Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cooling fans, and particularly to a modular cabinet cooling device. Background Art

[0002] The cooling fans of modular cabinets are key components to ensure the stable operation of equipment inside the cabinets. Especially in scenarios of high-density electronic equipment such as data centers, communication equipment, and industrial control systems, the heat dissipation performance directly affects the equipment life and reliability.

[0003] Functions of Cooling Fans

[0004] (1) Heat discharge: Through forced air convection, the heat generated by the equipment inside the cabinet (such as servers, switches, power modules, etc.) is quickly discharged.

[0005] (2) Temperature balance: Avoid local overheating and maintain a uniform temperature distribution inside the cabinet.

[0006] (3) Dust prevention and protection: Some cooling fan designs support dust filtration or waterproof functions and are suitable for harsh environments.

[0007] In the prior art, the cooling fans of modular cabinets are usually installed inside the cabinets. In some cabinets with large heat dissipation requirements, a large number of cooling fans usually need to be installed to ensure the heat dissipation effect. After long-term use of the cooling fans, dust will accumulate, so it is necessary to regularly clean the cooling fans. There are also problems with cooling fan failures, and subsequent disassembly and replacement of the cooling fans are required. However, in either of the above situations, the cabinet needs to be opened to take out the cooling fans from inside the cabinet. Due to the installation of various components inside the cabinet, some cooling fans are blocked by these components, and even some components need to be disassembled first before the cooling fans can be disassembled, which greatly affects the later maintenance efficiency of the cabinet. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular cabinet cooling device, which places the top surface of the cooling fan outside the cabinet and the bottom surface of the cooling fan inside the cabinet, so that the cooling fan can be directly taken out from the outside of the cabinet, facilitating the later removal of the cooling fan from the cabinet from the outside, and facilitating the later rapid cleaning, disassembly, and replacement of the cooling fan.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A modular cabinet cooling device includes a mounting wall fixedly connected to the cabinet. A plurality of cooling fan fixing boxes are evenly embedded in the mounting wall. The cooling fan fixing boxes are embedded in the mounting wall. The top of the cooling fan fixing box is open and located outside the mounting wall. The bottom of the cooling fan fixing box is open and located inside the mounting wall. The inner and outer side walls of the cooling fan fixing box are both open. A power socket is arranged inside the mounting wall and below the cooling fan fixing box.

[0010] It further includes a cooling fan. The cooling fan is inserted into the cooling fan fixing box, and a power plug that mates with the power socket is provided at the bottom of the cooling fan.

[0011] Preferably, side plates extending inwards are respectively provided on both sides of the mounting wall, and the mounting wall is fixedly connected to the cabinet through the side plates.

[0012] Preferably, adjacent two cooling fan fixing boxes are transitionally connected through a reinforcing rib plate.

[0013] Preferably, a cooling fan disassembly aid for quickly disassembling the cooling fan is further provided inside the mounting wall.

[0014] Preferably, the cooling fan disassembly aid includes a main frame rod slidably disposed between the two side plates. The sliding direction of the main frame rod is the same as the arrangement direction of the cooling fans in the vertical space. Jacks corresponding to the cooling fans are provided on the main frame rod, and an adjustment knob fixedly connected to the main frame rod is provided on the outer side of the side plate.

[0015] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on the side plates. Both ends of the main frame rod are respectively slidably disposed in the corresponding guide grooves. The main frame rod and the adjustment knob are transitionally connected through a shielding plate, and the shielding plate is located on the outer side of the side plate.

[0016] Preferably, an air filter is further provided on the outer side of the cooling fan fixing box.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0018] 1. In the present invention, the top surface of the cooling fan is placed outside the cabinet, and the bottom surface of the cooling fan is placed inside the cabinet. The cooling fan can be directly taken out from the outside of the cabinet, so as to facilitate taking out the cooling fan from the cabinet from the outside of the cabinet in the later stage, and facilitate quick dust cleaning and disassembly and replacement of the cooling fan in the later stage.

[0019] 2. In the present invention, by pulling the adjustment knob, the main frame rod and the jacks can be driven to move. When the main frame rod and the jacks move towards the cooling fan, the jacks contact the cooling fan and push the cooling fan out of the cooling fan fixing box, so that multiple cooling fans can be taken out at one time, facilitating quick dust cleaning of the cooling fan in the later stage.

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 14 shown, a modular cabinet heat dissipation device includes a mounting wall 21 fixedly connected to the cabinet 1. A plurality of heat dissipation fan fixing boxes 23 are evenly embedded in the mounting wall 21. The heat dissipation fan fixing boxes 23 are embedded in the mounting wall 21. The top of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is open and located outside the mounting wall 21 (the side opposite to the cabinet 1 and the mounting wall 21 is the outside), and the bottom of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is open and located inside the mounting wall 21 (the side opposite to the cabinet 1 and the mounting wall 21 is the outside). The inner and outer side walls of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 are both open for ventilation and exhaust; a power socket 25 is arranged inside the mounting wall 21 and below the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23.

[0040] It further includes a heat dissipation fan 3. The heat dissipation fan 3 is plugged into the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23, and a power plug 31 matched with the power socket 25 is arranged at the bottom of the heat dissipation fan 3.

[0041] It should be noted that the heat dissipation fan 3 in the present invention uses a common exhaust fan in the market. The power plug 31 of the heat dissipation fan 3 can be adaptively selected according to the power socket 25. The power plug 31 is fixed relative to the heat dissipation fan 3 to facilitate inserting the power plug 31 into the power socket 25.

[0042] Specifically in this embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, side plates 22 extending inward are respectively arranged on both sides of the mounting wall 21. The mounting wall 21 is fixedly connected to the cabinet 1 through the side plates 22. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the mounting wall 21 is equivalent to the side wall of the cabinet 1, and the mounting wall 21 is directly connected to the frame of the cabinet 1.

[0043] As Figures 9 to 12 shown, a plurality of the heat dissipation fan fixing boxes 23 are evenly arranged in a rectangular array, and the visual effect of the arrangement is close to the unfolded structure shape of a louver; the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is adaptively designed according to the specific shape of the heat dissipation fan 3, generally having a cuboid structure. The heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is inclined in the vertical plane to ensure that the open top of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is located outside the mounting wall 21 and the open bottom of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is located inside the mounting wall 21.

[0044] Furthermore, adjacent two of the heat dissipation fan fixing boxes 23 are transitionally connected through a reinforcing rib plate 24. The reinforcing rib plate 24 is simultaneously in contact with and connected to the mounting wall 21, and can be fixedly connected by welding to enhance the connection strength between the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 and the mounting wall 21.

[0045] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the top of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is completely open, ensuring that the heat dissipation fan 3 can be easily and smoothly inserted into the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23; the bottom of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 is partially open, and the open part is mainly used to reserve enough space for installing a power socket 25 to facilitate the connection of the power plug 31. At the same time, the unopened part at the bottom of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23 can form a base for supporting the heat dissipation fan 3, ensuring that the heat dissipation fan 3 can be stably inserted inside the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23.

[0046] Furthermore, a heat dissipation fan disassembly assistor 26 for quickly disassembling the heat dissipation fan 3 is also provided inside the mounting wall 21.

[0047] As a specific implementation manner, the heat dissipation fan disassembly assistor 26 includes a main frame rod 261 slidably disposed between the two side plates 22. The sliding direction of the main frame rod 261 is the same as the arrangement direction of the heat dissipation fan 3 in the vertical space; a top rod 262 corresponding to the heat dissipation fan 3 is provided on the main frame rod 261, and an adjustment knob 263 fixedly connected to the main frame rod 261 is provided on the outer side of the side plate 22. By pulling the adjustment knob 263, the main frame rod 261 and the top rod 262 can be driven to move. When the main frame rod 261 and the top rod 262 move towards the heat dissipation fan 3, the top rod 262 contacts the heat dissipation fan 3 and pushes the heat dissipation fan 3 out of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23, so that multiple heat dissipation fans 3 can be taken out at one time to facilitate the later rapid dust cleaning of the heat dissipation fans 3. Of course, when a single heat dissipation fan 3 fails, the corresponding single heat dissipation fan 3 can also be directly taken out for repair or replacement with a new heat dissipation fan by moving the heat dissipation fan 3 upward through the air duct at the front side of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23.

[0048] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the main frame rod 261 is at the lowest horizontal position, the top rod 262 is close to the bottom surface of the heat dissipation fan 3, and the top end of the top rod 262 contacts the heat dissipation fan 3 through the open end at the bottom of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23. The sliding direction of the main frame rod 261 is the same as the arrangement direction of the heat dissipation fan 3 in the vertical space, aiming to ensure that the direction of movement of the top rod 262 is the same as the direction of insertion of the heat dissipation fan 3, so as to ensure that the top rod 262 can smoothly push the heat dissipation fan 3 out of the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23. Of course, the maximum movable distance of the top rod 262 is less than the height of the heat dissipation fan 3 to ensure that the heat dissipation fan 3 will not be completely pushed out and cause it to fall.

[0049] Specifically, a guiding groove 221 is provided on the side plate 22. Two ends of the main frame rod 261 are respectively and slidably arranged in corresponding guiding grooves 221. A baffle plate 264 is used for transition connection between the main frame rod 261 and the adjusting knob 263. The baffle plate 264 is located outside the side plate 22, and the baffle plate 264 forms an occlusion for the guiding groove 221 to prevent impurities and dust in the air from flowing into the cabinet 1 through the guiding groove 221.

[0050] In this embodiment, an air filter screen (not shown in the figure) is further provided outside the heat dissipation fan fixing box 23. Preferably, a magnetically adsorbed and installed filter screen is adopted, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0051] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention, the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claimed rights.
