[0022] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the protection scheme of the present invention.

[0023] Server rack frames are typically made by bending and welding steel plates, which makes it difficult to guarantee dimensional accuracy and consistency. After welding, the frame cannot be disassembled or adjusted. The racks are generally large after assembly, making transportation difficult. The panels and brackets of these racks only have one mounting method, mostly using 19-inch standard mounting holes, making it inconvenient to adjust for special needs, resulting in poor usability and high manufacturing costs. Some racks use pure aluminum profiles, but to improve rack strength and maintain a good shape during frame assembly, cast connectors are needed for the eight legs, further increasing costs.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model simplifies cabinet installation through a combination of profiles and sheet metal. Only eight corner screws are needed to form a robust main frame. Simultaneously, the specially cross-section vertical profile columns retain the multi-faceted sliding groove structure of European standard industrial aluminum profiles, and incorporate a special structural design for easy installation of side and rear doors. This allows the entire cabinet to combine the advantages of convenient connection and expansion of aluminum profile sliding groove structures with an overall structure that conforms to the aesthetic standards of industrial electronics. The sheet metal and profile combination method is cost-effective, aesthetically pleasing, and more flexible in use. The assembly-type structure allows for modular disassembly, facilitating transportation and reducing costs. The profile structure column cabinet offers high load-bearing capacity and high precision. The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 An exploded view of a cabinet based on a combination of European standard aluminum profiles and sheet metal, provided for an embodiment of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a cross-sectional view of the vertical profile column described in this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model provides a cabinet based on the combination of European standard aluminum profiles and sheet metal. The main frame of the cabinet is composed of a sheet metal bottom frame, a sheet metal top frame, and vertical profile columns.

[0026] The vertical profile column is made of aluminum profile extrusion molding process. Both ends can be directly tapped to M12. Two bolts are set at one end. For heavy use, two bolts are installed for connection. For light use, one bolt is used for connection. The profile has 5 European standard sliding grooves and 2 slots. Standard sliding nuts can be placed in the sliding grooves, and the slots can be used as door lock hanging points.

[0027] The sheet metal base frame is connected to the lower end of the vertical profile column, and casters and support feet can be installed at the bottom as needed.

[0028] The sheet metal top frame is connected to the upper end of the vertical profile column, and the top can be equipped with a fan for ventilation and heat dissipation as needed.

[0029] The front and rear mounting strips are fixed to the European standard sliding grooves of the vertical profile column using screws and T-nuts. The front and rear mounting strips have standard mounting holes for fixing the equipment panel.

[0030] The side mounting strip is fixed to the European standard sliding groove of the vertical profile column using screws and T-nuts. The side mounting strip has standard mounting holes for installing brackets and shelves required for equipment mounting.

[0031] Optional, the cabinet includes:

[0032] The decorative top cover is fixed to the main frame of the cabinet by supporting bolts and lifting rings. Different shapes of decorative top covers can be made according to customer needs.

[0033] The two side doors are respectively inserted into both sides of the main frame of the cabinet and secured with locks. The rear door is a rotating door panel, secured with a pin-type hinge and a lock.

[0034] The front door panel is a rotating door panel, secured with pin-type hinges and a door lock.

[0035] like Figure 2 The figure shown is a cross-sectional view of the vertical profile column of this utility model. The special cross-section makes it easier to assemble the cabinet and more convenient to use and expand. The profile cross-section has 5 European standard profile grooves, 2 end connection holes and 2 card slots.

[0036] The five European standard profile slides adopt a standard slide structure, and the accessories are readily available on the market, so no customization is required to meet the needs. The standard slide structure has strong scalability, and each slide can achieve the corresponding function by installing different sheet metal parts. Slide 01 is used for the front panel mounting strip for mounting equipment on the rack. Slide 02 is used for the L-shaped bracket or tray for mounting equipment on the rack. Slide 03 is used as a positioning strip when using L-shaped brackets or trays for positioning. Slides 04 and 05 are spare slides that can be used for mounting and fixing external rack components, such as monitor brackets.

[0037] Two slot structures, 06 and 07, are used to fix the lock plates of the side door lock and the front and rear door locks, respectively.

[0038] The two end connection holes 08 and 09 are used for the vertical connection of the vertical profile columns and the sheet metal bottom frame to the sheet metal top frame. The design of the two holes can meet both light and heavy-duty use. When the cabinet load is small, only one hole needs to be connected, and when the cabinet load is large, two holes can be connected. This can reduce installation time while meeting the usage requirements.

[0039] Sides A and B are the exposed surfaces of the cabinet uprights, side C is used for side door installation, and side D is used for front and rear door installation.

[0040] This new design retains the multi-faceted sliding groove structure of European standard industrial aluminum profiles, and adds a special structural design for easy installation of side panels and rear doors. This allows the entire cabinet to combine the advantages of convenient connection and expansion of the aluminum profile sliding groove structure with an overall structure that conforms to the aesthetic standards of industrial electronics. The combination of sheet metal and profiles results in low cost, a good appearance, and greater flexibility in use. The modular assembly structure facilitates transportation and reduces costs. The profile structure columns provide the cabinet with high load-bearing capacity and high precision.
