[0042] The above drawings illustrate specific embodiments of the present application, which will be described in more detail below. These drawings and the textual description are not intended to limit the scope of the present application in any way, but rather to illustrate the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art by reference to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] The terms "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc. (if any) in the description and claims of the present invention and in the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a particular order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present invention described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having," as well as any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] As mentioned in the background technology, in the related art, the liquid-cooled board has a gold finger and a liquid-cooling connector. During installation, the liquid-cooled board is plugged into the connector of the server's mainboard via the gold finger to achieve an electrical connection between the liquid-cooled board and the mainboard. The liquid-cooled board is plugged into the connector of the diverter via the liquid-cooling connector to allow the cooling medium in the diverter to enter the liquid-cooling flow channel. Then, the liquid-cooled board is fixed to the server using fasteners such as bolts. The connector has a spring structure that continuously applies an axial elastic force to compress the sealing ring between the liquid-cooling connector and the connector, ensuring the sealing of the connection between the liquid-cooling connector and the connector.

[0046] However, during the plugging and unplugging process of the liquid-cooled board, the liquid-cooled connector will be subjected to the force of the spring structure inside the connector, and one end of the liquid-cooled board will be lifted up, which may easily damage the gold finger and the connector of the motherboard.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the prior art, the gold finger 301 and liquid cooling connector 302 of the liquid-cooled card 10 are both located at the bottom of the liquid-cooled card 10, and the liquid cooling connector 302 is located at the end of the bottom of the liquid-cooled card 10. When installing the liquid-cooled card 10, it is necessary to keep the liquid-cooled card 10 flush in the horizontal direction and then insert it vertically downward into the server so that the gold finger 301 plugs into the server's mainboard 202 and the liquid cooling connector 302 plugs into the connector 401 of the diverter 40. Finally, the card 10 is fixed to the server's chassis 201 using fasteners such as bolts.

[0048] When inserting a card 10, the elastic force of the spring structure within the connector 401 acts on the liquid cooling connector 302, causing one end of the card 10 to tilt, making it difficult to ensure that the front and rear ends of the card 10 are inserted horizontally at the same time. When removing the card 10 and disconnecting it from the server chassis 201, the elastic force of the spring structure within the connector 401 acts on the liquid cooling connector 302, causing one end of the card 10 to tilt.

[0049] In response to the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a board balancing mechanism and a server. The board balancing mechanism includes a main body, a sliding member and an elastic member. The main body is used to be arranged on the server, and the main body and the diverter on the server are located on opposite sides of the server. The main body has a guide slot, and the extension direction of the guide slot is used to be the same as the plug-in and pull-out direction of the board. The sliding member is slidably arranged in the guide slot, and the elastic member is arranged in the guide slot and connected to the sliding member. A guide slot is provided in the main body, and the guide slot can guide and limit the guide part of the board to guide the board for plugging. After the guide part of the board abuts the sliding member in the guide slot, the sliding member will continue to provide a force in the opposite direction under the action of the elastic member, so as to balance the elastic force of the spring structure in the connector, avoid the board from tilting and tilting, and thus avoid damage to the gold finger of the board and the connector of the motherboard.

[0050] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a main body 100 , a sliding member 200 and an elastic member 300 .

[0052] The main body 100 is mounted on a server, and is located on opposite sides of the server's flow divider 40. The main body 100 has a guide slot 110 extending in the same direction as the insertion and removal direction of the board 30. At least a portion of the sliding member 200 slides within the guide slot 110. The elastic member 300 is disposed within the guide slot 110 and is connected to the sliding member 200.

[0053] The sliding member 200 is configured to press against the guide portion 303 of the board 30 under the action of the elastic member 300 when the guide portion 303 of the board 30 enters the guide slot 110 .

[0054] It is understood that the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application can be used to assist the board 30 in docking with the motherboard 202 and the diverter 40 on the server. The board 30 has a gold finger 301 and a liquid cooling connector 302. The board 30 is electrically connected to the connector 203 of the motherboard 202 via the gold finger 301. The liquid cooling channel within the board 30 is connected to the diverter 40 via the liquid cooling connector 302, so that cooling medium is transported to the liquid cooling channel through the diverter 40, thereby dissipating heat and cooling the board 30. For example, the board 30 can be a liquid-cooled PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) board 30.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the board balancing mechanism 10 is arranged on the chassis 201 of the server, and the board balancing mechanism 10 and the diverter 40 are respectively arranged on two opposite inner walls of the chassis 201. The board 30 has a guide portion 303, and the guide portion 303 and the liquid cooling connector 302 are respectively located at opposite ends of the same side of the board 30, and the guide portion 303 and the liquid cooling connector 302 are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when inserting a board 30, first ensure that the board 30 remains flush in the second direction, and then insert the board 30 into the server along a first direction that intersects the second direction. The guide slots 110 of the main body 100 extend parallel to the first direction. Thus, when the guide portion 303 of the board 30 extends into the guide slots 110, the guide slots 110 guide and limit the guide portion 303 of the board 30, ensuring that the board 30 maintains movement in the first direction and preventing the board 30 from tilting in the second direction.

[0057] When the liquid-cooling connector 302 of the board 30 contacts the spring structure within the connector 401 of the separator, the guide portion 303 abuts the sliding member 200 along the guide slot 110. As the board 30 is continuously inserted, the sliding member 200, under the action of the elastic member 300, will continue to provide a force in the opposite direction. This can balance the elastic force of the spring structure within the connector 401, preventing the board 30 from tilting in the second direction, thereby protecting the gold finger 301 of the board 30 and the connector 203 of the motherboard 202. Finally, after the gold finger 301 of the board 30 is fully connected to the connector 203 of the motherboard 202, and the liquid-cooling connector 302 of the board 30 is fully connected to the connector 401 of the separator, the board 30 can be fixed to the chassis 201 of the server using fasteners such as bolts.

[0058] When the board 30 needs to be removed, after unlocking the fasteners between the board 30 and the chassis 201, the elastic member 300 of the board balancing mechanism 10 applies a force to the board 30, which can balance the force applied to the board 30 by the spring structure in the connector 401, so that the board 30 remains flush in the second direction and pops out in the first direction. In this way, after the board 30 is popped out, it is convenient for the staff to remove the board 30 from the chassis 201 of the server.

[0059] To facilitate understanding of directions, an XYZ spatial coordinate system is established in the relevant drawings of the specification, wherein the direction of the X-axis is the first direction referred to in the embodiments of the present application, the direction of the Y-axis is the second direction referred to in the embodiments of the present application, and the direction of the Z-axis is the third direction referred to in the embodiments of the present application. The extension direction of the guide slot 110 and the insertion and removal direction of the board 30 are both the first direction.

[0060] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction may be a vertical direction, and the second direction may be a horizontal direction.

[0061] In summary, the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in the embodiment of the present application has a guide slot 110 disposed within the main body 100. The guide slot 110 can guide and limit the guide portion 303 of the board 30 to guide the board 30 during insertion. After the guide portion 303 of the board 30 abuts the sliding member 200 within the guide slot 110, the sliding member 200, under the action of the elastic member 300, continuously applies a force in the opposite direction. This balances the elastic force of the spring structure within the connector 401, preventing the board 30 from tilting or tilting, thereby preventing damage to the gold finger 301 of the board 30 and the connector 203 of the motherboard 202.

[0062] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the sliding member 200 has a first limiting portion 210, and a limiting groove 120 is provided on the main body 100. The limiting groove 120 is connected to the guide groove 110, and the extension direction of the limiting groove 120 is the same as the extension direction of the guide groove 110.

[0063] The first limiting portion 210 is configured to be slidably disposed in the limiting sliding groove 120 to limit the sliding member 200 in the guiding sliding groove 110 .

[0064] In the above embodiment, the first limiting portion 210 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 120, and the first limiting portion 210 cooperates with the limiting groove 120 to limit the sliding member 200 in the guide groove 110, thereby preventing the sliding member 200 from being subjected to the force of the elastic member 300 and popping out of the guide groove 110 along the first direction.

[0065] The extending direction of the limiting sliding groove 120 is the same as the extending direction of the guiding sliding groove 110 , and both are in the first direction, so as to ensure that the sliding member 200 moves along the first direction.

[0066] Reference Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide slide groove 110 includes a first slide groove portion 111 and a second slide groove portion 112 , the second slide groove portion 112 is disposed in the first slide groove portion 111 , and the limiting slide groove 120 is connected to the second slide groove portion 112 .

[0067] The first sliding groove portion 111 is used to guide the guide portion 303 of the board 30 to enter, the sliding member 200 is slidably disposed in the second sliding groove portion 112 , and the elastic member 300 is disposed between the second sliding groove portion 112 and the limiting sliding groove 120 .

[0068] In the above embodiment, when the board 30 is plugged in, the guide portion 303 of the board 30 can enter the first slide groove portion 111, and the first slide groove portion 111 can guide and limit the guide portion 303, so that the board 30 and the guide portion 303 of the board 30 can maintain the first direction for plugging.

[0069] The second slide groove is arranged in the first slide groove, and the sliding member 200 is slidably arranged in the second slide groove. The sliding member 200 is adapted to the second slide groove, and the movement direction of the sliding member 200 is constrained by the second slide groove so that the sliding member 200 always keeps moving in the first direction, avoiding the sliding member 200 from being offset when it is subjected to the force of the elastic member 300 and the guide part 303 of the board 30.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first chute portion 111, the second chute portion 112, and the limiting chute 120 all extend along the first direction. The first chute portion 111, the second chute portion 112, and the limiting chute 120 are sequentially arranged along the second direction and are sequentially connected. The first limiting portion 210 extends along the second direction. This ensures that the slider 200 slides in the second chute and the first limiting portion 210 slides in the limiting chute 120. After the guide portion 303 of the board 30 enters the first chute portion 111, it can abut against the slider 200.

[0071] The elastic member 300 is disposed between the second sliding groove portion 112 and the limiting sliding groove 120 to ensure a larger space for installing the elastic member 300 .

[0072] Preferably, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a second limiting portion 113 is provided in the first sliding groove portion 111 , and the second limiting portion 113 is used to abut against the guide portion 303 of the board 30 .

[0074] In the above embodiment, when the gold finger 301 of the board 30 is plugged into the connector 203 of the mainboard 202, and the liquid cooling connector 302 of the board 30 is docked with the connector 401 of the diverter 40, the second limiting portion 113 can abut against the guide portion 303 of the board 30 to limit the guide portion 303 from continuing to move in the first direction, thereby preventing the board 30 and the guide portion 303 of the board 30 from continuing to move in the first direction, causing damage.

[0075] Among them, reference Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting portion 113 has an avoidance gap, which corresponds to the second sliding groove portion 112 to avoid the second sliding groove portion 112 and the second limiting portion 113 affecting the movement of the sliding member 200 in the second sliding groove portion 112.

[0076] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the first sliding groove portion 111 away from the elastic member 300 has at least one chamfered portion 114 .

[0077] In the above embodiment, the chamfered portion 114 provided at the end of the first slide groove portion 111 can guide the guide portion 303 of the board 30 into the first slide groove portion 111, so that the guide portion 303 of the board 30 can transition more smoothly and smoothly when entering the first slide groove portion 111, reducing direct collision and avoiding severe friction or jamming between the guide portion 303 of the board 30 and the end of the first slide groove portion 111.

[0078] It is understandable that there is at least one chamfered portion 114 , and the number of chamfered portions 114 can be one, or two or more, and the embodiment of the present application does not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0079] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the number of chamfered portions 114 is four.

[0080] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a first connecting portion 130 is provided in the guide groove 110, a second connecting portion 220 is provided on the sliding member 200, and both ends of the elastic member 300 are respectively connected to the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 220.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the elastic member 300 is connected by the first connecting portion 130 in the guide groove 110 and the second connecting portion 220 on the sliding member 200 to limit the elastic member 300 in the guide groove 110, thereby preventing the elastic member 300 from popping out of the guide groove 110 when deformed by force.

[0082] For example, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the elastic member 300 can be a spring, the first connecting portion 130 and the second connecting portion 220 are both cylindrical structures, and the two ends of the spring are respectively sleeved on the outside of the first connecting portion 130 and the outside of the second connecting portion 220.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting portion 130 is disposed between the second sliding groove portion 112 and the limiting sliding groove 120 .

[0084] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, an avoidance groove 230 is provided on a side of the sliding member 200 facing the first connecting portion 130 , and the second connecting portion 220 is located in the avoidance groove 230 .

[0085] In the above embodiment, the second connecting portion 220 is disposed in the avoiding groove 230 to avoid occupying the space of the second sliding groove portion 112 , thereby making the overall structure more compact.

[0086] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a blocking portion 140 is provided on the main body 100 , and the blocking portion 140 covers at least a portion of the guide slot 110 to limit the sliding member 200 within the guide slot 110 .

[0087] In the above embodiment, the blocking portion 140 is provided to cover the guide slot 110 so as to limit the sliding member 200 in the guide slot 110 and prevent the sliding member 200 from falling out of the guide slot 110 along the second direction during movement.

[0088] It is understood that the enclosure 140 covers at least a portion of the guide chute 110. The enclosure 140 may cover a portion of the guide chute 110, for example, referring to Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the retaining portion 140 is located in the middle area of ​​the guide slot 110, which not only limits the sliding member 200 but also reduces manufacturing costs. The retaining portion 140 can also cover the entire guide slot 110 to further improve the stability of the sliding member 200.

[0089] The enclosure portion 140 can be detachably connected to the main body 100 by fasteners such as bolts and snaps, so as to facilitate the installation of the elastic member 300 and the sliding member 200 in the guide groove 110 .

[0090] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, at least one mounting portion 150 is provided on the main body 100, and the mounting portion 150 is used for detachable connection with the server.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the main body 100 can be installed and fixed in the chassis 201 of the server through the installation portion 150 .

[0092] Exemplarily, the mounting portion 150 can be detachably connected to the chassis 201 of the server through a bolt structure, a snap-fit ​​structure, or the like.

[0097] In the above structural setting, since the server adopts the board card balancing mechanism 10 in the above embodiment, it also has the advantages and benefits brought by the above board card balancing mechanism 10, which will not be further described here.

[0098] Among them, reference Figure 2As shown, the server body 20 includes a chassis 201 and a mainboard 202 . The mainboard 202 , the board 30 , the diverter 40 and the board balancing mechanism 10 are all arranged inside the chassis 201 . A connector 203 is provided on the mainboard 202 .

[0099] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, a plurality of connectors 203 are provided on the mainboard 202, and a plurality of connectors 401 are provided on the diverter 40. The plurality of connectors 203 and the plurality of connectors 401 are arranged at intervals along the third direction. This facilitates the insertion of a plurality of boards 30 at intervals along the third direction.

[0100] There are multiple board balancing mechanisms 10 , which are spaced apart along the third direction. The board balancing mechanisms 10 , connectors 203 , and connectors 401 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence along the second direction.

[0101] Preferably, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0102] After each board 30 is plugged in, it must be secured to the chassis 201 using bolts or other fasteners. When a board 30 needs to be removed for maintenance, the fasteners between the board 30 and the chassis 201 can be unlocked. The board 30 then pops out under the combined action of the elastic member 300 of the board balancing mechanism 10 and the spring structure within the connector 401, facilitating removal of the board 30 from the chassis 201. This avoids the problem of difficulty in removal caused by a large number of boards 30 and limited removal space.
