Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cold aisle technology for data centers, specifically an independent automatic reset flip-up skylight. Background Technology

[0002] Flip-up skylights are typically used at the top of enclosed cold aisles in data centers to ensure energy-efficient operation. In addition, in emergencies such as fires, the skylights receive fire signals and automatically flip open to allow fire suppression gases to enter the enclosed aisle and assist the fire suppression system in extinguishing the fire.

[0003] Currently, there are two types of tilting sunroofs on the market: one type opens automatically and closes manually; the other type opens automatically and closes automatically (also known as reset). Manually reset sunroofs are gradually being abandoned by the market due to inconvenient maintenance. Most existing automatic reset sunroofs use a longitudinal linkage structure, where multiple tilting sunroofs are connected to a single drive motor, which drives the longitudinal linkage to close all the sunroofs. While this approach is relatively economical, its drawback is that if the drive motor fails or a part of the longitudinal linkage jams, all tilting sunroofs will fail to close completely, causing a significant loss of cool air from the enclosed passage and wasting energy. Some tilting sunroofs use a motor-driven round steel push rod to achieve the automatic reset function. In this method, the round steel push rod is prone to slippage during transmission, and problems such as the push rod affecting the secondary opening of the sunroof after it has closed completely are also present.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention proposes an independent automatic reset flip-up skylight. Each skylight is equipped with an independent reset component, which is tightly connected with irregularly shaped holes and equipped with a motor rotation position sensor to ensure precise control of the forward and reverse rotation positions of the reset motor. In the cold aisle system, the reset of each flip-up skylight does not interfere with each other, and it also supports parallel expansion and is not limited by the computer room columns and irregular aisle layouts, thus meeting diverse computer room usage scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this section is to outline some aspects of embodiments of the present invention and to briefly describe some preferred embodiments. Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

Manually reset sunroofs are gradually being abandoned by the market due to inconvenient maintenance. Most existing automatic reset sunroofs use a longitudinal linkage structure, where multiple tilting sunroofs are connected to a single drive motor, which drives the longitudinal linkage to close all the sunroofs. Although this approach is relatively economical, its disadvantage is that if the drive motor fails or a part of the longitudinal linkage jams, all tilting sunroofs will fail to close completely, causing a large amount of cold air to escape from the enclosed passage and wasting energy. Some tilting sunroofs also use a motor-driven round steel push rod to achieve the automatic reset function. In this method, the round steel push rod is prone to transmission slippage, and the push rod may affect the secondary opening of the sunroof after it has closed completely.

[0018] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0021] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0022] Example, refer to Figures 1 to 6An independent automatic reset tilting sunroof includes a first sunroof raising component 100, a second sunroof raising component 101, a left side frame of the sunroof 200, a right side frame of the sunroof 201, and a tilting assembly; The left side frame 200 of the sunroof is installed on the top of the first sunroof extension component 100, and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof is installed on the top of the second sunroof extension component 101. The first sunroof extension component 100 and the second sunroof extension component 101 are installed in parallel. The flip component is rotated between the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. The first sunroof extension component 100, the second sunroof extension component 101, the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof are all fixed parts and cannot be flipped. Rubber buffer pads 202 are installed at the center of the opposite edges of the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. A pivot 306 is provided on the opposite sides of the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. The flip assembly is hinged to the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof through the pivot 306. The flip assembly includes tempered glass 300, right side frame 303, metal strip 304 and left side frame 305. The flip assembly can be flipped 90 degrees around the pivot 306. The tempered glass 300 is hinged between the left side frame 200 and the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. The right side frame 303 and the left side frame 305 are located on both sides of the tempered glass 300. A magnetic metal plate 307 is installed on the back of the protruding part of the right side frame 303. A magnetic lock 502 is installed on the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. When it is powered on, it can attract the magnetic metal plate 307 in the flip assembly, keeping the sunroof closed. When a fire alarm is detected, the control system controls the magnetic lock 502 to be de-energized, and the flip assembly automatically flips open by its own gravity, allowing fire-fighting gas to enter the enclosed passage and extinguish the fire.

[0023] like Figure 2 , 4As shown in Figures 5 and 6, to enable the sunroof to close automatically: a motor assembly 400 is installed on the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. The motor assembly 400 includes a DC motor 402, a motor push rod 403, a nylon roller 404, a motor sheet metal support 405, a first motor mounting plate 406, and a second motor mounting plate 407. The DC motor 402 is installed on the upper surface of the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. A motor metal cover 401 is installed outside the DC motor 402, which serves as a dustproof cover. Rod 403 is hinged to the movable end of DC motor 402. Nylon roller 404 is riveted to the end of motor push rod 403 away from DC motor 402, which can reduce the friction between motor push rod 403 and right side frame 303 of glass, and reduce the load on DC motor 402. DC motor 402 is mounted on right side frame 201 of sunroof via motor sheet metal support 405. DC motor 402 and motor sheet metal support 405 are fixed with screws. First motor mounting plate 406 is reserved on motor sheet metal support 405 for use with the sunroof. The right side frame 201 of the window is positioned and installed. The first motor mounting plate 406 and the second motor mounting plate 407 are respectively installed on the two sides of the motor push rod 403. The first motor mounting plate 406 and the second motor mounting plate 407 are connected by fixing screws 408. One end of the motor push rod 403 and the first motor mounting plate 406 are provided with D-shaped mounting holes. The rotating shaft of the DC motor 402 is also D-shaped. The rotating shaft of the DC motor 402 passes through the D-shaped mounting holes of the motor push rod 403 and the first motor mounting plate 406. The three are tightly connected. With a tight fit, the fixing screws 408 are fixed from the outside of the second motor mounting plate 407 to the internal threaded hole of the rotating shaft of the DC motor 402 and the two threaded holes of the second motor mounting plate 407, respectively, to ensure that the motor does not slip when rotating. When the DC motor 402 is powered on, the motor rotates, driving the motor push rod 403 to rotate, pressing the right side frame 303 of the glass to make the sunroof tilting assembly rotate. Finally, the magnetic metal plate 307 welded to the bottom of the right side frame 303 of the glass is attracted to the magnetic lock 502, thereby realizing the automatic closing of the sunroof. like Figure 2 , 3As shown, a first limit switch 500 and a second limit switch 501 are installed on the right side frame 201 of the sunroof. The first limit switch 500 and the second limit switch 501 are located on the left and right sides of the motor assembly 400. When the magnetic metal plate 307 is attracted to the magnetic lock 502, the magnetic metal plate 307 also contacts the second limit switch 501 at the same time. The second limit switch 501 feeds a signal to the PLC control system. The PLC control system controls the motor assembly 400 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the metal bent edge of the motor push rod 403 contacts the first limit switch 500, the PLC control system receives a contact signal and controls the DC motor 402 to stop rotating. At this time, the entire automatic reset action of the sunroof is completed. Since the motor push rod 403 has rotated to the other side in the opposite direction, it no longer restricts the free rotation of the tilting sunroof. The tilting sunroof can also automatically open when a fire alarm is received, forming a functional closed loop. Tempered glass 300 is provided with a first sealing strip 301 and a second sealing strip 302 on the adjacent sides of the right side frame 303 and the left side frame 305 of the glass. When the skylight is closed, it ensures that there are no gaps between the adjacent skylights and that cold air does not leak out.

[0024] It should be understood that numerous specific implementation decisions can be made during the development of any actual implementation method, and in any engineering or design project. Such development efforts may be complex and time-consuming, but for those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure, the development effort will be a routine work of design, manufacturing, and production without requiring extensive experimentation. It should be noted that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solutions of this utility model and not intended to limit it. Although the 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 solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
