Description
Technical Field

[0002] Hard disk storage servers are core devices in data center and cloud computing environments, primarily used for storing and managing massive amounts of data. With the explosive growth of data volume, modern hard disk storage servers are evolving towards high density, large capacity, and high performance. These servers typically employ multi-disk array configurations, integrating a large number of mechanical hard drives or solid-state drives within a limited space to achieve petabyte (PB) or even exabyte (EB) level data storage capabilities. However, the heat dissipation issues arising from high-density configurations have become a key factor limiting the performance and reliability of storage servers.
[0003] Although existing technologies have attempted to optimize the heat dissipation and maintenance of storage servers, the following key issues still exist:

Traditional air cooling is difficult to meet heat dissipation requirements under high load, while single-pump liquid cooling only targets local heat dissipation and cannot achieve efficient cooling on both sides of the hard drive, resulting in uneven temperature distribution and affecting the lifespan of the hard drive.
[0005] 2. Most existing servers are fixed in place. Replacing hard drives requires removing brackets or screws, and cleaning the internal parts requires complete disassembly, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and increases maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0022] This invention provides an integrated water-cooled storage server. Compared with existing technologies, it has the following advantages:
[0023] 1. Highly efficient heat dissipation and strong adaptability:
[0024] Dual-sided synergistic cooling: By simultaneously dissipating heat through the upper cooling unit (contacting the top of the hard drive) and the lower cooling unit (U-shaped tubes attached to the bottom), the operating temperature of the hard drive is significantly reduced.
[0025] Closed-loop liquid cooling optimization: Coolant circulation is achieved by using inlet and outlet liquid valve groups and a recovery pump, resulting in high heat exchange efficiency and avoiding the uneven heat dissipation problem of traditional air cooling.
[0026] Intelligent load adaptation: The control module can adjust the flow rate to adapt to different operating load scenarios; the auxiliary air cooling and ventilation mesh form forced convection, further reducing the internal ambient temperature of the chassis, which is especially suitable for high-density storage servers to operate under high load for a long time.
[0027] 2. Modular maintenance and easy operation:
[0028] One-click hard drive replacement: When the enclosure is opened, the hard drive is automatically upright by the transmission assembly (drive gear → rack two → driven gear), allowing for quick insertion and removal without tools; the positioning plate is automatically reset by spring two, simplifying the operation process.
[0029] The cooling components are easy to clean: simply move the limit switch to disengage the secondary clamping block from the support base, and the support plate will stand upright under the action of the torsion spring, completely exposing the interior of the cooling chamber, which facilitates quick cleaning of dust or replacement of the cooling pipes.
[0030] 3. Thorough cleaning with no blind spots and controllable cables:
[0031] Fully exposed design: The support plate can be flipped up to 90°, fully exposing the cooling pipes, hard drive bays and the inside of the chassis, avoiding the tedious steps of disassembling multiple components required by traditional servers, and achieving thorough cleaning.
[0032] Cable anti-tangling and anti-breakage: The cable hub unit realizes automatic cable winding and unwinding function through drive gears and winding components, ensuring that cables are orderly during maintenance and avoiding tangling or breakage. Attached Figure Description

[0096] Cooling pipe arrangement: The support plate 701 is flipped by the movable shaft 702, and the cooling pipe 703 is embedded in the U-shaped cooling groove. The inlet / outlet connectors are connected to the pipeline.
[0097] Cleaning mode: Move the lever 713 → the secondary clamping block 712 disengages from the support base 704 → the support plate 701 stands upright under the action of the torsion spring, exposing the cooling chamber 102 for easy cleaning.
[0098] In this embodiment, the hub unit 900 includes a hollow square plate 1 901 and a hollow square plate 2 902. The hollow square plate 1 901 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the housing 100, and the hollow square plate 2 902 is fixedly installed on the back of the hollow square plate 1 901. A take-up member 903 extending into the hollow square plate 1 901 is rotatably installed on the hollow square plate 2 902. A rotating shaft 905 is rotatably installed inside the hollow square plate 1 901. A bevel gear set 906 that is connected to the take-up member 903 is mounted on the rotating shaft 905. One end of the rotating shaft 905 extends out of the hollow square plate 1 901 and is fixedly connected to a drive gear 907. The drive gear 907 meshes with the guide frame 201. A power terminal 904 extending into the interior is installed on one side of the hollow square plate 2 902, and the power terminal 904 extends into the take-up member 903.
[0099] Cable Management: When the housing 100 moves, the drive gear 907 drives the take-up piece 903 to synchronously take up and unload the cable through the bevel gear set 906, and the power terminal 904 maintains a stable connection.
[0100] Working principle and usage process of this invention:
[0101] When in use, the server's data cables are arranged. The external cable is first wound up using the rewinding device 903 and the external cable end is connected to the connection end of the power connector 904. Then, the internal cable is connected to the port of the power connector 904, and the other end of the internal cable is connected to the plug-in terminal on the chassis 100.
[0102] During operation, if personnel need to arrange or replace the hard drive 800, they can pull the chassis 100 out of the cabinet 200. At that time, the chassis 100 slides out of the guide frame 201 via the bottom guide rail 202. While sliding, the drive gear 907 meshes with the gear rack 203, causing the drive gear 907 to rotate. The drive gear 907 then drives the internal rotating shaft 905 to rotate. The rotating shaft 905 drives the winding component 903 to rotate through the bevel gear set 906, realizing the unwinding operation of the winding component 903. During the unwinding, the wire end of the external wiring is connected to the inner end of the power terminal 904. With the cooperation of the internal wiring, the chassis 100 can be stably slid out.
[0103] When the cover 300 is opened, the square shell 501 flips upwards simultaneously, causing the bottom positioning block 503 to disengage from the interface 625 of the positioning plate 621. The positioning plate 621 is pushed outwards by the spring force of the second spring 622, releasing the positioning restriction on the hard drive 800. At the same time, the connecting block 106 on the back of the cover 300 drives the connecting shaft 105 to rotate. At this time, the end of the connecting shaft 105 drives the drive gear 633 to rotate synchronously, driving the meshing gears. Rack 632 will then synchronously drive the meshing driven gear 631 to rotate, which in turn drives the mounting shaft 614 to rotate. The mating sleeve 611 on the mounting shaft 614 will disengage from the bearing seat 623, causing the hard disk 800 inside to flip upwards. This will cause the hard disk 800 inside the mating sleeve 611 to switch to an upright position, and the bottom surface of the hard disk 800 will disengage from the top surface of the cooling pipe 703, and the soft isolation membrane 502 will disengage from the top surface of the hard disk 800. At this time, personnel can replace or maintain the hard disk 800 by pulling it up.
[0104] During cooling, the control module 402 controls the inlet valve group 401, power module 403, recovery pump 405, and outlet valve group 404 to make them operate. The coolant in the external cooling system (exemplarily a chilled water circulation unit) is pumped into the inlet valve group 401 and then into the supply pipe 406. It is then distributed through the supply pipe 406 to the cooling pipe 703 and the square shell 501 respectively. During this period, the coolant in the cooling pipe 703 cools the contact hard disk 800, and the square shell 501 cools the contact surface of the hard disk 800 through the soft isolation membrane 502, performing double-sided cooling. The coolant that enters the square shell 501 and the cooling pipe 703 will flow back through the connected recovery pipe 407 and be drawn back into the outlet valve group 404 by starting the recovery pump 405, and then introduced back into the external cooling system, and the cycle repeats in this way.
[0105] During this period, fan 103 is turned on to perform air cooling. At that time, external air enters the chassis 100 through the ventilation mesh 301, and the air provides auxiliary cooling for the hard drive 800.
[0106] During cleaning, the hard drive 800 is adjusted to an upright position according to the steps of the operation stage. Then, the personnel manually move the lever 713, which simultaneously drives the connecting rod 711 to move, causing the secondary clamping block 712 on the connecting rod 711 to shift. At that time, the secondary clamping block 712 and the main clamping block 714 expand, releasing the positioning of the support base 704. Since the support plate 701 itself is no longer locked, the support plate 701 will flip upward through the torsion spring force of its own movable shaft 702. At that time, the support plate 701 also enters the upright position, and the personnel can then perform a uniform cleaning of the outside and inside of the server.
