[0001] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of cable arrangement, and in particular, to a cable component, a cable unit and a cabinet group assembly. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic equipment and communication technology, the density of cable laying is increasing. In various cabinets, the orderly arrangement and subsequent operation and maintenance of cables are becoming increasingly important. In related technologies, the cables are densely arranged, disorderly, and have long paths, which causes great difficulties in both installation and operation and maintenance, and is costly. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein, which are instead provided for a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are only for exemplary purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0023] The term "including" and its variations used herein are open inclusions, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" means "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment"; the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment"; the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments". The relevant definitions of other terms will be given in the following description.

[0024] It should be noted that the concepts such as "first" and "second" mentioned in the present disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0025] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "plurality" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, it should be understood as "one or more".

[0026] With the rapid development of electronic equipment and communication technology, the laying density of cables is increasing day by day. In various cabinets, the orderly arrangement and later operation and maintenance of cables have become very important. The existing wiring interconnection method of two cabinet bodies for high-density cables is usually to make wiring interconnections on the side of the cabinet body. For example, when the first cabinet body 310 is interconnected with the second cabinet body 320, the cable connected to the first cabinet body 310 is led out to the side away from the second cabinet body 320 and then routed upward along the side wall of the first cabinet body 310. Then, after routing on the top wall of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320, it is routed downward from the side of the second cabinet body 320 away from the first cabinet body 310 and then connected to the second cabinet body 320. The total wiring length of this wiring method is very long, up to several meters, which greatly increases the cost. If the wiring is done in front of the cabinet body in order to save wiring, the interconnection relationship will be complicated and the wiring will be cumbersome. The existing layout scheme is messy, which has caused great difficulties in both installation and operation and maintenance.

[0027] In order to effectively solve this problem, the present disclosure provides a solution with more regular arrangement. Specifically, the present disclosure provides a cable assembly 210, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cable assembly 210 includes two groups of connection terminals 212 and at least two cables 211 connected between the two groups of connection terminals 212. One of the two groups of connection terminals 212 is used to connect to the first cabinet body 310, and the other is used to connect to the second cabinet body 320, so as to realize the interconnection between the two cabinet bodies. In addition, the cable 211 connected between the two groups of connection terminals 212 is configured to cross the front side of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320. The terms "horizontal, front, and rear" involved in the present disclosure are defined according to the usage habits of the cabinet assembly. The cable 211 crosses the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320 on the front side to reflect that the cable 211 in the solution of the embodiment of the present disclosure is directly routed in front of the cabinet, instead of going from the side to the top and then back to the side as in the prior art. Compared with the "door"-shaped routing in the prior art, the cable 211 in the present application is roughly "I"-shaped routing. The connection terminal 212 can be configured to be directly plugged in and out of the node 301 of the cabinet body to facilitate installation.

[0028] Through the above technical solution, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, multiple cables 211 are prefabricated into a cable assembly 210. During the wiring process, multiple cables 211 can be connected as a cable assembly 210 to avoid the cables 211 existing independently and resulting in a large number of cables that are inconvenient to stack. After multiple cables 211 are prefabricated into a cable assembly 210, the wiring efficiency can be improved, and by adopting this cable assembly 210, when a certain cable assembly 210 is operated and maintained, it can be quickly identified without disassembling other cable assemblies 210, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance. The cables 211 are arranged to cross across the front side, which can effectively shorten the wiring length, reduce costs, and make operation more convenient.

[0029] In the disclosed embodiment, the cables 211 connected between the two sets of connection ends 212 are of the same length, so as to facilitate the manufacture of the cable assembly 210. There is no need to design cables 211 of various lengths, which is easy to manage and saves development costs, and can also avoid misinstallation when manufacturing the cable assembly 210.

[0030] A cabinet assembly is usually provided with many cables 211 in the height direction to avoid excessive stacking resulting in high density, thereby increasing the difficulty of wiring. In the disclosed embodiment, the multiple cables 211 can be configured such that the maximum stacking height is not greater than the diameter of two cables 211, that is, at most two layers of cables are stacked in each cable assembly 210. Of course, it can also be understood that in other embodiments, when the number of cables 211 is small, multiple layers can also be stacked.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, each cable 211 may include end segments 2111 at both ends, the end segments 2111 are connected to the connection terminals 212, and the end segments 2111 of the plurality of cables 211 are configured to be arranged flatly along a first direction, where the first direction is the arrangement direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320. The flat arrangement of the end segments 2111 can make the arrangement of the cables 211 at the ends more clearly visible, facilitate manufacturing and installation, and facilitate tracking.

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, each cable 211 may include an extension section 2112, combined with Figure 4 The extension section 2112 is used to cross the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320 at the front side, and the extension section 2112 is configured to be laid out in a second direction, and the second direction is the front-to-back direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320. The extension section 2112 is arranged to cross in front of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320, and this position is also a good viewing angle. Therefore, laying the extension section 2112 in a flat manner can avoid poor vision caused by stacking at a height, and reduce the difficulty of installation and subsequent operation and maintenance.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, each cable 211 includes, in addition to the end section 2111 and the extension section 2112, a curved section 2113. The end section 2111 and the curved section 2113 are respectively two sections, the two end sections 2111 are connected to two groups of connection terminals 212, and the curved section 2113 is connected between the end section 2111 and the extension section 2112. The arrangement of the curved section 2113 can provide redundancy for the cables 211, thereby ensuring that the cables 211 have the same length, and can also create conditions for the flat arrangement of the cables 211, so as to facilitate adjustment of the relative positions of the multiple cables 211.

[0034] The stacking height of the connection between the extension section 2112 and the curved section 2113 at one end is equal to the diameter of the two cables 211. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the connection between the curved section 2113 and the extension section 2112 on the left side is the diameter of two cables 211, that is, two layers of cables 211 are stacked, and the connection between the curved section 2113 and the extension section 2112 on the right side is only one layer of cables 211. With this stacking method, the lengths of the cables 211 can be made the same, and it is convenient to lay them flat at other locations.

[0035] The bending section 2113 at each end of the multiple cables 211 is constructed so that the bending length gradually decreases from the outside to the inside, where the outside and the inside are defined according to the first direction, that is, the two ends along the first direction are the outside. The bending length here refers to the redundancy designed to adjust the multiple cables 211 to equal length. That is, the closer the cables 211 are to the outside of the cabinet group assembly, the more redundant length they have, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the cables 211 on the inside, making the cable assembly 210 more regular.

[0036] In the disclosed embodiment, the connection order of the two ends of the multiple cables 211 and the connection end 212 is the same, so that the connection method between the two cabinet bodies is "left to left, right to right". In short, when each cable assembly 210 includes four cables 211, the four cables 211 are numbered as cable one, cable two, cable three, and cable four, respectively. At the connection end 212 on the left, the four cables 211 are connected from left to right in the order of cable one, cable two, cable three, and cable four. Similarly, at the connection end 212 on the right, the four cables 211 are also connected in this order, so that the connection order on both sides is the same, and the difficulty of cable interconnection between the two cabinet bodies is reduced.

[0037] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable assembly 210 may include four cables 211 . In other embodiments, the cable assembly 210 may be configured to have other numbers of cables 211 according to the number of actual nodes 301 .

[0038] In the disclosed embodiment, the cable 211 may be a copper cable. Copper cables are cheaper than optical fibers, but the diameter of copper cables is larger than that of optical fibers. When there are more nodes 301 on the node cabinet body, the wiring density of copper cables is greater, and the line of sight is blocked during connection or operation and maintenance. In the disclosed embodiment, multiple cables 211 are made into a cable assembly 210, and can be routed directly on the front side of the cabinet body, which reduces the difficulty of interconnection and saves costs to a great extent.

[0039] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a cable unit 200 is provided, referring to Figure 4 The cable unit 200 includes a cable management rack 220 and the cable assembly 210 described above. The cable management rack 220 is supported below the cable assembly 210 and is used to connect to the first cabinet body 310 and / or the second cabinet body 320. Two cable management racks 220 can be provided, one connected to the first cabinet body 310 and the other connected to the second cabinet body 320, so as to support the cables 211 connected to the two cabinet bodies respectively; or, one cable management rack 220 can also be provided, one end of which is connected to the first cabinet body 310 and the other end is connected to the second cabinet body 320, so as to support the cables 211 connected between the two cabinet bodies at the same time. The cable unit 200 has all the beneficial effects of the cable assembly 210 described above, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] In the disclosed embodiment, the cable assembly 210 is arranged to span across the front side of the cabinet body. In order to clearly distinguish the upper and lower cable assemblies 210, a cable management rack 220 is arranged therebelow to clearly find the expected position during installation or operation and maintenance, thereby reducing the difficulty of wiring and operation and maintenance.

[0041] According to a third aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, there is provided a cabinet assembly, referring to Figures 3 to 12 The cabinet assembly includes a first cabinet body 310, a second cabinet body 320 and the above-mentioned cable unit 200, and nodes 301 are arranged on the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320, and the connecting terminal 212 is connected to the node 301. The cabinet assembly has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned cable unit 200, which will not be repeated here. The first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320 can be arranged along the first direction, the front and rear direction thereof is the second direction, and the height direction thereof is the third direction. The cabinet assembly can be used in, but not limited to, networking scenarios of servers or network devices.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable management frame 220 of the cable unit 200 is configured to be movable so as to have a working state and an operation and maintenance state. Figure 8 , showing that the cable management rack 220 is in working state, Figures 9 to 12It shows that the cable management rack 220 is in the operation and maintenance state. The cable management rack 220 blocks the operation and maintenance space in the working state and releases the operation and maintenance space in the operation and maintenance state. The operation and maintenance space here refers to the space required for operation and maintenance of the cables 211 or the nodes 301 on the cabinet body. When in the working state, the space is blocked by the cable management rack 220. When operation and maintenance is required, the cable management rack 220 can avoid the space to facilitate operation and maintenance.

[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the cable management rack 220 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a bearing body 221 and a mounting seat 222. The bearing body 221 is used to bear the cable 211, that is, the cable 211 can be supported by the cable management rack 220, such as the cable 211 can be supported above the cable management rack 220. The mounting seat 222 is used to be installed to the cabinet body, wherein at least the bearing body 221 is configured to be movable, such as only the bearing body 221 can be movable, or both the bearing body 221 and the mounting seat 222 can be movable, so as to have the above-mentioned working state and operation and maintenance state.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bearing body 221 and the mounting seat 222 are rotatably connected about a first direction, and the first direction is the arrangement direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320, that is, the bearing body 221 can rotate up and down relative to the mounting seat 222, that is, rotate up and down relative to the cabinet body.

[0045] Through the above technical solution, the cable management rack 220 for supporting the cables 211 can be rotated up and down after being installed on the cabinet body through the relative rotation connection between the mounting seat 222 and the bearing body 221, thereby driving the cables 211 supported thereon to move. When it is necessary to operate and maintain a certain place, the cable management rack 220 around the operation and maintenance area can be rotated to free up a larger operation and maintenance space for the operation and maintenance area, thereby facilitating the operation of the operation and maintenance personnel's hands or tools, and reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a suspension mechanism 223 may be connected between the bearing body 221 and the mounting seat 222, and the suspension mechanism 223 may make the bearing body 221 suspend when it rotates to a preset position, so as to ensure the reliability of the rotation of the bearing body 221, and prevent it from falling at will and affecting the operation and maintenance. Among them, there may be multiple ways to implement the suspension mechanism 223, such as friction damping, that is, a friction plate is provided between the mounting seat 222 and the bearing body 221, and when the bearing body 221 rotates to a preset position, the friction force can balance the external force, so that the bearing body 221 remains in the current position, or a mechanical locking method is adopted, that is, a card slot or a lock hole is provided on the bearing body 221 and the mounting seat 222, and when it rotates to a preset position, a locking pin can be inserted into the card slot or the lock hole to achieve locking, so as to fix the bearing body 221 there. The suspension mechanism 223 may also be implemented by hydraulic damping, ratchet pawl, etc., and the present disclosure does not limit the specific implementation method of the suspension mechanism 223.

[0047] The suspension mechanism 223 can be configured to suspend the carrier body 221 at any rotation position of the carrier body 221, or can be configured to suspend the carrier body 221 at least at the first rotation position and the second rotation position, wherein the first rotation position is configured as the working state, that is, the cable management rack 220 is configured as follows: Figure 8 The cable 211 is normally supported in the middle position, and the second rotation position is configured as the operation and maintenance state, that is, the cable management rack 220 is as follows Figures 9 to 12 The state of being rotated by a certain angle in the middle, thereby making the bearing body 221 have at least two positions. In other embodiments, the bearing body 221 can have three positions, a working state position, and two positions of different operation and maintenance states, or as described above, the bearing body 221 can have any hovering position, and can be hovered to different areas according to actual needs.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the maximum rotation angle of the bearing body 221 in the second rotation position compared to the bearing body 221 in the first rotation position can be 20°~30°. In other words, when the cable management rack 220 changes from the working state to the operation and maintenance state, the maximum angle at which the cable management rack 220 can rotate upward or downward is 20°~30°, such as 20°, 25° or 30°. If the rotation range of the cable management rack 220 is too small, it cannot provide sufficient operation and maintenance space, and the operation and maintenance is more difficult; if the rotation range of the cable management rack 220 is too large, it will cause the cable 211 to be driven to rotate too much and cause damage to the cable 211. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the maximum angle of the bearing body 221 is limited to 20°~30°, which can ensure sufficient operation and maintenance space and avoid damage to the cable 211.

[0049] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5The cross section of the carrier body 221 may be configured as an L-shape, so that the carrier body 221 has a bottom wall 2211 and a side wall 2212. Figure 2 The bottom wall 2211 can be supported at the bottom of the cable 211, and the side wall 2212 can be stopped at the front side of the cable 211. Figure 5 As shown, the cable 211 extends from the outer side of the bearing body 221 to the bearing body 221 and is carried on the bottom wall 2211. The side wall 2212 can act as a stopper for the cable 211 to prevent the cable 211 from interfering with other structures, and makes the arrangement of the cable 211 neater, which is convenient for rapid positioning in the operation and maintenance area during operation and maintenance.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, a plurality of hollow portions 2213 may be formed on the bearing body 221 . The design of the hollow portions 2213 reduces the weight of the cable management frame 220 and is also beneficial to the heat dissipation of the cables 211 .

[0051] According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, the cable management rack 220 can be movable in addition to the above-mentioned rotatable bearing body 221, and can also be: the bearing body 221 is detachably arranged on the mounting seat 222, or the mounting seat 222 is detachably arranged on the first cabinet body 310 or the second cabinet body 320. In the operation and maintenance state, the bearing body 221 can be removed from the mounting seat 222, or the mounting seat 222 can be removed from the cabinet body.

[0052] In the present disclosure, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The cable unit 200 includes a plurality of cable assemblies 210, which are arranged along a first direction and / or a third direction. The first direction is the arrangement direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320, and the third direction is the height direction of the first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, multiple groups of cable assemblies 210 are arranged along a first direction. Figure 6 and Figure 7 In the illustrated embodiment, multiple groups of cable assemblies 210 are arranged along the first direction and the third direction. For example, a cable unit 200 is applied to thirty-two nodes 301, and the cable assembly 210 includes four cables 211. Four cable assemblies 210 can be arranged along the first direction, and the four cable assemblies 210 correspond to sixteen nodes. The four cable assemblies 210 can be arranged in a row along the third direction in a replicated manner, such as Figure 7 As shown, two layers of cable assemblies 210 are arranged, and the two layers of cable assemblies 210 correspond to thirty-two nodes. In other embodiments, the number and arrangement of the cable assemblies 210 can be adaptively adjusted according to the number and position of the actual nodes 301.

[0053] Reference Figures 8 to 12 The cabinet assembly may include a plurality of cable units 200, and the plurality of cable units 200 may be arranged along a third direction. The cable assemblies 210 of the plurality of cable units 200 may be separated by a cable management frame 220 of the cable unit 200, so that the wiring of the cabinet assembly is regular.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first cabinet body 310 and the second cabinet body 320 both include a plurality of switches 302 arranged along a third direction, and the nodes 301 are formed on the switches 302, that is, a plurality of nodes 301 may be formed on each switch 302, and a cable unit 200 is correspondingly arranged for each switch 302, which makes it easier to distinguish the cables 211 of different switches 302.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, a nodes 301 are formed on each switch 302, and a nodes 301 are arranged in b layers along the third direction. Each cable assembly 210 includes c cables 211. Multiple cable assemblies 210 in each cable unit 200 are arranged in b layers, and each layer is provided with d cable assemblies 210, wherein a, b, c, and d are all integers, and For example, in one embodiment, a can be thirty-two, b can be two, that is, each switch 302 can be provided with sixteen nodes 301 per layer, each cable unit 200 can be provided with two layers of cable assemblies 210, c can be four, and in this application scenario, d is four, that is, four cable assemblies 210 are provided per layer. In other embodiments, a, b, c, and d can take other values ​​that conform to the formula.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, when maintenance is required on a certain layer, the upper and lower cable management racks 220 of the layer can be rotated away to obtain sufficient maintenance space, such as Fig. 9 and Fig.10 When a smaller maintenance space is needed, such as when the cable 211 needs to be maintained, the upper and lower cable management racks 220 of the maintenance layer can be rotated away from each other. Fig.11 When a larger maintenance space is required, such as when the node 301 needs to be maintained, the upper and lower layers of the cable management rack 220 with the maintenance layer can be rotated away, such as Fig.12 shown. Fig.11 The cable management rack 220 is shown rotating to make way for a smaller maintenance space. Fig.12 The cable management rack 220 is rotated to avoid a larger operation and maintenance space. Compared with the existing wiring method, this wiring method in the embodiment of the present disclosure is more regular and easier to operate in terms of both wiring and operation and maintenance.
