[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) is a crucial component of next-generation information technology. Its user-side functionality extends to any object, enabling information exchange and communication between them. Therefore, the IoT is defined as a network that connects any object to the internet through information sensing devices such as radio frequency identification (RFID), infrared sensors, global positioning systems, and laser scanners, according to agreed protocols, for information exchange and communication. This allows for intelligent identification, positioning, tracking, monitoring, and management of objects. The IoT controller deploys a variety of sensors, each representing an information source. Different sensor types capture different information content and formats. The data obtained by sensors is real-time, periodically collecting environmental information at a specific frequency and continuously updating the data.

[0003] In the prior art, a Chinese utility model with publication number CN220173636U discloses an Internet of Things device controller. In this Internet of Things device controller, a chassis causes a collision, causing the chassis to deform and squeeze the interior, and then a connecting rod is subjected to force through a protective plate and a protective pad. Then, the connecting rod moves inward, and the outer shell is squeezed by a spring and a limit plate to reduce the impact buffering force for protection. In addition, the chassis is sealed by a waterproof strip and a sealing strip to prevent water from seeping into the interior, thereby playing a protective role and achieving the purpose of protection.

The refrigeration component 13 is arranged on the upper surface of the guide plate 6, the controller body 10 is arranged between the two groups of protective components 11, and the controller body 10 is arranged on the upper surface of the multiple groups of support beams 9. An air inlet cavity 14 is provided below the chassis 1 and the guide plate 6, an air guide cavity 15 is provided between the guide plate 6 and the averaging plate 7, and multiple groups of ventilation holes are provided on the upper surface of the averaging plate 7, and the multiple groups of ventilation holes are arranged at equal intervals.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the protective assembly 11 includes a clamping plate 111, and multiple groups of spring dampers 112 are installed on one side of the clamping plate 111. One end of the multiple groups of spring dampers 112 is installed on the inner wall of the chassis 1. The other side of the clamping plate 111 is provided with a drainage and heat-conducting strip 114 that abuts the controller body 10. The multiple groups of drainage and heat-conducting strips 114 are arranged at equal intervals, and a flow channel for air circulation is formed between adjacent drainage and heat-conducting strips 114. The upper surface of the clamping plate 111 is fixedly connected to the extension plate 113. The provision of the extension plate 113 facilitates the quick installation of the controller body 10. At the same time, the flow channel between the drainage and heat-conducting strips 114 can accelerate the speed of air circulation, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling the controller body 10.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, the air induction assembly 3 includes a dust screen 31 installed in the air inlet 4. Two sets of air guide tubes 32 are installed on one side of the dust screen 31, and fans 33 are installed in each set of air guide tubes 32. The dust screen 31 prevents external dust from entering the chassis 1, reducing the impact of dust on the controller body 10 and extending the service life of the controller body 10. Preferably, the dust screen 31 is installed in a removable manner in the air inlet 4 to facilitate replacement of the dust screen 31.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the refrigeration component 13 includes a water tank 131 and a refrigerator 134. A water pump 132 is installed on one side of the water tank 131. A coil 133 is connected between the water outlet of the water pump 132 and the refrigerator 134. The coil 133 is a copper tube. A return pipe 135 is provided between the refrigerator 134 and the water tank 131. The water pump 132 is used to circulate the cooling water in the water tank 131, thereby achieving continuous cooling of the controller body 10.

[0027] The water tank 131 is arranged on the upper surface of the guide plate 6, the coil 133 is arranged in the air inlet cavity 14, the coil 133 is arranged in a serpentine shape, and the cooler 134 is arranged on the side of the chassis 1 adjacent to the air inlet hole 4; the shape of the coil 133 is used to increase the area in contact with the air, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling the air and further improving the efficiency of heat dissipation of the controller body 10.

[0028] Two groups of support angle plates 8 are fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the chassis 1 and are in the same plane as the multiple groups of support beams 9. The controller body 10 is arranged between the two groups of support angle plates 8. The support angle plates 8 facilitate the restriction of the installation position of the controller body 10, so that the controller body 10 is installed in the center of the chassis 1, thereby improving the uniformity of air circulation.

The lower surface of the cover 2 is fixedly connected with a guide plate 12, and the guide plate 12 is set in an L shape. A plurality of air outlet holes 5 are provided at the upper end of one side of the chassis 1; by opening the cover 2, the controller body 10 can be maintained for convenience; through the guide plate 12, the air is easily guided to the air outlet holes 5, the air exchange efficiency is accelerated, and the heat dissipation is accelerated by using the principle of rising hot air.

[0030] During use, the fan 33 introduces the air outside the chassis 1 into the air inlet chamber 14 of the chassis 1, and the water pump 132 pumps the cooling water in the water tank 131 into the coil 133, and returns to the water tank 131 after passing through the refrigerator 134, repeating the use of cooling water. The coil 133 absorbs the heat of the air in the air inlet chamber 14, and the air enters the air guide chamber 15 after the temperature is reduced, and evenly enters the area where the controller body 10 is installed in the chassis 1 through the ventilation holes on the equalizing plate 7. When the air passes evenly through the outside of the controller body 10, the flow channel between the diversion heat conductive strips 114 is used to increase the air circulation speed, thereby accelerating the efficiency of cooling the outer surface of the controller body 10. The air after absorbing heat is drained to the air outlet 5 through the guide plate 12 for discharge, thereby accelerating the efficiency of air circulation and thus improving the heat dissipation efficiency.
