Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Technical Field
[0001] The technical field relates to a telecommunication cabinet,
and more particularly relates to a hanging-type telecommunication
cabinet.
Description of Related Art
[0002] Telecommunications is evolving from the 4G to the 5G era.
With the increase of mobile users' demand for network bandwidth and
speed, small cells are commonly utilized to deploy Ultra-Dense
Networks (UDN) in order to meet these heightened requirements.
[0003] The millimeter wave used by 5G technology is susceptible to
interference and interruption, so a larger number of small cells
must be deployed to achieve requisite coverage. In addition, small
cells are usually deployed in densely populated metropolitan areas
where demand is greatest. In order to reduce the amount of space
occupied and avoid interference or interruption, current plans for
5G base stations call for installation in high places such as
telecommunication poles, signal poles, street lamp poles, or
elevated bridges. However, compared to 4G base stations, 5G base
stations have higher power consumption and the overall weight and
volume are larger. Thus, these aspects make it difficult to install
5G base stations at high places.
[0004] In view of the above drawbacks, the inventor proposes this
disclosure based on his expert knowledge and elaborate research in
order to solve the problems in the prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0005] It is an objective of this disclosure to provide a
telecommunication cabinet with a replaceable cabinet door module,
in which the cabinet door module is coupled to the cabinet body
through detachable hinges. Therefore, the purpose of split-type
assembly and quick detachment are achieved to increase the
convenience of installation.
[0006] In order to achieve the objective mentioned above, this
disclosure provides a telecommunication cabinet with replaceable
cabinet door module including a cabinet body, a cabinet door
module, and a detachable hinge. The cabinet body includes a cabinet
and a telecommunication module disposed in the cabinet. The cabinet
door module includes a cabinet door covering the cabinet body
correspondingly and a function module disposed in the cabinet door.
The detachable hinge includes a first shaft seat disposed at one
side of the cabinet, a second shaft seat disposed at one side of
the cabinet door and a pivot shaft. The cabinet door module is
pivotally rotatable with respect to the cabinet through the pivot
shaft inserted to the first shaft seat and the second shaft seat.
The cabinet door module is detachably coupled to the cabinet body
to facilitate replacement.
[0007] It is another objective of this disclosure to provide a
telecommunication cabinet with a replaceable cabinet door module,
in which the telecommunication cabinet is attached to a fixed
object above ground level through brackets. Therefore, the
telecommunication cabinet may not occupy ground space, and the
millimeter wave emitted from the telecommunication cabinet may be
protected from interference by other electronic devices or blocking
by existing buildings and structures.
[0008] Comparing to the related art, the telecommunication cabinet
of this disclosure increases the safety and convenience of
installation and maintenance with its split-type assembly. As
previously stated, the telecommunication cabinet may be attached to
a fixed object at a high point through brackets, where installation
and maintenance are more difficult and dangerous to perform. The
cabinet door module disclosed herein may be quickly connected with
the cabinet body through detachable hinges or may be quickly
detached from the cabinet body so that the cabinet door module may
be easily replaced with other cabinet door modules having other
functions without needing to move or remove the entire cabinet
assembly.

according to actual needs.
[0017] The cabinet door module 20 includes a cabinet door 21
covering the cabinet body 10 correspondingly and a function module
22 disposed in the cabinet door 21. In this embodiment, the
function module 22 is a heat exchange cooling module. In some
embodiments, other different function modules may be disposed in
the cabinet door 21 for the cabinet door module 20 having different
functions.
[0018] As shown in FIG. 1, specifically, the telecommunication
cabinet 1 further includes a pair of clasp locks 40. The couple of
clasp locks 40 are spacedly disposed up and down on the same side
of the cabinet 11 and the cabinet door 21, and the clasp locks 40
are located on the opposite side of the detachable hinges 30. In
addition, the telecommunication cabinet 1 further includes a pair
of brackets 50, and the pair of brackets 50 are connected on the
rear side of the cabinet 11. The telecommunications cabinet 1 is
attached to a fixed object 2 through the pair of brackets 50. The
fixed object 2 may be a supporting pole such as a telecommunication
pole, a signal pole, a street lamp pole, or an elevated bridge,
etc. Therefore, the telecommunications cabinet 1 may not occupy
ground space, and the millimeter waves emitted from the
telecommunications cabinet 1 may be prevented from interfering by
other electronic devices or blocking by the building.
[0019] It should be noted that when the telecommunications cabinet
1 is attached to the fixed object 2, the cabinet body 10 is fixed
by the pair of brackets 50 and the cabinet door module 20 is
coupled to the cabinet body 10 through the detachable hinge 30 so
as to achieve split-type assembly, and the convenience and safety
of installation at high-altitude is enhanced.
[0020] Please refer to FIG. 2. In this embodiment, the cabinet 11
further includes a convex plate 111 disposed on a top of the
cabinet 11. The convex plate 111 protrudes to top of the cabinet
door module 20, and a gap 110 is disposed between the convex plate
111 and the cabinet door module 20 (such as the convex plate 111
and the cabinet door module 20 are spaced apart with the gap 110).
The gap 110 may be used for heat dissipation, and the convex plate
111 may shield the cabinet door module 20 to prevent rain or
external objects from falling into the cabinet door module 20.
Thus, the service life of the door module 20 may be extended.
[0021] Please further refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, which depict a
perspective exploded schematic view of the telecommunication
cabinet of this disclosure and a combination schematic view of the
detachable hinge of this disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the
detachable hinge 30 includes a first shaft seat 31 disposed on one
side of the cabinet 11, a second shaft seat 32 disposed on one side
of the cabinet door 21 and a pivot shaft 33. Preferably, a number
of the detachable hinge 30 is two. The pair of detachable hinges 30
are spacedly disposed up and down on the same side of the cabinet
11 and the cabinet door 21. Moreover, the cabinet door module 20 is
pivotally rotatable with respect to the cabinet 11 through the
pivot shaft 33 inserted to the first shaft seat 31 and the second
shaft seat 32. The cabinet door module 20 is detachably coupled to
the cabinet body 10 to facilitate replacement.
[0022] Please refer to FIG. 4. The detachable hinge 30 further
includes a first supporting seat 311 connected to the first shaft
seat 31 and a second supporting seat 321 connected to the second
shaft seat 32. Furthermore, the second shaft seat 32 is stacked on
the first shaft seat 31 when the cabinet door module 20 is coupled
to the cabinet body 10. The arrangement of the first supporting
seat 311 and the second supporting seat 321 may respectively
provide supporting force for the first shaft seat 31 and the second
shaft seat 32 to compensate the force exerted during the pivot
shaft 33 being inserted in the first shaft seat 31 and the second
shaft seat 32.
[0023] Furthermore, the first shaft seat 31 includes a first blind
hole 310, and the second shaft seat 32 includes a second blind hole
320. The pivot shaft 33 is inserted in a shaft hole configured by
the first blind hole 310 and the second blind hole 320. Therefore,
the cabinet door module 20 is connected with the cabinet body 10
through the detachable hinge 30. Similarly, when the cabinet door
module 20 is being detached from the cabinet body 10, the cabinet
door module 20 may be separated from the cabinet body 10 through
the detachable hinge 30.
[0024] It is worth noting that in this embodiment, the
telecommunications cabinet 1 further includes a blocking screw 60.
The blocking screw 60 is disposed on an upper side of the second
shaft seat 32 located on lower position so as to prevent the second
shaft seat 32 from being detached from the first shaft seat 31. The
blocking screw 60 may prevent the cabinet door module 20 from
accidentally falling off due to wind blowing (also refer to FIG.
2), or prevent the cabinet door module 20 from being stolen because
the cabinet door module 20 may be easily separated from the cabinet
body 10.
[0025] Moreover, the separation method of the detachable hinge 30
is described as below. When the cabinet door module 20 is being
separated from the cabinet body 10, the second shaft seat 32 is
detached from the first shaft seat 31 longitudinally (in the
vertical direction). At this time, since the blocking screw 60 is
arranged on the upper side of the second shaft seat 32, the second
shaft seat 32 may not be removed from the first shaft seat 31
before the blocking screw 60 is removed. Accordingly, the cabinet
door module 20 may not be separated from the cabinet body 10 with
the blocking screw 60 attached.
[0026] Although this disclosure has been described with reference
to the preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood that the
invention is not limited to the details thereof. Various
substitutions and improvements have been suggested in the foregoing
description, and others will occur to those of ordinary skill in
the art. Therefore, all such substitutions and improvements are
intended to be embraced within the scope of the invention as
defined in the appended claims.
