[0009] This application provides a router. The router includes a router module and a fan module. The router module has a recessed portion forming a receiving space, within which the fan module is movably disposed. The fan module and the router module are detachably connected. When the fan module is located within the receiving space, the fan module and the router module are assembled as one unit and electrically connected. The fan module can be disposed within the receiving space, in which case it can be fixed and electrically connected to the router module, providing power and enabling communication. The fan module can also be detached from the router module. This design facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the fan module, extending the router's lifespan. When the fan module malfunctions, it needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement. The detachable connection between the fan module and the router module avoids the need to remove other parts before disassembling the fan module, making disassembly easier, improving efficiency, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and reducing repair difficulty.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, a connection structure is included, which is used to connect the router module and the fan module;

[0020] This ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the fan module and the router module.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, when the fan module is located outside the containment space, the fan module and the router module can operate independently.

[0022] With this configuration, the fan module can be used to adapt to other devices or router modules of the same model, thus improving the compatibility of the fan module.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the fan module includes a first airflow surface and a second airflow surface facing away from the first airflow surface;

[0024] When the fan module is located within the receiving space, the first airflow surface of the fan module is in contact with the bottom surface of the recessed portion;

[0025] The second airflow surface of the fan module is flush with the surface of the router module.

[0026] This configuration reduces the impact of the fan module on the router's appearance, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing router.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the recessed portion is provided with heat dissipation holes, which connect the inside and outside of the router module;

[0028] The heat dissipation holes are at least partially oriented towards the first airflow side of the fan module.

[0029] This design reduces airflow resistance, allowing air to enter the fan module more smoothly and further improving the router's heat dissipation performance.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the fan module and the router module are detachably connected via a fixed structure.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, a groove is provided on the first side of the recessed portion;

[0032] The fixing structure includes a protrusion, which is disposed on the fan module. When the fan module is located in the receiving space, the protrusion is inserted into the groove.

[0033] With this configuration, the fan module can be fixed to the router module by inserting the protrusion into the groove, ensuring stable installation of the fan module.

[0035] The fixing structure includes an elastic part, which is located at the second end of the fan module. The end of the elastic part away from the fan module is engaged with the groove on the second side of the recessed part.

[0036] When the fan module is located within the housing space, the elastic part is in a compressed state.

[0037] This design makes the fan module simple in structure and easy to disassemble.

[0038] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing structure includes a fastener that passes through the fan module and is connected to the recess.

[0039] This design prevents the fan module from vibrating violently during operation, thus improving the reliability of the fan module.

[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the fixing structure includes a magnetic element and a magnetic suction element, one of which is disposed in the recessed portion, and the other of which is disposed in the fan module.

[0041] When the fan module is located within the housing space, the magnetic attraction attracts the magnetic component.

[0042] This makes it easy to remove the fan module without the need for tools.

[0043] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a router module. In some embodiments of this application, the router module is provided with a recessed portion, which forms an accommodating space.

[0044] The housing is configured to accommodate the fan module. When the fan module is located in the housing, the router module is at least detachably connected to the fan module.

[0045] The router module is equipped with a second connector;

[0046] When the fan module is in the housing space, the router module is electrically connected to the fan module via the second connector.

[0047] This application provides a router module. The router module has a recessed space that accommodates a fan module, improving its heat dissipation efficiency. The router module and fan module are detachably connected and electrically connected via a second connector. Removing the fan module from the router module only requires disconnecting the second connector, facilitating disassembly, improving efficiency, and simplifying replacement and maintenance. Furthermore, when the router module operates at low power, a fan module may not be necessary, reducing operating costs.

[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the router module includes a power supply unit, which can supply power to the fan module through a second connector;

[0049] And / or, the router module includes a processor that can communicate with the fan module via a second connector.

[0050] The router module's power supply ensures the fan module operates normally, thereby guaranteeing the router module's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0051] And / or, this setting can reduce the power consumption and noise of the router module, and extend the lifespan of the router module while ensuring heat dissipation.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the first side surface of the recess and the second side surface opposite to the first side surface are provided with grooves;

[0053] When the space accommodates the fan module, the groove is inserted into the protrusion of the fan module, and the groove is engaged with the elastic part of the fan module.

[0054] This configuration allows the router module to connect to the fan module via a groove, ensuring the stability of the connection between the router module and the fan module. This enables the fan module to cool the router module and improve its heat dissipation efficiency.

[0055] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a fan module, which is at least detachably mounted on the surface of a router module;

[0056] The fan module is equipped with a first connector;

[0057] The fan module is configured such that when the fan module is placed on the surface of the router module, the fan module and the router module are detachably connected, and the fan module is electrically connected to the router module at least through the first connector.

[0058] This application provides a fan module. The fan module includes a mounting part and a first connector, and is detachably and electrically connected to a router module via the mounting part and the first connector. This design facilitates fan module disassembly, improving disassembly efficiency, simplifying replacement and maintenance, and reducing repair difficulty. Furthermore, the fan module can be used to adapt to other devices or router modules of the same model, thus improving its compatibility.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, the fan module is provided with a protrusion;

[0060] When the fan module is placed in the receiving space formed by the recess on the surface of the router module, the protrusion is inserted into the groove on the first side of the recess.

[0061] This design allows the fan module to be fixed to the router module via the protrusion, ensuring stable installation of the fan module and enabling it to improve the router module's heat dissipation efficiency.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, the protrusion is located at the first end of the fan module;

[0063] The second end of the fan module is provided with an elastic part, and the end of the elastic part away from the fan module is engaged with the groove of the second side of the recessed part that is opposite to the first side.

[0064] When the fan module is located within the housing space, the elastic part is in a compressed state.

[0084] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. It should be noted that the brief descriptions of terms in this application are only for the convenience of understanding the implementation methods described below, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods of this application. Unless otherwise stated, these terms should be understood in their ordinary and common meaning.

[0085] In the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more. Terms such as "first" and "second" are used only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or order.

[0086] With the continuous advancement of network technology, routers need to increase their power to meet the demands of large data transmission volumes and simultaneous online operation of multiple devices. This increased power leads to increased heat generation. To prevent aging and performance degradation of internal components due to high temperatures, a fan module is integrated into the router. The fan module generates airflow through rotation, accelerating heat dissipation and thus reducing the router's temperature and extending its lifespan. However, prolonged operation can lead to performance degradation or malfunction of the fan module due to dust accumulation and bearing wear, requiring regular cleaning or replacement. However, the compact internal structure of routers makes fan module assembly and disassembly complex, resulting in significant maintenance difficulties.

[0087] Firstly, this application provides a router, comprising a router module and a fan module. The router module has a recessed portion forming an accommodating space, within which the fan module is movably disposed. When the fan module is located within the accommodating space, it is fixed to and electrically connected to the router module. The fan module can be disposed within the accommodating space, in which case it can be fixed to and electrically connected to the router module, providing power and enabling communication. The fan module can also be detached from the router module. This design facilitates cleaning and maintenance of the fan module, extending the router's lifespan. In the event of a fan module malfunction, it needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement. The detachable connection between the fan module and the router module avoids the need to remove other parts before disassembling the fan module, making disassembly easier, improving efficiency, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and reducing the difficulty of fan module repair.

[0088] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a router module. The router module has a recessed space that accommodates a fan module, thereby improving the router module's heat dissipation efficiency. The router module and the fan module are detachably connected and electrically connected via a second connector. Removing the fan module from the router module only requires disconnecting the second connector, making disassembly convenient, improving efficiency, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and reducing repair difficulty. Furthermore, when the router module operates at low power, a fan module may not be necessary, thus reducing the router module's operating cost.

[0089] Thirdly, embodiments of this application provide a fan module. The fan module includes a mounting portion and a first connector, and is detachably and electrically connected to a router module via the mounting portion and the first connector. This design facilitates fan module disassembly, improving disassembly efficiency, simplifying replacement and maintenance, and reducing repair difficulty. Furthermore, the fan module can also be used to adapt to other devices or router modules of the same model, thus improving its compatibility.

[0090] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0091] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0092] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this application embodiment provides a router 1, which is used to connect different networks, realize data transmission and forwarding, and provide network access control, etc.

[0093] Router 1 includes router module 20. Router module 20 can connect different networks and perform functions such as data transmission and forwarding.

[0094] Router module 20 includes a processor. The processor is responsible for running the operating system of router 1 and executing various network protocols.

[0095] Router module 20 includes memory. Memory can be used for tasks such as initializing hardware and loading the operating system, storing data, etc.

[0096] Router module 20 includes an access port 202. Access port 202 is a component that physically connects router 1 to external or internal network devices. For example, the interface includes an Ethernet port (for wired connections) and a wireless interface (such as for wireless connections).

[0097] Router module 20 includes a power supply unit. The power supply unit can provide power to other modules to ensure their normal operation.

[0098] The router module 20 includes a housing 200. The housing 200 can protect the internal components of the router 1, such as the processor and memory, from physical damage and extend the service life of the router 1.

[0099] Furthermore, the housing 200 may be equipped with indicator lights. These indicator lights are used to indicate the operating status of the router 1. The housing 200 may also be equipped with heat dissipation holes 211. When the router 1 is operating, the heat generated by the internal components of the housing 200 is dissipated to the outside of the housing 200 through the heat dissipation holes 211.

[0100] A support 201 may be provided on the lower side of the housing 200. The support 201 is used to ensure that the housing 200 is at a certain height from the plane on which the router is placed, which will facilitate the heat dissipation of the router module 20.

[0101] The router module 20 has a recess 21 on its outer casing 200, and the space enclosed by the recess 21 is a receiving space 22. The receiving space 22 can be used to install expansion modules or components, such as storage units, fan modules, screen modules, antenna modules, light modules, temperature and humidity sensor modules, backup power supplies, etc. This can improve the functionality of the router 1.

[0102] For example, the recess 21 can be located on the upper side of the router 1, which facilitates the installation of expansion modules or components. The recess 21 can also be located on the lower side of the router 1, which reduces the obtrusiveness of the expansion modules or components installed in the recess 21 and improves the aesthetics of the router 1. This application does not limit this.

[0103] To improve heat dissipation efficiency, heat dissipation holes 211 are provided in the recess 21. The heat dissipation holes 211 connect the interior and exterior of the router module 20's outer casing 200. When heat is generated inside the router module 20, this heat can be transferred to the exterior of the router module 20 through the openings of the heat dissipation holes 211 via thermal conduction and convection. The heat dissipation holes 211 are evenly distributed in the recess 21 to improve the aesthetics of the router 1.

[0104] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, router 1 further includes a fan module 30. The fan module 30 can accelerate airflow, thereby achieving a heat dissipation effect. When the fan module 30 is operating, it can generate airflow to accelerate heat dissipation, reduce the operating temperature of router 1, and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of router 1. The fan module 30 can be an independent heat dissipation unit and can adopt a standardized design to improve its adaptability. For example, the fan module 30 includes components such as a fan, motor, and controller. The fan module 30 adopts an integrated and modular design to reduce its size and increase its adaptability.

[0105] The fan module 30 is movably mounted within the receiving space 22 and is detachably connected to the router module 20. When the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, it is electrically connected to the router module 20, providing power to the fan module 30. In other words, the fan module 30 can be integrated with the router module 20 or detached from it. The detachable fan module 30 facilitates cleaning and maintenance, extending the lifespan of the router 1. In case of a malfunction, the fan module 30 needs to be disassembled for maintenance or replacement. The detachable connection between the fan module 30 and the router module 20 avoids the need to remove other parts before disassembling the fan module 30, making disassembly easier, improving efficiency, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and reducing repair difficulty.

[0106] When the fan module 30 is located within the housing space 22, the fan module 30 is fixed inside the router module 20 to prevent the fan module 30 from becoming loose or damaged due to vibrations generated when the router 1 is working, so as to ensure the heat dissipation efficiency of the fan module 30.

[0107] When the fan module 30 is located within the housing space 22, the fan module 30 is electrically connected to the router module 20. The fan module 30 can communicate with the router module 20, and the router module 20 can provide power to the fan module 30 during operation.

[0108] In some implementations, when the fan module 30 is located outside the housing space 22, the fan module 30 and the router module 20 can operate independently. That is, the fan module 30 can be used to adapt to other devices or router modules of the same model 20, thus improving the compatibility of the fan module 30.

[0109] It's easy to understand that router module 20 can operate independently without the fan module 30, without affecting its basic functions, thus keeping its cost relatively low. In some cases, router module 20 can be equipped with the fan module 30 to meet the higher power requirements of router 1. The fan module 30 of router 1 is removable to meet different usage needs.

[0110] Reference Figure 4 As shown, the fan module 30 can be electrically connected to the router module 20 through the connection structure 40. For example, the connection structure 40 can be configured as a flexible contact piece, electrical connector, pin, and socket.

[0111] In some implementations, the power supply unit of router module 20 can supply power to fan module 30 through connection structure 40. This ensures that fan module 30 operates normally and guarantees the heat dissipation efficiency of router 1.

[0112] And / or, the processor can communicate with the fan module 30 via the connection structure 40. The processor of the router module 20 can adjust the speed of the fan module 30 via the connection structure 40. This can reduce the power consumption and noise of the router 1, and extend the service life of the router 1 while ensuring heat dissipation. For example, at low temperatures, the router module 20 can reduce the speed of the fan module 30 to reduce noise and power consumption. At high temperatures, the router module 20 can increase the speed of the fan module 30 to ensure heat dissipation.

[0113] Furthermore, the connection structure 40 may include a first connector 41 and a second connector 42. The first connector 41 may be disposed on the fan module 30, and the second connector 42 may be disposed on the recess 21 at a position corresponding to the first connector 41. This facilitates the connection between the first connector 41 and the second connector 42, making it easier to operate the fan module 30 during installation onto the router module 20.

[0114] When the fan module 30 is located within the housing space 22, the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 are electrically connected. The structure of the first connector 41 and the second connector 42 ensures the reliability of the router 1 and facilitates the disassembly, assembly, and maintenance of the fan module 30.

[0115] Specifically, the first connector 41 is configured as a spring pin, and the second connector 42 is configured as a female connector. The spring pin is characterized by its simple structure and ease of manufacture and installation. When the spring pin and the female connector are in contact, this ensures the stability and reliability of the connection between the fan module 30 and the router module 20.

[0116] For example, the first connector 41 can be disposed at the bottom of the recess 21. This facilitates the installation of the fan module 30 into the receiving space 22 formed by the recess 21, and in order to avoid the connecting structure 40 from blocking the heat dissipation hole 211, the first connector 41 can be disposed near the side wall of the recess 21.

[0117] The fan module 30 includes a first air surface and a second air surface opposite to the first air surface. When the fan module 30 is located in the receiving space 22, the first air surface of the fan module 30 is in contact with the bottom surface of the recess 21, and the second air surface of the fan module 30 is flush with the surface of the router module 20.

[0118] In some implementations, when the fan module 30 is located within the housing space 22, the second airflow surface of the fan module 30 can be flush with the surface of the router module 20. This reduces the impact of the fan module 30 on the appearance of the router 1, making the router 1 look neat and aesthetically pleasing.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the rotation of the fan in the fan module 30 generates negative pressure, creating airflow. The fan module 30 blows cool air from outside the router 1 directly into the housing 200. That is, the fan module 30 draws in external cool air through the second airflow surface, passes it through the first airflow surface into the housing 200, exchanges heat with the hot air inside the housing 200, and then exhausts the hot air through the heat dissipation holes 211 on both sides of the housing 200. The first airflow surface of the fan module 30 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the recess 21, which reduces the path of the cool air and improves heat dissipation efficiency.

[0120] In some embodiments, when the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the fan in the fan module 30 generates negative pressure through its rotation. Hot air inside the housing 200 is drawn in through the first airflow surface of the fan module 30 and discharged through the second airflow surface of the fan module 30. The discharge of hot air allows cool air to enter the housing 200 through the heat dissipation holes 211 on both sides of the housing 200, reducing the internal temperature of the housing 200. The first airflow surface of the fan module 30 can be in contact with the bottom surface of the recess 21 to ensure smooth airflow from the fan module 30 to the second airflow surface, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the router 1.

[0121] In order to reduce the air intake resistance of the fan module 30 and increase the air intake volume of the fan module 30, so that air can enter or exit the fan module 30 more smoothly, both the first air surface and the second air surface of the fan module 30 can be provided with perforations.

[0122] For example, the second airflow surface of the fan module 30 can be configured as an annular spoke-shaped hollow, which reduces the airflow resistance of the fan module 30 while ensuring that the fan module 30 has a certain strength.

[0123] As mentioned earlier, the recessed portion 21 is provided with heat dissipation holes 211. The heat dissipation holes 211 located at the bottom of the recessed portion 21 face the first airflow surface of the fan module 30. This arrangement can reduce the resistance during airflow, allowing air to enter the fan module 30 more smoothly, further improving the heat dissipation performance of the router 1.

[0124] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the fan module 30 and the router module 20 can be detachably connected via a fixing structure 50. The fixing structure 50 facilitates the removal of the fan module 30, improving maintenance and replacement efficiency. For example, after prolonged use, the fan module 30 may accumulate dust or malfunction. To maintain the heat dissipation performance of the router 1, the fan module 30 needs to be cleaned or replaced periodically.

[0125] In some embodiments, the fixing structure 50 includes a magnetic element and a magnetic suction element. The magnetic element is disposed in the recess 21, and the magnetic suction element is disposed in the fan module 30. Alternatively, the magnetic suction element is disposed in the recess 21, and the magnetic element is disposed in the fan module 30.

[0126] When the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the router module 20 secures the fan module 30 within the receiving space 22 by attracting the magnetic component. The magnetic force of the magnetic component fixes the fan module 30 in the receiving space 22, facilitating the removal of the fan module 30 without the need for tools.

[0127] For example, the magnetic components can be configured as two magnets. By using the attraction between opposite magnetic poles, the router module 20 secures the fan module 30 within the receiving space 22. This eliminates the need for tools during the removal of the fan module 30, improving its removal efficiency.

[0128] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the magnetic component of the fixing structure 50 includes a protrusion 52, which is disposed on the fan module 30. A groove 51 may be provided on the first side of the recess 21, and the position of the groove 51 corresponds to that of the protrusion 52. When the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the protrusion 52 is inserted into the groove 51 to fix the fan module 30 to the router module 20 through the fixing structure 50, ensuring stable installation and fixation of the fan module 30.

[0129] For ease of understanding, the side of the recess 21 furthest from the access port 202 is defined as the first side of the recess 21. The first side of the recess 21 mates with the side of the first end of the fan module 30, and the second side of the recess 21 mates with the side of the second end of the fan module 30. The first side and the second side of the recess 21 are positioned opposite each other. The protrusion 52 at the first end of the fan module 30 is inserted into the groove 51 located on the first side of the recess 21 to allow the fan module 30 to be initially positioned during installation.

[0130] Continue to refer to Figure 5 As shown, the fixing structure 50 may include an elastic part 53, which is located at the second end of the fan module 30. A groove 51 may be provided on the second side of the recessed portion 21. The first end of the elastic part 53 is connected to the second end of the fan module 30. The end of the elastic part 53 facing away from the first end, i.e., the area on the elastic part 53 facing away from the fan module 30, engages with the groove 51 on the second side of the recessed portion 21. This makes the disassembly of the fan module 30 simple and quick, facilitating its subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0131] When the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the elastic part 53 is in a compressed state, and the elastic part 53 will generate elasticity, which improves the stability of the fan module 30 installation, thereby achieving stable fixation.

[0132] Specifically, the first end of the fan module 30 has two protrusions 52, and the second end of the fan module 30 has an elastic part 53. Correspondingly, the recessed part 21 also has a groove 51. First, the two protrusions 52 are inserted into their corresponding grooves 51, and then the elastic part 53 is engaged with the corresponding groove 51. This design makes the structure of the fan module 30 simple and easy to disassemble.

[0133] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the fan module 30 vibrates during operation. To improve the reliability of the fan module 30, a through hole is machined in the fan module 30, and a threaded hole is machined on the bottom surface of the recess 21 corresponding to the position of the through hole. The fastener 54 passes through the through hole of the fan module 30 and is threadedly connected to the recess 21, further improving the stability of the fan module 30.

[0134] Specifically, fastener 54 can be a screw or other similar component. Fastener 54 can also be a countersunk screw, so that the fan module 30 is flush with the surface of the router module 20 after being fastened, improving the aesthetics of the router 1.

[0135] This application provides a router module 20. The router module 20 has a recess 21 forming a receiving space 22, which can accommodate a fan module 30. When the fan module 30 is located in the receiving space 22, the router module 20 is at least detachably connected to the fan module 30. The router module has a second connector 42, through which the router module 20 can be electrically connected to the fan module 30 within the receiving space 22.

[0136] The router module 20 has a recessed space 22 formed by the recessed portion 21, which accommodates the fan module 30. The fan module 30 improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the router module 20. The router module 20 and the fan module 30 are detachably connected and electrically connected via a second connector 42. Removing the fan module 30 from the router module 20 only requires disconnecting the second connector 42, making disassembly easy, improving efficiency, facilitating replacement and maintenance, and reducing the difficulty of repairing the fan module 30.

[0137] In addition, if the router module 20 operates at low power, it does not need to be paired with the fan module 30, which can reduce the cost of using the router module 20.

[0138] The router module 20 includes a power supply unit, which supplies power to the fan module 30 via the second connector 42. The power supply unit ensures the normal operation of the fan module 30, thereby guaranteeing the heat dissipation efficiency of the router module 20.

[0139] In some embodiments, the processor router module 20 includes a processor that can communicate with the fan module 30 via a second connector 42. The processor of the router module 20 can adjust the speed of the fan module 30 via the connection structure 40. This reduces the power consumption and noise of the router module 20, extending its lifespan while ensuring effective heat dissipation. For example, at lower temperatures, the router module 20 can reduce the speed of the fan module 30 to reduce noise and power consumption. At higher temperatures, the router module 20 can increase the speed of the fan module 30 to ensure effective heat dissipation.

[0140] In some embodiments, the first side of the recessed portion 21 and the second side opposite to the first side are provided with grooves 51, which engage with the elastic portion 53 of the fan module 30. When the receiving space 22 receives the fan module 30, the groove 51 is inserted into the protrusion 52 of the fan module 30 and engaged with the elastic portion 53. In this way, the router module 20 and the fan module 30 can be connected through the groove 51, ensuring the stability of the connection between the router module 20 and the fan module 30, so that the fan module 30 can cool the router module 20 and improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the router module 20.

[0141] This application embodiment also provides a fan module 30. The fan module 30 is at least detachably mounted on the surface of the router module. The fan module 30 is provided with a mounting portion and a first connector 41. The fan module 30 is configured such that when the fan module 30 is mounted on the surface of the router module, the fan module 30 is detachably connected to the router module 20 at least through the mounting portion, and the fan module 30 is electrically connected to the router module 20 at least through the first connector 41.

[0142] The fan module 30 is provided with a mounting part and a first connector 41. The fan module 30 is detachably and electrically connected to the router module 20 through the mounting part and the first connector 41. This configuration makes the fan module 30 easy to disassemble, improves the disassembly efficiency of the fan module 30, facilitates the replacement and maintenance of the fan module 30, and reduces the maintenance difficulty of the fan module 30.

[0143] In addition, the fan module 30 can also be used to adapt to other devices or the same model of router module 20, which can improve the compatibility of the fan module 30.

[0144] The fan module has a protrusion 52. The router module 20 has a recess 21, which forms an accommodating space 22. The first side of the recess 21 has a groove 51.

[0145] When the fan module 30 is placed within the receiving space 22, the protrusion 52 is inserted into the recess 51. This arrangement allows the fan module 30 to be fixed to the router module 20 via the protrusion 52, ensuring stable installation of the fan module 30 and enabling it to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the router module 20.

[0146] A protrusion 52 is located at the first end of the fan module 30, and a groove 51 is located on the second side of the recessed portion 21 opposite to the first side of the recessed portion 21. An elastic portion 53 is provided at the second end of the fan module 30, with one end of the elastic portion 53 facing away from the fan module 30 engaging with the groove 51 of the recessed portion 21. That is, one end of the elastic portion 53 is connected to the second end of the fan module 30, and the free end of the elastic portion 53 can engage with the groove 51 of the recessed portion 21. When the fan module 30 is located within the receiving space 22, the elastic portion 53 is in a compressed state. This configuration allows the fan module 30 to be fixed to the router module 20 via the elastic portion 53, ensuring stable installation of the fan module 30 and enabling the fan module 30 to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the router module 20.
