Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of equipment shell structures, and particularly relates to an installation structure of an Internet of Things edge gateway shell. Background Art

[0002] The edge gateway is a bridge connecting the physical world and the digital world. Through functions such as network connection and protocol conversion, it provides lightweight connection management, real-time data analysis, and application management functions. Edge gateways are widely used in multiple fields and industries. For example, in the Internet of Things, in the Internet of Things system, the edge gateway can process a large amount of device data, reduce the burden on the cloud, and improve data processing efficiency; in smart home, it connects various sensors, controllers and other devices to realize the linkage of smart door locks and cameras, the quick linkage of security hand alarm chips, smoke alarms, etc.; in industrial Internet, in the fields of intelligent manufacturing, intelligent water service, etc., the edge gateway can connect monitoring devices, production devices, etc. to process and transmit data, improving the security and robustness of the devices; in smart city, by connecting cameras, sensors and other devices, it collects data from all corners of the city (such as traffic conditions, pedestrian flow information, etc.) to provide decision-making support for urban managers.

[0003] In the prior art, whether the edge gateway is placed alone or assembled and connected with other communication devices, generally, the shell of the edge gateway is directly horizontally attached to the placement point or attached and installed to the assembly point. Since the shell of the edge gateway is mostly in the shape of a square rectangular box structure, the long-term attachment to the placement point or assembly point is not conducive to the heat dissipation of the attachment surface, and thus is not conducive to the working heat dissipation of the edge gateway. At the same time, when the edge gateway is assembled and connected with other communication devices, it is difficult to select the assembly point due to the limitations of the current communication device usage conditions and the shape, which restricts the installation flexibility. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides an installation structure of an Internet of Things edge gateway shell that can meet the requirements of the heat dissipation efficiency and installation flexibility of the edge gateway, and can solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme: An installation structure of an Internet of Things edge gateway shell, including an edge gateway shell body and a shell installation bracket, and the shell installation bracket includes a hinge shaft seat, a hinge seat, and a support connecting piece;

[0006] The articulated shaft seat includes a central shaft and a base plate. The base plate is fixedly centered along the axial length direction of the central shaft. The edge gateway housing body is fixedly centered on the base plate. There are two hinge seats, symmetrically hinged on both sides of the central shaft. The hinge seat includes a hinge plate. Any one of the hinge plates can rotate circumferentially along the axial body of the central shaft to a folded state. The two hinge plates can rotate to a flat state that horizontally fits with the base plate. The support connecting member is hinged on the hinge plate, and can be retractably fitted into the hinge plate in the flat state of the hinge seat, and can be extended to connect to the edge gateway housing body in the folded state of the hinge seat.

[0007] Further, in the folded state of the hinge seat, the two hinge plates are respectively supported on the placement points, and an anti-slip edging is fixed along the edge of the plate body on the side of the hinge plate away from the central shaft.

[0008] Further, in the folded state of the hinge seat, the two hinge plates respectively rotate to an angle matching the shape of the communication device to be assembled currently, and are fitted and installed on the assembly points. And an adhesive layer is provided on the bottom surface of the hinge plate, and mounting holes are correspondingly penetrated through the same position of the hinge plate and the adhesive layer.

[0009] Further, a notch is provided in the middle of the hinge plate. When the two hinge plates rotate to the horizontal flat state, the base plate fits and matches with the two notches. When the two hinge plates rotate to the folded state, the base plate gives way out from the two notches.

[0010] Further, a groove is provided on the top surface of the hinge plate. The support connecting member is hinged in the groove with its bottom end as the rotation point and can rotate around the rotation point.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0024] It should be noted that if there are directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) involved in the embodiments of the present utility model, the directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0025] See Figures 1-3 , the embodiments of the present utility model provide an installation structure for an Internet of Things edge gateway housing, including an edge gateway housing body 1 and a housing installation bracket 2. The housing installation bracket 2 includes a hinge shaft seat 3, a hinge seat 4, and a support connecting member 5;

[0026] The hinge shaft seat 3 includes a central shaft 6 and a base plate 7. The base plate 7 is fixedly centered along the axial length direction of the central shaft 6. The edge gateway housing body 1 is fixedly centered on the base plate 7. There are two hinge seats 4, symmetrically hinged on both sides of the central shaft 6. The hinge seat 4 includes a hinge plate 8. Any one of the hinge plates 8 can be rotated circumferentially along the axis of the central shaft 6 to a folded state, and the two hinge plates 8 can be rotated to a flat state that is horizontally flush with the base plate 7. The support connecting member 5 is hinged on the hinge plate 8 and can be retractably fitted into the hinge plate 8 in the flat state of the hinge seat 4, and can be extended to connect to the edge gateway housing body 1 in the folded state of the hinge seat 4.

[0027] In the present utility model, the housing installation bracket and the edge gateway housing body constitute the overall housing structure of the edge gateway. The housing installation bracket is connected below the edge gateway housing body. By folding the hinge seat around the hinge shaft seat, the housing installation bracket can be folded into a triangular shape around the base plate and the edge gateway housing body to complete the support of the edge gateway housing body. This can not only prevent the edge gateway housing body from being horizontally attached to the placement point or assembly point, improve the working heat dissipation effect of the edge gateway, but also adjust the folding angle according to the usage conditions or external shape conditions of the communication device to be assembled with the edge gateway currently, improving the installation flexibility and applicability of the housing structure.

[0028] See Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, when the hinge seat 4 is in the folded state, the two hinge plates 8 are respectively supported and mounted on the placement points, and the side edges of the hinge plates 8 away from the central axis 6 are fixed with anti-slip edging 9 along the edge of the plate body. With this design, if the edge gateway is currently placed alone on the placement point, the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to rotate the two hinge seats 4 to a downward folded state relative to the hinge shaft seat 3 and be mounted on the placement point, thereby allowing the edge gateway housing body 1 to be steadily lifted upward above the placement point under the support of the base plate 7. In this way, the edge gateway housing body 1 does not fit into the placement point, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation effect of the edge gateway. At the same time, the anti-slip edging 9 is made of anti-slip rubber material and contacts the placement point, thereby enhancing the stability of the support of the hinge seat 4 to the edge gateway housing body 1.

[0029] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, when the hinge seat 4 is folded, the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to angles that match the shape of the communication device to be assembled and are securely mounted at the assembly point. An adhesive layer 10 is provided on the bottom surface of the hinge plates 8, and mounting holes 803 are formed through the hinge plates 8 and the adhesive layer 10 at the same position. With this design, if the edge gateway is currently assembled and connected to the communication device, the two hinge plates 8 are similarly rotated to rotate the two hinge seats 4 relative to the hinge shaft seat 3 to a downwardly folded position. The rotation angle needs to be adjusted based on the current shape of the communication device until the two hinge plates 8 are securely mounted thereto. Depending on the adaptability of the installation environment, the hinge plates 8 can be glued using the adhesive layer 10, secured using screws in the mounting holes 803, or both, providing more options. In this way, the edge gateway housing body 1 is tilted relative to the assembly point and does not securely fit thereto, which also enhances the heat dissipation effect of the edge gateway.

[0030] See also Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, a notch 801 is provided in the middle of the hinge plate 8. When the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to a horizontally flat state, the base plate 7 matches the two notches 801. When the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to a folded state, the base plate 7 is released outward from the two notches 801. With this design, when the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to a horizontally flat state, the hinge shaft seat 3 and the two hinge seats 4 are spliced to form a plate-shaped plane, which is connected parallel to the bottom of the edge gateway shell body 1, facilitating the storage of the entire edge gateway shell; when the two hinge plates 8 are rotated to a folded state, the two hinge seats 4 form a triangular bracket under the hinged action of the hinge shaft seat 3, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the edge gateway shell body 1 and plays a supporting role therefor.

[0031] See Figures 2-5 , in this embodiment, a groove 802 is formed on the top surface of the hinge plate 8. The support connecting member 5 is hinged in the groove 802 with its bottom end as the rotation point and can rotate around the rotation point. With such a design, when the two hinge plates 8 rotate to the horizontal flat state, the support connecting member 5 rotates and is received into the groove 802 until it is completely fitted with the hinge plate 8; when the two hinge plates 8 rotate to the folded state, the support connecting member 5 rotates and stands outside the groove 802 until it extends and connects to the edge gateway housing body 1.

[0032] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, the support connecting member 5 includes an external thread cylinder 11 and an internal thread column 12. An articulated shaft 1101 for hinging with the groove 802 is fixedly penetrated through the bottom of the external thread cylinder 11. The internal thread column 12 is installed in the external thread cylinder 11 and can be threaded and telescoped along the length direction of the cylinder body of the external thread cylinder 11. A screw head 1201 is rotatably installed at the top of the internal thread column 12, and the screw head 1201 is thread-matched with a screw thread hole formed at the bottom of the edge gateway housing body 1. With such a design, under the hinge connection of the articulated shaft 1101, the external thread cylinder 11 can rotate relative to the groove 802. The internal thread column 12 adjusts the length extending out of the external thread cylinder 11 according to the current rotation angle of the hinge plate 8 relative to the edge gateway housing body 1 until the screw head 1201 can be rotatably connected into the screw thread hole. In this way, the support connecting member 5 completes the stable support function for the edge gateway housing body 1.

[0033] See Figure 4 , in this embodiment, sealing heads 601 for abutting and restricting the hinge plate 8 are installed at both ends of the central shaft 6, and a fixing hole 602 for connecting and fixing the base plate 7 is formed in the middle of the central shaft 6. With such a design, under the abutting action of the sealing heads 601 on both sides, the two hinge plates 8 are closely matched with the central shaft 6, avoiding the situation that the hinge plate 8 is loose and the support is unstable. The base plate 7 can be fixedly connected to the fixing hole 602 under the fastening action of connecting members such as screws and rivets and is placed in the front of the two hinge plates 8. Similarly, the edge gateway housing body 1 can be fixedly integrated with the base plate 7 under the fastening action of connecting members such as screws and rivets or the bonding action of adhesive. It should be noted that the cross-sectional area of the base plate 7 should be much smaller than the bottom area of the edge gateway housing body 1 to avoid excessive contact area between the two and affecting the heat dissipation effect of the edge gateway housing.

[0034] In summary, in the present utility model, the housing mounting bracket and the edge gateway housing body constitute the overall housing structure of the edge gateway. The housing mounting bracket is connected below the edge gateway housing body. By rotating the hinge shaft seat around the hinge seat, the housing mounting bracket can be folded around the base plate and the edge gateway housing body into a triangular shape to complete the support of the edge gateway housing body. This not only avoids the horizontal fitting of the edge gateway housing body with the placement point or the assembly point, improves the working heat dissipation effect of the edge gateway, but also can adjust the folding angle according to the usage conditions or the external shape conditions of the communication device to be assembled with the edge gateway currently, improving the installation flexibility and applicability of the housing structure.

[0035] It should be understood that the examples and embodiments described herein are only for illustration and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes according to it. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
