Description

An open-type cold storage tank for data center cold storage Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of refrigeration technology, and in particular relates to an open-type cold storage tank for data center cold storage. Background Technology

[0002] Among related technologies, an open-type cold storage tank for data centers, with announcement number CN209910081U, is disclosed. This device employs both conical and herringbone-shaped water distributors. The diffusers on the water distributors spray water from multiple directions against the inclined temperature layer, minimizing the impact of the outflowing water on the inclined temperature layer. Under the action of the water distributor, the water flow velocity across the entire cross-section of the cold storage tank is very slow and uniform, and the thickness of the inclined temperature layer is the same throughout the cross-section. Its structure is simple, its design is reasonable, and it is suitable for widespread use.

[0003] However, the device is not easy to clean the inner wall of the cold storage tank during use. The long-term accumulation of scale, microorganisms or impurities on the inner wall will not only cause corrosion of the inner wall of the tank and accelerate the aging of metal materials, but also cause water pollution and affect the cold storage effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an open-type cold storage tank for data center cold storage. By setting up a cleaning mechanism, it solves the problem that the device with announcement number CN209910081U is not easy to clean the inner wall of the cold storage tank during use. The long-term accumulation of scale, microorganisms or impurities on the inner wall not only leads to corrosion of the inner wall of the tank and accelerates the aging of metal materials, but also causes water pollution and affects the cold storage effect.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model is an open-type cold storage tank for data center cold storage, including a cold storage tank, and the cold storage tank is equipped with a cleaning mechanism and a pressure stabilizing mechanism.

[0007] The cleaning mechanism includes two annular grooves formed on the inner wall of the cold storage tank. The inner walls of the two annular grooves are rotatably connected to two annular blocks. The inner walls of the two annular blocks are fixedly connected to support rings. Several cleaning brushes are fixedly connected between the two support rings. The pressure stabilizing mechanism includes a tank cover connected to the top of the cold storage tank. The two support rings are fixedly connected to brackets on the sides that are far apart from each other. The outer walls of the two brackets are in contact with the cold storage tank.

[0008] Furthermore, a rotating shaft passes through the two supports and is fixedly connected to the two supports. The top of the rotating shaft extends to the outside of the cold storage tank and is rotatably connected to the cold storage tank. A motor is fixedly connected to the top of the tank cover, and the output shaft of the motor is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft through a coupling.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer wall of the cold storage tank is connected to a water inlet pipe, the outer wall of the cold storage tank is fixedly connected to several support legs, the bottom of the cold storage tank is connected to a water outlet pipe, and the bottom of the cold storage tank is connected to a sewage discharge pipe.

[0010] Furthermore, a sealing block is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cold storage tank. The bottom of the sealing block is in contact with the bracket. The rotating shaft passes through the sealing block. The outer wall of the rotating shaft is in contact with the sealing block. A spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. The top of the spring is fixedly connected to the tank cover. The bottom of the spring is fixedly connected to the sealing block. Several ventilation slots are opened on the outer wall of the tank cover.

[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. By setting up a cleaning mechanism, when in use, the inlet pipe is connected to the circulation pump to inject cold water into the cold storage tank for storage. When needed, the valve on the outlet pipe can be opened to release the stored cold water. During cleaning, the valve on the inlet pipe is closed and the motor is turned on. The motor drives the bracket to rotate through the shaft. The bracket drives several cleaning brushes and the lower support ring to rotate around the shaft through the upper support ring. The two support rings are limited by two annular grooves and annular blocks, so that several cleaning brushes continuously scrape the inner wall of the cold storage tank to achieve the cleaning effect. After cleaning, the valve on the drain pipe is opened, and the sewage will be discharged through the drain pipe, thus completing the cleaning. This allows the cleaning brushes to automatically scrape the inner wall of the cold storage tank, solving the problem of difficult cleaning of the inner wall of the cold storage tank, reducing manual maintenance costs, and ensuring the cleanliness of the inside of the cold storage tank. This not only prevents the inner wall of the tank from being corroded, but also prevents dirt from accumulating on the inner wall of the cold storage tank and affecting the contamination of the cold water.

[0013] 2. By setting up a pressure stabilizing mechanism, when water is injected into the cold storage tank through the water inlet pipe, the air pressure inside the cold storage tank will rise, thereby pushing the sealing block to rise. After the spring is compressed, it contracts, and the sealing block gradually moves to the vicinity of several ventilation slots on the tank cover, allowing the gas inside the cold storage tank to be discharged through the ventilation slots. When water injection stops, the air pressure inside the cold storage tank will gradually decrease as the gas is discharged, and the sealing block will return to its original position as the spring rebounds, thus maintaining a constant air pressure in the cold storage tank. This allows excess gas to be automatically discharged during water injection and the seal to be restored after water injection stops, thereby maintaining a constant air pressure inside the tank and avoiding tank deformation or leakage caused by excessive pressure or vacuum.

[0014] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5. This utility model is an open-type cold storage tank for data center cold storage, including a cold storage tank 1. The cold storage tank 1 is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 2 and a pressure stabilizing mechanism 3. The cleaning mechanism 2 includes two annular grooves 211 formed on the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1. The inner walls of the two annular grooves 211 are each rotatably connected to two annular blocks 212. The inner walls of the two annular blocks 212 are fixedly connected to support rings 213. Several cleaning brushes 214 are fixedly connected between the two support rings 213. The sides of the two support rings 213 that are far apart from each other are fixedly connected to brackets 215. The outer walls of the two brackets 215 are in contact with the cold storage tank 1. A rotating shaft 216 passes through the two brackets 215. The rotating shaft 216 is fixedly connected to the two brackets 215. The top of the rotating shaft 216 extends to... Outside the cold storage tank 1, a rotating shaft 216 is rotatably connected to the cold storage tank 1. A motor 217 is fixedly connected to the top of the tank cover 311. The output shaft of the motor 217 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 216 through a coupling. A water inlet pipe 111 is connected to the outer wall of the cold storage tank 1. Several support legs 112 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the cold storage tank 1. A water outlet pipe 113 is connected to the bottom of the cold storage tank 1. A sewage drain pipe 114 is connected to the bottom of the cold storage tank 1. By setting up a cleaning mechanism 2, the cleaning brush can be automatically scraped against the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1, which solves the problem of difficult cleaning of the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1, reduces the cost of manual maintenance, and ensures the cleanliness of the inside of the cold storage tank 1. This not only avoids the corrosion of the inner wall of the tank, but also prevents dirt from accumulating on the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1 and affecting the contamination of the cold water.

[0025] The pressure stabilizing mechanism 3 includes a tank cover 311 connected to the top of the cold storage tank 1. A sealing block 312 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1. The bottom of the sealing block 312 is in contact with the bracket 215. A rotating shaft 216 passes through the sealing block 312. The outer wall of the rotating shaft 216 is in contact with the sealing block 312. A spring 313 is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft 216. The top of the spring 313 is fixedly connected to the tank cover 311. The bottom of the spring 313 is fixedly connected to the sealing block 312. Several ventilation slots 314 are opened on the outer wall of the tank cover 311. By setting the pressure stabilizing mechanism 3, excess gas can be automatically discharged when water is injected and the seal can be restored after water injection stops, thereby maintaining a constant gas pressure inside the tank and avoiding tank deformation or leakage caused by excessive pressure or vacuum.

[0026] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the inlet pipe 111 is connected to a circulation pump to inject cold water into the cold storage tank 1 for storage. When needed, the valve on the outlet pipe 113 is opened to release the stored cold water. During cleaning, the valve on the inlet pipe 111 is closed, and the motor 217 is turned on. The motor 217 drives the bracket 215 to rotate via the shaft 216. The bracket 215 drives several cleaning brushes 214 and the lower support ring 213 to rotate around the shaft 216 via the upper support ring 213. The two support rings 213 are limited by two annular grooves 211 and annular blocks 212, thereby causing the several cleaning brushes 214 to continuously scrape the inner wall of the cold storage tank 1 to achieve a cleaning effect. After cleaning, the valve on the drain pipe 114 is opened, and the wastewater is discharged through the drain pipe 114, thus completing the cleaning process.

[0027] When water is injected into the cold storage tank 1 through the water inlet pipe 111, the air pressure inside the cold storage tank 1 will rise, thereby pushing the sealing block 312 to rise. The spring 313 will contract after being squeezed, and the sealing block 312 will gradually move to the vicinity of several ventilation slots 314 on the tank cover 311, so that the gas inside the cold storage tank 1 can be discharged through the ventilation slots 314. When the water injection stops, the air pressure inside the cold storage tank 1 will gradually decrease as the gas is released, so the sealing block 312 will return to its original position as the spring 313 rebounds, thus keeping the air pressure in the cold storage tank 1 constant again.
