[0043] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are simply described. As those skilled in the art can recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various different ways without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the drawings and the description are considered to be exemplary in nature rather than limiting.

[0044] FIG. 1A A perspective structural schematic diagram of a cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, FIG. 1B An enlarged view of an A area of FIG. 1A is shown, FIG. 1CA schematic structural diagram of the cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. FIG. 2A FIG. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of the cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present application from another perspective. FIG. 2B Show FIG. 2A A magnified view of area B. FIG. 3 A schematic top view of the structure of a cabinet 100 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown.

[0045] like FIG. 1A to FIG. 2B As shown, the interior of the cabinet 100 of this embodiment has a first accommodating space 100a and a second accommodating space 100b arranged in a first direction L1. The first accommodating space 100a is used to place multiple computing devices arranged vertically, and the second accommodating space 100b is used to place multiple power distribution units arranged vertically. The multiple power distribution units are used to connect the power modules outside the cabinet 100 with multiple computing devices to supply power to the multiple computing devices.

[0046] In this embodiment, multiple computing devices and multiple power distribution units can be centralized within a single cabinet 100, improving space utilization and facilitating power management and maintenance. Furthermore, by distributing power modules external to the cabinet 100 to the various computing devices within the cabinet 100 through multiple power distribution units, power wiring can be simplified and cable clutter can be avoided.

[0047] As will be understood, the power module is located within a power distribution cabinet outside the cabinet 100. For example, the power distribution cabinet and the cabinet 100 are arranged in a first direction L1. The power supply cable connected to the power module passes through the top of the power distribution cabinet, extends from the top of the power distribution cabinet to the top of the cabinet, and then passes through the top of the cabinet 100 into the interior of the cabinet 100 to connect to multiple power distribution units.

[0048] For example, the number of power distribution units may be less than the number of computing devices, that is, one power distribution unit may distribute power to multiple computing devices.

[0049] In one embodiment, the cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 110 and a shelf 120. The shelf 120 is disposed within the cabinet body 110. The shelf 120 defines a first accommodation space 100a, and a second accommodation space 110b is defined between the shelf 120 and the cabinet body 110. Providing accommodation space for computing devices on the independent shelf 120 can disperse the weight of the computing devices, prevent excessive stress on the overall structure of the cabinet 100, and improve the overall stability and safety of the cabinet 100.

[0050] In some examples, the shelf 120 may be welded and fixed to the interior of the cabinet 110 .

[0051] In other examples, the shelf 120 may be fixed to the interior of the cabinet 110 by fasteners.

[0052] It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that there are other ways of fixing the shelf 120 to the cabinet body 110, such as riveting, slot embedding, magnetic attraction or suction cup attraction, etc.

[0053] Exemplarily, the material of the shelf 120 can be metal. In some examples, the material of the shelf 120 can be steel. In other examples, the material of the shelf 120 can be aluminum alloy. It should be noted that the material of the shelf 120 is not limited to the above examples, and can also be copper, carbon steel, alloy steel, etc., or other composite materials with high strength and support, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0054] In one embodiment, the shelf 120 includes two support frames 1200 spaced apart in the first direction L1, i.e., the first accommodation space 100a is defined by the two support frames 1200. The support frame 1200 includes a plurality of columns 121 spaced apart in the second direction L2 and a plurality of support plates 122 spaced apart in the vertical direction and connected to the plurality of columns 121. The plurality of support plates 122 of one support frame 1200 are sequentially and oppositely distributed with the plurality of support plates 122 of the other support frame 1200 in the first direction L1, so as to support the computing devices by the oppositely distributed two support frames 1200, which can not only improve the stability of the placement of the computing devices, but also provide regular and neat arrangement space for the computing devices, facilitating the management and maintenance of the computing devices.

[0055] In some examples, the first direction L1 and the second direction L2 can be two horizontal directions perpendicular to each other.

[0056] Referring to FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, FIG. 1A and FIG. 2B As shown, each support frame 1200 includes two columns 121 arranged on both sides of the second direction L2, respectively, constituting the vertical support column of the support frame 1200, and a plurality of support plates 122 spaced apart in the vertical direction are connected between the two columns 121, the plurality of support plates 122 constituting the support platform of each computing device, so as to enhance the overall strength of the shelf 120.

[0057] The support plate 122 can include vertical fixed plates 122a fixed to the corresponding plurality of vertical columns 121 and horizontal bearing plates 122b horizontally extended from the lower ends of the fixed plates 122a towards the support plate 122 of the other support frame 1200, forming a plurality of pairs of facing bearing plates 122b vertically spaced apart. Each computing device can be directly pushed into the corresponding pair of bearing plates 122b in the second direction L2, facilitating placement and operation.

[0058] For example, a bearing platform can be arranged between the two facing fixed plates 122a, located above the two facing bearing plates 122b, and the computing device can be placed on the corresponding bearing platform, improving the stability of the placement of the computing device.

[0059] The cabinet 100 can further include a plurality of power supply support seats 124 vertically spaced apart in the second accommodating space 100b, connected between the cabinet body 110 and the shelf 120, for supporting a plurality of power distribution units respectively, ensuring the stability of the placement of the power distribution units. Referring to FIG. 1C As shown, the shelf 120 is connected between the support frame 1200 located on the right side in the first direction L1 and the right side wall of the cabinet body 110 in the first direction L1, and a plurality of power supply support seats 124 are vertically spaced apart. For example, each power supply support seat 124 can place one power distribution unit.

[0060] In some examples, the power supply support seat 124 can be welded between the cabinet body 110 and the shelf 120. In other examples, the power supply support seat 124 can be fixed between the cabinet body 110 and the shelf 120 by fasteners. It should be noted that this is only an example and does not limit the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the power supply support seat 124 can be connected to the cabinet body 110 and the shelf 120 in other ways, such as riveting, pin connection or buckle connection, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0061] In one embodiment, the cabinet 100 further includes a wiring column 130 vertically arranged on the front side of the shelf 120 in the second direction L2, and the wiring column 130 is formed with a plurality of wire slots 131 for network cables to pass through, the network cables being used to connect with the network interface of the computing device, realizing the network connection of the computing device.

[0062] For example, the wiring column 130 is distributed with a plurality of weight reduction holes to reduce the overall weight.

[0063] In some examples, the wiring column 130 can be welded to the inside of the cabinet body 110.

[0064] In other examples, the wiring column 130 can be fixed to the interior of the cabinet 110 by fasteners. It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation of the present application.

[0065] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that there may be many other ways to fix the wiring post 130 to the cabinet 110, such as riveting, slot-embedded fixing, magnet adsorption fixing, or suction cup adsorption fixing, but are not limited thereto.

[0066] For example, the wiring post 130 may be made of metal. In some examples, the wiring post 130 may be made of steel to ensure its strength. In other examples, the wiring post 130 may be made of aluminum to reduce its weight while ensuring its strength.

[0067] It should be noted that the material of the wiring column 130 is not limited to the above examples, and the material may also be carbon steel, alloy steel, or other composite materials with high strength and support, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0068] In one embodiment, a wire hole (such as FIG. 3 , the wire hole is covered by the cover plate 112 and is not shown), the wire hole is used for the power supply cable to pass through and connect to the power distribution unit, and the power supply module outside the cabinet 100 is connected to each power distribution unit through the power supply cable.

[0069] Reference FIG. 3 As shown, the top of the wire hole is covered with a cover plate 112, and the cover plate 112 is installed on the top wall of the cabinet 110. Specifically, the top of the cabinet 110 is defined with a plurality of first fixing holes on the periphery of the wire hole, and the cover plate 112 has a plurality of second fixing holes corresponding to the plurality of first fixing holes. Before the power supply cable is connected, the cover plate 112 is fixed above the wire hole by fasteners that pass through the second fixing holes and the first fixing holes in sequence. In other words, before the power supply cable is connected, the wire hole is covered by the cover plate 112. For example, during the transportation and handling of the cabinet, the cover plate 112 covers the wire hole to prevent debris from falling into the interior of the cabinet 110. After delivery, the cover plate 112 is removed, and the power supply cable passes through the wire hole and is connected to the power distribution unit inside the cabinet 110.

[0070] In one embodiment, a lifting ring 170 may be provided on the top of the cabinet 110. The lifting ring 170 is detachably provided on the top of the cabinet 110 and is used to connect a lifting rope to facilitate the transportation of the cabinet 100. There may be multiple lifting rings 170 to improve the stability of the cabinet 100 during transportation. FIG. 3 A lifting ring 170 is provided at each of the four corners of the top of the cabinet body 110 , which is helpful to maintain the balance and stability of the cabinet 100 when it is lifted.

[0071] Exemplarily, the lifting ring 170 includes an annular portion and a mounting portion. The mounting portion is connected to the top of the cabinet 110, and the annular portion is located above the mounting portion to facilitate connection with the lifting rope. The lifting ring 170 is arranged vertically as a whole, so that the cabinet 100 can remain in an upright position when it is lifted, which is conducive to maintaining the stability of the cabinet 100 and facilitating the placement of the cabinet 100. Exemplarily, the mounting portion can be a bolt, and a screw hole is formed at the top of the cabinet 110 at a position corresponding to the mounting portion. The combination of the bolt and the screw hole facilitates the installation and removal of the lifting ring 170.

[0072] In one embodiment, a top connecting plate 190 may be provided on the top of the cabinet body 110 of the cabinet 100. The top connecting plate 190 is provided on one side of the top of the cabinet body 110 in the first direction L1 and is used to connect to adjacent cabinets 100 arranged in the first direction L1. In other words, two adjacent cabinets 100 arranged in the first direction L1 can be connected together via the top connecting plate 190, facilitating the construction of multiple cabinets 100 arranged and connected in sequence, thereby forming a stable integrated system of multiple cabinets 100, which facilitates transportation, integrated delivery, and application.

[0073] Exemplarily, the top connecting plate 190 can be set at the edge of the top of the cabinet body 110 in the first direction L1, the top connecting plate 190 has a connecting hole, and the top of another adjacent cabinet 100 has another connecting hole corresponding to the connecting hole, and the two adjacent cabinets 100 are connected by fasteners that pass through the connecting hole and the other connecting hole in sequence.

[0074] For example, multiple cabinets 100 are arranged on the first side of the first direction L1, and the power distribution cabinet is located on the second side of the cabinet 100 in the first direction L1. The power modules in one power distribution cabinet supply power to multiple power distribution units in each cabinet 100. The top connection plate 190 is provided on the first side of the top of the cabinet 100 in the first direction L1 to facilitate connection with adjacent cabinets 100. FIG. 3 As shown, two top connecting plates 190 spaced apart in the second direction L2 are installed on the first side of the first direction L1 at the top of the cabinet 100. The cabinet 100 is connected to the adjacent cabinets 100 through the two top connecting plates 190 on the second direction L2, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the adjacent cabinets 100, making the integrated cabinet 100 more stable and avoiding shaking of the cabinet 100 during transportation.

[0075] In an embodiment, a plurality of cabinets 100 can be carried on a support platform to form a sled for easy transportation. The bottom of the cabinet body 110 can be formed with vertically extending third fixing holes 111 for fasteners to pass through to secure the cabinet 100 to the support platform to maintain the stability of the cabinet 100 for easy transportation. For example, four corner regions of the bottom of the cabinet body 110 can be formed with third fixing holes 111 respectively, and the cabinet 100 can be secured to the support platform through the four third fixing holes 111 for more stability and less shaking during transportation.

[0076] In an embodiment, the cabinet 100 can be connected to the support platform through bottom connecting plates 180, which are downwardly inclined from the outside of the bottom of the cabinet body 110 in the second direction L2 to form a stable triangular structure of the bottom connecting plates 180 to improve the stability of the connection between the cabinet 100 and the support platform. It can be understood that the bottom connecting plates 180 are formed with connecting holes for connection with the cabinet body 110 and connecting holes for connection with the support platform, and the fasteners passing through the corresponding connecting holes are used to secure the bottom connecting plates 180 to the cabinet body 110 and the support platform respectively.

[0077] For example, referring to FIG. 3 , the bottom of the cabinet body 110 is provided with bottom connecting plates 180 on both sides in the second direction L2 to improve the stability of the connection between the cabinet 100 and the support platform.

[0078] In an embodiment, the bottom of the cabinet body 110 can be provided with a plurality of rollers 101 for easy movement of the cabinet body 110. For example, the bottom of the cabinet body 110 is provided with four rollers 101, which are evenly spaced and arranged near the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet body 110.

[0079] In an embodiment, the cabinet further comprises a plurality of mounting plates 123 arranged on one side of the shelves 120 in the second direction L2, and the mounting plates 123 are provided with mounting holes for connection with the medium distribution pipeline arranged on the one side of the shelves 120 in the second direction L2, and the medium distribution pipeline is used to connect with the cooling pipeline inside the computing device.

[0080] For example, the medium distribution pipeline is two, which are the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150 and the liquid return distribution pipeline 140, and the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150 and the liquid return distribution pipeline 140 are arranged vertically on one side of the two support frames 1200 of the shelves 120 in the second direction L2.

[0081] For example, the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150 and the liquid return distribution pipeline 140 can be fixed to the shelves 120 in a detachable manner.

[0082] In some examples, the plurality of mounting plates 123 are connected to the support frame 1200 of the rack 120 adjacent to the uprights 121 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the cabinet body 110 of the cabinet 100, and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 is fixed to the corresponding mounting plate 123 through the connecting member 153 thereon. The uprights 121 of the support frame 1200 adjacent to the liquid return distribution pipe 140 can be provided with a plurality of another mounting plates (not shown) arranged vertically and spaced apart, and the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 is fixed to the another mounting plate through the connecting member 153 thereon.

[0083] In other examples, the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 can be detachably connected to the rack 120 through snap connection, magnet attraction or suction cup adsorption, and are not limited thereto.

[0084] For example, the connecting member 153 of each of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 is fixed to the corresponding upright 121 of the rack 120 by screwing, welding or riveting, etc.

[0085] It should be noted that the above is only an example for illustration and does not constitute a limitation on the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the connection mode of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 to the rack 120 can also have other modes, such as clamp fixing, binding fixing or buckle fixing, etc., and are not limited thereto.

[0086] In one embodiment, the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 has a liquid inlet port 151 and a plurality of liquid outlet ports 152 arranged vertically and spaced apart, the liquid inlet port 151 is used to connect with the liquid supply outlet of the cooling device, and the plurality of liquid outlet ports 152 are used to connect with the media input ends of the plurality of computing devices, respectively. The liquid return distribution pipe 140 has a liquid outlet port 141 and a plurality of liquid inlet ports 142 arranged vertically and spaced apart, the plurality of liquid inlet ports 142 are used to connect with the media output ends of the plurality of computing devices, respectively, and the liquid outlet port 141 is used to connect with the liquid return inlet of the cooling device.

[0087] It can be understood that the computing device is internally provided with a cooling pipe, the cooling pipe has a media input end and a media output end, and the cooling medium flows through the cooling pipe to absorb the heat of the key heat generating components of the computing device, reduce the temperature of the computing device, and ensure the stable operation of the computing device. For example, the cooling medium can be water, oil or other liquid with good heat conduction.

[0088] The cabinet 100 of this embodiment not only accommodates various computing devices but also provides cooling for them. Its compact structure and minimal footprint facilitate maintenance and reduce costs. Furthermore, a single liquid inlet distribution line 150 and a single liquid return distribution line 140 enable liquid delivery and return to multiple computing devices, reducing the number of components in the cabinet 100 and simplifying its overall structure. This also facilitates centralized management, enabling more effective temperature control and reducing energy consumption.

[0089] Exemplarily, the cross-sections of the liquid inlet distribution line 150 and the liquid return distribution line 140 are both square, for example, square. In other examples, the liquid inlet distribution line 150 and the liquid return distribution line 140 may be circular tubes. It should be noted that this is merely an example and does not constitute a limitation of the present application. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the liquid inlet distribution line 150 and the liquid return distribution line 140 may also be corrugated tubes, special-shaped tubes, spiral tubes, multi-layer composite tubes, etc., and are not limited thereto.

[0090] For example, the inner diameters of the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150 and the liquid return distribution pipeline 140 may be 70 mm to 160 mm, so as to ensure the flow rate of the cooling medium while reducing pressure loss.

[0091] Exemplarily, the inner diameter of the liquid inlet 151 and the liquid outlet 141 can be 50 mm to 150 mm, ensuring that a sufficient flow of cooling medium passes through the liquid inlet 151 and the liquid outlet 141, while reducing the flow rate at the liquid inlet 151 and the liquid outlet 141, thereby reducing friction loss and pressure drop, and ensuring that the cooling medium at each liquid inlet 151 and the liquid outlet 141 has sufficient pressure.

[0092] Exemplarily, the inner diameter of the liquid delivery port 152 and the liquid return port 142 can be 8 mm to 20 mm, increasing the flow rate of the cooling medium at the liquid delivery port 152 and the liquid return port 142, and ensuring that the flow rate at the liquid delivery port 152 and the liquid return port 142 matches the flow rate at the liquid inlet 151 and the liquid outlet 141, respectively.

[0093] Exemplarily, each liquid delivery port 152 is connected to the input end of the cooling pipeline of each computing device through a liquid delivery hose, and each liquid return port 142 is connected to the output end of the cooling pipeline of each computing device through a liquid return hose.

[0094] In an embodiment, the projections of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 on the vertical plane are located on two sides of the projections of the plurality of computing devices on the vertical plane; the plurality of liquid inlet ports 152 and the plurality of liquid return ports 142 are distributed on the first direction L1 opposite to each other, and the plurality of liquid inlet ports 152 are adjacent to one side of the plurality of computing devices 230 on the first direction L1, and the plurality of liquid return ports 142 are adjacent to the other side of the plurality of computing devices on the first direction L1. In this way, the arrangement of the liquid inlet hose between each liquid inlet port 152 and the input end of each cooling pipe 215 and the arrangement of the liquid return hose between each liquid return port 142 and the output end of each cooling pipe 215 can be simplified, thereby shortening the length of the liquid inlet hose and the liquid return hose.

[0095] In an embodiment, the liquid inlet port 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 is formed on one side of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 on the second direction L2 and is arranged adjacent to the top end of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150; and the liquid outlet port 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 is formed on one side of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 on the second direction L2 and is arranged adjacent to the top end of the liquid return distribution pipe 140. In this way, the liquid inlet port 151 and the liquid outlet port 141 are respectively connected to the liquid supply outlet and the liquid return inlet of the cooling device.

[0096] In an embodiment, the top end of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the top end of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 are respectively provided with an air exhaust valve 160, which facilitates the outward exhaust of the water vapor in the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the water vapor in the liquid return distribution pipe 140, reduces the gas content in the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140, and is beneficial to improving the delivery efficiency of the cooling medium.

[0097] For example, the second air exhaust valve 160 is a mechanical valve. Under normal circumstances, the valve of the second air exhaust valve 160 is closed, when the cooling medium in the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 collects air or gas, the gas rises and collects at the top of the second air exhaust valve 160, when the gas pressure is high enough, the valve of the second air exhaust valve 160 is opened, the gas is exhausted, and after the gas is exhausted, the valve is quickly closed.

[0098] In an embodiment, the cabinet 100 can further include two flexible connection pipes (not shown) connected to the two air exhaust valves 160, respectively. The flexible connection pipes can extend to the bottom of the cabinet 100, and the water vapor is drained to the support platform at the bottom of the cabinet 100 through the flexible connection pipes, and is discharged to the outside through the gap of the support platform.

[0099] FIG. 4A FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the cooling principle of a data center according to an embodiment of the present application, FIG. 4B FIG. 3 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a data center according to an embodiment of the present application.

[0100] Referring toFIG. 4A and FIG. 4B The embodiment of the present application further provides a computing assembly 1000, comprising the cabinet 100 and the plurality of computing devices 230 according to any of the preceding embodiments, wherein the plurality of computing devices 230 are vertically arranged in the first accommodating space 100a of the cabinet 100, so as to improve the computing power and maximize the utilization of the internal space of the cabinet 100. In addition, the plurality of computing devices 230 are regularly and neatly arranged in the cabinet 100, which facilitates management and maintenance.

[0101] In an embodiment, the computing device 230 is provided with a cooling pipeline 215, the plurality of liquid delivery ports 152 of the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150 of the cabinet 100 are connected with the medium input ends of the cooling pipelines 215 of the plurality of computing devices 230 respectively, and the plurality of liquid return ports 142 of the liquid return distribution pipeline 140 of the cabinet 100 are connected with the medium output ends of the cooling pipelines 215 of the plurality of computing devices 230 respectively, so as to use the cooling medium flowing through the cooling pipelines 215 to cool the key heat generating components, such as the computing power board, in the computing device 230, and ensure the normal operation of the computing device 230.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 4A and FIG. 4B The embodiment of the present application further provides a data center, comprising a plurality of computing assemblies 1000 according to any of the preceding embodiments, wherein the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 are sequentially arranged along a first direction L1, and the computing assembly 1000 comprises a plurality of power distribution units, and the plurality of power distribution units are vertically arranged in the second accommodating space 100b of the cabinet 100 of the computing assembly 1000; the data center further comprises a power distribution cabinet 600, which is arranged on one side of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 in the first direction L1, and the power distribution cabinet 600 is connected with the power distribution units of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 through power supply cables.

[0103] For example, the top of the power distribution cabinet 600 is formed with another wire hole, the power supply cables are connected with the power distribution cabinet 600, extend to the top of the cabinet 100 of the computing assembly 1000 through the other wire hole, and enter the cabinet 100 through the wire hole in the top of the cabinet 100 to be connected with each power distribution unit. The power supply cables are arranged in the space above the power distribution cabinet 600 and the computing assembly 1000, which can improve the space utilization and facilitate the connection of the power supply cables with the power distribution cabinet 600 and the power distribution units of the computing assembly 1000 respectively.

[0104] Another cover plate can be arranged above the other wire-through hole of the power distribution cabinet 600, and the other cover plate is arranged on the top of the power distribution cabinet 600. Specifically, the top of the power distribution cabinet 600 is provided with a plurality of fourth fixing holes around the other wire-through hole, and the other cover plate is provided with a plurality of fifth fixing holes corresponding to the plurality of fourth fixing holes. Before the power supply cable is connected, the other cover plate is fixed above the other wire-through hole by fasteners passing through the fourth fixing holes and the fifth fixing holes. That is, before the power supply cable is connected, the other wire-through hole is covered by the other cover plate. For example, during transportation and moving of the cabinet, the other cover plate covers the other wire-through hole to prevent foreign matter from falling into the interior of the power distribution cabinet 600. After delivery, the other cover plate is removed, and the power supply cable is connected to the power distribution unit in the interior of the power distribution cabinet 600 through the other wire-through hole, and the wiring is completed.

[0105] The data center of the embodiment can adopt a container type data center. For example, the data center can include a box body 700, and the power distribution cabinet 600 and the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 are integrated in the interior of the box body 700. In this way, the container type data center is formed, which is convenient for transportation and delivery. In addition, compared with a traditional data center, the container type data center has lower construction and maintenance costs, and can be pre-assembled and tested. After delivery, the data center only needs to be simply connected to a power supply and a network by power supply cables and network cables respectively, and then can be put into use, thereby greatly saving time.

[0106] In an embodiment, the data center of the embodiment further includes the cooling device 200. In the high-density device environment of the data center, water and electricity separation can effectively prevent the safety hazard caused by liquid leakage to the power equipment, and ensure efficient, safe and stable operation of the data center.

[0107] For example, the power distribution cabinet 600 can be arranged apart from the cooling device 200.

[0108] In some examples, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are distributed on opposite sides of the at least one computing assembly 1000 in the first direction L1, that is, the cooling device 200 is arranged on one side of the at least one computing assembly 1000 in the first direction L1, and the power distribution cabinet 600 is arranged on the other side of the at least one computing assembly 1000 in the first direction L1. The distance between the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 is increased, and at the same time, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are physically isolated by the computing assembly 1000, thereby greatly improving the overall reliability of the data center.

[0109] In other examples, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are distributed on opposite sides of the at least one computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2, and the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are isolated by the at least one computing assembly 1000, thereby improving the safety of water and electricity separation.

[0110] It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0111] Those skilled in the art can understand that, based on the basic principle of spacing the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 can also be spaced in other ways, for example, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are spaced in the up-down direction of the at least one computing assembly 1000, that is, one of the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 is located above the computing assembly 1000, and the other is located below the computing assembly 1000, to achieve physical isolation of the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200; for example, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are not isolated by the computing assembly 1000, and can be isolated by adding other objects or directly by increasing the distance between the two to achieve water and electricity separation. It should be noted that this is also only an example, and the spacing of the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 is not limited to the foregoing examples.

[0112] The liquid supply outlet of the cooling device 200 is connected with the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150, and the liquid return inlet of the cooling device 200 is connected with the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipeline 140, so as to form a circulating loop of the cooling medium between the cooling device 200 and the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150, the cooling pipeline 215 and the liquid return distribution pipeline 140 of the computing assembly 1000, and implement continuous cooling of the computing device 230.

[0113] The cooling device 200 of the embodiment can include a heat exchange module 10, a first pipeline group 20 and a second pipeline group 30, and the first pipeline group 20 and the second pipeline group 30 can be arranged on both sides of the heat exchange module 10 in the second direction L2. The inside of the heat exchange module 10 can be defined with a first heat exchange flow path 10a and a second heat exchange flow path 10b. The first heat exchange flow path 10a can be used for flowing of the cooling medium, and the second heat exchange flow path 10b can be used for flowing of the heat exchange medium. The cooling medium in the first heat exchange flow path 10a can exchange heat with the heat exchange medium in the second heat exchange flow path 10b, so as to reduce the temperature of the cooling medium.

[0114] The first pipe group 20 can include a first liquid supply pipe 21 and a first liquid return pipe 22. The liquid supply inlet of the first liquid supply pipe 21 can be connected to the output end of the first heat exchange flow path 10a, and the liquid supply outlet of the first liquid supply pipe 21 can be connected to the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 of the computing assembly 200. The liquid return outlet of the first liquid return pipe 22 can be connected to the input end of the first heat exchange flow path 10a, and the liquid return inlet of the first liquid return pipe 22 can be connected to the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 of the computing assembly 200. The second pipe group 30 can include a second liquid supply pipe 31 and a second liquid return pipe 32. The second liquid supply pipe 31 can be connected to the input end of the second heat exchange flow path 10b, and the second liquid supply pipe 31 can be connected to the medium output end of the cold source device 500. The second liquid return pipe 32 can be connected to the output end of the second heat exchange flow path 10b, and the second liquid return pipe 32 can be connected to the medium return end of the cold source device 500. The first pipe group 20 and the second pipe group 30 can be arranged on opposite sides of the heat exchange module 10, respectively.

[0115] In an embodiment, the first liquid supply pipe 21 can include a first liquid supply sub-pipe 211 and a second liquid supply sub-pipe 212 connected in series. The first liquid supply sub-pipe 211 and the second liquid supply sub-pipe 212 can extend along the first direction L1, respectively, and be arranged side by side and spaced apart in the second direction L2. The first liquid supply sub-pipe 211 has a liquid supply inlet at one end adjacent to the heat exchange module 10, and the liquid supply inlet is connected to the output end of the first heat exchange flow path 10a. The second liquid supply sub-pipe 212 is connected to the other end of the first liquid supply sub-pipe 211 away from the heat exchange module 10, and the second liquid supply sub-pipe 212 has a liquid supply outlet connected to the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150. The first liquid return pipe 22 can include a first liquid return section 221 extending along the first direction L1. The first liquid return section 221 can be provided with a liquid return inlet connected to the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140.

[0116] In an embodiment, the second liquid supply sub-pipe 212 can be provided with a plurality of liquid supply outlets arranged in the first direction L1 and corresponding to the liquid inlets 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipes 150 of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000, respectively. Each liquid supply outlet can be in communication with the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 of the corresponding computing assembly 1000. The first liquid return section 221 can be provided with a plurality of liquid return inlets arranged in the first direction L1 and corresponding to the liquid outlets 141 of the liquid return distribution pipes 140 of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000, respectively. Each liquid return inlet 221a can be connected to the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 of the corresponding computing assembly 1000.

[0117] According to the above embodiment, by arranging multiple liquid return inlets in the first direction L1, the backflow path of the cooling medium is evenly distributed, and the space utilization is optimized. Meanwhile, the modular design of the corresponding liquid supply outlet and liquid return inlet of the computing assembly 1000 helps the overall expansion and maintenance of the cooling device 200. When it is necessary to increase or reduce the computing assembly 1000, only the positions and quantities of the corresponding liquid supply outlet and liquid return inlet need to be adjusted, thereby improving the flexibility and maintenance efficiency of the cooling device 200.

[0118] In one example, the liquid supply outlet of the first pipe group 20 is connected to the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 of the computing assembly 1000 through the liquid inlet pipe 213, and the liquid return inlet of the first pipe group 20 is connected to the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 of the computing assembly 1000 through the liquid outlet pipe 226.

[0119] In some examples, at least one of the liquid inlet pipe 213 and the liquid outlet pipe 226 is a flexible pipe to adapt to space limitations and facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0120] In other examples, at least one of the liquid inlet pipe 213 and the liquid outlet pipe 226 is a rigid pipe to improve the structural strength of the pipe.

[0121] It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the flexible pipe used in the liquid inlet pipe 213 and the liquid outlet pipe 226 can be a plastic pipe, a corrugated pipe, etc. which can be bent and has elasticity. The rigid pipe can be a copper pipe, an aluminum pipe, a stainless steel pipe, etc. which has a large hardness, or a plastic pipe which has a strong hardness and support, or a rigid pipe made of plastic, metal or composite material which has a certain hardness and bending ability.

[0122] The material of the liquid inlet pipe 213 and the liquid outlet pipe 226 is not limited to the above examples, but can also be any combination of the above materials, such as a combination of soft and hard pipes, all flexible pipes or all rigid pipes, etc.

[0123] In one embodiment, the first liquid return pipe 22 further includes a second liquid return section and a third liquid return section connected thereto, and the second liquid return section and the third liquid return section respectively extend in the vertical direction. One end of the first liquid return section away from the heat exchange module 10 is closed, and the other end of the first liquid return section adjacent to the heat exchange module 10 is connected to the first end of the second liquid return section. The second end of the second liquid return section is connected to the first end of the third liquid return section, and the second end of the third liquid return section is connected to the input end of the first heat exchange flow path 10a.

[0124] In one embodiment, the cooling device 200 further comprises a first power device 40 and a second power device 50. The first power device 40 is in communication with the first pipe group 20 for powering the flow of the cooling medium. The second power device 50 is in communication with the second pipe group 30 for powering the flow of the heat exchange medium.

[0125] For example, the first power device 40 and the second power device 50 can be fluid power pumps for pushing the cooling medium to flow in the pipes.

[0126] The cooling device 200 further comprises a first storage tank 80 and a second storage tank 90. The first storage tank 80 is in communication with the first pipe group 20 for storing the cooling medium to replenish the first pipe group 20. The second storage tank 90 is in communication with the second pipe group 30 for storing the heat exchange medium to replenish the second pipe group 30.

[0127] In one embodiment, the cooling device 200 further comprises a first pressure stabilizer 60 and a second pressure stabilizer 70. The first pressure stabilizer 60 is in communication with the first pipe group 20 for stabilizing the pressure of the first pipe group 20. The second pressure stabilizer 70 is in communication with the second pipe group 30 for stabilizing the pressure of the second pipe group 30. When the pressure in the cooling medium circulation system of the cooling device 200 is too high, the excess cooling medium in the first pipe group 20 will enter the first pressure stabilizer 60. When the pressure in the system is too low, the cooling medium in the first pressure stabilizer 60 will flow back to the system to maintain the pressure stable. In this way, the stability, reliability and heat exchange efficiency of the cooling device 200 are improved. Similarly, when the pressure in the heat exchange medium circulation system of the cooling device 200 is too high or too low, the second pressure stabilizer 70 is used to adjust the pressure to maintain the pressure stable.

[0128] In one embodiment, the data center further comprises a top frame 300 and a support platform 400. The top frame 300 is fixed to the top of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000, and part of the first pipe group 20 can be supported by the top frame 300. The power distribution cabinet 600, the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 and the cooling device 200 are integrated on the support platform 400. In this way, a jack-up structure is formed, the integration of the data center is improved, unified transportation and delivery are realized, and after delivery, the data center can be directly placed in position, reducing the requirements for land flatness and concrete foundation. In addition, the top frame 300 can provide a support and fixing structure for the first pipe group 20 of the cooling device 200, improving the stability of the overall structure of the data center.

[0129] The above-mentioned jack-up structure can be accommodated in the interior of the box 700 to form a container-type jack-up structure, facilitating transportation and delivery, while providing a solid structure to prevent the influence of the external environment.

[0130] In one example, the prybar structure can be directly placed inside the box 700, ensuring the stability of the prybar structure during the data center moving process, and the inner size of the box 700 can be matched with the outer size of the prybar structure to prevent the prybar structure from moving; or a buffer protection layer can be additionally arranged between the prybar structure and the box 700 to provide additional protection against movement.

[0131] In other examples, the prybar structure can be fixed inside the box 700, for example, the support platform 400 and / or the top frame 300 of the prybar structure can be fixed to the bottom wall and / or the side wall of the box 700 by fasteners.

[0132] It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the present application.

[0133] As can be understood by those skilled in the art, the prybar structure can also have other arrangements relative to the box 700, for example, an anti-skid pad can be additionally arranged at the bottom of the box 700, or a shock pad or shock absorber can be used to isolate the prybar structure from the box 700 to reduce the vibration and impact generated by the box 700 during the moving process. In addition, clamps or buckles can also be arranged inside the box 700, or the prybar structure can be fixed by magnetic attraction or vacuum adsorption. Here, only an example is provided, and the arrangement of the prybar structure relative to the box 700 is not limited to the above examples.

[0134] In addition, it should be noted that the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 can have other positional relationships with the box 700 in addition to being contained inside the box 700, for example, one of the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 can be arranged inside the box 700, and the other can be arranged outside the box 700, so that the box 700 physically isolates the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200, thereby improving the safety of water and electricity separation; for another example, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are both located outside the box 700 and are located at different sides of the box 700, so that the box 700 physically isolates the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200, thereby ensuring the safety of water and electricity separation. It should be noted that here, only an example is provided, and the positional relationship of the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 relative to the box 700 is not limited to the above examples.

[0135] In an embodiment, the support platform 400 can include a frame structure, a support plate and a rack, the frame structure having a first region and a second region arranged in the first direction L1, the support plate covering the first region, and the rack being disposed in the second region. The at least one computing assembly 1000 and the power distribution cabinet 600 are disposed on the support plate, and the heat exchange module is supported on the upper portion of the rack, which on one hand improves the stability of the computing assembly 1000 and the heat exchange module 10, and on the other hand elevates the heat exchange module 10, facilitating the connection of the heat exchange module 10 with the first pipeline group 20 supported on the top frame 300.

[0136] For example, the frame structure includes a plurality of first support beams extending in the first direction L1 and a plurality of second support beams extending in the second direction L2, and a plurality of second support beams are connected between adjacent two first support beams. The first support beam and the second support beam can be fixedly connected by welding. The first support beam and the second support beam can both be I-beams.

[0137] For example, the plurality of second support beams distributed in the second direction L2 and connected between adjacent two first support beams can be distributed relatively and / or staggered. At least part of the second support beams are staggered in the second direction L2 to optimize the load distribution, avoid local stress concentration, and improve the structural stability and rigidity of the support platform 400.

[0138] In some examples, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 are integrated in different regions of the support platform 400. On one hand, the support platform 400 elevates the power distribution cabinet 600, which is not in contact with the placement surface of the data center, and can avoid the problem that the leakage of the cooling device 200 may cause water on the placement surface to affect the power distribution cabinet 600. On the other hand, the support platform 400 can guide the leakage of the cooling device 200 to the outside of the support platform 400, completely isolating water and electricity, and further improving the safety of the data center.

[0139] In a specific example, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the computing assembly 1000 are both disposed on the support plate of the first region of the support platform 400, and the cooling device 200 is disposed in the second region of the support platform 400. Due to the frame structure of the second region, the leakage of the cooling device 200 can be discharged to the outside of the support platform 400 through the second region, and will not be deposited on the support platform 400, and even less will flow to the support plate in the first region from the second region, thereby avoiding the problem that the power distribution cabinet 600 is in contact with the leaked liquid.

[0140] The power distribution cabinet 600, the computing assembly 1000 and the cooling device 200 of the embodiment are integrated on the support platform 400, which not only effectively utilizes the vertical and horizontal space, reduces the physical floor area, facilitates the overall transportation and delivery, but also simplifies the monitoring and management process, facilitates the operation and maintenance of the operation and maintenance personnel, and further, the integrated design can reduce the distance and time of power and signal transmission, improve the response speed of the data center, and improve the overall reliability of the data center.

[0141] For example, the support plate includes a plurality of plate bodies arranged in a splicing manner, and each plate body is connected to the frame structure by a corresponding fastener. A gap is defined between two adjacent plate bodies, and the gap is used to guide the liquid on the support plate to the lower side of the support plate to avoid the liquid from depositing on the support plate.

[0142] In some examples, each plate body is connected to the frame structure by a corresponding fastener. In other examples, the plate body is fixedly connected to the frame structure by welding. It should be noted that the above is only an example and does not constitute a limitation on the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the connection mode of the plate body and the frame structure can also have other modes, such as riveting, bolt connection or buckle connection, etc., which can realize the fixed connection between the plate body and the frame structure. Here, only an example is given, and the connection mode of the plate body and the frame structure is not limited to this.

[0143] In some examples, the rack body can be welded to the first region of the frame structure. In other examples, the rack body can be connected to the first region of the frame structure by a fastener, riveting, bolt connection or buckle connection, etc. Here, only an example is given, and the connection mode of the rack body and the frame structure is not limited to this.

[0144] For example, the rack body can include a vertical frame and a horizontal frame, the bottom end of the vertical frame is connected to the first region, and the horizontal frame is connected to the top end of the vertical frame.

[0145] The size of the first region in the first direction L1 is greater than the size of the second region in the first direction L1, which reasonably allocates space for the computing assembly 1000, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200.

[0146] The size of the first region in the second direction L2 is substantially equal to the size of the second region in the second direction L2, which meets the space requirements of the computing assembly 1000, the power distribution cabinet 600 and the cooling device 200 in the second direction L2, while maintaining the overall regularity of the support platform 400, facilitating the data center to be accommodated in the container, and improving the convenience of data center transportation.

[0147] It should be noted that the sizes of the first region and the second region can be flexibly set according to actual conditions to provide a bearing space for the computing assembly 1000, the power distribution cabinet 600, and the cooling device 200, and to ensure that the computing assembly 1000, the power distribution cabinet 600, and the cooling device 200 are distributed in different regions on the support platform 400.

[0148] In an embodiment, the second region of the frame structure has three sub-regions arranged in the second direction L2, the three sub-regions being a middle sub-region and two side sub-regions, the middle sub-region being provided with a rack, and the heat exchange module 10 being arranged on the upper part of the rack, the second return liquid section and the third return liquid section of the first pipe group 20 being located in one sub-region adjacent to one side of the first liquid supply pipe 21, thereby fully utilizing the space above the support platform 400 and facilitating the connection of the third return liquid section and the input end of the first heat exchange flow path 10a of the heat exchange module 10.

[0149] In an embodiment, the second liquid supply pipe 31 and the second return liquid pipe 32 are located in one sub-region of the support platform 400 away from the first liquid supply pipe 21 in the horizontal plane, that is, the second liquid supply pipe 31 and the second return liquid pipe 32 of the second pipe group 30 are distributed on the opposite sides of the heat exchange module 10 in the first direction L1, and the second return liquid section and the third return liquid section of the first pipe group 20. In this way, the pipes of the cooling device 200 are further concentrated, improving the structural compactness of the cooling device 200.

[0150] In an embodiment, the first power device 40 and the second power device 50 can be arranged in the two sub-regions on the two sides of the support platform 400, respectively. The first liquid storage tank 80 and the second liquid storage tank 90 can be arranged inside the rack of the support platform 400 and arranged side by side and adjacent in the second direction L2. That is, the first liquid storage tank 80 and the second liquid storage tank 90 are located below the heat exchange module 10 to fully utilize the space below the heat exchange module 10, reduce the space occupation of the first liquid storage tank 80 and the second liquid storage tank 90 in the horizontal direction, and further improve the structural compactness of the cooling device 200.

[0151] The first pressure stabilizing tank 60 and the second pressure stabilizing tank 70 can be arranged inside the rack of the support platform 400, fixed in the middle sub-region of the support platform 400, and arranged side by side and adjacent in the second direction L2, thereby further utilizing the space below the heat exchange module 10, improving the structural compactness of the cooling device 200, and reducing the space occupation of the cooling device 200 in the horizontal direction.

[0152] In an embodiment, the top frame 300 comprises a plurality of cross beams and a plurality of longitudinal beams, the plurality of cross beams respectively extend along the first direction L1 and are arranged side by side and spaced apart in the second direction L2, and the plurality of cross beams are fixedly connected with the top of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000. The plurality of longitudinal beams extend along the second direction L2 so as to intersect the cross beams and the longitudinal beams; wherein a plurality of longitudinal beams are fixedly connected between two adjacent cross beams; and the part of the first pipe group 20 is supported by the plurality of longitudinal beams. In this way, the top of the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 is fixed, avoiding the situation that the computing assemblies 1000 shake and collide with each other during the transportation of the data center.

[0153] In addition, by arranging the longitudinal beams intersecting and connected with the cross beams, the stability of the top frame 300 is improved, and at the same time, a support and fixing structure is provided for the part of the first pipe group 20 of the cooling device 200. This not only facilitates the connection between the first pipe group 20 and the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 and the liquid return distribution pipe 140 of the computing assembly 1000, but also eliminates the need for additional fixing structure to fix the first pipe group 20, which is conducive to improving the compactness of the structure and the space utilization.

[0154] In some examples, the longitudinal beams and the cross beams can be fixedly connected by clamping, welding, or the like.

[0155] In other examples, the longitudinal beams and the cross beams can be connected by fasteners, rivets, latches, or the like. Here, the connection mode of the longitudinal beams and the cross beams is only illustrative and is not limited thereto.

[0156] In an embodiment, the first liquid supply sub-pipe 211, the second liquid supply sub-pipe 212, and the first liquid return section 221 of the first pipe group 20 can be supported by the plurality of longitudinal beams of the top frame 300, and the first liquid return section 221 is arranged between the first liquid supply sub-pipe 211 and the second liquid supply sub-pipe 212. In this way, the part of the first pipe group 20 is concentrated on the top frame 300, improving the compactness of the arrangement of the first pipe group 20 and the computing assembly 1000, facilitating the connection between the liquid supply outlet of the first pipe group 20 and the liquid inlet 151 of the liquid inlet distribution pipe 150 of the computing assembly 1000, and facilitating the connection between the liquid return inlet of the first pipe group 20 and the liquid outlet 141 of the liquid return distribution pipe 140 of the computing assembly 1000.

[0157] In one embodiment, the plurality of cross beams include a first beam body and a second beam body, which are fixedly connected to the top of at least one computing assembly 1000. The longitudinal beams include a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is connected between the first beam body and the second beam body, and the second section is located on a side of the second beam body away from the first beam body and extends to the outside of the computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2. The second section provides support for the first liquid supply sub-pipeline 211, the second liquid supply sub-pipeline 212, and the first liquid return section 221 of the first pipeline assembly 20.

[0158] In this embodiment, the second section of the longitudinal beam extends from the top of the computing assembly 1000 to the outside of the computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2, so that the first liquid supply sub-pipeline 211, the second liquid supply sub-pipeline 212 and the first liquid return section 221 supported on the second section 322 are located on the outside of the computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2, rather than directly above the top of the computing assembly 1000, thereby reserving a reasonable position for the layout space of the connecting pipelines between the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150, the return liquid distribution pipeline 140 and the first pipeline group 20 of the computing assembly 1000, thereby facilitating the connection between the pipelines.

[0159] Exemplarily, the projection of the first section of the longitudinal beam in the horizontal plane is within the range of the projection of the computing assembly 1000 in the horizontal plane, and the projection of the second section of the longitudinal beam in the horizontal plane is outside the range of the projection of the computing assembly 1000 in the horizontal plane, that is, the second section as a whole is located on the outside of the computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2, so that the first liquid supply sub-pipeline 211, the second liquid supply sub-pipeline 212 and the first return liquid section 221 supported by the second section are all located on the outside of the computing assembly 1000 in the second direction L2, which facilitates the connection between the liquid inlet distribution pipeline 150, the return liquid distribution pipeline 140 and the first pipeline group 20 of the computing assembly 1000, while allowing the first pipeline group 20 to completely avoid the top of the computing assembly 1000, avoiding the impact on the computing assembly 1000 when the first pipeline group 20 leaks, thereby improving the safety of the data center.

[0160] There can be multiple longitudinal beams, each corresponding to a plurality of computing assemblies 1000. The longitudinal beams are located at the top of the corresponding computing assemblies 1000. That is, each computing assembly 1000 is topped with a longitudinal beam extending along the second direction L2. Correspondingly, the transverse beams connect the multiple computing assemblies 1000. This optimizes the load distribution on the longitudinal beams, avoids localized stress concentration, improves the structural stability and strength of the top frame 300, and ensures stable support for the first pipeline assembly 20. Furthermore, the longitudinal beams and transverse beams are used to limit the top of each computing assembly 1000, improving the stability of the top connection of the multiple computing assemblies 1000.

[0161] The box 700 of the embodiment can include a frame 701 protruding upward on one side of the bottom of the box 700 in the second direction L2, and the support platform 400 is arranged at a distance from the frame 701 on one side adjacent to the frame 701 in the second direction L2 to form a groove for draining liquid, that is, when arranged at the bottom of the box 700, the support platform 400 needs to maintain a certain distance from the frame 701 of the box 700 in the second direction L2 to reserve a channel for liquid drainage, facilitating the timely drainage of liquid.

[0162] The frame 701 can be formed with a plurality of liquid drainage holes 702 spaced apart in the first direction L1, and the liquid in the groove is drained to the outside of the box 700 through the liquid drainage holes 702 to avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the box 700.

[0163] For example, the liquid drainage holes 702 are two. The two liquid drainage holes 702 can jointly form a forklift hole to facilitate the forklift to carry the container.

[0164] In some examples, the shape and size of the box 700 can be set in correspondence with the standard container of the 40-foot specification, and the overall size is 12.192m*2.438m*2.438m. Therefore, after the skid structure formed by integrating the power distribution cabinet 600, the plurality of computing assemblies 1000 and the cooling equipment 200 on the support platform 400 is arranged in the accommodating cavity of the box 700, the data center can be directly packaged and transported by sea or other means such as land transportation, and no secondary assembly is required after transportation is completed, thereby improving the convenience of transportation and delivery.

[0165] The above is only one specific example and does not constitute a limitation of the present application. Those skilled in the art can understand that the shape and size of the box 700 can be arbitrarily set according to actual conditions. In order to facilitate transportation, the shape and size of the box 700 can be set in correspondence with the standard container, for example, the same shape and size as the standard container of the 20-foot, 40-foot or 45-foot specification can be used, but not limited thereto.

[0166] The shape and size of the box 700 can also have other different designs, for example, a compact design can be used to make the internal shape and size of the box 700 close to the shape and size of the skid structure, reducing the excess space and avoiding the movement of the skid structure in the box 700; or a surplus space design can be used to reserve a certain buffer space around the inside of the box 700 to facilitate the placement of fillers or buffer materials to provide additional protection. Here, only examples are given, and the shape and size of the box 700 are not limited to the foregoing examples.
