[0046] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, not all of the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present disclosure generally described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present disclosure provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure for which protection is sought, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments of the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0047] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this disclosure should have the usual meanings understood by people with ordinary skills in the field to which this disclosure belongs. The words "first", "second" and similar words used in this disclosure do not indicate any order, quantity or importance, but are only used to distinguish different components. Similarly, words such as "one", "an" or "the" do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the existence of at least one. Words such as "include" or "comprise" mean that the elements or objects appearing before the word include the elements or objects listed after the word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or objects. Words such as "connect" or "connected" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections, but may include electrical connections, whether direct or indirect. "Up", "down", "left", "right" and the like are only used to indicate relative positional relationships. When the absolute position of the object being described changes, the relative positional relationship may also change accordingly.

[0048] It should be noted that the descriptions in this disclosure such as “fixed connection” and “a certain structure is fixed on a certain structure” all refer to the relative fixation between the structures, and in fact they are all detachable.

[0049] In this disclosure, "multiple or several" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can mean: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0050] The edge computing device provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is a plug-in device for a display product. As a supplementary accessory for the display product, it can meet a variety of computing needs and effectively solve the problem of insufficient computing power when the display product supports AI functions.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the edge computing device includes a base plate 1, an outer shell 2 fixed to the base plate 1, and a core board 3; the outer shell 2 and the base plate 1 form a receiving space, the core board 3 is arranged in the receiving space, and is fixed on the base plate 1; the core board 3 includes at least a plurality of device interfaces 30. Exemplarily, the device interface 30 includes but is not limited to a network interface 301 (such as a standard RG45 network port), a high-definition multimedia interface 302 (HDMI), a universal serial bus (USB) interface 303, a device driver interface (DDI) 304, an audio interface (LINE interface) 305, and a power interface 306, etc.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the outer shell 2 includes a top cover 25, a first side panel 21 and a second side panel 22 arranged relatively along the length direction (X direction) of the top cover 25, and a third side panel 23 and a fourth side panel 24 arranged relatively along the width direction (Y direction) of the top cover 25. Among them, the first side panel 21, the second side panel 22 and the top cover 25 constitute an aluminum extrusion structure 20 connected as one, which means that the first side panel 21, the second side panel 22 and the top cover 25 can be formed by a one-time aluminum extrusion process. Compared with the traditional multi-processing process, the one-time molding of the embodiment of the present disclosure can save processing costs to the greatest extent, and also improve the processing efficiency of the outer shell 2. In addition, compared with the split assembly, the one-time molding reduces the assembly cost and improves the overall assembly efficiency of the edge computing device. The third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are set separately from the aluminum extrusion structure 20. During the assembly stage, they are fixedly connected to the aluminum extrusion structure 20 through connectors.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the third side panel 23 is fixedly connected to the first end A1 of the first side panel 21 and the first end A2 of the second side panel 22 at its ends in the length direction (X direction); the fourth side panel 24 is fixedly connected to the second end B1 of the first side panel 21 and the second end B2 of the second side panel 22 at its ends in the length direction (X direction). Here, the third side panel 23 is fixed at its ends to ensure a stable connection while retaining a large area of perforated space on the third side panel 23, providing more layout space for the subsequent first opening V1. Similarly, the fourth side panel 24 is fixed at its ends to ensure a stable connection while retaining a large area of open space on the fourth side panel 24, providing more layout space for the subsequent first opening V1. In addition, the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are respectively located on two sides opposite to each other in the width direction of the top cover 25, which means that the length direction of the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24, that is, the length direction of the top cover 25, ensures that the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 have sufficient opening area, providing sufficient layout space for the subsequent setting of the first opening V1.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are each provided with a first opening V1 extending through their respective thickness directions (Y direction), and the device interfaces 30 are aligned with the first openings V1 one by one. Here, at least a portion of the device interface 30 is disposed within the first opening V1 and is fixedly aligned with the first opening V1, facilitating electrical connection with external devices and enabling external communication.

[0055] It should be noted that all the device interfaces 30 in the accommodating space are electrically connected to the external device through the first opening V1 on the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24. This means that it is only necessary to open the first opening V1 on the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24, and there is no need to open openings on the first side panel 21 and the second side panel 22, which saves the hole-making process on the first side panel 21 and the second side panel 22. Optionally, the raw material of the third side panel 23 and the raw material of the fourth side panel 24 are stamped using a stamping process to form their respective first openings V1. The present disclosure can stamp out the first openings V1 that cooperate with all the device interfaces 30 in the edge computing device through one process, which can save processing costs to the greatest extent and also improve the processing efficiency of the outer shell 2.

[0056] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the outer contours of the third side plate 23 and the fourth side plate 24 have the same dimensions.

[0057] Optionally, the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are flat panels. The outer contours of the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are the same, and a single cutting process can be used to obtain multiple intermediate pieces of the same specifications. If different first openings V1 are required on the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24, the intermediate pieces can be further post-processed to form the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24.

[0058] In this embodiment, the outer contours of the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 are of the same size, which can ensure that multiple intermediate pieces can be cut at one time. Compared with the completely independent processing processes of the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24, the intermediate pieces of the third side panel 23 and the fourth side panel 24 in this embodiment can be processed at the same time, and a large number of intermediate pieces can be processed in one cutting process, especially for the manufacture of large quantities of products, which greatly saves processing costs and improves processing efficiency.

[0059] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 and Figure 7e As shown, the edge computing device also includes an indicator light board 4 located in the accommodation space; the indicator light board 4 includes a substrate 41 and a plurality of indicator lights 42 arranged on the substrate 41. The first opening V1 on the third side panel 23 includes a plurality of second sub-openings V12, all of which are of the same type; the plurality of second sub-openings V12 are arranged side by side in the length direction (X direction) of the third side panel 23. Some of the multiple device interfaces 30, such as the multiple HDMI interfaces 302, are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the indicator lights 42. The HDMI interfaces 302 cooperate with the second sub-openings V12 one-to-one.

[0060] The substrate 41 is fixedly connected to the third side panel 23. The third side panel 23 is also provided with a second opening V2 extending through the third side panel 23 along its thickness direction (Y direction). At least a portion of the indicator light 42 passes through the second opening V2 and extends to the side of the third side panel 23 facing away from the storage space. The indicator light 42 is electrically connected to the control circuit (not shown) on the core board 3 (as shown by the connection relationship indicated by the dotted line ①), and is used to indicate the on / off state of the corresponding device interface 30. For example, the indicator light 42 is controlled by the control circuit. When the control circuit detects that the device interface 30 corresponding to the indicator light 42 is connected to an external device, the indicator light 42 is controlled to illuminate. Conversely, when the control circuit does not detect that the device interface 30 corresponding to the indicator light 42 is connected to an external device (e.g., not inserted or unplugged), the indicator light 42 is controlled to extinguish.

[0061] This embodiment adds an indicator light board 4 to enable users to more intuitively judge whether the edge computing device is accurately connected to the external device, ensure the stable connection of the external device, and also facilitate the query of connection failures.

[0062] In some embodiments, regarding the connection method of the indicator light board 4, in one case, the substrate 41 of the indicator light board 4 is in direct contact with the surface of the third side panel 23 near the receiving space, and the two are fixedly connected using a connector. In another case, the indicator light board 4 is padded by a first fixing block 51, so that a certain distance is provided between the substrate 41 and the third side panel 23. Because the substrate 41 is provided with a circuit structure for electrically connecting to the indicator light 42, the certain distance between the substrate 41 and the third side panel 23 can improve the insulation between the two, ensuring the stability of the signal on the indicator light board 4.

[0063] Specifically, if Figure 2 As shown, a first fixing block 51 is provided on the side of the third side panel 23 close to the accommodation space; a first fixing hole 61 is provided on the end of the first fixing block 51 away from the third side panel 23. The first fixing hole 61 is a countersunk hole. A first connecting hole 411 corresponding to the first fixing hole 61 is provided on the substrate 41; the edge computing device further includes a first connecting member (not shown in the figure); the first connecting member passes through the first connecting hole 411 and is fixed to the first fixing hole 61, and is used to fix the indicator light board 4 to the third side panel 23.

[0064] Optionally, the first connection holes 411 include a plurality of, for example, two, first connection holes 411 , which are respectively provided near the ends of the substrate 41 in the length direction (X direction) thereof.

[0065] For example, the first fixing block 51 is a stud having an internally threaded hole, i.e., the internal thread is the first fixing hole 61. The first connecting hole 411 is a through hole, and the first connecting member is a screw. During assembly, the screw passes through the first connecting hole 411 and is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby securing the indicator light board 4.

[0066] Optionally, the first fixing block 51 is grounded to prevent electric shock.

[0067] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the edge computing device also includes an antenna 7, which includes a main RF unit 71 and a connecting portion 72 connected to one end of the main RF unit 71. The main RF unit 71 is used to transmit or receive RF signals. The connecting portion 72 is used to fix the internal antenna 7 to the fourth side plate 24.

[0068] The main RF portion 71 is located on the side of the fourth side plate 24 away from the accommodating space; the fourth side plate 24 is also provided with a third opening V3 that passes through the fourth side plate 24 in the thickness direction (Y direction); the connecting portion 72 is fixedly connected to the third opening V3. Optionally, the outer surface of the connecting portion 72 includes a thread, and the outer shell of the connecting portion 72 can be understood as a screw; the third opening V3 is a threaded hole, and the connecting portion 72 can be screwed into the threaded hole to achieve the fixation of the antenna 7. The connection between the main RF portion 71 and the connecting portion 72 is a movable connection. When the connecting portion 72 is fixed, the main RF portion 71 can be rotated clockwise and / or counterclockwise with the connecting portion 72 as the axis and the reference plane where the fourth side surface is located as the rotation plane.

[0069] The main RF part 71 includes an antenna housing 711 and a RF line (not shown in the figure) arranged in the antenna housing 711, and a lead wire 712 electrically connected to the RF line; one end of the lead wire 712 passes through the interior of the connecting part 72 and extends into the accommodating space, and is electrically connected to the antenna port 3a on the core board 3 (as shown in the connection relationship of the dotted line ②).

[0070] In this embodiment, the antenna 7 is connected to the core board 3 only through the third opening V3 on the fourth side panel 24. Compared with the related technology in which the third opening V3 is set on all four side panels of the edge computing device, this embodiment only needs to open the third opening V3 on the fourth side panel 24. All the third openings V3 corresponding to the antenna 7 can be formed by one stamping, thereby saving processing costs and improving processing efficiency.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7d As shown, the first opening V1 on the fourth side panel 24 includes multiple sub-openings, namely, a first sub-opening V11, a third sub-opening V13, a fourth sub-opening V14, a fifth sub-opening V15, and a sixth sub-opening V16. Some of the multiple device interfaces 30, such as the RG45 network port 301, the USB port 303, the DDI port 304, the LINE port 305, and the power port 306, respectively, mate with the first sub-opening V11, the third sub-opening V13, the fourth sub-opening V14, the fifth sub-opening V15, and the sixth sub-opening V16 on the fourth side panel 24.

[0072] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the third opening V3 and the first opening V1 that cooperates with the DDI interface are arranged side by side in the width direction of the fourth side plate 24 .

[0073] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 As shown, the core board 3 also includes a base board 31 and a control chip 32 that sets the value of the base board 31 away from the side of the base board 1. Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the edge computing device also includes a heat conductive block 81 ; the heat conductive block 81 is arranged on a side of the control chip 32 away from the base plate 31 , and is used to conduct heat on the control chip 32 to the top cover 25 .

[0074] Optionally, the material of the heat conducting block 81 can be a material with a high thermal conductivity, such as copper or aluminum, which improves the heat conduction efficiency compared to conventional silicone materials and facilitates rapid heat dissipation. It should be noted that when the heat conducting block 81 is made of an electrically conductive thermally conductive material, insulating members, such as insulating thermal pads 82, are provided between the ends of the heat conducting block 81 and the control chip 32 and the top cover 25, respectively.

[0075] Optionally, the heat conducting block 81 may also be made of an insulating material with good thermal conductivity. In this case, both ends of the heat conducting block 81 in the height direction may directly contact the control chip 32 and the top cover 25 to achieve rapid heat conduction.

[0076] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 As shown, the edge computing device also includes at least two thermal pads 82, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the thermal block 81 along its height direction (Z direction) and are in contact with the top cover 25 and the control chip 32 respectively.

[0077] Optionally, the material of the thermal pad 82 is liquid silicone grease. Utilizing the thermal pad 82 to fill the gap between the heat conducting block 81 and the top cover 25 can increase heat transfer efficiency and more effectively transfer heat from the control chip 32 to the top cover 25 .

[0078] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7a As shown, the top cover 25 includes a first sub-shell 251 and a first heat sink 252 arranged on the side of the first sub-shell 251 away from the accommodating space. The first sub-shell 251 and the first heat sink 252 are part of the aluminum extrusion structure 20, that is, the first sub-shell 251 and the first heat sink 252 are also formed in one step through a single aluminum extrusion process.

[0079] Optionally, the first heat sink 252 includes multiple first heat sinks 252, the main extension direction of the first heat sink 252 is the width direction (Y direction) of the first sub-shell 251, and the multiple first heat sinks 252 are arranged side by side along the length direction (X direction) of the first sub-shell 251, and the multiple first heat sinks 252 are parallel to each other.

[0080] In this embodiment, a large number of first heat sinks 252 (fins) are provided on the top of the edge computing device, which can increase the heat exchange area between the outer shell 2 of the edge computing device and the external environment, thereby achieving rapid heat dissipation of the control chip 32.

[0081] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7b As shown, the first side panel 21 includes a second sub-shell 211 and a second heat sink 212 arranged on the side of the second sub-shell 211 away from the accommodating space. The second sub-shell 211 and the second heat sink 212 are part of the aluminum extrusion structure 20, that is, the second sub-shell 211 and the second heat sink 212 are also formed in one step through a single aluminum extrusion process.

[0082] Optionally, the second heat sink 212 includes multiple second heat sinks 212, the main extension direction of the second heat sink 212 is the length direction (Y direction) of the second sub-shell 211, and the multiple second heat sinks 212 are arranged side by side along the width direction (Z direction) of the second sub-shell 211, and the multiple second heat sinks 212 are parallel to each other.

[0083] In this embodiment, a large number of second heat sinks 212 (fins) are provided on one side surface (first side panel 21) of the edge computing device, which can increase the heat exchange area between the outer shell 2 of the edge computing device and the external environment, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the accommodation space.

[0084] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 7c As shown, the second side panel 22 includes a third sub-shell 221 and a third heat sink 222 arranged on a side of the third sub-shell 221 away from the accommodating space. The third sub-shell 221 and the third heat sink 222 are part of the aluminum extrusion structure 20, that is, the third sub-shell 221 and the third heat sink 222 are also formed in one step through a single aluminum extrusion process.

[0085] Optionally, the third heat sink 222 includes multiple third heat sinks 222, the main extension direction of the third heat sink 222 is the length direction (Y direction) of the third sub-shell 221, and the multiple third heat sinks 222 are arranged side by side along the width direction (Z direction) of the third sub-shell 221, and the multiple third heat sinks 222 are parallel to each other.

[0086] In this embodiment, a large number of third heat sinks 222 (fins) are provided on one side surface (second side panel 22) of the edge computing device, which can increase the heat exchange area between the outer shell 2 of the edge computing device and the external environment, thereby achieving rapid cooling of the accommodation space.

[0087] In some embodiments, the outer shell 2 and the bottom plate 1 are made of the same material, aluminum. That is, the top cover 25, the first side plate 21, the second side plate 22, the third side plate 23, the fourth side plate 24, and the bottom plate 1 are all made of aluminum, which can achieve efficient heat conduction.

[0088] Combining the aforementioned thermal block 81, thermal pad 82, heat sinks, and the high thermal conductivity of the outer shell 2, the edge computing device provided by the disclosed embodiments can rapidly dissipate heat from the storage space and the core board 3 within it.
