[0002] Computing servers typically need to process large amounts of data and complex computing tasks, which places extremely high demands on the stability and transmission quality of power signals. The quality of power signal transmission directly affects the performance, stability, and lifespan of the server.

[0003] In existing technologies, network analyzers and switch boxes are usually used together to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of the power signal transmission quality. During the testing process, it is usually necessary to connect the plugs of the transmission cables one by one to the interface of the testing equipment so that the server under test can be connected to the testing equipment for signal transmission quality testing.

[0004] However, existing devices have certain limitations in use. Since the testing equipment usually has multiple power signal interfaces, the testing personnel need to spend a lot of time and effort to insert the plugs of the transmission cables into the interfaces one by one and rotate and tighten the plugs to the interfaces to ensure a firm connection. After the test is completed, the plugs need to be rotated one by one and removed from the interfaces. This cumbersome operation process not only increases the workload of the testing personnel, but also greatly reduces the testing efficiency. This problem is particularly prominent when a large number of servers need to be tested.

After the test is completed, the plugs need to be rotated one by one and removed from the interface. This cumbersome operation process not only increases the workload of the testing personnel, but also greatly reduces the testing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: This invention provides a device for detecting the power signal transmission quality of a computing server, comprising: The network analyzer and switch box are provided. The switch box has multiple interfaces on its outer wall. Each interface has a threaded connector on its outer wall, and a transmission cable is fixedly connected to the outer wall of each connector.

[0022] 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, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments.

[0024] See attached document Figure 1-9 A device for detecting the power signal transmission quality of a computing server, comprising: The system comprises a network analyzer 1 and a switch box 2. The switch box 2 has multiple interfaces 201 on its outer wall. Each interface 201 has a threaded connector 301. A transmission cable 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connector 301. The connector 301 of the transmission cable 3 mates with the corresponding interface 201. The connector 301 is fitted over the interface 201 and rotated to tighten it at the interface 201, thus fixing the connector 301 onto the interface 201 and connecting the devices for testing. The network analyzer 1 is mainly used for analyzing the transmission characteristics of high-frequency signals. By measuring parameters such as signal reflection, transmission, and loss, it evaluates the integrity of the power signal in the transmission path, thereby detecting impedance matching problems, signal attenuation, and crosstalk in the power signal path, ensuring signal integrity at high frequencies. By measuring scattering parameters, it analyzes the reflection and transmission characteristics of signals in transmission lines, connectors, or PCB traces. By sending pulse signals and measuring the time and amplitude of the reflected signals, it locates discontinuities in the transmission path, thereby detecting problems in connectors, overlays, and other components in the power signal path. To ensure reliable signal transmission, faults in the port or cable are detected. The amplitude, phase, and timing of the differential signal are measured using a differential probe to assess its symmetry and common-mode rejection ratio, thereby detecting the transmission quality of the high-speed differential signal and ensuring its stability during high-speed transmission. Switch box 2 is mainly used for dynamic testing and load simulation of power signals. By controlling the switching of the power supply and load changes, the stability of the power signal under dynamic conditions is evaluated. The ripple and noise at the power output are measured using an oscilloscope to assess the purity of the power signal, thereby detecting high-frequency noise and low-frequency ripple in the power signal. The dynamic load changes of the server are simulated using an electronic load to evaluate the response capability of the power signal under sudden load changes, thereby detecting the transient response and overshoot / undershoot of the power signal. The power-on timing of the power signal is measured using an oscilloscope to check whether the power-on timing of the power signal meets the timing requirements of the chip, avoiding chip damage due to timing errors. The network analyzer 1 and switch box 2 are usually used together to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of the power signal transmission quality. The outer wall of switch box 2 is equipped with a linkage component, which includes: The fixed box 4 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the switch box 2. The outer wall of the fixed box 4 has a through groove 401, and multiple sets of through grooves 401 are provided. The interface 201 is inserted into the corresponding through groove 401. The fixed box 4 is fitted over the interface 201 to protect the interface 201. The transmission unit includes multiple sets of rotating cylinders 6, multiple sets of sprockets 602, and a transmission chain 603. One end of the rotating cylinder 6 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the fixed box 4 via a bearing. The sprockets 602 are fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 6. The transmission chain 603 is meshed with the sprockets 602. In use, the rotation of the rotating cylinder 6 drives the sprockets 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain 603 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission chain 603 drives the multiple sets of sprockets 602 to rotate simultaneously, thus connecting the motion states of the multiple sets of rotating cylinders 6 together. This facilitates simultaneous operation, allows for quick connection and disassembly of the equipment, and improves operational efficiency.

[0025] The front end of the rotating cylinder 6 has a groove, and a connecting cylinder 501 is movably inserted into the inner wall of the groove. The front end of the connecting cylinder 501 is fixedly provided with a rotating shaft 5. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 5 has a slot. The outer wall of the plug 301 is fixedly provided with a fixing block 302, and the fixing block 302 is inserted into and locked in the slot on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. The plug 301 is connected and inserted into the rotating shaft 5 at the front end of the corresponding interface 201.

[0026] The rotating cylinder 6 has a groove at its front end and a sliding groove 601 on its inner wall. A movable block 502 is movably engaged with the inner wall of the sliding groove 601. The movable block 502 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 501. When the rotating cylinder 6 rotates, the connecting cylinder 501 is driven to rotate. The rotating connecting cylinder 501 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the plug 301 to rotate, thereby tightening the plug 301 at the interface 201.

[0027] A slider 503 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 5. A spiral groove 402 is opened on the inner wall of the connecting groove 401, and the slider 503 is movably engaged in the spiral groove 402. The slider 503 is restricted to slide within the inner cavity of the spiral groove 402, so that when the rotating shaft 5 rotates, the slider 503 drives the rotating shaft 5 to move backward along the direction of the spiral groove 402, thereby driving the plug 301 to move backward, and then tightening the plug 301 on the outside of the interface 201.

[0028] A turbine 604 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 6, and a worm gear 605 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed box 4 through a bearing. The turbine 604 and the worm gear 605 are meshed together. In use, the user rotates the worm gear 605, which drives the turbine 604 to rotate. The rotating turbine 604 drives the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate, and the rotating cylinder 6 drives multiple sets of rotating cylinders 6 to rotate simultaneously. The rotating cylinder 6 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, and thus multiple sets of plugs 301 rotate together. This makes installation convenient and the operation simple and quick.

[0029] The outer wall of the fixed box 4 has a round hole, and one end of the worm gear 605 extends out of the fixed box 4 through the round hole in the outer wall of the fixed box 4, and is fixedly connected to an adjusting block 606, which is used to extend the action point of the worm gear 605 for easy adjustment by the user.

[0030] A protective pad is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slot opened on the rotating shaft 5 to increase the friction between the inner wall of the rotating shaft 5 and the fixed block 302, thereby restricting the plug 301 in the inner cavity of the rotating shaft 5, so as to facilitate the subsequent movement of the rotating shaft 5 to drive the plug 301 to move.

[0031] A rectangular slot 7 is provided on the top of the switch box 2, and a spring strip 701 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the rectangular slot 7. A positioning block 702 is fixedly installed on the other end of the spring strip 701. A positioning slot 703 is provided on the bottom of the network analyzer 1, and the top of the positioning block 702 is engaged and locked into the corresponding positioning slot 703. In use, the network analyzer 1 is stacked on top of the switch box 2, the positioning slot 703 is aligned with the positioning block 702, and the positioning block 702 is pushed upward by the pushing force of the spring strip 701, so that the top of the positioning block 702 is inserted into the positioning slot 703. This restricts the network analyzer 1 to the top of the switch box 2, preventing the network analyzer 1 from falling off the top of the switch box 2 due to accidental contact by the user, thus improving safety.

[0032] The outer wall of the mesh analyzer 1 is equipped with a display screen to show the detection results, and the outer wall of the mesh analyzer 1 is also equipped with a control panel to facilitate user operation and adjustment according to the needs of the detection equipment.

[0033] Working principle: In use, the user inserts the plugs 301 of the multiple sets of transmission cables 3 that need to be connected into the corresponding rotating shaft 5. At this time, the fixing block 302 is locked on the rotating shaft 5. The user rotates the adjusting block 606, which drives the worm gear 605 to rotate. The rotating worm gear 605 drives the turbine 604 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating cylinder 6 to rotate. The rotating cylinder 6 drives the sprocket 602 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission chain 603 to rotate. The rotating transmission chain 603 drives multiple sets of sprockets 602 to rotate together, which in turn drives the interconnected rotating cylinder 6 to rotate. The rotating cylinder 6 in turn drives the connecting cylinder 501 to rotate, thus rotating the connecting cylinder 501. The cylinder 501 drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed block 302 to rotate. The fixed block 302 then drives the plug 301 to rotate. The spiral groove 402 restricts the movement path of the slider 503, causing the rotating shaft 5 to move towards the interface 201 along the spiral groove 402 while rotating. This causes the plug 301 to move towards the interface 201 and tighten it onto the outside of the interface 201. Multiple plugs 301 can be tightened onto multiple interfaces 201 at the same time. Similarly, by rotating the adjusting block 606 in the opposite direction, multiple plugs 301 can be rotated and moved away from the interface 201, making it easy to remove multiple plugs 301 from their corresponding interfaces 201 at the same time. This operation is simple and quick, and improves the efficiency of testing. In use, the network analyzer 1 is stacked on top of the switch box 2, with the positioning groove 703 aligned with the positioning block 702. The positioning block 702 is pushed upward by the pushing force of the spring bar 701, so that the top of the positioning block 702 is inserted into the positioning groove 703. This restricts the network analyzer 1 to the top of the switch box 2, preventing the network analyzer 1 from falling off the top of the switch box 2 due to accidental contact by the user, thus improving safety.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
