Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of submarine data center technology, specifically to a submarine data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles. Background Technology

[0002] As a green digital infrastructure, seabed data centers utilize seawater as a natural cooling medium, reducing cooling energy consumption by over 90% compared to land-based data centers; they also eliminate the need for freshwater cooling, reducing freshwater consumption. Located near coastal economic zones, seabed data centers can reduce data transmission latency, improve the response speed of applications such as cloud computing and AI, and enhance data storage and computing efficiency; they also free up land resources. Existing data has verified that servers operating in a sealed, inert gas environment on the seabed are eight times more reliable than those in land-based data centers. Therefore, the energy-efficient, resource-saving, safe, and stable advantages of seabed data centers are of positive significance for the sustainable development of the data industry, marine economic innovation, and the layout of the digital economy, representing an important direction for the future development of data centers.

[0003] Existing technologies for the maintenance of subsea data centers typically involve divers diving underwater to hook up the data modules and then using a crane vessel to lift the entire data module out of the water. Furthermore, current subsea data center installations usually involve lifting one or two data modules into the water as a whole, which hinders the large-scale development of subsea data centers. This invention proposes a subsea data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles, avoiding the high costs of personnel diving and large crane vessels for subsea data center maintenance, while simultaneously promoting the large-scale construction of subsea data centers. Based on the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention designs a subsea data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles. Summary of the Invention

The hoop is fitted onto the outside of the large-diameter steel pipe pile, and rigid connecting rods are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the hoop. Ocean energy generation equipment is fixedly installed at the ends of two of the rigid connecting rods. The rotating structure includes a foundation base, a first support plate, and a second support plate.

The first and second support plates are fixed to the inner wall of the large-diameter steel pipe pile. A rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the top of the base. A composite submarine cable is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of the base. A current collector ring is rotatably mounted on the top of the rotating shaft, and an external submarine cable is fixedly mounted on the top of the current collector ring. A waterproof cover is fixedly mounted on the top of the first support plate. A spline gear is rotatably mounted on the bottom of the second support plate. Four vertical grooves are opened on the outer surface of the spline gear. A first drive motor is fixedly mounted inside the waterproof cover. One end of the output shaft of the first drive motor passes through the waterproof cover and a rotating disk is fixedly mounted on the end. An extension rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of the rotating disk, and a lever is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the extension rod.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five lifting structures include mounting plates, the five mounting plates are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft, and a first winding reel is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of the five mounting plates.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second winding reel is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of the five mounting plates, and steel cables are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the five mounting plates and the five second winding reels.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a support rod is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the five mounting plates, a fixing ring is fixedly installed at one end of the support rod, a second drive motor is fixedly installed inside the fixing ring, and one end of the output shaft of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to the first winding reel.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five mounting plates are provided with two sets of locking holes inside, and four fixing grooves are provided inside the five mounting plates. Side rods are fixedly installed on the side walls of the four fixing grooves. A pulley is rotatably installed between two of the side rods. The pulley is in contact with the steel cable. A track is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the five mounting plates.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five data bay structures include fastening rings, and locking sleeves are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the five fastening rings, and the five locking sleeves are respectively fixedly connected to one side of the five steel cables.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a data compartment is fixedly installed inside the five fastening rings, a lifting ring is fixedly installed on the top of the five data compartments, and two rolling steel balls are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the five data compartments.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, two locking structures are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the five data cabins, and the two locking structures include sliders.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the two sliders, and a drive cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the two fixing plates.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, one end of the telescopic rod of the two drive cylinders is fixedly equipped with a plug rod, and the end dimensions of the two plug rods are the same as the dimensions of the locking hole.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This subsea data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles utilizes a rotating structure. During routine maintenance and repair of the data compartment inside the large-diameter steel pipe piles, staff can log in via a work platform. At this time, the output shaft of the first drive motor drives the rotating disk to rotate. When the rotating disk rotates against the concave surface of the spline gear, the extension rod drives the lever to pass through the vertical slot, which in turn drives the spline gear to rotate the rotating shaft. This allows the data compartment requiring maintenance to be rotated to a position close to the work platform, facilitating staff access for maintenance. Compared with traditional data compartment maintenance methods, this avoids diving operations and eliminates the need for large crane vessels, significantly reducing maintenance costs and risks, improving operational safety, and overcoming the problems of high maintenance difficulty and cost in existing technologies. 2. This type of submarine data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles utilizes a lifting structure. When maintenance and repair of the data cabin are required, the second drive motor of the corresponding data cabin is activated, causing its output shaft to drive the first winding reel to rotate. Since the first winding reel is connected by a steel cable, the steel cable can circulate on the outer surfaces of the first and second winding reels. This allows the fastening ring to move the data cabin up and down with the steel cable, thereby lifting the top of the data cabin to the same height as the working platform. This facilitates personnel access to the data cabin for maintenance and repair, achieving rapid maintenance and avoiding the high construction risks and difficulties associated with conventional submarine data center maintenance. 3. This type of submarine data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles uses a locking structure. After the data cabin is lifted by the lifting structure, the extension rod of the data cabin moves forward through the drive of two drive cylinders. After passing through the slider, the extension rod passes through the corresponding locking hole, thereby fixing the data cabin. This can prevent the steel cable from breaking and causing danger during operation. 4. This type of submarine data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles allows rolling steel balls to contact the large-diameter steel pipe piles when the data cabin is driven to rotate. As the data cabin rotates, the rolling steel balls can follow it, providing horizontal support for the data cabin and ensuring the stability of the structure. Moreover, the setting of the rolling steel balls does not affect the lifting of the data cabin. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Please see Figure 1-5 A subsea data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles includes a hoop 1, a rotating structure 2, five lifting structures 3, and five data bay structures 6, all installed on the large-diameter steel pipe piles. The hoop 1 is fitted onto the outside of the large-diameter steel pipe pile, and rigid connecting rods 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer surface of the hoop 1. Ocean energy generation equipment 5 is fixedly installed at the ends of the two rigid connecting rods 4. The rotating structure 2 includes a foundation base 21, a first support plate 22, and a second support plate 23. The foundation base 21 is located at the bottom of the inner cavity of the large-diameter steel pipe pile. The first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23 are fixed to the inner wall of the large-diameter steel pipe pile. A rotating shaft 24 is rotatably installed on the top of the second support plate 23. A composite submarine cable 25 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the base 21. A collector ring is rotatably installed on the top of the rotating shaft 24, and an external submarine cable 26 is fixedly installed on the top of the collector ring. A waterproof cover 27 is fixedly installed on the top of the first support plate 22. A spline gear 28 is rotatably installed on the bottom of the second support plate 23. Four vertical grooves 29 are opened on the outer surface of the spline gear 28. A first drive motor 210 is fixedly installed inside the waterproof cover 27. One end of the output shaft of the first drive motor 210 passes through the waterproof cover 27 and a rotating disk 211 is fixedly installed at the end. An extension rod 212 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the rotating disk 211, and a lever 213 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the extension rod 212.

[0020] Please see Figure 9-11 The five lifting structures 3 include mounting plates 31, which are fixedly connected to a rotating shaft 24. A first take-up reel 32 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 31. A second take-up reel 33 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 31. Steel cables 34 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the five mounting plates 31 and the five second take-up reels 33. A support rod 310 is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 31. A fixing ring 311 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support rod 310. A second drive motor 312 is fixedly mounted inside the fixing ring 311. One end of the output shaft of the second drive motor 312 is fixedly connected to the first take-up reel 32. The interior of each of the five mounting plates 31 has two sets of locking holes 39 and four fixing slots 35. Side rods 36 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the four fixing slots 35. A pulley 37 is rotatably installed between two side rods 36. The pulley 37 is in contact with the steel cable 34. A track 38 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 31.

[0021] When maintenance and repair of the data cabin 62 are required, the second drive motor 312 corresponding to the data cabin 62 is started, and its output shaft drives the first take-up reel 32 to rotate. Since the first take-up reel 32 is connected by a steel cable 34, the steel cable 34 can rotate cyclically on the outer surface of the first take-up reel 32 and the second take-up reel 33. This allows the fastening ring 61 to drive the data cabin 62 to move up and down with the steel cable 34, thereby lifting the top of the data cabin 62 to the same height as the work platform, making it convenient for personnel to enter the data cabin 62 for maintenance and repair.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-11 The five data compartment structures 6 each include a fastening ring 61. A locking sleeve 65 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of each of the five fastening rings 61, and each locking sleeve 65 is fixedly connected to one side of each of the five steel cables 34. Data compartment bodies 62 are fixedly installed inside the five fastening rings 61. Lifting rings 63 are fixedly installed on the top of each of the five data compartment bodies 62, and two rolling steel balls 64 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each of the five data compartment bodies 62. Two locking structures 7 are fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of each of the five data compartment bodies 62, and each locking structure 7 includes a slider 71. A fixing plate 72 is fixedly installed inside each of the two sliders 71, and a drive cylinder 73 is fixedly installed on the top of each fixing plate 72. Insert rods 74 are fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rods of each of the two drive cylinders 73, and the end dimensions of the two insert rods 74 are the same as the dimensions of the locking holes 39.

[0023] After the data cabin 62 is lifted by the lifting structure 3, the extension rod of the two drive cylinders 73 drives the insertion rod 74 forward. After passing through the slider 71, the insertion rod 74 passes through the corresponding locking hole 39, thereby fixing the data cabin 62. This prevents the steel cable 34 from breaking during operation and causing danger. When the rolling steel ball 64 is driven to rotate, it contacts the large-diameter steel pipe column. As the data cabin rotates, the rolling steel ball 64 rotates with it, providing horizontal support for the data cabin 62 and ensuring the stability of the structure. The setting of the rolling steel ball 64 does not affect the lifting of the data cabin 62.

[0024] Working principle: When a submarine data center structure based on large-diameter steel pipe piles is used, during routine maintenance and repair of the data compartment 62 inside the large-diameter steel pipe piles, staff log in through the work platform. At this time, the first drive motor 210 drives its output shaft to rotate the rotating disk 211. When the rotating disk 211 rotates against the concave surface of the spline gear 28, the extension rod 212 drives the lever 213 to pass into the vertical slot 29, which in turn moves the spline gear 28 to rotate the rotating shaft 24. This rotates the 62 to be repaired closer to the work platform. Then, by starting the second drive motor 312 corresponding to the data compartment 62, its output shaft drives the first winding reel 32 to rotate. Since the first winding reel 32 is connected by a steel cable 34, the steel cable 34 can circulate on the outer surfaces of the first winding reel 32 and the second winding reel 33. This allows the fastening ring 61 to move the data cabin 62 up and down along with the steel cable 34, thereby lifting the top of the data cabin 62 to the same height as the work platform, facilitating personnel access for maintenance and repair. Simultaneously, as the rolling steel ball 64 is driven to rotate, it contacts the large-diameter steel pipe column, providing horizontal support and ensuring structural stability. The rolling steel ball 64 does not affect the lifting of the data cabin 62. Finally, after the data cabin 62 is lifted by the lifting structure 3, the two drive cylinders 73 drive the telescopic rod to move the insertion rod 74 forward. After passing through the slider 71, the rod passes through the corresponding locking hole 39, thus securing the data cabin 62 and preventing the steel cable 34 from breaking during operation.
