Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a data acquisition gateway, in particular to an Internet of Things data acquisition gateway which is easy to disassemble and maintain. Background Art

[0002] The IoT data collection gateway is a crucial component of the IoT system, located between IoT devices and the cloud platform. Its primary responsibilities include data collection, aggregation, conversion, and transmission, ensuring unified processing of data from diverse IoT devices and communicating with the cloud platform via standard protocols.

[0003] Over time, hardware devices may age, become damaged, or experience performance degradation. Furthermore, hardware components may need to be upgraded to accommodate new technologies. These situations require disassembly and maintenance of the gateway; commonly, gateways are sealed with screws.

[0004] Since the gateway is often installed in an equipment box with complex wiring and small operating space, when it is sealed with screws, if the gateway needs to be maintained, tools are required to unscrew the screws. The small operating space in the equipment box greatly increases the difficulty of maintenance, and the disassembly method using tools relatively reduces the maintenance efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain, comprising a chassis and a rotating shaft mounted on the chassis; a cover is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft;

[0008] The chassis is equipped with multiple sets of guide rods; sliders are slidably mounted on the guide rods; when the sliders slide on the guide rods toward the rotation axis, they can drive the cover to rotate in the direction of the rotation axis away from the chassis;

[0009] The chassis is provided with an opening and closing structure and a locking structure;

[0010] When the cover is in contact with the chassis, the locking mechanism can restrict the slider to prevent the slider from approaching the rotating shaft.

[0011] When the locking mechanism releases the restriction on the slider, the opening and closing mechanism can drive the slider to approach the rotating shaft.

[0012] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: a first fixed block is installed on the machine cover, and a second fixed block is installed on the slider; a connecting rod is rotatably installed on the first fixed block, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the second fixed block.

[0013] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: when the cover is fitted with the chassis, there is an angle between the connecting rod and the cover, and the angle is an acute angle.

[0014] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: the locking structure includes a fixed sleeve installed on the chassis, a limit block slidably engaged in the fixed sleeve, the limit block passes through the side wall of the chassis and cooperates with the slider; a pull rod is installed on the limit block, and the pull rod is slidably connected to the fixed sleeve, and a limit spring fixedly connected to the limit block is installed in the fixed sleeve.

[0015] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: the side of the limit block close to the slider is an inclined surface, and the side away from the slider is a flat surface.

[0016] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: the opening and closing structure includes a baffle that is slidably engaged with the guide rod, and an ejection spring is installed on the baffle, and the end of the ejection spring away from the baffle is fixedly connected to the chassis.

[0017] The Internet of Things data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain as described above: a pulling block is rotatably installed on the end of the pull rod away from the limit block.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the sliding of the slider is limited by the locking structure, thereby ensuring that the cover and the chassis are in a tightly fitted state, while increasing the difficulty of the chassis and the cover automatically separating due to external interference, which can effectively improve the protection ability of the chassis and the cover to the internal equipment; the slider is driven to slide by the opening and closing mechanism to automatically separate the chassis and the cover, thereby realizing the opening of the gateway, effectively reducing the maintenance difficulty of the internal equipment, and effectively improving the maintenance efficiency; and without applying external force (removing the external force), the interaction between the slider and the guide rod can make the cover and the chassis maintain a constant relative angle, which can save the operator's energy and improve the maintenance efficiency in an environment with limited maintenance space.

[0037] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0038] See also Figures 1 to 8As an embodiment of the present invention, the IoT data acquisition gateway that is easy to disassemble and maintain includes a chassis 1 and a rotating shaft 10 mounted on the chassis 1; a cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the rotating shaft 10;

[0039] The chassis 1 is equipped with multiple sets of guide rods 3; sliders 4 are slidably mounted on the guide rods 3; when the sliders 4 slide on the guide rods 3 toward the rotation axis 10, they can drive the cover 2 to rotate in the direction of the rotation axis 10 away from the chassis 1;

[0040] The chassis 1 is provided with an opening and closing structure and a locking structure;

[0041] When the cover 2 is fitted with the chassis 1 , the locking mechanism can restrict the slider 4 to prevent the slider 4 from approaching the rotating shaft 10 ;

[0042] When the locking mechanism releases the restriction on the slider 4 , the opening and closing mechanism can drive the slider 4 to approach the rotating shaft 10 .

[0043] In this embodiment, the IoT data collection gateway is a crucial component of the IoT system, located between IoT devices and the cloud platform. Its primary responsibilities include data collection, aggregation, conversion, and transmission, ensuring unified processing of data from diverse IoT devices and communicating with the cloud platform via standard protocols.

[0044] Over time, hardware devices may age, become damaged, or experience performance degradation. Furthermore, hardware components may need to be upgraded to accommodate new technologies. These situations require the gateway to be disassembled and maintained.

[0045] When the chassis 1 and the cover 2 are tightly fitted, the data acquisition gateway is in a closed state; at this time, the locking structure will interact with the slider 4, and the locking structure will limit the slider 4 from sliding toward the shaft 10, so that the cover 2 cannot rotate on the shaft 10 in the direction away from the chassis 1, so that the data acquisition gateway is always in a closed state; and at this time, the opening and closing structure is in an energy storage state and is tightly fitted with the slider 4.

[0046] When the data acquisition gateway needs to be opened for internal equipment maintenance, a locking external force is applied to release the restriction on the slider 4, and the opening and closing structure will move at this time; the opening and closing structure will release kinetic energy to drive the slider 4 to slide on the guide rod 3, and the sliding direction is toward the rotating shaft 10; when the opening and closing structure drives the slider 4 to slide, the slider 4 will drive the cover 2 to rotate, and the rotation direction is away from the chassis 1; thereby, the cover 2 and the chassis 1 are released from the tight fit state; the gateway is in an open state, which is convenient for equipment maintenance.

[0047] The locking structure limits the sliding of the slider 4, thereby ensuring that the cover 2 and the chassis 1 are in a tightly fitted state, and at the same time increases the difficulty of the chassis 1 and the cover 2 automatically separating due to external interference, which can effectively improve the protection ability of the chassis 1 and the cover 2 for internal equipment; the opening and closing mechanism drives the slider 4 to slide, so that the chassis 1 and the cover 2 are automatically separated, thereby realizing the opening of the gateway, effectively reducing the difficulty of maintenance of internal equipment, and effectively improving maintenance efficiency.

[0048] As a further solution of the present invention, a first fixing block 201 is installed on the machine cover 2, and a second fixing block 401 is installed on the slider 4; a connecting rod 5 is rotatably installed on the first fixing block 201, and the connecting rod 5 is rotatably connected to the second fixing block 401.

[0049] In this embodiment, when the cover 2 rotates on the shaft 10 in a direction away from the chassis 1, the slider 4 will be driven on the guide rod 3 toward the shaft 10 through the connecting rod 5. During this process, the connecting rod 5 will rotate on the first fixed block 201 and the second fixed block 401, and the angle between the connecting rod 5 and the cover 2 and the angle between the connecting rod 5 and the slider 4 will change with the rotation.

[0050] The friction coefficient of guide rod 3 is relatively high. The weight of cover 2, first fixing block 201, and connecting rod 5 acts on slider 4 through connecting rod 5, making it difficult to easily slide slider 4 on guide rod 3. External force is required to drive slider 4 on guide rod 3. Therefore, when no external force is applied (removed), the cover 2 and chassis 1 can maintain a constant relative angle. This can save operator effort (no need to worry about supporting cover 2) in environments with limited maintenance space (environmental environments where the cover 2 and chassis 1 can only open and close at less than a right angle), thereby improving maintenance efficiency.

[0051] As a further solution of the present invention, when the cover 2 is fitted with the chassis 1 , an angle exists between the connecting rod 5 and the cover 2 , and the angle is an acute angle.

[0052] In this embodiment, when the cover 2 is in contact with the chassis 1, if the cover 2 is parallel to the connecting rod 5 (the angle between them is zero or non-existent), an external force is applied to the slider 4, causing it to slide on the guide rod 3 (which is parallel to the cover 2). However, the force acting on the cover 2 through the connecting rod 5 is radially along the rotation axis 10, and therefore cannot drive the cover 2 to rotate.

[0053] When the cover 2 fits the chassis 1 , there is an angle (acute angle) between the cover 2 and the connecting rod 5 , and the force acting on the cover 2 is not in the radial direction of the shaft 10 , so the cover 2 can be driven to rotate on the shaft 10 .

[0054] As a further solution of the present invention, the locking structure includes a fixed sleeve 7 installed on the chassis 1, and a limit block 6 is slidably engaged in the fixed sleeve 7. The limit block 6 passes through the side wall of the chassis 1 and cooperates with the slider 4; a pull rod 601 is installed on the limit block 6, and the pull rod 601 is slidably connected to the fixed sleeve 7, and a limit spring 8 fixedly connected to the limit block 6 is installed in the fixed sleeve 7.

[0055] In this embodiment, when the gateway needs to be closed, an external force is applied to the cover 2 to rotate the cover 2 on the shaft 10 toward the chassis 1. At this time, the slider 4 is driven by the connecting rod 5 to slide on the guide rod 3 in a direction away from the shaft 10.

[0056] During the sliding process of the slider 4, it will contact the limit block 6 and drive the limit block 6 to slide inward in the fixed sleeve 7. At the same time, the pull rod 601 will also slide in the direction away from the slider 4, compressing the limit spring 8, so that the limit block 6 will not hinder the sliding of the slider 4; thereafter, under the elastic force of the limit spring 8, the slider 4 continues to slide, and the limit block 6 will continue to conflict with the slider 4; at the moment when the chassis 1 and the cover 2 are completely closed, the slider 4 passes over the limit block 6. At this time, the elastic force of the limit spring 8 will drive the limit block 6 to slide outward in the fixed sleeve 7 to complete the reset; the limit block 6 will conflict with the slider 4, thereby preventing the slider 4 from sliding toward the shaft 10, so that the cover 2 can no longer rotate on the shaft 10 in the direction away from the chassis 1. At this time, the gateway will be difficult to open, so as to enhance the protection capability of the internal equipment.

[0057] As a further solution of the present invention, the side of the limit block 6 close to the slider 4 is an inclined surface, and the side away from the slider 4 is a flat surface.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the slider 4 slides away from the rotation axis 10, it will come into contact with the inclined surface of the limit block 6. Under the action of the inclined surface, the force acting on the limit block 6 is directed along the axis of the fixed sleeve 7 in the direction away from the slider 4, thereby driving the limit block 6 to slide inwardly within the fixed sleeve 7.

[0059] After the cover 2 and the chassis 1 are completely fitted together, the flat surface of the limit block 6 will come into contact with the slider 4 , thereby limiting the slider 4 from sliding toward the rotation axis 10 .

[0060] As a further solution of the present invention, the opening and closing structure includes a baffle 301 slidably engaged with the guide rod 3 , and an ejection spring 302 is installed on the baffle 301 , and one end of the ejection spring 302 away from the baffle 301 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1 .

[0061] In this embodiment, when the slider 4 slides on the guide rod 3 in the direction away from the rotating shaft 10, it will interfere with the baffle 301 and drive the baffle 301 to slide synchronously, compressing the ejection spring 302. When the chassis 1 and the cover 2 are completely fitted together, the limit block 6 will limit the slider 4 from sliding toward the rotating shaft 10. At this time, the elastic force of the ejection spring 302 will serve as the kinetic energy for opening the gateway.

[0062] By applying external force to the pull rod 601, it drives the limit block 6 to slide inward in the fixed sleeve 7, thereby contacting the limit block 6 to restrict the slider 4; under the elastic force of the ejection spring 302, the baffle 301 and the slider 4 will be driven to slide toward the rotating shaft 10, and the connecting rod 5 will drive the cover 2 to rotate away from the chassis 1 to open the gateway.

[0063] The locking structure and the opening and closing structure cooperate with each other. The locking structure limits the sliding of the slider 4, thereby ensuring that the cover 2 and the chassis 1 are in a tightly fitted state. At the same time, it increases the difficulty of the chassis 1 and the cover 2 automatically separating due to external interference, which can effectively improve the protection ability of the chassis 1 and the cover 2 for internal equipment; the opening and closing mechanism drives the slider 4 to slide, so that the chassis 1 and the cover 2 are automatically separated, thereby realizing the opening of the gateway, effectively reducing the maintenance difficulty of internal equipment, and effectively improving the maintenance efficiency.

[0064] As a further solution of the present invention, a pulling block 9 is rotatably mounted on one end of the pull rod 601 away from the limiting block 6 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the operator pulls the pull rod 601 through the pulling block 9, thereby driving the limit block 6 to separate from the slider 4, so that the limit block 6 releases the restriction on the slider 4. Under the action of the ejection spring 302, the slider 4 will slide, thereby opening the gateway.

[0066] Since the pulling block 9 needs to be pulled to drive the limit block 6 to separate from the slider 4, the gateway's resistance to external interference factors can be improved, preventing the gateway from opening due to collision or extrusion, thereby reducing the protection of internal equipment.

[0067] The above embodiments are exemplary rather than restrictive, so any technical solution of the present invention that can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the present invention is included in the present invention.
