Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware technology, and in particular to a server motherboard with rapid module replacement. Background Technology

[0002] The server motherboard is one of the core components of a server, undertaking the important task of connecting and managing all the server's hardware components. With the development of information technology, the demand for data centers and high-performance computing is increasing, placing higher demands on the performance, reliability, and maintenance efficiency of servers.

[0003] Currently, traditional server motherboard designs typically employ an integrated structure, where key components such as processors, memory, and storage are directly soldered or fixed onto the motherboard. While this design provides stable performance, it also has significant shortcomings in certain aspects. When a critical component fails, it often requires replacing the entire motherboard or performing complex repairs, which not only increases maintenance costs but also extends system downtime.

[0004] To address this, a server motherboard with rapid module replacement is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing server motherboards which use an integrated structure, requiring the replacement of the entire motherboard or complex repair work when critical components fail, thus increasing maintenance costs and extending system downtime, this utility model provides a server motherboard with rapid module replacement.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a server motherboard with rapid module replacement, comprising a carrier substrate and multiple functional modules. Multiple functional modules are horizontally arranged on the carrier substrate. Each functional module has square slots on both sides of its ends. An L-shaped insert is inserted into each square slot. One end of the L-shaped insert is longer and inserted into the square slot, while the other end is shorter and protrudes to connect to adjacent functional modules. Each functional module has a socket at the middle of both ends, and the shorter portion of each L-shaped insert is equipped with a fixing rod.

[0007] More preferably, the support substrate is provided with fixing members at its four corners.

[0008] More preferably, the supporting substrate has multiple symmetrically distributed grooves, each groove has a slider slidably disposed inside, and a rubber plate is disposed inside the groove.

[0009] More preferably, a heat-conducting sheet is provided on the carrier substrate, and the heat-conducting sheet is in direct contact with the bottom of the functional module.

[0010] More preferably, a silicone block is provided on the side of the slider that contacts the functional module.

[0011] More preferably, a protective shell is provided on the carrier substrate, a ventilation plate is embedded in the top of the protective shell, and elastic retaining balls are provided on both sides inside the protective shell, while slots adapted to the elastic retaining balls are opened at corresponding positions on both sides of the carrier substrate.

[0012] More preferably, handles are fixed to both sides of the outer side of the protective shell.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. By dividing the server motherboard into multiple functionally independent modules, each module can be disassembled and replaced independently, which greatly improves the maintainability and flexibility of the server. This design allows users to quickly replace or upgrade individual components without replacing the entire motherboard, reducing maintenance costs and shortening system downtime. In addition, through the combined action of square slots, L-shaped plugs, sockets and fixing rods, not only is a stable and tight connection between various functional modules ensured, but the docking between modules is also more precise and easier to operate, further simplifying the module installation and disassembly process.

[0014] 2. By manually pulling the slider horizontally along the slide groove until the slider is in close contact with the side of the functional module, this design can form an effective limiting effect. This not only prevents the functional module from loosening or shifting during operation, but also improves the stability of the overall structure.

[0015] 3. By using a protective shell to cover the various components on the substrate, dust and moisture are effectively prevented from entering. This is crucial for maintaining the good working condition of electronic components and extending the service life of the equipment. In addition, it can provide extra physical protection for internal components, such as preventing damage caused by accidental collisions or minor drops, and ensuring that the system can operate stably in harsh environments.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, terms such as "setting," "installing," "connecting," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 A server motherboard with rapid module replacement includes a carrier substrate 1 and five functional modules 2. The five functional modules 2 are horizontally arranged on the carrier substrate 1, including, but not limited to, a processor module, a memory module, and a storage module. Each functional module 2 is modularly designed to be detachably connected to the carrier substrate 1. Each functional module 2 has square slots 201 on both sides at its front and rear ends. An L-shaped insert 3 is inserted into each square slot 201, with one end of the L-shaped insert 3 being longer for insertion into the square slot 201. The inner end is shorter, while the outer end is exposed to connect to adjacent functional modules 2. Each functional module 2 has a socket 4 in the middle of its front and rear ends, and each L-shaped plug has a fixing rod 5 on its short part. The fixing rod 5 can be inserted into the socket 4 to firmly fix the L-shaped plug to the module area, thus achieving a tight connection between the two modules. The four corners of the support base plate 1 are provided with fixing parts 6 to firmly install the support base plate 1 onto the server chassis or other support structure, thereby ensuring that the entire motherboard remains stable during operation.

[0024] A detachable modular motherboard is formed by the carrier substrate 1 and the functional module 2. When a component on the motherboard malfunctions, the corresponding functional module 2 can be removed for replacement. First, pull out the fixing rod 5 that fixes the L-shaped plug, then pull out the L-shaped plug to release the fixation of the functional module 2. Then, the target functional module 2 can be easily removed from the carrier substrate 1. After replacing the new functional module 2, insert the long part of the L-shaped plug into the square slot 201 of the functional module 2, ensuring that the short part of the L-shaped plug is exposed on the outside. Align the fixing rod 5 with the plug hole 4 on the adjacent functional module 2 and insert it into the plug hole 4, ensuring that the two adjacent module areas fit tightly together. In this way, the L-shaped plug is firmly fixed to the functional module 2, and the adjacent functional modules 2 are connected together to complete the assembly process.

[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 4 The supporting base plate 1 has four symmetrically distributed sliding grooves in pairs. Each sliding groove has a slider 7 slidably installed inside it. A rubber plate 8 is installed inside the sliding groove to increase the damping effect when the slider 7 moves, preventing the slider 7 from moving arbitrarily due to external forces. A silicone block 10 is provided on the side of the slider 7 that contacts the functional module 2. The silicone block 10 has good cushioning and anti-slip properties, and can form a soft contact surface between the slider 7 and the functional module 2. This not only avoids the damage that hard contact may cause to the functional module 2, but also further enhances the stability of the functional module 2 and prevents it from undergoing slight displacement during operation.

[0026] After the functional module 2 is installed on the support base plate 1, the slider 7 is manually pulled to move it horizontally along the slide groove until the slider 7 is in close contact with the side of the functional module 2. The contact between the slider 7 and the functional module 2 forms a limiting effect, thereby further enhancing the stability of the functional module 2 and preventing it from loosening or shifting during operation.

[0027] Please see Figure 5The protective substrate 1 is provided with a protective shell 11 to provide physical protection and reduce the impact of the external environment on the internal components. A ventilation plate 12 is embedded in the top of the protective shell 11 to promote air circulation, help heat dissipation, and prevent dust and moisture from entering the interior of the protective shell 11. A heat-conducting plate 9 is provided on the protective substrate 1, which is in direct contact with the bottom of the functional module 2. The heat-conducting plate 9 can effectively conduct the heat generated by the functional module 2 to the protective substrate 1 or other heat dissipation devices, thereby improving heat dissipation performance. Elastic retaining balls 13 are provided on both the left and right sides inside the protective shell 11, and corresponding slots adapted to the elastic retaining balls 13 are opened on the left and right sides of the protective substrate 1. Handles 14 are fixed to both sides of the exterior of the protective shell 11, providing users with a convenient way to operate, making the installation and removal of the protective shell 11 more effortless and efficient.

[0028] During installation, the protective shell 11 is pressed onto the carrier substrate 1, so that the elastic retaining ball 13 is accurately inserted into the retaining grooves on both sides of the carrier substrate 1, thereby ensuring that the protective shell 11 is firmly fixed on the carrier substrate 1. By using the protective shell 11 to protect the various components on the carrier substrate 1 from the effects of dust, moisture and other potential environmental threats, it can also provide additional physical protection for internal components, such as preventing damage caused by accidental collisions or minor drops, and ensure that the system can operate stably in relatively harsh environments.

[0029] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
