具体实施方式
下面将结合本申请实施方式中的附图,对本申请实施方式中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述。图中箭头所表示的是气流流向的路线。
在本申请的描述中,需要说明的是,除非另有明确的规定和限定,术语“安装”、“连接”应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或一体地连接;可以是机械连接,也可以是电连接或可以相互通讯;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通或两个元件的相互作用关系。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请中的具体含义。
如图1至图2所示,本申请提供一种具有平行背板的电子设备,电子设备包括背板模组10、前插模组20以及后插模组30。所述前插模组20及后插模组30分别位于所述背板模组10的相对两侧。背板模组10连接前插模组20与后插模组30,以实现前插模组20与后插模组30之间的数据信号和/或控制信号等信号的传输。
所述背板模组10包括多块并行间隔排布的背板11。所述背板11为平板状,多块背板11平行设置,背板11的排布方向与背板11所在平面呈角度。本申请一实施例中,多块背板11的排布方向与背板11所在的平面垂直,即多块所述背板11的中心的连线与所述背板11所在平面垂直。多块所述背板11并行间隔排布,即指多块背板11并排设置,且相邻的背板11之间有一定的间距,且相邻的背板11之间形成间隔通道12,所述前插模组20与所述后插模组30分别位于间隔通道12中气流流动方向的两端。通过在相邻的背板11之间形成间隔通道12,使所述背板模组10两侧的气流能够通过间隔通道12进行良好的流通,避免背板11遮挡气流流通,以使得电子设备内部具有良好的散热效果。相对于在背板11上设流通孔,以通过背板11上的流通孔实现背板11两侧的前插模组20与后插模组30之间的气流流通散热的方式来说,不需要在所述背板11上设置流通孔,减小背板11的制作难度。同时,不存在前插模组20和/或后插模组30中功能单元的数量增加而增加所述前插模组20和/或后插模组30与背板11连接时占用背板11面积较大,进而压缩背板11上的流通孔的大小,使得前插模组20与后插模组30之间的气流流通受背板11遮挡而不能良好散热 的问题。
所述背板11包括基板以及设置于基板上的连接线路,以通过所述连接线路实现前插模组20及后插模组30之间的连接。本申请中,所述前插模组20与所述后插模组30之间的连接为通信连接,即所述前插模组20与所述后插模组30之间通过所述连接线路连接后,所述前插模组20与后插模组30之间能够通过所述传输线路进行数据信息和/或控制信息等信息的传输。本申请中,所述连接线路可以为金属走线,以传输携带有数据信息和/或控制信息等信息的电信号;在一些实施例中,所述连接线路也可以为用于传输光信号的光纤等,以传输携带有数据信息和/或控制信息等信息的光信号。本实施例中,所述背板11为长方形的PCB板,所述连接线路可以为金属走线。可以理解的是,在本申请中的背板11也可以为任意形状,在此不进行限定。在本申请的一些实施例中,所述背板11的外表面上还可以设置各种电子元器件,以扩展所述背板11的功能。例如,所述电子元器件可以设置微型开关,以通过所述微型开关控制其所在连接线路的连通或断开;或者,所述电子元器件还可以为微型存储芯片等,所述存储芯片内存储其所在背板11的制造信息等,以便于后续的维修更换等。

所述背板11上连接有第一连接器13以及第二连接器14。具体的,所述第一连接器13连接于所述第一侧边111侧,所述第二连接器12连接于所述第二侧边112侧。每块所述背板11上能够连接一个或者多个间隔设置的第一连接器13,以及一个或者多个间隔设置的第二连接器14。其中,多个第一连接器13沿所述第一侧边111的延伸方向间隔设置,多个第二连接器14沿第二侧边112的延伸方向间隔设置。
请再次参阅图1,本申请一些实施例中,相邻的背板11上的所述第一连接器13在第一侧边111的延伸方向上错开设置,即相邻的背板11上的第一连接器13在背板11的排布方向上的正投影不重合。可以理解的是,在本申请的一些实施例中,相邻的背板11上的第一连接器13也可以相邻设置,即相邻的背板11上的第一连接器13在背板11的排布方向上的正投影也可以重合。
请一并参阅图1及图2,所述前插模组20包括多个并行间隔排布的第一单元21。所述第一单元21的排布方向与所述背板11的排布方向相同,且每个所述第一单元21与一块所述背板11进行连接。其中,所述第一单元21连接于所述背板11的一侧具体是指所述第一单元21与所述背板11进行通信连接,以使信号能够在所述第一单元21及所述背板11之间进行传输。本实施例中,所述第一单元21为板状,每个所述第一单元21朝向所述背板 的一侧设有第一连接端口,所述第一连接端口与第一连接器13进行可拆卸连接,使得所述第一单元21能够与所述背板11容易进行可拆卸连接,从而便于第一单元21的更换维修。本申请一些实施例中,相邻的所述背板11上连接的所述第一单元21在所述第一侧边111的延伸方向上交错设置。具体的,相邻的所述背板11上连接的所述第一单元21在所述背板11的高度方向上错开设置,使得相邻的背板11之间的距离能够尽可能的小,进而减小所述背板模组10占用的面积。本申请一实施例中,所述背板11的高度方向为所述第一侧边111及第二侧边112的延伸方向。由于相邻的背板11上的第一连接器13交错设置,使得相邻的两个背板11上连接的所述第一单元21交错设置。本实施例中,每块所述背板11上连接有一个所述第一连接器13,以使得每块背板11上仅连接有一个所述第一单元21。可以理解的是,在本申请的其它实施例中,每块背板11上连接有多个间隔设置的第一连接器13时,每块背板11上可以连接多个所述第一单元21,且所述第一单元21间隔设置,以使得相邻的第一单元21之间具有空隙,气流能够在所述空隙之间流动,以实现较好的散热。
请一并参阅图1及图2,所述后插模组30包括多个并行间隔排布的第二单元31。具体的,多个第二单元31的排布方向与多个背板11的排布方向交叉,即多个第二单元31的排布方向与多个背板11的排布方向呈一定的角度。本申请一实施例中,所述多个第二单元31的排布方向与多个背板11的排布方向垂直。每个所述第二单元31与所述背板11背离所述第一单元21的一侧连接。其中,所述第二单元31与所述背板11背离所述第一单元21的一侧连接具体是指所述第二单元31与所述背板11进行通信连接,以使信号能够在所述第二单元31及所述背板11之间进行传输。以通过所述背板11连接所述第一单元21与所述第二单元31,以使所述第一单元21与第二单元31之间能够进行通信,以传输包括但不限于数据信号和/或控制信号等信号。本申请一实施例中,所述第二单元31为板状,所述第二单元31朝向所述背板11的一侧设有第二连接端口,所述第二连接端口与所述第二连接器14可拆卸连接,使得所述第二单元31能够与所述背板11容易进行可拆卸连接,从而便于第二单元31的更换维修。本申请中,每块背板11上连接有多个间隔设置的第二连接器14,使得每块背板11上可以通过所述第二连接器14连接多个所述第二单元31,且所述第二单元31间隔设置,以使得相邻的第二单元31之间具有空隙,气流能够在所述空隙之间流动,以实现较好的散热。
本申请一些实施例中,每个所述第一单元21与一块所述背板11的一侧连接,每个所述第二单元31与所有的所述背板11均连接,从而使得每个所述第二单元31均能够通过所述背板11与所有的所述第一单元21进行连接。当所述具有平行背板的电子设备为存储器时,所述第一单元21可以为硬盘等存储单元,所述第二单元31可以为控制器,每个所述控制器均能够访问所有的硬盘。其中,所述硬盘可以为固态硬盘(Solid State Drives,SSD)、混合硬盘(Hybrid Hard Drive,HHD)、传统硬盘(Hard Disk Drive,HDD)等各种类型的硬盘。具体的,每个所述第二单元31朝向所述背板11的一侧设有多个间隔设置的第二连接端口,每个第二连接端口与一个所述背板11对应并连接至所述背板11上的第二连接器14,从而实现每个所述第二单元31与所有的所述背板11均通信连接。可以理解的是,在本申请的其它实施例中,每个第二单元31也可以与部分的所述背板11通信连接,使得所述第二单元31均能够通过所述背板11与部分的所述第一单元21进行通信连接。具体的, 每个所述第二单元31朝向所述背板11的一侧设有与背板模组10中的对应的几块背板11上的第二连接器14对应的第二连接端口,每个第二连接端口与对应的一块所述背板11上的第二连接器14连接,从而实现每个所述第二单元31与背板模组10中的几块背板11连接。
进一步的,本申请中,每块所述背板11与所有的所述第二单元31连接。因此,所有的所述第二单元31均能够通过所述背板11与每个所述第一单元21进行通信连接,以传输数据信号和/或控制信号等。当所述具有平行背板的电子设备为存储器时,所述第一单元21为硬盘等存储单元,所述第二单元31为控制器,所有的所述控制器均能够访问同一个硬盘,从而能够实现所述存储器的多控共享。图1所示实施例中,所述控制器为四个,从而能够实现四控共享。其中,所述控制器为具有控制电路的PCB板或者控制芯片。所述硬盘可以为固态硬盘(Solid State Drives,SSD)、混合硬盘(Hybrid Hard Drive,HHD)、传统硬盘(Hard Disk Drive,HDD)等各种类型的硬盘。具体的,所述第二单元31与所述背板11正交,且所述第二单元31的长度大于等于所述背板模组10在背板11的排布方向上的长度,从而使得所述第二单元31与每块所述背板11均相交,并在所述第二单元31与背板11相交的位置连接,从而实现每块所述背板11与所有的所述第二单元31连接。本申请一实施例中,每块所述背板11朝向第二单元31的一侧沿第一侧边111的延伸方向间隔设有数个第二连接器14,所述第二单元31与第二连接器14一一对应并连接,从而实现每块所述背板11与所有的所述第二单元31连接。可以理解的是,本申请的一些实施例中,每块所述背板11也可以与后插模组30中的几个第二单元31连接,即每块所述背板11不与后插模组30中全部的第二单元31连接,以使得第二单元31能够通过背板11连接至对应的第一单元21。例如,所述背板模组10中有三块背板11,三块背板11分别为背板A、背板B及背板C,所述后插模组30中具有三个第二单元31,三个所述第二单元31分别为第二单元D、第二单元E及第二单元F,所述背板A与第二单元D连接,所述背板B与第二单元D及第二单元E连接,所述背板C与第二单元F及第二单元E连接。

请参阅图7,本申请一些实施例中,所述电子设备为存储设备,所述存储设备包括背 板70、硬盘80及控制器90。其中,背板70为图1所示电子设备中背板11的一种实施例,硬盘80为图1所示的电子设备中第一单元21的一种实施例,控制器90为图1所示的电子设备中第二单元31的一种实施例。所述硬盘80与控制器90通过背板70进行通信连接,以实现所述硬盘80与所述控制器90之间的数据信号和/或控制信号的传输。例如,在图8所示的数据读写场景中,当客户端需要获取硬盘80中的数据时,则向控制器90发送读取数据的指令,控制器90接收该读取数据的指令后,将获取数据的指令通过背板70发送至硬盘80以从硬盘80中获取指定数据,该指令数据信息通过背板70发送至控制器90,再通过控制器90将指令数据发送给客户端;当客户端需要存储数据进入硬盘80时,则向控制器90发送写数据的指令,该写数据的指令携带待存储的数据,控制器90接收该写数据的指令后,则从该写数据的指令中获取待存储的数据,并通过背板70发送至硬盘80中以进行存储。
请参阅图9,本申请另一实施例中,客户端是通过云网络向控制器90发送读数据的指令或者写数据的指令。当控制器90通过云网络接收该读数据的指令,并从对应的硬盘80中获取该数据后,则通过云网络将该数据发送给客户端;当控制器90通过云网络接收该写数据的指令后,则将从该写数据的指令中获取的待存储的数据存储在对应的硬盘80中。
需要说明的是,图8-图9所示的场景中,仅以一个客户端、一个控制器90和一个硬盘80之间的交互为例来进行介绍,不应对本申请实施例的应用场景造成限定。在实际的数据读写场景中,可以包括多个客户端、多个控制器90和多个硬盘80。例如,请参阅图7,本申请一些实施例中,所述存储设备内的控制器90、硬盘80及背板70的连接结构与图1中的第二单元31、第一单元21及背板11的连接结构相同,控制器90、背板70及硬盘80均可以为多个。多个所述背板70并行间隔排布,相邻的所述背板70之间形成间隔通道71。多个硬盘80并行间隔排布,其排布方向与背板70的排布方向相同,并且,每个硬盘80连接于背板70的一侧。多个控制器90并行间隔排布,且其排列方向与背板70的排列方向相交,具体是指所述控制器90与背板70正交设置或者呈一定的角度设置。并且,每个所述控制器90与所述背板70背离所述硬盘80的一侧连接,以通过背板70实现所述硬盘80与所述控制器90的连接。
通过将多块所述背板70并行间隔排布,使相邻的背板70之间形成间隔通道71,使得气流能够容易通过所述间隔通道进行流通,避免背板70对空气流通的遮挡,以使得存储设备内部具有良好的散热效果。并且,所述背板70的并行间隔方向与所述硬盘80的并行间隔方向相同,并将所述硬盘80与所述控制器90分别连接于所述背板70相对的两侧,因此,不需要进行避位,能够提高电子设备中硬盘80和/或控制器90的密度,相对于现有技术来说,通过所述背板70能够更多的连接所述硬盘80及控制器90,提高所述存储设备的工作能力。
进一步的,一些实施例中,每个所述控制器90与所有的所述背板70均连接,即每个控制器90均能够通过背板70访问任意的一个硬盘80。一些实施例中,每个背板70均能够与所有的控制器90连接,即使得多个控制器90能够访问同一个硬盘80,以实现多控连接。因此,本申请中,控制器90与硬盘80可以采用集中式存储架构,也可以采用分布式存储架构。当为集中式存储架构时,一份数据是存储在多个硬盘80中的一个硬盘80中。 本申请一实施例中,当将一份数据存储于一个硬盘80中时,由于多个控制器90能够访问同一个硬盘80,即与任意的控制器90通信的用户均能够获取同一硬盘80中的数据,或者向同一硬盘80中写入数据。例如,一实施例中,视频数据写入了硬盘A中,控制器A、控制器B及控制器C均通过背板连接至该硬盘A中,使得通过控制器A、控制器B或控制器C均能够读取硬盘A中的视频数据信息,即使得用户能够通过控制器A、控制器B及控制器C中任意一个控制器均能够获取硬盘A中的视频数据;当为分布式存储架构时,可以将一份数据分成多个小份,并生成与每小份数据对应的校验码,将每小份数据与对应的校验码分别存储在多个硬盘中。本申请中,由于每个控制器90均能够与所有的背板70通信连接,以通过背板70访问任意的一个硬盘80,使得任意一个控制器90能够通过背板70将指令扇出至多个硬盘80中,以从多个硬盘80中获取小份数据,并将从各个硬盘80中获取的小份数据合并得到一份完整的数据;或者,能够将一份数据分成多份并分别写入多个硬盘80中。例如,将用户A的视频数据分为视频数据1、视频数据2及视频数据3,并生成与视频数据1、视频数据2及视频数据3分别对应的校验码,分别为校验码1、校验码2及校验码3,然后将视频数据1和校验码1存储在硬盘1中,将视频数据2和校验码2存储在硬盘2中,将视频数据3和校验码3存储在硬盘3中。当某个控制器需要读取该视频数据时,可发送读数据的指令,通过背板将该指令扇出到硬盘1、硬盘2及硬盘3,以从该3个硬盘中获取视频数据1、视频数据2及视频数据3以及校验码1、校验码2及校验码3,然后该控制器将视频数据1、视频数据2及视频数据3以及校验码1、校验码2及校验码3进行处理,例如,合并处理,最终获取该视频数据。
