ISOLATED FLOOR LOCKING MECHANISM FOR MODULAR DATA CENTERS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240134347 titled 'ISOLATED FLOOR LOCKING MECHANISM FOR MODULAR DATA CENTERS

Simplified Explanation

A modular information technology component (MITC) includes a floor with two floor plates (FP) oriented in a first plane, and two hydraulic pumps (HP) located underneath the floor plates. When an information handling system (IHS) is loaded on the second floor plate, it becomes oriented in a second plane lower than the first plane, and the second hydraulic pump is activated to raise the second floor plate to the first plane.

  • Floor plates (FP) oriented in first and second planes
  • Hydraulic pumps (HP) located underneath the floor plates
  • Second floor plate becomes oriented in a lower plane when IHS is loaded
  • Second hydraulic pump raises the second floor plate to the first plane

Potential Applications

The technology could be used in data centers, server rooms, and other IT environments where modular components are required.

Problems Solved

The MITC solves the problem of efficiently adjusting the height of the floor to accommodate different equipment configurations.

Benefits

The MITC allows for easy customization and reconfiguration of IT setups, saving time and effort in adjusting the infrastructure.

Potential Commercial Applications

"Modular Information Technology Component (MITC) for Flexible IT Infrastructure"

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to adjustable flooring systems in data centers or server rooms.

Unanswered Questions

How does the MITC handle power and data connections when adjusting the floor height?

The article does not provide information on how the MITC manages power and data connections when raising or lowering the floor plates.

Are there any limitations to the weight or size of the equipment that can be placed on the MITC?

The article does not mention any restrictions on the weight or size of the information handling systems that can be loaded onto the MITC.


Original Abstract Submitted

a modular information technology component (mitc) includes: a floor, in which the floor comprises a first floor plate (fp) and a second fp, in which the first fp and the second fp are oriented in a first plane; and a first hydraulic pump (hp) and a second hp, in which the first hp is located underneath the first fp, in which the second hp is located underneath the second fp, in which the first hp and the second hp are deactivated, in which, when an information handling system (ihs) is loaded on the second fp, the second fp becomes oriented in a second plane, in which the second plane is lower than the first plane, and in which, when the second fp becomes oriented in the second plane, the second hp is activated to raise the second fp to the first plane.
