Abstract

A radio remote unit, including a unit body, and multiple heat dissipation fins that are disposed on a surface of the body, where an opening groove is disposed on the heat dissipation fin, and opening grooves on the multiple heat dissipation fins form a fan ventilation groove, where the fan ventilation groove is connected to ventilation channels between the heat dissipation fins, and a fan is disposed in a built-in manner in the fan ventilation groove. The fan ventilation groove formed by the opening grooves on the multiple heat dissipation fins is connected to the ventilation channels between the heat dissipation fins, and the fan is disposed, which implements that in a case in which a quantity of heat dissipation fins is unchanged, the fan performs air cooling on the radio remote unit, effectively improving a heat dissipation capability.

Claims (27)

1. A radio remote unit comprising:

a plurality of heat dissipation fins disposed on a surface of the body, wherein an opening groove is disposed on the plurality of heat dissipation fins, wherein the opening groove on the plurality of heat dissipation fins form a fan ventilation groove, wherein the fan ventilation groove is coupled to a plurality of ventilation channels between the plurality of heat dissipation fins, and wherein a fan is arranged in the fan ventilation groove and located in a space surrounded by the plurality of heat dissipation fins and the body.

2. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein a hollow fan ventilation duct is disposed at the fan ventilation groove, wherein a height of the hollow fan ventilation duct is less than a height of the plurality of heat dissipation fins, wherein air outlets are disposed on an exterior wall along a height direction of the hollow fan ventilation duct, and wherein the air outlets are coupled to the plurality of ventilation channels between the plurality of heat dissipation fins.

3. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein the fan is disposed at an end of the fan ventilation groove.

4. The radio remote unit of claim 3 , wherein the fan is configured to blow airflow.

5. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein cross-sectional areas of N opening grooves of the fan ventilation groove gradually increase along a direction that is toward the fan such that the fan ventilation groove evenly allocates heat dissipation airflow, and wherein N is a quantity of the plurality of heat dissipation fins.

6. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein cross-sectional areas of N opening grooves of the fan ventilation groove stepwise increase along a direction that is toward the fan such that the fan ventilation groove evenly allocates heat dissipation airflow, and wherein N is a quantity of the multiple heat dissipation fins.

7. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein a flow direction of the fan is perpendicular to the surface of the body.

8. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein a flow direction of the fan is parallel with the surface of the body.

9. The radio remote unit of claim 8 , wherein the fan is disposed in the fan ventilation groove and away from the surface of the body.

10. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of heat dissipation fins are straight line segments parallel with each other or are of a curvilinear shape.

11. The radio remote unit of claim 1 , wherein the fan is a blade-rotating fan, piezoelectric fan, or a vibration fan configured to generate heat dissipation airflow.

12. A communications device comprising:

a radio remote unit comprising:

a body; and

a plurality of heat dissipation fins that are disposed on a surface of the body, wherein an opening groove is disposed on the plurality of heat dissipation fins, wherein the opening groove on the plurality of heat dissipation fins form a fan ventilation groove, wherein the fan ventilation groove is coupled to a plurality of ventilation channels between the plurality of heat dissipation fins, and wherein a fan is arranged in the fan ventilation groove and located in a space surrounded by the plurality of heat dissipation fins and the body;
