[0003] In the existing technology, power supply for ICT (Information and Communication Technology) equipment (such as servers, switches, etc.) in cabinets mainly relies on two traditional methods: top-mounted horizontal PDU (Power Distribution Unit) and side-mounted vertical PDU. Top-mounted horizontal PDU is a horizontally arranged PDU fixed on the top of the cabinet, usually with 8 sockets. This method is suitable for scenarios with a small number of devices and low power consumption, but the number of sockets is limited and cannot meet the power supply needs of high-density devices. In addition, the power cord of the equipment needs to extend from the top to the middle and lower part of the cabinet, resulting in long cables; side-mounted vertical PDU is a PDU installed vertically on the side of the cabinet. The number of sockets can reach 12 to 24. It is suitable for scenarios with dense equipment and high power consumption, but its socket position is fixed, resulting in the power cord of the equipment extending from a fixed position. The cable length generally exceeds 1.5 meters, causing cable accumulation and obstruction of the heat dissipation duct.

[0004] Currently, no effective solution has been proposed for the problems of long power cables and blocked heat dissipation channels caused by traditional fixed PDUs in cabinets in related technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0030] This embodiment provides a power supply device in a cabinet. Figure 1 is a structural block diagram of the power supply device in the cabinet according to an embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a main conductive unit 10, a plurality of branch conductive units 20 and a plurality of power adapter units 30;

[0031] The main conductive unit 10 is fixed in the cabinet;

[0032] A plurality of branch conductive units 20 are connected to the main conductive unit 10 and move along the wiring path of the main conductive unit 10 in the cabinet;

[0033] Multiple power adapter units 30 are connected to each communication device and installed on each branch conductive unit 20; wherein the power adapter unit 30 moves to a specified position along the wiring direction of the branch conductive unit 20 and / or follows the movement direction of the branch conductive unit 20 along the wiring path of the main conductive unit 10; the specified position matches the location of the communication device.

[0034] Among them, the main conductive unit is the core part of the power supply device in the cabinet, which is responsible for receiving external power input and distributing it to each branch conductive unit. The main conductive unit is usually fixedly installed at a certain position of the cabinet, such as the bottom or side of the cabinet, to ensure stability and easy connection to the external power supply; the main conductive unit can be in the form of a copper busbar (with an insulating protective layer) or other conductive devices to provide sufficient current carrying capacity and safety.

[0035] The branch conductive unit serves as a bridge between the main conductive unit and various communications equipment (ICT devices), allowing the power adapter unit to be flexibly moved within the cabinet. By connecting to the main conductive unit, the branch conductive unit can be moved along the main conductive unit's wiring path within the cabinet (for example, vertically). The branch conductive unit can also be made of copper busbars (with an insulating protective layer) or other conductive devices with a certain degree of rigidity to ensure stable and safe current transmission.

[0036] The power adapter unit (such as a PDU socket, PDU plug, etc.) is a device responsible for converting the power provided by the main conductive unit into the voltage and current required by the communication equipment. The power adapter unit is installed on each branch conductive unit and can move along the wiring direction of the branch conductive unit (such as the horizontal direction). At the same time, since the branch conductive unit can be adjusted and moved along the wiring path of the main conductive unit (such as the vertical direction), the power adapter unit can also follow the branch conductive unit and move along the wiring path of the main conductive unit (i.e., the vertical direction) to a specified position. This specified position matches the power interface of the communication equipment to ensure that power can be provided to the communication equipment accurately and efficiently. For example, in a data center cabinet, multiple branch conductive units are arranged horizontally, and multiple power adapter units (PDU sockets) are installed on each branch conductive unit. Communication equipment (such as servers) are installed in different positions in the cabinet, and their power interfaces are located on the side or rear of the equipment. The power adapter unit can be moved along the wiring direction (horizontally) of the branch conductive unit to adapt to the position of the power interface of the communication equipment. Based on the actual installation position of the communication equipment, the operation and maintenance personnel move the power adapter unit to a position that matches the power interface of the equipment and connect the cable. Through horizontal movement and adaptation, the power adapter unit can accurately connect to the power interface of the communication equipment, ensuring the accuracy and stability of power transmission.

[0037] Through the above-mentioned device, the present application can significantly reduce the length and number of required cables and reduce material costs by allowing the power adapter unit and the branch conductive unit to be flexibly moved within the cabinet. Due to the reduction in the number and length of cables, the cables' impact on the space inside the cabinet and heat dissipation is reduced, and the design of the branch conductive unit and the power adapter unit also takes heat dissipation requirements into consideration, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire power supply system. Since both the branch conductive unit and the power adapter unit can be moved and adjusted in position, the entire power supply system has greater flexibility, making it possible to adapt to the power supply needs of communication equipment of different models and locations, reducing the complexity and cost of system upgrades.

[0038] In some of these embodiments, the apparatus further comprises a power cord;

[0039] The power cord is used to connect the power adapter unit to the power interface of the communication device. The length of the power cord is determined according to the preset maximum movement distance between the power adapter unit and the power interface of the communication device.

[0040] Among them, the power cord is used to connect the power adapter unit and the power interface of the communication equipment; the preset maximum moving distance refers to the maximum distance that the power adapter unit may reach from the power interface of the communication equipment when it moves on the branch conductive unit. The preset maximum moving distance takes into account factors such as the spatial layout in the cabinet, the position and moving range of the communication equipment, and the mobility of the power adapter unit. By predetermining this maximum distance, it can be ensured that the length of the power cord is long enough to meet the connection requirements of the power adapter unit during the movement. At the same time, the length of the power cord will not be too long to avoid unnecessary waste and interference. In this embodiment, since the length of the power cord is determined based on the preset maximum moving distance, it can meet the connection requirements of the power adapter unit during the movement, so that the power adapter unit can be flexibly connected to the power interface of the communication equipment, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the connection; by reasonably determining the length of the power cord, it can avoid excessively long power cords from being hung or piled up randomly in the cabinet, thereby optimizing the space utilization in the cabinet. This helps to keep the cabinet tidy and beautiful, while reducing the impact on the heat dissipation channel.

[0041] In some of the embodiments, a temperature and humidity sensor is integrated on the side of the power adapter unit for real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity data of the location where the corresponding connected communication device is located.

[0042] The temperature and humidity sensors can be designed to fit snugly against the sides of the power adapter unit to ensure they accurately measure the temperature and humidity surrounding the communications equipment. The sensors capture environmental parameters through internal sensing elements and transmit them via electrical signals to the processing unit for analysis and recording. Furthermore, to ensure the accuracy and stability of the sensors, regular calibration and maintenance may be required. In this embodiment, by integrating temperature and humidity sensors with the power adapter unit, real-time temperature and humidity data can be monitored at the location of the communications equipment, helping to promptly identify and address potential environmental issues and ensure the normal operation of the communications equipment. The real-time monitoring data provides operators with intuitive information about the environmental conditions within the cabinet. By analyzing this data, operators can predict and identify potential faults or abnormalities, allowing them to take preventive and remedial measures in advance, helping to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. By obtaining temperature and humidity data at the location of the communications equipment, the environmental conditions within the cabinet can be more accurately understood. This data can be used to guide optimization and adjustment of the cabinet environment, such as adjusting the temperature and humidity setpoints of the air conditioning system to improve the stability and reliability of the equipment within the cabinet.

[0043] In some embodiments, the power supply device further includes a dynamic ring module;

[0044] The temperature and humidity sensor communicates with the dynamic environment module through a communication interface or communication protocol, and transmits the temperature and humidity data to the dynamic environment module. The dynamic environment module generates a temperature and humidity cloud map inside the cabinet based on the temperature and humidity data.

[0045] Among them, the power supply device also includes a dynamic ring module. The temperature and humidity sensor communicates with the dynamic ring module through a specific communication interface (such as RS485, RJ45, etc.) or a communication protocol (such as Modbus, TCP / IP, etc.). The sensor transmits the temperature and humidity data monitored in real time to the dynamic ring module, and the dynamic ring module uses this data to generate a temperature and humidity cloud map inside the cabinet. Specifically, after obtaining the temperature and humidity data, the temperature and humidity sensor will send the data to the dynamic ring module through a preset communication interface or protocol. After receiving this data, the dynamic ring module will perform further processing and analysis. Using advanced algorithms and models, the dynamic ring module can generate a temperature and humidity cloud map inside the cabinet based on the received data, thereby intuitively displaying the temperature and humidity distribution at different locations in the cabinet. This embodiment generates a temperature and humidity cloud map inside the cabinet, which can intuitively display the temperature and humidity distribution at different locations inside the cabinet, allowing operation and maintenance personnel to more conveniently understand the environmental conditions inside the cabinet and make more accurate judgments and decisions. That is, operation and maintenance personnel can more accurately adjust the environmental control parameters inside the cabinet (such as the temperature and humidity set values ​​of the air-conditioning system) to help optimize the environmental conditions inside the cabinet and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment; by analyzing the temperature and humidity cloud map, operation and maintenance personnel can more quickly discover and deal with potential environmental problems, thereby improving operation and maintenance efficiency.

[0046] In some embodiments, a tag reader is integrated on the side of the power adapter unit for reading the electronic tag information attached to the communication device and generating tag reader data. The tag reader data includes the device asset status and the device presence status.

[0047] Among them, electronic tags are usually attached to conspicuous positions of communication equipment, and contain asset information such as the unique identification, model, serial number, etc. of the equipment. When the power adapter unit approaches these electronic tags through the tag reader integrated on its side, the reader uses radio frequency identification (RFID) or other wireless communication technologies to read the information in the tag and convert it into recognizable digital data. These data are then transmitted to the processing unit or dynamic ring module for further analysis and recording. In this embodiment, by integrating a tag reader on the power adapter unit, operation and maintenance personnel can quickly read and obtain the asset information of the communication equipment without manual input or search. This greatly improves work efficiency and reduces the possibility of human error; the tag reader can not only read the asset information of the equipment, but also detect the presence of the equipment in real time. When the equipment is moved or removed, the tag reader can immediately sense and generate corresponding data, which helps operation and maintenance personnel to promptly discover and handle the loss or change of the equipment, and ensure the integrity and safety of the equipment in the cabinet.

[0048] In some embodiments, the tag reader communicates with the dynamic environment module through a communication interface or a communication protocol, and generates a device presence status diagram based on the tag reader data.

[0049] The tag reader communicates with the dynamic environment module via a specific communication interface (such as RS485, RJ45, etc.) or communication protocol (such as Modbus, TCP / IP, etc.). After the tag reader reads the electronic tag information attached to the communication device, it generates corresponding tag reader data, including device asset status and device presence status. This data is then transmitted to the dynamic environment module via the communication interface or protocol. After receiving this data, the dynamic environment module further processes and analyzes it, generating a device presence status diagram based on the tag reader data, thereby intuitively displaying the presence status of each device in the cabinet. This embodiment generates a device presence status map, allowing operation and maintenance personnel to intuitively understand the presence status of each device in the cabinet, helping to quickly identify missing or abnormal devices and improve operation and maintenance efficiency. The device presence status map provides real-time status information of the devices in the cabinet, enabling operation and maintenance personnel to manage equipment assets more efficiently. For example, when conducting equipment inventory or maintenance, the target device can be quickly located based on the presence status map, reducing search time. By monitoring the presence status of the devices in real time, operation and maintenance personnel can promptly detect and address the loss or abnormal movement of devices. This helps prevent unauthorized access or theft and enhances the security of the equipment in the cabinet. In addition, the device presence status map not only provides current presence information, but can also be used as historical data to analyze device movement trends and patterns. This information helps operation and maintenance personnel predict future equipment needs and formulate more reasonable operation and maintenance plans and resource allocation strategies.

[0050] In some embodiments, a cable organizer is provided on the branch conductive unit for organizing the communication cables of each communication device to both sides of the cabinet.

[0051] Among them, a cable organizer is provided on the branch conductive unit. The main function of the cable organizer is to organize and comb the communication cables (such as network cables, optical fibers, etc.) of each communication equipment so that they can be arranged in order and guided to both sides of the cabinet. The cable organizer is usually designed to have multiple slots or channels, which can accommodate and fix communication cables of different thicknesses and types, thereby avoiding confusion and entanglement of cables. Specifically, after the communication cables are led out from the communication equipment, they can be guided to the cable organizer on the branch conductive unit. The cable organizer groups and organizes the cables through the slots or channels inside it to ensure that they can be neatly arranged along both sides of the cabinet. In addition, the cable organizer can also provide protection and support for the cables, reducing the risk of wear and damage to the cables in the cabinet. This embodiment can significantly improve the cable management situation in the cabinet by providing a cable organizer. The cables are neatly combed and arranged on both sides of the cabinet, reducing the confusion and entanglement of the cables and improving the neatness and aesthetics of the cabinet. The use of the cable organizer makes it easier and more convenient to find and connect the cables. When performing equipment maintenance or upgrades, operation and maintenance personnel can quickly find the required cables, reducing the search time and work difficulty. By neatly combing the cables to both sides of the cabinet, it can ensure that the heat dissipation channels in the cabinet remain unobstructed, which helps to reduce the temperature in the cabinet and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment. The neatly arranged cables reduce the safety hazards in the cabinet, avoid potential risks such as short circuits and fires caused by cable chaos, and improve the overall safety of the cabinet.

[0052] In some embodiments, an insulating protective layer is provided on the outside of the main conductive unit; and / or an insulating protective layer is provided on the outside of the plurality of branch conductive units.

[0053] Among them, an insulating protective layer will be provided on the outside of the main conductive unit and / or multiple branch conductive units. This design is mainly achieved by wrapping a layer of insulating material on the surface of the conductive unit, such as rubber, plastic or other materials with insulating properties. The insulating protective layer can be tightly combined with the conductive unit through processes such as extrusion, coating or winding to form a complete insulation system. Specifically, for the main conductive unit, since it usually carries a large current and voltage, its external insulating protective layer needs to have high insulation strength and aging resistance. For the branch conductive unit, although the current and voltage it carries may be relatively small, an insulating protective layer is also required to ensure its safety and stability. The insulating protective layer of this embodiment can reduce the impact of the external environment (such as humidity, temperature, dust, etc.) on the conductive unit, thereby maintaining the stability of its electrical performance, helping to extend the service life of the conductive unit, and reducing failures and damage caused by environmental factors; the insulating protective layer can effectively prevent the conductive unit from making direct contact with external objects or personnel, thereby avoiding electric shock accidents, which is crucial to ensuring the safety of operation and maintenance personnel and the normal operation of equipment. The conductive unit provided with an insulating protective layer is more convenient to maintain. Due to the presence of the insulating layer, the operation and maintenance personnel do not need to take additional complex insulation measures when handling the conductive unit, thereby simplifying the maintenance process and improving work efficiency.

[0054] In some embodiments, the apparatus further comprises a fixing bracket;

[0055] The fixing bracket is installed on the inner wall of the cabinet and is used to fix the main conductive unit in the cabinet.

[0056] The fixing bracket is typically made of metal or high-strength plastic to ensure sufficient strength and stability. Its shape and size are customized based on the main conductive unit's appearance and installation requirements to ensure a tight fit. During installation, the fixing bracket must first be securely attached to the cabinet by drilling holes or installing fixings at predetermined locations on the cabinet's inner wall. The main conductive unit is then placed on the fixing bracket and securely fastened to the bracket using bolts, clips, or other fastening methods. In this embodiment, the main conductive unit can be firmly fixed in the cabinet through the fixing bracket to prevent it from being displaced or loosened due to vibration, movement or other external forces, which helps to ensure the stability and reliability of the power supply device and reduce electrical faults caused by the movement of the conductive unit; the fixing bracket makes the installation and removal of the main conductive unit more convenient, and the operation and maintenance personnel can easily access and operate the main conductive unit when performing equipment maintenance, upgrading or troubleshooting, thereby improving work efficiency; the design of the fixing bracket helps to optimize the space layout in the cabinet. By reasonably arranging the position and fixing method of the main conductive unit, the space resources in the cabinet can be fully utilized, and the integration and overall aesthetics of the equipment can be improved; the stable fixing bracket can reduce the safety hazards caused by loosening or falling off of the main conductive unit, for example, preventing the conductive unit from colliding with or short-circuiting other components in the cabinet, thereby ensuring the safety of equipment and personnel.

[0057] In addition, this embodiment further provides an in-cabinet power supply system, comprising: communication equipment and an in-cabinet power supply device as in any of the above embodiments; wherein the in-cabinet power supply device is connected to each communication equipment via a power adapter unit.

[0058] Communication equipment refers to devices used to transmit, receive, or process information, namely ICT equipment such as servers, switches, and routers. These devices require a stable power supply to maintain normal operation. The in-cabinet power supply unit is the core component of the in-cabinet power supply system. It is responsible for introducing external power into the cabinet and providing appropriate power to each communication device through the power adapter unit. It typically includes components such as the main conductive unit, branch conductive units, and power adapter unit. Each communication device is connected to the power adapter unit of the in-cabinet power supply unit via a cable. The power adapter unit provides the appropriate voltage and current based on the power requirements of the communication device. After the power adapter unit introduces external power, it adapts and converts it, and then distributes the power to each communication device through the branch conductive units, ensuring stable power transmission and distribution.

[0059] The embodiments of the present application are described and illustrated below through preferred embodiments.

[0060] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of a power supply device in a cabinet according to a preferred embodiment of the present application, such as Figure 2As shown, inside the cabinet, the external power supply cable is connected to the cabinet power copper busbar (with an insulated protective layer), which is then secured with a bracket. Branch copper busbars (with an insulated protective layer) are installed where different ICT devices are placed. PDU sockets can be inserted and secured at the locations where the ICT device power ports are located. Power cables are connected to the ICT device power supply and the PDU sockets. The PDU sockets can be adjusted horizontally on the branch copper busbar, and the branch copper busbars can be adjusted vertically. This shortens the power cables, conserves resources, and does not block the heat dissipation path, eliminating the need for cable management. Furthermore, the network cables, optical fibers, and other communication cables behind the ICT devices can be conveniently organized to the sides of the cabinet using the cable organizers on the branch copper busbars, facilitating wiring without blocking the heat dissipation path and promoting the long-term stable operation of the ICT equipment.

[0061] The PDU's exterior integrates a temperature and humidity sensor and a tag reader. The temperature and humidity sensor measures the temperature and humidity at the corresponding location, while the tag reader reads tags attached to ICT equipment to determine the ICT equipment's status and whether the equipment is present at that location. The information captured by the temperature and humidity sensor and the tag reader is transmitted to the dynamic environment system via an RS485, RJ45, or other interface. Communication can be accomplished via serial ports, Modbus, or TCP / IP protocols. The dynamic environment system processes the collected temperature and humidity values ​​through a specific algorithm and outputs a temperature and humidity cloud map within the cabinet, which is then displayed on a monitor. This allows maintenance personnel to visually monitor the temperature and humidity conditions within the cabinet. The dynamic environment system processes the collected ICT equipment presence information through a specific algorithm and displays the presence of the equipment at the corresponding location, facilitating asset management.

[0062] In the above preferred embodiment, the power copper busbar can also be replaced with a cable or other conductive device, and the branch copper busbar can be replaced with a conductive device with a certain hardness to facilitate the fixation of the PDU socket; the PDU socket can also be adjusted to a PDU plug; the main application scenario is to be arranged in a cabinet to power ICT equipment.
