Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of Internet gateways, and in particular to an industrial Internet gateway. Background Art

[0002] Internet gateways are also called network connectors and protocol converters. Gateways realize network interconnection above the network layer. They are complex network interconnection devices and are only used for interconnection between two networks with different high-level protocols. Gateways can be used for both wide area network interconnection and local area network interconnection. Gateways are computer systems or devices that perform the important task of conversion. They are used between two systems with different communication protocols, data formats or languages, or even completely different architectures. Gateways are translators. Internet gateways usually work continuously and for a long time. Long-term operation will generate a lot of heat in the gateway. In order not to affect the normal use of the gateway, the heat needs to be dissipated in time.

[0003] In the prior art, the Internet gateway is cooled by installing a fan in the housing to cool the gateway.
