Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of server units, and in particular to a big data server unit with heat dissipation function. Background Technology
[0002] As an integrated computing unit composed of multiple servers and auxiliary equipment, the core function of the server cluster is to provide centralized, highly reliable computing services for specific application scenarios. The main structure of the cluster includes a metal enclosure and an internal array of servers. The enclosure is a fully enclosed sheet metal structure, bolted to the server room floor. Internally, it features layered mounting racks, with servers rigidly connected to the enclosure via sliding rails. The enclosure surface is covered with galvanized steel sheets with perforated holes arranged in a honeycomb pattern to enhance airflow.
[0003] To address the heat generated by server operation, traditional solutions rely on the overall air conditioning system of the data center for temperature regulation. This solution uses a compressor to refrigerate and deliver cool air to the data center space, and then uses air convection to indirectly cool the servers.
[0004] However, it has the following mechanical defects: when a group of servers experiences a sudden increase in local temperature due to increased load, the cold air needs to first lower the temperature environment of the entire server room before being gradually conducted to the heat-generating components through the heat dissipation holes of the enclosure. This process has significant thermal resistance delay. Furthermore, there is no active airflow guiding device inside the enclosure, and the mixing of cold and hot air easily leads to temperature stratification, causing the bottom servers to be in a high-temperature state for a long time. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems in the prior art and to propose a big data server unit with heat dissipation function, which can cool the server.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this invention proposes a big data server unit with heat dissipation function, comprising: several enclosures and several servers disposed within the enclosures.
[0007] An exhaust pipe is fixedly connected inside the box, one end of which extends outside the box. An air inlet pipe is detachably connected to the exhaust pipe. A cooling and dehumidifying component is installed on the air inlet pipe. A fan is installed on one side of the cooling and dehumidifying component, and one end of the fan is connected to the cooling and dehumidifying component through a pipe.
[0008] A temperature sensor is fixedly connected inside the box, and a control component is provided on one side of the box, which is electrically connected to the temperature sensor.
[0009] The two ends of the intake pipe are slidably connected to each other with sealing plates. One end of the sealing plate is located inside the intake pipe. One of the sealing plates is elastically slidably connected to a pressure block. A pressure sensor is fixedly connected to the sealing plate and is arranged opposite to the pressure block. The pressure sensor is electrically connected to the control component. The other sealing plate is fixedly connected to a pressure block. The pressure block is arranged opposite to the pressure block. A driving component is provided on the intake pipe. The temperature sensor is driven by the control component, and the driving component is electrically connected to the control component.
[0010] Preferably, the driving component includes: a bracket, an electric push rod, a conical block, a sliding block, and a T-shaped block. The bracket is fixedly connected to one end of the intake pipe near the exhaust pipe and the housing. The sliding block is horizontally slidably connected to the bracket, and sealing plates are fixedly connected to the sliding block. The conical block is slidably connected to the bracket and is located between the sliding blocks. The T-shaped block is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conical block. The sliding block has a sliding groove for the T-shaped block to slide. The electric push rod is electrically connected to the control component.
[0011] Preferably, a flange one is fixedly connected to one end of the air intake pipe near the housing, a flange two is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the flange two, a bolt is threaded onto the rotating block, a limiting groove is provided on the flange two for the bolt to enter, and one end of the bolt can be in contact with the side wall of the flange one.
[0012] Preferably, the exhaust pipe includes a main pipe and a secondary pipe. The main pipe is square in shape, and one end of the main pipe is connected to the secondary pipe. One end of the secondary pipe extends to the outside of the housing. The main pipe is fixedly connected to the housing, and several air intake nozzles are fixedly connected to the main pipe.
[0013] Preferably, the cooling and dehumidifying component includes a transfer box that is fixedly connected to the air inlet pipe. Several fins are fixedly connected inside the transfer box, and cooling pipes are fixedly connected inside the fins. Both ends of the cooling pipes extend outside the transfer box. One end of the transfer box is connected to the fan through a pipe, and the other end is connected to the air inlet box.
[0014] Preferably, a storage box is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the transfer box, and a draining device is provided inside the storage box, with one end of the draining device...
[0015] Preferably, a drain pipe extending from one end of the storage tank to the outside of the transfer tank is passed through the bottom of the storage tank, and a manual valve is fixedly connected to the drain pipe.
[0016] Preferably, the enclosure includes a shell, a door frame 1, and a support frame. The support frame is fixedly connected inside the shell, and the server is mounted on the support frame.

[0017] Preferably, an air outlet pipe is fixedly connected through the top surface of the housing, and a solenoid valve is fixedly connected to the air outlet pipe.
[0018] The advantages of this invention compared with existing technologies are as follows:
[0019] 1. When the temperature sensor detects an abnormal temperature inside the enclosure, it will immediately trigger the controller to start the drive unit, causing the sealing plate to automatically open the air intake channel. At this time, the continuously running fan delivers airflow to the cooling and dehumidification components. The low-temperature airflow, cooled by the fins, is directed to the heat-generating area through the air intake nozzles of the exhaust pipe, forming a point-to-point cooling effect. This design completely changes the passive mode of overall cooling in traditional computer rooms, eliminates the stratification caused by the mixing of hot and cold air, and enables the bottom servers to obtain uniform cooling.
[0020] 2. When the temperature drops to the set threshold, the sealing plate closes under the action of the driving component, and the contact between the pressure block and the pressure sensor will immediately cut off the power source, significantly reducing energy consumption;
[0021] 3. The innovative design of the cooling and dehumidification components further enhances the reliability of the system. The synergistic effect of the fins and cooling pipes can not only quickly reduce the airflow temperature, but also effectively remove moisture. The condensed water is discharged centrally through the storage tank, thereby reducing the occurrence of water condensing into ice.
[0022] 4. The modular structure design allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the exhaust pipe and intake pipe via flanges, facilitating equipment handling and maintenance; the split door frame design allows for the individual removal of the protective panel of a specific server, significantly improving maintenance efficiency.

[0035] A big data server 2 unit with heat dissipation function includes: several enclosures 1 and several servers 2 installed in the enclosures 1.
[0036] The present invention includes an exhaust pipe 3 fixedly connected inside a housing 1, with one end of the exhaust pipe 3 extending outside the housing 1. An air inlet pipe 4 is detachably connected to the exhaust pipe 3, and a cooling and dehumidifying component 6 is installed on the air inlet pipe 4. A fan 5 is installed on one side of the cooling and dehumidifying component 6, and one end of the fan 5 is connected to the cooling and dehumidifying component 6 through a pipe. A temperature sensor 8 is fixedly connected inside the housing 1, and a control component 9 is installed on one side of the housing 1, electrically connected to the temperature sensor 8. Sealing plates 10 are slidably connected to both ends of the air inlet pipe 4. The end is located inside the intake pipe 4. One sealing plate 10 has a pressure block 11 elastically slidably connected to it. A pressure sensor 12, positioned opposite to the pressure block 11, is fixedly connected to the sealing plate 10. The pressure sensor 12 is electrically connected to the control component 9. Another sealing plate 10 has a pressure block 13 fixedly connected to it, positioned opposite to the pressure block 11. A drive component 14 is provided on the intake pipe 4. The temperature sensor 8 is driven by the drive component 14 via the control component 9. The drive component 14 is electrically connected to the control component 9, therefore the temperature... Temperature sensor 8 is activated. This temperature sensor 8 can sense the temperature inside the chamber 1. Once the temperature inside the chamber 1 is detected to be decreasing, temperature sensor 8 will transmit a signal to control component 9. Control component 9 will then control the sealing plates 10 to move relative to each other. When sealing plates 10 move, they will drive pressure block 13 to move, causing pressure block 11 to move and thus bring pressure block 11 into contact with pressure sensor 12. Once pressure sensor 12 senses pressure, it will transmit a signal to control component 9. The control unit 9 controls the drive unit 14 to stop running, thereby achieving the sealing of the air intake pipe 4 by the sealing plate 10, thus preventing airflow from entering the exhaust pipe 3, and further maintaining the constant temperature inside the housing 1. It is worth mentioning that the fan 5 in this invention is always on. The fan 5 is used to transmit airflow into the cooling and dehumidifying unit 6, which is used to cool and dehumidify the airflow. Once the airflow has been dehumidified and cooled, it will enter the exhaust pipe 3 through the air intake pipe 4, thereby realizing the transmission of airflow.
[0037] In this invention, the pressure block 11 is elastically connected by a spring. The spring is fixedly connected inside the sealing plate 10, and one end is fixedly connected to the pressure block 11. Therefore, the spring can reset the pressure block 11.
[0038] Specifically, the driving component 14 in this invention includes: a bracket 15, an electric push rod 16, a conical block 17, a sliding block 18, and a T-shaped block 19. The bracket 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the intake pipe 4 near the exhaust pipe 3 and the housing 1. The sliding block 18 is horizontally slidably connected to the bracket 15, and the sealing plates 10 are fixedly connected to the sliding block 18. The conical block 17 is slidably connected to the bracket 15 and is located between the sliding blocks 18. The T-shaped block 19 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conical block 17. The sliding block 18 has a sliding groove 20 for the T-shaped block 19 to slide. The electric push rod 16 is electrically connected to the control component 9. The electric push rod drives the conical block 17 to move, and the conical block 17 drives the T-shaped block 19 to slide within the sliding groove 20. Once the T-block 19 slides within the sliding groove 20, it will cause the sliding blocks 18 to move together, which in turn causes the sealing plates 10 to move together, thus applying pressure to the pressure sensor 12 by the pressure block 11. It is worth mentioning that the control component 9 in this invention is a PLC controller. After the pressure sensor 12 senses the pressure, it transmits a signal to the controller, which then controls the electrically connected electric push rod 16 to stop running, thereby sealing the air intake pipe 4. Similarly, when the temperature sensor 8 senses a drop in the temperature of the housing 1, it transmits a signal to the control component 9, which directly controls the electric push rod 16 to move, causing the sliding blocks 18 to move outwards, thereby opening the sealing plate 10 and allowing air to pass through the air intake pipe 4.
[0039] Specifically, a flange 21 is fixedly connected to one end of the intake pipe 4 near the housing 1, and a flange 22 is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe 3. A rotating block 23 is rotatably connected to the flange 22, and a bolt 24 is threaded onto the rotating block 23. A limiting groove 25 is provided on the flange 22 for the bolt 24 to enter. One end of the bolt 24 can be attached to the side wall of the flange 21. When the housing 1 needs to be moved, the personnel can tighten the bolt 24 and disengage it from the flange 22. At this time, the personnel can separate the intake pipe 4 from the exhaust pipe 3, thereby avoiding the connection between the exhaust pipe 3 and the intake pipe 4 when the housing 1 is being moved, which would hinder the personnel from moving the housing.
[0040] Specifically, the exhaust pipe 3 includes a main pipe 26 and a secondary pipe 27. The main pipe 26 is square in shape, and one end of the main pipe 26 is connected to the secondary pipe 27. One end of the secondary pipe 27 extends to the outside of the housing 1. The main pipe 26 is fixedly connected to the inside of the housing 1, and several air intake nozzles 28 are fixedly connected to the main pipe 26. The secondary pipe 27 is connected to the air intake pipe 4. Airflow is transmitted through the air intake pipe 4 into the secondary pipe 27, and airflow is transmitted through the secondary pipe 27 into the main pipe 26. The airflow is then transmitted through the main pipe 26 and discharged into the inside of the housing 1 through the air intake nozzles 28, thereby achieving cooling of the inside of the housing 1.
[0041] Specifically, the cooling and dehumidifying component 6 includes a transfer box 29 fixedly connected to the air intake pipe 4. Several fins 30 are fixedly connected inside the transfer box 29, and cooling pipes 31 are fixedly connected inside the fins 30. Both ends of the cooling pipes 31 extend outside the transfer box 29. A storage tank 32 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the transfer box 29. A drain component 33 is provided inside the storage tank 32. One end of the drain component 33 and the bottom of the storage tank 32 have a drain pipe 34 extending to the outside of the transfer box 29. A manual valve 35 is fixedly connected to the drain pipe 34. One end of the transfer box 29 is connected to the air intake pipe. The fan 5 is connected to the air intake box at one end via a pipe. Therefore, the airflow transmitted by the fan 5 enters the transfer box 29, and the coolant enters the cooling pipe 31. After the coolant cools the cooling pipe 31, it transfers the temperature to the fins 30, which in turn cool the airflow. After the airflow is cooled, the water molecules in the airflow condense into water and enter the storage tank 32, thus storing the water in the storage tank 32. When the water needs to be discharged, the manual valve 35 is opened, and the water is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 34, thereby realizing the discharge of water.
[0042] Specifically, the enclosure 1 includes a shell 36, a door frame 37, and a support frame 38. The support frame 38 is fixedly connected inside the shell 36, and the server 2 is mounted on the support frame 38. The door frame 37 is sway-connected to the shell 36, and one end is snap-fitted to the shell 36. Several door frames 41 are sway-connected to the door frame 37, and the door frames 41 correspond to the position of the server 2. One end of the door frames 41 is snap-fitted to the door frame 37. An exhaust pipe 39 is fixedly connected through the top surface of the enclosure 1, and a solenoid valve 40 is fixedly connected to the exhaust pipe 39. When the server 2 needs to be replaced, personnel can open the door frame 37 or the door frame 41 to replace or maintain the server 2.
[0043] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When the temperature sensor 8 detects an increase in the temperature inside the housing 1, it triggers the control unit 9 to activate the drive unit 14. The drive unit 14 pushes the conical block 17 to move via an electric push rod. The conical block 17 drives the T-shaped block 19 to slide within the sliding groove 20 of the sliding block 18, causing the sliding blocks 18 to converge. This, in turn, moves the sealing plate 10 to open the air intake pipe 4. At this time, the fan 5 continues to operate, delivering airflow to the cooling and dehumidifying unit 6. After being cooled by the fins 30, the airflow enters the exhaust pipe 3 and cools the inside of the housing 1 through the air intake nozzle 28 of the main pipe 26. When the temperature sensor 8 detects a decrease in temperature, the control unit 9 reverses the electric push rod, causing the sliding blocks 18 to move closer together, thus closing the air intake pipe 4 via the sealing plate 10. During the closing process of the sealing plate 10, the second pressure block 13 pushes the first pressure block 11 to compress the spring, causing the first pressure block 11 to contact the pressure sensor 12. The pressure sensor 12 transmits a signal to the control unit 9, which stops the operation of the drive unit 14, thereby maintaining a constant temperature inside the housing 1. The fins 30 in the cooling and dehumidifying unit 6 are cooled by the coolant in the cooling pipe 31, causing water molecules in the airflow to condense into water and be stored in the storage tank 32. When needed, the water is discharged through the drain pipe 34.
[0044] The above embodiments are illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any simple modifications to the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
