Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computing server equipment technology, and in particular to a scalable capacity computing solid-state drive device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of computing server equipment technology, with the rapid development of applications such as artificial intelligence, big data analysis and high-performance computing, unprecedented high requirements have been placed on data storage capacity, read and write speed and I / O performance (i.e. "computing power"). Solid state drives (SSDs) have become the core storage components supporting these computing power applications due to their high-speed data access characteristics.

[0003] Traditional computing power solid-state drive (SSD) devices typically employ a method of pre-soldering or fixing multiple SSDs onto the motherboard. Their storage capacity and performance are fixed at the factory, making flexible adjustments impossible. When users need to upgrade or replace a single faulty SSD, the entire server node often needs to be shut down, a cumbersome and costly process with extremely poor flexibility. Furthermore, multiple high-performance SSDs working collaboratively under high load generate significant heat. Traditional chassis airflow cooling methods struggle to effectively and specifically cool these centrally deployed drives, easily leading to performance degradation and even hardware failure due to overheating. This severely restricts the ability of computing servers to continuously provide stable and high-performance services. Therefore, we propose a scalable capacity computing power SSD device to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-4A scalable capacity solid-state drive (SSD) device includes an integrated enclosure 1, with pull-out rings 2 fixedly installed at both ends of the integrated enclosure 1, slots 3 fixedly installed at the upper and lower ends of the inner wall of the integrated enclosure 1, an integrated board 4 installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the integrated enclosure 1, and multiple insertion slots 5 installed on the upper surface of the integrated board 4, and further includes:

[0031] An expansion component 6 is inserted into the inner cavity of the integrated box 1. The expansion component 6 includes an expansion base 601, a solid plug 602 installed at the front end of the expansion base 601, a connecting plug 603 fixed at the rear end of the expansion base 601, a solid storage strip 604 sleeved in the inner cavity of the expansion base 601, a support foot 605 fixed at one end of the inner cavity of the expansion base 601, and a fastening bolt 606 threaded in the inner cavity of the support foot 605, an elastic gasket 607 fixed on the upper surface of the expansion base 601, and an elastic pressing piece 608 fixed on the upper surface of the expansion base 601.

[0032] As an independent pluggable module, expansion component 6 is designed to allow users to hot-swap it. It operates in conjunction with a motherboard and system that supports this function. Expansion socket 601 not only provides physical support for solid-state storage module 604, but also integrates and relays electrical connections through built-in wiring.

[0033] Solid-state storage module 604 can adopt NVMe M.2 or similar high-performance interface specifications to provide extremely high data transfer rates, meeting the requirements of computing applications for low latency and high throughput;

[0034] The temperature control component 7 is installed on the rear end face of the integrated box 1. The temperature control component 7 includes a cooling box 701 located on the rear end face of the integrated box 1. The cooling box 701 has slots 702 fixed at both ends. A connecting plate 703 is fixed at one end of the slot 702. The surface of the connecting plate 703 is fitted with connecting bolts 704 that are threaded to both sides of the integrated box 1. Cooling fans 705 are installed at equal intervals in the inner cavity of the cooling box 701. A multi-mesh mesh 706 is attached to the surface of the cooling box 701. A locking block 707 is fixed at both ends of the multi-mesh mesh 706. A compression spring 708 is fixed in the inner cavity of the locking block 707. A locking block 709 is fixed at the extended end of the compression spring 708.

[0035] The temperature control component 7, as an independent heat dissipation module, directly exhausts and dissipates the concentrated heat generated by multiple high-power operating expansion components 6. After the cooling fan 705 is started, the hot air inside the integrated box 1 is drawn out through the multi-mesh mesh 706 to form a heat dissipation airflow from front to back, which effectively reduces the operating temperature of the solid-state storage strip 604 and ensures its continuous high-performance operation. While ensuring ventilation efficiency, the multi-mesh mesh 706 also plays a role in preventing dust and foreign objects from entering.

[0036] Its modular installation method, secured by connecting bolts 704, makes it easy for users to clean or replace the cooling fan 705 later. The elastic telescopic locking structure inside the clip 707 makes the cleaning and maintenance of the multi-mesh mesh 706 extremely convenient, allowing for disassembly and installation without tools.

[0037] Furthermore, one end of the solid-state storage strip 604 is plugged into the solid-state connector 602, and the solid-state storage strip 604 and the solid-state connector 602 are electrically connected.

[0038] Furthermore, the solid plug 602 and the connector plug 603 are electrically connected via a ribbon cable, and the connector plug 603 is inserted into the inner cavity of the plug slot 5.

[0039] This is a high-speed signal cable that ensures the integrity of signal transmission from the solid-state storage module 604 to the integrated board 4, minimizing signal attenuation and interference. The connector 603 and the socket 5 on the motherboard together constitute the core data and power channels of the device.

[0040] Furthermore, the expansion base 601 is inserted into the slot 3, the elastic pad 607 is movably connected to the upper slot 3 on the inner wall of the integrated box 1, and the elastic pressing piece 608 is movably connected to the lower slot 3 on the inner wall of the integrated box 1.

[0041] Furthermore, the expansion base 601 forms an engaging structure with the slot 3 through the elastic pad 607, the elastic pressing piece 608, and the elastic pad 608.

[0042] The locking structure ensures that the expansion component 6 is fixed in position after being inserted into the integrated box 1, preventing the connection from becoming loose due to vibration or movement. When inserted, the elastic pressing piece 608 and the elastic pad 607 deform to generate a continuous elastic force, which makes the expansion base 601 tightly fixed in the slot 3. When pulled out, pressing the elastic pressing piece 608 to apply external force can overcome the elastic force and easily remove the module.

[0043] Furthermore, the fastening bolt 606 is movably connected to one end surface of the solid storage bar 604, and the solid storage bar 604 forms an assemblable structure with the support foot 605 through the fastening bolt 606;

[0044] This assemblable structure allows users to upgrade or replace a single solid-state storage bar 604 without replacing the entire expansion module, significantly improving the flexibility and economy of the device. Tightening the fastening bolts 606 compresses the support feet 605, thereby firmly clamping the solid-state storage bar 604 from the side and preventing it from falling off during transportation or installation.

[0045] Furthermore, the locking block 709 is sleeved through the slot 702, and the locking block 709 forms an elastic telescopic structure with the slot 707 through the compression spring 708.

[0046] Working principle: Firstly, regarding functional expansion and data interaction: the core of the device's computing power and storage capacity is provided by multiple pluggable expansion components 6. Each expansion component 6 is an independent functional unit, which receives and fixes a high-performance NVMe M.2 solid-state storage module 604 through a solid-state connector 602 inside the expansion socket 601. When the user needs to expand the capacity or computing power, they only need to insert the entire expansion component 6 into the slot 3 on the inner wall of the integrated box 1. During the insertion process, the elastic pad 607 at the upper end and the elastic pressing piece 608 at the lower end of the expansion socket 601 undergo elastic deformation, generating a continuous clamping force, forming a locking structure with the slot 3. To ensure the module remains securely connected even under vibration and prevent loosening, the connector 603 at the rear of the expansion component 6 is precisely inserted into the corresponding slot 5 on the integrated board 4, thereby establishing a high-speed data and power channel. Data from the solid-state storage strip 604 is collected through the solid-state connector 602 and transmitted to the connector 603 via the high-speed ribbon cable inside the expansion socket 601. Finally, it is integrated into the main circuit of the integrated board 4 through the slot 5 to achieve communication with the host system. Each solid-state storage strip 604 is laterally clamped and fixed by the assembly structure consisting of the fastening bolt 606 and the bracket 605, ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0047] Regarding thermal management and stable operation: When multiple high-performance solid-state storage modules 604 operate in parallel under high load, a large amount of concentrated heat is generated. At this time, the independent temperature control component 7 located at the rear of the integrated box 1 starts to work, and the activated cooling fan 705 powerfully draws air, forming a directional heat dissipation airflow from front to back from the expansion component towards the temperature control component in the sealed cavity of the integrated box 1. The hot air generated by the core heat-generating components is continuously drawn out of the box through the multi-mesh mesh 706. While ensuring efficient ventilation, the multi-mesh mesh 706 effectively blocks the intrusion of dust and foreign objects. This efficient forced air cooling mechanism can quickly reduce the operating temperature of the solid-state storage module 604, ensuring that it is always in the best working state and avoiding performance degradation or damage due to overheating. The temperature control component 7 itself also adopts a modular design and is fixed by connecting bolts 704, which is convenient for disassembly and maintenance. Its multi-mesh mesh 706 is locked to the locking block 709 and the slot 702 by the compression spring 708 in the locking block 707. Quick disassembly and assembly can be achieved without tools, which is convenient for users to clean dust regularly and maintain heat dissipation performance. This completes the working principle of this utility model.

[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model, should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
