本發明之第三實施例與前述第二實施例大致相同,惟第三實施例將前述第二實施例的GPIO擴充板50替換為USB擴充板60,如圖7以及圖8所示,所述USB擴充板60上配置有第二微控制器(即微控制器61)、多工器(multiplexer)62、多數個連接埠63、USB連接埠64、功率電路65以及多數個螺固孔66。多數個連接埠63耦接多工器62,且各連接埠63用以電性地耦接其中一振動感測模組20,使微控制器61電性地耦接多數個微控制器21。進一步而言,所述微控制器61可以是具有8bits Flash Memory的Flash MCU。在本發明之第三實施例中,各連接埠63具有四個接點631,分別對應的腳位有:+3.3V、+5V、GND以及F/O。所述功率電路65可以通過USB連接埠64接收+5V且供應+3.3V給微控制器61或多工器62。多工器62耦接多數個振動感測模組20,每一振動感測模組20對應不同的散熱風扇10,此時微控制器61可辨識輸出警示訊息的任一振動感測模組20,進一步辨識出發生異常的散熱風扇10是哪一個,繼而微控制器61將警示訊息通過USB連接埠64傳輸至中央處理器31,可由中央處理器31調整散熱風扇10的轉速(例如,在溫度條件允許的情況下降低轉速或停止),且中央處理器31亦可將警示訊息輸出至伺服器外,如顯示於
螢幕或蜂鳴器發出聲音。進一步而言,USB連接埠64可包括四個腳位:+5V、D-、D+以及接地端(GND)。在本發明之第三實施例中,USB擴充板60是通過多數個螺固孔66而被鎖固於主機板32以及多數個散熱風扇10之間的位置,如圖9所示。
The third embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the foregoing second embodiment, except that the third embodiment replaces the
請參閱圖10至圖12所示,為本發明具振動感測功能的伺服器之第四實施例的結構配置圖。本發明之第四實施例與前述第一實施例大致相同,惟散熱風扇10的數量為多數個,振動感測模組20配置於承載其中一散熱風扇10的風扇架41。即單一個振動感測模組20同時偵測多數個散熱風扇10的振動。圖11及圖12之間的差異僅在於散熱風扇10以及風扇架41的結構不同。
Please refer to FIG. 10 to FIG. 12, which are the structural configuration diagrams of the fourth embodiment of the server with vibration sensing function of the present invention. The fourth embodiment of the present invention is substantially the same as the aforementioned first embodiment, except that the number of
在使用本發明所述之具振動感測功能的伺服器時,振動感測模組20可選擇直接地(振動感測模組20配置於散熱風扇10的軸座外部)或間接地(振動感測模組20配置於承載散熱風扇10的風扇架41)耦接散熱風扇10,在搭配微控制器21以及加速度計22一併使用的狀況下,可以具有自動監測的效果,特別是使用了指撥開關23設置的閥值,使用者可以通過改變指撥開關23的狀態(例如,各個位元的數值為0或1),進一步地改變微控制器21中關於閥值的設定,讓微控制器21可以依據接收到的監測值與閥值比較之後決定是否發出警示訊號。為此,可以在散熱風扇10即將損壞前積極地發出預警,不僅可避免異常振動的噪音問題、保障儲存模組的耐用度、且避免電子設備因高溫而損毀,達到提升伺服器使用安全性之目的。
When using the server with vibration sensing function of the present invention, the
