Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gateways, and particularly to an Internet of Things gateway with functions of multi - communication integration and intelligent topology construction. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, the Internet of Things technology has developed rapidly, and various Internet of Things devices have emerged in an endless stream, being widely used in multiple fields. The huge scale of devices has put forward more stringent requirements for the interconnection between devices and the efficient transmission and management of data.
[0003] The demands for Internet of Things communication technologies in different application fields show diverse characteristics. In the smart home scenario, users expect to control various smart devices such as smart lights, smart door locks, and smart home appliances in the home at any time and place through terminal devices such as mobile phones, which requires stable and high - speed short - range communication technology as a support; in the field of smart agriculture, due to the vast scope of farmland and scattered distribution of devices, it is necessary to monitor environmental parameters such as soil humidity, temperature, and light in large - area farmland in real time. Therefore, long - distance and low - power communication technology has become a necessity; in the industrial automation scenario, it is required not only that devices can transmit data in real time and accurately, but also that they have high reliability and stability to ensure the normal operation of the production process.
[0004] In addition, as the Internet of Things application scenarios become more complex and diverse, the performance requirements for sensor networks are also increasing day by day. Industry 4.0 emphasizes the intelligence and automation of the production process, which requires the sensor network to be able to collect a large amount of data such as device status and production parameters in real time and accurately feedback control instructions to the executing devices. However, traditional sensor networks mostly adopt one - way transmission and simple topology structures, which cannot meet this goal.
[0005] Single function and poor integration: Most of the existing gateway devices only support one or a few communication technologies and cannot be compatible with multiple communication methods such as Wi - Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and LoRa at the same time. This makes it necessary to deploy multiple different types of gateways to meet the communication needs of different devices in practical applications, increasing the construction cost and management difficulty of the system. Moreover, their data processing and analysis capabilities are limited, mostly only for data forwarding, and it is difficult to perform pre - processing such as filtering, aggregating, and analyzing a large amount of real - time data, and cannot provide valuable information for upper - layer applications.
[0006] Performance bottlenecks are prominent: In terms of data transmission rate, when a large number of devices are connected and data transmission is frequent, the gateway is prone to problems such as insufficient bandwidth and transmission delay. In smart homes, if multiple smart devices are controlled simultaneously, the control instructions may not be responded to in a timely manner. The network stability is also poor and is greatly affected by environmental factors (such as electromagnetic interference and signal occlusion). In complex environments such as factories and underground parking lots, the signal is easily interrupted by interference, affecting the normal communication of devices. In addition, the concurrent connection number of the gateway is limited, making it difficult to support the access of a large number of Internet of Things devices and restricting the expansion of the Internet of Things system.
[0007] Lack of intelligent decision-making ability: Most existing gateways lack intelligent decision-making ability and cannot dynamically adjust configurations and strategies according to network conditions, device status, and business requirements. For example, when there is network congestion, it cannot automatically optimize the data transmission path and priority, resulting in delays in the transmission of critical data and affecting the normal operation of the business. When a device fails, it cannot be detected and effective measures cannot be taken in a timely manner, reducing the reliability and stability of the system. Summary of the Invention
[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an Internet of Things gateway with functions of multi-element communication fusion and intelligent topology construction, to solve the problems of traditional sensor networks that mostly adopt one-way transmission and simple topology structures, have single functions, poor integration, prominent performance bottlenecks, and lack of intelligent decision-making ability.

[0011] Further, the upper end of the control button passes through the upper part of the housing.

The automated mesh topology level-1 module and the automated mesh topology level-2 module are electrically connected.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Through the integration of multiple communication technologies, based on the powerful processing capabilities and rich interfaces of the ESP32, the hardware circuit is carefully designed to highly integrate multiple wireless communication modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, LoRa, GPS, Zigbee, and Thread. By optimizing the electrical connection and signal interaction between the modules, it ensures the stable operation of each communication module and minimizes mutual interference, enabling a gateway device to support multiple communication methods, breaking the limitation that traditional gateways can only adapt to a single or a few communication technologies, and meeting the communication requirements of different scenarios and devices. At the same time, a new Ethernet interface is added to support wired network connection, further expanding the network access methods to meet scenarios with extremely high requirements for network stability, such as industrial automation control centers, where low latency and high reliability of data transmission can be ensured through the wired network. Optimize the sensor network: An automated mesh topology is constructed based on the star and tree topology sensor networks to form an automated mesh topology structure. In this structure, any node is allowed to transmit data through multiple upper-level nodes. Each node only records the information of its own upper-level node without the need to maintain a complex routing table, thus significantly reducing the complexity and management cost of the network. At the same time, each node and its child nodes form a secondary tree-like network. This hierarchical structure not only simplifies the data forwarding path but also reduces the number of packet jumps in the network, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency. The patented product is built-in with multiple sensors and multiple 485 interfaces, and can directly form nodes by itself, realizing the function of integrating nodes and gateways, further strengthening the convenience and efficiency of sensor network construction.
[0014] Expansion of hardware functions: In addition to the above core functions, the patented product supports a display that can show basic information such as resolution, facilitating users to intuitively understand the device status and parameter settings. At the same time, it has strong self-monitoring capabilities, can read information such as the operating temperature and humidity of the main board, and can also read the input voltage. By real-time monitoring of these key hardware parameters, on the one hand, it helps to timely detect potential device failure hazards, such as too high main board temperature may indicate heat dissipation problems and maintenance can be carried out in advance; on the other hand, it provides data basis for device performance optimization, such as dynamically adjusting the operation frequency according to the CPU temperature to ensure the stable and efficient operation of the device.
[0015] Safety protection mechanism: It is built with overvoltage, overcurrent, overload, and surge protection circuits to provide comprehensive safety protection for the device. In complex power usage environments, such as industrial sites with frequent power grid fluctuations, these protection circuits can effectively prevent damage to the device caused by abnormal voltage increase, excessive current, overload operation, or surge impact. At the same time, it has a certain lightning protection function to ensure the hardware safety of the device, extend the service life of the device, and guarantee the long-term stable operation of the IoT system. In addition, the 485 interface supports the access of program-controlled terminal resistors, and the electrical characteristics of the interface can be flexibly adjusted according to actual communication needs, improving communication reliability, reducing signal reflection and interference, especially suitable for long-distance, multi-node 485 bus communication scenarios.
[0016] Communication flexibility and efficiency: Through the integration of multiple communication technologies, the gateway can flexibly switch communication methods such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, LoRa, Zigbee, Thread, and Ethernet to meet the communication needs of devices in different scenarios. In the smart home scenario, Wi-Fi is used for high-speed devices at close range, Bluetooth is used for low-power short-range devices, 4G is used for remote data interaction, and LoRa is used for long-distance low-power sensors, realizing seamless interconnection and interoperability between devices, improving the communication efficiency and stability of the IoT system, and reducing data transmission delays or interruptions caused by mismatched communication technologies.
[0017] High reliability and fault tolerance: Build a sensor network with an automated mesh topology. When a node fails or there is signal interference, data can be automatically forwarded through other nodes, greatly improving the reliability and fault tolerance of the network. In industrial environments, devices are often subject to electromagnetic interference, and traditional topology networks are easily affected. However, the patented technology of this invention can ensure stable data transmission and guarantee the normal operation of the production monitoring and management system.
