Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of data center switch equipment, specifically relating to data center switch equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A switch is a network device used for forwarding electrical (optical) signals. It can provide a dedicated electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch. The most common type of switch is the Ethernet switch, and other common types include telephone voice switches and fiber optic switches.

[0003] Currently, there are two main heat dissipation solutions for data center switches: air cooling and liquid cooling. However, due to the high cost of liquid cooling, air cooling is still the primary heat dissipation solution at present, or a combination of air and liquid cooling. In order to reduce the internal temperature of the switch, the air intake and exhaust volume of the switch is extremely large. Moreover, if the switch is left in place for a long time, dust can easily enter its interior. The entry of dust will not only affect the contact of metal connectors, causing communication failures or port failures, but also reduce the heat dissipation efficiency of the switch and accelerate the aging of components.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide data center switch equipment to address the aforementioned technical issues.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a data center switch device that can solve the problem that existing switches are prone to dust accumulation, which not only affects the contact of metal connectors but also reduces the heat dissipation efficiency of the switch.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, a specific embodiment of the present invention provides a data center switch device, including: a switch body, a rotating filter mechanism, and a filter cleaning mechanism;

[0008] A cooling fan is fixedly installed on the switch body;

[0009] A rotating filter mechanism is fixedly installed on the lower side of the switch body. The rotating filter mechanism includes a rotating receiving chamber, a rotating filter screen chamber is provided in the rotating receiving chamber, and a pair of rotating guide pipes are fixedly installed in the rotating receiving chamber.

[0010] A filtration and cleaning mechanism is slidably installed inside the rotating containment chamber.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a rotating positioning ring is fixedly installed outside the rotating filter compartment, which can be restricted by the switch body, thereby improving the balance of the rotating filter compartment, reducing the probability of the rotating filter compartment shaking, reducing the probability of the rotating filter compartment tilting, and ensuring the stability of the rotating filter compartment.

[0012] The switch body has a balance groove that matches the rotating positioning ring, which connects the switch body and the rotating housing, allowing air in the rotating housing to enter the switch body, facilitating heat dissipation inside the switch body and not obstructing airflow.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a rotating bearing is installed between the rotating positioning ring and the switch body, which can reduce the friction between the rotating positioning ring and the switch body, reduce the damage to the rotating positioning ring and the switch body, and improve the service life of the rotating positioning ring and the switch body.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of evenly distributed rotating fan blades are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating receiving chamber. When air enters the rotating receiving chamber from the rotating guide pipe, it will be guided by the rotating guide pipe, causing the air to blow on the rotating fan blades. By applying force to the rotating fan blades, the rotating filter chamber can be rotated.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the rotating guide pipe is provided through the rotating housing, connecting the rotating housing with the outside air, allowing outside air to enter the rotating housing, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the switch body by the air.

[0016] A rotating positioning net is fixedly installed inside the rotating guide pipe, which reduces the possibility of dust entering the rotating guide pipe and improves the cleanliness of the rotating guide pipe accordingly.

[0017] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the filter cleaning mechanism includes a filter cleaning disc that can slide within a rotating receiving chamber to receive dust within the rotating receiving chamber, allowing the dust within the rotating receiving chamber to be displaced by the filter cleaning disc, facilitating dust discharge and cleaning.

[0018] A filter cleaning shaft is fixedly installed at one end of the filter cleaning disc, which facilitates the rotation of the filter cleaning guide plate and provides corresponding space for the installation of the filter cleaning guide plate, so that the filter cleaning guide plate can quickly return to its original position even if it is tilted.

[0019] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a filter cleaning guide plate is rotatably mounted on the filter cleaning shaft, which can seal the bottom edge of the filter cleaning disc, preventing dust from falling off the filter cleaning disc and improving the convenience of dust cleaning. The filter cleaning shaft is arranged through the filter cleaning guide plate.

[0020] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a cleaning rotation spring is installed between the filter cleaning shaft and the filter cleaning guide plate, which can adjust the position of the filter cleaning guide plate so that the filter cleaning guide plate can quickly return to its original position even if it is tilted.

[0021] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a cleaning elastic shaft is fixedly installed inside the filter cleaning disc, which can fix the position of the cleaning elastic ball, so that the cleaning elastic ball can quickly return even if it is impacted.

[0022] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a cleaning elastic ball is fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning elastic shaft near the rotating filter chamber, which can collide with the rotating fan blades, causing the rotating filter chamber to vibrate and causing the dust attached to the rotating filter chamber to fall off.

[0023] Compared with existing technologies, the data center switch equipment of this utility model reduces the entry of dust through the setting of corresponding mechanisms. This not only reduces the impact on the contact of metal connectors and the possibility of communication failures or port failures, but also reduces the reduction in the heat dissipation efficiency of the switch and slows down the aging of components.

Detailed Implementation

[0032] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a data center switch device in one embodiment of the present invention includes: a switch body 1, a rotating filter mechanism 2, and a filter cleaning mechanism 3.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cooling fan 101 is fixedly installed on the switch body 1, and a rotating filter mechanism 2 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the switch body 1. The rotating filter mechanism 2 includes a rotating receiving chamber 201, which provides corresponding space for dust removal of the switch body 1.

[0035] The rotating receiving chamber 201 is equipped with a rotating filter chamber 202, which can filter the air entering the switch body 1, making the air inside the switch body 1 cleaner and reducing the possibility of dust adhesion.

[0036] In addition, a pair of rotating guide pipes 203 are fixedly installed inside the rotating housing 201 to facilitate the entry of air and allow air to enter the switch body 1 better.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, a rotating positioning ring 204 is fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating filter compartment 202. It can be restricted by the switch body 1, which improves the balance of the rotating filter compartment 202, reduces the probability of the rotating filter compartment 202 shaking, reduces the probability of the rotating filter compartment 202 tilting, and ensures the stability of the rotating filter compartment 202.

[0038] The switch body 1 has a balance groove that matches the rotating positioning ring 204, which connects the switch body 1 and the rotating receiving chamber 201, allowing air in the rotating receiving chamber 201 to enter the switch body 1, facilitating heat dissipation inside the switch body 1 and not obstructing airflow.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a rotating bearing 205 is installed between the rotating positioning ring 204 and the switch body 1, which can reduce the friction between the rotating positioning ring 204 and the switch body 1, reduce the damage to the rotating positioning ring 204 and the switch body 1, and improve the service life of the rotating positioning ring 204 and the switch body 1.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, multiple evenly distributed rotating fan blades 206 are fixedly installed on the outside of the rotating receiving chamber 201. When air enters the rotating receiving chamber 201 from the rotating guide pipe 203, it will be guided by the rotating guide pipe 203, causing the air to blow on the rotating fan blades 206. The force applied to the rotating fan blades 206 can make the rotating filter chamber 202 rotate.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the rotating guide pipe 203 is installed through the rotating housing 201, connecting the rotating housing 201 with the outside air, allowing outside air to enter the rotating housing 201, which facilitates the heat dissipation of the switch body 1 by the air.

[0042] In addition, a rotating positioning net 207 is fixedly installed inside the rotating guide pipe 203, which reduces the possibility of dust entering the rotating guide pipe 203 and improves the cleanliness of the rotating guide pipe 203 accordingly.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a filter cleaning mechanism 3 is slidably installed inside the rotating receiving chamber 201. The filter cleaning mechanism 3 includes a filter cleaning disc 301, which can slide inside the rotating receiving chamber 201 to receive dust inside the rotating receiving chamber 201. This allows the dust inside the rotating receiving chamber 201 to be displaced by the filter cleaning disc 301, facilitating the discharge of dust and making cleaning easier.

[0044] In addition, a filter cleaning shaft 302 is fixedly installed at one end of the filter cleaning disc 301, which facilitates the rotation of the filter cleaning guide plate 303, provides corresponding space for the installation of the filter cleaning guide plate 303, and enables the filter cleaning guide plate 303 to quickly return to its original position even if it is tilted.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a filter cleaning guide plate 303 is rotatably mounted on the filter cleaning shaft 302, which can seal the bottom edge of the filter cleaning disc 301, preventing dust from falling off the filter cleaning disc 301 and improving the convenience of dust cleaning. The filter cleaning shaft 302 is set through the filter cleaning guide plate 303.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a cleaning rotation spring 304 is installed between the filter cleaning shaft 302 and the filter cleaning guide plate 303, which can adjust the position of the filter cleaning guide plate 303 so that the filter cleaning guide plate 303 can quickly return to the correct position even if it is tilted.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a cleaning spring shaft 305 is fixedly installed inside the filter cleaning disc 301, which can fix the position of the cleaning spring ball 306, so that the cleaning spring ball 306 can quickly return even if it is impacted.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a cleaning elastic ball 306 is fixedly installed at one end of the cleaning elastic shaft 305 near the rotating filter chamber 202, which can collide with the rotating fan blade 206, causing the rotating filter chamber 202 to vibrate and causing the dust attached to the rotating filter chamber 202 to fall off.

[0049] In practical use, when the switch body 1 is running, the cooling fan 101 runs synchronously, allowing air to enter the rotating receiving chamber 201 from the rotating guide pipe 203. The air in the rotating receiving chamber 201 is filtered by the rotating filter chamber 202 before entering the switch body 1. After entering the rotating receiving chamber 201, the air blows the rotating fan blades 206, causing the rotating filter chamber 202 to rotate. This prevents one part of the rotating filter chamber 202 from being constantly exposed to the wind, reducing the chance of some parts of the rotating filter chamber 202 being clogged with dust. The cleaning elastic ball 306 can make the rotating filter chamber 202 vibrate, allowing the clogged dust to fall onto the filter cleaning disc 301, making it easier for the user to clean.

[0050] 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, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0051] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
