A data center generally refers to a building for storing IT equipment, and the data center may include a plurality of functional rooms, such as a power distribution room, a parallel room, an IT machine room, and so on, in order to ensure the normal operation of the IT equipment. The IT equipment, such as servers, storage devices, etc., is generally placed in a cabinet of an IT machine room. Before the newly-built data center is put into use, the running conditions of all aspects of the newly-built data center can be tested in advance so as to eliminate various hidden dangers. The temperature, humidity, airflow organization, heat dissipation performance, power environment information and the like of the IT equipment serving as the external operation environment of the IT equipment in the IT machine room influence the operation performance of the IT equipment, so that whether the normal operation of the IT equipment can be ensured in the environment of the IT machine room is necessarily tested. In the current test mode, a dummy load is used to replace the IT equipment or the cabinet, and the dummy load is placed in an IT machine room or a cabinet of the data center for testing. Because the air exhaust performance or size of the IT equipment has great influence on the environmental parameters where the IT equipment is located, the real size or air exhaust condition of the IT equipment or the cabinet can be really simulated, and the accuracy of the test result is very important. The dummy load adopted in the prior art is difficult to truly simulate the working state of the IT equipment in all aspects, so that objective and scientific test data cannot be obtained.
As shown in fig. 1 and fig. 2, the utility model provides a load testing device for data center, its characterized in that includes: a housing 1, a load circuit 2, at least one fan 3; the shell 1 comprises a first shell 11 and a second shell 12, wherein the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are movably connected with each other and form an accommodating cavity 17; the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are configured to be capable of adjusting the size of the accommodating cavity 17 through movement; the load circuit 2 and the fan 3 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 17.
When the load testing device is used for testing, the load testing device is placed in an environment to be tested, the running state of actual IT equipment is simulated, and simulation testing is carried out. During testing, because the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are movably connected, the size of the accommodating cavity 17 formed by the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is adjusted through movement between the first housing 11 and the second housing 12, and the size of the accommodating cavity 17 is equivalent to the appearance size of real IT equipment. In addition, a plurality of fans 3 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 17, the number of the fans 3 can be set according to the air exhaust condition of the IT equipment or the cabinet to be simulated, and the distribution mode of the fans 3 can also be arranged by simulating the air exhaust condition of real IT equipment or the cabinet and the like, so that the real simulation of the air exhaust performance and the appearance size of the load testing device can be realized, and more accurate test data can be obtained. The testing personnel can adjust the environmental parameters of the whole IT machine room according to the test result, and the IT equipment can be ensured to keep the best running state in the IT machine room.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, optionally, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are box structures, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are movably connected by a sliding rail 14 in a first direction; the slide rail 14 includes a nut 142 and a hollow rail 141, and the nut 142 and the hollow rail 141 are respectively and correspondingly mounted on the first housing 11 and the second housing 12. When IT equipment is generally placed in a cabinet for operation, the cabinet is generally in a box structure. In order to simulate the appearance shape more truly, the load testing device in the present solution is also configured as a box structure, and in the first direction of the box structure, the movable connection manner of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is realized by adopting a sliding rail 14. When the slide rail 14 is connected, the overlapping size of the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 can be adjusted quickly and smoothly by matching the nut 142 with the hollow rail 141, so as to change the size of the accommodating cavity 17 formed by the two. The adjusting mode is low in cost, the sliding rails 14 can be arranged on one surface of the shell 1, the sliding rails 14 can be arranged on a plurality of surfaces of the shell 1, the more the sliding rails 14 are arranged, the more the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are matched flexibly, the load testing device can be adjusted to be close to the actual IT equipment or equipment cabinet in size, and the testing efficiency is improved. The first housing 11 and the second housing 12 may be movably connected by other methods, for example, the first housing 11 is directly sleeved on the second housing 12, and the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are in clearance fit with each other, so that the size of the accommodating cavity 17 can be adjusted by directly pulling the first housing 11 or the second housing 12.
Preferably, in the implementation of the above solution, a plurality of detent notches (not shown in the figure) are provided on the slide rail 14. The clamping notch can be arranged on the slide rail 14, and when the nut 142 slides on the hollow slide rail 14, the positioning can be set through the clamping notch, so that the situation that the size of the load testing device is changed due to the fact that the slide rail 14 and the nut 142 cannot be fastened at a fixed position in a matched mode after the size of the load testing device is adjusted is avoided. The clamping gap and the nut 142 can be in interference fit, and the nut 142 can slide out of the clamping gap only by applying force slightly, so that the adjusted load testing device can be prevented from changing in size, and the nut 142 and the clamping gap can be prevented from being too fastened to be difficult to adjust.
As shown in fig. 1, optionally, in the first direction, the adjustable range of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 is 500-1000 mm. Generally, the size width of the IT equipment or the cabinet is not suitable to be too large or too small, and the IT equipment or the cabinet is difficult to manufacture and inconvenient to carry if being too large; if the size is too small, heat is easily generated, and the heat dissipation is not good, which affects the operation performance. The size adjusting range set by the scheme can basically simulate the sizes of various common IT equipment or cabinets.
Optionally, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are sized to be 1U, 2U, or 3U in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The height dimension of a typical IT device is 1U, 2U or 3U. (1U is a noun 1U-1.75 inches-4.445 centimeters for height; U is a unit for external dimensions of the server, an abbreviation for unit, the detailed dimensions being determined by the american Electronic Industries Association (EIA), which is a group of industries.) since IT devices are generally servers, this height dimension can exactly simulate the height dimension of a commonly used server, and more precisely the size of the server.
As shown in fig. 1, the adjustment size in the first direction and the adjustment size in the second direction may be set according to the size of the actual server, the combination manner is flexible, and the size standard of the common server can be basically covered, so that the final test data has more referential property.
As shown in fig. 4, optionally, exhaust ports 13 corresponding to the number of the fans 3 are provided on the housing 1 at positions corresponding to the fans 3. The air outlet 13 of the IT equipment is particularly important for the heat dissipation of the equipment and can directly influence the running state of the equipment. The number of the air outlets 13 arranged in the scheme is consistent with that of the fans 3, 3 air outlets are arranged in the figure, distributed air exhaust modes can be truly simulated, and the test accuracy is further improved.
As shown in fig. 2, optionally, a power switch button 16 is disposed on the housing 1, and the load circuit 2 is provided with a power inlet 18; the power switch button 16 is configured to control the connection and disconnection of the power inlet 18 and the load circuit 2. The power interface is used for accessing a power supply and supplying power to the whole load circuit 2. The power switch button 16 is arranged so that power can be conveniently and timely cut off when an accident occurs in the test process, and therefore a cable or a load test device can not be burnt.
As shown in fig. 4 and 5, optionally, a power supply hole 15 is provided on the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the power supply inlet 18, and the power supply inlet 18 is connected to a power supply through the power supply hole 15. The power supply hole 15 is arranged on the shell 1, and can fix the power supply and the connection relation between the power supply interfaces on the shell 1, so that the situations of cable pulling and accidental power failure in the test process are prevented when more equipment and cables are used.
Optionally, a temperature sensor integrated in the housing 1 and an air volume sensor (not shown) disposed near the fan 3 are also included. The temperature sensor can be used for monitoring the ambient temperature of the load testing device in real time so as to adjust the ambient temperature at any time.
Optionally, the load circuit 2 is provided with at least two power inlets 18; the at least one power inlet 18 is adapted to be connected to a load testing device as described in any of the above. Because the size of single load testing device is less, can simulate the size of commonly used server usually, when the large-scale rack of needs simulation, alright in order to use a plurality of this load testing devices parallelly connected together, can simulate the size of server more really on the one hand, on the other hand has saved the step of preparation large-scale testing device, and transport before and after the test is also more convenient.
