They can meet key requirements in the industry's digital construction process for rapid deployment, real-time data collection, intelligent identification, efficient data analysis and processing, data optimization and decision-making, and user data security and privacy protection. They can provide real-time, dynamic, intelligent, secure, and efficient computing services for end-user scenarios, and are therefore widely used in medical equipment.

[0003] After searching, the Chinese patent application number CN202321709151.5 discloses an edge computer, including an upper shell part and a lower shell part, the upper shell part covers the lower shell part, and a accommodating cavity is formed between the upper shell part and the lower shell part. However, since the above technical solution still provides a cooling fan and other structures in the edge computer casing, the overall power consumption of the edge computer is still relatively high, and the heat dissipated is still relatively large. Therefore, it is not suitable for application in fields such as the medical field that have high requirements on equipment power and heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0012] As a further solution of the present invention: side grooves are respectively opened on the outer walls of both sides of the computer housing, and a filter is provided on the inner wall of one side of the side groove; and a plurality of heat dissipation fins are fixed on the inner wall of the side groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0014] 1. The antenna interface, SD card slot, RS232 / DP9 male connector mounting slot, network port slot, USB slot, and screw-type power supply mounting slot are all located on the same side of the computer housing, making it easier to connect the edge computer. Compared to other edge computers on the market, the edge computer has extremely low heat generation and power consumption, eliminating the need for a cooling fan inside the computer housing. This makes it ideal for use in medical environments.

[0015] 2. The screw-type power supply mounting slot is used to install an anti-drop power supply; the I-shaped protrusion allows the edge computer to be tightly attached to the corresponding medical equipment; the UPS power supply fixing buckle allows the UPS power supply to be easily installed on the edge computer, thereby continuously powering the edge computer through the UPS power supply during the transfer of medical equipment.

[0016] 3. The low heat generated by the electronic components inside the computer case during operation can be quickly dissipated outward through the heat dissipation fins. At the same time, the external air can quickly enter and exit the computer case through the filter, preventing humid gas from staying inside the computer case. At the same time, the filter can effectively filter the dust in the inlet and outlet air. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
