Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inter-row air conditioning technology, specifically relating to an air conditioning air supply direction adjustment structure for inter-row air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of data center scale and the improvement of server performance, the power of a single rack has increased significantly from the traditional 2-5KW to 10KW-30KW, often creating localized hotspots, which traditional air conditioning cannot precisely address. In-row air conditioners, because their size is roughly the same as the rack dimensions, can be placed directly near the racks, resulting in high space utilization. Their close-range airflow and enclosed aisle design improve cooling efficiency and allow for targeted cooling of high-density racks. Each rack can be individually adjusted and controlled, ensuring reliability. Due to these advantages, in-row air conditioners have become widely used.

[0003] Most of the air conditioning units in each row have a metal door with hexagonal air vents at the air outlet. The fan is located directly behind the door, and the fan outlet is perpendicular to the door, so the airflow is horizontal.

[0004] However, due to the diversity of computer room environments, it is often necessary for the air conditioning to supply air in a direction that is not limited to a single direction. However, most in-row air conditioning systems have a simple structure and cannot adjust the airflow direction, so improvements are needed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problem of the single air supply direction of inter-row air conditioners, which prevents airflow direction adjustment, this invention provides an air supply direction adjustment structure for inter-row air conditioners.

[0006] The air conditioning air supply direction adjustment structure for inter-row air conditioning described in this utility model includes an upper fixed plate, a lower fixed plate, and several air tongues. Both the upper and lower fixed plates are L-shaped plates, which are formed by vertically fixing a horizontal plate and a vertical plate. Several pivot holes are opened on the horizontal plate, and several mounting holes are opened on the vertical plate for installation on the air conditioning air outlet. Both ends of each air tongue are installed in the pivot holes of the upper and lower fixed plates respectively through pivots.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes several elastic rubber pads with through holes. The elastic rubber pads are fitted onto the rotating shaft of the fan tongue through the through holes. The elastic rubber pads are located between the fan tongue and the upper fixed plate, and between the fan tongue and the lower fixed plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotating shaft is a screw, and the two ends of the air tongue are provided with screw holes, with the screw and screw holes connected by threads.

[0009] Furthermore, both the mounting holes and the pivot holes are countersunk holes, while the mounting holes on the lower fixing plate are slotted holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the cross-section of the wind tongue is flat and round.

[0011] Beneficial effects: The air conditioning air supply direction adjustment structure of this utility model uses simple materials and is easy to process. After being installed in the air outlet of the in-row air conditioner, each air tongue can rotate independently, thereby allowing for individual adjustment of the air direction and achieving arbitrary adjustment of the air direction to meet the diverse requirements of the computer room environment. Moreover, the air supply direction can be adjusted by simply flicking a finger, making operation extremely simple. By setting an elastic rubber pad, the influence of axial force on the air tongue after it is fixed tightly is reduced, as well as the influence of friction on the contact surface when adjusting the angle is reduced. By using a screw as the rotating shaft, and the screw being threadedly connected to the air tongue, installation is convenient. By using countersunk holes for the mounting holes, the appearance is aesthetically pleasing. By using oblong holes for the mounting holes of the lower fixing plate, the impact of errors caused by the installation of the air tongue on the overall structural installation is eliminated. By setting the cross-section of the air tongue to be flat and round, the impact on the air supply volume is minimized. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1-3As shown, an air conditioning air supply direction adjustment structure for inter-row air conditioning includes an upper fixed plate 1, a lower fixed plate 2, several air tongues 3, and several elastic rubber pads 4. Both the upper fixed plate 1 and the lower fixed plate 2 are L-shaped plates, which are either vertically welded together from a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, or are sheet metal parts vertically bent from a steel plate and powder-coated. Several pivot holes are provided on the horizontal plate, and several mounting holes are provided on the vertical plate for installation on the air conditioning air outlet. Each air tongue 3 is mounted at both ends in the pivot holes of the upper fixed plate 1 and the lower fixed plate 2 via pivots. The pivots are screws, and the air tongues 3 have threaded holes at both ends, with the screws and threaded holes connected by threads. The mounting holes and pivot holes are countersunk holes, and the mounting holes on the lower fixed plate 2 are oblong holes. The cross-section of the air tongues 3 is flat and round (e.g., ...). Figure 3 (As shown). The above-mentioned elastic rubber pad 4 is cylindrical, with a through hole along the axis of the cylinder. The elastic rubber pad 4 is fitted onto the rotating shaft of the fan tongue 3 through the through hole. The elastic rubber pad 4 is located between the fan tongue 3 and the upper fixed plate 1, and between the fan tongue 3 and the lower fixed plate 2.

[0018] In actual installation, firstly, through holes corresponding to the mounting holes of the upper fixed plate 1 and the lower fixed plate 2 are pre-drilled on the mounting surface of the air outlet of the inter-row air conditioner. Then, the upper fixed plate 1, rubber gasket, and fan tongue 3 are arranged in a manner that aligns the pivot hole, through hole, and screw hole. Then, screws are passed through the pivot hole and through hole and screwed into the screw hole to connect them, but do not tighten them yet. Next, the fan tongue 3, elastic rubber gasket 4, and lower fixed plate 2 are connected in the same way. Then, the screws are tightened to complete the overall structure installation. Then, it is placed in the position corresponding to the air outlet of the inter-row air conditioner, and screws are passed through the mounting holes of the upper fixed plate 1 and the lower fixed plate 2 and the corresponding through holes on the mounting surface of the air outlet of the inter-row air conditioner and tightened. The installation is then complete. After that, the required fan tongue angle can be manually adjusted.

[0019] Unless otherwise specified, all technologies mentioned above refer to existing technologies.

[0020] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification.
