Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of connector assembly technology, specifically to a switchable cable connector assembly for a gateway. Background Technology

[0002] Gateways, as core network conversion devices in industrial internet and edge communication systems, rely on various signal and power cables to achieve data communication with sensors, controllers, and upper-layer network devices. Cable connectors are key components ensuring electrical connections and stable signal transmission. As core devices in IoT edge communication, gateways require the deployment of multiple communication and power cables, with cable connectors handling both power and data signal transmission. Currently, most gateway cable connectors have exposed interfaces, allowing moisture and dust to enter. Condensation of moisture can cause oxidation and corrosion of the terminals, increasing contact resistance, leading to signal distortion, communication interruptions, and ultimately affecting the lifespan of subsequent connector components. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a switchable cable connector assembly for gateways, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that most of the existing gateway cable connectors have exposed plug-in interfaces, which directly expose the plug-in interfaces to the outside environment. This can lead to the entry of moisture and dust into the plug-in interfaces. After the moisture condenses, it will cause oxidation and corrosion of the terminals, increase the contact resistance, cause signal distortion and communication interruption, and thus affect the service life of the subsequent connector assembly.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a gateway-type openable cable connector assembly, comprising a gateway body, a heat dissipation hole one on the side of the gateway body, a heat dissipation hole two at the rear end of the gateway body, and a plug interface at the lower end of the heat dissipation hole two, a power interface on the side of the heat dissipation hole two, and a fan one on the left side inside the gateway body, heat dissipation fins at both ends inside the gateway body, and a fan two at the top of each heat dissipation fin; an opening and closing mechanism at the end of the plug interface, a sealing mechanism on the surface of the plug interface, and an adsorption component inside the plug interface.

[0005] Furthermore, the opening and closing mechanism includes a baffle plate, and a fixed rod is provided at the upper end of the baffle plate. A rotating rod is rotatably connected inside the fixed rod, and the rotating rod is connected to the gateway body. A connecting rod is installed on the side of the rotating rod, and a torsion spring is wound around the outside of the connecting rod.

[0006] Furthermore, the end face of the shield plate is in contact with the surface of the plug interface, and the length of the shield plate is greater than the spacing of the plug interface. The bottom end of the shield plate is provided with a connecting block, and the end of the connecting block is provided with a magnet. The end of the gateway body is provided with a magnet that matches the magnet.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism includes a limiting groove, which is formed on the end face of the baffle plate. A sealing layer is engaged inside the limiting groove. A rotating rod is connected to the outer side of the connecting rod one via a synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism. A cam is installed on the outer side of the rotating rod. The end of the cam is in contact with the surface of the pressing plate. A connecting spring is provided at both ends of the pressing plate. An elastic airbag three is provided on the inner side of the pressing plate. The elastic airbag three is connected to the sealing layer via a hose.

[0008] Furthermore, the synchronous belt drive mechanism includes a synchronous belt drive, and the synchronous belt drive is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod and the first connecting rod, and the first connecting rod and the rotating rod are connected by the rotating rod.

[0009] Furthermore, the inner side of the synchronous pulley drive belt is engaged with the synchronous pulley body, and both ends of the synchronous pulley body are provided with connecting rods, while the outer side of the synchronous pulley body is fitted with mounting rods.

[0010] Furthermore, a damper is installed at the bottom end of the synchronous pulley body, and a return spring is wound around the outside of the damper.

[0011] Furthermore, the adsorption component includes a rubber layer, which is disposed at the end of the baffle plate. An elastic airbag is sleeved on the outer side of the rubber layer, and an elastic airbag is attached to the inner side of the rubber layer. A support layer is installed at the end of the elastic airbag, and an adsorption block is installed on the inner side of the support layer.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0013] By using a shield, the connector can be covered to prevent excessive dust from entering during use, thus avoiding dust affecting the lifespan of the gateway. By utilizing the elasticity of a torsion spring, when the torsion spring returns to its original position, it can simultaneously drive the shield to return to its original position, so that the shield can continuously cover the connector, ensuring that the connector is always covered when not in use, reducing the entry of dust.

[0014] A limiting groove is provided on the inner surface of the shield, and the sealing layer set inside the limiting groove is in contact with the surface of the gateway body, thereby shielding and closing the surface of the plug interface, reducing dust from entering the interior of the plug interface, and also preventing moisture from entering the interior of the plug interface, thus extending the service life of the gateway body itself.

[0015] Furthermore, when the baffle is closed, the end of the cam presses against the surface of the pressing plate, thereby compressing the gas inside the elastic airbag. The gas is then transported through the hose to the interior of the sealing layer, which fills the gap between the baffle and the gateway body. The angle deflection of the rotating rod and the connecting rod are adapted to each other through the synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism, so that when the baffle flips, the connecting rod rotates synchronously, causing the torsion spring to twist. When the connecting rod rotates, it drives the synchronous belt pulley to rotate. The synchronous belt pulley and the synchronous belt pulley body mesh with each other. Therefore, when the distance between the connecting rod and the rotating rod changes, the elasticity of the return spring keeps the synchronous belt pulley body meshed with the synchronous belt pulley, achieving self-adaptive adjustment of the synchronous belt pulley. This ensures that the cam can stop pressing the pressing plate synchronously when the baffle is open, and when the baffle is closed, the cam can continue to press the pressing plate, allowing gas to flow.

[0027] 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.

[0028] Example 1: As Figure 1 - Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 10 The technical solution shown addresses the following problem: The gateway uses a hinged cable connector assembly, disclosing an opening and closing mechanism. It includes a gateway body 1, with a heat dissipation hole 2 on one side and a second heat dissipation hole 3 at the rear. A connector 7 is located at the lower end of the second heat dissipation hole 3, and a power interface 35 is located on the side of the second heat dissipation hole 3. A fan 4 is located on the left side inside the gateway body 1, and heat dissipation fins 6 are located at both ends inside the gateway body 1, with the second fan 5 located at the top of each heat dissipation fin 6. An opening and closing mechanism is located at the end of the connector 7. The opening and closing mechanism includes... The shield plate 8 has a fixed rod 33 at its upper end. A rotating rod 34 is rotatably connected inside the fixed rod 33 and is connected to the gateway body 1. A connecting rod 20 is installed on the side of the rotating rod 34 and a torsion spring 21 is wound around the outside of the connecting rod 20. The end face of the shield plate 8 is in contact with the surface of the plug interface 7, and the length of the shield plate 8 is greater than the spacing of the plug interface 7. A connecting block 9 is provided at the bottom of the shield plate 8, and a magnet 10 is provided at the end of each connecting block 9. A magnet 21 that matches the magnet 10 is provided at the end of each gateway body 1.

[0029] In this example, the fan 4, heat dissipation hole 2, and heat dissipation hole 3 installed inside the gateway body 1 work together to dissipate the internal temperature of the gateway body 1, avoiding the situation where the temperature rises due to the operation of internal components during actual use, which affects the service life. At the same time, the heat dissipation fins 6 can conduct the internal temperature of the components out, and then the fan 5 can dissipate the heat, ensuring the applicability of the whole during use.

[0030] By using the shield 8, the plug interface 7 can be blocked, preventing excessive dust from entering the plug interface 7 during use, thus avoiding dust affecting the service life of the gateway body 1. By using the elastic force of the torsion spring 21, when the torsion spring 21 resets by its own elastic force, it can simultaneously drive the shield 8 to reset its position, so that the shield 8 can continuously block the plug interface 7, thereby ensuring that the plug interface 7 is always in a blocked state when not in use, reducing the entry of dust.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the upper end of the baffle plate 8 is connected to a rotating rod 34, and the rotating rod 34 rotates inside the fixed rod 33, so that the baffle plate 8 can flexibly reset its position according to the specific elastic force of the torsion spring 21, thereby improving the overall flexibility during use.

[0032] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 3 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9The technical solution shown addresses the following problem: The gateway uses an openable cable connector assembly, which discloses a sealing mechanism and an adsorption component. A sealing mechanism is provided on the surface of the connector 7, and an adsorption component is provided inside the connector 7. The sealing mechanism includes a limiting groove 32, which is located on the end face of the shielding plate 8. A sealing layer 31 is engaged inside the limiting groove 32. A rotating rod 23 is connected to the outer side of the connecting rod 20 via a synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism. A cam 24 is mounted on the outer side of the rotating rod 23, and the end of the cam 24 is in contact with the surface of the pressing plate 18. Connecting springs 19 are provided at both ends of the pressing plate 18. An elastic airbag 17 is provided inside the pressing plate 18, and the elastic airbag 17 is connected to the sealing layer 31 via a hose 30. The synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt pulley drive... The synchronous belt 22 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 23 and the connecting rod 20. The connecting rod 20 and the rotating rod 23 are connected by the rotating rod 23. The synchronous belt 22 is meshed with the synchronous pulley body 25 on its inner side. The synchronous pulley body 25 is provided with connecting rod 29 at both ends. The synchronous pulley body 25 is sleeved with mounting rod 26 on its outer side. The bottom end of the synchronous pulley body 25 is equipped with a damper 27. The damper 27 is wound with a return spring 28 on its outer side. The adsorption assembly includes a rubber layer 12. The rubber layer 12 is provided at the end of the baffle plate 8. The outer side of the rubber layer 12 is sleeved with an elastic airbag 13. The inner side of the rubber layer 12 is attached to an elastic airbag 14. The end of the elastic airbag 14 is equipped with a support layer 15. The inner side of the support layer 15 is equipped with an adsorption block 16.

[0033] In this example, a limiting groove 32 is provided on the inner surface of the shield 8, and the sealing layer 31 provided inside the limiting groove 32 is in contact with the surface of the gateway body 1, thereby shielding and closing the surface of the plug interface 7, reducing dust from entering the interior of the plug interface 7, and also preventing moisture from entering the interior of the plug interface 7, thereby extending the service life of the gateway body 1 itself.

[0034] like Figure 10As shown, when the baffle 8 is closed, the end of the cam 24 presses against the surface of the pressing plate 18, thereby compressing the gas inside the elastic airbag 17. The gas is then transported through the hose 30 to the interior of the sealing layer 31, which fills the gap between the baffle 8 and the gateway body 1. The angle deflection of the rotating rod 23 and the connecting rod 20 are matched through a synchronous belt pulley transmission mechanism, so that when the baffle 8 is flipped, the connecting rod 20 rotates synchronously, causing the torsion spring 21 to twist. The rotation of the connecting rod 20 drives the synchronous belt. The synchronous belt 22 rotates, and the synchronous belt 22 meshes with the synchronous belt body 25. Therefore, when the distance between the connecting rod 20 and the rotating rod 23 changes, the synchronous belt body 25 is kept meshed with the synchronous belt 22 by the elastic force of the return spring 28, which plays a self-adaptive adjustment role for the synchronous belt 22. This ensures that the cam 24 can stop pressing the pressing plate 18 synchronously after the baffle 8 is opened. When the baffle 8 is closed, the cam 24 can continue to press the pressing plate 18 to achieve gas flow.

[0035] like Figure 8 As shown, when the rubber layer 12 is engaged inside the connector 7, the elastic airbag 13 on the outside of the rubber layer 12 can be squeezed simultaneously. The gas inside the elastic airbag 13 is then transported through a pipe to the interior of the elastic airbag 2 14. After being transported, the gas inside the elastic airbag 2 14 will push the support layer 15 and the adsorption block 16 outward a certain distance. The adsorption block 16 can adsorb the water vapor inside the connector 7, thereby preventing water vapor from condensing and causing damage to the internal contact parts of the connector 7, and extending the service life of the connector 7.
