Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a plug-in box mechanism and a server architecture. Background Art

[0002] Currently, to meet the heat dissipation requirements of electronic components in servers, air cooling units can be installed on the front or rear windows of the server. Typically, these units consist of multiple fan modules arranged side by side, with adjacent fan modules arranged closely together, lacking space for coupling with other cooling methods and thus lacking flexibility. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned background technical problems, the present application provides a plug-in mechanism and a server architecture to at least solve the problem of poor flexibility in the related art.

[0004] The present application provides a plug-in box mechanism, comprising: a main frame; a first air-cooling unit, comprising: a first fan plate, arranged on the main frame, the first fan plate being provided with a first electrical connection portion; at least two first fan modules, arranged on the main frame, and having a first electrical matching portion connected to the first electrical connection portion, at least one first fan module being at a different height from the other first fan modules; wherein the first electrical matching portions of the first fan module at a high position and the first fan module at a low position are both connected to the same first fan plate.

[0005] The present application also provides a server architecture, comprising a chassis and a slotting mechanism, wherein the slotting mechanism is disposed on a rear window of the chassis.

[0006] Based on the above-mentioned plug-in mechanism and server architecture, at least two first fan modules in the same air-cooling unit are arranged at different heights. The first fan modules at the high and / or low positions and the main frame can utilize the height difference between the first fan modules to form a space for coupling with other parts configured in the server. This makes the arrangement of the first fan modules in the first air-cooling unit more flexible and facilitates the heat dissipation of electronic components at different heights in the server. In addition, the first fan modules at the high and low positions are connected to the same first fan board, which also reduces the number of fan boards that need to be configured and reduces the difficulty of coupling the first air-cooling unit with the main frame.

[0040] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] It should be noted that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present 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 the present application. The terms "mounted", "connected", and "coupled" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. The terms "parallel", "perpendicular", and "equal" include the described situations and situations similar to the described situations, and the range of the similar situations is within the acceptable deviation range, where the acceptable deviation range is determined by those of ordinary skill in the art considering the measurements being discussed and the errors associated with the measurements of specific quantities (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and approximate parallel, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate parallel can be, for example, within 5° deviation; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and approximate perpendicular, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate perpendicular can also be, for example, within 5° deviation. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two equal ones is less than or equal to 5% of any one of them. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to specific situations.

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0043] With the increasing requirements for the computing power of servers, the requirements for server cooling also increase accordingly. In related technologies, in addition to using air-cooling units to cool servers, liquid cooling and other cooling methods can also be coupled with air-cooling units.

[0044] For example, a liquid cooling unit can be configured inside the server to directly exchange heat with high-power-consuming electronic devices in the server, while an air cooling unit can be used to dissipate heat from the radiators configured in the server. Usually, the air cooling unit includes a plurality of fan modules arranged side by side, and the adjacent fan modules are arranged closely. In the related art of coupling the air cooling unit with the liquid cooling unit, since the liquid cooling unit needs to be configured with corresponding pipelines to transport the medium, the liquid cooling unit will interfere with the closely arranged fan modules in the air cooling unit. Especially for a server architecture with a front air intake and rear air outlet air cooling method, in order to guide the pipeline for transporting the medium of the liquid cooling unit outside the server, it is necessary to omit a part of the plurality of fan modules that should be arranged in a row (i.e., arranged side by side at the same height) in the air cooling unit to avoid the pipeline. In this way, the omitted part of the fan module forms an air cooling blind area, that is, in this area, radiators and devices that require air cooling cannot be arranged between the rear window and the front window. Therefore, the limited space inside the server is wasted, resulting in great coupling difficulty between the air cooling unit and other cooling methods. In view of this, how to provide a chassis mechanism and a server architecture to meet the coupling requirements of the air cooling unit and other cooling units has become an urgent technical problem to be solved.

[0045] Figure 1 Is a perspective view of the chassis mechanism according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 Is Figure 1 A perspective view of another angle of the chassis mechanism shown.

[0046] The present application provides a chassis mechanism. Referring to Figure 1 And Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main body frame 110 and a first air cooling unit 120. The first air cooling unit 120 includes a first fan board 122 and at least two first fan modules 121. The first fan board 122 is disposed on the main body frame 110, and the first fan board 122 is provided with a first electrical connection portion 1221. At least two first fan modules 121 are disposed on the main body frame 110 and have a first electrical cooperation portion 1212 connected to the first electrical connection portion 1221. At least one first fan module 121 is at a different height from the other first fan modules 121. Among them, the first electrical cooperation portions 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the high position and the first fan module 121 at the low position are both connected to the same first fan board 122.

[0047] In such an embodiment, the chassis mechanism 100 arranges at least two first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 at different heights. The first fan modules 121 at the high position and / or the low position and the main body frame 110 can utilize the height difference between the first fan modules 121 to form a space for coupling with other parts configured in the server. Specifically, it can be the lower space formed between the lower part of the first fan module 121 at the high position and the chassis mechanism 100, or the upper space formed between the upper part of the first fan module 121 and the chassis mechanism 100 (which will be specifically described in the following embodiments). Since there is no need to avoid other devices configured in the server (such as the pipelines of the air-cooling unit) in the horizontal direction, therefore, the blind area in the server where air cooling cannot be carried out can be effectively reduced, so as to make full use of the space in the chassis mechanism 100 and the chassis of the server. In this way, the arrangement of the first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 can be made more flexible, and it is beneficial to dissipate heat from electronic devices at different heights in the server.

[0048] In addition, in the related art, different fan boards are often configured to form electrical connections for fan modules at different heights. In this embodiment, by connecting the first fan modules 121 at different heights to the same first fan board 122, the number of first fan boards 122 to be arranged is correspondingly reduced. This not only saves the space in the server occupied by arranging multiple fan boards, but also reduces the coupling difficulty caused by the interference of arranging multiple fan boards to other devices.

[0049] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the first air-cooling unit 120 includes at least three first fan modules 121. Among them, at least two first fan modules 121 are arranged at the same height and are arranged side by side.

[0050] In some illustrative embodiments, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as shown, the first air-cooling unit 120 includes, but is not limited to, 5 first fan modules 121 arranged. Specifically, four of the first fan modules 121 are arranged side by side at the same height position of the main body frame 110, that is, the first fan module 121 at the low position; the other first fan module 121 is arranged at a height position of the main body frame 110 higher than other first fan modules 121, that is, the first fan module 121 at the high position.

[0051] In some illustrative embodiments, the first fan module 121 at a higher position is disposed in the middle of the first air cooling unit 120. For example, for the first air cooling unit 120 having 5 first fan modules 121 as described above, the first fan module 121 at a higher position can be disposed between the other 4 first fan modules 121 at lower positions. Specifically, the distance between the first fan module 121 at a higher position and the bottom of the main body frame 110 should be configured to be greater than the pipeline diameter of the liquid cooling unit configured in the server architecture, so that the space defined by the first air cooling unit 120 and the main body frame 110 can be coupled with other parts of the server (such as the liquid cooling unit). It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0052] For example, the first air cooling unit 120 may include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or any other number of first fan modules 121.

[0053] Again, in the first air cooling unit 120, at least two first fan modules 121 can be configured to be higher than the other first fan modules 121.

[0054] Also, the first fan module 121 at a higher position can be disposed at a position other than the middle of the first air cooling unit 120.

[0055] Figure 3 Yes Figure 2 Partial enlarged view of the first fan plate and the first beam-shaped member part shown.

[0056] According to the embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the first air cooling unit 120 further includes a first beam-shaped member 123. The first beam-shaped member 123 is horizontally disposed between two opposite end faces of the main body frame 110. Among them, the first fan plate 122 is stacked on the first beam-shaped member 123.

[0057] In some illustrative embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first beam-shaped member 123 includes, but is not limited to, a sheet-like structure configured in an approximately rectangular shape, specifically, a metal sheet. The term "approximately rectangular" can be understood as meaning that the first beam-shaped member 123 has a short side and a long side that is significantly longer than the short side, and visually, the long side and the short side enclose a quadrilateral sheet-like structure. However, due to the assembly requirements of the first beam-shaped member 123 with the main frame 110 and / or the first fan plate 122, one or more end surfaces of the first beam-shaped member 123 are provided with grooves, through-holes, protrusions, and other structures, resulting in the first beam-shaped member 123 not meeting the strict geometric definition of a rectangle. Specifically, the longitudinal ends of the first beam-shaped member 123 are connected to the facing end surfaces of the main frame 110 (specifically, the end surfaces of the base 112). The first beam-shaped member 123 is connected to the main frame 110 by, but is not limited to, riveting, welding, bolting, snap-fitting, or any other means. Furthermore, the end surface of the first beam-shaped member 123 facing the first fan plate 122 is further provided with a limiting structure corresponding to the first fan plate 122 .

[0058] In some exemplary embodiments, the first fan plate 122 is stacked on the first beam 123. Specifically, an I-shaped nail is disposed on the upper end surface of the first beam 123, and a calabash hole is provided on the first fan plate 122 at a position facing the I-shaped nail. The calabash hole and the I-shaped nail cooperate to ensure accurate assembly of the first fan plate 122 and the first beam 123. This ensures accurate positioning of the first electrical connection portion 1221 of the first fan plate 122 and the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121.

[0059] Furthermore, the first beam 123 is further provided with screw holes, so that after the first fan plate 122 is assembled on the first beam 123 , the first fan plate 122 can be tightly fixed to the first beam 123 by fasteners (such as screws, etc.).

[0060] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first fan plate 122 has a first end surface and a second end surface that are separated from each other. The first end surface and the second end surface are respectively provided with a first electrical connection portion 1221. The first electrical connection portion 1221 on the first end surface is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at a lower position, and the first electrical connection portion 1221 on the second end surface is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at a higher position.

[0061] In some exemplary embodiments, the first fan plate 122 and the first beam 123 are stacked, the first end surface of the first fan plate 122 is in contact with the first beam 123, and the second end surface of the first fan plate 122 is away from the first beam 123.Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, the first beam member 123 is horizontally disposed on the main body frame 110, and the first fan plate 122 is disposed on the first beam member 123. Therefore, the first end face can be understood as the lower end face of the first fan plate 122, and the second end face can be understood as the upper end face of the first fan plate 122.

[0062] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first end face and second end face are only for distinguishing different end faces of the first fan plate 122. Therefore, for different usage scenarios, the above-mentioned first end face can also be understood as the upper end face of the first fan plate 122, and the second end face can also be understood as the lower end face of the first fan plate 122.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, a plurality of first electrical connection portions 1221 are respectively disposed on the upper end face of the first fan plate 122. Specifically, the number of the first electrical connection portions 1221 configured on the first fan plate 122 should be configured to be greater than or equal to the number of the first electrical cooperation portions 1212 provided on the first fan module 121 that needs to be connected to the first fan plate 122. Continuing to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the embodiment shown, in order to connect the above-mentioned five first fan modules 121 to the same first fan plate 122, at least five first electrical connection portions 1221 need to be configured on the first fan plate 122. Among them, the four first fan modules 121 at the lower position can be connected to the first electrical connection portions 1221 provided on the second end face (i.e., the upper end face) of the first fan plate 122, and the one first fan module 121 at the upper position can be connected to the first electrical connection portions 1221 provided on the first end face (i.e., the lower end face) of the first fan plate 122. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0064] For example, the number of the first electrical connection portions 1221 configured on the first fan plate 122 can be more than that of the first electrical cooperation portions 1212 of the first air cooling unit 120. That is to say, after each first fan module 121 is connected to the first fan plate 122, there are still some first electrical connection portions 1221 that are idle. In this way, the first fan plate 122 can also be applicable to other embodiments or usage scenarios, so that the first fan plate 122 can be replaced and reused in different scenarios to expand the applicability of the first fan plate 122.

[0065] Figure 4 is Figure 1 The perspective view of the first fan module at the lower position shown. Figure 5 is Figure 1 The perspective view of the first fan module at the upper position shown.

[0066] According to the embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the high position is disposed at the bottom of the first fan module 121.

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the low position is disposed at the top of the first fan module 121.

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, with reference to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fan module 121 includes a housing and a fan main body disposed in the housing. The housing is the installation base of the first fan module 121 and is adapted to connect the fan main body to the main frame 110 of the chassis mechanism 100 (such as the first installation space described below). The fan main body includes a motor and components such as a fan blade mounted on the output end of the motor, and is adapted to direct air to form an air flow. Further, the first electrical mating portion 1212 is disposed on the housing, and the first electrical mating portion 1212 is also electrically connected to the fan main body (such as the motor) so that the first fan module 121 can be powered externally. Among them, the electrical connection portion and the electrical mating portion can adopt electrical connectors. Specifically, one of the electrical connection portion and the electrical mating portion includes, but is not limited to, using a female connector, and the other can adopt a male connector.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the high position is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1221 located on the first end face (i.e., the lower end face) of the first fan plate 122. Further, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the low position is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1221 located on the second end face (i.e., the upper end face) of the first fan plate 122. It can be understood that in the projection with the housing of the first fan module 121 as the projection plane and the axial direction of the fan main body as the projection direction, the projections of the first fan module 121 at the low position and the first fan module 121 at the high position on the first fan plate 122 partially overlap.

[0070] That is to say, the first fan module 121 at the high position and the first fan module 121 at the low position are misaligned and connected to the first fan board 122. Among them, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the high position extends downward below the first fan board 122, while the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the low position extends upward above the first fan board 122. The first fan module 121 at the high position, the first fan module 121 at the low position, and the first fan board 122 effectively utilize the height space. In this embodiment, the space occupied by the first air cooling unit 120 in the height direction is less than the sum of the heights of the two first fan modules 121 and the thickness of the first fan board 122. In this way, a large amount of space can be saved in the height direction, and there is no need to redesign the height of the main frame 110.

[0071] Furthermore, the difference between the first fan module 121 at the high position and the first fan module 121 at the low position lies only in the position where the first electrical mating portion 1212 is provided. Therefore, it can be understood that the first fan module 121 at the high position and the first fan module 121 at the low position can adopt the same first fan module 121. When connecting the first fan module 121 to different first electrical connection portions 1221 of the first fan board 122, it is only necessary to rotate the first fan module 121 by 180° around the axis. Therefore, the usage scenario of the first fan module 121 is expanded, and the first fan module 121 can be reused.

[0072] In such an embodiment, through the cooperation of the first fan module 121 at the high position, the first fan module 121 at the low position, and the first fan board 122, the height space is saved. Moreover, through the position design of the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121, the first fan module 121 and the first fan board 122 can be reused, thereby further reducing the cost and assembly difficulty of the server architecture.

[0073] According to the embodiments of the present application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the chassis mechanism 100 further includes a second air cooling unit 130, and the second air cooling unit 130 is arranged in the upper space of the first air cooling unit 120. The second air cooling unit 130 includes a second fan board 131 and a second fan module 132. The second fan board 131 is arranged on the main frame 110, and the second fan board 131 is provided with a second electrical connection portion 1311. The second fan module 132 is arranged on the main frame 110 and has a second electrical mating portion connected to the second electrical connection portion 1311.

[0074] In some exemplary embodiments, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 are arranged side by side in a row array. Similarly, the second fan modules 132 in the second air-cooling unit 130 are also arranged in a row array, and each second fan module 132 is stacked on at least one first fan module 121 to form a column array. Specifically, in at least one column of fan modules arranged in a column array (i.e., the first fan modules 121 and / or the second fan modules 132), a spacing can be formed between the upper part of the fan module and the main body frame 110, a spacing can be formed between the lower part of the fan module and the main body frame 110, or spacings can be formed between both the upper and lower parts of the fan module and the main body frame 110. That is to say, the pipeline of the liquid-cooling unit can pass through the upper part of the fan module (i.e., the first fan modules 121 and / or the second fan modules 132), can pass through the lower part of the fan module, or can pass through the upper and lower parts of the fan module respectively, so as to couple the air-cooling unit with the liquid-cooling unit. How to pass, limit, and support the pipeline of the liquid-cooling unit will be described in the following embodiments.

Figure 7 is Figure 6 A perspective view from the bottom view of Figure 8 is Figure 6 An exploded view of the second beam-shaped member and the third beam-shaped member shown.

[0076] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second fan plate 131 has a third end face, and a second electrical connection portion 1311 is provided on the third end face. And / or, the second electrical mating portion 1322 of the second fan module 132 is provided at the bottom of the second fan module 132.

[0077] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second air-cooling unit 130 further includes a second beam-shaped member 133 and / or a third beam-shaped member 134. The second beam-shaped member 133, the third beam-shaped member 134, and the second fan plate 131 are stacked. Among them, at least one of the second beam-shaped member 133 and the third beam-shaped member 134 is horizontally provided between two opposite end faces of the main body frame 110.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, as Figures 6 to 8 shown, the second air-cooling unit 130 may only include the second beam-shaped member 133, or only include the third beam-shaped member 134, or include both the second beam-shaped member 133 and the third beam-shaped member 134 at the same time.

[0079] For example, in the case of the second air-cooling unit 130 comprising both the second beam 133 and the third beam 134, the second beam 133, the third beam 134, and the second fan plate 131 are stacked from top to bottom. This helps improve the support strength of the second fan plate 131 and the main frame 110 (e.g., the base 112). Furthermore, the combination of the second beam 133 and the third beam 134 provides a greater thickness, facilitating the provision of structures such as slots 1341 at both ends of the third beam 134 for assembly with the main frame 110, thereby satisfying the assembly requirements of the second fan plate 131 and the main frame 110.

[0080] Furthermore, the second beam 133 and / or the third beam 134 may also be designed similarly to the shape of the first beam 123 of the above-described embodiment, and the first beam 123 and the third beam 134 may interlock to reduce the overall thickness. Furthermore, the surface of the third beam 134 facing the second fan plate 131 may be provided with a retaining structure corresponding to the second fan plate 131. This retaining structure includes, but is not limited to, providing an I-nail on the lower end surface of the third beam 134 and a gourd-shaped hole in the second fan plate 131 to accurately assemble with the I-nail. Fasteners are then used to secure the second beam 133 and / or the third beam 134 to the second fan plate 131.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, the second air-cooling unit 130 includes, but is not limited to, two second fan modules 132. Specifically, the second electrical mating portions 1322 of the two second fan modules 132 are connected to different second electrical connection portions 1311 of the same second fan plate 131. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0082] For example, the second air cooling unit 130 may include 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or any other number of second fan modules 132 .

[0083] In the above embodiment, the first fan plate 122 is a reusable embodiment, and the second fan plate 131 can be understood as the first fan plate 122 flipped 180° vertically. In other words, the first fan plate 122 and the second fan plate 131 are merely used to distinguish different installation spaces within the above-mentioned plug-in mechanism 100. In some usage scenarios, the first fan plate 122 and the second fan plate 131 are interchangeable.

[0084] For example, when a certain fan board is disposed at the bottom of the main body frame 110, it can be regarded as the first fan board 122; and when the fan board is disposed at the top of the main body frame 110, by rotating the fan board 180°, it can be regarded as the second fan board 131. In this way, the fan board can be interchangeable in different installation spaces, improving the convenience of assembly and reducing the cost of manufacturing multiple fan boards with different specifications.

[0085] Figure 9 Yes Figure 1 is a perspective view of the second fan module shown.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 9 shown, the second fan module 132 includes a housing and a fan main body disposed in the housing, which is specifically similar to the first fan module 121, and thus will not be described in detail here. Further, the second electrical mating portion 1322 of the second fan module 132 is disposed at the bottom of the housing of the second fan module 132, and its arrangement is similar to that of the first fan module 121 at a high position in the above embodiment.

[0087] It should be noted that the above first fan module 121 and second fan module 132 are only used to distinguish different installation spaces in the above-mentioned chassis mechanism 100. In some usage scenarios, the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 are interchangeable.

[0088] For example, when a certain fan module is disposed at the bottom of the main body frame 110, it can be regarded as the first fan module 121, and when the fan module is disposed at the top of the main body frame 110, by rotating the fan module 180° around the axis, it can be regarded as the second fan module 132. In this way, the fan module can be interchangeable in different installation spaces, improving the convenience of assembling the fan module and the main body frame 110. And since the first fan module 121 at a low position, the first fan module 121 at a high position, and the second fan module 132 are only distinguished by the difference in the installation direction, therefore, the cost of using at least two different specifications of fan modules is also reduced.

[0089] Figure 10 Figure 2 is a perspective view of the chassis mechanism shown configured with a midplane. Figure 11 Yes Figure 10 is a partial enlarged view of the midplane shown.

[0090] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the plug-in mechanism 100 further includes a central backplane 170. The central backplane 170 is vertically mounted on the main frame 110. A third electrical connection portion is provided on the side of the central backplane 170 facing the main frame 110. The first fan plate 122 and the second fan plate 131 are also provided with a third electrical mating portion for connecting to the third electrical connection portion.

[0091] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the back panel bracket 171 is vertically arranged between two facing end surfaces of the main frame 110 , and the central back panel 170 is arranged on the back panel bracket 171 .

[0092] In some exemplary implementations, referring to Figure 10 As shown, the center backplane 170 is connected between two facing end surfaces of the main frame 110 and is arranged in a vertical direction. Specifically, the end surface of the center backplane facing the air cooling unit (such as the first fan board 122 and the second fan board 131) is provided with a third electrical connection portion. Correspondingly, the first fan board 122 is provided with a third electrical connection portion A1222, and the second fan board 131 is also provided with a third electrical connection portion B1312. These connect to third electrical connections (obstructed and not shown) at different heights on the center backplane 170 to form an electrical connection, allowing the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 to draw power from the power module 150 via the center backplane 170. Specifically, one of the electrical connection portion and the electrical connection portion includes, but is not limited to, a female connector, while the other may be a male connector. Furthermore, in addition to the third electrical connection portion, the center backplane 170 is also provided with other electrical connectors on its end surfaces to connect to various electronic components in the server.

[0093] Figure 12 yes Figure 10 Exploded view of the backplate bracket shown.

[0094] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 12 As shown, the back panel bracket 171 includes a first plate-shaped member 1711 and a second plate-shaped member 1712. The first plate-shaped member 1711 is connected to the main frame 110 at both ends, and the second plate-shaped member 1712 and the center back panel 170 are connected to the opposite end surfaces of the first plate-shaped member 1711. The elastic modulus of the second plate-shaped member 1712 is configured to be greater than the elastic modulus of the first plate-shaped member 1711. The first plate-shaped member 1711, the second plate-shaped member 1712, and the center back panel 170 may have hollow areas, such as through-holes for heat dissipation.

[0095] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 10 and Figure 12As shown, the backplane bracket 171 is configured as a double-layer structure, including a first plate-like member 1711 and a second plate-like member 1712. The first plate-like member 1711 and the second plate-like member 1712 have different elastic moduli. Since the elastic modulus of the second plate-like member 1712 is configured to be greater than that of the first plate-like member 1711, therefore, the first plate-like member 1711 is more likely to deform compared to the second plate-like member 1712.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, the first plate-like member 1711 is provided with a step nut for connecting (such as riveting) a board card. Further, the second plate-like member 1712 is connected (such as riveted) to the first plate-like member 1711. Among them, the first plate-like member 1711 includes but is not limited to being made of materials such as aluminum alloy and steel, and specifically can be integrally formed from profiles made of the above materials; the second plate-like member 1712 includes but is not limited to being made of alloy materials formed by components such as iron, carbon, and silicon, and specifically can be formed by casting the above materials.

[0097] In such an embodiment, the first plate-like member 1711 is more likely to deform than the second plate-like member 1712. Therefore, holes and grooves can be made using its lower elastic modulus to facilitate the installation of the middle backplane 170 on the main frame 110. On the contrary, the second plate-like member 1712 is less likely to deform than the first plate-like member 1711. Therefore, the first plate-like member 1711 and the middle backplane 170 can be supported by it. For example, when the middle backplane 170 (pre-installed on the backplane bracket 171) is loaded into the main frame 110 from front to back (such as pushed from the front window to the back window direction), the second plate-like member 1712 can effectively prevent the first plate-like member 1711 and the main frame 110 from deforming.

[0098] Figure 13 is Figure 1 A perspective view of the main frame part of the chassis mechanism shown.

[0099] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 13 As shown, the main frame 110 includes a bracket 111. A partition 1111 is provided inside the bracket 111 to divide the interior of the bracket 111 into a plurality of first installation spaces 113 in the horizontal and vertical directions. Among them, a part of the first installation spaces 113 are provided with a first fan module 121, or a second fan module 132, and another part of the first installation spaces 113 are provided with a support plate 140.

[0100] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13As shown, the main body frame 110 includes a bracket 111 located at the upper part and a base 112 at least partially located below the bracket 111. A plurality of partition plates 1111 are arranged in the bracket 111 along the horizontal direction and / or the vertical direction respectively to divide the internal space of the bracket 111 into a plurality of through first installation spaces 113. Specifically, the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 are slidably arranged in the first installation space 113 to assemble the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 on the main body frame 110.

[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 As shown, the plurality of first installation spaces 113 divided by the partition plates may be non-uniform.

[0102] For example, the volume of the first installation space 113 for assembling the first fan module 121 or the second fan module 132 may be larger than the volume of the first installation space for assembling the support plate 140. Of course, these first installation spaces 113 may also be uniformly arranged.

[0103] Further referring to Figure 13 As shown, at least a part of the support plate 140 is arranged in the lower space of the first fan module 121 at a high position. And / or, at least another part of the support plate 140 is arranged in the upper space of the first fan module 121 at a high position. And / or, at least another part of the support plate 140 is arranged in a staggered manner with the first fan module 121 at a high position in the height direction and is located between the second fan module 132 and the first fan module 121 at a high position in the horizontal direction.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 As shown, at least one support plate 140 is arranged below the first fan module 121 at a high position and is located in the lower space between two first fan modules 121 at a low position.

[0105] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 As shown, at least two support plates 140 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first fan module 121 at a high position and are located between the first fan module 121 at a high position and the adjacent second fan module 132 in the horizontal direction.

[0106] In such an embodiment, the space above or below the fan module (such as the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132) is utilized to accommodate the support plate 140 for threading the pipeline. In this way, when the chassis mechanism 100 couples the air-cooling unit and the liquid-cooling unit, each of the first fan modules 121 can still be arranged side by side. Since there is no need to omit a certain fan module to avoid the pipeline, the blind area in the server where air cooling cannot be performed can be effectively reduced, so as to make full use of the space in the chassis mechanism 100 and the chassis 200 of the server.

[0107] Figure 14 Yes Figure 13 Partial enlarged view of the support plate part shown. Figure 15 Yes Figure 13 Partial enlarged view of the assembly part of the bracket and the support plate of the chassis mechanism shown.

[0108] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the chassis mechanism 100 further includes a support plate 140 disposed on the main body frame 110, and the support plate 140 is provided with a pipe-passing hole 141 for threading the pipeline.

[0109] In some illustrative embodiments, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 shown, the support plate 140 includes, but is not limited to, a sheet-like structure whose cross-section adapted to the first installation space 113 is configured to be substantially rectangular. Specifically, a pipe-passing hole 141 is provided in the middle of the sheet-like support plate 140 to accommodate the pipeline of the liquid-cooling unit to pass through. Among them, the pipe-passing hole 141 can be one (to accommodate the inlet pipe or the outlet pipe to pass through), or multiple (to accommodate the inlet pipe and the outlet pipe to pass through respectively). Further, at least one fixing hole 143 is also provided around the pipe-passing hole 141 of the support plate 140 to connect the joint of the pipeline when the pipeline is threaded through the support plate 140.

[0110] In some illustrative embodiments, referring to Figure 14 shown, the support plate 140 further has a flanging structure bent towards the first installation space 113. Specifically, a stop groove 142 facing the first installation space 113 is provided in the flanging structure. Correspondingly, a stop pin 1112 is provided in the first installation space 113 formed by the bracket 111. In this way, when the support plate 140 is installed in the first installation space 113, the support plate 140 can be effectively limited by the cooperation of the stop groove 142 and the stop pin 1112, so that it is vertically installed on the bracket 111.

[0111] Figure 16 Yes Figure 13 Partial enlarged view of the baffle and elastic part of the chassis mechanism shown.

[0112] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 13 and Figure 16 as shown, the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132 are detachably disposed in the first installation space 113. The chassis mechanism further includes a baffle 160 disposed in the first installation space 113, and the baffle 160 is configured to move between a closed position where the first installation space 113 is closed and an open position where the first installation space 113 is opened.

[0113] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 13 and Figure 16 as shown, the baffle 160 is pivotally disposed on the wall of the first installation space 113. The chassis mechanism further includes an elastic member 161, and the elastic member 161 abuts against the baffle 160 and the wall of the first installation space 113, and is configured to apply a pressure to the baffle 160 to approach the closed position, so that the baffle 160 is reset to the closed position.

[0114] In some illustrative embodiments, with reference to Figure 13 and Figure 16 as shown, the baffle 160 includes but is not limited to being disposed in the first installation space 113 for assembling the first fan module 121 or the second fan module 132. Specifically, the baffle 160 is rotatably connected to the partition 1111 through a shaft. Further, the elastic member 161 includes but is not limited to a torsion spring, wherein the middle part of the torsion spring is sleeved outside the shaft, and the two arms (such as the upper arm and the short arm) of the torsion spring respectively press against the baffle 160 and the partition 1111, so as to apply a force to the baffle 160 from the open position to the closed position, thereby keeping the first installation space 113 in the closed position.

[0115] In some illustrative embodiments, with reference to Figure 16 ​As shown, the baffle 160 includes, but is not limited to, an inward-turning structure, that is, when the baffle 160 is in the closed position, the baffle 160 is located within the first installation space 113. Further, the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132 are / is configured to be detachably disposed within the first installation space 113 in a sliding manner. When the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is pushed into the first installation space 113, the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) abuts against the baffle 160 to overcome the elastic force of the elastic member 161, thereby causing the baffle 160 to swing to an open position substantially parallel to the inner wall (such as the side wall) of the first installation space 113. Similarly, when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is removed from the first installation space 113, the baffle 160 is reset to a closed position forming an angle with the inner wall (such as the side wall) of the first installation space 113 under the pressure exerted by the elastic member 161. In this way, when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is removed from the first installation space 113, the backflow of the cold air flow direction can be prevented to block heat dissipation.

[0116] Figure 17 is Figure 13 A partial enlarged view of the first space of the chassis mechanism shown, showing the stop portion 114.

[0117] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 17 As shown, a stop portion 114 is provided within the first installation space 113, and the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 are provided with limiting portions. The stop portion 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 at a high position and the stop portion 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 at a low position are provided at different end faces of the first installation space 113. And / or, the stop portion 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 at a low position and the stop portion 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the second fan module 132 are provided at different end faces of the first installation space 113.

[0118] According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to Figure 17 As shown, one of the stop portion 114 and the limiting portion is configured as a concave portion, and the other is configured as a convex portion that fits with the concave portion.

[0119] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 17As shown, a stop portion 114 is provided in the first installation space 113 for assembling the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132). The housing of the corresponding first fan module 121 is provided with a first limiting portion 1211, and the housing of the second fan module 132 is provided with a second limiting portion 1321.

[0120] In some exemplary embodiments, with reference to Figure 17 As shown, the stop portion 114 provided in the first installation space 113 forms a convex portion, and the corresponding limiting portion provided in the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) forms a concave portion. The convex portion may specifically be a stop pin protruding from the inner wall surface of the first installation space 113, and the concave portion may be a positioning hole. In this way, when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is pushed into the first installation space 113, the positioning hole is fitted and abutted against the stop pin to limit the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132). Among them, the stop portion 114 corresponding to the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 at a high position includes but is not limited to being provided in the upper part of the first installation space 113, and the stop portion 114 corresponding to the first fan module 121 at a low position includes but is not limited to being provided at the bottom of the first installation space 113. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0121] For example, the stop portions 114 provided for different first installation spaces 113 may also be respectively provided on the left and right parts. Specifically, as long as the positions of different stop portions 114 relative to the first installation space 113 are different, they can be distinguished to achieve an anti-misassembly effect.

[0122] In addition, regarding the above embodiment, where the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 are merely used to distinguish different installation spaces within the above-mentioned plug-in mechanism 100, it can be seen that the difference between the first fan module 121 in the lower position and the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 in the upper position is that the installation direction is rotated 180 degrees around the axis. To this end, by arranging the stoppers 114 in different positions within the different first installation spaces 113, a foolproof function can be achieved. That is, when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is installed in the first installation space 113 in the correct orientation, the positions of the stopper 114 and the limiting portion correspond, allowing the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) to be pushed into the first installation space 113. When the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is installed in the wrong orientation into the first installation space 113, the stopper 114 abuts against other parts other than the limiting portion, thereby preventing the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) from being pushed into the first installation space 113. This facilitates the installation of the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 to the main frame 110.

[0123] Figure 18 yes Figure 1 The three-dimensional image of the power module is shown.

[0124] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 18 As shown, the main frame 110 further includes a base 112 , a bracket 111 is disposed on the base 112 , and a second installation space 115 is defined between the bracket 111 and the base 112 . The plug-in mechanism 100 further includes a power module 150 detachably disposed in the second installation space 115 .

[0125] In some exemplary embodiments, the enclosed area between the bottom of the bracket 111 of the main frame 110 and the base 112 also forms a second installation space 115, which is used to accommodate the power module 150 in a reciprocating linear movement manner to realize insertion and installation operations and removal and disassembly operations.

[0126] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 18 As shown, limiting posts are provided on the inner walls of the base 112 facing each other. The bent section 1532 is provided with a limiting groove 1533 having an opening. When the power-assisting handle 153 is in the first position, the opening of the limiting groove 1533 extends along the direction in which the battery module is inserted into the base 112. When the power-assisting handle 153 is in the second position, the opening of the limiting groove 1533 extends in a direction forming an angle with the insertion direction.

[0127] Figure 19 yesFigure 18 Partial enlarged view of the fixing piece part shown

[0128] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 18 and Figure 19 shown, the power supply module 150 includes a housing 151, a power supply main body 152, a boosting handle 153 and a fastener 154. The housing 151 has a first surface disposed opposite to each other and a second surface located between the two first surfaces. The power supply main body 152 is disposed in the housing 151. The boosting handle 153 has a transition section 1531 and bending sections 1532 formed at two ends away from the transition section 1531. The bending sections 1532 are pivotally connected to the first surface. The boosting handle 153 is configured to swing the transition section 1531 between a first position away from the second surface and a second position abutting against the second surface. The fastener 154 is disposed between the transition section 1531 and the second surface to hold the boosting handle 153 in the second position.

[0129] In some exemplary embodiments, with reference to Figure 13 and Figure 18 shown, the boosting handle 153 is pivotally connected to two opposite first surfaces of the housing 151 of the power supply module 150 through the bending sections 1532, so that the boosting handle 153 can swing relative to the housing 151 (of the power supply module 150) to facilitate a worker to hold the transition section 1531, thereby pushing the power supply module 150 into (or taking out from) the second installation space 115. At the same time, through the swing of the boosting handle 153, the limiting groove 1533 formed by the bending sections 1532 can be adjusted to face the loading direction or a direction forming an angle with the base. When the limiting groove 1533 faces the loading direction, the limiting groove 1533 can be engaged with the limiting post to accurately load the power supply module 150 into the second installation space 115. After the power supply module 150 is installed in place, the worker can swing the transition section 1531 to a position abutting against the second surface. At this time, the limiting groove 1533 forms an angle with the loading direction. Therefore, the power supply module 150 cannot be disengaged from the second installation space 115. In this state, by further using a fastener 154 (such as a screw, etc.) to connect the fixing piece 1534 to the second surface, the power supply module 150 can be effectively held in this state to prevent the power supply module 150 from separating from the plug-in box mechanism 100.

[0130] Figure 20 Is a three-dimensional view of the server architecture according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0131] The present application further provides a server architecture, with reference to Figure 20 shown, including a chassis 200 and a plug-in box mechanism 100. The plug-in box mechanism 100 is disposed on the rear window of the chassis 200.

[0132] According to an embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 20As shown, the middle backplane 170 of the chassis insertion mechanism 100 and the chassis 200 define a first installation cavity, and the middle backplane 170 and the frame body of the chassis insertion mechanism 100 define a second installation cavity. Among them, a liquid cooling unit is arranged in the first installation cavity, and at least part of the pipeline of the liquid cooling unit passes through the main frame 110 of the chassis insertion mechanism 100.

[0133] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 20 As shown, the chassis insertion mechanism 100 can be inserted into the chassis 200 through the rear window. Among them, in the state where the chassis insertion mechanism 100 is inserted into the chassis 200, the middle backplane 170 (and the backplane support 171) provided on the chassis insertion mechanism 100 divides the interior of the server into two installation cavities (i.e., the above-mentioned first installation cavity and the second installation cavity). Among them, the area including the front window is used to install various electronic devices, specifically, it can be a central processing unit node, an image processing unit node, a data exchange node, etc. At least a part of the above-mentioned electronic devices is configured to be electrically connected to the electrical connection parts provided on the middle backplane 170. Further, the above-mentioned various electronic devices can be arranged in layers in the server to meet the design requirements of 4U or 6U, so that the server has a large expansion space. Among them, U is a standard rack height unit, and 1U is equal to 1.75 inches.

[0134] In some exemplary embodiments, to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-power-consuming electronic devices in the server, a liquid cooling unit is also configured in the server architecture. The liquid cooling unit at least includes devices such as cooling elements, pipelines, and pumps. Specifically, the cooling element includes, but is not limited to, a cold plate. The cooling element is arranged in the first installation cavity and is closely attached to the high-power-consuming electronic devices to achieve heat exchange; the pipeline at least includes a water inlet pipe communicating with the liquid inlet end of the cooling element and a water outlet pipe communicating with the liquid outlet end of the cooling element. The pump is respectively communicated with the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe, so that the medium can form a cycle in the cooling element. Among them, in order to guide the medium at a higher temperature after heat exchange with the high-power-consuming electronic devices outside the server, a support plate 140 needs to be arranged on the chassis insertion mechanism 100 to lead the water outlet pipe and / or the water inlet pipe of the liquid cooling unit outside the server to release heat.

[0135] In such an implementation manner, the chassis insertion mechanism 100 arranges at least two first fan modules 121 in the first air cooling unit 120 at different heights. The first fan modules 121 at the high position and / or the low position and the main frame 110 can utilize the height difference between the first fan modules 121 to form a space for coupling with the liquid cooling unit configured in the server. Since there is no need to avoid the pipelines arranged by the liquid cooling unit in the horizontal direction, therefore, the blind area in the server that cannot be air-cooled can be effectively reduced, so as to make full use of the space in the chassis of the chassis insertion mechanism and the server chassis. In this way, the arrangement of the first fan modules 121 in the first air cooling unit 120 can be made more flexible.

[0136] In addition, in the related art, different fan boards are often configured to form electrical connections for fan modules at different heights. In this embodiment, by connecting the first fan modules 121 at different heights to the same first fan board 122, the number of first fan boards 122 required to be arranged is correspondingly reduced, which not only saves the space in the server occupied by arranging multiple fan boards, but also reduces the coupling difficulty caused by interference with other devices caused by arranging multiple fan boards.

[0137] The other technical features of the server architecture have been described in detail in the above embodiments of the plug-in mechanism, and the server architecture has similar technical effects as the plug-in mechanism. Therefore, they will not be described in detail.

[0138] According to some exemplary embodiments of the present application, referring to Figure 20 As shown, the inserting mechanism 100 is detachably disposed on the chassis 200 .

[0139] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 20 As shown, the insert mechanism 100 is configured to be pushed into the chassis 200 along the rear window of the chassis 200. Specifically, the bottom surface of the chassis 200 is provided with an I-shaped nail 210, and the base 112 of the insert mechanism 100 is provided with a corresponding groove 1121. When the insert mechanism 100 is pushed into the chassis 200, the I-shaped nail 210 provided on the chassis 200 can be embedded in the groove 1121, thereby limiting the depth to which the insert mechanism 100 can be inserted into the chassis 200. Furthermore, the side panels of the chassis 200 are also provided with fastener holes 220, and correspondingly, the side walls of the base 112 of the plug-in mechanism 100 are provided with screw holes 1122. When the I-nail 210 of the chassis 200 is embedded in the groove 1121, the fastener hole 220 is exactly opposite to the screw hole 1122. The staff can insert fasteners (such as screws) into the fastener hole 220 to connect the plug-in mechanism 100 with the chassis 200.

[0140] According to some other exemplary embodiments of the present application, not shown in the figures, the inserting mechanism 100 is integrally provided in the chassis 200 .

[0141] In some exemplary implementations, not shown in the figures, the inserting mechanism 100 may be integrally provided in the chassis 200 , that is, the inserting mechanism 100 cannot be removed from the chassis 200 .

[0142] The above has introduced in detail an immersion liquid cooling device and an electronic device provided by the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can still be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
