Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of communication equipment, and in particular to a communication cabinet. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology, the communication volume has increased rapidly, and the workload of communication equipment has increased. A large number of communication equipment needs to run at high load for a long time to process massive amounts of data and information, generating a lot of heat in the process. In order to cope with the rising temperature in the cabinet, the refrigeration system in the cabinet needs to run for a long time, and the energy consumption of the refrigeration system has also increased significantly. In some high-power cabinets, the energy consumption of the refrigeration system can account for up to 40% of the total energy consumption.

[0003] In the prior art, a cabinet uses a refrigeration system and a ventilation system to cool the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet is high, a high-power refrigeration system is used to cool the cabinet. When the temperature inside the cabinet is low, a low-power ventilation system is used to cool the cabinet.

[0004] However, in the prior art, when heat is dissipated from communication equipment, energy needs to be continuously consumed, so the communication cabinet has the problem of high energy consumption. Summary of the invention

[0005] The present application provides a communication cabinet to at least solve the problem of high energy consumption of the communication cabinet.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] The present application provides a communication cabinet, which includes a cabinet body, a mounting member and a driving device. The cabinet body includes an opening connected to the cabinet body. The mounting member is used to install a first communication device. The driving device is transmission-connected to the mounting member, and is used to drive the mounting member to move between a first position and a second position through the opening. When the mounting member is in the first position, the first communication device is located in the cabinet body, and when the mounting member is in the second position, at least part of the first communication device is located outside the cabinet body. When at least part of the first communication device is located outside the cabinet body, the first communication device can exchange heat with the air outside the cabinet body.

[0008] When the communication cabinet is operating normally, the mounting member is located in the first position, and the first communication device is running in the cabinet. When the communication cabinet needs to dissipate heat, the driving device drives the mounting member to move from the first position to the second position through the opening, and the second communication device is driven outside the cabinet by the mounting member. The first communication device outside the cabinet dissipates heat into the surrounding air, and the air with heat flows to other locations, so that the first communication device can continuously dissipate heat to the surrounding air, thereby reducing the temperature of the first communication device. In this way, heat is dissipated by natural air heat dissipation, which does not require additional energy consumption and can reduce the energy consumption of the communication cabinet.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the mounting member includes a mounting base plate and a plurality of side beams. The mounting base plate is used to receive the first communication device. The plurality of side beams are located above the mounting base plate and connected to the mounting base plate, and heat dissipation ports are provided between the plurality of side beams. The first communication device exchanges heat with air outside the cabinet through the heat dissipation ports.

[0010] In a possible implementation, the mounting member further includes a covering member, which is located on a side of the plurality of side beams away from the mounting base plate and is connected to the plurality of side beam plates. The first communication device is located between the mounting member and the covering member. In a direction perpendicular to the arrangement of the covering member and the mounting base plate, the area of ​​the covering member is larger than the area of ​​the mounting base plate.

[0011] In a possible implementation, the opening is provided on the top wall of the cabinet. When the first communication device is located in the cabinet, the cover covers the opening.

[0012] In a possible implementation, the wall plate in the cabinet opposite to the opening is a first mounting plate, the first mounting plate includes a first area and a second area, and the orthographic projection of the mounting member on the first mounting plate is located in the first area. The second area is used to install a second communication device, and the heat dissipation of the second communication device is less than that of the first communication device.

[0013] In a possible implementation, the wall plate in the cabinet opposite to the opening is a first mounting plate, a third communication device is provided between the mounting member and the first mounting plate, and the heat dissipation of the third communication device is less than that of the first communication device.

[0014] In a possible implementation manner, a first sub-cavity and a second sub-cavity are included between the cover and the mounting base plate. The first sub-cavity is located at a side of the second sub-cavity facing away from the outlet.

[0015] In a possible implementation, a communication cabinet includes: a controller and a temperature detector. The controller is connected to a driving device, and the controller is used to control the driving device to drive the mounting member to move between a first position and a second position through an opening when a first preset condition is met. The temperature detector is connected to the controller, and the temperature detector is used to detect a first temperature value inside the cabinet and a second temperature value outside the cabinet. The first preset condition includes that the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value.

[0016] In a possible implementation, the temperature detector includes a first temperature detector and a second temperature detector. The first temperature detector is located in the cabinet and connected to the controller, and the first temperature detector outputs a first temperature value. The second temperature detector is located outside the cabinet and connected to the controller, and the second temperature detector outputs a second temperature value.

[0017] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet further includes an environmental parameter detector. The environmental parameter detector is located outside the cabinet and connected to the controller, and is used to detect environmental parameters outside the cabinet. The controller is used to control the drive device to drive the mounting member to move between the first position and the second position through the opening when the first preset condition and the second preset condition are met. The second preset condition includes that the environmental parameter outside the cabinet meets the preset parameter.

[0018] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet further includes a refrigeration device. The refrigeration device is located in the cabinet and connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the refrigeration device to operate when the first preset condition is met and the second preset condition is not met.

[0019] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet further includes a dust sensor and a dust removal device. The dust sensor is located in the cabinet and connected to the controller, and the dust sensor is used to detect the dust concentration in the cabinet. The dust removal device is located in the cabinet and connected to the controller. The controller is used to control the dust removal device to operate when a preset dust concentration is met.

[0029] The communication cabinet provided in the embodiment of the present application is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] The term "and / or" in this article is merely a description of the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone.

[0031] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the specification and drawings of this application are used to distinguish different objects, or to distinguish different processing of the same object, rather than to describe a specific order of objects.

[0032] In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof mentioned in the description of the present application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include other steps or units that are not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units that are inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0033] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0034] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0035] With the rapid development of science and technology, the communication field is showing a trend of rapid growth in communication volume. This growth has put communication equipment under high-intensity workload, and many communication equipment are in high-load operation for a long time to process massive amounts of data. Communication equipment generates a lot of heat during operation, causing the temperature inside the cabinet to continue to rise. In order to maintain a suitable temperature environment in the cabinet and ensure the normal operation of communication equipment, the refrigeration system in the cabinet has to run continuously for a long time, which leads to a significant increase in the energy consumption of the refrigeration system.

[0036] With the rapid development of science and technology, the communication field has shown a trend of rapid growth in communication volume. This growth has put communication equipment under high-intensity workloads. Many communication devices are in high-load operation for a long time to process massive amounts of data. Communication equipment generates a lot of heat during operation, causing the temperature inside the cabinet to continue to rise. In order to maintain a suitable temperature environment in the cabinet and ensure the normal operation of communication equipment, the refrigeration system in the cabinet has to run continuously for a long time, which leads to a significant increase in the energy consumption of the refrigeration system.

[0037] In addition, the temperature inside the cabinet is affected by the heat dissipation of internal equipment as well as the external temperature. When the external temperature of the cabinet is high, the heat dissipation energy consumption of the cabinet is high. When the external temperature of the cabinet is low, the heat dissipation energy consumption of the cabinet is low.

[0038] In the related technology, a refrigeration system and a ventilation system are used. When the temperature inside the cabinet is at a high level, a high-power refrigeration system is started to lower the temperature; and when the temperature inside the cabinet drops to a certain level (relatively low), it is switched to a low-power ventilation system to maintain the temperature.

[0039] However, in the related art, when dissipating heat for communication equipment, energy needs to be consumed continuously, so the communication cabinet has the problem of high energy consumption.

[0040] In order to solve the problem of high energy consumption of communication cabinets in the prior art, the present application provides a communication cabinet 100. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the communication cabinet 100 includes a cabinet body 1 , a mounting member 10 and a driving device 3 .

[0041] The cabinet 1 includes an opening 11 connected to the cabinet 1. The mounting member 10 is used to mount the first communication device 01. The driving device 3 is transmission-connected to the mounting member 10, and is used to drive the mounting member 10 to move between a first position and a second position through the opening 11. When the mounting member 10 is located at the first position, the first communication device 01 is located in the cabinet 1, and when the mounting member 10 is located at the second position, at least part of the first communication device 01 is located outside the cabinet 1. When at least part of the first communication device 01 is located outside the cabinet 1, the first communication device 01 can exchange heat with the air outside the cabinet 1.

[0042] Exemplarily, the driving device 3 includes, but is not limited to: an electric driving device, a pneumatic driving device, a hydraulic driving device, a mechanical spring driving device, and an electromagnetic driving device.

[0043] The driving device 3 is transmission-connected to the mounting member 10. Exemplarily, the transmission connection includes but is not limited to gear transmission connection, belt transmission connection, screw transmission connection, and may also be a combination of multiple transmission modes.

[0044] When the communication cabinet 100 operates normally, the installation member 10 is located at the first position, and the first communication device 01 operates in the cabinet 1 .

[0045] When the communication cabinet 100 needs to dissipate heat, the driving device 3 drives the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position through the opening 11. At this time, the second communication device 02 is driven by the mounting member 10 to the outside of the cabinet 1. The first communication device 01 located outside the cabinet 1 dissipates heat to the surrounding air. Because the density of hot air is smaller than that of cold air, the hot air will naturally flow upward. At this time, the colder air around will be supplemented by the pressure difference to form natural convection. As a result, the first communication device 01 can continuously dissipate heat to the surrounding air, thereby reducing the temperature of the first communication device 01. In this way, heat dissipation is carried out by natural air flow, and the energy consumption of the communication cabinet 100 can be reduced without consuming additional energy.

[0046] The embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and before describing the embodiments of the present application in detail, the application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application are first described.

[0047] The communication cabinet 100 provided in the present application is used in any scenario where there is a need for transmitting or computing data, such as a data center, a computer room, a network center, or outdoors.

[0048] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting member 10 comprises a mounting base plate 101 and a plurality of side beams 102. The mounting base plate 101 is used to receive the first communication device 01.

[0049] It should be noted that when the mounting member 10 is located at the first position, the mounting base plate 101 is located in the cabinet 1. The mounting base plate 101 receives the first communication device 01 and can provide a stable supporting plane for the first communication device 01, so as to facilitate the placement of the first communication device 01.

[0050] Communication equipment usually has a certain weight, and the installation base plate 101 can also disperse the weight of the first communication equipment 01, thereby reducing the situation where local forces are too large and the equipment is damaged.

[0051] A plurality of side beams 102 are located above the mounting base plate 101 and connected to the mounting base plate 101 , and heat dissipation openings 103 are provided between the plurality of side beams 102 . The first communication device 01 exchanges heat with the air outside the cabinet 1 through the heat dissipation openings 103 .

[0052] The side beam 102 is located above the installation base plate 101 and can provide side protection for the first communication device 01 .

[0053] A specific space is formed between the multiple side beams 102 , and the space can be used to accurately position the first communication device 01 . The communication device can be placed within the range defined by the side beams 102 , ensuring that the device is in the correct position on the mounting member 10 .

[0054] Exemplarily, the connection methods of the plurality of side beams 102 and the mounting base plate 101 include, but are not limited to, at least one of plug-in, snap-on, welding, one-piece molding, bolt connection, lock connection, magnetic connection or gluing.

[0055] A heat dissipation port 103 is provided between the plurality of side beams 102. The heat dissipation port 103 provides a heat exchange channel between the first communication device 01 and the air outside the cabinet 1. When the communication device generates heat during operation, the heat will increase the temperature of the air around the device. The hot air can be discharged to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the heat dissipation port 103, while the cold air outside the cabinet 1 can contact the first communication device 01 through the heat dissipation port 103, thereby forming natural convection around the device.

[0056] Exemplarily, the position and shape of the heat dissipation opening 103 may be set according to a specific flow direction required by the air.

[0057] In one possible implementation, see Figure 2 The mounting member 10 further includes a covering member 104 , which is located on a side of the plurality of side beams 102 away from the mounting base plate 101 and is connected to the plurality of side beams 102 .

[0058] The cover 104 is located on the side of the multiple side beams 102 away from the mounting base plate 101, that is, on the side of the first communication device 01 away from the mounting base plate 101. This can provide protection for the first communication device 01 from the side of the cover 104 away from the mounting base plate 101, thereby reducing physical damage to the first communication device 01 in this direction.

[0059] Exemplarily, when the cover 104 is located above the first communication device 01 , the cover 104 can shield the first communication device 01 from rain.

[0060] The cover 104 is connected to the plurality of side beams 102. Exemplarily, the connection between the cover 104 and the plurality of side beams 102 includes, but is not limited to, at least one of plug-in, snap-on, welding, integral molding, bolt connection, lock connection, magnetic connection or gluing.

[0061] The first communication device 01 is located between the mounting base plate 101 and the cover 104. In the direction perpendicular to the arrangement of the cover 104 and the mounting base plate 101, the area of ​​the cover 104 is larger than the area of ​​the mounting base plate 101.

[0062] The area of ​​the cover 104 is larger than the area of ​​the mounting base 101 , and can provide more extensive protection for the first communication device 01 .

[0063] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1 The opening 11 is provided on the top wall 12 of the cabinet 1 . When the first communication device 01 is located in the cabinet 1 , the cover 104 covers the opening 11 .

[0064] It should be noted that the top wall 12 of the cabinet 1 refers to the top wall 12 when the cabinet 1 is placed on the ground.

[0065] In one possible application scenario, the cabinet 1 is buried underground, and the top wall 12 of the cabinet 1 is at the same level as the ground. In other possible application scenarios, the cabinet 1 is placed on the ground.

[0066] In the vertical direction, the cover 104 can block various potential threats from above, such as falling objects, splashing liquids, etc., thereby reducing factors that may damage the first communication device 01 and increasing the service life of the first communication device 01.

[0067] When the first communication device 01 is located in the cabinet 1, the cover 104 covers the opening 11, which can effectively prevent foreign objects from entering the cabinet. Furthermore, the signal transmission stability can be maintained, the equipment failure rate can be reduced, and the frequency of cleaning and maintenance can be reduced.

[0068] In a possible implementation manner, the opening 11 may also be provided on a side wall of the cabinet 1 .

[0069] In one possible implementation, see Figure 1 The cover 104 and the mounting base plate 101 include a first sub-cavity 105 and a second sub-cavity 106 . The first sub-cavity 105 is located on a side of the second sub-cavity 106 that is away from the opening 11 .

[0070] The first sub-cavity 105 is located on the side of the second sub-cavity 106 away from the opening 11. A communication device with a lower heat dissipation is arranged in the first sub-cavity 105, and a communication device with a higher heat dissipation is arranged in the second sub-cavity 106. The second sub-cavity 106 is closer to the opening 11, so that the communication device in the second sub-cavity 106 can dissipate heat through the opening 11.

[0071] When the first communication device 01 is located outside the cabinet 1, the heat dissipation of the first communication device 01 in the first sub-cavity 105 is less than that of the first communication device 01 in the second sub-cavity 106. As a result, the temperature of the second sub-cavity 106 is higher than that of the first sub-cavity 105. Since the density of hot air is less than that of cold air, the hot air in the second sub-cavity 106 rises, and the cold air in the first sub-cavity 105 is replenished, forming a temperature gradient and promoting natural convection. In this way, the heat dissipation speed can be increased.

[0072] Such a configuration is also convenient for equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. When the first communication device 01 needs to be maintained or troubleshooted, the structure of the first sub-cavity 105 and the second sub-cavity 106 facilitates the staff to distinguish the conditions of different parts of the communication device. The communication device near the second sub-cavity 106 can be checked first, for example, to check the heat dissipation and whether the device components near the opening 11 are damaged; and then the part near the first sub-cavity 105 can be checked, so that the maintenance work can be carried out in a more orderly manner and the work efficiency can be improved.

[0073] In a possible implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the wall plate opposite to the opening 11 in the cabinet 1 is a first mounting plate 13, and the first mounting plate 13 includes a first area 131 and a second area 132. The orthographic projection of the mounting member 10 on the first mounting plate 13 is located in the first area 131. The second area 132 is used to install the second communication device 02, and the heat dissipation of the second communication device 02 is less than that of the first communication device 01.

[0074] The first communication device 01 with a larger heat dissipation is installed on the mounting member 10, and the second communication device 02 with a smaller heat dissipation is installed in the second area 132. Installing devices with different heat dissipation separately can reduce mutual interference caused by heat transfer between devices, and facilitates the zoning management of heat inside the cabinet 1.

[0075] The first mounting plate 13 mounted on the mounting member 10 or the second area 132 according to the different heat dissipation of the communication equipment can improve the utilization rate of the internal space of the cabinet 1. The problem of poor heat dissipation caused by the cross arrangement of communication equipment with different heat dissipation can be reduced. Thus, the internal layout of the cabinet 1 is reasonable and orderly. Furthermore, the maintenance and management of the communication equipment is facilitated.

[0076] Since the area division and corresponding cooling arrangements are carried out according to the heat dissipation of communication equipment, it is avoided to adopt a unified but potentially excessive cooling measure to meet the cooling needs of all equipment. In turn, the energy consumption of the entire cabinet cooling system can be reduced.

[0077] Exemplarily, the second communication device 02 includes, but is not limited to: a wiring harness, a jumper, a line connector, a coupler, an optical splitter, a switch, a demodulator, and a network terminal.

[0078] It should be noted that the larger and smaller mentioned in this article are relative expressions.

[0079] In a possible implementation, Figure 4As shown, the wall plate opposite to the opening 11 in the cabinet 1 is a first mounting plate 13 , and a third communication device 03 is provided between the mounting member 10 and the first mounting plate 13 . The heat dissipation of the third communication device 03 is less than that of the first communication device 01 .

[0080] The first communication device 01 with a larger heat dissipation is mounted on the mounting member 10, and the third communication device 03 with a smaller heat dissipation is mounted between the mounting member 10 and the first mounting plate 13. Separately mounting devices with different heat dissipation can reduce mutual interference between devices due to heat transfer, and facilitates zoning management of heat inside the cabinet 1.

[0081] At the same time, the third communication device 03 is located between the mounting member 10 and the first mounting plate 13, that is, the third communication device 03 is located on the side of the mounting member 10 away from the opening 11. When the driving member drives the mounting member 10 to move between the first position and the second position through the opening 11, it will not be interfered by the third communication device 03. Thus, the mounting member 10 moves more smoothly.

[0082] Since the area division and corresponding cooling arrangements are carried out according to the heat dissipation of communication equipment, it is avoided to adopt a unified but potentially excessive cooling measure to meet the cooling needs of all equipment. In turn, the energy consumption of the entire cabinet cooling system can be reduced.

[0083] Exemplarily, the third communication equipment 03 includes, but is not limited to: a wiring harness, a jumper, a line connector, a coupler, an optical splitter, a switch, a demodulator, and a network terminal.

[0084] In a possible implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the communication cabinet 100 includes: a controller 4 and a temperature detector 5. The controller 4 is connected to the driving device 3, and the controller 4 is used to control the driving device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move between the first position and the second position through the opening 11 under the first preset condition. The temperature detector 5 is connected to the controller 4, and the temperature detector 5 is used to detect a first temperature value inside the cabinet 1 and a second temperature value outside the cabinet 1. The first preset condition includes that the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value.

[0085] When the first preset condition is met, the controller 4 controls the driving device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position. At this time, the cabinet 1 is connected to the environment outside the cabinet 1, and the first communication device 01 in the cabinet 1 exchanges heat with the environment outside the cabinet 1 through air. In the process of heat dissipation by natural ventilation, no energy is consumed, and the temperature of the first communication device 01 can be reduced, thereby saving energy and reducing the energy consumption of the communication cabinet 100.

[0086] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5The communication cabinet 100 includes a cabinet door 2, through which the communication equipment in the cabinet 1 can be inspected and repaired, which is convenient for operation.

[0087] The cabinet door 2 is provided with ventilation holes 21. The ventilation holes 21 can promote air exchange inside and outside the cabinet, so that the heat generated by the equipment in the cabinet can be dissipated to the external environment. In this way, the stability of the equipment is maintained and the service life of the equipment is extended. The ventilation holes 21 are convenient for observing the status of the equipment without opening the cabinet door 2, which is convenient for inspection and maintenance.

[0088] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5 The temperature detector 5 includes a first temperature detector 51 and a second temperature detector 52. The first temperature detector 51 is located inside the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4. The first temperature detector 51 outputs a first temperature value. The second temperature detector 52 is located outside the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4. The second temperature detector 52 outputs a second temperature value.

[0089] The first temperature detector 51 is located in the cabinet 1 to collect temperature value change data in the cabinet 1 .

[0090] The connection mode between the first temperature detector 51 and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, and a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection. The wireless connection includes, but is not limited to, Bluetooth connection, Wi-Fi connection, and ZigBee connection. ZigBee technology is a wireless communication technology used in short distances and low rates. ZigBee is also known as "HomeRF Lite" and "FireFly" technology.

[0091] The second temperature detector 52 is located outside the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4 . The second temperature detector 52 outputs a second temperature value.

[0092] The second temperature detector 52 is located outside the cabinet 1, so as to collect the temperature value outside the cabinet 1. The second temperature detector 52 can be connected to the cabinet 1, or can be located at other locations not connected to the cabinet 1.

[0093] The connection method between the second temperature detector 52 and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection. The wireless connection includes, but is not limited to, Bluetooth connection, Wi-Fi connection, and ZigBee connection.

[0094] The first temperature detector 51 and the second temperature detector 52 include, but are not limited to: a thermistor temperature detector, a thermocouple temperature detector, an integrated temperature sensor, and an infrared temperature sensor.

[0095] In a possible implementation, the controller 4 is used to control the drive device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position when the first preset condition and the third preset condition are met. The third preset condition includes: the first temperature value is greater than the heat dissipation temperature value.

[0096] When the first temperature value is higher than the heat dissipation temperature value, and the first temperature value is greater than the second temperature value, the controller 4 controls the driving device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position, and the mounting member 10 can use the relatively low temperature air outside the cabinet 1 for heat dissipation when it is located at the second position. Using natural low temperature air for heat dissipation can reduce energy consumption, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the communication cabinet 100, achieving energy conservation and emission reduction, and reducing the operating cost of the communication cabinet 100.

[0097] The heat dissipation temperature value can be understood as a critical temperature, which is greater than or equal to the appropriate temperature value required for the normal operation of the communication device. That is, the first temperature value is higher than the heat dissipation temperature, indicating that the communication device cannot be maintained within the appropriate operating temperature range at this time.

[0098] The heat dissipation temperature value can be any value less than 30°C.

[0099] Exemplarily, the heat dissipation temperature value may be any one of 30°C, 29°C, 28°C, 27°C, 26°C, 25°C, 25°C, 20°C or 15°C.

[0100] In one possible implementation, see Figure 5 The communication cabinet 100 further includes an environmental parameter detector 6. The environmental parameter detector 6 is located outside the cabinet 1 and is connected to the controller 4. The environmental parameter detector 6 is used to detect environmental parameters outside the cabinet 1. The controller 4 is used to control the driving device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move between the first position and the second position through the opening 11 when the first preset condition and the second preset condition are met. The second preset condition includes that the environmental parameter outside the cabinet 1 meets the preset parameter.

[0101] The environmental parameter detector 6 detects the environment outside the cabinet 1. When the mounting member 10 needs to be moved from the first position to the second position, the environment outside the cabinet 1 is detected by the environmental parameter detector 6. When the environmental parameter value outside the cabinet 1 reaches a preset parameter value, the controller 4 controls the driving device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position.

[0102] In this way, the communication equipment can be prevented from being exposed to adverse environments, thereby extending the service life of the communication equipment and reducing the cost of repairing and replacing the equipment.

[0103] The preset parameters include but are not limited to: humidity, wind speed, dust volume, electromagnetic interference intensity, electromagnetic compatibility, air pressure, vibration intensity, static electricity, and air quality.

[0104] The environmental parameter detector 6 can be connected to the outside of the cabinet 1. The environmental parameter detector 6 can be arranged outside the cabinet 1 and not connected to the cabinet 1.

[0105] In summary, the controller 4 controls the installation member 10 to move from the first position to the second position when the first temperature value in the cabinet 1 is greater than the second temperature value and the environmental parameters outside the cabinet 1 meet the preset parameters.

[0106] In a possible implementation, the environmental parameter detector 6 includes a wind speed sensor. The wind speed sensor is used to detect the environmental wind speed outside the cabinet 1. The environmental parameter outside the cabinet 1 meets the preset parameter including: the environmental wind speed outside the cabinet 1 is lower than the preset wind speed.

[0107] A large number of sophisticated communication devices are usually placed inside the communication cabinet 100, and these devices have high requirements for the environment. When the wind speed is too high, it will affect the electrical connection, such as loosening the electrical connection, thereby damaging the equipment. The wind speed sensor detects the ambient wind speed, and only when the wind speed is lower than the preset wind speed, the mounting member 10 is placed in the second position, which can reduce the damage to the communication equipment in the cabinet caused by strong wind.

[0108] The wind speed sensor can detect the wind speed outside the cabinet 1 in real time, and can provide accurate wind speed data to the controller 4, so that the controller 4 can execute other steps.

[0109] Reasonable wind speed can improve the efficiency of heat transfer generated by the communication equipment in the cabinet 1 and reduce local overheating.

[0110] Exemplarily, the wind speed sensor includes but is not limited to a three-cup wind speed sensor, an ultrasonic wind speed sensor, and a hot wire wind speed sensor.

[0111] The preset wind speed may be any one below 5 m / s.

[0112] Exemplarily, the preset wind speed may be any one of 1 m / s, 1.5 m / s, 2 m / s, 2.5 m / s, 3 m / s, 3.5 m / s, 4 m / s, 4.5 m / s or 5 m / s.

[0113] The connection mode between the wind speed sensor and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection.

[0114] In a possible implementation, the environmental parameter detector 6 further includes a particle sensor. The particle sensor is used to detect the particle content outside the cabinet 1. The environmental parameter outside the cabinet 1 meets the preset parameter including: the particle content outside the cabinet 1 is lower than the preset particle content.

[0115] When the communication equipment inside the communication cabinet 100 is located in the environment outside the cabinet 1, the air may contain a large amount of dust particles. Such dust may accumulate on components such as circuit boards, heat sinks, and fans of the communication equipment. On circuit boards, dust accumulation may cause short circuits or interfere with signal transmission between electronic components; on heat sinks, dust accumulation may reduce heat dissipation efficiency and cause the temperature of the equipment to rise; on fans, dust accumulation may affect the rotation balance of the fans, thereby affecting heat dissipation and air circulation.

[0116] The particle sensor detects the particle content. Only when the particle content in the air is lower than the preset particle content, the drive mounting member 10 is located in the second position, which can reduce the damage to the equipment caused by the entry of particles. This can reduce the damage to the communication equipment, reduce electrical failures, shorten the maintenance cycle, and increase the service life. It can also ensure the quality of communication services.

[0117] Exemplarily, the particle sensor includes, but is not limited to: an optical particle sensor, a gravimetric particle sensor, and a piezoelectric particle sensor.

[0118] Particulate matter includes but is not limited to PM10 (particles with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of 10 microns or less), PM2.5 (particles with an aerodynamic equivalent diameter of 2.5 microns or less), hydrogen chloride (HCl), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides, mercury, lead and dioxins.

[0119] The preset particulate matter content may be any one of less than 100 μg / cubic meter.

[0120] Exemplarily, the preset particulate matter content may be any one of 5 μg / m3, 10 μg / m3, 20 μg / m3, 30 μg / m3, 40 μg / m3, 50 μg / m3, 60 μg / m3, 80 μg / m3 or 100 μg / m3.

[0121] The connection method between the particle sensor and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection.

[0122] In a possible implementation, the environmental parameter detector 6 further includes a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor is used to detect the air humidity outside the cabinet 1. The environmental parameter outside the cabinet 1 meets the preset parameter including: the air humidity outside the cabinet 1 is lower than the preset air humidity.

[0123] In a high humidity environment, moisture may condense on the surface of communication equipment. Specifically, when the air humidity reaches saturation, water vapor may form water droplets on the circuit boards, chips and other components of the communication equipment. This situation will cause a short circuit, which in turn will damage the communication equipment. At the same time, high humidity will also accelerate the corrosion of metal parts, affecting the service life of the equipment.

[0124] In this way, the communication equipment inside the communication cabinet 100 needs to control humidity when working. The humidity sensor detects the air humidity outside the cabinet 1. Only when the humidity is lower than the preset value, the installation member 10 is allowed to move to the second position, which can reduce the damage caused to the communication equipment by the high humidity environment. It can also reduce the damage of the communication equipment, reduce electrical failures, shorten the maintenance cycle, and increase the service life, thereby ensuring the quality of communication services.

[0125] Exemplarily, the humidity sensor includes, but is not limited to: a capacitive humidity sensor, a resistive humidity sensor, an inductive humidity sensor, and an infrared humidity sensor.

[0126] The preset air humidity may be any one lower than 60%. It should be noted that the air humidity here refers to relative humidity, which indicates the ratio of the water vapor content in the air to the maximum water vapor content that the air can maintain at the same temperature.

[0127] Exemplarily, the preset air humidity may be any one of 60%, 55%, 50%, 45%, 40%, 35%, 30%, 25%, 20%, 15% or 10%.

[0128] When different communication devices in the communication cabinet 100 have different requirements on humidity, the preset air humidity can be set correspondingly according to different communication devices.

[0129] The connection mode between the humidity sensor and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection.

[0130] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet 100 further includes a refrigeration device 7. The refrigeration device 7 is located in the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4. The controller 4 is used to control the refrigeration device 7 to operate when the first preset condition is met and the second preset condition is not met.

[0131] When the first preset condition is met, the second preset condition is given priority. When the second preset condition is met, the mounting member 10 is controlled to move to the second position, so as to utilize the natural environment to dissipate heat, save energy, and reduce the energy consumption of the communication cabinet 100.

[0132] When the first preset condition is met, the external environment of the cabinet 1 is not ideal and does not meet the second preset condition. The temperature parameters in the cabinet are adjusted by the refrigeration device 7 so that the communication equipment can work in a suitable environment, reduce the probability of equipment failure, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0133] The refrigeration device 7 includes, but is not limited to: an air conditioning system, a semiconductor refrigeration device, an evaporative cooling refrigeration device, an air cooling system, and a liquid cooling system.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet 100 further includes an alarm device 8. The alarm device 8 is connected to the controller 4. The controller 4 is used to control the drive device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position and control the alarm device 8 to alarm when a fourth preset condition is met. The fourth preset condition includes: the first temperature value is greater than the safety temperature value, wherein the safety temperature value is greater than the heat dissipation temperature value.

[0135] The fourth preset condition is that the first temperature value is greater than the safety temperature value. The safety temperature is the temperature threshold at which the device is heated and damaged. When the first temperature value is greater than the safety temperature value, the controller 4 controls the drive device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move from the first position to the second position, and controls the alarm device 8 to sound an alarm.

[0136] By setting the fourth preset condition, an alarm can be issued and measures can be taken before the temperature approaches the critical temperature of equipment damage. Specifically, the controller 4 controls the drive device 3 to drive the mounting member 10 to move to the second position, thereby reducing the risk of equipment damage due to overheating and extending the service life of the equipment.

[0137] Setting the fourth preset condition can also reduce the risk of fire and improve the safety of the cabinet and the surrounding environment.

[0138] By setting the alarm device 8, when the first temperature reaches the safe temperature, the equipment is in a dangerous state and sends out an alarm signal to the surroundings, thereby reducing the chances of surrounding organisms approaching, thereby reducing the risk of subsequent safety accidents.

[0139] Exemplarily, the alarm device 8 may be a sound source alarm device and / or a light source alarm device.

[0140] The safety temperature may be any temperature value between 50° C. and 70° C. The safety temperature may be adjusted accordingly according to the heat resistance of the communication equipment.

[0141] Illustratively, the safe temperature may be any one of 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C or 70°C.

[0142] The connection mode between the alarm device 8 and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection.

[0143] In a possible implementation, the communication cabinet 100 further includes a dust sensor and a dust removal device. The dust sensor is located in the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4, and the dust sensor is used to detect the dust concentration in the cabinet 1. The dust removal device is located in the cabinet 1 and connected to the controller 4. The controller 4 is used to control the dust removal device to operate when the preset dust concentration is met.

[0144] The dust sensor detects the dust concentration in the cabinet 1 . When the dust concentration in the cabinet 1 reaches a preset dust concentration, the controller 4 controls the dust removal device to operate to remove dust from the cabinet 1 .

[0145] The preset dust concentration can be 0.5mg / m 3 For example, the preset dust concentration can be 0.5 mg / m 3 , 0.4mg / m 3 , 0.3mg / m 3 , 0.2mg / m 3 , 0.1mg / m 3 , 0.05mg / m 3 Any one of .

[0146] By way of example, the dust removal device includes, but is not limited to: an electrostatic dust removal device, a fan dust removal device, and an air purification device.

[0147] For example, the connection mode between the dust sensor and the controller 4 includes, but is not limited to, wired connection, wireless connection, or a combination of wired connection and wireless connection. The wired connection includes, but is not limited to, analog signal connection and digital signal connection.
