Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. Throughout the description of this application, "plurality" means two or more, unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present application provides a cabinet slide, including a fixed base 1, a cabinet base 2, a limit slot 3 and a limit member 4. The fixed base 1 serves as the basis of the entire cabinet slide and is fixedly installed in the container body 8 to ensure the stability of the entire cabinet slide. The cabinet base 2 is slidably connected to the fixed base 1, so that the cabinet 9 installed on the cabinet base 2 can move in the container body 8, thereby adjusting its position to stagger with other equipment, making enough space for the installation and maintenance of the cabinet 9. In order to control the sliding stroke of the cabinet base 2, a limit slot 3 is provided on the cabinet base 2, and a limit member 4 is provided on the fixed base 1, and the limit member 4 can extend into the limit slot 3. When the cabinet base 2 slides to its preset extreme position, the limit member 4 will contact the groove wall of the limit slot 3 to form an effective stop to prevent the cabinet base 2 from continuing to move. To meet the needs of different scenarios, in another embodiment of the present application, the limit slot 3 can also be provided on the fixed base 1, and the limit member 4 is correspondingly installed on the cabinet base 2. This design also ensures that the limit member 4 can always extend into the limit slot 3, and when the cabinet base 2 slides to the limit position, the contact between the limit member 4 and the wall of the limit slot 3 prevents the cabinet base 2 from moving further.

[0049] In order to achieve a sliding connection between the cabinet base 2 and the fixed base 1, in one embodiment of the present application, a guide rail is installed on the fixed base 1, and the cabinet base 2 is correspondingly equipped with a slider matching the guide rail. The slider can be slidably installed on the guide rail, thereby achieving smooth movement of the cabinet base 2 on the fixed base 1.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, a slide groove may also be provided on the fixing base 1, and a roller may be installed on the cabinet base 2. The roller can roll smoothly in the slide groove, thereby achieving smooth movement of the cabinet base 2 on the fixing base 1.

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cabinet base 2 is specifically a rectangular frame, the inner hollow portion of which serves as a limit slot 3. A limit member 4 is disposed on the fixed base 1. When the cabinet base 2 slides to its preset limit position, the limit member 4 contacts the inner wall of the rectangular frame, forming an effective stop and preventing the cabinet base 2 from further movement. Because the limit member 4 extends into the limit slot 3, it does not increase the overall thickness of the cabinet slide, thereby improving the structural compactness of the cabinet slide.

[0052] To meet the needs of different application scenarios, in one embodiment of the present application, the limit slot 3 can also be provided on the fixed base 1, and the limit member 4 is installed on the bottom surface of the cabinet base 2. This layout can also ensure that the limit member 4 extends into the limit slot 3. When the cabinet base 2 slides to its preset limit position, the limit member 4 will contact the groove wall of the limit slot 3, forming an effective stop, preventing the cabinet base 2 from moving further.

[0053] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the limiting member 4 includes a first limiting block 41 and a second limiting block 42 arranged in sequence along the sliding direction of the cabinet base 2. When the cabinet base 2 slides to the front limit position of the fixed base 1, the first limiting block 41 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting slot 3 to prevent the cabinet base 2 from moving forward. The distance between the first limiting block 41 and the limiting slot 3 is the maximum travel distance of the cabinet base 2 moving forward. When the cabinet base 2 slides to the rear limit position of the fixed base 1, the second limiting block 42 abuts against the groove wall of the limiting slot 3. The distance between the second limiting block 42 and the limiting slot 3 is the maximum travel distance of the cabinet base 2 moving backward.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, the first limit block 41 and the second limit block 42 are detachably connected to the fixing base 1 or the cabinet base 2. By adjusting the installation position of the first limit block 41 and the second limit block 42 on the limit member 4, the forward and backward travel distance of the cabinet base 2 can be changed to adapt to different usage scenarios and needs.

[0055] When transporting a container data center, ensuring that the cabinet base 2 is stably fixed to the fixed base 1 is crucial for protecting the cabinet 9 from potential damage. In one embodiment of the present application, the cabinet slide also includes a stop block 5, which is located at one end of the sliding travel of the cabinet base 2 and is detachably connected to the fixed base 1. When the stop block 5 is fixed to the fixed base 1, it contacts the cabinet base 2, forming a solid stop. This physical barrier effectively prevents the cabinet base 2 from accidentally sliding during transportation. When the stop block 5 is removed from the fixed base 1, the cabinet base 2 can resume sliding on the fixed base 1.

[0056] To further enhance the blocking stability and safety of the stopper 5, in one embodiment of the present application, multiple stopper blocks 5 are provided, each spaced apart from the other in a direction perpendicular to the sliding motion of the cabinet base 2. Multiple stopper blocks 5 form multiple support points on the cabinet base 2, enhancing the blocking stability and reliability of the stopper blocks 5 and improving the safety and durability of the entire system.

[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cabinet slide further includes a shock absorber 6, which is disposed on top of the cabinet base 2 and provides cushioning for the cabinet 9. Shock absorber 6 can be made from materials including, but not limited to, foam and rubber, all of which exhibit excellent shock absorption. The addition of shock absorber 6 effectively blocks or reduces vibration transmission between the cabinet 9 and the cabinet base 2, thereby ensuring the safe and stable operation of the equipment within the cabinet.

[0058] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the cabinet slide further includes a brush 7 connected to one end of the cabinet base 2. This brush 7 effectively separates the air at different temperatures at the front and rear ends of the cabinet slide, preventing the mixing of airflow in the cold and hot aisles within the container, thereby maintaining a stable temperature within the cabinet. Compared to traditional baffles, the brush 7 does not require disassembly during sliding and better adapts to the shape of the guide rail, improving ease of use.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the other end of the cabinet base 2 is further equipped with a cover plate 10. The cover plate 10 is fixed to the stop block 5 and serves to cover the stop block 5, improving the overall aesthetics and safety. Furthermore, the cover plate 10 further prevents the mixing of the cold aisle and hot aisle airflow within the container, providing a more stable operating environment for the cabinet.

[0060] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the present application also provides a container data center, including a box body 8, a cabinet group and a cabinet slide. The box body 8 adopts a standard container, and the box body 8 includes a cabinet compartment 81; the cabinet group is neatly arranged in a straight line in the cabinet compartment 81, thereby isolating one side of the cabinet compartment 81 into a cold channel and the other side into a hot channel. This cold and hot separation design can prevent the mixing of cold and hot air flows, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the data center. The cabinet group includes a plurality of cabinets 9, each cabinet 9 is mounted on a cabinet slide, so that each cabinet 9 can be independently moved to a cold channel or a hot channel, thereby enhancing the flexibility of the cabinet 9 and facilitating the installation and maintenance of the cabinet 9. The cabinet slide is specifically the cabinet slide in the above-mentioned embodiment, the cabinet slide is installed on the floor of the cabinet compartment 81, and the cabinet 9 is installed on the cabinet slide. Since the container data center has the cabinet slide in the above-mentioned embodiment, it also has the advantages of the cabinet slide in the above-mentioned embodiment.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, the housing 8 also includes a refrigeration device, the cold end of the refrigeration device is located in the cabinet compartment 81, and the hot end of the refrigeration device is located in the heat dissipation compartment 82. The heat dissipation compartment 82 is located at the first end of the cabinet compartment 81 and is isolated from the cabinet compartment 81. In order to maximize the cooling effect, the refrigeration device adopts air conditioning as a specific implementation method. The indoor unit of the air conditioner is arranged between each cabinet 9. Such a layout allows the cold air to blow evenly and directly to the cabinet, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is placed in the heat dissipation compartment 82, which can prevent the heat generated by the outdoor unit from affecting the cabinet compartment 81 and ensure that the outdoor unit operates in a good heat dissipation environment.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present application, housing 8 also includes a firefighting device to address potential fire risks. The firefighting device's control terminal is located in a main control compartment 83, which is located at the second end of the cabinet compartment 81 and is isolated from the cabinet compartment 81. This not only ensures physical isolation between the two, effectively avoiding potential electromagnetic interference and safety hazards, but also provides an independent control space for the firefighting device, ensuring its operational independence and stability.

[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
