In some embodiments,

A filter structure 9 is also provided outside the air inlet 5. When the air inlet 5 is provided on the first side panel 3, or the air inlet 5 and the first side panel 3 are located on the same side and When connected, the filter structure 9 is disposed on the side of the first side plate 3 away from the internal cavity, that is, the outside of the inter-row machine room air conditioner, and the filter structure 9 is in contact with the air inlet. 5 are arranged relatively to completely cover the air inlet 5, so that the airflow first passes through the filter structure 9 and then enters the internal cavity through the air inlet 5;

When the air inlet 5 is disposed on the second side panel 4, or the air inlet 5 and the second side panel 4 are located on the same side and connected, the filter structure 9 is disposed on the second side panel 4. The side of the side plate 4 away from the internal cavity is the outside of the inter-row machine room air conditioner, and the filter structure 9 is arranged opposite to the air inlet 5 to completely cover the air inlet 5, so that The airflow first passes through the filter structure 9 and then enters the internal cavity through the air inlet 5 .

The present invention also provides a filter structure outside the air inlet. Since the air inlet and outlet are provided on the first and/or second side panels, compared with the original solution in which the air inlet and outlet are provided on the front panel and the back panel, the original air inlet and outlet are provided on the front panel and the back panel. Due to the narrow area of the front panel and the back panel, the filter structure can only be installed inside the inter-row air conditioner. Otherwise, it will affect the function of opening the front panel and side panels for internal maintenance. The present invention effectively The filter structure is arranged on the outside of the first and/or second side panel, which can facilitate the installation of the filter structure and will not affect the internal maintenance function of the inter-row air conditioner.

In some embodiments,

The filter structure 9 can change its filtering area through movement to match the size of the air inlet 5 after the area is changed, so as to completely cover the air inlet 5. When the area of the air inlet 5 increases, the The area of the filter structure 9 also increases. When the area of the air inlet 5 decreases, the area of the filter structure 9 also decreases. The filter structure of the present invention can change its filter area through movement, and can make the filter structure adapt to changes in the area size of the air inlet to change the filter area. Therefore, the area of the filter structure can be changed according to actual needs to meet the large air inlet volume. demand or small air inlet volume to adapt to the internal environment of the computer room and improve the energy efficiency of heat exchange in the computer room space between rows.

The invention proposes a machine room air conditioner between side air outlet and return air rows with a filter screen that is easy to install. The filter screen of this structure is installed on both sides (outside) of the unit and fixed with brackets, making it easy to install and remove the filter screen. And the filter size can be adjusted according to the actual required air inlet area. This structure also increases the air inlet and outlet area and improves cooling efficiency.

The traditional way of air inlet and outlet for inter-column computer room air conditioners is generally front and rear air inlet and outlet (the air inlet and outlet modes are shown in Figures 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3), that is, air enters through the back door and air comes out through the front door. The air enters the unit through the back door, is filtered by the coarse filter, and flows to the evaporator. It is cooled by the evaporator and then enters the fan cavity. Finally, the cooled air is sent out through the front door through the fan to achieve refrigeration. The front and rear doors of the unit are hollowed out through sheet metal processes such as honeycomb holes or louvers, allowing air to enter and exit through the front and rear doors. Therefore, the filter can only be installed inside the unit. However, since the inter-row computer room air conditioner needs to be installed between the rows of server cabinets, the space is small, so the installation of the filter is limited by space, and the installation place is small and difficult to install. Moreover, due to the relatively small width of the unit, door locks, display screens and other devices need to be installed on the door panels. The air inlet and outlet area at the front and rear of the unit is relatively small. The cooling capacity of the unit is also affected by the air inlet and outlet area and is difficult to increase. Therefore, in order to solve the problem that the filter installation space is small and difficult to install, the present invention proposes a machine room air conditioner between side air outlet and return air rows with a filter that is easy to install. The filter is installed on the outside of the unit, with sufficient installation space, and the structure is easy to install and disassemble. The air inlet and outlet mode of the row machine room air conditioner with this structure is side air inlet and side air outlet, and the air inlet and outlet area is also increased. The installation location, structure, and air inlet and outlet locations of the filter are shown in Figure 2.

The concept of the present invention is as follows: The installation position of the unit filter and the air inlet and outlet methods are shown in Figures 2, 2-1 and 2-2. The present invention proposes a new filter installation position based on the traditional inter-column machine room air conditioner. As well as the installation structure, the filter is installed on the outside of the unit to solve the problem of insufficient space and difficulty in installing the air conditioning filter in the inter-row machine room. At the same time, the honeycomb holes on the front and rear doors were cancelled, making the front and rear doors completely sealed. Honeycomb holes (or blinds and other processes) were added to the front door pillars so that the wind could only blow out from both sides, forming a side air inlet and side air outlet structure. . The specific frame structure is shown in Figure 3. The filter is installed on the outside of the unit, between the rear door pillar and the side plate.

This is the preferred structural form of the present invention. The preferred first side panel of the present invention is a double-layer plate structure. The area of the air inlet is increased or reduced by pushing and pulling. The matching filter structure is also a double-layer stacked push-pull structure. The structure is adapted to the air inlet formed by the double-layer structure of the first side panel to increase or decrease the filtration area by pushing and pulling, so that the area of the air inlet can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions, and the The area of the filter structure ensures sufficient cooling of the server cabinet while also reducing energy consumption, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner.

The filter screen of the present invention preferably has a double-layer structure, and the filter screen can be pushed and pulled according to the actual required air inlet area, thereby changing the air inlet area. As shown in the side panel cross-sections in Figures 4-1 to 4-5, the side panels are also double-layer structures. When adjusting the filter, you need to adjust the side panels together to ensure that there is no gap between the filter and the side panels, so that the air only Can enter the unit through the filter. As shown in Figures 2, 2-1 and 2-2, it is a schematic diagram of the unit after adjusting the air inlet area. The advantages of this structure are as follows: 1. The filter is installed on the outside of the unit, with sufficient installation space, which is more conducive to the installation and removal of the filter; 2. The filter fixing bracket is fixed with bolts, which can avoid slipping caused by frequent replacement of the filter; 3. One end of the filter is limited and the other end is fixed. The fixed position is at the middle beam of the unit. It is fixed with a small bracket. The structure is simple and the position is moderate. It is easy to install and remove the bracket when replacing the filter. 4. The filter and side plates are double-sided structures. The filter and side panels can be adjusted according to actual needs to meet different air intake volume requirements. The air outlet is on the front door pillar, and the sheet metal of the pillar is hollowed out (honeycomb openings, louvers, rectangular holes are all acceptable, and can be punched according to actual needs). The front door pillars are located on both sides of the fan cavity, and the fan blows the air out from the pillars on both sides. According to the actual required air outlet area, the size of the column can be adjusted to meet the requirements of different air outlet volumes.

In some embodiments,

When the air inlet 5 is disposed on the first side panel 3, or the air inlet 5 and the first side panel 3 are located on the same side and connected, the first side panel 3 is divided into upper and lower parts. The upper and lower side panels are connected by an intermediate beam 10. The air inlet 5 is also divided into a first inlet arranged on the upper side panel or connected to the upper side panel. The air inlet and the second air inlet are arranged on the lower side plate or connected to the lower side plate. The filter structure 9 is also divided into two split filters, upper and lower. The split filter on the upper side is connected to the third split filter. An air inlet is arranged oppositely and can change with the size of the first air inlet. A split filter located on the lower side is arranged oppositely to the second air inlet and can change with the size of the second air inlet. Change with change.

This is a further preferred structural form of the first side plate of the present invention, that is, it forms an upper and lower split side plate structure, and the two are connected through an intermediate cross beam. The filter structure is also divided into an upper and lower split filter structure. The split filter on the upper side is matched with the first air inlet above, and the split filter on the lower side is matched with the second air inlet below, forming an overall system structure of upper and lower splits, and can be configured according to actual conditions. The working condition size controls the changes in the air inlet and filter area to ensure effective cooling of the server cabinet while also reducing power consumption and improving system energy efficiency.

In some embodiments,

When the inter-row machine room air conditioner also includes a top plate 7 and a base 8, the inter-row machine room air conditioner also includes a bracket 11, a bracket 2 12, a bracket 3 13 and a bracket 4 14. The bracket 11 can be located on the upper side. The upper end of the split filter screen is fixed to the top plate 7. The second bracket 12 can fix the lower end of the split filter screen located on the upper side to the middle beam 10. The third bracket 13 can fix the lower end of the split filter screen located below. The upper end of the split filter screen on the side is fixed to the middle beam 10, and the bracket 414 can fix the lower end of the split filter screen located on the lower side to the base 8.

This is the preferred installation and fixation method for the side panels and the filter screen of the split structure of the present invention. That is, the first bracket is used to fix the upper end of the upper split filter screen to the top plate, and the second bracket is used to fix the upper split filter screen. The lower end of the net is fixed to the middle beam, bracket three is used to fix the upper end of the lower split filter screen to the middle cross beam, and bracket four is used to fix the lower end of the lower split filter screen to the base, thereby achieving The effective connection and fixation of the upper and lower split filters ensures the effective filtration effect at the air inlet.

In some embodiments,

The structures of the first bracket 11, the second bracket 12 and the third bracket 13 are all Z-shaped sheet metal parts; the structure of the fourth bracket 14 is a U-shaped sheet metal part. This is the preferred structural form of bracket one, bracket two, bracket three and bracket four of the present invention, which can achieve the effect of fixing the filter to the top plate, the middle beam and the base. The upper and lower split structures are arranged to pass through the middle beam. Provide structural strength support to the middle part to avoid poor stability or vibration due to weak structural strength in the middle position due to the side plate being set as a whole plate in the vertical direction and the vertical length being too long.

The specific installation method of the filter screen of the present invention is shown in Figures 4-1 to 4-5. There are 4 brackets 14 installed on the base of the unit, 2 on each side (the number is not fixed, and the number and size of the sheet metal can be adjusted according to the size of the filter used). The bracket four 14 is a U-shaped sheet metal (or "concave" type), and the lower end of the lower filter is stuck between the U-shaped sheet metal to achieve fixation. Bracket three 13 is a Z-shaped sheet metal. This Z-shaped sheet metal tightly presses the upper end of the lower filter screen onto the middle beam of the unit, and then uses bolts to fix it. There are 4 brackets - 11 installed on the top cover of the unit, 2 on each side (the number is not fixed, the number and size of the sheet metal can be adjusted according to the size of the filter used). The sheet metal has a Z-shaped structure, and one end of the Z-shaped sheet metal is connected to the folded edge of the top cover to form a "concave" card slot. The upper end of the upper filter is stuck in the "concave" slot, and the lower end is pressed against the middle beam of the unit through bracket 2 12. Bracket 2 12 is fixed on the middle beam through bolts, thereby fixing the filter. The structure of the filter fixing bracket is not unique and can be changed appropriately according to actual needs.

The internal layout of the unit of the present invention is shown in Figure 5-6. In order not to affect the air intake of the unit, the electrical box 18 needs to be kept at a certain distance from the filter. In the present invention, the electrical box is placed in an inclined manner, so that the electrical box and the filter form a certain angle, so that the distance between the electrical box, the filter and the side panels is increased, thereby avoiding affecting the air inlet on both sides of the unit (traditional rows of front and rear air inlet and outlet) For computer room air conditioners, the electrical box is generally placed parallel to and close to the side panels to avoid affecting the air volume from the front and rear inlets). Since the width of the inter-row machine room air conditioner is small and the internal space of the unit is limited, the evaporator is placed obliquely. The air duct of the unit is shown in the top view in Figure 5. The air enters the inside of the unit through the filters on both sides of the unit. The filtered air flows inside the unit in the direction indicated by the arrow in Figure 5. After being cooled by the evaporator, it enters the cold air cavity. The fan rotates, sucking the air from the cold air cavity into the fan cavity, and then sends the cooled air out from both sides to achieve cooling. Since the area on both sides of the inter-row computer room air conditioner is much larger than the front and rear area, and both the left and right sides can inlet and outlet air, the side air outlet and side return air inlet and outlet methods make the air inlet and outlet area much larger than the traditional inter-row computer room air conditioner, and the cooling efficiency Greatly improve. According to actual needs, the size of the air inlet and outlet can also be appropriately adjusted (as shown in Figure 2), thereby adjusting the air inlet and outlet volume to meet the required cooling capacity. Moreover, since the inter-row computer room air conditioners are installed between the rows of server cabinets, the side air outlet method can directly blow the cabinets and cool the cabinets more efficiently.

Through comparison of experimental data, when the length and width of the unit are the same, the cooling capacity of the present invention is higher than that of the traditional inter-row machine room air conditioner (front and rear air inlet and outlet) with a unit height 20cm higher. The comparison of experimental data of the unit is as follows: The unit operates under the conditions of inner ambient temperature 35/21°C and outer ambient temperature 35/-°C, powered by rated voltage, turned on in refrigeration mode, fixed compressor frequency 64Hz, electronic expansion valve step number 196B, external The fan speed is 100%, the outlet static pressure is 10Pa, and it runs stably for 1 hour. The measured cooling capacity of the unit of the present invention is 24.216kW, and the measured cooling capacity of the front and rear air inlet and outlet units is 23.819kW. The cooling capacity of the unit of the present invention is greater than that of the traditional front and rear air inlet and outlet units. Moreover, during the installation and stage testing process, it is indeed more convenient to install and remove the filter if the filter is installed on the outside of the unit. The unit in this experiment has a relatively small filter (that is, the air inlet area is relatively small), as shown in Figures 4-1 and 4-2. Increasing the size of the filter will increase the air inlet area, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. From this, it can be concluded that compared with the traditional inter-column computer room air conditioner with an easy-to-install side outlet and side return air filter proposed by the present invention, the filter is more convenient to install and disassemble, and the air inlet area is relatively larger. Cooling efficiency is higher.

The invention is suitable for most inter-column computer room air conditioners. Through the invented filter installation structure, the filter is installed outside the unit, thereby solving the problem of insufficient installation space and difficulty in installation of the filter. The filter is fixed on the outside of the unit through a few simple small brackets. The installation cost is low and the installation and replacement are convenient. This not only reduces the cost, but also improves the efficiency of the final assembly and facilitates after-sales maintenance of the filter. At the same time, through the new filter installation structure, the air inlet and outlet methods are changed, making the air inlet area larger (and the filter size can be adjusted according to the actual required air inlet area), and improving the cooling efficiency.
