Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of IoT security gateway technology, specifically to a highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment. Background Technology

[0002] As a key node connecting electromechanical equipment and upper-layer networks, IoT security gateways play a crucial role in data acquisition, protocol conversion, and security isolation in scenarios such as industrial IoT and smart buildings. In practical applications, these gateways typically need to integrate multiple communication interfaces to connect to different field devices, resulting in a dense arrangement of multiple connectors on the back of their casing. Existing gateway devices generally suffer from the following problems:

[0003] 1. When multiple interfaces are already connected to cables, the densely arranged connectors will cause physical interference, making the space for subsequent addition or replacement of cables extremely narrow, difficult to connect, and seriously affecting maintenance efficiency.

[0004] 2. Industrial environments are often dusty, and long-term static placement of connectors can easily lead to the accumulation of dust or fine particles, resulting in poor contact and affecting communication reliability.

[0005] 3. External cables are often subjected to force due to accidental pulling. This force is directly transmitted to the connection point. Over time, this may cause the interface to loosen or even fall off, threatening the stability of the connection and affecting the normal operation of the equipment.

[0006] Currently, most gateway devices on the market lack effective solutions to the aforementioned problems. Some devices attempt to improve plug-in operability by increasing the spacing between interfaces, but this significantly increases the device size. For dust protection and cable fixing, separate dust covers or cable ties are usually used. These measures are not only cumbersome to operate, but the dust covers also become ineffective after wiring, failing to solve the problem of dust accumulation during use. Cable fixing also lacks an integrated active clamping mechanism. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment, comprising a housing and a motherboard, wherein the motherboard is fixedly installed inside the housing by bolts, and connectors are slidably connected at equal intervals on the rear side of the housing, and the connectors are interconnected with the motherboard by wires;

[0009] An adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the position of the socket. The adjustment mechanism is mounted on the housing and is connected to the socket.

[0010] The dust blowing mechanism is used to blow away the dust deposited in the socket of the connector. The dust blowing mechanism is connected to the connector and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the dust blowing mechanism and the connector.

[0011] The wire clamping mechanism is used to clamp and fix the external plug connection wire. The wire clamping mechanism is connected to the outer shell, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the wire clamping mechanism and the socket.

[0012] Preferably, heat dissipation teeth are evenly fixed on the outer side of the outer shell, and mounting plates are symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the outer shell. The mounting plates are provided with mounting holes. Through the action of heat dissipation teeth, the contact area between the outer shell and the outside air can be increased, thereby providing a basic guarantee for the heat dissipation of the device.

[0013] Preferably, the rear end face of the housing is uniformly fixed with inclined blocks, and the inclined blocks are located on the side of the socket. Through the action of the inclined blocks, a basic guarantee can be provided for the normal operation of the wire clamping mechanism.

[0014] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism includes a push plate disposed on the rear side of the housing, and a fixed rod is fixed on the push plate. The fixed rod, the crossbar, and the housing are all slidably connected. Meanwhile, the crossbar is fixed on the housing. By pushing the push plate, a basic guarantee can be provided for adjusting the front and rear positions of the socket. With the sliding guide effect between the fixed rod and the crossbar, the stability of the push plate movement can be guaranteed.

[0015] Preferably, a vertical rod is vertically fixed to the lower end face of the fixing rod, and the vertical rod and the inclined groove plate are slidably connected. The inclined groove plate is fixed to the upper end face of the socket. Through the sliding action between the vertical rod and the inclined groove plate, a basic force can be provided for the movement of the socket, thereby realizing the adjustment of the front and rear position of the socket.

[0016] Preferably, the socket is symmetrically fixed with ear plates on its left and right sides, and the ear plates are slidably connected to the guide rod fixed on the outer shell. The ear plates are fixed to one end of the first spring, while the other end of the first spring is fixed inside the outer shell. When the socket moves, the sliding guiding action between the socket and the guide rod can ensure the stability of the socket's movement. The elastic action of the first spring can provide a basic force for the socket to reset.

[0017] Preferably, the dust blowing mechanism includes a fixing plate fixed to the lower end face of the socket, with one end of the fixing plate fixed to each other, and the other end of the elastic airbag fixed inside the outer shell. The elastic airbag is equipped with a one-way air inlet and a one-way air outlet, which is connected to the socket's insertion hole via a conduit. With the above structure, dust and debris in the socket's insertion hole can be blown away, thereby avoiding poor contact between the socket and the connector due to the presence of dust and debris in the insertion hole.

[0018] Preferably, the wire clamping mechanism includes a movable frame disposed on the rear side of the housing, and slide rods are symmetrically fixed on the movable frame. The slide rods are slidably connected to the housing. The sliding guide effect between the slide rods and the housing can ensure the stability of the movable frame movement.

[0019] Preferably, a top rod is slidably connected to the movable frame, and the top rod cooperates with the inclined block to form a sliding mechanism. The top rod is fixed to the movable plate slidably connected inside the movable frame, and a second spring is fixed between the movable plate and the movable frame. The movement of the movable plate is provided by the sliding contact between the top rod and the inclined block.

[0020] Preferably, the movable plate is provided with two adjusting plates on its side, and a slider that is slidably connected to the movable plate is fixed on the adjusting plate. An elastic metal plate is fixed between the two adjusting plates. The surface of the elastic metal plate is rough. Through the action of the elastic metal plate, it can accommodate and limit the connection of connecting wires of different sizes, thereby effectively preventing the socket and plug from becoming loose due to pulling, and thus ensuring the stability of the connection between the socket and plug.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. This highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment employs an adjustment mechanism that allows for position adjustment of the socket during connection or disconnection of the connector and plug. This enables the connected socket to move outward a certain distance relative to other sockets, thus achieving a clearance function. This makes the connection and disconnection of the connector and plug easier and simpler, improving the ease of operation of the device. In conjunction with the linked dust blowing mechanism, dust can be blown out of the socket holes, preventing poor contact problems during connection and disconnection of the connector and plug.

[0023] 2. This highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment adopts a wire clamping mechanism, which can clamp and limit the wires on the connector after the socket and plug are connected, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the socket and plug and preventing the socket and plug from becoming loose due to the connection wire being pulled.

[0033] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment, including a housing 1 and a motherboard 2. The motherboard 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1 by bolts. A connector 4 is slidably connected at equal intervals on the rear side of the housing 1. The connector 4 is interconnected with the motherboard 2 by wires.

[0035] Adjustment mechanism 3 is used to adjust the position of socket 4. Adjustment mechanism 3 is installed on housing 1 and is connected to socket 4.

[0036] The dust blowing mechanism 5 is used to blow away the dust deposited in the socket on the connector 4. The dust blowing mechanism 5 is connected to the connector 4, and there is a one-to-one correspondence between the dust blowing mechanism 5 and the connector 4.

[0037] The wire clamping mechanism 6 is used to clamp and fix the external plug connection wire. The wire clamping mechanism 6 is connected to the outer shell 1, and the wire clamping mechanism 6 and the socket 4 are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0038] Heat dissipation fins 101 are evenly fixed on the outer side of the outer casing 1, and mounting plates 102 are symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the outer casing 1, with mounting holes 103 provided on the mounting plates 102; inclined blocks 104 are evenly fixed on the rear end face of the outer casing 1, and the inclined blocks 104 are located on the side of the socket 4; the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a push plate 301 located on the rear side of the outer casing 1, and a fixing rod 302 is fixed on the push plate 301, and the fixing rod 302 is slidably connected to the crossbar 303 and the outer casing 1, while the crossbar 303... 03 is fixed to the outer shell 1; a vertical rod 304 is vertically fixed to the lower end face of the fixing rod 302, and the vertical rod 304 is slidably connected to the inclined groove plate 305, and the inclined groove plate 305 is fixed to the upper end face of the socket 4; ear plates 401 are symmetrically fixed to the left and right sides of the socket 4, and the ear plates 401 are slidably connected to the guide rod 402 fixed to the outer shell 1, and the ear plates 401 are fixed to one end of the first spring 403, while the other end of the first spring 403 is fixed inside the outer shell 1;

[0039] When using this highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment, such as Figures 1-8 As shown, the entire device can be installed by using the mounting plate 102, mounting holes 103, and bolts. When wiring, if no connectors are connected to any of the sockets 4, the connectors can be directly plugged into the desired sockets 4. When connectors are plugged into multiple sockets 4, due to obstruction from other connectors, to facilitate the connection operation, simply push the push plate 301, thereby moving the fixed rod 302 and the vertical rod 304. The sliding guide action between the fixed rod 302 and the horizontal rod 303 ensures the stable movement of the fixed rod 302 and the vertical rod 304. Qualitatively, when the vertical rod 304 moves, the sliding action between the vertical rod 304 and the inclined slot plate 305 causes the socket 4 to move outward from the outer shell 1 under force. Combined with the sliding guiding action between the ear plate 401 and the guide rod 402, the stability of the movement of the socket 4 can be ensured, so that the socket 4 to be connected is moved outward by one end, thereby achieving the avoidance function, making it easier for the plug and socket 4 to be connected and installed, improving the convenience of device operation. After the connection is completed, by releasing the push plate 301, the socket 4 can be automatically reset under the elastic action of the first spring 403.

[0040] The soot blowing mechanism 5 includes a fixing plate 501 fixed to the lower end face of the socket 4, and the fixing plate 501 is fixed to one end of the elastic air bag 502, and the other end of the elastic air bag 502 is fixed inside the outer shell 1. Meanwhile, the elastic air bag 502 is equipped with a one-way air inlet 503 and a one-way air outlet 504, and the one-way air outlet 504 is connected to the socket 4 through a conduit.

[0041] When moving the socket 4, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the movement of the socket 4 synchronously drives the fixed plate 501 to move, thereby causing the elastic airbag 502 to contract under force. This allows the air inside the elastic airbag 502 to enter the socket hole on the socket 4 through the conduit, thus blowing away dust and debris from the socket hole and ensuring its cleanliness. Since the connecting terminals in the socket hole are on the lower side, blowing air through the side opening will not affect the normal use of the socket 4. Furthermore, when the socket 4 resets due to the elastic action of the first spring 403, the limited air intake speed of the one-way air inlet 503 on the elastic airbag 502 can buffer the reset of the socket 4, preventing collision damage caused by the rapid reset of the socket 4 due to the elastic action of the first spring 403.

[0042] The wire clamping mechanism 6 includes a movable frame 601 located on the rear side of the outer casing 1, and slide rods 602 are symmetrically fixed on the movable frame 601, with slide rods 602 slidably connected to the outer casing 1; a top rod 603 is slidably connected to the movable frame 601, and the top rod 603 cooperates with the inclined block 104 to form a sliding mechanism, and the top rod 603 is fixed to the movable plate 604 slidably connected inside the movable frame 601, while a second spring 605 is fixed between the movable plate 604 and the movable frame 601; two adjusting plates 606 are provided on the side of the movable plate 604, and sliders 607 are fixed on the adjusting plates 606 and slidably connected to the movable plate 604, while an elastic metal plate 608 is fixed between the two adjusting plates 606, and the surface of the elastic metal plate 608 has a rough structure;

[0043] After the plug and socket 4 are connected and the socket 4 is reset, as follows: Figures 1-8As shown, by pushing the movable frame 601 upward, the movable plate 604 and the elastic metal plate 608 can be moved upward. Combined with the sliding action between the slide rod 602 and the outer casing 1, the stability of the movement of the movable plate 604 and the elastic metal plate 608 can be ensured. When the top rod 603 contacts the inclined block 104, the elastic metal plate 608 is exactly located on the side of the connector wire. At this time, continuing to push the movable frame 601, combined with the sliding action between the top rod 603 and the inclined surface of the inclined block 104, allows the movable plate 604 and the elastic metal plate 608 to move. When the elastic metal plate 608 contacts the connector wire... The movable plate 604 and the elastic metal plate 608 continue to move, allowing the elastic metal plate 608 to deform and engage with the connector wire until the top rod 603 moves to the center of the inclined block 104. At this point, the elastic metal plate 608 completes the clamping and fixing with the connector wire, thus ensuring that when the connector wire is pulled by external force, the force will not directly act on the connection position of the connector and socket 4. This effectively prevents the connector and socket 4 from loosening due to pulling, ensuring the stability of the connection. This is the working principle of the highly stable IoT security gateway for electromechanical equipment.
