Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a fan assembly and a server. Background Art

[0002] In server hardware design, the fan module is one of the key components to ensure system heat dissipation and stable operation. As server performance continues to improve, its power consumption and heat generation have also increased significantly, and the role of the fan module has become increasingly important.

[0003] Due to different heat dissipation requirements under different configurations, the single fan module and the dual fan module need to be installed in specific positions. Then, since the installation structures of the single fan module and the dual fan module are the same, during the installation and maintenance of the server, the positions of the single fan module and the dual fan module are easily installed incorrectly. For example, if the dual fan module is assembled to the installation position of the single fan module, it will cause the wrong airflow direction or insufficient heat dissipation, which will cause server overheating, performance degradation, or even hardware failure. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application provides a fan assembly and a server to at least solve the problem in the related art that different fan modules are easily installed in the wrong position.

[0005] The present application provides a fan assembly, comprising:

[0006] An installation frame, wherein a first cavity and a second cavity are formed inside, wherein at least two first installation holes are provided on the bottom wall of the first cavity, and at least two second installation holes are provided on the bottom wall of the second cavity;

[0007] A first fan module is correspondingly arranged in the first chamber, and a first connector plug is provided on the first fan module;

[0008] A second fan module is correspondingly arranged in the second chamber, and the second fan module is provided with a second connector plug, and the number of the second connector plugs is equal to the number of the corresponding second mounting holes;

[0009] An anti-foolproof baffle is fixed on the mounting frame and is used to block at least one of the first mounting holes on the bottom wall of the first chamber. The number of the first mounting holes that are not blocked is equal to the number of the first connector plugs. The first connector plugs can pass through the first mounting holes accordingly, and the number of the first mounting holes that are not blocked is less than the number of the second connector plugs to prevent the second fan module from being installed in the first chamber.

[0010] Since the number of unobstructed first mounting holes corresponding to the first chamber is equal to the number of first connector plugs and is less than the number of second connector plugs, when installing the first fan module and the second fan module, the first fan module can only be installed in the first chamber accordingly, and the second fan module can only be installed in the second chamber accordingly. When the second fan module is installed in the first chamber, the second connector plug and the anti-foolproof baffle will interfere with each other, resulting in the second connector plug on the second fan module being unable to pass through the mounting frame completely. In other words, the second fan module cannot be installed in place in the first chamber, thereby avoiding the situation where the second fan module is mistakenly installed in the first chamber, ensuring the accuracy of the airflow direction of the fan assembly, and having a good heat dissipation effect, thereby being able to dissipate heat for servers and other equipment and improve the performance of servers and other equipment.

[0011] In some embodiments, the anti-foolproof shield includes a fixing portion and a shielding portion formed on one side of the fixing portion, the fixing portion is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the mounting frame, and the shielding portion overlaps at least a portion of the area of ​​the first mounting hole.

[0012] The fixing part is fixedly connected to the mounting frame, and the shielding part at least partially overlaps with the first mounting hole, which can shield the first mounting hole. After being blocked, the first mounting hole cannot be plugged and matched with the first connector plug and the second connector plug, thereby avoiding the situation where the first fan module and the second fan module are misplaced.

[0013] In some embodiments, a first connecting hole is provided on the fixing portion, and a second connecting hole is provided on the bottom wall of the mounting frame. The fastener mounts the fixing portion to the bottom wall of the mounting frame by cooperating with the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole.

[0014] The first mounting hole and the second mounting hole cooperate with the fastener to realize the installation of the anti-foolproof baffle, which is convenient for installation and removal of the anti-foolproof baffle, and the position of the anti-foolproof baffle can be flexibly adjusted, so that the fan assembly has the possibility of different structural combinations.

[0015] In some embodiments, the foolproof baffle is disposed on an inner side surface or an outer side surface of a bottom wall of the mounting frame.

[0016] When the anti-foolproof baffle is installed on the inner side surface of the bottom wall of the mounting frame, the anti-foolproof baffle is hidden inside the mounting frame and will not affect the appearance of the fan assembly; when the anti-foolproof baffle is installed on the outer side surface of the bottom wall of the mounting frame, it is easier to operate when installing the anti-foolproof baffle.

[0017] In some embodiments, the fixing portion is provided with a positioning column, and the bottom wall of the mounting frame is provided with a positioning groove that cooperates with the positioning column. The cooperation between the positioning column and the positioning groove can realize the pre-positioning of the anti-foolproof baffle, which is convenient for the installation of the anti-foolproof baffle.

[0018] In some embodiments, the distance between the positioning column and the first connection hole is L, and the distance between the positioning slot and the second connection hole is M, where M = L. This ensures that the positioning column and the positioning slot are matched, and the first connection hole and the second connection hole can be directly opposite to each other, which is convenient for fixing the foolproof baffle.

[0019] In some embodiments, two first mounting holes are provided on the bottom wall of the first chamber, wherein one of the first mounting holes is blocked by the anti-foolproof block sheet, the number of the first connector plug is one, and the first connector plug passes through the first mounting hole that is not blocked; two second mounting holes are provided on the bottom wall of the second chamber, the number of the second connector plugs is two, and the two second connector plugs pass through the two second mounting holes correspondingly.

[0020] There is only one first connector plug on the first fan module, which can just pass through the unobstructed first mounting hole, that is, the first fan module can just be installed in the first chamber, and there are two second connector plugs on the second fan module, which can just pass through the two second mounting holes, that is, the second fan module can just be installed in the second chamber; but if the second fan module wants to be installed in the first chamber, the number of second connector plugs is one more than the number of first mounting holes, and one of the first connector plugs will interfere with the anti-foolproof baffle at the obstructed first mounting hole, resulting in the second fan module being unable to be installed in the first chamber, thereby avoiding the problem of incorrect installation positions of the first fan module and the second fan module.

[0021] In some embodiments, a partition plate is provided in the mounting frame, and the partition plate divides the internal space of the mounting frame into the first chamber and the second chamber; the first fan module includes a first frame and a first fan provided in the first frame, the number of the first fans is equal to the number of the first connector plugs, and they are connected one-to-one through wires; the second fan module includes a second frame and a second fan provided in the second frame, the number of the second fans is equal to the number of the second connector plugs, and they are connected one-to-one through wires; a clip is provided on the first frame and / or the second frame, and a clip groove is correspondingly provided on the partition plate, and after the first fan module and / or the second fan module are installed in place, the clip is correspondingly clipped with the clip groove.

[0022] When the first fan module is installed in the first chamber, the first connector plug passes through the first mounting hole accordingly. When the first connector plug is installed in place, the clip on the first frame can be snapped into the clip groove. At this time, a clicking sound is emitted, reminding the operator that the installation is in place; similarly, when the second fan module is installed in the second chamber, the second connector plug passes through the second mounting hole accordingly. When the second connector plug is installed in place, the clip on the second frame can be snapped into the corresponding clip groove. At this time, a clicking sound is emitted, reminding the operator that the installation is in place; but when the second fan module wants to be installed in the first chamber, the second connector plug will interfere with the anti-foolproof baffle, and then the clip cannot cooperate with the clip groove normally, and there will be no clicking sound. The operator can intuitively feel whether the installation position of the first fan module and the second fan module is accurate and whether they are installed in place.

[0023] In some embodiments, the clamping member includes an operating portion and a clamping portion, the operating portion is connected to the clamping portion, and the operating portion can drive the clamping portion to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to an external force.

[0024] When installing the first fan module and the second fan module, it is necessary to manually press the operating part to make the clamping part elastically deform. After the first fan module and the second fan module are installed in place, the operating part is released, and the clamping part automatically resets under the action of elastic force to achieve clamping fit with the clamping groove. The purpose of this arrangement is, on the one hand, not to affect the normal installation of the first fan module and the second fan module, and on the other hand, to facilitate the clamping fit of the clamping part and the clamping groove after the first fan module and the second fan module are installed in place, and also improve the stability of the installation structure of the first fan module and the second fan module.

[0025] The present application also provides a server, including any of the above-mentioned fan components, which can be used to dissipate heat and cool components in the server to avoid excessive internal temperature of the server, thereby affecting the performance of the server.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0044] An embodiment of the present application provides a fan assembly, which avoids positional installation errors between different fan modules by setting an anti-mistake structure, ensures that each fan module can be correctly installed in its respective installation position, and avoids the problems of incorrect airflow direction and insufficient heat dissipation.

[0045] Specifically, Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the fan assembly provided in the embodiment of the present application includes:

[0046] An installation frame 1, wherein a first chamber and a second chamber are formed inside the installation frame 1, at least two first installation holes 111 are provided on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber, and at least two second installation holes are provided on the bottom wall 11 of the second chamber;

[0047] A first fan module 3, the first fan module 3 is correspondingly arranged in the first chamber, and the first fan module 3 is provided with a first connector plug 301, and the number of the second connector plugs 401 is less than the number of the corresponding first mounting holes 111;

[0048] A second fan module 4, the second fan module 4 is correspondingly arranged in the second chamber, and the second fan module 4 is provided with a second connector plug 401, and the number of the second connector plug 401 is equal to the number of the corresponding second mounting holes;

[0049] The anti-foolproof baffle 2 is fixed on the mounting frame 1, and is used to block at least one first mounting hole 111 on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber. The number of unblocked first mounting holes 111 is equal to the number of first connector plugs 301. The first connector plugs 301 can pass through the first mounting holes 111 accordingly, and the number of unblocked first mounting holes 111 is less than the number of second connector plugs 401, so as to prevent the second fan module 4 from being installed in the first chamber.

[0050] Specifically, the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole have the same shape and size, and the first chamber and the second chamber have the same shape and size. In other words, the parameters of the first chamber and the second chamber on the mounting frame 1 are the same. Thus, if the foolproof baffle 2 is not provided, the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 can be installed in both the first chamber and the second chamber. Therefore, the problem of the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 being installed in the wrong position is likely to occur.

[0051] In the fan assembly in the embodiment of the present application, since the number of unobstructed first mounting holes 111 corresponding to the first chamber is equal to the number of first connector plugs 301 and is less than the number of second connector plugs 401, when the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 are installed, the first fan module 3 can only be installed in the first chamber accordingly, and the second fan module 4 can only be installed in the second chamber accordingly. When the second fan module 4 is installed in the first chamber, the second connector plug 401 and the anti-foolproof baffle 2 will interfere with each other, resulting in the second connector plug 401 on the second fan module 4 not being able to pass through the mounting frame 1 completely, that is, the second fan module 4 cannot be installed in place in the first chamber, thereby avoiding the situation where the second fan module 4 is mistakenly installed in the first chamber, ensuring the accuracy of the airflow direction of the fan assembly, and having a good heat dissipation effect, thereby being able to dissipate heat for servers and other equipment, thereby improving the performance of servers and other equipment.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present application, the shape of the first mounting hole 111 matches the shape of the first connector plug 301, and the shape of the second mounting hole matches the shape of the second connector plug 401. The first connector plug 301 and the second connector plug 401 use connector plugs of the same specification. In some embodiments of the present application, the first connector plug 301 and the second connector plug 401 both use male connectors for plugging and mating with the female connector on the fan board to achieve electrical connection between the first fan module 3 and / or the second fan module 4 and the fan board.

[0053] The difference between the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 is that the number of built-in fans is different, so the number of connector plugs on the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 is also different. For example, the first fan module 3 is a single fan module and the second fan module 4 is a dual fan module. The single fan module only needs one first connector plug 301, and the dual fan module needs two second connector plugs 401. Of course, the first fan module 3 can also be a three-fan module, a four-fan module or more, and the number of fans and the number of connector plugs in the second fan module 4 are different from those in the first fan module 3.

[0054] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the anti-foolproof shield 2 includes a fixing portion 21 and a shielding portion 22 formed on one side of the fixing portion 21, the fixing portion 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1, and the shielding portion 22 overlaps at least partially with the area of ​​the first mounting hole 111.

[0055] Exemplarily, two first mounting holes 111 are correspondingly arranged on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber, and two second mounting holes are correspondingly arranged on the bottom wall 11 of the second chamber. The foolproof baffle 2 is arranged on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber to cover one of the first mounting holes 111. The fixing portion 21 of the foolproof baffle 2 is used to be fixedly connected with the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1 (that is, the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber) to achieve the installation of the foolproof baffle 2. The shielding portion 22 is formed on one side of the fixing portion 21 and extends to the position of the first mounting hole 111. The shielding portion 22 at least overlaps with a part of the area of ​​the first mounting hole 111 to ensure that the first connector plug 301 or the second connector plug 401 cannot pass through the blocked first mounting hole 111, thereby avoiding the situation where the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 are installed in the wrong position, and also avoiding the problem that the first fan module 3 is installed in the first chamber in the wrong direction. For example, two first mounting holes 111 are arranged at intervals along the left-right direction on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber. When both first mounting holes 111 are not blocked, the first fan module 3 can be installed in the first chamber by reversing the installation direction (from forward installation to rearward installation). However, the wrong installation direction of the first fan module 3 will also lead to the problem of incorrect airflow direction and poor heat dissipation effect. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present application, one of the first mounting holes 111 is blocked, and the first connector plug 301 on the first fan module 3 can only pass through the unblocked first mounting hole 111, and there is no possibility of the first fan module 3 being installed in the wrong direction.

[0056] The foolproof baffle 2 can be integrally formed with the mounting frame 1, or fixed to the mounting frame 1 by welding, bonding, etc. Of course, it can also be fixedly connected to the mounting frame 1 by fasteners.

[0057] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, a first connection hole 211 is provided on the fixing portion 21, and a second connection hole 113 is provided on the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1. The fastener is matched with the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 to mount the fixing portion 21 on the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1. Specifically, the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 can both be light holes, and the fastener is a threaded member. The fastener passes through the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 in sequence and then matches with a nut to fix the foolproof baffle 2; or, the first connection hole 211 is a light hole, and the second connection hole 113 is a threaded hole. The fastener passes through the first connection hole 211 and then matches with the second connection hole 113 to fix the foolproof baffle 2. The installation of the foolproof baffle 2 is achieved by matching the first mounting hole 111 and the second mounting hole with the fastener, which facilitates the installation and removal of the foolproof baffle 2, and can flexibly adjust the position of the foolproof baffle 2, so that the fan assembly has the possibility of different structural combinations.

[0058] It is understandable that the number of the first chamber and the second chamber in the mounting frame 1 can be multiple, and the multiple first chambers and the second chambers are arranged in sequence along the left-right direction, and the position of the anti-foolproof baffle 2 can be reasonably set according to the installation position of the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4. For example, if the first chamber originally designed for installing the first fan module 3 is to be used for installing the second fan module 4, then the anti-foolproof baffle 2 originally installed on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber is removed; if the first chamber originally designed for installing the second fan module 4 is to be used for installing the first fan module 3, then the anti-foolproof baffle 2 needs to be installed on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber. In the embodiment of the present application, fasteners are used to fix the anti-foolproof baffle 2, which is convenient for installing and removing the anti-foolproof baffle 2, and the position of the anti-foolproof baffle 2 can be reasonably adjusted according to actual needs.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present application, the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 are both salad holes. The number of the first connection holes 211 and the number of the second connection holes 113 are both multiple, so as to avoid the anti-foolproofing block 2 from rotating easily by only one first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 cooperating. The use of multiple first connection holes 211 and multiple second connection holes 113 cooperating limits the rotational freedom of the anti-foolproofing block 2, making the installation structure of the anti-foolproofing block 2 more stable.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the foolproof baffle 2 is disposed on the inner side or outer side of the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1. Specifically, when the foolproof baffle 2 is installed on the inner side of the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1, the foolproof baffle 2 is hidden inside the mounting frame 1 and does not affect the appearance of the fan assembly; when the foolproof baffle 2 is installed on the outer side of the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1, it is easier to operate when installing the foolproof baffle 2.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning column 212 is provided on the fixing portion 21, and a positioning groove 112 is provided on the bottom wall 11 of the mounting frame 1 to cooperate with the positioning column 212. The positioning column 212 cooperates with the positioning groove 112 to achieve pre-positioning of the anti-foolproofing baffle 2, which facilitates the installation of the anti-foolproofing baffle 2. When installing the anti-foolproofing baffle 2, first insert the positioning column 212 into the positioning groove 112 to determine the installation position of the anti-foolproofing baffle 2, and then install the anti-foolproofing baffle 2 by means of the fastener cooperating with the first connecting hole 211 and the second connecting hole 113.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, a plurality of positioning posts 212 are provided to prevent the foolproof baffle 2 from rotating when it is pre-positioned.

[0063] The distance between the positioning column 212 and the first connection hole 211 is L, and the distance between the positioning slot 112 and the second connection hole 113 is M, M = L. This ensures that the positioning column 212 cooperates with the positioning slot 112, and the first connection hole 211 and the second connection hole 113 can be aligned, so as to facilitate fixing the foolproof baffle 2.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, two first mounting holes 111 are provided on the bottom wall 11 of the first chamber, wherein one first mounting hole 111 is blocked by the anti-foolproof block piece 2, the number of the first connector plug 301 is one, and the first connector plug 301 passes through the unblocked first mounting hole 111; two second mounting holes are provided on the bottom wall 11 of the second chamber, the number of the second connector plugs 401 is two, and the two second connector plugs 401 pass through the two second mounting holes correspondingly.

[0065] Exemplarily, the first fan module 3 is a single fan module, and the second fan module 4 is a dual fan module. The first fan module 3 has only one first connector plug 301, which can just pass through the unobstructed first mounting hole 111, that is, the first fan module 3 can just be installed in the first chamber, and the second fan module 4 has two second connector plugs 401, which can just pass through the two second mounting holes, that is, the second fan module 4 can just be installed in the second chamber; but if the second fan module 4 wants to be installed in the first chamber, the number of second connector plugs 401 is one more than the number of first mounting holes 111, and one of the first connector plugs 301 will interfere with the anti-foolproof baffle 2 at the obstructed first mounting hole 111, resulting in the second fan module 4 being unable to be installed in the first chamber, thereby avoiding the problem of incorrect installation positions of the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, a partition plate is provided in the mounting frame 1, which divides the internal space of the mounting frame 1 into one or more first chambers and / or second chambers; the first fan module 3 includes a first frame 31 and a first fan 32 provided in the first frame 31, the number of the first fans 32 is equal to the number of the first connector plugs 301, and they are connected one-to-one through wires; the second fan module 4 includes a second frame 41 and a second fan 42 provided in the second frame 41, the number of the second fans 42 is equal to the number of the second connector plugs 401, and they are connected one-to-one through wires; a snap-in is provided on the first frame 31 and / or the second frame 41, and a snap-in groove is correspondingly provided on the partition plate, and after the first fan module 3 and / or the second fan module 4 are installed in place, the snap-in is correspondingly snapped into the snap-in groove.

[0067] Specifically, the first frame 31 and the second frame 41 have the same shape and size. Taking the single fan module and the dual fan module as examples, when the first fan module 3 is a single fan module, two spaces for installing the first fan 32 are formed in the first frame 31, one of the spaces is used to install the first fan 32, and the other space is used to install the fan model 33. The first fan 32 is electrically connected to the first connector plug 301 through wires, and the first connector plug 301 is fixed in the through hole 311 at the bottom of the first frame 31; when the second fan module 4 is a dual fan module, two spaces for the second fans 42 are formed in the second frame 41, and the two second fans 42 are respectively installed in the two spaces. The two second fans 42 are respectively connected to the two second connector plugs 401 through wires, and the second connector plugs 401 are fixed in the holes of the bottom wall 11 of the second frame 41.

[0068] When the first fan module 3 is installed in the first chamber, the first connector plug 301 passes through the first mounting hole 111 accordingly. When the first connector plug 301 is installed in place, the snap-in piece on the first frame 31 can be snapped into the snap-in groove. At this time, a clicking sound is emitted to remind the operator that the installation is in place; similarly, when the second fan module 4 is installed in the second chamber, the second connector plug 401 passes through the second mounting hole accordingly. When the second connector plug 401 is installed in place, the snap-in piece on the second frame 41 can be snapped into the corresponding snap-in groove. At this time, a clicking sound is emitted to remind the operator that the installation is in place; but when the second fan module 4 wants to be installed in the first chamber, the second connector plug 401 will interfere with the anti-foolproof baffle 2, and then the snap-in piece cannot cooperate with the snap-in groove normally, and there will be no clicking sound. The operator can intuitively feel whether the installation position of the first fan module 3 and the second fan module 4 is accurate and whether they are installed in place.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping member includes an operating portion 51 and a clamping portion 52 , the operating portion 51 is connected to the clamping portion 52 , and the operating portion 51 can drive the clamping portion 52 to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to an external force.

[0070] Taking the second frame 41 as an example, a positioning groove recessed toward the center is provided on the side wall at the top of the second frame 41 that is arranged opposite to the partition plate, and the operating portion 51 and the clamping portion 52 are both located in the positioning groove, the lower end of the operating portion 51 is connected to the mounting frame 1, the clamping portion 52 is arranged on the operating portion 51, and the end of the clamping portion 52 protrudes from the side wall of the second frame 41 when not subject to external force. In the process of installing the second fan module 4 into the second chamber, the operating portion 51 is first pressed inward to drive the clamping portion 52 to produce elastic deformation, so that the end of the clamping portion 52 does not protrude from the side wall of the second frame 41, avoiding affecting the normal installation of the second fan module 4. When the second connector plug 401 passes through the second mounting hole and is in place, the operating portion 51 is released, the clamping portion 52 is reset and clamped with the corresponding clamping groove, so as to realize the fixed installation of the second fan module 4.

[0071] The left and right side walls of the second frame 41 may be provided with positioning grooves and clamping parts, and the clamping part 52 may be provided on the operating part 51 of one of the clamping parts, and the other clamping part may be provided with only the operating part 51. Of course, the clamping parts 52 may be provided on the operating parts 51 of both clamping parts, and the second frame 41 may be clamped with the installation frame 1 on both the left and right sides.

[0072] In order to facilitate the operator to apply force, the operating part 51 is set to be an arc-shaped plate, and the positioning groove is also arc-shaped in the top view. When the second fan module 4 is installed into the second chamber, the two operating parts 51 are pinched to put it in. After releasing, the operating part 51 on the side with the clamping part 52 rebounds, and the clamping part 52 is clamped into the clamping groove on the partition plate, thereby fixing the fan module.

[0073] It is understandable that the installation method of the first fan module 3 is the same as the installation method of the second fan module 4, which will not be described in detail here.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present application, the first frame 31 and the second frame 41 are both made of plastic material and have a certain elastic deformation capability.
