Description

Storage cabinet Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of liquid cooling cabinet technology, specifically to a housing cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling Distribution Units (CDUs) are common devices in data centers, computer rooms, or industrial facilities. They are mainly used for the management and distribution of cooling systems. Through precise control of cooling oil flow and pressure, and efficient heat transfer via heat exchangers, CDUs ensure that servers are always in a stable operating temperature environment, guaranteeing the safe and efficient operation of the data center.

[0003] The existing cooling distribution unit is stored in a storage cabinet. The heat dissipation effect of the cooling distribution unit is ensured by the sheet metal cabinet structure, and the durability and maintainability of the cooling distribution unit are improved by wrapping the cooling distribution unit with sheet metal cabinet.

[0004] However, existing cabinets that house cooling distribution units mostly use a single movement method, such as setting up a wheel and axle system at the bottom. This presents problems such as transportation difficulties and high requirements for the usage environment during transportation. Moreover, due to the unavoidable bumps during transportation, liquid may leak from the components of the cooling distribution unit, which could then pollute the site environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This utility model aims to solve one of the technical problems in related technologies to a certain extent. Therefore, this utility model provides a container cabinet with the advantages of diverse transportation methods and wide applicability.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A receiving cabinet includes a frame that surrounds a receiving space for accommodating a cooling distribution unit. The cabinet also includes a suspension unit and a support unit. The suspension unit is disposed at the top of the frame and is used to cooperate with a lifting device to support the frame. The support unit includes a support rod and an oil receiving tray. The support rod is disposed on the bottom side of the frame and forms a support space between itself and the bottom surface of the frame. The support space is used to accommodate a transport device extending into and supporting the receiving cabinet. The support space is located at the bottom of the frame and communicates with the outside of the frame. The oil receiving tray is disposed on the bottom side of the frame and below the receiving space, with a downwardly recessed center. During the transport of the container, lifting devices, such as cranes, can be used to lift the suspension unit, thereby moving the container. Alternatively, transport devices, such as forklifts, can be used to extend into the support space and lift the portion of the transport device extending into the support space, applying an upward force to the frame above the support space to facilitate transport. By incorporating structures adaptable to various transport methods, the options for transporting the container can be increased, expanding its applicability, reducing the requirements of the container's location on transport conditions, and lowering transport costs. Furthermore, an oil drip tray is installed below the container space to collect any liquids that may leak from within the container space during transport, preventing contamination.

[0008] Optionally, the suspension unit includes at least one lifting ring protruding from the frame. The lifting ring is disposed at the top of the frame, and a suspension hole (32) is formed within the lifting ring to accommodate the lifting device passing through. The suspension unit of this application selects the lifting ring as the force-bearing point during lifting. The lifting ring has the advantages of convenient operation and high safety. Simultaneously, the lifting ring has stronger load-bearing capacity and stability, ensuring a more even distribution of the load during lifting, reducing skewing or swinging caused by a lower center of gravity, and ensuring safety during the lifting process.

[0009] Optionally, the number of lifting rings is four, and the lifting rings are located at the top of the frame and symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the frame. Multiple lifting rings can simultaneously support multiple load points, thus distributing the weight and reducing the pressure that a single lifting point may bear, thereby improving the stability and safety of the lifting system. Furthermore, the lifting angle can be adjusted as needed to accommodate objects of different shapes and weights, providing greater flexibility, especially in complex or confined lifting environments.

[0010] Optionally, the support unit includes a support rod, and the support rod and the bottom surface of the support unit surround to form the support space, which is located away from the frame relative to the support rod. The support rod cooperates with the frame to form the support space. Before transportation, the front end of a transportation device, such as a forklift, extends into the support space and lifts it. The front end of the transportation device is in close contact with the ground of the support rod. The contact surface between the front end of the transportation device and the support rod provides upward support to the container, allowing the container to be lifted off the placement surface for transportation, avoiding bumps and damage to the container body during dragging.

[0011] Optionally, the support rod is fixedly connected to the frame, and there are at least two support rods. The two support rods are arranged opposite each other along the length of the receiving cabinet, and there is a gap between the support rod and the bottom of the support unit. Compared with the support rods being arranged along the width of the receiving cabinet, arranging the support rods along the length of the receiving cabinet can increase the contact area with the transport device, distribute the force, prevent the support rods from breaking, and improve the stability and safety during transport. The distance between the support rod and the bottom of the support unit is greater than or equal to the front thickness of the transport device to accommodate the transport device entering.

[0012] Optionally, the support unit further includes a mounting plate and casters. The mounting plate is fixed to the bottom of the support unit and has through holes. The support rod is spaced apart from the mounting plate, and the casters are fixed to the mounting plate and can roll relative to the ground. The mounting plate at the bottom of the support unit provides a fixed fulcrum for the casters, thus providing another transportation method for the container. By installing the casters, the container can be moved, increasing its range of use and transportation options.

[0013] Optionally, the frame includes multiple door units disposed on the side of the frame and forming the accommodating space together with the frame. Each door unit is switchable between an open and closed state. When the door unit is open, the accommodating space is connected to the outside of the frame. The door units achieve communication and closure between the accommodating space and the outside world by switching states.

[0014] Optionally, each door unit includes a door panel, a rotating component, and a fixing component. The rotating component connects the door panel and the frame. The door panel is fixed to the rotating component via the fixing component, which is inserted into the rotating component. This quick-release structure of the door unit facilitates transportation by allowing the fixing component to be removed from the rotating component when disassembly is required.

[0015] Optionally, the frame is provided with a first ventilation hole and a second ventilation hole. The first ventilation hole is closer to the suspension unit than the second ventilation hole. The first and second ventilation holes connect the receiving space and the outside of the frame. The first ventilation hole is near the top of the frame. The first and second ventilation holes facilitate heat exchange between the receiving cabinet and the outside environment. Outside air is drawn in through the second ventilation hole, and heat exchange occurs between the air and the equipment inside the receiving cabinet. The heated air then leaves the receiving space of the receiving cabinet through the first ventilation hole. Overall, this improves the heat dissipation performance of the receiving cabinet.

[0016] Optionally, the frame includes a filter layer located inside the frame and fixed to the second ventilation hole, the filter layer covering the second ventilation hole inside the frame. Since the second ventilation hole is used for air intake into the cabinet, outside air enters through it, making it susceptible to dust entry. The filter layer reduces the dust content in the air entering the cabinet, improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0017] This utility model has the advantages of diverse transportation methods and wide application range.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described are intended to explain this utility model and should not be construed as limiting it.

[0025] The terms "an embodiment," "example," or "trademark" used in this specification refer to a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment itself that may be included in at least one embodiment disclosed in this utility model. The phrase "in an embodiment" appearing in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0026] As shown in Figures 1 and 3, a storage cabinet includes a frame 1, which surrounds a storage space 2 for accommodating a cooling distribution unit. The storage cabinet also includes a suspension unit 3 and a support unit 4. The suspension unit 3 is located at the top of the frame 1 and is used to cooperate with a lifting device to support the frame 1. The support unit 4 includes a support rod 41 and an oil receiving tray 44. The support rod 41 is located on the bottom side of the frame 1 and forms a support space 43 between itself and the bottom surface of the frame 1. The support space 43 is used to accommodate a transport device extending into and supporting the storage cabinet. The support space 43 is located at the bottom of the frame 1 and communicates with the outside of the frame 1. The oil receiving tray 44 is located on the bottom side of the frame 1 and below the storage space 2, with its center recessed downwards. During the transport of the container, lifting devices, such as cranes, can be used to lift the suspension unit 3, thereby moving the container. Alternatively, transport devices, such as forklifts, can be used to extend into the support space 43 and lift the portion of the transport device extending into the support space 43, applying an upward force to the frame 1 above the support space 43 to facilitate transport. By setting up a structure adaptable to multiple transport methods, the options for transporting the container can be increased, expanding the applicability of the container, reducing the requirements of the container's location on transport conditions, and lowering transport costs. Furthermore, an oil receiving tray 44 is located below the container space 2 to collect any liquids that may leak from the container space 2 during transport, preventing contamination.

[0027] The suspension unit 3 includes at least one lifting ring 31, which protrudes from the frame 1. The lifting ring 31 is disposed on the top of the frame 1, and a suspension hole 32 is formed in the lifting ring 31 for accommodating the lifting device to pass through. The suspension unit 3 of this application selects the lifting ring 31 as the force point during lifting. The lifting ring 31 has the advantages of convenient operation and high safety. At the same time, the lifting ring 31 has stronger load-bearing capacity and stability, which can ensure that the load is more evenly distributed during lifting, reduce the tilt or sway caused by the lower center of gravity of the load, and ensure the safety of the lifting process.

[0028] The number of lifting rings 31 is four, and the lifting rings 31 are located at the top of the frame 1 and symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the frame 1. The multiple lifting rings 31 can simultaneously bear multiple load points, thus distributing the weight and reducing the pressure that a single lifting point may bear, thereby improving the stability and safety of the lifting system. Furthermore, the lifting angle can be adjusted as needed to adapt to objects of different shapes and weights, providing greater flexibility, especially in complex or confined lifting environments.

[0029] The support unit 4 includes a support rod 41. The support rod 41 and the bottom surface of the support unit 4 together form the support space 43, which is located away from the frame 1 relative to the support rod 41. The support rod 41 cooperates with the frame 1 to form the support space 43. Before transportation, the front end of a transportation device, such as a forklift, extends into the support space 43 and lifts it. The front end of the transportation device is in close contact with the ground of the support rod 41. The contact surface between the front end of the transportation device and the support rod 41 provides an upward support force to the container, allowing the container to be transported away from the placement surface, avoiding bumps and damage to the container body during dragging.

[0030] The support rod 41 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. There are at least two support rods 41, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the receiving cabinet. A gap exists between the support rod 41 and the bottom of the support unit 4. Compared to the support rods being arranged along the width of the receiving cabinet, arranging the support rods 41 along the length of the receiving cabinet increases the contact area with the transport device, distributes the force, prevents the support rods 41 from breaking, and improves stability and safety during transport. The distance between the support rod 41 and the bottom of the support unit 4 is greater than or equal to the front thickness of the transport device to allow the transport device to enter.

[0031] The support unit 4 also includes a mounting plate 42 and casters. The mounting plate 42 is fixed to the bottom of the support unit 4 and has through holes. The support rod 41 is spaced apart from the mounting plate 42. The casters are fixed to the mounting plate 42 and can roll relative to the ground. The mounting plate 42 is located at the bottom of the support unit 4 to provide a fixed fulcrum for the casters, thus providing another transportation method for the container. By installing the casters, the container can be moved, increasing its range of use and transportation options.

[0032] The frame 1 includes multiple door units 11, which are disposed on the side of the frame 1 and together with the frame 1 form the receiving space 2. The door units 11 can switch between an open state and a closed state. When the door unit 11 is in the open state, the receiving space 2 is connected to the outside of the frame 1. The door units 11 achieve communication and closure between the receiving space 2 and the outside world by switching states.

[0033] As shown in Figure 2, each door unit 11 includes a door panel 111, a rotating component 112, and a fixing component 113. The rotating component 112 connects the door panel 111 and the frame 1. The door panel 111 is fixed to the rotating component 112 by the fixing component 113, which is inserted into the rotating component 112. The fixing component 113 and the rotating component 112 are connected and fixed together. When disassembly is required, the fixing component 113 can be removed from the rotating component 112, achieving a quick-release structure for the door unit 11, facilitating transportation.

[0034] The frame 1 is provided with a first ventilation hole 12 and a second ventilation hole 13. The first ventilation hole 12 is closer to the suspension unit 3 than the second ventilation hole 13. The first ventilation hole 12 and the second ventilation hole 13 connect the receiving space 2 and the outside of the frame 1. The first ventilation hole 12 is closer to the top of the frame 1. The first ventilation hole 12 and the second ventilation hole 13 facilitate heat exchange between the receiving cabinet and the outside environment. Outside air is drawn in through the second ventilation hole 13, and heat exchange occurs between the air and the equipment inside the receiving cabinet. The heated air then leaves the receiving space 2 of the receiving cabinet through the first ventilation hole 12. Overall, this improves the heat dissipation performance of the receiving cabinet.

[0035] The frame 1 includes a filter layer 131 located inside the frame 1 and fixed to the second ventilation hole 13, covering the second ventilation hole 13 inside the frame 1. Since the second ventilation hole 13 is used for air intake into the cabinet, outside air enters through it, making it susceptible to dust entry. The filter layer 131 reduces the dust content in the air entering the cabinet, improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0036] This utility model has the advantages of diverse transportation methods and wide application range.

[0037] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model includes, but is not limited to, the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the specific embodiments above. Any modifications that do not depart from the functional and structural principles of this utility model will be included within the scope of the claims.
