Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer room cooling, and in particular to a temperature control system for intelligent fresh air in computer rooms. Background Technology

[0002] A fresh air system is an independent air handling system consisting of a supply air system and an exhaust air system. It can regulate the indoor ambient temperature and consumes relatively little power, making it widely used in computer rooms. In related technologies, a fresh air system includes an air intake device and an exhaust device. The exhaust device consists of exhaust ducts installed on one side of the computer room, while the air intake device consists of air inlets installed on the other side. The exhaust ducts expel hot air from the computer room to the outside, while cool outdoor air enters the computer room through the air inlets, thus achieving temperature control within the computer room.

[0003] Due to the complexity of the equipment in the computer room, and the fact that air exchange between the computer room and the outside air is only through air inlets and exhaust ducts, the airflow is obstructed by the equipment, making it difficult for cold and hot air to be evenly distributed throughout the computer room. This can easily lead to localized overheating. Current temperature detection methods typically involve placing thermometers at different locations within the computer room. However, because these thermometers are fixed, they cannot detect the conditions in every corner of the room, resulting in inaccurate temperature measurements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To improve the accuracy of temperature detection and alleviate localized high temperatures in the computer room, this application provides a temperature control system for intelligent fresh air in the computer room.

[0005] The temperature control system for intelligent fresh air in a computer room provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A temperature control system for intelligent fresh air in a computer room includes a temperature sensor, a track, a first moving device, a second moving device, and a cooling device. The cooling device includes a fan and a fan movement drive. The track is located on the inner wall of the computer room.

[0007] The first moving device includes a moving plate and a driving structure. The driving structure is mounted on a track to drive the moving plate to move along the track. The temperature sensor is mounted on a second moving device. The fan moving drive is used to drive the fan to move synchronously with the temperature sensor. The second moving device is mounted on the moving plate to drive the temperature sensor away from or closer to the track.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the moving plate moves along the track under the drive of the drive structure, driving the second moving device to move as well. Simultaneously, the second moving device changes the distance between the temperature sensor and the track, allowing the temperature sensor to move within the computer room under the combined action of the first and second moving devices. This enables temperature measurement at different locations within the computer room using only one temperature sensor. When a high temperature is detected, the temperature sensor stops moving, and a cooling device then cools the affected area to alleviate localized overheating within the computer room. Because the temperature sensor can move freely, it can detect the temperature in every corner of the room, improving the accuracy of temperature measurement.

[0009] Since the temperature sensor and track are installed on the side wall of the computer room, it saves floor space in the computer room, reduces the impact on people, and facilitates the detection of temperature at higher levels of the computer room, which is convenient and quick.

[0010] Optionally, the drive structure includes a connecting rod, a movable wheel, and a first motor. The connecting rod is hinged to the movable plate, and the movable wheel is mounted on the connecting rod. Each connecting rod has a movable wheel at both ends, and the peripheral wall of the movable wheel is in rolling connection with the track.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the first motor drives the moving wheel to rotate, enabling the moving wheel to roll along the track and drive the connecting rod to move on the track. The connecting rod is hinged to the moving plate, which facilitates the smooth passage of the connecting rod through the track at turning points, so that the moving plate can move on the track with the connecting rod.

[0012] Optionally, the track is an S-shaped track, and the second moving device includes a cylinder, with the temperature sensor mounted on the cylinder.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the extension and retraction of the cylinder can move the temperature sensor away from or closer to the track, thereby facilitating the temperature sensor to monitor the temperature in more locations within the computer room.

[0014] Optionally, the top of the machine room is provided with a first slide rail, which is parallel to the side wall of the machine room with the track; a telescopic rod is slidably connected inside the first slide rail, and the end of the telescopic rod away from the first slide rail is connected to a cylinder.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, as the moving plate moves on the track, the telescopic rod moves with the cylinder and slides within the first slide rail. If the cylinder or moving plate becomes loose during movement, leading to unstable installation, the telescopic rod's connecting action prevents the cylinder from falling directly to the ground and being damaged, thus protecting the cylinder and improving the safety of the equipment operation.

[0016] Optionally, the fan movement drive includes a fixed housing and a slide rod, the fixed housing is mounted on a telescopic rod, the slide rod is slidably connected inside the fixed housing, and the fan is mounted on the end of the slide rod away from the fixed housing; the fan movement drive also includes a sliding drive for driving the slide rod to slide.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the fan movement drive is always located above the temperature sensor during the temperature sensor's movement. When the temperature sensor stops due to detecting a high temperature, the sliding drive drives the slider to move, and the slider moves the fan directly above the temperature sensor. The fan blows air onto the area near the temperature sensor, increasing the airflow speed near the temperature sensor and accelerating the flow of cold air towards the temperature sensor, thereby achieving a cooling effect.

[0018] Optionally, the top of the computer room is also provided with a second slide rail parallel to the first slide rail, and a stabilizing rod is slidably connected inside the second slide rail, the stabilizing rod being connected to the fixed shell.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, as the telescopic rod moves within the first slide rail along with the cylinder, the stabilizing rod also moves along with the telescopic rod through the connecting action of the fixed shell, and the stabilizing rod can slide within the second slide rail. Since the fixed shell is connected to both the stabilizing rod and the telescopic rod, the movement of the fixed shell in the direction perpendicular to the track is restricted, thus improving the stability of the fixed shell during movement.

[0020] Optionally, the sliding drive includes a gear, which is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod. The slide rod has several toothed grooves distributed along its length, and the protruding teeth on the gear can be inserted into the toothed grooves.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the gear is driven to rotate, so that the protruding teeth on the gear are inserted into the tooth groove one by one, thereby driving the slide rod to move along its own length direction, so as to realize the sliding of the slide rod in the fixed shell.

[0022] Optionally, the end of the cylinder away from the moving plate is also provided with a nozzle.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, once the temperature sensor stops moving, the nozzle is opened to spray water mist into the surrounding air. On the one hand, the evaporation of water can lower the temperature near the temperature sensor; on the other hand, the water mist can cause dust floating in the air to settle to the ground, thus purifying the air.

[0024] Optionally, it also includes a ventilation window, on which a steering vane, a rotating shaft, and a rotation drive are installed. Multiple sets of rotating shafts are arranged to rotate within the ventilation window, and each rotating shaft is provided with a steering vane. The rotation drive is provided on the ventilation window to drive the rotating shaft to rotate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotary drive causes the rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the steering vane to rotate. As the steering vane rotates, the direction of air intake from the ventilation window into the computer room changes, allowing for targeted air intake to areas with localized high temperatures. In addition, driving the rotating shaft to rotate back and forth continuously changes the direction of air intake, making it easier to expand the air intake range of the ventilation window, thereby improving the cooling effect in the computer room.

[0026] Optionally, the rotation drive includes a drive gear, a driven gear, and a synchronization chain. Driven gears are installed on all the rotating shafts. The synchronization chain is wrapped around the outside of each driven gear. The drive gear is rotatably connected to the ventilation window. A transmission gear is provided on one of the rotating shafts. The drive gear meshes with the transmission gear.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the drive gear is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear to rotate. Subsequently, the driven gear, which is coaxial with the transmission gear, rotates. Through the transmission action of the synchronous chain, all the driven gears can rotate synchronously, thereby realizing that all rotating shafts and steering plates rotate synchronously, which is convenient for control.

[0028] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] 1. By moving the temperature sensor to different locations within the computer room, it is convenient to detect the temperature at various locations within the computer room. By using a cooling device to specifically cool down the areas with higher temperatures, the problem of excessively high local temperatures within the computer room can be alleviated.

[0030] 2. By connecting the fan movement drive and the cylinder through the telescopic rod, the fan movement drive can move with the cylinder and always be above the cylinder as the cylinder moves with the moving plate. When a high temperature is detected, it is only necessary to change the position of the fan along the extension and retraction direction of the cylinder, which simplifies the operation of the cooling device.

[0031] 3. By installing rotatable deflectors on the ventilation windows, the air intake direction of the ventilation windows can be adjusted to target and cool areas with higher temperatures. Under normal circumstances, the air intake direction changes continuously, which can effectively alleviate localized high temperatures in the computer room. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0039] The computer room contains multiple chassis 34, each of which is equipped with a ventilation duct 35. An air inlet is located on one side wall of the computer room, and an exhaust duct 36 is connected to the side wall opposite the air inlet.

[0040] This application discloses a temperature control system for intelligent fresh air in a computer room, referring to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a temperature sensor 1, a track 2, a first moving device, a second moving device 3, and a cooling device 4. The track 2 is an S-shaped track located on one side wall of the machine room. The first moving device includes a moving plate 5 and a drive structure 6. The drive structure 6 is mounted on the track 2 to drive the moving plate 5 to move along the track 2. The temperature sensor 1 is mounted on the second moving device 3. The cooling device 4 includes a fan 19 and a fan movement drive. The fan movement drive is used to drive the fan 19 to move synchronously with the temperature sensor 1. The second moving device 3 is mounted on the moving plate 5 to drive the temperature sensor 1 away from or towards the track 2.

[0041] The drive structure 6 moves the temperature sensor 1 continuously on the track 2. Simultaneously, the second moving device 3 moves the temperature sensor 1 in a direction perpendicular to the track 2, moving it closer to or further away from the track 2. This allows the temperature sensor 1 to detect the temperature at different locations within the computer room. Meanwhile, the fan drive moves the fan 19 along with the temperature sensor 1. When the temperature sensor 1 detects an excessively high temperature, both the drive structure 6 and the second moving device 3 stop operating, and the temperature sensor 1 remains in that position. Finally, the fan drive moves the fan 19 directly above the temperature sensor 1, cooling the air near the temperature sensor 1.

[0042] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive structure 6 includes connecting rods 7, movable wheels 8, and a first motor 9. Two connecting rods 7 are provided and hinged to both ends of the movable plate 5. Each connecting rod 7 has a movable wheel 8 mounted at both ends, and the peripheral wall of the movable wheel 8 is in rolling connection with the track 2. The first motor 9 is mounted on one of the connecting rods 7 and is drive-connected to one of the movable wheels 8 on the connecting rod 7. In this embodiment, the track 2 has a T-shaped cross-section, and the movable wheel 8 has an I-shaped cross-section, allowing the movable wheel 8 to fit precisely into the track 2.

[0043] The first motor 9 drives the moving wheel 8 to rotate, causing the moving wheel 8 to roll relative to the track 2, thereby enabling the moving plate 5 to move on the track 2, and simultaneously driving the other moving wheels 8 to roll on the track 2. When the track 2 bends, the connecting rod 7 rotates so that the moving wheel 8 can be tangent to the track 2, ensuring the smooth movement of the moving plate 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, the second moving device 3 includes a cylinder 10, which is horizontally arranged. The fixed end of the cylinder 10 is mounted on the moving plate 5, and the telescopic end is connected to the temperature sensor 1.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The top of the machine room is equipped with a first slide rail 11, which is parallel to the side wall of the machine room where the track 2 is located. A telescopic rod 12 is slidably connected inside the first slide rail 11. The telescopic rod 12 includes an outer cylinder 13 and an inner rod 14. The inner rod 14 is slidably connected inside the outer cylinder 13, and the end of the outer cylinder 13 is inserted into the first slide rail 11. A first baffle 15 is provided at the end of the outer cylinder 13 away from the first slide rail 11, and a through hole is opened on the first baffle 15 for the inner rod 14 to pass through. A second baffle 16 is installed at the end of the inner rod 14 near the first slide rail 11, and the other end of the inner rod 14 is connected to a cylinder 10.

[0046] When the cylinder 10 is unstable and falls, the inner rod 14 slides downward. When the first baffle 15 abuts against the second baffle 16, the second baffle 16 restricts the downward movement of the first baffle 15, thereby limiting the inner rod 14 to prevent it from detaching from the outer cylinder 13, thus preventing the cylinder 10 from falling directly to the ground and protecting the cylinder 10.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 The fan movement drive includes a fixed housing 17 and a slide rod 18. The fixed housing 17 is horizontally positioned and connected to the outer cylinder 13 of the telescopic rod 12. The slide rod 18 is slidably connected within the fixed housing 17, and the fan 19 is mounted on the end of the slide rod 18 away from the fixed housing 17. The fan movement drive also includes a sliding drive for driving the slide rod 18 to slide. The sliding drive includes a gear 20 and a second motor 21. The gear 20 is rotatably connected to the outer cylinder 13, and the second motor 21 is mounted on the outer cylinder 13 to drive the gear 20 to rotate. The slide rod 18 has several toothed grooves 22 distributed along the length of the slide rod 18, and the protruding teeth on the gear 20 can be inserted into the toothed grooves 22.

[0048] To improve the stability of the fixed housing 17, a second slide rail 23 parallel to the first slide rail 11 is provided on the top of the computer room. A stabilizing rod 24 is slidably connected inside the second slide rail 23, and the end of the stabilizing rod 24 is connected to the fixed housing 17.

[0049] As cylinder 10 moves along track 2 with moving plate 5, telescopic rod 12 and stabilizing rod 24 slide along first slide rail 11 and second slide rail 23 respectively, so that fan 19 is always above cylinder 10. When temperature sensor 1 stops moving, second motor 21 drives gear 20 to rotate, so as to drive slide rod 18 to slide in fixed housing 17, thereby moving fan 19 above temperature sensor 1.

[0050] To improve cooling efficiency, a connecting plate 25 is installed on the telescopic end of cylinder 10, temperature sensor 1 is installed on the connecting plate 25, and a nozzle 26 is also installed on the connecting plate 25, with a water source connected to the nozzle 26.

[0051] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 A ventilation window 27 is installed on the side wall of the computer room. A steering vane 28, a rotating shaft 29, and a rotation drive are installed on the ventilation window 27. Multiple sets of rotating shafts 29 are arranged within the ventilation window 27, and each rotating shaft 29 is equipped with a steering vane 28, with the steering vanes 28 parallel to each other. The rotation drive, located on the ventilation window 27, is used to drive the rotating shaft 29 to rotate.

[0052] The rotation drive includes a drive gear 30, a driven gear 31, a synchronous chain 32, and a third motor 33. Driven gears 31 are mounted on the lower ends of all rotating shafts 29, and the synchronous chain 32 is wound around the outside of each driven gear 31. The drive gear 30 is rotatably connected to the ventilation window 27. A transmission gear 37 is provided on one of the rotating shafts 29, and the drive gear 30 meshes with the transmission gear 37. The third motor 33 is mounted on the ventilation window 27 and is connected to the drive gear 30 for transmission.

[0053] The third motor 33 rotates forward and backward to drive the drive gear 30 to rotate back and forth. Through the transmission action of the synchronous chain 32, all driven gears 31 rotate synchronously and drive all steering vanes 28 to rotate back and forth, which facilitates the adjustment of the air intake direction. The steering vanes 28 can be stopped at a certain position to provide targeted air intake to a certain position, or the continuous rotation of the steering vanes 28 can provide air intake to different positions in the computer room, thereby reducing the situation of excessive local temperature in the computer room.

[0054] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The first motor 9 drives the moving wheel 8 to rotate, causing the moving plate 5 to move along the track 2. At the same time, the cylinder 10 starts, driving the temperature sensor 1 to continuously move away from or towards the track 2, thereby measuring the temperature at different locations in the machine room. When the temperature sensor 1 detects an excessively high temperature, the first motor 9 and the cylinder 10 stop operating, the temperature sensor 1 stops at one position, and the nozzle 26 sprays water near the temperature sensor 1. Subsequently, the second motor 21 is started, driving the slide bar 18 to slide, moving the fan 19 above the temperature sensor 1, and blowing air into the vicinity to accelerate the cooling speed.

[0055] Meanwhile, the deflection direction of the steering vane 28 can be changed by the third motor 33, so that the steering vane 28 is facing the temperature sensor 1, thereby adjusting the air intake direction to be near the temperature sensor 1, and further improving the cooling effect.

[0056] After the cooling process is completed, the moving plate 5 and the first cylinder 10 move together, the slide bar 18 moves back to its original position, and then the third motor 33 is started to continuously rotate forward and backward to drive the steering plate 28 to rotate back and forth, so as to introduce air into different positions in the machine room.

[0057] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
