Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of server technology, and in particular to a server cabinet. Background Art
[0002] In the modern information technology sector, especially in data centers and high-performance computing centers, high-density servers are increasingly used to meet the ever-increasing demand for data processing. However, as server integration increases, the heat generated also increases, placing even more stringent demands on cooling technology. Traditional air cooling methods are increasingly unable to meet the demand for efficient heat dissipation under high heat loads. Therefore, liquid cooling technology has emerged as a key solution to the heat dissipation problem of high-density servers.
[0003] Current liquid cooling systems are inefficient when handling the high heat generation of high-density servers. This is especially true when the system load fluctuates significantly, resulting in unstable cooling and difficulty in effectively controlling server temperatures, impacting server performance and lifespan. Furthermore, existing liquid cooling methods lack effective monitoring and automated refill mechanisms for coolant levels. Once the coolant level decreases due to evaporation or other factors, the system's cooling capacity decreases. Failure to refill the system promptly can lead to cooling failure, threatening server operational safety. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a server cabinet, including a cabinet, on which a heat dissipation module is provided, the heat dissipation module including: a plurality of heat dissipation bodies, all of which are provided in the cabinet, a heat dissipation space being formed between two adjacent heat dissipation bodies, the heat dissipation space being used for installing the server, the heat dissipation bodies being used for storing a phase change medium so as to dissipate heat from the server through the phase change medium; a condenser, provided on the cabinet, the heat dissipation body having a medium inlet and a medium outlet, the medium inlet being connected to the outlet of the condenser, and the medium outlet being connected to the inlet of the condenser; a control valve, the control valve being provided on a pipe between the condenser outlet and the medium inlet; a liquid level sensor, provided in the heat dissipation body; a controller, connected to the control valve, so that when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level of the phase change medium in the heat dissipation body is lower than a set value, the controller controls the control valve to open through the controller, so that the phase change medium condensed by the condenser is transported to the heat dissipation body.
[0006] Furthermore, a limit seat is provided on each heat dissipation body respectively, and the server cabinet also includes a plug-in structure used in conjunction with the limit seat. The plug-in structure has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the plug-in structure is in the locked state, the plug-in end of the plug-in structure extends into two adjacent limit seats to fix the server between the two adjacent heat dissipation bodies. When the plug-in structure is in the unlocked state, the server is taken out from between the two adjacent heat dissipation bodies.
[0007] Furthermore, the plug-in structure includes a plug-in body, and a first plug-in part and a second plug-in part that are movably arranged relative to the plug-in body. When the plug-in structure is in a locked state, the first plug-in part and the second plug-in part move away from each other, and when the plug-in structure is in an unlocked state, the first plug-in part and the second plug-in part move toward each other.
[0008] Furthermore, the plug-in structure further includes an elastic element, both ends of which are respectively connected to the first plug-in portion and the second plug-in portion, so that the plug-in structure switches from an unlocked state to a locked state.
[0009] Furthermore, the server cabinet also includes a cleaning structure arranged on the cabinet to clean the condenser, the cleaning structure including: a supporting body arranged on the cabinet, and a cleaning body movably arranged relative to the supporting body, the free end of the cleaning body is provided with a cleaning member, the cleaning end of the cleaning member contacts at least part of the upper surface of the condenser so that the upper surface of the condenser is cleaned under the drive of the cleaning body.
[0010] Furthermore, the cleaning structure also includes a dust suction structure, which includes an adsorption member arranged on the cleaning member, and the adsorption member has a dust suction port, which faces the upper surface of the condenser so that while the cleaning member cleans the upper surface of the condenser, it adsorbs dust generated when the cleaning structure cleans the upper surface of the condenser.
[0011] Furthermore, the dust suction structure also includes a dust suction pipe and an air extraction component. One end of the dust suction pipe is connected to the adsorption component, and the end of the dust suction pipe away from the adsorption component is connected to the air extraction component to generate suction to adsorb dust.
[0012] Furthermore, the server cabinet further includes a plurality of accommodating structures arranged on the cabinet, each accommodating structure is movably arranged relative to the cabinet, and the accommodating structure has an accommodating space for storing items.
[0013] Furthermore, the server cabinet also includes an alarm component and a smoke detection component arranged in the cabinet and connected to the controller, so that when there is smoke in the cabinet, the controller controls the alarm component to alarm.
[0014] Furthermore, the server cabinet also includes an anti-slip structure, which is arranged on the bottom wall of the cabinet away from the condenser. The anti-slip structure includes a support column, and the anti-slip structure also includes an anti-slip component arranged on the side of the support column away from the cabinet.
[0015] Through this application, a heat dissipation module including multiple heat dissipation bodies is adopted, and each heat dissipation body stores phase change medium inside, which can quickly absorb and convert a large amount of heat emitted by the server when the server is running. Through the transformation of the phase change medium from liquid to gas, the rapid dissipation of heat is effectively achieved, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the server cabinet.
[0016] Through the circulation connection between the condenser designed in this application and the heat dissipation body, the condenser can cool the gaseous phase change medium and re-liquefy it, returning it to the interior of the heat dissipation body, thereby completing the recycling of the phase change medium, which not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also reduces the loss of the heat dissipation medium and reduces the cost of long-term operation.
[0017] Through the control valve and liquid level sensor set up in this application, since a liquid level sensor is configured in the phase change medium circulation loop to monitor the liquid level inside the heat dissipation body, once the phase change medium liquid level is lower than the preset safety value, the controller can automatically open the control valve, prompting the condensed phase change medium to flow from the condenser to the heat dissipation body, ensuring the continuous and effective working state of the heat dissipation system and avoiding the decline in heat dissipation efficiency due to insufficient phase change medium.
[0018] Since the controller can automatically adjust the state of the control valve according to the information fed back by the liquid level sensor, it realizes the automatic control of the phase change medium circulation and ensures the stable operation of the server cabinet cooling system.

[0032] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.
[0033] In the modern information technology sector, especially in data centers and high-performance computing centers, high-density servers are increasingly used to meet the ever-increasing demand for data processing. However, as server integration increases, the heat generated also increases, placing even more stringent demands on cooling technology. Traditional air cooling methods are increasingly unable to meet the demand for efficient heat dissipation under high heat loads. Therefore, liquid cooling technology has emerged as a key solution to the heat dissipation problem of high-density servers.
[0034] Current liquid cooling systems are inefficient when handling the high heat generation of high-density servers. This is especially true when the system load fluctuates significantly, resulting in unstable cooling and difficulty in effectively controlling server temperatures, impacting server performance and lifespan. Furthermore, existing liquid cooling methods lack effective monitoring and automated refill mechanisms for coolant levels. Once the coolant level decreases due to evaporation or other factors, the system's cooling capacity decreases. Failure to refill the system promptly can lead to cooling failure, threatening server operational safety.
[0035] Therefore, the purpose of this application is to address the above problems and provide a server cabinet, including a cabinet 1, on which a heat dissipation module 2 is provided, and the heat dissipation module 2 includes:
[0036] Multiple heat dissipation bodies 201 are arranged in the cabinet 1. A heat dissipation space is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201. The heat dissipation space is used to install the server 3. The heat dissipation body 201 is used to store phase change medium to dissipate heat from the server 3 through the phase change medium.
[0037] The condenser 4 is provided on the cabinet 1 , and the heat dissipation body 201 has a medium inlet and a medium outlet, the medium inlet is communicated with the outlet of the condenser 4 , and the medium outlet is connected to the inlet of the condenser 4 ;
[0038] Control valve 5, which is arranged on the pipeline between the outlet of condenser 4 and the medium inlet;
[0039] The liquid level sensor 7 is arranged in the heat dissipation body 201;
[0040] The controller 6 is connected to the control valve 5 so that when the liquid level sensor 7 detects that the liquid level of the phase change medium in the heat dissipation body 201 is lower than the set value, the controller 6 controls the control valve 5 to open so that the phase change medium condensed by the condenser 4 is transported into the heat dissipation body 201.
[0041] Specifically, if Figure 1As shown, the server cabinet provided in the present application includes a cabinet 1, two supporting plates 100 are arranged in the cabinet 1, and multiple heat dissipation modules 2 are arranged on the supporting plates 100. Each heat dissipation module 2 includes a heat dissipation body 201, and the heat dissipation body 201 stores a phase change medium. A heat dissipation space is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201. The server is installed in the heat dissipation space and contacts the adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201 to dissipate heat to the server 3 in the heat dissipation space through the phase change medium in the heat dissipation body 201. A mounting bracket 16 is provided on the cabinet 1, and the mounting bracket 16 is fixed to the cabinet 1 by bolts. The condenser 4 is fixed on the mounting bracket 16. The main body 201 has a medium inlet and a medium outlet, wherein the medium inlet is connected to the outlet of the condenser 4, and the medium outlet is connected to the inlet of the condenser 4. A control valve 5 is provided on the pipeline between the outlet of the condenser 4 and the medium inlet. A liquid level sensor 7 is also provided in the heat dissipation main body 201 for detecting the liquid level of the phase change medium in the heat dissipation main body 201. It also includes a controller 6 connected to the control valve 5, so that when the liquid level sensor 7 detects that the liquid level of the phase change medium in the heat dissipation main body 201 is lower than the set value, the control valve 5 is controlled by the controller 6 to open, so as to transport the phase change medium after condensation by the condenser 4 to the heat dissipation main body 201, so that the heat dissipation main body 201 can continue to dissipate heat for the server 3.
[0042] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the medium outlet of the heat dissipation body 201 is connected to the air outlet pipe 18, the other end of the air outlet pipe 18 is connected to the first branch pipe 19, the other end of the first branch pipe 19 is connected to the connecting pipe 20, the other end of the connecting pipe 20 is connected to the inlet of the condenser 4, the outlet of the condenser 4 is connected to the delivery pipe 21, the other end of the delivery pipe 21 is connected to the second branch pipe 22, the other end of the second branch pipe 22 is connected to the connecting pipe 23, the other end of the connecting pipe 23 is connected to the medium inlet, and a return pipe 24 is also provided on the heat dissipation body 201, and a control valve 5 is provided on the return pipe 24, and the other end of the return pipe 24 is connected to the connecting pipe 23.
[0043] A support frame 25 is also provided on the cabinet body, and two support bars 26 are provided on the support frame 25. A rotating rod 27 is provided between the two support bars 26. A plurality of first bevel gears 28 are provided on the rotating rod 27. The plurality of first bevel gears 28 are arranged along the extension direction of the rotating rod 27. Each first bevel gear 28 is respectively engaged with a second bevel gear 29. It also includes a plurality of fans 30, each of which is provided with a connecting shaft, which is connected to the corresponding second bevel gear 29, and also includes a drive motor 31 driven by the rotating rod 27. The drive motor 31 is fixed on one of the support bars 26. When the drive motor 31 is working, it can drive the rotating rod 27 to rotate. When the rotating rod 27 rotates, the first bevel gear 28 will also rotate synchronously. At the same time, the second bevel gear 29 will also rotate, thereby transmitting power to the corresponding fan through the connecting shaft, thereby driving multiple fans to rotate at the same time to assist in cooling the server.
[0044] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple heat sinks 201 are arranged within the cabinet 1 via a support plate 100. Each heat sink 201 stores a phase-change medium. Due to its high latent heat absorption capacity during phase change, the phase-change medium can quickly and effectively absorb the heat generated by the servers 3 during operation. When a server 3 is placed in the heat dissipation space formed by adjacent heat sinks 201 and in contact with them, its heat is rapidly absorbed by the phase-change medium. During the phase change, the medium transforms from liquid to gas, converting the heat into latent heat, achieving efficient heat dissipation.
[0045] like Figures 3 to 5 The piping assembly described in the figure, including the outlet pipe 18, first branch pipe 19, connecting pipe 20, delivery pipe 21, second branch pipe 22, connecting pipe 23, and return pipe 24, forms a complete heat dissipation cycle. The gaseous phase-change medium enters the condenser 4 through the outlet pipe 18, first branch pipe 19, and connecting pipe 20, where it cools and re-liquefies, releasing stored heat. The liquid medium then flows back through the delivery pipe 21, second branch pipe 22, and connecting pipe 23 to the medium inlet of the heat dissipation body 201, continuing the heat exchange process.
[0046] When liquid level sensor 7 detects that the phase-change medium level within heat sink 201 is below a preset value, controller 6 immediately responds by automatically opening control valve 5 on return pipe 24, encouraging the liquid medium to flow back from condenser 4 into heat sink 201, ensuring uninterrupted circulation within the heat dissipation system. By replenishing the phase-change medium promptly, sufficient medium is maintained within heat sink 201, preventing a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency.
[0047] Furthermore, a limit seat 8 is respectively provided on each heat dissipation body 201, and the server cabinet also includes a plug-in structure 9 used in conjunction with the limit seat 8. The plug-in structure 9 has a locked state and an unlocked state. When the plug-in structure 9 is in the locked state, the plug-in end of the plug-in structure 9 extends into two adjacent limit seats 8 to fix the server 3 between the two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201. When the plug-in structure 9 is in the unlocked state, the server 3 is taken out from between the two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201.
[0048] A limiting hole 801 for accommodating the plug-in end of the plug-in structure 9 is defined in the limiting seat 8 .
[0049] Each heat sink 201 is provided with a retaining seat 8, which includes a retaining hole 801 specifically designed to accommodate the plug-in end of the plug-in structure 9. This design provides a precise positioning reference, ensuring accurate and seamless placement of the plug-in end in the predetermined position between the heat sinks 201 during installation. When the plug-in structure 9 is locked, its plug-in end extends into the retaining holes 801 of two adjacent retaining seats 8. This physical restraint firmly secures the server 3 between the two heat sinks 201, preventing displacement of the server due to vibration or external impact, and ensuring stable and safe operation.
[0050] The plug-in structure 9 has two states: locked and unlocked. When it is in the unlocked state, the operator can easily withdraw the plug-in end from the limiting hole 801, and then conveniently remove the server 3 from between two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201.
[0051] The combined design of the limiting seat 8 and the plug-in structure 9 allows the server 3 to be flexibly installed between different heat dissipation bodies 201, and can be quickly positioned and fixed without special tools or complicated adjustments.
[0052] Furthermore, the plug-in structure 9 includes a plug-in body 901, and a first plug-in portion 902 and a second plug-in portion 903 that are movably arranged relative to the plug-in body 901. When the plug-in structure 9 is in a locked state, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 move away from each other, and when the plug-in structure 9 is in an unlocked state, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 move toward each other.
[0053] Furthermore, the plug-in structure 9 further includes an elastic element 904 , both ends of which are connected to the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 , respectively, so that the plug-in structure 9 switches from an unlocked state to a locked state.
[0054] Specifically, if Figure 6As shown, the limit seat 8 is arranged on the side wall of each heat dissipation body 201, the plug-in structure 9 includes a plug-in body 901, and the plug-in body 901 is provided with a plug-in slot. The extension direction of the plug-in slot is consistent with the extension direction of the plug-in body 901. The plug-in structure 9 also includes a first plug-in portion 902 and a second plug-in portion 903 movably arranged in the plug-in slot. The first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 can both move relative to the plug-in slot. When the plug-in structure 9 is in a locked state, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 move in a direction away from each other. When the plug-in structure 9 is in an unlocked state, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 move in a direction away from each other. The connecting portion 902 and the second connecting portion 903 move in a direction close to each other, the plug structure 9 further includes an elastic element 904, which is a spring in this embodiment. The plug structure 9 further includes two plug-in pieces 905, at least part of which is arranged in the plug-in slot, and the part of the plug-in piece 905 in the plug-in slot is respectively connected to the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903. At the same time, at least part of the elastic element 904 is arranged in the plug-in slot, and the two ends of the elastic element 904 are respectively connected to the part of the two plug-in pieces 905 in the plug-in slot. A blocking block 906 is also provided. When the plug-in structure 9 is in a locked state, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 move in a direction away from each other until the plug-in piece 905 abuts against the corresponding blocking block 906. At this time, the plug-in structure 9 is in a locked state, and the server 3 is fixed between two adjacent heat dissipation bodies 201. When in use, when the server 3 needs to be disassembled, the two plug-in pieces 905 are moved in a direction close to each other, and the elastic element 904 is compressed. Driven by the plug-in piece 905, the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 are simultaneously moved in a direction close to each other. When the server 3 is installed in the heat dissipation space and needs to be fixed, the plug-in ends of the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 are respectively aligned with the corresponding limit seats 8, and then the two plug-in pieces 905 are released, so that the first plug-in portion 902 and the second plug-in portion 903 gradually move away from each other under the action of the elastic element 904, and are inserted into the corresponding limit seats 8 until the two plug-in pieces 905 are away from each other and abut against the blocking block 906, completing the installation.
[0055] like Figure 6As shown, the retaining seat 8 is mounted on the sidewall of each heat sink 201, and the plug-in structure 9 comprises a plug-in body 901, a first plug-in portion 902, a second plug-in portion 903, and an elastic element 904 (spring). When installing the server 3, the operator simply aligns the plugging ends of the first and second plug-in portions 902, 903 with the retaining seat 8 and releases the two plug-in tabs 905. Under the action of the elastic element 904 (spring), the first and second plug-in portions 902, 903 automatically move away from each other and insert into the retaining seat 8 until the plug-in tabs 905 abut against the blocking block 906, thereby securely securing the server 3 between two adjacent heat sinks 201.
[0056] To disassemble server 3, the operator simply pushes the two plug-in plates 905 toward each other. This compresses elastic element 904 (spring). Driven by plug-in plates 905, first and second plug-in portions 902, 903 simultaneously move toward each other, gradually disengaging from retaining seat 8. This causes plug-in structure 9 to switch from a locked state to an unlocked state. Server 3 can then be easily removed from the heat dissipation space.
[0057] The combined use of retaining seat 8 and plug-in structure 9 ensures precise positioning and secure fixation of server 3 within the heat dissipation space. The elastic force of elastic element 904 not only provides automatic fixation but also prevents accidental unlocking of plug-in structure 9 in the absence of external force, enhancing the security of server 3's securement. Furthermore, the simplified unlocking process makes disassembly of server 3 extremely quick, significantly reducing the time and labor costs required for server maintenance and upgrades.
[0058] Furthermore, the server cabinet also includes a cleaning structure 10 arranged on the cabinet 1 to clean the condenser 4. The cleaning structure 10 includes: a supporting body 101 arranged on the cabinet 1, and a cleaning body 102 movably arranged relative to the supporting body 101. The free end of the cleaning body 102 is provided with a cleaning member 103, and the cleaning end of the cleaning member 103 is in contact with at least part of the upper surface of the condenser 4, so that the upper surface of the condenser 4 is cleaned under the drive of the cleaning body 102.
[0059] Specifically, the server cabinet also includes a cleaning structure 10 for cleaning the dust on the condenser 4. The cleaning structure 10 includes a supporting body 101 provided on the cabinet 1. The supporting body 101 includes a first supporting sheet 1011 connected to the top of the cabinet 1 using bolts. Two second supporting sheets 1012 are provided on the first supporting sheet 1011. The extension direction of the second supporting sheet 1012 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the first supporting sheet 1011. The cleaning structure 10 also includes a cleaning body 102. The cleaning body 102 also includes a frame 1021. The frame 1021 is provided on the side of the two second supporting sheets 1012 away from the first supporting sheet 1011. The cleaning body 102 also includes a cleaning body 102. A threaded rod 1022 is enclosed in the frame 1021, and the threaded rod 1022 is rotatable relative to the frame 1021. A motor 1023 is provided on the outside of the frame 1021, and the driving end of the motor 1023 is connected to the threaded rod 1022 to drive the threaded rod 1022 to rotate. A moving block 1024 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1022, and a guide rod 1025 is movably connected in the moving block 1024. The two ends of the guide rod 1025 are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1021, and the moving block 1024 is detachably connected to the connecting frame 1026 by screws. A cleaning member 103 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting frame 1026. The cleaning member 103 is a brush in this embodiment.
[0060] During use, the threaded rod 1022 is driven to rotate by the motor 1023. Since the moving block 1024 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 1022 and slides on the guide rod 1025, the moving block 1024 makes a linear motion on the threaded rod 1022, driving the connecting frame 1026 and the cleaning member 103 to move. The cleaning member 103 cleans the upper surface of the condenser 4, which can prevent dust accumulation from affecting the heat dissipation effect, ensure the efficient movement of the condenser 4, ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser 4, avoid poor heat dissipation due to dust accumulation, and affect the performance of the entire heat dissipation system.
[0061] The cleaning structure 10 comprises two main parts: a support body 101 and a cleaning body 102. The support body 101 is composed of a first support plate 1011 and a second support plate 1012, which are bolted to the top of the cabinet 1, providing a stable mounting base for the cleaning body 102. The core of the cleaning body 102 lies in the threaded rod 1022 within the frame 1021, the movable block 1024 connected thereto, and the matching motor 1023. The motor 1023 drives the threaded rod 1022 to rotate, while the threaded connection between the movable block 1024 and the threaded rod 1022 and the sliding movement on the guide rod 1025 ensure that the movable block 1024 can make precise linear motion along the threaded rod 1022.
[0062] The linear motion of moving block 1024 drives the attached cleaning member 103 (brush) to perform a reciprocating sweep across the upper surface of condenser 4. The brush's trajectory covers a large portion of the upper surface of condenser 4, effectively removing dust and particles from the surface of condenser 4 and ensuring optimal heat exchange performance across every part of its heat sink.
[0063] The removable screw connection of the movable block 1024 to the connecting bracket 1026 facilitates replacement and maintenance of the cleaning element 103 (brush). Even if the brush becomes worn after prolonged operation, it can be easily replaced without affecting the operation of the entire cleaning structure 10. Furthermore, the provision of the guide rod 1025 ensures smooth and accurate movement of the movable block 1024, preventing potential misalignment or damage during the cleaning process, further enhancing the overall reliability and durability of the system. This design not only allows for convenient maintenance during long-term operation but also ensures accurate cleaning operations. This optimizes the heat dissipation performance of the condenser 4, prevents reduced heat dissipation efficiency due to dust accumulation, and reduces the failure rate and maintenance costs of the server cabinet.
[0064] Furthermore, the cleaning structure 10 also includes a dust suction structure 104, which includes an adsorption member 1041 arranged on the cleaning member 103, and the adsorption member 1041 has a dust suction port, which faces the upper surface of the condenser 4, so that while the cleaning member 103 cleans the upper surface of the condenser 4, it adsorbs dust generated when the cleaning structure 10 cleans the upper surface of the condenser 4.
[0065] Furthermore, the dust suction structure 104 also includes a dust suction pipe 1042 and an exhaust component 1043. One end of the dust suction pipe 1042 is connected to the adsorption component 1041, and the end of the dust suction pipe 1042 away from the adsorption component 1041 is connected to the exhaust component 1043 to generate suction through the exhaust component 1043 to absorb dust.
[0066] Specifically, the cleaning structure 10 also includes a dust suction structure 104, which includes a top plate 1044 arranged on the moving block 1024, and an exhaust component 1043 is arranged on the top plate 1044. The exhaust component 1043 is a dust collector, and the suction end of the exhaust component 1043 is connected to a dust suction pipe 1042. The end of the dust suction pipe 1042 away from the exhaust component 1043 is connected to an adsorption component 1041. The adsorption component 1041 has a dust suction port, and the dust suction port faces the upper surface of the condenser 4, so that when the cleaning component 103 cleans the upper surface of the condenser 4, it can adsorb the dust generated when the cleaning structure 10 cleans the upper surface of the condenser 4.
[0067] The dust cleaned is sucked away by the vacuum component 1043 through the dust collection pipe 1042, so the surface of the condenser 4 can be cleaned regularly. By combining the cleaning of the cleaning component 103 and the dust collection of the vacuum component 1043, the cleaning effect is more thorough, reducing the workload and cost of manual cleaning, thereby effectively ensuring the normal operation of the condenser 4.
[0068] The cleaning member 103 (e.g., a brush) of the cleaning structure 10 is in close contact with the upper surface of the condenser 4. The motor 1023 drives the threaded rod 1022 to rotate, causing the movable block 1024 to move linearly along the guide rod 1025, thereby driving the cleaning member 103 to perform a reciprocating sweep of the upper surface of the condenser 4. Simultaneously, the suction component 1043 (e.g., a vacuum cleaner) in the dust collection structure 104 is connected to the top plate 1044 on the movable block 1024 via the dust collection duct 1042, ensuring that the dust collection port always points toward the upper surface of the condenser 4. The dual-effect combination of the physical cleaning of the cleaning member 103 and the vacuum suction of the suction component 1043 not only removes dust and impurities from the surface of the condenser 4, but also promptly extracts fine particles raised during the cleaning process, preventing secondary contamination and thus achieving a deep cleaning effect.
[0069] The integrated use of cleaning mechanism 10 and dust collection mechanism 104 allows dust removed by cleaning mechanism 10 to be automatically absorbed by suction element 1043, replacing traditional manual cleaning methods. This reduces the workload of maintenance personnel and avoids issues such as equipment damage or incomplete cleaning that can result from improper manual operation. This automated cleaning process reduces maintenance costs and equipment downtime due to cleaning.
[0070] The mechanical cleaning of the cleaning element 103 and the real-time vacuuming of the exhaust element 1043 effectively prevent excessive dust accumulation on the surface of the condenser 4, thus avoiding the resulting reduction in heat exchange efficiency and cooling performance, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the server cabinet's overall cooling system. Periodic cleaning of the condenser 4 ensures its cooling capacity is not affected, providing continuous, efficient, and stable cooling support for the server in high-density environments, thereby ensuring normal server operation and extending its service life.
[0071] Furthermore, the server cabinet further includes a plurality of accommodating structures 12 provided on the cabinet 1 . Each accommodating structure 12 is movably provided relative to the cabinet 1 . The accommodating structure 12 has an accommodating space for storing items.
[0072] Specifically, if Figure 7As shown, the server cabinet also includes a plurality of accommodating structures 12 arranged on the cabinet 1. There is a space for accommodating the accommodating structure 12 between the load-bearing plate 100 relatively close to the bottom wall of the cabinet 1 and the bottom wall of the cabinet 1. A connecting plate 121 is provided in the space. The connecting plate 121 divides the space into two accommodating spaces. Each accommodating space is used to accommodate a accommodating structure 12. The accommodating structure 12 is a drawer. The accommodating structure 12 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 121. The accommodating structure 12 can be manually pulled out or pushed into the cabinet 1. The accommodating structure 12 can be used to store server-related tools, accessories, documents and other items, which is convenient for staff to access when maintaining and managing the server, improves work efficiency, and makes more reasonable use of the internal space of the cabinet 1.
[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the space between the bottom wall of the cabinet 1 and the load plate 100 is divided into two independent storage spaces by providing a connecting plate 121, each of which is used to accommodate a drawer-shaped storage structure 12. This allows for the rational planning of unused space within the cabinet 1, transforming it into a practical area for storing server-related tools, accessories, or documents. This not only increases the actual usable volume of the server cabinet but also facilitates the classification and orderly storage of items.
[0074] The storage structure 12 utilizes a drawer-like sliding connection, allowing users to manually pull out the drawer and easily access the items stored within without the need for additional tools or complicated operations. This significantly improves operational convenience for maintenance personnel involved in daily server cabinet maintenance and management. When tools or documents are needed, they can quickly locate and retrieve the required items, significantly reducing search and preparation time and improving maintenance efficiency.
[0075] The presence of the accommodating structure 12 not only provides additional storage space, but also helps maintain a tidy site. Storing server-related tools, accessories, or documents in the drawer can avoid the mess caused by random placement of items and reduce unnecessary safety hazards.
[0076] Furthermore, the server cabinet further includes an alarm component 13 and a smoke detection component 14 which are arranged in the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 6 , so that when there is smoke in the cabinet 1 , the controller 6 controls the alarm component 13 to sound an alarm.
[0077] Specifically, if Figure 8As shown, the server cabinet also includes an alarm component 13 arranged on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, and a smoke detection component 14 arranged in the cabinet 1. The smoke detection component 14 is a smoke sensor. The alarm component 13 and the smoke detection component 14 are both connected to the controller 6. The smoke detection component 14 monitors the smoke situation in the cabinet 1 in real time. When smoke is detected, the detected signal is sent to the controller 6. The controller 6 controls the alarm component 13 to alarm and remind the staff to deal with it in time. The coordinated use of the alarm component 13 and the smoke detection component 14 can timely detect abnormal conditions in the cabinet 1, such as fire hazards, to improve the safety of the equipment.
[0078] like Figure 8 As shown, the smoke sensor can sensitively detect the presence of smoke particles in the air. Once a preset threshold is reached, it will immediately activate and transmit a signal to the controller 6. Compared with traditional manual inspections, it can greatly shorten the time to discover problems.
[0079] Alarm unit 13 is connected to controller 6. When controller 6 receives an abnormal signal from smoke detector 14, it quickly activates alarm unit 13 to generate an audible and visual alarm, alerting data center personnel. This ensures that appropriate warning measures are triggered as soon as the smoke sensor detects a problem, without any human judgment or delay. This intelligent control's efficient response mechanism minimizes the risk of fire spread and protects server hardware and data center facilities from damage.
[0080] The coordinated use of the alarm component 13 and the smoke detection component 14 not only provides a firewall for the server cabinet, but also indirectly improves the security management level of the entire data center.
[0081] Furthermore, the server cabinet also includes an anti-slip structure 15, which is arranged on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1 away from the condenser 4. The anti-slip structure 15 includes a support column 151, and the anti-slip structure 15 also includes an anti-slip component 152 arranged on the side of the support column 151 away from the cabinet 1.
[0082] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, the server cabinet also includes an anti-slip structure 15 arranged on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1 on the side away from the condenser 4. The anti-slip structure 15 includes a support column 151 arranged on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, and an anti-slip component 152 is provided at the end of the support column 151 away from the cabinet 1. The anti-slip component 152 is an anti-slip pattern. The support column 151 supports the cabinet 1 at a certain height so that it is away from the bottom surface, providing stable support for the cabinet 1, and preventing the cabinet 1 from directly contacting the ground and getting damp or receiving other damage. The presence of the anti-slip component 152 can increase the friction between the support column 151 and the ground, thereby improving the stability of the cabinet 1.
[0083] A group of ventilation holes 17 are evenly arranged on the two side walls of the cabinet 1 to assist in heat dissipation. When the temperature inside the cabinet 1 is high, external cold air can enter the cabinet 1 through the ventilation holes 17 and exchange with the internal hot air to reduce the temperature inside the cabinet 1. At the same time, the ventilation holes 17 can also ensure the circulation of air inside the cabinet 1, reducing odor and moisture accumulation caused by poor air circulation.
[0084] like Figure 2 As shown, the server cabinet 1 is effectively isolated from the ground and stably supported by the anti-slip structure 15 provided on the bottom wall of the cabinet 1, specifically the combination of support columns 151 and anti-slip components 152. Support columns 151 elevate the cabinet 1, preventing it from directly contacting the ground. This prevents the adverse effects of a humid environment on the cabinet and the server equipment within, such as rusting of metal parts and increased risk of electrical short circuits, thereby protecting the integrity and functional stability of key components within the cabinet 1.
[0085] The anti-slip component 152 at the end of the support column 151 adopts an anti-slip pattern design, which significantly increases the friction coefficient between the cabinet 1 and the ground. Even in slippery or unstable ground conditions, it can ensure that the cabinet 1 stands firmly and avoid accidental slipping or displacement.
[0086] The evenly distributed vents 17 on both sides of the cabinet 1 are key components for improving heat dissipation. When the server generates a large amount of heat, causing the temperature inside the cabinet 1 to rise, the cooler air outside can naturally flow into the cabinet 1 through these vents 17 and exchange heat with the hot air.
[0087] In addition to dissipating heat, the vents 17 also promote air circulation within the cabinet 1, preventing moisture accumulation and odor generation due to poor air circulation. Good air circulation is not only a necessary condition for heat dissipation, but also the basis for maintaining a good working environment inside the server cabinet, which contributes to the healthy operation of the entire system.

Specific examples are used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is only intended to help understand the method and core ideas of the present application. It should be noted that, for ordinary technicians in this technical field, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements and modifications can be made to the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
