Description
本揭露關於一種計算裝置,特別是關於自電腦系統拆卸擴充卡的系統。 The present disclosure relates to a computing device, in particular to a system for removing an expansion card from a computer system.
在許多電腦系統中將擴充卡用於不同的目的,舉例來說補充處理(例如圖像處理)、網路介面、外圍設備介面、儲存以及其他用途。一多用途的主機板或基板可以透過額外特定組合的擴充卡,簡單且快速的配置用於特殊的目或用例。另外,該系統可以透過簡單地拆卸以及以新的擴充卡更換已存在的擴充卡來快速重新調整用途。此外,擴充卡的失效可以透過拆卸或是更換失效的擴充卡來快速的補救。 In many computer systems, expansion cards are used for different purposes, such as supplementary processing (such as image processing), network interface, peripheral device interface, storage, and other purposes. A multi-purpose motherboard or base board can be easily and quickly configured for special purposes or use cases through additional expansion cards of a specific combination. In addition, the system can be quickly repurposed by simply disassembling and replacing existing expansion cards with new ones. In addition, the failure of the expansion card can be quickly remedied by removing or replacing the failed expansion card.
許多種類的擴充卡介面存在,例如常用的標準介面PCIe(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)。儘管擴充卡介面可能採用不同的設計參數,但垂直擴充槽為其中重要的設計參數。垂直擴充槽允許將具有邊緣連接器的擴充卡安裝並由擴充槽所捕獲,從而使擴充卡垂直於主機板而固定,垂直擴充槽使的多個擴充卡得以在整個主機板的寬度上緊密的配置。另外,使用垂直擴充槽允許每個擴充卡在主機板邊緣佔據一定的高度,從而允許通過主機板所在的機架看到及/或 觸及外部連接埠或其他接口元件,舉例來說,一網路介面擴充卡可包含數個堆疊的網路端口。 Many types of expansion card interfaces exist, such as the commonly used standard interface PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express). Although the expansion card interface may adopt different design parameters, the vertical expansion slot is an important design parameter. The vertical expansion slot allows the expansion card with edge connector to be installed and captured by the expansion slot, so that the expansion card is fixed perpendicular to the motherboard. The vertical expansion slot allows multiple expansion cards to be tightly spaced across the width of the motherboard. Configuration. In addition, the use of vertical expansion slots allows each expansion card to occupy a certain height on the edge of the motherboard, allowing viewing and/or viewing through the rack where the motherboard is located. Touching external ports or other interface components, for example, a network interface expansion card can include several stacked network ports.
***及拆卸擴充卡是一種常見的手動操作,工程師及用戶可以手動將擴充卡***擴充槽以及手動將擴充卡從擴充槽中拆卸。用戶經常將擴充卡相對於擴充槽傾斜以拆卸擴充卡,這樣的操作可能損傷擴充卡的電路板、損傷擴充卡或擴充槽的電性接點以及損傷擴充槽的機械結構。 Inserting and removing the expansion card is a common manual operation. Engineers and users can manually insert the expansion card into the expansion slot and manually remove the expansion card from the expansion slot. Users often tilt the expansion card relative to the expansion slot to disassemble the expansion card. Such an operation may damage the circuit board of the expansion card, damage the electrical contacts of the expansion card or the expansion slot, and damage the mechanical structure of the expansion slot.
儘管擴充卡及擴充槽被設計為具有一定的機械強度,但是依然存在很大的風險損壞擴充卡或擴充槽,特別是在拆卸擴充卡的過程中。進一步地,隨著高密度伺服器(high-density servers)的需求增加,存在著密排(close-packed)擴充槽的需求。當擴充卡以密排擴充槽的方式安裝時,在拆卸擴充卡時損壞一或多個擴充卡的風險會更高。如果擴充卡被損壞,其需要被維修或替換。如果擴充槽被損壞,考量到實際成本以及失去伺服器的時間,維修或是替換的成本可能會極為昂貴。 Although the expansion card and expansion slot are designed to have a certain degree of mechanical strength, there is still a great risk of damaging the expansion card or expansion slot, especially during the process of disassembling the expansion card. Furthermore, as the demand for high-density servers increases, there is a demand for close-packed expansion slots. When the expansion card is installed in a densely packed expansion slot, the risk of damaging one or more expansion cards when the expansion card is removed is higher. If the expansion card is damaged, it needs to be repaired or replaced. If the expansion slot is damaged, considering the actual cost and the time of losing the server, the cost of repair or replacement may be extremely expensive.

本揭露的實施例相關於一種釋放機構,用於安全且有效率的自計算裝置拆卸擴充卡。釋放機構可以安裝於一主機板的擴充槽的周圍,以及可以包含一允許觸及擴充槽的開口,以便在其中安裝擴充卡。當需要拆卸擴充卡時,釋放機構的一把柄可以被拉起,因而導致釋放機構的接觸表面以相等的作用力將擴充卡推離擴充槽,因此無須傾斜擴充卡。 The disclosed embodiment is related to a release mechanism for safely and efficiently removing the expansion card from the computing device. The release mechanism can be installed around an expansion slot of a motherboard, and can include an opening that allows access to the expansion slot for installing expansion cards therein. When the expansion card needs to be disassembled, a handle of the release mechanism can be pulled up, which causes the contact surface of the release mechanism to push the expansion card away from the expansion slot with equal force, so there is no need to tilt the expansion card.
擴充卡例如是PCIe(Peripheral Component Interconnect Express)卡,通常用於擴充計算裝置的功能,例如伺服器或是家用電腦。擴充卡以擴充卡的接口(例如金手指接口或其他)***擴充槽的方式來安裝於擴充槽。因此,擴充卡的電性接點與擴充槽的電性接點抵接,以在擴充卡和電腦設備的主機板(例如:主板)之間提供電性耦接。在本揭露中所使用的術語主機板可以是計算裝置的主板。在本揭露中所使 用的術語主機板可以適當地代指任何包括擴充槽的印刷電路板(PCB),其中擴展卡可以安裝在該擴展槽中。 The expansion card is, for example, a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) card, which is usually used to expand the functions of a computing device, such as a server or a home computer. The expansion card is installed in the expansion slot by inserting the expansion card interface (such as golden finger interface or others) into the expansion slot. Therefore, the electrical contacts of the expansion card abut against the electrical contacts of the expansion slot to provide electrical coupling between the expansion card and the motherboard (such as the motherboard) of the computer device. The term motherboard used in this disclosure may be the motherboard of a computing device. Used in this disclosure The term motherboard used can appropriately refer to any printed circuit board (PCB) that includes an expansion slot in which an expansion card can be installed.
當安裝時,部分擴充卡透過電腦設備機殼上的開口提供面向外部的介面。舉例來說,一用於顯示卡的擴充卡可以在從機殼背面朝外的介面面板中提供一或多個影像埠(例如:一HDMI(High Definition Multimedia Interface)埠)。這樣的介面面板通常位於擴展卡的第一終端(例如:後端)。該擴充卡包含一平坦或大致為平坦的印刷電路板(PCB),具有至少兩個相對的終端(例如:前端和後端)和兩個相關的平坦或大致為平坦的側面(例如:第一側面和第二側面)。 When installed, some expansion cards provide an external-facing interface through openings in the computer equipment casing. For example, an expansion card for a display card can provide one or more video ports (for example, an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port) in the interface panel facing outward from the back of the case. Such an interface panel is usually located at the first terminal (for example, the back end) of the expansion card. The expansion card includes a flat or substantially flat printed circuit board (PCB) with at least two opposite terminals (for example: front and rear) and two related flat or substantially flat sides (for example: first Side and second side).
一般來說,擴充槽的方向允許擴充卡在垂直於主機板平面或表面的方向上安裝。傳統上來說,在完全從擴充槽中拆卸接口前,需透過傾斜擴充卡以從擴充槽中拆卸擴展卡接口的一端以拆卸安裝在擴充槽中的擴充卡,這樣的傾斜技術經常被使用,因為只需要用戶操作擴充卡的相對終端,與擴充卡的側面相比,相對端通常更容易觸及。不幸的是,這樣的傾斜技術可能損壞擴充卡及/或擴充槽,這可能導致可觀的維修或更換費用以及不希望的停機時間。 Generally speaking, the direction of the expansion slot allows the expansion card to be installed in a direction perpendicular to the plane or surface of the motherboard. Traditionally, before completely removing the interface from the expansion slot, it is necessary to tilt the expansion card to remove one end of the expansion card interface from the expansion slot to remove the expansion card installed in the expansion slot. This tilting technique is often used because The user only needs to operate the opposite end of the expansion card, which is usually easier to reach than the side of the expansion card. Unfortunately, such tilting techniques can damage expansion cards and/or expansion slots, which can result in considerable repair or replacement costs and undesirable downtime.
隨著新的計算需求,特別是與5G無線相關的需求的出現,需要高密度的計算裝置。一般來說,這樣的裝置在擴充卡以及相鄰元件(例如:其他的擴充卡、電源供應器、機殼壁面、風扇模組、通風管或其他計算裝置的原件)之間保留很小的空間。因此,當擴充卡附近的空閒空間減少時,觸及及抓取擴充卡的能力便會受到限制,在這 樣的結果下,擴充卡需要使用傾斜技術來拆卸,如此導致了不希望的損壞、花費以及停機時間。 With the emergence of new computing requirements, especially those related to 5G wireless, high-density computing devices are required. Generally speaking, such devices leave little space between expansion cards and adjacent components (for example: other expansion cards, power supplies, cabinet walls, fan modules, ventilation ducts, or other original computing devices). . Therefore, when the free space near the expansion card decreases, the ability to reach and grab the expansion card will be limited. As a result, the expansion card needs to be removed using tilting technology, which leads to undesirable damage, cost, and downtime.
本揭露的一些方面及特徵相關於一種釋放機構,該釋放機構可以被安裝於主機板上,例如相鄰於擴展槽或其周圍,以促使安全且有效率地釋放擴充卡。釋放裝置可以包含一促動器,例如一把柄,可以被促動(例如:拉、推、按壓或轉動)來使釋放機構的接觸表面(例如:機械接觸表面)將擴充卡推離擴充槽。在本揭露中所使用的術語「接觸表面」可以代指與擴充卡接合以向擴充卡提供作用力的表面或表面的一部分。在本揭露的一些實施例中,接觸表面可以在擴充槽相對兩側的位置接觸擴充卡。在本揭露的一些實施例中,每個接觸表面可以被配置為在擴充卡上提供相同的作用力,從而以相同的方式將擴充卡推離擴充槽而不會傾斜擴充卡。在本揭露的一些實施例中,接觸表面可以被配置為以或至少以傾斜10°、9°、8°、7°、6°、5°、4°、3°、2°或1°將擴充卡推離擴充槽。 Some aspects and features of the present disclosure are related to a release mechanism that can be installed on the motherboard, such as adjacent to or around the expansion slot, to facilitate safe and efficient release of the expansion card. The release device may include an actuator, such as a handle, which can be actuated (e.g., pulled, pushed, pressed, or rotated) to cause the contact surface (e.g., mechanical contact surface) of the release mechanism to push the expansion card away from the expansion slot. The term "contact surface" used in this disclosure may refer to a surface or part of a surface that is engaged with an expansion card to provide force to the expansion card. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the contact surface can contact the expansion card at positions on opposite sides of the expansion slot. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, each contact surface can be configured to provide the same force on the expansion card, thereby pushing the expansion card away from the expansion slot in the same manner without tilting the expansion card. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the contact surface can be configured to tilt at or at least 10°, 9°, 8°, 7°, 6°, 5°, 4°, 3°, 2° or 1°. Push the expansion card away from the expansion slot.
每個接觸表面可以被定位以接觸擴充卡的一接收表面。接收表面可以為任何可適用於擴充卡的表面,但通常為擴充卡的印刷電路板的底部邊緣。在本揭露的一些實施例中,接觸表面的形狀可以與擴充卡的底部邊緣保持一致,舉例來說,接觸表面可以包含背脊,該背脊的寬度略大於擴充卡的印刷電路板的寬度,允許當接觸表面向擴充卡提供作用力時,將擴充卡安裝在背脊中。 Each contact surface can be positioned to contact a receiving surface of the expansion card. The receiving surface can be any surface suitable for expansion cards, but is usually the bottom edge of the printed circuit board of the expansion card. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the shape of the contact surface may be consistent with the bottom edge of the expansion card. For example, the contact surface may include a ridge whose width is slightly larger than the width of the printed circuit board of the expansion card, allowing When the contact surface provides force to the expansion card, install the expansion card in the spine.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,接觸表面可以是分離的元件,其透過促動器的促動(例如:拉動把柄)被同時操作。在本揭露的一些實施例中,接觸表面可以是位於各別位置的單個連續元件。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the contact surface may be a separate element, which can be simultaneously operated by the actuation of an actuator (for example, pulling a handle). In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the contact surface may be a single continuous element located at a separate location.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,該促動器可以為或可耦接至位於釋放機構的機殼內的一滑動件,該滑動件可以在第一位置以及第二位置間線性地移動。在第一位置時,該滑動件可允許接觸表面掉落、縮回或以其他方式增加接觸表面和擴充卡之間的距離。在第二位置時,該滑動件可引起接觸表面延伸或以其他方式移動以使接觸表面向擴充卡提供作用力,以使擴充卡遠離擴充槽。在本揭露的一實施例中,接觸表面可以是接觸元件的暴露表面,其可以包含一或多個斜面,該斜面與滑動件的一或多個斜面互相作用以使接觸表面遠離主機板(例如:朝向擴充卡)。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the actuator may be or may be coupled to a sliding member located in the housing of the release mechanism, and the sliding member may linearly move between the first position and the second position. In the first position, the slider can allow the contact surface to fall, retract or otherwise increase the distance between the contact surface and the expansion card. In the second position, the sliding member can cause the contact surface to extend or move in other ways so that the contact surface provides force to the expansion card, so that the expansion card is away from the expansion slot. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the contact surface may be an exposed surface of the contact element, which may include one or more inclined surfaces that interact with one or more inclined surfaces of the sliding member to keep the contact surface away from the main board (for example, : Towards the expansion card).
在本揭露的一些實施例中,可以使用一或多個偏移機構來推動接觸表面(例如:接觸元件)使之縮回或朝主機板移動。在這樣的實施例中,提供到促動器(例如:把柄或滑動件)的作用力足以克服偏移機構的偏移作用力,從而使接觸表面遠離主機板。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, one or more offset mechanisms may be used to push the contact surface (for example, the contact element) to retract or move toward the motherboard. In such an embodiment, the force provided to the actuator (e.g., handle or slider) is sufficient to overcome the biasing force of the biasing mechanism, thereby moving the contact surface away from the motherboard.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,釋放機構可以提供足夠的作用力至擴充卡,以從擴充槽中完全拆卸擴充卡,儘管並非所有的實施例都有此需求。在本揭露的一些實施例中,釋放機構可以提供足夠的作用力以從擴充槽中拆卸擴充卡。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the release mechanism can provide sufficient force to the expansion card to completely remove the expansion card from the expansion slot, although not all embodiments have this requirement. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the release mechanism can provide sufficient force to remove the expansion card from the expansion slot.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,釋放機構的促動器(例如:把柄)可以被定位在安裝時延伸到擴充卡的邊緣(例如:前邊緣)之外。在 本揭露的一些實施例中,釋放機構可以具有不同的尺寸,允許根據特定目的(例如:特定的擴充卡)選擇所需的尺寸,以在安裝擴充卡之前安裝到主機板上。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the actuator (for example, the handle) of the release mechanism may be positioned beyond the edge (for example: the front edge) of the expansion card during installation. in In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the release mechanism may have different sizes, allowing the required size to be selected according to a specific purpose (for example, a specific expansion card), so as to be installed on the motherboard before the expansion card is installed.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,釋放機構可拆卸地耦接主機板,例如透過使用可釋放的掛鉤設計成與主機板上的孔(例如:開口、孔或切口)接合的可拆卸掛勾。其他耦接技術可用於將釋放裝置固定至主機板。一般來說,釋放機構可以設計為適配於擴充槽的周圍,在這樣的實施例中,釋放機構可以是包括開口的形狀,透過該開口可觸及擴充槽。然而,在一些實施例中,釋放機構可以安裝在擴充槽附近,而不必圍繞擴充槽。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the release mechanism is detachably coupled to the motherboard, for example, a detachable hook designed to engage with a hole (such as an opening, hole or cutout) on the motherboard by using a releasable hook. Other coupling techniques can be used to secure the release device to the motherboard. Generally speaking, the release mechanism can be designed to fit around the expansion slot. In such an embodiment, the release mechanism can have a shape including an opening through which the expansion slot can be accessed. However, in some embodiments, the release mechanism can be installed near the expansion slot without surrounding the expansion slot.
在本揭露的一些實施例中,所揭露的釋放機構可以結合到擴充槽的殼體中,在這樣的實施例中,擴充槽可能稍微大於傳統上的擴充槽,包含之前所揭露用於拆卸擴充卡的接觸表面。 In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the disclosed release mechanism can be integrated into the housing of the expansion slot. In such an embodiment, the expansion slot may be slightly larger than the conventional expansion slot, including the previously disclosed method for disassembling the expansion slot. The contact surface of the card.
本揭露中的釋放裝置基於說明目的揭露用於參考的單個擴充槽。然而,在一些實施例中,一個殼體中可以包含多個釋放機構以及多個擴充卡的開口,因此,在主機板上安裝一個殼體可以為多個擴充槽提供釋放機構。 The release device in this disclosure discloses a single expansion slot for reference for illustrative purposes. However, in some embodiments, one housing may contain multiple release mechanisms and multiple expansion card openings. Therefore, installing one housing on the motherboard can provide release mechanisms for multiple expansion slots.
本揭露中的釋放機構可用於任何合適的擴充卡和擴充槽。然而基於PCIe卡的形狀和常規用途,本揭露中的某些方面特別適合與PCIe卡和PCIe槽一起使用。 The release mechanism in this disclosure can be used for any suitable expansion card and expansion slot. However, based on the shape and conventional use of the PCIe card, certain aspects in this disclosure are particularly suitable for use with the PCIe card and PCIe slot.
