Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a server module and a server having the same. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the server technology field, storage product modules are generally designed with a pluggable structure to meet the maintenance and upgrade needs of the equipment during operation and ensure business continuity. Specifically, the plugging and unplugging of server modules is usually achieved through a handle, and the design of the handle directly affects the convenience and safety of the plugging and unplugging process.

[0003] In existing technologies, module handles mostly employ a single-lever structure, meaning that rotating the handle directly pries the module using a lever principle. However, this method of disassembling server modules has significant shortcomings in practice, specifically in the following aspects:

[0004] 1. Module tilting problem caused by uneven force distribution

[0005] During the process of inserting or removing server modules from the chassis, the angle between the handle and the module's prying point causes the module to be subjected to force in a direction that is not perpendicular to the chassis partition. This not only increases the risk of module tilting, but may also generate additional tension on the chassis partition, affecting the structural stability of the chassis and the normal insertion and removal of the module.

[0006] 2. Risk of chassis deformation and damage

[0007] When the single-lever handle is rotated to close, the direction of force at the point of force application on the chassis is not fixed. This may cause chassis deformation, especially when the chassis material is thin or insufficient in strength. The risk of deformation is more prominent, and long-term use may lead to chassis damage. Summary of the Invention

[0008] This application provides a server module and a server having the same, to at least solve the problem in the related art that the disassembly method of the server module not only increases the risk of tilting the module but also easily leads to deformation and damage of the chassis.

[0009] This application provides a server module, including: a module body having a mounting recess; a rotating body rotatably connected to the module body, the pivot axis of the rotating body being set at an angle to the push-pull surface of the module body inserted into or pulled out of the chassis; a mating block movably disposed within the mounting recess, the mating block having an installed state in which it extends into the mating recess of the chassis partition to limit and stop with the mating recess, and a disassembled state in which it is withdrawn from the mating recess; a transmission mechanism including a first link having a first pivot end and a driven part, the rotating body being movably connected to the first pivot end to drive the driven part to move through the first pivot end; the driven part being drivenly connected to the mating block to drive the mating block to switch between the installed state and the disassembled state; wherein, when the server module is inserted into the chassis and the rotating body rotates to the closed position, the rotating body drives the first link to move, so as to drive the mating block from the disassembled state to the installed state through the driven part.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission mechanism also includes a second link having a second pivot end and a driven end, the second pivot end being rotatably connected to the driven part, and the driven end being rotatably connected to the mating block.

[0011] Furthermore, the rotating body has a groove, the first pivot end has a first mounting hole, and the transmission mechanism further includes a first pin, which passes through the first mounting hole and the groove to connect the first connecting rod and the rotating body.

[0012] Furthermore, the mating block has a first protrusion, the second pivot end has a second mounting hole, the driven part has a third mounting hole, and the driven end has a fourth mounting hole; the transmission mechanism also includes: a second pin, which passes through the second mounting hole and the third mounting hole to connect the second connecting rod and the first connecting rod; wherein, the first protrusion extends into the fourth mounting hole and is limitedly fitted with the fourth mounting hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the first link also has a third pivot end, and the driven part is located between the first pivot end and the third pivot end; a third pin is provided on the module body, and the third pin passes through the third pivot end so that the third pivot end is rotatably connected to the module body.

[0014] Furthermore, the server module also includes a support structure, comprising a connecting portion and a first extension portion connected to each other, the connecting portion being connected to the module body, and the first extension portion extending toward a side away from the module body to support a rotating body in a closed position; wherein the rotating body is rotatably connected to the first extension portion.

[0015] Furthermore, the module body has a snap-fit ​​hole, and the server module also includes: a snap-fit ​​assembly, including a snap-fit ​​structure and an elastic structure. The snap-fit ​​structure is rotatably connected to the rotating body via a fourth pin. The snap-fit ​​structure includes a hook and an operating part. The operating part and the hook are located on both sides of the pivot axis of the snap-fit ​​structure. The elastic structure is connected to the operating part to apply an elastic force to the operating part, rotating about the pivot axis in a first direction to press the hook and the hole wall of the snap-fit ​​hole. When the rotating body is in the closed position, the hook extends into the snap-fit ​​hole to limit and stop with the snap-fit ​​hole, so that the snap-fit ​​assembly is in a locked state. By pressing the operating part, the elastic structure is compressed and the operating part rotates about the pivot axis in a second direction, so that the hook is withdrawn from the snap-fit ​​hole to separate from the snap-fit ​​hole, and the snap-fit ​​assembly switches from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first direction and the second direction are opposite.

[0016] Furthermore, the mounting recess is an inclined groove, and the extension direction of the inclined groove is set at an angle to the push-pull direction of the module body; the mating block includes: a body, having a second extension extending away from the side of the transmission mechanism; a second protrusion, and the first protrusion and the second protrusion are respectively disposed on two opposing surfaces of the body; wherein, the second protrusion extends into the inclined groove to slide along the extension direction of the inclined groove; the second extension extends into the mating recess in a third direction to limit and stop with the mating recess; the third direction is set at an angle to the extension direction of the inclined groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the server module also includes: a hinge, fixedly connected to the rotating body, the hinge passing through the first extension to connect the rotating body and the first extension; and a torsion spring, connected to the hinge, for applying an elastic force to the hinge to move toward the side away from the chassis.

[0018] This application also provides a server, including: a chassis, including a chassis partition, the chassis partition having a mating recess; the chassis having a mounting port; a server module, the server module being able to be pushed into the chassis or pulled out of the chassis via the mounting port; wherein, the server module is the aforementioned server module.

[0019] By applying the technical solution of this application, by setting a specific angle between the pivot axis of the rotating body and the push-pull surface, and by using the first link of the transmission mechanism to connect the rotating body and the mating block, the movement of the rotating body can smoothly drive the mating block into or out of the mating recess of the chassis partition during the insertion or removal of the server module from the chassis. This achieves the technical effect of fast and stable hot-swapping of the server module without the need for tools, and solves the problem in related technologies that the disassembly method of the server module not only increases the risk of module tilting but also easily leads to chassis deformation and damage. In this way, when the server module is inserted into the chassis and the rotating body rotates to the closed position, the rotating body drives the first connecting rod through the first pivot end, causing the driven part of the first connecting rod to drive the mating block from the disassembled state to the installed state, until it extends into the mating recess of the chassis partition to achieve reliable limit stop. When the server module is disassembled, the rotating body is operated in the opposite direction to the open position, and the movement path of the first connecting rod causes the mating block to exit the mating recess, achieving easy separation. The above disassembly method not only increases the stability of the server module insertion and removal process and reduces potential damage to the chassis and server module, but also greatly improves the operating efficiency and experience of maintenance personnel, especially under the condition that no additional tools are required, thus enhancing the practicality and maintainability of the product.

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] To address the problem that the disassembly method of server modules in related technologies not only increases the risk of module tilting but also easily leads to chassis deformation and damage, this application provides a server module and a server having the same.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the server module includes a module body 10, a rotating body 20, a mating block 40, and a transmission mechanism. The module body 10 has a mounting recess 12. The rotating body 20 is rotatably connected to the module body 10, and the pivot axis of the rotating body 20 is set at an angle to the push-pull surface of the module body 10 when it is inserted into or pulled out of the chassis 30. The mating block 40 is movably disposed in the mounting recess 12. The mating block 40 has an installed state in which it extends into the mating recess 51 of the chassis partition 50 to be limited and stopped by the mating recess 51, and a disassembled state in which it is withdrawn from the mating recess 51. The transmission mechanism includes a first link 60, which has a first pivot end 61 and a driven part 62. The rotating body 20 is movably connected to the first pivot end 61 to drive the driven part 62 to move through the first pivot end 61. The driven part 62 is drivenly connected to the mating block 40 to drive the mating block 40 to switch between the installed state and the disassembled state. When the server module is inserted into the chassis 30 and the rotating body 20 rotates to the closed position, the rotating body 20 drives the first connecting rod 60 to move, so as to drive the mating block 40 from the disassembled state to the installed state through the driven part 62.

[0035] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, by setting a specific angle between the pivot axis of the rotating body 20 and the push-pull surface, and by using the first connecting rod 60 of the transmission mechanism to connect the rotating body 20 and the mating block 40, the movement of the rotating body 20 can smoothly drive the mating block 40 into or out of the mating recess 51 of the chassis partition 50 during the process of inserting or pulling out the server module into the chassis 30. This achieves the technical effect of completing the fast and stable hot-swapping of the server module without the need for tool operation, and solves the problem in the related technology that the disassembly method of the server module not only increases the risk of module tilting but also easily leads to chassis deformation and damage. In this way, when the server module is inserted into the chassis 30 and the rotating body 20 rotates to the closed position, the rotating body 20 drives the first connecting rod 60 to move through the first pivot end 61. This causes the driven part 62 of the first connecting rod 60 to drive the mating block 40 to move from the disassembled state to the installed state, until it extends into the mating recess 51 of the chassis partition 50 to achieve reliable limiting and stopping. When the server module is disassembled, the rotating body 20 is operated in the opposite direction to the open position. The movement path of the first connecting rod 60 causes the mating block 40 to exit the mating recess 51, achieving easy separation. The above disassembly method not only increases the stability of the server module insertion and removal process and reduces potential damage to the chassis 30 and the server module, but also greatly improves the operating efficiency and experience of maintenance personnel. In particular, it enhances the practicality and maintainability of the product when no additional tools are required.

[0036] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7As shown, the transmission mechanism also includes a second link 70. The second link 70 has a second pivot end 71 and a driven end 72. The second pivot end 71 is rotatably connected to the driven part 62, and the driven end 72 is rotatably connected to the mating block 40. Thus, by adding a second link 70 to the transmission mechanism, and rotatably connecting its second pivot end 71 to the driven part 62 of the first link 60, and its driven end 72 to the mating block 40, this double-link transmission design further optimizes the insertion and removal operation between the module and the chassis.

[0037] In this embodiment, the rotating body 20, the first link 60, the second link 70, and the mating block 40 form a four-bar linkage mechanism. Compared to a typical single-rotating-part handle, this adds an extra four-bar linkage, resulting in a greater force-saving multiplier within the same width space and utilizing the module's depth space. This allows for more stringent force-saving insertion and removal of the module. Simultaneously, the aforementioned four-bar linkage mechanism more effectively converts the rotational force of the rotating body 20 into linear motion of the mating block 40, thereby achieving module insertion or removal with less operating force, significantly improving operational convenience and comfort.

[0038] In this embodiment, the use of a double linkage mechanism (first linkage 60 and second linkage 70) can more precisely control the movement trajectory of the mating block 40, ensuring that it smoothly extends into or out of the mating recess 51. This avoids uneven force distribution and module tilting problems that may be caused by simple lever action between components, and improves the stability of server module insertion and removal.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the rotating body 20 has a groove 21, the first pivot end 61 has a first mounting hole, and the transmission mechanism also includes a first pin 80. The first pin 80 passes through the first mounting hole and the groove 21 to connect the first connecting rod 60 and the rotating body 20. Thus, through the connection of the first pin 80, the first connecting rod 60 can accurately convert the rotational force of the rotating body 20 into the linear motion of the mating block 40, ensuring smooth force transmission during operation and improving the accuracy of module insertion and removal. Simultaneously, the groove 21 provides a guide for the first pivot end 61, ensuring that the first connecting rod 60 can move along a predetermined path when the rotating body 20 moves, avoiding unnecessary offset during rod movement and ensuring the smooth movement of the entire mechanism.

[0040] In this embodiment, the first pin 80 serves as a connector between the rotating body 20 and the first connecting rod 60. Its design can withstand repeated rotation and linear motion, effectively reducing wear and loosening at the connection and improving the reliability and durability of the transmission mechanism.

[0041] like Figure 7As shown, the mating block 40 has a first protrusion 41, a second pivot end 71 has a second mounting hole, a driven part 62 has a third mounting hole, and a driven end 72 has a fourth mounting hole. The transmission mechanism also includes a second pin 90, which passes through the second and third mounting holes to connect the second connecting rod 70 and the first connecting rod 60. The first protrusion 41 extends into the fourth mounting hole and engages with it. Thus, the second pin 90 serves as the connection point between the second connecting rod 70 and the first connecting rod 60, ensuring smooth force conversion and distribution. This allows the rotational force of the rotating body 20 to be efficiently transmitted to the mating block 40 via the first connecting rod 60 and then the second connecting rod 70, achieving multi-stage force amplification and precise control. Meanwhile, the limiting fit between the first protrusion 41 and the fourth mounting hole ensures that the driven end 72 can accurately drive the mating block 40 to move, thereby ensuring that the action flow of each component during the module insertion or removal process is coordinated and consistent, avoiding jamming and excessive wear during movement, and improving the overall smoothness and reliability.

[0042] In this embodiment, the precise connection between the second pin 90 and the first protrusion 41 effectively fixes the relative positions of each component during movement, enhances the stability and reliability of the entire transmission mechanism, and reduces the failure rate caused by loose or inaccurate connections between components.

[0043] like Figure 7 As shown, the first link 60 also has a third pivot end 63, and the driven part 62 is located between the first pivot end 61 and the third pivot end 63. A third pin 11 is provided on the module body 10, and the third pin 11 passes through the third pivot end 63 so that the third pivot end 63 is rotatably connected to the module body 10. In this way, the setting of the third pivot end 63 increases the lever arm length of the first link 60, and through the lever principle, further amplifies the rotational force of the rotating body 20, so that the mating block 40 can be inserted and withdrawn from the chassis partition mating recess 51 with less effort and more stability, and optimizes the convenience of hot-swapping operation. At the same time, the rotatable connection between the third pivot end 63 and the module body 10 allows the first link 60 to be finely adjusted according to actual needs during the process of pushing the mating block 40, thereby achieving more precise and smooth motion control, ensuring that the mating block 40 is accurately aligned with and withdrawn from the mating recess 51, and reducing the error and the risk of module tilting during operation.

[0044] In this embodiment, the aforementioned configuration of the third pin 11 provides a stable connection point between the first connecting rod 60 and the module body 10, increases the mechanical strength of the entire transmission mechanism, reduces wear caused by relative movement between components, and improves the stability and reliability of the mechanism in long-term use.

[0045] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 7As shown, the server module also includes a support structure 100. The support structure 100 includes a connecting portion 101 and a first extension 102 connected to each other. The connecting portion 101 is connected to the module body 10, and the first extension 102 extends toward the side away from the module body 10 to support the rotating body 20 in its closed position. The rotating body 20 is rotatably connected to the first extension 102. Thus, the first extension 102 extending away from the module body 10 provides stable support for the rotating body 20 in its closed position, ensuring the structural stability of the server module after it is inserted into the chassis 30, preventing the rotating body 20 from sagging or wobbling due to external forces or its own weight, and improving the overall reliability and aesthetics. Meanwhile, the support structure 100 is connected to the module body 10 through the connecting part 101, and the first extension part 102 supports the rotating body 20, which helps to balance the force generated when the module is inserted or pulled out, reduces the problem of chassis deformation or module tilting caused by uneven force on the module, and ensures the smoothness and safety of the hot-swap process.

[0046] In this embodiment, the rotatable connection between the first extension 102 and the rotating body 20 allows the rotating body 20 to smoothly complete the opening and closing actions under the guidance of the support structure 100, avoiding unnecessary friction or interference between the rotating body 20 and the module body 10 during operation, simplifying the overall operation process, and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0047] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the module body 10 has a snap-fit ​​hole 13, and the server module also includes a snap-fit ​​assembly 110. The snap-fit ​​assembly 110 includes a snap-fit ​​structure 111 and an elastic structure 112. The snap-fit ​​structure 111 is rotatably connected to the rotating body 20 via a fourth pin 120. The snap-fit ​​structure 111 includes a hook 1111 and an operating part 1112. The operating part 1112 and the hook 1111 are located on both sides of the pivot axis of the latching structure 111. The elastic structure 112 is connected to the operating part 1112 to apply an elastic force to the operating part 1112 to rotate around the pivot axis in a first direction to press the hook 1111 and the hole wall of the latching hole 13. When the rotating body 20 is in the closed position, the hook 1111 extends into the latching hole 13 to limit and stop with the latching hole 13, so that the latching assembly 110 is in the locked state. By pressing the operating part 1112, the elastic structure 112 is compressed and the operating part 1112 rotates around the pivot axis in a second direction, so that the hook 1111 is withdrawn out of the latching hole 13 to separate from the latching hole 13, and the latching assembly 110 switches from the locked state to the unlocked state. The first direction and the second direction are opposite. In this way, by combining the snap-fit ​​assembly 110, including the snap-fit ​​structure 111 and the elastic structure 112, and the limiting and stopping function of the rotating body 20 and the snap-fit ​​hole 13 of the module body 10, not only is the flexibility and convenience of server module insertion and removal operations improved, but also the stable fixation of the server module in the chassis is ensured, thereby improving the safety and service life of the overall structure. This is one of the key technologies for achieving efficient and safe hot-swapping of servers.

[0048] In this embodiment, the latching structure 111 is rotatably connected to the rotating body 20 via the fourth pin 120, allowing the operating part 1112 and the latch 1111 to rotate around the pivot axis in the first and second directions. This allows the user to easily lock the server module inside the chassis 30, while also unlocking it with a simple pressing operation, improving the flexibility and convenience of insertion and removal. When the rotating body 20 is in the closed position, the latch 1111 accurately extends into the latching hole 13 of the module body 10, forming a stable limiting stop with the hole wall, effectively fixing the position of the server module inside the chassis 30, preventing the module from accidentally loosening due to vibration or external force, and ensuring the safety and stability of the server during operation.

[0049] Specifically, the elastic structure 112 is connected to the operating part 1112, continuously applying elastic force to the operating part 1112, causing the hook 1111 to press against the wall of the locking hole 13. Even if the module is subjected to vibration during server operation or transportation, it can maintain a securely locked state. Simultaneously, this elastic force helps the hook 1111 to quickly exit the locking hole 13 during unlocking, improving unlocking speed and reliability. In this way, the user only needs to press the operating part 1112 to unlock the latch, simplifying the operation process, avoiding potential risks associated with using tools, and improving operational safety and efficiency. Furthermore, the limiting stop design of the hook 1111 and locking hole 13 in the latch assembly 110 prevents the module from shaking during server operation, reducing friction and wear between components, thereby extending the overall structural lifespan and reducing maintenance frequency and costs.

[0050] Optionally, the mounting recess 12 is an inclined groove, the extension direction of which is at an angle to the push-pull direction of the module body 10; the mating block 40 includes a body and a second protrusion. The body has a second extension 42 extending away from the side of the transmission mechanism. The first protrusion 41 and the second protrusion are respectively disposed on two opposing surfaces of the body. The second protrusion extends into the inclined groove to slide along the extension direction of the inclined groove; the second extension 42 extends into the mating recess 51 in a third direction to limit and stop with the mating recess 51; the third direction is at an angle to the extension direction of the inclined groove. In this way, the extension direction of the inclined groove is at an angle to the push-pull direction of the module body 10, so that when the module is inserted into the chassis partition, the second protrusion can slide naturally along the guide of the inclined groove, ensuring accurate alignment between the module and the chassis, avoiding module tilting or jamming during insertion, and improving the smoothness and reliability of insertion. Meanwhile, the sliding engagement of the second protrusion with the inclined groove, combined with the limiting stop of the first protrusion 41 and the mating recess 51, forms a multi-point contact structure, which effectively disperses the force of the module during the pushing and pulling process, reduces the situation of excessive force on a single point, protects the chassis partition and the module body 10, and reduces the risk of deformation or damage caused by force concentration.

[0051] In this embodiment, after the server module is fully inserted into the chassis 30, the second extension 42 extends into the mating recess 51 along the third direction and is stopped there. Since there is an angle between the third direction and the extension direction of the inclined groove, a self-locking effect can be achieved. Even under vibration or external impact during server operation, the server module can maintain a stable fixed state, which improves the safety and stability of server operation.

[0052] Optionally, the server module also includes a hinge and a torsion spring. The hinge is fixedly connected to the rotating body 20 and passes through the first extension 102 to connect the rotating body 20 and the first extension 102. The torsion spring is connected to the hinge to apply an elastic force to the hinge, moving it away from the chassis 30. Thus, the torsion spring, connected to the hinge and applying an elastic force to the hinge moving away from the chassis 30, allows the rotating body 20 to automatically return to its original position when no external force is applied. This simplifies user operation and ensures that the rotating body 20 quickly returns to its closed position after operation, thus stably fixing the module and avoiding potential problems caused by inaccurate manual reset. Simultaneously, the hinge's fixed connection to the rotating body 20 and its passage within the extension makes the rotation of the rotating body 20 smoother, reducing resistance during operation. The elastic force provided by the torsion spring further assists the rotation of the rotating body 20, allowing users to experience a more effortless operation when inserting or removing modules, reducing operational difficulty.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, this application also provides a server, including a chassis 30 and a server module 200. The chassis 30 includes a chassis partition 50, the chassis partition 50 having a mating recess 51; the chassis 30 has a mounting port 31. The server module 200 can be pushed into the chassis 30 or pulled out of the chassis 30 via the mounting port 31. The server module 200 is the aforementioned server module.

[0054] In this embodiment, by providing a mating recess 51 in the chassis partition 50, the server module 200 can be pushed into or pulled out of the chassis 30 via the mounting port 31 without requiring system downtime or tool assistance. This enables rapid and uninterrupted hardware replacement, greatly improving server maintenance efficiency and flexibility. Simultaneously, the design of the mating recess 51 ensures precise alignment of the server module 200 when inserted into the chassis 30, preventing tilting or misalignment and guaranteeing the reliability of electrical connections and the stability of signal transmission. Furthermore, this design provides secure fixation after the module is fully inserted, ensuring the module's safety and stability in the operating environment.

[0055] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0056] By setting a specific angle between the pivot axis of the rotating body and the push-pull surface, and by using the first link of the transmission mechanism to connect the rotating body and the mating block, the movement of the rotating body can smoothly drive the mating block into or out of the mating recess of the chassis partition during the insertion or removal of the server module from the chassis. This achieves the technical effect of fast and stable hot-swapping of server modules without the need for tools, and solves the problem that the disassembly method of server modules in related technologies not only increases the risk of module tilting but also easily leads to chassis deformation and damage. In this way, when the server module is inserted into the chassis and the rotating body rotates to the closed position, the rotating body drives the first connecting rod through the first pivot end, causing the driven part of the first connecting rod to drive the mating block from the disassembled state to the installed state, until it extends into the mating recess of the chassis partition to achieve reliable limit stop. When the server module is disassembled, the rotating body is operated in the opposite direction to the open position, and the movement path of the first connecting rod causes the mating block to exit the mating recess, achieving easy separation. The above disassembly method not only increases the stability of the server module insertion and removal process and reduces potential damage to the chassis and server module, but also greatly improves the operating efficiency and experience of maintenance personnel, especially under the condition that no additional tools are required, thus enhancing the practicality and maintainability of the product.
