[0044] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art.
[0045] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.
[0046] Example 1
[0047] Reference Appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 4 Embodiment 1 of this application proposes an installation structure, which includes: a first bracket 1 for mounting a first electronic device 3; and a second bracket 2, the second bracket 2 being connected to the first bracket 1, the first side 2a of the second bracket 2 forming a first installation area with the first bracket 1 for accommodating the first electronic device 3, and the second side 2b of the second bracket 2 having a second installation area for mounting a second electronic device 4; the first side 2a and the second side 2b of the second bracket 2 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0048] Specifically, the installation structure provided in this embodiment can be installed inside an electronic device, which can be, but is not limited to, a server, a computer, a workstation, etc. Taking a server as an example, the installation location of the installation structure inside the server can be an empty target installation area 601. The installation structure can install at least two electronic devices, which can effectively utilize the space inside the server and reduce the number of structural components used inside the server.
[0049] The mounting structure mainly includes a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2. The second bracket 2 is connected to the first bracket 1. The first side 2a of the second bracket 2 and the first bracket 1 can form a first mounting area, in which a first electronic device 3 can be installed. The second side 2b of the second bracket 2 can form a second mounting area, in which a second electronic device 4 can be installed. Here, the second side 2b refers to the side of the second bracket 2 opposite to the first side 2a. For example, the entire side of the second bracket 2 facing the first bracket 1 can be set as the first side 2a, or only the side of the second bracket 2 facing the main body of the first bracket 1 can be set as the first side 2a, so that the installation of the second bracket 2 and the first bracket 1 can achieve the formation of a first mounting area between them. The first side 2a and the second side 2b of the second bracket 2 can be two sides spaced apart in the depth direction of the electronic device, so that the mounting structure can save the internal horizontal space of the electronic device when installing the first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4. Alternatively, the first side 2a and the second side 2b of the second bracket 2 can be two sides spaced apart in the horizontal direction of the electronic device, so that the mounting structure can save the internal depth space of the electronic device when installing the first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4.
[0050] Specifically, the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can be installed in a detachable manner, such as by plugging in or screwing in with bolts or other connectors. The first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4 can be devices of the same type, or they can be devices of different types. For example, the first electronic device 3 can be an M.2 module, specifically a pluggable M.2 module, that is, an M.2 interface storage device that supports plugging and unplugging while the system is running. M.2 is an abbreviation for Next Generation Form Factor (NGFF), which refers to a new generation of form factor. The M.2 specification defines various module sizes and pin definitions to meet the needs of different devices and application scenarios. M.2 modules have a compact size and excellent performance. The second electronic device 4 can be a SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) controller clip, that is, a hardware interface card used to connect SATA storage devices. After the mounting structure is installed inside the electronic device, and the first electronic device 3 is installed in the first mounting area of the first bracket 1, and the second electronic device 4 is installed in the second mounting area of the second bracket 2, the first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4 can be electrically connected to the motherboard 7 of the electronic device through cables, but not limited to.
[0051] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3In a specific implementation, the first bracket 1 includes: a first plate 11 and a second plate 12, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are connected and perpendicular to each other; the first side 2a of the second bracket 2 faces the first bracket 1, and the second bracket 2 is connected to the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 to form the first installation area.
[0052] Specifically, in order to achieve reliable installation of the first electronic device 3 on the first bracket 1, the technical solution adopted in this application is that the main structure of the first bracket 1 can be composed of a first plate 11 and a second plate 12, and the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 are perpendicular to each other, which can form stronger structural stability and facilitate the connection and cooperation with other structures in the electronic device; the first side 2a of the second bracket 2 faces the first bracket 1, and the second bracket 2 is connected with the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 to form an integral structure, and the second bracket 2, the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 enclose a first installation area for installing and accommodating the first electronic device 3. This structural design can make full use of space, facilitate the formation of a compact first installation area that is compatible with the first electronic device 3, and is beneficial to the protection of the first electronic device 3.
[0053] The first plate 11 can be the supporting part of the first bracket 1, used to support the first electronic device 3 from the bottom, while the second plate 12 can be used to install and protect the first electronic device 3 from the side, but is not limited thereto; the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 can be an integral structure, or they can be two detachable parts.
[0054] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 In a specific implementation, the first bracket 1 further includes a third plate 13, which is connected to and perpendicular to the second plate 12. The second side 2b of the second bracket 2 has a second mounting area between it and the third plate 13 for mounting a second electronic device 4. The second electronic device 4 and the first electronic device 3 are stacked along a first direction a; wherein the first direction a is perpendicular to the first plate 11.
[0055] Specifically, in order to achieve reliable installation of the second electronic device 4 on the second bracket 2, the technical solution adopted in this application includes a third plate 13 on the first bracket 1. The third plate 13 and the first plate 11 are connected to the same side of the first plate 11, and the third plate 13 is opposite to and parallel to the first plate 11. The arrangement of the third plate 13 can enhance the stability of the structure of the first bracket 1. The second side 2b of the second bracket 2 is away from the first plate 11 and has a second installation area between it and the third plate 13. The second installation area can be used to install the second electronic device 4, so that the second electronic device 4 and the first electronic device 3 are stacked along the first direction a. Here, the first direction a is perpendicular to the first plate 11 and the third plate 13, thereby saving the arrangement space in the direction parallel to the first plate 11 and improving the space utilization rate.
[0056] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 and attached Figure 4 In a specific implementation, the second bracket 2 is provided with an adapter plate 5, which is electrically connected to the second electronic device 4. The adapter plate 5 and the second electronic device 4 are stacked along the first direction a; wherein, the first direction a is perpendicular to the first plate 11.
[0057] The first electronic device 3 can be an M.2 module. The M.2 module can be disposed in the first mounting area along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction a and parallel to the first plate 11.
[0058] Specifically, taking the electronic device used in the installation structure provided in this embodiment as a 4U GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) server, and the second electronic device 4 as an example (e.g., a SATA controller clip), where 4U refers to a height of 4 units (i.e., 17.78 cm, 1U equals 4.445 cm), in order to enable the 4U GPU server to reuse the SATA controller clip developed for 2U general-purpose servers, the technical solution adopted in this application can set an adapter board 5 in the second installation area of the second bracket 2. When the second electronic device 4 is installed in the second installation area, the second electronic device 4 can be electrically connected to the adapter board 5. The adapter board 5 can be connected to the motherboard 7 of the electronic device through a connecting cable. That is, the adapter board 5 plays a role in conversion, transmitting electrical signals between different components, which can realize the reuse of the second electronic device 4 for different types of servers and avoid the need for a 4U... The GPU server redevelops components with the same functions, thereby reducing development costs and time costs; the insertion direction of the adapter board 5 and the second electronic device 4 can be the first direction a, or the insertion direction of the adapter board 5 and the second electronic device 4 can also be the second direction, so that the adapter board 5 and the second electronic device 4 are stacked along the first direction a, which can further save space, make the internal layout of the electronic device more compact, and this connection method can be more easily disassembled and replaced, which is convenient for device maintenance.
[0059] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 3 In a specific implementation, a connecting frame 14 is provided on the first plate 11, and a connecting beam 15 is connected between the connecting frame 14 and the second plate 12. The connecting beam 15 is parallel to the first plate 11. A reinforcing beam 16 is provided on the side of the connecting beam 15 away from the first plate 11. The reinforcing beam 16 is locked and fixed to the connecting beam 15 and the third plate 13 respectively.
[0060] Specifically, to improve the strength and stability of the first support 1, the technical solution adopted in this application includes a connecting frame 14 on the first plate 11. The connecting frame 14 can be located on the edge of the first plate 11 away from the second plate 12, and can be located at one end of this edge. The extension direction of the connecting frame 14 can be a first direction a, that is, a direction perpendicular to the first plate 11. The extension length of the connecting frame 14 in the first direction a can be adapted to the extension length of the second plate 12 in that direction. The end of the connecting frame 14 away from the first plate 11 is connected to the second plate 12. The connecting beam 15 extends parallel to the first plate 11. The connection between the connecting frame 14 and the connecting beam 15 improves the reliability of the connection between the first plate 11 and the second plate 12. A reinforcing beam 16 is installed on the side of the connecting beam 15 away from the first plate 11. The reinforcing beam 16 is locked and fixed to the connecting beam 15 and the third plate 13 respectively, which can further improve the integrity of the third plate 13 with the first plate 11 and the second plate 12, thereby enhancing the strength and stability of the overall structure of the first support 1, enabling the first support 1 to provide more stable support and load-bearing for the first electronic device 3.
[0061] The connecting beam 15 can be provided with connecting reinforcement parts 151 at both ends. The dimension of the connecting reinforcement parts 151 in the first direction a is larger than the dimension of other parts of the connecting beam 15 in the first direction a. The edges of the two connecting reinforcement parts 151 are respectively provided with flanges to connect the second plate 12 and the connecting frame 14. The provision of connecting reinforcement parts 151 can improve the connection strength between the connecting beam 15 and the second plate 12 and the connecting frame 14. The connecting reinforcement parts 151 can be provided with multiple through holes to achieve the effect of weight reduction. The side of the connecting beam 15 away from the first plate 11 can be provided with flanges to connect the reinforcing beam 16. The reinforcing beam 16 can be set as a flat plate structure parallel to the first plate 11, which can further reduce the space occupied by the installation structure in the first direction a.
[0062] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 To improve the positioning effect of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, in a specific implementation, a locking accessory can be provided on the first bracket 1, and a corresponding locking attachment part 201 can be provided on the second bracket 2. The locking accessory and the locking attachment part 201 are mutually compatible and detachably connected, so that the second bracket 2 can be fixed in position relative to the first bracket 1. The locking accessory can be a fastener or connector in the form of bolts, nuts, buckles, locking pins, etc. on the first bracket 1, and the locking attachment part 201 can be a structure in the form of holes, slots, bosses, etc. on the second bracket 2 to cooperate with the locking accessory, so as to realize reliable positioning of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 and convenient assembly and disassembly.
[0063] For details, please refer to the appendix. Figure 1In the technical solution adopted in this application, the lock accessory may include: a first connecting post 171, a second connecting post 172, and a third connecting post 173. The first connecting post 171 is disposed on the first plate 11 of the first bracket 1 and can be used to connect the second bracket 2. The second connecting post 172 is disposed on the second plate 12 of the first bracket 1 and can be used to connect the second bracket 2. By setting multiple connecting posts, namely the first connecting post 171 and the second connecting post 172, at different positions on the first bracket 1, and setting the extension direction of the second connecting post 172 to be different from that of the first connecting post 171, and the extension directions of the two are perpendicular to each other, the stability of the second bracket 2 relative to the first bracket 1 can be effectively enhanced. The third connecting post 173 can be disposed on the second plate 12 and can be used to connect the first electronic device. Component 3, the third connecting post 173 is arranged parallel to the second connecting post 172; the locking part 201 on the second bracket 2 can be configured with connecting holes corresponding to and adapted to the first connecting post 171 and the second connecting post 172 respectively, and the first electronic device 3 can be configured with connecting holes corresponding to and adapted to the third connecting post 173. Taking the first connecting post 171, the second connecting post 172 and the third connecting post 173 as columns with a circular cross-section as an example, the connecting holes adapted to them can be circular holes or gourd-shaped holes, so as to facilitate the installation and positioning of the second bracket 2 and the first electronic device 3; after the connecting post and the corresponding connecting hole cooperate to achieve the positioning of the corresponding structure, the corresponding structure can also be locked and fixed by connecting bolts or other locking parts on the connecting post, but it is not limited to this.
[0064] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 In a specific implementation, the second bracket 2 includes: a first connecting plate 21, which has a locking attachment part 201 corresponding to the lock attachment; and a first support plate 22, which is connected to the first connecting plate 21 and perpendicular to it, and the first support plate 22 has a second mounting area for mounting the second electronic device 4.
[0065] Specifically, to achieve reliable positioning and installation of the second bracket 2 and the first bracket 1, the technical solution adopted in this application allows the second bracket 2 to be composed of a first connecting plate 21 and a first support plate 22, with the first connecting plate 21 and the first support plate 22 arranged perpendicularly to each other. The first connecting plate 21 may have a locking attachment 201 corresponding to the locking accessory on the second plate 12 of the first bracket 1. This locking attachment 201 can be, but is not limited to, a hole, slot, or other similar structure, depending on the structure of the locking accessory. The cooperation method between the locking attachment 201 and the locking accessory can be, but is not limited to, using fasteners such as bolts for detachable locking or snap-fitting. Taking the locking accessory as a connecting post and the locking attachment 201 as a connecting hole as an example, the cross-sectional shape of the connecting post can be circular, and the connecting hole can be a circular hole or a gourd-shaped hole. When the connecting hole is a gourd-shaped hole, the small-diameter portion of the circular hole and the connecting post... The diameter of the column is adapted. During installation, the large-diameter part of the circular hole achieves initial positioning with the connecting column. Then, the second bracket 2 is slid to make the connecting column located in the small-diameter part of the circular hole of the connecting hole, so as to achieve precise positioning of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The positioning method is accurate and convenient. The first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2 can also be locked and fixed by connecting bolts or other locking parts to the connecting column. When the second bracket 2 is installed with the first bracket 1, the first connecting plate 21 is parallel to and fits against the second plate 12 of the first bracket 1. The locking part 201 cooperates with the second connecting column 172 on the second plate 12 to achieve positioning and installation of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2. The first support plate 22 is parallel to the first plate 11 of the first bracket 1 and forms a second mounting area for supporting the second electronic device 4. When the second bracket 2 is installed with the first bracket 1, the first support plate 22 can overlap the first electronic device 3.
[0066] In addition, to improve the reliability of the installation of the second bracket 2 and the first bracket 1, the second bracket 2 may further include: a second connecting plate 23 and a second support plate 24. The second support plate 24 is connected to the first support plate 22 and is located at the end of the first support plate 22 away from the first connecting plate 21. In the first direction a, the second support plate 24 and the first connecting plate 21 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first support plate 22. The second connecting plate 23 is connected to the second support plate 24 and is located on the side away from the first support plate 22 in the first direction a. The second connecting plate 23 is also provided with a locking attachment part 201 that corresponds to and is adapted to the locking attachment on the first plate body 11 of the first bracket 1. When the second bracket 2 and the first bracket 1 are installed, the second connecting plate 23 is parallel to the first plate body 11 of the first bracket 1, and the first connecting post 171 on the first plate body 11 is parallel to the first plate body 11 of the first bracket 1. The locking part 201 of the second connecting plate 23 can be used to connect the first plate 11 and the second connecting plate 23, thereby further realizing the positioning and installation of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2; the setting of the second connecting plate 23 and the second support plate 24 can further support and fix the first support plate 22, the first connecting plate 21 and the second electronic device 4 connected on the first support plate 22; the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 24 of the second bracket 2 together with the first plate 11 and the second plate 12 of the first bracket 1 form a first installation area adapted to the first electronic device 3, which can realize the reliable and stable installation of the first bracket 1 and the second bracket 2, while realizing the high-precision installation of the first electronic device 3 by the installation structure, and also helps to improve the compactness of the installation and the rationality of space utilization.
[0067] Example 2
[0068] Reference Appendix Figure 5 Embodiment 2 of this application proposes an electronic device, which includes: a chassis 6, the chassis 6 including a target mounting area 601; and a mounting structure disposed in the target mounting area 601. The mounting structure includes: a first bracket 1 and a second bracket 2, the second bracket 2 being connected to the first bracket 1, a first side 2a of the second bracket 2 forming a first mounting area with the first bracket 1, and a second side 2b of the second bracket 2 having a second mounting area; the first side 2a and the second side 2b of the second bracket 2 are disposed opposite to each other.
[0069] Specifically, the electronic device provided in this embodiment may be, but is not limited to, a server, a computer, a workstation, etc. It includes a chassis 6 and an installation structure for a target installation area 601 installed inside the chassis 6. The installation structure can form a first installation area and a second installation area, which can be used to install the first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4, respectively. That is, it can make reasonable use of the space inside the chassis 6, thereby reducing the space required for the target installation area 601 and reducing the number of structural components used inside the chassis 6.
[0070] In some embodiments, refer to the appendix Figure 1 In a specific implementation, the electronic device provided in this embodiment further includes: a motherboard 7, a first electronic device 3, and a second electronic device 4 disposed in the chassis 6; the first electronic device 3 is mounted on the first bracket 1 and located in the first mounting area and electrically connected to the motherboard 7; the second electronic device 4 is mounted in the second mounting area of the second bracket 2 and electrically connected to the motherboard 7; the target mounting area 601 is the front window of the chassis 6.
[0071] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the chassis 6 is also provided with a motherboard 7, a first electronic device 3 and a second electronic device 4. The first electronic device 3 is installed in the first mounting area formed by the first bracket 1 and can be electrically connected to the motherboard 7 through a cable. The second electronic device 4 is installed in the second mounting area formed by the second bracket 2 and can be electrically connected to the motherboard 7 through, but not limited to, an adapter board 5 and a cable. Taking a 4U GPU server as an example, with the first electronic device 3 being an M.2 module and the second electronic device 4 being a SATA controller card, the rear window area 603 of the 4U GPU server chassis 6 is filled with GPU cards and other PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) cards, leaving no space to install the first electronic device 3. Furthermore, the motherboard 7 is also compact due to the flexible configuration of the GPU server and the need to provide power interfaces for the GPU, leaving no extra space to install the second electronic device 4. Therefore, the target installation area 601 can be set as the front window of the chassis 6, occupying the front window area 602 of the chassis 6. The installation structure can simultaneously install the first electronic device 3 and the second electronic device 4, thereby achieving a rational layout of the internal space of the chassis 6 without affecting the number of PCIe and hard drives supported.
