The expansion rack mechanism 2 comprises a fixed vertical rod 201, a first fixed horizontal rod 202, a second fixed horizontal rod 203 and a U-shaped plate 205. The fixed vertical rod 201 is fixedly installed in the inner cavity of the industrial computer body 1, the first fixed horizontal rod 202 is fixedly installed on the left side of the fixed vertical rod 201, and the second fixed horizontal rod 203 is fixedly installed on the left side inside the industrial computer body 1.

A plurality of connecting holes 206 are provided on the left and right sides of the U-shaped plate 205, and a unit plate 207 is movably installed in the inner cavity of the U-shaped plate 205.
[0027] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The unit plate 207 and the U-shaped plate 205 are connected by bolts, an extended disk 208 is movably installed on the top of the unit plate 207, a first heat dissipation hole 4 is opened on the surface of the unit plate 207, and a second heat dissipation hole 5 is opened at the bottom of the U-shaped plate 205.

[0028] By adopting the above scheme: the temperature sensor 301 is exposed to high temperature, thereby triggering the motor 302 to start, and the motor 302 drives the cooling fan 303 to work, so that the air inside and outside the industrial computer body 1 is forced to convect, further accelerating the flow of air, and the intelligent cooling solution can be automatically operated without stopping the industrial computer equipment, so that the internal electronic components of the industrial computer body 1 are always in a safe working temperature range.
