Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cabinet structure and relates to a detachable cabinet column and cabinet. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, server rack designs are often constrained by both structural and functional limitations, especially when handling large components. To ensure the rack's stability and waterproofing, welded uprights are typically used. While this design effectively improves the rack's structural strength and waterproofing, it sacrifices flexibility and removability. Furthermore, due to the fixed nature of the welded uprights, the rack doors are often forced into asymmetrical designs to accommodate their position, which not only affects the rack's aesthetics but also complicates the installation and maintenance of components inside.
[0003] Once installed, welded uprights are difficult to disassemble, severely limiting the flexibility and reconfigurability of server racks. This design is clearly undesirable for racks that require frequent replacement or adjustment of internal components. Due to the presence of welded uprights, rack doors are often designed with one large and one small to accommodate the uprights' positions. The fixed nature of the welded uprights also makes rack maintenance more difficult. For example, if a component inside the rack malfunctions, it may require disassembling the entire rack or performing complex operations for repair. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a detachable cabinet column and cabinet. By designing a detachable column, the cabinet can not only ensure sufficient support strength, but also be easily reconfigured and adjusted as needed to meet different usage scenarios and requirements. The use of sealing foam ensures good waterproof performance. After removing the fixing restrictions of the welded column, the cabinet door can be designed in a symmetrical form, which can improve the aesthetics of the cabinet and also help optimize the layout of internal components and heat dissipation performance.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a detachable cabinet column, including a column body, a bent edge at the bottom of the column body with several mounting holes on the bent edge, a top mounting plate at the top of the column body with several screw holes, sealing foam above the top mounting plate and the column body, and a locking tongue hole in the middle of the column body.
[0007] In one embodiment, the column body is a hollow column formed by two relatively parallel sidewalls and a connecting plate located between the two sidewalls.
[0008] In one embodiment, one side of each of the two sidewall panels is connected to a connecting plate, and the other side is provided with an extension portion that bends inward toward each other, and the extension portions of the two sidewalls are not connected to each other.
[0009] In one embodiment, one end of the mounting plate at the top of the column is connected to the top edge of the connecting plate of the column body.
[0010] In one embodiment, the sealing foam is H-shaped and is provided along the top edge of the two side wall panels, the two sides of the top mounting plate of the column, and the top edge of the connection between the top mounting plate of the column and the connecting plate of the column body.
[0011] In one embodiment, the bent edge includes a rectangular portion and a bent portion perpendicularly connected to the rectangular portion, the bent portion being bent downwards away from the bottom surface of the column body.
[0012] In one embodiment, the first side of the rectangular portion is connected to the bottom edge of the connecting plate of the column body, the second side opposite to the first side is perpendicularly connected to the bent portion, and the two sides located between the first and second sides are respectively connected to the bottom edges of the two sidewall panels.
[0013] In one embodiment, the plurality of mounting holes are vertically arranged on the bent portion.
[0014] In one embodiment, the thickness of the sealing foam is 6-7 mm, and the pressure content of the sealing foam is greater than or equal to 50%.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments of the utility model described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.
[0035] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0036] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a detachable cabinet column is provided. The cabinet column mainly includes a column body 1, a latch hole 2, a mounting hole 3, a bent edge 4, sealing foam 5, screw holes 6, and a top mounting plate 9. The detachable cabinet column can achieve waterproof effect while ensuring the support performance of the column.
[0037] The column body 1 is the main structural component, serving as the support for the entire column.
[0038] The bent edge 4 is located at the bottom of the column body 1, and several mounting holes 3 are opened on the bent edge 4 for fixing the column body 1 to the cabinet by bolts or other fasteners.
[0039] The top mounting plate 9 of the column is set on the top of the column body 1, providing a platform for installing the sealing foam 5 and screw holes 6.
[0040] Screw holes 6 are provided on the top mounting plate 9 of the column, and are used to fix the top mounting plate 9 of the column to the cabinet with screws.
[0041] The sealing foam 5 is installed on the top mounting plate 9 of the column and above the column body 1 to provide sealing and cushioning, and can prevent moisture, dust and other substances from entering. The thickness of the sealing foam 5 is 6~7mm and the pressure content of the sealing foam 5 is greater than or equal to 50%.
[0042] The locking hole 2 is located in the middle of the column body 1 to realize the locking or connection function.
[0043] See Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 , Figure 10 as well as Figure 11 In another embodiment of this utility model, a cabinet is also provided. The cabinet includes a frame, the aforementioned detachable cabinet columns, and door panels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabinet columns. The cabinet columns are connected and fixed to the frame through mounting holes 3 on the bottom bent edge 4 and screw holes 6 on the top mounting plate 9 of the top column.
[0044] The aforementioned door panels are identical door panels arranged symmetrically.
[0045] The installation process for the above-mentioned cabinet uprights is as follows:
[0046] The sealing foam 5, i.e., waterproof foam with adhesive backing, is attached to the top mounting plate 9 of the column body 1 and above the column body 1. The sealing foam 5 is then installed as follows: Figure 5 and Figure 6 The part shown in section 7 at the top of the cabinet column ensures the sealing of the foam padding and prevents water flowing down from the top from seeping into the cabinet through the gaps in the foam.
[0047] The rack uprights are installed from the front of the rack. First, install the top two screws, such as... Figure 6 Two screws are driven into the position of the mounting plate 9 on the top of the cabinet column shown in section 7. After the column is installed in the Z direction, the tightening force of the screws is used to compress the sealing foam 5, i.e., the waterproof foam.
[0048] Install the two screws at the bottom of the rack upright to restrict the Y and X positions of the rack upright.
[0049] In one embodiment, the column body 1 is a hollow columnar body, which is surrounded by two relatively parallel and arranged side wall plates and a connecting plate located between the two side wall plates.
[0050] The cross-section of the column body 1 is U-shaped.
[0051] Furthermore, one side of each of the two sidewall panels is tightly connected to the connecting plate, while the other side extends inward by bending a portion. These extended portions of the two sidewalls face each other but do not connect.
[0052] In other words, the cross-section of the column body 1 is U-shaped, consisting of two relatively parallel sidewalls with one end bent inwards and a connecting plate between the sidewalls. At the open end of the U-shape, each of the two sidewalls bends inwards and extends a non-joining section. These extended sections face each other but do not connect, together forming the open portion of the U-shaped cross-section.
[0053] The two side panels are completely identical, the height of the connecting plate is the same as the height of the two side panels, and the connecting plate is parallel to the two extensions.
[0054] In one embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, one end of the top mounting plate 9 of the column is connected to the top edge of the connecting plate of the column body 1. The length of the top mounting plate 9 extending beyond the column body 1 is 20mm and the width is 50mm, and the area is sufficient for two M6 bolts to fix it.
[0055] See Figure 1 The front view of the detachable rack support column shown and Figure 2 The side view shown shows that the mounting plate 9 at the top of the column extends rearward to facilitate installation.
[0056] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 11 As shown, a sealing foam 5 is provided above the top mounting plate 9 of the column and the column body 1. The overall shape of the sealing foam 5 is H-shaped. The sealing foam 5 is provided along the top edge of the two side wall plates, the two sides of the top mounting plate 9 of the column, and the top edge of the connecting plate between the top mounting plate 9 of the column and the column body 1.
[0057] Several screw holes 6 are made in the area of the mounting plate 9 at the top of the column that is not covered by the sealing foam 5. In the specific implementation, there are 2 screw holes 6.
[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 as well as Figure 10As shown, the bent edge 4 includes a rectangular portion and a bent portion that is perpendicularly connected to the rectangular portion, wherein the bent portion bends downward away from the bottom surface of the column body 1.
[0059] The rectangular portion includes a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, and two sides located between the first side and the second side. The rectangular portion can be regarded as the bottom surface of the column body 1. The first side is connected to the bottom edge of the connecting plate of the column body 1, the second side is perpendicularly connected to the bent portion, the bent portion bends downward, and the two sides are respectively connected to the bottom edges of the two side wall panels.
[0060] The area of the rectangular section is half the cross-section of the column body 1. Specifically, the length of the bent section is 35mm to ensure that two M6 bolts can be installed, and the width of the bent section is less than the width of the rectangular section.
[0061] Several mounting holes 3 are vertically arranged on the bent part. In the actual implementation, there are 2 mounting holes 3.
[0062] In summary, the disassembly column solution proposed in this utility model has the following characteristics: First, the column is designed to be detachable, which facilitates the installation of components inside the cabinet; second, the column has high support strength after installation, ensuring that the cabinet does not deform under pressure; finally, the waterproof effect of the column is achieved through the design of auxiliary materials such as sealing foam 5, while meeting the design requirements of symmetrical cabinet doors for large cabinets, thus improving the appearance of the cabinet and the product competitiveness.
[0063] The above content is only for illustrating the technical concept of this utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications made to the technical solution based on the technical concept proposed in this utility model shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
