[0030] To make the utility model's objectives, features, and advantages more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component centrally located at the same time.

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] This utility model embodiment provides a dustproof edge computer, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes: a computer casing 10, a first heat dissipation component 20 and a second heat dissipation component 30, and a motherboard 40 and a graphics card 50 connected to the motherboard 40 are installed inside the computer casing 10.

[0034] The first heat dissipation component 20 and the second heat dissipation component 30 are respectively connected to the computer housing 10. The first heat dissipation component 20 is located at the top of the computer housing 10 and is used to ventilate and dissipate heat on the motherboard 40. The second heat dissipation component 30 is used to ventilate and dissipate heat on the graphics card 50. The computer housing 10 has a second air inlet 111 and a second air outlet 151.

[0035] A dustproof cotton 60 and a dustproof bracket 70 are installed at the second air inlet 111. The dustproof bracket 70 fixes the dustproof cotton 60 inside the computer casing 10 with screws. A square-shaped second dustproof pad 90 is installed at the second air outlet 151. In this embodiment, the motherboard 40 and the graphics card 50 are well-known structures in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] It should be noted that the dustproof edge computer provided by this utility model specifically includes a computer casing 10, a first heat dissipation component 20, and a second heat dissipation component 30. A motherboard 40 and a graphics card 50 connected to the motherboard 40 are installed inside the computer casing 10. Since the first heat dissipation component 20 is located at the top of the computer casing 10, it can effectively ventilate and dissipate heat from the motherboard 40. The second heat dissipation component 30 is specifically used for dissipating heat from the graphics card 50, achieving targeted heat dissipation for the motherboard 40 and graphics card 50, reducing the overall temperature, and ensuring that the computer can still operate normally under high load. Since both the dustproof cotton 60 and the second dustproof pad 90 serve a dustproof function, they can effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the computer, reducing the risk of internal components being contaminated by dust, improving the long-term stability and reliability of the device, making this edge computer particularly suitable for operation in dusty or harsh environments, meeting the needs of different scenarios. Therefore, this utility model solves the technical problem of edge computers having a single heat dissipation channel and poor heat dissipation effect.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the computer casing 10 includes a bottom cover 11, on which a first side plate 12, a second side plate 13, a third side plate 14, and a fourth side plate 15 are sequentially connected end to end. A second air inlet 111 is disposed on the bottom cover 11, and a dustproof bracket 70 is fastened to the bottom cover 11 by screws. A second air outlet 151 is disposed on the fourth side plate 15. In this embodiment, the first side plate 12, the second side plate 13, the third side plate 14, and the fourth side plate 15 are all fastened together by screws.

[0038] It should be noted that the reasonable configuration of the second air inlet 111 and the second air outlet 151 allows air to flow in from the bottom, forming a smooth airflow channel from the bottom to the side, improving heat dissipation efficiency and effectively reducing the internal temperature of the computer. The fixed connection of the dustproof cotton 60 ensures that it is not easily detached, and also facilitates regular replacement and maintenance, which is especially important for using computers in environments where dust easily accumulates.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the first heat dissipation assembly 20 includes a heat dissipation shell 21, on which a first cooling fan 22 electrically connected to the motherboard 40 is mounted. The heat dissipation shell 21 is fixedly connected to the motherboard 40 by copper pillars, and a baffle plate 23 is mounted on the heat dissipation shell 21. The heat dissipation shell 21 has several first air inlets 211, and the baffle plate 23 has several first air outlets 231. In this embodiment, thermal grease is coated on the motherboard 40, and the thermal grease is in close contact with the heat dissipation shell 21. The heat dissipation shell 21 absorbs the heat emitted by the motherboard 40, and the operation of the first cooling fan 22 drives airflow, dissipating the heat of the heat dissipation shell 21 to the external space.

[0040] It should be noted that the combination of the heat sink 21 and the first cooling fan 22 makes the entire cooling system more efficient. By combining active and passive cooling, the temperature of the motherboard 40 is significantly reduced, ensuring its stable operation under high load. The design of the baffle 23 effectively guides the airflow direction, making it easier for cool air to enter the heat dissipation area and drive heat out quickly, thereby improving the overall effect of the cooling system.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the second heat dissipation assembly 30 includes a heatsink 31 and a second cooling fan 32. The heatsink 31 is securely connected to the graphics card 50 via a back clip 33 and screws. The heatsink 31 is fixed to the copper pillars of the motherboard 40 by screws. A fan bracket 34 for mounting the second cooling fan 32 is provided on the back of the motherboard 40. A first dustproof pad 80 arranged in a ring is adhered to the second cooling fan 32. Several filler pads 35 are installed on the heatsink 31 and are adhered to the inner wall of the computer casing 10. Specifically, the filler pads 35 are adhered to the inner wall of the bottom cover 11, and the number of filler pads 35 is set to four.

[0042] It should be noted that the effective fixing method of the heatsink 31 ensures good thermal contact with the graphics card 50. Combined with the active exhaust of the second cooling fan 32, the temperature of the graphics card 50 can be quickly reduced, achieving efficient heat dissipation. The back clip 33 and screws ensure that the heatsink 31 is not easily loosened during operation, increasing the overall stability and heat dissipation performance of the system. The first dustproof pad 80 is used to protect the second cooling fan 32 from dust intrusion, effectively preventing dust from entering, maintaining the normal operation of the cooling fan, and reducing maintenance frequency. The padding pad 35 not only improves heat dissipation efficiency but also helps reduce vibration and noise, enhancing the user experience.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, the motherboard 40 is equipped with a connector 41 for connecting and fixing the graphics card 50. The high-quality connector 41 secures the graphics card 50 to the motherboard 40, preventing poor contact due to vibration during operation and improving the stability and reliability of the graphics card 50. Users can easily replace the graphics card 50, enhancing system scalability and upgrade convenience, and meeting users' needs for hardware upgrades and maintenance.

[0044] Working Principle: This utility model provides a dustproof edge computer, specifically including a computer casing 10, a first heat dissipation component 20, and a second heat dissipation component 30. A motherboard 40 and a graphics card 50 connected to the motherboard 40 are installed inside the computer casing 10. Since the first heat dissipation component 20 is located at the top of the computer casing 10, it can effectively ventilate and dissipate heat from the motherboard 40. The second heat dissipation component 30 is specifically used for dissipating heat from the graphics card 50, achieving targeted heat dissipation for the motherboard 40 and graphics card 50, reducing the overall temperature, and ensuring that the computer can still operate normally under high load. Since both the dustproof cotton 60 and the second dustproof pad 90 serve a dustproof function, they can effectively prevent dust and debris from entering the computer's interior, reducing the risk of dust contamination of internal components, improving the long-term stability and reliability of the device, making this edge computer particularly suitable for operation in dusty or harsh environments, meeting the needs of different scenarios. Therefore, this utility model solves the technical problem of edge computers having a single heat dissipation channel and poor heat dissipation effect.
