Description

Cabinet

The present invention relates to a cabinet, and more particularly to a cabinet incorporating a longitudinal power socket.

Nowadays, the world is in an era of rapid development of information technology. Although enterprises or individuals have used personal computers (such as desktop computers, notebook computers, etc.) to handle transactions, with the maturity of communication technologies, Transnational e-commerce has already replaced the traditional regional business model, which has led to the trend of electronic e-business. Personal computers can no longer meet the needs of enterprises in the market. Therefore, the computer industry has developed many servers with specialized functions (such as : Firewall servers, switches, routers, etc., to solve the problem of electronic enterprises.

Therefore, in order to store and calculate data, various data storage and computing centers are established in large numbers. When multiple servers are simultaneously loaded into a server cabinet, it not only saves space and is easy to manage, but also enables multiple servers to cooperate. Run to perform large computing projects, so the server cabinet is widely used when building data storage and computing centers. The appearance of the server is usually designed according to the unified standard. Its height is U (1U = 1.75 inches = 44.45 mm), including 1U, 2U, 3U, 4U, 5U, 6U, 7U and other standards, so the server The dimensions of the cabinet are also based on common industry standards.

Generally, one or more power distribution units (PDUs) are fixed on the inner side of the cabinet to provide and distribute external power to a plurality of modular electronic devices. However, the power distribution mode between the power distribution unit and the electronic device can only be connected one-to-one using a cable. Therefore, when the cabinet is installed with multiple modular electronic devices, many cables will be exposed, making it difficult to manage. Furthermore, the power distribution unit in the common cabinets in the market today is often placed at the top or bottom of the cabinet; Therefore, the power cords of some electronic devices are plugged in, and the position is limited, so that other electronic devices cannot be plugged. Moreover, in order to be able to be plugged into the power distribution unit, some power lines will cross other electronic devices, resulting in staggered disorder, which in turn requires maintenance personnel to take time to confirm and affect the heat dissipation of the equipment.

In view of this, how to design a cabinet to solve the above problems has become an important issue for the industry.

In view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a cabinet, thereby improving the problem that the conventional management is not easy. .

According to a primary object of the present invention, a cabinet includes a frame body, two keyhole portions, and a power socket. The frame body is composed of a plurality of support stands. The two locking holes are respectively disposed on two corresponding supporting vertical frames of the frame body or formed by two of the supporting vertical frames extending outward. The power socket is disposed inside the frame corresponding to one of the locking holes or parallel to one of the locking holes. The power socket includes at least one main power cord and a plurality of power modules. The plurality of power modules are respectively disposed on one side wall of the power socket and exposed to the power socket, and each power module can be electrically connected to one of the main power lines.

Preferably, the power socket can be exposed to the outside of one of the locking holes to be disposed in the frame.

Preferably, the power supply base can be a power distribution unit (PDU).

Preferably, the power socket further includes at least one telecommunications transmission line for remotely controlling the power output of the power socket.

Preferably, the power socket further comprises at least one telecommunications connection module, so that at least one electronic device is connected to the external telecommunication network.

Preferably, each power module can conform to the IEC 60320 standard of the International Electrotechnical Commission.

Preferably, the power module may be a combination of electrical connectors of the C13 and C14 type conforming to the International Electrotechnical Commission specifications or an electrical connector of the C19 and C20 type.

Preferably, the frame may be in accordance with the EIA-310-D standard of the Electronic Industries Association (EIA).

Preferably, the distance between the power modules can be 44.45 mm.

In summary, the cabinet provided by the present invention provides the following advantages:

(1) The cabinet of the present invention is designed to facilitate the insertion of the power cord in the vicinity of the electronic device by combining the design of the power socket disposed in the longitudinal direction, and to make the user's cable management more convenient.

(2) The cabinet of the present invention can also indirectly improve the heat dissipation capability of the cabinet because the related wiring of the electronic device can be made undisturbed.

The technical features, contents, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the advantages thereof, can be understood by the present inventors, and the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The subject matter is only for the purpose of illustration and description. It is not intended to be a true proportion and precise configuration after the implementation of the present invention. Therefore, the scope and configuration relationship of the attached drawings should not be interpreted or limited. First described.

The above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the aspects of the invention. The same component symbols are described.

Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 together. As shown in the figure, the cabinet 1 includes a frame body 10, a keyhole portion 11, and a power socket 12. The frame body 10 is composed of a plurality of support stands 101 for placing a plurality of electronic devices 20. The locking hole portion 11 is disposed on the two vertical supporting support frames 101, which may be formed by extending outwardly from the supporting vertical frame 101, or may be additionally installed on the supporting vertical frame The above is not limited here. The power supply base 12 is disposed on the support stand 101 adjacent to the keyhole portion 11.
