Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of data center cooling, and specifically to an emergency mobile cold source device for a data center. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of our technology, the Internet, cloud computing, big data, etc. have all emerged. Data centers have a high computing density, large operating loads and cooling loads. Therefore, data centers are quite important in the Internet. Currently, water cooling is mainly used for cooling data centers. However, for some servers with excessive operating loads, there will be a drawback of insufficient cooling, resulting in serious overheating of these servers and even crashing, which may lead to server paralysis. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an emergency mobile cold source device for a data center to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An emergency mobile cold source device for a data center, including a base and an energy module. The energy module is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the base. An outer housing is fixedly provided on the upper end face of the base. A cooling inner cavity is provided in the outer housing. A cooling body is fixedly provided on the lower side wall of the cooling inner cavity. A heat conduction plate is fixedly provided in the inner cavity of the cooling body, dividing the inner cavity of the cooling body into an upper inner cavity and a lower inner cavity. A water mist mechanism is provided between the upper inner cavity and the cooling inner cavity. A cold air return mechanism is provided in the lower inner cavity. Three heat insulation plates are equidistantly distributed on the upper side of the cooling body, and each heat insulation plate is fixedly installed between the left and right side walls of the cooling inner cavity. A vacuum insulation board is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the outer housing. Three fixing brackets are fixedly provided at equal intervals on the right end face of the outer housing, and three EC fans are respectively fixedly provided on each fixing bracket. Each EC fan is electrically connected to the energy module.

[0005] Preferably, the water mist mechanism includes an atomizer fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the upper inner cavity. The output end of the atomizer is communicated with an atomizing spiral spray pipe. The atomizing spiral spray pipe extends upward and is distributed above the three heat insulation plates. A drain pipe is fixedly communicated with the rear side wall of the upper inner cavity. The drain pipe penetrates through the rear end face of the outer housing and extends to the outside, and a switching valve is provided at the outlet. Thus, cooling water is added to the upper inner cavity, and the cooling water is atomized by the atomizer and emitted through the atomizing spiral spray pipe. The cold air of the ice on the heat insulation plates is blown out by the EC fans to the data server together to cool it down.

[0006] Preferably, the cold air reflux mechanism includes an air suction machine fixedly installed on the lower side wall of the lower inner cavity. A flexible telescopic tube is fixedly connected to the output port of the air suction machine. An activated carbon electrostatic filter screen is fixedly arranged at the connection of the inner cavity of the flexible telescopic tube. The right end face of the flexible telescopic tube is fixedly connected to an air connection cover. The right side wall of the lower inner cavity is fixedly connected to an air guide tube. A blower is fixedly arranged on the right end face of the outer shell. The air suction port of the blower is connected to the air guide tube. The output end of the blower is fixedly connected to a heat-insulating telescopic tube. The right end face of the heat-insulating telescopic tube is rotatably connected to a cold air cover. When the EC fan blows cold air and water mist into the server rack position in the data center to cool the servers, the cold air sinks. At this time, the air connection cover is pulled out and aligned with the bottom end of the server rack, so that the sinking cold air is received by the air connection cover and inhaled into the lower inner cavity. Thus, the cold air can not only cool the cooling water in the upper inner cavity through the heat conduction plate, but also be discharged back to the server position through the cold air cover. The angle of the cold air cover is adjusted so that the cold air ejected from the cold air cover forms an angle with the cold air ejected from the EC fan and collides, so that the cold air stays at the server position for a longer time, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the cold air.

[0007] Preferably, semi-cylindrical bodies are equidistantly distributed on the lower end face of the heat conduction plate, and the outer surface is covered with boron nitride heat-conducting rubber, which not only effectively ensures the heat conduction ability, enables the recycled cold air to cool the cold air water in the upper inner cavity, but also avoids the cold air condensing into water droplets when encountering the heat conduction plate.

[0008] Preferably, hexagonal through holes are densely arranged in each heat insulation plate, so that the water droplets generated after the ice cubes melt flow back into the upper inner cavity through the heat insulation plate for repeated use.

[0009] Preferably, four universal wheels are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the lower end face of the base, and each universal wheel roller is provided with a thickened rubber layer.

[0010] Preferably, the atomizer, the air suction machine and the blower are all electrically connected to the energy module.

[0011] Preferably, a latex layer with a rough surface is arranged on the upper surface layer of each heat insulation plate.

[0012] Preferably, the lower end face of the vacuum insulation panel is arc-shaped and the surface is covered with a stainless steel thin sheet layer.

[0013] In summary, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] The present invention greatly facilitates the cooling of servers in the computer room whose operating load is high and causes the temperature to rise, so that it is not necessary to increase the cooling power of the overall cooling system in the computer room, effectively reducing energy consumption. At the same time, it also speeds up the rapid cooling of some servers with higher temperatures. It not only atomizes the cooling water but also outputs the cold air of the ice cubes to the servers with serious heat generation through the EC fan. At the same time, the sinking cold air is recovered and ejected at an angle with the cold air ejected by the EC fan to generate a collision, so that the cold air stays at the server position for a longer time, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the cold air and saving energy.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: A data center emergency mobile cold source device, including a base 10 and an energy module 12. The energy module 12 is fixedly installed on the upper end surface of the base 10. An outer housing 13 is fixedly provided on the upper end surface of the base 10. A cooling inner cavity 28 is provided in the outer housing 13. A cooling body 14 is fixedly provided on the lower side wall of the cooling inner cavity 28. A heat conducting plate 15 is fixedly provided in the inner cavity of the cooling body 14, dividing the inner cavity of the cooling body 14 into an upper inner cavity 17 and a lower inner cavity 18. A water mist mechanism 101 is provided between the upper inner cavity 17 and the cooling inner cavity 28. A cold air return mechanism 102 is provided in the lower inner cavity 18. Three heat insulation plates 27 are equidistantly distributed on the upper side of the cooling body 14. Each heat insulation plate 27 is fixedly installed between the left and right side walls of the cooling inner cavity 28. A vacuum insulation board 31 is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the outer housing 13. Three fixing brackets 32 are equidistantly distributed and fixedly provided on the right end surface of the outer housing 13. Three EC fans 30 are respectively fixedly provided on each fixing bracket 32. Each EC fan 30 is electrically connected to the energy module 12.

[0025] In addition, in one embodiment, the water mist mechanism 101 includes an atomizer 16 fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the upper inner cavity 17. The output end of the atomizer 16 is communicated with an atomizing spiral spray pipe 29. The atomizing spiral spray pipe 29 extends upward and is distributed above the three heat insulation plates 27. A drain pipe 26 is fixedly communicated with the rear side wall of the upper inner cavity 17. The drain pipe 26 penetrates through the rear end surface of the outer housing 13 and extends to the outside, and a switch valve is provided at the outlet. Thus, cooling water is added to the upper inner cavity 17, and the cooling water is atomized by the atomizer 16 and emitted through the atomizing spiral spray pipe 29. The cold air of the ice cubes on the heat insulation plates 27 is blown out by the EC fans 30 to the data server to cool it down.

[0026] In addition, in one embodiment, the cold air reflux mechanism 102 includes an air suction machine 19 fixedly installed on the lower side wall of the lower inner cavity 18. An elastic telescopic tube 20 is fixedly connected to the output port of the air suction machine 19. An activated carbon electrostatic filter screen is fixedly arranged at the connection part of the inner cavity of the elastic telescopic tube 20. The right end face of the elastic telescopic tube 20 is fixedly connected to an air connection cover 21. A guide air pipe 22 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the lower inner cavity 18. A blower 23 is fixedly arranged on the right end face of the outer shell 13. The air suction port of the blower 23 is communicated with the guide air pipe 22. The output end of the blower 23 is fixedly connected to a heat insulation telescopic tube 25. The right end face of the heat insulation telescopic tube 25 is rotatably communicated with a cold air cover 24. When the EC fan 30 blows cold air and water mist into the position of the server rack in the data center to cool the server, the cold air sinks. At this time, the air connection cover 21 is pulled out and aligned with the bottom end of the server rack, so that the sinking cold air is received by the air connection cover 21 and inhaled into the lower inner cavity 18, so that the cold air can not only cool the cooling water in the upper inner cavity 17 through the heat conduction plate 15, but also be discharged back to the server position through the cold air cover 24. The angle of the cold air cover 24 is adjusted so that the cold air ejected from the cold air cover 24 forms an angle with the cold air ejected from the EC fan 30 to generate collision, so that the cold air stays at the server position for a longer time, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the cold air.

[0027] In addition, in one embodiment, semi-cylindrical bodies are equidistantly distributed on the lower end face of the heat conduction plate 15, and the outer surface is covered with boron nitride heat-conducting rubber, which not only effectively ensures the heat conduction ability, enables the recycled cold air to cool the cold air water in the upper inner cavity 17, but also avoids the cold air condensing into water droplets when encountering the heat conduction plate 15.

[0028] In addition, in one embodiment, hexagonal through holes are densely arranged in each heat insulation plate 27, so that the water droplets generated after the ice cubes melt flow back into the upper inner cavity 17 through the heat insulation plate 27 for repeated use.

[0029] In addition, in one embodiment, four universal wheels 11 are fixedly arranged at equal intervals on the lower end face of the base 10, and a thickened rubber layer is arranged on the roller of each universal wheel 11.

[0030] In addition, in one embodiment, the atomizer 16, the air suction machine 19 and the blower 23 are all electrically connected to the energy module 12.

[0031] In addition, in one embodiment, a latex layer with a rough surface is arranged on the upper surface layer of each heat insulation plate 27, which can avoid the ice cubes from sliding and melting too fast at the same time.

[0032] In addition, in one embodiment, the lower end surface of the vacuum insulation panel 31 is arc-shaped and is covered with a stainless steel sheet layer, so that the cold air from the uppermost ice cubes rises and condenses into water droplets when encountering the 31 and flows back, while excess cold air can be dispersed into the machine room along the arc at the bottom of the 31.

[0033] When the server needs to be cooled urgently, the device is pushed to the server position, the air receiving hood 21 is pulled out and aimed at the bottom of the server rack, and the EC fan 30 and the atomizer 16 are started, so that the cooling water is atomized and emitted through the atomizing spiral nozzle 29, and the cold air connected to the ice on the insulation board 27 is blown out to the data server by the EC fan 30 to cool it down. At the same time, the air blower 23 is started. When cooling the server, the cold air sinks downward. At this time, the air receiving hood 21 is pulled out and aimed at the bottom of the server rack. The bottom end of the server rack is formed so that the sinking cold air is received by the air receiving hood 21 and sucked into the lower inner cavity 18, so that the cold air can not only cool the cooling water in the upper inner cavity 17 through the heat conducting plate 15, but also be discharged to the server position again through the cold air hood 24. The angle of the cold air hood 24 is adjusted so that the cold air sprayed from the cold air hood 24 and the cold air sprayed from the EC fan 30 are at an angle to collide with each other, so that the cold air stays at the server position for a longer time, thereby further improving the utilization rate of the cold air.

[0034] The above is only a specific implementation of the invention, but the protection scope of the invention is not limited to it. Any changes or substitutions that are not conceived through creative work should be included in the protection scope of the invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the invention should be based on the protection scope defined in the claims.
