Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server rack technology, and in particular to a network server rack with a transparent door. Background Technology

[0002] Network cabinets are frequently used in computer rooms and similar facilities. As shelves supporting servers and switches, they provide a suitable environment and security for the normal operation of electronic equipment. For example, patent number 202321153882.6, published on October 20, 2023, entitled "Cabinet Frame and Cabinet," discloses a type of cabinet. However, existing cabinets generally include a door for opening and closing. This method, however, means that when the cabinet is closed, staff can only observe the interior by opening the door, which is inconvenient.

[0003] Therefore, there is a need for a network cabinet with a transparent door that allows the interior of the cabinet to be observed without opening the door. Utility Model Content

[0028] The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are schematic diagrams, not actual images. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of this patent. To better illustrate the embodiments of this utility model, some components in the drawings may be omitted, enlarged, or reduced, and do not represent the actual dimensions of the product. It is understandable to those skilled in the art that some well-known structures and their descriptions may be omitted in the drawings.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a network cabinet with a transparent door. Some specific embodiments are described below. A network cabinet with a transparent door includes: a cabinet body 1 with front and rear openings, a front door panel 2 installed on the front side of the cabinet body 1, and a rear door panel 3 installed on the rear side of the cabinet body 1. That is, the cabinet body 1 has two door panels, front and rear. A frame 11 is installed inside the cabinet body 1 for placing electrical components. More specifically, the front door panel 2 includes a ventilation panel 201 and a transparent panel 202, allowing staff to observe the interior of the cabinet body 1 through the transparent panel 202 from the front side. Furthermore, the presence of the ventilation panel 201 improves the ventilation of the front door panel 2, reducing the temperature inside the cabinet body 1.

[0030] In some specific embodiments, there are two breathable panels 201, which are fixed on both sides of the transparent panel 202 respectively, forming a front door panel 2 with the transparent panel 202 in the middle and the breathable panels 201 on both sides.

[0031] In addition, in some specific embodiments, the rear door panel 3 is made of stainless steel, and a ventilation window 301 is provided on the rear door panel 3. The ventilation window 301 and the ventilation plate 201 on the front door panel 2 can form front-to-back air convection, accelerate the air flow speed, and further reduce the temperature inside the cabinet 1.

[0032] Multiple fans 4 are installed above the cabinet 1. In this specific embodiment, there are four fans 4. When the fans 4 rotate, exhaust air from inside the cabinet 1 to the outside of the cabinet 1. Since the hot air inside the cabinet 1 rises, the top of the cabinet 1 accumulates the most heat. The hot air is exhausted by the exhaust of the fans 4, and the cold air outside is replenished from the ventilation window 301 and the ventilation plate 201, which can quickly reduce the temperature inside the cabinet 1.

[0033] Multiple casters 5 are installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1. In this specific embodiment, four casters 5 are installed at the bottom of the cabinet 1, located at the four corners of the bottom of the cabinet 1, making the cabinet 1 more stable. Each caster 5 is also equipped with a brake function. When the cabinet 1 moves to the required position, the brake function on the caster 5 is used to fix the position of the cabinet 1.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, more specifically, the ventilated panel 201 is a honeycomb perforated panel with multiple through holes to improve air permeability, and the transparent panel 202 is made of glass or acrylic. To facilitate the connection and fixation of the ventilated panel 201 and the transparent panel 202, a four-sided frame can be used to form the frame of the front door panel 2, with the transparent panel 202 fixed in the middle and the ventilated panel 201 fixed on both sides. This improves the strength of the front door panel 2 and facilitates hinged connection to the front of the cabinet 1 for opening and closing.

[0035] In other specific embodiments, a temperature sensor 6 and a controller 7 are installed inside the upper side of the cabinet 1. The controller 7 is electrically connected to the fan 4 and the temperature sensor 6. The controller 7, fan 4, and temperature sensor 6 are powered by an external power supply or a built-in battery. A desired temperature is set on the controller 7. When the temperature signal transmitted by the temperature sensor 6 reaches the desired temperature, the controller 7 turns on the fan 4 to exhaust air. When the temperature signal transmitted by the temperature sensor 6 falls below the desired temperature, the controller 7 turns off the fan 4. The controller 7 controlling the fan 4's on / off state by sensing temperature through the temperature sensor 6 is a conventional technique used by those skilled in the art and will not be elaborated further here.

[0036] In some other embodiments, a display screen 8 is also installed on the upper side of the cabinet 1, and the display screen 8 is electrically connected to the controller 7. The display screen 8 is also powered by an external power supply or a built-in battery, and is used to display some temperature information for a more intuitive viewing experience.

[0037] To make cabinet 1 more stable when parked in a fixed position, multiple telescopic feet 9 are installed at the bottom of cabinet 1. When it is necessary to move the position of cabinet 1, the telescopic feet 9 are rotated upwards and retracted, and the casters 5 support the weight, allowing cabinet 1 to be moved. After cabinet 1 is moved to the designated position, the telescopic feet 9 are rotated downwards and extended, supporting the cabinet 1 on the ground, making it more stable.

[0038] Multiple lifting rings 10 are installed at the top of the cabinet 1 for easy lifting and transportation.

[0039] A lifting plate 1101 is installed on the frame 11. The lifting plate 1101 is fixed at different heights on the frame 11 to change the internal layout of the cabinet 1, so that the cabinet 1 can accommodate more different types of electrical components. Since the installation of the height-adjustable lifting plate 1101 on the frame 11 is existing technology, the installation method of the lifting plate 1101 will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The frame 11 is also equipped with a lifting bar 1102, which is used to install various electrical components. More specifically, multiple mounting holes 1103 are longitudinally spaced on both sides of the frame 11. Two mounting holes 1103 on each side form a group, and the mounting holes 1103 in the same group are at the same height. Both ends of the lifting bar 1102 can be connected to any group of mounting holes 1103, so that the installation position of the lifting bar 1102 can also be adjusted. The lifting bar 1102 can be installed at different heights to accommodate various types of electrical components, making it more adaptable.

[0041] It should be understood that this invention is not limited to the precise structure described above and shown in the accompanying drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of this invention is limited only by the appended claims.
