[0008] Specific examples of the electrical equipment storage rack of this disclosure (hereinafter referred to as the "first rack") will be described below with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these examples and is intended to be limited to those shown in the claims, and all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims are intended to be included.

[0009] In the following explanation, the terms "front," "back," "left," "right," "up," and "down" may be used, but these directions are relative directions established for the sake of explanation. Also, "left" and "right" in each diagram refer to directions from a frontal view.

[0010] [Overall structure] Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the configuration of a first rack 100 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In Figure 1, in addition to the first rack 100, another electrical equipment storage rack (hereinafter referred to as the "second rack") 200 is shown.

[0011] As shown in Figure 1, the internal space of the first rack 100 has a first space 11 and a second space 12. The first space 11 houses a storage battery 61. The second space 12 houses a server (an example of electrical equipment) 60A, which is powered by the storage battery 61. On the other hand, the second rack 200 does not have a space for housing the storage battery 61, and houses a server (an example of electrical equipment) 60B inside.

[0012] Furthermore, in a top view, the second rack 200 is positioned adjacent to one side of the first rack 100 in the left-right direction. In the example shown in Figure 1, the second rack 200 is adjacent to the left side of the first rack 100.

[0013] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing the configuration of the left side surface of the first rack 100 and the right side surface of the second rack 200 shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 2, the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 shown in FIG. 1 are shown separated from each other. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing the state of the first rack 100 shown in FIG. 1 as viewed from the front right side. In FIGS. 1 and 2, the state in which the storage batteries 61 are placed on all of the eight shelf portions 21 is illustrated, and in FIG. 3, as will be described later, the state in which the storage batteries 61 are placed on the six lower shelf portions 21 out of the eight shelf portions 21 is illustrated.

[0014] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first rack 100 includes a plurality of shelf portions 21 and a mounting angle 22 on which the plurality of shelf portions 21 can be installed. Referring to FIG. 3, the mounting angle 22 includes a front mounting angle 22A provided in the front inside of the first rack 100 and a rear mounting angle 22B provided in the rear inside of the first rack 100.

[0015] The front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B are provided on the right side or the left side of the center in the left-right direction of the first rack 100. In FIGS. 2 and 3, as an example, the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B are provided on the left side of the center in the left-right direction. Specifically, the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B are provided at positions separated by a predetermined distance to the left side of the center in the left-right direction, respectively.

[0016] The shelf portion 21 can place one or more storage batteries 61 and extends in the front-rear direction so as to cross between the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B. Further, the shelf portion 21 is installed with respect to the mounting angle 22 so as to be located on the side surface side of the first rack 100 in the first space 11. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the shelf portion 21 is installed on the left side of the mounting angle 22. That is, the shelf portion 21 is provided close to the left side surface of the first rack 100.

[0017] In other words, the left space of the two internal spaces of the first rack 100, which are bounded by a virtual plane along the front-to-back direction demarcated by the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B, is the first space 11 where the shelf 21 is located. The right space of these two spaces is the second space 12 where the shelf 21 is not located and the server 60A is housed.

[0018] In this way, the server 60A and the battery 61 can be integrated into a single storage rack, thus reducing the space required for the storage rack compared to the case where separate storage racks are provided for the battery 61 and the server 60A.

[0019] Furthermore, as described above, the battery 61 can be mounted to the left of the first rack 100. Therefore, power from the battery 61 of the first rack 100 can be supplied not only to server 60A but also to server 60B housed in the second rack 200, which is adjacent to the left of the first rack 100.

[0020] More specifically, the multiple shelf sections 21 are arranged to be stacked vertically. For example, of the eight shelf sections 21 stacked vertically, each battery 61 placed on the upper four shelf sections 21 (the shelf sections 21 enclosed by the dashed-dotted line X1 in Figure 2) is connected to the server 60A. Also, for example, each battery 61 placed on the lower four shelf sections 21 (the shelf sections 21 enclosed by the dashed-dotted line X2 in Figure 2) is connected to the server 60B.

[0021] A partition plate 23 is provided between the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B, separating at least a portion of the boundary between the first space 11 and the second space 12. In the example shown in Figures 2 and 3, the partition plate 23 is provided in the lower region of the boundary between the first space 11 and the second space 12, where the shelf section 21 is installed.

[0022] The height of the partition plate 23 may be adjustable depending on the number of shelves 21 installed in the first rack 100 or the number of storage batteries 61 stored in the first rack 100. For example, the partition plate 23 is divided into multiple plates having heights corresponding to the heights of individual shelves 21, and the number and location of the multiple plates constituting the partition plate 23 may be changed depending on the number and location of shelves 21 installed in the first rack 100, or the number and location of storage batteries 61 stored in the first rack 100. For example, in Figure 3, storage batteries 61 are placed on the lower six shelves 21 out of eight shelves 21. In such a case, for example, the number of plates is adjusted so that the height of the partition plate 23 matches the height of the six shelves 21 on which the storage batteries 61 are placed.

[0023] Furthermore, the first rack 100 is further equipped with a side panel 24 provided on the side adjacent to the second rack 200 (the left side in the example shown in Figures 2 and 3). By separating the first rack 100 and the second rack 200 with the side panel 24 in this way, security can be enhanced and the seismic resistance of the first rack 100 can be improved.

[0024] The side panel 24 has an opening 25 through which a power supply line 32, which is an example of a connection line from the storage battery 61, can be inserted. In the example shown in Figure 2, the opening 25 is formed such that, in a side view, the lower four of the eight stacked shelves 21 are exposed through the opening 25.

[0025] The position and size of the opening 25 are not limited to those shown in Figure 2. For example, the opening 25 may be formed such that all eight shelf sections 21 are exposed through the opening 25 in a side view.

[0026] Furthermore, for example, if an exhaust fan or the like is provided on the front or rear side of the first rack 100 on the facility side where the first rack 100 is installed, perforated doors or the like are attached to the front and rear of the first rack 100. If an exhaust fan or the like is not provided on the facility side, in order to improve ventilation inside the first rack 100, a fan-equipped door or the like is attached to the front or rear side of the first rack 100 instead of perforated doors.

[0027] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 2, the side of the second rack 200 that faces the first rack 100, i.e., the right side of the second rack 200, does not have a side panel. This reduces the number of parts. Alternatively, instead of providing a side panel 24 on the left side of the first rack 100, the side panel 24 could be provided on the right side of the second rack 200.

[0028] [Shelf configuration] (Configuration overview) Figures 4 and 5 are enlarged perspective views showing the configuration of the shelf section 21 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the shelf section 21 includes a plurality of mounting plates on which the storage battery 61 is placed. More specifically, the shelf section 21 is composed of three plate members: an upper plate 41 and a lower plate 42, which are mounting plates, and a side plate 43 provided between the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42, and has a roughly U-shaped cross-section.

[0029] The upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42 each extend in the front-rear direction and are attached to the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B shown in Figure 3. The side plate 43 extends in the vertical direction and is attached so as to span between the front left support column (hereinafter referred to as the "first support column") 26 and the rear left support column (hereinafter referred to as the "second support column") 27 of the first rack 100 shown in Figure 3.

[0030] Thus, by having side plates 43 in addition to the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42 in the shelf section 21, the seismic resistance of the first rack 100 can be improved and the strength of the shelf section 21 can be increased. Furthermore, because there are two mounting plates on which the storage batteries 61 are placed, the number of storage batteries 61 that can be placed on one shelf section 21 can be increased, and the number of parts and the number of steps required to install the shelf section 21 can be reduced.

[0031] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the top plate 41 has one or more top plate openings (wiring holes) 45. The bottom plate 42 has one or more bottom plate openings (wiring holes) 46. The side plate 43 has one or more side plate openings (wiring holes) 47. In Figures 4 and 5, as an example, four top plate openings 45, four bottom plate openings 46, and three side plate openings 47 are formed.

[0032] Furthermore, a notch 44 is formed at the rear of the shelf section 21. That is, the length in the front-to-back direction of a portion of the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42 is shorter than the length in the front-to-back direction of the side plate 43.

[0033] (Fitting of the shelf section with the first and second support columns) At the upper end of the side plate 43, a first upper groove 51 is formed near the front end, and a second upper groove 52 is formed near the rear end. At the lower end of the side plate 43, a first lower groove 53 is formed near the front end, and a second lower groove 54 is formed near the rear end.

[0034] Furthermore, a first opening 55 is formed near the front end of the side plate 43, connecting the first upper groove 51 and the first lower groove 53. Also, a second opening 56 is formed near the rear end of the side plate 43, connecting the second upper groove 52 and the second lower groove 54.

[0035] Then, with the shelf section 21 attached to the front mounting angle 22A and rear mounting angle 22B shown in Figure 3, a protrusion (not shown) provided vertically on the first support column 26 of the first rack 100 fits into the first upper groove 51, first opening 55, and first lower groove 53 of the shelf section 21 shown in Figure 4. Also, in this state, a protrusion (not shown) provided vertically on the second support column 27 of the first rack 100 fits into the second upper groove 52, second opening 56, and second lower groove 54 of the shelf section 21 shown in Figure 4.

[0036] The shelf 21 is then fixed to the first support column 26 by attaching fixing members such as screws to the holes 51a formed in the first upper groove 51 and the holes 53a formed in the first lower groove 53. The shelf 21 is also fixed to the second support column 27 by attaching fixing members such as screws to the holes 52a formed in the second upper groove 52 and the holes 54a formed in the second lower groove 54.

[0037] Furthermore, the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42 of the shelf section 21 are fixed to the front mounting angle 22A and the rear mounting angle 22B, for example, by fastening members such as screws. This allows the shelf section 21 to be stably attached to the first rack 100.

[0038] With the fixing members removed, the vertical position of the shelf 21 can be changed by sliding it vertically while it is fitted onto the first support column 26 and the second support column 27.

[0039] (Positional relationship between the shelf and the power outlet bar) Figure 6 is a perspective view of the first rack 100 shown in Figure 1, with multiple shelves 21 provided, as seen from the rear right side of the first rack 100. As shown in Figure 6, for example, a power outlet bar 63 extending in the vertical direction is provided on the rear side of the interior of the first rack 100.

[0040] As described above, since each shelf section 21 has a notch 44 (see Figure 5), when the first rack 100 has multiple shelf sections 21, a space is formed in the vertical direction near these multiple shelf sections 21. Therefore, the outlet bar 63 can be positioned so as to pass through this space. In other words, interference between the shelf sections 21 and the outlet bar 63 can be avoided, and the outlet bar 63 can be positioned near the storage battery 61.

[0041] Note that the notches 44 shown in Figure 5 are not limited to being formed at the rear of the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42, but may also be formed at the front of the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42, or on both the front and rear sides. If the notches 44 are formed on both the front and rear sides of the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42, the shelf section 21 can be used even if its top and bottom are reversed, thereby improving workability.

[0042] (Installation and wiring of the battery on the shelf) Figure 7 shows an example of a state in which a storage battery 61 is placed on the shelf section 21 shown in Figure 4. The shelf section 21 shown in Figure 7 is, for example, the uppermost shelf section 21 among the eight shelf sections 21 shown in Figure 2, as viewed from above. As shown in Figure 7, each of the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42 (see Figure 4) of the shelf section 21 has an area capable of accommodating multiple storage batteries 61. For example, the shelf section 21 can accommodate up to four storage batteries 61 on each of the upper plate 41 and lower plate 42.

[0043] Furthermore, when two storage batteries 61 are placed on the upper plate 41 and the lower plate 42, it is preferable to arrange these two storage batteries 61 in a staggered pattern, as shown in Figure 7. That is, it is preferable to arrange the two storage batteries 61 so that their positions are offset from each other in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions. This ensures airflow from the front to the rear of the storage batteries 61, allowing for effective cooling and thus improving heat dissipation.

[0044] In the example shown in Figure 7, the first battery 61A, located on the front left side (lower left side on the page), and the second battery 61B, located on the rear right side (upper right side on the page), are arranged in a staggered pattern. For example, in each of the eight shelf sections 21 shown in Figure 2, the first battery 61A and the second battery 61B are arranged in a staggered pattern on the upper 41 and lower 42, as shown in Figure 7.

[0045] For example, in the case of connection lines from each battery 61 placed on the upper four shelves 21 of the eight shelves 21 shown in Figure 2, a power supply line 31 for supplying power from the battery 61 to other equipment is inserted through an upper plate opening 45 or lower plate opening 46 located near the left and right sides of each battery 61 and wired to the server 60A shown in Figure 2. In this way, the upper plate opening 45 of the upper plate 41 and the lower plate opening 46 of the lower plate 42 are formed, making it easy to guide the power supply line 31 from the battery 61 to the server 60A.

[0046] Furthermore, for example, power supply lines 32 from each of the four storage batteries 61 placed on the lower shelf sections 21 are routed through the side panel opening 47 shown in Figure 4 and through the opening 25 shown in Figure 2 to the server 60B.

[0047] In the example described above, power supply lines 31 from the batteries 61 located in the four upper shelves 21 are connected to the server 60A, and an example of connection lines from the batteries 61 located in the four lower shelves 21 is described, in which power supply lines 32 for supplying power from the batteries 61 to other devices are connected to the server 60B. However, the relationship between the power supply lines 31 and 32 from each battery 61 and the servers 60A and 60B is not limited to the above. For example, each of the eight shelves 21 may be equipped with both a battery 61 that supplies power to the server 60A and a battery 61 that supplies power to the server 60B.

[0048] Furthermore, the connection lines from the battery 61 are not limited to power supply lines 31 and 32. For example, the connection lines from the battery 61 may be power lines used to supply power from an external power source to the battery 61, or to exchange power between multiple batteries 61. Alternatively, the connection lines from the battery 61 may be communication lines used to send and receive monitoring information, control information, etc., between electrical equipment, communication equipment, external devices, and the battery 61.

[0049] Furthermore, the number of storage batteries 61 placed on each shelf section 21 may be one. Also, the number of shelf sections 21 provided in the first space 11 is not limited to eight. In addition, storage batteries 61 may be placed on only some of the multiple shelf sections 21 provided in the space of the first space 11.

[0050] Furthermore, the position, number, shape, and size of the upper plate opening 45, lower plate opening 46, and side plate opening 47 of the shelf section 21 shown in Figure 4 are not limited to the configuration shown in Figure 4. However, as shown in Figure 4, if multiple upper plate openings 45 are formed in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions of the upper plate 41, and multiple lower plate openings 46 are formed in the front-to-back and left-to-right directions of the lower plate 42, the degree of freedom for mounting and wiring the storage battery 61 can be increased.

[0051] [Differentiation] The configuration of the electrical equipment storage rack (hereinafter referred to as the "first rack") 101 according to a modified version of the present disclosure will be described below. Figure 8 is a front view showing the configuration of the first rack 101 according to a modified version of the present disclosure. In Figure 8, in addition to the first rack 101, other electrical equipment storage racks 200 and 300 are shown. Hereinafter, the other electrical equipment storage rack 200 will be referred to as the "second rack," and the other electrical equipment storage rack 300 will be referred to as the "third rack."

[0052] As described above, in the first rack 100 shown in Figure 1, the mounting angle 22 on which the shelf section 21 can be installed is provided to the left of the center in the left-right direction. In contrast, in the modified first rack 101, a first mounting angle 22 is provided to the left of the center in the left-right direction, and a second mounting angle 22 is provided to the right of the center.

[0053] The first mounting angle 22, located on the left side, includes a front mounting angle 22A located at the front and a rear mounting angle 22B (not shown in Figure 8), similar to the mounting angle 22 shown in Figure 3. Similarly, the second mounting angle 22, located on the right side, also includes a front mounting angle 22A located at the front and a rear mounting angle 22B (not shown in Figure 8), similar to the mounting angle 22 shown in Figure 3.

[0054] In other words, the internal space of the first rack 101 has a first space 11 on both the left and right sides where the storage battery 61 is housed. The left first space 11 houses multiple shelves (second shelves) 21 on the left side of the first rack 101. The right first space 11 houses multiple shelves (first shelves) 21 on the right side of the first rack 101.

[0055] Furthermore, a second rack 200 is positioned adjacent to the left of the first rack 101, and a third rack 300 is positioned adjacent to the right of the first rack 101. Both the second rack 200 and the third rack 300 have the same configuration as the second rack 200 shown in Figure 1, and are storage racks that do not have space to house the battery 61. In addition, servers 60B and 60C, which are examples of electrical equipment, are housed inside the second rack 200 and the third rack 300, respectively.

[0056] As described above, batteries 61 can be installed on both the left and right sides inside the first rack 101. Therefore, power from the battery 61 located in the first space 11 on the left side of the first rack 101 can be supplied to the server 60B housed in the second rack 200. In addition, power from the battery 61 located in the first space 11 on the right side of the first rack 101 can be supplied to the server 60C housed in the third rack 300.

[0057] Alternatively, three electrical equipment storage racks may be arranged side by side without using the modified first rack 101. Figure 9 is a perspective view showing a state in which, in addition to the first rack 100 and second rack 200 shown in Figure 1, yet another first rack 100 is placed.

[0058] For example, as shown in Figure 9, a second rack 200 containing server 60B may be placed adjacent to the left side of the first rack 100 containing server 60A shown in Figure 1, and further, a first rack 100 containing server 60C may be placed adjacent to the right side of the first rack 100. This makes it possible to arrange three electrical equipment storage racks side by side using the first rack 100 shown in Figure 1.

[0059] As described above, the first rack 100 according to this embodiment is An electrical equipment storage rack capable of housing a server 60A, A mounting angle 22 is provided inside the first rack 100, It includes a shelf section 21 on which a battery 61 that supplies power to the server 60A is mounted, which is installed on the mounting angle 22, The internal space of the first rack 100 is A shelf section 21 is arranged in a first space 11 capable of housing a storage battery 61, The unit does not have a shelf section 21, and has a second space 12 capable of housing a server 60A.

[0060] This configuration allows the server 60A and the battery 61 to be integrated into a single storage rack, thus reducing the space required for the storage rack compared to having separate storage racks for the battery 61 and the server 60A.

[0061] Furthermore, the first rack 100 according to this embodiment further includes a partition plate 23 provided at the boundary between the first space 11 and the second space 12.

[0062] This configuration allows for a clear separation between the first space 11 and the second space 12.

[0063] Furthermore, in the first rack 100 according to this embodiment, The mounting angle 22 includes a front mounting angle 22A provided in front of the first rack 100 and a rear mounting angle 22B provided behind the first rack 100. The shelf section 21 is Mounting plates (upper plate 41 and lower plate 42) extending in the front-rear direction and attached to the front mounting angle 22A and rear mounting angle 22B, on which the storage battery 61 is mounted, It includes a side plate 43 that extends in the vertical direction.

[0064] This configuration improves the seismic resistance of the first rack 100 and increases the strength of the shelf section 21.

[0065] Furthermore, in the first rack 100 according to this embodiment, The side panel 43 has a side panel opening 47 through which power supply lines 31 and 32 from the storage battery 61 can be inserted.

[0066] This configuration makes it easier to route power supply lines 31 and 32 from the battery 61 to servers 60A and 60B.

[0067] Furthermore, in the first rack 100 according to this embodiment, The shelf section 21 has mounting plates (upper plate 41 and lower plate 42) on which the storage battery 61 is placed, and these plates have wiring holes (upper plate opening 45 and lower plate opening 46) through which power supply lines 31 and 32 from the storage battery 61 can be inserted.

[0068] This configuration makes it easier to route power supply lines 31 and 32 from the battery 61 to servers 60A and 60B.

[0069] Furthermore, in the first rack 100 according to this embodiment, the shelf section 21 includes a plurality of mounting plates on which the storage battery 61 is placed.

[0070] This configuration allows multiple storage batteries 61 to be placed on a single shelf unit 21, thereby reducing the number of parts and the labor required to install the shelf unit 21.

[0071] Furthermore, the first rack 100 according to this embodiment further includes a power outlet bar 63 extending in the vertical direction. The shelf section 21 extends in the front-to-back direction of the first rack 100, The shelf section 21 has a notch 44 through which the power outlet bar 63 can be inserted.

[0072] This configuration avoids interference between the shelf 21 and the outlet bar 63, and allows the outlet bar 63 to be positioned close to the battery 61.

[0073] Furthermore, in the first rack 100 according to this embodiment, The mounting angle 22 is positioned to the left or right of the center in the left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the first rack 100 when viewed from above. If the mounting angle 22 is located to the left of the center, the shelf section 21 is installed to the left of the mounting angle 22. If the mounting angle 22 is positioned to the right of the center, the shelf section 21 will be installed to the right of the mounting angle 22.

[0076] In this way, by providing side panels 24 on the sides of the first rack 100, seismic resistance can be improved. Furthermore, because openings 25 are formed in the side panels 24, it is easier to route the power supply lines 31 and 32 from the battery 61 housed in the first rack 100 to the server 60B housed in the second rack 200.

[0077] Furthermore, in the first rack 101 according to a modified example of this embodiment, Mount Angle 22 is, In a top view, the first mounting angle is provided to the right of the center in the left-right direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction of the first rack 101, In a top view, it includes a second mounting angle located to the left of the center in the left-right direction, The shelf section 21 is A first shelf section 21 is installed to the right of the first mounting angle, It includes a second shelf section 21 installed to the left of the second mounting angle.

[0078] With this configuration, the storage batteries 61 can be placed on both the left and right sides of the internal space of the modified first rack 101. Therefore, by placing the second rack 200 adjacent to the left side of the first rack 101, the storage batteries 61 housed on the left side of the first rack 101 and the second rack 200 can be brought closer together, allowing power from the storage batteries 61 to be supplied to the server 60B mounted on the second rack 200.

[0079] Furthermore, by placing a third rack 300 adjacent to the right side of the first rack 101, the battery 61 on the right side of the first rack 101 and the third rack 300 can be brought closer together, allowing power from the battery 61 to be supplied to the server 60C mounted in the third rack 300.
