The remote radio frequency unit 14 is located on the side of the baseband processing unit 15 facing the transmission device 20.
[0025] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100 integrates the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30 into the same cabinet. In terms of layout, from top to bottom, the cabinet contains a transmission power distribution unit 12, a transmission subframe 13, a remote radio frequency unit 14, and a baseband processing unit 15. Optionally, the wireless device 30 also includes a power supply unit. Both the transmission power distribution unit 12 and the wireless device 30's power supply units draw 48V DC power from a separate power supply cabinet's high-voltage DC power distribution unit to power the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30. In traditional brick-and-mortar communication equipment room layouts, the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30 are in separate cabinets, and the space utilization rate of both cabinets is low, with the utilized area being less than 50% of the total cabinet space. The railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100 combines the two cabinets into one, further optimizing the equipment placement while reducing space requirements. In railway communication systems, considering the heat dissipation problem of equipment, an air conditioning cabinet can be installed on one side of the railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100. This application does not limit this.
[0026] It should be noted that the transmission equipment 20 is used to provide access nodes for services such as environmental monitoring, wireless, remote control, and emergency response, while the wireless equipment 30 is used to provide wireless coverage for the supporting antenna feeder system.
[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, the transmission sub-frame 13 includes a plurality of first transmission sub-frames 131, the plurality of first transmission sub-frames 131 are placed side by side along a first direction D1; the first direction D1 is parallel to the plane where the bottom surface 18 of the cabinet body 10 is located.
[0028] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the cabinet 10 includes a top surface 11, a bottom surface 18, and a side surface 19.

[0029] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, which also includes a fan 17 located between the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30.
[0030] Specifically, the installation of a fan 17 inside the wireless transmission cabinet 100 can improve air convection and heat dissipation within the cabinet. In one optional embodiment provided in this application, the fan 17 can be a centrifugal fan, or other types of fans, etc. This application does not limit the type, material, or size of the fan 17, as long as it meets the placement space requirements of the wireless transmission cabinet 100. This embodiment uses a centrifugal fan, with airflow perpendicular to the fan blade axis, resulting in high air pressure but low air volume. The volute structure enhances the concentrated air delivery capacity, used for heat dissipation of the transmission device 20 and wireless device 30 in the wireless transmission cabinet 100.
[0031] Optionally, the fan 17 supports hot-swappable replacement, and a washable filter can also be installed on the fan 17 for dust filtration. This application does not limit the material or filtration accuracy of the filter; specific settings can be made according to actual needs. Optionally, the fan 17 can operate within a temperature range of -20℃ to 55℃ to adapt to the temperature environment inside the wireless transmission cabinet 100.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, wherein the fan 17 includes at least two first fans 171, which are arranged side by side along a first direction D1.
[0033] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the wireless transmission cabinet 100 includes at least two first fans 171. The first fans 171 are located between the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30, and the two first fans 171 are arranged side by side along a direction parallel to the plane where the bottom surface 18 of the cabinet 10 is located. By setting two first fans 171, the air volume inside the wireless transmission cabinet 100 can be increased, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. By arranging the two first fans 171 side by side between the transmission device 20 and the wireless device 30, the equipment inside the wireless transmission cabinet 100 can achieve uniform heat dissipation as much as possible, thus extending the equipment lifespan.
[0034] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, wherein the remote radio frequency unit 14 includes at least two first remote radio frequency units 141, one of which is a backup unit.
[0035] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the remote radio frequency unit 14 includes at least two first remote radio frequency units 141, one of which is a primary unit and the other is a backup unit. The primary unit is located on the side of the backup unit facing the transmission device 20. The remote radio frequency unit 14 is responsible for converting digital signals into radio frequency signals and transmitting and receiving wireless signals through an antenna. Its core function focuses on the processing and transmission of wireless signals, making it a key component for wireless access in wireless communication networks. The remote radio frequency unit 14 contains a radio frequency signal processing module that can perform modulation, demodulation, amplification, and filtering operations on signals to generate radio frequency signals suitable for transmission. It is typically directly connected to a set of antennas, supporting various antenna configurations and multiple access technologies to optimize the coverage and transmission quality of wireless signals.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, wherein the baseband processing unit 15 includes at least two first baseband processing units 151, one of which is a backup unit.
[0037] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the baseband processing unit 15 includes at least two first baseband processing units 151, one of which is a primary unit and the other is a backup unit. The primary unit is located on the side of the backup unit facing the transmission device 20 and is used as a backup in case the primary unit fails, so as to maintain the normal operation of the railway communication system. The baseband processing unit 15 is mainly responsible for processing the digital signals received from the remote radio frequency unit, including channel coding and decoding, baseband signal modulation and demodulation, and protocol processing. It also undertakes the connection with the core network to realize communication between the mobile terminal and the mobile network. It involves both baseband processing of wireless signals and data transmission between the base station and the core network, combining the characteristics of transmission and wireless equipment. The baseband processing unit 15 works in cooperation with the remote radio frequency unit 14. The baseband processing unit 15 is used to centrally process complex baseband signal processing tasks, and the remote radio frequency unit 14 is used to process radio frequency signals. The performance and quality of the baseband processing unit 15 directly affect the operation and communication quality of the entire railway communication system and is an important component of the wireless communication network.
[0038] Please continue to refer to this. Figure 1 This application provides a railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100, which also includes a cable organizer 16. A first baseband processing unit 151 is correspondingly provided with a cable organizer 16, and the cable organizer 16 is located below the first baseband processing unit 151 corresponding to it.
[0039] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, a cable organizer 16 is provided below the first baseband processing unit 151, which serves as the primary unit, and a cable organizer 16 is provided below the first baseband processing unit 151, which serves as the backup unit. The number of cable organizers 16 corresponds one-to-one with the number of first baseband processing units 151. The cable organizer 16 is the invisible hub of communication / data center infrastructure management. Its value is not only reflected in the maintenance of physical order, but also in empowering business continuity through multiple dimensions such as signal protection, operation and maintenance efficiency, and cost optimization. The cable organizer 16 can use preset card slots / cable ties / Velcro structures to classify and fix scattered cables (such as fiber optic patch cords, twisted pairs, and power cords) according to the routing level (backbone / branch / equipment level), avoiding the compression of operating space caused by cable tangling (such as expanding the maintenance space of the cabinet back door from 30cm to 50cm). The cable management unit 16 features a built-in guide slot design that ensures a minimum fiber optic bending radius of ≥40mm (compliant with G.657 standards), reducing the risk of optical attenuation (optical loss increases by 0.2dB for every 10mm reduction in bending radius). The cable management unit 16's metal shielding layer or layered cable management structure maintains a distance of ≥15cm between high-voltage (220V) and low-voltage (signal lines), reducing crosstalk and isolating electromagnetic interference. The cable management unit 16's flexible buffer bracket absorbs fan / air conditioner vibrations, reducing micro-vibration attenuation.
[0040] Optionally, the cable organizer 16 can be a vertical cable organizer or other types of cable organizers. This application does not limit the type and model of the cable organizer 16; it can be selected according to actual needs. The vertical cable organizer used in this embodiment includes a guide rail and a snap-on cable tray. The guide rail can be made of metal or plastic, and this application does not limit this. The vertical cable organizer supports height expansion from 1U to 48U. The vertical cable organizer can reduce cable obstruction of the hot and cold aisles of the cabinet, thus reducing energy consumption efficiency. Through the triple identification of cable labels, color code management, and routing map visualization of the vertical cable organizer, troubleshooting time can be shortened and fault location efficiency can be improved.
[0041] Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of a railway communication base station connection according to an embodiment of this application. Please refer to it. Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a railway communication base station 200, which includes the railway communication transmission wireless cabinet 100 as described above. The railway communication base station 200 also includes an outdoor communication tower 40, and a cable trough 50 is included between the outdoor communication tower 40 and the transmission wireless cabinet 100.
[0042] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, a cable trough 50 is included between the transmission wireless cabinet 100 and the outdoor communication tower 40. Optionally, the cable trough 50 extends from the side 19 of the cabinet 10 of the transmission wireless cabinet 100 to the outdoor communication tower 40. The cable trough 50 is protected against external impacts by a closed structure (such as the cover design of a metal cable tray) or high-strength materials (such as flame-retardant PVC or galvanized steel). By setting up the cable trough 50, the reliability of signal transmission can be improved, the maintenance efficiency of the railway communication system can be improved, the time for a single inspection can be shortened, and the openable cover design facilitates maintenance and reduces maintenance costs.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a railway communication base station 200, in which a cable trough 50 includes a feeder surge protector 51 and a shielded grounding terminal 52, with the feeder surge protector 51 adjacent to the shielded grounding terminal 52.
[0044] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the cable trough 50 includes a feeder surge protector 51. The feeder surge protector 51 can be used to discharge surge energy. When lightning strikes the antenna or signal transmission line, the feeder surge protector 51 quickly breaks down through its internal gas discharge tube or spark gap, forming a low-impedance path and guiding the large current to the grounding wire, preventing damage to downstream equipment due to overvoltage. The feeder surge protector 51 uses transient suppression diodes or varistors to clamp residual voltage within the equipment's safe range (e.g., below tens of volts), ensuring that communication equipment is not subjected to high-voltage surges. The feeder surge protector 51, through impedance matching design (coaxial structure) and filtering circuitry, avoids signal reflection or attenuation, ensuring the stability of high-frequency communication.
[0045] The cable trough 50 also includes a shielded grounding terminal 52. The shielded grounding terminal 52 is used to connect the grounding wires of multiple electrical devices together and connect them to the ground of the building or equipment, providing a low-impedance path to guide fault current from the electrical devices to the ground, reducing the risk of electric shock to personnel and equipment. The shielded grounding terminal 52 is grounded through a shielding layer, which reduces interference from external electromagnetic fields on signal transmission and improves signal quality. The shielded grounding terminal 52 can also be used to conduct static charge on the equipment to the ground through the grounding terminal, preventing static electricity accumulation that could damage the equipment.
[0046] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a railway communication base station 200, in which a cable trough 50 includes at least two pre-buried pipes 00, with a gap between adjacent pre-buried pipes 00, and the pre-buried pipes 00 include an outdoor feeder.
[0047] Specifically, in one optional embodiment provided in this application, the diameter of the pre-buried pipe 00 is 100mm, and the cable trough 50 includes at least two pre-buried pipes 00. There is a gap between adjacent pre-buried pipes 00, which can reduce signal interference. By inserting the outdoor feeder into the pre-buried pipe 00, the specific structure of the pre-buried pipe 00 can reduce the damage of external impact to the outdoor feeder, extend the service life of the outdoor feeder, and ensure the normal operation of the railway communication base station.
