That is, different solution integration boards 110 all include the same main board 1101 and second connection portion. Solution integration boards 110 with the same structure but different intelligent control and management solutions can all be detachably installed in the same installation space. Thus, during production, the device body 200 and solution integration board 110 using this structure do not require adjustments to production equipment and processes due to the different intelligent control and management solutions adopted by the solution integration structure 100, thereby reducing production costs and improving production efficiency.

[0037] This embodiment uses a smart curtain motor as an example to further illustrate the modular design of IoT home devices:

[0038] The above-mentioned solution integration structure 100 also includes a module bracket 120, which includes a bracket body 1201, a bracket cover 1204, two guide blocks 1203 and two positioning clips 1202. Specifically, the bracket cover 1204 is arranged at the outer end of the bracket body 1201, and a disassembly slot is provided on the bracket cover 1204.

Specifically, when the user installs the solution integrated structure 100, the solution integrated board 110 and the module bracket 120 can be directly inserted into the installation space until the pin header 2202 and the female header 1102 are plugged into each other to complete the installation. When the solution integrated board 110 and the module bracket 120 are inserted into the installation space, the guide block 1203 will abut against the limit block 2101 to serve as a guide during installation, and the two positioning clips 1202 will respectively abut against the two guide blocks 1203 to serve as a positioning function. When the user needs to remove the solution integrated structure 100, it can be removed directly through the disassembly slot without the use of tools such as screwdrivers, thereby conveniently completing the disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of the solution integrated structure 100.

[0046] This embodiment also uses the smart curtain motor as an example to further illustrate the modular design of the IoT home device:

[0047] Specifically, the functional components include a power board 230, a power socket 240, a motor body 270, a second upper cover, a second lower cover, and bolts 280.

In addition, the above-mentioned mounting groove is provided on the second lower cover, and the power board 230, the motor body 270, and the second control board are provided side by side inside the second outer shell, while the second upper cover and the second lower cover are respectively installed at both ends of the second outer shell by bolts 280. Furthermore, one side of the above-mentioned second control board is abutted against one side of the second lower cover, and the first connecting portion provided on the second control board is connected to the second connecting portion provided on the solution integrated board 110 via a mounting through hole.

[0048] When installing, maintaining, or removing the solution integration board 110, the user needs to open the device cover, place the solution integration board 110 into the installation slot, detachably connect the first connection portion to the second connection portion, and then close the device cover to complete the installation. At this time, the solution integration board 110 is located in the installation slot. When the user needs to remove the solution integration structure 100, the device cover can be opened to remove the solution integration board 110, eliminating the need for tools such as screwdrivers and conveniently completing the disassembly, maintenance, and replacement of the solution integration structure 100.

This allows solution integration boards with the same structure but different intelligent control and management solutions to be removably installed within the same installation space. This eliminates the need to adjust production equipment and processes during production when using equipment bodies and solution integration boards employing this structure, depending on the different intelligent control and management solutions employed in the solution integration structure. This reduces production costs and improves production efficiency.

[0051] In addition, equipment bodies with the same structure can be installed separately, integrating different intelligent control and management solutions into a solution integration structure to adapt to different intelligent control and management solutions, thereby helping to reduce the cost of selling, storing and maintaining the equipment body and improve efficiency.
