[0044] Embodiment

[0045] With the rapid development of mobile data, cloud computing, and big data services, data center construction is becoming increasingly large-scale, with higher density of single server racks. This leads to a continuous increase in the heat generated by server chips. Traditional air-cooling methods, with their high power consumption, are increasingly unable to meet the heat dissipation needs of IT equipment, making energy conservation in data centers increasingly urgent. Cooling data centers with seawater can significantly reduce the demand for freshwater during normal operation, conserving freshwater resources and lowering data center operating costs.

[0046] Current underwater data centers require not only a basic framework in the vertical direction but also a hull support structure. A water treatment system is typically installed on top of the hull. This increases the overall height by 3-4 meters beyond the data hull itself. This increased height significantly increases the stress on the module under horizontal loads such as wind, waves, and currents. Furthermore, the protruding structure is easily struck by falling objects or dragged by fishing nets. This problem is particularly pronounced in shallow waters, where excessive height can even obstruct the passage of fishing vessels.

[0047] Therefore, this embodiment provides a shallow underwater data center, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a bottom support frame 1, a data compartment 2, a filter 3, and a protective cover 4.

[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the data compartment 2 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the bottom support frame 1 by welding. The water treatment system includes several filters 3, which are located on both sides of the data compartment 2, and the height of the filters 3 is lower than the height of the data compartment 2. The bottom support frame 1 and the data compartment 2 are designed as an integral part, sharing the same lifting lugs on both sides.

[0049] To reduce the overall height of the shallow-water underwater data center, this embodiment arranges several filters 3 on both sides of the data compartment 2, with the filter 3 positioned at a height lower than the data compartment 2, thus making full use of the space on both sides of the data compartment 2. Compared to traditional underwater data centers, the shallow-water underwater data center provided in this embodiment avoids the increase in height caused by the installation of a water treatment system. By reducing the height, the structure is made more compact to reduce the cross-sectional area, and the stress on the modules under wind, wave, and current loads is reduced, making it more stable underwater.

[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the water inlet and outlet direction of filter 3 is along the length of data compartment 2, and the height of filter 3 is higher than the height of bottom support frame 1. By setting the height of filter 3 higher than the height of bottom support frame 1, filter 3 is kept at a certain height above the ground, preventing the intake of sediment from the bottom of the water.

[0051] In this embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, the water treatment system further comprises a protective cover 4, the filter 3 is arranged on the protective cover 4, and the protective cover 4 is connected with the bottom support frame 1.

[0052] By arranging the protective cover 4, the remaining existing components of the water treatment system are placed inside the protective cover 4, and the components are prevented from being exposed, so as to prevent the protruding structure from being easily impacted by falling objects or dragged by fishing nets.

[0053] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The bottom side of the protective cover 4 is provided with a cavity, the protective cover 4 is arranged on the data cabin 2 through the cavity cover, and the height of the protective cover 4 is consistent with the overall height of the data cabin 2.

As shown in Figure 3 The height of the protective cover 4 is consistent with the overall height of the data cabin 2, so that the height of the shallow water underwater data center is the height of the data cabin 2, so as to reduce the height of the shallow water underwater data center as much as possible.

[0055] Specifically, in the embodiment, the circumferential side of the data cabin 2 is provided with a plurality of annular protrusions, and the protective cover 4 is arranged at the middle part of the data cabin 2. As shown in Figure 3 The side view of the shallow water underwater data center is shown in the figure, and it can be seen from the figure that the height of the protective cover 4 is consistent with the height of the annular protrusion on the data cabin 2.

[0056] In the embodiment, the data cabin 2 is in the shape of a cylinder, and the two end parts of the data cabin 2 are provided with smooth protruding surfaces. By arranging the data cabin 2 in the shape of a cylinder and providing the two end parts of the data cabin 2 with smooth protruding surfaces, the protruding structure of the shallow water underwater data center is reduced, and the probability of being dragged by fishing nets is reduced.

[0057] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The bottom support frame 1 comprises two support rods 11 and two connecting rods 12. The two support rods 11 are arranged along the length direction of the data cabin 2, the two connecting rods 12 are connected with the two support rods 11, and the two connecting rods 12 and the two support rods 11 form a frame structure.

[0058] In use, as shown in Figure 1 The data cabin 2 is connected on the upper side of the two connecting rods 12, and the bottom of the protective cover 4 is connected on the two support rods 11. Specifically, the bottom of the protective cover 4 is provided with an abutting groove which is adapted to abut with the support rod 11.

[0059] In the embodiment, the support rod 11 is cylindrical, and the support rod 11 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion at both ends. In the embodiment, the support rod 11 is cylindrical, and the support rod 11 is provided with a hemispherical protrusion at both ends, so as to reduce the protruding structure of the shallow underwater data center, and reduce the probability of being dragged by the fishing net.

[0060] In the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The support rod 11 and the connecting rod 12 are further provided with a plurality of reinforcing rods 13. Specifically, one reinforcing rod 13 is arranged at the connecting position of the support rod 11 and the connecting rod 12, so as to improve the strength of the bottom support frame 1, and the two ends of the support rod 11 are locally reinforced.

[0061] The shallow underwater data center provided by the embodiment can effectively reduce the height without being buried under the mud surface, is suitable for shallower water depth, reduces the requirement for water depth, and effectively prevents dragging.

[0062] In the embodiment, the bottom support frame 1 also serves as a base of the data cabin, a hoisting frame for hoisting, and other ballast functions. All the circular tube cavities in the bottom support frame 1 can be filled with ballast. The ballast is filled before the data cabin is launched.

[0063] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, and are not limitation to the embodiments. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made on the basis of the above description. Here, all the embodiments are not required to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
