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.

They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present application. The terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, and may include, for example, fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. The terms "parallel," "perpendicular," and "equal" encompass the described conditions and conditions similar to the described conditions, provided that the range of the similar conditions is within an acceptable range of deviation, as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes both absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes both absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0042] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0043] As server computing power requirements increase, server heat dissipation requirements also increase accordingly. In related technologies, in addition to using air cooling units to dissipate heat from servers, liquid cooling and other heat dissipation methods can also be coupled with air cooling units.

[0044] For example, a liquid cooling unit can be configured within a server to directly exchange heat with the server's high-energy-consuming electronic components, while an air cooling unit can be used to dissipate heat from the server's radiator. Typically, an air cooling unit includes multiple fan modules arranged side by side, with adjacent fan modules closely spaced. In related technologies for coupling air cooling units with liquid cooling units, since the liquid cooling unit requires corresponding pipelines to transport the medium, the liquid cooling unit can interfere with the closely spaced fan modules within the air cooling unit. In particular, for server architectures with front-inlet, rear-outlet air cooling, in order to direct the liquid cooling unit's pipelines to the outside of the server, some of the fan modules, which should be arranged in rows (i.e., arranged side by side at the same height), must be omitted to avoid the pipelines. This omitted fan module creates a blind spot for air cooling. Specifically, within this area, from the rear window to the front window, radiators and components requiring air cooling cannot be installed. This wastes the limited space within the server and makes coupling the air cooling unit with other cooling methods very difficult. In view of this, how to provide a plug-in box mechanism and a server architecture to meet the coupling requirements of the air cooling unit and other heat dissipation units has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional diagram of the insertion box mechanism according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional view of the insertion mechanism from another perspective is shown.

[0046] This application provides a plug-in box mechanism, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main frame 110 and a first air-cooling unit 120. The first air-cooling unit 120 includes a first fan plate 122 and at least two first fan modules 121. The first fan plate 122 is arranged on the main frame 110 and is provided with a first electrical connection portion 1221. At least two first fan modules 121 are arranged on the main frame 110 and have a first electrical mating 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. The first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at a higher position and the first fan module 121 at a lower position are both connected to the same first fan plate 122.

[0047] In this embodiment, the plug-in mechanism 100 arranges at least two first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 at different heights. The height difference between the first fan modules 121 at higher and / or lower positions and the main frame 110 can be utilized to create a space for coupling with other server components. Specifically, this space can be the lower space formed by the plug-in mechanism 100 below the higher-positioned first fan module 121, or the upper space formed by the plug-in mechanism 100 above the first fan module 121 (details will be described in the following embodiments). Since there is no need to horizontally avoid other server components (such as cooling unit piping), blind spots within the server where air cooling is not possible are effectively reduced, fully utilizing the space within the plug-in mechanism 100 and the server chassis. This allows for greater flexibility in the placement of the first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 and facilitates heat dissipation for electronic components at different heights within 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 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.

[0049] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air cooling unit 120 includes at least three first fan modules 121. At least two first fan modules 121 are disposed at the same height and arranged side by side.

[0050] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first air cooling unit 120 includes, but is not limited to, five first fan modules 121. Specifically, four of the first fan modules 121 are arranged side by side at the same height of the main frame 110, i.e., the first fan modules 121 at the lower position; another first fan module 121 is arranged at a height higher than the other first fan modules 121 on the main frame 110, i.e., the first fan module 121 at the higher position.

[0051] In some exemplary embodiments, the upper first fan module 121 is positioned in the middle of the first air cooling unit 120. For example, in the aforementioned first air cooling unit 120 having five first fan modules 121, the upper first fan module 121 can be positioned between the other four lower first fan modules 121. Specifically, the spacing between the upper first fan module 121 and the bottom of the main frame 110 should be configured to be larger than the pipe diameter of the liquid cooling unit configured in the server architecture. This allows the space defined by the first air cooling unit 120 and the main frame 110 to couple with other components of the server (such as the liquid cooling unit). It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[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] For another example, in the first air cooling unit 120 , at least two first fan modules 121 may be configured to be higher than other first fan modules 121 .

[0054] For another example, the high-positioned first fan module 121 may be disposed outside the middle portion of the first air-cooling unit 120 .

[0055] Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the first fan plate and the first beam-shaped member is shown.

[0056] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first air cooling unit 120 further includes a first beam 123. The first beam 123 is horizontally disposed between two facing end surfaces of the main frame 110. The first fan plates 122 are stacked on the first beam 123.

[0057] In some exemplary 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-shaped member 123 is horizontally arranged on the main frame 110, and the first fan plate 122 is arranged on the first beam-shaped member 123. Therefore, the first end surface can be understood as the lower end surface of the first fan plate 122, and the second end surface can be understood as the upper end surface 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 the 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, the upper end surface of the first fan plate 122 is respectively provided with a plurality of first electrical connection portions 1221. Specifically, the number of the first electrical connection portions 1221 provided on the first fan plate 122 should be configured to be greater than or equal to the number of the first electrical matching portions 1212 provided on the first fan module 121 that needs to be connected to the first fan plate 122. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, to connect the five first fan modules 121 to the same first fan plate 122, at least five first electrical connectors 1221 are required on the first fan plate 122. The four lower first fan modules 121 can connect to the first electrical connectors 1221 provided on the second end surface (i.e., the upper end surface) of the first fan plate 122, while the one higher first fan module 121 can connect to the first electrical connector 1221 provided on the first end surface (i.e., the lower end surface) of the first fan plate 122. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0064] For example, the first fan plate 122 may be equipped with more first electrical connection portions 1221 than the first air-cooling unit 120 (the first electrical connection portions 1212). This means that after each first fan module 121 is connected to the first fan plate 122, some first electrical connection portions 1221 remain unused. This allows the first fan plate 122 to be adapted for other implementations or usage scenarios, allowing it to be replaced and reused in different scenarios, thus expanding its applicability.

[0065] Figure 4 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional view of the first fan module in a lowered position is shown. Figure 5 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional view of the first fan module in a high position is shown.

[0066] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 4and Figure 5 As shown, the first electrical matching portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at a higher position is disposed at the bottom of the first fan module 121 .

[0067] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first electrical matching portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 at the lower position is disposed on the top of the first fan module 121 .

[0068] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first fan module 121 includes a frame and a fan body arranged in the frame, wherein the frame is the installation base of the first fan module 121, and is suitable for connecting the fan body to the main frame 110 of the plug-in mechanism 100 (such as the first installation space described below), and the fan body includes a motor and components such as fan blades installed at the output end of the motor, which are suitable for directional air flow. Furthermore, a first electrical matching portion 1212 is provided in the frame, and the first electrical matching portion 1212 is also electrically connected to the fan body (such as a motor) so that the first fan module 121 can be powered from the outside. The electrical connection portion and the electrical matching portion can adopt electrical connectors. Specifically, one of the electrical connection portion and the electrical matching portion includes but is not limited to a female connector, and the other can adopt a male connector.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the upper first fan module 121 is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1221 located on the first end surface (i.e., the lower end surface) of the first fan plate 122. Furthermore, the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the lower first fan module 121 is connected to the first electrical connection portion 1221 located on the second end surface (i.e., the upper end surface) of the first fan plate 122. This means that, with the frame of the first fan module 121 as the projection plane and the axial direction of the fan body as the projection direction, the projections of the lower first fan module 121 and the upper first fan module 121 partially overlap with the first fan plate 122.

[0070] That is, the high-positioned first fan module 121 and the low-positioned first fan module 121 are staggeredly connected to the first fan plate 122, wherein the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the high-positioned first fan module 121 extends below the first fan plate 122, while the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the low-positioned first fan module 121 extends above the first fan plate 122. The high-positioned first fan module 121, the low-positioned first fan module 121, and the first fan plate 122 effectively utilize the height space. In this embodiment, the height space occupied by the first air-cooling unit 120 is less than the sum of the heights of the two first fan modules 121 and the thickness of the first fan plate 122. This saves a significant amount of height space and eliminates the need to redesign the height of the main frame 110.

[0071] Furthermore, the difference between the high-positioned first fan module 121 and the low-positioned first fan module 121 lies solely in the location of the first electrical connection portion 1212. Therefore, it can be understood that the high-positioned first fan module 121 and the low-positioned first fan module 121 can utilize the same first fan module 121. Connecting the first fan module 121 to different first electrical connection portions 1221 of the first fan plate 122 is accomplished simply by rotating the first fan module 121 180° around its axis. This expands the use scenarios of the first fan module 121 and allows for its reuse.

[0072] In this embodiment, the coordination of the high-positioned first fan module 121, the low-positioned first fan module 121, and the first fan plate 122 saves space. Furthermore, the positioning of the first electrical mating portion 1212 of the first fan module 121 allows the first fan module 121 and the first fan plate 122 to be reusable, further reducing server architecture costs and assembly difficulty.

[0073] According to the embodiment of this application, continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the plug-in mechanism 100 also includes a second air-cooling unit 130, which is disposed above the first air-cooling unit 120. The second air-cooling unit 130 includes a second fan plate 131 and a second fan module 132. The second fan plate 131 is disposed on the main frame 110 and has a second electrical connection portion 1311. The second fan module 132 is disposed on the main frame 110 and has a second electrical connection 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, with each second fan module 132 stacked on at least one first fan module 121 to form a column array. Specifically, within at least one column of fan modules arranged in a column array (i.e., the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132), a spacing may be formed between the fan modules' upper portions and the main frame 110, between their lower portions and the main frame 110, or between both their upper and lower portions and the main frame 110. In other words, the piping of the liquid-cooling unit may pass through the upper portions of the fan modules (i.e., the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132), through the lower portions of the fan modules, or through both the upper and lower portions of the fan modules, to couple the air-cooling unit to the liquid-cooling unit. How to pass, limit and support the pipeline of the liquid cooling unit will be described in the following embodiments.

[0075] Figure 6 yes Figure 2 A partial enlarged view of the second fan plate, the second beam-shaped member and the third beam-shaped member is shown. Figure 7 yes Figure 6 A stereogram from an upward perspective. Figure 8 yes Figure 6 An exploded view of the second beam and the third beam is shown.

[0076] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second fan plate 131 has a third end surface, and the third end surface is provided with a second electrical connection portion 1311 . And / or, the second electrical matching portion 1322 of the second fan module 132 is provided at the bottom of the second fan module 132 .

[0077] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the second air cooling unit 130 further includes a second beam 133 and / or a third beam 134. The second beam 133, the third beam 134, and the second fan plate 131 are stacked. At least one of the second beam 133 and the third beam 134 is horizontally disposed between two facing end surfaces of the main frame 110.

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

[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 fan plate is installed at the bottom of the main frame 110, it can be considered the first fan plate 122; when the fan plate is installed at the top of the main frame 110, it can be rotated 180 degrees to become the second fan plate 131. This allows the fan plates to be interchangeable in different installation spaces, improving assembly convenience and reducing the cost of manufacturing multiple fan plates of different specifications.

[0085] Figure 9 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional view of the second fan module is shown.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 9 As shown, the second fan module 132 includes a frame and a fan body disposed within the frame. The details are similar to those of the first fan module 121 and will not be further described. Furthermore, the second electrical mating portion 1322 of the second fan module 132 is disposed at the bottom of the frame of the second fan module 132, similar in arrangement to the elevated first fan module 121 in the aforementioned embodiment.

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

[0088] For example, when a fan module is installed at the bottom of the main frame 110, it can be considered as the first fan module 121. When the fan module is installed at the top of the main frame 110, by rotating the fan module 180 degrees around the axis, it can be considered as the second fan module 132. In this way, the fan modules can be interchangeable in different installation spaces, improving the convenience of assembling the fan modules with the main frame 110. In addition, because the first fan module 121 in the lower position, the first fan module 121 in the upper position, and the second fan module 132 are distinguished only by the difference in installation direction, the cost of using at least two fan modules of different specifications is also reduced.

[0089] Figure 10 Figure 2 The illustrated perspective view of the insert mechanism is provided with a centrally positioned back panel. Figure 11 yes Figure 10 A partial enlarged view of the center back panel is shown.

[0090] According to the embodiments of this 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-shaped member 1711 and a second plate-shaped member 1712. The first plate-shaped member 1711 and the second plate-shaped member 1712 have different elastic moduli. Since 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 is more easily deformed than the second plate-shaped member 1712.

[0096] In some exemplary embodiments, first plate-shaped member 1711 is provided with a stepped nut suitable for connecting (e.g., riveting) a board. Furthermore, second plate-shaped member 1712 is connected (e.g., riveted) to first plate-shaped member 1711. First plate-shaped member 1711 may be made of, but not limited to, aluminum alloy, steel, or other materials, specifically by integrally molding a profile made of such materials. Second plate-shaped member 1712 may be made of, but not limited to, an alloy composed of, for example, iron, carbon, or silicon, specifically by casting such materials.

[0097] In such an embodiment, the first plate-like member 1711 is more susceptible to deformation than the second plate-like member 1712. For this reason, its lower elastic modulus can be used to form holes and grooves to facilitate the installation of the center back panel 170 on the main frame 110. On the contrary, the second plate-like member 1712 is less susceptible to deformation than the first plate-like member 1711. For this reason, it can be used to support the first plate-like member 1711 and the center back panel 170. For example, when the center back panel 170 (pre-installed on the back panel bracket 171) is installed into the subject frame 110 from front to back (such as pushed from the front window to the rear window), the second plate-like member 1712 can effectively prevent the first plate-like member 1711 and the main frame 110 from deformation.

[0098] Figure 13 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional view of the main frame portion of the insertion mechanism shown.

[0099] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 13 As shown, the main frame 110 includes a bracket 111. A partition 1111 is provided within 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. A portion of the first installation spaces 113 is provided with a first fan module 121 or a second fan module 132, while another portion of the first installation spaces 113 is provided with a support plate 140.

[0100] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13As shown, the main frame 110 includes a bracket 111 located at the top and a base 112 located at least partially below the bracket 111. A plurality of partitions 1111 are disposed within the bracket 111 along the horizontal and / or vertical directions to divide the interior space of the bracket 111 into a plurality of continuous first installation spaces 113. Specifically, the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 are slidably disposed in the first installation spaces 113 to allow the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 to be assembled to the main frame 110.

[0101] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 As shown, the plurality of first installation spaces 113 separated by the partitions 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, the first installation spaces 113 may also be evenly arranged.

[0103] Further references Figure 13 As shown, at least a portion of the support plate 140 is disposed in the lower space of the elevated first fan module 121. And / or, at least another portion of the support plate 140 is disposed in the upper space of the elevated first fan module 121. And / or, at least another portion of the support plate 140 is offset from the elevated first fan module 121 in the height direction and is horizontally located between the second fan module 132 and the elevated first fan module 121.

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

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

[0106] In this embodiment, the space above or below the fan modules (such as the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132) is used to accommodate the support plate 140 for routing the pipes. Thus, when the plug-in mechanism 100 couples the air-cooling unit with the liquid-cooling unit, the first fan modules 121 can remain arranged side by side. Since no fan module needs to be omitted to accommodate the pipes, this effectively reduces blind spots within the server where air cooling is unavailable, fully utilizing the space within the plug-in mechanism 100 and the server chassis 200.

[0107] Figure 14 yes Figure 13 A partial enlarged view of the support plate portion is shown. Figure 15 yes Figure 13 A partial enlarged view of the assembly part of the bracket and support plate of the plug-in mechanism is shown.

[0108] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the inserting mechanism 100 further includes a support plate 140 disposed on the main frame 110 , and the support plate 140 is provided with a pipe-through hole 141 for passing a pipe.

[0109] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the support plate 140 includes, but is not limited to, a sheet-like structure having a generally rectangular cross-section adapted to fit within the first installation space 113. Specifically, a pipe hole 141 is provided in the middle of the sheet-like support plate 140 to accommodate the passage of the liquid cooling unit's pipes. This pipe hole 141 can be either a single hole (to accommodate either the inlet or outlet pipe) or multiple holes (to accommodate both the inlet and outlet pipes). Furthermore, the support plate 140 is provided with at least one fixing hole 143 surrounding the pipe hole 141 to connect the pipe connectors when the pipes are passed through the support plate 140.

[0110] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 14 As shown, support plate 140 also has a flange structure that bends toward first installation space 113. Specifically, this flange structure is provided with a retaining groove 142 facing first installation space 113. Correspondingly, a retaining pin 1112 is provided within first installation space 113 formed by bracket 111. Thus, when support plate 140 is installed in first installation space 113, the engagement of retaining groove 142 and retaining pin 1112 effectively limits support plate 140 in position, allowing it to be vertically mounted on bracket 111.

[0111] Figure 16 yes Figure 13 A partial enlarged view of the blocking piece and elastic part of the insertion box mechanism is shown.

[0112] According to the embodiments of this application, referring 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 plug-in mechanism further includes a baffle 160 disposed in the first installation space 113. The baffle 160 is configured to move between a closed position for closing the first installation space 113 and an open position for opening the first installation space 113.

[0113] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, the baffle 160 is pivotally mounted on the wall of the first installation space 113. The insertion mechanism further includes an elastic member 161, which abuts against the baffle 160 and the wall of the first installation space 113 and is configured to apply pressure to the baffle 160 toward the closed position, thereby returning the baffle 160 to the closed position.

[0114] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 16 As shown, baffle 160 includes, but is not limited to, being disposed within first installation space 113 for mounting first fan module 121 or second fan module 132. Specifically, baffle 160 is rotatably connected to partition 1111 via a shaft. Furthermore, elastic member 161 includes, but is not limited to, a torsion spring, wherein the middle portion of the torsion spring is sleeved on the outside of the shaft, and the two arms of the torsion spring (e.g., the upper arm and the shorter arm) respectively press against baffle 160 and partition 1111, exerting a force on baffle 160 from an open position to a closed position, thereby maintaining first installation space 113 in the closed position.

[0115] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 16As shown, the baffle 160 includes, but is not limited to, an inward-turned structure, that is, when the baffle 160 is in the closed position, the baffle 160 is located within the first installation space 113. Furthermore, the first fan module 121 and / or the second fan module 132 include, but are not limited to, being detachably disposed in 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 (e.g., the side wall) of the first installation space 113. Similarly, after the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is removed from the first installation space 113, the barrier 160, under the pressure exerted by the elastic member 161, returns to a closed position, forming an angle with the inner wall (e.g., the side wall) of the first installation space 113. This prevents cold air from flowing back and hindering heat dissipation when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is removed from the first installation space 113.

[0116] Figure 17 yes Figure 13 The partially enlarged view of the first space of the inserting mechanism shows the stopper 114 .

[0117] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 17 As shown, a stopper 114 is provided in the first installation space 113, and limiters are provided on the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132. The stopper 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 in a higher position and the stopper 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 in a lower position are disposed on different end surfaces of the first installation space 113. And / or, the stopper 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the first fan module 121 in a lower position and the stopper 114 provided in the first installation space 113 for accommodating the second fan module 132 are disposed on different end surfaces of the first installation space 113.

[0118] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 17 As shown, one of the stopper portion 114 and the limiting portion is configured as a recessed portion, and the other is configured as a protruding portion engaged with the recessed portion.

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

[0120] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 17 As shown, the stopper 114 disposed within the first installation space 113 forms a convex portion, and the corresponding concave portion is formed on the limiting portion of the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132). The convex portion can be a stop pin protruding from the inner wall of the first installation space 113, and the concave portion can be a stop hole. Thus, when the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132) is pushed into the first installation space 113, the stop hole engages and abuts the stop pin, thereby limiting the position of the first fan module 121 (or the second fan module 132). The stopper 114 disposed for the first fan module 121 and the second fan module 132 in the upper position includes, but is not limited to, being disposed at the top of the first installation space 113, while the stopper 114 disposed for the first fan module 121 in the lower position includes, but is not limited to, being disposed at the bottom of the first installation space 113. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0121] For example, the stoppers 114 provided for different first installation spaces 113 may also be provided on the left and right parts, respectively. Specifically, the different stoppers 114 can be distinguished by simply making different positions relative to the first installation spaces 113 to achieve a foolproof 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 yes Figure 18 A partial enlarged view of the fixing plate portion is shown.

[0128] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the power module 150 includes a shell 151, a power main body 152, a power-assisting handle 153 and a fastener 154. The shell 151 has first surfaces arranged opposite to each other, and a second surface located between the two first surfaces. The power main body 152 is arranged on the shell 151. The power-assisting handle 153 has a transition section 1531 and a bending section 1532 formed at two ends of the transition section 1531 that are away from each other. The bending section 1532 is pivotally connected to the first surface. The power-assisting handle 153 is configured to swing the transition section 1531 between a first position away from the second surface and a second position abutting the second surface. The fastener 154 is arranged between the transition section 1531 and the second surface to keep the power-assisting handle 153 in the second position.

[0129] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 13 and Figure 18 As shown, the power-assisting handle 153 is pivotally connected to the two facing first surfaces of the housing 151 via the bent section 1532, so that the power-assisting handle 153 can swing relative to the power module 150 (the housing 151), making it easier for the staff to hold the transition section 1531, thereby pushing the power module 150 into (or removing) the second installation space 115. At the same time, through the swinging of the power-assisting handle 153, the limiting groove 1533 formed by the bent section 1532 can be adjusted to face the installation direction, or to a direction that forms an angle with the base. When the limiting groove 1533 faces the installation direction, the limiting groove 1533 can be engaged with the limiting column to accurately install the power module 150 into the second installation space 115. Once the power module 150 is fully installed, the operator can swing the transition section 1531 until it abuts the second surface. At this point, the retaining groove 1533 forms an angle with the insertion direction, preventing the power module 150 from escaping from the second installation space 115. In this position, the fixing piece 1534 can be attached to the second surface using fasteners 154 (e.g., screws), effectively maintaining the power module 150 in this position and preventing it from separating from the plug-in mechanism 100.

[0130] Figure 20 It is a three-dimensional diagram of the server architecture of an embodiment of the present application.

[0131] This application also provides a server architecture, refer to Figure 20 As shown, it includes a chassis 200 and a plug-in mechanism 100 , and the plug-in mechanism 100 is disposed on the rear window of the chassis 200 .

[0132] According to the embodiments of this application, referring to Figure 20As shown, the central backplane 170 of the subrack mechanism 100 and the chassis 200 define a first installation cavity, while the central backplane 170 and the main frame of the subrack mechanism 100 define a second installation cavity. A liquid cooling unit is disposed within the first installation cavity, and at least part of the liquid cooling unit's pipelines pass through the main frame 110 of the subrack mechanism 100.

[0133] In some exemplary embodiments, referring to Figure 20 As shown, the plug-in mechanism 100 can be installed through the rear window of the chassis 200. When the plug-in mechanism 100 is installed in the chassis 200, the center backplane 170 (and the backplane bracket 171) provided on the plug-in mechanism 100 divides the interior of the server into two installation cavities (i.e., the first installation cavity and the second installation cavity mentioned above). The area including the front window is used to install various electronic components, specifically central processing unit nodes, image processing unit node holes, data exchange nodes, etc. At least a portion of the above-mentioned electronic components is configured to be electrically connected to the electrical connection portion provided on the center backplane 170. Furthermore, the above-mentioned electronic components can be arranged in layers in the server to meet the design requirements of 4U or 6U, so that the server has a larger expansion space. U is a standard rack height unit, and 1U is equal to 1.75 inches.

[0134] In some exemplary embodiments, in order to meet the heat dissipation requirements of high-energy-consuming electronic devices in the server, the server architecture is also equipped with a liquid cooling unit, which includes at least cooling elements, pipes, pumps and other components. In detail, the cooling element includes but is not limited to a cold plate, which is arranged in the first installation cavity and is tightly fitted with the high-energy-consuming electronic devices to achieve heat exchange; the pipe includes at least a water inlet pipe connected to the liquid inlet end of the cooling element and a water outlet pipe connected to the water outlet end of the cooling element, and the pump is connected to the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe respectively, so that the medium can circulate in the cooling element. In order to guide the medium at a higher temperature after heat exchange with the high-energy-consuming electronic devices to the outside of the server, a support plate 140 needs to be provided in the plug-in mechanism 100 to lead the water outlet pipe and / or water inlet pipe of the liquid cooling unit to the outside of the server to release heat.

[0135] In this embodiment, the plug-in mechanism 100 arranges at least two first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120 at different heights. The height difference between the first fan modules 121 in the higher and / or lower positions and the main frame 110 can be utilized to create space for coupling with the liquid cooling unit configured for the server. Since there is no need to horizontally avoid the piping provided by the liquid cooling unit, this effectively reduces blind spots within the server where air cooling is unavailable, thereby fully utilizing the space within the plug-in mechanism and the server chassis. This allows for greater flexibility in the placement of the first fan modules 121 in the first air-cooling unit 120.

[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.
