Server air duct and server

[0001] Cross-reference to related applications

[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411973570.9, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on December 30, 2024, entitled "Server Air Shield and Server", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of computers, and more specifically, to a server air duct and a server. Background Technology

[0004] Current server air shrouds typically have multiple mounting areas for various components such as CPUs and capacitors. When the air shroud is installed, these components are placed in their respective areas. Airflow is directed to one side of each area, allowing air to pass over the components and dissipate heat. However, the size of the mounting area is affected by the size of the components, which in turn affects the airflow and thus the cooling effect. For some components with high heat dissipation requirements, the mounting area may not be large enough, resulting in poor cooling. Furthermore, the airflow passing through the mounting area can vibrate due to the air shroud itself, causing noise.

[0005] Application content

[0006] This application provides a server air duct and a server to at least solve the problem of poor heat dissipation effect of server air ducts in related technologies.

[0007] According to a first aspect of this application, a server air duct is provided, comprising: a plurality of first mounting portions, each first mounting portion having an air inlet side and an air outlet side; a second mounting portion, the second mounting portion being located between the first mounting portions, and the side of the first mounting portion near the second mounting portion having an inclined segment, the inclined segment being located on the air inlet side and inclined in a direction away from the second mounting portion along the airflow direction, so that the ventilation cross section on the air inlet side is larger than the ventilation cross section on the air outlet side; and a third mounting portion, the third mounting portion being located on the side of the first mounting portion away from the second mounting portion.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first mounting portions on both sides of the second mounting portion have inclined segments, and along the flow direction of the airflow, the inclined segments on both sides are inclined in a direction away from each other.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first mounting portion has a first side and a second side opposite to each other, the first side and the second side being located between the air inlet side and the air outlet side, the first side being closer to the second mounting portion than the second side, the inclined segment being located on the first side, and the second side being set at an angle to the inclined segment.

[0010] In some embodiments, the first side further includes a parallel segment connected to the inclined segment, and the parallel segment is closer to the air outlet side than the inclined segment. The parallel segment is parallel to the second side and extends to the air outlet side.

[0011] In some embodiments, the server air duct includes: a base plate having a plurality of clearance holes; a plurality of covers connected to the base plate and covering the clearance holes, wherein a first mounting portion is formed on the inner side of the cover and a second mounting portion is formed between two adjacent covers.

[0012] In some embodiments, the server air duct also includes a side plate connected to the base plate and located on the side of the duct away from the second mounting portion, with a third mounting portion formed between the side plate and the duct.

[0013] In some implementations, the server air duct also includes a mounting structure located on the base plate and / or side plate, and the server air duct is mounted to the server chassis via the mounting structure.

[0014] In some embodiments, the mounting structure includes: a fixing claw located on the outer side of the side plate; and a fixing buckle located at the edge of the base plate. Both the fixing buckle and the fixing claw engage with a fixing structure on the server chassis, and the fixing claw and / or the fixing buckle are hook structures.

[0015] In some embodiments, the mounting structure includes: a fixing claw located on the outer side of the side plate; and a fixing buckle located at the edge of the base plate. Both the fixing buckle and the fixing claw are engaged with the fixing structure on the server chassis. The fixing claw is a hook structure, and the fixing buckle is a hole structure. The opening direction of the hole structure is the same as the airflow direction.

[0016] In some implementations, the server air duct also includes a top plate, which is disposed above the bottom plate and connected to the top surface of the duct body. An air inlet for air intake is formed between the top plate, the bottom plate, and the duct body.

[0017] In some embodiments, a fastening structure for mounting a capacitor element is provided in the second mounting part and / or the third mounting part, and the capacitor element is mounted and confined in the second mounting part or the third mounting part by the fastening structure.

[0018] In some embodiments, the server air duct also includes a mounting housing disposed within a third mounting section. The mounting housing has a fastening structure, through which the capacitor components are connected to the mounting housing.

[0019] In some embodiments, the second mounting part and / or the third mounting part has an air inlet, and the second mounting part and / or the third mounting part are connected to the outside through the air inlet.

[0020] In some embodiments, the server air duct further includes: a base plate; a ventilation plate, the ventilation plate being integrally connected to the base plate and the ventilation plate being inclined relative to the base plate. Along the airflow direction, the ventilation plate is inclined towards the base plate. The ventilation plate serves as the side wall of the second or third mounting part and has an air inlet. Along the surface of the ventilation plate towards the base plate, the distance between the two sides of the ventilation plate gradually increases, and the inclined segment is connected to the two sides of the ventilation plate.

[0021] In some implementations, the server air duct also includes multiple baffles with through holes, and at least two baffles have different through holes. The baffles are interchangeably disposed at the air inlet and can change the air intake state.

[0024] By applying the technical solution of this application, three mounting parts are provided: a first mounting part, a second mounting part, and a third mounting part. An inclined segment is provided on the side of the first mounting part near the second mounting part. The inclined segment makes the ventilation cross-sectional area on the air inlet side of the first mounting part larger than the ventilation cross-sectional area on the air outlet side. This increases the air intake of the first mounting part. With the wind speed remaining constant, the overall air intake can be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the internal components of the first mounting part. At the same time, in addition to guiding the air, the inclined surface can also refract sound waves, i.e., change the wind speed gradient, thereby changing the direction of sound propagation in the air. The sound and the airflow are opposite, which hinders and weakens the noise, thereby reducing the noise level. Attached Figure Description

[0036] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0038] To address the issue of poor heat dissipation performance of server air ducts in related technologies, this application provides a server air duct and a server.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, a server air duct includes multiple first mounting portions 10, second mounting portions 20, and third mounting portions 30. The first mounting portions 10 have an air inlet side and an air outlet side. The second mounting portions 20 are located between the first mounting portions 10, and the side of the first mounting portions 10 near the second mounting portions 20 has an inclined segment 11. The inclined segment 11 is located on the air inlet side and is inclined away from the second mounting portion 20 along the airflow direction, so that the ventilation cross-section on the air inlet side is larger than the ventilation cross-section on the air outlet side. The third mounting portion 30 is located on the side of the first mounting portions 10 away from the second mounting portions 20.

[0041] This embodiment includes three mounting parts: a first mounting part 10, a second mounting part 20, and a third mounting part 30. An inclined segment 11 is provided on the side of the first mounting part 10 near the second mounting part 20. The inclined segment 11 makes the ventilation cross-sectional area on the air inlet side of the first mounting part 10 larger than the ventilation cross-sectional area on the air outlet side. This increases the air intake of the first mounting part 10. With the wind speed remaining constant, the overall air intake can be increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the internal components of the first mounting part 10. In addition to guiding the air, the inclined surface can also refract sound waves, i.e., change the wind speed gradient, thereby changing the direction of sound propagation in the air. The sound and the airflow are opposite, which hinders and weakens the noise, thus reducing the noise level.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, it should be noted that different devices can be installed in the three mounting sections: the first mounting section 10, the second mounting section 20, and the third mounting section 30. In this embodiment, the first mounting section 10 houses a CPU. The second mounting section 20 can house memory or a supercapacitor, and the third mounting section 30 houses a capacitor. Since the CPU generates a significant amount of heat, its heat dissipation requirements are high, while the capacitor's heat dissipation requirements are relatively low. This allows the devices in the second and third mounting sections 20 and 30 to still meet their heat dissipation needs while guiding excess airflow from the second and third mounting sections 20 and 30 back to the first mounting section 10, thereby improving the CPU's heat dissipation effect. Through practical design, using the inclined surface of this embodiment, the ventilation area on the air inlet side of the first mounting section 10 can be increased from 35.2 cm². 2 Increased to 43.6cm 2 The air intake volume can be increased to 1.24 times the original, and the heat dissipation effect at the CPU is increased to 1.24 times the original, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation effect on the CPU. Of course, the specific components installed in the first mounting part 10, the second mounting part 20, and the third mounting part 30 can be adjusted as needed. In this embodiment, components with high heat dissipation requirements are installed in the first mounting part 10, while components with relatively low heat dissipation requirements are installed in the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30.

[0043] In this embodiment, two first mounting portions 10 are provided, and a second mounting portion 20 is formed between the two first mounting portions 10. A third mounting portion 30 is formed on the side of each of the two first mounting portions 10 away from the second mounting portion 20, thereby forming two third mounting portions 30. Of course, the specific number can be adjusted as needed. For example, three first mounting portions 10 can be provided, in which case two second mounting portions 20 can be formed.

[0044] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, in this embodiment, the first mounting portions 10 on both sides of the second mounting portion 20 have inclined segments 11. This increases the airflow into both first mounting portions 10, allowing for effective heat dissipation of the components within both first mounting portions 10. Regarding the inclined segments 11 on both sides, they are inclined inwards in the direction of airflow, causing the size of both sides of the inlet side of the middle second mounting portion 20 to be inclined inwards, thus reducing the size of both sides.

[0045] It should be noted that, according to the illustrations of this embodiment, the air inlet side of the first mounting part 10 is the rear side of Figure 1, and the air outlet side of the first mounting part 10 is the front side of Figure 1. The airflow flows from back to front in the direction shown in the figure.

[0046] In some embodiments, the tilt angle of the tilt segment 11 can be adjusted as needed. That is, when processing the server air guide shroud, the size of the ventilation section on the air intake side is calculated based on the required air intake volume of the first mounting part 10, thereby obtaining the tilt angle of the tilt segment 11. This allows the processed air guide shroud to be adapted to the actual heat dissipation requirements, ensuring heat dissipation and noise reduction effects.

[0047] Besides the aforementioned adjustments during processing, the inclined segment 11 can also be designed with an adjustable angle. For example, a rotating shaft can be added to one side of the inclined segment 11, rotatably connecting it to components such as the base plate 40. This allows for quick and easy angle adjustment simply by rotating the inclined segment 11. In this case, a seal can be added between the edge of the inclined segment 11 and components such as the base plate 40 and side plate 60 to ensure airtightness between the inclined segment 11 and other components, preventing air leakage.

[0048] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in this embodiment, the first mounting portion 10 has a first side 12 and a second side 13 facing each other. The first side 12 and the second side 13 are located between the air inlet side and the air outlet side. Since the air inlet side and the air outlet side are arranged along the airflow direction, the first side 12 and the second side 13 are arranged in a direction approximately perpendicular to the airflow direction. Therefore, the arrangement direction between the first side 12 and the second side 13 is basically the same as the arrangement direction between the first mounting portion 10, the second mounting portion 20, and the third mounting portion 30. The first side 12 is closer to the second mounting portion 20 than the second side 13, so that the first side 12 of the first mounting portion 10 can also be substantially one side of the second mounting portion 20, and the second side 13 of the first mounting portion 10 can also be substantially one side of the third mounting portion 30. Since the inclined segment 11 is located between the first mounting portion 10 and the second mounting portion 20, the inclined segment 11 is located on the first side 12. Since the inclined segment 11 is inclined, the inclined segment 11 and the second side 13 are set at an angle. More specifically, in this embodiment, the second side 13 extends in a direction parallel to the airflow direction, so that the second side 13 has virtually no impact on the airflow passing through the first mounting part 10. The inclined segment 11 forms an angle with the second side 13, that is, an angle with the airflow direction, so that the inclined segment 11 can guide the airflow direction, allowing the airflow to enter the first mounting part 10 as much as possible under the action of the inclined segment 11, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the first mounting part 10 and playing the role of improving heat dissipation and reducing noise.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first side 12 includes not only the inclined segment 11 but also a parallel segment 14. The parallel segment 14 is connected to the inclined segment 11 and is closer to the air outlet side than the inclined segment 11, i.e., along the airflow direction. The inclined segment 11 and the parallel segment 14 are arranged sequentially, with the parallel segment 14 parallel to the second side 13 and extending to the air outlet side. Thus, the airflow, guided by the inclined segment 11 on the air inlet side, enters the first mounting portion 10 and then flows between the second side 13 and the parallel segment 14. Since both the second side 13 and the parallel segment 14 extend along the airflow direction, the airflow can pass smoothly through this portion. Furthermore, the arrangement of the parallel segment 14 ensures the size of the second mounting portion 20, so that only the air inlet of the second mounting portion 20 is affected by the inclined segment 11, while other parts are unaffected, ensuring that the second mounting portion 20 can meet the device mounting requirements.

[0050] Of course, the parallel segment 14 can be omitted, and the inclined segment 11 can be used to extend from the air inlet side to the air outlet side, so that the entire first side 12 is inclined. However, this method has a greater impact on the shape and size of the second mounting part 20.

[0051] The server air duct of this embodiment includes a base plate 40 and multiple covers 50. The base plate 40 is a plate-shaped component with multiple clearance holes. The covers 50 are connected to the base plate 40 and cover the clearance holes. Thus, the inner side of the cover 50 forms a first mounting portion 10, and the clearance holes serve as mounting holes for the first mounting portion 10. Devices can be inserted into the first mounting portion 10 through the clearance holes for assembly. Simultaneously, adjacent covers 50 are spaced apart, forming a second mounting portion 20. The bottom of the second mounting portion 20 is covered by the base plate 40, allowing devices to be mounted on the upper surface of the base plate 40. The top of the second mounting portion 20 is open, allowing devices to be inserted into the second mounting portion 20 and fixed to the base plate 40.

[0052] In addition to the base plate 40 and the cover 50, the server air duct of this embodiment also includes a side plate 60. The side plate 60 is connected to the upper surface of the base plate 40 and is located on the side of the cover 50 away from the second mounting part 20. The side plate 60 and the cover 50 are also spaced apart, so that the gap between them forms a third mounting part 30. In this way, the third mounting part 30 is similar to the second mounting part 20. Both of them use the base plate 40 at the bottom to fix the device and the opening at the top to allow the device to be inserted. The front-to-back direction allows airflow to pass through, so as to dissipate heat from the device.

[0053] This embodiment of the server air duct also includes a top plate 100, which is disposed above the bottom plate 40, with vertical spacing between them. The top plate 100 is connected to the top surface of the cover 50, so that the cover 50 is located between the vertical spacing of the top plate 100 and the bottom plate 40. The top plate 100 extends laterally, so the top plate 100 can serve as the upper part of the server air duct, and the bottom plate 40 as the lower part of the server air duct, giving the server air duct a certain space size to meet the installation and air guiding requirements. In this embodiment, the top plate 100 and the top surface of the cover 50 are integrated into one piece, or the side plate 60, bottom plate 40, cover 50, and top plate 100 are all integrated, so that the overall structure of the server air duct is mostly a one-piece structure, with only some small parts being detachable, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the server air duct.

[0054] Since the upper part of the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 in this embodiment are designed with openings, protective covers can be provided inside the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30. Since the third mounting part 30 is provided with a mounting shell 90 in this embodiment, the protective cover is provided inside the second mounting part 20. The protective cover can be transparent and extends into the second mounting part 20 from top to bottom. The upper part of the protective cover is closed, thereby achieving the protection of the supercapacitor or memory inside the second mounting part 20. The transparent design makes it convenient to observe the condition inside the second mounting part 20 without opening it.

[0055] It should be noted that the overall structure of the server air duct is not limited to the method described above in this embodiment, and other structural forms can also be adopted. For example, the second mounting part 20 can also be formed by the cover body 50, that is, the base plate 40 is provided with clearance holes at both the first mounting part 10 and the second mounting part 20, and there are three covers body 50s, which cover both the two first mounting parts 10 and the one second mounting part 20, so that both the first mounting part 10 and the second mounting part 20 form downward-opening cavities. Similarly, the third mounting part 30 can also adopt the above form.

[0056] In this embodiment, the server air duct also includes a mounting structure 70, which is located on the base plate 40 and / or the side plate 60. The server air duct is mounted to the server chassis via the mounting structure 70. In this embodiment, mounting structures 70 are provided on the top outer side of the side plate 60 and the lower part of the air outlet edge of the base plate 40. The mounting structure 70 can specifically adopt various structural forms such as clips and bolts, as long as it can achieve the purpose of mounting and fixing the server air duct to the server chassis.

[0057] In this embodiment, the mounting structure 70 includes a fixing claw located on the outer side of the side plate 60 and a fixing buckle located on the edge of the base plate 40. A matching fixing structure is provided on the server chassis. During installation, both the fixing buckle and the fixing claw engage with the fixing structure on the server chassis. This ensures that multiple sides of the server air duct are connected and fixed to the server chassis, guaranteeing a secure fit and preventing the server air duct from arching even with numerous cables. In this embodiment, both the fixing claw and the fixing buckle employ a hook structure, and correspondingly, the fixing structure is a snap-fit ​​structure. The snap-fit ​​engagement is achieved by the protrusions of the snap-fit ​​structure extending into the through holes of the snap-fit ​​structure. Of course, the fixing claw and the fixing buckle can also adopt other structural forms.

[0058] In this embodiment, the second mounting part 20 and / or the third mounting part 30 are provided with fastening structures for mounting capacitor components. Since capacitors are mounted in both the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 in this embodiment, fastening structures are provided in both the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30. The fastening structures can be mounting clips, mounting bolts, or other structures. The capacitor components are mounted and confined within the second mounting part 20 or the third mounting part 30 by the fastening structures.

[0059] In addition to the fastening structure, the server air duct in this embodiment also includes a mounting shell 90, which is disposed within the third mounting portion 30. Since the third mounting portion 30 in this embodiment has an opening at the top, the mounting shell 90 has an opening at the bottom. Installation can proceed from top to bottom through the top opening into the third mounting portion 30, and together with the bottom and side walls of the third mounting portion 30, it surrounds the capacitor, ensuring the capacitor is safely and stably mounted within the third mounting portion 30. The fastening structure can be disposed on the base plate 40 or the mounting shell 90 as needed. In this embodiment, the fastening structure is disposed on the mounting shell 90, allowing the capacitor to be connected to the mounting shell 90 via the fastening structure. Alternatively, a fastening structure can be added to the base plate 40, allowing the capacitor to be connected to both the base plate 40 and the mounting shell 90 simultaneously, further ensuring stable and reliable installation.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fastening structure can also be achieved by adhesive or other means, such as Velcro. When installing devices such as supercapacitors, the supercapacitor can be attached to the inner wall of the second mounting part 20 by Velcro, thereby achieving the installation and fixation of the supercapacitor. This can save parts and reduce costs.

[0061] Similar to the first mounting part 10, the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 in this embodiment also require air intake and heat dissipation. Therefore, both the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 have air inlets 21. The air inlets 21 can be formed by the top plate 100, the bottom plate 40, and the cover 50. The second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 are connected to the outside through their respective air inlets 21. Airflow enters the second mounting part 20 or the third mounting part 30 through the corresponding air inlets 21, thereby achieving heat dissipation for the internal components. Of course, if there is a situation in the second mounting part 20 or the third mounting part 30 where air intake and heat dissipation are not required, then the corresponding mounting part may not be provided with an air inlet 21.

[0062] In this embodiment, the server air duct also includes a baffle 80. The baffle 80 has a through hole 81 and is disposed at the air inlet 21, so that the part of the air inlet 21 that actually serves as the air intake is the part with the through hole 81, while the other part is blocked by the baffle 80 and cannot allow air to enter. This embodiment has multiple baffles 80, and at least two baffles 80 have different through holes 81. Each baffle 80 is interchangeably disposed at the air inlet 21. Thus, by replacing the baffle 80, the size of the through hole 81 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the air intake state of the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30, achieving flexible switching to adapt to different solutions. Most of the airflow that does not enter the second mounting part 20 and the third mounting part 30 through the through hole 81 will enter the first mounting part 10 under the action of the baffle 80, thereby further increasing the air intake of the first mounting part 10 and further improving the heat dissipation effect of the first mounting part 10.

[0063] To facilitate the installation of the baffle 80, a limiting rib, a buckle, or other stop structure can be installed on the inner wall of the air inlet 21. The stop structure secures the baffle 80 to the air inlet 21, ensuring safety during use. When the baffle 80 needs to be replaced, simply pull the baffle 80 upwards to release the limiting relationship between it and the stop structure.

[0064] In this embodiment, the server air duct also includes an indicator to show the airflow direction. At least one of the first mounting portion 10, the second mounting portion 20, and the third mounting portion 30 has an indicator on its outer wall. In this embodiment, an image showing the airflow direction is provided on the top outer surface of the cover 50 forming the first mounting portion 10 as an indicator, ensuring correct installation direction and preventing installation errors when the air duct is installed. In addition to the indicator, markings that can represent device model, type, or other information can also be provided on the cover 50 or other locations.

[0065] This embodiment also provides a server, including components and the aforementioned server air duct. The components include capacitors and a CPU, i.e., a central processing unit. The capacitors are installed at the second mounting part 20 and / or the third mounting part 30 of the server air duct. The capacitors may include ordinary capacitors and supercapacitors. Ordinary capacitors may be located at the third mounting part 30, and supercapacitors may be located at the second mounting part 20. The central processing unit is installed at the first mounting part 10 of the server air duct.

[0066] Example 2

[0067] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment does not have a removable baffle 80.

[0068] As shown in Figures 5 to 7, the server air guide cover of this embodiment also includes a ventilation plate 110. The ventilation plate 110 is integrally connected with the base plate 40. The ventilation plate 110 can be disposed on the air inlet side of the second mounting part 20 and / or the third mounting part 30, so that the ventilation plate 110 can serve as the side wall of the second mounting part 20 or the third mounting part 30. An air inlet 21 is provided on the ventilation plate 110, so that the airflow enters the second mounting part 20 and / or the third mounting part 30 through the air inlet 21 on the ventilation plate 110.

[0069] Since the ventilation plate 110 in this embodiment is integrated with the bottom plate 40, the cover 50, the top plate 100 and other components, the ventilation plate 110 is not detachable. Although it cannot adjust the size of the air inlet 21, it has better structural strength, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the server air guide cover.

[0070] In this embodiment, the ventilation plate 110 is inclined relative to the base plate 40. Along the airflow direction, the ventilation plate 110 is inclined towards the base plate 40, that is, along the airflow direction, the ventilation plate 110 is inclined from top to bottom. In this way, part of the airflow can act on the ventilation plate 110. Due to the shielding of the ventilation plate 110 and its inclined shape, part of the airflow acting on the ventilation plate 110 changes its flow direction under the guidance of the ventilation plate 110, and flows to other positions such as the surrounding first mounting part 10, thereby further increasing the air intake of the first mounting part 10 and improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0071] For the ventilation plate 110 at the second mounting portion 20, in this embodiment, the distance between the two sides of the ventilation plate 110 gradually increases along the direction of the surface of the ventilation plate 110 near the base plate 40. This allows the shape of the ventilation plate 110 to match the arrangement of the inclined segments 11. The inclined segments 11 of the two first mounting portions 10 can be connected to the aforementioned two sides of the ventilation plate 110, resulting in a smoother overall structure and better airflow guidance. The reason this embodiment only uses the above arrangement for the ventilation plate 110 at the second mounting portion is that the inclined segments 11 are only provided on the first side 12 of the first mounting portion 10; the ventilation plate 110 at the third mounting portion 30 does not need to adopt this arrangement. Of course, when the inclined segments 11 are also provided on the second side 13 of the first mounting portion 10, the ventilation plate 110 at the third mounting portion 30 can also adopt the above arrangement.

[0072] The inclined arrangement of the ventilation plate 110 described above can also be applied to the baffle 80 in Embodiment 1, and can achieve the same effect.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] The difference from Embodiment 1 is that the specific structural forms of the mounting structure 70 and the baffle 80 in this embodiment are different.

[0075] As shown in Figure 8, in this embodiment, the mounting structure 70 still includes a fixing claw located on the outer side of the side plate 60 and a fixing buckle located on the edge of the base plate 40. Both the fixing buckle and the fixing claw engage with the fixing structure on the server chassis. However, the difference is that in this embodiment, the fixing claw is a hook structure, while the fixing buckle is a hole structure, and the opening direction of the hole structure is the same as the airflow direction. Thus, when the fixing buckle engages with the fixing structure on the server chassis, the engagement of the two can restrict the lateral movement of the server air guide, and the structure of the fixing claw can restrict the longitudinal movement. Therefore, the lateral and longitudinal movements of the server air guide are restricted by the fixing buckle and the fixing claw, respectively, thereby improving the installation and fixing effect. At the same time, the server air guide may also include a guide hole, which can engage with the long pin on the server cover, so that the long pin can play a pre-guiding and limiting role.

[0076] It should be noted that the fixing buckle settings in Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 3 do not conflict, and both types of fixing buckles can be set simultaneously.

[0077] In this embodiment, the through holes 81 on the baffle 80 at the second mounting part 20 are arranged in multiple rows and columns in both the horizontal and vertical directions. This ensures the air intake of the second mounting part 20 and thus ensures the heat dissipation effect of the second mounting part 20.

[0078] It should be noted that "multiple" in the above embodiments refers to at least two.

[0079] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this application achieve the following technical effects:

[0080] 1. Solved the problem of poor heat dissipation effect of server air ducts in related technologies;

[0081] 2. The air intake volume of the first mounting section can be increased while the wind speed remains unchanged, thereby increasing the overall air intake volume and improving the heat dissipation effect of the internal components of the first mounting section;

[0082] 3. Inclined slopes can also refract sound waves, that is, change the wind speed gradient, thereby changing the direction of sound propagation in the air. The sound and the airflow are opposite, which hinders and weakens the noise, thus achieving the effect of reducing noise.

[0083] 4. The server air duct is mostly a one-piece structure, with only some small parts being detachable, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the server air duct.

[0084] 5. Multiple sides of the server air duct are connected and fixed to the server chassis to ensure a secure fit and prevent the server air duct from arching when there are many cables.

[0085] 6. The size of the through hole can be adjusted by replacing the baffle, thereby adjusting the air intake and other air intake states of the second and third mounting parts, achieving flexible switching to adapt to different schemes.

[0086] 7. The inclined ventilation plate causes part of the airflow acting on the ventilation plate to change direction under the guidance of the ventilation plate, so that it flows to other positions such as the first mounting part, thereby further increasing the air intake of the first mounting part and improving the heat dissipation effect.
