Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of servers, and in particular relates to a radiator module, a radiator mounting unit, and a server. Background Art

[0002] As a type of computer, servers not only run faster, carry higher loads, and are more expensive than regular computers, but they also provide computing and application services to other clients on the network, such as PCs, smartphones, ATMs, and even large devices like train systems. Therefore, servers require high-speed CPU computing power, long-term reliable operation, strong I / O external data throughput, and excellent scalability. Furthermore, servers generate a high level of heat during operation.

[0003] To ensure stable and safe server operation, servers need to use heat dissipation equipment or heat dissipation structures to protect themselves from heat. Currently, the most commonly used CPU cooler is still an air-cooled radiator, and the most common style of air-cooled radiator is the tower radiator.

[0004] However, traditional tower coolers are not easy to install. Specifically, because tower coolers have four legs, each with a plug, before installation, the correct screwdriver or other tool must be used to secure the cooler and CPU to the motherboard CPU slot. Otherwise, the four plugs cannot be successfully screwed into the base. Furthermore, the entire installation process must be followed according to the operating instructions. Otherwise, it is easy to apply uneven force to the four legs. In this case, excessive force can cause the four plugs to break, rendering the entire cooler useless. Insufficient force can also cause CPU cooling problems. Poor contact between the CPU and the base can also directly burn the CPU, causing asset losses for the company. As a result, installing a single server cooler can take ten or even dozens of minutes. For thousands of servers, if a single cooler takes five minutes to install, the total installation time is at least 83 hours, severely limiting server assembly efficiency. Furthermore, because tower coolers are typically made of metal guides with relatively sharp edges, installers can easily be scratched by the screwdriver, further impacting installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to propose and design a radiator module, a radiator mounting unit, and a server to address the problems of cumbersome steps and low efficiency in the use of the tower radiator mounting structure used on the existing server chassis, so that the CPU radiator can be quickly installed through simple operations, making it easier for staff to install the CPU radiator.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, on the one hand, the utility model provides a radiator module, which includes a radiator body and a mounting base, a mounting outer ring is provided at the bottom of the radiator body, and the outer wall of the mounting outer ring is provided with at least one connecting module, each connecting module includes a clamping protrusion provided on the outer wall of the mounting outer ring, and the bottom end of the clamping protrusion is provided with a clamping portion; a mounting hole is provided in the middle of the mounting base, and the hole wall of the mounting hole is provided with at least one matching module, each matching module includes a clamping groove opened at the hole wall of the mounting hole, and the groove wall of the clamping groove is provided with a clamping matching portion, when the bottom of the radiator body is plugged into the mounting hole, the clamping protrusion is located in the corresponding clamping groove, and the clamping portion can be located below the corresponding clamping matching portion. In this way, when installing the above-mentioned radiator module, the mounting base can be first welded to the motherboard and installed together, and the CPU can be located in the mounting hole; then the snap-fit protrusion of the radiator body is aligned with the snap-fit groove, and when the radiator body is inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting base, the radiator body is rotated in a certain direction until the snap-fit portion is located below the snap-fit portion in the snap-fit groove and abuts against the snap-fit portion in the plug-in and pull-out direction of the radiator body, thereby completing the installation of the entire radiator module. Moreover, compared with the traditional tower radiator mounting structure, the mounting structure adopted by the radiator module of the present invention not only does not require the aid of other tools, but also has the advantages of simple steps, single-handed operation, and high installation efficiency, thereby avoiding a series of problems such as radiator scrapping, CPU burning, scratches on installation workers, and cumbersome and inefficient installation due to unbalanced force.

[0007] Furthermore, the shape of the clamping portion is a right triangle, and the right-angled end of the clamping portion is located at an end away from the bottom of the radiator body, so as to facilitate its insertion into the clamping groove of the mounting base.

[0008] Furthermore, the shape of the snap-fitting portion is a right triangle, and the right-angled end of the snap-fitting portion faces the bottom of the snap-fitting groove. A gap is provided between the bottom surface of the snap-fitting portion and the bottom of the snap-fitting groove, so that it can abut against the snap-fitting portion through its bottom surface.

[0009] Furthermore, the groove wall in the snap-fitting groove away from the snap-fitting portion is an inclined groove wall, which gradually approaches the snap-fitting portion along the insertion direction of the radiator body, thereby gradually guiding the radiator body to be screwed into the mounting hole through the inclined structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom end of the inclined groove wall transitions to the groove bottom fillet of the clamping groove, and the fillet structure ensures smooth connection between the mounting base portion and the radiator body portion and avoids wear.

[0011] Furthermore, the connection module also includes an auxiliary protrusion arranged on the outer side wall of the mounting outer ring, and the mating module also includes an auxiliary groove opened on the wall of the mounting hole. When the bottom of the radiator body is plugged into the mounting hole, the auxiliary protrusion is located in the corresponding auxiliary groove, and through the cooperation of the auxiliary protrusion and the auxiliary groove, the position of the radiator body is constrained in a direction perpendicular to the plug-in and unplugging direction of the radiator body, thereby ensuring the tightness and stability of the connection.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the auxiliary protrusion perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction of the radiator body is a trapezoid, and the waist edges on both sides of the trapezoid have different inclination angles; the two groove walls of the auxiliary groove are respectively configured as a first deflected groove wall and a second deflected groove wall, and the inclination angles of the first deflected groove wall and the second deflected groove wall correspond to the inclination angles of the two sides of the auxiliary protrusion, and the top of the first deflected groove wall is provided with a guiding bevel. In this case, when the radiator body is screwed into the radiator body, the guiding bevel can avoid and guide the auxiliary protrusion, and when the radiator body is fully inserted into the mounting hole, the abutment between the second deflected groove wall and the side surface of the corresponding side of the auxiliary protrusion can constrain the position of the radiator body in a direction perpendicular to the insertion and removal direction of the radiator body.

[0013] Furthermore, an auxiliary concave surface is provided between the auxiliary groove and the snap-in groove of the same connection module, and the auxiliary concave surface gradually moves away from the mounting hole along the direction of pulling out the radiator body, thereby forming an avoidance structure, and the avoidance structure ensures that the radiator body can be smoothly screwed in.

[0014] On the other hand, the utility model provides a radiator mounting unit, which includes a mainboard with a CPU base mounted on it, and also includes the above-mentioned radiator module, the mounting base of the radiator module is fixedly mounted on the mainboard, and the CPU base is located in the mounting hole, and the bottom of the radiator body contacts the CPU mounted on the CPU base to dissipate heat for the CPU.

[0015] In addition, the present invention also provides a server, which includes the above-mentioned radiator module, and performs air cooling and heat dissipation processing on corresponding components through the above-mentioned radiator module.

[0016] It can be seen from the above technical solution that the present invention has the following advantages: when the radiator module provided by the present invention is adopted, due to its unique screw-in buckle structure, the CPU radiator can be operated with one hand and screwed in place in one step, thereby solving the problem that traditional server radiators must use tools and refer to operating instructions when installing, and avoids a series of problems such as radiator scrapping, CPU burning, scratches on installation workers, and cumbersome and inefficient installation due to unbalanced force; and based on this, the installation of a radiator module provided by the present invention only takes 30 seconds. Taking one thousand servers as an example, compared with the traditional radiator installation solution, it can save at least 90% of the time, thereby greatly saving manpower and material resources, and can achieve the goal of saving 800,000 costs for the enterprise a year.

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a radiator module, which includes a radiator body 13 and a mounting base 1.

[0026] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the bottom of the radiator body 13 is provided with an outer ring 9, the shape of the outer ring 9 is a rounded rectangle, and each of the four outer side walls of the outer ring 9 is provided with a connection module. Figure 3 As shown, the connection module includes a snap-fit protrusion 10 and an auxiliary protrusion 12 arranged on the outer side wall of the mounting outer ring 9, wherein a snap-fit portion 11 is provided at the bottom end of the snap-fit protrusion 10, the snap-fit portion 11 is in the shape of a right triangle, and the right-angled end of the snap-fit portion 11 is located at the end away from the bottom of the radiator body 13; the cross-sectional shape of the auxiliary protrusion 12 perpendicular to the plug-in and pull-out direction of the radiator body 13 is a trapezoid, and the waist edges on both sides of the trapezoid have different inclination angles.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, a mounting hole is provided in the center of the mounting base 1. The shape of the mounting hole corresponds to that of the mounting outer ring 9, also adopting a rounded rectangular shape. Each of the four walls of the mounting hole is provided with a mating module for mating with the aforementioned connection module. Specifically, the mating module comprises a snap-fitting groove 2 and an auxiliary groove 8, which are provided in the wall of the mounting hole. The positions of the snap-fitting groove 2 and the auxiliary groove 8 correspond to the auxiliary protrusion 12 of the snap-fitting protrusion 10. Furthermore, one of the walls of the snap-fitting groove 2 is provided with a snap-fitting portion 4. The snap-fitting portion 4 is shaped like a right triangle, with the right-angled end of the snap-fitting portion 4 facing the bottom of the snap-fitting groove 2. A gap is provided between the bottom surface of the snap-fitting portion 4 and the bottom of the snap-fitting groove 2 to accommodate the snap-fitting portion 11. The other wall of the snap-fitting groove 2 is an inclined wall 3, which gradually approaches the snap-fitting portion 4 along the insertion direction of the heat sink body 13, and the bottom end of the inclined wall 3 transitions to the rounded corner of the bottom of the snap-fitting groove 2.

[0028] The two groove walls of the auxiliary groove 8 are respectively set as a deflected groove wall 1 and a deflected groove wall 2, and the orientation of the deflected groove wall 1 in the auxiliary groove 8 is consistent with the orientation of the inclined groove wall 3 in the snap-fitting groove 2, and the orientation of the deflected groove wall 2 in the auxiliary groove 8 is consistent with the orientation of the snap-fitting part 4 in the snap-fitting groove 2. The inclination angle of the deflected groove wall 1 and the inclination angle of the deflected groove wall 2 correspond to the inclination angles on both sides of the auxiliary protrusion 12 respectively. A guiding slope 7 is provided on the top of the deflected groove wall 1, and the guiding slope 7 is gradually approached to the deflected groove wall 2 along the insertion direction of the radiator body 13.

[0029] Thus, when installing the above-mentioned heat sink module, the mounting base 1 can be first welded to the motherboard and installed together, with the CPU positioned in the mounting hole. Then, the snap-fitting protrusion 10 of the heat sink body 13 is aligned with the snap-fitting groove 2, and the heat sink body 13 is rotated and inserted into the mounting hole of the mounting base 1. Moreover, during the process of rotating the heat sink body 13 into the mounting hole of the mounting base 1, the snap-fitting portion 11 of the snap-fitting protrusion 10 will first contact the inclined groove wall 3, and the auxiliary protrusion 12 will first contact the guiding inclined surface 7. Then, under the guidance of the inclined groove wall 3 and the guiding inclined surface 7, the heat sink body 13 will gradually rotate downward until the snap-fitting portion 11 of the snap-fitting protrusion 10 is located below the snap-fitting portion 4, thus completing the installation of the entire heat sink module. The snap-fitting portion 11 and the snap-fitting portion 4 are used to lock the heat sink body 13 in the plug-in and pull-out direction, and the auxiliary protrusion 12 and the groove wall of the auxiliary groove 8 are used to lock the heat sink body 13 perpendicular to the plug-in and pull-out direction. Moreover, compared with the traditional tower radiator installation structure, the installation structure adopted by the radiator module of the first embodiment not only does not require the use of other tools, but also has the advantages of simple steps, one-handed operation, and high installation efficiency. It avoids a series of problems such as radiator scrapping, CPU burning, scratches on installation workers, and cumbersome and inefficient installation due to unbalanced force.

[0030] In addition, this embodiment 1 also provides an auxiliary concave surface between the auxiliary groove 8 and the snap-fit groove 2 of the same connection module. The auxiliary concave surface gradually moves away from the mounting hole along the direction in which the radiator body 13 is pulled out, and the auxiliary concave surface can be divided into two sections with different inclination angles along the direction approaching the auxiliary groove 8, namely, auxiliary concave surface 1 5 and auxiliary concave surface 2 6. The angle at which auxiliary concave surface 1 5 is inclined outward from the mounting hole is smaller than the angle at which auxiliary concave surface 2 6 is inclined outward from the mounting hole. Thus, the presence of auxiliary concave surface 1 5 and auxiliary concave surface 2 6 ensures that the radiator body 13 can be smoothly screwed into the mounting hole of the mounting base 1. In addition, it should be noted that the snap-fit protrusion 10 and the auxiliary protrusion 12 in this embodiment 1 are relatively thin in actual application, so there is no interference or inability to achieve the desired effect during the insertion and removal of the radiator body and the mounting base.
