Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of network equipment, in particular to a novel network equipment cabinet. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid improvement of living standards, the use of professional network equipment in home decoration is becoming increasingly popular. However, professional network equipment is usually installed in a 19-inch installation specification, which cannot be installed in ordinary household low-voltage cabinets. Traditional floor-standing network cabinets take up a lot of space and are not suitable for places with limited space such as homes. This is especially true for users living in urban areas, where indoor space is relatively limited and housing prices in some cities are too high. Therefore, it is necessary to further improve the space utilization of network equipment cabinets.
[0003] To improve heat dissipation capacity, existing wall-mounted equipment cabinets usually add cooling fans to interact with the outside airflow to achieve rapid heat dissipation. However, they do not consider that during long-term use, dust and debris will accumulate in the area where the cooling fan interacts with the outside world, affecting the fan's ventilation effect. Manual cleaning is required to restore the standard heat dissipation effect, which is not convenient for users. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems of existing wall-mounted equipment cabinets, such as poor heat dissipation performance, the need for regular maintenance, unreasonable internal layout, and inconvenient maintenance, the utility model provides a new network equipment cabinet.
[0005] The utility model adopts the following technical solutions to achieve: a new type of network equipment cabinet, including:
[0006] The cabinet body and the back panel are fixedly engaged with each other to form the cabinet body, and the cabinet body is vertically arranged, and a rear wire inlet is provided in the middle of one side of the back panel, and the rear wire inlet is connected to the inside of the cabinet body. Heat dissipation holes are provided on the top and both sides of the inner wall of the cabinet, and equipment brackets are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cabinet adjacent to the heat dissipation holes. Multiple groups of vertical cable management rings are evenly fixedly connected on both sides of the inner wall of the cabinet, and multiple groups of horizontal cable management rings are evenly fixedly connected in the middle of the inner wall of the back panel. Multiple groups of optical modem brackets are fixedly connected to the back panel below the horizontal cable management rings, and a horizontal cable tie is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner side of the back panel above the horizontal cable management rings. The bottom end of one side of the inner wall of the cabinet is set as the installation position of the optical fiber terminal box, and the outer wall of the back panel is evenly provided with multiple groups of cabinet hanging holes. An active temperature controller and a cooling fan are fixedly connected to one side of the bottom end of the inner wall of the cabinet in sequence, and the active temperature controller is electrically connected to the cooling fan. A bridge interface and multiple groups of wire pipe interfaces are respectively provided in the middle of the bottom end of the cabinet, wherein the installation positions of the active temperature controller and the optical fiber terminal box are not set on the same side.
[0007] It also includes a cleaning mechanism, which is arranged at the bottom end of the cooling fan. A motor is fixedly connected to the cooling fan. Both ends of the motor output shaft are fixedly connected to fan blades and a rotating rod. The fan blades move in the cooling fan. The rotating rod moves at the bottom end of the cabinet. A slider is provided at the outer end of the rotating rod. A cleaning brush is connected to the slider for relative horizontal sliding movement. The bottom end of the cleaning brush abuts against the bottom end of the cabinet.
[0008] Through the above technical solution, the relevant lines and equipment can be installed in the equipment in an orderly manner, which greatly improves the space utilization of the equipment, thereby saving home space for users and improving the utilization of their own home space; it can also improve the heat dissipation capacity of the equipment with the cooperation of the cleaning mechanism and the diffusion mechanism, and improve the user experience, reduce the user's maintenance frequency, and make the user more comfortable.
[0009] As a further improvement of the above solution, the bottom end of the motor output end is symmetrically fixedly connected with a side block, and the side block is plug-connected to the rotating rod.
[0010] As a further improvement of the above solution, a sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the cleaning brush at the matching rotating rod slider, and the sliding groove is plug-connected to the rotating rod.
[0011] The above technical solution facilitates quick disassembly, installation and maintenance of the cleaning mechanism.
[0012] As a further improvement of the above solution, a diffusion mechanism is also included, which includes a guide cavity. The guide cavity is arranged in a trumpet shape with an opening facing downward, and a spring is elastically connected between the guide cavity and the top of the cooling fan.
[0013] Through the above technical solution, the wind can drive the guide cavity vertically upward to adapt to the displacement change, and the guided wind can be used to increase the wind speed.
[0014] As a further improvement of the above solution, a positioning plate is fixedly connected to one side of the guide cavity, rack plates are fixedly connected on both sides of the positioning plate, the two sides of the positioning plate are vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet, and one side of the two sets of rack plates are meshed with gear cross bars.
[0015] Through the above technical solution, the vertical displacement change of the positioning plate can be used to start the diffusion mechanism to unfold.
[0016] As a further improvement of the above scheme, two groups of outer shells are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat dissipation hole, and multiple groups of baffles are evenly rotated and connected inside the two groups of outer shells. The multiple groups of baffles match the heat dissipation holes, and the baffles do not fully cover the heat dissipation holes. One side of the multiple groups of baffles are engaged with a chain.
[0017] Through the above technical solution, the diffusion mechanism can dissipate heat by itself in the space exposed by the heat dissipation holes when it is not started, and can increase the space for interaction with the outside world when the diffusion mechanism is started, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0019] (1) Good heat dissipation performance: Through the design of active temperature-controlled cooling fans and ventilation holes, the principle of rising hot air and good sealing can be used to form positive pressure inside the cabinet when the fan is running, and the hot air on the top of the cabinet is ejected outward, which can effectively improve the heat dissipation performance of the cabinet and ensure the stable operation of the internal equipment.
[0020] (2) Convenient Installation: Vertical equipment installation significantly improves space utilization, achieving a smaller footprint than traditional network equipment. Installers and commissioners can pre-install and commission equipment at the company and bring it to the construction site in a trunk for wiring. The wall-mounted design fully utilizes wall space, eliminating the need for floor-standing and ground-level wiring to occupy a large area.
[0021] (3) Reasonable internal space layout: The design of partitions and cable management slots makes the internal space layout of the cabinet more reasonable, facilitating the installation and maintenance of equipment, and sets up an independent area for the equipment (optical modem) of the communication operator, which is no longer mixed with all network equipment.
[0022] (4) Strong scalability: Sufficient expansion space is reserved, and users can accommodate their purchased home network storage devices (NAS) or other non-rack-mounted network devices (such as various boxes or smart home hosts), and the power supply and distribution part has enough capacity to eliminate the need to connect multiple power strips in series like ordinary low-voltage boxes.
[0023] (5) Easy maintenance: Conventional network routers, switches and other equipment do not need to be disassembled, but for example, network hard disk recorders need to open the shell to add or replace the hard disk, and if a telecommunications network equipment fails, it also needs to be repaired by telecommunications installation and maintenance personnel. The utility model reserves a special operation area for telecommunications installation and maintenance personnel, and can also realize direct maintenance and repair of monitoring hard disk recorders without disassembly.
[0024] (6) Small space occupation: Traditional network cabinets are divided into front and back doors. The front door is used for daily plug-in and unplug operations, and the back door is used for connecting the power switch and power cord behind the equipment, as well as for cable routing. Daily operations are performed at the front door. Inspection and maintenance are difficult to move the cabinet due to cable restrictions. Therefore, the back door is required to leave space for at least one person to operate. The cabinet body (0.6*0.6=0.36m 2)+front door operation space 0.36㎡+back door operation space 0.36㎡=cabinet occupies at least 1.08㎡. The network cabinet designed by the utility model does not occupy the ground area. The ground projection area is about 0.1608㎡. No back operation space is required. All operations are performed on the front, that is, 0.1608+0.36=0.5208㎡, which is about 48.22% of the actual floor area of the traditional network cabinet, less than half. Moreover, due to the wall-mounted cabinets, other furniture or items can still be placed under them, which means that no ground area is occupied. It is particularly suitable for scenes with strict space requirements such as homes.
[0025] (7) The present invention utilizes a cleaning mechanism that can be quickly disassembled and assembled, which can quickly clean the connecting port at the bottom of the cabinet when the equipment is performing heat dissipation operations, and can effectively ensure the circulation of air at the bottom of the equipment, ensuring that the equipment can maintain a good heat dissipation effect.
[0026] (8) The utility model utilizes the cooperation of the cleaning mechanism and the diffusion mechanism to simultaneously expand the heat dissipation holes and the external ventilation apertures when heat dissipation operations are required, and guides and discharges the rising air flow, thereby greatly improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment.

[0046] Example 2:
[0047] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 8 and Figure 9 Based on Example 1, this embodiment has the following further improvements:
[0048] The cleaning mechanism is arranged at the bottom end of the cooling fan 5. A motor 23 is fixedly connected to the cooling fan 5. The two ends of the output shaft of the motor 23 are respectively fixedly connected with fan blades 24 and a rotating rod 25. The fan blades 24 move in the cooling fan 5. The rotating rod 25 moves at the bottom end of the cabinet 1. A slider is provided at the outer end of the rotating rod 25. A cleaning brush 26 is connected to the slider for relative horizontal sliding. The bottom end of the cleaning brush 26 abuts against the bottom end of the cabinet 1.
[0049] The bottom end of the output end of the motor 23 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a side block, and the side block is plug-connected with the rotating rod 25.
[0050] A sliding groove is provided on the inner side of the cleaning brush 26 where it matches the slider of the rotating rod 25, and the sliding groove is plug-connected with the rotating rod 25.
[0051] The implementation principle of this embodiment is:
[0052] The circular ring at the rotating rod 25 is connected to the bottom end of the output shaft and the plug-in installation of the cleaning brush 26 is completed. Then, when the temperature monitored by the active thermostat 4 exceeds the set threshold, the cooling fan 5 will be started for heat dissipation. As the motor 23 in the cooling fan 5 is started, the cleaning brush 26 at the bottom will rotate and clean the vent at the bottom end of the cabinet 1, so that the air dust and the like interacting here can be cleaned so that they can adhere to the cleaning brush 26. Moreover, since the cleaning brush 26 is plug-in connected to the rotating rod 25, it is convenient to disassemble, clean and maintain the cleaning brush 26. Compared with regular manual maintenance, this solution will be more convenient and greatly reduce the maintenance frequency of the user.
[0053] Example 3:
[0054] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 9 Based on Example 1 and Example 2, this embodiment has the following further improvements:
[0055] The heat dissipation fan 5 further comprises a diffusion mechanism, which comprises a guide cavity 21 . The guide cavity 21 is horn-shaped with an opening facing downward, and a spring 22 is elastically connected between the guide cavity 21 and the top of the heat dissipation fan 5 .
[0056] A positioning plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide cavity 21, and rack plates 19 are fixedly connected to both sides of the positioning plate 20. Both sides of the positioning plate 20 are vertically slidably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1, and one side of the two sets of rack plates 19 are meshed with a gear cross bar 18.
[0057] Two sets of outer shells 15 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the inner side of the heat dissipation hole 14, and multiple sets of baffles 16 are evenly rotated and connected inside the two sets of outer shells 15. The multiple sets of baffles 16 match the heat dissipation holes 14, and the baffles 16 do not fully cover the heat dissipation holes 14. One side of the multiple sets of baffles 16 is engaged with a chain 17.
[0058] The implementation principle of this embodiment is:
[0059] As the cooling fan 5 is started, the wind force generated by the rotation of the fan blades 24 will rise vertically inward and eventually be discharged at the heat dissipation holes 14 at the top and on both sides. The wind force in the middle can be guided by the guide cavity 21 and push the guide cavity 21 to rise vertically. As the guide cavity 21 moves vertically upward and pushes the rack plate 19 to engage with the gear crossbar 18, multiple sets of baffles 16 will rotate about the center of the circle on both sides of themselves, so that more of the heat dissipation holes 14 can be exposed, thereby facilitating the interaction between the internal airflow and the external airflow, effectively improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment.
[0060] The above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and replacements made by technicians in this field on the basis of the present invention fall within the scope of protection required by the present invention.
