Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of communication signals, and more specifically to a network switch. Background Technology

[0002] A network switch is a device that expands a network by providing more connection ports to subnets, allowing more computers to be connected. With the development of the communications industry and the advancement of national economic informatization, the network switch market is steadily growing. It features a high performance-to-price ratio, high flexibility, relative simplicity, and ease of implementation. Therefore, Ethernet technology has become one of the most important local area network (LAN) technologies today, and network switches have become the most widely used type of switch. Currently, network switches are typically installed in a large rack. However, network switches generate heat during operation, and if dust accumulates on the switch during daily use, it can easily lead to malfunctions or even fires. Existing racks only serve the purpose of installation and fixation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention provides a network switch, the purpose of which is to remove the dust accumulated on the network switch during operation.

[0004] The above objectives are achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0005] A network switch includes two carriages, each carriage having a brush wheel rotatably connected to it, each brush wheel having multiple through holes, each brush wheel having multiple brush strips fixedly connected to it, and each carriage also having a first rotating shaft rotatably connected to it, each first rotating shaft having a turbine fixedly connected to it.

[0006] Each of the first rotating shafts has a second gear fixedly connected to both ends, each slide has a first gear rotatably connected to both ends, each first gear meshes with a corresponding second gear, and each brush wheel has a toothed disc fixedly connected to both ends, each toothed disc meshing with a corresponding first gear.

[0007] Each of the slides is rotatably connected to a second rotating shaft, and each slide is fixedly connected to a first motor. The output shaft of each first motor is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft, and both ends of each second rotating shaft are connected to the corresponding ends of the first rotating shaft by belts.

[0008] The two carriages are slidably connected to a first bracket, and four threaded rods are rotatably connected inside the first bracket, with each pair of threaded rods being threadedly connected to the corresponding carriage.

[0009] A second bracket is fixedly connected to the first bracket, and multiple sets of clamps are inserted into the second bracket. Each set of clamps contains a switch and each set of clamps includes four clamping plates. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0021] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0022] The invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 To solve the problem of cleaning dust from network switches;

[0024] The brush wheel 101 is rotatably connected to the carriage 11. The brush wheel 101 has multiple through holes. The first rotating shaft 103 is rotatably connected inside the brush wheel 101. A turbine 12 is fixedly connected to the first rotating shaft 103. The turbine 12 is located inside the brush wheel 101. The brush strip 102 is fixedly connected to the outside of the brush wheel 101.

[0025] Network switches typically have ventilation openings on both sides. During use, dust accumulates at these openings. Excessive dust buildup can impair heat dissipation and even cause fires, necessitating timely cleaning. Each switch 14 is housed within the device. When the first rotating shaft 103 rotates, it drives the internal turbine 12 to rotate, creating a low-pressure environment inside the brush wheel 101. This allows dust to enter the brush wheel 101 through its through-holes, causing the brush wheel 101 to rotate simultaneously with the first rotating shaft 103. This rotation, in turn, drives the brush strip 102 to rotate, thus improving ventilation on both sides of the switch 14. The dust accumulated on the mouth is swept away. The fan blades on the turbine 12 are made of fiber cloth, so when the dust enters the brush wheel 101, it can be adsorbed on the turbine 12. At the same time, high-speed air passes through the fan blades of the turbine 12 and enters the turbine 12. Then it flows out from both sides to form a circulation. During the rotation of the first rotating shaft 103, the slide 11 is driven to move downward, thereby cleaning multiple switches 14 from top to bottom. At the same time, the swept dust is prevented from falling back onto the switches 14. The brush wheels 101 on both sides work at the same time to achieve the purpose of cleaning the switches 14. After multiple operations, the internal turbine 12 is removed and the dust on the fan blades is cleaned.

[0026] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 To achieve the goal of controlling the rotation of the first rotating shaft while simultaneously driving the brush wheel to rotate;

[0027] Two second gears 201 are fixedly connected to both ends of each first rotating shaft 103, and two first gears 104 are rotatably connected to both ends of each slide 11. Each first gear 104 meshes with the corresponding second gear 201. Two toothed discs 107 are fixedly connected to both ends of each brush wheel 101, and each toothed disc 107 meshes with the corresponding first gear 104.

[0028] When the first rotating shaft 103 is driven to rotate, it drives the two second gears 201 to rotate, which in turn meshes with and drives the first gear 104 to rotate, which in turn meshes with the gear disk 107 to rotate, which in turn drives the brush wheel 101 to rotate. This achieves the purpose of driving the brush wheel 101 to rotate when the first rotating shaft 103 rotates. In order to create a sufficiently low pressure state inside the turbine 12 so that dust can be adsorbed onto the turbine 12 as much as possible, the first rotating shaft 103 needs to rotate at high speed. At the same time, in order to avoid the brush wheel 101 rotating too fast, which would cause the brush bar 102 to damage the ventilation openings on both sides of the switch 14, the gear ratio between the second gear 201 and the first gear 104 and the gear disk 107 needs to be limited to between 1:5:5 and 1:3:3.

[0029] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 To achieve the purpose of controlling the rotation of the first rotating shaft;

[0030] The second rotating shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the slide 11, the first motor 106 is fixedly connected to the slide 11, the output shaft of the first motor 106 is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft 105, and the two ends of the second rotating shaft 105 and the two ends of the first rotating shaft are connected by a belt.

[0031] As the slide 11 moves downward, the first motor 106 continuously rotates, which in turn drives the second shaft 105 to rotate. This, in turn, drives the first shaft 103 to rotate via a belt. The belt drives both sides of the first shaft 103 simultaneously, ensuring that the first shaft 103 rotates smoothly. Meanwhile, the first motor 106 is fixed to the end of the slide 11 near the first support 13, which allows the center of gravity of the slide 11 to be closer to the first support 13. This reduces the frictional resistance between the slide 11 and the first support 13, thus reducing energy loss. At the same time, the torque of the first motor 106 is transmitted to the first shaft 103 via the belt, which also prevents the switch 14 from being damaged by excessive torque when the brush wheel 101 is stuck by the switch 14.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 To achieve the purpose of controlling the slide 11 to move downward;

[0033] The slide 11 is slidably connected to the left and right sides of the first bracket 13. Each slide 11 has a threaded rod 301 rotatably connected to both ends. Each threaded rod 301 is rotatably connected inside the first bracket 13. The upper ends of every two adjacent threaded rods 301 are connected by a belt. The second motor is fixedly connected to the first bracket 13. The output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to one of the threaded rods 301.

[0034] The second motor is driven to rotate, which in turn drives a threaded rod 301 to rotate. This drives four threaded rods 301 to rotate synchronously via a belt, which in turn drives the slide 11 to move downwards. The synchronous rotation of two corresponding threaded rods 301 ensures that the forces on the left and right ends of the slide 11 are always equal during the downward movement, thus preventing it from jamming.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 To achieve the purpose of a fixed switch;

[0036] The second bracket 302 is fixed inside the first bracket 13. The second bracket 302 is provided with multiple insertion holes. The clamping plate 303 is inserted into the insertion holes. The four clamping plates 303 form a set of clamps. The switch 14 is fixed by a set of clamps.

[0037] The switch 14 is an existing fiber optic network switch. During installation, the two front clamps 303 and the lower rear clamp 303 are first inserted into the second bracket 302. Then, the switch 14 is installed in the fixture. The density between each set of clamps 303 is adjusted according to the number of switches 14 required. When the number of switches 14 required is small, each switch 14 is installed in a dispersed manner, thereby ensuring the heat dissipation effect of the switch 14.

[0038] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 To prevent dust from clogging the interfaces on the switch;

[0039] Multiple track bars 304 are fixedly connected between the two corresponding clamping plates 303 on the front side. Two baffles 305 are slidably connected between every two adjacent track bars 304. A compression spring 306 is fixedly connected between each baffle 305 and the corresponding clamping plate 303.

[0040] During use, some network cable interfaces of the switch 14 may be temporarily unused. Prolonged storage can lead to dust accumulation in these interfaces, causing them to become blocked and unusable. In this device, the baffle 305 slides within the track 304, which is located between two adjacent interfaces. The baffle 305 can block the interface. Initially, the spring 306 is in an extended state, and the upper and lower baffles 305 are pressed against the interface, thus closing it. When the interface is to be used, the baffles 305 are slid to the sides, compressing the springs 306. Then, the RJ45 connector at one end of the network cable 15 is inserted into the interface, and the baffle 305 is blocked by the RJ45 connector. When the RJ45 connector is removed, the compressed spring 306 pushes the baffle 305 back to its original position.

[0041] like Figure 7 To achieve the purpose of fixing the network cable;

[0042] Each clamp 303 is fixed with multiple clips 307, and each pair of clips 307 contains a network cable 15.

[0043] The second bracket 302 is provided with multiple sets of symmetrical arc-shaped slides. Each set of symmetrical arc-shaped slides is located on the upper and lower sides of the corresponding switch 16. A limiting rod 308 is slidably connected in each arc-shaped slide.

[0044] The limiting roller 308 slides within the arc-shaped track, thus preventing it from affecting the installation of the clamp 303. After the clamp 303 and the switch 14 are installed, the network cable 15 is an existing optical fiber. One end of the network cable 15 is inserted into the interface of the switch 14, and then the network cable 15 is passed around the limiting roller 308 and then locked in the clip 307. Then, the two limiting rollers 308 are moved inward, pulling the other end of the network cable 15, thereby tightening the network cable 15. The limiting roller 308 can prevent the network cable 15 from bending during the pulling process, causing it to change direction along the arc and thus avoiding damage caused by bending. At the same time, after all the network cables 15 are tightened, multiple network cables 15 can be prevented from getting tangled, thus making it easier to replace if a network cable 15 is damaged.

[0045] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 To achieve the purpose of tightening the network cable;

[0046] In each set of clamps, a plurality of clamping slots 16 are fixedly connected to the clamping plate 303 located on the rear side.

[0047] Two protrusions 602 are fixedly connected in each of the clamping slots 16. An elastic plate 603 is contacted and connected to each protrusion 602. A second rotating shaft 601 is fixedly connected to multiple elastic plates 603. Each second rotating shaft 601 is rotatably connected to the corresponding clamping slot 16.

[0048] After the network cable 15 is clipped into the clip 307, it is clamped between the two elastic plates 603. Then, the second rotating shaft 601 is rotated, which in turn drives the elastic plates 603 to rotate. The two protrusions 602 are located on the straight line of the network cable 15. As the elastic plates 603 rotate, they are pressed inward by the protrusions 602. The inner side of the elastic plates 603 is provided with anti-slip strips, which can tighten the network cable 15 and drive the network cable 15 to move backward to achieve tension. A ratchet gear is provided between the second rotating shaft 601 and the clamping groove 16, which allows the second rotating shaft 601 to rotate in only one direction, thus fixing the network cable 15 after it is tightened.
