Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a modular GPU server cluster assembly server. Background Technology
[0002] According to a GPU server architecture disclosed in Chinese Publication No. CN220491278U, this application relates to the field of server technology. The GPU server architecture provided includes a base, multiple blade node modules arranged side-by-side and movably mounted on the base, and a core backplane that is pluggably connected to the multiple blade node modules. Each blade node module is an integrated connection between a computing module and a GPU card. The end of the blade node module closest to the computing module is used for pluggable connection to the core backplane, allowing the blade node module to be inserted or removed via the end closest to the GPU card. This GPU server architecture, while ensuring connectivity between components, allows for direct insertion or removal of the integrated computing module and GPU module from the side, enabling maintenance and replacement without opening the cover, thus improving the simplicity and efficiency of the maintenance process.
[0003] The aforementioned patent documents and prior art have the following technical problems:
[0004] 1. In traditional servers, the installation positions of internal components are usually fixed, which may prevent proper adjustment and layout for components of different sizes and heights. For example, some servers have fixed rack spacing and storage space, which can be very limiting when installing GPUs or other components of different specifications. This can lead to situations where components cannot be installed due to unsuitable size or height, or even if they can be installed, the space may not be fully utilized.
[0005] 2. Traditional server mounting racks may only be installed using simple fixing methods. During server operation, due to possible vibrations, movement, or other external factors, the mounting racks are prone to loosening or even falling off, which can damage internal components. Moreover, there is a lack of effective protective measures for the components placed inside, making them susceptible to falling during transportation or use. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies, such as insufficient flexibility and adaptability in the installation of internal server components, and poor stability and protection of internal structures, by proposing a modular GPU server cluster assembly server.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a modular GPU server cluster assembly server, including a server body and a heat dissipation window, wherein a movable mounting frame and a fixed mounting frame are slidably installed inside the server body, a limiting spring is provided on the top surface inside the movable mounting frame, a shelf is connected to the top of the limiting spring, an adjustment groove is provided at the edge of the top surface of the movable mounting frame, an adjustment plate is provided on the top surface of the shelf, and the end of the adjustment plate is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment groove.
[0008] Preferably, the top surface of the fixed mounting bracket is provided with a ventilation window, and the top surface of the interior of the movable mounting bracket and the surface of the shelf are both provided with ventilation windows.
[0009] Preferably, the server body has mounting grooves on both sides inside, and the mounting grooves penetrate the front of the server body. Both ends of the fixed mounting bracket and the movable mounting bracket are provided with mounting sliders that slide with the mounting grooves. The mounting grooves are vertically and evenly distributed in an array along the inside of the server body.
[0010] Preferably, the server body has positioning blocks arranged in a vertical array on the back side, and both the fixed mounting bracket and the movable mounting bracket have positioning grooves on their back sides that engage with the positioning blocks.
[0011] Preferably, the four edges of the shelf abut against the inner wall of the movable mounting frame, and the mutually perpendicular edge surfaces of the movable mounting frame are provided with adjustment plates, the length of which is 1 / 2 of the side length of the movable mounting frame at the corresponding edge.
[0012] Preferably, the two sides of the inner wall of the server body are evenly abutted together on both sides of the movable mounting frame and the fixed mounting frame, and the top surface of both the movable mounting frame and the fixed mounting frame is a plane.
[0013] Preferably, the edges of both the movable mounting bracket and the fixed mounting bracket are rounded, and the outer edge of the server body is chamfered at 45 degrees.
[0014] Beneficial effects
[0015] In this invention, the server body employs a combination of movable and fixed mounting brackets, along with adjustable slides and adjustment plates. This allows for flexible partitioning of the shelf surface. By sliding the adjustment plate, the partitioning of the shelf can be adjusted according to items of different sizes, thus better accommodating components of varying sizes and meeting the placement needs of components of different specifications. The cooperation between the mounting slider and the mounting slide allows for adjustment of the distance between the fixed and movable mounting brackets, enabling the installation of items of different heights. This design makes the server's internal component layout more flexible and diverse, improving its adaptability to components of different sizes and heights, accommodating various types of parts, and providing more layout options for the installation of internal server components.
[0016] In this invention, a limiting spring and a shelf are used in conjunction within the movable mounting bracket. When an item is placed on the shelf, the limiting spring is compressed by the downward pressure of the shelf, thus providing cushioning and protection to prevent items from falling due to accidents and protecting the safety of internal components. The positioning block and positioning groove work together to position and engage the fixed and movable mounting brackets, effectively preventing them from falling off due to vibration or other external forces during server use. This ensures the stability of the internal mounting brackets, guarantees the robustness of the server's internal structure, reduces the risk of component damage due to mounting bracket detachment, and ensures the normal operation of the server.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, and achieved objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. However, the following embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments described in the implementation plan without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 A modular GPU server cluster assembly server includes a server body 1 and a heat dissipation window 9. The heat dissipation window 9 is located on the back of the server body 1. The server body 1 is the core part of the entire modular GPU server cluster assembly server, used to house various components and serving as the platform for the components required for normal server operation. The heat dissipation window 9 provides heat dissipation for the internal components of the server, preventing overheating from affecting the server's performance and lifespan. The heat dissipation window 9 typically utilizes the principle of heat exchange to transfer the heat generated inside the server to the external environment, keeping the internal temperature of the server within a suitable range. Generally, this may be achieved through air convection, with hot air being exhausted from the server and cool air entering from the outside. When the server starts running, its internal components, such as the GPU, generate heat, which accumulates inside the server body 1. The heat is then conducted through the air to the vicinity of the heat dissipation window 9, which dissipates the heat using its own structure and its connectivity with the outside environment.
[0029] The server body 1 is internally equipped with a movable mounting frame 7 and a fixed mounting frame 8. A limiting spring 701 is located on the top surface of the movable mounting frame 7. A shelf 702 is connected to the top of the limiting spring 701. The edges of the shelf 702 abut against the inner wall of the movable mounting frame 7. This abutment ensures that items placed on the shelf will not experience instability due to gaps at the edges. An adjusting plate 704 moves within an adjusting groove 703 according to its length and position, adjusting the partitions based on the size and quantity of items. The movable mounting frame 7 is a movable structure inside the server used for installing and placing components. The limiting spring 701 on its top surface is connected to the shelf 702, which supports the items to be installed. 701 provides elastic support for the shelf 702. When an item is placed on the shelf 702, the weight of the item will cause the shelf 702 to press down, which will compress the limiting spring 701. The elastic force of the limiting spring 701 will be adjusted according to the position of the shelf 702 and the weight of the item. The shelf 702 is initially at a certain height. When an item is placed on it, the shelf 702 will overcome the elastic force of the limiting spring 701 and move downward, so that the movable mounting bracket 7 can adjust its own state according to the position change of the shelf 702. On the one hand, the shelf 702 can support the item, and on the other hand, the cooperation between the limiting spring 701 and the shelf 702 can achieve a certain buffering and protection function to prevent the item from falling due to improper placement or vibration.
[0030] An adjustment groove 703 is provided at the top edge of the movable mounting frame 7. An adjustment plate 704 is provided on the top surface of the shelf 702, and the end of the adjustment plate 704 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment groove 703. Adjustment plates 704 are provided on the mutually perpendicular edges of the movable mounting frame 7, and the length of the adjustment plate 704 is half the length of the side surface of the movable mounting frame 7 at its respective edge. This length is designed to provide a certain range and flexibility when adjusting the shelf 702. The adjustment groove 703 is located at the top edge of the movable mounting frame 7, and the end of the adjustment plate 704 is slidably connected to the inside of the adjustment groove 703. The adjustable plate 704 can slide within the adjustable slide 703 to divide the shelf 702 into different areas. By changing the position of the adjustable plate 704, the surface of the shelf 702 can be divided into different areas. According to the size of the items to be placed, the position of the adjustable plate 704 within the adjustable slide 703 can be manually adjusted to divide the shelf 702 into appropriate areas to accommodate items of different sizes, thus achieving partitioned placement. Through the cooperation of the adjustable plate 704 and the adjustable slide 703, the surface of the shelf 702 can be flexibly partitioned, increasing the adaptability to items of different sizes, facilitating the organization and placement of items of different specifications, and improving the efficiency of the shelf 702.
[0031] The top surface of the fixed mounting bracket 8 is provided with a ventilation window 6, and the top surface of the movable mounting bracket 7 and the surface of the shelf 702 are also provided with ventilation windows 6. The fixed mounting bracket 8 is another structure inside the server body 1 used for installing components. Its position is relatively fixed relative to the movable mounting bracket 7. The top surface of the fixed mounting bracket 8 is provided with a ventilation window 6, which helps with ventilation and heat dissipation. The ventilation window 6 allows air to circulate inside the server, allowing hot air to flow better around the fixed mounting bracket 8 and accelerating heat dissipation. During server operation, the air around the fixed mounting bracket 8 will flow due to temperature difference. Through the ventilation window 6, hot air can be better discharged and cold air can enter, taking away the heat generated by the components installed on the fixed mounting bracket 8.
[0032] The mounting grooves 2 on both sides inside the server body 1 provide mounting tracks for the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7. The mounting sliders 3 at both ends of the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 can slide within the mounting grooves 2. The mounting grooves 2 are provided on both sides inside the server body 1 and penetrate through the front of the server body 1. The fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 are provided with mounting sliders 3 at both ends that slide with the mounting grooves 2. The mounting grooves 2 are vertically and evenly distributed along the inside of the server body 1. The mounting sliders 3 slide within the mounting grooves 2, allowing the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 to move up and down along the mounting grooves 2. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7, the mounting brackets can be pushed or pulled, and the mounting sliders 3 at both ends will slide within the mounting grooves 2 to adjust the position of the mounting brackets. Through the cooperation of the mounting sliders 3 and the mounting grooves 2, the distance between the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 can be easily adjusted, so that their positions can be adjusted according to the needs of items of different heights, improving the adaptability to the installation of items of different heights.
[0033] Positioning blocks 4 are vertically arrayed on the back of the server body 1. Both the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 have positioning grooves 5 on their backs that engage with the positioning blocks 4. When the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 are installed in place, the positioning grooves 5 engage with the positioning blocks 4, restricting movement of the mounting bracket in certain directions. When the mounting bracket moves along the mounting slide 2 to the appropriate position, the positioning grooves 5 align and engage with the corresponding positioning blocks 4, ensuring the stability of the mounting bracket's position. The cooperation of the positioning blocks 4 and the positioning grooves 5 effectively prevents the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7 from falling off during use, improving the stability of the server's internal structure.
[0034] The movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 abut against the inner walls of the server body 1 on both sides. The top surfaces of both the movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 are flat. The abutment of the sides of the movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 against the inner walls of the server body 1 ensures the stability of the mounting bracket and the accuracy of the installation position. The flat top surfaces of the movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 facilitate the placement and installation of items. The edges of the surfaces of the movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 are rounded. The outer edges of the server body 1 are chamfered at 45 degrees. The rounded edges of the surfaces of the movable mounting bracket 7 and the fixed mounting bracket 8 can prevent sharp edges from causing injury to personnel and other parts. The 45-degree chamfer at the outer edges of the server body 1 improves the aesthetics of the appearance and avoids potential injury from sharp edges.
[0035] In summary, this modular GPU server cluster assembly server, through the cooperation of the aforementioned components and structures, achieves modular installation of internal devices. It allows for flexible adjustment of the mounting rack position and the partitioning of the shelf 702 to accommodate items of different sizes and heights, while ensuring the stability and security of the internal structure. It also takes into account the needs of heat dissipation and appearance, providing convenience and assurance for the assembly and use of the server. Specific Implementation Example 2:
[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 6 Based on the content of the above specific embodiments, the following content is further disclosed:
[0038] This application mainly addresses the placement of internal components in a large server architecture. Specifically, regarding the power supply and other equipment inside the server main body 1, in actual use, the server main body 1 must contain at least the following devices and components to ensure its normal operation:
[0039] Power supply system: Provides stable power support for various components within the server, and is the foundation for the normal operation of the server;
[0040] This includes power modules, power cords, and power interfaces. The power module converts external AC power into DC power required by the server components. Different server components may require different voltages and currents; therefore, the power module needs multiple outputs to meet the power demands of components such as the CPU, GPU, memory, and hard drive. The power cord transmits the power generated by the power module to the various components, while the power interface acts as a bridge between the external power supply and the server, ensuring good conductivity and reliability to prevent poor contact.
[0041] To ensure the stability of the power supply, a power management system may also be required to monitor and regulate the power input and output. In the event of power fluctuations or abnormalities, the output can be adjusted in a timely manner to avoid damage to server components due to excessively high or low voltage.
[0042] Data storage system: Used to store the data required by the server, including operating system, applications, user data, etc.
[0043] Typically, it includes a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD), or a combination of both. Hard disk drives offer large-capacity data storage but have relatively slow read and write speeds; solid-state drives offer high-speed read and write performance but have relatively higher storage costs. They can be connected to the server motherboard via hard drive interfaces such as SATA, SAS, or NVMe.
[0044] It may also be necessary to equip a RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) controller. When multiple hard drives form a RAID array, the RAID controller can store and manage data according to different RAID levels, such as RAID 0, RAID 1, and RAID 5, to improve data storage performance and reliability. For example, RAID 1 achieves data redundancy through data mirroring; if one hard drive fails, a copy of the data on another hard drive ensures that the data is not lost. RAID 5 achieves data redundancy and performance improvement through parity information.
[0045] Processor and memory system: The processor, such as the CPU or GPU, is the core of the server's computing power, responsible for executing various instructions and computing tasks, while memory provides the processor with space for data storage and fast access, used to temporarily store the data and programs that the processor is processing.
[0046] The processor needs to be installed in the motherboard's processor socket. Different server processors may have different socket types, such as Intel's LGA or AMD's PGA. To ensure the processor operates normally, appropriate cooling devices are required, such as air coolers or liquid coolers, because the processor generates a lot of heat during high-load operations.
[0047] Memory is typically installed in memory slots on the motherboard in the form of memory modules. The capacity and frequency of the memory affect the server's performance. To meet different application requirements, servers can install multiple memory modules, which must ensure good compatibility and collaborative operation. A memory controller is also needed to manage the memory to ensure correct data reading, writing, and storage.
[0048] Board and Bus System: The motherboard is the platform connecting various components inside the server, responsible for connecting components such as processors, memory, storage devices, and network interfaces to each other to realize the transmission of data and instructions; the bus system is the channel on the motherboard for transmitting data and signals.
[0049] The motherboard contains multiple expansion slots, such as PCIe slots, for installing expansion cards, such as GPU cards, network cards, and sound cards. The number and bandwidth of PCIe slots determine the expandable functionality and performance of the server.
[0050] The motherboard's bus system, including the front-side bus, data bus, and address bus, must ensure high-speed and stable data transmission to enable efficient communication between different components. In addition, the motherboard is equipped with various chipsets responsible for managing the various components on the motherboard and coordinating their operation. For example, the northbridge chip connects high-speed devices such as the CPU and memory, while the southbridge chip connects low-speed devices such as hard drives and external interfaces.
[0051] Network interface system: Enables servers to connect to the network, enabling data transmission and information exchange;
[0052] This includes the Network Interface Card (NIC), which can be a wired network card such as an Ethernet interface card or a wireless network card. Wired network cards typically offer different network speeds, such as 1Gbps, 10Gbps, or even higher. They are connected to network switches via network cables to enable communication between the server and other servers or clients.
[0053] The network interface card also needs to support the corresponding network protocols, such as TCP / IP, to ensure the correct transmission and processing of data in the network. Furthermore, to improve network performance and reliability, multiple network interface cards may be required to achieve network redundancy or load balancing, preventing server service interruptions due to network failures.
[0054] These structures work together to ensure the normal operation of the main server 1, providing users with efficient and stable server services. When designing and assembling servers using modular GPU server clusters, in addition to the existing movable mounting brackets 7 and fixed mounting brackets 8, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider the above-mentioned important structural components to ensure that the server can work normally in various complex environments and different application scenarios, meeting users' needs for data storage, computing, network services, etc.
[0055] In summary:
[0056] 1. The server body 1 adopts a combination of movable mounting bracket 7 and fixed mounting bracket 8 inside, with the help of adjusting slide 703 and adjusting plate 704. The surface of the shelf 702 can be flexibly divided. By sliding the adjusting plate 704, the partition of the shelf 702 can be adjusted according to items of different sizes, so as to better place components of different sizes and meet the placement needs of components of different specifications. By using the cooperation of mounting slider 3 and mounting slide 2, the distance between fixed mounting bracket 8 and movable mounting bracket 7 can be adjusted, thereby realizing the installation of items of different heights. This design makes the layout of internal components of the server more flexible and diverse, improves the adaptability of the server to components of different sizes and heights, can accommodate a variety of types of components, and provides more layout options for the installation of internal components of the server.
[0057] 2. The limiting spring 701 inside the movable mounting bracket 7 works in conjunction with the shelf 702. When an item is placed on the surface of the shelf 702, the limiting spring 701 is compressed by the downward pressure of the shelf 702. This provides cushioning and protection when items are placed, preventing items from falling due to accidents such as vibration or collision, thus protecting the safety of internal components. The positioning block 4 and the positioning groove 5 work together to position and engage the fixed mounting bracket 8 and the movable mounting bracket 7, effectively preventing them from falling off due to vibration or other external forces during server use. This ensures the stability of the internal mounting bracket, guarantees the robustness of the server's internal structure, reduces the risk of component damage due to mounting bracket detachment, and ensures the normal operation of the server.
