DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementations consistent with the present application. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0049] First, combining Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present application embodiment provides a tray 100, which is applied to a server 200, and the server 200 includes a chassis 210 and a motherboard 220. The tray 100 in the present application embodiment is arranged in the chassis 210, and the motherboard 220 is arranged on the tray 100. The tray 100 includes a tray body 110, and the tray body 110 is used to install the motherboard 220 of the server 200.

[0050] In some embodiments, the tray body 110 is provided with a connection hole, and the mainboard 220 is provided with a threaded connector. The connection holes and the threaded connectors on the tray body 110 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, so that the mainboard 220 can be installed on the tray body 110 through the cooperation between the connection holes and the threaded connectors. It can be understood that the threaded connector can be connected to the base of the chassis 210 through the connection hole to fix the mainboard 220 and the tray body 110 on the base of the chassis 210.

[0051] In order to strengthen the connection strength of the tray body 110, a convex bump may be provided on the tray body 110, and the convex bump may be provided at any position of the tray body 110, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this. By providing the convex bump, the strength of the tray body 110 is enhanced, the deformation of the tray body 110 during use is reduced, and the structural stability of the server 200 is improved.

[0052] In some embodiments, the connection holes may be disposed on the convex bumps, thereby improving the functional integration of the tray body 110 , reducing the redundant configuration of the connection structure on the tray body 110 , and improving the production efficiency of the tray body 110 .

[0053] In some embodiments, a connection terminal is provided on the side of the mainboard 220 away from the tray body 110, wherein the connection terminal may be a card slot type connection terminal for inserting a memory, a central processing unit (CPU), etc. The memory and the CPU are electrically connected to the mainboard 220 through the connection terminal to complete the data processing work. With the continuous improvement of the data processing capability of the server 200, more and more CPUs and memories are integrated on the mainboard 220. Although this can improve the data processing capability of the server 200, the space occupied by the mainboard 220 increases.

[0054] In the related art, the memory and the CPU are integrated into a data processing device 230, and the data processing device 230 as a whole can be arranged on the side of the mainboard 220 away from the tray body 110. The mainboard 220 is provided with a connector, and the data processing device 230 is electrically connected to the mainboard 220 through the connector to realize the data processing operation of the server 200. In such a server 200, the data processing device 230 can reduce the space occupied by the mainboard 220 due to its high integration, and improve the data processing density of the server 200.

[0055] However, the weight of such a data processing device 230 increases, and the structural size of the data processing device 230 increases, resulting in an increased difficulty in connecting the data processing device 230 and the mainboard 220. In the related art, in order to solve this problem, a spring screw is provided on the data processing device 230, and a mounting hole is provided on the mainboard 220. The mounting holes and the spring screws are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. The data processing device 230 is installed on the mainboard 220 through the spring screws and the mounting holes, so that the data processing device 230 and the mainboard 220 are stably connected. However, after the mainboard 220 receives the data processing device 230, the mainboard 220 is easily deformed due to the weight of the data processing device 230 and the elastic force of the spring screws, resulting in poor performance of the server 200.

[0056] In the related art, the number of connection holes on the mainboard 220 can be increased, and the number of spring screws on the data processing device 230 can be increased accordingly, so that the data processing module and the mainboard 220 are stably connected to reduce the deformation of the mainboard 220. However, the increase in the number of connection holes on the mainboard 220 leads to changes in the wiring layout inside the mainboard 220, and the wiring layout requirements inside the mainboard 220 can only be met by increasing the wiring area of ​​the mainboard 220. It is not difficult to understand that in this way, the structural size of the mainboard 220 is increased, which is not conducive to the miniaturization and lightweight design of the server 200.

[0057] In order to solve the problems in the above-mentioned related art, the tray 100 in the embodiment of the present application further includes a connector 120 and a plurality of crimping members 130. The connector 120 is connected to the tray body 110; at least a portion of the crimping members 130 are connected to the connector 120; and the crimping members 130 are used to be crimped to the side of the mainboard 220 away from the tray body 110. In this way, the connector 120 supports the connection of the crimping members 130, so that the connection between the crimping members 130 and the tray body 110 is stable. Furthermore, the crimping members 130 are crimped to the side of the mainboard 220 away from the tray body 110, so that the crimping force formed on the mainboard 220 by the crimping members 130 can reduce the deformation of the mainboard 220 and improve the performance of the server 200. In this way, on the basis of preventing the deformation of the mainboard 220, the number of connection holes on the mainboard 220 is reduced, and the area utilization rate of the mainboard 220 is increased to meet the wiring layout requirements of the mainboard 220. At the same time, the structural size of the mainboard 220 is reduced, which helps to reduce the space occupied by the server 200. At the same time, the number of connecting components between the mainboard 220 and the data processing device 230 can be reduced, thereby reducing the material cost and weight of the server 200.

[0058] It should be noted that the connector 120 in the embodiment of the present application can be an independent plate, or an independent component formed by connecting multiple layers of metal plates, wherein the crimping member 130 can be arranged on one side of the connector 120 or on both sides of the connector 120 along the extension direction of the tray body 110, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this. Furthermore, the extension direction of the tray body 110 in the embodiment of the present application can be the length direction of the tray body 110 or the width direction of the tray body 110.

[0059] It is easy to understand that the crimping member 130 is connected to the connecting member 120, and the side of the crimping member 130 facing the main body of the main board 220 is crimped to the main board 220, so as to form a crimping force on the main board 220 through the crimping member 130. Among them, the crimping member 130 has various structures. As an optional embodiment, the crimping member 130 includes a connecting section 131 and a crimping section 132, and the crimping section 132 is connected to one end of the connecting section 131 close to the tray body 110; the connecting section 131 is connected to the connecting member 120, and the crimping section 132 is used to be crimped to the main board 220.

[0060] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 7The crimping member 130 includes a connecting section 131 and a crimping section 132. The connecting section 131 extends perpendicular to the extension direction of the tray body 110 and is connected to the connecting member 120, so as to fix and support the installation of the crimping member 130 through the connecting member 120. The crimping member 130 is connected to the side of the connecting section 131 facing the tray body 110, and there is a gap between the crimping section 132 and the side of the tray body 110 facing the crimping member 130 to accommodate the edge of the mainboard 220. The extension direction of the crimping section 132 intersects with the extension direction of the connecting section 131, and the crimping section 132 extends toward the side away from the connecting section 131.

[0061] It should be noted that the extension direction of the crimping section 132 may have an angle with the extension direction of the connecting section 131 or they may be perpendicular to each other. Figure 6 In a specific embodiment, the extension direction of the crimping section 132 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the connecting section 131. In addition, in the embodiment of the present application, the crimping between the crimping section 132 and the mainboard 220 can be one of point contact, line contact and surface contact, or a combination of the three different contact modes, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this.

[0062] In some embodiments, the crimping member 130 includes a first crimping member 133 , which is disposed near a first end of the tray body 110 along an extension direction of the tray body 110 , and is used to connect to the chassis 210 .

[0063] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the connection section 131 of the first crimping piece 133 is connected to the side wall of the chassis 210. Exemplarily, a hand screw 1302 is provided on the connection section 131 of the first crimping piece 133, and a stud is provided on the side wall of the chassis 210. The first crimping piece 133 and the side wall of the chassis 210 are fixedly connected by the hand screw 1302 and the stud. There is a gap between the first crimping piece 133 and the side wall of the chassis 210, forming a wiring space. When the line is arranged between the first crimping piece 133 and the side wall of the chassis 210, the line can be fixed by the connection section 131 of the first crimping piece 133 and the side wall of the chassis 210, so as to save the number of connectors 120 used to fix the line, thereby reducing the cost of the server 200 and the weight of the server 200, which helps to make the server 200 lightweight.

[0064] In some embodiments, a positioning hole 1301 is further provided on the connecting section 131 of the first crimping component 133, and a positioning component is provided on the side wall of the chassis 210. The positioning hole 1301 and the positioning component are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The positioning component and the positioning hole 1301 can be connected by snapping, so as to facilitate the positioning and installation of the connection between the first crimping component 133 and the chassis 210, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the server 200.

[0065] In some optional embodiments, there are multiple positioning holes 1301 on the connecting section 131 of the first crimping component 133, and the multiple positioning holes 1301 are arranged at intervals on the connecting section 131 of the first crimping component 133, and along the extension direction of the connecting section 131, the multiple positioning holes 1301 can be staggered with each other. In this way, through the staggered setting of the multiple positioning holes 1301, a positioning and fool-proofing mechanism for the connection between the first crimping component 133 and the chassis 210 is formed, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the first crimping component 133 and the chassis 210.

[0066] It should be noted that the positioning member in the embodiment of the present application may be an I-shaped nail or the like, and the embodiment of the present application does not make any specific requirements for this.

[0067] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 In some embodiments, there are multiple connectors 120, and the multiple connectors 120 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the tray body 110; the crimping member 130 includes a plurality of second crimping members 134, and the plurality of second crimping members 134 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the tray body 110, and the second crimping members 134 and the connectors 120 are arranged one by one.

[0068] The plurality of connectors 120 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the tray body 110, so that the arrangement of the connectors 120 forms a plurality of different connection positions on the tray body 110 for installing the second crimping member 134. The motherboard 220 can be installed between the opposite connectors 120, and the second crimping member 134 is respectively arranged corresponding to the two opposite connectors 120.

[0069] In the embodiment of the present application, the connecting section 131 of the second crimping member 134 is connected to the connecting member 120. For example, a hand screw 1302 is provided on the connecting section 131 of the second crimping member 134, and a stud is provided on the connecting member 120. The second crimping member 134 and the connecting member 120 are fixedly connected by the hand screw 1302 and the stud. A positioning hole 1301 is also provided on the connecting section 131 of the second crimping member 134, and a positioning member is provided on the connecting member 120. The positioning hole 1301 and the positioning member are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The positioning member and the positioning hole 1301 can be connected in a snap-fitting manner to facilitate the positioning and installation of the second crimping member 134 and the connecting member 120, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the server 200.

[0070] In some optional embodiments, there are multiple positioning holes 1301 on the connecting section 131 of the second crimping piece 134, and the multiple positioning holes 1301 are arranged at intervals on the connecting section 131 of the second crimping piece 134, and along the extension direction of the connecting section 131, the multiple positioning holes 1301 can be staggered with each other. In this way, through the staggered setting of the multiple positioning holes 1301, a positioning and fool-proofing mechanism for the connection between the second crimping piece 134 and the connecting piece 120 is formed, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the second crimping piece 134 and the connecting piece 120, and further improving the production efficiency of the pallet 100.

[0071] It should be noted that the positioning member in the embodiment of the present application may be an I-shaped nail, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this. In addition, the connecting members 120 in the embodiment of the present application are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the tray body 110. The connecting members 120 can be arranged oppositely and at intervals, or adjacent and at intervals, and the embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this.

[0072] Optionally, the connector 120 includes a first connector 121 , which is located in the middle section of the tray body 110 along the extension direction of the tray body 110 ; at least one second crimping member 134 is located in the middle section of the tray body 110 and connected to the first connector 121 .

[0073] For example, see Figure 3 , along the length direction of the tray body 110, the first connecting member 121 is located in the middle of the tray body 110. Of course, in some embodiments, along the length direction of the tray body 110, the first connecting member 121 may also be located in the middle of the tray body 110. This embodiment of the application does not make specific requirements for this.

[0074] When the first connecting member 121 is located in the middle of the tray body 110, along the extension direction of the tray body 110, one of the two opposite sides of the first connecting member 121 is installed with a second crimping member 134, or both sides of the first connecting member 121 are installed with second crimping members 134. The embodiment of the present application does not make specific requirements for this.

[0075] The connection method between the first connector 121 and the second crimping member 134 is the same as the connection method between the connector 120 and the first crimping member 133 in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be described in detail. It should be noted that when the second crimping members 134 are provided on both sides of the first connector 121, the hand screws 1302 on the two second crimping members 134 are mutually staggered along the extension direction of the connecting section 131 of the first connector 121 to prevent the hand screws 1302 of the two second crimping members 134 from interfering with each other when being installed on the studs of the connector 120, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the second crimping member 134 and the first connector 121, and further improving the stability and performance of the server 200.

[0076] In some embodiments, the connector 120 includes a second connector 122 located at the second end of the tray body 110 along the extension direction of the tray body 110 ; at least one second crimping member 134 is located at the second end of the tray body 110 and connected to the second connector 122 .

[0077] The second connecting member 122 can be arranged at the second end of the tray body 110. The second crimping member 134 can be arranged on only one side of the second connecting member 122 along the extension direction of the tray body 110, or on both sides. This embodiment of the application does not require this.

[0078] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 In the specific implementation process, a second crimping piece 134 is provided on the side of the second connecting piece 122 facing the first connecting piece 121, wherein the connection structure and connection method between the second crimping piece 134 and the second connecting piece 122 are the same as the connection method between the connecting piece 120 and the first crimping piece 133 in the aforementioned embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0079] It should be noted that the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122 in the embodiment of the present application have the same structure and function. The embodiment of the present application takes the first connecting member 121 as an example to specifically illustrate the structure of the connecting member 120 in the present application.

[0080] See also Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The first connecting member 121 includes a first portion 123 and a second portion 124, and the second portion 124 is embedded in the first portion 123. Along the extension direction of the tray body 110, a groove is provided on one side of the first portion 123, and the shape of the second portion 124 matches the shape of the groove, and the second portion 124 and the first portion 123 are connected in an embedded manner through the groove.

[0081] Among them, a convex bulge 125 is provided on the side of the first part 123 facing the second part 124, and the structural strength of the first part 123 is improved by the provision of the convex bulge 125, so as to prevent the first connecting member 121 from being deformed during use. Correspondingly, a through groove is provided at the relative position of the second part 124 and the first part 123, and the shapes of the through groove and the convex bulge 125 match each other, so that when the second part 124 and the first part 123 are engaged and connected, the convex bulge 125 is located in the through groove. In this way, the thickness of the connecting member 120 can be reduced, the space occupied by the connecting member 120 can be reduced, the data processing density of the server 200 can be improved, and the performance of the server 200 can be improved.

[0082] In some embodiments, a positioning piece 126 is provided on the side of the first part 123 and the second part 124 facing the tray body 110. Correspondingly, a rivet hole (not shown in the figure) is provided on the tray body 110. The positioning piece 126 and the rivet hole are provided in a one-to-one correspondence. When the first connecting member 121 and the tray body 110 are connected, the positioning piece 126 is inserted into the rivet hole to form a positioning and fixing effect on the connection between the first connecting member 121 and the tray body 110.

[0083] In some embodiments, there are multiple positioning plates 126, and the multiple positioning plates 126 are staggered along the length direction of the first connecting member 121. Correspondingly, the positions of the rivet holes and the positioning plates 126 correspond one to one. In this way, through the staggered setting of the multiple positioning plates 126, a fool-proof setting for connecting the first connecting member 121 and the tray body 110 is formed, thereby improving the installation efficiency and installation accuracy of the first connecting member 121 and the tray body 110, and further improving the manufacturing efficiency of the server 200.

[0084] In some embodiments, the tray body 110 has a plurality of installation areas 111 , and the installation areas 111 are separated by connectors 120 . The plurality of installation areas 111 are used to install a plurality of mainboards 220 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0085] For example, see Figure 1-Figure 5, the installation area 111 is separated and formed by the first connecting member 121 located in the middle section of the tray body 110. The specific position of the first connecting member 121 in the middle section of the tray body 110 is not specifically required in the embodiment of the present application. An installation area 111 can be formed between the first connecting member 121 and the first crimping member 133, and is used to install the mainboard 220. An installation area 111 is formed between the first connecting member 121 and the second connecting member 122, and is used to install the mainboard 220. In this way, through the separation effect of the first connecting member 121, multiple installation areas 111 are formed to install different mainboards 220, thereby improving the data processing density of the server 200, increasing the data processing capacity of the server 200, and improving the performance of the server 200. Furthermore, with the provision of multiple installation areas 111, the tray body 110 can be compatible with mainboards 220 of different specifications, thereby improving the scope of use of the tray 100.
