Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, and specifically to a ruggedized server. Background Technology
[0002] With the deepening development of the information age, the stability and security of servers, as the core of data processing and storage, have become particularly important. Especially in critical fields such as military, aerospace, and communications, servers not only need to face complex and ever-changing working environments, but also need to resist various potential security threats. Therefore, hardened server technology has emerged.
[0003] Currently, while ruggedized servers on the market meet security requirements to some extent, they still have many shortcomings. For example, traditional VPX or CPCI boards require a structure combining four independent uprights and plastic guide rails for installation. Each upright is fixed to the chassis with screws on its top and bottom mounting surfaces, and the plastic guide rails are secured in holes on the uprights using plastic clips. During installation, the guide rails provide guidance, and a motherboard puller hooks onto the uprights, then the motherboard is fully pushed in using the openings on the uprights. However, each upright is installed independently, and each upright requires two screws for top and bottom fixation, making installation and disassembly time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, due to accumulated tolerances, the puller hooks often fail to engage with the uprights, preventing the motherboard from being pushed into place. Additionally, using plastic guide rails requires aligning the board with the guide rail slots before installation, making the process cumbersome. Utility Model Content

The support column assembly 107 is located in the lower left of the chassis 101, and the motherboard 109 and the backplate 110 are both located on the left side of the support column assembly 107. The support column assembly 107 includes a left bracket 1071, a right bracket 1072, a first metal fastener 1073, and a second metal fastener 1074. The left bracket 1071 and the right bracket 1072 are symmetrical to each other. A first guide rail groove 10 is provided on the left inner sidewall of the left bracket 1071. 711, and the upper edge and lower edge of the first guide rail groove 10711 are asymmetrically arranged; the first metal fastener 1073 is fixedly arranged on the left end of the left bracket 1071 to lock the first puller hook (not shown) on the motherboard 109; a second guide rail groove (not shown) is provided on the left inner side wall of the right bracket 1072, and the upper edge and lower edge of the second guide rail groove are asymmetrically arranged; the second metal fastener 1074 is fixedly arranged on the left end of the right bracket 1072 to lock the second puller hook 10921 on the motherboard 109.
[0046] In this embodiment, the support column assembly 107 of the ruggedized server 100 is fixedly disposed in the lower left of the chassis 101, and the motherboard 109 and the backplate 110 are both disposed on the left side of the support column assembly 107; wherein, the motherboard 109 is preferably a VPX motherboard in this embodiment; the support column assembly 107 specifically includes a left bracket 1071, a right bracket 1072, a first metal fastener 1073 and a second metal fastener 1074, the left bracket 1071 and the right bracket 1072 are symmetrical to each other, and both the left bracket 1071 and the right bracket 1072 are fixedly disposed in the chassis 101. The motherboard 109 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the chassis 101. A first guide rail groove 10711 is provided on the left inner sidewall of the left bracket 1071. The upper and lower edges of the first guide rail groove 10711 are asymmetrically arranged, meaning the upper edge of the first guide rail groove 10711 is recessed inward relative to its lower edge. This allows the motherboard 109 to rest directly on the lower edge of the first guide rail groove 10711 when inserted, eliminating the need for alignment between the motherboard 109 and the first guide rail groove 10711. Furthermore, a first metal fastener 1073 is provided at the left end of the left bracket 1071. The first metal fastener 1073 is detachably connected to the left bracket 1071, and it has a first square hole for hooking onto the first pull-out hook on the motherboard 109. Additionally, a second guide rail groove is provided on the left inner sidewall of the right bracket 1072. The upper and lower edges of the second guide rail groove are asymmetrically arranged, meaning the upper edge is recessed relative to the lower edge. This allows the motherboard 109 to rest directly on the lower edge of the second guide rail groove when inserted, eliminating the need for alignment between the motherboard 109 and the second guide rail groove. Furthermore, a second metal fastener 1074 is provided at the left end of the right bracket 1072. The second metal fastener 1074 is detachably connected to the right bracket 1072 and has multiple second square holes for hooking the second pull-out aid hook 10921 on the motherboard 109. In addition, in this embodiment, the first metal fastener 1073 and the second metal fastener 1074 are both L-shaped. The L-shaped fastener is preferably made of stainless steel plate bent into shape, which has high strength and is not easy to wear. Even if it is worn, it can be quickly replaced by disassembling the L-shaped fastener from the left bracket 1071 or the L-shaped fastener from the right bracket 1072.
[0047] In specific implementation, when the motherboard 109 is inserted into the space formed by the first guide rail groove 10711 and the second guide rail groove in a sliding fit, the first pull-out aid 1091 and the second pull-out aid 1092 on the motherboard 109 are pushed inward, causing the first pull-out aid 1091 to rotate along the pivot to engage the first pull-out aid hook into the first square hole on the first metal fastener 1073 on the left end of the left bracket 1071. At the same time, the second pull-out aid 1092 rotates along the pivot to engage the second pull-out aid 1092 hook into the second square hole on the second metal fastener 1074 on the left end of the right bracket 1072, thus forming a force-saving lever, thereby achieving complete insertion of the motherboard 109 into the column assembly 107; and When the motherboard 109 is pulled out from the space formed by the first guide rail groove 10711 and the second guide rail groove in a sliding fit, the first puller 1091 and the second puller 1092 on the motherboard 109 are pushed outward, so that the first puller 1091 rotates along the pivot to press the first puller hook against the first abutting surface (not shown) of the first metal fastener 1073 on the left end of the left bracket 1071. At the same time, the second puller 1092 rotates along the pivot to press the second puller hook 10921 against the second abutting surface 10741 of the second metal fastener 1074 on the left end of the right bracket 1072, so as to form a force-saving lever, thereby realizing the separation of the motherboard 109 from the column assembly 107.
[0048] Therefore, through the above embodiments, this application, through the pull-out structure formed by the first guide rail groove 10711 on the left bracket 1071 and the second guide rail groove on the right bracket 1072 in the column assembly 107, enables convenient and quick disassembly and installation of the motherboard 109 without opening the chassis 101 cover. Furthermore, by employing the first metal fastener 1073 and the second metal fastener 1074, the wear of the first pull-out hook and the second pull-out hook 10921 on the motherboard 109 on the first metal fastener 1073 and the second metal fastener 1074 is improved, thereby extending the service life.
