Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 The technical solution provided by this invention will be described in more detail below.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, where Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the computer room for easy installation. Figure 2 This is a front view of the makeshift hospital. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the power module's working principle.

[0028] See now Figures 1 to 3 The first embodiment of the present invention provides an easy-to-install computer room. The computer room includes a modular container and a control system.

The ammeter 107 is configured to display the operating current when the machine room is in operation, and the voltmeter 106 is configured to display the operating voltage when the machine room is in operation.

[0031] The power-off mechanism is arranged on one side of the power module 102, is electrically connected to the power module 102, and is used for controlling the on and off of the power supply of the power module 102. The power module 102 serves as the AC power supply for all devices in the shelter, and supplies power to all devices in the shelter.

[0032] Specifically, the power module 102 adopts a DC micro-module mode, the -48V switching power supply device is arranged at the head position of the equipment row, and is fixed on the inner side wall of the shelter by bolts, and then the DC output screen directly supplies power to the cabinets, omitting the original power distribution link of the DC row head cabinet, simplifying the power distribution architecture and reducing line loss. Among them, in order to facilitate installation and maintenance, the hot-swap function of the power module can be designed. Generally, the main technical points when designing the hot-swap function of the power module are: 1. Special interface design: during the insertion or extraction process, the contacts of the power interface are the last to be connected or the first to be disconnected, so as to avoid electric arcs generated by electrification during insertion or extraction. 2. Arc suppression technology: use contactors or switches with high-speed power-off capability and contacts made of special materials to suppress arcs that may be generated during the hot-swap process. 3. Control and protection circuit: the designed circuit shall include control and protection logic capable of monitoring and responding to hot-swap events, including overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, etc. 4. Hierarchical power supply: during system design, a hierarchical power supply mode can be adopted, in which the control circuit of the circuit breaker is powered by the auxiliary power supply first, and the main power supply is switched on after ensuring that the circuit breaker is in the correct state. 5. Clear operation procedures: for operators, there shall be clear operation guidelines to guide how to safely perform hot-swap and reduce operation errors.

[0033] Through the foregoing solution, in use, the original power distribution link of the DC row head cabinet can be omitted, the power distribution architecture is simplified, line loss is reduced, and at the same time, the construction period can be shortened and the construction cost can be saved. It can be understood that the foregoing solution can, in use, omit the original power distribution link of the DC row head cabinet, simplify the power distribution architecture, reduce line loss, and at the same time shorten the construction period and save the construction cost.

[0034] In this embodiment, when in use, the shelter directly replaces the civil construction part of the original node machine room, which can greatly shorten the construction period and save the construction cost. A dustproof net is installed on the side wall of the shelter, and is used for dustproof treatment during ventilation and heat dissipation.

[0035] Specifically, the modular shelter includes a shelter body 101 and a hatch 104. One side of the shelter body has an opening, and one side of the hatch 104 is hinged to the opening of the shelter body for sealing and protecting the shelter body. For example, the hatch 104 is hinged to the opening side of the shelter body via a hinge. In one embodiment, the hatch 104 is a double-leaf hatch.

[0036] Specifically, the machine room includes a door lock 105, which is installed on the hatch 104 and used to lock and unlock the hatch 104. Specifically, the door lock 105 is fixed to the hatch 104 with bolts. In one embodiment, the door lock 105 includes a mounting base, a rotating handle, a rotating block, and a connecting rod. The mounting base is installed on the hatch 104, the rotating handle is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, the rotating block is fixedly mounted on the rotating handle, and the connecting rod is mounted on the upper and lower sides of the rotating block via rotating pins. Holes are provided at the top and bottom of the container body 101 to facilitate the sliding of the connecting rod ends. When locking, rotating the rotating handle changes the angle of the rotating block. Finally, when the rotating block is at a vertical 90° position, the ends of the upper and lower connecting rods slide into the holes on the container body 101, thus locking the hatch 104.

[0037] Specifically, the equipment module 103 includes one or more control devices, which are installed at the bottom of the cabin body 101 and arranged in a row.

[0038] Specifically, the installation mechanism includes a first rail 110 and a second rail 111. Both the first rail 110 and the second rail 111 are located inside the container body 101 and fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the container body 101 opposite to the opening. The first rail 110 and the second rail 111 are arranged side-by-side. The first rail 110 and the second rail 111 are used to engage and install control equipment. Specifically, the first rail 110 is located above the second rail 111. Specifically, the first rail 110 and the second rail 111 are fixedly connected to the container body 101 by screws.

[0039] Specifically, the power-off mechanism includes a third rail 112 and a circuit breaker 113. The third rail 112 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the container hull 101 near the opening, and the power module 102 is located on the same inner wall. The circuit breaker 113 is detachably connected to the third rail 112 and electrically connected to the power module 102 via a cable. Specifically, the third rail 112 is bolted to the container hull 101. Specifically, the circuit breaker 113 is directly engaged with the third rail 112.

[0040] Specifically, both voltmeter 106 and ammeter 107 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of hatch 104. Specifically, both voltmeter 106 and ammeter 107 are fixed to hatch 104 by bolts.

[0041] Furthermore, the equipment room also includes a lighting panel 108, which is located inside the container hull 101 and fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the container hull 101, for providing lighting during maintenance. Specifically, the lighting panel 108 is bolted to the top of the container hull 101.

[0042] Furthermore, the equipment room also includes a limit switch 109, which is located at the opening of the container hull 101. Optionally, the limit switch 109 is a commercially available product, JW2-11H / W1. Specifically, the limit switch 109 is bolted to the top of the container hull 101. When the hatch 104 is closed, the hatch 104 will push the limit switch 109, causing its internal contacts to actuate and cut off the power supply to the lighting panel 108; when the hatch 104 is opened, the power supply to the lighting panel 108 can be turned on with the cooperation of the limit switch 109.

[0043] When using this invention, the original DC row head cabinet power distribution link can be eliminated, the power distribution architecture is simplified, line loss is reduced, and the construction cycle and construction costs can be shortened at the same time. In use, firstly, by using a modular cabin to replace the original node equipment room civil building part, the construction cycle can be significantly shortened and construction costs can be saved. Then, the power module 102 will adopt the DC micro-module method, which can set the -48V switching power supply equipment at the head of the equipment row, and directly power the cabinet through the DC output panel, eliminating the original DC row head cabinet power distribution link, simplifying the power distribution architecture, reducing line loss, and thus achieving the goal of eliminating the original DC row head cabinet power distribution link, simplifying the power distribution architecture, reducing line loss, and simultaneously shortening the construction cycle and saving construction costs.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, where Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the computer room that is easy to install, as given in this embodiment. Based on the first embodiment, the second embodiment of the present invention provides a computer room that is easy to install. The computer room that is easy to install also includes a heat dissipation system, which includes a first heat dissipation fan 201 and a second heat dissipation fan 202. The sensors and the risk are all powered by the power module 102.

[0046] The first cooling fan 201 is fixedly connected to the top of the container body 101, and the second cooling fan 202 is fixedly connected to the container body 101 and located on the top of the container body 101. The first cooling fan 201 is installed on the top of the container body 101 by bolts and is installed symmetrically. The second cooling fan 202 is installed on the top of the container body 101 by bolts and is installed symmetrically.

[0047] In this embodiment, fan selection involves choosing the appropriate fan model and quantity based on the heat dissipation requirements and space size of the computer room. Industrial-grade fans or professional server fans can be selected, taking into account factors such as airflow, noise, and power. Fan placement involves rationally arranging the fans to ensure airflow covers all equipment within the computer room while avoiding airflow interference or eddies. Fans can be installed on the top, bottom, or sides of the computer room, depending on the specific circumstances. To improve heat dissipation, a reasonable airflow design is employed. Fans are positioned at the air inlets, expelling hot air from the outlets, allowing cool air to continuously enter the computer room while hot air is promptly expelled. Intelligent control is achieved by setting up a first cooling fan 201 and a second cooling fan 202, working in conjunction with the dustproof netting on the container body 101, and designing internal piping within the computer room, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation effect of the computer room.

[0048] Example 3:

[0049] like Figure 5 As shown, where Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of a computer room that is easy to install, as shown in this embodiment. Based on the first embodiment, the third embodiment of the present invention provides a computer room that is easy to install. The computer room that is easy to install also includes a detection system, which includes a first temperature sensor 301 and a display screen 302.

[0050] The first temperature sensor 301 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the shelter. The display screen 302 is mounted on the hatch 104 and is electrically connected to the first temperature sensor 301. Specifically, the first temperature sensor 301 is fixed to the shelter with bolts. Specifically, multiple first temperature sensors 301 are provided and arranged in a matrix array to increase the number of sampling points. Specifically, first temperature sensors 301 are provided on both opposite side walls of the shelter.

[0051] After the first temperature sensor 301 detects the temperature, it transmits the data to the control system. Then, the control system processes and calculates the data, causing the display screen 302 to display the data.

[0052] Secondly, the detection system also includes a second temperature sensor 303, which is fixedly connected to the top of the container 101 and electrically connected to the display screen 302. Specifically, the second temperature sensor 303 is fixed to the top of the container 101 with bolts and is arranged in a matrix array to increase the number of sampling points.

[0053] In this embodiment, by setting a first temperature sensor 301 and a second temperature sensor 303, the temperature inside the computer room can be sampled and detected at multiple points. After being processed by the control system, the data can be displayed on the display screen 302, which helps users to understand the working temperature inside the computer room in a timely manner.

[0054] This invention provides a convenient installation method and approach for computer rooms. Many methods and approaches exist for implementing this technical solution; the above description is merely a preferred embodiment. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
