Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet technology, specifically to a deployable cabinet external monitoring rack and cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the daily operation and maintenance of communication base station cabinets, such as equipment startup and shutdown, parameter adjustment, fault diagnosis, and routine inspections, mainly rely on manual operation, and a mature system has been formed under normal conditions. However, when base stations are located in remote areas such as plateaus, deserts, and rainforests, or in high-risk environments such as chemical industrial parks, manual inspections face many severe challenges: on the one hand, due to factors such as extreme weather and inconvenient transportation, the cost of a single inspection is 3 to 5 times higher than in conventional areas, and the annual inspection frequency is less than 1 / 3 of that in conventional areas, resulting in delayed responses to equipment anomalies; on the other hand, long-term exposure of personnel to extreme environments can easily lead to health and safety problems, such as altitude sickness and exposure to toxic gases. Meanwhile, existing cabinet monitoring devices have obvious technical defects. Most of them adopt fixed installation, which requires drilling and modification of the cabinet. This not only compromises the airtightness but also makes them incompatible with different cabinet models, resulting in poor interchangeability. Furthermore, the monitoring angle mostly only supports horizontal adjustment, making it difficult to cover the equipment on each layer inside the cabinet. During emergency maintenance of the cabinet, traditional monitoring devices lack a quick disassembly mechanism, which consumes a lot of time, affects maintenance efficiency, and frequent disassembly and assembly can easily cause wear and tear on structural components. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a deployable external monitoring rack and rack, including a C-shaped frame and a rotating component. The two ends of the opening of the C-shaped frame are connected to the upper and lower ends of the rack through the rotating component. The rotating component adopts a linkage structure of "first rotating column - hinge - second rotating column", so that the monitoring component faces the monitoring area to form a fixed viewing angle, and can be quickly deployed and reset, solving the problems of traditional fixed monitoring devices affecting operation and inconvenient disassembly and assembly.

[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] An expandable external monitoring rack for server racks includes a C-shaped frame and a rotating assembly. The two ends of the opening of the C-shaped frame are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the server rack through the rotating assembly. The bottom of the C-shaped frame is connected to the monitoring assembly and faces the area of ​​the server rack to be monitored.

[0006] The rotating assembly includes a first rotating column and a second rotating column. One end of the second rotating column is connected to the cabinet, and the other end of the second rotating column is connected to the first rotating column via a hinge. The first rotating column drives the C-shaped frame to rotate synchronously.

[0007] In this solution, the two ends of the C-shaped frame are connected to the upper and lower ends of the cabinet via rotating components, allowing the monitoring components to face the area to be monitored within the cabinet and form a fixed monitoring angle. The rotating components employ a linkage structure of "first rotating column - hinge - second rotating column." The second rotating column is fixed to the cabinet to provide support, while the first rotating column is connected to the second rotating column via a hinge, thereby driving the C-shaped frame to rotate and unfold from 0 to 90 degrees. When the cabinet needs maintenance, the C-shaped frame, along with the monitoring components, can be moved away via the rotating components to avoid obstructing the operating space. After maintenance, the monitoring components are returned to their original positions via rotation reset, ensuring the consistency of the video image. This structure not only ensures the stability of the monitoring angle through the C-shaped frame but also utilizes the rotating components to achieve rapid unfolding and resetting of the monitoring frame, solving the technical problems of traditional fixed monitoring devices affecting cabinet operation and being inconvenient to disassemble and assemble.

[0008] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring frame, a limiting post is connected to the end of the second rotating column away from the hinge. A limiting block is provided on the first rotating column to engage with the limiting post, forming a mechanical limiting structure. When the monitoring frame is unfolded to the working state via the hinge, the limiting post and the limiting block engage, restricting the rotation of the first rotating column relative to the second rotating column. This ensures that the C-shaped frame is stably maintained at the preset monitoring angle, preventing the camera's viewing angle from deviating from the monitoring area due to loosening of the rotating components. At the same time, this structure provides a clear unfolding positioning reference for the monitoring frame, allowing operators to quickly reset the monitoring frame to the optimal monitoring position without additional measurement.

[0009] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring rack, the rotating assembly also includes a fixing pin. The middle of the limiting column and the limiting block is provided with a through hole matching the fixing pin. When the monitoring rack is unfolded to the working position by the hinge, the limiting column and the limiting block are engaged to form a preliminary positioning. At this time, the fixing pin is inserted into the through hole of both to rigidly lock the relative position of the first rotating column and the second rotating column, preventing the monitoring rack from rotating unexpectedly due to vibration, external force collision, or other factors, and ensuring that the camera is always facing the area to be monitored in the cabinet. When the cabinet needs to be repaired, the fixing pin can be pulled out to release the lock, allowing the monitoring rack to rotate and move flexibly.

[0010] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring frame, the C-shaped frame includes a vertical rod and vertical connecting rods connected to both ends of the vertical rod;

[0011] The vertical connecting rods are connected to the first rotating column via connectors, allowing the C-shaped frame to rotate synchronously with the rotating assembly. A sliding groove is provided in the middle of the vertical rod, and the monitoring component is equipped with a slider that matches the sliding groove, forming a sliding pair. This allows the monitoring component to be adjusted to any position along the axis of the vertical rod, thereby aligning with the monitoring area at different heights within the cabinet.

[0012] As a further technical solution for external monitoring racks, multiple monitoring components are arranged along the slide rails to build a multi-view collaborative monitoring system, thereby solving the all-round monitoring needs under the complex equipment layout in the cabinet.

[0013] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring rack, the vertical pole and the vertical connecting rod are connected by the connector. The vertical pole and the vertical connecting rod can be separated by disassembling the connector, facilitating the replacement of vertical poles or vertical connecting rods of different lengths when the rack size changes, thus improving the monitoring rack's adaptability to different rack specifications. Furthermore, when a component is damaged, it is not necessary to disassemble the entire monitoring rack; only the corresponding connector or pole needs to be replaced, reducing maintenance costs and operational complexity.

[0014] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring rack, the connector includes a connecting block and a limiting pin. One end of the connecting block is connected to the first rotating column, and the other end of the connecting block is connected to the limiting pin. The end of the vertical connecting rod is provided with a pin hole that matches the limiting pin. When the limiting pin is inserted into the pin hole, the vertical connecting rod and the connecting block are rigidly fixed, so that the C-shaped frame can rotate synchronously with the first rotating column. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the parts, the vertical connecting rod and the connecting block can be separated by pulling out the limiting pin, which is convenient for adjusting the length of the vertical rod or repairing damaged parts according to the cabinet size.

[0015] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring bracket, the monitoring component includes a camera mounting clip and a camera. One end of the camera mounting clip is connected to the vertical rod via the slider, and the other end of the camera mounting clip has a groove. The camera is slidably connected to the wall of the groove via an adjustment part. The adjustment part allows the camera to slide along the wall of the groove, thereby finely adjusting the distance between the camera and the monitoring area in the horizontal direction to adapt to the installation requirements of lenses with different focal lengths.

[0016] As a further technical solution for the external monitoring rack, the groove wall is provided with multiple sets of screw holes at intervals. The multiple sets of screw holes are linearly distributed along the groove wall. The camera is fixed to the camera fixing clip through the screw holes. When installing cameras with different focal lengths, the distance between the lens and the area to be monitored in the cabinet can be adjusted by selecting the corresponding screw hole to fix the camera, thereby ensuring the clarity of the image.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. This utility model includes a C-shaped frame and a rotating component. The two ends of the opening of the C-shaped frame are connected to the upper and lower ends of the cabinet through the rotating component. The rotating component adopts a linkage structure of "first rotating column - hinge - second rotating column", which makes the monitoring component face the monitoring area to form a fixed viewing angle. At the same time, the rotating component is used to realize the rapid unfolding and resetting of the monitoring frame, which solves the technical problems of traditional fixed monitoring devices affecting cabinet operation and inconvenient disassembly and assembly.

[0019] 2. This utility model achieves rapid unfolding from 0 to 90 degrees through a rotating component and a fixing pin, allowing the monitoring frame to be quickly moved without affecting emergency operation of the cabinet; at the same time, the limiting column and the limiting block, together with the fixing pin, form a double lock to ensure that the monitoring frame does not shift under vibration, external force collision and other scenarios.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] This embodiment 1 provides a deployable external monitoring rack for server racks, such as... Figures 3-9 As shown, it includes a C-shaped frame and a rotating assembly 6;

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the two ends of the opening of the C-shaped frame are connected to the upper and lower ends of the cabinet through the rotating component 6, respectively. The bottom of the C-shaped frame is connected to the monitoring component and faces the area to be monitored in the cabinet. Specifically, the C-shaped frame includes a vertical rod 1 and vertical connecting rods 4 connected to both ends of the vertical rod 1 through connectors 5. The vertical connecting rods 4 are connected to the rotating component 6 through connectors 5, so that the C-shaped frame can rotate synchronously with the rotating component 6. The vertical rod 1 and the vertical connecting rods 4 are both made of European standard 3030ED aluminum profiles with surface oxidation treatment to resist corrosion. A sliding groove is opened in the middle of the vertical rod 1 along the axial direction. The monitoring component is equipped with a slider that matches the sliding groove, thereby forming a sliding pair, allowing the monitoring component to be adjusted to any position along the axial direction of the vertical rod 1.

[0036] Among them, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the rotating assembly 6 includes a first rotating column 61 and a second rotating column 63. The first rotating column 61 is connected to the vertical connecting rod 4 via a connector 5, driving the C-shaped frame to rotate. A limiting block 66 is provided on the surface of the first rotating column 61, and the limiting block 66 engages with the limiting post 65 of the second rotating column 63. One end of the second rotating column 63 is fixed to the side of the cabinet by a T-nut, and the other end is hinged to the first rotating column 61 by a hinge 62, providing rotational support. The limiting post 65 is connected to the end of the second rotating column 63 away from the hinge 62, and cooperates with the limiting block (66) to form a mechanical positioning. When the limiting post 65 and the limiting block 66 are engaged, the relative displacement of the rotating column is restricted. During use, a fixing pin 7 can be inserted into the through hole in the middle to form a rigid lock and prevent vibration from causing angular displacement.

[0037] In this embodiment, the hinge 62 has a built-in damping structure to provide rotational resistance, so that the frame can maintain a stable posture after it is unfolded (adjustable from 0 to 90 degrees).

[0038] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the connector 5 includes a connecting block 64 and a limiting pin. One end of the connecting block 64 is connected to the first rotating column 61, and the other end of the connecting block 64 is connected to the limiting pin. The end of the vertical connecting rod 4 is provided with a pin hole that matches the limiting pin. When the limiting pin is inserted into the pin hole, the vertical connecting rod 4 and the connecting block 64 are rigidly fixed, so that the C-shaped frame can rotate synchronously with the first rotating column 61. Similarly, the connector 5 between the vertical rod 1 and the vertical connecting rod 4 also includes a connecting block 64 and a limiting pin. Here, one end of the connecting block 64 is connected to the vertical rod 1, and the other end of the connecting block 64 is connected to the limiting pin. The end of the vertical connecting rod 4 is provided with a pin hole that matches the limiting pin. When the limiting pin is inserted into the pin hole, the vertical connecting rod 4 and the connecting block 64 are rigidly fixed.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, multiple monitoring components can be installed along the groove of vertical rod 1 according to actual needs. Specifically, for example... Figure 4 As shown, the monitoring component includes a camera mounting clip 2 and a camera 3. One end of the camera mounting clip 2 has a slider that is embedded in the groove of the vertical rod 1 and is tightened by a countersunk screw. The vertical position can be adjusted by sliding along the groove. The other end of the camera mounting clip 2 has a groove and three sets of screw holes are provided at intervals on the wall surface for fixing the camera 3. When installing cameras 3 with different focal lengths, the distance between the lens and the area to be monitored in the cabinet can be adjusted by selecting the corresponding screw hole to fix the camera 3, thereby ensuring the clarity of the image.

In some embodiments, the cabinet has multiple sides of areas to be monitored, and an external monitoring frame is installed on the side of each area to be monitored. The camera 3 is adjusted to face the area to be monitored.

[0042] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
