Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of server operation and maintenance, and in particular to an operation and maintenance vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the continuous expansion of data centers and the increasing demand for space utilization and server installation density, multi-layer drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinets (for example, a multi-layer immersion liquid cooling system disclosed in CN118647175A and a liquid cooling cabinet disclosed in CN215872521U) have become one of the structures for server deployment due to their excellent high-density layout advantages. Such liquid cooling cabinets usually have multiple layers of drawers, each of which can carry multiple servers, and the overall height is relatively high, the number of layers is relatively large, and the vertical arrangement of servers is more compact, which puts higher requirements on the operation and maintenance of the equipment.

[0003] When replacing, maintaining or transporting servers in the immersion liquid cooling cabinet, the operation and maintenance vehicle usually undertakes the task of grabbing and transporting the servers. However, the existing operation and maintenance vehicles (for example, an immersion liquid cooling server hoisting and operation robot disclosed in CN117284949A, an operation and maintenance vehicle disclosed in CN114513938A and a server transport vehicle disclosed in CN206088851U) mostly adopt fixed height structures or simple lifting structures, and their lifting range is limited, which is difficult to cover all server positions of the multi-layer liquid cooling cabinet, especially cannot effectively grab servers located at high or low layers. If the fixed height of the existing operation and maintenance vehicle is directly increased, it will be difficult to pass through the door opening or transportation channel of the equipment during the transportation process after the server is grabbed by the operation and maintenance vehicle due to the high overall structure. Therefore, the existing operation and maintenance vehicle is not suitable for grabbing and transporting servers in the multi-layer drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinet. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0004] In order to realize the operation and maintenance operation suitable for grabbing servers in the multi-layer drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinet and passing through low channels, the application provides an operation and maintenance vehicle.

[0008] Optionally, the length and the width of the sliding base are greater than the sum of the length of the grabbing unit and the width of the driving telescopic column, when the drawer cabinet of the drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinet is in the drawn-out state, and the sliding base abuts against the bottom of the drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinet, the grabbing unit is located above the drawer cabinet in the drawn-out state.

[0009] By adopting the technical scheme, the sliding base designed in this way can improve the anti-overturning capability when high-level servers are grabbed, and the sliding base can abut against the bottom of the liquid cooling cabinet, at this time, the grabbing unit can be located above the drawer cabinet in the drawn-out state, accurate butt joint of the position is realized, operation is facilitated, and structural guarantee is provided for subsequent accurate grabbing.

[0010] Optionally, the driving unit comprises a first rack and a first gear, the first rack is vertically arranged on the column, the first gear is rotationally connected to the lifting seat, the first gear is engaged with the first rack, and a driving motor for driving the first gear to rotate is installed on the lifting seat.

[0011] By adopting the technical scheme, the driving motor drives the first gear to rotate, so that the first gear can move along the first rack, and the lifting of the lifting seat is realized.

[0012] Optionally, the top and the bottom of the column are both provided with a limiting block, the top and the bottom of the lifting seat are both provided with an abutting plate, when the limiting block at the top of the column abuts against the abutting plate at the top of the lifting seat, the top end of the first rack is engaged with the first gear, and when the limiting block at the bottom of the column abuts against the abutting plate at the bottom of the lifting seat, the bottom end of the first rack is engaged with the first gear.

[0013] By adopting the technical scheme, it is beneficial to prevent the first gear from being disengaged from the first rack, and physical stroke limiting is realized.

[0014] Optionally, the top and bottom of the column are provided with a first proximity switch, and the lifting seat is provided with a sensing plate, when the sensing plate enters the sensing range of the first proximity switch, the end of the first rack engages with the first gear, and the driving motor stops running.

[0015] By adopting the above technical scheme, the intelligent detection of the lifting limit position is realized, and the automatic stop control is realized.

[0016] Optionally, the sliding base is rotatably connected to a plurality of abutting wheels on one side of the bottom of the drawer-type immersion liquid freezer.

[0017] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the horizontal sliding base aligns the grabbing unit with the server to be grabbed, the sliding friction between the sliding base and the sidewall of the drawer-type immersion liquid freezer is replaced by the rolling friction of the abutting wheels, reducing the scratching and damage of the sliding base and the drawer-type immersion liquid freezer.

[0018] Optionally, the grabbing unit comprises a first mounting plate connected with the lifting seat, and at least one group of connecting plates is slidably connected to the first mounting plate, the number of connecting plates in each group is two, the two connecting plates in the same group move relative to each other through a driving member, and the two connecting plates in the same group are provided with plug-in columns on the mutually facing sides, the length direction of the plug-in column is parallel to the moving direction of the connecting plate, and the moving direction of the connecting plate is the drawer pulling direction of the drawer-type immersion liquid freezer.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, when grabbing the server, the two connecting plates in the same group are in a state of approaching each other and located above the server, when the first mounting plate and the connecting plate descend to the plug-in column opposite to the ear of the server, the driving member drives the two connecting plates in the same group to move away from each other until the plug-in columns of the two connecting plates are inserted into the ears at both ends of the server, realizing the grabbing of the server, and then the first mounting plate can be lifted by the lifting mechanism, and the server can be taken out of the immersion liquid freezer. Since there is no other operating component above the server, sufficient space is provided for the movement of the connecting plate, so that the server grabbing mechanism itself can reliably grab the server in a space-limited environment.

[0020] Optionally, each of the connecting plates is bolted with a moving plate, the moving plate is in sliding connection with the first mounting plate, a first slot is formed on the side of the connecting plate facing the moving plate, the length direction of the first slot is parallel to the moving direction of the connecting plate, the connecting plate is bolted with the moving plate through the first slot, the connecting plate is provided with a second slot, the length direction of the second slot is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is bolted with the plug-in column through the second slot.

[0021] By adopting the above technical scheme, the relative position of the connecting plate and the moving plate can be adjusted through the design of the first slot, thereby the spacing of the connecting plates in the same group can be adjusted, and the direct position of the plug-in column can be adjusted through the design of the second slot. Therefore, the plug-in column can be smoothly inserted into the ear of the server with different lengths, and the plug-in column can be smoothly inserted into the ear with different positions or different width sizes, thereby improving the versatility and compatibility of the grabbing mechanism.

[0022] Optionally, the number of the connecting plates is a group, the driving member includes a second gear and two second racks, the two second racks are respectively installed on the two moving plates, the two second racks are oppositely arranged, the second gear is rotationally connected to the first mounting plate, the two second racks are in meshing connection with the second gear, and the first mounting plate is provided with an electric screw.

[0023] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the second gear rotates, the two second racks will make linear motion in opposite directions but with equal speed, thereby driving the two moving plates to realize completely symmetrical moving away or moving close. The symmetrical driving structure of the gear and the rack avoids the deflection or asynchronous plugging caused by the bilateral driving error, ensures that the plug-in column can be accurately inserted into the ears of the server at both ends at the same time, and improves the coordination and stability of the grabbing action.

[0024] Optionally, the first mounting plate is connected with the lifting seat through a second mounting plate, the top of the first mounting plate is provided with a plurality of sliding columns, the plurality of sliding columns are collectively arranged through the first mounting plate, a spring is sleeved on the sliding column, one end of the spring is fixed to the top of the second mounting plate, the other end of the spring is fixed to the end of the sliding column, the second mounting plate is connected with the lifting seat, and the top of the second mounting plate is provided with a second proximity switch. When the top of the sliding column enters the sensing range of the second proximity switch, the driving member can be driven. When the top of the sliding column moves out of the sensing range of the second proximity switch, the driving member cannot be driven.

[0025] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the grabbing mechanism is inserted into the server ear and bears the weight of the server, the gravity of the server causes the sliding column to move downward and the spring to compress. At this time, the sliding column is away from the second proximity switch, and the driving piece cannot be driven. When the second proximity switch is damaged, the driving piece also cannot be driven. This avoids the risk of unstable grabbing, server falling off, and other risks caused by misoperation or misdriving, and significantly improves the safety of the entire grabbing process.

[0026] Moreover, the spring can automatically absorb the force deviation of the server caused by slight differences in size or weight during server grabbing, so that the server can be transported in a horizontal state, ensuring the stability of the server during transportation and reducing the risk of server sliding and falling off.

[0027] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. The sliding base can drive the driving telescopic column, the stand column and the grabbing unit to move. The driving telescopic column and the stand column are designed in cooperation, which on the one hand provides a large vertical telescopic stroke, so that the grabbing unit can cover all server positions of the multi-drawer immersion liquid cooling cabinet; on the other hand, after completing the server grabbing, the telescopic column can be retracted, thereby reducing the overall vehicle height, ensuring that the maintenance vehicle can smoothly pass through the door opening or transportation channel during transfer, improving the adaptability and passability, and being particularly suitable for the computer room environment with limited space and using the multi-drawer immersion liquid cooling cabinet to load servers;

[0029] 2. The widened and lengthened sliding base design can improve the anti-overturning capability during high-level server grabbing, and the sliding base can abut against the bottom of the liquid cooling cabinet. At this time, the grabbing unit can be located directly above the drawer cabinet in the extracted state, realizing accurate docking of the position, facilitating operation, and providing structural guarantee for subsequent accurate grabbing;

[0030] 3. During server grabbing, the two connecting plates in the same group are in a state of approaching each other and are located above the server. When the first mounting plate and the connecting plate descend to the plug-in column opposite the server ear, the driving piece drives the two connecting plates in the same group to move away from each other until the plug-in columns of the two connecting plates are inserted into the server ears at both ends, realizing the grabbing of the server, and then the server can be taken out of the immersion liquid cooling cabinet in cooperation with the lifting seat. Under high machine density, the distance between adjacent servers is small, and there are many cables around the server. However, there are usually no other operating components directly above the server. Therefore, compared with the traditional method of first stretching the clamping jaw and then clamping the server, this clamping structure does not interfere with other cables / servers around the server, and is more suitable for reliably grabbing the server in a limited space environment.

[0031] 4. When the grabbing mechanism is inserted into the server lug and bears the weight of the server, the gravity of the server causes the sliding column to move downward and the spring to compress. At this time, the sliding column is away from the second proximity switch, and the driving piece cannot be driven. When the second proximity switch is damaged, the driving piece also cannot be driven. This avoids the risk of unstable grabbing, server falling off, and other risks caused by misoperation or misdriving, and significantly improves the safety of the entire grabbing process.

[0032] Moreover, the spring can automatically absorb the force deviation of the server caused by slight differences in size or weight when grabbing the server, so that the server can be kept in a horizontal state for transportation, ensuring the stability of the server during transportation and reducing the risk of server sliding off.

The part of the sliding column 311 passing through the second mounting plate 32 is sleeved with a spring 312, one end of the spring 312 is fixed with the top surface of the second mounting plate 32, the other end of the spring 312 is fixed with the end of the sliding column 311 passing through the second mounting plate 32. The top of the second mounting plate 32 is installed with two second proximity switches 322, and the two second proximity switches 322 are respectively opposite to the top of one of the sliding columns 311.

[0050] The bottom of the first mounting plate 31 is installed with two slide rails 313, and the two slide rails 313 are commonly connected with two moving plates 33, the moving plates 33 are L-shaped, the longitudinal sections of the moving plates 33 are towards the horizontal sections of the other moving plates 33, and the longitudinal section of one moving plate 33 and the horizontal section of the other moving plate 33 are slidably connected on the same slide rail 313 through a sliding block 331.

[0051] The bottom of the two moving plates 33 is bolted with a connecting plate 34, the connecting plate 34 is located at the middle of the horizontal section of the moving plate 33, the connecting plate 34 is an L-shaped plate, four first slot holes 341 are formed in the side of the connecting plate 34 facing the moving plate 33, and the length direction of the first slot hole 341 is parallel to the moving direction of the connecting plate 34. The connecting plate 34 is provided with two second slot holes 342, the length direction of the second slot hole 342 is perpendicular to the moving direction of the connecting plate 34, that is, the length direction of the second slot hole 342 is parallel to the horizontal section of the moving plate 33.

[0055] The principle of the embodiment of the application is that when the server is grabbed, the sliding base 1 is moved and approached to the multi-layer drawer type immersion liquid cooler, the abutting wheel 17 is abutted with the bottom of the side wall of the drawer type immersion liquid cooler, then the sliding base 1 is transversely moved to make the first mounting plate 31 aligned with the server to be grabbed, the cooperation of the driving telescopic column 11 and the column 12 is used to realize the lifting of the first mounting plate 31, when the second mounting plate 32, the first mounting plate 31 and the connecting plate 34 are lowered to make the plug-in column 35 of the connecting plate 34 opposite to the ear of the server, the electric lead screw 363 is started to drive the two connecting plates 34 of the same group to be away from each other, until the plug-in columns 35 of the two connecting plates 34 are respectively inserted into the ears of the server at both ends, the server is grabbed, then the driving motor 24 is started to make the second mounting plate 32 and the first mounting plate 31 lifted, and then the server can be taken out from the immersion liquid cooler.

[0056] Moreover, when the top of the sliding column 311 enters the sensing range of the second proximity switch 322, the electric screw 363 can be driven. When the plug-in column 35 is inserted into the server ear and bears the weight of the server, the gravity of the server causes the sliding column 311 to move downward and the spring to compress. At this time, the sliding column 311 moves away from the second proximity switch 322, and the electric screw 363 cannot be driven. When the second proximity switch 322 is damaged, the electric screw 363 also cannot be driven. This avoids the risk of unstable grabbing, server falling off, and other risks caused by misoperation or misdriving, and significantly improves the safety of the entire grabbing process. At the same time, when transporting the server, the driven telescopic column 11 can be completely retracted, so that the stand column 12 and the server can smoothly pass through the door opening. The adaptability and passability are improved, and it is particularly suitable for a computer room environment with limited space and using a multi-layer drawer type immersion liquid cooling cabinet to load servers. This clamping structure does not interfere with other cables around the server / server, and is more suitable for reliably grabbing the server in a space-limited environment. Therefore, the operation and maintenance vehicle of the embodiment is more suitable for grabbing servers with multi-layer and high machine density arrangements.

[0057] The above are preferred embodiments of the present application, and do not limit the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, equivalent changes made in the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
