This utility model also relates to a communication device that uses the network card guiding and positioning component. Background Technology

[0002] In the network connection layout of some communication equipment, it is usually necessary to adapt to network expansion cards. Accordingly, the reliable installation and connection of network expansion cards in the corresponding structure of communication equipment determines the overall network connection effect of communication equipment and has a key impact on the actual operating performance of communication equipment.

[0003] Currently, the industry typically uses integrated structures such as matching card slots for installing network expansion cards on communication equipment. However, due to their inherent structural limitations, while these existing conventional arrangements can provide appropriate structural guidance and support for the installation of network expansion cards, their component structures are usually quite complex. In actual installation, they require a large amount of assembly space in the communication equipment, and the corresponding component costs are also high, causing many adverse effects on the installation and use of network expansion cards in communication equipment.

[0004] In view of this, how to optimize the installation method of network expansion cards on communication devices and simplify the corresponding component structure is an important technical problem that needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a network card guiding and positioning component that can reliably guide and install a network expansion card into a communication device, and whose component structure is simple and reliable. Another purpose of this invention is to provide a communication device that uses the aforementioned network card guiding and positioning component.

[0006] To solve the above technical problems, this utility model provides a network card guide and positioning component, including two guide members arranged in parallel and with a clearance fit. Each guide member includes a main board body and a positioning plate arranged vertically at the bottom of the main board body. The main board body is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting surface of the communication device, and the positioning plate is arranged parallel to and fitted to the mounting surface of the communication device. A positioning hole is passed through the middle of the positioning plate, and a positioning screw that can be fixedly connected to the mounting surface of the communication device is inserted into the positioning hole.

[0007] The motherboard body has a guide groove on its side wall facing the other guide member, which allows the side edge of the network expansion card to be inserted and slidably engaged. The extension direction of the guide groove is parallel to the mounting surface on the communication device.

[0008] Preferably, the guide groove includes slotted sections at both ends and a limiting section between the two slotted sections, wherein the width of the slotted section decreases from the end away from the limiting section to the end connected to the limiting section.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the slot section is an arc surface with its center located on the outer side of the slot section.

[0010] Preferably, the main body includes support sections and guide sections arranged alternately along its length;

[0011] The positioning plates are arranged in a corresponding manner at the bottom of the support section;

[0012] The guide grooves are correspondingly protruding on the sidewalls of the guide sections facing the other guide member.

[0013] Preferably, two guide guards are provided on the side wall of the guide segment facing the other guide member, the length direction of the guide guards is consistent with the length direction of the main body, and the two guide guards are respectively located at the top and bottom of the guide segment;

[0014] The two guide plates are fitted with a clearance along the height direction of the main body to form the guide groove with the guide section.

[0015] Preferably, the guide guard plate is integrally bent into the top and bottom ends of the guide section.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom surface of the support section is provided with a positioning support foot.

[0017] Preferably, the positioning support feet and the positioning plate located at the bottom of the same support section are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the main body and are fitted with clearance.

[0018] Preferably, the guide is a one-piece stamped part.

[0019] This utility model also provides a communication device, including a body and a network expansion card, and further including a network card guiding and positioning component disposed on the body and adapted to and connected to the network expansion card, wherein the network card guiding and positioning component is the network card guiding and positioning component as described in any of the above claims.

[0020] Compared to the aforementioned background technology, the network card guiding and positioning component provided by this utility model, during installation, utilizes positioning screws that pass through positioning holes and are threaded onto the mounting surface of the corresponding communication equipment, thus completing the reliable installation of the guiding component. In this way, by symmetrically arranging two guiding components on the mounting surface of the communication equipment, the main structure of the network card guiding and positioning component is installed. During the specific installation operation of the network expansion card, the network expansion card is inserted through one end of the network card guiding and positioning component, positioning it between the two guiding components. This allows the two side edges of the network expansion card to align and insert into the corresponding guiding grooves, and pushes the edges of the network expansion card forward along the extension direction of the guiding grooves until the network expansion card is moved to the target position, completing the alignment and installation of the network expansion card on the corresponding communication equipment. This guide groove provides reliable multi-directional positioning for the network expansion card, allowing it to move forward along the guide groove's extension direction to the target station for installation or backward along the same direction until it is removed from the network card guiding and positioning assembly. This effectively ensures the installation guidance accuracy and assembly efficiency of the network expansion card on the communication equipment. The network card guiding and positioning assembly requires only two positioning components and their matching guide grooves to accurately guide and stably position the network expansion card, significantly reducing the number of components used for guiding and installing network expansion cards on the communication equipment, simplifying the component structure, and correspondingly reducing the overall manufacturing and usage costs of the network card guiding and positioning assembly.

[0021] In another preferred embodiment of this utility model, the guide groove includes slotted sections at both ends and a limiting section between the two slotted sections. The width of the slotted sections decreases from the end furthest from the limiting section to the end connected to the limiting section. The variable width structure of the slotted sections makes the end of the guide groove form a trumpet-shaped structure that is wider at the outside and narrower at the inside, so as to facilitate the insertion of the network expansion card into the guide groove from the end, improve the alignment and insertion accuracy and convenience of the network expansion card and the guide groove, reduce the corresponding insertion and alignment difficulty, and make the alignment and adaptation of the network expansion card and the network card guiding and positioning component and the operation process smoother and more efficient. The installation and placement accuracy and operation efficiency of the network expansion card on the communication equipment are also improved accordingly. Attached Figure Description

[0030] The core of this utility model is to provide a network card guiding and positioning component, which can reliably guide and install a network expansion card into a communication device, and its component structure is simple and reliable; in addition, a communication device using the above-mentioned network card guiding and positioning component is also provided.

[0031] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0032] In a specific implementation, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the network card guiding and positioning assembly provided by this utility model includes two guide members arranged in parallel and with a gap fit. The guide members include a main board body 11 and a positioning plate 12 arranged vertically at the bottom of the main board body 11. The main board body 11 is arranged perpendicularly to the mounting surface 10 on the communication device, and the positioning plate 12 is arranged parallel to and fitted to the mounting surface 10 on the communication device. A positioning hole 121 is passed through the middle of the positioning plate 12, and a positioning screw that can be fixedly connected to the mounting surface 10 of the communication device is inserted in the positioning hole 121.

[0033] The motherboard body 11 has a guide groove 13 on its side wall facing another guide member, which allows the side edge of the network expansion card 101 to be inserted and slidably engaged. The extension direction of the guide groove 13 is parallel to the mounting surface 10 on the communication device.

[0034] During component installation, the guide component is reliably installed by passing the positioning screw through the positioning hole 121 and threading it onto the mounting surface 10 of the corresponding communication equipment. Thus, by symmetrically arranging the two guide components on the mounting surface 10 of the communication equipment, the main structure of the network card guide and positioning component is installed.

[0035] During the specific installation operation of the network expansion card 101, the network expansion card 101 is inserted into one end of the network card guiding and positioning component, positioning it between two guide members. This allows the two side edges of the network expansion card 101 to be aligned and inserted into the corresponding guide grooves 13. The edges of the network expansion card 101 are then pushed forward along the extension direction of the guide groove 13 until the network expansion card 101 is moved to the target position, completing the alignment and installation of the network expansion card 101 on the corresponding communication equipment. The guide groove 13 provides reliable multi-directional limiting for the network expansion card 101, ensuring that the network expansion card 101 can only move forward along the extension direction of the guide groove 13 to the target position to complete the installation, or move backward along the extension direction of the guide groove 13 until it is removed from the network card guiding and positioning component to release the installation. This effectively ensures the installation guidance accuracy and assembly efficiency of the network expansion card 101 on the communication equipment.

[0036] The network card guiding and positioning component only requires two positioning parts and their matching guide grooves 13 to complete the accurate guidance and stable positioning installation of the network expansion card 101, thereby greatly reducing the number of components used for guiding and installing the network expansion card 101 on the communication equipment, simplifying the component structure, and correspondingly reducing the overall manufacturing and usage cost of the network card guiding and positioning component.

[0037] Generally, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the mounting surface 10 of the communication device mentioned in this solution can be the outer surface of the communication device or the supporting surface located inside the communication device. In actual application, it can be adjusted according to the specific working conditions and working environment. In principle, as long as it can meet the actual application needs of the network card guiding and positioning component and ensure the reliable installation and arrangement of the network expansion card 101, it is acceptable.

[0038] Specifically, the guide groove 13 includes slot sections 131 at both ends and a limiting section 132 between the two slot sections 131. The width of the slot section 131 decreases from the end away from the limiting section 132 to the end connected to the limiting section 132. The variable width structure of the slot section 131 makes the end of the guide groove 13 form a flared structure that is wider at the outside and narrower at the inside, so that the network expansion card 101 can be inserted into the guide groove 13 from the end for alignment. This improves the alignment and insertion accuracy and convenience of the network expansion card 101 and the guide groove 13, reduces the corresponding insertion and alignment difficulty, and makes the alignment and adaptation of the network expansion card 101 and the network card guide positioning component and the operation process smoother and more efficient. The installation and placement accuracy and operation efficiency of the network expansion card 101 on the communication equipment are also improved accordingly.

[0039] Correspondingly, the inner wall of the slot section 131 is an arc surface with its center located on the outer side of the slot section 131. This creates an arc-shaped extension structure on the inner wall of the slot section 131 that arches into the guide groove 13, as shown in the figure. This further optimizes the fitting method when the network expansion card 101 is inserted into the end of the guide groove 13, avoiding rigid contact or structural impact between the slot section 131 and the edge of the network expansion card 101. This prevents structural damage to the network expansion card 101 during installation with the network card guide and positioning assembly, ensuring reliable operation of the network expansion card 101 after installation.

[0040] Furthermore, the mainboard body 11 includes support sections 111 and guide sections 112 arranged alternately along its length; positioning plates 12 are correspondingly positioned at the bottom of the support sections 111; guide grooves 13 are correspondingly protruding from the sidewalls of the guide sections 112 facing another guide member. The support sections 111 are typically plate-shaped structures arranged perpendicular to the mounting surface 10 of the communication equipment, so as to be arranged perpendicularly to the positioning plates 12 and cooperate with them to provide reliable structural support for the guide sections 112 and the network expansion cards 101 connected thereto, ensuring the structural strength and stability of the mainboard body 11. The guide sections 112 are elongated strip-shaped structures extending along the length of the guide member, so as to better adapt to the extended structure of the guide grooves 13, ensuring the tracking and guiding accuracy of the network expansion cards 101 inserted in the guide grooves 13 when moving along the guide grooves 13.

[0041] Furthermore, two guide plates 113 protrude from the side wall of the guide segment 112 facing the other guide member. The length direction of the guide plates 113 is consistent with the length direction of the main body 11, and the two guide plates 113 are located at the top and bottom ends of the guide segment 112, respectively. The two guide plates 113 are fitted with a clearance along the height direction of the main body 11 to form a guide groove 13 with the guide segment 112. The two guide plates 113 located on the same guide groove 13 can provide reliable structural support and stable structural limitation for the top and bottom surfaces of the network expansion card 101 inserted into the guide groove 13, so as to further ensure the movement tracking and guiding accuracy of the network expansion card 101 in the guide groove 13, and ensure that the network expansion card 101 can move smoothly and accurately along the guide groove 13 to the target position to complete the installation.

[0042] Based on this, the guide plate 113 is integrally bent and formed at the top and bottom of the guide section 112. In this way, the structural integration between the guide plate 113 and the main structure of the guide section 112 can be further improved, the overall structural strength of the guide component can be optimized, and the overall extension structure of the guide component can be made more compact and smooth. Correspondingly, the overall processing and forming of the guide component is also more convenient and efficient.

[0043] On the other hand, a positioning support foot 114 is provided on the bottom surface of the support section 111. The positioning support foot 114 can reliably support the mounting surface 10 of the communication equipment, thereby providing reliable structural support for the support section 111 and even the overall structure of the guide component, so that the main structure of the guide component can be stably arranged on the mounting surface 10 of the communication equipment, and the matching structure and guiding movement of the corresponding network expansion card 101 when it is adapted to the guide component are more stable and reliable.

[0044] More specifically, the positioning support feet 114 and positioning plates 12 located at the bottom of the same support section 111 are arranged sequentially along the length of the main body 11 and are fitted with clearance. In this way, the positioning support feet 114 and positioning plates 12 arranged at the bottom of the same support section 111 cooperate to form a double-point support for the support section 111, thereby further improving the structural stability of the support section 111 and making the overall installation structure of the guide component more stable and reliable.

[0045] In addition, the guide component is a one-piece stamped part. The stamping process has high processing efficiency, which can significantly improve the manufacturing efficiency of the guide component. Moreover, the overall structural strength of the guide component after one-piece molding is higher, the structural consistency is better, and the stress resistance after installation is also more ideal, thus meeting the assembly and use requirements of the network card guide positioning component under different working conditions.

[0046] Generally, the geometric center of the gap between the two guide members of the network card guiding and positioning assembly is a symmetrical point. Therefore, the two guide members are symmetrical about this symmetrical point. Thus, during manufacturing, only a single specification of guide member needs to be manufactured, and the two guide members can be symmetrically arranged on the mounting surface 10 of the communication equipment to achieve the main structural arrangement of the network card guiding and positioning assembly. This further reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the network card guiding and positioning assembly components, reduces the types of parts required for assembly, and makes the material preparation and assembly of the network card guiding and positioning assembly simpler and more efficient, thereby further reducing the corresponding component manufacturing and usage costs.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the communication device provided by this utility model refers to... Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a main body and a network expansion card 101, and also includes a network card guiding and positioning component disposed on the main body and adapted to connect with the network expansion card 101. The network card guiding and positioning component is the network card guiding and positioning component as described above. The network card guiding and positioning component of this communication device can reliably guide and install the network expansion card 101 into the communication device, and its component structure is simple and reliable.

[0048] In summary, the network card guiding and positioning component provided in this utility model, during operation, controls the bracket to move horizontally along the guide rail to an appropriate position. Then, the control position adjustment mechanism extends moderately in the horizontal direction, causing each nozzle to move synchronously with the position adjustment mechanism until the nozzles on the position adjustment mechanism reach the corresponding positions that mate with the convection heating surface. Water can then be supplied to each nozzle through the water supply component, allowing the water jets from each nozzle to rinse the corresponding positions of the convection heating surface of the furnace body. During the rinsing operation, the bracket and position adjustment mechanism can still be controlled to move moderately in the horizontal direction so that the nozzles can synchronously move to hard-to-clean areas such as the gaps between heat exchange tubes on the convection heating surface, thereby thoroughly rinsing all positions of the convection heating surface, including the gaps between heat exchange tubes, and completely removing the accumulated ash adhering to the convection heating surface using clean water. After the rinsing operation is completed, the water supply to each nozzle is stopped, and the position adjustment mechanism can be retracted horizontally. Each nozzle will then reset synchronously with the position adjustment mechanism. The support frame, connected to the position adjustment mechanism and nozzles, can then be moved synchronously to the next working position. Repeating the rinsing process completes the cleaning of accumulated dust at the next working position. The network card guiding and positioning component utilizes water flow to rinse the accumulated dust adhering to the convection heat exchange surface of the communication equipment, significantly improving the dust cleaning efficiency. It can effectively remove dust adhering to structural dead corners that are difficult to clean using conventional methods, such as the gaps between heat exchange tubes. This significantly optimizes the dust cleaning effect on the convection heat exchange surface of the communication equipment, enabling the heat exchange tubes and other functional components of the communication equipment to operate stably and efficiently, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency and the overall operating efficiency of the communication equipment.

[0049] This utility model also provides a communication device, whose network card guiding and positioning component can reliably guide and install the network expansion card into the communication device, and its component structure is simple and reliable.

The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of ​​this utility model.
