[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-9 , industrial switches usually need to work in harsh environments, such as high temperature, humidity, vibration, etc. If the device does not have sufficient environmental adaptability, it may lead to failures or shortened lifespan. Improving the environmental adaptability of the device is the key to ensuring the stable operation of industrial equipment in harsh environments. For example, using effective heat dissipation designs, such as heat sinks, fans, etc., to keep the device within an appropriate temperature range.

[0037] Conventional heat dissipation settings usually have openings in the inner cavity 17, dissipate heat through a fan, and cooperate with through holes to achieve air circulation. However, in a harsh environment, once there are a large number of dust particles, the use of this method will have a great impact on the lifespan of internal components. Moreover, since most electronic components are in a bare state, the attachment of dust will also cause short circuits in the components and affect the signal transmission speed. Based on this, this application provides an industrial network switch, including:

[0038] A housing 1, with a data exchange area 16 arranged inside the housing 1, forming an inner cavity 17. A network cable interface 14 is installed at the data exchange area 16 and extends to the outside of the housing 1;

[0039] A fastener 12 is also arranged on the outside of the housing 1 for fixing the housing 1

[0040] Industrial power supplies 19 are arranged on both sides of the inner wall of the inner cavity 17. A support plate 4 is arranged between the two industrial power supplies 19. A circuit board is installed on the top of the support plate 4;

[0041] A cover plate 3 is arranged on the top of the support plate 4. A heat conducting sheet 5 is arranged on the bottom of the cover plate 3, and the heat conducting sheet 5 is attached to the circuit board on the support plate 4.

[0042] The enclosed space inside the network switch is used to accommodate the internal components of the device. This inner cavity 17 is protected by the housing 1 and fixed by the fastener 12 to ensure its stability and sealing performance.

[0043] Data exchange area 16: The main functional area in the inner cavity 17, equipped with a network cable interface 14, enabling external network signals to be accessed and transmitted.

[0044] Power supply and support plate 4:

[0045] Industrial power supply 19: The power supply module arranged on both sides of the inner cavity 17, providing power support for the device. A support plate 4 is installed between the two power supplies.

[0046] Support plate 4: The support plate 4 serves as the support foundation for the circuit board, and the circuit board and other electronic components are installed on the top.

[0047] Cover plate 3 and heat sink 5:

[0048] Cover plate 3: It is placed on the top of the support plate 4 to cover and protect the circuit board and electronic components. The design of the cover plate 3 can enhance the sealing effect of the device and prevent dust and moisture from entering.

[0049] Heat sink 5: A heat sink 5 is provided at the bottom of the cover plate 3, and the heat sink 5 is attached to the circuit board and electronic components on the support plate 4. The function of the heat sink 5 is to improve the heat dissipation efficiency and ensure that the electronic components operate within an appropriate temperature range.

[0050] Heat dissipation mechanism:

[0051] Function of heat sink 5: The heat sink 5 conducts the heat generated by the electronic components effectively to the housing 1 through heat conduction, thereby preventing the device from overheating.

[0052] Function of housing 1: The housing 1 not only provides mechanical protection but also plays an auxiliary role in heat dissipation. It cooperates with the heat sink 5 to maintain the stability of the internal temperature.

[0053] The cooperation between the heat sink 5 and the cover plate 3 effectively manages the heat generated by the device, prevents performance degradation or failures caused by overheating, and thus improves the stability and reliability of the device.

[0054] The design of the cover plate 3 and the fastener 12 enhances the sealing of the inner cavity 17, prevents the intrusion of dust and moisture, and protects the internal components.

[0055] The heat is conducted to the housing 1 through the heat sink 5, maintaining the normal operating temperature of the circuit board and electronic components, thereby reducing the losses caused by overheating and extending the service life of the device.

[0056] The cover plate 3 and the good sealing design prevent the damage of dust and moisture to the internal components, further extending the life of the device.

[0057] The good heat dissipation and protection design reduce the failures caused by environmental factors, improving the normal operating time and working efficiency of the device.

[0058] This design enables the device to operate stably under a wider range of environmental conditions, including industrial environments with high temperature and high humidity.

[0059] Through a reasonable internal structure and protection design, the device can be conveniently inspected and its components replaced when maintenance is required, while reducing the impact of the external environment on the device.

[0060] The heat-conducting sheet 5 uses a hydrogel film heat-dissipating material to adhere to the surface of the circuit board, which can effectively conduct heat from the circuit board to the cover plate 3. In this way, the heat generated by the electronic components is more effectively managed and dissipated through the hydrogel material.

[0061] The flexibility of the hydrogel film enables it to closely adhere to the surfaces of various-shaped electronic components, thereby improving the heat conduction efficiency.

[0062] Since the hydrogel film is usually enclosed between the cover plate 3 and the heat-conducting sheet 5, it can effectively prevent direct contact of dust and moisture with the circuit board and electronic components.

[0063] The heat-dissipating performance of the hydrogel film is not significantly affected by environmental temperature fluctuations, thus ensuring the stable operation of the device under various environmental conditions.

[0064] Through effective heat management, the hydrogel film reduces the overheating phenomenon of electronic components, thereby reducing the thermal fatigue and aging of the components and extending the overall service life of the device.

[0065] The hydrogel material can smooth out temperature fluctuations and reduce the impact of temperature changes on electronic components.

[0075] Mounting hole 36: The mounting hole 36 provided at the top of the top plate 32 extends downward to the ventilation hole 34, forming an air guiding area 35. This design allows an external fan to be installed in this area, forming a good air flow path.

[0076] Outer area fan 2: The outer area fan 2 is installed in the mounting hole 36, and its function is to promote air flow. Combined with the air guiding area 35, it further accelerates the air circulation and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0077] Heat dissipation and air circulation:

[0078] Auxiliary heat dissipation: The air flow of the outer area fan 2 enters the ventilation hole 34 of the top plate 32 through the air guiding area 35, which can effectively take away the heat generated inside and prevent the performance of the device from decreasing due to overheating.

[0079] Air flow management: Through the precise layout of the ventilation holes 34 and the cooperative design of the fans, it is ensured that the air circulation inside the device is smooth, effectively maintaining the temperature stability of the electronic components.
