[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

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

[0029] The cable management device 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application is provided with a first wire passing hole 111 in the first mounting base 110, which can not only preliminarily converge the cables, avoid the cables from being distributed randomly in the chassis 210, but also facilitate the cables to pass through the area at the bottom of the first mounting base 110 into the area above the first mounting base 110. By setting a second wire passing hole 121 corresponding to the position of the first wire passing hole on the cable management base 120, and arranging a first card slot 1222 on the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121, the cables passing through the first wire passing hole can be further guided and converged through the second wire passing hole, and the cables can be sorted and fixed through the first card slot 1222, so that the cable layout is neat and standardized, avoiding problems such as cable entanglement, pulling, and wear, and avoiding the disordered cables from affecting the heat dissipation of the device, improving the stability and reliability of the device. By detachably connecting the cable management base 120 and the first mounting base 110 through the locking component 130, technicians can quickly disassemble and install the cable management base 120, conveniently operate on the cables and the motherboard, and significantly reduce the working difficulty and time cost.

[0030] Specifically, when connecting the cables between two main boards, the operation and maintenance personnel can connect the first end of the cable to the corresponding interface on one of the main boards. Then, hold the second end of the cable with one hand, pass the second end of the cable through the first wire passing hole 111 on the first mounting seat 110 from the bottom, and then pull out the second end of the cable from above the first mounting seat 110 with the other hand. Repeat the above steps until all the cables pass through the first wire passing hole 111. Then, pass the second end of each cable through the second wire passing hole 121 on the cable management seat 120 one by one. After that, the cable management seat 120 can be detachably installed on the first mounting seat 110 through the locking component 130. Then, separate the cables one by one so that the cables are respectively snapped into the corresponding first card slots 1222. Finally, connect the second ends of the cables to the interfaces on the other main board to complete the installation of the cables. During the installation process, when disassembling the cables, the two ends of the cables can be pulled out from the interfaces on the two main boards respectively. Then, remove the locking component 130 from the first mounting seat 110, and directly take out all the cables and the cable management seat 120 from above the first mounting seat 110. It can be seen that both installation and disassembly are extremely convenient. Moreover, during the installation and disassembly process, since each cable is sorted and fixed through the second wire passing hole 121 and the first card slot 1222, the problem of messy cable distribution and mutual entanglement is avoided.

[0031] In the above embodiment, the first mounting seat 110 may have a projection plane perpendicular to the axial direction of the first wire passing hole 111. The orthographic projections of the second wire passing hole 121 and the first card slot 1222 on the projection plane all fall within the orthographic projection range of the first wire passing hole 111 on the projection plane. This design can make the second wire passing hole 121 smaller than the first wire passing hole 111, so that the cables can be further converged through the second wire passing hole 121 after passing through the first wire passing hole 111. And the position of the first card slot 1222 can be in the vertical projection area of the first wire passing hole 111 to ensure that the cables can be smoothly snapped into the first card slot 1222. Among them, the shape of the first card slot 1222 can be designed according to the cross-sectional shape of the cable to facilitate the cable to be more conveniently and tightly snapped into the first installation slot. Specifically, the shape of the first installation slot can be designed into a rectangle, a semi-circle or other shapes. The number of the first card slots 1222 can be the same as the number of the cables, and each cable is snapped into the corresponding first card slot 1222 one by one.

[0032] In the above embodiments, a flexible clamping member 122 may be provided on the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121. The clamping member 122 extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121. A plurality of first clamping grooves 1222 are provided on the clamping member 122, and the plurality of first clamping grooves 1222 are circumferentially spaced along the second wire passing hole 121. It can be understood that by arranging the flexible clamping member 122 on the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121, the clamping member 122 continuously extends circumferentially along the inner wall of the second wire passing hole 121, similar to adding a tightly fitting "soft inner lining" to the wire passing hole. In this way, when the cable passes through the second wire passing hole 121, it can be prevented from being worn and scratched by the edge of the second wire passing hole 121, playing a role in protecting the cable. By providing the first clamping grooves 1222 on the clamping member 122, on the one hand, the inner wall of the first clamping grooves 1222 can have elasticity, enabling the cable to be clamped more tightly and firmly in the first clamping grooves 1222. On the other hand, the flexibility of the first clamping grooves 1222 can further protect the cable. By providing a plurality of first clamping grooves 1222 and evenly spacing these grooves along the circumference of the second wire passing hole 121, a rich selection of clamping options can be provided for cables with different orientations and specifications. The operation and maintenance personnel can accurately snap different specifications and models of cables into the appropriate first clamping grooves 1222 according to the actual situation of the cables, making the cable layout 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. have different thicknesses and uses. Through this design, the cables can be in their respective positions, not only fundamentally eliminating problems such as entanglement, pulling, and wear, but also ensuring that each cable can be firmly fixed, thereby greatly improving the stability and reliability of the device.

[0033] Among them, the clamping member 122 can specifically be selected as a rubber sleeve. The rubber sleeve can be arranged at the second wire passing hole 121 by means of clamping. This arrangement can facilitate the removal of the rubber sleeve from the second wire passing hole 121 for replacement when needed. For example, when the type and variety of the cable change, a rubber sleeve with appropriate first clamping grooves 1222 can be selected for replacement, without the need to replace the entire cable management base 120, improving the flexibility and application range of the cable management device 100 and reducing the maintenance cost.

[0034] In the above embodiments, at least two first positioning structures 112 may be provided on the first mounting seat 110, and at least two second positioning structures 123 corresponding to the positions of the first positioning structures 112 may be provided on the cable management seat 120. The first positioning structures 112 and the second positioning structures 123 are snap-connected in 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 structures 123 on the cable management seat 120 can be first snapped into the first positioning structures 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 component 130 and the first mounting seat 110. The number of the first positioning structures 112 and the second positioning structures 123 is at least two, which can ensure that the cable management seat 120 cannot rotate relative to the first mounting seat 110 after the second positioning structures 123 and the first positioning structures 112 are snapped together, further facilitating the connection between the locking component 130 and the first mounting seat 110.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the first positioning structure 112 is a positioning post, 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 posts on the first mounting seat 110 can be first snapped into the positioning holes on the locking component 130, so that the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 are precisely aligned. Specifically, the positioning post can be selected as a cylindrical shape, and the positioning hole is correspondingly selected as a circular structure, which is not only convenient for processing, but also has high surface accuracy, and can realize the tight fit of the two. Moreover, this combination can ensure the concentricity of the cable management seat 120 and the first mounting seat 110 during assembly, making the alignment of the axes of the first wire passing hole 111 and the second wire passing hole 121 more precise, especially suitable for the scenario of high-density servers 200. The smooth cylindrical surface and the inner wall of the round hole cooperate to reduce the frictional resistance and realize quick disassembly and assembly. The positioning post can also adopt a hemispherical head design, and the entrance of the positioning hole can be set as a flared guiding structure. The hemispherical head and the flared opening form a natural guiding, allowing a certain degree of assembly tolerance. Even if the line of sight is blocked or the operating space is limited, the hole position can be quickly aligned through the guiding structure, improving the operation convenience. The positioning post can also be designed as a two-stage stepped column body, and 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, and an axial holding force is generated through interference contact to ensure the stable connection between the cable management seat 120 and the mounting seat in a complex vibration environment, and the problem of easy loosening can be prevented, which is suitable for special fields such as industrial control and rail transit. In addition, the first positioning structure 112 can also be a positioning hole, and the second positioning structure 123 is a positioning post. The connection method and shape of the positioning post and the positioning hole can be similar to the above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] In the above embodiments, the locking assembly 130 may include a locking member 131. The locking member 131 includes a hook 1311. The wire management base 120 has a mounting hole 124, and the first mounting base 110 has a second card slot 113. Along the direction from the wire management base 120 to the first mounting base 110, the positions of the mounting hole 124 and the second card slot 113 are opposite. The hook 1311 is configured to pass through the mounting hole 124 and then hook to the second card slot 113. It can be understood that the wire management base 120 is pre-provided 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 not only ensure that the hook 1311 passes through smoothly, but also prevent loosening of the connection due to excessive gaps. The position of the second card slot 113 on the first mounting base 110 is accurately corresponding to the mounting hole 124 along the direction from the wire management base 120 to the first mounting base 110. When fixing the locking assembly 130 on the wire management base 120, the operator can pass the hook 1311 through the mounting hole 124, and then fixedly connect the locking assembly 130 and the wire management base 120 together. After the hook 1311 passes through the mounting hole 124 on the wire management base 120, it can be easily engaged with the second card slot 113. Specifically, when the detachable connection between the wire management base 120 and the first mounting base 110 is carried out, the protruding hook 1311 can be directly snapped into the second card slot 113, and the clamping connection between the wire management base 120 and the first mounting base 110 can be completed. The operation is simple and convenient. This design simplifies the assembly steps on the one hand. Without the aid of complex tools, the operation can be completed by hand, greatly improving the assembly efficiency. Especially in the scenario where the wire management base 120 needs to be frequently maintained and replaced, a large amount of time can be saved. On the other hand, the hooking structure between the hook 1311 and the second card slot 113 has high stability. During the operation of the device, even in the face of a certain degree of vibration and shaking, it can effectively prevent the wire management base 120 and the first mounting base 110 from shifting or detaching, ensuring that the cables are always in an orderly management state and escorting the stable operation of devices such as the server 200.

[0037] In the above embodiments, the locking component 130 further includes a housing 132, a handle 133, a first return spring 134, and a second return spring 135. The housing 132 is fixedly connected to the cable management base 120 and 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 housing 132 by 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 housing 132. On the side of the locking member 131 facing away from the handle 133, there is a protrusion 1312, which 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 elastically connected to the housing 132 by the second return spring 135. The second end of the handle 133 is located in the inner cavity and abuts against the side of the locking member 131 facing 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 is compressed by the first return spring 134 under the extrusion of the handle 133, so that the hook 1311 rotates around the protrusion 1312 by a certain angle and then releases the second card 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 by a certain angle and then is clamped in the second card slot 113.

[0038] When installing the cable management base 120, the operator can first pull the handle 133 to compress the second return spring 135 at the first end of the handle 133, so that the second end of the handle 133 extrudes one side of the locking member 131, so that the first end of the locking member 131 rotates around the protrusion 1312 in the first direction, 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 hook 1311, rotates around the protrusion 1312 in the second direction, where 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 card slot 113, and then the handle 133 is released. Under 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 its original position and then hooks in the second card slot 113, thus completing the connection between the cable management base 120 and the first mounting base 110. During 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 stable state of each component, preventing unnecessary shaking or deviation of the hook 1311 before entering the card slot, and ensuring that the hook 1311 accurately enters the slot. Once the hook 1311 is completely engaged in the second card slot 113, the entire locking assembly 130 is in a tight and stable state, providing a strong fixing effect for the cable management base 120. At this time, the cable management base 120 is tightly connected to the first mounting base 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 card slot 113 and the supporting effect of the housing 132 can ensure that the cable management base 120 will not be displaced or loosened, ensuring the orderly arrangement of the cables, maintaining the regularity of the internal lines of the device, and effectively improving the stability of the device operation.

[0040] When it is necessary to maintain the cable, replace the cable management base 120 or perform other related operations and it is necessary to disassemble the cable management base 120, the operator only needs to hold the handle 133 with one hand and gently pull it outwards. 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 dual pressure, the first end of the locking member 131 is forced to compress the first return spring 134 and contract inward.

[0041] And the protrusion 1312 serves as a lever fulcrum, causing the hook 1311 to rotate around it by a certain angle with the protrusion 1312 as the center. This rotation action causes the hook 1311 that was originally tightly engaged in the second card slot 113 to gradually loosen until it completely disengages from the card slot. At this time, the cable management base 120 is released from the locked state with the first mounting base 110, and the operator can easily remove the cable management base 120 for subsequent operations. The entire disassembly process is simple, fast, does not require the use of complex tools, can be completed by a single person with one hand, greatly shortens the time cost of device maintenance, improves the maintenance efficiency, and is especially suitable for scenarios with strict requirements for device downtime, such as the maintenance of servers 200 in data centers, etc.

[0042] In the above embodiments, the handle 133 can be slidably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 132. The second end of the handle 133 has an inclined surface 1331, and the inclined surface 1331 abuts against the side of the locking member 131 away from the protrusion 1312. There is a recess on the side of the locking member 131 opposite to the protrusion 1312. The handle 133 is slidably arranged on the inner wall of the housing 132, enabling the handle 133 to smoothly displace within the track defined by the outer wall and preventing the handle 133 from swaying left and right during movement. By providing the inclined surface 1331 at the second end of the handle 133, when the handle 133 slides within the housing 132, the inclined surface 1331 abuts against the side of the locking member 131 away from the protrusion 1312. During the operation of installing or disassembling the cable management base 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 relatively small pulling force to precisely squeeze the locking member 131, prompting the locking member 131 to rotate around the protrusion 1312, thereby realizing the action of quickly releasing or engaging the hook 1311 with the second card slot 113, greatly reducing the operation difficulty and required force.

[0043] Meanwhile, by providing a recess on the side of the locking member 131 opposite to the protrusion 1312, this recess can cooperate with the inclined surface 1331 of the handle 133. Specifically, when the handle 133 squeezes the locking member 131, the recess provides just the right accommodation space for the inclined surface 1331 of the handle 133, making the contact between the two closer and more fitting, further improving the force transmission efficiency. During the installation process, as the cable management base 120 gradually approaches the first mounting base 110, at the moment when the hook 1311 contacts the second card slot 113, under the elastic force of the second return spring 135, the inclined surface 1331 of the handle 133 slides along the recess on the locking member 131, ensuring that the hook 1311 smoothly and precisely engages with the card slot, avoiding the failure of the engagement caused by swaying or misalignment. When disassembling, pulling the handle 133, the coordinated action of the inclined surface 1331 and the recess can also efficiently guide the hook 1311 to disengage from the card slot. The whole process is completed in one go, not only ensuring the connection stability but also greatly improving the operation convenience, providing strong guarantee for the maintenance and management of the internal cables of the device, especially suitable for complex electronic device scenarios where the cable management base 120 needs to be frequently operated.

[0044] In the above embodiments, there may be two second wire passing holes 121. The locking assembly 130 is arranged between the two second wire passing holes 121, and the locking assembly 130 is located in the middle section of the extending direction of the wire management base 120. The locking assembly 130 being located in the middle section between the two second wire passing holes 121 can make the force more uniform when the wire management base 120 is connected to the first mounting base 110. When the cable passes through the second wire passing hole 121 and is fixed, since the locking assembly 130 is in the middle position, it can balance the pulling forces applied by the cables at both ends, effectively preventing the wire management base 120 from tilting or deforming due to uneven force, and ensuring that the wire management base 120 and the first mounting base 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 the equipment, especially in some scenarios with extremely high requirements for equipment stability, such as the server 200 clusters in data centers. Such a layout also greatly improves the convenience of operation. When installing or disassembling the wire management base 120, the hand movements of the operator are more natural and comfortable. Because the locking assembly 130 is located in the middle section, whether pulling the handle 133 to unlock or pushing the wire management base 120 for installation, the hand does not need to be overly extended or twisted, which conforms to the ergonomic principle and reduces the labor intensity of the operator. Moreover, since the locking assembly 130 is between the two second wire passing holes 121, its position is relatively obvious and easy to reach, which can effectively reduce the time for finding and operating the locking assembly 130 and improve the maintenance efficiency.

[0045] In addition, such a layout also plays a positive role in promoting the management and arrangement of cables. The two second wire passing holes 121 provide reasonable wire passing paths for different types or directions of cables, and the locking assembly 130 being located in the middle position enables the wire management base 120 to better restrain the cables after being fixed, preventing the cables from being entangled with each other or becoming loose. It helps to keep the cables inside the equipment clean and orderly, providing convenient conditions for subsequent fault troubleshooting and maintenance work.

[0046] In the above embodiments, the cable management base 120 has at least two first threaded holes, and the first threaded holes are distributed on opposite sides of the mounting hole 124. The bottom of the housing 132 has second threaded holes that match the first threaded holes, and the first threaded holes and the second threaded holes are connected together by threaded connectors. At least two first threaded holes are provided on the cable management base 120, 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 housing 132 of the locking assembly 130 is correspondingly provided with second threaded holes that match the first threaded holes. Through threaded connectors such as screws, the first threaded holes and the second threaded holes are tightly connected together. This connection method has many advantages. In terms of structural stability, the first threaded holes symmetrically distributed on opposite sides of the mounting hole 124, combined with the second threaded holes at the bottom of the housing 132, can evenly disperse the connection force between the locking assembly 130 and the cable management base 120. When the device is vibrating, being pulled by external forces, 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 base 120, ensuring the structural stability of the entire cable management device 100.

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

[0048] In addition, this connection design also provides convenience for the maintenance and upgrade of the device. When it is necessary to inspect, repair or replace the locking assembly 130, just unscrew the threaded connector, and the housing 132 can be separated from the cable management base 120, facilitating quick operation on the internal components. At the same time, during the device upgrade process, if it is necessary to replace the locking assembly 130 with different specifications or functions, it can also be achieved by disassembling and installing the threaded connector, reducing the costs of device maintenance and upgrade.

[0049] In addition, an embodiment of the present application further provides a server 200, which includes a chassis 210, a first main board 220, a second main board 230, cables, and the cable management device 100 in the above embodiment. The first main board 220, the second main board 230, and the cable management device 100 are all installed in the chassis 210. Two ends of the cables are respectively connected to the interfaces of the first main board 220 and the second main board 230. The cable management device 100 is used for tidying up the cables. Since the server 200 provided by 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 base 240 may further be included. The second mounting base 240 is located at the bottom of the first mounting base 110. The first main board 220 is disposed on the first mounting base 110, and the second main board 230 is disposed on the second mounting base 240. The first mounting base 110 and the second mounting base 240 are detachably mounted in the chassis 210. The second mounting base 240 is located at the bottom of the first mounting base 110, and the two cooperate with each other to provide a stable mounting foundation for the first main board 220 and the second main board 230. Both the first mounting base 110 and the second mounting base 240 are 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 base 110 and the second mounting base 240 according to actual needs, so as to optimize the internal space layout of the chassis 210, ensure reasonable distances between components, and avoid problems such as poor heat dissipation or cable entanglement caused by cramped space. On the other hand, when the server 200 fails and needs to be repaired, the technician can easily remove the first mounting base 110 and the second mounting base 240 from the chassis 210, which is convenient for inspecting and repairing the main board and other related components, and greatly improves the maintenance efficiency.

[0051] In the above embodiment, a first partition 250 and a second partition 260 may further be included. The first partition 250 stands upright on the first mounting base 110. A first heat dissipation channel is formed between the first partition 250, the first mounting base 110, and the side wall of the chassis 210. The second partition 260 stands upright on the second mounting base 240 and is clamped between the first mounting base 110 and the second mounting base 240. A second heat dissipation channel is formed among the second partition 260, the second mounting base 240, the side wall of the chassis 210, and the first mounting base 110. The first wire passing hole 111 communicates the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel. The first partition 250 is vertically erected on the first mounting base 110 and, in cooperation with the first mounting base 110 and the side wall of the chassis 210, the three enclose to form the first heat dissipation channel. This channel opens up an exclusive heat dissipation path for the components on the first mounting base 110, especially the first main board 220 carried thereon, enabling hot air to be discharged smoothly and cold air to be replenished in time, ensuring the stable operation of the device.

[0052] The second partition plate 260 is also in an upright state, standing on the second mounting base 240 and clamped between the first mounting base 110 and the second mounting base 240. It, together with the second mounting base 240, the side wall of the chassis 210, and the first mounting base 110, jointly constructs a second heat dissipation channel, further optimizing the heat dissipation layout inside the chassis 210. The heat generated in different regions can be efficiently dissipated through their respective adapted heat dissipation channels, avoiding the negative impact of heat accumulation on the performance of the equipment. In addition, the first wire passing hole 111 on the wire management seat 120 connects the first heat dissipation channel and the second heat dissipation channel. While the cable passes through the first wire passing hole 111 for connection and arrangement, it does not obstruct the smoothness of the heat dissipation channel, making the cable layout and heat dissipation requirements complement each other, ensuring both the orderly management of the cable and maintaining a good heat dissipation effect, comprehensively improving the comprehensive performance of the server 200, and ensuring its stable and reliable operation under high load.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first partition plate 250 can be provided with a third wire passing hole, and the second partition plate 260 can be provided with a fourth wire passing hole. The cable is configured to pass through the fourth wire passing hole, the first wire passing hole 111, the second wire passing hole 121, and the third wire passing hole in sequence. The third wire passing hole on the first partition plate 250 and the fourth wire passing hole on the second partition plate 260 cooperate with the first wire passing hole 111 and the second wire passing hole 121 on the wire management seat 120. When connecting the first main board 220 and the second main board 230, the cable can pass through the fourth wire passing hole, the first wire passing hole 111, the second wire passing hole 121, and the third wire passing hole in a specific order. This orderly cable passing method further improves the regularity of the cable on the one hand, avoiding the random winding of the cable inside the chassis 210 and reducing the risk of cable failure. At the same time, the neat cable layout helps to maintain the 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 random 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 cable, the technician can clearly find the cable routing and connection points and quickly complete the operation, greatly improving the maintenance efficiency and further enhancing the stability and reliability of the server 200.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the outer periphery of the third wire passing hole may have a flexible wire groove communicating with the third wire passing hole, and the cable is configured to be clamped in the flexible wire groove. The flexible wire groove provides additional support and fixation for the cable. During the operation of the server 200, vibrations will inevitably occur, and the flexible wire groove 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 groove, there will be no messy situation of the cable. When it is necessary to inspect, replace or adjust the cable, technicians can easily find the cable and perform operations, reducing the time for searching and organizing the cable during maintenance and improving the maintenance efficiency. Moreover, the flexible wire groove has a certain flexibility, can adapt to cables of different diameters and shapes, and has good versatility. At the same time, the flexible wire groove will not cause excessive extrusion to the cable, protecting the integrity of the cable. In summary, the design of the flexible wire groove on the outer periphery of the third wire passing hole further improves the cable management level of the server 200, enhances the stability and maintenance convenience of the server 200, and enables the entire server 200 system to operate more reliably and efficiently.
