Description

Technical Field

As Figure 1 shown, in an existing server cabinet, a power supply unit is arranged at the top and / or bottom of the server cabinet, and a vertical busbar 100 is used to supply power to load devices located in the middle part.

[0003] In practical applications, connectors are required to connect the power supply unit and load devices in the server cabinet to the busbar 100, and the connectors themselves occupy a certain volume. Moreover, a gap needs to be reserved during the assembly of the busbar 100, and a large number of network cables also need to be connected to the load devices, which will also occupy a lot of space.

[0068] Some exemplary embodiments embodying the features and advantages of the present disclosure will be described in detail in the following description. It should be understood that the present disclosure can have various variations in different embodiments, all of which do not depart from the scope of the present disclosure, and the descriptions and illustrations therein are essentially for illustrative purposes and not for limiting the present disclosure.

[0069] Figure 2A Schematic diagram of the architecture of a computing system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As Figure 2A shown, the computing system 1 includes a load module 2, a power supply module 3, and a plurality of first horizontal buses 41. Figure 2A Taking an example of including one load module 2 and two power supply modules 3 for illustration, it should be understood that the numbers of the load module 2 and the power supply module 3 are not limited, and both numbers can be one or more. For example, Figure 2B an embodiment including two load modules 2 and one power supply module 3 is illustrated. Figure 2B The structures and functions of the load module 2 and the power supply module 3 in Figure 2A are the same as those in Figure 2A Therefore, the following takes

[0070] Please refer to Figure 2A again. The load module 2 includes a plurality of load units 20 arranged in the vertical direction, and each load unit 20 includes a plurality of load subunits 21 stacked in the vertical direction. To simplify the drawings, the load module 2 is shown in the figure as including three load units 20 and each load unit 20 including three load subunits 21 as an example, but in fact, the numbers of the load units 20 and the load subunits 21 are not limited. The load subunit 21 can be any element that consumes electrical energy, such as but not limited to servers, computing devices, storage devices, and network devices, etc.

[0071] The power supply module 3 is configured to supply power to the load module 2 and includes a plurality of power supply units 30 arranged vertically. Each power supply unit 30 includes a plurality of power supply sub-units 31. In this embodiment, taking the example that the plurality of power supply sub-units 31 are stacked horizontally, it can simplify the first horizontal busbar 41 used to connect the power supply unit 30 and the load unit 20. It should be understood that the plurality of power supply sub-units 31 included in each power supply unit 30 can also be stacked vertically, where the vertical direction is perpendicular to the aforementioned horizontal direction. The plurality of power supply units 30 are electrically connected to each other through at least one power distribution wire 51 (i.e., PDB, power distribution busbar), so that electric energy can be distributed among the plurality of power supply units 30 through the power distribution wire 51, improving the flexibility and reliability of the overall system. Two power supply modules 3 are illustrated in the figure, but in fact, the number of power supply modules 3 included in the computing system 1 is not limited and can be adjusted arbitrarily according to actual needs. Furthermore, to simplify the drawings, in the figure, the power supply module 3 is shown as including three power supply units 30 and each power supply unit 30 includes three power supply sub-units 31 as an example, but in fact, the number of power supply units 30 and power supply sub-units 31 are not limited. In addition, the number of power supply units 30 and power supply sub-units 31 can exceed the required number to provide redundant electric energy. In some embodiments, in each power supply unit 30, at least one power supply sub-unit 31 is in a standby state, and the remaining power supply sub-units 31 are used to provide the energy required by the corresponding load unit 20. For example, in each power supply unit 30, there can be N power supply sub-units 31 actually providing energy for the corresponding load unit 20, and M power supply sub-units 31 are in a standby state, which means that the power supply unit 30 has a redundant configuration of N + M. Furthermore, the actual form of the power supply sub-unit 31 is not limited either. In some embodiments, in each power supply unit 30, at least one power supply sub-unit 31 is a power conversion unit including an energy storage unit, and its output power is the same as that of other power supply sub-units 31. In other embodiments, the power supply sub-unit 31 can adopt a power conversion unit with an automatic transfer switch (ATS) for dual input power supplies to improve reliability. In still other embodiments, the power supply sub-unit 31 can also simply adopt a power conversion unit connected to a single power supply.

[0072] The first horizontal busbar 41 extends horizontally, and adjacent load units 20 and power supply units 30 are arranged horizontally and are electrically connected to each other through the corresponding first horizontal busbar 41. Figure 2AIn the illustrated embodiment, under normal operation, the load unit 20 is powered by two adjacent power supply units 30 via the first horizontal bus 41. This design can reduce the demand for the current capacity of the first horizontal bus 41. When any power supply unit 30 fails, the load unit 20 adjacent to the failed power supply unit 30 can receive electrical energy from other power supply units 30 via the corresponding first horizontal bus 41 and the distribution line 51. Thereby, the reliability of the computing system 1 can be improved. In addition, in this embodiment, the corresponding power supply units 30 located at the same vertical height in different power supply modules 3 are respectively electrically connected to the corresponding load unit 20 through a first horizontal bus 41. Of course, in order to reduce the bus current density and thereby increase the power provided by each power supply unit 30, each power supply unit 30 can adopt multiple first horizontal busbars 41 to be connected to a corresponding load unit 20, such as Figure 2C , taking the example that each power supply unit 30 adopts two first horizontal busbars 41 to connect to a corresponding load unit 20. In addition, each first horizontal busbar 41 is actually formed by two parallel busbars, one of which is used to transmit positive voltage, and the other is used to transmit negative voltage, and the two busbars are structurally isolated from each other but work together electrically. It should be understood that the first horizontal busbar 41 can be a busbar (for example, a copper busbar, an aluminum busbar, etc.), or a cable, etc., as long as electrical transmission can be achieved. Similarly, each distribution line 51 is actually formed by two parallel distribution lines, one of which is used to transmit positive voltage, and the other is used to transmit negative voltage, and the two distribution lines are structurally isolated from each other but work together electrically. The busbars and distribution lines mentioned later in this disclosure are all the same and will not be repeated.

[0073] As can be seen from the foregoing, the present disclosure provides a power supply module 3 independently from the load module 2 and uses multiple first horizontal busbars 41 for power supply, thereby reducing current density and increasing the total power limit of the computing system 1.

[0074] Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 exemplify Figure 2C Various variations of the computing system 1 shown, wherein Figure 2C Elements with similar structures and functions are denoted by the same reference numerals and will not be described again herein.

[0075] In the case where the computing system 1 includes multiple power supply modules 3, the electrical connection between the power supply units 30 in different power supply modules 3 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 2CAs shown, when two power supply modules 3 are located on both sides of the load module 2, the power supply units 30 at the same vertical height in different power supply modules 3 can be electrically connected to each other through the corresponding first horizontal busbars 41 and the lines in the load unit 20. In some other embodiments, as Figure 3 shown, the computing system 1 further includes a distribution wire 52. When two power supply modules 3 are located on both sides of the load module 2, the two first horizontal busbars 41 at the same vertical height are electrically connected to each other through the corresponding distribution wire 52, so that the power supply units 30 at the same vertical height can be electrically connected to each other through the corresponding first horizontal busbars 41 and the distribution wire 52, where the distribution wire 52 extends in the horizontal direction. Compared with Figure 2C , when any one of the power supply units 30 fails, the load unit 20 adjacent to the failed power supply unit 30 can receive electric energy from other power supply units 30 on both sides via the corresponding first horizontal busbar 41 and the distribution wire 51 and / or the distribution wire 52, improving the redundancy of the system. In addition, when any two power supply modules 3 are arranged adjacent to each other, in the two adjacent power supply modules 3, the power supply units 30 at the same vertical height can be electrically connected to each other through the distribution wire 52. In some other embodiments, as Figure 4 shown, the power supply units 30 at the same vertical height in different power supply modules 3 share the same first horizontal busbar 41a to be electrically connected to the corresponding load unit 20.

[0076] When the power supply module 3 includes multiple power supply units 30, the electrical connection manner between the multiple power supply units 30 in the same power supply module 3 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, as Figure 2A , Figure 2C , Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, any two adjacent power supply units 30 in the same power supply module 3 are electrically connected to each other through a distribution wire 51. In some other embodiments, as Figure 5 shown, the multiple power supply units 30 in the same power supply module 3 are all electrically connected to each other through a distribution wire 51a.

[0077] It should be understood that the connection between the above first horizontal busbar and the power supply unit 30 refers to an electrical connection. When each power supply unit 30 includes multiple power supply sub-units 31, the electrical connection manner between the multiple power supply sub-units 31 in the same power supply unit 3 is not limited, as long as the multiple power supply sub-units 31 in the same power supply unit 3 are finally electrically connected to each other through the corresponding first horizontal busbar 41 or the first horizontal busbar 41a. The connection manner between the power supply sub-unit and the first horizontal busbar is not limited. In some embodiments, the output ends of multiple power supply sub-units can be respectively connected to the first horizontal busbar; in some other embodiments, the output ends of multiple power supply sub-units can be connected together first and then connected to the first horizontal busbar. As Figure 6As shown, the computing system 1 further includes a second horizontal busbar 42. A plurality of power supply sub-units 31 in the same power supply unit 30 are electrically connected to each other through corresponding second horizontal busbars 42. The second horizontal busbar 42 extends in the horizontal direction and is electrically connected to a corresponding first horizontal busbar 41b. The first horizontal busbar 41b is used to electrically connect the load unit 20 to an adjacent power supply unit 30. It should be understood that in order to avoid excessive current concentration at the connection between the first horizontal busbar 41b and the second horizontal busbar 42, the first horizontal busbar 41b can be extended to increase its connection positions with the second horizontal busbar 42.

[0078] In the case where each load unit 20 includes a plurality of load sub-units 21, the electrical connection manner between the plurality of load sub-units 21 in the same load unit 20 is not limited. For example, in some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the computing system 1 further includes a vertical busbar 43. A plurality of load sub-units 21 of any load unit 20 are electrically connected to each other through the vertical busbar 43, where the vertical busbar 43 extends in the vertical direction.

[0079] In addition, in some embodiments, as Figure 6 shown, the computing system 1 further includes an input power supply 71 and a power distribution device 72, where the input power supply 71 is an AC power supply. The power distribution device 72 is electrically connected between the input power supply 71 and the power supply module 3, and the power distribution device 72 is configured to distribute the electric energy provided by the input power supply 71 to all power supply units 30 of the power supply module 3. It should be understood that each power supply sub-unit 31 can receive a single-phase power supply or a three-phase power supply. Of course, the foregoing input power supply 71 and power distribution device 72 are also applicable to Figures 2A to 5 the embodiments shown. Of course, when the input power supply 71 is a DC power supply, there is no need to provide a power distribution device.

[0080] Figure 7 It is a schematic structural diagram of arranging the load module 2 and the power supply module 3 of the computing system of the present disclosure in a rack. To make the drawings concise, Figure 7 the busbars and power distribution lines for electrical connection are not shown in the figure. In actual applications, the busbars and power distribution line architectures of any of the foregoing embodiments can be adopted. In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, the computing system 1 further includes a rack 81. The load module 2 and all power supply modules 3 are arranged on the same rack 81.

[0081] However, the present disclosure is not limited thereto. The load module 2 and the power supply module 3 can also be arranged in different racks. In other embodiments, as Figure 8As shown, the computing system 1 further includes a load rack 82 and a plurality of power supply racks 83. The load modules 2 are arranged in the load rack 82, and the plurality of power supply modules 3 are respectively arranged in the plurality of power supply racks 83. The load rack 82 and all the power supply racks 83 are arranged in a horizontal direction. It should be noted that the number of power supply racks 83 is the same as the number of power supply modules 3. Therefore, if it is assumed that the computing system 1 only includes one power supply module 3, then the computing system 1 also only includes one power supply rack 83. In addition, in this embodiment, the plurality of power supply racks 83 are distributed on both sides of the load rack 82. Preferably, when the number of power supply modules 3 and power supply racks 83 is an even number, they can be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the load rack 82. Among them, the load rack 82 is connected to the adjacent power supply rack 83. In still other embodiments, as Figure 9 shown, the plurality of power supply racks 83 may also be arranged only on one side of the load rack 82. Any two adjacent power supply racks 83 are connected to each other, and the load rack 82 is connected to the adjacent power supply rack 83. By arranging the load modules 2 and the power supply modules 3 in the corresponding racks respectively, the number of power supply modules 3 and the corresponding power supply racks 83 can be expanded according to requirements in practical applications, effectively improving the scalability of the computing system 1.

[0082] Furthermore, since the number of load modules 2 and power supply modules 3 is not limited, in other embodiments, as Figure 10 shown, the computing system 1 includes a plurality of load racks 82 and power supply racks 83. The plurality of load modules 2 are respectively arranged in the plurality of load racks 82, and the power supply module 3 is arranged in the power supply rack 83. All the load racks 82 and power supply racks 83 are arranged in a horizontal direction. The number of load racks 82 is the same as the number of load modules 2. In addition, in this embodiment, the plurality of load racks 82 are distributed on both sides of the power supply rack 83. Preferably, when the number of load modules 2 and load racks 82 is an even number, they can be symmetrically distributed on both sides of the power supply rack 83. Among them, the power supply rack 83 is connected to the adjacent load rack 82. In still other embodiments, as Figure 11 shown, the plurality of load racks 82 may also be arranged only on one side of the power supply rack 83. Any two adjacent load racks 82 are connected to each other, and the power supply rack 83 is connected to the adjacent load rack 82.

[0083] The connection method between the racks is not limited. For example, but not limited to, snap fasteners, bolt connections, and latches, etc. For example, connectors can be reserved on the racks so that adjacent racks can be connected to each other through the connectors.

[0084] In addition, the load unit 20 and / or the power supply unit 30 of the computing system 1 may adopt appropriate heat dissipation solutions, such as air-cooled heat dissipation or liquid-cooled heat dissipation. When air-cooled heat dissipation is adopted, fans may be provided inside each unit. In some embodiments, fans are provided inside each load subunit 21 and each power supply subunit 31. When liquid-cooled heat dissipation is adopted, as Figure 12 shown, the computing system 1 includes a liquid-cooling device 9, and a water inlet joint 91 and a water outlet joint 92 are provided in each load unit 20 and / or each power supply unit 30. It should be understood that there are many positions where the water inlet joint and the water outlet joint can be provided. They can be respectively provided on the power supply subunits and / or the load subunits, or can be shared by multiple power supply subunits and / or load subunits. Figure 12 This is only an example. In this embodiment, liquid-cooling the load unit 20 and the power supply unit 30 simultaneously by using the liquid-cooling device 9 is taken as an example. However, in fact, multiple liquid-cooling devices 9 can also be used to liquid-cool the load unit 20 and the power supply unit 30 separately.

[0085] The liquid-cooling device 9 includes a liquid storage unit 93, a main inlet pipe 94, a plurality of branch inlet pipes 95, a plurality of branch outlet pipes 96, and a main outlet pipe 97. The liquid storage unit 93 is used to store the coolant. The main inlet pipe 94 is connected to the liquid storage unit 93 to receive the coolant. A water pump for providing power to the coolant is provided in the liquid storage unit 93. Both ends of each branch inlet pipe 95 are respectively connected to the main inlet pipe 94 and the corresponding water inlet joint 91 to convey the coolant to cool the corresponding load unit 20 and / or power supply unit 30. Both ends of each branch outlet pipe 96 are respectively connected to the main outlet pipe 97 and the corresponding water outlet joint 92. The main outlet pipe 97 is connected between the liquid storage unit 93 and all the branch outlet pipes 96. The coolant discharged from the water outlet joint 92 is conveyed back to the liquid storage unit 93 via the corresponding branch outlet pipe 96 and the main outlet pipe 97. It should be noted that in practical applications, the liquid storage unit 93, the main inlet pipe 94, and the main outlet pipe 97 of the liquid-cooling device 9 can be installed in any load rack 82 or power supply rack 83 or an independent rack.

[0086] In summary, the present disclosure provides a computing system. By stacking multiple subunits of the power supply unit horizontally, the horizontal busbars used to connect the power supply unit and the load unit can be simplified. In addition, since multiple groups of horizontal busbars are used for power supply, the current density can be reduced, and the upper limit of the total power of the computing system can be increased. Moreover, by respectively arranging the load module and the power supply module in the corresponding racks, the number of the power supply module and the corresponding power supply rack can be expanded according to requirements in practical applications, effectively improving the scalability of the computing system.

[0087] It should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments proposed for the purpose of illustrating the present disclosure. The present disclosure is not limited to the described embodiments, and the scope of the present disclosure is determined by the claims. And the present disclosure can be modified and improved by those skilled in the art, but all without departing from the scope of protection of the claims.
