[0027] The following describes exemplary embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Various details of the embodiments of the present application are included to facilitate understanding, and they should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those of ordinary skill in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application. Similarly, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted below for clarity and conciseness.
[0028] Refer to Figure 1-2 , the cabinet 1 in the first embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cabinet body 11 and a first PDU bracket 12.
[0029] The cabinet body 11 can be used to carry the server 2. The common size specifications of the cabinet body 11 can be a depth of 1200 mm and a width of 600 mm.
[0030] The first PDU bracket 12 can be used to support the first PDU group 3. The first PDU group 3 can be connected to the first PSU (Power Supply Unit) 21 of the server 2 to realize power supply to the server 2. Among them, the first PDU group 3 can include at least one PDU. The current specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: 32A, 63A, etc. The length specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: short type 650 mm, medium type 980 mm, long type 1935 mm, long type 2135 mm, etc.
[0031] As the depth design of the server 2 becomes deeper and deeper, the first PDU group 3 is usually configured at the tail of the cabinet body 11. Usually, one end of the first PDU bracket 12 can be movably connected to one side of the tail of the cabinet body 11. The other end of the first PDU bracket 12 can be fixedly connected to the first PDU group 3. In this way, the first PDU bracket 12 can drive the first PDU group 3 to rotate. As Figure 1 shown, in the working state, the first PSU 21 is inserted into the server 2. The first PDU bracket 12 rotates towards the inside of the cabinet body 11, and the first PDU group 3 can be placed inside the cabinet body 11. As Figure 2 shown, in the operation and maintenance state, the first PDU bracket 12 rotates towards the outside of the cabinet body 11, and the first PDU group 3 can be placed outside the cabinet body. Subsequently, the first PSU 21 can be pulled out from the server 2 without being blocked by the first PDU group 3, thereby solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the first PSU 21 of the server 2.
[0032] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 may further include a first cable management rack 13. The first PDU bracket 12 can be installed on the first cable management rack 13. By the first PDU bracket 12, the first PDU group 3 and the first cable management rack 13 can be staggeredly arranged, so as to increase the number of PDUs placed, and further improve the single-cabinet power supply capacity of the cabinet 1.
[0033] Refer to Figure 3-4 , the cabinet 1 in the second embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cabinet body 11 and a first PDU bracket 12.
[0034] The cabinet body 11 can be used to carry the server 2. The common size specifications of the cabinet body 11 can be a depth of 1200 mm and a width of 600 mm.
[0035] The first PDU bracket 12 can be used to support the first PDU group 3. The first PDU group 3 can be connected to the first PSU 21 of the server 2, so as to realize power supply to the server 2. Among them, the first PDU group 3 may include at least one PDU. The current specifications of the PDU may include but are not limited to: 32A, 63A, etc. The length specifications of the PDU may include but are not limited to: short type 650 mm, medium type 980 mm, long type 1935 mm, long type 2135 mm, etc.
[0036] As the depth design of the server 2 becomes deeper and deeper, the first PDU group 3 is usually configured at the tail of the cabinet body 11. Usually, the first PDU bracket 12 may include a first folding bracket 121 and a second folding bracket 122. One end of the first folding bracket 121 is movably connected to one end of the second folding bracket 122. The other end of the first folding bracket 121 is movably connected to one side of the tail of the cabinet body 11. The other end of the second folding bracket 122 is fixedly connected to the first PDU group 3. In this way, the second folding bracket 122 can drive the first PDU group 3 to rotate. As Figure 3 shown, in the working state, the first PSU 21 is inserted into the server 2. By folding the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122, the first PDU group 3 can be placed inside the cabinet body 11. As Figure 4 shown, in the operation and maintenance state, by stretching the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122, the first PDU group 3 can be placed outside the cabinet body 11. Subsequently, the first PSU 21 can be pulled out from the server 2 without being blocked by the first PDU group 3, thereby solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the first PSU 21 of the server 2.
[0037] In some embodiments, one end of the first folding bracket 121 and one end of the second folding bracket 122 can be connected through a first rotating shaft 123, so that the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122 can rotate 360 degrees.
[0038] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 may further include a first cable management rack 13. The first PDU bracket 12 can be installed on the first cable management rack 13. By the first PDU bracket 12, the first PDU group 3 and the first cable management rack 13 can be staggered, so as to increase the placement quantity of the PDUs, and further improve the single-cabinet power supply capacity of the cabinet 1.
[0039] Referring to Figure 5-6 , the cabinet 1 in the third embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cabinet body 11, a first PDU bracket 12, and a second PDU bracket 14.
[0040] The cabinet body 11 can be used to carry the server 2. The common size specifications of the cabinet body 11 can be a depth of 1200 mm and a width of 600 mm.
[0041] The first PDU bracket 12 can be used to support the first PDU group 3. The second PDU bracket 14 can be used to support the second PDU group 4. The first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 can be a primary and a standby. Under normal circumstances, the first PDU group 3 can be connected to the first PSU 21 of the server 2, so as to supply power to the server 2. In the case of a failure of the first PDU group 3, the second PDU group 4 can be connected to the second PSU 22 of the server 2, so as to supply power to the server 2. By setting the primary and standby PDU groups, the availability and reliability of the power system of the server 2 can be improved, and the downtime of the server 2 can be reduced. Among them, both the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 can include at least one PDU. The current specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: 32A, 63A, etc. The length specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: short type 650mm, medium type 980mm, long type 1935mm, long type 2135mm, etc.
[0042] Due to the increasing depth design of the server 2, the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 are usually configured on both sides of the tail of the cabinet 11. Usually, the first PDU bracket 12 can include a first folding bracket 121 and a second folding bracket 122. One end of the first folding bracket 121 is movably connected to one end of the second folding bracket 122. The other end of the first folding bracket 121 is movably connected to one side of the tail of the cabinet 11. The other end of the second folding bracket 122 is fixedly connected to the first PDU group 3. The second PDU bracket 14 can include a third folding bracket 141 and a fourth folding bracket 142. One end of the third folding bracket 141 is movably connected to one end of the fourth folding bracket 142. The other end of the third folding bracket 141 is movably connected to one side of the tail of the cabinet 11. The other end of the fourth folding bracket 142 is fixedly connected to the second PDU group 4. In this way, the second folding bracket 122 can drive the first PDU group 3 to rotate. The fourth folding bracket 142 can drive the second PDU group 4 to rotate. As Figure 5 shown, in the working state, the first PSU 21 is inserted into the server 2. Fold the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122, and the first PDU group 3 can be placed inside the cabinet 11. Similarly, the second PSU 22 is inserted into the server 2. Fold the third folding bracket 141 and the fourth folding bracket 142, and the second PDU group 4 can be placed inside the cabinet 11. As Figure 6As shown, in the operation and maintenance state, the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122 are stretched, and the first PDU group 3 can be placed outside the cabinet 11. Subsequently, the first PSU 21 can be unplugged from the server 2 without being blocked by the first PDU group 3, thereby solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the first PSU 21 of the server 2. Similarly, the third folding bracket 141 and the fourth folding bracket 142 are stretched, and the second PDU group 4 can be placed outside the cabinet 11. Subsequently, the second PSU 22 can be unplugged from the server 2 without being blocked by the second PDU group 4, thereby solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the second PSU 22 of the server 2.
[0043] With the continuous increase in chip power consumption and single-node power consumption of server 2, the power supply capacity of a single PDU cannot meet the demand. In order to accommodate more high-power-consuming servers 2, multiple PDUs can be arranged in the cabinet 1. Generally, the first PDU group 3 may include multiple PDUs. For example, the first PDU group 3 may include at least two PDU slots, and each PDU slot may be arranged with at least two PDUs up and down (such as 2 medium PDUs up and down, or 3 short PDUs up, middle and down) to increase the power supply capacity and deployment density of the cabinet 1. Similarly, the second PDU group 4 may include multiple PDUs. For example, the second PDU group 4 may include at least two PDU slots, and each PDU slot may be arranged with at least two PDUs up and down (such as 2 medium PDUs up and down, or 3 short PDUs up, middle and down) to increase the power supply capacity and deployment density of the cabinet 1.
[0044] In some embodiments, one end of the first folding bracket 121 and one end of the second folding bracket 122 may be connected via a first rotating shaft 123, so that the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122 can rotate 360 degrees. Similarly, one end of the third folding bracket 141 and one end of the fourth folding bracket 142 may be connected via a second rotating shaft 143, so that the third folding bracket 141 and the fourth folding bracket 142 can rotate 360 degrees.
[0045] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 may further include a first cable management rack 13 and a second cable management rack 14. The first PDU bracket 12 may be installed on the first cable management rack 13. The second PDU bracket 14 may be installed on the second cable management rack 15. The first PDU bracket 12 may be used to stagger the first PDU group 3 and the first cable management rack 13, and the second PDU bracket 14 may be used to stagger the second PDU group 4 and the second cable management rack 15, thereby increasing the number of PDUs placed, thereby improving the power supply capacity of a single cabinet of the cabinet 1.
[0046] See also Figure 7, the cabinet 1 in the fourth embodiment of the present disclosure may include a cabinet body 11, a first PDU bracket 12, and a second PDU bracket 14.
[0047] The cabinet body 11 can be used to carry the server 2. The size specifications of the cabinet body 11 can be a depth of 1200 mm and a width of 800 mm. The width is increased from 600 mm to 800 mm, so that exactly 3 cabinets 1 can be placed in the pre-module with a width of 2400 mm in the data center.
[0048] The first PDU bracket 12 can be used to support the first PDU group 3. The second PDU bracket 14 can be used to support the second PDU group 4. The first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 can be a primary and a backup. Under normal circumstances, the first PDU group 3 can be connected to the first PSU 21 of the server 2 to realize power supply to the server 2. In the case of a failure of the first PDU group 3, the second PDU group 4 can be connected to the second PSU 22 of the server 2 to realize power supply to the server 2. By setting the primary and backup PDUs, the availability and reliability of the power system of the server 2 can be improved, and the downtime of the server 2 can be reduced. Among them, the current specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: 32A, 63A, etc. The length specifications of the PDU can include but are not limited to: short type 650 mm, medium type 980 mm, long type 1935 mm, long type 2135 mm, etc.
[0049] Since the depth of the server 2 is designed deeper and deeper, the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 are usually configured at the tail of the cabinet body 11. Usually, one end of the first PDU bracket 12 can be movably connected to one side of the tail of the cabinet body 11. The other end of the first PDU bracket 12 can be fixedly connected to the first PDU group 3. One end of the second PDU bracket 14 can be movably connected to the other side of the tail of the cabinet body 11. The other end of the second PDU bracket 14 can be fixedly connected to the second PDU group 4. In this way, the first PDU bracket 12 can drive the first PDU group 3 to rotate. The second PDU bracket 14 can drive the second PDU group 4 to rotate. As Figure 7As shown, when the first PDU bracket 12 and the second PDU bracket 14 are rotated to place the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 inside the cabinet 11, the insertion and extraction directions of the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 face the rear side of the cabinet. When the first PSU 21 is in the operation and maintenance state, it is pulled out from the server 2. When the second PSU 22 is in the working state, it is inserted into the server 2. Since the size of the cabinet 11 is widened, the insertion and extraction directions of the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 can be adjusted. Even when the first PDU group 3 and the second PDU group 4 are inside the cabinet 11, when the first PSU 21 is pulled out from the server 2, it is not blocked by the first PDU group 3, thus solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the first PSU 21 of the server 2. Similarly, when the second PSU 22 is pulled out from the server 2, it is not blocked by the second PDU group 4, thus solving the operation and maintenance interference problem of the second PSU 22 of the server 2.
[0050] With the continuous increase of the chip power consumption and the power consumption of a single node of the server 2, the power supply capacity of a single PDU cannot meet the requirements. In order to accommodate more high-power servers 2, multiple PDUs can be arranged in the cabinet 1. Generally, the first PDU group 3 can include multiple PDUs. For example, the first PDU group 3 can include at least two PDU slots, and at least two PDUs can be arranged vertically in each PDU slot (such as arranging 2 medium-sized PDUs vertically, or arranging 3 short-sized PDUs in the upper, middle, and lower positions) to increase the power supply capacity and deployment density of the cabinet 1. Similarly, the second PDU group 4 can include multiple PDUs. For example, the second PDU group 4 can include at least two PDU slots, and at least two PDUs can be arranged vertically in each PDU slot (such as arranging 2 medium-sized PDUs vertically, or arranging 3 short-sized PDUs in the upper, middle, and lower positions) to increase the power supply capacity and deployment density of the cabinet 1.
[0051] In some embodiments, one end of the first folding bracket 121 and one end of the second folding bracket 122 can be connected by a first rotating shaft 123, so that the first folding bracket 121 and the second folding bracket 122 can rotate 360 degrees. Similarly, one end of the third folding bracket 141 and one end of the fourth folding bracket 142 can be connected by a second rotating shaft 143, so that the third folding bracket 141 and the fourth folding bracket 142 can rotate 360 degrees.
[0052] In some embodiments, the cabinet 1 may further include a first cable management rack 13 and a second cable management rack 14. The first PDU bracket 12 may be installed on the first cable management rack 13. The second PDU bracket 14 may be installed on the second cable management rack 15. By means of the first PDU bracket 12, the first PDU group 3 can be staggeredly arranged with respect to the first cable management rack 13, and by means of the second PDU bracket 14, the second PDU group 4 can be staggeredly arranged with respect to the second cable management rack 15, thereby increasing the number of PDUs that can be arranged and further enhancing the single-cabinet power supply capacity of the cabinet 1.
[0053] In this embodiment, since the vehicle includes the cabinet described in the above embodiment, the vehicle can implement each process of the cabinet in the above embodiment and has the same beneficial effects. To avoid repetition, it will not be elaborated here.
[0054] The above specific embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations, and substitutions can be made according to design requirements and other factors. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
