Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated cabinets, and in particular to a wind energy cooling type integrated cabinet. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the development and progress of society, the advancement of the 5G market, the continuous growth of the network broadband market and business volume, the power consumption of equipment is too large, and the installation space of communication equipment in the integrated cabinet is tight. The cooling method suitable for 4G communication equipment is not suitable for 5G communication equipment. Since the heating components of the communication equipment will increase the temperature of the equipment space inside the integrated cabinet, especially the heat dissipation of 5G communication equipment is much higher than that of 4G equipment, in order to ensure that the equipment has a good and stable working environment, it is necessary to design a new integrated cabinet for 5G communication equipment.

[0003] The network deployment equipment of traditional cabinets is not centrally set up, with limited coverage and a relatively limited architectural layout, which leads to an uncoordinated air duct system and no staggered compartments with other equipment in the hot and cold directions. The equipment can only be cooled by high-power refrigeration equipment.

[0004] With the advent of the 5G era, the heat dissipation of 5G communication equipment when placed in a centralized manner is much higher than that of 4G equipment. The existing integrated cabinets have poor heat dissipation and cannot meet the heat dissipation needs of 5G communication equipment. The existing high-power refrigeration equipment has high limitations in cooling methods, high energy consumption, high cost, and the refrigeration equipment occupies a large space, making it difficult to apply it to the cooling of 5G communication equipment. Summary of the invention

[0005] An embodiment of the present invention provides a wind-powered cooling integrated cabinet, which can be used for cooling 5G high-capacity power equipment, so as to solve the problems of high cost, high power consumption, staggered hot and cold directions, and difficulty in meeting the heat dissipation requirements of 5G communication equipment in existing integrated cabinets and existing cooling technologies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a wind-powered cooling integrated cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, wherein at least two oppositely arranged column mechanisms are provided inside the cabinet body, and the column mechanisms have two vent groups arranged in different directions, and an equipment installation space is provided between the column mechanisms, and the equipment installation space is connected to the vent group to form an air circulation channel for cooling.

[0007] Furthermore, the column mechanism includes two air duct columns that are relatively arranged and fixedly connected, the air duct column includes a first air duct surface and a second air duct surface that are connected to each other, and the two vent groups are respectively arranged on the first air duct surface and the second air duct surface.

[0008] Furthermore, the vent group includes at least two vents evenly distributed on the first air duct surface or the second air duct surface along the vertical direction.

[0009] Furthermore, an angle formed between the first air duct surface and the second air duct surface is 30-150 degrees.

[0010] Furthermore, the column mechanism also includes a side panel or a cabinet door arranged between two of the air duct columns, and an inner air duct is formed between the side panel and the adjacent air duct columns or between the cabinet door and the adjacent air duct columns.

[0011] Furthermore, the equipment installation space is communicated with the inner air duct, and the vent group is communicated with the inner air duct.

[0012] Furthermore, a ventilation net is provided at the ventilation opening.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes a sealing member used to be arranged on the ventilation opening group to change the air duct path.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes an equipment bracket arranged between adjacent column mechanisms, and the equipment bracket is fixedly connected to the air duct column.

[0015] Furthermore, three column mechanisms are provided inside the cabinet, and the three column mechanisms are distributed in the cabinet in sequence and at intervals.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention forms an integrated cabinet by providing at least two relatively arranged column mechanisms inside the cabinet body, and the integrated cabinet has a simple structure and is easy to assemble, wherein the column mechanism is provided with two groups of vent groups arranged in different directions, and an equipment installation space is provided between the column mechanisms, and the equipment installation space is connected with the vent group to form an air circulation channel for cooling; the present invention can change the inlet and outlet directions through the cooperation of the vent groups, so that the inlet and outlet are located in different directions, and the hot and cold air are not staggered, and at the same time, the cold air can flow through the designated equipment to cool the designated equipment. Since the equipment is placed in a centralized manner, the equipment can be cooled in a centralized manner, and the cooling efficiency is high. Moreover, the present invention only needs to realize the circulation of air and then cool the equipment through the driving device of the pre-cooling equipment, and no high-power pushing equipment is required, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 A wind energy cooling integrated cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a cabinet body 1, wherein at least two oppositely arranged column mechanisms 2 are arranged inside the cabinet body 1, and the column mechanism 2 has two vent groups 213 arranged in different directions, and an equipment installation space is arranged between the column mechanisms 2, and the equipment installation space is connected with the vent group 213 to form an air circulation channel for cooling.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, a single integrated cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 and two column mechanisms 2, wherein the column mechanisms 2 are located at the edge of the cabinet body 1, and the width of the column mechanisms 2 is substantially the same as the width of the cabinet body 1, wherein the column mechanisms 2 are relatively arranged, and there is equipment installation space between the column mechanisms 2, and multiple groups of equipment can be installed in the equipment installation space, so when cold air flows into the equipment installation space, multiple groups of equipment can be cooled at the same time, with high cooling efficiency.

[0027] In the above structure, the column mechanism 2 is provided with two sets of ventilating openings 213 in different directions, see Figure 1The vent groups 213 are respectively arranged at the front and back positions of the column mechanism 2. Therefore, the front and back of the column mechanism 2 can be used as air inlets and outlets. The power for air to enter the integrated cabinet comes from the driving device of the pre-cooling device 5. The driving device of the pre-cooling device 5 drives the cold air from the outside to enter the vent group 213 and then enter the equipment installation space to cool the pre-cooling device 5. The vent group 213 can be closed by the closing member 4, so that the cold air can only enter from the unclosed vent group 213 on one side, and the hot air can only be discharged from the unclosed vent group 213 on the other side. Therefore, by closing the vent groups 213 in different directions, the hot air can only enter from the unclosed vent group 213 on the other side. 13 can make the air inlet and the vents located in different directions, so that the cold air on the air inlet side and the hot air on the air outlet side are not intertwined, ensuring that the cooling effect will not be affected. For example, the column mechanism 2 is arranged on the left and right sides, and the vent group 213 of the left column mechanism 2 is the air inlet. If the vent group 213 on the back of the left column mechanism 2 is closed, the air inlet can only be the front vent of the left column mechanism 2, and at the same time, the vent group 213 on the front of the right column mechanism 2 is closed, then the air outlet can only be the back vent of the right column mechanism 2. Therefore, the air inlet and outlet are in fixed directions and in different directions, and the cold air at the air inlet and the hot air at the air outlet are not intertwined.

[0028] The above-mentioned closing of the ventilation group by the closing member 4 is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the air inlet and outlet can also be limited by auxiliary driving of a driving device. For example, an exhaust fan is arranged in the column mechanism 2 inside the selected air inlet side, so that most of the air enters the integrated cabinet from the selected air inlet, and at the same time, an exhaust fan is arranged outside the selected air outlet to extract hot air from the air outlet, thereby also being able to limit the effect of the air inlet and outlet to a certain extent; the closing member 4 and the auxiliary driving device can also be used together on the integrated cabinet to obtain a better air inlet and outlet limiting effect than the above two methods.

[0029] The integrated cabinet provided by the present invention can guide the cold air to the vent group 213 on the surface of the cabinet body 1 through the corresponding condenser, hair dryer or exhaust fan, and absorb the cold air from the vent to the equipment installation space through the exhaust device of the equipment. When the cold air contacts the equipment in the equipment installation space, the cold air will take away the heat emitted by the equipment due to the temperature difference between the cold air and the equipment temperature, and be discharged from the vent group 213 of the column mechanism 2 on the other side.

[0030] The above is an implementation method of cooling the room according to the present invention. At present, since most computer rooms are still traditional computer rooms, air conditioners are installed in the computer rooms to cool the space in the computer rooms. Therefore, the temperature in traditional computer rooms is relatively low. If the integrated cabinet provided by the present invention is used in a traditional computer room, there is no need to configure additional condensers and hair dryers. The exhaust fan of the pre-cooling device 5 can introduce the cold air from the external computer room space from the air inlet, flow through the equipment installation space, and be discharged from the air outlet on the other side, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling the pre-cooling device 5.

[0031] See also Figure 3 When the integrated cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 and at least three column mechanisms 2, the integrated cabinet will have multiple equipment installation spaces, the space between two adjacent column mechanisms 2 is the equipment installation space, and the adjacent equipment spaces are interconnected, wherein, when the fixed device of the fixed pre-cooling device 5 is fixedly connected to the column mechanism 2, the left and right sides of the column mechanism 2 need to be provided with structures fixed to the fixed device, and the fixing structures on the left and right sides are not necessarily the same. For example, the structure for fixing the column mechanism 2 to the fixed device is a vertical sheet plate with threaded holes on the sheet plate, wherein the sheet plate on the left with the threaded holes faces the front and rear sides, and the sheet plate on the right with the threaded holes faces the left and right sides; when the fixed device of the fixed pre-cooling device 5 is fixedly connected to the corresponding structure of the cabinet body 1, the column mechanism 2 does not need to be provided with a corresponding structure fixed to the fixed device.

[0032] The above-mentioned embodiment is a preferred embodiment when there is an odd number of column mechanisms 2. When the fixing device for fixing the pre-cooling device 5 is fixed to the column mechanism 2, and the number of the column mechanisms 2 is an even number other than 0, the column mechanism 2 may have only one end provided with a structure fixed to the fixing device. When the column mechanism 2 with this fixing structure is adopted, in addition to the column mechanisms 2 at both ends, the two adjacent column mechanisms 2 in the middle need to be tightly attached or fixed together, and both sides of the two column mechanisms 2 attached or fixed together will have a mechanism fixed to the fixing device. The integrated cabinet group formed in this way is similar to a spliced ​​cabinet formed by splicing together multiple separate integrated cabinets with only one equipment installation space.

[0033] In this example, the column mechanism 2 includes two air duct columns 21 that are relatively arranged and fixedly connected, and the air duct column 21 includes a first air duct surface 211 and a second air duct surface 212 that are connected to each other, and the two groups of ventilation opening groups 213 are respectively arranged on the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212.

[0034] In this example, the ventilation opening group 213 includes at least two ventilation openings evenly distributed on the first air duct surface 211 or the second air duct surface 212 along the vertical direction.

[0035] Preferably, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 The middle column mechanism 2 is located on both sides, and the two ends of the column mechanism 2 are provided with the same column structure, which is a duct column 21, wherein the surface of the duct column 21 provided with the vent group 213 is the first duct surface 211 and the second duct surface 212, and the vent group 213 on the second duct surface 212 faces the front or back, and is used to guide the outside air into the cabinet or discharge the air in the cabinet to the outside, wherein, due to the limited width of the first duct surface 211 and the second duct surface 212, in order to ensure that the air can flow in and out smoothly The air duct column 21 has vents distributed in the vertical direction so that the overall area of ​​the vent group 213 is large enough; there is a certain angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212, and the first air duct surface 211 is located inside the cabinet 1. There is a space between the first air duct surfaces 211 of the two air duct columns 21 of the same column mechanism 2, and the space is connected to the equipment installation space, and the space is the air inlet or outlet of the equipment installation space. Therefore, the column mechanism 2 and the cabinet 1 cooperate to form an air circulation channel with multiple air duct directions.

[0036] In this example, the angle formed between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 is 30-150 degrees.

[0037] Among them, the angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 must be between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. In order to ensure that the air can circulate in the cabinet body 1 and the space utilization rate of the integrated cabinet is not too low, the angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 is 30-150 degrees. However, when the angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 is less than 90 degrees, the air will be blocked by the first air duct surface 211 after entering from the second air duct surface 212, affecting the efficiency of air flowing into the equipment installation space. When the angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 is greater than 90 degrees, the second air duct surface 212 will extend horizontally to compress the size of the equipment installation space, resulting in a low space utilization rate of the integrated cabinet. Therefore, the angle between the first air duct surface 211 and the second air duct surface 212 is preferably 90 degrees, so that the space utilization rate of the integrated cabinet is not reduced while ensuring the air circulation effect.

[0038] In this example, the column mechanism 2 further includes a side panel or a cabinet door arranged between two of the air duct columns 21 , and an inner air duct is formed between the side panel and the adjacent air duct columns 21 or between the cabinet door and the adjacent air duct columns 21 .

[0039] Preferably, in order to ensure that only the vents serve as channels for exchanging air with the outside world, the space between the two air duct columns 21 needs to be closed. Specifically, the space between the two air duct columns 21 can be closed by installing side panels or cabinet doors. When there are only two or fewer equipment installation spaces, the equipment can be installed from both sides. When there are three or more equipment installation spaces, except for the two ends where the equipment can be installed from both sides, the remaining positions must be installed from the front or back. Therefore, in order to ensure the convenience of equipment installation, cabinet doors are installed at the corresponding positions on at least one side of the front or back, and side panels or cabinet doors can be installed at the corresponding positions of the remaining sides.

[0040] In this example, the equipment installation space is in communication with the inner air duct, and the vent group 213 is in communication with the inner air duct.

[0041] Since the air inlet and outlet on the duct column 21 are not directly connected to the equipment installation space, and since the outside air can only enter and exit through the vents, in order to allow the outside air to enter the equipment installation space and the air in the equipment installation space to be discharged from the vents, a corresponding transfer duct is required as an air transfer space. In this embodiment, the transfer duct is an inner duct formed by the side panels or cabinet doors and the adjacent duct columns 21, wherein the inner duct is connected to the equipment installation space and the vents at the same time; in addition to the above functions, the inner duct also changes the air circulation direction. The air enters the inner duct from the vents on the front or back. After flowing from the inner duct to the equipment installation space, the air flow direction is changed to lateral flow. After flowing out of the equipment space, the air is changed to flow along the back or front, and then flows out of the integrated cabinet through the vents, thereby achieving cooling of the pre-cooling device 5.

[0042] In this example, a ventilation net is provided at the ventilation opening.

[0043] When the area of ​​a single vent is large, air flowing into the vent is likely to bring in debris. When the debris flows into the equipment along with the air, it may affect the operation of the equipment or even damage the equipment. Therefore, in order to prevent cold air from bringing in large debris when entering from the vent and thus affecting the operation of the equipment, it is necessary to set a corresponding filtering device at the vent or air guide port. This embodiment preferably uses a ventilation net at the vent to filter out debris, so that larger debris in the air can be filtered out without affecting the air circulation effect.

[0044] In this example, a sealing member 4 is also included, which is arranged on the ventilation opening group and is used to change the air duct path.

[0045] As mentioned above, the vent group 213 can be closed by the closure member 4, so that cold air can only enter from the unclosed vent group 213 on one side, and hot air is discharged from the unclosed vent group 213 on the other side. In this way, the air circulation direction can be limited, and the position of the inlet and outlet can be limited.

[0046] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, the closing member 4 is preferably a shielding piece that can cover the vent, and the vent is closed by fixing the shielding piece at the vent position of the air duct column 21. There are many fixing methods, as long as it is a detachable fixing method. This embodiment preferably uses a screw connection method to fix the shielding piece.

[0047] The above embodiment is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The closing member 4 can also be a rotating member with one end rotatably connected to one side of the vent, and a first connecting structure is provided at the other end of the rotating member, and a corresponding second connecting structure is provided on the other side of the vent. The first connecting structure can be detachably connected to the second connecting structure. For example, the first connecting structure is a threaded hole, and the second connecting structure is also a threaded hole. The first connecting structure can be screwed to the second connecting structure through bolts; for another example, the first connecting structure is a buckle, and the second connecting structure is a sleeve, and the first connecting structure can be snap-connected to the second connecting structure; when the first connecting structure is connected to the second connecting structure, the rotating member will close the vent to prevent air circulation.

[0048] In this example, it also includes an equipment bracket 3 arranged between adjacent column mechanisms 2, and the equipment bracket 3 is fixedly connected to the air duct column 21.

[0049] Among them, the equipment bracket 3 is the aforementioned fixed equipment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the equipment bracket 3 in this embodiment is preferably an "L"-shaped sheet bracket, and the equipment bracket 3 includes an integrally connected mounting surface for fixing to the air duct column 21, and a fixing surface for fixing the pre-cooling device 5, wherein the connection method in this embodiment is preferably screw connection, and threaded holes are provided on the mounting surface and the fixing surface, and corresponding threaded holes are provided on the air duct column 21 and the pre-cooling device 5, so as to realize the screw connection between the mounting surface and the air duct column 21, and the screw connection between the fixing surface and the pre-cooling device 5.

[0050] In this example, three column mechanisms 2 are disposed inside the cabinet 1 , and the three column mechanisms 2 are distributed in the cabinet 1 in sequence and at intervals.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, three column mechanisms 2 can form an integrated cabinet with two equipment spaces. When the integrated mechanism includes two equipment installation spaces, the air inlet is preferably a vent located on the front or back of the middle column mechanism 2. In order to avoid the interlacing of cold and hot air, the air outlet is a vent located on the column mechanisms 2 at both ends in the opposite direction of the air inlet. For example, to achieve air circulation in which the front vent group 213 of the middle column mechanism 2 is the air inlet and the back vent group 213 of the column mechanisms 2 at both ends is the air outlet, a closure member 4 can be used to close the vent group 213 on the back of the middle column mechanism 2 and the vent group 213 on the front of the column mechanisms 2 at both ends, thereby forming a directional air circulation channel with different inlet and outlet directions. The effect diagram of the air circulation direction is shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown; the integrated cabinet with three column mechanisms 2 further improves the integration degree compared with the integrated cabinet with two column mechanisms 2, thereby further improving the cooling efficiency.

[0052] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
