Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The current server module enclosure installation methods on the market are quite complex, making the installation process cumbersome and affecting installation efficiency. In addition, the structure of server modules installed in the rack is also complex and lacks stability, affecting the security of server modules installed in the rack. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the shortcomings of existing server modules on the market, which are unreasonable in internal structure layout, resulting in low internal space utilization, large space occupation, and affecting the efficiency of operators in installing server modules in the rack and maintaining server modules. The present invention provides a server module.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a server module, including a housing, a snap-fit ​​assembly disposed on the housing, and a cooling fan disposed inside the housing; the housing includes an upper cover, a lower cover, and a panel, the upper cover and the lower cover are snapped together by a snap-fit ​​structure, the cooling fan is installed inside the housing through the panel, the snap-fit ​​assembly includes a first snap-fit ​​structure and a second snap-fit ​​structure disposed on the lower cover and serving as both ends of the lower cover, the housing is fixed inside the cabinet by the first snap-fit ​​structure and the second snap-fit ​​structure. By using a snap-fit ​​structure to secure the upper and lower covers, the stability of the installation is effectively ensured while reducing the number of locking components required, simplifying the installation process, and improving the installation efficiency between the upper and lower covers. Furthermore, by using a panel to mount the cooling fan inside the housing, the stability of the cooling fan within the housing is effectively improved, and it provides cushioning and shock absorption during fan operation. Simultaneously, by utilizing the first and second snap-fit ​​structures on the lower cover to securely fasten the server module's housing within the rack, the ease of mounting and dismounting the server module within the rack is significantly improved, while a double-locking effect is achieved. This effectively enhances the stability of the server module within the rack, preventing it from detaching from the rack during transportation and vibration.

[0005] Furthermore, the upper cover includes an overlapping surface and a fixing surface, and the lower cover includes mutually perpendicular snap-fit ​​surfaces and a mounting surface. The overlapping surface of the upper cover and the snap-fit ​​surface of the lower cover are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​structure. The mutually perpendicular snap-fit ​​surface and mounting surface of the lower cover are formed by stamping, which can effectively increase the width of the housing and improve the convenience of installation of internal components within the housing. Furthermore, by using a snap-fit ​​structure to fix the overlapping surface of the upper cover and the snap-fit ​​surface of the lower cover, the stability of the installation of the upper and lower covers can be effectively ensured while effectively reducing the number of locking parts required, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency between the upper and lower covers.

[0006] Furthermore, the first snap-fit ​​structure is a first spring clip located at the front end of the mounting surface of the lower cover. The front end of the first spring clip is bent inward to form an overlap, and a spring clip cap is fitted onto the overlap. The overlap extends beyond the lower cover and is bent inward, thereby effectively preventing the first spring clip from exceeding the external dimensions of the server module, and thus preventing the overlap of the first snap-fit ​​from interfering with the operation of installing the server module in the rack. Furthermore, the spring clip cap fitted onto the overlap effectively improves the convenience and safety of the operator's work.

[0007] Furthermore, the first spring is provided with a plurality of first hooks and first mounting holes for fixing the first spring to the mounting surface, and the rack has a plurality of first slots for the first hooks to be inserted into. The locking member passes through the plurality of first mounting holes on the first spring and fixes the first spring to the mounting surface of the lower cover by riveting, which can effectively improve the stability of the first spring installed on the lower cover. By pressing the overlapping part inward, the operator can disengage the first hooks on the first spring from the first slots in the rack, thus unlocking the first latching structure from the rack. Then, by pulling the housing outward, the second latching structure can be unlocked from the rack, thereby effectively improving the convenience of installing and removing the server module from the rack.

[0008] Furthermore, the overlapping portion has a fixing groove for engaging and fixing the spring clip cap. By engaging and fixing the spring clip cap to the overlapping portion through the fixing groove, the ease of installing the spring clip cap on the overlapping portion can be effectively improved, while ensuring the stability of the spring clip cap on the overlapping portion.

[0009] Furthermore, the second snap-fit ​​structure is a second spring piece disposed at the rear end of the mounting surface of the lower cover. The second spring piece is provided with a plurality of second hooks and second mounting holes for fixing the second spring piece to the mounting surface. The cabinet has a plurality of second slots for the second hooks to be inserted into. The locking member passes through the plurality of second mounting holes on the second spring piece and fixes the second spring piece to the mounting surface of the lower cover by means of riveting, which can effectively improve the stability of the second spring piece installed on the lower cover. By pressing the overlapping part inward, the operator disengages the first hook on the first spring clip from the first slot in the cabinet, thus unlocking the first latching structure from the cabinet. Then, by pulling the housing outward, the operator can effectively improve the smoothness of disengagement from the second slot in the cabinet under pulling force, as the second hooks have beveled surfaces. This allows the operator to unlock the second latching structure from the second slot in the cabinet by pulling the housing outward. This effectively utilizes both the first and second latching structures to achieve a double locking effect, further enhancing the ease of installing and removing the server module from the cabinet.

[0010] Furthermore, the engaging structure comprises several mounting grooves on the engaging surface of the lower cover and mounting ears on the overlapping surface of the upper cover for embedding into the mounting grooves. The mounting surface of the lower cover and the fixing surface of the upper cover are locked together by locking components. By pushing the upper cover forward and causing the mounting ears on the upper cover to embed into the mounting grooves of the lower cover, the overlapping surface of the upper cover and the engaging surface of the lower cover are effectively engaged and fixed by the engaging structure. Subsequently, locking components such as bolts, studs, and pins pass through the fixing surface of the upper cover and lock it into the mounting surface of the lower cover. This effectively improves the stability of the fixed connection between the upper and lower covers, reduces the number of locking components required, simplifies the installation steps, and improves installation efficiency.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper cover also includes a positioning surface disposed between the fixed surface and the overlapping surface, and the positioning surface is provided with a plurality of baffles for positioning the cooling fan. The positioning surface can effectively increase the width of the housing, thereby effectively improving the ease of installation of the internal components of the housing. At the same time, the baffles on the positioning surface can effectively limit the position of the cooling fan inside the housing, improve the positioning accuracy of the cooling fan inside the housing, and avoid collisions between the cooling fan and the housing, which would cause wear.

[0012] Furthermore, the panel has a heat dissipation bracket fixedly connected to the cooling fan. The heat dissipation bracket has several fixing holes for locking components to pass through, and several pins for fixing the cooling fan within the heat dissipation bracket. By using bolts, studs, and pins to pass through the upper and lower covers and tighten into the fixing holes of the heat dissipation bracket on the panel, the stability of the fixed connection between the panel and the upper and lower covers can be effectively improved, thereby increasing the stability of installing the cooling fan into the housing via the panel. Furthermore, by using several pins to fix the heat dissipation bracket to the cooling fan, the stability and convenience of installing the cooling fan onto the heat dissipation bracket can be effectively improved.

[0013] Furthermore, the heat sink bracket also includes a rubber ring that abuts against the end of the cooling fan, and the panel has several ventilation holes for connecting the cooling fan to the external environment. The rubber ring on the heat sink bracket effectively cushions and absorbs shocks during the operation of the cooling fan, further preventing collisions and wear between the cooling fan and the heat sink bracket. The ventilation holes on the panel effectively ensure the cooling fan's heat dissipation performance, thereby ensuring the safe operation of the server module.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the server module provided by this utility model are as follows: By using a snap-fit ​​structure to fix the upper and lower covers, the stability of the installation of the upper and lower covers can be effectively guaranteed, while reducing the number of locking parts required, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency between the upper and lower covers. Furthermore, by using the panel to install the cooling fan inside the housing, the stability of the cooling fan installed inside the housing can be effectively improved, and it can play a role in buffering and shock absorption during the operation of the cooling fan. At the same time, by using the first and second snap-fit ​​structures on the lower cover to snap and fix the server module housing into the rack, the convenience of installing and removing the server module into the rack can be effectively improved, while achieving a double locking effect. This effectively improves the stability of the server module snapped and fixed in the rack, and prevents the server module from falling out of the rack during transportation and vibration.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] See Figure 1-6The present invention provides a server module 100, which includes a housing 10, a snap-fit ​​assembly disposed on the housing 10, and a cooling fan disposed inside the housing 10. The housing 10 includes an upper cover 11, a lower cover 12, and a panel 13. The upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 are snapped together by a snap-fit ​​structure. The cooling fan is installed inside the housing 10 through the panel 13. The snap-fit ​​assembly includes a first snap-fit ​​structure 21 and a second snap-fit ​​structure 22 disposed on the lower cover 12 and serving as both ends of the lower cover 12. The housing 10 is fixed inside the cabinet by the first snap-fit ​​structure 21 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 22. By using a snap-fit ​​structure to secure the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, the stability of the installation of the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 can be effectively ensured, while reducing the number of locking parts required, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12. Furthermore, by using the panel 13 to install the cooling fan inside the housing 10, the stability of the cooling fan installed inside the housing 10 can be effectively improved, and it can play a role in buffering and shock absorption during the operation of the cooling fan. At the same time, by using the first snap-fit ​​structure 21 and the second snap-fit ​​structure 22 on the lower cover 12 to snap and fix the housing 10 of the server module 100 into the rack, the ease of installation and removal of the server module 100 into the rack can be effectively improved, while achieving a double locking effect. This effectively improves the stability of the server module 100 snapped and fixed into the rack, and prevents the server module 100 from coming out of the rack during transportation and vibration.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper cover 11 includes an overlapping surface 111 and a fixing surface 112, and the lower cover 12 includes a mutually perpendicular snap-fit ​​surface 121 and a mounting surface 122. The overlapping surface 111 of the upper cover 11 and the snap-fit ​​surface 121 of the lower cover 12 are fixed together by a snap-fit ​​structure. The mutually perpendicular snap-fit ​​surface 121 and mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12 are formed by stamping, which can effectively increase the width of the housing 10 and improve the convenience of installation of internal components within the housing 10. Furthermore, by using a snap-fit ​​structure to fix the overlapping surface 111 of the upper cover 11 and the snap-fit ​​surface 121 of the lower cover 12, the stability of the installation of the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12 can be effectively ensured, while effectively reducing the number of locking parts required, simplifying the installation steps, and improving the installation efficiency between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12.

[0030] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first snap-fit ​​structure 21 is a first spring tab 211 located at the front end of the mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12. The front end of the first spring tab 211 is bent inward to form an overlapping portion 2111, and a spring tab cap 212 is fitted onto the overlapping portion 2111. The overlapping portion 2111 extends out of the lower cover 12 and is bent inward, thereby effectively preventing the first spring tab 211 from exceeding the external dimensions of the server module 100, and thus preventing the overlapping portion 2111 of the first snap-fit ​​from interfering with the operation of installing the server module 100 in the rack. Furthermore, the spring tab cap 212 fitted onto the overlapping portion 2111 can effectively improve the convenience and safety of the operator's operation.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first spring piece 211 is provided with several first hooks 2112 and first mounting holes 2113 for fixing the first spring piece 211 to the mounting surface 122. The rack has several first slots for the first hooks 2112 to be inserted. The locking member passes through the several first mounting holes 2113 on the first spring piece 211 and fixes the first spring piece 211 to the mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12 by riveting, which can effectively improve the stability of the first spring piece 211 installed on the lower cover 12. By pressing the overlapping part 2111 inward, the operator can disengage the first hooks 2112 on the first spring piece 211 from the first slots of the rack, thereby unlocking the first latching structure 21 from the rack. Then, by pulling out the housing 10, the second latching structure 22 can be unlocked from the rack, thus effectively improving the convenience of installing and removing the server module 100 from the rack.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the overlapping portion 2111 has a fixing groove for engaging and fixing the spring cap 212. By engaging and fixing the spring cap 212 and the overlapping portion 2111 through the fixing groove, the convenience of installing the spring cap 212 on the overlapping portion 2111 can be effectively improved, while ensuring the stability of the spring cap 212 on the overlapping portion 2111.

[0033] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the second snap-fit ​​structure 22 is a second spring piece 221 located at the rear end of the mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12. The second spring piece 221 has several second hooks 2211 and second mounting holes 2212 for fixing the second spring piece 221 to the mounting surface 122. The cabinet has several second slots for the second hooks 2211 to be inserted. The locking member passes through several second mounting holes 2212 on the second spring piece 221 and fixes the second spring piece 221 to the mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12 by riveting, which can effectively improve the stability of the second spring piece 221 installed on the lower cover 12. By pressing the overlapping part 2111 inward, the operator causes the first hook 2112 on the first spring 211 to disengage from the first slot in the cabinet, thus unlocking the first latching structure 21 from the cabinet. Then, by pulling the housing 10 outward, the operator can effectively improve the smoothness of disengaging from the second slot in the cabinet under the action of pulling force, as the second hook 2211 has a beveled surface. This allows the operator to pull the housing 10 outward to unlock the second latching structure 22 from the second slot in the cabinet. In this way, the operator can effectively use the first latching structure 21 and the second latching structure 22 to achieve a double locking effect, while further improving the convenience of installing and removing the server module 100 from the cabinet.

[0034] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the engaging structure consists of several mounting grooves 1211 on the engaging surface 121 of the lower cover 12 and mounting ears 1111 on the overlapping surface 111 of the upper cover 11 for embedding into the mounting grooves 1211. The mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12 and the fixing surface 112 of the upper cover 11 are locked together by locking components. By pushing the upper cover 11 forward and causing the mounting ears 1111 on the upper cover 11 to embed into the mounting grooves 1211 of the lower cover 12, the overlapping surface 111 of the upper cover 11 and the engaging surface 121 of the lower cover 12 are effectively engaged and fixed by the engaging structure. Subsequently, bolts, studs, and pins 133 are used as locking components to pass through the fixing surface 112 of the upper cover 11 and lock it into the mounting surface 122 of the lower cover 12. This effectively improves the stability of the fixed connection between the upper cover 11 and the lower cover 12, reduces the number of locking components required, simplifies the installation steps, and improves installation efficiency.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the upper cover 11 also includes a positioning surface 113 disposed between the fixing surface 112 and the overlapping surface 111. The positioning surface 113 is provided with a plurality of baffles 1131 for positioning the cooling fan. The positioning surface 113 effectively increases the width of the housing 10, thereby improving the ease of installation of internal components. Simultaneously, the baffles 1131 on the positioning surface 113 effectively limit the position of the cooling fan within the housing 10, improving the positioning accuracy of the cooling fan within the housing 10 and preventing collisions and wear between the cooling fan and the housing 10.

[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the panel 13 has a heat dissipation bracket 131 fixedly connected to the cooling fan. The heat dissipation bracket 131 has several fixing holes for locking elements to pass through, and several pins 133 for fixing the cooling fan inside the heat dissipation bracket 131. By using bolts, studs, and pins 133 as locking elements to pass through the upper cover 11 and lower cover 12 and tighten into the fixing holes of the heat dissipation bracket 131 on the panel 13, the stability of the fixed connection between the panel 13 and the upper cover 11 and lower cover 12 can be effectively improved, thereby improving the stability of installing the cooling fan into the housing 10 via the panel 13. Furthermore, by using several pins 133 to fix the heat dissipation bracket 131 to the cooling fan, the stability and convenience of installing the cooling fan on the heat dissipation bracket 131 can be effectively improved.

[0037] like Figure 5 As shown, the heat sink bracket 131 also has a rubber ring 132 that abuts against the end of the cooling fan, and the panel 13 has several heat dissipation holes 134 for connecting the cooling fan to the external environment. The rubber ring 132 on the heat sink bracket 131 effectively cushions and absorbs shocks during the operation of the cooling fan, further preventing collisions and wear between the cooling fan and the heat sink bracket 131. Furthermore, the heat dissipation holes 134 on the panel 13 effectively ensure the cooling effect of the cooling fan, thereby effectively ensuring the operational safety of the server module 100.

[0038] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
