[0002] A data center can be one or several buildings, or part of a building, and usually includes one or more computer rooms. The computer room can provide placement, proxy maintenance, system configuration and management services for users' servers, network equipment and other Internet-related equipment; it can also arrange hardware equipment to provide users with computing, storage, software and other services; or provide proxy leasing and other services for communication lines and export bandwidth. The construction process of the data center includes intelligent subsystems such as environmental monitoring systems, equipment monitoring systems, security systems, automatic fire alarm systems, and data center infrastructure management systems.

[0003] Environmental monitoring is particularly important for the construction of data centers. There will be a lot of dust in the corners of the computer room. When the computer is in use, the dust will also adhere to the back of the host and enter the host through the heat dissipation holes, causing damage to the host. If the user brings food into the data center computer room, the residue may fall on the ground, so the fallen residue will attract mice or other pests, and the appearance of mice will gnaw the cables of the computers in the data center, causing damage to the cables, thereby causing the computer to not work properly. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a computer room environment monitoring system and method that can monitor the dust in the computer room and prevent mice and other pests from damaging the equipment in the computer room. Summary of the invention

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0046] First, Figure 1 A flow chart of a computer room environment monitoring method provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 1 As shown, the computer room environment monitoring method of the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:

[0047] S1: Receive instructions, control and monitor the working status of the slide box and the start and stop status of running along the silent slide rail.

[0048] Specifically, a silent slide and a monitoring slide box running along the silent slide are set in the computer room of the data center. A central control module is set in the monitoring slide box. The working program of the central control module is adjusted by the user. After the working program of the central control module is adjusted, the central control module receives instructions through the network. After receiving the instructions, the central control module performs corresponding operations, such as adjusting the start, stop and switching of the monitoring slide box. The working state includes turning on or off the particle counting module and the sound capture module. In addition to receiving network instructions, the central control module can also interact with other modules of the monitoring slide box. For example, the central control module is used to receive instructions from the sound capture module, and control the start and stop state of the monitoring slide box running along the silent slide rail according to the instructions.

[0049] S2: Sampling and testing the amount of dust on the floor of the computer room and the amount of dust particles in the air of the computer room, and judging whether the computer room needs to be cleaned based on the amount of dust particles in the air.

[0050] Specifically, a particle counting module is also provided on the monitoring slide box, which samples and detects the dust on the ground, and calculates the number of dust particles in the air based on the sampling and detection results of the dust on the ground. The particle concentration in the air of the computer room can be determined based on the number of dust particles, and the dust particle concentration in the air can be uploaded to the network through the central control module; a display screen can also be provided on the monitoring slide box, and the number of dust particles calculated by the particle counting module can be displayed on the display screen to intuitively determine whether the computer room needs to be cleaned.

[0051] S3: Capture external sounds. When the target sound is captured, the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box is changed through the central control module.

[0052] Specifically, the monitoring slide box is also provided with a sound capturing module, which is used to receive the sound of the machine room. When the target sound is received, the sound capturing module changes the start and stop state of the monitoring slide box through the central control module.

[0053] S4: Stop running along the silent slide rail to lure out and kill rats or pests that invade the machine room.

[0054] Specifically, a bait box and an electric shock stick are arranged inside the monitoring slide box. When the sound capture module receives the target sound, the monitoring slide box will stop running on the silent slide rail. At this time, the mice or pests are lured by the bait in the bait box. When the mice or pests eat the bait, the electric shock stick discharges to kill the mice or pests. After the monitoring slide box stops running along the silent slide rail, the electric shock stick is energized. The mice or pests are lured by the bait box placed in advance and walk into the bait box. Then the electric shock stick is used to kill the mice or pests that have walked into the bait box.

[0055] In some examples, receiving instructions, controlling and monitoring the working state of the slide box and the start and stop state of running along the silent slide rail specifically includes:

[0056] S11: Receive instructions sent by the network, and control the start and stop of the monitoring slide box according to the instructions.

[0057] Specifically, the central control module receives instructions through the network. After receiving the instructions, the central control module performs corresponding operations, such as adjusting the start, stop and switching of the monitoring slide box. The working state includes turning on or off the particle counting module and the sound capture module.

[0058] S12: receiving the instruction sent by the sound capture module, and controlling and monitoring the start and stop status of the sliding box running along the silent guide rail.

[0059] Specifically, in addition to receiving network instructions, the central control module can also interact with other modules of the monitoring slide box. For example, the central control module is used to receive instructions from the sound capture module and control the start and stop status of the monitoring slide box running along the silent slide rail according to the instructions.

[0060] In some examples, sampling is performed to detect the amount of dust on the floor of the computer room and the amount of dust particles in the air of the computer room, and judging whether the computer room needs to be cleaned according to the amount of dust particles in the air, including:

[0061] S21: presetting a working time, generating a light signal during the working time, and emitting the light signal into the air.

[0062] Specifically, the working time of the particle counting module is pre-set through a program. In order to improve the accuracy of sampling detection, the working time is set to the night when there is usually no one in the computer room. The particle counting module generates a light signal during working hours. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the light signal uses a laser, and the laser is concentrated through a lens to generate a light signal emitted into the air.

[0063] S22: receiving the returned optical signal, converting the returned optical signal into an electrical signal, processing the received electrical signal, and obtaining the number of particles.

[0064] Specifically, the light signal is refracted in the air and returns to the particle counting module. The particle counting module receives the light signal, captures scattered light, and converts the light signal into an electrical signal that can be processed by the particle counting module. The counter inside the particle counting module processes the electrical signal, obtains and records the number of particles, and can also determine the particle concentration in the air based on the number of particles in the air.

[0065] In some examples, external sounds are captured. When the target sound is captured, the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box is changed through the central control module, specifically including:

[0066] S31: Setting a sound matching model, preprocessing the captured sound, and performing feature extraction to obtain captured sound features.

[0067] Specifically, the sound capture module pre-sets a sound matching model and sets a matching algorithm in the sound matching model. The sound matching model is used to match the captured sound features with the pre-stored target sound features. The sound capture module pre-processes the captured sound and then extracts features to obtain the captured sound features for matching with the pre-stored target sound features.

[0068] Before extracting sound features, the sound capture module converts the received sound into a sound electrical signal. The sound feature extraction is performed through the sound matching model set inside the sound capture module. The process of sound feature extraction includes: calculating the energy of the sound electrical signal of each frame, using the fast Fourier transform method to convert the sound electrical signal of each frame from the time domain to the frequency domain, and then extracting the frequency, amplitude and phase spectrum features; converting the sound electrical signal into the Mel frequency domain, and then calculating the cepstral coefficients; calculating the number of times the sound electrical signal of each frame passes through the zero point, calculating the autocorrelation of the sound electrical signal of each frame, and extracting the sound features; completing the processing through the sound matching model set inside the sound capture module.

[0069] S32: Match the captured sound features with the target sound features in the database through the matching algorithm of the sound matching model, and determine the matching result.

[0070] Specifically, the sound features of mice or pests are pre-stored in the database of the sound capture module and used as target sound features. The captured sound features and the target sound features are matched by the matching algorithm of the sound matching model, and the matching result is determined.

[0071] S33: If the matching result is consistent, it is determined that the target sound is captured, and a signal is sent to the central control module to change the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box; if the matching result is inconsistent, the currently captured sound data is deleted, and new sound is captured continuously.

[0072] Specifically, when the matching result of the captured sound feature is consistent with the target sound feature, the sound capture module determines that it is the captured target sound, and the sound capture module sends a signal to the central control module, so that the central control module changes the start and stop state of the monitoring slide box and controls the monitoring slide box to stop running. When the matching result of the captured sound feature is inconsistent with the target sound feature, the sound capture module deletes the currently captured sound data and continues to capture new sounds; wherein the sound data includes the captured sound and the sound feature after feature extraction. When the monitoring slide box is in a stationary state, within a period of time, no captured sound feature consistent with the target sound feature is matched, then the sound capture module sends a signal to the central control module, and the central control module changes the start and stop state of the monitoring slide box and controls the monitoring slide box to start running.

[0073] Specifically, the matching algorithm presets a similarity threshold and matches the waveform of the target sound feature with the waveform of the captured sound feature. When the matching result reaches the similarity threshold, the matching result is consistent. When the matching result does not reach the similarity threshold, the matching result is inconsistent.

[0074] In order to more clearly illustrate a computer room environment monitoring method provided in an embodiment of the present disclosure, an embodiment is provided below for specific description:

[0075] S101: Place bait on the bait box of the monitoring slide box, close other openings on the detection slide box, and leave only one open opening for exposing the bait to the outside.

[0076] S102: The control module receives the start instruction, causes the monitoring slide box to run along the silent slide rail, and controls the particle counting module, the sound capturing module and the electric prod to start working.

[0077] S103: Turn on the particle counting module at night to sample and detect the amount of dust on the floor of the computer room and the amount of dust particles in the air of the computer room, and determine whether the computer room needs to be cleaned according to the amount of dust particles in the air.

[0078] S104: The sound capture module captures external sounds. When the target sound is captured, the central control module changes the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box so that the monitoring slide box running along the silent slide rail stops moving.

[0079] S105: The bait in the bait box of the monitoring slide box is used to lure mice or pests. When the mice or pests eat the bait, the electric shock stick discharges electricity to kill the mice or pests.

[0080] S106: After a period of time, if the target sound is not captured, the sound capture module sends a signal to the central control module, and the central control module changes the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box and controls the monitoring slide box to start running.

[0081] In a second aspect, based on the above method, the embodiment of the present disclosure also provides a computer room environment monitoring system corresponding to the above method. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a computer room environment monitoring system provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure is provided. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a monitoring slide box structure provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, such as Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a computer room environment monitoring system includes a monitoring slide box 2 and a silent slide rail 1, the silent slide rail 1 is arranged on the floor of the computer room, and the monitoring slide box 2 runs along the silent slide rail 1; the monitoring slide box 2 includes a particle counting module 22, a sound capturing module 23, a central control module 21, a bait box 24 and an electric prod 25; wherein the particle counting module 22 and the sound capturing module 23 are fixed on the outer surface of the monitoring slide box 2, and the central control module 21 is located inside the monitoring slide box 2; the monitoring slide box 2 is provided with an open space connected to the computer room environment, and the bait box 24 and the electric prod 25 are arranged in the open space of the monitoring slide box 2; the central control module 21 is used to receive instructions, control the working state of the monitoring slide box 2 and the start and stop state of running along the silent slide rail 1; the particle counting module 22 is used to sample and detect the amount of dust on the floor of the computer room, the amount of dust particles in the air of the computer room, and judge whether the computer room needs to be cleaned according to the amount of dust particles in the air. The sound capture module 23 is used to capture external sounds. When the target sound is captured, the start / stop state of the monitoring slide box 2 is changed through the central control module 21. The monitoring slide box 2 is used to stop running along the silent slide rail 1 after the target sound is captured, so as to lure and eliminate rats or pests invading the computer room. The voltage of the electric shock rod 25 can be adjusted according to actual conditions. For safety, the voltage of the electric shock rod 25 can be adjusted to below 36V. In order to ensure the elimination of rats or other pests, the voltage of the electric shock rod 25 can be adjusted to 220V.

[0082] In some examples, the silent slide rail 1 is laid around the inner wall of the machine room. At this time, when the monitoring slide box 2 runs along the silent slide rail 1, it can surround the entire machine room.

[0083] In some examples, the cross section of the silent rail 1 perpendicular to the floor of the machine room is rectangular; specifically, Figure 2 As shown, the cross section of the A-A' portion is a rectangle. It is understandable that in the disclosed embodiment, only an example of the cross-sectional shape of the silent rail 1 is given. In actual settings, the cross section of the silent rail 1 can be other shapes to meet different needs.

[0084] In some examples, the silent slide 1 uses high-strength, low-friction coefficient materials, such as special plastics or composite materials. The use of these materials is intended to reduce friction and vibration during movement, thereby reducing noise. Through precise design and processing technology, the silent slide 1 can ensure that the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the guide slider meet high standards, which also helps to reduce friction and noise during movement. The silent slide 1 can also use oil-free lubrication or minimal lubrication technology. Lubrication plays a key role in reducing friction and noise. It can not only reduce friction and noise, but also increase the life of the silent slide 1. The silent slide 1 usually has a damping device integrated inside. This device can effectively reduce the impact and vibration during movement, thereby achieving smooth and noiseless movement.

[0085] In some examples, the sound capture module 23 includes a capture microphone, which captures external sounds. When the sound waves in the machine room are transmitted to the capture microphone, the diaphragm of the capture microphone vibrates according to the vibration of the sound waves. The vibration of the diaphragm will be transmitted to the internal electrical components to generate corresponding electrical signals, which are then processed by audio amplification to collect the sound in the machine room. In order to achieve high-quality sound capture, the sound capture module 23 usually adopts a special circuit design, such as a two-way sound collection circuit, which amplifies and low-pass filters the sound electrical signal to ensure that the collected sound electrical signal has a high signal-to-noise ratio and an appropriate amplitude.

[0086] In some examples, the monitoring slide box 2 also includes a display screen 26, which is electrically connected to the particle counting module 22 and is used to display the number of particles in the air calculated by the particle counting module 22. It can be intuitively judged whether the machine room needs to be cleaned based on the displayed number of particles in the air.

[0087] Although the present disclosure has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure.
