[0015] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0016] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a heat dissipation device for a server comprises a server frame 1, side panels 2 detachably mounted on the left and right sides of the server frame 1, a top cover 3 fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the server frame 1, and a bottom cover 4 fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the server frame 1. The server frame 1, the side panels 2, the top cover 3, and the bottom cover 4 together constitute a server bearing base box body, which can be used for installing and using the server. A heat dissipation mechanism 1 and a heat dissipation mechanism 2 are respectively mounted on the front and rear ends of the server frame 1. The heat dissipation mechanism 1 and the heat dissipation mechanism 2 can respectively transport gas to one end of the server frame 1 and transport and discharge the hot gas inside the server frame 1. The heat generated inside the server base frame 1 is heat exchanged by using gas as a medium to reduce the internal temperature of the server base frame 1. Side mounting plates 10 are provided on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the server base frame 1. Circuit board assemblies 11 are fixedly installed on the sides of the two side mounting plates 10 close to each other. A heat dissipation module is installed on the side of the circuit board assembly 11 away from the side mounting plates 10. The heat dissipation module can facilitate the internal heat exchange of the server base frame 1. A power supply 9 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the server base frame 1. The power supply 9 is compatible with the structural size and position of the server base frame 1. The power supply 9 can be connected to an external power supply to power the power consumption unit inside the server base frame 1.

[0017] Furthermore, in an embodiment, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a mounting base plate 7 detachably mounted on the front surface of the server base frame 1 and three air intake fans 8 rotatably mounted on the mounting base plate 7 through free rotation units, and the free rotation unit can be controlled and adjusted to realize free rotation of the respective air intake fans 8 in the horizontal and vertical directions for heat dissipation; the air outside the server base frame 1 can be transported to the inside of the server base frame 1 through the arranged air intake fans 8, and air-cooling heat exchange is performed by utilizing the fact that the temperature of the external gas of the server base frame 1 is lower than the temperature of the server base frame 1, thereby taking away the heat generated inside the server base frame 1 through the flowing gas.

[0018] In addition, the heat dissipation mechanism 2 includes a mounting base 2 5 detachably mounted on the rear surface of the server base 1 and three exhaust fans 6 respectively mounted on the mounting base 2 5 through free rotation units; by controlling and adjusting the free rotation unit, it is possible to drive each exhaust fan 6 to freely rotate in the horizontal and vertical directions to "absorb heat"; the exhaust fans 6 can further increase the flow speed of the airflow inside the server base 1, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect inside the server base 1.

[0019] Example 2 On the basis of Example 1, in order to achieve better heat dissipation for the server, each of the inlet fans 8 and the exhaust fans 6 are freely rotatably installed through a free rotation unit in a hole specially provided for connecting the mounting substrate 1 7 of the inlet fan 8 and the mounting substrate 2 5 of the exhaust fan 6; that is, the free rotation unit for driving the exhaust fan 6 has the same structure and function as the inlet fan 8, and is specifically implemented as follows: The free-rotating unit includes a free-rotating outer connecting frame 15 and a free-rotating inner connecting frame 16. The free-rotating inner connecting frame 16 is rotatably installed and connected in the free-rotating outer connecting frame 15. The inlet fan 8 or the exhaust fan 6 is installed and connected in the free-rotating outer connecting frame 16. The free-rotating outer connecting frame 15 is rotatably installed and connected in the mounting hole opened in the mounting substrate 1 7 or the mounting substrate 2 5.

[0020] In addition, one side of the freely rotating external connection frame 15 is rotatably connected to a side wall of the mounting hole in the horizontal direction through a horizontal rotating shaft; the other side of the freely rotating external connection frame 15 is rotatably connected to the other side wall of the mounting hole in the horizontal direction through a ball joint structure 151; one end of the horizontal rotating shaft away from the freely rotating external connection frame 15 is connected to a horizontal driving micro motor for driving the horizontal rotating shaft to rotate, and the horizontal driving micro motor is installed in a hole on the side wall of the mounting hole.

[0021] At the same time, one end face of the freely rotating inner connecting frame 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the freely rotating outer connecting frame through a first vertical rotating shaft; the other end face of the freely rotating inner connecting frame 16 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the freely rotating outer connecting frame 15 away from the first vertical rotating shaft through a second vertical rotating shaft; a vertical driving micro motor for driving the second vertical rotating shaft to rotate is installed on the second vertical rotating shaft, and the vertical driving micro motor is used to be installed in a side wall hole of one end face of the freely rotating outer connecting frame 15 close to the second vertical rotating shaft.

[0022] By means of this arrangement, the unit can be freely rotated, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 As shown, that is, the ball joint structure 151 set on one side wall of the freely rotating external connection frame 15 can be "rotatably hinged" with the horizontal side wall of the mounting hole opened in the mounting substrate 1 7 or the mounting substrate 2 5, and the other horizontal side of the freely rotating external connection frame 15 is rotationally connected to the horizontal driving micro motor through a horizontal rotating shaft, and the horizontal driving micro motor is installed in the side wall hole of the mounting hole. By controlling the horizontal driving micro motor to drive the horizontal rotating shaft to rotate, under the rotation limiting action of the ball joint structure 151, it is possible to drive the rotating external connection frame 15 to "rotate vertically" in the mounting hole, thereby driving the exhaust fan 6 and the inlet fan 8 installed and connected in the rotating internal connection frame 16 to "move vertically to dissipate heat inside the server (inlet fan 8 for intake heat dissipation, exhaust fan 6 for suction heat dissipation)".

[0023] At the same time, the second vertical rotating shaft is driven to rotate by the vertical driving micro motor. Under the action of the rotation limit of the first vertical rotating shaft, the freely rotating inner connecting frame 16 arranged in the freely rotating outer connecting frame 15 is driven to "rotate horizontally", thereby driving the exhaust fan 6 and the inlet fan 8 installed on the freely rotating inner connecting frame 16 to "move horizontally to dissipate heat inside the server".

[0024] Therefore, the free-rotating unit can drive the exhaust fan 6 and the inlet fan 8 to perform active heat dissipation in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby achieving the purpose of heat dissipation for each location inside the server that requires heat dissipation and improving the efficiency of heat dissipation.

[0025] Example 3 Specifically, the heat dissipation module includes a trapezoidal guide plate 12 arranged on one side of the circuit board assembly 11, a plurality of corrugated heat exchange sheets 14 fixedly installed on the side of the trapezoidal guide plate 12 away from the circuit board assembly 11, and a thermally conductive silicone pad 13 fixedly installed on the side of the trapezoidal guide plate 12 close to the circuit board assembly 11. The trapezoidal guide plate 12 contacts the circuit board assembly 11 through the thermally conductive silicone pad 13, and the plurality of corrugated heat exchange sheets 14 are arranged in a straight line with equal spacing in the length direction of the trapezoidal guide plate 12. The flowing gas entering the server base frame 1 can be discharged along the two trapezoidal guide plates. The ventilation duct formed between the flow plates 12 flows, and since the middle distance between the two trapezoidal guide plates 12 is closer than the end distance, the airflow velocity can be accelerated when the airflow enters the ventilation duct, and at the same time, the corrugated heat exchange plate 14 can exchange heat with the gas flowing through, and transfer the heat to the flowing gas for heat dissipation. At the same time, when the gas flows along the corrugated heat exchange plate 14, the time of the flowing gas in the ventilation duct can be further increased, and the problem of reduced heat exchange efficiency caused by the reduced contact time with the corrugated heat exchange plate 14 due to the high airflow velocity is further compensated.

[0026] Working principle: The air outside the server rack 1 can be transported to the inside of the server rack 1 by the inlet fan 8, and the air temperature outside the server rack 1 is lower than the temperature of the server rack 1 to perform air cooling heat exchange, so that the heat generated inside the server rack 1 is taken away by the flowing air; The exhaust fan 6 can further increase the flow speed of the airflow inside the server base frame 1, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect inside the server base frame 1. The flowing gas entering the server base frame 1 can flow along the ventilation duct formed between the two trapezoidal guide plates 12. Since the middle distance between the two trapezoidal guide plates 12 is closer than the end, the airflow speed can be accelerated when the airflow enters the ventilation duct. At the same time, the corrugated heat exchange plate 14 can exchange heat with the flowing gas and transfer the heat to the flowing gas for heat dissipation. At the same time, when the gas flows along the corrugated heat exchanger fins 14, the time the flowing gas spends in the ventilation duct can be further increased, further compensating for the problem of reduced heat exchange efficiency caused by reduced contact time with the corrugated heat exchanger fins 14 due to the high air flow velocity.
