Specific implementation manner

[0053] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Specific Embodiment 1:

[0055] As Figures 1-11 shown, a computer chassis includes a chassis main body 1 and a chassis backplane 2. The chassis backplane 2 is bolted to the front of the chassis main body 1. A control main board 6 is provided inside the chassis main body 1. Electrical components 7 are connected to the surface of the control main board 6. A connection interface 13 is provided on one side of the outer surface of the chassis main body 1. Heat dissipation and cooling mechanisms 4 are installed on both the side of the control main board 6 and the side of the chassis main body 1. An energy storage mechanism 5 is connected to the surface of the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4 on the surface of the control main board 6. A partition cooling mechanism 3 is provided inside the chassis main body 1. When the entire device is actually used, the edge of the chassis backplane 2 is fitted to the surface of the chassis main body 1 through screws or bolts to maintain the entire covering environment outside the chassis main body 1 and prevent internal components from being directly exposed to the external air environment. In addition to installing the control main board 6 and electrical components 7 inside the chassis main body 1, it is also necessary to install a partition cooling structure, a heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4, an energy storage mechanism 5, and a temperature monitoring component 12. After installation, the partition cooling structure partitions the inside of the chassis and performs a covering and targeted cooling and temperature reduction treatment inside the chassis main body 1 in combination with the temperature monitoring component 12 according to the partition structure. The heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4 performs auxiliary cooling and temperature reduction. The energy storage mechanism 5 conducts the heat energy at the position of the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4 in the high heat generation area of the entire chassis main body 1, converts the heat energy into electrical energy, and stores it inside the energy storage mechanism 5 for use as a backup power source.

[0056] When partitioning the internal area of the chassis main body 1 during use, it is generally selected to be divided according to the installation positions of devices such as the control main board 6 and electrical components 7 and the heat generation conditions during use. The inside of the chassis main body 1 is divided into a high heat generation area and a low heat generation area. One set is provided on each of the top and bottom surfaces of the chassis main body 1 with the cooling pipe 303 as the area edge for spatial division in the area. After division, the cooling pipe 303 with the corresponding length is assembled with the multi-way control valve 302 of the corresponding channel. If it is divided into four areas, the multi-way control valve 302 can select an eight-way valve or a four-way valve. After the area division, the temperature monitoring component 12 is installed according to the area division result. After installation, the partition situation and the installation situation of the temperature monitoring component 12 are synchronized to the control system to complete the area division and area monitoring inside the chassis main body 1. The number and position of the area division can be adjusted according to the actual use situation inside the chassis main body 1.

[0057] When installing the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4, the cooling pipe 303 and the chassis main body 1 can select corresponding installation methods according to actual usage requirements. For example, methods such as direct surface fitting, installation through a hoop, and installation by setting a clamping groove can be adopted. Any reasonable existing installation method can be used inside the chassis main body 1 to complete the end fixing of the cooling pipe 303 and the inner wall of the chassis main body 1, and maintain the stability of the cooling pipe 303.

[0058] During actual use, the temperature monitoring component 12 is generally composed of multiple temperature sensing patches. The control system connects and controls multiple temperature sensing patches through the MCU, and adjusts the numerical values of the temperature monitoring threshold and range of the temperature sensing patches through the control system. For the convenience of installation, the temperature sensing patches are installed and connected by a wireless bonding method. Each temperature sensing patch has a corresponding number. After bonding, the temperature sensing patches are positioned in the control system to form a spatial installation area, which is convenient for the control system to adaptively adjust and integrate the positions of the partitioned temperature sensing patches, and is convenient for adapting to the targeted cooling of the partitioned cooling system. Specific Embodiment Two:

[0060] As Figures 1-11 shown, when performing targeted cooling of the area, it is mainly realized through the partitioned cooling mechanism 3. The specific structure is that the partitioned cooling mechanism 3 includes a feed pipe 301 and cooling pipes 303. There are multiple groups of cooling pipes 303. A multi-way control valve 302 is connected between the ends of adjacent cooling pipes 303. The feed pipe 301 is internally connected to the feed pipe 301 through the multi-way control valve 302. A partition plate 304 is provided at the vertical position inside the cooling pipe 303. Cooling air guiding mechanisms 305 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the surface of the cooling pipe 303. A sealing cover 306 is provided at the end of the cooling pipe 303. Coolant enters through the feed pipe 301, and the opening and closing of each cooling pipe 303 are adjusted and controlled through the multi-way control valve 302. The partition plate 304 divides the two regions inside the cooling pipe 303, so that the cooling pipe 303 can perform independent targeted cooling treatments on the two sides without interference. The end of the cooling pipe 303 is sealed by the sealing cover 306 to prevent coolant leakage. At the same time, the bottom surface of the cooling pipe 303 is flat, the top surface is arc-shaped, the pipe orifice areas of adjacent cooling pipes 303 are the same, and the connection position between the cooling pipe 303 and the multi-way control valve 302 is sealed. The end of the cooling pipe 303 away from the multi-way control valve 302 abuts against the inner wall of the chassis main body 1. When performing cooling and temperature reduction, in the attached drawing Figure 11Taking the partition of [partition name] as an example, the entire chassis main body 1 is divided into four regions A, B, C, and D by the cooling pipes 303. The four cooling pipes 303 are connected by an eight-way multi-way control valve 302. Since there are two channels inside each cooling pipe 303 separated by the partition plate 304, when assembling the four cooling pipes 303, in order to facilitate targeted control of each channel, an eight-way multi-way control valve 302 is selected for connection. As Figure 11 shown, when it is monitored that the temperature in area A is too high and exceeds the set threshold, the multi-way control valve 302 injects the coolant into the inner side channels of the AD pipe and the AB pipe in area A by opening the valve ports at the corresponding A1 and A2 positions. Through the operation of the cooling air guiding structure on the surface of the cooling pipe 303, the air inside the coolant is driven to exchange heat with the air inside area A, realizing centralized cooling. By controlling the inlet rate and inlet volume of the coolant, the cooling efficiency of area A is controlled, achieving centralized control when the temperature in area A is too high. By adopting this method, targeted cooling and temperature reduction treatment of the partitioned areas inside the chassis main body 1 can be realized. Using this cooling principle, the control method and positioning method for other partition conditions inside the chassis main body 1 are the same. The specific partition conditions and positioning positions can be selected according to the actual use scenario.

[0061] Furthermore, when the cooling pipe 303 of the partition cooling mechanism 3 is cooling and reducing the temperature, in addition to the coolant provided inside, in order to improve the cooling effect, a cooling air guiding structure is arranged on the side of the cooling pipe 303 for heat exchange. The specific structure is that the cooling air guiding mechanisms 305 on both sides of the surface of the same cooling pipe 303 are independently controlled, and the cooling air guiding mechanisms 305 on the same side of the surface of the same cooling pipe 303 are synchronously controlled. The cooling air guiding mechanism 305 is mainly used to blow out the cold air of the coolant inside the cooling pipe 303 through air cooling and exchange heat with the air inside the area, thereby realizing temperature reduction. Therefore, according to the use scenario and method of the cooling air guiding structure, the specific structure of the cooling air guiding mechanism 305 in actual use can be the existing fan structure inside the chassis main body 1. To improve the cooling efficiency of the cooling air guiding structure, the cooling air guiding mechanism 305 can adopt the same structure as the heat dissipation cooling mechanism 4. By using this structure, in actual use, the rotation speed of the cooling air guiding mechanism 305 can be directly controlled, and at the same time, the torsion angle can be automatically adjusted through the heat dissipation blades 406 during rotation to adjust the air intake volume. The specific structure type of the cooling air guiding structure is selected according to the actual use requirements and construction difficulty. Generally, an electric control structure is selected for easy one-key opening and closing. Specific Embodiment Three:

[0063] To increase the scalability during the use of the entire chassis main body 1 and the sharing of the cooling system, cooling connection grooves 11 for engaging with the cooling pipes 303 are provided on the main side surface of the chassis and the surface of the chassis backplane 2. Temperature monitoring components 12 are provided at multiple positions inside the chassis main body 1, and the temperature monitoring components 12 are electrically connected to both the partition cooling mechanism 3 and the heat dissipation cooling mechanism 4. After removing the sealing cap 306 at the end of the cooling pipe 303, a new cooling pipe 303 or other pipes are inserted between adjacent cooling connection grooves 11 to connect two chassis main bodies 1, so that the cooling pipes 303 inside one chassis main body 1 can be interconnected with the internal space of another chassis main body 1. After connection, the end is kept sealed. The inside of the other chassis main body 1 can be cooled by the cooling air guiding mechanism 305 on the surface of the newly connected cooling pipe 303. The cooling connection grooves 11 can be used for direct plugging and sealing between adjacent chassis main bodies 1 through the cooling pipes 303. Adjacent chassis main bodies 1 are interconnected through the cooling pipes 303. By reserving the cooling connection grooves 11 on the chassis main body 1, the interconnection between the chassis main body 1 with a cooling system and the ordinary chassis main body 1 is realized, the sharing of the cooling system and device is achieved, which is convenient for centrally cooling multiple chassis main bodies 1 during the use of the server, realizes the assembly between the chassis main bodies 1 and the sharing between the cooling systems, saves resources while improving the cooling efficiency of the chassis main body 1, and improves the scalability between the chassis main bodies 1.

[0064] Meanwhile, for local heat dissipation inside the chassis main body 1, auxiliary heat dissipation and temperature reduction are carried out through the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4. The specific structure is that the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4 includes a heat dissipation motor 402 and heat dissipation blades 406. A guiding frustum 403 is connected to the output shaft of the heat dissipation motor 402. Guiding spiral grooves 404 are circumferentially formed on the surface of the guiding frustum 403 to guide the movement of the heat dissipation blades 406, optimize the air duct, and enhance the guiding effect of the wind force. A traction spring 405 is arranged inside one end of the guiding spiral groove 404 close to the heat dissipation motor 402. The end of the traction spring 405 is connected to a guiding sliding seat 407. The top surface of the guiding sliding seat 407 abuts against the bottom surface of the heat dissipation blade 406. The heat dissipation motor 402 serves as the driving force for driving the heat dissipation blades 406. In actual use, it can be replaced with any motor of a suitable model. The heat dissipation motor 402 drives the heat dissipation blades 406 on its surface to rotate through the guiding frustum 403, realizes the diversion of the wind, and realizes the exchange of air. The guiding frustum 403 adopts a trapezoidal frustum structure, and the cross-section of the guiding frustum 403 at one end close to the heat dissipation motor 402 is smaller than that at the other end. In actual use, when the heat dissipation motor 402 rotates, it drives the guiding frustum 403 to rotate, and the heat dissipation blades 406 rotate synchronously. Under the action of the traction force, the guiding sliding seat 407 drives the heat dissipation blades 406 to slide inside the guiding spiral groove 404 towards one end of the air guiding platform 408. The traction spring 405 maintains the traction on the guiding sliding seat 407. As the rotational speed increases, the traction force on the edge of the heat dissipation blades 406 increases, driving the heat dissipation blades 406 to move. The heat dissipation blades 406 follow the shape of the guiding spiral groove 404, and the torsion angle of their own changes. As the angle deflects, the air intake volume of the entire heat dissipation blade 406 changes. When the rotational speed of the heat dissipation motor 402 decreases, the traction force becomes smaller, and under the action of the traction spring 405 again, the heat dissipation blades 406 gradually return to the initial position, thereby realizing the adjustment of the torsion angle of the heat dissipation blades 406, realizing the adjustment of the air intake volume, improving the heat dissipation efficiency, and thus controlling and adjusting the air intake volume and heat dissipation degree to be adapted without changing the volume and installation method of the heat dissipation blades 406, with high adaptability and being convenient for centralized adaptive heat dissipation treatment of the high-heat generation area inside the chassis main body 1.

[0065] To improve the heat dissipation effect and regulate the air volume guided by the entire heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4, blade diversion grooves 410 are staggeredly distributed on the back of the heat dissipation fins 406, which helps to more effectively disperse and guide the air flow, improve the heat dissipation efficiency. A wind guiding platform 408 is provided at the end of the guiding frustum 403, and wind guiding strips 409 are circumferentially distributed on the surface of the wind guiding platform 408.

The air volume brought out by the heat dissipation fins 406 is gathered by the wind guiding platform 408, and the air volume on the surface of the heat dissipation fins 406 is gathered through the cooperation of the wind guiding strips 409 and the wind guiding platform 408, facilitating the collection of heat energy for the energy storage mechanism 5. Specific Embodiment Four:

[0067] To improve the energy utilization rate of the entire device, an energy storage mechanism 5 is provided to convert the released heat energy. Specifically, the energy storage mechanism 5 includes a heat collection plate 501 and an energy storage component 503. The heat collection plate 501 is located on one side of the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4 on the surface of the control main board 6. An energy heat pipe 502 is connected to the surface of the heat collection plate 501. An energy storage component 503 is provided on one side of the inner bottom surface of the main chassis body 1. The top surface of the energy storage component 503 is connected to the bottom end of the energy heat pipe 502. A heat conduction hole 504 is provided on the surface of the heat collection plate 501 at the position where it coincides with the energy heat pipe 502.

Specific Embodiment Five:

[0070] This embodiment provides a cooling system applicable to the computer chassis described in any one of Embodiments One to Four, which includes the following:

[0071] A heat dissipation and cooling system, by controlling the heat dissipation and cooling mechanism 4, enables the heat dissipation motor 402 to autonomously adjust the rotation speed according to the temperature monitoring situation of the temperature monitoring component 12, and while rotating, perform self-adjustment of the torsion angle through the heat dissipation blades 406 to autonomously adjust and guide the air intake volume for adaptation;

[0072] A partition cooling system, through the cooling pipes 303 of the partition cooling mechanism 3, partitions the chassis main body 1, and makes the installation position of the temperature monitoring component 12 correspond to the partition position, and synchronizes the partition situation to the control system for feedback;

[0073] A cooling air guiding system, controls the partition cooling mechanism 3, analyzes the relationship between the area and the temperature by combining the internal computer algorithm, calculates the position of the cooling pipes 303 in the specified area and the control rate of the coolant flow rate, controls the opening and closing situation and the opening and closing rate of the cooling air guiding mechanisms 305 on both sides of the cooling pipes 303 in the specified area, and controls the equipment externally connected to the partition cooling mechanism 3;

[0074] A temperature monitoring system, monitors the temperature at the edge positions of the areas after the chassis main body 1 is partitioned, and feeds it back to the partition air guiding system, the heat dissipation and cooling system, and the control system;

[0075] A control system, connects, integrates, and controls each system, receives the data of the temperature monitoring system, sets the temperature monitoring threshold, automatically adjusts the states of the cooling air guiding system and the heat dissipation and cooling system, and maintains the stability of the temperature inside the chassis main body 1.

[0076] For the cooling control system of the chassis main body 1, the specific algorithm content is as follows:

[0077] Cooling air guiding system: Controls the partition cooling mechanism 3. According to the internal computer algorithm to analyze the relationship between the area and the temperature, calculates the position of the cooling pipe 303 and the flow control rate, and controls the opening and closing situation and the opening and closing rate of the cooling air guiding mechanism 305.

[0078] Temperature monitoring system: Monitors the temperature at the edge positions of the areas after partitioning the chassis main body 1, and feeds back the data to the heat dissipation cooling system and the control system;

[0079] Control system: Centralizes and integrates the functions of all the above systems, receives the temperature monitoring data, sets the temperature monitoring threshold, and automatically adjusts the states of other systems to ensure the stability of the temperature inside the chassis.

[0080] Heat dissipation adjustment algorithm: According to the data of the temperature monitoring component 12, dynamically adjusts the rotation speed of the heat dissipation motor 402 and the torsion angle of the heat dissipation fins 406 to adapt to the real-time cooling requirements inside the chassis main body 1.

[0081] The automatic adjustment of the torsion angle and rotation speed of the heat dissipation fins 406 enables the air intake volume to be optimized according to the change of the internal temperature, achieving more efficient heat dissipation.

[0082] This algorithm aims to automatically adjust the rotation speed and angle of the heat dissipation fins 406 according to the feedback of the temperature sensor.

[0083] Rotation speed adjustment formula:

[0084]

[0085] Where:

[0086] R is the rotation speed of the heat dissipation motor 402;

[0087] R min and R max are the minimum and maximum rotation speeds of the heat dissipation motor 402;

[0088] T current is the current temperature;

[0089] T min and T max are the set minimum and maximum temperature thresholds.

[0090] Heat dissipation fin 406 angle adjustment formula:

[0091]

[0092] Where:

[0093] θ is the twist angle of the heat dissipation fin 406;

[0094] θ min and θ max are the minimum and maximum angles of the heat dissipation fin 406.

[0095] The rotation speed of the fan and the angle of the heat dissipation fin 406 are adjusted according to the current temperature relative to the preset temperature threshold by the linear interpolation method. When the temperature rises, the rotation speed and the angle increase, thereby improving the cooling efficiency.

[0096] Partition control algorithm: The partition cooling system automatically adjusts the multi-way control valve 302 of the cooling pipe 303 in each area according to the temperature monitoring data of each area, and precisely controls the amount and rate of the coolant entering each area to ensure precise regional cooling.

[0098] Coolant flow control algorithm: This algorithm is used to control the multi-way control valve 302 to optimize the distribution of the coolant and ensure the efficiency of regional cooling.

[0099] Flow adjustment formula:

[0100] F = F base ×(1 + k×(T target - T current ))

[0101] Where:

[0102] F is the coolant flow rate entering a specific area;

[0103] F base is the basic flow rate setting;

[0104] T target is the target temperature setting;

[0105] T current is the current temperature,

[0106] k is the flow adjustment coefficient, which is used to enhance or weaken the response.

[0107] This formula adjusts the flow rate according to the difference between the target temperature and the current temperature to achieve a balance between rapid response and efficiency. If the current temperature is higher than the target temperature, the flow rate will increase to enhance the cooling effect.

[0108] The combination of these systems and algorithms not only improves the cooling efficiency but also increases the adaptive ability of the system, enabling it to automatically adjust the cooling strategy according to changes in internal conditions and achieve a better energy efficiency ratio.
