Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of power technology, and in particular to a power equipment and a data center. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing prevalence and scale of large-scale data centers, regular maintenance is essential. Power equipment, a crucial component of any data center, requires annual load testing to ensure power supply stability and minimize the risk of unforeseen incidents. Typically, load testing involves opening the power equipment cabinet and connecting it to the internal uninterruptible power supply (UPS) via copper busbars. The power supply to the equipment is then tested by connecting the cabinet to the test load. However, the installation and construction of copper busbars are complex and inconvenient, and their large size hinders space and cost savings. Utility Model Content

[0003] This application provides a power equipment and a data center that integrates a test cabinet into the enclosure of the power equipment. During testing, the test cabinet and the test load are connected by cables, thereby simplifying on-site installation time and construction operations, and reducing the cost of the power equipment.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides an electrical device. The electrical device includes a housing, wherein at least one uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and a test cabinet are disposed within the housing. The test cabinet includes an input terminal and an output terminal. The input terminal of the test cabinet is connected to the aforementioned at least one UPS, and the output terminal of the test cabinet is used to connect to a test load via a cable. The housing has an opening and a door, the door being used to open or close the opening. The output terminal is positioned facing the door.

[0005] The power equipment disclosed in this application integrates a test cabinet within a housing, and the housing has a door corresponding to the output end of the test cabinet, allowing cables to be directly inserted into the output end of the test cabinet by opening the door. This structural design allows for factory installation of the test cabinet, simplifying on-site installation time and operations, enabling rapid wiring between the test cabinet and the test load, and reducing the cost of the power equipment. Furthermore, the test cabinet completes the electrical connection to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) within the housing, without occupying external space, thus reducing the space required for the power equipment and increasing its integration level.

[0006] In one implementation, the test cabinet includes a cabinet body, and a frame is provided on the surface of the cabinet body facing the cabinet door. The frame extends toward the cabinet door and connects to an opening. The output end is located within the frame. In this implementation, the test cabinet is provided with a frame extending toward the cabinet door, which serves two purposes: connecting to the cabinet body and preventing rainwater from entering the output end.

[0007] In one implementation, the enclosure specifically includes a top plate and a bottom plate arranged opposite each other, as well as a first side plate and a second side plate arranged opposite each other. The bottom plate, the first side plate, the top plate, and the second side plate are sequentially connected to form the enclosure. The surface of the bottom plate facing the top plate has a slope, with the side of the slope away from the output end inclined towards the bottom of the housing. Therefore, when rainwater enters the enclosure, it can flow out along the slope of the bottom plate, preventing rainwater from entering the output end.

[0008] In one implementation, a seal is provided between the frame and the opening to prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the enclosure from between the enclosure and the test cabinet.

[0009] In one implementation, a rain shield is provided at the top of the opening. When the electrical equipment is subjected to load testing, the cabinet door is opened, and the rain shield blocks the top of the opening, preventing rainwater from entering the cabinet.

[0010] In one implementation, the bottom of the opening is provided with an inclined surface, the side of which is away from the test cabinet tilts towards the bottom of the chamber. Therefore, even if rainwater enters the opening when the cabinet door is open, the rainwater can flow out along the inclined surface of the opening, preventing rainwater from seeping into the interior of the chamber.

[0011] In one implementation, a seal is provided between the frame of the opening and the cabinet door. When the cabinet door is closed, the seal prevents rainwater from entering the cabinet from between the frame of the opening and the cabinet door.

[0012] In one implementation, the distance between the output terminal and the opening is less than or equal to 300 mm. When the cabinet door is opened, the operating distance from the output terminal is within 300 mm, and the space within this operating distance is unobstructed, facilitating wiring.

[0013] In one implementation, the test cabinet and at least one uninterruptible power supply are connected by cables or copper busbars, and the appropriate connection method can be selected according to the internal space and layout of the cabinet.

[0014] Secondly, this application also provides a data center. The data center includes a load and the aforementioned power equipment from the first aspect, with the load electrically connected to a power supply via the power equipment. In the data center of this application, the power equipment integrates a test cabinet, which is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). When performing load testing on the power equipment, the cable connected to the test load can be directly inserted into the output terminal of the test cabinet by opening the cabinet door, thereby simplifying on-site installation time and construction operations, and reducing the cost of the power equipment.

[0015] Thirdly, this application also provides a test cabinet. The test cabinet includes a cabinet body, with a frame on the surface of the cabinet body facing the door. The frame extends towards the door and connects to an opening. An output terminal is located within the frame and is used to connect to a test load via a cable. This test cabinet can be integrated into the enclosure of electrical equipment, with the frame connected to the enclosure. This simplifies on-site installation time and construction operations for electrical equipment and reduces the cost of the electrical equipment. Furthermore, direct connection of the test cabinet and the test load via cable enables rapid wiring.

[0016] In one implementation, the enclosure includes a top plate and a bottom plate arranged opposite each other, as well as a first side plate and a second side plate arranged opposite each other. The bottom plate, the first side plate, the top plate, and the second side plate are connected in sequence to form the enclosure. The surface of the bottom plate facing the top plate has an inclined surface, and the side of the inclined surface away from the output end slopes towards the bottom of the housing. Therefore, when rainwater enters the enclosure, the rainwater can flow out of the enclosure along the inclined surface of the bottom plate, preventing rainwater from entering the output end.

[0050] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] To facilitate understanding of the power equipment and data center provided in the embodiments of this application, their application scenarios are described below. The power equipment of this application can be widely used in data centers, network servers, data storage devices, power plants, wireless communication systems, and other fields to realize the electrical connection between the power supply end and the load end.

[0052] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a data center provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 1 As shown, power equipment 10 can be used in data center 11. In addition to power equipment 10, data center 11 may also include load devices 13 such as computers, storage devices, and cooling equipment. The load devices 13 in data center 11 can be connected to the mains power 12 via power equipment 10, enabling efficient, stable, and safe transmission of electrical energy from the mains power 12 to the load devices 13, thus ensuring the safe and stable operation of the load devices 13. In practical use, to ensure the stability and safety of the power supply to power equipment 10, it is necessary to perform regular load tests on power equipment 10.

[0053] Current testing requires an external test cabinet. The test cabinet is fixed to the outside of the electrical equipment enclosure, and the test cabinet is connected to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) inside the equipment via copper busbars. In actual construction, the copper busbars need to be fixed to the outer wall of the enclosure, which is complex and space-consuming. Furthermore, since load tests can last from several hours to tens of hours, waterproofing is required to ensure the safety of the connection between the electrical equipment and the test cabinet in extreme environments. This increases costs and extends construction time.

[0054] In view of this, this application provides a power equipment and a data center that integrates a test cabinet into the enclosure of the power equipment. During testing, the test cabinet and the test load are connected by cables, thereby simplifying on-site installation time and construction operations, and reducing the cost of the power equipment.

It should be understood that these directional terms are relative concepts, used for relative description and clarification, and can change accordingly depending on the orientation of the structure.

[0059] In the data center 11 of this application, the power equipment 10 integrates a test cabinet, which is connected to the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) within the enclosure of the power equipment 10. When performing load testing on the power equipment 10, one end of a cable can be directly inserted into the output terminal of the test cabinet by opening the cabinet door, and the other end of the cable can be connected to the test load. This enables quick wiring of the test cabinet, simplifying on-site installation time and construction operations, and reducing the cost of the power equipment 10.

[0060] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the power equipment provided in an embodiment of this application. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the power equipment 10 includes a housing 101. At least one uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 102 and a test cabinet 103 are housed within the housing 101. The test cabinet 103 includes an input terminal and an output terminal 104. The input terminal of the test cabinet 103 is connected to the aforementioned UPS 102, and the output terminal 104 of the test cabinet 103 is used to connect to a test load via a cable. The housing 101 has an opening 105 and a door 106, the door 106 being used to open or close the opening 105. The output terminal 104 is positioned facing the door 106.

[0061] In the aforementioned power equipment 10, the container 101 can be a shipping container of different sizes. Thus, the container of the power equipment 10 can accommodate multiple uninterruptible power supplies 102. Furthermore, the container can also contain backup power supplies, distribution cabinets, fire-fighting equipment, cooling equipment, etc.

[0062] The test cabinet 103 is placed inside the enclosure 101. The test cabinet 103 and the uninterruptible power supply 102 can be connected via cables or copper busbars, and the appropriate connection method can be selected according to the internal space and layout of the enclosure 101. In some embodiments, the input terminal of the test cabinet 103 can also be connected to at least one uninterruptible power supply 102 via a power distribution cabinet.

[0063] In the power equipment 10 of this application, a test cabinet 103 is integrated inside the enclosure 101. The test cabinet 103 is pre-installed at the factory, simplifying on-site installation time and operation. The enclosure 101 is equipped with a door 106 corresponding to the output terminal 104 of the test cabinet 103. During load testing, the cable can be directly inserted into the output terminal 104 of the test cabinet 103 after opening the door 106, enabling quick connection between the test cabinet 103 and the test load, further simplifying the connection operation of the test cabinet 103. Furthermore, the test cabinet 103 connects to the uninterruptible power supply 102 within the enclosure 101, without occupying external space, thus reducing the space occupied and manufacturing cost of the power equipment 10, and improving the integration level of the power equipment 10.

[0064] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the test cabinet provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 As shown, the test cabinet 103 includes a cabinet body 107. A frame 108 is provided on the surface of the cabinet body 107 facing the cabinet door 106. The frame 108 extends toward the cabinet door 106 and is connected to the opening 105. The output end 104 is located inside the frame 108. In this embodiment, the test cabinet 103 is provided with a frame 108 extending toward the cabinet door 106. This frame 108 can be used to connect to the cabinet body 101 and can also prevent rainwater from entering the output end 104.

[0065] Figure 4 for Figure 3 Side view of the test cabinet. (As shown) Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the enclosure 108 specifically includes a top plate 109 and a bottom plate 110 arranged opposite each other, and a first side plate 111 and a second side plate 112 arranged opposite each other. The bottom plate 110, the first side plate 111, the top plate 109, and the second side plate 112 are connected in sequence to form the enclosure 108. The surface of the bottom plate 110 facing the top plate 109 is provided with a slope, and the side of the slope away from the output end 104 slopes towards the bottom of the cabinet 101. Therefore, when rainwater enters the enclosure 108, the rainwater can flow out of the enclosure 108 along the slope of the bottom plate 110, preventing rainwater from entering the output end 104. In specific construction, the bottom plate 110 can be a plate of uniform thickness, and the bottom plate 110 is set at an angle during installation. Alternatively, the bottom plate 110 can be a wedge-shaped plate, with the thicker end of the bottom plate 110 connected to the cabinet 107, and the thinner end of the bottom plate 110 facing the cabinet door 106.

[0066] Figure 5 for Figure 2 A partial schematic diagram of electrical equipment. (For example...) Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a first seal 113 is provided between the frame 108 and the opening 105, which can prevent rainwater from entering the interior of the housing 101 from between the housing 101 and the test cabinet 103, so that the waterproof rating between the housing 101 and the test cabinet 103 can be IPX5 or higher.

[0067] like Figure 2 As shown, a rain shield 114 is provided at the top of the opening 105. When the power equipment 10 is subjected to a load test, the cabinet door 106 is opened, and the rain shield 114 blocks the top of the opening 105, preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the cabinet 101.

[0068] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the rain shield and the box body provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 7 for Figure 6 A partial schematic diagram of the central rain guard and the housing. (See attached diagram.) Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the rain shield 114 is specifically fixed to the housing 101, and the connection can be made by bolts, welding, riveting, or bonding. To improve waterproofing, multiple second seals 115 can be provided between the rain shield 114 and the housing 101. The multiple second seals 115 are distributed between the rain shield 114 and the housing 101 to prevent rainwater from entering the housing 101 from between the rain shield 114 and the housing 101.

[0069] Figure 8 for Figure 2 A partial schematic diagram of electrical equipment. (For example...) Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the opening 105 is provided with an inclined surface 1161, which is inclined away from the test cabinet 103 towards the bottom of the box 101. Therefore, even if rainwater enters the opening 105 when the cabinet door 106 is open, the rainwater can flow out along the inclined surface 116 of the opening 105, preventing rainwater from entering the interior of the box 101.

[0070] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a third seal 117 is provided between the frame of the opening 105 and the cabinet door 106. When the cabinet door 106 is closed, the third seal 117 prevents rainwater from entering the enclosure 101 from between the frame of the opening 105 and the cabinet door 106. Thus, the waterproof rating of the enclosure 101 can be IPX5 or higher.

[0071] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the cabinet door and box body provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 As shown, in the above embodiment, the cabinet door 106 can be locked to the box body 101 by the door lock 118. A fourth sealing element 119 is provided between the cabinet door 106 and the box body 101. The fourth sealing element 119 can achieve waterproofing between the cabinet door 118 and the box body 101, preventing rainwater from entering the box body 101 from the gap between the cabinet door 106 and the box body 101.

[0072] In the embodiments of this application, the first seal 113, the second seal 115, the third seal 117 and the fourth seal 119 may be made of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) gaskets.

[0073] In some embodiments, the distance D between the output terminal 104 and the opening 105 is less than or equal to 300 mm. When the cabinet door 106 is opened, the operating distance from the output terminal 104 is within 300 mm, and the space within this operating distance is unobstructed, facilitating wiring.

[0074] The above are merely specific embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
