Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge computing terminal equipment, and in particular to an edge computing terminal box that is waterproof and facilitates heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of drone technology, drones are carrying more and more sensors, enabling them to collect massive amounts of image, video, and location data. However, transmitting all this data back to a central server for processing presents numerous challenges. If drones transmit all data back to a central server, it consumes significant communication resources and increases communication costs. Edge computing terminals, on the other hand, can process most of the data locally, transmitting only essential information back to the central server, thereby reducing communication costs. Furthermore, in areas with unstable communication signals, such as remote mountainous regions and maritime areas, the autonomous processing capabilities of edge computing terminals can ensure that drones can still operate normally to a certain extent.

[0003] Existing edge computing terminals used on drones generally lack waterproofing capabilities and typically fail to meet the heat dissipation requirements for high-power operation when stationary, relying on passive cooling. This results in system instability. When flying with the drone, occasional rainfall and high-humidity clouds may occur, potentially causing the edge computing terminal system to malfunction or encounter other problems, leading to system instability and unnecessary issues. Overheating may also cause the system to stop working altogether. Utility Model Content

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 8 The following is a detailed description of an edge computing terminal box that is waterproof and facilitates heat dissipation according to this utility model.

[0026] This utility model discloses a waterproof and heat-dissipating edge computing terminal box, the structure of which includes a base 1, a shell 2, a motherboard 9, and a core board 10. The shell 2 is disposed on the upper part of the base 1, and the motherboard 9 and core board 10 are disposed inside the shell 2. The core board 10 is disposed on the upper part of the motherboard 9. A heat dissipation adapter 12 is disposed on the upper part of the core board 10. Thermal grease is applied between the core board 10 and the heat dissipation adapter 12. A thermally conductive silicone pad 13 is attached to the heat dissipation adapter 12 and is attached to the inner surface of the shell 2. In this way, the heat generated by the core board 10 is conducted to the shell 2 through the heat dissipation adapter 12 and the thermally conductive silicone pad 13. The shell 2 and the base 1 are sealed by an O-ring 8. The base 1 has a groove 101, and the O-ring 8 is installed in the groove 101, and the O-ring 8 is secured between the base 1 and the shell 2. The base 1 is connected to and fixed to the shell 2 by three screws.

[0027] The upper part of the outer casing 2 is provided with heat dissipation fins 201, and a cooling fan 7 is installed in the middle position. A fan cover 6 is installed on the upper part of the cooling fan 7. In this way, the cooling fan 7 blows air convection to dissipate heat into the air. The heat dissipation fins on the outer casing 2 are not in communication with the inside of the outer casing, thus ensuring the upper part is sealed.

[0028] A heat-conducting protrusion 15 is provided inside the base 1. The heat-conducting protrusion 15 is located at the lower part of the motherboard 9, and thermal grease is applied between the heat-conducting protrusion and the motherboard 9. This is used to dissipate heat from the heat-generating components on the motherboard 9.

[0029] The bottom surface of the base 1 is provided with base heat dissipation fins 102. The base heat dissipation fins are in the form of multiple grooves on the base 1 to increase the heat dissipation area for heat dissipation.

[0030] The outer casing 2 has three SMA antenna adapter mounting holes for installing SMA antenna adapter 5. Antenna 3 is installed on SMA antenna adapter 5. The holes where SMA antenna adapter is not installed are filled with silicone sealing plugs 11.

[0031] An open-ended rubber plug 4 is inserted at the wire passage position on the outer shell 2. Sealant is applied between the open-ended rubber plug 4 and the protruding wire 16, thus achieving a sealing function between the inside and outside of the box.

[0032] The lower part of the cooling fan 7 has a fan cable hole 202 on its outer casing 2. After the fan cable passes through the hole, it is sealed with sealant. The outer casing 2 also has a snap-on plug 14.

[0033] The waterproof performance of this invention is achieved through the O-rings 8 of the outer shell 2 and the base 1, the silicone sealing plugs 11, snap-fit ​​plugs 14, open rubber plugs 4 on the outer shell 2, and the application of sealant at the fan cable hole. To meet both sealing and assembly requirements, the heat dissipation structure of the core board 10 is designed as a separate unit, discarding the built-in heat dissipation module. The heat from the core board 10 is conducted to the outer shell 2 via the heat dissipation adapter 12, and then transferred through the cooling fan 7 and air convection during flight. This combination of active and passive heat dissipation transfers the heat into the air, achieving both a sealing effect at the top and the heat dissipation fins while ensuring heat conduction.

[0034] The embodiments listed above are for understanding the present utility model only and are not intended to limit the technical solutions described herein. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications based on the technical solutions described in the claims, and all equivalent changes or modifications should be covered within the scope of protection of the claims of the present utility model.
