Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of development and utilization of abandoned mines, and in particular to a data center plant arranged using abandoned mines. Background Art

[0002] At present, temperature control has always been a major problem in data center construction. Most of the time, it relies on a large number of cooling equipment, and has to use electricity at a high cost of energy consumption to achieve refrigeration. To ensure the best cooling of the data center, thereby ensuring the efficient operation of the data center, electricity costs account for 50%-70% of the total data center expenditure. By utilizing the appropriate depth underground in abandoned mines, the natural ambient temperature can be used to provide a constant temperature and humidity environment for the data center, greatly reducing the cost of electricity. At the same time, another important consideration in data center construction is safety. Building a data center deep in a mine can not only effectively reduce the temperature of the data center, but also bring the advantages of "high concealment", "high protection" and "high security" to the data center.

[0003] By utilizing abandoned mines to arrange data center plants, taking advantage of existing conditions in abandoned mines and combining them with the actual needs of data center plants, resources can be reused to reduce data center operation and maintenance costs, improve safety, and bring economic benefits to the mining group. However, ventilation and exhaust of data center plants arranged in abandoned mines are difficult, and general ventilation systems cannot meet the requirements.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0025] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a data center plant arranged using an abandoned mine is characterized in that it specifically includes a mine rock layer 1, a top floor slab 2, an edge load-bearing wall 3, a dispatching center 7, a conveying shaft 6, an air intake duct 4, an exhaust duct 5, and an emergency staircase 14. It is characterized in that the edge load-bearing wall 3 is built close to the mine rock layer 1 on the inner wall of the mine, and the top floor slab 2 is provided on the upper end of the edge load-bearing wall 3. The dispatching center 7 is a ground facility built on the top floor slab 2. The dispatching center 7 performs personnel dispatch and safety monitoring on the data center plant. The dispatching center 7 is provided with a conveying shaft 6, an air intake duct 4 and an exhaust duct 5. The conveying shaft 6 connects the ground and the bottom of the data center plant. The exhaust duct 5 draws air from the data center plant to the surface. The air intake duct 4 draws the surface air into the data center plant. An emergency staircase 14 is provided on the side of the edge load-bearing wall 3.

[0026] The edge load-bearing wall 3 is provided with a layered floor 13, and a load-bearing isolation wall 12 is provided on the layered floor 13. A regional connecting door 15 is opened on the load-bearing isolation wall 12, and a first connecting pipe 8 is provided on the layered floor 13.

An exhaust ring pipe 11 is provided below the layered floor 13 and the top floor 2, and the exhaust ring pipe 11 is interconnected with the exhaust duct 5 through a second connecting pipe 10. Through such a design, the heavier property of low-temperature gas can be utilized to make the surface air rise from the bottom surface of the layered floor 13, which can achieve a better cooling effect and increase air flow. At the same time, it rises from the bottom surface of the layered floor 13 to the top and is sucked into the exhaust ring pipe 11, so that a smooth air circulation system can be formed, which can better ensure the air circulation and temperature stability of the data center factory.

[0027] In some disclosures, the air intake duct 4 and the exhaust duct 5 can be switched with each other by adjusting the rotation direction of the fan. Through such a design, air circulation in the data center factory building can be ensured when one of the air intake duct 4 and the exhaust duct 5 fails.

[0028] In some disclosures, a plurality of exhaust ducts 5 are provided in the dispatching center 7. Such a design can ensure a better exhaust effect.

[0029] In some disclosures, steel support columns are provided between the layered floors 13. Such a design can enhance the strength of the data center plant on the one hand, and can replace the load-bearing isolation wall 12 on the other hand to reduce the construction cost.

[0030] In some disclosures, the load-bearing isolation wall 12 divides each floor of the data center building into multiple isolation rooms 16, and server cabinets 17 are placed in the isolation rooms 16. The installation direction of the server cabinets 17 is parallel to the load-bearing isolation wall 12. Through such a design, the maintenance and movement of the server cabinets 17 can be facilitated.

[0031] In some disclosures, the construction method of the data center plant is as follows:

[0032] The first step: first, steel bearing structure members are made on the inner wall and the bottom of the mine rock layer 1, and then grouting is performed on the inner wall and the bottom of the mine rock layer 1 using grouting anchor rods. After grouting, the edge bearing wall 3 is cast close to the inner wall and the bottom of the mine rock layer 1;

[0033] Step 2: A conveying shaft 6, an air intake duct 4 and an exhaust duct 5 are constructed at the bottom of the mine. After each section is constructed, a steel plate is installed on the edge load-bearing wall 3. The steel plates on both sides are connected by bolts. The bolts penetrate the concrete wall. A steel frame is welded on the steel plate. Concrete is poured on the welded steel frame to form a layered floor 13. The construction is carried out in this way upwards;

[0034] Step 3: Cast the top floor slab 2 on the upper end of the edge load-bearing wall 3, build a dispatching center 7 on the top floor slab 2, and build control terminals for the conveying shaft 6, the air intake duct 4 and the exhaust duct 5 in the dispatching center 7.
