Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to servers and data centers. Background Art

[0002] In order to improve the maximum specification support, the front and back of the server are filled with various functional modules to facilitate direct front and back maintenance or connection. At present, the server usually adopts a front air intake design. The cold air enters from the front of the server, is accelerated by the internal high-efficiency fan system, passes through the internal components of the server, and the hot air carrying heat is discharged from the rear end of the server, forming an air flow path from front to back. However, the hard disk component of the server is usually installed in the front of the server chassis, and high-performance modules such as the processor (CPU) and graphics processing unit (GPU) are usually set at the rear of the server chassis. This layout causes the cold air to be initially heated when it flows through the hard disk. Then, the heated air continues to flow backward to cool the high-performance modules at the rear. However, the cooling efficiency of the cold air has been significantly reduced in this process. The huge heat generated by the high-performance modules at the rear of the server chassis during high-load operation is difficult to be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, resulting in an increase in the internal temperature of the server, which in turn causes a series of problems such as reduced equipment performance, reduced stability, and even shortened life. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a server and a data center to solve the problem that the cooling efficiency of cold air is reduced and the huge heat generated by the high-performance module at the rear of the server chassis during high-load operation is difficult to be dissipated promptly and effectively.

[0004] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a server, comprising a server chassis, a first heat dissipation component and a cooling fin: a front functional module and a rear functional module are provided inside the server chassis, and the front functional module and the rear functional module are arranged sequentially along a first direction; the first heat dissipation component is arranged inside the server chassis, comprising a first heat sink and a first fan module, and the first heat sink and the first fan module are arranged sequentially between the front functional module and the rear functional module along the first direction; a cooling fin is arranged on a side wall of the server chassis along a second direction, comprising a cold end and a hot end, and the cold end is abutted against the first heat sink; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0005] Beneficial effect: The first heat sink can absorb the heat in the surrounding air by exchanging heat with the surrounding air. The first heat sink is in contact with the cold end of the refrigeration plate, which ensures that the heat of the first heat sink can be efficiently transferred to the refrigeration plate. According to the principle of thermoelectric effect, the refrigeration plate transfers the heat accumulated at the cold end to its hot end. Since the refrigeration plate is arranged on the side wall of the server chassis, the heat can be discharged from the inside of the server chassis, which significantly reduces the heat load inside the server chassis and optimizes the internal thermal environment. Moreover, under the continuous action of the thermoelectric effect, the cold end can be maintained in a stable low-temperature state, thereby constructing an internal cold source for the server. Since the first heat sink is in contact with the refrigeration plate, the heat of the first heat sink is effectively reduced. The direct contact of the cold end of the cold plate can effectively reduce the temperature of the first heat sink through heat conduction; then the first heat sink exchanges heat with the surrounding air to reduce the temperature of the surrounding air; and because the first heat sink and the first fan module are arranged in sequence along the first direction, it is ensured that the cold air after cooling by the first heat sink can flow to the rear functional module in a directed and smooth manner, providing the rear functional module with a continuous cooling air flow with appropriate temperature, thereby ensuring that the rear functional module operates stably and efficiently in a low temperature environment; it not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency inside the server chassis, but also significantly enhances the overall heat dissipation performance, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the server.

[0006] In an optional embodiment, a second heat dissipation component is further included, which is arranged on the outside of the server chassis and abuts against the hot end, and is suitable for dissipating heat from the hot end.

[0007] Beneficial effect: By setting up a second heat dissipation component, the rate and efficiency of heat discharge from the hot end of the refrigeration plate are significantly enhanced, ensuring that the hot end of the refrigeration plate can effectively and quickly release the accumulated heat during continuous operation, thereby maintaining the overall cooling efficiency of the refrigeration plate in an optimal state, ensuring that the refrigeration plate can work stably and efficiently for a long time, providing a continuous and reliable low-temperature environment inside the server chassis, and ensuring the efficient operation of the overall heat dissipation structure and the stability of server operation.

[0012] In an optional implementation, the air inlet of the second fan module is suitable for being arranged on one side of the cabinet opening.

[0013] Beneficial effects: By setting the air inlet of the second fan module on one side of the cabinet opening, cold air is attracted from the front of the cabinet and the heat source is discharged to the back of the cabinet, which is consistent with the airflow direction of the server; the heat generated during the operation of the server is effectively directed to the back of the cabinet, thereby achieving directional discharge of the heat source; it not only complies with the directional principle of the natural flow of airflow inside the server, but also significantly improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency and thermal management capabilities of the cabinet; it also helps to maintain the uniformity of temperature inside the cabinet, reduce the formation of hot spots, and provide a more stable and reliable working environment for the server.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the refrigeration fin, the first fan module and the second fan module are all suitable for connecting to a control system of a server, and the control system controls the power of the refrigeration fin, the first fan module and the second fan module according to temperature data inside the server.

[0015] Beneficial effects: Since the cooling plate, the first fan module and the second fan module are all connected to the control system of the server, the control system can control the activation status of the cooling plate, the first fan module and the second fan module, and can also automatically adjust the rotation speed of the first fan module and the second fan module and the power of the cooling plate according to the real-time monitoring data of the internal temperature of the server chassis to achieve the best heat dissipation effect; through the automatic adjustment function of the control system, it is ensured that when the server is facing high-load operation, it can respond quickly and provide sufficient cooling support, effectively prevent the temperature from rising, and ensure the stable operation of the server; at the same time, when the server load is low, the intelligent control system can intelligently reduce the power output of the cooling plate, the first fan module and the second fan module, which not only effectively reduces the equipment operation noise, but also reduces unnecessary energy consumption, and achieves while improving the heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring the stability of the system, it also takes into account the environmental protection needs of energy saving and emission reduction.

The continuous effectiveness of the electrical connection can be maintained without complicated disassembly and assembly steps. It not only greatly improves the maintenance convenience and operating efficiency of the server, reduces the workload and time cost of maintenance personnel, but also significantly reduces the risk of faults such as poor electrical connection and short circuit caused by the disassembly and assembly process, further enhancing the overall reliability and stability of the server.

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are 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 those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] In the server architecture, the hard disk is usually set at the front of the server chassis 1 as a front functional module. The original intention of this layout is to optimize the convenience of data access. However, when the hard disk reaches the full configuration state, it will inevitably block the air inlet, reducing the cold air entering the server chassis 1; on the other hand, the opening at the rear end of the server chassis 1 serves as the main channel for hot air discharge. However, due to the dense layout of rear functional modules such as expansion cards and network interface cards, the effective area of ​​the air outlet is reduced, and the air duct is not smooth, which seriously restricts the natural convection and discharge efficiency of hot air, directly leading to the problem of heat accumulation inside the server, resulting in uneven temperature distribution inside the server, and may also cause system performance degradation, reduced stability and even hardware damage due to local overheating.

[0035] Combine the following Figures 1 to 6 , describing an embodiment of the present invention.

[0036] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the one hand, a server is provided, including a server chassis 1, a first heat dissipation component 2 and a cooling fin 3: a front functional module and a rear functional module are provided inside the server chassis 1, and the front functional module and the rear functional module are arranged in sequence along a first direction; the first heat dissipation component 2 is arranged inside the server chassis 1, including a first heat sink 21 and a first fan module 22, and the first heat sink 21 and the first fan module 22 are arranged in sequence between the front functional module and the rear functional module along the first direction; the cooling fin 3 is arranged on the side wall of the server chassis 1 along the second direction, including a cold end and a hot end, and the cold end is abutted against the first heat sink 21; the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0037] The first heat sink 21 can absorb the heat in the surrounding air by exchanging heat with the surrounding air. The first heat sink 21 is in contact with the cold end of the cooling plate 3, which ensures that the heat of the first heat sink 21 can be efficiently transferred to the cooling plate 3. According to the principle of thermoelectric effect, the cooling plate 3 transfers the heat accumulated at the cold end to its hot end. Since the cooling plate 3 is arranged on the side wall of the server chassis 1, the heat can be discharged from the inside of the server chassis 1, which significantly reduces the heat load inside the server chassis 1 and optimizes the internal thermal environment. Under the continuous action of the thermoelectric effect, the cold end can be maintained in a stable low-temperature state, thereby constructing an internal cold source for the server. The direct contact of the cold end of the sheet 3 can effectively reduce the temperature of the first heat sink 21 through heat conduction; then the first heat sink 21 exchanges heat with the surrounding air to reduce the temperature of the surrounding air; and because the first heat sink 21 and the first fan module 22 are arranged in sequence along the first direction, it is ensured that the cold air after the cooling treatment by the first heat sink 21 can flow to the rear functional module in a directed and smooth manner, providing the rear functional module with a continuous cooling air flow with appropriate temperature, thereby ensuring that the rear functional module operates stably and efficiently in a low temperature environment; not only the heat dissipation efficiency inside the server chassis 1 is improved, but also the overall heat dissipation performance is significantly enhanced, providing a guarantee for the stable operation of the server.

[0038] Specifically, a first thermal pad 23 is provided between the first heat sink 21 and the cooling fin 3 .

[0039] Specifically, the cooling fins 3 are made of semiconductor materials.

[0040] In one embodiment, a second heat dissipation component 4 is further included. The second heat dissipation component 4 is arranged on the outside of the server chassis 1 and abuts against the hot end, and is suitable for dissipating heat from the hot end.

[0041] By providing the second heat dissipation component 4, the rate and efficiency of heat discharge from the hot end of the refrigeration plate 3 are significantly enhanced, ensuring that the hot end of the refrigeration plate 3 can effectively and quickly release the accumulated heat during continuous operation, thereby maintaining the overall cooling efficiency of the refrigeration plate 3 in an optimal state, ensuring that the refrigeration plate 3 can work stably and efficiently for a long time, providing a continuous and reliable low-temperature environment for the inside of the server chassis 1, and ensuring the efficient operation of the overall heat dissipation structure and the stability of server operation.

[0042] In one embodiment, the second heat dissipation assembly 4 includes a second heat sink 41 , which is disposed on the outside of the server chassis 1 and abuts against the hot end.

[0043] By arranging the second heat sink 41 to abut the hot end of the refrigeration fin 3, it is ensured that the heat accumulated at the hot end of the refrigeration fin 3 can be quickly and effectively transferred to the second heat sink 41; the second heat sink 41 uses its larger surface area to exchange heat with the external environment, thereby efficiently dissipating the heat, effectively maintaining the temperature of the hot end of the refrigeration fin 3 within a controllable range, thereby ensuring the efficient and stable operation of the entire heat dissipation structure.

[0044] Specifically, a second thermal pad 43 is provided between the second heat sink 41 and the cooling fin 3 .

[0045] In one embodiment, the second heat dissipation assembly 4 further includes a second fan module 42 , and the second fan module 42 is disposed adjacent to the second heat dissipation fins 41 along the first direction.

[0046] Since the second fan module 42 and the second heat sink 41 are arranged adjacent to each other along the first direction, and the second fan module 42 can generate directional airflow, the heat exchange process between the surface of the second heat sink 41 and the surrounding air is accelerated, thereby significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat sink 41; it not only promotes the rapid release of heat by the second heat sink 41, but also ensures the smooth and efficient flow of heat in the entire heat dissipation structure, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the server.

[0047] In one embodiment, the air inlet of the second fan module 42 is suitable for being arranged at one side of the cabinet opening.

[0048] By setting the air inlet of the second fan module 42 on one side of the cabinet opening, cold air is attracted from the front of the cabinet and the heat source is discharged to the back of the cabinet, which is consistent with the airflow direction of the server; the heat generated during the operation of the server is effectively directed to the back of the cabinet, thereby realizing directional discharge of the heat source; not only does it comply with the directional principle of the natural flow of airflow inside the server, but it also significantly improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency and thermal management capabilities of the cabinet; it also helps to maintain the uniformity of the temperature inside the cabinet, reduces the formation of hot spots, and provides a more stable and reliable working environment for the server.

[0049] In one embodiment, the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42 are all suitable for being connected to a control system of a server, and the control system controls the power of the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42 according to the temperature data inside the server.

[0050] Since the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42 are all connected to the control system of the server, the control system can control the activation status of the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42, and can also automatically adjust the rotation speed of the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42 and the power of the cooling plate 3 according to the real-time monitoring data of the internal temperature of the server chassis 1 to achieve the best heat dissipation effect; through the automatic adjustment function of the control system, it is ensured that when the server is facing high-load operation, it can respond quickly and provide sufficient cooling support, effectively prevent the temperature from rising, and ensure the stable operation of the server; at the same time, when the server load is low, the intelligent control system can intelligently reduce the power output of the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42, which not only effectively reduces the equipment operation noise, but also reduces unnecessary energy consumption, achieving the improvement of heat dissipation efficiency and ensuring system stability while taking into account the environmental protection needs of energy saving and emission reduction.

[0051] In a specific implementation, multiple temperature sensors are provided inside the server, and the multiple temperature sensors are connected to the control system and transmit temperature data to the control system. The control system adjusts the power of the cooling plate 3, the first fan module 22 and the second fan module 42 in real time according to the temperature data.

[0065] By arranging the heat dissipation rail 6 above the sliding structure 5, on the one hand, efficient heat conduction is promoted, and the heat accumulation problem of the server system when running at high load is effectively alleviated; on the other hand, the heat dissipation rail 6 is used as the installation base of the second heat dissipation component 4, so that the second heat dissipation component 4 is stably installed, and the utilization efficiency of the space above the sliding structure 5 is improved, and the space that may have been idle is converted into a functional heat dissipation area, thereby optimizing the spatial layout.

[0066] In one embodiment, a spring terminal is further included, and the second heat dissipation component 4 is electrically connected to the server through the spring terminal.

[0067] The electrical connection between the second heat dissipation component 4 and the server is achieved through spring terminals. Since the spring terminals are elastic, the electrical connection between the second heat dissipation component 4 and the server can maintain a high degree of stability even during dynamic operations such as moving, pulling out or adjusting the server, effectively avoiding the loosening or disconnection problems that are prone to occur in traditional fixed connection methods in dynamic environments. The continuous effectiveness of the electrical connection can be maintained without complicated disassembly and assembly steps, which not only greatly improves the maintenance convenience and operating efficiency of the server, reduces the workload and time cost of maintenance personnel, but also significantly reduces the risk of failures such as poor electrical connection and short circuit caused by the disassembly and assembly process, further enhancing the overall reliability and stability of the server.

[0071] Preferably, when the server is installed in place in the cabinet, the first fan power connector 7 is located on the side of the second fan power connector 8 close to the cabinet opening. During the process of pulling out the server, the connection stability between the spring terminal and the first fan power connector 7 or the second fan power connector 8 is also ensured, thereby avoiding problems such as poor contact, signal interruption or physical damage that may be caused by rotation of the connection direction.

[0072] Preferably, a first long groove is provided on the outer wall of the server chassis 1, and the first long groove extends along the first direction to the tail of the server chassis 1 and corresponds to the position of the heat dissipation rail 6. The first fan power connector 7 is arranged in the first long groove, providing a smooth movement channel for the spring terminal; during dynamic operations such as moving, pulling out or adjusting the server, the spring terminal can stretch freely in the first long groove without hindrance, avoiding dragging and wear of the spring terminal between the heat dissipation rail 6 and the server chassis 1, thereby ensuring the stability and durability of the connection between the spring terminal and the first fan power connector 7 and the second fan power connector 8.
