During installation, the liquid-cooled circuit board connects to the server's motherboard via its gold fingers to establish an electrical connection. The liquid-cooled circuit board then connects to the distributor's connector via the liquid-cooling connector, allowing the cooling medium within the distributor to enter the liquid-cooling channels. Finally, the liquid-cooled circuit board is secured to the server using bolts or other fasteners. The connector incorporates a spring structure to ensure a tight seal between the liquid-cooling connector and the distributor.

[0004] However, during the insertion and removal of liquid-cooled boards, the liquid-cooled connector is subjected to the force of the spring structure inside the connector, which may cause one end of the liquid-cooled board to tilt up, making it easy to damage the gold fingers and the motherboard connector.

These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0043] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0044] The terms “first,” “second,” “third,” and “fourth,” etc. (if present), in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this utility model are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having,” and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0045] As described in the background section, in related technologies, liquid-cooled circuit boards have gold fingers and liquid-cooling connectors. During installation, the liquid-cooled circuit board connects to the server's motherboard via its gold fingers to establish an electrical connection. The liquid-cooled circuit board then connects to the connector of a distributor via a liquid-cooling connector, allowing the cooling medium within the distributor to enter the liquid-cooling channels. The liquid-cooled circuit board is then secured to the server using bolts or other fasteners. The connector contains a spring structure that continuously applies axial elastic force to compress the sealing ring between the liquid-cooling connector and the connector, ensuring a tight seal between them.

[0046] However, during the insertion and removal of liquid-cooled boards, the liquid-cooled connector is subjected to the force of the spring structure inside the connector, which may cause one end of the liquid-cooled board to tilt up, making it easy to damage the gold fingers and the motherboard connector.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in the prior art, the gold fingers 301 and the liquid cooling connector 302 of the liquid-cooled board 10 are both located at the bottom of the liquid-cooled board 10, and the liquid cooling connector 302 is located at the end of the bottom of the liquid-cooled board 10. When installing the liquid-cooled board 10, it is necessary to keep the liquid-cooled board 10 flush in the horizontal direction, and then insert it into the server vertically downwards so that the gold fingers 301 are connected to the motherboard 202 of the server, and the liquid cooling connector 302 is connected to the connector 401 of the splitter 40. Finally, the board 10 is fixed to the server chassis 201 with bolts or other fasteners.

[0048] When board 10 is inserted, the elastic force of the spring structure inside connector 401 acts on the liquid cooling connector 302, causing one end of board 10 to tilt upwards, making it difficult to ensure that the front and rear ends of board 10 are inserted horizontally at the same time. When board 10 is removed, when the connection between board 10 and server chassis 201 is disconnected, the elastic force of the spring structure inside connector 401 acts on the liquid cooling connector 302, causing one end of board 10 to tilt upwards.

[0049] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a board balancing mechanism and a server. The board balancing mechanism includes a main body, a sliding member, and an elastic member. The main body is mounted on the server, and the main body and a power distributor on the server are located on opposite sides of the server. The main body has a guide groove, the extension direction of which is the same as the board insertion / removal direction. The sliding member is slidably disposed within the guide groove, and the elastic member is disposed within the guide groove and connected to the sliding member. The guide groove within the main body guides and limits the guide portion of the board to guide its insertion. After the guide portion of the board abuts against the sliding member within the guide groove, the sliding member, under the action of the elastic member, continuously provides a counterforce. This balances the elastic force of the spring structure within the connector, preventing the board from tilting or lifting, thereby avoiding damage to the board's gold fingers and the motherboard connector.

[0050] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in this application embodiment includes a main body 100, a sliding member 200, and an elastic member 300.

[0052] The main body 100 is mounted on a server, and the main body 100 and the splitter 40 on the server are located on opposite sides of the server. The main body 100 has a guide groove 110, the extension direction of which is the same as the insertion and removal direction of the board 30. At least a portion of the sliding member 200 is slidably disposed within the guide groove 110, and the elastic member 300 is disposed within the guide groove 110 and connected to the sliding member 200.

[0053] The slider 200 is configured to abut against the guide portion 303 of the plate 30 when the guide portion 303 of the plate 30 enters the guide groove 110 under the action of the elastic member 300.

[0054] It is understood that the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in this application embodiment can be used to assist the board 30 in docking with the motherboard 202 and the distributor 40 on the server. The board 30 has gold fingers 301 and a liquid cooling connector 302. The board 30 is electrically connected to the connector 203 of the motherboard 202 via the gold fingers 301. The liquid cooling channels within the board 30 are connected to the distributor 40 via the liquid cooling connector 302, so that the distributor 40 delivers cooling medium to the liquid cooling channels, thereby dissipating heat and cooling the board 30. For example, the board 30 can be a liquid-cooled PCIe board 30 (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express).

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the board balancing mechanism 10 is disposed on the server chassis 201, and the board balancing mechanism 10 and the distributor 40 are respectively disposed on two opposite inner side walls of the chassis 201. The board 30 has a guide part 303, and the guide part 303 and the liquid cooling connector 302 are respectively located at opposite ends on the same side of the board 30, and the guide part 303 and the liquid cooling connector 302 are spaced apart along the second direction.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 As shown, when inserting the board 30, first ensure that the board 30 is flush in the second direction, and then insert the board 30 into the server along the first direction intersecting the second direction. The extension direction of the guide groove 110 of the main body 100 is parallel to the first direction. In this way, when the guide portion 303 of the board 30 extends into the guide groove 110, the guide groove 110 can guide and limit the guide portion 303 of the board 30, so that the board 30 maintains movement in the first direction and prevents the board 30 from tilting or lifting in the second direction.

[0057] When the liquid cooling connector 302 of the board 30 contacts the spring structure inside the connector 401 of the separator, the guide part 303 abuts against the sliding member 200 along the guide groove 110. As the board 30 is continuously inserted, the sliding member 200 continuously provides a counterforce under the action of the elastic member 300. This balances the elastic force of the spring structure inside the connector 401, preventing the board 30 from tilting or lifting in the second direction, thus protecting the gold fingers 301 of the board 30 and the connector 203 of the motherboard 202. Finally, after the gold fingers 301 of the board 30 are fully inserted into the connector 203 of the motherboard 202, and the liquid cooling connector 302 of the board 30 is fully inserted into the connector 401 of the separator, the board 30 can be fixed to the server chassis 201 using bolts or other fasteners.

[0058] When board 30 needs to be removed, after unlocking the fasteners between board 30 and chassis 201, the elastic element 300 of board balancing mechanism 10 provides a force to board 30. This force balances the force provided to board 30 by the spring structure inside connector 401, keeping board 30 flush in the second direction and allowing it to pop out in the first direction. This makes it easy for staff to remove board 30 from server chassis 201 after it pops out.

[0059] To facilitate understanding of the directions, an XYZ spatial coordinate system is established in the accompanying drawings of the relevant specification. The X-axis represents the first direction as indicated in this embodiment, the Y-axis represents the second direction, and the Z-axis represents the third direction. The extension direction of the guide groove 110 and the insertion / removal direction of the board 30 are both the first direction.

[0060] For example, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first direction can be vertical, and the second direction can be horizontal.

[0061] In summary, the board balancing mechanism 10 provided in this application embodiment has a guide groove 110 provided in the main body 100. The guide groove 110 can guide and limit the guide portion 303 of the board 30 to guide the board 30 for insertion. After the guide portion 303 of the board 30 abuts against the sliding member 200 in the guide groove 110, the sliding member 200 will continuously provide a counterforce under the action of the elastic member 300. This can balance the elastic force of the spring structure in the connector 401, prevent the board 30 from tilting or lifting, and thus avoid damage to the gold fingers 301 of the board 30 and the connector 203 of the motherboard 202.

[0062] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 200 has a first limiting part 210, and the main body 100 is provided with a limiting groove 120. The limiting groove 120 is connected to the guide groove 110, and the extending direction of the limiting groove 120 is the same as the extending direction of the guide groove 110.

[0063] The first limiting part 210 is configured to slide within the limiting groove 120 to limit the slider 200 within the guide groove 110.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the first limiting part 210 is slidably disposed in the limiting groove 120. Through the cooperation between the first limiting part 210 and the limiting groove 120, the sliding member 200 is limited in the guide groove 110. This can prevent the sliding member 200 from being ejected from the guide groove 110 in the first direction due to the force of the elastic member 300.

[0065] The extension direction of the limiting slide 120 is the same as that of the guide slide 110, and both are in the first direction, so as to ensure that the sliding member 200 moves along the first direction.

[0066] Reference Figures 7 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the guide groove 110 includes a first groove portion 111 and a second groove portion 112, the second groove portion 112 is disposed in the first groove portion 111, and the limiting groove 120 communicates with the second groove portion 112.

[0067] The first slide groove 111 is used to guide the guide part 303 of the plate 30 into the slide, the slider 200 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove 112, and the elastic member 300 is disposed between the second slide groove 112 and the limiting slide groove 120.

[0068] In the above embodiment, when the board 30 is inserted, the guide portion 303 of the board 30 can enter the first slide groove portion 111. The first slide groove portion 111 can guide and limit the guide portion 303 so that the board 30 and the guide portion 303 of the board 30 are inserted in the first direction.

[0069] The second slide groove is disposed within the first slide groove, and the slider 200 is slidably disposed within the second slide groove. The slider 200 is adapted to the second slide groove, and the movement direction of the slider 200 is constrained by the second slide groove so that the slider 200 always moves in the first direction, thus preventing the slider 200 from deviating when subjected to the force of the elastic member 300 and the guide portion 303 of the plate 30.

[0070] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first slide groove 111, the second slide groove 112, and the limiting slide groove 120 all extend along a first direction. The first slide groove 111, the second slide groove 112, and the limiting slide groove 120 are arranged sequentially along a second direction and are connected sequentially. The first limiting part 210 extends along the second direction. This ensures that the slider 200 is slidably disposed in the second slide groove, and the first limiting part 210 is slidably disposed in the limiting slide groove 120. After the guide part 303 of the plate 30 enters the first slide groove 111, it can abut against the slider 200.

[0071] The elastic element 300 is disposed between the second slide groove 112 and the limiting slide groove 120 to ensure that there is a large space for installing the elastic element 300.

[0072] Preferred, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0073] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, a second limiting part 113 is provided in the first sliding groove 111, and the second limiting part 113 is used to abut against the guide part 303 of the board 30.

[0074] In the above embodiment, when the gold fingers 301 of the board 30 are inserted into the connector 203 of the motherboard 202, and the liquid cooling connector 302 of the board 30 is connected to the connector 401 of the splitter 40, the second limiting part 113 can abut against the guide part 303 of the board 30 to restrict the guide part 303 from continuing to move in the first direction, so as to prevent the board 30 and the guide part 303 of the board 30 from continuing to move in the first direction and causing damage.

[0075] Among them, reference Figure 8 As shown, the second limiting part 113 has an avoidance notch, which corresponds to the second sliding groove part 112, so as to avoid the second sliding groove part 112 and the second limiting part 113 from affecting the movement of the sliding member 200 in the second sliding groove part 112.

[0076] Reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the end of the first groove portion 111 away from the elastic member 300 has at least one chamfered portion 114.

[0077] In the above embodiment, the chamfered portion 114 provided at the end of the first slide groove portion 111 can guide the guide portion 303 of the board 30 into the first slide groove portion 111, so that the guide portion 303 of the board 30 can transition more smoothly and easily when entering the first slide groove portion 111, reducing direct collision and avoiding severe friction or jamming between the guide portion 303 of the board 30 and the end of the first slide groove portion 111.

[0078] It is understood that there is at least one chamfered portion 114, and the number of chamfered portions 114 can be one, two or more, and the embodiments of this application do not impose too many restrictions on this.

[0079] Specifically, refer to Figure 8 As shown, there are 4 chamfered portions 114.

[0080] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a first connecting part 130 is provided in the guide groove 110, a second connecting part 220 is provided on the sliding member 200, and the two ends of the elastic member 300 are respectively connected to the first connecting part 130 and the second connecting part 220.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the elastic member 300 is connected to the first connecting part 130 in the guide groove 110 and the second connecting part 220 on the slider 200 together, so as to limit the elastic member 300 in the guide groove 110 and prevent the elastic member 300 from popping out of the guide groove 110 when it is deformed by force.

[0082] For example, refer to Figure 7 As shown, the elastic element 300 can be a spring, and the first connecting part 130 and the second connecting part 220 are both cylindrical structures. The two ends of the spring are respectively sleeved on the outside of the first connecting part 130 and the outside of the second connecting part 220.

[0083] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connecting part 130 is disposed between the second sliding part 112 and the limiting sliding part 120.

[0084] Reference Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the slider 200 is provided with a relief groove 230 on the side facing the first connecting portion 130, and the second connecting portion 220 is located in the relief groove 230.

[0085] In the above embodiment, the second connecting part 220 is disposed in the avoidance groove 230 to avoid occupying the space of the second sliding groove part 112, thereby making the overall structure more compact.

[0086] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 100 is provided with a blocking portion 140, which covers at least a portion of the guide groove 110 to confine the slider 200 within the guide groove 110.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the enclosure portion 140 is provided to cover the guide groove 110, so as to limit the slider 200 within the guide groove 110 and prevent the slider 200 from falling out of the guide groove 110 along the second direction during the movement.

[0088] It is understood that the enclosure portion 140 covers at least a portion of the guide groove 110. The enclosure portion 140 may cover a portion of the guide groove 110, for example, referring to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the barrier portion 140 is located in the middle area of ​​the guide groove 110, which not only restricts the sliding member 200 but also reduces manufacturing costs. The barrier portion 140 can also cover the entire guide groove 110 to further improve the stability of the sliding member 200's movement.

[0089] The enclosure part 140 can be detachably connected to the main body 100 by fasteners such as bolts and clips, so as to facilitate the installation of the elastic element 300 and the sliding element 200 in the guide groove 110.

[0090] Reference Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the main body 100 is provided with at least one mounting portion 150, which is used for detachable connection with the server.

[0091] In the above embodiment, the main body 100 can be installed and fixed to the server chassis 201 by the mounting part 150.

[0092] For example, the mounting part 150 can be detachably connected to the server chassis 201 via bolt structure, snap-fit ​​structure, etc.

[0099] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the motherboard 202 is provided with multiple connectors 203, and the splitter 40 is provided with multiple connector heads 401. The multiple connectors 203 and multiple connector heads 401 are all spaced apart along a third direction. This allows for convenient insertion of multiple cards 30 along a third-direction interval.

[0100] The number of board balancing mechanisms 10 is also multiple, and the multiple board balancing mechanisms 10 are spaced apart along the third direction. The board balancing mechanisms 10, connectors 203 and connectors 401 are arranged one-to-one in the second direction.

[0101] Preferably, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0102] After each board 30 is inserted, it needs to be secured to the chassis 201 using bolts or other fasteners. When it is necessary to remove one of the boards 30 for maintenance, the fasteners between the board 30 and the chassis 201 can be unlocked directly. The board 30 will then pop out under the combined action of the elastic element 300 of the board balancing mechanism 10 and the spring structure in the connector 401, making it easy to remove the board 30 from the chassis 201. This avoids the problem of difficult disassembly due to a large number of boards 30 and limited space.

[0103] Other embodiments of this application will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of the disclosure herein. This application is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this application that follow the general principles of this application and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein. The specification and examples are to be considered exemplary only, and the true scope and spirit of this application are indicated by the following claims.

[0104] It should be understood that this application is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this application is limited only by the appended claims.
