[0001] This application relates to the field of server equipment technology, and in particular to a booster structure, node device and server. Background Technology

[0002] Servers typically consist of a server chassis and multiple node devices, with the chassis housing these node devices. These node devices require frequent plugging and unplugging during assembly, maintenance, and management. To improve the convenience and operability of the server, a structure was designed to assist in the plugging and unplugging of these node devices.

[0003] In related technologies, these auxiliary structures typically include components such as operating handles or pull rings to help operators move or install node devices from or into the chassis by pulling or pushing. However, when it is necessary to frequently separate or assemble multiple node devices, these simple operating handle or pull ring designs usually cannot provide sufficient assistance, causing operators to need to apply greater force, increasing the difficulty and inconvenience of operation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The handle base is installed on the outer wall of the first body, the assist component is bent, and the handle base is rotatably connected to the bent part of the assist component. The handle body is connected to one end of the assist component and is located on one side of the bent part.

[0007] The handle base provides a pivot point for the power assist assembly and supports the power assist assembly when it enters the power assist position.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0039] A node typically refers to a module containing electronic components such as a motherboard that is inserted into a chassis. Each node is connected to a circuit board inside the chassis via high-density terminals. These high-density terminals are used for numerous plug-and-play connections to ensure stable transmission of data and power. However, as the terminal density increases, the connection between the node and the circuit board becomes increasingly tight. This high-density terminal plug-and-play combination requires significant force when inserting or removing the node. This not only increases the workload for operators when performing plug-and-play operations but also increases inconvenience and the risk of potential misoperation. Therefore, this application provides an assistive structure, node device, and server to reduce the force required for operators during node plug-and-play operations and improve operational convenience.

[0040] Embodiments of this application provide an assist structure for facilitating the separation of a first body and a second body of a server. Figure 1 This is a first-view schematic diagram of the assist structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a second-view schematic diagram of the assistive structure provided in an embodiment of this application. A detailed description is given below, in conjunction with the structure and working principle of this assistive structure. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, this power-assist structure includes a handle base 11, a power-assist component 12, and a handle body 13. Specifically, the handle base 11 is mounted on the outer wall of the first body and its robustness and reliability are ensured through a stable connection. The power-assist component 12 is bent, and the handle base 11 is rotatably connected to the bent portion of the power-assist component 12, allowing the power-assist component 12 to rotate around the bent portion. Therefore, the handle base 11 provides a fulcrum for the rotation of the power-assist component 12, ensuring its stable operation and reducing potential loosening or instability issues. The bent design not only optimizes the mechanical structure but also makes the power-assist component 12 easier to adjust during operation. By rotating the bent portion, the power-assist component 12 can enter and exit the power-assist position as needed, increasing operational flexibility. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the assist structure in the assist position provided in this application embodiment. The assist component 12 enters the assist position (i.e., ...) by rotating along the bend and contacting the end face of the handle base 11. Figure 2 (As shown in the diagram). At this time, the handle base 11 can be used to support the assist component 12.

[0041] The handle body 13 is connected to one end of the assist component 12 and is located on one side of the bend. This ensures that the handle body 13 can directly drive the rotation of the assist component 12 during operation. That is, the handle body 13 is used to drive the assist component 12 to rotate along the bend by rotation. Furthermore, after the assist component 12 is in the assist position, it assists in separating the first body and the second body by rotation. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the multiple states of the assist structure provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 4As shown, the dynamic form of the assist structure during operation will now be explained. First, the operator simply rotates the handle body 13 to engage the assist component 12. Then, by rotating the handle body 13, the operator can utilize the support and assistance provided by the assist component 12 to separate the first and second bodies. This effectively reduces the physical force required by the operator during separation, thereby improving operational efficiency and comfort. Overall, the bent assist component 12 and robust connection not only enhance the stability and convenience of the separation operation but also effectively reduce the operator's workload. The cooperation of the handle base 11, assist component 12, and handle body 13 ensures that the entire assist structure remains efficient and stable during prolonged use, guaranteeing long-term reliable operation even with frequent use.

[0042] In the above embodiment, the handle body 13 rotates, causing the assist component 12 to rotate along the bend. Through the lever principle, a small rotational force is converted into a large pushing force, achieving the separation of the first and second bodies. This not only improves the convenience of operation but also allows the operator to complete tasks more easily, reducing workload. The assist structure achieves the goal of assisting and saving effort. Furthermore, the lever effect optimizes the transmission and distribution of force, making operation more efficient and stable.

[0043] In one embodiment, the handle body 13 is provided with a label slot 1312, and the label slot 1312 is located at the front end of the first body. The label slot 1312 is designed to provide a convenient location for placing identification labels. These labels are used to identify the first body, allowing operators to quickly identify different nodes or devices, thereby improving management and maintenance efficiency. The groove design facilitates quick insertion and removal of labels. Specifically, the label slot 1312 is located at the front end of the handle body 13 because the handle body 13 is typically located outside the device or equipment. When performing operations such as plugging / unplugging, maintenance, and inspection, operators can intuitively read the label content and quickly understand the relevant information of the device, thereby improving work efficiency and reducing errors caused by insufficient or confused information. This not only optimizes the convenience of equipment management but also improves the accuracy of server maintenance and the work efficiency of operators. Furthermore, placing the label slot 1312 outside the server optimizes the use of internal server space. This allows the server interior to better meet the needs of high-density component placement and avoids wasting internal space. Furthermore, the label slot 1312 is sized to fit common label sizes and can accommodate information labels used for identification, such as equipment numbers, maintenance records, or other identification information. For example, the label slot 1312 is typically rectangular or elongated in shape, and its sides are usually provided with edges or baffles to prevent labels from slipping out of the slot during vibration or operation.

[0044] In one embodiment, the handle base 11 includes a connecting segment 111 and a support segment 112 connected in sequence. The connecting segment 111 and the support segment 112 have different functions and structures to support and fix the entire power assist assembly 12. Specifically, the connecting segment 111 is connected to the outer wall of the first body and has a large connection area with the first body, so that the entire handle base 11 can withstand a certain operating force during use without loosening or instability. The connecting segment 111 is connected using a high-strength fixing device, such as bolts or welding. Through this connection method, the entire handle base 11 forms a robust support platform, providing stability for the normal operation of the power assist assembly 12 and effectively transmitting the force applied during operation. The end of the support segment 112 is provided with two connecting blocks 113 extending away from the connecting segment 111. The two connecting blocks 113 and the end face of the support segment 112 connected to them form a U-shaped structure. The two connecting blocks 113 are rotatably connected to the two ends of the bend. The U-shaped structure has good resistance to bending and deformation when subjected to lateral forces, and can effectively withstand the pressure and reaction force applied during operation, providing a more stable support foundation for the assist component 12.

[0045] In actual operation, the connecting block 113 provides a rotation fulcrum for the assist component 12 and, through the support section 112, supports the assist component 12 when it enters the assist position. The support section 112 and the connecting block 113 ensure that the assist component 12 receives sufficient support when entering the assist position, avoiding structural instability or displacement. The placement of the upper and lower connecting blocks 113 also ensures the smoothness and stability of the assist component 12 during operation, reducing potential jamming or uneven rotation. In summary, the structure of the entire handle base 11 not only enhances overall stability but also provides excellent mechanical support. This ensures the efficiency and durability of the entire assist structure during long-term use, making the insertion and removal of nodes smoother, allowing operators to complete separation tasks with less force, and reducing operational intensity.

[0046] Furthermore, in one specific embodiment, the support segment 112 is provided with a support surface 1121. The support surface 1121 is located on the end face away from the first main body and is inclined towards the connecting block 113 to ensure that when the assist component 12 rotates and enters the assist position, it can smoothly contact the support surface 1121, thereby providing sufficient support force. The inclined setting of the support surface 1121 can effectively disperse the pressure applied to the support surface 1121 by the assist component 12 during rotation, avoiding excessive wear or uneven force in local areas, thereby improving the stability and durability of the overall system. Through this inclination angle, the support surface 1121 can provide appropriate support according to the rotation trajectory of the assist component 12. During the process of entering the assist position, the support surface 1121 not only plays a supporting role, but also stabilizes the position of the assist component 12, preventing it from shaking or uneven mechanical action during rotation, ensuring smooth and stable operation. In actual operation, when the assist component 12 enters the assist position by rotation, the support surface 1121 will contact the assist component 12, ensuring that the assist component 12 is firmly in the appropriate position. Furthermore, the combination of the support surface 1121 and the inclined design makes the entire resistance structure more compact, providing more efficient support within a limited space. This ensures that operators can convert a small rotational force into a large pushing force when inserting or removing nodes, improving the convenience and comfort of operation while achieving the separation and placement of the first and second main bodies. Overall, the support surface 1121 enhances the overall stability and durability of the assist structure, optimizing structural mechanical properties and improving reliability during long-term, high-frequency operation.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the handle body 13 includes an operating member 131 with a pull ring hole 1311; the operating member 131 is located at the front end of the first body to facilitate operation by the operator during equipment use or maintenance. The pull ring hole 1311 is a rectangle with rounded corners and is located near one end of the long axis of the operating member 131. This allows the operator to easily grip and rotate the device from this position, while reducing accidental activation. The shape and position of the pull ring hole 1311 take into account the comfort and convenience of operation, reducing fatigue during operation. In addition, the structure of the pull ring hole 1311 can also effectively reduce label damage or jamming caused by external forces. The other end of the long axis of the operating member 131 is provided with a vertically outward extending connector 132, and the side end of the connector 132 is provided with a cavity extending inward thereto. The assist component 12 includes an assist section 121, the end of which extends inward into the cavity to form an extension arm 122, and the extension arm 122 is connected to the connector 132. As can be seen, the connection between the extension arm 122 and the connector 132 provides a bridge between the assist section 121 and the operating component 131. The connector 132 ensures a stable connection with the assist assembly 12, enabling smooth rotational connection between the operating component 131 and the assist assembly 12. The cavity further enhances the fit between the connector 132 and the assist section 121, allowing the connector 132 to be firmly connected to the extension arm 122 of the assist section 121, reducing loosening or deviation during operation. This allows the rotation of the operating component 131 to effectively drive the rotation of the assist section 121. The assist section 121 and the extension arm 122 are perpendicularly bent, with the sidewall of the assist section 121 in contact with the support surface 1121, and the sidewall of the assist section 121 located on the convex side of the assist assembly 12. This ensures that the assist assembly 12 can stably fit with the support surface 1121 during operation, providing necessary support force and reducing instability caused by improper operation. The other end of the assist section 121 is rounded, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also effectively matches the support surface 1121 and reduces wear caused by friction. Both the handle body 13 and the assist component 12 are integrally molded zinc alloy. The choice of zinc alloy material enhances the strength and durability of the components while reducing the overall weight of the assembly, making operation easier. Zinc alloy has good corrosion resistance, allowing for prolonged use in various environments without oxidation or corrosion, ensuring stable performance even during high-frequency operation.

[0048] In actual operation, the operator can control the operating component 131 to rotate around the bend via the pull ring hole 1311, and drive the extension arm 122 and the assist section 121 to rotate along the bend via the connector 132. During this process, the side wall of the assist section 121 contacts the support surface 1121, ensuring that the assist component 12 is firmly inserted into the assist position and provides support force. After the assist component 12 is in the assist position, the operator can easily complete the separation operation of the first and second main bodies by rotating the handle body 13 with the support of the assist component 12. When rotating the assist component 12, the force transmitted through the mechanical support reduces the operator's burden, making the separation process not only efficient but also more stable. Furthermore, after the assist component 12 is in the assist position, the operator can push the first and second main bodies to insert. Overall, the cooperation of the handle body 13, the assist component 12, and the connector 132 improves the insertion and removal efficiency of the server node device and reduces the occurrence of human error during operation.

[0049] In one embodiment, a rotating shaft 14 is also included. The rotating shaft 14 passes through the bend in the assist component 12, acting as a bearing support, allowing the assist component 12 to rotate around the rotating shaft 14. This ensures that the assist component 12 maintains a stable rotation path, preventing deviation or jamming, thereby improving operational smoothness and reliability. The two ends of the rotating shaft 14 are connected to two connecting blocks 113 respectively, and the handle base 11 is rotatably connected to the assist component 12 via the rotating shaft 14. The rotation of the rotating shaft 14 along its central axis drives the assist component 12 to rotate along the bend, thereby achieving the separation operation of the first and second main bodies. Specifically, the rotating shaft 14 passes sequentially from the outside in through the connecting block 113, the damping pad, the bend, another damping pad, and another connecting block 113. The damping pads at both ends of the rotating shaft 14 are mainly used to reduce friction and vibration during rotation, ensuring smooth rotation of the assist component 12 and minimizing interference from external forces. The damping pad is made of highly elastic material, and its excellent shock absorption effect can effectively reduce the impact force generated during rotation, extending the service life of the pivot 14 and other components. Overall, the pivot 14 not only enables a smooth connection between the handle base 11 and the power assist assembly 12, but also provides the necessary support force and stability during rotation, ensuring that the entire power assist structure operates efficiently and smoothly during operation.

[0050] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the retractable hinge 14 provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5As shown, in one specific embodiment, the rotating shaft 14 is a telescopic rotating shaft 14, specifically including a main rotating shaft component 141, a spring 142, and a secondary rotating shaft component 142. The main rotating shaft component 141 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the secondary rotating shaft component 142. The sliding connection between the main rotating shaft component 141 and the secondary rotating shaft component 142 allows the secondary rotating shaft component 142 to achieve a certain telescopic movement relative to the main rotating shaft component 141 during operation. This allows the rotating shaft 14 to freely extend and retract as needed during operation. There is a certain gap between the outer side of the main rotating shaft component 141 and the inner side of the secondary rotating shaft component 142 to ensure smooth sliding during movement without jamming or uneven friction. The spring 142 is disposed inside the main rotating shaft component 141, with one end connected to the inner bottom surface of the main rotating shaft component 141 and the other end connected to one end of the secondary rotating shaft component 142, and the spring 142 is in a compressed state. The function of spring 142 is to provide elastic support for shaft 14. When the main shaft component 141 and the secondary shaft component 142 move relative to each other, spring 142 can effectively absorb part of the operating force and provide a restoring force when shaft 14 extends or retracts. This ensures that shaft 14 has sufficient resilience during operation, ensuring the flexibility and durability of shaft 14. The end of secondary shaft component 142 away from spring 142 is hemispherical. Each connecting block 113 has a through hole. One end of the main shaft component 141 is inserted into the through hole of one connecting block 113, and the hemispherical end of secondary shaft component 142 is inserted into the through hole of the other connecting block 113. The hemispherical end not only facilitates the fit between secondary shaft component 142 and connecting block 113, but also reduces friction during operation, ensuring smooth rotation. The through holes ensure a stable connection between the main shaft 141 and the secondary shaft 142 and the connecting block 113, enabling the shaft 14 to maintain stable rotation and extension during operation, reducing operational disruptions caused by structural loosening or unstable connections.

[0051] The power assist component 12 is detachably connected to the handle base 11 via a retractable pivot 14. In actual operation, when installing the retractable pivot 14, the operator first presses the pivot sub-component 142. Upon pressing, the pivot sub-component 142 slides inward and enters the interior of the pivot main component 141. At this time, one end of the pivot main component 141 is inserted into the through hole of the first connecting block 113, ensuring a stable connection between the pivot main component 141 and the connecting block 113. The operator continues to press the pivot sub-component 142, bringing it closer to the axis of the two connecting blocks 113. When the pivot sub-component 142 contacts the second connecting block 113, the operator releases the pressure. At this time, the side wall of the second connecting block 113 continues to apply pressure to the pivot sub-component 142, which remains in the retracted state. Then, the operator pushes the retractable pivot 14, bringing one end of the pivot sub-component 142 closer to the through hole of the second connecting block 113. When the shaft assembly is directly below the through hole, the shaft assembly 142 is released. At this time, the shaft assembly 142 is ejected by the action of the spring 142 and enters the through hole of the second connecting block 113, realizing the extension and retraction operation of the shaft assembly 142. The installation of the retractable shaft 14 is completed.

[0052] It should be further noted that the handle base 11 is also made of one-piece molded zinc alloy. Zinc alloy has high mechanical strength and hardness, and can withstand the force applied during long-term use and the stress of repeated operation.

[0053] On the other hand, embodiments of this application also provide a node device. Figure 6 A schematic diagram from a first perspective of the node device provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 7 This is a partially enlarged schematic diagram from a first perspective of the node device provided in an embodiment of this application. Based on the above embodiments, as... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the node device includes a node housing and a support structure. The node housing is used for detachable insertion into the server chassis.

[0054] In this embodiment, the node housing is used to support and secure various internal components. The node housing is detachably inserted into the chassis for easy disassembly and installation during server assembly, maintenance, and upgrades. Through its cooperation with the chassis, the node housing allows the node device to be embedded within the chassis, ensuring stable operation during server operation.

[0055] Corresponding to the above embodiment, the node housing is the first main body, and the server chassis is the second main body. The server chassis is responsible for housing multiple node devices and providing them with basic support such as power supply, data transmission, and cooling to ensure the stable operation of the node devices. The node housing interfaces with the internal components and connection interfaces of the server chassis via a plug-in method, enabling effective cooperation and collaborative work among the various internal components. The auxiliary structure makes the separation and assembly of the node housing and the server chassis very simple. Operators can easily insert the node housing into the chassis for quick installation and disassembly without complex tools. Overall, the node device, through its modular design, pluggable structure, and stable connection method, improves the convenience of server management and maintenance, and enhances overall flexibility and scalability.

[0056] In one embodiment, the node device further includes at least one handle hook 15. Multiple spacers are provided inside the node housing to rationally divide the internal space, ensuring appropriate distances between components and providing support and fixation. The hook end of the handle hook 15 is detachably connected to the handle body 13, and its other end is mounted on the spacer. The spacers provide fixed support for the handle hook 15, ensuring its stability during operation and effectively preventing instability. In this way, the hook firmly secures the handle body 13 and ensures it does not accidentally loosen when not in use. In this embodiment, the handle hook 15 allows the operator to more easily fix and unlock the handle body 13. The handle hook 15 achieves limiting and fixing of the handle body 13 through connection with it, and unlocks and releases it by separating from it. This connection method ensures the handle body 13 remains stable when not in use, preventing accidental loosening or displacement during transportation or vibration. Furthermore, the handle hook 15 is thin-plate shaped, with its sidewalls fitting snugly against the sidewalls of the partition plate. This ensures secure fixation of the handle body 13 while minimizing the space occupied within the node device. Additionally, the bottom surface of the handle hook 15 that contacts the node housing has a groove that fits snugly against the inner sidewall of the node housing. This makes the contact between the handle hook 15 and the node housing more robust, increasing the stability of the handle hook 15 installation.

[0057] In one specific embodiment, the handle body 13 is provided with a hook hole, which is located at the front end of the node housing. The location of the hook hole allows the operator to easily access it during operation, especially during maintenance or management, facilitating quick identification and operation. The hook end of the handle latch 15 is barbed and detachably connected to the hook hole. This barbed shape provides stronger connection stability, ensuring that the handle body 13 will not accidentally detach during operation. The handle latch 15 can easily connect to the handle body 13 and fix the handle body 13 to the front end of the node housing.

[0058] Figure 8 A partially enlarged schematic diagram from a third-view perspective of the node device provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 9 for Figure 8 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of B in the diagram. Based on the above embodiments, as follows... Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the top of the handle body 13 is provided with a sliding surface 1313 inclined towards the handle hook 15. The sliding surface 1313 is located within the area enclosed by the edge of the hook hole and the edge of the handle body 13, and is positioned close to the handle hook 15. The inclined angle of the sliding surface 1313 allows the handle hook 15 to engage more smoothly with the hook hole. When the operator brings the handle hook 15 close to the hook hole, the inclined angle of the sliding surface 1313 guides the hook end to engage smoothly with the hook hole, avoiding jamming or operational difficulties caused by misalignment, thereby improving the convenience and stability of the entire operation process and reducing potential resistance or inconsistencies during operation. Furthermore, the sidewall of the handle hook 15 that contacts the sliding surface 1313 is a smooth inclined surface, which makes the contact between the handle hook 15 and the sliding surface 1313 smoother, reduces friction, optimizes the smoothness of operation, and ensures a good fit between the handle hook 15 and the sliding surface 1313.

[0059] Figure 10 A partially enlarged schematic diagram from a second perspective of the node device provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 11 for Figure 10 A partially enlarged schematic diagram of A in the diagram. Based on the above embodiments, as follows... Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the bottom of the handle body 13 has a recessed engaging surface 1314 that extends upwards. The engaging surface 1314 is positioned along the edge of the hook hole and contacts the inner arc surface of the hook end. The engaging surface 1314 ensures a tight contact when the handle body 13 is connected to the handle hook 15. The contact between the engaging surface 1314 and the inner arc surface of the hook end ensures a firm and reliable connection. This engagement not only increases the stability of the connection but also effectively prevents loosening due to vibration or external forces. In short, the thickness formed between the engaging surface 1314 and the top surface of the handle body 13 is less than the thickness formed between the non-engaging surface 1314 and the top surface of the handle body 13, allowing the handle hook 15 to be engaged with the handle body 13 more quickly and securely.

[0060] In actual operation, the handle body 13 is pushed towards the node housing. At this time, the sliding surface 1313 contacts the handle hook 15. Continuing to push, the sliding surface 1313 guides the handle hook 15 to connect with the hook hole. At this point, the handle hook 15 contacts the locking surface 1314, thus limiting and fixing the handle body 13. When it is necessary to unlock the handle body 13, continue pushing the handle body 13 towards the inside of the node housing until it disengages from the handle hook 15. Then, push the handle body 13 downwards, so that the handle body and handle hook 15 are no longer on the same plane. Release the handle body 13, thus unlocking it. In summary, the handle hook 15 not only ensures the safety of the resistance component during use but also provides a convenient operating experience, improving the maintainability and flexibility of the node device. In an alternative embodiment, the hook hole and the pull ring hole 1311 are combined into one, that is, a sliding surface 1313 and a snap-fit ​​surface 1314 are provided at the edge of the pull ring hole 1311 to realize the function of the hook hole.

[0061] This application embodiment also provides a server, including a chassis and node devices. One end of the chassis has an opening, allowing the node devices to be easily inserted or removed, facilitating installation, maintenance, and upgrades. The other end of the server chassis has a first terminal, typically used for connecting power or data transmission lines. The node devices typically carry hardware performing computing, storage, or other specific tasks. The node devices also include a second terminal, located at one end of the node housing, corresponding to the first terminal inside the chassis. The node devices can be connected and disconnected from the power and data interfaces inside the chassis via plug-and-play connections. An assist structure is located near the other end of the node housing. The assist structure ensures easier insertion and removal of the node devices, reducing the force required by the operator. The assist structure typically provides additional support through leverage, allowing the node devices to be removed from the chassis more smoothly, especially in situations requiring frequent plug-and-play operations. The assist structure not only improves operational efficiency but also ensures that hardware is less likely to be damaged during insertion and removal. The node devices are inserted into the chassis through the opening, and the first and second terminals are detachably connected via the assist structure. This not only provides a convenient way to install and remove node devices, but also optimizes the user experience through structural improvements, making node insertion and removal easier and more efficient. Through modular design, the server can operate efficiently during installation, maintenance, and upgrades, ensuring long-term stability and maintainability of the equipment.
