Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of servers, and particularly to case lugs and servers. Background Art
[0002] Currently, case lugs of servers such as servers are usually connected and conducted with internal components by means of gold finger plugging or conductive connection. The case lugs only have a simple status indicator function, and the monitoring of the server operating status is mainly transmitted to external devices by means of wired transmission through components arranged inside the server chassis. The above methods have a complex overall structure and rely on components inside the chassis.
[0003] Some solutions use wireless transmission to achieve signal transmission. However, due to the nature of the server itself, wireless signals will affect the normal operation of components, and even cause the components to fail to work properly, having an adverse impact on the performance of the server. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] This application provides a case lug and a server to at least solve the problem of complex server monitoring structure in related technologies.
[0005] This application provides a case lug, including: a housing; a wireless module for wireless communication with external components, the wireless module having a first side facing the inside of the chassis and a second side opposite to the first side; a blocking member located on the first side of the wireless module to block the wireless signal of the wireless module from being transmitted to the inside of the chassis; a control member, the wireless module is electrically connected to the control member, a part of the control member is located inside the housing, the control member has an extending section located outside the housing, and the extending section has a connection structure for electrical connection with external components.
[0006] This application also provides a server, including a chassis, components, and the above-mentioned case lug, the components are arranged inside the chassis, and the case lug is arranged on the outer side surface of the chassis.
[0007] Through this application, a wireless module and a control component are integrally arranged inside the housing of the box ear, so that the box ear can cooperate with external components such as a remote terminal by relying on the wireless transmission function of the wireless module. Since the control component also cooperates with the components inside the chassis through a connection structure, the state of the server can be transmitted to the control component and then transmitted out through the wireless module via the control component, thereby realizing effective monitoring of the server state. In this way, the entire monitoring process can reduce the dependence on the components inside the chassis and reduce the structural complexity of the server. At the same time, based on the transmission of wireless signals, in order to avoid interference between the components inside the chassis and the wireless signals of the wireless module, in this embodiment, a blocking component is also arranged on the first side of the wireless module facing the inside of the chassis, that is, facing the components inside the chassis. The blocking component can block the transmission of wireless signals into the inside of the chassis, so that the wireless signals can only be transmitted in the direction away from the chassis. On the one hand, it can avoid the adverse effects of wireless signals on the components inside the chassis and ensure the stable and reliable operation of the wireless module and the components inside the chassis respectively. On the other hand, it can ensure that the wireless signals are radiated out as much as possible, so that the wireless signals can be effectively released and the signal interaction ability with the remote terminal can be improved.

[0019] To enable those skilled in the art of the present technology to better understand the solution of this application, the following further detailed description of this application will be given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0020] To solve the problem of the complex server monitoring structure in the related art, this application provides an ear and a server.
[0021] Embodiment 1
[0022] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, an ear includes a housing 10, a wireless module 20, a blocking member 30, and a control member 40. The wireless module 20 is used for wireless communication with external components. The wireless module 20 has a first side facing the inside of the chassis and a second side opposite to the first side. The blocking member 30 is located on the first side of the wireless module 20 and blocks the wireless signal of the wireless module 20 from being transmitted into the chassis. The wireless module 20 is electrically connected to the control member 40. A part of the control member 40 is located inside the housing 10. The control member 40 has an extending section 41 located outside the housing 10, and the extending section 41 has a connection structure for electrical connection with external components.
[0023] In this embodiment, the wireless module 20 and the control member 40 are integrally arranged inside the housing 10 of the ear, so that the ear can cooperate with external components such as a remote terminal depending on the wireless transmission function of the wireless module 20. Since the control member 40 also cooperates with the components inside the chassis through the connection structure, the state of the server can be transmitted to the control member 40 and transmitted out through the control member 40 via the wireless module 20, thereby realizing the effective monitoring of the server state. In this way, the entire monitoring process can reduce the dependence on the components inside the chassis and reduce the complexity of the server structure. At the same time, based on the transmission of wireless signals, in order to avoid mutual interference between the components inside the chassis and the wireless signals of the wireless module 20, this embodiment also provides a blocking member 30 on the first side of the wireless module 20 facing the inside of the chassis, that is, facing the components inside the chassis. The blocking member 30 can block the wireless signal from being transmitted into the chassis, so that the wireless signal can only be transmitted in the direction away from the chassis. On the one hand, it can avoid the adverse effects of the wireless signal on the components inside the chassis and ensure the stable and reliable operation of the wireless module 20 and the components inside the chassis respectively. On the other hand, it can ensure that the wireless signal is radiated out as much as possible, so that the wireless signal can be effectively released and the signal interaction ability with the remote terminal can be improved.
[0024] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the ear is provided on the chassis of the server as an example. The ear is generally located on the front side of the chassis. Based on the above method, the first side of the wireless module 20 is substantially the rear side of the wireless module 20. The front and rear in this embodiment refer to that when a person faces the server, the side of the server closer to the person is the front side, and the farther side is the rear side.
[0025] Optionally, the specific form and type of the blocking member 30 can be selected and set according to needs, as long as it can block or shield the wireless signal emitted by the wireless module 20. The blocking member 30 in this embodiment adopts a double-layer setting form, which specifically includes a first shielding layer and a second shielding layer. Among them, both the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer are in a sheet structure, and the two are stacked, and both are located on the first side of the wireless module 20, so that the wireless signal of the wireless module 20 is blocked by the two-layer structure of the first shielding layer and the second shielding layer, ensuring the blocking effect of the blocking member 30 on the wireless signal. Of course, the blocking member 30 can also be set to three layers, four layers or more layers, or can be set to a single layer.
[0026] The first shielding layer in this embodiment includes an electromagnetic interference pressure plate, and the second shielding layer includes a conductive foam. And the first shielding layer is farther from the wireless module 20 than the second shielding layer. Both the electromagnetic interference pressure plate and the conductive foam have the function of blocking the transmission of wireless signals and can prevent the wireless signal from being transmitted into the chassis. However, the conductive foam has a certain flexibility compared with the electromagnetic interference pressure plate. Therefore, in this embodiment, the conductive foam is arranged on the inner side close to the wireless module 20, so that the conductive foam can be in contact with the wireless module 20, so that the conductive foam also has the function of shock absorption and buffering, and can avoid damaging the wireless module 20 when the server vibrates during operation, and extend the service life.
[0027] In this embodiment, the wireless module 20 is arranged in the housing 10, so that the housing 10 can play a good protective role for the wireless module 20. At the same time, considering the transmission effect of the wireless signal, the housing 10 in this embodiment adopts a material with a low interference and shielding effect on the transmission of the wireless signal, so that the wireless signal can be effectively transmitted out of the housing 10. In this embodiment, an installation position 16 is arranged on the housing 10. The installation position 16 is located on the first side relative to the wireless module 20. The wireless module 20 is arranged in the housing 10 and located at the installation position 16. In this embodiment, it is preferably adopted that the installation position 16 is aligned with the wireless module 20, and the blocking member 30 is covered at the installation position 16, so that the blocking member 30 can block the signal transmission on the first side of the wireless module 20. The size of the blocking member 30 can be greater than or equal to the size of the wireless module 20, so as to ensure the blocking effect on the wireless signal.
[0028] Such as Figure 1As shown, the specific form of the installation position 16 can be set as required. The installation position 16 can be a solid structure, that is, an area is demarcated on the inner wall of the housing 10 as the installation position 16, and the wireless module 20 is aligned with the installation position 16. At this time, the blocking member 30 can be installed inside the housing 10 or outside the housing 10, as long as it is located at the installation position 16. This setting method is relatively simple, quick and convenient to install, and does not require too many additional settings. The blocking member 30 can be connected to the housing 10 by bonding, bolts or other means. Or, the installation position 16 can also adopt a through-hole structure, that is, a through-hole is provided on the side of the housing 10 facing the inside of the chassis, and the through-hole penetrates the side wall of the housing 10. At this time, the blocking member 30 is arranged in the through-hole and connected to the inner wall of the through-hole. Although this setting method has a relatively complex structure, since the blocking member 30 is embedded in the through-hole, the inner and outer surfaces of the housing 10 will not protrude due to the installation of the blocking member 30, ensuring the consistency of the surface of the housing 10 and facilitating the assembly setting between the housing 10 and the chassis.
[0029] The connection structure provided on the control member 40 in this embodiment can adopt a gold finger or a wire structure, etc., as long as it can cooperate with the components in the chassis to achieve electrical connection.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, in this embodiment, the box ear further includes an operating member 50. The operating member 50 is electrically connected to the control member 40. The housing 10 has a notch 11, and at least a part of the operating member 50 is located at the notch 11, that is, the operating member 50 is embedded at the notch 11, so as to facilitate personnel operation. The setting of the operating member 50 enables the box ear to not only have the function of external signal transmission, but also have an operating function, so that the display and control of the server status can be realized. The specific type of the operating member 50 can be set as required, and structures such as a knob, a button, a touch screen, etc. can be adopted. The operating member 50 in this embodiment adopts a button.
[0031] In this embodiment, since the operating member 50 is in the form of a button, the box ear of this embodiment further includes a reset member 70. The reset member 70 can adopt structures such as a reset buckle, and it has a certain elasticity itself, so as to assist the operating member 50 to achieve the reset of the operating member 50. Specifically, the operating member 50 is longitudinally arranged as a whole, and its upper end and lower end can be movably pressed relative to the housing 10. Cooperating with the control member 40, personnel can operate the operating member 50 to control the server state. Both the upper end and the lower end of the operating member 50 have an initial position and a pressed position under external force. The reset member 70 abuts against the operating member 50 and provides a reset force for the operating member 50 to move towards the initial position. In the initial position, the upper end or the lower end of the operating member 50 pops out correspondingly and is in a state where it can be pressed. When operation is required, personnel press the upper end or the lower end. The upper end or the lower end changes to the pressed position under pressure. At this time, the upper end or the lower end presses the reset member 70, causing the reset member 70 to deform to a certain extent. After the control member 40 receives the signal that the operating member 50 is pressed, it controls the server accordingly. After the personnel release the pressing force, the upper end or the lower end of the operating member 50 can be reset to the initial position under the action of the reset member 70 to prepare for the next press. Of course, according to different types of the operating member 50, whether the above-mentioned reset member 70 is provided and its specific type can be adjusted as needed, not limited to the setting method given in this embodiment, as long as it can cooperate with the operating member 50.
[0032] As Figure 3 shown, the box ear of this embodiment further includes an operation light guide member 60. The operation light guide member 60 is arranged at the operating member 50, and at least a part of the operation light guide member 60 is exposed outside the housing 10. The operation light guide member 60 is used to transmit the optical signal of the status light on the operating member 50 outside the housing 10, so as to facilitate personnel to judge the status of the operating member 50 and ensure the reliability and recognizability of personnel operation. The operation light guide member 60 can adopt forms such as a strip or a column. In this embodiment, a long slot is opened in the middle of the operating member 50. The operation light guide member 60 is in the form of a strip and is embedded in the long slot, so that the operation light guide member 60 corresponds to the position of the operating member 50, making it convenient for personnel to identify.
[0033] As Figure 1As shown, in addition to operating the light guide 60, the box ear of this embodiment further includes a light guide 80. Similar to the above-mentioned operating light guide 60, the light guide 80 is also used to transmit the light inside the housing 10. However, the difference is that the operating light guide 60 is used to transmit the optical signal of the operating member 50, while the light guide 80 is used to transmit the optical signal of the control member 40. Specifically, the control member 40 has an indicator light. The light guide 80 is arranged at the indicator light. An avoidance hole is formed in the housing 10, and the light guide 80 is embedded in the avoidance hole, so that the light guide 80 can transmit the optical signal of the indicator light to the outside of the housing 10, enabling personnel to simultaneously judge and identify the states of the operating member 50 and the control member 40.
[0034] As Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a housing part 12, an inner bracket 13, a pressing plate 14, and an outer bracket 15. Among them, the housing part 12 is the main part of the housing 10, which forms a receiving cavity. The housing part 12 can adopt an integral structure or a split structure, and is further divided into multiple sub-components, and the entire receiving cavity is formed by splicing the sub-components, so as to facilitate the installation of various components inside the housing 10. At least a part of the inner bracket 13 is located inside the receiving cavity. The inner bracket 13 is used to install various components, and the control member 40 is arranged on the inner bracket 13, so as to realize the installation and fixation of components such as the control member 40. Since the control member 40 has an extending section 41, the inner bracket 13 can also be correspondingly partially arranged inside the receiving cavity and partially extend out of the receiving cavity, so as to cooperate with the control member 40. A structure for connecting and cooperating with the chassis can also be arranged on the part of the inner bracket 13 that extends out of the receiving cavity. The pressing plate 14 plays a role in further fixing the control member 40. The pressing plate 14 is arranged inside the receiving cavity. The pressing plate 14 is connected to the housing part 12 and / or the inner bracket 13 and is pressed against the control member 40, so as to realize the stable installation of the control member 40. Different from the inner bracket 13 inside the receiving cavity, the outer bracket 15 is arranged on the outside of the housing part 12. The outer bracket 15 is used to connect with the chassis and plays a role in connecting the box ear with the chassis. Installation structures such as mounting holes can be arranged on the outer bracket 15 according to needs, so as to facilitate the connection and cooperation with the chassis. When the installation position 16 is a solid structure, the blocking member 30 can be arranged inside the housing part 12, or between the housing part 12 and the outer bracket 15, or on the side of the outer bracket 15 away from the housing part 12. When the installation position 16 is a through hole, the through hole can be only formed in the housing part 12, or can be formed on both the housing part 12 and the outer bracket 15.
[0035] This embodiment also provides a server, including a chassis, components, and the above-mentioned cabinet ears. Among them, the components can be devices such as a controller, memory, and hard disk. The components are arranged inside the chassis, and the cabinet ears are arranged on the outer side of the chassis, preferably at the edge corners of the front side. The cabinet ears can be connected to the chassis by means of bolts, snap connections, etc., to achieve wireless interaction between the server and people and to monitor the operating status of the server.
[0036] Embodiment 2
[0037] The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in the setting method of the wireless module 20.
[0038] As Figure 5 and Figure 6 shown, in this embodiment, considering that the housing 10 has a certain shielding effect on the wireless signal of the wireless module 20, and the housing 10 of some cabinet ears may have a strong signal shielding effect, thus in this embodiment, the wireless module 20 is arranged at the protruding section 41. In this way, the wireless module 20 is installed on the protruding section 41 of the control member 40, so that it is indirectly connected to the housing 10 through the control member 40 to achieve the installation and fixation of the wireless module 20. Since the wireless module 20 is located at the protruding section 41, the wireless module 20 is also located outside the housing 10, thus reducing or even eliminating the blocking effect of the housing 10 on the wireless signal and ensuring the effective transmission of the wireless signal.
[0039] As Figure 6 shown, correspondingly, the blocking member 30 covers the surface of the protruding section 41, so that the blocking member 30 is also located outside the housing 10. On the one hand, the blocking member 30 can cooperate with the wireless module 20 to achieve the blocking effect on the wireless signal, and on the other hand, it is convenient for installation. The component connected to the blocking member 30 can be the control member 40 or the housing 10, that is, the blocking member 30 can be connected to the control member 40 or the housing 10.
[0040] It should be noted that the "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.
[0041] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present application achieve the following technical effects:
[0042] 1. Solved the problem of complex server monitoring structure in the related art;
[0043] 2. Effectively monitored the server status in a wireless manner. The entire monitoring process can reduce the dependence on the components inside the chassis and reduce the complexity of the server structure;
[0044] 3. The blocking member blocks the transmission of wireless signals into the chassis, avoiding the adverse effects of wireless signals on the components inside the chassis, and ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the wireless module and the components inside the chassis respectively;
[0045] 4. The blocking member can also ensure that the wireless signals are radiated outwards as much as possible, enabling the effective release of wireless signals and improving the signal interaction ability with remote terminals;
[0046] 5. The operating member enables the box ear to not only have the function of external signal transmission but also have an operating function, so that the display and control of the server status can be realized.
[0047] The above has introduced in detail a box ear and a server provided by the present application. Specific examples are used in this article to elaborate on the principle and implementation manner of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and its core idea of the present application. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art in this technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, several improvements and modifications can still be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
