Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of uninterruptible power supply technology, specifically a water-cooled UPS uninterruptible power supply. Background Technology
[0002] An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a constant voltage and frequency power supply containing an energy storage device and an inverter as its main component. UPS equipment typically provides strong protection against both overvoltage and undervoltage.
[0003] During the operation of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), the internal electronic components generate a large amount of heat due to processes such as power conversion. If heat cannot be dissipated in a timely and effective manner, the accumulation of heat will cause the internal temperature of the equipment to rise sharply.
[0004] Existing heat dissipation methods mostly rely on fan-driven airflow. Because the airflow from the fan outlet is relatively concentrated, the airflow often only covers a limited area inside the equipment, making it difficult to achieve comprehensive and uniform heat dissipation for all corners and heat-generating components within the complex internal structure of the UPS. This uneven heat dissipation can easily lead to heat accumulation in some areas, causing localized overheating, which in turn affects the performance and lifespan of the electronic components inside the equipment, increasing the risk of equipment failure. Therefore, a water-cooled UPS is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0028] Example 1
[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a water-cooled UPS uninterruptible power supply, including an uninterruptible power supply assembly 1 and four casters 4 fixedly installed at the bottom of the uninterruptible power supply assembly 1. It also includes a connecting mechanism 3 and a heat dissipation mechanism 2 installed at the top of the uninterruptible power supply assembly 1. The connecting mechanism 3 is used to connect the uninterruptible power supply assembly 1 and the heat dissipation mechanism 2.
[0030] The heat dissipation mechanism 2 includes a heat dissipation part and an air guide part that are rotatably connected;
[0031] The heat dissipation section includes a heat dissipation box 212 and a fan 25, and the air guiding section includes a rotating rod 26 and an air guiding plate 27;
[0032] An air outlet is provided through the bottom of the heat sink 212. A reciprocating threaded rod 22 is rotatably mounted inside the heat sink 212 via a bearing seat 1. A movable block 24 is threaded onto the reciprocating threaded rod 22 and is fixedly connected to the fan 25. The heat sink 212 is rotatably connected to a rotating rod 26 via a bearing seat 2, and the rotating rod 26 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 27 located below the fan 25. A mounting bracket 29 is fixedly mounted on the left side of the heat sink 212, and a mounting bracket 29 is fixedly mounted on it. A motor 28 is provided, with its output end extending through and into the heat sink 212. The output end of the motor 28 is fixedly connected to a reciprocating threaded rod 22. A drive gear 213 is fitted onto the output end of the motor 28. A rotating rod 26 extends through and out of the heat sink 212. A driven gear 214 is fitted onto the rotating rod 26 located outside the heat sink 212 and near the motor 28. The drive gear 213 meshes with the driven gear 214. A limit hole is provided through the moving block 24, and a sliding connection is made within the limit hole. A limiting rod 21 is connected to the heat sink 212, with both ends of the limiting rod 21 fixedly connected to the heat sink 212. An air inlet pipe 23 extending into the heat sink 212 is fixedly installed through the top of the heat sink 212. A filter cover 211 is fitted on the side of the air inlet pipe 23 away from the heat sink 212, and a filter plate 210 is installed on the inner side of the filter cover 211. A refrigerant tank 218 and a liquid pump 216 are fixedly installed on the back of the heat sink 212. A semiconductor cooler 217 is fixedly installed on the top of the refrigerant tank 218. The liquid outlet of the thermoelectric cooler 217 extends through and into the refrigerant tank 218. The liquid inlet of the thermoelectric cooler 217 is connected to the liquid outlet of the liquid pump 216. A water-cooling pipe 215 is installed in the heat sink 212. The liquid inlet of the liquid pump 216 is connected to the liquid outlet of the water-cooling pipe 215. The liquid inlet of the water-cooling pipe 215 extends through and into the refrigerant tank 218. A water inlet and outlet pipe extends through and into the refrigerant tank 218. Valves are installed on the water inlet and outlet pipes.
[0033] Through the above technical solution, the fan 25 in the heat dissipation mechanism 2 draws air through the air inlet pipe 23 with filter plate 210 to the heat dissipation box 212, and then blows the air from the air outlet at the bottom of the heat dissipation box 212 to the uninterruptible power supply component 1, thus dissipating heat for the uninterruptible power supply component 1. The motor 28 drives the reciprocating threaded rod 22 to make the moving block 24 carry the fan 25 to move back and forth. Through the meshing transmission of the driving gear 213 and the driven gear 214, the rotating rod 26 can drive the air guide plate 27 to rotate synchronously. The two together expand the air blowing area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. In addition, the semiconductor cooler 217 and the liquid pump 216 can keep the refrigerant in the water cooling pipe 215 at a low temperature, which cools the air blown out by the fan 25, thereby further improving the heat dissipation efficiency, ensuring stable operation of the equipment and extending its service life.
[0034] Example 2
[0035] like Figures 1-7 As shown, based on the same concept as Embodiment 1 above, this embodiment further proposes the following technical solution: The connecting mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 31, the top of the mounting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat sink 212, a fixing sleeve 35 is fixedly provided on the right side of the uninterruptible power supply assembly 1, the fixing sleeve 35 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 31, a rectangular groove is provided on the fixing sleeve 35, a connecting block 34 is slidably provided in the rectangular groove, and the connecting block 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31; a positioning plate 33 is fixedly provided on the back of the uninterruptible power supply assembly 1, a positioning groove is provided through the positioning plate 33, a positioning frame 32 is fixedly provided on the back of the heat sink 212, the positioning frame 32 passes through the positioning groove and extends to the bottom of the positioning plate 33, a threaded hole is provided on the connecting block 34, a bolt 36 is threaded in the threaded hole, a compression ring 37 is sleeved on the bolt 36, and the compression ring 37 abuts against the fixing sleeve 35.
[0036] Through the above technical solution, the mounting plate 31 in the connecting mechanism 3 cooperates with the heat sink 212 and the fixing sleeve 35, and the positioning frame 32 and the positioning plate 33 achieve precise positioning. During installation, simply insert the positioning frame 32 and the mounting plate 31 and tighten the bolts 36 to fix it, which is simple and efficient. During disassembly, loosen the bolts 36 to disengage the compression ring 37 from the fixing sleeve 35, and lift the heat sink 212 to complete the disassembly, which facilitates equipment maintenance, shortens maintenance time, and improves maintainability.
[0037] During use, the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) assembly 1 activates the fan 25. The fan 25 draws external air into the heat sink 212, which then blows the air into the UPS assembly 1 through the air outlet at the bottom of the heat sink 212, thus dissipating heat. During heat dissipation, the motor 28 is activated. The rotation of the motor 28's output end drives the reciprocating threaded rod 22 to rotate. As the reciprocating threaded rod 22 rotates, the limiting rod 21 causes the moving block 24 to reciprocate left and right. This reciprocating movement of the moving block 24 drives the fan 25 to move synchronously, expanding the airflow area. Furthermore, the drive gear 213 and driven gear 214 drive the fan 25 to rotate when the motor 28's output end rotates. The rod 26 rotates synchronously, which drives the air guide plate 27 to rotate. When the air guide plate 27 rotates, it can diffuse the air blown by the fan 25 and increase the air blowing area. Then, by turning on the liquid pump 216 and the semiconductor cooler 217, the refrigerant inside the coolant tank 218 and the water cooling pipe 215 can flow, so that the refrigerant inside the water cooling pipe 215 can always maintain a low temperature. The water cooling pipe 215 can cool the air by contacting the air blown by the fan 25, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the uninterruptible power supply component 1. After the outside air enters the heat dissipation box 212, it can be filtered by the filter plate 210. The filter plate 210 can be disassembled and can be removed for cleaning after a period of use.
[0038] When it is necessary to disassemble the heat sink 212, simply loosen the bolt 36 to disengage the compression ring 37 from the fixing sleeve 35, and then lift the heat sink 212 upwards to disassemble it. During installation, the control positioning bracket 32 and the mounting plate 31 are inserted into the inner wall of the positioning groove and the inner side of the fixing sleeve 35 respectively to install it. After installation, tighten the bolt 36 to fix the heat sink 212.
[0039] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the technical features of this utility model are not limited thereto. Any simple changes, equivalent substitutions, or modifications made based on this utility model to solve essentially the same technical problems and achieve essentially the same technical effects are all covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
