Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of heat dissipation technology for power supply equipment, and particularly relates to a water-cooled regulation module for UPS power supply equipment. Background Technology

[0002] An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is a key device that ensures a continuous power supply. It connects a lead-acid maintenance-free battery to the main unit, where the inverter and other modules play a crucial role in converting the DC power output from the battery into AC power, the same as the mains power, providing reliable power to various electrical devices.

[0003] Heat generation is a significant issue during the operation of a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). In traditional UPS systems, internal electronic components such as inverters and rectifiers consume energy during power conversion, releasing it as heat. Especially under prolonged high-load operation, a large amount of heat is continuously generated. If this heat cannot be effectively dissipated in time, the internal temperature of the equipment will rise sharply. Excessive temperature accelerates the aging of electronic components, reduces their performance and reliability, and may even cause equipment failure, severely impacting the normal operation and lifespan of the UPS.

[0004] In contrast, under normal operating conditions, UPS generates relatively less heat, and the need for heat dissipation differs. If the same cooling method used under high load is applied in this situation, it will not only waste energy but may also cause condensation inside the equipment due to overcooling, thus damaging the device. Therefore, it is essential to adopt differentiated cooling methods for UPS systems under these two different operating conditions: prolonged high-load operation and normal operation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model embodiment is to provide a UPS power supply equipment water cooling adjustment module, so as to at least solve the technical problem in the related art that the water cooling flow rate cannot be adjusted according to different operating conditions when the UPS power supply equipment is used for water cooling heat dissipation.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution.

[0007] A water-cooled regulating module for a UPS power supply includes a plate connected to at least one end face of a heat-generating power source;

[0008] The plate has a water-cooled heat exchange chamber inside, and the water-cooled heat exchange chamber has an outlet pipe and an inlet pipe.

[0009] The water-cooled heat exchange chamber is equipped with multiple water-cooled coils arranged at equal intervals. The water-cooled coils have a serpentine tube structure, and the water outlet pipe and water inlet pipe are arranged parallel to each other in the water-cooled heat exchange chamber. The multiple water-cooled coils arranged at equal intervals are connected in parallel between the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.

[0010] A flow regulation module is installed at the connection between the water-cooling coil and the water inlet pipe, with one flow regulation module corresponding to each water-cooling coil. The flow regulation module includes a fixed plate and a rotating plate, both of which have water inlets along their central axes. The rotating plate is coaxially connected to the fixed ring. The flow regulation module also includes multiple blocking blocks, which are distributed in a circular array in the area between the fixed plate and the rotating plate. One side of each blocking block is provided with a slide rail, and the other side is provided with a guide post.

[0011] The slide block slides against the slide groove on the rotating disk, and the guide post slides against the strip hole on the fixed disk. When the rotating disk rotates relative to the fixed disk, multiple block blocks can move radially to adjust the diameter of the water passage formed by the combination of multiple block blocks.

[0012] Preferably, one side of the plate has an inlet and outlet base, and the inlet and outlet base are respectively provided with an inlet and an outlet, both of which have a flange structure;

[0013] One end of the water outlet pipe extends into the water inlet / outlet base and is connected to the water outlet; one end of the water inlet pipe extends into the water inlet / outlet base and is connected to the water inlet.

[0014] One end of the water-cooling coil is connected to the water inlet pipe, and the other end of the water-cooling coil is connected to the water outlet pipe.

[0015] Preferably, a fixing ring is integrally formed on the outer circumference of the fixed disk, and the outer circumference of the rotating disk slides against the inner ring of the fixing ring.

[0016] Preferably, the water inlet pipe is connected to multiple second branch pipe interfaces, which are used to connect to the corresponding flow regulation module. The water inlet end of the corresponding water cooling coil has a first branch pipe interface, which is connected to the corresponding flow regulation module.

[0017] Preferably, the second branch pipe interface is coaxially fixedly connected to the fixed plate, and the water inlet on the fixed plate is directly opposite the second branch pipe interface.

[0018] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating disk, and the connecting block is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear ring. The driven bevel gear ring is coaxially rotatably sleeved on the first branch pipe interface, wherein the end of the first branch pipe interface is coaxially sealed and rotatably connected in the connecting ring groove, and the connecting ring groove is set on the rotating disk; the driven bevel gear ring meshes with the driving bevel gear, and an adjusting shaft is coaxially fixedly installed on the driving bevel gear.

[0019] Preferably, a cover plate is detachably connected to the plate body by bolts, and an adjusting column is rotatably mounted on the cover plate, the number of adjusting columns being equal to the number of flow regulating modules.

[0020] Preferably, the adjusting column and the corresponding adjusting shaft are coaxially and detachably fixedly connected.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical advantages of the water-cooled regulation module of the UPS power supply equipment in this embodiment are as follows:

[0022] First, after the cold water source enters the inlet pipe through the inlet, the cold water source flows through the water-cooling coil and then enters the outlet pipe. During the flow of the cold water source through the water-cooling coil, water-cooling heat exchange is performed to reduce the temperature of the plate. The plate is in contact with the heating power source. Based on the principle of heat transfer, the heat of the heating power source will be cooled down by the plate to avoid continuous overheating of the heating power source.

[0023] Secondly, the flow regulation module independently controls the cold water flow of the corresponding water-cooled coil, adjusting the water cooling flow as needed based on different operating conditions of the heat-generating power supply. This adapts to various operating scenarios. When the UPS is running under high load, the water flow is increased to quickly remove a large amount of heat; during normal operation, the water flow is appropriately reduced to meet heat dissipation requirements while reducing energy consumption. This not only effectively ensures the stable operation of the UPS under different operating conditions but also improves energy efficiency and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 According to one embodiment of the present invention, a UPS power supply equipment water cooling adjustment module is provided, including a plate 1 connected to at least one end face of a heat-generating power supply. The plate 1 is connected to the end face of the heat-generating power supply for heat exchange, so as to perform water cooling heat dissipation on the heat-generating power supply.

[0044] The plate 1 has an inlet and outlet base 11 on one side. The inlet and outlet base 11 is provided with an inlet 13 and an outlet 12 respectively. Both the inlet 13 and the outlet 12 have flange structures. The inlet 13 is connected to an external cold water source through the flange structure, and the outlet 12 is connected to a recycling water system through the flange structure.

[0045] Furthermore, the plate body 1 has a water-cooled heat exchange chamber 3 inside, and a cover plate 14 is detachably connected to the plate body 1 by bolt connection. By removing the cover plate 14, it is convenient to maintain and replace the components inside the water-cooled heat exchange chamber 3.

[0046] Please continue following Figures 1-7 In one embodiment of the present invention, the water-cooled heat exchange chamber 3 has an outlet pipe 4 and an inlet pipe 5; wherein, one end of the outlet pipe 4 extends into the inlet / outlet base 11 and is connected to the outlet 12; one end of the inlet pipe 5 extends into the inlet / outlet base 11 and is connected to the inlet 13.

[0047] The water-cooled heat exchange chamber 3 is provided with multiple water-cooled coils 2 arranged at equal intervals. The water-cooled coils 2 have a serpentine tube structure. The water outlet pipe 4 and the water inlet pipe 5 are arranged in parallel with each other in the water-cooled heat exchange chamber 3. The multiple water-cooled coils 2 arranged at equal intervals are connected in parallel between the water inlet pipe 5 and the water outlet pipe 4.

[0048] Specifically, for one of the water-cooling coils 2, one end of the water-cooling coil 2 is connected to the inlet pipe 5, and the other end of the water-cooling coil 2 is connected to the outlet pipe 4. This allows the cold water source to enter the inlet pipe 5 through the inlet 13, and then flow through the water-cooling coil 2 before entering the outlet pipe 4. During the flow of the cold water source through the water-cooling coil 2, water-cooling heat exchange is performed to reduce the temperature of the plate 1. The plate 1 is in contact with the heating power source. Based on the principle of heat transfer, the heat from the heating power source will be cooled down by the plate 1, thereby preventing the heating power source from overheating continuously.

[0049] In one implementation, a flow regulation module 6 is provided at the connection between the water cooling coil 2 and the water inlet pipe 5. Each water cooling coil 2 corresponds to one flow regulation module 6. The flow regulation module 6 is used to independently control the cold water source flow of the corresponding water cooling coil 2, so as to adjust the water cooling flow as needed based on different operating conditions of the heating power supply.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figures 3-7 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, the provided flow regulation module 6 includes a fixed disk 65 and a rotating disk 69, and both the fixed disk 65 and the rotating disk 69 are provided with water inlets 693 along the central axis.

[0051] Among them, the outer circumference of the fixed disk 65 is integrally formed with a fixed ring 64, and the outer circumference of the rotating disk 69 slides against the inner ring of the fixed ring 64, that is, the rotating disk 69 is coaxially rotated relative to the fixed ring 64.

[0052] Multiple second branch pipe interfaces 51 are connected to the water inlet pipe 5. The second branch pipe interfaces 51 are used to connect to the corresponding flow regulation module 6. The water inlet end of the corresponding water cooling coil 2 has a first branch pipe interface 21, which is connected to the corresponding flow regulation module 6. The second branch pipe interface 51 is coaxially fixedly connected to the fixed plate 65, and the water inlet on the fixed plate 65 is directly opposite the second branch pipe interface 51.

[0053] Furthermore, the flow regulation module 6 also includes a plurality of blocking blocks 67, which are arranged in a circular array in the area between the fixed disk 65 and the rotating disk 69; one side of the blocking block 67 is provided with a slide block 671, and the other side is provided with a guide post 68.

[0054] Among them, the slide block 671 slides against the slide groove 694 opened on the rotating disk 69, and the guide post 68 slides against the strip hole 66 opened on the fixed disk 65; when the rotating disk 69 rotates relative to the fixed disk 65, multiple block blocks 67 can move radially to adjust the diameter of the water passage formed by the multiple block blocks (67), so that the water passage formed by the multiple block blocks 67 can be adjusted in size as needed to achieve flow rate regulation.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, a connecting block 691 is fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating disk 69. The connecting block 691 is fixedly connected to the driven bevel gear ring 63. The driven bevel gear ring 63 is coaxially rotatably sleeved on the first branch pipe interface 21. The end of the first branch pipe interface 21 is coaxially and rotatably connected in the connecting ring groove 692, which is provided on the rotating disk 69. The driven bevel gear ring 63 meshes with the driving bevel gear 62, and an adjusting shaft 61 is coaxially fixedly provided on the driving bevel gear 62.

[0056] Preferably, an adjusting column 15 is rotatably mounted on the cover plate 14, and the number of adjusting columns 15 is equal to the number of flow regulating modules 6, with a one-to-one correspondence between them. The adjusting column 15 is coaxially and detachably fixedly connected to the corresponding adjusting shaft 61. After the cover plate 14 is closed and fixed on the plate body 1, the adjusting column 15 can be rotated outside the plate body 1 by using a tool, thereby driving the corresponding adjusting shaft 61 to rotate. In this way, under the cooperation of the meshing driven bevel gear ring 63 and the driving bevel gear 62, the rotating disk 69 is driven to rotate a certain angle relative to the fixed disk 65, thereby adjusting the opening and closing size of the water passage to realize the flow rate of the cold water source in the corresponding water cooling coil 2.

[0057] Therefore, this utility model adapts the water flow rate of the water cooling system to various operating scenarios by adjusting the water flow rate. When the UPS is running under high load, the water flow rate is increased to quickly remove a large amount of heat; when running under normal load, the water flow rate is appropriately reduced to meet the heat dissipation requirements while reducing energy consumption. This not only effectively ensures the stable operation of the UPS under different operating conditions, but also improves energy utilization efficiency and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0058] The above solutions are merely illustrative examples of preferred embodiments, but are not limited thereto. When implementing this invention, appropriate substitutions and / or modifications can be made according to the user's needs.
