The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different aspects of the invention.
Rack-mounted electronic devices, such as rack-mounted servers, are a common server architecture with good stability, security, and data processing capabilities. The length, the height and the width of the chassis of the rack-mounted server have unified standards, and functional units such as a main board, a hard disk, an optical floppy drive, a memory, a CPU, a radiator, a control card, a power supply and the like are assembled in the chassis to realize specific functions.
As rack-mounted electronic devices have increased performance requirements, functional modules need to be extended to meet the required performance requirements, however, there is currently no space available inside to extend performance due to the limitations of standard dimensions and internal device dimensions of the rack-mounted devices. For example, currently, rack-mounted electronic devices such as servers or storage devices have increasingly higher requirements for storage density or computing capability, and servers need to continuously increase hard disk storage capacity to meet the storage density requirements, or utilize GPU components to increase the computing capability requirements. For the rack server, if storage capacity expansion is required, on one hand, no redundant space is left in the rack server for hard disk number expansion, and the direct increase of the hard disk number occupies extra space and the size of the rack server needs to be changed, so that the rack server cannot adapt to the integral cabinet machine. On the other hand, because the electronic components in the rack server release larger heat when the rack server works, the service life of the components with large heat productivity such as a power supply, a CPU (Central processing Unit), a display card and the like at the back of the machine box can be reduced in an overheated environment for a long time, so that the number of hard disks is directly increased or the components of the GPU are inserted to bring about heat dissipation and stability risks, the problem of heat dissipation needs to be solved, and if the heat sink is directly added, more effective space in the machine box is occupied. On the other hand, if the size of the hard disk is to be kept unchanged, the direct adoption of the large-capacity hard disk is limited by the technology, and the realization is difficult.
Therefore, compared with the related art, the embodiment of the invention provides a rack-mounted electronic device, which comprises: the equipment comprises an equipment shell, a main board and a liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly, wherein the equipment shell is provided with a first height, the first height is a standard height suitable for rack mounting, the main board is arranged in the equipment shell, the main board is provided with the CPU assembly, the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly is arranged above the CPU assembly and used for dissipating heat for the CPU assembly, and the sum of the heights of the main board, the CPU assembly and the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly is a second height; and the expansion module is arranged above the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly, and the expansion module is provided with a third height, and the sum of the third height and the second height is smaller than or equal to the first height. According to the embodiment, on the premise that the standard size of the rack-mounted equipment is not changed, the storage capacity or the computing capacity of a hard disk in the rack-mounted electronic equipment can be effectively improved, the application range of the rack-mounted electronic equipment is expanded, and the product competitiveness is improved.
Embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In this embodiment, the rack-mounted electronic device has different specifications of 2U, 4U, 6U, or 8U, where 1U (1u=1.75 inches=44.45 mm), and a rack-mounted server will be described below as an example.
Rack servers are installed in standard 19 inch cabinets, typically functional servers. Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of a rack structure of a rack server in the related art.
Referring to fig. 1, a rack server with 2U specifications has a main structure of a rack structure 100, where the rack structure 100 includes an equipment housing 110, and the equipment housing 110 is sequentially arranged in the following manner: a basic hard disk module 120, a fan module 130, a heat sink 140, a motherboard 150, and a rear card 160. The basic hard disk module 120 is composed of a plurality of hard disks, for example, 12 hard disks with a size of 3.5 inches or 25 hard disks with a size of 2.5 inches are commonly used for realizing the storage function of the rack server; the fan module 130 is used for radiating heat; the main board 150 has a size of about 400mm long and 400mm wide, a CPU assembly (not shown) is mounted above the main board 150, a depth space of about 400mm is provided above the main board 150, and the heat sink 140 is located on the main board 150 for dissipating heat from the CPU assembly and other components; the rear plug-in card 160 is an extended functional component, and is used for implementing functional extension on the rack server in a hot plug manner.
Referring to fig. 2, a partial enlarged view of the main board portion in fig. 1 is shown.
As can be seen in fig. 1 and 2, the heat sink 140 is mounted on the main board 150, and the heat sink 140 has a relatively high height, and occupies the entire height space above the main board 150 of the rack structure 100, and the heights of other components (such as the basic hard disk module 120, the fan module 130, the main board 150, and the rear card 160) are located in the space of about 1U in the lower half of the height of the rack structure 100.
As can be seen from the contents of fig. 1 and 2, the height of the radiator in the rack structure of the related art affects the overall height of the rack structure, and the space of the depth 1U above the motherboard is not fully utilized. Therefore, in order to expand the capacity without changing the size of the chassis, the present embodiment optimizes and reforms the rack structure of the rack-mounted electronic device.
In one embodiment, the related art radiator is replaced with a liquid-cooled radiator assembly that is more powerful but smaller in size, so as to make room for expansion from the rack structure. Referring to fig. 3, a schematic diagram of a radiator and a liquid-cooled radiator module in this embodiment is shown. As can be seen from fig. 3, in the related art, the 2U rack-mounted server uses an air-cooled radiator, which has a large volume, a large number of heat pipes and a large height, so that the space occupies a large part of the depth space above the motherboard, while in this embodiment, the air-cooled radiator is replaced by a liquid-cooled radiator assembly with a smaller height for heat dissipation, and as can be seen in fig. 3, the liquid-cooled radiator assembly adopted in this embodiment is lower than the height of the radiator in the related art, so that a space with a certain depth can be reserved in the space above the motherboard for expansion.
Referring to fig. 4, an installation schematic diagram of a liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.
In fig. 4, the main board 150 includes: the CPU module, the liquid cooling heat dissipation module 170 is installed on the CPU module, and dissipates heat for the CPU module.

In one embodiment, the liquid-cooled heat sink assembly 170 may be a liquid-cooled cold plate heat sink or a two-phase flow heat sink, wherein the liquid-cooled heat sink comprises: an open-loop radiator and a closed-loop radiator, the two-phase flow radiator comprising: loop heat pipe heat sinks and loop gravity assisted heat pipe (Loop Thermosiphon, LTS) heat sinks.

The water cooling block is a metal block with a water channel inside, is made of copper or aluminum, is contacted with the CPU and absorbs the heat of the CPU; the circulating liquid flows in the circulating pipeline under the action of the water pump, the liquid absorbing the heat of the CPU flows away from the water cooling block on the CPU, and the new low-temperature circulating liquid continuously absorbs the heat of the CPU; the water pipe is connected with the water pump, the water cooling block and the water tank, and the circulating liquid can circularly flow in a closed channel without leakage, so that the liquid cooling heat dissipation system can work normally; the water tank is used for storing circulating liquid, the heat exchanger is a device similar to a radiating fin, the circulating liquid transfers heat to the radiating fin with large surface area, and a fan on the radiating fin takes away heat flowing into air.
For the two-phase flow radiator in this embodiment, at least one phase in a flow system is fluid, the two-phase flow radiator is driven by power such as a pump or a compressor to provide power, bubbles in the liquid are continuously generated, separated and broken on the heat exchange wall surface, and the power such as the pump and the compressor drives the cooling working medium to flow on the heat exchange surface, so that heat dissipation is realized.
According to the embodiment, the liquid cooling radiating component is used for replacing the radiator, the height is reduced, and the depth space is reserved above the main board for capacity expansion. Referring to fig. 5, a schematic diagram of a rack structure according to an embodiment of the invention is shown.
Fig. 5 is optimized on the basis of fig. 1, the rack structure 100 comprising an equipment housing 110, the equipment housing 110 being of a frame structure, the equipment housing 110 having a first height h 1 First height h 1 To accommodate standard heights for rack-mounted installations, such as 2U, 4U, 6U, or 8U.

The expansion module 180 is disposed in a depth space reserved above the motherboard 150, and the motherboard 150 and the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170 are below the expansion module 180, where the motherboard 150 and the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170 are not shown in the figure, and specific structural relationships are as follows:

Referring to fig. 2, the motherboard 150 further has low-height components, which are disposed adjacent to the CPU assembly, and the expansion module 180 covers the heat dissipation assembly 170 and the upper side of the low-height components, wherein the low-height components include a memory bank assembly and other necessary components for implementing the motherboard function.
The liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170 is mounted on the CPU assembly to dissipate heat for the CPU assembly and the memory bank assembly, wherein the sum of the heights of the motherboard 150, the CPU assembly 152 and the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170 is a second height h 2
The expansion module 180 is located above the motherboard 150, specifically: above the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170, the expansion module 180 has a third height h 3 In one embodiment, a third height h 3 And a second height h 2 The sum is smaller than or equal to the first height h 1 That is, after the liquid cooling heat dissipation assembly 170 and the expansion module 180 are installed inside the equipment housing 110, the height of the equipment housing 110 still meets the standard size of the rack-mounted equipment, for example, the expansion module housing 182 is clamped in the equipment housing 110, and when the expansion module housing 182 is placed flat, the upper surface of the expansion module housing 182 is flush with the upper surface of the equipment housing 110 or slightly lower than the upper surface of the equipment housing 110, that is, the expansion module 180 can be placed inside the equipment housing 110.
In one embodiment, when the first height h 1 At a second height h of 2U 2 May be about 1U, i.e. the second height h 2 A height less than or equal to 1U, or a height greater than a preset error value of 1U, is expressed as: 1U-sigma is less than or equal to h 2 And less than or equal to 1 U+sigma, wherein sigma represents a preset error value, and can be any value from 1mm to 17mm, and the specific limitation is not included herein.
Referring to fig. 6, a schematic diagram of an expansion module structure in this embodiment is shown.
As can be seen in fig. 6, the expansion module 180 includes: at least one expansion unit 181, expansion module casing 182 and cable 184, wherein at least one expansion unit 181 is pegged graft in expansion module casing 182, expansion module casing 182 installs in equipment housing 110, expansion module casing 182 passes through cable 184 and mainboard 150 communication connection.

Wherein the expansion module housing upper cover 1821, the expansion module housing bottom plate 1823, the two expansion module housing side plates 1828 and the housing back plate 1824 constitute a frame structure, and the expansion module housing partition plate 1822 divides the frame structure into receiving areas, i.e. mounting grooves, of the at least two expansion units 181, the at least two mounting grooves corresponding to the at least two expansion units.
The extension unit 181 is inserted in the corresponding mounting groove and is in communication connection with the housing backboard 1824, the housing backboard 1824 is in communication connection with the motherboard 150 through the cable 184, that is, one end of the extension unit 181 is in contact with the housing backboard 1824, and then is in communication connection with the motherboard 150 through the cable 184, so that the storage capacity or the computing capacity of the hard disk can be increased.

In an embodiment, if the expansion unit 181 is a CPU component, the power of the CPU component is 250W or more, for example 350W or 400W. Because the higher the power of the CPU is, the more the heat is generated, if the air-cooled radiator is adopted, the size of the air-cooled radiator is larger, so the high-performance small-size liquid-cooled radiating component adopted in the embodiment can adapt to the high-power CPU component, and the operation performance of the rack server can be improved.
In an embodiment, when the expansion unit 181 is a hard disk assembly, the height range of the expansion module 180 is: 22mm to 32mmThird height h 3 The height range of (2) is: 22mm to 32mm, for example 27mm may be used. In this embodiment, 4 receiving areas are shown in fig. 6, into which 4 expansion units 181 can be plugged.
