Abstract

A container data center includes a container, a cooling room defined in the container, and a cabinet receiving a server. The cabinet includes a fan module opposite to the cooling room. An opening is defined in the cabinet. A box is attached to the cabinet. The box defines an inlet. A blocking plate is pivotably attached to the box to cover or uncover the inlet. An air plate is pivotably attached to the cabinet to cover or uncover the opening. When the server is moved into the cabinet through the inlet, the server pushes the corresponding blocking plate and the corresponding air plate to rotate. When the cabinet operates, the fan module operates to exhaust hot air from the cabinet, the cabinet then becomes negative pressure rooms to let the cooling air enter the cooling room through the inlet and the opening.

Claims (9)

1. A container data center, comprising:

a container;

a cooling room defined in the container; and

a cabinet for receiving a server, and arranged in the container beside the cooling room;

wherein the cabinet comprises a fan module attached to a first side of the cabinet opposite to the cooling room, to exhaust hot air from the cabinet, an opening is defined in a second side of the cabinet facing the cooling room, and a box is attached to the second side of the cabinet and aligns with the opening, the box defines an inlet aligning with the opening and an air inlet, a blocking plate is pivotably attached to the box to cover or uncover the inlet, an air plate is pivotably attached to the second side of the cabinet to cover or uncover the opening, the blocking plate and the corresponding air plate are rotatable to allow the server to be pushed from the inlet to the opening to enter to the cabinet, after the server enters the cabinet completely, the corresponding air plate is rested on a top of the server, the blocking plate is rotated back to cover the inlet; and

wherein the fan module configured to exhaust hot air from the cabinet, the cabinet then becomes negative pressure rooms to let the cooling air in the cooling room enter the server through the air inlet and the opening in that order.

2. The container data center of claim 1 , further comprising an air-conditioning device connected to the air inlet.

3. The container data center of claim 1 , wherein the fan module comprises a plurality of fans.

4. The container data center of claim 1 , wherein a sensor is arranged in the server, the sensor senses temperature in the server to generate temperature signals and transmits the temperature signals to a controller, the controller controls speeds of the fan module.
