Electromechanical stability evaluation device for data center construction

Abstract

An electromechanical stability evaluation device for data center construction, comprising a plurality of take-up mechanisms (4) fixed to a cabinet (1) and corresponding to wires (6) on the cabinet (1) on a one-to-one basis, the take-up mechanisms (4) being respectively used to take up free ends of corresponding wires (6). Each take-up mechanism (4) comprises a bracket fixed to the cabinet (1), a take-up spool (402) rotatably connected to the bracket, a take-up cavity (4026) which is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the take-up spool (402) and around which a corresponding wire is wound, and a driving mechanism (403) used to drive the take-up spool (402) to rotate so as to take up the corresponding wire (6). The driving mechanism (403) comprises a driving electric motor (4031), a first transmission member, and a second transmission member, wherein the driving electric motor (4031) is fixed to the bracket; the first transmission member is arranged on an output shaft of the driving electric motor (4031); and the second transmission member is arranged on the take-up spool (402) and abuts against the first transmission member. The driving electric motor (4031) drives the first transmission member to rotate, thereby causing the second transmission member to rotate by means of a contact friction force between the first transmission member and the second transmission member, such that the take-up spool (402) is driven to rotate and take up the free end of the corresponding wire (6), wherein the contact friction force is less than rotational resistance exerted to the take-up spool (402) by the wire (6) when tensioned during the take-up process. The electromechanical stability evaluation device for data center construction prevents the free ends of the wires from being placed and distributed disorderly. Moreover, when a wire is tensioned during the take-up process, the rotational resistance exerted to the take-up spool is greater than the contact friction force between the first transmission member and the second transmission member, such that the rotating first transmission member slips and cannot cause the second transmission member to rotate, thereby preventing the wire from being pulled apart.

Description

Electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of data center construction technology, and specifically relates to a device for evaluating the electromechanical stability of data center construction. Background Technology

[0002] A data center is a building that provides an operating environment for centrally located electronic information equipment. It centrally stores, computes, and exchanges data, and is the core infrastructure underlying cloud computing. A data center includes IT computing power equipment, represented by servers, as well as basic support facilities to ensure the normal operation of IT equipment, such as power supply and distribution systems and cooling systems.

[0003] Towards the end of the data center's construction, periodic operational data collection is required for its power distribution system, cooling system, and other electromechanical equipment. The stability of the equipment is then assessed based on the collected data, and it can only be put into formal use once the assessment results meet expectations.

[0004] Currently, devices used for stability assessment of data center electromechanical equipment mainly consist of a chassis, an assessment host, a data acquisition unit, and several acquisition probes (sensors) electrically connected to the data acquisition unit via wires. Generally, the end of the wire connected to the acquisition probe is the free end, and the end connected to the data acquisition unit is the fixed end. Due to the large number of acquisition probes, the free ends of the wires are scattered and difficult to organize, often making it difficult to distinguish the equipment or parameters corresponding to each probe, which needs improvement. Therefore, we propose a data center construction electromechanical stability assessment device to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a device for assessing the electromechanical stability of data center construction, which solves the issues of messy distribution and difficulty in organizing the free ends of wires.

[0006] This invention is achieved through the following solution: a data center construction electromechanical stability assessment device, comprising:

[0007] Multiple winding mechanisms, fixed to the chassis and corresponding one-to-one with the wires on the chassis, are used to wind up the free ends of the corresponding wires.

[0008] The winding mechanism includes a bracket fixed to the chassis, a winding wheel rotatably connected to the bracket, a winding cavity formed on the outer circumferential surface of the winding wheel for winding the corresponding wire, and a drive mechanism for driving the winding wheel to rotate to wind the corresponding wire.

[0009] The driving mechanism includes a drive motor, a first transmission component, and a second transmission component. The drive motor is fixed on a bracket. The first transmission component is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor. The second transmission component is disposed on a take-up reel and abuts against the first transmission component. The drive motor drives the first transmission component to rotate, and then drives the second transmission component to rotate through the contact friction between the first and second transmission components, so as to drive the take-up reel to rotate and take up the free end of the corresponding wire. The contact friction is less than the rotational resistance experienced by the take-up reel when the wire is wound and taut.

[0010] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the bracket includes two support plates fixed to the chassis and spaced apart, and the drive motor is fixed to one of the two support plates;

[0011] The take-up reel includes two baffles that are rotatably connected to two support plates, and a winding tube fixed between the two baffles. The outer periphery of the winding tube and the two baffles enclose the take-up cavity.

[0012] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the winding wheel further includes an inner plate fixed inside the winding tube, and the inner plate, together with a baffle on the side near the drive motor and the winding tube, forms a drive cavity. The output shaft of the drive motor is provided with a transmission shaft that passes through the baffle and is rotatably connected to the baffle. The first end of the transmission shaft is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the second end extends into the drive cavity. The first transmission component is disposed on the transmission shaft, and the second transmission component is fixed on the inner plate.

[0013] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that a sleeve is connected to the second end of the transmission shaft, and the first transmission component is fixed to the side of the sleeve facing the inner plate.

[0014] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the center of the sleeve has a through-hole, and the sleeve is movably connected to the second end of the transmission shaft through the through-hole. An elastic element for adjusting the distance between the first transmission element and the second transmission element is connected between the baffle on the side near the drive motor and the sleeve. A guide structure for constraining the sleeve to move only axially is provided between the transmission shaft and the sleeve in cooperation with the elastic element.

[0015] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the guiding structure includes at least one guide groove disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the transmission shaft located in the drive cavity and at least one guide block fixed on the inner wall of the opening and respectively embedded in at least one guide groove.

[0016] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the elastic element includes a first retaining ring fixed on the sleeve, a second retaining ring rotatably connected to the baffle, and a spring connecting the first retaining ring and the second retaining ring.

[0017] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the assessment device further includes multiple guide frames fixed on the chassis, and the multiple guide frames are respectively used to guide the wires wound by multiple winding mechanisms.

[0018] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the guide frame includes a guide plate fixed to the chassis and a guide hole passing through the end of the guide plate away from the chassis and providing a winding path for the wires to pass through and constrain the wires passing through.

[0019] A further improvement of the electromechanical stability assessment device for data center construction of the present invention is that the first transmission component includes a plurality of blocks arranged in a ring around the output shaft of the drive motor on the sleeve, and the second transmission component includes a plurality of spheres corresponding to the plurality of blocks respectively, and the two sides of the blocks facing the adjacent two blocks are all set as arc surfaces.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0021] This invention drives a first transmission component to rotate via a drive mechanism, which in turn drives a second transmission component to rotate through the contact friction between the two components. This, in turn, drives a winding wheel to rotate and wind up the free ends of the wire to be wound. This avoids the free ends of the wire being scattered and makes it easier to organize and distinguish them for use. When the wire is wound up and taut, the rotational resistance experienced by the winding wheel is greater than the contact friction between the first and second transmission components. As a result, the rotating first transmission component will slip and will not drive the second transmission component to rotate, thus preventing the wire from being torn. This invention has good practical effect. Attached Figure Description

[0029] To address the problem of messy and difficult-to-manage free ends of conductors, this invention provides a device for assessing the electromechanical stability of data center construction. The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, further illustrates this device.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1 to 6, a data center construction electromechanical stability assessment device includes:

[0031] Multiple winding mechanisms 4, fixed to the chassis 1 and corresponding one-to-one with the wires 6 on the chassis 1, are used to wind up the free ends of the corresponding wires 6.

[0032] The winding mechanism 4 includes a bracket fixed to the housing 1, a winding wheel 402 rotatably connected to the bracket, a winding cavity 4026 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the winding wheel 402 for winding the corresponding wire 6, and a drive mechanism 403 for driving the winding wheel 402 to rotate to wind the corresponding wire 6.

[0033] The drive mechanism 403 includes a drive motor 4031, a first transmission component, and a second transmission component. The drive motor 4031 is fixed on a bracket. The first transmission component is disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 4031. The second transmission component is disposed on the take-up reel 402 and abuts against the first transmission component. The drive motor 4031 drives the first transmission component to rotate, and then drives the second transmission component to rotate through the contact friction between the first transmission component and the second transmission component, so as to drive the take-up reel 402 to rotate and take up the free end of the corresponding wire 6. The contact friction is less than the rotational resistance experienced by the take-up reel 402 when the wire 6 is wound up and tightened.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 1, the top of the chassis 1 is provided with the evaluation host 3; the bottom of the chassis 1 is provided with casters 2, which can be omnidirectional wheels to facilitate the movement of the entire evaluation device; the drive motor 4031 can be a geared motor.

[0035] The first transmission component is driven to rotate by the drive motor 4031. The contact friction between the first and second transmission components causes the rotating first transmission component to drive the second transmission component to rotate, thereby driving the winding wheel 402 to rotate. This winds the free end of the wire 6 into the winding cavity 4026, preventing the free end of the wire 6 from being scattered and making it easier to organize and distinguish for use. When the wire 6 is wound up to tension, the rotational resistance of the winding wheel 402 is greater than the contact friction between the first and second transmission components. Therefore, the rotating first transmission component will not drive the second transmission component to rotate, thus preventing the wire 6 from being torn. This has a good practical effect.

[0036] Referring to Figures 2-3, the bracket includes two support plates 401 fixed to the chassis 1 and spaced apart, and the drive motor 4031 is fixed to one of the support plates 401.

[0037] The take-up reel 402 includes two baffles 4021 that are rotatably connected to two support plates 401 respectively, and a winding tube 4022 fixed between the two baffles 4021. The outer periphery of the winding tube 4022 and the two baffles 4021 enclose a take-up cavity 4026.

[0038] By adopting the above configuration, the two support plates 401 provide stable support for the winding wheel 402. When the winding wheel 402 is driven to rotate by the drive motor 4031, the wire 6 can be wound up stably, resulting in good installation stability.

[0039] Referring to Figures 3-4, the take-up reel 402 also includes an inner plate 4023 fixed inside the winding tube 4022. The inner plate 4023, together with the baffle 4021 on the side near the drive motor 4031 and the winding tube 4022, forms a drive cavity 4025. The output shaft of the drive motor 4031 is provided with a transmission shaft 4032 that passes through the baffle 4021 and is rotatably connected to the baffle 4021. The first end of the transmission shaft 4032 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 4031, and the second end extends into the drive cavity 4025. A first transmission member is disposed on the transmission shaft 4032, and a second transmission member is fixed on the inner plate 4023. The drive motor 4031 drives the transmission shaft 4032 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission member to rotate, and then driving the second transmission member to drive the take-up reel 402 to rotate to wind / unwind the wire 6.

[0040] Specifically, referring to Figure 3, in this embodiment, the inner plate 4023 divides the coil tube 4022 into two cavities, one of which is the driving cavity 4025 and the other is the connecting cavity 4027.

[0041] Further, referring to Figure 3, the winding tube 4022 has a connecting port 4028 for connecting the connecting cavity 4027 and the take-up cavity 4026. The baffle 4021 near the connecting cavity 4027 has a movable port 4029, and the center line of the movable port 4029 is consistent with the center line of the output shaft of the drive motor 4031. The fixed end of the wire 6 is provided with a conductive slip ring 8 that passes through the movable port 4029. The conductive slip ring 8 is electrically connected to the data acquisition device through a data line. The free end of the wire 6 passes through the movable port 4029, the connecting cavity 4027 and the connecting port 4028, and extends to the take-up cavity 4026.

[0042] The free end of the conductor 6 is wound up by the take-up roller 402. The presence of the conductive slip ring 8 can prevent the conductor 6 from twisting during rotation.

[0043] The second end of the drive shaft 4032 is connected to a sleeve 4033, and the first transmission component is fixed on the side of the sleeve 4033 facing the inner plate 4023. The drive shaft 4032 drives the sleeve 4033 to rotate, thereby driving the first transmission component to rotate.

[0044] Referring to Figure 4, the center of the sleeve 4033 has a through-hole 10, and the sleeve 4033 is movably connected to the second end of the transmission shaft 4032 through the through-hole 10. An elastic element for adjusting the distance between the first transmission element and the second transmission element is connected between the baffle 4021 near the drive motor 4031 and the sleeve 4033. A guide structure for constraining the sleeve 4033 to move only axially is provided between the transmission shaft 4032 and the sleeve 4033 in cooperation with the elastic element.

[0045] The guide structure includes at least one guide groove 4035 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the end of the drive shaft 4032 located in the drive cavity 4025, and at least one guide block 4036 fixed on the inner wall of the port 10 and embedded in at least one guide groove 4035.

[0046] The elastic element includes a first retaining ring 4038 fixed on the sleeve 4033, a second retaining ring 4037 rotatably connected to the baffle 4021, and a spring 4039 connecting the first retaining ring 4038 and the second retaining ring 4037.

[0047] By adopting the above design, the guide block 4036 slides in the guide groove 4035 to play a guiding role, which allows the sleeve 4033 to move along the length direction of the transmission shaft 4032. When the winding wheel 402 is subjected to rotational resistance greater than the contact friction between the first transmission member and the second transmission member, the rotating first transmission member will tend to push the sleeve 4033 to compress the spring 4039, which will finely adjust the distance between the sleeve 4033 and the inner plate 4023, thereby adjusting the contact friction between the first transmission member and the second transmission member and reducing the wear between the first transmission member and the second transmission member.

[0048] Referring to Figures 1-2, the evaluation device also includes multiple guide frames 5 fixed on the housing 1, and the multiple guide frames 5 are used to guide the wires 6 wound by the multiple winding mechanisms 4.

[0049] The guide frame 5 includes a guide plate 501 fixed to the chassis 1 and a guide hole 502 passing through the end of the guide plate 501 away from the chassis 1 and allowing the wire 6 to pass through and constraining the winding path of the wire 6.

[0050] Specifically, in this embodiment, referring to Figure 2, the guide plate 501 is located above the corresponding winding mechanism 4, and a limit ring 7 is provided at one end of the wire 6 that passes through the guide hole 502;

[0051] By adopting the above design, the winding wire 6 can be guided, avoiding the winding wire 6 from being crooked and messy. Furthermore, the setting of the limiting ring 7 can prevent the wire 6 from falling out of the guide hole 502, which is beneficial for the wire 6 to be stretched by pulling it through the limiting ring 7 during use.

[0052] The first transmission component includes multiple blocks 4034 arranged in a ring around the output shaft of the drive motor 4031, and the second transmission component includes multiple spheres 4024 corresponding to the multiple blocks 4034. Both sides of the blocks 4034 facing the adjacent blocks 4034 are set as arc surfaces.

[0053] Specifically, as shown in Figures 5-6, there are four blocks 4034 and four spheres 4024. An arc-shaped groove 9 is provided on the side of the block 4034 facing the sphere 4024.

[0054] By adopting the above design, when the constraint force on the winding wheel 402 is greater than the resistance between the stop 4034 and the ball 4024, the rotating stop 4034 can slide with the ball 4024 through the arc groove 9, thereby causing slippage, avoiding excessive wear at the connection and extending the service life.

[0055] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0056] The present invention has been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications to the present invention based on the above description. Therefore, certain details in the embodiments should not be construed as limiting the present invention, and the scope of protection of the present invention shall be defined by the appended claims.
