[0002] BBU (battery backup unit) is a battery backup unit that provides an important backup function for the system. When the power is interrupted or insufficient, the BBU module can ensure that the system has enough time to save important data and transfer operations to other servers.

[0003] The BBU module generally has the following working modes:

[0004] Sleep Mode: When the BBU is in shipping, storage or not connected to a power source, it reduces the discharge of the battery, thereby extending the storage time.

[0005] Standby mode: The BBU is fully charged and ready to discharge at any time. Its status can be seen on the upstream rack monitoring via the communication bus.

[0006] Discharge mode: When the PSU power voltage drops to a certain level, the BBU takes over and supplies power to the system.

[0007] The BBU module is usually installed in a module with the PSU power module so that the PSU power can charge the BBU module. When the BBU module needs to be assembled or replaced, the BBU module needs to be removed from the module and installed.

[0008] Traditional BBU modules usually use a plastic buckle as a locking mechanism, and the buckle is opened by pressing a button on the buckle. Due to the limitations of the BBU module production process, the original buckle often has problems such as being difficult to open, too tight, and easy to damage in actual applications, which has a poor production and maintenance experience for servers.

[0009] In order to solve the above problems, a BBU module installation structure with reliable locking and convenient assembly and disassembly operations is urgently needed. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiment. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0033] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the utility model discloses a BBU module installation structure, wherein the BBU module 2 is slidably and retractably installed with a slide bar 3 on both sides (left and right directions), and the outer end of the slide bar 3 is connected with a lock tongue 4 that can be positioned and inserted with the power supply module 1, that is, the power supply module 1 is provided with a groove for the BBU module 2 to be embedded, and the left and right side walls of the groove are provided with slots for positioning and inserting with the lock tongue 4; the upper side of the BBU module 2 is lifted and lowered with a cylindrical screw column 10, and the upper end of the screw column 10 is connected and installed with a pull ring 8, The lower end of the screw column 10 is connected with a block 11, the cross-section of the block 11 is square, and the block 11 is arranged coaxially with the screw column 10, and the side length of the cross-section of the block 11 is equal to the diameter of the screw column 10; it also includes a shift block 9 (the rotation axis direction is vertical) that can be rotatably installed on the BBU module 2, and the shift block 9 is provided with a slot 93 that can engage with the block 11, and the shift block 9 is also connected to a shift rod 91 that can retract the slide rod 3; the slide rod 3 is provided with a spring 7 that can elastically support it outward.

[0034] When in use, the pull ring 8 is lifted up to achieve the engagement of the block 11 with the slot 93. By rotating the pull ring 8, the screw column 10, the block 11, and the shift block 9 can be driven to rotate in turn, and the lever 91 can push the slide bar 3 inward, so that the BBU module 2 can be installed and removed from the power supply module 1 conveniently; and the spring 7 elastically supports the slide bar 3 outward, which effectively ensures the reliability of the installation of the BBU module 2 and avoids accidental disengagement. When the screw column 10 is in the descending state, the block 11 is disengaged from the slot 93, and the cylindrical screw column 10 is in the slot 93. The rotation operation of the pull ring 8 cannot be unlocked, which can effectively avoid misoperation and ensure safety in use. The overall structure is simple, easy to use, and practical, which effectively improves the production and maintenance experience of the server.

[0035] Among them, Figure 2As shown, the BBU module 2 is provided with a lock tongue slot 23 capable of guiding the sliding of the lock tongue 4; the BBU module 2 is provided with a guide block 22 that is slidably fitted with the slide bar 3. The lock tongue slot 23 guides the sliding of the lock tongue 4, and the guide block 22 guides the sliding of the slide bar 3, so that the slide bar 3 can slide left and right accurately and reliably. The lock tongue slot 23 has a rectangular cross section, and the lower edge of the outer end of the lock tongue 4 has a rounded corner. When the BBU module 2 is installed, the rounded corner guide can be used to directly press-fit, and the slide bar 3 can be prevented from rotating.

[0036] Further, such as Figure 2 As shown, a latch 5 is positioned and installed on the slide bar 3, and the lever 91 can press the latch 5 inward. The spring 7 is elastically supported between the latch 5 and the guide block 22. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, a stop ring 6 capable of abutting against the guide block 22 is installed at one end of the slide bar 3 away from the lock tongue 4. The stop ring 6 can limit the maximum length of the lock tongue 4 extending outward, prevent the slide bar 3 from slipping out of the guide block 22, and ensure the reliability and convenience of use.

[0038] Furthermore, the stop ring 6 is threadedly connected to the slide rod 3. The position of the stop ring 6 can be easily adjusted, the maximum extension length of the lock tongue 4 can be conveniently adjusted, and the convenience of overall disassembly and assembly can be achieved.

[0039] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, the end of the lever 91 away from the lever block 9 is connected with a ball head 92; the bolt buckle 5 is provided with a limiting groove 51, and the limiting groove 51 is provided with a guide groove 52 that can clamp and guide the ball head 92. The guide groove 52 clamps and guides the ball head 92, and limits the position, so that the bolt buckle 5 can be rotated and pushed, and the rotation angle of the lever 91 can be limited, and the friction force can be effectively reduced to ensure the labor-saving operation. Since the swing angle of the lever 91 is small, it will not interfere with the two side walls of the limiting groove 51.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, a mounting block 24 capable of supporting and limiting the shift block 9 is mounted on the lower side of the upper wall of the BBU module 2, and a position avoidance hole 25 capable of allowing the clamping block 11 to pass through is provided on the mounting block 24. By clamping and limiting the shift block 9 with the mounting block 24 and the upper wall of the BBU module 2, the reliability of the rotation of the shift block 9 can be achieved.

[0041] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the lower end of the block 11 is connected with a limit seat 12. The limit seat 12 is larger than the block 11, effectively limiting the lifting distance of the screw column 10, and ensuring the reliability of the engagement between the block 11 and the slot 93.

[0042] like Figure 1 , 3 As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the pull ring 8 is a semicircular ring structure, which is rotatably connected and installed with the upper end of the screw column 10 through a rotating shaft 82. Support parts 81 extend from both ends of the pull ring 8. A groove 21 capable of accommodating the pull ring 8 is provided on the upper side of the BBU module 2, and a magnet capable of attracting the pull ring 8 is provided in the groove 21. When not in use, the pull ring 8 is turned over and laid down in the groove 21, and the pull ring 8 is attracted by the magnet to prevent it from being opened by mistake; when unlocking is required, the pull ring 8 is pulled to make the pull ring 8 stand up, and the screw column 10 and the block 11 are automatically lifted up through the support of the support part 81, so that the block 11 is engaged with the slot 93, and the lock tongue 4 can be unlocked by rotating the pull ring 8. It has a simple structure, convenient operation and good usability.

[0043] Furthermore, a marking line is provided in the groove 21. When the rotating shaft 82 on the pull ring 8 is aligned with the marking line, the clamping block 11 is aligned with the clamping groove 93, and the lifting operation of the screw column 10 can be realized, thereby ensuring the convenience of use.

[0044] In another embodiment, the lever 91 may be a telescopic structure, and the lever 91 is rotatably connected to the buckle 5 .

[0045] When using the BBU module installation structure, the pull ring 8 is lifted to achieve the engagement of the block 11 with the slot 93. By rotating the pull ring 8, the screw column 10, the block 11, and the shift block 9 can be driven to rotate in turn, and the lever 91 can push the slide bar 3 inward, so that the BBU module 2 can be installed and removed from the power supply module 1 conveniently; and the spring 7 elastically supports the slide bar 3 outward, which effectively ensures the reliability of the installation of the BBU module 2 and avoids accidental disengagement. When the screw column 10 is in the descending state, the block 11 is disengaged from the slot 93, and the cylindrical screw column 10 is in the slot 93. The rotation operation of the pull ring 8 cannot be unlocked, which can effectively avoid misoperation and ensure safety in use. The overall structure is simple, easy to use, and practical, which effectively improves the production and maintenance experience of the server.
