Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of skylight technology, specifically a cold aisle full-area skylight. Background Technology

[0002] Cold aisle skylights are a common design feature in data centers or server rooms, designed to improve energy and cooling efficiency. Their main purpose is to optimize airflow within the server room, reduce the load on air conditioning and refrigeration systems, and ensure that equipment operates within a suitable temperature range.

[0003] Currently, traditional air duct skylights typically employ a flip-up or lift-up structure, which allows for air circulation between indoors and outdoors when open. However, since both flip-up and lift-up types expose half of the skylight to the outside, it is susceptible to damage from natural winds during windy weather. Furthermore, the lack of protective structures at the skylight opening makes it easy for objects to fall through the opening, and there is a risk of maintenance personnel stepping into the opening during repairs. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a cold aisle full-area skylight, which has the advantages of effectively improving the safety of skylight use. It solves the problems of current skylights being easily damaged by natural wind when opened, and the lack of a protective structure at the skylight opening, which makes it easy for objects to fall and for maintenance personnel to trip and fall.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cold aisle skylight, comprising a frame, skylight components, and connectors. The frame consists of two horizontal square tubes and two vertical square tubes. At the bottom of the horizontal square tubes, a groove is provided along its length. A spiral rod is movably connected within the groove. The two ends of the spiral rod are rotatably connected to the vertical square tubes. The ends of the horizontal and vertical square tubes are fixed to each other in a square frame shape, so that the two horizontal square tubes are parallel and opposite to each other, and the two vertical square tubes are parallel and opposite to each other. Furthermore, the two ends of the spiral rod inside the horizontal square tubes are rotatably connected to corresponding positions on the sides of the two vertical square tubes.

[0006] The vertical square tube is connected to a retractor, which is fitted with a protective net. The retractor is used to wind up and unwind the protective net. In a certain state, the protective net can cover the inside of the frame to prevent debris from falling and maintenance personnel from stepping into it.

[0007] A skylight assembly is movably connected within the frame. The skylight assembly consists of two mounting frames, with a connector movably connected between them. The connector connects the two mounting frames, enabling folding and unfolding. A glass panel is fixed inside each mounting frame. By rotating the two mounting frames on the side of the connector, they achieve vertical folding and horizontal unfolding. When folding vertically, the top surfaces of the two mounting frames are recessed downwards until they are completely flush, exposing the interior of the frame and allowing air circulation between the interior and exterior. The top surfaces of the two mounting frames move upwards from the recess until they are horizontal, covering the interior of the frame and blocking air circulation between the interior and exterior.

[0008] When using this cold aisle full-area skylight, the entire device is placed above the desired skylight slot, and the frame is fixed to the edge of the skylight slot with screws to secure the device within the slot. When opening the skylight, the motor operates, causing its output end to rotate the screw rod clockwise. This moves the knob from one end of the screw rod towards the center, and the skylight component rotates on the side of the connector and recesses downwards until the top surfaces of the mounting frames are in contact. At this point, the frame connects the indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing air circulation. When closing the skylight, the motor operates again, causing its output end to rotate the screw rod counterclockwise. This moves the knob from the center of the screw rod towards one end, and the skylight component rotates on the side of the connector and unfolds upwards to a horizontal position, covering the inside of the frame and blocking indoor and outdoor air circulation.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above scheme, motors are fixed at both ends of the vertical square tube, and the output end of the motor is fixed on the screw rod.

[0010] Through the above technical solution, the output end of the motor has the function of bidirectional rotation. During operation, the output end drives the screw rod to rotate.

[0011] When the knob is moved towards the center, the two mounting frames are recessed downwards and folded. When the knob is moved towards both ends, the two mounting frames are unfolded upwards and horizontally.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above solution, the two ends of the vertical tube are provided with stabilizing grooves, a stabilizing knob is slidably connected in the stabilizing groove, a connecting ring is rotatably connected in the stabilizing knob, and a spiral spring is fixed between the connecting ring and the stabilizing knob.

[0013] With the above technical solution, the connecting ring rotates in the opposite direction when under force, causing the spiral spring to tighten. When the connecting ring is not under force, it rotates in the forward direction to its initial state under the release force of the spiral spring.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above solution, a stabilizing sleeve rod is fixed inside the stabilizing groove, and a tension spring is movably sleeved on the side of the stabilizing sleeve rod. At the same time, the stabilizing sleeve rod is movably sleeved inside the stabilizing button, and the two ends of the tension spring are attached between the stabilizing button and the stabilizing groove.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the stabilizing sleeve is horizontally fixed in the stabilizing groove, and under the push of the tension spring, the stabilizing knob moves closer to one side of the vertical tube.

[0016] As a further improvement to the above solution, the winding component includes a winding rod, on the side of which a protective net is fixed, with one end of the protective net fixed to one side of the mounting frame.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the winding rod is used to wind up the protective net. Under the release force of the spiral spring, the connecting ring drives the winding rod to rotate in the forward direction, so as to fully wind up the protective net into the inside. At this time, the two mounting frames are horizontally unfolded. When the two mounting frames are concave downward to the folded state, one end of the protective net is pulled, so that the winding rod rotates in the opposite direction and outputs the protective net. At the same time, the spiral spring tightens.

[0018] As a further improvement to the above solution, gears are fixed at both ends of the winding rod, connectors are fixed on the gears, and connectors are fixed on the connectors. The connectors are fixed inside the connecting rings.

[0019] With the above technical solution, when the winding rod rotates, the connecting head drives the connecting ring to rotate.

[0020] As a further improvement to the above solution, a retaining mechanism is movably connected to the side of the vertical tube. The retaining mechanism includes a movable rod that is movably sleeved on the side of the vertical tube, and a retaining clamp is fixed at one end of the movable rod. The retaining clamp is engaged with the side of the gear.

[0021] Through the above technical solution, the angle of the winding rod can be fixed and released when the moving rod moves back and forth. When fixed, the winding rod cannot rotate; when released, the winding rod can rotate freely.

[0022] As a further improvement to the above solution, a limit groove is provided on the side of the moving rod.

[0023] The fixing mechanism also includes a collar fixed inside the vertical tube, with a limit rod threadedly connected to the side of the collar. The moving rod is movably sleeved inside the collar, and one end of the limit rod is slidably connected to the limit groove.

[0024] With the above technical solution, the diameter of the limiting rod matches the width of the limiting groove, and one end of the limiting rod is placed inside the limiting groove, thereby improving the stability of the moving rod's forward and backward movement.

[0025] As a further improvement to the above solution, two connecting plates are provided at both ends of the mounting frame.

[0026] The connector includes a connecting rod that is movably connected between two mounting frames, with mounting plates disposed opposite each other at both ends of the connecting rod.

[0027] A rotary knob is rotatably connected to one of the connecting plates at both ends of the mounting frame. The rotary knob is threaded to the side of the screw rod. A protruding knob is fixed to the other connecting plate and the mounting plate at both ends of the mounting frame. A connecting plate is rotatably connected to the protruding knob.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, by rotating the knob to move on the side of the screw rod, and under the connecting force of the connecting plate and the convex knob, the two mounting frames can rotate smoothly on the side of the connecting rod, achieving a folded and flat state.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a cold aisle panoramic skylight, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] 1. This cold aisle full-area skylight has skylight components that are movably connected to both sides of the connector. Under the force of the screw rod and the threaded connection on the side of the rotating knob, the mounting frame causes the glass panel to fold downwards, thus effectively solving the problem of traditional skylight opening methods being easily damaged by natural wind. In addition, the folding method can increase the size of the skylight after it is opened, thereby improving air circulation.

[0031] 2. This cold aisle full-area skylight, through the installation frame driving the glass panel to fold downwards, while the installation frame pulls the protective net to cover the inside of the frame, thus effectively preventing objects from falling and avoiding maintenance personnel from stepping into gaps. When the installation frame moves upwards to cover the inside of the frame, the protective net is retracted into the vertical square tube for protection, further improving the flexibility of equipment use.

[0052] 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. Example

[0053] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, the cold aisle skylight proposed in this embodiment includes a frame 1, a skylight component 2, and a connector 3. The frame 1 consists of two horizontal square tubes 11 and two vertical square tubes 12. At the bottom of the horizontal square tubes 11, a lowering groove 111 is provided along its length. A spiral rod 112 is movably connected in the lowering groove 111. The two ends of the spiral rod 112 are rotatably connected to the vertical square tubes 12. The two ends of the horizontal square tubes 11 and the vertical square tubes 12 are fixed to each other in a square frame shape, so that the two horizontal square tubes 11 are parallel to each other and the two vertical square tubes 12 are parallel to each other. The two ends of the spiral rod 112 in the horizontal square tubes 11 are rotatably connected to the corresponding positions on the sides of the two vertical square tubes 12.

[0054] A winding component 13 is movably connected inside the vertical square tube 12. A protective net 15 is fitted on the winding component 13. The winding component 13 is used to wind up and unwind the protective net 15. In a set state, the protective net 15 can cover the inside of the frame 1 to prevent debris from falling and maintenance personnel from stepping into the gap.

[0055] A skylight component 2 is movably connected within the frame 1. The skylight component 2 consists of two mounting frames 21, and a connector 3 is movably connected between the mounting frames 21. The connector 3 is used to connect the two mounting frames 21 to achieve folding and unfolding. At the same time, a glass panel 22 is fixed inside the mounting frames 21. The two mounting frames 21 achieve the effect of vertical folding and horizontal unfolding by rotating the sides of the connector 3. When folding vertically, the top surfaces of the two mounting frames 21 are recessed downwards until they are completely fitted together, thus folding and exposing the inside of the frame 1 to allow indoor and outdoor air circulation. The top surfaces of the two mounting frames 21 move upwards from the recess until they are in a horizontal state, covering the inside of the frame 1 and blocking indoor and outdoor air circulation.

[0056] The working principle of the cold aisle full-area skylight proposed in this embodiment is as follows: During use, the entire device is placed above the skylight slot to be installed, and the frame 1 is fixed to the edge of the skylight slot using screws, thus securing the device within the skylight slot. When the skylight is opened, the motor 127 is controlled to rotate clockwise, causing the output end of the motor 122 to move from one end of the side of the motor 112 towards the center. The skylight component 2 rotates on the side of the connector 3 and recesses downwards until the top surfaces of the mounting frame 21 are in contact with each other. At this point, the frame 1 connects the interior and exterior, allowing air circulation. When the skylight is closed, the motor 127 is controlled to rotate counterclockwise, causing the output end of the motor 122 to move counterclockwise, causing the output end of the motor 112 to move from the center of the side of the motor 112 towards one end. The skylight component 2 rotates on the side of the connector 3 and unfolds upwards to a horizontal position, covering the frame 1 and blocking the air circulation between the interior and exterior. Example

[0057] Please see Figures 1-9As shown, the cold aisle skylight proposed in this embodiment, based on the first embodiment, further includes a motor 127 fixed at both ends of the vertical square tube 12, and the output end of the motor 127 fixed on the spiral rod 112.

[0058] More specifically, the output end of motor 127 has a bidirectional rotation function, and during operation, the output end drives the screw rod 112 to rotate.

[0059] It should be further explained that the threads on the side of the screw rod 112 are designed in reverse with the center as the center. When the screw rod 112 rotates in the clockwise direction, the two rotating knobs 212 move from the two ends of the screw rod 112 toward the center. When the screw rod 112 rotates in the reverse direction, the two rotating knobs 212 move from the center of the screw rod 112 toward the two ends.

[0060] When the knob 212 is moved to the center, the two mounting frames 21 are recessed downwards into a folded state. When the knob 212 is moved to both ends, the two mounting frames 21 are unfolded upwards into a horizontal state.

[0061] Furthermore, the two ends of the vertical tube 12 are provided with a stabilizing groove 121, a stabilizing knob 122 is slidably connected in the stabilizing groove 121, a connecting ring 123 is rotatably connected in the stabilizing knob 122, and a spiral spring 124 is fixed between the connecting ring 123 and the stabilizing knob 122.

[0062] More specifically, when the connecting ring 123 is under force, it rotates in the opposite direction, causing the spiral spring 124 to tighten. When the connecting ring 123 is not under force, it is released by the spiral spring 124, causing the connecting ring 123 to rotate in the forward direction to its initial state.

[0063] Furthermore, a stabilizing sleeve 125 is fixed inside the stabilizing groove 121, and a tension spring 126 is movably sleeved on the side of the stabilizing sleeve 125. At the same time, the stabilizing sleeve 125 is movably sleeved inside the stabilizing button 122, and the two ends of the tension spring 126 are attached between the stabilizing button 122 and the stabilizing groove 121.

[0064] More specifically, the stabilizing sleeve 125 is horizontally fixed in the stabilizing slide groove 121, and under the push of the tension spring 126, the stabilizing slide button 122 moves closer to one side of the vertical tube 12.

[0065] It should be further explained that a slot is provided on one side of the vertical tube 12 along its length. The length of the slot matches the width of the protective net 15. Under the pushing force of the tension spring 126, the stabilizing slider 122 drives the winding rod 131 to move closer to one side inside the vertical tube 12, thereby pressing the side of the side-wound protective net 15 tightly against the corresponding position inside the vertical tube 12, preventing the protective net 15 from loosening.

[0066] Furthermore, the winding component 13 includes a winding rod 131, and a protective net 15 is fixed to the side of the winding rod 131, with one end of the protective net 15 fixed to one side of the mounting frame 21.

[0067] More specifically, the winding rod 131 is used to wind up the protective net 15. Under the release force of the spiral spring 124, the connecting ring 123 drives the winding rod 131 to rotate in the forward direction, so as to fully wind up the protective net 15 into the inside. At this time, the two mounting frames 21 are horizontally unfolded. When the two mounting frames 21 are concave downward to the folded state, one end of the protective net 15 is pulled, so that the winding rod 131 rotates in the reverse direction and outputs the protective net 15. At the same time, the spiral spring 124 tightens.

[0068] Furthermore, gears 132 are fixed at both ends of the winding rod 131, connectors 133 are fixed on the gears 132, and connectors 134 are fixed on the connectors 133. The connectors 134 are fixed inside the connecting ring 123.

[0069] More specifically, when the winding rod 131 rotates, it drives the connecting ring 123 to rotate through the connector 133.

[0070] Furthermore, a retaining mechanism 14 is movably connected to the side of the vertical tube 12. The retaining mechanism 14 includes a movable rod 141 movably sleeved on the side of the vertical tube 12. A retaining clamp 142 is fixed at one end of the movable rod 141 and engages with the side of the gear 132.

[0071] More specifically, when the moving rod 141 moves back and forth, it can fix and release the angle of the winding rod 131. When fixed, the winding rod 131 cannot rotate; when released, the winding rod 131 can rotate freely.

[0072] It should be further explained that by moving the moving rod 141 forward, the tooth profile on the inner side of the fixing plate 142 engages with the tooth profile on the side of the gear 132, thereby fixing the winding rod 131. By moving the moving rod 141 backward, the tooth profile on the inner side of the fixing plate 142 separates from the tooth profile on the side of the gear 132, thereby releasing the winding rod 131.

[0073] Furthermore, a limiting groove 143 is provided on the side of the moving rod 141.

[0074] The fixing mechanism 14 also includes a collar 144 fixed inside the vertical tube 12. A limiting rod 145 is threadedly connected to the side of the collar 144. The moving rod 141 is movably sleeved inside the collar 144, and one end of the limiting rod 145 is slidably connected to the limiting groove 143.

[0075] More specifically, the diameter of the limiting rod 145 matches the width of the limiting groove 143, and one end of the limiting rod 145 is located within the limiting groove 143, thereby improving the stability of the moving rod 141 moving back and forth.

[0076] It should be further explained that by rotating the limiting rod 145 in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions, one end of the limiting rod 145 can be placed inside or removed from the limiting groove 143.

[0077] Furthermore, two connecting plates 211 are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 21.

[0078] The connector 3 includes a connecting rod 31 that is movably connected between two mounting frames 21, and mounting plates 311 are provided at opposite ends of the connecting rod 31.

[0079] A rotary knob 212 is rotatably connected to one of the connecting plates 211 at both ends of the mounting frame 21. The rotary knob 212 is threaded to the side of the screw rod 112. A protruding knob 312 is fixed on the other connecting plate 211 and the mounting plate 311 at both ends of the mounting frame 21. A connecting plate 313 is rotatably connected to the protruding knob 312.

[0080] More specifically, by rotating the knob 212 to move on the side of the screw rod 112, and under the connecting force of the connecting plate 313 and the knob 312, the two mounting frames 21 can rotate smoothly on the side of the connecting rod 31 to achieve a folded and flat state.

[0081] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
