Include one or more removable fans 102 to cool down the element in servo rack 100 with ventilating air.Removable fan
102 may include one or more luffer boards (shutter) 104.Luffer boards 104 are operable to be at open mode and (that is, allows air-flow
Flow into) or it is in close pattern (that is, limiting air-flow inflow).In at least one embodiment, luffer boards 104 can be by detachable
Fan 102 activates.For example, when a removable fan 102 is operating (that is, discharging air), luffer boards 104 can be opened
To respond the air discharged.On the other hand, when a removable fan 102 is in operating (i.e. without discharging air),
Luffer boards 104 can be closed does not have air to discharge to respond.In another embodiment, luffer boards 104 can be activated by a mechanical switch.Example
If, mechanical switch can be according to the mechanical switch of time (time-based), pressure-sensitive mechanical switch or other kinds of machinery
Switch can be configured so that luffer boards 104 switch between two patterns.In another embodiment, luffer boards 104 can pass through an electronics
Actuation of the switch.For example, electronic switch can be any form or species (such as pressure, temperature, flow, relay etc.), its
Electronic signal can be received so that luffer boards 104 switch between two patterns.In another embodiment, luffer boards 104 can be according to servo
The internal temperature of device frame 100 is activated.For example, a Management Controller may be included in servo rack 100 and configure to control
The running of luffer boards 104 processed.In another embodiment, can be by sending a signal to the external management control of each removable fan 102
Device processed is controlling the running of luffer boards 104.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 is the interior views of the servo rack and baffle plate being shown under opening and closed mode.Servo
Device frame 100 may include one or more removable fans 102.Removable fan 102 is that hot-swappable (that is, it can be
Servomechanism still running when by servo rack 100 on remove).
In one embodiment, when removing on removable fan 102 is by servo rack 100, baffle plate 106A, 106B can
Positioned at a closed mode.For example, removable fan 102A can remove from servo rack 100.Baffle plate 106A, 106B pass through
Axostylus axostyle 108 is coupled to servo rack 100.Spring 110 can be coupled to axostylus axostyle 108.Baffle plate 106A, 106B can be configured to and utilize bullet
Spring 110 activates automatically.Specifically, baffle plate 106A, 106B can be automatically switched off to respond removable fan 102A from servomechanism
Frame 100 removes.
In one embodiment, when removable fan 102 inserts in servo rack 100, baffle plate 106C, 106D can positions
In an opening.For example, removable fan 102B can be inserted in servo rack 100.Baffle plate 106C, 106D pass through axle
Bar 108 is coupled to servo rack 100.Spring 110 can be coupled to axostylus axostyle 108.Baffle plate 106C, 106D can by spring 110 certainly
Dynamic actuating.Baffle plate 106C, 106D can automatically turn on to respond removable fan 102B insertion servo rack 100.
Baffle plate can have various configurations to prevent air-flow.In one embodiment, each opening bag on servo rack 100
Containing a baffle plate.In another embodiment, each opening on servo rack 100 comprises two panels baffle plate.In one embodiment, two
Piece baffle arrange-ment is vertically to open and close.In another embodiment, two panels baffle arrange-ment is flatly to open and close.So
And, in embodiments, the quantity of baffle plate and configuration variable.
Baffle plate can be made up of different materials.Baffle plate can be by the shunting that can prevent air-flow and determining of can bearing that spring 110 applies
Any material composition of power.In one embodiment, baffle plate can be made up of aluminium or other light-weight metals.In another embodiment, keep off
Plate can be made up of hard plastic or polymer.In another embodiment, the combination of previous materials is alternatively baffle plate and is utilized.
In certain embodiments, the single element that baffle plate and luffer boards 104 can be one of the forming.For example, as Fig. 4, Fig. 5
Shown, baffle plate 106A, 106B, 106C, 106D can be divided into one or more luffer boards 104 as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3.One or more
Luffer boards 104 may include one or more horizontal axostylus axostyles to support previous segmentation.
Fig. 6 is the enlarged drawing of the baffle plate representing servo rack.Each baffle plate may include an axostylus axostyle (to couple baffle plate to watching
Take device frame).Each axostylus axostyle 108 can be linked with spring 110 to be made baffle plate insert in removable fan 102 or automatically causes when removing
Dynamic.For example, in order to respond removing of removable fan 102, axostylus axostyle 108, spring 110 and baffle plate 106A, 106B's
Configuration may be selected so that baffle plate 106A, 106B swing and closes up and close opening.Specifically, baffle plate 106A, 106B can pass through
Spring 110 puts on the power of baffle plate 106A, 106B and is automatically switched off.
In certain embodiments, spring 110 can be configured to constantly baffle plate 106A, 106B be exerted a force.Therefore, in insertion
Or when removing removable fan 102, the elastic force that spring applies can automatically activate baffle plate 106A, 106B respectively and be turned on and off.
Spring 110 apply determine power powerful enough come to activate baffle plate 106A, 106B with respond removable fan 102 removing or insert
Enter.In another embodiment, spring can for a hinge mechanism, a hinge device, a cross bar mechanism, a weight mechanism or other
Any kind of mechanism gives baffle plate in order to exert a force.
It is appreciated that exemplary embodiments of the present invention and its advantage from described above.Ripe in the technical field of the invention
Know this operator, in the case of without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention or sacrifice its advantages all, a little change can be done
With retouching.Example discussed above is only that the present invention discloses preferable or exemplary example.
