[0013] This application provides a heat dissipation shell structure for an edge computing gateway, effectively solving the technical problem that existing gateway bodies 1 require regular cleaning of the dustproof mesh 31 to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 3 and the dustproof mesh 31. However, the dustproof mesh 31 is located inside the gateway body 1, and existing cleaning brushes have difficulty contacting the dustproof mesh 31, making cleaning inconvenient. Furthermore, cleaning may cause dust to fly and scatter into the inner wall of the gateway body 1, affecting the operation of the electronic components inside the gateway body 1. This device, by setting an L-shaped cover plate 4 and a first spring 43, allows the mounting groove 11 and the side end of the dustproof mesh 31 to be covered before cleaning by pressing the L-shaped cover plate 4 downward. This prevents dust from scattering into the inner wall of the gateway body 1 during cleaning, providing an effective protective effect when cleaning dust.
[0014] Example: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The technical solution described in this application effectively solves the problem that, in order to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 3 and the dustproof net 31, the existing gateway body 1 needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the heat sink 3 and the dustproof net 31. However, the dustproof net 31 is located inside the gateway body 1, and the existing cleaning brush has difficulty contacting the dustproof net 31, making cleaning inconvenient. Moreover, cleaning may cause dust to fly and scatter into the inner wall of the gateway body 1, affecting the operation of the electronic components inside the gateway body 1. The overall idea is as follows: an edge computing gateway heat dissipation shell structure, including a gateway body 1, is provided with a dust removal mechanism for easy heat dissipation and dust removal. The dust removal mechanism includes a drawer 2, a heat sink 3, an L-shaped cover plate 4, and a cleaning brush 5. The heat sink 3 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the gateway body 1, and the heat sink 3 is located at both ends of the gateway body 1. The L-shaped cover plate 4 is located at the side end of the heat sink 3. The cleaning brush 5 is slidably installed. The upper end of the gateway body 1, mounted on the L-shaped cover plate 4, has two movable slots 13. Both sides of the gateway body 1 have mounting slots 11. The lower end of the inner sidewall of each of the two mounting slots 11 has a dust discharge slot 12. Dust collection boxes 21 are slidably installed on the side ends of each of the two drawer slots 2. Two heat dissipation plates 3 are fixedly installed on the inner sidewall of the mounting slots 11. Dustproof nets 31 are fixedly installed on the side ends of each of the two heat dissipation plates 3. The two dust discharge slots 12 are located at the lower end of the dustproof nets 31. The gateway body 1 is the core hub connecting IoT terminal devices and the cloud platform. It has both "local data processing" and "remote collaborative management" capabilities. During the use of the gateway body 1, heat dissipation is required through the heat dissipation plates 3. Dustproof nets 31 are set on the side ends of the heat dissipation plates 3 to dissipate heat and prevent dust from entering the gateway body 1 through the heat dissipation plates 3 during heat dissipation. Two L-shaped covers 4 are slidably installed on the inner side wall of the movable groove 13. A first spring 43 is fixedly installed between the two L-shaped covers 4 and the inner side wall of the gateway body 1. An embedded groove 41 is opened at the side end of each of the two L-shaped covers 4. A pressure plate 42 is fixedly installed at the side end of each of the two L-shaped covers 4. When the dustproof net 31 is used for a long time, dust will adhere to the dustproof net 31. When the user needs to clean the dustproof net 31, he can press the pressure plate 42 first. The pressure plate 42 moves downward and drives the L-shaped covers 4 to move downward in the movable groove 13. At this time, the first spring 43 is compressed and the L-shaped covers 4 move downward and cover the side end of the dustproof net 31. Two cleaning brushes 5 are slidably installed on the inner side wall of the recessed groove 41. Two sliding rods 51 are fixedly installed on the upper end of each of the two cleaning brushes 5. A top plate 52 is fixedly installed on the upper end of each pair of sliding rods 51. Two second springs 53 are fixedly installed between the two top plates 52 and the gateway body 1. The two second springs 53 are located on the outer side wall of the two sliding rods 51 respectively. At this time, the user can press the top plate 52 again. At this time, the second springs 53 are compressed. The top plate 52 moves downward, which will drive the cleaning brushes 5 downward through the sliding rods 51. The downward movement of the cleaning brushes 5 will scrape and clean the dust screen 31. The dust attached to the dust screen 31 will be scraped off and fall into the dust collection box 21 through the dust outlet 12. When the cleaning brushes 5 scrape the dust off the dust screen 31, the L-shaped cover plate 4 protects the side of the mounting groove 11, preventing the dust from escaping into the interior of the gateway body 1 during scraping and cleaning.
[0015] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a heat dissipation shell structure for an edge computing gateway. This device, by setting an L-shaped cover plate 4 and a first spring 43, allows the mounting groove 11 and the side end of the dustproof net 31 to be covered before cleaning by pressing the L-shaped cover plate 4 downwards. This prevents dust from escaping into the inner wall of the gateway body 1 during cleaning, thus providing an effective protective effect when cleaning dust.
[0016] Working principle: Gateway 1 is the core hub connecting IoT terminal devices and the cloud platform, possessing both "local data processing" and "remote collaborative management" capabilities. During use, gateway 1 requires heat dissipation via heat sink 3. A dustproof mesh 31 is installed on the side of heat sink 3 to both dissipate heat and prevent dust from entering gateway 1 through the heat sink 3. Over time, dust will accumulate on the dustproof mesh 31. To clean the dustproof mesh 31, press the pressure plate 42; the pressure plate 42 will move downwards, causing the L-shaped cover 4 to move. The L-shaped cover 4 moves downward within the groove 13, compressing the first spring 43. This causes the L-shaped cover 4 to move downward and cover the side end of the dustproof net 31. The user can then press the top plate 52 again, compressing the second spring 53. The downward movement of the top plate 52, via the slide rod 51, causes the cleaning brush 5 to move downward. The cleaning brush 5 scrapes and cleans the dustproof net 31, removing dust adhering to it. The dust falls through the dust outlet 12 into the dust collection box 21. While the cleaning brush 5 scrapes dust from the dustproof net 31, the L-shaped cover 4 protects the side end of the mounting groove 11 from dust. To protect the gateway body 1 from dust escaping during cleaning, this device incorporates an L-shaped cover 4 and a first spring 43. In existing gateway bodies, the dust filter 31 requires regular cleaning to ensure effective heat dissipation of the heat sink 3 and dust filter 31. However, the dust filter 31 is located inside the gateway body 1, making it difficult for existing cleaning brushes to reach it, resulting in inconvenient cleaning and potential dust escaping into the inner wall of the gateway body 1, affecting the operation of internal electronic components. This device addresses this by using an L-shaped cover 4 and a first spring 43. Before cleaning the dust filter 31, the L-shaped cover 4 can be pressed to prevent dust from entering the gateway body 1. 4. Move downwards to cover the side ends of the mounting slot 11 and dustproof net 31 before cleaning. This prevents dust from escaping into the inner wall of the gateway body 1 during cleaning, providing effective protection when cleaning dust. In addition, this device is equipped with a cleaning brush 5 and a dustproof net 31 working together. When cleaning the dustproof net 31, pressing the top plate 52 will drive the cleaning brush 5 to clean the dustproof net 31. Cleaning is convenient and does not require disassembling the heat sink 3 and the dustproof net 31. It can fully contact the dustproof net 31 for cleaning, resulting in good cleaning effect. A removable dust collection box 21 is provided to effectively collect dust.
[0017] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
