Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air conditioning anti-water blowing structure. Background Technology
[0002] A computer room air conditioning system is an air conditioner specifically designed to provide air circulation, air filtration, cooling, reheating, and temperature and humidity control to a computer room.
[0003] Current data center air conditioning systems operate in cooling mode in high-humidity environments. Because the evaporation temperature is lower than the air's dew point temperature, condensation occurs on the evaporator, causing water to flow into the drip tray. If the fan speed is too high, the water in the drip tray is blown onto the fan intake, easily resulting in water blowing out of the air outlet. This seriously affects customer experience and data center security. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioning anti-water blowing structure, which solves the problem that current computer room air conditioning systems are prone to water blowing from the air outlet when operating in a high humidity environment, which seriously affects the customer experience and the security of the data center.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs an air conditioner anti-dampening structure, comprising a fan, an evaporator, a drip tray, an anti-dampening module, and a support module. The fan has a return air inlet, the drip tray is disposed at the return air inlet, the evaporator is disposed above the drip tray, the support module is fixedly connected to the drip tray and is located above the drip tray, and the anti-dampening module is connected to the support module and is located above the drip tray.
[0006] The anti-blowing module is made of absorbent material, which is fixedly connected to the support module and located above the water receiving tray.
[0007] The anti-blowing module includes a non-absorbent material and a hydrophobic support. The hydrophobic support is fixedly connected to the support module and is located above the water receiving tray. The non-absorbent material is disposed above the hydrophobic support.
[0008] The anti-blowing module is a water baffle, which is fixedly connected to the support module and located at the return air vent.
[0009] The support module includes a support rail, a sliding frame, a supporting column, a supporting spring, and a pulling rod. The support rail is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray and is located above the water receiving tray. The sliding frame is slidably connected to the support rail. The anti-blowing module is fixedly connected to the sliding frame. The sliding frame has a slot. The supporting spring is disposed inside the support rail. One end of the supporting spring is connected to the support rail. The supporting column is connected to the other end of the supporting spring, and the supporting column is adapted to the slot. One end of the pulling rod is fixedly connected to the supporting column, and the other end of the pulling rod passes through the support rail.
[0010] This utility model discloses an air conditioner anti-water-blowing structure. The anti-water-blowing module is supported by the aforementioned support module. The anti-water-blowing module is added to the water collection tray to prevent water from splashing onto the fan intake and causing water to blow up. Using the anti-water-blowing module, the air conditioner is unaffected by the fan speed, allowing it to continuously operate at full load in high humidity environments, ensuring stable operation of the data center, preventing water-blowing, and improving customer experience and data center security.

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0018] Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an air conditioner anti-dampening structure, including a fan 10, an evaporator 20, a water collection tray 30, an anti-dampening module, and a support module. The fan 10 has a return air inlet 11, the water collection tray 30 is disposed at the return air inlet 11, the evaporator 20 is disposed above the water collection tray 30, the support module is fixedly connected to the water collection tray 30 and is located above the water collection tray 30, and the anti-dampening module is connected to the support module and is located above the water collection tray 30.
[0019] Furthermore, the anti-blowing module is a water-absorbing material 41, which is fixedly connected to the support module and located above the water receiving tray 30.
[0020] Further, the support module includes a support rail 71, a sliding frame 72, a supporting column 74, a supporting spring 75, and a pulling rod 76. The support rail 71 is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray 30 and is located above the water receiving tray 30. The sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71. The anti-blowing module is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 72. The sliding frame 72 has a slot 73. The supporting spring 75 is disposed inside the support rail 71. One end of the supporting spring 75 is connected to the support rail 71. The supporting column 74 is connected to the other end of the supporting spring 75, and the supporting column 74 is adapted to the slot 73. One end of the pulling rod 76 is fixedly connected to the supporting column 74, and the other end of the pulling rod 76 passes through the support rail 71.
[0021] In this embodiment, the sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71, used to install the anti-blowing module above the water receiving tray 30. Under the action of the retaining spring 75, the retaining post 74 is embedded in the slot 73, so that the support rail 71 and the sliding frame 72 are relatively fixed. Pulling the pulling rod 76 can remove the retaining post 74 from the slot 73, at which time the sliding frame 72 can slide relative to the support rail 71. The water-absorbing material 41 has a large amount of hydrophobic material inside. The porous structure of the absorbent material 41 facilitates the flow of internal condensate. Due to the porous structure, when airflow passes through this location, the wind resistance increases due to the misalignment of the pores, thus reducing the wind speed at that location. Therefore, it is unlikely that water in the drip tray 30 will be carried away by the air, causing water drift. This structure is unaffected by the fan speed 10, allowing the air conditioner to continuously operate at full load in a high-humidity environment, ensuring stable operation of the data center, preventing water drift, and improving customer experience and data center security.
[0022] Example 2, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an air conditioner anti-dampening structure, including a fan 10, an evaporator 20, a water collection tray 30, an anti-dampening module, and a support module. The fan 10 has a return air inlet 11, the water collection tray 30 is disposed at the return air inlet 11, the evaporator 20 is disposed above the water collection tray 30, the support module is fixedly connected to the water collection tray 30 and is located above the water collection tray 30, and the anti-dampening module is connected to the support module and is located above the water collection tray 30.
[0023] Furthermore, the anti-blowing module includes a non-absorbent material 51 and a hydrophobic bracket 52. The hydrophobic bracket 52 is fixedly connected to the support module and is located above the water receiving tray 30. The non-absorbent material 51 is disposed above the hydrophobic bracket 52.
[0024] Further, the support module includes a support rail 71, a sliding frame 72, a supporting column 74, a supporting spring 75, and a pulling rod 76. The support rail 71 is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray 30 and is located above the water receiving tray 30. The sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71. The anti-blowing module is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 72. The sliding frame 72 has a slot 73. The supporting spring 75 is disposed inside the support rail 71. One end of the supporting spring 75 is connected to the support rail 71. The supporting column 74 is connected to the other end of the supporting spring 75, and the supporting column 74 is adapted to the slot 73. One end of the pulling rod 76 is fixedly connected to the supporting column 74, and the other end of the pulling rod 76 passes through the support rail 71.
[0025] In this embodiment, the sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71, and is used to install the anti-blowing module above the water receiving tray 30. Under the action of the abutment spring 75, the abutment post 74 is embedded in the slot 73, so that the support rail 71 and the sliding frame 72 are relatively fixed. Pulling the pull rod 76 can remove the abutment post 74 from the slot 73, at which time the sliding frame 72 can slide relative to the support rail 71. The non-absorbent material 51 is placed on the upper part of the hydrophobic bracket 52, and an opening is made on the upper part of the hydrophobic bracket 52. Alternatively, multiple drainage brackets 52 can be placed at intervals to facilitate the downward flow of condensate from the non-absorbent material 51 above. Water below the drainage brackets 52 can flow freely without affecting the normal discharge of condensate. At the same time, since the surface of the condensate is covered by the non-absorbent material 51, there is almost no sloshing on the water surface, thus avoiding the phenomenon of water blowing. With the above structure, it is not affected by the speed of the fan 10, allowing the air conditioner to continuously output at full load in a high humidity environment, ensuring the stable operation of the data center, avoiding the phenomenon of water blowing, and improving customer experience and data center security.
[0026] Example 3, please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an air conditioner anti-dampening structure, including a fan 10, an evaporator 20, a water collection tray 30, an anti-dampening module, and a support module. The fan 10 has a return air inlet 11, the water collection tray 30 is disposed at the return air inlet 11, the evaporator 20 is disposed above the water collection tray 30, the support module is fixedly connected to the water collection tray 30 and is located above the water collection tray 30, and the anti-dampening module is connected to the support module and is located above the water collection tray 30.
[0027] Furthermore, the anti-blowing module is a water baffle 61, which is fixedly connected to the support module and located at the return air vent 11.
[0028] Further, the support module includes a support rail 71, a sliding frame 72, a supporting column 74, a supporting spring 75, and a pulling rod 76. The support rail 71 is fixedly connected to the water receiving tray 30 and is located above the water receiving tray 30. The sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71. The anti-blowing module is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 72. The sliding frame 72 has a slot 73. The supporting spring 75 is disposed inside the support rail 71. One end of the supporting spring 75 is connected to the support rail 71. The supporting column 74 is connected to the other end of the supporting spring 75, and the supporting column 74 is adapted to the slot 73. One end of the pulling rod 76 is fixedly connected to the supporting column 74, and the other end of the pulling rod 76 passes through the support rail 71.
[0029] In this embodiment, the sliding frame 72 is slidably connected to the support rail 71 to install the anti-blowing module above the water receiving tray 30. Under the action of the abutment spring 75, the abutment post 74 is embedded in the slot 73, so that the support rail 71 and the sliding frame 72 are relatively fixed. Pulling the pull rod 76 can pull the abutment post 74 out of the slot 73, at which time the sliding frame 72 can slide relative to the support rail 71. The baffle plate 61 is provided at the return air inlet 11 to prevent the condensate at the bottom of the water receiving tray 30 from being directly carried to the air intake of the fan 10. When water from the water collection tray 30 floats onto the baffle plate 61, the water droplets condense on the baffle plate 61 due to its upward angle and flow down due to gravity. This prevents the water droplets splashed from the water collection tray 30 from being blown out through the air intake of the fan 10. With this structure, the air conditioner can operate at full load in a high-humidity environment without being affected by the fan speed, ensuring stable operation of the data center, avoiding water blowing, and improving customer experience and data center security.
