Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of heat dissipation of a server cabinet, and in particular to a server cabinet. In addition, the present invention also relates to a temperature control method applied to the server cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the locations of the air inlets and outlets of server cabinets are fixed. Since the servers inside the cabinets are usually arranged in upper and lower layers, there are significant differences in the ambient temperatures of servers at different heights. Specifically, the servers located on the upper layer of the cabinet are closer to the air outlets, so their heat dissipation conditions are relatively good and the temperature is lower. However, the servers located on the lower layer are affected by the heat dissipation of the upper layer servers, so their temperature is relatively high. This uneven temperature distribution will directly affect the operating efficiency and stability of the server.

[0003] In addition, different servers generate different amounts of heat during use. Some high-performance servers generate more heat due to their large computing workload, while some low-power servers generate relatively less heat. The existing unified heat dissipation method not only fails to meet the heat dissipation needs of different servers, but may also cause the heat of some high-temperature servers to be transferred to low-temperature servers, thereby exacerbating the problem of uneven temperature distribution, affecting the server's operating efficiency, and even leading to an increase in overall energy consumption and a reduction in the server's processing efficiency.

[0065] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0066] The core of the present application is to provide a server cabinet, which can adjust the position of the air duct according to the heat dissipation requirements of different servers, and can provide targeted heat dissipation for radiators with high heat dissipation requirements.

[0067] In addition, another core of the present invention is to provide a temperature control method applied to the above-mentioned server cabinet.

[0068] This specific embodiment discloses a server cabinet, including a cabinet body 1, an air guide device and a temperature detection component 36, wherein at least one partition layer for separating the installation area for installing the server is provided in the height direction of the cabinet body 1; the side wall of the cabinet body 1 is provided with a heat dissipation vent 13 for the internal gas to flow out and an air inlet 15 for the external gas to enter; the air guide device is arranged in the cabinet body 1, and the air inlet of the air guide device is connected with the air inlet 15; the air outlet 24 of the air guide device is movably arranged relative to the cabinet body 1 along the height direction of the cabinet body 1 to adjust the air outlet 24 to face the servers at different positions; the temperature detection component 36 is arranged in the cabinet body 1, and the temperature detection component 36 is used to detect the temperature of the corresponding server to obtain temperature information.

[0069] It should be noted that an air duct 11 is provided in the cabinet body 1 in this specific embodiment, and the air guide device and part of the side wall of the cabinet body 1 are enclosed to form the above-mentioned air duct 11. During actual use, the gas enters the air duct 11 from the air inlet 15, flows through the air duct 11, and is blown out from the air outlet 24.

[0070] In the server cabinet of this specific embodiment, multiple servers are arranged in the server cabinet, and the installation area in the cabinet body 1 is divided into multiple installation partitions at different heights by a partition layer. Multiple servers are arranged in different installation partitions. In actual use, due to different heat dissipation requirements of different servers or different heat dissipation conditions of different installation partitions, the temperature of individual servers may be too high. At this time, if the overall heat dissipation efficiency is adjusted, such as increasing the speed of the cooling fan, although the heat dissipation effect of the server with higher heat dissipation requirements can be met, the heat dissipation of other servers is also improved, resulting in unnecessary energy waste. Therefore, the server cabinet in this specific embodiment is mainly used to solve the heat dissipation requirements of individual servers with higher heat dissipation requirements, while avoiding energy waste.

[0071] During actual use of the server cabinet provided in this specific embodiment, the real-time temperature information of the corresponding server is detected by the temperature detection component 36. When it is detected that the temperature of a certain server is too high, the air outlet 24 can be controlled to move to the height position corresponding to the server with too high temperature, so that the air outlet 24 blows air toward the server with too high temperature, thereby increasing the gas flow rate passing through the periphery of the server with too high temperature, thereby increasing the heat dissipation efficiency of the server with too high temperature to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the server.

[0072] The server cabinet provided in this specific embodiment, during actual use, can adjust the position of the air outlet 24 in the air guide device to dissipate heat for individual servers in a targeted manner when the temperature of individual servers in the server cabinet is too high or when individual servers have high requirements for heat dissipation, thereby increasing the flow rate of the gas flowing through the periphery of the server, thereby increasing the heat exchange efficiency, and thus improving the heat dissipation effect of individual servers; it can effectively avoid the situation where the normal use of the server is affected by the heat dissipation of the server not meeting the requirements. At the same time, for all servers in the server cabinet body 1, it can avoid unified measures to improve the heat dissipation effect, which can effectively save energy.

[0073] On the basis of the above embodiment, the air guide device can be further made to include a first auxiliary air cover, a second auxiliary air cover 23, a main air cover 2 and a power component; a first slide groove 12 is arranged in the cabinet body 1; the first auxiliary air cover is provided with a first limiting slider 235 that can slide in the first slide groove 12 along the extension direction of the first slide groove 12; a second auxiliary air cover 23 is provided in the cabinet body 1; the second auxiliary air cover 23 is provided with a second limiting slider that can slide in the second slide groove along the extension direction of the second slide groove; the main air cover 2 is provided with an air outlet 24, and the air outlet 24 faces the installation area in the cabinet body 1 for installing the server; the main air cover 2 is slidably arranged along the height direction of the cabinet body 1 relative to the first auxiliary air cover and the second auxiliary air cover 23; the first fan 21 is arranged on the side of the main air cover 2 away from the installation area; the power assembly includes a power part 51 and a double-threaded screw 14, and the main air cover 2 is provided with a connecting frame 22 on the side away from the installation area, and the connecting frame 22 is provided with a threaded hole for threaded connection with the double-threaded screw 14.

[0074] Specifically, the power member 51 may be a servo motor or a rotary electric cylinder or other power structures that meet the requirements. The specific structure is determined according to the actual situation and will not be elaborated here.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the first and second air shields 23 are both provided with through holes 232 for the double-threaded screw 14 to pass through.

[0076] During actual use, the double-threaded screw 14 is driven to rotate by the power piece 51. During the rotation of the double-threaded screw 14, the connecting frame 22 is driven to move along the height direction of the cabinet body 1, so that the air outlet 24 on the main air cover 2 moves along the height direction of the cabinet body 1.

[0077] On the other hand, the wind guide device may further include a first elastic connector and a second elastic connector 233, wherein one end of the first elastic connector is connected to the first auxiliary wind shield, and the other end is connected to the main wind shield 2; one end of the second elastic connector 233 is connected to the second auxiliary wind shield 23, and the other end is connected to the main wind shield 2. Figure 6As shown, the first auxiliary wind hood and the second auxiliary wind hood 23 are both provided with a first pull plate 231, the main wind hood 2 is provided with a second pull plate 234, and the first elastic connector and the second elastic connector 233 are both connected to the first pull plate 231 at one end and connected to the second pull plate 234 at the other end.

[0078] The air guide device also includes a cleaning component, which includes a support frame 61, a cleaning frame 6 and a pull rod 63. The support frame 61 is arranged on the outer wall of the main wind hood 2; the support frame 61 has an extension along the length direction of the main wind hood 2; the length direction of the cleaning frame 6 is arranged along the width direction of the main wind hood 2, the cleaning frame 6 is slidably arranged along the support frame 61, and a cleaning brush 62 for cleaning the air outlet 24 of the main wind hood 2 is arranged on the side of the cleaning frame 6 facing the main wind hood 2; one end of the pull rod 63 is connected to the cleaning frame 6, and the other end is connected to the first auxiliary wind hood or the second auxiliary wind hood 23 through a third elastic connecting member 64. Figure 7 As shown, the first auxiliary wind shield and the second auxiliary wind shield 23 are provided with a third pull plate 65 , one end of the third elastic connecting member 64 is connected to the third pull plate 65 , and the other end is sleeved and connected to the pull rod 63 .

[0079] In this specific embodiment, the main air hood 2 is driven to move by a power component, and a first auxiliary air hood and a second auxiliary air hood 23 are set at the same time. In actual use, the first auxiliary air hood can be slidably arranged along the first slide groove 12, and the second auxiliary air hood 23 can be slidably arranged along the second slide groove; when the main air hood 2 moves upward along the height direction of the cabinet body 1, in the initial stage, the main air hood 2 will drive the first auxiliary air hood to slide upward in the first slide groove 12, and drive the second auxiliary air hood 23 to slide upward in the second slide groove; when the first limiting slider 235 slides to the end position of the first slide groove 12, the first auxiliary air hood can no longer rise synchronously with the main air hood 2 due to the restriction of the first slide groove 12. At this time, the main air hood 2 continues to be controlled to rise. During the rising process of the main air hood 2, the cleaning frame 6 slides along the supporting frame 61, and at the same time drives the cleaning brush 62 to move downward relative to the main air hood 2. Due to the relative movement of the cleaning brush 62 and the first air guide plate 25 at the air outlet 24, the air outlet can be cleaned. When the second limit slider slides to the end position of the second slide slot, the second auxiliary air hood 23 can no longer be synchronously lowered with the main air hood 2 by the restriction of the second slide slot. At this time, the main air hood 2 continues to be controlled to descend. During the descent of the main air hood 2, the cleaning frame 6 slides along the supporting frame 61 and drives the cleaning brush 62 to move upward relative to the main air hood 2. During the relative movement of the cleaning brush 62 and the first air guide plate 25 at the air outlet 24, the dust on the surface of the first air guide plate 25 at the air outlet 24 can be effectively cleaned. Thereby, during the up and down reciprocating movement of the main air hood 2, the cleaning brush 62 cleans the first air guide plate 25 at the air outlet 24.

[0080] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, a plurality of first air guide plates 25 and a wind direction adjusting power member 51 can be arranged at the air outlet 24, and bosses are arranged at both ends of the first air guide plate 25, and the bosses are rotatably arranged on the main wind hood 2, and the wind direction adjusting power member 51 is used to drive the first air guide plate 25 to rotate; the air outlet 24 covers at least a part of the end surface of the main wind hood 2 facing the installation area, and the first air guide plate 25 can be rotated to a first angle position, a second angle position or any angle position between the first angle position and the second angle position. When the first air guide plate 25 is located at the first angle position, the first air guide plate 25 is parallel to the end surface of the main wind hood 2 where the air outlet 24 is arranged, and blocks the air outlet 24. When the first air guide plate 25 is located at the second angle position, the first air guide plate 25 is perpendicular to the end surface of the main wind hood 2 where the air outlet 24 is arranged.

[0081] In this specific embodiment, the first air guide plate 25 at the air outlet 24 can be adjusted to different angles. For example, the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 at the middle position is perpendicular to the plane where the air outlet 24 in the main air hood 2 is located, so that the air blown by the first air guide plate 25 at the middle position is horizontally blown toward the server that needs heat dissipation, and the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 on the upper side is opposite to the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 on the lower side, and the angle between the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 on the upper side, the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 on the lower side, and the air outlet direction of the first air guide plate 25 at the middle position is 45°, so that the air blown by all the first air guide plates 25 is blown toward the servers that need heat dissipation.

[0082] It should be noted that, in this specific embodiment, by setting the first air guide plate 25 as a rotatable structure, the air outlet direction at the air outlet 24 can be effectively adjusted so that the air outlet 24 can be accurately aligned with the server that needs heat dissipation for targeted heat dissipation.

[0083] In addition, when the travel of the main air hood 2 is limited, the air outlet range of the air outlet 24 can be expanded by adjusting the air outlet direction of the air outlet 24, which is suitable for the case where multiple servers are installed in the cabinet body 1.

[0084] In this specific embodiment, the length direction of the first air guide plate 25 can be parallel to the bearing surface for bearing the server. By adjusting the rotation angle of the first air guide plate 25, the servers at different heights can be cooled; or the length direction of the first air guide plate 25 can be made to have a certain angle with the bearing surface for bearing the server. The specific angle is determined according to actual conditions and will not be elaborated here.

[0085] In a specific embodiment, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the cabinet body 1 is a rectangular structure, the heat dissipation port 13 is arranged on two opposite side surfaces of the cabinet body 1, the partition layer divides the installation area into at least two installation partitions, and any installation partition is provided with a corresponding heat dissipation port 13; a first dustproof net 32 ​​is provided at the heat dissipation port 13; a second dustproof net is provided at the air inlet 15; an air cooler 52 is provided at the air inlet 15, and the air outlet end of the air cooler 52 is connected to the air inlet 15 through a connecting pipe 53 to cool the gas entering the air inlet 15.

[0086] On the other hand, the air-guiding device can be provided with at least two main air hoods 2 along its width direction, and at least two main air hoods 2 are driven by different power components; in actual use, the position of the server where the heat dissipation effect needs to be improved can be cooled more accurately. For example, when the temperature of servers in the same installation area or a certain position of the same server is too high, only the air outlet 24 of the corresponding main air hood 2 can be moved to the corresponding position to dissipate heat more accurately.

[0087] In a specific embodiment, a display device may be provided on the outside of the cabinet body 1 at a location corresponding to each server, and the display device is used to display the real-time temperature information of the corresponding server detected by the temperature detection component 36; an alarm device may be provided on the outside of the cabinet body 1 at a location corresponding to each server, and the alarm device is used to issue an alarm message when the real-time temperature information of the corresponding server is greater than the maximum preset temperature and lasts for more than a preset time.

[0088] During actual use, display devices are provided at the corresponding server placement locations to display the temperature information of the servers at the corresponding locations. The specific display devices can display only the highest temperature of the server, or can display the server in a three-dimensional effect. The real-time temperature information of different server locations can be displayed, making it convenient for staff to intuitively observe the heat dissipation conditions of each server. When the real-time temperature information of the server does not meet the requirements, the real-time temperature information of the corresponding server is greater than the maximum preset temperature and continues for more than the preset time, the alarm device sends a warning message to avoid the server's temperature being too high and affecting normal use, which is conducive to the staff taking timely measures.

[0092] In this specific embodiment, the flexible connector is mainly used to connect the outer peripheral side of the installation frame and the outer peripheral edge of the air outlet 24 to avoid the formation of a gap between the installation frame and the outer peripheral edge of the air outlet 24 during the rotation of the installation frame, causing gas to flow out of the gap and affect the air outlet effect of the air outlet 24.

[0093] Specifically, the flexible connector can be configured as a foldable plastic structure or a fabric structure, etc., which is determined based on actual conditions.

[0094] Compared with the rotatable setting of the first air guide plate 25 in the above-mentioned embodiment, in this specific embodiment, the installation frame can be universally rotated as a whole relative to the main air cover 2, so that the adjustable range of the air outlet direction of the air outlet 24 is increased, and the air outlet direction at the air outlet 24 can be more accurately adjusted according to the position of the server that needs to dissipate heat.

The air duct 11 formed by the special-shaped structure and the cabinet body 1 covers the inner side surfaces of all side walls of the cabinet body 1, so that there is an air outlet 24 in any direction of the side wall in the cabinet body 1.

[0096] In actual use, according to the specific location of the server that needs heat dissipation in the cabinet body 1, the different air outlets 24 can be adjusted to blow air toward the server that needs heat dissipation, so as to further improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0099] It should be noted that the heat dissipation chamber 31 is not a closed cavity, and the gas can be discharged from the exhaust port 33. At the same time, the heat dissipation chamber 31 is connected to the heat dissipation port 13. In addition, ventilation holes can be provided in the heat dissipation chamber 31 so that the gas blown out from the air outlet 24 can enter the heat dissipation chamber 31 through the ventilation holes.

[0101] In the actual use of the server cabinet provided in this specific embodiment, the steps are as follows:

[0102] Step 1: The servers to be installed are fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 41 respectively;

[0103] Step 2: Monitor the temperature of each layer of servers in real time through the temperature detection member 36 set on the top wall of the heat sink 3, and feed back the real-time temperature information to the controller 5

[0104] Step 3: Control the cooling fan 52 to start, and control the power member 51 to drive the air guide device to move back and forth along the height direction of the cabinet body 1;

[0105] Step 4: The server transfers part of the heat to the heat dissipation fins 43 through the support frame 41, the heat-conducting seat 4, and the heat dissipation plate 42;

[0106] Step 5: The controller 5 controls the power part 51 and the second fan 34 on the inner wall of each layer of the heat sink 3 according to the real-time temperature information; specifically, when the real-time temperature information is within the preset temperature range, the current rotation speed of the second fan 34 is maintained; when the real-time temperature information is higher than the highest temperature within the preset temperature range, the second fan 34 is controlled to increase the rotation speed; when the real-time temperature information is lower than the lowest temperature within the preset temperature range, the second fan 34 is controlled to reduce the rotation speed; the heat generated by the server located under the heat sink 3 is absorbed into the heat sink 31 together with the air cooling and discharged to the outside of the cabinet through the first dustproof net 32, and at the same time, the heat absorbed by the heat sink fins 43 is taken away.

[0108] During actual use, when the temperature of a certain position of the server is too high, but the air outlet 24 cannot blow directly to the position with too high temperature, the rotating device can drive the support frame 41 to rotate, so that the server located on the support frame 41 rotates, and then the air outlet 24 can blow directly to the position with too high temperature in the server, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the server.

[0109] In addition, when the temperature of multiple servers is too high, but the air outlet range of the air outlet 24 is effective, the support frame 41 can be lifted and lowered by the lifting device to a position where the servers that need heat dissipation are installed more concentratedly, so as to achieve centralized heat dissipation for two or more servers.

[0112] Step S2, determining whether the real-time temperature information is within a preset temperature range, if so, maintaining the current state of the air guide device, if not, proceeding to step S3;

[0113] Step S3, determine whether the real-time temperature information is less than the minimum value of the preset temperature range. If so, control the air outlet 24 to move to a position away from the server corresponding to the real-time temperature information; if not, control the air outlet 24 to move to a position toward the server corresponding to the real-time temperature information.
