As a core component of data centers, server cabinets play an important role in accommodating and managing server equipment. Currently, server cabinets on the market are designed in a variety of ways to accommodate data centers of different sizes and needs. However, most cabinet designs still have some common limitations, especially in terms of space utilization efficiency and maintenance convenience. Server cabinets come in a variety of width and height specifications, from traditional 19-inch standard cabinets to customized cabinets that meet specific needs, such as OCP (Open Compute Project) and ODCC (Open Data Center Committee) cabinets, each of which is optimized for different application scenarios and server types.

[0003] Although the existing server cabinet design has met the diverse needs to a certain extent, there are still some obvious defects.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0057] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0058] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a second cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0060] In a first specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the server cabinet provided by the embodiment of the present application mainly includes a first cabinet 1, a second cabinet 2 and an expansion device 3. The first cabinet 1 has a cabinet space inside; the second cabinet 2 is installed in the cabinet space, and the second cabinet 2 has a box space for installing a chassis 5 inside. The front and rear ends of the second cabinet 2 both have expansion positions, and a connecting space leading to the expansion positions at both ends is reserved between the second cabinet 2 and the first cabinet 1; the expansion device 3 is installed at the expansion position, one end of the expansion device 3 is used to be connected to the chassis 5 through a connecting structure, the connecting structure is located in the connecting space, and the other end of the expansion device 3 is used to be connected to an external device.

[0061] It should be noted that both the front and rear ends of the second cabinet 2 have expansion positions, and the expansion device 3 can be installed at the expansion positions, so the expansion device 3 can be installed at the front end of the second cabinet 2, or at the rear end of the second cabinet 2, or at the front end and the rear end of the second cabinet 2 as needed. What is defined here is that the installation position of the expansion device 3 on the second cabinet 2 is flexible and changeable.

[0062] In the existing server cabinet design, there are usually some limitations, such as various modules occupying valuable space inside the cabinet, or can only be placed at the back of the cabinet, which leads to insufficient space utilization, cumbersome maintenance work and low efficiency. In order to overcome these limitations, the present technical solution proposes a server cabinet design with high flexibility. The server cabinet design consists of a first cabinet 1 and a second cabinet 2. The first cabinet 1 has a cabinet space inside, and the second cabinet 2 is installed in the cabinet space, and a box space for installing a chassis 5 is designed inside. The innovation lies in that the front and rear ends of the second cabinet 2 both have expansion positions, and a connecting space leading to the expansion positions at both ends is left between the second cabinet 2 and the first cabinet 1. Such a layout allows the expansion device 3 to be flexibly installed in the expansion position, one end is connected to the chassis 5 through a connecting structure located in the connecting space, and the other end is connected to an external device.

[0063] This design significantly improves the space utilization efficiency of the cabinet, because the expansion device 3 can be flexibly adjusted at the front and rear ends as needed, thereby reducing the problem of modules occupying internal space. At the same time, since maintenance personnel can operate from the front or rear of the cabinet, two modes of front maintenance and rear maintenance are realized, which greatly improves the convenience and efficiency of maintenance. In addition, the flexible installation of the expansion device 3 and the adjustability of the front and rear ends enable the cabinet to quickly expand its functions according to actual needs. Whether it is adding cooling modules, network interfaces or other functional modules, it can be achieved by simply installing or replacing the expansion device 3. This design significantly improves the versatility and adaptability of the cabinet, enabling it to adapt to different data center layouts and operation and maintenance needs, while maintaining a high degree of customizability and scalability.

[0064] In combination with the above structure and process description, it can be seen that the server cabinet has at least the following beneficial effects: the server cabinet realizes selectable front maintenance and rear maintenance functions through the flexible adjustment of the expansion device 3 at the front and rear ends, thereby significantly improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance, while expanding the versatility and adaptability of the cabinet.

[0065] In a specific implementation, compared to the prior art solution of placing each module at the rear of a cabinet, the present application installs the expansion device 3 at the front end of the second cabinet 2 .

[0066] Expanding on each module, liquid cooling modules are key components used to cool the server, and they usually need to be placed close to the server to ensure effective heat dissipation. However, due to design limitations, liquid cooling modules often take up valuable space inside the cabinet, hindering the layout of other equipment. The same is true for power modules, which must be close to the server motherboard to provide a stable power supply, which also limits their installation location. Network port modules are the key to connecting network devices, and they are usually placed at the back of the cabinet. Although this design is convenient for connection and maintenance, it also takes up a lot of rear space, resulting in the front space not being fully utilized.

[0067] The limitation of placing each module at the back of the cabinet is particularly obvious in a wider cabinet. Even if there is enough space on the left and right sides, it cannot be effectively used. The increase in width does not bring about an improvement in space utilization efficiency, but instead makes the space on the left and right sides idle. Although there is enough space, due to the installation restrictions and layout design of the modules, the space on the left and right sides cannot be fully utilized, resulting in a waste of resources.

[0068] Compared with this, since there is enough space on the left and right sides of the first cabinet 1, the present application can add an expansion device 3 that can be maintained at the front end outside the second cabinet 2. This design not only optimizes the space utilization inside the cabinet, but also improves the convenience of maintenance.

[0069] Such a layout allows maintenance personnel to perform maintenance on the expansion device 3 at the front of the cabinet without having to perform complicated operations from the back of the cabinet. This greatly simplifies the maintenance process and improves work efficiency. The flexibility of performing maintenance at the front also allows the expansion device 3 to be replaced with devices with other functions according to different needs, including but not limited to devices with functions such as cooling, power management, and network interfaces, further enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the cabinet.

[0070] In addition, another significant advantage of this design is modular layout and maintenance. Each front-end maintenance expansion device 3 can be removed and replaced independently without dismantling the entire cabinet or affecting the normal operation of other modules. This modular design not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also reduces downtime caused by replacing or maintaining a single module, thereby improving the overall reliability and operating efficiency of the data center.

[0071] In another specific implementation, the server cabinet provided by the present application not only has the function of front maintenance, but also can realize a more flexible layout and management method according to the placement of the data center cabinet. Specifically, the expansion device 3 with various functions can be installed at the rear end of the second cabinet 2 according to actual needs. In this way, the cables or liquid cooling pipes in front of the system can be connected to the expansion device 3 at the rear, thereby realizing the maintenance method of the rear outlet.

[0072] For example, if there is enough space at the rear of the cabinet and maintenance is desired from the rear, an expansion device 3 that can be maintained at the rear can be added to the outside of the second cabinet 2. In this way, maintenance personnel can directly manage cables and connect liquid cooling pipes from the rear of the cabinet without having to operate from the front of the cabinet, which greatly simplifies the maintenance process.

[0073] Combining the above two specific implementations, it can be seen that the server cabinet provided by this application can be flexibly adjusted between front-end maintenance and back-end maintenance according to the layout of the data center cabinet. Whether it is front maintenance or back maintenance, the most appropriate method can be selected according to the actual situation, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of maintenance.

[0074] In actual applications, this front and rear maintenance and replaceable server cabinet provides great convenience for the management and maintenance of data centers. Operation and maintenance personnel can quickly access or remove various expansion devices3, thereby achieving efficient management and maintenance of the equipment inside the cabinet. Through reasonable space utilization and flexible module design, this innovative server cabinet greatly improves the operation and maintenance efficiency of the data center and the flexible configuration capability of the equipment, meeting the modern data center's demand for efficient, flexible and reliable operation and maintenance.

[0075] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the width of the second cabinet 2 is smaller than the width of the first cabinet 1, and the second cabinet 2 is movably installed in the front-to-back direction relative to the first cabinet 1. The expansion position is located on the two side surfaces of the front end of the second cabinet 2 and the two side surfaces of the rear end of the second cabinet 2. The expansion device 3 is installed on the two side surfaces of the second cabinet 2 through the expansion position, and the connection structure connected to the expansion device 3 is located on the side surface of the second cabinet 2.

[0076] In this embodiment, the width of the second cabinet 2 is smaller than that of the first cabinet 1, so that the second cabinet 2 can slide flexibly back and forth inside the first cabinet 1. This design significantly improves the space utilization efficiency and maintenance convenience of the cabinet.

[0077] The expansion positions are specially arranged on the sides of the front and rear ends of the second cabinet 2, providing installation positions for the expansion device 3. The expansion device 3 is installed on the side of the second cabinet 2 through these expansion positions. At the same time, the connection structure connected to the expansion device 3 is also located on the side of the second cabinet 2. This layout optimizes the line management inside the cabinet, making the connection cables neater and easier for maintenance personnel to operate and inspect. This design not only improves the functionality of the cabinet, but also enhances its ability to adapt to different data center layouts.

[0078] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the cabinet space is divided into multiple cabinet areas in the height direction, and multiple second cabinets 2 independently distributed in the cabinet area are installed in the cabinet space; and / or, the box space is divided into multiple box areas in the height direction, and the box space is used to install multiple chassis 5 independently distributed in the box area.

[0079] In this embodiment, the design of the cabinet space is highly modularized and is divided into a plurality of cabinet areas, each of which can independently install a second cabinet 2. This design allows the cabinet to maximize the use of space in the vertical direction while providing flexibility to accommodate the installation requirements of different numbers of second cabinets 2.

[0080] Similarly, the cabinet space is also designed to be divisible in the height direction to form a plurality of cabinet areas, each of which can be equipped with an independent chassis 5. This modular cabinet design enables the cabinet to flexibly adjust the distribution and quantity of the chassis 5 according to specific equipment requirements and space layout.

[0081] Through this vertical partition design, the server cabinet not only improves space utilization, but also increases the adaptability and scalability of the cabinet. Whether adding a second cabinet 2 or a chassis 5, it can be quickly adjusted according to actual needs, thereby meeting the diverse needs of the data center for server equipment management.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an expansion device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 A schematic diagram of another expansion device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0083] In some embodiments, the expansion device 3 comprises:

[0084] The installation module 31 is installed at the extension position. The installation module 31 is located on the side of the second cabinet 2. The installation module 31 is provided with an installation surface.

[0085] The function module 32 is installed on the installation surface. The function module 32 is located on the side of the second cabinet 2 , and the connection structure connected to the expansion device 3 is located on the side of the second cabinet 2 .

[0086] In this embodiment, the design of the expansion device 3 includes an installation module 31 and a functional module 32, which together constitute the core part of the expansion device 3. The installation module 31 is directly installed in the expansion position, specifically, it is installed on the side of the second cabinet 2, and provides an installation surface for subsequent component installation. Such a design enables the installation module 31 to provide the necessary support and fixing points for the functional module 32.

[0087] The function module 32 is mounted on the mounting surface provided by the mounting module 31, and is also located on the side of the second cabinet 2. The mounting position of the function module 32 enables it to be connected to the connection structure of the expansion device 3, and the connection structure is also located on the side of the second cabinet 2. This layout allows the function module 32 to be effectively connected to the chassis 5 or other external devices, while maintaining a neat appearance and a design that is easy to maintain.

[0088] Through this design, the expansion device 3 not only provides an intuitive and convenient installation method, but also through the coordinated work of the installation module 31 and the functional module 32, the server cabinet can quickly expand its functions as needed, such as adding cooling modules, network interfaces or other special functional modules, thereby enhancing the versatility and adaptability of the cabinet.

[0089] It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the specific functions of the expansion device 3 and the specific form of the functional module 32. Figure 3 As shown, the functional module 32 may be a water distribution module 321. In this case, the expansion device 3 has a cooling function. Figure 4 As shown, the functional module 32 may be a network port module 322, and the expansion device 3 has a network interface function. Figure 3 and Figure 4 In addition to the ones shown, other expansion devices 3 should also fall within the description scope of this application.

[0090] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the expansion device 3 includes a functional module for connecting the chassis 5 with an external device, the connection structure includes a water pipe assembly 331, and the functional module 32 includes:

[0091] The water distribution and drainage module 321 is used to be connected to the chassis 5 through the water pipe assembly 331, and the water distribution and drainage module 321 is also used to be connected to external equipment.

[0092] In this embodiment, the design of the expansion device 3 particularly emphasizes its connection function, especially realizing the connection between the chassis 5 and external equipment through the water pipe assembly 331. This design allows the equipment inside the cabinet to be effectively connected to the external cooling system or other hydraulic facilities.

[0093] The functional module 32 plays a key role in this process, and includes a water distribution module 321. The water distribution module 321 is specially designed to be connected to the chassis 5 through the water pipe assembly 331 to ensure that the cooling liquid or water can be effectively distributed to the chassis 5 to maintain the server equipment running at a suitable temperature. In addition, the water distribution module 321 can also be connected to external devices, which allows the cabinet to be easily connected to a wider range of cooling solutions or hydraulic management systems.

[0094] Through this design, the server cabinet not only improves the heat dissipation efficiency, but also increases the compatibility and connection flexibility with the external cooling system. This provides an efficient and customizable cooling solution for the data center, helping to improve the operating efficiency and reliability of the entire data center.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 for Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the expansion device and the second cabinet.

[0096] In some embodiments, the water distribution module 321 is vertically arranged, and the rear end of the water distribution module 321 is provided with multiple groups of pipe nozzle assemblies distributed vertically, each group of pipe nozzle assemblies is used to be connected to the chassis 5 in the cabinet space through the water pipe assembly 331, and the height of each group of pipe nozzle assemblies is used to be set corresponding to the height of the chassis 5 in the cabinet space.

[0097] In this embodiment, the design of the water distribution module 321 adopts a vertical layout, which enables the module to be more effectively connected to the chassis 5 and adapt to chassis of different heights. The rear end of the water distribution module 321 is equipped with multiple groups of nozzle assemblies, which are distributed vertically to facilitate connection.

[0098] Each set of nozzle components is designed with a specific height, so as to be connected to the chassis 5 at the corresponding height in the cabinet space through the water pipe component 331. Such a corresponding setting ensures that no matter which height level the chassis 5 is in the cabinet space, the water distribution module 321 can be accurately connected to them to achieve the distribution of the coolant.

[0099] Through this vertical setting and corresponding height design, the water distribution module 321 not only improves the accuracy and convenience of connection, but also enhances the efficiency and adaptability of the entire server cabinet in terms of heat dissipation and cooling. This design allows the cabinet to flexibly install chassis of different specifications at different heights while ensuring the efficient operation of the cooling system.

[0100] Among them, each group of water pipe components 331 includes cold water branches and hot water branches. The multiple cold water branches and multiple hot water branches of the multiple groups of water pipe components 331 are connected to the water distribution and drainage module 321. The water distribution and drainage module 321 collects the cold water of the multiple cold water branches and the hot water of the multiple hot water branches respectively, and then connects them to external equipment through the cold water main pipe and the hot water main pipe.

[0101] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the expansion device 3 includes a functional module for connecting the chassis 5 with an external device, the connection structure includes a cable assembly 332, and the functional module 32 includes:

[0102] The network port module 322 is used to connect to the chassis 5 through the cable assembly 332, and the network port module 322 is also used to connect to external devices.

[0103] In this embodiment, the design of the expansion device 3 focuses on the flexibility and practicality of the electrical connection, especially the connection between the chassis 5 and the external device is achieved through the cable assembly 332. This design allows the server device inside the cabinet to be effectively connected to the external network or other electronic devices.

[0104] The network port module 322 included in the functional module 32 plays a key role in achieving this connection. The network port module 322 is specially designed to be connected to the chassis 5 through the cable assembly 332 to ensure that network data can be efficiently transmitted to the server device. In addition, the network port module 322 can also be connected to external devices, which provides the cabinet with the ability to connect to a wider network environment or external system.

[0105] Through this design, the server cabinet not only enhances the flexibility of network connection, but also improves the convenience of integration with external devices. This provides strong support for the construction of efficient and reliable network infrastructure in the data center, and helps to improve the operating efficiency and data processing capabilities of the entire data center.

[0106] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 for Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the expansion device and the second cabinet.

[0107] In some embodiments, the network port module 322 is vertically arranged, and the rear end of the network port module 322 is provided with multiple groups of wire port components distributed vertically, each group of wire port components is used to be connected to the chassis 5 in the cabinet space through the cable assembly 332, and the height of each group of wire port components is used to correspond to the height of the chassis 5 in the cabinet space.

[0108] In this embodiment, the network port module 322 is designed in a vertical layout, which enables the module to be effectively connected to the chassis 5 at different height levels. The rear end of the network port module 322 is equipped with multiple groups of line port components, which are distributed vertically to provide a convenient network connection point for the chassis 5.

[0109] Each set of line port components is arranged at a specific height so as to be connected to the chassis 5 at the corresponding height in the cabinet space through the cable assembly 332. This corresponding height setting ensures that the chassis 5 can be easily connected to the network regardless of the vertical position of the cabinet. Such a design not only improves the accuracy and convenience of the connection, but also makes the network wiring of the cabinet neater and more orderly.

[0110] Through this vertical setting and height-matching design, the network port module 322 significantly improves the flexibility and adaptability of the server cabinet in terms of network connection, ensuring that the server equipment can efficiently access the network system of the data center. This provides strong support for the network management and optimization of the data center, and helps to improve the network performance and operation efficiency of the data center.

[0111] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 And refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 A schematic diagram of removing a chassis from a server cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0112] In some embodiments, the width of the first cabinet 1 is greater than the width of the second cabinet 2 and the width of the second cabinet 2 is used to be greater than the width of the chassis 5, the second cabinet 2 is slidably installed in the front-to-back direction relative to the first cabinet 1 and the second cabinet 2 is used to enable the chassis 5 to be slidably installed in the front-to-back direction relative to the second cabinet 2.

[0113] In this embodiment, the width of the first cabinet 1 is designed to be larger than that of the second cabinet 2, in order to leave enough space so that the second cabinet 2 can slide freely inside the first cabinet 1. Accordingly, the width of the second cabinet 2 is also larger than that of the chassis 5, ensuring that the chassis 5 can also be slidably installed inside the second cabinet 2.

[0114] The sliding installation design of the second cabinet 2 allows it to move in the front-to-back direction of the first cabinet 1, which provides flexibility during installation and maintenance. Similarly, the chassis 5 is also designed to be able to slide back and forth inside the second cabinet 2, which further enhances the convenience of cabinet maintenance and the accessibility of the chassis.

[0115] Through this design, the server cabinet not only improves the space utilization efficiency, but also allows a more flexible equipment installation and replacement process. When the chassis 5 needs to be maintained or upgraded, the second cabinet 2 and the chassis 5 inside it can be easily slid out together, so as to quickly perform the required operations. This design significantly improves the operation and maintenance efficiency of the data center, and also makes the cabinet layout more compact and efficient.

[0116] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 7 On the one hand, the server cabinet provided by the present application greatly simplifies the removal and maintenance process of the chassis 5. Specifically, when a chassis 5 needs to be removed, first, the second cabinet 2 only needs to be moved outward to make it out of the fixed position. Then, the water pipe assembly 331 located behind the water distribution module 321 is unplugged, and the chassis 5 can be easily pulled out. This design significantly reduces the time and complexity of removing and maintaining the chassis 5.

[0117] The core of this design is the replaceability of front and rear maintenance, which means that users can perform maintenance operations from the front or back of the cabinet without disassembling the entire cabinet. This flexibility not only improves maintenance efficiency, but also reduces interference with the operation of other equipment. In traditional designs, removing a chassis may require disassembling multiple components and even affect the normal operation of other equipment, but this new design avoids these problems.

[0118] On the other hand, the design of the water distribution module 321 also reflects the concept of efficient management and maintenance. By setting the water pipe interface at the rear of the module, operators can quickly connect and disconnect, ensuring the stable operation of the cooling system. This is especially important for data centers that require frequent maintenance and replacement of equipment. The simple operation of unplugging the water pipe interface makes it possible to quickly remove and replace the chassis 5 without affecting the operation of other equipment.

[0119] This front and rear maintenance and replaceable design is not only applicable to the chassis 5, but can also be extended to other types of modular components. Through reasonable design and layout, various functional modules can be flexibly replaced as needed, further enhancing the adaptability and versatility of the cabinet. Whether it is a power module, a network interface module such as the network port module 322, or other special modules, they can be quickly maintained and replaced in this way, greatly improving the management efficiency and operational flexibility of the data center.

[0120] On the other hand, the design of the network port module 322 also reflects the concept of efficient management and maintenance. When a chassis 5 needs to be removed, the user only needs to move the second cabinet 2 outward to remove it from the fixed position. Then, unplug the cable assembly 332 located behind the network port module 322, and the chassis 5 can be easily removed. This design avoids the complicated process of disassembling multiple components when removing the chassis in the traditional way, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of removal and maintenance.

[0121] Through this design, the server cabinet also achieves the purpose of rapid maintenance and replacement of the chassis 5, while reducing potential interference with other equipment in the data center and optimizing the entire maintenance process.

[0122] Please refer to Figures 8 to 10 , Figure 8 An exploded view of the expansion device provided in an embodiment of the present application, Fig. 9 A schematic diagram of the installation of the expansion device and the second cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application, Fig.10 A schematic diagram of an expansion device and a second cabinet provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0123] In some embodiments, the expansion device 3 includes a functional module for connecting the chassis 5 with an external device and an installation module 31 for installing the functional module 32 on the second cabinet 2, and the installation module 31 includes:

[0124] A side bracket 311 is connected to the functional module 32, and the side bracket 311 is provided with a mounting slot 3111;

[0125] Among them, the second cabinet body 2 is provided with a T-shaped nail 21 and a fixing hole. The T-shaped nail 21 is used for sliding assembly with the installation groove 3111, and the fixing hole is used to fix the side bracket 311 on the second cabinet body 2 by cooperating with a hand screw after the side bracket 311 is assembled in place.

[0126] In this embodiment, the design of the expansion device 3 pays special attention to the convenience and flexibility of installation. The expansion device 3 not only includes a functional module 32 for realizing the connection between the chassis 5 and the external device, but also includes an installation module 31, which is specially designed to conveniently install the functional module 32 on the second cabinet 2.

[0127] The core component of the installation module 31 is the side bracket 311, which is directly connected to the functional module 32. The side bracket 311 is designed with a mounting groove 3111, which is a key part for matching with the structure on the second cabinet 2. In order to adapt to the side bracket 311, the second cabinet 2 is specially designed with a T-shaped nail 21 and a fixing hole. The T-shaped nail 21 and the mounting groove 3111 can be slidably assembled, which allows the side bracket 311 to be easily positioned and fixed on the side of the second cabinet 2.

[0128] Once the side bracket 311 is assembled in place, the fixing holes and hand screws (the first hand screw 341 shown in the figure) can be used to stably fix the side bracket 311 on the second cabinet 2. This design not only simplifies the installation process, but also improves the stability and reliability of the entire expansion device 3.

[0129] Through this design, the expansion device 3 can be flexibly installed on the side of the second cabinet 2, providing more expansion possibilities for the server cabinet, and also facilitating the subsequent maintenance and upgrade work. This innovative installation method improves the adaptability and functionality of the server cabinet and meets the needs of modern data centers for high efficiency and high flexibility.

[0130] In some embodiments, the functional module 32 is divided into a water distribution and drainage module 321 and a network port module 322 , and the water distribution and drainage module 321 and the network port module 322 are installed on the second cabinet 2 through a side bracket 311 .

[0131] In this embodiment, both the water distribution module 321 and the network port module 322 can be used in conjunction with the side bracket 311 and installed in a simple fixing manner. This design optimizes the installation process and improves maintenance efficiency. The side bracket 311 is fixed together with the water distribution module 321 or the network port module 322 by screws, and then the functional module 32 is fixed to the second cabinet 2 by the relationship between the T-shaped nail 21 on the second cabinet 2 and the fixing hole and the hand screw. Such a design allows maintenance personnel to easily perform front and back maintenance and replacement of the module.

[0132] In some embodiments, T-shaped nails 21 and fixing holes are provided on both sides of the second cabinet 2, and the same side bracket 311 can be replaced and installed between the two side positions of the second cabinet 2, or two side brackets 311 can be interchangeably installed between the two side positions of the second cabinet 2.

[0133] In this embodiment, the design of the second cabinet 2 allows greater flexibility and adaptability, and both sides are equipped with T-shaped nails 21 and fixing holes. Such design features allow the same side bracket 311 to be replaced and installed between the two sides of the second cabinet 2 as needed. In addition, if the design includes two side brackets 311, they can also be installed interchangeably between the two sides of the second cabinet 2.

[0134] This design provides a variety of layout options, making it easy to adjust the layout of components inside the cabinet according to specific data center layout or maintenance needs. Whether it is necessary to expand the installation location of functional modules or reconfigure to accommodate different equipment or connection requirements, this interchangeable installation design greatly improves the practicality and flexibility of the server cabinet. In this way, the second cabinet 2 can use space more efficiently while providing greater convenience for operation and maintenance personnel to adapt to various operation and maintenance scenarios.

[0135] Please continue to refer to Figure 2 And refer to Fig.11 , Fig.11 A schematic diagram of a collection and processing device provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0136] In some embodiments, the server cabinet further comprises:

[0137] The storage and organizing device 4 is installed on the second cabinet 2. The storage and organizing device 4 is located in the connecting space. The storage and organizing device 4 is used to store and organize the connecting structure.

[0138] In this embodiment, the design of the server cabinet further includes a storage device 4, which is installed on the second cabinet body 2 and is located in the communication space. The main function of the storage device 4 is to store and organize the connection structure in the cabinet, such as the cable assembly 332 and the water pipe assembly 331. In this way, the storage device 4 helps to keep the interior of the cabinet clean and orderly, and also facilitates the maintenance personnel to manage and inspect the connection structure.

[0139] In addition, the design of the collection and management device 4 also takes into account the effective use of the internal space of the cabinet, ensures the reasonable layout of the connection structure, avoids the disorder of cables and pipes, and reduces the risk of interference and damage that may occur during maintenance and upgrades. This design not only improves the aesthetics of the cabinet, but also improves the operation and maintenance efficiency and reliability of the server cabinet. Through the integration of the collection and management device 4, the internal management and maintenance of the server cabinet becomes more efficient and orderly.

[0140] Please continue to refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the receiving and organizing device 4 is located on a side of the second cabinet 2, and there are multiple receiving and organizing devices 4, and the multiple receiving and organizing devices 4 are distributed in the length direction of the server cabinet and / or the multiple receiving and organizing devices 4 are distributed in the height direction of the server cabinet.

[0141] In this embodiment, the collecting and organizing device 4 is specially designed to be located on the side of the second cabinet 2. Such a layout allows the collecting and organizing device 4 to be closer to the connection structure inside the cabinet, which is convenient for management and organization. Moreover, there is not a single collecting and organizing device 4, but multiple collecting and organizing devices 4, which are distributed in the length direction of the server cabinet and also in the height direction of the server cabinet.

[0142] Such a layout improves the use efficiency of the collection and management device 4, ensures that the lines and pipes inside the cabinet can be neatly managed and maintained, thereby improving the cleanliness of the entire server cabinet and the convenience of operation and maintenance.

[0143] In addition, this design also allows the location and quantity of the receiving and processing device 4 to be flexibly adjusted according to the specific cabinet layout and equipment installation requirements to adapt to different operation and maintenance scenarios and specific requirements of the data center. This flexibility and scalability is an important feature of the server cabinet design in this embodiment.

[0144] In some embodiments, the receiving and processing device 4 includes:

[0145] The base 41 is installed on the second cabinet 2, and the base 41 is provided with a hinge seat 411 and a locking hole;

[0146] The rotating plate 42 is rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 411. When the rotating plate 42 is rotated to a closed angle, a circumferentially closed and axially through accommodating channel is formed between the rotating plate 42 and the base 41. The rotating plate 42 is fixed on the base 41 by the cooperation of the hand screw and the locking hole.

[0147] In this embodiment, the design details of the storage and management device 4 are further explained. It is composed of several key parts to achieve its functions. First, the base 41 is installed on the second cabinet 2. The base 41 not only provides a stable support, but also has a hinge seat 411 and a locking hole. These features enable the base 41 to work in conjunction with other parts of the storage and management device 4.

[0148] The rotating plate 42 is designed to be rotatably mounted on the hinge seat 411. This design allows the rotating plate 42 to be opened or closed when needed, providing a convenient access and storage space. When the rotating plate 42 is rotated to the closed position, a circumferentially closed and axially through receiving channel is formed between it and the base 41. This channel is specially designed to receive and store connection structures, such as the cable assembly 332 and the water pipe assembly 331.

[0149] The rotating plate 42 is fixed to the base 41 by the cooperation of a hand screw (a second hand screw 43 as shown in the figure) and a locking hole. This fixing method not only ensures the stability of the rotating plate 42, but also allows maintenance personnel to easily open or close the rotating plate 42 when necessary to perform maintenance or arrangement of the connection structure.

[0150] Through this design, the collection device 4 not only improves the cleanliness and organization inside the cabinet, but also increases the protection of the connection structure, reduces the risk of damage that may occur during maintenance and upgrades, thereby improving the reliability and operation and maintenance efficiency of the entire server cabinet.

[0151] In the present application, the side distribution scheme of the connection structure and the collection and management device 4 also solves the interference problem. Specifically, by using hand-screws to fix the base 41 of the collection and management device 4, this design can effectively prevent the connection structure of the second cabinet 2 from interfering with the first cabinet 1 when the second cabinet 2 is pushed into the first cabinet 1. This strategy not only takes into account the limited space inside the cabinet, but also takes into account the necessity of pipe and cable management.

[0152] In addition, the use of hand screws (such as the first hand screw 341 or the second hand screw 43) to fix the expansion device 3 and the receiving device 4 simplifies the installation and maintenance process. Compared with the traditional screw fixing method, the advantage of hand screws is that no power tools or other equipment are required, and maintenance personnel can complete the installation by manual rotation, which significantly improves the flexibility and convenience of operation. This design reflects the emphasis on operation and maintenance efficiency and maintenance simplicity, which is in line with the pursuit of high efficiency and high adaptability of modern data centers.

[0153] In some embodiments, the first cabinet body 1 includes a first top cover, a first bottom plate and a first side plate, the first top cover and the first bottom plate are spaced apart in the height direction, the top end of the first side plate is connected to the first top cover, the bottom end of the first side plate is connected to the first side plate, and the interior of the first top cover, the first bottom plate and the first side plate forms a cabinet space; a plurality of sets of slide rail devices are provided on the inner side of the first side plate, and the plurality of sets of slide rail devices are distributed along the height direction.

[0154] The second cabinet 2 includes a second top cover, a second bottom plate and a second side plate. The second top cover and the second bottom plate are spaced apart in the height direction. The top end of the second side plate is connected to the second top cover, and the bottom end of the second side plate is connected to the second side plate. The interior of the second top cover, the second bottom plate and the second side plate forms a cabinet space. The outer side of the second side plate is provided with a slide rail member that slides with the slide rail device. The second cabinet 2 can be pulled and slid in the front and rear directions relative to the first cabinet 1. The second cabinet 2 corresponds to the slide rail device one by one, and multiple second cabinets 2 are spaced apart in the height direction. The second cabinet 2 is used to realize the stacked installation of the chassis 5 in the cabinet space, and the chassis 5 can be pulled and slid in the front and rear directions relative to the second cabinet 2.

[0155] Please refer to Fig.12 , Fig.12 A schematic diagram of a second cabinet provided in another embodiment of the present application.

[0156] like Fig.12As shown, the expansion device 3 and the collection device 4 are arranged as a set and are arranged in groups in the height direction. The outer side of the second side panel is provided with a first expansion device 3 and a plurality of collection devices 4 for collecting and organizing the connection structure connected to the first expansion device 3 in the length direction of the first height. The outer side of the second side panel is provided with a second expansion device 3 and a plurality of collection devices 4 for collecting and organizing the connection structure connected to the second expansion device 3 in the length direction of the second height.

[0157] In this embodiment, the design of the expansion device 3 and the collection and management device 4 takes into account the space utilization and maintenance convenience of the server cabinet in the height direction. The expansion device 3 and the collection and management device 4 are set as a set, which means that they are designed and arranged to jointly perform specific functions.

[0158] Specifically, the second side panel of the second cabinet body 2 is provided with expansion devices 3 at two different heights. At the first height, the first expansion device 3 is installed on the outer side of the second side panel, and a plurality of storage devices 4 are matched therewith, and these storage devices 4 are specifically used to store and organize the connection structure connected to the first expansion device 3. Such a design enables the connection structure at the first height to be effectively managed and maintained, ensuring the neatness and orderliness of the interior of the cabinet. Optionally, the first expansion device 3 includes a water distribution module 321, and the connection structure is a water pipe assembly 331.

[0159] Similarly, at the second height, a second expansion device 3 is installed on the outer side of the second side panel, and multiple storage devices 4 cooperate with it, which are also responsible for storing and organizing the connection structure connected to the second expansion device 3. Optionally, the second expansion device 3 includes a network port module 322, and the connection structure is a cable assembly 332.

[0160] Through this design, the server cabinet can better adapt to the installation requirements of equipment at different heights, realize the flexibility and customization of functional support, and ensure the orderliness and maintainability of the connection structure. This height-direction grouping setting improves the flexibility and scalability of the cabinet, allowing the cabinet to serve a more complex and diverse data center environment.

[0161] In the present application, the design of the server cabinet allows flexible selection and installation of functional modules according to the specific needs of the chassis 5. For example, for a chassis 5 that needs to enhance the heat dissipation function, a water distribution module 321 can be installed to better manage the distribution of the cooling liquid. For a chassis 5 that needs to enhance the network management function, a network port module 322 can be installed to optimize the network connection.

[0162] A significant advantage of this design is its personalization and flexibility. Users can freely select and combine modules with different functions according to their actual needs and the specific functional requirements of the equipment inside the cabinet. This flexibility breaks the limitation of the single functional layout of traditional cabinets, allowing the cabinet to adapt to diverse application scenarios and personalized needs, providing users with richer and more flexible choices. In this way, the design of the server cabinet meets the pursuit of high efficiency, high adaptability and user customization needs of modern data centers.

[0163] In some embodiments, the first cabinet 1 is a 21-inch cabinet, the second cabinet 2 is a 19-inch cabinet, and the chassis 5 is a 19-inch chassis.

[0164] In this embodiment, the server cabinet includes a first cabinet body 1 with a specification of 21 inches as an external frame, a second cabinet body 2 with a specification of 19 inches housed inside the first cabinet body 1 as an internal frame, and a chassis 5 with a specification of 19 inches installed inside the second cabinet body 2 as an internal chassis.

[0165] The design of the server cabinet follows the standardized size in the industry to ensure compatibility and practicality. Specifically, the specification of the first cabinet 1 is defined as a 21-inch cabinet. This larger size provides sufficient external space for the entire server cabinet to accommodate multiple second cabinets 2 and other necessary components.

[0166] The second cabinet 2 is a 19-inch cabinet, which is a standard size commonly found in data centers and is suitable for installing various server devices. Since the second cabinet 2 is designed to be installed inside the first cabinet 1, their sizes are matched to ensure efficient use of space. In addition, the chassis 5 are also 19 inches, which means they can be directly installed in the second cabinet 2, maintaining the standardization and modularization of the equipment and facilitating installation, maintenance and upgrades.

[0167] By adopting these standardized dimensions, the design of the server cabinet not only improves space utilization efficiency, but also ensures compatibility with existing equipment, while also facilitating future expansion and upgrades. This design meets the data center's needs for flexibility and scalability, while also providing users with a convenient equipment integration solution.

[0168] In a specific implementation, the server cabinet further includes a security control system.

[0169] In this application, the design of the server cabinet places special emphasis on the construction of a safety control system, especially temperature monitoring, to ensure the stability and safety of the data center. The system consists of three key temperature sensors, an integrated controller, a multi-function alarm, an intuitive user interface and a remote notification mechanism.

[0170] The core of the system is three temperature sensors, which are responsible for monitoring the temperature of different areas. The first temperature sensor is embedded in the water distribution module 321, focusing on the temperature monitoring of the coolant to ensure that the cooling system works as expected. The second temperature sensor is located in the network port module 322, monitoring the cable temperature to prevent network failures caused by overheating. The newly added third temperature sensor is installed on the inside of the second cabinet 2, close to the chassis 5, to monitor the temperature of the server components in real time and provide key operating status data for the system.

[0171] The controller, as the center of the system, receives temperature signals from all sensors and compares them with the preset safe temperature range. If any abnormality is detected, the controller will immediately activate the alarm. The alarm is designed to respond quickly in emergencies. It not only sounds an alarm, but also provides visual warnings through flashing lights of different colors and patterns, allowing maintenance personnel to quickly identify the type of problem and take appropriate measures.

[0172] The user interface design provides a clear display of real-time temperature data and system status, allowing operators to monitor the thermal management status of the cabinet at any time. In addition, the system's remote notification function can notify operators in time via email, SMS or mobile application when an abnormality is detected, ensuring a quick response even in remote situations.

[0173] The design of the security control system strictly complies with the security standards of the data center, including data encryption and access control, to ensure the security and integrity of the monitoring data. The design of this system not only improves the temperature monitoring capabilities of the server cabinet, but also significantly enhances the data center's ability to prevent and respond to potential overheating problems, ensuring the stable operation of the data center and the safety of the equipment.

[0174] The present application also provides a server, including the above-mentioned server cabinet, which should have all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned server cabinet, which will not be described one by one here.

[0175] The present application also provides a data center, including the above-mentioned server, which should have all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned server cabinet, which will not be described one by one here.

[0176] It should be noted that many of the components mentioned in this application are universal standard parts or components known to those skilled in the art, and their structures and principles can be learned by those skilled in the art through technical manuals or through conventional experimental methods.

[0177] It should be noted that, in this specification, relational terms such as first and second are merely used to distinguish one entity from other entities, but do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities.
