Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of heat sinks, specifically a heat sink for routers that is easy to install. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, routers have become indispensable devices in modern network communication. During operation, the internal electronic components of a router generate a significant amount of heat. This heat is dissipated through heat sinks, which are hardware components specifically designed to reduce the temperature of electronic components. Their main function is to effectively dissipate the heat generated by the electronic components into the surrounding environment through heat transfer methods such as conduction, convection, and radiation, thereby maintaining the electronic components within a relatively low and stable temperature range.
[0003] Existing router heatsinks are typically fixed to the surface of internal electronic components (such as the CPU) using simple adhesive. This installation method is not only cumbersome but also lacks proper fixation. During router operation, insufficient contact between the heatsink and the electronic components can easily lead to the heatsink loosening, affecting heat dissipation. This adhesive-based method also presents the problem of heatsink instability. For example, in some small routers with limited internal space, the traditional adhesive method cannot ensure stability. External impacts or forces can easily cause the adhesive heatsink to detach, reducing the heat dissipation effect of the electronic components. Furthermore, during transportation, installation, and use, the internal electronic components of the router are susceptible to external impacts and vibrations. Existing heatsinks lack effective protective structures and cannot adequately protect the electronic components. Impacts to these components can lead to equipment malfunction or even damage. Moreover, most existing heatsinks employ an open design, failing to effectively protect the delicate internal electronic components (such as the CPU). During equipment transportation, installation, or operation, external impacts, vibrations, or foreign object intrusion may directly affect the surface of electronic components, causing component pins to break, solder joints to fall off, or physical damage, significantly reducing equipment reliability.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0016] The following is combined Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present invention provides a detailed description of the heat sink for an easy-to-install router:
[0017] A heat sink for easy-to-install routers includes a heat sink body 1. The bottom of the heat sink body 1 is provided with several protective blocks 7 with openings. The bottom of the heat sink body 1 is provided with several hollow fixing rods 6, all of which are on the same horizontal plane. The bottom of the heat sink body 1 extends outward to form several solid positioning rods 8, which are symmetrically arranged between adjacent positioning rods 8. One end of each positioning rod 8 extends outward to form a positioning head 9. After installation, the protective blocks 7 are compatible with and cover the electronic components inside the router.
[0018] The surface of the heat sink 1 extends outward to form several fins 4, which are equidistantly arranged. The fins 4 extend along the length of the heat sink 1 and are all the same height. There is a gap between adjacent fins 4 to form airflow grooves 5. The equidistant arrangement of the fins 4 increases the surface area of the heat sink and improves the heat dissipation efficiency. The airflow grooves 5 help air flow between the fins 4, forming good air circulation and further improving the heat dissipation effect. The uniform height of the fins 4 ensures the uniformity of airflow. After the heat sink is installed, the heat dissipation speed of the electronic components inside the router can be accelerated, and the heat dissipation efficiency can be improved.
[0019] A fixing plate 3 is welded to the surface of the heat sink 1. The bottom of the fixing plate 3 is welded to the fins 4. A snap-fit 2 is provided at one end of the heat sink 1. Both the heat sink 1 and the protective block 7 are made of copper. The fixing plate 3 is welded to the surface of the heat sink 1 and to the fins 4, which enhances the overall structural strength of the heat sink, prevents the fins 4 from deforming during use, improves the overall rigidity of the heat sink, and extends its service life. The snap-fit 2 facilitates the snap-fit between the heat sink and the router shell, making the installation process simpler and faster, and improving installation efficiency. Copper has good thermal conductivity, which can quickly conduct heat from the heat sink to the surrounding environment, improving the heat dissipation effect. At the same time, copper has good corrosion resistance, which extends the service life of the heat sink.
[0020] The router heat sink of this embodiment, which is easy to install, can effectively protect the electronic components inside the router by setting the protective block 7 with an opening, preventing damage from external forces, impacts, etc. The hollow structure fixing rod 6 facilitates connection with other components, ensuring the stable installation of the heat sink. The solid structure positioning rod 8 and positioning head 9 can accurately position the heat sink inside the router, ensuring a tight fit between the heat sink and the electronic components inside the router, greatly improving the installation stability of the heat sink.
[0021] During installation, align the end with the protective block 7 with the electronic components inside the router, and press it to engage the positioning head 9 on the positioning rod 8 into the corresponding position inside the router. This allows the protective block 7 to cover the electronic components, and the latch 2 to engage into the corresponding position inside the router. Align the positioning rod 8 with the screw holes inside the router, and screws or other fasteners into the positioning rod 8 to install the heat sink inside the router. This protects and dissipates heat from the electronic components inside the router. During heat dissipation, the heat generated by the electronic components is transferred to the protective block 7, and then to the heat sink 1. The fins 4 dissipate the heat, and the airflow grooves 5 allow air to flow between the fins 4, creating good air circulation and further improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0022] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention, and no reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
