Description

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

[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.
