[0003] Network switches are typically placed on a desktop, taking up considerable space. The casing of a network switch is usually assembled and fixed with at least four screws, making disassembly and assembly cumbersome and reducing the convenience of disassembly, assembly, and maintenance. The heat generated by a network switch during operation is generally dissipated only through its own casing or heat dissipation mesh, resulting in poor heat dissipation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a network switch with a suspended installation structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the network switch taking up a lot of space, low convenience of disassembly and maintenance, and poor heat dissipation.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a network switch with a suspended installation structure, comprising a switch body, a cover plate covering the surface of the switch body, an interface section installed at the bottom of the switch body, a suspended installation mechanism provided on the surface of the switch body, the suspended installation mechanism consisting of a mounting plate, fastening bolts, a slide bar, and a slide bracket, a heat dissipation mechanism provided on the surface of the switch body, the heat dissipation mechanism having a heat dissipation component and a cooling fan inside, the switch body and the cover plate being detachably connected via a maintenance mechanism, the maintenance mechanism including a screw cylinder, a slide groove, a positioning hole, and a fixing stud.

[0006] Preferably, a slide bar is fixed to the surface of the switch body, and a slide bracket is fitted onto the surface of the slide bar. The slide bracket and the slide bar slide against each other, and mounting holes for fixing are provided at the corner positions of the slide bracket surface.

[0007] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixed at the top of the slide bar, and a fastening bolt is threaded onto the surface of the mounting plate. One end of the fastening bolt passes through the mounting plate and is fastened to the surface thread of the slide.

[0008] Preferably, cooling fans are installed at both ends on one side of the switch body, the cooling fans are electrically connected to the power supply of the switch body, and a heat dissipation component is provided on one side of the switch body.

[0009] Preferably, the heat dissipation component includes an air inlet grille, a drying layer, and an air inlet. An air inlet grille is provided at one end of the switch body, and the air inlet grille is connected to the switch body by screws.

[0010] Preferably, a drying layer is placed inside the air inlet mesh cover, and the surfaces on both sides of the drying layer are tightly attached to the surfaces of the air inlet mesh cover and the switch body, respectively. An air inlet is provided at one end of the switch body, and the air inlet is located on one side of the drying layer.

[0011] Preferably, positioning holes are provided at both ends of one side of the cover plate, and a fixing stud is fixed at one end of the switch body. One end of the fixing stud passes through the positioning hole and is fitted with a screw cylinder. The screw cylinder and the fixing stud are threaded together, and the surface of the screw cylinder is tightly fitted to one end of the cover plate.

[0012] Preferably, the switch body has sliding grooves on both sides of its surface, and the sliding grooves slide in cooperation with the cover plate.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the network switch with the suspended installation structure not only saves the space occupied by the network switch during use and improves the convenience of disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the network switch, but also improves the heat dissipation effect of the network switch during use.

[0014] By setting up a hanging installation mechanism, the slide bracket is fixed to the wall to be installed with screws. Then, the switch body is placed on one side of the slide bracket, and the slide bar is inserted into the slide bracket.

Then, the fastening bolts are tightened to fix the slide bar, and the switch body is hung up and installed without placing it on a table, so as to realize the hanging installation function of the network switch and save the space occupied by the network switch during use.

[0015] With a maintenance mechanism in place, when the network switch needs maintenance, the screw can be loosened by the threaded engagement between the screw and the fixed stud, and the screw can be removed from the fixed stud. Then, one side of the cover plate can be pulled to move the positioning hole away from the fixed stud.

[0016] By incorporating a heat dissipation mechanism, and with the cooling fan electrically connected to the switch's power supply, the switch operates by activating the cooling fan. The cooling fan expels hot air from inside the switch, while external cool air enters the air intake grille and is dried by the drying layer. The dehumidified cool air then enters the switch through the air inlet, further cooling the switch. After a period of time, the air intake grille can be loosened, and the grille and drying layer removed. The drying layer can then be replaced, achieving efficient heat dissipation for the network switch and improving its cooling performance during operation. Attached Figure Description

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] The structure of the network switch with a suspended mounting structure provided by this utility model is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the switch includes a switch body 1, a cover plate 11 covering the surface of the switch body 1, an interface part 12 installed at the bottom of the switch body 1, and a hanging mounting mechanism 2 provided on the surface of the switch body 1. The hanging mounting mechanism 2 consists of a mounting plate 21, a fastening bolt 22, a slide bar 23, and a slide bracket 24. The slide bar 23 is fixed on the surface of the switch body 1, and the slide bracket 24 is fitted on the surface of the slide bar 23. The slide bracket 24 and the slide bar 23 slide against each other. Mounting holes for fixing are opened at the corner positions of the surface of the slide bracket 24. The mounting plate 21 is fixed at the top position of the slide bar 23. The fastening bolt 22 is threadedly connected to the surface of the mounting plate 21. One end of the fastening bolt 22 passes through the mounting plate 21 and is threadedly fastened to the surface of the slide bracket 24.

[0024] In use, the slide bracket 24 is fixed to the wall to be installed with screws. Then, the switch body 1 is placed on one side of the slide bracket 24, and the slide bar 23 is inserted into the slide bracket 24. With the sliding cooperation between the slide bar 23 and the slide bracket 24, the switch body 1 is fixed to the surface of the slide bracket 24, so that the mounting plate 21 contacts the surface of the slide bracket 24. Then, the fastening bolt 22 is tightened to fix the slide bar 23, and the switch body 1 is suspended and installed without placing it on a table, so as to realize the suspended installation function of the network switch.

[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, a heat dissipation mechanism 3 is provided on the surface of the switch body 1. The heat dissipation mechanism 3 is provided with a heat dissipation component 31 and a heat dissipation fan 32 inside. A heat dissipation fan 32 is installed at both ends on one side of the switch body 1. The heat dissipation fan 32 is electrically connected to the power supply of the switch body 1. A heat dissipation component 31 is provided on one side of the switch body 1. The heat dissipation component 31 includes an air inlet mesh cover 311, a drying layer 312 and an air inlet 313 inside. An air inlet mesh cover 311 is provided at one end of the switch body 1. The air inlet mesh cover 311 is connected to the switch body 1 by screws. A drying layer 312 is placed inside the air inlet mesh cover 311. The surfaces on both sides of the drying layer 312 are tightly attached to the surfaces of the air inlet mesh cover 311 and the switch body 1, respectively. An air inlet 313 is opened at one end of the switch body 1. The air inlet 313 is located on one side of the drying layer 312.

[0026] In use, since the cooling fan 32 is electrically connected to the power supply of the switch body 1, the switch body 1 drives the cooling fan 32 to turn on when it is working. Under the action of the cooling fan 32, the hot air inside the switch body 1 is exhausted. At this time, the external cold air enters the air inlet mesh cover 311 and is dried and dehumidified under the action of the drying layer 312. The dehumidified cold air enters the switch body 1 through the air inlet 313 to cool down the switch body 1. After a period of time, the air inlet mesh cover 311 can be loosened and the air inlet mesh cover 311 and the drying layer 312 can be removed. Then the drying layer 312 can be removed and replaced to achieve the efficient heat dissipation function of the network switch.

[0027] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the switch body 1 and the cover plate 11 are connected and disassembled through the maintenance mechanism 4. The maintenance mechanism 4 includes a screw cylinder 41, a sliding groove 42, a positioning hole 43, and a fixing stud 44. Positioning holes 43 are provided at both ends of one side of the cover plate 11. A fixing stud 44 is fixed at one end of the switch body 1. One end of the fixing stud 44 passes through the positioning hole 43 and is fitted with a screw cylinder 41. The screw cylinder 41 and the fixing stud 44 are threaded together. The surface of the screw cylinder 41 is tightly fitted to one end of the cover plate 11. Sliding grooves 42 are provided on both sides of the surface of the switch body 1. The sliding grooves 42 and the cover plate 11 slide together.

[0028] When using the network switch, if maintenance is required, the screw 41 can be loosened by loosening the screw 41 with the threaded engagement between the screw 41 and the fixing stud 44, and the screw 41 can be removed from the fixing stud 44. Then, pull one side of the cover plate 11 so that the positioning hole 43 is away from the fixing stud 44. At this time, the cover plate 11 slides along the slide groove 42 and is removed from the switch body 1. Then, the inside of the switch body 1 can be inspected to realize the function of easy disassembly and maintenance of the network switch.

[0029] Working principle: In use, first fix the slide bracket 24 to the wall to be installed with screws. Then place the switch body 1 on one side of the slide bracket 24 and insert the slide bar 23 into the slide bracket 24. With the sliding cooperation between the slide bar 23 and the slide bracket 24, the switch body 1 is fixed to the surface of the slide bracket 24, so that the mounting plate 21 contacts the surface of the slide bracket 24. Then tighten the fastening bolt 22 to fix the slide bar 23 and suspend the switch body 1. It does not need to be placed on a table, so as to realize the suspended installation function of the network switch, thereby saving the space occupied by the network switch during use.

[0030] Since the cooling fan 32 is electrically connected to the power supply of the switch body 1, the cooling fan 32 is turned on when the switch body 1 is working. Under the action of the cooling fan 32, the hot air inside the switch body 1 is exhausted. At this time, the external cold air enters the air inlet mesh cover 311 and is dried and dehumidified by the drying layer 312. The dehumidified cold air enters the switch body 1 through the air inlet 313 to cool down the switch body 1. After a period of time, the air inlet mesh cover 311 can be loosened and the air inlet mesh cover 311 and the drying layer 312 can be removed. Then the drying layer 312 can be removed and replaced to achieve the efficient heat dissipation function of the network switch, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the network switch during use.

[0031] When the network switch needs to be repaired, the screw 41 can be loosened by loosening the screw 41 with the threaded engagement of the screw 41 and the fixing stud 44, and the screw 41 can be removed from the fixing stud 44. Then, pull one side of the cover plate 11 so that the positioning hole 43 is away from the fixing stud 44. At this time, the cover plate 11 slides along the slide groove 42 and is removed from the switch body 1. Then, the inside of the switch body 1 can be repaired. This realizes the function of easy disassembly and repair of the network switch, thereby improving the convenience of disassembly and repair of the network switch, and finally completing the use of the network switch.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims, not the foregoing description, and all variations within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be encompassed within the present invention. Any reference sign in a claim should not be construed as limiting the claim to which it relates.
