Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Current router devices generally face the problem of insufficient heat dissipation efficiency when running under high load for extended periods. Traditional heat dissipation solutions mostly rely on passive heat dissipation structures (such as heat sinks), which can cope with normal usage scenarios, but under intensive data processing or high-temperature environments, the chip temperature is prone to rapid rise, leading to performance degradation or even hardware damage.

[0003] Furthermore, existing router antenna adjustment designs have significant limitations. Most products rely on manual rotation for antenna angle adjustment, lacking precise positioning and tactile feedback. This makes it difficult to quickly determine signal coverage direction, and frequent adjustments can easily lead to structural loosening. Switching between different antenna settings lacks clear physical markings and operational feedback (such as sound or touch), resulting in a poor user experience. Especially in scenarios requiring flexible multi-angle deployment, current technology struggles to meet the dual demands of convenience and stability.

[0004] At the user interaction level, traditional routers rely heavily on external devices (such as mobile phones and computers) for network configuration, requiring manual input of usernames and passwords, which is cumbersome and unfriendly to non-professional users. Furthermore, device status information (such as connection speed and number of terminals) typically requires dedicated software to view, lacking a localized and intuitive display, thus limiting users' real-time control over network status. There is an urgent need to develop a new type of router. Utility Model Content

[0011] A further technical solution is that the projections of the first thermally conductive pad and the second thermally conductive pad on the first shielding cover at least partially overlap; the projections of the third thermally conductive pad and the fourth thermally conductive pad on the second shielding cover at least partially overlap.

[0012] A further technical solution is that the motherboard includes a heat-generating device, and the first thermal pad and / or the third thermal pad are in contact with the heat-generating device.

[0037] It should be understood that, when used in this specification and the appended claims, the terms "comprising" and "including" indicate the presence of the described features, integrals, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integrals, steps, operations, elements, components and / or collections thereof.

[0038] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0039] To address the problems of low heat dissipation efficiency, uneven heat distribution, and insufficient redundancy in traditional routers with only one side, this invention proposes a router with dual-sided heat dissipation. Details are as follows:

[0040] See Figures 1-2 This embodiment provides a router, as shown in the figure, which includes a housing 100 and a motherboard 10, a first heat-conducting component 20, a second heat-conducting component 30, a first heat sink 11, and a second heat sink 12 disposed within the housing 100; the first heat sink 11 and the second heat sink 12 are respectively disposed on both sides of the motherboard 10; the first heat-conducting component 20 is disposed between the first heat sink 11 and the motherboard 10, and is used to transfer the heat generated by the motherboard 10 to the first heat sink 11; the second heat-conducting component 30 is disposed between the second heat sink 12 and the motherboard 10, and is used to transfer the heat generated by the motherboard 10 to the second heat sink 12.

[0041] Both the first heat sink 11 and the second heat sink 12 are fixed to the motherboard 10 with screws.

[0042] The router provided by this utility model achieves simultaneous heat conduction from the motherboard to both sides by respectively setting a first heat-conducting component 20, a second heat-conducting component 30, and corresponding first heat sink 11 and second heat sink 12 on both sides of the motherboard 10. This design significantly increases the heat dissipation contact area, improves the overall heat dissipation efficiency, and evenly distributes heat in various areas of the motherboard, avoiding localized high temperatures (such as chip temperatures ≤70℃), ensuring stable operation of electronic components, and extending the life of the device. At the same time, the dual heat dissipation paths are redundant, so even if the efficiency of one component decreases due to failure or aging, the other side can still maintain basic heat dissipation capacity, greatly improving the reliability of the device in complex environments.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the router provided by this utility model further includes a first shielding cover 13 and a second shielding cover 14, which respectively cover both sides of the motherboard 10. This embodiment covers both sides of the motherboard with shielding covers to form electromagnetic shielding protection, reducing the impact of signal interference on heat dissipation performance; simultaneously, as an intermediate layer in the heat conduction path, it enhances the structural stability between the motherboard and the heat sink, preventing the heat conduction components from detaching due to mechanical vibration, and ensuring the continuity of heat transfer.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the first thermally conductive component 20 includes a first thermally conductive pad 21 and a second thermally conductive pad 22. The first thermally conductive pad 21 is disposed between the motherboard 10 and the first shielding cover 13, and contacts both the motherboard 10 and the first shielding cover 13. The second thermally conductive pad 22 is disposed between the first shielding cover 13 and the first heat sink 11, and contacts both the first shielding cover 13 and the first heat sink 11. This embodiment reduces the air gap between contact surfaces and improves heat conduction efficiency through a layered thermally conductive design of the motherboard and the shielding cover (first thermally conductive pad) and the shielding cover and the heat sink (second thermally conductive pad). The double-pad structure can adapt to the differences in the expansion coefficients of different materials and avoid interface separation under long-term high temperatures.

[0045] In a specific embodiment, the second thermal conductive component 30 includes a third thermal conductive pad 31 and a fourth thermal conductive pad 32. The third thermal conductive pad 31 is disposed between the motherboard 10 and the second shielding cover 14, and contacts both the motherboard 10 and the second shielding cover 14. The fourth thermal conductive pad 32 is disposed between the second shielding cover 14 and the second heat sink 12, and contacts both the second shielding cover 14 and the second heat sink 12. The symmetrically designed thermal conductive paths on both sides of the motherboard (the third thermal conductive pad and the fourth thermal conductive pad) further balance the heat distribution, prevent heat accumulation on one side, and achieve bidirectional heat dissipation redundancy in combination with the dual heat sinks.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the projections of the first thermally conductive pad 21 and the second thermally conductive pad 22 on the first shielding cover 13 at least partially overlap; the projections of the third thermally conductive pad 31 and the fourth thermally conductive pad 32 on the second shielding cover 14 at least partially overlap. It can be understood that this projection refers to the projection along the vertical direction. The overlapping area of ​​the thermally conductive pads' projections on the shielding cover forms a continuous heat transfer channel, reducing heat loss in the conduction path, lowering local thermal resistance, and improving overall heat dissipation uniformity.

[0047] In a specific embodiment, the motherboard 10 includes a heat-generating device 16, and the first thermal pad 21 and / or the third thermal pad 31 are in contact with the heat-generating device 16. The heat-generating device 16 includes high-power chips (such as CPUs, WiFi modules), power devices, etc. In this embodiment, for the heat-generating device 16 on the motherboard 10, the thermal pads are directly attached to the surface of the heat-generating device, preferentially dissipating the heat from the core heat source, significantly reducing the peak temperature of the chip (e.g., ≤70℃), and avoiding performance throttling or hardware damage.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, the router further includes a cooling fan 40, the motherboard 10 includes a temperature sensor, the cooling fan 40 is connected to the motherboard 10, and the cooling fan 40 is located on one side of the first heat sink 11. In this embodiment, the temperature sensor can monitor the motherboard temperature in real time. When the chip temperature exceeds a preset threshold (e.g., 70°C), the cooling fan is automatically activated. Combined with the airflow design of the first heat sink, the airflow is directionally guided to accelerate heat dissipation, achieving "passive + active" intelligent temperature control and heat dissipation, which improves the heat dissipation efficiency by more than 50% compared to a purely passive solution.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the first heat sink 11 is provided with heat dissipation fins, and an air duct 15 is formed between two adjacent heat dissipation fins. The exhaust side of the cooling fan 11 is arranged facing the air duct 15. This embodiment utilizes the air duct to optimize the airflow direction, reduce turbulence interference, and concentrate the fan airflow to wash the surface of the heat sink, thereby improving the forced cooling efficiency; at the same time, it reduces fan noise and improves the user experience.

[0050] See further Figure 3 In a specific embodiment, the router further includes an antenna 50, which includes a rotating shaft 51. The housing 100 has a shaft hole 101, and the rotating shaft 51 is rotatably connected to the shaft hole 101. The antenna 50 has an antenna limiting block 52 located on one side of the rotating shaft 51. The housing 100 has a starting limiting block 102, an intermediate damping block 103, and a ending limiting block 104 spaced around the shaft hole 101. The starting limiting block 102 and the ending limiting block 104 limit the rotation of the antenna limiting block 52. When the antenna limiting block 52 rotates to the intermediate damping block 103, the antenna limiting block 52 contacts the intermediate damping block 103 and can slide over the intermediate damping block 103. In this embodiment, the starting limiting block 102 and the ending limiting block 104 have a semi-circular structure, which is integrally formed and can limit the antenna rotation range (e.g., 0°, 180°) to avoid excessive rotation causing cable wear. The intermediate damping block 103 is located opposite the semi-circular structure and can provide slight resistance and tactile feedback (e.g., a "click" sound) to ensure that the antenna is accurately positioned at commonly used angles (e.g., 90°), enhancing the user's operating feel and signal coverage stability. Specifically, when the antenna limiting block 52 is located at the starting limiting block 102, it corresponds to 0°; when the antenna limiting block 52 is located at the ending limiting block 104, it corresponds to 180°. The starting limiting block 102 and the ending limiting block 104 form a strong limiting effect. Figures 4-6 The diagrams are shown in sequence when the antenna limiting block 52 is located at the starting limiting block 102, the intermediate damping block 103, and the ending limiting block 104.

[0051] In a specific embodiment, the router further includes a display screen 60, which is disposed on the housing 100. In this embodiment, the display screen 60 directly displays network status (such as the number of connected devices and real-time network speed) and a QR code quick pairing function, simplifying the user configuration process and reducing reliance on mobile phones / computers; localized information display improves operation and maintenance efficiency, and is especially suitable for non-professional user scenarios.

[0052] In the router provided in this embodiment, the housing 100 has a lower cover 110, which is fixedly connected to the housing 100 by screws to form the outer shell of the router.

[0053] The router provided by this utility model systematically solves the problems of uneven heat dissipation, low efficiency, and cumbersome operation of traditional routers through layered heat conduction, redundant heat dissipation, intelligent temperature control, precise positioning, and interactive optimization.
