[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, any other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0040] It should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "transverse", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present application. The terms "mount", "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixed connection, or detachable connection, or integral connection; it can be mechanical connection, or electrical connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through intermediate medium, or the communication between two elements. The terms "parallel", "perpendicular", "equal" include the described case and the approximate case of the described case, and the approximate case is within the acceptable deviation range, wherein the acceptable deviation range is determined by the person skilled in the art considering the measurement being discussed and the error related to the measurement of the specific quantity (i.e. the limitation of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes absolute parallel and approximate parallel, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate parallel can be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes absolute perpendicular and approximate perpendicular, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate perpendicular can also be, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes absolute equality and approximate equality, wherein the acceptable deviation range of approximate equality can be, for example, that the difference between the two equalities is less than or equal to 5% of either. For the person skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the present application can be understood in specific cases.
[0041] Modern servers usually include a server case, a board card arranged in the server case, and a plurality of functional modules arranged in the server case, different functional modules play different roles. As a typical server structure, the board card usually includes a mainboard and a fan board, the mainboard and the fan board can be arranged at the bottom of the server, wherein the mainboard can be provided with a connector, and heat generating devices such as central processing units and memory bars can be connected to the mainboard through the connector, and the fan board is also provided with a connector, and a fan module can be connected to the fan board through the connector. The functional module usually includes a front module and a rear module, which are respectively located at different positions in the server.
[0042] The fan module is arranged at one end of the server box, for example, the front-end module, the mainboard (including the central processing unit, the memory bar, etc.), the rear-end module and the fan plate (including the fan module) are arranged in the server box in sequence, and the mainboard and the fan plate are arranged in the server box in a spaced manner.
[0043] The mainboard is a heat concentration area in the server because the central processing unit, the memory bar and other heat generating devices are arranged on the mainboard. In the related art, in order to achieve heat dissipation of the mainboard, a wind guide cover is usually arranged on the mainboard. The wind guide cover can adjust the direction, path and size of the air flow, reduce the loss of the air flow, so that the cold air formed by the fan module can act on the mainboard, thereby completing heat dissipation.
[0044] In the related art, the fan module usually needs to be installed in a fan frame. Because the mainboard and the fan plate are arranged in the server box in a spaced manner, the fan frame and the wind guide cover are also arranged in the server in a spaced manner. The fan frame and the wind guide cover are in a clearance fit relationship, so that the air flow is easy to flow away from the gap between the fan frame and the wind guide cover, thereby affecting the heat dissipation effect.
[0045] Based on the above status and problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a server. The server changes the arrangement relationship of the structures in the server, so that the mainboard is adjacent to the fan plate, thereby providing a basis for the integrated arrangement of the wind guide cover and the fan frame. After the wind guide cover and the fan frame are integrally formed, a wind guide mounting cover can be formed. The fan module can be installed on the wind guide mounting cover. The wind guide mounting cover also plays a role in adjusting the direction, path and size of the air flow. The air flow formed by the fan module can quickly flow to the mainboard through the wind guide mounting cover, and there is no loss of the air flow in the process of flowing to the mainboard. The utilization rate of the air flow is improved, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the mainboard.
[0046] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

Since the air guide mounting cover 70 is an integrated structure, on one hand, the fan module 50 mounted on the air guide mounting cover 70 can form air flow, and on the other hand, the air flow can be transmitted to the mainboard 30 and the front module 20 and other structures along the air guide mounting cover 70. The transmission path of the air flow is shortened, the air flow can quickly reach the position of the mainboard 30 and other structures, and there is no loss of the air flow in the process of flowing to the mainboard 30. The utilization rate of the air flow is improved, thereby the heat dissipation effect of the mainboard 30 can be improved.

The first connecting part 211 and the third connecting part 12 can be connected to mount the air guide mounting cover 70 into the server box 10. As can be known from the following embodiments, since the first connecting part 211 is arranged on the installation structure 200, in order to improve the connection stability of the air guide mounting cover 70, the following embodiments will describe a bayonet 121 on the air guide structure 100. The bayonet 121 can form another connection structure with the server box 10. Thus, the air guide mounting cover 70 is stably mounted in the server box 10 through the joint action of the bayonet 121 and the first connecting part 211.

[0094] It should be noted that the number of mounting cavities 210 can be set according to actual needs. For example, in the example shown in the figure, the mounting structure 200 is formed with four mounting cavities 210. In addition, the specific structure of the mounting cavity 210 can be set according to the fan module 50. For example, the fan module 50 in the foregoing embodiment is substantially a cuboid structure, and correspondingly, the mounting cavity 210 can also be a cuboid structure. Figures 1 to 3 It should be noted that the size of the mounting cavity 210 can be greater than the outer dimensions of the fan module 50, so that a plurality of fan modules 50 can be installed in one mounting cavity 210. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, for the sake of simplifying the description and understanding, one fan module 50 can be arranged in one mounting cavity 210.

[0096] In the embodiment of the present application, the air guide installation cover 70 integrates the air guide cover and the fan frame used for installing the fan module 50, which are originally arranged separately and used for performing the air guide function, into an integrated structure, wherein the air guide structure 100 in the integrated structure functions as the air guide cover, the installation structure 200 in the integrated structure functions as the fan frame, and the air guide structure 100 and the installation structure 200 are tightly connected into one body without a fitting gap therebetween, so that the air flow formed by the fan module 50 can quickly flow to the mainboard 30 through the air guide installation cover 70, and there is no loss of the air flow in the process of flowing to the mainboard 30, the utilization rate of the air flow is improved, thereby the heat dissipation effect on the mainboard 30 can be improved. On the other hand, because the air guide installation cover 70 is an integrated structure, the production process can be simplified and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The installation structure 200 includes an installation base plate 220 and a plurality of spacing plates 230 arranged on the installation base plate 220, and two adjacent spacing plates 230 and the installation base plate 220 located between the two adjacent spacing plates 230 form an installation cavity 210.
[0098] The installation base plate 220 is used to form a connection with the air guide structure 100, and the plurality of spacing plates 230 are arranged on the installation base plate 220 and used to form the installation cavity 210, and the fan module 50 in the foregoing embodiment can be installed in the installation cavity 210.
[0099] The number of the spacing plates 230 and the installation cavities 210 is not limited in the embodiment of the present application, for example, in the example shown in Figure 3 , the number of the spacing plates 230 is five, and the number of the installation cavities 210 is four, in other words, when a one-to-one installation mode is adopted, that is, only one fan module 50 is installed in one installation cavity 210, a total of four fan modules 50 can be installed on the air guide installation cover 70.
[0100] In combination with Figure 1 and Figure 2 , it can be understood that the five spacing plates 230 are arranged at intervals along the Y direction, in order to achieve sufficient heat dissipation for the mainboard 30 and the front-end module 20, two end plates 230a can be included in the spacing plates 230, and the two end plates 230a can be arranged close to the inner wall of the server box or can be attached to the inside of the server box 10, so that the fan module 50 can form an air flow in the entire width direction of the server box 10, and the air flow is transmitted to the mainboard 30 and the front-end module 20 along the length direction, achieving the purpose of improving the heat dissipation effect on the basis of fully utilizing the width space of the server box 10.
[0101] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 andFigure 5 The mounting substrate 220 comprises a side plate 221, and the ventilation structure 240 is formed on the side plate 221.
[0102] The side plate 221 is connected to one side of the air guide structure 100, in combination with the description of the air guide structure 100 in the foregoing embodiments, the side plate 221 can be connected to one side of the air guide structure 100 in the length direction, specifically, the side plate 221 can be connected to the side of the air guide structure 100 away from the main plate 30, and the side plate 221 extends in the width direction. Figure 1 Figure 2 The side plate 221 can be connected to one side of the air guide structure 100 in the length direction, specifically, the side plate 221 can be connected to the side of the air guide structure 100 away from the main plate 30, and the side plate 221 extends in the width direction.
[0103] In some specific embodiments, the side plate 221 can be arranged vertically, that is, the side plate 221 can be located in the plane formed by the Z axis and the Y axis, so that the spacing plate 230 arranged on the side plate 221 can be closer to the air guide cover, so that the fan module 50 can be closer to the air guide structure 100, so that the air flow can enter the position of the main plate 30 more quickly.
[0104] In the above embodiments, it should be understood that, since the fan module 50 needs to be connected to the fan plate 40, the side plate 221 and the spacing plate 230 can be made of insulating plastic material, which can protect the fan module 50 and the like.
[0105] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 The ventilation structure 240 comprises a plurality of concentrically arranged ventilation rings 241 and a plurality of connecting bridges 242 for connecting the ventilation rings 241.
[0106] The plurality of concentrically arranged ventilation rings 241 can form an annular gap structure from inside to outside or from outside to inside, which can facilitate the air flow through the ventilation structure 240 on the basis of ensuring the structural strength.
[0107] The number of ventilation rings 241 is not limited, for example, in the example shown in Figure 5 The number of ventilation rings 241 is three, the diameter of the innermost ventilation ring 241 is the smallest, and the diameter of the outermost ventilation ring 241 is the largest.
[0108] In order to further improve the structural strength of the ventilation structure 240 and to disperse the air flow, so that the air flow can flow uniformly to the main plate 30, the connecting bridges 242 are connected between the ventilation rings 241, the connecting bridges 242 can connect the ventilation rings 241 into one body, and the connecting bridges 242 can divide the above-mentioned gap structure, thereby forming a more dense gap structure, so as to realize the uniformization of the air flow.
[0109] In some embodiments, each ventilation ring 241 can have a certain thickness, i.e., the ventilation ring 241 can extend along the X direction by a certain length, wherein the outer diameter of the side of the ventilation ring 241 away from the main plate 30 is larger than the outer diameter of the side of the ventilation ring 241 close to the main plate 30. For ease of description, the former is defined as the air inlet side of the ventilation ring 241, and the latter is defined as the air outlet side of the ventilation ring 241. The inner diameter of the air inlet side is larger than the inner diameter of the air outlet side. This structure makes it easier for air flow to enter the ventilation ring 241, and based on the arrangement of the ventilation ring 241 having a certain thickness, the air flow can be accelerated to enter the position of the main plate 30.
[0110] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 5 , the connecting bridges 242 are arc-shaped, and the plurality of connecting bridges 242 are radially distributed.
[0111] One end of each of the plurality of connecting bridges 242 is connected to the innermost ventilation ring 241, and the other end of each of the plurality of connecting bridges 242 is connected to the outermost ventilation ring 241, and the plurality of connecting bridges 242 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the ventilation ring 241, thereby forming the above-mentioned radial distribution.
[0112] Arranging the connecting bridges 242 to be arc-shaped and radially distributing the plurality of connecting bridges 242 can make it easier for air flow to form a vortex at the ventilation structure 240, thereby improving the strength of the air flow.
[0113] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting bridges 242 can also have other structures, for example, the connecting bridges 242 can extend along the diameter direction of the ventilation ring 241. In addition, the connecting bridges 242 can be arranged in a staggered manner.
[0114] In some embodiments, in combination with the foregoing, referring to Figures 3 to 6 , the first connecting part 211 is arranged on the spacer plate 230 and is used to form a connection with the third connecting part 12. The first connecting part 211 can be located in the mounting cavity 210. There are at least two first connecting parts 211 arranged in each mounting cavity 210 in a diagonal manner.
[0115] Referring to Figure 5 , the first connecting part 211 is located at the bottom of the spacer plate 230 and extends from the spacer plate 230 towards the inside of the mounting cavity 210. Specifically, for a pair of adjacent spacer plates 230, in order to form the above-mentioned diagonal distribution relationship, at least one first connecting part 211 can be arranged on each spacer plate 230. The first connecting part 211 arranged on one spacer plate 230 can extend towards the other spacer plate 230, and the two first connecting parts 211 are arranged at intervals along the X direction.
[0116] As described above, the first connecting portion 211 is used to mount the mounting structure 200 on the server case 10 or the fan plate 40. For each mounting cavity 210, there are at least two first connecting portions 211 arranged diagonally, thereby improving the mounting reliability of the mounting cavity 210. For a plurality of mounting cavities 210, the combination of a plurality of first connecting portions 211 improves the overall connection stability of the mounting structure 200.
[0117] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the spacer plate 230 is provided with a second connecting portion 212, which can be located in the mounting cavity 210. The second connecting portion 212 is used to form a connection with the fourth connecting portion 51 on the fan module 50.
[0118] For an adjacent pair of spacer plates 230, at least one second connecting portion 212 can be provided on each spacer plate 230, so that the fan module 50 can be stably connected to the pair of spacer plates 230.
[0119] It can be understood that for the overall mounting structure 200, in order to prevent interference between adjacent fan modules 50 during installation, the positions of the second connecting portions 212 provided on different spacer plates 230 can be different. For example, the second connecting portions 212 can be arranged alternately.
[0120] The specific structure and cooperation mode of the first connecting portion 211 and the third connecting portion 12 and the specific structure and cooperation mode of the second connecting portion 212 and the fourth connecting portion 51 can refer to the foregoing embodiments, which will not be described again.
[0121] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 , the air guide structure 100 includes a top wall 110 and a side wall 120. The top wall 110 is located above the mainboard 30, and the side wall 120 is connected to both sides of the top wall 110.
[0122] In order to fully utilize the width space of the server case 10, the side wall 120 can be attached to the inner wall of the server case 10, and the side wall 120 can be arranged vertically with the top wall 110.
[0123] For the air guide structure 100 described above, it can cover the area where the mainboard 30 is located. The airflow can be relatively concentrated under the enclosure of the top wall 110 and the side wall 120 to act on the mainboard 30, thereby avoiding airflow loss and improving the heat dissipation effect of the mainboard 30.
[0124] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3The top wall 110 is provided with a plurality of air guide grooves 111 in parallel and at intervals. The air guide grooves 111 are recessed on the top wall 110. The air guide grooves 111 include first air guide walls 111a and second air guide walls arranged oppositely. The first air guide walls 111a are close to the mounting structure 200. The first air guide walls 111a are provided with first air guide openings 111a1. The second air guide walls are away from the mounting structure 200. The second air guide walls are provided with second air guide openings.
[0125] The air guide grooves 111 can change the specific structure of the top wall 110. For example, when the top wall 110 adopts a flat plate structure, the air guide grooves 111 can form a concave structure on the top wall 110. The concave structure can disturb the air flow, so that the air flow can uniformly act on the mainboard 30 located below the top wall 110.
[0126] It can be understood that most of the air flow can flow along the surface of the top wall 110 facing the mainboard 30. When the air flow passes through the concave structure formed by the air guide grooves 111, the air flow can be divided into multiple air flows, and the multiple air flows can interact with each other, thereby enhancing the disturbance of the air flow and improving the strength of the air flow.
[0127] The first air guide walls 111a and the second air guide walls are arranged oppositely and are located in the path of the air flow. The air flow can pass through the first air guide openings 111a1 and the second air guide openings in sequence. Part of the air flow also flows through the first air guide openings 111a1 and the second air guide openings in the path of the air flow, which can further improve the disturbance effect of the air flow.
[0128] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first air guide walls 111a are inclined. Specifically, the first air guide walls 111a can be inclined away from the mounting structure 200 from top to bottom. Thus, the space between the air guide grooves 111 and the fan module 50 can be increased, which is conducive to the accumulation of air flow in the space. Thus, the air flow can be fully excited by the air guide grooves 111 in the subsequent flow process, thereby improving the strength of the air flow and the heat dissipation effect of the air flow on the mainboard 30.
[0129] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The top wall 110 is provided with a plurality of elastic protrusions 112.
[0130] The number and arrangement of the elastic protrusions 112 are not limited, and in some embodiments, the elastic protrusions 112 can be evenly distributed on the top wall 110. The elastic protrusions 112 can be bump structures on the top wall 110, which function to form elastic abutment between the top wall 110 and a cover (not shown in the figure) of the server case 10, so as to limit the position of the air guide structure 100. The elastic abutment can neither excessively limit the air guide structure 100 due to excessive friction, nor fail to limit the freedom of the air guide structure 100 due to insufficient limitation.
[0131] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 The side wall 120 is provided with a clamping opening 121, which is used to cooperate with a clamping member 13 in the server case 10.
[0132] Specifically, the clamping opening 121 is an opening structure with an opening facing the bottom of the server case 10. When the air guide structure 70 is installed, the clamping opening 121 can be clamped to the clamping member 13 on the side wall 120 of the server case 10. The cooperation between the clamping opening 121 and the clamping member 13, in combination with the cooperation between the first connecting portion 211 and the third connecting portion 12, can enable the air guide structure 70 to be stably connected to the server case 10.

Specific examples are applied in this paper to describe the principle and implementation mode of the application. The above embodiment is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled person in the art, without departing from the principle of the application, the application can be improved and modified in several ways. These improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the application.
