本發明關於一種伺服器,尤指一種使用電連接主機板之第一訊號傳輸線、與主機板分開設置的橋接板,以及電連接可抽換裝置之第二訊號傳輸線之間的連接設計來建立主機板與可抽換裝置之間的高速訊號傳輸且第一訊號傳輸線與第二訊號傳輸線之金手指接頭之中心軸線不共線的伺服器。The invention relates to a server, in particular to a connection between a first signal transmission line electrically connected to a motherboard, a bridge board disposed separately from the motherboard, and a second signal transmission line electrically connected to the replaceable device to establish a host. A high speed signal transmission between the board and the replaceable device and the server of the first signal transmission line and the center axis of the golden finger connector of the second signal transmission line are not collinear.
隨著電子科技的進步,伺服器已成為業界廣為使用的資訊處理系統。伺服器中通常包括有主機板、電源供應器、各式磁碟機(如硬碟、光碟機)、…等主要元件,由於對伺服器功能需求的日益增加及體積日益小型化,在同一機箱內安裝多個主機板的需求越來越多,而且每一主機板本身的體積也越來越小,一方面要求實現主機板的熱插拔,另一方面要求在有限的空間內在主機板上佈設更多的零件,使得伺服器的設計和製造成本居高不下。此外,主機板通常係利用本身之板對板連接器插接至中間橋接板(Middle plane)且經由中間橋接板上之傳輸埠與纜線之連接傳輸以電連接至伺服器硬碟,然而,此種連接方式不僅會造成費時費工的組裝流程,同時也會導致主機板與硬碟之間的高速訊號傳輸受到走線需經過中間橋接板而具有過長傳輸路徑的影響且容易受到中間橋接板上其他傳輸訊號的干擾而過度失真,另外亦容易出現纜線在組裝過程中因受到連接器元件組裝干涉或直接對撞的影響而斷裂的問題。With the advancement of electronic technology, the server has become a widely used information processing system in the industry. The server usually includes main components, power supply, various magnetic disk drives (such as hard disk, optical disk drive), etc., due to the increasing demand for server functions and the increasingly small size, in the same chassis. There are more and more requirements for installing multiple motherboards, and each motherboard itself is getting smaller and smaller. On the one hand, it requires hot swapping of the motherboard, and on the other hand, it requires a limited space on the motherboard. More parts are laid out, making the design and manufacturing costs of the server high. In addition, the motherboard usually uses its own board-to-board connector to be inserted into the middle plane and is transmitted via the connection of the transmission and cable on the intermediate bridge to electrically connect to the server hard disk. This type of connection not only causes a time-consuming and labor-intensive assembly process, but also causes high-speed signal transmission between the motherboard and the hard disk to be affected by the excessively long transmission path and easy to be bridged by the intermediate bridge. The interference of other transmission signals on the board is excessively distorted, and it is also prone to the problem that the cable is broken during the assembly process due to assembly interference or direct collision of the connector components.

As can be seen from FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4, the tray 28 has at least one side plate 32 (in the first 1 shows two, but not limited to this, the side plate 32 is formed with at least one longitudinal opening 34 and at least one lateral guiding groove 36 (two are shown in Fig. 1, but not limited thereto), longitudinal The opening 34 is in communication with the transverse channel 36 for guiding positioning. The receiving frame 30 protrudes toward the side plate 32 to form at least one limiting guide post 38 (two are shown in FIG. 1 , but not limited thereto), and another elastic arm 40 is formed on one side of the limiting guiding post 38 . The limit guide post 38 may preferably be a T-shaped guide post (but not limited thereto, and may be modified by other limit structure designs, such as bent guide posts) to be slidable through the longitudinal opening 34. When it is disposed in the lateral guiding groove 36, it can be moved relative to the lateral guiding groove 36 to make the receiving frame 30 relatively close to or away from the side plate 32 (that is, the receiving frame 30 can utilize the limiting guiding post 38 and the lateral guiding The limit design between the slots 36 is performed with a limited degree of movement along the lateral guide groove 36 along the ±Y-axis direction as shown in FIG. 1 to achieve the insertion of the guideable gold finger joint 27 into the signal transmission port 22 In the purpose.
另外,在此實施例中,容置框體30可具有一容置凹槽42,容置凹槽42朝向限位導柱38之一側具有彈臂40,藉以提昇彈臂40之結構彈性,更進一步地,容置框體30可包含一第一支架44與一第二支架46,第一支架44以及第二支架46設置於第二訊號傳輸線26之兩側以固定第二訊號傳輸線26,並且第一支架44朝側板32之一側具有限位導柱38。第一支架44與第二支架46之固定方式可較佳地採用螺絲鎖固之方式(但不以此為限,其係可改採用其他支架固定設計,如結構扣合等),舉例來說,如第3圖以及第4圖所示,第一支架44以及第二支架46之兩側可分別設有複數個穿孔48,且第一支架44兩側之穿孔48可與第二支架46兩側之穿孔48相互對位,藉此,第一支架44以及第二支架46即可利用二螺絲50分別鎖固於第一支架44兩側之穿孔48與第二支架46兩側之穿孔48之方式固定住第二訊號傳輸線26。In addition, in this embodiment, the accommodating frame 30 can have a receiving recess 42 , and the accommodating recess 42 has a resilient arm 40 on one side of the limiting guide post 38 , thereby improving the structural elasticity of the elastic arm 40 . Further, the accommodating frame 30 can include a first bracket 44 and a second bracket 46.

The fixing manner of the first bracket 44 and the second bracket 46 can be preferably screwed (but not limited thereto, and other bracket fixing designs, such as structural fastening, etc.) can be used, for example. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , a plurality of through holes 48 may be respectively disposed on two sides of the first bracket 44 and the second bracket 46 , and the through holes 48 on both sides of the first bracket 44 may be combined with the second bracket 46 . The side through holes 48 are aligned with each other, whereby the first bracket 44 and the second bracket 46 can be respectively locked to the through holes 48 on both sides of the first bracket 44 and the through holes 48 on both sides of the second bracket 46 by the two screws 50. The second signal transmission line 26 is fixed in a manner.
至於在容置框體30與側板32之間的固定設計方面,如第1圖所示,限位導柱38於橫向導槽36上滑動之位置具有一滑動行程L,彈臂40對應橫向導槽36之位置上突出形成有一限位扣件52,藉此,容置框體30係可利用限位扣件52勾扣於橫向導槽36與限位導柱38抵靠橫向導槽36之方式,以將容置框體30固定在側板32上而限制住容置框體30在如第1圖所示之±X軸與±Z軸方向之位移。As for the fixed design between the accommodating frame 30 and the side plate 32, as shown in FIG. 1, the position of the limit guide post 38 on the lateral guide groove 36 has a sliding stroke L, and the elastic arm 40 corresponds to the lateral guide. A limiting fastener 52 is protruded from the slot 36. The receiving frame 30 can be hooked on the lateral guiding groove 36 and the limiting guiding post 38 against the lateral guiding groove 36 by using the limiting fastener 52. In a manner, the accommodating frame 30 is fixed to the side plate 32 to restrict the displacement of the accommodating frame 30 in the ±X axis and the ±Z axis direction as shown in FIG.
在實際應用中,如第2圖以及第3圖所示,容置凹槽42之一側可具有複數個導孔54(於第3圖中顯示二個,但不受此限),連接器12可另包含一承載座56以用來承載橋接板20以及訊號傳輸埠22,承載座54對應複數個導孔54可突出形成有複數個導銷58,藉此,當第二訊號傳輸線26與訊號傳輸埠22對接時,導孔54提供導銷58穿設,以引導金手指接頭27插設於訊號傳輸埠22中,從而產生引導對位功效。In practical applications, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, one side of the accommodating recess 42 may have a plurality of guide holes 54 (two are shown in FIG. 3, but are not limited thereto), and the connector 12 can further include a carrier 56 for carrying the bridge board 20 and the signal transmission port 22, the carrier 54 can be formed with a plurality of guide pins 58 corresponding to the plurality of guide holes 54, whereby when the second signal transmission line 26 is When the signal transmission port 22 is docked, the guide hole 54 provides a guide pin 58 to be inserted to guide the gold finger joint 27 to be inserted into the signal transmission port 22, thereby generating a guiding alignment function.
於此針對連接器12與連接器限位裝置14之組裝操作進行說明,請參閱第1圖、第5圖,以及第6圖,第5圖為第3圖之容置框體30之限位導柱38對準側板32之縱向開口34的組裝示意圖,第6圖為第2圖之連接器12之導銷58對準容置框體30之導孔54的組裝示意圖。當使用者想要進行連接器12以及連接器限位裝置14之間的組裝時,使用者僅需先將容置有電連接至可抽換裝置16之第二訊號傳輸線26的容置框體30上之限位導柱38對準側板32上之縱向開口34,且下壓容置框體30以使限位導柱38沿著一組裝方向A(即如第5圖所示之-Z軸方向)穿過縱向開口34進入橫向導槽36內,並接著推動容置框體30沿著一組裝方向B(即如第5圖所示之+X軸方向)在橫向導槽36內朝橫向導槽36之一末端P 1移動。 Here, the assembly operation of the connector 12 and the connector limiting device 14 will be described. Please refer to FIG. 1 , FIG. 5 , and FIG. 6 , and FIG. 5 is the limit of the housing frame 30 of FIG. 3 . FIG. 6 is an assembled view of the guide pin 58 of the connector 12 of FIG. 2 aligned with the guide hole 54 of the accommodating frame 30. When the user wants to assemble the connector 12 and the connector limiting device 14, the user only needs to first accommodate the receiving frame of the second signal transmission line 26 electrically connected to the replaceable device 16. The limit guide post 38 on the 30 is aligned with the longitudinal opening 34 of the side plate 32, and the frame 30 is depressed to accommodate the limit guide post 38 along an assembly direction A (ie, -Z as shown in Fig. 5). The axial direction) enters the lateral guide groove 36 through the longitudinal opening 34, and then pushes the accommodating frame 30 along an assembly direction B (ie, the +X-axis direction as shown in FIG. 5) in the lateral guide groove 36. One end P 1 of the lateral guide groove 36 moves.
在上述過程中,當限位導柱38於通過縱向開口34進入橫向導槽36時,側板32就會擠壓限位扣件52以使彈臂40受壓變形,接下來,當限位導柱38在橫向導槽36內朝橫向導槽36之末端P 1移動如第1圖所示之滑動行程T至使限位扣件52對位到橫向導槽36之位置時(此時,限位導柱38係抵靠到橫向導槽36之末端P 1),受壓變形之彈臂40即可提供彈力以使限位扣件52從橫向導槽36彈出而勾扣於橫向導槽36之一前端P 2。如此一來,透過限位導柱38抵靠到橫向導槽36之末端P 1以及限位扣件52勾扣於橫向導槽36之前端P 2的雙軸向限位設計(如第1圖所示之限制住容置框體30在±X軸與±Z軸方向上之位移),容置框體30即可穩固地設置在側板32上且僅可相對於橫向導槽36進行沿著如第1圖所示之±Y軸方向之有限度移動。 In the above process, when the limit guide post 38 enters the lateral guide groove 36 through the longitudinal opening 34, the side plate 32 will press the limit fastener 52 to deform the elastic arm 40, and then, when the limit guide The post 38 moves in the lateral guide groove 36 toward the end P 1 of the lateral guide groove 36 as shown in FIG. 1 to the position where the limit fastener 52 is aligned to the lateral guide groove 36 (at this time, The position guide post 38 abuts against the end P 1 of the lateral guide groove 36, and the elastically deformed elastic arm 40 can provide an elastic force to cause the limit fastener 52 to be ejected from the lateral guide groove 36 and hooked to the lateral guide groove 36. One of the front ends P 2 . In this way, the biaxial limit design of the distal end P 2 of the lateral guide groove 36 is resisted by the limit guide post 38 against the end P 1 of the lateral guide groove 36 and the limit fastener 52 (as shown in FIG. 1 ). The illustrated housing 30 is displaced in the ±X-axis and ±Z-axis directions, and the housing frame 30 can be stably disposed on the side plate 32 and can only be along the lateral guide 36. The finite degree of movement in the ±Y-axis direction as shown in Fig. 1 is shown.
接下來,使用者係可進行連接器限位裝置14與連接器12之對接,也就是說,使用者係可將連接器12之承載座56之導銷58對準容置框體30上之導孔54,且推動連接器12以使導銷58沿著一組裝方向C(即如第6圖所示之+X軸方向)插入容置框體30之導孔54,藉以引導金手指接頭27插設於訊號傳輸埠22中而經由橋接板20以及第一訊號傳輸線24建立可抽換裝置16與主機板12之間的高速訊號傳輸(如第1圖所示),而如上所述,透過容置框體30僅可相對於橫向導槽36進行在±Y軸方向上之有限度移動的設計,使用者係可在將導銷58插入導孔54的過程中,微調連接器限位裝置14與連接器12之相對位置,藉以確保金手指接頭27可順利地插設於訊號傳輸埠22中,從而有效地防止連接器12因與連接器限位裝置14之間發生組裝干涉或直接對撞所產生的元件損壞問題。Next, the user can perform the docking of the connector limiting device 14 and the connector 12, that is, the user can align the guiding pin 58 of the carrier 56 of the connector 12 with the receiving frame 30. The guide hole 54 pushes the connector 12 to insert the guide pin 58 into the guide hole 54 of the accommodating frame 30 along an assembly direction C (ie, the +X axis direction as shown in FIG. 6), thereby guiding the gold finger joint. 27 is inserted in the signal transmission port 22 to establish high-speed signal transmission between the replaceable device 16 and the motherboard 12 via the bridge board 20 and the first signal transmission line 24 (as shown in FIG. 1), as described above, Through the accommodating frame 30, only a limited movement in the ±Y-axis direction can be performed with respect to the lateral guide groove 36, and the user can fine-tune the connector limit during the process of inserting the guide pin 58 into the guide hole 54. The relative position of the device 14 and the connector 12 ensures that the gold finger joint 27 can be smoothly inserted into the signal transmission port 22, thereby effectively preventing the connector 12 from interfering with the connector limiting device 14 or directly Component damage caused by collision.
如此一來,透過上述簡單的組裝操作,本發明係可大幅地簡化連接器限位裝置14與連接器12的組裝流程,除此之外,由於本發明係採用第二訊號傳輸線26、與主機板18分開設置的橋接板20,以及第一訊號傳輸線24之間的連接設計來建立主機板18與可抽換裝置16之間的高速訊號傳輸,以取代先前技術中所提到的利用主機板本身之板對板連接器與中間橋接板之插接以及中間橋接板上之傳輸埠與纜線之連接的設計,因此,伺服器10上針對可抽換裝置16之高速訊號傳輸的佈局及走線就可以不再受到主機板18空間的限制,藉此,在主機板18上也可佈設更多其他零件。另外,由於第一訊號傳輸線24以及第二訊號傳輸線26(其均為用來傳遞訊號的電纜線)的導電性能較易掌握,也就是其訊號的傳遞不至於受到傳遞路徑長度的影響而過度失真,舉例來說,若使用第一訊號傳輸線24以及第二訊號傳輸線26傳遞主機板18之北橋晶片與可抽換裝置16之間的迷你序列式小型電腦系統介面訊號將不會受到傳遞路徑長度的影響而過度失真,即第一訊號傳輸線24以及第二訊號傳輸線26所傳遞的訊號將能滿足主機板18上對於元件佈局和訊號相關線長、線寬、線距、阻抗、時序、電磁干擾等的要求。由於第一訊號傳輸線24以及第二訊號傳輸線26的佈設無需佔用過多的主機板18空間,因而不會受到主機板18的體積越來越小及其上的電子元件越來越密集的限制。綜上所述,透過上述設計,本發明係可有效地提升伺服器的設計彈性以及降低其製造成本。In this way, the present invention greatly simplifies the assembly process of the connector limiting device 14 and the connector 12 through the above simple assembly operation. In addition, since the present invention employs the second signal transmission line 26 and the host The bridge board 20 disposed separately from the board 18 and the connection between the first signal transmission lines 24 are designed to establish high speed signal transmission between the motherboard 18 and the replaceable device 16 in place of the motherboard used in the prior art. The design of the board-to-board connector and the intermediate bridge board and the connection between the transmission board and the cable on the intermediate bridge board, therefore, the layout and movement of the high-speed signal transmission for the replaceable device 16 on the server 10. The wire can no longer be limited by the space of the motherboard 18, whereby more other components can be placed on the motherboard 18. In addition, since the first signal transmission line 24 and the second signal transmission line 26 (both of which are used to transmit signals) have relatively good electrical conductivity, that is, the transmission of the signal is not excessively distorted by the length of the transmission path. For example, if the first signal transmission line 24 and the second signal transmission line 26 are used to transmit the mini-sequence small computer system interface signal between the north bridge chip of the motherboard 18 and the replaceable device 16, the transmission path length will not be affected. The effect is excessive distortion, that is, the signals transmitted by the first signal transmission line 24 and the second signal transmission line 26 can satisfy the component layout and signal related line length, line width, line spacing, impedance, timing, electromagnetic interference, etc. on the motherboard 18. Requirements. Since the arrangement of the first signal transmission line 24 and the second signal transmission line 26 does not need to occupy too much space of the motherboard 18, it is not limited by the smaller and smaller size of the motherboard 18 and the increasingly dense electronic components thereon. In summary, through the above design, the present invention can effectively improve the design flexibility of the server and reduce the manufacturing cost thereof.
值得一提的是,在實際應用中,本發明可採用第一訊號傳輸線與金手指接頭之中心軸線不共線的設計,舉例來說,請參閱第1圖以及第7圖,第7圖為第6圖之連接器12與連接器限位裝置14之部分側視圖,如第7圖所示,第一訊號傳輸線24係電連接於主機板18且電連接於橋接板24上與金手指接頭27之一中心軸線L不共線的位置,舉例來說,在此實施例中,橋接板24可具有一寬板部60以及自寬板部60向後延伸之一窄板部62而呈L型(但不受此限),訊號傳輸埠22係設置於寬板部60上,第一訊號傳輸線24係電連接於窄板部62以與金手指接頭27之中心軸線L不共線。如此一來,透過第一訊號傳輸線24與金手指接頭27之中心軸線L不共線以及上述容置框體30僅可相對於橫向導槽36進行在±Y軸方向上之有限度移動的設計(如第1圖所示),本發明可更進一步地避免第一訊號傳輸線24在對接連接器12與連接器限位裝置14的過程中直接受到來自連接器限位裝置14的正向撞擊而斷裂的情況發生。需注意的是,在實際應用中,本發明可僅採用第一訊號傳輸線24與金手指接頭27之中心軸線L不共線之設計,或者是可僅採用容置框體30僅可相對於橫向導槽36進行在±Y軸方向上之有限度移動的設計,藉以簡化伺服器10之結構設計。It is worth mentioning that, in practical applications, the present invention can adopt a design in which the first signal transmission line and the central axis of the gold finger joint are not collinear. For example, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 7 , and FIG. 7 FIG. 6 is a partial side view of the connector 12 and the connector limiting device 14. As shown in FIG. 7, the first signal transmission line 24 is electrically connected to the motherboard 18 and electrically connected to the bridge board 24 and the gold finger joint. A position where one of the center axes L is not collinear, for example, in this embodiment, the bridge plate 24 may have a wide plate portion 60 and a narrow plate portion 62 extending rearward from the wide plate portion 60 to be L-shaped. (But not limited thereto), the signal transmission port 22 is disposed on the wide plate portion 60, and the first signal transmission line 24 is electrically connected to the narrow plate portion 62 so as not to be collinear with the center axis L of the gold finger joint 27. In this way, the first signal transmission line 24 and the center axis L of the gold finger joint 27 are not collinear, and the accommodating frame 30 can only perform a limited movement in the ±Y-axis direction with respect to the lateral guide groove 36. (As shown in FIG. 1), the present invention can further prevent the first signal transmission line 24 from being directly impacted by the connector limiting device 14 during the process of docking the connector 12 and the connector limiting device 14. The breakage occurred. It should be noted that, in practical applications, the present invention may only adopt a design in which the first signal transmission line 24 and the central axis L of the gold finger joint 27 are not collinear, or only the housing frame 30 may be used only relative to the horizontal direction. The guide groove 36 is designed to have a limited degree of movement in the ±Y-axis direction, thereby simplifying the structural design of the servo 10.
除此之外,本發明也可採用第一訊號傳輸線與金手指接頭之中心軸線共線之設計,舉例來說,請參閱第1圖以及第8圖,第8圖為根據本發明之另一實施例所提出之一連接器12’與連接器限位裝置14之部分側視圖,在此實施例中所述之元件符號與上述實施例所述之元件符號相同者,代表其具有相同之結構或功能,此實施例與上述實施例的不同之處僅在第一訊號傳輸線與橋接板之間的連接設計。如第8圖所示,連接器12’包含主機板18(在第8圖中未顯示,其相關描述可參照上述實施例與第1圖)、一橋接板20’、訊號傳輸埠22,以及一第一訊號傳輸線24’,連接器限位裝置14包含第二訊號傳輸線26、托盤28(在第8圖中未顯示,其相關描述可參照上述實施例與第1圖),以及容置框體30,其中第一訊號傳輸線24’係電連接於主機板18且電連接於橋接板20’上與金手指接頭27之中心軸線L共線的位置。如此一來,透過上述容置框體30僅可相對於橫向導槽36進行在±Y軸方向上之有限度移動的設計(如第1圖所示)以提供連接緩衝功效,本發明可避免第一訊號傳輸線24’在對接連接器12’與連接器限位裝置14的過程中因受力過大而斷裂的情況發生。至於針對連接器12’之其他詳細描述,其係可參照上述實施例類推,於此不再贅述。In addition, the present invention can also adopt a design in which the first signal transmission line is co-linear with the central axis of the gold finger joint. For example, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 8 , and FIG. 8 is another according to the present invention. A partial side view of the connector 12' and the connector limiting device 14 is provided in the embodiment. The component symbols in this embodiment are the same as those in the above embodiment, and represent the same structure. Or function, this embodiment differs from the above embodiment only in the connection design between the first signal transmission line and the bridge board.

In this way, the design of the limited movement in the ±Y-axis direction (as shown in FIG. 1) can be performed only through the accommodating frame 30 through the accommodating frame 30 to provide a connection buffering effect, and the present invention can be avoided. The first signal transmission line 24' breaks due to excessive force during the process of docking the connector 12' and the connector limiting device 14. As for other detailed descriptions of the connector 12', reference may be made to the above embodiment, and details are not described herein.

The relative position of the connector ensures that the gold finger joint can be smoothly inserted into the signal transmission port, thereby effectively preventing the connector from being damaged due to assembly interference or direct collision between the connector and the limit device. Problem (such as signal transmission line break). In this way, the present invention greatly simplifies the assembly process of the connector limiting device and the connector through the above simple assembly operation. In addition, since the present invention uses a second signal transmission line, a bridge board disposed separately from the motherboard, and a connection design between the first signal transmission lines to establish high-speed signal transmission between the motherboard and the replaceable device, Therefore, the signal transmission is not excessively distorted by the length of the transmission path, and the layout of the first signal transmission line and the second signal transmission line does not need to occupy too much space of the motherboard, and thus is not subject to the smaller and smaller size of the motherboard.
