Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer network technology, specifically to a dustproof structure for a computer network switch. Background Technology

[0002] In today's era of rapid digital information development, computer network switches, as core hub devices for network connections, are widely used in various data centers, enterprise office networks, telecommunications equipment rooms, and smart homes, among many other fields. They bear the crucial responsibility of rapid data exchange and transmission, ensuring the efficient operation of the entire network system.

[0003] However, switches face numerous challenges in real-world usage environments, with dust contamination being a particularly prominent issue. On one hand, most switches are typically installed in open indoor environments, such as office corners or server racks. While these spaces are relatively enclosed, air circulation still brings in significant amounts of dust. This is especially true in server rooms near industrial sites or construction sites, where the concentration of dust particles in the air is even higher. On the other hand, as the equipment operates continuously for extended periods, the suction generated by its internal fans, while dissipating heat, also acts like a "vacuum cleaner," continuously drawing dust from the surrounding environment into the switch.

[0004] Dust poses multifaceted threats to computer switches. Once fine dust particles enter the switch, they first adhere to the surfaces of electronic components, such as circuit boards, chip pins, capacitors, and resistors. Over time, this dust hinders heat dissipation, causing components to overheat. High temperatures can easily lead to performance degradation, shortened lifespan, and even permanent damage to electronic components, resulting in frequent switch crashes, freezes, and signal transmission errors, severely impacting network stability and reliability. Furthermore, if the dust contains conductive substances, it can cause short circuits, directly threatening the safe operation of the switch and the entire network system, leading to significant economic losses for businesses and users, including data loss, repair costs after service interruptions, and equipment replacement costs.

[0005] Although some switches on the market are equipped with simple dustproof measures, such as adding ordinary dust filters to the vents, these dust filters often have many limitations. They are difficult to effectively block fine dust, and after prolonged use, dust easily clogs the mesh, reducing ventilation efficiency and affecting the switch's heat dissipation. Furthermore, the installation structure of ordinary dust filters is usually rudimentary, and disassembly is inconvenient, making cleaning and maintenance time-consuming and laborious, failing to meet current demands for efficient switch operation and convenient maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to embodiments:

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this utility model provides a dustproof structure for a computer network switch, including a switch body 1. An indicator light 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the switch body 1. A power interface 3 is fixedly installed on the side of the switch body 1 away from the indicator light 2. A network cable interface 4 is provided on the side of the switch body 1 near the power interface 3. A switch 5 is fixedly installed on the side of the switch body 1 near the network cable interface 4. An air inlet is provided at the bottom of the switch body 1. A support component 6 is provided at the bottom of the switch body 1, providing support and quick-release functionality. A dustproof component 7 is provided at the bottom of the switch body 1, filtering the air entering the switch body 1. A reset component 8 is provided at the bottom of the switch body 1, enabling reset. A sliding mechanism 9 is provided at the bottom of the switch body 1, allowing sliding based on external force fluctuations. A damping mechanism is also provided at the bottom of the switch body 1. The damage reduction mechanism 10 can reduce the friction between the sliding mechanism 9 and the support component 6. The bottom of the switch body 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 11, which can clean the dustproof component 7 so that it can be reused. The support component 6 includes an L-shaped support frame 61 and a baffle 62. The L-shaped support frame 61 is fixedly installed on both sides of the air inlet at the bottom of the switch body 1. The baffle 62 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the switch body 1 and is located inside the L-shaped support frame 61. The dustproof component 7 includes a soft dust filter 71 and a handle 72. The soft dust filter 71 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the L-shaped support frame 61. The side of the soft dust filter 71 away from the baffle 62 is fixedly installed with the handle 72. The reset component 8 includes a fixing rod 81 and a spring 82. The fixing rod 81 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the L-shaped support frame 61. One end of the spring 82 is fixedly installed with the L-shaped support frame 61 and is located on the surface of the fixing rod 81.

[0035] In this embodiment, the arrangement of the support component 6, dustproof component 7, reset component 8, sliding mechanism 9, wear reduction mechanism 10, and cleaning mechanism 11 enables the support component 6 and dustproof component 7 to work together to filter air and ensure the safety of the internal components of the switch body 1. The reset component 8 and sliding mechanism 9 work together to quickly reset the sliding mechanism 9 when external force disturbs it. The wear reduction mechanism 10 reduces friction and wear between the sliding mechanism 9 and the support component 6.

The fixing rod 81 makes the fixing slider 91 more stable during sliding, preventing it from wobbling. The spring 82 uses its elasticity to reset the fixing slider 91, keeping it in the set position.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] like Figure 1-6 As shown, based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the sliding mechanism 9 includes a fixed slider 91, a fixed block 92, and a support shaft 93. The fixed slider 91 is slidably mounted on the surface of the fixed rod 81. The end of the spring 82 away from the L-shaped support frame 61 is fixedly mounted to the fixed slider 91. The bottom of the fixed slider 91 is fixedly mounted to the fixed block 92. The inner side of the fixed block 92 is fixedly mounted to the support shaft 93. A cross hole is opened on the side of the support shaft 93 away from the fixed block 92. The loss reduction mechanism 10 includes a ring 101, a roller 102, and a limiting ring 103. Several sets of rollers 102 are provided, and the several sets of rollers 102 are rotatably mounted on the surface of the support shaft 93 in a ring. The ring 101 is rotatably mounted on the outside of the roller 102, and the limiting ring 103 is fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the ring 101. The limiting ring 103 is movably mounted on the roller 102 and the support shaft 93. The cleaning mechanism 11 includes a cross rod 111, an insert rod 112, a return spring 113, and a cleaning roller 114. The cross rod 111 is movably inserted into one side of the support shaft 93. The end of the cross rod 111 away from the support shaft 93 is fixedly mounted to the insert rod 112. The surface of the insert rod 112 is movably inserted into the cleaning roller 114. Both ends of the cleaning roller 114 are fixedly mounted to the return spring 113. The end of the return spring 113 away from the cleaning roller 114 is fixedly mounted to the cross rod 111.

[0038] In this embodiment, the cooperation of the fixed slider 91, the fixed block 92, and the support shaft 93 enables the cleaning mechanism 11 to be quickly plugged in and installed. At the same time, the support shaft 93 also enables the cleaning roller 114 to have a quick disassembly function. The cooperation of the ring 101 and the roller shaft 102 can reduce the friction between the support shaft 93 and the L-shaped support frame 61 when the support shaft 93 moves, improve the service life of the support shaft 93, and ensure the quiet effect during sliding. The limiting ring 103 can prevent the roller shaft 102 from being misaligned. The cooperation of the cross rod 111 and the insertion rod 112 enables the cleaning roller 114 to have a quick disassembly and installation function. The return spring 113 can reset the cross rod 111 and the insertion rod 112. The cleaning roller 114 can remove dust from the surface of the soft dust filter 71 and improve the cleanliness of the soft dust filter 71.

[0039] The working principle of the dustproof structure used in this computer network switch will be explained in detail below.

[0040] like Figure 1-6As shown, when using this utility model, first align one side of the soft dust filter 71 with the inside of the L-shaped support frame 61 and slide it inward until the soft dust filter 71 is flush with the baffle 62. After the soft dust filter 71 is installed, it will filter the air entering the switch body 1. When it is necessary to clean the soft dust filter 71, the user can choose to remove the soft dust filter 71 or clean it with the cleaning roller 114. When it needs to be removed, the user only needs to pull the handle 72 to pull the soft dust filter 71 outward. When the soft dust filter 71 is pulled outward, the cleaning roller 114 scrapes away the dust on its surface. The user can then perform a deep cleaning and reinstall the soft dust filter 71. If another method of cleaning the soft dust filter 71 is needed, the user simply manually moves the cleaning roller 114 towards the baffle 62. As the cleaning roller 114 slides, it scrapes away the dust on the surface of the soft dust filter 71 and causes the fixing block 92 to slide against the fixing slider 91. When the fixing slider 91 slides, it compresses the spring 82. When the cleaning roller... When the cleaning roller 114 slides to its end, the user releases it. The spring 82 then releases its elasticity, quickly pushing the fixed slider 91 and the fixed block 92 to one side. As the fixed slider 91 and the fixed block 92 slide rapidly, the cleaning roller 114 cleans the surface of the soft dust filter 71 again at a high efficiency. As the fixed block 92 moves, the ring 101 rotates due to its contact with the L-shaped support frame 61, and the roller shaft 102 also rotates with the ring 101. When the cleaning roller 114 needs to be disassembled, the user must first hold the cleaning roller... The cleaning roller 114 can be pressed at any end. When the cleaning roller 114 is pressed, the insert rod 112 at the pressed end will slide into the cleaning roller 114, and the return spring 113 will be squeezed until the cross rod 111 at the other end is disengaged from the support shaft 93 and is no longer locked. Then the user can directly pull out the cleaning roller 114. At the same time, when cleaning the soft dust filter 71, the user can first remove the cleaning roller 114, wet it, and then install it and move the cleaning roller 114 towards the baffle 62 for cleaning, so as to achieve a more efficient cleaning effect.

[0041] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
