Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Switching is a general term for technologies that, according to the information transmission needs of both ends of a communication connection, use manual or automated methods to send the information to be transmitted to the appropriate route that meets the requirements. Switches can be divided into wide area network (WAN) switches and local area network (LAN) switches based on their operating location. A WAN switch is a device that performs information exchange functions in a communication system; it operates at the data link layer. A switch has multiple ports, each with bridging capabilities, capable of connecting a LAN or a high-performance server or workstation. During actual use, some ports may not be connected. These connected ports are prone to dust accumulation over time, affecting the switch's conductivity. Furthermore, because interfaces are typically recessed, they often contain exposed terminals; manual cleaning can easily damage these terminals, causing the interface structure to lose its electrical connection. Utility Model Content

[0003] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a protective installation structure for switches, which aims to solve the problem that traditional switch structures lack corresponding protective structures to protect their interfaces from dust, and that during long-term use, the accumulation of suspended particles in the air can easily affect their connection performance.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a switch protection installation structure, comprising:

[0005] The base has two first side stops arranged opposite to each other in a first direction;

[0006] Two movable limiting parts are installed on the base along the second direction, and the distance between the two movable limiting parts in the second direction is adjustable;

[0007] A dustproof structure includes multiple cover portions, each of which is disposed on one of the movable limiting portions for shielding the switch interface; and,

[0008] A heat dissipation structure is installed on one of the first side panels to efficiently dissipate heat from the switch;

[0009] Wherein, the first direction and the second direction are two mutually perpendicular directions in the same plane.

[0010] In one embodiment, a fixed region is formed between the two movable limiting portions;

[0011] The movable limiting part is slidably mounted on the base along the second direction, and a connecting part is provided between the movable limiting part and the base to drive the two movable limiting parts to move towards each other in the second direction to adjust the size of the fixed area.

[0012] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a guide portion extending along the second direction, and a sliding protrusion is provided on one end face of the movable limiting portion, the sliding protrusion being connected to the guide portion;

[0013] The connecting portion includes a spring, which is disposed between the sliding protrusion and the guide portion in the second direction.

[0014] In one embodiment, the base is provided with a hollow rod extending along the second direction, and a guide groove is formed on the hollow rod along the second direction, and the sliding protrusion is installed in the guide groove;

[0015] The guide groove includes the guide portion.

[0016] In one embodiment, the guide portion and the sliding protrusion together form a guide group, and the guide group is provided in at least two forms, which are arranged in parallel in the first direction.

[0017] In one embodiment, the movable limiting part includes a second side stop provided in the vertical direction, and the second side stop has a plurality of notches formed thereon, the notches being used to avoid the switch interface;

[0018] Each of the multiple cover portions is rotatably mounted on a multiple of the multiple notches.

[0019] In one embodiment, the cover portion further includes a movable end, and a fixing member is provided between the movable end and the second side stop portion. The fixing member includes a first magnetic attraction portion and a second magnetic attraction portion, which are respectively installed on the movable end and the second side stop portion.

[0020] In one embodiment, a fixed region is formed between the two movable limiting portions;

[0021] The two first side stops extend upward to the side of the fixed area to restrict the movement of the switch in the first direction.

[0040] Switching is a general term for technologies that, according to the information transmission needs of both ends of a communication connection, use manual or automated methods to send the information to be transmitted to the appropriate route that meets the requirements. Switches can be divided into wide area network (WAN) switches and local area network (LAN) switches based on their operating location. A WAN switch is a device that performs information exchange functions in a communication system; it operates at the data link layer. A switch has multiple ports, each with bridging capabilities, capable of connecting a LAN or a high-performance server or workstation. During actual use, some ports may not be connected. These connected ports are prone to dust accumulation over time, affecting the switch's conductivity. Furthermore, because interfaces are typically recessed, they often contain exposed terminals; manual cleaning can easily damage these terminals, causing the interface structure to lose its electrical connection.

[0041] This utility model proposes a switch protection installation structure 100 to solve the above problems.

[0042] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the proposed switch protection installation structure 100 not only enables fixed installation of a traditional single switch structure but also provides good protection. Furthermore, during prolonged use of the switch, the switch protection installation structure 100 effectively ensures the cleanliness of the switch interfaces and achieves efficient heat dissipation during switch operation, ensuring the switch remains in a high-efficiency working state. Specifically, the switch protection installation structure 100 includes a base 1, two movable limiting parts 2, a dustproof structure, and a heat dissipation structure 7. The base 1 has two first side blocks 11 arranged opposite each other in a first direction. The two movable limiting parts 2 are installed on the base 1 along a second direction, and the distance between the two movable limiting parts 2 in the second direction is adjustable. The dustproof structure includes multiple cover parts 212, each of which is disposed on one of the movable limiting parts 2, for shielding the switch interfaces. The heat dissipation structure 7 is installed on one of the first side blocks 11 for efficient heat dissipation of the switch. The first direction and the second direction are two mutually perpendicular directions within the same plane.

[0043] In actual use, the switch is placed on the two movable limiting parts 2, and the distance between the two movable limiting parts 2 in the second direction is adjusted so that the two movable limiting parts 2 can be respectively locked onto the two ends of the switch, thereby limiting the two ends of the switch in the second direction. Simultaneously, when the switch is placed between the two movable limiting parts 2, the two first side stops 11 can limit the two ends of the switch in the first direction, thereby preventing the switch from coming out from between the two movable limiting parts 2. When the two movable limiting parts 2 are locked onto the two ends of the switch, one of the movable limiting parts 2 corresponds to the interface end of the switch. The movable limiting part 2 has multiple rotatable covers 212, each of which corresponds to a multiple interface structure on the switch. In actual use, the corresponding cover 212 can be opened for the interface to be connected, thereby exposing the interface structure, at which point the corresponding switch interface can be connected.

[0044] Switches typically have a large number of ports, and some of these ports are often in a non-connected state during operation. Because switches are electrically powered devices, unused ports often attract dust due to static electricity. Over time, this leads to a buildup of airborne particles, affecting cleanliness and conductivity during subsequent use. Furthermore, since ports are usually recessed, they often contain exposed terminals, which are easily damaged during manual cleaning, causing the interface to lose its electrical connection. To address these issues, in the above embodiment, multiple non-connected ports are covered by a cover 212. This prevents the accumulation of airborne particles inside the port structure during extended use. When a port needs to be used, simply opening the corresponding cover 212 allows for connection, thus achieving dust control at the switch ports.

[0045] In addition, the heat dissipation holes of a switch are usually located on two opposite side walls of the switch. In the above embodiment, one of the first side blocks 11 on which the heat dissipation structure 7 is installed corresponds to the side wall of the switch where the heat dissipation holes are located. When the actual switch is used for a long time, its internal temperature will rise. When the temperature of the switch is high, the heat dissipation structure 7 on the first side block 11 can work, thereby accelerating the airflow between the two opposite side walls of the switch, and thus allowing the temperature of the switch to drop more quickly, allowing the switch to maintain a high-efficiency working state.

[0046] As is conceivable, the switch protection mounting structure 100 is located on the outside of the switch. Traditional switch structures do not have corresponding external mounting structures. Therefore, in actual use, they can usually only be placed horizontally. The switch protection mounting structure 100 also provides another installation method for the switch. In actual use, the base 1 can be fixed to the wall, thus allowing the switch to achieve a flexible installation effect in limited space.

[0047] In addition, since the switch protection installation structure 100 is an external structural feature of the switch, it will not affect the traditional switch structure during use, making it more in line with actual application scenarios.

[0048] A fixed area 5 is formed between the two movable limiting parts 2. During actual installation, the switch is positioned within this fixed area 5. To facilitate installation and fixation, the movable limiting parts 2 are slidably mounted on the base 1 along the second direction, and a connecting part is provided between the movable limiting parts 2 and the base 1 to drive the two movable limiting parts 2 to move towards each other in the second direction, thereby adjusting the size of the fixed area 5. In this embodiment, during installation, the two movable limiting parts 2 can be driven to move away from each other on the base 1, thus increasing the size of the fixed area 5, allowing the switch to be placed between them. When the force is manually stopped, the connecting part will reset, causing the two movable limiting parts 2 to move towards each other, thereby fixing the switch within the fixed area 5.

[0049] Specifically, the base 1 is provided with a guide portion extending along the second direction, and one end face of the movable limiting portion 2 is provided with a sliding protrusion 221. The sliding protrusion 221 is connected to the guide portion. During the movement of the movable limiting portion 2 in the second direction, the sliding protrusion 221 guides the movement along the second direction on the guide portion. This ensures the stability of the movable limiting portion 2 during its movement.

[0050] Specifically, the base 1 has a hollow rod portion 12 extending along the second direction, and a guide groove portion 121 is formed on the hollow rod portion 12 along the second direction. The sliding protrusion 221 is installed in the guide groove portion 121, and the guide groove portion 121 includes the guide portion. In this embodiment, the guide portion is specifically the guide groove portion 121, which extends along the second direction, and the outer contour of the sliding protrusion 221 corresponds to the shape inside the guide groove portion 121. Figure 4As shown, the sliding protrusion 221 is configured with an irregular structure, with a relatively large portion inside the hollow rod and a relatively small portion connecting with the movable limiting part 2. Correspondingly, the opening of the guide groove 121 is also relatively small. With this configuration, the sliding protrusion 221 can effectively prevent itself from dislodging from the guide groove 121 during its sliding in the guide groove 121 along the second direction, thereby further improving the stability of the movable limiting part 2 during its movement.

[0051] In one embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part includes a spring 3, which is disposed between the sliding protrusion 221 and the guide part in the second direction. When the spring 3 is in its natural state, the distance between the two movable limiting parts 2 is small, and the fixed area 5 is also relatively small. Therefore, when the spring 3 generates a reset movement, the switch can be fixed by the two movable limiting parts 2. Specifically, the spring 3 is disposed inside the hollow rod part 12, and the two ends of the spring 3 are respectively connected to one end of the movable protrusion and the inner wall of the guide groove part 121. Disposing of the spring 3 inside the hollow rod part 12 can further improve the compactness of the entire structure.

[0052] The guide portion and the sliding protrusion 221 together form a guide group. In order to further improve the stability of the movable limiting portion 2 during movement, at least two guide groups are provided, and they are arranged in parallel in the first direction.

[0053] In the above embodiments, multiple guide groups are simultaneously provided in the first direction, thereby improving the guiding and supporting effect on the movable limiting part 2, and further improving the stability of the movement process during the movement of the two movable limiting parts 2.

[0054] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the movable limiting part 2 is specifically configured as an L-shaped plate structure, which includes a second side stop 21 arranged in the vertical direction. The second side stop 21 has multiple notches 211 formed on it, which are used to avoid the switch interface. Multiple cover parts 212 are rotatably mounted on the multiple notches 211. The multiple notches 211 on the second side stop 21 correspond to multiple interfaces on the switch. A cover part 212 is rotatably mounted at each notch 211 position. When the switch interface is not in use, the cover part 212 can cover the notch 211, thereby preventing airborne particles from entering the corresponding interface structure.

[0055] The cover portion 212 not only has the aforementioned movable mounting end, but also includes a movable end that can be opened and closed. A fixing member 4 is provided between the movable end and the second side stop portion 21. The fixing member 4 includes a first magnetic suction portion 41 and a second magnetic suction portion 42, which are respectively mounted on the movable end and the second side stop portion 21.

[0056] In actual use, when the first magnetic suction part 41 and the second magnetic suction part 42 are engaged, the movable end of the cover part 212 can maintain a good fastening state at the notch part 211. This avoids the cover part 212 from automatically flipping over and causing the notch part 211 to open without external force. This also ensures that when the entire switch protection mounting structure 100 is fixed to the wall, the multiple cover parts 212 can remain in a fastening state.

[0057] To ensure the effective fixed installation of the switch, the two first side stops 11 extend upwards to the sides of the fixed area 5 to restrict the movement of the switch in the first direction. Therefore, when the switch is installed on the fixed area 5, the two first side stops 11 and the two second side stops 21 can limit the circumference of the switch, thereby preventing the switch from coming out of the fixed area 5.

[0058] The movable limiting part 2 further includes a support plate part 22 disposed perpendicularly to the second side baffle part 21. The support plate part 22 serves as a guide mounting structure for the movable limiting part 2, and the sliding protrusion 221 is disposed on the support plate part 22. The heat dissipation structure 7 includes multiple fan assemblies 71 and a detection element 72. The multiple fan assemblies are mounted on one of the first side baffle parts 11 along the second direction. The detection element 72 is disposed on one end face of the support plate part 22 corresponding to the fixed area 5 for acquiring the temperature of the switch.

[0059] As described above, the first side baffle 11 is configured to correspond to the heat dissipation holes of the switch, and the detection element 72 can acquire the actual temperature of the switch during operation. A temperature threshold can be set during the operation of the switch. When the detection element 72 detects that the actual temperature of the switch exceeds the set threshold, the multiple fan assemblies 71 arranged along the second direction can start working simultaneously, thereby accelerating the airflow effect inside the switch and promoting a decrease in the actual temperature of the switch, so that it can be maintained in a better working state.

[0060] In addition, multiple fixing ears 6 are provided on both ends of the base 1 corresponding to the first direction. When the actual switch is installed in the fixing area 5, the entire switch protection mounting structure 100 can be installed on the wall through the multiple fixing ears 6. Furthermore, it is conceivable that after fixing, the first side block 11 and the second side block 21 can provide good protection for the switch, preventing it from falling and causing damage.

[0061] 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.
