It connects various terminal devices at the industrial site, such as sensors, controllers, etc., and connects these devices to the network, allowing the devices to upload data to the cloud or server. The gateway can support conversion between different communication protocols, allowing products to interact with a variety of external systems.

The utility model designs the antenna of the industrial Internet of Things gateway to be retractable and snap-in, so that when the industrial Internet of Things gateway needs to be moved and carried, the antenna can be retracted and snap-in, thereby reducing the space occupied by the industrial Internet of Things gateway, which is conducive to portability.
[0004] However, the existing technology has the following shortcomings: When using an existing industrial Internet of Things gateway, it is necessary to manually insert a suitable network cable into the interface of the gateway to realize data transmission. However, when manually connecting, it is easy to be inconvenient to insert it accurately at one time due to the small size of the interface and the connection point of the network cable. It is necessary to find the position several times before the installation is completed. The connection efficiency is low, and multiple insertions can easily cause the network cable connector to collide with the gateway multiple times, causing damage, affecting the normal use of the gateway. Summary of the invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an industrial Internet of Things gateway for functional modeling based on product requirements in order to solve the existing problems.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The present invention is a functional modeling industrial Internet of Things gateway based on product requirements, comprising the following steps: Subject institution; A positioning mechanism, the positioning mechanism comprises a fixing frame fixedly connected to the top of the main body mechanism, a sliding groove is provided on the outer wall of the fixing frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of one side of the fixing frame, and an output end of the motor passes through the circumferential outer wall of one end of the fixing frame and is fixedly connected to a screw rod; A mounting mechanism, the mounting mechanism comprising a connecting frame slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide groove; A fixing mechanism comprises a mounting frame fixedly connected to the outer wall of the interface of the main mechanism.
[0007] As a further solution of the present invention: the circumferential outer wall of the screw rod is drivenly connected with an engagement sleeve, and the outer wall of one end of the engagement sleeve away from the motor is rotatably connected with a connecting shaft.
[0008] The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the lead screw drives the engagement sleeve to rotate with the lead screw. The engagement sleeve moves linearly along the thread of the lead screw while rotating, and the linear and rotational motion of the engagement sleeve drives the connecting shaft to move.
[0009] As a further solution of the present invention: the outer wall of the connecting shaft is rotatably connected to a first connecting disk, the circumferential inner wall of the first connecting disk is rotatably connected to three connecting crankshafts equidistantly around the circumference, and the circumferential outer wall of the end of the connecting crankshaft is drivenly connected to a second connecting disk.
[0010] The first connecting disk is driven to move linearly and rotate by the connecting shaft, the connecting crankshaft is driven to move by the first connecting disk, and the connecting crankshaft drives the second connecting disk to move, so that the first connecting disk and the second connecting disk rotate vertically and move linearly synchronously.

[0012] The limit frame is driven by the second connecting plate to move linearly along the slide slot and rotate. When the limit frame moves linearly until it contacts the latch tooth, it squeezes the first spring. When the limit frame rotates, the first spring rebounds and drives the latch tooth to engage in the limit tooth of the limit frame, thereby limiting the limit frame and stopping the motor from rotating.
[0013] As a further solution of the present invention: the outer wall of the connecting frame is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod, the movable end of the electric telescopic rod is movably connected to a connecting cylinder, and the inner wall of the connecting cylinder is slidably connected to a curved cylinder.

[0020] The fixing tube is inserted into the mounting hole to drive the limiting ball to contact the inner wall of the mounting hole. The limiting ball squeezes the third spring. When the electric telescopic rod stops moving, the fixing tube stops inserting. The third spring rebounds to drive the limiting ball to rebound excessively and contact the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby limiting the fixing tube, so that the network cable to be installed is fixed in the interface to ensure stable connection of the network cable.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The motor drives the screw rod to rotate, and the screw rod drives the meshing sleeve to rotate with the screw rod.

[0022] Based on the first beneficial effect, after being fixed and limited by the limit frame, the electric telescopic rod opens and drives the connecting cylinder to move in a straight line, and the connecting cylinder drives the curved cylinder to move in a straight line, and the moving block is driven by the curved cylinder to move in a straight line, and the network cable to be installed is manually passed through the moving block, and the network cable contacts and pushes the clamping block, and the clamping block squeezes the second spring, and the second spring rebounds to cause the clamping block to clamp the network cable, and the curved cylinder drives the clamped network cable to approach and insert it into the mounting frame, and a connecting plate is sleeved on the outer wall of the circumference of the network cable, and the curved cylinder drives the connecting plate to contact the mounting frame, and the connecting plate drives the fixed cylinder to be inserted into the mounting hole, and the fixed cylinder is inserted into the mounting hole to drive the limiting ball to contact the inner wall of the mounting hole, and the limiting ball squeezes the third spring. When the electric telescopic rod stops moving, the fixed cylinder stops inserting, and the rebound of the third spring drives the limiting ball to rebound excessively to contact the inner wall of the mounting hole, thereby limiting the fixed cylinder, so that the network cable to be installed is fixedly installed in the interface, ensuring the stable connection of the network cable, and preventing the network cable from falling off from the interface during long-term use.
