[0024] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0025] Example

[0026] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 1 and 3, the IDC server node module of this embodiment includes a housing 1, a motherboard 2, a graphics card module 3, a cooling fan assembly 4, and a power supply adapter board 5. The housing 1 has an open side. The motherboard 2, the graphics card module 3, and the cooling fan assembly 4 are respectively installed on the other side wall inside the housing 1. The motherboard 2 is close to one end of the housing 1. The cooling fan assembly 4 is located between the motherboard 2 and the graphics card module 3. The air outlet of the cooling fan assembly 4 is directed towards one end of the housing 1. Ventilation openings 15 are provided on the side walls at both ends of the housing 1. The power supply adapter board 5 is installed on one side wall of the housing 1.

[0027] The IDC server node module in this embodiment adopts a direct-flow heat dissipation airflow design. Specifically, when the cooling fan assembly 4 is running, the airflow enters through the vent 15 on the side wall of the other end of the housing 1, passes through the graphics card module 3 to remove the heat generated by the graphics card, and then is blown towards one end of the housing 1 by the cooling fan assembly 4. During this process, the airflow passes through the motherboard 2, removing the heat generated by the heat-generating electrical components on the motherboard 2. The airflow direction is a direct flow from one end of the housing 1 to the other, greatly improving the heat dissipation performance. In addition, the internal space layout of the housing 1 is optimized, which enhances hardware expandability while ensuring heat dissipation performance.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the box body 1 comprises a first side wall 11, a second side wall 12, two end walls 13, and a bottom wall 14. The second side wall 12 includes a first side wall 121, two side walls 122, and a connecting wall 123. The first side wall 121 and the two side walls 122 are respectively arranged parallel to each other at both ends of one side of the first side wall 11. The connecting wall 123 is perpendicularly connected to the adjacent ends of the first side wall 121 and the two side walls 122. One end wall 13 is perpendicularly connected between one end of the first side wall 121 and one end of the first side wall 11, and the other end wall 13 is perpendicularly connected to... Between one end of the two sidewalls 122 and the other end of the first sidewall 11, the edge of the bottom wall 14 is connected and fixed to the first sidewall 11, the second sidewall 12 and the two end walls 13 respectively. The motherboard 2, the graphics card module 3 and the cooling fan assembly 4 are respectively installed on the inner surface of the bottom wall 14. The motherboard 2 is located between the first sidewall 121 and the first sidewall 11. One end of the graphics card module 3 extends to the area between the two sidewalls 122 and the first sidewall 11. The power supply adapter board 5 is installed at the connection between the first sidewall 121 and the connecting wall 123. The two end walls 13 are respectively provided with the ventilation openings 15.

[0029] In the above implementation scheme, the entire box 1 adopts a rectangular frame design, with one end of the box 1 being wider than the other end, and the wider section being higher than the narrower section. The motherboard 2 and graphics card module 3 are mainly installed in the wider section of the box 1, and hardware expansion is possible in the narrower section. The overall shape is regular.

[0030] In this embodiment, two connecting posts 124 are vertically provided on the inner side of one end of the side wall 121 near the connecting wall 123, and the power supply adapter plate 5 is vertically connected to the two connecting posts 124. The two connecting posts 124 can be additional metal posts or posts designed integrally with the side wall 121, mainly to facilitate the installation of the power supply adapter plate 5.

[0031] Preferably, the aforementioned cooling fan assembly 4 includes a perforated mounting bracket 41 extending toward the two side walls of the housing 1 and a plurality of cooling fans 42. The plurality of cooling fans 42 are all mounted in the mounting bracket 41 and arranged in a row between the two side walls of the housing 1. The "partitioned" design of the plurality of cooling fans 42 between the two side walls of the housing 1 directs airflow toward one end of the housing 1, forming a straight airflow path from one end to the other within the housing 1. This results in good airflow and effective heat dissipation.

[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the motherboard 2 is provided with a slotted air guide shroud 6 with open ends at the corresponding chip position. The slot of the air guide shroud 6 fits the motherboard 2. One end of the air guide shroud 6 is close to one end of the housing 1, and the other end of the air guide shroud 6 extends to the mounting bracket 41. At least two of the cooling fans 42 are located inside the other end of the air guide shroud 6, and at least one of the cooling fans 42 is located outside the other end of the air guide shroud 6.

[0033] In the above implementation scheme, one end of the air guide shroud 6 faces the ventilation opening 15 at one end of the housing 1, and the other end of the air guide shroud 6 is connected to the mounting bracket 41 of the cooling fan assembly 4. This allows the air blown out by at least two cooling fans 42 to enter the air guide shroud 6. The air guide shroud 6 covers the important electronic components (chips) on the motherboard 2. Therefore, the air guide shroud 6 focuses on effectively dissipating heat from the important electronic components on the motherboard 2, resulting in better heat dissipation performance and better operation of the motherboard 2. At the same time, multiple cooling fans 42 cover the areas of the side walls on both sides of the housing 1, blowing directly onto the surface, eliminating blind spots in heat dissipation and making the entire IDC server node operate more stably.

[0034] Preferably, the other end of the air guide shroud 6 is tapered, and the side of the air guide shroud 6 closest to the side wall of the housing 1 is a curved air guide surface 31. After the other end of the air guide shroud 6 is tapered, it connects with the cooling fan assembly 4. The airflow blown out by the cooling fan 42 enters through the narrower air inlet at the other end of the air guide shroud 6, which will increase the air pressure to a certain extent, allowing it to quickly enter the interior of the air guide shroud 6, promoting airflow and indirectly improving heat dissipation performance.

[0035] In this embodiment, a device debugging interface 16 is provided on the other side wall of the box 1.

[0036] In this embodiment, the motherboard 2 is an ITX motherboard of a compatible model available on the market.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment, a handle 7 is provided on the outer side of one end of the box body 1.

[0038] In the above implementation scheme, the handle 7 facilitates pushing or pulling the entire box 1 in through one end, and also makes it easy to carry the entire IDC server node module.

[0039] Preferably, the aforementioned vent 15 is a honeycomb-shaped opening. Its opening area is relatively large, resulting in better ventilation.
