Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cold aisle for a data center computer room, specifically a portal frame pre-cooling aisle structure. Background Technology

[0002] Cold aisles are used to provide space and a suitable working environment for server racks, power supply racks, and other equipment in internet data centers. By isolating the racks from the outside environment, cold aisles reduce heat mixing, improve cooling efficiency, and lower air conditioning operating costs. They are widely used in data centers of various carriers and industry clients. Pre-cooled aisles refer to pre-assembling the cold aisle's framework structure (including the base, front and rear door frames, end doors, prefabricated frames, skylights, etc.). Server racks can then be added in batches according to user needs, achieving flexible and efficient use of server rack resources.

[0003] Traditional pre-cooling channel structure (refer to) Figures 5-8 The main components include a central corridor and bases 11 on both sides. The top surfaces of the bases are covered with anti-static flooring and supported by prefabricated H-shaped frames 12. The H-shaped prefabricated frames in the same column are fixed by crossbeams 13. The area between two adjacent H-shaped prefabricated frames in the same column serves as a prefabricated compartment for server racks. Customers can flexibly add server racks in batches or individually according to user needs. A skylight frame 14 is installed at the top of the corridor to install skylight components. The skylight frame is fixed to the inner columns of the H-shaped prefabricated frames. Movable end doors 15 are provided at both ends of the corridor, forming a complete H-shaped frame prefabricated corridor.

[0004] The main problem with this sun-shaped prefabricated frame channel is:

[0005] 1. The prefabricated frame in the shape of the sun is located between server racks, which will increase the overall length of the aisle, reduce the utilization rate of the racks in the aisle, and reduce the number of server devices to be installed.

[0006] 2. The anti-static floor and server rack are both standard 600mm wide. The added H-shaped prefabricated frame will make it impossible to arrange the anti-static floor and server rack one by one, reducing uniformity and aesthetics.

[0007] 3. The prefabricated frame in the shape of the sun and the skylight frame are installed in sections, resulting in uneven stress and inability to guarantee strength;

[0008] 4. The prefabricated frame in the shape of the sun needs to be installed on the base on both sides of the corridor, and the skylight frame is then installed on the prefabricated frame in the shape of the sun. The installation steps are complicated, difficult and expensive.

[0009] The above problems have become defects in this product and urgently need to be addressed through technical solutions. Utility Model Content

[0010] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings in the above-mentioned background technology and provide a gate-shaped frame pre-cooling channel structure, which should have the characteristics of being compact, having high space utilization, and low cost.

[0011] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0012] A gate-shaped frame pre-cooling passage structure is characterized by comprising a gate-shaped frame serving as a corridor passage, base frames disposed on both sides of the gate-shaped frame, a skylight assembly disposed on the top of the gate-shaped frame, and end door assemblies disposed at both ends of the gate-shaped frame; the gate-shaped frame is fixed to the base frame.

[0013] The portal frame includes a row of portal prefabricated frames arranged along the length of the precooling channel structure, and a prefabricated frame beam that connects the tops of all the portal prefabricated frames.

[0014] The base frame includes a row of prefabricated base frames arranged along the length of the precooling channel structure.

[0015] The gate-shaped frame includes uprights on the left and right sides and two horizontal columns that connect the left and right uprights and are arranged in parallel vertically; the two ends of the horizontal columns are fixed to the uprights by connecting corner blocks.

[0016] The left and right sides of the portal frame are provided with two prefabricated frame beams arranged vertically and horizontally, which are fixed to the columns on the same side of all portal frames by connecting corner blocks.

[0017] The top surface of the base frame is covered with an anti-static floor.

[0018] The column extends downwards through the anti-static floor and is then supported and fixed to the ground.

[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention replaces the traditional H-shaped prefabricated frame set on the base with a portal-shaped prefabricated frame arranged in the corridor passage. The portal-shaped prefabricated frame only needs to be placed in the middle of two rows of server rack prefabrication compartments, saving the server rack prefabrication compartment space occupied by the traditional H-shaped prefabricated frame, reducing the number of prefabricated frames by half, and lowering manufacturing costs, installation time and expenses. The portal-shaped prefabricated frame is constructed with standard profiles, has high overall strength, facilitates standardized design, production and installation, is simple and quick to operate, convenient to maintain, and has high work efficiency. This invention can be widely used in the construction and renovation of cold and hot aisle systems for cloud computing data centers of telecommunications operators such as China Telecom, China Unicom, China Mobile, and China Broadcasting Network, or large customers.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the gate-shaped frame pre-cooling channel structure includes a gate-shaped frame, a base frame, a skylight assembly, and an end door assembly.

[0033] The U-shaped frame is positioned in the middle as a corridor, and the base frame is positioned on the left and right sides of the corridor as server rack pre-installation compartments. The U-shaped frame is fixed to the base frame. The skylight assembly is installed on the top of the U-shaped frame to control the opening and closing of the cold aisle, and the end door assembly is installed at the front and rear ends of the U-shaped frame for personnel entry and exit.

[0034] The base frame includes several prefabricated base frames 3, which are arranged along the length of the cold aisle structure. Figure 1 The prefabricated base frames are arranged in a vertical line, and the top surface of the prefabricated base frames is covered with anti-static flooring (omitted in the figure).

[0035] The portal frame includes several portal prefabricated frames 1, which are arranged along the length of the cold aisle structure. Figure 1 The prefabricated frames are arranged in a vertical direction, with a certain distance between the front and rear door-shaped prefabricated frames. The prefabricated frame beams 2, which are parallel to the length of the cold aisle structure, connect the top of this row of door-shaped prefabricated frames to form a whole.

[0036] like Figure 4 As shown, the portal frame includes two uprights 1-1 and two horizontal support columns 1-2. The uprights are arranged on the left and right sides of the corridor passage, fixed to the sides of the prefabricated base frame. The bottom of the uprights passes downwards through the anti-static floor and is supported and fixed to the ground. The top of the uprights extends upwards to above the server rack prefabricated compartment (higher than the server rack to avoid interference with the skylight when the server rack door is open). The anti-static floor has a notch, through which the uprights pass downwards and are then fixed to the ground by connecting angle irons 1-4 and expansion bolts.

[0037] The column crossbars are arranged parallel to each other vertically and are fixed horizontally between the columns on the left and right sides. The two ends of the column crossbars are fixed to the columns by connecting corner blocks 1-3. The upper column crossbar is fixed to the top of the column, and the lower column crossbar is flush with the top surface of the server rack pre-installed compartment.

[0038] There are four prefabricated frame beams, each located on one side of the U-shaped frame. Two prefabricated frame beams are located on each side of the U-shaped frame. These two beams are arranged parallel to each other vertically and are fixed to the same-side columns of all the U-shaped frames via connecting corner blocks 1-3. The upper prefabricated frame beam is fixed to the top of the column, while the lower prefabricated frame beam is flush with the top surface of the server rack prefabricated compartment.

[0039] The prefabricated frame and its crossbeams are constructed using aluminum alloy profiles, which facilitates standardized design, production, installation, packaging, and transportation.

[0040] The skylight assembly includes a fixed skylight 4-1, a fire-fighting skylight 4-2, a polycarbonate sheet 4-3, and a skylight control device 4-4. The fixed skylight and fire-fighting skylight are horizontally installed on the ceiling of the corridor, typically with fixed skylights installed at the front and rear ends and the fire-fighting skylight installed in the middle. The polycarbonate sheet is vertically installed on the sides of the corridor (between the upper and lower prefabricated frame beams). The skylight control device is used to control the automatic opening and closing of the fire-fighting skylight.

[0041] The end gate assembly includes an end gate frame 5-1 and a movable end gate 5-2.

[0042] In this invention, the prefabricated frame in the shape of a gate is set in the corridor passage, which does not occupy the space of the server rack. The server rack and the anti-static floor can be perfectly matched. Moreover, only one set of prefabricated frames needs to be arranged in the entire corridor passage, which can greatly reduce costs and installation expenses.

[0043] The accompanying drawings illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of the present invention.
