Description

Server and case

Technical Field

The utility model discloses a server and quick-witted case, but especially a server and quick-witted case that can slow down vibrations of plug devices such as power supply in the box.

Background

CRPS (Common heavy Power Supply) backup Power supplies are a series of standard Power supplies established by Intel corporation, and the standards prescribe specifications such as the external form and output Power of the Power Supply, so that users can select different manufacturers to produce Power supplies with the same specification under a fixed standard, and users or maintenance personnel can replace and maintain the Power supplies conveniently.

The CRPS redundant power supply is designed to be an open system by opening the power supply which can be plugged and replaced by a user, so that the CRPS redundant power supply cannot be directly deadlocked and fixed on the case body. Generally, the casing has a plugging channel for the CRPS standby power supply to be pluggable, and therefore the casing needs to reserve a gap for the CRPS standby power supply to pass through. Therefore, the gap between the CRPS redundant power supply and the box body can make the CRPS redundant power supply have a swaying space, so that when the server operates and vibrates, for example, the CRPS redundant power supply vibrates in the plugging channel, which is easy to cause damage to the connecting end golden fingers or unstable power supply.

In the prior art, the only way for stabilizing the CRPS standby power supply is to provide an elastic Latch (Latch) on the surface around the CRPS standby power supply as a fixing structure, and the Latch is used to abut against the wall surface of the plugging channel to prevent the CRPS standby power supply from unexpectedly coming out of the plugging channel. However, since the latch has a telescopic characteristic, the latch deforms when subjected to a force, so that the shock of the CRPS standby power supply is very limited. Therefore, how to effectively alleviate the vibration of the CRPS standby power supply in the chassis is a subject to be solved by related researchers in the field.

The server 1 of the present embodiment includes a box 10, a partition 20, four

rear stoppers

31 and 32, two power supplies 40, and a front stopper 50.

The box 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a lower cover 12, and the upper cover 11 is assembled to the lower cover 12 and forms a plug passageway SP. The box 10 has a bearing surface CS located on the lower cover 12, and the plug passageway SP is located above the bearing surface CS.

The upper cover 11 includes a top plate 110, two side plates 130, two diagonal connection plates 150, and two fixing plates 170. The side plates 130 are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the top plate 110 and located between the top plate 110 and the lower cover 12, and the side plates 130 are fixed to the lower cover 12. The fixing plates 170 are connected to the side plates 130 through the oblique connecting plates 150, respectively, and the oblique connecting plates 150 are non-parallel to the side plates 130 and the fixing plates 170. In this embodiment, the top plate 110, the side plate 130, the slant connecting plate 150 and the fixing plate 170 are integrally formed by bending a metal plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the top plate and the two side plates may be plate members that are independent of each other and assembled to each other, for example, by fasteners such as bolts.

A partition 20 is provided in the plug passageway SP of the cabinet 10 to partition the plug passageway SP into two sub-passageways SP1.

The

back stoppers

31 and 32 are both connected to the box 10 and located at one end of the plug passageway SP. In detail, two of the back stoppers 31 are connected to the top plate 110 of the upper cover 11 of the box 10 and respectively correspond to the two sub-channels SP1 of the plug channel SP, and the other two back stoppers 32 are connected to the lower cover 12 of the box 10 and respectively correspond to the two sub-channels SP1 of the plug channel SP. As shown in fig. 4, the

back stoppers

31 and 32 and the fixing plate 170 are respectively located at two opposite ends of the plugging channel SP. In the embodiment, the rear stopper 31 and the top plate 110 are integrally formed by bending a metal plate, and the rear stopper 32 and the lower cover 12 are integrally formed by bending a metal plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the backstop may be a plate member separate from and assembled to the top plate and the lower cover, such as by fasteners, such as bolts.

The power supply 40 is removably disposed in the two sub-channels SP1 of the plug channel SP of the box 10 and disposed on the carrying surface CS. The power supplies 40 each have a fan FN and a power outlet CP, and the fan FN and the power outlet CP are exposed from the plug path SP of the case 10. In the embodiment, the power supply 40 is a CRPS backup power supply 40, but the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the power supply may be other standard power supplies, such as Mini power supply, 2U power supply, PS2 power supply, and the like. In addition, the power supply 40 is taken as an example of a pluggable device in the present embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereto; in other embodiments, the pluggable device may be other pluggable modules such as a hard disk module.

Fig. 5 to 7 are also referred to, wherein fig. 5 is a side sectional view of the server in fig. 1, fig. 6 is a partially enlarged view of the server in fig. 5, and fig. 7 is a partially top view of the server in fig. 1.

The front stop 50 includes a fixed frame 51, two inclined stop plates 53, two extension plates 55, and four structural reinforcement plates 57. The inclined baffles 53 are respectively connected to opposite sides of the fixed frame 51, and the inclined baffles 53 respectively form obtuse angles θ 1 with the fixed frame 51. The extending plates 55 are respectively connected to the side of the inclined baffle plate 53 far away from the fixed frame 51, and the extending plates 55 are respectively non-parallel to the inclined baffle plate 53. The structural reinforcement plates 57 are respectively connected between opposite sides of each of the inclined flaps 53 and the fixing frame 51, and the width of each of the structural reinforcement plates 57 is tapered in a direction away from the inclined flap 53. The fixing frame 51 is detachably fixed to the fixing plate 170 of the upper cover 11 by a fixing member such as a bolt, so that the front stopper 50 is located at one end of the insertion and extraction passage SP with respect to the

rear stoppers

31 and 32. As shown in fig. 5, the inclined baffles 53 have different distances from the supporting surface CS (i.e. one of the inclined baffles 53 is closer to the supporting surface CS than the other inclined baffle 53) and are respectively located at the upper and lower sides of the power supply 40, and the

rear stoppers

31 and 32 and the inclined baffle 53 of the front stopper 50 respectively abut against the opposite sides of the power supply 40, so as to fix the power supply 40 in the plug-in passage SP of the box 10, thereby achieving the effect of limiting and resisting vibration. In addition, as shown in fig. 1, the fixing frame 51 has two openings 510, and the openings 510 respectively expose the fan FN and the power outlets CP of each power supply 40.

In the present embodiment, the fixing frame 51, the inclined baffle 53, the extension plate 55 and the structural reinforcing plate 57 are integrally formed by bending a metal plate, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, some of the fixed frame, the diagonal baffle, the extension panel, and the structural reinforcing panel may be separate panels, and may be assembled to each other, for example, by fasteners such as bolts.

As shown in fig. 6, the inclined baffles 53 are bent from the fixing frame 51 to form an obtuse angle θ 1 therebetween, for example, 105 degrees to 120 degrees, so that an acute angle θ 2, for example, 15 degrees to 30 degrees, can be clamped between each of the inclined baffles 53 and the upper surface 41 and the lower surface 42 of the power supply 40, thereby reliably clamping the power supply 40 by slight interference between the inclined baffles 53 and the power supply 40. The feature of the obtuse angle θ 1 between the inclined baffle 53 and the fixed frame 51 in the embodiment described above enables the front stopper 50 to be surely slightly interfered with the power supply 40 to clamp the power supply 40 without considering the influence of tolerance during manufacturing, and the rigidity and elasticity of the metal plate can be used to clamp the power supply 40 without affecting the assembly and with great pressure. If the 90-degree bend is designed between the inclined baffle and the fixing frame, a gap needs to be reserved to avoid assembly interference, and the gap needs to be enlarged in consideration of manufacturing tolerance, so that the power supply cannot be fixed reliably. Therefore, compared with the method of bending the inclined baffle plate and the fixed frame at 90 degrees, the obtuse angle θ 1 between the inclined baffle plate 53 and the fixed frame 51 of the present embodiment can ensure that the power supply 40 is securely clamped by the front stop 50, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the vibration of the power supply 40. Preferably, the obtuse angle θ 1 between the inclined baffle 53 and the fixed frame 51 may be 110 degrees, so that the inclined baffle 53 may form an acute angle θ 2 of 20 degrees with the upper surface 41 and the lower surface 42 of the power supply 40, respectively. However, the obtuse angle θ 1 between the inclined baffle 53 and the fixed frame 51 is not limited to the above angle, and in other embodiments, the obtuse angle between the inclined baffle and the fixed frame may be different from 105 degrees to 120 degrees.

The front stop 50 of the present embodiment is detachably fixed to the box 10 by a fixing member such as a bolt, for fixing the power supply 40 in the inserting and pulling passage SP of the box 10, so as to reduce the vibration of the power supply 40 and achieve the limiting effect. When the user wants to replace or repair the power supply 40, the user only needs to detach the front stopper 50 from the box 10, and then the power supply 40 can be taken out from the plug passageway SP.

As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in the present embodiment, the extension plate 55 extends substantially perpendicular to the fixed frame 51 and in the direction of the

stoppers

31, 32. In the present embodiment, an extension plate 55 is further extended from one end of the inclined baffle 53 as a means for structural reinforcement, thereby increasing the overall structural strength of the front stopper 50. However, the extension plate 55 of the present embodiment can be selected, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the front stop may not have an extension plate depending on the actual design requirements. As used herein, the term "substantially perpendicular" may refer to an angle between two elements that is 90 degrees or approximately 90 degrees.

As shown in fig. 7, in the present embodiment, the fixing plate 170 and the side plate 130 are connected by the oblique connecting plate 150 to form a local bending structure, so as to provide a space for abdicating, and a structural reinforcing plate 57 may be further disposed between the fixing frame 51 and the oblique baffle 53, so as to improve the connection strength between the fixing frame 51 and the oblique baffle 53 and increase the overall area of the front stopper 50, thereby improving the overall structural strength of the front stopper 50. However, the structural reinforcing plate 57 of the present embodiment can be selected, and the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the front stop member may not have a structural reinforcing plate according to the actual design requirement. It should be noted that fig. 7 only shows the inclined baffle 53 and the structural reinforcing plate 57 on one side of the front stopper 50, but the inclined baffle 53 and the structural reinforcing plate 57 on the other side of the front stopper 50 also have the same or similar structural features.

As shown in fig. 1, the fixing frame 51 has an opening 510 to expose the fan FN and the power socket CP of the power supply 40, and the shape of the opening 510 of the fixing frame 51 can correspond to the shape of the fan FN and the power socket CP, so that more solid portions of the fixing frame 51 can be retained to abut against the power supply 40, and serve as a reinforcing structure to reinforce the structural strength of the fixing frame 51.

In the triaxial vibration test, compared with the power supply in the server without the front stopper, the total root mean square acceleration (Grms) of the power supply 40 of the embodiment can be effectively reduced by about eighty percent under the same test conditions of acceleration, pulse width, vibration frequency and the like, which is beneficial to passing through the product vibration test and meeting the customer requirements.

The box 10, the

rear stoppers

31 and 32, and the front stopper 50 of the present embodiment can be regarded as a case for accommodating the power supply 40. That is, the cabinet includes a cabinet 10,

rear stoppers

31 and 32, and a front stopper 50.

The front stopper 50 of the present embodiment may be a flexible sheet metal member, so that the front stopper 50 may allow slight deformation when being mounted on the box 10 and abutting against the power supply 40, and therefore, in the manufacturing process, the distance between the fixing frame 51 of the front stopper 50 and the

rear stoppers

31 and 32 may be designed to be slightly smaller than the length of the power supply 40, so as to ensure that the front stopper 50 and the

rear stoppers

31 and 32 can reliably clamp the power supply 40, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the present embodiment, the number of the

rear stoppers

31 and 32 is four, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the number of the back stoppers may be less than or more than four according to actual requirements, as long as the back stoppers have one end corresponding to each sub-channel of the plug channel to abut against each power supply located in each sub-channel.

In this embodiment, the

rear stoppers

31 and 32 are connected to the top plate 110 of the upper lid 11 and the lower lid 12, respectively, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the backstop may be attached only to the top plate or only to the lower cover. In some embodiments, the rear stopper can be, for example, connected to the side plate of the upper cover instead of the side plate according to the actual design requirement.

In the present embodiment, the number of the power supplies 40 is two, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the number of the power supplies may be one, so that a partition member is not required to be disposed in the plug channel to separate the plurality of sub-channels. In some embodiments, the number of the power supplies may be three or more, and the plugging channel may be provided with a plurality of partitions to separate a plurality of sub-channels to accommodate the power supplies respectively.

According to the server and the case of the embodiment, the front blocking piece is additionally arranged on the case body of the server and is matched with the rear blocking piece connected to the case body, so that the inclined blocking pieces of the rear blocking piece and the front blocking piece are respectively abutted against two opposite sides of a pluggable device such as a power supply, the power supply is fixed in a pluggable channel of the case body, and the limiting and shock-resistant effects can be achieved. Moreover, because the front blocking piece is detachably arranged on the box body, when a user wants to replace or maintain the power supply, the power supply can be taken out from the plugging channel only by detaching the front blocking piece from the box body, thereby still providing the freedom degree of the power supply which can be plugged and replaced by the user.
