Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 - 4 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a PLC gateway device, including a PLC gateway 1, a data interface 3, and a heat dissipation slot 4. A first storage strip groove 2 is opened on the front outer surface of the PLC gateway 1, and a data interface 3 and a heat dissipation slot 4 are provided on the front outer shell of the PLC gateway 1. And limit strip grooves 5 are opened on the upper and lower surfaces of the front end of the PLC gateway 1. A second storage strip groove 6 and an engagement groove 7 are opened on the right surface of the PLC gateway 1. A sealing straight plate 8 is installed inside the first storage strip groove 2, and a limiting rod body 9 is installed through the left end of the sealing straight plate 8, and the limiting rod body 9 is connected to the limit strip groove 5, and a magnetic circular part 10 is installed on the inner side surface of the right end of the sealing straight plate 8.

[0022] The first storage strip groove 2 communicates with the limit strip groove 5 and the second storage strip groove 6, and the length and width of the first storage strip groove 2 are equal to the length and width of the second storage strip groove 6. According to the first storage strip groove 2 and the second storage strip groove 6 provided on the PLC gateway 1, the subsequent sealing straight plate 8 can be stored in different orientations.

[0023] The depth of the engagement groove 7 is less than the depth of the second storage strip groove 6, and the engagement groove 7 communicates with the second storage strip groove 6. The combination of the second storage strip groove 6 and the engagement groove 7 allows the sealing straight plate 8 to be slid into the second storage strip groove 6, and then the sealing straight plate 8 can be toggled and opened through the engagement groove 7.

[0024] The connection method between the sealing straight plate 8 and the limiting rod body 9 is inlaid and fixed, and the height of the limiting rod body 9 is equal to the height of the PLC gateway 1, and the connection method between the limiting rod body 9 and the limit strip groove 5 is rotational sliding. The limiting rod body 9 provided on the sealing straight plate 8 can prevent it from falling off during the adjustment process and at the same time make adjustments in different orientations.

[0025] The connection method between the sealing straight plate 8 and the first storage strip groove 2 and the second storage strip groove 6 is sliding engagement, and the outer surface of the sealing straight plate 8 is flush with the outer surface of the PLC gateway 1. The sealing straight plate 8 can be adjusted in different ways, and after being stored, the sealing straight plate 8 can remain flat and avoid bulging.

[0026] The connection method between the magnetic round piece 10 and the sealing straight plate 8 is embedded fixation, and the outer surface of the magnetic round piece 10 is flush with the surface of the sealing straight plate 8, and the connection method between the magnetic round piece 10 and the outer shell of the PLC gateway 1 is magnetic adsorption. According to the magnetic round piece 10 installed on the sealing straight plate 8, when the sealing straight plate 8 is stored, the magnetic adsorption of the magnetic round piece 10 can remain stable.

[0027] Working principle: According to Figures 1 - 4 When the PLC gateway 1 needs to be connected to the outside world, the sealing straight plate 8 can be toggled, and the sealing straight plate 8 can be rotated and tilted on the PLC gateway 1 through the limiting rod body 9 and the limiting strip groove 5, so that the sealing straight plate 8 drives the magnetic round piece 10 to separate from the PLC gateway 1, and the initial positioning is released. Then, the sealing straight plate 8 is pulled, and the sealing straight plate 8 can slide in the first storage strip groove 2, and the sealing straight plate 8 drives the limiting rod body 9 to slide and shift through the limiting strip groove 5. After the limiting rod body 9 moves to the rightmost end, the sealing straight plate 8 is toggled and rotated, and the sealing straight plate 8 is completely rotated and snapped into the second storage strip groove 6 for storage. At the same time, the sealing straight plate 8 drives the magnetic round piece 10 to magnetically adsorb with the PLC gateway 1, and maintains stability, completing the opening operation of the data interface 3 and the heat dissipation slot 4 on the PLC gateway 1, and the subsequent pairing work can be performed. The above is the working process of the entire device, and the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to professional and technical personnel in this field.
