Description
本發明是有關於一種供電裝置，且特別是一種伺服器機架系統內的供電裝置。The present invention relates to a power supply device, and more particularly to a power supply device within a server rack system.
伺服器係為網路系統中服務各電腦之核心電腦，可提供網路使用者需要之磁碟與列印服務等功能，同時也可供各用戶端彼此分享網路環境內之各項資源。伺服器之基本架構和一般之個人電腦大致相同，是由中央處理器(CPU)、記憶體(Memory)及輸入/輸出(I/O)設備等部件所組成，並由匯流排(Bus)在內部將其連接起來，透過北橋晶片連接中央處理器和記憶體，而透過南橋晶片連接輸入/輸出設備等。伺服器按機箱結構來說大約經歷了三個演變過程：從早期之塔式機箱到強調集中性能之機架式、再到高密度計算方式之刀片伺服器。The server is the core computer that serves each computer in the network system. It can provide the functions of the disk and printing services required by the network users, and also allows each client to share resources in the network environment with each other. The basic structure of the server is roughly the same as that of a general personal computer. It consists of a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, and an input/output (I/O) device, and is connected by a bus. It is connected internally, connected to the central processing unit and memory through the north bridge chip, and connected to the input/output device through the south bridge chip. The server has undergone three evolutions in terms of chassis architecture: from early tower chassis to rack servers that emphasize centralized performance to high-density computing.
在此以機架伺服器為例，機架伺服器是一種外觀按照統一標準設計的伺服器，配合機櫃統一使用。可以說機架式是一種優化結構的塔式伺服器，它的設計宗旨主要是為了盡可能減少伺服器空間的佔用。很多專業網路設備都是採用機架式的結構，其多為扁平式，就如同抽屜一般，例如交換機、路由器、硬體防火牆這些。機架伺服器的寬度為19英寸，高度以U為單位(1U=1.75英寸=44.45毫米)，通常有1U，2U，3U，4U，5U，7U幾種標準的伺服器。Taking the rack server as an example, the rack server is a server designed to have a uniform appearance and is used in conjunction with the cabinet. It can be said that the rack type is an optimized structure of the tower server, and its design purpose is mainly to minimize the occupation of the server space. Many professional network devices are rack-mounted, mostly flat, like drawers, such as switches, routers, and hardware firewalls. The rack server has a width of 19 inches and a height in U (1U = 1.75 inches = 44.45 mm). There are usually 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U, 5U, 7U standard servers.
一般而言，位在機架內的伺服器單元(如上述交換機、路由器、硬體防火牆…等)，其多分別利用纜線連接在各個伺服器單元與電源供應模組之間，以統一由電源供應模組提供各個伺服器單元所需的電力。然而此舉勢必在機架內部需額外提供用以放置纜線的空間，以及抽取伺服器單元時預留給纜線隨著機箱移動的空間。如此一來，便容易造成機架內的空間配置與利用效率不佳。再者，隨著伺服器單元的數量增加，纜線的數量亦隨之提高，亦容易因纜線的雜亂程度而妨礙使用者操作。Generally speaking, a server unit located in a rack (such as the above-mentioned switch, router, hardware firewall, etc.) is connected by a cable between each server unit and a power supply module to be unified by The power supply module provides the power required by each server unit. However, this will inevitably require additional space for the cable to be placed inside the rack, and space reserved for the cable to move with the chassis when the server unit is extracted. As a result, it is easy to cause space allocation and utilization efficiency in the rack. Furthermore, as the number of server units increases, the number of cables increases, and the user's operation is easily hindered by the clutter of the cables.
本發明提供一種供電裝置機架與應用其之伺服器機架系統，其能易且有效率地電源供應單元在機架內的各設備之間進行電力傳輸。The present invention provides a power supply rack and a server rack system using the same, which can easily and efficiently power the power supply unit between devices in the rack.

為讓本發明之上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂，下文特舉實施例，並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。The above described features and advantages of the present invention will be more apparent from the following description.
圖1是依照本發明一實施例的一種伺服器機架系統的示意圖。圖2是圖1的伺服器機架系統中部分構件的示意圖。在圖2中僅繪示機架內部空間的部分構件，以能較為清楚地描述構件之間的相對關係。請同時參考圖1與圖2，在本實施例中，伺服器機架系統100包括一機架110，一電源供應單元120、多個伺服器單元130、一基座140以及一供電模組150。機架110具有多個層架式空間C1，電源供應單元120與伺服器單元130分別沿一橫軸H1滑動地插設在這些層架式空間C1中，即伺服器單元130與電源供應單元120分別設置在機架110中部的層架式空間C1的其中之一。在此僅繪示一個伺服器單元130與一個電源供應單元120，但本實施例並不以此為限，此外伺服器單元130亦可包括網絡交換控制單元或其他可適用於伺服器系統的相關電子設備，在此亦僅以伺服器單元130作為代表。1 is a schematic diagram of a server rack system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a schematic illustration of some of the components of the server rack system of FIG. 1. Only some of the components of the internal space of the rack are shown in FIG. 2 to more clearly describe the relative relationship between the components. Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 simultaneously, in the embodiment, the server rack system 100 includes a rack 110, a power supply unit 120, a plurality of server units 130, a base 140, and a power supply module 150. . The rack 110 has a plurality of shelf spaces C1. The power supply unit 120 and the server unit 130 are slidably inserted in the shelf space C1 along a horizontal axis H1, that is, the server unit 130 and the power supply unit 120. One of the shelf spaces C1 disposed in the middle of the rack 110 is separately provided. Only one server unit 130 and one power supply unit 120 are shown here, but the embodiment is not limited thereto, and the server unit 130 may also include a network switching control unit or other related system suitable for the server system. The electronic device is also represented here only by the server unit 130.
值得注意的是，基座140沿一縱軸V1組裝在機架110的頂部與底部之間，並穿過上述這些層架式空間C1。供電模組150沿縱軸V1設置在機架110的頂部與底部之間，其電性連接在電源供應單元120與伺服器單元130之間，以在此兩者之間傳送電力。換句話說，當伺服器單元130(或其他電子設備)沿橫軸H1插置於層架式空間C1後，供電模組150便在伺服器單元130(或其他電子設備)與電源供應單元120之間產生電性連接之關係，而將電源供應單元120所產生的電力經由供電模組150傳送至伺服器單元130，以讓伺服器單元130獲得使其得以運作的電力。It is to be noted that the base 140 is assembled between the top and bottom of the frame 110 along a longitudinal axis V1 and passes through the above-described shelf spaces C1. The power supply module 150 is disposed between the top and the bottom of the rack 110 along the vertical axis V1, and is electrically connected between the power supply unit 120 and the server unit 130 to transfer power therebetween. In other words, after the server unit 130 (or other electronic device) is inserted into the shelf space C1 along the horizontal axis H1, the power supply module 150 is at the server unit 130 (or other electronic device) and the power supply unit 120. The electrical connection relationship is generated, and the power generated by the power supply unit 120 is transmitted to the server unit 130 via the power supply module 150 to allow the server unit 130 to obtain power to operate it.
基於上述，本發明之伺服器機架系統100藉由配置在機架110內的供電模組150，而使伺服器單元130一旦組裝於機架110內的層架式空間C1後，便能與供電模組150產生電性連接之關係，而從電源供應單元120獲取電力。此舉讓本發明的伺服器機架系統100與習知技術相較之下，能省卻連接在電源供應單元120與各個伺服器單元130之間的纜線而讓機架110內具有較簡潔的佈局，亦能因而提高機架110內的空間利用率，更因此而避免過多纜線存在於機架110內而影響使用者正常操作伺服器機架系統100的情形發生。Based on the above, the server rack system 100 of the present invention enables the server unit 130 to be assembled with the rack space C1 in the rack 110 by the power supply module 150 disposed in the rack 110. The power supply module 150 generates an electrical connection relationship and acquires power from the power supply unit 120. This allows the server rack system 100 of the present invention to eliminate the cable connected between the power supply unit 120 and the various server units 130 and to provide a relatively simple design in the rack 110 as compared with the prior art. The layout can also increase the space utilization in the rack 110, and thus avoid excessive cable presence in the rack 110 and affect the user's normal operation of the server rack system 100.
圖3是圖2的伺服器機架系統中供電模組的示意圖。圖4是圖3的供電模組沿A-A’的剖面圖。圖5是圖3的供電模組沿B-B’的剖面圖。請同時參考圖2至圖5，在本實施例中，供電模組150包括依序疊置在基座140上的一第一導電板151、一絕緣層152與一第二導電板153，其中絕緣層152配置在第一導電板151與第二導電板153之間。再者，供電模組150還包括插設在第一導電板151上的一第一電源接線柱154，與插設在第二導電板153上的一第二電源接線柱155，其中第一電源接線柱154與第二電源接線柱155分別藉由第一纜線156與第二纜線157而連接機架110內的電源供應單元120，以獲取電力供應。3 is a schematic diagram of a power supply module in the server rack system of FIG. 2. Figure 4 is a cross-sectional view of the power supply module of Figure 3 taken along line A-A'. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of the power supply module of Figure 3 taken along line B-B'. Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 5 , in this embodiment, the power supply module 150 includes a first conductive plate 151 , an insulating layer 152 and a second conductive plate 153 , which are sequentially stacked on the base 140 . The insulating layer 152 is disposed between the first conductive plate 151 and the second conductive plate 153. Furthermore, the power supply module 150 further includes a first power supply terminal 154 inserted in the first conductive plate 151, and a second power supply terminal 155 inserted in the second conductive plate 153, wherein the first power supply The terminal 154 and the second power terminal 155 are connected to the power supply unit 120 in the rack 110 by the first cable 156 and the second cable 157, respectively, to obtain power supply.
換句話說，第一纜線156與第二纜線157的一端電性連接至電源供應單元120，而第一纜線156的另一端鎖附至第一導電板151上的第一電源接線柱154，第二纜線157的另一端鎖附至第二導電板153上的第二電源接線柱155。In other words, one end of the first cable 156 and the second cable 157 are electrically connected to the power supply unit 120, and the other end of the first cable 156 is locked to the first power terminal on the first conductive plate 151. 154, the other end of the second cable 157 is locked to the second power terminal 155 on the second conductive plate 153.
此外，供電模組150還包括多個輸出接腳對158，且輸出接腳對158的突起方向朝向層架式空間C1。另一方面，各輸出接腳對158包括插設在第一導電板151上的一第一輸出接腳158a，與插設在第二導電板153上的一第二輸出接腳158b。各輸出接腳對158用以連接到機架110內的伺服器單元130，以傳送電力至伺服器單元130。In addition, the power supply module 150 further includes a plurality of output pin pairs 158, and the protruding direction of the output pin pairs 158 faces the shelf space C1. On the other hand, each of the output pin pairs 158 includes a first output pin 158a that is inserted into the first conductive plate 151 and a second output pin 158b that is inserted into the second conductive plate 153. Each output pin pair 158 is used to connect to the server unit 130 within the rack 110 to transfer power to the server unit 130.
進一步地說，在本實施例中，各輸出接腳對158的第一輸出接腳158a是穿過絕緣層152和第二導電板153，而與第二輸出接腳158b同向地突出於第二導電板153外。再者，為避免第一導電板151與第二導電板153間電性連接，因此第一導電板151的表面上和第二導電板153的表面上均覆蓋有絕緣材料，且第二導電板153內設置有環繞第一輸出接腳158a的一環型絕緣體153a，以達到隔絕第一輸出接腳158a和第二導電板153的電性接觸的效果。Further, in this embodiment, the first output pin 158a of each output pin pair 158 passes through the insulating layer 152 and the second conductive plate 153, and protrudes in the same direction as the second output pin 158b. The two conductive plates 153 are outside. In addition, in order to avoid electrical connection between the first conductive plate 151 and the second conductive plate 153, the surface of the first conductive plate 151 and the surface of the second conductive plate 153 are covered with an insulating material, and the second conductive plate A ring-shaped insulator 153a surrounding the first output pin 158a is disposed in the 153 to achieve the effect of isolating the electrical contact between the first output pin 158a and the second conductive plate 153.
