Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of computer server technology, specifically relating to a server noise reduction device and computer equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a form of computer, a server provides computing or application services to other clients on a network, such as PCs (personal computers), smartphones, ATMs (Automated Teller Machines), or large equipment like train systems. Servers possess high-speed CPU processing power, long-term reliable operation, powerful I / O (Input / Output) external data throughput capabilities, and better scalability.

[0003] Because servers consume a lot of power when performing high-power CPU operations, they generate a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated in time. Therefore, high-power, high-noise cooling fans are installed inside the servers. These cooling fans tend to generate a lot of noise during operation, which greatly increases the workload of the entire data center and damages the hearing of the maintenance personnel.

[0004] In existing technology, when servers are running at high speeds, the outer wall of the server casing is easily vibrated by the server fan. In addition, the server base support structure is relatively complex, and after being assembled with the server, it will increase the noise generated during the server operation, but there is a lack of effective noise reduction and vibration damping measures. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application is implemented as follows:

[0032] The server silencing device and computer equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0033] Optionally, refer to Figures 1 to 6 This application provides a server noise reduction device, including a first bracket 11, a second bracket 12, a first cover plate 2, a second cover plate 3, and a sound insulation component 4. The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are spaced apart, and the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are provided with mounting grooves 13 with the same opening direction to form a receiving space for placing the server. The first cover plate 2 is provided with a through hole 21, one surface of the first cover plate 2 faces the upper cover plate of the server, and the other surface is provided with a support member 22. One side of the first cover plate 2 is connected to the first bracket 11, and the other side of the first cover plate 2 is connected to the second bracket 11. The second cover plate 3 is connected to the first cover plate 2 through the support member 22, and the side of the second cover plate 3 facing the first cover plate 2 is provided with a groove 31, and the sound insulation component 4 is embedded in the groove 31.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 This paper shows a schematic diagram of the server noise reduction device provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This diagram illustrates a disassembled view of the server noise reduction device provided in this embodiment. The device includes a first bracket 11, a second bracket 12, a first cover plate 2, a second cover plate 3, and a sound insulation component 4. The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are spaced apart and opposite to each other. Both brackets have mounting slots 13 with the same opening direction. The distance between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 is less than the width of the server, facilitating the insertion of the server into the mounting slots 13. One side of the server is fixed by the mounting slot 13 of the first bracket 11, and the other opposite side of the server is fixed by the mounting slot 13 of the first bracket 12. The thickness of the mounting slot 13 is slightly greater than the height of the server, and the extension length of the mounting slot 13 is slightly greater than the length of the server, allowing for adjustment of the server's insertion distance. The structure of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 can meet the fixing requirements of servers of various sizes. The device is simple and easy to assemble and disassemble with the server. Compared to the server mounting base in the prior art, the contact area with the server is smaller, dispersing the adverse effects of mechanical vibration and noise from the server's internal fan during operation.

[0035] Specifically, Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first cover plate 2 in an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 4 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 in an embodiment of this application. Figure 5 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the second cover plate 3 and the sound insulation component 4 in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the sound insulation component 4 in an embodiment of this application, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one side of the first cover plate 2 is connected to the first bracket 11, and the other side of the first cover plate 2 is connected to the second bracket 12, fixing the first cover plate 2 between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. In some specific embodiments, such as... Figure 7This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the connection structure between the first cover plate 2 and the first bracket 11 or the second bracket 12 in an embodiment of this application. A groove 16 is provided at the upper end of the mounting groove 13 of the first bracket 11, and a groove 16 is also provided at the upper end of the mounting groove 13 of the second bracket 12. One side of the first cover plate 2 is embedded in the groove 16 of the first bracket 11, and the other opposite side of the first cover plate 2 is embedded in the groove 16 of the second bracket 12, thus achieving a detachable connection between the first cover plate 2 and the two brackets. The first cover plate 2 can slide along the direction of the groove 16, adapting to the assembly requirements of brackets of different lengths and servers of different sizes. One surface of the first cover plate 2 faces the upper cover plate of the server and is provided with a through hole 21. The number of through holes 21 can be one, two, or more. The more through holes, the stronger the noise dispersion. The shape of the through holes 21 includes, but is not limited to, circles or polygons, depending on the processing of the cover plate. Multiple through holes 21 are machined on the first cover plate 2 to form a small-hole sound-absorbing structure. Sound waves can penetrate deep into the sound-absorbing material, i.e., the sound insulation component 4 in this embodiment, along these holes, and the frictional action converts sound energy into heat energy. Simultaneously, both the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 are made of sound insulation materials, such as: wooden sound-absorbing panels, mineral wool sound-absorbing panels, fabric sound-absorbing panels with centrifugal glass wool as the core, polyester fiber sound-absorbing panels, metal sound-absorbing panels, or ceramic-aluminum decorative panels. Considering assembly strength and usage costs, the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 in this embodiment are made of aluminum. To enhance their sound insulation effect, the through holes 21 on the first cover plate 2 can be machined into elliptical micropores with a triangular pyramidal base. Furthermore, the multiple through holes 21 can also guide airflow from the top of the server for heat dissipation.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, a support member 22 is provided on one surface of the first cover plate 2. The support member 22 is strip-shaped, with one long side connected to the first cover plate 2 and the short side perpendicular to the first cover plate 2. The number of support members is not limited, and the support members 22 and the first cover plate 2 are integral parts, also made of aluminum, to improve the sound insulation effect. The support member 22 is connected to the second cover plate 3. Specifically, the second cover plate 3 can be placed on top of the support member 22, or the second cover plate 3 can be embedded between two parallel support members 22, and then the connection with the first cover plate 2 is strengthened by a buckle assembly. That is, a certain space is formed between the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3. This space is connected to the outside only through the through hole 21 on the first cover plate 2, which can absorb the noise and airflow generated by the mechanical vibration of the cooling fan during server operation to the greatest extent. The side of the second cover plate 3 facing the first cover plate 2 is provided with a groove 31, and a sound insulation member 4 is embedded in the groove 31. The grooves 3 can be one, two, or more. When there are multiple grooves 3, they can be arranged side-by-side or in an array. Correspondingly, one, two, or more sound-insulating components 4 can be embedded in the same groove 3. In this embodiment, multiple strip-shaped grooves 3 are arranged side-by-side, and multiple strip-shaped sound-insulating components 4 are embedded in each groove 3. The arrangement directions of the multiple grooves 3 and the multiple sound-insulating components 4 are perpendicular to each other. The material of the sound-insulating component 4 includes, but is not limited to, sound-insulating cotton, sponge, or polyurethane foam. The internal structure is a multi-fiber porous structure. When the noise generated by the server enters the interior of the sound-insulating component 4, it will be reflected, superimposed, and collided within the pores, thus weakening the intensity of the sound waves. Optionally, both the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 can be assembled from multiple snap-fit ​​plates. The multiple snap-fit ​​plates can be detachably connected for convenient transportation and storage, and can be adapted to servers of different sizes.

[0037] The server noise reduction device provided in this application embodiment, after being assembled with the server, will reduce the mechanical vibration and noise generated by the internal cooling fan during operation. The noise enters the space between the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3 through the through-hole 21 on the first cover plate 2. After multiple collisions and reflections, its intensity is weakened. Simultaneously, the noise is further absorbed by the sound-insulating component in the groove of the second cover plate 3, preventing rapid transmission and diffusion of noise and reducing its adverse effects on server operational stability and the hearing of maintenance personnel. Furthermore, the device is highly integrated, detachable, and adaptable to server structures of different sizes. The first bracket 11, second bracket 12, first cover plate 2, and second cover plate 3 are connected and assembled. Compared to the mounting base in the prior art, fixing the server through the mounting slots 13 of the first bracket 11 and second bracket 12 reduces the contact area between the device and the server, disperses the mechanical vibration generated by the internal cooling fan during operation, and reduces the noise of the cooling fan.

[0038] Optionally, refer to Figure 3The first cover plate 2 is provided with a plurality of through holes 21, which are arranged in an array.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first cover plate 2 has multiple through holes 21 arranged in a uniform array. This further disperses the noise generated by the server during operation. The noise is reflected and collided multiple times within the space between the through holes and the first cover plate 2 and the second cover plate 3, further weakening its intensity. In addition, increasing the number of through holes 21 and arranging them regularly can disperse the airflow generated from inside the server from multiple directions, helping to enhance the server's heat dissipation effect.

[0040] Optionally, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first cover plate 2 further includes a strip elastic element 23; the strip elastic element 23 is connected to the surface of the first cover plate 2 facing the second cover plate 3, the strip elastic element 23 is parallel to a set of opposite sides of the first cover plate 2, and the elastic element 23 is disposed between any two columns of the through holes 21.

[0041] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a strip-shaped elastic element 23 is provided on the surface of the first cover plate 2 facing the second cover plate 3. The material of the strip-shaped elastic element 23 includes, but is not limited to, rubber or polyurethane, and it has the functions of shock absorption and noise reduction. When it is placed in the space between the first cover plate and the second cover plate 3, it can further reduce the noise generated by the server. The strip-shaped elastic element 23 is parallel to a set of opposite sides of the first cover plate 2. Based on the above embodiment, on the basis of providing a plurality of arrayed through holes 21 on the first cover plate 2, a plurality of strip-shaped elastic elements 23 are correspondingly provided. Each elastic element 23 is provided between any two rows of through holes 21. A gas channel can be formed between two strip-shaped elastic elements 23. The airflow generated from the server can enter into different gas channels through the through holes 21 at different positions, forming a stable gas flow state between two strip-shaped elastic elements 23, reducing excessive mechanical vibration. Moreover, the noise generated by the vibration of the cooling fan inside the server enters this gas channel and can be further absorbed by the sound insulation element 4 provided on the second cover plate 3, reducing the noise intensity.

[0042] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes an end plate 51; the end plate 51 is disposed at the opening of the mounting groove 13, one side of the end plate 51 is hinged between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12, and the other opposite side of the end plate 51 can rotate relative to one side of the end plate 51 to be in a closed or open state; when the end plate 51 is in the closed state, it can block the opening.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, end plate 51 is disposed at the opening of mounting groove 13. One side of end plate 51 is hinged between first bracket 11 and second bracket 12, and the other opposite side is rotatable relative to one side of end plate 51. A pivot 52 can be provided between first bracket 11 and second bracket 12 to realize the rotation of end plate 51. The surface of end plate 51 can be flat or curved, and can be made of lightweight sound insulation material, including but not limited to sound insulation cotton, sound insulation wood board, sound insulation felt, or sound insulation glass. The connection structure of pivot 52 can include the following two types: pivot 52 is fixedly connected to first bracket 11 and second bracket 12, and rotatably connected to one side of end plate 51, so that the other opposite side of end plate 51 can rotate accordingly to open or close; pivot 52 can also be movably connected to first bracket 11 and second bracket 12, and fixedly connected to one side of end plate 51. When one side of the end plate 51 is rotated to open the end plate 51, the server can be installed into the mounting slot 13 through the opening of the mounting slot 13 and fixed by the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12; when one side of the end plate 51 is rotated to close the end plate 51, the server in the mounting slot 13 can be blocked, which has the functions of blocking dust and reducing noise.

[0044] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 include two support plates 14 arranged vertically opposite each other and an arc-shaped connector 15. The two ends of the arc-shaped connector 15 are respectively connected to one of the support plates 14, and the mounting groove 13 is formed between the two support plates 14.

[0045] Specifically, Figure 8 This paper shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the first support 11 and the second support 12 in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first bracket 11 includes two opposing support plates 14 and an arc-shaped connector 15. Each end of the arc-shaped connector 15 is connected to one of the support plates 14, forming a "U"-shaped structure with the two support plates 14. An open mounting groove 13 is formed between the two support plates 14. The second bracket 12 has the same structure as the first bracket 11, and both are integral pieces. The distance between the two support plates 14 is slightly greater than the height of the server; for example, the height of a 1U server is 4.45 cm. The length of the support plate 14 is greater than the length of the server. Figure 7 As shown, the upper support plate 14 is provided with a groove 16. The two oppositely arranged grooves 16 are respectively used to accommodate the two opposite sides of the first cover plate 2. The first cover plate 2 can slide in the groove 16 to achieve a detachable connection with the support plate 14.

[0046] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes a retractable sound insulation component 4; the retractable sound insulation component 4 is disposed in the mounting groove 13.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a retractable sound insulation component 6 is installed near the outer side of the mounting slot 13. The retractable sound insulation component 6 is composed of multiple sound-insulating panels, and the angle between these panels is adjustable. When the angle between the panels increases, the sound insulation component 6 extends, increasing the area it can cover; when the angle decreases, the sound insulation component 6 retracts, decreasing the area it can cover. When the server is installed in the mounting slot 13, the retractable sound insulation component 6 adjusts its extension and retraction to accommodate the server's length, reducing the noise generated during server operation.

[0048] Optionally, refer to Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes a heat dissipation pipe 7; the heat dissipation pipe 7 contains coolant and is fixed between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 to absorb the heat generated during the operation of the server.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, servers generate a large amount of heat during operation. To improve heat dissipation while also providing sound insulation and noise reduction, this embodiment employs water cooling. A heat dissipation pipe 7 is fixed between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. The heat dissipation pipe contains coolant, specifically server-grade cooling oil. A water pump is connected to the outside of the heat dissipation pipe. The heat dissipation pipe has an outlet and an inlet, with the inlet connected to the outlet of the water pump and the outlet connected to the inlet of the water pump, forming a coolant circulation channel. The heat dissipation pipe 7 is made of metal, typically copper. To increase the heat dissipation area, the heat dissipation pipe 7 is arranged in an "S" shape. The server is installed in the mounting slot 13, with the heat dissipation pipe 7 attached to its upper end, exchanging heat with the heat dissipation pipe 7. This allows the heat generated by the server during operation to be carried away by the heat dissipation pipe 7, and the water cooling mode results in less noise and vibration.

[0050] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes a cooling fan 8; the cooling fan 8 is fixed on the first bracket 11 or the second bracket 12, and the cooling fan 8 is close to the outlet of the heat dissipation pipe 7.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, to improve the water cooling effect, the server noise reduction device is also equipped with a cooling fan 8, which is fixed on the support plate 14 above the first bracket 11 or the second bracket 12. The cooling fan 8 is a silent fan and is located near the outlet of the heat pipe 7 to reduce the temperature at the outlet of the heat pipe 7 and improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipe 7. At the same time, the silent fan has low noise and mechanical vibration during operation.

[0052] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes a slide rail 91, and the support plate 14 below is slidably connected to the slide rail 91.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the server noise reduction device is also equipped with a slide rail 91. The support plate 14 below is slidably connected to the slide rail 91. In some embodiments, two metal slide rails 91 are provided between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12. The slide rails 91 are located at both ends of the support plate 14, so that the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 move synchronously along the slide rail 91. Figure 1 The server can be installed in the mounting slot 13 by sliding in the X1 or X2 direction, which means that the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 are adjusted to the appropriate position by sliding synchronously, thus eliminating the need to move the server. Specifically, a raised slider is provided at the lower end of the support plate 14, which is embedded in the slide rail 91 to realize the sliding connection between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 and the slide rail 91; or a rotating shaft and a rotating wheel are provided at the lower end of the support plate 14. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the support plate 14, and the rotating wheel is embedded in the slide rail 91. While moving around the rotating shaft, the wheel moves in the X1 or X2 direction within the slide rail 91 to realize the sliding connection between the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 and the slide rail 91. Multiple slide rails 91 can also be provided, and the length is determined according to the server assembly requirements.

[0054] Optionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The server noise reduction device also includes a magnetic ball 92; the magnetic ball 92 is movably connected to the support plate 14 below, and the magnetic ball 92 is embedded in the slide rail 91 and can move with the support plate 14 in the slide rail 91.

[0055] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the magnetic sphere 92 is movably connected to the support plate 14 below via a connecting rod, meaning the magnetic sphere 92 can rotate around the connecting rod, possessing only one degree of freedom. The magnetic sphere 92 is embedded within the slide rail 91. While rotating around the connecting rod, it can be driven by the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 to move along the X1 or X2 direction within the slide rail 91, achieving a sliding connection between the first bracket 11, the second bracket 12, and the slide rail 91. Since the slide rail 91 is made of metal, there is a magnetic attraction between the magnetic sphere 92 and the slide rail 91, providing a certain amount of magnetic damping during movement, limiting the sliding speed, and preventing excessive movement that could cause the bracket to detach from the slide rail 91.

[0056] Optionally, refer to Figure 8 The two support plates 14 above each have threaded fasteners 141 at both ends, and one end of the threaded fastener 141 that extends into the receiving space is provided with an elastic constraint 1411.

[0057] Specifically, Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 in this embodiment is shown. Threaded fasteners 141 are threaded through both ends of the support plate 14 at the upper end of the first bracket 11. Threaded fasteners 141 are also threaded through the support plate 14 at the corresponding positions of the first bracket 11 at the upper end of the second bracket 12. Therefore, in this embodiment, a total of four threaded fasteners 141 are provided on the support plate 14. The threaded fastener 141 is a threaded rod connected to a nut, wherein the nut is placed on the surface of the support plate 14, the threaded rod passes through the nut and the support plate 14, and the other end is provided with an elastic constraint member 1411, i.e., a rubber base. Since the depth of the mounting groove 13 is slightly greater than the height of the server, after the server is installed in the mounting groove 13, there is a small gap between the upper end of the server and the upper support plate 14. In one embodiment, by rotating the threaded rod, the other end of the threaded fastener 141 descends, and the position of the elastic constraint member 1411 descends accordingly until the elastic constraint member 1411 contacts and adheres to the upper end of the server. Four elastic constraint members 1411 at different positions are respectively fixed to the four corners of the server to prevent vertical swaying during server operation. In another embodiment, by rotating the threaded rod, the other end of the threaded fastener 141 descends, and the position of the elastic constraint member 1411 descends accordingly until the elastic constraint member 1411 contacts and adheres to the side wall of the server. The elastic constraint members 1411 on the two opposing support plates 14 need to be adjusted to the same height to cooperate in preventing swaying along the width direction during server operation.

[0058] This application also provides a computer device, including a server and the server mute device described in any of the above embodiments.

[0059] In existing technologies, high-power, high-noise fans are typically installed inside servers to meet heat dissipation requirements, resulting in significant mechanical vibration and noise. However, the computer equipment provided in this application replaces the internal cooling fan with a DC Blower Fan-DC silent vortex fan. During operation, this fan generates negative pressure, uniformly accelerating the air and concentrating it at the upper part of the server, bringing it closer to the heat pipe 7. The computer equipment provided in this application may include multiple servers and server noise reduction devices used with each server. The servers are 1U servers, and the dimensions of the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 of the server noise reduction device are matched to the 1U server dimensions. For sound insulation and noise reduction, the first cover plate 2 is detachably assembled with the bracket and connected to the second cover plate 3, reducing the noise generated by the internal cooling fan at the upper part of the server. When the end plate 51 is closed, it can shield the side of the server located at the opening of the mounting slot 13 for dust and noise reduction. A retractable sound insulation component 6 shields the side of the server located inside the mounting slot 13 for dust and noise reduction. For server heat dissipation, an external water pump is connected to the heat pipe 7, and a cooling fan is installed at the outlet of the heat pipe 7. This reduces noise and mechanical vibration while ensuring heat dissipation. In addition, for server assembly and fixation, the height of the elastic constraint 1411 is adjusted according to the server size by rotating the threaded fastener 141 of the upper support plate 14 until it is close to the side or top of the server, thus fixing the server position.

[0060] In some embodiments, the server silencer is assembled with the server and the server is started using the following steps:

[0061] 1. After simultaneously pushing the first bracket 11 and the second bracket 12 to slide on the slide rail 91 to the appropriate assembly position, insert the server into the mounting slot 13 through the opening of the mounting slot 13.

[0062] 2. Rotate the end plate 51 to close it, covering the side of the server near the opening of the mounting slot 13; adjust the size of the retractable sound insulation component to cover the side of the mounting slot 13 so as to cover the server.

[0063] 3. Depending on the size of the server, rotate the threaded fastener 141 on the support plate 14 so that the elastic constraint 1411 at its lower end descends and attaches to the side or top of the server to fix the position of the server and prevent shaking during operation.

[0064] Fourth, connect the heat dissipation pipe 7 to the upper part of the server, or attach it to the upper part of the server, and connect a water pump to the outlet and inlet of the heat dissipation pipe 7. Then fix the assembled first cover plate 2 and second cover plate 3 into the groove 16 of the upper support plate 14 to complete the sealing and noise reduction of the upper part of the server.

[0065] In summary, the server noise reduction device and computer equipment provided in this application embodiment allow the noise and airflow generated by the internal cooling fan of the server to enter the space between the first and second cover plates through the through holes in the first cover plate, where they are dispersed and weakened. Furthermore, the noise is further absorbed by the sound-insulating components in the groove of the second cover plate, preventing rapid transmission and diffusion, and reducing the adverse effects of noise on the server's operational stability and the hearing of maintenance personnel. Moreover, the noise reduction device is adaptable to servers of different sizes, is detachable, and facilitates assembly and operation.
