Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of data centers, and in particular to a modular data center module and its modular data center. [Background technology]

[0002] With the development of technology, the demand for data centers is rapidly increasing, and currently there are two main methods for constructing data centers: the first is the concrete construction method, which is a method of directly constructing data centers on-site using building materials such as concrete, and the second is the modular construction method, which is a method of directly installing modular data center units.

[0003] The modular construction method for data centers has a short construction period, taking only one-third of the time required for a concrete-built data center. At the same time, most of the work on modular data centers can be completed before shipping, so the quality of modular data centers is also high, which is why modular data centers are gaining more and more support from customers.

[0004] However, modular data centers are manufactured in factories and then transported to their intended locations. Because modular data center modules must be transported, their size can be affected by bridge and tunnel height restrictions. Currently, the most common height restrictions are 5m or 4.5m, making the currently most widely used modular data center size 4.2m.

[0005] Therefore, modular data centers are subject to the transportation environment and are difficult to expand in size, making it difficult for modular data centers to meet the needs of enterprises. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present invention aims to provide a modular data center module and a modular data center thereof, and to increase the size of the final modular data center so that the final modular data center can meet the needs of enterprises, while ensuring that the modular data center can be transported normally. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] With the above technical solution, the first module is mainly used to install data center cabinets, and the second module is mainly used for wiring racks and electrical equipment. When the first module and the second module are connected, a quick connection cable can be used to quickly connect the cabinet in the first module with the wiring racks and electrical equipment in the second module, thereby fulfilling the basic functions of the combined structure data center module. Furthermore, because the first module and the second module are detachably connected, the first module and the second module can be produced and transported independently. After transportation, the first module and the second module are attached together. This allows the height of both the first module and the second module to reach a maximum of 4.2 meters. Furthermore, the height of the combined structure data center module formed by splicing the first module and the second module can exceed the 4.2 meter limit, allowing the height of the combined structure data center module to be increased to meet the needs of more enterprises.

[0021] A modular data center equipped with the above-mentioned combined structure data center module, wherein a plurality of the combined structure data center modules are provided, the combined structure data center modules are stacked in order vertically, and two adjacent combined structure data center modules are detachably connected.

[0022] By using the above technical solution, multiple interconnected structure data center modules can be stacked vertically to increase the height of the final data center and expand the space of the final data center.

[0023] Optionally, two adjacent said interconnected structure data center modules are also provided with said connection components.

[0035] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to FIGS.

[0036] Example 1: Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the data center module is a combined structure comprising a first module 1 and a second module 2 located above the first module 1, where the upper side of the first module 1 is connected to the lower side of the second module 2, and the second module 2 and the first module 1 are detachably connected.

[0037] 1 and 2, the first module 1 is mainly used to install a data center cabinet 11, which in the present invention is specifically a central cabinet or a server. The second module 2 is mainly used to install wire racks and electrical equipment 21. When the first module 1 and the second module 2 are connected, a quick connection cable 22 can be used to quickly connect the cabinet 11 in the first module 1 to the wire racks and electrical equipment 21 in the second module 2, thereby fulfilling the basic functions of the combined structure data center module 100. Furthermore, because the first module 1 and the second module 2 are detachably connected, the first module 1 and the second module 2 can be produced and transported independently. After transportation, the first module 1 and the second module 2 are attached together, allowing the heights of the first module 1 and the second module 2 to reach a maximum of 4.2 m. Furthermore, the height of the entire combined structure data center module 100 formed by splicing the first module 1 and the second module 2 together can exceed the 4.2 m limit, allowing the combined structure data center module 100 to be taller and meet the needs of more companies.

[0038] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the first module 1 includes a base, each of whose side walls is provided with a first support, on which plates such as protective panels can be attached. The first support is located above the base, and is vertically oriented. Each of the first support is connected to a corresponding first support on both sides in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the first module 1 is a box with an open top. The second module 2 includes an end frame, each of whose side walls is provided with a second support, on which plates such as protective panels can be attached. The second support is located below the end frame, and is vertically oriented. Each of the second support is connected to a corresponding second support on both sides in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the second module 2 is a box with an open bottom. Therefore, after the first module 1 and the second module 2 are vertically installed, the space between the first module 1 and the second module 2 can be completely filled, thereby meeting the requirements of a data center.

[0039] 1 and 3, a first stopper 3 is provided on the upper side of first module 1, and first stopper 3 includes a plurality of first blend stops 31. The number of first blend stops 31 depends on the shape of first module 1. Because the upper surface of first module 1 in the present invention is rectangular, there are four first blend stops 31, and the four first blend stops 31 are formed in an annular shape. A second stopper 4 is provided on the lower side of second module 2, and second stopper 4 includes a plurality of second blend stops 41. The second blend stops 41 correspond one-to-one to the first blend stops 31, and the second blend stops 41 are located above the first blend stops 31 in the vertical direction. The second stopper 4 is fitted onto the outside of first stopper 3.

[0040] 1 and 3, when the first module 1 and the second module 2 are connected vertically, the upper side of the first stopper 3 abuts against the second module 2, and the lower side of the second stopper 4 abuts against the first module 1. Therefore, at this time, the first stopper 3 and the second stopper 4 perform a waterproof seal in the gap between the first module 1 and the second module 2.

[0041] 1 and 3, in this embodiment, a steel rod is used as the first stopper 3, and the second stopper 4 may be made of a steel rod or other elastic material such as rubber. If the second stopper 4 is made of an elastic material, the elastic deformation of the second stopper 4 itself can increase the waterproof seal between the first module 1 and the second module 2.

[0042] Alternatively, the first stopper 3 and the second stopper 4 can be integrally molded and manufactured using steel plate or elastic material such as rubber, and then attached between the first module 1 and the second module 2 by bolts and positioning pins to achieve sealing between the first module 1 and the second module 2.

[0043] 1 and 4, a connection component 5 is further provided between the first module 1 and the second module 2. As shown in FIG.

[0044] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the connection component 5 has multiple connection boards 51, and the number of connection boards 51 is related to the shape of the first module 1. Since the first module 1 in the present invention is rectangular, there are four connection boards 51, and the four connection boards 51 are located at the four corner positions of the sides of the first module 1, respectively.

[0045] 4 and 5, a connection board 51 is provided with a positioning component 52, which is vertically disposed, with the upper end of the positioning component 52 protruding from the upper side of the connection board 51 and the lower end of the positioning component 52 protruding from the lower side of the connection board 51. A plurality of first positioning holes 53 are formed in the upper surface of the first module 1, and a plurality of second positioning holes 54 are formed in the lower side of the second module 2, with the first positioning holes 53 and the second positioning components 52 being provided in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0046] 4 and 5, when the first module 1 and the second module 2 are connected vertically, the upper ends of the positioning components 52 are mated and fitted into the corresponding second positioning holes 54, and the lower ends of the positioning components 52 are mated and fitted into the corresponding first positioning holes 53. Therefore, by installing the positioning components 52, it is possible to achieve positioning and attachment between the first module 1 and the second module 2.

[0047] 4 and 5, connection board 51 has through-holes 55 drilled in the vertical direction, first bolt holes 56 formed on the upper side of first module 1, and second bolt holes 57 formed on the lower side of second module 2, with first bolt holes 56, through-holes 55, and second bolt holes 57 being provided in one-to-one correspondence. Also, a plurality of first bolt holes 56, through-holes 55, and second bolt holes 57 may be drilled according to actual needs.

[0048] 4 and 5, when the first module 1 and the second module 2 are connected in the vertical direction, the first bolt hole 56, the through hole 55, and the second bolt hole 57 communicate in the vertical direction. In this case, a connection bolt 58 is inserted into the first bolt hole 56, and the connection bolt 58 is inserted into the corresponding through hole 55 in the vertical direction and the corresponding second bolt hole 57. Therefore, the first module 1 and the second module 2 can be connected.

[0049] In addition to the above-mentioned connection components 5, multiple bolts and multiple positioning pins can be provided between the first module 1 and the second module 2 according to actual needs, thereby increasing the stability of the connection between the first module 1 and the second module 2 and the accuracy of the installation positioning.

[0050] Implementation principle of the embodiment of the present invention: The combined structure data center module 100 can be vertically divided into independent units such as a first module 1 and a second module 2, and the first module 1 and the second module 2 can be spliced ​​together by a connection component 5 to form a complete whole.

[0051] Therefore, the height of both the first module 1 and the second module 2 can reach a maximum of 4.2m. Furthermore, the height of the entire combined structure data center module formed by splicing the first module 1 and the second module 2 can exceed the 4.2m limit, allowing the combined structure data center module to be taller and meet the needs of more companies.

[0052] Referring to Figure 6, a modular data center comprises a plurality of interconnected structure data center modules 100, which are stacked vertically, and two adjacent interconnected structure data center modules 100 are connected by a connection component 5.

[0053] Implementation principle of the embodiment of the present invention: By stacking multiple interconnected structure data center modules 100 vertically using the connection components 5, the space of the entire data center can be expanded, and the height of the final combined data center can be made higher to meet the needs of more enterprises.

[0054] Example 2: Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the difference between this embodiment and Example 1 in the modular data center is that in addition to stacking multiple interconnected structure data center modules 100 vertically, multiple interconnected structure data center modules 100 are also spliced ​​horizontally.

[0055] 7 and 9, two adjacent connection boards 51 of two adjacent combined structure data center modules 100 are connected as a whole.

[0056] The implementation principle of the embodiment of the present invention: First, by increasing the number of interconnected structure data center modules 100 in the horizontal direction, the final data center space becomes larger, which can meet the needs of more enterprises.

[0057] Next, two adjacent connection boards 51 are connected as a whole, so that two horizontally adjacent combined structure data center modules 100 can be connected.

The same components are designated by the same reference numerals. Therefore, any equivalent modifications based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
