[0027] 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.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7The embodiment of the present application provides a cable management device 100 for organizing the connection cables between different motherboards in a server 200. The cable management device 100 includes a first mounting seat 110, a cable management seat 120, and a locking assembly 130. The first mounting seat 110 is installed in a chassis 210 of the server 200, and the first mounting seat 110 has a first cable hole 111; the cable management seat 120 is arranged on the first mounting seat 110, and the cable management seat 120 has a second cable hole 121, and the second cable hole The positions of 121 and the first wire passing hole 111 are relative, and the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121 has a first card slot 1222 connected to the second wire passing hole 121, and the cable is configured to pass through the first wire passing hole 111 and the second wire passing hole 121 respectively, and be clamped in the first card slot 1222; the locking assembly 130 is fixed on the cable management seat 120, and the locking assembly 130 is detachably connected to the first mounting seat 110, so that the cable management seat 120 can be detachably installed on the first mounting seat 110 through the locking assembly 130.

[0029] The cable management device 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can not only initially gather the cables to avoid the cables being randomly distributed in the chassis 210 by providing a first cable hole 111 on the first mounting seat 110, but also facilitate the cables to be passed from the bottom area of ​​the first mounting seat 110 to the upper area of ​​the first mounting seat 110. By providing a second cable hole 121 corresponding to the position of the first cable hole on the cable management seat 120, and providing a first card slot 1222 on the inner wall of the second cable hole 121, the cables passing through the first cable hole can be further guided and gathered through the second cable hole, and the cables can be combed and fixed through the first card slot 1222, so that the cable layout is neat and standardized, and the problems of cable entanglement, pulling and wear can be avoided, and the messy cables can be avoided from affecting the heat dissipation of the device, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the device. The cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are detachably connected by the locking component 130, and the technicians can quickly disassemble and install the cable management seat 120, and conveniently operate the cables and the motherboard, which significantly reduces the difficulty of work and time cost.

[0030] Specifically, when connecting the cables between the two mainboards, the operation and maintenance personnel can connect the first end of the cable to the corresponding interface on one of the mainboards, then hold the second end of the cable with one hand, and pass the second end of the cable through the first wire hole 111 on the first mounting seat 110 from the bottom, and then use the other hand to pull the second end of the cable out from the top of the first mounting seat 110, and repeat the above steps until all the cables pass through the first wire hole 111, and then pass the second ends of the cables through the second wire holes 121 on the cable management seat 120 one by one, and then the cable management seat 120 can be detachably installed on the first mounting seat 110 through the locking assembly 130, and then the cables can be separated one by one, so that the cables are respectively inserted into the corresponding first card slots 1222, and finally the second end of the cable is connected to the interface on the other mainboard, thereby completing the installation of the cable. When removing the cables, the two ends of the cables can be unplugged from the interfaces on the two mainboards respectively, and then the locking assembly 130 can be removed from the first mounting seat 110, and then all the cables and the cable management seat 120 can be taken out directly from above the first mounting seat 110. It can be seen that both installation and removal are extremely convenient, and during the assembly and removal process, since each cable is combed and fixed through the second cable hole 121 and the first card slot 1222, the problem of messy distribution and entanglement of the cables is avoided.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the first mounting seat 110 may have a projection surface perpendicular to the axial direction of the first wire hole 111, and the orthographic projections of the second wire hole 121 and the first clamping groove 1222 on the projection surface both fall within the orthographic projection range of the first wire hole 111 on the projection surface. This design can make the second wire hole 121 smaller than the first wire hole 111, so that the cables can be further converged through the second wire hole 121 after passing through the first wire hole 111, and the position of the first clamping groove 1222 can be within the vertical projection area of ​​the first wire hole 111, ensuring that the cables can be smoothly inserted into the first clamping groove 1222. The shape of the first clamping groove 1222 can be designed according to the cross-sectional shape of the cable, so as to facilitate the cable to be more conveniently and tightly clamped into the first mounting groove. Specifically, the shape of the first mounting groove can be designed to be rectangular, semicircular or other shapes. The number of the first clamping grooves 1222 can be consistent with the number of cables, and each cable is clamped into the corresponding first clamping groove 1222 one by one.

[0032] In the above embodiment, the inner wall of the second wire hole 121 may be provided with a flexible clamping member 122, which extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the second wire hole 121, and a first clamping groove 1222 is provided on the clamping member 122. There are a plurality of first clamping grooves 1222, and the plurality of first clamping grooves 1222 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the second wire hole 121. It can be understood that the flexible clamping member 122 is arranged on the inner wall of the second wire hole 121, and the clamping member 122 extends continuously circumferentially along the inner wall of the second wire hole 121, similar to adding a tightly fitting "soft lining" to the wire hole, so that the cable can be prevented from being worn and scratched by the edge of the second wire hole 121 when passing through the second wire hole 121, thereby protecting the cable. By opening the first card slot 1222 on the card member 122, on the one hand, the inner wall of the first card slot 1222 can be made elastic, so that the cable can be more tightly and firmly connected to the first card slot 1222. On the other hand, the first card slot 1222 is flexible and can further protect the cable. By setting a plurality of first card slots 1222 and making these card slots evenly spaced along the circumference of the second wire hole 121, a rich card setting selection can be provided for cables of different directions and specifications. The operation and maintenance personnel can accurately and one-to-one correspond the cables of different specifications and models into the appropriate first card slot 1222 according to the actual situation of the cable, so that the cable layout is more neat and standardized. For example, in a high-performance server 200 with a complex cable layout, various power cables, data cables, control cables, etc. are of different thicknesses and different uses. Through this design, the cables can be in place, which not only fundamentally eliminates the problems of entanglement, pulling and wear, but also ensures that each cable can be firmly fixed, thereby greatly improving the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0033] Among them, the clamping part 122 can specifically choose to use a rubber sleeve, and the rubber sleeve can be arranged at the second wire hole 121 by clamping. This arrangement method can facilitate the rubber sleeve to be removed from the second wire hole 121 for replacement at any time when needed. For example, when the model and type of the cable changes, a rubber sleeve with a suitable first clamping groove 1222 can be selected for replacement without replacing the entire cable management seat 120, thereby improving the flexibility and application range of the cable management device 100 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] In the above embodiment, the first mounting seat 110 may be provided with at least two first positioning structures 112, and the cable management seat 120 may be provided with at least two second positioning structures 123 corresponding to the positions of the first positioning structures 112, and the first positioning structures 112 and the second positioning structures 123 may be connected in a one-to-one correspondence. It can be understood that when the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are detachably connected, the second positioning structure 123 on the cable management seat 120 may be firstly inserted into the first positioning structure 112 on the first mounting seat 110 to achieve precise alignment of the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110, so as to quickly install the locking assembly 130 and the first mounting seat 110. The number of the first positioning structure 112 and the second positioning structure 123 is set to at least two, so that after the second positioning structure 123 and the first positioning structure 112 are connected together, it can be ensured that the cable management seat 120 cannot rotate relative to the first mounting seat 110, and the connection between the locking assembly 130 and the first mounting seat 110 is further facilitated.

[0035] In the above embodiment, the first positioning structure 112 is a positioning column, and the second positioning structure 123 is a positioning hole. When the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are detachably connected, the positioning column on the first mounting seat 110 can be first inserted into the positioning hole on the locking assembly 130, so that the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are accurately aligned. Specifically, the positioning column can be cylindrical, and the positioning hole can be correspondingly circular, which is not only convenient for processing, but also has high surface accuracy, and can achieve close fit between the two. In addition, this combination can ensure the concentricity of the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 during assembly, so that the axis alignment of the first wire hole 111 and the second wire hole 121 is more accurate, which is particularly suitable for high-density server 200 scenarios. The smooth cylindrical surface cooperates with the circular hole wall to reduce friction resistance and achieve rapid disassembly and assembly. The positioning column can also adopt a hemispherical head design, and the entrance of the positioning hole can be set as a trumpet guide structure. The hemispherical head and the bell mouth form a natural guide, allowing a certain degree of assembly tolerance. Even if the line of sight is obstructed or the operating space is limited, the hole position can be quickly aligned through the guide structure, which improves the convenience of operation. The positioning column can also be designed as a two-stage stepped column. The positioning hole adopts a stepped hole structure. The large diameter of the front section and the small diameter of the rear section form a stepped fit. The axial holding force is generated through interference contact to ensure that the cable management seat 120 is firmly connected to the mounting seat in a complex vibration environment. The problem of easy loosening can be prevented. It is suitable for special fields such as industrial control and rail transportation. In addition, the first positioning structure 112 can also be a positioning hole, and the second positioning structure 123 can be a positioning column. The connection method and shape of the positioning column and the positioning hole can be similar to the above, which will not be repeated here.

[0036] In the above embodiment, the locking assembly 130 may include a locking member 131, the locking member 131 includes a hook 1311, the cable management seat 120 has a mounting hole 124, the first mounting seat 110 has a second slot 113, along the direction from the cable management seat 120 to the first mounting seat 110, the mounting hole 124 and the second slot 113 are opposite to each other, and the hook 1311 is configured to pass through the mounting hole 124 and then hook to the second slot 113. It can be understood that the cable management seat 120 is pre-equipped with a mounting hole 124, and the aperture of the mounting hole 124 is well adapted to the thickness of the hook 1311, which can ensure that the hook 1311 passes smoothly, and there is no excessive gap to cause the connection to be loose. The second slot 113 on the first mounting seat 110 is precisely corresponding to the mounting hole 124 along the direction from the cable management seat 120 to the first mounting seat 110. When fixing the locking assembly 130 on the cable management seat 120, the operator can pass the hook 1311 through the mounting hole 124, and then fix the locking assembly 130 and the cable management seat 120 together. After the hook 1311 passes through the mounting hole 124 on the cable management seat 120, it can be conveniently connected with the second slot 113. Specifically, when the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are detachably connected, the extended hook 1311 can be directly inserted into the second slot 113 to complete the connection between the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110, and the operation is simple and convenient. On the one hand, this design simplifies the assembly steps. The operation can be completed by hand without the aid of complex tools, which greatly improves the assembly efficiency. In particular, it can save a lot of time in scenarios where the cable management seat 120 needs to be frequently maintained or replaced. On the other hand, the hooking structure between the hook 1311 and the second slot 113 is highly stable. During the operation of the equipment, even in the face of a certain degree of vibration or shaking, it can effectively prevent the cable management seat 120 from being displaced or detached from the first mounting seat 110, ensuring that the cables are always in an orderly managed state, thereby safeguarding the stable operation of equipment such as the server 200.

[0037] In the above embodiment, the locking assembly 130 also includes a shell 132, a handle 133, a first return spring 134 and a second return spring 135. The shell 132 is fixedly connected to the cable management seat 120, and the shell 132 has an inner cavity; the first end of the locking member 131 is located in the inner cavity and is elastically connected to the inner wall of the shell 132 through the first return spring 134, the hook 1311 is located at the second end of the locking member 131, and extends out of the inner cavity from the bottom of the shell 132, and the side of the locking member 131 away from the handle 133 has a protrusion 1312, the protrusion 1312 abuts against the side wall of the inner cavity, and the protrusion 1312 is located between the first end and the second end of the locking member 131; the first end of the handle 133 is connected to the inner wall of the inner cavity, and the protrusion 1312 is located between the first end and the second end of the locking member 131; The second end of the handle 133 is elastically connected to the shell 132 through the second return spring 135, and the second end of the handle 133 is located in the inner cavity and abuts against the side of the locking member 131 that is away from the protrusion 1312; when the handle 133 is pulled to compress the second return spring 135, the first end of the locking member 131 compresses the first return spring 134 under the pressure of the handle 133, so that the hook 1311 rotates around the protrusion 1312 for a certain angle and then releases the second slot 113; when the handle 133 is released, the first end of the locking member 131 is configured to rotate around the protrusion 1312 under the elastic force of the first return spring 134, so that the hook 1311 rotates around the protrusion 1312 for a certain angle and then is engaged in the second slot 113.

[0038] When installing the cable management seat 120, the operator can first pull the handle 133 so that the first end of the handle 133 compresses the second return spring 135, so that the second end of the handle 133 squeezes one side of the locking member 131, so that the first end of the locking member 131 rotates in the first direction around the protrusion 1312, thereby compressing the first return spring 134. It can be understood that the first end of the locking member 131, the second end of the locking member 131 and the protrusion 1312 form a lever structure. When the second end of the locking member 131, that is, the card The hook 1311 rotates around the protrusion 1312 in the second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite to the first direction, so that the hook 1311 is in an open state. At this time, the hook 1311 can be inserted into the second slot 113, and then the handle 133 is released. Under the action of the elastic force of the first return spring 134 and the second return spring 135, the hook 1311 rotates in the first direction and returns to the original position and then hooks in the second slot 113, thereby completing the connection between the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110. In this process, the protrusion 1312 on one side of the locking member 131 abuts against the side wall of the inner cavity, playing a key role similar to the fulcrum of a lever.

[0039] Among them, under the elastic force of the second return spring 135, the second end of the handle 133 abuts against the side of the locking member 131 away from the protrusion 1312, maintaining the stability of each component, preventing the hook 1311 from unnecessary shaking or deviation before entering the slot, and ensuring that the hook 1311 is accurately inserted into the slot. Once the hook 1311 is completely inserted into the second slot 113, the entire locking assembly 130 is in a tight and stable state, providing a strong fixing effect for the cable management seat 120. At this time, the cable management seat 120 is tightly connected to the first mounting seat 110. Even if the device is subjected to a certain degree of vibration and shaking during operation, the stable locking of the hook 1311 and the second slot 113 and the supporting role of the shell 132 can ensure that the cable management seat 120 will not be displaced or loosened, ensuring the orderly arrangement of cables, maintaining the regularity of the internal lines of the device, and effectively improving the stability of the device operation.

[0040] When the cable needs to be maintained, the cable management seat 120 needs to be replaced, or other related operations need to be performed, and the cable management seat 120 needs to be disassembled, the operator only needs to hold the handle 133 with one hand and gently pull it outward. As the handle 133 is pulled, the first end of the handle 133 begins to compress the second return spring 135, and the second end of the handle 133 applies pressure to the locking member 131, squeezing the first end of the locking member 131. Since the first end of the locking member 131 is elastically connected to the inner wall of the housing 132 through the first return spring 134, under the action of the double pressure, the first end of the locking member 131 is forced to compress the first return spring 134 and shrink inward.

[0041] The protrusion 1312 acts as a lever fulcrum, allowing the hook 1311 to rotate around the protrusion 1312 at a certain angle. This rotation action causes the hook 1311 that was originally tightly engaged in the second slot 113 to gradually loosen until it is completely out of the slot. At this time, the cable management seat 120 is released from the locked state with the first mounting seat 110, and the operator can easily remove the cable management seat 120 for subsequent operations. The entire disassembly process is simple and quick to operate, without the need for complex tools, and can be completed by one person with one hand, greatly reducing the time cost of equipment maintenance and improving maintenance efficiency. It is especially suitable for scenarios with strict requirements on equipment downtime, such as server 200 maintenance in a data center.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the handle 133 can be slidably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 132, and the second end of the handle 133 has an inclined surface 1331, which abuts against the side of the locking member 131 away from the protrusion 1312, and the side of the locking member 131 opposite to the protrusion 1312 has a depression. The handle 133 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 132, so that the handle 133 can be smoothly displaced in the track defined by the outer wall, and the handle 133 is prevented from shaking left and right during the movement. By arranging the inclined surface 1331 at the second end of the handle 133, when the handle 133 slides in the housing 132, the inclined surface 1331 abuts against the side of the locking member 131 away from the protrusion 1312, and during the operation of installing or removing the cable management seat 120, when the handle 133 is pulled, the inclined surface 1331 can convert the lateral pulling force of the handle 133 into a vertical pressure on the locking member 131. Due to the guiding effect of the inclined surface 1331, the handle 133 only needs a small pulling force to accurately squeeze the locking member 131, causing the locking member 131 to rotate around the protrusion 1312, thereby achieving the action of quickly releasing the hook 1311 or engaging the second slot 113, greatly reducing the difficulty and required force of the operation.

[0043] At the same time, a depression is provided on the side of the locking member 131 opposite to the protrusion 1312, and the depression can cooperate with the inclined surface 1331 of the handle 133. Specifically, when the handle 133 squeezes the locking member 131, the depression provides a suitable accommodation space for the inclined surface 1331 of the handle 133, making the contact between the two closer and more fitting, further improving the efficiency of force transmission. During the installation process, as the cable management seat 120 gradually approaches the first mounting seat 110, the moment the hook 1311 contacts the second slot 113, the handle 133 slides along the depression on the locking member 131 under the elastic force of the second return spring 135, ensuring that the hook 1311 is smoothly and accurately inserted into the slot, avoiding failure of the connection due to shaking or misalignment. During disassembly, by pulling the handle 133, the synergistic effect of the inclined surface 1331 and the depression can also effectively guide the hook 1311 out of the slot. The whole process is completed in one go, which not only ensures the stability of the connection, but also greatly improves the convenience of operation. It provides a strong guarantee for the maintenance and management of the cables inside the device, and is especially suitable for complex electronic equipment scenarios where the cable management seat 120 needs to be frequently operated.

[0044] In the above embodiment, there may be two second wire holes 121, and the locking assembly 130 is arranged between the two second wire holes 121, and the locking assembly 130 is located in the middle section of the extension direction of the cable management seat 120. The locking assembly 130 is located in the middle section between the two second wire holes 121, which can make the force applied to the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 more uniform. After the cable passes through the second wire hole 121 and is fixed, since the locking assembly 130 is in the middle position, it can balance the tension applied by the cables at both ends, effectively avoiding the cable management seat 120 from tilting or deforming due to uneven force, and ensuring that the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 always maintain a tight and stable connection state. This is particularly important for ensuring the orderly arrangement of cables and the normal operation of equipment, especially in some scenarios with extremely high requirements for equipment stability, such as the server 200 cluster in a data center. Such a layout also greatly improves the convenience of operation. When the cable management seat 120 needs to be installed or removed, the operator's hand movements are more natural and comfortable. Because the locking assembly 130 is located in the middle section, no matter pulling the handle 133 to unlock or pushing the cable management seat 120 to install, the hand does not need to be overstretched or twisted, which conforms to the principle of ergonomics and reduces the labor intensity of the operator. In addition, because the locking assembly 130 is located between the two second cable holes 121, its position is relatively obvious and easy to reach, which can effectively reduce the time of finding and operating the locking assembly 130 and improve maintenance efficiency.

[0045] In addition, this layout also plays a positive role in the management and organization of cables. The two second wire holes 121 provide a reasonable threading path for cables of different types or directions, and the locking component 130 is located in the middle position, so that the cable management seat 120 can better restrain the cables after being fixed to prevent the cables from getting tangled or loose. It helps to keep the cables inside the device neat and orderly, and provides convenient conditions for subsequent troubleshooting and maintenance work.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the cable management seat 120 has at least two first threaded holes, and the first threaded holes are distributed on opposite sides of the mounting hole 124, and the bottom of the shell 132 has a second threaded hole matching the first threaded hole, and the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are connected together by a threaded connector. The cable management seat 120 is provided with at least two first threaded holes, and these first threaded holes are distributed on opposite sides of the mounting hole 124, forming a symmetrical layout structure. At the same time, the bottom of the shell 132 of the locking assembly 130 is correspondingly provided with a second threaded hole matching the first threaded hole. The first threaded hole and the second threaded hole are tightly connected together by a threaded connector, such as a screw. This connection method has many advantages. From the perspective of structural stability, the first threaded holes symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the mounting hole 124, in conjunction with the second threaded holes at the bottom of the shell 132, can evenly disperse the connection force between the locking assembly 130 and the cable management seat 120. When the device is subjected to vibration, external pulling, etc. during operation, this symmetrical and tight threaded connection can effectively prevent loosening, displacement or separation between the locking assembly 130 and the cable management seat 120, thereby ensuring the structural stability of the entire cable management device 100.

[0047] In terms of installation and removal operations, the threaded connection method is simple and easy to understand. Operators do not need to use complex tools and professional skills, and can easily complete the installation or removal of the cable management seat 120 and the locking assembly 130 housing 132 by using conventional tools such as screwdrivers. In addition, due to the precise matching of the first threaded hole and the second threaded hole, the alignment during the installation process is more accurate, reducing problems such as loose connection caused by installation errors, and improving installation efficiency.

[0048] In addition, this connection design also facilitates the maintenance and upgrading of the equipment. When the locking assembly 130 needs to be inspected, repaired or replaced, the outer shell 132 can be separated from the cable management seat 120 by simply unscrewing the threaded connector, and the internal components can be operated conveniently and quickly. At the same time, during the equipment upgrade process, if the locking assembly 130 of different specifications or functions needs to be replaced, it can also be achieved by disassembling and installing the threaded connector, which reduces the cost of equipment maintenance and upgrading.

[0049] In addition, the embodiment of the present application further provides a server 200, including a chassis 210, a first mainboard 220, a second mainboard 230, cables, and the cable management device 100 in the above embodiment, wherein the first mainboard 220, the second mainboard 230, and the cable management device 100 are all installed in the chassis 210, and the two ends of the cable are respectively connected to the interface of the first mainboard 220 and the interface of the second mainboard 230, and the cable management device 100 is used to organize the cables. Since the server 200 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the cable management device 100 in the above embodiment, the stability, reliability, and maintenance efficiency of the server 200 can be improved.

[0050] In the above embodiment, a second mounting seat 240 may also be included. The second mounting seat 240 is located at the bottom of the first mounting seat 110. The first mainboard 220 is arranged on the first mounting seat 110, and the second mainboard 230 is arranged on the second mounting seat 240. The first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240 are detachably mounted in the chassis 210. The second mounting seat 240 is located at the bottom of the first mounting seat 110. The two cooperate with each other to provide a stable installation foundation for the first mainboard 220 and the second mainboard 230. The first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240 are both detachably mounted inside the chassis 210. On the one hand, during the assembly process of the server 200, the installer can flexibly adjust the positions of the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240 according to actual needs, thereby optimizing the spatial layout inside the chassis 210, ensuring that the distance between the components is reasonable, and avoiding problems such as poor heat dissipation or cable entanglement caused by cramped space. On the other hand, when the server 200 fails and needs maintenance, the technician can easily remove the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240 from the chassis 210, which facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the mainboard and other related components, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0051] In the above embodiment, a first partition 250 and a second partition 260 may also be included. The first partition 250 is erected on the first mounting seat 110, and a first heat dissipation channel is formed between the first partition 250, the first mounting seat 110 and the side wall of the chassis 210; the second partition 260 is erected on the second mounting seat 240 and is clamped between the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240, and a second heat dissipation channel is formed between the second partition 260, the second mounting seat 240, the side wall of the chassis 210 and the first mounting seat 110, and the first wire hole 111 connects the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel. The first partition 250 is vertically set up on the first mounting seat 110, and cooperates with the first mounting seat 110 and the side wall of the chassis 210 to form a first heat dissipation channel. This channel opens up a dedicated heat dissipation path for the components on the first mounting seat 110, especially the first mainboard 220 that is carried, so that hot air can be discharged smoothly and cold air can be replenished in time to ensure stable operation of the equipment.

[0052] The second partition 260 is also in an upright shape, standing on the second mounting seat 240, and clamped between the first mounting seat 110 and the second mounting seat 240. It, together with the second mounting seat 240, the side wall of the chassis 210 and the first mounting seat 110, constructs a second heat dissipation channel, further optimizing the heat dissipation layout inside the chassis 210. The heat generated in different areas can be efficiently dissipated through the heat dissipation channels adapted to each other, avoiding the negative impact of heat accumulation on the performance of the device. In addition, the first wire hole 111 on the cable management seat 120 connects the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel. While the cables pass through the first wire hole 111 to achieve connection and arrangement, the unobstructed flow of the heat dissipation channel is not hindered, so that the cable layout and the heat dissipation requirements complement each other, which not only ensures the orderly management of the cables, but also maintains a good heat dissipation effect, comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of the server 200, and ensuring that it can work stably and reliably under high load operation.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first partition 250 may be provided with a third wire hole, the second partition 260 may be provided with a fourth wire hole, and the cable may be configured to pass through the fourth wire hole, the first wire hole 111, the second wire hole 121, and the third wire hole in sequence. The third wire hole on the first partition 250 cooperates with the fourth wire hole on the second partition 260 and the first wire hole 111 and the second wire hole 121 on the cable management seat 120. When the cable is connected to the first mainboard 220 and the second mainboard 230, it can pass through the fourth wire hole, the first wire hole 111, the second wire hole 121, and the third wire hole in sequence in a specific order. This orderly cable threading method further improves the regularity of the cable, avoids the cable from being entangled randomly in the chassis 210, and reduces the risk of cable failure. At the same time, the neat cable layout helps to maintain air circulation inside the chassis 210, and does not affect the heat dissipation efficiency of the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel due to the messy accumulation of cables. On the other hand, this design makes the installation and maintenance of the cable more convenient. When it is necessary to check or replace the cables, technicians can clearly find the direction and connection points of the cables and complete the operation quickly, which greatly improves maintenance efficiency and further enhances the stability and reliability of the server 200.

[0054] In the above embodiment, the outer periphery of the third wire hole may have a flexible wire trough connected to the third wire hole, and the cable is configured to be clamped in the flexible wire trough. The flexible wire trough provides additional support and fixing for the cable. During the operation of the server 200, vibrations will inevitably occur, and the flexible wire trough can prevent the cable from shifting and shaking due to vibrations, avoid friction or collision between the cable and surrounding components, reduce the risk of cable damage, and thus ensure the stability of signal transmission. Since the cable is clamped in the wire trough, there will be no messy situation of the cable. When the cable needs to be checked, replaced or adjusted, the technician can easily find the cable and operate it, which reduces the time of finding and arranging the cable during maintenance and improves the maintenance efficiency. In addition, the flexible wire trough has a certain flexibility, can adapt to cables of different diameters and shapes, and has good versatility. At the same time, the flexible wire trough will not cause excessive extrusion to the cable, protecting the integrity of the cable. In summary, the flexible cable trough design around the third cable hole further improves the cable management level of the server 200, enhances the stability and maintenance convenience of the server 200, and makes the entire server 200 system run more reliably and efficiently.

The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
