Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and more specifically, to a storage switch that facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] Storage switches are network devices specifically designed for storage networks. They are key components for building efficient, reliable, and scalable storage networks and are widely used in data centers, cloud computing, and big data environments. By using storage switches, enterprises can improve data access speeds, optimize storage resource utilization, and ensure data security and reliability. Storage switches play a vital role in storage area networks.

[0003] Chinese Patent Publication No. CN216146394U discloses a data storage switch with convenient heat dissipation. The solution includes a heat sink, a blower box, a fan, and the switch body. The heat sink has an internal chamber, and its front end has an opening penetrating the chamber. Several sets of support pillars are provided at the top and bottom of the chamber. The blower box is fixedly installed on the left side of the heat sink and has a trapezoidal structure. The blower box also has an internal chamber, and its right end has a connecting port connecting the blower box to the chamber of the heat sink. The left end of the blower box has an air inlet that runs through the blower box chamber. The fan is fixedly installed on the left end of the blower box, and the output end of the fan is connected to the blower box chamber through the air inlet. The fan is connected to the external mains power. The right end of the heat sink has several sets of heat dissipation holes for connecting to the outside and discharging hot air. However, the above device only allows air exchange through a fan on one side, and the heat dissipation effect is not obvious enough to meet the heat dissipation requirements under different conditions. At the same time, because there are multiple heat dissipation holes, dust from the external environment will enter the machine body, affecting the use of the switch.

[0004] Therefore, a storage switch that facilitates heat dissipation is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content

Combined with heat dissipation fins, the heat dissipation area can be increased, further improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0007] 2. Technical Solution

[0008] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] A storage switch with easy heat dissipation includes a switch body, a plurality of ports and a plurality of first heat dissipation holes on the front end of the outer wall of the switch body, a heat dissipation component for dissipating heat from the switch body installed on the outer wall of the switch body, and a dustproof component for isolating dust from the external environment installed on the bottom of the switch body.

[0014] Furthermore, the installation angle of the heat dissipation fins is three degrees, and the installation interval between two adjacent heat dissipation fins must be more than four millimeters.

[0015] 3. Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0017] (1) This solution achieves convection cooling of the device by installing fans on both sides of the switch body. At the same time, multiple heat dissipation holes increase the airflow between the inside and outside of the machine when the fans are working, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] Example:

[0028] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3A storage switch with easy heat dissipation includes a switch body 1, multiple ports 2 are opened on the front end of the outer wall of the switch body 1, multiple first heat dissipation holes 3 are opened on the front end of the outer wall of the switch body 1, a heat dissipation component for heat dissipation of the switch body 1 is installed on the outer wall of the switch body 1, and a dustproof component for isolating dust from the external environment is installed on the bottom of the switch body 1. The dustproof component includes a plug plate 5, and a dustproof plate 51 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the plug plate 5. The heat dissipation component includes two fans 4, which are respectively installed on the left and right ends of the outer wall of the switch body 1. Second heat dissipation holes 41 are opened on both the left and right ends of the outer wall of the switch body 1.

[0029] This solution activates fan 4, which allows for the exchange of airflow between the outside environment and the inside of the device during operation. The heat exchange efficiency is improved through the first heat dissipation hole 3 and the second heat dissipation hole 41, and the heat exchange within the device is achieved through convection cooling, thus meeting the device's heat dissipation requirements.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The dustproof assembly also includes multiple mounting bolts 53, which are respectively installed on the left and right ends of the outer wall of the dustproof plate 51 and the switch body 1. Multiple filter holes 52 are equally spaced on the outer wall of the plug plate 5 and the dustproof plate 51. Fixing blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the middle part of the bottom wall of the dustproof plate 51.

[0031] This solution can achieve dust protection for the device through the plug plate 5 and the dustproof plate 51. While adsorbing the dust inside the chassis, it can also prevent dust from the outside environment from entering the switch body 1 from the bottom. At the same time, it ensures that the device has high heat dissipation efficiency while avoiding the impact of dust on the device. The dustproof plate 51 can provide a certain support through the fixing block 6, which makes it easy for operators to install and remove it.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 Multiple heat dissipation fins 7 are installed at equal intervals on the outer rear end of the switch body 1; the installation angle of the heat dissipation fins 7 is three degrees, and the installation interval between two adjacent heat dissipation fins 7 must be more than four millimeters.

[0033] This solution uses heat dissipation fins 7 installed at an angle of three degrees to the vertical to improve airflow. Additionally, the distance between two adjacent heat dissipation fins 7 must be at least 4mm to ensure smooth natural convection. The heat dissipation fins 7 are in close contact with the heat source components, thus further cooling the device. Adjusting the installation angle and spacing ensures smooth natural convection.

[0034] Working principle: When the device is in use, fans 4 and second heat dissipation holes 41 are installed on both the left and right ends of the outer wall of the switch body 1, thereby realizing the convection heat dissipation of the device. At the same time, during the blowing of the fan 4, the airflow from the outside and the airflow inside the machine are exchanged. The heat exchange efficiency is improved through the first heat dissipation hole 3 and the second heat dissipation hole 41. At the same time, multiple heat dissipation fins 7 are installed at the rear end of the outer wall of the switch body 1. The design of the fins further ensures that the heat dissipation area is increased and the heat transfer efficiency is enhanced. Meanwhile, a plug plate 5 and a dustproof plate 51 are inserted into the bottom of the switch body 1. The dustproof plate 51 is installed at the bottom of the switch body 1 by mounting bolts 53, which can be quickly installed and removed. The dustproof plate 51 is made of activated carbon. Through the size and material of its mesh, it blocks and captures dust particles or other suspended matter in the air. Thus, the design of the dustproof plate 51 can adsorb the dust inside the machine and prevent dust from the outside environment from entering the chassis from the bottom, thus ensuring the service life of the device.

[0035] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
