DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, with examples illustrated in the accompanying drawings. In the following description, when referring to the drawings, identical numerals in different figures represent identical or similar elements, unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments are not intended to represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present application, as detailed in the appended claims.

[0036] As mentioned in the background technology, the fire monitoring system of a data center is a vital safety protection network that can continuously monitor and quickly respond to any potential fire hazards, ensuring the safety of equipment, data and personnel in the data center. Traditional fire monitoring relies on independent smoke detectors to trigger alarms. Although this method is direct, it has limitations in improving fire extinguishing efficiency. With the advancement of science and technology, modern fire monitoring systems have evolved into a complex system that integrates multiple sensors, alarm mechanisms, automatic fire extinguishing facilities and intelligent monitoring technologies. However, these highly automated monitoring systems consume a lot of energy during round-the-clock operation, especially when there is no fire. This energy consumption is particularly unnecessary, resulting in inefficient and wasteful energy use. Therefore, exploring how to reduce the energy consumption of data center fire monitoring systems without affecting system performance has become a key issue that needs to be overcome.

[0037] To address the above issues, this application provides a data center fire monitoring system that uses a monitoring control device to control a cloud camera and adjust the cloud camera's acquisition frequency. By rationally allocating acquisition resources, it can reduce unnecessary resource consumption while ensuring effective monitoring.

[0038] The following specific embodiments describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above-mentioned technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be repeated in some embodiments. The embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0039] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of a data center fire monitoring system provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 1 .like Figure 1 As shown, the data center fire monitoring system includes: an infrared sensor 1, a control device 2, a fire signal receiver 3, a fire alarm device 4, a monitoring control device 5, a first time relay 6 and a cloud camera 7.

[0040] The output end of the infrared sensor 1 is electrically connected to the input end of the control device 2; the output end of the control device 2 is electrically connected to the input ends of the fire signal receiver 3 and the first time relay 6; the output end of the fire signal receiver 3 is electrically connected to the fire alarm device 4; the output end of the first time relay 6 is electrically connected to the cloud camera 7; the cloud camera 7 is electrically connected to the monitoring control device 5.

[0041] In this embodiment, the infrared sensor 1 serves as the front-end detection device of the data center fire monitoring system. It can monitor temperature changes or flames in the data center in real time. Once an abnormality is detected, it immediately sends a trigger signal of temperature anomaly or flame detection to the control device 2. After receiving the signal, the control device 2 sends an alarm signal indicating the abnormality to the fire signal receiver 3. After receiving the signal, the fire signal receiver 3 sends a trigger alarm signal to the fire alarm device 4. After receiving the signal, the fire alarm device 4 will quickly start and emit an audible and visual alarm to alert the personnel in the data center to take appropriate emergency measures. At the same time, the control device 2 will also send a trigger signal to the first time relay 6. The trigger signal can be, for example, a control signal to control the cloud camera 7 and aim it at the fire area to shoot. In order to capture clearer and more detailed key information, the cloud camera will also magnify the fire area to capture key information.

[0042] It should be noted that the monitoring and control device 5 is connected to the cloud camera 7. This monitoring and control device 5 is used to adjust the cloud camera 7's acquisition frequency based on the current time period. For example, during the data center's daily rest periods or holidays, the monitoring and control device 5 can control and adjust the cloud camera 7's acquisition frequency. This avoids unnecessary high-frequency acquisition, reduces data congestion and energy consumption caused by frequent acquisition, and enhances the stability and reliability of the data center's fire monitoring system.

[0043] In addition, the data center fire monitoring system may also include a user input device. This user input device is electrically connected to the monitoring control device 5. This user input device, such as a keypad or touch screen, allows the user to set or adjust these time points as needed, allowing the user to more flexibly control the cloud camera's acquisition frequency.

[0044] Specifically, the user sets or adjusts the cloud camera 7's acquisition frequency via a user input device (e.g., buttons, touchscreen, etc.) based on the data center's actual conditions, such as during rest periods or holidays. The monitoring and control device 5 receives the relevant frequency setting information from the user input device and, based on the acquired setting information and the current time period, sends a signal to the cloud camera 7 to adjust its image acquisition frequency to ensure it operates according to the user's settings. Simultaneously, the monitoring and control device 5 continuously monitors the operating status of the cloud camera 7 to ensure stable operation at the set frequency and makes real-time adjustments and optimizations as needed to ensure the effective operation of the entire data center fire monitoring system.

[0045] In daily situations, Cloud Camera 7 is controlled primarily based on user settings and needs, adjusting the acquisition frequency to meet different monitoring requirements. However, in the event of an emergency, such as a fire, Cloud Camera 7 is controlled based on emergency response requirements, requiring rapid and accurate capture of key information from the fire scene so that timely action can be taken. In such situations, Cloud Camera 7 must quickly respond to control commands, performing operations such as capturing and zooming in to provide clear images of the fire scene.

[0046] In a possible implementation, the monitoring control device 5 includes a monitoring server 51 and a monitoring controller 52. Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of a data center fire monitoring system provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 2 The output end of the monitoring server 51 is electrically connected to the input end of the monitoring controller 52 ; and the output end of the monitoring controller 52 is electrically connected to the cloud camera 7 .

[0047] Furthermore, if Figure 2 As shown, the monitoring server 51 includes a segmented timer 53, which is used to output corresponding electrical signals when the timing reaches multiple time points; the monitoring controller 52 includes a logic circuit 54, which is used to output a frequency control signal based on the acquired electrical signal; wherein the frequency control signal is used to adjust the acquisition frequency of the cloud camera 7.

[0048] In this embodiment, the output end of the monitoring server 51 and the input end of the monitoring controller 52 are electrically connected, so that the monitoring server 51 can transmit signals to the monitoring controller 52. At the same time, the output end of the monitoring controller 52 is electrically connected to the cloud camera 7 to realize control of the cloud camera 7.

[0049] Furthermore, the monitoring server 51 includes a segment timer 53. This segment timer 53 possesses precise timing capabilities, accurately outputting corresponding electrical signals at various pre-set time points during the timing process. The monitoring controller 52 includes a logic circuit 54. This circuit 54 possesses powerful logic processing capabilities and can output frequency control signals based on these received electrical signals. This signal is then used to adjust the acquisition frequency of the cloud camera 7, enabling dynamic regulation of the cloud camera's operating status.

[0050] For example, when the segment timer 53 outputs an electrical signal at a specific time point, the logic circuit 54 is used to generate a corresponding frequency control signal based on the electrical signal, thereby causing the cloud camera 7 to adjust its image acquisition frequency as required at that time point. This may be to speed up the acquisition frequency to obtain more key information, or to reduce the acquisition frequency to save resources. Through the coordinated operation of the monitoring server 51 and the monitoring controller 52, and the mutual cooperation between the segment timer 53 and the logic circuit 54, the acquisition frequency of the cloud camera 7 is intelligently, dynamically, and precisely controlled. This not only meets the diverse needs of the data center fire monitoring system in different situations, but also reduces energy consumption.

[0051] The cloud camera 7 has an internal processor that adjusts the acquisition parameters of the cloud camera 7 based on the received frequency control signal. For example, when the processor receives a signal to increase the acquisition frequency, it sends corresponding instructions to the image sensor inside the cloud camera 7. After receiving these instructions, the image sensor can adjust from a lower frame rate mode to a higher frame rate mode, allowing the camera to continuously capture images at a faster rate.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the monitoring server 51 may also send an angle command signal to the monitoring controller 52. The monitoring controller 52 outputs an angle control signal based on the received angle command signal. The cloud camera 7 has a small motor inside. By receiving the angle control signal, the small motor controls the horizontal or vertical rotation of the cloud camera 7. By adjusting the cloud camera's acquisition angle, the activities of personnel within the data center can be monitored to ensure there are no abnormal behaviors or safety hazards. At the same time, key equipment can be better monitored, and the operating status of the equipment, indicator lights, etc., can be observed in real time to promptly identify potential problems.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the data center may also contain multiple computing devices and multiple cloud cameras. Multiple cloud cameras can achieve a wider monitoring coverage, monitor from different angles and locations, and obtain more comprehensive information.

[0054] In one possible implementation, Figure 3A schematic diagram of the structure of a data center fire monitoring system provided in an embodiment of the present application Figure 3 ,like Figure 3 As shown, the data center fire monitoring system also includes an external fire response device 8, a second time relay 9, and a fire extinguishing device 10. The external fire response device 8 is electrically connected to the fire alarm device 4. The second time relay 9 has an input terminal electrically connected to the fire signal receiver 3, and an output terminal electrically connected to the fire extinguishing device 10.

[0055] In this embodiment, fire alarm device 4 issues an alarm upon receiving a trigger alarm signal from fire signal receiver 3. External fire response device 8 promptly sends a distress signal containing information such as the specific location and degree of danger to the local fire department. Simultaneously, fire signal receiver 3 sends a trigger signal to second time relay 9. This second time relay 9 activates fire extinguishing device 10 to extinguish the fire. Fire extinguishing device 10 can, for example, be a water mist extinguisher, which can rapidly extinguish fires without damaging computer equipment.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, in one possible embodiment, the data center fire monitoring system further includes a magnetic relay 11 and an electrical storage device 12. The input end of the magnetic relay 11 is electrically connected to the control device 2, and the output end is electrically connected to the electrical storage device 12. The electrical storage device 12 is electrically connected to the control device 2.

[0057] In this embodiment, by providing a power storage device 12, when the control device 2 is powered off, the magnetic relay 11 can automatically switch to the power storage device 12 for power supply, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the data center fire monitoring system and the smooth implementation of the fire emergency response.

[0058] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the data center fire monitoring system further includes a third time relay 13 and an acousto-optic generator 14. The input end of the third time relay 13 is electrically connected to the control device 2, and the output end is electrically connected to the acousto-optic generator 14.

[0059] In this embodiment, the control device 2 sends a trigger signal to the third time relay 13. The third time relay 13 quickly activates the sound and light generator 14, which emits strong sound and light and alarm signals to ensure that the staff can respond quickly.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible embodiment, the data center fire monitoring system further includes a regional relay 15 and a regional switch 16. The input end of the regional relay 15 is electrically connected to the control device 2, and the output end is electrically connected to the regional switch.

[0061] In this embodiment, by providing a regional relay 15, the regional power switch 16 of the fire area is powered off to prevent the fire from spreading through the power lines, while also providing safety protection for firefighters entering the area to perform firefighting operations.

[0062] It should be noted that when a data center is large and complex, it may include multiple zone relays and multiple zone circuit breakers. The configuration of multiple zone relays and circuit breakers allows for more precise and independent control and management of different zones. This allows for more targeted measures in the event of an abnormal situation, such as a fire, such as precisely shutting off power to a specific fire zone to avoid disrupting the normal operation of other unaffected areas. This also better ensures the safety and effectiveness of firefighting operations.

[0063] like Figure 3 As shown, in a possible implementation manner, the data center fire monitoring system further includes a network disk 17. The network disk 17 is electrically connected to the cloud camera 7.

[0064] In this embodiment, the network disk 17 is directly connected to the cloud camera 7, and can store the information captured by the cloud camera in a timely manner so that it can be retrieved and viewed at any time when needed, providing reliable materials for subsequent analysis and tracing, especially for analyzing the cause of the fire when a fire occurs.
