All other embodiments, which can be made by one of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments herein without making any inventive effort, are intended to be within the scope of the present application.

In the embodiments of the present application, the words "first," "second," "third," "fourth," etc. are used to distinguish between the same item or similar items that have substantially the same function and function, and are merely used to clearly describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application, and they are not to be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implying that the number of technical features indicated is indicated. In addition, the meaning of "a plurality of" means two or more, and the meaning of "at least one" means one or more, unless specifically defined otherwise.

An embodiment of the present application provides a client front-end device, as shown with reference to fig. 1, including: a base 1, a host (not marked in fig. 1), a driving assembly 3 and a rotating assembly 4; the host comprises a housing 20 and the base 1 comprises a substrate 10.

Referring to fig. 1, both ends of the driving assembly 3 are fixed to the housing 20 and the rotating assembly 4, respectively; the housing is configured to spin as the drive assembly rotates.

Referring to fig. 1, the rotating assembly 4 is fixed to the base 10 and is configured to drive the driving assembly to rotate.

Wherein, referring to fig. 1, the housing 20 includes at least one first sidewall 21 and at least one second sidewall 22; referring to fig. 2 and 3, the first and second sidewalls are respectively annular in cross-section along a rotation axis perpendicular to the driving assembly. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the first sidewall along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the driving assembly, and fig. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the second sidewall along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the driving assembly.

Referring to fig. 1, the first side wall 21 includes at least one first suction hole 211 configured to allow external cool air to enter the inside of the main body therethrough during rotation of the housing; the second side wall 22 includes at least one first heat dissipation hole 221 configured to be discharged through the hot air inside the host during the rotation of the housing.

In the housing of the host, the first side wall and the second side wall are respectively annular along the section perpendicular to the rotation shaft of the driving assembly; the ring may be a circular ring, or another ring such as an annular ring, which is not limited herein. If the ring is a circular ring, the circular ring can be completely closed or can be partially discontinuous, and the position of the circular ring is determined according to the section cutting position. For example, the first side wall is taken as an example, and if the first side wall does not pass through the first suction hole along a section perpendicular to the rotation axis of the driving assembly, the section is a closed ring; if the first sidewall passes through the first suction hole along a section perpendicular to the rotation axis of the driving assembly, the section is a discontinuous ring as shown in fig. 2, and the discontinuity corresponds to the first suction hole 211.

The housing of the host may include a first side wall and a second side wall connected to each other, the first side wall being closer to the substrate than the second side wall; alternatively, the housing of the host may further include a plurality of first sidewalls and a plurality of second sidewalls, the plurality of first sidewalls and the plurality of second sidewalls being spaced apart. The description is not intended to be limiting. Fig. 1 of the embodiment of the present application illustrates an example in which the housing includes a first side wall and a second side wall connected to each other.

The housing of the host machine may be any of a cylindrical shape, a right circular truncated cone shape, and an inverted circular truncated cone shape, which is not limited herein. Fig. 1 of the embodiment of the present application is an example of a cylindrical housing.

The specific structure of the driving assembly and the rotating assembly is not limited, and the driving assembly may include a driving lever and the rotating assembly may include a motor, for example.

The specific shape, size and number of the first suction holes and the first heat dissipation holes are not limited, and may be specifically selected according to practical situations.

It should be noted that, the rotating assembly may drive the driving assembly to rotate when the internal temperature of the host is greater than a first preset value; the specific value of the first preset value needs to be determined according to the heat resistance of each part in the customer premise equipment. For example, if the internal temperature of the host computer is 50 °, the product performance is affected, and the first preset value needs to be less than or equal to 50 °, and may specifically be set to 35 °, 40 °, 45 °, 50 °, and so on.

The client front-end device may further include an antenna configured to transmit WiFi signals and receive signals of 4G, 5G, etc.; the antenna may be provided inside the host computer or may be provided on the housing of the host computer, which is not particularly limited herein.

The embodiment of the application provides customer prepositive equipment, wherein under the condition that the internal temperature of a host is larger than a first preset value, a driving assembly rotates under the driving of a rotating assembly, and a shell of the host also rotates along with the driving assembly; then in the rotation process of the shell, external air enters the host through the first suction hole and becomes hot air after absorbing heat, and then is discharged to the outside of the host through the first heat dissipation hole, so that rapid heat dissipation is realized, and the stability of product performance and user experience are greatly improved.

Optionally, to reduce manufacturing difficulty, referring to fig. 1, the housing 20 includes a first sidewall 21 and a second sidewall 22 connected, where the first sidewall 21 is closer to the substrate 10 than the second sidewall 22.

Optionally, the housing includes an outer surface and an inner surface. Referring to fig. 2, an included angle β between an opening direction A1O1 of the first suction hole 211 and a tangential direction O1D1 of the first sidewall at a first opening point O1 is an acute angle, wherein the first opening point is an intersection point of the opening direction of the first suction hole and an outer surface of the first sidewall.

Referring to fig. 2, when the first sidewall rotates in the C1C2 direction, the linear velocity direction of the first sidewall at the first opening point O1 is the same as the tangential direction O1D1, and the closer the opening direction A1O1 of the first suction hole 211 is to the tangential direction O1D1, the easier the outside air is to enter from the first suction hole 211, and at the same time, the air inside the main unit is hardly discharged from the first suction hole 211.

Referring to fig. 3, an included angle between an opening direction A2O2 of the first heat dissipation hole 221 and a tangential direction O2D2 of the second sidewall at a second opening point O2 is an obtuse angle α, where the second opening point is an intersection point of the opening direction of the first heat dissipation hole and an outer surface of the second sidewall.

Referring to fig. 3, when the second sidewall rotates along the C1C2 direction, the linear velocity direction of the second sidewall at the second opening point O2 is the same as the tangential direction O2D2, and the more the opening direction A2O2 of the first heat dissipation hole 221 is away from the tangential direction O2D2, the more difficult it is for the external air to enter from the first heat dissipation hole 221, and at the same time, the more easily it is for the air inside the host to be discharged from the first heat dissipation hole 221.

Alternatively, in order to further improve the efficiency of the first suction hole for absorbing the external air and the efficiency of the first heat dissipation hole for exhausting the air inside the main unit, the obtuse angle may be greater than 150 ° and the acute angle may be less than 30 °. By way of example, the obtuse angle may be 160 °, 165 °, 170 °, 175 °, etc. The acute angle may be 18 °, 22 °, 25 °, 28 °, etc.

Further alternatively, the first suction hole includes a first outer side opening and a first inner side opening, and the size of the first outer side opening is larger than the size of the first inner side opening.

The first outside opening is arranged on the outer surface of the first side wall, the first inside opening is arranged on the inner surface of the first side wall, and the size of the first outside opening is larger than that of the first inside opening, so that in the rotation process of the shell, the outside air is more favorable to enter from the first outside opening and reach the inside of the host through the first inside opening.

Further optionally, the first heat dissipating hole includes a second outside opening and a second inside opening, and a size of the second outside opening is smaller than a size of the second inside opening.

The second outside opening is arranged on the outer surface of the second side wall, the second inside opening is arranged on the inner surface of the second side wall, and the size of the second outside opening is smaller than that of the second inside opening, so that in the rotation process of the shell, the air in the host machine is more beneficial to entering from the second inside opening and being discharged to the outside of the host machine through the second outside opening.

Optionally, the first suction hole and the first heat dissipation hole each include any one of triangle, rectangle, square, trapezoid, and circle along a section parallel to the rotation axis of the driving assembly. The first suction hole and the first heat dissipation hole may have the same cross section parallel to the rotation axis of the driving assembly, or may be different, and are not limited herein. The former is preferable in view of simplifying the manufacturing process.

Alternatively, referring to fig. 1, a plurality of first suction holes 211 are arranged in an array, and a plurality of first heat dissipation holes 221 are arranged in an array. Like this, the distribution of a plurality of first suction ports and a plurality of first louvre is comparatively even, at the rotation in-process of shell, is favorable to more outside air to get into, is favorable to more host computer inside air to discharge simultaneously, and then improves radiating efficiency.

It should be noted that the plurality of first suction holes 211 may be arranged in a conventional array manner as shown in fig. 1. Alternatively, the plurality of first suction holes may be arranged in a staggered array, and for example, the first suction holes of two adjacent rows are located in different columns. If the first suction holes are distributed in a staggered array mode, the space can be saved, and the first suction holes with more numbers are arranged, so that the efficiency of sucking outside air is improved.

In addition, the number of rows and columns of the array arrangement is not limited here. By way of example, the plurality of first suction holes 211 may be arranged in a plurality of rows and columns as shown in fig. 1. Alternatively, the plurality of first suction holes may be arranged in parallel along a first direction, and the first direction may be parallel to or intersect with the rotation axis of the driving assembly; at this time, the first suction hole may be provided in a long strip shape.

The meaning of the above-mentioned plurality of first heat dissipation hole array arrangements is similar to the meaning of the above-mentioned plurality of first suction hole array arrangements, and will not be described here again.

Optionally, the housing further comprises a top wall, and the second side wall is disposed around and connected to the top wall. Referring to fig. 4, the driving assembly includes a driving lever 31, and the rotating assembly includes a motor 41; both ends of the driving lever 31 are fixed to a top wall (not labeled in fig. 4) and a motor 41, respectively.

The motor may be disposed on a base of the base; the driving rod and the top wall may be fixed by welding, bolts, etc., and are not limited herein.

Thus, after the motor drives the driving rod to rotate, the shell rotates along with the driving rod; the structure is simple and easy to realize.

The external air enters the host through the first suction hole and becomes hot air after absorbing heat, the hot air is higher in temperature and small in density, and after rising upwards, the hot air is further discharged to the outside of the host from the first radiating hole. In order to increase the rising speed of the hot air and thus increase the heat dissipation efficiency, further alternatively, referring to fig. 4, the customer premise equipment further includes a fan 51; the fan 51 is fixed to the motor 41 and configured to rotate by the motor to blow air inside the main body at a side near the base toward the top wall.

In the customer premise equipment provided with the fan, the bottom of the host is not provided with the housing (i.e., the housing does not include the bottom wall), so that the fan blows air toward the top wall. Referring to fig. 6, the external cool air enters the inside of the main unit through the first suction holes 211 of the first side wall, rapidly rises upward by the blowing force of the fan 51 after absorbing heat, and finally is discharged to the outside of the main unit through the first heat dissipation holes 221 of the second side wall. In fig. 6, the second sidewall is above the dashed line AB, and the first sidewall is below the dashed line AB. It should be noted that the cold air and the hot air shown in fig. 5 and 6 are only relative concepts, and only to better describe the thermal cycle. Further alternatively, in order to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency, referring to fig. 4, the top wall of the housing includes a plurality of second heat dissipation holes 222, and the second heat dissipation holes 222 are configured such that during rotation of the fan, air blown to the top wall from the inside of the host is discharged through the second heat dissipation holes 222.

The infrared unit may comprise an infrared emitting signal lamp 5 as shown in fig. 8, or an infrared receiver 7. In order to ensure that infrared signals can be covered at all angles, a large number of infrared emission signal lamps are generally arranged; however, in the customer premise equipment of the application, the infrared unit can rotate along with the rotation of the circuit board, so that multi-angle coverage is realized. For example, referring to fig. 8, the infrared emission signal lamps 5 may rotate along the direction of C1C2 along with the circuit board 6, so that full-angle coverage can be achieved only by setting a smaller number of infrared emission signal lamps 5, thereby greatly reducing the number of infrared units used and further reducing the cost.
