[0015] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cabinet 1 is divided into a front aisle 101, a receiving area 102, and a rear aisle 103 along the Y direction. The receiving area 102 is used to place external servers and other equipment. A vertical baffle 2 is installed along the X direction in the receiving area 102, dividing the receiving area into a front and rear area, forming a back-to-back arrangement for multiple server devices. The top of the vertical baffle 2 is spaced from the cabinet 1 to form an exhaust duct 1021. Four movable partitions 3 are placed horizontally. Two movable partitions 3 are placed one above the other in the front aisle 101, dividing the front aisle 101 into a front upper aisle 1011, a front middle aisle 1012, and a front lower aisle 1013. Two movable partitions 3 are placed one above the other in the rear aisle 103, dividing the rear aisle 103 into a rear upper aisle 1031, a rear middle aisle 1032, and a rear lower aisle 1033. The front middle aisle 1012 is supplied with cold airflow, while the rear upper aisle 1031 and rear lower aisle 1033 are supplied with hot airflow. The working principle is as follows: The cold air blown out from the external air conditioner vent first enters the front middle channel 1012 and then flows to the middle of the height direction of the receiving area 102. The cold air flows upward and downward respectively. The upward airflow carries away the heat generated by the server operation to form hot air. Under the action of the exhaust device 4, the hot air flows back to the air conditioner return vent through the exhaust channel 1021 and the rear upper channel 1031. The downward airflow carries away the heat generated by the server operation to form hot air. Under the action of the external exhaust device, the hot air flows to the rear lower channel 1033 and finally enters the return vent of the external air conditioner. The movable partition 3 installed in the front channel 101 guides the flow direction of the cold air, so that the cold air is concentrated in the front middle channel 1012 and then flows to the receiving area 102. The movable partition 3 installed in the rear channel 103 guides the flow direction of the hot air, so that the hot air is concentrated in the rear upper channel 1031 and the rear lower channel 1033 and finally flows to the return vent of the external air conditioner.

[0016] The cabinet 1 is divided into a front aisle 101, a storage area 102, and a rear aisle 103 along the Y direction. The storage area 102 houses external servers and other equipment. An exhaust duct 1021 and an exhaust device 4 are installed at the top of the storage area 102. A movable partition 3 is installed in the front aisle 101 to form a front-middle aisle 1012. External cold air flows through the front-middle aisle 1012 to the storage area 102. The movable partition 3 is installed in the rear aisle 103 to form a rear upper aisle 1031 and a rear lower aisle 1033. After passing through the storage area 102, the cold air becomes hot air. The hot air flows through the rear upper aisle 1031 and the rear lower aisle 1033 to the return air vent of the external air conditioner, effectively guiding the flow of cold air in the cabinet and effectively isolating cold and hot air.

[0017] In another embodiment, the cabinet 1 is divided along the Y direction into a front aisle 101, a receiving area 102, and a rear aisle 103. The receiving area 102 is used to place external servers and other equipment. A vertical baffle 2 is installed along the X direction in the receiving area 102, dividing the receiving area into a front and rear section, forming a back-to-back arrangement for multiple server devices. The top of the vertical baffle 2 is spaced from the cabinet 1 to form an exhaust duct 1021. Two movable partitions 3 are placed horizontally. One movable partition 3 is installed in the front aisle 101, dividing the front aisle 101 into a front upper aisle 1011 and a front lower aisle 1013. The other movable partition 3 is installed in the rear aisle 103, dividing the rear aisle 103 into a rear upper aisle 1031 and a rear lower aisle 1033. The front lower aisle 1013 is used for cooling. The airflow, specifically the heating airflow in the upper rear channel 1031, operates as follows: Cold air blown from the external air conditioner vent first enters the lower front channel 1013 and then flows towards the lower part of the accommodating area 102 in the height direction. The upward flow of the cold air carries away the heat generated by the server, transforming it into hot air. Under the action of the exhaust device 4, this hot air flows sequentially through the exhaust channel 1021 and the upper rear channel 1031 back to the air conditioner's return air vent. The movable partition 3 installed in the front channel 101 guides the flow direction of the cold air, causing it to concentrate in the lower front channel 1013 before flowing towards the accommodating area 102. Similarly, the movable partition 3 installed in the rear channel 103 guides the flow direction of the hot air, causing it to concentrate in the upper rear channel 1031, and finally flows towards the return air vent of the external air conditioner.

[0018] The cabinet 1 is divided into a front aisle 101, a storage area 102, and a rear aisle 103 along the Y direction. The storage area 102 houses external servers and other equipment.
