[0004] In the above solution, by installing the heat sink on the underside of the processor circuit board and then dissipating heat through it, the first heat sink, the second heat sink, and the third heat sink, the following disadvantages arise: when in use, this heat dissipation structure can only dissipate heat from the circuit board and cannot effectively dissipate heat from inside the terminal processor, thereby reducing the overall heat dissipation efficiency and leading to a decrease in the reliability and stability of the terminal processor. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a heat dissipation structure for a virtual power plant terminal processor, in order to solve the problem that the heat dissipation structure can only dissipate heat from the circuit board and cannot effectively dissipate heat from inside the terminal processor, thereby reducing the overall heat dissipation efficiency and leading to a decrease in the reliability and stability of the terminal processor.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, the present utility model adopts the following technical solution: a heat dissipation structure for a virtual power plant terminal processor, including a cover plate, the cover plate being detachably disposed on the right side of the outer wall of the terminal processor body, the terminal processor body having a processor circuit board inside, an air inlet hole being provided on the right side of the cover plate, the air inlet hole gradually decreasing in size from right to left, an exhaust hole being provided on the top surface of the terminal processor body, a fan being fixed inside the exhaust hole, and a flow guide frame being fixed on the right side of the outer wall of the cover plate, the flow guide frame gradually decreasing in size from right to left.
[0007] Preferably, a cooling box is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the terminal processor body, the top surface of the cooling box is in contact with the bottom surface of the processor circuit board, the cooling box contains coolant, a heat sink is fixed to the inner bottom surface of the cooling box, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are opened on the inner bottom surface of the cooling box, heat sinks are fixed inside the plurality of heat dissipation holes, the top ends of the plurality of heat sinks are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the heat sink, the plurality of heat sinks penetrate the inner bottom surface of the terminal processor body and extend toward the bottom of the terminal processor body, and a plurality of support columns are fixed to the bottom surface of the terminal processor body.

[0009] Preferably, the outer right side of the guide frame is detachably provided with an installation frame, and a dustproof net is fixed inside the installation frame.
[0010] Preferably, a first magnet is fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the guide frame, and a second magnet is fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the mounting frame, with the two second magnets magnetically attracted to the two first magnets respectively.
[0011] Preferably, the outer wall of the terminal processor body has a plurality of threaded grooves on the right side, and the cover plate has a plurality of threaded holes on one side. Bolts are threaded into the plurality of threaded holes respectively, and the threaded ends of the plurality of bolts are threaded into the plurality of threaded grooves respectively.
[0012] Compared with existing technologies, the virtual power plant terminal processor heat dissipation structure that adopts the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. In use, the combined use of the cover plate, air inlet, air outlet, fan and air guide frame facilitates rapid heat dissipation of the processor circuit board and the terminal processor body, improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency, ensures that the terminal processor body operates within a suitable temperature range, effectively avoids performance degradation or even damage caused by overheating, and improves the reliability and stability of the terminal processor body.
[0014] Second, during use, the coolant in the cooling tank cools the bottom of the processor circuit board.

The combined action of the heatsink and heatsink continuously cools the coolant, ensuring the bottom of the processor circuit board remains at a low temperature. This effectively improves the heat dissipation performance of the processor and extends its lifespan. The curved plate allows air to flow more smoothly through all corners, preventing heat accumulation in the internal corners of the processor and improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0015] Thirdly, during use, the combined use of the mounting frame and dust filter effectively blocks dust and other impurities from the air, preventing them from entering the internal structure of the terminal processor and ensuring the device's heat dissipation performance and lifespan. The combined use of the first and second magnets allows for quick assembly and disassembly of the mounting frame and dust filter, facilitating cleaning or replacement. The use of threaded grooves, threaded holes, and bolts allows for easy assembly and disassembly of the cover plate, thus facilitating internal maintenance of the terminal processor.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, a heat dissipation structure for a virtual power plant terminal processor includes a cover plate 1. The cover plate 1 is detachably disposed on the right side of the outer wall of the terminal processor body 2. The terminal processor body 2 is a prior art device, and its model is PMC-1606. The terminal processor body 2 has a processor circuit board 3 inside. An air inlet 4 is provided on the right side of the cover plate 1, and the air inlet 4 gradually decreases in size from right to left. An exhaust vent 5 is provided on the top surface of the terminal processor body 2, and a fan 6 is fixed inside the exhaust vent 5. A guide frame 7 is fixed on the right side of the outer wall of the cover plate 1, and the guide frame 7 gradually decreases in size from right to left.
[0023] During use, when components such as the processor circuit board 3 inside the terminal processor body 2 generate a large amount of heat due to prolonged operation, causing the internal temperature to become too high, the fan 6 is activated. This allows the heat from the processor circuit board 3 and the terminal processor body 2 to be expelled to the external environment through the exhaust port 5. Simultaneously, the relatively cool external air is guided by the negative pressure created by the operation of the fan 6, passing through the guide frame 7 and the air intake port 4 into the interior of the terminal processor body 2. Both the guide frame 7 and the air intake port 4 are tapered channels that gradually decrease in size from right to left. According to the principles of fluid dynamics, as the airflow passes through this tapered channel, the airflow speed increases significantly as the cross-sectional area of the channel decreases. This accelerated airflow can enter the interior of the terminal processor body 2 more quickly and powerfully, directly and efficiently cooling the heat-generating components such as the processor circuit board 3. At the same time, the accelerated airflow can also increase the flow speed of the hot air inside the terminal processor body 2, allowing it to be expelled through the exhaust port 5 more quickly, thus forming an efficient cooling system. The combined use of cover plate 1, air inlet 4, exhaust vent 5, fan 6 and air guide frame 7 facilitates rapid heat dissipation of processor circuit board 3 and terminal processor body 2, improves overall heat dissipation efficiency, ensures that terminal processor body 2 operates within a suitable temperature range, effectively avoids performance degradation or even damage caused by overheating, and improves the reliability and stability of terminal processor body 2.
[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, a cooling box 8 is fixed to the bottom surface of the terminal processor body 2. The top surface of the cooling box 8 is in contact with the bottom surface of the processor circuit board 3. Coolant is provided inside the cooling box 8. A heat sink 9 is fixed to the bottom surface of the cooling box 8. Several heat dissipation holes 10 are opened on the bottom surface of the cooling box 8. Heat sinks 11 are fixed inside the several heat dissipation holes 10 respectively. The top ends of the several heat sinks 11 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the heat sink 9 respectively. The several heat sinks 11 penetrate the bottom surface of the terminal processor body 2 and extend towards the bottom of the terminal processor body 2. Several support columns 12 are fixed to the bottom surface of the terminal processor body 2.
[0025] During use, the coolant in the cooling box 8 cools the bottom of the processor circuit board 3. When the coolant temperature rises, the heat absorbed by the coolant is directed to the heat sink 11 by the heat sink 9, and then the heat is dissipated into the air. The cooperation between the heat sink 11 and the heat sink 9 can continuously cool the coolant, thereby ensuring that the bottom of the processor circuit board 3 always maintains a low temperature, effectively improving the heat dissipation performance of the terminal processor body 2 and extending its service life.
[0026] like Figures 1-3 As shown, several arc-shaped plates 13 are fixed on the inner wall of the terminal processor body 2, and a mounting frame 14 is detachably provided on the right side of the outer wall of the flow guide frame 7. A dustproof net 15 is fixed inside the mounting frame 14.
[0027] During use, the curved plate 13 facilitates smoother airflow through all corners, preventing heat buildup in the internal corners of the terminal processor body 2 and improving heat dissipation efficiency. The combined use of the mounting frame 14 and the dust filter 15 effectively blocks dust and other impurities from entering the interior of the terminal processor body 2, ensuring the device's heat dissipation performance and lifespan.
[0028] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a first magnet 16 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the flow guide frame 7, and a second magnet 17 is fixed to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the mounting frame 14. The two second magnets 17 are magnetically attracted to the two first magnets 16 respectively. A number of threaded grooves 18 are opened on the right side of the outer wall of the terminal processor body 2, and a number of threaded holes 19 are opened on one side of the cover plate 1. Bolts 20 are threadedly connected to the threaded holes 19 respectively, and the threaded ends of the bolts 20 are threadedly connected to the internal threads of the threaded grooves 18 respectively.
[0029] During use, the cooperation of the first magnet 16 and the second magnet 17 facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the mounting frame 14 and the dustproof net 15, making cleaning or replacement easier. The cooperation of the threaded groove 18, the threaded hole 19, and the bolt 20 facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cover plate 1, thereby enabling maintenance of the internal components of the terminal processor body 2.
[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
