Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of electronic technology, and specifically relates to a power adapter, a graphics card, and a server. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a common electronic device that can run software applications and provide computing power.

[0003] In this technology, the server is equipped with a graphics card, which is plugged into an adapter board on the server. After the graphics card is plugged in, a cable is used to connect the power connector at the rear of the graphics card to the power connector on the adapter board to supply power to the graphics card.

[0004] However, because there is little space at the rear of the graphics card after it has been plugged in, it is very inconvenient to plug in the cables. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a power adapter, a graphics card, and a server, enabling convenient power supply to the graphics card. The technical solution is as follows:

[0006] On one hand, this application provides a power adapter device applied to a graphics card. The power adapter device includes a power connection board, a power connector, and cables. The power connection board includes a main body and a plug-in part. The main body is connected to the plug-in part and is used to connect to the mounting bracket of the graphics card. The plug-in part is oriented in the same direction as the gold fingers of the graphics card and is used to plug into the power interface of the adapter board. The power connector is used to plug into the power supply interface of the graphics card. Cables are connected to the power connection board and the power connector, respectively.

[0007] In one implementation of this application, one side of the main body has a pad, and the cable is connected to the pad;

[0008] The plug portion is located on the side of the main body and is electrically connected to the solder pad.

[0009] In one implementation of this application, the power connection board further includes a connector;

[0010] The main body has a through hole, and the connector is inserted into the through hole so that the main body is connected to the mounting bracket of the graphics card through the connector.

[0011] In one implementation of this application, the through hole is elongated, and the length direction of the through hole forms an angle with the insertion direction of the insertion part.

[0012] In one implementation of this application, the main body is rectangular;

[0013] The main body has four through holes, which are located at the four corners of the main body. The connectors correspond one-to-one with the through holes, and each connector is inserted into the corresponding through hole.

[0014] In one implementation of this application, the connector is a graphics card gold finger, and the main body is a printed circuit board.

[0015] On the other hand, this application provides a graphics card, including a main card body, a fixing bracket, and the power adapter described in the preceding aspect;

[0016] The side of the main card body has graphics card gold fingers and a power supply interface;

[0017] The fixing bracket is connected to the main card body;

[0018] The main body of the power adapter is connected to the fixed bracket so that the insertion orientation of the plug part of the power adapter is consistent with the insertion orientation of the gold fingers of the graphics card, and the power connector is connected to the power supply interface.

[0019] In one implementation of this application, the main card body includes adjacent first and second sides;

[0020] The graphics card gold fingers are located on the first side;

[0021] The fixed bracket and the power supply interface are located on the second side.

[0022] In one implementation of this application, the fixing bracket and the main body are plate-shaped structural members, and the fixing bracket is attached to the main body.

[0023] In another aspect, embodiments of this application provide a server, including an adapter board and a graphics card;

[0024] One side of the adapter board has a power interface and a display interface;

[0025] The graphics card is the same as described above. The graphics card's gold fingers are inserted into the display interface, and the graphics card's power adapter is inserted into both the power interface and the graphics card's power supply interface.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include at least the following:

[0027] The power adapter provided in this application embodiment can be applied to graphics cards. The power adapter includes a power connection board, a power connector, and a cable. The power connection board and the power connector are electrically connected via the cable. The power connector can be plugged into the power supply interface of the graphics card. The power connection board includes a main body and a plug-in part. The main body is used to fix it to the mounting bracket of the graphics card, and the plug-in part is used to plug into the power interface of the adapter board. Since the plug-in orientation of the plug-in part is consistent with the plug-in orientation of the graphics card's gold fingers, the plug-in part can be simultaneously plugged into the adapter board when the graphics card is plugged in. This makes powering the graphics card very convenient, eliminating the limitations imposed by the limited space at the rear of the graphics card.

[0028] In other words, by assembling the power adapter provided in this application embodiment onto the graphics card, the graphics card can be powered through the power adapter as soon as it is plugged into the adapter board. Therefore, there is no need to plug a power cable into the narrow rear space of the graphics card after it is plugged in, which effectively improves the convenience of power supply for the graphics card.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0047] This application provides a server. Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the server's structure. In this embodiment, the server includes an adapter board 100 and a graphics card 200.

[0048] One side of the adapter board 100 has a power interface 1100 and a display interface 1200. The graphics card gold fingers 110 of the graphics card 200 are inserted into the display interface 1200. The power adapter 30 of the graphics card 200 is inserted into the power interface 1100 and the power supply interface 120 of the graphics card 200 respectively.

[0049] In the above implementation, the adapter board 100 is used to support the graphics card 200 and plays a role in transmitting data and power. The graphics card gold fingers 110 of the graphics card 200 are inserted into the display interface 1200, which enables data and power transmission between the graphics card 200 and the adapter board 100. The power adapter device 30 is connected to the power supply interface 120 of the graphics card 200 and the power supply interface 1100 of the adapter board 100, respectively, which enables power transmission between the graphics card and the adapter board 100.

[0050] It is worth noting that, in order to clearly demonstrate how the graphics card 200 is installed in the server, Figure 1 Only one graphics card 200 is shown, but this does not mean that only one graphics card 200 can be installed in the server. In this embodiment, the server includes multiple graphics cards 200, which are arranged side by side in sequence. Of course, the adapter board 100 has a corresponding number of display interfaces 1200 and power interfaces 1100, and each graphics card 200 is plugged into the corresponding display interface 1200 and power interface 1100.

[0051] Figure 2This is a structural diagram of a graphics card 200, combined with... Figure 2 In this embodiment, the graphics card 200 includes a main card body 10, a fixing bracket 20, and a power adapter 30. The main card body 10 has a graphics card gold finger 110 and a power supply interface 120 on its side. The fixing bracket 20 is connected to the main card body 10, and the main body 11 of the power adapter 30 is connected to the fixing bracket 20, such that the insertion direction of the plug-in portion 12 of the power adapter 30 is ( Figure 2 (As shown by the hollow one-way arrow in the image) and the insertion orientation of the graphics card gold finger 110 ( Figure 2 As shown by the hollow one-way arrow in the diagram, power connector 2 is connected to power interface 120.

[0052] The main card body 10 is the main body of the graphics card 200, which includes the outer casing, as well as the circuit board, chip, cooling fan, etc. installed inside the casing. The graphics card gold fingers 110 of the graphics card 200 are located on the side of the circuit board, the chip is integrated on the circuit board, and the cooling fan is shrouded on the outside of the circuit board for heat dissipation of the chip on the circuit board.

[0053] The fixed bracket 20 is connected to the main card body 10. It is used to connect to the bracket inside the server and to stabilize the graphics card 200.

[0054] For example, the fixed bracket 20 is connected to the bracket by bolts, clips, etc.

[0055] The power adapter 30 is connected to the fixed bracket 20, thus providing stable support. The power adapter 30 is connected to the power interface 1100 of the main card body 10 and the adapter plate 100, respectively, thereby enabling power supply to the main card body 10.

[0056] Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the power adapter 30, combined with... Figure 3 In this embodiment, the power adapter 30 includes a power connection plate 1, a power connector 2, and a cable 3. The power connection plate 1 includes a main body 11 and a plug-in part 12. The main body 11 is connected to the plug-in part 12. The main body 11 is used to connect to the mounting bracket 20 of the graphics card 200. The plug-in part 12 is oriented in the following direction: Figure 3 The hollow one-way arrow in the diagram indicates that the insertion direction of the graphics card gold finger 110 of the graphics card 200 is consistent with that of the graphics card 200. The insertion part 12 is used to insert into the power interface 1100 of the adapter board 100, and the power connector 2 is used to insert into the power supply interface 120 of the graphics card 200. The cable 3 is connected to the power connection board 1 and the power connector 2 respectively.

[0057] The power adapter 30 provided in this application embodiment can be applied to a graphics card 200. The power adapter 30 includes a power connection plate 1, a power connector 2, and a cable 3. The power connection plate 1 and the power connector 2 are electrically connected via the cable 3. The power connector 2 can be plugged into the power supply interface 120 of the graphics card 200. The power connection plate 1 includes a main body 11 and a plug-in part 12. The main body 11 is used to fix itself on the mounting bracket 20 of the graphics card 200, and the plug-in part 12 is used to plug into the power interface 1100 of the adapter plate 100. Since the plug-in orientation of the plug-in part 12 is consistent with the plug-in orientation of the graphics card gold fingers 110 of the graphics card 200, the plug-in part 12 can be simultaneously plugged into the adapter plate 100 when the graphics card 200 is plugged in. This makes powering the graphics card 200 very convenient, eliminating the limitation of limited space at the rear of the graphics card 200.

[0058] In other words, by assembling the power adapter 30 provided in this application embodiment to the graphics card 200, the graphics card 200 can be powered by the power adapter 30 at the same time it is plugged into the adapter board 100. Therefore, there is no need to plug the power cable 3 into the narrow rear space of the graphics card 200 after it is plugged in, which effectively improves the power supply convenience of the graphics card 200.

[0059] Figure 4 This is a structural schematic diagram of power connection board 1, combined with... Figure 4 In this embodiment, one side of the main body 11 has a pad 13, the cable 3 is connected to the pad 13, the plug part 12 is located on the side of the main body 11, and the plug part 12 is electrically connected to the pad 13.

[0060] In the above implementation, soldering with the cable 3 can be achieved through the solder pad 13, thereby ensuring a reliable electrical connection. The solder pad 13 is electrically connected to the plug part 12, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the cable 3 and the plug part 12.

[0061] For example, the connector 12 is a gold finger, and the main body 11 is a printed circuit board.

[0062] In the above implementation, the pad 13 is provided on the main body 11, and the electrical connection between the pad 13 and the connector 12 is achieved through the gold wire on the main body 11.

[0063] For example, the plug-in portion 12 and the main body portion 11 are integral structural components.

[0064] In other words, the plug-in part 12 and the main body part 11 are both integrated on the same printed circuit board, which can effectively simplify the structure of the power connection board 1.

[0065] In this embodiment, the insertion orientation of the plug-in part 12 is the extension direction of its own gold fingers, and the insertion orientation of the graphics card gold fingers 110 of the graphics card 200 is the extension direction of its own gold fingers.

[0066] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the power connection board 1 further includes a connector 14. The main body 11 has a through hole 15, and the connector 14 is inserted into the through hole 15 so that the main body 11 is connected to the fixing bracket 20 of the graphics card 200 through the connector 14.

[0067] In the above implementation, the connector 14 passes through the through hole 15 and is connected to the fixing bracket 20 of the graphics card 200, thereby realizing the fixed connection between the main body 11 and the fixing bracket 20.

[0068] For example, the connector 14 is a screw, and the fixing bracket 20 has a matching screw hole. The screw hole is opposite to the through hole 15. The screw shank passes through the through hole 15 and is inserted into the screw hole, so that the screw nut presses the main body 11 onto the fixing bracket 20.

[0069] For example, the fixing bracket 20 and the main body 11 are plate-shaped structural members, and the fixing bracket 20 is attached to the main body 11.

[0070] In the above implementation, both the fixed bracket 20 and the main body 11 are plate-shaped structural members, which can make the two fit together tightly, thereby increasing the contact area between them and ensuring a stable connection between the fixed bracket 20 and the main body 11.

[0071] See also Figure 4 In this embodiment, the through hole 15 is elongated, and there is an angle between the length direction of the through hole 15 and the insertion direction of the insertion part 12.

[0072] Because the through hole 15 is elongated, the connector 14 can move along the length of the through hole 15. In this way, the position of the main body 11 on the fixed bracket 20 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the connector 14 within the through hole 15, thereby compensating for dimensional tolerances and ensuring that after the main body 11 is installed on the fixed bracket 20, the plug-in part 12 can be correctly plugged into the power interface 1100 of the adapter plate 100.

[0073] For example, the length direction of the through hole 15 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the insertion portion 12.

[0074] See also Figure 4In this embodiment, the main body 11 is rectangular and has four through holes 15. The four through holes 15 are located at the four corners of the main body 11. The connectors 14 correspond one-to-one with the through holes 15, and each connector 14 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 15.

[0075] By arranging the through holes 15 at the four corners of the main body 11, a stable connection between the connector 14 and the fixed bracket 20 can be ensured.

[0076] It is worth noting that the arrangement of the through holes 15 and the connectors 14 on the main body 11 is related to the shape of the main body 11. For example, if the main body 11 is triangular, then there are three through holes 15, which are located at the triangular part of the main body 11, and each through hole 15 is fitted with a connector 14.

[0077] See you again Figure 2 In this embodiment, the main card body 10 includes an adjacent first side 130 and a second side 140, the graphics card gold finger 110 is located on the first side 130, and the fixing bracket 20 and the power supply interface 120 are located on the second side 140.

[0078] In the above implementation, the graphics card gold fingers 110 of the main card body 10 are separately located on the first side 130, which can prevent the graphics card gold fingers 110 from being interfered with by other components, thereby ensuring the reliable insertion of the graphics card gold fingers 110. Meanwhile, the mounting bracket 20 and the power supply interface 120 are located together on the second side 140, which facilitates the connection of the power adapter 30 mounted on the mounting bracket 20 to the power supply interface 120.
