Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PDU accessories, specifically to a multi-functional rack-mounted PDU. Background Technology

[0002] Rack-mounted PDUs are typically installed at the back of a server rack, supplying power to all devices. Their main functions include surge protection, power circuit distribution output, and a main power switch. However, rack-mounted installations often result in a dimly lit environment due to lack of lighting, and the absence of proper cable management leads to tangled and chaotic cable connections, hindering equipment disassembly and repair, cable tracing, and system maintenance. Specifically, rack-mounted installations can achieve basic standardization, with initial but insufficient cable management due to unclear power cord labeling, inadequate bundling, and difficulty in locating or untying power cords, as well as equipment disassembly and assembly. The dark interior of the rack also hinders the ability to identify devices and manage cables effectively. Furthermore, products within the rack often have single functions and operate separately, such as lighting equipment, fans, and rack-mounted PDUs, performing their respective functions independently without effective integration, resulting in low operational efficiency. In addition, the cable management in the cabinet is not professional and meticulous enough. Often, the primary goal is to achieve the function of the equipment or system, and little attention is paid to cable management. However, cable management not only makes the cabinet look better, but also facilitates system debugging, equipment cable management, cable inspection, debugging and system maintenance, and plays a key role in the normal and stable operation of the system.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, we have made a series of improvements. Utility Model Content

[0016] Rack 1 and power cord 2. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that the following embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0018] Example 1

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the structure of the power output jack. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of a cable fixing clamp.

[0020] like Figure 1-3As shown, a multi-functional rack-mount PDU includes: a mounting plate 100, a power distribution output socket 200, a label 300, a strip insertion hole 400, a power switch 500, a strip 600, a cable fixing clip 700, and LED lighting 800. The mounting plate 100 is connected to the back of the cabinet 1. The mounting plate 100 is provided with the power distribution output socket 200, the label 300, the strip insertion hole 400, and the power switch 500. The LED lighting 800 is provided at the connection between the mounting plate 100 and the cabinet 1. The label 300 is located above the power distribution output socket 200. The power switch 500 is located on the side of the mounting plate 100. The strip insertion holes 400 are located on the lower sides of the mounting plate 100. The strip 600 is connected to the cabinet 1 through the strip insertion hole 400. The cable fixing clip 700 is connected to the power cord 2 during use.

[0021] The power switch 500 includes: a main power switch 510, a lighting switch 520, and a fan switch 530. The main power switch 510 is connected to the power supply, the lighting switch 520 is connected to the LED lighting 800, and the fan switch 530 is connected to the fan.

[0022] The cable fixing clip 700 includes: an upper clip 710, a lower clip 720, an insertion port 730, a female fixing connector 740, and a male fixing connector 750. The upper clip 710 is provided with the female fixing connector 740, and the lower clip 720 is provided with the male fixing connector 750. The female fixing connector 740 and the male fixing connector 750 are connected in use. The female fixing connector 740 and the male fixing connector 750 are respectively provided with insertion ports 730 on both sides. The insertion ports 730 are connected to the power cord 2 in use.

[0023] Compared with traditional technology, this utility model firstly adds an identifier 300, which corresponds to each power distribution output socket 200 to indicate the name of the device connected to the power cord inserted into the power distribution output socket 200, and is backlit. Secondly, it adds a tape insertion hole 400 and a corresponding tape 600. Multiple tape insertion holes 400 are arranged from top to bottom. When needed, the power cord 2 can be bent 90° and its end fixed in the gap between the tape insertion holes 400 using the tape 600, completing the cable management operation. Thirdly, a newly added cable fixing clip 700 is used to fix the power cord 2 at the beginning of the plug. The principle of the cable fixing clip 700 is that the insertion port 730 acts as a slot to first fix the power cord 2, and then it is fixed by combining the upper clip 710 and the lower clip 720 through the female fixing connector 740 and the male fixing connector 750. When eight cables are inserted and fixed between two cable clamps, the longitudinal cables are firmly positioned. This cable fixing method makes it easy to check, organize, and remove cables.

[0024] Finally, in terms of convenience, this utility model adds an additional LED lighting 800, which, together with the lighting switch 520, can provide sufficient light source in scenarios such as cable management and maintenance, making operation convenient; the main power switch 510 is connected to the power supply, which can be turned on to power on all the distribution output ports of the PDU, and turned off to prevent all the distribution output ports of the PDU from outputting voltage; the fan switch 530, usually the standard cabinet has a fan on the top of the cabinet, with a power plug but no switch, can realize on-demand control and centralized management of the cabinet fan after connecting the PDU device.

[0025] Compared with traditional technologies, this invention facilitates cable management, saves space occupied by PDUs, and makes observation and use easier, while significantly improving convenience and applicability.

[0026] The specific embodiments of this utility model have been described above, but this utility model is not limited thereto. Various changes can be made to this utility model as long as they do not depart from its spirit.
