[0050] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0051] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0052] It should be noted that a computer server is a high-performance computer that serves as a node in a network and stores and processes 80% of the data and information on the network. Therefore, it is also called the soul of the network. Network terminal devices such as microcomputers in homes and businesses must go through computer servers to access the Internet, obtain information, communicate with the outside world, and entertain themselves. Therefore, it can also be said that computer servers are "organizing" and "leading" these devices.

[0053] like Figures 3 to 26 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a drawer module, including a drawer 1 and a bracket 2, the bracket 2 includes a mounting cavity, the drawer 1 includes at least two bracket mounting slots 3, each bracket mounting slot 3 is inserted with at least one bracket 2, the mounting cavity includes at least two insertion slots 4, the insertion direction of the insertion slots 4 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the bracket mounting slots 3, the insertion slots 4 are used to insert a GPU component 5, and at least two insertion slots 4 are stacked along the insertion direction of the bracket 2.

[0054] The drawer module adopts a modular design, so that the installation of the GPU component 5 in the chassis 55 of the server is simpler and more convenient, and the operation is convenient. The drawer module includes a bracket 2, and the bracket 2 is plugged into the bracket mounting slot 3, and the GPU component 5 is plugged into the bracket 2. When assembling, the GPU component 5 can be first inserted into the bracket 2, and then the bracket 2 with the assembled GPU component 5 can be inserted into the bracket mounting slot 3 of the drawer, so that the assembly and disassembly of the GPU component 5 are simple and convenient, and easy to operate. At least two insertion slots 4 are stacked along the insertion direction of the bracket 2, and multiple layers of GPU components 5 can be stacked along the insertion direction of the bracket 2, thereby realizing high-density GPU deployment. Compared with the existing staggered arrangement, not only is it more convenient to replace the GPU component 5 and reduce the complexity of operation, but it also improves the integration and flexibility of the product, making the overall structure more compact.

[0055] This high-density GPU deployment method greatly improves the computing power and efficiency of the server, especially in high-load application scenarios such as deep learning, large-scale data processing and graphics rendering, which can significantly speed up data processing and improve computing performance. At the same time, the structural design of the stacked GPU components 5 maximizes resource utilization in a limited space, making the server more compact and saving space costs in the data center.

[0056] In one embodiment, the rear end of the drawer 1 is an open structure, and a crossbeam 6 is detachably provided at the rear end of the drawer 1 . The crossbeam 6 is stopped at the rear end of the bracket 2 , and a preset interval is formed between the crossbeam 6 and the bottom of the drawer 1 .

[0057] In this embodiment, by making the tail of the drawer 1 an open structure, it is possible to avoid obstruction at the tail of the drawer 1, thereby improving the flow efficiency of the airflow in the drawer 1, reducing heat dissipation obstacles, and allowing the heat generated by the GPU component 5 to diffuse to the surrounding air more quickly, further reducing the heat accumulation of the GPU component 5, and enhancing the stability and reliability of the server. In particular, when high-power GPUs are intensively used, system failures caused by overheating can be effectively prevented.

[0058] The bracket 2 carries a signal line and a power cable. When the bracket 2 is vertically installed in the drawer 1, the crossbeam 6 will interfere with the cable and hinder the installation of the bracket 2. The crossbeam 6 is designed to be detachable, and a preset interval is formed between the crossbeam 6 and the bottom of the drawer 1. The preset interval can be used to form a cable routing space. The crossbeam 6 can be detachable to avoid interference during the installation of the bracket 2. The crossbeam 6 can be installed after the bracket 2 is installed. This can not only realize the assembly of the crossbeam 6 and the bracket 2, but also ensure the smooth installation of the cable, thereby improving the assembly efficiency. In addition, the design of the crossbeam 6 can also strengthen the structural strength of the drawer 1.

[0059] In one embodiment, elastic connectors 7 are provided at both ends of the crossbeam 6, and slots 8 are provided at the tail ends of the two drawer side panels of the drawer 1 corresponding to the two ends of the crossbeam 6. The elastic connector 7 is installed in the slots 8, and the crossbeam 6 is installed and limited by the slots 8.

[0060] The crossbeam 6 is detachably mounted on the rear of the drawer 1 through an elastic connector 7, which simplifies the installation process, improves maintenance efficiency, and enhances the flexibility and compatibility of the server. During maintenance or upgrades in the data center, this design allows for quick replacement or upgrade of the GPU component 5, greatly shortening the downtime of the server and improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0061] In one embodiment, connecting side plates 9 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbeam 6, and guide limit rods 10 and elastic connectors 7 are provided on the connecting side plates 9. Stop caps 11 are provided at the ends of the guide limit rods 10. The guide limit rods 10 are fixedly connected to the connecting side plates 9. The elastic connector 7 includes a mounting shell 12 and a connector. The cross section of the connector is circular. The connector includes a pressing section 13, a mounting section 14, a locking section 15 and a stop section 16, wherein the pressing section 13 is slidably arranged in the mounting shell 12 and is elastically connected to the mounting shell 12 through an elastic member. The mounting section 14 is connected to the pressing section 13 and can extend out of the connecting side plate 9 when the pressing section 13 is pressed, and retract into the mounting shell 12 when the pressing section 13 is released. The locking section 15 is connected to the mounting section 14, and the stop section 16 is connected to the locking section 15. A limiting slide groove 17 is also provided at the tail end of the drawer side panel. The limiting slide groove 17 is provided corresponding to the guide limiting rod 10. The limiting slide groove 17 and the slot 8 are both opened along the mounting direction of the crossbeam 6. The guide limiting rod 10 slides into the limiting slide groove 17 through the opening. The slot 8 includes an opening section 18 and a limiting section 19. The width of the opening section 18 is greater than the diameter of the mounting section 14 and smaller than the diameter of the locking section 15. The diameter of the limiting section 19 is greater than the diameter of the locking section 15 and smaller than the diameter of the stop section 16. The diameter of the pressing section 13 is greater than the diameter of the limiting section 19. The elastic member applies an elastic force to the pressing section 13 to retract the mounting section 14 into the mounting shell 12.

[0062] In this embodiment, the pressing section 13, the installation section 14 and the locking section 15 are all cylindrical sections, and the stop section 16 is a conical section. This structural design can facilitate the operation of the pressing section 13, the cooperation between the installation section 14 and the locking section 15 and the slot 8, and can use the stop section 16 to center the limit section 19, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the installation structure of the locking section 15 in the limit section 19.

[0063] In this embodiment, both ends of the cross beam 6 are equipped with elastic connectors 7, and the rear end of the drawer side panel is provided with a slot 8 for the installation of the elastic connector 7. The elastic connector 7 includes a mounting shell 12, which is provided with a pressing section 13, a mounting section 14, a locking section 15 and a stop section 16. The pressing section 13 is connected to the mounting shell 12 by an elastic member, allowing the mounting section 14 to be extended and retracted by pressing and releasing. The limiting slide 17 is designed at the rear end of the drawer side panel, corresponding to the guide limiting rod 10, and the end of the guide limiting rod 10 is provided with a stop cap 11 to ensure the stable installation of the cross beam 6 and prevent the cross beam 6 from being displaced in the width direction relative to the drawer side panel.

[0064] The slot 8 is divided into an opening section 18 and a limiting section 19. The width of the opening section 18 is greater than the diameter of the mounting section 14 and smaller than the diameter of the locking section 15. The diameter of the limiting section 19 is greater than the diameter of the locking section 15 and smaller than the diameter of the stop section 16. The diameter of the pressing section 13 is greater than the diameter of the limiting section 19. Therefore, the width of the opening section 18 only allows the mounting section 14 to enter and exit, while the pressing section 13, the locking section 15 and the stop section 16 cannot pass through the opening section 18, while the limiting section 19 allows the locking section 15 to pass through, while the pressing section 13 and the stop section 16 cannot pass through the limiting section 19. When assembling the elastic connector 7 and the slot 8 with this structural design, the pressing section 13 can be pressed first to make the mounting section 14 extend out of the mounting shell 12 and correspond to the opening section 18. At this time, the elastic connector 7 can use the mounting section 14 to slide from the opening section 18 to the limiting section 19, when the elastic connector 7 enters the limiting section 19, the pressing section 13 is released, and the pressing section 13 retracts under the elastic action of the elastic member, driving the installation section 14 to retract. At this time, the locking section 15 is located in the limiting section 19 and corresponds to the opening section 18. Since the diameter of the locking section 15 is larger than the opening width of the opening section 18, it cannot escape through the opening section 18, thereby locking the elastic connector 7 in the limiting section 19, and realizing the installation and fixation of the beam 6 on the drawer side panel. Since the diameters of the pressing section 13 and the stop section 16 are both larger than the diameter of the limiting section 19, whether in the pressing process or the releasing process, due to the blocking effect of the pressing section 13 and the stop section 16, the connecting member of the elastic connector 7 cannot escape from the limiting section 19, thereby improving the reliability of the assembly structure between the elastic connector 7 and the drawer side panel, and realizing the reliable connection of the beam 6.

[0065] An elastic connector 20 and a connecting screw 21 are also provided on the crossbeam 6. A partition plate 22 is provided in the drawer 1 to space the bracket mounting groove 3. A threaded connection hole 23 is provided at the rear end of the partition plate 22. The connecting screw 21 is connected to the threaded connection hole 23. A socket 24 is provided at the rear end of the bracket 2, and the elastic connector 20 is plugged into the socket 24.

[0066] The crossbeam 6 includes a main body, and the connecting side plates 9 are located at both ends of the main body. The elastic connector 20 and the connecting screw 21 are arranged on the main body and are arranged toward the tail end of the bracket 2. In the process of inserting the bracket 2 from top to bottom, the elastic connector 20 can be pulled first to retract the insertion rod of the elastic connector 20. At the same time, the connecting screw 21 is not installed first, or the connecting screw 21 is pre-installed, but the connecting screw 21 does not extend out of the inner side of the main body. At this time, the insertion rod and the connecting screw 21 of the elastic connector 20 will not hinder the bracket 2, and the insertion of the bracket 2 can be smoothly realized. After the bracket 2 is inserted into place, the elastic connector 20 can be loosened, so that the insertion rod of the elastic connector 20 extends out and is inserted into the insertion hole 24 on the bracket 2, forming an effective limit for the bracket 2, and at the same time, the connecting screw 21 can be turned so that the connecting screw 21 is screwed into the threaded connection hole 23 to realize the fixed connection between the bracket 2 and the crossbeam 6. The connecting screw 21 is a tool-free screw, that is, a screw with a manual operating lever, which can realize tool-free disassembly between the bracket 2 and the crossbeam 6, reduce the difficulty of assembly and disassembly, and improve the efficiency of assembly and disassembly.

[0067] In one embodiment, a partition plate 22 is provided in the drawer 1 to partition the bracket mounting groove 3, and a threaded connection hole 23 is provided at the rear end of the partition plate 22. The threaded connection hole 23 at the rear end of the partition plate 22 is used to connect with the connection screw 21 on the crossbeam 6, providing additional structural support and connection strength.

[0068] The partition plate 22 is tightly connected to the crossbeam 6 through the connecting screws 21, which not only enhances the overall structural strength of the drawer 1, but also ensures the stability and reliability of the bracket 2 in the drawer 1 through precise positioning and stable connection. In a high-load data center environment, this design can reduce the failure rate caused by structural instability and improve the operating efficiency and data processing speed of the server. At the same time, the use of the jack 24 and the elastic connector 20 allows the bracket 2 to be quickly positioned when inserted and unplugged, which simplifies the operation process and improves the efficiency of server maintenance and upgrades. This design is particularly practical and efficient, especially in application scenarios that require frequent adjustment of GPU configuration or modular expansion.

[0069] In one embodiment, an extension plate 25 protruding along the extension direction of the tail is provided at the lower tail end of the drawer side plate, a slot 26 is provided at the tail end of the extension plate 25, and an elastic plug-in connector 20 is provided on the extension plate 25. A plug hole 24 and a pin 57 are provided at the relative positions of the chassis 55, wherein the pin 57 is inserted into the slot 26 to form a limit in the up and down directions, and the plug rod of the elastic plug-in connector 20 is inserted into the plug hole 24 to achieve the limit in the front and back and up and down directions.

[0070] After the bracket 2 is installed in the drawer 1, the entire drawer module is pushed into the chassis 55, and the insertion rods in the elastic plug-in parts 20 on both sides of the outer end of the drawer 1 are inserted into the holes 24 on the inner partition of the chassis to limit the freedom of the entire drawer module to be pushed forward. The slots 26 distributed on both sides of the drawer 1 can limit the position of the drawer module after the pins 57 in the chassis 55 are inserted to prevent the entire drawer module from tilting up.

[0071] In one embodiment, the bracket 2 includes a frame body 27 and a tail support member 28 rotatably arranged at the tail of the frame body 27, a board limit groove 29 is arranged on the tail support member 28, and the GPU assembly 5 has a tail extension member 30, and the board limit groove 29 is used to clamp the tail extension member 30 and press and limit the tail extension member 30.

[0072] The bracket 2 includes a frame body 27 and a tail support member 28, and the tail support member 28 is rotatably connected to the frame body 27 through a pin shaft, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the position of the tail support member 28 and realize the locking and unlocking operation between the tail support member 28 and the tail extension member 30. The tail support member 28 is equipped with a board limit groove 29 for clamping the extension part of the GPU assembly 5, namely the tail extension member 30. This design ensures the stability of the GPU assembly 5 and provides additional support.

[0073] The GPU assembly 5 includes a GPU card and a card tail extension 30. The card tail extension 30 is installed at the rear of the GPU card and connected to the body of the GPU card by screws. When the GPU card and the card tail extension 30 are installed into the bracket 2, the card tail extension 30 slides into the card slot on the bracket 2 and is initially supported by the card slot. At this time, the rear support 28 on the bracket 2 is in an open state.

[0074] When the GPU assembly 5 slides into place, the tail support 28 on the closed bracket 2 is wrapped with the board limit groove 29 of the tail support 28 to wrap the tail extension 30. The top of the board limit groove 29 is not through and has a top plate structure. Therefore, the top plate structure can be used to press down the tail extension 30 and cooperate with the bottom of the bracket 2 to support and limit the freedom of the tail extension 30.

[0075] The tail support member 28 is rotated to adjust its position, and the locking and unlocking operations of the tail extension member 30 are realized according to different rotational positions. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate without the use of tools, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the GPU assembly 5.

[0076] The GPU card is connected to the PCIE slot connector on the adapter card 56 through the gold finger on the card to achieve signal transmission. After the adapter card 56 is initially installed through the hook and the nail on the bracket 2, the thumb screw on the adapter card 56 is used to lock it on the bracket 2. The rotatable tail support provided at the tail of the bracket 2 is used to assist in supporting the GPU card and ensure the stability of the GPU card.

The hanging plate 36 is connected to the top of the tail support member 28, the hook 37 is located on a side of the hanging plate 36 away from the tail support member 28, the operating plate 38 is located on a side of the hanging plate 36 away from the hook 37, and the hook 37 is hooked on the end of the baffle 34.

[0080] The buckle 35 on the tail support 28 is a plastic buckle. After the tail support 28 is rotated and buckled, the plastic buckle will buckle on the baffle 34 on the bracket 2 to restrict the rotational freedom of the tail support 28. The plastic buckle is bent to cause plastic deformation of the plastic buckle, and the tail support 28 can be rotated open only after the buckling relationship with the bracket 2 is broken.

[0081] The combined design of the baffle 34 and the buckle 35 enables the tail support 28 to be firmly fixed on the tail frame 31. The buckle 35 includes a hanging plate 36, a hook 37 and an operating panel 38. The hanging plate 36 is connected to the tail support 28, the hook 37 is hooked on the baffle 34, and the operating panel 38 is located on the back side of the hook 37 to facilitate the operation of the buckle 35.

[0082] The design of the rear support 28 not only saves space inside the server, but also enables the rear of the GPU assembly 5 to be effectively supported and limited when subjected to gravity or external forces, thereby reducing performance degradation caused by physical deformation and improving the durability of the server and the accuracy of data processing. In particular, when the server needs to be moved or transported, this design can prevent the GPU assembly 5 from being displaced or damaged during movement, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the server in various application scenarios.

[0083] In one embodiment, a hanging nail 39 is installed on the inner side of the side wall of the bracket mounting groove 3, and the hanging nail 39 includes a nail cap 40 and a nail rod 41.

The extension plate 25 is designed at the lower end of the drawer side plate, and a slot 26 is opened on it. The elastic plug-in 20 is assembled on the extension plate 25, which further stabilizes the installation of the bracket 2.

[0085] The use of the sliding limiter 42 in conjunction with the nail 39 not only ensures the accurate sliding and positioning of the bracket 2 in the drawer 1, but also realizes the locking function of the bracket 2 by limiting the position of the nail cap 40 through the clamping limiter groove 44. Even if the server is subjected to vibration or impact, the bracket 2 can remain in the correct position, ensuring the stability of the system and the continuity of data processing. The setting of the elastic connector 20 further enhances the installation stability of the bracket 2, especially in a high-density deployment environment, which can effectively avoid the displacement or loosening of the bracket due to gravity or wind, and provides a solid physical foundation for the efficient operation of the server.

[0086] In one embodiment, the sliding stopper 42 is made of rubber material and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame body 27 by bonding or bolting. This structural design can prevent the sliding stopper 42 from hard collision with the hanging nail 39 during installation, thereby preventing damage to the installation structure of the bracket 2.

[0087] In one embodiment, a handle 45 is provided on the side wall of the frame body 27 , and a pin hole 46 is provided at one end of the handle 45 . A pin 47 is provided on the side wall of the bracket mounting slot 3 , and the pin 47 is installed in the pin hole 46 .
