[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments.
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cabinet expansion device for a herringbone modular data center includes a rack box 1 and an expansion box 2. Both the rack box 1 and the expansion box 2 are rectangular hollow structures, and one side of the rack box 1 is slidably connected to the expansion box 2.
[0031] The expansion box 2 can be pushed into the rack box 1 during transportation, and can be pulled out of the rack box 1 during use.
[0032] The expansion box 2 includes a box body 21 , a spray pipeline 22 and a water curtain assembly 23 . The water curtain assembly 23 is installed on one side of the box body 21 , and the spray pipeline 22 is provided on the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23 .
[0033] The modular data center rack is equipped with an expansion box 2. During transportation, the expansion box 2 can be pushed into the rack box 1 of the modular data center. When in use, the expansion box 2 can be pulled out of the rack box 1 to increase the distance between the water curtain and the rack, thereby meeting the standard requirements.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of mounting plates 211 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the box body 21. A folding structure 212 is also provided on each of the four sides of one side of the box body 21. The mounting plates 211 and the folding structure 212 facilitate pushing the box body 21 and the rack box 1 in or out.
[0035] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spray pipe 22 includes a water supply pipe 221 and a spray pipe 222. The water supply pipe 221 is mounted to the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23 and is vertically arranged. The bottom of the water supply pipe 221 is connected to an external water source via a valve, and the top of the water supply pipe 221 is connected to the spray pipe 222, which is horizontally arranged. The spray pipe 22 is externally mounted, and the pipeline has only one water outlet pipe. The line is simple, which increases the spray area on the water curtain assembly 23 and evenly distributes it, significantly enhancing the cooling effect, thereby solving the problem of small water volume and uneven water distribution of each water outlet.
[0036] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a water receiving trough 24, which is installed to the bottom of the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23. An outlet pipe is provided at one end of the water receiving trough 24. In actual use, the water receiving trough 24 is used to receive the water sprayed by the water curtain paper of the water curtain assembly 23 from the spray pipe 22, and the water in the water receiving trough 24 is discharged through the outlet pipe.
[0037] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the spray pipe 222 is provided with a plurality of water outlet holes evenly distributed along the axial direction, with the outlet holes facing the top of the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23. The spray pipe 222 is positioned 70 mm from the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23. The height of the spray pipe 222 is flush with the top of the water curtain assembly 23. This arrangement is intended to increase the spray area on the water curtain assembly 23 and ensure uniform water distribution.
[0038] In this embodiment, drainage holes are drilled evenly throughout the six-point stainless steel sheet. A stainless steel pipe is placed 70 mm from the inner side of the water curtain assembly 23, flush with the top of the water curtain. The water outlet angle is adjusted so that the cooling water sprays onto the top of the water curtain paper. The water pressure is adjusted by adjusting the water inlet valve to prevent splashing of the cooling water.
[0039] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the material of the spray pipe 222 is stainless steel. The stainless steel material can not only extend the service life of the spray pipe 222, but also prevent the water outlet from rusting and clogging, thereby preventing uneven water distribution.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the water curtain assembly 23 includes a plurality of water curtain modules 231, which are arranged in an array to form the water curtain assembly 23. In actual use, the number of water curtain modules 231 can be determined according to the actual situation. The water curtain module 231 is an existing water curtain plus fan structure. Water from the spray pipe 222 is sprayed from the water outlet onto the water curtain paper of the water curtain module 231, thereby cooling the rack box 1 and the expansion box 2 under the action of the fan.
[0041] This application will be used to form a modular data center product in the shape of a triangle. Figure 6 shown.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
