[0002] Traditional data centers generate a lot of heat due to dense equipment, resulting in high cooling costs. In order to address energy consumption and cooling efficiency issues, the concept of underwater data centers has gradually been proposed and has received widespread attention. Underwater data centers use the natural low temperature environment of seawater to cool equipment and have many significant advantages. First, the cooling effect of seawater can greatly reduce the energy consumption of data centers and improve the energy efficiency of overall operations.

[0016] Beneficial Effects

[0017] Technical effects and advantages of the underwater data center rack device capable of reducing attachments:

[0018] When the rack device for the underwater data center capable of reducing attachments is used, the underwater data center is set in the cavity of the rotating sleeve. Since the seawater has tidal movement, when the seawater moves tidally, the seawater will push the rotating sleeve to rotate on the top of the upper frame, making the flow of seawater on the surface of the rotating sleeve complicated, which is not conducive to the attachment of marine organisms and affects the state of the organisms in the seawater attached to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. When the rack device for the underwater data center capable of reducing attachments is used, the rotating sleeve can be rotated to reduce the amount of marine organisms attached to the outer wall without affecting the environment.

[0019] When the seawater moves tidally, the cover shell will move before the rotating sleeve because its weight is smaller than the mass of the rotating sleeve and the underwater data center. The cover shell located on the front side will move and squeeze the seawater into the folded water bag on that side, while the cover shell located on the rear side in the direction of seawater movement will be blocked by the slider and cannot move. When the tidal movement drives the rotating sleeve to move, the water in the folded water bag on the front side in the direction of seawater movement is squeezed into the gap between the rotating sleeve and the underwater data center, and the seawater flows out from the water holes on the rotating sleeve, which can increase the complexity of seawater flow to a certain extent and further reduce the amount of marine organisms attached to the outer wall.

[0039] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be implemented without one or more of these details. In order to avoid confusion with the present invention, some technical features known in the art are not described.

[0040] Unless otherwise defined, the up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside directions involved in this document are based on the up, down, left, right, front, back, inside and outside directions in the figures shown in the present invention, and are explained here together.

[0041] The connection method can adopt existing methods such as bonding, welding, bolt connection, etc., depending on actual needs.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 7A rack device for an underwater data center that can reduce attachments is shown, including a frame mechanism 1 and a rotating mechanism 2, wherein the frame mechanism 1 is used to support and limit the position of the rotating mechanism 2, the underwater data center is stored in the cavity of the rotating mechanism 2, and there is a gap between the underwater data center and the inner wall of the rotating mechanism 2. The above-mentioned frame mechanism 1 includes an upper frame 101 and a lower frame 102. When setting, it is necessary to keep the upper frame 101 and the lower frame 102 in a horizontal state. This setting method can enable the rotating sleeve 21 to move under the action of seawater tidal movement, reduce the influence of gravity factors on the movement of the rotating sleeve 21 in an inclined state, and facilitate the movement of the rotating sleeve 21.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, inclined struts 103 and square plates 104 are provided at the bottom of the lower frame 102. The inclined struts 103 and square plates 104 are used to be fixed on the seabed to fix the position of the frame mechanism 1 so that the frame mechanism 1 is located on the seabed and is in a fixed state.

[0044] Tooth plates 111 are provided on both sides of the top of the upper frame 101, and side plates 112 are fixed on the separated sides of the two tooth plates 111 on the top of the upper frame 101. The rotating mechanism 2 includes a rotating sleeve 21, and tooth rings 23 are fixed on both side walls outside the cavity of the rotating sleeve 21, and the tooth rings 23 are meshed and connected to the tooth plates 111.

[0045] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, when the seawater moves tidally, the seawater acts on the rotating sleeve 21, causing the rotating sleeve 21 to move on the tooth plate 111 on the upper frame 101, thereby changing the angle of the rotating sleeve 21. The side wall of the rotating sleeve 21 is provided with a plurality of water holes 22 for flowing water, which can make the seawater on the side wall of the rotating sleeve 21 flow irregularly, thereby reducing the probability of marine organisms attaching to the rotating sleeve 21.

[0046] Baffles 114 are fixed on the top of the opposite sides of the two side plates 112. The baffles 114 can protect marine life from entering the gaps between the teeth on the gear ring 23 from above to a certain extent, thereby reducing the probability of marine life entering the gaps between the teeth of the gear ring 23 and reducing the influence of marine life on the rotation effect of the rotating sleeve 21.

[0047] In this embodiment, a rectangular cutout 113 is provided on the two side panels 112, and a water inlet mechanism 3 connected to the rotating sleeve 21 is provided in each of the rectangular cutouts 113. Limiting sleeves 24 are provided on both side walls of the rotating sleeve 21, and the limiting sleeves 24 on each side are coaxial with the gear ring 23. Each of the water inlet mechanisms 3 includes a rotating sleeve block 301, which is rotatably connected to the limiting sleeve 24, and a slider 302 slidably connected to the rectangular cutout 113 is fixed on the side of the rotating sleeve block 301 away from the rotating sleeve 21.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the rotating sleeve block 301 is rotatably connected to the limiting sleeve 24 , and the slider 302 can move together with the rotating sleeve 21 , and the movement range of the rotating sleeve 21 can be limited by the slider 302 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the rectangular cutout 113 of each of the side panels 112 is slidably connected to two blocks 311, the two blocks 311 are separated by a slider 302, a cover 312 is fixed to the side of the block 311 away from the rotating sleeve 21, the side of the cover 312 away from the slider 302 is bent, and a fixing block 121 acting on the cover 312 is fixed to the side of the side panel 112 away from the rotating sleeve 21.

[0050] A tee pipe 304 is fixed on one side of the slider 302 away from the rotating sleeve 21 . The tee pipe 304 is a straight tee. The branch pipe runs through the slider 302 . Each joint of the main pipe is connected to a foldable water bag 305 . Each foldable water bag 305 is fixed to one of the cover shells 312 .

[0051] The interior of the cover shell 312 is divided into a first compartment 314 and a second compartment 315 by a partition plate 313. Two rotating shafts 321 are provided through the first compartment 314 and the second compartment 315. The rotating shaft 321 in the first compartment 314 is fixed with a rotating plate 323 via a connecting rod 322. The top wall and the bottom wall of the first compartment 314 are both provided with a first incision 3141 that penetrates through. The connecting rod 322 is located in the first incision 3141. A sealing plate 325 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating shaft 321 in the second compartment 315. A second incision 3151 is provided in the second compartment 315. A connecting port 316 is provided through the cover shell 312 at the position of the second compartment 315. The second compartment 315 is connected with the foldable water bag 305 via the connecting port 316. The fixing block 121 is provided with a groove 122 . When the two sealing plates 325 are in the same plane, the sealing plates 325 are attached to the second cutout 3151 , and the sealing plates 325 are attached to the groove 122 .

[0052] When designing the technical solution, the second compartment 315 of the cover shell 312 , the folded water bag 305 , and the three-way pipe 304 are connected, and the three-way pipe 304 is connected to the space inside the rotating sleeve 21 through the slider 302 .

[0053] like Figure 2-Figure 7 As shown, two covers 312 are provided on each side plate 112. When the seawater moves tidally, the seawater acts on the cover 312, the rotating plate 323 of the cover 312 and the rotating sleeve 21. Since the mass of the rotating sleeve 21 is too large, the seawater will first move the cover 312 and the rotating plate 323.

[0054] The rotating plate 323 located on the front side of the cover shell 312 in the direction of seawater flow will be rotated by the seawater, and the rotating plate 323 drives the sealing plate 325 to rotate, so that the two sealing plates 325 rotate and separate to form a gap, so that seawater can enter the folding water bag 305 from the gap through the connecting port 316. At this time, the rotating plate 323 on the rear side of the cover shell 312 in the direction of seawater flow cannot rotate due to the restriction of the first incision 3141, and seawater will not enter the folding water bag 305 on this side. This process can store water in the folding water bag 305 located on the front side of the direction of seawater flow. The folding water bag 305 stretches out and sticks to the fixed block 121 on the front side of the direction of seawater flow. The fixed block 121 is against the second incision 3151 of the cover shell 312, so that seawater will not flow into the cover shell 312 or flow out of the cover shell 312.

[0055] When the rotating sleeve 21 starts to move, the cover shell 312 located on the rear side of the seawater flow direction will move together with the rotating sleeve 21. At this time, the folded water bag 305 located on the front side of the seawater flow direction will be compressed, so that the water in the folded water bag 305 flows into the cavity of the rotating sleeve 21 through the three-way pipe 304, and then the seawater flows out from the water hole 22 of the rotating sleeve 21. This process can further disrupt the state of seawater flow on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 21 and reduce the probability of marine organisms attaching to the rotating sleeve 21.

[0056] In this embodiment, a matching block 324 is provided on one side of each connecting rod 322 close to the sliding block 302 , and push rods 303 acting on the matching block 324 are fixed on both sides of the connecting rod 322 .

[0057] like Figure 5-Figure 7 As shown, when the rotating sleeve 21 approaches the cover shell 312 located on the front side of the seawater flow direction, the top rod 303 acts on the matching block 324 to reset the rotating plate 323 and the sealing plate 325 that are rotated by the seawater, so as to facilitate the seawater to enter another foldable water bag 305 when the seawater flows in the reverse direction.

[0058] Working principle:

[0059] When using the rack device for the underwater data center that can reduce attachments, the underwater data center is set in the cavity of the rotating sleeve 21. Due to the tidal movement of seawater, when the seawater moves tidally, since the rotating sleeve 21 is not completely fixed, the seawater will push the rotating sleeve 21 to move on the top of the upper frame 101. The rotating sleeve 21 will rotate on the top of the upper frame 101 under the action of the gear ring 23 and the gear plate 111. After the rotating sleeve 21 rotates, its relative up and down position outside the cavity changes, and this process will make the flow of seawater on the surface of the rotating sleeve 21 complicated, which is not conducive to the attachment of marine organisms and affects the state of the organisms in the seawater attached to the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 21.

[0060] When the seawater tide moves, since the weight of the cover shell 312 is less than the weight of the rotating sleeve 21 and the underwater data center, the cover shell 312 will move before the rotating sleeve 21, and the two rotating plates 323 on the cover shell 312 located on the front side of the seawater movement direction will rotate under the action of seawater and can form a gap, and the two rotating plates 323 on the cover shell 312 located on the rear side of the seawater movement direction will not rotate. At this time, when the seawater continues to flow, it will move with the cover shell 312 located on the front side and squeeze the seawater into the folding water bag 305 on this side, while the cover shell 312 located on the rear side of the seawater movement direction will be blocked by the slider 302 and cannot move. When the tidal movement drives the rotating sleeve 21 to move, the slider 302 and the cover shell 312 located on the rear side of the seawater movement direction move together, squeezing the water in the folding water bag 305 located on the front side of the seawater movement direction to flow into the gap between the rotating sleeve 21 and the underwater data center, and the seawater flows out from the water hole 22 on the rotating sleeve 21.

[0061] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
