Although there are some tool-free installation solutions on the market that use power-assist structures to solve the problem of excessive plug-in resistance, these power-assist structures have the problem of wear and failure due to frequent plug-in and plug-out.

[0012] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0013] The embodiment of the present application provides a board module, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a module frame 1, an adapter plate 2, a mainboard module 3, an assisting structure 4 and an elastic member 5; the module frame 1 is provided with an installation space 11; the adapter plate 2 is arranged on one side of the installation space 11 and is fixed on the module frame 1; the mainboard module 3 is slidably arranged in the installation space 11; the assisting structure 4 is located at one end of the mainboard module 3 away from the adapter plate 2, and is rotatably connected to the mainboard module 3; the assisting structure 4 has a first rotation state in which the rotational assisting mainboard module 3 is plugged into the adapter plate 2, and a second rotation state in which the rotational assisting mainboard module 3 is separated from the adapter plate 2; the elastic member 5 is fixed on the assisting structure 4; when the assisting structure 4 is in the first rotation state and / or the second rotation state, the elastic member 5 is in a compression state in contact with the module frame 1.

[0014] By rotating the assisting structure 4 to connect or separate the assisting mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2, the problem of excessive resistance during the plugging and unplugging of the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2 can be avoided; since the elastic member 5 is fixed on the assisting structure 4; when the assisting structure 4 is in the first rotation state and / or the second rotation state, the elastic member 5 abuts against the module frame 1 and is in a compressed state, effectively acting as a buffer layer between the assisting structure 4 and the module frame 1, avoiding direct damage to the contact surface between the assisting structure 4 and the module frame 1, significantly alleviating the wear problem that may be caused by frequent operation, extending the service life of the assisting structure 4 and the module frame 1, and ensuring the stability and long-term reliability of the entire structure.

[0015] In one embodiment, Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the assisting structure 4 includes an assisting portion 41 and a force-bearing portion 42, the force-bearing portion 42 includes a connecting end and a force-bearing end that are relatively arranged, the connecting end is rotatably connected to the mainboard module 3, and the elastic member 5 is fixed on the force-bearing end; the assisting portion 41 is fixedly connected to the force-bearing portion 42, and extends to an end away from the connecting end and the force-bearing end.

[0016] By setting the connecting end, a rotatable connection between the power-assisting structure 4 and the mainboard module 3 can be achieved; since the force-bearing end and the connecting end are arranged relative to each other, it is ensured that when the power-assisting structure 4 is in the first rotation state or the second rotation state, it can abut against the module frame 1 and bear the corresponding force, which not only ensures the stability of the structure, but also optimizes the force transmission path; since the power-assisting part 41 is fixedly connected to the force-bearing part 42 and extends to the end away from the connecting end and the force-bearing end, according to the principle of lever, when the force arm is longer, a larger torque can be generated with a smaller force, and the setting of the power-assisting part 41 effectively amplifies the force applied to the force-bearing end. The operator only needs to apply a relatively small force to the power-assisting part 41 to generate a larger force on the force-bearing end through the lever action to complete the plug-in and pull-out operations, which significantly reduces the physical exertion required for the plug-in and pull-out operations and improves work efficiency.

[0017] In one embodiment, the force-bearing portion 42 is an arc segment, which includes a first arc segment 421 and a second arc segment 422 connected in sequence, the connecting end is arranged on the first arc segment 421, the force-bearing end is arranged on the second arc segment 422, and the assisting portion 41 is connected at the connection between the first arc segment 421 and the second arc segment 422.

[0018] Since the arc segment includes a first arc segment 421 and a second arc segment 422 which are connected in sequence, the connecting end is arranged on the first arc segment 421, and the force-bearing end is arranged on the second arc segment 422. Therefore, during the rotation of the power-assisting structure 4, while realizing the rotatable connection between the connecting end and the mainboard module 3, the interference between the second arc segment 422 and the mainboard module 3 can be avoided, thereby realizing the abutment between the force-bearing end and the module frame 1; and since the power-assisting portion 41 is connected to the connection between the first arc segment 421 and the second arc segment 422, this connection becomes the fulcrum of the lever action. During the force application process, the power-assisting portion 41 uses this as a lever point, which can efficiently amplify the force applied to the force-bearing end, so that the operator can generate sufficient torque with a smaller force and smoothly complete operations such as plugging and unplugging.

[0019] In one embodiment, the elastic member 5 is an elastic cap, which is sleeved on the force-bearing end.

[0020] By configuring the elastic member 5 as an elastic cap and sleeved on the force-bearing end, it is not only easy to install the elastic member 5, but also achieves all-round protection for the force-bearing end.

[0021] Specifically, the elastic member 5 is an elastic plastic sleeve.

[0022] In one embodiment, the elastic member 5 includes an arc-shaped force-bearing surface 51 , and the arc-shaped force-bearing surface 51 is used to abut against the module frame 1 .

[0023] By setting the part where the elastic member 5 abuts the module frame 1 as the arc-shaped force-bearing surface 51, the contact mode between the elastic member 5 and the module frame 1 is changed to a smoother rolling contact, which not only avoids scratching the module frame 1, but also significantly reduces the force required in the assembly process of the mainboard module 3, making the operation more labor-saving and efficient; and the rolling contact mode of the arc-shaped force-bearing surface 51 significantly reduces the heat and wear generated by friction by reducing the friction area and friction coefficient, thereby extending the service life of the elastic member 5 and the module frame 1, and improving stability and durability. Therefore, by setting the part where the elastic member 5 abuts the module frame 1 as the arc-shaped force-bearing surface 51, the contact mode in the assembly process is optimized, which not only avoids the risk of scratching the inner wall of the module frame 1, further reduces the force required for assembly, improves the convenience and efficiency of operation, but also effectively reduces the heat and wear generated by friction, extends the service life of the elastic member 5 and the module frame 1, and improves the assembly quality.

[0024] In one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a clearance hole 31 is provided on the mainboard module 3 , and the first arc segment 421 passes through the clearance hole 31 and is connected to the mainboard module 3 , and is rotatably matched with the clearance hole 31 .

[0025] The setting of the clearance hole 31 provides necessary space for the first arc segment 421 to rotate relative to the mainboard module 3, ensuring that the first arc segment 421 will not interfere with the mainboard module 3 unnecessary during the rotation process, thereby greatly improving the flexibility and smoothness of the rotation, and realizing the free rotation of the first arc segment 421 within a predetermined range.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, since the assisting portion 41 is connected at the connection between the first arc segment 421 and the second arc segment 422, when the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2 are plugged into place, the first arc segment 421 passes through the clearance hole 31 and is completely located inside the mainboard module 3, thereby ensuring the abutment between the assisting portion 41 and the mainboard module 3, and facilitating the subsequent locking operation of the assisting portion 41.

[0027] In one embodiment, a positioning hole 32 is provided on the mainboard module 3, and a positioning portion 43 is provided on the side of the assisting portion 41 away from the force-bearing portion 42, and the positioning portion 43 protrudes from the assisting portion 41; when the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 are in a plug-in state, the positioning portion 43 is engaged with the positioning hole 32.

[0028] When the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 are plugged into place, the positioning part 43 can be embedded in the positioning hole 32 to form a stable snap-fit ​​structure. The physical constraint effectively prevents the assisting part 41 from accidentally moving or falling off in subsequent operations, thereby enhancing the connection strength between the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2, and improving the stability of the connection between the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2. The snap-fit ​​locking of the positioning part 43 and the positioning hole 32 also has the advantages of easy operation and maintenance. When the lock needs to be released, the positioning part 43 and the positioning hole 32 can be separated through simple operations without complicated disassembly process. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces maintenance costs.

[0029] In a specific implementation, the positioning portion 43 is directly formed by the assisting portion 41 through a bending process, which not only simplifies the number of components and reduces the complexity of assembly, but also makes the positioning portion 43 an integral part of the structure of the assisting portion 41, and can maintain extremely high stability and reliability during assembly and use. This integrated design not only improves the overall quality, but also optimizes the production process, reduces manufacturing costs, and provides a guarantee for the stable operation of high-performance server systems.

[0030] In one embodiment, a locking piece 44 is provided on the assisting portion 41. When the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 are in a plugged state, the locking piece 44 is locked with the mainboard module 3; when the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 are in a separated state, the locking piece 44 is unlocked with the mainboard module 3.

[0031] By setting the locking piece 44, when the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2 are in the plugged state, the locking piece 44 and the mainboard module 3 are locked, effectively avoiding the accidental separation between the assisting part 41 and the mainboard module 3, thereby ensuring the stability of the plugged state of the mainboard module 3; when the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2 need to be separated, the locking piece 44 can be easily unlocked from the mainboard module 3, so that the assisting structure 4 can rotate freely and assist the separation operation of the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2, which not only improves the efficiency of maintenance work, but also reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0032] In a specific embodiment, the locking member 44 is a thumb screw.

[0033] Specifically, a mounting threaded hole 36 is provided on the mainboard module 3. When the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 are in a plugged-in state and the locking member 44 and the mainboard module 3 need to be locked, a hand screw is threadedly connected to the mounting threaded hole 36.

[0034] In a specific implementation, a fixing plate is protruded from one end of the assisting portion 41 away from the force-bearing portion 42 , and the locking member 44 and the positioning portion 43 are both disposed on the fixing plate.

[0035] Preferably, a stop plate is provided at one end of the module frame 1 close to the adapter board 2, and the stop plate extends in a direction perpendicular to the installation direction of the mainboard module 3. When the mainboard module 3 completes the plug-in action with the adapter board 2 along the assembly path, the end edge of the mainboard module 3 will come into physical contact with the stop plate, strictly limiting the further displacement of the mainboard module 3 in the assembly direction, thereby avoiding excessive extrusion of the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 due to careless operation or accumulated manufacturing tolerances; the stop plate helps to maintain the electrical contact stability of the connection interface by precisely controlling the contact pressure between the mainboard module 3 and the adapter board 2, reduces the risk of connection failure due to long-term vibration or stress concentration, and improves the durability and reliability of the connection area between the module frame 1 and the adapter board 2 as a whole.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, when the locking member 44 and the mainboard module 3 are in an unlocked state and the assisting portion 41 is spaced apart from the mainboard module 3, the elastic member 5 protrudes from the mainboard module 3 along an installation direction perpendicular to the mainboard module 3, and pushes the mainboard module 3 into the installation space 11 along the installation direction. After the elastic member 5 enters the installation space 11, the elastic member 5 is located between the mainboard module 3 and the inner wall of the module frame 1. At this time, if the mainboard module 3 is continued to be pushed along the installation direction of the mainboard module 3, there will be a slight jamming phenomenon between the elastic member 5 and the inner wall of the module frame 1. However, the operator can continue to push the mainboard module 3 along the installation direction by increasing the thrust applied to the mainboard module 3. When the mainboard module 3 contacts the adapter plate 2, the rotation assist structure 4 rotates counterclockwise. At this time, the elastic member 5 abuts against the inner wall of the module frame 1, and the assist structure 4 starts to perform rotation assist. The mainboard module 3 continues to be pushed into the installation space 11. When the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2 are plugged in, the positioning portion 43 just enters the positioning hole 32, and then the locking member 44 is locked in the installation threaded hole 36 of the mainboard module 3, completing the assembly of the mainboard module 3 into the module frame 1 and completing the plugging of the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2.

[0037] In a specific embodiment, when the mainboard module 3 is installed, the elastic member 5 rotates to the side away from the adapter plate 2 along with the force-bearing end. When the mainboard module 3 needs to be removed, the locking member 44 is unlocked and separated from the installation threaded hole 36 of the mainboard module 3, and the power-assisting structure 4 is rotated clockwise. At this time, the elastic member 5 forms an abutment relationship with the edge of the side of the module frame 1 away from the adapter plate 2. The power-assisting structure 4 continues to rotate, and the elastic member 5 has a ejecting effect on the disassembly of the mainboard module 3, thereby realizing the separation of the mainboard module 3 and the adapter plate 2, and then the mainboard module 3 can be removed from the module frame 1.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present embodiment, after the motherboard module 3 is installed, the elastic member 5 protrudes from the motherboard module 3 along the installation direction perpendicular to the motherboard module 3, and abuts against the inner wall of the module frame 1 in a compressed state; since the elastic member 5 protrudes from the motherboard module 3 along the installation direction perpendicular to the motherboard module 3, and forms a close abutment with the inner wall of the module frame 1, the elastic member 5 is in a pre-compressed state at this time, and the elastic recovery force of the elastic member 5 is used to apply a continuous thrust along the installation direction perpendicular to the motherboard module 3 to the motherboard module 3, thereby ensuring that the motherboard module 3 can be stably and firmly clamped in the module frame 1; and this thrust not only enhances the contact tightness between the motherboard module 3 and the module frame 1, but also effectively prevents the loosening problem caused by external interference such as vibration or impact. During the operation of the server, in the face of inevitable dynamic interference such as vibration or impact, the elastic member 5 can quickly respond and absorb these interference energies; and the elastic recovery force of the elastic member 5 ensures that the connection between the motherboard module 3 and the adapter board 2 is always tight and stable, effectively reducing the risk of system failure caused by loose connection.

[0039] Preferably, an elastic connector is provided between the power-assisting structure 4 and the mainboard module 3. Specifically, the elastic connector is provided at one end of the power-assisting portion 41 away from the force-bearing portion 42, and the two ends of the elastic connector are respectively connected to the power-assisting portion 41 and the mainboard module 3. When the power-assisting portion 41 is locked with the mainboard module 3, the elastic connector is in a compressed state. When the mainboard module 3 needs to be pulled out, in the process of the operator applying a rotational force to the power-assisting portion 41, the elastic connector uses its stored elastic potential energy to provide auxiliary force for the pulling out operation. This auxiliary force effectively reduces the rotational force that the operator needs to apply, making the pulling out process smoother and more labor-saving.

[0040] In one embodiment, the module frame 1 further includes a guide groove, which extends along the installation direction of the mainboard module 3 , and the mainboard module 3 can be slidably disposed in the guide groove.

[0041] By setting the guide groove, it is ensured that the mainboard module 3 can slide steadily and smoothly along the predetermined track, which not only provides a clear assembly path for the mainboard module 3, but also effectively prevents the displacement or misalignment of the mainboard module 3 during the plug-in process through physical constraints, effectively guides the mainboard module 3 to accurately dock with the adapter board 2, and ensures the high precision and stability of the connection; and in the process of the mainboard module 3 sliding along the guide groove, even if there is a slight assembly deviation due to improper operation or external interference, the side wall of the guide groove can provide the necessary guidance and correction function, so that the mainboard module 3 can automatically adjust to the correct assembly position, which not only improves the fault tolerance of the mainboard module 3 assembly process, but also significantly reduces the failure rate caused by assembly errors, ensures that the mainboard module 3 is always stably supported and guided during the sliding process, avoids poor assembly due to shaking or vibration, and effectively improves the assembly efficiency.

[0042] In a specific embodiment, a plurality of partition plates 15 are provided in the installation space 11, and the plurality of partition plates 15 are sequentially arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the installation direction of the mainboard module 3, so as to divide the entire installation space 11 into a plurality of independent installation sub-spaces, and each installation sub-space can be installed with a corresponding mainboard module 3, thereby realizing the maximum space utilization and the flexibility of system configuration, and providing an exclusive and non-interfering installation environment for each mainboard module 3, ensuring the compactness of the system structure and the independence of functions. Specifically, a guide bending plate 16 is fixed in each installation sub-space, and the guide bending plate 16 and the partition plate 15 are arranged at intervals to form a guide groove.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the guide bending plate 16 is directly formed by the top wall of the module frame 1 through a bending process, which not only simplifies the number of components and reduces the complexity of assembly, but also makes the guide bending plate 16 an integral part of the top wall structure of the module frame 1, and can maintain extremely high stability and reliability during assembly and use. This integrated design not only improves the overall quality, but also optimizes the production process, reduces manufacturing costs, and provides a guarantee for the stable operation of high-performance server systems.

[0044] In one embodiment, the mainboard module 3 further includes a conductive foam 33 , which is disposed on the outer side of the mainboard module 3 and abuts against the groove wall of the guide groove.

[0045] By setting the conductive foam 33 to abut against the groove wall of the guide groove, an effective electrostatic shielding layer is provided, which can significantly reduce the impact of external electrostatic interference on the internal circuit of the system and play a role in electrostatic shielding; and because the conductive foam 33 has a certain elasticity, during the sliding assembly of the mainboard module 3 along the guide groove, the conductive foam 33 can absorb the tiny vibrations and impacts generated during the assembly process, ensuring that the components enter the predetermined position steadily and smoothly, which not only improves the stability and reliability of the assembly process, but also helps to extend the service life of the board module and enhance physical support and environmental adaptability; therefore, the abutment between the conductive foam 33 and the groove wall of the guide groove not only provides the function of electrostatic shielding, but also has good physical support and buffering effects.

[0046] Specifically, the conductive foam 33 abuts against the partition plate 15 .

[0047] In one embodiment, the mainboard module 3 includes a shell 34 and a signal board 35; the shell 34 is provided with a mounting groove 341; and along the installation direction perpendicular to the mainboard module 3, a first limiting portion 343 is protruded on the groove wall of the mounting groove 341, and the signal board 35 is arranged in the mounting groove 341 for plugging with the adapter board 2; and a first limiting groove 351 is provided on the signal board 35; when the signal board 35 is in a preset installation position, the first limiting portion 343 is engaged with the first limiting groove 351.

[0048] Since the first limiting portion 343 is engaged with the first limiting groove 351 when the signal board 35 is in the preset installation position, the first limiting groove 351 and the first limiting portion 343 can play a role in installation and positioning of the signal board 35, and can prevent excessive compression between the signal board 35 and the shell 34.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the shell 34 includes a mounting plate 344, a first side plate 345 and two second side plates 346, and the mounting plate 344, the first side plate 345 and the two second side plates 346 enclose a mounting groove 341, the first side plate 345 is arranged on the side away from the adapter plate 2, and a through hole 342 is provided on the first side plate 345; a first connector 352 is protruded on the signal plate 35; the first connector 352 is arranged through the through hole 342. Since the shell 34 includes a mounting plate 344, a first side plate 345 and two second side plates 346, and the mounting plate 344, the first side plate 345 and the two second side plates 346 enclose a mounting groove 341, the mounting groove 341 is a semi-enclosed space. Since the first side plate 345 is arranged on the side away from the adapter plate 2, the side of the signal plate 35 away from the first side plate 345 can be plugged into the adapter plate 2; since a through hole 342 is provided on the first side plate 345, the first connector 352 arranged on the side of the signal plate 35 close to the first side plate 345 can pass through the through hole 342 to achieve connection with external equipment.

[0050] In a specific implementation, a gold finger 353 is provided on the side of the signal board 35 away from the first side board 345 , and a second connector 23 is provided on the adapter board 2 .
