[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a 6-slot 4U highly reinforced server based on a 6U VPX architecture, including:

[0035] A chassis base 5, which is the installation base of the server;

[0036] VPX card module 2, the VPX card module 2 is a computing module of the server, and the VPX card module 2 is detachably connected to the server;

[0037] The guide rail bracket 3 is a positioning device in the server, used to provide support for the VPX board module 2, wherein the guide rail bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5, and the guide rail bracket 3 includes at least 6 groups of guide rails arranged opposite to each other;

[0038] A backplane assembly 6, the backplane assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the guide rail bracket 3, and is used to connect multiple VPX board modules 2 to achieve electrical interconnection;

[0039] The power supply assembly 7 is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5 and is a power supply module for the server.

[0040] Specifically, the chassis base 5 is the installation base of the entire server, which is used to accommodate or fix all other components or modules of the server, such as the VPX board module 2, the guide rail bracket 3, the backplane assembly 6, the power supply assembly 7, etc.

[0041] Specifically, the structure of the chassis base 5 has sufficient strength and reinforcement to withstand the installation pressure of each VPX board module 2 and the stress that may be generated during use, and to provide protection for all other components of the server and the VPX board module 2.

[0042] Specifically, the VPX card module 2 is the computing core, which is inserted under the guidance of the guide rail in the guide rail bracket 3 and electrically connected to the backplane assembly 6. The modularly designed VPX card module 2 allows the server to be easily disassembled and maintained, thereby improving the maintainability and operability of the system.

[0043] Specifically, the guide rail bracket 3 is fixed on the chassis base 5, and its function is to provide positioning and support for the VPX board module 2. Each set of guide rails forms a guide slot for the VPX board module 2, ensuring that the VPX board module 2 can be accurately aligned and connected to the backplane assembly 6 during installation, and ensuring that the VPX board module 2 runs smoothly during the plug-in and unplug process, reducing damage caused by misoperation.

[0044] Optionally, the guide rail bracket 3 is designed to include at least 6 sets of relatively arranged guide rails, ensuring that the server has at least 6 slots, and multiple VPX board modules 2 can be installed at the same time. In addition, the guide rail bracket 3 can include more than 6 sets of relatively arranged guide rails. In this case, the guide slot of a VPX board module 2 can be composed of multiple sets of relatively arranged guide rails, further improving the installation stability and stability of the VPX board module 2.

[0045] Preferably, the guide rail bracket 3 is fixed to the chassis base 5 by screws, and the installation position of the guide rail bracket 3 should ensure that each VPX board module 2 can be smoothly inserted and docked with the backplane assembly 6.

[0046] The multi-slot design of the guide rail bracket 3 improves the scalability of the server, allowing users to add or replace the VPX board module 2 as needed, thereby improving the flexibility of the server.

[0047] Specifically, the backplane assembly 6 is fixed on the guide rail bracket 3 to provide electrical interconnection between the VPX card modules 2. In other words, multiple VPX card modules 2 are connected to the backplane assembly 6 by inserting the guide rail bracket 3, and are connected to each other through the backplane assembly 6 to achieve data and power transmission. In addition, the backplane only serves as an interconnection, and does not directly carry computing functions.

[0048] Preferably, the back plate assembly 6 is screwed to the guide rail bracket 3 by screws, and then indirectly fixed to the chassis base 5 by the guide rail bracket 3. The back plate assembly 6 is perpendicular to the base bottom plate.

[0049] Through the design of the backplane assembly 6, the overall performance of the server and the collaborative working ability between the VPX board modules 2 are ensured, so that multiple VPX board modules 2 can work together smoothly, while reducing complex cable connections and improving the reliability and stability of the system.

[0050] Specifically, the power supply assembly 7 is fixed on the chassis base 5, and is a power supply module of the server, providing stable power for all VPX board modules 2 and other components. Specifically, the power supply assembly 7 provides power to each VPX board module 2 through the backplane assembly 6, wherein the power provided by the power supply assembly 7 is distributed through the backplane.

[0051] In some embodiments, the chassis base 5 is a U-shaped structure, including a base bottom plate and a base side plate, and the chassis base 5 is 4U in height.

[0052] Specifically, the chassis base 5 is designed to be U-shaped, including a base bottom plate at the bottom and base side plates on both sides. Such a design provides a solid frame foundation for the entire server and increases the strength and stability of the overall structure. Among them, the base bottom plate and the base side plates are used together to fix core modules such as the guide rail bracket 3, the backplane assembly 6, and the power supply assembly 7, and are important load-bearing parts of the entire server. In addition, the base side plates are also used as vertically fixed parts to enhance the lateral stability of the chassis and provide lateral protection for each VPX board module 2.

[0053] Optionally, the base bottom plate and the base side plates are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected, wherein the connection methods of the base bottom plate and the base side plates include riveting, welding, screwing, one-piece molding and other forms.

[0054] Specifically, in the external dimensions of the chassis base 5, the height is 4U, indicating that the vertical space of the server is a standard 4 rack units (U), so that the server is suitable for the size requirements of a standard rack-mounted server while providing sufficient installation and heat dissipation space for internal components.

[0055] Specifically, the U-shaped base design provides more heat dissipation channels for the server, and the airflow optimization design can be performed through the base side panels or the bottom panel to ensure that the VPX board module 2 and the power supply component 7 can still maintain good heat dissipation effect under high load.

[0056] In some embodiments, guide grooves are provided on the VPX board module 2, and the guide grooves are arranged in groups of two, wherein the guide grooves cooperate with the guide rails to form a sliding connection pair, and the electrical connection and disconnection between the VPX board module 2 and the backplane assembly 6 are achieved through the bidirectional sliding of the sliding connection pair.

[0057] Specifically, the guide grooves arranged on the VPX board module 2 are designed in pairs, that is, there is a guide groove on each side of the VPX board module 2, and the paired guide grooves can closely cooperate with the guide rails arranged relatively in the guide rail bracket 3, ensuring that the VPX board module 2 can maintain stable sliding during installation or disassembly.

[0058] Specifically, the guide groove and the guide rail cooperate to form a sliding connection pair to ensure that the VPX board module 2 can slide smoothly on the guide rail bracket 3. The design of the sliding connection pair not only ensures the stability of the mechanical connection, but also improves the smoothness of the insertion and removal of the VPX board module 2.

[0059] Specifically, the sliding connection pair of the guide groove and the guide rail allows the VPX card module 2 to slide in both directions, that is, it can be inserted or removed along the direction of the guide rail. When inserting, the VPX card module 2 gradually slides in through the sliding connection pair until it forms an electrical connection with the backplane assembly 6; when removing, the VPX card module 2 slides out in the opposite direction, and the electrical connection is automatically disconnected.

[0060] Optionally, when the VPX board module 2 is completely slid into the guide rail, a limit device is used to ensure that the VPX board module 2 does not exceed a predetermined position, thereby ensuring the continued stability and safety of the electrical connection. In addition, the limit device can also make the user feel more at ease when plugging and unplugging the VPX board module 2, without having to worry about whether the VPX board module 2 is fully docked in place, thereby reducing the possibility of human error.

[0061] Exemplarily, the limiting device includes a mechanical limiting device (such as a spring pin, a mechanical snap, etc.), an electronic limiting device (such as a photoelectric sensor, a magnetic sensor, etc.) and a hybrid limiting device.

[0062] The above-mentioned sliding connection pair design formed by the guide groove and the guide rail allows the VPX board module 2 to be easily installed and disassembled, which helps to reduce the difficulty of maintenance and reduce the maintenance and replacement time. At the same time, through the sliding connection pair, the VPX board module 2 can automatically align with the interface of the backplane assembly 6 during the sliding process to ensure the accuracy of the electrical connection. When the VPX board module 2 is in place, the electrical interface will automatically dock to avoid human insertion errors. In addition, the close fit between the guide groove and the guide rail provides sufficient mechanical support, so that the VPX board module 2 can maintain a stable electrical connection and physical fixation even in a high vibration or impact environment, further improving the stability of the system and reducing the possibility of damage.

[0063] In some embodiments, a connector is disposed at the rear end of the VPX card module 2 , and a heat dissipation mechanism is disposed on the surface of the VPX card module 2 .

[0064] Specifically, the connector is arranged at the rear end of the VPX card module 2. When the VPX card module 2 slides to a predetermined position through the guide groove, the connector will dock with the corresponding interface of the backplane assembly 6 to complete the electrical connection. The connector design at the rear end of the VPX card module 2 ensures a stable high-speed electrical connection between the VPX card module 2 and the backplane assembly 6. Preferably, the connector is a board-to-board connector.

[0065] Specifically, a metal heat sink (such as aluminum or copper) is provided on the surface of the VPX card module 2, and the heat sink is closely attached to the surface of the VPX card module 2 to form a heat dissipation mechanism, which can quickly absorb and dissipate the heat generated by the VPX card module 2. The connection method between the heat dissipation mechanism and the surface of the VPX card module 2 includes integrated molding, welding, snap connection, thermal conductive adhesive connection, etc.

[0066] Optionally, the heat dissipation mechanism forms a heat dissipation duct on the surface of the VPX board module 2, which increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the VPX board module 2 and facilitates the removal of heat from the surface of the VPX board module 2 by forced air convection.

[0067] Optionally, the heat dissipation mechanism may conduct heat from the surface of the VPX card module 2 through a heat pipe and transfer the heat to a heat sink far away from the VPX card module 2, thereby effectively reducing the temperature.

[0068] In some embodiments, a connector that matches with the connector at the rear end of the VPX card module 2 is disposed on the backplane assembly 6 to form an electrical connection between the VPX card module 2 and the backplane assembly 6 .

[0069] Specifically, the connector design on the backplane assembly 6 corresponds to the connector at the rear end of the VPX board module 2, and is matched according to the type of connector used. For example, if a board-to-board connector is used at the rear end of the VPX board module 2, a matching board-to-board connector interface will be provided on the backplane assembly 6. This interface can be directly connected to the VPX board module 2 to achieve high-density data and power transmission. The connector design on the backplane not only provides high-speed signal transmission, but also ensures the ease of plugging and unplugging and scalability of the VPX board module 2, thereby improving the performance and maintenance efficiency of the server.

[0070] Specifically, the connector on the backplane assembly 6 is fixedly mounted on the PCB of the backplane assembly 6 and is connected to other connectors on the backplane assembly 6 through a conductive path, ensuring that the signal can be seamlessly transmitted from the VPX board module 2 to other VPX board modules 2 of the server.

[0071] Optionally, depending on the design of the backplane assembly 6, the connector can be installed vertically or horizontally to match the insertion angle of the rear end connector of the VPX card module 2. Different VPX card modules 2 can be inserted into different backplane connectors according to application requirements, thereby achieving flexible configuration of multi-function devices or multi-purpose servers.

[0072] Specifically, the process of implementing the electrical connection includes: the VPX board module 2 slides along the guide rail bracket 3, and when the connector at the rear end approaches the backplane assembly 6, the mating connector on the backplane will dock with the connector of the VPX board module 2 to form a tight electrical connection.

[0073] Optionally, when the VPX board module 2 is fully slid into place, a limit device locks the position of the VPX board module 2, ensuring that the connector on the backplane maintains a stable physical and electrical connection with the VPX board module 2 connector and does not become loose or disconnected due to external vibration or movement.

[0074] In some embodiments, the server further comprises:

[0075] A front panel assembly 1, the front panel assembly 1 is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5, and an openable and closable door is provided on the front panel assembly 1, and the VPX board module 2 is inserted into or removed from the server through the door;

[0076] A rear panel assembly 8, the rear panel assembly 8 is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5 and is arranged opposite to the front panel assembly 1, wherein the rear panel assembly 8 is provided with an interface;

[0077] The chassis upper cover 9 is disposed on the chassis base 5 and is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5 .

[0078] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a hatch that can be opened and closed is designed on the front panel assembly 1, so that the user can insert or remove the VPX card module 2 through the hatch. The hatch adopts a hinge design or a sliding design, and the opening shape and size of the hatch corresponds to the size of the VPX card module 2.

[0079] Optionally, the front panel assembly 1 is fixed to the chassis base 5 by screws or buckles to ensure sufficient structural strength and stability during use. In addition, the door of the front panel assembly 1 can be equipped with a locking device to prevent unauthorized personnel from opening the door to operate the VPX board module 2.

[0080] Specifically, the rear panel assembly 8 is designed with various interfaces, which may include, for example, a power interface, a network interface, and a data transmission interface (such as USB, optical fiber, etc.) for connecting the server with external devices. Among them, the interface on the rear panel assembly 8 is connected to the internal backplane assembly 6 or the power assembly 7 through a cable or directly to realize the electrical communication or power transmission between the VPX board module 2 and the external device. The rear panel assembly 8 realizes efficient connection between the server and external devices through various interfaces, simplifies the access process of external devices, and ensures the stability of power supply and data communication.

[0081] Specifically, the rear panel assembly 8 can be fixed to the chassis base 5 by screws or buckles to ensure that it will not become loose or deformed when inserted into various external interfaces.

[0082] Optionally, the rear panel assembly 8 may be designed with heat dissipation holes or installed with a heat dissipation fan to assist air flow inside the chassis and improve the overall heat dissipation effect.

[0083] Specifically, the chassis cover 9 covers the top of the entire server, and is used to provide physical protection for the core modules (such as the VPX board module 2, the power supply assembly 7, etc.) inside the chassis, and prevent the external environment (such as dust, moisture, etc.) from affecting the equipment. Preferably, the chassis cover 9 usually adopts a sealed design to prevent external dust or debris from entering the chassis, thereby improving the environmental adaptability of the server, especially in applications in harsh environments.

[0084] Optionally, the chassis cover 9 is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5 by screws to ensure that it will not loosen under vibration or impact. At the same time, the chassis cover 9 is designed as a detachable structure. When large-scale maintenance or upgrading of internal components is required, the chassis cover 9 can be quickly removed to provide sufficient space.

[0085] In some embodiments, the power supply assembly 7 is modularly designed, and the power supply assembly 7 includes N power supply modules, where N is greater than or equal to 1.

[0086] Specifically, the power supply assembly 7 is fixed to the base plate by screws or slots, and is connected to the rear panel assembly 8 and the back panel assembly 6 by cables or connectors, respectively, to provide a stable power supply for the server. The connection between the power supply assembly 7 and the rear panel assembly 8 is used to input the power of the external power supply into the power supply assembly 7, and the connection between the power supply assembly 7 and the back panel assembly 6 is used to distribute the power converted by the power supply assembly 7 to multiple VPX card modules 2.

[0087] Specifically, the power supply assembly 7 is composed of a plurality of independent power supply modules, and N represents the number of power supply modules. Different numbers of power supply modules can be configured according to the power consumption requirements of the server. In other words, N can be equal to 1, or multiple power supply modules can work in parallel to provide higher power output and provide redundancy for the server to ensure that the server is online when some power supply modules fail.

[0088] Optionally, the N power modules included in the power assembly 7 are modular hot-swappable designs, which can achieve rapid maintenance and replacement. When a fault occurs, only the problematic power module needs to be replaced without disassembling the entire power assembly 7, thereby reducing maintenance time and cost.

[0089] In some embodiments, the server further comprises:

[0090] The heat dissipation component 4 is disposed on the chassis base 5 and / or the VPX board module 2 and is fixedly connected to the chassis base 5 and / or the VPX board module 2. The heat dissipation component 4 is used to cool the server.

[0091] Specifically, the heat dissipation component 4 can be set on either or both of the chassis base 5 and the VPX board module 2 to provide power for forced convection of the server and the VPX board module 2 in the server, ensuring that the system maintains a stable temperature under high load conditions.

[0092] Optionally, the heat dissipation component 4 can be fixed to the bottom or side of the chassis base 5 to provide power for the air flow inside the entire chassis base 5 and cool all components including the VPX board module 2 and the power module.

[0093] Optionally, in view of the high-density design of the VPX board module 2, a heat dissipation assembly 4 can be directly installed on the VPX board module 2, and combined with the above-mentioned heat dissipation device, directly provide cooling for the core processing unit, storage unit and other high-heat generating components in the VPX board.

[0094] Optionally, the heat dissipation component 4 may include a heat dissipation fan, a heat exchanger or other equipment that can realize convection. For example, a fan installed on the chassis base 5 can push the air to flow along a specific air duct to form effective air convection. For example, air enters from the bottom or side, passes through various heating elements (such as VPX board module 2, power supply component 7, etc.), takes away the heat and is discharged from the top or side. The heat sink or fan on the VPX board module 2 directly cools the heating unit inside the VPX board module 2, and is combined with the overall air duct to improve the overall heat dissipation effect.
