Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center monitoring technology, specifically a data center monitoring device. Background Technology
[0002] Environmental monitoring of data centers is a crucial part of ensuring their efficient and secure operation. Data that needs to be monitored includes temperature. The operation of equipment within a data center generates a significant amount of heat; if the temperature is too high, it can affect equipment performance and lifespan, and even lead to equipment failure. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the temperature data within the data center in real time to ensure it remains within a suitable range.
[0003] Humidity: Both excessively high and low humidity levels can negatively impact equipment within a data center, causing issues such as circuit board corrosion and electrostatic discharge. Therefore, real-time humidity monitoring is necessary.
[0004] Air quality: Air quality within data centers is crucial for equipment operation and the health of personnel. It is necessary to monitor indicators such as the concentration of dust particles and harmful gases in the air.
[0005] Traditional monitoring methods simply involve installing sensors at various locations within the server room and then checking each device for anomalies during inspections. This is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient. Furthermore, traditional monitoring methods do not directly monitor the air quality at the data center's air intakes, which directly affects the operational safety of internal equipment. Additionally, traditional methods only monitor room temperature air quality by directly installing temperature and humidity sensors indoors. Without processing the moisture density in the monitored areas, the humidity often gradually increases, and the sensors installed directly within the data center are not sensitive to this gradual increase in moisture.
[0006] Furthermore, while monitoring the air temperature, the temperature of the equipment within the data center was not monitored in conjunction with the operational issues of the core data equipment.
[0007] Therefore, to address this problem, a device is needed that can monitor the air quality at the air inlet and the temperature of the core equipment. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a data center monitoring device. This invention integrates a smoke sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, a wind speed detector, a particulate matter detector, and an infrared camera into a single device. Specifically targeting temperature and humidity monitoring, a louvered water molecule collector is installed at the air inlet, and the temperature and humidity sensor is then installed within it. Normal temperature and humidity intake will not trigger rapid detection of abnormalities. However, when the temperature and humidity of the intake air exceed normal values, it can be quickly detected by the temperature and humidity monitoring within the louvered water molecule collector, significantly improving the sensitivity to the temperature and humidity of the intake air. Furthermore, this invention utilizes a mounting plate to integrate the entire device. The device is installed at the air inlet of the data center and monitors the main intake air quality using smoke sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometers, and particulate matter detectors. It also uses an infrared camera to monitor the core equipment in the server room. When the core equipment experiences temperature anomalies, the infrared camera detects them directly. Furthermore, when the smoke concentration, particulate matter, or wind speed of the intake air becomes abnormal, these abnormal indicators are directly transmitted to the server for data storage via the control processing unit. The abnormal information is then sent to the smart terminals of the relevant personnel, facilitating rapid troubleshooting. This application integrates multiple detection devices into one unit, making installation convenient, quick, and efficient. This utility model is highly practical.
[0009] This utility model is implemented as follows:
[0010] A data center monitoring device includes a housing, on one side of which a cover plate is rotatably connected via a pivot. An L-shaped support shaft is located at the bottom of the housing, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the support shaft. Mounting holes are provided at each of the four corners of the mounting plate.
[0011] A display screen is provided on one side of the housing, and control buttons are provided adjacent to the display screen.
[0012] During installation and debugging, information is displayed on the screen and adjustments are made via control buttons. A control processing unit is fixedly installed inside the housing. An infrared camera is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the housing adjacent to the control buttons via a pivot. A smoke sensor is fixedly installed on the side of the housing opposite to the display screen. A louvered water molecule collector is fixedly installed on the housing adjacent to the smoke sensor. A temperature and humidity sensor is installed in the louvered water molecule collector. An anemometer is fixedly connected to the housing adjacent to the louvered water molecule collector. A particulate matter detection device is also installed on the housing adjacent to the anemometer.
[0013] The smoke sensor, temperature and humidity sensor, anemometer, particulate matter detector, and infrared camera are all connected to the control processing unit. The display screen is connected to the output of the control processing unit, and the control buttons are connected to the input of the control processing unit. The control processing unit is also connected to a wireless data transmission unit, which is connected to a monitoring terminal. The monitoring terminal includes a server connected to the wireless data transmission unit, which is connected to a PC and wirelessly connected to a smart terminal.
[0014] Furthermore, the control processing unit adopts an Arm 7 type control processing unit, and the wireless data transmission unit adopts a Wi-Fi unit or a 4G DTU. The smart terminal is a smartphone or tablet computer, and there is at least one smart terminal. It facilitates wireless connection, eliminating the need for wiring, making installation quick and easy. Furthermore, it allows for convenient and rapid notification of relevant personnel via the smart terminal to send abnormal and warning information, making operation simple and convenient.
[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By integrating a smoke sensor, a temperature and humidity sensor, an anemometer, a particulate matter detection device, and an infrared camera into a single integrated device, and specifically targeting the temperature and humidity monitoring of the temperature and humidity sensor, a louvered water molecule collector is installed at the air inlet, and the temperature and humidity sensor is then installed within it. When the incoming air has normal temperature and humidity, abnormalities will not be detected quickly. However, when the temperature and humidity of the incoming air exceeds normal values, it can be quickly detected through the temperature and humidity monitoring within the louvered water molecule collector, greatly improving the sensitivity to the temperature and humidity of the incoming air. Furthermore, this application uses a mounting plate to install the entire device... At the air inlet of the data center, smoke sensors, temperature and humidity sensors, anemometers, and particulate matter detectors are used to monitor the main intake air quality. Infrared cameras are also used to monitor the core equipment inside the server room. When the core equipment experiences temperature anomalies, they are directly detected by the infrared cameras. Furthermore, when the smoke concentration, particulate matter, or wind speed of the intake air becomes abnormal, these abnormal indicators are directly transmitted to the server for data storage via the control processing unit. The abnormal information is then sent to the smart terminals of the relevant personnel for quick troubleshooting. This application integrates multiple detection devices into one unit, making installation convenient, quick, and efficient. This utility model is highly practical. Attached Figure Description
