Description

导风插件、机柜、电子设备及导风插件的制造方法
本申请要求于2020年09月30日提交的申请号为202011063409.X、发明名称为“风阻板结构”的中国专利申请,以及于2020年12月16日提交的申请号为202011492085.1、发明名称为“导风插件、机柜、电子设备及导风插件的制造方法”的中国专利申请的优先权,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本申请涉及通信设备领域,尤其涉及导风插件、机柜、电子设备及导风插件的制造方法。
背景技术
在数据中心内,具有大量的交换机,交换机主要包括主控卡、线卡、交换网板。主控卡相当于交换机的大脑,起到控制的作用,线卡主要提供各种不同速率的端口,而交换网板则提供线卡间高速互联的能力。
在相关技术中,通常利用机柜对交换机进行承载。机柜主要包括柜体、风扇组和多个业务载板,业务载板用于承载线卡,柜体内具有多个能够容置业务载板的槽位,槽位由上至下依次叠设且连通,风扇组位于各槽位的一侧,从而引导空气流经槽位,以对插接在槽位内的线卡进行散热。在实际应用中,通常会有槽位空缺(未插接业务载板),这些空槽位会为气流提供旁路,使得气流从这些空槽位中溢流,导致插接有业务载板的槽位内的风量变小,线卡不能得到足够的散热。为了解决这一问题,通常会在空槽位内插接风阻板,以阻挡气流进入,从而减少了气流旁路。
然而,由于部分气流被风阻板阻挡在外,所以导致仅有部分槽位能够进风,降低了总进风量,对机柜的散热效果造成了影响。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供了一种导风插件、机柜、电子设备及导风插件的制造方法,以克服相关技术中存在的电子器件的散热效果不佳的问题。
第一方面,提供了一种导风插件,该导风插件应用于机柜中,其包括壳体和导流结构。壳体上具有第一进风口和第一出风口,第一进风口和第一出风口所处的平面之间具有夹角,即第一进风口和第一出风口的过流方向不同。过流方向指的是气流经过该位置时的流向,也就是说,气流在经过第一进风口和第一出风口时的方向互不相同。导流结构位于壳体内,导流结构被配置为,将流入第一进风口的气流导流至第一出风口。由于第一进风口和第一出风口的过流方向不同,所以能够实现气流的变向和导向。如此一来,在将导风插件应用于机柜中之后,通过导风插件能够对机柜中的气流进行导向,使得导风插件不仅不会阻挡气流,还会将气流导流到机柜中其他所需的位置(设置有电子器件的位置),不仅保证了机柜的总进风量,还能够提高对于电子器件的散热效果。
本申请实施例提供的导风插件,至少具有以下效果:
在将导风插件应用于机柜中后,一部分气流流经设置有电子器件的位置,以直接对电子器件进行散热。另外一部分气流则流经导风插件,在由第一进风口进入后,在导风结构的作用下,被导向至第一出风口。从第一出风口输出气流被导流到机柜中设置有电子器件的位置,所以同样也能够对电子器件进行散热。由此可见,对于机柜来说,无论是流经导风插件的气流,还是未流经导风插件的气流,都能够对电子器件进行散热,所以既解决了气流溢流的问题,也保证了总进风量。除此之外,由于导风插件不再阻挡气流,所以也减少了气流撞击时产生的噪音。
作为一种示例性实施例,壳体包括上盖板、下盖板和端板。上盖板和下盖板之间相对间隔,为气流的流通提供空间基础。端板位于上盖板和下盖板之间,且端板的一侧边与上盖板的一侧边相连,端板的相对另一侧边与下盖板的一侧边相连,从而通过端板实现了上盖板和下盖板之间的连接。导流结构包括第一导风板,第一导风板同样位于上盖板和下盖板之间,且第一导风板的一侧边与上盖板相连,相对的另一侧边与下盖板相连,使得第一导风板能够稳固的连接在上盖板和下盖板之间。也就是说,上盖板、下盖板、端板和第一导风板连接在一起,成为一个整体。并且,上盖板、下盖板、端板和第一导风板围成第一空间,第一进风口位于第一空间内对应端板的位置,第一出风口位于第一空间内对应下盖板的位置。也就是说,第一空间能够将第一进风口和第二出风口连通。如此设计,当导风插件下方相邻的位置设置有电子器件时,气流从外界进入第一空间,并由第一空间导流至电子器件,从而能够对电子器件进行散热,使得气流能够得到充分的利用,保证了散热效果。
作为一种示例性实施例,第一导风板倾斜布置,且由自身的一侧边至相对的另一侧边沿背离第一出风口的方向倾斜。如此设计,使得第一导风板能够更好的对进入第一空间的气流进行引导,使其能够顺着倾斜的第一导风板,朝向第一出风口流动,从而顺畅流出第一空间。
作为一种示例性实施例,导流结构还包括第二导风板,第二导风板同样位于上盖板和下盖板之间,且位于第一导风板的背离端板的一侧,即与第一导风板间隔布置。第二导风板的一侧边与上盖板相连,相对的另一侧边与下盖板相连,使得第二导风板稳固的连接在上盖板和下盖板之间。并且,上盖板、下盖板和第二导风板背离第一导风板的一侧围成第二空间,即第二空间位于第二导风板的背离第一导风板的一侧。第二空间内具有第二进风口,第二进风口位于第二空间的对应下盖板的位置。如此设计,当导风插件下方相邻的位置设置有电子器件时,气流在对电子器件进行了散热,并流经到靠近第二进风口的位置后,一部分按照原方向继续流动,另一部分则向上流动,并通过上方的第二进风口回到对应的第二空间,最终从第二空间流出。也就是说,增加了气流在对电子器件进行散热后的流动路线,提高了出风均匀性。
作为一种示例性实施例,第二导风板倾斜布置,且由自身的一侧边至相对的另一侧边沿背离第二进风口的方向倾斜。如此设计,使得第二导风板能够更好的对进入第二空间的气流进行引导,使其能够顺着倾斜的第二导风板,背离第二导风板流动,从而顺畅的流出第二空间,以带走热量。
作为一种示例性实施例,上盖板、下盖板、第一导风板和第二导风板之间构成第三空间,第三空间位于第一空间和第二空间之间。第三空间具有第三进风口和第二出风口,且分别位于第三空间的对应上盖板的位置。如此设计,当导风插件下方相邻的位置中设置的也是导风插件时,上方导风插件的第一空间中的气流将依次通过对应的第一出风口、下方导风插件的 第三进风口进入对应第三空间中,进一步地气流将依次通过下方导风插件的第二出风口、上方导风插件的第二进风口进入对应的第二空间中,最终流出第二空间。也就是说,当两个导风插件相邻时,进入上方导风插件的气流,能够借助下方导风插件的第三空间进行流通,并最终回到上方导风插件中,并流出,进一步地提高了出风均匀性。
作为一种示例性实施例,机柜包括多种可替换的导风插件,各导风插件的结构大体相同,区别在于各导风插件的第一进风口、第二进风口、第三进风口、第一出风口、第二出风口具有多种尺寸。如此设计,用户能够根据实际需求,选择合适尺寸的导风插件,以控制气流的流量和流速,提高了机柜的适用性。
第二方面,提供了一种机柜,包括以下几个部分,分别是柜体、风扇组、导风插件和业务载板。柜体用于为风扇组、导风插件和业务载板提供安装基础,使得机柜成为一个能够承载例如线卡等各种电子器件的整体。柜体内配置有槽位空间,且槽位空间被进一步地分隔为多个依次叠设且连通的槽位。每个槽位被用于容置一个导风插件,或者一个业务载板,即未插接业务载板的槽位内,均插接有导风插件。导风插件和业务载板分别可拆卸地插接在槽位内,从而便于更换槽位内的导风插件和业务载板。其中,业务载板用于承载线卡,以为线卡提供安装基础。风扇组设置在柜体内,且与槽位空间并排布置,使得风扇组形成的气流能够流经槽位空间。一部分气流流经插接有业务载板的槽位,从而对安装在业务载板上的线卡进行散热。而另外一部分气流则流经插接有导风插件的槽位,由于导风插件能够将所处槽位中的气流导流至相邻的槽位内,所以这部分的气流,最终将被导入插接有业务载板的槽位内,进一步地对线卡进行散热。
本申请实施例提供的机柜,至少具有以下效果:
在通过本申请实施例提供的机柜容置例如线卡等电子器件时,风扇组工作,以形成流经槽位空间的气流。一部分气流流经插接有业务载板的槽位,直接对安装在业务载板上的线卡进行散热。另外一部分气流则流经插接有导风插件的槽位,由于导风插件能够将所处槽位中的气流导流至相邻的槽位内,所以这部分的气流,最终将被导入插接有业务载板的槽位内,同样也能够对安装在业务载板上的线卡进行散热。由此可见,无论是插接业务载板的槽位,还是插接导风插件的槽位,都能够进风,即槽位空间能够接收由风扇组所产生的所有气流,保证了总进风量。并且,被槽位空间接收的气流,能够被全部用来对业务载板上的线卡进行散热,所以也解决了气流溢流的问题,保证了散热效果。除此之外,由于导风插件不再阻挡气流,所以也减少了气流撞击时产生的噪音。
作为一种示例性实施例,风扇组包括多个风扇,各风扇沿槽位的叠设方向依次并排布置。如此设计,使得风扇组能够均匀的对各槽位产生气流,避免了气流不均的问题,以保证各槽位中能够具有充足的气流。
第三方面,还提供了一种电子设备,包括机柜和电子器件。机柜为第一方面的机柜,具有第一方面机柜的所有有益效果。电子设备包括线卡和交换网板,线卡安装在业务载板内,以与业务载板一同插接在槽位内,能够受到机柜的良好散热。交换网板则直接安装在机柜内,且位于槽位空间和风扇组之间,从而使得从槽位空间中流出的气流,还能够流经交换网板,在对交换网板进行散热后,再由风扇组导出,以与外界进行热交换。
本申请实施例提供的电子设备,至少具有以下效果:
通过机柜来承载电子器件,以为电子器件提供安装基础和散热条件。由于电子设备中的线卡安装在业务载板上,而业务载板又位于槽位内,所以槽位内流通的气流能够对线卡进行良好的散热,使得线卡处于合适的工作温度,保证了线卡的正常工作。由于电子设备中的交换网板安装在机柜内,且位于槽位空间和风扇组之间,所以从槽位空间中流出的气流能够进一步地对交换网板进行良好的散热,使得交换网板处于合适的工作温度,保证了交换网板的正常工作。也就是说,本申请实施例提供的电子设备,能够保证其中电子设备的良好散热,进而保证其正常稳定的工作。
第四方面,还提供了一种机柜的制造方法,包括以下几个步骤,首先,提供柜体,柜体内具有槽位空间,将槽位空间分隔为多个依次叠设且连通的槽位,从而为后续步骤中安装风扇组、导风插件和业务载板提供安装基础。然后,将风扇组连接至柜体内,使得风扇组与槽位空间并排布置,从而能够通过风扇组形成流经槽位空间的气流。接着,将导风插件可拆卸地插接在槽位内,从而能够通过导风插件将所处的槽位中的气流导流至相邻的槽位内。最后,将业务载板可拆卸地插接在槽位内,从而能够通过业务载板承载线卡。
本申请实施例提供的机柜的制造方法,至少具有以下效果:
在通过本申请实施例提供的制造方法制造出的机柜,容置例如线卡等电子器件时,风扇组工作,以形成流经槽位空间的气流。一部分气流流经插接有业务载板的槽位,直接对安装在业务载板上的线卡进行散热。另外一部分气流则流经插接有导风插件的槽位,由于导风插件能够将所处槽位中的气流导流至相邻的槽位内,所以这部分的气流,最终将被导入插接有业务载板的槽位内,同样也能够对安装在业务载板上的线卡进行散热。由此可见,无论是插接业务载板的槽位,还是插接导风插件的槽位,都能够进风,即槽位空间能够接收由风扇组所产生的所有气流,保证了总进风量。并且,被槽位空间接收的气流,能够被全部用来对业务载板上的线卡进行散热,所以也解决了气流溢流的问题,保证了散热效果。除此之外,由于导风插件不再阻挡气流,所以也减少了气流撞击时产生的噪音。

具体实施方式
本申请的实施方式部分使用的术语仅用于对本申请的实施例进行解释,而非旨在限定本申请。
数据中心交换机是数据中心的重要组成部分,其主要包括主控卡、线卡和交换网板。主控卡相当于交换机的大脑,起到控制的作用,线卡主要提供各种不同速率的端口,而交换网板则为各线卡之间提供高速互联的能力。
在相关技术中,通常利用机柜对交换机进行承载。机柜主要包括柜体、风扇组和多个业务载板,业务载板用于承载线卡,柜体内具有多个能够容置业务载板的槽位,槽位由上至下依次叠设且连通,风扇组位于各槽位的一侧,从而引导空气流经槽位,以对插接在槽位内的线卡进行散热。参见图1,在实际应用中,通常会有槽位空缺(未插接业务载板),这些空槽位会为气流提供旁路,使得气流从这些空槽位中溢流,导致插接有业务载板的槽位内的风量变小,线卡不能得到足够的散热。为了解决这一问题,通常会在空槽位内插接风阻板,以阻挡气流进入,从而减少了气流旁路(参见图2)。
然而,由于部分气流被风阻板阻挡在外,所以导致仅有部分槽位能够进风,降低了总进风量,对机柜的散热效果造成了影响。
为了解决这一技术问题,本申请实施例提供了一种导风插件,图3为该导风插件的结构示意图。导风插件包括壳体1和导流结构2。壳体1上具有第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b,第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b所处的平面之间具有夹角。导流结构2位于壳体1内,导流结构2被配置为,将流入第一进风口1a的气流导流至第一出风口1b。
由于第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b所处的平面之间具有夹角,所以第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b的过流方向不同,即气流在经过第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b时的方向互不相同,从而能够实现气流的变向和导向。并且,由于导流结构2能够将流入第一进风口1a的气流导流至第一出风口1b,所以通过导风插件能够实现气流的变向和导流。
该导风插件应用于机柜中,图4为本申请实施例提供的一种机柜的结构示意图,该机柜中配置有图3所示的导风插件。为了便于理解导风插件30中各部件在机柜中的方位,特别说明图4的整体方位与图3相同,即风扇组20位于图3中导风插件30的右侧,气流由图3的左侧向右侧流动。
参见图4,在本实施例中,该机柜包括柜体10、风扇组20、导风插件30和业务载板40。
柜体10内具有槽位空间101,槽位空间101由多个依次叠设且连通的槽位1011构成,各槽位1011用于容置导风插件30或者业务载板40。也就是说,柜体10作为机柜的主体,能够为导风插件30和业务载板40提供安装基础。并且,将柜体10中的槽位空间101分成多个相互连通的槽位1011,各槽位1011中插接一个导风插件30,或者是一个业务载板40,既能够为气流在各槽位1011之间的流通提供空间基础,又能够为导风插件30和业务载板40提供较为独立的区域,避免了在装配过程中,导风插件30和业务载板40之间造成相互干涉。
风扇组20位于柜体10内,且与槽位空间101并排布置,用于形成流经槽位空间101的气流。为了形成稳定的风道,气流的方向是由槽位空间101朝向风扇组20,即图4中由左至右流动,使得气流在流经槽位空间101时,能够将槽位空间101内的热量从右侧带走,以实现风冷散热。
导风插件30可拆卸地插接在槽位1011内,以将所处的槽位1011中的气流导流至相邻的槽位1011内。业务载板40可拆卸地插接在槽位1011内,以承载线卡210。导风插件30和业务载板40分别可拆卸地插接在槽位1011内,使得用户能够根据实际需求,来决定槽位1011中是插接导风插件30还是业务载板40。举例来说,若需承载的线卡210数量较多,则将对应数量的较多槽位1011中插接业务载板40,而剩余的空槽位1011中插接导风插件30,以将空槽位1011中的气流导流到其他槽位1011内。若需承载的线卡210数量较少,则将对应数量的较少槽位1011中插接业务载板40,而剩余的空槽位1011中插接导风插件30,以将空槽位1011中的气流导流到其他槽位1011内。
在通过本申请实施例提供的机柜容置例如线卡210等电子器件时,风扇组20工作,以形成流经槽位空间101的气流。一部分气流流经插接有业务载板40的槽位1011,直接对安装在业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热。另外一部分气流则流经插接有导风插件30的槽位1011,由于导风插件30能够将所处槽位1011中的气流导流至相邻的槽位1011内,所以这部分的气流,最终将被导入插接有业务载板40的槽位1011内,同样也能够对安装在业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热。由此可见,无论是插接业务载板40的槽位1011,还是插接导风插件30的槽位1011,都能够进风,即槽位空间101能够接收由风扇组20所产生的所有气流,保证了总进风量。并且,被槽位空间101接收的气流,能够被全部用来对业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热,所以也解决了气流溢流的问题,保证了散热效果。除此之外,由于导风插件30不再阻挡气流,所以也减少了气流撞击时产生的噪音。
在一种示例性实施例中,风扇组20包括多个风扇201,各风扇201沿槽位1011的叠设方向依次并排布置。如此设计,使得风扇组20能够均匀的对各槽位1011产生气流,避免了气流不均的问题,以保证各槽位1011中能够具有充足的气流。
需要说明的是,虽然图4中展示的是一个风扇201对应两个槽位1011,但是在实际情况下,风扇201和槽位1011之间的数量对应,能够根据需求进行调整。例如,一个风扇201对应一个槽位1011,或者一个风扇201对应三个槽位1011等。本申请对此不作限制。
由前文可知,导风插件30是将槽位1011中的气流充分利用,以提高散热效果的关键部件,下面对导风插件30做进一步地介绍。
再次参见图3,在本实施例中,壳体包括上盖板11、下盖板12和端板13。上盖板11和下盖板12之间相对间隔,端板13位于上盖板11和下盖板12之间,且端板13的一侧边与上 盖板11的远离风扇组20的一侧边相连,端板13的相对另一侧边与下盖板12的远离风扇组20的一侧边相连。导流结构包括第一导风板,第一导风板21位于上盖板11和下盖板12之间,且第一导风板21的一侧边与上盖板11相连,相对的另一侧边与下盖板12相连。
在一种示例性实施例中,上盖板11为矩形板件,由槽体空间的方向朝向风扇组20的方向延伸。下盖板12平行于上盖板11,下盖板12的形状和尺寸与上盖板11相同,且下盖板12在上盖板11上的正投影,与上盖板11完全重合。端板13为矩形板件,端板13分别垂直于上盖板11和下盖板12。端板13、上盖板11和下盖板12之间焊接在一起,能够保证端板13在上盖板11和下盖板12之间的连接牢固度。第一导风板21为矩形板,第一导风板21、上盖板11和下盖板12之间焊接在一起,能够保证第一导风板21在上盖板11和下盖板12之间的连接牢固度。
上盖板11、下盖板12、端板13和第一导风板21围成第一空间A,第一进风口1a位于第一空间A内对应端板13的位置,第一进风口1a与外界连通,第一出风口1b位于第一空间A内对应下盖板12的位置,第一出风口1b与下方相邻的槽位1011相对。
通过在上盖板11和下盖板12之间设置端板13,且端板13的两侧边分别与上盖板11和下盖板12相连,能够利用端板13将上盖板11和下盖板12连接为一个整体。而在上盖板11和下盖板12之间设置第一导风板21,能够利用第一导风板21在上盖板11、下盖板12和端板13之间围成第一空间A,以为导流气流提供空间基础。进一步地,在第一空间A内设置第一出风口1b和第一进风口1a,第一进风口1a位于第一空间A内对应端板13的位置,从而能够使得第一空间A与外界连通,第一出风口1b位于第一空间A内对应下盖板12的位置,从而能够使得第一空间A与下方相邻的槽位1011相对且连通,以此限定气流进入第一空间A的路径,以及输出第一空间A的路径。
图5为导风插件30的气体流向图,为了更清楚的展示相邻槽位1011之间的导风情况,图5中仅展示了两个槽位1011,省略了其余的槽位1011。下面结合图5,对导风插件30的导流原理进行介绍。
风扇组20工作,以在槽位空间101的两侧形成流动的气流。业务载板40位于导风插件30的下方。
针对插接有业务载板40的槽位1011来说,常温的气流直接从槽位1011的左侧流入并流经业务载板40,在流经业务载板40的过程中,与业务载板40上的线卡210进行热交换,转变为较高温的气流并从槽位1011的右侧流出,从而完成整个散热过程。
而针对插接有导风插件30的槽位1011来说,常温的气流从第一进风口1a流入第一空间A,并从第一出风口1b流出第一空间A以流入位于下方的槽位1011中,与下方槽位1011中的气流交汇,从而进一步地增大了下方槽位1011中的气流流量,进而提高了对于其中线卡210的散热效果。
并且,为了保证从第一出风口1b流入的气流能够顺畅的与该槽位1011左侧流入的气流交汇,第一出风口1b靠近端板13布置。
进一步地,第一导风板21由一侧边至相对的另一侧边沿背离第一出风口1b的方向倾斜。如此设计,使得第一导风板21能够更好的对进入第一空间A的气流进行引导,使其能够顺着倾斜的第一导风板21,朝向第一出风口1b流动,从而顺畅的进入下方槽位1011。
除此之外,倾斜布置的第一导风板21,还能够减小自身受到气流的冲击,从而能够达到 降噪的目的。
图6为本申请实施例提供的另一种导风插件30的结构示意图,由于该图仅为导风插件30的结构示意图,所以其中未展示机柜的其余部件。为了便于理解导风插件30中各部件在机柜中的方位,特别说明图6的整体方位与图4相同,即风扇组20位于图6中导风插件30的右侧,气流由图6的左侧向右侧流动。
图6中所示的导风插件30与图3中所示的导风插件30,在结构上大体相同,且具有图3中所示的导风插件30的所有有益效果。区别在于,导流结构还包括第二导风板22,第二导风板22位于第一导风板21的背离端板13的一侧,且位于上盖板11和下盖板12之间,第二导风板22的一侧边与上盖板11相连,相对的另一侧边与下盖板12相连。
在一种示例性实施例中,第二导风板22为矩形板,第二导风板22、上盖板11和下盖板12之间焊接在一起,能够保证第二导风板22在上盖板11和下盖板12之间的连接牢固度。
上盖板11、下盖板12和第二导风板22背离第一导风板21的一侧围成第二空间B。第二空间B朝向风扇组20的一侧为开口,该开口为上盖板11和下盖板12之间的间隙。第二空间B内对应下盖板12的位置具有第二进风口1c,第二进风口1c与下方相邻的槽位1011相对。
通过在上盖板11和下盖板12之间设置第二导风板22,能够利用第二导风板22在上盖板11和下盖板12之间围成第二空间B,以为导流气流提供空间基础。进一步地,在第二空间B内设置第二进风口1c,第二进风口1c位于第二空间B内对应下盖板12的位置,从而能够使得第二空间B与下方相邻的槽位1011连通,以此限定气流进入第二空间B的路径。
图7为导风插件30的气体流向图,为了更清楚的展示相邻槽位1011之间的导风情况,图7中仅展示了两个槽位1011,省略了其余的槽位1011。下面结合图7,对导风插件30的导流原理进行介绍。
风扇组20工作,以在槽位空间101的两侧形成流动的气流。业务载板40位于导风插件30的下方。
针对插接有业务载板40的槽位1011来说,常温的气流直接从槽位1011的左侧流入并流经业务载板40,在流经业务载板40的过程中,与业务载板40上的线卡210进行热交换,转变为较高温的气流,这些气流一部分槽位1011的右侧流出,另一部分则向上流动,并通过上方槽位1011内的第二进风口1c流到对应的第二空间B,最终从第二空间B朝向风扇组20一侧的开口流出。也就是说,气流不仅能够从插接有业务载板40的槽位1011流出,还能够从插接有导风插件30的槽位1011流出,提高了槽位空间101的出风均匀性。除此之外,还能够有效的避免因导风插件30的右侧,即靠近风扇组20的一侧出现无风区,而影响机柜内的其余电子器件的散热。
而对于针对插接有导风插件30的槽位1011来说,常温的气流从第一进风口1a流入第一空间A,并从第一出风口1b流出第一空间A以流入位于下方的槽位1011中,与下方槽位1011中的气流交汇,从而进一步地增大了下方槽位1011中的气流流量,进而提高了对于其中线卡210的散热效果。
并且,为了避免从业务载板40经第二进风口1c流出的气流,不会影响到业务载板40的散热效果,第二进风口1c靠近风扇组20布置。这样,就能够保证气流在对业务载板40上的线卡210进行充分散热后,才会由第二进风口1c流入上方的导风插件30中。
进一步地,第二导风板22由一侧边至相对的另一侧边沿背离第二进风口1c的方向倾斜。 如此设计,使得第二导风板22能够更好的对进入第二空间B的气流进行引导,使其能够顺着倾斜的第二导风板22,由第二空间B朝向风扇组20一侧的开口流出。
除此之外,倾斜布置的第二导风板22,还能够减小自身受到气流的冲击,从而能够达到降噪的目的。
在实际情况下,通常会有多个连续叠设的空槽位1011,各空槽位1011中插接有导风插件30。为了保证各空槽位1011中的导风插件30既能够如前文所述的将气流导流到下方的业务载板40,也能够将下方的业务载板40中的气流导流回来,还能够连续的将气流导流到下方的导风插件30,本申请实施例提供了又一种导风插件30。
图8为本申请实施例提供的又一种导风插件30的结构示意图,由于该图仅为导风插件30的结构示意图,所以其中未展示机柜的其余部件。为了便于理解导风插件30中各部件在机柜中的方位,特别说明图8的整体方位与图4相同,即风扇组20位于图8中导风插件30的右侧,气流由图8的左侧向右侧流动。
图8中所示的导风插件30与图6中所示的导风插件30,在结构上大体相同,且具有图6中所示的导风插件30的所有有益效果。区别在于,上盖板11、下盖板12、第一导风板21和第二导风板22之间构成第三空间C,第三空间C内对应上盖板11的位置分别具有第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e,第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e相互间隔,第三进风口1d与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一出风口1b相对,第二出风口1e与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第二进风口1c相对。
利用第二导风板22和第一导风板21,在上盖板11和下盖板12之间围成第三空间C,以为导流气流提供空间基础。进一步地,在第三空间C内设置第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e,第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e位于第三空间C内对应上盖板11的位置,第三进风口1d与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一出风口1b相对,第二出风口1e与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第二进风口1c相对,使得第三空间C能够分别与位于上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一空间A和第二空间B连通,以此限定气流进入第三空间C的路径,以及输出第三空间C的路径。
在一种示例性实施例中,第三进风口1d与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一出风口1b部分相对,第二出风口1e与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第二进风口1c相对。即相对于第一出风口1b的正下方位置,第三进风口1d偏向于第二进风口1c,相对于第二进风口1c的正下方位置,第二出风口1e偏向于第一出风口1b。
图9为导风插件30的气体流向图,为了更清楚的展示相邻槽位1011之间的导风情况,图9中仅展示了三个槽位1011,省略了其余的槽位1011。下面结合图9,对导风插件30的导流原理进行介绍。
风扇组20工作,以在槽位空间101的两侧形成流动的气流。第一个导风插件30、第二个导风插件30、业务载板40由上至下依次叠设,即有两个导风插件30连续叠设在一起。
针对插接有第一个导风插件30的槽位1011来说,常温的气流从第一进风口1a流入第一空间A,并从第一出风口1b流出第一空间A,进而从第二个导风插件30的第三进风口1d进入对应的第三空间C中,第三空间C中的气流从第二出风口1e流出第三空间C,进而从第一个导风插件30的第二进风口1c进入对应的第二空间B中,最终从第二空间B朝向风扇组20一侧的开口流出。也就是说,当相邻的两个槽位1011中均插接导风插件30时,进入上方槽位1011内的导风插件30的气流,能够借助下方槽位1011内的导风插件30的第三空间C 进行流通,并最终回到上方槽位1011内的导风插件30中,并流出槽位空间101,进一步地提高了槽位空间101的出风均匀性。除此之外,还能够有效的避免因导风插件30的右侧,即靠近风扇组20的一侧出现无风区,而影响机柜内的其余电子器件的散热。
针对插接有第二个导风插件30的槽位1011来说,常温的气流从第一进风口1a流入第一空间A,并从第一出风口1b流出第一空间A以流入位于下方的槽位1011中,与下方槽位1011中的气流交汇,从而进一步地增大了下方槽位1011中的气流流量,进而提高了对于其中线卡210的散热效果。
针对插接有业务载板40的槽位1011来说,常温的气流直接从槽位1011的左侧流入并流经业务载板40,在流经业务载板40的过程中,与业务载板40上的线卡210进行热交换,转变为较高温的气流,这些气流一部分槽位1011的右侧流出,另一部分则向上流动,并通过第二个导风插件30的第二进风口1c流到对应的第二空间B,最终从第二空间B朝向风扇组20一侧的开口流出。也就是说,气流不仅能够从插接有业务载板40的槽位1011流出,还能够从插接有导风插件30的槽位1011流出,提高了槽位空间101的出风均匀性。除此之外,还能够有效的避免因导风插件30的右侧,即靠近风扇组20的一侧出现无风区,而影响机柜内的其余电子器件的散热。
在一种示例性实施例中,第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e,能够连通在一起,以形成较大的风口。该风口同时与上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一出风口1b和第二进风口1c相对。在此情况下,由于第三进风口1d和第二出风口1e之间没有间隔,所以利用上方相邻的槽位1011中的导风插件30作为隔离手段,即利用上方相邻的槽位1011中的第一出风口1b和第二进风口1c之间的间隔。这种情况能够降低用料成本,有利于成本控制。
在一种示例性实施例中,第一进风口1a、第二进风口1c、第三进风口1d、第一出风口1b和第二出风口1e中具有防护网14。如此设计,能够防止异物直接进入导风插件30,不仅避免了异物堵塞导风插件30,还能够防止异物随着气流进入业务载板40,对业务载板40内的线卡210造成影响。
容易理解的是,为了降低成本,在一种示例性实施例中,仅在第一进风口1a中设置防护网14。
示例性地,防护网14内的孔径和目数等指标根据实际需求进行调整。若需要散热性能优先,那么防护网14的孔径适当设计的较大,而目数则适当设计的较小。若需要防尘性能优先,那么防护网14的孔径适当设计的较小,而目数则适当设计的较大。本申请对此不作限制。
在一种示例性实施例中,机柜包括多个可替换的导风插件30,各导风插件30的第一进风口1a、第二进风口1c、第三进风口1d、第一出风口1b、第二出风口1e具有多种尺寸。
也就是说,能够准备多个结构相同,而风口(第一进风口1a、第二进风口1c、第三进风口1d、第一出风口1b、第二出风口1e)尺寸不同的导风插件30。如此设计,用户能够根据实际需求,选择合适尺寸的导风插件30,以控制气流的流量和流速,提高了机柜的适用性。
举例来说,若需要提高导风插件30的进风量,那么相应的选择第一进风口1a尺寸较大的导风插件30。若需要提高导风插件30的出风量,那么相应的选择第二进风口1c尺寸较大的导风插件30。
下面简单介绍一下,本申请实施例提供的机柜的装配流程。
首先,将各风扇201按照由下至上的顺序依次安装在柜体10内,使得各风扇201位于槽 位空间101的一侧,即位于图4的右侧。
然后,选择业务载板40。业务载板40的数量按照线卡210的数量选择,业务载板40的风口(第一进风口1a、第二进风口1c、第三进风口1d、第一出风口1b、第二出风口1e)尺寸,按照散热要求选择。
接着,将业务载板40插接至空槽位1011中。为了保证各业务载板40的散热效果,各业务载板40在槽位空间101内均匀间隔布置,以避免各业务载板40过于集中。
最后,将导风插件30插接至剩余空槽位1011中。
图10为本申请实施例提供的一种电子设备,该电子设备包括机柜100和电子器件200。
机柜100为前文提供的机柜100,电子器件200包括线卡210和交换网板220,线卡210位于槽位1011内,且与业务载板40相连,交换网板220位于机柜100内,且夹设在槽位空间101和风扇组20之间。
通过将线卡210安装在业务载板40内,以与业务载板40一同插接在槽位1011内,能够受到机柜100的良好散热。通过将交换网板220直接安装在机柜100内,且位于槽位空间101和风扇组20之间,从而使得从槽位空间101中流出的气流,还能够流经交换网板220,在对交换网板220进行散热后,再由风扇组20导出,以与外界进行热交换。
也就是说,本申请实施例提供的电子设备,通过机柜100来承载电子器件200,以为电子器件200提供安装基础和散热条件。由于电子设备中的线卡210安装在业务载板40上,而业务载板40又位于槽位1011内,所以槽位1011内流通的气流能够对线卡210进行良好的散热,使得线卡210处于合适的工作温度,保证了线卡210的正常工作。由于电子设备中的交换网板220安装在机柜100内,且位于槽位空间101和风扇组20之间,所以从槽位空间101中流出的气流能够进一步地对交换网板220进行良好的散热,使得交换网板220处于合适的工作温度,保证了交换网板220的正常工作。由此可见,本申请实施例提供的电子设备,能够保证其中电子设备的良好散热,进而保证其正常稳定的工作。
除此之外,当机柜100中配置前文图3、图6、图8中所示的导风插件30时,机柜100相应的具有对应的有益效果,电子设备同样也相应的具有对应的有益效果,在此不做赘述。
在一种示例性实施例中,电子设备为正交架构的数据中心交换机,其中各线卡210水平布置,而各交换网板220垂直水平面竖直,即线卡210和交换网板220之间相互垂直,线卡210和交换网板220之间通过正交连接器相连,实现数据的高速传输。如此设计,使得线卡210和交换网板220之间的传输距离更短,且故障点更少,既提高了电子设备的性能,又提高了电子设备的可靠性。
下面简单介绍一下,本申请实施例提供的电子设备的装配流程。
首先,将各风扇201按照由下至上的顺序依次安装在柜体10内,使得各风扇201位于槽位空间101的一侧,即位于图10中的右侧。
然后,将交换网板220依次安装在柜体10内,使得各风扇201位于各风扇201的一侧,即位于图10中的左侧。
再然后,选择业务载板40。业务载板40的数量按照线卡210的数量选择,业务载板40的风口(第一进风口1a、第二进风口1c、第三进风口1d、第一出风口1b、第二出风口1e)尺寸,按照散热要求选择。
接着,将线卡210安装至对应的业务载板40中,并将业务载板40插接至空槽位1011中。 为了保证各业务载板40的散热效果,各业务载板40在槽位空间101内均匀间隔布置,以避免各业务载板40过于集中。
最后,将导风插件30插接至剩余空槽位1011中。
图11为本申请实施例提供的一种导风插件的制造方法的流程图,该制造方法用于制造图3-9所示的任一个导风插件,结合图11,该制造方法包括:
步骤1101:提供壳体1,在壳体1上加工出第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b,使得第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b所处的平面之间具有夹角。
步骤1102:将导流结构2连接至壳体1内,导流结构2用于将流入第一进风口1a的气流导流至第一出风口1b。
对于通过本申请实施例提供的制造方法所制造出的导风插件来说,由于第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b所处的平面之间具有夹角,所以第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b的过流方向不同,即气流在经过第一进风口1a和第一出风口1b时的方向互不相同,从而能够实现气流的变向和导向。并且,由于导流结构2能够将流入第一进风口1a的气流导流至第一出风口1b,所以通过导风插件能够实现气流的变向和导流。
在将本申请实施例提供的制造方法所制造出的导风插件,应用于机柜中时,风扇组20工作,以形成流经槽位空间101的气流。一部分气流流经插接有业务载板40的槽位1011,直接对安装在业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热。另外一部分气流则流经插接有导风插件30的槽位1011,由于导风插件30能够将所处槽位1011中的气流导流至相邻的槽位1011内,所以这部分的气流,最终将被导入插接有业务载板40的槽位1011内,同样也能够对安装在业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热。由此可见,无论是插接业务载板40的槽位1011,还是插接导风插件30的槽位1011,都能够进风,即槽位空间101能够接收由风扇组20所产生的所有气流,保证了总进风量。并且,被槽位空间101接收的气流,能够被全部用来对业务载板40上的线卡210进行散热,所以也解决了气流溢流的问题,保证了散热效果。除此之外,由于导风插件30不再阻挡气流,所以也减少了气流撞击时产生的噪音。
以上的具体实施方式,对本申请的目的、技术方案和有益效果进行了进一步详细说明,所应理解的是,以上仅为本申请的具体实施方式而已,并不用于限定本申请的保护范围,凡在本申请的技术方案的基础之上,所做的任何修改、等同替换、改进等,均应包括在本申请的保护范围之内。
