Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of connector installation technology, and in particular to a waterproof connector panel that uses a conductor adapter. Background Technology

[0002] A server chassis is a computer enclosure specifically designed for servers. It houses, secures, and protects various server components, such as the motherboard, processor, memory, hard drive, and power supply. Compared to ordinary computer chassis, server chassis typically have higher performance and more stringent requirements to meet the needs of long-term stable server operation and data storage.

[0003] The assembly and use of server chassis requires the use of various connectors, such as thermocouples, USB connectors, HDMI connectors, and RJ45 connectors. These connectors are typically single-headed, directly fixed to the motherboard for conductive connections and exposed through holes in the chassis panel. Gaps exist between these connectors and the chassis panel, allowing external moisture to enter the server chassis, thus failing to achieve a proper seal and waterproofing. Furthermore, after assembly, gaps exist at the joints of screws and housings, allowing coolant or vapor-phase cooling media to leak out when directly immersed in them, further compromising self-sealing. Therefore, it is necessary to research a solution to these problems. Utility Model Content

A first locking hole, a second locking hole, and a slot are formed on the outer peripheral side of the insert portion. The first locking hole and the second locking hole communicate with the first mounting cavity and the second mounting cavity, respectively.

In this embodiment, the conductor 51 is a wire or a terminal structure, and the wire can be a temperature sensing wire, which is not limited to this. Furthermore, the conductor 51 can be connected to the first connector 30 and the second connector 40 by means of screw fastening, crimping, or welding, which is not limited to this.

[0050] The first locking member 52 is disposed in the first locking hole 104 and locked to the first connector 30; the second locking member 53 is disposed in the second locking hole 105 and locked to the second connector 40. In this embodiment, the first locking member 52 is a screw, which passes through the first locking hole 104, extends into the first mounting cavity 101, and is screwed into the first screw hole 31 for fixation. Furthermore, two first locking members 52 are used for fixation of each first connector 30, without limitation. The second locking member 53 is also a screw, which passes through the second locking hole 105 and the through hole 41 in sequence and is screwed into the second screw hole 108 for fixation.

[0051] The first sealant 54 is filled and cured into the first locking hole 104. The first sealant 54 is embedded and fixed together with the first locking member 52, and seals and plugs the first locking hole 104. The second sealant 55 is filled and cured into the connecting hole 103. The second sealant 55 is embedded and fixed together with the conductor 51, and seals and plugs the connecting hole 103.

[0052] Furthermore, there are multiple first mounting cavities 101 arranged side by side. Correspondingly, there are multiple second mounting cavities 102, connecting holes 103, first locking holes 104, second locking holes 105, slots 106, first connectors 30, second connectors 40, conductors 51, first locking elements 52, second locking elements 53, first sealant 54, and second sealant 55. Moreover, the multiple first mounting cavities 101 are arranged in two rows, one above the other. Correspondingly, the second mounting cavities 102 and connecting holes 103 are also arranged in two rows, one above the other. One second locking element 53 can lock and install two second connectors 40 at the same time.

[0053] The assembly process of this embodiment is described in detail below:

[0054] First, connect and fix one end of the first connector 30 to the conductor 51. Insert the first connector 30 into the first mounting cavity 101 through the opening of the first mounting cavity 101, and insert the conductor 51 into the connection hole 103 from the outside to the inside. Next, insert the first locking member 52 through the first locking hole 104 into the first mounting cavity 101 and screw it into the first screw hole 31 to fix it, so that the first connector 30 is fixed in the panel body 10. Then, fill and cure the first sealant 54 into the first locking hole 104, and fill and cure the second sealant 55 into the connection hole 103. Next, insert the second connector 40 into the second mounting cavity 102 through the opening of the second mounting cavity 102, and connect and fix the other end of the conductor 51 to the second connector 40. Then, pass the second locking member 53 through the second locking hole 105 and the through hole 41 in sequence and screw it into the second screw hole 108 to fix it.

[0055] When it needs to be assembled into a server chassis, such as Figure 8 As shown, the server chassis panel 60 has a mounting opening 61 and multiple fixing holes 62. The mounting opening 61 is adapted to the insert 12, and the multiple fixing holes 62 are distributed around the mounting opening 61 and are respectively connected to multiple through holes 21. First, the sealing gasket 20 is fixed to the inner side of the base 11, and the insert 12 is inserted into the mounting opening 61 from the outside to the inside. After insertion, the sealing gasket 20 is clamped between the base 11 and the chassis panel 60. Then, multiple bolts 70 are used to pass through the corresponding fixing holes 62 and the corresponding through holes 21 from the inside to the outside and are screwed into the corresponding threaded blind holes 107 for connection and fixation. This forms a waterproof sealing structure between the panel body 10 and the chassis panel 60, preventing external moisture from entering the server chassis through the mounting opening 61.

[0056] The key design feature of this invention is that the first and second connectors are locked within the panel body using a first and a second locking element, and a conductor is used to connect the first and second connectors to form a double-headed structure. Simultaneously, the first and second sealants are used to seal and plug the first locking hole and the connection hole respectively, achieving a sealed and waterproof installation. A sealing gasket is placed on the inner side of the panel body for a sealed installation with the chassis panel. Therefore, when this product is fitted with the chassis, it not only prevents cooling medium leakage and provides excellent sealing and waterproofing, but also, because the internal and external connections are made using the first and second connectors respectively, it enables quick docking of the internal and external connectors, bringing convenience to users.

[0057] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not constitute any limitation on the technical scope of the present utility model. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
