DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In today's digital age, with the development of new-generation information technology, the digital transformation of enterprises, and the deepening of the development of the digital economy, computing power application scenarios continue to emerge, the "East Data West Computing" project will be further deepened, and the demand for data centers will steadily increase. In the future, the construction of domestic data centers will continue to increase. Data centers have become the key infrastructure supporting the Internet economy. The traditional data center construction plan adopts on-site construction. That is, moving materials to the site and building them little by little from scratch. This kind of on-site engineering is highly complex, construction management is difficult, the construction cycle is long, and the engineering quality is uncontrollable. In addition, the engineering product adaptation redundancy is poor; engineering materials cannot be reused; the integration is low; the design cycle is long, the flexibility is poor; and the construction cost is high.

[0038] Cause:

[0039] 1. The traditional construction plan uses on-site construction and data center equipment is hoisted and installed manually, which has a certain impact on the building structure (breaking the floor steel bars, damaging the reinforced carbon fiber, and affecting the reinforcement effect). The cross-construction of the hanger and other construction work affects each other, affecting the entire delivery process. The installation time of the hanger affects the subsequent processes (such as the ceiling, which prolongs the ceiling progress).

[0040] 2. The progress of purchasing materials is not uniform, resulting in low efficiency of construction progress.

[0041] 3. There are many construction units to coordinate on site, and the project quality is uncontrollable.

[0042] 4. On-site manual processing and production, the construction quality depends on the construction quality and on-site management, and there is a certain risk of rectification.

[0043] The revolution in the construction of digital economy infrastructure has transformed from the historical human-wave tactics, low efficiency, low quality, and high cost to a modern and cross-historical construction concept. Highly integrated, factory-prefabricated, and de-engineered data centers are an effective method to improve the operational efficiency of data centers, reduce costs, shorten construction cycles, and improve service quality. This is an important direction for the development of data centers. In response to many problems in the prior art, this application proposes a flexible assembly design concept to achieve the following effects:

[0044] Fast and flexible prefabricated design: Adapt to changes in demand and conduct flexible prefabricated design; rapid research and development enables rapid order production, forming an independent, flexibly combined modular integrated flexible deployment, thereby achieving rapid construction, efficient operation and low-cost manufacturing.

[0045] Factory prefabrication: Factory prefabrication means that each component is prefabricated in the factory and quickly installed and debugged on site. This can greatly shorten the construction period and ensure the quality and performance of the module.

[0046] High efficiency and high integration: High integration is a new design concept, which is combined with advanced power supply and distribution, refrigeration and other technologies to achieve high efficiency and energy saving. Dynamic adjustment is made according to actual load to further reduce energy consumption.

[0047] Adaptability, efficiency and flexibility: Improve construction efficiency, with high flexibility and scalability. Effectively deal with the uncertainty of business development and improve adaptability.

[0048] Fast delivery: Prefabrication and de-engineering can achieve short production cycles, rapid deployment, and flexible construction.

[0049] The so-called flexibility of the flexible prefabricated data center in the present invention refers to the adaptability of the flexible prefabricated data center solution to the internal and external environment of the data center, and also refers to the ability of the flexible prefabricated data center solution to adapt to changes in demand. The meaning of elastic adaptation in the present invention is the same as flexibility.

[0050] Assembly (English: Assembly) is also called assembly, which is the last stage in the entire prefabricated data center manufacturing process. It is the process of combining several parts into components or parts or combining several parts components into product DC according to the specified technical requirements.

[0051] Flexible assembly is an advanced assembly method that can adapt to rapid development and production and low-cost manufacturing requirements, and is modular and reconfigurable. It has the characteristics of automation, digitization, and integration.

[0052] Traditional assembly (rigid assembly) is rigid, fixed, and manual-based, while flexible assembly is moving towards automation, mobility, and digitization.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] The flexible prefabricated data center of this embodiment includes many module units arranged together. Multiple module units are arranged side by side to form a data center. The data center is divided into many independent module units. Many module units together constitute a data center. First, this embodiment provides a data center module unit, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes two groups of sub-units arranged side by side, and the sub-units include a cabinet module 1 and an air conditioning module 3 arranged at intervals from bottom to top. The space between the cabinet module 1 and the air conditioning module 3 constitutes a wiring support unit 2. The two groups of sub-units are connected by a top sealing plate 8, and a cold / hot channel is formed between the two groups of sub-units. The end of the data center module unit is provided with a configuration module, and the configuration module includes a row head cabinet 5, a row head incoming line box 12, an ODF box 4 and an intelligent management box 7. The cabinet module 1, the wiring support unit 2, the air conditioning module 3 and the configuration module are detachably arranged in a module support frame 9, and the module support frame 9 and / or each module of the sub-unit can be prefabricated and flexibly adapted. The traditional solution requires additional materials to build a closed channel as a cold / hot channel, but the present invention can naturally form a cold / hot channel between the equipment without the need for additional construction.

[0064] The data center and module units of this embodiment adopt modular prefabrication and flexible assembly design concepts. By prefabricating each module in advance, each module can be quickly assembled on site when the data center is newly built or repaired. Specifically, the module unit includes a module support frame 9, each module is arranged in the module support frame 9, and the module support frame 9 includes a plurality of columns arranged at intervals. Taking the cabinet module 1 as an example, the column spacing can be designed to be 2400mm, so that cabinets with a width of 800mm or 600mm can be flexibly arranged between the columns. Above the cabinet is a wiring support unit 2, which serves as a redundant integrated bridge. A 350mm redundant sealing plate is used to seal the cabinet and the integrated bridge, which is suitable for cabinets with a height of 2200mm or 2550mm. The cold / hot channel between the two sub-units can protrude 1000mm from the integrated bridge as a supply / return air space. If a micro-module mode is adopted, a 1000mm supply / return air space is not required on the top. The data center module unit is suspended and 250mm to 320mm from the ground. In this embodiment, the bottom frame is raised by 300mm, and the total height is 3500mm. The head cabinet 5 can adopt a 2550mm head cabinet 5 to achieve a larger cabinet space, so as to meet more switch layout requirements, because the general cabinet contains a large number of acquisition modules and switches, which occupy a large space, resulting in less cable space. A 650mm double-opening inspection door junction box is used above the head cabinet 5, and the internal space is used for in-and-out wiring and backup switch settings. The junction box can be laid according to the cable laying, and spare switches and zero-ground rows are reserved in the door to facilitate the later capacity expansion wiring and avoid the risk of live operation.

[0065] This embodiment adopts a fast and flexible assembly design to adapt to changes in demand, quickly develop and realize fast order production, and form an independent, flexibly combined module integrated deployment, thereby realizing rapid construction, efficient operation, and low-cost manufacturing. Each component is pre-made in the factory and quickly installed and debugged on site. The construction cycle can be greatly shortened and the quality and performance of the module can be guaranteed. Prefabrication and de-engineering can achieve short production cycle, rapid deployment, flexible construction, improve construction efficiency, and have high flexibility and scalability. Effectively respond to the uncertainty of business development and improve adaptability. In addition, according to Moore's Law, the power consumption of servers is always increasing year by year. In order to ensure that there is no power failure in the old computer room with insufficient cabinet power, some positions would rather be wasted. Such waste not only causes a reduction in space utilization, but also causes a decrease in power utilization and refrigeration mismatch. The flexible assembly design can realize partial replacement, adjustment or partial separate configuration of the data center or module unit, thereby avoiding the overall replacement or configuration of the cabinet, improving the flexible management of the data center or module unit, and improving resource utilization.

[0066] Traditional bridges need to be fixed by using hangers, which have a certain impact on the building structure (breaking the floor steel bars, damaging the reinforced carbon fibers, and affecting the reinforcement effect). In this embodiment, the space between the cabinet module 1 and the air-conditioning module 3 is used to arrange the lines and various pipelines, etc., to form a wiring support unit 2, which serves as a bridge. The bridge is fixed above the cabinet without the need for additional support. The modules are isolated and supported by various frames of the module support frame 9. For example, the horizontal bars or vertical bars in the module support frame 9 can be arranged at intervals below the air-conditioning module 3, so that the air-conditioning module 3 can be supported while being isolated from the wiring support unit 2. Similarly, the wiring support unit 2 and the cabinet module 1 can also be isolated by using horizontal bars or vertical bars arranged at intervals, as well as supporting objects such as cables or pipes in the wiring support unit. Figure 3 As shown, the wiring support unit 2 includes a strong current trough 201, a weak current trough 202, and a redundant reserved trough 203 located between the strong current trough 201 and the weak current trough 202. The strong current trough 201 and the weak current trough 202 both include an upper and lower layer, and are divided into A and B paths with different routes. An adjustable baffle 204 can also be set between the strong current trough 201 and the weak current trough to play the role of isolating the strong and weak wire troughs, and the width of the strong and weak wire troughs can be flexibly adjusted. The redundant reserved trough Channel 203 is used for arranging air-conditioning refrigerant pipes, condensation drain pipes, etc. The redundant baffle of the redundant reserved channel 203 is fixed with an industrial connector 205, which is beautiful and firm and can be connected to other components. A U groove 207 is provided on the main frame of the weak current side panel, and the upper and lower layers have a total of 6U, which can be used to arrange network distribution frames, cable organizers, etc. Cold / hot channel sealing plates 206 are provided on both sides of the bridge to block the cold / hot channels. They are fixed by buckles and can be easily disassembled and assembled when laying cables or for maintenance. They are simple and flexible.

[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cabinet module 1 and / or the air conditioning module 3 include a plurality of cabinets and / or air conditioners arranged side by side, the module support frame 9 includes a plurality of unit frames, and the plurality of unit frames may be included between the above-mentioned columns, and the cabinet and / or air conditioner is arranged in the unit frame. Furthermore, a water receiving tray 13 is provided between the air conditioning module 3 and the wiring support unit 2, for collecting water generated by the air conditioning in the air conditioning module 3. The traditional solution requires a separate air conditioning room to be set up for placing the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the air conditioner is integrated into the top of the cabinet, and there is no need to set up a separate air conditioning room.

[0068] The cold / hot channel in the present invention means that, depending on the configuration or design of the equipment, this channel can be used as a cold channel or a hot channel. Figure 4As shown, the air inlets of the two rows of cabinets in the data center module unit are arranged relatively to each other, and the air outlets 303 of the two rows of air conditioners are also arranged relatively to each other, and the air inlets of the cabinets and the air outlets 303 of the air conditioners are both located on both sides of the cold / hot channel, and the air outlets of the two rows of cabinets in the data center module unit are arranged back to back, and are respectively located on the side of the cabinet away from the cold / hot channel. That is to say, the air inlet and outlet of the cabinet are set in opposite directions to the air inlet 302 and air outlet 303 of the air conditioner. The air inlet of the two rows of cabinets faces the channel, and the air outlet faces the outside of the subunit. Correspondingly, the air outlet 303 of the upper air conditioner is set to face the inside of the channel, and the air inlet 302 faces the outside of the subunit. In fact, at this time, the cold / hot channel between the subunits is a cold channel, and the channel outside the module unit, that is, the channel between the module units, is a hot channel. The hot air discharged from the cabinet air outlet rises to the air inlet 302 of the upper air conditioner through the hot channels on both sides, is cooled by the air conditioner, and is discharged through the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner. The cold air discharged from the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner sinks to the bottom through the cold channel and enters the air inlet of the cabinet to cool down the cabinet. Optionally, a design opposite to the above scheme may be adopted, such as the air outlets of the two rows of cabinets facing the channel, and the air inlets facing the outside of the subunits. Accordingly, the air inlet 302 of the upper air conditioner is set to face the inside of the channel, and the air outlet 303 is set to face the outside of the subunit. At this time, the cold / hot channel between the subunits is a hot channel, and the channel outside the module unit, that is, the channel between the module units, is a cold channel. The hot air discharged from the cabinet air outlet rises to the air inlet of the upper air conditioner through the hot channel between the two, and is cooled by the air conditioner before being discharged through the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner. The cold air discharged from the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner sinks to the bottom through the cold channels on both sides of the module unit and enters the air inlet of the cabinet to cool the cabinet. In order to better guide the cold air from the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner into the cold channel, or to collect the hot air in the hot channel into the air inlet 302 of the air conditioner more quickly, the air inlet 302 or air outlet 303 of the air conditioner arranged opposite to each other on both sides of the cold / hot channel form an inclined surface facing the lower cold / hot channel, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air outlet 303 is made into an inclined surface, which makes it easier for cold air to be introduced downward into the cold channel, thereby reducing energy waste.

[0069] Compared with traditional air conditioners, the air conditioning system of this embodiment saves space. A supply / return air window 10 is provided on the upper part of the cold / hot channel. When the middle is a hot channel, the supply / return air window 10 is a hot return air window, and when the middle is a cold channel, the supply / return air window 10 is a cold supply air window. The supply / return air window 10 divides the space into two parts by arranging a spacing component in the space between two rows of air conditioners, which is beneficial to quickly guide the horizontal cold air blown out of the air outlet 303 of the air conditioner to form a downward cold air flow, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the cabinet and saving energy.

[0070] Since the wiring support unit 2 of the present embodiment is arranged below the air-conditioning module 3, the air-conditioning cooling will produce condensed water, which will continuously drip into the water receiving tray 13 below. When the water receiving tray is partially damaged or the condensed water of the air-conditioning drips into the water receiving tray 13, water droplets will occasionally splash out. Water leaks in some non-drip locations will occasionally cause water droplets to drip outside the water receiving tray 13. The wiring support unit 2 of the present embodiment is a comprehensive bridge frame, which integrates various pipes and cables, including water pipes, cable protection pipes, cables and connecting equipment, etc. The water pipe arrangement in the bridge frame and the design close to the air-conditioning module 3 make the air humidity in the wiring support unit 2 of the present embodiment may be higher than normal, and cables, electrical interfaces and other facilities are usually not allowed to be used in a humid environment, which is prone to electrical accidents. Therefore, in some embodiments, the present invention can also solve the problem of cabinet cooling and moisture of components and cables in the wiring support unit through another return air system. Figure 5As shown, the system includes a return air channel connecting the air conditioning module 3, the wiring support unit 2 and the cabinet module 1. The return air channel is arranged in the space between the two sub-modules, including a hot air channel 301 and a cold air channel 306. The hot air channel 301 is located on both sides of the cold air channel 306, and passes through the cabinet air outlet, the inside of the wiring support unit 2, and the air inlet 302 of the air conditioning module 3. Among them, the first partition 304 on the side adjacent to the wiring support unit 2 and the air conditioning module 3 can be arranged to be hollow or grille, which can support the air conditioning module 3 on the one hand and facilitate the passage of hot air on the other hand. The wiring support unit 2 is connected with the space at the air inlet 302 of the air conditioning module 3 to form a continuous channel. The air conditioning module 3 can be directly arranged close to the first partition 304 of the wiring support unit 2, or a certain space can be directly set inside the wiring support unit 2 for the hot air to pass through, thereby leaving more space for the hot air to pass through, making the hot air return more efficient. The second partition 305 on the inner side of the wiring support unit 2 can be set to a hollow shape or a grille, which can prevent the equipment or cables in the bridge from falling and facilitate the passage of hot air. Since the air inlet 302 of the air conditioner continuously sucks air inward, a negative pressure is formed in the hot air channel 301. The heat generated by the cabinet continuously rises in the hot air channel 301 under the action of negative pressure and the principle of hot air rising, and enters the wiring support unit 2 through the second partition 305 on the inner side of the bridge. The moisture in the humid environment in the bridge is instantly vaporized under the action of dry hot air, and the vaporization of moisture absorbs part of the heat of the hot air, so that the hot air can be cooled. In other words, the hot air in the hot air channel 301 not only dries the humid environment in the bridge during the process of returning to the air conditioner, but also cools the hot air in turn due to the humid environment in the bridge, thereby reducing the energy consumption of air conditioning refrigeration. The cold air channel 306 is completely isolated from the hot air channel 301. The cold air channel 306 is connected to the space between the air conditioning modules 3 on both sides, and the intermediate space between the wiring support unit 2 and the cabinet module 1 below, so that the cold air blown out of the air conditioning outlet 303 is delivered to the bottom through the cold air channel 306. The cold air channel 306 and the hot air channel 301 are connected through the connecting space at the bottom of the module unit. The cold air reaches the connecting space in the cold air channel 306 and accumulates, and enters the hot air channel 301 through the connecting space. As the cold air sinks and the hot air rises, the hot air rises in the hot air channel 301. The cold air continues to increase in the hot air channel 301 under the action of the continuous accumulation of cold air in the upper part, thereby cooling the cabinet. In order to reduce the heat exchange between the cold air and the hot air and save energy, baffles 14 can also be set on both sides of the cold air channel 306 to isolate the cold air from the hot air, forming a relatively closed cold air channel 306 and hot air channel 301.

[0071] In addition, in some embodiments, it is also possible to use Figure 6 Another return air system shown, compared to Figure 4 and Figure 5In the system, this system will Figure 4 and Figure 5 Combined with the system, the air outlet and air inlet of the cabinet are set to Figure 4 The design is similar to the scheme in the previous section, that is, the air inlets of the two rows of cabinets face the channel, and the air outlets face the outside of the subunits. The design above the cabinet continues Figure 5 In the design, the hot air generated by the cabinet is discharged through the outside of the subunit, and only cold air is in the channel, so the cooling efficiency is higher. The hot air outside the subunit enters the inside of the bridge under the action of the negative pressure in the hot air channel 301 at the bridge, and the equipment and cables in the bridge are dried and dehumidified. In this solution, the baffle 14 at the cold air channel 306 can be made shorter, covering only the side of the bridge, or the baffle 14 can be omitted, and the side of the bridge can be directly set as a closed side panel, thereby preventing heat exchange between hot air and cold air and saving energy. In order to allow more hot air to enter the bridge, a baffle 14 can be set on the outside of the bridge to guide the upward hot air, thereby further increasing the amount of hot air entering the bridge and improving the drying and dehumidification efficiency.

[0072] In some embodiments, a hot channel door 11 is also provided at the end of the data center module unit to facilitate entry into the channel for inspection and maintenance of equipment.

[0073] In some embodiments, the data center module unit further includes a lighting module 6, which is arranged along both sides of the subunit. In this embodiment, the lighting module is located between the air conditioning module 3 and the wiring support unit 2. In this way, there are lighting modules 6 on both sides of the module unit and in the cold / hot aisle in the middle, which is convenient for observing the equipment status. The lighting module 6 can be a light strip, an LED light arranged at intervals, a strip LED light, etc.

[0074] This embodiment also provides a flexible prefabricated data center, which includes a plurality of the above-mentioned module units.

[0075] Finally, this embodiment also provides a flexible prefabricated data center construction method, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 The following is a photo of the construction site of this method, which includes:

[0076] Prefabricated module support frame 9 and modules;

[0077] Install the prefabricated module support frame 9 at the target location;

[0078] Install the prefabricated cabinet module 1 in the module support frame 9;

[0079] Install the prefabricated redundant channel support frame module on the top of the cabinet module 1 to form a wiring support unit 2;

[0080] Install the prefabricated air conditioning module 3 on the top of the wiring support unit 2;

[0081] Set up hot / cold aisles;

[0082] Install the top sealing plate 8.

[0083] The redundant slot support frame module here is the horizontal bar or vertical bar in the module support frame 9 used to support and isolate the air-conditioning module 3 and the cabinet module 1, forming a so-called redundant slot support frame, which serves as a wiring support unit 2 to lay cables, pipes and related equipment.

[0084] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a flexible prefabricated design to divide the data center into multiple components that are prefabricated in the factory in advance, and can be quickly installed and debugged on site, which can greatly shorten the construction period and ensure the quality and performance of the module. The wiring support unit is automatically generated and set in the area above the cabinet, avoiding damage to the building structure and greatly improving the engineering efficiency. In addition, the design of the flexible prefabricated module forms an independent, flexibly combined module integrated deployment, and the architecture solution is expandable, which improves the flexibility of local adjustment and replacement of the data center, and can realize the flexible prefabricated expansion of the data center, shortening the construction period. Quickly respond to market demand and save resources.

[0085] 1. The construction content is reduced. The traditional approach is that all disciplines need to be constructed on site; the approach of this plan is to complete it in a unified factory.

[0086] 2. Reduced procurement costs. The traditional approach is to purchase equipment and building materials according to professional standards. The approach of this solution is one-stop procurement.

[0087] 3. The construction cost of the project is reduced. The traditional practice is that each discipline has construction costs; the approach of this plan is that it is completed by a unified manufacturer.

[0088] 4. Highly integrated. Traditionally, hot and cold channels, bridges, intelligent power distribution cabinets, precision air conditioners, ODF cabinets, auxiliary network cabinets, lighting, intelligent systems, etc. must be purchased separately from different manufacturers, processed on site and installed independently. This solution integrates the above systems into one device, with unified design, unified factory production and unified installation.

[0089] 5. Process optimization and reduction in the number of components. The traditional approach is to purchase each system equipment and material separately and construct them on site. The approach of this solution is: this solution does not require the separate purchase of each system equipment and material, but rather the on-site assembly of parts produced in the factory to automatically generate the required system functions.

[0090] 6. The data center saves energy and reduces consumption to increase output, with PUE reduced to approximately 0.1.

[0091] 7. Product reuse: Traditionally, each system needs to be purchased separately from different manufacturers, processed on site and installed independently; most of the equipment and materials in the above schemes cannot be reused in case of relocation or scheme update; this embodiment is automatically generated by on-site assembly of parts produced in the factory, and the parts can be disassembled and reused in case of relocation or scheme update.

[0092] 8. High integration: The data center IT room is designed as a device that integrates all systems (except fire protection and walls).

[0093] 9. One-stop design, procurement and installation: hot and cold channels, bridges, intelligent distribution cabinets, precision air conditioners, ODF cabinets, auxiliary network cabinets, lighting, intelligent systems and other systems are integrated on one device, with unified design, unified factory production and unified installation.

[0094] 10. Simple structure: Many components and equipment are manufactured in the factory and then transported to the site for simple assembly and installation. This flexible assembly construction method makes the structure of the data center simpler, more efficient and more reliable.

[0095] 11. Multi-system integration: cabinet system integration, hot and cold channel integration, power distribution system integration, overhead air conditioning integration, intelligent control system integration, and lighting system integration.

[0096] 12. Quality and consistency: Prefabricated structures can improve the quality and consistency of construction. Precise manufacturing and commissioning in the factory can ensure the quality and performance of each component.

[0097] 13. Reduce carbon emissions: De-engineering of data centers will significantly reduce carbon emissions during the construction process and truly achieve near-zero carbon emissions.

[0098] 14. Reduce costs: Save 13.6%, data center IT room saves 13.6% of the cost.

[0099] 15. Standardization of parts, assemblies, components, and DC modules: fixed technical requirements, small granularity of accessories, and assembly in sequence.

[0100] 16. Realize flexible staging / fast transformation and adjustment / white space delivery functions: The processes are independent of each other, can be built in an orderly manner, and can be quickly transformed and adjusted to meet the needs of ever-changing business, thereby improving the flexibility, adjustability and delivery efficiency of the data center.

[0101] 17. Highly complex component functions: There are no separate bridges, hot and cold channels, etc. The functions are automatically generated after the functional parts are built, and the component functions support each other and can be reused.

[0102] 18. Adapt to changes in demand, rapid development, rapid production, and low-cost manufacturing: Flexible assembly can adapt to rapid development, low production cost manufacturing requirements, flexible assembly, and reconfigurable advanced assembly methods.

[0103] 19. Automation, digitization, and integration: Automation, digitization, and integration of data center construction are important trends in the current development of the data center industry, which can improve the efficiency, reliability, and flexibility of data centers.

[0104] 20. Flexible system adaptability and matching: Integrate HVAC system, power distribution system, and cabinet system to achieve rapid deployment and flexible expansion.

[0105] 21. Shorten the construction period: Save 40%. The traditional large data center construction period of more than 15-18 months is shortened to about 8-10 months.

[0106] 22. Elastic expansion: It has the advantages of on-demand deployment and elastic expansion, which improves the flexibility of the data center and better copes with business development and increased applications.
