Abstract
A temperature control device includes a temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature within a server. When the temperature in the server is below a preset temperature, the control unit controls an interior heating assembly to heat the server, and closes a ventilation assembly to retain heat within the server. When the temperature in the server has reached the preset temperature, the control unit controls the heating assembly to stop the internal heating, and controls the ventilation assembly to open, to allow dissipation of the heat from the server.
Claims20
A temperature control device comprising:
- a temperature sensor that detects a temperature of a server;
- a heating assembly;
- a ventilation assembly;
- and
- a control unit electrically connected to the temperature sensor, the heating assembly and the heating assembly, wherein
- the control unit determining whether a temperature in the server is less than a preset temperature,
- when the temperature in the server is lower than the preset temperature, the control unit outputs a first control signal to the heating assembly and the ventilation assembly, the heating assembly heats the server according to the first control signal, and the ventilation assembly is switched to a closed state according to the first control signal, the closed state is configured to retain a heat generated by the heating assembly in the server, and
- when the temperature in the server is not less than the preset temperature, the control unit outputs a second control signal to the heating assembly and the ventilation assembly, the heating assembly stops heating the server according to the second control signal, and the ventilation assembly is switched to an open state according to the second control signal, the open state is configure to dissipate the heat from the server.
