Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of server control cabinet technology, and in particular to a server cabinet with a dual heat dissipation structure of liquid cooling and air cooling. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks are enclosures used to house panels, mainframes, plug-ins, and electronic components. After installation inside the server rack, the operation of electronic devices such as mainframes generates a lot of heat. This heat accumulates inside the server rack, which not only reduces the operating efficiency of the electronic devices but also shortens their lifespan. Therefore, server racks need to be cooled to prevent heat buildup.

[0003] In existing technologies, server heat dissipation mainly relies on two methods: liquid cooling and air cooling. Liquid cooling mainly involves fixing liquid cooling pipes to the inner wall of the server cabinet. However, in actual use, because the server cabinet needs to be adjusted according to the equipment being used, the distance between the water cooling system and the electronic components becomes large, resulting in reduced heat dissipation efficiency. Air cooling rapidly circulates internal heat and exchanges it with the outside air. However, since the equipment components have gaps, if the gaps are too small, the airflow will be obstructed, which will also reduce the heat dissipation effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the main objective of the present invention is to provide a server rack with a dual heat dissipation structure of liquid cooling and air cooling.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: a server rack with a dual heat dissipation structure of liquid cooling and air cooling, including a rack body, a door connected to one side of the rack body by a hinge, adjustable columns are provided on all four sides of the inside of the rack body, a set of the adjustable columns with a liquid cooling main pipe structure inside, a support plate is provided on the adjustable columns, a liquid storage tank is provided on the top of the rack body, and a booster pump is provided below one of the liquid cooling main pipe structures; The support plate is divided into two layers: the upper layer is a liquid-cooled space and the lower layer is an air-cooled space. The liquid-cooled space is equipped with a liquid-cooled coil structure, and the air-cooled space is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan exhausts downwards, and an electric switch is provided on the upper surface of the support plate.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the liquid-cooled main pipeline structure includes a main pipeline, on which several branch pipelines are provided, and self-sealing connecting pipe structures are fixedly connected to the branch pipelines. The number and position of the branch pipelines correspond to the number and position of the adjusting columns.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the self-sealing connecting pipe structure includes a fixed base, a diversion pipe fixedly connected to one side of the fixed base, a limiting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base, a movable ring slidably connected to the limiting rod, a spring fixedly connected inside the movable ring, the other end of the spring fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed base, a limiting rod fixedly provided on the inner wall of the movable ring, a sealing seat slidably connected to the limiting rod, and a spring also provided on the sealing seat. The fixed base, the movable ring, and the sealing seat form a plane in their natural state, and sealing rings are provided around the periphery of the movable ring and the sealing seat.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, both the inlet and outlet of the liquid cooling coil structure are provided with a connecting structure. The connecting structure includes a movable sleeve, and a needle is connected inside the movable sleeve via a bracket. An electric telescopic rod is fixedly provided on one side of the movable sleeve, and a control end is provided on one side of the electric telescopic rod. The control end is fixedly connected to the liquid cooling coil.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the liquid-cooled main pipeline connected to the booster pump is a circulating recovery pipeline.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the lower surface of the liquid storage tank is provided with a drain outlet, and the drain outlet is equipped with an electromagnetic valve, which is connected to the liquid cooling main pipeline structure.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the electric switch is electrically connected to the control terminal.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of the present invention are that, through the carrier plate structure, liquid heat dissipation and air cooling are integrated under the electronic components and equipment. This not only reduces the distance between the liquid cooling and the equipment, but also allows the air cooling to blow air in multiple places, thereby maximizing the speed of gas circulation. The dual heat dissipation is more effective and efficient. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example A server rack with a dual heat dissipation structure of liquid cooling and air cooling includes a cabinet 1. A door 2 is connected to one side of the cabinet 1 via a hinge. Adjustable columns 3 are provided on all four sides of the inside of the cabinet 1. A set of opposing adjustable columns 3 has a liquid cooling main pipe structure 4 inside. A support plate 5 is provided on the adjustable columns 3. A liquid storage tank 6 is provided on the top of the cabinet 1. A booster pump 7 is provided below one of the liquid cooling main pipe structures 4. The support plate 5 is divided into two layers: the upper layer is a liquid cooling space and the lower layer is an air cooling space 52. The liquid cooling space is equipped with a liquid cooling coil structure 51, and the air cooling space 52 is equipped with a cooling fan. The cooling fan has its own motor and power supply, and the power connection port is integrated into the side of the support plate 5. The exhaust direction of the cooling fan is downward. The upper surface of the support plate 5 is equipped with an electric switch 53. By connecting the support plate 5 and the adjusting column 3, the installation space can be adjusted. The air cooling and liquid cooling structures are integrated into the support plate 5 to maximize heat dissipation and maximize the liquid cooling effect and air cooling effect.

[0019] The liquid cooling main pipeline structure 4 includes a main pipeline 41, on which several branch pipelines are provided. Self-sealing connection pipe structures 42 are fixedly connected to the branch pipelines. The number and position of the branch pipelines correspond to the number and position of the adjusting columns 3. The correspondence between the position and the number facilitates the connection of the branch pipelines at different positions, ensuring that the bearing plate 5 is connected to the branch pipelines at each position.

[0020] The self-sealing connection pipe structure 42 includes a fixed seat 421. A diversion pipe is fixedly connected to one side of the fixed seat 421. A limiting rod 422 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 421. A moving ring 423 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 422. A spring 424 is fixedly connected inside the moving ring 423. The other end of the spring 424 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed seat 421. The limiting rod 422 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the moving ring 423. A sealing seat 425 is slidably connected to the limiting rod 422. A spring 424 is also provided on the sealing seat 425. The fixed seat 421, the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425 form a relative plane in their natural state. The relative plane is between the fixed seat 421, the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425. Due to the connection position of the spring 424, there will be a certain protrusion. The protrusion is small and not easy to observe. A sealing ring 426 is provided around the periphery of the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425. In its natural state, the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425 are moved towards the fixed seat 421 by the spring 424 until the fixed seat 421, the moving ring 423, and the sealing seat 425 form a sealing surface. Without external force contact, the fixed seat 421, the moving ring 423, and the sealing seat 425 remain sealed, and each gap is sealed by the sealing ring 426, ensuring no liquid leakage. The limiting rod 422 fixes the direction of movement of the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425, preventing... During the pulling process, the moving direction of the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425 changes, and they cannot return to their initial positions. One end of the spring 424 is fixed to the lower position of the inner wall surface of the fixed seat 421, and the other end is fixed to the middle position of the inner wall surface of the moving ring 423. Another spring 424 is fixed to the middle position of the inner wall surface of the moving ring 423, and the other end is fixed to the top position of the inner wall surface of the sealing seat 425. In the initial state, the three planes will have a certain degree of protrusion, which is not easy to observe, so it is called a relative plane.

[0021] The liquid cooling coil structure 51 has a connecting structure 511 for both the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet. The connecting structure 511 includes a movable sleeve 5111. The movable sleeve 5111 is connected to the needle 5112 through a bracket. An electric telescopic rod 5114 is fixedly provided on one side of the movable sleeve 5111. A control end 5113 is provided on one side of the electric telescopic rod 5114. The control end 5113 is fixedly connected to the liquid cooling coil. Under the control of the control terminal 5113, the electric telescopic rod 5114 is extended and retracted. When the electric telescopic rod 5114 is extended, the position of the control terminal 5113 remains unchanged, pushing the movable sleeve 5111 to move towards the self-sealing connection pipe structure 42 on the diversion pipe, so that the movable sleeve 5111 fits into the diversion pipe. At this time, the needle 5112 inside the movable sleeve 5111 contacts the sealing seat 425. As the movable sleeve 5111 moves, the needle 5112 will drive the sealing seat 425 to move, so that the self-sealing connection pipe structure 42 opens, and the liquid flows out from the gap between the fixed seat 421, the movable ring 423 and the sealing seat 425, and flows into the liquid cooling coil structure 51, realizing the injection of liquid into the liquid cooling coil inside the bearing plate 5.

[0022] The liquid-cooled main pipeline structure 4 connected to the booster pump 7 is a circulation recovery pipeline. During the liquid flow process, the booster pump 7 provides pressure to allow the liquid to flow back to the liquid storage tank 6, realizing the liquid circulation.

[0023] The lower surface of the liquid storage tank 6 is provided with a drain outlet, which is equipped with an electromagnetic valve. The electromagnetic valve is connected to the liquid cooling main pipeline structure 4, which facilitates the control of liquid flow through the electromagnetic valve.

[0024] The electric switch 53 is electrically connected to the control terminal 5113 to facilitate the control of the electric telescopic rod 5114.

[0025] Working principle: As shown in the figure, during use, the adjusting column 3 and the support plate 5 are connected by fixing screws. After adjusting the installation space, the electronic components and equipment are installed on top of the support plate 5, ensuring stable installation and power connection. Simultaneously, the bottom of the equipment contacts the upper surface of the support plate 5. After completion, the electric switch 53 is activated. With the electric switch 53 activated, the control terminal 5113 activates the electric telescopic rod 5114, driving the moving sleeve 5111 to move towards the self-sealing connecting pipe structure 42 on the diversion pipe, causing the moving sleeve 5111... When the 1-piece diversion pipe is connected, the needle 5112 will move the sealing seat 425, causing the self-sealing connection pipe structure 42 to open. The liquid flows out from the gap between the fixed seat 421, the moving ring 423 and the sealing seat 425 and flows into the liquid cooling coil structure 51, thus filling the liquid. After the liquid is filled, the electric switch 53 on the opposite side is activated to connect the circulation and recovery pipe. As the recovered liquid enters, the booster pump 7 provides pressure, allowing the liquid to flow back to the liquid storage tank 6, realizing the liquid circulation and achieving the liquid cooling effect. Air cooling is achieved by directly activating the cooling fan via the power switch on the side of the support plate 5.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
