DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] See also Figures 1 to 3The utility model provides a technical solution: an edge IoT proxy gateway, comprising a gateway device housing 1, an electronic component 200 is installed on the inner side of the gateway device housing 1, and a ventilation component 300 is installed on the inner side of the gateway device housing 1; through the cooperation between the electronic component 200 inside the gateway device housing 1 and the ventilation component 300 and the fan 4 on the outside, the air for heat dissipation and ventilation can be further filtered while the filter structure can be conveniently disassembled, cleaned or replaced, so that the air entering the gateway from the outside can be deeply filtered, and the humidity inside can be removed, so that the electronic components inside the gateway device can work normally. At the same time, the disassembly and replacement method is simple, and it can be easily removed without using tools, which is convenient for the operator to operate, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the edge IoT proxy gateway.

[0025] In this embodiment, the ventilation assembly 300 is a structure for ventilating and dissipating heat for the electronic components working inside.

[0026] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ventilation component 300 includes four ventilation boxes 301 that pass through and are fixed on the outside of the gateway device housing 1, a square frame 302 that abuts the side of the ventilation box 301 away from the gateway device housing 1, a filter plate 303 fixed on the inside of the square frame 302, four plug-in blocks 304 fixed on the side of the square frame 302 close to the gateway device housing 1, a magnetic sheet 305 fixed on the side of the plug-in block 304 close to the gateway device housing 1, four plug-in slots 306 opened on the side of the ventilation box 301 away from the gateway device housing 1, a metal sheet 307 fixed on the inside of the plug-in slot 306, a mesh plate 308 fixed on the inside of the ventilation box 301, a dehumidification gasket 309 abutting the side of the mesh plate 308 away from the gateway device housing 1, and an abutting frame 310 fixed on the side of the square frame 302 close to the gateway device housing 1.

[0027] It should be noted that the top and bottom of the ventilation box 301 are both open, allowing outside air to pass through the ventilation box 301 normally into the interior of the gateway device housing 1, and the corresponding four plug-in blocks 304 can be plugged into the inner sides of the corresponding four plug-in slots 306 respectively, and the magnetic sheet 305 can fit with the outer sides of the corresponding metal sheets 307, so that the plug-in blocks 304 can be normally plugged into the inner sides of the corresponding plug-in slots 306, and the magnetic sheet 305 can fit and be adsorbed and positioned with the metal sheet 307.

[0028] In addition, the dehumidification gasket 309 abuts against the side of the corresponding grid plate 308 away from the side of the corresponding abutment frame 310 close to the gateway device housing 1, so that the dehumidification gasket 309 can be placed between the abutment frame 310 and the grid plate 308 through the limiting effect between the two to perform dehumidification work.

[0029] In this embodiment, the electronic component 200 is a structure used to perform normal edge IoT proxy computing work.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the electronic component 200 includes a circuit board 201 fixedly mounted on the inner side of the gateway device housing 1, a front interface panel 202 fixedly mounted on the right side of the circuit board 201, an adapter power supply 203 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201, a main control chip 204 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201, a wireless transmitting module 205 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201, a wireless receiving module 206 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201, an Internet of Things device connection module 207 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201, and a storage module 208 fixedly mounted on the front of the circuit board 201.

[0031] It should be noted that two fans 4 are passed through and fixedly installed on the left side of the gateway device housing 1, and the right side of the fan 4 is the air inlet end and the left side is the air outlet end, so that the fan 4 can be used for exhaust and heat dissipation.

[0032] In addition, the right side of the front interface panel 202 passes through the right side of the gateway device housing 1, and the outer side of the front interface panel 202 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the gateway device housing 1. The adapter power supply 203, the wireless transmitting module 205, the wireless receiving module 206, the Internet of Things device connection module 207 and the storage module 208 are all electrically connected to the front interface panel 202, so as to facilitate connection with the above-mentioned devices through the front interface panel 202.

The adapter power supply 203, the wireless transmitting module 205, the wireless receiving module 206, the Internet of Things device connection module 207 and the storage module 208 are all electrically connected to the main control chip 204, so that the main control chip 204 can play a role in overall control of the above-mentioned device modules.

[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:

[0034] When edge computing is performed on devices connected within the Internet of Things, a wireless connection can be established with the device through the cooperation between the wireless receiving module 206 and the wireless transmitting module 205, a wired connection can be established with the device through the Internet of Things device connection module 207, and the device data within the Internet of Things can be locally stored through the storage module 208. The data can be processed locally through the main control chip 204, thereby reducing the burden on the cloud. During operation, the fan 4 is started to extract the hot air inside the gateway device housing 1, and the outside air enters the interior of the ventilation box 301 and enters the interior of the gateway device housing 1 for ventilation after being filtered by the filter plate 303 and the dehumidification gasket 309, so that the incoming air can be relatively effectively filtered. By directly pushing the square frame 302 to separate the magnetic sheet 305 and the metal sheet 307, the magnetic limit function can be canceled, which facilitates cleaning the filter plate 303 or replacing the dehumidification gasket 309 to ensure the effectiveness of the filtration.

[0035] Compared with the existing technology, the edge IoT proxy gateway, through the cooperation between the electronic component 200 inside the gateway device shell 1 and the ventilation component 300 and the fan 4 on the outside, can further filter the heat dissipation and ventilation air, and can also conveniently disassemble, clean or replace the filter structure, so that the air entering the gateway from the outside can be deeply filtered, and the humidity inside it can be removed, so that the electronic components inside the gateway device can work normally. At the same time, the disassembly and replacement method is simple, and it can be easily removed without the use of tools, which is convenient for the operator to operate, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the edge IoT proxy gateway and solving the problem that the existing proxy gateway device is inconvenient to disassemble and deeply clean the filter structure during actual use.

[0036] The electrical components appearing in this article are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The power supply is the external main power supply. The provision of power supply is common knowledge in this field. The main controller can be a conventional known device that plays a control role, such as a general control computer. It can be implemented through simple programming by technicians in this field, and they are all existing publicly available power connection technologies, which will not be described in detail in this article.

[0037] It should be noted that the terms "comprises," "includes," or any other variations thereof are intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
