Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial control computer technology, specifically to an industrial control computer equipped with a ball bearing fan for heat dissipation. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial control computers, also known as industrial control computers, are a general term for tools that use a bus structure to monitor and control production processes, electromechanical equipment, and process equipment. Industrial control computers have important computer attributes and characteristics, such as a computer CPU, hard disk, memory, peripherals and interfaces, as well as an operating system, control network and protocols, computing power, and a user-friendly human-machine interface. The products and technologies of the industrial control industry are very special, belonging to intermediate products, and are reliable, embedded, and intelligent industrial computers provided to other industries.

[0003] In the existing technology, the ball bearing fan is installed on the top of the industrial control computer to dissipate heat from inside the computer. However, because the ball bearing fan is far from the equipment at the bottom of the industrial control computer, the equipment at the bottom of the computer is covered by heat, which affects the equipment.

[0004] Therefore, an industrial control computer with ball bearing fan cooling is proposed to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an industrial control computer with ball bearing fan cooling, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: including an industrial computer body, wherein an air outlet is provided on the top of the industrial computer body, a ball bearing fan body is mounted on the top of the inner wall of the industrial computer body, and a heat exhaust mechanism is mounted inside the industrial computer body.

[0007] The heat dissipation mechanism includes a connecting pipe, a motor, a heat absorption hole, a protective shell assembly, and a fan. The side of the connecting pipe is mounted on the inner wall of the industrial computer body. The back of the motor is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting pipe. The heat absorption hole is opened on the outer wall of the connecting pipe. The front of the protective shell assembly is fixedly connected to the back of the inner wall of the connecting pipe. The fan is mounted inside the protective shell assembly. The industrial computer body is equipped with a transmission assembly that drives the motor and the fan.

[0008] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first rotating rod, a first bevel gear, a second rotating rod, and a second bevel gear. The first rotating rod is rotatably connected to the back side of the inner wall of the connecting pipe via a bearing, and the front side of the first bevel gear is fixedly connected to the back side of the first rotating rod.

[0009] Preferably, the second rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective shell assembly via a bearing, and the lower surface of the second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second rotating rod.

[0010] Preferably, the fan is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped surface of the second rotating rod.

[0011] Preferably, the first rotating rod movably penetrates the protective shell assembly, the extension end of the first rotating rod extends toward the front of the motor, and the extension end of the first rotating rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0012] Preferably, the protective shell assembly includes an inclined surface, an arc surface, and a flow guide groove. The inclined surface is formed on the lower surface of the protective shell assembly, the arc surface is formed on the upper surface of the protective shell assembly, and the flow guide groove is formed on both sides of the protective shell assembly.

[0013] Preferably, an inclined tube is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting tube, the inclined tube and the connecting tube are hollow inside, and the top of the inclined tube is located at the bottom of the ball fan body.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides an industrial control computer with ball bearing fan cooling, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By using the connecting pipe and the heat absorption holes on its side, combined with the suction force generated by the rotation of the fan, the heat of the equipment at the bottom of the industrial control computer can be quickly gathered into the inside of the connecting pipe. This changes the traditional heat dissipation method where heat is slowly dissipated from the surface of the equipment. Instead, it actively collects the heat, preventing it from accumulating around the bottom for a long time. Then, the heat is guided along the connecting pipe and the inclined pipe to the position of the ball fan body, and finally discharged into the interior of the industrial control computer through the ball fan body. The direct path from the heat generation point to the heat dissipation outlet greatly accelerates the heat dissipation speed and reduces the residence time of heat inside the industrial control computer.

[0016] Second, the inclined surface of the protective shell assembly can guide the hot air rising from the bottom of the industrial control computer to the air inlet of the ball fan body more widely and smoothly, reducing the resistance to airflow and preventing turbulence or stagnation of air at the bottom of the shell.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] 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.

[0024] Example

[0025] See Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an industrial computer with ball bearing fan cooling, including an industrial computer body 1, an air outlet 3 on the top of the industrial computer body 1, a ball bearing fan body 4 mounted on the top of the inner wall of the industrial computer body 1, and a heat exhaust mechanism 2 mounted inside the industrial computer body 1.

[0026] The heat dissipation mechanism 2 includes a connecting pipe 21, a motor 22, a heat absorption hole 23, a protective shell assembly 26, and a fan 29. The side of the connecting pipe 21 is mounted on the inner wall of the industrial computer body 1. The back of the motor 22 is fixedly connected to the front of the connecting pipe 21. The heat absorption hole 23 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting pipe 21. The front of the protective shell assembly 26 is fixedly connected to the back of the inner wall of the connecting pipe 21. The fan 29 is mounted inside the protective shell assembly 26. The transmission assembly of the drive motor 22 and the fan 29 is installed inside the industrial computer body 1.

[0027] When the motor 22 is started, the motor 22 drives the fan 29 to rotate through the transmission component. When the fan 29 rotates, its special curved shape makes the air on the front of the fan blades have to travel a longer path than the air on the back to converge at the tail of the fan blades. In order to reach the tail at the same time, the air on the front must accelerate. The air flow speed on the front of the fan blades is fast, so the pressure is low, while the air flow speed on the back of the fan blades is relatively slow, so the pressure is high. This creates a pressure difference, which generates suction inside the connecting pipe 21. The heat from the equipment at the bottom is drawn into the connecting pipe 21 through multiple sets of heat absorption holes 23. The heat moves towards the ball fan body 4 and is finally discharged from the industrial control computer body 1 through the ball fan body 4.

[0028] The transmission assembly includes a first rotating rod 24, a first bevel gear 25, a second rotating rod 27, and a second bevel gear 28. The first rotating rod 24 is rotatably connected to the back of the inner wall of the connecting pipe 21 via a bearing, and the front of the first bevel gear 25 is fixedly connected to the back of the first rotating rod 24.

[0029] The second rotating rod 27 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the protective shell assembly 26 via a bearing, and the lower surface of the second bevel gear 28 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the second rotating rod 27.

[0030] Motor 22 drives the first rotating rod 24 to rotate, the first rotating rod 24 drives the first bevel gear 25 to rotate, the first bevel gear 25 drives the second bevel gear 28 to rotate, the second bevel gear 28 drives the second rotating rod 27 to rotate, and the second rotating rod 27 drives the fan 29 to rotate.

[0031] Fan 29 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the arc-shaped surface of the second rotating rod 27.

[0032] The first rotating rod 24 movably penetrates the protective shell assembly 26, and the extension end of the first rotating rod 24 extends toward the front of the motor 22. The extension end of the first rotating rod 24 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 22.

[0033] The protective shell assembly 26 includes an inclined surface 261, an arc surface 262, and a flow guide groove 263. The inclined surface 261 is formed on the lower surface of the protective shell assembly 26, the arc surface 262 is formed on the upper surface of the protective shell assembly 26, and the flow guide groove 263 is formed on both sides of the protective shell assembly 26.

[0034] The inclined surface 261 can more widely and smoothly guide the hot air rising from the bottom of the industrial control computer body 1 to the air inlet of the ball fan body 4, reducing the resistance of airflow and avoiding turbulence or stagnation of air at the bottom of the housing. This ensures that heat is efficiently drawn into the connecting pipe 21. The top of the arc surface 262 perfectly conforms to the natural path of airflow and can smoothly guide the high-speed airflow to change direction, greatly reducing eddies and resistance caused by sudden changes in direction. When the fan 29 is drawing air in, a local low-pressure area may be formed on the side, which may interfere with the mainstream airflow. The guide groove 263 can allow a small amount of air to flow in, balance the pressure, and ensure that the heat transferred by the fan 29 is stable.

[0035] An inclined tube is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting tube 21. The inclined tube and the connecting tube 21 are hollow inside, and the top of the inclined tube is located at the bottom of the ball fan body 4.

[0036] The inclined tube and connecting tube 21 are hollow inside. The hot air drawn in by the fan 29 will be directly transported to the top of the industrial computer body 1 through the connecting tube 21 and the inclined tube, reaching the bottom of the ball fan body 4. This prevents the hot air from diffusing back into other areas of the industrial computer during the rising process, avoids secondary heating of other components, and ensures that the heat is accurately directed to the final outlet.

[0037] The installation, connection, or setting methods disclosed in this embodiment are all common mechanical connection methods. As long as they can achieve their beneficial effects, they can be implemented. Therefore, this embodiment will not elaborate on their specific structural composition and working principle.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
