Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-5 The modular telescopic duct for data centers shown includes a loading component 1, an exhaust component 2 on the top of the loading component 1, and a telescopic component 3 fixedly connected to the side of the exhaust component 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the loading assembly 1 includes a modular data cabinet 101, with a partition 103 fixedly connected inside the modular data cabinet 101. A connection hole 104 is provided inside the partition 103. The exhaust assembly 2 includes a connecting cylinder 201, with an exhaust fan 202 fixedly connected inside the connecting cylinder 201. A mounting plate 203 is fixedly connected to the top of the partition 103, and a connecting rod 204 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting plate 203. A motor compartment 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting rod 204, and a motor 206 is installed inside the motor compartment 205. The telescopic assembly 3 includes a combined cylinder 301, with a limit hole 302 provided inside the combined cylinder 301. The inner part of the cylinder 301 is provided with a receiving cylinder 303. A fixing seat 305 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving cylinder 303. A damping rod 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing seat 305. A spring 307 is provided on the side of the damping rod 306. A limit rod 308 is elastically connected to the side of the spring 307. By utilizing the characteristics of the damping rod 306 and the spring 307, when the receiving cylinder 303 is extended into the combined cylinder 301, it can be fixed in position by the extension of the limit rod 308 from the limit hole 302. This facilitates extension and retraction while ensuring the overall stability of the tube body after the receiving cylinder 303 is stored inside the combined cylinder 301.
[0030] The connecting cylinder 201 extends into the connecting hole 104. The output end of the motor 206 is fixedly connected to the exhaust fan 202. The top of the connecting cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to the air duct 207. Four limiting holes 302 are provided. Four fixing seats 305, damping rods 306, springs 307 and limiting rods 308 are provided. The modular data cabinet 101 has a device compartment 106 inside. A convection fan 105 is installed on the side of the modular data cabinet 101. An exhaust pipe 304 is fixedly connected to the side of the receiving cylinder 303. The motor 206 can be used to extract and discharge the gas that needs to be discharged from the device compartment 106. This method can achieve the purpose of rapid ventilation. The motor 206 drives the fan blades inside the exhaust fan 202 to rotate and drive the airflow, which can achieve the purpose of heat removal, stale air removal, and temperature and humidity regulation.
[0031] In this embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a push handle 102 is fixedly connected to the side of the modular data cabinet 101. There are two push handles 102. A sliding door 107 is provided inside the modular data cabinet 101. The sliding door 107 slides inside the modular data cabinet 101. A handle 108 is fixedly connected to the side of the sliding door 107. There are two sliding doors 107 and two handles 108. Four casters 109 are provided at the bottom of the modular data cabinet 101. The sliding door 107 allows for convenient replacement and maintenance of the working components in the component compartment 106.
[0032] In this solution, a modular telescopic air duct for a data center utilizes the characteristics of damping rod 306 and spring 307 to allow the receiving cylinder 303 to extend from the limiting hole 302 via limiting rod 308 when it extends into the combined cylinder 301. This fixes the position of the receiving cylinder 303 and improves the ease of extension. After the duct body is adjusted, the motor 206 can be used to extract the gas that needs to be discharged from the device compartment 106. The extracted gas will enter the air duct 207 through the connecting hole 104, pass through the limiting hole 302 and the receiving cylinder 303, and finally be discharged from the exhaust pipe 304. At the same time as the exhaust, the convection fan 105 can work with the exhaust fan 202 to form convection in the device compartment 106.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
