Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of switch technology, and in particular to a switch housing and a switch. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing digital age, network communication technology, as the cornerstone of information transmission, is undeniably crucial. Switches, as key devices in network communication, undertake the core tasks of data exchange and transmission, and are widely used in various network scenarios, such as enterprise LANs, data centers, and communication base stations. With the continuous growth of network traffic and the increasing demands for data transmission, switches need to possess higher performance and more stable operation capabilities, posing a significant challenge to their heat dissipation design.

[0003] To ensure stable performance of switches during prolonged high-load operation and avoid equipment failure, data loss, or performance degradation due to overheating, the industry commonly employs heat dissipation structures to enhance the heat dissipation efficiency of switches. Among these, finned heat dissipation structures have become a common solution in switch heat dissipation design due to their advantages such as simple structure, good heat dissipation effect, and relatively low cost.

[0004] Traditional switch fin heat dissipation structures typically employ a design that protrudes from the switch casing. This design can, to some extent, increase the heat dissipation area and promote heat dissipation. However, in actual packaging, transportation, and use, this protruding fin structure has revealed a series of problems that urgently need to be addressed.

[0005] During packaging and transportation, because the fins protrude from the switch's outer casing, their protruding structure is prone to scratching and collisions with the plastic and paper packaging surrounding the switch. During transport, bumps, vibrations, and the squeezing action between goods can easily damage the packaging materials, leading to packaging breakage. This not only affects the product's appearance but may also expose the switch to external environmental factors during transport, such as dust and moisture, thus reducing product reliability and lifespan. Furthermore, damaged packaging can trigger logistics disputes, increasing operating costs and management complexity for businesses. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a switch housing and a switch, which can solve the problems of the protruding fin structure damaging the outer packaging during packaging and transportation and the fins being prone to deformation.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its problem is:

[0008] A switch housing includes a casing, the bottom of which is provided with a heat dissipation groove, and a plurality of fins are provided in the heat dissipation groove, wherein the dimension of all the fins along the groove depth direction is less than or equal to the groove depth dimension of the heat dissipation groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the housing includes a first plate, a second plate, a third plate, a fourth plate, a fifth plate, and a sixth plate. The second plate, the third plate, and the fourth plate are sequentially connected and integrally formed. The second plate and the fourth plate are both bent in the same direction relative to the third plate to form a through groove structure. The fifth plate and the sixth plate are integrally formed, and the fifth plate is bent relative to the sixth plate. The first plate is located at one end of the through groove, the sixth plate is located at the other end of the through groove, and the fifth plate is located at the opening of the through groove. The heat dissipation groove and all the fins are located on the third plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the second plate has a first groove at the end away from the third plate, the fourth plate has a second groove at the end away from the third plate, the fifth plate slides in the first groove at the end near the second plate, and the fifth plate slides in the second groove at the end near the fourth plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the fifth plate is provided with a first slide bar on the side facing the first slide groove, and the first slide bar slides in the first slide groove. The fifth plate is provided with a second slide bar on the side facing the second slide groove, and the second slide bar slides in the second slide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the sidewall of the fin is provided with a protrusion and / or a groove, both of which are arranged along the length direction of the fin.

[0013] Furthermore, the convex strip and / or the groove are provided with multiple strips.

[0014] Furthermore, the sixth plate has a first connecting hole at the end away from the fifth plate for connecting with the third plate.

[0015] Furthermore, the fifth plate has a connecting lug at the end away from the sixth plate, and the connecting lug has a second connecting hole for connecting with the first plate. The first plate has a third connecting hole for connecting with the third plate.

[0016] Furthermore, the third plate is provided with mounting grooves on both the side facing the first plate and the side facing the sixth plate, so that when the first plate is attached to the third plate, the end face of the first plate is flush with the end face of the through groove, and when the sixth plate is attached to the third plate, the end face of the sixth plate is flush with the end face of the through groove.

[0017] Furthermore, the second plate is perpendicular to the third plate, and the third plate is perpendicular to the fourth plate.

[0018] A switch, comprising the switch housing described above.

[0019] In summary, the switch housing and switch provided by this utility model have the following technical effects:

[0020] 1. By setting the fins in the heat dissipation grooves at the bottom of the housing and ensuring that the fin dimensions along the groove depth are less than or equal to the groove depth, the fins are effectively prevented from protruding from the switch housing. As a result, the fins will not scratch or collide with the packaging materials during packaging and transportation, reducing the risk of packaging damage and improving the product's appearance integrity and reliability.

[0021] 2. Because the fins are housed within the heat dissipation slots and protected by the casing, deformation caused by external impacts or compression during transportation and use is reduced. Especially when the fins are located at the bottom of the switch, this structure also prevents instability caused by fin deformation, ensuring the stability of the switch during use.

[0028] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described and discussed below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, what is described here is only a part of the examples of this invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the protection scope of this invention.

[0029] To facilitate understanding of the embodiments of this utility model, further explanations and descriptions will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. These embodiments do not constitute a limitation on the embodiments of this utility model.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0032] See Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a switch housing, including a housing 1, a heat dissipation groove 131 at the bottom of the housing 1, and a plurality of fins 2 inside the heat dissipation groove 131. The dimensions of all the fins 2 along the groove depth direction of the heat dissipation groove 131 are less than or equal to the groove depth dimension of the heat dissipation groove 131.

[0033] Specifically, the bottom of the shell 1 is provided with a heat dissipation groove 131, and a number of fins 2 are provided in the heat dissipation groove 131. The storage length of all fins 2 along the groove depth direction of the heat dissipation groove 131 is less than or equal to the groove depth dimension of the heat dissipation groove 131. That is, all fins 2 do not protrude from the heat dissipation groove 131. Therefore, during packaging and transportation, it is not necessary to wrap the fins 2 with additional support structures such as foam boards. Correspondingly, it is no longer necessary to increase the volume of a single piece by setting up a wrapping structure for the fins 2. This greatly reduces packaging and transportation costs. Especially in export trade, within the fixed volume of a container, the product volume is reduced, allowing for one or even multiple layers to be packed, which greatly reduces trade costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, the housing 1 includes a first plate 11, a second plate 12, a third plate 13, a fourth plate 14, a fifth plate 15, and a sixth plate 16. The second plate 12, the third plate 13, and the fourth plate 14 are sequentially connected and integrally formed. The second plate 12 and the fourth plate 14 are both bent in the same direction relative to the third plate 13 to form a through groove 101 structure. The fifth plate 15 and the sixth plate 16 are integrally formed. The fifth plate 15 is bent relative to the sixth plate 16. The first plate 11 is located at one end of the through groove 101, the sixth plate 16 is located at the other end of the through groove 101, and the fifth plate 15 is located at the opening of the through groove 101. The heat dissipation groove 131 and all the fins 2 are located on the third plate 13.

[0035] Specifically, the shell 1 includes a first plate 11, a second plate 12, a third plate 13, a fourth plate 14, a fifth plate 15, and a sixth plate 16. The second plate 12, the third plate 13, and the fourth plate 14 are sequentially connected and integrally formed. The second plate 12 and the fourth plate 14 are both bent in the same direction relative to the third plate 13 to form a through groove 101 structure, which can be U-shaped. The fifth plate 15 and the sixth plate 16 are integrally formed. The fifth plate 15 is bent relative to the sixth plate 16, which can be L-shaped. The first plate 11 is located at one end of the through groove 101, the sixth plate 16 is located at the other end of the through groove 101, and the fifth plate 15 is located at the opening of the through groove 101. The heat dissipation groove 131 and all the fins 2 are located on the third plate 13. Through the above structure, the corresponding assembly of the first plate 11, the second plate 12, the third plate 13, the fourth plate 14, the fifth plate 15, and the sixth plate 16 constitutes a complete shell 1, so that circuit boards and other components can be assembled inside the shell 1. More importantly, the integral molding of the second plate 12, the third plate 13, and the fourth plate 14, and the integral molding of the fifth plate 15 and the sixth plate 16, simplifies the assembly process during the assembly of the shell 1 and also reduces the number of screws used.

[0036] In some embodiments, the second plate 12 is provided with a first groove 121 at the end away from the third plate 13, the fourth plate 14 is provided with a second groove 141 at the end away from the third plate 13, the fifth plate 15 is slidably disposed in the first groove 121 at the end near the second plate 12, and the fifth plate 15 is slidably disposed in the second groove 141 at the end near the fourth plate 14.

[0037] Specifically, the first slide groove 121 is located at the end of the second plate 12 away from the third plate 13, and the second slide groove 141 is located at the end of the fourth plate 14 away from the third plate 13, parallel to the first slide groove 121 to ensure smooth sliding. The end of the fifth plate 15 near the second plate 12 has a rectangular, T-shaped, or dovetail shape (depending on sliding stability requirements), perfectly matching the shape of the first slide groove 121 to prevent lateral displacement. The end of the fifth plate 15 near the fourth plate 14 has a shape corresponding to the second slide groove 141. The two ends of the fifth plate 15 slide along the axial direction of the first slide groove 121 and the second slide groove 141 respectively, achieving linear displacement. This effectively improves the assembly speed of the second plate 12, third plate 13, fourth plate 14, fifth plate 15, and sixth plate 16, and eliminates the need for screws or other fixing structures at the connection between the fifth plate 15 and the second and fourth plates 14, simplifying the assembly steps and improving assembly efficiency.

[0038] Optionally, the fifth plate 15 has a first slide bar 151 at the end that contacts the first slide groove 121, and the first slide bar 151 slides within the first slide groove 121 to improve the stability of the sliding connection between the fifth plate 15 and the first slide groove 121. Similarly, the fifth plate 15 has a second slide bar 152 at the end that contacts the second slide groove 141, and the second slide bar 152 slides within the second slide groove 141 to improve the stability of the sliding connection between the fifth plate 15 and the second slide groove 141.

[0039] In some embodiments, in order to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the fin 2, the sidewall of the fin 2 is provided with a protrusion and / or a groove 21, both of which are arranged along the length direction of the fin 2.

[0040] Specifically, the sidewall of the fin 2 is provided with protrusions and / or grooves 21. Both the protrusions and grooves 21 are arranged along the length of the fin 2, which can increase the contact area between the fin 2 and the air, thereby increasing the heat dissipation area. According to the basic principles of heat conduction and convection heat transfer, the larger the heat dissipation area, the more heat can be transferred per unit time under the same temperature difference and heat transfer coefficient, thereby effectively improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0041] Furthermore, the ridges and / or grooves 21 are provided in multiple forms.

[0042] Specifically, in order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of fin 2, multiple ridges and / or grooves 21 are provided on fin 2, thereby increasing the contact area between fin 2 and air.

[0043] In some embodiments, the sixth plate 16 has a first connection hole 161 at the end away from the fifth plate 15 for connection with the third plate 13.

[0044] Specifically, a first connecting hole 161 is provided at the end of the sixth plate 16 away from the fifth plate 15. Since the fifth plate 15 has been initially fixed through the cooperation structure of the first sliding groove 121 and the second sliding groove 141, the end of the sixth plate 16 connected to the fifth plate 15 is also fixed based on the initial fixation of the fifth plate 15. At this time, it is only necessary to pass a screw through the first connecting hole 161 to connect with the third plate 13, so as to complete the fixed connection of the five plates of the second plate 12, the third plate 13, the fourth plate 14, the fifth plate 15 and the sixth plate 16, which greatly improves the convenience of assembling the housing 1.

[0045] In some embodiments, the fifth plate 15 is provided with a connecting ear 153 at the end away from the sixth plate 16, and the connecting ear 153 is provided with a second connecting hole 1531 for connecting with the first plate 11. The first plate 11 is provided with a third connecting hole 111 for connecting with the third plate 13.

[0046] Specifically, the fifth plate 15 is provided with a connecting ear 153 at the end away from the sixth plate 16. The connecting ear 153 is provided with a second connecting hole 1531. The first plate 11 is provided with a third connecting hole 111 for connecting with the third plate 13. The second connecting hole 1531 corresponds to the third connecting hole 111. The upper end of the first plate 11 is fixed to the fifth plate 15 by passing a screw through the second connecting hole 1531 and the third connecting hole 111.

[0047] Alternatively, to further improve the stability of the first plate 11, a through hole is also provided at the lower end of the first plate 11 for fixing the lower end of the first plate 11 to the third plate 13, thereby improving the fixing effect.

[0048] In some embodiments, the third plate 13 is provided with mounting grooves 132 on both the side facing the first plate 11 and the side facing the sixth plate 16, so that when the first plate 11 and the third plate 13 are attached, the end face of the first plate 11 is flush with the end face of the through groove 101, and when the sixth plate 16 and the third plate 13 are attached, the end face of the sixth plate 16 is flush with the end face of the through groove 101.

[0049] Specifically, the third plate 13 has mounting grooves 132 on both the side facing the first plate 11 and the side facing the sixth plate 16, so that when the first plate 11 is fitted with the third plate 13, the end face of the first plate 11 is flush with the end face of the through groove 101, and when the sixth plate 16 is fitted with the third plate 13, the end face of the sixth plate 16 is flush with the end face of the through groove 101. That is, both the first plate 11 and the sixth plate 16 are embedded in the through groove 101 for assembly, thereby further improving the integrity of the housing 1.

[0050] A switch includes the aforementioned switch housing. By employing the aforementioned switch housing, the influence of the fins 2 during the packaging and transportation of the switch can be effectively prevented, and the assembly of the entire switch can be facilitated, improving production efficiency.

[0051] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
