Cabinet

The present invention relates to a cabinet, and more particularly to a cabinet that is easy to assemble and repair.

In recent years, the rapid and vigorous development and expansion of the Internet, especially in some large enterprises, or the business premises of the Internet, etc., due to the expansion of business needs, the number of servers is increasing, resulting in the arrangement of servers. Management is more centralized to save space on the server. Because of the large number of servers and other devices that are densely packed, it is bound to cause excessive heat generation, which in turn leads to unstable operation of the overall server system.

Generally, the servo system includes a cabinet, a plurality of carrier disks, and a plurality of servo hosts. Each servo host is installed in the cabinet through a carrier tray. Each servo host includes an arithmetic device, a data access device, a heat sink, and a power supply device. When the device in the servo host is damaged, the servo system will be unstable and affect the user's rights. For example, when the heat sink is damaged, the temperature of the servo host will increase and affect the performance of other devices. If the repair cannot be performed immediately, the entire servo system may be affected and the user's rights may be affected. However, with the existing server configuration, if there is damage to the heat sink, pull out the carrier to repair or replace the damaged heat sink. As can be seen from the above, the existing server configuration is not conducive to the immediate maintenance of the maintenance personnel, so that the servo system is in an unstable state for a long time. So how to improve the server The ease of assembly, and thus the maintenance personnel to carry out immediate maintenance, will be one of the problems that R&D personnel should start.

The invention provides a cabinet, thereby improving the assembly convenience of the cabinet, thereby facilitating the immediate maintenance of the maintenance personnel.

The cabinet disclosed in the present invention is used for plugging at least one server. The cabinet includes a cabinet and at least one rack module. The rack module can be detached from the cabinet. The rack module includes a first frame, a power distribution member and a plurality of fans. The power distribution member is detachably mounted to one side of the first frame. The power distribution component includes a power supply, a power distribution control board, a plurality of first electrical connectors, and a plurality of second electrical connectors. The power distribution control board is electrically connected to the power supply. The power distribution control board runs through the first frame. The first electrical connector and the second electrical connector are respectively electrically disposed on the power distribution control board, and the first electrical connectors are used for at least one server to plug the second electrical connectors in the first frame. The fans are detachably mounted to the first frame. The fans each have a third electrical connector. The third electrical connectors are detachably coupled to the second electrical connectors.

According to the cabinet disclosed in the above invention, the second electrical connector of the power distribution member is located in the first frame, so that when the fan is loaded into the first frame, the second electrical connector and the second component of the power distribution member can be transmitted. The connectors are electrically connected to enhance the assembly convenience of the cabinet, thereby facilitating immediate maintenance by maintenance personnel.

In addition, the fan is independently disposed outside the server, so that the fan with better heat dissipation efficiency can be used without being limited by the space of the server, thereby improving the stability of the cabinet.

The power distribution control board supplies power to the fan through the second electrical connector In addition, the temperature signal of each server can be received through the first electrical connector to change the rotation speed of each fan, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the cabinet.

The features, implementations, and utilities of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the drawings.
