Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network managers, and in particular to a desktop fanless network manager with good heat dissipation. Background Technology
[0002] A network manager is a broadband signal control device used to control a network. It is widely used in multi-device environments such as enterprises and educational institutions and is a common network device. With the development of existing network managers, the internal integration is becoming higher and higher. As the usage load increases, the internal temperature will be high. If the temperature is not dissipated in time, it will cause internal components to burn out, affecting the service life and causing economic losses.
[0003] A prior art network manager with rapid heat dissipation is disclosed, comprising a network manager body, a top cover, and a cooling fan. The base surface of the network manager body has multiple sets of connection interfaces and charging interfaces. First grooves are provided on both sides of the top of the base surface of the network manager body. Multiple sets of ventilation holes are opened on both sides of the network manager body. A mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the outside of the ventilation holes on the network manager body. A slot is provided on the inner wall of the mounting bracket. A filter frame is installed inside the mounting bracket. A pull handle is installed on the top of the filter frame. Locking blocks are provided on both sides of the filter frame. A second dust filter is embedded inside the filter frame. A controller and a temperature sensor are provided inside the network manager body. When the temperature sensor detects that the internal temperature is too high, it transmits a signal to the controller. The controller then controls the cooling fan to operate, dissipating the internal heat. The multiple sets of ventilation holes on both sides of the network manager body allow heat to dissipate through the ventilation holes. The intake air creates internal airflow, improving heat dissipation and preventing overheating that could shorten the device's lifespan. However, this type of network manager has several drawbacks: Firstly, it uses a cooling fan, which is ineffective and generates heat during operation. Secondly, the cooling fan produces noise, especially under high loads or during extended periods, potentially disrupting the quietness of the environment. In environments with high noise levels (such as libraries, offices, and bedrooms), this noise can be disruptive. Finally, the airflow created by the cooling fan acts like a vacuum cleaner, easily drawing dust, hair, and other debris into the network manager. Over time, this dust accumulates on electronic components, affecting heat dissipation and potentially causing short circuits, poor connections, and reduced component lifespan.
[0004] Therefore, a new technical solution needs to be researched to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] In view of this, the present invention addresses the deficiencies of the existing technology, and its main objective is to provide a desktop fanless network manager with good heat dissipation. Through the design of the aluminum housing and cover plate and heat dissipation components, there is no need to install a fan for heat dissipation, reducing the weight of the router. This makes it suitable for use in smaller office spaces and SOHO environments. Furthermore, aluminum has high thermal conductivity, which can quickly conduct heat generated by the electronic components inside the housing away, helping to maintain a stable internal temperature of the device, preventing performance degradation or component damage due to overheating, and improving the reliability and stability of the network manager.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A desktop fanless network manager with good heat dissipation includes a housing and a removable cover plate on the housing. The housing and the cover plate form an accommodating space, in which a motherboard, a heat dissipation component and a memory module are disposed.
[0008] Both the housing and the cover are made of aluminum. The heat dissipation assembly includes a heat sink and a heat-conducting block.

The heat-conducting base is disposed on the motherboard, and the plurality of first heat sinks and the plurality of second heat sinks are spaced apart on the upper end surface of the heat-conducting base. The positioning block is disposed on the upper end surface of the heat-conducting base and is located beside the plurality of first heat sinks and the plurality of second heat sinks to separate the plurality of first heat sinks and the plurality of second heat sinks to form a first heat dissipation area and a second heat dissipation area. The lower end surface of the heat-conducting block abuts against the positioning block, and the upper end surface of the heat-conducting block abuts against the inner end surface of the cover to conduct heat from the motherboard to the cover.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the plurality of first heat sinks and the plurality of second heat sinks are integrally formed on the heat-conducting base.
[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the motherboard has several first locking holes; the heat-conducting base has a second locking hole corresponding to the first locking holes, and the heat-conducting base is locked to the motherboard by first screws passing through the first locking holes and the second locking holes respectively, so as to ensure the installation stability of the heat-conducting base and prevent it from loosening and affecting the heat conduction effect.
[0011] As a preferred embodiment, the positioning block is provided with a plurality of first positioning holes; the heat-conducting block is provided with a second positioning hole corresponding to the first positioning hole; the heat-conducting block is locked onto the positioning block by second screws passing through the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole respectively, so as to ensure the installation stability of the heat-conducting block and prevent it from loosening and affecting the heat conduction effect.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a first connecting post extends from the housing, and a second connecting post is provided on the cover plate for connecting with the first connecting post. The cover plate is detachably mounted on the housing through the cooperation of the second connecting post and the first connecting post.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment, an indicator light is provided on the end of the housing away from the power interface, and the indicator light is at least partially exposed outside the housing and electrically connected to the motherboard.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model has obvious advantages and beneficial effects. Specifically, as can be seen from the above technical solution, it mainly uses the design of aluminum shell and cover plate. In this way, there is no need to install a fan for heat dissipation, reducing the weight of the router. It is suitable for use in smaller office spaces and SOHO. In addition, aluminum has high thermal conductivity, which can quickly conduct away the heat generated by the electronic components inside the shell, helping to maintain the stable internal temperature of the device, preventing performance degradation or component damage due to overheating, improving the reliability and stability of the network manager, and having a certain strength, which can effectively protect the internal components from external forces such as collision and compression, and is not easily deformed, ensuring that the device operates normally in various environments.
[0017] Secondly, there is the design of the heat dissipation component.

The heat conduction base is disposed on the motherboard, the lower end face of the heat conduction block abuts against the positioning block, and the upper end face of the heat conduction block abuts against the inner end face of the cover plate to conduct heat from the motherboard to the cover plate. In this way, the heat conduction base conducts heat to the heat sinks and then conducts it out through the aluminum shell and the cover plate.
[0018] Finally, the bottom shell and the cover plate are combined to form a closed space, which effectively protects the circuit components inside the shell and prevents dust from entering.
