[0039] Server, which is a device that stores, processes and distributes data to other clients on the network to ensure that multiple users can access shared resources and services at the same time.

[0040] In the related art, a server can assemble input and output modules of different configurations to achieve different input and output requirements. However, when a user replaces input and output modules of different configurations, the replaced input and output modules become waste products, resulting in high replacement costs.

[0041] The present inventors have found that a connection bracket can be designed to connect a plurality of modules having input and output functions (e.g., a first module and a second module). The plurality of modules having input and output functions are different to achieve different input and output requirements. During replacement, the module that can continue to be used (e.g., the first module) is retained on the connection bracket, and the module that is not needed (e.g., the second module) is removed or the module that is needed (e.g., the second module) is connected to the connection bracket. In this way, the retained module (e.g., the first module) can avoid becoming a waste product, thereby reducing replacement costs.

[0042] First aspect

[0043] The present disclosure provides a connection bracket 10, as shown in Figures 1 to 9 The connection bracket 10 can include a bracket body 11 and a shielding assembly 12. The bracket body 11 has a first region 111 and a second region 112. The first region 111 is provided with a first connecting portion 113 for limiting a first module 21. The second region 112 is provided with a second connecting portion 114 for limiting a second module 22. The shielding assembly 12 is connected to the bracket body 11. In a first use mode, at least part of the second connecting portion 114 is shielded by the shielding assembly 12, so that the second connecting portion 114 has a first target size. In a second use mode, the second connecting portion 114 is not shielded by the shielding assembly 12, so that the second connecting portion 114 has a second target size, which is larger than the first target size.

[0044] The bracket body 11 can have the first region 111 and the second region 112 in the same plane, or the first region 111 and the second region 112 in two parallel planes, respectively. For example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the support body 11 has a first region 111 and a second region 112 in the same plane. The first region 111 is provided with a first connecting portion 113 which can limit the first module 21, and the second region 112 is provided with a second connecting portion 114 which can limit the second module 22, so that the support body 11 can limit at least one of the first module 21 and the second module 22; the first connecting portion 113 can be a through hole allowing the first module 21 to pass through, can be a clamping structure capable of clamping the first module 21, or can be other settings; the second connecting portion 114 can be a through hole allowing the second module 22 to pass through, can be a clamping structure capable of clamping the second module 22, or can be other settings.

[0045] The shielding assembly 12 can be connected with the support body 11, and has a first use mode and a second use mode, and can at least switch from the first use mode to the second use mode; in the first use mode, the shielding assembly 12 shields part or all of the second connecting portion 114, so that the size of the second connecting portion 114 (such as a first target size) does not meet the limiting requirement of the second module 22, so that the first region 111 can correspond to the first module 21 and the second region 112 cannot correspond to the second module 22; in the second use mode, the shielding assembly 12 does not shield the second connecting portion 114, so that the size of the second connecting portion 114 (such as a second target size) can meet the limiting requirement of the second module 22, so that the first region 111 can connect the first module 21 and the second region 112 can connect the second module 22. The first module 21 can be a module adapted to a first setting form of a server, which can include a power interface, a working state indicator, a fault indicator, a Micro USB interface, etc.; the second module 22 can be a module adapted to a second setting form of a server, which can include a USB 3.0 interface, a USB Type-C interface, etc.

[0046] In an example, an input and output module 20 can be provided with a connecting support 10, as shown in Figures 3 to 8As shown, the connecting support 10 can include a support body 11 and a shielding assembly 12, the support body 11 has a first region 111 and a second region 112 in the same plane, the first region 111 is provided with a first connecting part 113 for limiting the first module 21, and the second region 112 is provided with a second connecting part 114 for limiting the second module 22; the shielding assembly 12 is connected with the support body 11, and the shielding assembly 12 is in a first use mode relative to the support body 11, at least part of the second connecting part 114 is shielded by the shielding assembly 12, so that the second connecting part 114 has a first target size; the shielding assembly 12 is in a second use mode relative to the support body 11, the second connecting part 114 is not shielded by the shielding assembly 12, so that the second connecting part 114 has a second target size, the second target size is larger than the first target size, and the second target size can meet the limitation of the second module 22, while the first target size cannot meet the limitation of the second module 22.

[0047] In this embodiment, the connecting support 10 can have a first region 111 and a second region 112, the first region 111 can be provided with a first connecting part 113 capable of limiting the first module 21, and the second region 112 can be provided with a second connecting part 114 capable of limiting the second module 22, and the connecting support 10 can also be provided with a shielding assembly 12, the shielding assembly 12 can at least partially shield the second connecting part 114 of the second region 112, so that the connecting support 10 can be in a first use mode of limiting the first module 21 and not limiting the second module 22, or the shielding assembly 12 can also expose the second connecting part 114 of the second region 112, so that the connecting support 10 can be in a second use mode of limiting the first module 21 and the second module 22; in this way, in the scene of using the first module 21 alone (i.e. the first use mode), when it is needed to switch to using the first module 21 and the second module 22 at the same time, the second connecting part 114 of the second region 112 can be exposed by the shielding assembly 12, and the second module 22 can be limited on the second connecting part 114, so that the first module 21 can be continuously used after replacement, so as to reduce the replacement cost.

[0048] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the first connecting part 113 has a plurality of first hole positions 1131 for limiting a plurality of first control parts 211 of the first module 21 respectively, and the second connecting part 114 has a plurality of second hole positions 1141 for limiting a plurality of second control parts 221 of the second module 22 respectively; the shielding assembly 12 includes at least one shielding piece 121, the shielding piece 121 is arranged at a position corresponding to the second region 112 and the second hole position 1141, so that at least part of the second hole position 1141 can be shielded by the shielding piece 121.

[0049] That is, the first connecting portion 113 can include a plurality of first hole positions 1131, the plurality of first hole positions 1131 can be respectively threaded through the plurality of first control portions 211 of the first module 21, and the threaded first control portions 211 are fixed relative to the corresponding first hole positions 1131, so that the plurality of first control portions 211 can be respectively limited by the plurality of first hole positions 1131; the second connecting portion 114 can include a plurality of second hole positions 1141, the plurality of second hole positions 1141 can be respectively threaded through the plurality of second control portions 221 of the second module 22, and the threaded second control portions 221 are fixed relative to the corresponding second hole positions 1141, so that the plurality of second control portions 221 can be respectively limited by the plurality of second hole positions 1141. The first control portion 211 can be a control portion corresponding to a power interface, a working state indicator, a fault indicator, a Micro USB interface, etc., and the first hole position 1131 of a matching shape can be provided according to the different profiles of the first control portion 211; the second control portion 221 can be a control portion corresponding to a USB 3.0 interface, a USB Type-C interface, etc., and the second hole position 1141 of a matching shape can be provided according to the different profiles of the second control portion 221.

[0050] In the case of one shielding piece 121, it can shield part or all of each second hole position 1141, so that the size of each second hole position 1141 is small and cannot thread through the second control portion 221; in the case of multiple shielding pieces 121, one shielding piece 121 can shield part or all of each of one or more second hole positions 1141, so that the size of each second hole position 1141 is small and cannot thread through the second control portion 221, or multiple shielding pieces 121 can shield part or all of the same second hole position 1141, so that part or all of each of the plurality of second hole positions 1141 of the second connecting portion 114 is shielded, so that the size of each second hole position 1141 is small and cannot thread through the second control portion 221.

[0051] In the embodiment, the first connecting portion 113 can be a plurality of first hole positions 1131, so as to respectively limit the plurality of first control portions 211 of the first module 21 in a sleeving manner; the second control portion 221 can be a plurality of second hole positions 1141, so as to respectively limit the plurality of second control portions 221 of the second module 22 in a sleeving manner; the hole position setting mode is simple and convenient for manufacturing, and the assembly mode of the threaded hole position is convenient. The shielding assembly 12 can be one shielding piece 121 or multiple shielding pieces 121, which can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions.

[0052] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, the first target size of the second connecting portion 114 is the remaining area size of any second hole 1141 after being shielded by the shielding member 121; the second target size of the second connecting portion 114 is the area size of any second hole 1141 not shielded by the shielding member 121; one second target size is adapted to one second control portion 221.

[0053] That is, in the first use mode, the remaining area size of any second hole 1141 of the second area 112 after being shielded by the shielding member 121 is too small to limit the second control portion 221, and the size of the second hole 1141 in this mode is small, so as to reduce the electromagnetic interference caused by the airflow straight through the two ends of the corresponding second hole 1141 of the support body 11; and in the second use mode, the size of any second hole 1141 of the second area 112 can limit the corresponding second control portion 221, and since the second control portion 221 is arranged in the second hole 1141, the electromagnetic interference caused by the airflow straight through the two ends of the corresponding second hole 1141 of the support body 11 can be reduced; in this way, in the first use mode and the second use mode, the electromagnetic interference phenomenon can be reduced.

[0054] For example, referring to Figure 1 As shown, the number of shielding members 121 can be consistent with the number of second holes 1141, one shielding member 121 corresponds to one second hole 1141 for shielding or exposing, and the center of each shielding member 121 is provided with a strip-shaped opening, the size of the opening is too small to satisfy the limiting arrangement of the second control portion 221, and the size of the opening is small to reduce electromagnetic interference. Moreover, the connection between the shielding member 121 and the support body 11 is small in size, so that the shielding member 121 can be separated from the support body 11 by applying a pushing force or a pulling force to the shielding member 121, and then the second control portion 221 can be limited by the second hole 1141.

[0055] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shielding member 121 is detachably connected with the support body 11, so that the connecting support 10 can be switched from the first use mode to the second use mode.

[0056] The detachable connection can be achieved by screwing the shield 121 to the bracket body 11, thus confining the connecting bracket 10 to a posture corresponding to the first usage mode. When the screws are removed, the shield 121 can be separated from the bracket body 11, allowing the connecting bracket 10 to switch to a posture corresponding to the second usage mode. The shield 121 can then be reattached to the bracket body 11 using screws, allowing the connecting bracket 10 to switch back to the posture corresponding to the first usage mode. Alternatively, it can be achieved by clamping... The structure clamps the shield 121 onto the bracket body 11, thereby confining the connecting bracket 10 to a posture corresponding to the first usage mode. When the clamping structure disengages from the shield 121, the shield 121 can be separated from the bracket body 11, allowing the connecting bracket 10 to be switched to a posture corresponding to the second usage mode. The shield 121 can be reattached to the bracket body 11 via the clamping structure, allowing the connecting bracket 10 to be switched back to the posture corresponding to the first usage mode. Other configurations are also possible.

[0057] In this embodiment, the shielding member 121 is detachably connected to the bracket body 11, so that the switching from the first usage mode to the second usage mode can be conveniently realized. In the second usage mode, since the shielding member 121 is detached from the bracket body 11, the space occupied by the shielding member 121 can be reduced. The detached shielding member 121 can wait to be reconnected to the bracket body 11, or it can be used for other purposes.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one edge A of the shielding member 121 is connected to the support body 11, and when the shielding member 121 is subjected to the target force, the one edge A of the shielding member 121 breaks off from the support body 11.

[0059] In other words, the shielding component 121 is as follows Figure 1 The connection strength between edge A and the support body 11 is less than the strength of the blocking member 121 and the support body 11 itself. Therefore, under the influence of pushing, pulling, or other target forces, the blocking member 121 can move relative to the support body 11, allowing it to break away from the support body 11, thus enabling the second hole 1141 to... Figure 2 The exposed portion allows connection to the second control unit 221. For example, a discontinuous hole extending in a straight line is provided between an edge A of the shield 121 and the support body 11, so that when an operator applies a target force such as a pushing or pulling force to the shield 121, the shield 121 can move relative to the support body 11, allowing the shield 121 to break away from the support body 11, thereby exposing the second hole 1141 to allow connection to the second control unit 221.

[0060] In this embodiment, the breakable connection between the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11 allows the connection support 10 to switch from the first use mode to the second use mode, and the detached shielding piece 121 can be used for other purposes.

[0061] In other embodiments, the shielding piece 121 is movable relative to the support body 11 to allow the connection support 10 to switch from the first use mode to the second use mode; the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11 are movably connected by any of the following ways:

[0062] rotatable connection between the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11;

[0063] flip connection between the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11;

[0064] sliding connection between the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11.

[0065] In other words, during the switching from the first use mode to the second use mode, the shielding piece 121 can be always connected to the support body 11, for example, one corner of the shielding piece 121 is connected to the support body 11 through a rotating shaft, so that the shielding piece 121 can rotate relative to the rotating shaft to switch between shielding at least part of the second hole site 1141 and exposing the second hole site 1141; for another example, the shielding piece 121 is connected to the support body 11 through a hinge, so that the shielding piece 121 can flip relative to the support body 11 to switch between shielding at least part of the second hole site 1141 and exposing the second hole site 1141; for another example, the support body 11 can be provided with a sliding rail, and the shielding piece 121 can be slidably connected to the sliding rail, so that the shielding piece 121 can slide relative to the support body 11 to switch between shielding at least part of the second hole site 1141 and exposing the second hole site 1141. Of course, the movable connection between the shielding piece 121 and the support body 11 can also be other ways, which will not be described here.

[0066] In this embodiment, during the switching from the first use mode to the second use mode, the shielding piece 121 can be always connected to the support body 11, which can reduce the risk of loss or damage of the shielding piece 121 after being detached, and can quickly operate the shielding piece 121 when switching from the second use mode to the first use mode, so as to improve the switching efficiency.

[0067] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 8As shown, the connecting bracket 10 can further include a first fixing structure 13 and a second fixing structure 14. The first fixing structure 13 is arranged on one side of the bracket body 11 and corresponds to the first region 111.
