Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a router, and in particular to a router with a Bluetooth module used in industrial Internet of Things scenarios. Background Art

[0002] Routers can store and forward data packets between different networks. In network communications, routers have the function of determining network addresses and selecting IP paths. They can build flexible link systems in multiple network environments and link various subnets through different data grouping and media access methods. During operation, routers only accept information transmitted by the source station or other related routers. They are interconnected devices based on the network layer.

[0003] When routers are used in industrial fields, there are many industrial devices in the industrial environment that need to transmit signals through the router, and the distribution of industrial equipment is relatively random. When traditional routers transmit signals, the antenna position on the router is fixed, resulting in insufficient transmission of signals from the router to the industrial equipment. The antenna position on the router is fixed, resulting in a small range of received signals, which easily leads to unstable signal transmission. At the same time, if the router only relies on signal transmission between multiple industrial devices, the router is prone to overload, causing the router to generate a lot of heat, and the router is prone to crash due to excessive heat generation.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Example 1

The servo motor 21 is installed in the middle of the upper side of the base plate 1 by bolts. The drive shaft 22 is fixed to the output shaft of the servo motor 21. The drive shaft 22 is vertically arranged. The router bottom plate 31 is fixed to the top of the drive shaft 22. The router housing 32 is arranged on the upper side of the router bottom plate 31. The router top cover 33 is fixed to the top of the router housing 32. The router housing 32 is provided with a plurality of transverse grooves. The reciprocating motion component 4 is arranged on the base plate 1, and the reciprocating motion component 4 is used to improve the stability of the transmission signal. The antenna swing mechanism 5 is arranged on the reciprocating motion component 4 and is connected to the router top cover 33. The antenna swing mechanism 5 is used to further improve the stability of the transmission signal. Two swing plates 61 are rotatably connected to the upper part of the router shell 32. The two swing plates 61 are symmetrically arranged, and the swing plates 61 are in contact with the uppermost transverse groove of the router shell 32. The swing plates 61 block the uppermost transverse groove of the router shell 32. The Bluetooth module 62 is arranged on the swing plate 61. The Bluetooth module 62 is used to transmit signals of some industrial equipment that is relatively close.

[0027] The reciprocating motion component 4 includes an annular slide rail 41, a cam plate 42, a movable rod 43, a connecting frame 44 and a router mainboard 45. The annular slide rail 41 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the base plate 1, and the cam plate 42 is slidably connected to the annular slide rail 41. The cam plate 42 is located above the annular slide rail 41. Two movable rods 43 are slidably connected to the router housing 32. The two movable rods 43 are symmetrically arranged, and the upper side of the cam plate 42 contacts the bottom end of the movable rod 43. The router bottom plate 31 is located above the cam plate 42. The movable rod 43 rotates to contact the raised portion on the cam plate 42, and the raised portion on the cam plate 42 squeezes the movable rod 43 to move upward. The two movable rods 43 are commonly fixed with a connecting frame 44 at one end away from the cam plate 42. The upward movement of the two movable rods 43 drives the connecting frame 44 to move upward. The connecting frame 44 is located in the router housing 32, and the router mainboard 45 is fixedly mounted in the connecting frame 44.

[0028] The antenna swing mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51, a slotted swing antenna rod 52 and a round rod 1 53. Four support plates 51 are fixedly connected to the outside of the router housing 32. The slotted swing antenna rod 52 is rotatably connected to the support plate 51, and the lower part of the slotted swing antenna rod 52 passes through the router housing 32. The slotted swing antenna rod 52 is used to transmit or receive wireless signals. Four round rods 1 53 are fixedly connected to the connecting frame 44. The round rod 1 53 is slidably connected to the sliding hole at the lower part of the slotted swing antenna rod 52. The round rod 1 53 is used to adjust the angle of the slotted swing antenna rod 52 with the slotted swing antenna rod 52, so that the slotted swing antenna rod 52 can better transmit wireless signals, so that the industrial equipment can receive wireless signals more fully.

[0029] The staff starts the operation of the router main board 45. The slotted swinging antenna rod 52 is used to transmit or receive wireless signals. The worker starts the servo motor 21. The servo motor 21 drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate through the output shaft. The rotation of the drive shaft 22 drives the router bottom plate 31, the router shell 32 and the router top cover 33 to rotate. The rotation of the router shell 32 drives the support plate 51 and the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to rotate, so that the position of the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can be adjusted so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can better transmit wireless signals. The rotation of the router shell 32 drives the movable rod 43 to rotate. The movable rod 43 rotates and contacts with the raised part on the cam plate 42. The raised part on the cam plate 42 squeezes the movable rod 43 to move upward. The movable rod 43 moves upward and drives the connecting frame 44 to move upward. The connecting frame 44 moves upward and drives the round rod 1 53 to move upward. The round rod 1 53 moves upward and drives the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to swing. Then the movable rod 43 continues to rotate and gradually disengages from the raised part on the cam plate 42. The movable rod 43 moves downward and resets under the action of gravity. The movable rod 43 moves downward and resets, driving the connecting frame 44 and the round rod 1 53 to move downward and reset. The round rod 1 53 moves downward and resets, driving the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to reset, and repeats in sequence, so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 swings intermittently, and the angle of the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can be adjusted intermittently, so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can better transmit wireless signals, so that the industrial equipment can receive wireless signals more fully; while the router motherboard 45 is operating, the staff can start the Bluetooth module 62 to operate, and some industrial equipment that is closer can transmit signals by connecting to the Bluetooth module 62, so that the industrial equipment that is closer does not need to transmit wireless signals through the router motherboard 45, thereby reducing the heat generated by the router motherboard 45, so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 bears less transmission of wireless signals, so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 transmits signals more stably; when the worker turns off the router motherboard 45, the worker turns off the servo motor 21.

[0030] Example 2

[0031] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, it also includes a driving and adjusting component 7, which is provided on the connecting frame 44 and connected to the swing plate 61. The driving and adjusting component 7 is used to intermittently adjust the angle of the Bluetooth module 62 so that the Bluetooth module 62 can transmit signals more fully. The driving and adjusting component 7 includes a driving rod 71, a second round rod 72 and a slotted rod 73. Two driving rods 71 are fixed to the top of the connecting frame 44, and the driving rod 71 passes through the router top cover 33. The side of the driving rod 71 away from the connecting frame 44 is fixed with a second round rod 72. The two ends of the swing plate 61 are fixed with slotted rods 73. The second round rod 72 is slidably connected to the slotted rod 73. The second round rod 72 and the slotted rod 73 are used to drive the swing plate 61 and the Bluetooth module 62 to swing.

[0032] The upward movement of the connecting frame 44 drives the driving rod 71 to move upward, and the upward movement of the driving rod 71 drives the second round rod 72 to move upward, and the upward movement of the second round rod 72 drives the slotted rod 73 and the swing plate 61 to swing outward, and the outward swinging of the swing plate 61 drives the Bluetooth module 62 to swing outward, and the downward movement of the connecting frame 44 drives the driving rod 71 and the second round rod 72 to move downward and reset, and the downward movement of the second round rod 72 drives the swing plate 61 and the Bluetooth module 62 to reset, thereby intermittently adjusting the angle of the Bluetooth module 62, so that the Bluetooth module 62 can transmit signals better, so that the industrial equipment can receive them more fully; when the swing plate 61 and the Bluetooth module 62 swing outward, the top horizontal slot of the router housing 32 will open, allowing the hot air in the router housing 32 to be discharged, and the cold air from the outside can enter the router housing 32, which can dissipate heat for the router mainboard 45 in the router housing 32, so that the router mainboard 45 can operate more stably, and thus the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can transmit signals more stably.

[0033] Example 3

[0034] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 5As shown, it also includes a position adjustment component 8, which is provided on the upper side of the base plate 1 and is connected to the drive shaft 22 and the cam plate 42. The position adjustment component 8 is used to adjust the position of the cam plate 42, so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can randomly swing to adjust the angle, which can further enable the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to better transmit signals. The position adjustment component 8 includes a driving gear 81, a transmission gear 82 and a driven ring gear 83. The driving gear 81 is fixed to the lower part of the drive shaft 22, and the transmission gear 82 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the base plate 1. The driving gear 81 is meshed with the transmission gear 82, and the driven ring gear 83 is fixed to the inner side of the cam plate 42. The transmission gear 82 is meshed with the driven ring gear 83. The transmission gear 82 is located in the driven ring gear 83 and the cam plate 42. The transmission gear 82 and the driven ring gear 83 are used to adjust the position of the cam plate 42, and the transmission gear 82 is located between the driving gear 81 and the driven ring gear 83.

[0035] The rotation of the drive shaft 22 will drive the driving gear 81 to rotate, and the rotation of the driving gear 81 will drive the transmission gear 82 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 82 will drive the driven ring gear 83 and the cam plate 42 to rotate, so that the cam plate 42 randomly squeezes the movable rod 43 to move upward, thereby causing the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to swing and adjust the angle, which can further enable the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 to better transmit signals.

[0036] Example 4

[0037] On the basis of Example 1, Figure 2 As shown, a signal reflecting plate 9 is also included. The signal reflecting plate 9 is fixed to the lower side of the bottom plate 31 of the router. The signal reflecting plate 9 is used to reflect signals so that the slotted swinging antenna rod 52 can better transmit signals.

[0038] The signal reflection plate 9 can reflect the signal, thereby increasing the coverage of the signal, so that the slotted swing antenna rod 52 can better transmit the signal, and the slotted swing antenna rod 52 can transmit the signal more fully.
