Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of server rack technology, and more particularly to a server rack with a patch panel. Background Technology
[0002] In data centers, control rooms, server rooms, and other similar settings, server racks are used to store various electronic devices and servers. As the number of devices increases, the number of wires inside the rack also increases, leading to a messy cable situation that not only affects aesthetics but also makes equipment maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting difficult.
[0003] Existing server racks often lack effective cable management features, requiring staff to spend a significant amount of time organizing and maintaining cables, increasing workload and the likelihood of errors. Utility Model Content
[0004] The problem this application aims to solve is that existing server racks, due to the lack of cable management structures, result in messy cable arrangements inside, which hinders subsequent equipment maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting.
[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a cabinet with a patch panel, comprising a cabinet body, a rack, and electrical components. The cabinet body contains a storage assembly. The storage assembly includes a slot frame and fasteners. The slot frame is an upward-opening U-shaped structure with inwardly contracting slots on both sides of the opening. Ventilation and heat dissipation slots are evenly distributed on both sides of the slot frame. The fasteners include a U-shaped locking strip, a stop strip slidably connected to one end of the locking strip, a spring sleeved on the locking strip, and a nut threaded to the end of the locking strip. The closed end of the locking strip is fastened to a slot on one side of the slot frame, and the stop strip is detachably locked to the other slot by the preload of the spring.
[0006] Furthermore, the retaining strip has a U-shaped structure with an opening on one side, and the nut is used to adjust the preload of the spring.
[0007] Furthermore, fans for heat dissipation are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabinet.
[0008] Furthermore, the front of the cabinet is equipped with a side-opening and closing door.
[0009] Because the cabinet of this application is designed with storage components, the internal wires can be centrally stored through the storage components. This solves the problem that in the use of existing cabinets, the lack of a wire storage structure leads to messy cable arrangement inside, which causes trouble for subsequent equipment maintenance, upgrades and troubleshooting.

[0017] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. Example
[0018] This application relates to a cabinet with a patch panel, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, the cabinet includes a cabinet body 1 for basic housing, a rack 3 for supporting the cabinet body 1 from the ground at the bottom, a cabinet door 2 that can be opened and closed by tilting at the front of the cabinet body 1, and various electrical components arranged in sequence inside the cabinet body 1. Since the electrical components all need to be connected by wires, in order to facilitate the cable storage, storage components 5 for centralized storage of wires are evenly arranged inside the cabinet body 1. In order to facilitate the ventilation and heat dissipation of the cabinet, fans 4 for heat dissipation are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cabinet.
[0019] The storage component 5 includes a cable tray 6 and fasteners 7. The cable tray 6 is evenly arranged inside the cabinet 1. The cable tray 6 is a U-shaped structure with an upward opening to accommodate cables. Since the wires generate heat during transmission, in order to prevent overheating and fire due to poor heat dissipation after the cables are concentrated, slots 9 for ventilation and heat dissipation are evenly arranged on both sides of the cable tray 6. In order to limit and constrain the stored cables, the upward opening of the cable tray 6 has an inwardly contracting slot 8 structure. In order to further enhance the cable storage and constraint, fasteners 7 are added at the location of the slot 8. The fasteners 7 and the slot 8 form a firm mechanical connection, so that the cables can be forcibly constrained inside the cable tray 6.
[0020] The fastener 7 includes a retaining strip 10, a stop strip 11, a spring 12, and a nut 13. The retaining strip 10 has a U-shaped structure with one side open, so that it can be inserted into the slot 9 of the slot frame 6. One end of the retaining strip 10 is provided with a stop strip 11 that is slidably connected to it. With the help of the stop strip 11, the retaining strip 10 is placed horizontally in the slot 8. In order to realize the self-locking operation of the fastener 7, one end of the retaining strip 10 is provided with a nut 13 that is detachably connected to it. A spring 12 is arranged between the nut 13 and the stop strip 11 and is sleeved with the retaining strip 10. With the help of the elastic pre-tightening effect of the spring 12, the stop strip 11 can form an elastic abutment with the retaining strip 10, so that the fastener 7 can be stably placed in the slot 8 of the slot frame 6.
[0021] In use, first thread the electrical component’s wires into the slot 6. Since the arrangement of each electrical component and the length of the wires are different, they can be threaded into the slot 6 through the slots 9 on both sides of the slot 6 based on the principle of proximity. Then, fasten the closed end of the retaining strip 10 with the retaining groove 8 on one side of the slot 6. Then, by pulling the stop strip 11, the spring 12 is compressed between the stop strip 11 and the nut 13, so that the stop strip 11 is placed in the retaining groove 8 on the other side of the slot 6. Then, release the stop strip 11, and the retaining strip 10 can be pushed into the retaining groove 8 with the help of the spring 12. This allows the fastener 7 to form a convenient and firm limiting constraint structure with the slot 6, so that the wires can be conveniently and stably constrained inside the slot 6.

For example, at least in part by context, the term "one or more" as used in the text can be used to describe any feature, structure, or characteristic of the singular meaning, or a combination of features, structures, or characteristics of the plural meaning. Similarly, at least in part by context, terms such as "a" or "the" can also be understood to convey either singular or plural usage.
[0023] It should be readily understood that the terms “on,” “above,” and “on top of” in this disclosure should be interpreted in the broadest possible sense, such that “on” means not only “directly on something” but also “on something” with an intermediate feature or layer therebetween, and that “above” or “on top of” means not only “on top of something” but also “on top of something” without an intermediate feature or layer therebetween (i.e., directly on something).
[0024] Furthermore, for ease of explanation, spatially relative terms such as "below," "below," "under," "above," and "above" may be used to describe the relationship of one element or feature relative to other elements or features as shown in the figures.
