[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that, in this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In this article, the terms "include", "comprise" or any other variants thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of further restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the existence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device including the element.

[0021] The inventor of this solution found that in the prior art, ordinary data centers usually adopt a fixed computer room structure, which has problems such as low space utilization, long deployment cycle, poor heat dissipation efficiency, and complex power management. These shortcomings not only affect the overall performance of the data center, but also increase the operation and maintenance costs and management difficulty. The embodiment of the present invention provides the following solution:

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a modular data center power supply and communication system, including a mounting frame 1, wherein the mounting frame 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting positions, including an upper mounting position and a lower mounting position. A server cabinet 2 is installed at the lower mounting position, and a plurality of server modules 21 using immersion liquid cooling are arranged in the server cabinet 2. A plurality of power distribution units 3, a plurality of switches 4, a PLC controller 5, and a human-computer interaction interface 6 are installed at the upper mounting position, and the power distribution unit 3 and the human-computer interaction interface 6 are electrically connected to the PLC controller 5, respectively. A wiring cavity is provided in the mounting frame 1 on both sides of the mounting position, and the cables of the server module 21 pass through the wiring cavity and are electrically connected to the power distribution unit 3 and the switch 4, respectively.

[0023] It should be noted that the various installation positions are linearly and evenly arranged next to each other, thereby increasing space utilization. Each installation position is individually installed with a server cabinet 2, a power distribution unit 3, a switch 4, a PLC controller 5, and a human-computer interaction interface 6, thereby forming an independent module, which can be designed, built and debugged in parallel, realizing the rapid deployment of the data center and greatly shortening the construction period of the data center. At the same time, it also has good scalability and can be flexibly expanded according to actual needs. The human-computer interaction interface 6 is not only used to display information, but also can collect data from the host computer through the ModbusRTU protocol or the ModbusTCP protocol, and then remotely operate after connecting through the network.

[0024] In terms of power supply, each power distribution unit 3 is connected to the server module 21 via the ModbusRTU protocol, and the output end of the power distribution unit 3 is directly connected to the power interface of the server module 21 to ensure that the server can obtain a stable power supply.

[0025] In terms of data transmission, Ethernet is used to connect the human-machine interface 6, the PLC controller 5 and the power distribution unit 3. As a client, the human-machine interface 6 exchanges data with the LC controller 5 through Ethernet, and the LC controller 5 then communicates with the power distribution unit 3.

[0026] The PLC controller 5 is the core control unit of the system and is responsible for coordinating the communication between various devices. The PLC controller 5 regularly collects the status information of the power distribution unit 3 and controls it according to the set logic, such as adjusting the switch status of the power supply, monitoring power consumption, etc., which not only improves the operating efficiency of the system, but also reduces the operation and maintenance costs.

[0027] When the business scale grows or the demand changes, only new installation positions need to be added, without large-scale transformation of the entire data center. Each installation position has independent power supply, cooling and network equipment, and resources can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to actual needs, which can not only reduce the operating cost of the data center, but also improve the energy efficiency of the data center. The installation positions in the mounting rack 1 can be stacked vertically or horizontally to expand the space of the modular data center in all directions of space.

[0028] In some embodiments, the server cabinet 2 is a fully enclosed sealed cabinet, and the server module 21 in the server cabinet 2 adopts immersion cooling technology and is immersed in the coolant to achieve efficient heat dissipation, ensuring that the equipment operates at an optimal temperature, further improving the stability and safety of the system. Specifically, twelve power distribution units 3 are arranged in parallel, and each power distribution unit 3 is equipped with two power lines and two switch interfaces, which are respectively connected to the twenty-four servers in the server cabinet 2.

[0029] In some embodiments, to ensure efficient operation of the system, the IP address of each device adopts a static IP configuration, and the communication between the human-machine interface 6 and the PLC controller 5 and between the PLC controller 5 and the power distribution unit 3 is based on the IP address. It is understandable that when the IP address of the device needs to be changed, the program in the human-machine interface 6 or the PLC controller 5 needs to be updated at the same time to avoid communication failures.

[0030] In some embodiments, the mounting frame 1 includes a plurality of upper transverse brackets 11, lower transverse brackets 12, and vertical brackets 13, and the upper transverse brackets 11 and the lower transverse brackets 12 are respectively connected between two adjacent vertical brackets 13. The area enclosed by the upper transverse brackets 11 and the lower transverse brackets 12 and the two adjacent vertical brackets 13 forms a lower mounting position, and the upper area enclosed by the upper transverse brackets 11 and the two adjacent vertical brackets 13 forms an upper mounting position.

[0031] In some embodiments, a wiring cavity is provided in the vertical bracket 13, and wire holes are provided above and below the vertical bracket 13. It is understandable that various cables of the server module 21 can enter the wiring cavity through the wire holes, and then be connected to the power distribution unit 3 and the switch 4 from the wiring cavity.

[0032] In some embodiments, the switch 4 is sequentially installed on the upper horizontal bracket 11 along the length direction of the server cabinet 2, the power distribution unit 3 is sequentially arranged on the switch 4 along the length direction of the server cabinet 2, the PLC controller 5 is arranged on one side of the power distribution unit 3, and the human-computer interaction interface 6 is arranged on one side of the PLC controller 5, so that the entire layout is more reasonable and the space utilization rate is higher.

[0033] In some embodiments, an anti-skid pad 131 is provided at the bottom of the vertical bracket 13 to increase the stability of the entire mounting frame 1 .

[0034] In some embodiments, a detachable cover is provided on the top of the server cabinet 2, and the cover is provided with a wire connection hole.

[0035] It should be noted that the cover is designed to be detachable for easy maintenance and overhaul, and the wire connection holes on the cover are used to connect external power and communication lines to ensure the normal operation of the equipment inside the server cabinet 2. At the same time, the sealing structure of the server cabinet 2 can effectively prevent external dust and pollutants from entering the interior of the server cabinet 2, ensuring the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0036] In some embodiments, the power distribution unit 3 is provided with a display screen for displaying real-time current and power.

[0037] In some embodiments, the power distribution unit 3 is provided with a circuit breaker for protecting the line, which can automatically cut off the circuit when a serious overload, short circuit or undervoltage fault occurs, and also has self-checking and live plug-in functions. Specifically, according to the ModbusTCP communication address table provided by the power distribution unit manufacturer, the PLC controller 5 realizes the collection of the switch state, power and total power of the power distribution unit 3, and controls the closing and disconnecting functions of the relay of the power distribution unit 3, so as to effectively monitor and manage the power supply of the data center and improve the operating efficiency and safety of the system.

[0038] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a modular data center power supply and communication system, which improves the space utilization by setting up multiple compact installation positions, and each device is independently installed in each installation position and independently powered, so that resources can be flexibly configured and adjusted according to actual needs. This greatly reduces maintenance costs and management difficulties, improves reliability and flexibility, and meets the needs of modern information equipment.
