[0041] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0042] An embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation and air flow guiding device, which is arranged in a server chassis and guides the air blown by a heat dissipation fan to the hard disk to dissipate heat from the hard disk.

[0043] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a heat dissipation and flow guiding device, comprising:

[0044] The air guide cover 1 includes a first mounting plate 11 and a second mounting plate 12 arranged opposite to each other, and an installation space is formed between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. The installation space is open on both sides along the first direction, and the installation space is respectively arranged corresponding to the cooling fan and the hard disk on both sides along the first direction. The installation space is open on both sides along the second direction and is used to be fixed to the server chassis. The second direction is arranged perpendicular to the first direction.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation and air flow guiding device further includes a channel adjustment assembly 2, which includes a first adjustment mechanism 21 and two groups of air collecting structures arranged at intervals. The two groups of air collecting structures are movably arranged between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. That is, the two groups of air collecting structures are arranged in the mounting space and can move in the second direction within the mounting space. The two groups of air collecting structures form an air guide channel between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12, and the air guide channel is arranged along the first direction. The first adjustment mechanism 21 includes a first adjustment rod 211 and two drive plates 212 mounted on the first adjustment rod 211. The axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 is perpendicular to the first direction. That is, the first adjustment rod 211 is arranged in the second direction. The two drive plates 212 are respectively connected to the two groups of air collecting structures, and the two drive plates 212 can move linearly in opposite directions along the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211. That is, the two drive plates 212 move closer to or farther away from each other, thereby driving the two air collecting structures to move closer to or farther away from each other in opposite directions, thereby adjusting the width of the air guide channel.

[0046] Exemplarily, the air collecting structure is sealed against the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 to prevent air from flowing out of the gaps between the air collecting structure and the first mounting plate 11, and the gaps between the air collecting structure and the second mounting plate 12. One end of the air guide channel is the air inlet side, and the other end is the air outlet side. The air inlet side is arranged opposite the cooling fan, and the air outlet side is arranged opposite the hard disk. Air from the cooling fan enters the air guide channel through the air inlet side and flows to the hard disk through the air outlet side.

[0047] Since the first adjustment rod 211 can drive the two drive plates 212 to move linearly in opposite directions, that is, closer to or farther away from each other, when it moves, it can drive the two air collecting structures closer to or farther away from each other to adjust the width of the air guide channel formed between the two air collecting structures, so that the width of the air inlet and air outlet sides of the air guide channel can be adjusted according to server chassis of different specifications. When used in conjunction with server chassis of different specifications, it can produce a good air guide effect, and can effectively guide the wind flow, dissipate heat for the hard disk in a timely and effective manner, and avoid the problem of hard disk failure caused by high temperature. The heat dissipation guide device is suitable for server chassis of different specifications, reducing the trouble and cost problems caused by the need to customize different heat dissipation guide devices due to differences in server chassis specifications. It is simple to operate and improves the versatility and adaptability of the heat dissipation guide device.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present application, the width of the air guide channel gradually increases as it moves away from the first adjustment rod 211. Specifically, the air guide channel is located on one or both sides of the first adjustment rod 211. When the air guide channel is located on one side of the first adjustment rod 211, the end of the air guide channel away from the first adjustment rod 211 is the air inlet side, and the width of the air guide channel is greatest on the air inlet side. Along the airflow direction, the width of the air guide channel gradually decreases. When the air guide channel is located on both sides of the first adjustment rod 211, one end of the air guide channel is the air inlet side, and the other end is the air outlet side. Along the airflow direction, the width of the air guide channel first gradually decreases and then gradually increases. Setting the width of the air inlet side of the air guide channel to a larger width can collect airflow over a wider range, so that as much air as possible from the cooling fan enters the air guide channel through the air inlet side, thereby avoiding air volume waste and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the hard disk.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present application, the air collecting structure includes an air collecting plate 22. The angle between the air collecting plate 22 and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 is acute. One end of the air collecting plate 22 is connected to the driving plate 212. An air guide channel is formed between the driving plate 212, the air collecting plate 22, the first mounting plate 11, and the second mounting plate 12. The number of air collecting plates 22 is one or two. When there is only one air collecting plate 22, the air collecting plate 22 is disposed on one side of the first adjustment rod 211. The two air collecting plates 22 of the two sets of air collecting structures are disposed opposite each other on the same side of the first adjustment rod 211. The angle between the air collecting plates 22 and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 is acute. Therefore, the width of the air guide channel formed between the two air collecting plates 22 of the two sets of air collecting structures increases in a direction away from the first adjustment rod 211.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, each set of air collecting structures includes two air collecting plates 22, which are disposed on either side of a first adjustment rod 211. The angles between the two air collecting plates 22 and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 can be the same or different. When the angles between the two air collecting plates 22 and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 are the same, the two air collecting plates 22 are symmetrically disposed about the first adjustment rod 211. The angles between the two air collecting plates 22 and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 can also be different, such that one air collecting plate 22 is disposed corresponding to the cooling fan, and the other air collecting plate 22 is disposed corresponding to the hard disk. Exemplarily, the two air collecting plates 22 in each air collecting structure are respectively a first air collecting plate and a second air collecting plate. The first air collecting plate and the second air collecting plate are disposed on either side of the first adjustment rod 211. The angle α between the first air collecting plate and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 and the angle β between the second air collecting plate and the axial direction of the first adjustment rod 211 are equal. The ends of the two first air collecting plates away from the first adjustment rod 211 form the air inlet side of the air guide channel, and the ends of the two second air collecting plates away from the first adjustment rod 211 form the air outlet side of the air guide channel. The widths of the air inlet and air outlet sides are equal. When α and β are not equal, the widths of the air inlet and air outlet sides are not equal. Specifically, the widths of the air inlet and air outlet sides are related to the size of the cooling fan and the size of the hard disk. That is, the size of the angle between the first air collecting plate and the first adjustment rod 211 is related to the size of the cooling fan, and the size of the angle between the second air collecting plate and the first adjustment rod 211 is related to the size of the hard disk.

[0051] Combine Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, a first slider 221 is provided on the first side and / or the second side of the wind collecting plate 22, and a first slide groove 112 is provided at the corresponding position of the first mounting plate 11 and / or the second mounting plate 12, and the first slider 221 can be slidably provided in the first slide groove 112.

[0052] Specifically, the first side surface of the wind collecting plate 22 is the side surface on which the wind collecting plate 22 is opposite to the first mounting plate 11, and the second side surface of the wind collecting plate 22 is the side surface on which the wind collecting plate 22 is opposite to the second mounting plate 12. The first slider 221 slides in cooperation with the first slide groove 112. On the one hand, it can realize the sliding cooperation between the wind collecting plate 22 and the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12, and on the other hand, it can guide the moving path of the wind collecting plate 22.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the air collecting plate 22 is rotatably connected to the driving plate 212, the first sliding member is rotatably disposed on the first side surface, and the first sliding groove 112 is disposed parallel to the air collecting plate 22. When the air collecting plate 22 moves with the driving plate 212, the first sliding member 221 slides along the first sliding groove 112, forcing the air collecting plate 22 to rotate about the hinge point with the driving plate 212, thereby changing the inclination angle and width of the air guide channel.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first side surface and / or the second side surface of the air collecting plate 22 protrude outward to form a first pin 223, and the first slider 221 is rotatably mounted on the first pin 223. Both sides of the air collecting plate 22 are slidably connected to the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 through the matching structure of the first slider 221 and the first slide groove 112. The first side surface of the air collecting plate 22 and the first mounting plate 11, as well as the second side surface of the air collecting plate 22 and the second mounting plate 12 are sealed to ensure that there is no gap between the air collecting plate 22 and the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12 during the movement of the air collecting plate 22, thereby preventing air leakage.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, in order to prevent the first slider 221 from falling out of the first slide groove 112, a limit groove is set on the side wall of the first slide groove 112, and a limit block is correspondingly set on the side of the first slider 221. When the first slider 221 is installed in the first slide groove 112, the limit block is correspondingly set in the limit groove and can slide in the limit groove, thereby improving the stability of the installation structure of the wind collecting plate 22 and the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, a flexible seal 23 is connected between the wind collecting plate 22 and the drive plate 212 to achieve a sealed connection between the wind collecting plate 22 and the drive plate 212. Exemplarily, the flexible seal 23 is an arc-shaped plate structure made of a flexible material. One end of the flexible seal 23 is connected to the drive plate 212, and the other end is connected to the wind collecting plate, so that the wind collecting plate 22 can rotate a certain angle to adjust the inclination angle of the wind collecting plate 22. At the same time, the flexible seal 23 seals the gap between the drive plate 212 and the wind collecting plate 22 to prevent air leakage. The flexible seal 23 plays the dual role of a hinge and a baffle.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present application, a leak-proof extrusion column 222 is provided at one end of the air collecting plate 22 away from the first adjustment rod 211. The leak-proof extrusion column 222 is made of an elastic material. Specifically, when in use, the leak-proof extrusion column 222 fits against the inner wall of the server chassis, further ensuring the sealing of the air guide channel.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present application, a first thread segment 2111 and a second thread segment 2112 are provided on the first adjusting rod 211, and the spiral directions of the first thread segment 2111 and the second thread segment 2112 are opposite. The two driving plates 212 are provided with a driving part, and the driving part is provided with a threaded hole, and is respectively connected to the first thread segment 2111 and the second thread segment 2112 through the threaded hole. When the first adjusting rod 211 is rotated, the driving plate 212 moves along the first adjusting rod 211.

[0059] Exemplarily, the driving portion may include a threaded connector and a movable sleeve, wherein the threaded connectors on the two driving portions respectively cooperate with the first threaded segment 2111 and the second threaded segment 2112, and the movable sleeve is rotatably mounted on the threaded connector, and the movable sleeve and the threaded connector can rotate relative to each other in the circumferential direction and are relatively fixed in the axial direction. When the first adjusting rod 211 rotates, the two threaded connectors are driven to cooperate with the first threaded segment 2111 and the second threaded segment 2112 respectively, which will drive the two threaded connectors to rotate around the circumference of the first adjusting rod 211 while moving in the opposite direction along the axial direction of the first adjusting rod 211. The movable sleeve and the threaded connector can rotate relative to each other but cannot move relative to each other in the axial direction. Then, when the threaded connector moves, the movable sleeve is driven to move linearly along the axial direction of the first adjusting rod 211, and the two movable sleeves move linearly in opposite directions to make the two movable sleeves move closer to or farther away from each other.

[0060] By rotating the first adjusting rod 211, the two movable sleeves can be simultaneously driven to move linearly in opposite directions, thereby driving the two sets of wind collecting structures to move linearly in opposite directions to adjust the width of the wind guide channel.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, a first mounting channel extending along the second direction is provided in the first mounting plate 11, and the first adjusting rod 211 can be rotatably inserted in the first mounting channel. The first mounting channel extends from one side surface of the first mounting plate 11 along the second direction to the other side surface, and the first end of the first mounting channel is formed on a side surface of the second mounting plate 12 along the second direction. The second end of the first mounting channel is located inside the first mounting plate 11, and the second end of the first adjusting rod 211 is inserted into the first mounting channel, and the second end of the first adjusting rod 211 is rotatably connected to the second end of the first mounting channel. The first end of the first adjusting rod 211 is located on the outside of the first mounting channel to form a first knob 211a for operating the rotation of the first adjusting rod 211.

[0062] A second chute 111 is provided through the side wall of the first mounting plate 11 facing the second mounting plate 12. The second chute 111 extends in the same direction as the first mounting channel and is interconnected. The driving portion of the driving plate 212 passes through the second chute 111 and is threadedly connected to the first thread segment 2111 and the second thread segment 2112, respectively. There are two second chute 111s, each corresponding to the first thread segment 2111 and the second thread segment 2112. The driving portion of the driving plate 212 is slidably disposed within the second chute 111, driving the air collection structure to move linearly, thereby changing the width of the air guide channel formed by the two air collection structures. The provision of the second chute 111 serves as a guide for the movement path of the driving plate 212, so that the driving plate 212 can only move linearly and cannot rotate. The end of the driving plate 212, away from the driving portion, slides with the second mounting plate 12, thereby limiting the rotation of the driving plate 212.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, a positioning rod 24 is provided on the side of the drive plate 212 facing away from the air guide channel. The positioning rod 24 is arranged axially along the first adjustment rod 211, and an anti-slip positioning portion 241 is provided on the end of the positioning rod 24 away from the drive plate 212. When the first adjustment rod 211 rotates, it drives the drive plate 212 and the air collecting plate 22 to move synchronously, and the positioning rod 24 also moves accordingly. During use, the distance between the two drive plates 212 is adjusted according to the size of the server chassis so that the anti-slip positioning portion 241 on the positioning rod 24 abuts the side wall of the server chassis, allowing the heat dissipation and air flow guide device to be installed within the server chassis.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the air scoop 1 further includes a support member 13, which is supported and connected between the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12, and is provided with a through hole 131 on the support member 13, through which the positioning rod can slide. Exemplarily, there are two support members 13, and the support members 13 are arranged opposite to the side of the drive plate 212 facing away from the air guide channel. Each support member 13 corresponds to two positioning rods, and the support member 13 is provided with two through holes 131, and the two positioning rods 24 pass through the two through holes 131 respectively. The cooperation between the positioning rods and the through holes 131 guides the movement path of the drive plate 212, ensuring the stable operation of the drive plate 212.

[0065] As shown in the figure, in some embodiments of the present application, the heat dissipation and air flow guide device also includes an air guide adjustment component 3, and the air guide adjustment component 3 is at least arranged on the air outlet side of the air guide channel, that is, the air guide adjustment component 3 is arranged on the air outlet side of the air guide channel, or the air guide adjustment component 3 is arranged on the air outlet side and the air inlet side of the air guide channel.

[0066] The air guide adjustment assembly 3 adjusts according to the size of the hard drives. Specifically, it includes a second adjustment mechanism and multiple partition plates 32 connected to the second adjustment mechanism. The multiple partition plates 32 are spaced apart along the width of the air guide channel. The second adjustment mechanism is connected to the multiple partition plates 32 and is used to drive the multiple partition plates 32 to move synchronously, thereby bringing the multiple partition plates 32 together or apart. The space between two adjacent partition plates 32 corresponds to one hard drive. The second adjustment mechanism adjusts the distance between adjacent partition plates 32 at equal intervals, bringing the multiple partition plates 32 together or apart. This can accommodate hard drives of different widths, ensuring that the space between two adjacent partition plates 32 is aligned with a hard drive, thereby improving the air guide effect.

[0067] When in use, the second adjustment mechanism is located between the air outlet of the air guide channel and the partition plate 32 , and the end surface of the partition plate 32 away from the second adjustment mechanism abuts against the joint between two adjacent hard disks.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the second adjustment mechanism includes multiple connecting rods 31, a foldable mechanism and a driving mechanism. The multiple connecting rods 31 are respectively connected to the multiple partition plates 32. A third slider 36 is provided at both ends of the connecting rod 31. A plurality of third slide grooves 113 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the air guide channel on the first mounting plate 11 and the second mounting plate 12. The third slide groove 113 extends along the second direction, and the third slider 36 is slidably arranged in the third slide groove 113; the driving mechanism is connected to at least one third slider 36, driving the third slider 36 to slide in the third slide groove 113; a group of foldable structures is arranged between two adjacent connecting rods 31, and the two ends of the foldable structure are respectively rotatably connected to the two connecting rods 31. The foldable structure can be folded or unfolded along the width direction of the air guide channel to drive the multiple partition plates 32 to gather or disperse with each other.

[0069] Exemplarily, the number of connecting rods 31 is equal to the number of partition plates 32, and they are connected one-to-one. The foldable mechanism is connected to the inner side of the connecting rod 31, and the partition plates 32 are connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 31. The inner side of the connecting rod 31 is the side of the connecting rod 31 facing the air guide channel, and the outer side of the connecting rod 31 is arranged opposite the inner side. The driving mechanism includes a second adjusting rod 35, which is provided with a third threaded segment. A second mounting channel is provided along the second direction on the first mounting plate 11 or the second mounting plate 12. The second mounting channel is connected to a third slide groove 113 located at the outermost edge. The second end of the second adjusting rod 35 is rotatably inserted into the second mounting channel and the third slide groove 113. The first end of the second adjusting rod 35 is located in the second mounting channel, and the second end of the second adjusting rod 35 forms a second knob 351 for operating and rotating the second adjusting rod 35. The third slider 36 is provided with a threaded hole and connected to the third threaded segment through the threaded hole. Rotating the second adjusting rod 35 causes the third slider 36 to move axially along the second adjusting rod 35. The movement of the third slide 113 restricts the rotation of the third slider 36, ensuring that it can only move in a straight line. Consequently, the connecting rods 31 connected to the third slider 36 move linearly with the third slider 36, causing the foldable structure to change shape, pushing adjacent connecting rods 31 and the foldable structure to move, thereby causing multiple connecting rods 31 to converge or disperse. Subchannels are formed between adjacent partitions 32. The convergence or dispersion of multiple connecting rods 31 causes the widths of each subchannel to change synchronously and equidistantly to accommodate different hard drive widths.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present application, the foldable structure includes two rotatably connected connecting rods 33, the two connecting rods 33 are connected in a V shape between two adjacent connecting rods 31, and the ends of the connecting rods 33 are rotatably connected to the connecting rods 31, and the V-shaped openings of the two adjacent groups of foldable structures are set in opposite directions.

[0071] Specifically, a connecting column 34 is formed on the inner side surface of the connecting rod 31, and the end of the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 34. The two connecting rods 33 in each group of foldable structures are rotatably connected, and the connecting rods 33 of multiple groups of foldable structures are connected end to end to form a parallel four-link mechanism 33. When the third slider 36 at the far left moves in the third slide groove 113, the connecting rod 31 corresponding to the third slider 36 will push the connecting rod 33 connected to it to move, and then push the remaining connecting rods 31 to move synchronously and equidistantly, thereby realizing equidistant adjustment between multiple partition plates 32.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present application, the first mounting plate 11 is provided with an air guide plate 14 on at least one side along the first direction, a second air guide plate is provided at the corresponding position of the second mounting plate 12, and a partition plate 32 is arranged between the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate. The partition plate 32 is connected to the corresponding connecting rod 31 by an elastic member 37, so that when the partition plate 32 moves in the second direction, the end faces of the partition plate 32 are respectively fitted with the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate.

[0073] For example, Figure 8 As shown, a mounting space for the connecting rod 31 and the partition plate 32 is formed between the third slider 36 on the first mounting plate 11 and the corresponding third slider 36 on the second mounting plate 12. The connecting rod 31 is connected to two oppositely disposed third sliders 36 at both ends. The partition plate 32 is located on the outside of the connecting rod 31 and includes a first connecting section and a second connecting section. The end surfaces of the first connecting section slideably engage with the two corresponding third sliders 36, while the end surfaces of the second connecting section correspond to the first and second air deflectors. The first connecting section is movably disposed along a first direction between the two corresponding third sliders 36, and the inner side of the first connecting section is connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 31 by an elastic member 37. In some embodiments of the present application, the elastic member 37 is a strong spring. The purpose of this configuration is to ensure that the end surfaces of the second connecting section are aligned with the first and second air deflectors as the partition plate 32 moves with the connecting rod 31.

[0074] When in use, the elastic member 37 is always in a stretched state, generating a continuous rebound force. Under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 37, the partition plate 32 is tightly pressed against the inner wall of the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, forming a seamless seal between the partition plate 32 and the first air guide plate and the second air guide plate, thereby improving the sealing effect between adjacent sub-channels and thereby improving the flow guidance effect.

[0075] The heat dissipation and deflection device of the present invention, by rotating the first knob 211a to adjust the position of the anti-slip positioning portion 241 to squeeze against the inner wall of the server for installation, can adapt to server chassis of varying widths, improving the product's versatility and adaptability, reducing the hassle and cost of customizing different heat dissipation equipment due to varying server specifications. Compared to traditional, complex installation methods, the operation is simpler and faster, saving installation time and labor costs. The channel adjustment assembly 2 can adaptively change the angle and position of the air collecting plate 22 based on the movement of the drive plate 212 and the action of the first slide 112. At the same time, the flexible seal 23 and leak-proof extrusion column 222 ensure the air-guiding seal, better adapting to the complex internal structure and different spatial layouts of the server chassis, effectively guiding airflow and improving heat dissipation efficiency. By rotating the second knob 351, the partition plate 32 can be adjusted to the same distance, conveniently aligning the partition plate 32 with the edge of the hard drive, rationally dividing the hard drive heat dissipation space, allowing each hard drive to have a relatively independent and appropriate sub-channel, preventing heat interference between hard drives and further improving the overall heat dissipation effect of the hard drives.

Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only used to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
