Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of algorithm box technology, and in particular to an algorithm box for edge computing. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of edge computing technology, algorithm boxes, as an important edge computing device, play a vital role in many fields such as industrial automation, intelligent transportation, and video surveillance. Algorithm boxes usually integrate high-performance computing units, storage units, and network communication modules for real-time data analysis and processing close to the data source.

[0003] However, as the performance of the computing units integrated in the algorithm box continues to improve, the heat generated also increases, which puts higher requirements on the heat dissipation capacity of the algorithm box, especially when processing computing-intensive tasks. The internal temperature of the algorithm box may rise rapidly, resulting in reduced performance, reduced stability, or even damage to the equipment. The existing heat dissipation methods of the algorithm box include natural cooling and fan cooling. Natural cooling is difficult to ensure the temperature of the algorithm box in a high-temperature environment. Although fan cooling is more efficient than natural heat dissipation in a high-temperature environment during the heat dissipation process, fan cooling simply drives air to flow locally in the algorithm box, resulting in the overall temperature of the algorithm box being very uneven, causing the temperature of the local position of the algorithm box to be too high.

[0006] Preferably, both sides of the shell are provided with heat dissipation grooves for increasing the heat exchange area of ​​the shell.

[0007] Preferably, a groove is provided in the middle of the heat sink to guide the flowing air and change the direction of air flow.

[0008] Preferably, the central axis of the fixed shell coincides with the central point of the shell body, so that air can evenly dissipate heat from the shell body.

[0010] Preferably, the through holes of the fixed grille and the through holes of the sliding grille have the same width, and the through holes of the fixed grille and the through holes of the sliding grille have the same width as the width of the heat sink.

[0011] Preferably, a fixed tube is further included, wherein the fixed tube is embedded in one end of the rotating tube away from the shell, and the distances between the two ends of the fixed tube and the central axis of the rotating tube are the same; symmetrical centrifugal blocks are slidably connected in the fixed tube and are fixedly connected with symmetrical fixed plates; an elastic member is fixedly connected between the fixed plate and the adjacent centrifugal blocks; a first pull rope is slidably connected to the fixed plate, one end of the first pull rope is fixedly connected to the adjacent centrifugal block, and the other end of the first pull rope passes through the fixed tube and is located in the rotating tube.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the centrifugal block is the same as the inner diameter of the fixed tube, and lubricating oil is applied between the centrifugal block and the fixed tube to reduce the friction between the fixed tube and the centrifugal block.

[0013] Preferably, the sum of the tension of the elastic member and the tension of the tension spring between the sliding grille and the fixed grille is smaller than the centrifugal force when the centrifugal block rotates, so as to change the matching state between the sliding grille and the fixed grille.

[0016] 2. The present invention changes the positions of the fixed grille and the sliding grille through the centrifugal force exerted on the centrifugal block. The fixed grille and the sliding grille cooperate to block the gaps between adjacent heat sinks. When the heat sink blades rotate, air can only enter the gaps adjacent to the heat sink from the front and rear sides, so that the air flows evenly in the gaps between each group of adjacent heat sinks, ensuring even heat dissipation on the upper side of the shell and avoiding overheating at a local position due to uneven heat dissipation of the shell.

[0017] 3. After the heat dissipation fan blades of the present invention stop rotating, the through holes of the sliding grille and the fixed grille are connected, thereby quickly dissipating the hot air of the shell from between adjacent heat dissipation fins, thereby preventing the hot air from accumulating between adjacent heat dissipation fins and causing the shell temperature to be too high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Embodiment 1: The existing heat dissipation methods of the algorithm box include natural cooling and fan cooling. Natural cooling is difficult to maintain the temperature of the algorithm box in a high temperature environment. Although fan cooling is more efficient than natural heat dissipation in a high temperature environment, fan cooling simply drives air to flow locally in the algorithm box, resulting in a very uneven overall temperature of the algorithm box. The following method is adopted to solve the above problem.

[0027] An algorithm box for edge computing, such as Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, it includes a shell 1, two symmetrical bases 2 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1, two symmetrical support plates 3 and heat sinks 4 with equal spacing are fixedly connected to the upper side of the shell 1, the heat sink 4 is used to assist the shell 1 in heat dissipation, the heat sinks 4 with equal spacing are located between the symmetrical support plates 3, the two support plates 3 are commonly fixedly connected to a fixed grille 5, a gap is provided between the fixed grille 5 and the heat sinks 4 with equal spacing, the fixed grille 5 does not contact the upper side of the heat sink 4, the fixed grille 5 is provided with through holes distributed with equal spacing, the through holes of the fixed grille 5 are set to be rectangular, the fixed grille 5 is embedded with a fixed shell 6, the two support plates 3 are fixedly connected to the fixed shell 6 through a connecting plate to increase the stability of the fixed shell 6, and two symmetrical mounting plates 7 are fixedly connected in the fixed shell 6, the two mounting plates 7 are distributed up and down, and the two mounting plates 7 are fixedly connected to the fixed shell 6. A rotating tube 8 is rotatably connected therebetween, and a driving motor for driving the rotating tube 8 is jointly installed on the two mounting plates 7. The output shaft of the driving motor drives the rotating tube 8 to rotate. The driving motor is not shown in the accompanying drawings. The rotating tube 8 is fixedly connected with a heat dissipation fan blade 9, and the rotating tube 8 drives the heat dissipation fan blade 9 to rotate circumferentially, so as to make the air flow through the gaps between adjacent heat sinks 4. Heat dissipation grooves are provided on both sides of the shell 1 to increase the heat exchange area of ​​the shell 1, improve the heat dissipation intensity of the shell 1, and avoid excessive temperature of the shell 1 and its internal computing chip. A groove is provided in the middle of the heat sink 4 to guide the flowing air, change the direction of air flow, and thereby make the air flow evenly along the upper side of the shell 1. The central axis of the fixed shell 6 coincides with the center point of the shell 1, so as to make the air evenly dissipate the heat from the shell 1.

[0028] When the algorithm box is put into use, the staff starts the driving motor, and the output shaft of the driving motor drives the rotating tube 8 to rotate circumferentially along the two mounting plates 7 through the transmission structure. The rotating tube 8 simultaneously drives the heat dissipation fan blades 9 to rotate. During the rotation of the heat dissipation fan blades 9, the air flows from bottom to top along the fixed shell 6. During the rotation of the heat dissipation fan blades 9, the outside air flows through the gap between two adjacent heat sinks 4, and flows along the grooves of the heat sink 4 to the position of the fixed shell 6, and then is discharged from the upper end of the fixed shell 6. When the air passes through the gap between adjacent heat sinks 4, the air will exchange heat with the heat sink 4, and it will take away the heat from the heat sink 4 and the shell 1, so that the shell 1 and the computing chip inside it maintain normal temperature, avoid excessively high temperature of the shell 1 and the computing chip inside it due to excessive external ambient temperature, which will cause chip computing delays and reduced data processing capabilities in the shell 1.

[0029] Embodiment 2: Based on embodiment 1, Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a sliding grille 10 is also included. The sliding grille 10 is located in the gap between the fixed grille 5 and the radiating fins 4 distributed at equal intervals. The upper side of the sliding grille 10 is in contact with the fixed grille 5. The sliding grille 10 is slidably connected to the fixed grille 5. The sliding grille 10 is provided with through holes at equal intervals. The through holes of the sliding grille 10 are arranged in a rectangular shape. A tension spring is fixedly connected between the sliding grille 10 and the fixed grille 5 to keep the through holes of the fixed grille 5 in a connected state with the through holes of the sliding grille 10. When the through holes of the grille 10 are in a connected state, the tension springs of the sliding grille 10 and the fixed grille 5 are in a non-stretched state, the sliding grille 10 and the two support plates 3 are both limitedly matched, the through holes of the fixed grille 5 and the through holes of the sliding grille 10 have the same width, and the through holes of the fixed grille 5 and the through holes of the sliding grille 10 have the same width as the width of the heat sink 4. When the two through holes of the fixed grille 5 and the through holes of the sliding grille 10 are in a connected state, the through holes of the fixed grille 5 and the through holes of the sliding grille 10 are connected to the gap between the two heat sinks 4.

[0030] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, it also includes a fixed tube 11, which is embedded in the upper end of the rotating tube 8. The distances between the left and right ends of the fixed tube 11 and the central axis of the rotating tube 8 are the same, which is used to ensure that the center of gravity of the fixed tube 11 is located on the center of gravity axis of the rotating tube 8. Two symmetrical centrifugal blocks 12 are slidably connected in the fixed tube 11 and two symmetrical fixed plates 13 are fixedly connected. The two centrifugal blocks 12 are located on the outsides of the two fixed plates 13. An elastic member 14 is fixedly connected between the fixed plate 13 and the adjacent centrifugal blocks 12. The elastic member 14 is set as a tension spring. After the centrifugal block 12 is subjected to centrifugal force, the centrifugal block 12 moves outward, the elastic member 14 is stretched, and the fixed plate 13 is slidably connected with a first pull rope 15. The first pull rope The upper end of 15 is fixedly connected to the adjacent centrifugal block 12, the lower end of the first pull rope 15 passes through the fixed tube 11 and is located in the rotating tube 8, the diameter of the centrifugal block 12 is the same as the inner diameter of the fixed tube 11, to prevent the centrifugal block 12 from vibrating in the fixed tube 11, and lubricating oil is applied between the centrifugal block 12 and the fixed tube 11 to reduce the friction between the fixed tube 11 and the centrifugal block 12, the tension of the elastic member 14 and the tension of the tension spring between the sliding grille 10 and the fixed grille 5 is less than the centrifugal force when the centrifugal block 12 rotates, and is used to change the matching state between the sliding grille 10 and the fixed grille 5. After the centrifugal block 12 is subjected to the centrifugal force, the through hole of the sliding grille 10 and the through hole of the fixed grille 5 will be misaligned.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, a sliding plate 16 is slidably connected inside the rotating tube 8, a first pull rope 15 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate 16, a rotating ring 161 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating tube 8, the rotating ring 161 is located at the lower side of the sliding plate 16, the rotating ring 161 is rotatably connected to the guide tube 17, during the rotation of the rotating tube 8, the guide tube 17 does not rotate, the sliding grille 10 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 18, a second pull rope 19 is slidably connected through the guide tube 17, the second pull rope 19 pulls the sliding grille 10 to the left through the fixed block 18, so that the through hole of the sliding grille 10 is no longer connected to the through hole of the fixed grille 5, the upper end of the second pull rope 19 is rotatably connected to the sliding plate 16, and the lower end of the second pull rope 19 is fixedly connected to the fixed block 18.

[0032] After starting the driving motor, the rotating tube 8 drives the heat dissipation fan blades 9 to rotate circumferentially. While rotating, the rotating tube 8 drives the fixed tube 11 to rotate. The fixed tube 11 drives the two centrifugal blocks 12 to rotate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the two centrifugal blocks 12 slide along the fixed tube 11 at the same time. The two centrifugal blocks 12 move away from each other, and the distance between the centrifugal blocks 12 and the adjacent fixed plates 13 increases. The elastic member 14 between the fixed plate 13 and the adjacent centrifugal blocks 12 is stretched. At the same time, the centrifugal blocks 12 pull the connected first pull ropes 15. The two first pull ropes 15 pull the sliding plate 16 upwards at the same time. The sliding plate 16 slides upwards along the rotating tube 8. The sliding plate 16 pulls the second pull rope 19 upwards. The second pull rope 19 slides along the guide tube 17. The second pull rope 19 slides along the guide tube 17. The rope 19 pulls the fixed block 18 to the left, and the fixed block 18 drives the sliding grille 10 to move to the right. The sliding grille 10 slides along the fixed grille 5. The through holes between the fixed grille 5 and the sliding grille 10 are staggered with each other. The fixed grille 5 and the sliding grille 10 cooperate to block the upper part of the gap between adjacent heat sinks 4, and then when the heat dissipation fan blades 9 rotate, the air can only enter the adjacent gap from the front and rear sides of the adjacent heat sink 4, and at the same time increase the speed of air flowing along the gap in the adjacent heat sink 4. The air flows along the grooves of the heat sink 4 and is then discharged from the upper end of the fixed shell 6, so that the air flows evenly in the gap between each group of adjacent heat sinks 4, ensuring uniform heat dissipation on the upper side of the shell 1 and avoiding uneven heat dissipation of the shell 1 causing overheating in a local position.

[0033] During the use of this algorithm box, if the driving motor that drives the heat dissipation fan blades 9 is damaged, the heat dissipation fan blades 9 will stop rotating. At this time, the two centrifugal blocks 12 are no longer affected by the centrifugal force. At this time, under the action of the elastic member 14 and the tension spring between the fixed grille 5 and the sliding grille 10, the sliding grille 10 pulls the second pull rope 19 through the fixed block 18, and the second pull rope 19 slides along the guide tube 17. The second pull rope 19 pulls the sliding plate 16 downward to reset, and then the two centrifugal blocks 12 are reset, and then the through holes of the sliding grille 10 and the fixed grille 5 are connected, thereby quickly dissipating the hot air of the shell 1 from between adjacent heat sinks 4, avoiding the accumulation of hot air between adjacent heat sinks 4 and causing the temperature of the shell 1 to be too high.

[0034] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the present invention, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with the technology to understand the content of the present invention and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
