Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of server cabinets, and in particular to a one-way valve detection method, electronic equipment, and storage medium of a server cabinet. Background Art

[0002] In server cabinets, reverse flow within closed inlet lines is primarily caused by the siphon effect. To address this issue, a check valve is often added to the system. A check valve allows fluid flow in one direction while closing in the opposite direction, thus preventing reverse flow. However, the spring in the check valve can creep over time, weakening its elastic force. This can cause the check valve to reverse when the server cabinet is stationary, leading to reverse flow and potentially causing the cabinet to collapse.

[0003] The traditional one-way valve inspection method is to disassemble the one-way valve and remove the spring for testing to evaluate whether its performance has declined. However, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and may cause additional damage to the valve in actual operation, resulting in low one-way valve inspection efficiency for server cabinets in related technologies.

Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0024] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a one-way valve detection method for a server cabinet is provided. It should be noted that the steps shown in the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in an order different from that shown here.

[0025] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for detecting a one-way valve of a server cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0026] Step S102 , in response to detecting a shutdown instruction of the server cabinet, controlling the solenoid valve of the server cabinet to open to discharge the fluid in the corresponding pipeline of the server cabinet, and obtaining a discharge result, wherein the discharge result is used to indicate whether the fluid is drained.

[0027] The aforementioned server cabinet can refer to a framework containing servers, switches, routers, and other equipment. Furthermore, the server cabinet can also contain power supply equipment consisting of one or more battery clusters. The battery clusters in the server cabinet can be used as an emergency power source for the equipment within the server cabinet, providing continuous power in the event of a main power failure or outage, ensuring that critical data and operations are not damaged by power outages. The battery clusters in the server cabinet can also serve as energy storage and regulation units for balancing grid loads, providing peak power support, or participating in demand response programs. In other words, the aforementioned server cabinet types may include, but are not limited to, server cabinets and battery clusters. The specific server cabinet type must be determined based on the actual test object and is not limited here.

[0028] The aforementioned shutdown command may refer to a command used to instruct a server cabinet to cease its current operating state and enter a quiescent or maintenance mode. The method of issuing a shutdown command may include, but is not limited to, being issued by the control system of the server cabinet or battery cluster or by an external operator. The specific issuance method is determined based on actual needs and system design and is not limited here. The triggering reasons for the shutdown command may include, but are not limited to, the need for scheduled system maintenance, server cabinet overheating, power supply interruption, or manual operator control. The specific triggering reasons are set based on actual needs and are not limited here. The purpose of the shutdown command may include, but is not limited to, ensuring that the server cabinet stops operating safely and orderly, preventing equipment damage or safety risks caused by unexpected operation, etc. The aforementioned solenoid valve may refer to a valve that uses electromagnetic force to control the flow of fluid. The functions of the solenoid valve may include, but are not limited to, precisely controlling the flow of fluid and controlling the amount of fluid in the corresponding pipeline of the server cabinet.

[0029] The above-mentioned fluid may refer to the substance flowing in the server cabinet management system. The type of fluid may include but is not limited to gas, and liquids such as coolant. The specific fluid type needs to be determined according to the actual system requirements and is not limited here. The function of the fluid may include but is not limited to making the server cabinet operate within a suitable temperature range to improve the efficiency of the server cabinet and extend the life of the server cabinet.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, when a server cabinet receives a shutdown command, a solenoid valve is activated to drain the coolant or other fluid from the corresponding pipes in the server cabinet and obtain a drainage result. In this process, the shutdown command controls the on / off state of the solenoid valve to prevent corrosion or pressure damage to system components caused by the fluid during the server cabinet's idle or maintenance period. The drainage result also confirms whether the fluid has been completely drained from the pipes, thereby determining whether the server cabinet can enter idle or maintenance mode. If the drainage result indicates that the pipes are not empty, further diagnosis and treatment are required to ensure the safety and functional integrity of the server cabinet.

[0031] Step S104 : in response to the discharge result being that the fluid is drained, controlling the solenoid valve to close so that the server cabinet enters a static state, wherein the static state is used to indicate that the server cabinet stops working.

[0032] The above control methods may include but are not limited to the following:

[0033] The first method is microprocessor control. The central controller or microprocessor receives the signal from the sensor, confirms that the fluid has been drained, and sends a power-off signal to the coil of the solenoid valve, causing the valve core to close under the action of the spring force.

[0034] The second way is to use a programmable logic controller to control the closing or opening of the solenoid valve in response to the fluid emptying result through a preset control logic.

[0035] The third method is relay control. When the system detects a signal that the fluid is empty, the power supply to the solenoid valve is disconnected through the relay, thereby closing the solenoid valve.

[0036] The above control methods are only examples. The specific control methods need to be determined according to system design and actual needs and are not limited here.

[0037] The aforementioned quiescent state may refer to an operating mode in which the server cabinet is no longer performing any charging, discharging, or any other operations. The quiescent state may be used for, but is not limited to, safe shutdown, inspection and maintenance, extending service life, and energy conservation.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, in response to the confirmation result of detecting the fluid being drained, the control system of the server cabinet will automatically control the solenoid valve to close, and the server cabinet will stop all work and operating activities and enter a static state. The above process ensures that all safety hazards such as pressure accumulation, leakage, or corrosion caused by the presence of fluid are eliminated during the period when the server cabinet is not in operation, thereby significantly improving the overall safety of the server cabinet. Secondly, regularly putting the server cabinet into a static state can provide operation and maintenance personnel with a safe and stable environment to carry out necessary inspections and maintenance. This not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also avoids additional damage and time waste caused by disassembling valves.

[0039] Step S106 , detecting the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid of the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet during a static state, wherein the one-way valve is installed at a preset position of the pipeline.

[0040] The above-mentioned one-way valve may refer to a control element that only allows fluid or gas to flow in a single direction. The types of one-way valves may include but are not limited to spring-loaded one-way valves, ball one-way valves, butterfly one-way valves, etc. The specific one-way valve type needs to be determined according to the usage scenario and fluid type, and is not limited here. The function of the one-way valve may include but is not limited to preventing the fluid from flowing back in the non-working state, protecting the server cabinet from unnecessary pressure or temperature changes, etc.

[0041] The aforementioned reverse osmosis fluid may refer to a fluid that should be blocked by the one-way valve. The reverse osmosis fluid may have a negative impact on the health of the server cabinet, such as causing overheating, corrosion, or pressure damage to the server cabinet.

[0042] The above-mentioned preset position may refer to a specific installation point selected for the one-way valve when the system is designed. The preset position may include but is not limited to any key position on the fluid path. The specific preset position needs to be determined based on the system operation requirements and fluid characteristics, and is not limited here. The establishment of the preset position helps to optimize the system design and ensure that the one-way valve can effectively perform its function. It also facilitates subsequent inspection and maintenance work.

[0043] The above detection methods may include but are not limited to the following:

[0044] The first method is flow meter detection, which uses a flow meter installed on the pipeline to detect the volume of fluid flowing through the one-way valve during a static state to obtain the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid.

[0045] The second method is liquid level sensor detection. By installing a liquid level sensor in the liquid storage tank, the liquid level changes of the server cabinet before and after entering the static state are recorded to obtain the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid.

[0046] The above detection methods are only examples. The specific detection method needs to be determined according to the system design and fluid type and is not limited here.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, the total volume of reverse osmosis fluid in the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet during the static state is detected. This process is mainly achieved by installing a one-way valve at a preset position in the pipeline, ensuring that the coolant can enter the server cabinet smoothly when it is running and will not flow backwards in the static state, thereby effectively preventing the coolant backflow caused by spring creep. At the same time, by accurately measuring the total volume of reverse osmosis coolant, the system can timely and accurately evaluate the health status of the one-way valve spring and identify whether the degree of creep has reached a level that affects the safety of the server cabinet.

[0048] Step S108 : testing the one-way valve based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid to obtain a test result, wherein the test result is used to indicate whether the one-way valve needs to be repaired.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid during the static period is measured, and then the one-way valve is tested based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid to obtain a test result, thereby determining whether the one-way valve needs to be repaired. This testing process, which determines whether the one-way valve needs to be repaired based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid, can non-destructively and efficiently evaluate the one-way valve's sealing performance and the creep degree of the spring. This enables the system to immediately identify possible performance issues with the one-way valve and take appropriate measures, effectively improving the system's operating efficiency.

[0050] In an embodiment of the present invention, first, in response to detecting a shutdown command of a server cabinet, the solenoid valve of the server cabinet is controlled to open to discharge the fluid in the corresponding pipeline of the server cabinet and obtain a discharge result; then, in response to the discharge result being that the fluid is empty, the solenoid valve is controlled to close so that the server cabinet enters a static state; then, the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid of the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet during the static state is detected; finally, the one-way valve is tested based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid to obtain a test result. It is easy to notice that the present application avoids the interference of the original fluid that may exist in the detection process by first discharging the fluid in the corresponding pipeline of the server cabinet and then testing the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid of the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet, thereby ensuring that the detected total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid can accurately reflect the creep state of the one-way valve, thereby achieving the technical effect of accurately detecting the one-way valve in the server cabinet, and thus solving the technical problem of low detection efficiency of the one-way valve of the server cabinet in the related art.

[0051] Optionally, the one-way valve is tested based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid to obtain a test result, including: determining a creep level of the one-way valve based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid and a preset volume threshold, wherein the creep level is used to indicate the severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve; in response to the creep level being a preset creep level, determining that the test result is that the one-way valve needs to be repaired; in response to the creep level not being the preset creep level, determining that the test result is that the one-way valve does not need to be repaired.

[0052] The above-mentioned preset volume threshold may refer to one or more reverse osmosis flow volume thresholds pre-set during the design phase of the server cabinet system, which is used to measure whether the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid has reached a level that requires attention. The types of preset volume thresholds may include but are not limited to the first volume threshold and the second volume threshold, etc. The specific preset volume threshold needs to be determined based on the performance of the one-way valve and the actual situation, and is not limited here. The role of the preset volume threshold may include but is not limited to serving as a benchmark for judging whether the one-way valve has performance degradation and creep phenomena.

[0053] The aforementioned preset creep level may refer to a pre-set level for classifying and assessing the creep degree of a check valve. The types of preset creep levels may include, but are not limited to, a first creep level and a second creep level. The specific preset creep level is determined based on the performance of the check valve and is not limited here. The uses of the preset creep level include, but are not limited to, quantitatively assessing the health status of the check valve and helping operators adopt appropriate maintenance strategies.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the one-way valve is first tested based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid and a preset volume threshold to determine the creep level of the one-way valve; the creep level of the one-way valve is then compared with the preset creep level to determine whether the one-way valve needs to be repaired. The above process, by setting the preset volume threshold and the preset creep level, enables the system to detect potential problems with the one-way valve early, ensuring the safety of system operation, and can also take different response measures based on the severity of the creep level, effectively balancing maintenance costs and system performance.

[0055] Optionally, the preset volume threshold includes a first volume threshold and a second volume threshold, the preset creep level includes a first creep level and a second creep level, and the creep level of the one-way valve is determined based on the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid and the preset volume threshold, wherein the creep level is used to indicate the severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve, including: in response to the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid being greater than the first volume threshold, determining the creep level to be the first creep level; in response to the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid being less than or equal to the first volume threshold and greater than the second volume threshold, determining the creep level to be the second creep level, wherein the severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve indicated by the second creep level is less than the severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve indicated by the first creep level; in response to the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid being less than or equal to the second volume threshold, determining the creep level to be non-preset creep level, wherein the second volume threshold is less than the first volume threshold.

[0056] The first volume threshold mentioned above may refer to a preset higher reverse osmosis fluid volume threshold, which represents that the reverse osmosis phenomenon of the one-way valve in a static state has reached a relatively obvious level, and is used to indicate that the spring creep degree of the one-way valve is serious.

[0057] The second volume threshold may refer to a preset lower reverse osmosis fluid volume threshold, indicating that the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid has reached a level that requires attention but has not yet reached a serious level, and is used to indicate that attention should be paid to the degree of spring creep of the current one-way valve.

[0058] The above-mentioned first creep level can refer to the level of creep degree of the one-way valve determined based on the comparison result of the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid and the first volume threshold. The first creep level can be used to indicate that the performance of the valve has seriously degraded and the spring may have significantly creeped. The valve needs to be repaired or replaced immediately to prevent the backflow of coolant from damaging the server cabinet.

[0059] The above-mentioned second creep level may refer to the level of creep of the one-way valve determined based on the comparison results of the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid with the first volume threshold and the second volume threshold. The severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve indicated by the second creep level is less than the severity of the performance degradation of the one-way valve indicated by the first creep level. The second creep level may be used to indicate that the performance of the one-way valve has degraded to a certain extent, but has not yet reached the severity of the first creep level, and operation and maintenance personnel need to pay attention to the performance of this one-way valve.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, by pre-setting preset volume thresholds including a first volume threshold and a second volume threshold, and preset creep levels including a first creep level and a second creep level, the server cabinet system can determine that the creep level of the one-way valve is the first creep level when the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid exceeds the first volume threshold, which indicates that the performance of the valve has been significantly degraded and requires emergency maintenance or replacement to avoid safety hazards that may be caused by the backflow of coolant; when the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid is between the first volume threshold and the second volume threshold, the system determines that the creep level is the second creep level, which indicates that the valve performance has been slightly degraded but has not yet reached an emergency state, and a strategy of regular monitoring and timely maintenance can be adopted, which not only ensures system safety but also avoids cost waste caused by excessive maintenance; and when the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid is lower than the second volume threshold, the system determines that the creep level does not belong to the preset creep level, which means that the one-way valve is working normally and no special intervention is required. The above detection mechanism can not only identify the performance status of the one-way valve in a timely and accurate manner, but also take graded responses based on the degree of degradation, thereby optimizing the allocation of maintenance resources. At the same time, it avoids the blind disassembly and inspection of the one-way valve in traditional maintenance methods, reduces unnecessary system interruptions and potential damage introduced by the inspection process, and significantly improves the operational reliability and maintenance efficiency of the server cabinet system.

[0061] Optionally, the method also includes: in response to the detection result that the one-way valve needs to be inspected and the creep level is the first creep level, controlling the pump group of the server cabinet to pump liquid from the pipeline based on a preset cycle, and outputting a first early warning signal, wherein the first early warning signal is used to prompt the one-way valve to be inspected; in response to the detection result that the one-way valve needs to be inspected and the creep level is the second creep level, outputting a second early warning signal, and the warning intensity of the second early warning signal is less than the warning intensity of the first early warning signal.

[0062] The above-mentioned preset period may refer to a time interval pre-set in the system. The duration of the preset period may include but is not limited to one hour, half a day, one day, two days, etc. The specific preset period needs to be determined based on the performance of the one-way valve and the working environment of the server cabinet. There is no limitation here. The preset period can be used for regular specific maintenance or detection activities, etc.

[0063] The pump group mentioned above may refer to an important component in the server cabinet system, which is responsible for promoting the circulation of fluid in the pipeline to keep the temperature of the server cabinet within a safe range.

[0064] The above-mentioned pumping may refer to extracting a certain amount of fluid from the pipeline under the control of the pump group to reduce the amount of fluid reverse osmosis caused by the creep of the one-way valve.

[0065] The above-mentioned first warning signal may refer to a reminder signal sent by the system to maintenance personnel when the system detects that the creep level of the one-way valve is the first creep level. The warning intensity of the first warning signal is high, which means that the performance of the one-way valve is seriously degraded and needs to be repaired or replaced immediately to avoid system failure.

[0066] The above-mentioned second warning signal may refer to a reminder signal sent by the system to the maintenance personnel when the system detects that the creep level of the one-way valve is the second creep level. The warning intensity of the second warning signal is less than the warning intensity of the first warning signal, indicating that although the valve performance has begun to degrade, it has not yet reached an emergency state, reminding the maintenance personnel to arrange inspection and possible adjustment of the one-way valve in the subsequent maintenance plan.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, different warning signals are set for different creep levels—specifically, a first warning signal for the first creep level and a second warning signal for the second creep level. When testing the one-way valve, the corresponding warning signal is triggered based on the detected creep level. This avoids overreacting to issues that do not require immediate attention while ensuring that the maintenance team still notices early signs of valve degradation, providing guidance for future inspections and maintenance. This hierarchical response mechanism not only enables the system to address urgent issues in a timely manner but also allows for preemptive planning of potential maintenance needs, reducing the risk of unplanned downtime, thereby improving the operational efficiency and safety of server cabinets and reducing maintenance costs.

[0068] Optionally, detecting the total volume of reverse osmosis fluid in the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet during a static state includes: in response to the opening time of the solenoid valve reaching a first preset time, detecting a first liquid level position of a liquid storage tank corresponding to the pipeline, wherein the liquid storage tank is used to represent the storage of the fluid entering the pipeline; in response to the opening time of the solenoid valve reaching a second preset time, detecting a second liquid level position of the liquid storage tank; and determining the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid based on the first liquid level position and the second liquid level position.

[0069] The above-mentioned first preset time length may refer to the preset duration of the solenoid valve opening. The first preset time length may be set to ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes, etc. The specific first preset time length shall be determined according to the volume of fluid in the liquid storage tank and the performance of the solenoid valve, and is not limited here. The first preset time length may be used to empty the liquid inlet main pipe to ensure that, during the subsequent static stage, any change in the liquid level in the liquid storage tank is caused by reverse osmosis of the one-way valve, rather than the influence of the residual fluid in the pipeline.

[0070] The first liquid level position mentioned above may refer to the height of the fluid in the liquid storage tank at the end of the first preset time period. This moment is usually the starting point of the system entering a static state after the liquid inlet main is emptied. The first liquid level position at this time is regarded as the reference point for reverse osmosis detection.

[0071] The aforementioned second preset time duration may refer to the time it takes for the system to reopen the solenoid valve to measure the change in the liquid level in the liquid storage tank after a period of inactivity. The second preset time duration may include, but is not limited to, ten minutes, twenty minutes, or thirty minutes. The specific second preset time duration is determined based on factors such as the response speed of the solenoid valve and the accuracy of the measurement system, and is not limited here. The second preset time duration can be used to detect volume changes in reverse osmosis fluid.

[0072] The second liquid level position mentioned above may refer to the liquid level height of the fluid in the liquid storage tank at the end of the second preset time period, which is used for comparison with the first liquid level position to calculate the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid.

[0073] In an optional embodiment, by reasonably setting the first preset time, the first liquid level position, the second preset time, and the second liquid level position, the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid can be determined, and then the creep degree of the one-way valve can be determined. Among them, the combination of the first preset time and the first liquid level position ensures that the fluid in the pipeline is completely emptied before the system starts to detect the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid, avoiding the influence of residual fluid in the system on the detection results; the second preset time and the measurement of the second liquid level position provide important data for evaluating the reverse osmosis volume of the one-way valve during the static period. By comparing the first liquid level position and the second liquid level position, the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid can be calculated, and then the creep degree of the one-way valve can be evaluated. The above detection method does not require the disassembly of the valve, which not only reduces the maintenance workload, but also avoids the additional risks caused by disassembly, and improves the detection efficiency of the server cabinet system.

[0074] Optionally, detecting the total volume of reverse osmosis fluid of the one-way valve corresponding to the server cabinet during the static state includes: determining the total volume of reverse osmosis fluid based on a first flow meter reading and a second flow meter reading, wherein the first flow meter reading is used to represent the flow meter reading obtained at the starting time point of the static state, and the second flow meter reading is used to represent the flow meter reading obtained at a preset time point of the static state, and the flow meter is set between the server cabinet and the pipeline.

[0075] In an optional embodiment, a flow meter is installed between the server cabinet and the pipeline, and the total volume of reverse osmosis fluid in the one-way valve is directly determined by using the difference between the first flow meter reading at the beginning of the static state and the second flow meter reading at the end. The above process can accurately capture the reverse flow of coolant caused by the performance degradation of the one-way valve during the static period, and quantitative data on its creep degree can be obtained without disassembling the valve, greatly improving maintenance efficiency and system reliability.

[0076] Optionally, after controlling the solenoid valve of the server cabinet to be in an open state, the method further includes: in response to the opening time of the solenoid valve reaching a first preset time, determining that the discharge result is fluid emptying.

[0077] In an optional embodiment, by setting a first preset time length as a reference standard for emptying the pipeline, it is ensured that there is no undischarged fluid in the pipeline when performing subsequent reverse osmosis detection, thereby avoiding the influence of residual fluid on the detection results, thereby improving the accuracy of evaluating the creep degree of the one-way valve.

[0079] pass Figure 2 The process of detecting the one-way valve of the one-way valve detection device of the server cabinet is as follows: when responding to the shutdown command of the server cabinet, the solenoid valve 216 is controlled to open by the controller 214, and the fluid in the corresponding pipeline of the server cabinet is discharged by the pump group 218; then based on the discharge result that the fluid is empty, the solenoid valve is controlled to close by the controller 214, so that the server cabinet enters a static state, and the liquid level position in the liquid storage tank 220 at this time is recorded by the flow meter 212, and the liquid level position is recorded again after a period of time; then the total volume of the reverse osmosis fluid is determined according to the change between the two recorded liquid level positions, and then the creep degree of the one-way valve is determined to complete the state detection of the one-way valve. The above-mentioned one-way valve state detection can determine the specific controlled one-way valve and server cabinet according to the one-way valve to be detected.
