[0002] Currently, most servers in data centers use cables to power themselves. However, since various types of cables need to be plugged into the server to ensure its normal operation, the power supply cables are prone to getting tangled with other cables, resulting in a complex server structure and increasing the difficulty of cable substrate and disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a bus module that aims to solve the problem that existing servers use cables to power themselves, which makes the cables, as power supply components, prone to tangling with other cables, increasing the difficulty of the power supply component's substrate and disassembly.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a bus module, including a plug-in assembly. The plug-in assembly includes a plug-in terminal group and a housing. The plug-in terminal group substrate is located on the housing and partially extends out of the housing. The portion of the plug-in terminal group extending out of the housing is used for connection with a connector. The housing has a U-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the housing is perpendicular to the plugging direction of the plug-in terminal group.

[0005] In one embodiment, the bus module further includes a conductive rod, which is a rigid strip structure. One end of the conductive rod is connected to the portion of the plug-in terminal group located inside the housing. When the plug-in terminal group is plugged into the connector, the conductive rod is attached to the surface of the server body.

[0006] In one embodiment, the bus module further includes a connecting component, which includes a head, a root, and a connecting portion. One end of the head is clamped between the plug-in terminal group and the fixed body, and the other end is connected to one end of the connecting portion. One end of the root is connected to the conductive rod, and the other end is connected to the other end of the connecting portion.

[0007] In one embodiment, the bus module further includes a screw connector, and the plug-in assembly further includes two fixing members, one end of which abuts against the inner wall of the housing, and the other end is inserted into one side of the plug-in terminal group;

[0008] The outer shell has a first through hole, a second through hole, and a third through hole respectively on its two shell walls, the two fixing members, and the plug-in terminal group. The screws pass through the first through hole, the second through hole, and the third through hole in sequence to thread the outer shell, the fixing members, and the plug-in terminal group together.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fixing member includes a fixing body and a protrusion. One end of the fixing body abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell, and the other end is inserted into one side of the plug-in terminal group. One end of the protrusion is connected to the fixing body, and the other end extends out of the outer shell for the operator to hold.

[0010] In one embodiment, two connecting components are provided between the plug-in terminal group and the conductive rod, and the two connecting components are arranged symmetrically.

[0011] In one embodiment, the bus module further includes a cover plate, the cover plate substrate being located at one end of the conductive rod near the plug-in assembly, and the end of the cover plate opposite to the conductive rod having a cable passage groove for allowing external cables to pass through the bus module.

[0012] In one embodiment, the bus module further includes a plurality of substrates, which are spaced apart along the length of the conductive rod on one side of the width of the conductive rod and are used for threaded connection with the server body.

[0013] This utility model also proposes a server, including a server body and a bus module, wherein the bus module is the bus module described above, and the bus module is inserted into the connector of the server body.

[0014] In one embodiment, the server includes two bus modules, both of which are inserted into the main body of the server and are arranged symmetrically.

[0015] This utility model proposes a bus module, which mainly includes a plug-in assembly. The plug-in assembly includes a plug-in terminal group and a housing. The plug-in terminal group substrate is on the housing and partially extends out of the housing. The part of the plug-in terminal group extending out of the housing is used to connect with a connector to supply power to the server. The housing has a U-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the housing is perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the plug-in terminal group, which avoids interference between the structure of the housing itself and the connector or other components, making the connection between the plug-in assembly and the connector more flexible and convenient. When the plug-in assembly is inserted into the corresponding connector, the conductive rod connected to the plug-in assembly will fit against the surface of the server body, thereby creating a clear isolation from other cables and avoiding cable tangling, thus reducing the difficulty of the power supply component substrate and disassembly.

[0026] Currently, most servers in data centers use cables to power themselves. However, since various types of cables need to be plugged into the server to ensure its normal operation, the power supply cables are prone to getting tangled with other cables, resulting in a complex server structure and increasing the difficulty of cable substrate and disassembly.

[0027] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes a bus module designed to solve the problem that existing servers use cables to power themselves, which makes the cables, as power supply components, prone to tangling with other cables, increasing the difficulty of the power supply component's substrate and disassembly.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the bus module 100 includes a plug-in assembly 10, a conductive rod 20, a screw connector 30, a connecting assembly 40, a cover plate 50, and a base plate 60.

[0029] One end of the plug-in assembly 10 is used to connect to the connector on the server body. The conductive rod 20 is a rigid strip structure. One end of the conductive rod 20 is connected to the other end of the plug-in assembly 10 and fits against the surface of the server body for electrical connection with other internal components of the server. Because the conductive rod 20 is a rigid strip structure, it will not easily deform. When the plug-in assembly 10 is inserted into the corresponding connector, the conductive rod 20 will fit against the surface of the server body, thus creating a clear physical isolation from other cables, avoiding cable tangling, and reducing the difficulty of the power supply component's substrate and disassembly.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the plug-in assembly 10 includes a plug-in terminal group 11 and a housing 12, wherein the plug-in terminal group 11 is installed in the housing 12 and partially extends out of the housing 12.

[0031] Specifically, the plug-in terminal assembly 11 includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and an insulating sheet sandwiched between them. The positive and negative electrode plates are thinner at their tips and thicker at their bases, and... Figure 2It extends from the left to the right along the insertion direction. The positive and negative electrode plates can be made of brass, copper, etc., and their surfaces can also undergo special electroplating treatment to enhance their conductivity and corrosion resistance.

[0032] The housing 12 has a U-shaped structure, and the opening direction of the housing 12 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug-in terminal group 11. The housing 12 serves to protect and fix the plug-in terminal group 11, and the housing is formed by bending a metal sheet with an insulating layer on its surface. If necessary, it can also be made of insulating material, such as engineering plastic, to provide good insulation performance and mechanical strength. The U-shaped structure of the housing 12 creates a substrate groove, providing a stable substrate space for the plug-in terminal group 11, making it less prone to displacement and loosening under external forces. In particular, the opening direction of the housing 12 is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the plug-in terminal group 11, thus avoiding interference between the structure of the housing 12 and the connector or other components, making the connection between the plug-in assembly 10 and the connector more flexible and convenient, thereby reducing the substrate complexity of the bus module 100.

[0033] The main body of the plug terminal group 11 is installed inside the housing 12 for electrical connection with the conductive rod 20, while the protruding part of the plug terminal group 11 extends out of the housing 12 for plugging with the connector and making tight contact with the metal contacts of the connector itself, thereby achieving stable power transmission.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the bus module 100 further includes a connection component 40, which is, for example, a flexible copper busbar. The connection component 40 includes a head 41, a root 42, and a connecting portion 43. The head 41 is sandwiched between the plug terminal group 11 and the side wall of the housing 12, and one end of the root 42 is connected to the conductive rod 20. The head 41, root 42, and connecting portion 43 may be three combined elements, or different parts of a single element.

[0035] In this embodiment, both the head 41 and the root 42 are flat plate-shaped structures, while the connecting part 43 is an arc-shaped spring-loaded structure. The head 41 is stably connected to the plug-in terminal group 11 and the fixing body via a screw connector 30; the root 42 is used to connect to the conductive rod 20, and one end of it can be firmly connected to the conductive rod 20 through threaded connection, welding, or other connection methods. This ensures high connection strength and electrical conductivity between the two. The connection method between the connecting part 43 and the head 41 and the root 42 can be welding or integral design, ensuring structural stability and electrical conductivity among the three. The connecting part 43 can be a bundle of metal wound wire, such as copper. The design of this connecting component 40 further optimizes the power transmission path and connection stability of the bus module 100. By connecting the head 41 and the root 42 to the plug-in component and the conductive rod 20 respectively, the problem of direct connection between the plug-in component 10 and the conductive rod 20 is effectively avoided. At the same time, the connecting part 43 is made of conductive metal material, ensuring that the connecting component 40 can efficiently transmit current.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the bus module 100 further includes a screw connector 30, and the plug-in assembly 10 further includes two fixing members 13. One end of the fixing member 13 abuts against the inner wall of the housing 12, and the other end is inserted into one side of the plug-in terminal group 11. The two housing walls of the housing 12, the two fixing members 13 and the plug-in terminal group 11 are respectively provided with a first through hole, a second through hole and a third through hole. The screw connector 30 passes through the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole in sequence to thread the housing 12, the fixing members 13 and the plug-in terminal group 11 together.

[0037] In this embodiment, the fastener 13 includes a base plate 131, two plug-in posts 132 and a protrusion 133. The base plate 131 and the two plug-in posts 132 are made in one piece to ensure their structural stability.

[0038] The substrate 131 has two through holes, and the two insertion posts 132 have grooves in the middle. The through holes of the substrate 131 are connected to the grooves of the insertion posts. The substrate 131 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 12, serving a positioning and support function to ensure the accurate position of the insertion terminal group 11 within the outer shell 12. The insertion posts are inserted into the interior of the insertion terminal group 11, further enhancing the stability of the substrate of the insertion terminal group 11 and preventing the insertion terminal group 11 from shaking or shifting during use.

[0039] In this embodiment, the screw connector 30 can be a screw, nut or other threaded connection component. There are two first through holes, two second through holes and two third through holes. The center of the second through hole coincides with the axial center of the insert post. The first through hole and the third through hole are at the same height as the second through hole.

[0040] When assembling the plug-in assembly 10, the plug-in posts 132 of the two fixing members 13 are first inserted into both sides of the plug-in terminal group 11. Then, the combined structure of the fixing members 13 and the plug-in terminal group 11 is placed inside the housing 12. The base plates 131 of the two fixing members 13 abut against the inner walls of the two housings of the housing 12 to complete the pre-base plate. Then, the housing 12, fixing members 13 and plug-in terminal group 11 are connected by threaded fasteners 30 passing through the first through hole, the second through hole and the third through hole in sequence. Thus, the plug-in assembly 10 remains stable under complex working conditions, effectively reducing faults such as poor contact and power interruption caused by loosening of the plug-in assembly 10, and ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the server.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, one end of the substrate 131 abuts against the inner wall of the outer shell 12, and the other end is inserted into one side of the plug-in terminal group 11. One end of the protrusion 133 is connected to the substrate 131, and the other end extends out of the outer shell 12 for the operator to hold.

[0042] In this embodiment, the protrusion 133 is a functional extension of the fixing member 13. One end of it is connected to the substrate 131, and the other end extends out of the outer shell 12. The protruding part is a block-shaped structure so that the operator can grasp it by hand. In actual use, when the substrate or bus module 100 needs to be disassembled, the operator can easily operate the fixing member 13 by grasping the protrusion 133, thereby realizing the disassembly or removal of the entire plug-in assembly 10, which effectively reduces the difficulty of operation.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, two connecting components 40 are provided between the plug-in terminal group 11 and the conductive rod 20, and the two connecting components 40 are arranged symmetrically.

[0044] In this embodiment, the two sides of the plug-in terminal group 11 are the positive and negative terminals, respectively. One of the two connecting components 40 is located between the conductive rod 20 and the positive terminal of the plug-in terminal group 11, forming a positive current transmission path; the other is located between the conductive rod 20 and the negative terminal of the plug-in terminal group 11, forming a negative current transmission path. The two connecting components 40 are symmetrically arranged, and the connecting portions 43 of both connecting components 40 are flexible copper busbars with an arc-shaped structure, giving the two connecting components 40 a certain degree of deformation capability. This allows the bus module 100 to overcome certain tolerances when inserted with the connector, further improving the practicality of the bus module 100.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, the bus module 100 further includes a cover plate 50. The base plate of the cover plate 50 is located at one end of the conductive rod 20 near the plug-in assembly 10. The end of the cover plate 50 away from the conductive rod 20 is provided with a wire passage groove 51 for external cables to pass through the bus module 100.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cover plate 50 is used to fix and protect the conductive rod 20. It is made of an insulating material, such as engineering plastic. The cover plate 50 includes two vertical parts and one horizontal part. The two vertical parts are connected to the two ends of the horizontal part along the length of the conductive rod 20. The vertical part near the plug-in assembly 10 forms a receiving groove on the surface away from the conductive rod 20 to protect the root 42. The horizontal part is attached to the end of the conductive rod 20 near the plug-in assembly 10 by mechanical pressing or snap-fitting, forming a wrapping and support for the end of the conductive rod 20. At the same time, the two vertical parts and the horizontal part form a U-shaped cable passage 51. The cable passage 51 provides a dedicated path for external cables, allowing them to pass through the busbar module 100 in an orderly manner, avoiding contact or entanglement with the conductive components inside the module. The inner wall of the cable passage 51 has a smooth chamfer to prevent the cable from being scratched when passing through. The cover 50 is designed to provide physical protection for the end of the conductive rod 20, preventing damage from impacts or bending during transportation or substrate preparation. Simultaneously, the cover 50, made of insulating material, effectively prevents operators from accidentally contacting the live conductive rod 20, improving safety. Furthermore, it provides a clear path for external cables, allowing them to pass neatly through the module and preventing tangling with the conductive rod 20 or other components, further optimizing the server's spatial layout.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the bus module 100 further includes a plurality of substrates 60, which are spaced apart along the length of the conductive rod 20 on one side of the conductive rod 20 in the width direction and are used to make threaded connections with the server body.

[0048] In this embodiment, the substrate 60 can be made of metal or high-strength engineering plastic to provide good mechanical strength and corrosion resistance. Specifically, the substrate 60 has an L-shaped structure. The vertical portion of the substrate 60 is fixedly connected to the conductive rod 20 by welding or integral molding, while the horizontal portion has threaded holes and is threadedly connected to the corresponding position of the server body through the connecting assembly 40. The specific number of substrates 60 is not limited here. In this embodiment, the conductive rod 20 is firmly fixed to the server body by multiple spaced substrates 60, which enables the conductive rod 20 to effectively resist vibration and impact, further improving the substrate stability of the bus module 100.

[0049] This utility model also proposes a server (not shown), including a server body and a bus module 100. The bus module 100 is inserted into the server body. The specific structure of the bus module 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the bus module 100 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0050] like Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the server includes two bus modules 100, both of which are inserted into the server body and are arranged symmetrically.

[0051] In this embodiment, the server adopts a dual-power supply design. One bus module 100 is plugged into a connector, and the two bus modules 100 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the server body, making full use of the internal space and avoiding the space waste caused by traditional centralized power supply designs. Furthermore, even if one bus module 100 fails due to short circuits, open circuits, or other reasons, the other module can still provide 100% power support, ensuring uninterrupted server operation and further improving the operational stability of the bus modules 100.

[0052] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of this utility model and its drawings under the technical concept of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
