Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data center computer rooms, in particular to an alarm lighting linkage control device. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the Internet, the number of websites and network users are growing rapidly, and the number of network visits is also gradually increasing. More servers and bandwidth resources are needed to meet these needs. Therefore, more computer rooms need to be built to manage the network communication equipment set in the cabinets. Generally, in the same computer room, many rows of cabinets are placed according to certain rules, and each cabinet is equipped with multiple devices. How to quickly locate the problem cabinet is a key link in computer room management. Existing cabinet management mainly relies on remote host computer visual management alarm prompts operators to deal with it: corresponding monitors are set in the computer room, and the monitors upload the monitoring results to the host computer. The host computer manages multiple computer rooms at the same time, displays various real-time monitoring information of each computer room for decision-making, and feeds back to the cabinet according to the pre-established alarm strategy, such as the use of light combination alarm strategy. Once a computer room network disconnects from the host computer, such as broadband failure or wired LAN failure, the computer room will not receive the execution plan sent by the host computer and cannot be processed in time. Therefore, how to solve the problem that once the computer room is disconnected from the host computer, the computer room itself can also self-monitor and self-report is particularly important.

[0003] Secondly, each computer room owner has different specific management requirements for the computer room. When monitoring parameters are abnormal, the monitoring system needs to issue an alarm in time. However, sometimes the on-site operation and maintenance personnel are limited, the types and quantity of computer room equipment to be managed are large, and the on-site noise is high. When there is no mobile monitoring equipment, the computer room environment equipment status and indicators are abnormal, and it is not possible to be informed in time. It is necessary to return to the monitoring room and use the monitoring system to discover faults and hidden dangers. The management of computer room operation and maintenance has certain risks. Therefore, the needs of computer room owners are different, such as which monitoring feedback does not depend on the host computer, which monitoring feedback is managed by the host computer, which alarm uses which light combination, and which alarm uses which sound effect. Existing cabinet management solution developers need to redesign management solutions according to different needs, and the universality is poor. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to avoid the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an alarm light linkage control device.

[0027] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0028] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1-2 A warning light linkage control device is shown, comprising: a main controller, the main controller is provided with a plurality of DI signal detection interfaces and a power supply interface, the power supply interface is connected to a power supply; the DI signal detection interface is connected to a level signal of a collector through a line, and the collector is arranged in a machine room;

[0031] The main controller is connected to a plurality of DC lamp sub-controllers and AC lamp sub-controllers respectively via a serial cascade bus;

[0032] The DC lamp sub-controller is connected to a DC lamp in correspondence, and the AC lamp sub-controller is connected to an AC lamp in correspondence, and the AC lamp is connected to an AC power supply;

[0033] The DC lamp tube and the AC lamp tube can be arranged on a cabinet in a machine room, and the cabinet is provided with network communication equipment.

[0034] For example, when the access control of the machine room is opened by the operator, the level of the collector (such as the access control switch collector) in the machine room changes, and the main controller receives the level signal 1 sent by the access control switch collector through the DI signal detection interface. The main controller controls the AC light tube sub-controller to light up the AC light tube of each cabinet one by one, such as white light. Since the AC light tube used for lighting consumes a lot of power, it needs to be powered by AC power. When the operator leaves the machine room, the level signal of the access control switch collector becomes 0, and the main controller controls the AC light tube sub-controller to turn off the AC light tube of each cabinet.

[0035] For example, a communication device in cabinet No. 1 in the computer room has a high temperature abnormality, and the temperature collected by the collector (such as a temperature collector) in cabinet No. 1 is higher than the high temperature threshold, then the level of the temperature collector changes, and the main controller receives the level signal 1 sent by the temperature collector through the DI signal detection interface, and the main controller controls the DC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet No. 1 to light up one of the nodes of the corresponding DC lamp, such as flashing red light to indicate a high temperature abnormality;

[0036] When the operator arrives at cabinet No. 1 where the red light is flashing for maintenance, the level of the collector (such as a human infrared collector) installed on cabinet No. 1 changes, and the main controller receives the level signal 1 sent by the human infrared collector through the DI signal detection interface. The main controller controls the AC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet No. 1 to light up the corresponding AC lamp, such as white light.

[0037] When the operator has solved the problem of cabinet 1, the temperature collector level signal becomes 0, and the main controller controls the DC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet 1 to turn off the corresponding DC lamp. After the operator leaves cabinet 1, the human infrared collector level signal becomes 0, and the main controller controls the AC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet 1 to turn off the corresponding AC lamp.

[0038] For example, the level of the collector (such as a smoke detector) of cabinet No. 1 in the computer room changes, which means that there is smoke in the equipment within the monitoring range of the smoke detector, and a fire may occur. The main controller receives the level signal 1 sent by the smoke detector through the DI signal detection interface, and the main controller controls the AC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet No. 1 to control the corresponding AC lamp to switch between red and yellow, and / or,

[0039] The main controller controls the DC lamp corresponding to cabinet No. 1, and the sub-controller controls the corresponding DC lamp nodes to switch between red and yellow.

[0040] After the problem is solved, the level signal of the corresponding collector returns to 0, and the corresponding AC lamp and / or DC lamp is automatically turned off.

[0041] For example, if the level of the collector (such as the fire linkage signal output terminal) changes, it means that there is a fire in the place where the computer room is located. The main controller receives the level signal 1 sent by the fire linkage signal output terminal through the DI signal detection interface, and the main controller controls the corresponding AC lamps of all cabinets and the sub-controllers control the corresponding AC lamps to be always on, and / or,

[0042] The main controller controls the DC lamps corresponding to all cabinets, and the sub-controllers control the corresponding DC lamps so that they are all always on.

[0043] After the problem is solved, the level signal of the corresponding collector returns to 0, and the corresponding AC lamp and / or DC lamp is automatically turned off.

[0044] In the utility model, the collector timely collects the monitoring data in the computer room, and when an abnormality occurs, sends a level signal to the main controller to control the DC lamp and / or the AC lamp to give an alarm response in time; each lamp sub-controller is installed in a serial cascade bus, and each receives its own color data, so that the color of the lamp under each sub-controller can be different; it is convenient for the operator to accurately locate the problem cabinet, and deal with the problem of the communication equipment in the cabinet in time according to the light combination prompt; after the problem is solved, the level signal of the corresponding collector is restored, and the corresponding AC lamp and / or DC lamp is automatically turned off to save energy.

[0045] Exemplarily, the collector is provided with a DO signal output port, and the collector includes at least one of: temperature, humidity, smoke, access control status, human infrared, and fire linkage signal output collectors.

[0046] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the DC lamp sub-controller is an RGB three-color DC lamp decoding controller. Its output end is connected to the RGB three-color DC lamp, and its receiving end receives data sent from the front-end bus, extracts the data of the cabinet part and saves it, and forwards other data from the back-end bus to the next-level DC lamp sub-controller. Each DC lamp sub-controller controls the proportion of the three colors of the RGB three-color DC lamp according to the saved color data, thereby realizing the combination display effect of different colors of the DC lamp.

[0047] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the AC lamp sub-controller is a three-color lamp decoding controller. Its output end is connected to three-color AC lamps, such as white light, blue light, and red light; its receiving end receives data sent from the front-end bus, extracts data of the cabinet part and saves it, and forwards other data from the back-end bus to the next-level AC lamp sub-controller. Each AC lamp sub-controller controls the power supply of the three-color AC lamp on or off according to the saved color data, thereby realizing the combination display effect of different colors of the AC lamp, such as turning on white light when there is no alarm and someone is patrolling, and turning on red light flashing when there is an alarm.

[0048] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the DC lamp is an atmosphere lamp, and the AC lamp is a lighting lamp. Both the DC lamp sub-controller and the AC lamp sub-controller directly draw power and receive data from the bus. The DC lamp can also draw power from the bus, but the AC lamp needs to be supplied with AC power separately. Therefore, the DC lamp uses a more energy-saving atmosphere lamp / light strip, while the more energy-consuming AC lamp for lighting uses a lighting lamp that is not always on. The combination of the two designs not only solves the warning problem but also saves energy scientifically.

[0049] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the collector is also connected to a host computer, and the host computer is connected to the main controller.

[0050] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the collector and the main controller are both provided with RS485 interface or Ethernet interface, the collector is connected to the host computer via RS485 interface or Ethernet interface, and the host computer is connected to the main controller via RS485 interface or Ethernet interface; the host computer receives the data collected by the collector via RS485 or Ethernet. Generally, when the collector communicates with the host computer normally, the DI signal detection interface of the main controller stops working or the DI signal detection interface with some collection functions overlapped stops working, such as the DI signal detection interface corresponding to the temperature collector.

[0051] For example, the collector is connected to the host computer via RS485, and the host computer is connected to the main controller via RS485, so as to realize the management data interaction of single / multiple computer rooms within the local area.

[0052] For example, the collector is connected to the host computer via Ethernet, and the host computer is connected to the main controller via Ethernet, so as to realize remote data interaction of single / multi-computer room management.

[0053] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the collector also includes one or more of the voltage, current, power, and electricity consumption collectors; the temperature, humidity, smoke, access control status, human infrared, and fire linkage signal output collectors can simultaneously: 1) output level signals to the DI signal detection interface of the main controller; 2) send the collected data to the host computer. Generally, the voltage, current, power, and electricity consumption collectors only collect data and send them to the host computer.

[0054] The temperature collector is used to collect the temperature of the collection point in the computer room;

[0055] The humidity collector is used to collect the humidity at a collection point in the machine room;

[0056] The smoke detector is used to collect smoke within a certain range of the machine room;

[0057] The access control status collector is used to collect the switch status of the cabinet door or the computer room door;

[0058] The voltage, current, power and electricity consumption collector is connected to the power supply of the cabinet and is used to collect the real-time voltage, current, power and accumulated electricity consumption of the cabinet.

[0059] In the utility model, when the main controller communicates normally with the host computer, it switches to the lighting linkage control dominated by the host computer. When the main controller cannot communicate with the host computer, it switches to the local computer room lighting linkage control dominated by the main controller. Alternatively, under the premise that the main controller communicates normally with the host computer, part of the linkage control is the local computer room lighting linkage control dominated by the main controller (such as the operator entering the computer room door to turn on the AC lamp for lighting), and part of the monitoring lights are combined with the lighting linkage control dominated by the host computer (such as cabinet voltage, current, power abnormalities). The lighting interoperation control mode is flexible and changeable, and solutions are matched according to the specific needs of different owners.

[0060] Once a computer room network loses communication with the host computer, such as due to broadband failure or wired LAN failure, the computer room will not receive the execution plan sent by the host computer and will not be able to process it in time. Therefore, it is particularly important to solve the problem of self-monitoring and self-reporting in the computer room once the communication with the host computer is lost.

[0061] Exemplarily, the voltage, current, power, and power consumption collectors installed in cabinet No. 1 send the collected data to the upper computer in real time via RS485 or Ethernet. When the power of cabinet No. 1 in the computer room is higher than the set threshold, an abnormality occurs, and the upper computer issues a command to the main controller, and the main controller controls the DC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet No. 1 to light up the corresponding DC lamp. Two nodes of the DC lamp flash in red-yellow switching to indicate cabinet power abnormality;

[0062] When the operator arrives at cabinet No. 1 where the red-yellow light switches and flashes for warning to perform maintenance, the human infrared collector corresponding to cabinet No. 1 sends the collected data to the host computer in real time via RS485 or Ethernet. The host computer issues instructions to the main controller, and the main controller controls the AC lamp sub-controller corresponding to cabinet No. 1 to light up the corresponding AC lamp, such as illuminating with white light.

[0063] After the problem is solved, the corresponding DC lamp will be automatically turned off; after the operator leaves, the corresponding AC lamp will be automatically turned off.

[0064] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the main controller 1 is also connected to a loudspeaker 7 for alarm. In addition to controlling the distribution of color data to the sub-controllers, the main controller can also control the loudspeaker to realize different sound effect alarms according to preset alarm conditions. For example, when the level signal of the fire linkage signal output terminal is 1, the loudspeaker repeatedly broadcasts "The site to which the computer room belongs may be on fire, please check in time", and when the level signal of the temperature collector of cabinet No. 1 is 1, the loudspeaker repeatedly broadcasts "Cabinet No. 1 is overheated, please check in time".

[0065] Exemplarily, the main controller 1 is also connected to a touch screen 8 for setting lighting effects, sound effects and alarm thresholds.

[0066] For example, set the sound effect - volume - level I, level II, level III, set the lighting effect - DC lamp - high temperature - red / yellow (flashing).

[0067] The utility model can indicate different levels of alarms through a variety of lights of different colors and different sounds. For example, blue lights and ordinary sounds may indicate lower level alarms, while red lights and higher sounds may indicate more serious alarms. The advantage of the multi-level sound and light alarm system is that it can quickly and accurately display alarms of different levels, so that relevant personnel can take correct measures to deal with different emergencies, and can also remind relevant personnel to pay attention to safety and take necessary actions in time.
