Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of data center container installation, and in particular to a container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism and a container installation method. Background Art

[0002] The container data center is an important product in the data center product family. It is used to supplement the demand for rapid deployment and is the first choice for rapid business launch, outdoor deployment, and field applications.

[0003] However, there are still improvements that can be optimized and made reliable in the process of container construction and on-site ground infrastructure installation.

[0004] Currently, the method for container positioning and installation is to simultaneously contact the four holes on the bottom surface of the container body with the four limit mechanisms on the ground infrastructure for positioning. During operation, because it is impossible to directly observe the coordination between the limit mechanisms and the holes, multiple adjustments are required. The limit mechanisms and the holes also require extremely high control accuracy, which makes the operation difficult and inefficient.

[0005] Therefore, in order to quickly deliver and facilitate the construction of data center containers, a container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism is urgently needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present application is to provide a container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism and a container installation method, which can solve the problem of high difficulty and low efficiency in container installation.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present application provides, on one hand, a container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism, comprising an auxiliary positioning mechanism, a container body, and a ground infrastructure module; the auxiliary positioning mechanism comprises an X-axis limiter and a Y-axis limiter; the X-axis limiter is detachably connected to the container body, parallel to and corresponding to one end face of the ground infrastructure module; the Y-axis limiter is detachably connected to the container body, parallel to and corresponding to one side face of the ground infrastructure module. The present application also includes a plurality of limiter mechanisms, each of which is connected to the ground infrastructure module; and the bottom surface of the container body is provided with limit holes corresponding to the plurality of limiter mechanisms.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application further provides a container installation method, comprising the above-mentioned container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism, and performing installation according to the following steps:

[0009] A. Pre-install the ground infrastructure module, the limit mechanism and the limit holes in the box at the construction site;

[0010] B. During construction, after the box is hoisted, the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter are installed at both ends of the box;

[0011] C. Adjust the box so that the X-axis limiter first fits against one end of the ground base block, and then adjust the Y-axis limiter to fit against one side of the ground base block, thereby completing the positioning of the box.

[0012] D. After the box is positioned, the limit holes are all located directly above the limit mechanism. With the X-axis limiter in contact with one end of the ground block and the Y-axis limiter in contact with one side of the ground block, the box falls vertically to complete the installation of the box.

[0013] E. After completing the box installation, remove the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter.

[0014] As a further improvement of the above technical solution: in step C, the Y-axis limiter can be first fitted with one side of the ground base block, and then the X-axis limiter can be adjusted to fit with one end of the ground base block, thereby completing the positioning of the box.

[0015] It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the present application can install an auxiliary positioning mechanism on the box, that is, the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter are installed in coordination, and the positioning of the box can be judged by observing the fit between the X-axis limiter and one end of the ground base block and the fit between the Y-axis limiter and one side of the ground base block during the installation process, thereby eliminating the need to lie on the ground to observe the alignment between the limiter mechanism and the limiter hole, reducing the difficulty of box installation and improving installation efficiency; at the same time, in order to make the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter reused, the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter are detachably connected to the box to reduce costs.

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Terms such as "upper", "above", "lower", "below", "first end", "second end", "one end", "the other end" used in this application to express spatial relative positions are used to describe the relationship of one unit or feature relative to another unit or feature as shown in the accompanying drawings for the purpose of ease of explanation. Terms of spatial relative position may be intended to include different orientations of the device in use or work other than the orientation shown in the figures. For example, if the device in the figure is turned over, the unit described as being "below" or "below" other units or features will be "above" other units or features. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" can encompass both the above and below orientations. The device can be oriented in other ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially related descriptive terms used herein are interpreted accordingly.

[0026] Furthermore, the terms "installed," "disposed," "provided with," "connected," "slidingly connected," "fixed," and "socketed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can mean a fixed connection, a removable connection, or an integral structure; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, an indirect connection through an intermediary, or internal communication between two devices, elements, or components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] At present, the method of container positioning and installation is to simultaneously contact the four holes on the bottom surface of the container body with the four limit mechanisms on the ground infrastructure for positioning. During the operation, because it is impossible to directly observe the coordination between the limit mechanisms and the holes, it is necessary to lie on the ground to observe and direct colleagues to make multiple adjustments. At the same time, the construction workers also need to have extremely high control accuracy over the limit mechanisms and holes, which makes the operation difficult and inefficient.

[0028] Therefore, in order to quickly deliver and facilitate the construction of data center containers, a container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism is urgently needed to solve the above problems.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism of this embodiment includes an auxiliary positioning mechanism, a box body 1 and a ground infrastructure module 2; the auxiliary positioning mechanism includes an X-axis limiter 4 and a Y-axis limiter 5; the X-axis limiter 4 is detachably connected to the box body 1, and the X-axis limiter 4 is parallel to and corresponding to one end face of the ground infrastructure module 2; the Y-axis limiter 5 is detachably connected to the box body 1, and the Y-axis limiter 5 is parallel to and corresponding to one side face of the ground infrastructure module 2.

[0031] By installing an auxiliary positioning mechanism on the box body 1, namely the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 for auxiliary installation, during the installation process, it is only necessary to observe the fit between the X-axis limit member 4 and one end of the ground base block 21 and the fit between the Y-axis limit member 5 and one side of the ground base block 21 to judge the positioning of the box body 1, so that there is no need to lie on the ground to observe the alignment of the limit mechanism 3 and the limit hole 11 (in the case of the limit mechanism 3) or to make multiple adjustments to keep the side distance between the box body 1 and the bottom infrastructure module 2 consistent (in the case of no limit mechanism 3), thereby reducing the difficulty of box installation and improving installation efficiency; at the same time, in order to make the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 reused, the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 are detachably connected to the box body 1, thereby reducing costs.

[0032] At present, the method used for detachably connecting the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 to the box body 1 is that before the box body 1 leaves the factory, threaded holes are punched at corresponding positions according to customization requirements, so that during installation, the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes by screws passing through themselves, thereby ensuring that the X-axis limit member 4 and the Y-axis limit member 5 can be disassembled and reused after use.

[0033] After the container is placed on the ground infrastructure module 2, there are two common ways to fix the box body 1; one detachable way is to set a limit mechanism 3 on the ground infrastructure module 2 to cooperate with the hole position on the bottom of the box body 1 for positioning, so as to facilitate the secondary transportation of the box body 1 later; the other way is to directly weld the box body 1 and the ground infrastructure module 2 after the box body 1 is aligned with the ground infrastructure module 2, so that it cannot be disassembled and is used as a permanent equipment.

[0034] In this embodiment, as a further improvement of the above technical solution, the container auxiliary positioning and installation mechanism should also include multiple limiting mechanisms 3, and the multiple limiting mechanisms 3 are connected to the ground infrastructure module 2; the bottom surface of the box body 1 is provided with limiting holes 11 corresponding to the multiple limiting mechanisms 3, and the box body 1 is limited and fixed by the cooperation of the limiting mechanisms 3 and the limiting holes 11; among them, the number of limiting mechanisms 3 and limiting holes 11 can be customized according to needs. Normally, in order to ensure the overall stability of the box body 1 after installation, four are set respectively, but two are also set at the diagonal positions.

[0035] When the limiting mechanism 3 is present, the distance between the bottom surface of the X-axis limiting member 4 and the bottom surface of the Y-axis limiting member 5 and the bottom surface of the box body 1 is greater than the distance between the top surface of the limiting mechanism 3 and the bottom surface of the ground infrastructure module 2, thereby ensuring that the box body 1 is first positioned by the X-axis limiting member 4 and the Y-axis limiting member 5, and then the limiting mechanism 3 is matched with the limiting hole 11 for limiting.

[0036] In order to ensure waterproof and moisture-proof performance, the ground infrastructure module 2 includes two parallel and spaced-apart ground base blocks 21. The two ground base blocks 21 suspend the box 1 to avoid direct contact with the ground. Multiple limiting mechanisms 3 are respectively connected to the ground base blocks 21 through connecting plates 22.

[0037] The ground foundation block 21 is constructed by pouring concrete. During the pouring process, the embedded bolts 23 provided on the bottom surface of the connecting plate 22 are embedded in the ground foundation block 21; the limiting mechanism 3 can be fixedly connected or detachably connected to the connecting plate 22.

[0038] In order to facilitate the observation and subsequent disassembly of the X-axis limiter 4 and the Y-axis limiter 5 and to prevent the X-axis limiter 4 and the Y-axis limiter 5 from interfering with the box 1 on both sides, the preferred solution is to place the X-axis limiter 4 and the Y-axis limiter 5 at both ends of the box 1 respectively.

[0039] Among them, in this embodiment, the X-axis limit member 4 is a limit plate, and the upper part of the limit plate is detachably connected to one end of the box body 1, and the lower part of the limit plate is arranged corresponding to one end of one of the ground base blocks 21; the Y-axis limit member 5 includes a connecting part 51 and a limiting part 52 that are interconnected, and the connecting part 51 is detachably connected to the other end of the box body 1, so as to facilitate the disassembly operation after positioning and installation, and the limiting part 52 is connected to the bottom surface of the connecting part 51 and the limiting part 52 is arranged corresponding to the inner side surface of one of the ground base blocks 21.

[0040] As a preferred solution, to ensure the stability of the box body 1 after installation, there are four limiting mechanisms 3, which are respectively located at the two ends of the two ground base blocks 21; there are four limiting holes 11, which are respectively located at the four corners of the box body 1.

[0041] Among them, the cross-sections of the limiting mechanism 3 and the limiting hole 11 are both rectangular, so as to facilitate the limiting of the box body 1 in the X and Y directions; since there will be a certain amount of deviation caused by the gap when the X-axis limiting member 4 and the Y-axis limiting member 5 are fitted and positioned on the ground base block 21, it is necessary to provide a draft angle 31 at the top of the limiting mechanism 3 and a rounded corner 111 at the bottom of the limiting hole 11 to compensate for the existence of this deviation. When the limiting mechanism 3 cooperates with the limiting hole 11, the rounded corner 111 and the draft angle 31 can guide the limiting mechanism 3 to return to the specified position under a certain amount of deviation.

[0042] On site, the construction methods used are as follows:

[0043] A. Pre-install the ground infrastructure module 2, the limiting mechanism 3 and the limiting hole 11 in the box 1 at the construction site;

[0044] B. During construction, after the box 1 is lifted, install the X-axis limiter 4 and the Y-axis limiter 5 at both ends of the box 1;

[0045] C. Adjust the box 1 so that the X-axis stopper 4 first fits against one end of the ground block 21, and then adjust the Y-axis stopper 5 to fit against one side of the ground block 21, thereby completing the positioning of the box 1;

[0046] D. The limiting holes 11 are all located directly above the limiting mechanism 3. The box body 1 falls vertically with the X-axis limiting member 4 in contact with one end of the ground base block 21 and the Y-axis limiting member 5 in contact with one side of the ground base block 21, thereby completing the installation of the box body 1.

[0047] E. After completing the installation of the box 1, remove the X-axis limiter 4 and the Y-axis limiter 5.

[0048] In step C, the Y-axis limiter 5 may be first aligned with one side of the ground block 21 , and then the X-axis limiter 4 may be adjusted to be aligned with one end of the ground block 21 , thereby completing the positioning of the box 1 .

[0049] It can be seen that the technical solution provided by the present application can install an auxiliary positioning mechanism on the box, that is, the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter are installed in coordination, and the positioning of the box can be judged by observing the fit between the X-axis limiter and one end of the ground base block and the fit between the Y-axis limiter and one side of the ground base block during the installation process, thereby eliminating the need to lie on the ground to observe the alignment of the limiter mechanism and the limiter hole and the multiple adjustments, thereby reducing the difficulty of box installation and improving installation efficiency; at the same time, in order to make the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter reused, the X-axis limiter and the Y-axis limiter are detachably connected to the box to reduce costs.

[0050] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
