When the test bench needs to be rotated, the electromagnetic clutch is powered off, the drive mechanism is disconnected from the first transmission mechanism, the telescopic rod extends to drive the second gear to move towards the plane where the first gear is located, so that the first gear meshes with the second gear. In this way, the drive mechanism can always be connected to only one of the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism, avoiding the situation where the drive mechanism is connected to both the first transmission mechanism and the second transmission mechanism at the same time, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0045] It is pointed out in the related art that with the continuous development and complexity of server hardware, the requirements for the test platform are also constantly increasing. Due to the fixed structure and single function of the traditional test platform, it has been difficult to meet the current diverse and high-efficiency test requirements. Especially during the test process, the inability to flexibly adjust the angle and height of the server not only affects the test efficiency but may also increase the work intensity of the test personnel, reducing the accuracy and convenience of the test work.

[0046] Based on the above considerations, in order to meet the current diverse and high-efficiency test requirements, the applicant has designed a test device for server hardware through in-depth research. The following refers to Figures 1 - 4 Describe the test device for server hardware according to the embodiments of the present application.

[0047] As Figures 1 - 4 shown, Figure 1 A test device for server hardware provided by an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 is Figure 1 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the test device for server hardware shown in Figure 3 is Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the a position shown in Figure 4 is Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of the clamping assembly shown in

[0048] The test device 100 for server hardware according to the embodiments of the present application includes: a support plate 1, a test bench 2, and a clamping assembly 3.

[0049] Specifically, the test bench 2 is rotatably arranged on the support plate 1, and the clamping assembly 3 is movably arranged on the test bench 2. The clamping assembly 3 includes: a fixed member 31 and a movable member. The movable member is connected to the fixed member 31, and the movable member is movable relative to the fixed member 31 in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. There are multiple clamping assemblies 3, and the multiple clamping assemblies 3 are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. Each clamping assembly 3 is movable along the radial direction of the test bench 2. The movable member includes a first movable block 32 and a second movable block 33. The first movable block 32 is slidably connected to the fixed member 31 relatively in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2, and the second movable block 33 is slidably connected to the first movable block 32 relatively in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. Thus, through the rotatable test bench 2 and the adjustable clamping assembly 3, the tester can quickly and easily adjust the position and angle of the hardware to be tested, meet different test requirements, reduce the time required for repositioning or installing the hardware, improve the overall test efficiency, be able to adapt to various types and sizes of server hardware, reduce the need for replacing the test device 100 of the server hardware, and further improve the work efficiency; moreover, by setting the fixed member 31, the first movable block 32 and the second movable block 33, the adjustability of the clamping assembly 3 in the radial direction and the circumferential direction is realized, it can adapt to server hardware of various sizes and shapes, improve the versatility and practicability of the test device 100 of the server hardware, reduce the time for reconfiguring the test area, and enhance the overall test efficiency.

[0050] It can be understood that the support plate 1 is the basis of the test device 100 for server hardware. The support plate 1 provides a stable installation position for the test bench 2. The test bench 2 is arranged on the support plate 1 and is rotatable relative to the support plate 1. The clamping assembly 3 is used to fix the server hardware to be tested to ensure that the server hardware remains stable during the test. Each clamping assembly 3 includes a fixed member 31 and a movable member. The movable member is movably connected to the fixed member 31, and the movable member and the fixed member 31 are movable relative to the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. In this way, by adjusting the position of the movable member, it can adapt to server hardware of different sizes and shapes. Moreover, in order to be able to stably clamp the server hardware, multiple clamping assemblies 3 are provided, and the multiple clamping assemblies 3 are evenly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2, enhancing the stability and reliability of the clamping.

[0051] For example, referring to Figure 1As shown in the figure, the test bench 2 is arranged on the upper side of the support plate 1. The test bench 2 is connected to the support plate 1. The test bench 2 is formed in a circular shape. The test bench 2 is rotatable relative to the support plate 1 in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. There are four clamping assemblies 3. The four clamping assemblies 3 are evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2. The four clamping assemblies 3 enclose a test area. The server hardware is placed in the test area. The size and shape of the test area are defined by the four clamping assemblies 3. Specifically, the distance between the four clamping assemblies 3 defines the size of the test area. Each clamping assembly 3 includes a fixed part 31 and a movable part. The relative position of the movable part and the fixed part 31 defines the shape of the test area.

[0052] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown in the figure, the clamping assembly 3 includes four. Each of the four clamping assemblies 3 includes a fixed part 31, a first movable block 32 and two second movable blocks 33. The first movable block 32 is slidably connected to the fixed part 31. The first movable block 32 is slidable relative to the fixed part 31 in the circumferential direction of the test bench 2 (such as Figure 1 the A direction shown in the figure). The two second movable blocks 33 are arranged adjacent to each other in the length direction of the first movable block 32. Each second movable block 33 is slidably connected to the first movable block 32. Each second movable block 33 is slidable relative to the first movable block 32 in the circumferential direction. In this way, the clamping assembly 3 can not only be adjusted according to the size of the server hardware, but also be adjusted according to the shape of the server hardware. When clamping hardware with an irregular shape, the position of the second movable block 33 can be adjusted to ensure the best fixing effect.

[0053] According to the test device 100 for server hardware of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the rotatable test bench 2 and the adjustable clamping assembly 3, the tester can quickly and easily adjust the position and angle of the hardware to be tested, meet different test requirements, reduce the time required for repositioning or installing the hardware, improve the overall test efficiency, can adapt to various types and sizes of server hardware, reduce the need to replace the test device 100 for server hardware, and further improve the work efficiency; by setting the fixed part 31, the first movable block 32 and the second movable block 33, the adjustability of the clamping assembly 3 in the radial direction and the circumferential direction is realized, which can adapt to server hardware of various sizes and shapes, improve the versatility and practicability of the test device 100 for server hardware, reduce the time for reconfiguring the test area, and improve the overall test efficiency.

[0054] Further, a first engaging portion 311 is formed on the fixing member 31, a second engaging portion 321 is formed on the first movable block 32, the first movable block 32 and the fixing member 31 are slidably engaged through the first engaging portion 311 and the second engaging portion 321, a third engaging portion 322 is formed on the first movable block 32, a fourth engaging portion 331 is formed on the second movable block 33, and the second movable block 33 and the first movable block 32 are slidably engaged through the third engaging portion 322 and the fourth engaging portion 331. Thus, the sliding adjustment between the first movable block 32 and the fixing member 31 is realized through the first engaging portion 311 and the second engaging portion 321. The first engaging portion 311 and the second engaging portion 321 also play a guiding role, ensuring that the first movable block 32 relative to the fixing member 31 realizes the sliding adjustment between the second movable block 33 and the first movable block 32 through the third engaging portion 322 and the fourth engaging portion 331, solving the problem of poor flexibility when the traditional test platform clamps the hardware, and improving the stability during the test process.

[0055] It can be understood that, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, a first engaging portion 311 is formed on the fixing member 31. The first engaging portion 311 is formed as a first sliding groove, and the first sliding groove extends along the A direction. A second engaging portion 321 is formed on the first movable block 32. The second engaging portion 321 is formed as a first sliding block, and the first sliding block extends along the A direction. The first sliding block is located in the first sliding groove, and the first sliding block is slidable relative to the first sliding groove. Two first sliding grooves are formed on each fixing member 31, and the two first sliding grooves are arranged at intervals in the up-and-down direction. Two first sliding blocks are formed on each first movable block 32, and the two first sliding blocks are arranged at intervals in the up-and-down direction. The two first sliding grooves and the two first sliding blocks correspond to each other one by one. A third engaging portion 322 is formed on the first movable block 32. The third engaging portion 322 is formed as a second sliding groove, and the second sliding groove extends along the A direction. A fourth engaging portion 331 is formed on the second movable block 33. The fourth engaging portion 331 is formed as a second sliding block, and the second sliding block extends along the A direction. The second sliding block is located in the second sliding groove, and the second sliding block is slidable relative to the second sliding groove. Four second sliding grooves are formed on each first movable block 32. The four second sliding grooves are divided into two groups, and the two second sliding grooves in each group are arranged at intervals in the up-and-down direction. Two second sliding blocks are formed on each second movable block 33, and the two second sliding blocks are arranged at intervals in the up-and-down direction. The two second sliding blocks of each second movable block 33 are engaged with the corresponding two second sliding grooves.

[0056] Further, as Figure 4 shown, an anti-slip portion is formed on the surface of the second movable block 33 facing the test area. The anti-slip portion is formed as an anti-slip groove 332, and the anti-slip groove 332 extends in the up-and-down direction. The anti-slip groove 332 includes a plurality of them, and the plurality of anti-slip grooves 332 are arranged in the radial direction.

[0057] In other embodiments of the present application, the first engaging portion 311 and the second engaging portion 321 may also be formed in a form of cooperation between a track and a ball or a form of cooperation between a roller and a guide groove. The third engaging portion 322 and the fourth engaging portion 331 may also be formed in a form of cooperation between a track and a ball or a form of cooperation between a roller and a guide groove. The cooperation form between the first engaging portion 311 and the second engaging portion 321 includes but is not limited to this, and the cooperation form between the third engaging portion 322 and the fourth engaging portion 331 includes but is not limited to this.

[0058] In any one of the embodiments of the present application, the test device 100 for server hardware further includes: an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism is disposed between the support plate 1 and the test bench 2. The adjusting mechanism includes: a first transmission mechanism 4, a second transmission mechanism 5, an electromagnetic clutch 7, and a driving mechanism 6. The driving mechanism 6 is switchably connected to the first transmission mechanism 4 and the second transmission mechanism 5 through the electromagnetic clutch 7. Thus, by providing the electromagnetic clutch 7, the driving mechanism 6 can be quickly and stably switched between connecting the first transmission mechanism 4 and connecting the second transmission mechanism 5, and the function can be expanded without adding an additional power source. This not only saves space but also reduces the cost and the structural complexity of the test device 100 for server hardware. The tester can quickly and easily adjust the position and angle of the hardware to be tested to meet different test requirements.

[0059] It can be understood that with reference to Figure 2 As shown, the adjusting mechanism is located between the support plate 1 and the test bench 2. The first transmission mechanism 4, the second transmission mechanism 5, the electromagnetic clutch 7, and the driving mechanism 6 are all located between the support plate 1 and the test bench 2. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is energized, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the first transmission mechanism 4. The driving mechanism 6 is connected to the first transmission mechanism 4 through the electromagnetic clutch 7 and transmits power to the first transmission mechanism 4. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is de-energized, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the second transmission mechanism 5. The driving mechanism 6 is connected to the second transmission mechanism 5 and transmits power to the second transmission mechanism 5.

[0060] Further, the electromagnetic clutch 7 has a switchable engaged state and disengaged state. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the engaged state, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to at least some of the clamping assemblies 3 of the plurality of clamping assemblies 3 through the first transmission mechanism 4 for driving the clamping assemblies 3 to move in the radial direction of the test bench 2. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the disengaged state, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the test bench 2 through the second transmission mechanism 5 for driving the test bench 2 to rotate. Thus, a single driving mechanism 6 can perform multiple functions, that is, it can achieve precise movement in the radial direction through the first transmission mechanism 4 and can also achieve the rotation of the test bench 2.

[0061] It can be understood that as Figure 2 andFigure 3 As shown, the electromagnetic clutch 7 realizes the switching between the engaged state and the disengaged state by energizing and de-energizing. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the engaged state, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the four clamping assemblies 3 through the first transmission mechanism 4, and the power of the driving mechanism 6 is transmitted to the clamping assemblies 3, enabling the clamping assemblies 3 to move in the radial direction of the test bench 2 for adjusting the positions of the clamping assemblies 3 to accurately clamp the hardware under test. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the disengaged state, the driving mechanism 6 is connected to the test bench 2 through the second transmission mechanism 5, and the power of the driving mechanism 6 is transmitted to the test bench 2, causing the test bench 2 to rotate about the axis for adjusting the angle of the hardware under test.

[0062] In any embodiment of the present application, the first transmission mechanism 4 includes: a first gear set, a transmission rod 43, a lead screw 44, and a fitting 45. The first gear set includes a first bevel gear 41 and a second bevel gear 42. The first bevel gear 41 meshes with the second bevel gear 42. The first bevel gear 41 is connected to the transmission rod 43. The transmission rod 43 is connected to the drive shaft 61 of the driving mechanism 6 through the electromagnetic clutch 7. The lead screw 44 extends in the radial direction of the test bench 2 and is rotatable relative to the test bench 2. The second bevel gear 42 is connected to the lead screw 44. The fitting 45 is connected to the fixing member 31. The fitting 45 is sleeved on the lead screw 44 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 44. Thus, by providing the lead screw 44, the rotational motion is converted into a linear motion for accurately controlling the position of the fitting 45. The first bevel gear 41 and the second bevel gear 42 mesh with each other for transmitting power and changing the transmission direction. The overall design of the first transmission mechanism 4 is simple and the structure is compact, reducing the failure rate of the test device 100 for server hardware.

[0063] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the first bevel gear 41 is connected to the transmission rod 43. The transmission rod 43 extends in the up and down direction. When the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the engaged state, the transmission rod 43 is connected to the drive shaft 61 of the driving mechanism 6. The lead screw 44 extends in the horizontal direction. The second bevel gear 42 is connected to the lead screw 44. The fitting 45 is sleeved on the lead screw 44. The fitting 45 is connected to the fixing member 31. In this way, when the electromagnetic clutch 7 is in the engaged state, the power provided by the driving mechanism 6 is transmitted from the transmission rod 43 to the first bevel gear 41. The first bevel gear 41 transmits the power to the second bevel gear 42. The second bevel gear 42 transmits the power to the lead screw 44. The lead screw 44 rotates about its own axis, so that the fitting 45 moves in the axial direction of the lead screw 44, driving the clamping assembly 3 to move in the radial direction of the test bench 2.

[0064] Further, the first bevel gear 41 includes one, and the second bevel gear 42 includes four. One first bevel gear 41 meshes with four second bevel gears 42 simultaneously. In this way, the synchronous control of the clamping assembly 3 is achieved, ensuring the synchronous movement of the four clamping assemblies 3 and improving the clamping stability and reliability of the clamping assembly 3.

[0065] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping assembly 3 includes four, and the lead screw 44 includes four. The lead screw 44 and the clamping assembly 3 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence. A second bevel gear 42 is connected to each lead screw 44. In this way, each lead screw 44 correspondingly transmits power to one clamping assembly 3, which can ensure the accuracy of the operation, avoid mutual interference between multiple clamping assemblies 3, reduce the failure rate, and facilitate maintenance.

[0066] In any embodiment of the present application, the test bench 2 is formed with a meshing portion 23. The second transmission mechanism 5 includes: a second gear set and a telescopic rod 53. The second gear set includes a first gear 51 and a second gear 52. The second gear 52 meshes with both the first gear 51 and the meshing portion 23. One end of the telescopic rod 53 is connected to the support plate 1, and the other end of the telescopic rod 53 is connected to the second gear 52 to drive the second gear 52 to move in the up and down direction. Thus, by setting the telescopic rod 53, the movement of the second gear 52 in the up and down direction can be realized. When it is necessary to rotate the test bench 2, the electromagnetic clutch 7 is powered off, the driving mechanism 6 is disconnected from the first transmission mechanism 4, and the telescopic rod 53 extends to drive the second gear 52 to move towards the plane where the first gear 51 is located, so that the first gear 51 meshes with the second gear 52. In this way, the driving mechanism 6 can always be connected to only one of the first transmission mechanism 4 and the second transmission mechanism 5, avoiding the situation where the driving mechanism 6 is simultaneously connected to the first transmission mechanism 4 and the second transmission mechanism 5, thereby avoiding accidents.

[0067] It can be understood that, referring to Figure 2 As shown, the meshing portion 23 is formed on the test bench 2. The first gear 51 and the test bench 2 are coaxially arranged. The second gear 52 is located between the first gear 51 and the test bench 2 and meshes with both the first gear 51 and the meshing portion 23. The telescopic rod 53 extends in the up and down direction. The lower end of the telescopic rod 53 is fixedly connected to the support plate 1, and the upper end of the telescopic rod 53 is connected to the second gear 52. The telescopic rod 53 drives the second gear 52 to move in the up and down direction, so that the second gear 52 can mesh with the first gear 51 and the meshing portion 23, or the second gear 52 can be disengaged from between the first gear 51 and the meshing portion 23. A guiding groove 21 is formed on the test bench 2. The guiding groove 21 extends along the radial direction of the test bench 2. The fitting 45 passes through the guiding groove 21 and is connected to the fixing member 31.
