Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data center technology, specifically to a data center with flexible layout. Background Technology
[0002] In order to improve the utilization of space, traditional computer rooms usually use server racks as walls. However, sometimes it may be necessary to reduce the number of server racks due to business adjustments. After reducing the number of server racks, there will be gaps in the walls where the server racks were originally placed, resulting in the loss of cool air in the computer room. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a computer room with a flexible layout. This computer room uses server racks as walls, which can maintain the high efficiency of space utilization and avoid the loss of computer room walls when reducing the number of server racks, thus preventing the loss of cold air from the computer room.
[0004] A flexible layout computer room includes a cooling system that supplies cold air to the computer room for cooling, and server racks that act as walls of the computer room. When the server racks are moved, a gap is left in the corresponding part of the computer room wall. The computer room is equipped with partitions at the locations where the server racks are placed, and the partitions can be erected to block the gaps.
[0005] Furthermore, the partition includes an upper plate and a lower plate, with the upper plate hinged to one edge of the lower plate, and the upper and lower plates can be rotated and folded for storage.
[0006] Furthermore, the lower panel of the partition is hinged to the floor, and the partition can be folded and stored on the floor where the cabinet is placed.
[0007] Furthermore, the partition is provided with a latch for a person to hold and rotate to open the upper and lower panels of the partition.
[0008] Furthermore, it includes a limiting clamp, with the inner and outer clamps located on the inner and outer sides of the computer room, respectively, to clamp the partition together.
[0009] Furthermore, the roof has a storage slot, into which the retaining clip can be retracted.
[0010] Furthermore, a support frame is installed outside the computer room to hold up the partition.
[0011] Furthermore, the support frame includes an upper support section and a lower support section, and the lower support section can be retracted into the upper support section for storage.
[0012] Furthermore, the computer room floor is equipped with slots, and the bottom of the support frame rests against the slots in the floor.
[0013] Furthermore, a support frame is installed outside the computer room to support the partition, and a slot is provided on the floor outside the computer room, with the top of the support frame abutting against the slot of the upper partition.
[0014] The computer room provided by this utility model has a partition at the location of the server rack. After the server rack is moved, the partition can be erected to block the gap in the wall of the computer room, preventing the cold air in the computer room from escaping through the gap in the wall.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 The computer room shown contains multiple server racks 1 for housing servers or other electronic equipment, and a cooling system for supplying cool air to the server racks 1 to lower their temperature. Supporting walls 5 on opposite sides of the computer room support the roof 50, and doors 51 are opened in the supporting walls 5. The server racks 1 are arranged along the remaining two sides of the computer room, serving as the walls on these sides. Cables run through the roof 50 and extend downwards into the server racks, connecting to the servers placed inside. Removing one server rack 1 will leave a gap; a partition 2 is folded down in the floor at the gap and can be opened to... Figure 4 In the folded state, the first edge 221 of the lower panel 22 is closer to the inside of the equipment room, while the second edge 222 is closer to the outside of the equipment room. The first edge 221 of the lower panel 22 is hinged to the floor, and the upper panel 21 is hinged to the second edge 222 of the lower panel 22. See Figure 5 The worker holds the upper panel 21 by its latch 210 and pulls it upwards, causing it to rotate. This rotates the lower panel 22 around its hinge point with the floor until the entire partition 2 rotates and unfolds as shown. Figure 2The vertical position is shown; then open the limiting clip 4 stored in the 50mm storage slot on the roof, as shown. Figure 5 As shown, the inner and outer clamps 41 and 42 of the limiting clamp 4 are located on the inner and outer sides of the machine room, respectively, together clamping the partition 2 to prevent it from tipping over. The inner clamp 41 has a through hole, through which the limiting bolt 40 passes to fix the inner clamp 41 to the upper partition 2. The limiting bolt 40 is located on the inner side of the partition 2 inside the machine room and at a high position to prevent malicious removal by outsiders.
[0023] A support frame 3 is installed outside the computer room to support the partition 2 and prevent it from tilting outward. The support frame 3 includes an upper support section 31 and a lower support section 32. The top of the upper support section 31 rests against the latching groove 210 of the upper partition 2, and the bottom of the lower support section 32 rests against the locking groove 7 of the floor. The upper support section 31 has an inner groove 310, and the groove wall of the inner groove 310 has a fixing hole 311. The lower support section 32 is inserted into the inner groove 310, and it has an alignment hole 320 that aligns with the fixing hole 311 of the upper support section 31. The support frame 3 also includes a locking bolt 33. The locking bolt 33 passes through the fixing hole 311 and is inserted into the alignment hole 320 to lock the upper and lower support sections 31 and 32 together. In this state, the lower support section 32 cannot be withdrawn out of the inner groove 310 or retracted into the inner groove 310. Manually pull out the locking bolt 33 to release the locking of the upper and lower support sections 31 and 32, then the lower support section 32 can be retracted into the inner groove 310 of the upper support section 31 and stored together as a whole.
