Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to a server face frame, a server box, and a server. Background Art

[0002] At this stage, with the continuous advancement of information technology and the rapid development of the market, facing complex and changing application scenarios and customer needs, existing server systems will have a variety of system combinations in order to meet the expectations and requirements of different user groups and industry fields for the performance and functions of server systems.

[0003] Furthermore, in the process of diverse server system configurations, since the input and output functions of the server system are fundamental and crucial requirements, each configuration has its own specific input and output interface requirements. Therefore, although the main architecture of the server system, such as the motherboard, power board, fan board, and other internal boards, generally remain consistent during the process of diversified configuration, the boards responsible for input and output functions (IO boards) will vary according to actual needs. This means that the type, number, and layout of the input and output interfaces will vary depending on the configuration requirements.

[0004] To meet these diverse interface requirements, existing server systems often change their input and output interface configurations by replacing the entire main frame during production. However, this entire frame replacement approach is not only costly and complex in practice, but also imposes significant costs and burdens on departments such as packaging R&D, procurement, warehousing, and company operations due to the large overall size of the main frame. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to address the defects of existing server systems such as high cost, cumbersome assembly and disassembly, and high transportation and warehousing costs when they are modified according to input and output interface requirements. A server face frame, a server box, and a server are proposed and designed to overcome the above-mentioned defects and achieve the purpose of simply and quickly modifying the input and output interfaces in the server system.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a server face frame, comprising a face frame body, a surface of which is provided with an opening, and an optional interface face frame detachably mounted at the opening. Because the present invention utilizes an assembled structure comprising a face frame body and an optional interface face frame, when configuring different input and output interfaces, the face frame body does not need to be modified. Instead, the input and output interface configuration can be quickly changed by flexibly replacing the optional interface face frame with a different part, thereby saving R&D, design, and production costs, simplifying the server system reconfiguration process, and improving product compatibility and competitiveness. Furthermore, because the optional interface face frame is small in size and has a simple, regular shape, it can also reduce corresponding procurement, warehousing, labor, and operating costs.

[0007] Furthermore, the face frame body is provided with at least one threaded hole on the periphery of the opening, and the optional interface face frame is provided with at least one mounting hole. The fastener passes through the mounting hole from the outside to the inside and is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the optional interface face frame and the face frame body.

[0008] Furthermore, the fastener is a spring bolt, and has good anti-loosening and shock-absorbing effects.

[0009] Furthermore, the face frame body is provided with at least one snap-fitting piece 1 on the periphery of the opening, and the optional interface face frame is provided with at least one gourd hole, which is hung together with the corresponding snap-fitting piece 1 to realize the detachable connection between the optional interface face frame and the face frame body.

[0010] Furthermore, the first clamping member is an I-shaped rivet, which is fixedly installed on the face frame body and can constrain the position of the face frame body.

[0011] Furthermore, the face frame body is provided with at least one snap-fitting part 2 at the edge of the opening, and the optional interface face frame is provided with at least one snap-fitting groove at the edge, which is snap-fitted with the corresponding snap-fitting part to constrain and fix the optional interface face frame.

[0012] Furthermore, the second clamping member is provided at the lower edge of the opening, and the clamping slot is provided at the lower edge of the optional interface face frame, with the opening of the clamping slot facing downward. In this case, the optional interface face frame can engage with the clamping member under the action of its own weight, thereby securing the lower edge of the optional interface face frame and ensuring the stability of the optional interface face frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the second clamping member is an I-shaped rivet, which is fixedly installed on the face frame body and cooperates with the corresponding clamping groove.

[0014] On the other hand, the present invention further provides a server case, which includes a case body, and the server face frame is provided on one side of the case body, and the configuration requirements of the corresponding input and output interfaces are met through the server face frame.

[0015] At the same time, the utility model also provides a server, which includes the above-mentioned server box.

[0016] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the utility model has the following advantages: 1. Since the utility model adopts an assembled structure of a face frame main body and an optional interface face frame, when configuring different input and output interfaces, it is not necessary to change the face frame main body. It is only necessary to flexibly replace different optional interface face frames locally to achieve the purpose of quickly changing the input and output interface configuration, thereby saving the cost of R&D design and production, simplifying the server system modification process, and improving product compatibility and competitiveness; 2. Since the utility model adopts a combination of gourd holes and I-shaped rivets to install the optional interface face frame, it can also make the entire disassembly and assembly process simple and quick, thereby greatly improving the corresponding replacement efficiency; since the utility model adopts special spring bolts instead of conventional ordinary bolts, it also has good anti-loosening and shock-absorbing effects; 3. Since the optional interface face frame is small in size and has a simple and regular shape, it can also reduce the corresponding procurement, warehousing, manpower and operating costs in subsequent transportation, management, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment provides a server face frame, which includes a face frame body 2. An opening 10 is provided on the surface of the face frame body 2 at a position for setting an IO interface, and an optional interface face frame 3 is detachably installed at the opening 10.

[0028] Specifically, if Figures 2 to 5 As shown, the face frame body 2 in the first embodiment is provided with at least one threaded hole on the periphery of the opening 10, and the optional interface face frame 3 in the first embodiment is provided with at least one mounting hole at the edge position. The number of the mounting holes is the same as the number of the threaded holes, and when the optional interface face frame 3 is placed at the corresponding position, each mounting hole is respectively arranged relative to the corresponding threaded hole, and the fastener 4 at each mounting hole passes through the mounting hole from the outside to the inside and is threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole, thereby realizing a detachable connection between the optional interface face frame 3 and the face frame body 2.

[0029] Furthermore, preferably, in order to prevent the fastener 4 from loosening due to the vibration of the server during long-term use, the fastener 4 in the present invention is preferably a spring bolt with good anti-loosening and shock-absorbing effects.

[0030] In order to simplify the entire assembly and disassembly process and improve the efficiency of the corresponding installation and disassembly operations, the present embodiment can reduce the number of threaded holes, mounting holes, and fasteners 4. For example, they are only provided on one side of the opening 10 and one side of the optional interface face frame 3. At the same time, at least one I-shaped rivet is provided as a clamping member 8 on the periphery of the opening 10, and at least one gourd hole 7 is provided on the edge of the optional interface face frame 3, so that each gourd hole 7 can be hooked together with a corresponding clamping member 8. In this way, when installing the optional interface face frame 3, the gourd hole 7 on the optional interface face frame 3 can be aligned with each clamping member 8, and the optional interface face frame 3 can be hooked to the face frame body 2 through the circular hole of the gourd hole 7. Then, the optional interface face frame 3 can be moved along the length of the gourd hole 7 until each clamping member 8 is located at the narrow hole position of the gourd hole 7. Finally, the fasteners 4 are installed in the mounting holes and threaded holes, thereby quickly completing the installation of the optional interface face frame 3 and improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0031] Based on this, since the first embodiment adopts an assembled structure of a face frame body 2 and an optional interface face frame 3, when configuring different input and output interfaces, it is not necessary to change the face frame body 2. It is only necessary to flexibly replace the optional interface face frame 3 with different IO interface areas 5 in part to achieve the purpose of quickly changing the input and output interface configuration, thereby saving R&D, design and production costs, simplifying the server system modification process, and improving product compatibility and competitiveness; at the same time, since the optional interface face frame 3 is small in size and has a simple regular shape, it can also reduce corresponding procurement, warehousing, manpower and operating costs in subsequent transportation, management, etc.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] The second embodiment provides a second server face frame. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference of the second embodiment is that, in addition to being provided with threaded holes and a first clamping part 8, the face frame body 2 in the second embodiment is also provided with a second clamping part 9. In addition to being provided with mounting holes and a gourd hole 7, the optional interface face frame 3 in the second embodiment is also provided with a clamping groove 6, and the clamping groove 6 can be clamped with the second clamping part 9 to fix the optional interface face frame 3.

[0034] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 As shown, the shape of the face frame body 2 in the second embodiment is preferably set to a rectangle, and a threaded hole is provided in the middle of the upper side of the opening 10, and a clamping member 8 is provided on both horizontal sides of the threaded hole and the left and right sides of the opening 10, and a clamping member 9 is provided on the lower side of the opening 10, and the clamping member 8 and the clamping member 9 are preferably Figure 6The I-shaped rivet shown in the figure; the shape of the optional interface surface frame 3 in the second embodiment is also preferably rectangular, and a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the upper edge of the optional interface surface frame 3, and right gourd holes 7 are provided on the left and right sides of the mounting hole and the left and right edges of the optional interface surface frame 3. The length direction of the gourd hole 7 is the up and down direction, and the circular hole of the gourd hole 7 is provided at the lower end, and a snap-fit groove 6 is provided on the lower edge of the optional interface surface frame 3, the snap-fit groove 6 opening faces downward, and the number is preferably two. At this time, when installing the optional interface face frame 3, the first step is to align the snap-in groove 6 on the optional interface face frame 3 with the corresponding snap-in piece 2 9, and align the gourd hole 7 on the optional interface face frame 3 with each snap-in piece 1 8, and hang the optional interface face frame 3 on the face frame body 2 through the round hole of the gourd hole 7; then move the optional interface face frame 3 along the length direction of the gourd hole 7 until each snap-in piece 1 8 is located at the narrow hole position of the gourd hole 7, and each snap-in piece 2 9 is snap-fitted with the corresponding snap-in groove 6, and finally install the fastener 4 at the mounting hole and the threaded hole, thereby quickly completing the installation of the optional interface face frame 3 and improving the work efficiency of the staff.

[0035] Moreover, compared with the first embodiment, the structure of the second embodiment can reduce the width of the entire optional interface face frame 3 to avoid interference with the lower edge of the face frame body 2.

[0036] In addition, in addition to the above-mentioned setting orientations, the positions of the various holes and the snap-in grooves 6 at the edge of the optional interface surface frame 3 and the positions of the threaded holes and various snap-in parts at the edge of the opening 10 can also be flexibly changed according to the actual size of the server, and are not limited to the above-mentioned orientations; similarly, the shape of the opening 10 and the shape of the optional interface surface frame 3 are not limited to rectangles, and can be flexibly changed according to actual needs, as long as the two can be aligned and installed together.
