DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0027] like Figures 1-9 As shown, a terminal server shell structure proposed in one embodiment of the present application includes a shell 1, four fixing plates 2 are provided on the shell 1, the fixing plates 2 are fixed to the side of the shell 1, a support rod 3 is hinged on the fixing plate 2, a torsion spring 4 is provided at the hinge of the support rod 3, and the two ends of the torsion spring 4 are respectively fixedly connected to the support rod 3 and the fixing plate 2, a fixing cylinder 5 is provided on the fixing plate 2, the fixing cylinder 5 is in a vertical direction and fixed on the fixing plate 2, a connecting plate 6 is provided on the support rod 3 and both are in contact with the fixing cylinder 5, the connecting plate 6 is fixed on the support rod 3, and the connecting plate 6 is fixed on the support rod 3. A through hole 7 is provided, which is provided along the length direction of the support rod 3. A locking member acting on the through hole 7 is provided on the fixing cylinder 5 and the fixing plate 2, which is used to lock or unlock the support rod 3. A heat conducting plate 8 is detachably provided at the bottom of the shell 1. The heat conducting plate 8 is horizontal and fits the bottom of the shell 1. A plurality of mounting holes 9 are provided on the heat conducting plate 8. A heat conducting column 10 with a hollow interior is provided in the mounting hole 9. The heat conducting column 10 is vertical and fixed in the mounting hole 9. In this embodiment, the heat conducting plate 8 and the heat conducting column 10 are both made of aluminum, which has the advantages of good thermal conductivity and light weight.

[0028] In the initial state, the support rod 3 is in a horizontal direction, the torsion spring 4 is in a natural state, and the heat conducting plate 8 is not installed, which is convenient for transporting the shell 1 and reducing the occupied space. When in use, the heat conducting plate 8 is installed to the bottom of the shell 1, and the heat conducting plate 8 fits with the bottom of the shell 1, and drives the four support rods 3 to rotate to the vertical direction in turn, driving the connecting plate 6 to move together. The support rod 3 and the connecting plate 6 are both in contact with the fixed tube 5, and the torsion spring 4 is squeezed and acts on the through hole 7 through the locking piece to lock the support rod 3. The support rod 3 cannot be rotated to the horizontal direction due to the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 4. Then the four The four support rods 3 are placed on the placement plane, and the shell 1 is supported together by the four support rods 3 and the bottom of the shell 1 is separated from the placement plane, forming a heat dissipation channel. The heat of the shell 1 is conducted out together by the heat conducting plate 8 and the multiple heat conducting columns 10, and the contact area between air and heat is increased, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect. Conversely, when not in use, the heat conducting plate 8 is removed from the bottom of the shell 1, and the locking member acts on the through hole 7 to unlock the support rod 3. The torsion spring 4 is reset to its natural state, driving the support rod 3 to rotate to a horizontal direction, so as to facilitate the transportation of the shell 1 and reduce the occupied space.

[0029] To sum up, when the present application is in use, the four support rods 3 are used to support the shell 1 and separate the bottom of the shell 1 from the placement plane, thereby increasing the distance between the bottom of the shell 1 and the placement plane, widening the heat dissipation channel, and through the cooperation of the heat conduction plate 8 and multiple heat conduction columns 10, the heat dissipation effect can be improved. When not in use, the support rods 3 can be folded and stored, and the heat conduction plate 8 can be disassembled for easy transportation and reduced space occupation, so it is more practical.

[0030] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a guiding inclined surface is constructed on the connecting plate 6, and the locking member includes a slider 11 slidably arranged in the fixed cylinder 5, and the slider 11 slides in the vertical direction. A return spring 12 is provided between the slider 11 and the fixed plate 2, and the return spring 12 is in a vertical direction and its two ends are fixedly connected to the slider 11 and the fixed plate 2 respectively. A protrusion 13 and a boss 14 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the slider 11, and the protrusion 13 and the boss 14 are both in a vertical direction and are fixedly arranged at the bottom and top of the slider 11 respectively. A recessed hole 15 is opened on the fixed plate 2, and the recessed hole 15 is opened in the vertical direction. The protrusion 13 contacts and overlaps the connecting plate 6 and is plugged into and matched with the through hole 7, and the boss 14 is plugged into and matched with the recessed hole 15.

[0031] With reference to the above, in the initial state, the slider 11 is in the initial position and away from the fixed plate 2, and the return spring 12 is in the natural state. When the support rod 3 rotates to the vertical direction, it drives the connecting plate 6 to move together, and the protrusion 13 contacts and overlaps the connecting plate 6. Through the transition effect of the guiding oblique line, the protrusion 13, the slider 11 and the boss 14 are forced to move upward to the limit position together. The boss 14 is inserted into the concave hole 15, and the return spring 12 is squeezed. Thereafter, the return spring 12 returns to the natural state, and the protrusion 13, the slider 11 and the boss 14 move downward to the initial position together. The protrusion 13 is inserted into the concave hole 15. When connected to the through hole 7, the support rod 3 cannot be rotated to the horizontal direction due to the elastic potential energy of the torsion spring 4, so as to lock the support rod 3. On the contrary, the slider 11 is driven to slide upward to the limit position, driving the protrusion 13 to move together to exit the through hole 7, and the boss 14 is inserted into the recessed hole 15. The return spring 12 is squeezed. At this time, the torsion spring 4 is reset to the natural state, driving the support rod 3 to rotate to the horizontal direction, so as to unlock the support rod 3. Then the slider 11 is released, the return spring 12 is reset to the natural state, and the protrusion 13, the slider 11 and the boss 14 move downward to the initial position together.

[0032] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, a notch is provided on the fixed cylinder 5, and an extension rod 16 is provided on the slider 11 to slide with the notch, and the extension rod 16 is fixed on the slider 11;

[0033] Referring to the above, when in use, the extension rod 16 is driven to slide upward in the notch, driving the slider 11 to slide upward to the extreme position. Conversely, the extension rod 16 is released, and the slider 11 and the extension rod 16 slide downward together to the initial position, so as to facilitate the operation of the slider 11 and make it more convenient to use.

[0034] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the free end of the support rod 3 is configured to be tapered outward;

[0035] With reference to the above, when the support rod 3 is placed on a placement plane, the outward-expanding conical setting can increase the contact area between the support rod 3 and the placement plane, thereby improving the support stability.

[0036] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the heat conducting plate 8 is detachably connected to the bottom of the housing 1 by a plurality of bolts. The heat conducting plate 8 is provided with a plurality of through-holes, and the housing 1 is provided with threaded holes having the same number as the through-holes and in one-to-one correspondence. The bolts and the through-holes are movably plugged in and fitted with the threaded holes. The bottom of the housing 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 17, which are provided in a vertical direction. The heat conducting plate 8 is provided with positioning blocks 18 having the same number as the positioning holes 17 and in one-to-one correspondence. The positioning blocks 18 are vertically oriented and fixed to the heat conducting plate 8.

[0037] Referring to the above, when in use, the heat conducting plate 8 is horizontally oriented and fits against the bottom of the shell 1, and the multiple positioning blocks 18 correspond to and are inserted into the multiple positioning holes 17 respectively to achieve the positioning of the heat conducting plate 8. Then, the bolts are passed through the through holes and tightened into the threaded holes to achieve the connection between the heat conducting plate 8 and the bottom of the shell 1. Conversely, the bolts are loosened until they exit the threaded holes, so that the heat conducting plate 8 is away from the bottom of the shell 1, and the multiple positioning blocks 18 exit the multiple positioning holes 17 respectively to achieve the disassembly of the heat conducting plate 8.

[0038] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom of the housing 1 is configured with a plurality of grooves 19, which are distributed in a horizontal direction. The heat conducting plate 8 is provided with ridges 20, which are the same number as the grooves 19 and are plug-fitted in a one-to-one correspondence. The ridges 20 are horizontally oriented and fixed to the heat conducting plate 8. In this embodiment, both the grooves 19 and the ridges 20 are trapezoidal in structure.

[0039] Referring to the above, when the heat conducting plate 8 is installed, the multiple protrusions 20 correspond to and are inserted into the multiple grooves 19 respectively. Through the cooperation of the grooves 19 and the protrusions 20, the contact area between the housing 1 and the heat conducting plate 8 can be increased, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0040] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, a receiving cavity is constructed in the heat conducting plate 8, and the receiving cavity is filled with thermal grease 21. The thermal grease 21 is a thermally conductive organic silicone grease-like composite made of organic silicone as the main raw material and added with heat-resistant and thermally conductive materials. It is a highly thermally conductive insulating organic silicone material with excellent thermal conductivity.

[0041] With reference to the above, during use, the cooperation between the accommodating cavity and the thermal grease 21 can improve the heat conduction efficiency, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0042] like Figure 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting hole 9 and the heat-conducting column 10 are both constructed in a honeycomb shape, and the heat-conducting column 10 includes a straight section and a tapered section, and the straight section is located in the mounting hole 9;

[0043] Referring to the above, when in use, the honeycomb setting can increase the contact area between the heat-conducting column 10 and the heat-conducting plate 8, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect. The setting of the conical section can increase the contact area between the air and the heat-conducting column 10, thereby further improving the heat dissipation effect.

[0044] The above description of the disclosed embodiments is intended to enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is intended to conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
