Description

The invention relates to the field of telecommunications and information technology and can be used to create an underground design of a data center with advanced functionality, monitoring and controlling the state of the environment inside an underground data center.

As you know, ground-based devices for organizing a mobile (cellular) radiotelephone communication network are a tower, mast or street lighting pole with mobile radiotelephone communication network equipment and condition monitoring equipment, based on reinforced concrete, metal foundation or compacted soil (http: // nag .ru / articles / article / 29957 / bazovyie-stantsii-sotovoy-svyazi-i-ih-antennaya-chast.html. RF patent No. 107247, publication date 08/10/2011). The disadvantages of such objects are the violation of urban aesthetics and architectural appearance with street lighting poles, or masts, or towers with attached equipment and wires, the generation of noise and electromagnetic radiation. Such placement of mobile radiotelephone network equipment and environmental monitoring equipment leads to the influence of weather conditions (precipitation, wind, exposure to low and high temperatures), which can lead to malfunctions and reduce the life of the equipment. It may also be subject to unlawful actions of third parties (vandalism, theft). In addition, the location of such equipment at a height requires the use of lifting mechanisms (aerial platforms), compliance with labor protection equipment requirements.

Known designs of climatic metal cabinets (http://www.energomera.ru/documentations/booklets/Energomera_tmo_catalog.pdf), having anti-vandal protection and protection against electric shock, designed to accommodate the equipment of a network of mobile (cellular) radiotelephone communications and equipment condition monitoring, its autonomous functioning and protection against moisture and dust.

Also known is the design of a cellular base station (http://ttronics.ru/?menu=news283&menu=solutions05), comprising a ground unit with an automatic control system (ACS) for the state of the ground unit based on the KUB-BS controller, which via Ethernet and GSM channels liaises with the central control room. Through the use of this controller, it is possible to organize a control system, including subsystems for controlling the opening of the premises, fire control, temperature control, humidity control, leakage control, air conditioning control, and element-wise control of the batteries.

The considered designs of the climatic cabinet and the base station of cellular communication are ground blocks, which suggest the organization of a separate place for their installation, which violates the urban aesthetics and requires additional allocation of land. Also, these structures are concentrators of electromagnetic radiation, noise and may be exposed to third parties. When mounted, these cabinets require reinforcement of the metal structures of supports, masts, towers.

The safest way with the ever-growing need for the organization of connection points to the mobile (cellular) radiotelephone network is the use of underground data centers in which you can hide most of the equipment.

A known design of an underground box-type data center (Chinese patent No. 105990800, publication date 10/05/2016), adopted as the closest analogue to the claimed solution for an underground data center containing a main body located in the ground and having an all-welded metal structure and a box with a control system, which is located on the ground, while the main building inside is equipped with cellular network equipment, which has input and output cables, the control system includes a remote control control, which switches the equipment in the main body of the box and the lighting lamp to the on / off state, while turning the lamp on and off indicates the condition of the equipment inside the main box, which also has humidity and temperature control systems.

The disadvantage of this design is the presence of a special control unit located on the earth's surface, which requires the organization of a separate land plot. In addition, installation of the structure is possible in areas with favorable weather conditions. In areas where climatic conditions require precipitation in the form of snow or rain, the use of such a design is impossible due to the risk of equipment failure and an emergency. The warning light may burn out and not work at the right time. Thus, the considered underground box has limited functionality and does not provide the necessary level of safety during operation.

At the same time, the automatic control system (ACS) of the environment of the underground data center contains a limited number of systems that do not fully support the necessary internal climate in the main building located in the ground, taking into account external factors such as freezing of the ground layer, penetration of groundwater, occurrence fire. The presence of these factors can lead to a malfunction of the equipment inside the box and interruption of communication. As a result, this ACS also has limited functionality and does not provide the necessary level of security during the operation of the system.

In view of the wider functionality, for the closest analogue to the claimed solution for the automatic environmental management system of the underground data center environment, the ACS selected on the above site http://ttronics.ru/?menu=news283&menu=solutions05 was selected.

The objective of the invention is the creation of an underground data center designed to accommodate and provide the necessary operating conditions for the equipment of a mobile radiotelephone network or other telecommunication or server equipment (hereinafter referred to as equipment) and ACS by the state of the environment of the underground data center with the possibility of use regardless of weather conditions, on any locality, including in an urban environment without violating its aesthetics.

The technical result of the invention is to increase the safety of the equipment due to the placement of this equipment and the automated control system by the state of the environment in the underground data center and by ensuring complete monitoring of the state of the environment of the underground data center in order to quickly respond to an emergency situation.

The technical result is achieved by using the design of an underground data center containing an underground building, inside of which there is equipment, an automatic environmental control system for the underground data center, and outside - a communication support device that connects to equipment located in the underground data center, by communication lines.

The underground building can be made in the form of a waterproofing reinforced concrete box and can be at the same time the foundation of the support communication device.

The communication support device is a support. or a mast, or a communication tower with antennas of cellular and, more rarely, radio relay communications, which are easily camouflaged.

Communication lines can be fiber optic or feeder lines, as well as power lines.

The equipment of the mobile radiotelephone communication network includes radio relay modules, a base station, power supplies, rectifiers, rechargeable batteries, cross-panels, antenna-feeder devices, AC power supply panels.

Also, the technical result is achieved by using an automatic control system (ACS) of the environment of the underground data center containing a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, drainage system, power electrical equipment, indoor lighting system, fire alarm system, penetration protection system, power backup system, system control of hazardous gases, while the ACS is located in an underground data center and connected to a remote server.

ACS by the state of the environment of the underground data center is connected to a remote server using cellular or fiber-optic communication networks. Access to the server is carried out from the operator’s workplace.

The placement of equipment and ACS inside the underground data center allows you to transfer and hide all equipment that is known to be mounted on the well-known solutions and the closest analogue and is located above the level of the earth's surface, which preserves the aesthetics of the urban environment. This reduces the harmful effects of electromagnetic waves, noise. Also, the use of various systems as part of the ACS allows you to fully monitor, account for and control the change in a wide range of environmental parameters inside the underground data center to ensure proper operation of the equipment.

The claimed solutions for the underground data center and ACS by the state of the environment of the underground data center can be used in any territory with different climatic conditions, including taking into account the likelihood of snow or rain, groundwater, a fire situation, which greatly expands the functionality decisions. The penetration protection system allows you to timely control a hacking attempt to take subsequent measures, the presence of power electrical equipment ensures the smooth operation of all systems, the presence of a ventilation system allows you to avoid overheating of the equipment and ensure working conditions for personnel.

In FIG. 1 shows a side view of an underground data center with a support communication device, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an underground data center with a communication support device.

The underground data center consists of a reinforced concrete building 1 in the form of a box with an anchor mortgage for attaching a communication support and a reinforced concrete cover. Inside the building 1, equipment 2 is installed, an automatic control system 3 for the environment of the underground data center and ensuring the working conditions of the equipment 2, above the level of the earth's surface, is a support device for communication with antennas 4. The reinforced concrete underground building 1 has a decorative and airtight manhole 5 of increased vandal resistance closes it from the outside with secrets and a padlock. For descent into the underground data center, a ladder 6 can be provided (Fig. 1).

ACS 3 of the environmental state of the underground data center contains various systems to ensure the proper operation of equipment 2 connected to the microcontroller for controlling the ACS via the RS-485 communication protocol. To collect and transmit information about the state of monitored systems, a GSM modem with a wireless communication channel or fiber-optic communication lines 7 is used (Fig. 2).

ACS 3 systems to ensure the proper operation of equipment 2 can be implemented on the basis of any well-known solutions (sensors, circuits, etc.) that allow you to track changes in the necessary environmental parameters inside the underground data center.

The data obtained from the sensors of the ACS systems are transmitted to a remote server (not shown) for the purpose of subsequent issuance of control actions if necessary. To ensure the presence of a specialist inside the underground building 1 of the underground data center, for example, to eliminate emergency situations, a ground hatch 5, a ladder 6 is provided.

Using an underground data center and an automatic environmental management system for the underground data center can significantly reduce the number of wires and external attachments, while maintaining the aesthetics of the city, increasing the comfort of the population. The equipment is also protected from adverse weather conditions with the implementation of highly efficient environmental monitoring inside the underground building, which increases the service life of the equipment for the organization of uninterrupted mobile (cellular) radiotelephone communications in any area.
