Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of data centers, and in particular relates to a diffuse air return device used in a data center. Background Art

[0002] With the improvement of server integration, the power of data server equipment in the data center room has been greatly increased. High power consumption will inevitably generate high heat, which makes the data server equipment generate more heat. The large data center room will be equipped with air conditioners and other cooling equipment on both sides of the room, so that the air conditioner can blow air from both sides at the same time, thereby forming a diffuse air supply, thereby achieving a rapid cooling effect.

[0003] Traditionally, data center computer rooms are cooled and dissipated quickly through diffuse upward air supply or diffuse downward air supply. However, in the diffuse upward air supply method, water vapor is formed when cold air meets hot air, making the data room humid, which can easily cause damage and short circuits to electronic components in data server equipment. In the new diffuse downward air supply method, cold air is heavier than hot air, making it inconvenient to transport cold air from bottom to top, resulting in poor cooling effect of cold air transported from bottom to top. At the same time, regardless of whether it is diffuse upward air supply or diffuse downward air supply, when the air conditioners on both sides are blowing at opposite sides, the cold air blown out will cause airflow turbulence, vortexes and other phenomena. Therefore, a diffuse return air device for data centers is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides a diffuse return air device for a data center, including a heat dissipation chamber composed of transparent glass arranged in a computer room, a plurality of air conditioners are arranged in sequence on both sides of the heat dissipation chamber, a cavity is opened under the floor of the heat dissipation chamber, and the cold air delivery pipe of the air conditioner is connected to the cavity, a plurality of server equipment are arranged in the heat dissipation chamber, the floor in the heat dissipation chamber is set as a grille plate, and a vent connected to a ventilation duct is provided on the top of the heat dissipation chamber.

[0005] Furthermore, the cavity is fixedly supported by a plurality of support rods, and the plurality of support rods are arranged in sequence in the cavity; it also includes a plurality of arc-shaped guide plates, one of the guide plates is installed on the support rods on the left and right sides of the cavity, and two symmetrically arranged guide plates are installed on a row of support rods in the middle of the cavity, the arc-shaped concave surface of the guide plate on the left faces the air conditioner on the left, the arc-shaped concave surface of the guide plate on the right faces the air conditioner on the right, and the arc-shaped concave surfaces of the guide plate in the middle face the adjacent air conditioners respectively.

[0006] Furthermore, the output ends of the cold air delivery pipes of the air conditioners are all horizontally oriented toward the guide plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the plurality of air conditioners on both sides of the heat dissipation chamber are arranged in one-to-one correspondence, and the output ends of the cold air delivery pipes on both sides are also in one-to-one correspondence.

[0008] The advantages of the utility model are: the utility model solves the problem that when the traditional air conditioner supplies air for heat dissipation and cooling, the cold air meets the hot air to form water vapor, which makes the data room become humid, thereby causing the electronic components in the data server equipment to be easily damaged and short-circuited. In addition, by setting the floor in the heat dissipation room as a grid plate, the number of heat dissipation holes in the heat dissipation room is increased, and the cold air can be transported from the underground to the heat dissipation room over a large area, thereby improving the transportation efficiency and achieving the effect of rapid heat dissipation and cooling.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] This embodiment provides Figure 1 to Figure 3 A diffuse air return device for a data center is shown, comprising a heat dissipation chamber 2 composed of transparent glass arranged in a machine room 1, a plurality of air conditioners 3 are arranged in sequence on both sides of the heat dissipation chamber 2, a cavity 4 is opened under the floor of the heat dissipation chamber 2, a cold air delivery pipe 5 of the air conditioner 3 is connected to the cavity 4, a plurality of server equipment 6 are arranged in the heat dissipation chamber 2, the floor in the heat dissipation chamber 2 is set as a grille plate, and a vent 8 connected to a ventilation duct 7 is provided on the top of the heat dissipation chamber 2.

[0020] Furthermore, the cavity 4 is fixedly supported by a plurality of support rods 9, and the plurality of support rods 9 are arranged in sequence in the cavity 4; it also includes a plurality of arc-shaped guide plates 10, a guide plate 10 is installed on each of the support rods 9 on the left and right sides of the cavity 4, and two symmetrically arranged guide plates 10 are installed on a row of support rods 9 in the middle of the cavity 4, the arc-shaped concave surface of the guide plate 10 on the left faces the air conditioner 3 on the left, the arc-shaped concave surface of the guide plate 10 on the right faces the air conditioner 3 on the right, and the arc-shaped concave surfaces of the guide plate 10 in the middle face the adjacent air conditioners 3 respectively.

[0021] Furthermore, the output ends of the cold air delivery pipes 5 of the plurality of air conditioners 3 are all horizontally directed toward the guide plate 10 .

[0022] Furthermore, the plurality of air conditioners 3 on both sides of the heat dissipation chamber 2 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the output ends of the cold air delivery pipes 5 on both sides are also in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0023] When in use, first, a heat dissipation chamber 2 is built in the machine room 1, and then the server equipment 6 is placed in the heat dissipation chamber 2, and a cavity 4 is opened under the heat dissipation chamber 2, and then the air conditioner 3, the ventilation duct 7 and the grille plate are installed in sequence, and the construction of the data center is completed;

[0024] Secondly, several support rods 9 are sequentially arranged in the cavity 4 to stabilize the internal structure of the cavity 4. An upper guide plate 10 is installed on the left side of the support rod 9 on the left side of the cavity 4, an upper guide plate 10 is installed on the right side of the support rod 9 on the right side of the cavity 4, and an upper guide plate 10 is installed on both sides of the left and right sides of the support rod 9 in the middle;

[0025] Then, when the air conditioner 3 works to air-cool the server equipment 6, the cold air of the air conditioner 3 is blown out from the output end of the cold air delivery pipe 5, and the blown cold air is guided upward by the guide plate 10, and then dispersed in the heat dissipation chamber 2 through the grille plate to achieve the effect of cooling and heat dissipation.

[0027] In summary, the utility model solves the problem that when the traditional air conditioner 3 supplies air for heat dissipation and cooling, the cold air meets the hot air to form water vapor, which makes the data room 1 humid, thereby causing the electronic components in the data server equipment 6 to be easily damaged, short-circuited and other problems. By setting the floor in the heat dissipation chamber 2 as a grille plate, the number of heat dissipation holes in the heat dissipation chamber 2 is increased, and the cold air can be transported from the underground to the heat dissipation chamber 2 over a large area, thereby improving the transportation efficiency and achieving the effect of rapid heat dissipation and cooling. At the same time, it also avoids the occurrence of air flow turbulence, vortex and other phenomena caused by the cold air blowing against each other in the cavity 4, and cooperates with the guide plate 10 to further avoid the air flow blowing against each other on the left and right sides, and further improve the efficiency of the underground cold air upward transportation.
