DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] See also Figures 1 to 8 , the present invention provides a technical solution: Embodiment 1: An intelligent system for realizing energy conservation in a data center by utilizing a natural cooling source, comprising an equipment housing 2 and a water storage platform 1, wherein a data center component 11 is arranged in the equipment housing 2, and flow guide boxes 6 are respectively arranged at both ends of the outer side of the equipment housing 2, and an energy storage device is arranged in the equipment housing 2, wherein the energy storage device comprises an energy storage device 12 for storing electric energy and a power generation component 5 for energy conversion, the equipment housing 2 is immersed in a liquid natural cooling source, and an annular groove component for cooling is reserved between the equipment housing 2 and the data center component 11, and the liquid natural cooling source is filled in the annular groove component.

[0020] By filling the annular groove assembly with a liquid natural cooling source, sufficient cooling and heat dissipation of the device housing 2 can be achieved.

[0021] A water storage platform 1 located outside the liquid natural cooling source is provided at the upper end of the equipment casing 2, a drainage port 23 driven by water inlet to the power generation component 5 is provided on one side of the water storage platform 1, a water pumping fan blade 7 driven by the power storage device 12 is provided in the guide box 6, one end of the guide box 6 is connected to the annular groove assembly, and the other end of the guide box 6 is externally connected to the switching valve 18, and a pair of output ports of the switching valve 18 are respectively connected to the water storage platform 1 and the natural cooling source.

[0022] In order to solve the voltage stability problem during low-power operation, it is necessary to consume or store the excess electric energy, and use the power storage device 12 to temporarily store the electric energy.

[0023] For natural cold sources such as lakes, the water flow has a small amplitude, especially the underwater flow is slower, which causes the water temperature of the environment around the equipment housing 2 to rise quickly. This not only reduces the heat dissipation efficiency, but also damages the natural environment in the lake. Therefore, a pumping fan blade 7 is designed to continuously extract the water flow in the annular groove assembly by using the pumping fan blade 7, thereby accelerating the flow of water, improving the temperature diffusion efficiency, avoiding overheating at a single location, and achieving full utilization of energy.

[0024] Embodiment 2: On the basis of Embodiment 1, a pair of columns 14 are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of the water storage platform 1, the equipment housing 2 is arranged directly below the water storage platform 1, and a base 3 fixed to the lower end of the natural cold source is arranged at the lower end of the column 14. A bottom plate 4 is arranged at the lower end of the equipment housing 2, a pair of positioning holes 21 are arranged on the bottom plate 4, the bottom plate 4 is provided with the upper end surface of the base 3, the base 3 is provided with a positioning column 20 corresponding to the positioning hole 21, and the bottom plate 4 is provided with a vertical pole supporting the equipment housing 2.

[0025] By arranging the base 3 and the bottom plate 4 in coordination, the equipment housing 2 and the water storage platform 1 can be stably installed in a natural cold source environment.

[0026] A pair of output ports distributed up and down is provided on one side of the switching valve 18, and the pair of output ports distributed up and down are respectively connected to the drain pipe 19 and the return riser 17, the drain pipe 19 is connected to the natural cold source, and the return riser 17 extends upward and is connected to the water storage platform 1, and a control valve 15 is provided at the lower end of the drain port 23, and the lower end of the control valve 15 is connected to the downpipe 16, the power generation component 5 is a device for converting the kinetic energy of the falling water flow in the downpipe 16 into electrical energy, and the power storage device 12 is used to store the electrical energy generated by the power generation component 5, and a one-way drain valve for discharging the falling water flow in the downpipe 16 is provided on the power generation component 5.

[0027] During high-power operation, the pumping fan blades 7 cannot allocate enough power, so it is necessary to connect the guide box 6 to the drain pipe 19 to discharge the water flow after heat transfer and heat dissipation directly into the natural cooling source; For a data center operating at low power, the power allocated by the pumping fan blades 7 is increased. At this time, the guide box 6 is connected to the return riser 17, and the water flow is transported upward to the water storage platform 1 through the pumping fan blades 7. Since it is exposed outside the natural cold source, it can achieve rapid heat dissipation, improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the water flow, and convert part of the electrical energy into the gravitational potential energy of the water flow; When the data center is running at high power, the control valve 15 is used to make the water flow down the downpipe 16 into the power generation assembly 5, and the kinetic energy of the fall is converted into electrical energy to realize supplementary power supply to the data center.

[0028] Embodiment 3: On the basis of Embodiment 2, in order to improve the efficiency of heat dissipation and reduce the influence of underwater debris on the flow of water, the annular groove assembly includes a heat dissipation inner frame 13, and the heat dissipation inner frame 13 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the data center assembly 11, and the arc outer wall of the heat dissipation inner frame 13 is provided with diversion side plates 24 and guide side plates 33 that are spaced apart from each other and distributed in a circular array, and the gaps between the diversion side plates 24 and the guide side plates 33 that are spaced apart from each other are respectively set as water inlet grooves 9 and reflux grooves 34, and a water inlet 10 is provided on the side of the equipment housing 2 close to the power generation assembly 5, and a double-layer filter ring 22 is provided on the outer side of the water inlet 10, and the inner side of the water inlet 10 is connected to the water inlet groove 9 and the reflux groove 34.

[0029] The annular filter screen 22 is provided to filter the impurities in the water flow, thereby avoiding clogging of the water inlet groove 9 and the reflux groove 34 .

[0030] A baffle 30 is provided at one end of the water inlet trough 9 and the return trough 34 near the guide box 6, the baffle 30 blocks the ports of the water inlet trough 9 and the return trough 34, and the baffle 30 is provided with a plurality of suction holes 31 distributed in a circumferential array and corresponding to and connected with the water inlet trough 9 one by one, a plurality of ducts 8 distributed in a circumferential array and connected to the suction holes 31 are provided at one end of the equipment housing 2, the other end of the duct 8 is connected to the guide box 6, and a plurality of components of flow troughs 26 distributed at intervals are provided on the diversion side plate 24, the diversion trough 26 penetrates the diversion side plate 24 and is connected to the water inlet trough 9 and the return trough 34, and a diversion fan assembly is rotatably installed in the diversion trough 26.

[0031] Through the cooperation of the conduit 8 and the suction hole 31, the water inlet groove 9 is connected with the guide box 6, and the water flow of the water inlet groove 9 is pumped out by the pumping fan blade 7 to speed up the flow rate of the internal water flow and improve the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0032] The diverter fan assembly includes diverter blades 28, sleeves 27 and a rotating rod 25. The lower end of the diverter slot 26 is provided with a mounting hole 32.

The arc outer wall fan of the sleeve 27 is provided with multiple groups of diverter blades 28 distributed in a circular array. The diverter blades 28 extend into the water inlet slot 9 and the return slot 34. The inner wall of the guide box 6 on the side close to the switching valve 18 is conical, and the inner diameter gradually decreases. The conduit 8 is directly opposite to the pumping blades 7.

[0033] By setting up a diverter fan assembly, the unidirectional water flow in the water inlet trough 9 impacts the diverter blades 28. Under the rotation of the diverter blades 28, part of the water flow in the water inlet trough 9 is driven to flow to the reflux trough 34, and the water flow in the reflux trough 34 is reversed and flows out along the water inlet 10, so as to reversely impact the annular filter 22. While reducing the water suction force of the water inlet 10, the reverse impact on the annular filter 22 is achieved, thereby preventing impurities from clogging the annular filter 22.
