Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of monitoring and metering, and in particular to a device for verifying energy efficiency of a computer room. Background Art

[0002] From a physics perspective, it refers to the ratio of the amount of energy that is used to utilize energy to the amount of energy actually consumed. From a consumer perspective, energy efficiency refers to the ratio of the services provided to end users to the total energy consumed.

[0003] To ensure stable server operation, the server room requires heat exchange equipment to transfer the heat generated by the servers. To ensure cleanliness, the air in the room is essentially internally circulated. From an environmental perspective, air conditioners used to cool the room are typically high-efficiency. However, air conditioner energy efficiency is measured under specific conditions. Due to the complexities of real-world scenarios and the constant fluctuations in server loads, standard energy efficiency values for air conditioners alone cannot truly reflect the energy efficiency of a computer room. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the above-mentioned issues, the present invention discloses a device for verifying the energy efficiency of a computer room, comprising a host computer, a first power meter for monitoring the real-time power of an air conditioner, a second power meter for monitoring the real-time power of a server, several temperature sensors for monitoring the real-time temperature of the computer room, and a communication route for communication between the host computer and the server computer. First, the host computer and the server computer communicate via the communication route, and the server's computing efficiency is calculated. The server's energy efficiency is calculated based on the server's computing power, and the heat generated by the service is further inferred. Next, the air conditioner's operating power is obtained, and the air conditioner's cooling power is calculated based on the temperature sensor and the heat generated by the service. Finally, the air conditioner's energy efficiency is calculated, and the air conditioner's real-time energy efficiency is obtained through integration / differentiation.

[0005] Further calculations require preliminary experiments to determine the average specific heat capacity of the computer room, so as to calculate the amount of heat absorbed or released by the computer room as the temperature changes.

[0006] The temperature sensor includes a bottom shell and an upper shell, each of which houses a circuit board. The circuit board is equipped with a temperature sensing unit and a radio frequency circuit. The temperature sensing unit is used to obtain the temperature of the computer room. Multiple temperature sensors facilitate calculation of the average temperature of the computer room.

[0007] The inner wall of the bottom shell is fixedly connected to a number of connecting posts, and the interior of the upper shell is fixedly connected to a number of connecting sleeves. The connecting posts pass through the circuit board and cooperate with the connecting sleeves. The connection posts and connecting sleeves not only connect the bottom shell and the upper shell, but also fix the circuit board.

[0008] The bottom of the bottom shell is fixedly connected with a magnetic ring to facilitate the placement of the temperature sensor.

[0009] The circuit board is annular and has a first contact and a second contact disposed inside. The first contact is a long arc-shaped piece, and the second contact is U-shaped with one end bent to form a bevel baffle. The first contact and the second contact are power supply contacts of the circuit board.

[0010] A button cell is mounted in the middle of the circuit board. A foam pad is placed on the top of the cell, contacting the inner wall of the upper housing. The positive electrode of the cell contacts the first contact, while the negative electrode contacts the second contact. A beveled baffle facilitates installation and prevents the cell from falling out.

[0011] Several support plates are arranged at equal angles along the inner edge of the bottom shell to support the edges of the circuit board. These plates limit the position of the circuit board and create a gap between the circuit board and the bottom shell. This gap protects the circuit board if the temperature sensor falls.

[0012] The host comprises a housing, antennas are rotatably mounted on both sides of the housing, and a plurality of connection ports are arranged on the back of the housing, that is, the host can provide wired or wireless communication.

[0013] The front of the housing is provided with a display screen, and one side of the display screen is provided with a button for displaying relevant information, which will not be described in detail here.

[0014] A switch is provided on the front side of the housing, and an electrical port is provided on the back side of the housing for powering the host.

[0015] The bottom of the housing is provided with a foot pad to improve the stability of the host.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] 1. It is equipped with a host, communication router, temperature sensor, second power meter, first power meter, etc., which can calculate the real-time energy efficiency of the computer room.

[0018] 2. The temperature sensor used has a compact structure and is equipped with a magnetic ring, which makes it easy to install inside the computer room. In addition, the wireless communication method eliminates the need for cable layout. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] First, the host 1 obtains relevant information such as CPU utilization, CPU power consumption, server computing tasks, i.e., efficiency, etc. through the communication router 2 and the server, and calculates the server energy efficiency by combining the server power consumption obtained by the second power meter 4, thereby inferring the heat generated by the server. Next, the average temperature of the computer room is obtained through the temperature sensor 3, and the cooling capacity of the air conditioner can be obtained by combining the pre-tested average specific heat capacity of the computer room with the heat generated by the server. The energy efficiency of the air conditioner can be calculated by combining the power of the air conditioner obtained by the first power meter 5. The overall energy efficiency of the computer room can be calculated by further combining the power of the air conditioner with the efficiency and power consumption of the server. In addition, the real-time energy efficiency can be obtained by using the integral / differential method.

The button battery 39 is pressed down to pass over the inclined baffle 311 to complete the installation of the battery. The upper end of the button battery 39 is provided with foam 310, which contacts the inner wall of the upper shell 32. The foam 310 is used for buffering and fixing the button battery 39.

[0037] Several support plates 35 are arranged at equal angles on the inner edge of the bottom shell 31 to support the edges of the circuit board 37 and improve the stability of the circuit board 37.
