Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server technology, specifically to a server with an overheat alarm. Background Technology
[0002] As the core equipment for data storage, processing and transmission, servers are widely used in various fields. As the performance of servers continues to improve, the integration of their internal components becomes higher and higher, and the power consumption also increases. This causes servers to generate a lot of heat during operation. If heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the internal temperature of the server will continue to rise, leading to a series of serious problems. Therefore, it is necessary to enable servers to have an overheat alarm function. However, existing servers still have certain defects in use.
[0003] For example, the server cooling system proposed in application number CN202323374102.3 includes: a server rack, multiple loads, and multiple cooling devices. The multiple cooling devices are used to adapt to the different heat generation and cooling requirements of various loads. The server rack has multiple separated and heat-insulated installation areas. Each installation area is equipped with a load and a cooling device corresponding to the type of load. In actual use, although the server uses multiple sets of heat dissipation structures to dissipate heat internally, when the heat dissipation structure is damaged or cannot effectively dissipate the generated heat, it cannot provide timely alarm reminders. This leads to damage to the internal components of the server due to high temperature, reducing the safety of use. At the same time, the existing server shell is connected by bolts, which makes disassembly and assembly difficult and cumbersome when maintaining the internal parts of the server.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a server with an overheat alarm to address the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a server with an overheat alarm, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenience of overheat alarm and the difficulty of disassembly and assembly during maintenance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a server with an overheat alarm, comprising a casing, slide rails fixedly installed on both sides of the casing, mounting angle plates fixedly connected to the front ends of the slide rails, connecting plates symmetrically installed on the inner side of the front end of the casing, a hard disk mounting frame fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plates, hard disk bodies evenly distributed inside the hard disk mounting frame, a heat dissipation mesh fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting plates, a motherboard connected to the top of the hard disk mounting frame, the two ends of the motherboard being fixedly connected to the connecting plates by bolts, and a processor mounted on the top surface of the motherboard;
[0007] A protective plate is installed on the top front end of the outer casing;
[0008] An overheat alarm mechanism is installed on the bottom surface of the protective plate for overheat alarm purposes;
[0009] A cover plate is slidably connected to the top rear end of the outer casing;
[0010] The positioning and connecting mechanism is symmetrically arranged at the connection between the cover plate and the protective plate to connect and separate the two.
[0011] Preferably, the overheat alarm mechanism includes a circuit board bolted to the bottom surface of the protective plate. The surface of the circuit board is respectively equipped with a NOT gate integrated circuit, a potentiometer, a buzzer and a thermistor. The terminals of the circuit board are connected to a battery module through a wire harness. The battery module is fixedly connected to the protective plate.
[0012] Preferably, the thermistor will sound an alarm when it senses overheating, and the connector of the battery module is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation mesh.
[0013] The above-described design integrates a NOT gate integrated circuit, a potentiometer, a buzzer, and a thermistor on the circuit board to construct a complete overheat monitoring circuit. The thermistor can sense the internal temperature of the server in real time. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold of the potentiometer, its resistance change triggers the NOT gate integrated circuit to conduct, and the buzzer immediately sounds an alarm, achieving accurate monitoring and immediate response to overheating conditions, thus avoiding equipment damage caused by failure to handle abnormal temperatures in a timely manner.
[0014] Preferably, an elastic bracket is fixedly installed at the middle of the rear end of the protective plate, and a plug-in plate is fixedly installed at the middle of the front end of the cover plate, wherein the plug-in plate and the elastic bracket form an elastic snap-fit structure.
[0015] With the above-mentioned structural design, the plug-in plate at the front end of the cover plate and the elastic bracket of the protective plate form an elastic snap-fit structure. When installing the cover plate, the plug-in plate can be quickly inserted into the elastic bracket, and the initial positioning is achieved through elastic deformation, which reduces the difficulty of alignment during installation and improves assembly efficiency.
[0016] Preferably, the positioning and connecting mechanism includes positioning rods fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the cover plate, a movable plate slidably sleeved on the outer ring of the positioning rod, a spring sleeved on the outer ring of the positioning rod at the bottom of the movable plate, a button fixedly installed in the middle of the movable plate, the button being slidably connected to the cover plate through it, a locking block fixedly installed on the top surface of the front end of the movable plate, and locking grooves opened on both sides of the rear end of the protective plate.
[0017] Preferably, the movable plate forms a telescopic structure with a spring and a positioning rod, and the movable plate forms a movable engaging structure with a locking block and a locking groove.
[0018] With the above-described structure, pressing the button drives the movable plate to compress the spring, causing the locking block to disengage from the slot, thus achieving rapid separation of the cover plate and the protective plate. When the button is released, the spring returns to its original position, pushing the movable plate, and the locking block automatically engages with the slot to complete the fixation. This significantly reduces the difficulty of disassembly and assembly during maintenance and shortens maintenance time.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the server with overheat alarm;
[0020] 1. By integrating a thermistor, buzzer, and independently powered battery module, real-time and accurate monitoring of the server's internal temperature is achieved. When the temperature exceeds the preset threshold, the buzzer immediately sounds an alarm, which can promptly remind maintenance personnel when the heat dissipation system fails or malfunctions, avoiding damage to core components such as processors and hard drives due to high temperatures, reducing the risk of data loss, and improving the stability and reliability of the system.
[0021] 2. The pre-positioning structure of the elastic card holder and plug-in plate, combined with the tool-free quick-release mechanism consisting of the positioning rod, spring and card block, enables the rapid installation and separation of the cover plate and protective plate. During maintenance, disassembly and assembly can be completed simply by pressing a button, which greatly shortens the maintenance time. The guiding role of the positioning rod and the reset function of the spring ensure accurate and stable connection, avoiding the thread stripping or component wear problems that may occur with traditional bolt fixing methods, and improving the durability and ease of use of the overall server structure.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0031] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: a server with an overheat alarm, including a shell 1, slide rails 2 fixedly installed on both sides of the shell 1, mounting angle plates 3 fixedly connected to the front end of the slide rails 2, connecting plates 4 symmetrically installed on the inner side of the front end of the shell 1, hard disk mounting frame 5 fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 4, hard disk bodies 6 evenly distributed inside the hard disk mounting frame 5, heat dissipation mesh 7 fixedly connected to the front end of the connecting plate 4, motherboard 8 connected to the top of the hard disk mounting frame 5, the two ends of the motherboard 8 fixedly connected to the connecting plate 4 by bolts, and a processor 9 installed on the top surface of the motherboard 8;
[0032] In the above structural design, the outer shell 1 serves as the main frame of the server, providing physical support and protection for the internal components. The side rails 2 are used for quick installation or disassembly to achieve modular maintenance, while the mounting corner plate 3 can be fixedly connected to the cabinet to achieve overall stable installation of the server.
[0033] The connecting plate 4 is symmetrically installed on the inner front side of the outer casing 1, serving as a support carrier for the hard drive mounting frame 5 and the motherboard 8. The hard drive mounting frame 5 is fixed to the connecting plate 4 with bolts. The internal equidistant design accommodates multiple hard drive bodies 6, realizing the centralized installation of data storage modules. The heat dissipation mesh 7 at its front end dissipates heat to the outside through natural heat dissipation. The motherboard 8 is fixed to the inner side of the connecting plate 4 with bolts, forming an upper and lower layered layout with the hard drive mounting frame 5. The processor 9 on the top surface serves as the computing core, working in conjunction with the hard drive bodies 6 through the circuitry of the motherboard 8 to complete data processing and instruction execution.
[0034] A protective plate 10 is installed on the top front end of the outer casing 1. An overheat alarm mechanism is installed on the bottom surface of the protective plate 10 for overheat alarm. The overheat alarm mechanism includes a circuit board 11 bolted to the bottom surface of the protective plate 10. A NOT gate integrated circuit 12, a potentiometer 13, a buzzer 14 and a thermistor 15 are respectively installed on the surface of the circuit board 11. The terminals of the circuit board 11 are connected to a battery module 16 through a wire harness. The battery module 16 is fixedly connected to the protective plate 10. When the thermistor 15 senses overheating, the buzzer 14 will sound an alarm. The connector of the battery module 16 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation mesh 7.
[0035] In the above structure design, the thermistor 15 monitors the internal temperature of the server in real time and converts the temperature signal into a change in resistance value. The potentiometer 13 is used to preset the temperature threshold. When the actual temperature exceeds the threshold, the resistance of the thermistor 15 decreases, triggering the NOT gate integrated circuit 12 to flip the logic state, making the originally disconnected circuit conduct. At this time, the battery module 16 supplies power to the buzzer 14, causing it to emit a buzzer alarm. The circuit board 11 integrates various electronic components and forms a complete signal transmission and execution loop through wiring harnesses, realizing full-process automation of temperature sensing, signal processing and alarm output.
[0036] A cover plate 17 is slidably connected to the top rear end of the outer shell 1. An elastic seat 18 is fixedly installed in the middle rear end of the protective plate 10. A plug-in plate 19 is fixedly installed in the middle front end of the cover plate 17. The plug-in plate 19 and the elastic seat 18 form an elastic snap-fit structure. A positioning connection mechanism is symmetrically arranged at the connection between the cover plate 17 and the protective plate 10 for connecting and separating the two. The positioning connection mechanism includes positioning rods 20 fixedly installed on both sides of the front end of the cover plate 17. A movable plate 21 is slidably sleeved on the outer ring of the positioning rod 20. A spring 22 is sleeved on the outer ring of the positioning rod 20 at the bottom of the movable plate 21. The movable plate 21 and the positioning rod 20 form a telescopic structure through the spring 22. A button 23 is fixedly installed in the middle of the movable plate 21. The button 23 is slidably connected to the cover plate 17. A locking block 24 is fixedly installed on the top front end of the movable plate 21. Slots 25 are opened on both sides of the rear end of the protective plate 10. The movable plate 21 forms a movable snap-fit structure through the locking block 24 and the slots 25.
[0037] In the above-described structure, when the cover plate 17 is installed, the plug plate 19 is inserted into the elastic retainer 18. The elastic retainer 18 deforms under pressure, generating an inward clamping force. When the plug plate 19 is fully inserted, the elastic retainer 18 resets and locks the plug plate 19, forming a stable locking state. When disassembling, the cover plate 17 is pulled, and the elastic deformation of the elastic retainer 18 allows the plug plate 19 to disengage. The elastic potential energy is used to achieve rapid positioning and separation without the need for additional external force.
[0038] When button 23 is pressed, the movable plate 21 slides down along the positioning rod 20, compressing the spring 22 and causing the locking block 24 to disengage from the slot 25 of the protective plate 10. At this time, the cover plate 17 can be freely slidably removed. After button 23 is released, the spring 22 releases its elastic potential energy to push the movable plate 21 back to its original position, and the locking block 24 re-enters the slot 25 to complete the fixation. The positioning rod 20 provides a linear guide for the movable plate 21 to ensure that the locking block 24 and the slot 25 are precisely aligned. The extension and retraction characteristics of the spring 22 make the connection state both flexible and stable.
[0039] This completes a series of tasks. The contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
[0040] Although the present invention 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. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
