Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 2 The first embodiment of the present invention provides a gateway connector anti-detachment device, including: a transmission box 3 disposed on a gateway 1, a limiting plate assembly 4 movably disposed above the transmission box 3, a power plug interface 2, a rotating assembly rotatably disposed on the transmission box 3, a moving assembly movably disposed inside the transmission box 3, and a first clamping plate 16.

[0027] The transmission box 3 and the limiting plate assembly 4 form a chamber with the gateway 1. The power plug 2 is disposed in the chamber and is used to connect to the gateway 1. The first clamping plate 16 is disposed in the chamber and penetrates the side wall of the transmission box 3.

[0028] The limiting plate assembly 4 is configured to move between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the power connector 2 inside the cavity is exposed. In the second position, the side of the limiting plate assembly 4 is opposite to the power connector 2.

[0029] The rotating component is configured to drive the moving component to move between a third position and a fourth position within the transmission box 3. In the third position, the moving component is connected to the first clamping plate 16 and limits the current position of the first clamping plate 16. In the fourth position, the moving component is separated from the first clamping plate 16 and does not limit the current position of the first clamping plate 16.

[0030] In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the limiting plate assembly 4 includes a limiting plate 41 movably disposed above the transmission box 3 and a second clamping plate 42 disposed on a first side of the limiting plate 41, wherein, in the second position, the second side of the limiting plate 41 is opposite to the power plug interface 2, and the second clamping plate 42 is opposite to the first clamping plate 16.

[0031] Most gateway interfaces on the market have low connection stability and are prone to detachment during use, which hinders the use of power IoT gateways and affects their normal operation.

[0032] Specifically, in this embodiment, when using the gateway connector anti-detachment device, the user can move the limiting plate assembly 4 to the first position, that is, lift the limiting plate 41 upwards to connect the connector to the power socket 2, and then move the limiting plate assembly 4 to the second position, that is, reset the limiting plate 41; then manually rotate the rotating assembly to drive the moving assembly to the third position in the transmission box 3, limiting the first clamping plate 16. The connector will be fixed by the first clamping plate 16 and the second clamping plate of the limiting plate assembly 4, which solves the problem that the connector is prone to falling off during connection, increases the functionality of clamping the connector, makes the connector have a highly efficient anti-detachment effect, prevents the connector from being unstable in connection with the power socket, and increases the stability of the connector and improves working efficiency.

[0033] Please see Figures 3 to 4 In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the rotating assembly includes a rotating block 6, a rotating rod 7, and a first helical gear 8, wherein the rotating block 6 is disposed on the outer wall of the transmission box 3, the rotating rod 7 passes through the transmission box 3, the first end of the rotating rod 7 is connected to the rotating block 6, and the second end of the rotating rod 7 is connected to the first helical gear 8.

[0034] Specifically, in this embodiment, when the gateway connector anti-disconnection device is used, the connector is connected to the power socket 2. At this time, the limiting plate 41 will drive the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16 into the transmission box 3. The user rotates the rotating block 6 to drive the rotating rod 7 to rotate, and the rotating rod 7 will also drive the first helical gear 8 to rotate. It should be noted that in other embodiments, other types of rotating components can also be used, which are not specifically limited here, but these solutions are all within the protection scope of this invention.

[0035] In one possible embodiment of the invention, the outer surface of the rotating block 6 is provided with anti-slip texture 17.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the anti-slip texture 17 is provided on the outer surface of the rotating block 6 to increase the contact friction between the rotating block 6 and the user's fingers, so that the user can rotate the rotating block 6 more conveniently.

[0037] In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the rotating assembly further includes a support sleeve 18, which is sleeved on the rotating rod.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the main function of the support sleeve 18 is to provide support to ensure the normal use of the rotating rod 7.

[0039] In one possible embodiment of the present invention, the moving component includes a turntable 10, a second helical gear 9 disposed on the turntable 10, a movable plate 11, a guide rod 13 disposed on the transmission box 3, a moving block 12 movably disposed on the guide rod 13, a transmission plate 14 disposed on the moving block 12, and a limiting rod 15 disposed on the transmission plate 14, wherein the second helical gear 9 is connected to the first helical gear 8, and the turntable 10 is connected to the movable plate 11.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, since the first helical gear 8 and the second helical gear 9 are meshed, when the first helical gear 8 rotates, it can mesh with and drive the second helical gear 9 to rotate. The second helical gear 9 then drives the turntable 10 to rotate. At this time, the turntable 10 can drive the movable plate 11 to move to the right. The movable plate 11 drives the moving block 12 to move to the right on the surface of the guide rod 13, thereby driving the transmission plate 14 and the limiting rod 15 on the moving block 12 to move to the right together. The limiting rod 15 limits the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16, and the first clamping plate 16 will move closer to the second clamping plate 42 to fix the joint. It should be noted that in other embodiments, other types of moving components can also be used, which are not specifically limited here, but these solutions are all within the protection scope of this invention.

[0041] In one possible embodiment of the invention, it further includes a groove 21 formed on the inner wall of the transmission box 3, and a slider 20 movably disposed in the groove 21.

[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the slider 20 is connected to the first end of the transmission plate 14, and the transmission plate 14 can move left and right within the range of the slide groove 21 under the drive of the moving block 12; wherein, the main function of the slide groove 21 and the slider 20 is to limit the movement range of the rotating plate 14.

[0043] In one possible embodiment of the invention, an airbag 22 disposed inside the transmission box 3 is further included, wherein the airbag 22 abuts against the transmission plate 14.

[0044] Specifically, in this embodiment, another limiting method is also provided. The user rotates the anti-slip texture 17 to drive the first helical gear 8 to rotate, thereby driving the limiting rod 15 to move. It should be noted that at this time, the limiting rod 15 moves to the left, compressing the airbag 22. At the same time, the user inserts the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16 into the transmission box 3, and then releases the anti-slip texture 17. The rebound characteristic of the airbag 22 is used to bounce the limiting rod 15 back to the right, so that the limiting rod 15 contacts the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16, thereby limiting the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16. The first clamping plate 16 will move closer to the second clamping plate 42 to fix the joint.

[0045] In summary, when using the gateway connector anti-detachment device, the user can move the limiting plate assembly 4 to the first position, that is, lift the limiting plate 41 upwards to connect the connector to the power socket 2; then move the limiting plate assembly 4 to the second position, that is, reset the limiting plate 41. The limiting plate 41 drives the locking rod 5 of the first clamping plate 16 into the interior of the transmission box 3. The user rotates the rotating block 6 through the anti-slip texture 17. The rotating block 6 drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate. The rotating rod 7 drives the first helical gear 8 to rotate. A helical gear 8 meshes with a second helical gear 9, thereby driving the second helical gear 9 to rotate. The second helical gear 9 drives the turntable 10 to rotate, and the turntable 10 drives the movable plate 11 to move to the right. The movable plate 11 drives the moving block 12 to move to the right on the surface of the guide rod 13. The moving block 12 drives the transmission plate 14 to move to the right, and the transmission plate 14 drives the limiting rod 15 to move to the right. The limiting rod 15 limits the locking lever 5 of the first clamping plate 16. The first clamping plate 16 and the second clamping plate 42 close together to fix the connector. In short, the gateway connector anti-detachment device increases the functionality of clamping the connector, giving the connector a highly efficient anti-detachment effect, preventing the connector from being unstable in its connection with the power socket, and increasing the stability of the connector and improving working efficiency.
