Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, and more specifically, to a server cabinet that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] In modern data centers and server rooms, server racks typically operate at high density for extended periods, leading to a rapid increase in internal temperature. To ensure stable server operation and extend their lifespan, an efficient cooling system is essential. However, existing server rack cooling systems often suffer from fixed fan positions, making it impossible to flexibly adjust them according to the actual heat source location. This fixed cooling design limits the cooling effect, especially when the temperature distribution is uneven in different areas inside the server rack. Fixed fans cannot cover all heat sources, causing some areas to overheat and affecting the server's performance and stability.

[0003] During routine server maintenance and upgrades, frequent disassembly and reassembly of cooling fans is a common operation. Existing cooling fan installation methods are usually quite complex, requiring the use of tools such as screwdrivers for fixing and disassembly. This not only increases the workload of maintenance personnel but may also cause damage to the cooling fans during disassembly and reassembly. In addition, the complex installation process may prolong server downtime and affect business continuity. Utility Model Content

[0029] Please see Figures 1-5A server cabinet 1 for easy heat dissipation includes a cabinet 1, a linkage mechanism inside the cabinet 1, the linkage mechanism including a hanger 2, a ring frame 3, a sliding sleeve 4, a mounting bracket 5, and a transmission mechanism. The hanger 2 is installed inside the cabinet 1, the ring frame 3 is installed on the hanger 2, the sliding sleeve 4 has two sets of sliding parts on the ring frame 3, the mounting bracket 5 is installed on the sliding sleeve 4, and a cooling fan 6 is installed on the mounting bracket 5. The cooling fan 6 is installed on the mounting bracket 5 through a quick-installation mechanism, the quick-installation mechanism including a mounting sleeve 7, an inclined... The mounting sleeve 7 is mounted on the mounting bracket 5. Multiple sets of inclined slide grooves 8 are provided in the mounting sleeve 7. The inclined slide 9 slides in multiple sets of inclined slide grooves 8. The locking block 10 is installed on multiple sets of inclined slide 9. The fixing rod 11 is installed on the cooling fan 6. The locking groove 12 is distributed on the outer wall of the fixing rod 11. The pushing ring 13 is set in the mounting sleeve 7. The sliding sleeve 14 slides on the mounting sleeve 7 and is connected to the pushing ring 13.

[0030] The ring frame 3 has an annular groove 15, and both sets of sliding sleeves 4 are equipped with sliding strips 16. Both sets of sliding strips 16 are slidably installed in the annular groove 15. This design allows the sliding sleeves 4 to slide smoothly on the ring frame 3, ensuring that the cooling fan 6 will not shift or get stuck during movement.

[0031] The transmission mechanism includes a motor 17, a gear 28, and a gear ring 29. The motor 17 is mounted on the outside of the ring frame 3, the gear 28 is mounted on the output end of the motor 17, and the gear ring 29 is mounted on the sliding sleeve 4 and meshes with the gear 28. After the motor 17 starts, it drives the gear ring 29 to rotate through the gear 28. The gear ring 29 drives the sliding sleeve 4 to slide in the annular groove 15, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the cooling fan 6.

[0032] The distance between the fixing rod 11 and the inner wall of the mounting sleeve 7 is set as a polygon. This design ensures that the fixing rod 11 will not rotate when it is inserted into the mounting sleeve 7, thereby maintaining the stability and correct position of the cooling fan 6 during installation.

[0033] A cabinet door 18 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet body 1, and an observation window 19 is provided on the cabinet door 18. This design allows the cabinet door 18 to be opened and closed easily, while the observation window 19 allows the operator to observe the situation inside the cabinet body 1 without opening the cabinet door 18.

[0034] Each of the multiple card slots 12 has a clearance groove 20 on its bottom surface. This design allows the card block 10 to pass smoothly through the clearance groove 20 on the bottom surface of the card slot 12 when it is engaged in the card slot 12, thus avoiding obstruction of the card block 10 during the engagement process.

[0035] The top surface of the cabinet 1 has an air inlet 21 and the side wall of the cabinet 1 has an air outlet 27. This design allows cold air to enter the cabinet 1 through the air inlet 21 and hot air to be discharged through the air outlet 27, forming good air circulation and improving heat dissipation.

[0036] In this embodiment, the motor 17 is started, and the motor 17 drives the gear ring 29 to rotate through the gear 28. The gear ring 29 drives the sliding sleeve 4 to slide in the annular groove 15. The movement of the sliding sleeve 4 drives the mounting bracket 5 to move on the annular frame 3. The cooling fan 6 on the mounting bracket 5 also moves accordingly, realizing the adjustment of the position of the cooling fan 6. The fixing rod 11 of the cooling fan 6 is aligned with the polygonal inner wall of the mounting sleeve 7 and inserted into the mounting sleeve 7. The sliding sleeve 14 is pushed to drive the push ring 13 to push the inclined slider 9 to slide in the inclined sliding groove 8. The inclined slider 9 drives the locking block 10 to move. The locking block 10 is engaged in the locking groove 12 of the fixing rod 11 to fix the cooling fan 6. The cooling fan 6 is started on the mounting bracket 5. Through multi-point movement, it covers multiple areas in the cabinet 1 to achieve efficient heat dissipation. The air inlet 21 on the top surface of the cabinet 1 and the air outlet 27 on the side wall ensure air circulation and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0037] Please see Figures 4-5 As one implementation of the limiting mechanism: the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 7 is provided with a limiting mechanism, which includes a rotating sleeve 22, a limiting sleeve 23, an unlocking groove 24, a vertical rod 25 and a limiting plate 26. The rotating sleeve 22 is rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting sleeve 7, the limiting sleeve 23 is mounted on the bottom surface of the rotating sleeve 22, multiple sets of unlocking grooves 24 are provided distributed on the outside of the limiting sleeve 23, multiple sets of vertical rods 25 are provided and mounted on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 14, and the limiting plate 26 is mounted on the top of the multiple sets of vertical rods 25.

[0038] More specifically, rotating the rotating sleeve 22 aligns the unlocking groove 24 on the limiting sleeve 23 with the vertical rod 25. The limiting plate 26 on the vertical rod 25 is inserted into the unlocking groove 24, locking the position of the sliding sleeve 14 and ensuring the secure installation of the cooling fan 6. When the cooling fan 6 needs to be disassembled, rotating the rotating sleeve 22 displaces the unlocking groove 24 on the limiting sleeve 23 from the vertical rod 25. The limiting plate 26 on the vertical rod 25 comes out of the unlocking groove 24, releasing the lock on the sliding sleeve 14. Sliding the sliding sleeve 14 releases the lock on the push ring 13. The push ring 13 releases its contact with the inclined slider 9 and pulls the fixing rod 11 outward. The inclined slider 9 drives the locking block 10 to disengage from the locking groove 12, releasing the locking of the fixing rod 11 and easily disassembling the cooling fan 6.

[0039] In summary, when the entire device is in use or running: Motor 17 is started, and motor 17 drives gear ring 29 to rotate via gear 28. Gear ring 29 drives sliding sleeve 4 to slide within annular groove 15. The movement of sliding sleeve 4 causes mounting bracket 5 to move on annular frame 3, and cooling fan 6 on mounting bracket 5 also moves accordingly, thus adjusting the position of cooling fan 6. Fixing rod 11 of cooling fan 6 is aligned with the polygonal inner wall of mounting sleeve 7 and inserted into mounting sleeve 7. Sliding sleeve 14 is pushed, causing push ring 13 to push inclined slider 9 to slide within inclined groove 8. Inclined slider 9 drives locking block 10 to move, locking block 10 into locking groove 12 of fixing rod 11, thus fixing cooling fan 6. Cooling fan 6 is started on mounting bracket 5, covering multiple areas within cabinet 1 through multi-point movement, achieving efficient heat dissipation. Air inlet 21 on top of cabinet 1 and air outlet 27 on side wall ensure air circulation and improve heat dissipation effect.

[0040] Rotate the rotating sleeve 22 to align the unlocking groove 24 on the limiting sleeve 23 with the vertical rod 25. The limiting plate 26 on the vertical rod 25 is inserted into the unlocking groove 24 to lock the position of the sliding sleeve 14, ensuring the secure installation of the cooling fan 6. When the cooling fan 6 needs to be disassembled, rotate the rotating sleeve 22 to displace the unlocking groove 24 on the limiting sleeve 23 from the vertical rod 25. The limiting plate 26 on the vertical rod 25 is disengaged from the unlocking groove 24, releasing the lock on the sliding sleeve 14. Slide the sliding sleeve 14 to release the lock on the push ring 13. The push ring 13 releases its contact with the inclined slider 9 and pulls the fixing rod 11 outward. The inclined slider 9 drives the locking block 10 to disengage from the locking groove 12, releasing the locking of the fixing rod 11 and easily disassembling the cooling fan 6.
