Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of submarine data center technology, specifically to a lifting mechanism for a submarine data center. Background Technology

[0002] Submarine data centers (UDCs) are traditional data centers moved from land to the seabed, utilizing the cooling effect of seawater to dissipate heat from data center servers. They have advantages such as low resource consumption on land, large-scale deployment, and rapid online operation through modular production.

[0003] Existing technologies for the maintenance of subsea data centers typically involve divers diving underwater to hook the data module and then using a crane vessel to lift the entire data module out of the water. However, underwater operations in deep waters are risky and difficult, limiting the development of subsea data centers under these conditions. To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention designs a lifting mechanism for subsea data centers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a lifting mechanism for a subsea data center, which has the advantages of facilitating rapid maintenance of the subsea data center and avoiding the high construction risks and difficulties of conventional subsea data center maintenance, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This invention provides the following technical solution: a lifting mechanism for an underwater data center, comprising five lifting structures mounted on a rotating shaft inside a large-diameter steel pipe pile. A data cabin is placed on one side of each of the five lifting structures. Each of the five lifting structures includes a mounting plate. A first winding reel is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates, and a second winding reel is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates. Steel cables are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the five first winding reels and the five second winding reels. A support rod is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates. A fixing ring is fixedly mounted on one end of the support rod, and a drive motor is fixedly mounted inside the fixing ring. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor is fixedly connected to the first winding reel.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the interior of the five mounting plates is provided with two sets of locking holes, and the outer surface of the five data cabins is fixedly installed with two locking structures.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two locking structures include sliders, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed inside the two sliders.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a drive cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the two fixed plates, and an insertion rod is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod of the two drive cylinders.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a track is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of the five mounting plates, and a lifting ring is fixedly installed on the top of the five data cabins.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five tracks are slidably connected to the two sliders.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the interior of the five mounting plates is provided with four fixing slots, and side rods are fixedly installed on the side walls of the four fixing slots.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a pulley is rotatably mounted between the two side rods, and the pulley is in contact with the steel cable.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, fastening rings are fixedly installed on the outer surfaces of the five data cabins, and locking sleeves are fixedly installed on one side of the five fastening rings.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the five locking sleeves are fixedly connected to one side of the steel cable, and the five locking sleeves are connected to the steel cable by bolts.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. The lifting mechanism of this subsea data center, through the lifting structure, when maintenance and repair of the data cabin are required, starts the drive motor of the corresponding data cabin, 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 rotate cyclically on the outer surface 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, facilitating personnel to enter the data cabin for maintenance and repair. This achieves the purpose of quick maintenance and avoids the high construction risks and difficulties of conventional subsea data center maintenance.

[0017] 2. The lifting mechanism of this submarine data center, through a locking structure, after the data cabin is lifted by the lifting structure, is driven by two drive cylinders to move the telescopic rod forward, which then passes through the corresponding locking hole after passing through the slider, thereby fixing the data cabin. This can prevent the steel cable from breaking and causing danger during operation. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-8 A lifting mechanism for an underwater data center includes five lifting structures 1 mounted on a rotating shaft inside a large-diameter steel pipe pile. A data cabin 2 is placed on one side of each of the five lifting structures 1. Each of the five lifting structures 1 includes a mounting plate 101. A first winding reel 102 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 101, and a second winding reel 103 is rotatably mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 101. Steel cables 104 are sleeved on the outer surfaces of the five first winding reels 102 and the five second winding reels 103. A support rod 105 is fixedly mounted on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 101. A fixing ring 106 is fixedly mounted on one end of the support rod 105. A drive motor 107 is fixedly mounted inside the fixing ring 106. One end of the output shaft of the drive motor 107 is fixedly connected to the first winding reel 102.

[0029] Please see Figure 4-8 Each of the five mounting plates 101 has two sets of locking holes 109 inside. Two locking structures 5 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each of the five data compartments 2. Each locking structure 5 includes a slider 51, and a fixing plate 52 is fixedly installed inside each slider 51. A drive cylinder 53 is fixedly installed on the top of each fixing plate 52, and a plug rod 54 is fixedly installed at one end of the telescopic rod of each drive cylinder 53. A rail 112 is fixedly installed on one side of the outer surface of each of the five mounting plates 101, and a lifting ring 6 is fixedly installed on the top of each of the five data compartments 2. The five rails 112 are slidably connected to the two sliders 51.

[0030] After the data cabin 2 is lifted by the lifting structure 1, the extension rod of the extension rod 54 moves forward through the drive of the two drive cylinders 53. After passing through the slider 51, it passes through the corresponding locking hole 109, thereby fixing the data cabin 2. This can prevent the steel cable 104 from breaking and causing danger during operation.

[0031] Please see Figure 6-8 Each of the five mounting plates 101 has four fixing slots 108 inside, and side rods 110 are fixedly installed on the side walls of the four fixing slots 108. A pulley 111 is rotatably installed between two side rods 110, and the pulley 111 contacts the steel cable 104. Fastening rings 3 are fixedly installed on the outer surface of each of the five data compartments 2, and locking sleeves 4 are fixedly installed on one side of each of the five fastening rings 3. The five locking sleeves 4 are fixedly connected to one side of the steel cable 104 by bolts.

[0032] The smoothness of movement of the data cabin 2 can be improved by using four pulleys 111, and the smoothness of sliding block 51 can be improved by setting up the track 112.

[0033] Working principle: When the lifting mechanism of a submarine data center is used, firstly, five locking sleeves 4 are fixed to one side of the steel cable 104 with bolts. Then, the data cabin 2 is installed inside the fastening ring 3. When maintenance and repair of the data cabin 2 are required, the drive motor 107 corresponding to the data cabin 2 is started, causing its output shaft to drive the first winding reel 102 to rotate. Since the first winding reel 102 is connected by the steel cable 104, the steel cable 104 can circulate on the outer surface of the first winding reel 102 and the second winding reel 103. The rotation allows the fastening ring 3 to move the data cabin 2 up and down along with the steel cable 104, thereby lifting the top of the data cabin to the same height as the work platform, facilitating personnel to enter the data cabin 2 for maintenance and repair. After the data cabin 2 is lifted by the lifting structure 1, the extension rod of the two drive cylinders 53 drives the insertion rod 54 forward, which passes through the slider 51 and then through the corresponding locking hole 109, thereby fixing the data cabin 2. This prevents the steel cable 104 from breaking during operation and causing danger.
