[0031] 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.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a server box structure, and the device is described in detail in combination with the structure and working principle of the server box structure.

[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the server box structure proposed in the present application includes: a cover plate 10 and a box body 20; the cover plate 10 is fixed to the box body 20 by snap-fitting and / or riveting; at least one edge of the cover plate 10 protrudes from the box body 20, and the protruding portion is a first flange 11, and the first flange 11 has an avoidance groove 12, and the avoidance groove 12 passes through the first flange 11; the end of the box body 20 has a connection area 26, and the avoidance groove 12 is arranged corresponding to the connection area 26, and the width is not less than the width of the connection area 26.

[0034] The present application realizes the quick disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20 by setting the cover plate 10 to be clamped and / or riveted to the box body 20, and uses a simple structure. Compared with the design of the conventional server chassis upper cover in the industry using threaded parts (for example, screw connection), the box body 20 and the cover plate 10 proposed in the present application do not need to use a threaded part structure, which can effectively reduce the production process of the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 (for example, reducing the process of machining threaded holes), improve production efficiency, and at the same time, effectively reduce product costs and improve product competitiveness; by setting the avoidance groove 12 on the first convex edge 11, it is realized for the connection area 26, operating tools, hands, external cables and other external objects can be effectively avoided, thereby improving the convenience of subsequent operations such as plugging and unplugging cables and installing equipment on the server box structure; by setting the avoidance groove 12 corresponding to the connection area 26, and the width is not less than the width of the connection area 26, the rationality of the design of the position and size of the avoidance groove 12 and the reliable avoidance of external objects are further guaranteed; the present application has a simple structure and low cost, solves the problem of inconvenient disassembly and assembly of the chassis cover in the prior art and easy interference with the installation of external connections such as cables connected to the chassis, is convenient for assembly and subsequent maintenance, and is suitable for large-scale promotion and use.

[0035] It should be noted that the connection area 26 in this application is defined as the space around the server box, especially the space area at the end of the box for installing, plugging or operating external devices and related components. This area mainly includes the space for data cables, expansion cards and other connectors that are required for data transmission, power connection, signal transmission and other operations during the operation or maintenance of the server, and also takes into account the space required for hand operations of the staff when performing the above operations; the setting of the connection area 26 is to ensure that when the server is operating normally or maintained and upgraded, external objects can be plugged or adjusted without obstacles, thereby improving the maintainability and ease of use of the server.

[0036] Specifically, the scope of the connection area 26 in the server box structure proposed in this application has the following considerations: 1. Data cable plugging and unplugging: electronic devices inside the server, such as hard disk drives, network adapters, expansion cards, etc., need to be connected to external devices or networks through data cables. The connection area 26 must ensure that these data cables have enough space during plugging and unplugging operations to avoid physical interference of the cover plate 10 with the plugging and unplugging of data cables; 2. Expansion card installation: the scalability of the server is one of its important characteristics, and different application requirements can be met by installing or replacing expansion cards (such as PCIe cards, PCIe: Peripheralcomponent interconnect express, high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard). The connection area 26 must reserve the physical space required for installing the expansion card, as well as the space required for the engineer's hand operation when installing or replacing the expansion card; 3. Tool operation: during server maintenance or upgrades, engineers may need to use tools (such as screwdrivers and wrenches) to operate certain components. The connection area 26 must take into account the use space of these tools, ensuring that the cover plate 10 does not block the use of the tools, thereby simplifying the maintenance process. Therefore, the division of the connection area 26 plays a vital role in the structural design of the server box. It not only ensures the operability of the server during operation and maintenance, but also improves the utilization efficiency and user experience of the server box. The avoidance groove 12 in the present application is arranged corresponding to the connection area 26, and the width is not less than the width of the connection area 26. This design ensures that the cover plate 10 provides the necessary protection while avoiding interference with various external objects in the connection area 26, thereby achieving a balance between protection and operational convenience.

[0037] In actual applications, the width and position settings of the connection area 26 and the avoidance groove 12 need to be precisely designed according to the specifications of the server, the internal layout and the user's operating requirements to ensure the optimization of the server box structure, while also reflecting the flexibility and applicability of the design of this application; of course, this design concept is not only applicable to servers, but can also be extended to other electronic equipment chassis structures that require frequent plugging and unplugging of cables and maintenance operations, providing a new solution for improving equipment maintenance efficiency and user experience.

[0038] The design advantage of the present application is that the cover plate 10 is fixed to the box 20 by snapping, which simplifies the installation and removal process of the cover plate 10 and improves the maintenance efficiency of the server box structure. The design of the avoidance groove 12 ensures that when operating in the connection area 26, such as plugging and unplugging cables or installing equipment, it will not be hindered by the cover plate 10, thereby improving the convenience and safety of operation; the application scenarios of the above structure include server assembly, maintenance and upgrade, especially in high-density server environments, this design can significantly reduce the difficulty of maintenance personnel in limited space and improve work efficiency.

[0039] In a specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 7 and Fig.11 As shown, the avoidance groove 12 penetrates the first flange 11 along the thickness direction of the cover plate 10 ; and / or the avoidance groove 12 extends toward the inside of the cover plate 10 .

[0040] In the above embodiment, the avoidance groove 12 passes through the first flange 11 along the thickness direction of the cover plate 10, which means that the shape of the avoidance groove 12 is a penetrating type from top to bottom, thereby ensuring that the avoidance groove 12 is open throughout the entire thickness of the cover plate 10, facilitating external objects (such as operating tools or data cables) to pass through without contacting the cover plate 10; in addition, the avoidance groove 12 can also extend toward the interior of the cover plate 10, which indicates that the avoidance groove 12 is not only formed on the surface, but extends deep into the interior of the first flange 11, providing a larger space for avoiding external objects.

[0041] The above-mentioned embodiment sets the avoidance groove 12 as a penetrating or inwardly extending structure, which can ensure that when plugging and unplugging cables or performing other operations, operating tools or cables can easily pass through the avoidance groove 12, thereby avoiding any physical interference of the cover plate 10 with these operations; this not only improves the maintainability and ease of use of the server box structure, but also reduces the inconvenience during server maintenance and upgrading, making the operation more intuitive and convenient.

[0042] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the box body 20 has correspondingly arranged snap-in grooves 21 on both sides, and the cover plate 10 has snap-in portions 13 on both sides. The snap-in portion 13 on one side of the cover plate 10 snaps into engagement with the snap-in groove 21 on one side of the box body 20, and the snap-in portion 13 on the other side of the cover plate 10 snaps into engagement with the snap-in groove 21 on the other side of the box body 20, so that the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are snap-fitted and fixed.

[0043] The principle of the above-mentioned snap-on design is to utilize the snap-on parts 13 on both sides of the cover plate 10 to match the snap-on grooves 21 on both sides of the box body 20. The cover plate 10 can be installed and removed by a simple sliding fit operation without the need for additional fixing tools or parts, thereby simplifying the maintenance process of the server box structure; and the above-mentioned design can realize the rapid installation and removal of the cover plate 10, reducing maintenance costs and improving maintenance efficiency. The application scenarios are mainly in the daily maintenance and upgrade of the server, especially in situations where the cover plate 10 needs to be frequently removed and installed, such as on-site maintenance and troubleshooting of the server.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 7and Fig.11 As shown, the cover plate 10 includes a plate body 14, a first side body 15 and a second side body 16, wherein the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 are respectively arranged on both sides of the plate body 14 and protrude along the thickness direction of the plate body 14; a clamping portion 13 is arranged on a surface of the first side body 15 facing the second side body 16 and protrudes toward the second side body 16; another clamping portion 13 is arranged on a surface of the second side body 16 facing the first side body 15 and protrudes toward the first side body 15; wherein, when the cover plate 10 is clamped and fixed to the box body 20, the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 are respectively located on the outside of the box body 20.

[0045] The design principle of the above structure is to achieve stable fixation of the cover plate 10 by cooperating the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 on both sides of the cover plate 10 with the clamping grooves 21 on both sides of the box 20; the setting of the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 increases the structural strength of the cover plate 10 to prevent deformation or damage during use; the above design improves the installation stability of the cover plate 10 and enhances the protection capability of the server box structure. Application scenarios include high-load and high-vibration server environments, such as data center servers, high-performance computing servers, etc., to ensure the normal operation of the server in harsh environments.

[0046] In addition, the above design also ensures that the structure of the cover plate 10 is simplified, which is convenient for subsequent stamping and forming and controls costs.

[0047] like Figure 7 and Fig. 9 As shown, the clamping portion 13 includes a first support arm 131, a second support arm 132 and a clamping protrusion 133; one end of the first support arm 131 is connected to the cover plate 10, and the other end is connected to one end of the clamping protrusion 133, the first support arm 131 extends toward the interior of the cover plate 10, one end of the second support arm 132 is connected to the cover plate 10, and the other end is connected to the other end of the clamping protrusion 133, the second support arm 132 extends toward the interior of the cover plate 10; the clamping protrusion 133 is used to clamp and cooperate with the clamping groove 21.

[0048] Through the support of the first support arm 131 and the second support arm 132, it is ensured that the clamping protrusion 133 can stably cooperate with the clamping groove 21 during the clamping process, thereby realizing the rapid fixation of the cover plate 10; this arrangement improves the stability and reliability of the clamping process and reduces the displacement or damage of the cover plate 10 that may occur during the clamping process. The application scenario is mainly in the rapid assembly and disassembly of the server box structure, especially in the occasions where the cover plate 10 needs to be frequently disassembled and assembled, such as on-site maintenance and upgrading of the server.

[0049] In a specific embodiment of the present application, there is a first gap 134 between the covering plate 10 and both sides of at least a portion of the first support arm 131; and / or, there is a second gap 135 between the covering plate 10 and both sides of at least a portion of the second support arm 132; and / or, the covering plate 10 also has a hollow hole 136, which penetrates the covering plate 10 along the thickness direction of the covering plate 10 and corresponds to the snap-in protrusion 133.

[0050] The structural design in the above embodiment is to provide sufficient space to accommodate the deformation of the clamping part 13, thereby ensuring smooth clamping between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20; the setting of the first gap 134 and the second gap 135, and the design of the hollow hole 136 can significantly reduce the probability of the clamping part 13 getting stuck during the clamping process, ensuring a fast and stable clamping between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20, thereby improving the maintenance efficiency of the server box structure and user experience.

[0051] like Figure 4 and Fig. 9 As shown, the snap-fit ​​protrusion 133 protrudes along the thickness direction of the cover plate 10, and the protruding part is the snap-fit ​​body 137; when the cover plate 10 is snap-fitted and fixed to the box body 20, the snap-fit ​​body 137 is located inside the snap-fit ​​groove 21, and cooperates with the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 21 to limit the cover plate 10 along the width direction and / or thickness direction of the cover plate 10, and the cover plate 10 covers the snap-fit ​​groove 21.

[0052] Through the close fit between the snap-fit ​​body 137 and the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 21, the freedom of movement of the cover plate 10 in the width direction and the thickness direction is limited, thereby ensuring the firm fixation of the cover plate 10; the above design improves the fixing strength and stability of the cover plate 10 and enhances the protective capability of the server box structure.

[0053] In addition, it is worth mentioning that: when the cover plate 10 is fixed to the box body 20, the snap-fit ​​body 137 is located inside the cavity of the snap-fit ​​groove 21, and is limitedly matched with the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 21. At this time, the cover plate 10 and the snap-fit ​​body 137 are distributed on both sides of the wall of one side of the snap-fit ​​groove 21 (that is, the cover plate 10 is located on the outside of the outer wall of one side of the snap-fit ​​groove 21, and the snap-fit ​​body 137 is located inside the inner cavity of the outer wall of this side of the snap-fit ​​groove 21). This arrangement further improves the matching strength between the snap-fit ​​protrusion 133 and the snap-fit ​​groove 21.

[0054] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the clamping portion 13 and the cover plate 10 are integrally formed; and / or, the clamping portion 13 is formed by stamping; and / or, the cover plate 10 is formed by stamping.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the clamping portion 13 and the covering plate 10 can be integrally formed by a stamping process; at the same time, the entire covering plate 10 can also be formed by stamping, which means that the clamping portion 13 and the covering plate 10 can be manufactured as a whole without additional assembly steps, thereby simplifying the production process.

[0056] The one-piece molding and stamping molding design in the above embodiment not only reduces the production cost and reduces the production process, but also improves the structural strength between the cover plate 10 and the clamping part 13, and reduces the risk of structural failure due to improper assembly. The above design is of great significance for improving the production efficiency and product quality of the server box structure.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the snap-in groove 21 has a longitudinal extension section 211 and a horizontal extension section 212. The top of the longitudinal extension section 211 has an entrance, and one end of the horizontal extension section 212 is connected to the bottom end of the longitudinal extension section 211; the snap-in portion 13 enters the longitudinal extension section 211 from the entrance of the corresponding snap-in groove 21, and then enters the horizontal extension section 212, so as to snap-in and fix the cover plate 10 on the box body 20.

[0058] Through the combination of the longitudinal extension section 211 and the horizontal extension section 212, space is provided for the clamping portion 13 to enter and be fixed, while limiting the movement direction of the cover plate 10 during the installation process, thereby ensuring the correct installation of the cover plate 10; at the same time, the above design simplifies the installation process of the cover plate 10 and improves the installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0059] In a specific embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, at least one of the entrance of the longitudinal extension section 211 and the connection between the horizontal extension section 212 and the longitudinal extension section 211 is rounded.

[0060] In the above embodiment, at least one of the entrance of the longitudinal extension section 211 of the snap-in groove 21, or the connection between the horizontal extension section 212 and the longitudinal extension section 211 is chamfered. The purpose of this design is to reduce the hard contact and potential wear between the cover plate 10 and the snap-in groove 21 during the snap-in process.

[0061] The rounded corners in the above embodiment can significantly reduce the risk of wear on the cover plate 10 and the snap-on portion 13 during installation and disassembly, while also making the snap-on process smoother, reducing the difficulty of operation, improving the snap-on experience between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20, and further extending the service life of the server box structure.

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, there are multiple clamping parts 13, and the multiple clamping parts 13 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cover plate 10; there are multiple clamping grooves 21, and the multiple clamping grooves 21 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the box body 20, and at least a part of the multiple clamping grooves 21 are arranged one-to-one correspondingly to the multiple clamping parts 13.

[0063] By correspondingly arranging a plurality of snap-fitting portions 13 and snap-fitting grooves 21 on the cover plate 10 and the box body 20, the contact points between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are increased, thereby improving the fixing strength and stability of the cover plate 10; in addition, the cover plate 10 can be more firmly fixed to the box body 20, thereby enhancing the protection performance, strength, stiffness and other mechanical properties of the server box structure.

[0064] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the covering plate 10 includes a plate body 14 and an extension portion 17, wherein the extension portion 17 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 and protrudes from the plate body 14; a hole groove 22 is provided on the box body 20; when the covering plate 10 is snap-fitted and fixed to the box body 20, at least a portion of the extension portion 17 extends into the hole groove 22 and cooperates with the inner wall of the hole groove 22 to constrain the covering plate 10.

[0065] Through the cooperation between the extension portion 17 and the opening groove 22, the movement of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20 is further limited, thereby enhancing the fixing effect and positioning effect of the cover plate 10. This arrangement not only makes the connection between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 more stable, thereby improving the protection performance of the server box body structure, but also improves the installation accuracy of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20.

[0066] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple extension parts 17 , which are arranged at intervals at one end of the plate body 14 ; there are multiple opening slots 22 , and at least a portion of the multiple opening slots 22 are arranged one-to-one correspondingly to the multiple extension parts 17 .

[0067] By providing a plurality of extensions 17 at one end of the cover plate 10 and providing a plurality of corresponding opening slots 22 on the box body 20, the contact points between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are increased, thereby improving the fixing strength and stability of the cover plate 10. The actual use effect is that the cover plate 10 can be more firmly fixed on the box body 20, thereby enhancing the overall strength of the server box structure.

[0068] like Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the plate body 14 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction which are perpendicular to each other; the covering plate 10 also includes a first side body 15 and a second side body 16, and the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the plate body 14 along the width direction, and protrude respectively along the thickness direction of the plate body 14; the extension portion 17 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 along the length direction, and protrudes along the length direction.

[0069] By arranging the first side body 15 and the second side body 16 on both sides of the cover plate 10 and arranging the extension portion 17 at one end of the plate body 14, the structural strength and stability of the cover plate 10 are increased. At the same time, the structure ensures that the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are in contact with each other at multiple angles, thereby improving the fixing effect of the cover plate 10, making the connection between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 more stable, and improving the protection performance of the server box structure.

[0070] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the covering plate 10 includes a plate body 14, a flange portion 18 and a positioning portion 19. The plate body 14 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction which are perpendicular to each other; the flange portion 18 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 along the length direction, and protrudes along the thickness direction of the plate body 14; the positioning portion 19 is arranged on the flange portion 18, and protrudes along the length direction; a positioning groove 23 is provided on the box body 20; when the covering plate 10 is clamped and fixed to the box body 20, at least a part of the positioning portion 19 extends into the positioning groove 23, and cooperates with the inner wall of the positioning groove 23 to constrain the covering plate 10.

[0071] Through the cooperation between the positioning portion 19 and the positioning groove 23, the accurate positioning of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20 is ensured, and the displacement or shaking of the cover plate 10 during use is prevented, thereby improving the protection performance and stability of the server box body structure; at the same time, it also makes the connection between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 more stable, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the server box body structure.

[0072] like Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the flange portion 18 extends along the width direction; there are multiple positioning portions 19, and the multiple positioning portions 19 are arranged on the flange portion 18 at intervals along the width direction of the plate body 14; there are multiple positioning grooves 23, and at least a portion of the multiple positioning grooves 23 are arranged one-to-one correspondingly to the multiple positioning portions 19.

[0073] By providing a plurality of positioning portions 19 on the flange portion 18 and providing a plurality of corresponding positioning grooves 23 on the box body 20, the contact points between the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are increased, thereby improving the fixing strength and stability of the cover plate 10, and further ensuring the accurate positioning of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20. The above design enables the cover plate 10 to be more firmly fixed on the box body 20, thereby enhancing the protection performance and stability of the server box structure. Practical application scenarios include daily maintenance and upgrades of servers, especially in situations where the integrity and protection performance of the server box structure need to be ensured, such as transportation and storage of servers.

[0074] like Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, the covering plate 10 also includes an extension portion 17, a first side body 15 and a second side body 16. The first side body 15 and the second side body 16 are respectively arranged at the two ends of the plate body 14 along the width direction, and protrude along the thickness direction of the plate body 14 respectively; the extension portion 17 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 along the length direction, and protrudes along the length direction, the flange portion 18 is arranged at the other end of the plate body 14 along the length direction, and the protruding direction of the positioning portion 19 is the same as the protruding direction of the extension portion 17.

[0075] By providing the extension portion 17, the first side body 15, the second side body 16, the flange portion 18 and the positioning portion 19 on the cover plate 10, the structural strength and stability of the cover plate 10 are increased, while providing the opportunity for multi-angle cooperation with the box body 20, thereby improving the fixing effect and positioning accuracy of the cover plate 10.

[0076] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the interior of the box 20 has a protective cavity 24, which is used to accommodate electrical equipment; the box 20 also has a through hole 25 connected to the protective cavity 24, and the cover plate 10 is detachably arranged on the box 20 to cover at least a portion of the through hole 25; wherein the avoidance groove 12 is not connected to the through hole 25.

[0077] By providing a protective cavity 24 inside the box body 20, a safe installation space is provided for the electrical equipment to prevent interference and damage to the electrical equipment by the external environment; the design of the through-port 25 ensures the maintainability and upgradeability of the electrical equipment, and the detachable setting of the cover plate 10 further simplifies the maintenance and disassembly process; the non-connected design of the avoidance groove 12 and the through-port 25 ensures that when operations are performed in the connection area 26, such as plugging and unplugging cables or installing equipment, the protective effect of the through-port 25 will not be affected.

[0078] The above design improves the protection performance and stability of the server box structure, while simplifying the maintenance and disassembly process.

[0079] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the cover plate 10 and the box body 20 are respectively projected along the thickness direction of the cover plate 10 onto the same plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the cover plate 10, the projection of the avoidance groove 12 is spaced apart from the projection of the through opening 25, and the projection of the cover plate 10 covers at least a portion of the projection of the through opening 25.

[0080] In the above embodiment, the projection of the avoidance groove 12 and the projection of the through opening 25 are spaced apart on the same plane perpendicular to the thickness direction of the covering plate 10, and the projection of the covering plate 10 covers at least a portion of the projection of the through opening 25, which means that the avoidance groove 12 actually avoids the direct area of ​​the through opening 25, but the covering plate 10 can still at least partially cover the through opening 25 when installed, thereby maintaining protection for the through opening 25 while providing avoidance space.

[0081] The above-mentioned embodiment cleverly solves the contradiction between protection and operating space through the design of such projection interval. Under the premise of not affecting the normal use of the passage opening, the avoidance groove 12 ensures that operating tools or cables can move freely in the space where the avoidance groove 12 is located. At the same time, the covering plate 10 shields the passage opening 25, reduces the pollution and damage of the external environment to the internal components of the server, and enhances the overall protection capability of the server.

[0082] In another specific embodiment of the present application, the covering plate 10 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction which are perpendicular to each other; the box body 20 includes a main body, a first carrier and a second carrier, the first carrier is detachably arranged at one end of the main body along the width direction, and the second carrier is detachably arranged at the other end of the main body along the width direction; the snap-fit ​​grooves 21 are respectively arranged on the first carrier and the second carrier; the snap-fitting portions 13 are arranged at both ends of the covering plate 10 along the width direction.

[0083] Based on the above embodiments, it is also possible to more specifically configure the first carrier and the second carrier to extend respectively along the length direction and be arranged parallel to each other; there are multiple clamping parts 13, and the multiple clamping parts 13 are arranged at intervals along the length direction; there are multiple clamping grooves 21, and the multiple clamping grooves 21 are arranged at intervals along the length direction, and at least a part of the multiple clamping grooves 21 are arranged one-to-one correspondingly to the multiple clamping parts 13.

[0084] The above-mentioned snap-fit ​​structure design can ensure that the cover plate 10 is firmly fixed in the width direction. At the same time, by providing a plurality of snap-fit ​​grooves 21 on the first carrier and the second carrier, and providing a plurality of snap-fit ​​portions 13 on the cover plate 10, the stability of the cover plate 10 is further improved. This design method simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the cover plate 10, and also enhances the structural strength and stability of the entire server box structure.

[0085] In addition, the above design makes it possible for the snap-in groove 21 not to be directly set on the box body 20, and thus the existing molded chassis can be improved by processing and forming the first carrier body and the second carrier body, that is, the first carrier body and the second carrier body are processed and installed on the existing chassis, so that the existing chassis can be used in conjunction with the cover plate 10 proposed in this application.

[0086] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the cover plate 10 has a ventilation hole 191 penetrating the cover plate 10 . The ventilation hole 191 is spaced apart from the avoidance groove 12 and communicated with the through opening 25 .

[0087] By arranging the ventilation holes 191 on the cover plate 10, a good heat dissipation effect is provided for the server box structure to prevent the electrical equipment from overheating. At the same time, by arranging the ventilation holes 191 at intervals with the avoidance groove 12, the influence of the ventilation holes 191 on the function of the avoidance groove 12 is avoided; the connection design between the ventilation holes 191 and the through-port 25 ensures the heat dissipation effect of the electrical equipment and improves the stability and reliability of the server box structure.

[0088] like Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the ventilation hole 191 is a regular hexagonal hole with a side length of no more than 4.4 mm; and / or, there are a plurality of ventilation holes 191, and the plurality of ventilation holes 191 are arranged in rows and / or columns at intervals.

[0089] By providing the regular hexagonal ventilation holes 191, a good heat dissipation effect is ensured, and the electromagnetic compatibility requirements are met, preventing external electromagnetic interference from affecting the normal operation of the server. The design of arranging multiple ventilation holes 191 in rows and / or columns further improves the heat dissipation effect and ensures that the electrical equipment inside the server box structure can operate at a more appropriate temperature.

[0090] The above design improves the heat dissipation performance and electromagnetic compatibility of the server box structure, effectively prevents overheating of electrical equipment, and improves the stability and reliability of the server box structure. Application scenarios include daily operation of servers, especially in high-load and high-temperature environments, such as data center servers, high-performance computing servers, etc.

[0091] like Figure 7 , Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, a plurality of ventilation holes 191 are arranged in rows and columns at intervals to form a first ventilation matrix 192 and a second ventilation matrix 193; the covering plate 10 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction that are perpendicular to each other; the plurality of ventilation holes 191 in the first ventilation matrix 192 are arranged in rows along the width direction and in columns along the length direction; the plurality of ventilation holes 191 in the second ventilation matrix 193 are arranged in rows along the width direction and in columns along the length direction; wherein the first ventilation matrix 192 and the second ventilation matrix 193 are spaced apart along the length direction.

[0092] By setting the first ventilation matrix 192 and the second ventilation matrix 193 on the cover plate 10, the heat dissipation holes on the cover plate 10 are evenly distributed, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, by setting the intervals, the mutual influence between the two ventilation matrices is avoided, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of each ventilation hole 191.

[0093] It should be noted that: in the present application, the ventilation holes 191 are designed as regular hexagons and arranged in rows and columns. This design shows significant technical advantages and innovations in the mechanical field, especially in the design of server box structures. The following is a detailed description: 1. Maximizing space utilization: Compared with circular holes, the regular hexagonal ventilation holes 191 can be arranged more densely on the cover plate 10. This is because the regular hexagonal holes can fill the space seamlessly, while there will always be a certain tangent gap between the circular holes due to their geometric characteristics, which makes it impossible for the circular holes to reach the highest density on the cover plate 10 of the same area; the close arrangement of the regular hexagonal holes means that more ventilation holes 191 can be provided within the limited area of ​​the cover plate 10, thereby increasing the area for air circulation and improving heat dissipation efficiency; 2. Improved heat dissipation performance: The dense arrangement of the ventilation holes 191 makes the air circulation smoother. Even when the server is running at high load, the hot air can be quickly discharged and the cold air can be absorbed through the regular hexagonal ventilation holes 191 of the cover plate 10, so as to keep the internal temperature of the server within a safe range, reduce the failure rate of the server due to overheating, and extend the service life of the server; 3. Cost-effectiveness: Since the high-density arrangement of the regular hexagonal holes can achieve more effective ventilation, it may not be necessary to use larger or more heat dissipation devices when designing the cover plate 10, thereby reducing material costs and production costs. In addition, efficient heat dissipation also means that the temperature of the server can be better controlled during operation, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the cooling system and reducing the overall operating costs; 4. Electromagnetic compatibility: The side length of the regular hexagonal hole is designed to be no more than 4.4 mm. This is to meet the requirements of electromagnetic compatibility. The smaller aperture can effectively shield electromagnetic waves, prevent external electromagnetic interference from affecting the signal transmission and data processing inside the server, and ensure the stable operation of the server. In contrast, if a circular hole larger than 4.4 mm is used, the same electromagnetic shielding effect and heat dissipation effect may not be achieved, and the regular hexagonal ventilation hole 191 provides a better solution in this regard; 5. Structural strength and rigidity: The arrangement of the regular hexagonal holes not only optimizes the heat dissipation performance, but also takes into account the structural strength and rigidity of the cover plate 10. Compared with the circular holes, the regular hexagonal holes form a more continuous structure in the cover plate 10, which helps to reduce the deformation of the cover plate 10 during long-term use, maintain the flatness and integrity of the cover plate 10, and improve the reliability of the entire server box structure; 6. Processing convenience: The stamping process of the regular hexagonal hole is relatively simple, which can achieve mass production and improve production efficiency. At the same time, since the regular hexagonal holes can be closely arranged, the waste of the material of the cover plate 10 is reduced, and the production cost is further reduced.

[0094] Therefore, the design of the regular hexagonal ventilation holes 191 in the present application, combined with the ventilation matrix design in rows and columns, is based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as space utilization, heat dissipation performance, cost control, electromagnetic compatibility, and structural strength; this innovative design enables the server box structure to effectively control electromagnetic interference while meeting the needs of efficient heat dissipation, ensuring the stability and safety of the server, while reducing production costs, reflecting the practicality and economic benefits of the design.

[0095] In addition, it is worth mentioning that in actual use, by setting the distance between the first ventilation matrix 192 and the second ventilation matrix 193 and the internal fan, one of the ventilation matrices can be set as an air inlet matrix and the other ventilation matrix can be set as an air outlet matrix, thereby making the airflow in the protective cavity 24 inside the box body 20 more reasonable and optimizing the airflow distribution of the internal heat dissipation wind field.

[0096] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the server box structure further includes a cover plate lock 30 , and the cover plate lock 30 is used to lock and fix the cover plate 10 on the box 20 .

[0097] In the above embodiment, the server box structure also includes a cover lock 30 for locking and fixing the cover plate 10 on the box 20, which means that even if the cover plate 10 and the box 20 are fixed by snap connection, in order to further ensure the stability of the cover plate 10, an additional cover lock 30 can be designed; the addition of the cover lock 30 not only can firmly fix the cover plate 10 on the box 20 to prevent accidental falling off during transportation or operation, but also improves the safety of the server box structure and ensures the safety of the internal components of the server.

[0098] Optionally, the covering plate 10 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction which are perpendicular to each other; the box body 20 has correspondingly arranged plug-in grooves on both sides along the width direction, and the plug-in grooves are L-shaped grooves, and the L-shaped grooves have a longitudinal fitting section and a horizontal fitting section, and the longitudinal fitting section is connected to the horizontal fitting section, and extends respectively along the length direction; the longitudinal fitting section and the horizontal fitting section have insertion ports at one end along the length direction, and the covering plate 10 enters the longitudinal fitting section and the horizontal fitting section simultaneously from the corresponding insertion ports on both sides along the width direction, and the inner wall of the horizontal fitting section along the thickness direction and the inner wall of the longitudinal fitting section along the width direction jointly constrain the covering plate 10 so that the covering plate 10 can only slide along the length direction.

[0099] The longitudinal and horizontal matching sections of the L-shaped grooves match the two sides of the cover plate 10, so that the cover plate 10 can be quickly installed and removed from the box body 20, and the movement of the cover plate 10 in the width direction and the thickness direction is strictly limited, ensuring the stable fixation of the cover plate 10. The above design simplifies the installation and removal process of the cover plate 10, improves the maintenance efficiency of the server box structure, and ensures the stable fixation of the cover plate 10.

[0100] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the server box structure also includes an electrical bracket, which is used to install electrical equipment. The edge of the electrical bracket is provided with a avoidance groove 41, which is used to avoid objects located outside the electrical bracket.

[0101] By providing the avoidance groove 41 on the edge of the electrical bracket, additional space is provided for the installation and maintenance of the electrical equipment, avoiding the interference of the electrical bracket with external objects such as operating tools or human hands during the installation and maintenance process, and improving the convenience and safety of the operation. This arrangement simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the electrical equipment and improves the maintenance efficiency and safety of the server box structure. Application scenarios include the assembly, maintenance and upgrade of the server, especially in situations where electrical equipment needs to be installed or maintained on the electrical bracket, such as on-site maintenance and troubleshooting of the server.

[0102] like Figure 5 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, the electrical bracket includes an extension bracket 40 , and the extension bracket 40 is used to install the extension card 50 . The edge of the extension bracket 40 has a avoidance groove 41 .

[0103] By providing a avoidance groove 41 on the edge of the expansion bracket 40, additional space is provided for the installation and maintenance of the expansion card 50, avoiding interference of the expansion bracket 40 with external objects such as operating tools, data cables, and human hands during the installation and maintenance process, thereby improving the convenience and safety of operation. This arrangement simplifies the installation and maintenance process of the expansion card 50 and improves the maintenance efficiency and safety of the server box structure. Application scenarios include server assembly, maintenance and upgrades, especially in situations where it is necessary to install or maintain the expansion card 50 on the expansion bracket 40, such as on-site maintenance and troubleshooting of the server, and especially the installation and upgrade of the expansion card 50 when it is necessary to increase the function or performance of the server.

[0104] In a specific embodiment of the present application, the avoidance groove 41 passes through the edge of the extension bracket 40 and extends toward the inside of the extension bracket 40 .

[0105] The design of the avoidance groove 41 in the above embodiment ensures that when plugging or unplugging the data cable 60 or installing the expansion card 50, the operator's hands or tools can pass through the avoidance groove 41 without hindrance to directly operate the expansion card 50, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of the operation. At the same time, it also avoids damage to the expansion bracket 40 and extends the service life of the server box structure.

[0106] It is worth noting that: in a specific embodiment of the present application, the server also includes an expansion card 50 and a data cable 60, and the electrical bracket includes an expansion bracket 40, and the edge of the expansion bracket 40 has a avoidance groove 41; wherein, the expansion card 50 is installed on the expansion bracket 40, and one end of the data cable 60 is inserted into the expansion card 50 to be connected to the expansion card 50; the extension direction of the avoidance groove 41 is parallel to the movement direction of the data cable 60 when it is inserted into the expansion card 50.

[0107] By designing the extension direction of the avoidance groove 41 in the above embodiment to be parallel to the movement direction of the data cable 60 when inserted into the expansion card 50, an effective avoidance space is provided, making the operation of the data cable 60 and the expansion card 50 more convenient; this embodiment ensures that the data cable 60 and the expansion card 50 will not be hindered by any physical obstacles during operation, and the operator can plug and unplug the cable or install the expansion card more easily, thereby improving the usability and maintenance efficiency of the electrical equipment, while also reducing the risk of damage that may occur during operation, and improving the overall performance and reliability of the electrical equipment; the design of the above embodiment not only enhances the scalability of the server, but also optimizes the operating process, greatly improving the user experience when using and maintaining the server.

[0108] The specific structure and design principle of an embodiment of the present application are now described in detail as follows:

[0109] Figure 1 The overall appearance diagram of the server box structure is shown. It can be seen that the server box structure is composed of a box body 20 and a cover plate 10. The box body 20 has an internal protection cavity 24 for accommodating electrical equipment, and a through hole 25 connected to the protection cavity 24. The cover plate 10 is designed to be detachably arranged on the box body 20 to cover the through hole 25 to protect the electrical equipment from external factors; it is worth noting that the edge of the cover plate 10 is provided with a first convex edge 11, and the first convex edge 11 is provided with an avoidance groove 12, which runs through the first convex edge 11 and corresponds to the connection area 26 of the box body 20, so as to avoid interference with external objects such as cables of the electrical equipment in the connection area 26, and ensure the convenience of operation.

[0110] Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7From the combination, we can get the process of the clamping and fixing of the cover plate 10 and the box body 20. In the figure, the box body 20 has a clamping groove 21 on both sides, which is an L-shaped groove, consisting of a longitudinal extension section 211 and a horizontal extension section 212. The top of the longitudinal extension section 211 is provided with an entrance, and one end of the horizontal extension section 212 is connected to the bottom end of the longitudinal extension section 211. The cover plate 10 has a clamping part 13 on both sides, which includes a first support arm 131, a second support arm 132 and a clamping protrusion 133. One end of the first support arm 131 and the second support arm 132 is connected to the cover plate 10, and the other end is connected to the clamping protrusion 133. The clamping protrusion 133 is used to cooperate with the inner wall of the clamping groove 21 to achieve the clamping and fixing of the cover plate 10 and the box body 20. The snap-fit ​​protrusion 133 protrudes along the thickness direction of the cover plate 10 to form a snap-fit ​​body 137. When the cover plate 10 is installed on the box body 20, the snap-fit ​​body 137 is located inside the snap-fit ​​groove 21 and cooperates with the inner wall of the snap-fit ​​groove 21 to limit the cover plate 10 in the width and thickness directions, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation and the accuracy of the positioning.

[0111] Figures 7 to 12 The structural details of the cover plate 10 are shown. The cover plate 10 is composed of a plate body 14, a first side body 15 and a second side body 16. The first side body 15 and the second side body 16 are respectively arranged at both ends of the plate body 14 in the width direction and protrude in the thickness direction of the plate body 14. The extension part 17 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 in the length direction and protrudes in the length direction, and is used to extend into the opening slot 22 of the box body 20 to further constrain the cover plate 10 and ensure its stable installation on the box body 20. In addition, the ventilation hole 191 runs through the cover plate 10, is spaced from the avoidance groove 12, and is connected to the through port 25. The ventilation hole 191 is a regular hexagonal hole with a side length of no more than 4.4 mm, which effectively prevents electromagnetic interference and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the system. There are multiple ventilation holes 191, which are arranged in rows and / or columns to form a first ventilation matrix 192 and a second ventilation matrix 193. The two matrices are arranged at intervals along the length direction, which not only ensures good heat dissipation performance but also meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements.

[0112] Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9 The cover plate 10 and the box body 20 can be combined to show the sliding constraint design. The electrical bracket is used to install electrical equipment, and a clearance groove 41 is provided on its edge. The clearance groove 41 is used to avoid objects outside the electrical bracket, such as cables, radiators, etc., to ensure that the normal operation of the electrical equipment is not hindered. In some embodiments, Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the electrical bracket can be further divided into a basic bracket and an extended bracket 40. The extended bracket 40 is used to install devices such as an expansion card 50. Its edge is also provided with a avoidance groove 41 to meet the installation requirements of different devices, thereby enhancing the system compatibility and flexibility.

[0113] Figure 7 and Fig.10 The positioning design of the cover plate 10 is shown. The cover plate 10 includes a plate body 14, a flange portion 18 and a positioning portion 19. The plate body 14 has a thickness direction, a width direction and a length direction that are perpendicular to each other. The flange portion 18 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 along the length direction and protrudes along the thickness direction of the plate body 14. The positioning portion 19 is arranged on the flange portion 18 and protrudes along the length direction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the box body 20 has a positioning groove 23, and at least a portion of the positioning portion 19 extends into the positioning groove 23 and cooperates with the inner wall of the positioning groove 23 to further constrain the cover plate 10 and ensure that it is accurately positioned on the box body 20. There are multiple positioning portions 19, and the multiple positioning portions 19 are arranged on the flange portion 18 at intervals along the width direction of the plate body 14. There are also multiple positioning grooves 23, and at least a portion of the multiple positioning grooves 23 is arranged one-to-one with the multiple positioning portions 19. This multi-point positioning design effectively improves the stability and reliability of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20.

[0114] Figure 7 The cover plate 10 in the embodiment includes an extension portion 17, a first side body 15 and a second side body 16. The extension portion 17 is arranged at one end of the plate body 14 along the length direction and protrudes along the length direction to extend into the opening slot 22 of the box body 20 to constrain the cover plate 10. The flange portion 18 is arranged along the other end in the length direction, and the protruding direction of the positioning portion 19 is the same as that of the extension portion 17. This design ensures the comprehensive constraint and positioning of the cover plate 10 on the box body 20, and improves the stability of the structure and the convenience of operation.

[0115] Through the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments, the server box structure of the present application not only simplifies the disassembly and assembly process and improves the maintenance efficiency, but also improves the installation method of the cover plate 10 through the avoidance groove 12 and the snap-on fixing design, thereby reducing the production process, improving the production efficiency, reducing the product cost, and enhancing the product competitiveness; at the same time, the avoidance groove design of the electrical bracket and the extension bracket 40 ensures the normal operation of the electrical equipment and improves the system compatibility; in addition, the matrix design of the ventilation holes 191 not only ensures good heat dissipation performance, but also meets the electromagnetic compatibility requirements, thereby realizing the comprehensive optimization of the server box structure in terms of heat dissipation, electromagnetic shielding, etc., thereby improving the usability and maintainability of the server box structure, reducing the maintenance cost, and being suitable for large-scale promotion and use.

[0116] The server box structure proposed in the present application can be manually operated and maintained without tools, and its structure can be applied to server boxes of various specifications; the cover plate 10 has a structure design without threaded parts as a whole. Compared with the conventional design of using threaded parts on the upper cover of the server box in the industry (for example, the design of setting screws on both sides of the upper cover of the box for fixed connection), the cover plate 10 in the present application has a structure design without threaded parts as a whole, which can reduce production processes, improve production efficiency, reduce product costs, and improve product competitiveness.

[0117] By designing a cover plate lock 30 on the cover plate 10, the tool-free maintenance operation and locking function of the cover plate 10 are realized; the cover plate lock 30 is fixed with the positioning pins on the box body 20 to complete the fixing and locking of the cover plate 10; in actual use, the cover plate lock 30 can be placed in the middle area of ​​the cover plate 10, which further facilitates the staff to install and remove the cover plate 10.

[0118] Regular hexagonal ventilation holes 191 are designed on the cover plate 10 to maximize the system's heat dissipation ventilation volume and reduce the system's power consumption temperature; the first ventilation matrix 192 located at the front end of the cover plate 10 along the length direction includes three rows of ventilation holes 191 to increase the system's air intake; the second ventilation matrix 193 located at the rear end of the cover plate 10 along the length direction includes four rows of ventilation holes 191 to increase the system's air output; the ventilation holes 191 on the cover plate 10 not only improve the system's heat dissipation function, but also meet the product's electromagnetic compatibility requirements. The ventilation holes 191 can be designed as a regular hexagon with a side length of 4.4 mm.

[0119] The expansion bracket 40 (such as a PCIe card bracket, PCIe: Peripheral component interconnect express, a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard) has a clearance groove 41 for avoiding data cable plugging and unplugging operations. In the server cable plugging and unplugging area, a cable plugging and unplugging operation space is reserved, which enables the function of directly plugging and unplugging cables by hand, thereby improving the ease of use and maintainability of the product. The brackets in the industry's server products usually do not have such an operation clearance design of the clearance groove 41, so tools are usually required to implement the plugging and unplugging operations of data cables at the back and top of the product. The structural design of the clearance groove 41 on the expansion bracket 40 improves the ease of use and convenience of cable plugging and unplugging operations of server products, which is better than conventional server products in the industry.

[0120] In summary, the present application provides a server box structure. The present application realizes the quick disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 10 on the box 20 by setting a cover plate 10 to be clamped and / or riveted to the box 20, and uses a simple structure.
