Detailed Description

The following description of the embodiments of the present application will be made clearly and completely with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which it is apparent that the embodiments described are only some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the application without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the application.

The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and detailed description for the purpose of enabling those skilled in the art to better understand the aspects of the present application.

With the development of server industry and the diversification of user demands, the configuration of the server is more and more complex, and the heat dissipation demand is also more and more large. Fans as an important component of servers are often arranged and fixed in a chassis in a modular fashion, and thus fan support structures become an integral part of the interior of the server.

In the server, the heat dissipation requirement exists in all or more different components, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit, chinese translated into a central processing unit) or a GPU module dissipates heat through air cooling or water cooling. The different heat dissipating units need to share the fan module, which certainly increases the difficulty of utilizing the space resources inside the server. In the prior art, in order to meet the requirements of clients in a 4U high-end server and achieve higher computing power, a server bracket of an on-board GPU is often adopted, and the heat dissipation space reserved for a power supply is very tight. The space position of the power panel needs to be reasonably planned, and the convenience of power assembly and maintenance needs to be considered when the compatibility and separation of the power panel and other modules are finished.

Limited by the height of the power supply and the space constraints of the on-board GPU, proper fan dimensions are used, and a reasonable fan module support meets the heat dissipation requirements for the underlying power strip. Meanwhile, power boards with different specifications are required to be reasonably distributed in the chassis, so that the power boards are convenient for workers to install in maintenance while high space utilization rate is met.

Aiming at the problems of the server case in the prior art, the application provides the server case, which effectively solves the problems of heat dissipation and maintenance under the space limitation and improves the stability and maintenance efficiency of the system.

Referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a server chassis provided in an embodiment of the present application, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a server chassis provided in an embodiment of the present application in a state of assembling and disassembling a power panel.

As shown in fig. 1, the server chassis provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly includes a casing 1, a partition board assembly 2, a power board 3, and a fan module 4.

The casing 1 plays a core supporting role in the server chassis, not only provides solid physical protection for internal components, but also supports the heat dissipation and the operation efficiency of the whole system through the structural design thereof. High strength materials, such as steel or aluminum alloys, are commonly used to ensure resistance to wear and impact while ensuring overall stability and durability. The cabinet 1 has a storage space for accommodating the equipment, such as a rational layout of the internal space, so that the cabinet 1 can effectively accommodate the power panel 3, the fan module 4 and other key hardware, and meanwhile, through designing ventilation and heat dissipation channels, air circulation is promoted, and the equipment is helped to maintain a desired working temperature. In addition, the cabinet 1 is generally equipped with features that facilitate user operation, such as a detachable side panel and a rear cover, so that access to, upgrade, and maintenance of the internal components becomes more rapid and convenient.

The partition board assembly 2 is a key element in the design of the server chassis 1, and the partition board assembly 2 is rotatably assembled on the chassis 1, so that the partition board assembly can effectively divide and thermally manage the internal space of the chassis through a rotatable structure. The bulkhead assembly 2 is typically made of a high strength material that ensures its stability and durability within the chassis while providing impact resistance to protect the underlying power strip 3. In the horizontal state, the partition plate assembly 2 separates a first heat dissipation area on the upper side and a second heat dissipation area on the lower side, so that air flow is optimized and heat dissipation efficiency is improved; when rotating to vertical state, be convenient for carry out maintenance and the change of components such as power strip 3.

The power panel 3 is one of core components in the server chassis 1, and the power panel 3 is disposed in a storage space of the chassis 1 and is responsible for providing stable power supply for various hardware inside the server, and is designed in consideration of high-efficiency energy conversion and good heat dissipation performance. In terms of heat dissipation, the power panel 3 is provided with a special fan module 4 to maintain a proper working temperature and prolong the service life of the power panel 3. Meanwhile, the installation position of the power panel 3 is generally coordinated with the internal airflow design of the chassis 1 to achieve the best heat dissipation effect. In addition, the power panel 3 is often provided with various protection mechanisms, such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and short-circuit protection, to prevent power supply fluctuation or malfunction from causing damage to server hardware.

It should be noted that the ease of assembly and disassembly of the power panel 3 is particularly considered in design, and this process becomes more efficient particularly after incorporating the rotational characteristics of the spacer assembly 2. At the same time, the design of the power panel 3 also allows a user to relatively easily perform replacement or upgrades to accommodate changing server performance requirements. The bulkhead assembly 2 is rotatable between a horizontal state and a vertical state, and this design greatly simplifies the mounting and dismounting operation of the power panel 3. When maintenance or upgrading of the power panel 3 is required, the partition plate assembly 2 can be rotated to a vertical state, so that the first heat dissipation area and the second heat dissipation area which are originally separated are communicated, and a more direct and spacious operation space is provided for the power panel 3. Such a layout enables a technician to easily handle the power panel 3 in the cabinet 1 without disassembling other components or making complicated adjustments.

In a combined view, the rotation design of the partition board assembly 2 and the easy-to-assemble and disassemble characteristic of the power board 3 are combined, so that the maintenance efficiency of the server case 1 is improved, the potential risk caused by improper assembly and disassembly operations is reduced, and the stability and reliability of the server system are ensured.

The fan module 4 is a key heat dissipation component in the server chassis 1, and the fan module 4 is disposed in a storage space of the chassis 1 and is responsible for maintaining the stability of the internal temperature of the server, so as to ensure that other hardware such as the power panel 3 can operate efficiently and safely. To increase the heat dissipation efficiency, the fan module 4 is generally positioned below the level of the baffle assembly 2 and toward the first heat dissipation area to effectively exhaust the hot air out of the chassis. The fan module 4 may also be equipped with an intelligent control function, and adjusts the fan rotation speed according to the actual temperature of the server, so as to achieve balance between energy efficiency and heat dissipation effect.

During the assembly of the server chassis, efficient performance and stability of the final product is ensured by following a series of precise steps. First, the cabinet 1 is used as a basic structure, and it is required to ensure that it is horizontally placed and inspected for no damage. Subsequently, the partition plate assembly 2 and the fan module 4 are installed in the cabinet 1. For the partition plate assembly 2, it is ensured that the rotation of the partition plate assembly 2 with respect to the cabinet 1 can be reliably achieved, and the design thereof allows dividing the storage space into a first heat dissipation area on the upper side and a second heat dissipation area on the lower side in the horizontal state. For the fan module 4, the fan module 4 has a height limitation requirement, so that the space height of the fan module 4 is lower than the height of the partition board assembly 2 in the horizontal state and faces the first heat dissipation area, thereby realizing effective hot air emission, and the fan module 4 is also subjected to the air guiding effect of the partition board assembly 2, and the power supply and control connection of the fan module 4 are required to ensure accuracy so as to ensure normal operation of the fan module. Next, the partition board assembly 2 is adjusted to a vertical position, so that the power panel 3 is installed into the casing 1 from top to bottom, and the power panel 3 is properly installed in the second heat dissipation area, thereby ensuring firm fixation. Finally, after the baffle plate assembly 2 rotates to return to a flat state, a separated heat dissipation area is formed, and the purposes of optimizing air flow and heat management are achieved. After the assembly is completed, the assembly is comprehensively checked, the correct installation positions of all the components are verified, and the power panel 3 and the fan module 4 are operated normally, so that the overall performance of the server case is ensured to meet the design requirement. Through the assembly flow, the design and the functions of the server case are completely realized, and a solid foundation is provided for the stable operation of the server.

During the use of the server chassis, i.e. after the assembly of the server chassis is completed, the fan module 4 plays an important role in maintaining the temperature of the device stable. The heat in the first heat dissipation area is effectively discharged through continuous operation, and the operation of internal elements of the server at a proper temperature is ensured, so that the stability of the server is ensured, and the service life of the server is prolonged. The rotatable design of the spacer assembly 2 provides great convenience when maintenance is required inside the server chassis, particularly when the power strip 3 is removed. Through rotating baffle assembly 2 to vertical state from the horizontality, first heat dissipation region and the regional intercommunication of second heat dissipation provide more convenient operating space for maintainer for the dismantlement and the change process of power strip 3 are more smooth and easy, have also reduced the interference to other subassemblies simultaneously, have improved maintenance efficiency. The design not only reflects fine consideration of the assembly of the chassis, but also ensures the high efficiency and reliability of the server in daily operation and maintenance.

By combining the above structure and the process description, it can be seen that the server chassis has at least the following advantages: the limited height inside the casing 1 is reasonably utilized by the server case, so that the heat dissipation requirement of the power panel 3 of the on-board GPU server is met, and the problem of inconvenience in disassembly and assembly of the power panel 3 is solved.

In the present embodiment, since the rotation axis of the diaphragm assembly 2 for generating the rotation action is located on the diaphragm assembly 2 at a first side away from the fan module 4, a second side of the diaphragm assembly 2 can be raised or lowered relative to the fan module 4 when the diaphragm assembly 2 is rotated to switch between the vertical state and the horizontal state. Comparing fig. 1 and fig. 2, it can be seen that the diaphragm assembly 2 in fig. 1 is in a horizontal state, where the first edge of the diaphragm assembly 2 is adjacent to the fan module 4, and when the diaphragm assembly 2 is rotated from the horizontal state in fig. 1 to the vertical state in fig. 2, the first edge of the diaphragm assembly 2 is lifted relative to the fan module 4, and the first edge of the diaphragm assembly 2 moves to a position far above the fan module 4. Through the above-mentioned rotary design of baffle subassembly 2, on the basis of taking into account the easy characteristic of installing and removing of power strip 3, can also take into account the installation and removal and the maintenance of fan module 4. The rotational nature of the diaphragm assembly 2 provides additional operating space and flexibility for maintenance of the fan module 4, and this arrangement optimizes maintenance procedures and increases efficiency.

Specifically, when the lock position includes at least the horizontal lock position 12, the lock position is locked with the lock mechanism 24 when the separator assembly 2 is in the horizontal state, so that the separator assembly 2 is fixed in the horizontal state. When the lock position includes at least the vertical lock position 13, the lock position is locked with the lock mechanism 24 when the separator assembly 2 is in the vertical state, so that the separator assembly 2 is fixed in the vertical state.

In the independent control of the driving element on the partition board main body 21, the driving element is started, the partition board main body 21 is driven by the driving element, the action of the partition board main body 21 relative to the machine shell 1 is realized, and further the rotation switching of the partition board assembly 2 between the vertical state and the horizontal state is realized.

On the other hand, the partition board assembly 2 further comprises a detecting element such as a pressure sensor and an object detecting sensor for detecting the combination relation of the locking mechanism 24 and the locking position, wherein the detecting element can be arranged on the horizontal locking position 12 and the vertical locking position 13, and the combination state of the locking mechanism 24 and the horizontal locking position 12 or the combination state of the locking mechanism 24 and the vertical locking position 13 can be obtained through real-time monitoring through the detecting element.

In the linkage control of the separator main body 21 after the driving element is brought into the coupled state monitoring, before the driving element is started, for example, a user takes hands as input, the locking mechanism 24 is controlled to release the coupling with the horizontal locking position 12, at this time, the detecting element monitors the disengaging signal of the locking mechanism 24 and the horizontal locking position 12 in real time, which corresponds to sending an input signal to the driving element, the driving element judges that the separator assembly 2 needs to be switched from the horizontal state to the vertical state, and the driving element drives the separator main body 21 to realize the rotation switching of the separator assembly 2 from the horizontal state to the vertical state. Similarly, when the locking mechanism 24 is controlled to release the combination with the vertical locking position 13, the detection element monitors the release signal of the locking mechanism 24 and the vertical locking position 13 in real time, which is equivalent to sending an input signal to the driving element, the driving element determines that the partition board assembly 2 needs to be switched from the vertical state to the horizontal state, and the driving element drives the partition board main body 21 to realize the rotation switching of the partition board assembly 2 from the vertical state to the horizontal state.

In some cases, when the separator assembly 2 rotates to a preset state, the separator assembly 2 is locked by using the locking mechanism 24 and the locking position, and at this time, the combination relationship between the locking mechanism 24 and the locking position can be detected by the detection element corresponding to the locking position, so as to determine whether the separator assembly 2 is reliably locked.

Based on the foregoing coordinated control scheme, automatic rotational switching of the diaphragm assembly 2 is achieved by combining the latch mechanism 24, a driving element (e.g., a motor), and a detecting element (e.g., a pressure sensor or an object detecting sensor). The linkage control scheme improves the convenience and efficiency of operation, and the system can rapidly and accurately respond to and execute the rotary switching action by monitoring the combination state of the locking mechanism 24 and the locking position in real time. The automatic control reduces the need for manual operation and potential misoperation, and improves the maintenance efficiency and the reliability of the system. In addition, the scheme has strong adaptability, can stably work in different environments, saves space, is user-friendly and is easy to operate, so that the performance and the user experience of the whole automatic system are improved.

Alternatively, the latch mechanism 24 is mounted at a laterally centered position of the bulkhead main body 21.

The telescopic member 242 is slidably fitted in the fitting hole 2411 of the fixing member 241, and the telescopic member 242 is telescopically slidable with respect to the fixing member 241. The control 243 is connected to the telescopic member 242, and the control 243 is used for controlling the telescopic member 242 to stretch and retract, so that the telescopic member 242 is locked with the locking position when being extended.

When the state position of the diaphragm assembly 2 needs to be fixed, the operation control 243 is controlled to act to drive the telescopic piece 242 to extend and interact with the locking position, so that the diaphragm assembly 2 is firmly locked in the required position. When the partition plate assembly 2 needs to be released, the telescopic piece 242 is driven to retract again through the action of the control 243, and the locking is released. This design allows for easier and more accurate installation, adjustment and maintenance of the diaphragm assembly 2, improving the overall operational efficiency and flexibility of use of the server chassis.

The telescopic rod 2421 is provided with the special-shaped groove 24211, the special-shaped groove 24211 is located in the partition plate main body 21, and the special-shaped groove 24211 is matched with the assembly hole 2411 of the fixing piece 241, so that rotation of the telescopic piece 242 and the fixing piece 241 is avoided on the basis of sliding assembly of the telescopic piece 242 and the fixing piece 241, and because the outer side of the fixing piece 241 is abutted against the inside of the partition plate main body 21, the fixing piece 241 is of a structure located in the partition plate assembly 2, stability of a locking mechanism is further enhanced, and unexpected loosening in the operation process is prevented. The control member 243 is rotatably connected with the second end of the telescopic rod 2421 through the fixing pin 244, and the telescopic rod 2421 is controlled in a rotation control manner by the control member 243.

In use, when the control 243 rotates relative to the telescopic member 242 to an angle where the first side wall 2432 abuts against the inner side of the fixing member 241, the telescopic member 242 is retracted inwards; when the control 243 rotates relative to the telescopic member 242 to an angle where the second side wall 2433 abuts against the inner side of the fixing member 241, the telescopic member 242 extends outwards.

Alternatively, the preset included angle between the first side wall 2432 and the second side wall 2433 is a right angle, and the rotation angle of the control 243 ranges from 0 ° to 90 °.

In some cases, the control panel 2431 is bar-shaped, with easy manipulation properties. When the control panel 2431 is in a vertical state, the telescopic piece 242 rotates to an angle that the first side wall 2432 abuts against the inner side of the fixing piece 241; when the control panel 2431 is in a horizontal state, the telescopic member 242 rotates to an angle where the second side wall 2433 abuts against the inner side of the fixing member 241.
