Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of U-position positioning and prompting in data centers, and specifically relates to a U-position positioning and prompting structure for data centers. Background Art

[0002] U-position positioning in data centers is an indispensable technology in modern data center management. By accurately and real-time positioning and monitoring the positions of devices in cabinets, it greatly improves the operation and maintenance efficiency and resource utilization rate of data centers.

[0003] In the actual working process, first, a positioning strip is installed inside the cabinet, and then a device with a magnetic tag is placed on the corresponding U-position. The tag is magnetically attracted to the positioning strip, and then the sensor in the positioning strip tag continuously monitors its position status. Once the tag position change is detected, the intelligent gateway sends the acquired data to the background management system, and then the maintenance personnel can process it in time.

[0004] However, when in use, the problem data is directly transmitted to the background management terminal computer. Then, after the maintenance personnel see the alarm data, they go to the corresponding cabinet in the data center and then search for the problem device in the cabinet. Since the U-position positioning structure is inside the cabinet, during this process, the maintenance personnel are prone to forget the specific fault position, which increases the search time and thus reduces the efficiency. Especially when there are a large number of cabinets in the data center computer room, it will further increase the search difficulty. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0041] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 , a U-position positioning prompt structure for a data center, includes a housing 10, where the housing 10 refers to the cabinet housing of the data center, and is internally provided with an existing U-position controller and a plurality of devices 11. The device 11 refers to the cabinet devices installed in the data center cabinet. The U-position controller is a control data processing device for existing U-position positioning installed in the cabinet;

[0043] On the inner wall of the housing 10, a positioning strip 20 electrically connected to the U-position controller is fixed. The device 11 and the positioning strip 20 are connected by a label 30. The positioning strip 20 and the label 30 can refer to the existing U-position positioning structure. At the same time, a fixed housing 40 located above the positioning strip 20 is fixed on the inner wall of the housing 10. A warning light 50 extending to the top of the housing 10 is provided at the top of the fixed housing 40. The warning light 50 is electrically connected to the U-position controller. During use, the positioning strip 20, the U-position controller, and the label 30 work normally in the existing manner. When a working alarm occurs, the corresponding position of the positioning strip 20 will light up normally for prompting. At the same time, the warning light 50 of the present application will give a prompt synchronously. Since the prompt is outside, after the maintenance personnel enter the data center computer room, they can find the problematic cabinet in time through the reminder of the warning light 50, so as to facilitate timely handling. The operation is simple and the efficiency is higher.

[0044] During use, the warning light 50 can be turned on by using the existing method to control the positioning strip 20 to light up.

[0045] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and 2 , the positioning strip 20 is bonded to the inside of the housing 10 through a plurality of rubber strips 21 for easy installation.

[0046] A data connection socket 22 is provided at the top of the positioning strip 20. The positioning strip 20 is electrically connected to the U-position controller through the data connection socket 22 and a data cable. The connection method can be the existing one.

[0047] The label 30 includes a connecting plate 31 bonded to the device 11. One end of a connecting wire 32 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31. The other end of the connecting wire 32 is connected to a label magnet 33. The label magnet 33 is magnetically attracted to the positioning strip 20. The connection can be made in the existing manner.

[0048] In a further embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 , 2 and 3, the fixed housing 40 further includes a fixing plate 41 fixed to the bottom of the fixed housing 40 and a screw 42 passing through the fixing plate 41 and threadedly connected to the housing 10. A connection socket 43 is fixed to the bottom of the fixed housing 40. The warning light 50 is electrically connected to the U-position controller through the connection socket 43 and a data cable. A plug-in hole is opened at the bottom of the inner wall of the housing 10. A plug-in sleeve 44 is fixed to the top of the fixed housing 40. The plug-in hole is adapted to the plug-in sleeve 44. When connecting, the fixed housing 40 is attached to the housing 10, and then lifted up so that the warning light 50 and the plug-in sleeve 44 both pass through the plug-in hole, and then fixed by the screw 42 to complete the installation. Conversely, it can be disassembled. The operation is simple and it is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0049] Both the connection socket 43 and the data connection socket 22 are preferably USB connection sockets.

[0050] Further, the warning light 50 includes a movable rod 51 slidably disposed inside the fixed housing 40. The movable rod 51 passes through the insertion sleeve 44. A connecting sleeve 53 is threadedly connected to the top of the movable rod 51. The connecting sleeve 53 has external threads and is hollow inside. A protective cover 54 is fixed to the top of the connecting sleeve 53. A lamp 55 is provided at the top end of the movable rod 51. The lamp 55 is located inside the connecting sleeve 53. The lamp 55 is an existing LED lamp, preferably red. A spring wire 52 is disposed inside the movable rod 51. One end of the spring wire 52 is electrically connected to the lamp 55, and the other end is electrically connected to the connecting socket 43. At the same time, both the connecting sleeve 53 and the protective cover 54 are transparent to facilitate the light to pass through. The protective cover 54 is arc-shaped to increase the diffusion range. A motor 46 is fixed inside the fixed housing 40. The motor 46 is electrically connected to the connecting socket 43. A threaded rod 47 is vertically fixed to the output shaft of the motor 46. A slider 45 is fixed to the bottom end of the movable rod 51. The slider 45 can only slide up and down inside the fixed housing 40 and is threadedly sleeved outside the threaded rod 47. The motor 46 is preferably a stepper motor and is controlled in an existing manner;

[0051] When in use, starting the motor 46 synchronously can drive the threaded rod 47 to rotate, thereby driving the slider 45 to lift and lower. It lifts when alarming and lowers after the alarm is over. When lifting and lowering, it will drive the movable rod 51 to lift and lower, thereby driving the lamp 55 to lift and lower. When alarming, the lamp 55 will light up and rise at the same time, so as to be easily seen by the maintenance personnel. Usually, it will move down closer to the outer shell 10 and will not affect the normal use of the cabinet.
