Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of data center equipment, and more particularly to a data center cabinet and a data center room. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, data centers, as the physical platform for cloud computing, have also experienced unprecedented growth globally. However, this rapid increase in the number of data centers has brought enormous management challenges to operators.

[0003] Existing data center server rooms typically have numerous server racks, and often the same rack involves equipment covering multiple departments' business, such as networking, storage, and servers, with multiple departments simultaneously having access to the rack. In racks shared by multiple departments, unauthorized equipment is frequently installed, resulting in the discovery during actual installation that the corresponding storage space (U-slot) is already occupied. In other words, in actual operation, unauthorized use of other service U-slots frequently occurs, causing chaos in rack management. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, this application provides a data center cabinet and a data center server room, which can realize refined management of the cabinet to solve the problem of chaotic cabinet management.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] On one hand, this application provides a data center cabinet, including:

[0007] The cabinet has an internal space for machine positions, which is divided into multiple U-shaped spaces along the height.

[0008] The uprights are located in the cabinet and on both sides of the machine space. Along the height direction, the uprights have multiple U-position mounting holes, which correspond to the U-position spaces. The U-position mounting holes are used to install the cabinet equipment in the corresponding U-position spaces.

[0009] U-position locks are detachably installed in the U-position mounting holes to control the corresponding U-position space.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the U-lock includes:

[0011] The lock body is detachably installed in the U-position mounting hole;

[0012] The lock cylinder is rotatably located within the lock body;

[0013] The lock cylinder is used to engage with the lock body after rotation, so as to respectively engage with both sides of the U-position mounting hole, thereby fixing the U-position lock in the U-position mounting hole.

[0014] In one possible implementation, the lock body includes:

[0015] The hand grip is used by the user to hold the object.

[0016] The insertion part is connected to the handheld part and is used to insert into the U-position mounting hole.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the handle has anti-slip texture.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the hand-held part and the insertion part are integrally formed.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the lock cylinder includes:

[0020] The pivot part is inserted into the lock body and can rotate within the lock body;

[0021] Locking part, the locking part is connected to the rotating shaft part;

[0022] The locking part is used to cooperate with the lock body after the rotating shaft part rotates, so as to respectively hold the U-position mounting hole on both sides, thereby fixing the U-position lock in the U-position mounting hole.

[0023] In one possible implementation, multiple connecting wires are also included, one end of which is connected to the column and located on one side of the corresponding U-position mounting hole, and the other end of which is connected to the corresponding U-position lock.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the column is equipped with a scale that extends along the height direction.

[0025] In one possible implementation, the column is provided with multiple marking sections, which correspond to the U-position mounting holes, and the marking sections are used by the user to add markings.

[0026] On the other hand, this application provides a data center room, including rack equipment and at least one of the above-mentioned data center racks, with the rack equipment installed in a corresponding U-shaped space.

[0027] This application provides data center racks and data center server rooms. By subdividing the rack space into multiple unit (U) spaces and installing U-locks on the U-mounting holes of each U-space, fine-grained management of the U-space within the rack is achieved. Simultaneously, independent management and control of each U-space via U-locks improves space utilization. The introduction of U-locks ensures that only authorized users can access specific U-spaces, preventing unauthorized equipment installation and protecting the security and integrity of equipment within the rack. By increasing management granularity to the U-space level, administrators can more precisely control and monitor equipment within the rack, helping to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency. Since each U-lock requires a specific key to unlock, access control becomes simpler and more direct; administrators can easily assign and revoke access permissions for specific U-spaces. The presence of U-locks effectively prevents accidental or unintended changes to equipment location, reducing ineffective misuse, occupation, or system failures caused by human error.

Detailed Implementation

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0036] With the rapid development of cloud computing technology, data centers, as the physical platform for cloud computing, have also experienced unprecedented growth globally. However, this rapid increase in the number of data centers has brought enormous management challenges to operators.

[0037] Existing data center server rooms typically have numerous server racks, and often the same rack involves equipment covering multiple departments' business, such as networking, storage, and servers, with multiple departments simultaneously having access to the rack. In racks shared by multiple departments, unauthorized equipment is frequently installed, resulting in the discovery during actual installation that the corresponding storage space (U-slot) is already occupied. In other words, in actual operation, unauthorized use of other service U-slots frequently occurs, causing chaos in rack management.

[0038] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, after repeated consideration and verification, the inventors discovered that if a lock is installed on the U-position mounting hole used to install rack equipment, it can be locked to ensure that only authorized users can access the specific U-position space. This prevents unauthorized equipment installation, protects the security and integrity of the equipment in the rack, and improves the management accuracy of the U-position space inside the rack, thereby helping to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency.

[0039] In view of this, this application provides a data center cabinet, comprising:

[0040] The cabinet has an internal space for machine positions, which is divided into multiple U-shaped spaces along the height.

[0041] The uprights are located in the cabinet and on both sides of the machine space. Along the height direction, the uprights have multiple U-position mounting holes, which correspond to the U-position spaces. The U-position mounting holes are used to install the cabinet equipment in the corresponding U-position spaces.

[0042] U-position locks are detachably installed in the U-position mounting holes to control the corresponding U-position space.

[0043] By subdividing the rack space into multiple U-slot spaces and installing U-slot locks on the U-slot mounting holes in each U-slot space, fine-grained management of the U-slot space within the rack is achieved. Simultaneously, independent management and control of each U-slot through U-slot locks improves space utilization. The introduction of U-slot locks ensures that only authorized users can access specific U-slot spaces, preventing unauthorized equipment installation and protecting the security and integrity of equipment within the rack. By increasing the granularity of management to the U-slot level, administrators can more precisely control and monitor equipment within the rack, helping to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency. Since each U-slot lock requires a specific key to unlock, access control becomes simpler and more direct; administrators can easily assign and revoke access permissions for specific U-slots. The presence of U-slot locks effectively prevents accidental or unintended changes to equipment location, reducing ineffective misuse, occupation, or system failures caused by human error.

[0044] The contents of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can have a clearer and more detailed understanding of the contents of this application.

[0045] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a data center cabinet provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the U-lock of the data center cabinet when it is unlocked. Figure 3 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the data center cabinet when the U-position lock is locked. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The diagram shows the structural diagram of the support column of the data center cabinet.

[0046] The following sections provide a detailed description of the specific structure of data center cabinets and various possible implementation methods.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, the data center cabinet 100 is used in a data center computer room.

[0048] The data center rack 100 includes a rack body 10, uprights 20, and USB port locks 30. Uprights 20 are located within the rack body 10. USB port locks 30 are located on uprights 20. The rack body 10 primarily houses and protects the rack equipment from physical damage, dust, and other environmental factors. Uprights 20 provide necessary support and secure positioning for the rack equipment, ensuring stable installation. USB port locks 30 are used to manage each USB port, ensuring that only authorized users can access and use specific USB ports.

[0049] A U (unit of measurement) is a unit of measurement for the internal space of a server rack, primarily used to indicate the height of equipment within the rack. 1 U equals 1.75 inches (approximately 44.45 millimeters). Servers, network equipment, and other rack-mounted devices typically specify the number of U units required to help plan rack space utilization. For example, if a server is 2 U high, then it occupies 3.5 inches of height within the rack.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the cabinet 10 is also equipped with a cable management system and a ventilation system to optimize the operating environment of the cabinet equipment.

[0051] In one possible implementation, the cabinet 10 includes front and rear doors, side panels, and a top to facilitate the installation, maintenance, and ventilation of the cabinet equipment.

[0052] In one possible implementation, the cabinet 10 is made of a robust material (such as steel or aluminum alloy) to provide structural strength and durability for the data center cabinet 100.

[0053] In one possible implementation, the cabinet 10 forms an internal mounting space 11. Along the height direction, the mounting space 11 is divided into multiple U-shaped spaces 111. Uprights 20 are located within the cabinet 10, on both sides of the mounting spaces 11. Along the height direction, the uprights 20 have multiple U-shaped mounting holes 21, corresponding to the U-shaped spaces 111, for mounting cabinet equipment into the corresponding U-shaped spaces 111. A U-shaped lock 30 is detachably installed in the U-shaped mounting hole 21 to control the corresponding U-shaped space 111.

[0054] By providing U-position mounting holes 21, the uprights 20 help to accurately position the rack equipment, ensuring that the alignment and spacing of the equipment meet standards. Furthermore, the design of multiple U-position mounting holes 21 allows for adjustment of the rack equipment's installation position as needed to accommodate different equipment configurations and layouts. Each U-position space 111 is controlled by a U-position lock 30, ensuring that only authorized users can access and use specific U-positions.

[0055] The U-lock 30 enables independent management and control of each U-slot, improving space utilization. The introduction of the U-lock 30 ensures that only authorized users can access specific U-slot spaces 111, preventing unauthorized equipment installation and protecting the security and integrity of equipment within the rack. By restricting access to U-slots, the U-lock 30 elevates management granularity to the U-slot level, allowing administrators to more precisely control and monitor equipment within the rack, contributing to optimized resource allocation and improved operational efficiency. Since each U-lock 30 requires a specific key to unlock, access control becomes simpler and more direct; administrators can easily assign and revoke access permissions for specific U-slots. The presence of the U-lock 30 effectively prevents accidental or unintended changes to equipment location, reducing ineffective misuse, occupancy, or system malfunctions caused by human error.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one possible implementation, the U-position lock 30 includes a lock body 31 and a lock cylinder 32. The lock body 31 is detachably disposed in the U-position mounting hole 21. The lock cylinder 32 is rotatably disposed in the lock body 31. The lock cylinder 32 is used to cooperate with the lock body 31 after rotation, so as to respectively hold both sides of the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby fixing the U-position lock 30 in the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0057] The design of the lock body 31 allows the U-position lock 30 to be easily inserted and removed, facilitating installation and maintenance. Simultaneously, the position of the lock body 31 is precisely aligned with the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of locking the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0058] After rotation, the lock cylinder 32 cooperates with the lock body 31 and is held in place on both sides of the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby firmly fixing the U-position lock 30 in the U-position mounting hole 21. This fixing effect ensures the stability of the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby improving the effectiveness of management.

[0059] The lock cylinder 32 is rotatably installed inside the lock body 31, allowing it to be turned by a key or other authorized tool, thereby detachably mounting the U-position lock 30 onto the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0060] The rotation of the lock cylinder 32 requires a specific key or other authorized tool, which provides physical support for access control. Only users with the correct key or other authorized tool can unlock and access the corresponding U-position.

[0061] In one possible implementation, the rotation axis of the lock cylinder 32 is aligned with the central axis of the lock body 31 to ensure the smoothness and reliability of the lock cylinder 32 during rotation.

[0062] In one possible implementation, the lock body 31 includes a handle 311 and an insertion part 312. The handle 311 is for the user to grip. The insertion part 312 is connected to the handle 311 and is inserted into the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0063] The design of the handle 311 and the insertion part 312 allows the lock body 31 to be easily disassembled and replaced, providing good maintenance and upgrade flexibility.

[0064] The handle 311 is located outside the U-position mounting hole 21 and is designed for easy gripping and operation by the user, thereby inserting the U-position lock 30 into the U-position mounting hole 21. The design of the handle 311 allows the user to easily grip and operate the lock body 31, simplifying the installation and disassembly process, improving user operating comfort, and reducing fatigue or errors caused by improper operation.

[0065] The shape and size of the insertion part 312 match the U-position mounting hole 21 to ensure smooth and secure insertion. The design of the insertion part 312 ensures that the lock body 31 can be quickly and accurately inserted into the U-position mounting hole 21, allowing for proper positioning and fixation of the lock body 31, simplifying the installation process. Simultaneously, the fit between the insertion part 312 and the U-position mounting hole 21 provides additional stability, preventing the lock body 31 from loosening or falling off during use.

[0066] In one possible implementation, the handheld part 311 and the insertion part 312 are integrally formed or fixed together by a robust connector to ensure stability during operation.

[0067] In one possible implementation, the hand-held part 311 and the insertion part 312 are formed into a plastic lock body 31 on the outside of the lock cylinder 32 through injection molding. This method has a simple structure and process, improves production efficiency, and reduces costs, thus meeting the needs of mass production.

[0068] In one possible implementation, the lock cylinder 32 includes a pivot portion 321 and a locking portion 322. The pivot portion 321 passes through the lock body 31 and can rotate within the lock body 31. The locking portion 322 is connected to the pivot portion 321. The locking portion 322 is used to engage with the lock body 31 after the pivot portion 321 rotates, respectively engaging with both sides of the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby fixing the U-position lock 30 in the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0069] As the key rotates, the locking part 322, together with the lock body 31, forms a barb larger than the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby locking the entire lock body 31 in the U-position. It can only be removed by opening it with a key, thus forming a locking control of the cabinet U-position.

[0070] The rotation of the pivot 321 controls the state of the locking part 322, thus enabling access control of the U-position. Only authorized users can unlock it. This locking mechanism prevents unauthorized operations and reduces the risk of accidental operation or misplacement of the device.

[0071] A pivot 321 is inserted into the lock body 31 and is typically located on the central axis of the lock body 31 to facilitate smooth rotation within the lock body 31. The connection between the pivot 321 and the lock body 31 allows for free rotation while maintaining the correct position within the lock body 31. The design of the pivot 321 allows users to lock or unlock the lock with a simple rotation operation, simplifying the usage process and enabling the lock cylinder 32 to respond responsively to user actions, providing a flexible user experience.

[0072] The locking part 322 is connected to the pivot part 321 and is usually located at the end or middle of the pivot part 321. The design of the locking part 322 allows it to cooperate with the lock body 31 when the pivot part 321 rotates to achieve locking or unlocking functions. After rotation, the locking part 322 engages with one side of the U-position mounting hole 21 and cooperates with the lock body 31, which is engaged with the other side of the U-position mounting hole 21, providing a strong locking mechanism to prevent unauthorized disassembly or movement.

[0073] Due to the tight fit between the locking part 322 and the lock body 31, the lock cylinder 32 provides a highly reliable locking function, reducing the risk of loosening or failure.

[0074] In one possible implementation, the locking part 322 cooperates with the handheld part 311 and is respectively held on both sides of the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the insertion part 312 cooperates with the rotating shaft part 321 to completely fit the opening of the U-position mounting hole 21, thereby providing additional stability to prevent the U-position lock 30 from loosening or falling off during use.

[0076] In one possible implementation, the U-position mounting hole 21 is 10mm wide and 10mm high. When inserted, the insertion part 312, the rotating shaft part 321, and the locking part 322 form a pattern with a maximum width of 10mm and a height of 10mm, thus perfectly fitting the U-position mounting hole 21. After locking, the maximum width of the pattern formed by the insertion part 312, the rotating shaft part 321, and the locking part 322 is greater than 10mm, thereby fixing the U-position lock 30 in the U-position mounting hole 21.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the distance between two adjacent U-positions along the height direction is D, where D satisfies: 13mm≤D≤15mm.

[0078] The spacing between the U-positions ensures standardized equipment installation locations, accommodating the installation needs of various devices. The U-position spacing is between 13mm and 15mm, conforming to industry standards (such as EIA-310) and ensuring compatibility with most rack-mounted equipment. Optionally, a 14mm spacing is available as the standard U-position spacing, ensuring precise equipment positioning, preventing installation errors, and improving equipment stability and alignment accuracy. The U-position design adheres to industry standards, supporting standardized installation and management processes, reducing customization needs and related costs.

[0079] Along the height direction, the U-position lock 30 extends beyond the U-position mounting hole 21 by less than or equal to 10mm.

[0080] The dimensions of the U-lock 30 ensure that it can fit the spacing of U-positions, allowing for installation and operation without interfering with adjacent U-positions. The compact design of the U-lock 30 simplifies the installation and removal process, reduces operating space requirements, and improves installation efficiency.

[0081] The standardized spacing between U-positions and the compact lock size provide greater flexibility, supporting various device configurations and future expansion needs.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the handheld part 311 is provided with anti-slip texture 313.

[0083] Anti-slip texture 313 is provided on the outer surface of the hand grip 311, covering the main contact area of ​​the hand grip 311, so that the user can obtain better friction when gripping.

[0084] The anti-slip texture 313 provides additional friction, increasing grip strength, preventing slippage, and improving the user's grip stability when operating the lock body 31. This ensures smooth locking and unlocking operations, reducing accidental drops or misoperations due to slippage, especially in wet hands or adverse environmental conditions, thus improving operational safety. Simultaneously, the anti-slip texture 313 also provides a more comfortable grip through visual and tactile feedback, reducing fatigue during prolonged operation and enhancing the overall user experience.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the anti-slip texture 313 can be an uneven texture, a rubber coating, or other material treatment to enhance grip.

[0086] Data centers are classified as confidential application scenarios. In addition to the extremely small U-space, the use of locks using RFID or electronic locks is strictly controlled. Therefore, the structure of the U-lock 30 should be simple and passive to facilitate wider adoption and lower the barrier to entry.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the data center rack 100 also includes multiple connecting cables 40. One end of the connecting cable 40 is connected to the column 20 and located on one side of the corresponding U-position mounting hole 21, and the other end of the connecting cable 40 is connected to the corresponding U-position lock 30. The connecting cable 40 is used to fix the U-position lock 30 near the column 20 to prevent it from falling off or being lost during operation.

[0088] The connecting cable 40 secures the U-position lock 30 to the column 20, preventing the U-position lock 30 from being lost during disassembly or operation, thus improving management convenience. The connecting cable 40 also prevents the U-position lock 30 from accidentally falling, avoiding potential damage to equipment or personnel. Users do not need to worry about losing or misplacing the U-position lock 30 when installing or removing it, simplifying the operation process. Furthermore, by reducing the time spent searching for and organizing the U-position lock 30, the efficiency of equipment installation and maintenance is improved.

[0089] In one possible implementation, one end of the connecting line 40 is fixed to the column 20 by means of binding, fastener, threaded connection, etc., and the other end of the connecting line 40 can be connected to the corresponding U-position lock 30 by binding, fastener, threaded connection, etc. It can also be connected by other fixing mechanisms to ensure the firmness and reliability of the connection.

[0090] like Figure 4 As shown, in one possible implementation, the column 20 is provided with a scale 22. The scale 22 extends along the height direction.

[0091] The ruler 22 supports standardized equipment installation procedures, ensuring all equipment is installed and managed according to uniform standards. By providing precise installation references, the ruler 22 reduces errors and rework caused by improper placement, saving time and costs. The ruler 22 also helps users rationally plan equipment installation locations, maximizing the utilization of the rack's internal space 11.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the scale 22 is directly set on the surface of the column 20 and extends along the height direction, thereby ensuring that the scale 22 can cover the entire length of the column 20 and provide a reference for all U positions.

[0093] In one possible implementation, the scale 22 is located on the front or side of the column 20 so that the user can view it when installing and adjusting the equipment.

[0094] The ruler 22 provides an intuitive reference, making equipment installation and alignment more precise and reducing installation errors caused by improper positioning. Users can quickly determine the installation location of the equipment without additional measuring tools, thus simplifying the operation process and improving efficiency. The clear visual reference provided by the ruler 22 enhances user convenience and satisfaction.

[0095] In one possible implementation, the column 20 is provided with multiple marking sections 23. The marking sections 23 correspond to the U-position mounting holes 21 and are used by the user to add markings.

[0096] The positioning design of the marking section 23 ensures that users can easily mark and identify each U-position.

[0097] The labeling unit 23 allows users to add custom labels to each U-position, such as device name, number, and purpose, enhancing the visual management of devices within the rack. Users can quickly identify and locate devices, reducing the time spent searching for and confirming device locations and improving operational efficiency. The labeling unit 23 provides flexible labeling options to adapt to different management needs and environmental changes. The labeling unit 23 helps users clearly identify each U-position, reducing operational errors caused by device confusion or incorrect location.

[0098] In one possible implementation, the data center rack 100 also includes a rack door 50. The rack door 50 is attached to the rack body 10. The rack door 50 provides a physical barrier, protecting the equipment inside the rack body 10 from dust, contaminants, and physical damage.

[0099] In one possible implementation, an electronic lock can also be installed on the cabinet door 50 to control the entire cabinet.

[0100] The data center rack 100 provided in this embodiment includes a rack body 10, uprights 20, and U-position locks 30. The rack body 10 has internal rack spaces 11, which are divided into multiple U-position spaces 111 along the height direction. Uprights 20 are located within the rack body 10 and on both sides of the rack spaces 11. Along the height direction, uprights 20 have multiple U-position mounting holes 21, each corresponding to a U-position space 111, for mounting rack equipment in the corresponding U-position space 111. The U-position locks 30 are detachably installed in the U-position mounting holes 21 to control the corresponding U-position space 111.

[0101] By subdividing the rack space 11 into multiple U-slot spaces 111 and installing a U-slot lock 30 on the U-slot mounting hole 21 of each U-slot space 111, fine-grained management of the U-slot spaces 111 inside the rack is achieved. Simultaneously, the independent management and control of each U-slot through the U-slot lock 30 improves space utilization. The introduction of the U-slot lock 30 ensures that only authorized users can access specific U-slot spaces 111, preventing unauthorized equipment installation and protecting the security and integrity of the equipment within the rack. By increasing the granularity of management to the U-slot level, administrators can more precisely control and monitor the equipment within the rack, helping to optimize resource allocation and improve operational efficiency. Since each U-slot lock 30 requires a specific key to unlock, access control becomes simpler and more direct; administrators can easily assign and revoke access permissions for specific U-slots. The presence of the U-slot lock 30 effectively prevents accidental or unintended changes to equipment positions, reducing ineffective misuse, occupation, or system failures caused by human error.

[0102] On another front, this application provides a data center room, including rack equipment and at least one of the aforementioned data center racks 100, with the rack equipment installed in a corresponding U-shaped space 111.

[0103] The specific structure, working principle and function of the data center cabinet 100 have been described in detail in the aforementioned embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0104] The rack equipment in this application embodiment can be a facility for computer systems and related equipment, such as communication and storage devices. It includes server hardware, data storage, network equipment, UPS (uninterruptible power supply), power supply equipment, and facilities for environmental control (such as air conditioning and fire protection systems).

[0105] It should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "embodiment," "exemplary embodiment," "some embodiments," etc., mentioned in the specification indicate that the described embodiment may include a specific feature, structure, or characteristic, but not every embodiment necessarily includes that specific feature, structure, or characteristic. Furthermore, such phrases do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Moreover, when a specific feature, structure, or characteristic is described in connection with an embodiment, implementing such a feature, structure, or characteristic in conjunction with other embodiments, whether explicitly described or not, is within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art.

[0106] Generally speaking, terms should be understood at least in part by their use in context. For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.
