Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical adjustment technology, specifically to an air outlet adjustment mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle. Background Technology

[0002] Data centers are typically equipped with hot and cold aisle systems to effectively manage and regulate the temperature within the data center. Hot and cold aisle systems usually include cold air inlets and hot air outlets to ensure that equipment within the data center operates within the appropriate temperature range.

[0003] According to a public disclosure (CN222506861U), an air outlet adjustment structure for a data center cold aisle includes a mounting plate with a ventilation duct fixedly connected to its top. The ventilation duct contains a ventilation assembly, including a turbulence mitigation plate fixed to the top and bottom of the duct's inner cavity. A motor is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the duct, and a control component is located at the motor's output end. An adjustment assembly is located on one side of the duct's interior, allowing control of the airflow direction. This invention utilizes a motor to drive a transmission rod, which in turn drives a baffle plate, thereby controlling the airflow speed. A cylinder pushes a sliding plate, which in turn moves a connecting plate, causing the adjustment plate to rotate. Combined with the turbulence mitigation plate, this allows for the even distribution of cool air to the servers.

[0004] In the aforementioned application, the air outlet direction is adjusted by driving a series of components through the operation of a motor. However, in practical applications, there are still problems with insufficient flexibility and precision in adjustment, especially when it is necessary to frequently adjust the air outlet volume of the data center's hot and cold aisles. Therefore, we propose an air outlet adjustment mechanism for data center hot and cold aisles. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, this utility model provides an air outlet adjustment mechanism for hot and cold aisles in data centers, which solves the technical problems of insufficient adjustment flexibility and inaccuracy in the prior art.

[0006] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of the present invention provides an air outlet adjustment mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle, comprising: an air outlet duct, one end of which is fixedly connected to an air outlet mounting plate, the other end of which is fixedly connected to an air inlet mounting plate, and an air outlet adjustment device provided at the top of the air outlet duct.

[0007] The air outlet regulating device includes an regulating motor, which is fixedly connected to the top of the air outlet pipe. A gear is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the regulating motor. A rotating sleeve is fixedly connected through the side of the air outlet pipe. A threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner circumferential surface of the rotating sleeve. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve. An regulating plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate. A sealing cover is fixedly connected to the side of the air outlet pipe. A limit groove is formed on the inner side of the air outlet pipe. A gear is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod away from the air outlet pipe.

[0008] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet regulating mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle further includes: a buffer connecting plate fixedly connected to one side of the regulating plate, a buffer spring fixedly connected to the side of the buffer connecting plate, and a sealing plate fixedly connected to the top inner side of the air outlet pipe. The function of the buffer connecting plate and the buffer spring is to buffer when the regulating plate contacts the sealing plate during movement, thereby reducing the impact force between the regulating plate and the sealing plate, thus protecting the overall structure of the air outlet regulating mechanism and extending its service life.

[0009] The side of the sealing plate is slidably connected to the side of the adjusting plate. Gear 1 and gear 2 mesh with each other. The number of teeth of gear 1 is less than the number of teeth of gear 2. Its function is to use the difference in the number of teeth of gear 1 and gear 2 to enable gear 1 to drive gear 2 to rotate at different speeds when the adjusting motor is driven, thereby realizing the speed adjustment of threaded rod 1.

[0010] The side of the adjusting plate is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting slide groove. The sealing cover penetrates the interior of the air outlet pipe. The inner side of the sealing cover is slidably connected to the side of the adjusting plate. Its function is to limit the movement trajectory of the adjusting plate through the limiting slide groove, so as to ensure the stability of the adjusting plate during movement. At the same time, the setting of the sealing cover can enhance the sealing of the air outlet pipe, prevent the leakage of hot and cold air during the adjustment process, and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0011] The buffer connecting plate and the buffer spring are provided in two quantities and are symmetrically distributed along the vertical central axis of the adjusting plate. Their function is to enhance the stability of the adjusting plate during movement, make the buffering effect more uniform, and further improve the stability and service life of the air outlet adjusting mechanism.

[0012] According to another aspect, at least one embodiment of this utility model also provides an air outlet regulating mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle, comprising: a cleaning filter device provided on the inner side of the air outlet duct, the cleaning filter device including a filter plate, the filter plate being fixedly connected to the inner side of the air outlet duct, a threaded rod two being rotatably connected through the side of the air outlet duct, a threaded sleeve two being threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod two, a cleaning brush being fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve two, a pulley one being fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod two away from the air outlet duct, a pulley two being fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod one away from the air outlet duct, a transmission belt being provided on the circumferential surface of the pulley two, the pulley one and the pulley two being connected by transmission belt, a limit post being fixedly connected to the bottom of the cleaning brush, and a rotating groove being provided on the inner side of the air outlet duct, the function of which is to effectively clean the filter plate, prevent the filter plate from clogging, and ensure the normal operation of the air outlet regulating mechanism.

[0013] For example, in at least one embodiment of the present invention, an air outlet regulating mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle is provided, which further includes: an inspection port is provided at the top of the air outlet pipe, and an inspection plate is attached to the inner side of the inspection port. The function of the inspection port is to facilitate the maintenance and repair of the air outlet regulating mechanism by the staff, thereby improving the maintainability and service life of the equipment.

[0014] The side of the cleaning brush is slidably connected to the side of the air filter plate. The side of the air filter plate has several round holes, which facilitate air circulation. At the same time, the air filter plate can filter impurities in the air and ensure the air quality output by the air outlet regulating mechanism.

[0015] The circumferential surface of the limiting post is slidably connected to the inner side of the rotating slide groove. The width of the rotating slide groove is smaller than the diameter of the limiting post. Its function is to limit the movement trajectory of the limiting post and ensure the stability of the cleaning brush during movement.

[0016] The air filter plate is located on the side closer to the air inlet mounting plate, and the air outlet regulating device is located on the side closer to the air outlet mounting plate. Its function is to enable hot and cold air to circulate more smoothly in the air outlet duct, thereby improving the regulating efficiency of the air outlet regulating mechanism.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model achieves precise adjustment of the airflow inside the air outlet duct through the coordinated operation of components such as the regulating motor, gear, and rotating sleeve in the air outlet regulating device. This effectively controls the airflow in the hot and cold aisles and improves the energy efficiency of the data center. Simultaneously, the inclusion of a buffer connecting plate and buffer spring not only enhances structural stability but also reduces wear between components, extending the equipment's service life.

[0018] 2. This utility model achieves automated cleaning of the air filter plate through the cooperation of components such as the filter plate, threaded rod two, and threaded sleeve two in the filter cleaning device. This avoids the problem of air outlet efficiency being affected by filter plate blockage, ensuring the stable operation of the data center. Furthermore, the inclusion of inspection ports and inspection plates facilitates daily maintenance and troubleshooting, further enhancing the reliability and ease of use of the equipment.

[0022] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit its scope.

[0023] To keep the drawings concise, only the parts relevant to the utility model are shown schematically in each drawing; these do not represent the actual structure of the product.

They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to 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] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, it illustrates an air outlet regulating mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle according to an embodiment of the present invention, including an air outlet pipe 1, an air outlet mounting plate 2 fixedly connected to one end of the air outlet pipe 1, an air inlet mounting plate 3 fixedly connected to the end of the air outlet pipe 1 away from the air outlet mounting plate 2, and an air outlet regulating device 4 provided on the top of the air outlet pipe 1.

[0029] The air outlet regulating device 4 includes a regulating motor 401, which is fixedly connected to the top of the air outlet pipe 1. The output shaft of the regulating motor 401 is fixedly connected to a gear 402. A rotating sleeve 403 is fixedly connected through the side of the air outlet pipe 1. A threaded rod 404 is rotatably connected to the inner circumferential surface of the rotating sleeve 403. A threaded sleeve 405 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 404. A movable plate 406 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve 405. An regulating plate 407 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable plate 406. A sealing cover 408 is fixedly connected to the side of the air outlet pipe 1. A limit groove 409 is opened on the inner side of the air outlet pipe 1. A gear 410 is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 404 away from the air outlet pipe 1.

[0030] In some examples, a buffer connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate 407, a buffer spring 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the buffer connecting plate 5, and a sealing plate 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner side of the air outlet duct 1. The function of the buffer connecting plate 5 and the buffer spring 6 is to buffer when the adjusting plate 407 comes into contact with the sealing plate 7 during movement, thereby reducing the impact force between the adjusting plate 407 and the sealing plate 7, thus protecting the overall structure of the air outlet adjusting mechanism and extending its service life.

[0031] The side of the sealing plate 7 is slidably connected to the side of the adjusting plate 407. Gear 1 402 and gear 2 410 mesh with each other. The number of teeth of gear 1 402 is less than the number of teeth of gear 2 410. Its function is to use the difference in the number of teeth of gear 1 402 and gear 2 410 to enable gear 1 402 to drive gear 2 410 to rotate at different speeds when the adjusting motor 401 is driven, thereby realizing the speed adjustment of threaded rod 1 404.

[0032] The side of the adjusting plate 407 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting slide groove 409. The sealing cover 408 penetrates the interior of the air outlet pipe 1. The inner side of the sealing cover 408 is slidably connected to the side of the adjusting plate 407. Its function is to limit the movement trajectory of the adjusting plate 407 through the limiting slide groove 409, so as to ensure the stability of the adjusting plate 407 during movement. At the same time, the setting of the sealing cover 408 can enhance the sealing of the air outlet pipe 1, prevent the leakage of hot and cold air during the adjustment process, and improve the adjustment efficiency.

[0033] There are two buffer connecting plates 5 and two buffer springs 6, which are symmetrically distributed along the vertical central axis of the adjusting plate 407. Their function is to enhance the stability of the adjusting plate 407 during movement, make the buffering effect more uniform, and further improve the stability and service life of the air outlet adjusting mechanism.

[0034] For example, such as Figures 1-5As shown, when the regulating motor 401 starts, its output shaft drives gear 402 to rotate. Since gear 402 meshes with gear 410, and gear 402 has fewer teeth than gear 410, gear 410 rotates at a different speed than gear 402, increasing the transmission power and making the adjustment more precise. The rotation of gear 410 further drives threaded rod 404 to rotate within rotating sleeve 403. Since the circumferential surface of threaded rod 404 is threadedly connected to threaded sleeve 405, threaded sleeve 405 moves along the axial direction of threaded rod 404. The movement of threaded sleeve 405 drives moving plate 406, which in turn drives adjusting plate 407 to move. During the movement of adjusting plate 407, its side surface slides against the inner surface of limiting groove 409, ensuring the stability of adjusting plate 407's movement. At the same time, the sealing cover 408 enhances the sealing of the air outlet duct 1, preventing leakage of hot and cold air during the adjustment process. When the adjusting plate 407 moves to contact the sealing plate 7, the buffer connecting plate 5 and the buffer spring 6 play a buffering role, reducing the impact force between the adjusting plate 407 and the sealing plate 7, thereby protecting the overall structure of the air outlet adjusting mechanism and extending its service life.

[0035] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this invention illustrates an air outlet regulating mechanism for a data center hot and cold aisle according to another embodiment of the present invention. A cleaning filter device 8 is provided on the inner side of the air outlet duct 1. The cleaning filter device 8 includes a filter plate 801, which is fixedly connected to the inner side of the air outlet duct 1. A threaded rod 802 is rotatably connected through and through the side of the air outlet duct 1. A threaded sleeve 803 is threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded rod 802. A cleaning brush 804 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the threaded sleeve 803. The threaded rod 802 is located away from the air outlet duct. One end of the duct 1 is fixedly connected to a pulley 805, and the end of the threaded rod 404 away from the air outlet duct 1 is fixedly connected to a pulley 806. A transmission belt 807 is provided on the circumferential surface of the pulley 806. The pulley 805 and the pulley 806 are connected by transmission belt 807. The bottom of the cleaning brush 804 is fixedly connected to a limit post 808. A rotating groove 809 is provided on the inner side of the air outlet duct 1. Its function is to effectively clean the air filter plate 801, prevent the air filter plate 801 from being blocked, and ensure the normal operation of the air outlet adjustment mechanism.

[0036] In some examples, an inspection port 9 is provided at the top of the air outlet duct 1, and an inspection plate 10 is attached to the inner side of the inspection port 9. Its function is to facilitate the staff to inspect and maintain the inside of the air outlet regulating mechanism, thereby improving the maintainability and service life of the equipment.

[0037] The side of the cleaning brush 804 is slidably connected to the side of the air filter plate 801. The side of the air filter plate 801 has several round holes, which facilitate air circulation. At the same time, the air filter plate 801 can filter impurities in the air and ensure the air quality output by the air outlet regulating mechanism.

[0038] The circumferential surface of the limiting post 808 is slidably connected to the inner side of the rotating slide 809. The width of the rotating slide 809 is smaller than the diameter of the limiting post 808. Its function is to limit the movement trajectory of the limiting post 808 and ensure the stability of the cleaning brush 804 during movement.

[0039] The air filter plate 801 is located on the side closer to the air inlet mounting plate 3, and the air outlet regulating device 4 is located on the side closer to the air outlet mounting plate 2. Its function is to enable the hot and cold air to circulate more smoothly in the air outlet pipe 1, thereby improving the regulating efficiency of the air outlet regulating mechanism.

[0040] For example, such as 1~ Figure 5 As shown, when the regulating motor 401 starts, it not only drives the air outlet regulating device 4 to work, but also, because pulley 2 806 is fixedly connected to threaded rod 1 404, and pulley 1 805 is fixedly connected to threaded rod 2 802, and pulley 1 805 and pulley 2 806 are connected by transmission belt 807, threaded rod 2 802 will also rotate. The rotation of threaded rod 2 802 drives threaded sleeve 2 803 to move along the axial direction of threaded rod 2 802, thereby driving cleaning brush 804 to move. During the movement, the side of cleaning brush 804 is slidably connected to the side of filter plate 801, thereby effectively cleaning filter plate 801 and preventing filter plate 801 from affecting air circulation due to blockage. At the same time, the circumferential surface of limit post 808 is slidably connected to the inner side of rotating slide groove 809, limiting the movement trajectory of cleaning brush 804.

[0041] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
