[0002] In the related art, in the hot summer weather conditions, the air-cooled island unit has poor cooling effect by using direct-blowing cooling equipment because the ambient temperature of the unit is high.

[0031] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the air-cooled island spray cooling system of the embodiment of the present invention includes: a cooling component 1, a water storage component 2, a blocking component 3 and a collecting component 4.

[0033] The cooling assembly 1 includes a first cooling member 11, which is placed below the air-cooling island 100 and is used to spray coolant toward the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100. The water storage member 2 is connected to the first cooling member 11 and is used to provide coolant to the first cooling member 11. The blocking member 3 is connected to the air-cooling island 100 and is located above the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100 to cover the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100. The collecting member 4 is connected to the air-cooling island 100 and is located below the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100 to collect the coolant flowing out of the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100. The collecting member 4 is connected to the water storage member 2 so that the water storage member 2 recovers the coolant collected by the collecting member 4.

[0034] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heat sink 200 of the air cooling island 100 is composed of a plurality of heat sinks 200 arranged in sequence along the front-to-back direction. Figure 1 Taking the partial structure of the air-cooling island 100 shown in the figure as an example, there are two heat sinks 200, and the two heat sinks 200 are symmetrically arranged along the left-right direction, and the two heat sinks 200 are arranged inclined compared to the ground to reduce the occupied ground area and provide a good operating space for subsequent spray cooling.

[0035] It is understandable that if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the first cooling member 11 can extract the coolant stored in the water storage member 2 and spray it toward the radiator 200 of the air-cooled island 100, so as to realize the spray cooling of the radiator 200 of the air-cooled island 100. The spray liquid sprayed on the radiator 200 of the air-cooled island 100 can be collected by the collecting member 4, and the water storage member 2 is connected to the collecting member 4, so that the spray liquid collected by the collecting member 4 can be returned to the water storage member 2, so as to continue to spray the radiator 200 of the air-cooled island 100, thereby realizing the recycling of the spray liquid and reducing the waste of water resources.

[0036] In addition, the blocking member 3 is installed above the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100. When the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100 is spray-cooled by the first cooling member 11, the presence of the blocking member 3 can prevent the spray liquid from overflowing to the outside of the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100, and the spray liquid attached to the blocking member 3 can flow along the wall of the blocking member 3 to the collecting member 4 located below the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100, thereby completing the re-collection of the spray liquid and further reducing the loss of the spray liquid.

[0037] In some embodiments, the collecting member 4 includes a collecting section 41 and an avoidance section 42 connected in sequence, the avoidance section 42 is arranged obliquely, and the avoidance section 42 and the ground define an installation area, and at least a portion of the water storage member 2 is placed in the installation area.

[0038] In some embodiments, the water storage component 2 includes a water tank 21, a water pumping pipeline 22 and a water supply pipeline 23, the first end of the water pumping pipeline 22 is connected to the water tank 21, the second end of the water pumping pipeline 22 is connected to the collecting section 41, the first end of the water supply pipeline 23 is connected to the water tank 21, and the second end of the water supply pipeline 23 is connected to the cooling component 1.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the collection section 41 and the avoidance section 42 are connected to form a "J"-shaped structure to ensure that the avoidance section 42 and the ground can avoid the installation area, so that the water storage tank 21 can be placed in the installation area, reducing the extra space occupation and optimizing the space design. Water pumps are provided on the water collection pipeline and the water delivery pipeline 23 to realize the water delivery and pumping functions to the water storage tank 21.

[0040] In other words, the air-cooled island spray cooling system of the embodiment of the present invention can utilize the cooling component 1 to spray cool the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100, and the blocking member 3 is provided above the heat sink 200 of the air-cooled island 100 to reduce the evaporation loss of the coolant, improve the recovery efficiency of the coolant, and ensure the recycling and reuse of the coolant.

[0041] Therefore, the air-cooling island spray cooling system of the embodiment of the present invention has a simple structure and is convenient for modifying the existing air-cooling island 100.

[0042] Preferably, the first cooling member 11 includes a plurality of first cooling nozzles 111, and the plurality of first cooling nozzles 111 are arranged along the length direction of the air-cooling island 100 (eg Figure 1 The front and rear directions in the middle are arranged at intervals. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, multiple first nozzles are connected to the collecting member 4 through pipelines, and the multiple first cooling nozzles 111 are arranged at intervals so that the range of the spray liquid sprayed by the first cooling nozzles 111 can cover the heat sink 200 of the entire air-cooling island 100, thereby ensuring the spray cooling effect.

[0043] Optionally, the first cooling member 11 further includes a cooling driving member 112 , which is connected to the first cooling nozzle 111 to drive the first cooling nozzle 111 to rotate around a first axial direction, and the first axial direction is parallel to the length direction of the air-cooling island 100 .

[0044] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, multiple first cooling nozzles 111 are installed on a transmission rod, and the output shaft of the cooling drive member 112 is connected to the transmission rod, so that when the cooling drive member 112 is started, the output shaft rotates to drive the transmission rod to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the first cooling nozzle 111, wherein the circumferential direction of the transmission rod is the first axial direction.

[0045] It is understandable that the cooling drive member 112 can be a motor, such as a stepping motor that can achieve intermittent motion, etc. In other words, the cooling drive member 112 can drive the first cooling nozzle 111 to reciprocate, so that the spray liquid sprayed by the first cooling nozzle 111 can be sprayed reciprocatingly to improve the effect of spray cooling.

[0046] In some embodiments, a groove 31 is formed on one side of the blocking member 3 adjacent to the air-cooling island 100 , and an extension direction of the groove 31 is consistent with an extension direction of the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100 . There are multiple grooves 31 , and the multiple grooves 31 correspond one-to-one to the heat sinks 200 of the air-cooling island 100 .

[0047] Specifically, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a groove 31 is formed on the lower side wall of the blocking member 3 , and an extension direction of the groove 31 is consistent with an extension direction of the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100 , so that the spray liquid can flow along the groove 31 to the collecting member 4 located below the blocking member 3 .

[0048] It is understandable that if Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of grooves 31 are provided on the lower surface of the blocking member 3, so that a portion of the spray liquid sprayed by the first cooling member 11 can pass through the gaps between the heat sinks 200 of the air-cooling island 100 and be sprayed into the grooves 31, so that the spray liquid gathers in the grooves 31 and then flows to the collecting member 4. In addition, the spray liquid contacts the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100 for heat exchange, so that part of the spray liquid is vaporized, and the vaporized spray liquid contacts the blocking member 3 with the flow of air, and then the vaporized spray liquid can be cooled and liquefied, so as to further ensure the recycling and reuse of the spray liquid.

[0049] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, it can be understood that the lower wall surface of the blocking member 3 is provided with a plurality of grooves 31, so that the contact area between the spray liquid or the spray liquid gas and the blocking member 3 is increased, thereby improving the recovery effect of the spray liquid. Preferably, in a plane orthogonal to the extension direction of the groove 31, the cross-sectional profile of the groove 31 is an arc shape.

[0050] In some embodiments, the cooling assembly 1 further includes a second cooling member 12 , which is connected to the air-cooling island 100 , and is used to spray cooling liquid toward the blocking member 3 .

[0051] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water pumping pipeline 22 of the second cooling element 12 is connected to the water storage tank 21 so as to draw the spraying liquid from the water storage tank 21 and spray it into the groove 31 .

[0052] It can be understood that the blocking member 3 is arranged above the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100. While blocking the spray liquid and the vaporized gas of the spray liquid, the temperature of the blocking member 3 itself will gradually increase. Therefore, a second cooling member 12 is correspondingly arranged in the groove 31 of the blocking member 3 to facilitate the extraction of coolant to be sprayed in the groove 31, so that the temperature of the groove 31 and the blocking plate is maintained in an appropriate temperature zone, thereby improving the spray cooling effect.

[0053] Preferably, the second cooling member 12 is connected to the water storage member 2 so as to extract the cooling member in the water storage member 2. The second cooling member 12 includes a plurality of second cooling nozzles 121, and the plurality of second cooling nozzles 121 correspond to the plurality of grooves 31 one by one. Figure 3 As shown, a second cooling nozzle 121 is provided at the upper end of a groove 31, and the second cooling nozzle 121 can spray toward the wall surface of the groove 31, so that the spray liquid can flow along the extension direction of the groove 31, ensuring that the spray liquid is collected and reused as soon as possible.

[0054] In some embodiments, there are multiple water storage components 2, and the water storage components 2 have a water storage state and a drainage state. A portion of the multiple water storage components 2 is in the water storage state, and the multiple water storage components 2 are used to extract the cooling liquid in the collecting component 4; another portion of the multiple water storage components 2 is in the drainage state, and the multiple water storage components 2 are used to provide cooling liquid to the first cooling component 11 and the second cooling component 12.

[0055] It can be understood that, when in use, multiple water storage parts 2 can perform water storage work and drainage work respectively, that is, in the process of spray cooling, part of the first cooling part 11 and the second cooling part 12 can be used to extract a part of the spray liquid in the water storage part 2 for spray cooling (the water storage part 2 from which the spray liquid is extracted is in a drainage state), and the collected spray liquid will increase in temperature due to heat exchange with the heat sink 200 of the air-cooling island 100. Then, the increased spray liquid can be collected in other water storage parts 2 from which the spray liquid has not been extracted (the water storage parts 2 from which the spray liquid has not been extracted are in a water storage state), and the continuation of the spraying process can better ensure the temperature of the spray liquid and avoid direct recycling of the spray liquid after heat exchange.

[0056] On the contrary, when the spray liquid after heat exchange is cooled in the collecting part 4, the water storage part 2 in the drainage state is switched to the pumping state, thereby realizing the recycling and reuse of the spray liquid and avoiding the possibility that the spray liquid itself is too high in the spray cooling process and affects the spraying effect.
