Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of wind turbine installation technology, and more specifically, it relates to a wind turbine mounting bracket, a wind turbine box, and a cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A server rack is a type of enclosure that houses servers, switches, routers, storage devices, and more. The rack incorporates internal cooling designs to dissipate heat from these devices. Typically, multiple fans are installed inside the rack, blowing air towards the equipment to expel hot gases and achieve cooling. In current technology, multiple fans are mounted on the inner wall of the rack, arranged side-by-side. The fans are directly connected to the rack wall using fasteners, but there is no connection between the fans themselves. This installation method has drawbacks: the fans are not interconnected and cannot form a unified unit; each fan needs to be individually connected to the rack, making the installation process cumbersome.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a structure in which the fan is not connected to the cabinet, but multiple fans can be connected to each other and fixed inside the cabinet, so that multiple fans can be arranged in parallel or in a row to achieve heat dissipation and cooling of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fan mounting bracket, fan box and cabinet, which aims to solve the technical problem that multiple fans need to be connected to the inner wall of the cabinet separately, and the fans cannot be connected to each other to form a whole.

[0032] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The present invention provides a fan mounting bracket, a fan box, and a cabinet. The fan mounting bracket includes a first connecting plate 1 and a second connecting plate 2. The first connecting plate 1 has a long side and a short side; the second connecting plate 2 also has a long side and a short side, with one long side fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting plate 1. The second connecting plate 2 is located at the middle of the width direction of the first connecting plate 1 and divides the first connecting plate 1 into a left half 5 and a right half 6 along its width direction. The long side of the second connecting plate 2 is in the same direction as the long side of the first connecting plate 1. The left half 5 and right half 6 of the first connecting plate 1 are respectively provided with first mounting holes 3 penetrating the thickness direction of the first connecting plate 1 near their respective ends along their long sides. The first mounting holes 3 on one or both sides of the second connecting plate 2 are used to fix and connect a fan 9. The second connecting plate 2 is respectively provided with second mounting holes 4 extending inward along its respective ends along its long side direction. The second mounting holes 4 are used to fix and connect a cabinet.

[0034] The present invention provides a fan mounting bracket, which, compared with the prior art, fixes the fan 9 on the first connecting plate 1 and fixes the second connecting plate 2 to the cabinet. When there are multiple fans 9, multiple fan mounting brackets can be used. The fans 9 can be connected to each other and the fans 9 are located between two adjacent fan mounting brackets, thus fixing multiple fans 9 and making multiple fans 9 form a whole. The installation process is simple, which facilitates the fixing of the fans 9 and improves the heat dissipation effect of the fans 9 on the internal equipment of the cabinet.

[0035] In this embodiment, there are three fans 9, and four fan mounting brackets are arranged side by side. One fan 9 is positioned between two adjacent fan mounting brackets and connected to both fan mounting brackets simultaneously. The upper and lower ends of the fan mounting brackets are connected to the cabinet, which allows multiple fans 9 and multiple fan mounting brackets to be combined into a whole. This makes it easy to fix multiple fans 9 and facilitates connection to the cabinet, eliminating the need for direct connection between the fans 9 and the cabinet. The clustering of multiple fans 9 improves the cohesion, airflow strength, and range of the airflow, thereby enhancing the cooling effect on the equipment inside the cabinet. The first connecting plate 1 and the second connecting plate 2 are both rectangular plate structures, each with a long side and a short side, with the long side being longer than the short side.

[0036] In this embodiment, the length and height of the fan 9 are the same, and the height of the fan 9 is the same as the length of the long side of the fan mounting bracket. That is, the two ends of the fan 9 are flush with the two ends of the long side of the fan mounting bracket. This facilitates the connection between the fan mounting bracket and the fan 9, as well as the connection between the fan mounting bracket and the cabinet, and also improves the appearance.

[0037] The second connecting plate 2 is connected to the first connecting plate 1 to form a T-shaped structure. The first connecting plate 1 has four first mounting holes 3, and the second connecting plate 2 has two second mounting holes 4. Two first mounting holes 3 are arranged on each side of the second connecting plate 2. The diameter of the first mounting holes 3 is the same as the diameter of the holes on the fan 9, facilitating connection between the first mounting holes 3 and the fan 9. Specifically, the first connecting plate 1 and the fan 9 can be fixedly connected using fasteners (such as screws, rivets, etc.). When multiple fan mounting brackets are used, the first mounting holes 3 at the outer ends of the fan mounting brackets located at both ends of the multiple fans 9 do not need to be connected to the fans 9 or the cabinet and can be left unused. Only the second connecting plate 2 needs to be connected to the cabinet.

[0038] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The depth direction of the first mounting hole 3 is perpendicular to the depth direction of the second mounting hole 4. This is because when the fan 9 and the fan mounting bracket are installed, their installation direction is towards one side of the first connecting plate 1, while when the second connecting plate 2 and the cabinet are installed, their installation direction is towards the long side extension direction of the first connecting plate 1. This ensures the installation direction and effect of the fan 9, hence the first mounting hole 3 is set to be perpendicular to the depth direction of the second mounting hole 4.

[0039] To reduce the weight of the wind turbine mounting bracket without compromising stability after connection with the wind turbine 9, in some embodiments, please refer to [reference needed]. Figures 1 to 4 The first connecting plate 1 has recessed grooves 7 on both sides along its long side, and the distance between the bottom ends of the two grooves 7 is greater than the thickness of the second connecting plate 2. One side of the fan 9 can be placed against the first connecting plate 1, which ensures that the fan 9 and the first connecting plate 1 form a whole after connection, thus improving the stability of the fan 9 after installation.

[0040] To facilitate the connection of the second connecting plate 2 to the cabinet and improve the stability after connection, in some embodiments, please refer to... Figures 1 to 4 The second connecting plate 2 has notches at both ends along its long side, and a cylinder 8 is embedded in each notch. The outer end of the cylinder 8 is flush with the short side of the second connecting plate 2, and the cylinder 8 is axially aligned with the long side of the second connecting plate 2. The second mounting hole 4 is a blind hole extending axially from the outer end of the cylinder 8 into its interior. By using fasteners (such as screws) to pass through the cabinet and insert into the blind hole, the second connecting plate 2 can be fixed inside the cabinet, resulting in a relatively firm fixation and improved stability after interconnection. The outer diameter of the cylinder 8 is larger than the thickness of the second connecting plate 2. The inner end of the cylinder 8 is beveled and gradually slopes towards the side of the second connecting plate 2.

[0041] To facilitate the fabrication of the fan mounting bracket, please refer to the following embodiments in some examples. Figures 1 to 4The length of the long side of the first connecting plate 1 is the same as the length of the long side of the second connecting plate 2, and it is also the same as the height of the fan 9. In this way, the upper and lower edges of the fan 9 are aligned with the two ends of the long side of the fan fixing bracket, which facilitates the fixing of the fan 9 and improves the air blowing and heat dissipation effect of the fan 9.

[0042] This utility model also provides a fan box, please refer to Figures 5-8 It includes a front housing 10, a rear housing 11 and a front panel 12 that are interconnected to form a closed structure, and also includes a plurality of fans 9 disposed inside the closed structure and fan mounting brackets as described above for connecting the fans 9. The second mounting holes 4 at both ends of the fan mounting brackets are used to connect the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 respectively, and the front housing 10 and / or the rear housing 11 are used to fix and connect to the inner wall of the cabinet.

[0043] The beneficial effects of the fan box provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, the fan 9 is fixedly installed inside the fan box, and the air blown by the fan 9 is discharged through the front panel 12, thereby cooling the equipment inside the cabinet. The fan box and the cabinet are easy to connect and fix, so the fan 9 does not need to be directly connected to the cabinet. Moreover, the installation position of the fan box inside the cabinet can be flexibly adjusted according to the needs. The installation process is simple, which facilitates the fixing of the fan 9 and improves the cooling effect of the fan 9 on the equipment inside the cabinet.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 5-8 In this configuration, the front housing 10 is located at the bottom, and the rear housing 11 is located at the top. The fan 9 and its mounting bracket form a fan assembly, positioned between the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11, near the front panel 12. The fan 9 blows air towards the front panel 12, exiting through it and then directing airflow towards the equipment for air cooling. The second connecting plate 2 connects the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 at both ends, securing the fan 9 between them. The fan 9 blows air along the length of either the front housing 10 or the rear housing 11.

[0045] Specifically, the front housing 10 has a U-shaped structure, and the rear housing 11 has an inverted U-shaped structure. The two are combined and connected to form a semi-enclosed structure with a closed chamber inside, which can accommodate the fan components.

[0046] To facilitate power supply to the fan 9, please refer to the following embodiments in some cases. Figures 5 to 8A power terminal block 13 is connected to the side of the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11 away from the front panel 12. The power terminal block 13 is used for electrical connection to the fan 9. Since the power terminal block 13 can be electrically connected to the fan 9, it can supply power to multiple fans 9, maintaining their operation. The power terminal block 13 can be connected to the wiring terminals of the cabinet, thereby supplying power to the fan 9. The power terminal block 13 and the fan 9 can be connected via a wiring harness, which passes through the space between the front housing 10 and the rear housing 11, i.e., inside the fan housing.

[0047] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The preamplifier housing 10 and the reamplifier housing 11 are interconnected to form a semi-enclosed structure with one side open. Multiple third mounting holes 14 are provided at the ends of the preamplifier housing 10 and the reamplifier housing 11 that are close to each other. The preamplifier housing 10 and the reamplifier housing 11 are detachably connected by fasteners installed in the third mounting holes 14. To achieve the interconnection between the preamplifier housing 10 and the reamplifier housing 11, the multiple spaced third mounting holes 14 are aligned or overlapped during installation, allowing fasteners to pass through and thus securing the preamplifier housing 10 and the reamplifier housing 11 together.

[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 5 to 8 The front panel 12 is connected to the open side of the semi-enclosed structure. Multiple fourth mounting holes 15 are provided at the end of the front panel 12 near the pre-stage housing 10 and the rear-stage housing 11. The front panel 12 is detachably connected to the pre-stage housing 10 and the rear-stage housing 11 respectively via fasteners installed in the fourth mounting holes 15. The front panel 12 has a vent 16, and the air outlet of the fan 9 blows air towards the vent 16, with the blown air exiting from the vent 16. It should be noted that multiple fourth mounting holes 15 are also provided on the pre-stage housing 10 and the rear-stage housing 11 near the end of the front panel 12. During assembly, aligning or overlapping the fourth mounting holes 15 on the pre-stage housing 10 and the rear-stage housing 11 with the fourth mounting holes 15 on the front panel 12 allows the fasteners to pass through, thereby fixing the front panel 12 to the pre-stage housing 10 and the rear-stage housing 11, achieving a fixed connection between them. With the air outlet of the fan 9 facing the vent 16, the air can pass through the vent 16 and be discharged from the fan box, until it blows onto the equipment inside the cabinet, thus achieving heat dissipation and cooling of the equipment inside the cabinet. Since there are three sets of fans 9 arranged in parallel, there are also three sets of vents 16 arranged in parallel on the front panel 12. Each set of vents 16 is also circular and includes multiple elongated through holes passing through the front panel 12.

[0049] Preferably, handles 17 are provided on the outer side of the front panel 12 near both ends. The handles 17 can be used for manual handling, which facilitates the installation of the front panel 12.

[0050] This utility model also provides a cabinet, including a cabinet body and a fan box as described above. The fan box is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the cabinet body, and the air outlet of the fan 9 faces the equipment inside the cabinet body to dissipate heat and cool the equipment.

[0051] The beneficial effects of the cabinet provided by this utility model are as follows: Compared with the prior art, by setting a fan box inside the cabinet, and setting multiple fans 9 inside the fan box, and the fan box can be flexibly adjusted in position inside the cabinet, and the fans 9 are easy to fix, it is convenient to dissipate heat and cool down the equipment inside the cabinet, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
