Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the fields of digital twin and industrial IoT hardware technology, and in particular to a digital twin hyperconverged all-in-one machine. Background Technology

[0002] In today's digital age, traditional water conservancy management models are facing numerous severe challenges. On the one hand, water conservancy facilities are widely distributed, encompassing various complex systems such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs, dams, and irrigation canals, making their operational status monitoring and management extremely difficult. On the other hand, climate change is leading to an increase in extreme weather events, with frequent floods, droughts, and other disasters, placing higher demands on the emergency response and decision support capabilities of water conservancy systems. Taking floods caused by torrential rains as an example, it is necessary to accurately predict key parameters such as flood evolution paths and peak flow rates within a short period of time in order to formulate timely and scientifically sound flood control and dispatch plans to protect people's lives and property. Currently, the existing water conservancy information infrastructure is fragmented, and computing, storage, and network resources are difficult to coordinate effectively, failing to meet the stringent requirements of real-time performance, reliability, and scalability for digital twin water conservancy applications. Against the backdrop of the rapid development of digital twin technology, the demand for integrated monitoring and control equipment in industries such as industry, water conservancy, and power is becoming increasingly urgent.

[0003] The construction of traditional digital twin systems often relies on the splicing of multiple independent devices (such as servers, IoT gateways, and data storage devices), which has the following significant drawbacks: low system integration, dispersed deployment of various functional modules (computing, storage, network, and IoT access), poor compatibility between devices, and the need for complex wiring connections. This not only occupies a large amount of physical space but is also prone to data transmission delays or interruptions due to interface incompatibility. Traditional equipment has a fixed structure, and hardware upgrades require complete replacement or large-scale modification, making it difficult to adapt to the dynamically growing computing demands and functional expansions in digital twin scenarios (such as adding sensor access or increasing storage capacity). Furthermore, the internal component layout is messy, requiring the disassembly of multiple parts for maintenance, making the operation cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a digital twin hyperconverged appliance.

[0005] The digital twin hyperconverged appliance provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A digital twin hyperconverged all-in-one machine includes: an internal frame providing space for the installation of integrated modules; a housing covering the internal frame and having at least one open end; an integrated module formed by integrating multiple functional modules and detachably fixed to the internal frame; and a display screen obliquely mounted on the top of the housing. The integrated modules are arranged in layers along the height direction of the supporting frame structure.

[0006] Preferably, the internal frame includes: a main frame composed of a rectangular frame and a longitudinal support frame, wherein the longitudinal support frame has a plurality of connection cavities; a bottom support frame located at the bottom of the main frame and adapted to the size of the open end of the housing; a display support frame located at the end of the main frame away from the bottom support frame, wherein the display support frame is adapted to a preset angle of the display screen, and wherein a plurality of cooling fans are fixed on the display support frame.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom support frame includes: a rectangular base plate with several heat dissipation holes on its surface, at least four positioning feet symmetrically arranged along the corners of the base plate, and movable wheels located inside the positioning feet and adjustable in position.

[0008] Preferably, the housing includes: a shell, a mounting slot opposite to the installation position of the display screen, the back of the display screen extending into the mounting slot, side passage cavities on both sides of the shell, the inner diameter of the side passage cavity being larger than the distance between the two longitudinal support frames of the internal frame, and a heat dissipation passage cavity on the upper end of the shell away from the mounting slot.

[0009] Preferably, the outer casing further includes: a side plate that snaps onto the housing and is located on one side of the housing; a side plate that snaps onto the housing and is located on the other side of the housing; and a back plate located at the rear end of the housing. The side plate, the side plate, and the back plate are all connected to the housing via slots.

[0010] Preferably, the integrated module includes: a server module consisting of a computing resource module, a network security module, and a storage backup module; an Internet of Things (IoT) module located above the server module; and an antenna module extending to the outside of the housing. The computing resource module, network security module, and storage backup module are installed sequentially from bottom to top along the internal frame, with the IoT module located at the topmost position.

[0011] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects: It integrates server modules, IoT modules, and antenna modules into one unit, enabling the entire digital twin process (data acquisition, computing, storage, and transmission) without the need for additional splicing equipment. This reduces the number of connection nodes between devices, lowers data transmission latency, and saves physical installation space.

[0012] Through the layered design of the internal frame, each functional module adopts a detachable fixing method, which supports individual upgrades or replacements. Direct replacement of hard drives to expand storage and replacement of high-performance processors to improve computing power are also supported. The connection cavity design of the vertical support frame enables quick assembly and disassembly of modules, adapting to the functional combination requirements of different scenarios.

[0013] The bottom heat dissipation holes, the top heat dissipation cavity, and the display support frame cooling fan form a vertical heat dissipation airflow. Combined with the "bottom heavy, top light" layered layout of the module, the computing module with high heat generation is placed at the bottom, which facilitates the upward dissipation of heat.

[0019] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0020] A digital twin hyperconverged all-in-one machine includes: a casing 1, a display screen 2, an internal frame 3, and integrated modules. The internal frame 3 provides installation space for the integrated modules. The integrated modules are fixed by the internal frame 3, ensuring the structural stability of the device. The casing 1 covers the internal frame 3 and has an open end for easy assembly; it can be directly placed over the internal frame 3 during assembly. The integrated modules are composed of multiple functional components and are detachably fixed to the internal frame 3. Hardware modules can be replaced or upgraded as needed, giving the all-in-one machine strong scalability and adaptability. The display screen 2 is mounted at an angle on the top of the casing 1, providing a better viewing angle or improving operational convenience. This allows users to better observe the displayed content. The integrated modules are layered along the height of the supporting frame structure, with the internal functional components arranged vertically and orderly. This helps optimize space utilization, facilitates heat dissipation, and improves system maintainability.

[0021] like Figure 2As shown, the internal frame 3 includes a main frame 31, a bottom support frame 32, and a display support frame 33. The main frame 31 is composed of a rectangular frame and a longitudinal support frame. The rectangular frame provides basic external support to ensure the stability and structural strength of the main frame 31, while the longitudinal support frame provides additional support in the vertical direction, ensuring the stable installation of each module and component. Multiple connection holes are provided on the longitudinal support frame for connecting with other components, making the modular design more convenient and enabling quick installation and disassembly of different parts. The bottom support frame 32 is located at the bottom of the main frame 31, and its size is adapted to the open end of the outer casing 1. The bottom support frame 32 supports the entire structure, ensuring the stability of the casing, and cooperates with the outer casing 1 for easy installation and disassembly. The display support frame 33 is located at the end of the main frame 31 away from the bottom support frame 32 and is adapted to the preset angle of the display screen 2. This ensures that the display screen 2 is installed at the optimal angle, allowing users to obtain a better viewing angle and improve the operating experience. A cooling fan is installed on the display support frame 33. Since the display support frame 33 is located above the main frame 31 and is adapted to the angle of the display screen 2, the fan is installed in a reasonable position to provide concentrated heat dissipation for the display screen 2 and other key areas that may generate heat.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the bottom support frame 32 further includes: a base plate 321, heat dissipation holes 322, positioning feet 323, and casters 324. The base plate 321 is rectangular, and its surface has several heat dissipation holes 322 to help the equipment effectively dissipate heat through bottom heat dissipation. At least four positioning feet 323 are symmetrically arranged at the corners of the base plate 321 to ensure the stability of the bottom support frame 32 when in contact with the ground. The symmetrical arrangement allows the equipment to be evenly stressed when placed, reducing deformation or tilting caused by uneven stress. Casters 324 are provided on the inner side of the positioning feet 323, allowing the equipment to be easily adjusted or moved in different usage environments. The casters 324 are oriented adjustable so that the equipment can be easily moved or repositioned in different spaces.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, the housing 1 includes: a shell 11, a mounting slot 12, a side cavity 13, and a heat dissipation cavity 14. The shell 11 has a mounting slot 12 opposite to the mounting position of the display screen 2. The mounting slot 12 ensures the stable installation of the display screen 2. The back of the display screen 2 extends into the mounting slot 12, reducing the gap between the display screen 2 and the shell, improving the aesthetics and sealing of the shell. The side cavities 13 are located on both sides of the shell 11. The inner diameter of the cavity is larger than the distance between the two longitudinal support frames of the internal frame 3, providing flexible wiring and installation space for the internal components. Integrated modules can be installed and removed through the side cavities 13. The heat dissipation cavity 14 is located on the upper end of the shell 11, away from the mounting slot 12, opposite to the cooling fan position, facilitating the rising and exhaust of hot air. This prevents heat accumulation that could cause overheating of internal components, thus affecting the stability and performance of the equipment.

[0024] In the above embodiment, the housing 1 further includes: a first side panel 15, a second side panel 16, and a back panel 17. The first side panel 15 and the second side panel 16 are located on both sides of the housing 11 and are connected to the housing 11 by a snap-fit ​​connection. If a side panel needs to be replaced or internal maintenance is required, the user can easily remove the side panel without complicated tools or processes. The back panel 17 is located at the rear end of the housing 1. The side panels and the back panel 17 are connected to the housing 11 by a snap-fit ​​design, which makes the connection more secure and facilitates quick installation and disassembly.

[0025] like Figures 3 to 4As shown, the integrated module includes: server module 4, antenna module 5, and IoT module 6. Server module 4 consists of a computing resource module, a network security module, and a storage backup module. The computing resource module uses a high-performance server-grade multi-core processor; in this application, the Kunpeng processor is used. The network security module integrates a high-speed network interface to achieve high-speed and stable connections with the water conservancy monitoring network and internal data center, meeting the needs of rapid transmission of massive amounts of data between the all-in-one machine and external devices. Simultaneously, it is equipped with a 5G-enabled wireless network card, providing flexible data transmission methods for remote water conservancy monitoring stations and mobile water conservancy operation scenarios. The network module supports network virtualization technology, enabling flexible allocation and management of network resources, achieving isolation and reuse of multiple network environments, and ensuring the network requirements of different water conservancy business applications. The storage backup module uses 2*4TB SSD NVMe hard drives and 12*4TB 7.2KRPM SATA hard drives to store frequently read and written critical data, such as real-time monitoring data and running water conservancy model data, to improve data read and write speed and ensure timely system response. To address the challenges of handling large amounts of historical data, high-resolution remote sensing imagery, and backup data, redundant backup and fault tolerance are implemented to ensure the security and integrity of water conservancy data. The IoT module 6, located above the server module 4, connects to other smart devices, enabling communication and data exchange between them. It features a rich set of data acquisition interfaces, supporting protocols such as MQTT, CoAP, TCP, HTTP, ModBus, S7, BACnet; for water conservancy: SL651, SL / T427; for power: DL645, IEC103, IEC101, IEC104. These interfaces connect to various water conservancy sensors, accurately collecting operational status and hydrological data for water conservancy facilities. Ethernet interface data acquisition is supported, facilitating data interaction with smart devices capable of network communication. The antenna module 5 extends to the exterior of the casing 1, primarily for wireless communication. It is responsible for receiving and transmitting wireless signals. The computing resource module, network security module, and storage backup module are installed sequentially from bottom to top along the internal frame 3, with the IoT module 6 at the top. This bottom-to-top installation order helps optimize heat dissipation and prevents heat concentration in any one area. Heat typically rises, and this layout allows heat to circulate through the IoT module 6 and antenna module 5 above, reducing the risk of overheating. The different modules are distributed according to functional requirements, enabling each module to focus on its own task, avoiding interference, and improving the device's processing efficiency.
