Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an edge computing server. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of IoT, 5G communication, and AI technologies, edge computing, as a distributed computing model, is being widely applied in fields such as industrial IoT, smart cities, and autonomous driving. Edge computing servers, as the core devices of edge computing, are typically deployed at edge nodes (such as factory workshops, base stations, and retail stores) close to data sources or users to achieve real-time data processing and analysis, reducing latency and bandwidth consumption. However, in practical applications, edge computing servers face challenges such as complex environments, diverse installation conditions, and significant physical stress, especially in industrial scenarios where the equipment may be affected by external pressures such as vibration, impact, and compression.

[0003] Currently, edge computing servers on the market often prioritize computing performance and energy efficiency in their structural design, while exhibiting significant shortcomings in terms of resilience and ease of installation. Specific issues include:

[0004] (1) Low pressure resistance: The shell of traditional edge computing servers is mostly made of ordinary metal materials and lacks reinforcement design against external pressure. When subjected to squeezing or impact, it is easy to deform, which will damage the internal components and affect the normal operation of the equipment.

[0005] (2) Inconvenient installation and adjustment: Existing edge computing servers usually adopt a fixed installation structure, lacking modular and adjustable design. They require complex operations with the help of tools during installation and are difficult to adapt to different installation environments (such as uneven ground or narrow space), which increases the difficulty of deployment and maintenance.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, a novel edge computing server architecture design is urgently needed that can significantly improve resilience and ease of installation while ensuring computing performance, thus adapting to diverse edge computing scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0007] This invention provides an edge computing server that can effectively solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0008] This utility model is implemented as follows:

[0009] An edge computing server, including

[0010] Main housing; a plurality of fasteners provided on the main housing, and a fastening connection structure that engages with the fasteners to enable quick assembly of the main housing;

[0011] A sliding adjustment support structure is provided at the bottom of the main housing for quickly installing the main housing inside the chassis; the sliding adjustment support structure includes a connecting plate, a guide plate disposed between the connecting plates, a sliding member disposed on the guide plate and used in conjunction with the internal components of the chassis, and an adjustment support member disposed at one end of the connecting plate for adjusting the height of the main housing;

[0012] The pressure-resistant structure is installed inside the main housing to improve the deformation resistance of the main housing; the pressure-resistant structure includes a pressure-resistant frame, a first support pad and a second support pad installed at the upper and lower ends of the pressure-resistant frame, and pressure relief components installed on both sides of the pressure-resistant frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model achieves rapid assembly and disassembly of the main housing through the synergistic optimization of multiple structures, while significantly improving its deformation resistance and service life. Specifically, the main housing and fasteners adopt a snap-fit ​​structure, achieving a stable connection through elastic elements, snap-fit ​​protrusions, springs, and snap-fit ​​openings on the outer wall of the fasteners. This design not only simplifies the assembly process, eliminating the need for additional tools and complex operations, but also reduces wear rate and extends service life through the guide slope and high surface finish snap-fit ​​design. In addition, the internal pressure-resistant structure of the main housing uses high-strength lightweight materials and is equipped with rubber support pads and pressure relief components with buffering function, effectively absorbing and dispersing external forces and protecting internal components from damage. The sliding adjustment support structure enables rapid installation and height adjustment of the main housing within the chassis, further enhancing the product's practicality and adaptability. These designs comprehensively improve the product's assembly efficiency, deformation resistance, and service life, reduce production costs and maintenance difficulty, and have significant practical value.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 As shown, an edge computing server includes...

[0029] Main housing 10; several fasteners 100 are provided on the main housing 10, and a fastening connection structure is formed by fastening the fasteners 100 to enable quick assembly of the main housing 10; heat dissipation parts 20 are provided around the main housing 10, and a power button 30 and an interface 40 are provided on the main housing 10.

[0030] A sliding adjustment support structure 50 is provided at the bottom of the main housing 10 for quickly installing the main housing 10 inside the chassis; the sliding adjustment support structure 50 includes a connecting plate 500, a guide plate 501 provided between the connecting plates 500, a sliding member 502 provided on the guide plate 501 and used in conjunction with the internal components of the chassis, and an adjustment support member provided at one end of the connecting plate 500 for adjusting the height of the main housing 10.

[0031] A pressure-resistant structure 60 is installed inside the main housing 10 to improve the deformation resistance of the main housing 10. The pressure-resistant structure 60 includes a pressure-resistant frame 600, a first support pad 602 and a second support pad 603 installed at the upper and lower ends of the pressure-resistant frame 600, and pressure relief components installed on both sides of the pressure-resistant frame 600. The pressure-resistant frame 600 is made of a high-strength, lightweight material.

[0032] The main housing 10 has an elastic element 101 inside, a snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 at one end of the elastic element 101, a spring 103 in the middle of the elastic element 101, and a snap-fit ​​slot 104 on the outer wall of the fastener 100. After the fastener 100 is inserted into the main housing 10, the snap-fit ​​slot 104 engages with the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 at one end of the elastic element 101, and the spring 103 provides a compressive force, thereby fixing the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 and the snap-fit ​​slot 104.

[0033] Furthermore, in order to ensure that the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 and the bayonet 104 can be used for a long time and reduce the wear rate, the front end of the snap-fit ​​protrusion 102 is designed as a 30° to 45° guide slope, and the rear end is kept vertical. When inserted, the slope reduces resistance, and the vertical surface ensures locking strength. The inner wall of the bayonet 104 is designed with a matching tilt angle to reduce stress concentration points and extend service life.

[0034] Furthermore, the dimensions of the latch 104 are precisely matched to the hook-shaped portion of the fastener 100, and the internal surface has a high degree of smoothness, which can minimize the friction during fastening. When assembling the main housing 10, simply align and press the two together, and the hook-shaped portion of the fastener 100 will automatically fall into the latch 104 of the fastening connection structure and lock tightly through its own elastic restoring force, achieving a quick and stable connection. This fastening design greatly improves the assembly efficiency of the product, requiring no additional tools or complicated operating procedures. Even in a mass production environment, assembly can be completed quickly, reducing labor and time costs. When disassembly, repair, or replacement of parts is required, simply apply a certain reverse external force to the fastener 100 to disengage its hook-shaped portion from the groove of the fastening connection structure, easily separating the two parts, which is very convenient.

[0035] A buckle plate 105 is also provided between the main housing 10 and the fastener 100, and a limiting elastic abutment 106 is provided on the buckle plate 105. It should be noted that the limiting elastic abutment 106 has a certain elastic deformation capacity, so it can abut against the fastener 100, further fixing the fastener 100 and making it difficult for it to fall out of the bayonet 104.

[0036] The adjusting support includes a support rod 503, a foot pad ring 504 disposed at one end of the support rod 503, a limiting plate 505 disposed at the top of the foot pad ring 504, and a locking tooth 506 disposed on the limiting plate 505.

[0037] One end of the connecting plate 500 also has a cavity (not shown in the figure) for connecting with the limiting plate 505. The cavity is provided with a secondary locking tooth (not shown in the figure) that engages with the locking tooth 506, so that the support rod 503 can move up and down at one end of the connecting plate 500, thereby adjusting the height of the main housing 10.

[0038] Several heat-conducting grooves 601 are provided around the pressure-resistant frame 600.

[0039] The pressure relief component includes a side seat 604, a limiting rod 6040 mounted on the side seat 604, a movable frame 6041 movably connected to the limiting rod 6040, and a support column 6042 mounted at one end of the two movable frames 6041. A clearance groove (not shown in the figure) is provided at the end of the movable frame 6041 connected to the limiting rod 6040, and an elastic element (not shown in the figure) is provided within the clearance groove. The advantage of this design is that when the movable frame 6041 is pressed down, the elastic element can reduce the intensity of the force on the movable frame 6041, and the clearance groove ensures that the movable frame 6041 has sufficient room to move, thereby achieving a buffering effect, ensuring that the main housing 10 does not deform excessively after being subjected to force, and ensuring that the components inside the main housing 10 are not damaged.

[0040] Both the first support pad 602 and the second support pad 603 are made of rubber. Rubber itself has a certain degree of deformation ability, so when the first support pad 602 and the second support pad 603 are subjected to force, the force will not directly impact the main housing 10, thereby ensuring that the internal components of the main housing 10 are not damaged as much as possible.

[0041] Working principle:

[0042] After the fastener 100 is inserted into the main housing 10, the snap 104 on its outer wall engages with the snap protrusion 102 at one end of the elastic member 101. The spring 103 in the middle of the elastic member 101 provides compressive force, which tightly fixes the snap protrusion 102 and the snap 104, thereby achieving a quick connection between the fastener 100 and the main housing 10. The snap plate 105 and the limiting elastic abutment 106 further restrict the displacement of the fastener 100 to ensure a stable connection. The sliding adjustment support structure 50 cooperates with the internal components of the chassis through the connecting plate 500, the guide plate 501, and the sliding member 502, enabling the main housing 10 to be quickly installed into the chassis. The adjustment support includes a support rod 503, a foot pad ring 504, a limiting snap plate 505, and snap teeth 50. 6. The support rod 503 is connected to the limiting plate 505 through the cavity at one end of the connecting plate 500. The secondary locking teeth in the cavity cooperate with the locking teeth 506, allowing the support rod 503 to move up and down at one end of the connecting plate 500, thereby adjusting the height of the main housing 10 to adapt to the internal space of different chassis. The pressure-resistant structure 60 improves the deformation resistance of the main housing 10 through the pressure-resistant frame 600, the first support pad 602, the second support pad 603 and the pressure relief component. The heat conduction grooves 601 opened around the pressure-resistant frame 600 help dissipate heat and avoid structural deformation caused by temperature rise. The pressure relief component includes a side seat 604, a limiting rod 6040, a movable frame 6041, and a support column 6042. The movable frame 6041, connected to the limiting rod 6040, has a clearance groove and an elastic element at one end. When the main housing 10 is subjected to external pressure, the movable frame 6041 is pressed down, the elastic element absorbs part of the impact force, and the clearance groove provides movement space for the movable frame 6041, thus achieving a buffering effect and preventing excessive deformation of the main housing 10. In summary, through the coordinated work of multiple structures such as the fastener 100, the sliding adjustment support structure 50, the pressure-resistant structure 60, the elastic element 101, and the pressure relief component, the main housing 10 achieves functions such as rapid assembly, height adjustment, pressure buffering, and heat dissipation, ensuring stable operation of the main housing 10 in complex environments and protecting internal components from damage.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
