Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial control computer chassis heat dissipation technology, specifically an industrial control computer with a concealed heat dissipation structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of industrial automation, the heat dissipation performance and reliability of industrial control computers directly affect the operational stability of equipment in harsh environments. Traditional heat dissipation solutions often adopt a combination of exposed heat sink fins and independent protective mesh. While this can meet basic heat dissipation requirements, in practical applications, it often presents the problem of not being able to effectively balance heat dissipation, dust prevention, aesthetics, and size proportions simultaneously.
[0003] A utility model patent for a heat dissipation device for an industrial control computer has been published on the China Patent Website. The patent's authorization announcement number is CN221960496U, and the application date is December 18, 2023. The device includes a main unit housing. A first connecting seat is located at the top of the main unit housing, and a second connecting seat is located at the top of the main unit housing on the other side. Both the first and second connecting seats have an L-shaped groove on their surfaces. A sliding block is slidably connected within each of the two grooves. A rotating shaft is rotatably connected between the two sliding blocks. A cleaning roller is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft. A gear is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the rotating shaft and on one side of the cleaning roller. A rack is located at the top of the main unit housing below the gear. Through the cooperation of the gear and the sliding blocks, the cleaning roller rolls while moving along the rack on the surface of the top filter screen, thereby cleaning the dust clogging the surface of the top filter screen. However, the dust removal and filtration structure located on the top of the main unit casing makes the overall size and structure less compact and smaller, and the appearance is rather obtrusive and lacks aesthetic appeal. The heat dissipation structure is also just a relatively simple cooling fan.
[0004] Therefore, a high-performance industrial control computer with a concealed heat dissipation structure is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the limitations of existing industrial computer heat dissipation structures, the technical problem to be solved is to provide an industrial computer with good overall performance and a concealed heat dissipation structure.
[0006] The technical solution is as follows: An industrial control computer with a concealed heat dissipation structure includes a chassis body, a heat-conducting substrate, a fixing bracket, and a cooling fan. It also includes a composite heat dissipation module and a protective structure. The composite heat dissipation module is provided on the upper side of the heat-conducting substrate. The composite heat dissipation module includes vertical heat dissipation fins of equal height and long heat dissipation fins with gradually varying heights. The vertical heat dissipation fins are evenly distributed in the middle of the heat-conducting substrate, and the long heat dissipation fins are evenly distributed on both sides of the heat-conducting substrate. A protective structure is installed on the upper part of the chassis body, and the protective structure is arranged correspondingly to the vertical heat dissipation fins and the long heat dissipation fins, forming a heat dissipation structure with a concealed viewing angle.
[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the protective structure includes a protective cover plate, short heat dissipation fins and reinforcing ribs. The protective cover plate is installed on the upper part of the chassis body by the screws, and the lower surface of the protective cover plate forms a planar contact with the top of the vertical heat dissipation fins. Short heat dissipation fins with stepped and gradually changing height are evenly distributed on the upper side of the protective cover plate, and reinforcing ribs are provided on the lower side of the middle part of the protective cover plate.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper ends of both the long and short heat dissipation fins are designed with the same bending angle facing the same side, and the lower ends of both the long and short heat dissipation fins are designed with a vertical structure. The vertical structure at the lower end of the short heat dissipation fin corresponds one-to-one with the vertical heat dissipation fin. Combining the short heat dissipation fin with the vertical heat dissipation fin can form a hidden heat dissipation structure that is consistent with the shape of the long heat dissipation fin group.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a sunken heat dissipation chamber is provided in the middle of the thermally conductive substrate, and the heat dissipation fan is hidden and housed in the heat dissipation chamber.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, symmetrical ventilation holes are provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the chassis body, and the ventilation holes are connected to the heat dissipation channel between the vertical heat dissipation fins.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, it also includes copper pipes and copper plates. Copper pipes and copper plates are respectively embedded in the bottom of the heat-conducting substrate, and the copper plates wrap around the copper pipes.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a fixing plate is also included. The fixing plate is installed on the rear side of the chassis body by screws, and positioning slots and gourd-shaped holes are respectively opened on the left and right sides of the fixing plate.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This industrial control computer integrates concealment, high efficiency, protection, and aesthetics. By adopting a sunken heat dissipation chamber with an embedded cooling fan, combined with a combination of vertical heat dissipation fins and stepped, gradually changing long and short heat dissipation fins, a multi-directional circulating airflow is formed, achieving efficient heat conduction within a compact space. The unidirectional bending design at the top of the long and short fins cleverly conceals the heat dissipation channels, ensuring smooth airflow while preventing dust intrusion. Furthermore, the modular and compact design of the entire machine significantly reduces its height, making it suitable for confined industrial environments. In terms of appearance, the seamless connection between the protective components and the heat dissipation module presents a simple and smooth hidden visual profile, eliminating exposed parts while meeting industrial aesthetic requirements, and has broad application value.

Detailed Implementation
[0023] To make the technical problems solved by this utility model, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved clearer, this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and not for limiting it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts related to this utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings, not all of them.
[0024] Example: This utility model provides an industrial control computer with a concealed heat dissipation structure, such as... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the system includes a chassis body 1, a thermally conductive substrate 3, a mounting bracket 4, a cooling fan 40, a composite heat dissipation module, and a protective structure. The thermally conductive substrate 3 is mounted on the upper side of the chassis body 1 with screws 11. A recessed heat dissipation chamber 31 is formed in the middle of the thermally conductive substrate 3. The mounting bracket 4 is mounted on the bottom of the heat dissipation chamber 31 through a positioning groove 33. The cooling fan 40 is mounted on the mounting bracket 4 and is concealed within the heat dissipation chamber 31, which helps to significantly reduce the size of the entire machine, thus achieving both concealment and compact structure. A composite heat dissipation module is provided on the upper side of the thermally conductive substrate 3. The composite heat dissipation module includes vertical heat dissipation fins 30 of equal height and long heat dissipation fins 32 with gradually varying heights. The vertical heat dissipation fins 30 are evenly distributed in the middle of the thermally conductive substrate 3, and the long heat dissipation fins 32 are evenly distributed on both sides of the thermally conductive substrate 3. A protective structure is installed on the upper part of the chassis body 1, and the protective structure is arranged correspondingly to the vertical heat dissipation fins 30 and the long heat dissipation fins 32, forming a heat dissipation structure with a concealed viewing angle.
[0025] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, the protective structure includes a protective cover plate 5, short heat dissipation fins 50, and reinforcing ribs 51. The protective cover plate 5 is installed on the upper part of the chassis body 1 by screws 11, and the lower surface of the protective cover plate 5 forms a planar contact with the top of the vertical heat dissipation fins 30. After the protective cover plate 5 and the short heat dissipation fins 50 are disassembled as a whole, it is convenient to clean and replace the cooling fan 40. Short heat dissipation fins 50 with a stepped and gradually changing height are evenly distributed on the upper side of the protective cover plate 5, and reinforcing ribs 51 are provided on the lower side of the middle part of the protective cover plate 5. Among them, the upper ends of the long heat dissipation fins 32 and the short heat dissipation fins 50 are both designed with the same bending structure on the same side, and the lower ends of the long heat dissipation fins 32 and the short heat dissipation fins 50 are bent at the same angle. All components feature a vertical structure design, with the vertical structure at the lower end of the short heat dissipation fins 50 corresponding one-to-one with the vertical heat dissipation fins 30. Combining the short heat dissipation fins 50 with the vertical heat dissipation fins 30 forms a hidden heat dissipation structure that matches the shape of the long heat dissipation fins 32. This not only facilitates multi-directional airflow but also provides dust protection. Furthermore, symmetrical ventilation holes 10 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper part of the chassis body 1, and the ventilation holes 10 are connected to the heat dissipation channels between the vertical heat dissipation fins 30. This facilitates the formation of a multi-directional airflow three-dimensional heat dissipation system by cooperating with the heat dissipation channels between the heat dissipation fins, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the machine.
[0026] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, it also includes copper pipes 34 and copper plates 35. Copper pipes 34 and copper plates 35 are embedded in the bottom of the heat-conducting substrate 3, and the copper plates 35 wrap around the copper pipes 34. The copper pipes 34 and copper plates 35 are located inside the chassis body 1, which can accelerate the distribution of heat to the heat-conducting substrate 3, thereby improving the heat conduction performance. In addition, single or dual cooling fans 40 can be flexibly set according to different heat dissipation requirements, making the application range wider.
[0027] In addition, such as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, it also includes a fixing plate 2, which is installed on the rear side of the chassis body 1 by screws 11. The fixing plate 2 has positioning slots 20 and gourd-shaped holes 21 on the left and right sides respectively, which is conducive to the vertical installation of the whole, which not only facilitates wiring, but also supports the installation of guide rails, making it easy to use. In addition, the whole can be stably and conveniently picked up and put away through the ventilation holes 10 on the left and right sides during installation, making assembly convenient.
[0028] In terms of heat dissipation, this industrial PC achieves concealed heat dissipation by embedding the cooling fan 40 within the sunken heat dissipation chamber 31, effectively preventing dust accumulation. Simultaneously, the combined layout of vertical heat dissipation fins 30 with stepped, gradually changing long and short heat dissipation fins 32 and 50 creates a multi-directional airflow circulation path, facilitating efficient heat conduction and diffusion within a limited space. Regarding size, the compact design significantly reduces the overall height of the industrial PC, making it thinner and lighter, suitable for space-constrained industrial deployments. In terms of appearance, the modular design of the composite heat dissipation module and protective components... The ingenious design creates a clean and smooth visual profile, with no protruding external parts and a seamless connection between the heat dissipation opening and the protective cover 5. It also offers a unique hidden perspective when viewed from multiple angles, balancing industrial aesthetics and functional requirements. In terms of dust prevention, the structure design of the long heat dissipation fins 32 and the short heat dissipation fins 50 with the same bending angle on the same side allows the bent part at the top to block the heat dissipation channels between adjacent heat dissipation fins. This effectively prevents dust intrusion while ensuring normal ventilation and heat dissipation. This not only ensures smooth airflow but also significantly reduces the risk of internal dust accumulation, thus helping to ensure the long-term stable operation of this industrial control computer in harsh industrial environments.
[0029] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments do not limit the present invention in any way, and all technical solutions obtained by means of equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
