Container data center with supporting apparatus

Abstract

A supporting apparatus is used for supporting a device on a platform. The supporting apparatus includes a base fixed to the platform, a shockproof member, and a sliding member. The base defines a receiving recess for receiving the shockproof member. The shockproof member is attached to an inner sidewall bounding the receiving recess. The sliding member is supported on a bottom of the receiving recess. The bottom of the receiving recess is concave. The sliding member includes a block to be engaged in the device. The bottom of the sliding member is convex for mating with the bottom of the receiving recess.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a container data center with a supporting apparatus. The technical effect of the patent is to provide a solution for protecting electronic devices in a container data center from damage caused by shock and vibration situations, such as during transport or an earthquake. The supporting apparatus includes a container, four locking slots in the corners of the bottom of the container, and a shockproof member and sliding member for each supporting apparatus. The shockproof member is made of flexible material, such as rubber or plastic, and includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The sliding member has a concave bottom and an inner sidewall, and is designed to slide on the bottom of the container during jolts or vibrations. The container is supported on the four supporting apparatuses, which can absorb shock and protect the electronic devices from damage.

Problems solved by technology

When a container data center is subjected to shock and / or vibration situations, such as during transport or by being in an area where an earthquake occurs, electronic devices in the container may be damaged.
