[0030] In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present invention, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0031] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the computer room air conditioning system provided by the first embodiment of the present invention includes a support plate 100, a plurality of cabinets 10 and a plurality of air conditioners 20, and the computer room air conditioning system also includes an external heat dissipation device and a cold plate coil 40. During the assembly and arrangement process, a plurality of cabinets 10 are placed on the support plate 100 (the support plate 100 is the floor of the computer room space) to form a plurality of rows, two adjacent rows of cabinets 10 and the ceiling and floor of the computer room space form a channel, and the channel openings formed between the two adjacent rows of cabinets 10 are provided with a sealed channel door 103, and the channels on both sides of a row of servers are respectively a hot channel 101 and a cold channel 102, that is, the hot channel 101 corresponds to the hot air side of the cabinet 10, and the cold channel 102 corresponds to the cold air side of the cabinet 10, wherein the two rows of cabinets 10 near the two side walls of the computer room space respectively form a hot channel 101 or a cold channel 102 with the wall. A plurality of air conditioners 20 are placed under the support plate 100 to form a plurality of rows, and one row of air conditioners 20 corresponds to one row of cabinets 10. In the specific configuration of the air path circulation process, the air conditioner 20 has an air inlet 21 and an air outlet 22. The air inlet 21 is connected to the hot channel 101, and the air outlet 22 is connected to the cold channel 102 (that is, the air inlet draws hot air from the hot air side, and the air outlet blows cold air to the cold air side). In this way, the cold air blown out of the air outlet 22 of the air conditioner 20 enters the cold channel 102, and then the cold air flows through the cabinet 10 to take away the heat, and the air flow flows into the hot channel 101. The hot air in the hot channel 101 is sucked by the air conditioner 20 and circulated from the air inlet 21 into the heat exchanger of the air conditioner 20 for circulating heat exchange, thereby forming cold air again and blowing it out from the air outlet 22. Furthermore, the computer room air conditioning system of the first embodiment also includes an infusion main pipe 31 and a return liquid main pipe 32. The infusion main pipe 31 is used to provide refrigeration fluid. The infusion main pipe 31 and the return liquid main pipe 32 both extend toward the air conditioner 20. The cold plate coil 40 has a liquid inlet interface 41 and a liquid outlet interface 42. The cold plate coil 40 is arranged on the cabinet 10. In this way, while the air conditioner 20 is used to blow cold air to the cabinet 10 for cooling, the cold plate coil 40 is used to achieve secondary heat dissipation and cooling, which is more conducive to the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the entire computer room air conditioning system. Among them, the air conditioner 20 also has an air conditioning liquid inlet 23 and an air conditioning liquid outlet 24. The air conditioning liquid inlet 23 is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, the air conditioning liquid outlet 24 is connected to the liquid inlet interface 41, and the liquid outlet interface 42 is connected to the liquid return main pipe 32. In this way, a series mode is formed between the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40, that is, the same refrigerant is used for heat exchange between the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 to take away the heat generated by the server and realize heat dissipation and cooling of the server.
[0033] In the present invention, heat dissipation and cooling of the cabinet 10 are achieved simultaneously by using the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40. Compared with the prior art, heat dissipation and cooling of the cabinet 10 are achieved more effectively, and the heat retained in the computer room can be taken away more promptly and quickly, so as to achieve the purpose of timely and rapid heat dissipation and cooling of the computer room. In addition, in the process of arranging the pipes of the computer room air conditioning system, the pipes between the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 are connected in series, so that the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 can use the same refrigerant as a whole for heat exchange. While ensuring that the heat can be effectively taken away, the overall pipe arrangement structure of the computer room air conditioning system is simplified, and the use of refrigerant is saved, thereby saving costs.
[0034] In the first embodiment, the computer room air conditioning system further includes a first refrigerator 50, which is detachably mounted on the housing of the air conditioner 20, and the first refrigerator 50 and the air conditioner 20 are located below the support plate 100. Specifically, the first refrigerator 50 has a first plate exchange liquid inlet 51, a first plate exchange liquid outlet 52 and a first heat exchange flow path 53. The first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 is connected to the air conditioner liquid outlet 24, the first plate exchange liquid outlet 52 is connected to the return liquid main pipe 32, the liquid outlet end of the first heat exchange flow path 53 is connected to the liquid inlet interface 41, and the liquid inlet end of the first heat exchange flow path 53 is connected to the liquid outlet interface 42. By setting the first refrigerator 50, the cold plate coil 40 and the first refrigerator 50 form a secondary cooling cycle independent of the air conditioner 20, and the heat exchange between the cold plate coil 40 and the cabinet 10 is to exchange heat with the refrigerant transported by the liquid infusion main pipe 31, thereby more effectively achieving heat dissipation and cooling.
[0035] In the present application, the first refrigerator 50 may be a plate heat exchanger, a shell and tube heat exchanger, a tank heat exchanger, or the like.
[0036] The first refrigerator 50 can be installed in the system as an optional module. In the installation process, in order to shorten the length of the connecting pipeline, the air conditioner liquid inlet 23 and the air conditioner liquid outlet 24 are both set on the same side of the air conditioner 20, and the first refrigerator 50 is hung on the side of the air conditioner 20 where the air conditioner liquid inlet 23 and the air conditioner liquid outlet 24 are set, and the first plate liquid inlet 51 and the first plate liquid outlet 52 of the first refrigerator 50 are both set on the same side of the first refrigerator 50, and then, the pipeline connected from the first plate liquid inlet 51 is connected to the air conditioner liquid outlet 24, and the pipeline connected from the first plate liquid outlet 52 is connected to the return liquid main pipe 32. In this way, whether the first refrigerator 50 as an optional module is installed in the system or not, it does not affect the relative position between the air conditioner 20 and the infusion main pipe 31 and the return liquid main pipe 32, which is convenient for installation.
[0037] like Figure 2As shown, in the computer room air conditioning system of the first embodiment, the external heat release device specifically uses a cooling tower 310 to store refrigerant and realize circulation. In the present invention, water is used as the refrigerant. The cooling tower 310 provides circulating refrigerant water to the pipeline of the computer room air conditioning system, and heat exchange is realized by the circulating water flowing in the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40. In the specific assembly process, the cooling tower 310 is placed outside the computer room space. The cooling tower 310 has a cooling tower inlet 311 and a cooling tower outlet 312. The cooling tower outlet 312 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and the cooling tower inlet 311 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid return main pipe 32. Using water as the refrigerant can effectively save costs and is conducive to the popularization of the computer room air conditioning system.
[0038] The cooling tower 310 may be a water-cooled cooling tower, an air-cooled cooling tower, or a cooling tower that uses other refrigerant media for heat exchange.
[0039] Furthermore, in the computer room air conditioning system of the first embodiment, a valve A61 is provided between the cooling tower outlet 312 and the liquid inlet end of the liquid delivery main pipe 31, and a valve B62 is provided between the cooling tower inlet 311 and the liquid outlet end of the liquid return main pipe 32. In this way, the cooling tower 310 and the pipeline in the computer room air conditioning system can be connected and disconnected through the valve A61 and the valve B62. When the air conditioner 20 or the cold plate coil 40 needs to be maintained or replaced, the circulating water is cut off by closing the valve A61 and the valve B62, and then the maintenance and replacement work is carried out. At this time, the circulating water no longer flows into the computer room space, which is convenient for work.
[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, a water pump is provided on the connecting pipeline between the cooling tower 310 and the liquid return main pipe 32, and a water pump is provided on the connecting pipeline between the liquid outlet end of the first heat exchange flow path 53 and the liquid inlet interface 41, and the water pump is used to provide circulating water flow power.
[0041] In the first embodiment, in order to realize the overall automatic monitoring and control, the control module is used to realize the control of valve A61, valve B62, and air conditioner 20, and realize the intelligent automatic control of the computer room air conditioning system. Among them, the control module can be any control system that can realize intelligent Internet of Things control, which is already popular in the prior art, so it will not be repeated here.
[0042] like Figure 3As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a variation of the pipeline arrangement of the first embodiment. Specifically, a first regulating valve 201 is provided on the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the air conditioner liquid outlet 24. In this way, during the operation of the heat dissipation and cooling device of the computer room air conditioning system, while using the air conditioner 20 to blow cold air into the computer room air conditioning system to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10 and using the cold plate coil 40 to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10, the first regulating valve 201 can be used to adjust the flow rate and flow velocity of the refrigerant between the pipeline of the air conditioner 20 and the pipeline of the first refrigerator 50, control a small flow rate when the cabinet 10 is less heated, and open a large flow rate of refrigerant when the cabinet 10 is heated violently to meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements. In this way, it helps to save power consumption, save energy, and reduce costs.
[0043] Further, in the modified structure of the first embodiment, a regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the first regulating valve 201, and the other end of the regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and a second regulating valve 203 is provided on the regulating branch pipe 202. In the process of heat dissipation and cooling of the cabinet 10, when the cabinet 10 is heated violently, the second regulating valve 203 can be opened at this time to replenish the first refrigerator 50 from the liquid infusion main pipe 31, thereby increasing the flow rate and flow velocity of the refrigerant entering the first refrigerator 50, so that the first refrigerator 50 and the cold plate coil 40 can exchange heat more quickly and efficiently, thereby taking away more heat from the cabinet 10, and enhancing the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the cold plate coil 40 on the cabinet 10. Generally, the series path of the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 can meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements, so under normal circumstances, the second regulating valve 203 is closed (that is, the regulating branch pipe 202 is disconnected and the refrigerant cannot pass).
[0044] Except for the above structure, the modified structure is the same as the first embodiment.
[0045] like Figure 4As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of another variation of the pipeline arrangement of the first embodiment. A second refrigerator 301 and a compressor 302 are provided in the air conditioner 20. The second refrigerator 301 has a second plate exchange liquid inlet, a second plate exchange liquid outlet, and a second heat exchange flow path. The second plate exchange liquid inlet is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and the second plate exchange liquid outlet is connected to the liquid return main pipe 32. The liquid outlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator inlet of the air conditioner 20. The coolant output by the cooling tower 310 flows through the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange. In addition, the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20, and the compressor 302 is arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path and the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20. The compressor 302 compresses the refrigerant fluid in the second heat exchange flow path, and transmits it to the evaporator of the air conditioner 20 for cooling, and then flows back to the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange with the coolant transported by the cooling tower 310, and the coolant takes away the heat, thereby achieving heat dissipation and cooling. Furthermore, a flow regulating valve can be arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet main pipe 31 and the second plate exchange liquid inlet, so as to adjust it according to the demand of the refrigeration output of the air conditioner 20, so as to achieve the purpose of saving energy consumption.
[0046] In the present application, the second refrigerator 301 may be a plate heat exchanger, a shell and tube heat exchanger, a tank heat exchanger, or the like.
[0047] like Figure 5 , which shows a schematic diagram of the pipeline arrangement structure of the second embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the computer room air conditioning system of the first embodiment, the computer room air conditioning system of the second embodiment has the following differences.
[0048] In the computer room air conditioning system of the second embodiment, the external heat release device specifically uses a cooling tower 310 and a water cooling unit 320 at the same time, wherein the cooling tower 310 is mainly responsible for dissipating heat and cooling the water cooling unit 320, while the water cooling unit 320 provides circulating cooling water to the pipeline in the computer room air conditioning system to dissipate heat and cool the cabinet 10. In the specific assembly process, the cooling tower 310 has a cooling tower inlet 311 and a cooling tower outlet 312, and the water cooling unit 320 has a unit liquid inlet 321, a unit liquid outlet 322, a cooling liquid inlet and a cooling liquid outlet, the unit liquid outlet 322 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the liquid infusion main pipe 31, the unit liquid inlet 321 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the liquid return main pipe 32, the cooling liquid inlet is connected to the cooling tower outlet 312, and the cooling liquid outlet is connected to the cooling tower inlet 311.
[0049] Furthermore, a valve C63 is provided between the unit liquid outlet 322 and the liquid inlet end of the liquid infusion main pipe 31, a valve D64 is provided between the unit liquid inlet 321 and the liquid outlet end of the return liquid main pipe 32, a valve E66 is provided between the cooling tower outlet 312 and the cooling liquid inlet, and a valve F65 is provided between the cooling tower inlet 311 and the cooling liquid outlet. The cooling tower 310 and the pipeline in the machine room air conditioning system are connected and disconnected by valves C63 and D64. When the air conditioner 20 or the cold plate coil 40 needs to be maintained or replaced, the circulating water is cut off by closing valves C63 and D64, and then the maintenance and replacement work is carried out. At this time, the circulating water no longer flows into the machine room space, which is convenient for work. The pipe between the cooling tower 310 and the water cooling unit 320 is opened and closed by valve E66 and valve F65. When the water cooling unit 320 needs to be maintained or replaced, the circulating water is cut off by closing valve E66 and valve F65, and then the maintenance or replacement work is carried out. Correspondingly, the control module is also electrically connected to valve C63, valve D64, valve E66 and valve F65 to realize intelligent automatic control.
[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, a pump is provided on the connecting pipeline between the cooling tower 310 and the return liquid main pipe 32, a water pump is provided on the connecting pipeline between the liquid outlet end of the first heat exchange flow path 53 and the liquid inlet interface 41, and a water pump is provided between the water cooling unit 320 and the return liquid main pipe 32. The pump is used to provide circulating water flow power, and the water cooling unit 320 itself has a pump to provide output and reflux power for the circulating water.
[0051] Compared with the first embodiment, the second embodiment has the same structures except for the above structures, and thus will not be described in detail here.
[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, it shows a schematic diagram of a transformation structure of the pipeline arrangement of the second embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, a first regulating valve 201 is provided on the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the air conditioner liquid outlet 24. In this way, during the operation of the heat dissipation and cooling device of the computer room air conditioning system, while using the air conditioner 20 to blow cold air into the computer room air conditioning system to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10 and using the cold plate coil 40 to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10, the first regulating valve 201 can be used to adjust the flow rate and flow rate of the refrigerant between the pipeline of the air conditioner 20 and the pipeline of the first refrigerator 50, control a small flow rate when the cabinet 10 is less heated, and open a large flow rate of refrigerant when the cabinet 10 is heated violently to meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements. In this way, it helps to save power consumption, save energy, and reduce costs.
[0053] Further, in the modified structure of the first embodiment, a regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the first regulating valve 201, and the other end of the regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and a second regulating valve 203 is provided on the regulating branch pipe 202. In the process of heat dissipation and cooling of the cabinet 10, when the cabinet 10 is heated violently, the second regulating valve 203 can be opened at this time to replenish the first refrigerator 50 from the liquid infusion main pipe 31, thereby increasing the flow rate and flow velocity of the refrigerant entering the first refrigerator 50, so that the first refrigerator 50 and the cold plate coil 40 can exchange heat more quickly and efficiently, thereby taking away more heat from the cabinet 10, and enhancing the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the cold plate coil 40 on the cabinet 10. Generally, the series path of the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 can meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements, so under normal circumstances, the second regulating valve 203 is closed (that is, the regulating branch pipe 202 is disconnected and the refrigerant cannot pass). Except for the above structure, the deformation structure is the same as the third embodiment.
[0054] like Figure 7 As shown, it shows another structural schematic diagram of the pipeline arrangement of the second embodiment of the present invention. A second refrigerator 301 and a compressor 302 are provided in the air conditioner 20. The second refrigerator 301 has a second plate exchange liquid inlet, a second plate exchange liquid outlet and a second heat exchange flow path. The second plate exchange liquid inlet is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, the second plate exchange liquid outlet is connected to the liquid return main pipe 32, the liquid outlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator inlet of the air conditioner 20, and the coolant output by the cooling tower 310 flows through the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange. In addition, the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20, and the compressor 302 is arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path and the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20. The compressor 302 compresses the refrigerant fluid in the second heat exchange flow path, and transmits it to the evaporator of the air conditioner 20 for cooling, and then flows back to the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange with the coolant transported by the cooling tower 310, and the coolant takes away the heat, thereby achieving heat dissipation and cooling. Furthermore, a flow regulating valve can be arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet main pipe 31 and the second plate exchange liquid inlet, so as to adjust it according to the demand of the refrigeration output of the air conditioner 20, so as to achieve the purpose of saving energy consumption.
[0055] like Figure 8 As shown, it shows a schematic diagram of the piping arrangement structure of the computer room air conditioning system of the third embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the computer room air conditioning system of the second embodiment, the computer room air conditioning system of the third embodiment has the following differences.
[0056] In the computer room air conditioning system of the third embodiment, the cooling tower outlet 312 is connected to the liquid inlet end of the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and the cooling tower inlet 311 is connected to the liquid outlet end of the return liquid main pipe 32. A valve A61 is provided between the cooling tower outlet 312 and the liquid inlet end of the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and a valve B62 is provided between the cooling tower inlet 311 and the liquid outlet end of the return liquid main pipe 32. In this way, the cooling tower 310 and the water cooling unit 320 can be turned on and off by the valves A61 and B62. When the water cooling unit 320 needs to be maintained, the circulating water can be cut off by closing the valves A61 and B62. A valve E66 is provided between the cooling tower outlet 312 and the cooling liquid inlet, and a valve F65 is provided between the cooling tower inlet 311 and the cooling liquid outlet. By controlling valves E66, F65, C63 and D64, wherein valves E66 and F65 are opened and closed at the same time, and valves C63 and D64 are opened and closed at the same time, the switching between the pipeline connection between the cooling tower 310 and the computer room air conditioning system and the pipeline connection between the water cooling unit 320 and the computer room air conditioning system can be achieved.
[0057] When the cooling tower 310 is switched to be connected to the pipeline of the machine room air conditioning system, valve A61 and valve B62 are opened at the same time, and valve C63, valve D64, valve E66, and valve F65 are closed at the same time.
[0058] In order to further realize automatic control, the computer room air conditioning system of the fourth embodiment also includes a control module. Valve A61, valve B62, valve C63, valve D64, valve E66 and valve F65 are all electromagnetic control valves. The control modules are electrically connected to valve A61, valve B62, valve C63, valve D64, valve E66 and valve F65, and the control module controls the operation of the air conditioner 20.
[0059] like Fig. 9 As shown, it is a structural schematic diagram of a variation of the pipeline arrangement of the third embodiment. Specifically, a first regulating valve 201 is provided on the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the air conditioner liquid outlet 24. In this way, during the operation of the heat dissipation and cooling device of the computer room air conditioning system, while using the air conditioner 20 to blow cold air into the computer room air conditioning system to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10 and using the cold plate coil 40 to take away the heat generated by the cabinet 10, the flow rate and flow velocity of the refrigerant between the pipeline of the air conditioner 20 and the pipeline of the first refrigerator 50 can be adjusted by the first regulating valve 201, and a small flow rate is controlled when the cabinet 10 generates less heat, and a large flow rate of refrigerant is opened when the cabinet 10 generates intense heat to meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements. In this way, it helps to save power consumption, save energy, and reduce costs.
[0060] Further, in the modified structure of the first embodiment, a regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the pipeline between the first plate exchange liquid inlet 51 and the first regulating valve 201, and the other end of the regulating branch pipe 202 is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, and a second regulating valve 203 is provided on the regulating branch pipe 202. In the process of heat dissipation and cooling of the cabinet 10, when the cabinet 10 is heated violently, the second regulating valve 203 can be opened at this time to replenish the first refrigerator 50 from the liquid infusion main pipe 31, thereby increasing the flow rate and flow velocity of the refrigerant entering the first refrigerator 50, so that the first refrigerator 50 and the cold plate coil 40 can exchange heat more quickly and efficiently, thereby taking away more heat from the cabinet 10, and enhancing the heat dissipation and cooling effect of the cold plate coil 40 on the cabinet 10. Generally, the series path of the air conditioner 20 and the cold plate coil 40 can meet the heat dissipation and cooling requirements, so under normal circumstances, the second regulating valve 203 is closed (that is, the regulating branch pipe 202 is disconnected and the refrigerant cannot pass). Among them, except for the above structure, the deformation structure is the same as the fourth embodiment.
[0061] like Fig.10 As shown, it shows another structural diagram of the pipeline arrangement of the third embodiment of the present invention. A second refrigerator 301 and a compressor 302 are provided in the air conditioner 20. The second refrigerator 301 has a second plate exchange liquid inlet, a second plate exchange liquid outlet and a second heat exchange flow path. The second plate exchange liquid inlet is connected to the liquid infusion main pipe 31, the second plate exchange liquid outlet is connected to the liquid return main pipe 32, the liquid outlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator inlet of the air conditioner 20, and the coolant output by the cooling tower 310 flows through the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange. In addition, the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path is connected to the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20, and the compressor 302 is arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet end of the second heat exchange flow path and the evaporator outlet of the air conditioner 20. The compressor 302 compresses the refrigerant fluid in the second heat exchange flow path, and transmits it to the evaporator of the air conditioner 20 for cooling, and then flows back to the second refrigerator 301 for heat exchange with the coolant transported by the cooling tower 310, and the coolant takes away the heat, thereby achieving heat dissipation and cooling. Furthermore, a flow regulating valve can be arranged on the connecting pipeline between the liquid inlet main pipe 31 and the second plate exchange liquid inlet, so as to adjust it according to the demand of the refrigeration output of the air conditioner 20, so as to achieve the purpose of saving energy consumption.
[0062] In summary, the fourth embodiment is similar to the third embodiment in structure except for the above structure differences, and thus will not be described in detail herein.
[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is 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.
