Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of data centers, and more particularly to a containerized data center. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the rapid development of technologies such as cloud computing and edge computing, the demand for high-density computing clusters is growing exponentially. However, existing containerized data centers require a large amount of external space for laying external pipelines, which greatly limits their compact deployment capabilities. Furthermore, exposed pipelines and joints are susceptible to wear and corrosion due to the fluctuating temperature and humidity, and the lack of unified planning in the overall layout severely affects the aesthetics of the containers, making it difficult to meet the high adaptability requirements of data centers in application scenarios.

[0003] Therefore, it is urgent to propose a solution to the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a containerized data center to solve the problems of existing data centers having large external piping space requirements and interfaces and external piping that are easily worn due to exposure to the outside world.

[0005] Based on the above concept, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A containerized data center includes a shell with an installation cavity. A first partition and a second partition are disposed within the installation cavity. The thickness directions of the first and second partitions are parallel to the vertical direction, and the second partition is located below the first partition. The first and second partitions divide the installation cavity from top to bottom into a server room cavity, a functional cavity, and a connection cavity. The server room cavity is used to install server equipment, and the functional cavity is used to install functional equipment. The second partition has multiple connection ports, and the shell has multiple connection ports at the connection cavity. The containerized data center also includes multiple adapters located in the connection cavity. One end of each adapter is installed in a corresponding connection port and can be connected to multiple connectors of the functional equipment. The other end of each adapter is installed in a corresponding connection port and can be connected to external lines and pipes.

[0007] Optionally, the connection port is located on the side wall of the connection cavity.

[0008] Optionally, the height ratio of the machine room cavity to the connection cavity is 10:1 to 5:1.

[0009] Optionally, the functional equipment includes power supply equipment, data transmission equipment, and HVAC equipment, wherein the connectors of the power supply equipment, the data transmission equipment, the inlet connector of the HVAC equipment, and the outlet connector of the HVAC equipment are connected to one end of the adapter in a corresponding manner.

[0010] Optionally, the housing is movably provided with an opening and closing component at the connection port, the opening and closing component being able to switch between a blocked state that seals the connection port and an open state that opens the connection port.

[0011] Optionally, the radial dimension of the connection cavity gradually decreases from top to bottom.

[0012] Optionally, the adapter is L-shaped.

[0013] Optionally, the containerized data center further includes protective components, which are laid on the outer periphery of the shell, and the protective components have clearance openings at the connection ports.

[0014] Optionally, the protective member is movably provided with a barrier at the avoidance opening, and the barrier can be movably switched between a blocked position that blocks the avoidance opening and an open position that opens the avoidance opening.

[0015] Optionally, the containerized data center also includes a base capable of supporting the housing.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model proposes a containerized data center, including a shell with an installation cavity. A first partition and a second partition are disposed within the installation cavity. The thickness directions of the first and second partitions are parallel to the vertical direction, and the second partition is located below the first partition. The first and second partitions divide the installation cavity from top to bottom into a server room cavity, a functional cavity, and a connection cavity. The server room cavity is used to install server equipment, and the functional cavity is used to install functional equipment. The second partition has multiple connection ports, and the shell has multiple connection ports at the connection cavity. The containerized data center also includes multiple adapters located in the connection cavity. One end of each adapter is installed in a corresponding connection port and can be connected to multiple connectors of the functional equipment. The other end of each adapter is installed in a corresponding connection port and can be connected to external lines and pipes. By incorporating a housing with an internal mounting cavity, various necessary devices can be installed within it. A first and second partition, extending horizontally and arranged vertically, divide the mounting cavity into a server room cavity, a functional cavity, and a connection cavity. This integrates all functional devices into the functional cavity beneath the server equipment, avoiding the problems of messy device distribution and difficulties in wiring and cable management. The server room cavity is used to install the server equipment to run data services. The connection cavity, equipped with connection ports, allows adapters to extend the connectors of functional devices to these ports within the connection cavity. This eliminates the need to expose adapters and connectors to the outside environment, instead concealing them within the connection cavity. This slows down wear and corrosion of the adapters and connectors, thereby extending their service life and enhancing the aesthetics of the housing. Furthermore, external lines and pipes can be integrated into the connection ports of the connection cavity below the housing, eliminating the need for them to be scattered around the outer perimeter of the housing. This avoids cluttered distribution of external lines and pipes, shortens their required length, improves the space utilization of the work area, and enhances the overall aesthetics and environmental adaptability of the containerized data center.

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] This embodiment proposes a containerized data center to solve the problems of existing data centers having large external piping space requirements and interfaces and external piping being exposed to the outside world and prone to wear and tear.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the containerized data center includes a shell 1 with an installation cavity. A first partition 11 and a second partition 12 are disposed within the installation cavity. The thickness directions of the first partition 11 and the second partition 12 are parallel to the vertical direction, and the second partition 12 is located below the first partition 11. The first partition 11 and the second partition 12 divide the installation cavity from top to bottom into a server room cavity 13, a functional cavity 14, and a connection cavity 15. The server room cavity 13 is used to install server equipment, and the functional cavity 14 is used to install functional equipment. The second partition 12 has multiple connection ports, and the shell 1 has multiple connection ports 151 at the connection cavity 15. The containerized data center also includes multiple adapters 2 located in the connection cavity 15. One end of each adapter 2 is installed in a corresponding connection port and can be connected to multiple connectors of the functional equipment. The other end of each adapter 2 is installed in a corresponding connection port 151 and can be connected to external lines and pipes.

[0031] Understandably, the containerized data center proposed in this embodiment, by setting a shell 1 with an installation cavity, can accommodate various required equipment. The installation cavity is divided into a server room cavity 13, a functional cavity 14, and a connection cavity 15 by setting a horizontally extending and vertically arranged first partition 11 and second partition 12. This integrates all functional equipment into the functional cavity 14 below the server equipment, avoiding the problem of messy distribution of functional equipment leading to difficulties in wiring and cable management. The server room cavity 13 is used to install server equipment to run data services. The connection cavity 15 has a connection port 151, allowing the adapter 2 to connect within the connection cavity 15. The connectors of the functional equipment are extended to the connection port 151, so that the adapter 2 and the connector are not exposed to the outside, but are hidden in the connection cavity 15. This delays the wear and corrosion of the adapter 2 and the connector, thereby extending the service life of the adapter 2 and the connector and improving the aesthetics of the housing 1. In addition, external lines and pipes can be integrated into the connection port 151 of the connection cavity 15 below the housing 1, without being scattered around the outer perimeter of the housing 1. This avoids the messy distribution of external lines and pipes, shortens the required length of external lines and pipes, thereby improving the space utilization of the work site and enhancing the overall aesthetics and environmental adaptability of the containerized data center.

[0032] Optionally, the connection port 151 is located on the side wall of the connection cavity 15. This arrangement allows external lines and pipes to be connected to the connection port 151 from one side of the housing 1, improving the convenience of wiring and shortening the length of external lines and pipes, thereby improving the structural rationality of the containerized data center.

[0033] Optionally, the height ratio of the server room cavity 13 to the connection cavity 15 is 10:1 to 5:1. This setting makes the height of the connection cavity 15 occupy a smaller proportion, thereby avoiding the connection cavity 15 affecting the installation space of the server equipment and improving user satisfaction.

[0034] For example, the height ratio of the server room cavity 13 to the functional cavity 14 is 6:1 to 3:1. This arrangement ensures the installation capacity of functional equipment in the functional cavity 14 while avoiding affecting the installation space of server equipment, thus improving the structural rationality of the containerized data center.

[0035] Optionally, the functional equipment includes power supply equipment, data transmission equipment, and HVAC equipment. The connectors for the power supply equipment, data transmission equipment, HVAC equipment (inlet and outlet) are connected one-to-one with one end of adapter 2. This arrangement facilitates the connection of the power supply equipment, data transmission equipment, and HVAC equipment to external lines and pipes, improving the structural rationality of the containerized data center.

[0036] Of course, in other embodiments, the functional device may also include more other devices such as backup power supplies, or fewer than the devices listed above. The device can be selected as needed according to the actual application scenario, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0037] For example, the adapter 2 connected between the connector of the power supply equipment and a connection port 151 is a power adapter cable; the adapter 2 connected between the connector of the data transmission equipment and another connection port 151 is a data adapter cable; the adapter 2 connected between the water inlet connector of the HVAC equipment and another connection port 151 is an adapter outlet pipe; and the adapter 2 connected between the water outlet connector of the HVAC equipment and yet another connection port 151 is an adapter inlet pipe.

[0038] Of course, in other embodiments, the type of adapter 2 is not limited to this. It can be selected as needed according to the type of functional device, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0039] Optionally, the housing 1 is movably provided with an opening / closing component 152 at the connection port 151. The opening / closing component 152 can switch between a blocked state and an open state of the connection port 151. This configuration allows the connection port 151 to be blocked by the opening / closing component 152 when it is not in use, preventing dust from entering and extending the service life of the connection port 151. It also allows it to be opened at any time to enter the service state, improving the reliability of the containerized data center.

[0040] For example, the opening / closing component 152 has an arc-shaped cross-section, with its concave surface facing the connection port 151 and one side movably positioned above the connection port 151. This arrangement allows dust and rainwater to more easily slide from the top of the opening / closing component 152 to the ground when it is opened, improving the dustproof and waterproof effect of the connection port 151, thereby enhancing the reliability of the containerized data center and user satisfaction.

[0041] Of course, the shape of the opening and closing component 152 is not limited to this. It can be set as needed according to the actual application scenario, and no further restrictions are imposed here.

[0042] Optionally, the radial dimension of the connection cavity 15 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This arrangement further reduces the size of the connection cavity 15, thereby avoiding excessive space occupation in the housing 1. In addition, the shape of the connection cavity 15 makes it easier for external lines and pipes to be connected from the side wall of the connection cavity 15 to the connection port 151, thereby reducing the difficulty of connection.

[0043] For example, the radial dimension of the functional cavity 14 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the larger end dimension of the functional cavity 14 is consistent with the lower end dimension of the server room cavity 13, while the smaller end dimension is consistent with the larger end dimension of the connection cavity 15. This arrangement makes the overall radial dimension of the functional cavity 14 and the connection cavity 15 gradually decrease from top to bottom, improving the consistency of the shell 1 shape and thus enhancing the structural rationality of the containerized data center.

[0044] Optionally, the adapter 2 is L-shaped. This arrangement makes it easier for functional devices to connect to the connection port 151 on the side wall of the connection cavity 15, while improving the space utilization within the connection cavity 15, accommodating more adapters 2, and thus enhancing the adaptability of the containerized data center to various scenarios.

[0045] Of course, the shape of the adapter 2 is not limited to this. It can be set as needed according to the setting position of the connector 151. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0046] Optionally, the containerized data center also includes protective components laid around the outer perimeter of the shell 1, with a clearance opening at the connection port 151. This design enhances the protection of the shell 1 and improves the structural rationality of the containerized data center by avoiding interference with the connection port 151 through the clearance opening.

[0047] For example, the protective component is made of glass wool. This design improves the corrosion resistance and high-temperature resistance of the protective component, thereby enhancing its protective effect on the housing 1. Of course, in other embodiments, the protective component can also be made of other materials, and the appropriate material can be selected according to the actual application scenario. No further restrictions are imposed here.

[0048] Optionally, the protective component is equipped with a barrier door at the clearance opening, which can switch between a blocked position and an open position. This feature allows the barrier door to be used to block the clearance opening when it is not in use, thereby providing further protection for the clearance opening 151 and improving the overall aesthetics of the containerized data center.

[0049] Optionally, the containerized data center also includes a base capable of supporting the housing 1. This configuration enhances the stability of the containerized data center, thereby improving its reliability and user satisfaction.

[0050] For example, the first partition 11 has a connection port, through which the power supply lines of the power supply equipment and the data lines of the data transmission equipment pass and are electrically connected to the server equipment. The circulation pipes of the HVAC equipment pass through the connection port and are installed inside the computer room cavity 13. This arrangement facilitates the connection or coordination of server equipment and functional equipment, improving the structural rationality and operational reliability of the containerized data center.

[0051] The working process of the containerized data center in this embodiment is as follows:

[0052] Once the containerized data center arrives at its work location, the door and hinge 152 are opened to expose the connection port 151.

[0053] Then connect the power adapter cable to the corresponding connection port 151 of the power supply equipment, connect the data adapter cable to the corresponding connection port 151 of the data transmission equipment, connect the adapter outlet pipe to the corresponding connection port 151 of the HVAC equipment inlet connector, and connect the adapter inlet pipe to the corresponding connection port 151 of the HVAC equipment outlet connector.

[0054] Turn on the switch for the containerized data center, and it will begin operating.
