Description

Server Cabinet

The present invention relates to a server cabinet, in particular to a server cabinet comprising a telescopic bracket and a windshield.

With the development and progress of science and technology, the server has been widely used in the company's line number and public units. Generally speaking, servers are mostly used in conjunction with network switches, and the servers and network switches are placed in a cabinet.

However, due to the existence of space between the left and right sides of the network switch and the opposite two walls of the cabinet, the cold air for cooling the network switch is likely to flow directly through this space, and cannot effectively flow directly to the network switch. device for heat dissipation. On the other hand, the hot air generated by the network switch may also flow through this space and meet the cold air, thereby affecting the cooling effect. Therefore, manufacturers are currently working on solving the aforementioned problems.

The present invention is to provide a server cabinet, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that cold air is easy to flow directly through the space between the network switch and the cabinet, and the hot air generated by the network switch may flow through the space and meet the cold air. The problem.

An embodiment of the present invention discloses a server cabinet for accommodating a switch, including a cabinet, at least one telescopic bracket and at least one windshield. The cabinet has two opposite first side bars. The telescopic bracket includes a guide portion and an adjustment portion slidably arranged on the guide portion. The guiding part and the adjusting part of the telescopic bracket are respectively installed on the two first side bars. The wind deflector is connected to the guide portion, and the wind deflector is located between the two first side bars, and the wind deflector is positioned on one side of the exchanger to guide the air flow to the exchanger.

According to the server cabinet disclosed in the above embodiments, the guide part and the adjustment part of the telescopic bracket are respectively installed on the two first side bars of the cabinet body, so that the wind shield connected to the guide part is located in the two first side bars. It is located between the edge strips and is located on one side of the exchanger, so the air baffle can isolate the hot air generated by the exchanger from the cold air that dissipates heat for the exchanger, and guide the cold air to the exchanger, so that the cold air can be effectively used for the exchanger. heat dissipation.
