[0003] Currently, existing modular communication devices generally consist of a main frame, module units, and a connection backplane. Module units are installed inside the main frame via slots and connect to unified signal and power interfaces to enable collaborative operation between modules. To ensure equipment stability and shock resistance, modules are typically physically secured using screws, clamps, or latches, and communicate with the system motherboard via internal cables or gold-finger connectors. However, their assembly / disassembly efficiency and maintenance convenience still have certain limitations in some scenarios.

[0004] While existing modular communication devices offer significant advantages in system integration and operational stability, their modular structures are often complex and lack convenient designs for quick assembly and disassembly. Especially when repairing, replacing, or upgrading a module, it typically requires disassembling multiple fasteners, or even removing adjacent modules or the outer casing, resulting in lengthy operations and low on-site maintenance efficiency. This not only increases system downtime but also raises labor costs and maintenance complexity, a problem particularly pronounced in scenarios with high timeliness requirements, such as field deployments or emergency communications.

The heat sink 3 has multiple small holes inside, mainly used to dissipate the heat from the communication module body 2. A second heat dissipation hole 11 is provided inside the heat sink 3. A first heat dissipation pipe 9 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the heat sink 3. The first heat dissipation pipe 9 is made of brass and has the effect of fast heat conduction and dissipation. A second heat dissipation pipe 12 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the heat sink 3. A fan 13 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the first heat dissipation pipe 9. The fan 13 is a Delta type. Electronics, primarily providing high airflow, is highly stable and suitable for continuous operation of communication equipment. The frame 1 has a heat dissipation hole 6 on its top. A fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fan 13, and the fixing block 14 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. A connector 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the communication module body 2, and the outer wall of the communication module body 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 1. A connecting block 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the heat sink 3.

[0027] Working principle: When a modular communication device is needed, the communication module body 2 is first slid securely into the frame 1 via the guide rail structure located at the bottom. The back of the communication module body 2 has a connector 10. During the sliding into the frame 1, this connector automatically aligns with the pre-set communication interface inside the frame 1, establishing a power and signal connection. To further secure the communication module body 2, a quick-release assembly is used for locking. The quick-release assembly includes a quick-release rod 15, a quick-release ring 17, and multiple connecting blocks 19. The quick-release rod 15 passes through the communication module body 2 and the connecting plate 7 with holes inside the frame 1. After insertion, the axial push of the quick-release rod 15 causes the three connecting blocks 19 on its outer wall to move radially... The quick-release rod 15 pops out and firmly presses against the inner wall of the connecting plate 7, thus forming a stable mechanical locking structure. Then, the quick-release ring 17 on the outer wall of the quick-release rod 15 is rotated to fasten it to the connecting plate 7, achieving the effect of quickly fixing the communication module body 2. When the communication block needs to be repaired, replaced or upgraded later, simply rotate the quick-release ring 17 counterclockwise to the loosened position, and then push the quick-release rod 15 horizontally. The connecting block 2 19 automatically retracts into the quick-release rod under the action of the inclined groove on the inner wall. Finally, it can be pulled out completely, thus realizing the quick disassembly of the communication module body 2. This design, which can complete the module replacement without tools and only by manual operation, greatly improves the response efficiency and operability of the equipment in the field deployment, emergency maintenance and other environments.

[0028] Furthermore, if the large amount of heat generated inside the frame 1 is not released in time during long-term continuous operation of the device, it may cause the performance of the communication module body 2 to degrade or even be damaged. To address this, a heat sink 3 is installed between the two communication module bodies 2. The heat sink 3 is made of high thermal conductivity aluminum alloy and has multiple heat dissipation holes 11 evenly distributed inside the plate to facilitate the rapid passage of hot air. Heat dissipation pipes 9 and 12 are respectively installed above and below the communication module bodies 2 to form upper and lower cooling channels, effectively expanding the heat dissipation area. A fan 13 is also installed on the upper surface of the heat dissipation pipe 9. After being powered on, the fan 13 runs continuously, actively drawing in and expelling hot air to improve the overall convective heat transfer efficiency. Under the combined action of the fan 13 and the heat dissipation pipes, the heat is concentrated along the direction of the heat sink 3 and is finally quickly discharged from the heat dissipation hole 6 located on the outer shell of the frame 1, preventing heat from accumulating inside the frame 1 and suppressing temperature rise from the source. This modular thermal management system not only ensures the stability and safety of the device during long-term operation but also effectively extends the service life of each communication block and improves the reliability and high-performance continuous output capability of the overall communication system in complex environments.
