[0028] The switch body 100 includes a housing 110.

[0029] An external heat dissipation mechanism 200 includes a heat dissipation mounting component 210 and an auxiliary heat dissipation component 220. The heat dissipation mounting component 210 includes a heat dissipation plate 213, the upper part of which penetrates the bottom of the housing 110. The outer wall of the heat dissipation plate 213 is fixedly and sealed to the housing 110. The heating element inside the housing 110 is mounted above the heat dissipation plate 213. A sealing frame 211 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer ring of the housing 110, and a sealing cover plate 2 is fixedly connected to the inside of the sealing frame 211. 15. The sealing cover 215, together with the sealing frame 211 and the bottom of the housing 110, forms a sealed cavity. The bottom of the heat sink 213 is located inside the cavity, which is filled with coolant. The auxiliary heat dissipation component 220 cools the coolant inside the cavity. The power cord 300 is electrically connected to the switch body 100. The power cord 300 cools the components inside the housing 110 from the outside of the housing 110, effectively preventing the entry of external dust and moisture, and increasing the service life of the switch body 100.

[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The top of the heat sink 213 is located at the inner bottom of the housing 110, and the bottom of the heat sink 213 is located at the outer bottom of the housing 110. Fins 214 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the heat sink 213, and the fins 214 are in contact with the coolant. Multiple sets of fins 214 are evenly connected to the bottom of the heat sink 213. The fins 214 are S-shaped to increase the contact area between the fins 214 and the coolant, improving heat transfer and facilitating the rapid dissipation of heat from the switch body 100.

[0031] The heat sink 213 and fins 214 are covered by an inner sealing frame 212. The inner sealing frame 212 is sealed to the bottom of the housing 110. One side of the inner sealing frame 212 is sealed to the outer sealing frame 211. The top of the inner sealing frame 212 and the outer sealing frame 211 are sealed to the sealing cover plate 215, forming a sealed space to prevent coolant from flowing out.

[0032] Please see Figures 3 to 5 The auxiliary heat dissipation component 220 includes a connecting pipe 221. One end of the connecting pipe 221 is connected to the end of the inner sealing frame 212, and the other end of the connecting pipe 221 is connected to one side of the inner sealing frame 212. The connecting pipe 221 and the inner sealing frame 212 are connected by a pump. A first heat sink 222 and a second heat sink 223 are respectively connected to both sides of the connecting pipe 221. The first heat sink 222 and the second heat sink 223 are respectively fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 221. The pump is used to transfer coolant, making the coolant flow and increasing the heat dissipation efficiency. The first heat sink 222 and the second heat sink 223 facilitate the dissipation of heat from the connecting pipe 221. The first heat sink 222 and the second heat sink 223 are located below the ventilated mesh plate 216, which facilitates contact with the outside air and facilitates the dissipation of heat into the air.

[0033] Multiple sets of first heat sinks 222 and second heat sinks 223 are provided, and these sets are evenly and equidistantly installed on both sides of the sealing outer frame 211. An mounting plate 224 is connected to the outer side of the inner sealing frame 212. A fan blade 226 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of the mounting plate 224, and a motor 225 is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the mounting plate 224. The output end of the motor 225 is connected to the fan blade 226. Multiple sets of motors 225 and fan blades 226 are provided. A temperature sensor is installed inside the housing 110. When the temperature is too high, the motor 225 is activated, driving the fan blades 226 to dissipate heat from the connecting pipe 221 and accelerate airflow. The air exchanges heat through the breathable mesh plate 216, quickly carrying away the heat from the connecting pipe 221.

[0034] The fan blade 226 faces the connecting pipe 221. A breathable mesh plate 216 is installed above the connecting pipe 221. The two sides of the breathable mesh plate 216 are fixedly connected to the sealing outer frame 211 and the inner sealing frame 212, respectively. The breathable mesh plate 216 is located above the fan blade 226 and the connecting pipe 221. The four corners of the sealing outer frame 211 are provided with raising protrusions to prevent the breathable mesh plate 216 from being blocked.

[0035] Working Principle: The heat generated by the heating elements inside the switch body 100 is transferred to the fins 214 through the heat sink 213 at the bottom of the housing 110. The bottom of the heat sink 213 is located in a sealed cavity outside the housing 110, in direct contact with the coolant, transferring heat to the coolant. The fins 214 are in full contact with the coolant, further increasing the heat dissipation area and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The coolant circulates between the sealed cavity and the connecting pipe 221 under the action of the pump. The first heat sink 222 and the second heat sink 223 are fixedly installed on both sides of the connecting pipe 221, dissipating the heat in the coolant into the air through natural heat dissipation or air convection. At the same time, the motor 225 drives the fan blades 226 to rotate, accelerating airflow and further improving heat dissipation efficiency. A ventilated mesh plate 216 is installed above the connecting pipe 221 to increase the heat dissipation effect and prevent foreign objects from entering.

[0036] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
