Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet truss system technology, and in particular to a prefabricated cabinet truss system and a computer room structure using the same. Background Technology

[0002] Existing data center server rooms generate significant heat during operation from their equipment and servers. Improper heat dissipation management can lead to overheating, severely impacting server stability and lifespan. Conventional rack cooling designs typically rely on hot aisle / cold aisle layouts. This involves arranging server racks in a specific pattern, with cold aisles allowing cool air to pass through and directly cool the servers, while hot aisles collect the hot air emitted by the servers, cool it again through the air conditioning system, and then recycle it. However, existing rack systems do not use prefabricated frames. This significantly impacts on-site installation progress. Furthermore, non-prefabricated rack systems result in messy cabling and haphazard hot air duct placement during on-site installation, inevitably leading to reduced overall system cooling performance, decreased equipment operating efficiency, and potentially even equipment failure or downtime. Utility Model Content

[0003] The first technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a prefabricated cabinet truss system that is easy to construct, has a reasonable layout, and can effectively dissipate heat, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0004] The second technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a computer room structure that applies the above-mentioned prefabricated cabinet truss system, in view of the current state of the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the first technical problem is as follows: a prefabricated cabinet truss system, comprising: a support frame group for accommodating cabinet groups, the support frame group comprising two side-by-side support frames, the two support frames being spaced apart and forming a hot air channel between them, each support frame comprising a cable tray layer at the top for laying cable lines and a vertically extending support frame for supporting the cable tray layer, the area below the cable tray layer forming a cabinet placement area for accommodating cabinet groups, the top side of the cable tray layer of the support frame and the side facing the hot air channel are provided with partitions, the two ports in the length direction of the hot air channel are closed, and the top opening of the hot air channel forms a hot return air inlet for connecting to an external cold air circulation system.

[0006] To facilitate the sorting and identification of high-voltage and low-voltage cables, the cable tray layer of the support frame has a hollow frame structure, including an upper high-voltage cable tray layer and a lower low-voltage cable tray layer.

[0007] As an improvement, the high-voltage cable tray layer has at least two layers arranged vertically, and the low-voltage cable tray layer has at least two sides arranged vertically.

[0008] To ensure the overall strength of the support frame assembly consisting of two support frames, the ends of the cable tray layers of the two support frames are connected by a connecting frame.

[0009] To facilitate maintenance by operators entering the hot air duct, both ends of the hot air duct along its length are equipped with doors that can be opened and closed.

[0010] To better utilize the space of the supporting frame, the rack group includes multiple racks, which are arranged sequentially along a direction parallel to the length of the hot air duct. Each rack has opposing, vertically extending vents, one of which faces the hot air duct and the other faces away from it.

[0011] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the second technical problem is as follows: a computer room structure, including a suspended ceiling, a cabinet truss system, and a cold air circulation system. The cabinet truss system adopts the above-mentioned prefabricated cabinet truss system. The prefabricated cabinet truss system is located in the area below the suspended ceiling of the computer room. An opening is provided on the suspended ceiling to connect with the hot air return vent. The airflow inlet of the cold air circulation system is connected to the suspended ceiling, and the airflow outlet of the cold air circulation system is connected to the area below the suspended ceiling of the computer room.

[0012] As an improvement, the computer room also includes opposing heat exchange zones. The cold air circulation system includes an air conditioner, which is located within the heat exchange zone. The ceiling is connected to the heat exchange zone via ventilation ducts, and the airflow direction of the air conditioner is directed towards the area below the ceiling of the computer room.

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The support frame assembly includes two side-by-side support frames. The top layer of each support frame is used for laying cables, and the lower layer is used for placing the server rack assembly, thus separating the server racks from the cables. The two support frames are arranged at intervals, forming a hot air channel between them. The top opening of the hot air channel can form a hot return air vent for connecting to an external cold air circulation system. In actual operation, the power distribution system can be connected to the external cold air circulation system. Cold air flows through the equipment in the server rack assembly, carrying away the heat generated by the equipment through the hot return air vent of the hot air channel, achieving effective heat dissipation for the power distribution system. On the other hand, this prefabricated server rack truss system is easy to construct. It only requires delivering the modular support frame assembly to the site, arranging the corresponding server rack equipment in the server rack placement area, laying the cables on the corresponding cable tray layer, and then installing the corresponding partitions. This forms a hot air channel and hot return air vent adapted to the external cold air circulation system. Its layout is reasonable, and on-site installation is convenient and quick, effectively improving the construction progress of the entire data center system. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] In the specification and claims of this utility model, terms indicating direction, such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "side," "top," and "bottom," are used to describe various exemplary structural parts and elements of this utility model. However, the use of these terms is merely for the purpose of explanation and is based on the exemplary orientations shown in the accompanying drawings. Since the embodiments disclosed in this utility model can be arranged in different orientations, these terms indicating direction are for illustrative purposes only and should not be regarded as limitations. For example, "upper" and "lower" are not necessarily limited to directions opposite to or consistent with the direction of gravity.

[0025] Figures 1-9 This invention illustrates a preferred embodiment of a prefabricated cabinet truss system and computer room structure.

[0026] See Figures 1-7 A prefabricated cabinet truss system includes a support frame assembly and a cabinet assembly 1. The support frame assembly includes two side-by-side support frames 2. Each support frame 2 includes a cable tray layer at the top for laying cable lines and a vertically extending support frame 22 for supporting the cable tray layer. The area below the cable tray layer forms a placement area for the cabinet 10 of the cabinet assembly 1. There are two supports 22, located at opposite ends along the length of the cable tray layer. The cable tray layer of the support frame 2 has a hollow frame structure, specifically including an upper high-voltage cable tray layer 201 and a lower low-voltage cable tray layer 202. The high-voltage cable tray layer 201 has at least two layers arranged vertically, and the low-voltage cable tray layer 202 has at least two sides arranged vertically. This layered design of high-voltage and low-voltage cable tray layers facilitates the organization and identification of high-voltage and low-voltage cables by operators.

[0027] The width of the support frame 2 is basically the same as the longitudinal dimension of the cabinet 10 of the corresponding cabinet group 1. The two support frames 2 are arranged at intervals, and a hot air channel 3 is formed between them. Each cabinet 10 has opposite and vertically extending vents, one of which faces the hot air channel 3 and the other faces away from the hot air channel 3.

[0028] The top side of the cable tray layer supporting the frame 2 and the side facing the hot air duct 3 are both provided with partitions 21, wherein... Figure 1 and Figure 7To better illustrate the internal structure of the cable tray layer, the top shelf of the cable tray layer has been omitted. The two ends of the hot air duct 3 along its length are closed; specifically, each end of the hot air duct 3 is equipped with a door 24 that can be opened and closed. The height of the door 24 is approximately the same as the height of the cabinet 10 placement area. A baffle 26 is located above the door 24, and the height of the baffle 26 is approximately the same as the height of the cable tray layer. The baffle 26 and the door 24 together close the ends of the hot air duct 3. The design of the openable door 24 also facilitates access for maintenance personnel to enter the hot air duct 3.

[0029] The ends of the cable tray layers of the two support frames 2 are also connected by a connecting frame 23, wherein a baffle 26 can be attached to the connecting frame 23. After the cable tray layers of the two support frames 2 are connected by the connecting frame 23, the overall strength of the support frame assembly can be effectively guaranteed.

[0030] The top opening of the hot air duct 3 forms a hot return air inlet 31 for connection to an external cold air circulation system. (See also...) Figure 6 The rack group 1 includes multiple racks 10, which are arranged sequentially along a direction parallel to the length of the hot air duct 3. Each rack 10 has opposite, vertically extending vents, one of which faces the hot air duct 3 and the other faces away from the hot air duct 3.

[0031] A distribution box 25 is also provided on one end of the supporting frame 2, and the lighting devices of the power distribution system can be electrically connected to the distribution box 25. For example... Figure 1 As shown, each of the two support frames 2 is equipped with a power distribution box 25, and the two power distribution boxes 25 are located on the left and right sides of the door body 24.

[0032] The support frame group in this embodiment includes two support frames 2 arranged side by side. The top layer of each support frame 2 is used for laying cables, and the lower layer is used for placing the cabinet group 1, so that the cabinet 10 is separated from the cables. The two support frames 2 are arranged at intervals, and a hot air channel 3 is formed between them. The top opening of the hot air channel 3 can form a hot return air inlet 31 for connecting with the external cold air circulation system. In actual operation, the power distribution system can be connected to the external cold air circulation system. The cold air flows through each device in the cabinet group 1, and the heat generated by each device in the cabinet group 1 is carried away from the power distribution system through the hot return air inlet 31 of the hot air channel 3, so as to achieve effective heat dissipation of the power distribution system.

[0033] See Figure 8 and Figure 9This embodiment also relates to a computer room structure, which includes a suspended ceiling 41, a rack truss system, and a cold air circulation system. The rack truss system is a prefabricated rack truss system as described above, located below the suspended ceiling 41. The height of the suspended ceiling 41 from the ground is approximately the same as the overall height of the prefabricated rack truss system. An opening is provided on the suspended ceiling 41 to connect with a hot air return vent 31. The suspended ceiling 41 thus forms a hot air return zone.

[0034] The server room also includes a separate heat exchange area 42, independent of the area containing the server rack truss system. The cold air circulation system includes an air conditioner 5, located within the heat exchange area 42. The area on the server room wall corresponding to the ceiling 41 is connected to the heat exchange area 42 via ventilation ducts 51. The airflow from the air conditioner 5 is directed towards the area below the ceiling 41, thus blowing cool air towards the space containing the server rack truss system. When the air conditioner 5 is turned on, the cool air it blows enters the area containing the server rack truss system. The cool air flows through each device in the server rack group 1, carrying the heat generated by each device away from the power distribution system via the hot air return vent 31 of the hot air duct 3, into the ceiling 41, and then back to the heat exchange area 42 via the ventilation duct 51. This achieves effective heat dissipation for the power distribution system, effectively avoiding safety hazards caused by poor heat dissipation.
