[0002] With the development of centralized management of IT equipment, the heat dissipation problem faced by computer rooms in data centers is becoming more and more serious. In the computer room of a data center, there are often a large number of cabinet devices such as servers, which are often placed side by side in multiple rows. In order to solve the heat dissipation problem of these devices, the existing technology usually mainly adopts the method of cold channel closure to cool down the equipment in the computer room.

[0003] However, in the existing closed cold aisles, the number of cabinets must correspond to the length of the cold aisle to ensure the airtightness of the cold aisle, that is, the cabinets must "fill" the closed cold aisle. In this case, if the user does not need so many cabinets temporarily, but still needs to place a corresponding number of cabinets to ensure the airtightness of the aisle, this will cause a waste of resources and is not conducive to the company's cost savings.

[0039] One end of the positioning stud 9 is slidably fixed inside the bottom side of the frame body 1 through the square nut 8, and the other end extends out of the frame body 1;

[0040] The sealing plate for the cold channel is also provided with a sealing detection device 100, see Figure 6 The sealing detection device 100 includes a temperature detection sensor 110, a central processing unit 120, a PLC controller 130, and an alarm 140; the temperature detection sensor 110 and the PLC controller 130 are both connected to the central processing unit 120; and the alarm 140 is connected to the PLC controller 130.

[0041] The sealing detection device further includes an intelligent chip 150 and a control computer 160; the intelligent chip 150 and the control computer 160 are both connected to the central processing unit 120;

[0042] The temperature detection sensor 110 detects the temperature signal on the sealing plate for the cold channel and transmits it to the central processor 120. The central processor 120 processes and transmits it to the smart chip 150. The smart chip 150 intelligently compares the detected temperature with the appropriate temperature pre-entered by the control computer 160. When the detected temperature is greater than or less than the preset temperature, the central processor 120 processes and sends a signal to the PLC controller 130, and the PLC controller 130 controls the alarm 140 to alarm.

[0043] The sealing detection device 100 further includes a wireless communication module 170 , which is connected to the central processor 120 ; the central processor 120 sends the detection result of the sealing detection device 100 to the mobile terminal 200 via the wireless communication module 170 .

[0044] Specifically, the temperature detection sensor detects the temperature signal on the sealing plate and transmits it to the central processing unit. The central processing unit processes it and then transmits it to the smart chip. The smart chip will intelligently compare the detected temperature with the appropriate temperature pre-entered by the control computer. When the detected temperature is greater than or less than the preset temperature, the central processing unit will process it and send a signal to the PLC controller, which controls the alarm to sound an alarm. At the same time, the central processing unit sends the signal to the mobile terminal through the wireless module.

[0045] Furthermore, the frame body 1 includes a plurality of cross beams 4 and two vertical beams 3; the spring 5, positioning bolt 6 and end cover 7 are arranged on the top of the two vertical beams 3; the square nut 8 and positioning stud 9 are arranged in the slide groove of the bottom cross beam 4.

[0046] Furthermore, the number of the cross beams 4 is four.

[0047] Furthermore, the frame body 1 is made of aluminum profile.

[0048] Furthermore, the sealing filling material 2 is a solar panel.

[0049] Furthermore, a brush 10 is provided in the uppermost crossbeam 4, and at the same time, the uppermost crossbeam 4 is connected to the top structure 11 of the cold channel.

[0050] Furthermore, a sealing strip is provided on the outer side of the frame body 1 .

[0051] In the application scenario of this application, Figure 5As shown, the sealing plate in the present application is used to be installed in a closed cold channel in a data center. The cold channel is connected to the ceiling of the computer room and has an overhead floor below. Cold air is sent into the cold channel through the overhead floor to cool down the servers and other equipment in the cold channel (collectively referred to as cabinets 13 in the figure). At the same time, the heat generated by the servers is dissipated from the outside of the cold channel. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the cold channel is closed to maintain a good cooling effect on the servers.

[0052] Usually, the cold channel has an elevated floor, and a base structure is provided on the elevated floor for fixing servers and other equipment. The sealing plate in the present application can also be fixed on the base structure. The user can adjust the number of sealing plates according to the number of server cabinets. As the number of cabinets decreases, the number of sealing plates increases relatively. On the contrary, as the number of cabinets increases, the number of sealing plates decreases accordingly. However, no matter how the number of cabinets and enclosures change, the cabinets and enclosures should form a seamless cold channel side wall so that cold air does not flow out of the cold channel. For example, the width of the sealing plate is set to be consistent with the width of the cabinet. If a cabinet is added, a sealing plate needs to be removed. On the contrary, if an opportunity is reduced, a sealing plate needs to be installed.

[0053] In the present application, the positioning bolts in the vertical beams cooperate with the top structure in the cold channel, and the positioning studs in the bottommost cross beams cooperate with the base structure in the cold channel, so that the cover plate can be removably fixed in the cold channel; when the positioning bolts in the vertical beams are engaged with the top cover plate interface of the top structure of the cold channel, the springs in the vertical beams are compressed, so that the positioning studs in the bottommost cross beams can be aligned with and inserted into the bottom cover plate interface of the base structure, thereby making the cover plate removably connected vertically to the top structure and base structure of the cold channel.

[0054] When the number of cabinets is insufficient to fill one side of the cold aisle and a cover plate needs to be installed, the steps can be:

[0055] 1. Push the positioning bolts in the cover plate vertical beam into the top cover plate interface of the cold channel top structure. Compress the spring to lift the entire cover plate to the top of the base structure.

[0056] 2. Align the positioning studs in the bottom crossbeam of the sealing plate with the bottom sealing plate interface of the base structure. After releasing your hand, the spring will extend, the sealing plate will fall, and the positioning studs will be screwed into and fixed in the bottom sealing plate interface, so that the sealing plate is fixed in the bottom structure.

[0057] When the number of cabinets increases and the cover plates need to be removed, the steps can be:

[0058] 1. Suspend the positioning studs in the bottom crossbeam of the cover plate to separate the cover plate from the base structure;

[0059] 2. Suspend the positioning bolts in the vertical beam of the cover plate to separate the cover plate from the top structure of the cold channel.

[0060] In a specific embodiment, the sealing plate frame body and the horizontal and vertical beams in the present application are all made of 40×40 aluminum profiles; the positioning bolts are M8 studs; the square nuts are M8 built-in square nuts, the brush is an F-type brush, and the sealing filling material is a polycarbonate board (lighter material).

[0061] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0062] The present invention provides a sealing plate for a cold channel, which can be installed in the cold channel so that the airtightness of the cold channel is not damaged due to insufficient number of cabinets placed in the cold channel. A sealing detection device is provided on the sealing plate for the cold channel, and the sealing detection device is used to detect the sealing between the sealing plates. When there is a problem with the sealing, the alarm can emit a whistle sound through the connected speaker to alarm; at the same time, the mobile terminal is connected through the wireless communication module, and the user can monitor the sealing status of the sealing plate in real time.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
