Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server component technology, specifically to a server chassis structure. Background Technology

[0002] As server performance continues to improve, so does the heat generated. To address this issue, in addition to traditional air cooling, some manufacturers are adding water cooling systems to their servers. Water cooling systems consist of components such as a water block, a water tank, and a radiator connected by water pipes. The water block directly contacts heat-generating components like the CPU to absorb heat, the water tank stores circulating water, and the radiator releases the heat from the circulating water through heat exchange with the air. However, server chassis typically have limited capacity and do not provide space for installing water cooling components, leaving them exposed and disrupting the server's original clean and square appearance. Utility Model Content

[0029] The principle of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] This utility model proposes a server chassis structure, including a chassis 1. The chassis 1 includes a front panel 11, a rear panel 12, a left side panel 13, a right side panel 14, a top panel 15, and a bottom panel (not shown in the attached drawings).

The internal space of the chassis 1 is divided into a left chamber 2 and a right chamber 3. The left chamber 2 is used to install the server motherboard 4, and the right chamber 3 is used to install the radiator. The top fan array 152 is used for exhaust. External air enters the chassis 1 through the front main air intake grille 111, exchanges heat with the server motherboard 4 and the radiator, and is then discharged from the chassis 1 through the top exhaust grille 151. The server chassis structure can accommodate the radiator of the water cooling system in one chamber of the chassis 1, and simultaneously exhausts the heat from the server motherboard 4 and the radiator from the chassis 1 using top exhaust, thereby enhancing the server's heat dissipation capacity while maintaining a clean appearance.

Here, the left fan array 132 and the right fan array 142 can both be configured to exhaust air outwards, or one can be configured to intake air while the other exhausts air. Specifically, this can be determined according to the location of the server. If there are obstructions outside the chassis, it will lead to poor ventilation and easily generate wind noise. In addition, at the ventilation gap 41, the airflow can flow smoothly between the left chamber 2 and the right chamber 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the rear panel 12 is provided with a rear grille 121, and a rear fan array 122 is provided on the side of the rear grille 121 near the radiator.
