Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of computer room equipment technology, and in particular to a louvered box-type temperature and humidity probe protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of thermal management of data centers and communication equipment rooms, emergency handling of local overheating and energy-saving cooling are important management targets. Existing technologies typically use temperature and humidity sensors to monitor the temperature and humidity of the equipment room and protect the sensors through relevant protective devices.
[0003] However, the sensor protection devices commonly used in computer room temperature and humidity monitoring currently have significant shortcomings. Existing sealed enclosures are prone to internal heat buildup, leading to inflated measurements; while open or ordinary louvered designs, although providing ventilation, cannot effectively block strong airflows from air conditioning vents, causing the probe to measure the local temperature of the airflow rather than the true ambient temperature, resulting in distorted measurement data. Whether it's a weather louvered box focused on radiation protection or an outdoor protective box focused on equipment heat dissipation, their design is ill-suited to the special environment of a computer room with intense, directional airflow disturbances, failing to achieve balanced heat exchange with the ambient air while shielding against disturbances.
[0004] Therefore, how to ensure that the protective device protects the sensor while avoiding affecting the sensor's measurement operation has become a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0052] Currently, data center equipment has very high requirements for temperature and humidity. Therefore, many temperature and humidity sensors are installed in data centers to monitor the temperature and humidity, and then adjust the air conditioning settings to control the temperature and humidity of the data center. However, because the existing temperature and humidity sensors are equipped with sealed housings, and the top cover and base are in close contact with the probe, the temperature collected by the probe often exceeds the actual ambient temperature of the data center due to heat buildup inside the housing; or the cold air blown directly from the air conditioner onto the housing makes the temperature of the housing and probe closer to the air conditioner's outlet temperature than the ambient temperature of the data center. This results in a significant error between the collected data and the actual value, making it impossible for data center managers to accurately determine the actual temperature inside the data center and make accurate judgments. In severe cases, this could lead to safety accidents.
[0053] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes a louvered protective cover for a temperature and humidity probe that prevents airflow disturbance.
[0054] Figures 1 to 4 The images shown are a structural schematic diagram, another structural schematic diagram, a cross-sectional view, and an exploded view of the louvered box-type temperature and humidity probe protective cover provided in this application embodiment. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this application provides a louvered box-type temperature and humidity probe protective cover, the protective cover including: a mounting base 10, a louvered sidewall 20 and a protective top cover 30 arranged sequentially from bottom to top; the above structures are connected to each other by protrusions and grooves, forming small gaps between them, allowing air to flow slowly through natural convection, but not affected by violent fluctuations in external airflow.
[0055] In this application, the mounting base 10, the louvered sidewall 20, and the protective top cover 30 are respectively provided with a first louvered windbreak wall 12, a second louvered windbreak wall 21, and a third louvered windbreak wall 32. The first louvered windbreak wall 12, the second louvered windbreak wall 21, and the third louvered windbreak wall 32 have the same size, and each louvered windbreak wall includes a heat insulation structure composed of four interconnected and inwardly inclined heat insulation baffles.
[0056] In some embodiments, the angle between the heat insulation baffle and the plane of the mounting base plate 11 is 60° to 75°.
[0057] In some embodiments, the second louvered windbreak wall 21 includes at least two sets of thermal insulation structures.
[0058] Figures 5 to 7 The following are schematic diagrams of the mounting base provided in the embodiments of this application from different perspectives, such as... Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the mounting base 10 includes a mounting base plate 11, a first louvered windbreak wall 12, mounting protrusions 13, and a probe motherboard fixing bracket 14. The first louvered windbreak wall 12, the mounting protrusions 13, and the probe motherboard fixing bracket 14 are all fixedly mounted on the mounting base plate 11.
[0059] Specifically, the mounting base 11 is a rectangular heat-insulating thin plate. Its main function is to fix the protective cover along with the temperature and humidity probe at the required installation position and to prevent heat or airflow from the bottom equipment from flowing into the protective cover. The size of the mounting base 11 is slightly larger than the louvered sidewall 20. This has the advantage of preventing airflow from the bottom equipment from flowing into the protective cover; the material is heat-insulating to prevent heat from the bottom equipment from entering the protective cover.
[0060] In some embodiments, the mounting base plate 11 is further provided with mounting holes 15, which are located on the outer side of the first louvered windbreak wall 12.
[0061] Specifically, the mounting base plate 11 has four mounting holes 15 at its four corners, which makes it easy to fix the mounting base plate 11 to the required installation position with bolts or straps.
[0062] In some embodiments, the projections of the mounting protrusion 13 and the probe motherboard mounting bracket 14 on the mounting base plate 11 are located inside the projection of the first louvered windbreak wall 12 on the mounting base plate 11.
[0063] Specifically, a first louvered windbreak wall 12 is fixed inwards from the mounting hole 15 on the top of the mounting base 10. Its size is equal to that of the louvered side wall 20. It consists of four interconnected and inwardly inclined heat insulation baffles (the inclination angle ranges from 60° to 75° with the plane of the mounting base 11). Its main function is to form a small gap with the second louvered windbreak wall 21 above, allowing air to flow slowly through natural convection, but preventing strong airflow from directly entering the protective cover.
[0064] The four corners of the first louvered windbreak wall 12 on the top of the mounting base plate 11 are fixed with four mounting protrusions 13, which are four small protruding cylinders. Their function is to fix the mounting base plate 11 and the second louvered windbreak wall 21 together by nesting the mounting protrusions 13 with the bottom groove of the fixing bracket 22.
[0065] In some embodiments, the probe motherboard mounting bracket 14 includes a first cylinder fixedly connected to the mounting base plate 11 and a second cylinder fixedly connected to the first cylinder, wherein the diameter of the second cylinder is smaller than the diameter of the first cylinder.
[0066] Specifically, four probe mainboard mounting brackets 14, or four protrusions, are fixed at the four corners of the top of the mounting base plate 11 with the protrusions 13 facing inward. Each protrusion is a cylinder of two different sizes. The lower first cylinder has a slightly larger diameter and is fixed to the top of the mounting base plate 11. The upper second cylinder has a slightly smaller diameter and is fixed to the lower first cylinder. Its main function is to fix the four holes on the temperature and humidity probe mainboard by nesting them in the smaller cylinder. The larger cylinder below ensures that there is a certain gap between the temperature and humidity probe mainboard and the mounting base, preventing the bottom device from transferring heat to the temperature and humidity probe through the heat conduction principle, thereby affecting the measurement accuracy.
[0067] Figures 8 to 12 The following are schematic diagrams of the louvered sidewall provided in the embodiments of this application from different perspectives, as shown below. Figures 8 to 12 As shown, the louver sidewall 20 includes a second louver windbreak wall 21 and a fixed bracket 22, with the second louver windbreak wall 21 surrounding the fixed bracket 22;
[0068] In some embodiments, the top of the fixing bracket 22 is provided with a third cylinder, and the bottom of the fixing bracket 22 is provided with a first cylindrical groove, and the size of the first cylindrical groove is adapted to the size of the mounting protrusion 13.
[0069] Specifically, the second louvered windbreak wall 21 surrounds the four fixed supports 22. Its main function is to adjust the longitudinal height of the protective cover and ensure the ventilation of the protective cover and prevent strong airflow from directly entering the protective cover. Each set of second louvered windbreak walls 21 consists of four interconnected and inwardly inclined heat insulation baffles (the inclination angle is 60°-75° with the plane of the mounting base 11). Multiple sets of second louvered windbreak walls 21 are stacked together, forming gaps between each other, and also forming gaps with the mounting base 10 below and the protective top cover 30 above. Its main function is to allow air to flow slowly through natural convection, but without being affected by violent fluctuations in external airflow. If necessary, the longitudinal height of the protective cover can be adjusted by connecting protrusions and grooves on one of the louvered side walls 20.
[0070] The four inner corners of the second louvered windbreak wall 21 are fixed with four fixed brackets 22, namely four protrusions. Each protrusion has a hollowed-out cuboid below and a slightly smaller third cylinder above. The bottom of the cuboid has a first cylindrical groove. The size of the first cylindrical groove is equal to the mounting protrusion 13 of the mounting base 10. Its main function is to nest and connect with the mounting protrusion 13 of the mounting base 10 to fix the mounting base plate 11 and the second louvered windbreak wall 21 together.
[0071] In addition, the third cylinder above can be set to be exactly the same as the mounting protrusion 13 of the mounting base 10. Its main function is to nest and connect with the fixing groove 33 of the protective top cover 30, so as to fix the protective top cover 30 and the second louvered windbreak wall 21 together.
[0072] Figures 13 to 16 These are schematic diagrams of the protective top cover provided in the embodiments of this application from different perspectives, as shown below. Figures 13 to 16 As shown, the protective top cover 30 includes a top plate 31, a third louvered windbreak wall 32, and a fixing groove 33. The third louvered windbreak wall 32 and the fixing groove 33 are both fixedly installed on the top plate 31.
[0073] In some embodiments, the projection of the fixing groove 33 on the top plate 31 is located inside the projection of the third louvered windbreak wall 32 on the top plate 31.
[0074] In some embodiments, a second cylindrical groove is provided at the bottom of the fixing groove 33, and the size of the second cylindrical groove is adapted to the size of the third cylinder.
[0075] Specifically, the protective top cover 30 mainly includes a top plate 31, a third louvered windbreak wall 32, and fixing grooves 33. The third louvered windbreak wall 32 has four fixing grooves 33 on its four inner corners, and the top plate 31 is fixed to its top. The main function of the protective top cover 30 is to prevent direct airflow and dust from entering the protective cover.
[0076] The third louvered windbreak wall 32 consists of four interconnected and inwardly inclined heat insulation baffles (the inclination angle ranges from 60° to 75° with the plane of the mounting base plate 11). Its main function is to form a gap with the louvered sidewall 20, allowing air to flow slowly through natural convection, but without being affected by violent fluctuations in external airflow.
[0077] The fixing groove 33 is a cuboid with a second cylindrical groove at the bottom. The size of the second cylindrical groove is equal to that of the third cylinder on the top of the fixing bracket 22 of the louver sidewall 20. Its main function is to nest and connect with the third cylinder of the fixing bracket 22 of the louver sidewall 20 to fix the protective top cover 30 and the second louver windbreak wall 21 together.
[0078] The top plate 31 is a rectangular heat insulation thin plate. Its main function is to prevent the direct airflow and dust from the top of the protective cover from entering the protective cover, and to fix the third louvered windproof wall 32 and the fixing groove 33.
[0079] This application provides a three-section, modular louvered box-type temperature and humidity probe protective cover consisting of a mounting base, louvered sidewalls, and a protective top cover, which has the following advantages:
[0080] 1. Base section: It adopts a heat-insulating base plate and a lifting fixing frame to block heat conduction at the bottom;
[0081] 2. Side wall section: Composed of multiple layers of inwardly inclined louvered windbreaks, this is the core innovation, which can effectively deflect strong airflow while allowing natural air convection;
[0082] 3. Top cover section: integrates louvers and dustproof top plate to prevent disturbance at the top.
[0083] Each section is connected by nested protrusions and grooves to form a uniform and controllable ventilation gap, which can provide a measurement environment that shields the temperature and humidity probe from airflow disturbances and has a balanced heat exchange. This ensures that the protective device protects the sensor while avoiding any impact on the sensor's measurement operation.
[0084] This application utilizes a labyrinthine louver structure that shields against strong airflow while still allowing slow natural convection to create a stable microenvironment for the temperature and humidity probe, unaffected by external direct airflow. This ensures that the measured values can accurately reflect the overall ambient temperature and humidity of the computer room, thus providing a reliable data foundation for precise temperature control in the computer room.
[0085] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of this application, and this application is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and substance of this application, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this application.
