Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of communication technology, and in particular, to an air conditioning device for communication equipment and an air conditioning system for communication equipment. Background Art

[0002] The communication equipment in the communication room consumes a lot of electricity, and the heat generated needs to be removed by the room air conditioner. At present, the energy consumption of the room air conditioner in the communication room accounts for nearly half of the total electricity consumption, so air conditioning energy saving is the key to energy saving in the room.

[0003] With the development of communication networks, high-power communication equipment such as routers are increasingly used in computer rooms. The following problems exist in the application of high-power communication equipment:

[0004] First, due to the increase in power consumption and the unreasonable thermal design of communication equipment, ordinary air conditioning solutions have encountered huge bottlenecks in dealing with high-power communication equipment;

[0005] Second, the communication equipment in the existing computer room usually releases heat into the computer room, and then transfers it to the outside through the computer room air conditioner. Due to the backward cooling architecture of the computer room and the lack of consideration of the impact of air conditioning airflow organization on air conditioning energy efficiency, the cold airflow of the computer room air conditioner mixes with the hot air in the room, and the cold and hot airflows are not isolated, resulting in the cold air returning to the air conditioning device without sufficient heat exchange, causing the computer room air conditioner to have a relatively large loss itself and the air conditioning device to have low energy efficiency.

[0074] This embodiment provides an air conditioning device for communication equipment, the air conditioning device and the communication equipment are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other, wherein the communication equipment specifically refers to communication equipment such as routers that require heat dissipation. Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning device includes a main body 100, a return air duct 200, a refrigeration mechanism 400 and an air supply duct 300. The return air duct 200 is arranged in the main body 100, and the return air duct 200 is configured to absorb the heat generated by the communication equipment for the recovery of the hot air flow. The refrigeration mechanism 400 is arranged in the main body 100 and connected to the return air duct 200. The refrigeration mechanism 400 is configured to refrigerate the heat to form cold air. The air supply duct 300 is arranged in the main body 100 and connected to the end of the refrigeration mechanism 400 away from the return air duct 200. The air supply duct 300 is configured to transport cold air for the supply of cold air flow; wherein the return air duct 200 and the air supply duct 300 are arranged at intervals.

[0075] The air conditioning device for communication equipment provided in this embodiment is arranged in parallel and adjacent to the communication equipment, which is equivalent to the air conditioning device being arranged on one side of the communication equipment and arranged side by side with the communication equipment, so that the air conditioning device can cooperate with the relevant air duct components of the communication equipment to be refrigerated to form an integral structure. By arranging a return air channel 200 in the main body 100, the return air channel 200 absorbs the heat generated by the communication equipment to achieve the recovery of the hot air flow, and by arranging the refrigeration mechanism 400 in the main body 100 and connected to the return air channel 200, the refrigeration mechanism 400 can refrigerate the heat to form cold air to achieve the refrigeration process, and by arranging the air supply channel 300 in the main body 100 and connected to the end of the refrigeration mechanism 400 away from the return air channel 200, the air supply channel 300 can transport cold air to achieve the air supply process of the cold air flow. The return air duct 200 and the supply air duct 300 are arranged at intervals, and the return air duct 200 and the supply air duct 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the refrigeration mechanism 400 to complete the cold air flow supply in the main body 100. The cold and hot air flows are completely separated and do not leak out, and will not affect the air conditioning system environment of the communication equipment.

[0076] It is understandable that the air conditioning device can be used alone or in parallel to increase the cooling capacity. The number and usage status of the air conditioning devices can be adjusted according to actual production conditions.

[0077] It should be noted that the main body 100 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure and a frame structure, and the length direction of the main body 100 is defined as the first direction, the width direction is the second direction, and the height direction is the third direction. The first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are mutually perpendicular. Among them, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction only represent spatial directions and have no substantial meaning.

[0078] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the main body 100 includes a main frame 1, a first side frame 2 and a second side frame 3, a refrigeration mechanism 400 is arranged in the main frame 1, the first side frame 2 is arranged on one side of the main frame 1, the return air duct 200 is arranged between the first side frame 2 and the main frame 1, the second side frame 3 is arranged on the other side of the main frame 1, and the supply air duct 300 is arranged between the second side frame 3 and the main frame 1.

[0079] It can be understood that the air conditioning device is a combined air conditioning device, the air conditioning device is an indoor model, and is composed of three parts. The first part is the main frame 1, the second part is the first side frame 2, and the third part is the second side frame 3.

[0080] The refrigeration mechanism 400 is arranged in the main frame 1, and the main frame 1 provides a storage space for the refrigeration mechanism 400. The first side frame 2 is arranged on one side of the main frame 1, that is, the first side frame 2 is arranged on the rear side of the main frame 1, and a return air channel 200 is arranged between the first side frame 2 and the main frame 1 along the first direction, so as to realize the function of returning air at the rear side of the main frame 1. The second side frame 3 is arranged on the other side of the main frame 1, that is, the second side frame 3 is arranged on the front side of the main frame 1, and an air supply channel 300 is arranged between the second side frame 3 and the main frame 1 along the first direction, so as to realize the function of supplying air at the front side of the main frame 1. With this arrangement, the return air channel 200 and the air supply channel 300 are relatively independent, and the cold air flowing out of the air supply channel 300 will not be directly mixed with the indoor hot air. Under the joint action of the return air channel 200 and the air supply channel 300, the effective isolation of the cold and hot air flows is realized, and it is ensured that the cold air returns to the air conditioning device only after sufficient heat exchange, thereby reducing the loss of the air conditioning device itself and improving the energy utilization rate of the air conditioning device.

[0081] In one embodiment, a return air port 201 is provided on one side of the return air channel 200 away from the refrigeration mechanism 400, and heat can continuously enter the return air channel 200 through the return air port 201. There are two return air ports 201, which are respectively provided on both sides of the first side frame 2 along the second direction, so as to achieve the effect of air intake on both sides of the return air channel 200.

[0082] It is understandable that the main body 100 also includes a return air baffle 8, which is detachably connected to the first side frame 2 and can be sealed at the return air outlet 201. The return air baffle 8 can be installed and removed according to actual usage. There are two return air baffles 8, and two return air baffles 8 correspond to two return air outlets 201. The return air outlet 201 can have a variety of shapes, and a suitable return air outlet 201 can be selected according to needs. The return air baffle 8 can be a variety of shapes such as rectangular, diamond and circular to meet the air supply requirements of different communication equipment.

[0083] In one embodiment, an air supply port 301 is provided on one side of the air supply channel 300 away from the refrigeration mechanism 400, and the cold air in the air supply channel 300 can be continuously output through the air supply port 301. There are two air supply ports 301, which are respectively provided on both sides of the second side frame 3 along the second direction, so as to achieve the effect of air intake on both sides of the air supply channel 300.

[0084] It is understandable that the main body 100 further includes an air supply baffle 9, which is detachably connected to the second side frame 3 and can be sealed at the air supply port 301. The air supply baffle 9 can be installed and removed according to actual usage. There are two air supply baffles 9, and two air supply baffles 9 correspond to two air supply ports 301. The air supply port 301 can have a variety of shapes, and a suitable air supply port 301 can be selected according to needs. The air supply baffle 9 can have a variety of shapes such as rectangle, diamond and circle to meet the air supply requirements of different communication equipment.

[0085] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the main body 100 further includes a first partition 4 and a second partition 5. The first partition 4 is at least partially disposed in the first side frame 2, and the first partition 4 divides the inner cavity of the first side frame 2 into a first sub-cavity 21 and a first cavity 22. The second partition 5 is at least partially disposed in the second side frame 3, and the second partition 5 divides the inner cavity of the second side frame 3 into a second sub-cavity 31 and a second cavity 32. Among them, the main frame 1 is provided with a first main cavity 11 and a second main cavity 12 that are interconnected. The first sub-cavity 21 is connected to the first main cavity 11 to form a return air channel 200, and the second main cavity 12 is connected to the second cavity 32 to form an air supply channel 300.

[0086] The inner cavity of the main frame 1 is respectively connected to each other in the third direction, and is at least partially arranged in the first side frame 2 through the first partition 4. The first partition 4 divides the inner cavity of the first side frame 2 into two parts, the first sub-cavity 21 located in the upper half and the first cavity 22 located in the lower half, along the third direction. The first sub-cavity 21 and the first main cavity 11 correspond to and are connected to each other to form a return air channel 200, so as to transport the heat generated by the communication equipment to the first main cavity 11 of the main frame 1 through the return air channel 200. Since the first main cavity 11 and the second main cavity 12 are connected to each other, the heat can enter the second main cavity 12, and the refrigeration mechanism 400 is arranged in the second main cavity 12 to complete the refrigeration process in the second main cavity 12. The second partition plate 5 is at least partially arranged in the second side frame 3, and the second partition plate 5 divides the inner cavity of the second side frame 3 into two parts along the third direction, a second sub-cavity 31 located in the upper half and a second cavity 32 located in the lower half. The second main cavity 12 corresponds to the second cavity 32 and is interconnected to form an air supply channel 300, so that the cold air generated in the second main cavity 12 is transported out through the second cavity 32.

[0087] In one embodiment, the first partition 4 is detachably connected to the first side frame 2. In other words, the first partition 4 and the first side frame 2 are not fixed. When the first partition 4 is damaged or in different working conditions, the first partition 4 can be replaced in time to reduce maintenance costs.

[0088] In one embodiment, the second partition plate 5 is detachably connected to the second side frame 3. In other words, the second partition plate 5 and the second side frame 3 are not fixed, and when the second partition plate 5 is damaged or in different working states, the second partition plate 5 can be replaced in time to reduce maintenance costs.

[0089] In one embodiment, when the air conditioning device is in normal mode, the first partition 4 is configured to be disposed in the first side frame 2, and the second partition 5 is configured to be disposed in the second side frame 3, for folding the first partition 4 and the second partition 5. When the air conditioning device is in failure mode, the side of the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 close to each other is configured to extend into the main frame 1 and dock with each other, for unfolding the first partition 4 and the second partition 5, so that the first sub-cavity 21, the first main cavity 11 and the second sub-cavity 31 form a first space, the first cavity 22, the second main cavity 12 and the second cavity 32 form a second space, and the first space and the second space are not connected to each other.

[0090] It can be understood that the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 can be removed or installed, and both the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 have two modes: folding and unfolding.

[0091] When the air conditioning device is in normal mode, the first partition 4 is in a folded state, and the first partition 4 is only arranged in the first side frame 2, which plays the role of separating the first side frame 2, so that only the first sub-cavity 21 of the upper half of the first side frame 2 is connected with the first main cavity 11 of the main frame 1, and the first cavity 22 is in an idle state; at the same time, the second partition 5 is in a folded state, and the second partition 5 is only arranged in the second side frame 3, which plays the role of separating the second side frame 3, so that the second main cavity 12 of the main frame 1 is only connected with the second main cavity 12 of the lower half of the second side frame 3, and the second sub-cavity 31 is in an idle state. In other words, for the entire main body 100, the upper space of the main body 100 is the return air channel 200, and the lower space of the main body 100 is the air supply channel 300, and the hot air flow and the cold air flow can be effectively isolated to avoid the mixing of the hot air flow and the cold air flow to affect the heat dissipation effect of the air conditioning device on the communication equipment.

[0092] When the air conditioning device is in the fault mode, the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 are in the unfolded state, and the first partition 4 is extended into the main frame 1, which is equivalent to the first partition 4 being arranged in the first side frame 2 and the main frame 1 at the same time. The second partition 5 is in the unfolded state, and the second partition 5 is extended into the main frame 1, which is equivalent to the second partition 5 being arranged in the second side frame 3 and the main frame 1 at the same time. By arranging the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 to extend into the main frame 1 on one side close to each other, the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 are butt-jointed to form a hot and cold channel partition, that is, the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 not only play the role of separating the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3, but also play the role of separating the main frame 1.

[0093] In other words, for the entire main body 100, the first sub-cavity 21, the first main cavity 11 and the second sub-cavity 31 located in the upper space of the main body 100 form a first space, and the first cavity 22, the second main cavity 12 and the second cavity 32 located in the lower space of the main body 100 form a second space. When at least two air-conditioning devices are installed in parallel, if one of the air-conditioning devices fails, the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 can be manually disassembled and then unfolded, which is equivalent to stretching the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 to form a hot and cold channel partition plate, so as to achieve the isolation of the hot and cold channels and avoid the situation where the faulty machine has cross-wind and causes a cold air short circuit.

[0094] It should be noted that if the air-conditioning device and other communication equipment are in series, when the air-conditioning device is in a fault mode, the first space provides a conveying channel for the circulation of hot air, and the second space provides a conveying channel for the circulation of cold air. At this time, the refrigeration mechanism 400 is not working and cannot realize the refrigeration function.

[0095] It is understandable that in some other embodiments, the hot and cold channel partitions can also be formed in other ways. For example, the first partition 4 has two sizes, one of which corresponds to the cross-section of the first side frame 2, and the other corresponds to the sum of the cross-sections of the first side frame 2 and the main frame 1, which is equivalent to the size of the first partition 4 can be enlarged, and the two sizes correspond to the normal mode and the failure mode respectively. The second partition 5 is similar, so it will not be described in detail. Alternatively, if the sum of the cross-sectional areas of the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 is equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the main frame 1, and the cross-sectional areas of the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 are the same, then the size of one of the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 is equal to three times the cross-sectional area of ​​the first side frame 2, corresponding to the failure mode.

[0096] In one embodiment, Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning device also includes a radiator 6, which is arranged in the main body 100, and the return air duct 200 and the refrigeration mechanism 400 are respectively arranged on both sides of the radiator 6. The radiator 6 is configured to dissipate the heat discharged from the return air duct 200 so that the heat after dissipation enters the refrigeration mechanism 400.

[0097] It can be understood that the radiator 6 is specifically arranged in the first main cavity 11 of the main body 100, and the refrigeration mechanism 400 is arranged in the second main cavity 12 of the main body 100. The return air channel 200 and the refrigeration mechanism 400 are respectively arranged on both sides of the radiator 6 to adapt to the return of hot air at the back and the delivery of cold air at the front. That is, the radiator 6 plays the role of receiving the hot air flow flowing out of the return air channel 200, and performs preliminary heat dissipation on the hot air flow, which plays a role of preliminary cooling. When the heat after heat dissipation enters the refrigeration mechanism 400, the refrigeration effect of the refrigeration mechanism 400 is guaranteed.

[0098] In one embodiment, the radiator 6 is tilted downward relative to the main body 100 toward the return air passage 200 .

[0099] It can be understood that the radiator 6 adopts a sloped heat exchanger. Since the air-conditioning device is arranged in the direction of the communication equipment, the radiator 6 is tilted downward relative to the main body 100 toward the return air channel 200, so that the radiator 6 adapts to the rear return air channel 200, increases the windward area of ​​the radiator 6, and maximizes the heat exchange area, thereby ensuring a good heat dissipation effect.

[0100] It should be particularly noted that the number of radiators 6 is adjusted accordingly according to the number of return air outlets 201 in the return air duct 200. If the number of return air outlets 201 is one, then one radiator 6 is tilted downward toward one side of the return air outlet 201; if the number of return air outlets 201 is two, the two return air outlets 201 correspond to two radiators 6, and the two radiators 6 are tilted downward in an inverted V shape from the middle toward the two return air outlets 201.

[0101] In one embodiment, the refrigeration mechanism 400 includes a centrifugal fan 401 and a refrigeration structure 402. The heat dissipated by the radiator 6 is centrifuged by the centrifugal fan 401 and then enters the refrigeration mechanism 400 for refrigeration. The refrigeration structure 402 includes at least one of a compressor and a fluorine pump.

[0102] It is understandable that the refrigeration structure 402 includes a compressor type, a fluorine pump type, a compressor and fluorine pump hybrid type or a gravity heat pipe type. The compressor type indoor unit can be used with a commonly used air-cooled radiator, and the fluorine pump type air conditioner or the gravity heat pipe type can use the chilled water of the central air conditioner and send low-temperature fluorine liquid to refrigerate after heat exchange with hot fluorine through a plate-type heat exchanger. The compressor and fluorine pump hybrid type can make full use of natural cold sources.

[0103] It should be noted that if Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner is a combined air conditioner, the main frame 1 has a length, width and height of 600mm×700mm×2200mm, the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 have a variety of lengths (thicknesses), for example, 150mm, 200mm, 250mm and 350mm, etc., which can also be determined according to actual conditions. The first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 can be spliced ​​with the main frame 1 to form a variety of air conditioner sizes such as 1000mm, 1100mm, 1200mm and 1400mm to adapt to communication equipment of different sizes. The height of the air conditioner is generally 2200mm, which can also be determined according to the actual height of the communication equipment.

[0104] This embodiment also provides an air conditioning system for communication equipment, which includes a cabinet, communication equipment and the above-mentioned air conditioning device for communication equipment. The communication equipment is arranged in the cabinet, and the air conditioning device is arranged in the cabinet. The air conditioning device and the communication equipment are arranged in parallel and adjacent to each other.

[0105] In the air conditioning system for communication equipment provided in this embodiment, the air conditioning device is arranged in parallel and adjacent to the communication equipment, which is equivalent to the air conditioning device being arranged on one side of the communication equipment and arranged in parallel with the communication equipment, so that the air conditioning device can form a whole with the communication equipment to be cooled in conjunction with the relevant air duct components. The air conditioning device can effectively and efficiently solve the heat dissipation problem of router-type communication equipment according to the structural characteristics of router-type communication equipment.

[0106] By arranging the return air channel 200 in the main body 100 of the air conditioning device, the return air channel 200 absorbs the heat generated by the communication equipment to realize the recovery of the hot air flow, and by arranging the refrigeration mechanism 400 in the main body 100 and connected to the return air channel 200, the refrigeration mechanism 400 can refrigerate the heat to form cold air to realize the refrigeration process, and by arranging the air supply channel 300 in the main body 100 and connected to the end of the refrigeration mechanism 400 away from the return air channel 200, the air supply channel 300 can transport cold air to realize the air supply process of the cold air flow. The return air channel 200 and the air supply channel 300 are arranged at intervals, and the return air channel 200 and the air supply channel 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the refrigeration mechanism 400 to complete the cold air flow supply in the main body 100, and the hot and cold air flows are completely separated and do not leak, and will not affect the environment of the air conditioning system for the communication equipment.

[0107] In one embodiment, there are multiple air conditioning devices, and the multiple air conditioning devices are respectively arranged on both sides of the communication device.

[0108] Of course, it is understandable that the air-conditioning device can be installed on the left or right side of the communication equipment, and cooperate with relevant ventilation components to form a cabinet-level refrigeration unit to complete the cold air flow supply and hot air flow recovery in the cabinet. The cold and hot air flows will not spread outside the cabinet and will not affect the air-conditioning system environment of the communication equipment.

[0109] It is understandable that the air conditioning device can be used in parallel to increase the cooling capacity or to provide cooling backup. When more than two air conditioning devices are installed in parallel, if one of the air conditioning devices fails, manual intervention can be performed to unfold and stretch the first partition 4 and the second partition 5 to avoid air flow short circuit caused by the failure of the device. The air conditioning device is specifically a combined air conditioning device, which is particularly suitable for cooling router-type communication equipment in a communication machine building, realizing the function of cold air in front and hot air out behind. At least two air conditioning devices work at the same time, and one main and one backup air conditioner ensures cooling safety.

[0110] It should be noted that the air conditioning device can have multiple application solutions, and can be used for cooling communication equipment in the air conditioning system of newly built communication equipment, and can also be flexibly modified for the air conditioning system of old communication equipment, and can adapt to various types of single-sided cooling communication equipment.

[0111] It should be noted that the air conditioning device can be used with related brush-type sealing devices to seal the incoming and outgoing cables to prevent the leakage of hot air. This improves the cooling efficiency. With the variable frequency compressor and fluorine pump, the PUE can reach 1.15-1.2.

[0112] In one embodiment, a control display 7 (such as Figure 2 As shown), the control display 7 is electrically connected to the radiator 6 and the refrigeration mechanism 400 to control and display the radiator 6 and the refrigeration mechanism 400.

[0113] It should be noted that the air conditioning system for communication equipment can realize the group control function of multiple air conditioning devices, ensuring that the fan speed, wind pressure and compressor working conditions of each air conditioning device are basically the same. When an air conditioning device fails, it can be protected in real time and an alarm can be prompted on the control display 7 to inform the fault condition. The air conditioning system for communication equipment can also realize remote monitoring and reporting functions.

[0114] Embodiment 2

[0115] This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, and the only difference is that the positions and arrangements of the air supply and return ports 201 are different.

[0116] like Figure 6 As shown, the main body 100 provided in this embodiment includes two oppositely arranged side panels 10, and the return air duct 200 and the supply air duct 300 are arranged between the two side panels 10; wherein, the side panel 10 is provided with a supply air port 301 and a return air port 201 corresponding to the supply air port 301, and the return air port 201 corresponding to the supply air port 301 is arranged at intervals along the diagonal of the side panel 10.

[0117] It can be understood that the air supply port 301 and the return air port 201 are respectively located at two corners along the diagonal line of the side panel 10. When the communication equipment is arranged on one side of the side panel 10 of the air conditioning device, the cold air flows out from the air supply port 301, passes through the communication equipment, and then flows into the main body 100 from the return air port 201. Since the air supply port 301 and the return air port 201 are arranged at intervals along the diagonal line of the side panel 10, the distance between the air supply port 301 and the return air port 201 is the longest, so that the path for the cold air to return from the air supply port 301 to the return air port 201 is also the longest, which increases the contact time between the cold air and the communication equipment and improves the cooling effect.

[0118] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the number of air supply ports 301 and return air ports 201 located on the same side panel 10, and can be adjusted according to actual production needs. The number of air supply ports 301 and return air ports 201 can be one or more. The return air baffle 8 can be selectively blocked at the return air port 201, and the air supply baffle 9 can be selectively blocked at the air supply port 301.

[0119] Specifically, when the number of air supply outlets 301 and return air outlets 201 is one, that is, the air supply outlets 301 and the return air outlets 201 are single; when the number of air supply outlets 301 and the return air outlets 201 is multiple, all the return air baffles 8 and the supply air baffles 9 can be removed to make all the air supply outlets 301 and the return air outlets 201 in an open state, and according to actual needs, some return air baffles 8 and supply air baffles 9 can be installed to block some of the air supply outlets 301 and the return air outlets 201, so as to adapt to different communication equipment sizes and heat dissipation requirements.

[0120] Embodiment 3

[0121] This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, and the only difference is that the positions and arrangements of the air supply and return ports 201 are different.

[0122] like Figure 7 As shown, the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 provided in this embodiment are respectively detachably connected to the two sides of the main frame 1 along the first direction; the two return air outlets 201 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first side frame 2 along the second direction, and the two supply air outlets 301 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the first side frame 2 along the second direction; the two return air outlets 201 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the second side frame 3 along the second direction, and the two supply air outlets 301 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the second side frame 3 along the second direction.

[0123] It can be understood that the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 are equivalent to being spliced ​​on both sides of the main frame 1 along the first direction. Under the joint action of the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3, the air-conditioning device for communication equipment has four air supply outlets 301 and four return air outlets 201 at the same time, thereby increasing the return air efficiency and the air supply efficiency.

[0124] In one implementation, there is at least one first side frame 2, and the length of the first side frame 2 along the first direction is adjustable; there is at least one second side frame 3, and the length of the second side frame 3 along the first direction is adjustable.

[0125] Specifically, the dimensions of the first side frame 2 along the first direction are different, and the dimensions of the second side frame 3 along the first direction are different. Since the first side frame 2 is spliced ​​to one side of the main frame 1 along the first direction, and the second side frame 3 is spliced ​​to the other side of the main frame 1 along the first direction, the dimensions of the first side frame 2, the second side frame 3 and the main frame 1 along the first direction after splicing are different. In this way, by assembling first side air cabinets and / or second side air cabinets of different sizes, the air-conditioning equipment can have different sizes in the first direction to adapt to communication equipment of different thicknesses.

[0126] Embodiment 4

[0127] This embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, and the only difference is that the first side frame 2 and the second side beam are different in form.

[0128] like Figure 8 As shown, the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 provided in this embodiment are slidably connected to the two sides of the main frame 1 along the first direction.

[0129] By sliding the first side frame 2 and the second side frame 3 relative to the main frame 1, the distance between the two air supply ports 301 and the distance between the two air return ports 201 can be adjusted. In other words, the overall length dimension of the air conditioner for communication equipment in the first direction is adjustable so that the air conditioner can be adapted to communication equipment of different thicknesses.

[0130] It should be understood that the present invention is not limited in its application to the detailed structure and arrangement of the components proposed in this specification. The present invention can have other embodiments and can be implemented and executed in a variety of ways. The aforementioned variations and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention.
