Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the computer field, and specifically, to a PCIE card module mechanism and a server. Background Art

[0002] The PCIE (peripheral component interconnect express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) plug-in card module is an important part of the server system, and is responsible for the transmission and calculation of system data. The server system needs to maintain and replace PCIE cards regularly. The PCIE plug-in card module is usually fixed with screws to the whole system. This traditional screw fixing structure design method requires the use of tools such as screwdrivers to disassemble and assemble the various components of the PCIE plug-in card module. The disassembly and assembly is inconvenient, the operation efficiency is low, and there is a risk of touching the PCIE card and causing damage to it. Some solutions adopt a design mechanism for tool-free maintenance of the card pressing parts, which specifically adopts a single-side fixed locking method. On the one hand, it causes the other side to be easily lifted up, the fixation is not firm, and there is a problem of unstable operation of the PCIE card. On the other hand, there are design weaknesses such as high cost, cumbersome operation, and inability to automatically return to the original position. In addition, when the existing PCIE card vacant slot baffle is designed, the baffle is usually not fixed firmly enough, it is easy to fall off during vibration transportation, and the disassembly operation is not friendly.

[0036] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0037] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meanings as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0038] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity directions; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above-mentioned directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0039] In order to solve the problem of inconvenient assembly and disassembly of PCIE plug-in card modules in the related art, an embodiment of the present application provides a PCIE card module mechanism and a server.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 11A PCIE card module mechanism shown includes a frame 10 detachably installed in a chassis 90, a locking piece 20 connected to the chassis 90, and a rotating handle 30. When the frame 10 is installed in the chassis 90, it docks with the locking piece 20; the rotating handle 30 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 and has a locking position and an unlocking position. The rotating handle 30 also has a locking structure 31 for locking with the locking piece 20. When the rotating handle 30 is in the locking position, the locking structure 31 is locked with the locking piece 20 and locks the frame 10 on the chassis 90. When the rotating handle 30 is in the unlocking position, the locking structure 31 is separated from the locking piece 20, and the frame 10 can be removed from the chassis 90.

[0041] In this embodiment, a locking member 20 is provided on the chassis 90, and a rotating handle 30 is provided on the frame 10. The rotation of the rotating handle 30 can change the locking cooperation relationship between it and the locking member 20, so that when the frame 10 is installed on the chassis 90, it is only necessary to place the frame 10 at the corresponding position so that the locking structure 31 of the rotating handle 30 is aligned with the locking member 20, and then rotate the rotating handle 30 to form a locking cooperation relationship between the locking structure 31 and the locking member 20. In this way, the frame 10 can be locked on the chassis 90 through the locking cooperation relationship between the locking structure 31 and the locking member 20; and when disassembly is required, it is only necessary to rotate the rotating handle 30 in the opposite direction so that the locking cooperation relationship between the locking structure 31 and the locking member 20 is released, and the frame 10 can be removed from the chassis 90. The above-mentioned setting method does not require the setting of screws and other components. When installing and disassembling, it only needs to turn the rotating handle 30, which makes the entire disassembly process convenient and quick, and improves the working efficiency. In addition, since the rotating handle 30 is turned during operation, the accidental touching of the PCIE card to cause damage to the fan is reduced. In addition, the overall structure is simple and the cost is low, which realizes the requirements of tool-free, low-cost and high reliability, and improves the overall maintenance application performance of the PCIE card module.

[0042] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the locking member 20 includes a locking recess 21, the locking structure 31 is a locking protrusion, and the opening of the locking recess 21 is not toward the rotation center of the rotating handle 30, that is, the locking recess 21 is located on the side of the locking member 20, that is, Figure 1In the embodiment, the rotating handle 30 is located above the locking member 20, and the locking recess 21 is located at the left and right sides of the locking member 20. At this time, the opening of the locking recess 21 is facing horizontally, so that when the rotating handle 30 is rotated, the locking protrusion can approach and extend into the locking recess 21, until the rotating handle 30 is rotated to the locked position, the locking protrusion is located in the locking recess 21, and abuts against the inner wall surface of the locking recess 21, that is, the upper surface of the locking recess 21, so that the cooperation between the locking protrusion and the locking recess 21 can prevent the frame 10 from moving in the direction of leaving the chassis 90, so that the frame 10 is locked on the chassis 90.

[0043] The locking member 20 of this embodiment is essentially engaged with the rotating handle 30 by a claw-type plug-in fit. Specifically, the locking member 20 is a pin structure as a whole, which includes a small diameter section and a large diameter section connected in axial sequence, wherein the diameter of the small diameter section is smaller than the diameter of the large diameter section, and the large diameter section is closer to the frame 10 than the small diameter section, that is, the large diameter section is located above the small diameter section, so that a concave portion is naturally formed on the circumferential side surface of the small diameter section, which is the locking concave portion 21, and at the same time, a step surface is naturally formed between the large diameter section and the small diameter section, which is the inner wall surface of the locking concave portion 21, that is, the upper surface. Correspondingly, the bottom end of the rotating handle 30 has a bent and connected extension section 32, and the extension direction of the extension section 32 is non-parallel to the axial direction of the locking member 20. The end of the extension section 32 has a groove 33. Due to the setting of the groove 33, the side of the groove 33 naturally forms a protruding part, and the protruding part is the locking structure 31. In this way, when the rotating handle 30 is switched to the locking position, the groove 33 gradually approaches the small diameter section. Until the rotating handle 30 is rotated to the locking position, the small diameter section is located in the groove 33, and the locking structure 31 is located in the locking recess 21. At this time, the locking structure 31 can abut and cooperate with the step surface at the small diameter section to achieve the limitation of the disassembly of the frame 10.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, since the small diameter section and the large diameter section of this embodiment are coaxially arranged, a ring-shaped locking recess 21 is substantially formed between the circumferential side surfaces of the small diameter section. At the same time, considering the connection stability between the locking member 20 and the chassis 90, the locking member 20 of this embodiment also includes a connecting section, which is also a section with a diameter larger than the small diameter section, and is located at one end of the small diameter section away from the large diameter section. The connecting section is connected to the chassis 90, so that the locking member 20 can be stably installed and fixed on the chassis 90, ensuring that the locking effect of the locking member 20 is stable and reliable.

[0045] Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned setting method, a groove 33 in the shape of a square groove or the like can also be directly opened on the side of the locking piece 20 as the locking recess 21. In this case, the locking recess 21 can only cover a partial circumferential position. At the same time, the locking structure 31 can be set as a bent protrusion. By rotating the rotating handle 30 so that the protrusion extends into or out of the groove 33, the locking matching relationship between the rotating handle 30 and the locking piece 20 can be changed, thereby realizing the installation and disassembly of the frame 10. Compared with the setting method of the present embodiment, the above method needs to ensure that the locking structure 31 and the locking groove 33 are more accurately aligned when the frame 10 is installed, and the locking member 20 needs to be fixedly connected to the chassis 90, and needs to be integrally formed or welded. On the one hand, the locking member 20 of the present embodiment only needs to be roughly aligned with the locking structure 31 and the locking recess 21 due to the aforementioned setting form, so the accuracy required for alignment is reduced, and the locking member 20 can be rotatably inserted into the chassis 90, and the locking member 20 and the chassis 90 can be connected by simple methods such as pins, thereby making the installation, connection, and disassembly of the locking member 20 easier.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the PCIE card module mechanism further includes a guide sleeve 40, which adopts a sleeve-shaped structure, is connected to the frame 10, and is arranged at the position where the locking structure 31 of the rotating handle 30 is located. The guide sleeve 40 has a guide through hole, and the guide through hole is for the locking member 20 to pass through. In this way, when the frame 10 is docked with the chassis 90, the locking member 20 is passed through the guide sleeve 40 by controlling the position of the frame 10, so that on the one hand, the installation position of the frame 10 is positioned to ensure the accuracy and stability of the installation position of the frame 10, and avoid the situation where the components are damaged due to misalignment. On the other hand, during operation, the position of the frame 10 is relatively fixed through the cooperation between the guide sleeve 40 and the locking member 20, so that the frame 10 is prevented from moving at will, and the locking operation is ensured to be carried out smoothly. Of course, in addition to the positioning method using the guide sleeve 40, other forms of positioning can also be set up, such as setting a positioning column and a positioning hole between the frame 10 and the chassis 90 separately, and extending the positioning hole into the positioning column to achieve accurate installation position of the frame 10 on the chassis 90.

[0047] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the PCIE card module mechanism also includes a reset member 50, which abuts against the rotating handle 30 and provides a reset force for the rotating handle 30 to rotate to the locked position. Since the rotating handle 30 of this embodiment adopts a rotating connection method, the reset member 50 of this embodiment adopts a torsion spring, which is sleeved at the rotating connection between the rotating handle 30 and the chassis 90, and its two ends abut against the chassis 90 and the rotating handle 30 respectively, so that the rotating handle 30 is always kept in the locked position under the drive of the reset member 50 when not operated, on the one hand, automatic reset and automatic locking can be achieved, and on the other hand, the situation of accidental unlocking caused by server vibration can be avoided, and the locking fit is stable and reliable. Of course, in addition to the torsion spring, the reset member 50 can also adopt a linear spring, which can abut against the side of the rotating handle 30 in the length direction, thereby providing a rotation force for the rotating handle 30, so that the rotating handle 30 can be automatically switched and kept in the locked position.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, in the present embodiment, the frame 10 has a stop structure, and the stop structure is located on the rotation path of the rotating handle 30. The stop structure can adopt structures such as convex ribs as needed. The main function of the stop structure is to control the rotation range of the rotating handle 30, so as to avoid the rotating handle 30 from rotating too far, so that when the rotating handle 30 is rotated to the locked position or the unlocked position, the rotating handle 30 abuts against the stop structure, thereby preventing the rotating handle 30 from continuing to rotate.

[0049] Considering that the positions of the rotating handle 30 include a locked position and an unlocked position, the stop structure of the present embodiment includes a first stop structure 11 and a second stop structure 12, wherein the first stop structure 11 and the second stop structure 12 are respectively located on opposite sides of the rotating handle 30, so that when the rotating handle 30 is rotated in two directions, it can respectively cooperate with the first stop structure 11 and the second stop structure 12 for stop limiting, that is, when the rotating handle 30 is rotated to the locked position, it abuts against the first stop structure 11, and when the rotating handle 30 is rotated to the unlocked position, it abuts against the second stop structure 12. In this way, it can be ensured that the rotating handle 30 can only rotate within a range, ensuring stability and reliability. Of course, the first stop structure 11 and the second stop structure 12 can also be selectively provided with only one of them as needed.

[0050] In this embodiment, the frame 10 has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, and the locking member 20 is located on the second side. The first side and the second side in this embodiment refer to the locking cooperation relationship between the frame 10 and the chassis 90, that is, the side of the frame 10 that is locked by the cooperation between the rotating handle 30 and the locking member 20 is the second side, and the other side opposite to the first side is the first side. Figure 1In the direction, the upper side of the frame 10 is the first side, and the lower side is the second side. The end of the rotating handle 30 located on the first side has a locking structure 31, thereby achieving a locking fit with the locking member 20 on the first side. In order to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating handle 30, this embodiment is provided with an avoidance recess 13 on the second side, and the end of the rotating handle 30 located on the second side is located in the avoidance recess 13, so that the rotating handle 30 can rotate smoothly, avoiding interference between the rotating handle 30 and the frame 10 and affecting the unlocking operation. It should be noted that, considering the convenience of operation, this embodiment designs the rotating handle 30 to have a certain length, so as to facilitate personnel to operate. Of course, in addition to the above method, the size of the handle can also be adjusted accordingly, and the size of the handle can be designed to be smaller, so as to avoid interference with the frame 10.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, optionally, considering the convenience of operation, this embodiment further provides an operating recess 34 for a person to reach in on the side of the rotating handle 30, more specifically, on the side parallel to the length direction. The setting of the operating recess 34 conforms to the operating habits, which is convenient for the operator to reach his hand into the operating recess 34 to drive the rotating handle 30 to rotate.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the rotating handle 30 of this embodiment is provided with a rotating hole in the middle area. Correspondingly, the frame 10 has a connecting column 14, which can be fixed by riveting, welding or screw connection, and the length of the connecting column 14 is greater than the length of the rotating hole. In this way, when the rotating handle 30 is installed, the rotating hole can be sleeved on the outside of the connecting column 14. Since the length of the connecting column 14 is relatively long, a part of the connecting column 14 can extend out of the rotating hole. At the same time, the PCIE card module mechanism also includes a fastener 60. The fastener 60 can be a nut, a screw or other component, and can be connected to the connecting column 14 by means of a thread, so that after the fastener 60 and the connecting column 14 are tightened, the fastener 60 can abut against the end face of the rotating hole. Since the diameter of the fastener 60 is greater than the diameter of the rotating hole, the rotating hole is fixed on the connecting column 14, so that the rotating hole cannot fall out, thereby achieving the effect of installing the rotating handle 30 on the frame 10. In order to ensure that the rotating handle 30 can rotate smoothly, the diameter of the rotating hole in this embodiment is set to be larger than the diameter of the connecting column 14, so that an interference fit is formed between the rotating hole and the connecting column 14, so that the rotating handle 30 can rotate smoothly relative to the connecting column 14 to avoid jamming.

[0053] Preferably, the rotating handle 30 of this embodiment is configured as an integrated plastic part, which is lighter and less expensive than a conventional sheet metal part. Of course, the rotating handle 30 may also be configured as a sheet metal part.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the frame 10 includes a first frame portion and a second frame portion, and the first frame portion and the second frame portion are butt-jointed to form a receiving area for receiving components. The frame 10 has a front end and a rear end relative to each other. It should be noted that the front end and the rear end mentioned here are not inconsistent with the first side and the second side mentioned above. The first side and the second side mentioned above are substantially Figure 1 The upper and lower sides of the middle frame 10, and the front end and rear end mentioned here refer to the left and right ends of the frame 10, and the front end is the end facing the personnel when the personnel face the server, and the rear end is the end away from the personnel. The rotating handle 30 is located at the front end, and the PCIE card module mechanism also includes a shielding member 70 and a pressing member 80, and the shielding member 70 and the pressing member 80 are both located at the rear end. The chassis 90 is usually provided with mounting structures such as bayonet, and the rear end of the PCIE card module mechanism, that is, the rear end of the frame 10 is usually placed directly at the bayonet, and the shape of the bayonet is used to limit the fixing of the rear end of the frame 10. In this way, the locking between the front rotating handle 30 and the locking member 20 makes it impossible for the frame 10 to move up and down, thereby fixing the frame 10 in the chassis 90. During installation, the frame 10 is tilted as a whole, the rear end of the frame 10 is inserted into the bayonet, and then the front end is placed downward so that the locking member 20 is inserted into the positioning sleeve, and then the rotating handle 30 is rotated to make the locking structure 31 and the locking member 20 lock and fit together, so that the frame 10 can be installed and fixed in the chassis 90.

[0055] In order to install components such as PCIE cards on the frame 10, the frame 10 of this embodiment has installation ports for installing components, and the number of installation ports is set to multiple, so as to meet the installation requirements of different numbers of components. In actual use, not all installation ports are installed with components, and there is often a situation where only some components are installed. At this time, the remaining installation ports are not installed with components and are in an empty state. At the same time, the installation holes are also in an empty state during transportation. Therefore, the PCIE card module mechanism of this embodiment also includes a shielding member 70, which is detachably arranged at the installation port. For the installation port where no components are installed, the shielding member 70 can shield the part of the installation port, which plays a certain protective and stabilizing role.

[0056] like Figures 6 to 8As shown, in this embodiment, the installation opening adopts a long strip structure, and accordingly, the shielding member 70 also adopts a long strip structure, so as to ensure the shielding effect of the installation opening. The shielding member 70 includes a first end and a second end along the length direction, the frame 10 has a socket, the first end is plugged into the socket, and the second end has a limiting structure 71 that cooperates with the frame 10, and the limiting structure 71 cooperates with the frame 10. In this way, the first end of the shielding member 70 cooperates with the frame 10 through the plug-in socket, and the second end cooperates with the frame 10 through the limiting structure 71, so that both ends of the shielding member 70 cooperate with the frame 10, so as to achieve the fixing of the two ends of the shielding member 70. In this way, the overall fixing of the shielding member 70 is more firmly, avoiding the situation of falling off due to factors such as vibration during use and transportation, and ensuring the safety and stability of use.

[0057] It should be noted that the connection direction between the first side and the second side, the connection direction between the front end and the rear end, and the length direction of the shielding member 70 installed at the installation opening of this embodiment are perpendicular to each other.

[0058] like Fig.10 As shown, the shielding member 70 of this embodiment includes a shielding section and a bending section. The shielding section extends along the length direction of the shielding member 70, and cooperates with the installation port as the main part of the shielding member 70, while the bending section is located at the second end of the shielding section and is bent and connected with the shielding section. In this way, the bending section can limit the position of the shielding member 70 to a certain extent. When the shielding member 70 is installed on the frame 10 along the length direction, when the shielding member 70 moves to the right position, the side of the bending section abuts against the frame 10, so that the shielding member 70 is installed in place. Of course, the shielding member 70 can also adopt other structural forms, such as only setting the shielding section.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first end of the shielding member 70 can be directly plugged into the socket of the frame 10. In this way, the plugging can only make the shielding member 70 and the frame 10 initially fixed, and cannot achieve complete fixation. Therefore, in this embodiment, a second end of the shielding member 70, that is, a bending section is provided with a limiting protrusion that is bent again. The limiting protrusion is bent relative to the bending section, so that the extension direction of the limiting protrusion is not perpendicular to the movement direction of the first end plugged into the frame 10. This embodiment adopts The limiting protrusion is arranged parallel to the length direction of the shielding member 70, that is, the moving direction of the first end inserted into the frame 10. The limiting protrusion serves as a limiting structure 71. Accordingly, the frame 10 has a through hole, so that when the first end of the shielding member 70 is inserted into the socket, the limiting protrusion naturally extends into the through hole to achieve a limiting fit with the frame 10, thereby preventing the shielding member 70 from moving in a direction perpendicular to the insertion into the frame 10, thereby achieving the effect of stably installing the shielding member 70 on the frame 10. When the limiting protrusion extends into the through hole, a part of the limiting protrusion will extend through the through hole. At this time, the through part can be bent, so that the bent part abuts against the edge of the through hole, thereby achieving the effect of stably and reliably fixing the shielding member 70.

[0060] In an embodiment not shown in the figure, the limiting structure 71 adopts a limiting groove 33, and a convex column is arranged on the frame 10. When the shielding member 70 is installed on the frame 10, the convex column is located in the limiting groove 33. At this time, the end of the convex column is impacted, so that the end of the convex column is deformed and the diameter increases, so that the convex column and the limiting groove 33 are limitedly matched. Although this embodiment can also achieve the effect of installing the shielding member 70 on the frame 10, due to the poor stability of the matching form between the convex column and the limiting groove 33, it is still possible to fall out during transportation and use. Therefore, it is preferred to adopt the setting method of the limiting protrusion of this embodiment.

[0061] like Figures 6 to 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the PCIE card module mechanism further includes a pressing member 80, which is movably connected to the frame 10 and is located at the second end of the shielding member 70. The pressing member 80 has a shielding position that prevents the shielding member 70 from being separated from the frame 10 and a avoiding position that avoids the removal of the shielding member 70. In this way, when the shielding member 70 needs to be installed, the pressing member 80 is switched to the avoiding position, so that the shielding member 70 can be installed to the installation opening along the length direction. After the shielding member 70 is installed in place, the pressing member 80 is switched to the blocking position. At this time, the pressing member 80 can hinder the reverse movement of the shielding member 70, so that the shielding member 70 cannot move in the reverse direction. With the cooperation between the first end and the socket, and the cooperation between the limiting protrusion and the through hole at the second end, the shielding member 70 can be stably and reliably installed on the frame 10.

[0062] like Fig. 9and Fig.10 As shown, the pressing member 80 of this embodiment is rotatably connected to the frame 10, and the pressing member 80 and the frame 10 are rotatably connected by setting a rotating shaft. A deformable claw structure 81 is also provided on the pressing member 80. Since the claw structure 81 adopts a cantilever structure, it can be deformed to a certain extent. Accordingly, the frame 10 has a convex structure 15, and the convex structure 15 protrudes from the surface of the frame 10. When the pressing member 80 switches between the blocking position and the avoidance position, due to the action of external force, the claw structure 81 will pass through the convex structure 15, and the claw structure 81 will be deformed due to the blocking of the convex structure 15, thereby passing over the convex structure 15 to achieve position switching. After the position switching is completed, the convex structure 15 has a stopping effect on the claw structure 81. In the absence of external force, the claw structure 81 cannot pass over the convex structure 15, so that after the pressing member 80 switches to the blocking position, it can be maintained in the blocking position due to the abutment between the convex structure 15 and the claw structure 81, thereby preventing the pressing member 80 from moving to the avoidance position.

[0063] like Fig.10 As shown, in this embodiment, two claw structures 81 are provided, and claw structures 81 are provided at both ends of the pressing member 80 in the length direction. Therefore, both ends of the pressing member 80 can be limited by the cooperation of the claw structure 81 and the convex structure 15, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of the pressing member 80 and avoiding the problems of the lower end PCIE card or baffle being easily lifted up, not firmly fixed, and unstable operation of the PCIE card caused by one end of the pressing member 80 being pressed and fixed while the other end is not fixed.

[0064] The clamping member 80 of this embodiment has a first rotating shaft 82 and a second rotating shaft 83. The first rotating shaft 82 is located at the end area of ​​the side of the clamping member 80 parallel to the length direction, and the second rotating shaft 83 is located at the middle area of ​​the same side of the clamping member 80. The clamping member 80 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 through the first rotating shaft 82 and the second rotating shaft 83. In this way, the first rotating shaft 82 and the second rotating shaft 83 are located at the end and the middle position, respectively, so that the rotation of the clamping member 80 is more stable, and it can also ensure that the clamping member 80 can stably remain in the shielding position when it rotates to the shielding position. When switching positions, a larger force is required to drive the clamping member 80 to rotate, so as to achieve a stable and reliable effect of the clamping member 80.

[0065] like Fig.11As shown, in this embodiment, the surface of the shielding member 70 facing the inner side of the frame 10 has a protrusion 72 for operation, and the protrusion 72 protrudes from the surface of the shielding member 70. In this way, when removing the shielding member 70, after the operator rotates the pressing member 80 to the avoidance position, the shielding member 70 can be driven to separate from the frame 10 by turning the protrusion 72, thereby achieving stable removal of the shielding member 70, avoiding the situation where the hand touches the surface of the shielding member 70 and causes sliding and inconvenience in removal, so that the operator can reliably move the shielding member 70, improving the ease of installation operation. Of course, the protrusion 72 can also be omitted, and the surface of the shielding member 70 can be set to a plane. In this case, the operator can directly operate the surface of the shielding member 70 to drive the shielding member 70 to move.

[0066] This embodiment also provides a server, including a chassis 90 and the above-mentioned PCIE card module mechanism, the chassis 90 has an installation position for installing the PCIE card module mechanism, the PCIE card module mechanism is detachably arranged at the installation position of the chassis 90, and a locking member 20 is fixedly connected at the installation position so as to cooperate with the rotating handle 30.
