Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of routers, in particular to an industrial wireless router. Background Art

[0002] Industrial-grade routers generally refer to those that use high-performance chips and operating systems to achieve high-load operation and can meet the data transmission needs of industrial network informatization. Based on the above characteristics, the differences in the use of industrial-grade routers and home-grade routers are determined. First, ultra-high stability is required; second, the energy efficiency ratio of high-performance chips is maintained; and third, the ability to be used in harsh industrial environments.

[0003] Based on the above requirements, the industrial-grade router must have good sealing and heat dissipation capabilities. Most existing routers use holes in the side walls of the shell to dissipate heat through ventilation. However, this heat dissipation method inevitably causes some dust to enter the shell in places with high dust content. In addition, a large amount of dust accumulates in the heat dissipation holes, which easily causes the heat dissipation holes to lose their original heat dissipation effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above description, the present invention provides an industrial wireless router to solve the shortcomings of existing routers that mostly use side openings for heat dissipation. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve the heat dissipation effect in some places with high dust content, and it is very easy for dust to enter the interior of the shell, affecting the normal operation of internal components.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An industrial wireless router includes a router housing, wherein a top surface of the router housing is penetrated by a plurality of ventilation holes, a heat conductor is vertically arranged in each ventilation hole, and both ends of the heat conductor are respectively sealed to the top and bottom surfaces of the router housing. The top surface of the router housing is also provided with a slide groove, an air guide frame is movably installed in the slide groove, and a cooling fan is provided at the center of the top surface of the air guide frame.

[0007] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present invention can also be improved as follows.

[0008] Furthermore, the heat conducting part includes an upper fixing ring, a lower fixing ring and a heat conducting pipe, wherein the lower fixing ring is fixedly embedded in the lower port of the through hole, and the upper fixing ring is fixedly sleeved on the top outer wall of the heat conducting pipe. When the bottom end of the heat conducting pipe is vertically inserted downward into the interior of the lower fixing ring, the upper fixing ring is just completely embedded in the interior of the upper port of the ventilation hole, and the outer side wall of the upper fixing ring and the inner side wall of the top of the ventilation hole are provided with matching threaded structures and are riveted fixed.

[0009] Furthermore, the heat conduction pipe is composed of an aluminum tube or copper tube in the center and stainless steel metal tubes at both ends, and the inner part of the port of the stainless steel metal tube protrudes inward to form a hexagonal hole, and the outer wall of the stainless steel metal tube at the bottom and the inner wall of the lower fixing ring are provided with matching threaded structures.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of heat dissipation fins are provided inside the heat conducting pipe. The heat dissipation fins are arranged in a circular array around the center of the heat conducting pipe and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the heat conducting pipe.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the top opening of the ventilation hole extends inward to form a folded edge, the top surface of the folded edge is provided with a sealing ring, and the bottom surface of the upper fixing ring is tightly fitted with the top surface of the sealing ring.

[0012] Furthermore, the slide extends from the edge of the router shell toward the other side, and a plug-in plate is vertically provided at the bottom of the air guide frame and is slidably inserted into the slide, and when the end face of the plug-in plate abuts against the inner wall of the slide, the air guide frame completely covers all the ventilation holes.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] 1. The present application dissipates heat based on heat transfer. A number of ventilation holes are set on the top of the shell, and a heat conductor is used as a sealing material to keep the interior of the shell sealed. The heat conductor is used to quickly transfer the internal heat to the outside, and the heat is taken away by the airflow caused by the cooling fan. In this process, the sealed shell can effectively prevent the router from being interfered with by external factors. At the same time, these ventilation holes can be arranged according to the placement of the internal electronic components of the shell, so that they are close to the heat source to improve the cooling effect. The number can be increased or decreased according to specific usage requirements, and the use is very flexible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0020] To facilitate understanding of the present application, the present application will be described more fully below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The accompanying drawings provide embodiments of the present application. However, the present application may be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application.

[0022] Combine Figure 1-4 As shown, an industrial wireless router includes:

[0023] The router housing 1 is the main body of the router, which is used to install various electronic components and has various interfaces on the end surfaces of the side walls for electrical connection with external devices;

[0024] Ventilation holes 2 are provided in plurality and arranged on the top surface of the router housing 1 and penetrate the housing from top to bottom;

[0025] There are multiple heat conducting members 3, which are installed in a one-to-one correspondence inside the vent holes 2 to form a seal inside the shell and diffuse the heat inside the shell to the outside of the shell by heat transfer;

[0026] The air guide frame 4 is arranged on the top of the router housing 1 and is connected to the router housing 1 using a detachable mounting structure. A cooling fan 5 is provided at the center of the top surface to accelerate the movement speed of the air flow and improve the heat dissipation effect.

[0027] Specifically, the heat conducting member 3 is divided into three parts: an upper fixing ring 31, a lower fixing ring 32 and a heat conducting pipe 33. The lower fixing ring 32 is fixedly embedded in the bottom end of the ventilation hole 2 so that it is flush with the surface of the router housing 1, and the upper fixing ring 31 is fixedly connected to the top end of the heat conducting pipe 33 in an integrated manner. When the heat conducting pipe 33 is vertically inserted into the ventilation hole 2, the bottom end of the heat conducting pipe 33 extends downward to and is inserted into the lower fixing ring 32. At this time, the upper fixing ring 31 can be completely embedded in the opening at the top end of the ventilation hole 2, and in order to ensure sealing and stability, a threaded structure should be used to assemble the inner wall of the lower fixing ring 32 and the bottom end of the heat conducting pipe 33.

[0028] In addition, in the structure of the heat pipe 33, the heat pipe 33 is welded into one piece by a copper tube or aluminum tube in the middle and stainless steel metal tubes at both ends. The purpose is to use the copper tube or aluminum tube for heat conduction, and the copper tube or aluminum tube is relatively soft. Therefore, the stainless steel metal tubes at both ends are used to improve the stability of the heat pipe 33 structure and prevent deformation of the installation site due to factors such as impact or extrusion. In addition, to facilitate installation, the inner walls of the stainless steel metal tubes at both ends should be partially protruded to form an inner hexagonal hole so that it can be subsequently installed or disassembled using an inner hexagonal wrench.

[0029] Among them, the copper tube or aluminum tube located in the middle is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation fins 34 on its inner annular surface, that is, a plurality of extremely thin metal sheets are integrally connected to the tube wall. The outer wall of the copper tube or aluminum tube contacts the hot air inside the router housing 1, and quickly transfers the heat to the heat dissipation fins 34 and contacts the external air, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect. Moreover, in this structure, the interior of the router housing 1 remains sealed.

[0030] At the same time, in order to improve the convenience of disassembly and assembly of the heat conductor 3, the outer wall of the upper fixing ring 31 and the inner wall of the top of the ventilation hole 2 should also be threadedly assembled. Therefore, during assembly, they can be quickly combined by simply turning the knob. In order to further improve the sealing effect, a folded edge 21 can be provided on the inner wall of the top of the ventilation hole 2, and a sealing ring 22 is provided on the top surface of the folded edge 21. When the upper fixing ring 31 is fully embedded in the ventilation hole 2, the top surface of the sealing ring 22 fits tightly with the bottom surface of the upper fixing ring 31.

[0031] A plug-in plate is vertically provided at the bottom of the air guide frame 4 and is slidably inserted into the inside of the slide groove 11. The two slide grooves 11 are arranged on the top surface of the router shell 1 and extend from the side wall of the router toward the other side. When the side wall of the plug-in plate of the air guide frame 4 abuts against the inner wall of the slide groove 11, the air guide frame 4 covers all the ventilation holes 2 on the top surface of the router shell 1, thereby exhausting air through the fan and increasing the air circulation speed.

[0032] In the above structure, the ventilation holes 2 should be arranged as close as possible to the electronic components inside the router, that is, around the heat source, so that the heat inside the shell can be transferred to the outside of the shell more efficiently. At the same time, the ventilation holes 2 should be arranged as many as possible and can completely cover the inside of the shell.

[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
