Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of submarine data centers, and in particular to a method for arranging data cubes of a pipeline gallery-type submarine data center. Background Art

[0002] A submarine data center is a facility that places data servers on the seabed, usually in deep waters; the design is primarily intended to address challenges faced by traditional land-based data centers, such as space limitations, heat dissipation issues, and reducing operating costs.

[0003] The seabed environment is relatively complex, which brings challenges and difficulties to the maintenance of the data cabins of the seabed data center; these usually include: access difficulties, environmental impacts and equipment replacement, etc. Among them, environmental impacts refer to the erosion and damage of seawater to equipment, which increases the frequency and difficulty of maintenance.

[0004] Therefore, it is worth studying what method can be used to protect the data cabin of the submarine data center from seawater erosion and facilitate maintenance and upkeep by maintenance personnel. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above problems existing in the prior art and to greatly improve its technical effect on the basis of the original technology; firstly, the present invention provides a data cabin arrangement method for a pipeline corridor-type submarine data center, the method comprising:

[0006] Arrange the pipeline corridor of the submarine data center: According to the length and width of the submarine data center, clear a suitable and flat submarine area for arranging the submarine data center; first arrange the pipeline corridor foundation, which is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, forming a rectangular walkway at the bottom of the pipeline corridor; then, with the pipeline corridor foundation as the bottom, arrange the pipeline corridor body along the length direction of the pipeline corridor foundation into a rectangular parallelepiped structure with a passable corridor in the middle;

[0007] It is preset that the shelters are arranged horizontally on the main body of the corridor to form a submarine data center with shelters arranged horizontally. The width of the submarine data center is obtained by calculating the sum of the width of the corridor and twice the length of the shelters perpendicular to the corridor, and the length of the submarine data center is equal to the length of the corridor. The upper limit of the number of shelters to be arranged is calculated by the length and width of the submarine data center, the heating power of the shelters and the marine factors affecting heat dissipation. The formula for calculating the upper limit of the number of shelters to be arranged is:

[0008]

[0009] Where C is the specific heat capacity of water in the area, L1 is the length of the submarine data center, and L2 is the width of the submarine data center. is the average velocity of water in the area, h is the depth of water in the area, ρ is the density of water in the area, ΔT is the range limit of the temperature change of water in the ocean, Q is the heat generation power of a single submarine data cabin, [] is the rounding function, and n is the upper limit of the number of cabins arranged in the submarine data center;

[0010] The average speed calculation formula is:

[0011]

[0012] Where v(t) is a function of speed changing with time, t0 is the total time for obtaining monitoring data, which is equal to t2-t1, and t1 and t2 are the starting and ending time of extracting monitoring data respectively;

[0013] According to the upper limit of the number of cubicles to be arranged, data cubicles are arranged on both sides of the pipe gallery as needed; a waterproof channel is formed at the interface between the data cubicle and the pipe gallery to prevent seawater outside the pipe gallery from entering the cubicle, that is, when the cubicle door is open, the corridor and the cubicle form an independent sealing structure; staff can directly enter the cubicle through the corridor, which is convenient for staff to maintain, inspect and expand the cubicle.

[0014] Furthermore, the pipeline gallery foundation is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, including: the pipeline gallery foundation is horizontally laid on the seabed with materials including fiberglass, polyethylene and seawater concrete; the pipeline gallery body with the pipeline gallery foundation as the bottom and arranged along the length direction of the pipeline gallery foundation into a rectangular structure, and the middle corridor can pass through includes: the pipeline gallery body can also be arranged into a corridor structure with a cross-sectional shape of an arc chord; the two exits of the pipeline gallery body are controlled by underwater hatches, so that when the staff enters the corridor, seawater can be effectively prevented from entering the corridor, that is, the interior of the pipeline gallery body is designed as a corridor structure with ventilation and waterproofing suitable for the survival of personnel.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper limit of the number of cabins to be arranged is calculated by obtaining the length, width, heating power of the cabins and ocean factors affecting heat dissipation of the submarine data center, including: the principle for arranging the number of cabins in the submarine data center is that the total heat generated by the arranged cabins cannot be greater than the heat dissipation of seawater in the submarine data center area.

[0016] Further, the data cabins are arranged on both sides of the pipe gallery as required, including: if the number of cabins arranged on the pipe gallery body reaches an upper limit and n is an even number, the number of cabins arranged on both sides of the pipe gallery is the same; if the number of cabins arranged on the pipe gallery body reaches an upper limit and n is an odd number, the number of cabins arranged on both sides of the pipe gallery is one more on one side than on the other side; the principle of arranging the cabins is to arrange the number of cabins on both sides of the pipe gallery as equal as possible, which is beneficial to uniform heat dissipation; forming a waterproof channel at the interface between the data cabin and the pipe gallery includes: the interface between the data cabin and the pipe gallery must be completely sealed, connected by a hatch, allowing staff to pass through to maintain, inspect and expand the cabin.

[0017] Further, the data cubes are arranged on both sides of the pipe gallery according to the demand, and further include: after the number of arranged data cubes is determined, the spacing between adjacent cubes arranged on the pipe gallery, i.e., the arrangement density, can be obtained by calculation; assuming that n is an even number, and the width of the door at the connection between the cube and the pipe gallery is a, the arrangement density calculation formula of the data cube is:

[0018]

[0019] Among them, H0 is the distance between every two adjacent data cubes on the same side, L1 is the length of the corridor, and n is the total number of data cubes arranged in the corridor;

[0020] Similarly, when n is an odd number, the width of the door at the connection between the shelter and the corridor is a, and the calculation formulas for the density of the data shelters arranged on both sides of the corridor are:

[0021] and

[0022] Among them, H1 is arranged on one side of the pipe gallery The distance between the data shelters, H2 is arranged on one side of the corridor The distance between data cubes, L1 is the length of the corridor, and n is the total number of data cubes arranged in the corridor.

[0030] like Figure 1As shown, a flow chart of a data cabin arrangement method for a pipeline corridor-type submarine data center according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: step S100, arranging the pipeline corridor body of the submarine data center: according to the length and width of the submarine data center, clearing a suitable and flat submarine area for arranging the submarine data center; firstly arranging the pipeline corridor foundation, which is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, forming a rectangular walkway, located at the bottom of the pipeline corridor body; then, taking the pipeline corridor foundation as the bottom, arranging the pipeline corridor body with a rectangular parallelepiped structure and a passable middle corridor along the length direction of the pipeline corridor foundation; step S101, presetting the cabins to be arranged horizontally on the pipeline corridor body to form a submarine data center with cabins arranged horizontally; through The width of the submarine data center is obtained by calculating the sum of the width of the corridor body and twice the length of the cabin perpendicular to the corridor body, and the length of the submarine data center is equal to the length of the corridor body; the upper limit of the number of cabins to be arranged is calculated by the obtained length and width of the submarine data center, the heating power of the cabin and the marine factors affecting the heat dissipation; step S102, according to the obtained upper limit of the number of cabins to be arranged, the data cabins are arranged on both sides of the corridor as required; a waterproof channel is formed at the interface of the data cabin and the corridor to prevent seawater outside the corridor from entering the cabin, that is, when the cabin door is opened, the corridor and the cabin form an independent sealing structure; the staff can directly enter the cabin through the corridor, which is convenient for the staff to maintain, inspect and expand the cabin.

[0031] Specifically, the method first arranges the foundation of the corridor, which is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, forming a rectangular walkway located at the lower end of the corridor body; then, with the corridor foundation as the bottom, the corridor body in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped is arranged along the length direction of the corridor foundation; then, the square cabins are preset to be arranged horizontally on the corridor body to form a submarine data center with horizontally arranged square cabins; the width of the submarine data center is obtained by calculating the sum of the length of the corridor body and the length of the square cabins perpendicular to the direction of the corridor body, and the length of the submarine data center is equal to the length of the corridor body; the upper limit of the number of square cabins to be arranged is calculated by the obtained length and width of the submarine data center, the heating power of the square cabins and the marine factors affecting the heat dissipation; finally, according to the obtained upper limit of the number of square cabins to be arranged, data square cabins are arranged on both sides of the corridor as required.

[0032] Step S100, arrange the pipeline gallery body of the submarine data center: according to the length and width of the submarine data center, clear a suitable and flat submarine area for arranging the submarine data center; first arrange the pipeline gallery foundation, which is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, forming a rectangular walkway, located at the bottom of the pipeline gallery body; then, with the pipeline gallery foundation as the bottom, arrange the pipeline gallery body with a rectangular structure and a passable corridor in the middle along the length direction of the pipeline gallery foundation.

[0033] In the above embodiment, specifically, the pipeline gallery foundation is a rectangular structure arranged on the seabed, including: the pipeline gallery foundation is horizontally laid on the seabed with materials including fiberglass, polyethylene and seawater concrete; the pipeline gallery body with the pipeline gallery foundation as the bottom and arranged along the length direction of the pipeline gallery foundation into a rectangular structure, and the middle corridor can pass through includes: the pipeline gallery body can also be arranged into a corridor structure with a cross-sectional shape of an arc chord; the two exits of the pipeline gallery body are controlled by underwater hatches, so that when the staff enters the corridor, it can effectively prevent seawater from entering the corridor, that is, the interior of the pipeline gallery body is designed as a corridor structure with ventilation and waterproofing suitable for personnel survival.

[0034] In the above embodiment, preferably, the length of the generally arranged pipeline corridor does not exceed 130 meters; therefore, the length of the cleaned seabed area should be slightly larger than the length of the pipeline corridor, that is, the length of the seabed data center, which is conducive to arranging the entire seabed data center on the cleaned seabed area.
