Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of computer hardware technology, and in particular to a ruggedized computer host with waterproof and shock-absorbing functions. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology and the increasing diversification of application scenarios, the application environment of computer equipment has become more and more complex, especially in some specific industries or scenarios, such as industrial automation, field exploration, military applications, transportation, outdoor activities and emergency rescue. Computer equipment not only has to withstand the effects of extreme weather conditions, but also has to face various physical challenges, such as impact, vibration, dust and moisture intrusion.

[0003] However, traditional computer host designs are primarily optimized for relatively stable and controlled indoor environments, lacking effective protection against harsh external conditions. This results in significant deficiencies in the following two aspects of traditional computer hosts: 1. Waterproofing: Most standard computer hosts currently lack sufficient waterproofing capabilities. Once splashed or immersed in liquid, internal electronic components are easily corroded or short-circuited, leading to equipment failure or even permanent damage; 2. Vibration resistance: In environments with frequent movement or vibration, such as near vehicles or heavy machinery, computer hosts are prone to internal hardware loosening, poor contact, or even physical damage due to continuous vibration. This not only shortens the lifespan of the equipment but may also lead to data loss or system crashes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a ruggedized computer host with waterproof and shock-absorbing functions. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional computer hosts in terms of waterproof performance and shock resistance, this utility model provides a reinforced computer host with waterproof and shock-absorbing functions.

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a ruggedized computer host with waterproof and shock-absorbing functions, comprising a host chassis, an external waterproof shell, a side cover snapped onto the right side of the host chassis, several ventilation slots formed in the middle of the side cover, multiple second magnets and first magnets respectively embedded on the side of the side cover and the right side of the waterproof shell, a ventilation grille on the left side of the waterproof shell, sliding grooves on both sides of the ventilation grille, a waterproof plate slidably mounted on the sliding grooves, and an insertion port on the surface of the waterproof plate. Multiple fourth and third magnets are embedded in the top of the plate and the upper left part of the waterproof shell, respectively. The bottom of the waterproof shell is provided with a fixed base, and the fixed base is provided with threaded sleeves located on both sides of the waterproof shell. The threaded sleeves are threaded with threaded push rods inside. The lower two sides of the waterproof shell are respectively provided with round holes for the threaded push rods to pass through. The ends of the threaded push rods are provided with rubber blocks. The bottom of the fixed base is fixedly connected to a support plate. Multiple shock absorbers are provided at the bottom of the support plate. One end of the shock absorber is connected to the bottom of the support plate, and the other end is connected to a base.

[0007] Optionally, a rubber pad is provided between the support plate and the bottom of the waterproof shell.

[0008] Optionally, the ventilation slots and the ventilation grilles are both designed at an angle.

[0009] Optionally, the side cover has slots on both sides, and a dust filter is provided on the side of the side cover facing the waterproof shell. Both sides of the dust filter are fixed with buckles that cooperate with the slots.

[0010] Optionally, a partition is fixedly connected to the upper part of the waterproof shell, forming a channel for airflow to the side cover between the partition and the waterproof shell. Multiple sets of mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof shell by screws. Each set of mounting brackets is equipped with a semiconductor cooling module. Each semiconductor cooling module has metal fins at its top and bottom, and a fan is installed on each metal fin.

[0011] Optionally, the base is provided with multiple foot pads at its bottom.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. Through the design of waterproof shell and waterproof plate, it provides all-round waterproof protection, so that the main unit can effectively resist the intrusion of water and other liquids, and ensure that the equipment can work normally in humid environment or when it may be splashed with water. In addition, through the multi-layer cooperation of shock absorber, rubber block and rubber pad, it can efficiently absorb and disperse the vibration energy from the external environment, thereby protecting the main unit and its internal hardware from vibration damage.

[0013] 2. By adding a dust filter to the side cover, the air entering from the ventilation slot can be effectively filtered, and dust and impurities in the air can be blocked from entering the main unit.

[0014] 3. By integrating components such as ventilation grilles, heat-conducting fins, and fans, efficient air circulation and heat management are achieved, ensuring that the main unit can maintain a suitable operating temperature even in a closed environment, avoiding performance degradation or hardware damage caused by overheating.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-5 A ruggedized computer host with waterproof and shock-absorbing functions includes a host case 2 and a waterproof shell 1. The host case 2 is externally equipped with a waterproof shell 1. A side cover 4 is snapped onto the right side of the host case 2. Several ventilation slots 6 are opened in the middle of the side cover 4 to promote air circulation and heat dissipation. Four second magnets 5 and first magnets 3 are respectively embedded on the side of the side cover 4 and the right side of the waterproof shell 1. The side cover 4 is fixed by the magnetic attraction between the second magnets 5 and the first magnets 3. A ventilation grille 7 is provided on the left side of the waterproof shell 1. The ventilation grille 7 and the ventilation slots 6 on the side cover 4 work together to ensure that the air inside the host case 2 is protected from airflow and heat dissipation. The device features good air circulation and heat dissipation. Furthermore, the vents on the ventilation slots 6 and 7 are angled to guide moisture away from the vents, preventing direct water inflow into the equipment. The ventilation grille 7 has sliding grooves 8 on both its front and rear sides, on which a waterproof plate 9 is slidably mounted. The surface of the waterproof plate 9 has an insertion port 901 for connecting external equipment to the main unit 2. Two fourth magnets 11 and a third magnet 10 are embedded in the top of the waterproof plate 9 and the upper left part of the waterproof shell 1, respectively. The waterproof plate 9 is fixed in place by the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnets 11 and the third magnet 10. A fixed base 12 is provided at the bottom of the waterproof housing 1. A threaded sleeve 13 is provided on the fixed base 12 on both the front and rear sides of the waterproof housing 1. A threaded push rod 14 is threaded inside the threaded sleeve 13. Circular holes for the threaded push rod 14 to pass through are correspondingly opened on both sides of the lower part of the waterproof housing 1. A rubber block 15 is provided at the end of the threaded push rod 14. When the threaded push rod 14 is rotated, the rubber block 15 can fit tightly against the surface of the main unit housing 2, thereby stabilizing the main unit housing 2 inside the waterproof housing 1 and preventing the main unit housing 2 from moving due to vibration or rigidly colliding with the waterproof housing 1. A support plate 16 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 12. The support plate 16 and the... A rubber pad 19 is provided between the bottom of the waterproof shell 1 to reduce vibration transmission and provide additional cushioning protection. Four shock absorbers 17 are provided around the bottom of the support plate 16 to absorb and disperse upward vibration energy and protect the main unit 2 from vibration. One end of the shock absorber 17 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 16, and the other end is connected to the base 18. Four foot pads 27 are provided around the bottom of the base 18. The foot pads 27 are made of rubber or other elastic materials to provide additional support points, increase the friction between the equipment and the placement surface, and thus improve the overall stability.

[0024] During installation, firstly, remove the side cover 4, install the main unit 2 into the waterproof shell 1, and then reinstall the side cover 4. The side cover 4 is secured using the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 5. Next, adjust the position of the waterproof plate 9 according to the required external device connections, ensuring the connector 901 on the waterproof plate 9 is accurately aligned with the corresponding interface on the main unit 2. Once the connector 901 is aligned with the interface on the main unit 2, the waterproof plate 9 is secured by the magnetic attraction between the fourth magnet 11 and the third magnet 10. Then, the connectors of external devices can be directly inserted into the interfaces of the main unit 2 through the connectors 901 on the waterproof plate 9. At this point, the waterproof plate 9 not only guides the connectors to connect correctly but also effectively shields the interfaces, preventing moisture and other liquids from entering. Combined with the waterproof shell 1, it provides a comprehensive waterproof barrier for the entire main unit 2, effectively resisting external environmental factors. The design, which prevents moisture and liquid leakage and includes ventilation slots 6 and ventilation grilles 7, ensures internal air circulation, facilitates heat dissipation, and maintains stable system operation. After the main unit 2 is installed in the waterproof shell 1, the rubber block 15 is gradually brought closer to the surface of the main unit 2 and a certain pressure is applied by rotating the threaded top rod 14, thereby fixing the main unit 2 inside the waterproof shell 1. When the main unit 2 is subjected to external vibration, such as ground vibration or bumps during transportation, the vibration energy will first act on the base 18. At this time, most of the vibration energy is absorbed by the shock absorber 17, and the vibration energy is converted into heat energy and released through its own deformation or internal fluid movement. The remaining vibration energy is further absorbed by the rubber pad 19, reducing its impact on the main unit 2. Finally, even if a small amount of vibration is transmitted to the main unit 2, the rubber block 15 protects the main unit 2 by fixing it, preventing displacement or collision.

[0025] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to... Figure 3 The side cover 4 has slots 20 on both the front and back sides. A dust filter 21 is provided on the side of the side cover 4 facing the waterproof shell 1. The dust filter 21 has buckles 22 fixed on both the front and back sides that cooperate with the slots 20. The buckles 22 match the slots 20 on the side cover 4 and are fixed by snap-fit ​​connection.

[0026] When installing the dust filter 21, first align the buckle 22 on one side of the dust filter 21 with the corresponding slot 20 on the side cover 4, and then slide the dust filter 21 along the length of the side cover 4 until the buckle 22 on the other side is also fully inserted into the corresponding slot 20, thereby completing the secure installation of the dust filter 21. Through the setting of the dust filter 21, the air entering from the ventilation slot 6 can be effectively filtered, and dust and impurities in the air can be blocked from entering the main unit 2.

[0027] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 6A partition 2201 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the waterproof shell 1. The partition 2201 and the waterproof shell 1 form a channel for airflow to the side cover 4. Three sets of mounting brackets 23 are fixedly connected to the top of the waterproof shell 1 by screws. Each set of mounting brackets 23 has a total of two brackets. A semiconductor cooling module 24 is installed between the two mounting brackets 23 in each set. The semiconductor cooling module 24 absorbs heat to generate cooling to reduce the internal temperature of the main unit 2 on one side and releases heat on the other side. Each semiconductor cooling module 24 has metal fins 25 on its top and bottom to enhance heat exchange efficiency and help conduct cooling and heat. A fan 26 is installed on each metal fin 25 to accelerate the flow of cooling and the dissipation of heat.

[0028] During the operation of the main unit chassis 2, the semiconductor cooling module 24 is activated by power. Due to the characteristics of the semiconductor cooling module 24, one side absorbs heat and generates cold air. This cold air is guided into the interior of the main unit chassis 2 through the lower metal fins 25 and the fan 26 for effective cooling. On the other side, it releases heat. This heat is guided into the channel between the partition 2201 and the waterproof shell 1 through the upper metal fins 25 and the fan 26. This channel guides the heat to the ventilation slot 6 and finally exhausts it into the external environment.

[0029] Although this disclosure has been described with respect to only a limited number of embodiments, those skilled in the art who benefit from this disclosure will understand that various other embodiments can be devised without departing from the scope of this invention. Therefore, the scope of this invention should be limited only by the appended claims.
