Machine room micro air conditioner mounting rack

Abstract

This utility model discloses a mounting bracket for a miniature air conditioner in a computer room, comprising multiple support frames. The front surface of each support frame has a mounting frame, and the inner wall of each mounting frame has symmetrical horizontally open slots. A sliding mechanism is symmetrically arranged horizontally within each slot. Based on the sliding mechanism's internal components, the spacing of multiple mounting mechanisms can be adjusted without disassembling the overall structure or using complex tools. Position adjustment is achieved simply by pushing the mounting mechanism along a sliding trajectory. After adjustment, the mounting mechanism is fixed in place by bolts within a positioning mechanism. The precise fit between the bolts and the positioning holes controls the positional deviation of the mounting mechanism within ±0.1mm, effectively preventing displacement due to vibration, external impact, or other factors. This ensures the component to be installed is always in the preset working position, guaranteeing the stability of the equipment operation. It can be adjusted according to different manufacturers and models of miniature air conditioner outdoor units, thus improving its applicability.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer room equipment technology, specifically to a computer room mini air conditioner mounting bracket. Background Technology

[0002] "With the large-scale development of data centers and communication equipment rooms, servers, switches and other equipment are densely deployed in the equipment rooms, and the heat generation per unit space is significantly increased (the power of a single rack can reach 5-10kW). Although the equipment rooms are usually equipped with large central air conditioning, local areas (such as next to high-power racks and edge computing nodes) are prone to forming 'hot spots' (temperatures exceeding 32°C may cause equipment to crash). At this time, micro air conditioners have become the core equipment for supplementing cooling due to their advantages of small size (usually 1P-2P), strong cooling targeting and flexible deployment."

[0003] The stable operation of miniature air conditioners in computer rooms is highly dependent on the support and adaptation of dedicated mounting brackets. Currently, the mainstream mounting brackets on the market still have significant technical defects. The contradiction between the single structure and the compatibility of air conditioner size is prominent. Most existing mounting brackets adopt a fixed integrated frame structure. The length of the main support beam, the spacing of the mounting holes, and the width of the load-bearing platform are all preset fixed values, without taking into account the size differences of different manufacturers and models of miniature air conditioners in computer rooms.

[0004] In view of this, a miniature air conditioner mounting bracket for computer rooms is provided to overcome the above-mentioned defects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the problems in the related technologies, this utility model proposes a miniature air conditioner mounting bracket for computer rooms to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems existing in the existing related technologies.

[0006] Therefore, the specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A miniature air conditioner mounting bracket for a computer room includes multiple support frames. The front surface of each support frame is provided with a mounting frame. The inner wall of each mounting frame has symmetrical horizontally open elongated slots. Sliding mechanisms are symmetrically arranged horizontally within each elongated slot. Mounting mechanisms are arranged between the sliding mechanisms. The front surface of each mounting mechanism is provided with a positioning mechanism. Vertical rods are symmetrically and vertically arranged on the rear side of the top surface of the mounting frame. The front surface of each vertical rod is rigidly connected to a connecting mechanism. The front surface of the connecting mechanism is provided with a protective mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a sliding groove and a sliding block. The sliding groove is horizontally opened on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the elongated opening and is symmetrically arranged. The sliding block is slidably connected in the sliding groove.

[0009] Preferably, the installation mechanism includes a movable rod and a mounting rod. The movable rod is longitudinally disposed between the sliding blocks and is rigidly connected. The top of the movable rod is connected to the mounting rod through multiple mounting components.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes an L-shaped block, a first threaded hole, and a locking bolt. The L-shaped block is rigidly disposed on the front surface of the moving rod. A plurality of first threaded holes are equidistantly provided on one side of the L-shaped block and on the front surface of the mounting frame. Locking bolts are threadedly connected between the first threaded holes.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting mechanism includes a connecting rod, a T-shaped groove, and a T-shaped block. The connecting rod is rigidly disposed above the front surface of the vertical rod, and a T-shaped groove is horizontally opened on one side of the connecting rod. A T-shaped block is engaged and connected in the T-shaped groove.

[0012] Preferably, the protective mechanism includes a protective top plate, a rotating shaft, a bushing, a connecting rod, a second threaded hole, and mounting bolts. The protective top plate is rigidly mounted on the front surface of the T-shaped block. Rotating shafts are provided on both the left and right sides of the protective top plate. A bushing is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A connecting rod is rigidly connected to the bottom of the bushing. A second threaded hole is provided on one side of the connecting rod and on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame. Mounting bolts are threadedly connected between the second threaded holes.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, this miniature air conditioner mounting bracket for the computer room:

[0015] 1. Relying on the sliding drive design of the internal components of the sliding mechanism, the spacing adjustment of multiple sets of installation mechanisms does not require disassembling the overall structure or using complex tools. Simply push the installation mechanism along the sliding trajectory to achieve position adjustment. After adjustment, the bolts in the positioning mechanism are used for limit fixation. The precise fit between the bolts and the positioning holes can control the position deviation of the installation mechanism within ±0.1mm, effectively avoiding displacement of the installation mechanism caused by vibration, external force collisions, etc., ensuring that the component to be installed is always in the preset working position, ensuring the stability of equipment operation. It can be adjusted according to different manufacturers and models of computer room micro air conditioner outdoor units, thus improving the applicability.

[0016] 2. Through a scientifically designed structure, the protective mechanism forms a stable top protective barrier after installation, effectively resisting impacts and damage from falling objects (such as falling objects, tree branches, hail, etc.) to the top of the air conditioner outdoor unit. This prevents deformation of the outdoor unit casing and damage to internal core components, extending the service life of the air conditioner outdoor unit. Furthermore, the tight fit between the protective mechanism and the mounting frame, along with the bolt limiting design, ensures the protective structure remains stable in harsh environments (such as strong winds and heavy rain), preventing displacement or detachment, further enhancing the reliability of the protection. Compared to traditional fixing methods, when maintenance, repair, or replacement of the air conditioner outdoor unit is required, this protective mechanism only requires removing the limiting bolts. The protective components can be separated from the mounting frame by adjusting the pivot, and the internal components can be released from their locking state to easily remove the protective mechanism. There is no need to damage the protective structure or the air conditioner outdoor unit; the operation is convenient and efficient. After disassembly, the protective mechanism components remain intact and can be reinstalled and reused, reducing maintenance costs and avoiding maintenance delays caused by difficult disassembly, providing great convenience for users in subsequent use.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, 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.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example

[0028] like Figures 1-5As shown, a miniature air conditioner mounting bracket for a computer room according to an embodiment of this utility model includes multiple support frames 1. A mounting frame 2 is provided on the front surface of each support frame 1. A symmetrical horizontally spaced elongated opening 3 is provided on the inner wall of each mounting frame 2. A sliding mechanism 4 is symmetrically arranged horizontally within each elongated opening 3. An installation mechanism 5 is provided between the sliding mechanisms 4. A positioning mechanism 6 is provided on the front surface of each installation mechanism 5. Vertical rods 7 are symmetrically and vertically arranged on the rear side of the top surface of each mounting frame 2. A connecting mechanism 8 is rigidly connected to the front surface of each vertical rod 7. A protective mechanism 9 is provided on the front surface of each connecting mechanism 8. The support frame 1 and the mounting frame 2 are rigidly welded together. The bottom of the support frame 1 is fixed to the computer room floor / wall using M12 expansion bolts. The bolt embedding depth is not less than 50mm to ensure that the foundation support will not shift due to the weight of the air conditioner or external forces. The elongated opening 3 on the inner wall of the mounting frame 2 is integrally stamped (of the same material and thickness as the mounting frame 2), without any splicing gaps. This ensures the structural strength of the elongated opening 3 and prevents the sliding mechanism 4 from being obstructed by edge burrs during movement.

[0029] The sliding mechanism 4 includes a sliding groove 10 and a sliding block 11. The sliding groove 10 is horizontally opened on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the elongated opening 3 and is symmetrically arranged. The sliding block 11 is slidably connected within the sliding groove 10. The symmetrical arrangement of the sliding groove 10 on the upper and lower sides of the inner cavity of the elongated opening 3 limits the movement direction of the sliding block 11, ensuring that the sliding block 11 can only move horizontally, avoiding deviation or jamming during adjustment. The inner wall of the sliding groove 10 is precision machined, with a high surface smoothness, which reduces friction between the sliding groove 10 and the sliding block 11, making the movement of the sliding block 11 smoother and reducing adjustment costs. The sliding block 11 is made of wear-resistant nylon material, which is lighter than metal material and reduces wear between it and the sliding groove 10, thus extending the service life of the sliding mechanism 4. The "gap fit" between the sliding block 11 and the sliding groove 10 ensures the flexibility of movement and prevents the sliding block 11 from shaking due to excessive gap. At the same time, the sliding block 11, as a "bridge" connecting the sliding groove 10 and the moving rod 12, has a preset threaded hole and welding fixing method to ensure a firm connection with the moving rod 12. It will not fall off due to the weight of the moving rod 12 or the adjustment force, thus ensuring the safety of the adjustment process.

[0030] The mounting mechanism 5 includes a movable rod 12 and a mounting rod 13. The movable rod 12 is longitudinally arranged between the sliding blocks 11 and is rigidly connected. The top of the movable rod 12 is connected to the mounting rod 13 through multiple mounting components. The movable rod 12, longitudinally connected between the sliding blocks 11, is made of solid round steel, which has high strength and can bear the weight of the air conditioner and evenly transfer the weight to the sliding blocks 11 and the mounting frame 2, avoiding excessive local stress that could damage the components. The longitudinal structure of the movable rod 12 can connect the two sliding blocks 11 into a whole, ensuring that the two sliding blocks 11 move synchronously during adjustment and preventing the mounting rod 13 from tilting due to unilateral movement. In addition, the mounting position on the front surface of the movable rod 12 can be fixed. The L-shaped block 14 of the positioning mechanism 6 provides a stable installation base for the positioning mechanism 6. The mounting rod 13, as the component that directly supports the miniature air conditioner, is made of square steel (the length is adapted to the width of the mounting frame 2). It has a flat surface and strong load-bearing capacity. It can be connected to the moving rod 12 through the mounting parts to provide a stable installation platform for the air conditioner. The length design of the mounting rod 13 can be adapted to air conditioners of different widths, and the mounting holes reserved on its surface (matching the fixing holes at the bottom of the air conditioner) can be directly fixed to the air conditioner with bolts without additional drilling, reducing the installation difficulty. In addition, the detachable connection between the mounting rod 13 and the moving rod 12 makes it convenient to replace the mounting rod 13 of different lengths according to the size of the air conditioner, improving the versatility of the mounting frame.

[0031] The positioning mechanism 6 includes an L-shaped block 14, first threaded holes 15, and locking bolts 16. The L-shaped block 14 is rigidly mounted on the front surface of the moving rod 12. Multiple first threaded holes 15 are equidistantly spaced on one side of the L-shaped block 14 and on the front surface of the mounting frame 2. Locking bolts 16 are threadedly connected between the first threaded holes 15. The L-shaped block 14 is formed by bending steel plate and is fully welded to the front surface of the moving rod 12. Its "right-angle structure" can simultaneously fit against both the moving rod 12 and the front surface of the mounting frame 2, providing a stable support point for positioning. The vertical side of the L-shaped block 14 has a first threaded hole 15, which can be aligned with the first threaded hole 15 of the mounting frame 2, providing an installation channel for the locking bolts 16. Furthermore, the welding fixing method of the L-shaped block 14 (the weld seam surrounds the contact circumference) ensures that it will not deform due to the tightening force of the locking bolts 16, guaranteeing the reliability of positioning. The first threaded holes 15 are located between the L-shaped block 14 and the mounting frame 2. The frame 2 features equidistant openings with uniform hole diameters, providing multiple positioning points to meet the positioning needs of air conditioners of different widths. The precise machining of the threaded holes ensures that the L-shaped block 14 can be fixed in any position without additional measurement or adjustment. Furthermore, the high precision machining of the internal threads of the threaded holes allows for a tight fit with the locking bolt 16, preventing bolt loosening and ensuring positioning effectiveness. The locking bolt 16 is galvanized (rust-proof grade ≥ 5), resisting moisture and dust in the machine room and preventing rust that could lead to disassembly or loosening. The fine thread fit (1mm pitch) between the bolt and the first threaded hole 15 provides stronger self-locking compared to coarse threads, effectively resisting high-frequency vibrations during air conditioner operation, preventing bolt loosening, and ensuring that the installation mechanism 5 does not shift after positioning. Additionally, the head of the locking bolt 16 features a hexagonal design, allowing for tightening with a conventional wrench, making operation convenient and reducing installation difficulty.

[0032] The connecting mechanism 8 includes a connecting rod 17, a T-slot 18, and a T-block 19. The connecting rod 17 is rigidly mounted above the front surface of the vertical rod 7. A T-slot 18 is horizontally formed on one side of the connecting rod 17, and a T-block 19 is engaged within the T-slot 18. The connecting rod 17, horizontally fixed above the front surface of the vertical rod 7, is made of flat steel, which is strong and lightweight, and can stably support the weight of the protective top plate 20. The "welding + reinforcing rib" method between the connecting rod 17 and the vertical rod 7 enhances the connection strength and prevents the connecting rod 17 from bending or deforming due to the weight of the protective top plate 20 or external forces. In addition, the horizontal structure of the connecting rod 17 provides a flat foundation for the T-slot 18, ensuring high machining accuracy of the T-slot 18 and its connection with the T-block. 19. The T-shaped groove 18 is opened on one side of the connecting rod 17. Its "T-shaped structure" can limit the movement direction of the T-shaped block 19, ensuring that the T-shaped block 19 can only move horizontally and will not fall out of the groove. The T-shaped block 19 and the T-shaped groove 18 adopt a "transition fit", which not only ensures the flexibility of movement, but also avoids the protective top plate 20 from shaking due to excessive gap. The T-shaped block 19 serves as the "link" connecting the connecting rod 17 and the protective top plate 20. Its welding and fixing method with the protective top plate 20 can ensure a firm connection and prevent it from falling off due to the weight of the protective top plate 20 or external force. At the same time, the T-shaped structure of the T-shaped block 19 can perfectly fit the T-shaped groove 18, preventing the protective top plate 20 from falling upward during use and ensuring protective safety.

[0033] The protective mechanism 9 includes a protective top plate 20, a rotating shaft 21, a bushing 22, a connecting rod 23, second threaded holes 24, and mounting bolts 25. The protective top plate 20 is rigidly mounted on the front surface of the T-shaped block 19. Rotating shafts 21 are provided on both the left and right sides of the protective top plate 20. Bushings 22 are sleeved on the outer walls of the rotating shafts 21. Connecting rods 23 are rigidly connected to the bottom of the bushings 22. Second threaded holes 24 are provided on one side of the connecting rod 23 and on both the left and right sides of the mounting frame 2. Mounting bolts 25 are threadedly connected between the second threaded holes 24. Made of waterproof steel plate, the surface is flat and has good waterproof performance, which can effectively prevent debris from falling onto the air conditioner surface. When the outdoor unit of the air conditioner needs to be maintained, repaired or replaced, the protective mechanism only needs to be removed by removing the limit bolts and adjusting the rotating shaft 21 to separate the protective component from the mounting frame 2. Then, the internal parts can be released from their locking state, and the protective mechanism 9 can be easily removed without damaging the protective structure or the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The operation is convenient and efficient. After disassembly, the protective mechanism 9 is intact and can be reinstalled and used. This reduces maintenance costs and avoids maintenance delays caused by disassembly difficulties, providing great convenience for users in subsequent use.

[0034] In summary, with the help of the above-mentioned technical solution of this utility model, when using this device, firstly, the two support frames 1 are fixed in the preset installation position (ground or wall) in the machine room with expansion bolts to ensure that the support frames 1 are vertical and symmetrical. Then, check whether the mounting frame 2 is horizontal. If it is tilted, it can be adjusted with shims to ensure that the mounting frame 2 is in a horizontal state. According to the position of the bottom fixing hole of the micro air conditioner to be installed, push the moving rod 12 to make the sliding block 11 slide laterally along the sliding groove 10, thereby moving the mounting rod 13 to the appropriate position. After the adjustment is completed, screw the locking bolt 16 into the first threaded hole 15 corresponding to the L-shaped block 14 and the mounting frame 2. Tighten the bolts to fix the installation mechanism 5. Place the mini air conditioner on the mounting rod 13, aligning the fixing hole at the bottom of the air conditioner with the reserved hole on the mounting rod 13. Use bolts to rigidly connect the air conditioner to the mounting rod 13, ensuring that the air conditioner is installed firmly without any shaking. Insert the T-shaped block 19 into one end of the T-shaped groove 18 of the connecting rod 17 and slide it along the groove to the position where the protective top plate 20 covers the air conditioner. Then rotate the connecting rod 23 (the bushing 22 rotates around the rotating shaft 21) to align the second threaded hole 24 at the bottom of the connecting rod 23 with the second threaded hole 24 on the side of the mounting frame 2. Screw in the mounting bolt 25 and tighten it to complete the installation of the protective mechanism 9.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
