Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of professional data center technology, and in particular to a visual server rack and data center. Background Technology

[0002] Computer rooms are crucial for information transmission and processing. Urban rail transit ground and underground station integrated monitoring systems, signaling systems, and communication systems are all housed in dedicated computer rooms. During construction and operation and maintenance, these dedicated computer rooms inevitably require extensive recording and manual inspections. However, with numerous server racks and cables within the computer room, staff cannot readily and intuitively monitor equipment status and wiring conditions in real time. For equipment and cables installed in sheet metal racks, heat dissipation requirements are high, and potential problems cannot be detected immediately. During inspections, each rack needs to be opened individually, along with adequate lighting, resulting in low maintenance and troubleshooting efficiency and high energy consumption. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing systems, such as the inability of staff in professional computer rooms to have real-time and intuitive control over equipment and lines, low efficiency in maintenance and troubleshooting, and high energy consumption. This invention provides a visual cabinet and computer room.

[0004] In a first aspect, this utility model provides a visual cabinet, comprising:

[0005] A base and a frame, wherein the frame is connected to the base, the frame is a frame structure, and the frame includes several columns and crossbeams;

[0006] A panel assembly includes a door panel and multiple side panels, the door panel being hinged to the frame, the side panels being detachably connected to the frame, and both the door panel and the side panels being transparent panels.

[0007] This utility model discloses a visual cabinet, which sets all panel components, including the door panel and side panel, as an integral transparent material panel. This allows staff to intuitively grasp the status of the equipment, wiring, and heat dissipation inside the cabinet, facilitating quick fault identification and resolution, significantly improving maintenance and troubleshooting efficiency. Furthermore, external light can directly enter the cabinet, which helps to make full use of the indoor lighting fixtures, reducing the need for internal lighting equipment, lowering cabinet manufacturing and usage costs, and reducing energy consumption.

[0008] Preferably, the transparent material panel includes a PC board. The PC board has sufficient transparency and strength to meet the requirements of the cabinet, and has good thermal insulation performance, which can reduce the air conditioning usage rate in the cabinet, further reducing overall energy consumption. It is also recyclable, reducing resource waste.

[0009] Preferably, a detachable device mounting bracket is connected to the base, with a gap between the device mounting bracket and the panel assembly. The device mounting bracket has several mounting holes. This allows the device to be connected and mounted on the device mounting bracket, and the gap facilitates heat dissipation, improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment inside the cabinet.

[0010] Preferably, the panel assembly is provided with a ventilation opening, which is connected to an exhaust mechanism. The exhaust mechanism communicates with the gap space and includes a limiting frame and an exhaust module. The limiting frame is connected to the base. This allows the exhaust mechanism to further improve the heat dissipation effect inside the cabinet, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.

[0011] Preferably, the ventilation opening is located on the side panel below the door panel, and the top of the rack is provided with a grille top plate. The ventilation opening communicates with the grille top plate through the gap space, and the grille top plate is a transparent material panel. By placing the exhaust module near the bottom of the rack, the heat dissipation airflow flows upward along the bottom of the rack and is discharged from the grille top plate, forming a chimney effect and improving the rack's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0012] Preferably, several of the bases are arranged abutting each other, and each base is respectively provided with the frame to form multiple installation spaces, with adjacent installation spaces being laterally connected.

[0013] Preferably, the base is a long strip-shaped structure, and several racks are arranged on the base to form multiple installation spaces, with adjacent installation spaces being laterally connected.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the racks arranged in rows is provided with a longitudinally continuous upper cable tray, which includes a mesh cable tray. This reduces the obstruction of airflow by the upper cable tray, improves the overall heat dissipation of the rack, helps to reduce the temperature of the equipment inside the rack, extends the equipment life, and improves the overall performance stability.

[0015] Preferably, when the base has two or more rows, the two ends of the upper cable trays in adjacent rows are connected through end cable trays, and at least one end cable tray connects to the inlet and outlet cable trays. This provides a clear cable laying path, facilitates neat cable laying, reduces cable crossing and clutter, improves space utilization, allows maintenance personnel to quickly identify and locate problems, accelerates troubleshooting efficiency, and improves the operating efficiency and safety of equipment within the cabinet.

[0016] A visualization server room includes several visualization cabinets as described above, wherein the upper cable tray is connected to the top of the server room via a hanger.

[0017] This utility model provides a visualized computer room, which adopts the aforementioned visualized cabinet. This design offers high efficiency in maintenance and troubleshooting, and allows light from inside the computer room to directly enter the cabinet, thus facilitating full utilization of indoor lighting, reducing operating costs, and lowering energy consumption.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model provides a visual cabinet, which sets all panel components, including the door panel and side panel, as transparent material panels, so that staff can intuitively grasp the status of equipment, wiring and heat dissipation in the cabinet, which facilitates quick identification and resolution of faults and greatly improves the efficiency of maintenance and troubleshooting.

[0020] 2. This utility model provides a visual cabinet that allows external light to directly enter the cabinet, which helps to make full use of the indoor lighting fixtures where the cabinet is located, reduces the need for lighting equipment inside the cabinet, reduces the cost of cabinet manufacturing and use, and lowers energy consumption;

[0021] 3. The utility model provides a visualized data center. By adopting the above-mentioned visualized cabinet, the efficiency of maintenance and troubleshooting is higher, and the light in the data center can directly enter the cabinet, which is conducive to making full use of the indoor lighting, reducing the operating cost of the data center, and reducing energy consumption.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] like Figures 1-5 As shown, a visual cabinet includes a base 1, a rack 2, and a panel assembly. The rack 2 is connected to the base 1 and is a frame structure. The rack 2 includes several uprights 21 and crossbeams 22. The panel assembly includes a door panel 3 and multiple side panels 4. The door panel 3 is hinged to the rack 2, and the side panels 4 are detachably connected to the rack 2. Both the door panel 3 and the side panels 4 are transparent panels, specifically PC boards.

[0038] In an optional implementation, the cabinet is cubic in shape, with hinged door panels 3 on one or more sides. The door panels 3 and the side panels 4 other than the door panels 3 are all integral PC boards, making the cabinet shell transparent as a whole.

[0039] In one or more embodiments, a device mounting bracket 5 is detachably connected to the base 1, a gap space is provided between the device mounting bracket 5 and the panel assembly, and the device mounting bracket 5 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the base 1, the frame 2, and the equipment mounting bracket 5 all have rectangular cross-sections. The equipment is detachably connected to the mounting holes by bolts or other fasteners. The equipment is installed in multiple layers at intervals within the cabinet. A gap space is formed between the equipment mounting bracket 5 and the panel assembly. The spaces between adjacent equipment are connected to the gap space, which is conducive to the airflow within the cabinet and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment.

[0041] In one or more embodiments, the panel assembly is provided with a vent 41, the vent 41 is connected to an exhaust mechanism 6, the exhaust mechanism 6 is in communication with the gap space, the exhaust mechanism 6 includes a limiting frame 61 and an exhaust module 62, and the limiting frame 61 is connected to the base 1.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the limiting frame 61 may be a square frame structure connected to the base 1, and the exhaust module 62 may be a high-pressure exhaust module 62 that can be controlled by a PLC to deliver air into the cabinet.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, the ventilation opening 41 is located on the side panel 4 below the door panel 3, and the top of the frame 2 is provided with a grille top plate 7. The ventilation opening 41 is connected to the grille top plate 7 through a gap space, and the grille top plate 7 is a transparent material panel.

[0044] Specifically, on the side of the cabinet where the through-hole is required, a certain width is reserved below the door panel 3 to install a small side panel 4 for installing the exhaust mechanism 6. The exhaust module 62 is positioned near the bottom of the cabinet and near the door panel 3. When the cabinet is in normal use, the cooling airflow input by the exhaust module 62 flows upward along the bottom of the cabinet and is discharged from the top grille 7, forming a chimney effect, which improves the cooling efficiency of the cabinet. At the same time, during the opening and closing of the cabinet door, it can further accelerate the airflow exchange between the inside and outside of the cabinet, further improving the cooling efficiency and reducing energy consumption.

[0049] This embodiment of a visualization cabinet uses transparent materials for all panel components, including the door panel 3 and the side panel 4. This allows staff to intuitively understand the status of the equipment, wiring, and heat dissipation within the cabinet, facilitating quick fault identification and resolution. This significantly improves maintenance and troubleshooting efficiency. Furthermore, external light can directly enter the cabinet, making full use of the indoor lighting fixtures and reducing the need for internal lighting equipment. This reduces cabinet manufacturing and usage costs and lowers energy consumption.

[0051] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a visualization server room includes several visualization cabinets as described in Embodiment 1, with the upper cable tray 8 connected to the top of the server room via a hanger 9.

[0052] This embodiment of a visualization server room uses the aforementioned visualization cabinet, which has high efficiency in maintenance and troubleshooting. Furthermore, the upper cable tray 8 is installed by hanging, allowing light from inside the server room to directly enter the cabinet. This facilitates full utilization of indoor lighting, reduces server room operating costs, and lowers energy consumption.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model.
