Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server testing technology, and in particular to a server testing module. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a common device that provides services to other computers or devices. A server can respond to client requests and provide the required information or perform specific tasks, such as data storage, resource sharing, and application execution.

[0003] Servers typically have multiple interfaces, each requiring a corresponding test module for testing. To adapt to the trend of smaller server sizes, the interface layout of modern servers is becoming increasingly compact. However, the test modules are too large to meet the testing needs of servers. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a server testing module that can reduce its size to meet the testing needs of servers with compact interface layouts.

[0005] This utility model provides a server testing module, comprising: an installation structure including a floating block, a buffer block, and a mounting block arranged sequentially in a first direction; the floating block being connected to the buffer block and movable relative to the buffer block in a second direction intersecting the first direction; the buffer block being connected to the mounting block and movable relative to the mounting block in the first direction; a guide sleeve disposed on the side of the floating block facing away from the buffer block; and a test head passing through the mounting block, the buffer block, the floating block, and the guide sleeve, the test head including a test end mounted on the guide sleeve and used to connect to the server to be tested.

[0006] The server testing module provided by this utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0007] By placing the guide sleeve on the side of the floating block facing away from the buffer block, the test end of the test head can pass through the mounting block, buffer block, floating block and guide sleeve in sequence and be installed on the guide sleeve. The size of the through holes required for the test end to pass through the floating block, buffer block and mounting block is small, which reduces the cross-sectional size of the mounting structure, thereby reducing the overall x and y dimensions to meet the testing requirements of servers with compact interface layout.

[0008] In one embodiment of this implementation, the server test module further includes a first locking member, the guide sleeve has a first connecting hole, the floating block has a first locking hole, one end of the first locking member abuts against the guide sleeve, and the other end of the first locking member passes through the first connecting hole and cooperates with the first locking hole.

[0009] In one embodiment of this implementation, there are multiple first locking members, first connecting holes, and first locking holes, and they are arranged accordingly.

[0010] In one embodiment of this implementation, the server test module further includes a second locking member, the guide sleeve has a second connecting hole, the test end has a limiting hole, one end of the second locking member abuts against the guide sleeve, and the other end of the second locking member passes through the second connecting hole and cooperates with the limiting hole, so that the guide sleeve and the test end are relatively fixed in the first direction.

[0011] In one embodiment of this implementation, the guide sleeve is further provided with a second locking hole, and the other end passes through the second connecting hole and the limiting hole, and cooperates with the second locking hole.

[0012] In one embodiment of this implementation, the number of the second locking member, the second connecting hole, the limiting hole, and the second locking hole are all multiple and correspondingly arranged.

[0013] In one embodiment of this implementation, the mounting structure includes a connector, one end of which is slidably connected to the floating block along the second direction, and the other end of which passes through the floating block and is fixedly connected to the buffer block.

[0014] In one embodiment of this implementation, the connector includes a first conical surface facing the buffer block, and the floating block includes a second conical surface in contact with the first conical surface.

[0015] In one embodiment of this implementation, the mounting structure includes a first elastic element that connects the floating block and the buffer block and is in a compressed state to make the first conical surface and the second conical surface abut together.

[0016] In one embodiment of this implementation, the mounting structure includes a second elastic element and a guide post. One of the buffer block and the mounting block is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post, and the other is slidably connected to the other end of the guide post. The second elastic element connects the buffer block and the mounting block.

[0017] Additional aspects and advantages of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0037] In existing technologies, the guide sleeve in a server test module is usually fixed to the test head. The mounting structure needs to provide a channel that allows the test head and the guide sleeve to pass through as a whole. However, because the cross-sectional size formed by the guide sleeve and the test head is too large, a channel with a relatively large cross-section is required to allow the guide sleeve and the test head to pass through as a whole. This results in an increase in the cross-sectional size of the mounting structure, and the x and y dimensions of the server test module are too large, which cannot meet the requirements of server testing with compact interface layout.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of a server test module 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The present invention provides a server test module 100, which includes a mounting structure 10, a guide sleeve 20, and a test head 30. The mounting structure 10 includes a floating block 11, a buffer block 12, and a mounting block 13 arranged sequentially in a first direction. The floating block 11 is connected to the buffer block 12 and can move relative to the buffer block 12 in a second direction intersecting the first direction. The buffer block 12 is connected to the mounting block 13 and can move relative to the mounting block 13 in the first direction. The guide sleeve 20 is disposed on the side of the floating block 11 facing away from the buffer block 12. The test head 30 passes through the mounting block 13, the buffer block 12, the floating block 11, and the guide sleeve 20. The test head 30 includes a test end 31, which is mounted on the guide sleeve 20 and used to connect to the server to be tested.

[0039] Specifically, the test head 30 also includes a connection end 32, located on the side of the mounting block 13 facing away from the buffer block 12. The connection end 32 is used to connect a signal cable, allowing the signal cable to transmit signals through the test head 30 to the server under test for testing. The shape of the guide sleeve 20 corresponds to the shape of the corresponding interface on the server under test. Before the test end 31 is inserted, the guide sleeve 20 can guide the interface to the correct orientation, allowing the interface to be smoothly inserted into the test end 31. In this embodiment, the test end 31 is used to connect to the gen-z interface in the server. In other embodiments, the test end 31 can also be used to test other types of interfaces.

[0040] In this embodiment, the test direction (the direction in which the server is inserted) is the same as the first direction, and both are horizontal, meaning that the floating block 11, buffer block 12, and mounting block 13 are arranged sequentially in the horizontal direction. The floating block 11 can move relative to the buffer block 12 along a second direction intersecting the first direction to automatically correct the positional deviation between the server and the test head 30, reduce the alignment requirements between the server and the test head 30, improve assembly efficiency, and reduce stress. The buffer block 12 can move relative to the mounting block 13 along the first direction to buffer the server during testing, preventing damage from a hard collision between the server and the server test module 100. The mounting block 13 is used to mount the server test module 100 on the fixture of the base, thus fixing the server test module 100 relative to the base.

[0041] It should be noted that the z-axis dimension of the server test module 100 is its dimension in the first direction, the x-axis dimension of the server test module 100 is its dimension in the direction perpendicular to the first direction and horizontal, and the y-axis dimension of the server test module 100 is its dimension in the direction perpendicular to the first direction and vertical.

[0042] By placing the guide sleeve 20 on the side of the floating block 11 facing away from the buffer block 12, the test end 31 of the test head 30 can pass through the mounting block 13, the buffer block 12, the floating block 11, and the guide sleeve 20 in sequence, and be mounted on the guide sleeve 20. The size of the through holes required for the test end 31 to pass through the floating block 11, the buffer block 12, and the mounting block 13 is relatively small, which reduces the cross-sectional size of the mounting structure 10, thereby reducing the overall size in the x and y directions, so as to meet the testing requirements of servers with compact interface layouts. At the same time, the presence of the floating block 11 and the buffer block 12 can provide error absorption and buffering for server testing, which helps to improve assembly efficiency and reduce the risk of server damage.

[0043] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the server test module 100 in its disassembled state; Figure 4 yes Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the guide sleeve 20, floating block 11, and first locking member 40 in the server test module 100. The server test module 100 also includes the first locking member 40. The guide sleeve 20 has a first connecting hole 21, and the floating block 11 has a first locking hole 111. One end of the first locking member 40 abuts against the guide sleeve 20, and the other end of the first locking member 40 passes through the first connecting hole 21 and engages with the first locking hole 111. Specifically, the first locking member 40 is a screw, and the first locking hole 111 is a threaded hole. By setting the first locking member 40, the guide sleeve 20 and the floating block 11 can be installed and fixed.

[0044] Specifically, both the first connecting hole 21 and the first locking hole 111 extend along the first direction, so that the guide sleeve 20 and the floating block 11 have good positional accuracy, ensuring that the guide sleeve 20 can provide good guidance for the server interface.

[0045] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 The number of first locking elements 40, first connecting holes 21, and first locking holes 111 are multiple and correspondingly arranged. Specifically, there are four first locking elements 40, four first connecting holes 21, and four first locking holes 111. With this arrangement, multiple first locking elements 40 simultaneously lock the guide sleeve 20 and the floating block 11, ensuring that the guide sleeve 20 and the floating block 11 have good connection strength and can meet the requirements of high-intensity testing.

[0046] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the test head 30 in the server test module 100; Figure 5 yes Figure 1 This is a cross-sectional view of the test head 30, guide sleeve 20, floating block 11, and second locking member 50 in the server test module 100. The server test module 100 also includes the second locking member 50. The guide sleeve 20 has a second connecting hole 22, and the test end 31 has a limiting hole 311. One end of the second locking member 50 abuts against the guide sleeve 20, and the other end of the second locking member 50 passes through the second connecting hole 22 and engages with the limiting hole 311, thereby fixing the guide sleeve 20 and the test end 31 relatively in a first direction. This configuration allows for the installation of the test end 31 and the guide sleeve 20 via the second locking member 50, simplifying the installation process.

[0047] Specifically, the extension direction of the second locking member 50 is perpendicular to the first direction. In this embodiment, the extension direction of the second locking member 50 is vertical, thus restricting the relative movement of the guide sleeve 20 and the test end 31 in the horizontal direction.

[0048] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The guide sleeve 20 also has a second locking hole 23, and the other end passes through the second connecting hole 22 and the limiting hole 311, and cooperates with the second locking hole 23. This arrangement allows the second locking member 50 to maintain cooperation with the limiting hole 311, improving the connection strength between the guide sleeve 20 and the test end 31.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second locking member 50 is a pin screw, and the second locking hole 23 is a threaded hole. In other embodiments, the second locking member 50 may also be a pin, and the second locking hole 23 may be a pin hole.

[0050] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The number of second locking components 50, second connecting holes 22, limiting holes 311, and second locking holes 23 are all multiple and correspondingly arranged. Specifically, there are two of each of the following: second locking components 50, second connecting holes 22, limiting holes 311, and second locking holes 23. By setting multiple second locking components 50, the connection strength between the guide sleeve 20 and the test end 31 can be improved, which is beneficial for meeting high-intensity testing requirements.

[0051] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 1A cross-sectional view of the server test module 100 is shown. The mounting structure 10 includes a connector 14, one end of which is slidably connected to the floating block 11 along a second direction, and the other end of which passes through the floating block 11 and is fixedly connected to the buffer block 12. This configuration enables a floating connection between the floating block 11 and the buffer block 12.

[0052] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The connector 14 includes a first conical surface 141 facing the buffer block 12, and the floating block 11 includes a second conical surface 112 in contact with the first conical surface 141. It should be noted that the orientation of the second direction intersecting the first direction is not fixed; in this embodiment, the second direction is the generatrix direction of either the first conical surface 141 or the second conical surface 112. By setting the connector 14 and floating block 11 with conical surface mating, multi-directional error absorption can be achieved, effectively correcting the positional deviation between the server and the test head 30.

[0053] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The mounting structure 10 includes a first elastic element 15, which connects the floating block 11 and the buffer block 12 and is in a compressed state to make the first conical surface 141 and the second conical surface 112 abut together. With this configuration, after the test is completed, the floating block 11 can be reset under the elastic force of the first elastic element 15 to facilitate the next test.

[0054] In one embodiment of this implementation, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 The mounting structure 10 includes a second elastic element 16 and a guide post 17. One of the buffer block 12 and the mounting block 13 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide post 17, and the other is slidably connected to the other end of the guide post 17. The second elastic element 16 connects the buffer block 12 and the mounting block 13. Specifically, the extension directions of the second elastic element 16 and the guide post 17 are both parallel to the first direction. This configuration allows for buffering of the server, and after testing, the buffer block 12 can be reset by the elastic force of the second elastic element 16, facilitating the next test.

[0055] 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.
