Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, specifically to a server with balanced cooling. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of information technology and the explosive growth of the knowledge economy, various data storage and computing centers have been established in large numbers to meet the need for data storage and processing. When multiple servers are housed in a single server chassis, not only is space saved and management easier, but multiple servers can also work together to execute large computing projects. Therefore, server chassis are widely used in the construction of data storage and computing centers. As the core computing device in network architecture, the technological evolution of servers has always revolved around data processing capabilities, reliability, and resource scalability.

[0003] In rack-mount servers, uneven temperatures at the top and bottom of the server body, coupled with temperature variations at both ends of the rack due to differences in the condition and temperature of the internal hard drives, result in overall temperature differences within the server. The harder drives, which are consistently hotter, remain in a high-temperature state, leading to poor heat dissipation and potential damage over time. To address these issues, this invention provides a server with balanced cooling to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a server with balanced cooling, which solves the problem that in rack-mounted servers, the uneven temperature at the top and bottom of the server body, and the different temperatures at both ends of the rack due to the different states and temperatures of the internal hard drives, result in a temperature difference throughout the server, with the hotter hard drive area remaining in a high-temperature state, leading to poor heat dissipation and potential damage to the hard drives over time.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a server with balanced cooling, comprising a server body, wherein an adjustable heat dissipation duct is provided within the server body. The adjustable heat dissipation duct is generally wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. An air outlet slot, an air baffle, and an adjustable air plate are provided inside the adjustable heat dissipation duct. The air outlet slot is located at both ends of the adjustable heat dissipation duct and gradually narrows from top to bottom. The air baffle is installed inside the adjustable heat dissipation duct and is used to evenly divide the adjustable heat dissipation duct into two groups of internal air channels. The adjustable air plate is rotatably connected to the top of the air baffle and is used to rotate according to the temperature of the servers on the left and right sides.

[0006] Preferably, the adjustable heat dissipation duct further includes a guide ramp, which is fixedly connected to the outer end of the adjustable heat dissipation duct and installed at the bottom of the air outlet. The guide ramp is installed at a 45-degree angle upwards and is used to blow air into the hard disk area.

[0007] Preferably, a cooling fan is fixedly connected to the top of the server body, and the cooling fan is used to blow airflow into the adjustable cooling duct.

[0008] Preferably, the adjustable cooling duct further includes an upper air outlet, which is fixedly connected to the airflow output end of the cooling fan and is used to connect the adjustable cooling duct and the cooling fan.

[0009] Preferably, the server body is further provided with a rotating motor, which is installed on the side of the adjustable heat dissipation duct and is used to drive the adjustable air plate to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the top of the windbreak plate has a top rotating groove, the bottom of the adjustable wind plate is fixedly connected to a bottom rotating shaft, the bottom rotating shaft is rotatably connected in the top rotating groove, and the bottom rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the power output end of the rotating motor.

[0011] Preferably, a limiting arc groove is formed on the inner wall of the adjustable heat dissipation duct, and a top rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the top of the adjustable air plate, and the top rotating shaft is slidably connected in the limiting arc groove.

[0012] This utility model discloses a server with balanced cooling, which has the following beneficial effects: This server with balanced cooling, by setting up an air duct that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, ensures that the airflow speed within the duct does not gradually decrease with the length of the duct. Furthermore, the increasingly narrow air outlet ensures a consistent airflow speed. This results in more cold air being blown out from the top, completely dispersing the warm airflow within the upward-moving server. The remaining cold air moves downwards, making the temperature of the upper and lower server sections uniform. The baffle plate ensures that the airflow on both sides is initially consistent. When the temperature of one of the server cabinets is detected to be high, the adjustable baffle plate rotates, allowing that cabinet to receive more airflow, thereby achieving a temperature reduction effect.

Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] This application provides a server with balanced cooling, which solves the problem that in rack-mounted servers, the uneven temperature at the top and bottom of the server body, and the different temperatures at both ends of the rack due to the different states and temperatures of the internal hard drives, result in a temperature difference in the overall state of the server. The hard drive area with a higher temperature remains in a high-temperature state, resulting in poor heat dissipation and damage to the hard drive in the long run.

[0022] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0023] This utility model discloses a server with balanced cooling.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] According to the appendix Figure 1-5As shown, the server includes a server body 1, which is cabinet-shaped with two rows of cabinets on the left and right for housing data storage hardware such as hard drives. The design of cabinets at both ends helps to reduce the server's size while increasing its capacity. An adjustable cooling duct 3 is installed inside the server body 1. The adjustable cooling duct 3 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and is located at the center of the server body 1 to cool the hard drives housed in the cabinets on both sides. The adjustable cooling duct 3 includes an air outlet slot 32, an air baffle 36, and an adjustable air vane 35. The air outlet slot 32 is located at both ends of the adjustable cooling duct 3 and gradually narrows from top to bottom. The air baffle 36 is installed inside the adjustable cooling duct 3 and divides it into two groups of internal air ducts. The adjustable air vane 35 is rotatably connected to the top of the air baffle 36. The adjustable fan plate 35 is used to rotate according to the temperature of the servers on the left and right sides. The adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 also includes a guide plate 33, which is fixedly connected to the outer end of the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3. The guide plate 33 is installed at the bottom of the air outlet slot 32 and is installed at an upward angle of 45 degrees. The guide plate 33 is used to blow air into the hard disk area. When in use, the cold airflow is blown from the large room where the server is located into the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 inside the server body 1. The airflow is gradually blown out of the air outlet slot 32 through the increasingly narrow adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 to dissipate heat inside the server body 1. The adjustable heat dissipation duct 3, which is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, prevents the airflow speed from decreasing when it reaches the bottom. The air outlet slot 32 is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, which makes the airflow at the top larger and cools down the heat accumulated at the top of the server.

[0026] A cooling fan 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the server body 1. The cooling fan 2 is used to blow airflow into the adjustable cooling duct 3.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, according to Appendix Figure 1-5 As shown, the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 also includes an upper air outlet 31, which is fixedly connected to the airflow output end of the cooling fan 2. The upper air outlet 31 is used to connect the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 and the cooling fan 2.

[0029] The server body 1 is also equipped with a rotating motor 4, which is installed on the side of the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3. The rotating motor 4 is used to drive the adjustable air plate 35 to rotate. The top of the baffle plate 36 has a top rotating groove 361. The bottom of the adjustable air plate 35 is fixedly connected to a bottom rotating shaft 351, which is rotatably connected in the top rotating groove 361. The bottom rotating shaft 351 is fixedly connected to the power output end of the rotating motor 4. The inner wall of the adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 has a limiting arc groove 34. The top of the adjustable air plate 35 is fixedly connected to a top rotating shaft 352, which is slidably connected in the limiting arc groove 34. The adjustable heat dissipation duct 3 is divided into two air channels by the baffle plate 36, and the air volume in the two air channels is adjusted by the adjustable air plate 35.

[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
