Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and specifically to a computer IoT gateway device that is easy to install and support. Background Technology
[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) is an extension of the Internet, encompassing the Internet and all its resources, and is compatible with all Internet applications. However, all elements in the IoT (all devices, resources, and communications, etc.) are personalized and private. The IoT achieves network interconnection through gateway devices, also known as network connectors or protocol converters. Gateways achieve network interconnection at the network layer and above, and are the most complex network interconnection devices. They are only used for interconnecting two networks with different high-level protocols. Gateways can be used for both wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) interconnection. A gateway is a computer system or device that plays a crucial role in conversion.
[0003] When using gateway devices for the Internet of Things (IoT), the installation process is fraught with challenges. Gateways are typically fixed in a designated location, and existing methods involve placing them on fixed supports, consuming space, and securing them with bolts. Since bolts and other fasteners are small, they are prone to loss during installation, and the lack of suitable tightening tools makes installation difficult. This inconvenience and compromises the security of the gateway installation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a more easily installable and supportable gateway device for the IoT to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0035] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0036] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a computer Internet of Things gateway device that is easy to install and support, including a gateway body 1. Two signal enhancement antennas 10 are electrically connected to the rear side of the gateway body 1. Multiple network cable interfaces are opened on the surface of the gateway body 1. An installation structure 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the gateway body 1. A support structure 4 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the installation structure 3. The gateway body 1 and the support structure 4 are both detachably installed to the installation structure 3. The installation structure 3 includes two flip-type connecting plates 32 for snapping with the gateway body 1. Snap-fit blocks 11 of the same size as the flip-type connecting plates 32 are fixedly installed on both sides of the gateway body 1. A heat dissipation structure 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the gateway body 1. A heat dissipation vent is opened at the top of the gateway body 1. The heat dissipation structure 2 includes a heat dissipation box 20. The heat dissipation box 20 is attached to the top of the heat dissipation vent, and the heat dissipation box 20 is detachably installed to the gateway body 1. A positioning hole is opened at the connection end between the heat dissipation box 20 and the gateway body 1. A fixing bolt 21 for auxiliary fixing is threaded inside the positioning hole.
[0037] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting structure 3 further includes two telescopic connecting blocks 33, which are fixedly installed on both sides of the inner wall of the flip-type connecting plate 32. Both sides of the two snap-fit blocks 11 are provided with snap-fit slots that match the port size of the telescopic connecting blocks 33. The mounting structure 3 also includes multiple high-strength springs 34 for improving the rebound strength of the telescopic connecting blocks 33. These high-strength springs 34 are fixedly installed inside the telescopic connecting blocks 33, and both ends of the high-strength springs 34 are fixedly connected to both ends of the telescopic connecting blocks 33. The mounting structure 3 also includes a mounting plate 30 for mounting... The mounting plate 30 is located directly below the gateway body 1. Both ends of the mounting plate 30 are fixedly mounted with fixing rods 31 for assisting in adjusting the angle of the flip-type connecting plate 32. The two flip-type connecting plates 32 are slidably connected to the surfaces of the two fixing rods 31, and the surfaces of the two flip-type connecting plates 32 are flared. The mounting structure 3 also includes a mounting groove 35, which is located directly below the mounting plate 30.

[0040] The present invention provides a computer Internet of Things gateway device that is easy to install and support. When the support structure 4 is required, the connecting plate 40 is inserted into the mounting slot 35. The actual use angle of the connecting plate 40 can be adjusted in the mounting slot 35 according to the size of the desktop. After adjusting to a suitable position, the grounding position of the movable support block 44 can be adjusted by the movable adjustment bracket 42 to provide stable support for the gateway body 1 and the mounting structure 3.
[0041] Working principle: Before installation, the gateway body 1 is placed on the mounting plate 30, and the angle of the flip-type connecting plate 32 is flipped using the fixing rod 31 so that it can fit against the snap-fit blocks 11 on both sides of the gateway body 1. After fitting, the telescopic connecting block 33 inside the flip-type connecting plate 32 is pressed down by flaring the opening, so that the flip-type connecting plate 32 fits completely against the gateway body 1, and the position of the telescopic connecting block 33 is aligned with the snap-fit groove on the surface of the snap-fit block 11. After alignment, under the action of the high-strength spring 34 inside the telescopic connecting block 33, the front end of the telescopic connecting block 33 is springed back, pushing it into the snap-fit groove, completing the installation. If no adjustment is needed via the support structure 4, the gateway body 1 can be placed on the desktop, and the support plate 36 at the bottom of the mounting plate 30 can effectively support the gateway body 1. If the support structure 4 is required, the connecting plate 40 is inserted into the mounting slot 35. Depending on the size of the desktop, the actual usage angle of the connecting plate 40 can be adjusted within the mounting slot 35. After adjusting to a suitable position, the grounding position of the movable support block 44 can be adjusted via the movable adjustment bracket 42 to provide stable support for the gateway body 1 and the mounting structure 3. During use, the heat dissipation box 20 can draw hot air out from the heat dissipation vent at the top of the gateway body 1 so that the temperature of the gateway body 1 can be controlled and its service life extended.
[0042] The foregoing has only described certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention by way of illustration. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the foregoing drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
