[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Reference Figure 1 Embodiment 1 of the present invention proposes a dust collecting device, which includes: a dust collecting part 11, which is used to collect dust and is made of breathable dust-proof material, one end of the dust collecting part 11 has an opening, and is directly opposite to the heat dissipation air inlet of the chassis shell; and a mounting part 12, which is arranged at the opening of the dust collecting part 11 and is connected to the corresponding position of the heat dissipation air inlet.

[0036] Specifically, the dust collection device provided in this embodiment is applied to the chassis of an electronic device, and is specifically installed at a position of the chassis shell corresponding to a heat dissipation air inlet (not shown in the figure). The electronic device here may be but is not limited to a server, etc., and is used to remove dust from the air entering the interior of the chassis shell at the position of the heat dissipation air inlet to prevent dust from affecting the electronic accessories in the chassis shell.

[0037] The dust collecting device consists of a dust collecting part 11 and an installation part 12. The dust collecting part 11 can be configured as a flexible bag structure with an opening, and the position of its opening corresponds to the position of the heat dissipation air inlet of the chassis shell, and is used to collect dust mixed with the air introduced through the heat dissipation air inlet of the chassis shell. The dust collecting part 11 is made of breathable dust-proof material, which can allow gas to pass through and trap dust, impurities, etc. in the dust collecting part 11, so as to prevent dust and impurities from entering the space where electronic accessories are located in the chassis shell. The installation part 12 is used to realize the shaping and installation of the dust collecting part 11. The installation part 12 is arranged at the opening of the dust collecting part 11, and can support the opening of the dust collecting part 11 to ensure that the opening is in an open state, and the installation part 12 is connected to the position on the chassis shell corresponding to the heat dissipation air inlet. The connection method can be a detachable connection or a fixed connection, etc., and the specific installation position can make the opening of the dust collecting part 11 completely correspond to the heat dissipation air inlet, or make the opening of the dust collecting part 11 correspond to a partial area of ​​the heat dissipation air inlet, which is not specifically limited here.

[0038] According to the above, an embodiment of the utility model proposes a dust collecting device, wherein the dust collecting portion 11 of the dust collecting device can be installed on a chassis shell through a mounting portion 12, and an opening of the dust collecting portion 11 corresponds to a heat dissipation air inlet of the chassis shell, and the dust collecting portion 11 is made of breathable dust-proof material. When air enters through the opening of the dust collecting portion 11 and enters the interior of the chassis shell, the dust collecting portion 11 can trap dust, impurities, etc. in the air therein, and allow the filtered gas to pass through and enter the area where the electronic accessories in the chassis shell are located to achieve air-cooled heat dissipation. Such a design can effectively achieve a dust removal effect, and can avoid dust accumulation inside the chassis shell, thereby avoiding the influence of dust on electronic accessories.

[0039] For further information, see Attachment Figure 3In a specific implementation, the mounting portion 12 is used to adapt to a plug-in interface 21 of a hard disk installation space 2 of the chassis shell and can be detachably installed on the plug-in interface 21, and the accommodating volume of the dust collecting portion 11 is not larger than the size of the hard disk installation space 2.

[0040] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted by the utility model, the electronic device to which the dust collecting device is specifically applied may be a server, and the location where the dust collecting device is set may be an empty plug interface 21 of the server at the heat dissipation air inlet where no hard disk is plugged in. The number of dust collecting devices used may be set according to the number of hard disks installed and the user's usage requirements. In this case, the shape and size design of the dust collecting device should meet the shape and size of the hard disk installation space 2. The installation portion 12 may be set to a structure that is compatible with the plug interface 21 of a hard disk installation space 2 and can be detachably connected to the plug interface 21, using a removable The disassembly connection method can avoid the setting of the dust collecting device from affecting the normal connection of the hard disk to the hard disk installation space 2, so that the hard disk installation space 2 can not only plug in the hard disk, but also install the dust collecting device in an empty state without plugging in the hard disk to achieve the dust isolation effect; in order for the dust collecting part 11 to have a good dust collection and ventilation effect, it is necessary to set the accommodation volume of the dust collecting part 11 to be compatible with the size of the hard disk installation space 2, specifically, it can be set to be no larger than the size of the hard disk installation space 2, so that when the fan of the electronic device is dissipating heat, the dust collecting part 11 can be fully unfolded to ensure the high efficiency of dust collection and ventilation.

[0041] For further information, see Attachment Figure 1 In a specific implementation, the mounting portion 12 includes: a fixing member, the fixing member having a vent 1211, and the position of the fixing member located at the periphery of the vent 1211 is connected to the opening of the dust collecting portion 11; and a connecting member 125, the connecting member 125 is connected to a side of the fixing member away from the dust collecting portion 11, and the connecting member 125 is used for detachable connection with the plug port 21.

[0042] Specifically, in order to realize the support and fixation of the dust collecting part 11 by the mounting part 12 and the connection with the chassis shell, in the technical solution adopted by the utility model, the mounting part 12 specifically includes: a fixing part and a connecting part 125. The fixing part can be set as a frame structure, which is adapted to the plug interface 21 of the hard disk installation space 2. Specifically, it can be a rectangular frame structure. The frame structure can be formed by processing an opening in a plate, or can also be formed by splicing or other fixing methods through a rod-like structure, which can be enclosed to form a vent 1211 for allowing external air to enter. The opening of the dust collecting part 11 can be fixed to the fixing part at the periphery of the vent 1211. The fixing method can be a detachable connection or a fixed connection, etc., which is not specifically limited here; the connecting part 125 is arranged on the side of the fixing part away from the dust collecting part 11, and is used for detachable connection with the plug interface 21.

[0043] The connection member 125 is not limited to one detachable connection with the plug interface 21. While achieving the detachable connection, it is also necessary to ensure that the connection does not affect the normal plugging of the hard disk. The following describes two configurations of the connection member 125:

[0044] The first configuration of the connector 125 is as follows: Figure 1 The connecting member 125 includes a plurality of adhesive portions 1251, and the plurality of adhesive portions 1251 are distributed on the periphery of the fixing member. The optimal arrangement is to evenly distribute the adhesive portions on the periphery of the fixing member. After the connecting member 125 is placed in the hard disk installation space 2, it can be bonded to the plug interface 21 of the hard disk installation space 2, thereby realizing the positioning and fixing of the fixing member of the installation portion 12 in the hard disk installation space 2. Further, in order to improve the convenience and reliability of bonding between the connecting member 125 and the plug interface 21, the adhesive portion 1251 may specifically include: an elastic member 1251a and an adhesive The connecting end 1251b, the elastic member 1251a is fixedly connected to the fixing member, and its elastic expansion and contraction direction is perpendicular to the surface on which it is installed on the fixing member. The bonding end 1251b is sticky and is arranged at the end of the elastic member 1251a away from the fixing member. Therefore, when the fixing member is set on the plug-in port 21, the elastic member 1251a can be compressed, and the bonding end 1251b can be pressed against the corresponding position of the plug-in port 21 under the elastic action of the elastic member 1251a, so that the two are fully and reliably bonded and fixed, which is beneficial to the installation strength of the dust collecting device.

[0045] The second arrangement form of the connector 125 is that the connector 125 is arranged as a hook structure (not shown in the figure), and correspondingly, a number of equal and corresponding snap-in slots (not shown in the figure) of the connector 125 are arranged in the hard disk installation space 2 and near the plug interface 21. The hook is adapted to the snap-in slot and can be snapped into the snap-in slot to fix the position of the mounting portion 12. The number of connectors 125 can be set to at least two, and they are arranged at intervals around the fixing member. This arrangement method can also realize the detachable connection between the mounting portion 12 and the hard disk installation space 2 of the chassis, and the snap-in slots arranged in the hard disk installation space 2 do not affect the installation and removal of the hard disk. Further, in order to facilitate the connection between the connector 125 and the snap-in slot, the connector 125 can be elastically connected or rotationally connected to the fixing member, so that the connector 125 can be flipped relative to the fixing member to improve the convenience and efficiency of its connection with the snap-in slot.

[0046] For further information, see Attachment Figure 2 In a specific implementation, the fixing member includes: a fixing plate 121, the middle part of which has the vent 1211; and a plurality of clamping mechanisms, each of which is connected to the fixing plate 121, and the clamping mechanisms are used to clamp the dust collecting part 11 so that the dust collecting part 11 is detachably connected to the fixing member.

[0047] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted by the present invention, the fixing part can be set as a plate structure, that is, it includes a fixing plate 121, the outer contour shape of the fixing plate 121 is rectangular and adapted to the size of the plug-in port 21, and a vent 1211 is provided in the middle, and external air can enter the dust collecting part 11 through the vent 1211; the fixing part also includes a plurality of clamping mechanisms, each of which is respectively connected to the fixing plate 121, and is used to clamp and fix the dust collecting part 11, so as to realize a detachable connection between the dust collecting part 11 and the fixing plate 121. Such a connection method can realize convenient disassembly while realizing a reliable fixed connection between the two, and can facilitate cleaning of dust, impurities, etc. blocked inside the dust collecting part 11.

[0048] For further information, see Attachment Figure 2 In a specific implementation, the clamping mechanism includes: a back plate 122, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed plate 121 and is located on the side away from the connecting member 125; and a clamping member 123 and a threaded connecting member 124, the threaded connecting member 124 passes through the clamping member 123 and is screwed to the back plate 122, and the threaded connecting member 124 is used to drive the clamping member 123 to approach the back plate 122.

[0049] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted by the present invention, the clamping mechanism specifically includes a butt plate 122, a clamping member 123 and a threaded connector 124. The butt plate 122 is configured as a rectangular frame structure, which is arranged around the outer periphery of the fixed plate 121 and is located on the side away from the connector 125. The number of threaded connectors 124 and the clamping member 123 is equal and there are at least two of each. The clamping member 123 is provided with a through hole for the threaded connector 124 to pass through. The butt plate 122 is provided with threaded holes equal to the number of the threaded connector 124. The threaded connector 124 passes through the corresponding positions of the clamping member 123 and the opening of the dust collecting part 11 in turn and is screwed to the butt plate 122. The threaded connector 124 can drive the clamping member 123 to approach the butt plate 122 until the corresponding part of the dust collecting part 11 is clamped between the clamping member 123 and the butt plate 122.
