[0029] The following combination Figure 1-Figure 7 The tower server of the present invention is described.

[0030] Figure 1 The assembly diagram of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated. Figure 2 The internal structure diagram of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the utility model is illustrated. Figure 1 and Figure 2A tower server provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis 100, a backplane 200, multiple plug-ins 300 and a sliding assembly 400. The backplane 200 is detachably arranged inside the chassis 100; multiple plug-ins 300 are slidably arranged inside the chassis 100 and distributed on both sides of the backplane 200. The plug-ins 300 are electrically connected to the backplane 200 and are used for compatibility with different systems; the sliding assembly 400 is arranged at the bottom of the chassis 100 and is used to drive the movement of the chassis 100.

[0031] In the above structure, the chassis 100 serves as the outer shell of the entire server, providing physical protection and support. The backplane 200, located within the chassis 100, is a key component that connects the various plug-ins 300. It is responsible for connecting the plug-ins 300 and providing pathways for power and data transmission. The plug-ins 300 are components mounted on the backplane 200 and can be storage devices, processor modules, or other computing resources. The design of the plug-ins 300 allows them to be directly plugged into the backplane 200 without the need for additional adapters or converters, thus achieving a plug-in card configuration similar to that of a rack-mounted server. This allows the present invention to be more flexibly configured and expanded to meet diverse business needs. The sliding assembly 400, located at the bottom of the chassis 100, allows the entire device to be moved, making it easier to deploy and adjust its position. Furthermore, the provision of the sliding assembly 400 saves space: when the device is no longer required to occupy a fixed position, it can be pushed back into place using the sliding assembly 400, saving valuable data center space.

[0032] In some possible embodiments, a hot-swap function can also be added so that key components such as hard disks and power supplies can be replaced without shutting down the server, thereby improving the availability and reliability of the system. The power supply can adopt a modular power supply design so that it can dynamically adjust the power supply according to the actual load conditions, reduce energy waste, and facilitate troubleshooting and replacement. Secondly, in a high-density computing environment, a large amount of heat will inevitably be generated inside the chassis 100. In order to reduce the temperature, liquid cooling technology such as immersion cooling or cold plate cooling can be introduced to effectively improve the heat dissipation efficiency and ensure stable operation of the server under high load. An intelligent temperature control system can also be integrated to automatically adjust the fan speed or liquid circulation speed according to the ambient temperature, thereby optimizing the heat dissipation effect while reducing noise and energy consumption.

[0033] Figure 3 An exploded view of a tower server provided by an embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated. Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the positional relationship between the back plate and the cooling assembly of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the present utility model.

[0034] Reference Figure 3In some embodiments of the present invention, the chassis 100 includes a rack 110, which may be a standard 6U plug-in unit. A first storage space 111 is defined within the rack 110, extending along the length of the rack 110. The backplane 200 is disposed within the first storage space 111 along the width of the rack 110. Slide rails 113 are provided on both sides of the first storage space 111, and the plug-in 300 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 113.

[0035] In the above structure, the rack 110 is a support structure within the chassis 100, used to mount and secure other components. The chassis 100 can be made of metal, providing sufficient strength to support all internal components. A first storage space 111 is located within the rack 110. This space extends along the length of the rack 110 and provides mounting space for internal components. The first storage space 111 is specifically designed for mounting the backplane 200 and the plug-in 300. It runs along the length of the rack 110, ensuring ample space for the longer plug-in 300. Openings are provided on both sides of the first storage space 111 to facilitate the sliding of the plug-in 300 on either side. The corresponding plug-in 300 is equipped with a snap-fit ​​mechanism. To remove the plug-in 300, the snap-fit ​​mechanism can be disengaged and then pulled out. To secure the plug-in 300 within the first storage space 111, it can be pushed in and locked with the snap-fit ​​mechanism. The specific structure of the snap-fit ​​mechanism can be found in the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0036] The back panel 200 is also limited in the first storage space 111. Specifically, it can be connected in the same way as the plug-in 300. The back panel 200 can also be fixed to the rack 110 using bolts, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement. In addition, it can also be fixed by other fasteners such as clamps, buckles, etc., depending on the design requirements. The back panel 200 is set along the width direction of the rack 110, that is, the back panel 200 is set perpendicular to the plug-in 300 (such as Figure 4As shown), this can maximize the use of the width of the rack 110 and also facilitate the forward and backward insertion and removal of the plug-in 300. The slide rails 113 are installed on both sides of the first storage space 111 to support the sliding of the plug-in 300. The design of the slide rails 113 allows the plug-in 300 to smoothly enter and exit the chassis 100, which is convenient for installation and maintenance. The slide rails 113 can be fixed to both sides of the first storage space 111 of the rack 110 by bolts. This method is not only stable, but also convenient for adjusting the position of the slide rails 113 in the future. In addition, the slide rails 113 can also be fixed by welding. The plug-in 300 can be specifically connected to the slide rails 113 through sliders or slide grooves. This design allows the plug-in 300 to slide smoothly along the slide rails 113, which is convenient for the installation and removal of the plug-in 300. The design of the sliders or slide grooves should take into account the weight and size of the plug-in 300 to ensure that the plug-in 300 does not shake or get stuck during the sliding process.

[0037] Figure 5 The schematic diagram illustrates the position of the cooling component of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the present invention inside the chassis. Figure 6 The side view of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the present invention, a second storage space 112 is further provided inside the rack 110. The second storage space 112 is located on one side of the first storage space 111. A cooling component 500 is slidingly provided inside the second storage space 112. The cooling component 500 is used to cool the backplane 200 and the plug-in 300.

[0039] Specifically, the cooling assembly 500 is installed within the second storage space 112 via a sliding structure, facilitating maintenance and cleaning. The sliding structure includes rails and sliders or chutes. The rails are installed on the side walls of the second storage space 112 and can be made of metal to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The rails can be designed to be straight or curved to suit the shape of the cooling assembly 500. The cooling assembly 500 is connected to the rails via sliders or chutes. The sliders are fixed to the sides of the cooling assembly 500, while the chutes are provided on the rails. The design of the sliders and chutes ensures that the cooling assembly 500 can slide smoothly into and out of the second storage space 112. The rails can be fixed to the side walls of the second storage space 112 with bolts, ensuring a secure installation and facilitating future adjustment or replacement of the rails. The sliders can be fixed to the sides of the cooling assembly 500 by welding or fasteners. A certain clearance is provided between the sliders and chutes to ensure smooth sliding of the cooling assembly 500.

[0040] In the above structure, installing the cooling assembly 500 directly near the backplane 200 and plug-in 300 can more effectively reduce the temperature of these heat-generating components. By dissipating heat promptly, system crashes or performance degradation caused by overheating can be avoided, ensuring continuous and stable operation of the server. This reduces damage to electronic components caused by high temperatures, thereby extending the service life of various server components. In some possible embodiments, to prevent dust from entering the cooling assembly 500 and affecting heat dissipation efficiency, a sealing strip or door can be designed at the opening of the second storage space 112 to ensure a good seal when not in maintenance mode.

[0041] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, the cooling assembly 500 includes a sliding frame 510, which is slidably arranged in the second storage space 112. The sliding frame 510 is provided with multiple fan trays 520. A handle 530 is provided at at least one end of the sliding frame 510. The multiple fan trays 520 are arranged in a row on the sliding frame 510. When the fan trays 520 are arranged, it is necessary to make the wind generated by the fan trays 520 blow toward the back panel 200 and the plug-in 300. A corresponding locking mechanism is also provided between the sliding frame 510 and the rack 110. When the fan tray 520 needs to be replaced or repaired, the locking mechanism is opened, and then the handle 530 is held to pull out the sliding frame 510. After replacement or repair, it is pushed in and then locked by the locking mechanism to prevent it from moving. The locking mechanism can refer to the relevant structure in the prior art and will not be described here.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments of the present invention, a top cover 120 is provided on the top of the frame 110, and side covers 130 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the frame 110. The side covers 130 are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes 131. At least one handle 121 is provided on the top of the top cover 120.

[0043] Specifically, the upper cover 120 and side cover 130 can be bolted to the rack 110. The upper cover 120 and side cover 130 protect the internal structure and prevent impurities from entering the server. Ventilation holes 131 are provided on the side cover 130 to provide ventilation for the cooling assembly 500, ensuring proper operation. A handle 121 is provided on the upper cover 120 to facilitate movement of the server.

[0044] Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of the back panel of the tower server provided by the embodiment of the present utility model is illustrated. Figure 7In some embodiments of the present invention, a plug-in connector 210 and a fan tray connector 220 are provided on the backplane 200 . The plug-in connector 210 is used to electrically connect to the plug-in 300 , and the fan tray connector 220 is used to electrically connect to the fan tray 520 .

[0045] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments of the present invention, the sliding assembly 400 includes a fixed frame 420, which is disposed at the bottom of the frame 110. The bottom of the fixed frame 420 is rotatably provided with at least two rolling bodies 410, which can specifically be wheels. A pull rod 430 is slidably provided inside the fixed frame 420. A locking assembly may also be provided between the fixed frame 420 and the pull rod 430, and the locking assembly is used to switch between a locked state and an unlocked state; in the locked state, the pull rod 430 and the fixed frame 420 are limited; in the unlocked state, the pull rod 430 and the fixed frame 420 are released from the limit.

[0046] In the above structure, by arranging at least two rolling bodies 410 (such as wheels) at the bottom of the fixing frame 420, the present invention can be easily moved like a suitcase. This design reduces the burden of manually carrying the heavy present invention. And through the internal sliding pull rod 430, the user can easily pull the present invention, and it can be conveniently operated even in a small space. The presence of the pull rod 430 means that the operator does not have to bend over or push and pull the present invention with effort, reducing labor intensity. When the present invention needs to be moved, the lock assembly can be unlocked and the pull rod 430 can be pulled out. When the present invention is placed in place, the pull rod 430 is retracted and then fixed by the lock hole assembly. Through the above design, the present invention greatly improves the convenience of movement of the present invention.
