The most common switch is the Ethernet switch. Other common switches include telephone voice switches, fiber optic switches, etc.

[0003] However, the existing computer network switches may have poor contact between connectors during long-term use, so that workers need to inspect the interfaces. Since dust in the air can enter the interfaces and the interfaces are small, it is not convenient for workers to clean the dust at the interfaces. If they are not cleaned, the effect of signal transmission of the switch body during use will be affected. At the same time, the existing computer network switches are generally placed horizontally, that is, the angle of the switch does not change when the staff inspects the switch body, which makes it difficult for the staff to inspect the switch body interface. Summary of the invention

[0012] Specifically, a connecting block is fixedly connected to the joint, a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the connecting block, a rack is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, and a gear is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft.

[0013] Specifically, a liquid storage cavity is provided in the support plate, a top end of the liquid storage cavity is fixedly connected to a heat conducting block, and the heat conducting block is located below the switch body.

[0014] Specifically, the material of the heat conductive block is a heat conductive material.

[0015] Specifically, a fixing rod is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, a baffle is fixedly connected below the fixing rod, the baffle is movably connected above the supporting plate, and heat dissipation holes are formed on the baffle.

[0016] Specifically, a locking rod is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the connecting block, a locking hole is opened on the top end surface of the moving block facing downward, and the lower end of the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole.

[0017] Specifically, a rubber locking ring is fixedly connected to the circumferential outer side wall of the locking rod.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0019] 1: By fixing the airbag bag in the accommodating groove of the fixed plate, the gas in the airbag bag is discharged through the air outlet during the squeezing of the airbag bag, so that the dust in the interface is blown to the outside, that is, the purpose of cleaning the interface is achieved. The staff manually pushes the connecting block to move the connecting block, and the airbag bag is squeezed during the movement of the connecting block, so that the gas in the airbag bag is discharged to the interface through the soft tube and the air outlet. At the same time, because the air outlet is arranged toward the outside of the interface, the dust in the interface is blown to the outside through the gas in the air outlet, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the dust in the interface.

[0020] 2: By fixing the rubber elastic column on the connecting block, the resetting movement of the connecting block is facilitated. At the same time, when the joint is inserted into the interface, the rubber elastic column is used to tighten the joint to prevent the joint from loosening in the interface.

[0021] 3: By rotating the switch body and connecting it to the side wall of the support block, it is convenient to adjust the angle of the switch body so that the interface of the switch body is set upward, which is convenient for the staff to inspect and repair the switch body. When the connector is detached from the interface, continue to manually push the connection block. Since the connection block is fixedly connected to the connecting rod, the connecting rod moves during the movement of the connection block. Since the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the rack, the rack moves during the movement of the connecting rod. When the rack and the gear are meshed, the gear rotates. During the rotation of the gear, the rotating shaft rotates. Since the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the switch body, the switch body rotates during the rotation of the rotating shaft, and the interface of the switch body moves upward, which is convenient for the staff to inspect and troubleshoot the interface.

[0030] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a computer network switch of the present invention comprises a switch body 1 and a support plate 2;

[0032] The upper surface of the support plate 2 is symmetrically fixedly connected with a support block 3, and both ends of the switch body 1 are fixedly connected with a rotating shaft 4, and one end of the rotating shaft 4 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the support block 3;

[0033] An interface 5 is provided on the side wall of the switch body 1, a fixing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support plate 2, a receiving groove 7 is provided on the upper surface of the fixing plate 6 facing downward, an air bag 8 is fixedly connected in the receiving groove 7, a one-way valve 9 is fixedly connected to the air inlet end of the air bag 8, a moving block 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the air bag 8, the moving block 10 is elastically connected in the receiving groove 7, and a connector 11 is plugged into one end of the moving block 10;

[0034] An air outlet hole 12 is provided on the side wall of the interface 5 . The air outlet hole 12 is arranged toward the outside of the interface 5 , and the air outlet hole 12 is communicated with the airbag bag 8 .

[0035] A rubber elastic column 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the receiving groove 7 , and one end of the rubber elastic column 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 10 . The moving block 10 is elastically connected to the receiving groove 7 through the action of the rubber elastic column 13 .

[0036] The rubber elastic column 13 is made of rubber elastic material.

[0037] The air outlet hole 12 is connected to the airbag bag 8 via a soft tube 14 , and the soft tube 14 facilitates the connection between the air outlet hole 12 and the airbag bag 8 .

[0038] A connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the joint 11, a connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 15, a rack 17 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16, and a gear 18 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4. The connecting block 15 moves during the movement of the joint 11. Since the connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16, the connecting rod 16 moves during the movement of the connecting block 15, and then the rack 17 moves through the connecting rod 16. When the rack 17 moves toward the gear 18 and acts with the gear 18, the gear 18 rotates. During the rotation of the gear 18, the rotating shaft 4 rotates. Since one end of the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the switch body 1, the angle of the switch body 1 is adjusted during the rotation of the rotating shaft 4.

[0039] A liquid storage cavity 19 is defined in the support plate 2 , and a heat conducting block 20 is fixedly connected to the top of the liquid storage cavity 19 . The heat conducting block 20 is located below the switch body 1 .

[0040] The material of the heat conductive block 20 is a heat conductive material, and the liquid storage cavity 19 is filled with coolant. Since one end of the heat conductive block 20 is located in the liquid storage cavity 19, and the other end of the heat conductive block 20 is located on the outside of the support plate 2, the lower temperature of the liquid storage cavity 19 is transmitted to the top of the heat conductive block 20 through the heat conductive block 20, thereby achieving heat dissipation at the bottom of the switch body 1.

[0041] A fixing rod 21 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16, a baffle 22 is fixedly connected below the fixing rod 21, the baffle 22 is movably connected above the support plate 2, a heat dissipation hole 23 is opened on the baffle 22, the movement of the baffle 22 is achieved during the movement of the connecting rod 16, and when the heat dissipation hole 23 is located above the heat conductive block 20, the lower temperature of the liquid storage chamber 19 is easily transferred to the top of the baffle 22.

[0042] A locking rod 24 is fixedly connected to the lower end surface of the connecting block 15 , and a locking hole 25 is formed on the top end surface of the moving block 10 facing downward, and the lower end of the locking rod 24 is inserted into the locking hole 25 .

[0043] A rubber locking ring 26 is fixedly connected to the circumferential outer wall of the locking rod 24. When the connector 11 needs to be fixed to the moving block 10, the staff inserts the locking rod 24 and the rubber locking ring 26 into the locking hole 25, and the rubber locking ring 26 is locked in the locking hole 25 through the locking rod 24, thereby fixing the connector 11 above the moving block 10; when the connector 11 needs to be detached from the moving block 10, the locking rod 24 is manually pulled upwards, and when the locking rod 24 is detached from the locking hole 25, the connector 11 is detached from the moving block 10.

[0044] Working principle: When the interface 5 of the switch body 1 needs to be inspected and repaired, the staff manually pushes the connecting block 15 to move the connecting block 15. In the process of moving the connecting block 15, the air bag 8 is squeezed, and the gas in the air bag 8 is discharged to the interface 5 through the soft tube 14 and the air outlet 12. At the same time, since the air outlet 12 is arranged toward the outside of the interface 5, the dust in the interface 5 is blown to the outside through the gas in the air outlet 12, so as to achieve the purpose of cleaning the dust in the interface 5. Since a one-way valve 9 is provided at the air inlet end of the air bag 8, the gas in the air bag 8 is not allowed to be discharged from the air inlet end of the air bag 8 to the outside during the squeezing of the air bag 8.

[0045] When the connector 11 is disengaged from the interface 5, continue to manually push the connecting block 15. Since the connecting block 15 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 16, the connecting rod 16 moves during the movement of the connecting block 15. Since the connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the rack 17, the rack 17 moves during the movement of the connecting rod 16. When the rack 17 meshes with the gear 18, the gear 18 rotates. During the rotation of the gear 18, the rotating shaft 4 rotates. Since the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the switch body 1, the switch body 1 rotates during the rotation of the rotating shaft 4, and the interface 5 of the switch body 1 moves upward, thereby facilitating the staff to inspect and troubleshoot the interface 5.

[0046] In this process, since the connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the baffle 22 through the fixing rod 21, the baffle 22 is moved during the movement of the connecting rod 16, and the heat conductive block 20 is completely shielded by the baffle 22 to prevent dust blown to the outside from the interface 5 from drifting to the top of the heat conductive block 20, thereby affecting the heat conductive block 20 to transfer the lower temperature in the liquid storage chamber 19.

[0047] After the staff inspects and troubleshoots the interface 5, they manually loosen the connecting block 15. Due to the elastic force of the rubber elastic column 13, the connecting block 15 is reset, that is, the connector 11 moves toward the interface 5. Before the connector 11 is in contact with the interface 5, the connecting rod 16 moves during the movement of the connecting block 15, and the rack 17 moves during the movement of the connecting rod 16. When the rack 17 meshes with the gear 18 during the movement of the rack 17, the rotating shaft 4 rotates during the rotation of the gear 18. Since the rotating shaft 4 is fixedly connected to the switch body 1, the switch body 1 rotates during the rotation of the rotating shaft 4 until the switch body 1 rotates to a horizontal state, and the rack 17 disengages from the gear 18.

[0048] The connecting block 15 continues to move until the connector 11 is inserted into the interface 5 . At the same time, due to the tightening effect of the rubber elastic column 13 , the connector 11 is tightened into the interface 5 to prevent the connector 11 from loosening in the interface 5 .

[0049] During this process, the airbag bag 8 is always in a relaxed state, so that external gas can enter the interior of the airbag bag 8 through the air inlet end of the airbag bag 8, thereby achieving the effect of replenishing gas to the airbag bag 8.

[0050] At the same time, during the movement of the connecting block 15, since the connecting rod 16 is fixedly connected to the baffle 22, the baffle 22 is moved during the movement of the connecting rod 16, so that the heat dissipation hole 23 is finally aligned with the heat conductive block 20, which is convenient for transferring the heat in the liquid storage cavity 19 and realizing the heat dissipation at the bottom of the switch body 1 when it is working.

[0051] The above shows and describes the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may have various changes and improvements, which fall within the scope of the present invention.
