CONTAINER DATA CENTER WITH SUPPORTING APPARATUS
Abstract
A supporting apparatus is used for supporting a device on a
platform. The supporting apparatus includes a base fixed to the
platform, a shockproof member, and a sliding member. The base
defines a receiving recess for receiving the shockproof member. The
shockproof member is attached to an inner sidewall bounding the
receiving recess. The sliding member is supported on a bottom of
the receiving recess. The sliding member includes a locking block,
to be engaged in the device.

Claims
1. A supporting apparatus used for supporting a device on a
platform, the supporting apparatus comprising: a base to be fixed
to the platform, the base defining a receiving recess having a
plane bottom; a shockproof member received in the receiving recess;
and a sliding member supported on the bottom of the receiving
recess and surrounded by the shockproof, the sliding member
comprising a discoid sliding portion slidably supported in the
receiving recess and a locking block extending from a top of the
sliding portion to be detachably engaged in the device.
2. The supporting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the
receiving recess is circular, the shockproof member is annular, an
outer surface of the shockproof member contacts an inner sidewall
of the receiving recess.
3. The supporting apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the
shockproof member is made of flexible material.
4. The supporting apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein the
shockproof member is made of rubber or plastic.
5. (canceled)
6. A container data center, comprising: a container defining four
locking slots in four corners of a bottom of the container; and
four supporting apparatuses supporting four corners of the bottom
of the container, each supporting apparatus comprising a base
defining a receiving recess having a plane bottom, a shockproof
member received in the receiving recess, and a sliding member
supported on the bottom of the receiving recess and surrounded by
the shockproof; wherein each sliding member comprises a discoid
sliding portion slidably supported in the receiving recess and a
locking block extending from a top of the sliding portion and
detachably engaged in the corresponding locking slot of the
container.
7. The container data center as claimed in claim 6, wherein the
receiving recesses are circular, the shockproof members are
annular, outer surfaces of the shockproof members contact inner
sidewalls of the receiving recesses respectively.
8. The container data center as claimed in claim 7, wherein the
shockproof member are made of flexible material.

Description
BACKGROUND
[0001] 1. Technical Field
[0002] The present disclosure relates to a container data center
with a supporting apparatus.
[0003] 2. Description of Related Art
[0004] When a container data center is subjected to shock and/or
vibration situations, such as during transport or by being in an
area where an earthquake occurs, electronic devices in the
container may be damaged.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0005] Many aspects of the present embodiments can be better
understood with reference to the following drawings. The components
in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis
instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of
the present embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, all the views
are schematic, and like reference numerals designate corresponding
parts throughout the several views.
[0006] FIG. 1 is a partially exploded, isometric view of a
container data center with four supporting apparatuses in
accordance with an exemplary embodiment.
[0007] FIG. 2 is an exploded, enlarged view of one of the
supporting apparatus of FIG. 1.
[0008] FIG. 3 is an assembled view of FIG. 2.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0009] Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a container data
center includes a container 10 and four supporting apparatuses 20
supporting four corners of a bottom of the container 10.
[0010] Four rectangular locking slots 12 are defined in four
corners of the bottom of the container 10 respectively.
[0011] Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, each supporting apparatus 20
includes a rectangular base 21, a shockproof member 23, and a
sliding member 25. Four mounting holes 211 are defined in four
corners of the base 21 respectively, for four screws extending
through to fix the base 21 on a supporting platform, or a floor of
a truck. A circular receiving recess 213 is defined in a center of
the base 21. The receiving recess 213 has a plane bottom 2131 and
an inner sidewall 2132. The shockproof member 23 is annular and
made of flexible material, such as rubber or plastic. The
shockproof member 23 includes an inner surface 231 and an outer
surface 232. The sliding member 25 includes a discoid sliding
portion 251 and a rectangular locking block 252 extending from a
top of the sliding portion 251. Size and shape of the locking block
252 are configured for engaging in the locking slot 12.
[0012] In assembly, the shockproof member 23 is arranged in the
receiving recess 213, with the outer surface 232 contacting the
inner sidewall 2132. The sliding member 25 is supported on the
bottom 2131 and surrounded by the shockproof member 23. The locking
blocks 252 of the supporting apparatuses 20 are inserted in the
corresponding locking slots 12, thus the container 10 is supported
on the four supporting apparatuses 20. Any jolts or vibrations to
the surface supporting the container 10, the sliding portions 251
will slide on the bottoms 2131 respectively and impact the inner
surfaces 231 of the shockproof members 23, which can absorb shock
to the container 10.
[0013] Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the
embodiments have been set forth in the foregoing description,
together with details of the structure and function of the
embodiments, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may
be made in detail, especially in the matters of shape, size, and
arrangement of parts within the principles of the present
disclosure to the full extent indicated by the broad general
meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are
expressed.
