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 bottom of the receiving recess is concave. The sliding member includes a block to be engaged in the device. The bottom of the sliding member is convex for mating with the bottom of the receiving recess.

What is claimed is: 
     
         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 with a concave 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 locking block to be engaged in the device;   wherein a bottom of the sliding member is convex for mating with the concave bottom of the receiving recess.   
     
     
         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 . The supporting apparatus as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the sliding member comprises a discoid sliding portion slidably supported on the bottom in the receiving recess, the locking block extends from a top of the sliding portion. 
     
     
         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 the four corners of the bottom of the container, each supporting apparatus comprising a base defining a receiving recess with a concave 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 locking block engaged in the corresponding locking slot of the container; and   wherein bottoms of the sliding members are convex for mating with the concave bottoms of the receiving recesses.   
     
     
         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 members are made of flexible material. 
     
     
         9 . The container data center as claimed in  claim 8 , wherein the shockproof members are made of rubber or plastic. 
     
     
         10 . The container data center as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the sliding members each comprise a discoid sliding portion slidably supported on the bottom of the corresponding receiving recess, the locking blocks extend from tops of the sliding portions respectively.
