Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of server technology and relates to a fault-tolerant server protection device that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] A fault-tolerant server is a server based on the principle of fault tolerance technology, employing full hardware redundancy. It uses independent chips and software between two sets of hardware to ensure timely switching in case of failure. When data or files are lost or corrupted in a fault-tolerant server system, the system can automatically recover to its normal state before the damage, ensuring normal server operation and demonstrating the server's ability to tolerate errors.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent document disclosing a fault-tolerant server protection device for easy heat dissipation [Application No.: CN202123035160.4; Publication No.: CN216930600U]. This fault-tolerant server includes a server protection cabinet, a sliding door, a transparent sealed door, a server shock absorption protection device, and a server heat dissipation device. The server shock absorption protection device includes a mounting connector, a shock absorption support cylinder, a shock absorption telescopic spring, a shock absorption support column, a shock absorption plate connecting frame, a server mounting shock absorption plate, a telescopic clamping spring, and a server clamping plate. This effectively solves the problems of current fault-tolerant servers lacking shock absorption protection devices and being easily damaged, as well as the inconvenience of timely heat dissipation during operation. Although it achieves the purpose of convenient shock absorption protection and timely heat dissipation, the above-mentioned protection device needs to be replaced as a whole after damage or breakage, which is costly.

[0004] Based on this, we designed a fault-tolerant server protection device that facilitates heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing a fault-tolerant server protection device that facilitates heat dissipation. The technical problem this device aims to solve is how to reduce repair costs after damage while achieving both heat dissipation and protection effects.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A fault-tolerant server protection device for easy heat dissipation includes a server body. Several support columns are provided at the upper end of the server body. An air guide shroud with an opening facing downward is fixed above the support columns. An air inlet is provided in the middle of the air guide shroud, and a cooling fan is installed inside the air guide shroud. Removable plates are provided around the server body. A connecting mechanism is provided between the removable plates and the server body. A protective plate is provided at the corner of the server body, and a fixing mechanism for connecting to the removable plate is provided on both sides of the protective plate.

[0007] The width of the detachable plate gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0008] With the above structure, under the action of the air guide shroud, the airflow generated by the cooling fan blows from top to bottom and flows out through the gap between the removable plate and the protective plate. When the upper part of the removable plate is wider, the gap between it and the protective plate is smaller, which can prevent the airflow from flowing out completely, thereby ensuring that some airflow can flow to the bottom and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0009] The protective plate includes an arc-shaped frame, an impact-resistant plate is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped frame, and a cavity is opened in the middle of the impact-resistant plate.

[0010] With the above structure, the impact-resistant plate is placed at the corner of the server body, which is easily subject to impact. When the impact force is small, the impact-resistant plate can deform inward to absorb the impact force. When the impact force is large, the entire protective plate can bend inward, achieving a dual protection effect.

[0011] The fixing mechanism includes several connecting plates fixed to the side of the arc-shaped frame, and the connecting plates are evenly distributed. Several symmetrically distributed hanging plates are fixed to the outside of the detachable plates, and the ends of the connecting plates are locked onto the hanging plates at corresponding positions.

[0012] With the above structure, the two sides of the protective plate overlap the detachable plate, which can provide protection when subjected to impact. Moreover, the connecting plate and the hanging plate can be separated by pushing the protective plate upward, so as to realize the function of replacing the protective plate. The operation is simple.

[0013] The connection mechanism includes a fixing plate fixed to the side of the server body. The fixing plate has an elongated slot, and the detachable plate has a square hole through which the fixing plate passes. A fixing block is fixed to the outside of the detachable plate. An adjusting bolt is threaded onto the fixing block and passes through the elongated slot. An adjusting spring is fitted onto the adjusting bolt, and the two ends of the adjusting spring abut against the bolt head of the adjusting bolt and the fixing plate, respectively.

[0014] The above structure provides pressure to the fixed plate by adjusting the spring, and provides impact resistance through the friction between the fixed block and the fixed plate. Moreover, under a light impact, the detachable plate can move inward without deformation, can be reused, and reduces costs.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this fault-tolerant server protection device with convenient heat dissipation has the following advantages: 1. Through the protective plate, detachable plate and air guide cover, the protective effect is achieved, and the replacement and maintenance can be carried out separately through the connection structure and detachable mechanism. The replacement steps are simple and can effectively reduce maintenance costs. Moreover, the airflow generated by the cooling fan blows from top to bottom and flows out through the gap between the detachable plate and the protective plate, which improves the heat dissipation effect.

[0016] 2. By using an impact-resistant plate with a cavity, when the impact force is small, the impact-resistant plate can deform inward to absorb the impact force. When the impact force is large, the entire protective plate can bend inward, achieving a dual protection effect.

[0017] 3. The spring provides pressure to the fixed plate, and the friction between the fixed block and the fixed plate provides impact resistance. Moreover, under a light impact, the detachable plate can move inward without deformation, and it can be reused, reducing costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solution of this patent will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0021] The embodiments of this patent are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this patent, and should not be construed as limiting this patent.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection or setting, a detachable connection or setting, or an integral connection or setting. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this patent according to the specific circumstances.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a fault-tolerant server protection device that facilitates heat dissipation, including a server body 1. Several support columns 2 are provided at the upper end of the server body 1. An air guide shroud 3 with an opening facing downward is fixed above the support columns 2. An air inlet 4 is provided in the middle of the air guide shroud 3, and a cooling fan 5 is installed inside the air guide shroud 3. Detachable plates 6 are provided around the server body 1. A connecting mechanism is provided between the detachable plates 6 and the server body 1. A protective plate 7 is provided at the corner of the server body 1, and a fixing mechanism for connecting with the detachable plates 6 is provided on both sides of the protective plate 7.

[0025] The width of the removable plate 6 gradually decreases from top to bottom. Under the action of the air guide shroud 3, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 5 blows from top to bottom and flows out through the gap between the removable plate 6 and the protective plate 7. When the upper part of the removable plate 6 is wider, the gap between it and the protective plate 7 is smaller, which can prevent the airflow from flowing out completely, thereby ensuring that some airflow can flow to the bottom and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0026] The protective plate 7 includes an arc-shaped frame 701, and an impact-resistant plate 702 is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped frame 701. A cavity 703 is provided in the middle of the impact-resistant plate 702. The impact-resistant plate 702 is located at the corner of the server body 1 and is easily impacted. When the impact force is small, the impact-resistant plate 702 can deform inward to absorb the impact force. When the impact force is large, the entire protective plate 7 can bend inward to achieve a dual protection effect.

[0027] The fixing mechanism includes several connecting plates 8 fixed to the side of the arc-shaped frame 701, and the connecting plates 8 are evenly distributed. Several symmetrically distributed hanging plates 9 are fixed to the outside of the detachable plate 6, and the ends of the connecting plates 8 are locked onto the hanging plates 9 at the corresponding positions. The two sides of the protective plate 7 overlap the detachable plate 6, which can provide protection when it is impacted. Moreover, pushing the protective plate 7 upward can separate the connecting plate 8 from the hanging plate 9, thereby realizing the function of replacing the protective plate 7. The operation is simple.

[0028] The connecting mechanism includes a fixing plate 10 fixed to the side of the server body 1. The fixing plate 10 has an elongated slot 11. The detachable plate 6 has a square hole through which the fixing plate 10 passes. A fixing block 12 is fixed to the outside of the detachable plate 6. An adjusting bolt 13 is threaded onto the fixing block 12 and passes through the elongated slot 11. An adjusting spring 14 is fitted onto the adjusting bolt 13. The two ends of the adjusting spring 14 abut against the bolt head of the adjusting bolt 13 and the fixing plate 10, respectively. The adjusting spring 14 provides pressure to the fixing plate 10, and the friction between the fixing block 12 and the fixing plate 10 provides an impact resistance effect. Moreover, under a light impact, the detachable plate 6 can move inward without deformation, can be reused, and reduces costs.

[0029] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned fixing methods are the most commonly used fixing connection methods in the art, such as welding and bolt connection.

[0030] The working principle of this utility model: The removable plate 6 and the protective plate 7 provide protection on the outside of the server body 1. When the impact force is small, the impact-resistant plate 702 can deform inward to absorb the impact force. When the impact force is large, the entire protective plate 7 can bend inward to achieve a dual protection effect. In addition, the pressure applied to the fixed plate 10 by the adjusting spring 14 and the friction between the fixed block 12 and the fixed plate 10 provide an impact resistance effect. Moreover, under a light impact, the removable plate 6 can move inward without deformation and can be reused to reduce costs. In addition, both the protective plate 7 and the removable plate 6 are separate structures and can be replaced individually, further reducing maintenance costs. Under the action of the air guide shroud 3, the airflow generated by the cooling fan 5 blows from top to bottom and flows out through the gap between the removable plate 6 and the protective plate 7. When the upper end of the removable plate 6 is wider, the gap between it and the protective plate 7 is smaller, which can prevent the airflow from flowing out completely and ensure that some airflow can flow to the bottom, improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0031] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
