Detailed Description
For the purpose of making the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it is apparent that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the invention without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
In the cold plate type liquid cooling technology, a cooling liquid is separated from an object to be cooled so that the cooling liquid is not in direct contact with an electronic device, but heat of the object to be cooled is transferred to a refrigerant by a high-efficiency heat conduction member such as a liquid cooling plate, and thus the cold plate type liquid cooling technology is also called an indirect liquid cooling technology. The cold plate type liquid cooling technology directly guides the coolant to the heat source, and meanwhile, the heat dissipation speed is far higher than that of air because the specific heat of the liquid is higher than that of the air, so that the refrigeration efficiency is far higher than that of air cooling heat dissipation.
The cold plate type liquid cooling is characterized in that a liquid cooling pipeline for conveying cooling liquid is arranged in the server cabinet, so that the conveying flow of the cooling liquid can be monitored in real time generally for maintaining higher heat dissipation efficiency, and the normal and stable operation of the server is further ensured. However, monitoring of server stability is currently performed mainly by controlling the flow rate of the coolant delivered by the cooling device to the object to be cooled, i.e. by delivering a coolant at a low temperature and at a flow rate that meets the requirements. However, the existing solution does not control the backflow of the cooling liquid, and because the cooling device needs to circulate to cool the backflow liquid again, when the backflow liquid has an abnormal condition, the cooling device may not improve enough cooling liquid to be delivered to the object to be cooled, and therefore, when the backflow abnormality occurs to the cooling liquid, the influence on the overall stability of the server is objectively present.
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart of a method for controlling backflow of a cooling liquid according to the present invention, and as shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a method for controlling backflow of a cooling liquid, including:
and 101, acquiring cooling liquid flow rate data in a liquid cooling output pipeline of a cooling device, wherein the cooling device is used for cooling reflux liquid conveyed by a liquid cooling plate of a liquid cooling server after the cooling liquid flows through the liquid cooling plate.
In the invention, a flow rate meter is arranged between a cooling liquid output end of a cooling device and an object to be cooled, for example, the cooling liquid is conveyed from the cooling device to a liquid cooling output pipeline and then flows through a liquid cooling cold plate of a central processing unit (Central Processing Unit, CPU) of a server, and the flow rate of the cooling liquid in the liquid cooling output pipeline is monitored by the flow rate meter, so that flow rate data of the cooling liquid conveyed by the liquid cooling cold plate at the CPU is obtained. In the present invention, in order to ensure that the coolant flow in the liquid cooling server is balanced, the flow rates of the coolant output from the cooling device and the coolant input to the cooling device need to be kept identical, that is, when there is no abnormality in the flow rate of the coolant, the flow rate of the coolant and the flow rate of the coolant (i.e., coolant flow rate data) are identical, and accordingly, a flow rate meter may be provided on the side of the coolant input pipe of the cooling device to monitor the flow rate of the coolant.
And 102, determining target reflux flow rate data based on the resource occupancy rate of the liquid cooling server.
In the invention, the target reflux flow rate data can be preset, and can also be determined according to the occupancy rate of various resources (such as a CPU, a memory, a hard disk and the like) in the liquid cooling server by utilizing the existing constructed mapping relation between the occupancy rate of the resources and the flow rate of the reflux liquid.
And step 103, generating corresponding target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data according to the cooling liquid flow rate data and the target reflux liquid flow rate data.
In the invention, when the cooling liquid flow rate data and the target reflux liquid flow rate data are kept consistent, judging that the current reflux liquid flow rate has no abnormal condition; when the coolant flow rate data is greater than or less than the target return flow rate data, it is determined that there is an abnormality in the current flow rate of the return fluid, and the flow rate of the return fluid needs to be controlled, for example, when the flow rate of the coolant flow rate data is less than the target return flow rate data, it means that the current flow rate of the return fluid is low, and the flow rate of the return fluid needs to be adjusted high.
And 104, controlling the flow rate of the reflux liquid delivered to the cooling device according to the target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data.
In the invention, after judging and knowing that the abnormal condition exists in the reflux liquid at the current moment, the target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data is obtained by calculation according to the cooling liquid flow rate data and the target reflux liquid flow rate data, so that the flow rate of the reflux liquid which is transmitted to the cooling device is controlled, for example, the flow rate of the reflux liquid is too slow (namely, the cooling liquid flow rate data is smaller than the target reflux liquid flow rate data), and the flow rate of the current reflux liquid needs to be improved.
According to the cooling liquid reflux control method provided by the invention, the cooling liquid flow rate data in the liquid cooling output pipeline of the cooling device is obtained, so that corresponding target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data is generated according to the cooling liquid flow rate data and the target reflux liquid flow rate data, the flow rate of reflux liquid conveyed to the cooling device is controlled, and the influence of abnormal reflux of the cooling liquid on the overall stability of the server is avoided.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the generating the corresponding target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data according to the cooling liquid flow rate data and the target reflux liquid flow rate data includes:
acquiring a reflux liquid flow adjustment weight and a target adjustment strategy according to the cooling liquid flow velocity data and the target reflux liquid flow velocity data;
and generating corresponding target reflux flow rate adjustment data according to the reflux flow rate adjustment weight and the target adjustment strategy.
In the invention, a target adjustment strategy can be first determined according to the comparison relation between the cooling fluid flow rate data and the target reflux fluid flow rate data, namely whether the current reflux fluid flow rate input to the cooling device is increased or decreased is judged; then, according to the comparison relation, a reflux liquid flow adjustment weight, for example, a difference value between the cooling liquid flow data and the target reflux liquid flow data is generated, and then the increase rate or the decrease rate of the flow rate of the reflux liquid in unit time is calculated by combining the difference value with the target reflux liquid flow data, so that the problem that the cooling liquid of the whole liquid cooling system is balanced and unbalanced due to direct adjustment of the flow rate of the reflux liquid is avoided.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, the generating, according to the reflux liquid flow rate adjustment weight and the target adjustment policy, corresponding target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data includes:
determining the reflux flow rate adjustment weight based on a difference between the coolant flow rate data and the target reflux flow rate data;
according to the reflux flow speed adjustment weight, the target reflux flow speed data and a preset reflux flow speed adjustment unit time, obtaining a reflux flow change rate;
if the coolant flow rate data is larger than the target reflux flow rate data, determining that the target adjustment strategy is a reflux flow rate reduction strategy, and generating corresponding target reflux flow rate adjustment data according to the reflux flow rate change rate and the reflux flow rate reduction strategy;
and if the cooling fluid flow rate data is smaller than the target reflux fluid flow rate data, determining that the target adjustment strategy is a reflux fluid flow rate lifting strategy, and generating corresponding target reflux fluid flow rate adjustment data according to the reflux fluid change rate and the reflux fluid flow rate lifting strategy.
In the present invention, the target adjustment strategy is determined based on the size between the coolant flow rate data and the target reflux flow rate data, for example, when the coolant flow rate data is 1.8 m/s, the target reflux flow rate data is 2.0 m/s, and the reflux flow rate needs to be raised at this time; further, according to a reflux liquid flow speed adjusting weight formula, obtaining a reflux liquid flow speed adjusting weight, wherein the reflux liquid flow speed adjusting weight formula is as follows:
wherein ω represents reflux flow velocity adjustment weight, V 1 Representing coolant flow data, V 2 Indicating target reflux flow rate data.
Further, the reflux liquid change rate is calculated by a reflux liquid change rate formula, wherein the formula is as follows:
ΔV=ω×V 2 ×T;
wherein DeltaV represents the reflux liquid change rate, and T represents the preset reflux liquid flow rate adjustment unit time. In an embodiment, the preset reflux flow speed adjustment unit time is illustrated as 1 minute, when the flow speed data of the cooling liquid is 1.8 m/s and the target reflux flow speed data is 2.0 m/s, the reflux flow speed adjustment weight omega is 0.1, and then the reflux flow change rate is calculated according to the reflux change rate formula to obtain the reflux flow change rate of 0.2 m/min, that is, the flow speed lifting rate of the reflux is 0.2 m/min, so that the flow speed data of the cooling liquid is lifted to the target reflux flow speed data at a constant speed, and the relative balance of the flow speed of the cooling liquid in the pipeline is ensured all the time when the flow speed of the cooling liquid in the liquid cooling system is adjusted.
On the basis of the above embodiment, before the generating the corresponding target reflux flow rate adjustment data according to the coolant flow rate data and the target reflux flow rate data, the method further includes:
acquiring a difference between the coolant flow rate data and the target reflux flow rate data;
and if the difference value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, generating a high-risk early warning strategy, and executing closing operation on the liquid cooling server through the high-risk early warning strategy.
In the invention, when the difference between the coolant flow rate data and the target reflux flow rate data is larger, namely exceeds a preset threshold, the scheme for adjusting the reflux flow rate can be judged to be incapable of ensuring the stability of the liquid cooling server, the serious problems of pipeline liquid leakage and the like can occur, and the server safety risk is high. At this time, the liquid cooling server needs to be turned off, and the liquid cooling server is restarted after the risk elimination is determined.
Based on the above embodiment, the determining the target reflux stream flow rate data based on the resource occupancy rate of the liquid cooling server includes:
acquiring the resource occupancy rate of each resource in the liquid cooling server, wherein the resource at least comprises a central processing unit, a memory and a hard disk in the liquid cooling server;
and determining target reflux liquid flow rate data according to the mapping relation between the resource occupancy rate of each resource and the preset reflux liquid flow rate.
In the invention, the target reflux flow rate data can be obtained from a user side (such as an operation and maintenance user side) in a setting mode. Preferably, according to the current time of the liquid cooling server (a preset time can be set, when the preset time is reached, a target reflux flow rate data is determined according to the resource occupancy rate), the resource occupancy rate of each resource in the liquid cooling server, such as the occupancy rate of devices such as a CPU, a memory and a hard disk, is determined according to the resource occupancy rate obtained at the current time by utilizing the mapping relationship between the resource occupancy rate constructed in advance and the preset reflux flow rate.
On the basis of the foregoing embodiment, after the determining the target reflux liquid flow rate data based on the resource occupancy rate of the liquid cooling server, the method further includes:
acquiring temperature data of each resource in the liquid cooling server;
and adjusting the target reflux flow rate data based on the temperature data of each resource and the preset temperature to obtain adjusted target reflux flow rate data.
In the invention, after the target reflux flow rate data is determined, the target reflux flow rate data can be modified according to the temperature data and the preset temperature of the resources at the current moment, for example, the preset temperature is 70 ℃, but the temperature data of each resource at the current moment is 85 ℃ (the resource at the highest temperature at the current moment can be used as a reference object), the target reflux flow rate data is required to be adjusted according to the difference between the real-time temperature data and the preset temperature (namely, the numerical value of the target reflux flow rate data is further improved), so that the adjusted reflux flow rate can keep the temperature of each resource within a reasonable range while ensuring the resource occupancy rate, and the stability of the liquid cooling server is improved.
On the basis of the above embodiment, after the flow rate of the reflux liquid delivered to the cooling device is controlled by the target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data, the method further includes:
and when the flow speed of the reflux liquid conveyed to the cooling device reaches the target reflux liquid flow speed data, monitoring the operation state of the liquid cooling server to generate corresponding operation state monitoring data.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a monitoring process of a liquid cooling server based on a control method for controlling backflow of a cooling liquid, which can be referred to as shown in FIG. 2, in the invention, first, a target backflow flow rate data is determined, i.e. by inputting a verification flow rate, so as to detect whether a real-time flow rate meets the verification flow rate through a subsequent step; then, judging whether the coolant flow rate data meets the verification flow rate by acquiring the reading of the flowmeter, and adjusting the flow rate of the coolant return to a target value by adjusting a related device such as a flow rate valve when the coolant flow rate data does not meet the verification flow rate; further, when it is determined that the flow rate of the reflux liquid delivered to the cooling device reaches the target reflux liquid flow rate data, performing a complete machine pressure test on the operation state of the liquid cooling server, that is, monitoring performance of each resource and sensor index data in the liquid cooling server under the condition that the flow rate of the reflux liquid is in a normal state, specifically, monitoring each sensor data of the liquid cooling server: CPU temperature, memory temperature, air inlet temperature, air outlet temperature, etc., and the resource occupancy rate of the server, for example: CPU occupancy rate, memory occupancy rate, hard disk occupancy rate, etc.; and finally, analyzing how long the liquid cooling server to be tested can reach what kind of occupancy rate and stably run under the current reflux flow rate condition according to the operation state monitoring data obtained by monitoring, thereby forming the whole machine pressure test data of the liquid cooling server under the normal reflux flow rate condition.
On the basis of the above embodiment, after the flow rate of the reflux liquid delivered to the cooling device is controlled by the target reflux liquid flow rate adjustment data, the method further includes:
after determining that the flow rate of the reflux liquid delivered to the cooling device reaches the target reflux liquid flow rate data, receiving a first input, wherein the first input comprises an operation of determining a reflux liquid test flow rate adjustment strategy when the liquid cooling server performs a pressure test, and the reflux liquid test flow rate adjustment strategy at least comprises flow rate increment adjustment, flow rate decrement adjustment and flow rate fluctuation adjustment;

Specifically, after the control of the flow rate of the reflux liquid is completed through the above embodiment, it is first determined whether the occupancy rate of each resource in the liquid cooling server to be tested is constant, that is, the current occupancy rate parameters of each resource are relatively stable, if the required pressure test condition is not reached, recalibrating or waiting for the occupancy rate to be in a stable state (after the flow rate of the reflux liquid is adjusted to the target flow rate data of the reflux liquid, the cooling liquid needs a certain time to be transferred to related electronic devices to transfer heat); further, after the pressure test condition is met, a corresponding reflux liquid test flow rate adjustment strategy is executed, so that the reflux liquid flow rate is increased, decreased or severely fluctuated, and the influence of the reflux liquid flow rate change on the overall stability of the liquid cooling server is tested.
Further, in this embodiment, the current flow rate of the reflux liquid is obtained in real time through the flowmeter, then different reflux liquid test flow rate adjustment strategies are sequentially adopted to perform incremental adjustment, decremental adjustment and fluctuation adjustment on the flow rate of the reflux liquid, and in each adjustment process, the overall stability of the liquid cooling server under the current adjustment strategy is monitored, for example, in the fluctuation adjustment strategy, the flow rate of the reflux liquid can rise and fall along with time, and different flow rate change frequencies can be set according to test requirements. In this embodiment, the liquid cooling server runs the whole machine pressure test, including but not limited to CPU pressure, memory pressure, hard disk pressure and network card pressure, and then, uses the network connector to connect with the liquid cooling server network to obtain the resource occupancy rate of the liquid cooling server, and determines whether the occupancy rate of each resource or hardware of the liquid cooling server to be tested fluctuates under the conditions of increasing, decreasing or severely fluctuating flow rate of the reflux liquid, so as to accurately obtain the influence of the flow rate of the reflux liquid on the stability of the liquid cooling server, and then, according to the corresponding server pressure test data, decides the corresponding countermeasure when the actual flow rate of the reflux liquid is abnormal.
