[0037] Figure 1 This is the POE switch 1 with waterproof function described in the embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the POE switch 1 includes: a first shell part 10 and a second shell part 20 connected to each other, the first shell part 10 is integrally formed, and the part facing the second shell part 20 is open, and the rest of the part is closed, the second shell part 20 is a flip-cover structure, and the second shell part 20 is embedded in the opening of the first shell part 10 through a nested structure.

[0038] Specifically, the first housing portion 10 of the POE switch 1 is integrally formed to ensure waterproof tightness and normal operation in outdoor environments. The mainboard of the POE switch 1 can be placed in the first housing portion 10, and the power module, transceiver, and cables of the POE switch 1 can be placed in the second housing portion 20. At the same time, the first housing portion 10 and the second housing portion 20 are embedded in each other, so that the overall waterproofness is good. In addition, the second housing portion 20 has a flip-cover structure, which is convenient for wiring, line replacement, and later maintenance. Therefore, in this way, the body of the POE switch 1 itself has a waterproof function, which can be well adapted to the requirements of front installation. This solves the technical problem that the existing POE switch itself does not have a waterproof function when there is a front installation requirement in the prior art.

[0039] Further, Figure 2 Another structural schematic diagram of the POE switch 1 is shown. Figure 3 A partial enlarged view of the second housing part 20 is shown. Figure 4 Another structural schematic diagram of the second housing portion 20 is shown. Figure 5 Another structural schematic diagram of the second housing portion 20 is shown. Figure 7 A partial enlarged view of the upper cover 220 is shown. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 7As shown, the second housing part 20 of the POE switch 1 includes a second housing body 210 and an upper cover 220. A first buckle structure 221 is provided on one side of the upper cover 220, a second buckle structure 211 corresponding to the first buckle structure 221 of the upper cover 220 is provided on one side of the second housing body 210, and the upper cover 220 is buckled with the second buckle structure 211 of the second housing body 210 through the first buckle structure 221. Both the first buckle structure 221 and the second buckle structure 211 are sliding buckles. An axis structure 222 is provided on the other side of the upper cover 220, a third buckle structure 212 is provided on the other side of the second housing body 210, and the upper cover 220 is buckled with the third buckle structure 212 of the second housing body 210 through the axis structure 222.

[0040] Specifically, one side of the second housing body 210 and one side of the upper cover 220 adopt an up-and-down slidable snap-on connection structure, and the other side of the second housing body 210 and the other side of the upper cover 220 adopt a movable shaft design to realize an opening and closing cover method that can move up and down, so as to improve the upper and lower split nesting structure. The method of opening and closing the upper cover 220 is: pull down the upper cover 220 and then open it to the right. In addition, the first snap-on structure 221 of the upper cover 220, the axis structure 222 and the shell of the upper cover 220 are made of the same material and are integrally formed, without the need for additional processing of the axis structure.

[0041] Further, Figure 6 A partial enlarged view of the third buckle structure 212 is shown. Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of the second housing portion 20 is shown. Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 8 As shown, the third buckle structure 212 includes: a large buckle structure 2121 located at the bottom, a small buckle structure 2123 located at the bottom and placed on the same side as the large buckle structure 2121, and a perfect circular buckle structure 2122 located at the top. Specifically, when the upper cover 220 is in the open state, the small buckle structure 2123 is used to prevent the axis structure 222 from escaping from the third buckle structure 212, and the large buckle structure 2121 is used to fix the axis structure 222, so that the upper cover 220 is stably in the open state. And, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the axis structure 222 adopts an elliptical design, the buckle position adopts a staggered structure, and the circle is closed. Therefore, when the upper cover 220 is opened and closed, the cross section of the axis structure 222 and the third buckle structure 212 realizes physical damping and buffering, which is suitable for installation and implementation, and increases the service life of the POE switch 1.

[0042] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the second housing body 210 is provided with a wire management frame structure 213. The wire management frame structure 213 is an integrated design, so that the POE switch 1 does not need an external wire management frame structure. The wire management frame structure 213 separates the second housing body 210 into a first load compartment 214 and a second load compartment 215. Specifically, in combination with Figure 4 as well as Fig. 9 As shown, the second carrier compartment 215 is used to carry the power module 30, and the first carrier compartment 214 can be used to carry the transceiver. In addition, a detachable card board 2141 is provided in the first carrier compartment 214. When the transceiver is not required to be installed, the card board can prevent insects. When the transceiver is installed, the card board is removed so that the transceiver power supply can be inserted into the card board 2141. This saves the inner room space of the first carrier compartment 214 to the maximum extent. In addition, an installation card structure 2142 is also provided in the first carrier compartment 214 to fix the position of the transceiver.

[0043] Further, Fig. 9 A schematic structural diagram of the second housing body 210 and the power module 30 is shown. Fig.10 A schematic structural diagram of the first housing portion 10 is shown. Fig.11 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram showing the power module 30 after being inserted into the first housing portion 10 .

In addition, referring to Fig. 9 As shown, the second carrier compartment 215 is an open frame 2151 at the portion facing the first housing portion 10, and a threaded hole 21511 is disposed at the top of the open frame 2151. Fig.10 As shown, the portion of the first housing portion 10 facing the second carrying compartment 215 is an insert-type installation structure 110 .

[0044] Furthermore, combined with Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.12 as well as Fig.13As shown, the power module 30 adopts an independent design and is installed using a plug-in structure. Specifically, it can be installed in the following way: the upper part of the power module 30 is inserted into the plug-in installation structure 110 of the first housing part 10 through the plug-in structure 310, and the lower part of the power module 30 is inserted into the opening frame 2151 of the first housing part 10, and the screw is connected with the threaded hole 21511 of the opening frame 2151 through the fixed clamping structure 320. Therefore, the power module 30 adopts a multiple clamping design, so that the connection structure of the power module 30 is more stable.

[0045] Furthermore, combined with Fig. 9 , Fig.12 as well as Fig.13 As shown, the power module 30 is also provided with a spring clip retaining structure 330. After the power module 30 is inserted into the opening frame 2151 of the second carrier compartment 215, the spring clip retaining structure 330 can prevent the power module 30 from falling out, further ensuring the stability of the structure. At the same time, the power module 30 is combined with a large-area pure aluminum heat dissipation backplane window and adopts a plug-in installation method with the plug-in installation structure 110 of the first shell part 10, which ensures the stability of the structure while also having good heat dissipation, so that the POE switch 1 can operate stably. In addition, the second carrier compartment 215 can also adapt to the embedded installation of an independent 400W high-power power module 30, which is convenient for maintenance. Among them, refer to Figure 2 As shown, a baffle structure 2153 is also provided on the top of the second carrying compartment 215 . When the 400W high-power power module 30 is embedded and installed, the baffle structure 2153 can be used to fix the 400W high-power power module 30 .

[0046] Further, Fig.14 A partial enlarged view of the second housing body 210 is shown. Fig.16 Another structural diagram of the POE switch 1 is shown. Fig.14 as well as Fig.16 As shown, a fan 2152 is disposed in the second carrier compartment 215 to enhance heat dissipation.

[0047] Further, Fig.15 Another partial enlarged view of the second housing body 210 is shown. Specifically, the second housing body 20 is provided with a drainage structure 230. The drainage structure 230 may be a drainage hole 230. When the cable management rack structure 213 encounters a rainstorm, rainwater flowing along the cable can be discharged through the drainage hole 230. In addition, the second housing body 20 is also provided with a water blocking plate 240 for preventing rainwater from penetrating into the second housing body 210.

[0048] Further, Fig.17 Another structural diagram of the POE switch 1 is shown. Fig.17As shown, a groove 40 is provided at the back of the POE switch 1. A first water baffle 410 is provided at one end of the groove 40, and a second water baffle 420 is provided at the other end of the groove 40, and the structure of the first water baffle 410 and the second water baffle 420 is a detachable structure. Specifically, a groove 40 is reserved at the back of the POE switch 1 for wire tube installation, which can support two wire entry modes of upper / lower. When the wire is entered, the first water baffle 410 and the second water baffle 420 are removed. Through this structure, functions such as rainwater diversion and rodent prevention can be achieved.

[0049] Furthermore, combined with Figure 2 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 , Fig.17 as well as Fig.18 As shown, the back of the POE switch 1 is provided with a hanging hole base 50. The hanging hole bases 50 are respectively provided at the four corners of the back of the POE switch 1. The back of the POE switch 1 is also provided with a mounting position 60 for placing a clamp ring. And the top of the POE switch 1 is provided with an ear-hanging mounting structure 70. Therefore, the POE switch 1 supports four installation modes: ear-hanging wall mounting, hidden wall mounting, pole mounting and desktop mode.

[0050] Further, Fig.19 FIG. 2 shows another structural schematic diagram of the second housing body 210. Fig.19 As shown, the second housing body 210 is also provided with an RJ45 socket position 217 and reserved positions 216 respectively provided on both sides of the RJ45 socket position 217. The reserved positions 216 can be set to corresponding socket positions according to different types of switches.

In addition, the second housing body 210 is also provided with a port indicator light 218 and an embedded structural board 219.

[0051] also, Fig. 20 A partial enlarged view of the POE switch 1 is shown. Fig.19 as well as Fig. 20 As shown, the upper cover of the first housing portion 10 is fixed to the embedded structural plate 219 by reinforcing ribs 120. This ensures that the upper cover panel is not hollow, does not sink, and has a stable structure. Similarly, the top, middle, left and back of the POE switch 1 are all designed with reinforcing ribs, which are stable in structure and can bear weight and resist falling.

[0052] It should be further supplemented that, for example but not limited to, the embedded connection between the first housing portion 10 and the second housing portion 20 can be a silicone seam waterproofing method. Similarly, the second housing portion body 210 and the upper cover 220 of the second housing portion 20 can be connected by a movable sling type structure.

[0053] Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention adopts a standardized shell, which is beautiful and generous, and the mainboard chamber is integrally formed, and the overall indoor / outdoor waterproof design is realized. Furthermore, the industrial shell design is adopted, which is simple to operate, convenient to connect, and saves man-hours.
