[0053] In order to realize the embodiments of the present application, the material and component preparation stage: according to the design requirements, high-strength heat-conducting metal plates, high-precision sensors, signal processing circuit boards, waterproof sealant, heat-dissipating silicone, insulating coating materials and other materials are purchased. The quality of the purchased materials and components is inspected to ensure that they meet the design standards and performance requirements.
[0054] In the case wall sandwich structure processing stage: use numerical control processing equipment to cut, stamp or mill the metal plate to process the case wall sandwich structure, sensor mounting groove and signal processing circuit mounting area. Strictly control the dimensional accuracy during processing, and calibrate and maintain the processing equipment regularly to ensure the processing quality.

[0059] According to the embodiments of the present application, the environment detector can be but is not limited to a water vapor sensor. By designing part of the area of the cabinet wall material as a sensing element, the water vapor in the cabinet can be accurately detected and warned by utilizing the characteristic that the electrical performance of the material changes after absorbing water vapor, especially the water vapor can be detected in the micro stage when it just begins to condense, so as to effectively prevent server failure caused by water vapor problems. This method not only realizes the purpose of not occupying extra space and improving system stability; at the same time, through optimization design, the early warning system can more efficiently and accurately monitor the water vapor condition in the cabinet, issue an early warning, ensure the safe operation of the server electronic components, and improve the overall reliability and stability of the server. The defects of the traditional water vapor warning method in the prior art are overcome, the water vapor in the cabinet is accurately, sensitively and timely warned, and no additional complex sensor is needed, which reduces the cost and improves the reliability of the equipment.
[0060] The present embodiment can but is not limited to detecting the water vapor in the server cabinet by the following contents.
[0061] 1. Material Selection: Depending on business requirements, the chassis walls can be partially or entirely constructed from novel polymer materials. Materials whose electrical properties significantly change after absorbing water vapor are selected, such as modified polyetheretherketone (PEEK). By introducing polar groups into its molecular structure, the material's ability to absorb water vapor is enhanced. When water vapor molecules are adsorbed onto the material's surface and interior, the migration ability of conductive particles (such as ions and electrons) within the material is enhanced, leading to a significant reduction in resistivity. The material's resistivity in a dry state is approximately 10¹⁰. 4 Ω cm, belonging to the category of insulators; resistivity drops to 10 at high humidity. 8 Ω Below 1 cm, the conductivity is greatly improved. This change can be detected by the circuit and converted into an electrical signal to realize the humidity sensing function.
[0062] 2. Sensing Area Design: Sensing areas should be placed in critical areas of the chassis wall, such as near circuit components, ventilation holes, or other locations prone to moisture accumulation, including the chassis air intake and exhaust vents where condensation easily forms due to temperature fluctuations. These areas allow for immediate detection of dangerous humidity changes, preventing short circuits and circuit damage caused by moisture. A specific area is designated as the sensing area. This area is integrally formed with the chassis wall, requiring no additional components. The area of the sensing area is determined based on the chassis size and specific needs, typically ranging from 1-4 cm².
[0063] 3. Signal Detection and Processing: Electrodes are placed at both ends of the sensing area and connected to a signal detection circuit via wires. The signal detection circuit includes a constant current source, a voltage detection module, and a signal amplification module. The constant current source applies a constant current to the sensing area, and the voltage detection module monitors the voltage change across the sensing area in real time. Since voltage is proportional to resistance, changes in voltage reflect changes in the material's resistivity. The signal amplification module amplifies the weak voltage signal and transmits it to the control unit. The control unit determines whether to trigger an alarm based on a preset threshold.
[0064] The implementation plan for material property sensing technology is as follows:
[0065] 1. Material Preparation: Modified PEEK materials are prepared by melt grafting polyetheretherketone (PEEK) resin with polar monomers (such as maleic anhydride) in a twin-screw extruder. The reaction temperature is 380-400℃, the screw speed is 100-150 r / min, and the amount of polar monomer added is 5-8% of the mass of PEEK resin. The core objective is to chemically modify ordinary PEEK resin into a functional material with humidity-responsive capabilities. The key goal is to introduce "polar groups" into the PEEK resin, enabling it to adsorb water vapor and thereby change its electrical properties, laying "signal seeds" for subsequent sensing.
[0066] 2. Cabinet wall manufacturing: using injection molding process to make cabinet wall with modified PEEK material, leaving a flat surface in the preset sensing area (such as the position of the cabinet wall close to the location where water vapor is easily generated) with an area of 2 cm².
[0067] 3. Electrode setting: vacuum evaporation method is used to plate gold electrodes with a thickness of 100 nm at both ends of the sensing area, with an electrode area of 0.5 cm x 1 cm and a distance between the two electrodes of 1 cm.
[0068] 4. This sensing area can have multiple design options, and different connection methods can be selected under different scenarios and businesses, such as the following methods:
[0069] 1) All or part of the high molecular cabinet wall can be used;

[0075] (2) No need for additional complex sensors: The technical solutions all utilize the self characteristics of the case wall material to realize early warning, without the need for installing additional complex sensors inside the case, saving case space, simplifying the device structure, and reducing device cost.
[0076] (3) High reliability: The sensing area and self feedback structure are designed integrally or closely combined with the case wall, reducing the detection failure problems caused by loose sensor installation, line faults, etc., and improving the reliability of the early warning system.
[0077] (4) Wide application range: Suitable for various devices such as server cases, building intelligent control system cases, etc., with strong universality and practicality.
