[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning 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. Servers can provide various types of services to other computers on a network (usually 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-scale data processing needs.

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

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

[0034] Multiple servers of varying sizes and dimensions make it difficult to achieve compatibility between multiple servers and the same server rack, limiting server installation and hindering future server replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, server racks in related technologies typically only provide storage; while servers can be housed within the rack's internal space, effective heat dissipation is challenging when multiple servers are installed within the rack, impacting server performance.

[0035] Based on the above-mentioned situation and problems, this application provides a server installation cabinet that can accommodate multiple servers, has strong adaptability, and can also dissipate heat from the server to ensure its smooth operation.

[0036] Therefore, the installation cabinet in this embodiment is configured with a space allocation function. The cabinet can adjust the size of the installation space according to different servers, allowing each installation space to be adapted to the installation of each server. Furthermore, the installation cabinet is equipped with a heat dissipation structure to dissipate heat from each server located in the installation space. This heat dissipation structure can directly contact the server, allowing the server's heat to be concentrated and quickly transferred to the heat dissipation structure.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a server mounting cabinet provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a server mounting cabinet from another angle, provided as an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of a server mounting cabinet provided in an embodiment of this application.

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

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

[0041] The cabinet 100 can be designed to be sealed to prevent dust, steam, etc. from entering the containment 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 cuboid. For the sake of simplification and ease of understanding, the following embodiments will be described using a cuboid cabinet 100 as an example.

[0043] The space allocation structure 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101 and is configured to divide the receiving cavity 101 into multiple adjustable-size installation spaces 102 for installing servers.

[0044] It should be noted that the installation space 102 can be an open space or a closed space. In this embodiment, the installation space 102 is mainly 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 part of the heat dissipation structure 300 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101, and the heat dissipation structure 300 is used to dissipate heat from the server.

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

[0047] When the server is working, it generates heat. Since the outer wall of the server is in contact with the heat conduction mechanism 310, the heat generated by the server can be transferred to the heat conduction mechanism 310 and finally transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320, which can dissipate the heat.

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

[0049] In this embodiment, the mounting cabinet includes a cabinet 100, a space allocation structure 200, and a heat dissipation structure 300. The space allocation structure 200 divides the receiving cavity 101 of the cabinet 100 into multiple adjustable installation spaces 102, allowing the cabinet 100 to accommodate the installation of multiple servers. This facilitates the installation of multiple servers into the cabinet 100 and is beneficial for future server replacement or maintenance. The heat dissipation structure 300 dissipates heat from the servers within the cabinet 100, thereby maintaining server performance stability. Furthermore, since the heat dissipation structure 300 includes a heat-conducting mechanism 310 that can contact the server, the server's heat can be more concentrated and quickly transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320. The heat exchange mechanism 320, based on its heat exchange capacity, enhances the heat dissipation effect on the server, thereby further improving the server's performance stability. The installation cabinet in this embodiment integrates the storage function for multiple servers and the heat dissipation function for the servers, thus expanding the functionality of the installation cabinet. This installation cabinet can accommodate the installation of multiple servers and has a wide range of applications. Based on the setting of its heat dissipation structure 300, the installation cabinet can improve the performance stability of the servers.

[0050] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 Multiple installation spaces 102 are arranged along a first direction, thereby enabling the structural layout of the spatial arrangement structure 200. This spatial arrangement structure 200 can divide the receiving cavity 101 in the vertical direction, where the vertical direction can be based on... Figure 1 Using the coordinate system in the diagram, the vertical direction can be understood as the Z-direction. It is understood that in other embodiments, the receiving cavity 101 may 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 bases 220 that can be raised and lowered along the track mechanism 210. The track mechanism 210 is arranged along a first direction, and the aforementioned installation space 102 is formed between two adjacent server mounting bases 220.

[0052] Therefore, the position of the server mounting base 220 can be adjusted by moving the server mounting base 220 along the track mechanism 210, thereby allowing the installation space 102 between the two server mounting bases 220 to be adjusted in size.

[0053] The first direction mentioned above can be understood as the Z direction. The track mechanism 210 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 as a through groove, or the track structure can be set as a support for the convex rail 211.

[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The track mechanism 210 includes at least one pair of support rails 211 arranged opposite each other, and the inner side of the support rails 211 is provided with a slot 2111, along which the server mounting base 220 can move.

[0055] Understandably, in order to improve the stability of the server mounting bracket 220, the support rails 211 can be set in two pairs, one pair is set on one inner side of the cabinet 100, and the other pair can be set on the other inner side of the cabinet 100, with the two inner sides being opposite to each other.

[0056] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a server mounting base 220 provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of a server mounting base 220 with the base body 221 removed, provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 The server mounting base 220 includes a base body 221 and a lifting part 222 connected to the base body 221. The base body 221 has a mounting plane 2211 on which the server is mounted. The lifting part 222 can move up and down along the track mechanism 210.

[0058] The base 221 is the structure in the server mounting base 220 used to support the server. Therefore, in order to improve the support effect on the server, the base 221 is provided with a mounting surface 2211, so that the server can be placed flat on the base 221.

[0059] The lifting part 222 is a structure in the server mounting base 220 used to realize movement. The lifting part 222 can cooperate with the aforementioned track mechanism 210, so that the server mounting base 220 as a whole can move along the track mechanism 210, that is, realize lifting movement.

[0060] Taking the track mechanism 210 with the aforementioned slot 2111 as an example, to cooperate with the slot 2111, the lifting part 222 can be configured to have a protrusion 2222, which can be confined within the slot 2111. For details, please refer to... Figure 4 As the lifting part 222 extends from the side wall of the seat 221, a limiting plate 2221 is provided at the end of the lifting part 222. A protrusion 2222 is provided at each end of the limiting plate 2221, so that both sides of the limiting plate 2221 can be restricted in the slot 2111. One of the protrusions 2222 is restricted in one of the pair of supporting protrusions 211, and the other protrusion 2222 is restricted in the other of the pair of supporting protrusions 211.

[0061] In accordance with the foregoing, to improve the mobility stability of the server mounting base 220, the server mounting base 220 may include two lifting parts 222, and the two lifting parts 222 extend in a direction 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 base 220 includes a second fixing mechanism 223. The second fixing mechanism 223 is connected to the base 221 in a manner that allows it to move relative to the base 221. The second fixing mechanism 223 has a first position that is fixed to the first fixing mechanism 230 and a second position that is 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 221 in a way that allows it to move relative to the base 221, which simplifies the position adjustment of the server mounting base 220 and prevents 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 a first fixed position to a second fixed position as an example, both the first and second fixed positions are 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. The second fixing mechanism 223 cooperates with the first fixing mechanism 230 to complete the fixation. When it is necessary to adjust the server mounting base 220 to the second fixed position, the second fixing mechanism 223 first needs to be moved from the first position to the second position. At this time, the second fixing mechanism 223 can detach 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 is driven to switch back from the second position to the first position. At this time, the server mounting base 220 can be fixed with the first fixing mechanism 230 again, thereby fixing the server mounting base 220 in the second fixed position.

[0065] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second fixing mechanism 223 includes a drive component 2231 and a second fixing component 2232 connected to the drive component 2231. The drive 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 drive component 2231 can generate power to the second fixing component 2232, enabling the second fixing component 2232 to move closer to or further away from the first fixing mechanism 230. It is understood that when the second fixing component 2232 moves closer to the first fixing mechanism 230, it can achieve fixation between the first fixing mechanism 230 and the second fixing mechanism 223. When the second fixing component 2232 moves away from the first fixing mechanism 230, the first fixing mechanism 230 and the second fixing mechanism 223 can be detached.

[0067] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The drive assembly 2231 includes a rotatably configured screw 2231a with a thread on it, and the second fixing assembly 2232 is threadedly connected to the thread.

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

[0069] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The screw 2231a can be a bidirectional screw 2231a, with two threads on the screw 2231a. The second fixing component 2232 can be configured as two sets, and the two second fixing components 2232 can be threadedly connected to the threads at both ends respectively.

[0070] Therefore, the rotation of the screw 2231a can drive the two sets of second fixing components 2232 to move closer or further apart, allowing both sets of second fixing components 2232 to move towards the first fixing mechanism 230. Furthermore, the presence of two sets of second fixing components 2232 provides more fixing points for the server mounting base 220, enabling 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 drive assembly 2231 may also include an adjustment knob 2231b, which is fixedly connected to the screw 2231a. Rotating the adjustment knob 2231b will drive the screw 2231a to rotate.

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

[0073] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 The second fixing component 2232 includes a movable component 2232a and a second engaging portion 2232b mounted on the movable component 2232a, which can engage with the first fixing mechanism 230.

[0074] The movable component 2232a is disposed at the output end of the drive component 2231. For example, the movable component 2232a can be threadedly connected to the screw 2231a. When the movable component 2232a moves, it can drive the second engaging part 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 has a first engaging portion 2311 along its length direction, which is used to form a fixation with the second engaging portion 2232b.

[0076] The first fixing component 231 can be disposed 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. Please refer to the reference. Figure 5 The second fixing component 2232 has two second engaging portions 2232b, and the two sets of second fixing components 2232 have a total of four second engaging portions 2232b. To adapt to the four second engaging portions 2232b, the first fixing mechanism 230 may also include two sets of first fixing components 231. Each set of first fixing components 231 may include two fixing strips 2312, and each of the four fixing strips 2312 is provided with a first engaging 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 mounted on the output end of the driving component 2231, which can drive the moving plate 2232a1 to move. The cantilever 2232a2 can extend from the surface of the moving plate 2232a1. A second engaging portion 2232b can be provided at the end of the cantilever 2232a2, so that the second engaging portion 2232b can be fixed with the first engaging portion 2311.

[0078] In some specific embodiments, please refer to the references. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The first engaging part 2311 and the second engaging part 2232b include locking teeth, which engage with each other to fix the server mounting base 220 onto the first fixing mechanism 230.

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

[0080] The mounting plane 2211 can be formed on the surface of the mounting substrate 2212, therefore, the mounting substrate 2212 can have a flat plate structure. In specific assembly, a pair of mounting substrates 2212 can be arranged at vertical intervals.

[0081] The lifting unit 222 can be connected to a pair of mounting base plates 2212 simultaneously. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4 One end of the lifting part 222 is connected to a pair of mounting base plates 2212, and the other end of the lifting part 222 can move along the lifting mechanism. The lifting part 222 can be integrally formed with the pair of mounting base plates 2212 by welding. To ensure the reliability of the connection, one end of the lifting part 222 can extend between the pair of mounting base plates 2212, and then the other end of the lifting part 222 is welded to the pair of mounting base plates 2212.

[0082] In the above embodiment, the seat 221 and the lifting part 222 can be stably connected together. At the same time, the seat 221 and the lifting part 222 can form a moving cavity 2213 for the second fixing mechanism 223 to move. The second fixing mechanism 223 can move in the moving cavity 2213, thereby enabling the second fixing mechanism 223 to 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 embodiments 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 server mounting base 220 has a wide range of position adjustment and is continuously adjustable, allowing it to be positioned at any location on the track mechanism 210. In addition to the embodiments described above, to achieve fixation of the server mounting base 220, it can also be secured in the receiving cavity 101 using a snap-fit ​​mechanism. For example, first snap-fits of different heights can be provided on the inner wall of the cabinet 100, and second snap-fits that can engage with the first snap-fits can be provided on the server mounting base 220. Thus, the position of the server mounting base 220 can be adjusted by snapping it onto different first snap-fits.

[0085] As described above, each server can be arranged vertically within the containment cavity 101. To accommodate each server, the heat conduction mechanism 310 can also be arranged vertically within the containment cavity 101.

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

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

[0088] The heat-conducting plate 311 can be a flat plate structure, and each server can be placed against the heat-conducting plate 311. The heat-conducting plate 311 is set vertically. In addition to transferring heat, the heat-conducting plate 311 can also serve as the installation reference for each server. When installing a server, the server touching the heat-conducting plate 311 indicates that the server is installed in place.

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

[0090] The function of the heat conduction component 312 is to improve the heat conduction performance of the heat conduction mechanism 310. The heat conduction component 312 can be positioned directly opposite the server. It is understood that, for the entire containment cavity 101, the area where heat is concentrated is the location of the server. By positioning the heat conduction component 312 directly opposite the server, heat from the high-temperature area can be quickly directed to the heat conduction mechanism 310.

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

[0092] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a heat conduction component 312 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0093] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 8 The heat-conducting plate 311 is provided with an installation channel 3111. The heat conduction component 312 includes a hollow heat-conducting cylinder 3121, an elastic element 3122, and a heat-conducting bonding element 3123. The hollow heat-conducting cylinder 3121 is correspondingly disposed in the installation channel 3111. The elastic element 3122 is connected between the hollow heat-conducting cylinder 3121 and the heat-conducting bonding element 3123. The heat-conducting bonding element 3123 is attached to the outer wall of the heat exchange mechanism 320.

[0094] Because an installation channel 3111 is provided on the heat-conducting plate 311, heat can easily reach the heat exchange mechanism 320 through the installation channel 3111. The heat conduction component 312 is set in the installation channel 3111 for the purpose of heat conduction, and also to seal the installation channel 3111, so that the server is in a relatively closed environment.

[0095] The hollow heat-conducting cylinder 3121 is a hollow cylindrical structure. It requires at least one closed end to seal the installation channel 3111. The hollow heat-conducting cylinder 3121 has a large heat exchange area, allowing heat to be conducted through its cylinder wall. The elastic force of the elastic element 3122 drives the thermally conductive adhesive element 3123 to adhere to the outer wall of the heat exchange mechanism 320, preventing it from detaching. The area of ​​the thermally conductive adhesive element 3123 can be set according to requirements. Based on the adhesion between the thermally conductive adhesive element 3123 and the heat exchange mechanism 320, heat can be quickly transferred to the heat exchange mechanism 320.

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

[0097] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 The heat exchange mechanism 320 includes a housing 321 and a coolant circulation assembly 322. The housing 321 has a liquid-containing chamber 3211 inside, and the coolant circulation assembly 322 is used to circulate the coolant in the liquid-containing chamber 3211.

[0098] Based on 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 the housing 321 of the heat exchange mechanism 320 contains circulating coolant, the heat can be dissipated through the circulation of the coolant.

[0099] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The coolant circulation assembly 322 includes a liquid tank 3221, a siphon pipe 3222, and a return assembly 3223. The siphon pipe 3222 is arranged from top to bottom inside the housing 321. The siphon pipe 3222 is used to draw coolant from the liquid tank 3221 into the liquid chamber 3211. The return assembly 3223 is used to draw coolant from the liquid chamber 3211 into the liquid tank 3221.

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

[0101] The siphon pipe 3222 extends from the liquid tank 3221 into the liquid chamber 3211. The siphon pipe 3222 can use the siphon effect to draw the coolant in the liquid tank 3221 into the liquid chamber. The return liquid assembly 3223 can draw the coolant in the liquid chamber 3211 back into the liquid tank 3221, thereby realizing the circulation of 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. The first pipe 3222a is connected to the liquid tank 3221, and the second pipe 3222b can be housed in the liquid chamber 3211. This allows for the disassembly of the liquid tank 3221 and the second pipe 3222b, which is beneficial for the maintenance and replacement of the liquid tank 3221 and the second pipe 3222b.

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

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

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

[0106] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 One end of the return pipe 3223a that extends into the liquid chamber 3211 can be close to the bottom of the liquid chamber 3211, so that the return assembly 3223 can draw more coolant from the liquid chamber 3211.

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

[0108] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 11 The return pipe 3223a is provided with a filter element 3223d for filtering the coolant at one end located in the liquid chamber 3211. The filter element 3223d can prevent dust and other particles from entering the return pipe 3223a, thus preventing blockage of the return assembly 3223 and ensuring the smooth operation of the return assembly 3223.

[0109] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The heat exchange mechanism 320 also includes an air-cooled circulation assembly 323, which is used to form an airflow in the liquid chamber 3211.

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

[0111] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The air-cooled circulation assembly 323 includes a fan housing 3231, a fan 3232, and a ventilation duct 3233. The fan housing 3231 is covered by a cover 400 on the outside of the housing 321. The fan housing 3231 is provided with multiple air inlets 3231a. The fan 3232 is located on the outer wall of the housing 321 and faces the fan housing 3231. The ventilation duct 3233 passes through the housing 321. One end of the ventilation duct 3233 faces the fan housing 3231, and the other end of the ventilation duct 3233 faces the heat conduction mechanism 310.

[0112] When the aforementioned air-cooled circulation component 323 needs to be operated, 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 fan housing 3231 and reach the space between the housing 321 and the heat-conducting plate 311. The cold air in the ventilation pipe 3233 can provide a cold air environment for the liquid chamber 3211. This cold air environment can achieve better heat dissipation together with the coolant. The cold air entering the space between the housing 321 and the heat-conducting plate 311 can dissipate heat for the heat-conducting plate 311 and the housing 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 housing 321 and burning the user, the side of the housing 321 facing the fan housing 3231 may be made of a non-thermal conductive material, so that when the fan housing 3231 is exposed, heat is difficult to be transferred to the fan housing 3231.

[0114] In some embodiments, the fan housing 3231 may have an inwardly convex structure. After the fan housing 3231 is installed on the housing 321, the fan housing 3231 may protrude into the housing 321, which can prevent the user from contacting the fan housing 3231.

[0115] In some embodiments, the air inlets 3231a on the fan housing 3231 can be densely arranged on the fan housing 3231, and the air inlets 3231a can adopt a structure with a large outer end and a small inner end, so that the cold air from the outside can quickly enter the housing 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 embodiments of this application describe the space allocation and heat dissipation functions of the mounting cabinet. The space allocation structure 200 is used to accommodate multiple servers, and the heat dissipation structure 300 is used to dissipate heat. In the above embodiments, to facilitate the replacement and maintenance of the space allocation structure 200 and the heat dissipation structure 300, both the space allocation structure 200 and the heat dissipation structure 300 can be detachably installed inside the cabinet 100.

[0118] Taking the space allocation structure 200 as an example, the server mounting base 220 in the space allocation structure 200 can be detached 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, allowing the server mounting base 220 to detach from the top of the lifting mechanism for maintenance and replacement of its related structures. Furthermore, as can be seen from the above embodiments, for the server mounting base 220, the base body 221 and the lifting part 222 can be welded together, making them non-detachable. In other embodiments, the base body 221 and the lifting part 222 can also be mechanically connected, allowing them to be separated. This separation facilitates a 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 facilitates the replacement or maintenance of the space allocation structure 200.

[0120] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 In order to install the server into the housing 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 located on one side of the cabinet 100. A handle 111 is also provided on the switch door 110, which the user can use to open or close the switch door 110.

[0121] For the heat dissipation structure 300, taking the heat dissipation structure 300 including the heat conduction mechanism 310 and the heat exchange mechanism 320 as an example, both can be detachably installed in the cabinet 100.

[0122] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of a cap 400 provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0123] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 The installation cabinet may also include a cover 400, which includes a limiting part 410. The top of the housing 321 has an opening 3213, and a strip plate 3212 is provided on the outside of the housing 321. The side wall of the fan housing 3231 is provided with a slot 3231b into which the strip plate 3212 can be inserted. The cover 400 can cover the opening 3213 and the limiting part 410 of the cover 400 can restrict it to the outside of the fan housing 3231.

[0124] The housing 321 and the enclosure are two components of the heat exchange mechanism 320. Based on the strip plate 3212 and the slot 3231b, the enclosure and housing 321 can be connected by interlocking. During installation, the housing 321 can be installed into the cabinet 100 first; for example, the housing 321 can be placed into the cabinet 100 from top to bottom. In some embodiments, the inner wall of the cabinet 100 can be provided with structures similar to the slot 3231b or strip plate 3212 described above, allowing the housing 321 to also be inserted into the cabinet 100 by interlocking. The heat conduction mechanism 310 can also be inserted into the cabinet 100 in the above manner, which will not be described further.

[0125] Understandably, to facilitate the insertion and assembly of the heat conduction mechanism 310 and the heat exchange mechanism 320, an installation port (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the top of the cabinet 100. For the housing 321, the opening 3213 at the top of the housing 321 facilitates the arrangement of the aforementioned siphon pipe 3222, return pipe 3223a, etc., and the opening 3213 of the housing 321 corresponds to the installation port of the cabinet 100. The cover 400 serves to seal the installation port and the opening 3213.

[0126] During specific assembly, for example, after inserting the heat conduction mechanism 310, heat exchange mechanism 320, etc. into the cabinet 100 and placing the siphon pipe 3222 and return pipe 3223a into the liquid-containing chamber 3211 of the box 321, the cover 400 can be closed onto the mounting port of the cabinet 100. At this time, the cover 400 can seal both the mounting port and the opening 3213 of the box 321. In addition, since the cover 400 is provided with a limiting part 410, the limiting part 410 can also restrict the cover to form a reliable connection between the box 321, the fan shell 3231, and the cabinet 100.

[0127] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 The limiting part 410 may include a limiting strip 411, which may be provided in pairs and may restrict the cabinet 100 and the fan shell 3231 to the outside.

[0128] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 12 The cover 400 also includes an abutment portion 420 for abutting against the top of the fan housing 3231. The abutment portion 420 can restrict the fan housing 3231 from above, preventing the fan housing 3231 from detaching from the housing 321.

[0129] The above provides a detailed description of a server mounting cabinet provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
