Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of data center technology, and more particularly to a high-rise building for data centers. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, data center buildings generally adopt a large single-level structure. Since indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning units have advantages such as low energy consumption, low water consumption, convenient maintenance, modular layout, and convenient construction, they are generally installed in data centers for cooling.

[0003] The large-scale, single-level data center setup occupies a significant amount of space, leading to substantial land waste. Placing each indirect evaporative cooling (OVA) air conditioning unit outside the data center further increases land use. Therefore, some high-rise buildings are now being developed for data centers, with server rooms located on each floor to reduce land consumption. However, for high-rise buildings, OVA requires specific air intake and exhaust conditions, necessitating placement in relatively open areas, such as rooftops. However, placing OVA on rooftops cannot adequately cool each floor's server room, and the increased piping and cabling also wastes considerable resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of existing technologies, embodiments of the present invention provide a high-rise building for data centers. The technical solution is as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, a high-rise building for a data center is provided, comprising at least two floors of building structure, each floor of the building structure having at least two sets of computer room groups, the computer room groups including at least an IT computer room, a power distribution room, and an indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit;

[0006] Each floor of the building structure has an outdoor platform on both sides. The upper surface of the outdoor platform is a flat structure, and the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit is installed on the upper surface of the outdoor platform.

[0007] A first frame is provided on the outdoor platform, which is located on the side of the outdoor platform close to the building structure. A collar is slidably provided on the first frame, and a binding rope is connected to the collar. The binding rope can be tied and fixed to the maintenance personnel.

[0008] In one embodiment, a second frame is provided on the side of the outdoor platform away from the building structure, and at least one barrier bar is slidably provided on the second frame, the two ends of the barrier bar being fixed to the second frame by fasteners.

[0009] In one embodiment, two barrier bars are provided.

[0010] In one embodiment, the second frame includes columns disposed at both ends of the outdoor platform and a connecting rod connecting the two columns, wherein the sliding barrier rod is provided with sliding tubes at both ends, and the sliding tubes are sleeved on the columns;

[0011] The fixing component is a bolt installed on the slide tube, which passes through the slide tube and abuts against the column.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first frame includes support columns disposed at both ends of the outdoor platform and a crossbar connecting the two support columns, with the collar slidably sleeved on the crossbar.

[0013] In one embodiment, the building structure has six floors, namely a single-story building structure on the first floor and standard-story building structures on the second to sixth floors.

[0014] The first-floor building structure is equipped with cargo entrances and exits, and a freight elevator is provided between the first-floor building structure and the other standard floors.

[0015] In one embodiment, a carrier equipment room is provided on the first-floor building structure, and the carrier equipment room is located on both sides of the cargo import and export of the first-floor building structure.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0017] In this embodiment of the invention, by setting outdoor platforms on both sides of each floor of the high-rise data center building structure, the indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning units can be placed on the outdoor platforms to meet their air intake and exhaust requirements. Simultaneously, by placing each indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning unit on one side of each floor of the building structure, the required connecting pipes are shortened, saving resources. Furthermore, the first frame, along with the collars and binding ropes installed on the outdoor platforms, allows maintenance personnel to easily secure themselves to the indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning units during later maintenance. Since the upper surface of the outdoor platform is flat and unobstructed, the binding ropes can be used to secure the personnel, thus relatively preventing accidents during maintenance. The collars also ensure unimpeded movement for maintenance personnel, making the system convenient to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Terms indicating relative spatial positions, such as “above,” “over,” “below,” “under,” “first end,” “second end,” “one end,” and “other end,” as used in this application, are for ease of explanation to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms indicating relative spatial positions may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation other than those shown in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is flipped, a unit described as being “below” or “under” other units or features would be located “above” other units or features. Therefore, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both above and below orientations. The device may be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0027] Furthermore, the terms "installation," "setup," "equipped with," "connection," "sliding connection," "fixed," and "sleeve connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connection" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be an internal connection between two devices, components, or parts. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] This invention provides a high-rise building for data centers, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the high-rise building for the data center includes at least two building structures 1, and the building structures 1 are stacked to form the high-rise building for the data center. Each building structure 1 has at least two sets of computer room groups. Each set of computer room groups includes at least one IT computer room 21, one power distribution room 22 and one refrigeration unit, which is an indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23.

[0029] This structure allows each server room group to be set up within the building structure 1 of each high-rise building used for data centers, thereby saving a significant amount of space and improving space utilization. In addition, by setting up at least two server room groups on each floor of the building structure 1, each server room group's power distribution room 22 can independently supply power to the IT server room 21 and use independent cooling units for cooling. Therefore, if the power distribution room 22 or cooling unit of one server room group has a problem, it will not affect the normal use of the other server room group.

[0030] In one embodiment, reference Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, each floor of the building structure 1 has two sets of computer rooms. A corridor 3 is located in the middle of each floor, allowing access to different locations. The two sets of computer rooms are symmetrically positioned relative to the corridor 3; that is, the IT room 21, power distribution room 22, and chiller unit of each set are symmetrically positioned relative to the corridor 3. This arrangement separates the two sets of computer rooms, preventing interference. Furthermore, this layout better utilizes the space on each floor of the building structure 1, increasing the utilization rate of the building area.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, each floor of the building structure 1 is integrally connected to an outdoor platform 4 on both sides. The upper surface of the outdoor platform 4 is a flat structure, and the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the outdoor platform 4. A first frame is also installed on the outdoor platform 4, which is located on the side of the outdoor platform 4 closest to the building structure 1. A collar 6 is slidably installed on the first frame. The collar 6 can slide on the first frame, and a binding rope 61 is connected to the collar 6. The binding rope 61 can be tied and fixed to the maintenance personnel.

[0032] By mounting the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23 on the outdoor platform 4 and making the end face of the outdoor platform 4 flat, the air intake and exhaust of the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23 mounted on the outdoor platform 4 are not obstructed, thus further meeting its air intake and exhaust requirements. Furthermore, with the first frame, the collar 6, and the binding rope 61, maintenance personnel can tie the binding rope 61 to themselves when maintaining the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23, thereby ensuring a certain degree of safety for maintenance personnel. At the same time, since the collar 6 is slidably mounted on the first frame, it does not hinder the movement of maintenance personnel.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first frame includes support columns 51 fixed at both ends of the outdoor platform 4 and a crossbar 52 fixedly connected between the two support columns 51. The collar 6 is slidably sleeved on the crossbar 52, so that the collar 6 can move on the crossbar 52.

[0034] It should be noted that the aforementioned binding rope 61 can be wrapped around the crossbar 52 to prevent it from swinging arbitrarily on the outdoor platform 4 when not in use. Additionally, when not in use, the binding rope 61 can be detached from the rope loop 6 for storage.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, a second frame is also provided on the side of the outdoor platform 4 away from the building structure 1. At least one barrier rod 73 is slidably provided on the second frame, and the two ends of the barrier rod 73 can be fixed to the second frame by fasteners.

[0036] In this way, during normal operation of the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23, the barrier rod 73 can be moved to the bottom of the second frame to avoid affecting the air intake and exhaust of the indirect evaporative natural cooling air conditioning unit 23. When maintenance work is required, the barrier rod 73 can be moved up to the designated position and fixed with fasteners. This further ensures the safety of maintenance personnel, especially when maintenance personnel need to operate on the edge of the outdoor platform 4, they can lean against the barrier rod 73 to reduce the probability of danger.

[0037] There are two of the aforementioned barrier bars 73. By setting the two barrier bars 73, after they are moved to the designated position, they can provide good support for the maintenance personnel.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second frame includes columns 71 fixedly connected to both ends of the outdoor platform 4 and a connecting rod 72 fixedly connected between the two columns 71. The connecting rod 72 is connected to the upper end of the column 71. Both ends of the sliding barrier rod 73 are integrally connected to a sliding tube 74, which is sleeved on the column 71. The fixing component is a bolt, which is set on the side wall of the sliding tube 74 and passes through the sliding tube 74 and abuts against the column 71.

[0039] This allows the slide tube 74 to be stably fixed to the column 71. When the blocking rod 73 is moved to the designated position, the slide tube 74 can be fixed with bolts to secure the blocking rod 73 in the designated position. Afterwards, when moving the blocking rod 73, the bolts can be loosened to continue controlling the vertical movement of the blocking rod 73.

[0040] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the above-mentioned building structure 1 has a total of six floors, namely a single-story building structure on the first floor and standard-story building structures on the second to sixth floors. The single-story building structure has a cargo entrance / exit 9, and a freight elevator is provided between the single-story building structure and the other standard-story building structures.

[0041] Thus, people can transport goods into the high-rise building used as a data center through the cargo entrance and exit, and at the same time, goods can be transported to each floor through freight elevators, making the transportation of goods more convenient.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a carrier equipment room 8 is also installed on the aforementioned first-floor building structure. This carrier equipment room 8 is located on both sides of the cargo entrance / exit 9 of the first-floor building structure, whereas it is not installed in the standard floor building structure. By placing the carrier equipment room 8 here, it is easier to carry out operations later.

[0043] This invention, by setting outdoor platforms 4 on both sides of each floor of the building structure 1 in a high-rise data center, allows the indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning units 23 to be installed on the outdoor platforms 4 to meet their air intake and exhaust requirements. Simultaneously, by placing each indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning unit 23 on one side of each floor of the building structure 1, the required connecting pipes are shortened, saving resources. Furthermore, the first frame, collar 6, and binding rope 61 installed on the outdoor platform 4 allow maintenance personnel to easily secure the indirect evaporative cooling air conditioning units 23 during maintenance, as the upper surface of the outdoor platform 4 is flat and unobstructed. The binding rope 61 helps to prevent accidents during maintenance. The collar 6 also ensures easy movement for maintenance personnel.

[0044] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
