Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a network communication switch. Background Technology

[0002] As an upgrade to hubs, switches completely overcome the shortcomings of hubs and have gained widespread recognition and application in a short period of time. Their basic working principle is based on data forwarding using MAC address tables, enabling efficient handling of communication within the same network segment. Furthermore, with continuous technological advancements, switches have undergone several evolutionary stages, gradually evolving from initial telephone line switches to LAN switches, and now to devices widely used in various network environments such as data center networks, campus networks, and the industrial internet.

[0003] A review of relevant patent document CN210075462U reveals several issues with existing network communication switches. Current market solutions primarily involve using a filter adhered to the mounting slot surface. This filter allows air entering the switch through the ventilation grille to pass through the filter, reducing contact between airborne dust and internal components. A fan facilitates the exhaust of air from the casing, improving heat dissipation. However, the filter in this type of switch is inconvenient to remove and clean, and relying solely on a fan results in limited cooling. To address these issues, a solution is implemented using a locking base, latches, thermally conductive copper pipes, heat sinks, and protective mechanisms. This allows for effective cooling of both the internal components and the outer casing, while also enabling easy removal and cleaning of the surface filter. Furthermore, it prevents damage to the corners of the switch during installation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a network communication switch.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a network communication switch, comprising a switch body, a network cable interface fixedly connected to the front of the switch body, a USB interface provided on the front, the USB interface being located to one side of the network cable interface, a filter screen fixedly connected to the upper surface of the switch body, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the top edge of the filter screen, a semi-circular connecting post fixedly connected to one side of the vertical plate, a stop block fixedly connected to the top of the semi-circular connecting post, a locking seat contacting the surface of the stop block, a locking buckle engaging inside the locking seat, a rubber pad fixedly connected to the bottom of the switch body, an exhaust fan rotatably connected to the back of the switch body, a connecting copper plate fixedly connected to the back of the switch body, a heat-conducting copper pipe fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting copper plate, a plurality of heat-dissipating aluminum fins fixedly connected to the surface of the heat-conducting copper pipe, and a protective mechanism provided at the corner of the back of the switch body.

[0006] As a further improvement to the above solution, the lock seat is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the switch body, the lock seat is connected to the interior of the switch body by fastening bolts, the rubber pads are symmetrically distributed with the switch body as the axis, the exhaust fan is symmetrically distributed with the switch body as the axis, and the heat dissipation aluminum fin is located in the central area of ​​the heat-conducting copper pipe.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above solution, the lock base includes a base, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body. The base has a latching groove inside, which is symmetrically distributed about the base as an axis.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above solution, the latch includes a pressing plate, and a buckle is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate. The buckles are symmetrically distributed about the pressing plate as an axis, and a limit block is fixedly connected to one side of the buckle.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above solution, the limiting block is provided on both sides of the buckle, the size and shape of the buckle match the buckle groove, and the buckle is made of hard plastic.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above solution, the protection mechanism includes a first snap-fit ​​plate, an insert plate fixedly connected to one side of the first snap-fit ​​plate, a second snap-fit ​​plate slidably connected to the surface of the insert plate, an insertion groove being provided inside the second snap-fit ​​plate, a limit rod passing through the inside of the first snap-fit ​​plate, and a shock-absorbing spring being sleeved on the surface of the limit rod.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above solution, the plug slot and the plug plate are slidably connected, the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the switch body, one end of the shock-absorbing spring is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the switch body, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first snap-fit ​​plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. When this type of network communication switch is used for a long time, the surface of the filter screen will accumulate a lot of dust and debris. When it is necessary to remove the filter screen, first use your fingers to hold both sides of the pressing plate and then pull it upwards. At this time, the buckle will disengage from the buckle groove, allowing the semi-circular connecting post to engage and lock. Then, simply pull the semi-circular connecting post out of the base. The disassembly process is simple and convenient. At the same time, the protrusion on the buckle surface and the setting of the limiting block can effectively prevent the pressing plate from falling off the buckle groove, resulting in better locking and sealing. In addition, the stop block on the top of the semi-circular connecting post prevents the filter screen from wobbling from side to side inside the switch body, improving stability and reducing the noise of the switch body during operation.

[0014] 2. When this type of network communication switch is installed on a rack, if it is accidentally bumped against a corner, the first or second connector plate will slide inward along the limit rod, compressing the shock-absorbing spring on the surface of the limit rod. This effectively mitigates the impact force during the collision and reduces damage to the equipment. Simultaneously, the connector plate inserts into the connector slot, allowing for simultaneous impact mitigation when both horizontal and vertical impacts occur. The first and second connector plates are interlocked, avoiding the occupation of excessive workspace. Furthermore, the connecting copper plates, heat-conducting copper pipes, and protective mechanisms ensure that heat from the switch's outer casing is conducted to the surface of the heat sink aluminum fins. The exhaust fan then effectively dissipates this heat, further enhancing the heat dissipation effect. Attached Figure Description

A stop block 7 is fixedly connected to the top of the semi-circular connecting post 6. A locking seat 8 is contacted on the surface of the stop block 7. A locking buckle 9 is engaged inside the locking seat 8. A rubber pad 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the switch body 1. An exhaust fan 11 is rotatably connected to the back of the switch body 1. A connecting copper plate 12 is fixedly connected to the back of the switch body 1. A heat-conducting copper pipe 13 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting copper plate 12. Several heat-dissipating aluminum fins 14 are fixedly connected to the surface of the heat-conducting copper pipe 13. A protective mechanism 15 is provided at the corner of the back of the switch body 1.

[0025] The locking seat 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the switch body 1. The locking seat 8 is connected to the interior of the switch body 1 by fastening bolts. The rubber pads 10 are symmetrically distributed with the switch body 1 as the axis. The exhaust fan 11 is symmetrically distributed with the switch body 1 as the axis. The heat sink aluminum fin 14 is located in the central area of ​​the heat-conducting copper pipe 13.

[0026] The lock base 8 includes a base 801, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the switch body 1. The base 801 has a latching groove 802 inside, which is symmetrically distributed about the base 801.

[0027] The latch 9 includes a pressing plate 901, and a buckle 902 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressing plate 901. The buckles 902 are symmetrically distributed around the pressing plate 901 as the axis, and a limit block 903 is fixedly connected to one side of the buckle 902.

[0028] Limiting blocks 903 are provided on both sides of buckle 902. The size and shape of buckle 902 match buckle groove 802. Buckle 902 is made of hard plastic.

[0029] The protection mechanism 15 includes a first snap-fit ​​plate 151, a plug plate 152 is fixedly connected to one side of the first snap-fit ​​plate 151, a second snap-fit ​​plate 153 is slidably connected to the surface of the plug plate 152, a plug slot 154 is provided inside the second snap-fit ​​plate 153, a limit rod 155 passes through the inside of the first snap-fit ​​plate 151, and a shock-absorbing spring 156 is sleeved on the surface of the limit rod 155.

[0030] The plug slot 154 and the plug plate 152 are slidably connected. The limiting rod 155 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the switch body 1.

[0031] The working principle of a network communication switch in this embodiment is as follows: When the switch body 1 is used for a long time, a lot of dust and debris will stick to the surface of the filter screen 4.

At the same time, the protrusion on the surface of the buckle 902 and the setting of the limiting block 903 can effectively prevent the pressing plate 901 from falling off the buckle groove 802, and the locking and sealing performance is better. At the same time, the stop block 7 set on the top of the semi-circular connecting post 6 prevents the filter screen 4 from being stuck in the switch body. The internal left-right swaying mechanism of switch body 1 improves stability and reduces noise during operation. When switch body 1 is installed on the rack, if it is accidentally bumped against a corner, the first or second connector plate 151 will slide inward along the limit rod 155, compressing the shock-absorbing spring 156 on the surface of the limit rod 155, effectively mitigating the impact force and reducing damage to the equipment. Simultaneously, the insert plate 152 is inserted into the connector slot 154, allowing for simultaneous mitigation of impact force when both horizontal and vertical directions are affected. The first and second connector plates 151 and 153 are interlocked, avoiding excessive space occupation. The connecting copper plate 12, heat-conducting copper pipe 13, and protective mechanism 15 allow heat from the switch body 1's outer casing to be conducted to the surface of the heat sink 14. Under the action of the exhaust fan 11, the heat from the switch body 1's outer casing is effectively dissipated, further enhancing heat dissipation.
