Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of prefabricated data center technology, specifically a prefabricated data center. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, data center development has entered a new stage. In particular, rack-level data center applications are increasingly common. A rack-level data center is a standard module for data center construction, integrating IT facilities such as computing, storage, and network resources into a single module, facilitating deployment and expansion. IT servers, power distribution, monitoring, rack air conditioning, and other systems are installed within a rack-level data center, and hot and cold aisles are enclosed. Air conditioning provides a cooling source for the system and cools the heat dissipation equipment. When the cooling system fails, the temperature inside the rack-level data center will rise rapidly, and the inability of the cooling system to start up in a short time will inevitably affect the safe operation of the data center. Multiple axial fans can be installed on the top of the rack to draw natural air into the cold aisle for server and power distribution cooling. However, traditional single-rack racks are integrated structures. Because they need to form independent cold aisles, the depth of a single-rack rack is 100-300mm greater than that of a micro-module rack. Therefore, compared to micro-module racks, single-rack racks are deeply customized racks with poor versatility, requiring manufacturers to have higher inventory and collateral costs, resulting in higher management costs, inventory costs, and higher product development and design costs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical objective of this utility model is to address the above-mentioned shortcomings by providing a prefabricated data center that can solve the problems of cost and versatility of highly customized single racks. It fully utilizes the versatility of standard racks, cold aisle frames, and hot aisle frames to minimize the cost of single racks and single rows of data centers, improve production efficiency, shorten delivery time, and enhance user experience.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0005] A prefabricated data center includes a standard server rack and a cold aisle frame. The standard server rack is equipped with multiple IT servers, power distribution units, storage units, and air conditioning. The cold aisle frame is equipped with an emergency ventilation system.

[0006] The standard cabinet is also equipped with a temperature monitoring device, which is connected to a control device, and the control device is connected to the emergency ventilation system.

[0007] The cold aisle frame is a standard frame, including a frame body, two side panels on both sides of the frame body, and a bottom sealing plate at the bottom of the frame body. An aisle door is installed on the outside of the frame body, and the inside of the frame body is connected and fixed to the standard cabinet. The emergency ventilation system is located at the top of the frame body. The standard cabinet, the side panels, the aisle door, the bottom sealing plate, and the emergency ventilation system at the top together form a cold aisle.

[0008] When the air conditioning is operating normally, it delivers cool air into the cold aisle. The cool air from the cold aisle enters the servers to absorb the heat emitted by the equipment before entering the hot aisle behind it (the hot aisle can be a hot aisle frame or an open area, i.e., the external environment). The return air from the hot aisle is processed by the air conditioning and then sent back into the cold aisle. When the air conditioning fails, the standard rack air conditioning cannot cool the heat dissipation equipment, and the temperature in the cold and hot aisles rises rapidly, posing a risk of electronic equipment failure. At this time, the emergency ventilation system above the cold aisle frame activates, and outside air enters the cold aisle through the emergency ventilation system. After cooling and heating the IT equipment, the hot air is exhausted through the ventilation holes and enters the hot aisle behind it. This improves the emergency efficiency of the data center and enhances its security and reliability.

[0009] Furthermore, the prefabricated data center also includes a hot aisle frame, which is a standard frame including a frame body, two side panels on both sides of the frame body, and a bottom sealing plate at the bottom of the frame body. Aisle doors are installed on the outside of the frame body, and the inside of the frame body is connected and fixed to the standard server racks. The emergency ventilation system is located at the top of the frame body. The standard server racks, the side panels, the aisle glass doors, the bottom sealing plate, and the emergency ventilation system at the top together form a hot aisle.

[0010] Furthermore, the frame of the standard frame is a welded frame.

[0011] Furthermore, the standard frame is equipped with a vertically positioned LED strip, which is fixed at the connection point between the cold / hot aisle frame and the standard cabinet. The LED strip serves to separate the frame side panel from the standard cabinet side panel, minimizing the color difference between them, and its design is aesthetically pleasing.

[0012] Furthermore, the cold aisle frame / hot aisle frame has vertically opened light strip grooves, and the light strips are installed in the light strip grooves by 3M adhesive.

[0013] Furthermore, the top of the frame has an emergency ventilation system mounting slot, through which the emergency ventilation system is fixed to the frame;

[0014] The emergency ventilation system mounting bracket has vertically opened connection holes, and the emergency ventilation system mounting bracket is connected and fixed to the standard cabinet.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom of the frame has a bottom sealing plate mounting slot, and the bottom sealing plate is fixed to the frame through the bottom sealing plate mounting slot;

[0016] The bottom sealing plate mounting slot has horizontally opened connection holes, and the bottom sealing plate mounting slot is bolted and fixed to the standard cabinet, which has high fixing strength and good stability.

[0017] The cold aisle frame and hot aisle frame can be adapted to any standard cabinet, and can be easily installed by simply drilling holes on the front frame of the standard cabinet.

[0018] Furthermore, the passageway door is a glass door.

[0019] Furthermore, the standard cabinet is a single cabinet or a single row of micro-modules;

[0020] Depending on the usage requirements, standard cabinets can be combined with cold aisle frames, standard cabinets with hot aisle frames, or both standard cabinets with cold aisle frames and hot aisle frames.

[0021] Furthermore, based on the standard cabinets and cold aisle frames, a single-row data center can be formed by simply merging the cabinets physically. The cooling source for the single-row data center is a rack-mounted air conditioner or an in-row air conditioner. After merging the cabinets physically, the single-row cold aisle can be connected simply by removing the side panels of the cold aisle frame.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, the prefabricated data center of this invention has the following advantages:

[0023] Cold aisle and hot aisle frames can be adapted to any standard rack. Installation is convenient as long as holes are drilled on-site in the front frame of the standard rack. By taking full advantage of the versatility of standard racks, cold aisle and hot aisle frames, the cost of a single rack and a single row of data centers can be reduced to the greatest extent, production efficiency can be improved, delivery time can be shortened, and user experience can be enhanced.

[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] A prefabricated data center, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a standard server rack 1 and a cold aisle frame 3. The standard server rack 1 houses multiple IT servers, power distribution units, storage units, and air conditioners. The cold aisle frame 3 is equipped with an emergency ventilation system 2-5. A temperature monitoring device is also installed inside the standard server rack 1, and this device is connected to a control device, which in turn is connected to the emergency ventilation system 2-5.

[0033] The cold aisle frame is a standard frame, including a frame body 2-1, two side panels 2-2 located on both sides of the frame body 2-1, a bottom sealing plate 2-3 located at the bottom of the frame body 2-1, an aisle door 2-4 installed on the outer side of the frame body 2-1, and the inner side of the frame body 2-1 connected and fixed to the standard cabinet 1. The emergency ventilation system 2-5 is located at the top of the frame body 2-1. The standard cabinet 1, the side panels 2-2, the aisle door 2-4, the bottom sealing plate 2-3, and the emergency ventilation system 2-5 at the top together form a cold aisle.

[0034] When the air conditioner is operating normally, it sends cold air into the cold aisle. The cold air in the cold aisle enters the server to absorb the heat emitted by the equipment before entering the hot aisle behind it. Figure 1 The hot aisle is open (i.e., exposed to the external environment). The return air from the hot aisle is treated by the air conditioning system and then sent back into the cold aisle. When the air conditioning fails, the standard cabinet air conditioning cannot cool the heat dissipation equipment, and the temperature in the cold aisle rises rapidly, posing a risk of electronic equipment shutdown. At this time, the emergency ventilation system 2-5 above the cold aisle frame 2 activates the emergency supply fans. External air enters the cold aisle through the emergency supply fans, heats up the IT equipment, and then exhausts the hot air through the ventilation holes. This improves the emergency efficiency of the data center and enhances its security and reliability.

[0035] The cold aisle frame is a welded frame.

[0036] The cold aisle frame 2 is equipped with a vertically arranged LED strip 3, which is fixed at the connection between the cold aisle frame 2 and the standard cabinet 1. The LED strip 3 serves to separate the side panel of the frame from the side panel of the standard cabinet, thus minimizing the color difference between the two panels, and the design of the LED strip is aesthetically pleasing. In this embodiment, the cold aisle frame has a vertically formed LED strip groove, and the LED strip is installed in the LED strip groove using 3M adhesive.

[0037] The passage doors 2-4 are glass doors.

[0038] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the frame 2-1 has an emergency ventilation system mounting slot, and the emergency ventilation system 2-5 is fixed to the frame 2-1 through the emergency ventilation system mounting slot;

[0039] The emergency ventilation system mounting bracket has vertically opened connection holes, and the emergency ventilation system mounting bracket is overlapped and fixed to the standard cabinet 1.

[0040] like Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the frame 2-1 has a bottom sealing plate mounting groove, and the bottom sealing plate 2-3 is fixed to the frame 2-1 through the bottom sealing plate mounting groove;

[0041] The bottom sealing plate mounting slot is horizontally provided with connecting holes. The bottom sealing plate mounting slot is bolted to the standard cabinet 1, which has high fixing strength and good stability.

[0042] The cold aisle frame can be adapted to any standard cabinet, and can be easily installed simply by drilling holes on the front frame of the standard cabinet.

[0043] The prefabricated data center may also include a hot aisle frame, which is the same standard frame as the hot aisle frame 2 mentioned above. Depending on the usage requirements, standard cabinets may be combined with cold aisle frames, standard cabinets may be combined with hot aisle frames, or standard cabinets may be combined with both cold aisle frames and hot aisle frames.

[0044] By physically combining standard racks and frames, a rack-level data center can be formed. Multiple single racks can be combined to form a single-row micro-module data center. Single racks use rack-mounted air conditioners, while single-row micro-module data centers can use either rack-mounted or in-row air conditioners. After physical combination, simply removing the side panels of the cold aisle frame allows for the connection of a single row of cold aisles.

[0045] This structure is characterized by its low cost. Compared to highly customized rack-level data centers, the simple physical combination of a channel frame and standard racks results in lower inventory and management costs.

[0046] Through the above specific embodiments, those skilled in the art can easily implement this utility model. However, it should be understood that this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments described above. Based on the disclosed embodiments, those skilled in the art can arbitrarily combine different technical features to achieve different technical solutions.

[0047] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technologies are known to those skilled in the art.
