[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Example 1: See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the mini network cabinet provided by the present invention.

[0022] The above-mentioned mini network cabinet includes: The cabinet assembly 1 includes a three-dimensional frame 11, a bottom plate 12, a mesh top plate 13, a cabinet door 14, and a door lock 15. The inner side of the three-dimensional frame 11 is a storage space. The bottom plate 12 is connected to the bottom of the three-dimensional frame 11, the mesh top plate 13 is connected to the top of the three-dimensional frame 11, and the cabinet door 14 is connected to the four sides of the three-dimensional frame 11. The door lock 15 is used to lock the three-dimensional frame 11 and the cabinet door 14. Support cable management assembly 2, connected to the above-mentioned accommodation space, for installing equipment in the cabinet and performing cable management: The temperature control component 3 includes a fan 31 and a thermostat 32. The fan 31 is connected to the inner side of the mesh top plate 13 to drive air flow. The thermostat 32 is connected to the mesh top plate 13 and is used to control the fan 31.

[0023] In the above, the three-dimensional frame 11 refers to a hexahedral support structure made of metal profiles, which forms the basic space for equipment installation. The three-dimensional frame 11 has six frame openings. The bottom plate 12 refers to a horizontal load-bearing plate that supports the cable management component 2 and provides stable support for the equipment. The bottom plate 12 is installed at the lower frame opening of the three-dimensional frame 11. The mesh top plate 13 refers to a top cover with a regularly arranged hole structure distributed on its surface. It is installed at the upper frame opening of the three-dimensional frame 11. The cabinet door 14 refers to an openable and closable structure that covers the opening surface of the three-dimensional frame 11 to achieve four-sided protection. The cabinet door 14 is installed at the four surrounding frame openings of the three-dimensional frame 11. The door lock 15 is used to lock the cabinet door to prevent others from opening the cabinet door 14. The cable management component 2 refers to a component included in the cabinet. The temperature control component 3 refers to an active heat dissipation system arranged on the top of the three-dimensional frame 11. The fan 31 is installed on the fan mounting plate 33. The fan mounting plate 33 is connected to the accommodating space. The switch 34 is used to control the start and stop of the fan 31 temperature control component. The fan 31 drives the air to flow, thereby generating heat in the cabinet, and the fan 31 is automatically controlled by the thermostat 32 .

[0024] Specifically, the rigid connection between the bottom plate 12 and the three-dimensional frame 11 forms a stable base. The mesh top plate 13 serves as the main heat dissipation channel, and its aperture design prevents the intrusion of foreign matter while ensuring the permeability of airflow. The cabinet doors 14 in four directions open and close independently to achieve multi-angle equipment maintenance. The support cable management component 2 can realize the installation of cable management and communication equipment. The thermostat 32 monitors the temperature in the cabinet in real time and adjusts the speed of the fan 31 in stages. When the heat generated by the equipment increases, the fan 31 on the top automatically enhances air convection, and cooperates with the mesh top plate 13 to form a heat dissipation path from bottom to top.

[0025] The above technical solution, through the installation of a mesh top panel 13, four-sided openable cabinet doors 14, and a temperature control assembly, achieves automated temperature control of the network cabinet, achieving efficient heat dissipation. The four-sided openable cabinet doors 14 facilitate maintenance operations and improve maintenance efficiency. Mechanical locks are installed on all four side doors of the cabinet to enhance theft prevention capabilities. This system is suitable for relatively small wiring closets, corridors, and communication network environments with a small number of devices.

[0026] In this embodiment, a wall-mounting lug 16 is further connected to the rear side of the three-dimensional frame 11 .

[0027] In the above, the wall-mounted ear 16 is fixed to the rear side of the three-dimensional frame 11 and is used as a connecting component for wall installation. The component is rigidly connected to the rear side of the three-dimensional frame 11 by bolts, and is used to evenly transfer the overall weight of the cabinet to the wall support structure.

[0028] Specifically, the wall-mounting brackets 16 are symmetrically located at the four corners of the rear side of the three-dimensional frame 11. When wall-mounting is no longer required, the brackets can be removed. Compared to conventional cabinets that are wall-mounted through holes in the back panel, this eliminates the need for wall-mounting from inside the cabinet, while retaining the retractable rear door. This not only facilitates installation but also expands the cabinet's applicability and eliminates the risk of water seeping into the cabinet from the wall.

[0029] Through the above technical solution, the wall-mounted ears 16 are provided, which not only facilitates the installation of the cabinet but also ensures the sealing of the cabinet.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mesh top plate 13 is provided with cabinet merging holes (not shown in the figure) for installing cabinet merging plates.

[0031] In the above description, the cabinet-joining holes refer to the hole structure provided in the mesh top plate 13, which is used to form a physical connection with the corresponding structure of other cabinets through the cabinet-joining plate. The structural design of these holes enables rapid positioning and fixation, ensuring the stability of the connection between cabinets. Physical connection refers to the mechanical combination of multiple cabinets into a whole, so that the cabinets form a horizontal stacking structure.

[0032] Specifically, by setting a cabinet merging hole at the top of the three-dimensional frame 11, the cabinets can be connected side by side left and right through bolted cabinet merging plates. During the installation process, the operator only needs to remove the side door between the two cabinets and use fasteners to install the cabinet merging plates on the cabinet merging holes of the two cabinets to complete the horizontal expansion. This connection method can expand the internal space of the cabinet. Connecting multiple cabinets can achieve unified heat dissipation management, facilitate wiring between cabinets, and improve the aesthetics. It is especially suitable for larger environments such as computer rooms. After the cabinets are combined, the coordination between the cabinet merging holes and the cabinet merging plates further enhances the anti-overturning ability of the overall structure and avoids the risk of displacement due to external forces.

[0033] The above technical solution, through the provision of baying holes, enables rapid expansion and connection of multiple cabinets. The physical connection structure between cabinets enhances overall stability and avoids the vulnerability of traditional independently installed cabinets to external interference. This design is particularly suitable for large-scale scenarios requiring horizontal expansion, such as large wiring closets, making the deployment of network equipment more standardized and efficient.

[0034] In this embodiment, wiring holes (not shown in the figures) for wiring are provided on the bottom plate 12 and the mesh top plate 13 .

[0035] In the above text, the routing hole refers to a channel specifically used for cable passage, and the hole size is adapted to the outer diameter of the standard cable.

[0036] Specifically, the positions of the wiring holes are optimized according to the equipment layout. For example, wiring hole groups are symmetrically arranged at the four corners of the bottom plate 12 and the mesh top plate 13, so that the cables are vertically introduced into the cabinet along the bottom plate 12 and the mesh top plate 13.

[0037] Through the above technical solution, wiring holes are set to facilitate the entry and exit of cables into and out of the cabinet.

[0038] In this embodiment, the four cabinet doors 14 are connected to the front, rear, left and right sides of the three-dimensional frame 11 through door pins (not shown in the figures).

[0039] In the above description, the door pins enable the cabinet doors 14 to be opened or closed around a fixed axis. The four cabinet doors 14 refer to independent door structures that cover the front, rear, left, and right side frame openings of the three-dimensional frame 11 respectively, and each side can be opened and closed independently by an independent installation method.

[0040] Specifically, the four cabinet doors 14 are fixed to the four sides of the three-dimensional frame 11 by hinges, forming a fully enclosed protective structure. Each cabinet door 14 opens and closes independently. When specific equipment needs to be repaired, only the cabinet door 14 on the corresponding side is opened to avoid all cabinet doors 14 being opened at the same time, which may cause the internal equipment to be exposed. The hinge connection method allows the cabinet door 14 to fit tightly with the three-dimensional frame 11 when closed, and it is difficult to be pried and damaged by external force after being fixed by a mechanical lock. In the equipment maintenance scenario, the operator can choose to open single or multiple cabinet doors 14 according to the cable layout or equipment location, reducing the impact of unnecessary operations on equipment safety.

[0041] Through the above technical solution, a door pin is provided to facilitate opening and closing of the cabinet door 14.

[0042] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 14 is a single-opening door that opens in a clockwise direction and closes in a counterclockwise direction.

[0043] In the above description, a single-door structure refers to a single door panel connected to the three-dimensional frame 11 via a door pin, forming an independently openable and closing structure. Clockwise opening refers to the panel rotating clockwise around the door pin axis to its fully extended position, while counterclockwise closing refers to the panel rotating counterclockwise around the door pin axis to its fully closed position. All cabinet doors 14 open and close in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction, ensuring that adjacent cabinet doors do not interfere with each other when opened simultaneously.

[0044] The above technical solution ensures that multiple cabinet doors 14 will not interfere with each other when opened at the same time, and at the same time, multiple door pins can be evenly distributed on the circumference of the cabinet body.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 14 is a closed cabinet door or a mesh cabinet door.

[0046] In the above context, a closed door refers to a completely shielded structure made of solid panels, enhancing security against theft by blocking physical contact. A mesh door is a structure with regularly arranged through-holes on its surface, creating airflow channels to enhance heat dissipation.

[0047] Specifically, closed cabinet doors isolate the external environment, preventing unauthorized access to internal equipment when used in public areas such as corridors, thereby reducing the risk of theft. Perforated cabinet doors, with their hollow structure, promote air circulation, accelerating heat dissipation during high-load operation and preventing overheating and shutdowns. Both door types can be selected based on the installation environment. For example, closed doors can be used for enhanced protection in crowded areas, while perforated doors can be used for optimized heat dissipation in equipment rooms with high heat generation.

[0048] Through the above technical solution, the cabinet door type can be flexibly selected according to the actual usage scenario, thereby adapting to the specific requirements of different installation environments for safety level and heat dissipation performance.

[0049] In this embodiment, the cabinet door 14 is sealed and connected to the three-dimensional frame 11 via a sealing strip (not shown in the figure).

[0050] As described above, the sealing strip refers to an elastic strip-shaped sealing component, specifically made of rubber or silicone. Its cross-section can be hollow or solid, and it is deformed by compression to fill the gap between the cabinet door 14 and the three-dimensional frame 11. The sealing strip is fixed to the edge of the cabinet door by gluing or snapping. When the cabinet door 14 is closed, the sealing strip is compressed and deformed to achieve a tight fit.

[0051] Through the above technical solution, a sealing strip is set to solve the problem of loose connection between the cabinet door 14 and the three-dimensional frame 11, isolate the invasion of external dust and accidentally splashed liquid, and improve the equipment protection capability of the cabinet in open environments such as corridors.

[0052] In this embodiment, the door lock 15 is a mechanical lock.

[0053] In the above, the mechanical lock refers to a locking device with a physical structure, which fixes the cabinet door 14 by cooperating with the lock tongue and the lock hole on the three-dimensional frame 11, uses a key to open it, does not rely on power supply, and can maintain normal use in a power outage environment.

[0054] Through the above technical solution, the door lock 15 is set as a mechanical lock, which has a reliable structure and low cost.

[0055] In this embodiment, the above-mentioned supporting cable management assembly 2 includes a horizontal plate 21, a column 22, a support plate 23, a cable management rack 24 and a grounding copper bus 25. The above-mentioned horizontal plate 21 is connected to the above-mentioned three-dimensional frame 11, and the above-mentioned column 22 is installed on the above-mentioned horizontal plate 21 in an adjustable position. The above-mentioned support plate 23 is connected to the above-mentioned column 22. The above-mentioned support plate 23 is used to install equipment in the cabinet, the above-mentioned cable management rack 24 is used for cable pipelines, and the above-mentioned grounding copper bus 25 is used to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0056] In the above, the position of the column 22 is adjusted by changing the installation position on the horizontal plate 21, so that the installation position of the communication equipment can be flexibly arranged according to actual needs and adapt to the installation needs of equipment of different sizes. The support plate 23 can provide stable support for communication and server equipment that is heavier or not convenient to install in 19 inches. The cable management rack 24 is used to organize optical cables and wires for easy management. When the equipment leaks or static electricity accumulates, the current is quickly introduced into the external grounding system through the grounding copper bus 25. The cabinet frame and each door panel are also connected by a grounding wire, and finally connected to the grounding copper bus 25 through the grounding wire to achieve grounding of the entire cabinet and prevent electric shock caused by accidentally touching the cabinet.

[0057] Specifically, the support plate 23 can stably support communication and server equipment, and the cable management rack 24 is used to organize electronic wires for easy management. When the equipment leaks or static electricity accumulates, the current is quickly introduced into the external grounding system through the grounding copper bus 25.

[0058] Through the above technical solution, the installation of communication equipment and the management of cables in the cabinet are realized.

[0059] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
