Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet vibration reduction technology, specifically a socket-type multi-directional energy-dissipating vibration reduction cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] In the digital age, data center security is paramount. Data centers host critical enterprise information and business functions; security threats can lead to severe consequences, including data breaches, business disruptions, and even bankruptcy. Data center servers are embedded in rack mounting slots, achieving efficient space utilization. The racks provide rigid support for the servers through a metal frame.

[0003] Earthquakes are a significant external security threat that data centers must face during operation. Inadequate earthquake-resistant measures for server racks can lead to data loss and system failure, seriously impacting financial security and critical areas such as emergency command.

[0004] Data center racks are typically anchored and secured to the ground or walls using methods such as welding and bolting. While these methods prevent displacement under low-magnitude earthquakes, the acceleration response of the equipment increases significantly when the magnitude exceeds 6, leading to component damage and rack deformation or tipping. These traditional methods fail to effectively absorb vibrations and provide reliable protection for servers. The racks and servers are easily damaged by vibration or impact, compromising server functionality and potentially causing functional failures or data link interruptions with long recovery periods. Summary of the Invention

Its inner and outer layers are fixed as a whole by annular connecting ribs, and a deformation gap is reserved between the inner and outer layers to form a buffer space. The cylindrical support legs extend downwards, and their outer walls fit tightly against the inner walls of the rubber sleeve to form a nested connection.

[0010] The connecting sleeve is fixed downward to the bottom surface and sleeved upward on the outer side of the inner layer of the rubber sleeve. The connecting sleeve and the outer layer of the rubber sleeve are relatively fixed by interference fit.

[0011] Optionally, the connecting sleeve involved includes a steel plate base and at least three sleeve bodies, and the number of sleeve bodies, rubber sleeves and cylindrical legs corresponds one-to-one;

[0029] To make the technical solution, the technical problem solved, and the technical effect of this utility model clearer, the technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0030] Example 1:

[0031] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and 2 This embodiment proposes a socket-type multi-directional energy-dissipating and vibration-damping cabinet, the structure of which includes a cabinet body 4, cylindrical legs 3, rubber sleeves 2 and connecting sleeves 1.

[0032] The rack body 4 is a rectangular rack structure with built-in servers. The bottom of the rack body 4 is integrally connected with four vertically arranged cylindrical legs 3.

[0033] The rubber sleeve 2 is a double-layered hollow integral structure with openings at both ends. Its inner layer 21 and outer layer 22 are fixed as a whole by annular connecting ribs, and a deformation gap is reserved between the inner layer 21 and outer layer 22 to form a buffer space. The cylindrical support leg 3 extends downward, and its outer wall is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2 to form a nested connection.

[0034] The connecting sleeve 1 is fixed downward to the bottom surface and sleeved upward on the outer side of the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2. The connecting sleeve 1 and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 are relatively fixed by interference fit.

[0035] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 1 in this embodiment includes a steel plate base 11 and four sleeve bodies 12, and the number of sleeve bodies 12, rubber sleeves 2, and cylindrical support legs 3 corresponds one-to-one. The steel plate base 11 is firmly connected to the ground 6 by a single-sided bolt 5, and the sleeve bodies 12 are fitted upwards on the outside of the rubber sleeves 2, and the sleeve bodies 12 are relatively fixed to the outer wall of the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeves 2.

[0036] To further improve the stability of the connecting sleeve 1: ① The steel plate base 11 is welded and fixed to the sleeve body 12; ② Single-sided bolts 5 are evenly distributed along the edge of the steel plate base 11, with no less than 4 bolts, and the screw axis of the single-sided bolts 5 is perpendicular to the surface of the steel plate base 11, ensuring a firm connection between the steel plate base 11 and the ground 6.

[0037] In addition, the depth of the sleeve body 12 is not less than the length of the cylindrical support leg 3, so as to adapt the height of the cabinet body 4 according to actual needs.

[0038] Specifically, see attached document. Figure 2 In this embodiment, the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2 has a smooth surface, and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 has protrusions 221 and grooves 222. The protrusions 221 and grooves 222 are preferably vertical strips. This structural feature of the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 can improve the tightness of the connection between the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 and the sleeve body 12. Furthermore, it can change the shape of the pre-reserved deformation gap between the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2, thereby improving the vibration damping performance of the cabinet.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] Reference Appendix Figure 1 and 3 This embodiment proposes a socket-type multi-directional energy-dissipating and vibration-damping cabinet, the structure of which includes a cabinet body 4, cylindrical legs 3, rubber sleeves 2 and connecting sleeves 1.

[0041] The rack body 4 is a rectangular rack structure with built-in servers. The bottom of the rack body 4 is integrally connected with four vertically arranged cylindrical legs 3.

[0042] The rubber sleeve 2 is a double-layered hollow integral structure with openings at both ends. Its inner layer 21 and outer layer 22 are fixed as a whole by annular connecting ribs, and a deformation gap is reserved between the inner layer 21 and outer layer 22 to form a buffer space. The cylindrical support leg 3 extends downward, and its outer wall is tightly fitted with the inner wall of the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2 to form a nested connection.

[0043] The connecting sleeve 1 is fixed downward to the bottom surface and sleeved upward on the outer side of the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2. The connecting sleeve 1 and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 are relatively fixed by interference fit.

[0044] Specifically, the connecting sleeve 1 in this embodiment includes a steel plate base 11 and four sleeve bodies 12, and the number of sleeve bodies 12, rubber sleeves 2, and cylindrical support legs 3 corresponds one-to-one. The steel plate base 11 is firmly connected to the ground 6 by a single-sided bolt 5, and the sleeve bodies 12 are fitted upwards on the outside of the rubber sleeves 2, and the sleeve bodies 12 are relatively fixed to the outer wall of the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeves 2.

[0045] To further improve the stability of the connecting sleeve 1: ① The steel plate base 11 is welded and fixed to the sleeve body 12; ② Single-sided bolts 5 are evenly distributed along the edge of the steel plate base 11, with no less than 4 bolts, and the screw axis of the single-sided bolts 5 is perpendicular to the surface of the steel plate base 11, ensuring a firm connection between the steel plate base 11 and the ground 6.

[0046] In addition, the depth of the sleeve body 12 is not less than the length of the cylindrical support leg 3, so as to adapt the height of the cabinet body 4 according to actual needs.

[0047] Specifically, see attached document. Figure 3 In this embodiment, the inner layer 21 of the rubber sleeve 2 has a smooth surface, and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 has protrusions 221 and grooves 222. The protrusions 221 and grooves 222 are preferably circular, and are equidistantly and alternately distributed on the surface of the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2. This structural feature of the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 can improve the tightness of the connection between the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2 and the sleeve body 12. Furthermore, it can change the shape of the pre-reserved deformation gap between the inner layer 21 and the outer layer 22 of the rubber sleeve 2, thereby improving the vibration damping performance of the cabinet.

[0048] It should be added that the rubber sleeve 2 is made of highly elastic rubber material and its length does not exceed the length of the cylindrical support leg 3.

[0049] In summary, the multi-directional energy-dissipating and shock-absorbing cabinet of this utility model achieves a firm connection between the cabinet body 4 and the ground 6 through the multi-layered sleeve structure of cylindrical legs 3, rubber sleeves 2 and connecting sleeves 1. At the same time, by utilizing the structural characteristics of the rubber sleeves 2 themselves, the shock absorption performance of the cabinet is improved, thereby significantly improving the safety and reliability of the data center under earthquake disasters. This solves the defects of data center cabinets that are difficult to anchor and limit to the ground 6 and walls using welding, bolting and other methods to cope with high-magnitude earthquake risks.
