[0037] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly used in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the accompanying drawings. The terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively. These are relative concepts and may therefore vary depending on their location and usage. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive terms.

[0038] This utility model provides a prefabricated modular framework for a data center, such as... Figures 1 to 7As shown, it includes: a frame body 1, cable assemblies 2 pre-installed on the frame body 1, and conduit assemblies 3 pre-installed on the frame body 1. Cable assemblies 2 and conduit assemblies 3 are pre-installed in the frame body 1 during its fabrication process, forming a modular frame structure. This structure is transported as a whole to the data center construction site and rapidly installed in a modular manner.

[0039] Among them, such as Figure 1 As shown, the frame body 1 includes an upper frame 10 and a lower frame 11 disposed opposite to each other, and a positioning part 111 for installing the frame body 1 in a preset position 7. The upper frame 10 and the lower frame 11 are fixedly connected by a column 12. The side or bottom of the frame body 1 is provided with a mounting hole 110 for detachably mounting casters 5. Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, both the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 11 can be closed rectangular frame structures. There are four columns 12, which are installed one-to-one between the four corresponding corners of the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 11 by welding or bolting. Multiple crossbars 13 are arranged along the length of the rectangular frame. The two ends of the crossbars 13 are welded or bolted to the two side frames of the rectangular frame to increase the structural strength of the main frame 1.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, the positioning part 111 can be a positioning hole. At the preset position 7 where the frame body 1 needs to be installed during data center construction, a positioning pin 70 adapted to the positioning hole is provided. During data center construction, the frame body 1 is quickly installed and positioned by inserting the positioning pin 70 into the positioning hole. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the frame body 1 has mounting holes 110 on its side or bottom for detachably mounting casters 5.

[0041] After the prefabricated modular frame is transported to the data center construction site, casters 5 are installed on the mounting holes 110. The casters 5 allow the prefabricated modular frame body 1 to be pushed to the desired position. Compared to the commonly used method of hoisting the frame body 1 to the desired position in existing technologies, this method is more stable, reliable, and saves time and effort. The mounting casters 5 have rollers at their bottom and mounting rods at their top. The mounting rods pass through the mounting holes 110 and are then secured within the mounting holes 110 via pins. Furthermore, the mounting rods on the upper part of the mounting casters 5 can also be fixedly embedded in the mounting holes 110 after being rotated at a certain angle.

[0042] Furthermore, when the mounting hole 110 is located on the side of the frame body 1, specifically on the side of the lower frame 11 or the side of the column 12, the mounting hole 110 can extend horizontally; when the mounting hole 110 is located at the bottom of the frame body 1, specifically at the bottom of the lower frame 11 or the bottom of the column 12, the mounting hole 110 can extend vertically. When the mounting hole 110 extends horizontally, the mounting rod on the upper part of the caster 5 extends horizontally and is installed into the mounting hole 110 from the opening of the mounting hole 110. The pin passes through the side wall of the mounting hole 110 and the mounting hole 110 to limit the mounting rod within the mounting hole 110, thereby realizing the installation of the caster 5. After the caster 5 is installed on the frame body 1, it is convenient to quickly move the frame body 1 to the installation position.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, the frame body 1 is also provided with a number of uprights 14 that are connected by welding or bolts between the corresponding side frames of the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 11 to increase the structural strength of the frame body 1.

[0044] Through the above structural design, the structural strength and dimensions of the frame body 1 in this application meet the requirements of the international standard container established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee 104, ensuring the structural strength and reliability required for sea transport, and providing effective support for the pre-installed cable assembly 2 and pipe assembly 3 inside, preventing the cable assembly 2 and pipe assembly 3 from being damaged during transportation.

[0045] The cable assembly 2 includes a cable tray 20 for supporting cables, which extends to the end of the frame body 1 to facilitate quick connection with adjacent cable trays 20 within the frame body 1 during subsequent assembly. The cable tray 20 can be installed on the crossbars 13, uprights, or side frames of the frame body 1 during manufacturing by means of welding or bolting. Cables are routed safely and reliably within the frame body 1 via the cable tray 20.

[0046] The pipe assembly 3 includes a pipe 30 and a pipe bracket 31 for fixing the pipe 30. The pipe bracket 31 can be installed on the crossbar 13, upright or frame of the frame body 1 during the manufacturing process of the frame body 1 by welding or bolting. The pipe 30 is locked in the opening of the pipe bracket 31 or bolted to the pipe bracket 31 to ensure that the pipe 30 is stably set in the frame body 1.

[0047] At least a portion of the ends of the pipes 30 extend to the ends of the frame body 1, and when the frame body 1 overlaps, the two opposite pipes 30 are joined together through their respective ends.

[0048] Optionally, the ends of the cable rack 20 and the conduit 30 are located inside the end of the frame body 1 to ensure easy connection between adjacent cable racks 20 and conduits 30 at the data center construction site.

[0049] The prefabricated modular frame for data centers provided in this application embodiment allows for the direct transport of the main frame 1 to the data center construction site via sea freight or other means by pre-installing cable assemblies 2 and pipe assemblies 3 during the manufacturing process of the main frame 1. The structural strength of the main frame 1 meets the requirements for sea freight. At the data center construction site, the main frames 1 only need to be connected to each other, and the pipes 30 in adjacent main frames 1 can be quickly connected through installation joints 300. The cables can then be routed along the cable racks 20 connected in adjacent main frames 1 to quickly and efficiently complete the installation of the electromechanical system. Furthermore, the casters 5 provide rolling support for the main frame 1 during movement, allowing it to move quickly to the desired installation position 7. The positioning part 111 on the main frame 1 can quickly position the main frame 1 at the preset position 7, significantly shortening the project duration. Moreover, the main frame 1, cable assemblies 2, and pipe assemblies 3 are installed with high quality control in the prefabrication plant, thereby improving the quality of the electromechanical facilities after installation.

[0050] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the top of the upper frame 10 is covered with floor tiles 4. The floor tiles 4 are laid on the frame body 1 to facilitate the passage of maintenance or installation personnel on the frame body 1.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, a support frame 41 is mounted on the top of the upper frame 10 via legs 40. Multiple sub-frames are arranged within the support frame 41, and each sub-frame contains a corresponding floor tile 4. During assembly, the support frame 41 is first mounted on the top of the upper frame 10 via legs 40. Then, multiple floor tiles 4 are embedded into the multiple sub-frames to cover the top surface of the support frame 41. The sub-frames can be integrally stamped into the support frame 41.

[0052] The support leg 40 includes a base and a top seat arranged opposite each other, and a vertical rod fixed between the base and the top seat. The base is used to be bolted or welded to the upper frame 10, and the top seat is used to be fixed or bolted to the support frame 41. The support frame 41 is processed into multiple sub-frames, and each sub-frame has a bottom wall that supports the floor tile 4. The design is such that after the floor tile 4 is embedded in the sub-frame, the outer wall of the floor tile 4 fits against the inner wall of the sub-frame, so that the floor tile 4 is stably embedded in the sub-frame under its own weight.

[0053] In an optional embodiment where the frame body 1 is moved, the frame body 1 is provided with a docking part for detachable installation with a driving device. The driving device is used to drive the frame body 1 to the preset position 7. The driving device includes a powered air cushion vehicle, a powered trailer, a powered trolley, or a powered forklift. The docking part can be a snap-fit ​​hole, a snap-fit ​​groove, or a mounting surface that contacts the driving device on the lower frame 11. The driving device is provided with snap-fit ​​structures such as snap hooks that are detachably installed in the snap-fit ​​holes or snap-fit ​​grooves, or a part that contacts the mounting surface. The driving device drives the frame body 1 by applying force to the mounting surface. When the frame body 1 is transported to the data center construction site, the snap-fit ​​structure of the driving device is snapped onto the snap-fit ​​part, and then the driving device moves toward the preset position 7. The frame body 1 moves accordingly to the preset position 7 for rapid installation under the rolling support of the casters 5.

[0054] As an optional implementation method for data center construction sites, the ground on which the driving equipment moves needs to have a certain degree of hardness and be relatively flat, which is more conducive to the movement of driving equipment, especially powered air cushion vehicles.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the cable rack 20 includes at least one of a cable trough 22 and a cable ladder 21. The cable trough 22 includes a first trough plate 220 and a second trough plate 221 arranged opposite to each other, and a third trough plate 222 connected between the first trough plate 220 and the second trough plate 221 to define a space for supporting cables. The cable ladder 21 includes a first ladder plate 210 and a second ladder plate 211 arranged opposite to each other, and a plurality of ladder rods 212 arranged along the length direction of the first ladder plate 210 and the second ladder plate 211 to define a space for supporting cables. Depending on the cable routing requirements of the frame body 1, either the cable trough 22 or the cable ladder 21 can be selectively provided. The cable trough 22 is used to install smaller low-voltage cables or optical fibers, which can provide protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable ladder 21 is used to install high-voltage cables. The cable ladder 21 has a large cross-section and many openings, which facilitates heat dissipation of the high-voltage cables.

[0056] As an optional embodiment, the pipe rack 31 includes a positioning plate 310 fixed to the frame body 1, and a positioning hole 311 is provided on the support plate, through which the pipe 30 is fixedly passed. Figure 11As shown in this embodiment, the positioning plate 310 is vertically arranged and consists of a detachably connected bottom plate and a top plate. The bottom of the bottom plate is installed on the frame body 1 by welding or bolting, and the top has a concave first arc-shaped surface. The bottom of the top plate has a second arc-shaped surface that matches the first arc-shaped surface. When the pipe 30 abuts against the top of the first arc-shaped surface, the top plate abuts against the top of the pipe 30 through the second arc-shaped surface to form a positioning hole 311. Then, the top plate and the bottom plate are connected by bolts or clamps to position the pipe 30.

[0057] As an optional embodiment, such as Figures 8 to 9 As shown, the pipe end is provided with an installation joint 300, which includes a flange or other mating structure installed on the end of the pipe 30. After the two frame bodies 1 are installed, the two pipes 30 that are to be connected can be quickly connected and installed through their respective flanges or other mating structures. When there is a distance between the two pipes 30, a section of pipe with a flange is added between the two pipes 30 according to the distance between them. Other mating structures can be selected such as clamp-type quick couplings, compression fitting quick couplings, self-locking quick couplings, etc.

[0058] As an optional embodiment, the end or side of the frame body 1 is provided with a connecting component, which includes at least one of a bolt component, a riveting component, and a snap-fit ​​component. The connecting component is used to connect external parts or other frame bodies 1. By using a bolt component, a riveting component, or a snap-fit ​​component, the installation of adjacent frame bodies 1 after docking can be quickly completed on the data center construction site, or the frame body 1 can be quickly installed with external parts such as walls, positioning columns, and positioning plates 310 on the installation site.

[0059] Taking the bolt assembly as an example, the frame body 1 has mounting holes 110 at its end or side. At the installation site, after the adjacent frame bodies 1 are connected (end to end, end to side, or side to side), the two mounting holes 110 are aligned, and the bolts are tightened by nuts after passing through.

[0060] Taking the riveting component as an example, the end or side of the frame body 1 is provided with riveting holes. At the installation site, after the adjacent frame bodies 1 are connected (end to end, end to side, or side to side), the two riveting holes are aligned and fastened with rivets.

[0061] Taking the connecting component as a snap-fit ​​component as an example, the end of the frame body 1 is provided with a snap fastener, and the adjacent frame body 1 is provided with a snap fastener interface. After the two frame bodies 1 are connected, the snap fastener is snapped into the snap fastener interface.

[0062] As an optional embodiment, such as Figures 3 to 7 As shown, the lower frame 11 has threaded holes and a leveling assembly. The leveling assembly includes an adjusting bolt 6 that is adjustable and mounted in the threaded hole. The bottom of the adjusting bolt 6 has an abutment surface, and a locking nut is screwed onto the part of the adjusting bolt 6 above the threaded hole. At the installation site, the adjusting bolt 6 serves to adjust the level of the frame body 1. The leveling assembly is preferably located at the four corners of the lower frame 11, and the abutment surface is used to abut against the ground at the data center construction site. The height of the corner where the adjusting bolt 6 is installed is adjusted by rotating the adjusting bolt 6 until the entire frame body 1 is in a level state. Then, the locking nut is tightened onto the adjusting bolt 6.
