Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an electrical connection structure of a quick-detachable fan module applied to heat dissipation equipment, in particular to an improvement measure for the electrical connection structure between a fan unit and a fan electrical adapter plate. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of electronic technology, the demand for computer execution functions continues to increase. From the early small computers or servers with one processor, it has developed into shared server devices with multiple groups of servers at the same time. Compared with small servers, the data processing scale of such shared server devices is getting larger and larger, resulting in higher and higher requirements for overall execution power consumption, and the working heat generated by the execution operation is also increasing. Therefore, in order to provide sufficient heat dissipation for this large amount of working heat, for the above-mentioned shared servo center, a plurality of fans are usually arranged in parallel to form a fan module, and then a plurality of fan modules are used to form a fan wall to meet its needs. For server devices of different sizes or scales, fans of different sizes or specifications are usually used to adapt in combination to improve the quality application between various fan modules and heat dissipation efficiency. However, because each fan module contains a combination of multiple fan units, the operating power of each fan unit is concentrated from the electrical connection power supply of at least one motherboard of the servo device; the early electrical connection type is as follows Figure 1 As shown, the individual electrical connection wires 110 of each fan unit 11 incorporated into the fan module bracket 10 are directly pulled to the individual electrical socket assembly parts 120 on the motherboard 12. In this type of electrical connection, since the distances from each fan unit 11 to each electrical socket assembly part 120 on the motherboard 12 are different in length, it is easy to cause the electrical connection wires 110 to be chaotically intertwined and stacked between the fan unit 11 and the motherboard 12 after assembly. The assembly process requires re-line processing, and the electrical connection wires 110 span and occupy too much space in the chassis, seriously affecting the overall space utilization efficiency in the chassis.

[0003] To improve Figure 1 The missing fan module will cause Figure 2 The structure shown in the figure is proposed, in which the fan module bracket 10 is particularly provided with an outlet side 101 corresponding to the electrical connection line 110 of each fan unit 11, and a wire shielding cover 102 that can be assembled to shield the outlet side 101 is provided for the outlet side 101, and then the electrical connection lines 110 are gathered along the outlet side 101, and then combined and extended from the same end of the fan module bracket 10, and extended to be inserted into the outlet side 101. Figure 1The electrical sockets 120 on the motherboard 12 are shown; although this has the effect of initially folding and tidying up the electrical connections 110 of the fan units 11, the design has the above-mentioned defect that the electrical connections 110 are connected between the fan module and the motherboard 12, which directly affects the available space. There is still no obvious improvement measure. Therefore, when the fan module needs to be replaced or repaired and needs to be disassembled from the motherboard 12, the disassembly procedure is also extremely complicated and inconvenient, and there is still a need for improvement.

[0004] In order to improve the electrical connection problem of the fan module, there is also a Figure 3 The structural design shown is mainly that a fan adapter circuit board 103 is combined on the above-mentioned fan module bracket 10, and the circuit corresponding to each fan unit 11 is arranged on the adapter circuit board 103; an electrical connector 112 is provided on each fan unit 11, and an electrically connected member 104 is provided at a position corresponding to each electrical connector 112 on the adapter circuit board 103, so that a quick electrical connection combination can be applied between each other, and one end of the adapter circuit board 103 is electrically connected to the motherboard 12; in this way, the electrical connection problem between the above-mentioned fan units 11 and the motherboard 12 seems to have been fundamentally improved, and there will no longer be a disorder in cable connection and the lack of occupying too much usable space in the chassis; however, in order to provide the above-mentioned electrical connector 112 and the electrically connected member 104 for quick disconnection between each fan unit 11 and the adapter circuit board 103, since it is necessary to cooperate with the simultaneous electrical connection plug-in of multiple sets of fan units 11, the plug-in positions of each other must all correspond accurately, and In order to match the type and specification of the fan unit 11, the adapter circuit board 103 of each fan can only be applied to one size of fan unit 11, so that fan units 11 of different sizes or models need to be respectively designed with corresponding adapter circuit boards 103, which increases the production cost and greatly limits the commonality of fan units 11 or adapter circuit boards 103 of a single specification. Although the creator of the previous case subsequently provided a single adapter circuit board 103 with two different specifications of electrical connectors 112 and electrically connected components 104 to improve the applicability of the single adapter circuit board 103, this change not only directly increases the layout complexity of the adapter circuit board 103, but also requires the simultaneous assembly of two sets of electrical connectors 112 and electrically connected components 104 of different specifications on the single adapter circuit board 103, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the adapter circuit board 103, and there is still a need for further improvement.
