Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterproof cabinet technology, and in particular to a cabinet for use underwater. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks are mostly used to store servers. In order to improve the heat dissipation of servers or when they need to be used in control systems for marine research, diving communications or underwater operations, server racks need to be placed underwater.

[0003] Existing server racks are typically sealed with lockable doors. However, locks only seal the side where the door connects to the rack. The other side, as well as the top and bottom, are not tightly sealed, allowing water to easily enter the rack and damage the server, resulting in financial losses. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cabinet for underwater use to solve the technical problems existing in the background art.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0006] A cabinet for underwater use includes: a cabinet body and a cabinet door. The cabinet body has a placement cavity. The cabinet door is rotatably mounted on the cabinet body for opening and closing the placement cavity. A locking assembly is provided on the side of the cabinet door away from the placement cavity. The locking assembly includes: a handle, a mounting plate, and two locking rods. The handle is rotatably mounted on the side of the cabinet door away from the placement cavity. The handle and the mounting plate are integrally formed. The mounting plate is located on the side of the cabinet door near the placement cavity. The locking rods have a driving end and a locking end opposite to the driving end. The two locking rods are pivotally connected to the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate, respectively. The mounting plate has a locking tongue.

[0007] In one embodiment, the locking assembly further includes two locking rollers, each of which is disposed at a locking end of one of the two locking rods.

[0008] In one embodiment, the number of clamping components is three, and the three clamping components are arranged at equal intervals.

[0009] In one embodiment, the top and bottom of the cabinet are respectively provided with a top plate and a bottom plate, the bottom plate has multiple inlet holes, a junction box is provided in the placement cavity, the junction box is connected to the inlet holes, and a waterproof cover is provided on the top surface of the junction box.

[0010] In one embodiment, a resilient waterproof plug is provided inside the inlet hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, a waterproof frame is provided on the end face of the periphery of the opening of the placement cavity.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By providing a cabinet for underwater use, after the cabinet door is rotated to close the cabinet's placement cavity, the mounting plate rotates synchronously when the handle is turned. During this process, the locking tongue follows the rotation of the mounting plate and abuts against the inner wall of the placement cavity. At the same time, the positions of the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate change dynamically with the rotation of the mounting plate. The two locking rods move relative to each other as the positions of the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate change. One locking rod rises while the other descends, so that the locking ends of both locking rods abut against the inner wall of the cabinet. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0019] like Figures 1-3As shown, an underwater cabinet includes a cabinet body 10 and a cabinet door 11. The cabinet body 10 has a placement cavity 101. The cabinet door 11 is rotatably mounted on the cabinet body 10 for opening and closing the placement cavity 101. A locking assembly 20 is provided on the side of the cabinet door 11 away from the placement cavity 101. The locking assembly 20 includes a handle 21, a mounting plate 22, and two locking rods 23. The handle 21 is rotatably mounted on the side of the cabinet door 11 away from the placement cavity 101. The handle 21 and the mounting plate 22 are integrally formed. The mounting plate 22 is located on the side of the cabinet door 11 near the placement cavity 101. The locking rods 23 have a driving end and a locking end opposite to the driving end. The driving ends of the two locking rods 23 are pivotally connected to the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 22, respectively. The mounting plate 22 has a locking tongue 221. It should be noted that the locking tongue 221 is located in the middle of the mounting plate 22, and the mounting plate 22 is T-shaped.

[0020] Specifically, during use, the cabinet door 11 is first rotated to close the placement cavity 101 of the cabinet body 10. At this time, the mounting plate 22, the two locking rods 23, and the locking tongue 221 are all located inside the placement cavity 101. Then, the handle 21 is rotated to drive the mounting plate 22 to rotate synchronously. During this process, the locking tongue 221 follows the rotation of the mounting plate 22 and abuts against the inner wall of the placement cavity 101. At the same time, the positions of the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 22 change dynamically with the rotation of the mounting plate 22. The two locking rods 23 move relative to each other as the positions of the upper and lower ends of the mounting plate 22 change. One locking rod 23 rises while the other locking rod 23 falls, so that the locking ends of the two locking rods 23 abut against the inner wall of the cabinet body 10. In this way, the cabinet door 11 and the cabinet body 10 fit more tightly, which can effectively prevent water from entering the cabinet and ensure that water is isolated outside the cabinet.

[0021] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 20 further includes two locking rollers 24, which are respectively disposed at the locking ends of the two locking rods 23. Specifically, when the two locking rods 23 move relative to each other, the two locking rollers 24 roll along the inner walls of the upper and lower ends of the placement cavity 101, thereby enabling the two locking rods 23 to smoothly abut against the inner walls of the placement cavity 101.

[0022] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are three clamping components 20, which are equidistantly spaced. Specifically, the three clamping components 20 can expand the range of the inner sidewalls at both ends of the placement cavity 101, thereby allowing the cabinet door 11 to fit more tightly with the cabinet body 10, further enhancing the waterproof effect of the cabinet.

[0023] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the top and bottom of the cabinet 10 are respectively provided with a top plate 102 and a bottom plate 106. The bottom plate 106 has multiple cable inlet holes 103. A junction box 104 is provided in the placement cavity 101. The junction box 104 is connected to the cable inlet holes 103. A waterproof cover plate 105 is provided on the top surface of the junction box 104. Specifically, after the cabinet is placed in water, the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 106 can prevent water from entering the placement cavity 101 of the cabinet 10 from the top and bottom of the cabinet 10. However, due to the presence of the cable inlet holes, some water may enter the junction box 104 through the cable inlet holes 103. In order to further improve the waterproof effect, the waterproof cover plate 105 can block the water in the cable inlet box and prevent water from flowing out of the junction box 104 into the installation cavity.

[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 106 are fully welded to the cabinet 10, and the waterproof cover 105 is fully welded to the junction box 104. Specifically, the full welding connection process ensures that the top plate 102 and the bottom plate 106 are fully welded to the cabinet 10, and the junction box 104 is fully welded to the waterproof cover 105, ensuring that there are no gaps between the waterproof layer and the cabinet 10, and between the wiring and the waterproof cover 105, thereby improving the overall waterproof performance of the cabinet.

[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, an elastic waterproof plug 30 is provided inside the inlet hole 103. Specifically, the elastic waterproof plug 30 is made of rubber. The rubber elastic waterproof plug 30 has a certain elasticity, which allows the wire to pass through the waterproof plug easily. Then, the elastic waterproof plug 30 is inserted into the inlet hole 103 to seal the inlet hole 103, thereby reducing the possibility of water entering the inlet hole 103.

[0026] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a waterproof frame 40 is provided on the end face of the periphery of the opening of the placement cavity 101. Specifically, the waterproof frame 40 is made of plastic. When the cabinet door 11 closes the placement cavity 101 of the cabinet body 10, the plastic waterproof frame 40 can fill the gap between the cabinet body 10 and the cabinet door 11, thereby further enhancing the waterproofness of the cabinet.
