the locking tongue can be switched to the unlocked state for quick disassembly and assembly of the GPU module.
[0004] A server, comprising:
[0005] The chassis has a front window;
[0006] The GPU module includes a module bracket, the GPU module is installed in the chassis, and one end of the GPU module is located at the front window of the chassis;
[0007] A locking assembly includes a latch, which is rotatably mounted on the front window to switch between an unlocked state and a locked state. A locking bridge is provided on the module bracket at a position corresponding to the latch. When the latch is in the locked state, it is at least partially inserted into the locking bridge to limit the GPU module in the chassis. When the latch is in the unlocked state, it is retracted outside the locking bridge.
[0008] In one embodiment, the insertion direction of the locking tongue into the latching bridge is parallel to the front-rear direction of the chassis;
[0009] The locking assembly also includes a pin, a portion of which rests on the frame structure on the chassis to form the front window, the pin being inserted into the module bracket and the frame structure, the pin being inserted in a direction intersecting the front-rear direction of the chassis.
[0010] In one embodiment, the locking assembly further includes a component base connected to a portion of the frame structure on the chassis that forms the front window. A portion of the component base is spaced apart from the frame structure, with the gap between them forming an installation gap. The latch is installed in the installation gap and is hinged to the component base. The latch is rotatable relative to the component base within the installation gap to switch between the unlocked state and the locked state.
[0011] In one embodiment, the locking assembly further includes a sliding bracket that can slide back and forth relative to the chassis in a first direction. A portion of the sliding bracket is located outside the chassis, and another portion of the sliding bracket is located in the mounting gap and engages with the locking tongue. The engagement relationship between the sliding bracket and the locking tongue satisfies the condition that when the sliding bracket slides relative to the chassis in the first direction, the locking tongue can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first direction is perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the chassis. The portion of the sliding bracket located in the mounting gap is a sliding limiting portion. The sliding limiting portion is provided with a guide groove. The guiding direction of the guide groove is the front-rear direction of the chassis. The latch is provided with a locking pin inserted into the guide groove. The locking pin can slide in the guide groove. The axial direction of the locking pin is parallel to the rotatable axial direction of the latch relative to the chassis. The locking pin and the rotatable axis of the latch relative to the chassis are arranged in opposite positions.
[0013] In one embodiment, the component base is provided with an anti-slip insert, the sliding bracket is provided with an anti-slip groove, the anti-slip insert is inserted into the anti-slip groove, and when the sliding bracket slides relative to the chassis along the first direction, the anti-slip insert slides in the anti-slip groove along the first direction;
[0014] When the anti-slip insert slides in the anti-slip groove along the first direction until it abuts against one side wall of the anti-slip groove, the locking tongue is in a locked state.
[0015] When the anti-slip insert slides in the anti-slip groove in the opposite direction to abut against the other side wall of the anti-slip groove, the latch is in the unlocked state.
[0016] In one embodiment, the portion of the sliding bracket located outside the chassis is the operating portion, the anti-slip groove is formed in the operating portion, the component base is elongated, the length direction of the component base is consistent with the first direction, the two ends of the component base are connected to the chassis in the length direction of the component base, the middle part of the component base forms the installation gap between it and the frame structure on the chassis that forms the front window, and the anti-slip insert is located in the middle part of the component base.
[0017] In one embodiment, the portion of the sliding bracket located outside the chassis is an operating part, which is located at the front of the chassis and has anti-slip texture.
[0018] In one embodiment, the GPU module further includes a module outer panel that covers the outside of the module bracket, and the slot pull bridge is located inside the module outer panel.
[0019] In one embodiment, the server further includes a corner locking member, with one end of the GPU module away from the front window connected to the corner locking member. The corner locking member includes a rotating locking part that is rotatable relative to the other parts of the corner locking member to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the corner locking member is in the locked state, it engages with the chassis and locks itself in place. When the corner locking member is in the unlocked state, it separates from the chassis.
[0020] The above solution provides a server in which, when the GPU module is installed in the chassis, the end of the GPU module near the front window is locked to the chassis by a locking assembly to ensure that the GPU module can be stably mounted at the front window of the chassis. When disassembly is required, rotating the latch switches it to the unlocked state, allowing the GPU module to be removed from the chassis, making disassembly and assembly convenient and quick.

[0038] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a server 10 is provided, including: a chassis 11, a GPU module 12, and a locking assembly 13. The chassis 11 has a front window 112. The GPU module 12 includes a module bracket 122, and the GPU module 12 is mounted in the chassis 11, with one end of the GPU module 12 located at the front window 112 of the chassis 11.
[0040] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the locking assembly 13 includes a latch 131, which is rotatably mounted on the front window 112 to switch between an unlocked state and a locked state. Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a locking bridge 1221 is provided on the module bracket 122 at a position corresponding to the locking tongue 131. When the locking tongue 131 is in the locked state, it is at least partially inserted into the locking bridge 1221 to limit the GPU module 12 in the chassis 11. When the locking tongue 131 is in the unlocked state, it is retracted outside the locking bridge 1221.
[0041] The above-described solution provides a server 10 in which the GPU module 12 is installed in the chassis 11. The end of the GPU module 12 near the front window 112 is locked to the chassis 11 via a locking assembly 13, ensuring that the GPU module 12 is stably mounted at the front window 112 of the chassis 11. When disassembly is required, rotating the locking tongue 131 switches it to the unlocked state, allowing the GPU module 12 to be removed from the chassis 11. This makes disassembly and assembly convenient and quick.
[0042] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, the locking assembly 13, in its unlocked state, retracts its locking tongue 131, exiting the latching bridge 1221. (As indicated...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8As shown, when the locking tongue 131 is rotated to the locked state, the protruding length of the locking tongue 131 increases, and the locking tongue 131 is inserted into the locking bracket 1221, thereby restricting the movement of the GPU module 12 relative to the chassis 11.
[0043] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the locking bridge 1221 is formed by stamping and bending a portion of the module bracket 122. The locking tongue 131 inserted into the locking bridge 1221 cannot move relative to the module bracket 122 in any direction perpendicular to the insertion direction, thereby limiting the module bracket 122 in the chassis 11.
[0044] For example, in one embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the insertion direction of the locking tongue 131 into the latching bridge 1221 is parallel to the front-rear direction of the chassis 11. In such a way... Figure 1 and Figure 2 From the perspective shown, after the locking tongue 131 is inserted into the latch bridge 1221, the GPU module 12 cannot move relative to the chassis 11 in either the left-right or up-down direction. The front-back direction in this application is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the middle arrow L1. The directions of front, back, up, down, left, and right mentioned in this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to indicate future developments. Figure 1 The naming shown at the indicated angles is not intended to limit construction and operation to specific orientations, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. These orientation names will change accordingly when the viewing angle changes.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the locking assembly 13 also includes a pin 134. A portion of the module bracket 122 rests on the frame structure of the chassis 11 that forms the front window 112. The pin 134 is inserted into the module bracket 122 and the frame structure, with the insertion direction of the pin 134 intersecting the front-rear direction of the chassis 11. Under the limiting action of the pin 134, the module bracket 122 cannot move relative to the chassis 11 in the front-rear direction, thereby fixing the relative position of the GPU module 12 within the chassis 11.
[0046] During installation, the module bracket 122 can be partially placed on the chassis 11, aligning the insertion holes for the pins 134 on the chassis 11 with those on the module bracket 122. Then, the pins 134 are inserted into the two holes sequentially. This process restricts the displacement of the module bracket 122 relative to the chassis 11 in the front-to-back direction and also serves as initial positioning. After the module bracket 122 and chassis 11 are initially positioned with the pins 134 passing through it, the locking bridge 1221 corresponds precisely to the locking tongue 131. Rotating the locking tongue 131 at this point will switch the locking tongue 131 to the locked state.
[0047] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the locking assembly 13 also includes an assembly base 132. (As indicated...) Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the component base 132 is connected to the frame structure on the chassis 11 that forms the front window 112. See also Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the locking tongue 131 is hinged to the component base 132, and the locking tongue 131 rotates relative to the component base 132, which in turn rotates relative to the chassis 11. Optionally, the locking tongue 131 can also be directly hinged to the chassis 11.
[0048] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a portion of the component base 132 is spaced apart from the frame structure, and the gap between them is a mounting gap 1321. The locking tongue 131 is installed in the mounting gap 1321, and the locking tongue 131 can rotate relative to the component base 132 in the mounting gap 1321 to switch between the unlocked state and the locked state. The locking tongue 131 is protected in the mounting gap 1321, and under normal circumstances, the locking tongue 131 will not be obstructed from its rotation by other components.
[0049] like Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the latch 131 is a plate-shaped structure, the gap thickness direction of the mounting gap 1321 is consistent with the thickness direction of the latch 131, and the axial direction in which the latch 131 can rotate relative to the housing 11 is consistent with the thickness direction of the latch 131.
[0050] More specifically, such as Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the component base 132 is elongated, with both ends of the component base 132 connected to the chassis 11 along its length. A mounting gap 1321 is formed between the middle of the component base 132 and the frame structure on the chassis 11 that forms the front window 112. The latch 131 is hinged to the middle of the component base 132.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the frame structure on the chassis 11 that forms the front window 112 is called the front window frame 113. The component base 132 is located in the front window 112 and connected to the front window frame 113. The front window frame 113 is mainly restricted above the locking tongue 131, so after the locking tongue 131 is inserted into the slot pull bridge 1221, the GPU module 12 cannot move upward relative to the chassis 11.
[0052] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figures 7 to 13 As shown, the locking assembly 13 also includes a sliding bracket 133. (As indicated...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the sliding bracket 133 can slide back and forth in a first direction relative to the chassis 11. A part of the sliding bracket 133 is located outside the chassis 11, and the other part of the sliding bracket 133 cooperates with the locking tongue 131. The cooperation relationship between the sliding bracket 133 and the locking tongue 131 satisfies the condition that when the sliding bracket 133 slides relative to the chassis 11 in the first direction, the locking tongue 131 can switch between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0053] Specifically, a portion of the sliding bracket 133 is located outside the chassis 11, and another portion is located in the mounting gap 1321 and engages with the locking tongue 131. The engagement relationship between the sliding bracket 133 and the locking tongue 131 satisfies the condition that when the sliding bracket 133 slides relative to the chassis 11 along the first direction, the locking tongue 131 can switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. The portion of the sliding bracket 133 located outside the chassis 11 is the operating part 1333, and the portion located in the mounting gap 1321 is the sliding limiting part 1331. The operating part 1333 located outside the chassis 11 is mainly used for operation by maintenance personnel, improving the convenience of operation. When the force of pushing the sliding bracket 133 is applied to the operating part 1333, the sliding limiting part 1331 slides in the mounting gap 1321 when the sliding bracket 133 slides relative to the chassis 11 in the first direction.
[0054] In one embodiment, the length direction of the component base 132 is consistent with the first direction, the length direction of the mounting gap 1321 is consistent with the first direction, and the sliding limiting part 1331 can slide back and forth in the mounting gap 1321 along the first direction.
[0055] The sliding limit part 1331 and the locking tongue 131 can be directly engaged or indirectly engaged through a transmission unit, as long as the sliding of the sliding bracket 133 can be converted into the rotation of the locking tongue 131. Moreover, the first direction can also intersect or be parallel to the front and rear direction of the chassis 11.
[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the chassis 11, and arrow L2 indicates the first direction. Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figures 10 to 13 As shown, the sliding bracket 133 is provided with a guide groove 1332, for example, the guide groove 1332 is provided on the sliding limiting part 1331. The guiding direction of the guide groove 1332 is the front-rear direction of the chassis 11. The locking tongue 131 is provided with a locking pin 1311 inserted into the guide groove 1332. The locking pin 1311 can slide in the guide groove 1332. The axial direction of the locking pin 1311 is parallel to the rotatable axial direction of the locking tongue 131 relative to the chassis 11. The locking pin 1311 and the rotatable axis of the locking tongue 131 relative to the chassis 11 are arranged opposite to each other.
[0057] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, when the sliding bracket 133 slides relative to the chassis 11 in the first direction, the sliding limit part 1331 slides in the mounting gap 1321, the guide groove 1332 moves relative to the component base 132 in the first direction, the locking pin 1311 located in the guide groove 1332 slides with the guide groove 1332 relative to the component base 132, and then the locking tongue 131 rotates relative to the component base 132, realizing the switching between the locked state and the unlocked state.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figures 9 to 13 As shown, in some embodiments, the component base 132 is provided with an anti-slip insert 1322, and the sliding bracket 133 is provided with an anti-slip groove 1335. The anti-slip insert 1322 is inserted into the anti-slip groove 1335. When the sliding bracket 133 slides relative to the chassis 11 along the first direction, the anti-slip insert 1322 slides in the anti-slip groove 1335 along the first direction.
[0059] When the anti-slip insert 1322 slides forward in the first direction in the anti-slip groove 1335 until it abuts against one side wall of the anti-slip groove 1335, the locking tongue 131 is in a locked state. From this point on, the anti-slip insert 1322 cannot continue to slide forward in the first direction relative to the sliding bracket 133, ensuring that the locking tongue 131 is accurately in a locked state.
[0060] When the anti-slip insert 1322 slides in the anti-slip groove 1335 in the opposite direction to abut against the other side wall of the anti-slip groove 1335, the locking tongue 131 is in the unlocked state. From this point on, the anti-slip insert 1322 cannot continue to slide in the opposite direction relative to the sliding bracket 133, ensuring that the locking tongue 131 is accurately in the unlocked state.
[0061] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the anti-slip groove 1335 is formed in the operating part 1333, the length direction of the component base 132 is consistent with the first direction, and the anti-slip plug 1322 is disposed in the middle of the component base 132.
[0062] like Figures 11 to 13 As shown, the anti-slip insert 1322 is inserted into the operating part 1333 along the thickness direction of the mounting gap 1321.
[0063] Optionally, the anti-slip groove 1335 may also be formed in other parts of the sliding bracket 133, without specific limitations.
[0064] like Figures 9 to 13 As shown, the operating part 1333 is provided with anti-slip texture 1334. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the operating part 1333 is located at the front of the chassis 11 for easy access.
[0065] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the GPU module 12 further includes a module outer trim panel 123, which covers the outside of the module bracket 122, and the slot pull bridge 1221 is located inside the module outer trim panel 123.
[0066] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the GPU module 12 is installed in the chassis 11, the outer panel 123 of the module will cover the slot bridge 1221, making the server 10 more visually complete.
[0067] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the server 10 also includes a corner locking member 14. One end of the GPU module 12 away from the front window 112 is connected to the corner locking member 14. The corner locking member 14 includes a rotating locking part, which is rotatable relative to the other parts of the corner locking member 14 to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state. When the corner locking member 14 is in the locked state, it engages with the chassis 11 and locks itself. When the corner locking member 14 is in the unlocked state, it separates from the chassis 11.
[0068] The front end of the GPU module 12 is detachably mounted to the front window 112 of the chassis 11 via the locking assembly 13, and the rear end of the GPU module 12 is detachably connected to the chassis 11 via the corner locking member 14.
