Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center cabinets, and in particular to a data center cabinet partition structure. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous expansion of data center scale and the development of high-performance chips, the heat flux density of data centers is constantly increasing, and the requirements for cooling efficiency are becoming increasingly stringent. Backplane air conditioning is an emerging cooling method for data centers. Based on discrete heat pipes, it is installed close to the rear door of the server rack and works in conjunction with multiple fans on the rear door to expel the heat generated by the servers from the rack. Cool air from the room enters the server rack through the front door, flows into the servers to carry away the heat generated by the server components, and then flows through the backplane heat exchanger to exchange heat with the refrigerant. After passing through the backplane heat exchanger, it travels through a space before being exhausted from the rack by a row of fans on the backplane.

[0003] There is a certain communication space between the backplate heat exchanger and the backplate fan. When the cabinet and air conditioning system are working, the hot air inside the cabinet flows through the backplate air conditioner and becomes cold air, and is then discharged from the cabinet by the fan through this communication space. The existence of this communication space can cause the operation of each fan to affect each other. When the operation of each fan is different, especially when a fan fails, the air outside the cabinet will flow back into the communication space through that fan, causing a certain airflow short circuit and reducing the efficiency of hot air discharge from the cabinet. Utility Model Content

[0008] The partition is fixed to the side with a first magnetic piece, and the partition can be fixed to the cabinet body of the cabinet by the first magnetic piece. Two or more partitions can also be connected in sequence by the first magnetic piece.

[0009] The side of the partition plate is provided with a slot, and an adjusting plate is slidably connected in the slot.

[0010] The inner wall of the slot is fixed with a reinforcing support plate, and the adjusting plate is slidably connected between the reinforcing support plates.

[0011] The upper surface / lower surface of the partition plate is provided with an adjusting nut, the adjusting nut is connected with an L-shaped threaded rod, the adjusting plate is provided with a plurality of insertion holes, and one end of the L-shaped threaded rod can be inserted into the insertion hole.
