One side of the outer surface of the rotating disc 211 is fixedly provided with an extension rod 212. The outer surface of the extension rod 212 is fixedly provided with a lever 213.
[0034] Please refer toFigures 9-11 The five jacking structures 3 include installation vertical plates 31, the five installation vertical plates 31 are fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 24, and the outer surface one side of the five installation vertical plates 31 is rotatably installed with first winding discs 32. The outer surface one side of the five installation vertical plates 31 is rotatably installed with second winding discs 33, and the outer surfaces of the five installation vertical plates 31 and the five second winding discs 33 are sleeved with steel cables 34. The outer surface one side of the five installation vertical plates 31 is fixedly installed with support rods 310, one end of the support rod 310 is fixedly installed with a fixed ring 311, the inside of the fixed ring 311 is fixedly installed with a second drive motor 312, and the output shaft one end of the second drive motor 312 is fixedly connected with the first winding disc 32. The inside of the five installation vertical plates 31 is provided with two groups of locking holes 39, the inside of the five installation vertical plates 31 is provided with four fixed grooves 35, the side walls of the four fixed grooves 35 are fixedly installed with side rods 36, a pulley 37 is rotatably installed between the two side rods 36, the pulley 37 is in contact with the steel cable 34, and the outer surface one side of the five installation vertical plates 31 is fixedly installed with a track 38.
[0035] When the data cabin 62 needs to be maintained and repaired, the second drive motor 312 corresponding to the data cabin 62 is started to drive the first winding disc 32 to rotate, and since the first winding disc 32 is connected through the steel cable 34, the steel cable 34 can be circularly rotated on the outer surfaces of the first winding disc 32 and the second winding disc 33, so that the fastening ring 61 drives the data cabin 62 to move up and down along the steel cable 34, and the top of the data cabin 62 is jacked to the same height as the working platform, so that personnel can enter the data cabin 62 for maintenance and repair.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-11 The five data warehouse structures 6 include fastening rings 61, the outer surface one side of the five fastening rings 61 is fixedly installed with locking sleeves 65, and the five locking sleeves 65 are fixedly connected with one side of the five steel cables 34 respectively. The inside of the five fastening rings 61 is fixedly installed with data cabins 62, the top of the five data cabins 62 is fixedly installed with lifting rings 63, and the outer surface of the five data cabins 62 is fixedly installed with two rolling steel balls 64. The outer surface one side of the five data cabins 62 is fixedly installed with two locking structures 7, and the two locking structures 7 include sliding blocks 71. The inside of the two sliding blocks 71 is fixedly installed with fixed plates 72, and the top of the two fixed plates 72 is fixedly installed with drive cylinders 73. The one end of the telescopic rod of the two drive cylinders 73 is fixedly installed with a plug rod 74, and the end part of the two plug rods 74 is the same size as the locking hole 39.
[0037] After the data cabin 62 is jacked up by the jacking structure 3, the extension rod drives the insertion rod 74 to move forward, and after passing through the sliding block 71, it passes through the corresponding locking hole 39, thereby fixing the data cabin 62, which can prevent the steel cable 34 from breaking during work. When the rolling steel ball 64 is driven to rotate, the rolling steel ball 64 can rotate with the large-diameter steel pipe column, providing horizontal support for the data cabin 62 and ensuring the stability of the structure. The arrangement of the rolling steel ball 64 does not affect the lifting of the data cabin 62.
[0038] When a large-diameter steel pipe pile-based submarine data center structure is used, first, when the data cabin 62 inside the large-diameter steel pipe pile is maintained and repaired, the worker logs in through the working platform. At this time, the first drive motor 210 is driven, which can drive the output shaft to rotate the rotating disc 211. When the rotating disc 211 is attached to the concave surface of the gear 28, the extension rod 212 drives the lever 213 to enter the vertical slot 29, and the gear 28 drives the rotating shaft 24 to rotate. Thus, the 62 to be repaired in the rotating shaft can be rotated to the working platform. Then, the second drive motor 312 of the corresponding data cabin 62 is started, which drives the output shaft to rotate the first winding disc 32. Since the first winding disc 32 is connected by the steel cable 34, the steel cable 34 can be rotated on the outer surface of the first winding disc 32 and the second winding disc 33. Thus, the fastening ring 61 drives the data cabin 62 to move up and down with the steel cable 34, so that the top of the data cabin 62 is jacked up to the same height as the working platform, facilitating personnel to enter the data cabin 62 for maintenance and repair. At the same time, when the rolling steel ball 64 is driven to rotate, the rolling steel ball 64 can rotate with the large-diameter steel pipe column, providing horizontal support for the data cabin 62 and ensuring the stability of the structure. The arrangement of the rolling steel ball 64 does not affect the lifting of the data cabin 62. Finally, after the data cabin 62 is jacked up by the jacking structure 3, the extension rod drives the insertion rod 74 to move forward, and after passing through the sliding block 71, it passes through the corresponding locking hole 39, thereby fixing the data cabin 62, which can prevent the steel cable 34 from breaking during work.
