Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network equipment technology, and in particular to a quick-release fan and switch. Background Technology

[0002] A switch is a hardware device used in computer networks, primarily for connecting multiple network nodes such as computers, servers, and printers, and for efficiently forwarding and exchanging data frames. It improves network transmission efficiency and performance by identifying the destination address in the data frame and accurately transmitting data to the designated receiving device. Switches support various Ethernet standards and speeds and feature functions such as Virtual LANs (VLANs), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), and Quality of Service (QoS) to enhance network flexibility, reliability, and security. Widely used in LANs, data centers, enterprise networks, and industrial automation, switches are a core component in building modern network infrastructure.

[0003] With the rapid development of data center operations, the demand for data center switches has increased dramatically. The switching capacity, number of ports, and speed of these devices are also constantly increasing, leading to a significant increase in power consumption. To ensure stable operation under high loads, heat dissipation has become a critical issue. As a core component for heat dissipation in data center switches, the performance of fans directly affects the reliability and lifespan of the equipment. Traditional fan installation and removal methods typically involve screw locking, which is complex and inefficient. Especially in high-density data center environments, this design increases maintenance difficulty and time costs. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0032] With the rapid development of data center operations, the demand for data center switches has increased dramatically. The switching capacity, number of ports, and speed of these devices are also constantly increasing, leading to a significant increase in power consumption. To ensure stable operation under high loads, heat dissipation has become a critical issue. As a core component for heat dissipation in data center switches, the performance of fans directly affects the reliability and lifespan of the equipment. Traditional fan installation and removal methods typically involve screw locking, which is complex and inefficient. Especially in high-density data center environments, this design increases maintenance difficulty and time costs.

[0033] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a quick-release fan 100, aiming to provide a cooling fan for switches that can be quickly disassembled and reassembled. Figures 1 to 6 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the quick-release fan 100 of this utility model.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 This utility model proposes a quick-release fan 100, including a fan body 1 and a pull ring structure 2. The fan body 1 has a shell on one side. The pull ring structure 2 includes a pull ring body 21 and a button 22. The pull ring body 21 is disposed on the shell, and the button 22 is slidably disposed on the pull ring body 21. The pull ring body 21 has a deformable part 211. The end of the deformable part 211 away from the pull ring body 21 has a buckle 212 for engaging with the shell of the switch. The button 22 has a first abutting part 221, and the deformable part 211 has a second abutting part 211a. The first abutting part 221 abuts against the second abutting part 211a so that the deformable part 211 deforms.

[0035] The present invention provides a quick-release fan 100 and a switch. The quick-release fan 100 includes a fan body 1 and a pull ring structure 2. A housing is provided on one side of the fan body 1. The pull ring structure 2 includes a pull ring body 21 and a button 22. The pull ring body 21 is disposed within the housing, and the button 22 is slidably disposed on the pull ring body 21. The pull ring body 21 has a deformation portion 211, and a latch 212 is provided at the end of the deformation portion 211 away from the pull ring body 21. Specifically, when disassembling the quick-release fan 100, hold the pull ring structure 2 and use the four inner fingers to forcefully pull inwards. Pressing button 22 causes it to move relative to pull ring body 21 until the first abutting part 221 on button 22 abuts against the second abutting part 211a on deformable part 211. Deformable part 211 deforms under pressure, and latch 212, located at the end of deformable part 211, disengages from card interface 200a on the switch under the action of deformable part 211, thus releasing the fan from the switch. During installation, the fan body 1 is inserted into the mounting cavity and pressed inward to engage latch 212 with card interface 200a, thus completing the installation. By adopting a press-to-release structure, the disassembly and installation process of the fan is simplified, making operation simple, reducing maintenance difficulty, and saving time costs.

[0036] The pull ring structure 2 is U-shaped overall, and the pull ring body 21 and button 22 are also U-shaped to match each other. Bolts 23 are provided at the ends of the two mounting arms 213 of the pull ring body 21 facing away from the first connecting arm 214. These bolts 23 are used to screw the pull ring body 21 to the outer shell of the fan body 1, thus connecting the pull ring body 21 and the fan body 1 as a single unit. The overall U-shape of the pull ring is more in line with user habits, and the U-shaped structure provides good mechanical support, giving the pull ring body 21 higher stability and strength when subjected to external forces, effectively preventing deformation or damage caused by external forces. Secondly, by using bolts 23 on the two mounting arms 213 of the pull ring body 21 to screw into the fan shell, not only is a firm connection between the pull ring and the fan body 1 achieved, but the compactness and reliability of the overall structure are also ensured. Furthermore, the compatibility of the U-shaped structure with the shape of the button 22 allows for a closer fit during assembly, reducing assembly gaps, improving overall aesthetics and assembly precision, while also facilitating production and assembly, reducing manufacturing costs, and improving product durability and service life.

[0037] In the technical solution of this application, since the button 22 slides relative to the pull ring body 21, two mounting arms 213 are provided with limiting tracks 213a facing each other to guide the button 22. The button 22 includes two connected and parallelly spaced power arms 223, each of which is provided with a limiting protrusion 222. Each power arm 223 is slidably limited to a limiting track 213a by the limiting protrusion 222, which can effectively realize the guiding function of the button 22. When the button 22 slides relative to the pull ring body 21, the limiting protrusion 222 slides within the limiting track 213a, ensuring that the movement trajectory of the button 22 is stable and accurate, and preventing the button 22 from deviating or shaking during the sliding process. This guiding structure not only improves the accuracy and reliability of the button 22 operation, but also enhances the user experience, simplifies the assembly process, reduces production costs, and improves the overall performance and service life of the product.

[0038] The pull ring body 21 also includes a first connecting arm 214, which is connected to the two mounting arms 213; the button 22 also includes a second connecting arm 224, which is connected to the two power arms 223; for details, please refer to further reading. Figure 2 An elastic element is provided between the first connecting arm 214 and the second connecting arm 224. This elastic element elastically abuts against the first connecting arm 214 and the second connecting arm 224 respectively, and achieves the reset function of the button 22 through this elastic element. This design has significant advantages. First, the elastic element can provide a stable reset force for the button 22, ensuring that the button 22 can quickly and accurately return to its initial position after being pressed, thereby ensuring the continuity and consistency of operation. Second, the elastic support of the spring 24 can buffer the impact force generated during the operation of the button 22, reducing mechanical wear between the button 22 and the pull ring body 21, and extending the product's service life. Furthermore, this reset mechanism also provides good tactile feedback, improving the user's operating experience, while simplifying the structural design, reducing production costs, and improving the product's reliability and durability.

[0039] To prevent the spring 24 from popping out during compression, the first connecting arm 214 is provided with a fixing post 214a facing the second connecting arm 224. The spring 24 is sleeved on the fixing post 214a, thereby limiting the spring 24. In addition, the fixing post 214a can also limit the button 22. When the button 22 moves to the lowest point, the second connecting arm 224 will abut against the fixing post 214a, thereby limiting the button.

[0040] This utility model also proposes a switch, which includes a switch body 200 and a quick-release fan 100. The switch body 200 is provided with a mounting cavity, and the fan body 1 is disposed in the mounting cavity. The inner side wall of the mounting cavity is provided with a card interface 200a, and the buckle 212 is engaged with the card interface 200a. The specific structure of the quick-release fan 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this switch adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0041] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of the present utility model and the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
