Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, and more particularly to a server. Background Technology

[0002] In servers, the power supply unit (PSU) supplies power to various functional components through components such as the power distribution board (PDB). For complex servers that support multiple pluggable nodes, the PDB is usually designed as a centrally located vertical backplane to meet the plug-in requirements of front and rear modules.

[0003] However, this centrally located vertical backplate can obstruct the flow of airflow within the server, resulting in poor server heat dissipation performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a server that can improve the efficiency of air cooling and optimize heat dissipation performance.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the embodiments of this application adopt the following technical solutions: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a server, the server including a chassis, and a first component, a second component, and a power supply assembly disposed within the chassis. The first component and the second component are located on opposite sides of the power supply assembly along the server's air cooling direction, and both the first component and the second component are connected to the power supply assembly; wherein, the power supply assembly includes: First plate; Two second plates are connected to opposite ends of the first plate; the surfaces of the first and second plates are parallel to the air cooling direction, and the first plate and the two second plates form a first ventilation zone, which is used for the server's heat dissipation airflow.

[0006] A server according to an embodiment of this application provides: by setting a power supply bus assembly including a first plate and two second plates connected to its opposite ends, the first plate and the two second plates form a first ventilation zone, allowing the cooling airflow to flow through the area where the power supply bus assembly is located via the first ventilation zone, thereby improving the unobstructed airflow of the server's internal airflow and thus enhancing the cooling efficiency; in addition, when the cooling airflow flows through the power supply bus assembly, the plate surface parallel to the air cooling direction has very little obstruction to the cooling airflow, effectively reducing the wind resistance of the cooling airflow, improving the flow efficiency of the cooling airflow, and optimizing the cooling conditions of the power supply bus assembly.

[0007] In some embodiments, the power supply bus assembly includes a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate covering the first electrode plate; The first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are insulated from each other to form a first plate body and two second plates bodies.

[0008] In this embodiment, the second electrode plate is disposed on the first electrode plate and the two are insulatedly connected to form the first plate body and the second plate body. This allows the power supply bus assembly to perform electrical functions while the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are stacked together to reduce the projected area of ​​the power supply bus assembly in the air cooling direction, thereby reducing its occupation and obstruction of the internal air duct of the server and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the server.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first electrode plate includes a first sub-plate, a second sub-plate, and a third sub-plate, with the first sub-plate and the third sub-plate connected to opposite ends of the second sub-plate; The second electrode plate includes a fourth sub-plate, a fifth sub-plate, and a sixth sub-plate, with the fourth and sixth sub-plates connected to opposite ends of the fifth sub-plate. The second and fifth sub-boards form the first board body, the first and fourth sub-boards form one of the two second board bodies, and the third and sixth sub-boards form the other of the two second board bodies.

[0010] In some embodiments, the power supply bus assembly further includes an insulating element and fasteners. The insulating element is sandwiched between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, and the fasteners pass through the first electrode plate, the insulating element, and the second electrode plate to make the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate insulatedly connected.

[0011] In this embodiment, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate are separated by an insulating component and connected by fasteners to ensure that there is no short circuit between the fifth sub-board and the first electrode plate.

[0012] In some implementations, the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate extend along the cooling direction of the server to form a second ventilation zone extending along the cooling direction between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, the second ventilation zone being used for heat dissipation airflow.

[0013] In this embodiment, by configuring the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate to extend along the air cooling direction of the server, the surface of the first plate and the surface of the second plate are parallel to the air cooling direction of the server, thereby reducing the obstruction of the heat dissipation airflow by the power supply bus assembly and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0014] In some embodiments, the power supply bus assembly also includes a protective cover that covers the second plate; and the protective cover has a ventilation structure that communicates with the second ventilation zone.

[0015] In this embodiment, a protective cover is provided around the periphery of the second plate to prevent the second plate from colliding with surrounding devices and causing wear.

[0016] In some embodiments, the protective cover includes a base plate, and the ventilation structure includes ventilation holes disposed on the base plate, the ventilation holes communicating with a second ventilation zone.

[0017] In this embodiment, ventilation holes are provided on the protective cover, which can both protect the second plate and not obstruct the heat dissipation airflow.

[0018] In some embodiments, the server further includes a power supply, and the first board is connected to the power supply via a flexible structure; the flexible structure includes: The first connection part is connected to the power supply; The second connecting part is connected to the first plate. The flexible part is connected between the first connecting part and the second connecting part and is in a deformed state.

[0019] In this embodiment, the use of a flexible structure to connect the power supply and the first board helps to accommodate the assembly position deviations of the power supply and the first board installed in the chassis, improves the reliability of the locking surface fit, and enhances the connection stability of the power supply and the first board.

[0020] In some implementations, the power supply and the first board are positioned along the airflow direction of the server; When the dimension of the power supply along the air-cooling direction is within a first dimension range, the flexible part is configured to have a first dimension along the air-cooling direction in a free state; When the dimension of the power supply along the air-cooling direction is within the second dimension range, the flexible part is configured to have a second dimension along the air-cooling direction in a free state.

[0021] In this embodiment, the flexible part is configured to have a matching size in the air-cooling direction according to the size range of the power supply along the air-cooling direction in the free state, so that the power supply bus assembly can adapt to power supplies of different specifications, thus realizing a flexible adaptation design.

[0022] In some embodiments, the power supply bus assembly further includes a first electrical connector disposed on the second plate, the first electrical connector being plugged into the first assembly; When the dimension of the first component along the insertion direction is the third dimension, the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector is configured to be the fifth dimension; When the dimension of the first component along the insertion direction is the fourth dimension, the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector is configured to be the sixth dimension.

[0023] In this embodiment, by introducing a first electrical connector disposed on the second plate and configuring the insertion size of the first electrical connector according to the dimensions of the first component along the insertion direction, the power supply bus assembly can be adapted to first components of different specifications, ensuring a reliable connection between the first electrical connector and the first component in the insertion direction. In other words, multiple specifications of first components can be quickly adapted by replacing or adjusting the first electrical connector, improving the versatility of the power supply bus assembly.

[0024] In some embodiments, the power supply bus assembly further includes a second electrical connector disposed on the second plate, the second electrical connector being plugged into the second assembly; When the dimension of the second component along the insertion direction is the seventh dimension, the insertion dimension of the second electrical connector is configured to be the eighth dimension; When the dimension of the second component along the mating direction is the ninth dimension, the mating dimension of the second electrical connector is configured to be the tenth dimension.

[0025] In this embodiment, by introducing a second electrical connector disposed on the second plate and configuring the insertion size of the second electrical connector according to the dimensions of the second component along the insertion direction, the power supply bus assembly can be adapted to second components of different specifications, ensuring a reliable connection between the second electrical connector and the second component in the insertion direction. In other words, multiple specifications of second components can be quickly adapted by replacing or adjusting the second electrical connector, improving the versatility of the power supply bus assembly.

[0026] In some embodiments, the first component and / or the second component includes a first region and a second region along the relative direction of the two second plates, and the electronic components disposed in the first region and the second region are respectively electrically connected to the corresponding second plates.

[0027] In this embodiment, the third electrical connector of the second board corresponding to the first area is used to connect with the electronic devices in the first area; the third electrical connector of the second board corresponding to the second area is used to connect with the electronic devices in the second area, which helps to shorten the wiring length and optimize the wiring path.

[0036] Figure 1A This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a server provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0037] Reference Figure 1A As shown in the embodiment of this application, the server 1000 includes a chassis 300, and electronic devices are provided inside the chassis 300. The electronic devices are used to realize functions such as data processing, transmission, storage or resource coordination.

[0038] Here, server 1000 can be a node server, rack server, blade server, etc. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the type of server 1000.

[0039] In some implementations, the electronic devices may include, but are not limited to, devices such as a central processing unit (CPU), storage components, power supply components, and heat dissipation components.

[0040] Figure 1B This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a server provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 1C This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a server provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 , Figure 1B and Figure 1C The server structure is shown from two different perspectives.

[0041] Reference Figure 1B and Figure 1C As shown in the embodiments of this application, the server 1000 further includes a first component 100 and a second component 200.

[0042] Here, the first component 100 can be a node, such as a storage node or a computing node, and the second component 200 can be a fan module 202, etc. The embodiments of this application do not impose specific restrictions on the types of the first component 100 and the second component 200.

[0043] In some examples, computing nodes may include, but are not limited to, one or more processing units such as CPU and graphics processing unit (GPU). This application does not impose specific restrictions on the types of computing nodes.

[0044] In some embodiments, the chassis 300 is provided with a first accommodating space 301 and a second accommodating space 302, the first component 100 is disposed in the first accommodating space 301, and the second component 200 is disposed in the second accommodating space 302.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first accommodating space 301 and the second accommodating space 302 may be spaced apart along a first direction of the server 1000. Specifically, the first accommodating space 301 and the second accommodating space 302 have a first opening and a second opening respectively on their opposite sides along the first direction. Thus, the first component 100 can be inserted into the first accommodating space 301 through the first opening along the first direction, and the second component 200 can be inserted into the second accommodating space 302 through the second opening along the first direction. In other words, the first component 100 and the second component 200 are interlocked within the first accommodating space 301 and the second accommodating space 302 along the first direction.

[0046] Here, the first direction of server 1000 can be understood as the depth direction of the server, which can be referred to as... Figures 1A to 1C The direction shown in T1 is understood.

[0047] In some implementations, the server 1000 has a first accommodating space 301 along a second direction, and a first component 100 is disposed within the first accommodating space 301.

[0048] In other embodiments, the server 1000 is provided with at least two first accommodating spaces 301 along the second direction, and each first accommodating space 301 contains a first component 100.

[0049] In some examples, the server 1000 may have 2, 3, 4 or other numbers of first accommodating spaces 301 along the second direction. In this embodiment of the application, the number of first accommodating spaces 301 is not limited.

[0050] In some examples, the dimension of the first accommodating space 301 along the second direction is 1U (1U is 44.55 mm). In this embodiment, the dimension of the first accommodating space 301 along the second direction is not specifically limited.

[0051] Here, the second direction of server 1000 can be understood as the height direction of server 1000, which can be referred to as... Figures 1A to 1C The direction shown in T2 can be understood as follows. The dimension of the first accommodating space 301 along the second direction can be understood as the distance between the relative inner walls of the first accommodating space 301 along the second direction.

[0052] Reference Figure 1B As shown, in some embodiments, the server 1000 uses air cooling for heat dissipation. The server 1000 has an air inlet at its front end along the first direction and an air outlet at its rear end along the first direction. Under the action of the fan module 202, cooling airflow enters the server 1000 through the air inlet, absorbs the heat from the electronic components inside the server 1000, and is then discharged to the outside of the server 1000 through the air outlet. Accordingly, the direction of the cooling airflow through the server 1000 is the air cooling direction F, which is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction T1.

[0053] In some implementations, the server 1000 may have a second accommodating space 302 along a third direction, and the second component 200 includes a fan disposed within the second accommodating space 302.

[0054] In other embodiments, the server 1000 has at least two second accommodating spaces 302 along a third direction, and the second component 200 includes at least two fans, each second accommodating space 302 having one fan to guide the distribution of heat dissipation airflow in the third direction of the server 1000.

[0055] In some examples, the server 1000 may have 2, 3, 4 or other numbers of second accommodating spaces 302 along a third direction. This application embodiment does not limit the number of second accommodating spaces 302.

[0056] Here, the third-party direction of server 1000 can be understood as the horizontal direction of server 1000, which can be referred to as... Figures 1A to 1C The direction shown in T3 is understood.

[0057] Figure 2A This is a schematic diagram of a server architecture provided in an embodiment of this application. Wherein, Figure 2A This illustration is only intended to briefly demonstrate the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of this application. For example, the wall thickness of the chassis 300 is not shown, but it should be understood that these structures have walls and should be understood based on the structures described in the text.

[0058] Reference Figure 2A As shown in the embodiment of this application, the server 1000 further includes a power supply assembly 400. The first assembly 100 and the second assembly 200 are located on opposite sides of the power supply assembly 400 along the air cooling direction F of the server 1000, and both the first assembly 100 and the second assembly 200 are connected to the power supply assembly 400.

[0059] In some examples, the power supply bus 400 can be a copper busbar that is conductive. This application does not limit the type of power supply bus 400.

[0060] Figure 2B This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply busbar assembly in a server provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0061] Reference Figure 2B As shown in the embodiment of this application, the power supply assembly 400 includes a first plate 401 and two second plates 402 (403). The two second plates 402 (403) are connected to the opposite ends of the first plate 401. The first plate 401 and the two second plates 402 (403) form a first ventilation area 404, which is used for the heat dissipation airflow of the server 1000.

[0062] According to the embodiments of this application, the server 1000 includes a first plate 401 and two second plates 402 (403) connected to its opposite ends, so that the first plate 401 and the two second plates 402 (403) form a first ventilation area 404, so that the heat dissipation airflow can flow through the first ventilation area 404 through the area where the power supply assembly 400 is located, thereby improving the smoothness of the internal airflow of the server 1000 and enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0063] In this embodiment, the surfaces of the first plate 401 and the second plate 402 (403) are both parallel to the cooling direction F. Therefore, when the cooling airflow passes through the power supply assembly 400, the obstruction of the cooling airflow by the plate surfaces is minimal, effectively reducing the air resistance of the cooling airflow, improving the flow efficiency of the cooling airflow, and optimizing the heat dissipation conditions of the power supply assembly 400.

[0064] Here, the surfaces of the first plate 401 and the second plate 402 (403) are both parallel to the air cooling direction F. This can be understood as the angle between the plate surface and the air cooling direction F being 0° or small, such as 5°, 10°, 20°, etc., less than or equal to 45°. This ensures that the heat dissipation airflow will not collide with the plate surface, or that the airflow loss after collision is minimal.

[0065] Reference Figure 2B As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply assembly 400 includes a first electrode plate 4001 and a second electrode plate 4002 covering the first electrode plate 4001. The first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 are insulatedly connected to form a first plate body 401 and a second plate body 402 (403).

[0066] In some examples, the first electrode plate 4001 can be a positive electrode plate, and the second electrode plate 4002 can be a negative electrode plate.

[0067] In other examples, the first electrode plate 4001 can be a negative electrode plate, and the second electrode plate 4002 can be a positive electrode plate.

[0068] Therefore, the second electrode plate 4002 is placed on top of the first electrode plate 4001 and the two are insulatedly connected to form the first plate body 401 and the second plate body 402 (403). This allows the power supply assembly 400 to perform its electrical functions while the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 are stacked together to reduce the projected area of ​​the power supply assembly 400 in the air-cooling direction F, thereby reducing its occupation and obstruction of the internal air duct of the server 1000 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the server 1000.

[0069] Reference Figure 2B As shown, in some embodiments, the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 can be insulatedly connected in the following manner: The power supply assembly 400 also includes an insulating member 4003 and a fastener 4004. The insulating member 4003 is sandwiched between the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002. The fastener 4004 passes through the first electrode plate 4001, the insulating member 4003, and the second electrode plate 4002 to ensure that the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 are insulated from each other. Thus, the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 are separated by the insulating member 4003 and connected by the fastener 4004, ensuring that there is no short circuit between the fifth sub-board 4002b and the second sub-board 4001b.

[0070] In some examples, the insulating component 4003 can be an insulating plate to reduce the distance between the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002, thereby reducing the obstruction of the power supply bus assembly 400 to the heat dissipation airflow inside the server 1000 and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0071] Figure 2C This is a schematic diagram of a power supply busbar assembly in a server with its protective cover removed, according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 2C As shown, in some embodiments, the first electrode plate 4001 includes a first sub-plate 4001a, a second sub-plate 4001b, and a third sub-plate 4001c, with the first sub-plate 4001a and the third sub-plate 4001c connected to opposite ends of the second sub-plate 4001b. The second electrode plate 4002 includes a fourth sub-plate 4002a, a fifth sub-plate 4002b, and a sixth sub-plate 4002c, wherein the fourth sub-plate 4002a and the sixth sub-plate 4002c are connected to the opposite ends of the fifth sub-plate 4002b. The second sub-plate 4001b and the fifth sub-plate 4002b form the first plate 401, the first sub-plate 4001a and the fourth sub-plate 4002a form one of the two second plates 402 (403), and the third sub-plate 4001c and the sixth sub-plate 4002c form the other of the two second plates 402 (403).

[0072] It is easy to understand that the first electrode plate 4001 is divided into a first sub-plate 4001a, a second sub-plate 4001b and a third sub-plate 4001c, and the second electrode plate 4002 is divided into a fourth sub-plate 4002a, a fifth sub-plate 4002b and a sixth sub-plate 4002c. This is used to describe the structural composition of the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002, and does not constitute a limitation on their formation.

[0073] For example, in some embodiments, the first electrode plate 4001 can be integrally molded.

[0074] For example, in other embodiments, the first electrode plate 4001 can be made by welding together multiple plates.

[0075] In some embodiments, the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 extend along the air-cooling direction of the server 1000 to form a second ventilation area (not shown in the figure) extending along the air-cooling direction F between the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002. The second ventilation area is used for heat dissipation airflow.

[0076] Therefore, by configuring the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002 to extend along the air-cooling direction of the server 1000, the surface of the first plate 401 and the surface of the second plate 402 are parallel to the air-cooling direction of the server 1000, thereby reducing the obstruction of the power supply bus assembly 400 to the heat dissipation airflow and improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0077] Figure 2D This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply busbar assembly in a server provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0078] Reference Figure 2B and Figure 2D As shown, in some embodiments, the power supply assembly 400 further includes a protective cover 440, which covers the second plate 402 (403) and has a ventilation structure communicating with the second ventilation zone. Thus, the protective cover 440 covers the outer periphery of the second plate 402 (403) to prevent the second plate 402 (403) from colliding with surrounding devices and causing wear.

[0079] Here, the protective cover 440 may include two, with the two protective covers 440 respectively covering the two second plates 402 (403).

[0080] In some embodiments, the protective cover 440 includes a base plate 4401, and the ventilation structure includes ventilation holes 442 provided on the base plate 4401, the ventilation holes 442 communicating with the second ventilation zone. Thus, the protective cover 440 can both protect the second plate 402 and not obstruct the heat dissipation airflow.

[0081] Here, the ventilation hole 442 penetrates the base plate 4401 along the air cooling direction F to connect the second ventilation zone and the downstream of the server 1000 (which can be understood as being downstream of the power supply assembly 400 along the air cooling direction F), so that the heat dissipation airflow can flow downstream through the second ventilation zone and the ventilation hole 442.

[0082] In some examples, the ventilation holes 442 may include multiple ventilation holes 442 arranged at intervals on the base plate 4401.

[0083] The number of ventilation holes 442 in this embodiment is not limited and can be flexibly set while ensuring the structural strength of the protective cover 440.

[0084] Figure 3This is an exploded view of a server provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a server structure without a chassis provided in an embodiment of this application, showing the structure connecting the power supply assembly and the power supply unit.

[0085] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the server 1000 further includes a power supply 500, and the first board 401 is connected to the power supply 500 via a flexible structure. Therefore, using the flexible structure 700 to connect the power supply 500 and the first board 401 facilitates adaptation to assembly position deviations of the power supply 500 and the first board 401 within the chassis 300, improves the reliability of the locking surface fit, and enhances the connection stability of the power supply 500 and the first board 401.

[0086] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a flexible structure in a server provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0087] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the flexible structure 700 includes a first connecting portion 710, a second connecting portion 720, and a flexible portion 730 connected between the first connecting portion 710 and the second connecting portion 720; the first connecting portion 710 is connected to the power supply 500; the second connecting portion 720 is connected to the first plate 401; the flexible portion 730 is in a deformable state; thus, the first connecting portion 710 can be stably connected to the power supply 500, the second connecting portion 720 can be stably connected to the first plate 401, and the flexible portion 730 is placed between the first connecting portion 710 and the second connecting portion 720 to adapt to the assembly position deviation of the power board 600 or the power supply busbar body 430 installed in the chassis 300, thereby achieving a balance between connection stability and assembly adaptability.

[0088] In some examples, the power supply 500 is assembled in different positions along the first direction. The flexible part 730 adapts to the positional changes of the power supply 500 and is in different deformation states, so that the server 1000 can adapt to the power supply 500 with different assembly positions, which increases the configuration flexibility of the server 1000 and solves the problem of reliability of fit tolerance.

[0089] In some examples, the power supply 500 can be a dual-input power supply or a single-input power supply. This application embodiment does not limit the type of power supply 500.

[0090] In some embodiments, the first connecting portion 710 and the second connecting portion 720 are connected at an angle via the flexible portion 730. The first connecting portion 710 is electrically connected to the connection surface of the power supply 500, and both the first connecting portion 710 and the connection surface of the power supply 500 extend along a second direction. The second connecting portion 720 extends along a first direction, such that the projection of the flexible structure 700 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the power supply 500 in the first direction. In other words, the power supply 500 and the power supply bus assembly 400 can be arranged along the second direction to reduce the space occupation of the server 1000 in the first direction caused by the introduction of the flexible structure 700, thereby improving the space utilization of the chassis 300.

[0091] In some implementations, the power supply 500 and the first board 401 are arranged along the air-cooling direction of the server 1000; When the dimension of the power supply 500 along the air-cooling direction is within a first dimension range, the flexible part is configured to have a first dimension along the air-cooling direction in a free state; When the dimension of the power supply along the air-cooling direction is within the second dimension range, the flexible part is configured to have a second dimension along the air-cooling direction in a free state.

[0092] According to the server 1000 provided in the embodiments of this application: based on the size range of the power supply 500 along the air cooling direction, the flexible part 730 is configured to have a matching size along the air cooling direction in the free state, so that the power supply assembly 400 can adapt to power supplies 500 of different specifications, thus realizing a flexible adaptation design.

[0093] In some examples, if the first dimension range of the power supply 500 along the air-cooling direction is a1±b1, it indicates that the nominal dimension of the power supply 500 along the air-cooling direction is a1, and the manufacturing tolerance is ±b1. In this case, the first dimension of the flexible part 730 is c1. Correspondingly, if the second dimension range of the power supply 500 along the air-cooling direction is a2±b2, it indicates that the nominal dimension of the power supply 500 along the air-cooling direction is a2, and the manufacturing tolerance is ±b2. In this case, the second dimension of the flexible part 730 is c2.

[0094] If a2 is greater than a1, then c2 is greater than c1.

[0095] If a2 is less than a1, then c2 is less than c1.

[0096] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a power supply board in a server provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0097] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 2AAs shown, in some embodiments, the server 1000 also includes a power board 600, through which the power supply 500 is connected to the first board 401.

[0098] In some embodiments, the power supply 500 may be stacked with the second component 200 in the chassis 300 along a second direction.

[0099] In some examples, the chassis 300 may be provided with a third accommodating space 303, in which the power supply 500 is inserted or partially extends out of the third accommodating space 303.

[0100] Here, the power supply 500 can be a power supply unit (PSU), and this application embodiment does not limit the type of power supply 500.

[0101] In some examples, the power board 600 can be a power distribution board (PDB), and this application embodiment does not limit the type of power board 600.

[0102] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the power board 600 is electrically connected to the power supply 500 via a power bracket 6001. In other words, the first conductive part 620 on the power board 600 passes through the power bracket 6001 and makes electrical contact with the second conductive part of the power supply 500. The power bracket 6001 helps to achieve the stability of the electrical contact between the first conductive part 620 and the second conductive part.

[0103] In some embodiments, the power board 600 and the power bracket 6001 can be fixedly connected by fasteners. In this application embodiment, there is no limitation on the fixed connection method between the power board 600 and the power bracket 6001.

[0104] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the chassis 300 is provided with a first connecting bracket (not shown), and the outer wall of the power supply bracket 6001 may be provided with a connecting part. By fasteners passing through the first connecting bracket and the connecting part, the power supply bracket 6001 is fixed to the chassis 300, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the power board 600 and the chassis 300, ensuring the structural reliability even when in a vibration environment during transportation.

[0105] It should be noted that the fixed connection between the power board 600 and the chassis 300 via the first connecting bracket and the connecting part is only an example, and the embodiments of this application do not impose specific restrictions on the fixed connection method between the power board 600 and the chassis 300.

[0106] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 2AAs shown, in some embodiments, the power board 600 is provided with a plurality of first connection terminals 610, and the power supply bus body 430 includes a plurality of second connection terminals 434; the flexible structure 700 includes a plurality of such structures, each flexible structure 700 connecting at least one first connection terminal 610 and at least one second connection terminal 434. Therefore, the number of first connection terminals 610 and second connection terminals 434 that each flexible structure 700 needs to adapt to is reduced, which can reduce the total positional deviation of the first connection terminals 610 or second connection terminals 434 caused by the assembly positional deviation of the power board 600 or power supply bus body 430 installed in the chassis 300, thereby reducing the flexibility requirements of the flexible structure 700 and improving assembly performance.

[0107] Reference Figure 2B As shown in the embodiment of this application, the power supply assembly 400 further includes a first electrical connector 410 disposed on the second plate 402 (403), and the first electrical connector 410 is plugged into the first assembly 100.

[0108] When the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction is the third dimension, the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector 410 is configured as the fifth dimension; When the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction is the fourth dimension, the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector 410 is configured as the sixth dimension.

[0109] Here, the insertion direction is parallel or approximately parallel to the first direction and the air-cooling direction.

[0110] Here, the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction can be understood as the distance between the relative outer walls of the first component 100 along the first direction. The insertion dimension of the first electrical connector 410 can be understood as the distance between the relative outer walls of the first electrical connector 410 along the first direction.

[0111] Therefore, by introducing a first electrical connector 410 located on the second plate 402 (403), and configuring the insertion size of the first electrical connector 410 according to the dimensions of the first component 100 along the insertion direction, the power supply assembly 400 can be adapted to first components 100 of different specifications, ensuring a reliable connection between the first electrical connector 410 and the first component 100 in the insertion direction. In other words, multiple specifications of first components 100 can be quickly adapted by replacing or adjusting the first electrical connector 410, thus improving the versatility of the power supply assembly 400.

[0112] In some examples, if the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction is the third dimension e1, then the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector 410 is the fifth dimension f1. Correspondingly, if the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction is the fourth dimension e2, then the insertion dimension of the first electrical connector 410 is the sixth dimension f2.

[0113] If e2 is greater than e1, then f2 is greater than f1.

[0114] If e2 is less than e2, then f2 is less than f1.

[0115] Reference Figure 2D As shown in the embodiment of this application, the power supply assembly 400 further includes a second electrical connector 420 disposed on the second plate 402 (403), and the second electrical connector 420 is plugged into the second assembly 200.

[0116] When the dimension of the second component 200 along the insertion direction is the seventh dimension, the insertion dimension of the second electrical connector 420 is configured to be the eighth dimension; When the dimension of the second component 200 along the insertion direction is the ninth dimension, the insertion dimension of the second electrical connector 420 is configured to be the tenth dimension.

[0117] Here, the dimension of the second component 200 along the insertion direction can be understood as the distance between the relative outer walls of the second component 200 along the first direction.

[0118] Here, the dimension of the second component 200 along the insertion direction can be understood as the distance between the relative outer walls of the second component 200 along the first direction. The insertion dimension of the second electrical connector 420 can be understood as the distance between the relative outer walls of the second electrical connector 420 along the first direction.

[0119] Therefore, by introducing a second electrical connector 420 located on the second plate 402 (403), and configuring the insertion size of the second electrical connector 420 according to the dimensions of the second component 200 along the insertion direction, the power supply assembly 400 can be adapted to second components 200 of different specifications, ensuring a reliable connection between the second electrical connector 420 and the second component 200 in the insertion direction. In other words, multiple specifications of second components 200 can be quickly adapted by replacing or adjusting the second electrical connector 420, improving the versatility of the power supply assembly 400.

[0120] In some examples, if the dimension of the second component 200 along the insertion direction is the seventh dimension g1, then the insertion dimension of the second electrical connector 420 is the ninth dimension h1. Correspondingly, if the dimension of the first component 100 along the insertion direction is the eighth dimension g2, then the insertion dimension of the second electrical connector 420 is the tenth dimension h2.

[0121] If g2 is greater than g1, then h2 is greater than h1.

[0122] If g2 is less than g1, then h2 is less than h1.

[0123] Figure 7AThis is an exploded structural diagram of a power supply busbar assembly provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7B This is a schematic diagram of the connection between the first component and the power supply busbar component in a server, as provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 7C yes Figure 7B A magnified structural diagram of point A in the middle.

[0124] Reference Figures 7A to 7C As shown, in some embodiments, the first component 100 is provided with a third electrical connector 110, and the first electrical connector 410 is plugged into the third electrical connector 110 to realize the electrical connection between the first component 100 and the second plate 402 (403).

[0125] In some examples, the third electrical connector 110 can be a bipolar duckbill connector, such as a 150A bipolar duckbill connector, which has a large current-carrying capacity to support the high power consumption performance of the first component 100.

[0126] The power supply signal is used to power the electronic devices within the first component 100, enabling them to perform their functions.

[0127] Reference Figure 7C As shown, in some embodiments, the third electrical connector 110 is disposed on the first wall 101 of the first component 100 facing the power supply bus assembly 400 along the first direction, and the first electrical connector 410 is connected to the side of the power supply bus body 430 close to the first component 100 along the first direction, so that the first electrical connector 410 and the third electrical connector 110 can be plugged in.

[0128] Reference Figure 7C As shown, in some examples, a first mounting hole (not shown) is provided on the first wall 101, and a third electrical connector 110 is inserted into the first mounting hole to be disposed on the first wall 101.

[0129] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only examples of the third electrical connector 110 being disposed on the first component 100. The embodiments of this application do not limit how the third electrical connector 110 is disposed on the first component 100.

[0130] Reference Figure 2B As shown, in some embodiments, a first gap 4301 is formed between the first electrode plate 4001 and the second electrode plate 4002; the first electrical connector 410 is inserted into the first gap 4301. Thus, by inserting the first electrical connector 410 into the first gap 4301, the first electrical connector 410 can obtain stable mechanical support, thereby improving the structural strength and stability.

[0131] In some embodiments, the first electrical connector 410 includes a first electrode plate 411, a second electrode plate 412, and an insulating sheet 413 sandwiched between the first electrode plate 411 and the second electrode plate 412; The first electrode plate 411 is in electrical contact with the fifth sub-plate 4002b, and the second electrode plate 412 is in electrical contact with the second sub-plate 4001b; The third electrical connector 110 includes a first electrical connection end (not shown in the figure) and a second electrical connection end 112. The first electrical connection end is in electrical contact with the first electrode plate 411; the second electrical connection end 112 is in electrical contact with the second electrode plate 412.

[0132] Therefore, taking the fifth sub-board 4002b electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 500 and the second sub-board 4001b electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 500 as an example, the power supply signal originates from the positive terminal of the power supply 500, passes through the second electrode plate 4002, the first electrode piece 411 of the first electrical connector 410, and the first electrical connection terminal of the third electrical connector 110, and enters the load circuit inside the first component 100. After flowing out of the load circuit inside the first component 100, it is transmitted to the negative terminal of the power supply 500 through the second electrical connection terminal 112 of the third electrical connector 110, the second electrode piece 412 of the first electrical connector 410, and the first electrode plate 4001. If the second electrode plate 4002 is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 500 and the first electrode plate 4001 is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 500, the opposite is true, which will not be elaborated here. Accordingly, power supply to the first component 100 is realized.

[0133] In some examples, server 1000 further includes a first connector 450, through which a first electrical connector 410 is connected to a first electrode plate 4001 and a second electrode plate 4002. In other words, the first electrical connector 410 is inserted into a first gap 4301, and the first connector 450 passes sequentially through the second electrode plate 4002, the first electrode piece 411, the insulating piece 413, the second electrode piece 412, and the first electrode plate 4001 to securely connect the first electrical connector 410 to the second plate 402 (403).

[0134] In some examples, the first electrode plate 411 and the insulating plate 413, and the second electrode plate 412 and the insulating plate 413 can be bonded together with insulating adhesive to improve the ease of installation of the first electrical connector 410 and the second plate 402 (403).

[0135] Figure 8A This is a schematic diagram illustrating the connection between a second component and a power supply busbar component in a server, as provided in an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 8A As shown, in some embodiments, the second component 200 is provided with a fourth electrical connector 210, and the second electrical connector 420 is plugged into the fourth electrical connector 210 to realize the connection between the second component 200 and the power supply bus assembly 400 so that the power supply signal is transmitted to the second component 200.

[0136] In some examples, the fourth electrical connector 210 can be a unipolar duckbill connector, such as a 170A unipolar duckbill connector. This application embodiment does not limit the type of the fourth electrical connector 210.

[0137] Figure 8B yes Figure 8A A magnified structural diagram at point B. (Refer to...) Figure 8B As shown, in some embodiments, the fourth electrical connector 210 is disposed on the back plate 201 of the second component 200 facing the power supply bus assembly 400 in the first direction, and the second electrical connector 420 is connected to the side of the power supply bus body 430 close to the second component 200 in the first direction, so that the second electrical connector 420 and the fourth electrical connector 210 are plugged in.

[0138] Reference Figure 8B As shown, in some embodiments, the server 1000 further includes a connecting fastener 220, through which the fourth electrical connector 210 is fixedly connected to the backplate 201. The connecting fastener 220 passes through the fourth electrical connector 210 and the backplate 201, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the second electrical connector 420 and the backplate 201.

[0139] It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples of the fourth electrical connector 210 being disposed in the second component 200, and the embodiments of this application do not limit how the fourth electrical connector 210 is disposed in the second component 200.

[0140] In some embodiments, the second electrical connector 420 includes a first electrode 421 and a second electrode 422 located on opposite sides of the power supply bus body 430. The first electrode 421 is electrically connected to the fifth daughter board 4002b, and the second electrode 422 is electrically connected to the second daughter board 4001b. The fourth electrical connector 210 is electrically connected to the first electrode 421 and the second electrode 422. Thus, by setting the second electrical connector 420 to the first electrode 421 and the second electrode 422 located on opposite sides of the second plate 402 (403), the structure of the second electrical connector 420 and the second plate 402 (403) is more compact, reducing space occupation.

[0141] In some embodiments, the first electrode 421 and the second electrode 422 include a fixing portion 4211 and an electrical connection portion 4212. The fixing portion 4211 is electrically connected to the second plate 402 (403), and the electrical connection portion 4212 is electrically connected to the fixing portion 4211 and the fourth electrical connector 210. A second gap 4302 is formed between the fixing portion 4211 and the second plate 402 (403) to accommodate the fourth electrical connector 210. Thus, the second gap 4302 formed between the fixing portion 4211 and the power supply bus body 430 provides insertion space for the fourth electrical connector 210, improving the ease of conductive connection between the fourth electrical connector 210 and the first electrode 421 or the second electrode 422.

[0142] In some embodiments, the server 1000 further includes a second connector 460, through which the second electrical connector 420 is detachably connected to the second plate 402 (403). In other words, the second connector 460 passes through the second electrode plate 4002, the second electrical connector 420, and the first electrode plate 4001 to securely connect the second electrical connector 420 to the second plate 402 (403).

[0143] In some embodiments, the fourth electrical connector 210 includes a first sub-connector 211 and a second sub-connector 212. The first sub-connector 211 is inserted into the first electrode 421 to achieve an electrical connection between the first sub-connector 211 and the first electrode 421. The second sub-connector 212 is inserted into the second electrode 422 to achieve an electrical connection between the second sub-connector 212 and the second electrode 422.

[0144] In some examples, the first sub-connector 211 and the second sub-connector 212 each have a clamping portion 213 for correspondingly clamping the first electrode 421 or the second electrode 422, and the clamping portion 213 is at least partially accommodated in the second gap 4302.

[0145] Using the above scheme, taking the fifth sub-board 4002b electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 500 and the second sub-board 4001b electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 500 as an example, the power supply signal originates from the positive terminal of the power supply 500, passes through the second electrode plate 4002, the electrical connection portion 4212 of the first electrode 421, and the clamping portion 213 of the first sub-connector 211, and is transmitted to the load circuit inside the second component 200. After flowing out from the load circuit inside the second component 200, it then passes through the clamping portion 213 of the second sub-connector 212, the electrical connection portion 4212 of the second electrode 422, and the first electrode plate 4001 to the negative terminal of the power supply 500. If the fifth sub-board 4002b is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the power supply 500 and the second sub-board 4001b is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the power supply 500, the opposite is true, and will not be elaborated further here. Accordingly, power supply to the second component 200 is achieved.

[0146] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the server in an application scenario provided by an embodiment of this application, illustrating the overall structure of a server in a server system provided by an embodiment of this application.

[0147] Reference Figure 9 As shown, in the server system, the rack 2000 is provided with a loading cavity 2001, and the server 1000 is loaded in the loading cavity 2001.

[0148] The cabinet 2000 can be, but is not limited to, rack-mount cabinets, liquid-cooled cabinets, etc. The embodiments of this application do not limit the type of cabinet 2000.

[0149] In some implementations, the rack 2000 may include a plurality of loading cavities 2001 spaced apart along a second direction, each loading cavity 2001 for loading a server 1000.

[0150] Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a first component in a server provided in an embodiment of this application, showing the internal structure of the first component.

[0151] Reference Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the first component and / or the second component include a first region and a second region along the relative direction of the two second plates 402 (403), and the electronic components disposed in the first region and the second region are electrically connected to the corresponding second plates 402 (403).

[0152] In some examples, the third electrical connector 110 of the second board 402 corresponding to the first zone is used to connect with electronic devices in the first zone via power supply cable 1002; the third electrical connector 110 of the second board 403 corresponding to the second zone is used to connect with electronic devices in the second zone via power supply cable 1002, which helps to shorten the routing length of the power supply cable 1002 and optimize the cable management path.

[0153] Combination Figure 2B and Figure 7A As shown, in some embodiments, the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b can be stacked along the second direction, and the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b are at least partially offset. At least a portion of the second connecting end 434 is provided in the overlapping portion 438, and the remainder is at least partially provided in the offset portion 437.

[0154] In some embodiments, the second connecting end 434 is configured as a first electrical connection hole, and the second connecting part 720 is provided with a second electrical connection hole. The second connecting part 720 and the second connecting end 434 are electrically connected by the first electrical connector 4341 passing through the first electrical connection hole and the second electrical connection hole.

[0155] In some embodiments, a first electrical connection hole located in the overlapping portion 438 penetrates the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b, and an insulating member 4003 is sandwiched between the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b. A first electrical connector 4341 passes through the first electrical connection hole and the second electrical connection hole to fix the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b together, and the insulating plate 433 insulates the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b from each other. Correspondingly, the second connection portion 720 is electrically connected to either the second sub-board 4001b or the fifth sub-board 4002b via the first electrical connector 4341 to form a power supply circuit. Thus, the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b function as power supply buses, and they are separated by the insulating plate 433 to prevent short circuits between the second sub-board 4001b and the fifth sub-board 4002b.

[0156] In some examples, the first electrical connector 4341 includes a limiting portion and a through portion connected to each other, the through portion passing through the first electrical connection hole and the second electrical connection hole. Accordingly, if the limiting portion is located between the first electrical connector 4341 and the fifth sub-board 4002b, then the second connecting portion 720 is electrically connected to the fifth sub-board 4002b (see...). Figure 2A If the limiting part is located between the first electrical connector 4341 and the second sub-board 4001b, then the second connecting part 720 is electrically connected to the second sub-board 4001b.

[0157] For example, if the first electrical connector 4341 is a screw, the limiting part can be a screw head and the through part can be a screw rod.

[0158] Taking a power board 600 including a positive output terminal and a negative output terminal, with a staggered portion 437 located on the second sub-board 4001b, and the fifth sub-board 4002b connected to the positive output terminal of the power board 600, and the second sub-board 4001b connected to the negative output terminal of the power board 600, the transmission path of the power supply signal from the power board 600 to the power supply busbar assembly 400 is illustrated. Specifically, the positive path involves the power supply signal being transmitted from the positive output terminal of the power board 600, through the flexible structure 700, the first electrical connector 4341 located on the overlapping portion 438 (the second connecting portion 720 is electrically connected to the fifth sub-board 4002b), and the first electrical connection hole on the fifth sub-board 4002b to the power supply busbar body 430.
