Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to server housings, server housing installation methods, and servers. Background Technology

[0002] A server, as an electronic device, includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), DIMMs (Dual-Inline-Memory Modules), hard drives, a server chassis, and a system bus. The server chassis consists of a server tray and a fan shield. The CPU, DIMMs, hard drives, and system bus are all housed in the server tray. The CPU, DIMMs, and hard drives generate significant heat during operation. If this heat accumulates in the server tray, it will slow down the server's performance. Therefore, servers are equipped with fans. The fan shield collects the cool airflow generated by the fans and directs it towards the CPU, DIMMs, and hard drives to dissipate the heat from the server tray and cool the server.

[0003] In existing technologies, the windshield is secured to the server tray using screws, either by fastening or hooking it onto the tray. However, this screw-fastening or hooking method requires significant installation space, and given the limited space within the server tray, existing methods cannot meet practical installation needs. Furthermore, the screw-fastening method is cumbersome, complex, and inconvenient to install.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to invent server casings, server casing installation methods, and servers to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a server chassis, a server chassis installation method, and a server, so as to realize the installation and fixation of the server tray and the windshield. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the installation space in the server tray is saved.

[0006] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A server chassis, with a fan located at the front end of the server chassis, the fan capable of blowing cool air into the server chassis, including:

[0008] Server tray, the server tray being used to support the installation of CPU, DIMM, and hard drive; and

[0009] A windshield is attached above the server tray. A mounting groove is provided on the rear side wall of the windshield, and a mounting post is provided on the rear side wall of the server tray. The mounting groove is pivotally connected to the mounting post. The windshield can rotate about the mounting post in a vertical plane relative to the server tray until the upper surface of the windshield is flush with the upper surface of the side wall of the server tray. An elastic pressing protrusion extending outwards is provided on the front side wall of the windshield, and a mating hole is provided on the front side wall of the server tray. When the upper surface of the windshield is flush with the upper surface of the side wall of the server tray, the elastic pressing protrusion can extend into and be fixed in the mating hole.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, a first inclined surface is provided on the upper end surface of the rear end of the windshield, and a first confluence port is provided on the first inclined surface. The first confluence port is inclined opposite to the CPU supported in the server tray, and the first confluence port is used to draw external cold air to the CPU.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, a first confluence channel is provided between the first inclined surface and the rear end face of the windshield. The upper end face of the first confluence channel is flush with the lower inclined side of the first inclined surface. The first confluence channel can guide external cold air to flow into the first confluence port.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a second inclined surface is also provided on the upper end surface of the rear end of the windshield. The second inclined surface is located on both sides of the first inclined surface. A second confluence port is provided on the second inclined surface. The second confluence port is directly opposite to the DIMM supported in the server tray. The second confluence port is used to gather external cold air onto the DIMM.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment, the second inclined surface is located behind the first inclined surface in the front-to-back direction, and the lower inclined side of the second inclined surface is lower than the lower inclined side of the first inclined surface in the vertical direction. A second confluence channel is provided between the second inclined surface and the rear end face of the windshield. The second confluence channel is flush with the lower inclined side of the second inclined surface. The second confluence channel can guide external cold air to flow into the second confluence port.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting post includes:

[0015] The mounting column body, one end of which is fixed to the side wall of the server tray; and

[0016] A limiting post is connected to the end of the mounting post body away from the server tray. The diameter of the limiting post is larger than the diameter of the mounting post body. The mounting groove includes a first mounting groove and a second mounting groove arranged in a stepped manner. The first mounting groove is located on the side of the second mounting groove near the side wall of the server tray.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment, the side wall of the windshield is further provided with a limiting protrusion, and the side wall of the server tray is provided with a clearance groove. When the windshield rotates around the mounting post relative to the server tray until its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the side wall of the server tray, the limiting protrusion abuts against the clearance groove to limit the downward rotation angle of the windshield relative to the server tray.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment, the windshield is provided with limiting protrusions on both sides, and each limiting protrusion corresponds to one of the clearance grooves.

[0019] As a preferred embodiment, both sides of the windshield are provided with elastic pressing protrusions and mounting grooves, each elastic pressing protrusion is corresponding to a docking hole, and each mounting groove is corresponding to a mounting post.

[0024] Press the elastic pressing protrusion away from the side wall of the server tray;

[0025] Rotate the windshield around the mounting post in a vertical plane relative to the server tray. When the outermost end face of the elastic pressing protrusion abuts against the inner side wall of the server tray, stop pressing the elastic pressing protrusion and continue rotating the windshield around the mounting post in a vertical plane until the upper end face of the windshield is flush with the upper end face of the side wall of the server tray.

[0026] The server includes a CPU, DIMM, hard drive, fan, control unit, and server chassis as described above.

[0028] The server housing provided by this invention features a mounting groove on the rear side wall of a windshield and a mounting post on the rear side wall of a server tray, with the mounting groove and mounting post pivotally connected. This allows the windshield to rotate relative to the server tray in a vertical plane around the mounting post. Furthermore, an elastic pressing protrusion extending from the outer side wall is provided on the front side wall of the windshield, and a mating hole is provided on the front side wall of the server tray. When the windshield rotates around the mounting post in a vertical plane until its upper surface is flush with the upper side wall of the server tray, the elastic pressing protrusion extends into and is fixed in the mating hole, thus securing the windshield to the server tray.

[0040] To make the technical problems solved by the present invention, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0041] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] Server chassis consist of a server tray and a fan shield. To ensure normal server operation, a fan needs to be installed at the front of the server chassis to blow cool air into the chassis, thus dissipating heat. In existing technology, the fan shield is secured to the server tray using screws, either by fastening or hooking it onto the tray. However, this screw-fastening or hooking method requires significant installation space, and given the limited space within the server tray, existing methods cannot meet practical installation needs. Furthermore, the screw-fastening method is cumbersome, complex, and inconvenient to install.

[0046] To solve the above problems, such as Figures 1-5As shown, the present invention provides a server housing 1000. The server housing 1000 includes a windshield 100 and a server tray 200. The server tray 200 is used to support and install a CPU, DIMM, and hard drive. The windshield 100 is U-shaped and inverted above the server tray 200. A mounting groove 120 is provided on the rear side wall of the windshield 100, and a mounting post 220 is provided on the rear side wall of the server tray 200. The mounting groove 120 and the mounting post 220 are pivotally connected, allowing the windshield 100 to rotate around the mounting post 220. The wind shield 100 rotates vertically relative to the server tray 200 until the upper surface of the wind shield 100 is flush with the upper surface of the side wall of the server tray 200. The front side wall of the wind shield 100 is provided with an elastic pressing protrusion 110 extending out of the outer side wall. The front side wall of the server tray 200 is provided with a docking hole 210. When the upper surface of the wind shield 100 is flush with the upper surface of the side wall of the server tray 200, the elastic pressing protrusion 110 can extend into and be fixed in the docking hole 210. The server housing 1000 features a mounting groove 120 on the rear side wall of the windshield 100 and a mounting post 220 on the rear side wall of the server tray 200, with the mounting groove 120 pivotally connected to the mounting post 220. This allows the windshield 100 to rotate relative to the server tray 200 in a vertical plane around the mounting post 220. Furthermore, the windshield 100 has an elastic pressing protrusion 110 extending from its outer side wall on the front side wall, and a mating hole 210 on its front side wall. When the windshield 100 rotates around the mounting post 220 in a vertical plane until its upper surface is flush with the upper side wall of the server tray 200, the elastic pressing protrusion 110 extends into and is fixed in the mating hole 210, thus securing the windshield 100 to the server tray 200. This design is simple, easy to install, requires no additional bolts or other fasteners, and saves installation space in the server tray 200.

[0047] It should be noted that the windshield 100 is manufactured using injection molding. Compared with the existing method of manufacturing windshields 100 by bending Mylar sheets, injection molding of the windshield 100 has higher processing efficiency, more consistent product specifications, and can meet the needs of large-scale processing. In this embodiment, the windshield 100 is injection molded from ABS plastic (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene plastic). ABS plastic has stable chemical properties and good insulation performance. In other embodiments, the windshield 100 can also be injection molded from PP (polypropylene), PS (polystyrene), or POM (polyoxymethylene). This embodiment does not make a specific limitation.

[0048] In this embodiment, since the elastic pressing protrusion 110 is injection molded from ABS plastic, it can produce a certain elastic deformation. In this embodiment, the elastic pressing protrusion 110 is located on the front sidewall of the windshield 100 and extends outward by 2mm to 3mm. The maximum elastic deformation that the windshield 100 can produce is 6mm to 8mm. When it is necessary to connect and fix the windshield 100 to the server tray 200, the elastic pressing protrusion 110 can be pressed inward until the outermost end face of the elastic pressing protrusion 110 abuts against the inner sidewall of the server tray 200. Afterward, there is no need to press the elastic pressing protrusion 110 inward; the server tray 200 will then remain in place. The side wall of 00 will continue to press the elastic pressing protrusion 110 inward and continue to rotate the windshield 100 along the mounting post 220. When the elastic pressing protrusion 110 rotates on the vertical plane to be directly aligned with the docking hole 210 on the side wall of the server tray 200, the side wall of the server tray 200 can no longer press the elastic pressing protrusion 110. The elastic pressing protrusion 110 will move and reset under its own elasticity, and then extend out of the docking hole 210 to complete the insertion and fixation of the elastic pressing protrusion 110 and the docking hole 210.

[0049] Preferably, both sides of the windshield 100 are provided with elastic pressing protrusions 110 and mounting grooves 120. Each elastic pressing protrusion 110 corresponds to a mating hole 210, and each mounting groove 120 corresponds to a mounting post 220. By providing elastic pressing protrusions 110 and mounting grooves 120 on both sides of the windshield 100, and correspondingly providing mating holes 210 and mounting posts 220 on the server tray 200, the fixing effect between the windshield 100 and the server tray 200 can be further improved.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting post 220 includes a mounting post body 221 and a limiting post 222, and the mounting groove 120 includes a first mounting groove 121 and a second mounting groove 122. One end of the mounting post body 221 is fixed to the side wall of the server tray 200, and the limiting post 222 is connected to the end of the mounting post body 221 away from the server tray 200. The diameter of the limiting post 222 is larger than the diameter of the mounting post body 221. The mounting groove 120 includes a first mounting groove 121 and a second mounting groove 122 arranged in a stepped manner. The first mounting groove 121 is located on the side of the second mounting groove 122 closer to the side wall of the server tray 200. The mounting post body 221 is connected to the first mounting groove 121, and the limiting post 222 is connected to the second mounting groove 122. By setting the limiting post 222 and the second mounting groove 122, the maximum relative position between the mounting post body 221 and the first mounting groove 121 can be limited, preventing the second mounting groove 122 from moving along the axial direction of the mounting post body 221, and ensuring the precise docking of the mounting post 220 and the mounting groove 120.

[0051] Combination Figure 4 The specific structure of the limiting post 222 is described below. The limiting post 222 includes a cylindrical portion 2221 and a transition portion 2222. One end of the transition portion 2222 is connected to the movement of the mounting post body 221 away from the server tray 200, and the other end of the transition portion 2222 is connected to the cylindrical portion 2221. The diameter of the transition portion 2222 gradually increases from the end away from the cylindrical portion 2221 to the end closer to the cylindrical portion 2222. By providing the transition portion 2221 between the cylindrical portion 2221 and the mounting post body 221, and by having the diameter of the transition portion 2221 gradually increase from the end away from the cylindrical portion 2221 to the end closer to the cylindrical portion 2222, a guide can be provided for the docking of the mounting post body 221 and the first mounting groove 121, further facilitating the docking and fixing of the mounting post body 221 and the first mounting groove 121, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the windshield 100 and the server tray 200.

[0052] Preferably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a limiting protrusion 170 is provided on the side wall of the wind shield 100, and a clearance groove 230 is provided on the side wall of the server tray 200. When the wind shield 100 rotates around the mounting post 220 relative to the server tray 200 in the vertical plane until its upper end face is flush with the upper end face of the side wall of the server tray 200, the limiting protrusion 170 abuts against the clearance groove 230 to limit the downward rotation angle of the wind shield 100 relative to the server tray 200, thereby preventing the wind shield 100 and the server tray 200 from rotating out of position and squeezing the CPU, DIMM and hard disk installed in the server tray 200, thus improving the protection of the CPU, DIMM and hard disk.

[0053] Furthermore, limit protrusions 170 are provided on both sides of the windshield 100, and each limit protrusion 170 is correspondingly provided with a relief groove 230, thereby further improving the rotation limit effect between the windshield 100 and the server tray 200, and protecting the CPU, DIMM and hard drive supported in the server tray 200.

[0054] Preferably, a first inclined surface is provided on the upper end face of the rear end of the wind deflector 100, and a first confluence port 130 is provided on the first inclined surface. The first confluence port 130 is inclined opposite to the CPU supported in the server tray 200, and the first confluence port 130 is used to gather external cold air to the CPU. By setting the first confluence port 130, an additional cold air inlet can be added on the basis of the fan blowing cold air to the CPU supported in the server tray 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the CPU. Specifically, utilizing the principle that the pressure is lower at the location of the greater flow velocity in a fluid, the air velocity inside the wind deflector 100 and the server tray 200 is high and the pressure is low, while the external cold air velocity is low and the pressure is high. Under the action of pressure, the external cold air will flow along the first confluence port 130 into the space inside the wind deflector 100 and the server tray 200. Moreover, the first confluence port 130 is inclined opposite to the CPU supported in the server tray 200, and the cold air entering along the first confluence port 130 is directly blown to the CPU, completing the heat dissipation of the CPU.

[0055] Furthermore, a first confluence channel 140 is provided between the first inclined surface and the rear end face of the windshield 100. The upper end face of the first confluence channel 140 is flush with the lower inclined edge of the first inclined surface. The first confluence channel 140 can guide external cold air to flow into the first confluence port 130. By providing the first confluence channel 140 flush with the lower inclined edge of the first inclined surface, external cold air can enter the first confluence port 130 along the first confluence channel 140, which not only further improves the heat dissipation effect on the CPU, but also improves the overall aesthetics of the windshield 100.

[0056] In addition, a second inclined surface is provided on the upper end face of the rear end of the wind deflector 100. The second inclined surface is located on both sides of the first inclined surface. A second confluence port 150 is opened on the second inclined surface. The second confluence port 150 is directly opposite the DIMM supported in the server tray 200. The second confluence port 150 is used to gather external cold air onto the DIMM. By setting the second confluence port 150, an additional cold air inlet can be added on top of the cold air blown by the fan to the DIMM supported in the server tray 200, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect on the DIMM. Specifically, utilizing the principle that the pressure is lower at the location of the higher flow velocity in a fluid, the air velocity inside the windshield 100 and server tray 200 is high and the pressure is low, while the external cold air velocity is low and the pressure is high. Under the action of pressure, the external cold air will flow along the second manifold 150 into the space inside the windshield 100 and server tray 200. Moreover, the second manifold 150 is tilted opposite to the DIMM supported in the server tray 200, and the cold air entering along the second manifold 150 is directly blown to the DIMM, completing the heat dissipation of the DIMM.

[0057] Furthermore, the second inclined surface is located behind the first inclined surface in the front-to-back direction, and the lower inclined edge of the second inclined surface is lower than the lower inclined edge of the first inclined surface in the vertical direction. A second confluence channel 160 is provided between the second inclined surface and the rear end face of the windshield 100. The second confluence channel 160 is flush with the lower inclined edge of the second inclined surface. The second confluence channel 160 can guide external cold air to flow into the second confluence port 150. By setting a second confluence channel 160 that is flush with the lower slope of the second inclined surface, external cold air enters the second confluence port 150 along the second confluence channel 160. Moreover, the height of the second confluence channel 160 is lower than that of the first confluence channel 140. The second confluence channel 160 is located behind the first confluence channel 140 in the front-back direction. This ensures that the external cold air is confluent into the second confluence channel 160 without affecting the confluence of the first confluence channel 140. This avoids the competition between the first confluence channel 140 and the second confluence channel 160 when confluencing external cold air. Furthermore, this arrangement of the first confluence channel 140 and the second confluence channel 160 results in a simple structure and a higher overall aesthetic appeal.

[0058] Furthermore, in this embodiment, to facilitate subsequent differentiation of the number of CPUs and DIMMs installed within the server chassis 1000, a CPU marking area 180 and a DIMM marking area 190 are provided on the upper surface of the windshield 100. The CPU marking area 180 is marked with the number and type of CPUs, and the DIMM marking area 190 is marked with the number and type of DIMMs. Operators can directly obtain the server's product parameters from the CPU marking area 180 and DIMM marking area 190 on the upper surface of the windshield 100 without disassembling the windshield 100 to verify the number and type of CPUs and DIMMs, thus facilitating subsequent server maintenance and repair. It should be noted that, since the number of CPUs and DIMMs supported in the server tray 200 differs, foam or Mylar sheets can be adhered to the bottom of the windshield 100 during actual installation to alter the airflow between the windshield 100 and the server tray 200.

[0059] Specifically, when the CPU and DIMM are supported in the middle area of ​​the server tray 200, foam or Mylar sheets can be glued to both sides below the baffle 100 to seal the space between the baffle 100 and the left and right sides of the server tray 200. This allows cool air to pass only through the middle area between the baffle 100 and the server tray 200, meaning the cool air only passes through the area where the CPU and DIMM are installed, thus improving the heat dissipation effect on the CPU and DIMM. Similarly, when the CPU and DIMM are supported in the left and right areas of the server tray 200, foam or Mylar sheets can be glued to the middle area below the baffle 100 to seal the space between the baffle 100 and the server tray 200. This allows cool air to pass only through the left and right sides between the baffle 100 and the server tray 200, meaning the cool air only passes through the area where the CPU and DIMM are installed, thus improving the heat dissipation effect on the CPU and DIMM.

[0060] Understandably, the above-mentioned placement of foam or Mylar sheet is only for illustrative purposes. The specific placement of foam or Mylar sheet can be adapted according to actual needs, and this embodiment does not impose any specific limitations.

[0061] Example 2

[0062] This embodiment discloses a method for installing a server chassis 1000, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, this server chassis 1000 installation method is applied to the aforementioned server chassis 1000. The specific installation method includes the following steps:

[0063] Place the CPU, DIMM, and hard drive in server tray 200;

[0064] Connect the mounting groove 120 on the side wall of the windshield 100 to the mounting post 220 on the side wall of the server tray 200;

[0065] Press the elastic protrusion 110 away from the side wall of the server tray 200;

[0066] Rotate the windshield 100 around the mounting post 220 in a vertical plane relative to the server tray 200. When the outermost end face of the elastic pressing protrusion 110 abuts against the inner side wall of the server tray 200, stop pressing the elastic pressing protrusion 110 and continue to rotate the windshield 100 around the mounting post 220 in a vertical plane until the upper end face of the windshield 100 is flush with the upper end face of the side wall of the server tray 200.

[0067] The server housing 1000 installation method uses the aforementioned server housing 1000 to install and fix the windshield 100 to the server tray 200. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient. No additional bolts or other fasteners are required, saving installation space in the server tray 200.

The fan is located at the front end of the server housing 1000 and blows cool air onto the CPU, DIMM, and hard disk to dissipate heat. This server, by using the server housing 1000 to fix the fan shield 100 to the server tray 200, has a simple structure, is easy to install, requires no additional bolts or other fasteners, and saves installation space in the server tray 200.
