[0033] Next, the cabinet cable trough structure and data center of the present application are described through embodiments.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 The three-dimensional schematic diagram of the cabinet cable duct structure shown in the figure, Figure 2 The main schematic diagram and Figure 3 Schematic side view shown. Figures 1 to 3The wire trough structure for the cabinet in the embodiment includes a wiring trough 110, four cable inlets and outlets 120, a first connecting plate 130 and a second connecting plate 140. Cables enter and exit the wiring trough 110 through the cable inlets and outlets 120. The first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140 are used to connect to the outside (such as a cabinet) to fix the wire trough structure.

[0035] Specifically, the wiring trough 110 includes a first side plate 111, a bottom plate 112, and a second side plate 113. The first side plate 111, the bottom plate 112, and the second side plate 113 are all plate-shaped and extend along the first direction D1. Two opposite sides of the bottom plate 112 in the second direction D2 are respectively connected to the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 to form the wiring trough 110. Figure 3 As shown, the wiring trough 110 is trough-shaped, extends along the first direction D1, and has an upward opening. The wiring trough 110 has a space S for arranging cables. When multiple cable trough structures are sequentially connected along the first direction D1, the multiple spaces S form a channel for arranging cables.

[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first side panel 111 is bent into a U-shape, and the second side panel 113 is also bent into a U-shape, wherein the opening of the U-shape is downward. The U-shaped first side panel 111 and the second side panel 113 can improve the overall strength of the wire trough structure. The U-shaped first side panel 111 and the second side panel 113 can be prepared by a bending process. In some embodiments, the bending part of the first side panel 111 has a plurality of through holes 111a arranged in sequence in the first direction D1, and / or the bending part of the second side panel 113 has a plurality of through holes 113a arranged in sequence in the first direction D1. The present application does not limit the number of through holes 111a and through holes 113a, which can be set according to requirements. Through holes 111a and through holes 113a can reduce the material cost for manufacturing the wire trough structure, and can also release the stress at the bending part.

[0037] It should be noted that although Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment, the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 are bent into a U shape, but the shape and structure of the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 in the present application are not limited to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, for example, the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 can also be in a straight plate shape. For another example, the first side plate 111 is bent into a U shape, and the second side plate 113 is in a straight plate shape.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, two cable inlets and outlets 120 arranged at intervals in the first direction D1 penetrate the first side plate 111, and two cable inlets and outlets 120 arranged at intervals in the first direction D1 penetrate the second side plate 113. Each cable inlet and outlet 120 is connected to the wiring trough 110, and cables can enter and exit the wiring trough 110 through the cable inlet and outlet 120.

[0039] One of the situations in which the cable trough structure of the present application is used to arrange cables is as follows: multiple cable trough structures are installed on the top of the cabinet, and the cables are collected in the wiring trough 110 through the cable inlet and outlet 120. The cables extend in the wiring trough, and the cables can be taken out of the wiring trough 110 at the required position through the cable inlet and outlet 120. Compared with the hanging cable bracket, the cable trough structure of the present application can be installed on the top of the cabinet, which has the advantage of low installation difficulty. In addition, the cables can be collected in the wiring trough 110 at any position and the cables can be taken out of the wiring trough 110 through the wiring trough 110 and the cable inlet and outlet 120, thereby reducing the wiring workload and the length of the cables.

[0040] It should be noted that in Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment of the present invention, the first side plate 111 and the second side plate 113 are both provided with a cable inlet and outlet 120, but the position and number of the cable inlet and outlet 120 of the present invention are not limited to Figures 1 to 3 For example, the cable inlet and outlet 120 may be provided only on the first side plate 111 (or the second side plate 113), and the number of the cable inlet and outlet 120 on the first side plate 111 (or the second side plate 113) is not limited to 2, but may be 1 or 3.

[0041] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the cable trough structure further includes four rubber strips (not shown), which respectively wrap at least part of the side edges of the corresponding cable inlet and outlet 120. The rubber strips can prevent the side edges of the cable inlet and outlet 120 from scratching the cables.

[0042] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140 are arranged opposite to each other in the second direction D2, the first connecting plate 130 is connected to the first side plate 111, and the second connecting plate 140 is connected to the second side plate 113. The first connecting plate 130 has two connecting holes 131 arranged at intervals in the first direction D1, and the second connecting plate 140 also has two connecting holes arranged at intervals in the first direction D1. Figures 1 to 3The two connection holes on the second connection plate 140 cannot be observed in the figure. The connection holes can be used to fix the first connection plate 130 and the second connection plate 140. For example, bolts are passed through the connection holes to bolt the wire trough structure to the top of the cabinet. The present application does not limit the number of connection holes, which can be set according to requirements.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the connection holes in the first connection plate 130 and the connection holes in the second connection plate 140 are long strips and not closed holes, so that it is convenient to adjust the position of the wire trough structure in the second direction D2. In other embodiments, the connection holes in the first connection plate 130 and the connection holes in the second connection plate 140 can also be round holes.

[0044] refer to Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the bottom plate 112 is higher than the first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140. In the case where the cable trough structure is installed on the top of the cabinet, the first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140 are connected to the top of the cabinet, and the bottom plate 112 is higher than the first connecting plate 130 and the second connecting plate 140, so that a space can be formed below the bottom plate 112, which is conducive to heat dissipation of the cabinet.

[0045] The material of the cable duct structure of the present application is metal or plastic, for example, the material is metal aluminum or metal steel.

[0046] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the wire trough structure further includes a first overlapping portion 150, a second overlapping portion 160, a third overlapping portion 170 and a fourth overlapping portion 180. The first overlapping portion 150 and the second overlapping portion 160 are arranged at both ends of the first side plate 111 in the first direction D1, and the third overlapping portion 170 and the fourth overlapping portion 180 are arranged at both ends of the second side plate 113 in the first direction D1. The first overlapping portion 150 and the second overlapping portion 160 protrude from the side edge of the connected first side plate 111 in the first direction D1, and the third overlapping portion 170 and the fourth overlapping portion 180 protrude from the side edge of the connected second side plate 113 in the first direction D1. The first overlapping portion 150, the second overlapping portion 160, the third overlapping portion 170 and the fourth overlapping portion 180 can be overlapped on other wire troughs extending along the second direction D2.

[0047] The present application further proposes a data center, which includes: a plurality of cabinet wire trough structures as described above, wherein the plurality of cabinet wire trough structures are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence along a first direction, so that the wiring troughs in the plurality of cabinet wire trough structures form a channel for arranging cables.
