[0049] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below based on specific embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a cold air rapid distribution mechanism for a server room air conditioner, the air conditioner comprises a housing 1, an upper cover plate 202 and a lower cover plate 201, the upper cover plate 202 is suitable for covering the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the lower cover plate 201 is suitable for covering the air inlet of the air conditioner;

[0052] A rapid distribution mechanism is provided at the air outlet of the air conditioner, and the rapid distribution mechanism includes a reinforcing component 4, and the reinforcing component 4 includes a closed cover 401, which is suitable for covering the air outlet of the air conditioner. A plurality of air outlet pipes 3 are connected to the closed cover 401, and the outlets of the air outlet pipes 3 face downward.

[0053] like Figure 2 As shown, the closed cover 401 is located inside the air conditioner, and is sealed between the closed cover 401 and the inner wall of the air outlet of the air conditioner. The closed cover 401 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 402 penetrating through the closed cover 401, and the air inlet holes 402 are arranged corresponding to the air outlet pipe 3.

[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet pipe includes an air inlet pipe 403, an air outlet pipe 404 and a regulating pipe;

[0055] The air inlet pipe 403 is suitable for docking with the air inlet hole 402 opened on the closed cover 401, the exhaust pipe 404 is fixedly connected to the top of the air inlet pipe 403, the regulating pipe is connected to the bottom of the air inlet pipe 403 through a rotating seal, and a vortex component is arranged inside the air inlet pipe 403. The vortex component is suitable for performing hot and cold diversion processing on the cold air entering the air inlet pipe, and the hot air is discharged to the outside through the exhaust pipe 404. The diverted cold air is further cooled and flows into the room through the regulating pipe.

[0056] like Figure 6-7 , Fig.13 As shown, the vortex assembly includes a vortex ring 406, the vortex ring 406 includes a vortex portion 407 and a cold air portion 408, a cone ring channel 405 is provided inside the exhaust pipe 404, the vortex portion 407 corresponds to the inside of the exhaust pipe 404, and the cold air portion 408 corresponds to the regulating pipe;

[0057] After the cold air hits the vortex ring 406, it enters the vortex part 407 tangentially. The vortex part 407 is suitable for converting the incoming cold air into a rotating vortex and entering the exhaust duct 404. The hot air generated by the vortex during the rotation flows out through the cone ring channel 405. After the hot air flows out, the cold air that is further cooled is blocked by the cone ring channel 405 and flows back, and flows from the regulating pipe to the room through the cold air part 408.

[0058] like Figure 6 As shown, the regulating pipe includes a horizontal regulating pipe 409 and a longitudinal regulating pipe 410. One end of the horizontal regulating pipe 409 is connected to the bottom of the air inlet pipe 403 through a rotating seal, and the other end of the horizontal regulating pipe 409 is connected to the longitudinal regulating pipe 410 through a rotating seal.

[0059] like Figure 8 As shown, a through slot 501 is provided at the outlet of the regulating pipe, and a diffusion assembly 5 is arranged inside the through slot 501. The diffusion assembly 5 includes two connecting plates 502 and a guide impeller 503. The two connecting plates 502 are connected to the end surface of the outlet end of the regulating pipe, and the guide impeller 503 is rotatably installed between the two connecting plates 502. The guide impeller 503 is suitable for rotating inside the through slot 501.

[0060] The guide impeller 503 is suitable for dividing the passing cold air into two parts, one part of the cold air flows along the outlet, and the other part of the cold air flows along the rotation direction of the guide impeller 503.

[0061] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0062] The main body of the air conditioner is split, with the air intake at the bottom and the air outlet at the top. Electrical equipment such as a compressor and a condenser are arranged inside the air conditioner. This part is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0063] In the cooling mode, the cold air of the air conditioner is discharged from the air outlet. In the conventional technology, the direction of the cold air discharge is controlled by the grille during the discharge process. In this embodiment, the grille is replaced by the reinforcing component 4. When the cold air is discharged, it will be enclosed inside the closed cover 401, and then flow to the inside of the air outlet pipe 3 through the air inlet hole 402 inside the closed cover 401. The air inlet hole 402 and the inner wall of the air outlet pipe 3 form a diameter separation effect. After the diameter separation treatment, the cold air flowing out of the air outlet pipe 3 has a faster flow rate and a smaller cross-section than the original gas. During the flow process, the cold air of the external environment is entrained and flows together, so that the cooling effect is better and a better cooling effect is produced. It should be noted that the air outlet pipe 3 does not include the exhaust pipe 404 at this time.

[0064] A vortex ring 406 can also be provided inside the air inlet pipe 403, and the exhaust pipe 404 is connected to the air outlet pipe 3 to form a vortex pipe as a whole. After the cold air enters the air inlet pipe 403 under the pressure treatment of the air inlet hole 402, it hits the vortex ring 406 and flows tangentially into the vortex part 407. The vortex ring 406 is divided into a vortex part 407 and a cold air part 408. The inside of the cold air part 408 is a conical surface with a diameter smaller than the air outlet pipe 3, and the diameter of the inlet of the exhaust pipe 404 connected to the vortex part 407 is the same as that of the air inlet pipe 403. The cold air is the same as the vortex ring 406, and the collision point between the cold air and the vortex ring 406 is not connected to the cold air portion 408. Therefore, when the cold air hits the vortex ring 406, it will first flow to the vortex portion 407 and then directly enter the exhaust pipe 404. The airflow passing through the vortex portion 407 will not enter the cold air portion 408 at the first time, because the cold air portion 408 has a conical hole with a smaller diameter, and the airflow needs a greater pressure to pass through this place, while the pressure entering the exhaust pipe 404 with the same inner diameter as the outlet pipe 403 is smaller, so the airflow will first enter the exhaust pipe 404;

[0065] When entering the exhaust duct 404, the gas passes through the vortex portion 407 and rotates, thereby generating a vortex. After entering the exhaust duct 404, the angular velocity of the airflow near the center is the largest, while the angular velocity of the airflow near the tube wall is relatively low. The vortices of the inner and outer circles will cause friction due to the different angular velocities. At the beginning, the high-speed rotating vortex of the inner circle will drive the vortex of the outer circle to rotate at a low speed under the action of its own power and friction. In this process, in order to maintain rotation, the inner circle vortex will continuously convert the internal energy of the gas into the required kinetic energy, causing the internal energy to continue to decrease, and the temperature of the inner circle vortex will continue to decrease accordingly, while the outer circle vortex can rotate continuously with the kinetic energy obtained from friction, and the temperature will increase during rotation. At this time, the inner circle in the exhaust duct 404 is a low-temperature vortex, and the outer circle is a vortex with a relatively high temperature. The two vortices will rush to the outlet of the cone ring channel 405 at the same time. At the cone ring channel 405, the hot air flow is on the outside, so it is easier to get out of the cone ring channel 405. The cold wind vortex will be blocked by the solid part of the cone ring channel 405 when it is dispersed from the cavity. The cold wind vortex that cannot be dispersed in time will gather more and more, and the pressure will increase. Finally, the cold wind vortex blocked by the solid part of the cone ring channel 405 will flow out from the cold wind part 408 in the opposite direction, enter the interior of the regulating tube and be discharged, thereby generating cold wind with a lower temperature to achieve rapid distribution and cooling of cold wind. It should be noted that the compression degree of the compressed cold wind pressurized by the closed cover 401 and the diameter division is not as high as the pressure generated by the compressor. Therefore, the temperature of the cold wind finally generated will not be too low to affect the operation of the equipment in the computer room. However, since the gas entering the vortex ring 406 itself is the cold wind processed by the air conditioner, it will not affect the normal use due to insufficient pressure. This part effectively copes with the special environment of the server room without the need for an external compressor through the combination of the vortex tube and the air conditioner, and has a faster cooling effect.

[0066] The regulating pipe part is divided into a horizontal regulating pipe 409 and a longitudinal regulating pipe 410, both of which are connected by a rotating seal, and the position of the regulating pipe outlet can be adjusted arbitrarily when needed;

[0067] A guide impeller 503 is provided at the outlet of the air outlet duct 3. The guide impeller 503 is slightly higher than the plane of the outlet to ensure that the cold air discharged from the lower part of the room will not be greatly affected. The main cold air will still blow to the lower space of the machine room through the outlet, but a small part of the cold air will drive the rotation of the guide impeller 503, and will be thrown to the upper space of the machine room by the rotation trajectory of the guide impeller 503. In this way, the cold air can also form a small rotating airflow after leaving the regulating pipe.

[0068] The air conditioner used for cooling in the server room can be set up to blow air downward, which has many advantages. The density of cold air is greater than that of hot air. Therefore, when the air conditioner blows cold air downward, the cold air will blow directly to the ground, helping to quickly reduce the temperature at the bottom of the room and directly protect the server and other equipment. The server will generate heat during operation. The cold air blowing directly downward can cover the lower part of the room faster, thereby achieving overall cooling more quickly and reducing the loss of cold air. Because the cold air will naturally settle and stay in the lower part of the room, it is not easy to be diluted by hot air, so it can achieve higher energy efficiency, easily form a uniform cooling effect in the room, reduce the uneven cold and hot phenomenon in local areas, and can better utilize the natural convection effect of rising hot air, which is conducive to the circulation and distribution of air in the room, thereby improving the overall cooling effect;

[0069] However, since directly discharging the cold air downwards will cause the cold air to be unable to diffuse upwards for a long time and is not conducive to overall cooling, a guide impeller 503 is provided. The rotating airflow generated by the guide impeller 503 will throw part of the cold air upwards, and in this process, it is promoted to quickly diffuse part of the cold air upwards, thereby achieving the effect of quickly distributing the cold air.

[0070] Embodiment 2

[0071] like Fig. 9 As shown, this embodiment further includes the following structure on the basis of the first embodiment: an adjustment component 6 is arranged between the closed cover 401 and the air outlet pipe 3, the adjustment component 6 includes a bidirectional screw 603 and a drive motor 602 suitable for driving the bidirectional screw 603 to rotate, the drive motor 602 is installed on the outside of the housing 1, and a protective cover 601 is connected to the housing 1, and the protective cover 601 covers the outside of the drive motor 602;

[0072] The two opposite threads on the bidirectional screw 603 are both equipped with rack plates 604 through ball nuts. The two rack plates 604 move toward each other when the bidirectional screw 603 is in motion. The outer circumferences of the plurality of horizontal adjustment tubes 409 are sleeved with adjustment gears 605. The rack plates 604 are adapted to mesh with the corresponding adjustment gears 605 in sequence when moving, thereby driving the corresponding horizontal adjustment tubes 409 to produce an angular deviation in the horizontal direction. When the two rack plates 604 are both moved to the maximum stroke, it is suitable for adjusting the angles of all the horizontal adjustment tubes 409, and the whole opens in a fan shape.

[0073] It should be noted that in this part, only the horizontal adjustment pipe 409 is used to adjust the angle, and the rest of the parts including the air inlet pipe 403 and the exhaust pipe 404 will not rotate. The air outlet of the exhaust pipe 404 is connected to the outside of the computer room and discharges relatively hot hot air. Since the cold air entering the air inlet pipe 403 has been pre-cooled by the air-conditioning cooling system, the hotter cold air generated after being processed by the vortex ring 406 is not hot. Therefore, it can be discharged to the top of the computer room without being discharged to the outside. The hotter cold air after discharge will slowly sink downward, and cooperate with the cold air discharged directly to the ground to accelerate the cooling efficiency and the area of ​​cold air distribution.

[0074] One end of the two rack plates 604 close to the closing cover 401 is connected to a limiting block 1, and a limiting groove 1 is provided on the closing cover 401, and the limiting block 1 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 1.

[0075] like Figure 10-12 As shown, the lower half of the housing 1 is provided with a suction device, which includes a fan 10 and two sets of rotatable suction blades 710. Two suction grooves are provided on the housing 1, and the suction blades 710 are rotatably installed in the suction grooves through the rotating shaft 709 respectively;

[0076] The horizontal adjustment tube 409 near the air suction groove is a blade swing adjustment tube, which is arranged corresponding to the corresponding air suction blade 710. The blade swing adjustment tube is connected to the corresponding air suction blade 710 through the swing transmission assembly 7 so that the corresponding air suction blade 710 can be driven to rotate and adjust through the swing transmission assembly 7 when the blade swing adjustment tube rotates. The swing transmission assembly 7 includes a connecting ring 701, which is respectively sleeved on the outer circumference of the corresponding blade swing adjustment tube. The bottom of the connecting ring 701 is connected to a driving bevel gear 702. A threaded rod 704 is rotatably installed inside the shell 1. The threaded rod 704 is arranged corresponding to the connecting ring 701. One end of the threaded rod 704 is connected to a driven bevel gear 703. The driven bevel gear 703 is meshed with the corresponding driving bevel gear 702. The outside of the threaded rod 704 is equipped with a transmission sleeve 705 through a ball nut. The bottom of the transmission sleeve 705 is connected to a limiting block 2. A limiting groove 2 is provided on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the limiting block is slidably connected to the inside of the limiting groove 2.

[0077] One end of the transmission sleeve 705 is connected to a fixed block 706, and the interior of the fixed block 706 is connected to a connecting column 707. A rotating arm 708 is fixedly sleeved on the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 709, and the other end of the rotating arm 708 is movably sleeved on the outside of the connecting column 707. The blade swing adjustment tube is suitable for rotating and driving the active bevel gear 702 and the driven bevel gear 703 to rotate to drive the transmission sleeve 705 to move. The transmission sleeve 705 is suitable for driving the corresponding suction blade 710 to adjust the angle by moving, and the suction blade 710 is suitable for avoiding premature suction of the cooling discharged by the horizontal adjustment pipe 409 by following the movement of the horizontal adjustment pipe 409.

[0078] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0079] When the air conditioner discharges cold air through the air outlet duct 3, blowing air to the same position for a long time is not conducive to cooling the entire space of the computer room. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously circulate the air outlet position of the air outlet duct 3 to ensure that the cold air in the entire computer room space can be quickly distributed.

[0080] In traditional technology, the direction of the cold air is changed by changing the position of the grille blades, but all the blades can only swing in the same direction, which causes a dead angle problem. When all the blades are turned to the left, no cold air will be directly discharged from the right side, which is not conducive to the overall cold air of the space, and the distribution of the cold air is not uniform.

[0081] Therefore, when it is necessary to control the cold air discharge position, the drive motor 602 is started, and the drive motor 602 drives the bidirectional screw 603 to rotate, thereby driving the rack plate 604 arranged outside thereof to move along the axial direction of the bidirectional screw 603. The two rack plates 604 move toward each other under the drive of the bidirectional screw 603, and the reciprocating motion of the rack plate 604 is achieved by controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the drive motor 602.

[0082] During the movement, the rack plate 604 will mesh with the adjusting gear 605 on the horizontal adjusting tube 409 of each air outlet duct 3 one by one, so that the horizontal angle of each horizontal adjusting tube 409 can be shifted one by one. Since the rack plate 604 moves axially along the bidirectional screw 603, the bidirectional screw 603 divides all the air outlet ducts 3 into two groups, and the number of air outlet ducts 3 owned each time is the same. In the process of each horizontal adjusting tube 409 shifting one by one, a fan-shaped opening and closing effect will be produced. This setting can ensure that each position in the computer room can be directly blown by cold air, ensure the rapid distribution of cold air while ensuring the uniform distribution of cold air, thereby improving the cooling effect in the computer room as a whole.

[0083] The process of air conditioning refrigeration requires the indoor unit to suck air to the outdoor unit for processing and then discharge the cold air from the indoor unit. This part is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. Therefore, the air suction link of the indoor unit is also very important.

[0084] Since the cold air blows directly downwards, and the air suction point is also located at the bottom, in order to prevent the discharged cold air from being sucked out before being fully mixed, which will affect the overall cooling effect, the air suction blades 710 and the air suction port are arranged on both sides of the bottom of the air conditioner to avoid direct contact with the cold air just discharged. However, as the angle of the horizontal adjustment tube 409 deviates, the cold air will still be directly sucked in after being discharged. Therefore, the direction of the air suction blades 710 should also be adjusted as the horizontal adjustment tube 409 rotates;

[0085] Since the horizontal adjustment tube 409, that is, the blade swing adjustment tube, which is closest to the two air suction ports, has the largest adjustment angle, the two sets of air suction blades 710 only need to follow the corresponding two blade swing adjustment tubes for adjustment. When the blade swing adjustment tube rotates, it will drive the connecting ring 701 fixed on its outer circumference to rotate together, and when rotating, it will drive the active bevel gear 702 at the bottom to rotate and drive the driven bevel gear 703 to rotate. The driven bevel gear 703 drives the threaded rod 704 to rotate. At this time, the transmission sleeve 705 moves along the axial direction of the threaded rod 704 and drives the fixed The fixed block 706 moves synchronously. When the fixed block 706 moves, the internal connecting column 707 follows the movement. Since the connecting part between the rotating arm 708 and the connecting column 707 is movably arranged and the other end is fixed on the rotating shaft 709, when the connecting column 707 moves horizontally, the angle of the rotating shaft 709 will be offset, thereby realizing the angle adjustment of the suction blade 710. The synchronous adjustment of the suction blade 710 and the outermost horizontal adjustment tube 409 can prevent the exhausted cold air from being sucked away too quickly, further improving the cold air distribution and cooling effect.
