Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to an installation cabinet for a server. Background Art

[0002] In order to achieve larger data exchange and data processing, it is usually necessary to install multiple servers in a server cabinet so that the servers can be centrally managed.

[0003] Multiple servers have different sizes and dimensions, making it difficult to integrate multiple servers into the same server cabinet, which limits server installation. In addition, existing server cabinets often fail to provide adequate heat dissipation for the servers, impacting server performance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present application provides a server installation cabinet to at least solve the problems in the related art such as the limitation of server installation and poor heat dissipation of the server.

[0005] The present application provides a server installation cabinet, comprising:

[0006] A cabinet body, wherein the cabinet body has a receiving cavity;

[0007] a space allocation structure, disposed in the receiving cavity, wherein the space allocation structure is configured to divide the receiving cavity into a plurality of installation spaces for installing servers and having adjustable sizes;

[0008] and a heat dissipation structure, at least part of which is disposed in the receiving cavity, and the heat dissipation structure is used to dissipate heat from the server.

[0009] The heat dissipation structure includes a heat conducting mechanism and a heat exchanging mechanism. The heat conducting mechanism and the heat exchanging mechanism are spaced apart. The heat conducting mechanism is arranged between the server and the heat exchanging mechanism. The outer wall of the server abuts against the heat conducting mechanism.

[0010] Through the present application, since the space allocation structure can divide the storage cavity of the cabinet into multiple installation spaces of adjustable size, the cabinet can take into account the installation of multiple servers, making it easy to install multiple servers in the cabinet, which is beneficial to the later replacement or maintenance of the server. Since the heat dissipation structure can dissipate heat for the server in the cabinet, the performance stability of the server can be maintained. In addition, since the heat dissipation structure includes a heat-conducting structure that can abut against the server, the heat of the server can be more concentrated and quickly transferred to the heat exchange mechanism. The heat exchange mechanism can improve the heat dissipation effect of the server based on its heat exchange capacity, thereby further improving the performance stability of the server. The installation cabinet in the embodiment of the present application integrates the storage function of multiple servers and the heat dissipation function of the server into one, expanding the function of the installation cabinet. The installation cabinet can adapt to the installation of multiple servers and has a wide range of applications. The installation cabinet can improve the performance stability of the server based on the setting of its heat dissipation structure. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] It should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "transverse," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," and the like, indicating positions or relationships, are based on the positions or relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended solely for ease of description and simplification of the present application. They are not intended to indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as limiting the present application. The terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be interpreted broadly, and may include, for example, fixed, removable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; direct or indirect connections through an intermediary; and internal communication between two components. The terms "parallel," "perpendicular," and "equal" encompass the described conditions and conditions similar to the described conditions, provided that the range of the similar conditions is within an acceptable range of deviation, as determined by a person of ordinary skill in the art taking into account the measurement in question and the errors associated with the measurement of the particular quantity (i.e., the limitations of the measurement system). For example, "parallel" includes both absolute parallelism and approximate parallelism, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate parallelism may be, for example, within 5°; "perpendicular" includes both absolute perpendicularity and approximate perpendicularity, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate perpendicularity may also be, for example, within 5°. "Equal" includes both absolute equality and approximate equality, where the acceptable deviation range for approximate equality may be, for example, that the difference between the two is less than or equal to 5% of either. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] A server is a specially designed computer system primarily used to provide services, manage and process requests, and store and share data. A server can provide various services to other computers on a network (often called clients), such as file storage, web hosting, database management, and email transmission. Servers typically have powerful hardware configurations to support high concurrency and large amounts of data processing.

[0032] With the continuous development of information technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and big data, informatization has gradually covered all aspects of society. The development of information technology has led to an exponential growth in the computing power of modern servers.

[0033] To achieve large-scale data exchange and processing, multiple servers are typically installed in a server cabinet. The combined operation of multiple servers can meet the increasing data processing demands driven by the development of modern information technology. Furthermore, installing multiple servers in a server cabinet facilitates centralized management of the servers.

[0034] The varying sizes of servers make it difficult to integrate them into the same server cabinet. This limits server installation and hinders future server replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, server cabinets in the prior art typically only house servers within their internal space, but this makes it difficult to dissipate heat from multiple servers installed within the cabinet, impacting server performance.

[0035] Based on the above status quo and problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a server installation cabinet, which is compatible with the installation of multiple servers and has strong adaptability. The installation cabinet can also dissipate heat for the server to ensure the smooth operation of the server.

[0036] To this end, the installation cabinet in the embodiment of the present application is configured with a space-adjustable function. The cabinet can adjust the size of the installation space according to the different servers, so that each installation space can be adapted to the installation of each server. Furthermore, the cabinet is equipped with a heat dissipation structure that can dissipate heat from each server located in the installation space. This heat dissipation structure can directly contact the servers, concentrating the heat from the servers and quickly transferring it to the heat dissipation structure.

[0037] 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.

[0038] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a server installation cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 A schematic structural diagram of a server installation cabinet from another angle provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a server installation cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0039] In the examples of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The server installation cabinet (hereinafter referred to as “installation cabinet”) includes a cabinet body 100 , a space allocation structure 200 and a heat dissipation structure 300 .

[0040] The cabinet 100 has a receiving cavity 101 , and the space allocation structure 200 , the heat dissipation structure 300 or parts thereof can be disposed in the receiving cavity 101 .

[0041] The cabinet 100 may be sealed to prevent dust, steam, etc. from entering the receiving cavity 101 and affecting the server.

[0042] The specific structure of the cabinet 100 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, the cabinet 100 can be constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped. To simplify the description and facilitate understanding, the following embodiments will be described using the cabinet 100 with a rectangular parallelepiped structure as an example.

[0043] The space allocation structure 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101 . The space allocation structure 200 is configured to divide the receiving cavity 101 into a plurality of installation spaces 102 for installing servers and having adjustable sizes.

[0044] It should be noted that the installation space 102 can be either an open space or a closed space. In the embodiments of this application, the installation space 102 is primarily described as an open space. It is understood that because the space allocation structure 200 can change the size of each installation space 102, multiple servers of different sizes can be installed in the receiving cavity 101, which can improve the compatibility of the cabinet 100 with servers.

[0045] At least a portion of the heat dissipation structure 300 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101 , and the heat dissipation structure 300 is used to dissipate heat for the server.

[0046] The heat dissipation structure 300 includes a heat conducting mechanism 310 and a heat exchanging mechanism 320 . The heat conducting mechanism 310 and the heat exchanging mechanism 320 are spaced apart. The heat conducting mechanism 310 is disposed between the server and the heat exchanging mechanism 320 , and the outer wall of the server abuts against the heat conducting mechanism 310 .

[0047] The server generates heat when working. Since the outer wall of the server abuts against the heat conducting mechanism 310, the heat generated by the server can be transferred to the heat conducting mechanism 310 and finally transferred to the heat exchanging mechanism 320, which can dissipate the heat.

[0048] On the other hand, since the outer wall of the server abuts against the heat conducting mechanism 310 , the heat conducting mechanism 310 can also serve as a limiting structure of the server, enabling the server to be stably placed in the installation space 102 .

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the installation cabinet includes a cabinet body 100, a space allocation structure 200, and a heat dissipation structure 300. The space allocation structure 200 can divide the receiving cavity 101 of the cabinet body 100 into multiple installation spaces 102 of adjustable size, so that the cabinet body 100 can take into account the installation of multiple servers, making it easy to install multiple servers in the cabinet body 100, which is beneficial for the later replacement or maintenance of the servers. The heat dissipation structure 300 can dissipate heat from the servers in the cabinet body 100, thereby maintaining the performance stability of the servers. In addition, because the heat dissipation structure 300 includes a heat conducting mechanism 310 that can abut against the server, the heat of the server can be more concentrated and quickly transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320. The heat exchange mechanism 320 can improve the heat dissipation effect of the server based on its heat exchange capacity, thereby further improving the performance stability of the server. The installation cabinet in the embodiment of the present application integrates the storage function of multiple servers and the heat dissipation function of the servers, expanding the function of the installation cabinet. The installation cabinet can adapt to the installation of multiple servers and has a wide range of applications. The installation cabinet can improve the performance stability of the server based on the setting of its heat dissipation structure 300.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , multiple installation spaces 102 are arranged along the first direction, thereby enabling the structural layout of the space allocation structure 200, the space allocation structure 200 can divide the receiving cavity 101 in the vertical direction, where the vertical direction can be based on Figure 1 The vertical direction can be understood as the Z direction. It can be understood that in other embodiments, the receiving cavity 101 can also be divided in other directions.

[0051] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The space allocation structure 200 includes a track mechanism 210 and a plurality of server mounting seats 220 that can be raised and lowered along the track mechanism 210 . The track mechanism 210 is arranged along a first direction, and the above-mentioned installation space 102 is formed between two adjacent server mounting seats 220 .

[0052] Therefore, the position of the server mounting seat 220 can be adjusted by moving the server mounting seat 220 along the track mechanism 210, so that the size of the installation space 102 between the two server mounting seats 220 can be adjusted.

[0053] The above-mentioned first direction can be understood as the Z direction. The track mechanism 210 here can be arranged according to actual needs. The track mechanism 210 needs to cooperate with the server mounting base 220. For example, the track mechanism 210 can be set in the form of a through groove. For example, the track structure can also be set in the form of a supporting convex rail 211.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The track mechanism 210 includes at least a pair of supporting protruding rails 211 arranged opposite to each other. A card slot 2111 is provided on the inner side of the supporting protruding rails 211 , and the server mounting seat 220 can move along the card slot 2111 .

[0055] It can be understood that in order to improve the movement stability of the server mounting base 220, the support protrusions 211 can be arranged into two pairs, one pair is arranged on an inner side surface of the cabinet 100, and the other pair can be arranged on the other inner side surface of the cabinet 100, and the two inner sides are in a relative relationship.

[0056] Figure 4 A schematic structural diagram of a server mounting base 220 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 This is a structural diagram of a server mounting base 220 provided in an embodiment of the present application without the base body 221 .

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The server mounting seat 220 includes a seat body 221 and a lifting portion 222 connected to the seat body 221 . The seat body 221 has a mounting plane 2211 . The server is mounted on the mounting plane 2211 . The lifting portion 222 can be lifted and lowered along the track mechanism 210 .

[0058] The seat body 221 is a structure in the server mounting seat 220 for supporting the server. Therefore, in order to improve the supporting effect on the server, a mounting plane 2211 is provided on the seat body 221 so that the server can be placed flat on the seat body 221 .

[0059] The lifting portion 222 is a structure in the server mounting base 220 for achieving movement. The lifting portion 222 can cooperate with the above-mentioned track mechanism 210 so that the server mounting base 220 as a whole can move along the track mechanism 210, that is, achieve lifting movement.

[0060] Taking the above-mentioned slot 2111 as an example, the lifting portion 222 can be provided with a ridge 2222 to cooperate with the slot 2111. The ridge 2222 can be restricted in the slot 2111. Figure 4 The lifting portion 222 extends from the side wall of the base body 221, and a limiting plate 2221 is provided at the end of the lifting portion 222. A convex strip 2222 is provided at each end of the limiting plate 2221, so that both sides of the limiting plate 2221 can be limited in the slot 2111, one of the convex strips 2222 is limited in one of the pair of supporting convex rails 211, and the other convex strip 2222 is limited in the other of the pair of supporting convex rails 211.

[0061] In combination with the above description, in order to improve the movement stability of the server mounting base 220 , the server mounting base 220 may include two lifting portions 222 , and the two lifting portions 222 extend in directions away from each other.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The space allocation structure 200 also includes a first fixing mechanism 230, and the server mounting seat 220 includes a second fixing mechanism 223, which is connected to the seat body 221 in a manner that can move relative to the seat body 221. The second fixing mechanism 223 has a first position fixed with the first fixing mechanism 230 and a second position detached from the first fixing mechanism 230.

[0063] The second fixing mechanism 223 can be fixed to the first fixing mechanism 230, thereby fixing the adjusted server mounting base 220 in the corresponding position. In the above embodiment, the second fixing mechanism 223 is connected to the base body 221 in a manner that allows it to move relative to the base body 221, which can simplify the position adjustment of the server mounting base 220 and prevent interference with the server mounting base 220 during the adjustment process.

[0064] Specifically, taking the adjustment of the position of a server mounting base 220 from the first fixed position to the second fixed position as an example, the first fixed position and the second fixed position are both within the adjustment range of the server mounting base 220. When the server mounting base 220 is in the first fixed position, the second fixing mechanism 223 moves outward from the base body 221, and the second fixing mechanism 223 cooperates with the first fixing mechanism 230 to complete the fixation. When the server mounting base 220 needs to be adjusted to the second fixed position, the second fixing mechanism 223 needs to be moved from the first position to the second position. At this time, the second fixing mechanism 223 can be disengaged from the first fixing mechanism 230. Then, the server mounting base 220 can be manipulated to move along the track mechanism 210 to the second fixed position. Then, the second fixing mechanism 223 can be driven to switch from the second position to the first position again. At this time, the server mounting base 220 can be fixed to the first fixing mechanism 230 again, so that the server mounting base 220 is fixed in the second fixed position.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second fixing mechanism 223 includes a driving component 2231 and a second fixing component 2232 connected to the driving component 2231 . The driving component 2231 is used to drive the second fixing component 2232 to move closer to or away from the first fixing mechanism 230 .

[0066] The driving component 2231 can generate power for the second fixing component 2232, so that the second fixing component 2232 can approach or move away from the first fixing mechanism 230. It can be understood that when the second fixing component 2232 is close to the first fixing mechanism 230, the fixation between the first fixing mechanism 230 and the second fixing mechanism 223 can be achieved. When the second fixing component 2232 is away from the first fixing mechanism 230, the first fixing mechanism 230 and the second fixing mechanism 223 can be disengaged.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The driving component 2231 includes a rotatable screw rod 2231a, on which a thread is provided, and the second fixing component 2232 is threadedly connected to the thread.

[0068] Therefore, the second fixing assembly 2232 can be driven to move along the length direction of the screw rod 2231 a by rotating the screw rod 2231 a.

[0069] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The screw 2231a can be a bidirectional screw 2231a, and two sections of threads are set on the screw 2231a. The second fixing components 2232 can be set into two groups, and the two second fixing components 2232 can be respectively threadedly connected to the threads at both ends.

[0070] Thus, the rotation of the screw 2231a can drive the two sets of second fixing components 2232 toward or away from each other, so that both sets of second fixing components 2232 can move toward the first fixing mechanism 230. In addition, the provision of two sets of second fixing components 2232 can provide more fixing points for the server mounting base 220, allowing the server mounting base 220 to be stably fixed to the first fixing mechanism 230.

[0071] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The driving assembly 2231 may further include an adjusting knob 2231b, which is fixedly connected to the screw 2231a. The screw 2231a can be driven to rotate by rotating the adjusting knob 2231b.

[0072] The specific structure of the adjustment knob 2231b is not limited. For example, Figure 5 In the example shown, the adjustment knob 2231b has a triangular structure.

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second fixing assembly 2232 includes a moving assembly 2232 a and a second engaging portion 2232 b mounted on the moving assembly 2232 a . The second engaging portion 2232 b can be engaged with the first fixing mechanism 230 .

[0074] The moving assembly 2232a is disposed at the output end of the driving assembly 2231. For example, the moving assembly 2232a can be threadedly connected to the screw 2231a. When the moving assembly 2232a moves, it can drive the second engaging portion 2232b to move closer to or away from the first fixing mechanism 230.

[0075] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first fixing mechanism 230 includes a first fixing component 231, which is arranged parallel to the track mechanism 210. The first fixing component 231 is provided with a first locking portion 2311 along its length direction, and the first locking portion 2311 is used to form a fixation with the second locking portion 2232b.

[0076] The first fixing component 231 can be arranged on the periphery of the track mechanism 210, and the first fixing component 231 can be connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 100. Figure 5 The second fixing component 2232 has two second locking portions 2232b, and the two groups of second fixing components 2232 are provided with a total of four second locking portions 2232b. In order to adapt to the four second locking portions 2232b, the first fixing mechanism 230 can also include two groups of first fixing components 231, wherein each group of first fixing components 231 can include two fixing strips 2312, and the four fixing strips 2312 are all provided with a first locking portion 2311.

[0077] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The moving component 2232a may include a moving plate 2232a1 and a cantilever 2232a2 connected to the moving plate 2232a1, the moving plate 2232a1 is installed at the output end of the driving component 2231, the driving component 2231 can drive the moving plate 2232a1 to move, the cantilever 2232a2 can extend from the surface of the moving plate 2232a1, and the second clamping portion 2232b can be set at the end of the cantilever 2232a2, so that the second clamping portion 2232b can be fixed with the first clamping portion 2311.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first engaging portion 2311 and the second engaging portion 2232b include latch teeth, and the server mounting base 220 can be fixed on the first fixing mechanism 230 by engaging between the latch teeth.

[0079] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The base body 221 includes at least a pair of mounting substrates 2212 that are opposite to and spaced apart from each other. The lifting portion 222 is connected between the mounting substrates 2212 and extends in a direction away from the mounting substrates 2212. A movable cavity 2213 is formed between the mounting substrates 2212, and the second fixing mechanism 223 is movably arranged in the movable cavity 2213.

[0080] The surface of the mounting substrate 2212 can form the mounting plane 2211. Therefore, the mounting substrate 2212 can be a flat plate structure. During assembly, a pair of mounting substrates 2212 can be arranged vertically and spaced apart.

[0081] The lifting portion 222 can be connected to a pair of mounting bases 2212 at the same time. Figure 4 One end of the lifting portion 222 is connected to a pair of mounting base plates 2212, and the other end of the lifting portion 222 can move along the lifting mechanism. The lifting portion 222 can be welded to the pair of mounting base plates 2212 to form an integral body. To ensure a reliable connection, one end of the lifting portion 222 can be inserted between the pair of mounting base plates 2212, and then welded to the space between the pair of mounting base plates 2212.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the seat body 221 and the lifting part 222 can be stably connected together, and at the same time, the seat body 221 and the lifting part 222 can form a movable cavity 2213 for the second fixing mechanism 223 to move. The second fixing mechanism 223 can move in the movable cavity 2213, so that the second fixing mechanism 223 can switch between the first position and the second position.

[0083] Taking the first fixing mechanism 230 including the aforementioned moving component 2232a as an example, in order to realize the movement of the moving component 2232a, a guide rail can be set in the moving cavity 2213, and the moving plate 2232a1 in the moving component 2232a can be restricted on the guide rail and move along the guide rail.

[0084] The above embodiment can achieve the fixation of the server mounting base 220 through the cooperation between the first fixing mechanism 230 and the second fixing mechanism 223. The position adjustment range of the server mounting base 220 is wide and continuous adjustment is adopted. The server mounting base 220 can be located at any position on the track mechanism 210. In addition to the above embodiment, to achieve the fixation of the server mounting base 220, the server mounting base 220 can also be set in the receiving cavity 101 by means of a buckle. For example, first buckles of different heights can be provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 100, and second buckles that can be engaged with the first buckles can be provided on the server mounting base 220. In this way, the position of the server mounting base 220 can be adjusted by buckling the server mounting base 220 onto different first buckles.

[0085] In combination with the above description, each server can be arranged vertically in the receiving cavity 101 . To match each server, the heat conducting mechanism 310 can also be arranged vertically in the receiving cavity 101 .

[0086] Figure 6 A schematic structural diagram of a heat dissipation structure 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 This is a structural schematic diagram of a heat dissipation structure 300 provided in an embodiment of the present application from another angle.

[0087] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The heat conducting mechanism 310 includes a heat conducting plate 311 and a heat conducting component 312 disposed on the heat conducting plate 311 .

[0088] The heat conducting plate 311 can adopt a flat plate structure, and each server can abut against the heat conducting plate 311. The heat conducting plate 311 is vertically arranged. The heat conducting plate 311 can also serve as the installation reference of each server on the basis of transferring heat. When installing the server, the server abutting against the heat conducting plate 311 can indicate that the server is installed in place.

[0089] The heat conducting plate 311 can be made of a heat conducting material, such as metal.

[0090] The function of the heat conduction assembly 312 is to improve the thermal conductivity of the heat conduction mechanism 310. The heat conduction assembly 312 can be placed directly opposite the server. It is understood that for the entire receiving chamber 101, the heat concentration area is the location of the server. By placing the heat conduction assembly 312 directly opposite the server, the heat from the high-temperature area can be quickly transferred to the heat conduction mechanism 310.

[0091] The number of heat conduction components 312 can be set according to needs, and multiple heat conduction components 312 can be evenly arranged on the heat conducting plate 311.

[0092] Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of a heat conduction component 312 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 A mounting channel 3111 is provided on the heat conducting plate 311, and the heat conducting assembly 312 includes a hollow heat conducting tube 3121, an elastic member 3122 and a heat conducting fitting 3123. The hollow heat conducting tube 3121 is correspondingly arranged in the mounting channel 3111, and the elastic member 3122 is connected between the hollow heat conducting tube 3121 and the heat conducting fitting 3123. The heat conducting fitting 3123 is attached to the outer wall of the heat exchange mechanism 320.

[0094] Because the heat conducting plate 311 has a mounting channel 3111, heat can easily pass through the mounting channel 3111 to reach the heat exchange mechanism 320. The heat conducting assembly 312 disposed within the mounting channel 3111 not only facilitates heat conduction, but also seals the mounting channel 3111, thereby placing the server in a relatively closed environment.

[0095] The hollow heat-conducting tube 3121 is a hollow cylindrical structure. The hollow heat-conducting tube 3121 needs to have at least one closed end to seal the installation channel 3111. The hollow heat-conducting tube 3121 has a large heat exchange area, and heat can be conducted through the tube wall of the hollow heat-conducting tube 3121. The elastic force of the elastic member 3122 can drive the heat-conducting fitting 3123 to fit the outer wall of the heat exchange mechanism 320, thereby preventing the heat-conducting fitting 3123 from detaching from the heat exchange mechanism 320. The area of ​​the heat-conducting fitting 3123 can be set according to needs. Based on the fit between the heat-conducting fitting 3123 and the heat exchange mechanism 320, heat can be quickly transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320.

[0096] Figure 9 A schematic structural diagram of a heat exchange mechanism 320 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 10 A schematic diagram of the internal structure of a heat exchange mechanism 320 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 The heat exchange mechanism 320 includes a box body 321 and a cooling liquid circulation component 322 . The box body 321 has a liquid chamber 3211 inside. The cooling liquid circulation component 322 is used to circulate the cooling liquid in the liquid chamber 3211 .

[0098] In combination with the foregoing, it can be understood that the heat generated by the server can be transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320 via the heat conduction mechanism 310. Since there is circulating coolant inside the box 321 in the heat exchange mechanism 320, the heat can be dissipated through the circulation of the coolant.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The coolant circulation component 322 includes a liquid tank 3221, a siphon pipe 3222 and a liquid return component 3223. The siphon pipe 3222 is arranged from top to bottom in the box body 321. The siphon pipe 3222 is used to suck the coolant in the liquid tank 3221 into the liquid containing cavity 3211. The liquid return component 3223 is used to suck the coolant in the liquid containing cavity 3211 into the liquid tank 3221.

[0100] The liquid tank 3221 is used to store coolant. The coolant can be a flowing medium such as water. The liquid tank 3221 can be set outside the cabinet 100. For example, the liquid tank 3221 can be set on the top of the cabinet 100.

[0101] The siphon pipe 3222 extends from the liquid tank 3221 into the liquid holding cavity 3211. The siphon pipe 3222 can use the siphon effect to suck the coolant in the liquid tank 3221 into the solution cavity, and the liquid return component 3223 can suck the coolant in the liquid holding cavity 3211 back into the liquid tank 3221, thereby realizing the circulation of the coolant.

[0102] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The siphon pipe 3222 may include a detachable first pipe 3222a and a second pipe 3222b, wherein the first pipe 3222a is connected to the liquid tank 3221, and the second pipe 3222b can be accommodated in the liquid containing cavity 3211, thereby enabling the liquid tank 3221 and the second pipe 3222b to be disassembled, which is conducive to the maintenance and replacement of the liquid tank 3221, the second pipe 3222b, etc.

[0103] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The liquid return component 3223 includes a liquid return pipe 3223a, a liquid return pump 3223b and a liquid infusion pipe 3223c. The liquid return pipe 3223a extends into the liquid containing cavity 3211. The water inlet of the liquid return pump 3223b is connected to the liquid return pipe 3223a, the water outlet of the liquid return pump 3223b is connected to the liquid infusion pipe 3223c, and the liquid infusion pipe 3223c is connected to the liquid tank 3221.

[0104] The liquid return pump 3223b is used to generate power. After the liquid return pump 3223b is working, it can absorb the cooling liquid in the liquid chamber 3211 into the liquid return pump 3223b through the liquid return pipe 3223a and the water inlet, and then send the cooling liquid into the liquid tank 3221 through the water outlet and the liquid infusion pipe 3223c.

[0105] The liquid return pump 3223b can be fixedly mounted on the top of the cabinet 100 or connected to the outer wall of the liquid tank 3221. The liquid return pipe 3223a and the liquid infusion pipe 3223c can be flexible pipes to facilitate the arrangement of the liquid infusion pipe 3223c and the liquid return pipe 3223a.

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The end of the liquid return pipe 3223a extending into the liquid containing chamber 3211 can be close to the bottom of the liquid containing chamber 3211, so that the liquid return component 3223 can extract more cooling liquid from the liquid containing chamber 3211.

[0107] Figure 11This is a schematic diagram of the connection between a liquid return pipe 3223a and a filter element 3223d provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 11 One end of the return liquid pipe 3223a located in the liquid containing chamber 3211 is provided with a filter element 3223d for filtering the coolant. The filter element 3223d can prevent dust and the like from entering the return liquid pipe 3223a, avoid clogging the return liquid component 3223, and ensure the smooth operation of the return liquid component 3223.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The heat exchange mechanism 320 further includes an air-cooling circulation component 323 , which is used to form air flow in the liquid containing cavity 3211 .

[0110] The function of the aforementioned coolant is to dissipate heat, therefore, the temperature of the coolant tends to rise. Here, by setting up the air-cooling circulation component 323, an air-cooling circulation can be added on the basis of the coolant circulation, which can enhance the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation structure 300.

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The air-cooling circulation component 323 includes an air housing 3231, a fan 3232 and a ventilation pipe 3233. The air housing 3231 cover 400 is on the outside of the box body 321. The air housing 3231 is provided with multiple air inlets 3231a. The fan 3232 is arranged on the outer wall of the box body 321 and faces the air housing 3231. The ventilation pipe 3233 is passed through the box body 321. One end of the ventilation pipe 3233 faces the air housing 3231, and the other end of the ventilation pipe 3233 faces the heat conduction mechanism 310.

[0112] When it is necessary to operate the above-mentioned air cooling circulation component 323, the fan 3232 can be started. After the fan 3232 is started, the cold air from the outside can pass through the air inlet 3231a and the ventilation pipe 3233 on the air shell 3231 in sequence and reach the space between the box body 321 and the heat conducting plate 311. The cold air in the ventilation pipe 3233 can provide a cold air environment for the liquid holding chamber 3211, and the cold air environment can achieve better heat dissipation together with the coolant. The cold air entering the space between the box body 321 and the heat conducting plate 311 can dissipate heat for the heat conducting plate 311 and the box body 321. Overall, the combination of coolant and cold air can achieve a good heat dissipation effect.

[0113] In some embodiments, to prevent heat from being transferred to the outside of the box 321 to burn the user, the side of the box 321 facing the wind shell 3231 can be made of non-heat-conductive material. Thus, when the wind shell 3231 is exposed to the outside, heat is difficult to be transferred to the wind shell 3231.

[0114] In some embodiments, the air housing 3231 may adopt an inward convex structure. After the air housing 3231 is installed on the box body 321, the air housing 3231 may protrude toward the box body 321, thereby preventing the user from contacting the air housing 3231.

[0115] In some embodiments, the air inlets 3231a on the air shell 3231 can be densely arranged on the air shell 3231, and the air inlets 3231a can adopt a structure with a large outer end and a small inner end, so that cold air from the outside can quickly enter the box body 321.

[0116] In some embodiments, an air outlet (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the bottom of the cabinet 100 so that the cold air entering the heat dissipation structure 300 can flow out from the air outlet.

[0117] The above embodiment of the present application describes the space allocation function and heat dissipation function of the installation cabinet. The space allocation structure 200 is used to realize the storage function of multiple servers, and the heat dissipation structure 300 is used to realize the heat dissipation function. In the above embodiment, to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the space allocation structure 200 and the heat dissipation structure 300, the space allocation structure 200 and the heat dissipation structure 300 can be installed in a detachable manner within the cabinet body 100.

[0118] Taking the space allocation structure 200 as an example, the server mounting base 220 in the space allocation structure 200 can be configured to be detachable from the lifting mechanism. In this case, a gap can be left between the top of the lifting mechanism and the top of the cabinet 100, and the server mounting base 220 can be detached from the lifting mechanism from the top of the lifting mechanism to facilitate repair and replacement of the relevant structures of the server mounting base 220. In addition, as can be seen from the above embodiments, for the server mounting base 220, the base body 221 and the lifting portion 222 can be welded together, in which case the two cannot be disassembled. In other embodiments, the base body 221 and the lifting portion 222 can also be connected together by mechanical connection, and the base body 221 and the lifting portion 222 can be disassembled. This disassembly facilitates the detachable connection between the second fixing mechanism 223 and the base body 221.

[0119] Therefore, for the space allocation structure 200 , each component of the space allocation structure 200 can be detached from the cabinet 100 . This design method is conducive to replacing or repairing the space allocation structure 200 .

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 In order to install the server into the receiving cavity 101 and to facilitate the replacement or maintenance of relevant parts of the space allocation structure 200, the cabinet 100 includes a switch door 110, which is arranged on one side of the cabinet 100. A handle 111 is also provided on the switch door 110, and the user can open or close the switch door 110 through the handle 111.

[0121] As for the heat dissipation structure 300 , taking the above heat dissipation structure 300 including the heat conducting mechanism 310 and the heat exchanging mechanism 320 as an example, both of them can also be detachably arranged in the cabinet 100 .

[0122] Figure 12 A schematic structural diagram of a cover 400 provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 9 and Figure 12 The installation cabinet may further include a cover 400, which includes a limiting portion 410. The top of the box body 321 has an opening 3213, and the outside of the box body 321 is provided with a strip plate 3212. The side wall of the air shell 3231 is provided with a slot 3231b for inserting the strip plate 3212. The cover 400 can cover the opening 3213 and the limiting portion 410 of the cover 400 can be limited to the outside of the air shell 3231.

[0124] The box 321 and the enclosure are two components of the heat exchange mechanism 320. The arrangement of the strip plate 3212 and the slot 3231b allows the enclosure and the box 321 to be connected by plugging into each other. During installation, the box 321 can be first installed within the cabinet 100. For example, the box 321 can be placed from top to bottom within the cabinet 100. In some embodiments, the inner sidewalls of the cabinet 100 can be provided with structures similar to the slot 3231b or strip plate 3212 described above, corresponding to the box 321, so that the box 321 can also be plugged into the cabinet 100. The heat transfer mechanism 310 can also be plugged into the cabinet 100 in the same manner as described above, and will not be further described.

[0125] It will be appreciated that to facilitate the insertion and assembly of the heat transfer mechanism 310 and the heat exchange mechanism 320, a mounting opening (not shown) may be provided on the top of the cabinet 100. Regarding the housing 321, the opening 3213 on the top of the housing 321 facilitates the arrangement of the aforementioned siphon pipe 3222, liquid return pipe 3223a, etc. The opening 3213 of the housing 321 corresponds to the mounting opening of the cabinet 100. The cover 400 seals the mounting opening and the opening 3213.

[0126] During assembly, for example, after the heat conducting mechanism 310, heat exchanging mechanism 320, etc. are inserted into the cabinet 100 and the siphon pipe 3222 and liquid return pipe 3223a are placed in the liquid holding chamber 3211 of the box 321, the cover 400 can be placed on the installation opening of the cabinet 100. In this case, the cover 400 can seal both the installation opening and the opening 3213 of the box 321. In addition, because the limit portion 410 is provided on the cover 400, the limit portion 410 can also limit the enclosure, thereby forming a reliable connection between the box 321, the air housing 3231, and the cabinet 100.

[0127] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 The limiting portion 410 may include a limiting strip 411 , which may be provided in pairs. The limiting strip 411 may be limited to the outside of the cabinet 100 and the air housing 3231 .

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 The cover 400 further includes an abutment portion 420, which is used to abut against the top of the wind shell 3231. The abutment portion 420 can limit the wind shell 3231 at the top to prevent the wind shell 3231 from detaching from the box body 321.
