Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present application relate to the technical field of computing devices, and in particular to a server. Background Art

[0002] A server provides services to clients in a network environment. It includes a chassis, which houses the server's hardware. The chassis protects the hardware, provides heat dissipation, and facilitates installation and maintenance. A server chassis typically also includes a power supply enclosure, which provides space for power modules to ensure proper installation.

[0003] In the related art, the power supply box is installed in a fixed position in the chassis and cannot be flexibly set based on the configuration inside the chassis. Utility Model Content

[0004] An embodiment of the present application provides a server, in which the power supply installation module can be flexibly installed in a chassis of the server.

[0005] According to a first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a server is provided, comprising a chassis and a power supply installation module. The chassis is provided with an assembly space, and the power supply installation module is pluggable and connected to the assembly space. The power supply installation module comprises a frame and a power supply, wherein the frame comprises a power supply backplane, the frame having a first end and a second end along a first direction, the power supply backplane being connected to the second end of the frame, and the frame having a storage space extending along the first direction, the first end of the frame having an opening communicating with the storage space, and the storage space being used to accommodate the power supply module. A compensation structure is connected to the outer surface of the frame, and the compensation structure cooperates with the assembly space to enable the power supply installation module to be pluggable and disposed within the assembly space.

[0006] The embodiment of the present application integrates the power module, the power backplane and the frame to form a power installation module, so that the power installation module can be flexibly and pluggably connected to the assembly space at any position of the chassis, thereby making the position of the power installation module in the chassis more flexible and able to make adaptive movements according to the layout of the internal structure of the chassis.

[0007] In a possible embodiment, the frame includes two opposite side panels extending along the first direction, and each side panel is provided with a compensation structure on a surface facing away from the accommodating space. The compensation structure extends along the first direction to the first end and the second end close to the frame respectively.

[0008] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing compensation structures on both side panels of the frame, both opposite ends of the power installation module can be connected to the chassis, making the connection between the power installation module and the chassis more stable.

[0009] In one possible embodiment, the compensation structure includes a main board, a top plate and a bottom plate. The main board is detachably connected to the side plate. The top plate and the bottom plate are both connected to the main board. The bottom plate is overlapped with the slide rails provided on the inner wall of the assembly space so that the frame can be slidably connected in the chassis through the bottom plate and the slide rails.

[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, the compensation structure includes a main board, a top board and a bottom board. The main board of the compensation structure can be connected to the frame, so that the entire compensation structure can be connected to the side panel of the frame. By setting the bottom board, the bottom board can cooperate with the slide rail of the chassis to realize the sliding connection between the power supply mounting module and the chassis.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the compensation structure further includes a positioning portion, the positioning portion is located on a side of the main board facing the first end of the frame, and the positioning portion is connected to the side plate.

[0012] In an embodiment of the present application, a positioning portion is provided, and the positioning portion is provided close to the first end of the frame. When the frame slides to a certain distance relative to the chassis, the slide rail can abut against the positioning portion, and the positioning portion can prevent the frame from continuing to slide relative to the chassis in the same direction, thereby limiting the sliding distance of the frame relative to the chassis.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the frame further includes a connecting plate, and two adjacent side plates are connected via the connecting plate, forming an accommodating space between the side plates and the connecting plate.

[0014] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing a connecting plate, the two side plates can be connected together, and an accommodating space for accommodating the power module can be formed between the connecting plate and the two side plates.

[0015] In a possible embodiment, the frame also includes an auxiliary part, which is located at the second end of the frame, and the two ends of the auxiliary part are respectively connected to the side panels. The auxiliary part is provided with an anti-foolproof part, which is located in the accommodating space and is used to cooperate with the groove on the power module.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present application, an auxiliary part is provided, and the two ends of the auxiliary part are respectively connected to the ends of the two side panels, so that the two side panels are not easily moved relative to or away from each other, thereby increasing the stability between the two side panels. By providing an anti-foolproof part, when the power module is placed in the accommodating space with a correct posture, the anti-foolproof part can cooperate with the groove on the power module. When the power module is placed in the accommodating space with an incorrect posture, the anti-foolproof part cannot cooperate with the groove on the power module. In this way, it can be judged whether the posture of the power module in the accommodating space is correct.

[0017] In a possible implementation, a first limiting member is provided on the side panel and / or a second limiting member is provided on the auxiliary member, and the power backplane is connected to the first limiting member and the second limiting member.

[0018] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first limiting member and the second limiting member, both the first limiting member and the second limiting member can be connected to the power backplane, thereby increasing the stability of the power backplane.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the frame further includes at least one partition, which is located in the accommodating space and divides the accommodating space into a plurality of subspaces arranged along the second direction, each subspace being used to accommodate the power module.

[0020] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting a partition, the accommodating space can be divided into multiple sub-spaces, each of which can accommodate a power module. The partition plate can play a partitioning role, separating the multiple power modules accommodated in the accommodating space so that two adjacent power modules do not contact each other.

[0021] In a possible embodiment, there are multiple frames, and a compensation structure is provided on the side panels of each frame;

[0022] The multiple frames are stacked and arranged along the third direction, and a middle partition is provided between two adjacent frames in the third direction.

[0023] In an embodiment of the present application, by setting a middle partition, the two frames can be connected together in the third direction, thereby increasing the height of the power installation module in the third direction, so that the power installation module of the present application can be adapted to install multiple power modules whose thickness is increased due to stacking together.

[0024] In a possible implementation, a connector is provided on a side of the power backplane facing away from the second end, and when the power installation structure is inserted into the assembly space, the connector is plugged into a power socket provided in the assembly space.

[0025] A second aspect of an embodiment of the present application provides a computing device, including the above-mentioned server. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0045] The power supply mounting module provided in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to computing devices, such as servers. The server primarily includes a chassis, an I / O module, a power supply mounting module, a processor, and other components. To integrate and mount the various components of the server within the chassis, the chassis is provided with a plurality of corresponding mounting locations, each of which is provided with a mounting structure connected to each component.

[0046] In an embodiment of the present application, the power supply installation module can flexibly set the installation structure according to the shape of different installation positions of the chassis to achieve compatible installation of the power supply installation module and different installation positions in the chassis, so that the power supply installation module can be installed at different installation positions of the chassis, thereby improving the flexibility of the installation position of the power supply installation module.

[0047] The server and computing device provided in the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below through specific implementation methods.

[0048] Figure 1 This is an exploded schematic diagram of a server provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 This is an exploded schematic diagram of the power supply installation module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the power backplane provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application provides a server, see Figure 1 As shown, it includes a chassis 01 and a power supply installation module 02. An assembly space 210 is provided on the chassis 01. The assembly space 210 forms an installation position for installing various components of the server. The power supply installation module 02 can be plugged and connected in the assembly space 210. The power supply installation module 02 of the embodiment of the present application can be plugged and set in the assembly space 210.

[0050] The power supply installation module 02 of the present embodiment may include a frame 10 and a power module 40. The frame 10 includes a power backplane 16, which is provided with a structure capable of plugging into the power module 40. The power backplane 16 functions as a power socket, capable of transmitting power from the power module 40 to power-consuming structures. A compensation structure 20 is provided on the outer surface of the frame 10, which fits within the assembly space.

[0051] In some implementations, a slide rail 220 is provided on the inner wall of the assembly space 210. The slide rail 220 can serve as a mounting structure for components within the assembly space 210. The compensation structure 20 of the power supply mounting module 02 of the embodiment of the present application can cooperate with the slide rail 220 to enable the power supply mounting module 02 to be slidably arranged within the assembly space 210.

[0052] For ease of description, see Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is defined as the X direction, the second direction is the Y direction, and the third direction is the Z direction. For example, the length direction or depth direction of the frame 10 is the X direction, the height direction of the frame 10 is the Z direction, and the width direction of the frame 10 is the Y direction.

[0053] Specifically, see Figure 2As shown, the frame 10 has a first end 11 and a second end 12 along a first direction (for example, the X direction), and the frame 10 has a receiving space 13 extending along the first direction (for example, the X direction). The first end 11 of the frame 10 has an opening communicating with the receiving space 13. The receiving space 13 is used to receive the power module 40, and the power module 40 can be plugged into the receiving space 13 from the opening of the first end 11.

[0054] It should be noted that when the power module 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 13 , it moves from the opening of the first end 11 along the first direction into the accommodating space 13 .

[0055] Also, please see Figure 3 The power backplane 16 is connected to the second end of the frame 10. The side of the power backplane 16 facing the accommodating space 13 of the frame 10 is provided with a connection terminal 161. When the power module 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 13, the end of the power module 40 facing the power backplane 16 can be connected to the connection terminal 161. The side of the power backplane 16 facing away from the connection terminal 161 (or the second end of the frame) is provided with a connector 162. The connector 162 on the power backplane 16 can be connected to the connector in the server. The chassis 01 is provided with a power socket in the assembly space 210. When the power installation module 02 is fully inserted into the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01, the connector 162 on the power backplane 16 can be plugged into the power socket.

[0056] The compensation structure 20 is used to slidably connect the frame 10 within the chassis, thereby allowing the power supply mounting module 02 to be movably disposed within the chassis. For example, the compensation structure 20 can cooperate with the slide rails 220 on the inner wall of the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01 to achieve the movable placement of the power supply mounting module 02 within the chassis. Of course, in some examples, the compensation structure 20 can be similar to a slider, and the inner wall of the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01 is provided with a slide groove, and the frame 10 is movable within the chassis through the cooperation of the slider and the slide groove.

[0057] In addition, the compensation structure 20 cooperates with the slide rail 220 on the inner wall of the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01 to guide the power installation module during movement, ensuring that the connector 162 of the power installation module is accurately plugged into the power socket provided in the chassis 01.

[0058] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application integrates the power module 40, the power backplane 16 and the frame 10 to form a power installation module, so that the power installation module can be flexibly pluggable and connected to the assembly space at any position of the chassis, thereby making the position of the power installation module in the chassis more flexible and able to make adaptive movements according to the layout of the internal structure of the chassis.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, a compensation structure 20 is provided on the frame 10 of the power installation module 02. The compensation structure 20 can cooperate with the installation position (e.g., the slide rail 220) in the chassis, so that the compensation structure 20 can slidably connect the frame 10 in the chassis, and the power installation module 02 can be smoothly accommodated in the assembly space 210 of the chassis. In this way, by providing the compensation structure 20, the installation position of the power installation module 02 in the chassis can be more flexible, avoiding the problem in the related art that the power module 40 can only be installed in a predetermined position or the frame 10 is fixed in the chassis 01, which is not conducive to the adjustment of the position of the power module 40. In addition, by providing the compensation structure 20, the frame 10 of the power installation module 02 can be slidably connected to the chassis 01, and the relative position between the power installation module 02 and the chassis 01 can be conveniently changed by sliding the power installation module 02 at the same installation position of the chassis 01.

[0060] Figure 4 It is an exploded schematic diagram of the frame provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] See also Figure 4 As shown, in some feasible embodiments, the frame 10 includes two opposite side panels 14 extending along a first direction, and each side panel 14 is provided with a compensation structure 20 on a surface facing away from the accommodating space 13, and both ends of the compensation structure 20 extend along the first direction to a first end 11 and a second end 12 close to the frame 10, respectively.

[0062] The assembly space 210 provided within the chassis is used to accommodate various components of the server. The power module 40 can be secured within the assembly space 210 via the power mounting module 02. The power mounting module 02 can slide within the assembly space 210 of the chassis through the cooperation between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rails 220. For example, when the power mounting module 02 enters the assembly space 210 of the chassis, the second end 12 of the frame 10 first enters through the opening of the assembly space 210. Then, the entire frame 10 slides along the direction between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rails 220 into the assembly space 210.

[0063] To ensure more stable sliding of the power supply mounting module 02, compensation structures 20 are provided at opposite ends of the power supply mounting module 02 (on the opposite sides of the two side panels 14). Corresponding slide rails 220 are also spaced apart within the assembly space 210 of the chassis. The two compensation structures 20 can abut against the corresponding slide rails 220. By providing the compensation structures 20 on both side panels 14 of the frame 10, the opposite ends of the power supply mounting module 02 can cooperate with the slide rails 220 within the chassis, making the power supply mounting module 02 more stable when sliding within the chassis.

[0064] The compensation structure 20 extends on the side panel 14 from the first end 11 close to the frame 10 to the second end 12 close to the frame 10, so that the length of the compensation structure 20 is approximately the same as the depth of the frame 10. Accordingly, the end of the slide rail 220 in the chassis is set to be close to the open end of the assembly space 210. In this way, when the second end 12 of the frame 10 enters the assembly space 210 in the chassis, the compensation structure 20 can be overlapped on the slide rail 220, facilitating the sliding connection between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rail 220.

[0065] In some possible ways, continue to see Figure 4 As shown, the frame 10 also includes a connecting plate 15, and two adjacent side panels 14 are connected by the connecting plate 15. The side panels 14 and the connecting plate 15 can be connected together by a screw structure or a rivet structure, or the side panels 14 and the connecting plate 15 can be integrally formed. In this case, the side panels 14 can be formed by bending the two ends of the connecting plate 15 in the same direction.

[0066] An accommodating space 13 is formed between the side panels 14 and the connecting panel 15 to accommodate the power module 40 . The shape and size of the accommodating space 13 match the external dimensions of the power module 40 .

[0067] See also Figure 2 As shown, when the power module 40 is accommodated in the accommodation space 13, to ensure that the power module 40 is secured relative to the power installation module 02, a resilient latch a is protruded from the power module 40. The latch a can be retracted into the power module 40 under the action of an external force. When the external force disappears, the latch a automatically pops out under the action of the elastic force. During the insertion of the power module 40 into the accommodation space 13, the latch a abuts against the side panel 14, which provides an external force for the latch a to retract into the power module 40. The side panel 14 also includes a power securing portion 142 that is compatible with the latch a. The power securing portion 142 is configured as a slot and is located in the movement path of the latch a. When the latch a moves to the slot position, the latch a returns to its original position under the action of the elastic force, allowing the latch a to be locked in the power securing portion 142, thereby preventing the power module 40 from being reversed and separated from the power installation module 02.

[0068] It is worth mentioning that, to prevent the power module 40 from moving laterally (toward the side panels 14), when the power module 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 13, the side walls of the power module 40 and the side panels 14 are in contact with each other, while the side panels 14 and the main board 22 of the compensation structure 20 can be connected by screws or rivets. When the main board 22 and the side panels 14 are connected by screws or rivets, the ends of the screws or rivets may protrude from the side panels 14 and extend into the accommodating space 13. In this case, if the power module 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 13, the ends of the screws or rivets may easily abut against the power module 40, preventing the power module 40 from being smoothly inserted into the accommodating space 13. The abutment between the power module 40 and the screws or rivets may even damage the power module 40. Therefore, when setting the side panel 14, a groove structure can also be set on the end face of the side panel 14 facing the accommodating space 13. The groove structure can provide a clearance space for the end of the screw or rivet. At the same time, the groove structure also provides a reference standard so that the end of the screw or rivet is located in the groove structure.

[0069] Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the compensation structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0070] See also Figure 5 As shown, in some feasible embodiments, the compensation structure 20 includes a main board 22, a top plate 23 and a bottom plate 24. The top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are both connected to the main board 22. The main board 22 is connected to the side plate 14. The bottom plate 24 is used to overlap the slide rail 220 provided on the inner wall of the chassis. When external force is applied to the power supply mounting module 02, the bottom plate 24 and the slide rail 220 can slide relative to each other, so that the frame 10 is slidably connected in the chassis through the bottom plate 24 and the slide rail 220.

[0071] For details, please refer to Figure 2 The main board 22 extends along a first direction, and the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 both extend along the first direction. The top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are respectively connected to the ends of the main board 22 perpendicular to the first direction. The top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 can be connected to the main board 22 via a connection structure, for example, the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are fixed to the main board 22 via a snap-fit structure, a buckle structure, or screws, or the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are integrally formed with the main board 22. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 24 and the top plate 23 are integrally formed with the main board 22 as an example for description.

[0072] The top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 are located on the same side of the main plate 22, and the ends of the top plate 23 and the bottom plate 24 facing away from the main plate 22 abut against the side plate 14, creating a gap between the main plate 22 and the side plate 14. This allows the entire compensation structure 20 to protrude from the side plate 14. By creating a gap between the main plate 22 and the side plate 14 so that the compensation structure 20 protrudes from the side plate 14, the thickness of the main plate 22 can be set relatively thin, which not only reduces weight but also saves material and reduces manufacturing costs.

[0073] In some examples, the motherboard 22 is detachably connected to the side panel 14. The motherboard 22 can be connected to the side panel 14 by a snap-fit structure, a buckle structure, or a screw structure or a rivet structure. It should be noted that when the power supply mounting module 02 is accommodated in the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01, the bottom plate 24 abuts against the slide rail 220, and the side of the motherboard 22 facing away from the side panel 14 is disposed close to the chassis 01 of the chassis. When the power supply mounting module 02 is fixed to the chassis, a screw structure or a rivet structure is required to connect the chassis 01 and the motherboard 22. In the embodiment of the present application, the motherboard 22 is detachably connected to the side panel 14, so that the compensation structure 20 is detachably connected to the frame 10 of the power supply mounting module 02. In this way, by changing the type of the compensation structure 20, more types of slide rails 220 can be adapted, so that the power supply mounting module 02 can be compatible with more device installation positions in the chassis 01, making the installation position of the power supply mounting module 02 in the chassis more flexible.

[0074] Because the connection between the mainboard 22 of the compensation structure 20 and the chassis 01 is required to secure the power supply mounting module 02 within the chassis 01, when the power supply mounting module 02 is located in the assembly space 210, the surface of the mainboard 22 facing away from the side panel 14 is in contact with the inner wall of the chassis 01, or there is a small gap between the surface and the inner wall of the chassis 01. This facilitates the connection between the mainboard 22 and the chassis 01. Furthermore, since the mainboard 22 and the side panel 14 can be connected by screws or rivets, if the end of the screw or rivet protrudes outward from the end surface of the mainboard 22 facing away from the side panel 14, when the power supply mounting module 02 is inserted into the assembly space 210, the protruding structure of the screw or rivet is likely to abut against the chassis 01, causing the power supply mounting module 02 to become stuck. To prevent this from happening, a groove structure can be provided on the end surface of the mainboard 22 facing away from the side panel 14. The groove structure can provide a clearance space, and the end of the screw or rivet can be received in the groove structure, preventing the end of the screw or rivet from protruding outward.

[0075] In some possible implementations, see Figure 5As shown, the compensation structure 20 may further include a positioning portion 21, which is located on the side of the main board 22 facing the first end 11 of the frame 10. The positioning portion 21 and the main board 22 may be independent structures, and the two may be connected together by a connecting structure. The positioning portion 21 and the main board 22 may also be an integrally formed structure, which is not limited in this embodiment. Figure 5 As shown, the positioning portion 21 is also connected to the side panel 14, and the bottom end of the positioning portion 21 protrudes from the bottom plate 24. In this way, when the bottom plate 24 slides to a certain position relative to the slide rail 220, the end of the slide rail 220 can abut against the positioning portion 21, thereby enabling the positioning portion 21 to limit the compensation structure 20 from continuing to slide relative to the slide rail 220, thereby playing a positioning role and limiting the power supply mounting module 02 from sliding to a predetermined distance in the assembly space 210.

[0076] In some examples, the sliding fit between the compensation structure 20 and the chassis 01 in the embodiments of the present application can limit the position of the power installation module 02 in the chassis 01, for example, it can limit the sliding path of the power installation module 02 in the chassis 01. The power installation module 02 and the chassis 01 need to be fixedly connected together through a predetermined structure, for example, the chassis 01 and the compensation structure 20 can be fixedly connected by screws, or the power installation module 02 and the chassis 01 can be fixedly connected by screws. Of course, the connection method is not limited to screw connection, and the power installation module 02 can also be fixed in the chassis 01 by riveting, or by snapping, clamping, etc.

[0077] In some possible implementations, the compensation structure 20 is slidably connected to the slide rail 220 inside the chassis 01. It should be noted that the shape of the slide rail 220 will be different corresponding to different assembly positions of the chassis 01, so there will be multiple connection methods between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rail 220. For example, the compensation structure 20 can be configured to be directly plugged into the slide rail 220 inside the chassis 01, or the slide rail 220 inside the chassis 01 can be directly plugged into the compensation structure 20. Through this plug-in matching method, the compensation structure 20 is slidably arranged in the chassis 01; or the compensation structure 20 is protruding from the outer surface of the frame 10, and the bottom end of the compensation structure 20 is abutted against the top end of the slide rail 220, so that the compensation structure 20 can be directly supported on the slide rail 220 inside the chassis 01. In this way, the compensation structure 20 is supported by the slide rail 220, and the power supply installation module 02 can be suspended in the chassis 01. Alternatively, the compensation structure 20 can also be directly hung on the slide rail 220 of the chassis 01. Through the above-mentioned cooperation between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rail 220, a sliding connection can be achieved between the compensation structure 20 and the chassis 01, so that the compensation structure 20 can slide relative to the chassis 01 along a predetermined direction.

[0078] It is worth mentioning that the sliding direction of the compensation structure 20 in the chassis 01 needs to be determined according to the actual installation design. In the embodiment of the present application, the compensation structure 20 is taken as an example to be able to slide along the first direction (the depth direction of the power supply installation module 02) in the chassis 01.

[0079] There is no limitation on the cooperation between the compensation structure 20 and the slide rail 220 . In the embodiment of the present application, the compensation structure 20 is supported on the slide rail 220 of the chassis 01 as an example for explanation.

[0080] Figure 6 It is a cross-sectional view of the frame and chassis installation structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0081] See also Figure 6 As shown, when the frame 10 is inserted into the assembly space 210 of the chassis 01, the two side panels 14 of the frame 10 are respectively disposed opposite the two opposite side walls of the assembly space 210. The slide rails 220 of the chassis 01 are disposed on the two opposite side walls of the assembly space 210. The slide rails 220 are protruding from the side walls of the assembly space 210, so that the ends of the slide rails 220 extend into the assembly space 210. When the frame 10 is inserted into the assembly space 210, the compensation structure 20 on the side panels 14 is located within the assembly space 210, and the main board 22 of the compensation structure 20 is disposed opposite the side walls of the assembly space 210.

[0082] It should be noted that the distance between the two opposite end surfaces of the main boards 22 of the two compensation structures 20 is greater than the distance between the two opposite end surfaces of the two slide rails 220 in the assembly space 21, so that when the frame 10 is inserted into the assembly space 210, at least part of the structure of the slide rail 220 can be located between the main board 22 and the side panel 14, and the bottom plate 24 of the compensation structure 20 is connected to the main board 22, and one end of the bottom plate 24 is connected to the main board 22, and the other end abuts against the side panel 14, so when the frame 10 is inserted into the assembly space When the frame 10 is in the assembly space 210, the bottom plate 24 of the compensation structure 20 located on both sides of the frame 10 can be overlapped on the slide rails 220 on the two side walls of the assembly space 210. The slide rails 220 can support the entire frame 10 or the entire power supply installation module 01 in the assembly space 210, and because the bottom plate 24 is overlapped on the surface of the slide rails 220, when the frame 10 is pushed along the extension direction of the slide rails 220, the frame 10 can move along the extension path of the slide rails 220, so that the power supply installation module 01 can move in the chassis 01.

[0083] It can be understood that the four slide rails 220 on the two side walls of the assembly space 210 divide the assembly space into two parts, the upper part of the two slide rails 220 on the two side walls is the first part, and the lower part is the second part.

[0084] When the power supply installation module's frame consists of only one layer, the power supply installation module can be installed in the first portion of the assembly space, cooperating with the two slide rails 220 located on the upper layer of the two side walls. Specifically, the bottom plates of the compensation structure on either side of the power supply installation module are respectively disposed on the two slide rails 220 located on the upper layer of the two side walls. In this case, the slide rails also function as load-bearing or support. The power supply installation module can also be installed in the second portion of the assembly space, cooperating with the two slide rails 220 located on the lower layer of the two side walls. Specifically, the bottom plates of the compensation structure on either side of the power supply installation module are respectively disposed on the two slide rails 220 located on the lower layer of the two side walls. In this case, the slide rails also function as load-bearing or support.

[0085] When the frame of the power supply installation module has only two layers, the two layers of the frame are respectively located in the first part and the second part of the assembly space, and the compensation structures on both sides of the upper frame respectively cooperate with the two slide rails of the upper layer, and the compensation structures on both sides of the lower frame respectively cooperate with the two slide rails of the lower layer.

[0086] In the embodiment of the present application, the frame of the power supply installation structure is flexibly matched with the compensation structure, so that the power supply installation structure can be flexibly installed in the assembly space regardless of whether it has one layer or two layers.

[0087] Figure 7 It is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a partial structure of a frame provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0088] See also Figure 7 As shown, in some possible implementations, the frame 10 is further provided with an anti-fouling portion 181, which is used to prevent the power module 40 from being placed upside down when placed in the accommodating space 13. Specifically, the anti-fouling portion 181 is located in the accommodating space 13 and is provided on the frame 10 near the second end 12. The power module 40 is provided with a groove structure. The anti-fouling portion 181 is provided on the movement path of the groove of the power module 40 when the power module 40 is inserted into the accommodating space 13. When the power module 40 is correctly placed, the anti-fouling portion 181 can be inserted and adapted into the groove of the power module 40 during the process of entering the accommodating space 13. If the power module 40 is not placed in the correct position, the groove of the power module 40 and the anti-fouling portion 181 will be misaligned. At this time, the position of the power module 40 directly facing the anti-fouling portion 181 does not have a groove, and the anti-fouling portion 181 abuts against the power module 40, preventing it from continuing to enter the accommodating space 13.

[0089] In some examples, the fool-proofing portion 181 may be provided on the side plate 14 or connected to the connecting plate 15 .

[0090] In some examples, two spaced-apart side panels 14 are connected to the same side of a connecting plate 15, and one end of the two side panels 14 is connected via the connecting plate 15. The connecting plate 15 serves to connect the side panels 14 and, in addition, to limit the relative position of the two ends of the side panels 14. In order to prevent the ends of the two side panels 14 away from the connecting plate 15 from being relatively close to or away from each other, the frame 10 further includes an auxiliary member 18. The auxiliary member 18 is located at the second end 12 of the frame 10, and both ends of the auxiliary member 18 are respectively connected to the side panels 14. The auxiliary member 18 is connected to the end of the side panels 14 away from the connecting plate 15. In this way, the auxiliary member 18 can increase the strength of the two side panels 14 at the ends close to the second end 12 of the frame 10, making it less likely for the two side panels 14 to deform at the ends away from the connecting plate 15.

[0091] It is worth mentioning that see Figure 7 As shown, the fool-proofing portion 181 can be provided on the auxiliary component 18 . The fool-proofing component can be a structure integrally formed with the auxiliary component 18 . The fool-proofing component is protruded on the auxiliary component 18 toward the accommodating space 13 .

[0092] For some examples, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 The power backplane 16 can be fixedly connected to the side plate 14 , or the power backplane 16 can be fixedly connected to the connecting plate 15 , or the power backplane 16 can be fixedly connected to both the side plate 14 and the connecting plate 15 .

[0093] When the power back panel 16 is connected to the side panels 14 and the connection panel 15 , a disassembly connection method is adopted, such as a snap connection structure, a buckle connection structure or a screw connection.

[0094] In the embodiment of the present application, the power backplane 16 and the connection plate 15 are connected together, for example, continue to refer to Figure 7 As shown, the connecting plate 15 is provided with a fixing portion 151, and the power backplane 16 is connected to the connecting plate 15 via the fixing portion 151. Specifically, the power backplane 16 and the fixing portion 151 are detachably connected via screws. Multiple fixing portions 151 can be provided at intervals on the connecting plate 15, and the power backplane 16 is connected to the connecting plate 15 via multiple fixing portions 151, which can make the connection between the power backplane 16 and the connecting plate 15 more stable.

[0095] In some possible ways, continue to see Figure 7As shown, a first limiting member 141 can also be provided on the side panel 14, and the power back panel 16 can be connected to the first limiting member 141. The connection between the first limiting member 141 and the power back panel 16 can stabilize the position of the power back panel 16. For example, the connection between the power back panel 16 and the first limiting member 141 is configured to limit the power back panel 16 from moving away from the frame 10 along the first direction. In this embodiment, only one or more fixing portions 151 can be provided on the connecting plate 15, and the fixing portion 151 is located in the middle of the connecting plate 15. The first limiting member 141 is provided on both side panels 14, and the ends of the power back panel 16 close to the two side panels 14 can be connected to the first limiting members 141 on the side panels 14, respectively.

[0096] In some examples, the connection between the power backplane 16 and the first limiting member 141 can also serve as a pre-installation of the power backplane 16. For example, the power backplane 16 and the first limiting member 141 can be connected first. At this time, the connection position between the fixing portion 151 and the power backplane 16 is just opposite, so that the power backplane 16 and the fixing portion 151 can be quickly aligned, thereby increasing installation efficiency.

[0097] In some examples, the first limiting member 141 can be a hook structure, and the position corresponding to the first limiting member 141 on the power backplane 16 can be provided with a hanging groove that cooperates with the hook structure. Through the cooperation between the hook structure and the hanging groove, the power backplane 16 can be directly hung on the first limiting member 141.

[0098] In some examples, see Figure 7 As shown, a second limiting member 182 may also be provided on the auxiliary member 18. The second limiting member 182 can also assist in limiting the position of the power backplane 16. When the power backplane 16 is connected to the first limiting member 141, the end of the power backplane 16 near the auxiliary member 18 can also be connected to the second limiting member 182. Specifically, a groove structure is formed on the upward end surface of the second limiting member 182. When the power backplane 16 is connected to the first limiting member 141, the end of the power backplane 16 near the auxiliary member 18 can be inserted into the groove structure of the second limiting member 182.

[0099] By setting the first limiting member 141 and the second limiting member 182, on the one hand, the power backplane 16 can be limited, and the number of fixing parts 151 connected to the power backplane 16 on the connecting plate 15 can be reduced, making the installation of the power backplane 16 faster. On the other hand, when the power backplane 16 is connected to the first limiting member 141 and the second limiting member 182, the position of the power backplane 16 relative to the fixing part 151 can be limited, so that the connection position between the power backplane 16 and the fixing part 151 is set to face each other. In this way, the power backplane 16 and the fixing part 151 can be aligned more quickly, and the efficiency of the installation of the power backplane 16 can be increased.

[0100] For some possible implementations, see Figure 2 Depending on the actual situation, a server may need to be equipped with one power module 40, or multiple power modules 40. To accommodate the installation of multiple power modules 40, the frame 10 in the embodiment of the present application further includes at least one partition 17. The partition 17 is located within the accommodating space 13. The partition 17 divides the accommodating space 13 into multiple subspaces arranged along the second direction, each subspace being used to accommodate a power module 40. By providing the partition 17, the frame 10 can be equipped with multiple power modules 40.

[0101] In the embodiment of the present application, the divider extends along the first direction within the accommodating space 13. When multiple dividers are provided within the accommodating space 13, the dividers are spaced evenly apart, and the spacing between the divider closest to the side panel 14 and the side panel 14 is equal to the spacing between two adjacent dividers. When only one divider is provided within the accommodating space 13, the spacing between the divider and both side panels 14 is equal. The spacing between the dividers and between the divider and the side panels 14 is determined by the dimensions of the power module 40 in the second direction.

[0102] In some feasible examples, the partition may be an independent plate structure. When the partition is disposed in the accommodation space 13, one end thereof facing the connecting plate 15 can be connected to the connecting plate 15 to be fixed in the accommodation space 13. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the partition is formed by a portion of the structure of the connecting plate 15.

[0103] Specifically, two plate structures are cut out in the middle position of the connecting plate 15, and the two plate structures and the connecting plate 15 are integrally formed along the first direction. The two plate structures can be bent along the connection between the plate structures and the connecting plate 15 to be bent into the accommodating space 13, and the partial structures at the opposite ends of the two plate structures can be overlapped. At this time, the opposite ends of the two plate structures can be connected together by screws or rivets to form the partition in the embodiment of the present application.

[0104] In the server of the related technology, multiple power modules 40 are required, and the multiple power modules 40 need to be stacked in the chassis. The frame 10 in the related technology can only meet the installation requirements of power supplies of a certain size. For example, if it is necessary to install stacked power modules 40, power supply installation modules 02 of different heights must be replaced to adapt to the installation of the stacked power modules 40. It can be seen that the frame 10 in the related technology cannot adapt to the installation of multiple stacked power modules 40, and its scope of use is limited.

[0105] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of a three-dimensional structure of a power supply installation module provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 9It is an exploded schematic diagram of a partial structure of a power supply installation module provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0106] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in some feasible methods, in order to realize the setting of multiple power modules 40 on a power installation module 02, the frame 10 can also be set to multiple, and the multiple frames 10 are connected together to form a whole, and each frame 10 has at least one accommodating space 13, so that multiple power modules 40 can be set on a power installation module 02.

[0107] It should be noted that a compensation structure 20 is provided on the side panel 14 of each frame 10 , so that each frame 10 can be connected to the slide rail 220 in the chassis.

[0108] In some examples, the plurality of frames 10 are stacked and arranged along a third direction (eg, Z direction), where the third direction is the same as the height direction of the frames 10 .

[0109] In the third direction, a middle partition 19 is provided between two adjacent frames 10, and the two frames 10 are connected together through the middle partition 19. For example, the middle partition 19 can be first connected to one of the frames 10, and then the middle partition 19 can be connected to the other frame 10, so that both frames 10 are connected to the middle partition 19. When the two frames 10 are stacked, the stacking mode of the two frames 10 can be such that the connecting plates 15 of the two are fitted together, or such that the connecting plates 15 of the two are not fitted together. In the embodiment of the present application, the case where the connecting plates 15 of the two frames 10 are not fitted together is used as an example for explanation. In addition, when the two frames 10 are stacked, the two frames 10 can share a power backplane 16, or different frames 10 can be provided with their own power supplies 16 separately.

[0110] The power installation module 01 of the present application can be provided with multiple frames 10, and the multiple frames 10 are stacked in the third direction. The frames 10 arranged along the third direction are connected together by a middle partition 19. In this way, the thickness of power modules 40 of different specifications can be adapted by setting the number of frames 10 stacked in the third direction of the power installation module 01 to meet the assembly of power modules 40 of different sizes.

[0111] In some examples, when the connecting plates 15 of the two frames 10 are not in contact, the end of the side plate 14 of one frame 10 facing away from the connecting plate 15 is connected to the connecting plate 15 of the other frame 10 via the middle partition 19. The middle partition 19 and the connecting plate 15 can be connected by screws or rivets, or by a snap-fit or buckle structure.

[0112] Figure 10It is a schematic diagram of the three-dimensional structure of the mounting member provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0113] Please also see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The ends of the middle partition 19 near the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the frame 10 are connected to the corresponding positions of the side panels 14. Because the ends of the side panels 14 near the second end 12 of the frame 10 are provided with auxiliary parts 18, the middle partition 19 can be connected to the auxiliary parts 18 to achieve the connection between the ends and the side panels 14. The end of the middle partition 19 near the first end 11 of the frame 10 and the corresponding ends of the side panels 14 can be connected by providing mounting parts 30.

[0114] Specifically, the mounting member 30 includes a first mounting portion 31 and a second mounting portion 32, which are integrally formed. The first mounting portion 31 is connected to the side panel 14 via rivets or screws. One end face of the second mounting portion 32 faces away from the connecting plate 15. The end of the middle partition 19 near the first end 11 of the frame 10 can be attached to the end face of the second mounting portion 32 facing away from the connecting plate 15, and this end of the middle partition 19 can be connected to the second mounting portion 32 via screws. In this way, the ends of the side panel 14 near the first end 11 and the second end 12 of the frame 10 can both be connected to the middle partition 19.

[0115] When connecting two frames 10, the middle partition 19 can be connected to the connecting plate 15 of one of the frames 10 first, and then the middle partition 19 can be connected to the side plate 14 of the other frame 10. Alternatively, the middle partition 19 can be connected to the side plate 14 of one of the frames 10 first, and then the middle partition 19 can be connected to the connecting plate 15 of the other frame 10. There is no limitation here.

[0116] By providing a partition plate, the two frames 10 can be stacked together along the third direction, so that the power installation module 02 has sufficient accommodation space 13 in its height direction to accommodate the installation of multiple layers of stacked power modules 40.

[0117] The present application also provides a computing device, including the server described in any of the above embodiments. Alternatively, the computing device may include a computing node. The power module 40 contained within the power installation module can provide power to the computing node. By including the power installation module, flexible placement of the power installation module within the chassis is achieved.
