Description

server

The invention relates to a server.

Currently, the server generally has a plurality of receiving slots for receiving a plurality of modules. The server generally has an air inlet connected to each of the receiving slots. During operation, the air inlet introduces airflow to dissipate heat from each module. In addition, a baffle is generally disposed on each side of the module inlet of each receiving slot, and each baffle is provided with a torsion spring at a connection with the receiving slot. When the module is not inserted into the receiving slot, the two baffles on both sides of the inlet are connected under the torsion of the torsion spring to close the inlet of the corresponding receiving slot. When inserting the module, the module overcomes the torsion force of the torsion spring to separate the two baffles, and pushes the two baffles into the receiving groove to the two baffles respectively attached to the inner wall of the corresponding side of the receiving groove. At this time, the two baffles clamp the module under the torsion of the torsion spring, and fix the module in the corresponding receiving slot.

However, in this way, when a certain touch group needs to be replaced or because other configurations need to be removed from the corresponding receiving slot, the airflow still overcomes the force of the torsion spring and flushes the baffle out from the inlet of the receiving slot, affecting the server. The heat dissipation effect is not good.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a server with better heat dissipation effect.

A server for housing a module. The server includes two side plates that are parallel to each other, at least one partition plate, and at least one shielding portion. The at least one spacer is perpendicular to the two side panels to define a receiving slot between the two side panels. Storage slot An air inlet and a module inlet opposite to the air inlet are formed. The shielding portion is disposed in the receiving groove. The obscuring portion includes two baffle elements, each baffle element including a baffle. The two baffles are disposed in the receiving groove. One ends of the two baffles are respectively rotatably disposed at corresponding positions of the two side plates. The other end of the two baffles is formed with an engaging portion. The sum of the lengths of the two baffles is greater than the width of the receiving groove. The two baffles are inclined toward the air inlet and are used to seal the module inlet by the two engaging portions when the module is not received in the at least one receiving slot.

Compared with the prior art, when the module is taken out from the receiving slot, the complementary engaging portions formed by the two baffles are engaged with each other to seal the module inlet, thereby introducing the wind pair introduced into the air inlet. The heat dissipation of the modules in other receiving slots ensures that the heat dissipation effect of the server is better.

The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, a server 10 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is used to receive a module 20 (see FIG. 5). The server 10 includes a body 110 and two shielding portions 120. The server 10 is provided with an air inlet (not shown) for introducing the airflow pair module 20 Cool down.

The body 110 includes two side plates 112 and a partition plate 114 which are parallel to each other. The spacers 114 are perpendicular to the two side panels 112 and are disposed between the two side panels 112. As such, the two side plates 112 and the partition plate 114 define two receiving slots 116 on both sides of the partition plate 114. Each receiving slot 116 has a module inlet 116a, an air inlet 116b and two side walls 116c. The module inlet 116a is opposite to the air inlet 116b. The air inlet 116b is in communication with the air inlet for introducing airflow to dissipate heat from the module 20.

Referring to FIG. 3, a shutter 118 extends from the top of each side wall 116c toward the receiving groove 116. A first through hole 118a is defined in the shutter 118. A second through hole 122 corresponding to the first through hole 118a is defined in the partition plate 114.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the shielding portion 120 is disposed in the receiving groove 116 and includes two baffle assemblies 122. Each baffle element 122 includes a baffle 122a, a rotating shaft 122b and a torsion spring 122c.

Referring to FIG. 3 together, the baffle 122a includes a rectangular body 124, a fixing portion 126 and a latching portion 128. The fixing portion 126 and the engaging portion 128 are respectively located at opposite ends of the body 124. The fixing portion 126 includes two spaced apart fixing blocks 126a. A third through hole 126b is defined in each of the fixing blocks 126a. The engaging portion 128 includes two spaced apart blocks 128b, and a card slot 128c is formed between the two blocks 128b. Specifically, the structures of the engaging portions 128 of the two baffles 122a are complementary. That is, the blocks 128b of the two engaging portions 128 are offset from each other. Thus, when the two engaging portions 128 abut each other, one of the engaging blocks 128b of each engaging portion is engaged in the latching groove 128c of the other engaging portion 128. In addition, the total length of the two baffles 122a is slightly larger than the width of the receiving groove 116. Thus, when the two baffles 122a are respectively mounted at opposite positions of the two side walls 116c of the receiving groove 116 (please refer to the following), the two engaging portions 128 will abut each other.

The torsion spring 122c includes two winding portions 122d that are spaced apart from each other and a free abutting portion 122f that connects the two wire portions 122d.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the baffle assembly 122 is installed, the rotating shaft 122b is sequentially rotatably fixed to the side wall through the first through hole 118a, the third through hole 126b, the winding portion 122d and the second through hole 122. 116 on. The winding portion 122d abuts against the side wall 116c (not shown), so that the torque generated by the free abutting portion 122f forces the baffle 122a to rotate toward the module inlet 116a. Since the length of the two baffles 122a is larger than the width of the receiving groove 116, The complementary structure of the two engaging portions 128 causes the two baffles 122a to be inclined inward when the module 20 is not inserted into the receiving slot 116, and is staggered and latched together to prevent the two baffles 122a from being rushed by the airflow in the receiving slots 116. open.

Referring to FIG. 5, when the module 20 is inserted into the receiving slot 116 from the module inlet 116a of the receiving slot 116, the baffle 122a overcomes the torsion of the free abutting portion 122f by the force applied by the module 20 (torsion spring) The 122c is deformed and rotated around the rotating shaft 122b in the direction of the corresponding side wall 116c until the module 20 is placed into the receiving groove 116. The two baffles 122a will clamp the module under the action of the torque, thereby fixing the module 20 In the receiving slot 116. When the module 20 is taken out from the module inlet 116a of the receiving slot 116, the shutter 122a rotates around the rotating shaft 122b in the direction away from the respective side walls 116c under the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring 122c until the shutters 122a are engaged with each other. The module inlet 116a is live.

In order to better blow or deform the two baffles 122a without being introduced by the air inlet 116b, the angle between the bodies 124 of the two baffles 122a is an obtuse angle. The angle of the included angle is generally in the range of 135-165 degrees. In the present embodiment, the angle of the included angle is 150 degrees. The wind introduced from the air inlet 116b does not pass between the two baffles 122a, and the wind introduced at the air inlet 116b ensures that the module 20 in the other receiving slot 116 dissipates heat.

In order to enable the two baffles 122a to be better engaged when the module 20 is removed, each baffle 122a is also A limit member 129 is included. The limiting member 129 is disposed on the side wall 116c and located at a side of the rotating shaft 122b adjacent to the module inlet 116a and abuts against the fixing block 126a, so that the two baffles 122a are not punched by the wind introduced by the air inlet 116b.

When the module 20 is taken out from the receiving slot 116, the complementary engaging portions 128 formed by the two baffles 122a are engaged with each other to seal the module inlet 116a, so that the wind pair introduced by the air inlet 116b The module 20 in the other receiving slots 116 dissipates heat to ensure better heat dissipation of the server 10.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law.
