In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical solutions of the present application will be clearly and completely described below through embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are some embodiments of the present application, but not all embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.
Referring to fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3, the present embodiment discloses a U-bit space management system, including:
the distance between the first distance sensor and the back of the cabinet is different from that between the first distance sensor and the back of the cabinet when the first distance sensor and the second distance sensor are installed; the first distance sensor is used for being installed at the inner top or the inner bottom of the cabinet, and the second distance sensor is used for being installed at the inner top or the inner bottom of the cabinet;
the controller is connected with the first distance sensor and the second distance sensor respectively, and is provided with a communication module which is used for communicating with an upper computer or a server.
It is to be understood that at least one of the following functions may be achieved by two distance sensors.
Firstly, the thickness of the U-position corresponding equipment and the position of the U position can be measured by arranging the two distance sensors up and down. The measurement principle can refer to fig. 3.
Second, assuming that two distance sensors can be simultaneously disposed at the inner top or the inner bottom of the cabinet without measuring the thickness of the apparatus, the U-position to be operated can be determined according to the distance measured by the distance sensors.
And thirdly, under the two former conditions, the two distance sensors are arranged front and back, so that certain sensor is inevitably shielded firstly in the process of equipment installation and disassembly, the other sensor is shielded in a backup way, and the U position can be determined to be installed equipment or disassembled equipment in time of the distance change. For example, in the case of equipment removal, sensors closer to the back of the cabinet may have a shorter detection distance because they are first obscured by the equipment. Under the condition of installing equipment, a sensor close to one side of the cabinet door, namely far away from the back of the cabinet, can be shielded by the equipment firstly. Whether the U position is in the installation equipment or the disassembly equipment can be determined through the sequence of the change of the sensors.
Based on the hardware, a set of solution which can replace the prior art is provided, the device has a simple structure, and the U bits can be adapted (as long as the sensor can meet the requirements). And measure based on above-mentioned hardware platform, when the user carries out installation and dismantlement, all need not the manual work and operate.
It should be understood that in some embodiments, the controller may be considered a purely data-transmitting component, i.e., it merely uploads data to an upper computer or server. In some embodiments, the test principles may also be written as an algorithm executed in the controller.
In some embodiments, a third and fourth distance sensor are also included, the third and fourth distance sensors being mounted at different distances from the back of the cabinet. The third distance sensor is used for being installed at the inner top or the inner bottom of the cabinet, and the fourth distance sensor is used for being installed at the inner top or the inner bottom of the cabinet. The first distance sensor and the fourth distance sensor are installed at the same distance from the back of the cabinet, and the second distance sensor and the third distance sensor are installed at the same distance from the back of the cabinet.
Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, two sets of sensors are provided, two above and two below, and two in front and back. As can be seen from the figure, the first and third distance sensors 1, 3 provided on the inner ceiling; a second distance sensor 2 and a fourth distance sensor 4 arranged at the inner bottom. Wherein the second and third distance sensors 2, 3 are close to the back of the cabinet.
In some embodiments, the first distance sensor, the second distance sensor, the third distance sensor and the fourth distance sensor are provided with magnets, and the magnets are used for fixing the sensors on the machine cabinet. In this embodiment, the installation of the sensor is facilitated by the provision of the magnet. Because the rack is the iron structure mostly, consequently adopt the mode of magnetism to inhale can no trace dismouting.
In some embodiments, the controller further comprises an address switch for configuring a communication address of the controller. The controller mainly collects information in the equipment through the distance sensor, so that the information is transmitted to an upper computer or a server through the controller to restore the condition of the machine room. Thus, in this embodiment, the controller is configured with associated address switches for configuring the levels of the bits that generate the address signals.
In some embodiments, the controller is provided with a light strip interface, and a light strip connected with the light strip interface is used for indicating the state of each U position of the cabinet. In the actual operation of the machine room, the user wants to visually see the equipment in the cabinet through the glass door of the cabinet in the poor optical fiber condition. Therefore, it is necessary to configure the light bar corresponding to the U bit, and the controller can represent the state of the U bit through the light bar.
In some embodiments, the controller is provided with a plurality of temperature and humidity sensor interfaces. In this embodiment, the controller is provided with a relevant sensor interface, and therefore, the server can determine the condition inside the cabinet through the temperature and humidity sensor connected with the controller. It is to be understood that the controller may be connected to and communicate with the various sensors, light bars, etc. via a serial port such as a 485 serial port, 232 serial port, or USB port.
Referring to fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment is comprehensively explained based on a scheme of 4 distance sensors.
The running process of the U-bit space management system is as follows:
And 2, when the distance measured by the distance measuring probe is smaller than H0, judging whether a server is on or off the shelf.
And 3, when the servers are placed on the shelf and off the shelf, the height of the server at the moment is measured by the probe to be H1, H2, H3 and H4.
And 5, when the measurement H1 is not equal to H3 and the measurement H2 is not equal to H4, comparing the measurement values of (H1 and H3), (H2 and H4) in each time and keeping the larger measurement distance value in consideration of the shielding of the object, and then continuing to perform multiple measurements.
And 6, if the measurement is continued, H1-H3 and H2-H4 are obtained, and the processing is carried out according to the step 4.
And 7, if the conditions that H1 is H3 and H2 is H4 are not detected, when H1 is H2, H3 is H4, H0 is detected, and the measurement is finished. And judging whether each reserved measurement larger value meets the condition that H0- [ Max (H1, H3) + Max (H2, H4) ] is an integral multiple of 44.45 (certain error is allowed).
Step 8, if yes, judging that the server is effective for loading and unloading, wherein the height of the server is Max (H2, H4), and the U digit is Max (H2, H4)/44.45; the U-bit type of the server is { H0- [ Max (H1, H3) + Max (H2, H4) ] }/44.45.
And 9, if the result is not satisfied, judging that the server is invalid for getting on and off the shelf at the time, and sending an alarm to prompt that the server is invalid for getting on and off the shelf by the main controller.
Step 10, in the measuring process, comparing H1 and H3(H2 and H4) respectively, wherein the measuring height is changed from being smaller than H0 to being H0, and when H1 is earlier than H3, the server is put on shelf; otherwise, the server is off-shelf.
And 11, when the server is successfully or inefficiently put on or off the shelf, the controller respectively sends out light and/or sound prompts in different states.
An exemplary operation is performed with reference to fig. 3, taking the non-occlusion example:
when the power is initially powered on, the 4 distance measuring probes are obtained by averaging measurement for many times, and the initial height of the cabinet is H0-2000 mm;
when a server is on shelf, measuring H1 as 1022 mm; h2 ═ 889 mm; h3 ═ 1023 mm; h4 ═ 887 mm;
assuming that the allowable error range is 10mm, if | H1-H3| ═ 1mm <10mm, | H2-H4| ═ 2mm <10mm, the measurement data is judged to be within the allowable error range, then H1 ═ 1022+1023)/2 ═ 1022.5mm, and H2 ═ 889+887)/2 ═ 888 mm.
And (3) calculating 888/44.45 ═ 19.98>19.5, and calculating |888-44.45 ═ 20| ═ 1mm <10mm, so that the height of the U bit occupied by the U bit of the server is 20+1 ═ 21.
The type of server is (2000-1022.5-888)/44.45 ═ 2.01<2.5, then calculate |2000-1022.5-888-44.45 ═ 2| ═ 0.6mm <10mm, then the type of server is 2.
If the measured data change sequence is H1 before H3(H4 before H2), then a 2U server is set up in 20U, 21U.
