[0040] Please see Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the server test module 100 installed on the machine 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the server test module 100; Figure 3 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the server test module 100 via the connector 23 is shown below. This utility model provides a server test module 100, which includes a test module 10 and an installation module 20. The test module 10 has a test end 101 for connecting to the server to be tested. The installation module 20 includes a base 21, a slider 22, a connector 23, and a first elastic member 24. The base 21 is used for mounting on a machine tool 300. The slider 22 slides with the base 21 and is connected to the test module 10. The connector 23 passes through the slider 22 and has a first end 231 and a second end 232. The first end 231 is connected to the base 21, and the second end 232 extends to the side of the slider 22 facing away from the test end 101. The first elastic member 24 is sleeved on the connector 23 and connects the slider 22 and the second end 232. When the test module 10 tests the server, the slider 22 can slide relative to the base 21 along the side facing away from the test end 101 and compress the first elastic element 24.

[0041] Specifically, the test terminal 101 is used to interface with the server interface 200. In this embodiment, the test terminal 101 is a male connector, and the server interface 200 is a SAS interface (female connector). The test terminal 101 is inserted into the server interface 200 to achieve an electrical connection. The other end of the test module 10 is used to connect a signal cable to transmit the signal cable to the server.

[0042] For ease of description, the side facing the server is defined as the front side, and the opposite side is defined as the rear side. In this embodiment, the front side of the base 21 is mounted on the machine 300, and multiple server test modules 100 are mounted on the machine 300 to facilitate simultaneous testing of multiple SAS interfaces on the server.

[0043] Specifically, the first elastic element 24 can be selected as a spring or other elastic device. In this embodiment, the first elastic element 24 is a spring and is coaxially arranged with the connecting element 23.

[0044] By setting the slider 22 to slide with the base 21, the connector 23 passes through the slider 22, and the first end 231 of the connector 23 is connected to the base 21. The second end 232 of the connector 23 extends to the side of the slider 22 facing away from the test end 101. The first elastic member 24 is sleeved on the connector 23 and connects the slider 22 and the second end 232. During the test, the slider 22 can slide relative to the base 21 and compress the first elastic member 24, thereby achieving buffering of the server. At the same time, the second end 232 of the connector 23 is used to support the first elastic member 24. The first elastic member 24 is placed outside the rear side of the slider 22, so that the connector 23 and the first elastic member 24 occupy less space in the buffering direction of the module, reducing the overall size of the module.

[0045] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 21 has a groove 211 on the side facing away from the test end 101, and the slider 22 slides in the groove 211. With this configuration, the slider 22 can be accommodated by the groove 211 while achieving the sliding fit, which can reduce the overall size of the module in the buffer direction.

[0046] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of the installation module 20 in its disassembled state. The bottom wall of the slide 211 has a first through hole 212 and a fixing hole 213. The test module 10 passes through the first through hole 212, and its first end 231 is fixed in place with the fixing hole 213. This arrangement allows for the connection between the connector 23 and the base 21, and also allows part of the test module 10 to be housed inside the base 21, helping to reduce the overall size of the module in the buffering direction. Furthermore, the connector 23 and the first elastic member 24 are located on the side adjacent to the test module 10, further reducing the overall space occupied by the module in the buffering direction.

[0047] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4The connector 23, the first elastic element 24, and the fixing hole 213 are all in pairs. The two fixing holes 213 are respectively located on both sides of the first through hole 212 and cooperate with the first end 231 of the corresponding connector 23. The two first elastic elements 24 are respectively sleeved on the corresponding connector 23. With this arrangement, the elastic force of the two first elastic elements 24 can be used for buffering, thereby improving the buffering effect.

[0048] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The slider 22 has a receiving groove 221. The end of the first elastic member 24 facing away from the second end 232 is received in the receiving groove 221 and abuts against the bottom wall of the receiving groove 221. This arrangement can extend the length of the first elastic member 24, which helps to increase the buffer stroke and improve the buffering effect.

[0049] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In order to facilitate the connection between the connector 23 and the base 21, a second through hole 222 is provided on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 221, and the connector 23 passes through the second through hole 222.

[0050] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The connector 23 is constructed as a screw, with a first end 231 having a thread that mates with the base 21, and a second end 232 having a head that abuts against the first elastic member 24. This design results in a lower cost for the connector 23 and simplifies the installation of both the connector 23 and the first elastic member 24.

[0051] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 To improve the installation accuracy of the base 21 and the machine tool 300, the base 21 is provided with a positioning protrusion 214 on the side facing the test end 101. The positioning protrusion 214 is used to cooperate with the machine tool 300. Specifically, there are multiple positioning protrusions 214, and all of them are used to cooperate with the machine tool 300.

[0052] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 2The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the server test module 100 via the conical screw 15. The test module 10 includes a test head 11, a floating block 12, and a mounting block 13. The test head 11 is mounted on the floating block 12 and has a test end 101. The direction in which the slider 22 slides relative to the base 21 is defined as a first direction (i.e., a buffering direction). The floating block 12 is movably connected to the mounting block 13 along a second direction intersecting the first direction. The mounting block 13 is mounted on the slider 22. With this configuration, when there is a positional deviation between the server and the test head 11, the floating block 12 can absorb this deviation by moving relative to the mounting block 13 along the second direction, reducing the risk of the server being damaged.

[0053] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 5 The test module 10 includes a conical screw 15 and a second elastic element (not shown). One end of the conical screw 15 is threaded into the floating block 12, and the other end is threaded into the conical surface of the mounting block 13. The second elastic element is fitted onto the conical screw 15, with both ends abutting against the floating block 12 and the mounting block 13, respectively. This configuration allows for a floating connection between the floating block 12 and the mounting block 13 in the second direction via the conical screw 15. Simultaneously, the second elastic element provides a buffering effect and allows the floating block 12 to be reset after testing.

[0054] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The test module 10 includes a guide sleeve 14, on which the test head 11 is mounted. The guide sleeve 14 is fixed to the floating block 12 by connecting screws 141. This configuration allows the guide sleeve 14 to guide the server interface 200, ensuring that the server interface 200 can smoothly connect with the test head 11.

[0055] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 6 yes Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the server test module 100 in its disassembled state; Figure 7 yes Figure 2This is a structural schematic diagram of the server test module 100 in its disassembled state from another perspective. The mounting module 20 has an assembly slot 223, and the side wall of the assembly slot 223 has a snap-fit ​​hole 2231 and a pin hole 2232. The mounting block 13 slides within the assembly slot 223 and is equipped with an elastic snap 131 and a spring pin 132. The elastic snap 131 has a locking block 1311. When the mounting block 13 slides along the assembly slot 223 to a preset position, the locking block 1311 engages with the snap-fit ​​hole 2231, and the spring pin 132 extends into the pin hole 2232 to restrict the sliding of the mounting block 13. The elastic snap 131 can deform to move the locking block 1311 away from the snap-fit ​​hole 2231, so that the mounting block 13 can, under external force, retract the spring pin 132 and leave the pin hole 2232, restoring the mounting block 13's freedom of movement within the assembly slot 223 and allowing it to leave the preset position.

[0056] Specifically, the assembly groove 223 is formed on the slider 22, and the snap hole 2231 and the pin hole 2232 are located on the same side wall of the assembly groove 223.

[0057] Understandably, when the test module 10 needs to be installed, the mounting block 13 can be inserted into the assembly slot 223, allowing the mounting block 13 to slide along the assembly slot 223. During the sliding process, the locking block 1311 is squeezed by the side wall of the assembly slot 223, causing the locking block 131 to deform. The spring pin 132 is also squeezed by the side wall of the assembly slot 223, and the spring pin 132 is in a retracted state until the mounting block 13 slides to the preset position, aligning the locking block 1311 with the buckle hole 2231 and the spring pin 132 with the pin hole 2232. The elastic buckle 131 then returns to its original deformation and causes the locking block 1311 to extend into the buckle hole 2231. The locking block 1311 engages with the buckle hole 2231, while the spring pin 132 extends out relative to the mounting block 13 and into the pin hole 2232. Under the combined restraint of the locking block 1311 and the spring pin 132, the mounting block 13 remains in the preset position, thereby achieving rapid installation. When it is necessary to remove the test module 10, an external force can be applied to the elastic buckle 131 first, so that the elastic buckle 131 deforms and drives the buckle block 1311 away from the buckle hole 2231, thereby releasing the constraint of the mounting block 13 being engaged by the buckle block 1311 and the buckle hole 2231. Then, an external force is applied to the mounting block 13 in the direction away from the assembly groove 223, and the mounting block 13 drives the spring pin 132 to retract and leave the pin hole 2232, thereby releasing the constraint of the mounting block 13 being engaged by the spring pin 132 and the pin hole 2232, thereby restoring the freedom of sliding in the assembly groove 223, and moving away from the preset position along the assembly groove 223.

[0058] By opening an assembly slot 223 on the mounting module 20, the mounting block 13 slides with the assembly slot 223, and opening a buckle hole 2231 and a pin hole 2232 on the side wall of the assembly slot 223, and setting an elastic buckle 131 with a locking block 1311 and a spring pin 132 on the mounting block 13, the test module 10 and the mounting module 20 can be quickly disassembled and assembled, so as to replace the test module 10 and meet different test requirements.

[0059] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 , Figure 9 yes Figure 2 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of the server test module 100 passing through the mounting block 1311. The mounting block 13 has a mounting hole 133, and a spring pin 132 is installed in the mounting hole 133 and protrudes relative to the mounting block 13. This arrangement facilitates the installation of the spring pin 132 on the mounting block 13.

[0060] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 There are multiple spring pins 132 and pin holes 2232, and they are set in a one-to-one correspondence. This arrangement can improve the connection strength between the mounting block 13 and the mounting module 20 after installation.

[0061] In this embodiment, there are two spring pins 132 and two pin holes 2232, which are distributed on opposite sides of the buckle hole 2231.

[0062] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 8 yes Figure 2 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of the server test module 100 passing through the latch 1311 is shown. The elastic latch 131 includes a connecting part 1301 and a suspended part 1302. One end of the connecting part 1301 is connected to the mounting block 13, and the other end of the connecting part 1301 is connected to the suspended part 1302. The suspended part 1302 and the mounting block 13 are spaced apart. The latch 1311 is located on the side of the suspended part 1302 facing away from the mounting block 13. This arrangement allows the suspended part 1302 to drive the latch 1311 to deform closer to the mounting block 13, so that the latch 1311 can be disengaged from the latch hole 2231 under the action of external force.

[0063] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The elastic buckle 131 includes a pressing part 1303, which is connected to the side of the suspended part 1302 away from the connecting part 1301. When the mounting block 13 is in the preset position, the pressing part 1303 is located outside the mounting groove 223 and has a gap distance from the mounting block 13. With this configuration, when the mounting block 13 is in the preset position, the pressing part 1303 can drive the suspended part 1302 closer to the mounting block 13, so that the locking block 1311 leaves the buckle hole 2231, making the operation more convenient.

[0064] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The bottom wall of the assembly slot 223 is provided with a reinforcing slot 2233, and at least a portion of the connecting part 1301 is accommodated in the reinforcing slot 2233. This arrangement can improve the connection strength between the mounting block 13 and the mounting module 20.

[0065] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
