[0002] A cabinet is an independent or self-supporting casing used to house electrical or electronic equipment. Cabinets are generally equipped with doors, removable or non-removable side panels and back panels. Cabinets are an indispensable component of electrical equipment and are the carrier of electrical control equipment. They are generally made of cold-rolled steel plates or alloys. They can provide waterproof, dustproof, and anti-electromagnetic interference protection for stored equipment. Cabinets are generally divided into server cabinets, network cabinets, console cabinets, etc.

[0003] The Chinese patent with patent number CN201711275928.0 discloses "A cabinet foot with hidden casters". By adjusting the bolts, the casters are pushed and retracted with the intersection axis as the center of the circle, so that the casters can be hidden inside the cabinet after use, which is convenient for the transportation and daily placement of the cabinet.

[0004] This structure has certain advantages, but still has some shortcomings:

[0005] When the cabinet needs to be moved again after the casters are hidden inside, the casters are driven to rotate and extend out of the bottom of the cabinet by moving the adjusting bolts outward. During this operation, the load-bearing capacity of the casters adjusted in sequence is too large, which may easily cause the cabinet to be unstable. In addition, the casters are difficult to extend out of the bottom of the cabinet due to the large force, making the operation difficult. When the casters are retracted, one side of the cabinet touches the ground first, which may easily cause the cabinet to tilt, making it inconvenient to place and move the cabinet safely.
