Description
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to the field of server technologies, and in particular, to a server and a server system.
Background
Server hosts with a large number and a large volume are often required to be installed in a machine room of a data center. In the prior art, a cabinet is generally used as a main carrier for carrying server hardware, and the cabinet is generally composed of an external frame, which is mainly made of iron parts and thus has a large weight. However, most data centers have upper limit requirements for ground load bearing, so that the number of installed servers is limited to a certain extent.
In addition, the external frame is also huge in size, occupies a large amount of space in the machine room, so that managers in the machine room cannot reasonably arrange a large number of servers, and the installation number of the servers is further limited. Moreover, both standard and newer complete cabinets suffer from the above problems.
The approaches described in this section are not necessarily approaches that have been previously conceived or pursued. Unless otherwise indicated, it should not be assumed that any of the approaches described in this section qualify as prior art merely by virtue of their inclusion in this section. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated, the problems mentioned in this section should not be considered as having been acknowledged in any prior art.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the server 100 mainly includes: a housing 110, a server body 120, and at least one server power supply part 130. The housing 110 may have a hollow structure in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, a cube, a trapezoid, or the like. In the present embodiment, in order to fit the shape of the server main body 120, the housing 110 is preferably a rectangular parallelepiped of a flat shape. For convenience of the following description, the X direction (or the front-rear direction of the housing 110) in fig. 1 is defined as a first direction, the Y direction (or the left-right direction of the housing 110) in fig. 1 is defined as a third direction, and the Z direction (or the up-down direction of the housing 110) in fig. 1 is defined as a second direction. The housing 110 has a first side surface (or a front side surface), a second side surface 112 (or a rear side surface) in the first direction, a third side surface 113 (or a top surface), a fourth side surface (or a bottom surface) in the second direction, and a fifth side surface (or a left side surface), a sixth side surface 114 (or a right side surface) in the third direction (the hidden side surfaces are not numbered in the drawing). The first side surface of the housing 110 is provided with an opening 111, and the opening 111 may be rectangular, and the size thereof may be equal to the size of the first side surface (i.e., the first side surface is completely open), or may be smaller than the size of the first side surface. The opening 111 allows the server main body 120 to enter or exit the casing 110.
The server body 120 is a hardware part of the server 100, and the external shape thereof is approximately a flat rectangular parallelepiped structure. When the server 100 is operated, the server body 120 is accommodated inside the casing 110. The server body 120 can move in both directions in a first direction (a front-back direction of the casing 110) to enter or exit the casing 110. At least one power interface 121 is further disposed on the rear end surface of the server body 120, and the power interface 121 is used for connecting with an external power supply to supply power to the server body 120. In this embodiment, the number of the power interface units 121 is two, and they are respectively disposed at positions close to the left and right edges of the server body 120 on the rear end surface of the server body 120. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the power interface units 121 may be greater than two, and may be located at other positions on the rear end surface of the server body 120.
Each of the server power supply parts 130 is provided inside the casing 110, and is adapted to interface with the power supply interface part 121 described above, for connecting the server main body 120 with an external power supply. The number and the position of the server power supply units 130 may be matched to the power interface units 121, and for example, when the number of the power interface units 121 is two, the number of the server power supply units 130 may be two. As shown in fig. 1, specifically, the server power supply part 130 includes three connection terminals, which are a first connection terminal 131 disposed toward the power supply interface part 121, and a second connection terminal 132 and a third connection terminal 133 in the second direction, respectively. That is, the first connection end 131 is disposed toward the front side of the housing 110, the second connection end 132 is disposed toward the upper side of the housing 110, and the third connection end 133 is disposed toward the lower side of the housing 110. The first connection end 131 is engaged with the corresponding power interface part 121 when the server body 120 moves to a preset position toward the inside of the casing 110. The predetermined position may be a predetermined depth reaching the inside of the casing 110, at which the power interface part 121 and the first connection terminal 131 of the corresponding server power supply part 130 are engaged, and the server body 120 enters a power-on state. The preset position may be set according to the size of the server body 120 and the size of the housing 110. In addition, the shape of the power interface part 121 is adapted to the shape of the corresponding first connection end 131, for example, the power interface part 121 may be configured as a bump, and correspondingly, the first connection end 131 is configured as a recess, so that when the server body 120 reaches the preset position, the power interface part 121 may be inserted into the first connection end 131 to achieve the engagement therebetween.
The second connection end 132 and the third connection end 133 are used for connecting other electronic devices, for example, the second connection end 132 and the third connection end 133 can be connected to another server 100, so as to form a server system 1 with a multi-layer structure, and such a server system 1 will be described in detail later. In addition, the second connection 132 and the third connection 133 may also be connected to an external power source or other host or computer device that needs to be used with the server 100. In the present embodiment, the second connection end 132 is a protrusion protruding from the surface of the housing 110 along the second direction; the third connection end 133 is a groove recessed into the surface of the housing 110 along the second direction. The shapes of the above-described protrusions and grooves are adapted so that, in the case where a plurality of servers 100 are stacked, the protrusions of the server power supply portions 130 of the servers 100 of the next layer can be inserted into the grooves of the server power supply portions 130 of the servers 100 of the previous layer. Set up two link as the protruding and recess of complex, increased the structural stability of multilayer server system when a plurality of servers superpose, can effectively prevent upper server 100 landing. In this embodiment, the server power supply unit 130 may be a power supply busbar. The power supply busbar is a connecting copper bar or aluminum bar of a main switch in a circuit and a switch in each shunt circuit in a power supply system.

In order to facilitate the engagement of the first connection terminal 131 with the power interface part 121, each of the server power supply parts 130 is fixedly provided on a side inner wall of the casing 110. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the at least one server power supply part 130 includes server power supply parts 130 respectively provided on both side surfaces of the housing 110 in the third direction. That is, the first server power supply part 130 is disposed inside the fifth side surface of the case 110, the second server power supply part 130 is disposed inside the sixth side surface 114, and the positions of the two server power supply parts 130 are symmetrical to each other. It is understood that the server power supply part 130 is a device having a certain thickness, and thus the server power supply part 130 has a certain protrusion toward the inner space of the housing 110 with respect to the side of the housing 110 where it is located. As described above, the first connection end 131 may be a recess provided on the above-described protruding portion, while the power interface part 121 may be a projection provided on the rear end face of the server main body 120. The protrusions and the recesses are provided with corresponding connection circuits, and when the protrusions are inserted into the recesses, the circuits are automatically connected, and the server main body 120 and the server power supply unit 130 are mechanically and electrically connected.

Two side surfaces of the air duct shell in the second direction are both open; a fan 142 is disposed on the second side 112 and is configured to convey air from inside the air duct enclosure to inside the housing 110.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1, the air channel portion 140 is disposed on a side away from the opening 111, and the air channel portion 140 may have a rectangular parallelepiped, a square trapezoid, or the like. In the present embodiment, the air channel portion 140 is a rectangular parallelepiped, and in order to make the server 100 complete and uniform in structure, the cross section of the air channel portion 140 in the Y-Z plane is the same as the cross section of the housing 110 in the same plane, so that the air channel portion 140 and the housing 110 form a complete rectangular parallelepiped structure. The air channel portion 140 includes: a first air duct wall 141 and a second air duct wall in the Y direction, and a third air duct wall in the X direction (the shielded air duct walls are not numbered in the figure). The air channel portion 140 shares the second side 112 of the housing 110 with the housing 110, and both sides of the air channel portion 140 in the Z direction (i.e., the up-down direction) are open to form a passage that allows air to circulate in the second direction. At least one fan 142 is also disposed on the second side 112 of the housing 110 for delivering air from the interior of the duct enclosure to the interior of the housing 110. As shown in fig. 1, the fans 142 may be 3 in number and arranged side by side in the Y direction. The fan 142 may be an axial fan 142, a cross flow fan 142, or other possible forms of fan 142 and combinations thereof. The motor of the fan 142 may have a wire connected to the server power supply part 130 and be connected to an external power source through the server power supply part 130.
This structure in which both sides of the air duct portion 140 in the second direction are open allows the plurality of air duct portions 140 to be joined to each other in the case where the plurality of servers 100 are stacked in the second direction, thereby forming one complete air supply duct extending in the second direction.

That is, two guide rails 115 extending in the X direction are respectively provided on the inner walls of the fifth and sixth sides 114 of the casing 110, and guide bars 122 are provided at corresponding positions of the server body 120. In other embodiments of the present invention, the number of the guide rails 115 and the guide bars 122 may also be greater than 2, for example, 4 (i.e., two parallel guide rails 115 are disposed on each side). The server 100 of the present embodiment implements the sliding motion of the server main body 120 by providing the guide rails 115 and the guide bars 122 on the housing 110 and the server main body 120, respectively, thereby facilitating the installation and removal of the server main body 120 by workers. It is understood that although the server main body 120 is implemented to slide through the guide rail 115 in the present embodiment, in other embodiments of the present invention, the server main body 120 may also move through other manners, such as installing pulleys at the bottom of the server main body 120, through which the server main body 120 moves.

In the present embodiment, the power supply unit 200 and at least one server 100 are stacked together in the second direction to form a multi-layer structure, and the power supply unit 200 is located at any layer of the multi-layer structure, that is, the power supply unit 200 may also participate in stacking a plurality of servers 100 as a single layer. Although it is shown in fig. 2 and 3 that the power supply unit 200 is placed at the last layer of the server system 1, it is understood that the power supply unit 200 may be placed at any layer of the multi-layer structure, for example, at the top layer of the multi-layer structure or at a certain layer in the middle, by the relevant circuit adjustment.
In the stacking process, if the power supply unit 200 is located at a certain level in the middle of the server system 1, the second connection terminal 232 of the power supply unit power supply part 230 of the power supply unit 200 is connected to the third connection terminal 133 of the server power supply part 130 of the server 100 at the upper level and the third connection terminal 233 of the power supply unit power supply part 230 of the power supply unit 200 is connected to the second connection terminal 132 of the server power supply part 130 of the server 100 at the lower level. If the power unit 200 is located at the top layer of the server system 1, only the third connection terminal 233 of the power unit power supply part 230 of the power unit 200 needs to be connected to the second connection terminal 132 of the server power supply part 130 of the next server 100, and if the power unit 200 is located at the bottom layer of the server system 1, only the second connection terminal 232 of the power unit power supply part 230 of the power unit 200 needs to be connected to the third connection terminal 133 of the server power supply part 130 of the next server 100.
The power supply module 210 may be connected to an external power source and convert a voltage form of the external power source into a voltage form usable by the server 100. For example, the power supply module 210 may include a rectifier for converting ac power from an external power source to dc power that can be directly used by the server 100. In this case, the surface of the power supply module 210 further includes at least one power port 211 connected to an external power source. The position of the power port 211 may be set according to a specific position of the power unit 200 in the multi-layered structure. For example, when the power supply unit 200 is disposed at the top layer of the multi-layered structure, the power supply port 211 may be disposed at the upper surface of the power supply module 210; when the power supply unit 200 is disposed at the middle of the multi-layered structure, the power supply port 211 may be disposed at a side surface of the power supply module 210 so as to connect an external power supply.
In addition, the power supply module 210 may also be a lithium battery that can be directly used as a power source of the server 100. In this case, the surface of the power supply module 210 may not be provided with the power supply port 211.
The power supply unit 200 further includes: the air duct portion 240. The air channel portion 240 includes: and at least one fan 242, both sides of the duct housing in the second direction being open, the at least one fan 242 being disposed on a side of the duct housing facing the at least one power module 210, configured to deliver air inside the duct housing to the at least one power module 210. The air duct portion 240 of the power supply unit 200 and the air duct portion 140 of the at least one server 100 are sequentially connected in the second direction to form an air supply duct. As shown in fig. 4, the power supply unit 200 also includes an air duct portion 240 similarly to the structure of the server 100. The structure and size of the air channel portion 240 of the power supply unit 200 are substantially the same as those of the air channel portion 140 of the server 100, and are not described herein again. Since the power supply unit 200 also includes the air channel portion 240, the air channel portion 240 of the power supply unit 200 and the air channel portions 140 of the plurality of servers 100 may be combined to constitute an air supply channel in a multi-layer structure in which the power supply unit 200 and the plurality of servers 100 are stacked. It should be noted that the air duct portion 240 of the top device is provided with a cover plate to close the air supply duct. In the case where the equipment on the top is the server 100, the air supply duct is closed by the cover plate 143 of the duct portion 140 of the server 100; in the case where the top equipment is the power supply unit 200, the supply air duct is closed by the cover 243 of the duct portion 240 of the power supply unit 200.
The air supply path of the server system 1 is shown by a broken-line arrow in fig. 2, and an external air conditioner (not shown) inputs cool air to the air duct portion 140 of the server 100 (or the power supply unit 200) at the lowermost layer. The cool airflow is driven by the fans 142 of the air duct portions 140 of the servers 100 (and the power supply unit 200) to flow upward along the direction of the air duct. When the cool air passes through each layer of the server 100 (or the power supply unit 200), the fan 242 of the air duct portion 240 of the corresponding layer sucks the cool air into the inside of the housing 110 of the server 100 (or into the periphery of the power supply module 210) to cool the server body 120 or the power supply module 210, and prevent the server body 120 or the power supply module 210 from overheating.
It should be added that, in the above-described embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are mutually orthogonal directions, and the plurality of servers 100 and the power supply unit 200 are stacked in the vertical direction. However, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first direction and the second direction may be non-orthogonal, or the second direction may not be completely vertical, and a plurality of servers 100 and power supply units 200 may be stacked along an inclined direction, so that the resulting server system 1 has an inclined multi-layer structure similar to a staircase shape. Accordingly, in this case, the second connection terminal 132 (or the second connection terminal 232) and the third connection terminal 133 (or the third connection terminal 233) of the server power supply part 130 (or the power supply unit power supply part 230) of the server 100 (or the power supply unit 200) may be obliquely protruded or recessed into the case 110.
