Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If multiple modules are fixedly installed in the housing, then the server structure is stable, but the disassembly and maintenance of modules becomes complicated and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms fixed installations into slidable connections. Hash boards, control modules, and power supply modules are designed to slide in and out of the housing along guide rails or slots, converting static fixed structures into dynamic movable structures. This allows modules to be easily removed and installed without complex disassembly procedures while maintaining structural stability during operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The server is divided into independent functional modules (hash boards, control modules, power supply modules) that can be separately installed, removed, and maintained. Each module has its own accommodation space and connection interface, allowing independent access and maintenance without affecting other modules, thus simplifying the overall disassembly and assembly process.
2Device complexity
If multiple modules are fixedly installed in the housing, then the server structure is stable, but the structure becomes messy and not neatly organized
Solution Approach 1:
The patent organizes modules along the longitudinal direction of the housing, with each module type (hash boards, control modules, power supply modules) arranged in dedicated accommodation spaces. This linear dimensional arrangement creates a neat, organized structure that is easy to visualize and maintain, contrasting with messy three-dimensional cluttered layouts.
Solution Approach 2:
The housing is designed with universal accommodation spaces that can accommodate different module types while maintaining a consistent organized structure. The guide rails and connection interfaces are standardized, allowing various modules to be neatly arranged in a uniform manner that maintains both organization and structural stability.
3Device complexity
If a single power module supplies power to multiple hash boards and control modules, then the power supply system is simple, but the power supply stability becomes low and fault location becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The power supply system is segmented into multiple independent power modules, each responsible for supplying power to specific hash boards or control modules. This segmentation isolates power supply failures to individual modules, making fault location easy while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions of the server are provided with dedicated power modules according to their specific power requirements. Hash boards and control modules receive power from locally positioned power modules rather than a single centralized source, improving power supply stability through localized power delivery while keeping the system structure simple and maintainable.

AI summary
The disclosure discloses a server, which includes a housing, a plurality of hash boards, a control module, a power supply module, an electrical connection board and a heat dissipation nodule, wherein a second accommodation space is suitable for assembling a power supply module. A plurality of hash boards are slidably arranged in a first accommodation space of the housing. The control module is slidably arranged in a third accommodation space of the housing, and the power module is slidably arranged in a fourth accommodation space of the housing. The hash board, the power module, the control module and the power supply module are respectively connected with the electrical connection board. The power supply module supplies power to the hash board through the electrical connection board, and the power supply module supplies power to the control module through the electrical connection board.
