[0032] Example 1:

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a sliding installation mechanism for an air-cooled power supply radiator that is easy to maintain is provided, comprising: a power supply frame 1, an air-cooled radiator 5, two guide steel wires 4 with a diameter of 4 mm and two guide rails 2, wherein the air-cooled radiator 5 is composed of a mounting frame 51 and a plurality of fans 52, and the air-cooled radiator 5 slides in the power supply frame 1 in a horizontal pulling manner to facilitate the subsequent removal of the air-cooled radiator 5, wherein two parallel guide rails 2 are horizontally fixed on the opposite side walls of the power supply frame 1, and the guide steel wire 4 is provided with a C-shaped groove 3, and the opening gap of the C-shaped groove 3 is 4.2 mm. The C-shaped groove 3 can accommodate the guide steel wire 4, and the C-shaped groove 3 forms a clearance fit with the guide steel wire 4, and the C-shaped groove 3 provides a guide for the horizontal sliding body of the guide steel wire 4, and the two guide steel wires 4 are welded to both sides of the mounting frame 51, and a plurality of fans 52 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 51 at equal intervals, specifically, a plurality of fans 52 are distributed in a linear array along the length direction of the mounting frame 51, and a plurality of fans 52 will enhance air flow and improve the heat dissipation capacity inside the power supply.

[0034] In addition, in order to limit the displacement of the air-cooled radiator 5 after it is installed on the power frame 1, a limiting structure is designed on the side of the power frame 1. The limiting structure includes: a first through slot, a limiting baffle 7 and a shock-absorbing limiting foam glue 8. The first through slot is opened on the side of the power frame 1, and the first through slot is used for the air-cooled radiator 5 to be pulled in and out; the limiting baffle 7 is connected to the power frame 1 at the first through slot by a fastener, and can be removed after loosening the fastener. The air-cooled radiator 5 can move in and out of the first through slot, and the shock-absorbing limiting foam glue 8 covers the setting On the upper surface of the limit baffle 7 between the limit baffle 7 and the mounting frame 51, its position is at the edge where the foam contacts the component or the key stress point. When the subsequent fasteners fasten the limit baffle 7 to the power frame 1, the shock-absorbing limit foam glue 8 fills the gap here. The shock-absorbing limit foam glue 8 made of polyethylene material can further limit the relative displacement of mechanical components and absorb vibration and impact energy at the same time. In addition, the reaction force generated by the shock-absorbing limit foam glue 8 strengthens the cooperation between the fasteners and can reduce the possibility of self-rotation of the fasteners.

[0035] Example 2:

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a sliding installation mechanism for an air-cooled power radiator that is easy to maintain is provided, including a power frame 1, an air-cooled radiator 5, two guide steel wires 4 with a diameter of 4 mm and two guide rails 2, wherein the air-cooled radiator 5 is composed of a mounting frame 51 and a plurality of fans 52, and the air-cooled radiator 5 slides in the power frame 1 in a horizontal pulling manner to facilitate the subsequent removal of the air-cooled radiator 5, wherein the power frame 1 has two parallel guide rails 2 horizontally fixed on the opposite side walls, the guide steel wire 4 has a C-shaped groove 3, the opening gap of the C-shaped groove 3 is 4.6 mm, the C-shaped groove 3 can accommodate the guide steel wire 4, the C-shaped groove 3 and the guide steel wire 4 form a clearance fit, the C-shaped groove 3 provides guidance for the horizontal sliding body of the guide steel wire 4, and the two guide steel wires 4 are welded on both sides of the mounting frame 51, and a plurality of fans 52 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 51 at equal intervals, specifically, a plurality of fans 52 are distributed in a linear array along the length direction of the mounting frame 51.

[0037] In addition, in order to limit the displacement of the air-cooling radiator 5 after it is installed on the power frame 1, a limiting structure is designed on the side of the power frame 1, which includes: a first through-slot, a limiting baffle 7 made of stainless steel, screws 9 and a shock-absorbing limiting foam adhesive 8; wherein, the components are connected as follows: the first through-slot is opened on the side of the power frame 1, so that the air-cooling radiator 5 can be pulled in and out, the limiting baffle 7, one end of the limiting baffle 7 is connected to the power frame 1 through a hinge, and the other end of the limiting baffle 7 is provided with a through hole, and the power frame 1 is provided with a corresponding threaded hole; the screw 9 passes through the through hole and is screwed into the threaded hole for fixing, the shock-absorbing limiting foam adhesive 8 is located between the limiting baffle 7 and the mounting bracket 51, and the mounting bracket 51 is hinged with a handle 6, which is used to During the pulling and pulling operation, loosen the screw 9 to disengage it from the threaded hole, and the limit baffle 7 flips around the hinge to open the first through slot. At this time, the handle 6 drives the mounting bracket 51 to continuously pass through the first through slot to the outside. At this time, the handle 6 drives the mounting bracket 51 to slide in the corresponding C-shaped groove 3, and the air-cooled radiator 5 can be smoothly taken out. Then align the guide wires 4 on both sides of the new air-cooled radiator 5 with the C-shaped groove 3, and the air-cooled radiator 5 can be smoothly pushed into the power frame 1. Then the limit baffle 7 flips around the hinge in the opposite direction, and then tightens the screw 9 to connect it to the threaded hole. The shock-absorbing and limiting foam glue 8 abuts against the side of the air-cooled radiator 5, and the replacement of the air-cooled radiator 5 is completed. The replacement is efficient and convenient.

[0038] In summary, a pull-out structure is adopted, and the air-cooled radiator 5 is pulled out and pulled out smoothly horizontally through the gap between the guide wire 4 and the C-shaped groove 3. The fan 52 can be replaced or the radiator can be cleaned without disassembling other components. In addition, the hinge limit baffle 7 and the screw 9 further simplify the operation. The baffle can be flipped over by loosening the screw, which greatly improves the maintenance efficiency. A double limit mechanism is designed, and the limit baffle 7 is fixed by fasteners or hinges to physically block the displacement of the air-cooled radiator 5 and realize mechanical limit: the shock-absorbing limit foam glue 8 covers the contact surface between the baffle and the mounting bracket 51, which not only fills the gap to limit displacement, but also absorbs the high-frequency vibration during the operation of the fan 52, reduces noise, and realizes flexible limit. The reaction force of the foam glue strengthens the fastener fit, reduces the risk of bolt self-rotation, and completes the anti-loosening design. The two guide wires 4 are welded on both sides of the mounting bracket 51 to form a gap fit with the C-shaped groove 3 of the guide rail 2, which not only ensures smooth sliding but also avoids shaking, and the overall sliding operation is more stable.
