[0002] To ensure high server speed, strong data throughput, and reliable long-term operation, higher requirements are placed on server cable layout design. The cable layout within a server not only affects its internal structure but also its operational performance. A disorganized cable layout can result in a cluttered and disorganized overall system appearance, make the cable structure incompatible with the server structure, lead to difficulties in production and installation, hinder efficiency, and may also obstruct airflow and affect the insertion and removal of sub-modules.

[0003] Current cable layouts are typically done by engineers manually adjusting the cable layout point by point and segment by segment based on their experience. This cabling method is inefficient and has limited scope for evaluating cabling methods that can be implemented within a preset time, resulting in less than ideal cabling results, such as excessively long cable lengths, poor aesthetics, and difficulty in disassembly and assembly.

[0051] The embodiments of this application have the following beneficial effects:

[0052] 1. The method provided in this application for obtaining the internal structure diagram of a server uses the maximum rectangle envelope method to simplify the initial internal structure diagram to obtain a simplified internal structure diagram. The starting surface in the simplified internal structure diagram is designated as the first wall surface, and extension walls are selected sequentially according to the wiring wall surface order. Any point in the first wall surface is designated as the starting node. The extension is carried out sequentially along the extension wall surface in combination with the starting node and the predetermined extension direction until the termination node in the termination wall surface is reached. Then, the coordinates of each node are calculated and extended sequentially until the termination node in the termination wall surface is reached. By simplifying the structure diagram, the wall surface that needs to be wired is specified on the simplified diagram. The extension is carried out sequentially through the nodes to the termination node. All nodes are flexibly connected sequentially using connectors to form a complete cable layout path, thereby efficiently obtaining the optimal cable layout path in the server to be laid out.

[0053] 2. By specifying the coordinates of the cable's start and end points, and then selecting the walls along which the cabling will run in sequence, the cable will preferentially run along these walls. In the actual structure, cable management brackets can be placed on these walls to organize and manage the network cables.

[0054] 3. After obtaining the cable layout path, it can be determined whether the cable layout path is the optimal path. If it is not the optimal path and the layout line has excessively long wiring lengths, and if it is necessary to use different wiring schemes for comparison, then it is only necessary to redefine the wall or change the wall order and then output a new cable layout path.

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0063] Current cable layout methods typically involve manual adjustments by staff, point by point, based on past experience. This approach is inefficient, has limited scope for evaluating cabling options within a given timeframe, and is prone to issues such as excessively long cables, cable stacking, impaired heat dissipation, and difficulty in assembly and disassembly. To address these problems, this application proposes an automated cable layout method, system, electronic device, and medium.

[0064] Example 1

[0065] An automated cable layout method, applied to internal server cabling, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0066] Step S1: Obtain an initial diagram of the server's internal structure, and simplify the initial diagram to obtain a simplified diagram of the internal structure.

[0067] In one specific embodiment, the process of obtaining a simplified internal structure diagram from the initial simplified server internal structure diagram specifically includes:

[0068] The initial internal structure diagram is obtained, and the simplified internal structure diagram is obtained by using the maximum rectangle envelope method; wherein the simplified internal structure diagram is placed in the system absolute coordinate system.

[0069] like Figure 2 The diagram shown is a general initial diagram of the internal structure of a server. It clearly shows the components and connection ports included in the unsimplified internal structure diagram. The principle of maximizing the envelope size of the local structure is used to obtain the minimum rectangular space occupied by each structural component; as shown... Figure 3The diagram shown is a simplified model of the server. This model is placed in an absolute coordinate system. The maximum length, width, and height of the complex components relative to the coordinate system are the simplified rectangular envelope dimensions. The simplified model can extract internal wiring space and nodes with minimal resources, and simplify and rationalize the wiring path to the greatest extent. The simplified internal structure diagram completely covers the internal structural features of the server, so that wiring within the wiring space will not cause interference.

[0070] Step S2: Designate the starting surface in the simplified internal structure diagram as the first wall surface, and select the extension walls in sequence according to the wiring wall surface order.

[0071] like Figure 4 As shown, the simplified internal structure diagram obtained in step S1 is placed in the system's absolute coordinate system. The starting wall is designated as the first wall for the required wiring. Then, the following sequence is followed: determine the extension direction from the first wall—calculate the bending node—calculate the extension node—extend to the next extension wall. The entire extension calculation process is carried out in the system's absolute coordinate system, and the coordinates of each extension node are calculated sequentially.

[0072] Step S3: Designate any point in the first wall as the starting node, and extend it sequentially to the extension wall in combination with the starting node and the predetermined extension direction until it reaches the termination node in the termination wall.

[0073] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, specify the coordinates of the cable's starting point on the first wall surface, and select the extension walls sequentially according to the wiring order. The cable will preferentially run along these walls, specifically including:

[0074] S101: Specify any point in the first wall as the starting node, and obtain the coordinates of the starting node;

[0075] S102: Calculate the coordinates of the next bending node based on the coordinates of the starting node and the predetermined extension direction;

[0076] S103: Calculate the coordinates of the next extension node based on the coordinates of the bending node;

[0077] S104: Take the extended node as the new starting node, and repeat steps S102 to S103 to calculate other nodes until the extension reaches the termination node.

[0078] The predetermined extension direction is determined by the normal unit vector of the first wall and the normal unit vector of the second wall that extends sequentially; and the extension node extends in a straight line relative to the starting node.

[0079] Define the position coordinates N of the starting point start(x1, y1, z1) is the starting node, which is located on the first wall.

[0080] In one specific embodiment, the step is based on the coordinates N of the starting node. start The formula for calculating the coordinates of the next bend node based on (x1, y1, z1) and the predetermined extension direction is as follows:

[0081] L1=|N start ·a|+R (1)

[0082] L2=|N start ·b|+R (2)

[0083] Where L1 is the length extended along the unit vector a; L2 is the length extended along the unit vector b; N start For N start (x1, y1, z1) represents the coordinates of the starting point; a is the normal unit vector of the first wall; b is the normal unit vector of the second wall; R is the minimum bending radius of the cable; M1 is the coordinates of the next bend node;

[0084] M1 relative to N is calculated using formulas (1) and (2). start The relative positions of (x1, y1, z1) are determined, and the coordinates of the remaining directions are kept unchanged, so that the coordinate values ​​of the three points of M1 can be calculated.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, the coordinates of the next extension point M2 are obtained based on the coordinates of M1. M2 extends in a straight line relative to M1, meaning there is only a relative distance in the direction of the normal unit vector b of the second wall. Taking any point Q1 on the plane containing the second wall, the distance between M1 and Q1 in the direction of the unit vector b, minus the bending radius of the cable, gives the extension length. The formula for calculating the coordinates of the next extension point based on the coordinates of the bending node is as follows:

[0086] |M1-M2|=|(M1-Q1)·b|-R (3)

[0087] Where M1 is the coordinate of the next bend node; Q1 is any point on the second wall; b is the normal unit vector of the second wall; and R is the minimum bending radius of the cable.

[0088] The coordinates of M2 are calculated using the above formula. Steps S102 to S103 are repeated to calculate other nodes until the endpoint is reached.

[0089] In one specific embodiment, the termination point can be set by the user. Those skilled in the art can select the termination wall according to the wiring space required for routing, and specify any point in the termination wall as the termination node.

[0090] Step S4: Calculate the coordinates of each node and flexibly connect all nodes in sequence to obtain the cable layout path.

[0091] In one specific embodiment, all nodes are flexibly connected sequentially from the starting node to the ending node using a connector based on the coordinates of each node; specifically, the starting node is used as the starting connector head position, extending to the connector ending node N. end The coordinates of each node are calculated, and then each node is flexibly connected in the order of extension to obtain the cable layout path. Furthermore, the simplified model diagram can extract the internal wiring space and nodes with minimal resources, and simplify and rationalize the path to the greatest extent.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, after obtaining the cable layout path, the method further includes: determining whether the cable layout path is the optimal path;

[0093] If so, then directly output the cable layout path;

[0094] If not, then re-specify the starting wall or modify the wiring wall order, and re-output the cable layout path.

[0095] The solution in this embodiment simplifies the server's internal structure diagram to obtain a simplified internal structure diagram. Then, using the extension method described in this embodiment, the extension is calculated according to the shortest path and a predetermined extension direction to achieve automatic point placement. Finally, a complete cable layout path is formed by sequentially connecting the points. Furthermore, after obtaining the cable layout path, it can be determined whether the cable layout path is the optimal path. If it is not the optimal path, and the layout line has excessively long cable lengths, and if it is necessary to compare different cabling schemes, then it is only necessary to redefine the wall layout or change the wall layout order and output a new cable layout path.

[0107] The predetermined extension direction is determined by the normal unit vector of the first wall and the normal unit vector of the second wall that extends sequentially; and the extension node extends in a straight line relative to the starting node.

[0108] In a specific embodiment, the formula for calculating the coordinates of the next bend node based on the coordinates of the starting node and the predetermined extension direction is as follows:

[0112] M1 relative to N is calculated using formulas (1) and (2). start Given the relative position of (x1, y1, z1), and keeping the remaining directional coordinates unchanged, calculate the coordinates of M1.

[0113] In one specific embodiment, the formula for calculating the coordinates of the next extension node based on the coordinates of the bending node is as follows:

[0114] |M1-M2|=|(M1-Q1)·b|-R (3)

[0115] Where M1 is the coordinate of the next bend node; Q1 is any point on the second wall; b is the normal unit vector of the second wall; and R is the minimum bending radius of the cable.

[0116] In one specific embodiment, the system further includes a custom module for customizing the position of the termination node; the connection module is specifically used to flexibly connect all nodes from the starting node to the termination node sequentially according to the coordinates of each node through a connector.

[0117] In one specific embodiment, the system further includes a layout module, which is used to determine whether the cable layout path is the optimal path; if so, the cable layout path is directly output; if not, the starting wall is re-specified or the wiring wall order is modified, and the cable layout path is re-output.
