Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of server cleaning equipment, in particular to a server cleaning vehicle. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to improve the cooling effect of the server, liquid is used to replace air as the cooling medium of the server. In use, the server needs to be immersed in the cooling liquid in the cabinet to make the server directly exchange heat with the cooling liquid. When the server needs to be maintained, the cooling liquid on the server needs to be cleaned. The existing cleaning method is generally to spray or soak the server with cleaning agent.

[0003] Patent No. CN109365382B discloses a server cleaning device and a cleaning method thereof. The server cleaning device includes a box body and an electric control device. A liftable liquid storage tank, a server loading plate and a drying device are arranged in the box body. The server loading plate has a supporting surface for supporting the server. The liquid storage tank is located directly below the supporting surface. The electric control device controls the liquid storage tank to rise or fall to immerse the server in the cleaning agent in the liquid storage tank or separate the server from the cleaning agent. The drying device is controlled to dry the server after the server is separated from the cleaning agent.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device only immerses the server in the cleaning liquid and does not have the function of accelerating the separation of the cooling liquid from the server. After immersing the server in the cleaning agent, the cooling liquid on the server needs to be completely separated slowly, which is time-consuming. Content of the utility model

[0005] In order to further accelerate the speed of separating the cooling liquid from the server, the present application provides a server cleaning vehicle.

[0006] The server cleaning vehicle provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0007] A server cleaning vehicle includes a vehicle body, a cleaning box, a liquid storage tank, a circulating pump and a liquid discharge valve.
