Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of containers, and in particular to a cable box structure and a data center box. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread application of integrated electrical equipment such as energy storage containers and data center containers in the container industry, the amount of equipment carried within each container is increasing, and the application scenarios are becoming more extensive. Therefore, the layout of equipment inside the container, cable routing, piping design, and even the on-site assembly and rapid deployment of the container all require comprehensive consideration of the internal and external structures of the container from the initial design stage. Taking data center containers as an example, in the current data center construction field, containerized data center containers are widely used due to their modularity and rapid deployment advantages. Containerized data center containers consist of multiple container units, and data transmission and power supply between these containers require a large number of cables; therefore, a reasonable cable routing design is crucial.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown, existing containerized data center boxes are typically placed on foundation 601 during on-site deployment. However, the inventors of this case discovered that in actual application and construction, if the position or size of foundation 601 deviates, the cable outlets of the data center boxes placed on foundation 601 will be partially or completely blocked, making it impossible to smoothly connect cables between the various containers of the containerized data center, thus affecting the overall functionality of the data center.

[0004] To avoid the aforementioned issues, construction workers often need to repeatedly perform hoisting operations and adjust the position of the enclosure multiple times. This not only significantly increases the workload and cost of construction but also prolongs the construction period, reduces efficiency, and causes considerable inconvenience to data center construction.

[0005] Therefore, a wiring box structure and a data center enclosure are needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a wiring box structure and a data center box to effectively avoid interference between the foundation and the wiring channel, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving the construction speed.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a cable box structure for use in containers. The cable box structure is located at the bottom of the container and includes a cable box body.

[0008] The wiring box body has a first opening and a second opening, and a wiring channel is formed inside the wiring box body. One end of the wiring channel corresponds to the first opening, and the other end corresponds to the second opening.

[0009] The first opening and the second opening are offset in the horizontal direction.

[0010] Furthermore, the wiring channel is configured as a Z-shaped structure.

[0011] Furthermore, the first opening is located on the upper surface of the cable tray body, and the vertical distance from the first opening to the second opening is less than the height of the cable tray body, so that a cavity is reserved between the second opening and the lower surface of the cable tray body.

[0012] Furthermore, the wiring box structure also includes: a protective cover plate;

[0013] The protective cover is detachably installed at the second opening to close the second opening.

[0014] Furthermore, the wiring box structure also includes a connecting ear, which is disposed on the inner sidewall of the second opening;

[0015] The connecting lug is provided with a threaded hole for detachable connection of the protective cover plate.

[0016] Furthermore, at least two connecting ears are provided, and the two connecting ears are arranged symmetrically.

[0017] Furthermore, the cable tray body includes a vertical plate, a first side plate having the second opening, and a second side plate;

[0018] Both the first side plate and the second side plate are configured as L-shaped structures and are fixedly installed on the same side of the upright plate;

[0019] Wherein, one end of the first side plate is flush with the upper surface of the second side plate, and a gap is reserved to form the first opening;

[0020] The other end of the first side plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second side plate.

[0021] Furthermore, the first side plate has a bent edge that is fixedly connected to the second side plate;

[0022] The second opening is located on one side of the bent edge, and a recessed structure is formed on the other side of the bent edge, with the lower surface of the recessed structure flush with the bottom end of the second side plate.

[0023] Furthermore, a supporting skirt is provided at the bottom end of the second side plate extending away from the first side plate.

[0024] On the other hand, the present invention also proposes a data center box, including a box body and a cable management box structure as described in the above embodiments;

[0025] The cable tray structure is located at the bottom of the box, and the first opening corresponds to the cable outlet of the box.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0027] By setting up a cable box structure with cable routing channels, and staggering the first and second openings of the cable routing channels in the horizontal direction, the path and position of the cables entering and exiting are changed. This ensures that even if there are construction errors or dimensional deviations in the foundation, the second opening will not be directly opposite the foundation. Consequently, the cable routing channels will not be easily blocked, thus effectively reducing the probability of the cable routing channels being blocked and avoiding interference between the foundation and the cable routing channels. Therefore, there is no need to repeatedly hoist the data center box to adjust its position, thereby simplifying the installation process and improving the construction speed.

[0028] Furthermore, by leaving a cavity between the second opening and the lower surface of the cable tray body, operators can easily perform cable routing operations. At the same time, if the foundation partially obstructs the second opening, the cavity also provides a certain amount of operating space for cable routing, further ensuring the cable routing.

[0039] The cable management box structure and data center enclosure of this utility model will be described in more detail below with reference to the schematic diagrams, which illustrate preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can modify the utility model described herein while still achieving the advantageous effects of this utility model. Therefore, the following description should be understood as being of general knowledge to those skilled in the art and is not intended to limit this utility model.

[0040] Furthermore, based on the teachings of this specification, those skilled in the art can form new technical solutions through cross-combination of different implementation methods without creating technical contradictions. Such variations should all be considered to fall within the protection scope of this patent.

[0041] The present invention will be described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are in a very simplified form and use non-precise proportions, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes a cable tray structure for use in a container. The cable tray structure is located at the bottom of the container and includes a cable tray body 1.

[0044] The wiring box body 1 has a first opening 21 and a second opening 22. A wiring channel 2 is formed inside the wiring box body 1. One end of the wiring channel 2 corresponds to the first opening 21, and the other end corresponds to the second opening 22.

[0045] It should be noted that the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are horizontally offset. By making the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 horizontally offset, when the cable box structure is installed on the base frame of the enclosure 5, the second opening 22 will not face the foundation directly. Correspondingly, the cable routing channel 2 will not be blocked by the foundation. That is, by making the second opening 22 horizontally offset from the foundation, the foundation is avoided, thereby providing protection for the cable pulling operation. It also facilitates the operator to connect the cables of multiple data center boxes in series, avoiding the need to adjust the relative position of the enclosure 5 and the foundation multiple times due to the cable routing channel 2 being blocked. This simplifies the installation process and improves the construction speed.

[0046] In this embodiment, the cable routing channel 2 is configured as a Z-shaped structure, so that the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are misaligned in the horizontal direction, and the cable routing can be further changed. Compared with ordinary straight channels, the Z-shaped cable routing channel 2 makes the cable entry and exit paths more flexible and varied, and has more room for adjustment in both the horizontal and vertical directions, thus effectively improving the convenience of cable connection between data center boxes.

[0047] In a further embodiment, the second opening 22 is further defined to facilitate the operator to pull, inspect or maintain the cable passing through the cable routing channel 2.

[0048] Specifically, the first opening 21 is located on the upper surface of the cable tray body 1, and the vertical distance between the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 is less than the height of the cable tray body 1, so that a cavity is reserved between the second opening 22 and the lower surface of the cable tray body 1, so that the operator can reach into the cavity to pull the cable that passes through the first opening 21 into the cable channel 2, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient operation. At the same time, if the foundation partially obstructs the second opening 22, the existence of the cavity can also provide operating space for cable routing, further ensuring the cable exit.

[0049] In other embodiments, to prevent external dust or debris from entering the data center box through the cable routing channel 2 during the transfer and transportation of the data center box and affecting the data center box, a protective cover 3 is also provided so that the cable routing channel 2 can be closed when no cables need to be passed through.

[0050] Specifically, the wiring box structure also includes a protective cover 3. The protective cover 3 is detachably disposed at the second opening 22 and is used to close the second opening 22.

[0051] It should be noted that in order to meet the cable protrusion requirements, the area of ​​the second opening 22 is usually increased. Consequently, the margin left on the side is relatively limited, which is not conducive to opening connection holes on each side of the second opening 22. The operating space for opening holes is insufficient. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connecting ear 4 is also added for the detachable connection of the protective cover 3, which satisfies the connection requirements of the protective cover 3.

[0052] Specifically, the wiring box structure also includes a connecting ear 4, which is disposed on the inner sidewall of the second opening 22.

[0053] The connecting ear 4 is provided with a threaded hole for the detachable connection of the protective cover 3. Accordingly, when it is necessary to pass the cable through the cable routing channel 2, the protective cover 3 can be separated from the connecting ear 4.

[0054] In this embodiment, at least two connecting ears 4 are provided, and the two connecting ears 4 are symmetrically arranged. The connecting ears 4 extend along the center line of the second opening 22, so as to ensure that the cable outlet requirements are met while also allowing the installation or removal of the protective cover 3.

[0055] In other examples, four connecting ears 4 may be provided, which are arranged in a ring around the inner wall of the second opening 22 for connecting the protective cover 3 to further enhance the stability of the connection of the protective cover 3.

[0056] In other embodiments, a specific wiring box body 1 is proposed to better form a wiring channel 2 in which the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 are staggered in the horizontal direction.

[0057] Specifically, the cable box body 1 includes a vertical plate 11, a first side plate 12 having the second opening 22, and a second side plate 13.

[0058] The first side plate 12 and the second side plate 13 are both L-shaped structures and are fixedly installed on the same side of the upright plate 11.

[0059] It should be noted that one end of the first side plate 12 is flush with the upper surface of the second side plate 13, and a gap is reserved to form the first opening 21.

[0060] Furthermore, the other end of the first side plate 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second side plate 13, so that the first side plate 12, the second side plate 13 and the upright plate 11 together form a chamber structure with a top opening (i.e., the first opening 21).

[0061] The first side plate 12 has a bent edge 121 that is fixedly connected to the second side plate 13.

[0062] The second opening 22 is located on one side of the bent edge 121, and a recessed structure 122 is formed on the other side of the bent edge 121. The lower surface of the recessed structure 122 is flush with the bottom end of the second side plate 13. By forming the recessed structure 122 on the bent edge 121 and making the recessed structure 122 flush with the bottom end of the second side plate 13, it can provide support when installed on the base frame of the housing 5. It also creates a height difference between the second opening 22 and the second side plate 13 to form a cavity, which facilitates maintenance and repair work by operators.

[0063] It should also be noted that, in order to facilitate the installation of the wiring box body 1 at the bottom of the enclosure 5, the second side plate 13 is further defined here.

[0064] Specifically, the bottom end of the second side plate 13 is provided with a supporting skirt 131 extending away from the first side plate 12, for connection with the base frame of the housing 5.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, this second embodiment proposes a data center box based on the first embodiment, including the box body 5 and the cable management box structure described in the first embodiment.

[0067] The cable tray structure is located at the bottom of the housing 5, and the first opening 21 corresponds to the cable outlet of the housing 5.

[0068] In this embodiment, the housing 5 has a base frame, and the cable management box structure is mounted on the base frame.

[0069] The base frame includes a floor and multiple crossbeams arranged in rows, and the crossbeams are I-beam structures.

[0070] Therefore, when installing cable outlets on the base frame, the following two situations exist:

[0071] When the cable routing channel 2 interferes with the crossbeam, the cable box structure can be snapped into the cavity formed by the crossbeam and fixed by welding, so that the first opening 21 corresponds to the notch on the floor.

[0072] When the outlet is located in the space formed between the two crossbeams, it is only necessary to open a notch in the floor to correspond to the first opening 21, and then weld the cable box structure to the lower surface of the floor to form the cable routing channel 2.

[0073] This embodiment uses a cable box structure with cable routing channels 2, and the first opening 21 and the second opening 22 of the cable routing channels 2 are staggered in the horizontal direction to change the path and position of the cables entering and exiting. This eliminates the need to adjust the cable outlet (first opening 21) inside the data center box, thus eliminating the need to adjust the layout of the devices, cables, and conduits inside the data center box. Furthermore, the staggered second opening 22 prevents it from directly facing the foundation in case of construction errors or dimensional deviations. Consequently, the cable routing channels 2 are not obstructed, effectively reducing the probability of obstruction and preventing interference between the foundation and the cable routing channels 2. Therefore, there is no need to repeatedly hoist the data center box to adjust its position, thereby simplifying the installation process and increasing the construction speed. It also eliminates the need to redesign the layout of the devices, cables, and conduits inside the data center box due to foundation obstruction, solving the problems encountered during on-site construction at a lower adjustment cost.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that the components and plates of the wiring box structure in this application can be appropriately reused in the actual construction process, in conjunction with the plates on the container frame, which can reduce the amount of construction work and the number of parts that need to be processed independently.

[0075] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope. Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this utility model and their equivalents, this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
