Description

Cabinet

The invention relates to a cabinet.

A large number of servers are installed in the cabinet. In order to enable the operator to maintain the power of the server on the front side of the cabinet, some servers change the power supply from the rear end mounted on the server to the front end of the server. When the power supply is located at the front end of the server, the power supply interface of the power supply needs to be forwardly connected to the external power supply line, so that the airflow direction of the fan inside the power supply is opposite to the airflow direction of the system fan of the server, which is not conducive to heat dissipation of the server.

In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a cabinet that allows the operator to maintain the power of the server at the front end and the heat dissipation of the server is good.

A cabinet includes a cabinet having a side panel, a door pivotally coupled to the front side of the side panel, a plurality of servers mounted to the cabinet, a plurality of power modules fixed to the inner side of the door, and a power distribution unit mounted to the cabinet The power modules are electrically connected to the power distribution unit through cables and electrically connected to the servers through the cables.

The power module of the server of the cabinet is assembled on the front door of the cabinet. The operator can maintain the power module on the front side, and the power module is located outside the server, which reduces the interference on the heat dissipation of the server.

Referring to FIG. 1 , a preferred embodiment of the cabinet of the present invention includes a cabinet 10 , a door 20 , a plurality of servers 30 , a plurality of power modules 40 , and a power distribution unit 50 .

The cabinet 10 includes a side panel 12. The door 20 is rotatably coupled to the front side of the side panel 12. The door 20 includes a first side 22 that is coupled to the cabinet 10 and a second side 24 that is opposite the first side 22. The servers 30 are mounted in the cabinet 10 from top to bottom. The power distribution unit 50 is mounted to the inner side of the side panel 12.

Each power module 40 includes a casing 41, two power sources 45 that can be received in the casing 41, and a power distribution board 49.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , each of the casings 41 includes a baffle 411 , and a first side plate 413 and a second side plate 415 extending perpendicularly from opposite sides of the baffle 411 extend perpendicularly from the center of the baffle plate 411 . A partition 417 parallel to the first side plate 413 and the second side plate 415. A fixing piece 4132 extends perpendicularly from the side of the first side plate 413 away from the baffle 411 toward the second side plate 415. A fixing piece 4152 extends perpendicularly from the side of the second side plate 415 away from the baffle 411 toward the first side plate 413. A fixing piece 4172 extends perpendicularly from a side of the partition 417 away from the baffle 411. The first end 410 of the partition 417 adjacent to the casing 41 is provided with two card holes 4173. The second side plate 415 is provided with two card holes 4153 near the first end 410 of the casing 41.

Each power source 45 includes a power body 451 and a latch 453. The power body 451 includes a bottom wall 452. The bottom wall 452 is provided with two through holes 4522 near the first end of the power body 451. The latching member 453 includes an operating portion 4531 and a resilient piece 4533 located outside the power supply body 451. One end of the elastic piece 4533 is located in the power body 451 and fixed to the bottom wall 452. The other end of the elastic piece 4533 extends from the first end of the power supply body 451 and is connected to the operating portion 4531. The elastic piece 4533 extends out of the two buckles 4535 passing through the two through holes 4522. The first end of the power body 451 is further provided with a handle 4512 and a power interface 4514 for connecting cables. The second end of the power body 451 is provided with a connector 455.

Each switchboard 49 is provided with two connectors.

During assembly, the power modules 40 are fixed from the top to the bottom of the door 20 and respectively correspond to the server 30. The installation process of each power module 40 is as follows. The switchboard 49 is fixed to the inner side of the door 20. The fixing pieces 4132, 4152, and 4172 of the casing 41 are fixed to the inner side of the door 20 such that the first side plate 413 faces upward and the second side plate 415 faces downward. The casing 41 is closer to the second side 24 of the door 20 than the distribution panel 49, and the first end 410 of the casing 41 faces the second side 24 of the door 20. The two power sources 45 are slid into the casing 41 along the first end 410 of the casing 41, and the two power sources 45 are respectively supported on the partition 417 and the second side plate 415 of the casing 41. When the two power sources 45 are slid to the connector 455 of the power source 45, the latches 4535 of the latching members 453 of the two power sources 45 are respectively engaged with the card holes 4173 and the second side panel of the partition plate 417. The card hole 4153 of the 415 fixes the power source 45 to the casing 41. The first end of the power body 451 is adjacent to the second side 24 of the door 20.

After the power module 40 is assembled, the power interface 4514 of the two power sources 45 of each power module 40 is electrically connected to the power distribution unit 50 through the cable 60. The power distribution board 49 of the power module 40 is electrically connected to the corresponding server 30 through the cable 80, so that the power module 40 can supply power to the server 30.

If the power source 45 needs to be replaced, the cable 60 connected to the power source 45 is pulled out. The operating portion 4531 of the latching member 453 of the power source 45 is pulled upward to release the latching button 4535 of the latching member 453 from the corresponding card hole. The power supply 45 can then be removed by pulling the handle 4512. Referring to FIG. 4, since the first end of the power supply body 451 is close to the second side 24 of the door 20, even if the door 20 is substantially closed, the power supply 45 can be replaced in the above manner, so that the maintenance of the power supply 45 is very Convenience.

In summary, the present invention has indeed met the requirements of the invention patent, and has filed a patent application according to law. However, the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and it is not possible to limit the scope of the patent application of the present invention.
