Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of servers, in particular to a server reinforcement structure and a server thereof. Background Art

[0002] A server is a specific IT device that provides computing power and runs software applications in a network environment. It provides computing or application services to other clients in the network. Generally speaking, servers have the ability to respond to service requests, provide services, and guarantee services. Compared with ordinary computers, servers have high-speed CPU computing power; long-term reliable operation capabilities; powerful I / O data throughput capabilities and high scalability. As an electronic device, the internal structure of the server is very complex. The main components of the server are: CPU, memory, chipset, I / O devices, storage, peripherals, voltage regulator, power supply and cooling system.

[0003] Servers are precision equipment. If they are hit or subjected to continuous vibration, they may damage internal components or connection circuits, affecting normal use. The server reinforcement structure can provide protection for the server to a certain extent. Reinforced servers are designed to provide reliable services in extreme environments or special conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, high humidity, vibration, electromagnetic interference, etc. They are usually deployed in the military, aerospace, industrial control and other fields. Reinforced servers have many advantages, such as higher stability and adaptability.

[0004] The reinforcement structure of the server generally uses a thicker metal shell as support to provide protection for the server. This type of reinforcement structure itself is simple in structure and mainly uses the hardness of the material to provide protection. While protecting and reinforcing, it will not cause the size of the server to increase excessively, thereby reducing the demand for installation space and the difficulty of carrying. However, this type of structure that uses metal plates to directly wrap and reinforce generally does not have enough space inside for shock absorption and buffering. When encountering external impact or continuous vibration, this impact may still act on the server itself through the shell, and even cause the internal precision parts to malfunction or poor contact, making the reinforcement structure unable to provide sufficient protection. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a server reinforcement structure and a server thereof to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. A server reinforcement structure is proposed that can effectively reduce shock and buffer in a limited space, provide sufficient protection for the server, and improve the anti-seismic effect.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A server reinforcement structure and its server, comprising a shell and a server; a server is placed inside the shell, and a cover plate is fixedly connected to the shell; a buffer protection structure wrapping the corner of the shell is respectively arranged at each corner of the shell, the buffer protection structure comprises a support column and a connecting seat, the connecting seat is fixedly installed on the corner of the cover plate, the support column is slidably installed at the corner of the shell, and the length of the support column is greater than the thickness of the shell; mutually symmetrical buffer grooves are respectively opened in the areas where the support column fits on both sides of the shell, a support rod inserted into the buffer groove is installed on the connecting seat, a shock absorbing structure is installed in the buffer groove, and the support rod is snap-connected with the shock absorbing structure; a groove is opened on the support column at a position fitting the surface of the shell, a plurality of primary springs are installed in the groove, the primary spring is connected to a sliding sleeve, a vertically protruding sliding bar is installed on the surface of the shell, and the sliding sleeve is sleeved on the sliding bar.

[0008] As a further solution of the present invention: the shock absorbing structure includes a damper installed in a buffer groove, a support plate is installed on the damper, a secondary spring is sleeved on the outside of the damper, the secondary spring is connected to the support plate, a positioning hole is opened on the support plate, and the support rod is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: a vertical limit ring is arranged on the support plate, a limit block is placed horizontally in the limit ring, a limit groove is opened on the limit block, the support rod passes through the limit groove, and a clamping groove is opened on one side of the support rod at a position corresponding to the limit groove in the support rod, and one side of the limit block is clamped in the clamping groove.

[0010] As a further solution of the present invention: a magnetic conductor is connected to one side of the limit block close to the middle area of ​​the support column, a three-stage spring is connected to the side of the magnetic conductor away from the limit block, and the three-stage spring is connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: a vertical slide groove is opened in the middle of the support column, and an arc-shaped permanent magnet is slidably installed in the slide groove. The two ends of the permanent magnet respectively point to the buffer grooves located on both sides of the support column, and the permanent magnet passes through the slide groove to connect to the push plate located outside the slide groove.

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: a positioning plate surrounding the server is fixedly installed inside the shell, a plurality of wavy heat conducting plates are vertically installed inside the cover plate, and a heat transfer plate is connected to one side of the heat conducting plate that is in contact with the surface of the server.

[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: an air duct surrounding the server is arranged between the shell and the positioning plate, and a front chamber is arranged at the operable end of the server, the air duct is connected to the front chamber, and an exhaust fan is installed at the connection between the air duct and the front chamber.

[0014] As a further solution of the present invention: the gap between the cover plate and the server is not connected to the front chamber, and a plurality of filter windows are installed on one end of the cover plate close to the front chamber.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] By adopting the above-mentioned server reinforcement structure and its server, the device sets a connecting seat at each corner of the cover plate, and sets a support column at each corner of the shell. In fact, the shell is not directly supported by the support column, but through the connection between the shell and the cover plate, the weight of the shell is pressed on the connecting seat, and then connected to the support column through the support rod, so that the shell is in a suspended state and can obtain the shock-absorbing buffering of the shock-absorbing structure inside the support column. The support column and the connecting seat are both in a semi-wrapped shape, so when they are hit by the external sharp corners, their own deformation can achieve a protective effect. In a vibrating environment, the buffer protection structure achieves effective buffering and shock absorption of the inside of the shell without excessively increasing the overall size, which can provide more adequate protection for the server and improve the safety and stability of the server.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 8 In an embodiment of the present invention, a server reinforcement structure and a server thereof include a shell 1 and a server 3; the server 3 is placed inside the shell 1, and a cover plate 11 is fixedly connected to the shell 1; buffer protection structures 2 that wrap the corners of the shell 1 are respectively provided at each corner of the shell 1, and the buffer protection structure 2 includes a support column 21 and a connecting seat 22, the connecting seat 22 is fixedly installed on the corner of the cover plate 11, the support column 21 is slidably installed at the corner of the shell 1, and the length of the support column 21 is greater than the thickness of the shell 1; the support column 2 1 symmetrical buffer grooves 215 are respectively opened in the areas that fit on both sides of the shell 1, and a support rod 23 inserted into the buffer groove 215 is installed on the connecting seat 22, and a shock absorbing structure 4 is installed in the buffer groove 215, and the support rod 23 is connected with the shock absorbing structure 4 by snapping; a groove 214 is opened at a position that fits the surface of the shell 1 on the support column 21, and a plurality of primary springs 24 are installed in the groove 214, and the primary springs 24 are connected to the sliding sleeve 25, and a vertically protruding sliding bar 18 is installed on the surface of the shell 1, and the sliding sleeve 25 is sleeved on the sliding bar 18.

[0029] The device is provided with a support column 21 on the outside of the shell 1, and a connection seat 22 is provided on the edge of the cover plate 11. The shell 1 and the cover plate 11 are used to wrap the server 3 located inside, and provide the server 3 with protection in terms of impact resistance, waterproofness, and dustproofness. The support column 21 outside the shell 1 does not directly provide support for the shell 1. The shell 1 in the device is suspended on the cover plate 11, and is supported by the connection seats 22 located at each corner, and the connection seats 22 are connected to the support column 21 through the support rod 23 and the shock absorbing structure 4, so as to provide support for the entire device.

[0030] In a very limited space, the device leaves enough height space for the buffer protection structure 2 and the shock absorbing structure 4, so that the device has a good buffering effect. Under the action of external impact or vibration, it can better release energy, reduce impact damage, and protect the server 3 to a greater extent.

[0031] The support rod 23 is inserted into the buffer groove 215, is stuck by the shock absorbing structure 4, and can vibrate up and down in a small range under the action of the shock absorbing structure 4. When the cover plate 11 needs to be opened, it is only necessary to release the connection between the shell 1 and the cover plate 11, and untie the connection between the shock absorbing structure 4 and the support rod 23, and then it can be directly removed. When installing, the support rod 23 on the cover plate 11 is inserted into each buffer groove 215, and then the shell 1 and the cover plate 11 are connected to complete the installation. The disassembly and assembly process of this device is simple and will not cause too much extra workload, so it is also very convenient to use. A detachable fixed connection is used between the shell 1 and the cover plate 11 in this device. The connection method can use screws to fix the corresponding parts, or use a lock on the side for installation, etc. The specific connection method is not limited.

[0032] The primary spring 24 located in the groove 214 on both sides of the support column 21 cooperates with the sliding sleeve 25 to buffer the impact from the side of the shell 1. At the same time, the connection between the sliding sleeve 25 and the sliding bar 18 ensures a stable connection between the support column 21 and the shell 1.

[0033] As another embodiment of the present invention, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The shock absorbing structure 4 includes a damper 41 installed in the buffer groove 215, a support plate 43 is installed on the damper 41, a secondary spring 42 is sleeved on the outside of the damper 41, the secondary spring 42 is connected to the support plate 43, a positioning hole 432 is opened on the support plate 43, and the support rod 23 is inserted into the positioning hole 432. The damper 41 is used to release impact energy, the secondary spring 42 is used to buffer vibration, and the support rod 23 is inserted into the positioning hole 432. The front end of the support rod 23 is in a cone shape. Through the cooperation with the positioning hole 432, the position of the support rod 23 is accurately positioned. Under the premise that the specific insertion situation cannot be observed during the operation, the installation position of the support rod 23 can be made more accurate with the assistance of the positioning hole 432.

[0034] See also Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The support plate 43 is provided with a vertical limiting ring 431, and a limiting block 45 is placed horizontally in the limiting ring 431. A limiting groove 451 is provided on the limiting block 45, and the support rod 23 passes through the limiting groove 451. A clamping groove 231 located on one side of the support rod 23 is provided in the support rod 23 at a position corresponding to the limiting groove 451, and one side of the limiting block 45 is clamped in the clamping groove 231. The limiting ring 431 is used to limit the sliding track of the limiting block 45. The support rod 23 passes through the limiting groove 451, and the limiting block 45 moves to one side and is clamped in the clamping groove 231 on the support rod 23, which is used to fix the position of the support rod 23. When the housing 1 needs to be removed, the limiting block 45 is moved again, and the support rod 23 can be pulled out normally.

[0035] See also Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , a magnet 46 is connected to one side of the limit block 45 near the middle area of ​​the support column 21, and a three-stage spring 44 is connected to the side of the magnet 46 away from the limit block 45, and the three-stage spring 44 is connected to the inner wall of the buffer groove 215. The three-stage spring 44 is used to support the limit block 45, so that the limit block 45 has a tendency to actively embed into the card slot 231. The side of the limit block 45 embedded in the groove 214 uses an inclined surface, which can make the limit block 45 better cooperate with the support rod 23 without causing the problem that the support rod 23 cannot be inserted. The magnet 46 can be made of iron or other materials that can be attracted by the permanent magnet 212, and is used to guide the sliding of the limit block 45.

[0036] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6A vertical slide groove 211 is opened in the middle of the support column 21, and an arc-shaped permanent magnet 212 is slidably installed in the slide groove 211. The two ends of the permanent magnet 212 point to the buffer grooves 215 located on both sides of the support column 21 respectively. The permanent magnet 212 passes through the slide groove 211 and is connected to the push plate 213 located outside the slide groove 211. The slide groove 211 is located between the two buffer grooves 215, and the permanent magnet 212 can slide up and down. In the normal state, the permanent magnet 212 is located at the lowest point under the action of its own gravity. Since the position is lower than the position of the support plate 43, it will not generate attraction with the magnet 46. When the shell 1 needs to be removed, the permanent magnet 212 is lifted to the highest point by the push plate 213, and the friction resistance between the push plate 213 and the permanent magnet 212 itself and the slide groove 211 is used to keep the permanent magnet 212 at a certain height or slowly slide down. Then, the shell 1 is pulled out upward, and the support rod 23 moves up synchronously, driving the support plate 43 until it passes the position of the permanent magnet 212, the magnet 46 is adsorbed, and the limit block 45 moves horizontally, so that the support rod 23 is completely located in the limit groove 451, and the support rod 23 can be smoothly pulled out. There is no restriction on the installation method of the permanent magnet 212. It is only used as a demonstration of a reasonable structure. In addition to setting a longer slide groove 211 so that the permanent magnet 212 is located at the bottom of the slide groove 211 in the normal state, the push plate 213 can also be set to a structure with screws or other fasteners, and only a shorter slide groove 211 is set at a high place, so that the permanent magnet 212 is suspended at a high place in the normal state and only falls when in use. Although this will increase the complexity of the structure, it can reduce the opening on the surface of the support column 21, increase the strength, and avoid the problem that the permanent magnet 212 may naturally slide during use.

[0037] See also Figures 2 to 4 A positioning plate 14 surrounding the server 3 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1, and a plurality of wavy heat conducting plates 112 are vertically installed inside the cover plate 11. A heat transfer plate 113 is connected to one side of the heat conducting plate 112 that is in contact with the surface of the server 3. The positioning plate 14 is used to limit the position of the server 3 and fix the server 3. The heat conducting plate 112 and the heat transfer plate 113 on the cover plate 11 cooperate to press on the surface of the server 3 to strengthen the fixation of the server 3. At the same time, a gap is left between the cover plate 11 and the server 3 to help dissipate heat.

[0038] See also Figures 2 to 4An air duct 16 surrounding the server 3 is provided between the shell 1 and the positioning plate 14. The shell 1 is provided with a front chamber 15 at the operable end of the server 3. The air duct 16 is connected to the front chamber 15. An exhaust fan 17 is installed at the connection between the air duct 16 and the front chamber 15. The air duct 16 surrounds the server 3. Exhaust fans 17 are installed on both sides of the front chamber 15. The exhaust fan 17 extracts air from the inside of the shell 1. The gas enters from the cover plate 11, passes through each heat conducting plate 112, enters the air duct 16, surrounds the server 3, and is discharged from the front chamber 15. Through the internal airflow, the effect of improving the heat dissipation of the server 3 is achieved, avoiding the problem of heat dissipation difficulties caused by excessive wrapping of the conventional reinforced server 3, or insufficient protection due to too many heat dissipation areas.

[0039] See also Figures 1 to 4 The gap between the cover plate 11 and the server 3 is not connected to the front chamber 15, and a plurality of filter windows 111 are installed on one end of the cover plate 11 close to the front chamber 15. The airflow area on the cover plate 11 does not pass through the front chamber 15 in order to limit the trajectory of the airflow. Under the action of negative pressure, the external gas passes through the filter window 111 and enters the gap between the cover plate 11 and the server 3, and moves along the surface of the server 3 to achieve the effect of heat dissipation. The filter window 111 is located on the surface of the cover plate 11 for easy observation and cleaning.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 4 An operation panel 12 is movably mounted in the area of ​​the shell 1 corresponding to the front chamber 15. The operation panel 12 is provided with a wiring groove 121, which is connected to the edge of the operation panel 12. The shell 1 is provided with handle rings 13 on both sides of the operation panel 12. The operation panel 12 can be flexibly controlled to be opened or closed. Since the shell 1 of the device wraps the server 3, when it is necessary to operate the wiring or buttons on the surface of the server 3, it is necessary to open the operation panel 12. The operation panel 12 is very convenient to use. Since the wiring groove 121 is provided on the surface of the operation panel 12, the wiring can be connected to the outside through the wiring groove 121, which can protect the internal structure to the maximum extent. The front chamber 15 area can be used for exhaust and wiring, and it also leaves space for the plug. The external handle ring 13 is used to operate the device to be pulled out horizontally or to be carried to move the device.

[0041] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0042] In this device, a server 3 is placed inside a shell 1, a cover plate 11 is fixedly connected to the shell 1, a connection seat 22 is installed on each corner of the cover plate 11, a support column 21 is slidably installed on each corner of the shell 1, a symmetrical buffer groove 215 is opened on the support column 21, a shock absorbing structure 4 is installed in the buffer groove 215, a support rod 23 inserted into the buffer groove 215 is installed on the connection seat 22, and the support rod 23 is connected to the shock absorbing structure 4. The connection seat 22 and the support column 21 provide protection for the cover plate 11 and each corner of the shell 1, reducing impact damage, and the support column 21 provides support for the connection seat 22, and effectively achieves the buffering and shock absorbing effect without excessively increasing the overall volume, reducing the damage caused by impact and vibration, and providing sufficient protection for the server 3.
