[0026] The present application provides a server, which has the same meaning as commonly understood by technicians in the technical field of the present application. The server includes a server box, which generally contains a central processing unit, hard disk, memory, system bus, etc.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the server box in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A partial enlarged view of point C in the middle. The server case provided in this application includes a shell 1 and a reinforcement member 2. Shell 1 is provided with a functional component mounting hole 13; reinforcement member 2 is an annular structure corresponding to the side wall of functional component mounting hole 13. Reinforcement member 2 is connected to shell 1 in alignment with functional component mounting hole 13 to reinforce shell 1.

[0028] By providing a reinforcing structure in a ring-shaped structure at the functional component mounting hole 13 , the functional component mounting hole 13 can be reinforced, thereby improving the structural strength of the functional component mounting hole 13 of the server box and improving reliability.

[0029] In the embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The functional component mounting holes 13 are used to mount corresponding functional components. There may be many types of functional components. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the functional components may include a power module, a storage module, or a processing module.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the functional component mounting hole 13 may be a through hole, that is, the functional component mounting hole 13 passes through the shell 1 along the thickness direction of the shell 1 and communicates with the inner cavity of the shell 1. In some embodiments of the present application, the functional component mounting hole 13 may also be a through hole.

[0031] In the embodiment of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The reinforcement member 2 is an annular structure corresponding to the side wall of the functional component mounting hole 13 , and the circumferential profile of the annular structure matches the circumferential profile of the functional component mounting hole 13 .

[0032] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The reinforcement member 2 can be made of metal material, for example, aluminum alloy, stainless steel or electro-galvanized steel plate, etc. In this way, the strength of the reinforcement member 2 is higher and the reinforcement effect is better.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is an exploded schematic diagram of a server enclosure in some embodiments of the present application. The main structure of the reinforcement member 2 is a shell-like structure extending in a first direction a corresponding to the sidewall of the functional component mounting hole 13. The first direction a refers to the axial direction of the functional component mounting hole 13. The shell-like structure includes a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, which are respectively supported on different sidewalls of the functional component mounting hole 13 or on different portions of the sidewall of the functional component mounting hole 13.

[0034] By forming the main structure of reinforcement member 2 into a shell-like structure extending in first direction a corresponding to the sidewall of functional component mounting hole 13, the shell-like structure supports the sidewall of functional component mounting hole 13, thereby increasing the bonding area between reinforcement member 2 and functional component mounting hole 13, thereby improving the reinforcement effect. The first and second connecting portions are respectively connected to different sidewalls of functional component mounting hole 13, or different portions of the sidewall of functional component mounting hole 13, thereby significantly strengthening the sidewall of functional component mounting hole 13 over a larger area, thereby improving the reinforcement effect.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The length of the shell-like structure in the first direction a is 10 to 30 mm. For example, it can be 12.5 mm, 15.0 mm, 17.8 mm, 20.0 mm, 25.0 mm, 27.0 mm, etc.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Along the circumference of the functional component mounting hole 13, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can be respectively arranged corresponding to the opposite side walls of the functional component mounting hole 13, or respectively arranged corresponding to the adjacent side walls of the functional component mounting hole 13, or can also be arranged corresponding to the same side wall of the functional component mounting hole 13.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The shell 1 includes a first transverse plate and a second transverse plate that are arranged opposite to each other, and a first longitudinal plate and a second longitudinal plate that are arranged opposite to each other between the first transverse plate and the second transverse plate. A rectangular functional component mounting hole 13 is formed between the first transverse plate, the second transverse plate, the first longitudinal plate and the second longitudinal plate. With this structural form, the functional component mounting hole 13 is surrounded by multiple plate-like structures, which can provide good support for the functional component, making the installation of the functional component more stable. Moreover, the functional component mounting hole 13 is surrounded by multiple plate-like structures, which is also conducive to increasing the bonding area between the shell-like structure and the side wall of the functional component mounting hole 13, and the reinforcement member 2 has a better reinforcement effect on the functional component mounting hole 13.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The shell 1 includes a first mounting portion 11 extending along the second direction b and arranged at the edge of the functional part mounting hole 13. The reinforcement 2 includes a first connecting portion corresponding to the first mounting portion 11. The first connecting portion is attached to the first mounting portion 11 and is connected to the first mounting portion 11 through a first fastener 3. The second direction b is perpendicular to the first direction a.

[0039] By connecting the first connecting portion and the first connecting portion together through the first fastener 3, it is beneficial to improve the stability of the reinforcement member 2 installation, thereby improving the reinforcement effect. It is understandable that in the embodiment of the present application, the first mounting portion 11 is a portion of the inner wall of the functional component mounting hole 13.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the first fastener 3 can be implemented in various forms. For example, it can be a screw, a bolt, or a rivet.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The housing 1 includes a second mounting portion 12 extending along a third direction d at the edge of the functional component mounting hole 13. The reinforcement member 2 includes a second connecting portion corresponding to the second mounting portion 12 and affixed to the second mounting portion 12. The third direction d is perpendicular to the first direction a and forms an angle with the second direction b, for example, perpendicular to the second direction b. This significantly strengthens the sidewall of the functional component mounting hole 13 over a wide area, thereby effectively enhancing the reinforcement effect.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first connecting portion can be the first longitudinal plate, the second connecting portion can be the first transverse plate, or the first connecting portion can be the first transverse plate, the second connecting portion can be the first longitudinal plate. This is conducive to improving the convenience of processing and manufacturing.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4and Figure 5 , Figure 4 This is a schematic structural diagram of a reinforcement member from a first perspective in some embodiments of the present application. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a reinforcement member in some embodiments of the present application from a second perspective. The reinforcement member 2 includes multiple connecting plates extending along a first direction a, which is the axial direction of the functional component mounting hole 13. The multiple connecting plates are distributed circumferentially around the functional component mounting hole 13 to form an annular structure. The connecting plates extend circumferentially around the functional component mounting hole 13, and at least one end of the extension direction has a flange that opposes and supports the adjacent connecting plates.

[0044] By making the reinforcement 2 include multiple connecting plates, and among the adjacent connecting plates, the flange on one connecting plate supports the other connecting plate, the strength of the mutually supported position is relatively high, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the reinforcement 2 along the circumferential corner of the functional component mounting hole 13, thereby improving the reinforcement effect.

[0045] It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present application, the flange on the connecting plate does not belong to the connecting plate. It is understandable that the flange extends along the first direction a.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The flanges that oppose and support the adjacent connecting plates can be formed on the edges of the connecting plates extending along the first direction a, which makes processing and manufacturing more convenient. Of course, in some embodiments of the present application, a second flange 27 can be provided at the second end of at least one connecting plate along the first direction a. At least one end of the second flange 27 is connected to the adjacent connecting plate via a second fastener 25 along the circumference of the functional component mounting hole 13. The axial direction of the second fastener 25 is the thickness direction of the adjacent connecting plate.

[0047] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The flange is connected to the adjacent connecting plate through a second fastener 25, and the axial direction of the second fastener 25 is the thickness direction of the adjacent connecting plate.

[0048] The flanges are connected to adjacent connecting plates via the second fasteners 25, which helps to improve the stability of the installation of the two adjacent connecting plates. In the embodiment of the present application, the second fasteners 25 can be implemented in various forms, for example, rivets, screws or bolts.

[0049] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5The multiple connecting plates include a first connecting plate 21, a second connecting plate 22, and a third connecting plate 23. Along the circumference of the functional component mounting hole 13, the first connecting plate 21, the third mounting plate, and the second mounting plate are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence. Two flanges are formed at each end of the third mounting plate, corresponding to the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22, respectively. Along the thickness direction of the first mounting plate, the flanges where the third mounting plate supports the first mounting plate are farther away from the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the first connecting plate 21. Along the thickness direction of the second mounting plate, the flanges where the third mounting plate supports the second mounting plate are closer to the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the second connecting plate 22. This helps improve the reliability of the reinforcement member 2.

[0050] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The multiple connecting plates include a second connecting plate 22, a third connecting plate 23, and a fourth connecting plate 24. Along the circumference of the functional component mounting hole 13, the third connecting plate 23, the second mounting plate, and the fourth mounting plate are sequentially arranged adjacent to each other. The end of the third mounting plate near the second connecting plate 22 has a flange corresponding to the second mounting plate, and the end of the second mounting plate near the fourth connecting plate 24 has a flange corresponding to the fourth mounting plate. Along the thickness direction of the second mounting plate, the flange supported by the third mounting plate and the second mounting plate is adjacent to the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the second connecting plate 22. Along the thickness direction of the fourth mounting plate, the flange supported by the second mounting plate and the fourth mounting plate is adjacent to the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the fourth connecting plate 24. This helps improve the reliability of the reinforcement 2. In some embodiments of the present application, the flange supported by the third mounting plate and the second mounting plate may be away from the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the second connecting plate 22 along the thickness direction of the second mounting plate, and the flange supported by the second mounting plate and the fourth mounting plate may be away from the central axis of the functional component mounting hole 13 relative to the fourth connecting plate 24 along the thickness direction of the fourth mounting plate.

[0051] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The circumferential contour of the functional component mounting hole 13 is rectangular. The multiple connecting plates include a first connecting plate 21 and a second connecting plate 22, which are positioned opposite each other, and a third connecting plate 23 and a fourth connecting plate 24, which are positioned opposite each other between the first connecting plate 21 and the second connecting plate 22. The first connecting plate 21, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 23, and the fourth connecting plate 24 are sequentially connected and arranged to form a rectangular shell-like structure. This structure provides a corresponding connecting plate on each side of the functional component mounting hole 13, providing a good reinforcement effect and facilitating manufacturing.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 Along the first direction a, a first flange 26 is provided at the first end of at least one connecting plate. The first flange 26 extends circumferentially along the functional component mounting hole 13. At least one end of the first flange 26 is integrally formed with the adjacent connecting plate along the circumference of the functional component mounting hole 13. This structural form, by integrating at least one end of the first flange 26 with the adjacent connecting plate, helps improve the strength of the reinforcement member 2.

[0053] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The first flange 26 is located at the end of the connecting plate near the interior of the housing 1. A fastener hole 261 is provided on the first flange 26. The fastener hole 261 extends in the first direction a. The reinforcement member 2 is connected to the housing 1 through the fastener hole 261. With this structure, the first flange 26 serves to increase the strength of the reinforcement member 2 while also providing connection to the housing 1. This improves the reinforcement effect of the reinforcement member 2 and enhances the compactness of the structure.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 The side surface of the connecting plate along the thickness direction close to the functional component mounting hole 13 is concave to form an avoidance groove 231, and the avoidance groove 231 can be used to avoid the handle of the power supply to facilitate the installation of the power supply.
