Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of computer room environment control technology, specifically a moisture-proof device for computer room servers. Background Technology

[0002] Servers in data centers require strict control over ambient humidity during operation; excessive humidity can lead to short circuits or performance degradation. Existing technology discloses a high-heat-dissipation server for supply chain management, disclosed in patent number CN112363574B. This solution achieves internal moisture protection and heat dissipation by incorporating a protective cover, filter rack, absorbent cotton, a first filter, and a second filter. However, this solution focuses on heat dissipation design, relying on physical adsorption materials like absorbent cotton for dehumidification. When the absorbent cotton reaches saturation, it requires frequent replacement, making it difficult to meet the humidity control requirements of long-term continuous operation. Furthermore, while the filter rack fixing method facilitates filter replacement, it still presents challenges in practical operation and maintenance, resulting in complex operations and low maintenance efficiency, hindering large-scale deployment and automated maintenance requirements.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a moisture-proof device for server rooms to solve the problems of dynamic humidity control and low maintenance efficiency mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the issues mentioned in the background art regarding short circuits or performance degradation of server equipment due to excessive humidity during operation, as well as the problems of frequent replacement, difficulty in achieving long-term dynamic humidity control, and low maintenance efficiency associated with existing technologies that rely on physical adsorption materials such as absorbent cotton for dehumidification, a moisture-proof device for server equipment in a data center is provided to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0005] The specific technical solution of the moisture-proof device for computer room servers of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A moisture-proof device for a server in a data center includes a housing, a baffle plate, a condensation unit, a drainage mechanism, and an auxiliary ventilation unit. The housing is a closed structure with an internal mounting cavity for accommodating the server. A baffle plate is located on the top of the housing and is fixed to the housing by bolts. Multiple drainage grooves are formed on the lower surface of the baffle plate, which are evenly distributed longitudinally to guide the flow of condensate.

[0007] A condensation unit is provided on the side wall of the housing. The condensation unit includes a cooling fin and a heat sink. The cooling fin is attached to the inner wall of the housing, and the heat sink is located on the outer side of the housing and connected to the cooling fin through thermally conductive silicone. A cooling fan is provided on the outer side of the heat sink and is fixed to the outer wall of the housing by a bracket.

[0008] The bottom of the shell is equipped with a drainage mechanism, which includes a collection tank and a drainage pipe. The collection tank is welded to the inner side of the bottom of the shell. The end of the guide channel is connected to the collection tank. One end of the drainage pipe is threaded to the bottom of the collection tank, and the other end extends to the outside of the shell and is connected to the external drainage system.

[0009] An auxiliary ventilation unit is provided on the front side of the housing. The auxiliary ventilation unit includes an air inlet and an air outlet. The air inlet and air outlet are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the front side of the housing. A first filter screen is installed at the air inlet and a second filter screen is installed at the air outlet. Both the first filter screen and the second filter screen are fixed to the housing by clips.

[0010] Furthermore, there are two sets of cooling chips, symmetrically arranged on the inner walls of both sides of the housing. The cooling operating voltage is 12V. The cold end of the cooling chip is attached to the inner wall of the housing. There are two cooling fans, symmetrically arranged on the outer walls of both sides of the housing. The cooling fans are bolted to the outer wall of the housing via brackets. The brackets are made of stainless steel.

[0011] Furthermore, the liquid collection tank is rectangular, and a drain hole is provided at the bottom of the liquid collection tank. The inner wall of the drain hole is threaded, and the drain pipe is connected to the drain hole through the thread. The drain pipe is made of PVC.

[0012] Furthermore, both the first and second filter screens are made of polypropylene fiber, and the outer frames of the first and second filter screens are made of ABS plastic. The outer frames are equipped with buckles around their perimeter, and the buckles are elastically connected to the outer frames by springs.

[0013] Furthermore, the shell is made of galvanized steel sheet, the inner wall of the shell is coated with an anti-rust coating, and the outer wall of the shell is coated with a heat-insulating coating.

[0014] The moisture-proof device for server rooms of this invention has the following advantages:

[0015] By installing a guide plate on the top of the casing and creating multiple guide grooves on the lower surface of the guide plate, condensate is concentrated and guided to a collection tank, preventing condensate from accumulating on the inner wall of the casing and thus reducing the impact of moisture on the server. The cooling fins in the condensation unit lower the temperature of the inner wall of the casing through cooling, causing moisture in the air to condense into water droplets, achieving a dynamic dehumidification effect without the need for frequent replacement of the absorbent material. The drainage mechanism discharges condensate to the outside of the casing through the collection tank and drainage pipe, preventing water accumulation from causing secondary damage to the equipment. The auxiliary ventilation unit improves heat dissipation efficiency through the rational arrangement of air inlets and outlets. The inner and outer walls of the casing are coated with anti-rust coatings and heat-insulating coatings, respectively, enhancing the durability and heat insulation performance of the device and extending its service life.

[0026] This utility model's server moisture-proof device achieves effective control of server environmental humidity through specific structural design and component coordination. The following is in conjunction with the appendix... Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail with reference to the component numbers marked in the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Firstly, according to Figure 1 The overall structural diagram shows that the housing 1 serves as the main frame of the entire device. It is a closed structure with sufficient strength to protect the internal server equipment. The housing 1 is made of galvanized steel sheet, with an anti-rust coating on the inner wall and a heat-insulating coating on the outer wall. This design not only effectively prevents the housing 1 from rusting due to long-term use, but also reduces the transfer of external heat to the interior of the housing 1.

[0029] The deflector plate 2 is fixed to the top of the housing 1 and connected by six carbon steel bolts. Anti-loosening adhesive is applied to the bolt heads to ensure a stable connection. The deflector plate 2 is made of aluminum alloy, and its lower surface has multiple deflector grooves 3. Figure 3 The enlarged view shows that the end of the guide channel 3 is inclined toward the liquid collection tank 8. This design allows the condensate to flow along the guide channel 3 and eventually converge into the liquid collection tank 8.

[0030] The condenser unit 4 is one of the core components of this device, and it consists of two parts: a cooling plate 5 and a heat sink 6. From... Figure 4 The exploded structural diagram clearly shows that the cooling element 5 is attached to the inner wall of the housing 1. The cold end of the cooling element 5 is in contact with the inner wall of the housing 1, while the hot end is connected to the heat sink 6 via thermally conductive silicone. The heat sink 6 is located on the outer side of the housing 1, and two cooling fans 7 are mounted on the outer side of the heat sink 6. The two cooling fans 7 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the outer wall of the housing 1, and each cooling fan 7 has a drive motor at one end. The cooling fans 7 are fixed by a bracket made of stainless steel. The working principle of the condensation unit 4 is to lower the temperature of the inner wall of the housing 1 by the cooling element 5, so that the moisture in the air condenses into water droplets when it comes into contact with the low-temperature inner wall, thereby achieving a dynamic dehumidification effect.

[0031] The drainage mechanism consists of a collection tank 8 and a drainage pipe 9. For its specific structure, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 5 The diagram shows the condensate collection tank 8, which is welded to the inner bottom of the housing 1. The tank has a rectangular structure, and a drain hole is located at its bottom. The inner wall of the drain hole is threaded for connection to the drain pipe 9. One end of the drain pipe 9 is threaded to the drain hole, and the other end extends to the outside of the housing 1 and connects to the external drainage system. The drain pipe 9 is made of PVC, which has good corrosion resistance and sealing performance. This design ensures that condensate is effectively collected and discharged from the housing 1 through the drain pipe 9, preventing water accumulation from causing secondary damage to the equipment.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] An auxiliary ventilation unit 10 was added based on embodiment 1. The auxiliary ventilation unit 10 includes an air inlet 11 and an air outlet 12, which are respectively located at the upper and lower ends of the front side of the housing 1.

[0034] The air inlet 11 is equipped with a first filter 13, and the air outlet 12 is equipped with a second filter 14. Both the first filter 13 and the second filter 14 are made of polypropylene fiber, with a filtration accuracy of 5μm, effectively filtering dust particles from the air entering the housing 1. The outer frames of the first filter 13 and the second filter 14 are made of ABS plastic, with a thickness of 3mm, and are equipped with clips around the perimeter. The clips are elastically connected to the outer frame by springs. This design allows the first filter 13 and the second filter 14 to be quickly disassembled and replaced, improving maintenance efficiency.

[0035] During actual operation, when the server generates heat, causing the internal temperature of the casing 1 to rise, the condensing unit 4 activates the cooling coil 5. The cold end of the cooling coil 5 lowers the temperature of the inner wall of the casing 1, causing moisture in the air to condense into water droplets upon contact with the low-temperature inner wall. These water droplets flow along the guide grooves 3 on the guide plate 2 and eventually converge into the collection tank 8, then are discharged outside the casing 1 through the drain pipe 9. Simultaneously, the auxiliary ventilation unit 10 introduces air filtered by the first filter 13 through the air inlet 11. After flowing inside the casing 1, the air is discharged from the air outlet 12 and filtered again by the second filter 14. The guide plates on the inner sides of the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 guide the airflow to form a reasonable flow path, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. Throughout the entire process, the cooling fan 7 of the condensing unit 4 continuously operates, quickly removing the heat dissipated by the heat sink 6, ensuring the normal operation of the condensing unit 4.

[0036] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
