[0002] An air conditioning system is a device that uses artificial means to partially or completely regulate the temperature, humidity, airflow, and cleanliness of air in a closed space, enabling the air parameters of a target environment to meet requirements. With the widespread application of air conditioning systems, the air conditioning cabinet, as a core component of air conditioning, directly affects air delivery efficiency, noise control, and energy consumption performance through its structural design.

[0003] Traditional air conditioning cabinets typically use metal or plastic air guide plates. The air duct design of metal or plastic air guide plates is relatively simple, and the airflow is prone to turbulence, which affects the uniformity of air delivery. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the existing technology and provide an air conditioning cabinet with a lightweight air guiding structure.

[0005] One embodiment of this utility model provides an air conditioning cabinet with a lightweight air guiding structure, comprising:

[0006] A server rack, wherein an inner cavity is provided on the server rack and a first air inlet is provided on one side of the inner cavity;

[0007] A volute is disposed within the inner cavity. Air inlet channels are formed between the two sides of the volute and the inner wall of the inner cavity. A windward side is formed on the side of the volute facing the first air inlet. A volute chamber is disposed inside the volute. A second air inlet is disposed on both sides of the volute chamber. The two second air inlets are located on both sides of the windward side and are connected to the air inlet channels.

The first air-guiding arc gradually approaches the air inlet channel in a direction away from the first air inlet. The first corner air guides are located in the air inlet channel and are located on the side of the second air inlet away from the first air inlet. A second air-guiding arc is provided on the side of the first corner air guide facing the first air inlet, and the second air-guiding arc is arranged in a direction surrounding the second air inlet.

[0010] In some optional embodiments, a first fixing slot is provided at the corner of the air inlet channel, and a first fixing part is provided on the first corner air guide, the first fixing part engaging with the first fixing slot.

[0011] In some optional embodiments, a first sealing sponge is provided in the first fixing slot, and the first sealing sponge presses against the corner of the first fixing slot and the first fixing part respectively.

[0012] In some alternative embodiments, the first fixing part is provided with a first sealing groove, and the first sealing sponge is positioned and engaged with the first sealing groove.

[0013] In some optional embodiments, the lightweight air guide structure further includes two second corner air guides, which are also made of EPP material.

[0030] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides an air conditioning cabinet with a lightweight air guiding structure, comprising: cabinet 10, volute 20, fan assembly 30 and lightweight air guiding structure;

[0031] The cabinet 10 is provided with an inner cavity 11, and a first air inlet 12 is provided on one side of the inner cavity 11;

[0032] The volute 20 is disposed inside the inner cavity 11. Air inlet channels 21 are formed between the two sides of the volute 20 and the inner wall of the inner cavity 11. The side of the volute 20 facing the first air inlet 12 forms a windward side. A volute chamber is disposed inside the volute 20. A second air inlet 22 is disposed on both sides of the volute chamber. The two second air inlets 22 are located on both sides of the windward side. The second air inlets 22 are connected to the air inlet channels 21. The volute chamber is also provided with an air outlet (not shown in the figure).

[0033] The fan assembly 30 is located at the volute 20;

[0034] The lightweight air guiding structure includes a windward air guide 41 and two first corner air guides 42. Both the windward air guide 41 and the first corner air guides 42 are air guides made of EPP material. The windward air guide 41 is located on the windward side. A first air guiding arc 411 is formed on the side of the windward air guide 41 facing the first air inlet 12. The first air guiding arc 411 gradually approaches the air inlet channel 21 in the direction away from the first air inlet 12. The first corner air guide 42 is located in the air inlet channel 21 and is located on the side of the second air inlet 22 away from the first air inlet 12. A second air guiding arc 421 is provided on the side of the first corner air guide 42 facing the first air inlet 12. The second air guiding arc 421 is arranged in the direction surrounding the second air inlet 22.

[0035] After the fan assembly 30 is started, airflow can enter the inner cavity 11 from the first air inlet 12, and then be guided by the first guide arc 411 of the windward guide 41 into the two air inlet channels 21. Next, the airflow enters the volute chamber from the second air inlet 22, and then is blown out from the air outlet of the volute chamber. The second guide arc 421 can guide the airflow towards the second air inlet 22.

[0036] EPP material has high plasticity, which makes it easy to design the structure of the windward guide 41 and the two first corner guides 42 according to the airflow direction, thereby optimizing the airflow path, reducing turbulence and reducing wind resistance; in addition, EPP material is elastic, and the windward guide 41 and the two first corner guides 42 can effectively absorb the airflow impact, reduce vibration transmission and reduce operating noise.

[0037] In some optional embodiments, a first fixing groove 13 is provided at the corner of the air inlet channel 21, and a first fixing part 422 is provided on the first corner air guide 42. The first fixing part 422 engages with the first fixing groove 13. Since the EPP material is elastic, the first fixing part 422 is also elastic, so the first fixing part 422 can be stably engaged with the first fixing groove 13, thereby facilitating the fixation of the first corner air guide 42 using its own elasticity. The first corner air guide 42 can also use its own elasticity to fit tightly against the inner wall of the inner cavity 11, thereby reducing gaps. For example, the first corner air guide 42 can be interference-fitted with the air inlet channel 21, which helps to reduce gaps.

[0038] The specific structure of the fan assembly 30 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the fan assembly 30 includes a motor and a fan wheel. The fan wheel is rotated in the volute chamber, and the motor is located on one side of the volute 20 and in the air inlet channel 21. The motor is connected to the fan wheel drive.

[0039] In some optional embodiments, a first sealing sponge 14 is provided in the first fixing groove 13. The first sealing sponge 14 presses against the corners of the first fixing groove 13 and the first fixing part 422 respectively. The first sealing sponge 14 improves the sealing between the inner wall of the first fixing groove 13 and the first fixing part 422, thereby preventing airflow from flowing between the first fixing part 422 and the inner wall of the first fixing groove 13. Since the corners of the air intake channel 21 are usually the connection points between adjacent panels of the cabinet 10, they usually have gaps. For example, in this embodiment, the cabinet 10 includes a top plate (not shown), a bottom plate 15, and multiple side plates 16. The top plate, bottom plate 15, and multiple side plates 16 enclose an inner cavity 11. The first air inlet 12 is disposed on one of the side plates 16. The first fixing groove 13 is formed at the connection point of adjacent side plates 16. Therefore, the gap between adjacent side plates 16 is located in the first fixing groove 13. The first sealing sponge 14 abuts against two adjacent side plates 16 respectively. The first sealing sponge 14 prevents airflow from passing through the gap between the first fixing part 422 and the side plate 16 and prevents airflow from leaking out from the gap between adjacent side plates 16.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, a first sealing groove 423 is provided on the first fixing part 422, and the first sealing sponge 14 is positioned and engaged with the first sealing groove 423, thereby improving the installation stability of the first sealing sponge 14.

[0041] In some optional embodiments, the lightweight air guide structure also includes two second corner air guides 43, which are also air guides made of EPP material. The two second corner air guides 43 are respectively disposed on both sides of the first air inlet 12. The second corner air guides 43 are provided with air guide slopes 431. The two air guide slopes 431 gradually move away from each other in the direction away from the first air inlet 12. After the airflow enters the inner cavity 11 from the first air inlet 12, the airflow passes between the air guide slopes 431 and the first air guide arc 411 and enters the air inlet channel 21. The air guide slopes 431 and the first air guide arc 411 can cooperate to guide the movement of the airflow and optimize the airflow path.

[0042] In some optional embodiments, second fixing slots 17 are respectively provided on both sides of the first air inlet 12. The second corner air guide 43 is engaged with the second fixing slots 17. Since the EPP material is elastic, the second corner air guide 43 is also elastic, so the second corner air guide 43 can be stably engaged with the second fixing slots 17, thereby facilitating the fixation of the second corner air guide 43 by utilizing its own elasticity. Preferably, the second corner air guide 43 is interference-fitted with the inner cavity 11, and the second corner air guide 43 can also use its own elasticity to fit tightly against the inner wall of the inner cavity 11, thereby reducing gaps.

[0043] In some optional embodiments, a second sealing sponge 18 is provided in the second fixing slot 17. The second sealing sponge 18 presses against the corners of the second fixing slot 17 and the corner air guide 43 respectively. The second sealing sponge 18 improves the sealing between the inner wall of the second fixing slot 17 and the second fixing part, thereby preventing airflow from flowing between the second corner air guide 43 and the inner wall of the second fixing slot 17. Since the corner of the first air inlet 12 is usually the connection point between adjacent panels of the cabinet 10, there is usually a gap. For example, in this embodiment, the cabinet 10 includes a top plate (not shown), a bottom plate 15 and a plurality of side plates 16. The top plate, bottom plate 15 and the plurality of side plates 16 enclose an inner cavity 11. The first air inlet 12 is disposed on one of the side plates 16. The second fixing slot 17 is formed at the connection point of adjacent side plates 16. Therefore, the gap between adjacent side plates 16 is located in the second fixing slot 17. The second sealing sponge 18 abuts against two adjacent side plates 16 respectively. The second sealing sponge 18 prevents airflow from passing through the gap between the second corner air guide 43 and the side plate 16 and prevents airflow from leaking out from the gap between adjacent side plates 16.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, a second sealing groove 432 is provided on the second corner air guide 43, and the second sealing sponge 18 is positioned and engaged with the second sealing groove 432, thereby improving the installation stability of the second sealing sponge 18.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, multiple noise reduction holes 412 are evenly arranged on the air guide slope 431, the first air guide arc 411, and the second air guide arc 421. The noise reduction holes 412 are beneficial for achieving noise reduction.

[0046] 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.
