[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments in this application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0024] See also Figure 1 、 3 .
[0025] The edge terminal shell structure of the present invention includes an outer shell 1, and a plurality of slots 101 for installing sockets are opened on the outer shell 1, and also includes a plurality of baffle assemblies 2 corresponding to the plurality of slots 101 one by one, and the baffle assembly 2 includes two vertical plates 201 respectively arranged on the two side walls of the slot 101, a top plate 202 horizontally arranged between the two vertical plates 201 and spaced from the top wall of the slot 101, and a baffle 203 arranged between the two vertical plates 201 and capable of blocking the slot 101, and the baffle 203 can be rotated to be parallel to the top plate 202 and enter the gap between the top plate 202 and the top wall of the slot 101.
[0026] The edge terminal shell structure of the present invention can block the slot 101 through the baffle assembly 2 when the socket is not in use to prevent dust from falling. When the socket is in use, the baffle 203 can be rotated to be parallel to the top plate 202 and enter the gap between the top plate 202 and the top wall of the slot 101. The horizontal state of the baffle 203 can be maintained by the gap without manual maintenance. Then, when operating the plug and the socket, one hand can keep it stable and the other hand can perform the connection operation, which is convenient to operate.
[0027] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 3The baffle 203 includes a rotating shaft 2031 and a plate 2032 connected to the rotating shaft 2031. The two vertical plates 201 are each provided with a slide groove 2011 along the depth direction of the slot 101. The ends of the rotating shaft 2031 rotate and slide in the two slide grooves 2011. This design allows the baffle 203 to rotate parallel to the top plate 202 and enter the gap between the top plate 202 and the top wall of the slot 101, resulting in a simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
[0028] In this embodiment, the top plate 202 abuts against the plate body 2032 when the plate body 2032 blocks the slot 101. It should be noted that the baffle 203 remains perpendicular to the top plate 202 when blocking the slot 101. This design prevents dust from falling into the slot 101.
[0029] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 The slide slot 2011 includes a sliding portion 2011a and a clamping portion 2011b disposed at the end of the sliding portion 2011a and located inside the notch 101. The clamping portion 2011b can be engaged with the rotating shaft 2031. This design, through the engagement of the clamping portion 2011b with the rotating shaft 2031, fixes the baffle 203 in a horizontal position, preventing it from moving out and affecting the connection between the plug and the socket.
[0030] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 、 4 The rotating shaft 2031 includes a shaft body 2031a, two connecting rods 2031b elastically inserted along the length of the shaft body 2031a, and two spheres 2031c respectively provided on the two connecting rods 2031b. The clamping portion 2011b is provided along the width of the slot 101 and is hemispherical in shape. The spheres 2031c are engaged with the clamping portions 2011b. With this design, when the baffle 203 enters the upper space of the top plate 202, the spheres 2031c first slide within the sliding portion 2011a. When they slide to the clamping portion 2011b, the connecting rod 2031b extends, and the spheres 2031c enter the clamping portion 2011b and engage with each other. The elastic insertion of the connecting rod 2031b is achieved by a spring.
[0031] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 The connecting side of the clamping portion 2011b and the sliding portion 2011a is rounded. With this design, when removing the baffle 203 from the space above the top plate 202, the baffle 203 only needs to be pulled slightly, and the ball 2031c is squeezed and contracted by the clamping portion 2011b and can move out and into the sliding portion 2011a along the curved surface of the clamping portion 2011b.
[0032] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 The outer shell 1 is provided with a plurality of vents 102 on both sides and the top, and a fan is provided at the vents 102 at the top. This design strengthens the air flow inside the outer shell 1 and enhances heat dissipation through the fan.
[0033] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 Filter assemblies 3 are hingedly connected to the vents 102 on the corresponding sides of the outer shell 1, and the filter assemblies 3 can be snap-fitted into the outer shell 1. This design allows the filter assemblies 3 to perform preliminary dust removal on the air entering the housing. After dust removal, the filter assemblies 3 can be opened for regular cleaning via the hinged feature to prevent clogging of the filter assemblies 3. The snap-fitting of the filter assemblies 3 and the outer shell 1 can be achieved using existing snap-fit structures.
[0034] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The filter assembly 3 includes a filter 301, a drive block 302 rotatably mounted on the filter 301, and two sets of brushes 303, respectively mounted on either side of the filter 301 and capable of rotating with the drive block 302 to scrape the surface of the filter 301. This design allows the brushes 303 to clean both sides of the filter 301 by rotating the drive block 302, making operation convenient. The drive block 302 is located in the middle of the filter 301, and each set of brushes 303 includes two.
[0035] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The two groups of brushes 303 are staggered. This design allows the brushes 303 to alternately clean the same position when cleaning both sides of the filter 301, thereby enhancing the cleaning effect.
