AI Technical Summary
The existing data center cabinet depth of 1200mm cannot meet the installation requirements of some equipment, resulting in insufficient equipment installation depth, affecting wiring and maintenance. In addition, standard cabinets cannot effectively utilize external installation structures, resulting in space waste and insufficient load-bearing capacity.
A cabinet external mounting structure is designed, including a mounting frame, an external mounting plate and an extension frame. By installing the external mounting plate and the extension frame on the side of the cabinet, the cabinet depth is increased and the wiring space is optimized to meet the installation requirements of liquid-cooled servers.
Without changing the standard cabinet, the installation space for PDU and liquid-cooled servers is increased, the server installation depth is optimized, the modification cost is reduced, the stability and airflow organization of the cabinet are enhanced, and the installation efficiency of the equipment is improved.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of data center cabinet equipment, in particular to a cabinet external mounting structure. Background Art
[0002] The 1200mm cabinet depth commonly used in data centers can no longer meet the needs of some business sides. The maximum effective installation depth of equipment in a 1200mm deep cabinet is only about 800mm. The front column is 150mm, the equipment installation depth is 800mm, and the rear column is 250mm. The GPU equipment installation depth is about 1000mm. After the equipment is installed, it will occupy the 250mm wiring area of the rear column, which will cause collisions and affect the wiring and equipment maintenance in the cabinet.
[0003] Liquid-cooled servers are the future trend in computing data centers. Standard 1200mm-deep cabinets are compatible with the installation depth of liquid-cooled servers and the installation of liquid-cooled cold plates. Based on these issues and field usage scenarios, we developed a cabinet external frame to ensure that standard cabinets can adapt to data center development.
[0004] Most existing cabinets are too deep to accommodate the installation of IT equipment such as servers and switches, as well as PDUs. External mounting structures cannot be effectively utilized, and the installation of additional IT equipment and PDUs wastes space. Furthermore, adding cabinets increases the load-bearing capacity of external equipment, resulting in low practicality. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention aims to provide a cabinet external mounting structure to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A cabinet external mounting structure includes a mounting frame mounted on a side of the cabinet, and further includes:
[0008] An external mounting plate, the external mounting plate being arranged in the mounting frame, with one side of the external mounting plate fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame, and the other side of the external mounting plate fixedly connected to the side of the cabinet;
[0009] The extension frame is arranged on the side of the cabinet, the extension frame is fixedly connected to the cabinet, and the extension frame is fixedly connected to the installation frame.
[0010] As a further solution of the present invention, the external mounting plates are provided in multiple groups, the multiple groups of external mounting plates are arranged in parallel, and the multiple groups of external mounting plates are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame.
[0011] As a further solution of the present invention, a PDU is provided in the external mounting plate, the mounting frame and the extension frame.
[0012] As a further solution of the present invention, a hole is provided in the external mounting plate, and the hole passes through the external mounting plate.
[0013] As a further solution of the present invention, the extension frame is aligned with the side of the cabinet through the mounting holes.
[0014] In summary, the embodiments of the present invention have the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
[0015] Cabinet external frame: 1. Installation: Use the existing standard cabinet door frame holes to stabilize and reduce the development of standard cabinet models.
[0016] 2. Flexible use of space: Without changing the standard cabinet, the PDU is installed on the external frame, and the 250mm space for installing the PDU on the rear column of the original cabinet is reserved for GPU and liquid-cooled server equipment, which optimizes the server installation space and reduces the investment cost of the transformation.
[0017] 3. Cabinet combination: Install an external frame between the two cabinets to make the cabinets more stable and enhance the seismic strength of the cabinet rows and channels.
[0018] 4. The cabinet external frame is installed on the side columns on both sides of the cabinet. Compared with the 1400mm cabinet, the width of the closed passage is increased and the airflow organization structure is optimized.
[0019] In order to more clearly illustrate the structural features and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
