Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of server heat dissipation design, and in particular relates to a device, instrument, mechanism and method for measuring wind speed in a flow field within a server. Background Art

[0002] RV stands for Rotational Vibration. A server's RV performance reflects the server's internal vibration. The higher the server's RV performance, the better the server's seismic resistance.

[0003] As server intelligence increases, server applications become increasingly widespread. This widespread use of servers also increases the demand for greater storage capacity. Consequently, servers become larger and more inconvenient to use, leading to the emergence of high-density servers. Cooling high-density servers presents a design challenge. Optimizing cooling performance while minimizing server size is a constant concern. The velocity distribution within the server is a key parameter in server cooling design, making its determination crucial for optimizing server cooling performance. Furthermore, this velocity distribution plays a crucial role in server RV performance.

[0004] In summary, the velocity distribution within a server is a crucial parameter for assisting with cooling design, simulation verification, and resolving server RV issues. Quickly and easily obtaining this parameter is extremely beneficial for improving server design. However, existing equipment and methods lack accurate measurement of wind velocity within servers, requiring only indirect estimations based on empirical evaluation and simulation calculations, which cannot accurately guide design.

[0005] This is a shortcoming of the existing technology. Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, it is very necessary to provide a device, instrument, mechanism and method for measuring the wind speed of the flow field in a server. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the defect that the above-mentioned existing equipment in the prior art does not have accurate measurement equipment and methods for the flow field wind speed in the server, and can only be estimated by indirect methods such as experience evaluation and simulation calculation, and cannot accurately guide the design, the present invention provides a flow field wind speed measurement device, instrument, mechanism and method in the server to solve the above technical problems.

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a device for measuring wind speed in a flow field within a server, comprising a mounting base, a mounting rod, and three wind speed measuring units;

[0009] The mounting rod is arranged on the fixing surface and is perpendicular to the fixing surface;

[0010] An anemometer unit is provided on each mounting surface;

[0011] Each anemometer unit is equipped with a laser ranging assembly, the light outlet of which is perpendicular to the mounting surface of the anemometer unit. The anemometer device consists of three orthogonally arranged anemometer units. Under the influence of wind, the bowl-shaped anemometer rotates around its axis, and its rotation speed is proportional to the wind speed. Each anemometer unit is independent and perpendicular to each other, corresponding to the three coordinate axes of an orthogonal coordinate system. These units can measure the wind speed components in three directions at the location of the anemometer unit. The wind speed and direction at that point are obtained by combining these three wind speed components. Each anemometer unit has a miniature laser ranging assembly integrated into its rotating end. These laser ranging assemblies at the ends of the three anemometer units can independently measure distances and thus determine the specific location of the anemometer unit within the server chassis.

[0012] Furthermore, the wind speed measuring unit adopts a bowl-shaped anemometer, which includes a rotating shaft and a plurality of bowl-shaped wind receiving components;

[0015] The laser distance measuring component is arranged at the end of the rotating shaft and at the symmetrical center of each bowl-shaped wind-receiving component.

[0016] Furthermore, the anemometer unit includes three bowl-shaped wind receiving components. The anemometer unit is not limited to the case of three bowl-shaped wind receiving components.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an instrument for measuring the flow field anemometer in a server, comprising a handle and an anemometer device;

[0026] The two slide rails are arranged parallel to each other outside the server chassis, and the two slide rails are arranged on both sides of the server chassis;

[0027] Each slide rail is provided with a slide arm, which slides along the slide rail via a pulley;

[0028] Both sides of the server chassis are provided with slide slots corresponding to the positions of the slide rails;

[0029] The slide rod passes through the two slide slots into the interior of the server chassis, and both ends of the slide rod are fixed on the slide arms respectively;

[0030] The retractable suspension member is fixed on the slide rod and slides along the slide rod;

[0031] The wind speed measuring device is arranged at the lower part of the telescopic suspension member and moves up and down along the telescopic suspension member.

[0032] Further, the telescopic suspension member includes a suspension portion and a sleeve portion;

[0033] The hanging part adopts a Z-shaped structure, and the upper and lower edges of the Z-shaped structure are provided with hanging edges that are buckled with the sliding rod;

[0034] The sleeve portion is fixedly arranged at the lower bottom edge of the Z-shaped structure and is perpendicular to the lower bottom edge of the Z-shaped structure;

[0035] The mounting rod of the anemometer is arranged in the sleeve portion and can move up and down along the sleeve portion.

[0036] In a fourth aspect, the present invention provides a method for measuring wind speed in a flow field within a server, comprising the following steps:

[0037] S 1. Determine the wind speed measurement mode in the server;
