Detailed Description of the Embodiment
[0039] The following is a further detailed description of this application in conjunction with the attached Figure 1 - attached Figure 7 drawings.
[0040] An embodiment of this application discloses a network cabinet for a data center. As Figure 1 shown, the network cabinet for a data center includes a cabinet body 1, an air supply component 2, and a heat dissipation structure 3.
[0041] As Figure 2and Figure 3 As shown, a connecting column 11 is fixedly connected inside the cabinet 1, and a plurality of mounting holes 111 are provided on the connecting column 11. The air supply assembly 2 includes a first fan 21 and a second fan 22, and the first fan 21 and the second fan 22 are respectively fixed on both sides of the cabinet 1. The first fan 21 is located at the lower side of the cabinet 1, and the second fan 22 is located at the upper side of the cabinet 1. The first fan 21 supplies air into the cabinet 1, and the second fan 22 exhausts air out of the cabinet 1. The first fan 21 and the second fan 22 form a flowing airflow inside the cabinet 1. In addition, dust covers are installed on the first fan 21 and the second fan 22 to reduce the possibility of dust entering the cabinet 1.
[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the heat dissipation structure 3 includes a heat dissipation box 31 and a heat dissipation element 32. A heat dissipation cavity 311 is provided in the heat dissipation box 31. The heat dissipation element 32 includes a first heat dissipation fin 321, a second heat dissipation fin 322, a plurality of third heat dissipation fins 323 and a third fan 324, wherein the third fan 324 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation box 31, and the third fan 324 is located at a side where the airflow flows out of the heat dissipation cavity 311, and the flow speed of the airflow in the heat dissipation cavity 311 can be enhanced by the third fan 324.
[0043] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the two ends of the third heat sink 323 are fixedly connected to the first heat sink 321 and the second heat sink 322 respectively. The first heat sink 321 is located on the outside of the heat sink box 31, and a through hole 314 is provided on the heat sink box 31 for the third heat sink 323 to pass through. The first heat sink 321 and the second heat sink 322 are arranged horizontally, which can increase the contact area with the network device, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency with the device. A plurality of third heat sinks 323 are arranged perpendicular to the first heat sink 321 and the second heat sink 322 and are arranged at intervals, so that airflow can pass through to take away heat and achieve heat dissipation.
[0044] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of support columns 312 are fixedly connected in the heat sink 31, and the support columns 312 pass through the second heat sink 322, and the second heat sink 322 can slide on the support columns 312. A first elastic member 313 is sleeved on the support column 312, and preferably, the first elastic member 313 is a spring. One end of the first elastic member 313 is fixedly connected to the second heat sink 322, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat sink 31. When the second heat sink 322 moves to contact the network device, the first elastic member 313 can be used for buffering, thereby reducing the impact force of the second heat sink 322 on the network device.
[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, fixing members 4 are fixedly connected to the periphery of the heat dissipation box 31. Among them, the fixing member 4 includes a fixing base 41, a plug pin 42, a handle 43, a limiting block 44, and a second elastic member 45. The fixing base 41 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation box 31, and the fixing base 41 forms a fixing groove 411 through which the plug pin 42 passes. One end of the plug pin 42 is fixedly connected to the handle 43, a limiting block 44 is fixedly connected to the plug pin 42, a second elastic member 45 is sleeved on the plug pin 42, one end of the second elastic member 45 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixing base 41, and the other end is fixedly connected to the limiting block 44. Both the limiting block 44 and the second elastic member 45 are located within the fixing base 41.
[0046] When it is necessary to connect the fixing member 4 to the connecting column 11, the handle 43 is pulled to drive the movement of the plug pin 42 to open the fixing groove 411. At this time, the movement of the plug pin 42 drives the movement of the limiting block 44, and the movement of the limiting block 44 compresses the second elastic member 45. The mounting hole 111 of the connecting column 11 is correspondingly placed into the fixing groove 411. After releasing the handle 43, under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic member 45, the plug pin 42 moves and inserts into the mounting hole 111, connecting the fixing member 4 to the connecting column 11.
[0047] The heat dissipation box 31 is firmly connected to the connecting column 11 through the fixing member 4, reducing the possibility of the heat dissipation box 31 loosening or falling off. At the same time, the heat dissipation box 31 can also be used to support network devices, improving the operating stability of network devices.
[0048] As Figure 4 shown in the figure, a cable management rack 5 is also fixedly connected to the heat dissipation box 31. The cable management rack 5 is used to accommodate network device connection cables, improving the neatness inside the network cabinet, reducing the possibility of network device connection cables obstructing the air flow, and further enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency of the network cabinet.
[0049] It should be noted that in the use of the network cabinet, the gap between network devices is limited. With the cooperation of the first heat sink 321, the second heat sink 322, and the third heat sink 323 in this application, the heat dissipation area of the upper and lower network devices can be increased simultaneously, improving the space utilization rate of the network cabinet. At the same time, setting the heat dissipation cavity 311 can improve the stability of the air flow contacting the heat dissipation member 32, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0050] The implementation principle of a network cabinet for a data center in an embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0051] After installing the network device on the lower side of the heat dissipation box 31, the heat dissipation box 31 is fixedly connected to the connecting column 11 by using the fixing member 4, and then the network device on the upper part of the heat dissipation box 31 is installed.
[0052] When installing the upper network device, make the upper network device abut against the first heat sink 321. At the same time, the first heat sink 321 moves, and the second heat sink 322 moves to abut against the lower network device. At this time, the heat of the network devices on the upper and lower sides of the heat dissipation box 31 can be conducted to the third heat sink 323.
[0053] When the network cabinet is working, the first fan 21 and the second fan 22 form an air flow in the cabinet body 1. Under the action of the third fan 324, the rate of the air flow flowing through the heat dissipation cavity 311 is increased. At the same time, the first heat sink 321, the second heat sink 322 and the third heat sink 323 cooperate to increase the heat dissipation area of the network device, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
[0054] The above are all the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited by this. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
