Therefore, the terms describing the positional relationship in the drawings are only used for illustrative purposes and cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0026] The implementation of the present invention is described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] In this embodiment:

[0028] Reference Figure 1-3 As shown, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is provided.

[0029] A server chassis and server of the present embodiment include a chassis 1, an outlet fan 5 is provided at the top of the chassis 1, an inlet fan 4 is provided on one side of the chassis 1, and a filter 6 that can block and filter dust in the air entering the chassis 1 is provided on the side of the outer surface of the chassis 1 close to the inlet fan 4 and the outlet fan 5. The outer surface of the chassis 1 is provided with a protective device 2 that can protect one side of the filter 6 according to the heat dissipation requirements of the interior of the chassis 1 with the help of a convenient device 3. When the server inside the chassis 1 is running, the inlet fan 4 is operated to suck air from the environment into the interior of the chassis 1, and the hot air inside the chassis 1 is drawn out of the chassis 1 through the outlet fan 5 at the top of the chassis 1 to dissipate heat inside the chassis 1, and the dust in the air entering the interior of the chassis 1 is blocked and filtered by the filter 6.

[0030] Reference Figure 2-4 As shown, the protective device 2 includes a groove ring 23, the inner wall of the groove ring 23 is rotatably connected to two rotating shafts 24, the outer surfaces of the two rotating shafts 24 are respectively fixedly connected with cover plates 25, the top ends of the two rotating shafts 24 are fixedly connected with gears 26, the outer surfaces of the two gears 26 are meshed, and a motor 22 is provided on the side of the outer surface of the box body 1 close to the inlet fan 4, the output end of the motor 22 is plugged into the top end of a gear 26, and a temperature sensor 21 is provided inside the box body 1. By providing the cover plate 25, when using the server, the protective device 2 is installed on the side of the inlet fan 4 on the outer surface of the box body 1 with the help of the convenient device 3. When the server is running inside the box body 1, the inlet fan 4 is operated to suck air from the environment into the inside of the box body 1, and the hot air inside the box body 1 is extracted out of the box body 1 through the outlet fan 5 at the top end of the box body 1 to dissipate heat inside the box body 1, and the air entering the box body 1 is filtered through the filter 6. The dust in the internal air is blocked and filtered, and the temperature inside the box 1 is detected by the temperature sensor 21 inside the box 1. If the temperature inside the box 1 is low, the motor 22 can be operated to drive the two gears 26 to rotate in opposite directions, drive the shaft and the cover plate 25 to rotate, and make the two cover plates 25 move away from each other, and fit one side against the inner wall of the groove ring 23, close one side of the groove ring 23, and close one side of the inlet fan 4. The inside of the box 1 is only dissipated by the outlet fan 5, reducing the probability of dust being brought into the inside of the box 1 when the inlet fan 4 draws air into the inside of the box 1. When the temperature sensor 21 detects that the temperature inside the box 1 is high, the motor 22 is operated to drive the two gears 26 to rotate in the same direction, drive the two cover plates 25 closer to each other, open one side of the groove ring 23, and allow air to enter the inside of the box 1 normally through the inlet fan 4.

[0031] Among them, reference Figure 2-5 As shown, a sealing sheet 28 is fixedly connected to one end of the cover plate 25. The sealing sheet 28 is made of rubber material. When the two cover plates 25 close one side of the groove ring 23, the rubber sealing sheets 28 at one end will fit together to further seal the gap between the two cover plates 25.

[0032] And, refer to Figure 2-5 As shown, the outer surface of the groove ring 23 is provided with an auxiliary component 27, which includes two arc-shaped rods 272. The upper and lower ends of the arc-shaped rods 272 are fixedly connected to round rods 273 respectively. Arc-shaped grooves 271 are opened on both sides of the groove ring 23. The arc-shaped rods 272 are located inside the arc-shaped grooves 271. The outer surface of the groove ring 23 is fixedly connected to a plurality of rectangular blocks 274. The outer surface of the round rod 273 slides on the inner wall of the rectangular block 274. The outer surface of the round rod 273 is provided with a spring 275. The two ends of the spring 275 are fixedly connected to one side of the rectangular block 274 and one side of the round rod 273 respectively. A stopper 277 is fixedly connected to one side of the arc rod 272. A protrusion 276 is fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate 25. When the cover plate 25 turns to the arc groove 271, the protrusion 276 on the outer surface will contact one side of the stopper 277 on the outer surface of the arc rod 272. When the cover plate 25 continues to move to close one side of the groove ring 23, the protrusion 276 will push the stopper 277 to control the arc rod 272 to move away from the arc. The round rod 273 slides on the inner wall of the rectangular block 274 and compresses the spring 275. The inlet fan 4 can inhale a small amount of air through the arc grooves 271 on both sides of the groove ring 23 to dissipate heat inside the chassis, so that one side of the inlet fan 4 will not be completely closed. When the inlet fan 4 is closed, a small amount of air intake is provided to the inside of the chassis. When the cover 25 is opened, the protrusion 276 moves away from the stopper 277, and the spring 275 on the outer surface of the round rod 273 returns to its original state, pushing the round rod 273 and the arc-shaped rod 272 return to their original positions, and the arc-shaped groove 271 is closed by the arc-shaped rod 272 to avoid as much as possible that dust is brought into the arc-shaped groove 271 when the inlet fan 4 is working. One side edge of the protrusion 276 is arc-shaped, and one side edge of the stopper 277 is arc-shaped. By setting the one side edge of the protrusion 276 and the stopper 277 to be arc-shaped, it is easier to push the stopper 277 and the arc-shaped rod 272 to move when the protrusion 276 contacts the outer surface of the stopper 277, and it is not easy to get stuck.

[0033] Further, refer to Figure 1-5As shown, in this embodiment: the convenient device 3 includes a plurality of L-shaped rods 31, one end of the L-shaped rod 31 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the groove ring 23, the outer surface of the L-shaped rod 31 is provided with a through hole 32, the inner wall of the through hole 32 is slidably inserted with a bolt 33, and two threaded holes 34 are respectively provided on both sides of the outer surface of the box body 1. The outer surface of the bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole 34. When installing the protective device 2, each L-shaped rod 31 and one side of the groove ring 23 are attached to the side of the box body 1 where the inlet fan 4 is provided, and the groove ring 23 is pushed to make one side The top end of each gear 26 is plugged into the output end of the motor 22, and the through holes 32 on the outer surface of each L-shaped rod 31 are aligned with the threaded holes 34 on the outer surface of the box body 1. Bolts 33 are passed through the through holes 32 and inserted into the threaded holes 34. The bolts 33 are turned to threadably connect with the inner walls of the threaded holes 34. The L-shaped rod 31 and the groove ring 23 can be installed on the outer surface of the box body 1. By turning the bolts 33 out of the threaded holes 34, the L-shaped rod 31 and the groove ring 23 can be disassembled to clean one side of the filter screen 6, thereby improving the convenience of using the protective device 2.

[0034] Working principle: When using the server, fit one side of each L-shaped rod 31 and the groove ring 23 to the side of the box body 1 where the air intake fan 4 is provided. Push the groove ring 23 so that the top of a gear 26 is plugged into the output end of the motor 22. Align the through-holes 32 on the outer surface of each L-shaped rod 31 with the threaded holes 34 on the outer surface of the box body 1. Use bolts 33 to pass through the through-holes 32 and insert them into the threaded holes 34. Then turn the bolts 33 to thread the inner walls of the threaded holes 34 and install the L-shaped rods 31 and the groove ring 23 on the outer surface of the box body 1. When the server is running inside the box body 1, the air intake fan 4 is operated to draw air from the environment into the box body 1. Inside, the hot air inside the box 1 is drawn out of the box 1 through the exhaust fan 5 at the top of the box 1 to dissipate heat inside the box 1, and the dust in the air entering the box 1 is blocked and filtered through the filter 6. The temperature inside the box 1 is monitored by the temperature sensor 21 inside the box 1. If the temperature inside the box 1 is low, the motor 22 can be operated to drive the two gears 26 to rotate in opposite directions, driving the shaft and the cover plate 25 to rotate, so that the two cover plates 25 are separated from each other, and one side is attached to the inner wall of the groove ring 23, closing one side of the groove ring 23, closing one side of the inlet fan 4, and the cover plate 25 is closed. When turning to the arc groove 271, the protrusion 276 on the outer surface will contact one side of the stopper 277 on the outer surface of the arc rod 272. When the cover plate 25 continues to move to close one side of the groove ring 23, the protrusion 276 will push the stopper 277 to control the arc rod 272 to move away from the inside of the arc groove 271. At the same time, the round rod 273 will slide on the inner wall of the rectangular block 274 and compress the spring 275. The intake fan 4 can inhale a small amount of air through the arc grooves 271 on both sides of the groove ring 23 to dissipate heat inside the chassis, so that one side of the intake fan 4 will not be completely closed. Closing one side of the intake fan 4 will provide a small amount of air intake for the inside of the chassis. To reduce the probability of dust being brought into the interior of the box 1 when the inlet fan 4 draws air into the interior of the box 1, when the temperature sensor 21 detects that the temperature inside the box 1 is high, the operating motor 22 drives the two gears 26 to rotate in the same direction, driving the two cover plates 25 closer to each other, opening one side of the groove ring 23, so that air can normally enter the interior of the box 1 through the inlet fan 4. When the cover plate 25 is opened, the protrusion 276 moves away from the stop block 277, and the spring 275 on the outer surface of the round rod 273 returns to its original state, which will push the round rod 273 and the arc rod 272 to return to their original position, and the arc groove 271 is closed by the arc rod 272.

[0035] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
