A disk array enclosure that facilitates heat dissipation

Abstract

This utility model belongs to the field of disk array cabinet heat dissipation technology, specifically a disk array cabinet that facilitates heat dissipation. It includes a disk array cabinet body, a door panel slidably connected to the inner side of the cabinet body, a mesh screen connected to the inner side of the door panel, and a rotating plate rotatably connected to the inner side of the cabinet body. The rotating plate has ventilation slots on its surface. This process, through the arrangement of the mesh screen, rotating plate, fan, gear ring, gear, and first motor, ensures that during heat dissipation, the first motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate then moves the ventilation slots and fan to adjust their positions, allowing the fan to blow air into multiple locations inside the disk array cabinet body. The air is then discharged through the mesh screen. The rotation and movement of the fan make heat dissipation more uniform, preventing heat accumulation inside the cabinet body and improving the stability of the device's heat dissipation.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation technology for disk array cabinets, specifically a disk array cabinet that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] A disk array enclosure is a storage device that integrates multiple hard drives into a dedicated enclosure. It can combine the storage capacity of multiple hard drives to provide a large-capacity data storage space, and can also ensure data security through redundancy design to prevent data loss due to the failure of a single hard drive. At the same time, it can also improve data read and write performance. It is widely used in enterprise data centers, server clusters and other scenarios with high requirements for data storage capacity, security and read and write speed.

[0003] When a disk array enclosure is in use, a large amount of heat accumulates inside. To reduce the impact of heat on hard drive operation, existing methods often involve creating heat dissipation slots within the enclosure and using fans to draw air in and out to remove the heat. However, the heat dissipation slots in existing disk array enclosures are mostly located in fixed positions, making it difficult for the heat generated by hard drives far from the slots to come into contact with the air and be carried away. This results in uneven heat dissipation and reduces the stability of the device's cooling system. Therefore, this paper proposes a disk array enclosure that facilitates heat dissipation to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, at least one technical problem raised in the background art is solved.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: A disk array cabinet with convenient heat dissipation, comprising a disk array cabinet body, a door panel slidably connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body, a mesh screen connected to the inner side of the door panel, a rotating plate rotatably connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body, ventilation slots formed on the surface of the rotating plate, a fan connected to the outer side of the ventilation slots, a gear ring fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate, a gear meshing with the outer side of the gear ring, a first motor fixedly connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body, the output end of the first motor fixedly connected to the gear, and the gear and the disk... The array cabinet body is rotated and connected. This step involves setting up a screen, rotating plate, fan, gear ring, gear, and first motor. When the device is dissipating heat, the first motor drives the gear to rotate, the gear drives the gear ring to rotate, the gear ring drives the rotating plate to rotate, and the rotating plate drives the ventilation slots and fan to move and adjust their positions. This allows the fan to blow air into multiple locations inside the disk array cabinet body, and then the air is discharged through the screen. The rotation and movement of the fan makes the heat dissipation more uniform, thus preventing heat from accumulating inside the disk array cabinet body and improving the stability of the device's heat dissipation.

[0006] Preferably, a storage box is fixedly connected to the outside of the disk array cabinet body, a cooling pipe is connected to the inside of the storage box, and a pump is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage box. One end of the cooling pipe is connected to the pump. This step, by setting up the storage box, cooling pipe, and pump, allows coolant to be injected into the inside of the storage box when the fan rotates back and forth. The pump drives the coolant in and out of the cooling pipe, thereby cooling the cooling pipe. When the fan brings air into the inside of the disk array cabinet body, the air is cooled by the cooling pipe, further improving the cooling effect of the air on the inside of the disk array cabinet body. In addition, two pumping structures, such as pumps, can be inserted into the inside of the storage box to extract the coolant that has absorbed heat from the inside of the storage box and then inject the coolant that has not absorbed heat into the inside of the storage box. This prevents the coolant from overheating and affecting the cooling effect, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the device.

[0007] Preferably, a rotating block is rotatably connected to the inside of the fan, and a spring telescopic tube is connected to the inside of the rotating block. The spring telescopic tube is connected to the storage tank, and a filter screen is connected to the inside of the storage tank. The filter screen and the spring telescopic tube work together. This step, through the rotating block and the spring telescopic tube, ensures that the coolant level is lower than the bottom of the filter screen when coolant is injected into the inside of the storage tank. When the fan rotates back and forth, because it is rotatably connected to the rotating block and connected to the rotating block through the spring telescopic tube, the position of the rotating block is rotated, so that the rotating block will not rotate due to the movement and rotation of the fan. The fan drives the air inside the storage tank to be drawn out. The air inside the storage tank is cooled by contact with the coolant. The cooled air can be blown into the inside of the disk array cabinet by the fan. When the air is drawn out, it can be filtered by the filter screen to remove excess moisture. This prevents moisture from coming into contact with the hard drives when the air enters the inside of the disk array cabinet, thus affecting the operation of the hard drives. This further improves the heat dissipation and cooling effect and the stability of the device.

[0008] Preferably, a first toothed plate is fixedly connected to the lower side of the filter screen, and a second toothed plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the storage box. This step, by setting the first and second toothed plates, ensures that both the first and second toothed plates have a certain degree of elasticity. After long-term use, the filter screen can be moved back and forth by the operator periodically pulling the second toothed plate. The protruding parts of the first and second toothed plates will come into contact and collide back and forth due to the movement, causing the first toothed plate to vibrate. This causes the first toothed plate to drive the filter screen to vibrate, shaking off the water adhering to the surface of the filter screen. This makes it less likely for water to affect the air passing through the filter screen, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0009] Preferably, a second motor is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box, and a reciprocating screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor. The reciprocating screw and the second toothed plate are threaded together. This step, by setting the second motor and the reciprocating screw, allows the second motor to drive the reciprocating screw to rotate slowly during filter use. This, in turn, drives the second toothed plate to move slowly back and forth, continuously vibrating the filter. This eliminates the need for staff to periodically pull the second toothed plate. Furthermore, the connection between the reciprocating screw and the second toothed plate provides further support for the second toothed plate, making its movement more stable and improving the stability of the device.

[0010] Preferably, a fixing block is fixedly connected to the outside of the disk array cabinet body, and bristles are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing block. This step, by setting the fixing block and the bristles, allows the teeth of the gears and gear rings to contact the bristles when they mesh and rotate, thereby enabling the bristles to clean the gears and gear rings. This prevents dust from accumulating on the outside of the gears and gear rings, improving the ease of cleaning the device.

[0011] The advantages of this utility model are: 1. This utility model, by setting up a screen, a rotating plate, a fan, a gear ring, a gear, and a first motor, enables the device to dissipate heat during the process. The first motor drives the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the gear ring to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating plate to rotate. The rotating plate then drives the ventilation slots and the fan to move continuously to adjust their positions. This allows the fan to blow air into multiple locations inside the disk array cabinet, and the air is then discharged through the screen. The rotation and movement of the fan make heat dissipation more uniform, thus preventing heat from accumulating inside the disk array cabinet and improving the stability of the device's heat dissipation. 2. This utility model, by setting up a storage tank, cooling pipes, and a pump, allows coolant to be injected into the inside of the storage tank when the fan rotates back and forth. The pump drives the coolant in and out of the cooling pipes, thereby cooling the cooling pipes. When the fan brings air into the inside of the disk array cabinet, the air is cooled by the cooling pipes, further improving the cooling effect of the air on the inside of the disk array cabinet. In addition, two pumping structures, such as pumps, can be inserted into the inside of the storage tank to extract the coolant that has absorbed heat from the inside of the storage tank and then inject the coolant that has not absorbed heat into the inside of the storage tank. This reduces the possibility of the coolant overheating and affecting cooling, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the device. Attached Figure Description

[0015] 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 scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0016] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0017] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown, a disk array cabinet with convenient heat dissipation includes a disk array cabinet body 1. A door panel 2 is slidably connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body 1. A mesh screen 3 is connected to the inner side of the door panel 2. A rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body 1. A ventilation slot 5 is formed on the surface of the rotating plate 4. A fan 6 is connected to the outer side of the ventilation slot 5. A gear ring 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 4. A gear 8 meshes with the outer side of the gear ring 7. A first motor 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the disk array cabinet body 1. The output end of the first motor 9 is fixedly connected to the gear 8. The gear 8 is rotatably connected to the disk array cabinet body 1. This step... By setting up a screen 3, a rotating plate 4, a fan 6, a gear ring 7, a gear 8, and a first motor 9, when the device is dissipating heat, the first motor 9 drives the gear 8 to rotate, the gear 8 drives the gear ring 7 to rotate, the gear ring 7 drives the rotating plate 4 to rotate, and the rotating plate 4 drives the ventilation slot 5 and the fan 6 to move continuously to adjust their positions. This allows the fan 6 to blow air into multiple locations inside the disk array cabinet body 1, and then the air is discharged through the screen 3. The rotation and movement of the fan 6 makes the heat dissipation more uniform, thus preventing heat from accumulating inside the disk array cabinet body 1 and improving the stability of the device's heat dissipation.

[0018] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a storage tank 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the disk array cabinet body 1. A cooling pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the storage tank 10, and a pump 12 is fixedly connected to the inside of the storage tank 10. One end of the cooling pipe 11 is connected to the pump 12. This step, by setting up the storage tank 10, cooling pipe 11, and pump 12, allows coolant to be injected into the inside of the storage tank 10 when the fan 6 rotates back and forth. The pump 12 drives the coolant in and out of the cooling pipe 11, thereby cooling the cooling pipe 11. When the fan 6 brings air into the inside of the disk array cabinet body 1, the air is cooled by the cooling pipe 11, further improving the cooling effect of the air on the inside of the disk array cabinet body 1. Two pumping structures, such as the pump 12, can be inserted into the inside of the storage tank 10 to extract the coolant that has absorbed heat from the inside of the storage tank 10 and then inject the unheated coolant into the inside of the storage tank 10. This prevents the coolant from overheating and affecting cooling, thus improving the heat dissipation effect of the device.

[0019] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, a rotating block 13 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fan 6. A spring telescopic tube 14 is connected to the inner side of the rotating block 13. The spring telescopic tube 14 is connected to the storage tank 10. A filter screen 15 is connected to the inner side of the storage tank 10. The filter screen 15 and the spring telescopic tube 14 work together. In this step, the rotating block 13 and the spring telescopic tube 14 ensure that the coolant level is lower than the bottom of the filter screen 15 when the coolant is injected into the inner side of the storage tank 10. When the fan 6 rotates back and forth, because it is rotatably connected to the rotating block 13 and connected to the rotating block 13 through the spring telescopic tube 14, the position of the rotating block 13 is rotated, so that the fan 6 rotates back and forth. Block 13 will not rotate due to the movement and rotation of the fan 6. The fan 6 drives the air inside the storage tank 10 to be drawn out. The air inside the storage tank 10 is cooled by contact with the coolant. The cooled air can be blown into the inside of the disk array cabinet body 1 by the fan 6. When the air is drawn out, the air inside the storage tank 10 can be filtered by the filter screen 15 to remove excess moisture. This prevents moisture from coming into contact with the hard drives when the air enters the inside of the disk array cabinet body 1, thus affecting the operation of the hard drives. This further improves the heat dissipation and cooling effect and the stability of the device.

[0020] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a first toothed plate 16 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the filter screen 15, and a second toothed plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner side of the storage box 10. This step, by setting the first toothed plate 16 and the second toothed plate 17, ensures that both the first toothed plate 16 and the second toothed plate 17 have a certain degree of elasticity. After long-term use, the filter screen 15 can be moved back and forth by the operator periodically pulling the second toothed plate 17. The protruding parts of the first toothed plate 16 and the second toothed plate 17 will come into contact and collide back and forth due to the movement, thereby causing the first toothed plate 16 to vibrate. This causes the first toothed plate 16 to drive the filter screen 15 to vibrate, shaking off the water adhering to the surface of the filter screen 15. This makes it less likely for water to affect the air passing through the filter screen 15, thus improving the stability of the device.

[0021] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second motor 18 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 10, and a reciprocating screw 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 18. The reciprocating screw 19 and the second toothed plate 17 are threaded together. This step, by setting the second motor 18 and the reciprocating screw 19, allows the second motor 18 to drive the reciprocating screw 19 to rotate slowly when the filter screen 15 is in use. This, in turn, drives the second toothed plate 17 to move back and forth slowly, thereby continuously vibrating the filter screen 15. This eliminates the need for staff to periodically pull the second toothed plate 17. The connection between the reciprocating screw 19 and the second toothed plate 17 further supports the second toothed plate 17, making its movement more stable and improving the stability of the device.

[0022] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a fixing block 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the disk array cabinet body 1, and a brush bristle 21 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixing block 20. This step, by setting the fixing block 20 and the brush bristle 21, allows the brush bristle 21 to contact the gear 8 and the gear ring 7 when they mesh and rotate, so that the brush bristle 21 can clean the gear 8 and the gear ring 7, making it less likely for dust to accumulate on the outside of the gear 8 and the gear ring 7, thus improving the convenience of cleaning the device.

[0023] The working principle is as follows: when the device is dissipating heat, the first motor 9 drives the gear 8 to rotate, the gear 8 drives the gear ring 7 to rotate, the gear ring 7 drives the rotating plate 4 to rotate, and the rotating plate 4 drives the ventilation slot 5 and the fan 6 to move continuously to adjust their positions. When the fan 6 rotates back and forth, coolant is injected into the inside of the storage tank 10. The pump 12 drives the coolant to enter and exit the cooling pipe 11, thereby cooling the cooling pipe 11. When the fan 6 drives the air into the inside of the disk array cabinet body 1, the air is cooled by the cooling pipe 11. At the same time, because the coolant temperature is low, the air temperature inside the storage tank 10 is further reduced. The fan 6 drives the cooler air inside the storage tank 10 to be drawn into the inside of the spring telescopic tube 14, and then into the rotating block 13 and the inside of the fan 6. This allows the fan 6 to blow cooler air into multiple positions inside the disk array cabinet body 1, and then the air is discharged through the screen 3.
