[0027] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a network switch with an efficient heat dissipation function, including a switch main body 1 and a heat dissipation component 2. The heat dissipation component 2 is installed on the upper end of the switch main body 1. The heat dissipation component 2 includes a heat dissipation cover plate 24. The corners of the heat dissipation cover plate 24 are installed on the switch main body 1 through connecting screws 5. The heat dissipation component 2 includes a centrifugal motor 21. An air outlet 12 is opened at the upper right end of the switch main body 1. A centrifugal motor 21 is installed on the air outlet 12 through a motor bracket 23. A fan blade 22 is fixed outside the centrifugal motor 21. A blowing cavity 25 is fixed at the lower end of the heat dissipation cover plate 24. The inner diameter of the blowing cavity 25 corresponds to the diameter of the fan blade 22. Multiple groups of windshield strips 26 are fixed at the lower end of the heat dissipation cover plate 24. The windshield strips 26 are arranged at intervals to form an air duct structure. A heat dissipation port 27 is opened on the left side of the heat dissipation cover plate 24;
[0028] During use, the centrifugal motor 21 drives the fan blade 22 to rotate at high speed. During the rotation of the fan blade 22, by the action of centrifugal force, the hot air inside the switch body 1 is sucked in from the air outlet 12, and is accelerated and extracted by the airflow generated by the rotation. The main function of the air blowing cavity 25 is to provide a semi-closed space for the fan blade 22, so that the fan blade 22 can more effectively extract the hot air inside the switch when rotating. The wind deflector 26 guides the airflow to flow orderly inside the switch, and the heat dissipation opening 27 is opened on the heat dissipation cover plate 24 or the switch body 1, serving as the main discharge channel for the hot air.
[0029] An air inlet 11 is provided on the left side of the switch body 1. The position of the air inlet 11 and the position of the air outlet 12 are diagonal. The diagonal setting of the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 helps to form a more uniform and effective air flow path.
[0030] A power port 4 is installed on the left side of the switch body 1, and multiple groups of network interfaces 3 are installed on the rear side of the switch body 1. The power port 4 is the interface for the switch to connect to an external power supply, used to provide stable power supply for the switch. The network interface 3 is the interface for the switch to connect to external network devices such as computers, servers, routers, etc., used to realize the forwarding and communication of data packets.
[0031] The centrifugal motor 21 is a brushless motor, and the brushless motor has higher efficiency and longer service life during operation.
[0032] A key groove 241 is provided on the outer side of the lower end of the heat dissipation cover plate 24, and a groove 13 is opened on the outer side of the upper end of the switch body 1. The groove 13 corresponds to the key groove 241. The design of the key groove 241 and the groove 13 enables the heat dissipation cover plate 24 to be accurately aligned with the switch body 1 during installation, and the tight fit between the key groove 241 and the groove 13 helps to reduce the gap between the heat dissipation cover plate 24 and the switch body 1, thereby improving the airtightness of the air duct.
[0033] An installation plate 6 is fixed to the front end of the switch body 1. Four groups of installation holes 61 are provided on both sides of the installation plate 6. Through the installation plate 6, the switch body 1 can be firmly installed on a cabinet, wall or other specified positions, ensuring its stability and safety during operation. The installation holes 61 are holes pre-opened on both sides of the installation plate 6, used to receive and fix installation screws or other fasteners.
[0034] As an embodiment of the present utility model: When cleaning a network switch with an efficient heat dissipation function, first remove the connection screws 5 connecting the heat dissipation cover plate 24 and the switch body 1. After the heat dissipation cover plate 24 is removed, the air blowing cavity 25, the wind deflector 26 and the air duct structure inside the switch body 1 can be directly seen, facilitating their removal and cleaning;
[0035] By fixing the wind deflector 26 and the air blast chamber 25 to the lower end of the heat dissipation cover plate 24, not only is the flow path of the air flow optimized and the heat dissipation efficiency improved, but also a flat cleaning surface is given to the upper end of the switch during disassembly. The flat surface facilitates the removal of accumulated dust and debris. After confirming that all components are clean and dry, the heat dissipation cover plate 24 is reinstalled on the switch body 1. The design of the key slot 241 and the groove 13 enables the heat dissipation cover plate 24 to be accurately aligned with the switch body 1 during installation, and the tight fit between the key slot 241 and the groove 13 helps to reduce the gap between the heat dissipation cover plate 24 and the switch body 1, improving the airtightness of the air duct. Thus, the cleaning of the network switch with efficient heat dissipation function is completed.
