Description

Technical Field

[0001] An outdoor server rack awning and an outdoor server rack, belonging to the field of sunshade device technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the comprehensive transformation and development of power transmission, distribution, and transformation networks, the number of outdoor cabinets is gradually increasing. Outdoor cabinets require shading during operation to prevent prolonged exposure to sunlight, which can cause internal temperatures to rise and affect the stable operation of the internal devices. This is especially true for energy storage cabinets in energy storage systems, where the operating temperature of the battery cells is a key factor determining their lifespan and performance. Particularly in hot and humid regions, the continuous intense sunlight "baking" outdoor energy storage cabinets poses a significant challenge to their cooling systems. As sunlight intensity increases, the surface of the energy storage cabinet absorbs a large amount of solar radiation heat, causing the cabinet temperature to rise sharply, and consequently, the internal battery cell temperature. Since battery cells are extremely sensitive to temperature, excessively high operating temperatures not only accelerate cell aging and significantly shorten their lifespan but may also lead to safety hazards. Therefore, sunshades are typically installed above outdoor energy storage cabinets to significantly reduce direct sunlight exposure. Traditional sunshades for energy storage cabinets mostly require fixing to a concrete foundation, making on-site construction complex, time-consuming, and limited by terrain (such as mountainous areas or temporary sites), making them unsuitable for mobile or temporarily deployed energy storage cabinets.

[0003] Therefore, installing a sunshade on the top of the energy storage cabinet is the simplest and most effective sunshade solution. Existing sunshades, based on their fixing method to the cabinet, mainly include the following types: (1) Fixed type, that is, fixed to the cabinet by bolts or other fasteners. Such as the technical solutions recorded in the Chinese utility model patent with application number 202222312582.X, application date August 31, 2022, entitled "A retractable solar power generation sunshade carport", the Chinese invention patent with application number 202410558606.0, application date May 7, 2024, entitled "Photovoltaic sunshade", and the Chinese invention patent with application number 201910506609.9, application date June 12, 2019, entitled "A sunshade device for outdoor high voltage opening and closing". Although this fixed method of connecting the sunshade to the cabinet has high stability and is easy to disassemble and assemble, it requires opening holes in the cabinet itself. Therefore, its waterproof performance needs to be considered when using it outdoors for a long time, and its reliability has certain hidden dangers.

[0004] (2) Snap-fit ​​type, which means that the sunshade is fixed to the cabinet by snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the technical solution recorded in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 202121818363.8, filed on August 5, 2021, entitled "An outdoor box-type high and low voltage complete set of equipment that is easy to maintain". When implementing this solution, a fixing device consisting of mounting columns, sliding rods, springs and fixing blocks is set on both sides of the top of the cabinet. Then, the rainproof plate in the frame cooperates with the fixing device to achieve fixation. Although it has the effect of facilitating disassembly and assembly, its structure is relatively complex and the processing cost is high. Chinese Utility Model Patent No. 202221914570.8, filed on July 25, 2022, entitled "A sunshade device for outdoor high voltage switch", records a technical solution. The defect of this technical solution is that when the height of the sunshade is adjusted, the height of the four corners must be adjusted at the same time, and it is impossible to form an inclined state. Moreover, this sunshade is difficult to be used for cabinets with large width variations.

[0005] Therefore, designing a sunshade solution that can achieve a stable and reliable snap-fit ​​connection with the cabinet, while being easy to disassemble and adjust, has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an outdoor cabinet sunshade and outdoor cabinet that achieves quick assembly and disassembly of the sunshade and outdoor cabinet and reliability and stability after fixing, while satisfying the requirement of snap-fit ​​connection between the sunshade and the outdoor cabinet, and has the advantage of low cost.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: the outdoor cabinet sunshade includes a canopy and a base frame for mounting with the outdoor cabinet. The canopy is installed on the surface of the base frame. The base frame includes a set of pressure rods arranged opposite each other. The end of each pressure rod is bent to form a mounting plate for mounting with the outdoor cabinet. A locking mechanism is provided on the surface of each mounting plate. A locking head for locking with the outdoor cabinet is elastically installed in the locking mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, a locking hole for accommodating a locking head is provided on the surface of the mounting plate facing the outdoor cabinet, and an elastic element for connecting to the locking head is provided in the locking hole; one end of a pull rod passing through the locking hole is connected to the locking head, and the other end is connected to a pull head outside the locking hole.

[0009] Preferably, the elastic element is a spring fitted onto the outside of the pull rod.

[0010] Preferably, the base frame also includes a set of bottom rods arranged opposite each other, the bottom rods being located below the pressure rods, support feet being fixed on the surface of the pressure rods, and a canopy being installed on top of the support feet.

[0011] Preferably, the support feet are located at the four corners of the base frame, and a top frame is installed at the bottom of the canopy, with the top frame installed on top of all the support feet.

[0012] Preferably, the support foot includes a fixed sleeve, an adjusting rod is provided in the fixed sleeve that can be raised and lowered, a hinge frame is swayed and installed on the top of the adjusting rod, and a canopy is installed on the top of the hinge frame.

[0013] Preferably, limit posts are provided on both sides of the surface of the base rod, and limit holes for docking with the limit posts are provided on the surface of the pressure rod.

[0014] An outdoor cabinet includes a cabinet body, characterized in that: a locking groove for engaging with a locking head is provided at the top edge of the cabinet body.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: The outdoor cabinet sunshade and outdoor cabinet of this application are designed with a pressure rod and a locking mechanism at the end of the pressure rod. The locking head is elastically connected to lock the cabinet. Under the premise of satisfying the snap-fit ​​connection between the sunshade and the outdoor cabinet, the sunshade and the outdoor cabinet are quickly disassembled and assembled, and the reliability and stability after being fixed are achieved. At the same time, it has the advantage of low cost.

[0016] The opening direction of the hinge hole is perpendicular to the opening direction of the adjustment hole. Therefore, the top of the support foot and the top frame are actually in a rotating connection state. Thus, the two support feet located on the surfaces of the two base rods can be adjusted in height independently, thereby realizing the tilt setting of the ceiling and the adjustment of the tilt angle.

[0017] The outdoor cabinet sunshade and outdoor cabinet of this application are particularly suitable for mobile or temporary energy storage cabinets. When the energy storage cabinet needs to be moved, the sunshade can be easily disassembled and reinstalled to adapt to the usage needs of different sites, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional sunshades fixed on cement foundations that are limited by terrain, have complex construction and long cycle.

[0027] Figures 1-8 This is the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which is described below in conjunction with the appendix. Figures 1-8 The present invention will be further described below.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, an outdoor server rack awning includes a canopy 2 fixed to the top of a rack 5, a base frame 3 snapped onto the top of the rack 5, and support legs 4 vertically fixed at the four corners of the upper surface of the base frame 3. The height of the support legs 4 is adjustable. A top frame 1 is installed on top of the support legs 4, and the canopy 2 is installed on top of the top frame 1.

[0029] Combination Figure 2 The base frame 3 includes two bottom rods 11 and two pressure rods 8 arranged opposite each other. The two bottom rods 11 and the two pressure rods 8 form a rectangular frame 3. In the base frame 3, the two pressure rods 8 are located above the two bottom rods 11. When the two pressure rods 8 are engaged with the top edge of the cabinet 5, they press the two bottom rods 11 against the top surface of the cabinet 5.

[0030] Limiting posts 7 are provided on both sides of the surface of each bottom rod 11. Limiting holes corresponding to the limiting posts 7 are opened at both ends of the surface of each pressure rod 8. The two limiting posts 7 on the surface of each bottom rod 11 are respectively installed into the limiting holes on the surface of the corresponding side pressure rod 8, so that the two bottom rods 11 and the two pressure rods 8 form a structure that is connected end to end. Since the position of the two pressure rods 8 is relatively fixed after the base frame 3 is snapped on the top of the cabinet 5, the relative position of the two bottom rods 11 and the cabinet 5 is fixed by the connection between the limiting posts 7 and the limiting holes.

[0031] On both sides of the surface of each base rod 11, a set of support foot fixing posts 10 are respectively provided. The support foot 4 is installed on the surface of the base rod 11 through the corresponding support foot fixing posts 10. The support foot fixing posts 10 can be implemented by common fixing bolts.

[0032] Each pressure bar 8 has its ends bent vertically downwards to form a mounting plate that fits against the top edge of the cabinet 5. A locking mechanism 9 is installed on each mounting plate. Figure 3 The locking mechanism 9 includes a locking hole, which is located on the surface of the mounting plate facing the cabinet 5. A pull rod 14 is inserted through the locking hole. A pull head 13, which is integrated with the pull rod 14, is located on the side of the mounting plate facing away from the cabinet 5. A locking head 16, which is integrated with the pull rod 14, is located on the side of the mounting plate facing the cabinet 5. A spring 15 is also installed in the locking hole. The spring 15 is fitted onto the outside of the pull rod 14, and both ends of the spring 15 abut against the inner end of the locking hole and the back of the locking head 16, respectively.

[0033] Therefore, when the spring 15 is not subjected to external force, the spring 15 uses its own elasticity to maintain the tendency to push the locking head 16 out of the locking hole. A locking groove is provided at the top edge of the cabinet 5, which is opposite to the locking hole. Therefore, after the top frame 1 is snapped onto the top of the cabinet 5, the locking head 16 enters the locking groove under the elasticity of the spring 15, thereby locking the base frame 3 and the cabinet 5.

[0034] like Figures 4-7 As shown, the top frame 1 is constructed using commercially available C-shaped steel, specifically comprising multiple horizontally and vertically arranged C-shaped steel sections fixed vertically. Adjacent perpendicular C-shaped steel sections intersect to form fixing points. The top frame 1 includes at least four C-shaped steel sections, thus forming at least four fixing points. The support feet 4, installed at the four corners of the base frame 3, are respectively installed at the corresponding fixing points. Through holes on the surface of the C-shaped steel sections allow for adjustment of the position of each C-shaped steel section in the top frame 1.

[0035] The top frame 1 also includes multiple roof frames 17 arranged opposite each other. Each roof frame 17 is made of commercially available C-shaped steel spliced ​​end to end to form a rectangular frame. Two adjacent roof frames 17 are fixed side by side as a whole, and the multiple roof frames 17 spliced ​​together are fixed to the upper part of the top frame 1.

[0036] The two adjacent ceiling frames 17 are fixed together by a fixing plate 6. The fixing plate 6 is located at the joint between the two ceiling frames 17. The fixing plate 6 is "L" shaped, and its two mutually perpendicular surfaces are respectively attached to the two mutually perpendicular end faces of the ceiling frame 17, and the fixing plate 6 is fixed to the two adjacent ceiling frames 17 respectively.

[0037] like Figure 8 As shown, the support foot 4 includes a fixing sleeve 23, and a fixing base plate 12 is horizontally fixed at the bottom of the fixing sleeve 23. The support foot 4 is fixed to the base rod 11 by connecting the fixing base plate 12 with the support foot fixing post 10 on the surface of the base rod 11.

[0038] An adjusting rod 22 is inserted and installed inside the fixed sleeve 23. Multiple sets of adjusting holes 21 with equal spacing are formed on the surface of the adjusting rod 22 along its height direction. Adjusting mounting holes corresponding to the adjusting holes 21 are formed on the surface of the fixed sleeve 23. Both the adjusting holes 21 and the adjusting mounting holes are through holes. By adjusting the relative position of the fixed sleeve 23 and the adjusting rod 22, after the adjusting holes 21 and the adjusting mounting holes are aligned front to back, the relative position of the fixed sleeve 23 and the adjusting rod 22 is fixed by bolts that pass through both the adjusting holes 21 and the adjusting mounting holes.

[0039] A hinge frame 19 is also provided at the top of the adjusting rod 22. The hinge frame 19 is swayed and mounted on the top of the adjusting rod 22 through the hinge holes 20 on both sides of its lower part. A set of support mounting holes 18 are provided at the top of the hinge frame 19. The hinge frame 19 corresponds to the fixing point at the intersection of the C-shaped steel in the top frame 1, and is fixedly connected to the through hole in the C-shaped steel through the support mounting holes 18.

[0040] The opening direction of the hinge hole 20 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the adjustment hole 21. Therefore, the top of the support foot 4 is actually rotatably connected to the top frame 1. Thus, the two support feet 4 located on the surfaces of the two bottom rods 11 can be adjusted in height independently, thereby realizing the tilt setting of the ceiling 2 and the adjustment of the tilt angle.

[0041] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of this utility model without departing from its technical solution shall still fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
