Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproofing technology for computer rooms, specifically to a waterproofing structure for windows in data center computer rooms. Background Technology

[0002] Data center server rooms typically house a large number of computers and network devices, which have extremely high requirements for their operating environment. If windows leak, water can seep into the server room, causing equipment to become damp, short-circuit, or even damaged. Simultaneously, data center server rooms need to maintain a stable operating environment, including temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. Leaking windows increase humidity inside the server room, not only affecting the normal operation of equipment but also potentially causing mold growth and circuit corrosion. Therefore, waterproofing the windows effectively prevents rainwater penetration, protects the normal operation of the equipment inside the server room, ensures a stable internal environment, and extends the lifespan of the equipment.

[0003] Regarding waterproofing of data centers, please refer to the patent document CN211037972U, which discloses a waterproofing system for a small-scale data center. This system includes a main data center structure with a movable window. The main structure is fixed to a base, and a drainage trough is located at its bottom. A water collection trough is located on the base, connected to the drainage trough via a smart water valve. A first water immersion sensor is installed on one side of the water collection trough, which is connected to a drain outlet. A second water immersion sensor is located at the bottom of the main data center structure. A wind and rain sensor and an alarm are also installed on the main structure. The smart water valve, the first and second water immersion sensors, the smart electric window closer, the wind and rain sensor, and the alarm are all connected to a control box installed inside the main data center structure. The control box is connected to a monitoring terminal. This invention monitors the water accumulation inside and outside the data center structure in real time. When water accumulation is detected, an alarm is issued promptly, and appropriate drainage is initiated, ensuring the normal operation of communication equipment within the data center.

[0004] While the aforementioned equipment can achieve waterproofing of the computer room, it requires the integration of multiple intelligent devices such as sensors, alarms, and smart water valves, resulting in a high overall cost. For large computer rooms with a large footprint, the use of such equipment will increase the overall waterproofing cost. Therefore, it is necessary to redesign a new type of waterproof structure that is low-cost and high-efficiency to ensure the safe and stable operation of the computer room. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a waterproof window structure for data center computer rooms, which has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency, and can provide a guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the computer room.

[0006] To solve the above problems, the waterproof window structure for data center computer rooms provided by this utility model adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A waterproof structure for a window in a data center computer room includes an outer window and a first waterproof component located inside the outer window.

[0009] Furthermore, the outer window has drainage holes, with the inner opening of the drainage hole higher than the outer opening, to facilitate the drainage of water from the water-tight groove to the outside. The drainage holes assist the water-tight groove, improving its drainage efficiency and effectiveness.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the drainage hole is lower than the height of the middle part of the outer window.

[0011] Furthermore, the first waterproofing component includes an angle steel for placement on the windowsill, with the L-shaped opening of the angle steel facing the exterior window, and the lower part of the angle steel filled with structural adhesive to ensure a seal between the angle steel and the windowsill. Angle steel has the advantages of simple structure, wide availability, easy collection, and low cost.

[0012] Furthermore, the second waterproof component includes a light steel keel gypsum board that is fitted to the angle steel arrangement.

[0013] Furthermore, the light steel keel gypsum board is covered with light steel keel rock wool, which is used to fill the light steel keel gypsum board to isolate moisture and provide insulation for the computer room.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner side of the light steel keel gypsum board also has a layer of light steel keel gypsum board to serve as support for the inner facade of the window.

[0015] Furthermore, the portion of the light steel keel gypsum board extending beyond the window sill corrugated steel plate on the inner side is painted with white latex paint to improve the waterproofing between the window and the wall. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that the main concept of this application is to complete the first-level waterproofing by using the water-proof groove 2 between the first waterproof component and the outer window 1. The water in the water-proof groove 2 can be drained through the water outlet channel to complete the initial waterproofing. On this basis, the second waterproof component can further perform secondary waterproofing to remove the water that was not completely removed during the first-level waterproofing. The entire waterproof structure is simple in structure and low in cost while ensuring the waterproofing function. It is particularly suitable for large-volume and large-area computer rooms, and has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency, which can provide a guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the computer room.

[0024] After introducing the basic principles of this utility model, various non-limiting embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Any quantity of elements in the accompanying drawings is for illustrative purposes only and not for limitation, and any naming is for distinction only and has no limiting meaning.

[0025] The principles and spirit of this utility model will be explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments.

[0026] Example 1 of the waterproof window structure for data center computer rooms provided by this utility model:

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a waterproof structure for a data center computer room window mainly includes an outer window 1 and a first waterproof component and a second waterproof component located inside the outer window 1 to achieve secondary waterproofing of the window.

[0028] The first waterproof component is spaced from the outer window 1, forming a water-proof groove 2. The windowsill 8 of the machine room has a water outlet channel that connects to the water-proof groove 2 along its length. The second waterproof component is arranged inside the first waterproof component.

[0029] As an auxiliary component of the water-tight groove 2, the outer window 1 also has a drainage hole 3, with the inner opening of the drainage hole 3 being higher than the outer opening to facilitate the drainage of water from the water-tight groove 2 to the outside. The drainage hole 3 assists the water-tight groove 2, improving its drainage efficiency and effectiveness.

[0030] In a specific configuration, the height of the drain hole 3 is lower than the height of the middle position of the outer window 1. This prevents water from flowing back into the water-resistant groove 2. In other embodiments, the height of the drain hole can also be equal to the height of the middle position of the outer window.

[0031] The first waterproofing component is described below. The first waterproofing component includes an angle steel 4 for placement on the windowsill 8, with the L-shaped opening of the angle steel 4 facing the outer window 1. The lower part of the angle steel 4 is filled with structural adhesive 5 to ensure a tight seal between the angle steel 4 and the windowsill 8. The angle steel 4 has the advantages of simple structure, wide availability, easy collection, and low cost. In other embodiments, the angle steel can also be replaced by a vertical iron plate, with structural adhesive filled on both sides of the bottom of the vertical iron plate.

[0032] Next, the second waterproof component is introduced. The second waterproof component includes a light steel keel gypsum board 6 that is attached to the angle steel 4. The light steel keel gypsum board 6 is covered with light steel keel rock wool 7, which is used to fill the light steel keel gypsum board 6 to provide insulation for the computer room while isolating moisture.

[0033] In addition, the inner side of the light steel keel gypsum board 6 has another layer of light steel keel gypsum board 6 to serve as support for the inner facade of the window. The portion of the inner light steel keel gypsum board 6 that extends beyond the color steel plate of the window sill is painted with white latex paint to improve the waterproofing between the window and the wall.

[0034] The working principle of the waterproof window structure for data center computer rooms provided by this utility model is as follows: the first waterproof component and the water-proof groove 2 between the first waterproof component and the outer window 1 complete the first-level waterproofing. The water in the water-proof groove 2 can be discharged through the water outlet channel to complete the initial waterproofing. On this basis, the second waterproof component can further perform the second-level waterproofing to remove the water that was not completely removed during the first-level waterproofing. The entire waterproof structure is simple in structure and low in cost while ensuring the waterproofing function. It is particularly suitable for computer rooms with large volume and large floor area. It has the advantages of low cost and high efficiency and can provide a guarantee for the safe and stable operation of the computer room.

[0035] In practice, the aforementioned structure has been applied to the supporting facilities of the DC7 phase II project at the Zhongyuan Data Center, which is now in actual use. All data center environments in DC7 are built to the latest standards and highest specifications. However, the air conditioning rooms initially only used a method of preventing the opening of external windows for waterproofing. Considering the risk that rainwater might seep into the data center through the window gaps during the flood season, the aforementioned waterproof structure was adopted. This waterproofing effect is excellent and meets the requirements for use.

[0036] Based on the above description in this specification, those skilled in the art will also understand that the following terms used, such as "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "width," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," are terms indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification. They are only for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not explicitly or implicitly suggest that the device or element involved must have the specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the above-mentioned orientation or positional relationship terms should not be understood or interpreted as limitations on the present invention.

[0037] In addition, in the description of this specification, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three or more, etc., unless otherwise expressly and specifically defined.
