[0002] In modern data centers and server rooms, server stability and reliability are crucial. Servers are often equipped with RAID cards to create disk arrays (RAID), which stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. To address RAID card data protection, maintain cache data consistency, and improve write performance, a battery backup unit (BBU) is typically configured. Supercapacitors are used for battery backup in RAID cards and are therefore increasingly being used in server systems as a backup power source. However, in practice, the installation and maintenance of supercapacitors often require specialized tools and technicians, increasing maintenance costs and reducing efficiency. Furthermore, since chassis dimensions are standard, existing space and structure cannot be easily modified. Traditional supercapacitor installation methods often occupy a large space and lack a stable mounting structure. Therefore, achieving tool-free installation of supercapacitors within the existing space and structure of server chassis, improving assembly and disassembly efficiency, and adapting to the compact layout and high reliability requirements of server chassis has become an urgent technical challenge.

The module aims to meet the tool-free installation requirements of supercapacitors based on the existing space and structure of the server chassis through structural optimization design, effectively ensure the assembly and disassembly efficiency of supercapacitors, and ensure that the overall structure is stable and reliable.

[0005] A further improvement of the present invention is that the elastic deformation portion is an elastic hollow portion, the elastic hollow portion is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the neck of the elastic gourd hole, and a buffer strip is arranged between the elastic hollow portion and the elastic gourd hole.

[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that the middle width of the elastic hollow portion is greater than the widths at both ends, and the middle position of the elastic hollow portion corresponds to the position of the neck opening.

[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that the elastic hollow portion, the buffer strip and the outer edge of the neck opening are conformal.

[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the bottom height of the elastic hollow portion is not lower than the middle height of the assembly portion.

[0009] A further improvement of the present invention is that there are multiple elastic gourd holes, and the multiple elastic gourd holes are staggered and arranged on the supercapacitor bracket.

[0010] A further improvement of the present invention is that the supercapacitor bracket is further provided with mounting holes.

[0011] A further improvement of the present invention is that the mounting hole is arranged beside the elastic gourd hole.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment provides a supercapacitor tool-free installation module, including: a supercapacitor bracket 1 and a capacitor fixing member 2, the supercapacitor 3 is arranged on the supercapacitor bracket 1 through the capacitor fixing member 2; the supercapacitor bracket 1 is provided with an elastic gourd hole 11 with a larger bottom and a smaller top, and the supercapacitor bracket 1 is detachably arranged on the I-nail 41 of the chassis 4 through the elastic gourd hole 11; the elastic gourd hole 11 includes a buckle portion 111, a neck 112 and an assembly portion 113 from top to bottom, the width of the neck 112 is smaller than the diameter of the buckle portion 111, and the diameter of the buckle portion 111 is smaller than the diameter of the assembly portion 113; the diameter of the nail column of the I-nail 41 is larger than the width of the neck 112 and smaller than the diameter of the buckle portion 111; the diameter of the nail head of the I-nail 41 is larger than the diameter of the buckle portion 111 and smaller than the diameter of the assembly portion 113; elastic deformation portions 12 are provided on both sides of the neck 112 of the elastic gourd hole 11.

[0033] In this embodiment, the supercapacitor bracket 1 refers to a tool-free mounting and disassembly bracket structure for the supercapacitor 3. The capacitor fixing member 2 refers to a structural member for fixing the supercapacitor 3 to the supercapacitor bracket 1, and preferably can be a Velcro or cable tie. The supercapacitor 3, also known as a supercapacitor or an electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC), is a special capacitor between a traditional capacitor and a rechargeable battery. It combines the high-current fast charging and discharging characteristics of an ordinary capacitor with the energy storage characteristics of a battery. The chassis 4 refers to the chassis of the server, and the supercapacitor bracket 1 is preferably hung on the side wall of the chassis 4 by an I-nail 41.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the elastic gourd hole 11 in this embodiment includes a snap portion 111, a neck 112 and an assembly portion 113 from top to bottom. The snap portion 111 refers to a small hole structure for clamping the I-nail 41, and the assembly portion 113 refers to a large hole structure for allowing the elastic gourd hole 11 to be inserted into the I-nail 41 or removed from the I-nail 41. The neck 112 refers to a tightening transition structure between the snap portion 111 and the assembly portion 113. Therefore, the width of the neck opening 112 is smaller than the diameter of the buckle portion 111, and the diameter of the buckle portion 111 is smaller than the diameter of the assembly portion 113; the diameter of the I-shaped nail 41 is larger than the width of the neck opening 112 and smaller than the diameter of the buckle portion 111; the diameter of the nail head of the I-shaped nail 41 is larger than the diameter of the buckle portion 111 and smaller than the diameter of the assembly portion 113; therefore, in the absence of external force, the I-shaped nail 41 can be stably clamped in the buckle portion 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 4 When disassembly is required, the supercapacitor bracket 1 is pulled upward and pulled out from the I-nail 41.

[0035] During the assembly process, the supercapacitor bracket 1 described in this embodiment is first inserted into the I-nail 41 through the assembly portion 113, and then the supercapacitor bracket 1 is pressed downward, and the elastic deformation portion 12 generates elastic deformation so that the I-nail 41 passes through the neck 112 and is snapped into the buckle portion 111. Finally, the elastic deformation portion 12 recovers under the elastic action and cooperates with the buckle portion 111 to fix the I-nail 41; during the disassembly process, the supercapacitor bracket 1 is pulled upward, and the elastic deformation portion 12 will generate elastic deformation so that the I-nail 41 first passes through the neck 112 and enters the assembly portion 113, and then the supercapacitor bracket 1 is removed from the I-nail 41 through the assembly portion 113.

[0036] It is worth noting that elastic deformation parts 12 are provided on both sides of the neck 112 of the elastic gourd hole 11 described in this embodiment. The elastic deformation part 12 is preferably an elastic hollow part. The elastic hollow part is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the neck 112 of the elastic gourd hole 11, and a buffer strip 13 is provided between the elastic hollow part and the elastic gourd hole 11. The matching design between the elastic gourd hole 11, the elastic deformation part 12 and the buffer strip 13 described in this embodiment can not only well ensure the elastic deformation effect of the elastic gourd hole 11, but also effectively increase the stability and reliability of its overall structure. Even if the environment where the product is located is a transportation environment or there are certain vibrations and collisions, it will not affect the installation of the supercapacitor 3.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, during the assembly process, the supercapacitor bracket 1 is first inserted into the I-nail 41 through the assembly portion 113, and then the supercapacitor bracket 1 is pressed downward, and the elastic deformation portion 12 is deformed so that the I-nail 41 passes through the neck 112 and is snapped into the buckle portion 111. Finally, the elastic deformation portion 12 recovers under the elastic action and cooperates with the buckle portion 111 to fix the I-nail 41; during the disassembly process, the supercapacitor bracket 1 is pulled upward, and the elastic deformation portion 12 will produce elastic deformation so that the I-nail 41 first passes through the neck 112 and enters the assembly portion 113, and then the supercapacitor bracket 1 is removed from the I-nail 41 through the assembly portion 113.

[0038] Therefore, during assembly, this embodiment only requires inserting and pressing the supercapacitor bracket 1 downward; and during disassembly, only pulling upward and removing the bracket are required. Obviously, this embodiment is well suited for use in various server chassis 4. Through a simple and efficient optimized structural design, based on the existing space and structure of the server chassis 4, the supercapacitor 3 can be quickly installed without tools by simply utilizing the I-shaped nails 41 on the side walls. This effectively ensures the efficiency of assembly and disassembly of the supercapacitor 3 and ensures that its overall structure is stable and reliable.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the middle width of the elastic hollow portion (i.e., the elastic deformation portion 12) in this embodiment is greater than the width at both ends, and the middle position of the elastic hollow portion corresponds to the position of the neck opening 112, so as to provide a larger deformation space for the neck opening 112, and also effectively avoid unnecessary excessive deformation of the snap portion 111 and the assembly portion 113, thereby improving the stability of its installation structure.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the elastic hollow portion (i.e., the elastic deformation portion 12), the buffer strip 13, and the outer edge of the neck 112 of this embodiment are conformal, that is, the deformation structure of the entire supercapacitor bracket 1 adopts a conformal design, thereby making the elastic deformation and recovery process more stable and reliable, effectively extending the service life of the product.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, preferably, the bottom height of the elastic hollow portion (i.e., the elastic deformation portion 12) in this embodiment is not lower than the middle height of the assembly portion 113. That is, the bottom of the elastic deformation portion 12 is located in the middle of the assembly portion 113, or above the middle of the assembly portion 113. The reason for this design in this embodiment is that the assembly portion 113 is a large hole design and does not need to deform itself. Therefore, the bottom height of the elastic deformation portion 12 is not lower than the middle height of the assembly portion 113. This can provide a certain buffer position for the deformation of the neck 112 and can also prevent the deformation space outside the assembly portion 113 from being too large, which may affect the assembly reliability of the product.

[0042] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are multiple elastic gourd holes 11, and the multiple elastic gourd holes 11 are staggered and arranged on the supercapacitor bracket 1 so as to disperse the force on the supercapacitor bracket 1 and enhance the reliability of the product assembly structure.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the supercapacitor bracket 1 of this embodiment is preferably provided with a mounting hole 14. The mounting hole 14 is a reserved preferred structural design. When there are no I-nail 41 on the side wall of part of the chassis 4, it can also be installed and fixed through the mounting hole 14. The mounting hole 14 preferably adopts a countersunk screw hole, so that after assembly, the space occupied by the supercapacitor bracket 1 is more compact and the protrusion of the connection position is avoided. Preferably, the mounting hole 14 of this embodiment is set next to the elastic gourd hole 11 to optimize the installation and fixing position.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the supercapacitor bracket 1 of this embodiment is preferably provided with a bent fixed end 15, and the bent fixed end 15 is bent toward the side of the supercapacitor bracket 1 away from the chassis 4, and the capacitor fixing part 2 is connected to the bent fixed end 15, so that the supercapacitor 3 is fixedly mounted on the supercapacitor bracket 1 while also protecting the supercapacitor. The bent fixed end 15 of this embodiment is provided with a through hole 16, and the capacitor fixing part 2 is detachably arranged in the through hole 16, such as by passing a structural part such as a Velcro or a cable tie through the through hole 16, so as to fix the supercapacitor 3, and the overall structure is simpler, more reasonable and more efficient. The supercapacitor 3 is preferably also provided with a connecting end 31, so that when it is assembled to the side wall of the chassis 4, it can be plugged into the main board in the chassis 4 through the connecting end 31 to further improve the assembly efficiency of the supercapacitor 3.

[0045] The specific implementation methods described above are preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the specific implementation scope of the present invention. The scope of the present invention includes but is not limited to the specific implementation methods. All equivalent changes made in accordance with the shape and structure of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
