[0002] Outdoor cabinets are widely used in the management of outdoor cabinet doors such as ring network cabinets and branch boxes in power distribution networks. They can also be used for the management of meter boxes in power supply marketing services, the management of meter boxes and transformer cabinet doors in rural power distribution networks, and the safety management of a large number of field equipment in industries such as petroleum, chemical, and rail transportation. Traditional outdoor cabinets use a combination of metal cabinets and cabinet doors to protect the equipment.
[0003] Currently, most outdoor server racks use key locks. Maintenance personnel must use a key to open the lock when inspecting equipment or circuits inside, and then close the door and lock it again. This process is cumbersome and inefficient. Furthermore, maintenance personnel often forget to lock the door after closing it, making it vulnerable to external force and compromising the safety of the equipment inside. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a self-locking security lock for server racks to solve this problem. Utility Model Content
