Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of irregular metal profiles, specifically relating to a frame profile structure for shielded cabinets. Background Technology
[0002] With technological advancements and evolving industry demands, the design of electrical cabinets and power cabinets for medical imaging is facing increasingly stringent requirements. Users are not only concerned with aesthetics but also demand rigorous standards for internal equipment installation efficiency, versatility, space utilization, load-bearing capacity, and structural stability. Traditional cabinet designs often improve performance by increasing structural volume or adding accessories, resulting in bulky cabinets, complex manufacturing processes (numerous welding steps, long manufacturing times), high costs, and a difficulty in balancing strength and space efficiency. The cabinet frame, as the core supporting structure, directly determines cabinet performance through its profile cross-section design. Developing profiles that combine high stability, load-bearing capacity, and space optimization has become a technological bottleneck in the industry.
[0003] In recent years, closed-section profiles have gradually become the mainstream for server rack frames due to their advantages such as high rigidity, high strength, and light weight. However, their space occupation problem has become prominent: internal cabling and equipment installation space are limited, making it difficult to meet the high integration requirements of communication equipment. At the same time, rack installation involves multiple stages such as hoisting, leveling, grounding, and rack consolidation. Existing designs disperse functional holes such as mounting holes, leveling holes, and grounding holes across the frame beams, resulting in complex structures and low design efficiency. For example, the installation of shelves and communication equipment requires additional brackets, and small racks still require internal brackets, leading to increased weight and material waste. Furthermore, the differences in profiles for different components exacerbate the difficulty of material preparation and operational risks.
[0004] The industry's pain points are concentrated in the following areas: traditional designs and processes cannot balance strength, space, and cost; enclosed profiles and dispersed functional hole designs limit the utilization rate of the cabinet's interior; high reliance on welding leads to environmental pressure; and low modularity and standardization affect production efficiency and flexibility. With the surge in demand for integrated, high-capacity, and operational space requirements for medical imaging equipment, existing cabinet technologies are struggling to meet the demands for efficient cabling, rapid deployment, and low-cost manufacturing. There is an urgent need to overcome industry development bottlenecks by innovating profile cross-section designs, optimizing modular structures, and reforming environmentally friendly processes to achieve lightweight, high-precision, easily expandable, and green production of cabinets. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of frame profile for server racks, which aims to overcome the defects of the existing technology and solve the problems of low design efficiency, low production efficiency, long production cycle and high manufacturing cost of server racks in the existing technology.
[0006] Therefore, this utility model proposes a novel frame profile for server racks, comprising: a connecting plate, a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate, a fourth side plate, a shielding plate, a fifth side plate, a sixth side plate, and a seventh side plate symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate and connected in sequence; an opening is formed between the free ends of the first side plate and the seventh side plate, and the free end of the seventh side plate is connected to the connecting plate; the included angle between the seventh side plate and the connecting plate is greater than 90° and less than 180°; the first side plate is perpendicular to the second side plate, the second side plate is perpendicular to the third side plate, the third side plate is perpendicular to the fourth side plate, the fifth side plate is perpendicular to the sixth side plate, and the sixth side plate is perpendicular to the seventh side plate; forming two rectangular structures symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate.
[0007] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connections between the first side plate, second side plate, third side plate, fourth side plate, shielding plate, fifth side plate, sixth side plate, seventh side plate, and connecting plate are all rounded corner structures.
[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the included angle between the seventh side plate and the connecting plate is 135°.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this application, the fourth side plate and the fifth side plate are parallel to each other and connected by a semi-circular shielding plate.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first side plate is provided with a plurality of second mounting holes along the longitudinal direction, and all the second mounting holes are arranged along the length direction.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the connecting plate has a first through hole at each end, and the first through hole is used for the installation and positioning of the tee connector.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this application, the first side plate is provided with a plurality of third perforations along the longitudinal direction, and all the third perforations are arranged along the length direction.

[0016] This utility model provides a novel frame profile for server racks, enabling the rack profiles to be universally compatible. For server racks with different frame sizes, only profiles of corresponding lengths need to be cut and spliced together to meet design requirements. Both the first and second side panels are provided with mounting holes and through holes for installing shelves and other related equipment and components. The rack has a simple structure; through bending and reinforcing ribs, the longitudinal structural strength of the rack made from this profile is improved, while also facilitating rack installation.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0025] like Figures 1-4As shown, the new cabinet frame profile of this utility model is made of steel plate bending and includes a connecting plate 9 and a first side plate 1, a second side plate 2, a third side plate 3, a fourth side plate 4, a shielding plate 5, a fifth side plate 6, a sixth side plate 7, and a seventh side plate 8 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the connecting plate.
[0026] The first side plate 1, the second side plate 2, the third side plate 3, the fourth side plate 4, the shielding plate 5, the fifth side plate 6, the sixth side plate 7, and the seventh side plate 8 are connected sequentially. The first side plate 1 is perpendicular to the second side plate 2, the second side plate 2 is perpendicular to the third side plate 3, the third side plate 3 is perpendicular to the fourth side plate 4, the fifth side plate 6 is perpendicular to the sixth side plate 7, and the sixth side plate 7 is perpendicular to the seventh side plate 8, which makes the structure of the profile component 10 more stable.
[0027] An opening is formed between the free end of the first side plate 1 and the free end of the seventh side plate 8. The free end of the seventh side plate is connected to the connecting plate 9. The included angle between the seventh side plate 8 and the connecting plate 9 is greater than 90° and less than 180°. Preferably, the included angle between the seventh side plate 8 and the connecting plate 9 is 135°.
[0028] The profile with two symmetrical rectangular structures on both sides of the connecting plate 9 gives it good stability and load-bearing capacity. The profile has a simple structure and can be formed by ordinary bending, which effectively reduces the manufacturing difficulty and cost of the profile.
[0029] The fourth side plate 4 and the fifth side plate 6 are parallel to each other and connected by a semi-circular shielding plate 5, which is used to cooperate with the conductive foam installed on the side plate of the cabinet to form a sealed electromagnetic shielding effect.
[0030] Further optimizations are made to the above structure, wherein the connections between the first side plate 1, the second side plate 2, the third side plate 3, the fourth side plate 4, the shielding plate 5, the fifth side plate 6, the sixth side plate 7, the seventh side plate 8, and the connecting plate 9 are all rounded corners. This rounded corner structure reduces the sharp edges of the profiles and effectively reduces stress concentration in the profiles, thereby improving structural strength.
[0031] Further optimization of the above structure is made by providing a plurality of second mounting holes 34 on the first side plate 1. All the second mounting holes 34 are arranged along the length direction of the first side plate 1, so that the cabinet made of the profile can install more accessories, thereby increasing the space utilization rate of the cabinet composed of the profile.
[0032] Further optimization of the above structure involves providing multiple first mounting holes 33 on the second side plate 2, all of which are arranged along the length of the second side plate 2. This allows the cabinet made of this profile to accommodate more accessories, thereby increasing the space utilization rate of the cabinet.
[0033] Further optimization of the above structure is made by providing multiple third through holes 35 on the first side plate 1. All the third through holes 35 are arranged along the length direction of the first side plate 1, making the installation of cabinet accessories more convenient.
[0034] Further optimization of the above structure is made by providing multiple second through holes 32 on the second side plate 2. All the second through holes 32 are arranged along the length direction of the second side plate 2, making the installation of cabinet accessories more convenient.
[0035] Further optimization of the above structure is made by providing first through holes 31 at both ends of the connecting plate 9 for the installation and positioning of the tee connector 20, so as to meet the needs of different installation positions.
[0036] Preferably, the profile is a one-piece molded workpiece, and its material can be either cold-rolled steel plate or galvanized steel plate. During the manufacturing process, the workers bend the steel plate into shape using a bending machine, which makes the structure of the profile more stable, and the manufacturing method can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the profile.
[0037] This utility model provides a novel frame profile for server racks, enabling the rack profiles to be universally compatible. For server racks with different frame sizes, only profiles of corresponding lengths need to be cut and spliced together to meet design requirements. Both the first and second side panels are provided with mounting holes and through holes for installing shelves and other related equipment and components. The rack has a simple structure; through bending and reinforcing ribs, the longitudinal structural strength of the rack made from this profile is improved, while also facilitating rack installation. It also solves the problems of low design efficiency, low production efficiency, long production cycles, and high manufacturing costs in related technologies.
[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
