Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of communication devices, and in particular relates to a communication device with a heat dissipation function. Background Art

[0002] Communication devices refer to equipment used to transmit, exchange and process information in communication systems, and are used to achieve communication between people, people and things, and things and things. They include common types such as transmission equipment, access equipment, and terminal equipment.

[0003] Communication devices contain various electronic components, which generate heat over time, affecting their performance. Existing communication devices typically require a cooling fan to dissipate this heat. However, prolonged use can damage the cooling fan, which is typically installed inside the device. Consequently, subsequent repairs require first removing the device housing and then the cooling fan. This increases the number of steps and is inefficient, making subsequent repairs difficult. Furthermore, internally located cooling fans provide poor heat dissipation and are difficult to clean after dust accumulates on the fan. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a communication device, which makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the fan by setting a movable mounting plate and installing a cooling fan on the mounting plate, thereby solving the problem that the existing cooling fan is usually installed inside the device, resulting in the need to disassemble the shell first and then the cooling fan during subsequent maintenance, which is inefficient and difficult for staff to perform subsequent maintenance.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A communication device includes a housing, a mounting plate movably mounted on one side of the housing, and a cooling fan fixed on the mounting plate;

[0007] A portion of the mounting plate extends into the inner side of the housing and is engaged with the housing at the extending portion; a portion of the mounting plate is exposed outside the housing and is connected to the housing via a mounting assembly at the exposed portion;

[0008] The mounting assembly includes a clamping block, a baffle, a fixing seat, a fixing rod, a locking hook, and a locking shaft; the clamping block is fixedly connected to the baffle, and the clamping block is elastically connected to the fixing seat; the clamping block is provided with a groove on a side close to the mounting plate, and the groove cooperates with the edge of the mounting plate to envelop;

[0009] The baffle is provided with a locking hook at one end away from the card block; the fixing seat is fixed to the outer surface of the shell, the fixing seat is fixedly connected to the fixing rod, and a locking shaft is fixed to the other end of the fixing rod; the locking hook cooperates with the locking shaft, and when the two are engaged, the card block is separated from the mounting plate.

[0010] Furthermore, a push plate is fixedly connected to the front of the clamping block; a limiting rod is fixedly connected to the back of the clamping block, a spring is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod, the limiting rod slides through the fixed seat and extends to the outside, the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the limiting block at the extended end, and the spring is pressed between the clamping block and the fixed seat.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with mounting components on two symmetrical sides.

[0012] Furthermore, an insert block is fixedly connected to the portion of the mounting plate extending into the shell, a groove is provided on one side of the insert block, an elastic card block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell, a protrusion is provided on the side of the elastic card block close to the insert block, and the groove and the protrusion are engaged with each other.

[0013] Furthermore, the mounting plate is provided with inserting blocks on two symmetrical sides, and the shell is provided with elastic clamping blocks on the inner wall corresponding to the inserting blocks.

[0014] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention provides a movable mounting plate, specifically, a mounting assembly that is movably connected to the housing on the outside and a snap-fit connection on the inside. This allows for both internal and external connections, and both are movably connected, making the installation both stable and easy to disassemble. Mounting a cooling fan on the mounting plate facilitates removal, cleaning, and replacement of the fan. Furthermore, the cooling fan is mounted on the housing wall via the mounting plate, directly facing the outside world, resulting in a good heat dissipation effect.

[0016] 2. In terms of specific design, the installation assembly provided in the present invention is of an elastic push-pull type. The card block is pulled by the push plate, and then the lock hook is buckled on the lock shaft to fix the card block, thereby releasing the restriction of the card block on the mounting plate. Subsequently, the mounting plate is pulled hard to separate the plug-in block inside the mounting plate from the elastic card block on the shell, and the disassembly is completed. During the process, there is no need to disassemble the shell, which reduces the operation steps, makes disassembly more convenient, and facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement.

[0017] 3. In terms of specific design, the utility model provides an elastic card block on the inner wall of the shell and an insert block on the installation. When the insert block contacts the protrusion on the elastic card block, the elastic card block will be pushed. When the mounting plate is tightly attached to the wall of the shell, the elastic card block will reset and the protrusion will enter the groove of the card block to complete the engagement, which will easily fix the mounting plate, facilitate the subsequent operation of the staff, and save installation time.

[0018] Of course, any product implementing the present invention does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. The present invention is not only applicable to communication devices, but can also be applied to devices in other fields that require installation of small fans for heat dissipation.

[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] See also Figure 1-6 As shown, the present invention is a communication device comprising a housing 1, with a mounting plate 11 snapped onto one side of the housing 1. One or two cooling fans 111 are mounted on the mounting plate 11. Since the mounting plate 11 is movably mounted on the housing 1 and the cooling fans 111 are mounted on the mounting plate 11, the cooling fans can be removed by simply removing the mounting plate 11, making disassembly and cleaning easy. Furthermore, the cooling fans face directly outward, resulting in excellent heat dissipation.

[0030] Specifically, a portion of the mounting plate 11 extends into the inner side of the shell 1, and the mounting plate 11 is clamped on the shell wall on the inner side of the shell 1. The clamping method is: two plug-in blocks 112 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 11 on both sides symmetrically of the extended portion, and grooves 113 are provided on the sides of the two plug-in blocks 112 facing away from each other; two elastic clamping blocks 114 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the shell 1, and a protrusion 115 is provided on the side of the elastic clamping block 114 close to the plug-in block 112. The groove 113 on the plug-in block 112 is adapted to the protrusion 115 on the elastic clamping block 114. When the side of the plug-in block 112 close to the elastic clamping block 114 contacts the surface of the elastic clamping block 114, the protrusion 115 can be clamped into the groove 113.

[0031] By providing the elastic block 114, the mounting plate 11 and the insert block 112 can be inserted into the elastic block 114. When installing, first, the insert block 112 on one side contacts the protrusion 115 on the elastic block 114, and then the elastic block 114 is pressed inward. The elastic block 114 is elastic (optionally made of rubber). The inward pressing of the insert block 112 on the elastic block 114 pushes the elastic block 114, thereby making room for the installation of the insert block 112 and the elastic block 114 on the other side, so that the protrusion 115 on the other side enters the groove 113. When the insert block 112 on the other side is engaged with the elastic block 114, the elastic block 114 on the side that was originally squeezed is reset, so that the protrusion 115 enters the groove 113. The cooperation between the insert block 112 and the elastic block 114 can easily fix the mounting plate 11, facilitate disassembly and assembly by the staff, and save installation time.

[0032] Specifically, a portion of the mounting plate 11 is exposed outside the housing 1, and the mounting plate 11 is secured outside the housing 1 by a mounting assembly 12. Mounting assemblies 12 are provided symmetrically on both sides of the exposed portion of the mounting plate 11. The mounting assembly 12 includes a clamping block 121, a baffle 122, a fixing seat 123, a fixing rod 124, a push plate 125, a locking hook 126, a locking shaft 127, a limiting rod 128, a spring 129, and a limiting block 130.

[0033] A baffle 122 is fixedly connected to the front of the card block 121. Generally, the card block 121 and the baffle 122 are made as one piece. A groove is set on the side of the card block 121 close to the mounting plate 11. The inner wall of the groove on the card block 121 can contact the edge of the mounting plate 11, thereby enveloping the edge of the mounting plate 11.

[0034] A push plate 125 is fixed to the front of the clamping block 121 and / or the baffle 122, which can pull the clamping block 121 and the baffle 122. A locking hook 126 is provided at the end of the baffle 122 away from the clamping block 121. The locking hook 126 is rotatably connected to the baffle 122 via a fixed shaft. The fixing seat 123 is fixed to the outer surface of the housing 1. The front of the fixing seat 123 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 124. The end of the fixing rod 124 away from the fixing seat 123 is fixedly connected to a locking shaft 127. By providing the locking hook 126 and the locking shaft 127, the clamping block 121 and the baffle 122 can be pulled away from the mounting plate 11 to lock them, thereby releasing the mounting plate 11. Specifically, the clamping block 121 is pulled by the push plate 125, and then the locking hook 126 is snapped onto the locking shaft 127 to fix the clamping block 121, thereby releasing the fixing of the mounting plate 11. After the front fixation of the mounting plate 11 is released, the mounting plate 11 is then pulled hard to disengage the insert block 112 from the elastic block 114, and the disassembly is completed without the need to disassemble the shell 1, which reduces the operation steps, makes disassembly more convenient, and facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement.

[0035] A limiting rod 128 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping block 121 facing away from the groove. A spring 129 is sleeved on the outside of the limiting rod 128 and is pressed between the clamping block 121 and the fixing seat 123. The limiting rod 128 passes through the fixing seat 123 and extends to the outside. The limiting rod 128 is slidably connected to the fixing seat 123, and a limiting block 130 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the limiting rod. The limiting assembly composed of the limiting rod 128, spring 129, and limiting block 130 is used to limit the clamping block 121, making the clamping block 121 more stable during movement. The spring 129 is used to assist the clamping block 121 in resetting, so that the clamping block 121 can be smoothly reset.

[0036] Therefore, by the above-mentioned internal and external fixing method of the mounting plate 11, the mounting plate 11 can be made stable, which is beneficial to the operation of the cooling fan 111. The above-mentioned internal and external fixing method also makes the mounting plate 11 easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0037] A specific application of this embodiment is:

[0038] This device is used for vehicle-mounted wireless communication equipment. It is equipped with a wireless access point, a wireless network card and a network management system. When a vehicle needs to send information to other vehicles or infrastructure, the wireless network card will convert the data into a Wi-Fi signal and send it out through the wireless access point. When a vehicle receives a Wi-Fi signal sent by other vehicles or infrastructure, it will receive it through the wireless access point. The wireless network card will convert the received signal into data and pass it to the system inside the vehicle for processing. Since the presence of these electronic components generates heat when working, a movable mounting plate 11 is provided, and a cooling fan 111 is installed on the mounting plate. When the mounting plate 11 needs to be installed, the card block 121 is first pulled by the push plate 125 to make the card block 121 close to the fixing seat 123, then the limit rod 128 slides on the fixing seat 123 and squeezes the spring 129. When the baffle 122 moves to a position close to the lock shaft 127, the lock hook 126 is rotated, and the lock hook 126 is engaged with the lock shaft 127, thereby limiting and fixing the card block 121 to prevent the card block 121 from rebounding; then the mounting plate 11 is inserted into the inner side of the housing 1, and the plug block 112 is also inserted into the interior of the housing 1. When the plug block 112 contacts the protrusion on the elastic card block 114, the elastic card block 1 14 pushes, and since the elastic card block 114 is elastic, it can smoothly push the elastic card block 114. When the mounting plate 11 is in close contact with the surface of the shell 1, the elastic card block 114 is reset under the action of elasticity, so that the protrusion on the elastic card block 114 enters the groove 113, and the mounting plate 11 is simply fixed; then the lock hook 126 is rotated to make it leave the lock shaft 127, and the fixation of the card block 121 can be released. The card block 121 is reset under the elastic action of the spring 129, and the staff supports the push plate 125 to slowly reset the card block 121. When the card block 121 contacts the mounting plate 11, the mounting plate 11 is pushed and squeezed so that the mounting plate 11 is in close contact with the surface of the shell 1, and the installation is completed. The cooling fan 111 then dissipates heat for the device. When the cooling fan 111 is damaged, the block 121 is pulled by the push plate 125, and the lock hook 126 is buckled on the lock shaft 127 to fix the block 121, so that the fixation of the mounting plate 11 can be released. Then, the mounting plate 11 is pulled hard to make the insert block 112 disengage from the elastic block 114, and the disassembly is completed. There is no need to disassemble the shell 1, which reduces the operation steps, makes disassembly more convenient, and facilitates subsequent maintenance or replacement.
