Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, specifically to a distributed server rack under an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. Background Technology
[0002] Distributed server racks are a critical infrastructure for deploying distributed server architectures in modern data centers and cloud computing environments. They are designed to support high-density computing, efficient heat dissipation, flexible expansion, and convenient management.
[0003] The application of IoT technology in server racks is mainly used to achieve intelligent management of equipment and environment, improve the operational efficiency, security and energy efficiency of data centers, especially operating temperature. This data is collected by IoT temperature sensors and transmitted to the data center intelligent management platform via wireless network, enabling real-time monitoring and analysis of information. This helps maintenance personnel to keep abreast of the rack's operating status and adjust the server rack's operating status accordingly.
[0004] The existing server racks in the data center maintain the server operating temperature by cooling the entire room. However, the heat exchange treatment is not targeted enough, resulting in some of the cooling capacity being consumed in non-critical areas, leading to low energy utilization.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a distributed server rack under the Internet of Things architecture is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a distributed server rack under the Internet of Things architecture, in which cool air enters and exits the working chambers through separate channels, and the ventilation volume in each working chamber can be individually adjusted, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a distributed server rack under an Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, comprising a rack body, wherein partitions are uniformly and fixedly installed inside the rack body, the partitions dividing the interior of the rack body into working chambers, IoT temperature sensors are fixedly installed on the upper side of each working chamber, main ventilation ducts are fixedly installed on both sides of the rack body, and branch ventilation ducts are connected to the rear side of the main ventilation ducts, both sides of the working chamber are connected to the branch ventilation ducts through slots, and air guide boxes are slidably installed inside the branch ventilation ducts, the front side and the side near the rack body of the air guide boxes are open, a baffle is fixedly installed on the rear side of the air guide boxes, the baffle abuts against the side wall of the rack body, and a drive component for moving the air guide boxes is installed on the upper side of the partitions.
[0008] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a dual-output shaft motor, gears, and a rack. The upper side of each partition is fixedly mounted with a dual-output shaft motor, and the output ends of each dual-output shaft motor are fixedly mounted with gears via transmission rods. The bottom inner side of the air guide box is fixedly mounted with a rack, and the lower side of each gear meshes with the rack.
[0009] Furthermore, a pair of bearing seats are fixedly installed on the upper surface of each partition, and the bearing seats are rotatably assembled with the transmission rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a pair of light rods are fixedly installed on the rear side of each of the air guide boxes, and U-shaped frames aligned with the ventilation ducts are evenly fixedly installed on both sides of the main body of the cabinet. The baffles are inserted into the U-shaped frames, and the U-shaped frames are equipped with linear bearings for passing through the light rods.
[0011] Specifically, each partition has a rectangular groove, a rubber support plate is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inner side of the rectangular groove, a first groove is evenly provided on the front side of the rubber support plate, a rubber clamping plate is snapped into the front side of the inner side of the rectangular groove, and a second groove is evenly provided on the rear side of the rubber clamping plate opposite to the first groove. The aligned first and second grooves form a complete cylindrical groove.
[0012] Furthermore, the sidewalls of the rubber support plate and the rubber clamp plate that are far apart from each other are provided with flanges.
[0013] Furthermore, a C-shaped rubber sleeve is installed inside the cylindrical groove.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The servers housed in the working chambers of each rack do not exchange temperatures with each other.

[0017] 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.
[0018] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This utility model provides a technical solution: a distributed server rack under the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture, including a rack body 2. The rack body 2 is mainly composed of a cabinet and a cabinet door. The interior of the rack body 2 is uniformly fixed with partitions 5 from top to bottom. Each partition 5 is horizontally set and the partitions 5 divide the interior of the rack body 2 to form a working cavity. The working cavity is equipped with stackable electrical brackets to install servers. The upper side of each working cavity is fixedly installed with an IoT temperature sensor 11. The IoT temperature sensor 11 is used to collect the temperature in each working cavity in real time and transmit the information to the outside.
[0019] Both sides of the main cabinet body 2 are fixedly installed with main ventilation ducts 1. The upper end of the left main ventilation duct 1 is used to connect to the cooling air supply system, and the right main ventilation duct 1 is used to connect to the heat recovery system. The main ventilation duct 1 is located near the front of the main cabinet body 2 and is vertically arranged. The rear side of the main ventilation duct 1 is connected to and installed with a branch ventilation duct 6. The branch ventilation duct 6 is horizontally arranged. Both sides of the working chamber are connected to the branch ventilation duct 6 through slots 9. The air guide box 12 is slidably installed inside the branch ventilation duct 6. The front side and the side near the main cabinet body 2 of the air guide box 12 are open. The branch ventilation duct 6, the air guide box 12 and the slot 9 are used to connect the working chamber and the main ventilation duct 1.
[0020] A baffle 14 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the air guide box 12. The baffle 14 abuts against the side wall of the cabinet body 2. A drive assembly for moving the air guide box 12 is installed on the upper side of the partition 5. The drive assembly is used to move the air guide box 12 back and forth in the branch ventilation duct 6. When working together with the baffle 14, it can change the area of the shielding slot 9 and match the ventilation volume according to the heat exchange requirements.
[0021] Please see Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a dual-shaft motor 10, a gear 8, and a rack 7. The dual-shaft motor 10 is an existing motor device with output shafts at both ends. The dual-shaft motor 10 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the partition 5 by bolt connection. The output ends of the dual-shaft motor 10 are fixedly installed with gears 8 through transmission rods 4. The rack 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner side of the air guide box 12. The lower side of the gear 8 meshes with the rack 7. When the dual-shaft motor 10 rotates the gear 8 in the forward and reverse directions through the transmission rods 4, the meshing rack 7 can achieve the purpose of moving the air guide box 12 back and forth.
[0022] A pair of bearing seats 3 are fixedly installed on the upper surface of the partition plate 5. The bearing seats 3 are rotatably assembled with the transmission rod 4. The bearing seat 3 is an existing component composed of a seat body and bearings, etc., used to support the part of the transmission rod 4 near the slot 9. Therefore, the rotational connection of the bearings does not affect the rotation of the transmission rod 4.
[0023] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 Each air guide box 12 has a pair of light rods 15 fixedly installed on its rear side. U-shaped frames 13 aligned with the ventilation ducts 6 are evenly fixedly installed on both sides of the main body 2. Baffles 14 are inserted into the U-shaped frames 13 without affecting the forward and backward movement of the baffles 14. The U-shaped frames 13 are equipped with linear bearings for passing through the light rods 15. The light rods 15 move back and forth with the air guide boxes 12. The U-shaped frames 13 and linear bearings are used to support the light rods 15, thereby ensuring the stability of the forward and backward movement of the air guide boxes 12.
[0024] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 7 Each partition 5 has a rectangular groove. A rubber support plate 19 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the rectangular groove. A first groove 16 is evenly provided on the front side of the rubber support plate 19. A rubber clamping plate 17 is snapped into the front side of the rectangular groove. A second groove 18 opposite to the first groove 16 is evenly provided on the rear side of the rubber clamping plate 17. The aligned first groove 16 and second groove 18 form a complete cylindrical groove. The snap-fit rubber clamping plate 17 is easy to install and remove. The formed cylindrical groove is used to clamp the passing cable, thereby maintaining the sealing between adjacent working chambers.
[0025] Both the rubber support plate 19 and the rubber clamping plate 17 have flanges on their mutually distant sidewalls. The flanges on the rubber support plate 19 are used to quickly and accurately install the rubber support plate 19 into the rectangular groove and fix it therein by adhesive. The flanges on the rubber clamping plate 17 are used to limit the installation position and prevent the rubber support plate 19 from passing through the rectangular groove during installation, thereby improving the ease of installation.
[0026] In addition, a C-shaped rubber sleeve 21 is installed in the cylindrical groove. The C-shaped rubber sleeve 21 is a rubber cylinder with convex rings at both ends and a through slot. By replacing the C-shaped rubber sleeve 21 with different inner diameters, cables of different diameters can be wrapped, which can improve the adaptability of use.
[0027] The working principle of this embodiment: The IoT temperature sensor 11, dual-shaft motor 10 and other electrical components are electrically connected to the data center intelligent management platform for unified control; the data center intelligent management platform is an existing system composed of servers, GPU accelerators, hard disk arrays, high-speed switches and other components.
[0028] During assembly, separate air supply and exhaust duct systems are installed on the top of the computer room. The main ventilation duct 1 on the left side of each cabinet body 2 is connected to the air supply duct system through an insulated pipe, and the main ventilation duct 1 on the right side is connected to the exhaust duct system through an insulated pipe. The partitions 5 are sealed with structures such as rubber support plates 19, rubber clamps 17 and C-shaped rubber sleeves 21 to keep the working chambers temperature isolated.
[0029] During operation, the central air conditioning system delivers cold air into the air supply duct system. The air guide box 12 can introduce the cold air in the left main ventilation duct 1 into the working chamber through the left branch ventilation duct 6 and slot 9 respectively. After exchanging heat with the internal server, the cold air is discharged from the right slot 9, branch ventilation duct 6 and right main ventilation duct 1 in sequence, and finally discharged through the exhaust duct system, which can reduce the loss of cold air caused by contact between hot and cold air.
[0030] Based on the temperature of each working chamber collected by the IoT temperature sensor 11, the area of the shielding slot 9 can be adjusted via the drive component to change the ventilation volume. That is, the higher the temperature in the working chamber, the smaller the area of the shielding slot 9 and the greater the ventilation volume; conversely, the lower the temperature in the working chamber, the larger the area of the shielding slot 9 and the smaller the ventilation volume. This allows for the allocation of appropriate cooling capacity to key areas, enabling precise control as needed and achieving energy saving.
[0031] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0032] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
