[0002] With the rapid development of big data, cloud storage and cloud computing, electronic devices such as storage arrays and servers are essential key equipment. Such electronic devices are usually composed of modules such as storage hard disk modules, backplane modules, main control modules and power modules. When the modules inside the electronic device are in working state, a large amount of heat is often generated. In order to ensure the stability of high-speed operation of the electronic device, the main control module needs to be cooled in real time. Therefore, in the prior art, a fan module is usually arranged inside the main control module to achieve efficient heat dissipation of the main control module.

[0003] However, the fan module is arranged inside the main control module, which will bring the following problems: first, when the fan inside the main control module fails, the main control module can only be unplugged for fan maintenance; second, since the fan is arranged inside the main control module, it will cause problems such as reduced mainboard PCB layout space and unsmooth PCB routing; third, when the electronic equipment is in working state, modules such as the power supply will also generate heat and also need to be cooled, but the fan arranged inside the main control module can only effectively cool the main control module and cannot meet the cooling needs of the entire machine.

[0020] (1) The utility model sets a fan component in the power module and sets a plurality of heat dissipation holes on both side walls of the U-shaped frame near the fan component, so that the fan located in the power module can realize the heat dissipation of the main control module located outside the power module, thereby avoiding the need to set the fan in the main control module and to unplug the main control module for fan maintenance when a fan malfunctions.

[0021] (2) The utility model forms a confluence space between the power supply and the fan component, and the confluence space is used to merge the air from the main control module with the air from the power supply, so that the fan component can take into account the heat dissipation of the power supply in the power module and the main control module located outside the power module.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments of the specification. A person of ordinary skill in the art will be able to implement the utility model based on these descriptions. In addition, the embodiments of the utility model involved in the following description are usually only embodiments of a part of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Therefore, based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without making creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] A power module with whole machine heat dissipation function, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, its structure:

[0035] It includes a power supply 4, a U-shaped frame 2 for carrying the power supply 4, and a cover plate 1 adapted to the U-shaped frame 2;

[0036] It also includes a wind machine component 9 disposed at one end of the power source 4 and electrically connected to the power source 4, and the other end of the power source 4 is connected to the outside world;

[0037] The two side walls of the U-shaped frame 2 are provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 22 . The plurality of heat dissipation holes 22 are arranged close to the fan component 9 and are used to circulate the air from the main control module.

[0038] The existing main control module heat dissipation is achieved by arranging a fan inside the main control module for heat dissipation, which results in the need to remove the main control module for maintenance, causing the mainboard PCB to be unsmoothly routed, and only a single module can be cooled without taking into account the heat dissipation of the entire machine. The utility model arranges a fan component 9 in the power module, and arranges heat dissipation holes 22 on both side walls of the U-shaped frame 2 near the fan component 9, so that the fan located in the power module can achieve heat dissipation of the main control module located outside the power module. The fan component 9 can take into account the heat dissipation of the main control module outside the power module and the heat dissipation of the power supply 4, which mainly depends on: the fan component 9 is arranged at one end of the power supply 4, and the other end of the power supply 4 is connected to the outside world. When the power supply 4 generates heat during operation, the fan component 9 works, which can make the heat generated by the power supply 4 flow to the fan component 9 and flow out of the U-shaped frame 2; because a plurality of heat dissipation holes 22 are arranged near the fan component 9, when the fan component 9 works, the hot air around the main control module outside the power module can flow to the fan component 9 as quickly as possible through the heat dissipation holes 22, and then be discharged outside the U-shaped frame 2.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment, a confluence space 21 is formed between the power source 4 and the fan component 9 , and the confluence space 21 is used to merge the air from the main control module with the air from the power source 4 .

[0040] The confluence space 21 formed between the power supply 4 and the fan component 9 allows the air from the main control module to merge with the air from the power supply 4, and the merged air flows to the fan component 9, and then is discharged from the U-shaped frame 2 through the fan component 9. Due to the setting of the confluence space 21, the fan component 9 can take into account the heat dissipation of the power supply 4 in the power module and the main control module located outside the power module. If the confluence space 21 is not provided, the hot air from the main control module is easy to flow through the power supply 4 and then flow to the fan component 9, which will cause the power supply 4 to be heated for a long time and reduce its life.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the aperture of the heat dissipation hole 22 is 4 mm to 10 mm. The aperture of the present embodiment can be understood as the longest diameter of the opening of the heat dissipation hole 22. For example, when the cross section of the heat dissipation hole 22 is a circle, the aperture can be understood as the diameter of the cross section circle. When the cross section of the heat dissipation hole 22 is a square, the aperture can be understood as the diagonal diameter length of the cross section square. In the present embodiment, the cross section of the heat dissipation hole 22 is a square, and the diagonal diameter length of the cross section square is 4 mm to 10 mm.

[0042] In this embodiment, the hot air from the main control module flows to the fan component 9 by flowing through a plurality of heat dissipation holes 22, rather than directly flowing the hot air from the main control module to the fan component 9 through a single large-aperture opening, which can avoid too low resistance of the hot air from the main control module to the fan component 9, and most of the air will directly flow to the fan component 9 through the single opening, thereby causing poor heat dissipation effect of the power supply 4. In this embodiment, the aperture of the heat dissipation hole 22 is 4mm~10mm, which is conducive to balancing the heat dissipation of the power supply 4 in the power module and the main control module located outside the power module.

[0043] Further preferably, a plurality of the heat dissipation holes 22 are arranged in a matrix.

[0044] Further arranging a plurality of the heat dissipation holes 22 in a matrix can maximize the utilization of the confluence space 21 and optimize the direction of the hot air from the main control module and the direction of the hot air from the power supply 4. In the working state, it can prevent the hot air from the main control module from flowing around the power supply 4 and then flowing to the fan, so that the fan structure can achieve the optimization of the heat dissipation of both the power supply 4 in the power supply module 44 and the main control module located outside the power supply module.

[0045] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, Figure 7 As shown, the fan component 9 includes a fan body 91 , a fixing bracket 92 for fixing the fan body 91 , and a buffer pad 93 arranged at the bottom of the fixing bracket 92 , and the buffer pad 93 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate of the U-shaped frame 2 .

[0046] When the fan body 91 is working, there will be shaking. By setting the buffer pad 93, the shaking of the power supply 4 and the main control module etc. caused by the fan body 91 when working can be reduced.

[0047] As a preference of this embodiment, the power module further comprises a ventilation grille 10 , and the ventilation grille 10 is arranged at the end of the U-shaped frame 2 on the side where the fan component 9 is arranged.

[0048] The two ends of the U-shaped frame 2 are connected to the outside, and a ventilation grid 10 is arranged at the end on the side where the fan component 9 is arranged, so as to prevent dust from entering the power module and affecting the working effect of the power module.

[0049] As a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, Figure 5 As shown, the power module further includes a power backplane 5, which is connected to the end of the power source 4 away from the fan component 9, and the power backplane 5 includes a backplane body 51 and ventilation holes 52 provided on the backplane body 51. The ventilation holes 52 ensure that air can flow from one end of the power source close to the backplane to the other end.

[0050] Further preferably, the power module further includes a power adapter board 6 , and the power adapter board 6 is connected to the power backplane 5 .

[0051] Further preferably, the power backplane 5 further includes a power connector 53 and a plug connector a54 provided on the backplane body 51. Figure 6 As shown, the power adapter board 6 includes an adapter board body 61 and a plug-in connector b62 and a fan adapter line 7 arranged on the adapter board body 61. The plug-in connector b62 is plug-connected to the plug-in connector a54, and the fan adapter line 7 is connected to the fan component 9.

[0052] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the power module further includes a pushing and pulling-out component 3, which is arranged at the end of the U-shaped frame 2 on the side where the wind turbine component 9 is provided. The pushing and pulling-out component 3 includes a pushing and pulling-out bracket 31, a rotating rivet 32 ​​and a hand-tightening screw 33 arranged on the pushing and pulling-out bracket 31. The pushing and pulling-out component 3 is riveted to the two side walls of the U-shaped frame 2 through the rotating rivet 32, and is connected to the cover plate 1 through the hand-tightening screw 33. During installation, the present embodiment can realize the plugging and unplugging of the power module by rotating the rivet 32, and fix it by the hand-tightening screw 33 after the power module is installed in place.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0054] (1) In this embodiment, a fan component is arranged in the power module, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are arranged on both side walls of the U-shaped frame near the fan component, so that the fan located in the power module can realize the heat dissipation of the main control module located outside the power module. This can avoid the installation of the fan in the main control module and avoid the need to unplug the main control module for fan maintenance when a fan failure occurs.

[0055] (2) In this embodiment, a confluence space is formed between the power supply and the fan component. The confluence space is used to merge the air from the main control module with the air from the power supply, so that the fan component can take into account the heat dissipation of the power supply in the power module and the main control module located outside the power module.

[0056] (3) This embodiment sets the diameter of the heat dissipation holes to 4 mm to 10 mm, and arranges a plurality of heat dissipation holes in a matrix, thereby optimizing the direction of hot air from the main control module and the direction of hot air from the power supply. In the working state, it can prevent the hot air from the main control module from flowing around the power supply and then flowing to the fan, so that the fan component can optimize the heat dissipation of both the power supply in the power module and the main control module outside the power module. At the same time, it can prevent the hot air from the main control module from easily flowing through the power supply and then flowing to the fan component, resulting in a reduction in the long-term heat life of the power supply.
