Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a network communication cabinet, and more particularly to a network cabinet that can be installed quickly. Background Technology

[0002] Communication cabinets are generally used in computer network equipment management centers. They are mainly used to install hubs, routers, network switches, servers or other data transmission equipment in a unified space to realize the connection and management between devices, and at the same time facilitate the centralized management of the normal operation and maintenance of the above-mentioned devices.

[0003] Most communication cabinets provided by manufacturers are integrally welded cabinets. The manufacturers weld all the components of the cabinet together to create a single, integrated unit. For example, Chinese utility model patent ZL201521037246.2 (authorization announcement number CN205430803U) discloses "A Seismic-Resistant Communication Cabinet," which includes a frame, bracket, front door, side door, left rear door, and right rear door. The frame includes uprights, crossbeams, a chassis, and a top cover. The uprights are welded to the crossbeams, the chassis, and the top cover. Welded communication cabinets have poor flexibility, cannot be disassembled for transport, have a large transport volume leading to high transportation costs, and are easily damaged during transport.

[0004] Therefore, the applicant has applied for Chinese utility model patent No. ZL202020426112.4 (authorization announcement No. CN212163882U), which discloses a convenient detachable communication cabinet. During assembly, the front and rear door frames are first fixed to the bottom of the chassis with screws. Then, three crossbeams are fixed between the two uprights of the front and rear door frames, respectively. Next, the bracket is fixed to the crossbeams. Then, the side panels are installed. The positioning holes at the bottom of the side panels are aligned with the positioning pins on the side mounting wall and inserted. Simultaneously, the latch is forced inward with a finger. After the side panels are in place, the finger is released, and the latch springs into place, completing the side panel installation. Next, the top cover is installed and fixed to the top of the front and rear door frames with screws. Finally, the front and rear doors are installed. The chassis, front door frame, rear door frame, front door, rear door, top cover, and two side panels constituting this cabinet can be shipped separately in bulk. Installation on the front and rear door frames requires multiple people: one to hold the door frame while another aligns the screws with the corresponding mounting holes, making the process inconvenient. Furthermore, the numerous modular components require customer assembly, further complicating the process.

[0005] Therefore, existing network cabinets all need further improvement. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a network cabinet with a completely new structure that can be quickly installed, which can be disassembled into corresponding modules for transportation, thereby reducing transportation and packaging costs.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a network cabinet that can be installed quickly, including a base plate assembly and a top cover assembly; characterized in that: it also includes two side frames located on the left and right sides, each of the side frames having two inwardly flanged edges spaced apart front and back; the base plate assembly has an upwardly extending first enclosure wall, and the front and rear sides of the base plate assembly are also provided with first slots for the lower ends of the inwardly flanged edges to be inserted into; the side frames are vertically placed on the base plate assembly and are pre-positioned on the base plate assembly by inserting the lower ends of the inwardly flanged edges into the first slots; the lower ends of the side frames are fixed to the first enclosure wall of the base plate assembly by screws; the top cover assembly has a downwardly extending second enclosure wall, and the front and rear sides of the top cover assembly are also provided with second slots for inserting the upper ends of the inwardly flanged edges; the top cover assembly is placed on the vertically arranged side frames and is pre-positioned on the upper end of the side frames by inserting the upper ends of the inwardly flanged edges into the second slots; the upper ends of the side frames are fixed to the second enclosure wall of the top cover assembly by screws.

[0008] In a further improvement, each side frame includes two uprights and two crossbeams connecting the upper and lower ends of the uprights, with the inner flange located on the uprights and extending along the length. This frame structure is simple in overall design and lightweight.

[0009] As an improvement, the system also includes a rear door and a front door. The front and rear sides of the base plate assembly are each connected to a first mounting portion, with a first insertion slot located between the first mounting portion and the corresponding first enclosure wall of the base plate assembly. The front and rear sides of the top cover assembly are each connected to a second mounting portion, with a second insertion slot located between the second mounting portion and the second enclosure wall of the top cover assembly. Rotating pins are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the front and rear doors. The first and second mounting portions are respectively provided with pin holes for the rotating pins to be inserted. Under the action of the elastic element, the rotating pins tend to always be inserted into the pin holes. The mounting portions provide suitable installation positions for the front and rear doors and naturally form insertion slots, eliminating the need for additional drilling on the base plate assembly or top cover assembly to form insertion slots. The rotating pins facilitate hinged connection of the front and rear doors to their respective positions. To ensure the rotating pin always tends to insert into the pin hole, as an improvement, the rotating pin includes a rotating part that can be inserted into the pin hole and rotate, and a limiting part located at the end of the rotating part. The front and rear doors are respectively provided with limiting members, each with a limiting hole. The rotating part passes through the limiting member and is limited by the limiting part. An elastic member is sleeved on the rotating part, and its lower end elastically abuts against the limiting member. This limiting member serves to limit the rotating pin and also facilitates the operator to pull the rotating pin inward to disengage it from the pin hole. When disassembling the front or rear door, pulling the rotating pin to disengage it from the pin hole allows the door to be removed. During installation, simply pull the rotating pin until it aligns with the pin hole, then release the rotating pin to allow it to insert into the pin hole under the action of the elastic member.

[0010] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the side door, the lower end of the side door rests on the lower crossbeam, and the left and right sides of the side door are locked to the column by side door locks.

[0011] To ensure that both sides of the side door can be locked to the pillars, preferably, the side door lock includes a latch that always tends to extend laterally under the action of an elastic structure, and an actuating part that acts on the latch to make it retract inward against the elastic force. The pillar is provided with a corresponding lock hole for the latch to be inserted. When the operator pushes the actuating part inward, the latch retracts inward against the elastic force applied by the elastic structure, at which point the side door lock can be unlocked and the side door can be removed from the side frame. During installation, simply limit the lower end of the side door to the crossbeam located at the lower end, push it to prevent the latch from retracting, and when the side door is pushed into the side frame, release the actuating part to allow the latch to extend laterally under the action of the elastic structure and insert into the lock hole. Alternatively, push the side door, and when the latch contacts the pillar, it retracts under force. Continue pushing the side door until the latch is aligned with the lock hole, and it loses the force exerted by the pillar and extends laterally under the action of the elastic structure to insert into the lock hole, thus locking the side door to the side frame.

[0012] To facilitate the movement of the communication cabinet, preferably, the bottom of the aforementioned base plate assembly is equipped with at least two casters and at least two adjustable horizontal feet. Since the communication cabinet is quite heavy after installing various devices, the casters alone are insufficient to support the entire cabinet. The horizontal feet solve this problem. After the cabinet is moved to its placement position, the horizontal feet are lowered to directly contact the ground, increasing support and preventing the cabinet from moving easily. When movement is needed, the horizontal feet are raised, allowing the casters to contact the ground and move the cabinet.

[0013] To facilitate the passage of communication equipment cables through the communication cabinet, the top cover assembly is equipped with cable routing holes. Since the communication cabinet concentrates multiple data transmission and power supply devices in a single space, placing them in a high heat density state, to improve the heat dissipation performance of these high-heat-density communication devices, preferably, the top cover assembly is provided with small ventilation holes, and a ventilation fan is located beneath the top cover assembly, with the exhaust end of the ventilation fan in fluid communication with the ventilation holes. The ventilation holes allow for air exchange between the inside and outside of the communication cabinet, thereby reducing the temperature inside the cabinet and achieving heat dissipation. The ventilation fan further accelerates air exchange, further enhancing heat dissipation performance.

[0014] To enhance the reliability of the communication cabinet, preferably, the side frame is provided with at least two connecting beams spaced vertically at intervals. Each connecting beam has a vertically mounted mounting bracket for installing communication equipment, and each mounting bracket has at least two mounting holes. The connecting beams significantly increase the cabinet's weight and reliability, while the mounting brackets facilitate the installation of various communication devices within the communication unit and further enhance its load-bearing capacity. Both the connecting beams and mounting brackets are detachable from the side frame, allowing for easy removal of packaging materials during packaging and transportation, saving packaging space and reducing packaging and transportation costs.

[0015] To ensure that all components of the cabinet abut against each other and enhance stability, the first enclosure has outwardly extending first limiting walls on both the left and right sides, which constrain the lower beam; the second enclosure has outwardly extending second limiting walls on both the left and right sides, which constrain the upper beam.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This network cabinet is very easy to assemble. During assembly, the lower end of the side frame is placed on the base plate assembly, and the lower end of the inward flange is inserted into the first slot to achieve the pre-positioning of the side frame on the base plate assembly, ensuring that each positioning hole is aligned. The side frame and the first enclosure of the base plate assembly can be fixed with screws without the need for additional hand support. Similarly, the side frame and the top cover assembly can be fixed with screws without the need for additional hand support. Before assembly, it mainly consists of the side frame, the base plate assembly, and the top cover assembly. Each part is thin plate, which reduces packaging space and lowers transportation and packaging costs. Attached Figure Description
