Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of servers, and particularly to a server. Background Art

[0002] To facilitate the connection of various modules in a server in a pluggable manner, for a server with a pluggable module architecture, a pluggable connector is usually used for connection. However, in related technologies, the structure of the pluggable connector is complex and the assembly difficulty is relatively high. Summary of the Invention

[0003] An embodiment of this application provides a server, which can simplify the structure of the connector bracket, reduce the components of the connector bracket, and thus reduce the assembly difficulty of the connector bracket.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the embodiment of this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a server, including: a circuit board and a connector assembly. The connector assembly is disposed on the circuit board. The connector assembly includes:

[0006] A first frame body, including a frame body main body and a first limiting plate integrally connected. The first limiting plate is connected to the first plate body of the frame body main body and is located on the first side surface of the frame body main body. The second side surface of the frame body main body is connected to the circuit board, and an elastic member is provided on the first side surface of the frame body main body;

[0007] A second frame body, which is connected to the first side surface to form a receiving space. The elastic member and the first limiting plate are located in the receiving space; the second frame body includes a second limiting plate, and the second limiting plate is disposed opposite to the first limiting plate;

[0008] A connector body, which is disposed in the receiving space. The connector body is limited between the second limiting plate and the first limiting plate, and the connector body abuts against the elastic member. Along the deformation direction of the elastic member, the connector body is movably connected to the first frame body and the second frame body; the connector body is used to connect a pluggable module.

[0009] In the embodiment of this application, by connecting the first limiting plate to the frame body main body of the first frame body, the first limiting plate is connected to the first plate body of the frame body main body and is located on the first side surface of the frame body main body; in this way, the first limiting plate and the frame body main body can be made into an integral part, reducing the number of components of the first frame body; by connecting the second frame body to the first side surface of the frame body main body, the second frame body includes a second limiting plate, and the second limiting plate is disposed opposite to the first limiting plate; in this way, the second frame body and the first frame body enclose and construct a receiving space for accommodating the connector body, so that the connector assembly only includes two components, namely the first frame body and the second frame body, reducing the components of the connector assembly. It only needs to connect the first frame body and the second frame body, reducing the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly.

[0010] In addition, after the connector body is disposed in the accommodation space, the connector body is limited between the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate, and the connector body abuts against the elastic member. Along the deformation direction of the elastic member, the connector body is movably connected to the first housing and the second housing. In this way, the connection between the connector body and the first housing and the second housing is a movable connection. When the pluggable module is plugged into and unplugged from the connector body, the connector body can float relative to the first housing and the second housing, thereby realizing the tight fit between the male connector and the female connector.

[0011] In one implementation, the second housing further includes two third limiting plates, which are respectively connected to two ends of the second limiting plate, and the third limiting plate and the second limiting plate are an integral part; the third limiting plate is connected to the first housing; the third limiting plate is used to limit the connector body along the length direction of the second limiting plate.

[0012] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the third limiting plates at both ends of the second limiting plate, the third limiting plates can limit the connector body along the length direction of the second limiting plate, which can improve the stability of the floating of the connector body in the accommodation space and the stability of the connection between the male connector and the female connector. The third limiting plate and the second limiting plate are set as an integral part. In this way, the number of components required for the connector assembly is reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly is reduced.

[0013] In one implementation, a fixing portion is provided on a side of the first limiting plate facing away from the accommodation space, and an extending portion is provided on a side of the third limiting plate away from the second limiting plate, and the extending portion is connected to the fixing portion.

[0014] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the fixing portion on a side of the first limiting plate facing away from the accommodation space, and the extending portion on a side of the third limiting plate away from the second limiting plate, and the extending portion is connected to the fixing portion. In this way, the position where the third limiting plate is connected to the second limiting plate can be set outside the accommodation space, which can reduce the occupation of the accommodation space by the fixing portion, and thus can reduce the thickness of the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate and the third limiting plate. That is to say, the windward area of the first limiting plate, the second limiting plate and the third limiting plate can be reduced, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the connector body and the pluggable module.

[0015] In addition, the fixing portion and the first limiting plate are set as an integral part, and the extending portion and the third limiting plate are set as an integral part. In this way, the connector assembly only includes two components, namely the first housing and the second housing, which reduces the number of components of the connector assembly, facilitates the assembly of the connector assembly, and reduces the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly.

[0016] In one implementation, along the length direction of the first limiting plate, a recessed portion is provided on the side of the fixing portion away from the accommodating space, and the extending portion is connected within the recessed portion, so that the side of the third limiting plate facing away from the accommodating space is flush with the surface of the housing body.

[0017] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a recessed portion on the side of the fixing portion away from the accommodating space along the length direction of the first limiting plate, and the extending portion is connected within the recessed portion; in this way, after the extending portion is connected to the fixing portion, the side of the third limiting plate away from the accommodating space can be flush with the surface of the housing body, ensuring the flatness of the connector assembly, reducing the occupation of the space inside the server cabinet by the connector assembly, and being beneficial to the full utilization of the space inside the server cabinet.

[0018] In one implementation, the recessed portion has an avoidance portion extending towards the housing body, the extending portion has an extended portion, the extended portion extends towards the housing body, and the extended portion is connected to the avoidance portion.

[0019] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing an avoidance portion extending towards the housing body in the recessed portion, and providing an extended portion in the extending portion, the extended portion extends towards the housing body, in this way, the extended portion can be connected to the avoidance portion, increasing the contact area between the extending portion and the fixing portion, facilitating the setting of screw holes for fixedly connecting the extending portion and the fixing portion on the extending portion and the fixing portion. The stability of the connection between the extending portion and the fixing portion can be improved, that is, the stability of limiting the connector body after the second housing and the first housing are connected can be improved.

[0020] In one implementation, the side of the second housing facing the housing body abuts against the housing body;

[0021] The first limiting plate is provided with a first limiting protrusion, and the first limiting protrusion is located on the side of the fixing portion away from the housing body; the first limiting protrusion abuts against the side of the third limiting plate away from the second limiting plate.

[0022] In the embodiment of the present application, the side of the second housing facing the housing body abuts against the housing body, in this way, when the frictional force of the connection between the extending portion and the fixing portion fails, the housing body can form a block for the second housing, thereby being able to prevent the second housing from rotating, improving the stability of the connection between the second housing and the first housing; in addition, a first limiting protrusion is provided on the first limiting plate, the first limiting protrusion is located on the side of the fixing portion away from the housing body, and the first limiting protrusion abuts against the side of the third limiting plate away from the second limiting plate, in this way, the first limiting protrusion can prevent the second housing from rotating relative to the first housing, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the second housing and the first housing, that is, improving the stability of limiting the connector body by the first housing and the second housing.

[0023] In one implementation, there are two first limiting bumps, and one first limiting bump is provided on each of the two sides of the first limiting plate along the length direction.

[0024] In the embodiments of the present application, by respectively arranging a first limiting bump on each of the two sides of the first limiting plate along the length direction, in this way, the two first limiting bumps can abut against and block the two third limiting plates. Thus, the two first limiting bumps can provide a balanced limiting force to the second frame body through the two third limiting plates, and the stability of the first limiting bump for limiting the second frame body can be improved.

[0025] In one implementation, the second frame body further includes a second plate body, the second plate body is connected between the two third limiting plates, and the second plate body is located on the side of the third limiting plate away from the frame body.

[0026] The first limiting plate penetrates through the side of the second plate body facing the accommodation space.

[0027] In the embodiments of the present application, by connecting the second plate body between the two third limiting plates, and the second plate body is located on the side of the third limiting plate away from the frame body. In this way, the second plate body can connect the two third limiting plates into a whole, so that the distance between the two limiting plates in the length direction of the second limiting plate can be kept unchanged, the strength of the third limiting plate can be improved, thereby improving the limiting ability of the third limiting plate to the connector body, and the stability of the third limiting plate for limiting the connector body is improved.

[0028] In addition, the second plate body and the third limiting plate are set as an integral part. In this way, the number of structural components of the second frame body is reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector body is reduced.

[0029] In addition, the first limiting plate penetrates through the side of the second plate body facing the accommodation space. In this way, the second plate body can be located on the side of the first limiting plate away from the accommodation space, which can reduce the occupation of the accommodation space by the second plate body and facilitate the full utilization of the accommodation space; the first limiting plate penetrates through the side of the second plate body facing the accommodation space, and the second plate body can be mutually limited with the first limiting plate, thereby preventing the second frame body and the first frame body from rotating relative to each other, and improving the stability of the second frame body and the first frame body for limiting the connector body.

[0030] In one implementation, the second plate body is located on the side of the first limiting bump on the first limiting plate away from the frame body.

[0031] In the embodiments of the present application, the second plate body is arranged on the side of the first limiting bump on the first limiting plate away from the frame body. In this way, it is convenient for the assembly of the second frame body and the first frame body, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly is reduced.

[0032] In one implementation, the second limiting plate, the third limiting plate and the second plate body are combined to form a first opening, which is connected to the accommodating space; the first opening is used for connecting the plug-in module to the connector body.

[0033] The second limiting plate, the third limiting plate and the second plate body are combined to form a first opening, which is communicated with the accommodating space. This facilitates the connection of the plug-in module with the connector body through the first opening.

[0034] In one implementation, at least one of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate is provided with a first limiting structure, and along the direction in which the elastic member recovers its deformation, the first limiting structure abuts against the side of the connector body away from the first plate body to limit the connector body to the accommodating space.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, a first limiting structure is provided on at least one of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate, and along the direction in which the elastic member recovers the deformation, the first limiting structure abuts against the side of the connector body facing away from the first plate body; in this way, the first limiting structure applies a force to the connector body that is opposite to the direction in which the elastic member recovers the deformation, thereby limiting the connector body to the accommodating space, avoiding the situation in which the connector body is pushed out of the accommodating space by the force provided by the elastic member, and improving the stability of the first limiting plate and the second limiting plate in limiting the connector body.

[0036] In one implementation, the connector body is provided with a second limiting structure, and along the direction in which the elastic member recovers its deformation, the second limiting structure abuts against the first limiting structure, and the first limiting structure abuts against the side of the second limiting structure facing away from the first plate body to limit the connector body to the accommodating space.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present application, a second limiting structure is provided on the connector body, and along the direction in which the elastic member recovers its deformation, the second limiting structure abuts against the first limiting structure, and the first limiting structure abuts against the side of the second limiting structure facing away from the first plate body. In this way, the connector body can be limited by the second limiting structure and the first limiting structure, and there is no need for the first limiting structure to directly contact the connector body to limit the connector body, thereby effectively protecting the connector body.

[0038] In one implementation, the first limiting structure includes any one of a groove and a notch, and the second limiting structure includes a second limiting protrusion; the second limiting protrusion is inserted into the first limiting structure;

[0039] Along the deformation direction of the elastic member, the size of the second limiting protrusion is smaller than the size of the first limiting structure.

[0040] In the embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure is set as any one of a groove or a slot, and the second limiting structure includes a limiting bump. In this way, the second limiting bump can be inserted into the groove or the slot, facilitating the cooperative assembly of the first limiting structure and the second limiting structure. Additionally, along the deformation direction of the elastic member, the size of the second limiting bump is set to be smaller than that of the first limiting structure. In this way, in the deformation direction of the elastic member, the connector body has a certain amount of movement space, facilitating the floating of the connector body within the accommodation space formed by the enclosure of the first housing and the second housing, and facilitating the tight fit between the male connector and the female connector.

[0041] In one implementation, there are multiple first limiting structures, and the multiple first limiting structures are arranged side by side along the length direction of the first limiting plate.

[0042] By arranging multiple first limiting structures side by side along the length direction of the first limiting plate, in this way, the connector body can be limited at multiple positions, enabling the first limiting structure to apply uniform force to the connector body when limiting the connector body, and improving the stability of the connector body being limited within the accommodation space.

[0043] In one implementation, a relief notch is provided on the side of the second limiting plate away from the housing body, and the relief notch is used to avoid structural components on the connector body.

[0044] By providing a relief notch on the side of the second limiting plate away from the housing body, it is convenient for the second limiting plate to avoid structural components on different types of connector bodies, and it is convenient for the accommodation space formed by the enclosure of the first housing and the second housing to adapt to different types of connector bodies. The adaptability of the connector assembly to different types of connector bodies is improved.

[0045] In one implementation, a second opening is provided on the housing body, and the second opening is in communication with the accommodation space. The second opening is used for the wire row of the connector body to pass through.

[0046] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a second opening on the housing body and the second opening being in communication with the accommodation space, in this way, it is convenient for the wire row of the connector body to pass through the second opening and be connected to the connector body.

[0047] In one implementation, there are multiple elastic members, and the multiple elastic members are distributed along the edge of the second opening.

[0048] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing multiple elastic members and distributing the multiple elastic members along the edge of the second opening, in this way, the multiple elastic members can provide uniform force to the connector body, and the stability of the connector body moving within the accommodation space is improved.

[0049] In one implementation, a preset gap exists between the connector body and the inner wall of the accommodation space.

[0050] In the embodiments of the present application, a reserved gap is provided between the connector body and the inner wall of the accommodating space. In this way, when the pluggable module is connected to the connector body, the connector body can absorb the misalignment tolerance between the pluggable module and the connector body through the reserved gap, facilitating the tight fit between the male head and the female head of the connector body.

[0051] In one implementation, a guide sleeve is provided in the box body, and the guide sleeve is disposed around the outer periphery of the first frame body and the second frame body for guiding the pluggable module.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a guide sleeve in the box body, the guide sleeve surrounds the outer periphery of the first frame body and the second frame body; in this way, when the pluggable module is connected to the connector body, the pluggable module can be initially guided by the guide sleeve first, facilitating the accurate alignment of the male connector and the female connector for plugging and unplugging, and improving the tolerance and guiding ability of the connector body.

[0073] It should be noted that many specific details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of this application. However, this application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0074] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "horizontal", "bottom", "inner", "outer" (if any) are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to this application. In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the first feature being "on" or "under" the second feature may be that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are indirectly in contact through an intermediate medium.

[0075] In this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, terms such as "connected", "connected to", "fixed" and the like shall be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. However, indicating a direct connection means that there is no connection relationship constructed through an excessive structure between the two connected main bodies, and they are only connected through the connection structure to form a whole. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0076] In this application, descriptions such as "first" and "second" are only for descriptive purposes and should not be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features.

[0077] Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the server provided by the embodiment of this application.

[0078] Servers now play important roles in various industries such as data storage, information exchange, and instruction control. Servers can include rack servers, cabinet servers, high-density servers, or blade servers, etc. It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the types of servers are only shown as some specific examples and do not limit the specific types of servers.

[0079] In some examples, referring to Figure 1 as shown, a server provided by an embodiment of the present application may include a box body 10. The box body 10 can be made of metal materials such as sheet metal or aluminum alloy.

The pluggable module may include a computing module, a storage module, an input / output module, and a power module, etc. It can be understood that other types of pluggable modules may also be provided inside the box body 10.

The computing module may include a circuit board and a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory module provided on the circuit board. The computing module may include a graphics processing unit (GPU), etc. It can be understood that in some examples of the embodiments of the present application, the types of computing modules are only shown as some specific examples and do not limit the specific types of computing modules.

[0085] In some examples, the power module can provide stable power supply for the server to ensure the normal operation of the server. Multiple power modules can be provided to prevent the server from malfunctioning and shutting down due to the failure of a single power module.

[0086] In some examples, to facilitate the insertion and extraction of the pluggable module in the box body 10 and electrically connect it to other modules in the server, the pluggable module and the circuit board in the box body 10 are usually connected through the connector assembly 20. For example, a male connector can be set on the pluggable module, and a female connector can be set in the box body 10. The insertion and extraction of the pluggable module are realized by the insertion and extraction of the male connector and the female connector. That is to say, the connector assembly 20 can be arranged on the circuit board to facilitate the insertion and extraction of the pluggable module.

[0087] In some examples, to reduce the tolerance between the male connector and the female connector, make the male connector and the female connector fit tightly, and improve the reliability of the connection of the pluggable module, the female connector is usually floatingly arranged in the box body 10 through the connector assembly 20, so that when the pluggable module is inserted and extracted, the female connector absorbs the tolerance existing between the male connector and the female connector in a floating manner, ensuring the tight fit of the male connector and the female connector.

[0110] In some examples, referring to Figure 4 as shown, the second housing 230 can include a second limiting plate 231. The second limiting plate 231 can be disposed opposite to the first limiting plate 211.

[0111] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 as shown, the connector body 30 can be disposed within the accommodation space 240. The connector body 30 can include any one of a male connector and a female connector. In some examples of the embodiment of the present application, the case where the connector body 30 includes a female connector is taken as a specific example for illustration.

[0112] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 as shown, the connector body 30 is limited between the second limiting plate 231 and the first limiting plate 211. Along the deformation direction of the elastic member 220 (for example, the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 3 ), the connector body 30 can be movably connected to the first housing 210 and the second housing 230. That is to say, the connector body 30 can move along the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 3 within the accommodation space 240.

[0113] In some examples, when the pluggable module is connected to the connector body 30, the male connector on the pluggable module is inserted into the female connector. The female connector can move along the negative direction of the x-axis in Figure 3 so as to compress the elastic member, enabling the elastic member 220 to store energy. The elastic member 220 stores energy and exerts a reaction force on the female connector, so that the male connector and the female connector are tightly fitted.

[0114] In some examples of the embodiments of the present application, by enclosing and constructing the first housing 210 and the second housing 230 to form a connector assembly 20 with an accommodation space 240, the connector body 30 is restricted by the first housing 210 and the second housing 230 within the accommodation space 240. In this way, it is convenient for the connector body 30 to be connected to the box body 10 and there can be a certain amount of floating between the connector body 30 and the box body 10, which is convenient for the male connector and the female connector to be closely matched. In addition, the connector assembly 20 only includes two components, namely the first housing 210 and the second housing 230, reducing the number of components of the connector assembly 20, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20.

[0115] In the embodiments of the present application, by connecting the first limiting plate 211 to the housing body 212 of the first housing 210, the first limiting plate 211 is connected to the first side surface 2121 of the housing body 212. In this way, the first limiting plate 211 and the housing body 212 can be made into an integral part, reducing the number of components of the first housing 210. By connecting the second housing 230 to the first housing 210, the second housing 230 includes a second limiting plate 231, and the second limiting plate 231 is disposed opposite to the first limiting plate 211. In this way, the second housing 230 and the first housing 210 enclose and construct an accommodation space 240 for accommodating the connector body 30, such that the connector assembly 20 only includes two components, namely the first housing 210 and the second housing 230, reducing the components of the connector assembly 20. It only needs to connect the first housing 210 and the second housing 230, reducing the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20.

[0116] In addition, after the accommodation space 240 is provided in the connector body 30, the connector body 30 is limited between the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231, and the connector body 30 abuts against the elastic member 220. Along the deformation direction of the elastic member 220, the connector body 30 is movably connected to the first housing 210 and the second housing 230. In this way, the connection between the connector body 30 and the first housing 210 and the second housing 230 is a movable connection. When the pluggable module is plugged and unplugged with the connector body 30, the connector body 30 can float relative to the first housing 210 and the second housing 230, thereby realizing the close fit between the male connector and the female connector.

[0117] In some examples, the second side surface of the housing body 212 can be connected to the circuit board.

[0118] In some examples, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, the second limiting plate 231 can be connected to the first housing 210 by a buckle 2321. For example, a card hole 2311 can be provided on the second limiting plate 231, and a buckle 2321 can be provided on the first housing 210, and the buckle 2321 can be inserted into the card hole 2311.

[0119] In some examples, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, the first housing 210 may include a third limiting plate 232. The third limiting plate 232 may be disposed at both ends of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction (for example Figure 5 the direction shown by the y-axis in the figure). That is to say, there may be two third limiting plates 232. One of the third limiting plates 232 may be disposed at one end of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction, and the other third limiting plate 232 may be disposed at the other end of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction. The third limiting plate 232 and the first limiting plate 211 may be an integral part.

[0120] In some examples, with reference to Figure 5 as shown, the buckle 2321 may be disposed at the end of the third limiting plate 232 facing the second limiting plate 231.

[0121] In some examples, after the connector body 30 is disposed on the first limiting plate 211, the second limiting plate 231 may be covered on the connector body 30, and the buckle 2321 is inserted into the card hole 2311 provided on the second limiting plate 231, so that the second limiting plate 231 is connected to the first housing 210, and the connector body 30 is limited between the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231.

[0122] Figure 6 is another exploded structure diagram of the connector assembly in the server provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0123] In some examples, with reference to Figure 6 as shown, the second housing 230 may include a third limiting plate 232. The third limiting plate 232 may be connected to both ends of the second limiting plate 231. The third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231 may be an integral part.

[0124] In some examples, the third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231 may be formed by bending a sheet metal part, so that the third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231 are an integral part.

[0125] In some examples, the third limiting plate 232 may be machined from a whole piece by tools such as a lathe or a milling cutter, so as to obtain the integrally connected third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231.

[0126] In some examples, the third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231 may be processed and formed into an integral part by casting or secondary casting.

[0127] In some examples of the embodiments of the present application, by setting the third limiting plate 232 and the second limiting plate 231 as an integral part, the number of components of the second housing 230 is reduced, and the number of components to be assembled during the assembly of the connector assembly 20 is reduced, thereby reducing the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20.

[0128] In some examples, the third limiting plate 232 can be connected to both ends of the second limiting plate 231. The third limiting plate 232 can be connected to both ends of the second limiting plate 231 in the length direction (for example Figure 3 and Figure 6 the direction shown by the y-axis in). That is to say, two third limiting plates 232 can be provided, one of the third limiting plates 232 is connected to one end of the second limiting plate 231 in the length direction, and the other third limiting plate 232 is connected to the other end of the second limiting plate 231 in the length direction.

[0129] In some examples, the third limiting plate 232 can be connected to the first housing 210. Thereby, the second housing 230 is connected to the first housing 210 to construct and form a connector assembly 20 having an accommodation space 240.

[0130] In some examples, referring to Figure 6 as shown, the third limiting plate 232 can be connected to the first housing 210 by snap connection. For example, a snap hole 2311 can be provided on the first limiting plate 211, and a snap 2321 can be provided at the end of the third limiting plate 232 facing the first limiting plate 211. After the connector body 30 is disposed on the first limiting plate 211, the second housing 230 is covered on the connector body 30 along Figure 6 the negative direction of the z-axis in, and the snap 2321 is inserted into the snap hole 2311, so that the second housing 230 is connected to the first housing 210, and the connector body 30 is limited in the accommodation space 240.

[0131] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 as shown, the third limiting plate 232 can limit the connector body 30 in the length direction of the second limiting plate 231. Thus, referring to Figure 3 as shown, the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231 can limit the connector body 30 in Figure 3 the direction shown by the z-axis in, the third limiting plate 232 can limit the connector body 30 in Figure 3 the direction shown by the y-axis in, and the frame body 212 can limit the connector body 30 from moving along Figure 3 the negative direction of the x-axis in. After the pluggable module is connected to the connector body 30, the connector body 30 is tightly fitted with the male connector under the action of the elastic member 220, improving the connection stability between the male connector and the female connector.

[0132] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing third limit plates 232 at both ends of the second limit plate 231, the third limit plates 232 can limit the connector body 30 along the length direction of the second limit plate 231, which can improve the stability of the floating of the connector body 30 in the accommodation space 240 and enhance the stability of the connection between the male connector and the female connector. The third limit plates 232 and the second limit plate 231 are provided as an integral part. In this way, the number of components required for the connector assembly 20 is reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20 is lowered.

[0133] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, a fixing portion 2111 may be provided on the side of the first limit plate 211 away from the accommodation space 240. Taking Figure 2 and Figure 3 the directions shown in as examples for illustration, the fixing portion 2111 may be provided below the first limit plate 211. The fixing portion 2111 and the first limit plate 211 may be an integral part. In this way, the number of components of the first frame 210 can be reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20 is lowered.

[0134] In some examples, the fixing portion 2111 may be fixedly connected to the box body 10. For example, screw holes or threaded holes may be formed in the fixing portion 2111 along the direction shown by the z-axis in Figure 3 . The fixing portion 2111 may be fixedly connected to the mounting bracket in the box body 10 through components such as screws, bolts or screws, so as to fixedly connect the connector assembly 20 to the box body 10.

[0135] In some examples, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 as shown, an extension portion 2322 may be provided on the side of the third limit plate 232 away from the second limit plate 231. The extension portion 2322 may be an integral part with the third limit plate 232. In this way, the number of components of the second frame 230 can be reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20 is lowered.

[0136] In some examples, the extension portion 2322 may be connected to the fixing portion 2111. That is to say, the extension portion 2322 may extend to below the first limit plate 211 and be connected to the fixing portion 2111.

[0137] In some examples, the extension portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111 can be connected by a snap 2321. For example, a snap 2321 can be provided on the extension portion 2322, and a snap hole 2311 can be provided on the fixing portion 2111. The snap 2321 is engaged in the snap hole 2311, thereby realizing the connection between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111. Alternatively, a snap 2321 can be provided on the fixing portion 2111, and a snap hole 2311 can be provided on the extension portion 2322. The snap 2321 is engaged in the snap hole 2311, thereby realizing the connection between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111.

[0138] In some examples, the extension portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111 can be connected by components such as screws, bolts or screws. In the embodiments of the present application, the connection manner between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111 is not limited.

[0139] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the fixing portion 2111 on the side of the first limiting plate 211 away from the accommodation space 240, and providing the extension portion 2322 on the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the second limiting plate 231, the extension portion 2322 is connected to the fixing portion 2111; thus, the position where the third limiting plate 232 is connected to the second limiting plate 231 can be set outside the accommodation space 240, which can reduce the occupation of the accommodation space 240 by the fixing portion 2111, thereby reducing the thickness of the first limiting plate 211, the second limiting plate 231 and the third limiting plate 232. That is to say, the windward area of the first limiting plate 211, the second limiting plate 231 and the third limiting plate 232 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the connector body 30 and the pluggable module.

[0140] In addition, the fixing portion 2111 and the first limiting plate 211 are provided as an integral part, and the extension portion 2322 and the third limiting plate 232 are provided as an integral part; thus, the connector assembly 20 only includes two components, namely the first frame 210 and the second frame 230, reducing the number of components of the connector assembly 20, facilitating the assembly of the connector assembly 20, and reducing the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20.

[0141] In some examples, referring to Figure 3 shown, along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211 (for example Figure 3 the direction shown by the y-axis in

[0142] ), a recessed portion 2112 can be provided on the side of the fixing portion 2111 away from the accommodation space 240. That is to say, the surface of the fixing portion 2111 can be recessed along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, thereby forming the recessed portion 2112. Figure 3 shown, the extension portion 2322 can be connected to the recessed portion 2112.

[0143] In some examples, along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, the depression depth of the depression portion 2112 can be greater than the thickness of the extension portion 2322. In this way, the side wall of the depression portion 2112 can be used to position the extension portion 2322, facilitating the connection of the extension portion 2322 to the depression portion 2112.

[0144] In some examples, along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, the depression depth of the depression portion 2112 can be equal to the thickness of the extension portion 2322. In this way, after connecting the extension portion 2322 to the depression portion 2112, the surface of the extension portion 2322 can be flush with the surface of the fixing portion 2111, ensuring the flatness of the surface of the connector assembly 20 and reducing the waste of the space inside the box body 10 caused by the uneven surface.

[0145] In some examples, the thickness of the extension portion 2322 can be equal to the thickness of the third limiting plate 232. In this way, on the one hand, it can ensure that the extension portion 2322 has sufficient strength to ensure the stability of the connection between the first frame body 210 and the second frame body 230; on the other hand, the thickness of the third limiting plate 232 can be reduced, that is, the windward area of the third limiting plate 232 can be reduced, which is beneficial to the heat dissipation of the connector body 30 and the pluggable module.

[0146] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a depression portion 2112 on the side of the fixing portion 2111 away from the accommodation space 240 along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, the extension portion 2322 is connected to the depression portion 2112; in this way, after the extension portion 2322 is connected to the fixing portion 2111, the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the accommodation space 240 can be flush with the surface of the frame body 212, ensuring the flatness of the connector assembly 20 and reducing the occupation of the space inside the server box body 10 by the connector assembly 20, which is beneficial to the full utilization of the space inside the server box body 10.

[0147] In addition, by setting the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the accommodation space 240 to be flush with the surface of the frame body 212, the blockage of the airflow caused by the uneven surface can be reduced, facilitating the airflow and the heat dissipation of the connector body 30 and the pluggable module.

[0148] Figure 7 It is another schematic structural diagram of the connector assembly in the server provided by the embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 It is another exploded structural diagram of the connector assembly in the server provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0149] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 as shown, the depression portion 2112 has an avoidance portion 2113 extending towards the frame body 212.

[0150] In some examples, the extension portion 2322 may have an extension part 2323. The extension part 2323 extends towards the housing body 212. The extension part 2323 may be connected to the avoidance part 2113.

[0151] In some examples, the recess depth of the avoidance part 2113 may be the same as, similar to, or approximate to that of the recess part 2112. The avoidance part 2113 may be formed simultaneously with the formation of the recess part 2112. For example, the recess part 2112 and the avoidance part 2113 may be obtained by machining the surface of the fixing part 2111 with tools such as a lathe or a milling cutter. Alternatively, the recess part 2112 and the avoidance part 2113 may be obtained by casting or injection molding.

[0152] In some examples, the extension part 2323 and the extension portion 2322 may be an integral part.

[0153] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the avoidance part 2113 extending towards the housing body 212 in the recess part 2112 and providing the extension part 2323 in the extension portion 2322, and the extension part 2323 extends towards the housing body 212. Thus, the extension part 2323 can be connected to the avoidance part 2113, and the contact area between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing part 2111 is increased, facilitating the setting of screw holes for fixedly connecting the extension portion 2322 and the fixing part 2111. The stability of the connection between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing part 2111 can be improved, that is, the stability of limiting the connector body 30 after the second housing 230 and the first housing 210 are connected can be improved.

[0154] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, to increase the area between the extension portion 2322 and the fixing part 2111 and facilitate the arrangement of screw holes and screws, the extension part 2323 may be connected to the third limiting plate 232 through an inclined slope. Thus, the overall area of the extension portion 2322 and the extension part 2323 can be increased, facilitating the setting of screw holes and screws.

[0155] Figure 9 is a cross-sectional view along the Figure 7 A - A line in

[0156] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, one side of the second housing 230 facing the housing body 212 abuts against the housing body 212.

[0157] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting plate 211 may be provided with a first limiting convex block 2114. The first limiting convex block 2114 may be provided at the end of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction.

[0158] In some examples, the first limiting bump 2114 may be located on the side of the fixing part 2111 away from the housing body 212. The first limiting bump 2114 may abut against the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the second limiting plate 231.

[0159] In some examples, the first housing 210 may be fixed to the housing 10 by means of components such as screws, bolts or screws. Then, the connector body 30 is disposed on the first limiting plate 211, and the side of the connector body 30 facing the housing body 212 may abut against the elastic member 220.

[0160] In some examples, referring to Figure 8 as shown, after the connector body 30 is disposed on the first limiting plate 211, the second housing 230 may be moved in the negative direction of the z-axis in Figure 8 . In the state shown in Figure 8 , the side of the extension part 2323 facing the housing body 212 abuts against the housing body 212. Continuing to move the second housing 230 in the negative direction of the z-axis in Figure 8 until one end of the third limiting plate 232 away from the second limiting plate 231 abuts against the first limiting bump 2114. At this time, the second housing 230 is limited by the first limiting bump 2114, and the second housing 230 cannot continue to move in the negative direction of the z-axis. Referring to Figure 8 as shown, at this time, the second housing 230 may be moved in the negative direction of the x-axis in Figure 8 until the side of the second housing 230 facing the housing body 212 abuts against the housing body 212, and the extension part 2322 enters the recess 2112. At this time, by connecting the extension part 2322 and the fixing part 2111 with components such as screws, bolts or screws, the assembly of the first housing 210 and the second housing 230 can be completed.

[0161] In the embodiments of the present application, by setting the side of the second housing 230 facing the housing body 212 to abut against the housing body 212. In this way, when the screw, bolt or screw becomes loose and the locking of the second housing 230 and the first housing 210 by the friction pair between the extension part 2322 and the fixing part 2111 fails, the housing body 212 can block the rotation of the second housing 230, thereby ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the second housing 230 in limiting the connector body 30.

[0162] In some examples, by abutting the first limiting bump 2114 against the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the second limiting plate 231, the rotation of the second housing 230 relative to the first housing 210 can be blocked by the first limiting bump 2114, thereby ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the second housing 230 in limiting the connector body 30.

[0163] In the embodiments of the present application, one side of the second housing 230 facing the housing body 212 abuts against the housing body 212. In this way, when the frictional force between the extending portion 2322 and the fixing portion 2111 fails, the housing body 212 can block the second housing 230, thereby preventing the second housing 230 from rotating and improving the connection stability between the second housing 230 and the first housing 210. Additionally, a first limiting protrusion 2114 is provided on the first limiting plate 211. The first limiting protrusion 2114 is located on the side of the fixing portion 2111 away from the housing body 212, and the first limiting protrusion 2114 abuts against the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the second limiting plate 231. In this way, the first limiting protrusion 2114 can prevent the second housing 230 from rotating relative to the first housing 210, thereby improving the connection stability between the second housing 230 and the first housing 210, that is, improving the limiting stability of the connector body 30 by the first housing 210 and the second housing 230.

[0164] In some examples, referring to Figure 8 as shown, there may be two first limiting protrusions 2114. One first limiting protrusion 2114 is provided on each of the two sides of the first limiting plate 211 along the length direction (for example, Figure 8 the direction shown by the y-axis in

[0165] In some examples, one of the first limiting protrusions 2114 may be provided on one side of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction. The other first limiting protrusion 2114 may be provided on the other side of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction.

[0166] In some examples, along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, the two first limiting protrusions 2114 may be oppositely arranged.

[0167] In some examples, the first limiting protrusion 2114 and the first limiting plate 211 may be an integral part.

[0168] In some examples, the first limiting protrusion 2114 may be provided at the end of the first limiting plate 211 in the length direction. The thickness of the first protrusion may be the same as the thickness of the first limiting plate 211, so that along the thickness direction of the first limiting plate 211 (for example, Figure 8 the direction shown by the z-axis in

[0169] In some examples, the first limiting protrusion 2114 may be formed by cutting the first limiting plate 211.

[0170] In the embodiments of the present application, by respectively arranging a first limiting bump 2114 on both sides of the first limiting plate 211 along the length direction, in this way, the two third limiting plates 232 can be abutted and blocked by the two first limiting bumps 2114. Thus, the two first limiting bumps 2114 can provide a balanced limiting force to the second frame body 230 through the two third limiting plates 232, which can improve the stability of the limiting effect of the first limiting bump 2114 on the second frame body 230.

[0171] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second frame body 230 may include a second frame 233. The second frame 233 may be connected between the two third limiting plates 232. The second frame 233 and the third limiting plate 232 may be an integral part. That is to say, the second limiting plate 231, the third limiting plate 232 and the second frame 233 of the second frame body 230 may be an integral part. In this way, the number of components of the second frame body 230 can be reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20 is lowered.

[0172] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the second frame 233 may be located on the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the frame body 212.

[0173] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the first limiting plate 211 may penetrate through the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240.

[0174] In some examples, referring to Figure 7 As shown, the end of the first limiting plate 211 away from the frame body 212 penetrates through the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240.

[0175] In some examples, there may be a first distance between the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240 and the second limiting plate 231. There may be a second distance between the side of the first limiting plate 211 facing the accommodation space 240 and the second limiting plate 231. The first distance may be greater than the second distance.

[0176] In some examples, the part where the first distance is greater than the second distance may be the thickness of the first limiting plate 211.

[0177] In some examples, referring to Figure 8 As shown, when assembling the first frame body 210 and the second frame body 230, the second frame body 230 can be moved along the Figure 8 negative z-axis direction in Figure 8Move the second housing 230 in the negative x-axis direction, and the end of the first limiting plate 211 away from the housing body 212 is inserted into the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240.

[0178] In the embodiment of the present application, by connecting the second frame 233 between the two third limiting plates 232, the second frame 233 is located on the side of the third limiting plate 232 away from the housing body 212; in this way, the second frame 233 can connect the two third limiting plates 232 into a whole, so that the distance between the two limiting plates in the length direction of the second limiting plate 231 can be kept unchanged, the strength of the third limiting plate 232 can be improved, thereby improving the limiting ability of the third limiting plate 232 to the connector body 30, and improving the stability of the third limiting plate 232 to limit the connector body 30.

[0179] In addition, the second frame 233 and the third limiting plate 232 are provided as an integral part, so that the number of structural components of the second housing 230 is reduced, and the assembly difficulty of the connector body 30 is reduced.

[0180] In addition, the first limiting plate 211 is passed through the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240. In this way, the second frame 233 can be located on the side of the first limiting plate 211 away from the accommodation space 240, which can reduce the occupation of the accommodation space 240 by the second frame 233 and facilitate the full utilization of the accommodation space 240; the first limiting plate 211 is passed through the side of the second frame 233 facing the accommodation space 240, and the second frame 233 can be mutually limited with the first limiting plate 211, thereby preventing the second housing 230 and the first housing 210 from rotating relative to each other, and improving the stability of the second housing 230 and the first housing 210 to limit the connector body 30.

[0181] In some examples, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the second frame 233 is located on the side of the first limiting bump 2114 away from the housing body 212. That is to say, in some examples of the embodiment of the present application, there is a third distance between the side of the first limiting bump 2114 away from the housing body 212 and the end of the first limiting plate 211 away from the housing body 212. Thus, the first limiting plate 211 located on the side of the first limiting bump 2114 away from the housing body 212 can be inserted into the second frame 233.

[0182] In some examples, the third distance may be equal to the width of the second frame 233.

[0183] In the embodiment of the present application, the second frame 233 is provided on the side of the first limiting bump 2114 away from the housing body 212 on the first limiting plate 211. In this way, it is convenient for the assembly of the second housing 230 and the first housing 210, and the assembly difficulty of the connector assembly 20 is reduced.

[0184] Figure 10 It is another exploded structural schematic diagram of the cooperation between the connector component and the connector body in the server provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0185] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 as shown, the second limiting plate 231, the third limiting plate 232 and the second frame 233 enclose and construct a first opening 234. The first opening 234 can be communicated with the accommodation space 240.

[0186] In some examples, the first opening 234 can be used for connecting the pluggable module to the connector body 30. That is to say, the male connector on the pluggable module can be connected to the connector body 30 (taking the female connector as an example for illustration) in the connector component 20 through the first opening 234.

[0187] By enclosing and constructing the first opening 234 through the second limiting plate 231, the third limiting plate 232 and the second frame 233, and the first opening 234 is communicated with the accommodation space 240, thus, it is convenient for the pluggable module to be connected to the connector body 30 through the first opening 234.

[0188] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 as shown, at least one of the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231 can be provided with a first limiting structure 2312.

[0189] In some examples, the first limiting plate 211 can be provided with a first limiting structure 2312.

[0190] In some examples, the second limiting plate 231 can be provided with a first limiting structure 2312.

[0191] In some examples, both the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231 can be provided with a first limiting structure 2312.

[0192] In some examples, the first limiting structure 2312 can be arranged on the side of the first limiting plate 211 away from the frame body 212. For example, a limiting hook bent towards the accommodation space 240 can be arranged at the end of the first limiting plate 211 away from the frame body 212, and the limiting hook can abut against the end face of the connector body 30 facing the first opening 234.

[0193] In some examples, the first limiting structure 2312 can be arranged on the side of the second limiting plate 231 away from the frame body 212. It can be understood that the arrangement manner of the first limiting structure 2312 on the second limiting plate 231 can be the same as, similar to or analogous to the arrangement manner on the first limiting plate 211. For details, reference can be made to the detailed description of the foregoing embodiments of the present application, and the embodiments of the present application will not be elaborated herein.

[0194] In some examples, the first limiting structure 2312 can apply a force to the connector body 30 in a direction opposite to the direction of the elastic member 220's restoration of deformation, so as to limit the connector body 30 within the accommodation space 240.

[0195] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 As shown, after the connector body 30 is limited within the accommodation space 240, the connector body 30 abuts against the elastic member 220, causing the elastic member 220 to deform. Referring to Figure 10 As shown, the elastic member 220 can restore its deformation in the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 10 . That is, in the embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 2312 can apply a force to the connector body 30 in the negative x-axis direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 10 , so as to limit the connector body 30 within the accommodation space 240. In this way, it is possible to prevent the elastic force of the elastic member 220 from pushing the connector body 30 out of the accommodation space 240.

[0196] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the first limiting structure 2312 on at least one of the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231, the first limiting structure 2312 applies a force to the connector body 30 in a direction opposite to the direction of the elastic member 220's restoration of deformation, thereby limiting the connector body 30 within the accommodation space 240. In this way, the connector body 30 can be limited within the accommodation space 240, avoiding the situation where the connector body 30 is pushed out of the accommodation space 240 by the force provided by the elastic member 220, and improving the stability of the first limiting plate 211 and the second limiting plate 231 in limiting the connector body 30.

[0197] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the connector body 30 can be provided with a second limiting structure 301. Along the direction of the elastic member 220's restoration of deformation, the second limiting structure 301 can abut against the first line structure, thereby limiting the connector body 30 within the accommodation space 240.

[0198] In some examples, the second limiting structure 301 can be a groove. The limiting hook of the first limiting structure 2312 can be inserted into the groove to limit the connector body 30.

[0199] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing the second limiting structure 301 on the connector body 30, along the direction of the elastic member 220's restoration of deformation, the second limiting structure 301 abuts against the first limiting structure 2312. In this way, the connector body 30 can be limited by the second limiting structure 301 and the first limiting structure 2312, without the first limiting structure 2312 directly contacting the connector body 30 to limit the connector body 30, effectively protecting the connector body 30.

[0200] In some examples, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the first limiting structure 2312 may include any one of a groove and a notch. In the embodiments of the present application, taking the first limiting structure 2312 including a notch as a specific example is shown.

[0201] Figure 11 It is a schematic structural diagram of the cooperation between the connector assembly and the connector body in the server provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0202] In some examples, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the second limiting structure 301 may include a second limiting bump 3011. Refer to Figure 11 As shown, the second limiting bump 3011 may be inserted into the first limiting structure 2312. That is, the second limiting bump 3011 may be inserted into the notch.

[0203] In some examples, refer to Figure 11 As shown, along the deformation direction of the elastic member 220 (for example Figure 11 the direction shown by the x-axis in Figure 11 ), the size of the second limiting bump 3011 may be smaller than the size of the first limiting structure 2312. So that the second limiting bump 3011 can move along the

[0204] In the embodiments of the present application, the first limiting structure 2312 is set as any one of a groove and a notch, and the second limiting structure 301 includes a second limiting bump 3011. In this way, the second limiting bump 3011 can be inserted into the groove or the notch, which is convenient for the cooperation and assembly of the first limiting structure 2312 and the second limiting structure 301. In addition, along the deformation direction of the elastic member 220, the size of the second limiting bump 3011 is set to be smaller than the size of the first limiting structure 2312. In this way, in the deformation direction of the elastic member 220, the connector body 30 has a certain activity space, so as to facilitate the floating of the connector body 30 in the accommodation space 240 formed by the enclosure of the first frame 210 and the second frame 230, and facilitate the tight fit of the male connector and the female connector.

[0205] In addition, in the embodiments of the present application, the connector body 30 is limited by the way that the second limiting bump 3011 is inserted into the groove or the notch. In this way, in the direction of the elastic member 220 restoring deformation, for example, along Figure 11In the positive direction of the x-axis, the second limiting bump 3011 can interfere with the inner wall of the groove or notch, thereby limiting the connector body 30 and limiting the connector body 30 within the accommodation space 240 to prevent the acting force of the elastic member 220 from restoring deformation from pushing the connector body 30 out of the accommodation space 240. In the deformation direction of the elastic member 220, for example, along Figure 11 In the negative direction of the x-axis, the second limiting bump 3011 can interfere with the inner wall of the groove or notch. In this way, during the insertion of the pluggable module, the connector body 30 can be prevented from excessively compressing the elastic member 220, the elastic effectiveness of the elastic member 220 can be maintained, and the situation of elastic fatigue caused by excessive compression of the elastic member 220 can be avoided.

[0206] In some examples, the dimensional difference between the second limiting bump 3011 and the groove or notch in the direction of the elastic member 220 restoring deformation can be specifically set according to different types of connector bodies 30, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0207] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can be provided. The plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can be arranged side by side along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211.

[0208] In some examples, some of the plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can be grooves. Another part of the plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can be notches.

[0209] In some examples, the plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can all be grooves.

[0210] In some examples, the plurality of first limiting structures 2312 can all be notches.

[0211] By arranging a plurality of first limiting structures 2312 side by side along the length direction of the first limiting plate 211, the connector body 30 can be limited at multiple positions, the force on the connector body 30 can be made uniform when the first limiting structure 2312 limits the connector body 30, and the stability of the connector body 30 limited within the accommodation space 240 is improved.

[0212] In some examples, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, a relief notch 2313 can be provided on the side of the second limiting plate 231 away from the frame body 212. The relief notch 2313 can avoid the structural components on the connector body 30.

[0213] In some examples, the relief notch 2313 can be formed by cutting the second limiting plate 231.

[0214] In some examples, the avoidance gap 2313 can be integrally formed when the second frame body 230 is cast or injection molded.

[0215] In some examples, the size and number of the avoidance gaps 2313 can be set according to different types of connector bodies 30, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0216] By providing an avoidance notch 2313 on the side of the second limiting plate 231 away from the frame body 212, the second limiting plate 231 can avoid structural components on different types of connector bodies 30, allowing the accommodating space 240 formed by the first frame body 210 and the second frame body 230 to accommodate different types of connector bodies 30. This improves the adaptability of the connector assembly 20 to different types of connector bodies 30.

[0217] For some examples, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the frame body 212 may be provided with a second opening 2122 . The second opening 2122 may be communicated with the accommodation space 240 .

[0218] In some examples, along the deformation direction of the elastic member 220 (eg Figure 10 The second opening 2122 may be disposed opposite to the first opening 234 (in the direction shown by the x-axis).

[0219] In some examples, the second opening 2122 can be used to allow the wire array 303 of the connector body 30 to pass through.

[0220] In some examples, the wire array 303 of the connector body 30 may be connected to the spring clip of the connector body 30 .

[0221] In the embodiment of the present application, a second opening 2122 is provided in the frame body 212 , and the second opening 2122 is connected to the accommodating space 240 , so that the wire array 303 of the connector body 30 can pass through the second opening 2122 and connect to the connector body 30 .

[0222] For some examples, refer to Figure 10 As shown, the elastic member 220 may include multiple elastic members 220. The multiple elastic members 220 may be distributed along the edge of the second opening 2122. In other words, the diameter of the second opening 2122 may be smaller than the diameter of the first opening 234. Thus, the elastic member 220 may be provided on the first side 2121 of the frame body 212, and the first side 2121 of the frame body 212 may be the side facing the receiving space 240.

[0223] In some examples, there may be four elastic members 220, and the four elastic members 220 may be respectively located at the four corners of the second opening 2122. It can be understood that in the embodiments of the present application, the specific number of the elastic members 220 is only shown as a specific example, and does not limit the number of the elastic members 220. In some examples, the number of the elastic members 220 may also be two, six, or the like.

[0224] In the embodiments of the present application, by providing a plurality of elastic members 220 distributed along the edge of the second opening 2122, the plurality of elastic members 220 can provide a uniform acting force on the connector body 30, thereby improving the stability of the connector body 30 during movement within the receiving space 240.

[0226] In some examples, referring to Figure 13 as shown, there is a preset gap 302 between the connection area and the inner wall of the receiving space 240.

[0227] In some examples, the preset gap 302 can be set according to the specific type of the connector body 30 and the cumulative tolerance of the tolerance chain of the server. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the specific value of the preset gap 302.

[0228] In the embodiments of the present application, a reserved gap is provided between the connector body 30 and the inner wall of the receiving space 240. In this way, when the pluggable module is connected to the connector body 30, the connector body 30 can absorb the misalignment tolerance between the pluggable module and the connector body 30 through the reserved gap, facilitating the tight fit between the male head and the female head of the connector body 30.

[0229] In some examples, referring to Figure 12 as shown, a guide sleeve 40 is provided in the box body 10, and the guide sleeve 40 is disposed around the outer peripheries of the first frame body 210 and the second frame body 230. The guide sleeve 40 is used to guide the pluggable module.
