Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of data center refrigeration, and in particular to a high-efficiency refrigeration air duct for an IB switch. Background Art

[0002] In the current intelligent computing center and data communication field, IB (InfiniBand) switches are key devices for high-performance computing and data transmission, and their stable operation and efficient heat dissipation are crucial. However, traditional heat dissipation methods often have many shortcomings when dealing with the high heat load of IB switches.

[0003] First, traditional heat dissipation design usually separates the cooling equipment from the switch and dissipates heat through the air duct in the cabinet. However, this design often causes the hot air in the cabinet to blow into the switch again, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation and energy waste. At the same time, the cooling air is dispersed in the cabinet and cannot be guaranteed to blow directly and efficiently into the switch, further reducing the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0004] Secondly, without air ducts, the heat dissipation components of the IB switch are directly exposed in the cabinet after being deployed on the rack, which not only has a poor heat dissipation effect, but also affects the appearance and neatness of the entire cabinet. This is obviously an issue that cannot be ignored for intelligent computing centers that pursue efficiency, beauty and modernization.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a design scheme for an efficient cooling air duct of an IB switch. The air duct, as an extension of the IB switch, can be directly connected to the switch to form a heat dissipation channel. Through this design, cooling air can be directly and efficiently blown into the switch through the air duct, effectively eliminating the problem of hot air entering the switch for the second time, while improving the cooling efficiency and achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0006] In addition, the design of the air duct also fully considers the requirements of aesthetics and neatness. After the air duct is connected, the IB switch is more beautiful and harmonious after being deployed on the rack, which complements the style of the entire cabinet. This not only improves the overall image of the intelligent computing center, but also improves the user experience and maintenance convenience of the equipment. Summary of the invention

[0007] The present application aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to some extent.

[0008] To this end, the first purpose of the present application is to provide an efficient cooling air duct for an IB switch. The air duct, as an extension of the IB switch, can be directly connected to the switch to form a heat dissipation channel, which enables the cooling air to be blown directly and efficiently into the switch, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency. Through the design of the air duct, the problem of hot air entering the switch for the second time is effectively eliminated, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the switch.

[0009] The second purpose of the present application is to provide an IB switch with an efficient cooling air duct. Since the cooling air can be blown directly into the switch and the hot air will not flow back, this solution not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the energy consumption of the refrigeration system, thereby achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0010] The third object of the present application is to provide an IB switch with an efficient cooling air duct. The design of the air duct fully considers the requirements of aesthetics and neatness. After the air duct is connected, the IB switch is more beautiful and harmonious after being deployed on the rack, which complements the style of the entire cabinet.

[0011] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the first aspect of the present application proposes an IB switch high-efficiency cooling air duct, comprising an air duct body, wherein the air duct body is designed to be directly connected to the heat dissipation components of the IB switch; the air duct body has a special physical isolation structure.

[0012] An embodiment of the present application provides an efficient cooling air duct for an IB switch. The air duct serves as an extension of the IB switch and can be directly connected to the switch to form a heat dissipation channel, so that cooling air can be directly and efficiently blown into the switch, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and preventing hot air from flowing back, thereby ensuring stable operation of the switch. At the same time, the design reduces energy consumption and achieves energy saving. In addition, the air duct also improves the aesthetics, making the switch and the cabinet style harmonious and unified.

[0013] In addition, the IB switch high-efficiency cooling air guide slot proposed in the present application may also have the following additional technical features:

[0014] In one embodiment of the present application, a plurality of air guide plates are arranged inside the air guide slot body, a plurality of air guide channels are formed between the plurality of air guide plates, and each of the air guide channels corresponds to a heat dissipation component of a switch.

[0015] In one embodiment of the present application, the air guide groove body is also provided with a connection structure matching the air outlet of the refrigeration system to ensure that the cooling air can smoothly enter the air guide groove.

[0016] In one embodiment of the present application, the material of the air guide groove body is a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant material to meet the requirements of long-term use and convenient installation.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present application, the material is an alloy material.

[0018] The advantages of this application compared with the existing technology are:

[0019] (1) As an extension of the IB switch, the air duct can be directly connected to the switch to form a heat dissipation channel. This allows the cooling air to be blown directly and efficiently into the switch, effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The design of the air duct effectively prevents the problem of hot air entering the switch for the second time, thereby ensuring the stable operation of the switch.

[0020] (2) Since the cooling air can be blown directly into the switch and the hot air will not flow back, this solution not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the energy consumption of the refrigeration system, achieving the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction.

[0021] (3) The design of the air duct fully considers the requirements of aesthetics and neatness. After the air duct is connected, the IB switch is more beautiful and harmonious after being deployed on the rack, which complements the style of the entire cabinet.

[0028] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limitations on the present application. On the contrary, the embodiments of the present application include all changes, modifications and equivalents that fall within the spirit and connotation of the appended claims.

[0029] The following describes an efficient cooling air duct of an IB switch according to an embodiment of the present application in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, an efficient cooling air duct of an IB switch in an embodiment of the present application may include an air duct body 1, wherein the air duct body 1 is designed to be directly connected to the heat dissipation component of the IB switch, and the air duct body 1 has a special physical isolation structure.

[0031] It is understandable that the IB switch high-efficiency cooling air duct in the embodiment is mainly composed of the air duct body 1. This design is intended to optimize the heat dissipation performance of the IB switch in the intelligent computing center. Specifically, the air duct body 1 is carefully designed to be directly connected to the heat dissipation components of the IB switch. The advantage of this layout is that it enables the air duct to directly cool the heat dissipation components, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] More importantly, a special physical isolation structure is integrated into the air guide slot body 1. The main purpose of this design is to effectively prevent the heated air, i.e., the secondary hot air, from entering the switch again. In traditional cooling methods, due to the lack of effective isolation measures, hot air often circulates into the switch, resulting in uneven heat dissipation, low cooling efficiency and other problems. The special physical isolation structure of the present invention can completely solve this problem. It ensures that the cooling air can smoothly enter the air guide slot and blow directly to the heat dissipation components, while preventing the backflow of hot air.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of air guide plates 2 are arranged inside the air guide slot body 1, and a plurality of air guide channels 3 are formed between the plurality of air guide plates 2, and each air guide channel 3 corresponds to a heat dissipation component of a switch.

[0034] It is understandable that a plurality of air guide plates 2 are cleverly arranged inside the air guide slot body 1. These air guide plates 2 are arranged at certain intervals and angles inside the air guide slot body 1, thereby forming a plurality of air guide channels 3. Each air guide channel 3 is carefully designed to ensure that it can accurately correspond to a heat dissipation component of the IB switch.

[0035] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air guide groove body 1 is also provided with a connection structure matching the air outlet of the refrigeration system to ensure that the refrigeration air can smoothly enter the air guide groove.

[0036] It is understandable that in order to ensure that the cooling air can efficiently enter the air guide slot and achieve the best heat dissipation effect, the air guide slot body 1 is specially designed with a connection structure that matches the air outlet of the refrigeration system.

[0037] In actual application, when the refrigeration system is started, the cooling air will smoothly enter the air guide slot body 1 along the air outlet. Due to the close fit of the connection structure, the cooling air will not be excessively obstructed or lost during the transmission process, thereby maintaining a high flow rate and pressure, ensuring that the heat dissipation components can be fully and evenly cooled.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the material of the air guide slot body 1 is a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant material to meet the needs of long-term use and convenient installation, and the material is an alloy material.

[0039] It is understandable that in order to meet the requirements of long-term use and convenient installation, the air guide slot body 1 is made of a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant alloy material.

[0040] First, the lightweight property makes the air guide trough body 1 lighter, easier to carry and position during installation, thereby reducing the difficulty and cost of installation. At the same time, the lightweight material also helps to reduce the weight of the entire refrigeration system and improve the stability and safety of the system.

[0041] Secondly, the high strength ensures that the air guide slot body 1 can withstand greater mechanical and thermal stresses during use and is not easily deformed or damaged. This is crucial to maintaining the accuracy and stability of the air guide channel 3, ensuring that the cooling air can be blown smoothly to the heat dissipation components along a predetermined path.

[0042] In addition, the corrosion resistance allows the air duct body 1 to be used for a long time in a harsh working environment without corrosion or rust, which is of great significance for maintaining the cleanliness and heat dissipation efficiency of the air duct, and also prolongs the service life of the air duct.

[0043] Specific steps:

[0044] Step 1: Preparation and Installation

[0048] According to the layout of the heat dissipation components, an air guide slot body 1 of appropriate size and configuration is selected.

[0049] 1.3 Install the air guide slot body

[0050] Connect the air duct body 1 precisely to the heat dissipation component of the IB switch. Use appropriate fixings or installation tools to ensure that the air duct body 1 is firmly fixed to the switch to avoid movement or deformation during use.

[0051] Step 2: Connect the refrigeration system

[0052] 2.1 Prepare the refrigeration system

[0053] Ensure that the refrigeration system has been installed and debugged, and that the position and size of the air outlet match the connection structure of the air guide slot body 1.

[0054] 2.2 Connect the refrigeration system and the air guide slot

[0055] Use appropriate connectors to tightly connect the air outlet of the refrigeration system to the connection structure of the air guide slot body 1. Ensure that there is no leakage or looseness at the connection to ensure that the cooling air can smoothly enter the air guide slot.

[0056] 2.3 Start the refrigeration system

[0057] After confirming that the connection is correct, start the cooling system and observe whether the cooling air flows smoothly into the air guide slot and blows toward the heat dissipation components.

[0058] Step 3: Monitoring and maintenance

[0059] 3.1 Monitoring the cooling effect

[0060] Monitor the heat dissipation of the IB switch regularly to ensure that the temperature of the heat dissipation components remains within a safe range. If the temperature rises abnormally, check the working status of the air duct and cooling system in time.

[0061] 3.2 Cleaning and maintenance

[0062] Clean the air guide slot body 1 and air guide plate 2 regularly to remove accumulated dust and dirt. At the same time, check whether the connection structure and fixings are loose or damaged, and repair or replace them in time if necessary.

The air duct, as an extension of the IB switch, can be directly connected to the switch to form a heat dissipation channel, so that the cooling air can be directly and efficiently blown into the switch, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and preventing hot air from flowing back, thereby ensuring stable operation of the switch. At the same time, the design reduces energy consumption and achieves energy saving. In addition, the air duct also improves the aesthetics, making the switch and the cabinet style harmonious and unified.
