[0019] Combined with attachment Figures 1-8 The power distribution cabinet structure for server storage includes a cabinet body 11, a cover body 30 is fixed on the top of the cabinet body 11, a storage chamber 12 is defined in the cabinet body 11, a blowing module 28 is installed at the bottom of the cover body 30, and ventilation holes 29 are defined around the cover body 30. When the blowing module 28 is activated, it draws air from the outside through the ventilation holes 29, so that air circulates in the storage chamber 12, thereby cooling the servers stored in the storage chamber 12. A pair of frames 13 are fixedly installed in the storage chamber 12, and a plurality of placement racks 14 are fixedly mounted between the frames 13. The placement racks 14 are used to place servers. A water cooling system is installed in the storage chamber 12, and the water cooling system includes a water cooling pipe group 15 fixedly arranged on each of the placement racks 14. The water cooling pipe groups 15 are connected end to end through pipes. The water cooling pipe group 15 at the top is fixedly connected to a water pump 42 through a pipe, and the water cooling pipe group 15 at the bottom is connected to a heat exchanger 40 through a pipe. A water tank 41 is provided between the heat exchanger 40 and the water pump 42. The water tank 41 is fixedly connected to the heat exchanger 40 through a pipe, and the water pump 42 is also connected to the water tank 41 through a pipe. After the water pump 42 is started, a water cooling cycle can be achieved in the water cooling system formed by the water pump 42, the water tank 41, the heat exchanger 40, the water cooling pipe group 15 and the plurality of pipes. Heat conducting components 50 are provided on both sides of the water cooling pipe group 15. The server is mounted between the two heat conducting components 50. The cooling water circulation in the water cooling pipe group 15 can effectively cool the server. The heat conducting assembly 50 includes a first heat conducting block 24, a ventilation chamber 39 with a rear opening defined in the first heat conducting block 24, the ventilation chamber 39 also being open toward the water cooling tube group 15, a second heat conducting block 26 slidably mounted in the ventilation chamber 39 and extending out of the ventilation chamber 39, the second heat conducting block 26 and the first heat conducting block 24 both being configured to contact and conduct heat with the server, thereby lowering the server's temperature, and a temperature detector 31 fixedly mounted on one of the first heat conducting blocks 24, the temperature detector 31 being configured to detect the real-time temperature of the server; A power assembly for driving the two second heat-conducting blocks 26 to move closer to or away from each other is provided between the two heat-conducting assemblies 50. The power assembly includes an electric telescopic cylinder 37 fixed in the storage chamber 12. The electric telescopic cylinder 37 controls a telescopic rod 36. One end of the telescopic rod 36 is fixed to a connecting seat 35. One end of a connecting rod 34 is symmetrically rotated on the connecting seat 35. A pin 33 is fixed to the other end of the connecting rod 34. A collar 32 is fixed to the side of the second heat-conducting block 26 close to the connecting seat 35. The pin 33 passes through the collar 32. Both the pin 33 and the collar 32 are cylindrical, so that the pin 33 can rotate relative to the collar 32, and the collar 32 also allows the collar 32 to rotate. The relative pin 33 can be raised and lowered. When the temperature detector 31 detects that the temperature of the server is too high, the electric telescopic cylinder 37 controls the telescopic rod 36 to contract, pulling the connecting seat 35 to move backward, so that the connecting seat 35 drives the connecting rod 34 to rotate, and the connecting rod 34 pulls the two No. 2 heat-conducting blocks 26 closer, so that the two No. 2 heat-conducting blocks 26 move to the upper side of the water-cooling pipe group 15, so that the No. 2 heat-conducting block 26 can be quickly cooled. After a certain period of time, the telescopic rod 36 extends and resets, driving the No. 2 heat-conducting block 26 to be reinserted into the ventilation chamber 39. Through heat conduction between the No. 2 heat-conducting block 26 and the No. 1 heat-conducting block 24, the server can be quickly absorbed heat again.

[0020] It should be noted that a control terminal is installed in the storage chamber 12 , and the control terminal is used to receive detection information from the temperature detector 31 to control the operation of each of the electric telescopic cylinders 37 .

[0021] In order to further optimize the heat dissipation effect, a plurality of air outlets 25 connected to the ventilation chamber 39 are opened on the top of the No. 1 heat conductive block 24, and the air outlets 25 are blocked by the No. 2 heat conductive block 26. An air guide assembly 60 is provided on the rear side of each of the water-cooling pipe groups 15. The air guide assembly 60 includes two air guide plates 19 and a driving assembly for driving the air guide plates 19 to rotate. When the two No. 2 heat conductive blocks 26 approach each other, the air outlets 25 are no longer blocked, and the air guide plates 19 are driven by the driving assembly to rotate to the rear opening toward the ventilation chamber 39. The wind generated by the blowing module 28 is introduced into the ventilation chamber 39 through the air guide plates 19 and finally sprayed to the bottom of the server from each of the air outlets 25, thereby more efficiently cooling the server.

[0022] In particular, in order to make the heat-conducting assembly 50 more suitable for various types of servers, at least one guide head 38 is fixed at the bottom of the No. 1 heat-conducting block 24, and the guide head 38 is inserted into the guide seat 22. A spring 23 is installed between the guide seat 22 and the No. 1 heat-conducting block 24. When the server is mounted on the heat-conducting assembly 50, the deformation of the spring 23 enables the No. 1 heat-conducting block 24 to fully fit with the bottom surface of the server.

[0023] The driving assembly includes a rack 21 fixed on the connecting seat 35, the rack 21 is engaged with the gear 20, the gear 20 is fixed on the shaft 18, and two wind guide plates 19 are symmetrically fixed on the shaft 18. The wind guide plates 19 are initially vertically upward and do not affect the movement of the blowing module 28 to blow air. When air guidance is needed, the telescopic rod 36 is controlled to retract by the control terminal, and the connecting seat 35 moves with the telescopic rod 36, driving the rack 21 to move, and the rack 21 drives the gear 20 to rotate, so that the shaft 18 rotates, and the wind guide plates 19 rotate with the shaft 18 to the rear opening position facing the ventilation chamber 39, thereby guiding the air blown by the blowing module 28 into the ventilation chamber 39.

[0024] It should be noted that both the No. 1 heat-conducting block 24 and the No. 2 heat-conducting block 26 are made of materials with relatively good thermal conductivity. For cost considerations, copper is the best choice.

[0025] A plurality of cable ducts 44 are fixed to the rear side of each of the placement racks 14 for restraining electrical wires, network cables and data cables.

[0026] Directions: During normal use, the servers are placed on the respective racks 14, which are supported by the two heat-conducting components 50 on the racks 14. The blowing module 28 is kept started to enhance the air circulation in the storage chamber 12 and cool the servers stored in the storage chamber 12. The water pump 42 is kept started so that the coolant in the water cooling system can circulate continuously. The coolant flowing in the water cooling pipe group 15 can take away some of the heat from the servers, thereby also playing a role in cooling the servers. Each of the temperature detectors 31 monitors the bottom temperature of the server in real time and feeds back to the control terminal. Once the control terminal receives that the temperature of a server is higher than the set temperature, it controls the corresponding electric telescopic cylinder 37 to start, and the electric telescopic cylinder 37 retracts the telescopic rod 36, pulls the connecting seat 35 to move backward, so that the connecting seat 35 drives the connecting rod 34 to rotate, and the connecting rod 34 pulls the two second heat-conducting blocks 26 closer, so that the two second heat-conducting blocks 26 move to the upper side of the water-cooling pipe group 15, so that the second heat-conducting blocks 26 can quickly cool down. After a certain period of time, the telescopic rod 36 extends and resets, driving the second heat-conducting block 26 to be reinserted into the ventilation chamber 39. Through heat conduction between the second heat-conducting block 26 and the first heat-conducting block 24, the server can be quickly absorbed heat again. At the same time, the connecting seat 35 moves with the telescopic rod 36, driving the rack 21 to move, and the rack 21 drives the gear 20 to rotate, so that the shaft 18 rotates, and the air guide plate 19 rotates with the shaft 18 to the rear opening position facing the ventilation chamber 39, thereby directing the air blown by the blowing module 28 into the ventilation chamber 39 and finally spraying it to the bottom of the server from each of the air outlets 25, thereby more efficiently cooling the server.

[0027] When the temperature detector 31 detects that the server is at a normal temperature, the control terminal controls the electric telescopic cylinder 37 to extend and reset the telescopic rod 36, drive the second heat conductive block 26 to be reinserted into the first heat conductive block 24, and control the air guide plate 19 to flip to its original position.

[0028] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit of the present invention are intended to be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
