DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0036] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, this application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] Existing server component testing generally involves installing the tested component inside the server. However, the tested component is generally installed manually inside the server, which can lead to low installation efficiency and installation accuracy issues. Therefore, a new server plug-in device is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0038] The terms used in the following embodiments are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present application. As used in the specification and appended claims of this application, the singular expressions "a", "an", "said", "above", "the", and "this" are intended to also include expressions such as "one or more", unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0039] References to "one embodiment" or "some embodiments" in this specification mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in conjunction with that embodiment is included in one or more embodiments of the present application. Thus, phrases such as "in one embodiment," "in some embodiments," "in other embodiments," and "in yet other embodiments" appearing in various places in this specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, but rather mean "one or more but not all embodiments," unless otherwise specifically emphasized. The terms "including," "comprising," "having," and variations thereof mean "including but not limited to," unless otherwise specifically emphasized.

[0040] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a server testing system is provided for the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The server test system includes a host, a controller, a driver, a server plug-in device, a server, and a component under test. The server plug-in device is located outside the server, and the component under test is installed in the server plug-in device. The driver is electrically connected to the controller and the drive structure in the server plug-in device. The host sends test instructions to the controller, which controls the drive structure through the controller and driver. The component under test can be a computing board, management board, fan, power supply, hard drive, optical module, or optical fiber.

[0041] The server plug-in device can be installed outside the server, spaced apart from the server cabinet, and fixed to the outside of the server cabinet. Alternatively, the server plug-in device can be detachably mounted on the server cabinet. When the component under test is no longer needed for testing, the server plug-in device can be removed from the server cabinet. Furthermore, when the server plug-in device is installed on the server cabinet, it does not affect the server itself.

[0042] In the present application, the host may include an execution machine and a switch. The execution machine is electrically connected to the switch. The switch can be electrically connected to the driving structure in multiple server plug-in devices. The execution machine sends a detection instruction to the switch, and the switch sends the detection instruction to the driving structure.

[0043] In the above embodiment, when the component under test is a computing board, the computing board can be installed in a server plug-in device, which plugs the computing board into a server detection socket. When the components under test are a computing board and a hard drive, a server cabinet can be installed with two server plug-in devices or two fixing brackets, so that both the computing board and the hard drive can be detected by the server. When the component under test is another device, its installation method is the same as when the component under test is a computing board.

[0044] Figure 2A flow chart of a server testing method is provided for the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 When testing the component to be tested, the following steps can be taken:

[0045] S10: Fix the fixing bracket to the outside of the server;

[0046] S20: Installing the component to be tested on the connector; wherein, when different devices are selected according to the component to be tested, the connector in the server plug-in device can be replaced to be suitable for different components to be tested.

[0047] S30: Sending a test instruction to the controller, which sends the test instruction to the driver, which sends the test instruction to the drive structure, and the drive structure drives the connector to move in the second direction according to the test instruction, so as to connect or disconnect the component under test from the server. The step of sending the test instruction to the controller is performed by the host.

[0048] The following is a detailed introduction to the server plug-in device.

[0049] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the server plug-in device provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. Figures 4 to 8 This is another structural diagram of the server plug-in device provided in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 and Figures 4 to 8 The server plug-in device includes a fixing frame 10, a drive structure 20 and a connector 30. The drive structure 20 is arranged on the fixing frame 10, and the fixing frame 10 is located outside the cabinet 60 of the server. The drive structure 20 can move relative to the fixing frame 10 in a first direction. One end of the connector 30 is connected to the drive structure 20, and the other end of the connector 30 is used to connect to the detection component 50. The drive structure 20 is used to drive the connector 30 to move in a second direction so that the component to be tested 50 is plugged into or separated from the detection socket in the server. In this embodiment, the connector 30 can be connected to the component to be tested 50, and the drive structure 20 can drive the connector 30 to move back and forth in the second direction. When the component to be tested 50 is plugged into the detection socket in the server, the server can detect the component to be tested 50. When the server completes the detection of the component to be tested 50, the drive structure 20 can also drive the connector 30 to connect with the component to be tested 50 and separate the component to be tested 50 from the detection socket of the server. During this process, the connection and disconnection between the component under test 50 and the server's detection socket are all driven by the drive structure 20, realizing the automation of the connection and disconnection between the component under test 50 and the server's detection socket. Compared with manual connection and disconnection, this embodiment is more efficient and can also improve the connection and disconnection accuracy.

[0050] The server cabinet can be in various shapes such as cylindrical, rectangular or square.

[0051] In some embodiments, the server plug-in device further includes a positioning frame 40, which is connected to the fixing frame 10. The fixing frame 10 can move along a third direction relative to the positioning frame 40 to facilitate adjustment of the position of the drive structure 20 and the connector 30 mounted on the fixing frame 10, so that different components to be tested 50 can be matched with different test sockets in the server, thereby improving the efficiency of testing. The positioning frame 40 is detachably connected to the server cabinet 60 to facilitate connection between the server plug-in device and the server cabinet 60. Once all components to be tested 50 are complete, the server plug-in device can be easily disassembled from the server cabinet 60.

[0052] It is worth mentioning that when a server detects multiple components to be tested 50, there can also be multiple fixing frames 10, driving structures 20 and connectors 30. Multiple fixing frames 10 can be detachably connected to the positioning frame 40, and multiple fixing frames 10 are arranged at intervals along the third direction to facilitate the connection between the components to be tested 50 and the connectors 30 on each fixing frame 10.

[0053] The positioning frame 40 may include two positioning plates 41, and the two positioning plates 41 are respectively fixed to the cabinet 60 of the server. Specifically, the two positioning plates 41 can be arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the two positioning plates 41 can be respectively connected to the two side panels of the open end of the server. Among them, the positioning plate 41 includes a first sub-positioning plate 410 and a second sub-positioning plate 411, and the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 are connected to each other, the first sub-positioning plate 410 is connected to the open end of the cabinet 60, and the second sub-positioning plate 411 is connected to the fixed frame 10. The first sub-positioning plate 410 is detachably connected to the open end of the cabinet 60, and the second sub-positioning plate 411 is also detachably connected to the fixed frame 10.

[0054] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the positioning plate in the server plug-in device provided in the embodiment of the present application, with reference to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5It is worth mentioning that the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 are connected to each other, and an angle may exist between the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the second sub-positioning plate 411. Specifically, the angle between the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 can be, but is not limited to, 90°. The first sub-positioning plate 410 may include a plurality of first positioning slots 4100, which are spaced apart along a third direction and extend along the third direction. The connecting member passes through the first positioning slots 4100 and is detachably connected to the server cabinet 60, so that the first sub-positioning plate 410 is detachably connected to the cabinet 60. In order to improve the stability of the connection between the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the cabinet 60, the first sub-positioning plate 410 may include two, three, or four first positioning slots 4100, or the number of connecting members passing through the first positioning slots 4100 is multiple, so as to improve the reliability of the connection between the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the cabinet 60. The first positioning groove 4100 may be in the shape of a waist-shaped hole, a long strip, or a rectangle.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first sub-positioning plate 410 may also include a plurality of limiting holes (not shown), which may be spaced apart along the third direction. The connector passes through the limiting holes and is detachably connected to the server cabinet 60, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the cabinet 60. In this case, the limiting holes and the first positioning slots 4100 actually serve the same function.

[0056] The second sub-positioning plate 411 includes a plurality of second positioning slots 4110, which can be arranged in multiple columns, with two adjacent columns of second positioning slots spaced apart along the second direction. Each column of second positioning slots 4110 includes a plurality of second positioning slots 4110 spaced apart along the third direction. The second connector passes through the fixing frame 10 and connects to the second positioning slots 4110, thereby enabling a detachable connection between the fixing frame 10 and the second sub-positioning plate 411. When the fixing frame 10 needs to be moved relative to the positioning frame 40 along the third direction to adjust the relative position between the fixing frame 10 and the positioning frame 40, the fixing frame 10 can be moved so that the fixing frame 10 mates with a different second positioning slot 4110 among the plurality of second positioning slots 4110, or the fixing frame 10 can be moved so that the position of the fixing frame 10 within the same second positioning slot 4110 is changed, thereby adjusting the position of the drive structure 20 and the connector 30 disposed on the fixing frame 10 to ensure that the component under test 50 can mate with the corresponding detection socket in the server.

[0057] The second positioning grooves 4110 are arranged in multiple rows, which can increase the number of connectors between the fixing frame 10 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 , thereby improving the stability of the fixing frame 10 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 .

[0058] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 10 includes two first fixing plates 11 and a second fixing plate 12. The two first fixing plates 11 are connected to the positioning frame 40, and the two first fixing plates 11 can move along a third direction relative to the positioning frame 40. Specifically, the first fixing plate 11 includes a first sub-fixing plate 110 and a second sub-fixing plate 111 connected to each other. The second sub-fixing plate 111 includes at least one fixing hole. The second connecting member 80 passes through the fixing hole and the second positioning groove 4110 to detachably connect the second sub-fixing plate 111 to the second sub-positioning plate 411, that is, the fixing frame 10 is detachably connected to the positioning frame 40. The number of fixing holes can be the same as the number of columns of the second positioning groove 4110 to ensure the stability of the connection between the second sub-fixing plate 111 and the second sub-positioning plate 411.

[0059] There may be an angle between the first sub-fixing plate 110 and the second sub-fixing plate 111 . Specifically, the angle between the first sub-fixing plate 110 and the second sub-fixing plate 111 may be, but is not limited to, 90°.

[0060] The first sub-fixing plate 110 includes a first slot 1100 extending in the second direction. The first connector 70 passes through the second fixing plate 12 and the first slot 1100, slidably connecting the second fixing plate 12 to the first sub-fixing plate 110. Because the amount of expansion and contraction of the drive structure 20 in the second direction is within a certain range, when the connector 30 is connected to a different component under test, the position of the drive structure 20 in the second direction needs to be adjusted. In this case, the position of the first connector 70 relative to the first slot 1100 can be adjusted to adjust the position of the second fixing plate 12 relative to the first fixing plate 11 in the second direction, thereby adjusting the position of the drive structure 20 disposed on the second fixing plate 12.

[0061] In some embodiments, the second fixing plate 12 includes a second slot 120 extending along a first direction. The third connector 90 passes through the second slot 120 and the drive structure 20 to slidably connect the drive structure 20 to the second fixing plate 12. The drive structure 20 can slide along the first direction via the second slot 120 and the third connector 90 to move the connector 30 along the first direction, thereby adjusting the component under test 50 connected to the connector 30 so that the component under test 50 can be accurately aligned with the detection socket of the server.

[0062] In some embodiments, the drive structure 20 includes a linear motor 21 and a mounting base (not shown). The linear motor 21 is fixed to the mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a connecting hole corresponding to the second slide groove 120. The third connecting member 90 passes through the connecting hole and the second slide groove 120 to slidably connect the mounting base to the second fixing plate 12. The length of the mounting base along the second direction can be greater than the length of the second fixing plate 12 along the second direction.

[0063] In some embodiments, the second fixed plate 12 includes at least two slide rails, the at least two slide rails extending in a first direction and the at least two first slide rails being arranged in parallel. The driving structure 20 includes at least two slide grooves, the at least two slide grooves extending in the first direction, and the at least two slide grooves cooperating with the at least two slide rails to enable the driving structure to slide relative to the second fixed plate in the first direction. Specifically, the at least two slide grooves can be disposed on a side of the mounting base facing the second fixed plate.

[0064] The structures of the first connecting member 70 , the second connecting member 80 and the third connecting member 90 may be the same. Specifically, the first connecting member 70 , the second connecting member 80 and the third connecting member 90 may all be bolts and nuts.

[0065] In the above-mentioned embodiment, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction may be perpendicular to each other. Among them, the first direction may be the length direction of the second fixed plate 12, the second direction may be the width direction of the second fixed plate 12, and the third direction may be the height direction of the second fixed plate 12. In addition, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction may also be described with reference to the first sub-positioning plate 410 and the second sub-positioning plate 411 included in the positioning plate 41, and no specific limitation is made here. In the present application, the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. It should be noted that the verticality defined in the embodiment of the present application is not limited to a relationship in which the absolute intersection angle is 90 degrees. It is allowed that the relationship is not an absolute vertical intersection due to factors such as assembly tolerance, design tolerance, and the influence of structural flatness, and an error in a small angle range is allowed. For example, 80 degrees to 100 degrees can be understood as a vertical relationship within the range of assembly error.

[0066] In some embodiments, the server plug-in device may also include a first drive motor and a second drive motor, and when the server plug-in device includes the first drive motor, the fixing frame 10 and the positioning frame 40 can be connected through a slide groove and a slide rail, and the output end of the first drive motor can be connected to the fixing frame 10. The first drive motor is used to drive the fixing frame 10 to slide relative to the positioning frame 40 to adjust the position of the fixing frame 10 relative to the positioning frame 40, thereby adjusting the position of the driving structure 20.

[0067] When the server plug-in device includes a second drive motor, the first fixed plate 11 and the second fixed plate 12 included in the fixed frame 10 can also be connected by a slide groove and a slide rail. The second drive motor drives the second fixed plate 12 to move relative to the first fixed plate 11 along the second direction to adjust the position of the drive structure 20 set on the second fixed plate 12 in the second direction.

One side of the first connecting plate 32 is used for fixed connection with the component to be tested, and the other side of the first connecting plate 32 is connected to the connecting rod 31. A plurality of connecting holes are provided on the first connecting plate 32. The connecting member passes through the first connecting plate 32 and is detachably fixedly connected to the component to be tested 50. A detachable fixed connecting hole for the driving structure is provided on the connecting rod 31. The connecting member passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the driving structure.
