[0034] The utility model proposes a novel industrial intelligent gateway device 100, including a shell 11, a communication module (not shown), a cooling fan 12 and a protective film 13, wherein an installation window 111 and a cable interface 112 are opened on the side of the shell 11; the communication module is installed in the shell 11 and is electrically connected to the cable interface 112; the cooling fan 12 is installed in the installation window 111; the protective film 13 has opposite connecting ends 131 and free ends 132, the connecting end 131 is connected to a side of the shell 11 where the installation window 111 is provided, and the free end 132 can be connected to the edge of the installation window 111 in an openable and closable manner, so that the protective film 13 can cover or expose the installation window 111.

[0035] The above-mentioned shell 11 is generally made of plastic, which has less interference to the signal and is low in cost and light in material. Of course, the shell 11 can also be partially made of metal material. The installation window 111 and the cable interface 112 are spaced apart to prevent the protective film 13 from interfering with the cable interface 112. It is set according to the specific situation and is not limited here.

[0036] The above communication module enables the gateway to connect and communicate with many different types of devices, including sensors, actuators, industrial control equipment, etc. Users can monitor and control these devices through the gateway to collect and exchange data. In addition, the communication module can perform protocol conversion so that different types of devices can communicate and collaborate with each other, which helps to overcome compatibility issues between devices. The communication module also enables the gateway to transmit data obtained from various devices and sensors to the cloud or other remote servers to upload and share data. At the same time, it can also receive instructions from the cloud or other control centers to control the connected devices. In addition, the communication module can be connected to different types of networks, including wireless networks (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa), wired networks (such as Ethernet), and mobile networks (such as 3G / 4G / 5G), to achieve connection and data transmission between devices and the Internet.

[0037] The above-mentioned cooling fan 12 can be installed on the installation window 111 in various ways, and can be fixed by a snap-on method or a screw-on method. The cooling fan 12 is used to drive the air circulation in the shell 11 to take away the heat. In order to improve the air circulation in the shell 11, the shell 11 is generally provided with a vent hole at one end relative to the cooling fan 12, and the vent hole is covered with a filter to filter dust in the air.

[0038] The specific implementation of the above-mentioned protective film 13 is diverse. In some embodiments of the present invention, one side of the protective film 13 connected to the housing 11 is bonded to the lower side of the installation window 111, and a snap is provided on the other side of the protective film 13. The housing 11 is provided with a female snap at the top of the installation window 111. The snap is engaged with the female snap so that the protective film 13 blocks the cooling fan 12. When the snap is separated from the female snap, the protective film 13 naturally falls under the action of gravity, and the cooling fan 12 is exposed to facilitate exhaust and heat dissipation. The protective film 13 can be made of plastic, silicone, rubber and other materials. There are many specific implementations of the protective film 13, which are not listed here one by one.

[0039] In the technical solution of the present utility model, a protective film 13 is provided at the cooling fan 12 of the novel industrial intelligent gateway device 100. When the cooling fan 12 is in the stopped state, the protective film 13 is in the covered state, protecting the outside of the cooling fan 12 to prevent dust and insects from entering the shell 11 through the cooling fan 12. When the cooling fan 12 needs to work, the protective film 13 can be opened to allow air to circulate inside and outside the shell 11. When the cooling fan 12 is working, it blows air outwards to prevent dust and insects from entering the shell 11 through the cooling fan 12. Through the technical solution of the present utility model, the novel industrial intelligent gateway device 100 achieves dust and insect prevention while taking into account the heat dissipation function.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, the protective film 13 includes a plastic film 133 and a plumb piece 134. The plastic film 133 has a connecting end 131 and a free end 132. The connecting end 131 is connected to the upper side of the installation window 111, and the free end 132 is connected to the plumb piece 134 and hangs to the lower side of the installation window 111. In this way, the protective film 13 hangs and covers the installation window 111 in a natural state. When the gateway is in working state and the cooling fan 12 is turned on, the plumb piece 134 can be removed, and the cooling fan 12 blows up the plastic film 133, or the plumb piece 134 is placed on the top surface of the shell 11. The plumb piece 134 restricts the plastic film 133 from falling and keeps it in the opened state. In addition, when the cooling fan 12 is turned on, if the plastic film 133 is not opened, the plastic film 133 will be blown and make a sound, which can serve to remind the user to open the protective film 13.

[0041] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the top wall of the housing 11 is provided with a fixing portion 14, and the fixing portion 14 is detachably connected to the plumb piece 134. This can further improve reliability and prevent the plastic film 133 and the plumb piece 134 from falling due to external forces.

[0042] The specific implementations of the above-mentioned fixing member and the plumb member 134 are various. In some embodiments of the present invention, the fixing member is configured as a hook, and the plumb member 134 is configured as a hanging ring, and the hanging ring is hung on the hook.

[0043] In other embodiments of the present invention, the plumb member 134 is an iron sheet, which is attached to the free end 132; the fixing portion 14 is a magnetic element, which is magnetically connected to the iron sheet. In this way, the outer surface of the gateway looks relatively flat and beautiful, and the iron sheet and the magnetic element are magnetically connected to facilitate users to connect and disassemble, which is convenient.

[0044] The above-mentioned fixing part 14 can be a permanent magnet, such as a magnet, or an electromagnet. In some embodiments of the utility model, the fixing part 14 is an electromagnet. The new industrial intelligent gateway device 100 also includes a control module (not shown), which is electrically connected to the cooling fan 12 and the electromagnet. The control module is used to control the cooling fan 12 and the electromagnet to work simultaneously; the plastic film 133 is made of elastic material and can drive the iron sheet to reset to a suspended state after the electromagnet is powered off. In this way, when the cooling fan 12 is shut down, the control module will also control the electromagnet to power off, and the iron sheet will reset under the drive of the plastic film 133, automatically covering the cooling fan 12, which is further convenient to use.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the plastic film 133 is made of a transparent material, so that the cooling fan 12 can be easily observed from the outside.

[0046] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the installation window 111 and the cable interface 112 are respectively disposed on two adjacent sides or two opposite sides of the housing 11, thereby avoiding the problem that the protective film 13 obstructs the cable interface 112 and limits the arrangement position of the cable structure.

[0047] Further, in some embodiments of the present invention, the heat dissipation fan 12 includes a housing 121, blades 122, and a protective net 124. The housing 121 is installed in the installation window 111, an air outlet channel 123 is provided in the housing 121, the blades 122 are installed in the air outlet channel 123, and the protective net 124 is detachably installed in the housing 121 and is located outside the blades 122. In this way, when dust accumulates on the protective net 124, the protective net 124 can be removed and cleaned to maintain the heat dissipation performance of the heat dissipation fan 12.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting groove 125 is provided on one side of the housing 121, the mounting groove 125 is connected to the air outlet channel 123, and the protection net 124 is installed in the mounting groove 125 and protects the outer side of the fan blade 122. This makes it convenient to disassemble and assemble the protection net 124.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the housing 121 is snap-fastened to the installation window 111. Specifically, an elastic snap tongue 126 is provided on the side of the housing 121, and a snap hole 113 is correspondingly provided in the installation window 111, and the snap tongue 126 is snapped into the snap tongue 126, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the cooling fan 12, further improving the convenience of use.

[0050] The above description is only an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
