Synchronous Server Chassis Node Extraction Mechanism
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing multi-node server chassis require separate manual handling of CPU and GPU nodes during maintenance, leading to inconvenience and potential cable damage due to simultaneous pulling.
Innovation Solution
A server chassis design featuring synchronously moving bearing seats connected by a partition plate, allowing for simultaneous extraction of CPU and GPU nodes, thereby preventing cable interference and damage.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the CPU node and GPU node are pulled out separately during maintenance, then each node can be handled independently, but cable damage may occur due to simultaneous pulling and two hands are required causing operational inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the CPU node and GPU node into a single integrated node structure, where both processing units share common connection cables and mounting mechanisms. This merging allows the node to be extracted and handled as one unit rather than separately, preventing cable damage from simultaneous pulling while reducing the need for multiple hands during maintenance operations.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the CPU node and GPU node are installed as independent structures, then each node can be individually replaced, but both hands are required for pulling them out causing operational inconvenience
Solution Approach 1:
The patent integrates CPU and GPU nodes into a unified structure that maintains functional independence for replacement purposes while providing a common extraction interface. This allows the system to preserve adaptability for individual node replacement while improving ease of operation through synchronized movement mechanisms that reduce manual handling requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces dynamic coupling mechanisms that allow the CPU and GPU nodes to move together as a single unit during extraction and installation operations. This dynamic integration enables flexible replacement scenarios while simplifying the physical handling required during maintenance, as the nodes can be manipulated as one coordinated assembly rather than separate components.

AI summary
A chassis includes a housing, a first bearing seat, a second bearing seat, and a connecting partition plate. The housing has an accommodating space. The first bearing seat is movably disposed in the accommodating space. The second bearing seat is movably disposed in the accommodating space and is adjacent to the first bearing seat. The connecting partition plate is disposed between the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat to fixedly connect the first bearing seat and the second bearing seat. The first bearing seat and the second bearing seat are adapted to synchronously move relative to the housing to be accommodated in the accommodating space or extend outside the accommodating space.
