Detailed Implementation

[0046] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in many forms and should not be construed as limited to the examples set forth herein; rather, they are provided so that the description of this application will be more complete and fully convey the concept of the exemplary embodiments to those skilled in the art.

[0047] In the description of this utility model, all the connection relationships mentioned do not refer to direct connection of components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other.

[0048] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as setting, installing, and connecting should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0049] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0050] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than", "less than", "exceeding" etc. are understood to exclude the number itself, and "above", "below", "within" etc. are understood to include the number itself.

[0051] This utility model provides a data center that offers ample storage space for servers, used for storing, processing, and backing up various types of data. As a key node in the Internet and internal networks, the data center serves as a hub for information exchange and transmission, ensuring rapid information flow and is a core facility supporting information flow and processing in modern society.

[0052] The data center comprises multiple modules for data center use. In this application, each module for data center use includes at least two equipment units 1, connectors 2, and at least one locking component 3. Each equipment unit 1 is used for pre-assembling equipment. The prefabricated equipment units 1 are stacked vertically, and the connectors 2 are used to align the equipment units 1, while the locking components 3 are used to lock the equipment units 1 together. Under the action of the connectors 2 and the locking components 3, the multiple equipment units 1 complete modular assembly to form a single-layer module, reducing on-site assembly construction time and labor costs, and achieving rapid installation.

[0053] It should be noted that the connection structure of this application is also applicable to the case of three or more device units 1 stacked vertically.

[0054] Among them, equipment unit 1 is a building unit or a skid unit. Both building units and skid units are modular units that can be pre-designed, manufactured, tested, and quickly deployed on site.

[0055] When equipment unit 1 is a building unit, the modules assembled by vertically stacking equipment unit 1 can serve as building modules, and multiple building modules can be directly used as a building after assembly.

[0056] A skid unit is a prefabricated building block for a data center. When equipment unit 1 is a skid unit, the data center also includes a building structure. The interior of the building structure has installation space to accommodate multiple modules for the data center. In practice, multiple modules for the data center can be arranged by stacking multiple layers or by laying them horizontally.

[0057] Furthermore, by directly stacking and assembling multiple equipment units 1 within the building structure, the secondary impact of the construction process on the building structure is reduced. Moreover, the building structure can provide rain protection for the equipment units 1, reducing the risk of water leakage in the data center. Simultaneously, the multiple equipment units 1 do not require waterproofing or function as part of the building structure, reducing the precision required for installation and reserving installation space. For ease of description, the vertical direction in this article refers to the up-down direction shown in the diagram.

[0058] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the module used in a data center is shown, including two equipment units 1, one above the other. Figure 8 A partial structural diagram of a data center in another embodiment is shown. Figure 9 The structure of a module for a data center is shown in another embodiment.

[0059] The module for the data center comprises multiple device units 1, which are stacked vertically. Each device unit 1 is used for pre-assembling equipment.

[0060] In this embodiment, Figure 1 Of the two equipment units 1, one unit 1 is used to house the data cabinet and / or cables, while the other unit 1 can be used to house HVAC equipment and piping. The vertical positions of the two equipment units 1 can be interchanged based on the actual installation environment, equipment connections, and other factors. Furthermore, HVAC equipment, piping, and the data cabinet can also be housed within the same equipment unit 1, and the other equipment unit 1 can be configured with a power distribution unit. Equipment units 1 can be prefabricated; not only can a single equipment unit 1 meet transportation requirements, but multiple assembled equipment units 1 on-site can meet the requirements for modular integration and height.

[0061] Figure 1 In this device, equipment unit 1 includes a frame 11, which includes a plurality of spaced columns 111. Each column 111 extends vertically. Specifically, four columns 111 are spaced circumferentially. The frame 11 also includes a horizontal bar 112 extending horizontally, with its axial ends positioned at two columns 111 respectively.

[0062] Furthermore, the frame 11 of the lower equipment unit 1 includes at least two transversely spaced truss transfer beams 113. Each longitudinal end of the truss transfer beam 113 is connected to a column 111. The truss transfer beam 113 includes an upper chord 1131, a lower chord 1132, and multiple diagonal web members 1133. The upper chord 1131 and lower chord 1132 extend longitudinally and correspond vertically. The multiple diagonal web members 1133 connect between the upper chord 1131 and the lower chord 1132. The upper chord 1131 of the lower equipment unit 1 can abut against the frame 11 of all the upper equipment units 1. The upper chord 1131, lower chord 1132, and diagonal web members 1133 together form a truss structure in a vertical plane.

[0063] Specifically, the axial ends of the upper chord 1131 and the lower chord 1132 are respectively positioned with the two columns 111. The upper chord 1131 is provided with multiple first connecting parts spaced apart along the longitudinal direction, and the lower chord 1132 is provided with multiple second connecting parts spaced apart along the longitudinal direction. A second connecting part is located above the space between two adjacent first connecting parts, and the axial ends of a first web member 1181 are obliquely connected between adjacent first and second connecting parts on the same pair of longitudinal members 119.

[0064] A vertical support connects the upper chord 1131 of the lower equipment unit 1 and the bottom of the frame 11 of the upper equipment unit. The upper chord 1131 of the lower equipment unit abuts against the frame of the upper equipment unit via the vertical support, and the vertical support transfers the vertical load from the bottom of the frame 11 of the upper equipment unit 1 to the truss transfer beam 113 of the lower equipment unit 1. There is at least one vertical support, or two or more spaced longitudinally, forming a support and connection point between the upper and lower equipment units 1.

[0065] The vertical supports and the truss transfer beam 113 work together to share and transfer the load borne by the frame 11 of the upper equipment unit 1, and transfer a portion of the load to the columns 111 of the lower equipment unit 1, until it reaches the ground. This makes the load distribution of the frame 11 more even, increases the load-bearing capacity of the equipment unit 1, and avoids the risk of the upper chord 1131 bending and breaking due to excessive stress in a certain area. The truss transfer beam 113 not only ensures the strength of the lower equipment unit 1, allowing it to act as a transfer beam to transfer vertical loads, but also optimizes the steel usage of the equipment unit 1 and reduces the amount of steel required for the structure.

[0066] Furthermore, a steel plate can be placed between the upper chord 1131 and the longitudinal member 119 of the upper equipment unit 1, or a contact connection can be achieved through a connecting plate 21, welding, or other means to ensure that the load on the upper equipment unit 1 can be smoothly transferred to the lower chord 1132. Additionally, the vertical support can also be part of the upper chord 1131 or the frame 11. It should be noted that the upper chord 1131 and the lower chord 1132 can also be considered as longitudinal members 119 extending longitudinally on the frame 11.

[0067] Furthermore, refer to Figure 8 The truss structure transfer beam 113 also includes multiple vertical web members 1134 connected between the upper chord 1131 and the lower chord 1132. In this embodiment, the top end of one vertical web member 1134 is connected to the position where two diagonal web members 1133 are connected to each other, and the bottom end of the vertical web member 1134 extends vertically and is connected to the lower chord 1132. Specifically, the top end of the vertical web member 1134 is connected to the first connecting part of the upper chord 1131, and the bottom end is vertically connected to the lower chord 1132. The vertical web member 1134 can cooperate with the diagonal web members 1133 to transfer loads and improve the strength of the equipment unit 1. In addition, the position where two diagonal web members 1133 are connected to each other may not have a vertical web member 1134. In fact, the top and bottom ends of the vertical web member 1134 may only be connected between the upper chord 1131 and the lower chord 1132, etc. This embodiment does not limit the specific connection position of the top and bottom ends of the vertical web member 1134.

[0068] In fact, the truss structure transfer beam 113 can be set on one equipment unit 1 or configured on all equipment units 1.

[0069] Figure 8 The structure of the lower equipment unit 1 is shown. The frame 11 of the equipment unit 1 includes four columns 111, four transversely extending crossbars 112, and at least two transversely spaced truss transfer beams 113. The lower equipment unit 1 is a cuboid frame structure formed by the four crossbars 112, two upper chords 1131, two lower chords 1132, and four columns 111 connected at their ends.

[0070] Four horizontal bars 112 are arranged in pairs, one above the other. Two sets of these pairs are spaced longitudinally. Two vertical posts 1135 connect the pairs of horizontal bars 112, spaced laterally. Four truss transfer beams 113 are spaced laterally. The two truss transfer beams 113 at the beginning and end of the truss structure are connected longitudinally to columns 111, while the remaining two are each connected longitudinally to a vertical post 1135. Specifically, the vertical posts 1135 provide connection points for the central truss transfer beams 113. Four truss transfer beams 113 on one equipment unit 1 provide support in the middle of the unit, increasing its strength. In practice, one equipment unit 1 can have two, three, or even more truss transfer beams 113.

[0071] The frame 11 also includes staggered first web members 1181 and second web members 1182. Between two laterally adjacent truss transfer beams 113, the vertical web member 1134 on one truss transfer beam 113 is the first vertical web member 1134, and the vertical web member 1134 on the other truss transfer beam 113 is the second vertical web member 1134. One axial end of the first web member 1181 is connected to the top of the first vertical web member 1134, and the other axial end is connected to the bottom of the second vertical web member 1134. One axial end of the second web member 1182 is connected to the bottom of the first vertical web member 1134, and the other axial end is connected to the top of the second vertical web member 1134. Specifically, the first web member 1181 and the second web member 1182 extend obliquely in the lateral direction, and the connection of the first web member 1181 and the second web member 1182 further improves the strength and stability of the equipment unit 1 and enhances the support effect.

[0072] In fact, the truss transfer beam 113 can be installed on a device unit 1, specifically, it can be installed in the lower device unit 1, or as follows: Figure 9 As shown, the truss transfer beam 113 is installed in the upper equipment unit 1 to support the equipment unit 1 above it. This equipment unit 1 and the equipment unit 1 above it can be within the same module or located between two different modules. In another equipment unit 1 without the truss transfer beam 113, the equipment unit 1 is a rectangular frame structure formed by four columns 111, four longitudinally extending vertical bars 119, and four transversely extending horizontal bars 112. To facilitate transportation and improve stability during transport, steel wire ropes can be cross-connected between the corresponding vertical bars 119 and transverse bars 112 of the equipment unit 1.

[0073] In addition, the truss structure transfer beam 113 can also be configured on all equipment units 1.

[0074] Furthermore, a sealing plate 114 is laid on the bottom surface of the frame 11 of equipment unit 1 to improve the sealing effect on the internal equipment of equipment unit 1. A waterproof plate 115 is laid on the top surface of the frame 11 of equipment unit 1 to reduce water leakage and seepage during transportation and normal use.

[0075] Furthermore, the frame 11 includes multiple mounting plates 116. Mounting plates 116 are provided at both the top and bottom of the column 111. The mounting plates 116 extend horizontally to provide connection positions for vertically stacked equipment units 1, so that adjacent equipment units 1 can be connected and fixed.

[0076] Figure 2 A partial schematic diagram of the mounting plate 116 on the device unit 1 is shown.

[0077] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 116 is provided with positioning holes 117. The positioning holes 117 can be used to position two adjacent equipment units 1, thereby improving the assembly accuracy.

[0078] Specifically, the mounting plate 116 includes a positioning part 1161 and a mounting part 1162. The positioning part 1161 is provided corresponding to the column 111, and a positioning hole 117 is provided on the positioning part 1161. The mounting part 1162 extends beyond the column 111 into the frame 11. The mounting part 1162 extends horizontally beyond the column 111, facilitating the provision of connection positions between equipment units 1.

[0079] Figure 3 An exploded view of the connection between the upper and lower device units 1 is shown. Figure 4 A partial view of the connection between the upper and lower device units 1 is shown.

[0080] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the module for the data center also includes a connector 2, which is positioned between two vertically adjacent device units 1. The connector 2 includes a connecting plate 21, and an upper positioning post 22 and a lower positioning post 23 located at the top and bottom of the connecting plate 21, respectively. The upper positioning post 22 is located at the top of the connecting plate 21 and can pass through the positioning hole 117 of the upper device unit 1. The lower positioning post 23 is located at the bottom of the connecting plate 21 and can pass through the positioning hole 117 of the lower device unit 1, thereby achieving positioning between the upper and lower device units 1, reducing misalignment between them, facilitating subsequent connections, and ensuring the positioning between the upper and lower device units 1 even if the locking component 3 fails, thus improving safety.

[0081] Specifically, the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 can be fixed to the connecting plate 21 by welding or other means. The upper positioning post 22 can be inserted into the positioning part 1161 of the upper mounting plate 116, and the lower positioning post 23 can be inserted into the positioning part 1161 of the lower mounting plate 116.

[0082] Furthermore, the horizontal width of at least one of the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 tapers towards the direction away from the connecting plate 21. In this embodiment, the ends of both the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 that are away from the connecting plate 21 are tapered, which can serve as a guide to facilitate insertion into the positioning hole 117 of the corresponding device unit 1, thus facilitating installation. Alternatively, only the upper positioning post 22 or only the lower positioning post 23 may have a tapered structure.

[0083] At least one of the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 is a tubular structure. In some embodiments, the upper positioning post 22 and / or the lower positioning post 23 are tubular structures that are open at both ends, which facilitates welding them onto the connecting plate 21. In addition, the end of the tubular upper positioning post 22 and / or the lower positioning post 23 away from the connecting plate 21 may also be provided with a tapered tube, and the horizontal width of the tapered tube gradually narrows in the direction away from the connecting plate 21, serving a guiding function.

[0084] At least one of the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 is a plate-like structure with at least two plates intersecting. In some embodiments, the upper positioning post 22 and / or the lower positioning post 23 are formed by two plates intersecting to create a vertically extending column-like structure. Furthermore, the horizontal length of the plates tapers away from the connecting plate 21, serving a guiding function. In other embodiments, the upper positioning post 22 and / or the lower positioning post 23 may also be formed by three or more plates intersecting each other, or by one plate intersecting at least two other plates simultaneously. It should be noted that the shapes and structures of the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 may be identical or different, and their positions may be symmetrical or staggered.

[0085] Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, a connecting plate 21 connects the upper and lower device units 1. Further, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 A connecting plate 21 can correspond to multiple horizontally adjacent equipment units 1, thereby realizing the connection between these multiple horizontally adjacent equipment units 1. The connecting plate 21 can connect horizontally adjacent equipment units 1, enabling simultaneous positioning and connection fixation between horizontally adjacent equipment units 1 and vertically adjacent equipment units 1, completing the assembly of multiple equipment units 1. Specifically, the connecting plate 21 can be provided with multiple upper positioning posts 22 and multiple lower positioning posts 23, each corresponding to a column 111 of multiple equipment units 1, such as... Figure 6and Figure 7 In the connecting plate 21 shown, four upper positioning posts 22 are provided on the top surface at intervals corresponding to the positions of the columns 111 of the four equipment units 1, and four lower positioning posts 23 are provided on the bottom surface. Each column 111 of one equipment unit 1 is installed at the position of one positioning post, allowing the connecting plate 21 to assemble four equipment units 1 horizontally, and to position and assemble eight equipment units 1 vertically. Alternatively, a connecting plate 21 can also have two upper positioning posts 22 on the top surface corresponding to the positions of the columns 111 of two equipment units 1, and two lower positioning posts 23 on the bottom surface, allowing the connecting plate 21 to position and assemble four equipment units 1 vertically. Similarly, a connecting plate 21 can also be used to position and assemble six equipment units 1.

[0086] Furthermore, the positioning part 1161 and the mounting part 1162 can be connected sequentially along the transverse direction of the frame 11 or sequentially along the longitudinal direction of the frame 11. In other embodiments, the two mounting parts 1162 may be respectively disposed on a positioning part 1161 and extend along the transverse and longitudinal directions of the frame 11 to form an L-shaped structure.

[0087] The top surface of the connecting plate 21 may have one or more upper positioning posts 22 corresponding to the column 111 of one equipment unit 1, and the bottom surface of the connecting plate 21 may have one or more lower positioning posts 23 corresponding to the column 111 of one equipment unit 1, depending on factors such as installation space, installation stability, and installation cost. The mounting plate 116, or even the positioning part 1161 of the mounting plate 116, may have a certain thickness to ensure that the upper positioning posts 22 and lower positioning posts 23 can be stably positioned after passing through the positioning holes 117.

[0088] In a specific embodiment, the column 111 has a top opening 122 and a bottom opening 122. Both axial ends of the column 111 are provided with receiving spaces 1111 communicating with the top and bottom openings 122. The receiving spaces 1111 can be used to accommodate positioning posts, so that the upper positioning post 22 and the lower positioning post 23 can extend into the column 111 after passing through the positioning hole 117. Alternatively, the column 111 can also be vertically hollow inside.

[0089] The module for the data center also includes a locking component 3, which is configured to connect and lock the mounting plate 116 at the bottom of the upper device unit 1, the connecting plate 21, and the mounting plate 116 at the top of the lower device unit 1. The connecting component 2 positions the upper and lower device units 1, and the locking component 3 locks the upper and lower device units 1 together, improving the assembly stability of the device units 1.

[0090] In this embodiment, two locking members 3 are connected to a connecting plate 21. The two locking members 3 are spaced apart to further improve the connection stability between the upper and lower device units 1. In addition, the connecting plate 21 may have only one locking member 3 or multiple locking members 3, depending on the required connection strength and connection stability of the device unit 1. This embodiment does not specifically limit the number and position layout of the locking members 3 on the connecting plate 21.

[0091] Specifically, the locking component 3 includes a bolt 31 and two washers. The two washers are respectively fitted to the opposite end faces of the two mounting plates 116. The bolt 31 passes through the two washers, the two mounting plates 116, and the connecting plate 21 and is locked in place by a nut thread. The locking component 3 enables a detachable connection between the upper and lower equipment units 1.

[0092] In fact, the mounting plate 116 has through holes 123 at the connection positions of the bolts 31. The locking member 3 is connected between the mounting parts 1162 of the upper and lower mounting plates 116.

[0093] Figures 2 to 5 In this device unit 1, multiple reinforcing members 12 are also included. Each column 111 and the mounting portion 1162 of the mounting plate 116 are provided with a reinforcing member 12. The mounting plate 116 needs to bear the force of the horizontal bar 112 or the vertical bar 119. The reinforcing member 12 connects the column 111 and the mounting portion 1162, which can improve the connection strength of the mounting plate 116 and reduce the deformation and breakage of the mounting portion 1162 of the mounting plate 116.

[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, the reinforcing member 12 includes a surrounding plate 121. The surrounding plate 121, the side wall of the column 111, and the mounting portion 1162 form a rectangular structure, providing support and connection for the mounting portion 1162. Specifically, the surrounding plate 121 includes at least three side plates, which, together with the side wall of the column 111 and the end face of the mounting portion 1162 of the mounting plate 116, form a box-shaped rectangular structure. Furthermore, the reinforcing member 12 may also be one or more reinforcing ribs, etc.

[0095] In this embodiment, the side plate of the enclosure 121 is provided along the outer periphery of the mounting portion 1162, so that the enclosure 121 is flush with or nearly flush with the outer periphery of the mounting portion 1162.

[0096] Furthermore, the reinforcing member 12 is disposed on the transverse sidewall of the column 111 or on the longitudinal sidewall of the column 111, and the horizontal bar 112 or the vertical bar 119 of the frame 11 is connected to the two reinforcing members 12. Specifically, when the reinforcing member 12 is disposed on the transverse sidewall of the column 111, the two ends of the horizontal bar 112 of the frame 11 are connected between the reinforcing members 12 on the two columns 111, and the two ends of the vertical bar 119 of the frame 11 are directly connected to the two columns 111. When the reinforcing member 12 is disposed on the longitudinal sidewall of the column 111, the two ends of the vertical bar 119 of the frame 11 are connected between the reinforcing members 12 on the two columns 111, and the horizontal bar 112 of the frame 11 is directly connected to the two columns 111.

[0097] Furthermore, the rectangular structure has at least one opening 122 at the enclosure panel 121. The locking element 3 is located within the rectangular structure. This allows workers to adjust the locking element 3 to lock or remove the equipment unit 1 through the opening 122 on the enclosure panel 121. In practice, the opening 122 on the enclosure panel 121 can be a clearance opening on the side panel, or the enclosure panel 121 can consist of only three side panels, forming a rectangular structure with only five sides between the column 111 and the mounting plate 116, thus giving the rectangular structure an opening 122.

[0098] Figure 5 As shown, the opening 122 of the rectangular structure faces the mounting part 1162 vertically, and the side wall of the enclosure 121 faces the column 111, connecting to the crossbar 112. The crossbar 112 is connected to the side plate of the enclosure 121 opposite to the column 111, allowing the operator to adjust the locking member 3 through the opening 122. The opening 122 of the rectangular structure can face vertically or horizontally, allowing the top of the rectangular structure to close, thus increasing the connection strength of the reinforcing member 12.

[0099] A through hole 123 is provided on the side wall where the enclosure 121 connects to the column 111. This facilitates the transportation and hoisting of the equipment unit 1 during sea transport.
