These emergency response measures effectively improve the computer room's ability to respond to emergencies, reducing losses and risks. Compared to traditional computer room security early warning systems, this invention offers more comprehensive emergency response capabilities, better ensuring the safe operation of the computer room.

The water leakage detection strip is laid around the perimeter of the floor of the data center 6. The smoke sensor is installed in the center of the ceiling of the data center 6.

[0023] The power monitoring module 2 is connected to the power distribution cabinet 7 and the central control unit 3;

[0024] The central control unit 3 includes a processor, which is connected to the environmental monitoring module 1 and the power monitoring module 2 respectively.

[0025] The alarm module 4 includes an audible and visual alarm and an SMS transmitter. The audible and visual alarm is installed at the entrance and exit of the computer room 6, and the SMS transmitter is connected to the central control unit 3 via a 4G module.

[0026] The early warning system of this utility model also includes an emergency handling module 5, which includes an automatic fire extinguishing device, an air conditioning control module, and a power cut-off device. The solenoid valve of the automatic fire extinguishing device is connected to the central control unit 3 via a relay interface.

[0027] The automatic fire extinguishing device of this utility model includes a fire extinguishing agent storage tank and a fan-shaped nozzle. The fire extinguishing agent storage tank is connected to the fan-shaped nozzle through a solenoid valve. The control coil of the solenoid valve is connected to a 24V DC power supply after a series fuse is blown.

[0028] The leakage detection strip of this utility model adopts a double-layer conductive rubber structure. The outer layer is an insulating rubber layer, and the inner layer contains copper foil electrodes arranged at 2cm intervals. The electrodes are connected to the input port of the central control unit 3 through shielded twisted pair cables.

[0029] The power monitoring module 2 of this utility model includes a current transformer, a voltage sampler, and a power analyzer. The current transformer is mounted on the main busbar of the distribution cabinet 7, the voltage sampler is connected in parallel to the output terminal of the distribution cabinet 7, and the power analyzer is connected to the central control unit 3 via an RS-485 bus.

[0030] The workflow of the data center security early warning system provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0031] After the system starts up, the environmental monitoring module 1 and the power monitoring module 2 begin to monitor the environmental and power parameters of the computer room 6 in real time. Temperature sensors, humidity sensors, water leakage detection strips, and smoke sensors acquire temperature, humidity, water leakage, and smoke data in the computer room 6, respectively, and transmit these data to the central control unit 3; current transformers, voltage samplers, and power analyzers acquire power parameters such as current, voltage, and power in the computer room 6, and transmit the data to the central control unit 3.

[0032] After receiving the monitoring data, the central control unit 3 performs real-time analysis and processing. It compares environmental parameters with preset thresholds to determine if the environmental conditions are abnormal; and it analyzes power parameters to determine if there are any faults or abnormalities in the power system.

[0033] When the central control unit 3 detects abnormal environmental or power parameters, it immediately activates the alarm module 4. An audible and visual alarm is emitted at the entrance / exit of the computer room 6 to alert on-site personnel; the SMS transmitter sends a text message notification to management personnel via the 4G module, informing them of specific information about the abnormal situation, such as excessive temperature, excessive humidity, water leakage detection, smoke detection, or abnormal power parameters.

[0034] Meanwhile, the central control unit 3 activates corresponding emergency response measures based on the type and severity of the abnormal situation. If smoke is detected as a fire, the solenoid valve of the automatic fire extinguishing device receives a control signal from the central control unit 3 via a relay and opens rapidly. The fire extinguishing agent in the storage tank is then sprayed into the computer room 6 through fan-shaped nozzles for automatic fire extinguishing. If there is a temperature anomaly, the air conditioning control module receives a control signal from the central control unit 3 and adjusts the air conditioning operation, such as adjusting the temperature, turning the air conditioning on or off, to improve the temperature environment in the computer room 6. If there is an abnormal power parameter and a safety hazard exists, the power cut-off device receives a control signal from the central control unit 3 and promptly cuts off the power to the computer room 6 to prevent the accident from escalating.

[0035] During emergency response, environmental monitoring module 1 and power monitoring module 2 continue to monitor the status of computer room 6 in real time. The central control unit 3 adjusts emergency response measures promptly based on changes in the monitoring data until the environmental and power parameters of computer room 6 return to normal. If the abnormal situation is resolved, the system automatically returns to normal monitoring status; if the abnormal situation persists or worsens, the central control unit 3 will continue to take corresponding measures and promptly notify management personnel for manual intervention to ensure the safe operation of computer room 6.

[0036] The accompanying drawings merely illustrate the technical concept of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and all such improvements and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
