Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of server fans, in particular to a double-layer quick-detachable fan outer frame. Background Art

[0002] With the development of information technology, servers, as core devices for information processing and storage, are increasingly being used. The increasing demand for server data processing capabilities and computing power has led to a continuous increase in the number and performance of CPU modules installed within servers. This performance increase results in higher heat generation, placing higher demands on server cooling systems.

[0003] Existing server designs typically use fans for internal cooling. While the cooling performance of these fans has improved with technological advancements, server CPU performance has increased at a faster rate, leading to a widening gap between cooling effectiveness and performance requirements. Furthermore, servers may require additional PCIe modules in certain environments, further increasing the burden on the cooling system.

[0004] Although the fans in the existing cooling system have improved in performance, their cooling effect shows a relatively declining trend compared with the cooling requirements of high-performance CPUs. This not only affects the stable operation of the server, but also limits the further improvement of server performance. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above-mentioned shortcomings in the prior art and to propose a double-layer quick-detachable fan frame.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A double-layer quick-release fan outer frame is designed, comprising a frame, a plurality of partitions are placed at intervals on the inner side of the frame, and the plurality of partitions are used to separate the inner side of the frame into a plurality of installation spaces;

[0008] The partition includes an upper partition and a lower partition that are stacked and arranged in layers, and the end surfaces of the upper partition and the lower partition are both provided with a limit opening for locking the fan;

[0009] Handle assemblies are also provided on both sides of the frame, and the handle assemblies are used to connect the rack.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame includes two relatively distributed long boards and two relatively arranged vertical boards, and the two long boards and the two vertical boards form a rectangular frame.

[0011] Furthermore, two rows of fan hole groups are distributed on the end surface of the long plate, and each row of the fan hole groups has a plurality of fan holes;

[0012] The vertical plate has an outwardly bent expanding portion, and a top end of the outwardly bent portion is further provided with a bent portion.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 An embodiment of the present invention discloses a double-layer quick-release fan outer frame, which includes a frame 1. Specifically, a plurality of partitions 2 are placed at intervals on the inner side of the frame 1. The plurality of partitions 2 are used to separate the inner side of the frame 1 into a plurality of installation spaces 3.

[0027] Preferably, in this embodiment, there are five partitions 2, which are distributed at intervals in the frame 1. That is to say, in the present invention, through the design of five partitions 2, five installation spaces 3 can be separated on the inner side of the frame 1. Two 6056 fans can be stacked in each installation space 3. In this way, it is possible to support the installation of up to 12 6056 fans, greatly improving the overall heat dissipation performance.

[0028] The partition 2 includes an upper partition 21 and a lower partition 22 that are stacked. The end surfaces of the upper partition 21 and the lower partition 22 are each provided with a limit opening 23 for locking the fan. In addition, the upper partition 21 and the lower partition 22 described in the present invention have the same shape when flattened. In this embodiment, guide edges are bent on both sides of the upper partition 21 and the lower partition 22. The guide edge design is used to improve the installation accuracy and stability of the fan.

[0029] Handle assemblies 4 are also provided on both sides of the frame 1 , and the handle assemblies 4 are used to connect to the rack.

[0030] In some embodiments, the frame 1 of the present invention includes two relatively distributed long boards 11 and two relatively arranged vertical boards 12 , and the two long boards 11 and the two vertical boards 12 form a rectangular frame.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, two rows of fan hole groups 13 are distributed on the end surface of the long board 11, and each row of the fan hole groups 13 has multiple fan holes. Of course, in this embodiment, each row of the fan hole groups 13 has six fan holes, so that 12 6056 fans can be installed in the space of two rows;

[0032] In addition, the vertical plate 12 has an outwardly bent extension portion 121, and a bent portion 122 is provided at the top of the extension portion 121. The extension portion 121 is designed for the installation of the handle assembly 4. Secondly, in order to adapt to the installation of the fan, a limit opening 23 can also be provided on the end face of the vertical plate 12.

[0033] In some embodiments, the handle assembly 4 of the present invention includes a handle 42 constrained on the outward expansion portion 121 by a fastener 41. The handle 42 has a locking hole 43, and the locking hole 43 is adapted to fit the server rack. In addition, the fastener 41 is configured as a bolt, and the bolt is threadedly connected to the outward expansion portion 121. At the same time, the handle 42 and the bolt need to be kept rotating. Specifically, the handle 42 rotates within 0-90 degrees.

[0034] Among them, an arc-shaped groove 44 is further provided on the end surface of the handle 42, and a guide member 45 located in the arc-shaped groove 44 is also provided on the end surface of the outward expansion portion 121. Preferably, the guide member 45 described in this embodiment is configured as a bolt, and the installation and removal of the entire fan frame are achieved through the directional guide groove, thereby releasing more maintenance space for subsequent motherboard maintenance.

[0035] Of course, in order to further enhance the overall strength of the frame and prevent the bottom of the fan from falling off, the present invention also includes a bottom plate 5;

[0036] The bottom plates 5 are provided in plurality, distributed at intervals and fixed to the inner bottom of the frame 1 .

[0037] On the basis of the above embodiment, in order to achieve the fixation of the bottom plate 5, the bottom of the lower partition 22 has a first ear 221 and a second ear 222, and the second ear 222 is bent on the side away from the first ear 221. The bottom plate 5 is fixed between the first ear 221 and the second ear 222 of the two adjacent lower partitions 22. The fixing method can be fixed with fasteners such as bolts. Of course, in order to achieve the fixation of the bottom plate 5 on the side, an ear block can also be set at the bottom of the vertical plate 12 in this embodiment, so that the support connection of the bottom plate 5 on the side can be achieved.

[0038] In summary, the present invention, through the structural layout of the upper and lower partitions 21 and 22, can support the installation of up to twelve 6056 fans, significantly improving overall heat dissipation efficiency. The double-layer fan modules within the installation space 3 can be hot-swapped individually via an adapter plate, facilitating subsequent maintenance. After complete disassembly, the area is free of obstructions from other structural components, providing greater access to the motherboard. Furthermore, the upper and lower partitions 21 and 22 have the same shape, making the frame 1 backwards compatible and equally suitable for single-layer fan modules.

[0039] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to this. Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
