Abstract

A chassis with horizontal plugged frames includes an air inlet, a board area, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an air outlet. The air inlet is set in the board area and is linked to the first air chamber; the air outlet is set on a wall of the second air chamber where the second air chamber contacts external air; and the first air chamber is located on one side of the board area, and the second air chamber is located on the other side of the board area.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A chassis with horizontal plugged frames, comprising:
an air inlet, a board area, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an air outlet, wherein:
the air inlet is set in the board area and linked to the first air chamber;
the air outlet is set on a wall of the second air chamber;
the first air chamber is located on one side of the board area and linked to the board area; and
the second air chamber is located on the other side of the board area and linked to the board area; wherein:
the chassis with horizontal plugged frames further includes front boards and rear boards;
the chassis with horizontal plugged frames further comprises a front-to-rear channel;
the board area comprises a front board area and a rear board area; and
the air inlet is set in the front board area and is linked to the rear board area through the front-to-rear channel.

2. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 1 , wherein a fan is set in a linking area between the air inlet and the first air chamber.

3. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 1 , wherein a fan is set at the air outlet.

4. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 1 , wherein the air inlet is set in the board area, and the air inlet is set in a middle part of the board area; or the air inlet is laterally set at a preset position in the board area.

5. A communication device, comprising:
a plurality of boards and a chassis with horizontal plugged frames, wherein the chassis with horizontal plugged frames comprises: an air inlet, a board area, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an air outlet, wherein:
the air inlet is set in the board area and is linked to the first air chamber;
the air outlet is set on a wall of the second air chamber;
the first air chamber is located on one side of the board area and linked to the board area;
the second air chamber is located on the other side of the board area and linked to the board area; and
the plurality of boards are inserted in the board area; wherein:
the chassis with horizontal plugged frames further includes front boards and rear boards that are installed oppositely;
the chassis with horizontal plugged frames further comprises a front-to-rear channel;
the board area comprises a front board area and a rear board area; and
the air inlet is set in the front board area and is linked to the rear board area through the front-to-rear channel.

6. The communication device according to claim 5 , wherein a fan is set in a linking area between the air inlet and the first air chamber.

7. The communication device according to claim 5 , wherein a fan is set at the air outlet.

8. A chassis with horizontal plugged frames, comprising:
an air inlet, a board area, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an air outlet, wherein:
the air inlet is set in the board area and linked to the first air chamber;
the air outlet is set on a wall of the second air chamber;
the first air chamber is located on one side of the board area and linked to the board area; and
the second air chamber is located on the other side of the board area and linked to the board area; wherein:
the chassis with horizontal plugged frames further includes front boards and rear boards;
the board area comprises a front board area and a rear board area;
the air inlet is set in the front board area and is partitioned from the rear board area; and
the first air chamber is partitioned by a partition plate into a first front air chamber and a second front air chamber that correspond to the front board area and the rear board area, and a second air outlet is set on a rear wall of the second front air chamber.

9. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 8 , wherein a fan is set in a linking area between the air inlet and the first air chamber.

10. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 8 , wherein a fan is set at the air outlet.

11. The chassis with horizontal plugged frames according to claim 8 , wherein the air inlet is set in the board area, and the air inlet is set in a middle part of the board area; or the air inlet is laterally set at a preset position in the board area.

12. A communication device, comprising:
a plurality of boards and a chassis with horizontal plugged frames, wherein the chassis with horizontal plugged frames comprises: an air inlet, a board area, a first air chamber, a second air chamber, and an air outlet, wherein:
