Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of data processing equipment, and in particular to a wind control component and a server. Background Art

[0002] Some servers include two removable electronic devices, which are stacked in the chassis of the server. Since the server generates a lot of heat when it is working, it is necessary to use a fan to cool the server. When one of the two removable electronic devices is removed from the chassis, the other removable electronic device can still work normally. However, a blank space will be formed at the location where the removable electronic device is removed from the chassis, which will cause the original flow field in the chassis to change, affecting the heat dissipation of the removable electronic device. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to provide a wind control component and a server that can maintain a better heat dissipation effect.

[0004] The embodiment of the present application provides a wind control member, comprising a wind control plate, a matching portion and an extension portion. The wind control plate extends along a first direction. Two matching portions are arranged on the wind control plate at intervals along the first direction. The extension portion is slidably arranged on the wind control plate and / or the matching portion along the first direction, and at least a portion of the extension portion can extend out of the wind control plate along the first direction.

[0005] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, the wind control member is used for a server, and the server is provided with at least two slots, and the removable electronic device can be selectively arranged in the slot. The wind control member can be selectively arranged at the opening of the removable electronic device or the slot. When the wind control member is arranged on the removable electronic device, the matching portion is connected to the removable electronic device of the server to keep the position of the wind control member stable. The extension portion is in a retracted state so that the length of the wind control member along the second direction is kept at the shortest. The airflow can stably pass through the removable electronic device under the guidance of the wind control plate. When the wind control member is arranged at the opening of the slot, the wind control plate is in an upright state, the matching portion extends into the slot of the server, and the extension portion moves in a direction away from the wind control plate so that the extension portion is in an extended state and abuts against the slot wall of the slot to keep the position of the wind control member stable, and the opening of the slot is blocked by the wind control plate and the extension portion, so as to prevent the airflow from flowing freely in the blank space and reduce the generation of backflow, so as to maintain the stability of the fan-driven airflow for heat dissipation of the removable electronic device.

[0006] In at least one embodiment, the wind control plate is provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove is located at the end of the wind control plate, the extension portion is slidably disposed in the sliding groove along a first direction, and at least partially can extend out of the sliding groove.

[0007] In the wind control piece of the above embodiment, the extension part slides along the sliding groove, thereby controlling the dimension of the extension part extending out of the sliding groove to adjust the length of the wind control piece along the first direction, so that the wind control piece can be located in the slot and can cooperate with the two slot walls spaced apart along the first direction of the slot.

[0008] In at least one embodiment, the sliding groove has a first part and a second part that are interconnected, the first part and the second part are arranged along a first direction, and at least a part of the height of the first part is less than the height of the second part, so that a limiting wall is formed at the intersection of the first part and the second part. The extension portion includes a baffle and a block, the baffle is slidably matched with the first part, and at least a part of it can be accommodated in the second part or extend out of the first part, the block is arranged on the baffle and located in the second part, and the block can abut against the limiting wall to prevent the baffle from leaving the sliding groove.

[0009] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, the block abuts against the limiting wall, so that the extension part can be prevented from being directly pulled out of the sliding groove, and the assembly of the extension part and the wind control plate can be reduced.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, a guide surface is provided on one side of the block in a sliding direction of the extension portion.

[0011] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, through the guide surface on the block, a component force along the third direction will be generated during the process of inserting the block into the first part along the second direction. Under the action of this component force, the block can easily extend into the second part and can abut against the limiting wall.

[0012] In at least one embodiment, the first part has a tightening area and a connecting area both connected to the second part, the tightening area and the connecting area are arranged in sequence along the second direction, the height of the tightening area is less than the height of the connecting area, the height of the connecting area is equal to the height of the second part, and the intersection of the tightening area and the second part forms the limiting wall. The baffle includes a connecting block and a tightening block, the connecting block is connected to the tightening block, the clamping block is arranged on the tightening block, the connecting block is slidably arranged on the connecting area and the second part, and the tightening block is slidably arranged on the tightening area.

[0013] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, by setting the height of the connecting area to be equal to the height of the second portion, the connecting block can slide more stably.

[0014] In at least one embodiment, the extension portion further includes a handle, and the handle is disposed at an end of the baffle away from the wind control plate, and the thickness of the handle is greater than the height of the sliding groove.

[0015] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, the user can pull out the extension part by operating the handle to make the extension part in an extended state or push the extension part back, and make the handle abut against the side wall of the wind control plate to make the extension part in a retracted state. In addition to facilitating the movement of the extension part, the handle can prevent the extension part from being completely retracted into the sliding groove because the thickness of the handle is greater than the height of the sliding groove, making it difficult to pull the extension part out of the sliding groove or the extension part is detached from the sliding groove.

The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0094] Some embodiments of the present application provide a wind control member, including a wind control plate, a matching portion, and an extension portion. The wind control plate extends along a first direction, and the wind control plate is configured to be able to be laid flat or erected. When the wind control plate is in a laid-flat state, it is used to guide the flow of air, and when the wind control plate is in an erected state, the wind control plate is used to block the flow of air. The matching portion is disposed on the wind control plate, and is used to connect with a removable electronic device when the wind control plate is in a laid-flat state. The extension portion is slidably disposed on the wind control plate and / or the matching portion along the first direction, and is at least partially able to extend out of the wind control plate, and is used to block the airflow when the wind control plate is in an erected state.

[0095] In the wind control member of the above embodiment, the wind control member is used for a server, and the server is provided with at least two slots, and the removable electronic device can be selectively arranged in the slot. The wind control member can be selectively arranged at the opening of the removable electronic device or the slot. When the wind control member is arranged on the removable electronic device, the matching portion is connected to the removable electronic device of the server to keep the position of the wind control member stable. The extension portion is in a retracted state so that the length of the wind control member along the second direction is kept at the shortest. The airflow can stably pass through the removable electronic device under the guidance of the wind control plate. When the wind control member is arranged at the opening of the slot, the wind control plate is in an upright state, the matching portion extends into the slot of the server, and the extension portion moves in a direction away from the wind control plate so that the extension portion is in an extended state and abuts against the slot wall of the slot to keep the position of the wind control member stable, and the opening of the slot is blocked by the wind control plate and the extension portion, so as to prevent the airflow from flowing freely in the blank space and reduce the generation of backflow, so as to maintain the stability of the fan-driven airflow for heat dissipation of the removable electronic device.

[0096] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0097] See also Figure 1 In order to more clearly describe the technical solutions of each embodiment of the present application, Figure 1 A coordinate system is established in the figure, and the subsequent description of various positions of the server 100 is based on the coordinate system, see Figure 1 , the first direction X extends along the X-axis, and the width direction of the server 100 is parallel to the first direction X. The second direction Y extends along the Y-axis, and the length direction of the server 100 is parallel to the second direction Y. The third direction Z extends along the Z-axis, and the height direction of the server 100 is parallel to the third direction Z. The third direction Z is perpendicular to the plane formed by the first direction X and the second direction Y. In the description of this application, the terms "above", "below", "upward", and "downward" are all relative to the third direction Z.

[0098] It can be understood that the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z in the present application are all bidirectional directions. For example, the third direction Z includes both an upward direction and a downward direction.

[0099] The descriptions of directions in this application are all based on the illustrations. In actual use, if the server 100 changes its placement direction due to maintenance or storage, the corresponding direction should also be changed.

[0100] It is understandable that the directions corresponding to the length, width, and height of the server 100 of the present application are only for the convenience of description and do not represent the scope of protection.

[0101] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3 One embodiment of the present application provides a server 100, and the server 100 is used to store data, process data, run programs, etc. The server 100 includes but is not limited to a storage server, a file server, a printing server, an application database server, a Web server, etc. The server 100 of the present application is introduced by taking a storage server as an example. The server 100 includes a chassis 10, a removable electronic device 20 and a wind control member 30. The removable electronic device 20 is arranged in the chassis 10, and the wind control member 30 is connected to the removable electronic device 20 for guiding airflow or connected to the chassis 10 to block airflow. The server 100 includes two removable electronic devices 20. The two removable electronic devices 20 have the same structure and can work independently and are used to transmit data to a storage device (not shown in the figure) of the server 100. By setting up two removable electronic devices 20, when one of the removable electronic devices 20 breaks down or is damaged, the broken or damaged removable electronic device 20 can be unplugged and the other removable electronic device 20 can continue to work, which will not affect data transmission and can reduce the occurrence of data loss.

[0102] Please refer to Figure 4The chassis 10 includes a top plate 10a, a bottom plate 10b, a side plate 10c, a partition plate 10d, a first back plate 10e and a second back plate 10f. The top plate 10a and the bottom plate 10b are spaced apart along the third direction Z. There are two side plates 10c, which are located between the top plate 10a and the bottom plate 10b. The two side plates 10c extend along the second direction Y and are spaced apart along the first direction X. The first back plate 10e extends along the first direction X and is located between the other two side plates 10c. The second back plate 10f is spaced apart from the first back plate 10e along the second direction Y, and the second back plate 10f is parallel to the first back plate 10e. A storage device 40 is provided between the first back plate 10e and the second back plate 10f. The storage device 40 is integrally supported on the second back plate 10f, and a socket (not shown) of the storage device 40 is provided through the second back plate 10f for connecting with the removable electronic device 20 so as to store data transmitted by the removable electronic device 20. The first back plate 10e is provided with a first vent hole 101e, and the second back plate 10f is provided with a second vent hole 101f so as to facilitate communication between the inside of the housing 10 and the outside.

[0103] The partition 10d is located between the top plate 10a and the bottom plate 10b, and is parallel to the top plate 10a, so that the overall shape of the chassis 10 is rectangular, and the chassis 10 is formed with two slots 11 (slots 11a, 11b), the slots 11a and the slots 11b are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z, and the two slots 11 (slots 11a, 11b) can be connected to each other. Each slot 11 extends along the second direction Y. The removable electronic device 20 can be inserted into the slot 11 along the second direction Y or pulled out along the second direction Y. Whether the removable electronic device 20 is inserted into the slot 11a or the slot 11b, it can be connected to the storage device 40. Each removable electronic device 20 is set in a slot 11.

[0104] Since each removable electronic device 20 can be operated independently, that is, in actual use, it can be Figure 1 The slots 11a and 11b of the server 100 are each provided with a removable electronic device 20, which may also be Figure 2 The slot 11a of the server 100 is provided with a removable electronic device 20, and the removable electronic device 20 of the slot 11b is pulled out from the slot 11b to make the slot 11b vacant. It can be understood that the number of slots 11 is not limited to two, and the number of slots 11 can be determined according to the number of partitions 10d provided, for example, the number of slots 11 can be three, four, five, etc.

[0105] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, Figure 5 (a) is a schematic diagram of a removable electronic device 20. Figure 5(b) is a schematic diagram of the extractable electronic device 20 in which the wind control member 30 is disposed on the extractable electronic device 20 based on (a). Figure 5 (c) is a schematic diagram of adding a housing 26 to (b). Figure 5 (a), the removable electronic device 20 includes a circuit board 21, a processing unit 22, a fan 23, a storage unit 24, an adapter 25 and a housing 26. The processing unit 22, the fan 23, the storage unit 24 and the adapter 25 are all arranged on the circuit board 21. The circuit board 21, the processing unit 22, the fan 23, the storage unit 24 and the adapter 25 are all located in the housing 26. The processing unit 22 is used to process data, and the storage unit 24 is used to temporarily store the data processed by the processing unit 22. The adapter 25 is used to connect with the interface of the storage device 40 to facilitate the transmission of data to the storage device 40. The fan 23 arranged on the circuit board 21 is located in the slot 11 and faces the opening 111 of the slot 11. The fan 23 is used to draw heat dissipation airflow to dissipate heat from the removable electronic device 20. Specifically, the heat dissipation airflow flows from the outside through the opening 111 of the slot 11 along the second direction Y and then flows through the circuit board 21, the storage unit 24, the processing unit 22, so that the removable electronic device 20 dissipates heat as a whole. The housing 26 is used to protect the parts on the circuit board 21 and reduce electromagnetic interference. The housing 26 includes a base 261, a side cover 262, an upper cover 263 and a front cover 264. The base 261 and the upper cover 263 are arranged at intervals along the third direction Z. There are two side covers 262, which are arranged at intervals along the first direction X. The base 261, the upper cover 263 and the side cover 262 enclose a rectangle, and the circuit board 21 and the parts on the circuit board 21 are located in the rectangle. The front cover 264 is arranged between the base 261, the upper cover 263 and the side cover 262, and is located at an end away from the transfer port 25. The front cover 264 is provided with a front air hole 2641 so that air can enter the housing 26 from the front air hole 2641.

[0106] See also Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The wind control member 30 can be selectively disposed on the circuit board 21 or at the opening 111 of the slot 11. Figure 5 (b) and Figure 5As shown in (c), when the wind control member 30 is disposed on the circuit board 21, the wind control member 30 can be installed first, and then the upper cover 263 of the housing 26 can be installed. The processing unit 22 is located in the air flow channel formed by the wind control member 30 and the circuit board 21, so as to dissipate heat for the processing unit 22. One end of the wind control member 30 contacts the fan 23, so as to guide the heat dissipation airflow driven by the fan 23 to flow through the corresponding extractable electronic device 20, so as to cool the extractable electronic device 20. When the wind control member 30 is located at the opening 111 of the slot 11, the wind control member 30 blocks the corresponding slot 11 opening 111, so as to keep the overall airflow inside the two slots 11 stable and reduce the generation of backflow.

[0107] For example, Figure 1 , Figure 5 (b) and (c) and Figure 7 As shown, when both slots 11a and 11b are provided with a removable electronic device 20, the wind control member 30 includes a wind control member 30a and a wind control member 30b, the wind control member 30a is arranged on the circuit board 21 in the slot 11a, and the wind control member 30b is arranged on the circuit board 21 in the slot 12b (not shown in the figure), and the fan 23 located in the slot 11a drives the airflow, which stably passes through the removable electronic device 20 located in the slot 11a under the guidance of the wind control member 30a, and the wind control member 30b guides the airflow to pass through the removable electronic device 20 in the slot 11b so as to cool the removable electronic device 20.

[0108] like Figure 7 As shown, when the slot 11a is provided with a removable electronic device 20 and the slot 11b is not provided with a removable electronic device 20, the wind control member 30a is provided on the circuit board 21. The wind control member 30b is provided at the opening 111 of the slot 11b. Since the partition 10d will easily interfere with other parts (such as the interface of the storage device 40 penetrating the second back plate 10f) when the partition 10d is extended to contact the second back plate 10f, and the partition 10d will hinder the installation of the second back plate 10f, a gap will be left between the partition 10d and the second back plate 10f. Therefore, the slot 11a and the slot 11b will be connected to each other. The wind control member 30a is used to guide the air flow, and the wind control member 30b can block the opening 111 of the slot 11b, blocking the fan 23 of the wind control member a from sucking air. When the external air flow flows in the slot 11b, the change of the air flow field inside the slot 11a can be reduced, so that the fan 23 can stably dissipate heat for the extractable electronic device 20.

[0109] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7is a cross-sectional diagram of the side of the server 100. In the figure, a removable electronic device 20 is provided in the slot 11a, and two wind control members 30a are arranged on the circuit board 21. The slot 11b is not provided with a removable electronic device 20, and the wind control member 30b is arranged at the opening 111 of the slot 11b. A windshield 13 is provided inside each slot 11, and the windshield 13 is rotatably connected to the slot wall of the slot 11, and the rotation axis extends along the first direction X. When the slot 11b is not provided with a removable electronic device 20, the windshield 13 will close the inside of the slot 11 under the action of gravity. When the removable electronic device 20 is inserted into the slot 11a, the adapter 25 of the removable electronic device 20 will push the windshield 13 to rotate upward to open the slot 11, so as to facilitate the insertion of the removable electronic device 20 into the slot 11.

[0110] As described above, the fan 23 of the pull-out electronic device 20 can dissipate heat for heat-generating parts such as the processing unit 21 of the pull-out electronic device 20. When the slot 11a is provided with the pull-out electronic device 20 and the slot 11b is not provided with the pull-out electronic device 20, the interior of the slot 11b is empty, and the wind shield 13 will block the interior of the slot 11b under the action of gravity to prevent the fan 23 in the slot 11a from running. Most of the external air passes through the slot 11b to the fan 23 in the slot 11a, while less external air passes through the slot 11a, the airflow field changes, and less air flows through the pull-out electronic device 20, which affects the cooling of the pull-out electronic device 20.

[0111] Please continue reading Figure 7 , when Figure 7 When the wind control member 30b at the opening 111 of the middle slot 11b is removed, although the wind shield 13 at the slot 11b can block the airflow from the slot 11b to the fan 23 at the slot 11a, since the wind shield 13 needs to rotate, in order to reduce the interference between the wind shield 13 and the slot wall of the slot 11, a gap will be left between the wind shield 13 and the slot wall of the slot 11, resulting in that even if the wind shield 13 is set, part of the airflow will still pass through the slot 11b and flow to the fan 23 at the slot 11a, so that the airflow passing through the slot 11a will be reduced, reducing the heat dissipation effect. Furthermore, the thickness of the wind shield 13 along the second direction Y should also be reasonably designed, not too large or too small. When the thickness of the wind shield 13 at the slot 11b is too large, it will not only increase the weight of the server 100, but also occupy more space of the slot 11 along the second direction Y, affecting the connection of the removable electronic device 20. When the thickness of the windshield 13 is too small, the weight of the windshield 13 is insufficient, and the airflow driven by the fan 23 is likely to blow up the windshield 13, causing the windshield 13 to be unable to block the airflow, and the airflow field in the slot 11 is likely to change, affecting heat dissipation.

[0112] Please continue reading Figure 7When the wind control member 30b is provided at the opening 111 of the slot 11b, the wind control member 30b and the wind shield 13 can effectively prevent the outside air from entering the slot 11b where the removable electronic device 20 is not provided. By providing the wind control member 30b, the thickness of the wind shield 13 can be set smaller, and the wind shield 13 will not be blown up. It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the wind shield 13 may not be provided, and the wind control member 30 may be used to block the wind. In addition, if Figure 7 As shown, when the slot 11b is not provided with a removable electronic device 20, the wind control member 30 on the removable electronic device 20 to be removed for maintenance can be placed at the opening 111 of the slot 11 to block the opening 111, thereby preventing external dust and debris from entering the slot 11. Moreover, since the wind control member 30 can switch between the circuit board 21 and the opening 111 of the slot 11, compared with the design scheme of separately providing an air guide cover on the circuit board 21 and a wind shield cover at the opening 111 of the slot 11, providing the air guide member 30 can not only reduce the number of parts but also improve the convenience of use. In addition, when the removable electronic device 20 is installed in the slot 11 and the opening 111 of the slot 11 is not blocked, there is no need to store the wind control member 30 additionally, thereby reducing the probability of losing the wind control member 30.

[0113] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The wind control member 30 includes a wind control plate 31, a matching portion 32 and an extending portion 33. The wind control plate 31 extends along the first direction X, and the wind control plate 31 is configured to be able to be laid flat or erected. Figure 7 As shown, when the wind control plate 31 is in a flat state, the width of the wind control plate 31 is parallel to the second direction Y. The wind control plate 31 is used to be arranged on the circuit board 21, and an air flow channel is formed between the wind control plate 31 and the circuit board 21 to guide the air flow. Fig. 9 As shown, when the wind control plate 31 is in the erected state, the width of the wind control plate 31 is parallel to the third direction Z, and the wind control plate 31 is used to be arranged at the opening 111 of the slot 11 to block the flow of air. The matching portion 32 is arranged on the wind control plate 31, and is used to connect with the removable electronic device 20 when the wind control plate 31 is in the flat state. The extension portion 33 is slidably arranged on the wind control plate 31 and / or the matching portion 32 along the first direction X, and at least partially can extend out of the wind control plate 31, and is used to block the air flow when the wind control plate 31 is in the erected state.

[0114] For illustrative examples, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8When the wind control member 30a is disposed on the circuit board 21, the wind control plate 31 is in a flat state, and the matching portion 32 is connected to the circuit board 21 to keep the wind control member 30 in a stable position. The extension portion 33 is in a retracted state to keep the length of the wind control member 30 along the second direction Y at the shortest. The airflow can be stably blown toward the removable electronic device 20 under the guidance of the wind control plate 31.

[0115] Since the pull-out electronic device 20 is located in the slot 11a, the width of the slot 11a in the first direction X needs to be set to be larger than the width of the pull-out electronic device 20. When the wind control member 30a is located on the circuit board 21, it is used to guide the airflow of the fan 23 on the pull-out electronic device 20. The length of the wind control member 30a along the first direction X is approximately equal to the width of the circuit board 21 and smaller than the width of the slot 11a, so the extension portion 33 is in a retracted state.

[0116] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 When the wind control member 30b is located at the opening 111 of the slot 11b, the wind control plate 31 is in an upright state, the matching portion 32 extends into the slot 11b, and the extension portion 33 moves away from the wind control plate 31, so that the extension portion 33 is in an extended state and abuts against the slot wall of the slot 11b to keep the wind control member 30 stable in position, and the opening 111 of the slot 11 is blocked by the wind control plate 31 and the extension portion 33, thereby preventing the airflow from flowing freely in the empty space and reducing the generation of backflow, so as to maintain the stability of the airflow driven by the fan 23 to dissipate heat for the extractable electronic device 20.

[0117] When the wind control piece 30b is disposed at the opening 111 of the slot 11b, in the first direction X, the width of the opening 111 is greater than the length of the wind control plate 31, and the extension portion 33 is pulled out along the first direction X to an open state and contact the side wall of the opening 111, so that the wind control piece 30b is adapted to the size of the slot 11, thereby blocking the slot 11b.

[0118] See also Figure 4, each slot 11 is correspondingly configured with two wind control members 30, that is, slot 11a corresponds to two wind control members 30a, and slot 11b corresponds to two wind control members 30b. The two wind control members 30a are both arranged on the circuit board 21 located in the slot 11a, and are arranged along the second direction Y. By arranging the two wind control members 30a, the path for guiding the airflow can be extended, which facilitates the stable reduction of the temperature of the removable electronic device 20. Since the length of the removable electronic device 20 along the second direction Y is greater than the height of the slot 11a along the third direction Z, after the removable electronic device 20 in the slot 11a is pulled out, one of the wind control members 30a on the removable electronic device 20 can be inserted into the opening 111 of the slot 11a. The wind control member 30 can not only guide the airflow, but also block the airflow and reduce the change of the airflow field. One device has two different functions, which can save materials and reduce the weight of the server 100.

[0119] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 Optionally, in some embodiments, the number of the matching parts 32 of each wind control member 30 is two, and the two matching parts 32 are arranged on the wind control plate 31 at intervals along the first direction X. A positioning groove 321 is provided on the side of the matching part 32 away from the wind control plate 31, and a boss (not shown in the figure) is provided on the circuit board 21 of the pull-out electronic device 20. The boss cooperates with the positioning groove 321. When the wind control member 30 is set on the circuit board 21, the boss extends into the positioning groove 321 to keep the position of the wind control member 30 stable.

[0120] Optionally, the number of the positioning grooves 321 of each matching portion 32 is two. When the wind control member 30 is disposed on the circuit board 21, the two positioning grooves 321 are arranged along the second direction Y and staggered in the first direction X, so as to further increase the matching stability. Optionally, the shape of the matching portion 32 is roughly rectangular. When the wind control member 30 is disposed on the circuit board 21, the matching portion 32 is roughly parallel to the plane formed by the second direction Y and the third direction Z. Along the first direction X, the thickness of one side edge of the matching portion 32 provided with the positioning groove 321 is greater than the thickness of the other side of the matching portion 32, so as to increase the contact area with the removable electronic device 20 and thus increase the stability of the wind control member 30.

[0121] Optionally, in some embodiments, the wind control plate 31 has a length, a width and a thickness, and the length direction is parallel to the first direction X. When the wind control plate 31 is in a flat state, the width of the wind control plate 31 extends along the second direction Y, and the thickness of the wind control plate 31 extends along the third direction Z. When the wind control plate 31 is in an upright state, the width of the wind control plate 31 extends along the third direction Z, and the thickness of the wind control plate 31 extends along the second direction Y. The length of the wind control plate 31 corresponds to the width of the slot 11, and the width of the wind control plate 31 corresponds to the height of the slot 11, so that the wind control plate 31 is adapted to the slot 11. When the wind control plate 31 is in a flat state, the lower surface of the wind control plate 31 is in a horizontal state for guiding the airflow, and when the wind control plate 31 is in an upright state, the lower surface of the wind control plate 31 is in a vertical state for blocking the airflow. Optionally, the shape of the wind control plate 31 is rectangular.

[0122] Optionally, in some embodiments, the wind control member 30 further includes a connecting plate 34, which is disposed on the wind control plate 31 and located between the two matching portions 32. The connecting plate 34 is approximately located in the middle of the wind control plate 31, and is used to cooperate with the wind control plate 31 and the matching portion 32 to guide the airflow and improve the accuracy of the airflow. Optionally, a limiting structure that cooperates with the connecting plate 34 may also be provided on the circuit board 21 to further improve the installation accuracy of the wind control member 30. Optionally, the limiting structure may be other structures additionally provided on the circuit board 21, or may be the processing unit 22 or the storage unit 24 of the circuit board 21. Optionally, in some embodiments, the wind control plate 31 is further provided with a groove 312, and the number of the grooves 312 is four, and they are spaced apart along the first direction X. The four grooves 312 are located on opposite sides of the connecting plate 34 in pairs, and can be used to avoid structures on the circuit board 21, such as avoiding the processing unit 22 or the storage unit 24. The groove 312 can also be provided to increase the space formed by the wind control member 30 and the circuit board 21 so as to better dissipate heat.

[0123] Optionally, in some embodiments, the wind control plate 31 is provided with a sliding groove 311, the sliding groove 311 is located at the end of the wind control plate 31, and the extension portion 33 is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 311 along the first direction X, and at least a portion of the extension portion 33 can extend out of the sliding groove 311. Optionally, there are two sliding grooves 311, which are located at both ends of the wind control plate 31 along the first direction X, and each sliding groove 311 is provided with an extension portion 33. The extension portion 33 slides along the sliding groove 311, thereby controlling the extension portion 33 extending out of the sliding groove, so as to adjust the length of the wind control member 30 along the first direction X, so that the wind control member 30 can be located in the slot 11, and can cooperate with the two slot walls of the slot 11 spaced apart along the first direction X. It can be understood that, in addition to being able to extend the overall length of the wind control member 30, the extension portion 33 can also be used as a handle for the user to hold, so that the user can move the wind control member 30.

[0124] See also Fig.10 and Fig.11 The sliding groove 311 has a first portion 3111 and a second portion 3112 that are connected to each other. The first portion 3111 and the second portion 3112 are arranged along the first direction X, and at least a portion of the height of the first portion 3111 is less than the height of the second portion 3112, so that a limiting wall 31113 is formed at the intersection of the first portion 3111 and the second portion 3112. The height of the first portion 3111 and the second portion 3112 should be understood as the height along the third direction Z when the wind control member 30 is arranged on the circuit board 21. The thickness of the extension portion 33 along the third direction Z is greater than the height of the first portion 3111 at least in part, and the side wall corresponding to the extension portion 33 or the first portion 3111 is elastically deformed, so that the portion of the extension portion 33 along the third direction Z that is greater than the height of the first portion 3111 can extend into the second portion 3112 through the first portion 3111. This portion of the extension portion 33 can prevent the extension portion 33 from being separated from the sliding groove 311.

[0125] Please refer to Fig.12 Specifically, the extension portion 33 includes a baffle 331 and a block 332. The baffle 331 is slidably matched with the first portion 3111, and at least a portion of it can be accommodated in the second portion 3112 or extend out of the first portion 3111. The block 332 is arranged on the baffle 331 and is located in the second portion 3112. The block 332 can abut against the limiting wall 31113 to prevent the baffle 331 from escaping from the sliding groove 311.

[0126] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first part 3111 has a tightening area 31111 and a connecting area 31112, both of which are connected to the second part 3112. When the wind control part 30 is in a flat state, the tightening area 31111 and the connecting area 31112 are arranged in sequence along the second direction Y. The height of the tightening area 31111 is less than the height of the connecting area 31112, and the height of the connecting area 31112 is equal to the height of the second part 3112. A limiting wall 31113 is formed at the intersection of the tightening area 31111 and the second part 3112.

[0127] The baffle 331 includes a connecting block 3311 and a tightening block 3312, the connecting block 3311 is connected to the tightening block 3312, the clamping block 332 is arranged on the tightening block 3312, the connecting block 3311 is slidably arranged in the connecting area 31112 and the second part 3112, and the tightening block 3312 is slidably arranged in the tightening area 31111.

[0128] Specifically, there are two tightening areas 31111, which are located at two ends of the connecting area 31112 along the second direction Y. There are also two tightening blocks 3312, which are located at two opposite ends of the connecting block 3311 along the second direction Y. One tightening block 3312 corresponds to the tightening area 31111, and the other tightening block 3312 corresponds to the other tightening area 31111. The thickness of the connecting block 3311 is substantially equal to the height of the connecting area 31112, and the size of the baffle 331 corresponds to the size of the sliding groove 311, so as to increase the stability of the baffle 331. The clamping block 332 is arranged on one side of the tightening block 3312 close to the other sliding groove 311, so as to increase the sliding range of the extension portion 33. The sum of the thickness of the clamping block 332 and the tightening block 3312 is greater than the thickness of the tightening area 31111, so that the clamping block 332 can abut against the limiting wall 31113. Optionally, the connecting block 3311 and the tightening block 3312 are both rectangular plate-shaped structures.

[0129] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the height of the tightening area 31111 and the connecting area 31112 of the first part 3111 can be equal and less than the height of the second part 3112, and the thickness of the connecting block 3311 and the tightening block 3312 are also correspondingly equal.

[0130] Optionally, in some embodiments, a guide surface 3321 is provided on one side of the block 332 in the direction in which the extension portion 33 slides in. When the extension portion 33 is installed, since the sum of the thicknesses of the block 332 and the tightening block 3312 is greater than the height of the tightening area 31111, at least one of the side walls corresponding to the block 332, the tightening block 3312, or the tightening area 31111 needs to be elastically deformed to extend the block 332 into the second portion 3112. Through the guide surface 3321 on the block 332, when the block 332 is inserted into the first part 3111 along the second direction Y, the guide surface 3321 abuts against the side wall corresponding to the tightening area 31111 and generates a component force along the third direction Z. Under the action of the component force, at least one of the side walls corresponding to the block 332 or the tightening block 3312 or the tightening area 31111 undergoes elastic deformation, thereby facilitating the block 332 to extend into the second part 3112 and abut against the limiting wall 31113.

[0131] The side of the block 332 in the opposite direction of the sliding direction of the extension part 33 is a vertical plane, which is used to abut against the limiting wall 31113 so that when the extension part 33 is directly pulled out, no component force along the third direction Z is generated, which can effectively prevent the extension part 33 from separating from the wind control plate 31.

[0132] Optionally, in some embodiments, the extension portion 33 further includes a handle 333, which is disposed at one end of the baffle 331 away from the wind control plate 31, and the thickness of the handle 333 along the third direction Z is greater than the height of the sliding groove 311. The user can pull out the extension portion 33 by operating the handle 333 to put the extension portion 33 in an extended state or push the extension portion 33 back, and make the handle 333 abut against the side wall of the wind control plate 31 to put the extension portion 33 in a retracted state. In addition to facilitating the movement of the extension portion 33, the handle 333 can prevent the extension portion 33 from being completely retracted into the sliding groove 311, as the thickness of the handle 333 is greater than the height of the sliding groove 311, making it difficult to pull the extension portion 33 out of the sliding groove 311 or to disengage the extension portion 33 from the sliding groove 311.

[0133] In summary, a server 100 is provided in an embodiment of the present application, in which a wind control member 30 is arranged on the circuit board 21 to guide the airflow, and an opening 111 is arranged on the slot 11 to block the external airflow from entering the slot 11, so that the wind control member 30 has two functions, so that when one of the two slots 11 is vacant, the airflow field can be kept stable and the heat dissipation effect is good.

[0134] In addition, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. As long as they are within the spirit of the present application, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope of the present application.
