Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server assembly, and more particularly to a server chassis and an edge server. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence, more and more AI devices are being used, and the requirements for the stability, reliability, and maintainability of these devices are increasing. Servers are a common carrier for AI devices, and edge servers are small servers that move the computing power of a central point closer to the user. Edge servers are hardware that performs data computation at the network endpoint (or "edge"). Like ordinary servers, edge servers can provide computing, networking, and storage functions.

[0003] Currently, in the application of passively cooled edge servers, the chassis cover usually dissipates heat by contacting the chips on the circuit board with thermal pads. The thermal pads have strong adhesion and a certain degree of elasticity, making it difficult to open and close the server cover, which is not conducive to installation and maintenance. There are usually locating pins between the cover and the base for guiding installation. When the cover is forcibly opened by both hands, a certain angle will be generated, which will cause the locating pins to break. Summary of the Invention

[0072] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific examples and the accompanying drawings.

[0073] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this invention.

[0074] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the stated features. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified. Furthermore, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" should be interpreted broadly; for example, they may refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they may refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they may refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they may refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0075] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a server chassis, specifically including the following structure:

[0076] A chassis base 1, on which several circuit boards 5 are mounted;

[0077] In this embodiment, the circuit board 5 can be fixed to the chassis base 1 using screws or slots, for example, fixed to the top or side of the chassis base. When there are multiple circuit boards, they can be placed side by side or layered. It should be noted that the fixing method between the circuit board 5 and the chassis base 1 is not limited to the methods listed above, and other existing fixing methods for circuit boards are also suitable for the present invention.

[0078] The chassis cover 2 is fitted onto the chassis base 1;

[0079] In the specific implementation process, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the chassis base 1 and chassis top cover 2 are assembled with screws, which can be on the side, bottom, or top. The chassis base and chassis top cover can also be assembled using snap-fit ​​methods, such as a snap-fit ​​on one side and a slot on the other. It should be noted that the way the chassis top cover 2 and chassis base 1 are joined is not limited to the implementations listed above; other existing joining methods are also applicable to this invention.

[0080] The assisting component 3 is fixed to the side wall of one of the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2, and is configured to move up and down relative to the side wall.

[0081] In this embodiment, Figure 1 This illustrates that the assist component 3 is fixed to the chassis base 1. For those skilled in the art, referring to... Figure 1 The structure also allows it to be fixed to the top cover 2 of the chassis. Figure 1 For ease of understanding only, and should not be construed as limiting the invention. In specific implementation, since the circuit board usually contains important electronic components, such as central processing units or other chips, in order to avoid moving the circuit board 5, the assist component 3 is preferably set on the chassis base 1, so that the component driven to move is the chassis top cover 2, thereby effectively preventing damage to the components and improving the safety of opening and closing the chassis.

[0082] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the solution of the present invention, at least one side of the front and rear sides of the chassis base 1 and the chassis cover 2 are open to facilitate the rotation assist component.

[0083] Support component 4 is fixed to the other of the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2, and is configured to engage with the assist component 3 so that when the assist component 3 moves up and down, it drives the other of the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2 to move in the opposite direction relative to the assist component 3.

[0084] In this embodiment, Figure 1 The diagram shows the support component 4 fixed to the chassis cover 2. For those skilled in the art, referring to... Figure 1 The structure also allows it to be fixed to the chassis base 1. Figure 1 This is for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. In specific implementations, the support component 4 is preferably disposed on the upper cover 2 of the chassis.

[0085] In this embodiment, to facilitate understanding of the principle behind the assisted opening and closing, the following will be used as an example. Figure 1Taking the illustrated structure as an example, the assisting component 3 rotates along the plane on the side of the chassis base 1, thus creating vertical movement. When the assisting component 3 rotates downward, it drives the supporting component 4 to move upward. At this time, since the supporting component is fixed to the chassis cover 2, it causes the chassis cover 2 to separate from the chassis base 1. When the assisting component 3 rotates upward, it drives the supporting component 4 to move downward. At this time, since the supporting component is fixed to the chassis cover 2, it causes the chassis cover 2 to close with the chassis base 1. The principle is the same when the positions of the assisting component 3 and the supporting component 4 are reversed, and will not be described in detail here.

[0086] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the assisting component 3 and the supporting component 4 are corresponding to each other. Each assisting component 3 has its corresponding supporting component 4. For example, one or more pairs of assisting components 3 and supporting components 4 can be set on the same side of the chassis base 1, or one or more pairs of assisting components 3 and supporting components 4 can be symmetrically set on both sides of the chassis base 1.

[0087] In this embodiment of a server chassis, by adding an assisting component and a supporting component to the chassis base and chassis cover respectively, the chassis cover and chassis base can be quickly separated or closed by rotating the assisting component during installation and disassembly, realizing mechanical assistance in opening and closing the chassis, making the operation more convenient and labor-saving, and helping to improve assembly efficiency.

[0088] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the assisting component 3 includes a rotating shaft 31 and an assisting rod 32;

[0089] The rotating shaft 31 is disposed on the side wall of the other of the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2, and rotates relative to the plane of the side wall;

[0090] In the specific implementation process, the assist rod 32 can be set outside the chassis or inside the chassis. In order to avoid accidental activation, it is preferred to set the assist rod 32 inside the chassis.

[0091] One end of the assist rod 32 is provided with a first engaging structure 33 for engaging with the support component 4, and the middle part of the assist rod 32 is fixed on the rotating shaft 31.

[0092] In some embodiments, please refer again Figure 5 As shown, the distance between the middle part and the first engaging structure 33 is less than the distance between the middle part and the other end of the assist rod 32.

[0093] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 31 of the assist rod 32 is preferably located at the far end of the operating end, thereby increasing the lever arm and thus requiring less effort during operation.

[0094] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the support component 4 includes a support rod 41 and a second engaging structure 42;

[0095] The two ends of the support rod 41 are fixed to the surface of the chassis base 1 near the chassis top cover 2, or the two ends of the support rod 41 are fixed to the surface of the chassis top cover 2 near the chassis base 1.

[0096] The second engaging structure 42 is fixed to the support rod 41 and engages with the first engaging structure 33.

[0097] In this embodiment, the engagement of the first engaging structure 33 and the second engaging structure 42 can be achieved based on the principle of interlocking concave and convex regions. For example, in a specific implementation, the end of the assist rod can be hollowed out to form a concave shape, which is the first engaging structure 33, and the bottom of the arched support rod 41 can be integrally formed into an L-shape, which is the second engaging structure 42. In the engaged state, the bottom of the L-shape extends into the concave shape. It should be noted that the shapes of the first engaging structure 32 and the second engaging structure 42 can be interchanged and are not limited to each other. Figure 5 The present invention applies to other existing snap-fit ​​shapes as shown.

[0098] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 5 As shown, the support rod 41 is arched.

[0099] In some embodiments, the distance from the second engaging structure 42 to the two ends of the support rod 41 is equal.

[0100] The arched support rod used in this embodiment can make the components fixed by the support components more evenly stressed and less prone to deformation, making the opening and closing of the chassis cover and chassis base smoother.

[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, both the assisting component 3 and the supporting component 4 adopt a symmetrical structure.

[0102] This embodiment achieves uniform stress distribution on the chassis top cover and chassis base by symmetrically arranging assisting and supporting components on both sides of the chassis, making it less prone to deformation and requiring less effort.

[0103] In some embodiments, please continue to refer to Figure 6 The assistive component 3 shown also includes a U-shaped telescopic rod 34 and a hand-turning screw 35;

[0104] Both the assist component 3 and the support component 4 are located inside the enclosed area formed by the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2;

[0105] The two assist rods 32 are hollow inside, and the two ends of the U-shaped telescopic rod 34 are respectively inserted into the two assist rods 32, or the two ends of the U-shaped telescopic rod 34 are hollow, and the two assist rods 32 are respectively inserted into the two ends of the U-shaped telescopic rod 34.

[0106] The hand-operated screw 35 is provided on the U-shaped telescopic rod 34 and is used to cooperate with the screw hole opened on the chassis base 1 or chassis cover 2 to fix the U-shaped telescopic rod 34.

[0107] In this embodiment, on the one hand, the use of a U-shaped telescopic rod can greatly facilitate user operation. Simply lifting or pressing down the U-shaped telescopic rod can achieve the closing and separation of the chassis top cover and chassis base. On the other hand, using hand-turned screws to fix the U-shaped telescopic rod can avoid accidental contact and help to lock the chassis top cover and chassis base after closing.

[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the assist component 3 also includes a torsion spring 36:

[0109] One end of the torsion spring 36 is fixed to the assist rod 32, and the other end is fixed to the component to which the assist rod 32 is fixed.

[0110] In the specific implementation process, in order to facilitate understanding and... Figure 1 To illustrate the situation, in order to ensure that the chassis cover and chassis base are normally in a closed state, a torsion spring 36 can be used to keep the assist rod 32 always in an upward trend, which facilitates the engagement and assembly of the first engagement structure and the second engagement structure.

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the chassis cover 2 is provided with heat dissipation protrusions 21 that are adapted to the height of each board 5, and a thermal pad 6 is provided between the heat dissipation protrusions 21 and the corresponding board 5.

[0112] In practical implementation, the present invention has more advantages for scenarios using thermal pads. Since thermal pads have strong adhesion and elasticity, the force required to separate the chassis cover and chassis base in this scenario is greater. However, the operation is more labor-saving and convenient with the help of the assisting and fixing components of the present invention.

[0113] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 As shown, the chassis base 1 and the chassis top cover 2 are respectively provided with positioning pins 22 and positioning holes (not shown in the figure) at the contact positions.

[0114] In practice, the positioning hole and the positioning pin 22 can be aligned. Figure 1The diagram shows the positioning pins installed on the chassis top cover 2. Positioning holes can be installed at corresponding positions on the chassis base. The principle is the same for installing positioning pins 22 on the chassis base, and will not be elaborated further. Furthermore, it should be noted that the number of positioning pins 22 and positioning holes can be determined based on the shape of the chassis base 1 and chassis top cover 2. For example, for a common rectangular server chassis, four positioning pins 22 can be installed at the four corners of the chassis top cover, and correspondingly, four positioning holes can be installed at the four corners of the chassis base.

[0115] In some embodiments, the assist rod 32 is driven to rotate by a motor (not shown in the figure), and a button (not shown in the figure) for controlling the operation of the motor is provided on the outside of the server chassis.

[0116] Preferably, the buttons may include buttons for controlling the upward rotation of the booster lever 32, buttons for controlling the downward rotation of the booster lever 32, buttons for controlling the rotation speed of the booster lever 32, etc.

[0117] This embodiment, by setting a motor to drive the assist rod 32 to rotate, can completely avoid manual operation of the assist rod, making the movement and force of the assist rod more stable and balanced, and the operation more convenient.

[0118] In yet another embodiment, for ease of understanding, this embodiment uses... Figure 6 Taking the symmetrical structure of the auxiliary rod 21 and support rod 41 shown, and the auxiliary rod 32 fixed on the chassis base 1 and the support rod 41 fixed on the chassis top cover 2 as an example, the working principle of each structure and the whole of the server chassis of the present invention will be described in detail below:

[0119] When in use, the U-shaped telescopic rod 34 can extend outwards, press down to open the cover, and lift up to press the top cover 2 of the chassis tightly;

[0120] In the assembled state, the chassis top cover 2 and the chassis base 1 are assembled with screws and the screws are tightened.

[0121] The heat dissipation protrusion 21 is welded to the top cover 2 of the chassis. Different boards have different heights, corresponding to heat dissipation protrusions 21 of different heights.

[0122] The positioning pin 22 is fixed on the upper cover 2 of the chassis and serves as a guide and positioning function when the cover is closed.

[0123] The board 5 is fixed on the chassis base 1, which can be done with screws. The side of the chassis cover 2 away from the chassis base 1 can be equipped with a heat sink structure to solve the heat dissipation of the components on the board 5.

[0124] The heat dissipation protrusion 21 is in contact with the board 5 through the thermal pad 6, which has a certain degree of stickiness and elasticity.

[0125] The rotating shaft 31 is fixed to the chassis base 1, ensuring reliable strength.

[0126] The support rod 41 is fixed to the chassis cover 2 by screws and is symmetrically distributed, so that the chassis cover 2 is evenly stressed by the four points.

[0127] The assist rod 32 is fixed to the rotating shaft 31 by rivets and can rotate. The center of rotation is close to the force point of the support rod 41 of the upper cover 2 of the chassis. According to the lever principle, it can save more effort.

[0128] A torsion spring 36 is mounted on the other side of the assist rod 32. The torsion spring 36 keeps the assist rod in an upward trend, which facilitates the engagement and assembly of the assist rod with the support rod of the chassis cover 2.

[0129] The U-shaped telescopic rod 34 can be inserted into the assist rod 32 to achieve telescopic movement;

[0130] The hand-turned screw 35 is riveted to the U-shaped telescopic rod 34. After the whole machine is closed, it can be locked to the upper cover 2 of the chassis for fixing the entire power assist component.

[0131] This embodiment of a server chassis uses a combination of assistive and support components to open and close the top cover: during installation, the top cover can be quickly installed in place by lifting the U-shaped telescopic rod, improving assembly efficiency; during disassembly, the top cover can be quickly opened by pressing down the U-shaped telescopic rod, which is convenient and labor-saving while avoiding damage to the circuit boards and chassis positioning pins.

[0137] This embodiment provides an edge server that, by adding an assisting component and a supporting component to the chassis base and chassis cover respectively, allows the chassis cover and chassis base to be quickly separated or closed by rotating the assisting component during installation and disassembly.
