Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat dissipation technology for communication equipment, specifically a dustproof and heat dissipation device for memory modules in communication equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In communication equipment, memory modules are plug-and-play assembled. When installed in the memory socket, there is a certain gap. Over time, dust or other tiny particles inevitably enter this gap. These dust or particles can accumulate static electricity, leading to electrostatic discharge and potentially damaging the memory module. They also increase electromagnetic interference, affecting signal integrity and causing performance failures. Furthermore, they can block heat dissipation channels, affecting the memory module's heat dissipation performance and causing overheating. This is especially true in certain types of communication equipment where the overall airflow is front-facing and rear-exhaust, with the front typically housing ports. For key components, the remaining space is used to house most of the ventilation holes required for heat dissipation. These ventilation holes are typically smaller in area compared to the ports. A fan is placed at the rear of the system to overcome air resistance, allowing most airflow to enter from the front panel and exit through a rear-mounted fan – a direct ventilation duct configuration. Because this type of equipment uses an exhaust system, the internal environment is under negative pressure, making it prone to dust accumulation on the inner surface of the circuit boards. This is especially true in narrow crevices, where dust or fine particles can gradually adhere to or accumulate over time, potentially leading to equipment malfunctions. Therefore, measures such as dust prevention for the equipment itself, the cabinet doors, and the memory modules are implemented during installation.

[0003] Dust prevention for equipment: Adding dust filters to the air vents is a standard dust prevention solution for equipment. The dust filter is cleaned regularly to achieve the dust prevention effect. For our small or frame-type equipment, the air intake mainly enters from the opening on the front panel. However, the air intake area at this point is very small, and even a slight blockage can have a significant impact on the equipment's heat dissipation performance. In addition, compared with side air intake, the dust removal frequency is increased, and maintenance is more frequent. Therefore, dust filter devices are generally not visible on front-entry air intake equipment.

[0004] Dust prevention for rack doors; dust screens are usually installed on rack doors to prevent dust from entering the entire rack. Some racks do not have dust screens installed, so dust screens need to be designed and installed according to the rack's shape. The dust screens on the rack doors should be cleaned regularly.

[0005] Dust prevention for memory modules; Currently, no dust prevention devices are found in existing memory module products; although some patents mention dust prevention for memory modules, they differ significantly from this patent. This patent not only solves the problem of dust prevention for memory modules but also solves the problem of heat dissipation for memory modules.

[0006] Among the dust prevention technologies mentioned above, equipment dust prevention is not applicable to front-ventilation equipment. Because the front panel of such equipment has densely packed ports, leaving very little space for air intake, blockage of the ventilation holes can fatally impact the overall heat dissipation. Adding dust filters to the front panel ventilation holes further increases the probability of blockage. Therefore, adding equipment-level dust filters is not suitable for this type of specialized equipment. While rack-level dust prevention can provide some dust protection for the entire unit in practical applications, not all rack doors are equipped with dust filters, and it's impossible to require customers to uniformly purchase racks with dust filters, thus limiting its practical application. Furthermore, some core computer rooms have very high cleanliness requirements, typically requiring ISO 5 to ISO 7 levels. This special environment is beneficial for improving equipment stability and reliability. Due to the high cost, many other types of computer rooms cannot meet these requirements, while memory module dust prevention is more feasible and economical. Therefore, the applicant proposes a dust prevention and heat dissipation device for communication equipment memory modules, which can effectively prevent dust and dissipate heat from memory modules, ensuring reliable equipment operation.

The device involves installing the memory module on a memory socket, mounting a dustproof and heat dissipation device on the memory module, and installing a dustproof shielding strip at the gap between the memory module and the memory socket. The dustproof and heat dissipation device includes a dustproof plate, heat dissipation protrusions, mounting clips, a fixing clip mounting slot, and a side fixing slot. The device is installed on the memory module using the mounting clips, fixing clip mounting slot, and side fixing slot.

[0010] Furthermore, the communication device's memory module dustproof and heat dissipation device is equipped with a memory heat dissipation and dustproof device.

[0025] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a dustproof and heat dissipation device for a communication device's memory module, including a memory socket 1, a memory module 2, a memory heat dissipation and dustproof device 3, and a dustproof shielding strip 4. The memory module 2 is mounted on the memory socket 1, the memory heat dissipation and dustproof device 3 is mounted on the memory module 2, and the dustproof shielding strip 4 is installed at the gap between the memory module 2 and the memory socket 1. Its design is based on... Figure 3 , Figure 4 One type of ventilation equipment is used in scenarios where Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the scenario depicted, the PCB board 6 of device 7 is installed in the middle. An air inlet 5 is located at the front of device 7, and a fan 8 is located at the rear. The memory module 2 is mounted on the PCB board 6. The overall airflow cooling system of this type of device is a front-facing, primarily front-facing, rear-exhaust airflow configuration. The front of the device typically houses the main components, with the remaining space used for most of the ventilation holes required for heat dissipation. These ventilation holes are usually relatively small compared to the area occupied by the ports. Simultaneously, a fan is placed at the rear of the device system to overcome air resistance, thus achieving a direct ventilation duct configuration where most airflow enters from the front panel and exits through the rear fan. Because this type of device uses an exhaust system, the internal environment is under negative pressure. Therefore, dust easily accumulates on the inner surface of the equipment board, especially in narrow gaps. Over time, dust or fine particles will gradually adhere to or deposit on the surface, leading to equipment failure. This invention addresses this issue by solving the dust prevention and heat dissipation requirements of memory modules. It is made of flexible heat-dissipating material or plastic. Before the memory module 2 is installed on the memory socket 1, a dustproof shielding strip 4 is inserted into the gap between the memory module 2 and the memory socket 1 to effectively prevent dust from entering. After the memory module is installed, the lower part of the memory heat dissipation and dust prevention device 3 installed on the memory module 2 fits against the top of the dustproof shielding strip 4, effectively preventing dust from entering the memory module.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, the memory heat dissipation and dust prevention device 3 has a structure including a dustproof plate 3-1, a heat dissipation protrusion 3-2, a mounting clip 3-3, a fixing clip mounting groove 3-4, and a side fixing groove 3-5. The dustproof plate 3-1 is split in the middle. The dustproof plate 3-1 has a heat dissipation protrusion 3-2 at the chip position corresponding to the memory module. The dustproof plate 3-1 has mounting clips 3-3 on both sides near the top. The top of the dustproof plate 3-1 has a pair of fixing clip mounting grooves 3-4 and is fixed by fixing clips 10. Alternatively, a new type of adhesive can be used for fixing. The dustproof plate 3-1 shown has side fixing grooves 3-5 at both ends. When the memory heat dissipation and dustproof device 3 is installed on the memory module 2, thermal grease is applied between the heat dissipation protrusion 3-2 and the chip on the memory module 2 that needs heat dissipation to eliminate the gap between the memory module 2 and the memory heat dissipation and dustproof device 3. The memory heat dissipation and dustproof device 3 shown is made of heat dissipation material by integral casting, machining or stamping, and has a good external heat dissipation structure, which has good dust prevention and heat dissipation function.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any modifications or equivalent changes made based on the technical essence of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present utility model.
