Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary ventilation and noise reduction structure of cold heat dissipation device, and more specifically to a noise reduction structure for energy storage liquid cooler unit that adapts to high wind speed and low pressure loss ventilation and noise reduction. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands for stability and energy efficiency in cooling systems from data centers, industrial energy storage, and high-performance computing platforms, liquid chillers, as key heat dissipation units, are receiving more and more attention in terms of operating efficiency, structural integration, and noise control. Especially in 60kW-class liquid cooling equipment, where internal airflow is large and fan operation is frequent, how to reduce energy consumption and noise while ensuring cooling performance has become a key issue of concern in the industry.
[0003] Traditional liquid chillers often suffer from the following technical problems in their ventilation and noise reduction structures:
[0004] 1. Complex airflow path and high ventilation resistance: Many existing systems adopt L-shaped or multi-fold air duct structure, and the internal airflow path turns multiple times, which can easily cause eddies, local high pressure and backflow, resulting in a significant increase in pressure loss. This not only increases the power consumption of the fan, but also reduces the cooling efficiency.
[0005] 2. Fixed connection of the silencer device, making maintenance difficult: Traditional silencer structures mostly use bolt fixing, and the components cannot be disassembled or replaced inconveniently. After operation, maintenance or component aging, the whole machine needs to be shut down or even the outer shell needs to be disassembled for treatment, resulting in long maintenance cycles and high labor costs.
[0006] 3. Weak noise reduction design and insufficient spectrum coverage: Some liquid-cooled ventilation systems only use a single layer of sound-absorbing material or foam materials, which makes it difficult to effectively control the low- and medium-frequency noise (such as the 50Hz to 400Hz range) generated during fan operation. The overall noise reduction effect is limited and it is difficult to meet the usage requirements of noise-sensitive places.
[0007] 4. Dispersed structure and complex assembly: The internal ventilation components of the whole machine lack modular design, and the assembly of components relies on multiple connection methods, which not only affects the consistency and efficiency of manufacturing, but also hinders standardized production and large-scale delivery.
[0008] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a liquid-cooled air conditioning system with a modular structure, low wind resistance channels, and effective noise reduction and protection functions. Utility Model Content
[0009] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a noise reduction structure for energy storage liquid-cooled units that adapts to high wind speed and low pressure loss ventilation and noise reduction. By integrating multiple functions such as sliding rail plug-in noise reduction components, straight-through convection channels, upper and lower static pressure cavities, and bird-proof and waterproof structures, it significantly improves the ventilation efficiency, noise reduction effect, and ease of maintenance of the equipment.
[0010] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a noise reduction structure for energy storage liquid-cooled units that adapts to high wind speeds, low pressure loss, and ventilation noise reduction, comprising:

[0018] The air intake duct is equipped with a second top sound-absorbing plate and a second bottom sound-absorbing plate at the top and bottom, respectively;
[0019] Both the exhaust and intake ducts are covered with bird netting.
[0020] The device is equipped with latches and hinges on its outer casing for controlling the opening and closing of the passage door panel;
[0021] The air inlet channel is equipped with a baffle plate, which is connected to the first drain outlet and the second drain outlet to guide the condensate water out.
[0022] Preferably, both the exhaust silencer blades and the inlet silencer blades are detachable structures, and slide in cooperation with the exhaust blade mounting rail and the inlet blade mounting rail via the first slider and the second slider, respectively.
[0023] Preferably, the first top silencing plate, the first bottom silencing plate, the second top silencing plate, and the second bottom silencing plate are all trapezoidal perforated plate structures with their inclined surfaces facing the corresponding ventilation direction.

Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0041] Example
[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a noise reduction structure for a liquid-cooled energy storage unit with high wind speed and low pressure loss ventilation and noise reduction includes an exhaust duct 1, an air inlet duct 2, a support foot 3, a latch 4, exhaust noise reduction blades 5, a water baffle 6, an insert-type noise reduction module 7, an air inlet noise reduction blade 8, a hinge 9, an upper ventilation static pressure cavity 10, a lower ventilation static pressure cavity 11, and a bird net 12, etc.
[0043] The structure is an integral frame construction, employing an upper exhaust and lower air intake arrangement. Air intake duct 2 is located at the bottom of the structure, and exhaust duct 1 is located at the top, connected by a central static pressure chamber to ensure unobstructed airflow and stable airflow. The entire structure is supported on the ground by support legs 3 and equipped with leveling screws.
[0044] The left and right side panels of the structure are fixed to the hinges 9 via latches 4, enabling convenient opening and maintenance of the equipment. The hinges 9 are made of stainless steel alloy and support an opening angle greater than 90°. The latches 4 are quick-release structures, facilitating rapid operation by a single person.
[0045] The exhaust duct 1 is internally equipped with multiple sets of exhaust sound-absorbing blades 5, both ends of which are embedded in the exhaust blade mounting rail 102 via first sliders 503, allowing for insertion and installation along the rail. The exhaust duct has a first top sound-absorbing plate 502 at the top and a first bottom sound-absorbing plate 501 at the bottom, both with a trapezoidal perforated structure. Their inclined surfaces face the air outlet direction, with a slope of 30°-45° and a porosity of 25%-30%. They are filled with fiberglass wool, providing excellent airflow guidance and sound absorption performance.
[0046] The structure of the air intake channel 2 is basically symmetrical with that of the exhaust channel. The air intake silencer blade 8 is installed inside, which slides into the air intake blade mounting rail 202 through the second slider 803. The top and bottom of the air intake channel are respectively provided with the second top silencer 802 and the second bottom silencer 801. Their structure, material and tilt angle design are the same as those of the exhaust section, ensuring that the intake noise is also fully absorbed.
[0047] All silencer blades are made of galvanized perforated plate and water-repellent fiberglass wool composite structure with a thickness of 50-100mm. The spacing between the blades is about 200mm to uniformly control the duct spectral noise.
[0048] An upper ventilation static pressure chamber 10 and a lower ventilation static pressure chamber 11 are provided between the exhaust duct 1 and the air inlet duct 2. The static pressure chamber is a rectangular closed cavity structure with an internal cavity or a guide vane. Its function is to reduce wind resistance and improve ventilation stability by increasing the cross-sectional area of the airflow, reducing wind speed and backflow eddies.
[0049] Insertable silencing modules 7 are installed on both sides of the static pressure cavity. The insertable modules adopt a galvanized steel plate frame structure, the outer shell has a perforated panel, and the internal filling density is 48kg / m³. 3 The water-repellent fiberglass wool material is used to insert the module into the frame mounting hole through the guide rail and fix it with buckles, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace it individually.
[0050] The insertion-type silencer module enables the entire structure to form a four-stage coordinated airflow path of "ventilation-diffusivity-silencing-exhaust", which reduces the fan load while achieving wide-band noise reduction.
[0051] A baffle plate 6 is installed at the lower inner end of the air inlet duct 2. Its lower part is connected to the first drain outlet 601 and the second drain outlet 602 to form a condensate and rainwater diversion system. The baffle plate is made of aluminum-zinc coated sheet and is inclined at an angle of 15°. It can effectively discharge the concentrated condensate into the set discharge channel and prevent water vapor from entering the electrical appliances or sound-absorbing layer structure.
[0052] In addition, the outer sides of the inlet and outlet of the exhaust duct 1 and the air inlet duct 2 are covered with bird netting 12. The bird netting is made of stainless steel woven mesh with a mesh diameter of about 8mm. It can prevent birds, rodents and other small animals from entering the equipment without affecting normal air circulation.
[0053] In practical applications, the entire structure can be lifted and transported as a whole using the lifting ring 101 at the top. After installation, leveling can be achieved using the support feet 3, and the air inlet and exhaust side doors can be opened freely as needed for maintenance. The silencer blades can be replaced as unit modules by sliding rail insertion and removal without disassembling the overall structure, and the insert-type modules can also be disassembled individually for sound-absorbing filler replacement.
[0054] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
