Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of edge computers, and more specifically, to a moisture-proof AI edge computer. Background Art

[0002] Edge computers are terminal computing core platforms that integrate network, collection, storage, computing and analysis at the edge of the Internet of Things or data source network. They can provide real-time, dynamic, intelligent, secure and efficient computing services for end-user scenarios. Edge computers are often used to collect public utility (hydraulic, gas, electricity, facility management) data, ocean monitoring and control, and smart building control.

[0003] Edge computers generate heat when working. When too much heat accumulates, it will affect the operation of the edge computer and even reduce the service life of the edge computer. In order to dissipate heat, edge computers on the market will install heat dissipation fins on the edge computers. The heat dissipation area is increased by the heat dissipation fins to improve heat dissipation, but the heat can only be transferred to the outside through the heat dissipation fins and the shell of the edge computer, and the heat dissipation effect is not good. Therefore, there is also a kind of edge computer on the market with a cooling fan installed to enhance the heat dissipation capacity, but the cooling fan is connected to the inside of the edge computer, so that when the edge computer is in some humid environment, water vapor will enter the edge computer through the cooling fan, thereby affecting the electronic components on the edge computer motherboard, causing the edge computer to function poorly, and even reducing the service life of the edge computer. Therefore, an edge computer with good heat dissipation and moisture-proof is needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, a moisture-proof AI edge computer is provided.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve its technical problems is: a moisture-proof AI edge computer, including a shell and an edge computer motherboard, the shell is provided with a heat sink, the edge computer motherboard is installed in the shell, the heat sink is provided with a fan and a coolant tank, the fan is provided with a first pipe connected to the shell, the first pipe is sealed and connected to the shell, the fan is also provided with a second pipe, the second pipe is inserted into the coolant tank and passes through the coolant tank to communicate with the shell, and the second pipe is sealed and connected to the shell.

[0006] Preferably, the shell is provided with two first shell through holes for installing the first pipe and the second pipe, and a first sealing ring is provided between the first pipe and the second pipe and the corresponding first shell through holes.

[0007] Preferably, a waterproof interface is provided on the edge computer mainboard, a second shell through hole is provided on the shell, the interface is inserted into the second shell through hole, and a second sealing ring is provided between the interface and the second shell through hole.

[0008] Preferably, the heat dissipation box is provided with a heat dissipation fan on a side wall opposite to the coolant tank, and a heat dissipation box through hole is also provided on the side wall of the heat dissipation box.

[0009] Preferably, dustproof nets are provided in the through hole of the heat dissipation box and at one end of the heat dissipation fan away from the coolant tank.

[0010] Preferably, the portion of the second pipeline located in the coolant tank has a serpentine structure.

[0011] Preferably, the first pipe is connected to the air intake of the fan, and the second pipe is connected to the air outlet of the fan.

[0012] Preferably, the second pipe is a copper pipe or an aluminum pipe.

[0013] Preferably, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are provided on the top of the shell.

[0014] The beneficial effect of the utility model is that the sealed shell prevents humid air from entering the shell, and the edge computer mainboard generates heat when it works. At this time, the fan works and sucks the hot air out of the shell through the first pipe or the second pipe. When the hot air passes through the coolant tank in the second pipe, the heat of the hot air is transferred to the coolant in the coolant tank through the second pipe. The coolant absorbs the heat of the hot air, so that the hot air is cooled to cold air. Then the fan sends the cold air into the shell through the second pipe or the first pipe, so that the edge computer mainboard is cooled. This edge computer not only has a good heat dissipation effect through the exchange of hot and cold air, but also the hot and cold air are only exchanged with the air in the shell, and will not be exchanged with the outside air. This prevents external water vapor from entering the shell, thereby ensuring the moisture-proof performance of the edge computer and ensuring the normal operation and service life of the edge computer.

[0020] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the following will be clearly and completely described in combination with the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the utility model. In addition, the directional terms mentioned in the utility model, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", etc., are only referenced to the directions of the attached diagrams. The directional terms used are for better and clearer explanation and understanding of the utility model, rather than indicating or implying the orientation that the utility model must have, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the utility model.

[0021] The utility model is implemented as follows Figures 1 to 4As shown in, a moisture-proof AI edge computer includes a shell 1 and an edge computer motherboard 2, the shell 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped structure, a heat sink 12 of a rectangular parallelepiped structure is arranged on the rear side wall of the shell 1, the shell 1 and the heat sink 12 are integrally formed, the edge computer motherboard 2 is installed on the bottom surface of the shell 1, a fan 3 and a coolant tank 4 are arranged in the heat sink 12, the coolant tank 4 is installed at the center of the bottom surface of the heat sink 12, the fan 3 is installed on the bottom surface of the heat sink 12 at the left side of the coolant tank 4, the fan 3 is provided with a first pipe 5 connected to the shell 1, the first pipe 5 is sealed and connected to the shell 1, and the fan 3 A second pipe 6 connected to the shell 1 is also provided on the shell 1, and the second pipe 6 is inserted into the coolant tank 4 and passes through the coolant tank 4 to communicate with the shell 1. The second pipe 6 is sealed and connected to the shell 1. The second pipe 6 is a copper tube or an aluminum tube. The copper tube or the aluminum tube has strong thermal conductivity and is not easy to rust. Two first shell through holes 10 for installing the first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 are provided on the shell 1. The two first shell through holes 10 are correspondingly arranged on the left and right sides of the rear side wall of the shell 1. The ends of the first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 away from the fan 3 are correspondingly installed in the two first shell through holes 10, and the end of the first pipe 5 away from the fan 3 is installed in the first shell through hole on the left side. The first pipe 5 and the second pipe 6 are installed in the first shell through hole 10, and the end of the second pipe 6 away from the fan 3 is installed in the first shell through hole 10 on the right side. A first sealing ring 11 is arranged between the first pipe 5 and the corresponding first shell through hole 10, and a first sealing ring 11 is also arranged between the second pipe 6 and the corresponding first shell through hole 10. The first sealing ring 11 prevents water vapor from entering the shell 1 from the installation gap between the first pipe 5 and the corresponding first shell through hole 10, or from entering the shell 1 from the installation gap between the second pipe 6 and the corresponding first shell through hole 10. In the shell 1, the edge computer motherboard 2 works to generate heat. At this time, the fan 3 works and sucks the hot air in the shell 1 out through the first pipe 5 or the second pipe 6. When the hot air passes through the coolant tank 4 in the second pipe 6, the heat of the hot air is transferred to the coolant in the coolant tank 4 through the second pipe 6. The coolant absorbs the heat of the hot air, causing the hot air to cool down into cold air. Then the fan 3 sends the cold air into the shell 1 through the second pipe 6 or the first pipe 5, so that the edge computer mainboard 2 is cooled. This edge computer not only has a good heat dissipation effect through the exchange of hot and cold air, but also the hot and cold air are only exchanged with the air in the shell 1, and will not be exchanged with the outside air. This prevents external water vapor from entering the shell 1, ensuring the moisture-proof performance of the edge computer and ensuring the normal operation and service life of the edge computer.

[0022] Further improvements such as Figure 1As shown, a waterproof interface 20 is provided on the edge computer motherboard 2, and the waterproof interface 20 can effectively prevent water vapor from entering the shell 1 from the interface 20. A second shell through hole is provided on the shell 1, and the interface 20 is inserted into the second shell through hole. A second sealing ring is provided between the interface 20 and the second shell through hole, and the second sealing ring can effectively prevent water vapor from entering the shell 1 from the installation gap of the interface 20. Waterproof glue can also be poured between the interface 20 and the second shell through hole to prevent water vapor from entering the shell 1.

[0023] Further improvements such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the portion of the second pipe 6 located in the coolant tank 4 has a serpentine structure, and the portion of the second pipe 6 located in the coolant tank 4 can also have a spiral structure. The serpentine structure or the spiral structure of the second pipe 6 allows the hot air to stay longer in the coolant tank 4, and the coolant in the coolant tank 4 can absorb more heat, so that the temperature of the cold air after cooling is lower and the heat dissipation effect is better.

[0024] Further improvements such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the first pipe 5 is connected to the air intake of the fan 3, and the second pipe 6 is connected to the air outlet of the fan 3, so that the heat generated by the fan 3 when working can also be absorbed by the coolant in the coolant tank 4 through the second pipe 6, so that the heat generated by the fan 3 when working will not affect the heat dissipation of this edge computer.

[0025] Further improvements, as shown in Figure Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the shell 1 is provided with a cooling fan 7 opposite to the coolant tank 4 on the front side wall corresponding to the back of the heat sink 12, and the shell 1 is also provided with two heat sink through holes 13 on the front side wall corresponding to the back of the heat sink 12. The two heat sink through holes 13 are correspondingly located on the left and right sides of the cooling fan 7. A dustproof net 8 is provided in the heat sink through holes 13 and at the front end of the back of the cooling fan 7. The cooling fan 7 takes away the heat of the coolant in the coolant tank 4, so that the coolant absorbs heat better. The dustproof net 8 can prevent dust from entering the heat sink 12 and affecting the heat dissipation.

[0026] Further improvements such as Figure 2 As shown in the figure, a plurality of heat sink fins 9 are provided at the top of the shell 1, the plurality of heat sink fins 9 extend in the front-to-back direction, and the plurality of heat sink fins 9 are arranged at equal intervals in the left-to-right direction. The shell 1 and the heat sink box 12 are integrally formed and the top ends are coplanar, and the plurality of heat sink fins 9 also extend to the top end of the heat sink box 12. The plurality of heat sink fins 9 increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the shell 1 and enhance the heat dissipation capacity of the edge computer.
