[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hot and cold aisle isolation in a computer room, in particular to a hot and cold aisle isolation structure in an IT computer room. Background Art

[0002] As we all know, IT computer rooms generate a lot of heat due to the high-speed operation of computers during use. Therefore, it is necessary to rationally plan the internal airflow to reduce energy consumption. The heat dissipation in the computer room is carried out by setting up hot and cold channels to ensure the operation of computers.

[0003] Existing hot and cold aisles generally set up a cold aisle between two rows of cabinets. Cold air blows out from the bottom and passes through the cabinets, bringing the hot air generated by the cabinets to the hot aisle outside the cabinet, thereby achieving heat dissipation of the cabinets. However, in actual use, there are cabinets on both sides of the hot aisle. After the hot air is blown out from one cabinet to the hot aisle, it is easy to blow to the cabinet on the other side of the hot aisle, affecting the heat dissipation of the cabinet. If the cabinets on both sides of the hot aisle are placed too far away, a large area of ​​the computer room will be wasted. Therefore, a hot and cold aisle isolation structure for IT computer rooms is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a hot and cold channel isolation structure for an IT computer room, which isolates and dissipates heat from the cabinets in the IT computer room, improves the area utilization rate of the computer room, and ensures the heat dissipation effect.

[0006] Preferably, multiple slide rails are installed on the internal floor of the hot channel, and there are multiple partition plates. Both sides of the partition plates are fixedly connected with support inclined frames, and the lower end inner wall of the support inclined frame is rotatably connected with a pulley, which is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail.

[0007] Preferably, the front side of the slide rail is installed on the inner floor of the hot channel, and the distance between the lower end surface of the partition plate and the inner floor of the hot channel is no more than 1 cm.

[0008] Preferably, multiple groups of horizontal rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the partition plate, and the outer ends of each group of horizontal rods are fixedly connected to an inclined guide plate, with a gap left between the inclined guide plate and the partition plate.

[0009] Preferably, there are two supporting oblique frames on both sides of the partition plate, and the two supporting oblique frames are distributed at both ends of the side wall of the partition plate.

[0010] Preferably, a rectangular groove is provided on the inner bottom surface of the partition plate, a rotating groove is provided on the top of the rectangular groove, a twisting plate is rotatably connected in the rotating groove, a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the twisting plate, an extrusion block is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod, and the extrusion block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove.

[0011] Preferably, the twisting plate protrudes out of the rotating groove and protrudes to both sides of the partition plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] 1. The utility model blows out cold air through the cold air outlet and enters the cold aisle. The cold air passes through the two rows of cabinets on both sides of the cold aisle for cooling. The cold aisle blocks the cold air and does not extend outward. The cold air passes through the cabinet and enters the hot aisle. The heated gas is blocked by the partition plate and does not enter the cabinet on the other side of the hot aisle. The hot air rises along the partition plate and is discharged, thereby making the distance between the two adjacent groups of cabinets smaller and the width of the hot aisle smaller, thereby improving the area utilization rate of the computer room and improving the heat dissipation of the cabinets.

[0014] 2. The partition plate in the present invention can be moved in the hot aisle, so when inspecting the cabinet on one side of the hot aisle, the partition plate can be moved to increase the operating area. The partition plate will not cause any obstruction, thereby improving practicality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] 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 embodiments described 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 technical field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] See also Figure 1-4 The hot and cold aisle isolation structure of the IT computer room of this embodiment includes multiple groups of cabinets 1, each group of cabinets 1 is horizontally distributed in two rows, a cold aisle 5 is formed between the two rows of cabinets 1, closed insulating glass 2 is installed between the upper end surfaces of the two rows of cabinets 1, and movable sealing doors 3 are installed at both ends of the two rows of cabinets 1. A hot aisle 6 is formed between the multiple groups of cabinets 1, a cold air outlet 4 is installed on the inner floor of the cold aisle 5, and a partition plate 7 is installed on the inner floor of the hot aisle 6. The height of the partition plate 7 is equal to the height of the cabinet 1, and the partition plate 7 is located in the middle of the hot aisle 6.

[0023] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the hot and cold aisle isolation structure of the IT room in the present invention is similar to the hot and cold aisle isolation structure of the existing IT room. The main improvement of the present invention is to isolate and dissipate heat for the cabinets in the IT room, thereby improving the area utilization rate of the room and ensuring the heat dissipation effect. The present invention forms a sealed cold aisle 5 between the two rows of cabinets 1 by sealing the hollow glass 2 and the movable sealing door 3. When cooling the room, the cold air is blown from the cold air outlet 4 located underground into the cold aisle 5 and blown toward the cabinet 1 along the cold aisle 5. The cold air passes through the cabinet 1. The heat of the cabinet 1 is driven to re-enter the hot aisle 6. The partition plate 7 located in the middle of the hot aisle 6 blocks the hot air blown out from the cabinet 1. The hot air will not be blown out from the cabinet 1 on one side of the hot aisle 6 and then blown into the cabinet 1 on the other side of the hot aisle 6 to affect the heat dissipation effect. The hot air is blocked along the partition plate 7 and then extracted through the return air vent on the top of the computer room. The distance between the two adjacent groups of cabinets 1 can be placed narrower, that is, the width of the hot aisle 6 can be set narrower. The hot air blown out from the two adjacent groups of cabinets 1 does not affect each other, thereby improving the area utilization rate of the room and improving the heat dissipation of the cabinet 1.

[0024] like Figure 2-4As shown, a plurality of slide rails 8 are installed on the internal floor of the hot channel 6, and the number of partition plates 7 is multiple. Both sides of the partition plate 7 are fixedly connected with a supporting inclined frame 9, and the inner wall of the lower end of the supporting inclined frame 9 is rotatably connected with a pulley 10, and the pulley 10 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide rail 8; the partition plate 7 is supported by the supporting inclined frames 9 on both sides thereof in conjunction with the pulley 10, and the pulley 10 slides in the slide rail 8, and then when inspecting the side of the cabinet 1 close to the hot channel 6, the partition plate 7 can be pushed to move the pulley 10 along the slide rail 8, so that the partition plate 7 is away from the inspection area, providing a larger space, which is convenient for the staff to inspect the cabinet 1.

[0025] like Figure 2-4 As shown, the front side of the slide rail 8 is installed on the inner floor of the hot channel 6, and the distance between the lower end surface of the partition plate 7 and the inner floor of the hot channel 6 is not greater than 1 cm; the distance between the partition plate 7 and the inner floor of the hot channel 6 is small, thereby ensuring that the partition plate 7 blocks the hot air blown out of the cabinets 1 on both sides of the hot channel 6.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, multiple groups of horizontal rods 11 are fixedly connected on both sides of the partition plate 7, and the outer ends of each group of horizontal rods 11 are fixedly connected to an inclined guide plate 12, and a gap is left between the inclined guide plate 12 and the partition plate 7; the hot air blown onto the partition plate 7 is guided upward by the bottom surface of the inclined guide plate 12, and moves upward through the gap between the inclined guide plate 12 and the partition plate 7, thereby reducing the possibility of the hot air contacting the partition plate 7 and then flowing back into the cabinet 1, thereby improving practicality.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, there are two supporting inclined frames 9 on both sides of the partition plate 7, and the two supporting inclined frames 9 are distributed at both ends of the side walls of the partition plate 7; the two supporting inclined frames 9 located on both sides of the partition plate 7 cooperate with the pulley 10 to stably support the partition plate 7 and ensure the stability of the partition plate 7.

[0028] like Figure 4 As shown, a rectangular groove 13 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the partition plate 7, and a rotating groove 17 is provided on the top of the rectangular groove 13. A screwing plate 14 is rotatably connected to the rotating groove 17, and a threaded rod 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the screwing plate 14. The outer wall of the threaded rod 15 is threadedly connected to an extrusion block 16, and the extrusion block 16 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 13; when the partition plate 7 does not need to be moved, the screwing plate 14 is rotated, and the screwing plate 14 rotates in the rotating groove 17. The screwing plate 14 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, and the threaded rod 15 drives the extrusion block 16 to move downward in the rectangular groove 13, so that the extrusion block 16 contacts the ground, and the extrusion block 16 generates friction with the ground, thereby restricting the partition plate 7, so that the partition plate 7 remains stable and improves practicality.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the twisting plate 14 protrudes out of the rotating groove 17 and protrudes to both sides of the partition plate 7; the staff can rotate the twisting plate 14 on both sides of the partition plate 7 to conveniently control the extrusion block 16 to rise or fall.

[0030] Implementation steps in this embodiment: When cooling the computer room, cold air is blown from the cold air outlet 4 located underground into the cold aisle 5, and blown toward the cabinet 1 along the cold aisle 5. The cold air passes through the cabinet 1, driving the heat of the cabinet 1 and then enters the hot aisle 6. The partition plate 7 located in the middle of the hot aisle 6 blocks the hot air blown out from the cabinet 1. The hot air is guided upward by the bottom surface of the inclined guide plate 12, moves upward through the gap between the inclined guide plate 12 and the partition plate 7, and then is extracted through the return air vent on the top of the computer room. The distance between two adjacent groups of cabinets 1 can be placed narrower, that is, the width of the hot aisle 6 can be set narrower. The hot air blown out from the two adjacent groups of cabinets 1 does not affect each other, thereby improving the utilization rate of the room area and improving the heat dissipation of the cabinets 1; when inspecting the side of the cabinet 1 close to the hot channel 6, the screwing plate 14 can be rotated, and the screwing plate 14 rotates in the rotating groove 17, and the screwing plate 14 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate, and the threaded rod 15 drives the extrusion block 16 to move upward in the rectangular groove 13, so that the extrusion block 16 is separated from the ground. At this time, the partition plate 7 can be pushed to make the pulley 10 move along the slide rail 8, and the supporting inclined frame 9 supports the partition plate 7, so that the partition plate 7 is away from the inspection area, providing more space, and facilitating the staff to inspect the cabinet 1.

[0031] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for the purpose of clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
