The server further comprises a heating module 300 which can radiate heat after being electrified, is detachably connected with the case body 100, and is located above the installation area 200 and close to the top of the inner cavity of the case body 100. The blowing device 400 includes an air outlet 410 with an adjustable angle, which is located between the installation area 200 and the heating module 300, and the heat released from the heating module 300 flows to the installation area 200 through the air outlet 410. The outdoor server further comprises a controller 500, which is connected with the functional module, the heating module 300 and the air supply device 400 in a communication way.

When the outdoor temperature is too low (lower than 0 ℃), the controller 500 controls the heating module 300 and the air supply device 400 with the angle adjustable air outlet 410 in the server case to supply heat to the functional modules in the server, so that the outdoor server still has the temperature condition required by normal work in a low-temperature environment, the long-term stable operation of each functional module in the case is ensured, and the problem that the normal working temperature cannot be supplied in the server case in the low-temperature environment is effectively solved.

Although the ventilation outlet is not designed on the case body 100, the case body is not completely sealed. The controller 500 may be remotely operated on a computer. The heating module 300 radiates heat, and the heat fills the entire casing body 100 through the blowing device 400, so that the environment in the entire casing body 100 is maintained at a proper temperature. The heating time may be controlled according to the amount of heat released per unit time under different powers of the heating module 300, the volume of the inner space of the cabinet body 100, and the outdoor temperature change.

At this time, a fan 430 is installed in the fan housing 420, and the air outlets 410 are enclosed to form an independent rectangular structure. The heat released from the heating module 300 is sucked into the through flow channel by the separate fan 430 and then blown to the mounting region 200 located below, thereby continuously heating the surrounding environment where each function module of the server is located. The heating control of the heating module 300 and the rotation speed of the fan 430 are controlled by the controller 500.
