[0030] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides an industrial network switch, including: a housing assembly 10, an interface box 20, a control assembly 30, a power assembly 40 and a heat dissipation assembly 50, the housing assembly 10 includes an upper cover 11 and a bottom shell 12, the bottom shell 12 is provided with a plurality of partitions 121 to divide the bottom shell 12 into a plurality of installation areas 122, each installation area 122 is provided with a sliding portion 123 and a clamping portion; the interface box 20 is provided with a quick-release structure 21, an interface 22, a sliding member 23 and a clamping member, the quick-release structure The interface 21 and the interface 22 are fixed on the same side of the interface box 20, the sliding member 23 cooperates with the sliding part 123, the clamping member is adapted to the clamping part, and a daughter card circuit board for data transmission and / or communication conversion is arranged in the interface box 20; the control component 30 is fixedly connected to the housing component 10, and the interface 22 is electrically connected to the control component 30; the power supply component 40 is arranged in the installation area 122, and the power supply interface 41 of the power supply component 40 is electrically connected to the control component 30; the heat dissipation component 50 is arranged on the housing component 10. The daughter card circuit board is mainly used for data transmission and conversion, and realizes the functions of data input, output, switching, etc. on the control component 30.

[0031] Through the quick-release structure 21, the sliding member 23 and the card connector of the interface box 20, the function of the interface box 20 and the installation area 122 being detachable and replaceable is realized, and multiple interfaces 22 can be arranged and selected, and can be connected to the control component 30 after assembly. The industrial network switch configured in this way has a compact structure, better adaptability of replaceable interfaces, and a wider range of applications. The present application effectively solves the problem that the interface types of industrial network switches in the prior art are many and the adaptability is poor when facing different needs. The setting of the clamping part and the card connector is used to push the interface box 20 into the installation area 122 for fixed connection. Specifically, it can be a connection method using a mortise and tenon structure, or a setting of a hook and a limit step, etc., which can realize the connection of the interface box 20. The circuit output end of the interface box 20 is set on the side opposite to the interface 22. Such a connection is more convenient and the stability of the electrical connection is better.

[0032] It should be noted that multiple types of interfaces 22 can be set on the same interface box 20, and a circuit structure is set inside the interface box 20 to facilitate electrical connection with the control component 30, and there are multiple installation areas 122. The interface box 20 can also be multiple and installed in the installation area 122 respectively, so as to achieve the purpose of increasing or decreasing the interface. In order to avoid the waste of interfaces and the exposure of the opening of the industrial network switch, a cover plate for closing the opening of the installation area 122 can also be set, and the cover plate can be detachably connected. Such a setting can cover the opening in the case of fewer interfaces, avoid the intrusion of water vapor or dust, and play a protective role. Furthermore, the interface of the interface box 20 can also cooperate with the cover plate to set an open state and a closed state, so that the interface 22 can be protected.

[0033] Furthermore, the upper cover 11 and the bottom shell 12 are detachably connected, and such a setting is more conducive to assembly. Specifically, the detachable connection can be achieved by setting buckles, plug-in connectors, etc. at the position where the two are in contact. Such a structural setting is compact and easy to assemble. The control component 30 includes a plurality of functional circuit boards 31, and each functional circuit board 31 is fixedly connected to the shell component 10. The plurality of functional circuit boards 31 is conducive to the adaptation of the interface 22, and the electrical connection method is more selective, which is suitable for complex needs. The power interface 41 of the power supply component 40 is detachably connected to the shell component 10, so that the interchangeability is stronger and it is convenient for maintenance.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, a plurality of sliding parts 123 are provided in the installation area 122, and the sliding parts 23 of one or more interface boxes 20 cooperate with the sliding parts 123. Such a setting enables one or more interface boxes 20 to be installed in an installation area 122, and such a setting structure is more compact, and the setting of internal components can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the industrial network switch. The plurality of interface boxes 20 can be different types of card boxes, such as electrical port sub-card boxes and optical port sub-card boxes, and different numbers of electrical port sub-card boxes and optical port sub-card boxes can be installed according to different configuration quantities and types.

[0035] It should be noted that there are multiple sliding members 23, and there are correspondingly multiple sliding parts 123. The multiple sliding members 23 can achieve mutual limiting effects to ensure the accuracy of the sliding direction, thereby avoiding large deviations in sliding.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the sliding member 23 is a slider, the sliding portion 123 is a guide rail, and the slider is adapted to the guide rail. The settings of the slider and the guide rail can be adapted to each other and can be mutually limited from multiple directions. Such a setting makes the sliding direction accurate, and the relevant precision can be set along the guide rail. In an optional embodiment, the guide rails are respectively arranged on the top and side of the interface box 20, and the corresponding sliding portion 123 is also arranged on the top and side, so that the extension directions of the sliders are perpendicular to each other, limiting the circumferential freedom of the interface box 20, that is, it can only slide along the setting direction of the guide rail, and the limiting effects of the two positions cooperate with each other to achieve a better limiting effect, and it is not easy to fall off.

[0037] It should be noted that when there are multiple interface boxes 20, mutually cooperating guide rails and sliders can be set on adjacent interface boxes 20. Such a setting can connect the two interface boxes 20 into one, making the structure more compact and easier to assemble. The structural stability after connection is stronger and the connection effect is better.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the slider and the guide rail are both linear structures. The linear structure makes the arrangement of the guide rail simple, the sliding direction of the interface box 20 clear, and the accuracy is higher, which is more conducive to the arrangement and matching of the clamping part and the clamping piece.

[0039] In the technical solution of this embodiment, the sliding part 123 includes a plurality of guide pieces, each of which is fixedly connected to the partition 121 or the housing assembly 10, and the area between each two guide pieces forms a guide rail. The arrangement of the guide pieces makes the guide rail the spacing area between the two guide pieces, so that the slider can be adapted to enter between the guide pieces. Because the interface box 20 can be completely separated from the housing assembly 10, the slider and the guide rail are completely separated. The arrangement of the guide pieces can form an opening for the slider to enter and slide out, and can achieve the adaptation of different interface boxes 20.

[0040] Furthermore, the guide rail opening formed by the guide plates gradually decreases in the direction of extending into the guide rail, so that the opening portion of the guide rail can form a guiding structure, that is, the larger opening can guide the slider into the guide rail. This arrangement makes the interface box 20 more adaptable when inserted and makes the installation of the interface box 20 more convenient.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, there are two sliding members 23, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the interface box 20, and one side where the sliding member 23 is arranged is adjacent to one side where the interface 22 is arranged. Such an arrangement makes the sliding direction of the interface box 20 fixed, and is restricted by the partitions 121 on the opposite sides, and the structure is more compact and stable.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the interface box 20 includes a box body 24, and the quick-release structure 21 is an extension arm, and the extension arm and the box body 24 are an integrally formed structure. The setting of the extension arm is used to pull the interface box 20 from the outside, so as to achieve the detachment and replacement of the interface box 20. The extension arm specifically forms a hook-shaped structure on one side of the interface box 20. Such a setting structure is compact and occupies less space, and is suitable for assembly. There are multiple extension arms, and pulling multiple extension arms at the same time can avoid the situation where the extension arms are subjected to concentrated force and break.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the heat dissipation component 50 is fixedly arranged on the upper cover 11, and the bottom of the heat dissipation component 50 contacts the control component 30. The heat dissipation component 50 is mainly used for heat dissipation of the control component 30 to reduce the temperature of the control component 30 and make its operating environment optimal.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the heat dissipation assembly 50 includes a plurality of stacked heat dissipation fins. The stacked heat dissipation assembly 50 can form a large area of ​​heat exchange with the air, which has a better heat dissipation effect and is also conducive to the flow of gas, taking away more heat.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in the technical solution of this embodiment, the power interface 41 is detachably connected to the bottom shell 12 through a fastener. Specifically, the power interface 41 is detachably connected to the bottom shell 12 through a fastener. The power interface 41 is used to connect one end of the power supply assembly 40, and is electrically connected to the internal control assembly 30 through a fastener, so that the power supply assembly 40 is connected in the circuit for energy use. The power interface 41 can extend to the side of the power supply assembly 40 away from the control assembly 30, so that the power interface 41 forms a limiting and fixing effect on the power supply assembly 40 after being fixed. Such a setting has a stable connection, a clever setting, and a more compact structure, which is conducive to the layout of industrial network switches. A plurality of lifting rings are provided on one side of the power supply assembly 40 close to the power interface 41. The power supply assembly 40 is specifically a modular combined power supply. The setting of the lifting ring facilitates pushing and pulling, thereby realizing installation and replacement.

[0046] It should be noted that multiple installation areas 122 can be used to install multiple power supply components 40, which can increase the settings of the power supply components 40. When the power supply components 40 use energy storage devices, they can also provide the industrial network switch with a longer service life and long-term stable output power.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the bottom shell 12 can be made of a metal plate, which is bent to form a U-shaped structure, and a corresponding matching notch is set at the side of the bottom shell 12 corresponding to the position of the heat dissipation component 50, which is more compact and leaves three-sided gas flow openings for the heat dissipation component 50. The four corners of the bottom shell 12 are connected with connecting flanges 60, which are L-shaped plates and have handles on them. Such a setting is convenient for lifting during assembly without affecting the structure of the industrial network switch, and multiple connecting flanges 60 can also meet the requirements of hoisting when they are matched.

[0048] There can be multiple functional circuit boards 31, which are combined and electrically connected to each other, specifically a PCB board, which can include a main board PCBA, a warning terminal PCBA, a power interface PCBA, and a backplane PCBA, wherein the backplane PCBA is provided with a mounting plate, specifically a partition 121 arranged vertically inside.
