[0012] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this application, a water tank is fixedly arranged in front of the in-row air conditioner. A water trough with an open top is opened in the water tank. A first water guide strip and a second water guide strip are fixedly arranged on one side of the in-row air conditioner. The first water guide strip communicates with the second water guide strip, and the second water guide strip communicates with the water trough. The first water guide strip is located below the drain outlet and is inclined. The condensed water discharged from the drain outlet will flow along the first water guide strip and the second water guide strip and finally flow into the water trough to be collected; two rotating shafts are symmetrically and rotatably installed in the water trough.

Detailed implementation mode

[0018] Combined with the attached Figures 1-8 For the condensate water treatment device of a computer room air conditioner described above, it includes an in-row air conditioner 11. The in-row air conditioner 11 discharges condensate water through a drain outlet 12. The condensate water is generated by a radiator in the in-row air conditioner 11. A water tank and a water pipe connecting the drain outlet 12 are arranged in the in-row air conditioner 11 to discharge the condensate water from the drain outlet 12. The technology of condensate water generation and discharge is the basic technology of an air conditioner, which will not be elaborated and demonstrated in detail in this application; A water tank 21 is fixedly arranged in front of the in-row air conditioner 11. A water trough 30 with an open top is arranged in the water tank 21. A first water guide strip 13 and a second water guide strip 23 are fixedly arranged on one side of the in-row air conditioner 11. The first water guide strip 13 communicates with the second water guide strip 23, and the second water guide strip 23 communicates with the water trough 30. The first water guide strip 13 is located below the drain outlet 12 and is inclined. The condensate water discharged from the drain outlet 12 will flow along the first water guide strip 13, the second water guide strip 23 and finally flow into the water trough 30 to be collected; Two rotating shafts 41 are symmetrically and rotatably installed in the water tank 30. The other ends of the rotating shafts 41 are rotatably arranged in the bushings 40. The bushings 40 are fixed to the inner wall of the water tank 30. A torsion spring 42 is arranged between the rotating shafts 41 and the bushings 40. A reel 31 is fixed on the rotating shaft 41. A screen 29 is wound around the reel 31. The screen 29 absorbs the condensed water in the water tank 30. Each screen 29 is connected to a winding and unwinding assembly. The screen 29 can be pulled out through the winding and unwinding assembly. At this time, the rotating shaft 41 will deform. When the winding and unwinding assembly relaxes the screen 29, the rotating shaft 41 will reset, and the reel 31 will wind the screen 29. The winding and unwinding assembly includes a slide rail 22 fixed to the row - type air conditioner 11 and a fixed platform 32 fixed to the top of the row - type air conditioner 11. A slider 26 is slidably installed in the slide rail 22. A fixed strip 27 is fixed to one side of the slider 26. A fixed rod 28 is fixed to one side of the fixed strip 27. One side of the screen 29 is fixed to the fixed rod 28. A pair of fixed seats 34 are fixed on the fixed platform 32. A gear shaft 36 is rotatably installed between the fixed seats 34. The gear shaft 36 penetrates through one of the fixed seats 34 and is fixedly connected to a first bevel gear 37. A wire wheel 35 is fixedly installed on the gear shaft 36. A wire 25 is wound around the wire wheel 35. One end of the wire 25 is fixed to the slider 26; The wire 25 is guided by a fixed pulley seat 33, and the fixed pulley seat 33 is fixedly installed on the fixed platform 32; The two winding and unwinding assemblies are symmetrically arranged and are both driven by a first motor 38. The first motor 38 is fixed to the top of the row - type air conditioner 11. A second bevel gear 39 is fixed to the motor shaft of the first motor 38. The second bevel gear 39 meshes with the two first bevel gears 37 at the same time. After the first motor 38 is started, it drives the second bevel gear 39 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 39 drives the first bevel gear 37 to rotate through the meshing of the second bevel gear 39 and the first bevel gear 37. The first bevel gear 37 drives the coaxial wire wheel 35 to rotate. The wire wheel 35 winds the wire 25, thereby pulling the slider 26. The slider 26 drives the fixed strip 27 and the fixed rod 28 to rise, thereby pulling out the screen 29.

[0019] On both sides of the in-row air conditioner 11, there are symmetrically arranged flapping components 60. The flapping component 60 includes a second motor 14 fixed on the in-row air conditioner 11. The motor shaft of the second motor 14 is fixed to a sector gear 15. The sector gear 15 meshes with a rack 16. The rack 16 is fixed on a flapping bar 17. At least one guide rod 18 is fixed on the flapping bar 17. The guide rod 18 passes through a fixing piece 19. The guide rod 18 is slidably matched with the fixing piece 19. The fixing piece 19 is fixed to the in-row air conditioner 11. A spring 20 is arranged between the fixing piece 19 and the flapping bar 17. After the screen 29 is pulled out, the second motor 14 is started to drive the sector gear 15 to rotate. Through the meshing of the sector gear 15 and the rack 16, the flapping bar 17 is moved towards the position of the second motor 14, and the spring 20 is compressed. After the sector gear 15 disengages from the rack 16, the spring 20 instantaneously resets, driving the flapping bar 17 to flap the condensed water on the screen 29, so that the condensed water on both sides of the screen 29 collides in front of the in-row air conditioner 11 and is in a pulverized state in front of the in-row air conditioner 11, and is evenly spread to the computer room by the cold air blown out by the in-row air conditioner 11, so that the computer room is no longer dry. At the same time, the flapping bar 17 will also be stained with condensed water. In this way, during the process of the cold air blown out by the in-row air conditioner 11 drying the condensed water on the flapping bar 17, the temperature will become lower, achieving a better cooling effect.

[0020] It should be specifically noted that referring to Figure 7 , a large number of holes are evenly distributed on the screen 29. The condensed water in the water tank 30 will stay in the holes on the screen 29 under the action of its own surface tension, so that the screen 29 can carry out a large amount of condensed water at one time.

[0021] A water level sensor 43 is fixedly installed in the water tank 21. A controller is integrated on the circuit board in the in-row air conditioner 11. The controller is used to control the operation of the second motor 14 and the first motor 38 in this application. The water level sensor 43 detects that the water level of the condensed water is too high and feeds it back to the controller. The controller then controls the first motor 38 and the second motor 14 to start to consume the condensed water and humidify and further cool the computer room.

[0022] Usage method: The in-row air conditioner 11 is normally started, and cold air is blown out from the front side to continuously cool the computer room; The condensed water discharged from the drain port 12 will flow along the first water guide bar 13 and the second water guide bar 23 and finally flow into the water tank 30 to be collected. The screen 29 will absorb the condensed water in the water tank 30; The water level sensor 43 detects the condensate water level and feeds it back to the controller. When the condensate water level is too high, the controller controls the first motor 38 to start. After the first motor 38 starts, it drives the second bevel gear 39 to rotate. The first bevel gear 37 is driven to rotate by the meshing of the second bevel gear 39 and the first bevel gear 37. The first bevel gear 37 drives the coaxial wire wheel 35 to rotate. The wire wheel 35 winds up the wire 25, thereby pulling the slider 26. The slider 26 drives the fixed strip 27 and the fixed rod 28 to rise, thereby pulling out the wire mesh 29. The cold air blown out by the row air conditioner 11 will carry the water vapor on the surface of the wire mesh 29, thereby humidifying the computer room and further cooling it; After the wire mesh 29 is pulled out, the controller controls the second motor 14 to start. The second motor 14 starts and drives the sector gear 15 to rotate. The slapping bar 17 is moved towards the position of the second motor 14 by the meshing of the sector gear 15 and the rack 16. The spring 20 is compressed. After the sector gear 15 disengages from the rack 16, the spring 20 instantaneously resets, driving the slapping bar 17 to slap the condensate water on the wire mesh 29, so that the condensate water on both sides of the wire mesh 29 collides in front of the row air conditioner 11 and is in a pulverized state in front of the row air conditioner 11 and is evenly spread to the computer room by the cold air blown out by the row air conditioner 11, thereby making the computer room no longer dry. At the same time, the slapping bar 17 will also be stained with condensate water. In this way, the temperature of the cold air blown out by the row air conditioner 11 will become lower during the process of drying the condensate water on the slapping bar 17, achieving a better cooling effect; After a period of time, the controller controls the second motor 14 to stop working, and the first motor 38 works in the reverse direction to relax the wire mesh 29, and the rotating shaft 41 will reset, and the reel 31 winds up and resets the wire mesh 29; It should be noted that the slapping bar 17 does not normally contact the wire mesh 29. Only when the spring 20 instantaneously resets, the slapping bar 17 will slap the wire mesh 29 (the spring will exceed its original length during the reset process).

Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
