Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of adapter cable technology, and in particular to a PCIE computing power adapter cable. Background Technology

[0002] Graphics cards, also known as graphics processing units (GPUs), play a crucial role in modern computing. Originally designed for graphics rendering, GPUs handle the display of images, videos, and animations, enabling rapid computation and rendering of complex 3D graphics to provide a smooth visual experience. In the field of deep learning, GPUs (especially high-performance GPUs) are essential for training deep learning models. The parallel computing capabilities of GPUs accelerate matrix operations and neural network training, significantly reducing training time. GPUs also accelerate computation during model inference, making them suitable for real-time AI applications (such as speech recognition and image recognition). However, high-performance computing cards are extremely expensive; while their performance may be twice that of low-end cards, the price often more than doubles. Therefore, using multiple GPUs simultaneously to achieve the computing power of high-end GPUs is a more economical option. However, current computer motherboards often only support one GPU at a time, limiting the flexibility to connect multiple GPUs as needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a PCIe computing power adapter cable, which aims to flexibly select the number of computing cards to be connected according to usage needs. It can use multiple low-end and mid-range computing cards to achieve the computing power of high-end computing cards, greatly saving costs.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a PCIe computing power adapter cable, comprising:

[0005] A motherboard having a front and a back, the front side integrating a PCIe slot and several electrical components, the PCIe slot having several pins, and a connection portion being provided on the surface of the motherboard, the connection portion having at least two connection positions spaced apart, the connection positions being electrically connected to the pins;

[0006] Two connecting wires, one end of each connecting wire is connected to two connecting positions respectively, and the other end is provided with a connector.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the motherboard surface has a through groove to form the connection portion, and both connection positions are located on the side edge of the through groove near the PCIe slot.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the end of the connecting wire connected to the connection position has a plurality of wire ends arranged in two layers, with one layer of wire ends connected to the front of the motherboard and the other layer of wire ends connected to the back of the motherboard.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the connection between the wire end and the connection point is a solder joint.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the through groove is covered with insulating tape, which covers the wire end and the connection point.

[0011] In one possible implementation, a retaining sleeve is provided on the surface of the two connecting wires, the retaining sleeve fixing the two connecting wires together.

[0012] This utility model's technical solution employs two connecting cables, each with one end connected to two connection points. These two cables can transmit electrical signals independently, and the number of connecting cables can be increased according to actual needs. The other end of each connecting cable has a connector for connecting external devices such as graphics cards. With this configuration, multiple computing cards can be connected to the computer motherboard using two or more connecting cables. In practice, different numbers of computing cards can be flexibly connected according to usage requirements, allowing multiple low-to-mid-range computing cards to achieve the computing power of high-end computing cards, significantly saving costs.

[0020] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a PCIe computing power adapter cable, including a motherboard 1 and two connecting cables 4. The motherboard 1 has a front side 11 and a back side 12. The front side 11 integrates a PCIe slot 2 and several electrical components. The PCIe slot 2 has several pins. A connecting part 3 is provided on the surface of the motherboard 1. The connecting part 3 is provided with at least two connecting positions 31 at intervals. The connecting positions 31 are electrically connected to the pins. One end of the two connecting cables 4 is connected to the two connecting positions 31 respectively, and the other end is provided with a connector 41.

[0023] As is understandable, PCIe is a high-speed data transmission interface commonly used to connect hardware such as graphics cards, storage devices, and network cards in a computer. A computing power adapter cable connects hardware such as graphics cards and accelerator cards to the PCIe interface on the motherboard 1, typically to expand computing power or provide external hardware support. The motherboard 1 is a circuit board containing necessary electrical components and connection interfaces. On its front side 11, it integrates a PCIe slot 2 and several electrical components. The PCIe slot 2 has many pins, which are metal contacts on the bottom of the PCIe slot 2 used to transmit signals to the computer motherboard or graphics card. Each pin has a different function, such as transmitting data, supplying power, or transmitting clock signals. The electrical components can be capacitors, resistors, transistors, etc., used to process electrical signals, stabilize signal quality, or perform other functions. The motherboard 1 has a connection part 3 for wiring. Connection positions 31 are ports on the connection part 3 for connecting cables 4. Each connection position 31 is electrically connected to the pins of the PCIe slot 2, through which signals are transmitted from the connecting cable to the PCIe slot 2.

[0024] The adapter cable has two connecting wires 4, each with one end connected to two connectors 31. These two connecting wires can transmit electrical signals separately. The number of connecting wires 4 can be increased according to actual needs. The other end of each connecting wire has a connector 41 for connecting external devices such as graphics cards. With the above setup, multiple computing cards can be connected to the computer motherboard through two or more connecting wires 4. In practice, different numbers of computing cards can be flexibly connected according to usage requirements. Multiple low-end computing cards can achieve the computing power of high-end computing cards, saving costs.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, a through groove is provided on the surface of the motherboard 1 to form a connecting part 3, and the two connecting positions 31 are located on the side edge of the through groove near the PCIe slot 2.

[0026] Understandably, a long, narrow opening is cut or chiseled into the surface of motherboard 1 to install or secure the connecting cable 4, providing a path for signal transmission. The through-slot design facilitates the installation of the connecting cable 4 and provides better electrical connection for signal transmission. On the edge of the through-slot near the PCIe slot 2, two connection points 31 are provided. Connection points 31 are the specific locations where the connecting cable 4 is electrically connected to motherboard 1. Positioning it at this location shortens the signal transmission path, reduces signal attenuation and interference, and ensures the stability and reliability of the connection.

[0027] Reference Figures 3 to 4 In one embodiment of the present invention, the end of the connecting wire 4 connected to the connecting position 31 has a plurality of wire ends 42 arranged in two layers, and one layer of wire ends 42 is connected to the front side 11 of the motherboard 1, and the other layer of wire ends 42 is connected to the back side of the motherboard 1.

[0028] Understandably, one end of the connecting cable 4 is connected to the connection position 31 on the motherboard 1. This end has several wire or signal line ends 42 inside. These ends 42 are arranged in two layers. One layer of ends 42 is connected to the front side 11 of the motherboard 1, and the other layer of ends 42 is connected to the back side of the motherboard 1. The two layers of ends 42 form a clamping state to hold the motherboard 1, which increases the stability of the connection and the reliability of signal transmission. It can also make full use of the space of the motherboard 1, help reduce signal interference, and improve the overall performance of the device.

[0029] Reference Figure 4 In one embodiment of this utility model, the connection between the wire end 42 and the connection position 31 is a surface soldering connection.

[0030] Understandably, since the connection point 31 on the motherboard 1 is located on the edge of the through slot near the PCIe slot 2, space is limited. Surface mount soldering allows for reliable electrical connections within this compact space. Surface mount soldering is a soldering technique that involves directly attaching the wire end 42 to the pad of the connection point 31, securing and connecting it through soldering. The direct contact between the wire end 42 and the pad of the connection point 31 ensures a tight electrical connection, and surface mount soldering typically offers high mechanical strength and electrical stability, making it suitable for high-frequency signal transmission and high-performance devices. Surface mount soldering provides a low-impedance electrical path, suitable for high-frequency signal transmission such as PCIe signals. Furthermore, the soldered wire end 42 is less prone to loosening, can withstand certain mechanical stress, and is suitable for high-density wiring in compact spaces, meeting the space constraints of the motherboard 1 design.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, insulating tape 5 is attached to the through groove, and the insulating tape 5 covers the wire end 42 and the connection position 31.

[0032] Understandably, the through-slot is a long, narrow opening on the mainboard 1 used to form the connection part 3 and install the connecting wires 4. Insulating tape 5 is a material with insulating properties used to cover circuits or electrical connection points to prevent short circuits, electrical interference, or physical damage. Applying insulating tape 5 to the through-slot primarily protects the electrical connection part 3 in the through-slot area. The insulating tape 5 prevents the wire ends 42 and connection points 31 from contacting other metal parts or circuits, avoiding short circuits or signal interference. The insulating tape 5 also prevents dust, moisture, or other external contaminants from entering the connection area, thereby improving the reliability and durability of the equipment. Furthermore, the insulating tape 5 also provides some fixation for the wire ends 42 and connection points 31, preventing loosening due to vibration or movement.

[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, a fixing sleeve 6 is provided on the surface of the two connecting wires 4, and the fixing sleeve 6 attaches and fixes the two connecting wires 4 together.

[0034] Understandably, the connecting cables 4 are two cables used to transmit PCIe signals. One end of each cable is soldered to the connection point 31 on the motherboard 1, and the other end is connected to other devices such as the graphics card. The retaining sleeve 6 is a device used to secure the cables. It is made of insulating material and has a certain degree of elasticity and durability. The retaining sleeve 6 is placed on the surface of the connecting cables 4 to fix the two cables together. Fixing the two cables together can prevent the cables from becoming tangled, making the wiring neater and more aesthetically pleasing; fixing the two cables together can reduce the relative movement between the cables, thereby reducing signal interference or mechanical damage caused by friction or vibration; the retaining sleeve 6 can protect the cables from external physical damage (such as pulling or bending), extending the service life of the cables.

[0035] This utility model's technical solution employs two connecting cables 4, each with one end connected to two connection points 31. These two connecting cables can transmit electrical signals separately, and the number of connecting cables 4 can be increased according to actual needs. The other end of each connecting cable has a connector 41 for connecting external devices such as graphics cards. With this configuration, multiple computing cards can be connected to the computer motherboard using two or more connecting cables 4. In practice, different numbers of computing cards can be flexibly connected according to usage requirements, allowing multiple low-to-mid-range computing cards to achieve the computing power of high-end computing cards, significantly saving costs.
