[0002] Edge computing refers to the use of an open platform that integrates network, computing, and application core capabilities to provide the nearest service on the side close to the source of objects or data. Its application is initiated on the edge side to generate faster network service response. The basic principle of edge computing is that computing should be processed close to the data source to reduce the distance and time of data transmission, improve processing speed and reduce latency.

[0003] As announced as CN218352635U, the Chinese patent named "An Edge Computing Gateway Device" includes a device housing; a device body is arranged on the inner side of the device housing, a heat conductive sheet is fixedly installed on the upper end of the device body, and multiple groups of heat conductive sheets are fixedly installed, an exhaust assembly is arranged on the upper end of the device housing, a heat dissipation assembly is arranged on the bottom end of the device housing, a terminal connector is arranged on the outer side of the device housing, a signal antenna is arranged on the outer side of the device housing, an input line is arranged on the outer side of the device housing, and an output line is arranged on the outer side of the device housing; the edge computing gateway device only requires air to enter the interior of the device housing from the heat dissipation assembly, and the device body is heat-conducted through the heat conductive sheet, thereby realizing effective heat dissipation of the edge computing gateway device.

[0004] The shortcomings of the above patent are that when the air circulates inside the device casing, the flow of air will cause a large amount of dust to accumulate at the vents.

At the same time, dust will enter the inside of the device casing. When dust adheres to electronic components, it will affect the normal operation of the device. Summary of the invention

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0029] See also Figure 1-8 An edge computing device provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a device housing 1 and two cold solidification plates 2 fixed to the top of the device housing 1, a condensation tube 3 is fixedly connected to the middle of the cold solidification plate 2, and the condensation tube 3 is coiled and fixedly connected to the middle of the cold solidification plate 2;

[0030] A cooling element is provided on the top of the device housing 1, and the cooling element is used to cool the condenser tube 3 so as to cool the interior of the device housing 1;

[0031] A plurality of drainage members are arranged on the side of the device housing 1 , and the drainage members are used to collect water drops on the condenser tube 3 to ensure the safety of the interior of the device housing 1 .

[0032] In the above technical scheme, the condenser 3 is cooled by the cooling component, so that the condenser 3 extends to the inside of the device casing 1 for cooling, thereby preventing dust from entering the inside of the device casing 1 and avoiding the accumulation of dust in the vents, which in turn causes the fan to be unable to normally cool the inside of the device casing 1. At the same time, dust is prevented from adhering to the electronic components inside the device casing 1, thereby ensuring that the edge computing device can run for a long time. The water droplets generated on the outer wall of the condenser 3 are collected and discharged by the drainage component, thereby ensuring that when the cooling component is working, the water droplets generated by the condenser 3 will not fall on the electronic components, thereby causing damage to the electronic components, thereby ensuring that the operation of the electronic components will not be affected while cooling.

[0033] Specifically, the cooling component includes a fixed rotating column 401, which is fixedly connected to the top of the equipment housing 1, and a rotating motor column 402 is rotatably connected to the middle part of the fixed rotating column 401. A plurality of rotating blades 403 are fixedly connected to the side of the rotating motor column 402 close to the condenser 3. The rotating blades 403 are arranged in a circular shape and fixedly connected to the side of the rotating motor column 402, and a rotating belt plate 404 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating motor column 402 away from the condenser 3.

[0034] In the above technical solution, the rotating motor column 402 is rotated to drive the rotating fan blades 403 to rotate, thereby generating airflow to cool the condenser tube 3.

[0035] Specifically, the cooling component also includes a liquid flow storage box 408, which is fixedly connected to the top of the equipment housing 1. The liquid flow storage box 408 is internally rotatably connected to a spiral column 407. The end of the spiral column 407 away from the condenser 3 is fixedly connected to a rotating transfer plate 406. The rotating transfer plate 406 is slidably connected to the side of the rotating belt plate 404 by a rotating belt 405. The side of the spiral column 407 is fixedly connected to a spiral ladder plate 409.

[0036] In the above technical solution, the rotating transmission plate 406 can be connected with the rotation of the rotating belt plate 404 by rotating the belt 405, so that the rotation speed of the rotating motor column 402 can control the rotation speed of the spiral ladder plate 409, thereby ensuring that the rotation speed of the rotating fan blades 403 and the flow rate of the condensate can be synchronized, so that the lowered temperature can be controlled.

[0037] Specifically, the condenser 3 extends into the interior of the device housing 1, and a fixed through-block 501 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity side of the device housing 1. The condenser 3 passes through and is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixed through-block 501. The condenser 3 surrounds the interior of the device housing 1 once and then extends out from the interior of the device housing 1.

[0038] In the above technical solution, the condenser tube 3 is fixed around the inside of the device housing 1 so that the condensate can flow around the inside of the device housing 1, thereby allowing the condensate to cool the inside of the device housing 1.

[0039] Specifically, the drainage component includes two fixed connecting blocks 601, both of which are fixedly connected to the side of the equipment housing 1, the inner sides of the two fixed connecting blocks 601 are fixedly connected with a rotating connecting column 602, the middle part of the rotating connecting column 602 is rotatably connected with a round-head rotating block 603, both sides of the round-head rotating block 603 are fixedly connected with a torsion spring 604, the other end of the torsion spring 604 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fixed connecting block 601, and the bottom of the round-head rotating block 603 is fixedly connected with a water blocking block 605.

[0040] In the above technical solution, the one-way rotation of the water blocking block 605 and the elastic torsion effect of the torsion spring 604 prevent air from carrying dust into the device housing 1 .

[0041] Specifically, a water collecting inclined plate 502 is fixedly connected to the inner cavity side of the equipment housing 1 , and the water collecting inclined plate 502 is located below the condenser 3 . A drainage groove 61 is opened on the side of the equipment housing 1 , and the water blocking block 605 abuts against the drainage groove 61 .

[0042] In the above technical solution, the water droplets generated by the condenser tube 3 can flow out through the drainage groove 61 to prevent the water droplets from dripping on the electronic components inside the device housing 1.

[0043] Specifically, a water collecting tank block 606 is fixedly connected to the side of the equipment housing 1 , and the water collecting tank block 606 is arranged directly below the drainage tank 61 .

[0044] In the above technical solution, the discharged water droplets can be collected by the water collecting tank block 606 to prevent the devices connected to the outside of the device housing 1 from being affected.

[0045] Specifically, one end of the condenser tube 3 is connected to one end of the liquid storage flow box 408 close to the cold solidification plate 2, and the other end of the condenser tube 3 extends from the inside of the equipment housing 1 and is connected to a side of the liquid storage flow box 408 away from the cold solidification plate 2.

[0046] In the above technical solution, the condensate is circulated and used by connecting the condenser tube 3 with both ends of the liquid storage flow box 408.

[0047] Specifically, the working principle and operation method of the present invention are as follows:

[0048] During use, the operator connects the device housing 1 to the external device and starts the rotating motor column 402 at the same time. The rotating motor column 402 begins to rotate under the restriction of the fixed rotating column 401, thereby driving the rotating belt plate 404 to rotate. The rotating belt plate 404 drives the rotating belt 405 to slide, thereby driving the rotating transmission plate 406 to rotate. The rotating transmission plate 406 drives the spiral rotating column 407 to rotate, thereby driving the spiral ladder plate 409 to rotate inside the liquid storage flow box 408.

[0049] As the spiral ladder plate 409 rotates, the condensate stored in the liquid storage flow box 408 begins to flow, and then enters the interior of the condenser tube 3 through the rotating motor column 402 close to the side of the cold solidification plate 2, and begins to shuttle back and forth along the condenser tube 3 in the middle of the cold solidification plate 2. At the same time, the rotating motor column 402 will drive the rotating fan blades 403 to rotate, and the rotation of the rotating fan blades 403 will generate airflow, thereby cooling the condensate flowing inside the condenser tube 3.

[0050] At this time, the condensed liquid after cooling enters the interior of the equipment housing 1 through the condenser tube 3, and reduces the internal temperature of the equipment housing 1 through the condenser tube 3, thereby achieving the purpose of cooling. As the rotating motor column 402 keeps rotating, the condensed liquid flows out from the interior of the equipment housing 1 through the condenser tube 3. Since the side of the liquid storage flow box 408 away from the cold solidification plate 2 is connected to the condenser tube 3, the condensed liquid flows back into the interior of the liquid storage flow box 408 through the cold solidification plate 2, and then continues to re-enter the condenser tube 3 through the rotation of the spiral ladder plate 409, and continues to be cooled inside the condenser tube 3.

[0051] As the condensate continuously flows in and out from the inside of the equipment housing 1, water droplets gradually form on the outer wall of the condenser tube 3 located inside the equipment housing 1. As the water droplets continue to grow, they fall onto the water collecting inclined plate 502 and move downward along the water collecting inclined plate 502, eventually hitting the side of the inner cavity of the equipment housing 1, and then hitting the side of the water blocking block 605 through the drainage groove 61.

[0052] As the number of water droplets increases, under the action of the weight of the water droplets, the water blocking block 605 will rotate upward around the rotating connecting column 602, and the water blocking block 605 will drive the round head rotating block 603 to rotate upward and twist the torsion spring 604. As the water blocking block 605 no longer conflicts with the drainage groove 61, the water droplets slide from the drainage groove 61 to the inside of the water collecting trough block 606 and are collected inside the water collecting trough block 606.

[0053] As the water drops slide down, the thrust acting on the water blocking block 605 disappears, and then under the elastic torsion action of the torsion spring 604, the round-head rotating block 603 rotates downward around the rotating connecting column 602, thereby driving the water blocking block 605 to rotate downward around the rotating connecting column 602, and the water blocking block 605 hits the drainage groove 61 again, preventing air from carrying dust into the interior of the equipment housing 1.

[0054] The above are only preferred specific implementation modes of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
