Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of network switch technology, and in particular to a network switch with independent UPS function. Background Technology

[0002] A network switch is a network device used to connect multiple network devices and is responsible for forwarding data between these devices. A UPS network switch refers to a switch device used in a network environment. It is equipped with an uninterruptible power supply function to ensure that the equipment can continue to work normally in the event of a power outage or voltage fluctuation. Such switches are commonly used in data centers, server rooms and other critical infrastructure to ensure network stability and reliability.

[0003] However, many existing UPS network switches have internal batteries that generate a lot of heat during use, which reduces battery life. Furthermore, the batteries require maintenance after prolonged use, which typically involves disassembling the UPS network switch, a cumbersome process that diminishes the device's effectiveness. Therefore, these issues need to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a network switch with independent UPS functionality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A network switch with independent UPS function includes a switch body with network ports on its surface. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to one end of the switch body near the network ports. A battery compartment is located inside the switch body, and a battery box is slidably connected inside the battery compartment. The battery box contains a storage compartment for battery cells. The switch body has a sliding mechanism for the battery box and a heat dissipation mechanism for the battery cells. The battery box allows for the placement of battery cells, and during use, it can slide inside the switch body, causing the battery cells to slide outwards for easy maintenance. Furthermore, with the assistance of a cooling fan, the surface of the battery cells is cooled, improving the overall performance of the device.

[0007] Preferably, the sliding mechanism includes a first limiting block. Two first limiting slots are horizontally formed on opposite sides inside the battery compartment. The two first limiting blocks are slidably connected to the two first limiting slots. The two first limiting blocks are fixedly connected to symmetrical sides of the battery box surface. Sliding rods are horizontally fixedly connected inside each of the two first limiting slots. The two first limiting blocks are slidably sleeved on the surfaces of the two sliding rods. A first spring is sleeved on the surface of each of the two sliding rods. One end of each of the two first springs is disposed on the surface of the two first limiting blocks, and the other end of each of the two first springs is disposed near the fixed plate of each of the two first limiting slots, thereby restricting the horizontal sliding of the battery box and allowing the battery cells to slide together.

[0008] Furthermore, the battery compartment has multiple ventilation holes extending through its surface. A filter screen is installed inside the battery compartment, positioned on the surface of the ventilation holes. A horizontal groove is formed on one side of the battery compartment surface. Two second limiting grooves are horizontally formed on opposite sides of the groove. A locking tongue is slidably connected inside the groove. Two second limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the locking tongue surface. Two second limiting blocks are slidably connected to the two second limiting grooves. A second spring is installed inside the groove. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the locking tongue, and the other end is located inside the groove. A slot is formed on one side of the battery compartment. One end of the locking tongue is slidably connected to the slot, engaging with the slot. A button is slidably connected inside the slot. One end of the button engages with the locking tongue. Three limiting blocks are fixedly connected to both symmetrical sides of the button surface. Two third limiting blocks are slidably connected to opposite sides of the slot, restricting the sliding of the locking tongue and thus limiting the movement of the battery compartment.

[0009] Preferably, the heat dissipation mechanism includes a cooling fan, a ventilation slot is provided on the surface of the switch body, the ventilation slot is connected to the inside of the battery compartment, the cooling fan is installed inside the ventilation slot, a protective net is installed on one side of the surface of the switch body, the protective net is provided on the surface of the ventilation slot, and is used to ventilate the battery compartment, thereby facilitating heat dissipation inside the battery box. At the same time, the filter screen will dissipate heat from dust in the air.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. During use, the internal circuitry detects the battery cell's charge level and replenishes it in real time. In the event of a power outage, the device can be powered by the internal battery cell and will drive a cooling fan to allow external air to enter the battery box through multiple vents on its surface. The air is then filtered to remove dust. Once powered on again, the battery cell will be recharged.

[0012] 2. During use, pressing the button will cause the latch to slide, and then, under the setting of the two first springs, the battery box will pop out, which will also cause the battery cells to slide out, making it easier to maintain the battery cells and clean the filter.
