[0028] This utility model embodiment provides a computer cabinet that can prevent cotton lint from entering.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 The system includes a cabinet 1, with a ventilation window 8 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the cabinet 1 and a protective box 9 fixedly connected to the top surface of the cabinet 1. The ventilation window 8 facilitates the ventilation operation of the cooling fan 2, providing support for reducing the internal temperature of the cabinet 1. The protective box 9 can protect the transmission mechanism 4, preventing external objects from colliding with and affecting the normal operation of the transmission mechanism 4.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 The cabinet 1 is equipped with a cooling fan 2, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application. The cooling fan 2 is fixed to the mounting bracket inside the cabinet 1 by bolts, providing space for the installation of the coupling 5. When the cooling fan 2 is running, it can draw in the air outside the cabinet 1 through the ventilation plate 3 and then exhaust it through the heat dissipation window 8. During the air flow, it can carry away the temperature inside the cabinet 1, thereby playing a role in cooling.

[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The cabinet 1 is equipped with a coupling 5 inside. The coupling 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the cooling fan 2 by a connecting rod. The coupling 5 is existing technology and will not be described in detail in this application. The coupling 5 can connect the two shafts to rotate and can also reduce the speed according to the actual speed requirements to avoid the cooling fan 2 running too fast and driving the transmission mechanism 4 to clean too fast, which would ultimately affect the service life of the transmission mechanism 4.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Both the coupling 5 and the transmission rod 401 are fixedly connected to pulleys 6. The two pulleys 6 are connected by belt drive. When the cooling fan 2 starts to cool the inside of the cabinet 1, the coupling 5 will rotate with the rotation of the cooling fan 2. The coupling 5 can drive the pulley 6 connected to it to rotate. The rotation of the pulley 6 can drive the pulley 6 connected to the transmission rod 401 to rotate through the belt, thereby driving the transmission rod 401 to rotate, providing power for the subsequent cleaning operation of the transmission mechanism 4. The middle part of the pulley 6 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 1 through the connecting rod to increase the stability of the rotation of the coupling 5 and the pulley 6.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 A ventilation plate 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the cabinet 1. The ventilation plate 3 has small mesh holes, which can filter and block cotton fibers in the air without affecting the air intake. This prevents cotton fibers from entering the cabinet 1 with the air and causing accidents such as short circuits or fires in the computer's internal circuitry, thus protecting the safety of computer use and reducing the probability of accidents.

[0034] A transmission mechanism 4 is installed on the top of the cabinet body 1. The transmission mechanism 4 includes a transmission rod 401. A fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the cabinet body 1. The transmission rod 401 passes through the fixing block 7 and is rotatably connected to the fixing block 7. The transmission mechanism 4 can clean the ventilation plate 3 to prevent cotton wool from accumulating on the top of the ventilation plate 3 under long-term obstruction and affecting the ventilation effect of the ventilation plate 3. The fixing block 7 provides support for the rotation of the transmission rod 401, so that when the pulley 6 rotates, it can drive the transmission rod 401 to rotate stably, thereby improving the stability of the device.

[0035] Please refer to it again. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 One end of the transmission rod 401 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 402. The end of the rotating rod 402 is rotatably connected to a driven rotating rod 403. The end of the driven rotating rod 403 is rotatably connected to a drive gear 404. The rotation of the transmission rod 401 can drive the rotating rod 402 to rotate, the rotation of the rotating rod 402 can drive the driven rotating rod 403 to rotate, and the rotation of the driven rotating rod 403 can drive the drive gear 404 to rotate. Under the meshing and limiting action of the fixed rack 406 and the moving rack 408, the drive gear 404 will reciprocate above the fixed rack 406 as the rotating rod 402 rotates, thereby driving the moving rack 408 to reciprocate inside the support frame 407. The rotating rod 402 and the driven rotating rod 403 mainly play the role of transmission and range extension, increasing the distance that the drive gear 404 moves. The length of the rotating rod 402 and the driven rotating rod 403 can be adjusted according to the distance of the ventilation plate 3, so that the cleaning roller 409 can perform a better cleaning operation on the ventilation plate 3.

[0036] The top surface of the cabinet 1 is provided with a slot 405. A fixed rack 406 is fixedly connected inside the slot 405. The drive gear 404 meshes with the fixed rack 406. The fixed rack 406 provides support and limit for the movement of the drive gear 404, so that when the driven rod 403 pulls the drive gear 404, the drive gear 404 will move above the fixed rack 406. The slot 405 provides space for the rotation of the rotating rod 402 and the transmission of the driven rod 403.

[0037] The top surface of the cabinet 1 is fixedly connected to two support frames 407. Each support frame 407 has a sliding rack 408 inside. The support frame 407 provides support for the sliding of the sliding rack 408, so that the sliding rack 408 can remain stable during the back and forth movement. The arrangement of the two support frames 407 and the sliding rack 408 can provide better stability for the cleaning operation of the cleaning roller 409.

[0038] The drive gear 404 meshes with the corresponding movable rack 408. The outer surfaces of the two movable racks 408 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 410. When the drive gear 404 moves under the pull of the driven rotating rod 403, it will also drive the movable rack 408 to move inside the support frame 407, so that the movable rack 408 can reciprocate inside the support frame 407, providing power for the automatic cleaning of the subsequent cleaning roller 409.

[0039] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A cleaning roller 409 is installed above the ventilation plate 3. When the moving rack 408 drives the cleaning roller 409 to move back and forth on the top surface of the ventilation plate 3, the cleaning roller 409 will rotate inside the connecting frame 410 under the action of friction. A layer of adhesive paper is adhered to the surface of the cleaning roller 409, which can pick up the cotton wool on the surface of the ventilation plate 3 and prevent the cotton wool from clogging the ventilation plate 3.

[0040] The two ends of the cleaning roller 409 are rotatably connected to two connecting frames 410 respectively. The adhesive paper roll is existing technology, and its usage and material will not be described in detail in this application. The two ends of the cleaning roller 409 can be fixed to the connecting frame 410 by bolts, which makes it easy to replace the paper roll on the cleaning roller 409 and ensure the cleaning effect of the cleaning roller 409.

[0041] Working principle: When the cooling fan 2 starts to cool the computer cabinet, the cooling fan 2 rotates and drives the pulley 6 to rotate through the coupling 5. Under the transmission effect of the belt, the pulley 6 drives the transmission rod 401 to rotate inside the fixed block 7. The rotation of the transmission rod 401 drives the drive gear 404 to move back and forth above the fixed rack 406 through the rotating rod 402 and the driven rotating rod 403. The movement of the drive gear 404 drives the moving rack 408 to move back and forth inside the support frame 407, thereby driving the cleaning roller 409 to rotate back and forth on the surface of the ventilation plate 3, removing the cotton wool blocking the surface of the ventilation plate 3, and preventing the cotton wool from blocking the ventilation plate 3 and affecting the ventilation effect of the device.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model.
