[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202423275052.8, filed with the China Patent Office on December 30, 2024, entitled "Board Structure and Server Having the Thereof", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically, to a board structure and a server having the same. Background Technology

[0004] In modern information technology equipment, especially servers, workstations, and high-end network equipment, the way circuit boards are installed and fixed inside the chassis directly affects the equipment's operational stability, maintenance convenience, and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0005] In the existing technology, the fixing of the circuit board to the inside of the chassis mainly relies on clips. The clips are usually made of plastic or metal and have a certain degree of elasticity. The clip includes a slot and a clip element. When the circuit board is inserted into the bracket, the clip element will snap into the slot, thereby fixing the circuit board. However, this fixing method has poor connection strength and durability, and it may fall off after long-term use.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0040] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this application.

[0041] In modern information technology equipment, especially servers, workstations, and high-end network equipment, the way circuit boards are installed and fixed inside the chassis directly affects the equipment's operational stability, maintenance convenience, and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] In the existing technology, the fixing of the circuit board to the inside of the chassis mainly relies on clips. The clips are usually made of plastic or metal and have a certain degree of elasticity. The clip includes a slot and a clip element. When the circuit board is inserted into the bracket, the clip element will snap into the slot, thereby fixing the circuit board. However, this fixing method has poor connection strength and durability, and it may fall off after long-term use.

[0043] Therefore, the technical objective of this application is to provide a board structure and a server having the same structure to address the above problems.

[0044] First, this application provides a board structure, which includes a board body 1 and a board bracket 2. The board body 1 is provided with a plurality of first locking holes 3; the board bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 4, which are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first locking holes 3, so that the board body 1 and the board bracket 2 are locked by inserting locking components in each of the first locking holes 3 and the corresponding second locking holes 4.

[0045] Specifically, the board structure provided in this application is shown in Figures 4 to 6. The board structure includes a board body 1 and a board bracket 2 connected to the board body 1. The board body 1 is provided with a plurality of first locking holes 3, and the board bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of second locking holes 4. The plurality of second locking holes 4 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the first locking holes 3. It also includes a locking component, which is movably inserted through the board body 1 and the board bracket 2 to cooperate with the first locking holes 3 and the second locking holes 4 corresponding to the first locking holes 3 to fix the board body 1 on the board bracket 2. The first locking holes 3 and the second locking holes 4 are both bolt holes. In this embodiment, the locking component is a bolt. The first locking holes 3 and the second locking holes 4 can be fixedly connected together by the locking component.

[0046] In this application, the board body 1 and the board bracket 2 only need to be fixedly connected by a locking component to the first locking hole 3 and the second locking hole 4, without the need for additional fasteners or complex fixing structures. This greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the board, improves maintenance efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs. The precisely matched first locking hole 3 and second locking hole 4, coupled with the tightening effect of the locking component, ensure a secure connection between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, preventing loosening caused by equipment vibration. At the same time, a stable mechanical connection is also the foundation of a good electrical connection, contributing to improved overall system performance and reliability.

[0047] In this design, the use of locking components (bolts) reduces the need for additional fixing components on the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, providing greater design freedom for the board bracket 2. This allows for the creation of more ventilation holes or the adoption of a more rational heat dissipation structure, thereby enhancing airflow within the server and improving overall heat dissipation efficiency. The use of locking components, especially their movable insertion method, greatly improves the convenience of board installation and removal. Operators do not need to find or carry specific tools; they can fix the board with just one hand. This not only improves work efficiency but also reduces operational risks caused by improper tool use.

[0048] In summary, the board structure proposed in this application, through the use of locking hole design and locking components, not only simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, but also enhances the stability of the structure and the reliability of electrical connections. At the same time, it optimizes heat dissipation performance, saves space and cost, and improves the convenience and safety of operation.

[0049] In some embodiments, the board body 1 is provided with a plurality of first clamping parts 5; the board bracket 2 is provided with a plurality of second clamping parts 6, and the plurality of first clamping parts 5 and the plurality of second clamping parts 6 are engaged in a one-to-one correspondence to position the board body 1 and the board bracket 2.

[0050] Specifically, the main body 1 of the circuit board is provided with a plurality of first clamping parts 5. In this embodiment, the first clamping part 5 is a bottle mouth. The specific structure of the bottle mouth is prior art and will not be described in detail here. The support bracket 2 of the circuit board is provided with a plurality of second clamping parts 6. The plurality of second clamping parts 6 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of first clamping parts 5. The first clamping parts 5 and the second clamping parts 6 can be engaged in a corresponding manner to position the main body 1 of the circuit board and the support bracket 2. Then, the first locking hole 3 and the second locking hole 4 are used to connect the main body 1 of the circuit board and the support bracket 2 together. The shape of the second clamping part 6 is adapted to the first clamping part 5.

[0051] The engaging engagement of the first clamping part 5 and the second clamping part 6 of the bottle neck structure allows for rapid positioning between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, ensuring precise alignment during installation. This simplifies the installation process and improves work efficiency. Through the initial positioning by the first clamping part 5 and the second clamping part 6, and the subsequent tightening of the locking components, a stable mechanical connection is formed between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2. Even under vibration or external forces generated during equipment operation, the board remains stable, preventing electrical contact problems caused by loosening and improving the system's reliability and stability.

[0052] The first clamping part 5 is shaped like a bottle neck. Compared to traditional screw-based fixing, this reduces the number of fixing points, saving space for the main body 1 and the bracket 2, lowering production costs, reducing maintenance time, and improving the overall economic efficiency of the equipment. The bottle neck design allows operators to easily position the main body 1 and bracket 2 without tools, facilitating subsequent locking operations, improving installation and disassembly convenience, and reducing operational difficulty. The bottle neck is a clamping structure resembling a narrow bottle opening and a wider bottle body, widely used in existing technologies, especially in applications requiring rapid positioning and fixing. Its shape allows for easy alignment through the narrow opening when inserting the card; once inserted, the wider bottle body engages with the appropriate shape of the second clamping part 6, achieving a stable positioning effect.

[0053] The second locking part 6 is designed to match the bottle neck, typically including an opening and a slot that fits the bottle neck and body. When the bottle neck is inserted into the second locking part 6, the opening engages first, followed by the bottle body portion of the bottle neck locking into the slot of the second locking part 6, forming a locking fit and ensuring the initial positioning of the plate. This locking fit, combined with the fixing effect of subsequent locking components, not only ensures the stability of the plate but also simplifies the installation process and improves the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0054] In some embodiments, a row of first locking holes 3 is provided at both ends of the extension direction of the board body 1, and a plurality of first locking parts 5 are provided between the two rows of first locking holes 3.

[0055] Specifically, a first row of first locking holes 3 are respectively provided at both ends of the board body 1 along its extension direction, and a plurality of first locking parts 5 are provided between the two rows of first locking holes 3. Each row of first locking holes 3 includes a plurality of first locking holes 3 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the board body 1.

[0056] In this application, the first row of first locking holes 3 located at both ends of the board body 1 cooperates with the second locking holes 4 on the board bracket 2 to ensure the longitudinal positioning of the board body 1 during installation. The first clamping part 5 located between the two rows of first locking holes 3 engages with the second clamping part 6 on the board bracket 2, further enhancing the positioning of the board body 1 in the width direction. This ensures precise alignment and stable connection between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, effectively preventing loosening caused by vibration during equipment operation.

[0057] The cooperative use of the first clamping part 5 and the second clamping part 6, along with the fixed connection of the first locking hole 3 and the second locking hole 4, simplifies the installation and disassembly steps of the board body 1 and the board bracket 2. Operators can quickly achieve initial positioning of the board body 1 and the board bracket 2 through the snap-fit ​​of the first clamping part 5, and then complete the final fixation through the locking components. This eliminates the need for complex tools and procedures, significantly improving maintenance efficiency and convenience. The streamlined locking hole layout design—with the first row of first locking holes 3 at both ends of the board body 1 and the first clamping part 5 used for auxiliary positioning in the middle—not only reduces the number of fixing components used and saves space for the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, but also lowers manufacturing and maintenance costs, improving the economy of the equipment and the flexibility of its spatial layout.

[0058] In summary, the board structure proposed in this application, by setting first row of first locking holes 3 at both ends of the board body 1 and using the snap-fit ​​of first locking part 5 and second locking part 6 between the two rows of first locking holes 3, not only simplifies the installation and disassembly process between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2 and improves the accuracy and stability of positioning, but also optimizes space utilization, cost-effectiveness, heat dissipation performance and equipment maintainability and scalability.

[0059] In some embodiments, the board body 1 includes multiple rows of first locking holes 3 and multiple rows of first clamping parts 5, with the multiple rows of first locking holes 3 and multiple rows of first clamping parts 5 alternately arranged along the extension direction of the board body 1.

[0060] In some embodiments, the two ends of the board body 1 along its extension direction are respectively provided with a row of first locking holes 3 and a row of first locking parts 5.

[0061] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, this application also includes multiple rows of first locking holes 3 and multiple rows of first clamping parts 5 disposed on the board body 1. Each row of first locking holes 3 includes multiple first locking holes 3 arranged along the width direction of the board body 1, and each row of first clamping parts 5 includes multiple first clamping parts 5 arranged along the width direction of the board body 1. Each row of first locking holes 3 and each row of first clamping parts 5 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the board body 1. In this embodiment, as shown in Figure 2, a row of first locking holes 3 is provided at one right end of the board body 1, and a row of first clamping parts 5 is provided at one left end of the board body 1.

[0062] The bottle-neck design of the first clamping part 5 allows for quick engagement with the second clamping part 6 of the board bracket 2, enabling rapid positioning of the board body 1 in the width direction. The first locking hole 3 and the second locking hole 4 are secured by locking components, ensuring precise alignment of the board body 1 in the length direction, thus improving the accuracy and speed of installation between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2. The first locking hole 3 and the first clamping part 5, arranged along the width direction of the board body 1 and alternately positioned along its extension direction, effectively disperse stress, enhance the structural rigidity of the board body 1 in both width and length directions, improve the overall stability of the board body 1, and reduce the risk of damage to the board body 1 due to vibration or thermal stress during equipment operation. By providing the first locking hole 3 and the first clamping part 5 at both ends of the board body 1, the installation sequence is simplified. The operator can first perform quick positioning using the first clamping part 5, and then align and fix the locking holes, thereby reducing installation complexity. The alternating arrangement of the first locking hole 3 and the first clamping part 5 reduces the number of fixing points, lowers manufacturing costs, and also provides a more optimized space layout for other components on the board body 1 (such as hard disk connectors, signal connectors, etc.), enhancing the hardware compatibility and expandability of the board.

[0063] In some embodiments, each row of first locking holes 3 includes a plurality of first locking holes 3 spaced apart along the width direction of the board body 1; each row of first clamping parts 5 includes a plurality of first clamping parts 5 spaced apart along the width direction of the board body 1.

[0064] Specifically, each row of first locking holes 3 includes a plurality of first locking holes 3 spaced apart along the width direction of the board body 1, and each row of first clamping parts 5 includes a plurality of first clamping parts 5 spaced apart along the width direction of the board body 1.

[0065] The first locking holes 3 and the first clamping parts 5, which are spaced apart along the width direction, can ensure the structural balance of the board body 1 in the width, effectively disperse the stress during installation, avoid the deformation or damage of the board body 1 caused by stress concentration, and enhance the mechanical strength and durability of the board body 1.

[0066] The spaced arrangement of the first clamping parts 5 allows for rapid snap-fit ​​positioning during the initial installation phase, while the distribution of the first locking holes 3 ensures the accuracy and stability of the board body 1 during final fixation. This combination of designs improves the accuracy of positioning between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, as well as the stability after fixation, and reduces the impact of vibrations during equipment operation on the board body 1 and the board bracket 2.

[0067] The spacing between the first locking hole 3 and the first clamping part 5 simplifies the installation and disassembly steps between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2. The operator can first achieve quick positioning through the first clamping part 5, and then use locking components (such as bolts) to fix it, which reduces the difficulty of operation and the time required, and improves maintenance efficiency.

[0068] In some embodiments, the board bracket 2 includes a motherboard body and a first bent edge 201 disposed on one side of the motherboard body in the width direction. The first bent edge 201 is provided with multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 to fix the board bracket 2 to the structure 10 to be installed through the first positioning parts 202.

[0069] Specifically, as shown in Figures 2, 3, 4 and 5, the board bracket 2 includes a main board body, which is rectangular in shape in this embodiment. A first bent edge 201 is provided on one side of the main board body in the width direction. The plane where the first bent edge 201 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the main board body is located. The first bent edge 201 is used to connect with the structure 10 to be installed. The lower surface of the first bent edge 201 is used to contact the upper surface of the structure 10 to be installed. Multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 are provided on the first bent edge 201 to fix the board bracket 2 to the structure 10 to be installed through the multiple sets of first positioning parts 202.

[0070] The first bent edge 201 contacts the surface of the structure 10 to be installed, providing additional support and stability, ensuring the vertical alignment of the board bracket 2 during installation, and reducing the risk of loosening or damage to the board bracket 2 due to installation errors or equipment vibration. The multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 allow the board bracket 2 to be fixed at multiple points, enhancing the connection stability between the board bracket 2 and the structure 10 to be installed, and improving the overall reliability and stability of the system. The first bent edge 201, as a contact surface, directly contacts the upper surface of the structure 10 to be installed, simplifying the initial positioning process without the need for additional positioning tools or complex alignment steps. Simultaneously, the use of multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 allows for rapid fixing operations, reducing installation time and improving production and maintenance efficiency.

[0071] The vertical connection design between the motherboard body and the first bent edge 201 enhances the structural strength of the board bracket 2, reduces deformation under lateral or longitudinal forces, and protects the components on the board body 1 from damage. The even distribution of multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 also improves the overall deformation resistance of the board bracket 2 and extends its service life.

[0072] The structure of the first bent edge 201 and multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 facilitates positioning and fixing using automated assembly equipment, reducing reliance on manual operation and improving assembly accuracy. Simultaneously, this design of the board bracket 2 makes disassembly and maintenance more convenient. By providing multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 on the first bent edge 201, the board bracket 2 can adapt to different sizes or shapes of the structures 10 to be installed, improving equipment compatibility.

[0073] In some embodiments, each group of first positioning portions 202 includes a third locking hole 203 and a first positioning protrusion 204 arranged along the extending direction of the first bent edge 201;

[0074] The structure to be installed 10 is provided with a fourth locking hole that cooperates with the third locking hole 203, and a first positioning groove that cooperates with the first positioning protrusion 204.

[0075] Specifically, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG4, each group of first positioning parts 202 includes a third locking hole 203 and a first positioning protrusion 204 arranged along the extension direction of the first bent edge 201. The first positioning protrusion 204 protrudes towards the direction close to the main body. A fourth locking hole is provided on the structure to be installed at a position corresponding to the third locking hole 203, and a first positioning groove is provided to cooperate with the first positioning protrusion 204.

[0076] The first positioning protrusion 204 engages with the first positioning groove on the structure to be installed 10, providing precise positioning during the initial installation phase and ensuring accurate alignment of the board bracket 2 and the structure to be installed 10 in the width direction. Furthermore, the third locking hole 203 is connected to the fourth locking hole on the structure to be installed 10 via a locking component, further enhancing the robust connection between the board bracket 2 and the structure to be installed 10 and improving the overall structural stability.

[0077] The design of the first positioning protrusion 204 allows the board bracket 2 to evenly distribute stress during installation, avoiding stress concentration at a single point and reducing the possibility of deformation when subjected to external forces, thus protecting sensitive components on the board body 1 from damage. The quick alignment mechanism of the first positioning protrusion 204 and the first positioning groove simplifies the installation process of the board bracket 2, allowing operators to quickly position the bracket correctly. Simultaneously, the use of locking holes makes fixing and disassembly more convenient, reducing time costs during maintenance and upgrades. By providing multiple sets of first positioning parts 202 containing third locking holes 203 and first positioning protrusions 204 on the first bent edge 201, the number and position of the positioning parts can be flexibly adjusted while maintaining structural stability to adapt to different sizes or shapes of the structures 10 to be installed, enhancing the compatibility of the board bracket 2. This design reduces the manufacturing cost of the board bracket 2 by reducing the complexity of the fixing structure. At the same time, the simplified design and rapid positioning capability of the first positioning part 202 reduce the manpower and tools required for installation and disassembly, further reducing equipment maintenance costs and improving cost-effectiveness.

[0078] In some embodiments, each group of first positioning parts 202 includes a plurality of fourth locking holes 8 arranged along the extension direction of the first bent edge 201, so as to fix the board bracket 2 to the structure 10 to be installed by fixing components passing through each fourth locking hole 8.

[0079] Specifically, as shown in Figure 2, each group of first positioning parts 202 includes a plurality of fourth locking holes 8 arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the first bent edge 201. In this embodiment, the plurality of fourth locking holes 8 are bolt holes. It also includes a plurality of fixing components used in conjunction with the plurality of fourth locking holes 8. In this embodiment, the plurality of fixing components are fixing bolts. By inserting the fixing components into the fourth locking holes 8, the board bracket 2 can be fixed on the structure 10 to be installed through the fixing components and the fourth locking holes 8.

[0080] The multiple spaced fourth locking holes 8, in conjunction with the fixing bolts, ensure precise alignment and secure fixation of the board bracket 2 on the structure 10 to be installed. This multi-point positioning and fixing method improves the overall structure's vibration and impact resistance. By spaced out the multiple fourth locking holes 8 on the first bent edge 201, the board bracket 2 can distribute stress more evenly during installation, avoiding deformation or damage caused by stress concentration, and ensuring the long-term stability and reliability of the board bracket 2. The combination of spaced fourth locking holes 8 and fixing bolts simplifies the installation and disassembly steps of the board bracket 2. Operators can quickly position and easily fix the board bracket 2 with bolts, reducing installation complexity and improving maintenance efficiency and equipment maintainability. The fixing method between the first bent edge 201 and the structure 10 to be installed leaves sufficient space, which is conducive to air circulation and heat dissipation. This design helps improve the heat dissipation effect of the board body 1 and reduces the risk of system performance degradation or damage due to overheating. By adjusting the number and position of the fourth locking holes 8, designers can optimize the layout of the board bracket 2 while ensuring structural stability, thus improving its compatibility with different installation structures 10. The combined use of the fixing bolts and the fourth locking holes 8 allows the board bracket 2 to be easily disassembled and reinstalled, facilitating hardware upgrades or expansions of the equipment.

[0081] In some embodiments, along the extension direction of the board body 1, the first positioning protrusion 204 in the first group of first positioning parts 202 is arranged adjacent to the first positioning protrusion 204 in the second group of first positioning parts 202, and the third locking hole 203 in the second group of first positioning parts 202 is arranged adjacent to the third locking hole 203 in the third group of first positioning parts 202.

[0082] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, from left to right along the extension direction of the board body 1, the third locking hole 203 in the first positioning part 202 of the first group is located at the end, the first positioning protrusion 204 in the first positioning part 202 of the first group is located to the right of the third locking hole 203 in the first positioning part 202 of the first group, the first positioning protrusion 204 in the second group of the first positioning part 202 is arranged adjacent to the third locking hole 203 in the third group of the first positioning part 202, and so on.

[0083] The alternating arrangement of the first positioning protrusion 204 and the third locking hole 203 achieves a uniform distribution of fixing points on the board bracket 2, which helps to improve the structural strength of the board bracket 2, disperses the stress caused by external forces or equipment vibration, reduces the risk of deformation of the board bracket 2 during installation, and ensures the safety and stability of the board body 1.

[0084] The alternating arrangement of the third locking hole 203 and the first positioning protrusion 204 simplifies the installation process of the board bracket 2. The operator can first use the first positioning protrusion 204 for pre-positioning, and then quickly fix it using locking components (such as screws), reducing operational difficulty and time required, and improving production and maintenance efficiency. This alternating arrangement provides more space between the board body 1 and the board bracket 2, facilitating airflow and optimizing the heat dissipation path. Simultaneously, this design also allows for targeted heat dissipation optimization of other parts of the board bracket 2, such as adding heat dissipation holes or improving the structural design. The alternating arrangement of the third locking hole 203 and the first positioning protrusion 204 enables the board bracket 2 to be compatible with various sizes and shapes of the installation structure 10, enhancing design flexibility. This design also facilitates subsequent hardware upgrades or expansions, allowing operators to easily perform maintenance and upgrades without changing the overall layout. The alternating arrangement of the first positioning part 202 reduces the need for complex positioning tools, lowering installation costs. Meanwhile, the use of standardized locking holes and positioning protrusions reduces manufacturing and maintenance costs and improves the economic efficiency of mass production.

[0085] In some embodiments, the first bent edge 201 is further provided with a plurality of second positioning protrusions 9 distributed along its length direction, and the plurality of second positioning protrusions 9 and the plurality of fourth locking holes 8 are arranged alternately along the extension direction of the first bent edge 201.

[0086] Specifically, as shown in Figure 3, a plurality of second positioning protrusions 9 are provided on the first bent edge 201. The plurality of second positioning protrusions 9 and the plurality of fourth locking holes 8 are alternately arranged along the extension direction of the first bent edge 201. The plurality of second positioning protrusions 9 protrude downward in Figure 3.

[0087] The second positioning protrusion 9 engages with the positioning groove on the structure 10 to be installed, providing more precise installation positioning and ensuring accurate alignment of the board bracket 2 during installation, thus avoiding installation errors. Simultaneously, the fixing bolts that mate with the fourth locking hole 8 further enhance the stability of the board bracket 2. This combination of positioning and fixing mechanisms improves the overall reliability and stability of the installation. The alternating arrangement of the second positioning protrusion 9 and the fourth locking hole 8 helps to distribute the stress generated during installation more evenly, effectively reducing structural deformation or damage caused by stress concentration, and ensuring the long-term stability and durability of the board bracket 2. The pre-positioning function of the second positioning protrusion 9 simplifies the initial alignment steps, allowing the operator to quickly position the board bracket 2 correctly. Subsequently, by inserting the fixing bolts into the fourth locking hole 8 for fixation, the entire installation process becomes smoother and more efficient, reducing the time and labor costs required for assembly. The alternating layout of the second positioning protrusion 9 and the fourth locking hole 8 allows the board bracket 2 to adapt to different sizes and shapes of the structure 10 to be installed, improving design flexibility and compatibility. By reducing the need for additional positioning components, this design lowers production costs without compromising positioning accuracy. Simultaneously, the quick-installation features of the second positioning protrusion 9 and the fourth locking hole 8 simplify maintenance and upgrade processes, reduce maintenance costs, and improve the long-term economic benefits and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0088] In some embodiments, the board bracket 2 further includes a second bent edge 211 located on the side away from the first bent edge 201 in the width direction of the motherboard body. The second bent edge 211 and the first bent edge 201 are located on opposite sides of the motherboard body. The second bent edge 211 is provided with a plurality of fifth locking holes 208. The plurality of fifth locking holes 208 are arranged along the extension direction of the second bent edge 211 so as to install the board bracket 2 on the structure 10 to be installed by means of connecting components passing through the plurality of fifth locking holes 208.

[0089] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, the board bracket 2 further includes a second bent edge 211 located on the side of the motherboard body away from the first bent edge 201 in the width direction. The first bent edge 201 and the second bent edge 211 are located on opposite sides of the motherboard body, that is, the first bent edge 201 and the second bent edge 211 have opposite orientations. The bending direction of the first bent edge 201 is towards the structure to be installed 10, and the bending direction of the second bent edge 211 is away from the structure to be installed 10. The second bent edge 211 is used to connect to the side of the structure to be installed 10 that is relatively close to the bottom. The second bent edge 211 is provided with... The system includes multiple fifth locking holes 208 arranged along the extension direction of the second bent edge 211, and also includes connecting components that cooperate with the multiple fifth locking holes 208. In this embodiment, the connecting components are connecting bolts. By inserting the connecting components into the positions corresponding to the fifth locking holes 208 and the structure 10 to be installed, the board bracket 2 can be fixed to the structure 10 to be installed. By fixing the first bent edge 201 and the second bent edge 211 to the structure 10 to be installed simultaneously, the stability of the connection between the board bracket 2 and the structure 10 to be installed can be ensured.

[0090] The bidirectional fixing design of the first bending edge 201 and the second bending edge 211 ensures a stable connection between the board bracket 2 and the structure to be installed 10. Even if the equipment is subjected to vibration or external force, the board bracket 2 can remain stable, preventing the hardware from loosening or shifting, thus improving the overall reliability and stability of the system.

[0091] By setting bent edges on both sides of the motherboard and using locking holes for fixation, the stress generated during installation and use can be distributed more evenly, effectively avoiding the deformation of the board bracket 2 caused by stress concentration, protecting the board from damage, and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0092] The fifth locking hole 208 on the second bent edge 211 is fixed with the corresponding hole on the structure to be installed 10 using connecting bolts, which simplifies the installation process of the board bracket 2. The operator can quickly complete the positioning and installation of the board bracket 2, and it is also easy to disassemble and maintain, thus improving production and maintenance efficiency.

[0093] This design of the board bracket 2 allows for effective connection to the mounting structure 10 of different sizes and shapes, improving compatibility. Meanwhile, the locking holes on the second bent edge 211 facilitate subsequent hardware upgrades or expansions, ensuring the long-term maintainability and upgradeability of the device.

[0094] By reducing the need for additional fixing components, this design reduces production costs while ensuring reliable connections. Meanwhile, the quick-installation feature of the fifth locking hole 208 on the second bent edge 211 and the connecting bolts simplifies maintenance and upgrade processes, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the long-term economic benefits and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0095] In some embodiments, the second bent edge 211 is also provided with a plurality of third positioning protrusions 209; the structure to be installed 10 is provided with a plurality of second positioning grooves, and the plurality of second positioning grooves are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of third positioning protrusions 209, so as to fix the board bracket 2 on the structure to be installed 10 through the plurality of second positioning grooves and the plurality of third positioning protrusions 209.

[0096] Specifically, the second bent edge 211 is also provided with a plurality of third positioning protrusions 209, and the structure to be installed 10 is provided with a plurality of second positioning grooves. The plurality of second positioning grooves and the plurality of third positioning protrusions 209 are configured to correspond one-to-one and be adapted to each other, so that the board bracket 2 can be fixed on the structure to be installed 10 by the cooperation of the plurality of second grooves and the corresponding third positioning protrusions 209.

[0097] The third positioning protrusion 209, in conjunction with the positioning groove on the structure to be installed 10, ensures precise alignment of the board bracket 2 in the width direction, improving the accuracy and stability of the installation. Combined with the fifth locking hole 208 and the connecting bolts, the multiple fixing mechanisms provide a more stable installation environment for the board, reducing signal interference and performance loss caused by positional misalignment or structural loosening.

[0098] The cooperation between the third positioning protrusion 209 and the second positioning groove helps to disperse the stress borne by the plate bracket 2 during the fixing process, avoids potential damage to the bracket or the structure to be installed 10 caused by stress concentration, and enhances the strength and durability of the overall structure.

[0099] The pre-positioning function of the third positioning protrusion 209 simplifies the initial installation steps of the board bracket 2, allowing the operator to quickly position the bracket in the correct location. Subsequently, combined with the fixing of the fifth locking hole 208, a quick and stable installation is achieved, which also facilitates disassembly and improves the efficiency of maintenance and upgrades.

[0100] In some embodiments, the first locking hole 3 is a bolt hole; and / or, the first locking part 5 is an I-shaped hole.

[0101] Specifically, the first locking hole 3 mentioned above is a bolt hole, and the first clamping part 5 is an I-shaped hole; the use of the I-shaped hole and the bolt hole simplifies the installation process of the board bracket 2. The special shape of the I-shaped hole provides a pre-positioning function, allowing the operator to quickly align it, and then achieve a stable fixation by tightening the bolts. It also facilitates disassembly and maintenance, improving production and maintenance efficiency.

[0102] The use of I-shaped holes allows the board bracket 2 to adapt to different sizes and shapes of the installation structure 10, improving compatibility. At the same time, this design facilitates subsequent hardware upgrades or expansions, ensuring the long-term maintainability and upgradeability of the equipment.

[0103] By employing standardized bolts and I-beam holes, this design ensures reliable connections while reducing production costs. The quick-installation capability of the I-beam holes simplifies maintenance and upgrade processes, reduces maintenance costs, and improves the long-term economic benefits and ease of maintenance of the equipment.

[0104] This application also provides a server, which includes a server chassis and a board structure disposed on one side of the server chassis, the board structure being the board structure described above; wherein, the server chassis is the structure to be installed 10.

[0105] In some implementations, the server chassis is provided with a plurality of spaced-apart first ventilation holes 601.

[0106] In some embodiments, the area of ​​the heat dissipation zone formed by all the first heat dissipation holes 601 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 7 of the upper surface of the structure to be installed 10;

[0107] The airflow area of ​​each first heat dissipation hole 601 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of the heat dissipation area.

[0108] This application also provides a server, which includes a server chassis and a board structure disposed on one side of the server chassis. The board structure is the board structure described above. In this embodiment, the server chassis is the structure to be installed 10, as shown in Figures 1 and 6. The server chassis is provided with a plurality of first heat dissipation holes 601. The plurality of first heat dissipation holes 601 are in the shape of strip holes. The heat dissipation area formed by all the first heat dissipation holes 601 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 7 of the upper surface of the structure to be installed 10. The heat dissipation area is the sum of the areas where the plurality of first heat dissipation holes 601 are located from left to right in Figure 6 (this area is a strip area extending from left to right). The airflow area of ​​each first heat dissipation hole 601 is 1 / 3 of the heat dissipation area.

[0109] The total area of ​​the heat dissipation zone formed by the multiple first heat dissipation holes 601 occupies 1 / 10 to 1 / 7 of the upper surface of the structure to be installed 10, which greatly increases the airflow area and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the server. The airflow area of ​​a single first heat dissipation hole 601 is 1 / 10 to 1 / 3 of the heat dissipation area, ensuring that the air can flow fully when passing through the heat dissipation zone, effectively removing the heat generated during equipment operation and reducing the risk of overheating.

[0110] By increasing the number and area of ​​the first heat dissipation holes 601, this design can manage heat more effectively, avoiding performance degradation and equipment failure caused by overheating of hardware components such as processors and memory, thereby extending the overall service life of the server.

[0111] Compared to traditional round or square vents, the strip-shaped vent design creates a more continuous airflow channel, reducing airflow resistance as it passes through the vents. This means that a lower-speed fan can be used to achieve the same cooling effect, thereby reducing operating noise and providing a quieter operating environment.

[0112] The layout of the strip-shaped ventilation holes extends along the width of the server chassis, providing a universal heat dissipation solution for boards of different sizes and locations within the server. This design not only enhances server compatibility but also facilitates future hardware upgrades and expansions.

[0113] The width-length extension of the strip-shaped ventilation holes reduces the depth of individual holes, saving space inside the server chassis. This allows for the addition of more hardware components or optimization of the internal structural layout, contributing to improved server integration and performance.

[0114] Effective thermal management not only prevents equipment from overheating, but also maintains the normal operating temperature of the internal components of the server, avoiding electrical performance degradation and malfunctions caused by excessive temperature, thereby enhancing the server's safety and reliability.

[0115] In addition, as shown in Figures 1 and 3, the components on the board body 1 are provided with plug holes that extend along the plane perpendicular to the motherboard body, which makes it convenient for the connector 7 to be inserted and pulled out along the direction perpendicular to the motherboard body; as shown in Figure 5, the extension direction of the plug hole is the length direction of the motherboard body, and the connector 7 is parallel to the length direction of the motherboard body during the insertion and removal process.

[0116] The vertical extension design of the connector hole allows the connector 7 to be plugged in and unplugged directly perpendicular to the motherboard, avoiding the space limitations that may be encountered when plugging in and unplugging parallel to the board surface in the traditional method. This design simplifies the plugging and unplugging operation, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves the efficiency of hardware component installation and removal.

[0117] The vertical insertion method reduces potential contact problems or signal interference between the connector 7 and the socket caused by parallel insertion and removal. Vertical alignment before insertion ensures tight contact between the connector 7 and the component, enhances signal transmission stability, and reduces data transmission error rate.

[0118] The insertion and removal direction of connector 7 is parallel to the length direction of the motherboard. This design makes full use of the length space inside the server chassis, avoids the extra width required for horizontal insertion and removal, helps to optimize the internal structural layout of the server, saves valuable internal space, and improves the compactness and integration of the server.

[0119] The vertical insertion port design reduces interference between the connector 7 and other hardware components during insertion and removal, lowering the risk of hardware damage due to misoperation. This improvement reduces the need for hardware replacement during maintenance, thus lowering equipment maintenance costs.

[0120] The vertical connector design provides a standardized interface for different types of components, enhancing the compatibility of the board body 1 with various connectors 7. At the same time, this design also facilitates subsequent upgrades and expansions of the server hardware, improving system flexibility and maintainability.
