Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the technical field of server racks, and more specifically, to a server rack with a cable management system. Background Technology

[0002] In data centers, communication equipment rooms, and industrial control scenarios, server racks are the core carriers for centrally installing servers, switches, controllers, and other equipment. The neatness of their internal wiring (power cables, network cables, signal cables) directly affects equipment maintenance efficiency and operational security. With increasing equipment integration, a single server rack needs to connect dozens or even hundreds of cables, with most cables needing to be routed through the back of the rack, significantly increasing the demands on the rack's cable management capabilities. However, traditional server racks generally lack dedicated cable management features, resulting in a chaotic and tangled mess of cables at the back, becoming a prominent problem restricting data center management efficiency and equipment stability. Traditional server racks often have open backs or only simple perforations, lacking proper securing and guiding structures for cables, leading to tangled and haphazardly stacked cables. When maintenance or equipment replacement is needed, operators must painstakingly navigate through the messy cabling, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and may result in accidental contact with other cables, causing equipment downtime. Furthermore, uneven spacing between cables obstructs airflow at the back of the rack, affecting heat dissipation efficiency. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can lead to performance degradation and shortened lifespan. Therefore, developing server racks with cable management capabilities that can solve the problem of messy back-end cables has become an urgent need to improve data center management efficiency and equipment operation stability.

[0021] like Figures 1-6 As shown, a cabinet with a cable management system is illustrated in one embodiment of this disclosure, comprising: Cabinet 1 and cabinet door 2, wherein the cabinet door 2 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 1 by a pin; The rear cover 3 and the heat dissipation component 5 are provided. The rear cover 3 is rotatably connected to the back of the cabinet 1 by a pin, and the heat dissipation component 5 is disposed in the cabinet 1. Cable management component 4, which is disposed on the outside of the cabinet 1; The cable management assembly 4 includes several horizontal cable-passing openings 4-1, all of which are located on the back of the cabinet 1. Several fixing rods 4-2 are provided on the back of the cabinet 1, and these fixing rods 4-2 are horizontally positioned above the horizontal cable-passing openings 4-1. Several connecting sleeves 4-3 are rotatably connected to the back of the cabinet 1 via pins. Cable management brackets 4-4 are horizontally inserted into the connecting sleeves 4-3. Several cable-passing grooves 4-5 are formed on the surface of the cable management brackets 4-4, with the top of each cable-passing groove 4-5 being... The structure has an open design. The bottom surface of the fixing rod 4-2 has several protrusions 4-6. The lower ends of the protrusions 4-6 are inserted into the wire groove 4-5. The surface of the fixing rod 4-2 has an insertion port 4-7. The upper surface of the cable management bracket 4-4 has an insertion block 4-8. The insertion block 4-8 ​​is inserted into the insertion port 4-7. The side end face of the insertion block 4-8 ​​has a limiting groove 4-9. The surface of the fixing rod 4-2 has an elastic frame 4-10. One end of the elastic frame 4-10 is inserted into the limiting groove 4-9.

[0022] In some examples, in order to achieve uniform separation, orderly storage and stable fixation of external cables of the cabinet, avoid cable tangling and mess, and improve the convenience of operation and maintenance, a cable management component 4 is designed. Several horizontal cable passages 4-1 on the back of the cabinet 1 are distributed vertically to provide channels for cables to enter and exit the cabinet 1 and can initially distinguish cables in different areas. Several fixing rods 4-2 on the back of the cabinet 1 are horizontal and located above the horizontal cable passages 4-1. The fixing rods 4-2 are welded or bolted to the back of the cabinet 1 to provide stable support for the cable management structure.

[0023] Several connecting sleeves 4-3 are rotatably connected to the back of the cabinet 1 via pins. The cable management brackets 4-4 are horizontally inserted inside the connecting sleeves 4-3 and can slide along the axis of the connecting sleeves 4-3. Several cable passage grooves 4-5 on the surface of the cable management brackets 4-4 are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction. The opening structure at the top of the cable passages makes it easy to put the cables in from above. The cables can be arranged first and then the cable management brackets 4-4 can be inserted into the connecting sleeves 4-3 for installation. The spacing of the cable passage grooves 4-5 can ensure that the cables are separated from each other and avoid tangling.

[0024] Several protrusions 4-6 on the bottom surface of the fixing rod 4-2 correspond one-to-one with the cable groove 4-5. When the lower end of the protrusion 4-6 is inserted into the cable groove 4-5, it can further limit the cable in the cable groove 4-5 laterally, preventing the cable from coming out from the side of the cable groove 4-5. The socket 4-7 on the surface of the fixing rod 4-2 is adapted to the plug 4-8 on the upper surface of the cable management bracket 4-4. The plug 4-8 is inserted into the socket 4-7, forming the initial positioning of the cable management bracket 4-4 and the fixing rod 4-2, preventing the cable management bracket 4-4 from sliding at will.

[0025] The limiting groove 4-9 on the side end face of the insert 4-8 cooperates with the elastic frame 4-10 on the surface of the fixing rod 4-2. The elastic frame 4-10 uses a spring to provide elastic force. One end is fixed to the fixing rod 4-2, and the other end naturally fits against the surface of the fixing rod 4-2. When the insert 4-8 is inserted into the socket 4-7, one end of the elastic frame 4-10 automatically engages with the limiting groove 4-9 under the action of elasticity, realizing the elastic locking between the cable management bracket 4-4 and the fixing rod 4-2, and preventing the cable management bracket 4-4 from accidentally disengaging.

[0026] During operation, first flip the connecting sleeve 4-3 to adjust the angle of the cable management bracket 4-4. Place the cable into the slot through the opening of the cable threading groove 4-5. Push the cable management bracket 4-4 so that the insert 4-8 inserts into the socket 4-7 of the fixing rod 4-2. The elastic bracket 4-10 automatically engages with the limiting groove 4-9 to lock in place. The cable threading opening 4-1 guides the cable into and out of cabinet 1, the cable threading groove 4-5 separates the cables, the protrusion 4-6 provides lateral limiting, and the elastic locking ensures the bracket's stability. This component, through the coordinated action of its various parts, achieves orderly cable organization and fixation, facilitating future cable maintenance and replacement while preventing messy cables from affecting the surrounding environment of cabinet 1.

[0027] like Figures 1-6 As shown in the figure, the heat dissipation component 5 in this embodiment includes an inner partition 5-1, the surface of which has several openings 5-2. Several cooling fans 5-3 are installed at the bottom of the back of the cabinet 1. A shield 5-4 is provided at the lower end of the back of the cabinet 1. The surface of the shield 5-4 has a mesh-like hollow structure. The shield 5-4 covers the cooling fans 5-3. Columns 5-5 are provided on both sides inside the cabinet 1. A pair of mounting plates 5-6 are vertically and movably connected between the columns 5-5. Several limiting holes 5-7 are provided on the surface of the columns 5-5. Grooves 5-8 are provided at both ends of the side surface of the mounting plates 5-6. Limiting rods 5-9 are horizontally inserted into the grooves 5-8. The limiting rods 5-9 pass through the limiting holes 5-7.

[0028] In some examples, in order to achieve stable heat dissipation of the equipment inside the cabinet, avoid equipment failure due to high temperature operation, and ensure the overall reliability of the cabinet operation, a heat dissipation component 5 is designed. The inner partition 5-1 inside the cabinet 1 of this component divides the cabinet 1 into an equipment installation area and a heat dissipation air duct area. Several openings 5-2 on the surface of the inner partition 5-1 are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, which can promote air circulation between the two areas and allow the heat generated by the equipment to smoothly enter the heat dissipation air duct area.

[0029] Several cooling fans 5-3 installed at the bottom of the back of cabinet 1 are arranged horizontally. The fans are fixed to the back panel of cabinet 1 with bolts. After starting, they can draw in cold air from outside the cabinet 1 or draw out hot air from inside the cabinet, forming a directional airflow to accelerate the heat dissipation inside the cabinet.

[0030] The shield 5-4 at the lower back of cabinet 1 is fixed to the back panel of cabinet 1. Its mesh-like perforated structure can block external dust and debris from entering the cooling fan 5-3, preventing the fan from becoming clogged and damaged, while not affecting airflow and ensuring the air intake or exhaust efficiency of the cooling fan 5-3.

[0031] The uprights 5-5 on both sides of the cabinet 1 are vertically fixed to the bottom and top of the cabinet 1, providing support and guidance for the mounting plates 5-6. A pair of mounting plates 5-6 are vertically and movably fitted onto the uprights 5-5, and can slide up and down along the uprights 5-5. This allows for easy adjustment of the spacing between the mounting plates 5-6 according to the equipment size, making the equipment layout more reasonable and avoiding dense stacking of equipment that affects heat dissipation.

[0032] Several limiting holes 5-7 on the surface of the column 5-5 are evenly distributed vertically. The notches 5-8 at both ends of the side surface of the mounting plate 5-6 correspond to the positions of the limiting holes 5-7. The limiting rod 5-9 is horizontally inserted into the notch 5-8 and passes through the limiting hole 5-7, forming a locking structure between the mounting plate 5-6 and the column 5-5 to prevent the mounting plate 5-6 from sliding down under the weight of the equipment. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the mounting plate 5-6, the limiting rod 5-9 is pulled out, the mounting plate 5-6 is slid to the target position, and then the limiting rod 5-9 is inserted into the corresponding limiting hole 5-7.

[0033] During operation, the cooling fan 5-3 activates to create a directional airflow. The heat generated by the equipment enters the cooling duct area through the opening 5-2 of the inner partition 5-1, and is then exhausted by the fan from the cabinet 1. The shield 5-4 filters air impurities and protects the fan during operation. The mounting plates 5-6 can be adjusted according to the equipment size to provide sufficient space for heat dissipation between devices. The airflow circulation design ensures rapid heat dissipation, the structural adjustment function adapts to the heat dissipation needs of different equipment, and the coordinated operation of all components achieves stable heat dissipation of the cabinet, ensuring long-term reliable operation of the equipment.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the fixing rod 4-2 is bent vertically downwards, and the cable management bracket 4-4 is supported between the bent part of the fixing rod 4-2 and the connecting sleeve 4-3.

[0035] In some examples, one end of the fixing rod 4-2 is bent vertically downwards to form an L-shaped support structure, which, together with the connecting sleeve 4-3, provides bidirectional support for the cable management bracket 4-4. One end of the cable management bracket 4-4 is inserted into the connecting sleeve 4-3, and the other end is supported at the bend of the fixing rod 4-2. This support structure, formed by the connecting sleeve 4-3, effectively distributes the force on the cable management bracket 4-4, preventing the bracket from tilting or deforming due to the concentrated weight of the cables.

[0036] The bend in the fixing rod 4-2 can limit the position of the cable management bracket 4-4, preventing it from sliding excessively along the axis of the connecting sleeve 4-3, ensuring that the cable management bracket 4-4 is always in a stable cable management position, further improving the stability of the cable management component 4 in cable organization, and maintaining an orderly cable management state even when there are many cables and they are heavy.

[0037] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, the cabinet door 2 has several glass windows 6 that open and close on its surface.

[0038] In some examples, the glass windows 6 on the surface of the cabinet door 2 are made of high-strength transparent glass, which does not affect the overall sealing of the cabinet door 2, and allows operators to observe the operating status of the equipment inside the cabinet without opening the cabinet door 2.

[0039] The glass window 6 can be configured according to the installation location of the equipment inside the rack, facilitating targeted viewing of indicator lights, displays, and other information on critical equipment. This reduces dust ingress and temperature fluctuations caused by frequent opening and closing of the rack door 2, ensuring a stable internal environment. Furthermore, the transparent glass offers some dust and scratch resistance, maintaining a clear view even after long-term use, providing convenience and safety for rack maintenance.

[0040] In actual use: Open cabinet door 2 and back cover 3, adjust the height of mounting plate 5-6 according to the equipment size, pull out the limiting rod 5-9, slide mounting plate 5-6 along column 5-5 to the target position, insert limiting rod 5-9 through limiting insertion hole 5-7 to complete the fixation, and install the equipment on mounting plate 5-6. When tidying up external cables, flip the connecting sleeve 4-3 to adjust the angle of cable management bracket 4-4, put the cable into the opening of cable groove 4-5, push cable management bracket 4-4 so that plug 4-8 is inserted into the plug 4-7 of fixing rod 4-2, elastic bracket 4-10 automatically snaps into limiting groove 4-9 and locks, the bottom protrusion 4-6 of fixing rod 4-2 is inserted into cable groove 4-5 to limit the cable laterally, and excess cable enters and exits cabinet 1 through cable horizontal opening 4-1. Start the heat dissipation component 5, and the cooling fan 5-3 drives the airflow circulation. The heat of the equipment is discharged through the inner partition 5-1 and the opening 5-2. The shield 5-4 filters impurities. The operating status of the equipment can be observed through the glass window 6 of the cabinet door 2. During maintenance, the cable management bracket 4-4 can be adjusted by loosening the spring frame 4-10. The entire process achieves neat wiring and stable heat dissipation of the equipment.
