Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic equipment, specifically to a card-type server. Background Technology

[0002] A plug-in server is a high-density server architecture that integrates multiple functional components of a server (such as processors, memory, hard drives, etc.) onto a single card. These cards can be inserted into a shared chassis, which provides the server with infrastructure services such as power supply, heat dissipation, and network connectivity.

[0003] Currently, most plug-in card servers on the market use boards with regular rectangular structures. Compared with conventional boards, L-shaped boards have different structures and different distributions of components and ports, resulting in hardware incompatibility issues between existing plug-in card servers and such L-shaped boards. To address this, we propose an L-shaped plug-in card server. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a plug-in server that restricts the upper and lower ends of the board by upper and lower guide rails, and adds a rear guide rail behind the lower guide rail to restrict the lower end of the board together with the lower guide rail.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A card-insertion server includes a chassis. Inside the chassis is an insertion assembly for installing L-shaped cards. The insertion assembly includes a top plate and a bottom plate, which are arranged parallel to each other within the chassis. The bottom of the top plate has an upper guide rail for inserting the upper end of the L-shaped card, and the top of the bottom plate has a lower guide rail and a rear guide rail for inserting the lower end of the L-shaped card. The rear guide rail is located at the rear end of the lower guide rail, and the number and position of the lower guide rail correspond to the number and position of the upper guide rail, and the number and position of the rear guide rail correspond to the number and position of the lower guide rail.

[0007] Optionally, the L-shaped board includes a motherboard with an L-shaped structure. A panel is fixedly installed on the front side of the motherboard. The panel is perpendicular to the motherboard, and the upper and lower ends of the panel extend to the front sides of the top plate and the bottom plate, respectively.

[0008] Optionally, the front side of the top plate is provided with a first mounting hole corresponding to the upper end of the panel, and the front side of the bottom plate is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the lower end of the panel. The panel is fixedly connected to the top plate and the bottom plate by fasteners, and one end of the fastener passes through the panel and is embedded in the first mounting hole or the second mounting hole.

[0009] Optionally, the lower part of the motherboard protrudes from the upper part, and a first port is installed on the rear side of the lower part of the motherboard, and the rear side of the chassis has interfaces corresponding to the number and position of the first port.

[0010] Optionally, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the side of the first port, the connecting plate is provided with a second connecting hole, and a first connecting hole is provided on one side of the interface, corresponding to the number and position of the second connecting hole.

[0030] The upper guide rail 301 is used for inserting the upper end of the L-shaped board 2, and the lower guide rail 401 and the rear guide rail 403 are used for inserting the lower end of the L-shaped board 2. The number of upper guide rail 301, lower guide rail 401 and rear guide rail 403 are the same. The upper guide rail 301 and lower guide rail 401 are arranged opposite to each other. The rear guide rail 403 and the lower guide rail 401 in the same group are on the same straight line, and there is a certain gap between them in their own length direction, which can improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0031] Multiple upper guide rails 301, lower guide rails 401 and rear guide rails 403 are provided and are distributed at equal intervals along the length direction of the top plate 3 or the bottom plate 4, and the upper guide rails 301 and lower guide rails 401 are of equal length.

[0032] Specifically, the upper guide rail 301, the lower guide rail 401, and the rear guide rail 403 are all provided with slots. The width of the slots corresponds to the thickness of the motherboard 201, and both ends of the slots are arc-shaped openings to facilitate the insertion of the motherboard 201.

[0034] like Figures 1-3 As shown, terminals 103 are fixedly installed inside the chassis 1. The number of terminals 103 is the same as that of the lower guide rail 401, and terminals 103 can be connected to the second port 207 so that the chassis 1 can provide power, network connection and other infrastructure services to the motherboard 201; at the same time, terminals 103 can also be used to position the motherboard 201 through the second port 207.

[0035] An interface 101 is provided on the rear side of the chassis 1. The number and position of the interface 101 correspond to the first port 204. The interface 101 is a through hole and corresponds to the first port 204, which is an HDMI port, so that the server can be connected to external devices.

[0036] Furthermore, a connecting plate 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the first port 204. The connecting plate 205 has a second connecting hole 206, and a first connecting hole 102 corresponding to the number and position of the second connecting hole 206 is provided on one side of the interface 101. The first connecting hole 102 corresponds one-to-one with the second connecting hole 206, which facilitates the connection of the connecting plate 205 to the chassis 1 by screws, thereby realizing the fixed installation of the board on the rear side.

[0037] The upper and lower ends of panel 202 extend to the front of top plate 3 and bottom plate 4, respectively. The front of top plate 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 302, and the front of bottom plate 4 is provided with a second mounting hole 402. The first mounting hole 302 corresponds to the upper end of panel 202, and the second mounting hole 402 corresponds to the lower end of panel 202. The upper and lower ends of panel 202 are also provided with mounting holes. By using fasteners 5 to pass through panel 202 and embed into the first mounting hole 302 or the second mounting hole 402, the front of the board can be fixedly installed.

[0038] Among them, the fastener 5 is a screw, and the panel 202 is fixedly connected to the top plate 3 and the bottom plate 4 by the fastener 5.

[0039] In addition, a handle 203 is fixedly installed on the panel 202. One end of the handle 203 protrudes from the panel 202, making it easy for the user to push and pull the panel 202 and providing a convenient place to grip.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] First, align the lower end of the motherboard 201 with the slot on the lower guide rail 401 and push it horizontally into the chassis 1. The lower end of the motherboard 201 will enter the slot of the rear guide rail 403 along the length of the lower guide rail 401, and the upper end of the motherboard 201 will be embedded in the slot of the upper guide rail 301 until the terminal 103 is inserted into the second port 207. At the same time, the first port 204 is aligned with the interface 101, the first connection hole 102 is aligned with the second connection hole 206, and the inner surfaces of the upper and lower ends of the panel 202 are...
