[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a gateway housing proposed in one embodiment of the present application includes:

[0029] A housing 1 is provided with a maintenance port 2, and a cover plate 3 is hingedly connected thereto for closing the maintenance port 2. The shape of the cover plate 3 is consistent with that of the maintenance port 2. A first clamping block 4 is connected to the inner side of the cover plate 3. The number of the first clamping blocks 4 may be two, which are symmetrically arranged at intervals and are far away from the hinged end of the cover plate 3.

[0030] Sliding blocks 5, the number of which can be two, and which are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall opposite to the housing 1, and which are slidably installed in the housing 1, the two sliding blocks 5 can slide relative to each other in the horizontal direction, and the ends thereof are connected with second card blocks 6, and the second card blocks 6 are vertically connected to the tops of the sliding blocks 5, when the two sliding blocks 5 slide back to back, the two second card blocks 6 can be respectively engaged with the two first card blocks 4, in the present application, the first card block 4 and the second card block 6 are preferably L-shaped;

[0031] The driving mechanism 7 is arranged in the housing 1 and is used to drive the sliding block 5 to slide. When the two sliding blocks 5 are driven to slide relative to each other by the driving mechanism 7, the farthest distance between the two second card blocks 6 is smaller than the shortest distance between the two first card blocks 4. At this time, the cover plate 3 can close the maintenance opening 2, and the two first card blocks 4 can enter the gap between the two second card blocks 6. Then, the two sliding blocks 5 can be driven to slide back to each other by the driving mechanism 7. At this time, the two second card blocks 6 can respectively engage the two first card blocks 4, so as to fix the cover plate 3 and prevent it from being easily separated from the housing 1.

[0032] The ejection mechanism 8 is arranged inside the housing 1 and is used to drive the cover plate 3 to move in a direction away from the second card block 6. When the maintenance opening 2 needs to be opened, after the two sliding blocks 5 slide relative to each other, the second card block 6 releases the limit of the first card block 4. At this time, the cover plate 3 can be separated from the housing 1 and away from the maintenance opening under the action of the ejection mechanism 8. At this time, the two first card blocks 4 are separated from the spacing between the two second card blocks 6, so that the cover plate 3 can be quickly opened;

[0033] The present application adopts a matching design of the first card block 4 and the second card block 6. When the driving mechanism 7 drives the two sliding blocks 5 to slide relative to each other, the cover plate 3 can close the maintenance port 2, and the first card block 4 can enter the gap between the two second card blocks 6. Then, the two sliding blocks 5 can be driven by the driving mechanism 7 to slide back to each other. At this time, the two second card blocks 6 can respectively engage the two first card blocks 4, so that the cover plate 3 can be fixed and it is not easy to be separated from the shell 1. Compared with the prior art, the present application is more convenient and quick when opening the shell 1, which is convenient for maintenance and has practicality.

[0034] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the ejection mechanism 8 includes a resistance rod 801, and a mounting block 802 is constructed on the outside of the second card block 6, which extends in the direction away from the second card block 6. A tension spring 803 is connected to the bottom of the mounting block 802. The tension spring 803 is the abbreviation of a tension spring. The bottom end of the resistance rod 801 passes through the mounting block 802, and the resistance rod 801 vertically passes through the mounting block 802 and is connected to the other end of the tension spring 803. The tension spring 803 is used to provide a pulling force forcing the resistance rod 801 to move upward. When the cover plate 3 closes the maintenance port 2, it can interfere with the top of the resistance rod 801 and force the resistance rod 801 to move downward. At this time, the tension spring 803 is stretched, and after the second card block 6 releases the limit on the first card block 4, under the action of the tension spring 803, the resistance rod 801 moves upward and pushes the cover plate 3 to move.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the resistance rod 801 is constructed with an arc surface 804, and the arc surface 804 is a semicircular surface. During the continuous rotation of the cover plate 3, the cover plate 3 can slide on the arc surface 804 of the resistance rod 801, so that the resistance friction generated by the two is small and it is not easy to cause wear.

[0036] like Figure 3-Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving mechanism 7 includes a mounting plate 701 arranged inside the shell 1, and the sliding block 5 is slidably matched with the mounting plate 701. A slider 7011 is configured on the top of the mounting plate 701, and a slide groove 501 is configured on the bottom of the sliding block 5. The slider 7011 is slidably matched with the slide groove 501. A support plate 702 is hinged on one side of the mounting plate 701. The support plate 702 is sequentially provided with a first waist hole 703 and a second waist hole 704 from its hinged end toward its movable end. The first waist hole 703 is closer to its hinged end. A first guide column 705 is configured on one side of the sliding block 5, which is tangent to the second waist hole 704 in sliding. A movable rod 706 is slidably penetrated through the outer side of the shell 1. One end of the movable rod 706 is located on the outer side of the shell 1, and a second guide column 707 is configured on its end, which is tangent to the first waist hole 703 in sliding. Here, it is similar to a lever structure with an enlarged stroke, and the support plate 702 is rotated. When the movable rod 706 is pushed toward the inside of the shell 1, the second guide column 707 moves and slides against the inner wall of the first waist hole 703, thereby driving the support plate 702 to rotate along its own hinge point, and the first guide column 705 can be contacted by the inner wall of the second waist hole 704, so that it can slide therein, thereby driving the sliding block 5 to slide a farther distance, and an elastic member 708 is provided on the mounting plate 701, which is used to drive the sliding block 5 to slide toward the inner wall of the shell 1. The elastic member 708 includes a guide rod 7081 constructed in the slide groove 501, which passes through the slider 7011, and a compression spring 7082 is sleeved on the outer side of the guide rod 7081, which contacts the side of the slider 7011 away from the inner wall of the shell 1, thereby driving the slider 7011 to slide toward the inner wall of the shell 1.

[0037] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, rollers 709 are rotatably installed on the outer sides of the first guide column 705 and the second guide column 707, and the two rollers 709 roll tangent to the inner walls of the first waist hole 703 and the second waist hole 704 respectively, thereby reducing the sliding friction resistance between the first guide column 705 and the second guide column 707 and the waist holes, making the sliding smoother.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, a sealing gasket 301 is laid along the bottom edge of the cover plate 3, and the sealing gasket 301 is a silicone gasket. When the cover plate 3 closes the maintenance port 2, the sealing gasket 301 can fill the space between the two, thereby reducing the gap in the shell 1.

[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the Internet of Things gateway proposed in one embodiment of the present application also includes a circuit board 9, which can be detachably installed in the shell 1 through a mounting member 10. When repairing the Internet of Things gateway, it is sometimes necessary to open the maintenance port 2 and take out the circuit board 9 for repair. The mounting member 10 can quickly release the fixation of the circuit board 9, which is more convenient and easy to use.

[0040] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the mounting member 10 includes a fixing block 1001 disposed on the opposite inner wall of the housing 1, the fixing block 1001 is horizontally arranged, and is a rubber block. The opposite sides of the two fixing blocks 1001 are configured with slots 1002, and the slots 1002 extend along the length direction of the fixing blocks 1001. The circuit board 9 is slidably inserted into the slots 1002, and the two ends of the circuit board 9 are respectively accommodated by the two slots 1002. The cover plate 3 is L-shaped, and the shape of the maintenance port 2 is consistent with it, which includes a first plate body 1003 and a second plate body 1004 vertically connected to each other, and the first The card block 4 is located on the second plate body 1004, and the end of the first plate body 1003 is hinged at the bottom of the shell body 1. The first plate body 1003 is located in the extension direction of the slot 1002, and is connected to a resistance block 1005, which is a rubber block. When the cover plate 3 closes the maintenance port 2, the second plate body 1004 is located at the top of the shell body 1, and the first plate body 1003 is located at one side of the shell body 1. At this time, the resistance block 1005 can resist the circuit board 9, making it difficult to disengage from the slot 1002. After opening the maintenance port 2, it can be quickly pulled out of the slot 1002 for maintenance.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
