Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server technology, specifically to server racks and rack-mount servers. Background Technology

[0002] Servers are an important component of electronic devices, providing computing services. Because servers need to respond to and process service requests, they possess the capability to undertake and ensure service availability. Based on the type of service provided, servers are categorized as file servers, database servers, application servers, web servers, etc.

[0003] In the era of big data, a large number of IT devices are centrally located in data center racks. These data centers contain various types of servers, storage, switches, and numerous racks and other infrastructure. Each type of IT device consists of various hardware boards, such as computing modules, storage modules, chassis, fan modules, and so on. A rack-mount server is a comprehensive product that integrates racks, server nodes, power supply equipment, signal interaction equipment, connecting cables, and other components into a single unit.

[0004] Currently, data centers use two rack standards: the universal 19-inch EIA standard and rack-mount server standards developed by organizations such as OCP and ODCC. Each standard has its advantages and disadvantages. The EIA standard is highly universal, being followed by all manufacturers in designing rack servers and currently the most mainstream standard in the industry. Its disadvantages are lower density and slower deployment. The rack-mount server standard offers high density and fast deployment, but its disadvantages include poor universality; only manufacturer-customized nodes can be deployed within the rack.

[0005] The server racks in the related technologies cannot be compatible with both standard server nodes and rack-mount server nodes at the same time, and cannot be installed in any location, resulting in poor versatility. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a server rack and a rack-mount server to solve the problem of poor versatility of server racks in related technologies.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a server rack, comprising:

[0008] The cabinet has multiple mounting positions for installing server nodes. Each mounting position has a mounting port. On the side of the cabinet away from the mounting port, there are liquid cooling buses for liquid outlet and liquid cooling buses for liquid return. The liquid cooling buses for liquid outlet and liquid cooling buses are distributed on at least one side of the server node installation direction. Each liquid cooling bus for liquid outlet has multiple liquid cooling bus blind connectors corresponding to each mounting position. Each liquid cooling bus for liquid return has multiple liquid cooling bus blind connectors corresponding to each mounting position.

[0009] An adapter assembly is detachably installed on the side of the cabinet away from the mounting port. The adapter assembly is used to connect the liquid outlet bus blind connector to the coolant inlet blind connector on the server node, and to connect the liquid return bus blind connector to the coolant outlet blind connector on the server node.

[0010] Beneficial effects: The cabinet has multiple mounting positions for server nodes, allowing for the placement of multiple server nodes. By providing liquid cooling outlet and return buses on the side of the cabinet away from the mounting ports, and distributing these buses on at least one side of the server node installation direction, it is clear that once a server node is installed, the liquid cooling outlet and return buses are not located directly behind the server node. Therefore, the liquid cooling outlet and return buses will not interfere with the installation of standard servers. When installing a rack-mounted server node in a specific mounting position, the adapter assembly is installed onto the rack. Once installed, the adapter assembly aligns with the mounting port of the mounting position. The adapter assembly connects the coolant outlet bus blind connector to the coolant inlet blind connector on the server node, and the coolant return bus blind connector to the coolant outlet blind connector on the server node. Coolant in the coolant outlet bus flows to the server node through the coolant outlet blind connector and the adapter assembly. After cooling the functional components of the server node, the coolant flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector on the server node, passes through the adapter assembly, and then flows back into the coolant return bus through the coolant return bus blind connector. When installing a standard server node in a specific mounting position, the adapter assembly is not required, or the adapter assembly at the corresponding location can be removed from the rack without interfering with the standard server node. Furthermore, since there is no adapter assembly obstructing the side of the rack away from the mounting port at that mounting position, it facilitates manual wiring of the standard server node from the rear of the rack.

[0011] The server racks in related technologies cannot simultaneously accommodate standard server nodes and rack-mount server nodes, and cannot be installed in any location, resulting in poor versatility. This new server rack, compared to related technologies, adjusts the positions of the liquid cooling outlet and return buses, and uses adapter components for detachable connection to the rack, allowing standard server nodes or rack-mount server nodes to be installed in any location, thus achieving better versatility.

[0012] In one optional embodiment, the adapter assembly includes a first blind connector, a second blind connector, a third blind connector, a fourth blind connector, a first flow channel connecting the first and second blind connectors, a second flow channel connecting the third blind connector and the fourth blind connector, the first blind connector being adapted to mate with the outlet bus blind connector, the second blind connector being adapted to mate with the coolant inlet blind connector of the server node, the third blind connector being adapted to mate with the coolant outlet blind connector of the server node, and the fourth blind connector being adapted to mate with the return bus blind connector.

[0013] Beneficial effects: When installing a rack-mounted server node in a specific mounting position, the adapter component is installed onto the rack. After the adapter component is in place, it aligns with the mounting port of the mounting position. The first blind connector mates with the outlet bus blind connector, and the fourth blind connector mates with the return bus blind connector. The rack-mounted server node is pushed back from the mounting port, causing the coolant inlet blind connector of the server node to mate with the second blind connector, and the coolant outlet blind connector of the server node to mate with the third blind connector. The coolant in the outlet liquid cooling bus flows into the first flow channel through the outlet bus blind connector and the first blind connector, and then flows to the server node through the second blind connector and the coolant inlet blind connector. After cooling the functional components of the server node, the coolant flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector on the server node, enters the second flow channel after passing through the third blind connector, and then flows into the return liquid cooling bus through the fourth blind connector and the return bus blind connector.

[0014] In one alternative implementation, the liquid outlet cooling bus and the liquid return cooling bus are distributed on both sides of the server node installation direction.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Since the temperature of the liquid cooling bus outlet is relatively low and the temperature of the liquid cooling bus return is relatively high, distributing the liquid cooling bus outlet and liquid cooling bus outlet on both sides of the server node installation direction can prevent the heat from the liquid cooling bus return from being transferred to the liquid cooling bus outlet and thus affecting the cooling effect on the server node.

[0016] In one optional embodiment, the adapter assembly includes a first adapter and a second adapter spaced apart along the width direction of the cabinet. The first adapter is provided with a first blind connector, a second blind connector and a first flow channel, and the second adapter is provided with a third blind connector, a fourth blind connector and a second flow channel.

[0017] Beneficial effects: Since the adapter assembly includes a first adapter and a second adapter spaced apart along the width of the cabinet, installing the first adapter and the second adapter separately during installation can avoid interference with the structural components in the middle of the rear side of the cabinet.

[0018] In one alternative implementation, the first adapter includes:

[0019] The first panel is detachably connected to the side of the cabinet away from the mounting opening;

[0020] The first water distributor is fixed to the first plate. The first water distributor is provided with the first blind connector, the second blind connector and the first flow channel.

[0021] And / or, the second adapter includes:

[0022] The second panel is detachably connected to the side of the cabinet away from the mounting opening;

[0023] The second water distributor is fixed to the first plate. The second water distributor is provided with the third blind connector, the fourth blind connector and the second flow channel.

[0024] Beneficial effects: The first plate facilitates the installation of the first adapter on the rear side of the cabinet. The first distributor is fixed to the first plate. The size of the first distributor only needs to ensure that the first and second blind connectors can mate with the coolant outlet blind connector and the coolant inlet blind connector, respectively. Therefore, the length of the first distributor can be less than the length of the first plate. The second plate facilitates the installation of the second adapter on the rear side of the cabinet. The second distributor is fixed to the second plate. The size of the second distributor only needs to ensure that the third and fourth blind connectors can mate with the coolant outlet blind connector and the coolant return blind connector, respectively. Therefore, the length of the second distributor can be less than the length of the second plate.

[0025] In one optional embodiment, the cabinet has a left fixed post, a middle fixed post, and a right fixed post on the side away from the mounting port. The two sides of the first plate are detachably connected to the left fixed post and the middle fixed post, respectively, and the two sides of the second plate are detachably connected to the middle fixed post and the right fixed post, respectively.

[0026] Beneficial effects: The arrangement of the left, middle, and right fixed posts facilitates the installation and securing of the first and second adapter components. Furthermore, when installing a standard server node, without installing the adapter components or removing them from the rear of the cabinet, the spaced left, middle, and right fixed posts, with a relatively large distance between them, facilitate wiring operations for the standard server node from the rear of the cabinet.

[0027] In one optional embodiment, the first plate is U-shaped, including a first intermediate plate and two first side connecting plates. The first water distributor is fixed to the first intermediate plate. One of the first side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the left fixed column facing the middle fixed column, and the other first side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixed column facing the left fixed column.

[0028] And / or, the second plate is U-shaped, including a second intermediate plate and two second side connecting plates, the second water distributor is fixed to the second intermediate plate, one of the second side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the right fixed column facing the middle fixed column, and the other second side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixed column facing the right fixed column.

[0029] Beneficial effects: Because the first plate is U-shaped, one of the first side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the left fixing post facing the middle fixing post, and the other first side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixing post facing the left fixing post. Therefore, the entire first adapter does not protrude from the rear surfaces of the left and middle fixing posts, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Because the second plate is U-shaped, one of the second side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the right fixing post facing the middle fixing post, and the other second side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixing post facing the right fixing post. Therefore, the entire second adapter does not protrude from the rear surfaces of the left and middle fixing posts, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0030] In one optional embodiment, the cabinet has a first power supply bus and a second power supply bus on the side away from the mounting port. The first power supply bus is configured to be plugged into the power interface on the server node of the whole rack, and the second power supply bus is configured to be plugged into the power interface on the standard server node.

[0031] Beneficial effects: The first power supply bus is suitable for powering the server nodes of the entire rack, and the second power supply bus is suitable for powering the standard server nodes. Combined with the adapter components and the detachable connection to the rack, the server rack can enable standard server nodes and server nodes of the entire rack to be installed in any mounting position.

[0032] In one optional embodiment, a data bus is provided on the side of the cabinet away from the mounting port, the adapter component is provided with a data connection interface, the data connection interface is plugged into the data bus, and the server node is provided with a node data interface, the data connection interface being adapted to be plugged into the node data interface.

[0033] Beneficial effects: By setting the data bus on the side of the cabinet away from the installation port, and placing the adapter between the data bus and the server node, the adapter serves as a transfer between the data bus and the server node. At the same time, combined with the adapter's design for liquid cooling and the position design of the first power supply bus, the blind-plug design of the water, electricity and network buses of the server node in the whole cabinet is realized, maximizing the advantage of convenient deployment.

[0034] Secondly, the present invention also provides a rack server, including the server rack and a server node installed at the installation position, wherein the server node includes a standard server node and / or a rack server node.

[0035] Beneficial effects: This rack server can leverage the high density advantage of rack servers and is compatible with EIA standard servers in any location, ensuring the high versatility of the rack.

[0036] In one alternative implementation, the coolant inlet blind connector, and / or coolant outlet blind connector, and / or power interface, and / or node data interface on the server node are designed to float.

[0037] Beneficial effects: By designing the coolant inlet blind connector, and / or coolant outlet blind connector, and / or power interface, and / or node data interface on the server node to be floating, it is easy to connect the coolant inlet blind connector to the second blind connector on the adapter assembly, and / or coolant outlet blind connector to the third blind connector on the adapter assembly, and / or power interface to the first power supply bus, and / or node data interface to the data connection interface on the adapter assembly.

[0038] In one optional implementation, the rear window of the server node is provided with a first opening for inserting the coolant inlet blind connector, a second opening for inserting the coolant outlet blind connector, a third opening for inserting the power interface, and a fourth opening for inserting the node data interface.

[0039] The coolant inlet blind connector has a gap with the first opening;

[0040] And / or, the coolant outlet blind connector has a gap with the second opening;

[0041] And / or, the power interface has a gap with the third opening;

[0042] And / or, the node data interface has a gap with the fourth opening.

[0043] Beneficial effects: The coolant inlet blind connector has a gap with the first opening, allowing for a certain degree of movement relative to the first opening, facilitating the connection between the coolant inlet blind connector and the second blind connector on the adapter assembly. The coolant outlet blind connector also has a gap with the second opening, allowing for a certain degree of movement relative to the second opening, facilitating the connection between the coolant outlet blind connector and the third blind connector on the adapter assembly. The power interface has a gap with the third opening, allowing for a certain degree of movement relative to the third opening, facilitating the connection between the power interface and the first power supply bus. The node data interface has a gap with the fourth opening, allowing for a certain degree of movement relative to the fourth opening, facilitating the connection between the node data interface and the data connection interface on the adapter assembly.

[0044] In one optional implementation, a first guiding device is provided between the server node and the cabinet, the first guiding device being used to guide the installation of the server node.

[0045] Beneficial effects: The first guide device ensures that the server node is installed in place and that each connector on the server node can be aligned and plugged into its corresponding connector.

[0046] In one alternative embodiment, the first guiding device includes:

[0047] The guide pillar is located at the rear window of the server node;

[0048] A guide hole is provided in the cabinet, and the guide post is adapted to be inserted into the guide hole and move along the guide hole.

[0049] Beneficial effect: During the installation of server nodes, first align the guide posts on the server node with the guide holes on the cabinet, and then push the server node backward. The guide holes can limit and guide the movement of the guide posts, preventing the server node from being installed crookedly.

[0050] In one optional embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector, and / or coolant outlet blind connector, and / or power interface, and / or node data interface are provided with a second guide structure, the second guide structure being used to guide the insertion of the coolant inlet blind connector, and / or coolant outlet blind connector, and / or power interface, and / or node data interface.

[0051] Beneficial effect: The second guide structure can further guide the insertion of each connector, making it easier to insert smoothly into place.

[0052] In one alternative embodiment, the second guide structure includes a guide ramp or a guide cone.

[0053] Beneficial effects: The guide ramp or guide cone can effectively guide the insertion of each connector, making it easier to insert it into place smoothly.

[0054] In one alternative implementation, the server node is provided with a front-mounted handrail.

[0055] Beneficial effects: Since the various connectors on the server node require considerable force during the insertion and removal of each connector, the addition of a power handle facilitates the application of force to the server node, making it easier for users to install and remove the server node.

[0056] In one alternative embodiment, the assist handle is fixed to the server node, the cabinet is provided with a fixed shaft, the assist handle is provided with a groove, the groove is adapted to support on the fixed shaft, and the assist handle is adapted to rotate about the fixed shaft.

[0057] Beneficial effects: Because the assist handle is fixed to the server node, when the assist handle rotates around the fixed axis via the groove, it rotates within a small range, thereby applying a forward or backward force to the server node. Specifically, when installing the server node, initially push the server node backward. With each connector on the server node in contact with its corresponding connector but not yet plugged in, turn the assist handle upward clockwise. The assist handle applies a backward force to the server node, causing the connectors on the server node to plug into their corresponding connectors. When it is necessary to remove the server node, turn the assist handle downward counterclockwise. The assist handle applies a forward force to the server node, causing the connectors on the server node to separate from their corresponding connectors, after which the server node can be easily pulled out.

[0058] In one alternative implementation, the power handle includes a handle rod parallel to the server node, with a gap between the handle rod and the server node.

[0059] Beneficial effect: The gap between the handle and the server node makes it easy to apply force to the handle, causing it to rotate relative to the fixed axis.

[0060] In one optional implementation, the standard server node includes a node body and an extension structure. The extension structure is provided with a coolant inlet blind connector, a coolant outlet blind connector, a power interface, and a node data interface. The coolant inlet blind connector is connected to the coolant inlet pipe of the node body, the coolant outlet blind connector is connected to the coolant outlet pipe of the node body, the power interface is connected to the power line of the node body, and the node data interface is connected to the data line of the node body.

[0061] Beneficial effects: By modifying standard server nodes, the standard server nodes can have the same form and distribution as rack-mount server nodes, including coolant inlet blind connectors, coolant outlet blind connectors, power interfaces, and node data interfaces, enabling the standard server nodes to be deployed as quickly as rack-mount server nodes.

[0062] In one optional implementation, the extended structure is a U-shaped frame, including a first frame parallel to the rear end of the node body, and a second frame connected to both sides of the first frame and perpendicularly connected to the rear end of the node body. The coolant inlet blind connector, coolant outlet blind connector, power interface, and node data interface are located on the first frame.

[0063] Beneficial effect: The extended structure is a U-shaped frame, which will not increase the overall weight of the standard server node too much. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0080] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0081] It should be noted that the term "and / or" between the first subject and the second subject includes any of the following meanings: (1) only the first subject, (2) only the second subject, and (3) both the first subject and the second subject. The term "and / or" between two subjects in a list of three or more subjects means at least one subject in a list that includes any specific combination of subjects in that list. For example, "a and / or b and / or c" includes the following combinations of a, b, and c: (1) only a, (2) only b, (3) only c, (4) a and b without c, (5) a and c without b, (6) b and c without a, and (7) a, b, and c.

[0082] Currently, data centers use two rack standards: the universal 19-inch EIA standard and rack-mount server standards developed by organizations such as OCP and ODCC. Each standard has its advantages and disadvantages. The EIA standard is highly universal, being followed by all manufacturers in designing rack servers and currently the most mainstream standard in the industry. Its disadvantages are lower density and slower deployment. The rack-mount server standard offers high density and fast deployment, but its disadvantages include poor universality; only manufacturer-customized nodes can be deployed within the rack.

[0083] The server racks in the related technologies cannot be compatible with both standard server nodes and rack-mount server nodes at the same time, and cannot be installed in any location, resulting in poor versatility.

[0084] One related technology is the ODCC standard-defined rack, which divides the rack into two areas: one area for standard servers and the other area for rack-mounted servers. This does not allow standard server nodes or rack-mounted server nodes to be installed in any location, resulting in poor versatility.

[0085] Furthermore, in the related technology, the liquid distribution line of the rack server is located directly behind the rack server node. The liquid distribution line includes a first inlet connector and a first return connector. After the rack server node is installed, the second inlet connector on the rack server node is plugged into the first inlet connector, and the second return connector on the rack server node is plugged into the first return connector. Because the liquid distribution line is located directly behind the rack server node, it will interfere with the installation of standard server nodes.

[0086] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 13 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0087] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a server rack is provided, including a rack body 1 and a transfer component.

[0088] The cabinet 1 has multiple mounting positions for installing server nodes, each with a mounting port. On the side of the cabinet 1 away from the mounting ports, there are liquid cooling bus outlet 2 and liquid cooling bus return 3, distributed on at least one side of the server node installation direction. The liquid cooling bus outlet 2 has multiple liquid cooling bus blind connectors 201 corresponding to each mounting position, and the liquid cooling bus return 3 has multiple liquid cooling bus blind connectors 301 corresponding to each mounting position. An adapter assembly is detachably installed on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the mounting ports. The adapter assembly is used to connect the liquid cooling bus blind connectors 201 to the coolant inlet blind connectors 501 on the server node, and to connect the liquid cooling bus blind connectors 301 to the coolant outlet blind connectors 502 on the server node.

[0089] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with multiple mounting positions for installing server nodes in a vertical direction, so multiple server nodes can be placed. By providing liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the mounting port, and the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 are distributed on at least one side of the server node installation direction, that is, when the server node is installed in place, the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 are not located directly behind the server node, so the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 will not interfere with the installation of the standard server. When a rack server node needs to be installed in a certain installation position, the adapter component is installed on the rack 1. After the adapter component is installed in place, it is aligned with the installation port of the installation position. The adapter component connects the outlet bus blind connector 201 to the coolant inlet blind connector 501 on the server node and connects the return bus blind connector 301 to the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node. The coolant in the outlet liquid cooling bus 2 flows to the server node through the outlet bus blind connector 201 and the adapter component. After cooling the functional components of the server node, the coolant flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node, passes through the adapter component, and flows into the return liquid cooling bus 3 through the return bus blind connector 301. When a standard server node needs to be installed in a certain installation position, there is no need to install an adapter component, or to remove the adapter component at the corresponding position from cabinet 1 without interfering with the standard server node. Furthermore, since there is no adapter component obstructing the installation port on the side of cabinet 1 at that installation position, it is convenient for manual wiring of the standard server node at the rear of the cabinet.

[0090] Server racks in related technologies cannot simultaneously accommodate standard server nodes and rack-mount server nodes, and cannot be installed in any location, resulting in poor versatility. In contrast, the server rack in this embodiment, by adjusting the positions of the liquid cooling bus 2 (outlet) and liquid cooling bus 3 (return), and using an adapter component for detachable connection to the rack 1, allows standard server nodes or rack-mount server nodes to be installed in any location, thus improving versatility.

[0091] Specifically, multiple installation positions are arranged sequentially along the height of cabinet 1.

[0092] In one specific embodiment, the installation port is located on the front side of the cabinet 1, and the user inserts the server node into the installation position on the front side. The adapter component is detachably connected to the rear side of the cabinet 1.

[0093] In one specific embodiment, the coolant can cool the functional components of the server node. The functional components refer to devices with relatively high power consumption, such as, but not limited to, the processor (central processing unit, CPU).

[0094] In one embodiment, the adapter assembly includes a first blind connector 4011, a second blind connector 4012, a third blind connector 4021, a fourth blind connector 4022, and a first flow channel communicating with the first blind connector 4011 and the second blind connector 4012, and a second flow channel communicating with the third blind connector and the fourth blind connector 4022. The first blind connector 4011 is adapted to mate with the coolant outlet bus blind connector 201, the second blind connector 4012 is adapted to mate with the coolant inlet blind connector 501 of the server node, the third blind connector 4021 is adapted to mate with the coolant outlet blind connector 502 of the server node, and the fourth blind connector 4022 is adapted to mate with the coolant return bus blind connector 301.

[0095] In this embodiment, when installing a rack server node at a certain mounting position, the adapter component is installed onto the rack 1. After the adapter component is installed in place, it is aligned with the mounting port of the mounting position. The first blind connector 4011 mates with the outlet bus blind connector 201, and the fourth blind connector 4022 mates with the return bus blind connector 301. The rack server node is then pushed backward from the mounting port, causing the server node's coolant inlet blind connector 501 to mate with the second blind connector 4012, and the server node's coolant outlet blind connector 4022 to mate with the first blind connector 4012. The three blind connectors 4021 are suitable for docking. The coolant in the liquid cooling bus 2 flows into the first flow channel through the liquid cooling bus blind connector 201 and the first blind connector 4011. Then it flows to the server node through the second blind connector 4012 and the coolant inlet blind connector 501. After cooling the functional components of the server node, it flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node. After passing through the third blind connector 4021, it enters the second flow channel. Then it flows into the return liquid cooling bus 3 through the fourth blind connector 4022 and the return liquid bus blind connector 301.

[0096] In one embodiment, the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and the liquid return cooling bus 3 are distributed on both sides of the server node installation direction.

[0097] In this embodiment, since the temperature of the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 is relatively low and the temperature of the liquid return cooling bus 3 is relatively high, distributing the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and the liquid return cooling bus 3 on both sides of the server node installation direction can prevent the heat of the liquid return cooling bus 3 from being transferred to the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and affecting the cooling effect on the server node.

[0098] Specifically in one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 is located on the left side of the server node installation direction, and the liquid return cooling bus 3 is located on the right side of the server node installation direction. After the server node is installed, the coolant in the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 flows into the first flow channel through the liquid outlet bus blind connector 201 and the first blind connector 4011, and then flows to the right along the first flow channel. It flows to the server node through the second blind connector 4012 and the coolant inlet blind connector 501. After cooling and dissipating heat for the functional components of the server node, it flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node, enters the second flow channel after passing through the third blind connector 4021, flows to the right along the second flow channel, and then flows into the liquid return cooling bus 3 through the fourth blind connector 4022 and the liquid return bus blind connector 301.

[0099] Of course, in an embodiment not shown in the figure, the liquid cooling bus 2 and the liquid cooling bus 3 can be located on the same side of the server node installation direction, for example, both on the left side. In this embodiment, the first flow channel connects the first blind connector 4011 and the second blind connector 4012, and the second flow channel connects the third blind connector structure and the fourth blind connector 4022. Since the liquid cooling bus 2 and the liquid cooling bus 3 are located on the left side of the server node installation direction, the coolant inlet blind connector 501 of the server node is closer to the left side, and the coolant outlet blind connector 502 is closer to the right side, so the length of the second flow channel is longer. Specifically, after the server node is installed, the coolant in the liquid cooling bus 2 flows into the first flow channel through the liquid cooling bus blind connector 201 and the first blind connector 4011, and then flows to the right along the first flow channel. After passing through the second blind connector 4012 and the coolant inlet blind connector 501, it flows to the server node. After cooling the functional components of the server node, it flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node, passes through the third blind connector 4021 and enters the second flow channel. It flows to the left along the second flow channel, and then flows into the return liquid cooling bus 3 through the fourth blind connector 4022 and the return liquid cooling bus blind connector 301.

[0100] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the adapter assembly includes a first adapter 401 and a second adapter 402 spaced apart along the width direction of the cabinet 1. The first adapter 401 is provided with a first blind connector 4011, a second blind connector 4012 and a first flow channel. The second adapter 402 is provided with a third blind connector 4021, a fourth blind connector 4022 and a second flow channel.

[0101] In this embodiment, since the adapter assembly includes a first adapter 401 and a second adapter 402 spaced apart along the width direction of the cabinet 1, during installation, the first adapter 401 and the second adapter 402 are installed respectively, which can avoid interference with the structural components in the middle of the rear side of the cabinet 1.

[0102] Specifically, after the server node is installed, the coolant in the outlet liquid cooling bus 2 flows into the first flow channel through the outlet bus blind connector 201 and the first blind connector 4011 on the first adapter 401. Then it flows to the right along the first flow channel, through the second blind connector 4012 on the first adapter 401 and the coolant inlet blind connector 501 on the server node, and flows to the server node. After cooling the functional components of the server node, it flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node, through the third blind connector 4021 on the second adapter 402 and enters the second flow channel. It flows to the right along the second flow channel, and then through the fourth blind connector 4022 on the second adapter 402 and the return bus blind connector 301 into the return liquid cooling bus 3.

[0103] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the adapter assembly can be an integral structure, that is, the first adapter 401 and the second adapter 402 are connected as one unit. In order to avoid interference with the structural components in the middle of the rear side of the cabinet 1, the position where the first adapter 401 and the second adapter 402 are connected can be recessed backward.

[0104] In one embodiment, the first adapter 401 includes a first plate 4013 and a first water distributor 4014. The first plate 4013 is detachably connected to the side of the cabinet 1 away from the installation port. The first water distributor 4014 is fixed to the first plate 4013 and is provided with a first blind connector 4011, a second blind connector 4012, and a first flow channel. And / or, the second adapter 402 includes a second plate 4023 and a second water distributor 4024. The second plate 4023 is detachably connected to the side of the cabinet 1 away from the installation port. The second water distributor 4024 is fixed to the first plate 4013 and is provided with a third blind connector 4021, a fourth blind connector 4022, and a second flow channel.

[0105] In this embodiment, the first plate 4013 facilitates the installation of the first adapter 401 on the rear side of the cabinet 1. The first water distributor 4014 is fixed on the first plate 4013. The size of the first water distributor 4014 only needs to ensure that the first blind connector 4011 and the second blind connector 4012 can respectively mate with the outlet bus blind connector 201 and the coolant inlet blind connector 501. Therefore, the length of the first water distributor 4014 can be less than the length of the first plate 4013. The second plate 4023 facilitates the installation of the second adapter 402 on the rear side of the cabinet 1. The second water distributor 4024 is fixed on the second plate 4023. The size of the second water distributor 4024 only needs to ensure that the third blind connector 4021 and the fourth blind connector 4022 can respectively mate with the coolant outlet blind connector 502 and the return bus blind connector 301. Therefore, the length of the second water distributor 4024 can be less than the length of the second plate 4023.

[0106] In one embodiment, the first water distributor 4014 is detachably connected to the first plate 4013. During production, the first water distributor 4014 and the first plate 4013 can be produced separately and then assembled together.

[0107] Specifically, the first water distributor 4014 is fixed to the first plate 4013 by screws.

[0108] In one embodiment, the second water distributor 4024 is detachably connected to the second plate 4023. During production, the second water distributor 4024 and the second plate 4023 can be produced separately and then assembled together.

[0109] Specifically, the second water distributor 4024 is fixed to the second plate 4023 by screws.

[0110] In one embodiment, the first adapter 401 includes a first plate 4013 and a first water distributor 4014, while the second adapter 402 includes a second plate 4023 and a second water distributor 4024.

[0111] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the first adapter 401 may not include the first plate 4013, but only the first water distributor 4014. The length of the first water distributor 4014 needs to be sufficient to be fixed to the rear side of the cabinet 1.

[0112] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the second adapter 402 may not include the second plate 4023, but only the second water distributor 4024. The length of the second water distributor 4024 needs to be sufficient to be fixed to the rear side of the cabinet 1.

[0113] In one embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with a left fixed post 101, a middle fixed post 102 and a right fixed post 103 on the side away from the installation port. The two sides of the first plate 4013 are detachably connected to the left fixed post 101 and the middle fixed post 102 respectively, and the two sides of the second plate 4023 are detachably connected to the middle fixed post 102 and the right fixed post 103 respectively.

[0114] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the left fixing post 101, the middle fixing post 102, and the right fixing post facilitates the installation and fixation of the first adapter 401 and the second adapter 402. Furthermore, when a standard server node needs to be installed, the adapter assembly is not installed or is removed from the rear of the cabinet 1. Because the left fixing post 101, the middle fixing post 102, and the right fixing post 103 are spaced apart, with a relatively large distance between the left fixing post 101 and the middle fixing post 102, and a relatively large distance between the middle fixing post 102 and the right fixing post 103, wiring operations for the standard server node are conveniently performed from the rear of the cabinet 1.

[0115] In one embodiment, the first plate 4013 is U-shaped, including a first intermediate plate 40131 and two first side connecting plates 40132. The first water distributor 4014 is fixed to the first intermediate plate 40131. One of the first side connecting plates 40132 is detachably connected to the side of the left fixed post 101 facing the middle fixed post 102, and the other first side connecting plate 40132 is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixed post 102 facing the left fixed post 101. And / or, the second plate 4023 is U-shaped, including a second intermediate plate and two second side connecting plates. The second water distributor 4024 is fixed to the second intermediate plate. One of the second side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the right fixed post 103 facing the middle fixed post 102, and the other second side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixed post 102 facing the right fixed post 103.

[0116] In this embodiment, since the first plate 4013 is U-shaped, one of the first side connecting plates 40132 is detachably connected to the side of the left fixing post 101 facing the middle fixing post 102, and the other first side connecting plate 40132 is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixing post 102 facing the left fixing post 101. Therefore, the entire first adapter 401 does not protrude from the rear surfaces of the left fixing post 101 and the middle fixing post 102, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance. Similarly, since the second plate 4023 is U-shaped, one of the second side connecting plates is detachably connected to the side of the right fixing post 103 facing the middle fixing post 102, and the other second side connecting plate is detachably connected to the side of the middle fixing post 102 facing the right fixing post 103. Therefore, the entire second adapter 402 does not protrude from the rear surfaces of the left fixing post 101 and the middle fixing post 102, resulting in an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0117] Of course, in one embodiment not shown in the figure, the first plate 4013 can be a flat plate, with one end of the first plate 4013 fixed to the rear surface of the left fixing post 101 and the other end of the first plate 4013 fixed to the rear surface of the middle fixing post 102.

[0118] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the second plate 4023 may be a flat plate, with one end of the second plate 4023 fixed to the rear surface of the middle fixing post 102 and the other end of the second plate 4023 fixed to the rear surface of the right fixing post 103.

[0119] In one specific embodiment, one of the first side connecting plates 40132 is connected to the side of the left fixing post 101 facing the middle fixing post 102 by screws, and the other first side connecting plate 40132 is connected to the side of the middle fixing post 102 facing the left fixing post 101 by screws.

[0120] In one specific embodiment, one of the second side connecting plates is connected to the side of the right fixing post 103 facing the middle fixing post 102 by screws, and the other second side connecting plate is connected to the side of the middle fixing post 102 facing the right fixing post 103 by screws.

[0121] In one embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with a first power supply bus 6 and a second power supply bus 7 on the side away from the installation port. The first power supply bus 6 is configured to be plugged into the power interface 504 on the server node of the whole rack, and the second power supply bus 7 is configured to be plugged into the power interface 504 on the standard server node.

[0122] In this embodiment, the first power supply bus 6 is adapted to supply power to the server nodes of the entire rack, and the second power supply bus 7 is adapted to supply power to the standard server nodes. Combined with the adapter component, which is detachably connected to the rack 1, the server rack can enable the standard server nodes and the server nodes of the entire rack to be installed in any mounting position.

[0123] In one specific embodiment, the first power supply bus 6 is a busbar, and the second power supply bus 7 is a PDU.

[0124] In one specific embodiment, the first power supply bus 6 includes two lines, one positive and one negative, located at the center-right position on the rear side of the cabinet 1.

[0125] In one specific embodiment, the second power supply bus 7 includes two positive and two negative lines, which are respectively arranged on the left and right side walls behind the cabinet 1.

[0126] In one specific embodiment, the data bus 8 is distributed between the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and the busbar.

[0127] In one embodiment, a data bus 8 is provided on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the installation port, and the adapter component is provided with a data connection interface 4015. The data connection interface 4015 is plugged into the data bus 8, and the server node is provided with a node data interface 503. The data connection interface 4015 is adapted to be plugged into the node data interface 503.

[0128] In this embodiment, by setting a data bus 8 on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the installation port, and setting a transfer component between the data bus 8 and the server node, the data bus 8 and the server node are connected. At the same time, combined with the transfer component's design for liquid cooling and the position design of the first power supply bus 6, the blind insertion design of the water, electricity and network buses of the server node in the whole cabinet is realized, maximizing the advantage of convenient deployment.

[0129] In one specific embodiment, the data connection interface 4015 is provided on the first board 4013, while the second board 4023 does not have the data connection interface 4015.

[0130] According to an embodiment of the present invention, another aspect provides a rack server, including the server rack provided in the above embodiment, and server nodes installed at the installation position, wherein the server nodes include standard server nodes and / or rack server nodes.

[0131] In this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is provided with multiple mounting positions for installing server nodes in a vertical direction, so multiple server nodes can be placed. By providing liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 on the side of the cabinet 1 away from the mounting port, and the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 are distributed on at least one side of the server node installation direction, that is, when the server node is installed in place, the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 are not located directly behind the server node, so the liquid outlet cooling bus 2 and liquid return cooling bus 3 will not interfere with the installation of the standard server. When a rack server node needs to be installed in a certain installation position, the adapter component is installed on the rack 1. After the adapter component is installed in place, it is aligned with the installation port of the installation position. The adapter component connects the outlet bus blind connector 201 to the coolant inlet blind connector 501 on the server node and connects the return bus blind connector 301 to the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node. The coolant in the outlet liquid cooling bus 2 flows to the server node through the outlet bus blind connector 201 and the adapter component. After cooling the functional components of the server node, the coolant flows out from the coolant outlet blind connector 502 on the server node, passes through the adapter component, and flows into the return liquid cooling bus 3 through the return bus blind connector 301. When a standard server node needs to be installed in a certain installation position, there is no need to install an adapter component, or to remove the adapter component at the corresponding position from cabinet 1 without interfering with the standard server node. Furthermore, since there is no adapter component obstructing the installation port on the side of cabinet 1 at that installation position, it is convenient for manual wiring of the standard server node at the rear of the cabinet.

[0132] The rack server in this embodiment can leverage the high density advantage of rack servers, and can also be compatible with EIA standard servers in any location, ensuring the high versatility of the rack.

[0133] In one embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector 501, and / or coolant outlet blind connector 502, and / or power interface 504, and / or node data interface 503 on the server node are designed to float.

[0134] In this embodiment, by designing the coolant inlet blind connector 501, and / or coolant outlet blind connector 502, and / or power interface 504, and / or node data interface 503 on the server node to float, it is convenient to connect the coolant inlet blind connector 501 to the second blind connector 4012 on the adapter assembly, and / or coolant outlet blind connector 502 to the third blind connector 4021 on the adapter assembly, and / or power interface 504 to the first power supply bus 6, and / or node data interface 503 to the data connection interface 4015 on the adapter assembly.

[0135] In one specific embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector 501, coolant outlet blind connector 502, power interface 504, and node data interface 503 on the server node are all designed to float.

[0136] In one embodiment, such as Figure 9 As shown, the rear window of the server node has a first opening 509 for inserting a coolant inlet blind connector 501, a second opening 510 for inserting a coolant outlet blind connector 502, a third opening 511 for inserting a power interface 504, and a fourth opening 512 for inserting a node data interface 503. The coolant inlet blind connector 501 has a gap with the first opening 509; and / or, the coolant outlet blind connector 502 has a gap with the second opening 510; and / or, the power interface 504 has a gap with the third opening 511; and / or, the node data interface 503 has a gap with the fourth opening 512.

[0137] In this embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector 501 has a gap with the first opening 509, and the coolant inlet blind connector 501 can move to a certain extent relative to the first opening 509 to facilitate the insertion of the coolant inlet blind connector 501 with the second blind connector 4012 on the adapter assembly. The coolant outlet blind connector 502 has a gap with the second opening 510, and the coolant outlet blind connector 502 can move to a certain extent relative to the second opening 510 to facilitate the insertion of the coolant outlet blind connector 502 with the third blind connector 4021 on the adapter assembly. The power interface 504 has a gap with the third opening 511, and the power interface 504 can move to a certain extent relative to the third opening 511 to facilitate the insertion of the power interface 504 with the first power supply bus 6. The node data interface 503 has a gap with the fourth opening 512, and the node data interface 503 can move to a certain extent relative to the fourth opening 512, which facilitates the insertion of the node data interface 503 and the data connection interface 4015 on the adapter component.

[0138] In one specific embodiment, the size of each opening is 3-5mm larger than the corresponding connector.

[0139] In one embodiment, a first guiding device is provided between the server node and the cabinet 1, and the first guiding device is used to guide the installation of the server node.

[0140] In this embodiment, the first guide device ensures that the server node is installed in place and that each connector on the server node can be aligned and plugged into its corresponding connector.

[0141] In one embodiment, the first guiding device includes a guide post 505 and a guide hole. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the guide post 505 is located at the rear window of the server node; the guide hole is located in the cabinet 1, and the guide post 505 is adapted to be inserted into the guide hole and move along the guide hole.

[0142] In this embodiment, during the installation of the server node, the guide post 505 on the server node is first aligned with the guide hole on the cabinet 1, and then the server node is pushed backward. The guide hole can limit and guide the movement of the guide post 505 to prevent the server node from being installed crookedly.

[0143] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the guide post 505 can be set on the cabinet 1, and the guide hole can be set on the server node.

[0144] In one embodiment not shown in the figure, the first guiding device may include a slide rail, for example, the slide rail is set on both sides of the mounting position on the cabinet 1, and a slider adapted to the slide rail is set on the server node, and the installation of the server node is guided and limited by the cooperation of the slider and the slide rail.

[0145] In one embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector 501, and / or the coolant outlet blind connector 502, and / or the power interface 504, and / or the node data interface 503 are provided with a second guide structure, which is used to guide the insertion of the coolant inlet blind connector 501, and / or the coolant outlet blind connector 502, and / or the power interface 504, and / or the node data interface 503.

[0146] In this embodiment, the second guide structure can further guide the insertion of each connector, making it easier to insert it into place smoothly.

[0147] In one specific embodiment, the coolant inlet blind connector 501, the coolant outlet blind connector 502, the power interface 504, and the node data interface 503 are all provided with a second guide structure.

[0148] In one embodiment, further reference Figure 9 The second guide structure includes a guide slope 506 or a guide cone surface.

[0149] In this embodiment, the guide slope 506 or guide cone surface can effectively guide the insertion of each connector, facilitating smooth insertion.

[0150] In one embodiment, such as Figure 11 As shown, the server node has a power handle 9 on the front side.

[0151] In this embodiment, since the various connectors on the server node require considerable force during the insertion and removal of each connector, the assist handle 9 facilitates the application of force to the server node, making it easier for the user to install and remove the server node.

[0152] In one embodiment, the power handle 9 is fixed to the server node, the cabinet 1 is provided with a fixed shaft 104, the power handle 9 is provided with a groove 901, the groove 901 is adapted to be supported on the fixed shaft 104, and the power handle 9 is adapted to rotate around the fixed shaft 104.

[0153] In this embodiment, since the assist handle 9 is fixed to the server node, when the assist handle 9 rotates around the fixed axis 104 via the groove 901, the assist handle 9 rotates within a small range, thereby applying a forward or backward force to the server node. Specifically, when installing the server node, initially pushing the server node backward, while the various connectors on the server node are in contact with their corresponding joints but not yet plugged in, such as... Figure 12 As shown, turning the assist handle 9 clockwise upwards applies a backward force to the server node, causing the connectors on the server node to engage with their corresponding terminals. To remove the server node, follow these steps: Figure 13 As shown. Turn the assist handle 9 counterclockwise downwards. The assist handle 9 applies a forward force to the server node, causing the various connectors on the server node to separate from their corresponding joints. The server node can then be easily pulled out.

[0154] In one embodiment, the power handle 9 includes a handle bar 902 parallel to the server node, with a gap between the handle bar 902 and the server node.

[0155] In this embodiment, since there is a gap between the handle 902 and the server node, it is convenient to apply force to the handle 902 so that the handle 902 rotates relative to the fixed axis 104.

[0156] In one embodiment, a standard server node includes a node body 507 and an expansion structure 508. The expansion structure 508 is provided with a coolant inlet blind connector 501, a coolant outlet blind connector 502, a power interface 504, and a node data interface 503. The coolant inlet blind connector 501 is connected to the coolant inflow pipe of the node body 507, the coolant outlet blind connector 502 is connected to the coolant outflow pipe of the node body 507, the power interface 504 is connected to the power line of the node body 507, and the node data interface 503 is connected to the data line of the node body 507.

[0157] In this embodiment, such as Figure 10 As shown, the standard server node is modified to have the same form and distribution as the rack server node, including coolant inlet blind connector 501, coolant outlet blind connector 502, power interface 504, and node data interface 503, so as to achieve the same rapid deployment of the standard server node as the rack server node.

[0158] In one embodiment, the extended structure 508 is a U-shaped frame, including a first frame 5081 parallel to the rear end of the node body 507, a second frame 5082 connected to both sides of the first frame 5081 and perpendicularly connected to the rear end of the node body 507, a coolant inlet blind connector 501, a coolant outlet blind connector 502, a power interface 504, and a node data interface 503 disposed on the first frame 5081.

[0159] In this embodiment, the extension structure 508 is a U-shaped frame, which will not significantly increase the overall weight of the standard server node.

[0160] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
