Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of information technology, and in particular to an energy-saving system for a data center computer room. Background Art

[0002] A data center usually refers to a physical space that realizes centralized processing, storage, transmission, exchange, and management of information. Computer equipment, server equipment, network equipment, storage equipment, etc. are usually considered to be key equipment in the core computer room of the network. Data centers are energy-intensive industries, and electricity costs account for more than 50% of data center operating costs. With the rapid development of technologies such as cloud computing and 5G, data demand is growing exponentially, the number of data centers is increasing day by day, and the scale of electricity consumption is also rising sharply.

[0003] Traditional data center rooms require air conditioning systems for cooling, but due to the large size of the data center, cooling the entire room consumes a huge amount of electricity, and operators need to adjust the equipment in the cabinets, etc. Frequent opening and closing of the cabinets will also cause energy waste. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a data center computer room energy saving system to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: an energy-saving system for a computer room in a data center, comprising an energy-saving cabinet module, a temperature feedback module and a temperature control module, a hinge structure being fixedly arranged on the right side of the energy-saving cabinet module, a cabinet door being fixedly arranged between the hinge structures on both sides, an internal space being arranged in the energy-saving cabinet module, four mounting frames being arranged from top to bottom in the internal space, each of the mounting frames being provided with a fixing bolt between the rear side wall of the internal space, a placement plate being provided on the upper side of each of the mounting frames, three refrigeration units being evenly arranged on the placement plate from left to right, a refrigerant channel being provided in the refrigeration unit, a storage unit being provided on the upper side of the refrigeration unit, the temperature feedback module being fixedly arranged at a position on the left side of the internal space corresponding to the placement plate, the temperature control module being an external structure, A connecting pipe is provided. Except for the lower side of the uppermost mounting frame and the upper side of the lowermost mounting frame, which are only provided with a slide groove, the upper and lower sides of the remaining mounting frames are provided with the slide groove. A partition plate is slidably provided in the slide groove, and the partition plate extends forward into the internal space. The cabinet doors are hingedly provided with unit doors at the positions corresponding to the mounting frames. A first hinge rod and a second hinge rod are hingedly provided between the rear side surface of the unit door and the corresponding partition plate. When the single-layer storage unit needs to be inspected and maintained, it is only necessary to open the corresponding unit door. When the corresponding unit door is opened, due to the connection between the second hinge rod and the first hinge rod, the partition plate will be withdrawn to separate the mounting frame corresponding to the position from the mounting frames at other positions, thereby avoiding energy waste caused by the connection between the internal space and the external environment after the unit door is opened.

[0006] Preferably, the mounting frames are provided in layers from top to bottom, and the spacings between the mounting frames are consistent, and the number of the cabinet doors correspondingly arranged at the cabinet doors is also four, and the spacings are consistent.

[0007] Preferably, three refrigeration units are evenly arranged on each layer of the storage board from left to right, the number of the storage units is the same as the number of the refrigeration units, and the spacing between the storage units is not less than 10 cm, so as to avoid the situation where the spacing between the storage units is too small to be conducive to heat dissipation.

[0008] Preferably, each of the refrigeration units is provided with an installation groove, which is an upper open groove structure with a groove edge height of 2 cm. After the storage unit is installed in the installation groove, it can play a limiting role and facilitate the installation and disassembly of the storage unit.

[0009] Preferably, the refrigerant channel is a continuous W-shaped structure, so that the total length of the refrigerant channel in the refrigeration unit is longer, which can greatly improve the refrigeration efficiency.

[0010] Preferably, each of the unit doors is provided with a handle on the front side, by which the unit door can be conveniently opened and closed.

[0011] Preferably, a handle structure is fixedly provided on the left side of the cabinet door, and the handle structure can facilitate opening the entire cabinet door.

[0012] Preferably, the partition plate is a nano-based thermal insulation soft felt structure with a thickness of not less than 3 cm, and the partition plate has a good barrier effect.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] The present invention adopts an energy-saving cabinet module, a temperature feedback module and a temperature control module to form a separate energy-saving unit. A plurality of energy-saving units are arranged in the entire computer room to form an energy-saving system. A storage plate is arranged in the energy-saving cabinet module of each energy-saving unit. The refrigerant channel in the storage plate cooperates with the temperature feedback module and the temperature control module to adopt refrigerant cooling to each storage unit. The refrigerant can be recycled in the temperature control module, thereby improving the refrigeration efficiency. At the same time, each cabinet door is provided with a unit door and a partition plate at the corresponding storage plate. When the maintenance personnel need to open a single-layer storage plate, they only need to open the unit door at the corresponding position. The upper and lower sides of the storage plate on this layer can be separated from the remaining storage plates by the partition plate, so that the remaining positions can be prevented from being connected to the computer room and heated up, and energy consumption can be reduced. In addition, the setting of a separate energy-saving unit can avoid the poor heat dissipation of some servers due to the difference in the installation position of the cabinet in the current centralized refrigeration process.

When the corresponding unit door 16 is opened, due to the connection between the second hinged rod 28 and the first hinged rod 27, the partition plate 26 will be withdrawn to separate the corresponding mounting frame 19 from the mounting frames 19 at other positions, avoiding energy waste due to the internal space 18 being connected to the external environment after the unit door 16 is opened.

[0025] In addition, in one embodiment, the mounting frame 19 is provided with four layers from top to bottom, and the spacing between the mounting frames 19 is consistent, and the number of the cabinet doors 12 correspondingly arranged at the cabinet door 12 is also four, and the spacing is consistent.
