The sliding member is supported on a bottom of the receiving slot. The bottom of the receiving slot is spherical. The sliding member includes a block, to be engaged in the device. The bottom of the sliding member is spherical for mating with the bottom of the receiving slot. A container data center including the fore mentioned supporting apparatus is provided as well.

Description

Container data center and its supporting device

The invention relates to a container data center and its supporting device.

Container data centers are highly vulnerable to bumps during transportation. In addition, container-type data centers may be located in areas where earthquakes occur frequently. For example, in the Pacific Rim, bumps and vibrations can easily damage electronic equipment inside the container data center.

In view of this, it is necessary to provide a container data center that can be damped and its supporting device.

A support device for supporting a device on a stage, the support device includes a base that can be fixed to the stage, a shock absorbing member and a sliding member, and a receiving groove is formed in the center of the base. The bottom surface of the groove is a curved surface with a low circumference around the center, the shock absorbing member is placed in the accommodating groove and attached to the inner wall of the accommodating groove, and the sliding member is slidably placed on the bottom surface of the accommodating groove and located at the damper member The sliding member includes a card portion that can be fastened to the device, and the bottom surface of the sliding member is a curved surface matching the bottom surface of the receiving groove.

A container data center includes a container and a support device as described above disposed at a bottom of the four corners of the container, wherein a slot is formed at a bottom of each corner of the container to engage the card portion of the slider.

Compared with the prior art, the support device of the above-mentioned container data center slides on the bottom surface of the accommodating groove by the sliding member and collides with the inner ring of the damper member, thereby weakening the vibration of the data center of the container.

Referring to FIG. 1, the container data center of the present invention includes a container 10 and support means 20 mounted at the four corners of the bottom of the container 10.

A card slot 12 is defined in each of the four corners of the bottom of the container 10.

Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 together, the supporting device 20 includes a square base 21, a shock absorbing member 23 and a sliding member 25. A fixing hole 211 is defined in each of the four corners of the base 21, and the base 21 can be fixed to the ground, the floor of the car or other stages by screws through the fixing holes 211. A circular receiving groove 213 is defined in the center of the base 21. The receiving groove 213 includes a bottom surface 2131 and an inner wall 2132. The bottom surface 2131 is a curved surface having a central low circumference and a high circumference. The shock absorbing member 23 is an annular gasket made of an elastic material such as a rubber gasket or a soft plastic gasket. The shock absorbing member 23 includes an inner surface 231 and an outer surface 232. The slider 25 includes a cake-shaped sliding portion 251 and a rectangular parallelepiped portion 252 that is fixed to the upper surface of the sliding portion 251. The card portion 252 is shaped to fit snugly into the card slot 12 of the container 10. The bottom surface of the sliding portion 251 is an arcuate surface that matches the bottom surface 2131.

During assembly, the sliding member 25 is placed on the bottom surface 2131 of the accommodating groove 213, and the damper member 23 is placed in the accommodating groove 213 and is disposed around the sliding member 25. The outer surface 232 of the damper member 23 is closely attached. The inner wall 2132 of the slot 213 is received. The card portion 252 is snapped into the card slot 12 at the bottom four corners of the container 10, and the four support devices 20 support the container 10. When the vibration is transmitted from the ground or the floor of the cabin, the sliding portion 251 of the sliding member 25 slides on the bottom surface 2131 of the receiving groove 213 and collides with the inner surface 231 of the shock absorbing member 23, and is weakened by the shock absorbing member 23. Shake to avoid damage to the container 10. When the vibration from the outside is eliminated, the sliding portion 251 slides along the bottom surface 2131 to the bottom portion under the gravity of the container 10, so that the sliding portion 251 is automatically returned to realign the container 10.

In summary, the present invention complies with the requirements of the invention patent and submits a patent application according to law.
