Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ventilation equipment technology, and in particular to a wind valve, a ventilation device, and a cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In air-cooled high-voltage frequency converters, the fan, as a core heat dissipation component, plays a crucial role in removing heat from the converter's interior. Its performance and reliability directly affect the converter's stable operation and lifespan. However, during long-term operation, the fan is susceptible to failure due to various factors such as dust accumulation and mechanical wear. To reduce the impact of fan failure on the normal operation of the frequency converter and ensure product reliability throughout its entire lifecycle, a redundant fan system is typically employed. This system includes a primary fan and a backup fan, with the backup fan maintaining the cooling function when the primary fan fails.
[0003] Currently, most redundant fan systems on the market use motor-driven dampers to switch air ducts. However, this has significant drawbacks: First, the operation of motor-controlled dampers requires numerous detection devices, such as position sensors and current sensors, to monitor the damper's status in real time. Simultaneously, complex control logic is needed to accurately determine when to open and close the damper, ensuring accurate and timely airflow switching. This not only significantly increases manufacturing costs but also complicates the product structure. Numerous detection devices and control circuits become new points of failure; any malfunction will affect the reliability of the entire redundant fan system, thereby jeopardizing the inverter's normal heat dissipation.
[0004] Secondly, the damper is usually installed near the air inlet of the fan, and its blades will largely block the air inlet when closed. Taking a centrifugal fan as an example, when the airflow passes through the damper, the obstruction of the blades will cause the airflow to be blocked, generating eddies and pressure loss, which will significantly reduce the actual output air volume of the fan and weaken the heat dissipation redundancy advantage brought by the fan's redundant design.
[0005] The content of the background section is merely the technology known to the inventor and does not necessarily represent the prior art in this field. Utility Model Content

Each first blade has an open position and a closed position and is configured to switch to the closed position under the action of gravity, or under the combined action of gravity, low air pressure outside the air inlet, and high air pressure inside the air inlet; it can also switch to the open position under the action of airflow, which is generated by the high air pressure outside the air inlet and the low air pressure inside the air inlet.

[0013] According to one aspect of the present invention, the air valve further includes a second rotating shaft or a second hinge, wherein the second blade is hinged inside the inner shell via the second rotating shaft or the second hinge.
[0014] According to one aspect of the present invention, the inner shell is configured as a rectangular annular structure; There are two second blades, which are respectively connected to two opposite side walls of the inner shell. The second blades are rectangular.

[0017] This utility model also provides a cabinet, including: Cabinet; and The ventilation device described above is located at the top of the cabinet, and the air inlet of the outer shell communicates with the interior of the cabinet.
[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the embodiments of this utility model provide a damper, a ventilation device, and a cabinet.

Furthermore, the damper blades are located away from the fan, and the effective ventilation area of the damper's airflow channel is greater than or equal to the effective ventilation area of the fan (fan coil), allowing airflow to pass smoothly through the damper and greatly reducing the negative impact of the damper on the fan's ventilation efficiency.

[0026] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0027] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a damper 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 Another schematic diagram of a damper 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Provide a detailed description.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the damper 100 includes a housing 110. The housing 110 is generally annular in shape and has a first end ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 (lower end) and second end ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 The damper 100 includes a first end with an air inlet 111 and a second end with an air outlet 112. The damper 100 also includes multiple first blades 120, which are rotatably connected to the edge region of the air inlet 111 and can flexibly switch between a closed position and an open position. In the closed position, the first blades 120 are approximately horizontal; in the open position, the first blades 120 are tilted. The first blades 120 rotate approximately 30-85° when switching between the closed and open positions.
[0029] Specifically, these first blades 120 can automatically switch to the closed position under the influence of gravity. Furthermore, when the air pressure outside the air inlet 111 is lower than the air pressure inside the air inlet 111, these first blades 120 can automatically switch to the closed position and remain stable under the combined action of gravity, the low air pressure outside the air inlet 111, and the high air pressure inside the air inlet 111. The outside of the air inlet 111 refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2The area located below the air inlet 111; the interior of the air inlet 111 refers to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 The area located above the air inlet 111 is also located inside the housing 110. When all the first blades 120 are in the closed position, they can substantially seal the air inlet 111 of the housing 110. "Substantially sealed" here means that, except for the necessary fitting gaps between the first blades 120 and the housing 110, the necessary fitting gaps between adjacent first blades 120, and the deliberately reserved areas (such as the unsealed areas mentioned later), the other parts of the air inlet 111 are effectively blocked by the first blades 120, thereby achieving a near-complete seal of the air inlet 111.
[0030] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, these first blades 120 can also overcome the influence of gravity and automatically switch to the open position under the action of airflow. The airflow is generated by the high air pressure outside the air inlet 111 and the low air pressure inside the air inlet 111, and the airflow direction is as follows: Figure 2 As indicated by the arrows in the diagram. When all of these first blades 120 are in the open position, an airflow channel is formed between these first blades 120 for the airflow to pass through.
[0031] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, the damper 100 also includes a plurality of first rotating shafts 130, and the first blade 120 is hinged to the edge region of the air inlet 111 via one or more of the first rotating shafts 130. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in other embodiments, a first hinge may be used instead of the first rotating shafts 130 to connect the first blade 120 to the housing 110.
[0032] Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of a damper 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the housing 110 may include a frame 113 and multiple side plates 114. The frame 113 is a flat, annular structure, with its inner circumferential surface forming the aforementioned air inlet 111. Multiple side plates 114 are arranged around the frame 113 and fixedly connected to it, forming a semi-enclosed structure that is open at both the top and bottom. Optionally, the frame 113 and the side plates 114 can be fixed by one or more of the following methods: screw connection, bolt connection, riveting, snap-fit connection, and welding. Optionally, through holes 115 are provided at the first and / or second ends of some of the side plates 114 (corresponding to the first and second ends of the housing 110). Using these through holes 115 and suitable connectors, the air valve 100 can be easily connected to other equipment (such as the cabinet 300, fan 210, etc., described later).
[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 The damper 100 further includes a first positioning structure 140, which is disposed inside the housing 110 and is used to position the first blade 120 in the open position, effectively preventing excessive movement of the first blade 120 during the opening process. Specifically, the first positioning structure 140 may be multiple baffles mounted on the upper surface of the frame 113. When the first blade 120 moves to the open position, the baffles abut against the inner surface of the first blade 120, thereby preventing further movement of the first blade 120.
[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer casing 110 is configured as a rectangular annular structure. Correspondingly, the air inlet 111 and the air outlet 112 are also rectangular. Meanwhile, the first blade 120 is configured as an isosceles trapezoid, and four first blades 120 are provided, each connected to one of the four inner edges of the frame 113 (i.e., the four edge regions of the air inlet 111). In other embodiments, the first blade 120 may also be configured as an isosceles triangle or other shapes; this invention is not limited to these.
[0035] Figure 4 A bottom view of a damper 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when all the first blades 120 are in the closed position, an unclosed area (not closed by the first blades 120) is formed in the middle of the air inlet 111. Simultaneously, the damper 100 may also include an inner shell 150, a fixing member 160, and multiple second blades 170. The inner shell 150 is located in the unclosed area and has upper and lower permeable air ducts; the fixing member 160 connects the inner shell 150 and the outer shell 110 to fix the inner shell 150 and the outer shell 110 relatively. The multiple second blades 170 are rotatably disposed inside the inner shell 150 and can flexibly switch between open and closed positions. Specifically, these second blades 170 can automatically switch to the closed position under the action of gravity. Furthermore, when the air pressure outside the air inlet 111 is lower than the air pressure inside the air inlet 111, these second blades 170 can automatically switch to the closed position and remain stable under the combined action of gravity, the low air pressure outside the air inlet 111, and the high air pressure inside the air inlet 111. When all these second blades 170 are in the closed position, they can seal the channel. Additionally, these second blades 170 can also overcome the influence of gravity and automatically switch to the open position under the action of the airflow. When all these second blades 170 are in the open position, the channel is opened.
[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the damper 100 may further include a second positioning structure 180, which is disposed inside the inner shell 150 and is used to position the second blade 170 in the open position to prevent excessive movement of the second blade 170 during the opening process. Specifically, the second positioning structure 180 may be multiple protrusions disposed on the side wall of the inner shell 150. When the second blade 170 moves to the open position, the protrusions abut against the inner surface of the corresponding second blade 170, thereby preventing the second blade 170 from moving further.
[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the damper 100 may further include a plurality of second rotating shafts 190, and the second blade 170 is hinged to the interior of the inner housing 150 via one or more second rotating shafts 190. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in other embodiments, a second hinge may be used instead of a second rotating shaft 190 to achieve the connection between the second blade 170 and the inner housing 150.
[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the inner shell 150 is configured as a rectangular annular structure. Correspondingly, the second blade 170 is also rectangular, and two second blades 170 are provided, each connected to one of the opposite sidewalls of the inner shell 150. Those skilled in the art will readily understand that in other embodiments, the inner shell 150 and the second blade 170 may also be configured with other shapes; for example, the inner shell 150 may be configured as a circular annular structure, and the second blade 170 may be configured as a semi-circular shape. This invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0039] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, two fasteners 160 can be provided and configured as rod-shaped structures. These two fasteners 160 are respectively connected to two opposite sidewalls of the housing 110. Figure 4 The inner shell 150 is fixedly connected to two fasteners 160 between the left and right side walls of the inner shell 150. Preferably, a flange 151 is provided on the outer side of the inner shell 150. When the first blade 120 is in the closed position, the first blade 120 can overlap the flange 151, which not only improves the stability of the first blade 120, but also enhances the airtightness of the damper 100.
[0040] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a ventilation device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 6A cross-sectional view of a ventilation device 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 5 and Figure 6 Provide a detailed description.
[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the ventilation device 200 mainly includes a damper 100 and a fan 210. The fan 210 can be a centrifugal fan 210, an axial flow fan 210, a mixed flow fan 210, etc., and the specific type can be determined comprehensively based on factors such as the application scenario, required air volume, air pressure, and spatial layout of the ventilation device 200. The fan 210 includes a fan ring 211, which has an inlet end and an outlet end. The inlet end of the fan ring 211 is connected and communicates with the second end of the outer casing 110. When the fan 210 is working, it draws gas from the outlet 112 of the damper 100, causing the internal air pressure of the damper 100 to be lower than the external air pressure, thereby generating airflow and opening the first blade 120 of the damper 100 under the action of the airflow. When the fan 210 stops working, the internal and external air pressures of the damper 100 are basically balanced, and the first blade 120 can close under the action of gravity. Preferably, the effective ventilation area of the wind ring 211 is less than or equal to the effective ventilation area of the airflow channel, so that the airflow can pass smoothly through the air valve 100, reducing the negative impact of the air valve 100 on the ventilation efficiency of the fan 210.
[0042] Figure 7 A schematic diagram of a cabinet 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 8 Another schematic diagram of a cabinet 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 7 and Figure 8 Provide a detailed description.
[0043] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the rack 300 may include a cabinet 310 and one or more ventilation devices 200. The following description uses two ventilation devices 200 as an example. The two ventilation devices 200 are arranged side-by-side on the top of the rack 300, and the air inlet 111 of the outer casing 110 communicates with the interior of the cabinet 310. The ventilation devices 200 can be independently controlled and operated, for example in… Figure 7 In the illustrated state, both ventilation devices 200 are operational. At this time, the two ventilation devices 200 extract air from the cabinet 300, effectively dissipating heat from the cabinet 300. For example, in… Figure 8In the illustrated state, one ventilation device 200 is in operation, while the other ventilation device 200 is in shutdown. For the operating ventilation device 200, the fan 210 draws gas from the outlet 112 of the damper 100, causing the air pressure inside the damper 100 (inlet 111) to be lower than the air pressure outside the damper 100 (inlet 111), thus generating airflow. This causes the first blade 120 of the damper 100 to open under the action of the airflow. At this time, the airflow flows from inside the cabinet 300 to the outside (e.g., Figure 7 (As shown by the arrow in the image), it effectively removes heat from the cabinet 300, achieving heat dissipation for the cabinet 300. For the ventilation device 200 in a stopped state, the air pressure outside the air valve 100 (air inlet 111) is lower than the air pressure inside the air valve 100 (air inlet 111). Under the combined action of gravity, the low air pressure outside the air inlet 111, and the high air pressure inside the air inlet 111, the first blade 120 of the air valve 100 is stably kept in the closed position.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a damper 100, a ventilation device 200, and a cabinet 300. The blades of the damper 100 no longer rely on a motor drive, but can automatically open when the fan 210 is turned on and automatically close when the fan 210 is stopped. This significantly reduces the manufacturing cost and structural complexity of the damper 100, the ventilation device 200, and the cabinet 300, reduces potential failure points, and improves reliability. Furthermore, the blades of the damper 100 are far from the fan 210, and the effective ventilation area of the airflow channel of the damper 100 is greater than or equal to the effective ventilation area of the fan 210 (wind ring 211), allowing airflow to pass smoothly through the damper 100 and greatly reducing the negative impact of the damper 100 on the ventilation efficiency of the fan 210.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
