At this time, the third micromotor 10 is started, the third micromotor 10 drives the third rotating shaft 11 to rotate, the third rotating shaft 11 drives the driving roller 12 to rotate, the driving roller 12 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, the rotating rod 14 drives the driving ring 15 to rotate, and the driving rings 15 drive each other to rotate through the linkage belt 8. At the same time, the rotating rod 14 drives the remaining passive driving rollers 12 to rotate, and the driving roller 12 drives the guide plate 13 to rotate. The rotation directions and angles of several guide plates 13 are consistent, and the guide plates 13 rotate from a connected sealed state to an interval open state, and channels are formed between the guide plates 13; the second micromotor 19 is started, the second micromotor 19 drives the second rotating shaft 20 to rotate, the second rotating shaft 20 drives the second blade 21 to rotate, and the second blade 21 rotates. The siphon hood 17 forms an upward negative pressure lift, and the heat in the switch housing 2 is introduced into the window 5 through the siphon hood 17 and the guide hood 16. The array S-shaped guide grooves 18 opened on the inner wall side of the siphon hood 17 can make the hot air flow in the switch housing 2 rise and discharge in an orderly manner, avoiding the heat reflux effect caused by air flow turbulence. At the same time, the S-shaped guide grooves 18 can form a muffler to eliminate the noise generated by the operation of the second micro motor 19 and the second blade 21, and play a mute role; the heat is discharged out of the switch housing 2 through the interval between the guide plates 13, the temperature in the switch housing 2 is reduced, and the operating temperature of the control processor 9 is reduced, which plays an active heat dissipation and cooling role; and when the opening and closing components are closed, the guide plates 13 are changed from open rotation to closed, and the connected and closed guide plates 13 can form a heat preservation and dustproof effect, so that in a low temperature environment, the control processor 9 in the switch housing 2 is protected from the influence of the external low temperature, thereby improving the operating efficiency and playing a protective and dustproof role.

When active heat dissipation is required, the micro-electro-hydraulic cylinder 24 is started, and the micro-electro-hydraulic cylinder 24 lifts the switch housing 2 through the lifting rod 25. At this time, the second micro-motor 19 is started, and the second micro-motor 19 drives the second rotating shaft 20 to rotate, and the second rotating shaft 20 drives the second blade 21 to rotate. The rotation of the second blade 21 forms an upward negative pressure lift in the siphon cover 17, and the vent 23 at the bottom of the switch housing 2 and the interval between the guide plate 13 form a convection channel, which accelerates the air flow in the switch housing 2, and introduces the heat in the switch housing 2 into the window 5 through the siphon cover 17 and the guide cover 16, and discharges it outside the switch housing 2 through the interval between the guide plates 13, thereby reducing the temperature in the switch housing 2 and reducing the operating temperature of the control processor 9; When there is no need to actively cool down the switch casing 2, the micro electro-hydraulic cylinder 24 is started, and the switch casing 2 is lowered to be close to the surface of the fixed base 1 through the lifting rod 25. At this time, the opening and closing components are closed to form a relatively sealed and heat-insulating space in the switch casing 2, ensuring that the network switch can maintain its internal temperature in a low-temperature environment, free from the influence of low temperature, increase the operating temperature of the control processor 9, and improve work efficiency.
[0027] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , an embodiment provided by the present invention: a low-power network switch with an efficient heat dissipation structure, wherein the switch housing 2 is made of metal material through a die-casting process, and a plurality of guide holes and channels are preset on the outer wall of the switch housing 2 to assist in forming an internal stable natural convection heat dissipation structure, thereby further improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency; The network switch has an embedded judgment algorithm module, which predicts the future temperature change trend through the historical temperature data collected by the temperature sensor fixedly installed on the inner wall side of the switch housing 2, and adjusts the start-up timing and working parameters of the active heat dissipation module in advance according to the prediction results, so as to optimize the heat dissipation effect and reduce energy consumption; Furthermore, the switch housing 2 is made of metal material through a die-casting process. A plurality of precisely designed guide holes and channels are preset on the outer wall of the switch housing 2. These channels are optimized and designed according to computational fluid dynamics simulation, and can form a stable airflow path inside the network switch. When the network switch is in operation, the control processor 9 generates heat, causing the local temperature inside the switch housing 2 to rise. Due to the design of the guide holes and channels of the switch housing 2, hot air forms an ascending airflow inside the switch housing 2. At the same time, relatively low-temperature air from the outside enters the device from the air inlet, and takes away the heat by the principle of natural convection, lowering the internal temperature, achieving a passive heat dissipation effect, effectively assisting heat dissipation, improving heat dissipation efficiency, and saving energy consumption. A plurality of temperature sensors are fixedly installed on the inner wall side of the switch housing 2. These temperature sensors monitor the local temperature inside the switch housing 2 in real time and transmit the collected temperature data to the embedded control unit inside the network switch. The embedded judgment algorithm module uses the collected historical temperature data, combined with the pre-set temperature threshold and change trend model, to predict the temperature change trend in the short future time. For example, when the algorithm detects that the temperature in a key area is rising at a faster rate, it predicts that the temperature may exceed the safe working threshold in the next few seconds. Then the algorithm outputs a warning signal. Based on the prediction result, the embedded control unit starts or accelerates the local active heat dissipation module in advance to achieve dynamic matching of active and passive heat dissipation, ensuring that the temperature fluctuation is maintained within a reasonable range.
[0028] Working principle: The real-time temperature data in the switch housing 2 is monitored by the temperature sensor in real time, and the monitored data is transmitted to the embedded control unit in the judgment algorithm module for analysis to determine whether the temperature exceeds the standard operating temperature threshold; When the temperature does not exceed the upper limit of the set threshold, the network switch can absorb and release the local heat generated by the control processor 9 by relying only on the passive heat dissipation module, thereby reducing the temperature inside the switch housing 2 and saving energy consumption; When the temperature exceeds the upper limit of the standard threshold, the network switch starts the passive cooling module, the active cooling module and the opening and closing component, and opens the convection channel in the switch casing 2 through the opening and closing component to discharge the hot air in the switch casing 2, taking away the local high heat generated by the control processor 9, while also reducing noise and achieving efficient heat dissipation of the network switch.
