They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0028] This embodiment provides a cooling and dust removal device for computer room cabinets. Installed in the computer room cabinets, it can cool and remove dust from the cabinets, thereby protecting the internal equipment and preventing damage.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 A cooling and dust removal device for a computer room cabinet includes a cooling unit and a dust removal unit. The cooling unit is installed in the cabinet 10 and can cool the cabinet 10 when the internal temperature is too high, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment inside the cabinet 10. The dust removal unit is also installed in the cabinet 10 and can remove dust from the cabinet 10 when dust accumulates inside, so as to ensure the normal operation of the equipment inside the cabinet 10.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 The cooling unit includes a temperature sensor, a first fan 1, and a first air switch. The temperature sensor is installed inside the cabinet 10 to monitor the temperature of the cabinet 10 in real time. The first fan 1 is installed in the cabinet 10. After the first fan 1 is started, it is used to supply air to the cabinet 10. The first air switch is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the first fan 1 and is used to control the start and stop of the first fan 1.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first fan 1 is an axial flow fan.

[0032] In this embodiment, the first fan 1 is installed on the top of the cabinet 10. For example, a first ventilation opening is provided on the top of the cabinet 10, and the first fan 1 is installed in the first ventilation opening. By installing the first fan 1 on the top of the cabinet 10, on the one hand, air is delivered downwards from the top, forming a top-down airflow, which helps to cover the entire space inside the cabinet 10, ensuring that all equipment on all levels is adequately cooled; on the other hand, it reduces the possibility of dust from the ground being brought into the cabinet 10.

[0033] Preferably, the first fan 1 is located inside the cabinet 10 to prevent accidental contact or accumulation of external dust.

[0034] Furthermore, the cooling and dust removal device for the computer room cabinets also includes a control board, which enables automatic cooling. For example, the control board connects a temperature sensor to a first air switch. The control board can receive the temperature sensor's readings and control the first air switch to start and stop the first fan 1.

[0035] In this embodiment, the control board includes an analysis module and a control module. The analysis module is connected to a temperature sensor and the control module. The analysis module presets a temperature threshold, and the control module is connected to a first air switch. The analysis module receives the detection value from the temperature sensor and compares it with the temperature threshold. When the detection value from the temperature sensor exceeds the temperature threshold, the control module turns on the first air switch and starts the first fan 1 to supply air to the inside of the cabinet 10, thereby reducing the temperature inside the cabinet 10. When the detection value from the temperature sensor falls below the temperature threshold, the control module disconnects the first air switch and stops the first fan 1.

[0036] In other feasible embodiments, the first air switch can also be configured as a manual switch, which can be manually turned on or off based on the detection value of the temperature sensor. Preferably, the first air switch is installed on the cabinet door of the cabinet 10 for easy operation.

[0037] It should be noted that dust accumulation can impede air circulation, making it difficult for moisture to dissipate and resulting in persistently high humidity. Therefore, the humidity level can be used to indirectly infer the presence of dust accumulation. Thus, this embodiment includes a humidity sensor to detect the humidity inside the cabinet 10, indirectly determining whether dust accumulation exists inside the cabinet 10.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 The dust removal unit includes a humidity sensor, a second fan 2, and a second air switch. The humidity sensor is installed inside the cabinet 10 to detect the humidity of the cabinet 10 in real time. The second fan 2 is installed in the cabinet 10. When the second fan 2 is started, it is used to draw out the air inside the cabinet 10, thereby removing the dust inside the cabinet 10. The second air switch is connected in series in the power supply circuit of the second fan 2 and is used to control the start and stop of the second fan 2.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second fan 2 is an axial flow fan.

[0040] Optionally, the temperature sensor and humidity sensor are integrated components. By setting up an integrated sensor, the integration effect of the device is improved.

[0041] In other feasible embodiments, the dust removal unit may also include a particulate sensor to directly measure the number of suspended particles in the air, thereby more accurately reflecting the dust level.

[0042] In this embodiment, the second fan 2 is installed at the bottom of the cabinet 10. Optionally, a second ventilation opening is provided at the bottom of the cabinet 10, and the second fan 2 is installed at the second ventilation opening. By installing the second fan 2 at the bottom of the cabinet 10, it is convenient to perform routine inspections, cleaning, and filter replacements on the second fan 2. Optionally, a second ventilation opening is provided at the lower side of the cabinet 10, and the second fan 2 is installed at the second ventilation opening, which also facilitates routine inspections, cleaning, and filter replacements on the second fan 2.

[0043] Preferably, the second fan 2 is located inside the cabinet 10 to prevent accidental contact or accumulation of external dust.

[0044] More preferably, the air outlet of the second fan 2 is sealed with a flexible hose 3. The hose 3 is located inside the cabinet 10. On the one hand, it can prevent dust, moisture and other substances from entering the second fan 2 and extend the service life of the second fan 2. On the other hand, it can absorb and isolate the noise generated by the second fan 2 to a certain extent, thereby reducing the impact on the surrounding environment and providing a quieter working environment.

[0045] This embodiment achieves automatic dust removal by setting up a control board. For example, the control board is connected to a humidity sensor and a first air switch. The control board can receive the detection value of the temperature sensor and control the second air switch to start and stop the second fan 2.

[0046] The analysis module connects to the humidity sensor and the control module, and the analysis module presets a humidity threshold. The control module is connected to a second air switch. The analysis module receives the detection value from the temperature sensor and compares it with the humidity threshold. When the detection value from the temperature sensor exceeds the humidity threshold, the control module turns on the second air switch, starts the second fan 2 to extract the air from inside the cabinet 10, thereby removing the dust inside the cabinet 10. When the detection value from the humidity sensor falls below the humidity threshold, the control module disconnects the second air switch and stops the second fan 2.

[0047] In other feasible embodiments, the second air switch can also be configured as a manual switch, which can be manually turned on or off based on the detection value of the humidity sensor. Preferably, the second air switch is installed on the cabinet door of the cabinet 10 for easy operation.

[0048] The cooling and dust removal device for the computer room cabinet provided in this embodiment also includes a power supply, which is an uninterruptible UPS (220V AC mains power). The temperature sensor, the first fan 1, the humidity sensor, the second fan 2 and the control board are all connected to the uninterruptible UPS.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cooling and dust removal device for the server room cabinet provides the following functions: A temperature sensor continuously monitors the temperature inside the cabinet 10. The analysis module receives the temperature sensor's readings and compares them with a temperature threshold. When the temperature sensor's reading exceeds the threshold, the control module activates the first air switch, starting the first fan 1 to blow air into the cabinet 10, thereby reducing the internal temperature and achieving automatic cooling. Similarly, a humidity sensor continuously monitors the humidity inside the cabinet 10. The analysis module receives the temperature sensor's readings and compares them with a humidity threshold. When the humidity sensor's reading exceeds the threshold, the control module activates the second air switch, starting the second fan 2 to extract air from the cabinet 10, thereby removing dust and achieving automatic dust removal.

[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
