Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server chassis technology, specifically a server chassis compatible with both air-cooled and liquid-cooled heat dissipation modules. Background Technology

[0002] A server is a specific IT device in a network environment that provides computing power and runs software applications. It provides computing or application services to other clients in the network. Generally speaking, servers have the ability to respond to service requests, provide services, and ensure service.

[0003] A server chassis is an outer shell used to house the internal components of a server. Its main functions are to secure hardware devices, provide physical protection, and provide electromagnetic shielding.

[0004] A server chassis, disclosed in publication number CN215264620U, includes a chassis and a fan module. The first side panel of the chassis has ventilation holes. The fan module is installed inside the chassis and parallel to the first side panel. The second side panel of the chassis has a hard drive mounting port, and the second side panel is positioned opposite to the first side panel. This invention guides the airflow within the chassis using the fan module, effectively improving airflow convection, accelerating heat dissipation from the chassis, increasing heat dissipation efficiency, and ensuring stable operation of the server within the chassis.

[0005] To address the problem of poor heat dissipation in traditional server chassis, existing technologies employ a combination of chassis and fan modules. However, in practical applications, the single-mode air cooling of existing technologies using only fan modules has certain limitations, resulting in poor overall heat dissipation and failing to meet the high-efficiency heat dissipation requirements of diverse applications. Therefore, this invention proposes a server chassis that is compatible with both air-cooled and liquid-cooled heat dissipation modules. Utility Model Content

It has a certain air-cooling and heat dissipation effect, can ensure basic air-cooling heat dissipation effect, and has good practicality.

[0014] Furthermore, this invention features a liquid cooling distributor on one side of the air-cooling module.

When used in conjunction with the aforementioned air-cooling module, this chassis structure simultaneously supports both air and liquid cooling. Compared to existing technologies, this invention, through the combined use of air and liquid cooling, significantly enhances the versatility of internal cooling, offering dual-cooling capabilities.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a server chassis compatible with both air-cooled and liquid-cooled heat dissipation modules, including a chassis body 1. A fan bracket 9 is fixedly installed at the center of the interior of the chassis body 1. Several evenly distributed cooling fans 2 are installed inside the fan bracket 9. The fan bracket 9 and the cooling fans 2 together form an air-cooling module. This structural design, through the air-cooling module composed of the fan bracket 9 and the cooling fans 2, can effectively perform air-cooled heat dissipation treatment inside the chassis body 1, and has a certain air-cooling cooling effect, which can ensure the basic air-cooling effect and has good practicality.

[0023] Furthermore, a liquid cooling distributor 3 is fixedly installed on one side of the cooling fan 2 and inside the chassis body 1. The liquid cooling distributor 3 is an existing technology product, which is a device used to adjust and control the flow path of the coolant. By splitting and balancing the flow, it ensures that different areas or components inside the chassis receive uniform cooling and improves the water cooling effect. In order to ensure the normal injection and flow discharge of the coolant, the inlet of the liquid cooling distributor 3 is fixedly connected to the inlet pipe 4, and the outlet of the liquid cooling distributor 3 is fixedly connected to the outlet pipe 5. Both the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5 are set to pass through the chassis body 1. The coolant can be injected through the inlet pipe 4, and after being split and flowed through the liquid cooling distributor 3, it is finally discharged through the outlet pipe 5.

[0024] This utility model provides a liquid cooling distributor 3 on one side of the air-cooled module. By distributing water through the path of the liquid cooling distributor 3, the cooling uniformity inside the chassis body 1 can be effectively improved. The coolant flowing inside the liquid cooling distributor 3 can effectively cool the inside of the chassis, thus providing a water-cooled cooling effect for the internal heat dissipation of the chassis.

[0025] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the connection between the inlet and outlet pipes of the liquid-cooled water distributor 3 and the circulation pipe, pipe joints are fixedly installed at the top of both the inlet pipe 4 and the outlet pipe 5.

Server hardware 8, such as GPU graphics cards and processors, are fixedly installed on both the front mounting plate 6 and the rear mounting plate 7, thereby ensuring the normal installation of the chassis graphics card.

[0027] In this embodiment, in order to improve the ventilation and heat dissipation effect of the chassis, a front panel and a rear panel are respectively installed on the front and rear sides of the chassis body 1. A number of mesh grooves for heat dissipation are opened on the front and rear panels of the chassis body 1.

[0028] Working principle: In actual use, the server chassis of this utility model can effectively perform air-cooled heat dissipation treatment on the inside of the chassis body 1 by forming an air-cooling module through the fan bracket 9 and the heat dissipation fan 2. It has a certain air-cooling and heat dissipation effect, can ensure the basic air-cooling and heat dissipation effect, and has good practicality.

[0029] Meanwhile, this utility model provides a liquid cooling distributor 3 on one side of the air-cooled module. Through the water distribution effect of the liquid cooling distributor 3, the cooling uniformity inside the chassis body 1 can be effectively improved. The coolant flowing inside the liquid cooling distributor 3 can effectively cool the inside of the chassis, thus achieving the effect of water-cooled internal heat dissipation and cooling.

[0030] By combining the liquid cooling structure with the aforementioned air-cooling module, the chassis structure of this invention can simultaneously achieve both air-cooling and liquid-cooling cooling effects. Compared to existing technologies, this invention, through the combined use of air-cooling and liquid-cooling structures, effectively enhances the versatility of internal heat dissipation within the chassis, providing practical dual-cooling capabilities. This significantly improves heat dissipation quality, reduces structural limitations, and meets the diverse and efficient heat dissipation needs of the chassis, resulting in greater overall practicality. Furthermore, the air-cooling and liquid-cooling structures of this invention are positioned in the middle of the chassis, effectively dissipating heat from both sides, improving heat dissipation uniformity, and achieving better cooling performance.
