[0027] Furthermore, the present invention provides a sufficiently large ventilating opening by arranging a plurality of ventilation slots 4 on the protective housing 2, so that the heat generated by the internal components of the router body 1 when working can be discharged in time through the ventilation slots 4, thereby ensuring the normal transmission of the router device signal; on the other hand, by arranging the outer baffle 6, the two sets of hinged beams 18 and the plurality of grilles 19 for use together, the plurality of ventilation slots 4 can be blocked in time in a rainy environment to prevent rainwater from penetrating into the interior of the router, thereby ensuring that the router body 1 can work normally in rainy days;

[0028] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, a storage cavity is provided in the middle of the upper end of the router body 1, and a driving device is installed in the storage cavity. The driving device includes a screw rod 13 and a motor 14. The screw rod 13 is vertically installed in the middle of the storage cavity, one end of the screw rod 13 is rotatably installed on the upper end wall of the storage cavity through a bearing, and the other end of the screw rod 13 is coaxially fixed with the output end of the motor 14, and the rear end cover of the motor 14 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of the storage cavity;

[0029] Furthermore, a rain sensor is also provided outside the protective housing 2, and the rain sensor is connected to the motor 14 through a controller;

[0030] Specifically, when encountering a rainy environment, the rain sensor is triggered and controls the motor 14 to start, so that the motor 14 rotates counterclockwise, and under the screwing action of the internal and external threads, the connecting plate 12 moves downward;

[0031] A connecting plate 12 is also screwed on the lead screw 13, and both ends of the connecting plate 12 are rotatably connected to a group of connecting plates 11, and one end of the connecting plate 11 away from the connecting plate 12 is rotatably connected to a group of push plates 10, and each group of push plates 10 is provided with a push block 7 on both sides of the front and rear, and the push block 7 is limitedly slidably installed in the storage cavity, and the ends of the multiple push blocks 7 away from the push plates 10 extend out of the top of the protective housing 2 and are fixedly connected to the outer baffle 6;

[0032] Specifically, when the connecting plate 12 moves downward, the connecting plates 11 at both ends thereof will drive the two sets of push plates 10 to move horizontally toward each other;

[0033] Similarly, when the connecting plate 12 moves upward, the connecting plates 11 at both ends thereof will drive the two sets of push plates 10 to move horizontally in opposite directions;

[0034] Each push block 7 is provided with a driving groove 8 which is a Z-shaped groove. A lever 9 inserted into the driving groove 8 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the push plate 10. A tooth plate 15 is provided at one end of the push plate 10 away from the connecting plate 11. The tooth plate 15 and the push plate 10 are located on the same water surface line.

[0035] The upper end surface of the router body 1 is provided with two groups of rectangular grooves symmetrical to the storage cavity, each tooth plate 15 is limitedly slidably installed in one group of rectangular grooves, and one end of the tooth plate 15 away from the push plate 10 is fixedly connected to two groups of springs 16, and the push plate 10 extends into the rectangular groove and pushes the tooth plate 15;

[0036] Furthermore, the present invention can convert the rotational motion of the screw rod 13 into the linear up-and-down motion of the outer baffle 6 and the synchronous deflection motion of the two sets of hinged beams 18 by arranging the push block 7, the driving slot 8, the lever 9, the push plate 10, the connecting plate 11, the connecting plate 12, the tooth plate 15, the spring 16 and the spur gear 17 for use in conjunction with each other, so as to achieve a mechanical linkage effect, so that the multiple grilles 19 and the outer baffle 6 can be opened or closed in an orderly manner, and the coordination is more flexible;

[0037] The upper end of the toothed plate 15 is meshedly connected with a spur gear 17, a central shaft is fixedly inserted into the inner part of the end of the hinged beam 18 away from the grille 19, the central shaft is rotatably mounted on the protective housing 2, and an opening for accommodating the spur gear 17 is provided in the middle of the hinged beam 18, and the spur gear 17 is fixedly sleeved outside the central shaft;

[0038] The number of grilles 19 is the same as the number of ventilation slots 4. The grilles 19 are L-shaped, and the outer wall of the grilles 19 is protrudingly provided with a convex edge. Each group of ventilation slots 4 is concavely provided with a snap-fitting groove for accommodating the convex edge.

[0039] Specifically, by providing the convex edge and the engaging groove for use, the grille 19 and the ventilation slot 4 can be more tightly buckled, further improving the waterproof performance;

[0040] Specifically, when the two sets of push plates 10 move toward each other, the push plates 10 will first release the pushing force on the toothed plates 15, so that the two sets of toothed plates 15 also move toward each other in a straight line under the elastic force of the springs 16, and the toothed plates 15 act on the spur gears 17, so that the two sets of hinged beams 18 drive the grilles 19 to flip downward and be clamped in the ventilation slots 4. At the same time, the lever 9 on the push plate 10 slides into the inclined part of the driving slot 8, so that the push block 7 is forced to drive the outer baffle 6 to move downward and fit on the upper end surfaces of the two sets of hinged beams 18;

[0041] like Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 As shown, a group of support legs 3 are fixedly installed at both ends of the bottom of the protective shell 2, and the height of the support legs 3 is set to be greater than the overall height of the heat dissipation unit assembly. The heat dissipation unit assembly includes a fixed cylinder 20, a plug 21, a pull rod 22, a spring 23 and an arc plate 24. The fixed cylinder 20 is fixedly inserted in the auxiliary opening 5. The fixed cylinder 20 is provided with a wide mouth and a column cavity from top to bottom. A partition plate is horizontally placed between the wide mouth and the column cavity. A circular hole for accommodating the pull rod 22 is provided in the middle of the partition plate. A plurality of heat dissipation holes are distributed in a circular array on the partition plate. One end of the pull rod 22 is fixedly connected to the plug 21, and the other end of the pull rod 22 passes through the spring 23 and the circular hole and extends into the column cavity to be fixedly connected to the arc plate 24. A sponge ball 25 is fixedly bonded to the inner wall surface of the arc plate 24.

[0042] Furthermore, by providing a plurality of auxiliary openings 5, the ventilation openings of the router body 1 can be further enlarged, and by providing a fixed cylinder 20, a plug 21, a pull rod 22, a spring 23 and an arc plate 24 for use in combination, the auxiliary openings 5 ​​can be selectively opened or closed, thereby taking into account both ventilation and heat dissipation effects and rainproof performance;

[0043] Specifically, in a rainless environment, the plug 21 is stationary on the top of the fixed cylinder 20 under the elastic force of the spring 23. At this time, the interior of the fixed cylinder 20 is connected, and the heat inside the router body 1 can flow out normally through the auxiliary opening 5. When encountering a rainy environment, the sponge ball 25 at the bottom of the arc plate 24 continuously absorbs water and bears weight. Under the pulling force of gravity, the plug 21 squeezes the spring 23 to move downward and fits to the bottom of the wide mouth, thereby blocking and shielding the auxiliary opening 5 to prevent rainwater from entering.

[0044] When the present invention is in use: in a normal rainless environment, the outer baffle 6 moves upward, and the two sets of hinged beams 18 drive the multiple grilles 19 to flip upward, as shown in the attached figure. Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the multiple ventilation slots 4 and the auxiliary openings 5 ​​are all in an open state, and the heat generated inside the router body 1 when working can flow out through these ventilation slots in time to maintain a normal working environment temperature;

[0045] When encountering a rainy environment, the rain sensor is triggered and controls the motor 14 to start, causing the motor 14 to rotate counterclockwise, and under the rotational action of the internal and external threads, the connecting plate 12 moves downward, and the connecting plates 11 at both ends thereof drive the two sets of push plates 10 to move horizontally toward each other. When the two sets of push plates 10 move toward each other, the push plates 10 will first release the driving force on the toothed plates 15, so that the two sets of toothed plates 15 also move linearly toward each other under the elastic force of the springs 16, and the toothed plates 15 act on the spur gears 17, so that the two sets of hinged beams 18 drive the grilles 19 to flip downward and be clamped in the ventilation groove 4. At the same time, the lever 9 on the push plate 10 slides into the inclined part of the driving groove 8, so that the push block 7 is forced to drive the outer baffle 6 to move downward and fit on the upper end surfaces of the two sets of hinged beams 18. Figure 1 As shown, the device body is in a sealed state, rainwater will not enter the device, and it has good waterproof performance.

[0046] The above generally describes the present invention in detail, but it is obvious to a person skilled in the art that some modifications or improvements can be made to the present invention. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
