Apparently, the described embodiments are merely a part rather than all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Because the diversion structure for guiding air to flow is disposed in the air duct 39, in this case, after the air flows into the air duct 39 from the air inlet 310, the diversion structure may guide the air to flow in the air duct 39 orderly and prevent air aggregation, and reduce air flow resistance, and further enable the air to flow out of the air outlet 320 more smoothly. Therefore, the ventilation efficiency is better improved, and the heat exchange efficiency of a heat exchanger is better improved.
Embodiment 1A first embodiment of the diversion structure is shown in
In the embodiment shown in
In the embodiment shown in
As shown in
A shape of a section line of the arc surface 38 may be ⅛ to ⅞ of an arc and a radius of an arc section line of the arc surface 38 may be from 5 mm to 30 mm; an opening width of the recess part is at least greater than 10 mm.
Embodiment 3With reference to
Because the diversion plates are sequentially arranged in the air duct 39 in a step manner, lengths (a length direction herein refers to a direction in which air flows from the air inlet to the air outlet) of the diversion plates increase sequentially, and in this case, a flow path of the air in a lowest-layer air duct unit is relatively short while a flow path of the air in a highest-layer air duct unit is relatively long. When the air duct units are formed by division of equal proportions, air may be subject to relatively high flow resistance at the lowest layer and subject to relatively low flow resistance at the highest layer, which cause uneven air flow resistance in each air duct unit and may cause an unsatisfactory ventilation effect. To prevent this phenomenon, widths of low-layer air duct units may be set to be wider and widths of high-layer air duct units may be set to be narrower, which may enable air in each air duct unit to be subject to relatively even flow resistance and ensure more smooth ventilation. Therefore, as an optional solution, the N diversion plates may divide the air outlet 320 into N+1 air duct units unevenly.
As shown in
Alternatively, as shown in
As shown in
In this embodiment, with reference to
Alternatively, as shown in
As shown in
As an optional solution, the flow around plate may be formed by a first straight plate 61, a second straight plate 60, and a third straight plate 62 that are connected sequentially and form angles mutually, and straight plates located on both sides of the opening 63 are parallel, where angles between the first straight plate 61 and the second straight plate 60 and between the third straight plate 62 and the second straight plate 60 may be from 10° to 170°, lengths of section lines of the first straight plate 61, the second straight plate 60, and the third straight plate 62 may all be 2 to 20 mm, and a width of the opening 63 may be 2 to 10 mm.
In addition, heights of the diversion plates in Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 4 and the flow around plate mentioned in Embodiment 5 may all be ¼ to 1 time of a height (it should be noted that, the height herein is along a thickness direction of the heat exchange plate) of the air duct 39.
The diversion structure may also be formed by any two or more of the diversion structures in the foregoing content, which may be more conducive to the air flow efficiency and strengthen the heat exchange efficiency. For example, as shown in
In addition, the heat exchange plate 30 may be a metal plate or may be a resin plate.
Parameter values mentioned in the foregoing embodiments are merely optional solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Specific parameter values may be determined according to situations.
With reference to
In the heat exchanger provided by the embodiment of the present invention, because a diversion structure for guiding air to flow is disposed in the air duct 39, in this case, after air flows from the air inlet 310 into the air duct 39, the diversion structure may guide the air to flow orderly in the air duct 39 and prevent air aggregation, and may further reduce air flow resistance, and further enable the air to flow out of the air outlet 320 more smoothly. Therefore, the ventilation efficiency is better improved and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is better improved.
It should be noted that, because the diversion structure in the heat exchange plate 30 may enable that the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is improved, in this case, a heat exchanger with a small size may be used to replace a heat exchanger with a large size, so as to reduce costs.
The internal circulation fan unit 10 and the external circulation fan unit 20 may be axial fans or centrifugal fans.
Generally, the heat exchange plates 30 are arranged in the heat exchange core in a relatively dense manner and minimum plate spacing between two adjacent heat exchange plates 30 may reach 2 mm, which also causes large air flow resistance in the air duct 39. Because a pressure head of a centrifugal fan is relatively high, under most conditions, a centrifugal fan may be used to enable the air in the air duct 39 to outflow.
An embodiment of the present invention further provides a communication base station cabinet, including a cabinet, where the heat exchanger described in the foregoing content is disposed in the cabinet. This heat exchanger may be used to enable air inside and outside the cabinet to orderly flow in the air duct 39 of the heat exchange plate 30 to prevent air aggregation, reduce air flow resistance, and further enable the air to flow out of the air outlet 320 more smoothly. Therefore, on a premise that internal and external isolation, reliability, noise, and environmental protection of a cabinet are ensured, the ventilation efficiency may be better improved, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger is better improved.
According to the foregoing content and
In the heat exchange plate in the embodiments of the present invention, structures that may enhance heat exchange efficiency, such as a ripple or vortex generator or a windowed flow around plate may be added. In this case, a heat exchange capability of the heat exchange plate may be further enhanced, and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger may be further enhanced.
The foregoing descriptions are merely specific implementation manners of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any variation or replacement readily figured out by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
