Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of network cabinets, and in particular to a visual network cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] N9 profile (nine-fold profile) cabinets are widely used in energy storage, electrical control, and power distribution. In industrial automation control, they can be used for core equipment installation and integration of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), frequency converters, inverters, and other automation equipment. They also offer environmental protection with an IP55 dustproof and waterproof design, suitable for various harsh industrial environments. In power and distribution systems, they can replace traditional cabinets, including GGD cabinets (where the first G indicates low-voltage distribution cabinet, the second G indicates fixed installation and wiring, and D indicates power cabinet), and support the installation of large switches and reactors.

[0003] The standard equipment cooling solutions for N9 profile cabinets are: Solution 1, front-intake cabinet: The cabinet has mesh doors at both the front and back, utilizing the air conditioning in the server room to draw in cool air from the front and exhaust hot air from the rear to cool the equipment inside. Solution 2, bottom-intake cabinet: The front door is a sheet metal door (without mesh, not air-permeable), and the rear door is a mesh door. It utilizes the air conditioning in the server room to draw in cool air from the bottom and exhaust hot air from the rear to cool the equipment inside.

[0004] In the case of the N9 profile cabinet in Option 2, the front door has no mesh due to design requirements, which affects the real-time control of the equipment operation status by the computer room management personnel.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a visual network cabinet, including a cabinet body 11, a transparent window panel 9, and a cover plate 4. At least one window is provided on the side panel 3 of the cabinet body 11, and a transparent window panel 9 is provided on the window. A cover plate 4 is movably installed on the transparent window panel 9, and the cover plate 4 can completely cover the transparent window panel 9. In this embodiment, the N9 profile cabinet allows for viewing the internal equipment operating status without opening the door, improving the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner and reducing the time cost for data center management personnel. Furthermore, the transparent window panel 9 can be covered as needed to prevent leakage of the internal structure of the cabinet.

[0025] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the cabinet body 11 is a bottom-intake cabinet. A window is provided on the front door 2 of the cabinet body 11, so that the internal status of the cabinet can be viewed intuitively during maintenance without opening the door.

[0026] As an optional solution, the transparent window panel 9 in this embodiment is made of glass or transparent acrylic sheet. Transparent acrylic sheet is preferred in this embodiment because it is sturdy, durable, and not easily broken. This embodiment also uses transparent plexiglass to effectively prevent additional problems caused by potential glass breakage. The cabinet body 11 features a simple appearance, ease of use, and affordable price, offering a higher cost-performance ratio compared to ordinary N9 profile cabinets.

[0027] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a limiting strip 7 is provided on one side of the window, and a sealing strip 8 is provided on the other side. At least one pair of limiting strips 7 are fixed to the edges of both sides of the window by bolts. The limiting strips 7 and the side plate 3 form a window panel slot. The edge of the transparent window panel 9 is inserted into the window panel slot. The sealing strip 8 and the limiting strip 7 are both made of rubber or polyurethane. In this embodiment, the sealing strip 8 is located between the window and the transparent window panel 9, which can ensure the airtightness of the cabinet and also allow observation of its internal status. When installing the transparent window panel 9, first install a Z-shaped limiting strip 7 on the inside of the window using nuts, so that the limiting strip 7 is located on the inside of the window and forms a window panel slot with the side panel 3. The transparent window panel 9 is placed in the window panel slot and limited in position. A sealing strip 8 is added to one side of the transparent window panel 9, about 1cm from the edge inside the window. This ensures the airtightness of the front door 2 while maintaining the visibility of the mesh door. At the same time, when the cover plate 4 is closed, it also ensures the concealment of the sheet metal door. This allows for a certain degree of confidentiality when customers visit the project, and the operation is convenient and quick. In this embodiment, a sealing strip 8 is installed between the transparent window panel 9 and the cabinet door, and the sheet metal bending limiting strip 7 is used in conjunction with screws to ensure the airtightness of the front door, improve the cooling effect of the air conditioner, and achieve an IP55 level dustproof and waterproof design, making it suitable for various harsh industrial environments.

[0028] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the distance from the windows to the edges of the side panels 3 is no more than 20cm, and a sufficiently large through window is reserved to facilitate clear and intuitive observation of the internal condition of the entire cabinet body 11. In this embodiment, the preferred spacing is 12cm, which provides sufficient structural stability and a sufficiently large window, ensuring both the sealing of the front door 2 and the visibility of the mesh door.

[0029] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a cover plate 4 is hinged to the window. The cover plate 4 can be closed with the window. When it is not necessary to display, the window can be covered by the cover plate 4 to avoid information leakage and to take into account the concealment of the sheet metal door.

[0030] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a magnetic block 11 is provided on one side of both the window and the cover plate 4. Alternatively, a magnetic block 11 can be embedded in the transparent window plate 9. The two magnetic blocks 11 can attract and match each other, and the attraction force of the magnetic blocks 11 is used to complete the closing and fixing action without shaking. It is also convenient to operate and can quickly open and close the cover plate 4 to observe the operating status of the equipment in the cabinet.

[0031] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a handle 10 is provided on the cover plate 4. The handle 10 and the magnetic block 11 are located on the same side of the cover plate 4, providing a grip point, which saves effort and facilitates the opening and closing of the cover plate 4.

[0032] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the shielding cover 4 is made of an opaque material, such as an opaque acrylic sheet, which is lightweight and inexpensive. In this embodiment, the shielding cover 4 is removable, and its color can be matched with the overall color scheme of the cabinet body 11.

[0033] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the cabinet body 11 includes a rectangular frame, a front door 2, side panels 3, a rear door 6, a bottom plate 5, and a top plate 12. The top plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular frame, the bottom plate 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom, and two side panels 3 are arranged around the perimeter and hinged to the front door 2 and the rear door 6, forming a box. In this embodiment, it is preferable to provide a window on the front door 2 to reserve sufficient observation space, or windows can be opened on the side panels 3. The bottom plate 5 is evenly distributed with mesh holes to facilitate air intake from the air conditioner. The rear door 6 is convenient for maintenance. The top plate 12 is provided with at least one pair of lifting rings to facilitate hoisting and moving the equipment. In this embodiment, the cabinet body 11 adopts a modular design, with a nine-fold profile integrally welded frame. The front door 2 and the rear door 6 can be hinged to the frame. The frame is provided with modular holes with a 25mm spacing to facilitate the adjustment of electrical components. Combined with fan filters or air conditioning equipment, heat dissipation is optimized to ensure stable operation of communication equipment.

[0034] This embodiment features a simple appearance, ease of use, and affordable price. Compared to ordinary N9 profile cabinets, it has a more optimized structure and higher cost-effectiveness. The N9 profile cabinet in this embodiment has a transparent window panel 9 on the front door 2. A detachable acrylic sheet is added outside the transparent window panel 9 as a cover 4. The cover 4 is equipped with a magnetic block 11, allowing for quick opening and closing to observe the operating status of the equipment inside the cabinet. A sealing strip is installed between the transparent window panel 9 and the front door 2, and a limiting strip 7 made of sheet metal bending parts is used in conjunction with bolts to fix the transparent window panel 9, ensuring the airtightness of the front door 2 and improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner in the bottom-intake cabinet. It features an IP55-level dustproof and waterproof design, suitable for various harsh industrial environments. It can be used for the integration of PLCs, frequency converters, inverters, and other automation equipment, can replace GGD and other distribution cabinets, supports the installation of large switches and reactors, and is compatible with 19-inch standard equipment such as switches and servers, offering strong expandability and compatibility.
