[0094] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings illustrate representative embodiments of the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0095] Figure 1 The present invention illustrates a cabinet 100 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The cabinet 100 is used to house a device 200. For example, the device 200 may be an electronic device such as a server. Thus, the cabinet 100 can be used to house a server. In particular, the cabinet 100 can be used to house multiple servers. The cabinet 100 can also provide refrigerant to the device 200 to reduce its temperature and prevent overheating.

[0096] Specifically, the cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 110, which is used to accommodate the device 200. The device 200 can be constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure. The cabinet body 110 is constructed as a rectangular parallelepiped structure to facilitate processing and match the shape of the device 200. The cabinet body 110 includes four columns, which are respectively located at the corners of the cabinet body 110. The cabinet body 110 also includes a crossbeam, which connects two adjacent columns for supporting the columns. The height direction of the cabinet body 110 is parallel to the thickness direction of the device 200. The depth direction of the cabinet body 110 is parallel to the length direction of the device 200. The width direction of the cabinet body 110 is parallel to the width direction of the device 200. The device 200 can move along the depth direction of the cabinet body 110 to enter the cabinet body 110 or take it out of the cabinet body 110.

[0097] In order to ensure the accuracy of the movement of the device 200, the cabinet 100 further includes a guide device 120, which is provided in the cabinet body 110. The guide device 120 is located inside the cabinet body 110 and can guide the movement of the device 200. Figure 4As shown, the guide device 120 includes a guide plate 121, which is constructed as a roughly plate-shaped structure. The length direction of the guide plate 121 is parallel to the depth direction of the cabinet 110. The thickness direction of the guide plate 121 is parallel to the width direction of the cabinet 110. The width direction of the guide plate 121 is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 110. The guide plate 121 can guide the device 200 to move along the depth direction of the cabinet 110. The length direction of the guide plate 121 is parallel to the length direction of the device 200 to ensure that the guide plate 121 can guide the device 200 to move. The dimension of the guide plate 121 along the depth direction of the cabinet 110 is greater than the dimension of the device 200 to ensure that the guide plate 121 continues to guide the device 200 when the device 200 moves.

[0098] The guide device 120 is used to clamp the device 200. As an optional embodiment, the guide device 120 includes two guide plates 121, and the two guide plates 121 are spaced apart along the first direction D1. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the arrow of the "first direction D1" points to the upper left side of the page. It is understandable that the arrow of the "first direction D1" can also point to the lower right side of the page. The two guide plates 121 can form a clamping structure. The guide plates 121 are used to fit with the device 200. The device 200 is arranged between the two guide plates 121, and the two guide plates 121 can jointly support the device 200. As a result, the two guide plates 121 can jointly guide the movement of the device 200, ensuring that the device 200 moves to the set position.

[0099] The guide device 120 is also capable of moving along a first direction D1. The two guide plates 121 are arranged relative to each other along the first direction D1. In this embodiment, the first direction D1 is parallel to the width direction of the cabinet 110, and the first direction D1 is parallel to the width direction of the device 200. The guide plate 121 is capable of moving along the first direction D1. The guide plate 121 is capable of moving toward the device 200 along the first direction D1, or the guide plate 121 is capable of moving away from the device 200 along the first direction D1. The two guide plates 121 are capable of moving toward each other along the first direction D1 to reduce the distance between the two guide plates 121. The two guide plates 121 are capable of moving away from each other along the first direction D1 to increase the distance between the two guide plates 121.

[0100] The guide plate 121 can guide the device 200 to move along the second direction D2. Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the arrow indicating the "second direction D2" points to the upper right side of the page. It is understood that the arrow indicating the "second direction D2" may also point to the lower left side of the page. The device 200 is movable along the second direction D2 between the two guide plates 121. The second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The second direction D2 is parallel to the depth of the cabinet 110. The second direction D2 is also parallel to the length of the device 200.

[0101] As the device 200 moves between the two guide plates 121, it applies a force along the first direction D1 to the guide plates 121, driving them away from the device 200 and thereby increasing the distance between the two guide plates 121 along the first direction D1. Simultaneously, both guide plates 121 apply a force toward the device 200, toward the interior of the device 200, to ensure that the device 200 moves along the first direction D1 to a locked position and prevents deviation. This ensures that the device 200 is precisely positioned when inserted into the cabinet 100.

[0102] To ensure that the guide plate 121 moves into position, the cabinet 100 further includes a limiting device 180 connected to the guide device 120 to limit the displacement of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. Thus, the limiting device 180 can position the guide device 120 to different positions. Preferably, the limiting device 180 can position the guide plate 121 to different positions.

[0103] The cabinet 100 also includes a locking device 160, which is used to fix the device 200. The device 200 can be fixed to a predetermined locking position. The cabinet 100 also includes a cooling device 140, which is located inside the cabinet body 110. The cooling device 140 is used to connect to the device 200 located in the locking position, so as to transmit refrigerant to the device 200, thereby reducing the temperature of the device 200. As a result, the device 200 can be accurately moved to the locking position, and the device 200 located in the locking position is ensured not to move. There is no need to manually plug the device 200 and the cooling device 140 together, which improves accuracy and efficiency and reduces workload.

[0104] According to the cabinet 100 of the present application, the cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 110, a locking device 160, and a limiting device 180. The cabinet body 110 is used to accommodate the device 200. A guide device 120 is provided in the cabinet body 110. The guide device 120 is used to clamp the device 200. The guide device 120 can move along a first direction D1. The locking device 160 is used to fix the device 200. The limiting device 180 is connected to the guide device 120 to limit the displacement of the guide device 120 along the first direction D1, and to position the guide device 120 to different positions. According to the cabinet of the present application, the guide device 120 can accurately center and clamp the device 200, ensuring that the position of the device 200 in the cabinet body 110 is accurate. The limiting device 180 limits the movement of the guide device 120 to achieve positioning of devices 200 of different sizes, so that the cabinet body 110 can accommodate devices 200 of different sizes at the same time.

[0105] Specifically, the guide plate 121 includes at least two curved step portions 122, and the at least two curved step portions 122 are arranged facing the device 200. The guide plate 121 includes a first surface and a second surface, and the first surface and the second surface face opposite directions along the first direction D1. The first surface is used to face the device 200, and the second surface is used to face away from the device 200. The at least two curved step portions 122 are both located on the first surface. The first surface is used to fit with the device 200. At least two curved step portions 122 are used to contact the device 200. The curved step portion 122 protrudes along the first direction D1 toward the device 200. The curved step portion 122 has a smooth transition to facilitate the movement of the device 200 in the pulling direction. The curved step portion 122 guides the device 200 to ensure that the distance between the two guide plates 121 matches the width dimension of the device 200.

[0106] At least two curved step portions 122 are spaced apart along the second direction D2, so that the device 200 moves smoothly along the second direction D2 when the fitting guide plate 121 moves, thereby making the device 200 move more smoothly. Furthermore, the at least two curved step portions 122 include a first curved step portion and a second curved step portion, and the first curved step portion is closer to the cooling device 140 than the second curved step portion along the second direction D2. The first curved step portion is closer to the device 200 than the second curved step portion along the first direction D1. In this way, the first curved step portion is closer to the middle of the cabinet 110 than the second curved step portion. Moreover, in the first direction D1, the distance between the curved step portions 122 close to the cooling device 140 is smaller than the distance between the curved step portions 122 away from the cooling device 140.

[0107] Each guide plate 121 includes a first curved step portion and a second curved step portion, and the distance between the two first curved step portions along the first direction D1 is less than the distance between the two second curved step portions. The distance between the two guide plates 121 decreases step by step along the second direction D2. In this way, the distance between the two guide plates 121 decreases step by step toward the cooling device 140. Each guide plate 121 is provided with at least two curved step portions 122 along the second direction D2, with one curved step portion 122 corresponding to each level. The number of curved step portions 122 corresponds to the number of levels of the guide plates 121. This reduces the distance between the two guide plates 121 as they get closer to the cooling device 140, thereby increasing the accuracy of the position of the device 200 as it moves along the second direction D2. The closer the device 200 gets to the cooling device 140, the more accurately the two guide plates 121 control the position of the device 200.

[0108] In order to ensure that the guide plate 121 can be stably connected to the cabinet 110, the guide device 120 also includes a frame 123, and the frame 123 is connected to the cabinet 110. In particular, the frame 123 is connected to the column. The frame 123 is constructed as a drawer-like structure. The four corners of the frame 123 are respectively connected to the four columns. The frame 123 can be connected to the columns by welding. The width direction of the frame 123 is parallel to the first direction D1, the length direction of the frame 123 is parallel to the second direction D2, and the thickness direction of the frame 123 is parallel to the thickness direction of the cabinet 110.

[0109] The frame 123 includes a fixed plate 124, which is constructed in a generally plate-like structure. The thickness of the fixed plate 124 is parallel to the first direction D1, the length of the fixed plate 124 is parallel to the second direction D2, and the width of the fixed plate 124 is parallel to the height of the cabinet 110. The two fixed plates 124 are arranged opposite each other along the first direction D1. The two fixed plates 124 are spaced apart along the first direction D1. The guide plate 121 is positioned between the two fixed plates 124 along the first direction D1. Both guide plates 121 are positioned between the two fixed plates 124 along the first direction D1. The guide plates 121 and the fixed plates 124 are also spaced apart along the first direction D1. The device 200 applies a force to the guide plates 121, which can drive the guide plates 121 to move along the first direction D1 toward the fixed plates 124. A space is formed between the guide plates 121 and the fixed plates 124 along the first direction D1, providing space for the guide plates 121 to move along the first direction D1.

[0110] The guide device 120 also includes a first elastic member 125, which is configured as a spring. The first elastic member 125 is capable of deforming along a first direction D1. The first elastic member 125 is located between the fixed plate 124 and the guide plate 121. One end of the first elastic member 125 is connected to the fixed plate 124, and the other end of the first elastic member 125 is connected to the guide plate 121. In this way, the guide plate 121 is connected to the fixed plate 124 via the first elastic member 125. The first elastic member 125 can also apply a supporting force to the guide plate 121 to prevent it from tipping over. The first elastic member 125 can also apply an elastic force to the guide plate 121 in a direction toward the device 200. The guide device 120 includes at least two first elastic members 125, which are spaced apart along the second direction D2 to jointly apply a force to the same guide plate 121, ensuring smooth movement of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1.

[0111] As an optional embodiment, two first elastic members 125 are located on either side of the frame 123 along the first direction D1. A first elastic member 125 is disposed between the fixing plate 124 and the guide plate 121 on either side of the frame 123. The two first elastic members 125 apply a force to the two guide plates 121, respectively, so that the two guide plates 121 can move synchronously along the first direction D1 toward the device 200.

[0112] A first elastic member 125 can apply a force to one guide plate 121 to move along the first direction D1 toward the other guide plate 121, so that one guide plate 121 returns to its original position. Another first elastic member 125 can apply a force to the other guide plate 121 to move along the first direction D1 toward one guide plate 121, so that the other guide plate 121 returns to its original position. The device 200 can squeeze the two guide plates 121 at the same time, so that the two guide plates 121 can squeeze the two first elastic members 125 respectively, and the two first elastic members 125 can be compressed at the same time. The two first elastic members 125 can apply a force to the two guide plates 121 at the same time, ensuring the synchronization of the movement of the two guide plates 121, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the position of the device 200 relative to the cabinet 110, and ensuring that the device 200 can accurately move to the locked position.

[0113] Furthermore, to prevent the device 200 from falling, the frame 123 further includes a support plate 126, which is located below the device 200. The support plate 126 is used to support the device 200. The support plate 126 is located below the guide plate 121. The support plate 126 is also located below the fixing plate 124. The support plate 126 is constructed as a plate-like structure. The width direction of the support plate 126 is parallel to the first direction D1, the length direction of the support plate 126 is parallel to the second direction D2, and the thickness direction of the support plate 126 is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 110.

[0114] The support plate 126 further includes a groove 127. The length of the groove 127 is parallel to the first direction D1, the width of the groove 127 is parallel to the second direction D2, and the depth of the groove 127 is parallel to the height of the cabinet 110. The support plate 126 includes an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface of the support plate 126 faces the device 200, and the lower surface of the support plate 126 faces away from the device 200. The groove 127 is provided on the upper surface of the support plate 126. The groove 127 is recessed downward from the upper surface of the support plate 126 along the height of the cabinet 110.

[0115] The guide plate 121 is fitted with the support plate 126. The guide plate 121 is fitted with the upper surface of the support plate 126. The guide plate 121 also includes a protrusion, which protrudes from the guide plate 121 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. The protrusion is inserted into the groove 127, and the protrusion can move relative to the groove 127 along the first direction D1. In this way, the guide plate 121 can move relative to the groove 127 along the first direction D1, and the guide plate 121 can move relative to the support plate 126 along the first direction D1. The groove 127 provides a guiding function for the guide plate 121, and can ensure that the various parts of the same guide plate 121 can move synchronously along the first direction D1 at the same time.

[0116] When device 200 is mounted, it compresses guide plate 121 and second elastic member 125, causing guide plate 121 to move along groove 127. As device 200 continues to enter, second elastic member 125 continuously adjusts its position based on the amount of compression, guiding device 200 between the two guide plates 121 until device 200 is fully inserted into frame 123. The protrusions of guide plates 121 move within grooves 127 of support plate 126, with the two guide plates 121 tightly fitting against either side of device 200. These two guide plates 121 clamp device 200, ensuring it is positioned centrally within frame 123 and meeting the centering deviation requirements for blind insertion.

[0117] like Figure 4As shown, the locking device 160 is used to fix the device 200. The locking device 160 is connected to the guide device 120. Locking devices 160 are provided on both sides of the guide device 120 along the first direction D1, and the position of the locking device 160 can be adjusted according to the application situation. The locking device 160 and the cooling device 140 are respectively located on both sides of the cabinet 110 along the second direction D2. The cabinet 110 may also include a cabinet door and a back panel, and the cabinet door and the back panel are respectively located on both sides of the cabinet 110 along the second direction D2. The device 200 enters the interior of the cabinet 110 through the cabinet door, and the device 200 moves along the second direction D2 toward the back panel so that the entire device 200 can be located inside the cabinet 110. The locking device 160 is close to the cabinet door, and the cooling device 140 is close to the back panel. In this way, it is convenient to arrange the cooling device 140 and prevent the cooling device 140 from interfering with the movement of the device 200.

[0118] The locking device 160 is used to connect to the device 200. The locking device 160 is located on the outside of the guide plate 121 relative to the device 200 along the first direction D1. In this embodiment, "outside" refers to the side away from the device 200, and "inside" refers to the side close to the device 200. The guide device 120 is located between the device 200 and the locking device 160 along the first direction D1. To ensure that the locking device 160 can be connected to the device 200, at least a portion of the locking device 160 protrudes from the guide plate 121. A portion of the locking device 160 along the first direction D1 can be located on the inside of the guide plate 121, and another portion of the locking device 160 along the first direction D1 can be located on the outside of the guide plate 121.

[0119] For example, the length of the guide plate 121 along the second direction D2 is shorter than the length of the fixing plate 124. The portion of the fixing plate 124 near the cabinet door protrudes from the guide plate 121. In this way, a portion of the space between the guide plate 121 and the fixing plate 124 is exposed in the first direction D1. A portion of the locking device 160 can be installed in the exposed space, and a portion of the locking device 160 can protrude from the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. In this way, the device 200 can be connected to a portion of the locking device 160. Of course, the entire locking device 160 can be installed in the above-mentioned exposed space, so that the entire locking device 160 protrudes from the guide plate 121, thereby facilitating the connection between the device 200 and the locking device 160.

[0120] The specific structure of the locking device 160 is as follows Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the locking device 160 includes a track 161 extending parallel to the second direction D2. The track 161 is connected to the guide device 120. In particular, the track 161 is connected to the fixing plate 124. The track 161 can be fixedly connected to the fixing plate 124 by welding. The track 161 is configured as a generally U-shaped groove. The opening of the U-shaped groove is oriented toward the guide plate 121. The opening of the U-shaped groove is intended to be oriented toward the device 200.

[0121] The locking device 160 also includes a sliding member 162, which is disposed in the track 161. The sliding member 162 is movable relative to the track 161. The sliding member 162 is movable relative to the track 161 along the second direction D2. The sliding member 162 can be inserted into the U-shaped groove and is inseparable from the U-shaped groove. The sliding member 162 is used to engage with the device 200. The device 200 is relatively fixed to the sliding member 162. The device 200 can drive the sliding member 162 to move along the second direction D2 toward the cooling device 140, and the sliding member 162 can also drive the device 200 to move along the second direction D2 in a direction away from the cooling device 140.

[0122] The locking device 160 also includes a locking member 163, which is used to lock the sliding member 162. The locking member 163 is constructed as a U-shaped rod-like structure. One end 164 of the locking member 163 is pivotally connected to the track 161. One end 164 of the locking member 163 is capable of rotating about a pivot axis. The direction of the pivot axis is parallel to the first direction D1. The locking member 163 is capable of rotating relative to the track 161. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 is movably connected to the sliding member 162. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 is capable of swinging relative to the sliding member 162. The locking member 163 is movable between an initial position and a locked position. The locking member 163 is movable to a position where it is locked with the sliding member 162.

[0123] The sliding member 162 moves relative to the track 161 along the second direction D2 to drive the locking member 163 to swing, thereby enabling the locking member 163 to lock with the sliding member 162. The sliding member 162 engages with the locking member 163 in the locked position. In particular, the sliding member 162 engages with the other end 165 of the locking member 163 in the locked position. As a result, the sliding member 162 and the locking member 163 are relatively fixed. The device 200 is fixed to the locked position, and the device 200 in the locked position is fixed relative to the track 161. The device 200 in the locked position is fixed relative to the guide device 120.

[0124] Furthermore, the sliding member 162 is provided with a groove 166, in which the other end 165 of the locking member 163 is movable. The groove 166 guides the locking member 163, thereby enabling the locking member 163 to move between the initial position and the locked position. The groove 166 is configured as a closed loop. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 is able to circumferentially move within the groove 166.

[0125] The groove 166 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 167, and the snap-fit ​​portion 167 of the groove 166 of the sliding member 162 abuts against the other end 165 of the locking member 163 along the second direction D2. In this way, the locking member 163 and the groove 166 are relatively fixed. The snap-fit ​​portion 167 of the groove 166 of the sliding member 162 is snap-fitted with the other end 165 of the locking member 163. The snap-fit ​​portion 167 is configured as a V-shaped groove. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 is snap-fitted with the bottom of the V-shaped groove. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 abuts against the V-shaped groove along the second direction D2. The sliding member 162 does not move relative to the rail 161 along the second direction D2. As a result, the locking device 160 locks the device 200, so that the device 200 is fixed to the locked position.

[0126] The groove 166 further includes an inclined portion 168, a first straight portion 169, and a second straight portion 170. The first straight portion 169 and the second straight portion 170 are connected by the inclined portion 168. The inclined portion 168 extends upward along the second direction D2 toward the cooling device 140. The inclined portion 168 and the engaging portion 167 are respectively located on either side of the first straight portion 169 along the second direction D2. The inclined portion 168 and the engaging portion 167 are respectively located on either side of the second straight portion 170 along the second direction D2. The first straight portion 169 and the second straight portion 170 are connected on one side along the second direction D2 by the inclined portion 168, and the first straight portion 169 and the second straight portion 170 are connected on the other side along the second direction D2 by the engaging portion 167.

[0127] The first straight portion 169 is located below the second straight portion 170. The sliding member 162 moves from the initial position to the locked position along the second direction D2 toward the cooling device 140. The locking member 163, located in the initial position, moves to the engaging portion 167 via the inclined portion 168 and the first straight portion 169. The device 200 drives the sliding member 162 toward the cooling device 140, so that the other end of the locking member 163 moves downward from one side of the second straight portion 170 into the inclined portion 168. The device 200 continues to drive the sliding member 162 to move, so that the other end of the locking member 163 moves downward in the inclined portion 168 into the first straight portion 169. The other end of the locking member 163 moves in the first straight portion 169 toward the engaging portion 167. The first straight portion 169 is provided with an inclined surface 179 to indicate that the other end of the locking member 163 has moved into the first straight portion 169. The other end of the locking member 163 moves upward along the height direction of the cabinet 110 to the engaging portion 167. The locking member in the locked position engages with the engaging portion 167. The engaging portion 167 of the groove 166 of the sliding member 162 engages with the other end 165 of the locking member 163.

[0128] The sliding member 162 moves from the locked position to the initial position along the second direction D2, away from the cooling device 140. The sliding member 162 can move the device 200 to the initial position, thereby allowing the device 200 to be removed from the cabinet 110. The locking device 160 also includes a second elastic member 171, which can move the sliding member 162 along the second direction D2, away from the cooling device 140. The second elastic member 171 is configured as a spring and can be elastically deformed along the second direction D2.

[0129] One end 172 of the second elastic member 171 is connected to the track 161, which constrains the second elastic member 171. The other end 173 of the second elastic member 171 is connected to the sliding member 162. The second elastic member 171 is capable of elastic deformation along the second direction D2 to apply an elastic force to the sliding member 162 in a direction away from the cooling device 140. The device 200 drives the sliding member 162 to move along the second direction D2 toward the cooling device 140, thereby stretching the second elastic member 171. The stretched second elastic member 171 is capable of pulling the sliding member 162 back along the second direction D2. The second elastic member 171 applies an elastic force to the sliding member 162 away from the cooling device 140, causing the sliding member 162 to move along the second direction D2 away from the cooling device 140.

[0130] When the operator presses on the locked device 200, the other end 165 of the locking member 163 moves upward from the engaging portion 167, away from the cooling device 140, separating the other end 165 of the locking member 163 from the engaging portion 167. The second elastic member 171 applies an elastic force to the sliding member 162, causing the locking member 163, located in the engaging portion 168, to move into the second linear portion 170. The other end 165 of the locking member 163 moves from the top of the engaging portion 167 into the second linear portion 170, returning to its original position, thereby unlocking the device 200.

[0131] The groove 166 is constructed in a Y-shape. In order to ensure that the other end of the locking member 163 is located in the initial position, the groove 166 also includes an extension portion 176. One end of the second straight portion 170 and the inclined portion 168 are also connected to the extension portion 176. In this way, the locking member 163 in the second straight portion 170 can move into the extension portion 176. The second straight portion 170 is provided with a blocking step 178 to prevent the locking member 163 located in the extension portion 176 and the inclined portion 168 from moving back into the second straight portion 170, thereby avoiding affecting the movement of the device 200. The locking member 163 in the initial position is located in the extension portion 176. The extension portion 176 can support the locking member 163 to prevent the locking member 163 from falling under the action of gravity. The locking member 163 in the extension portion 176 in the initial position can move into the inclined portion 168, thereby allowing the locking member to move to the locked position.

[0132] In order to ensure the accuracy of the movement of the device 200, the track 161 has a guide groove 174, which is located on the side of the sliding member 162. The guide groove 174 is located above the sliding member 162 along the height direction of the cabinet 110. The sliding member 162 includes a guide column 177 and a snap-fit ​​member 175, and the guide column 177 protrudes from the snap-fit ​​member 175 along the third direction D3. The snap-fit ​​member 175 is constructed as a whole. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. The third direction D3 is perpendicular to the second direction D2. The third direction D3 is parallel to the height direction of the cabinet 110. Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the arrow of the “third direction D3” points to the top of the page. It is understandable that the arrow of the “third direction D3” may also point to the bottom of the page.

[0133] like Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the engaging member 175 is used to engage with the device 200. The engaging member 175 is configured as a buckle. The device 200 includes a first end 201 and a second end 202, wherein the first end 201 of the device 200 is closer to the cooling device 140 than the second end 202. The second end 202 of the device 200 is closer to the cabinet door than the first end 201. The cooling device 140 is used to connect with the first end 201 of the device 200. The locking device 160 is used to connect with the second end 202 of the device 200. The second end 202 of the device 200 is provided with a flange. The engaging member 175 is used to engage with the flange of the second end 202 of the device 200.

[0134] Guide post 177 is inserted into guide slot 174. Furthermore, guide post 177 is movable relative to guide slot 174 in a second direction D2. Device 200 drives guide post 177 to move in this second direction D2. Thus, guide slot 174 guides the movement of guide post 177, thereby ensuring the accuracy of movement of device 200. Furthermore, guide slot 174 includes a horizontal section and an inclined section, which are connected to each other. The horizontal section is parallel to the second direction D2. The inclined section extends inwardly and tilted in the first direction D1 toward device 200. The inclined section extends inwardly and tilted in the second direction D2 toward cooling device 140. The horizontal section is closer to device 200 than the inclined section in the first direction D1. The horizontal section is closer to cooling device 140 than the inclined section in the second direction D2. Thus, guide post 177 moves in guide slot 174 along the direction of movement of sliding member 162, guiding guide post 177 without becoming stuck.

[0135] The guide post 177 is inserted into the inclined section, which allows the engaging member 175 to elastically deform along the first direction D1. In particular, the engaging member 175 can elastically deform along the first direction D1 away from the device 200, thereby separating the device 200 from the engaging member 175, thereby preventing an operator from manually prying the engaging member 175 apart.

[0136] In particular, the stopper 180 is connected to the frame 123. The stopper 180 is connected to the support plate 126. Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, the support plate 126 is provided with a slot, to which the stopper 180 is connected. The slot extends parallel to the first direction D1. The slot can be located on the upper surface or the lower surface of the support plate 126. The slot accommodates the stopper 180. The support plate 126 further has a first hole and a second hole, which are spaced apart along the first direction D1. The first hole is closer to the device 200 than the second hole along the first direction D1. The first hole and the second hole leave the upper surface of the support plate 126 open along the third direction D3.

[0137] For example, both the first hole and the second hole can be through holes, and the groove is located on the lower surface of the support plate 126. The limiting device 180 is located in the groove. The groove has a first hole and a second hole at each end along the first direction D1. A portion of the limiting device 180 is located in the first hole, and another portion of the limiting device 180 is located in the second hole. The first hole enables a portion of the limiting device 180 to protrude from the support plate 126, and the second hole enables another portion of the limiting device 180 to protrude from the support plate 126.

[0138] Alternatively, both the first and second holes may be blind holes, with the groove being located on the upper surface of the support plate 126. The stopper 180 is located within the groove. The groove has a first hole and a second hole at each end along the first direction D1. The first hole allows a portion of the stopper 180 to protrude from the support plate 126, while the second hole allows another portion of the stopper 180 to protrude from the support plate 126.

[0139] For example, the device 200 may be a 19-inch server. The limiting device 180 includes a connecting shaft 181 and a limiting rod 182. The connecting shaft 181 is connected to the support plate 126, and the limiting rod 182 is connected to the connecting shaft 181. The limiting rod 182 is connected to the support plate 126 through the connecting shaft 181. The middle portion of the limiting rod 182 is connected to the connecting shaft 181. The length direction of the limiting rod 182 is parallel to the first direction D1. The thickness direction of the limiting rod 182 is parallel to the second direction D2. The axial direction of the connecting shaft 181 is parallel to the second direction D2. Both side surfaces of the limiting rod 182 along the second direction D2 are connected to the connecting shaft 181. One end of the connecting shaft 181 along the second direction D2 is connected to the limiting rod 182, and the other end of the connecting shaft 181 along the second direction D2 is connected to the support plate 126. The connecting shaft 181 can rotate around the axial direction of the connecting shaft 181. The middle portion of the limiting rod 182 is connected to the connecting shaft 181, thereby forming a lever structure.

[0140] The limiting rod 182 includes an abutting end 183 and a limiting end 184, which are located at opposite ends of the limiting rod 182 along the first direction D1. A connecting shaft 181 is disposed between the abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184. Preferably, the limiting rod 182 also includes a body, with the abutting end 183 disposed at one end of the body along the first direction D1 and the limiting end 184 disposed at the other end of the body along the first direction D1. The abutting end 183 protrudes from the body along the third direction D3. The limiting end 184 protrudes from the body along the third direction D3, thereby facilitating protrusion from the support plate 126.

[0141] The limiting rod 182 can swing up and down along the third direction D3. The limiting rod 182 can move between an original position and a limited position. The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 in the original position is above the abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the original position is below the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position. The abutting end 183 is arranged corresponding to the first hole. The limiting end 184 is arranged corresponding to the second hole. In this way, the limiting device 180 can limit the guide plate 121 in different situations.

[0142] More specifically, the limiting rod 182 is connected to the support plate 126 at an angle. The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position is above the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position. The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position protrudes from the first hole. A portion of the abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position protrudes from the first hole along the first direction D1. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position does not protrude from the second hole. The device 200 is capable of pressing down the abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position. The device 200 applies a downward force to the abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 located in the original position, causing the abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 to move downward and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 to move upward.

[0143] The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position is below the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position. The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position is configured to be positioned below the device 200. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position protrudes from the second hole. A portion of the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position protrudes from the second hole. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the restricted position can prevent the guide plate 121 from moving in the first direction D1 away from the device 200.

[0144] The abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the original position are respectively located on both sides of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. The guide plate 121 is located between the abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the original position. The abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position are respectively located on both sides of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. The guide plate 121 is located between the abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position protrudes from the second hole. The abutting end 183 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position is located on the inner side of the guide plate 121, and the limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limited position is located on the outer side of the guide plate 121. The limiting end 184 of the limiting rod 182 in the limiting position blocks the guide plate 121 from moving in the first direction D1 away from the device 200. Thus, the guide plate 121 does not continue to move outward in the first direction D1. This ensures that the distance between the two guide plates 121 is a predetermined distance, thereby positioning the device 200.

[0145] The limiting device 180 also includes an intermediate elastic member 185, which is located in the middle of the limiting rod 182. The main body includes a large-sized portion 189 and a small-sized portion 190, which are connected to each other. The large-sized portion 189 is provided with an abutting end 183 and a connecting shaft 181 at both ends. The small-sized portion 190 is provided with a limiting end 194 and an intermediate elastic member 185 at both ends. The abutting end 183 is connected to the large-sized portion 189, and the limiting end 184 is connected to the small-sized portion 190. The intermediate elastic member 185 is located on the small-sized portion 190. The intermediate elastic member 185 abuts against the support plate 126. The intermediate elastic member 185 is also located between the connecting shaft 181 and the limiting end 184. The intermediate elastic member 185 can abut against the bottom wall of the groove to ensure that the limiting end 184 is located below the abutting end 183.

[0146] The length of the limit rod 182 can be adjusted to adjust the position of the limit end 184 relative to the support plate 126, and then adjust the position of the guide plate 121 relative to the support plate 126, so as to adapt to equipment 200 of different sizes, realize the shelving and precise positioning of equipment 200 of different sizes, and enhance the compatibility of the cabinet 100.

[0147] Of course, the device 200 can also be constructed as a server of a larger size, such as a 21-inch server. Figure 4As shown, the limiting device 180 also includes a limiting post 187, which protrudes from the support plate 126. The limiting post 187 is disposed on the upper surface of the support plate 126. The limiting post 187 can be fixedly connected to the support plate 126. The limiting post 187 and the device 200 are respectively located on both sides of the guide plate 121. The limiting post 187 can directly block the movement of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. The spacing between the two limiting posts 187 along the first direction D1 can match the size of a 21-inch server.

[0148] The 21-inch server moves on the support plate 126, which can directly drive the guide plate 121 to move to a position close to the fixed plate 124. The abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 can be located on the same side of the guide plate 121 along the first direction D1. The abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 are both located below the device 200. Neither the abutting end 183 nor the limiting end 184 protrudes from the support plate 126. The guide plate 121 is located on the outside of the abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 along the first direction D1. The limiting post 187 abuts against the guide plate 121, and the limiting post 187 is located on the other side of the guide plate 121. At this time, the limiting post 187 limits the movement of the guide plate 121.

[0149] The limiting device 180 further includes an abutting elastic member 186 connected to the abutting end 183. The abutting elastic member 186 and the abutting end 183 can be connected together by welding. The abutting elastic member 186 can undergo elastic deformation along the third direction D3. The abutting elastic member 186 is also located above the abutting end 183. Furthermore, the abutting elastic member 186 is configured to abut against the device 200. Thus, the abutting elastic member 186 can absorb the downward pressure of the device 200 along the third direction D3.

[0150] The limiting device 180 also includes a pressing member 188, which is located above the abutting elastic member 186 along the third direction D3. The pressing member 188 is connected to the abutting end 183 through the abutting elastic member 186. The abutting elastic member 186 is constructed as a spring. The abutting elastic member 186 can undergo elastic deformation along the third direction D3. The device 200 presses down the pressing member 188, and the pressing member 188 presses down the abutting elastic member 186. The abutting elastic member 186 can absorb the downward pressing stroke of the pressing member 188 along the third direction D3, ensuring that the abutting end 183 and the limiting end 184 can both be located below the device.

[0151] like Figure 2 As shown, the cooling device 140 may be a distributed heat exchange unit located inside the cabinet 110 and directly connected to the equipment 200 via the cooling device 140 to control the liquid cooling flow rate of the equipment 200 in a single cabinet 100 .

[0152] like Figure 3 As shown, cabinet 100 can be used in a centralized heat exchange unit cluster. The centralized heat exchange unit is connected to the secondary piping within the computer room via a distribution module. One or more distribution modules can simultaneously control multiple cabinets 100. The distribution modules have pre-set opening sizes that can be customized based on the heat dissipation requirements of the devices 200, adjusting the liquid flow rate to meet the cooling needs of devices 200 of varying specifications.

[0153] In order to facilitate the entry of the refrigerant into the device 200, Figure 8 As shown, the cooling device 140 also includes a water inlet pipe 141, a water outlet pipe 142, and a connecting assembly 143. The water inlet pipe 141 is used to provide refrigerant to the device 200, and the water outlet pipe 142 is used to receive the refrigerant discharged by the device 200. The water inlet pipe 141 and the water outlet pipe 142 are both connected to the support plate 126. The support plate 126 is provided with two water diversion holes 128, and the two water diversion holes 128 both penetrate the support plate 126 along the third direction D3. The water inlet pipe 141 and the water outlet pipe 142 are both provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 155, which snaps together with the support plate 126. The water inlet pipe 141 passes through one water diversion hole 128, and the water outlet pipe 142 passes through the other water diversion hole 128. The guide device 120 further includes two water diverter connectors 129 , one of which clamps the water inlet pipe 141 and one water diverter hole 128 together, and the other of which clamps the water outlet pipe 142 and another water diverter hole 128 together.

[0154] like Figures 9 to 12 As shown, the connection assembly 143 includes a male connector 144 and a female connector 145. The water inlet pipe 141 and the water outlet pipe 142 are both provided with male connectors 144, and the device 200 is provided with female connectors 145. The female connector 145 of the device 200 is mated with the male connector 144, thereby achieving a blind connection between the device 200 and the cooling device 140.

[0155] To further compensate for radial float between male connector 144 and female connector 145, male connector 144 or female connector 145 includes a base 146, a valve body 147, and a third elastic member 148. The third elastic member 148 is disposed between the base 146 and the valve body 147. The third elastic member 148 is capable of elastic deformation along the radial direction of the valve body 147. This allows the valve body 147 and the base 146 to move relative to each other along the radial direction of the valve body 147, ensuring that the male connector 144 and the female connector 145 are mated and connected.

[0156] exist Figure 10In the illustrated embodiment, the male connector 144 includes a base 146, a valve body 147, and a third elastic member 148. The base 146 is annular in structure. The base 146 includes a circular groove. The base 146 is connected to the water inlet pipe 141 or the water outlet pipe 142. The valve body 147 can be inserted into the base 146. The male connector 144 also includes a fastener for securing the valve body 147 to the base 146. A portion of the valve body 147 is inserted into the circular groove, while another portion of the valve body 147 protrudes from the base 146 in the axial direction of the valve body 147. The third elastic member 148 is disposed between the valve body 147 and the base 146. In particular, the third elastic member 148 is disposed between a portion of the valve body 147 and the circular groove. The third elastic member 148 is capable of elastic deformation in the radial direction of the valve body 147. A portion of the valve body 147 is relatively movable within the circular groove. In this way, when the male connector 144 and the female connector 145 are plugged in, a floating margin is formed between the valve body 147 and the base 146, thereby reducing the accuracy of blind plugging.

[0157] The valve body 147 also includes a connecting chamber, the axial direction of which is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 147. The axial direction of the valve body 147 is parallel to the second direction D2. The male connector 144 also includes a valve core 149 and a connecting elastic member 150, both of which are located in the connecting chamber. The connecting elastic member 150 is configured as a spring. The connecting elastic member 150 is capable of deforming along the axial direction of the valve body 147. The connecting chamber includes a connecting large-size portion 189 and a connecting small-size portion 190, and the size of the connecting large-size portion 189 along the radial direction of the valve body 147 is larger than the size of the connecting small-size portion 190.

[0158] The valve core 149 is disposed in the small-sized connection portion 190, and the connection elastic member 150 is disposed in the large-sized connection portion 189. The valve core 149 is in close contact with the small-sized connection portion 190. The large-sized connection portion 189 is closer to the seat 146 than the small-sized connection portion 190 in the axial direction of the valve body 147. The valve core 149 can compress the connection elastic member 150 in the axial direction of the valve body 147. The valve core 149 enters the large-sized connection portion 189 and is spaced apart from the large-sized connection portion 189.

[0159] Of course, male connector 144 also includes multiple sealing rings, one between base 146 and valve body 147, and another between valve body 147 and valve core 149. These sealing rings provide a seal and prevent fluid leakage. Male connector 144 also includes a retaining ring located between connecting elastic member 150 and base 146.

[0160] exist Figure 11In the illustrated embodiment, the female connector 145 includes a valve seat 151, a valve stem 152, a seal 153, and a mating elastic member 154. The valve stem 152, seal 153, and mating elastic member 154 are disposed within the valve seat 151. The axial direction of the valve seat 151 is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 147. The female connector 145 also includes a sealing ring, which is positioned between the seal 153 and the valve seat 151, and a retaining ring, which is positioned between the mating elastic member 154 and the valve seat 151.

[0161] The valve seat 151 includes a mating cavity whose axial direction is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 147. The mating cavity includes a mating oversize portion 189 and a mating undersize portion 190. The mating oversize portion 189 has a larger dimension in the radial direction of the valve body 147 than the mating undersize portion 190. The mating undersize portion 190 is closer to the valve body 147 than the mating oversize portion 189 in the axial direction of the valve body 147.

[0162] The seal 153 is located in the mating undersized portion 190 and is in close contact with the mating undersized portion 190. The mating elastic member 154 is located in the mating oversized portion 189. The seal 153 has a sealing hole, the axial direction of which is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 147. The axial direction of the valve stem 152 is parallel to the axial direction of the valve body 147. One end of the valve stem 152 is connected to the mating oversized portion 189, and the other end of the valve stem 152 is located in the seal 153. In particular, the other end of the valve stem 152 is located in the sealing hole. The valve stem 152 is movable in the axial direction of the valve body 147 relative to the seal 153.

[0163] The refrigerant in the device 200 can enter the connecting chamber through the matching chamber and then enter the water outlet pipe 142, so that the refrigerant is discharged.

[0164] The refrigerant in the water inlet pipe 141 can enter the matching chamber through the connecting chamber and then enter the device 200. Figure 9 As shown, the male connector 144 is mated with the female connector 145, and the valve body 147 extends axially into the valve seat 151. The valve body 147 abuts against the seal 153. The valve body 147 applies a force to the seal 153 away from the seat 146, thereby compressing the elastic member 154. The valve stem 152 extends axially into the valve body 147. The valve stem 152 abuts against the valve core 149, applying a force axially to the valve core 149, thereby compressing the connection elastic member 150. In this way, the connecting chamber and the mating chamber are in communication.

[0165] Figure 9The arrows in the figure show the flow of the refrigerant. After mating, the valve stem 152 of the female connector 145 rigidly extends into the valve body 147 of the male connector 144, while the valve core 149 of the male connector 144 is movable and is compressed by the valve stem 152 of the female connector 145 into the connecting chamber of the male connector 144. At the same time, the valve body 147 of the male connector 144 penetrates into the valve seat 151 of the female connector 145. The female connector 145 includes an axially movable seal 153, which is compressed into the mating chamber of the female connector 145. In this way, the flow channels of the male connector 144 and the female connector 145 are opened and connected, enabling the circulation of liquid, thereby achieving better sealing and lower flow resistance.

[0166] When male connector 144 and female connector 145 are separated, valve stem 152 is spaced apart from valve core 149, valve body 147 is spaced apart from seal 153, connecting elastic member 150 is reset, and so is mating elastic member 154. Valve core 149 seals male connector 144, while valve stem 152 and seal 153 seal female connector 145. The sealing rings of both male connector 144 and female connector 145 provide a seal to prevent leakage.

[0167] When the male head 144 and the female head 145 of the connecting assembly 143 of the present application are separated, the third elastic member 148 provided between the base 146 of the male head 144 and the valve body 147 allows the separated valve body 147 to reset itself to the initial center position, thereby avoiding the problem of the male and female heads 145 being unable to mate and achieve blind insertion due to the offset of the valve body 147 of the male head 144 and the installation error of the new female head 145 when they are mated again, thereby ensuring the feasibility of the blind insertion solution.

[0168] The cabinet 100 provided in this application is an extension of liquid cooling technology and applications, and is a layout of the application of liquid cooling technology in the data center field. It also optimizes the existing technology to a great extent, broadens the application scenarios, is conducive to promoting the development of liquid cooling technology, helps to improve the energy efficiency of data centers, reduce PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness, an indicator for evaluating the energy efficiency of data centers), enhance the compatibility and flexibility of cold plate liquid cooling, and promote cold plate liquid cooling technology on a large scale.

[0169] The cabinet 100 provided in the present application uses liquid cooling to reduce the temperature of the device 200, solving the problem of high power consumption of the device 200. The cabinet 100 provided in the present application is a multi-level guide rail self-floating blind plug liquid cooling cabinet, which provides a heat dissipation carrier for the device 200. In particular, it provides a heat dissipation carrier for the server. The cabinet 100 of the present application uses a multi-level guide device 120, and the device 200 is gradually and accurately positioned during the insertion process of the cabinet 100, and finally reaches the specified locking position to achieve a blind plug connection with the male head 144 of the cooling device 140.

It has strong compatibility and is easy to operate. The two guide plates 121 can achieve bidirectional positioning. After step-by-step positioning, the guide device 120 controls the axial and radial deviations of the connection assembly 143 of the fluid connection on the device 200 side, so that the displacement tolerance of the self-floating fluid blind plug connection is met between the male head 144 and the female head 145, so as to realize floating blind plugging, eliminate the need for manual plug-in and unplugging operations, eliminate the risk of errors, and provide a basis for automatic operation and maintenance of robots.

[0171] The cabinet 100 of the present application can also be provided with multi-level guide devices 120 of varying specifications to accommodate the installation requirements of devices 200 of varying heights and sizes, thereby enhancing product compatibility. The multi-level guide devices 120 of the cabinet 100 can accommodate the placement of devices 200 of varying specifications, automatically and flexibly adapting to the installation and positioning requirements of 19-inch standard devices 200 and 21-inch network devices 200, and can accommodate the placement of devices 200 of varying heights, including 1U, 2U, and 4U.

[0172] The guide plate 121 of the cabinet 100 of this application is prefabricated integrally with the cabinet body 110, meeting the requirements of blind liquid cooling plug-in without modifying the structure of the device 200 itself, thus reducing errors. The device 200 can be plugged and unplugged without additional adaptation, reducing the problem of the cabinet 100's numerous interfaces, achieving decoupled deployment of the device 200 and the cabinet 100, avoiding the bundling of the device 200 and the cabinet 100 for marketing, and enabling on-demand phased deployment on the business side and the infrastructure side, improving adaptability and reducing costs.

[0173] The cooling device 140 is located at one end of the cabinet 100 along the second direction D2, and is guided by the guide plate 121 to facilitate smooth insertion of the device 200 within a certain deviation range. The cabinet 100 of the present application positions the device 200 through the combined action of the guide device 120 and the connecting component 143, ensuring that the female head 145 can be smoothly connected with the male head 144 during blind insertion. The male head 144 and the female head 145 of the connecting component 143 of the present application can move freely relative to each other within a certain range, have a certain amount of floating, and realize a certain tolerance function, which helps to solve the errors caused by the production or installation of the cabinet 100 and the device 200, etc., without the need for additional components, with a simple structure, low cost, and easy maintenance and replacement. The offset between the valve body 147 and the base 146 of the connecting component 143 of the present application can be self-repaired and can be automatically reset to the center, avoiding the problem of failing to blindly insert after multiple plug-in deviations exceeding the allowable deviation range, and solving the problem of failure to cooperate due to error changes in the female head 145 when replacing other devices 200.

[0174] The locking device 160 of the present application locks and limits the device 200 after the device 200 and the cooling device 140 are blindly plugged together. In particular, the locking device 160 locks and limits the device 200 along the second direction D2 to prevent abnormal springing and connection failure. The locking and unlocking of the device 200 is achieved by simple axial pressing, which is convenient for replacement and maintenance. During the blind plugging process, only pressure needs to be applied forward and backward to achieve the automatic locking and springing functions, without the need for additional manual operation, and the fixation is reliable and easy to replace. The locking device 160 can be installed in multiple directions of the guide device 120 as needed, and the number can be adjusted according to the situation.
