Description

Information and communication management system {Information and communication management system}

The present invention relates to a server management system, and more particularly, to an information communication management system in which hardware equipment such as servers, switches, and routers constituting an information communication system can be rigidly installed.

In general, communication device installation boxes capable of installing communication devices are formed of a main body embedded in a wall and a cover (internal box) mounted on the front side of the main body.

Since each communication device installation box, which has a cover (internal box) attached to the front of the main body, is formed differently in size, only communication devices that match (match) the size (different sizes for each manufacturer) must be installed. In other words, there was a problem that communication devices of different sizes (manufactured) could not be installed organically. Therefore, there is a problem of wasting resources because several communication device installation boxes must be manufactured according to the size of each communication device. there was.

In order to solve such a problem, Patent Registration No. 10-399416 "Attachment device for a wall-embedded communication device" is known. This communication device installation box is formed of a main body buried inside the wall and a cover (built-in box) which is mounted on the front side of the main body to install the communication device, and two square cutting lines are formed on the front of the cover. It is formed to form two rectangular windows by the square cutting line.

However, such a conventional wall-embedded communication device attachment device has a problem in that it cannot accommodate and install all communication devices of different sizes, since it is possible to install only two types of communication devices that can be formed by the square cut line of the cover. In order to be able to install various types of communication devices, if the square cut lines of different sizes are repeatedly formed, the gap between the square cut lines becomes too tight, and the support of the cover is significantly reduced, making it impossible to install the communication devices reliably. There was a problem in that, and when the size of the communication device is changed, there is a problem that a cover having a corresponding square cut line must be separately manufactured.

In addition, there is a problem that the communication device installation box cannot be easily installed on the formwork because the body embedded in the wall does not have a supporting means. In addition, in order to install it in parallel with the formwork, it is separately fixed to the bottom of the body. A fixing means such as a block must be provided to support it, but there is a problem that it cannot be easily supported and installed using a fixing means.

In addition, since there is no support means for supporting them between the main body and the cover, there is a problem that the support of the cover is weak, so that the cover cannot be reliably supported. In particular, a rectangular window formed by cutting a square cutting line is attached or Since it cannot be supported, when concrete is poured, concrete flows into the body or foreign substances are introduced into the body, making it impossible to install communication devices easily, as well as the hassle of removing the introduced foreign substances to install communication devices. there was.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings.

The information communication management system according to the present invention is a technology for remotely diagnosing the state of a management server constituting a computer network. To this end, the information communication management system according to the present invention may be provided with a mechanical device for remotely diagnosing the status of the management server by receiving status information on the management server constituting the computer network.

1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information communication management system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The information communication management system according to the present invention includes a hardware device 100 for configuring a communication network such as a server, switch, hub, router, and the like; The hardware device 100 is fixedly installed in a specific position and includes a hardware support device 200 supporting the hardware device 100.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the hardware device 100 is a server 60, and the hardware support device 200 is assumed to be a server rack. However, as described above, the hardware device 100 and the hardware support device 200 are not limited to servers and server racks, respectively, and various hardware modules for building a communication system and racks for storing and installing the same It may further include.

The server rack 200 of the present invention is a kind of storage device used for managing by installing a plurality of servers 60 composed of communication equipment or computing equipment, as in the prior art. The server rack 200 is installed inside a facility such as a communication room or a data sensor, and may be provided with a power supply means, a cooling/heating means, and a ventilation means.

Further, a communication means and other sensor devices for the administrator to check the status of the server rack 200 and the server 60 at a remote location may be further provided.

The server rack 200 has the main body 202 constituting the whole body, and it is generally made in a vertical rectangular parallelepiped shape in order to easily attach and detach a plurality of servers 60, and the server 60 It has a structure in which the front part is open to be able to. The frame or side plate for forming the structure of the main body 202, the fixing means for the adjacent server rack 200, and the like are of conventional configurations, and thus will not be described in detail in the present invention.

A plurality of sliding rails 204 are installed in parallel on the inner side of the body 202. The sliding rail 204 is installed in the front-rear direction of the main body 202 so that the server 60 having a relatively flat shape can be mounted inside the main body 202 parallel to the ground. The server 60 and the means for fixing the server 60 move in parallel in the front-rear direction while being fitted in the sliding rail 204. The administrator inserts the server 60 into the fixing means, pushes the server 60 into the body 202 along the sliding rail 204, and installs a separate fixing device to complete the installation.

Server brackets 206 are attached to both sides of the server 60. As shown in FIG. 3, the server bracket 206 is a coupling component having a cross section of a certain shape in the longitudinal direction of the main body 202, and supports and fixes the upper and lower portions of both sides of the server 60. The server bracket 206 is preferably fixed with bolts or screws to securely fix the server 60, but in addition, a fixing device having a built-in spring may be used.

In general, the server bracket 206 has a C-shaped cross section, and can be configured to press and fix the upper and lower ends of both ends of the server 60, and the size of the C-shaped cross section according to the height of the server 60 It is desirable to have a structure that can be changed.

Guides fitted to the sliding rails 204 are installed outside the left and right sides of the server bracket 206. The guide is smoothly rolled by bearings or rollers while being fitted inside the sliding rail 204, thereby guiding the server 60 to move forward and backward.

A rail bracket 208 is installed between the sliding rail 204 and the inner side of the main body 202. The rail bracket 208 is fixed to the sliding rail 204 so that the sliding rail 204 can move vertically with respect to the inner side of the main body 202.

Transfer members 210 are protruded to the outside of the left and right sides of the rail bracket 208. The transfer member 210 protrudes from the rail bracket 208 toward the inner side of the main body 202. As shown in FIG. 5, the transfer member 210 is a component having a certain volume, and has a structure in which a hole is drilled in the vertical direction and a thread is formed in the hole. The transfer member 210 is made integrally with the rail bracket 208 or in a structure coupled by a fastening means.

The rotation bolt 212 is coupled through a hole formed in the transfer member 210. The rotating bolt 212 is a cylindrical rod having the same diameter as the diameter of the hole formed in the transfer member 210, and a thread corresponding to the thread of the hole of the transfer member 210 is formed on the surface. The rotating bolt 212 is screwed into the hole. Therefore, when the rotation bolt 212 rotates along the longitudinal central axis, the transfer member 210 moves upward or downward according to the engagement of the threads.

A motor 214 is installed at the upper and lower ends or one side of the rotating bolt 212. The motor 214 rotates the rotating bolt 212 left or right according to the transmission of electric power. The transfer member 210 moves upward or downward according to the rotation direction of the rotation bolt 212.

Meanwhile, distance sensors 216 are installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the server bracket 206, respectively. The distance sensor 216 refers to a measuring means for measuring a distance to another object by detecting a reflected signal after transmitting a light beam such as infrared rays or a laser, or a sound wave such as an ultrasonic wave. The distance sensor 216 of the present invention can be applied to any distance measuring means previously disclosed.

A distance sensor 216 is installed on both the upper and lower surfaces of the server bracket 206, and the distance sensor 216 is installed on both the server bracket 206 for fixing the plurality of servers 60 arranged vertically. Therefore, each of the distance sensors 216 can measure the distance to adjacent servers (or server brackets) at the top and bottom.

In addition, a temperature sensor 218 is installed above or below the server bracket 206. The temperature sensor 218 measures the temperature of the space between the server 60 and the server 60. Since the temperature sensor 218 of the present invention also uses a device having the same principle as a previously disclosed device, a detailed description will be omitted.

Information about the distance to the adjacent server 60 measured by the distance sensor 216 and information about the temperature of the space between the servers 60 measured by the temperature sensor 218 are transmitted to the controller 220. The controller 220 collects information transmitted from each of the distance sensors 216 and the temperature sensors 218 and stores them in a separate memory, and determines the distance between the servers 60 and the temperature of each space.

The controller 220 measures the distance between each server 60 whenever the administrator installs or removes the server 60. And when the installation or removal of the server 60 is completed, the position of each server 60 is adjusted so that the server 60 is disposed in an appropriate manner in consideration of the number of servers 60 and the size of the space of the main body 202. .

As a method for the control unit 220 to adjust the distance between the servers 60, there may be an equal interval arrangement, a predetermined interval arrangement, and an arrangement according to temperature.

The first, equally spaced arrangement is a method in which the intervals between each server 60 are always kept the same. That is, in consideration of the height of the main body 202 and the height of the server 60, all the servers 60 are kept spaced by the same distance (for example, 5 cm). When the number of servers 60 mounted on one main body 202 increases, a large number of servers 60 must be accommodated in a limited space, so the distance between each server 60 is small in inverse proportion to the number of servers 60 Will lose. On the contrary, when the number of servers 60 decreases, a space inside the main body 202 becomes free, and thus the interval between the servers 60 can be enlarged.

To this end, the controller 220 stores all information on the height of the server 60 mounting space in the main body 202, the number of installed servers 60, and the height of each server 60.

The second arrangement of constant intervals is a method of adjusting the interval between all servers 60 to be a constant distance (for example, 10 cm) regardless of the number of servers 60 mounted on one main body 202. The spacing is adjusted so that the spacing between the servers 60 to be additionally mounted based on the upper or lower part of the main body 202 is equal to the value determined by the administrator. Therefore, even if the number of servers 60 mounted on one main body 202 is changed, the distance between each server 60 is always kept constant.

However, the value of the interval between the constant servers 60 may be changed by the administrator according to the situation, and the controller 220 changes the interval between the servers 60 by reflecting the information input by the administrator.

The third arrangement according to temperature reflects information on the temperature of the internal space together with the height and number of the server 60 and the height of the body 202. That is, when the temperature between the specific server 60 and the server 60 is excessively high, the space between the two servers 60 arranged above and below the high temperature space is widened to widen the space of this part. Conversely, when the temperature between the two specific servers 60 is low, the two servers 60 are moved close to each other and the temperature arrangement is adjusted to be uniform.

The control unit 220 adjusts the height of the individual servers 60 by first applying the standard of equal interval arrangement or regular interval arrangement set by the administrator in adjusting the interval between the servers 60. And when the temperature of the specific space exceeds the set range while continuously measuring the temperature inside the main body 202 during the operation of the server 60, the distance between the two servers 60 above and below is adjusted to increase the size of the space. It widens.

The control unit 220 drives the motor 214 to rotate the rotating bolt 212 and moves the transfer member 210 upward or downward. Due to this, the server 60 is also moved upward or downward.

The transfer member 210, the rotation bolt 212, and the motor 214 are installed independently for one server 60. Accordingly, each of the motors 214 is driven by the control of the controller 220 to rotate each of the rotating bolts 212, so that each server 60 can independently move up and down.

In the present invention, as a means for moving the server 60 or the server bracket 206 up and down, it is specified that the transfer member 210 and the rotating bolt 212 passing through it are used, in addition to the rail, chain, and gear driving method. Etc. can be applied in various ways.

In some other embodiments, the server system according to the present invention can prevent communication failure due to poor connection between the management server and the communication cable by firmly installing and supporting the management server when installing the management server in a specific place. It may further include a configuration.

7 is a view showing an impact preventing member protecting the management server.

The impact prevention member 500 is a member that is installed inside the main body 100 in the form of a rack that can support a plurality of management servers 100 by stacking them, so as to prevent damage to the management server.

Specifically, the impact preventing member 500 is formed in a direction perpendicular to the ground, is installed between a pair of vertical supports 510 and a pair of vertical supports 510 facing each other, and is installed between the vertical support 510 ) Is composed of a plurality of horizontal supports (520, 530) installed at predetermined intervals along the height direction.

For example, a pair of vertical supports 510 are installed on both sidewalls of the main body 200, and the horizontal supports 520 are installed at predetermined intervals along the height direction between the pair of vertical supports 510 to At the same time, it is possible to support the management server 100 while seated at a predetermined height.

In one embodiment, the management server 100 is seated between two horizontal supports disposed adjacent to each other, and thus, one horizontal support can support one management server 100 from the ground.

In some other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, two or more horizontal supports 520 and 530 support one management server from the ground, or a management server in which two or more horizontal supports 520 and 530 are stacked and stacked. Can be supported from the ground.

In this case, a seating module 550 may be installed between the two horizontal supports 520 that are continuously installed with each other.

The seating module 550 may be provided between the two horizontal supports 520, when the management server 100 seated on the upper horizontal support 520 falls for reasons such as damage to the upper horizontal support 520, It can absorb shock and protect equipment.

Referring to FIG. 8, the seating module 550 includes a first module 151 installed on the lower horizontal support 530 of the two horizontal supports 520 and 530; And a second module 152 installed on the upper horizontal support 520.

The first module 151 includes: a first base plate 1511 fixedly installed on an upper surface of the lower horizontal support 530; And at least one protruding member 1512 protruding from an upper portion of the first base plate 1511.

The protruding member 1512 includes an elastic member installed on an upper surface of the first base plate 1511 and a head member formed on the elastic member.

The second module 152 is formed on a second base plate 1521 fixedly installed on a lower side of the upper horizontal support 520 and an upper surface of the second base plate 1521, and the protruding member is inserted through it. A sensor module that is installed on the bottom surface of the through-hole 1522 and the through-hole 1522 to be in contact with the protrusion member inserted through the through-hole, and measures an external force transmitted from the contacted protrusion member (1523) is included.

Similar to the first base plate 1521, the second base plate 1521 is a cut conical shape having a tapered structure whose diameter decreases toward the bottom, and the upper surface is fixed to the lower side of the upper transverse support 520 .

The through hole 1522 is formed on the upper surface of the second base plate 1521 and is formed in a height direction, that is, along a direction from an upper surface to a lower surface.

In this case, the protruding member 1512 and the through hole 1522 may be formed at the same positions and symmetrical positions on the first and second base plates 1511 and 1521, respectively.

Accordingly, when the mounting module 550 composed of the first module 151 and the second module 152 is installed between the two horizontal supports 520 and 530 according to the present invention, the first and second base plates ( 1511 and 1521 may be formed so that the upper surfaces of the extension 130 face each other. In this case, the protruding member 1512 of the first module 151 may be located at a position where the through hole 1522 is formed.

At this time, the protruding member 1512 is designed to be longer than the length (depth) of the through hole 1522, and accordingly, the protruding member 152 is inserted into the through hole 1522 and inserted into the through hole 1522. The head member of the protruding member 1512 is in contact with the sensor module 1523.

In the mounting module 550 having the above-described configuration, the force by which the head member presses the sensor module 1523 is determined according to the separation distance between the first module 151 and the second module 152, and An elastic member is provided to prevent the sensor module 1523 from being damaged.

Therefore, the seating module 550 according to the present invention, when the spacing between the two horizontal support (520, 530) is narrow, for example, due to a factor due to the weight of the management server 100, the upper horizontal support 520 ) Is bent or damaged, and thus the spacing is narrowed, it may be detected based on the sensing value of the sensor module 1523.

Further, although not shown, the seating module 550 further includes a communication module and a control module installed inside the second module 152.

The control module generates a notification message and transmits the notification message to a preset manager terminal when the sensing value received from the sensor module continues to be less than or equal to a preset threshold time. Even if there is, you can be notified of the risk of damage to the management server.

In addition, in the illustrated embodiment, for convenience of explanation, one protruding member 1512 is shown, but in another embodiment, a plurality of protruding members 1512 and a plurality of through holes corresponding thereto are formed, and the control module is , By comparing and analyzing a plurality of sensing values received from a plurality of sensor modules installed in each of the plurality of through holes, a position to which pressure is intensively applied may be estimated and transmitted to the user terminal.
