Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a computer room structure, specifically a modular computer room structure based on C-shaped steel assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, ceiling panels and cable trays for electrical and data cables in data centers typically employ independent support and hanger systems. The construction sequence is as follows: first, install the electrical and mechanical pipelines and ceiling panels above the ceiling, and then install the electrical and data cable trays below the ceiling. The hangers of the cable tray supports below the ceiling need to pass through the ceiling panels and be fixed to the building floor slab at the top of the data center. There is a significant amount of overlapping work involved in the construction of the electrical and mechanical pipelines above the ceiling, the ceiling panels, and the electrical and data cable trays below the ceiling. A rubber decorative ring is installed where the hanger passes through the ceiling panel to provide shock absorption and sealing.

[0003] The existing construction methods described above have the following specific problems:

[0004] 1. When installing the hangers for the power and data cable trays, it is necessary to pass through the ceiling panel. Installers must climb to the upper part of the ceiling to install and fix the hangers, which is considered high-altitude work. When drilling holes in the ceiling panel, both the hanger fixing point and the hole opening point need to be measured simultaneously to ensure that the hanger is vertically downward after installation and that the ceiling panel is not subjected to pressure from the hanger. This requires high precision in measurement. Furthermore, because the ceiling panel obstructs the view of the lower part of the ceiling during construction, the installation speed is slow, efficiency is low, and construction is difficult. Additionally, the swaying generated during later cable laying and maintenance can cause the hole at the contact point between the hanger and the ceiling panel to continuously enlarge, and may even cause the ceiling panel to deform under stress. This will not only compromise the strength of the ceiling panel, but also allow cold air from inside the computer room to enter the upper part of the ceiling through the holes, causing a short circuit and increasing the energy consumption of the computer room.

[0005] 2. During the installation process in the computer room, the installation of electromechanical pipelines on the ceiling, ceiling panels, power and data cable trays under the ceiling, IT equipment, and hot aisle enclosures are all independent of each other. There are a lot of overlapping construction work during the installation process, the coordination process is complicated, and the construction period is relatively long.

[0006] 3. Ceiling panels and power and data cable trays usually use their own independent support and hanger systems, resulting in a low comprehensive utilization rate of steel materials. In addition, the support legs of power and data cable trays are relatively long, causing significant swaying during cable tray construction and cable laying, which leads to low safety. A large number of fixed supports are required, resulting in a large amount of steel materials used.

[0007] 4. The hanging method has poor flexibility. If the computer room is upgraded or the main support cable tray size changes, the original support brackets cannot be used, resulting in a large amount of dismantling and modification work and increasing the cost of upgrades and modifications. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model proposes a C-shaped steel prefabricated modular computer room structure, which aims to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, simplify construction, shorten the construction period, reduce construction costs, and improve safety.

[0009] The technical solution of this utility model is a C-shaped steel prefabricated modular computer room structure, which includes a modular computer room frame, equipment modules, ceiling modules and hot aisle enclosure modules, wherein the modular computer room frame, equipment modules and ceiling modules are all spliced ​​together by C-shaped steel and connectors.

[0010] Preferably, the modular data center frame is supported on the ground. Two or more equipment modules are installed on the ground inside the frame. Each equipment module has a fixed support bracket supporting a first power and data cable tray. A hot aisle enclosure module is installed between the fixed supports of adjacent equipment modules. A main aisle is formed between the two ends of each equipment module and the inside of the frame. A cold aisle is formed between the other two opposite sides of each equipment module and the frame. A ceiling module is installed above the main and cold aisles. A hanging bracket is movably suspended below the ceiling module containing the main aisle, supporting a second power and data cable tray. A heat-insulated prefabricated wall is installed around the perimeter of the modular data center frame. This design allows for rapid assembly and delivery of the data center, enabling the installation of power and data cable trays below the ceiling without penetrating the ceiling panel. The number of IT equipment modules can be freely varied according to different needs. Multiple identical modular data centers can also be combined in parallel, expanding the data center area and improving site utilization by sharing a cold aisle.

[0011] Preferably, both the fixed bracket and the hanging bracket are composed of perforated C-shaped steel and connecting parts.

[0012] Preferably, the equipment module at the lower end of the fixed bracket is provided with an outwardly protruding C-shaped steel crossbeam support, and the hot channel enclosure module is supported on the C-shaped steel crossbeam support between the two equipment modules.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are: Through modular design, it allows for rapid assembly and delivery of data centers while enabling the suspension and installation of electrical wiring channels below the ceiling without penetrating the ceiling panel. The number of IT equipment modules can be freely adjusted according to different needs, and multiple data centers with identical modules can be combined in parallel to expand the data center area and improve site utilization by sharing cold aisles. It can be applied to the data center industry. Specifically,

[0014] 1) The electrical wiring channels below the ceiling can be directly placed on the crossarm of the equipment module or freely suspended using the C-shaped steel of the ceiling module frame. This avoids the need for drilling holes through the ceiling panel, simplifying construction, increasing installation efficiency, ensuring the integrity and airtightness of the ceiling panel, and reducing energy loss of the air conditioning unit. The ceiling module does not require drilling holes in the building floor slab for suspension, reducing dust generation and significantly improving the working environment.

[0015] 2) It enables standardized, modular, and prefabricated rapid on-site assembly of data centers. All electromechanical pipelines above the ceiling can be completed before the modular data center is assembled. Only the corresponding interfaces need to be reserved, which greatly reduces cross-operations and complex coordination processes, saves labor costs, effectively shortens the construction cycle, and reduces the overall cost.

[0016] 3) The ceiling design has been improved, saving the original aluminum ceiling panel keel. The C-shaped steel of the ceiling module frame can also be used to suspend the support brackets for the strong and weak current wire troughs under the ceiling. At the same time, the support legs of the strong and weak current wire troughs are shorter, reducing swaying and improving safety while also greatly saving the amount of steel material used.

[0017] 4) The hangers of the strong and weak current cable trays under the ceiling can be freely changed along the direction of the C-shaped steel. The spacing of the strong and weak current cable tray supports is adjustable, which makes the installation highly flexible and convenient to install and disassemble. They can also be freely converted into fixed supports or seismic supports, and the dismantling and modification of the supports will not damage the ceiling. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and specific implementation methods.

[0027] like Figure 1-7 As shown, a C-shaped steel prefabricated modular computer room structure includes a modular computer room frame 1, equipment modules 2, ceiling modules 3, and hot aisle enclosure modules 4. The modular computer room frame 1, equipment modules 2, and ceiling modules 3 are all assembled from C-shaped steel and connectors. The modular computer room frame 1 is supported on the ground. Two or more equipment modules 2 are installed on the ground inside the modular computer room frame 1. The upper part of the equipment modules 2 is a fixed bracket 23, which supports a first strong and weak current cable tray 21. A hot aisle enclosure module 4 is installed between the fixed brackets 23 of adjacent equipment modules 2. The two ends of the equipment modules 2 and the inner side of the modular computer room frame 1 form a main channel 6. The other two opposite sides of the equipment modules 2 and the inner side of the modular computer room frame 1 form a cold aisle 7. The ceiling modules 3 are installed on the top of the main channel 6 and the cold aisle 7. A hanging bracket 5 is movably hung below the ceiling module 3 where the main channel 6 is located. The hanging bracket 5 supports a second strong and weak current cable tray 51.

[0028] In actual construction, several equipment modules 2 are neatly arranged according to the plan layout, generally in two rows. Each row of equipment modules 2 has a head cabinet at one end. The equipment modules 2 at the lower end of the fixed bracket 23 are equipped with outwardly protruding C-shaped steel crossbeam supports 22. The hot aisle enclosure module 4 is supported on the C-shaped steel crossbeam supports 22 between the two rows of equipment modules 2. Based on the arranged equipment modules 2, the modular machine room frame 1 is assembled. Then, the ceiling module is installed and fixed to the top of the modular machine room frame 1 and the equipment modules 2. Finally, the heat-insulated prefabricated wall is installed around the modular machine room frame 1.

[0029] The number of equipment modules 2 can be freely changed according to different needs. Multiple identical modular computer room structures can also be combined in parallel to expand the data room area and improve site utilization by sharing cold aisles.

[0030] Based on the above structure, compared with the existing data center solutions, by adopting a modular assembly approach, C-shaped steel, ceiling, data cabinets, rack cabinets, and hot aisle enclosures are integrated and assembled to achieve standardization, modularization, and factory prefabrication of the data center.

[0031] This solution utilizes a modular equipment room frame and equipment modules for support and fixation of the ceiling modules, eliminating the need for traditional threaded rod suspension. This reduces the number of cross-construction work above the ceiling and the number of expansion bolts on the building floor slab. By using bolt connections, the ceiling modules do not require drilling holes in the building floor slab for suspension. The modular equipment room assembly process generates no welding fumes or dust, significantly improving the construction working environment and reducing the amount of cleaning work above the ceiling panels.

[0032] It also facilitates the support and hanging of electrical wiring channels under the ceiling. The support rods can be freely changed in position along the C-shaped steel, and the support can be freely converted into fixed supports or seismic supports.

[0033] No aluminum ceiling panel keel is required, allowing for on-site assembly, which significantly saves labor costs, shortens the construction period, and has a relatively low overall cost. Example

[0034] The C-shaped steel used in the modular computer room frame 1, equipment module 2, and ceiling module 3 is prefabricated non-punched C-shaped steel.

The crossarm and legs of the fixed bracket are made of pre-cut perforated C-shaped steel, and the connector is made of plastic wing nuts, vertical two-dimensional connectors and C-shaped steel bases. The hanging bracket is fixed in the C-shaped steel groove of the ceiling module 3 frame.

[0044] Comprehensive layout of power and low voltage cable trays: Each equipment module 2 is equipped with four layers of brackets to place two power cable trays and two process low voltage cable trays. The power cable trays are located above the process low voltage cable trays, and the distance between the power and low voltage cable trays is not less than 200mm.

[0045] The specifications of the above prefabricated modular systems, hanging bracket steel materials, connectors, etc., must be selected based on the load conditions of the specific project and stress calculations to avoid quality and safety accidents caused by the system not meeting the load requirements.
