Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of data center technology, and more specifically, relates to an auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly and a cabinet applied to a data center. Background Technology

[0002] Server racks in a data center are the skeleton that carries and protects core IT equipment. Servers, network switches, storage devices, patch panels, and other equipment are installed inside the racks. By vertically stacking the equipment in the racks, the floor space of the data center is greatly saved, achieving efficient use of space.

[0003] Modern data centers are increasingly moving towards "intelligent" and "refined operation and maintenance," which necessitates the installation of functional modules such as lighting, human body sensors, and alarms within the server racks. Currently, all of these modules need to be installed separately within the server racks, making installation and subsequent maintenance operations cumbersome, cable management difficult, and impacting the efficiency of installation and maintenance work. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide an integrated structure assembly of auxiliary function modules and a cabinet for use in data centers, which aims to solve the problem that auxiliary function modules such as lighting and human body sensor lights in existing cabinets need to be installed separately, resulting in low installation and maintenance efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide an auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly, including: An integrated bracket has a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate. The first mounting plate is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the second mounting plate is parallel to the vertical direction. The second mounting plate is provided with a cabinet mounting position for connecting to the top of the front side of a cabinet. A first auxiliary function module is installed on the first mounting plate. The first auxiliary function module is a lighting module with the light-emitting surface facing downwards. Multiple secondary auxiliary function modules are located on the second mounting plate.

[0006] Existing auxiliary functional modules used in data center racks mainly include lighting, human body sensors, alarms, and SMS modules. Each module needs to be installed in a separate location within the rack. For example, lighting is installed at the top of the rack, human body sensors are installed on the upper part of the front door or the upper part of the internal side wall, alarms are installed on the top of the front side, and SMS modules are generally installed on the upper part of the side wall. As can be seen, the installation locations of these modules are scattered, making cabling and cable management difficult. Furthermore, maintenance requires disassembly and repair of each module individually, negatively impacting both installation and maintenance operations.

[0007] The solution shown in this application embodiment has the following advantages compared with the prior art: First, the lighting module, serving as the first auxiliary functional module, is installed on the first mounting plate outside the cabinet. The various second auxiliary functional modules are pre-installed on the second mounting plate. The first and second auxiliary functional modules form an integrated structure with the help of an integrated bracket. During assembly, this integrated structure is simply installed onto the upper part of the cabinet; there is no need to install each auxiliary functional module individually. During disassembly, the integrated bracket is removed first for maintenance, effectively shortening installation and disassembly time.

[0008] Secondly, after installation, the lighting module is located at the top of the rack, emitting light downwards to meet the needs of precise lighting. Meanwhile, the remaining auxiliary function modules are also concentrated in the upper part of the rack, satisfying their installation height requirements. The integrated bracket occupies minimal internal rack space vertically, and because the second mounting plate is a plate-like structure, the auxiliary function module integrated assembly also occupies minimal space front-to-back, having virtually no impact on the layout of other equipment inside the rack.

[0009] Third, since the first and second auxiliary function modules are set up in a relatively concentrated manner, the cables of each auxiliary function module can be arranged in a unified bundle, which makes it easier to lay and manage the cables, and further reduces the difficulty of cable routing inside the cabinet.

[0010] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the second mounting plate is provided with multiple functional areas distributed along the left and right directions, and different functional areas are used to install different second auxiliary functional modules; the cabinet mounting positions are provided in two sets, and the two sets of cabinet mounting positions are respectively located on the left and right edges of the second mounting plate.

[0011] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the auxiliary functional module integrated structure assembly further includes an auxiliary mounting bracket, which is an arched bracket that arches backward. The front part of the auxiliary mounting bracket is fitted and connected to the rear plate surface of the second mounting plate, and together with the second mounting plate, forms a module accommodating space.

[0012] In some embodiments, the auxiliary mounting bracket includes: The main mounting plate is spaced apart on the rear side of the second mounting plate, and the upper and lower edges of the main mounting plate are bent forward to form limiting flanges. Two sets of connecting arms are respectively located on the left and right sides of the main mounting plate, and the front part of the connecting arms is fitted and connected to the second mounting plate. The main mounting plate, the limiting flange, the connecting arm, and the second mounting plate together form the module accommodating space.

[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the cabinet mounting position includes two sets of cabinet mounting holes, which are respectively located on the left and right edges of the second mounting plate. The cabinet is provided with main body mounting holes corresponding to the cabinet mounting holes. The second mounting plate and the corresponding side of the cabinet are locked together by fasteners that pass through the cabinet mounting holes and the main body mounting holes.

[0014] In some embodiments, the cabinet mounting position further includes two sets of snap-fit ​​components, which are respectively located on the left and right edges of the rear side of the second mounting plate. The cabinet is provided with main body snap-fit ​​holes corresponding to the snap-fit ​​components, and the snap-fit ​​components snap into the main body snap-fit ​​holes to restrict the displacement of the second mounting plate in the vertical direction.

[0015] In some embodiments, the cabinet mounting hole is located above the snap-fit ​​connector.

[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the lower edge of the second mounting plate is bent backward to form a second flange, which can abut against a device located below the second mounting plate to restrict the displacement of the second mounting plate in the vertical direction.

[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one possible implementation, the front edge of the first mounting plate is bent downward to form a first flange, and the lower edge of the first flange is not lower than the light-emitting surface of the lighting module.

[0018] Secondly, this application embodiment also provides a cabinet for a data center, including a cabinet body and the aforementioned auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly, wherein a second mounting plate is fitted and connected to the top of the front column in the cabinet body in the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the solution shown in this application embodiment has less impact on the layout of other equipment in the cabinet by adopting the above-mentioned auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly. On this basis, the installation and removal process of the first auxiliary function module and the second auxiliary function module is more convenient, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of installation and maintenance operations, and makes it easier to lay and manage cables, which plays a positive role in improving the overall construction efficiency of the cabinet.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0024] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "set on" another element, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other element. It should be understood that the terms "length," "width," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships, are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are used only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0025] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Existing auxiliary functional modules used in data center racks mainly include lighting, human body sensors, alarms, and SMS modules. Each module needs to be installed in a separate location within the rack. For example, lighting is installed at the top of the rack, human body sensors are installed on the upper part of the front door or the upper part of the internal side wall, alarms are installed on the top of the front side, and SMS modules are generally installed on the upper part of the side wall. As can be seen, the installation locations of these modules are scattered, making cabling and cable management difficult. Furthermore, maintenance requires disassembly and repair of each module individually, negatively impacting both installation and maintenance operations.

[0027] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides an integrated structure assembly of auxiliary function modules. Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 7 The auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly provided in this application will now be described. The auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly includes an integrated bracket 100, a first auxiliary function module 200, and multiple second auxiliary function modules 300. The integrated bracket 100 has a first mounting plate 110 and a second mounting plate 120. The first mounting plate 110 is perpendicular to the vertical direction, and the second mounting plate 120 is parallel to the vertical direction. The second mounting plate 120 has a cabinet mounting position 130 for connecting to the top of the front side of the cabinet 500. The first auxiliary function module 200 is mounted on the first mounting plate 110 and is a lighting module with its light-emitting surface facing downwards. Multiple second auxiliary function modules 300 are all disposed on the second mounting plate 120.

[0028] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate power connection, both the lead-out lines of the first auxiliary function module 200 and the second auxiliary function module 300 are provided with prefabricated plug-in terminals, or the main structure of the first auxiliary function module 200 and the second auxiliary function module 300 themselves are provided with prefabricated plug-in terminals, so that power connection can be achieved by quick plugging and unplugging.

[0029] The auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly provided in this application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: First, the lighting module, serving as the first auxiliary function module 200, is installed on the first mounting plate 110 outside the cabinet. The various second auxiliary function modules 300 are pre-installed on the second mounting plate 120. The first and second auxiliary function modules 200 and 300 form an integrated structure under the action of the integrated bracket 100. During assembly, this integrated structure is simply installed onto the upper part of the cabinet 500, eliminating the need to install each auxiliary function module individually. During disassembly, the integrated bracket 100 is removed first for maintenance, effectively shortening installation and disassembly time.

[0030] Secondly, after installation, the lighting module is located at the top of the cabinet, emitting light downwards to meet the needs of precise lighting. Meanwhile, the remaining second auxiliary function modules 300 are also concentrated in the upper part of the cabinet, satisfying their installation height requirements. The integrated bracket 100 occupies minimal internal cabinet space vertically, and because the second mounting plate 120 has a plate-like structure, the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly also occupies minimal space in the front-to-back direction, having virtually no impact on the layout of other equipment inside the cabinet.

[0031] Third, since the first auxiliary function module 200 and the second auxiliary function module 300 are set up in a relatively concentrated manner, the cables of each auxiliary function module can be arranged in a unified wire harness, which makes it more convenient to lay and manage the cables, and further reduces the difficulty of the internal wiring layout of the cabinet.

[0032] In this application, the second auxiliary function module 300 includes an alarm 310, a human body sensor 320, and an SMS module 330 (e.g., a 4G SMS module 330). Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown.

[0033] The second auxiliary function module 300, employing the above-mentioned solution, effectively meets the design requirements of intelligent and refined operation and maintenance for the following reasons: First, not all server racks in a data center require 24-hour operation. When personnel leave a server rack area, the human body sensor 320 detects the absence and automatically raises the set temperature of the air conditioning in that area, focusing solely on cooling the IT equipment. When personnel approach for maintenance, the air conditioning reverts to a cooling mode serving both personnel and equipment, reducing energy consumption. Second, the main lighting in a data center is typically not very bright, and the dense arrangement of server racks creates shadows inside. When engineers need to wire or troubleshoot a server rack, the internal lighting module can provide a bright local light source. Working in conjunction with the human body sensor 320, the lighting module automatically illuminates the internal lights when personnel are detected approaching. The human body sensor 320 can also link with the monitoring system via the SMS module 330 to record the time personnel spend in front of a server rack for security auditing. Administrators can also send specific command SMS messages to the SMS module 330 to perform simple control operations (such as controlling the smart power strip connected to the module). Third, the alarm 310 can sound an alarm when there is an abnormality inside the cabinet (such as the equipment temperature being too high), providing a direct reminder to the on-site maintenance personnel.

[0034] Of course, the second auxiliary function module 300 can also be a temperature sensor, humidity sensor, smoke sensor, etc., which will not be listed here.

[0035] In specific implementation, the second mounting plate 120 is provided with a sensing via 1201. The sensing via 1201 is located on the sensing side of the human body sensor 320, providing a passage for the transmission and reception of identification signals. The sensing via 1201 can be a circular hole or a hole of other shapes, as long as it meets the signal transmission and reception requirements. The figure exemplarily shows multiple vias with a combination of arc and circular shapes. In addition, the implementation of the human body sensor 320 includes, but is not limited to, infrared sensors; other implementation methods will not be listed here.

[0036] In specific implementation, the alarm 310 may be implemented in ways including but not limited to an audible and visual alarm 310, which may be an existing audible and visual alarm 310, and its structure will not be described in detail here.

[0037] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The second mounting plate 120 has multiple functional areas 1202 distributed along the left and right directions (see reference). Figure 2The area enclosed by the rectangular dashed frame; different functional areas 1202 are used to install different second auxiliary function modules 300; two sets of cabinet mounting positions 130 are provided, and the two sets of cabinet mounting positions 130 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the second mounting plate 120. In this embodiment, the multiple functional areas 1202 are horizontally distributed to avoid the second mounting plate 120 being too tall and affecting the arrangement of the equipment below, and to improve the structural compactness of the integrated bracket 100 in the vertical direction. On this basis, the second mounting plate 120 is extended in the horizontal direction so that the second mounting plate 120 can span the left and right sides of the front opening of the cabinet 500, so as to utilize the horizontal space of the cabinet 500 to realize the arrangement of each second auxiliary function module 300; and the cabinet mounting positions 130 are located on the left and right sides of the second mounting plate 120 by utilizing the spanning design of the second mounting plate 120, so as to realize the installation with the cabinet 500 and improve the ease of installation of the second mounting plate 120 and the cabinet 500.

[0038] To maintain the overall aesthetics of the cabinet, the second auxiliary function module 300 is installed on the rear side of the second mounting plate 120 as much as possible without affecting its functionality. Based on this, some second auxiliary function modules 300 (such as the alarm 310) can directly penetrate the second mounting plate 120, with their rear ends directly secured using a set nut. Other second auxiliary function modules 300 (such as the SMS module 330) are directly installed on the rear side of the second mounting plate 120 using fasteners (such as bolts). However, some second auxiliary function modules 300 (such as the human body sensor 320) have their mounting positions on the rear side and cannot be directly connected to the second mounting plate 120.

[0039] In order to enable such functional modules to connect to the rear side of the second mounting plate 120, in some embodiments, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 The auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly also includes an auxiliary mounting bracket 400. The auxiliary mounting bracket 400 is an arched bracket that arches backward. The front part of the auxiliary mounting bracket 400 is attached to the rear plate surface of the second mounting plate 120, and together with the second mounting plate 120, they enclose a module accommodating space. In this embodiment, the auxiliary mounting bracket 400 and the second mounting plate 120 cooperate to form a module accommodating space that can fix the second auxiliary function module 300, thus meeting the connection requirements of the second auxiliary function module 300.

[0040] In some specific embodiments of the auxiliary mounting bracket 400, see [reference needed]. Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6The auxiliary mounting bracket 400 includes a main mounting plate 410 and two sets of connecting arms 420. The main mounting plate 410 is spaced apart on the rear side of the second mounting plate 120, and the upper and lower edges of the main mounting plate 410 are bent forward to form limiting flanges 430. The two sets of connecting arms 420 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the main mounting plate 410, and the front part of the connecting arms 420 is in close contact with the second mounting plate 120. The main mounting plate 410, the limiting flanges 430, the connecting arms 420 and the second mounting plate 120 enclose a module accommodating space.

[0041] In this embodiment, the main mounting plate 410, two sets of limiting flanges 430, and two sets of connecting arms 420 enclose a box-shaped structure with a forward opening. Forces are no longer transmitted solely along the edges but can be dispersed and transmitted across the entire surface. Furthermore, the box-shaped structure effectively resists forces (shear forces) that cause in-plane deformation, which is crucial for preventing torsional distortion. Additionally, each panel of the box-shaped structure typically has three or four sides firmly supported, increasing the panel's critical load resistance to buckling and making it less prone to instability. Therefore, the auxiliary mounting bracket 400 in this embodiment possesses high structural strength and, after assembly with the second auxiliary functional module 300 and the second mounting plate 120, maintains structural stability and has a long service life.

[0042] In practice, the second auxiliary function module 300 is located on the rear side and is locked to the main mounting plate 410 by fasteners (such as bolts) to prevent the second auxiliary function module 300 from shaking within the module accommodating space.

[0043] In other embodiments, the main mounting plate 410 and the second mounting plate 120 can be used to clamp and fix the second auxiliary function module 300. On this basis, the lower limiting flange 430 supports the second auxiliary function module 300 to prevent it from falling off.

[0044] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The front end of the connecting arm 420 is bent to form a connecting flange 421. The connecting flange 421 is provided with flange connecting holes, and the second mounting plate 120 is provided with corresponding plate connecting holes. The connecting flange 421 and the second mounting plate 120 are connected by fasteners (such as bolts) that pass through the flange connecting holes and the plate connecting holes, so that the connection strength between the connecting arm 420 and the second mounting plate 120 is higher and connection failure is avoided.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6The cabinet mounting position 130 includes two sets of cabinet mounting holes 131, which are respectively located on the left and right edges of the second mounting plate 120. The cabinet 500 has main mounting holes corresponding to the cabinet mounting holes 131. The second mounting plate 120 and the corresponding side of the cabinet 500 are locked together by fasteners 600 (e.g., bolts) that pass through the cabinet mounting holes 131 and the main mounting holes. In this embodiment, the second mounting plate 120 is designed to span the cabinet 500 horizontally. Extending the length of the second mounting plate 120 in the left-right direction can meet the needs of the various second auxiliary function modules 300 distributed in the left-right direction, thereby compressing the size of the second mounting plate 120 in the vertical direction and avoiding the integrated bracket 100 and the various second auxiliary function modules 300 from affecting the equipment below.

[0046] Optionally, the number of cabinet mounting holes 131 on the same side of the second mounting plate 120 can be one or more. If multiple cabinet mounting holes 131 are provided, the multiple cabinet mounting holes 131 are distributed at intervals in the vertical direction to avoid encroaching on the installation space of the second auxiliary function module 300.

[0047] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 6 The cabinet mounting position 130 also includes two sets of snap-fit ​​parts 132, which are respectively located on the left and right edges of the rear side of the second mounting plate 120. The cabinet 500 has main body snap-fit ​​holes corresponding to the snap-fit ​​parts 132. The snap-fit ​​parts 132 snap into the main body snap-fit ​​holes to limit the displacement of the second mounting plate 120 in the vertical direction. When installing the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly, the snap-fit ​​parts 132 are first aligned with the main body snap-fit ​​holes on the cabinet 500 and snapped in place. After snapping, the entire auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly is supported by the cabinet 500 in the vertical direction. At the same time, the cabinet mounting hole 131 is aligned with the main body mounting hole. The operator can hold the second mounting plate 120 with one hand and use the locking fastener 600 to lock it in place with the other hand. The snap-fit ​​parts 132 and the main body snap-fit ​​holes cooperate to achieve pre-positioning, which facilitates single-person assembly operation and saves manpower and resources.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the connector 132, see [reference needed]. Figure 6The snap-fit ​​component 132 includes a connecting plate 1321 and a snap-fit ​​plate 1322. The connecting plate 1321 is approximately parallel to the second mounting plate 120. The connecting plate 1321 and the second mounting plate 120 are connected by an arc-shaped transition piece, allowing the connecting plate 1321 to elastically swing back and forth relative to the second mounting plate 120. The snap-fit ​​plate 1322 directly snaps into the main body's snap-fit ​​hole. If the snap-fit ​​plate 1322 collides with the cabinet 500 during snap-fit, the connecting plate 1321 can absorb this impact energy through its own elastic swing, preventing rigid collision damage to the snap-fit ​​plate 1322. The angle between the connecting plate 1321 and the second mounting plate 120 is greater than or equal to 0° and less than 10°.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, since the edge of the second mounting plate 120 forms two sets of positioning points through the cabinet mounting holes 131 and the snap-fit ​​members 132, the problem of edge warping of the second mounting plate 120 can be effectively avoided. Therefore, the number of cabinet mounting holes 131 on one side can be appropriately reduced, and similarly, the number of snap-fit ​​members 132 on one side can also be appropriately reduced. The figure exemplarily shows an embodiment in which only one cabinet mounting hole 131 and one snap-fit ​​member 132 are provided on one side.

[0050] In some embodiments, see Figures 4 to 6 The cabinet mounting hole 131 is located above the snap-fit ​​connector 132. During installation, since the snap-fit ​​connector 132 is below, the integrated bracket 100 can be naturally suspended on the snap-fit ​​connector 132. This also effectively prevents the integrated bracket 100 from swaying or twisting before locking. With one person holding the integrated bracket 100, it can maintain a relatively stable state before locking, ensuring that the cabinet mounting hole 131 is aligned with the main mounting hole, which is convenient for single-person operation.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 , Figures 4 to 6 The lower edge of the second mounting plate 120 is bent backward to form a second flange 121. The second flange 121 can abut against the equipment located below the second mounting plate 120 to limit the displacement of the second mounting plate 120 in the vertical direction. During cabinet construction, the various devices are usually installed in the cabinet 500 first, and then the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly is installed last. Through the abutment between the second flange 121 and the equipment below, the equipment below can provide a certain support to the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly during the installation process, avoiding excessive stress on the snap-fit ​​132. Therefore, the size of the snap-fit ​​132 can be reduced, further improving the overall structural compactness of the integrated bracket 100. In addition, the second flange 121 can also strengthen the second mounting plate 120, improve the bending and torsional resistance of the second mounting plate 120, and prevent the second mounting plate 120 from deforming after the second auxiliary function module 300 is installed.

[0052] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figures 4 to 6 The front edge of the first mounting plate 110 is bent downwards to form a first flange 111, and the lower edge of the first flange 111 is not lower than the light-emitting surface of the lighting module. The first flange 111 strengthens the first mounting plate 110, improving its bending and torsional resistance and preventing deformation after the first auxiliary function module 200 is installed. Furthermore, the first flange 111 also provides shielding and protection for the first auxiliary function module 200, preventing damage during assembly. Based on this, the lower extension dimension of the first flange 111 is appropriately set to avoid affecting the illumination range of the first auxiliary function module 200.

[0053] Based on the above embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 A U-shaped snap-fit ​​bracket 140 with an opening facing downwards is installed on the lower side of the first mounting plate 110, and the lighting module is snapped into the U-shaped snap-fit ​​bracket 140. The U-shaped snap-fit ​​bracket 140 has an assembly hole on the side opposite to the opening side, so that the U-shaped snap-fit ​​bracket 140 is connected to its own assembly hole by a fastener (such as a bolt) that passes through the first mounting plate 110, thereby realizing the assembly of the U-shaped snap-fit ​​bracket 140 and the first mounting plate 110.

[0054] Based on the same inventive concept, this application also provides a server rack for use in data centers, see reference. Figures 1 to 3 The server rack used in the data center includes a cabinet 500 and the aforementioned auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly. In the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly, the second mounting plate 120 is attached to the top of the front column 510 in the cabinet 500.

[0055] Compared with existing technologies, the data center cabinet provided in this application has less impact on the layout of other equipment within the cabinet 500 by adopting the aforementioned auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly. On this basis, the installation and removal process of the first auxiliary function module 200 and the second auxiliary function module 300 is more convenient, which helps to improve the efficiency of installation and maintenance operations, and makes it easier to lay and manage cables, thus playing a positive role in improving the overall construction efficiency of the cabinet.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figures 1 to 3The cabinet 500 has two uprights 510 on the front side, and each upright 510 has a vertically extending cable management bracket 520 on its opposite side. Multiple through-holes 5201 are formed on the opposite edge of the cable management bracket 520, distributed vertically. The main mounting holes and main snap-fit ​​holes are formed by these openings 5201. In this embodiment, the cable management bracket 520, in addition to cable management, also enables installation with the integrated bracket 100, eliminating the need for separate components for connection to the integrated bracket 100. This improves the functional integration of the cable management bracket 520 and reduces the number of components in the cabinet 500. Furthermore, cables from the auxiliary function module integrated structure assembly can also be easily managed through the cable management bracket 520, improving the convenience of wiring operations.
