Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of optical transceiver technology, specifically to an optical transceiver with overheat protection function. Background Technology
[0002] Optical transceivers, as important optical communication equipment, play a crucial role in various communication networks. With the continuous development of communication technology, the functions of optical transceivers are becoming increasingly powerful, and the integration of their internal electronic components is also becoming higher and higher, which causes optical transceivers to generate more heat during operation.
[0003] Because some optical transceivers are mounted flush against the ground on a mounting platform, they rely solely on the ventilation holes on both sides for natural heat dissipation. However, under prolonged high-load operation or high ambient temperatures, natural heat dissipation through these ventilation holes is often insufficient to meet the transceiver's cooling requirements. Heat from the bottom of the transceiver is difficult to dissipate, easily leading to overheating. Excessive temperature not only affects the transceiver's performance, causing unstable signal transmission and data loss, but also shortens its lifespan and can even cause equipment failure, severely impacting the normal operation of the communication network.
[0004] Therefore, developing an optical transceiver with good heat dissipation performance and overheat protection is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an optical transceiver with overheat protection. This solves the problem that some optical transceivers are mounted flush against the ground on a mounting platform, allowing them to rely solely on the ventilation holes on both sides for natural heat dissipation. Under conditions of prolonged high-load operation or high ambient temperature, natural heat dissipation through these ventilation holes is often insufficient to meet the heat dissipation requirements of the optical transceiver, making it difficult for heat to dissipate from the bottom and potentially leading to excessively high internal temperatures.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution: an optical transceiver with overheat protection function includes an optical transceiver body, a temperature sensor and a processor are installed inside the optical transceiver body, and a ventilation unit is installed at the bottom of the optical transceiver body;
[0007] A second heat dissipation hole is provided at the bottom of the optical transceiver body;
[0008] The ventilation unit includes:
[0009] A ventilation frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the optical transceiver body. The ventilation frame prevents the bottom surface of the optical transceiver body from directly contacting the mounting surface. Multiple air inlets are provided on the side wall of the ventilation frame.
[0010] A fixing plate is provided on the inner side of the ventilation frame, and multiple ventilation holes are provided on the fixing plate.
[0011] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the optical transceiver body, and the mounting plate has holes.
[0012] Preferably, the optical transceiver body has a first heat dissipation hole on the front and rear sides respectively, and a second heat dissipation hole on the bottom of the optical transceiver body.
[0013] Preferably, the optical transceiver body has an optical fiber interface and a power interface on one side, and an adjustment knob and an indicator light are provided on one side of the optical transceiver body.
[0014] Preferably, the indicator light is connected to the temperature sensor via a processor, and the indicator light is used to indicate overheating information.
[0015] Preferably, the ventilation unit further includes two fans, which are installed on two of the ventilation openings. The fans are connected to the processor and are used to accelerate heat dissipation at the bottom of the optical transceiver body.
[0016] Preferably, the air inlet is trapezoidal in shape, which is used to accelerate airflow at the bottom of the optical transceiver body.
[0017] This utility model discloses an optical transceiver with overheat protection function, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] This optical transceiver with overheat protection features a ventilation unit at the bottom of the transceiver body. The ventilation frame prevents the bottom surface of the transceiver body from directly contacting the mounting surface, increasing airflow space at the bottom. Multiple trapezoidal air inlets are located on the side walls of the ventilation frame, facilitating faster airflow into the frame. Multiple ventilation holes are also located on the mounting plate, housing a fan. This fan actively accelerates airflow at the bottom of the transceiver body. Combined with the first and second heat dissipation holes on the front, back, and bottom of the transceiver body, an effective heat dissipation channel is formed, significantly improving the transceiver's heat dissipation efficiency. This ensures the transceiver maintains a suitable operating temperature during long-term operation, enhancing the equipment's stability and reliability. Attached Figure Description

[0030] Ventilation frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the optical transceiver body 1. Ventilation frame 21 prevents the bottom surface of the optical transceiver body 1 from directly contacting the mounting surface. Multiple air inlets 211 are provided on the side wall of ventilation frame 21.
[0031] The fixing plate 22 is located inside the ventilation frame 21, and multiple ventilation openings 221 are provided on the fixing plate 22.
[0032] Furthermore, a mounting plate 11 is fixedly connected to the optical transceiver body 1, and the mounting plate 11 has holes 111.

[0036] Example 2: According to the appendix Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes an optical transceiver body 1, which contains a temperature sensor and a processor, and a ventilation unit 2 is provided at the bottom of the optical transceiver body 1.
[0037] A second heat dissipation hole 13 is provided at the bottom of the optical transceiver body 1;
[0038] Ventilation unit 2 includes:
[0039] Ventilation frame 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the optical transceiver body 1. Ventilation frame 21 prevents the bottom surface of the optical transceiver body 1 from directly contacting the mounting surface.

At the same time, the fans 23 will be activated to accelerate heat dissipation at the bottom of the optical transceiver unit 1, thereby effectively preventing the optical transceiver from being damaged due to overheating and extending the service life of the equipment.
