Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power module technology, specifically to a peripheral power module for an Internet of Things (IoT) module. Background Technology

[0002] An IoT module peripheral power supply module is a power system with a modular design, consisting of multiple interconnected power modules. Each module is responsible for converting input electrical energy into stable output electrical energy. These modules can provide different power, voltage, and current outputs, thus offering great flexibility to adapt to various power requirements. Compared to traditional linear and switching power supplies, modular power supplies can convert electrical energy into a stable output more efficiently and reliably, and typically have better overload and fault protection functions. Modular power supplies are widely used in power equipment in various fields, such as communications, computers, medical, and industrial control, improving power efficiency, system reliability, and facilitating maintenance.

[0003] Conventional power modules use a modular design, so when the entire structure fails, the entire structure is replaced, requiring the core structure and surrounding auxiliary structures to be disassembled and replaced simultaneously. While this makes maintenance convenient, it incurs unnecessary maintenance costs.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and proposed a peripheral power supply module for Internet of Things modules. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a peripheral power supply module for an Internet of Things (IoT) module to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an IoT module peripheral power supply module, comprising a module frame and a power supply module assembly. The power supply module assembly is installed in the center of the module frame, and an external socket is installed on one side of the module frame. A top plate is installed on the top of the module frame, and a bottom plate is installed on the bottom of the module frame. A fixing plate is connected to the side of the module frame away from the external socket. The module frame includes a buffer plate, a protective plate, heat dissipation holes, and a limiting tenon. The protective plate is connected to the left and right sides of the buffer plate, and heat dissipation holes are provided on the surface of the protective plate. Limiting tenons are provided on the surface of both the protective plate and the buffer plate near the power supply module assembly.

[0007] Furthermore, the buffer plate and the protective plate are connected to each other by an insertion structure, and the heat dissipation holes are arranged in a honeycomb structure at the top and bottom ends of the surface of the protective plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the power module assembly includes a power module body, a heat-conducting plate, a limiting groove, and heat dissipation fins. The bottom of the power module body is connected to the heat-conducting plate, and limiting grooves are formed on the left, right, and rear surfaces of the heat-conducting plate. Heat dissipation fins are installed on the bottom of the heat-conducting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the power module body is embedded in the top surface of the heat-conducting plate, and the heat-conducting plate and the power module body are connected and fixed to each other by bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner surface structure of the limiting groove matches the outer surface structure of the limiting tenon, and the heat-conducting plate and the heat dissipation fins are integrally formed.

[0011] Furthermore, the top plate and the bottom plate are connected to the module frame by an insertion structure, and the fixing plate is connected and fixed to the module frame, the top plate, and the bottom plate by bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, auxiliary fans are symmetrically installed on one side of the bottom of the top plate, and cooling fans are symmetrically installed on the middle of the top of the bottom plate.

[0013] Furthermore, both the auxiliary fan and the cooling fan are connected and fixed to the top plate and the bottom plate using bolts, and the top plate and the bottom plate have the same structure and are made of the same material.

[0014] This utility model provides a peripheral power supply module for an Internet of Things (IoT) module, which has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. This utility model, by providing several honeycomb-shaped heat dissipation holes on the surface of the protective plate, ensures sufficient ventilation for the frame structure formed by the entire module frame, top plate, bottom plate, and fixing plate. This provides good ventilation and heat dissipation for the power module assembly during operation. Simultaneously, the entire power module assembly utilizes a limiting groove on the side surface of the heat-conducting plate to connect horizontally with a limiting tenon on one side surface of the protective plate via a sliding insertion method. This allows the entire power module assembly to be inserted into the center of the module frame. Furthermore, the module frame is interconnected with the top and bottom plates using an insertion structure, and the fixing plate is connected and fixed to the module frame, top plate, and bottom plate using bolts. This ensures the stability of the entire device structure while allowing for flexible and quick assembly and disassembly. Additionally, the power module body is vertically inserted into the top surface of the heat-conducting plate, and the two are connected and fixed using bolts. Therefore, the use of this structure facilitates the disassembly and maintenance of the power module body by operators, simplifying maintenance operations as much as possible and reducing maintenance costs through the modular structure.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, because the protective plate is made of the same material as the heat-conducting plate, the protective plate can assist the heat-conducting plate in dissipating the heat of the power module body. While providing structural protection, it also assists in heat dissipation. The buffer plate, used in conjunction with the protective plate, can further provide horizontal structural buffer protection for the power module assembly. The top plate and bottom plate provide vertical protection for the power module body, minimizing the impact of external forces on the power module body. In addition, the auxiliary fan installed at the bottom of the top plate and the cooling fan on the top surface of the bottom plate can provide effective heat dissipation for the operating power module assembly to the greatest extent. In conjunction with the structure of the module frame, the heat generated by the power module assembly during operation can be dissipated as quickly as possible to ensure the normal operation of the power module assembly.

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an IoT module peripheral power supply module includes a module frame 1 and a power module assembly 2. The power module assembly 2 is installed in the center of the module frame 1, and an external socket 3 is installed on one side of the module frame 1. A top plate 4 is installed on the top of the module frame 1, and a bottom plate 5 is installed on the bottom of the module frame 1. A fixing plate 6 is connected to the side of the module frame 1 away from the external socket 3. The module frame 1 includes a buffer plate 101, a protective plate 102, heat dissipation holes 103, and a limiting tenon 104. The protective plate 102 is connected to the left and right sides of the buffer plate 101, and heat dissipation holes 103 are opened on the surface of the protective plate 102. The protective plate 102 and the buffer plate 101 are located on the side closer to the power module assembly 2. The surfaces are all provided with limiting tenons 104. The buffer plate 101 and the protective plate 102 are connected to each other by an insertion structure. The heat dissipation holes 103 are arranged in a honeycomb structure and opened at the upper and lower ends of the surface of the protective plate 102. The power module assembly 2 is connected to the limiting tenon 104 on one side surface of the protective plate 102 in the horizontal direction by using the limiting groove 203 opened on the side surface of the heat conduction plate 202 and the limiting tenon 104 on one side surface of the protective plate 102 by sliding insertion. Thus, the entire power module assembly 2 is inserted into the middle of the module frame 1. At the same time, the module frame 1 is connected to the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 by an insertion structure, and the fixing plate 6 is connected and fixed to the module frame 1, the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 by bolt structure.

[0024] The power module assembly 2 includes a power module body 201, a heat-conducting plate 202, a limiting groove 203, and heat dissipation fins 204. The bottom of the power module body 201 is connected to the heat-conducting plate 202, and limiting grooves 203 are formed on the left, right, and rear surfaces of the heat-conducting plate 202. Heat dissipation fins 204 are installed on the bottom of the heat-conducting plate 202. The power module body 201 is embedded in the top surface of the heat-conducting plate 202, and the heat-conducting plate 202 and the power module body 201 are connected and fixed to each other by bolts. The inner surface structure of the limiting groove 203 matches the outer surface structure of the limiting tenon 104. The heat-conducting plate 202 and the heat dissipation fins 204 are integrated. The top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 are connected to the module frame 1 by... The mounting structures are interconnected, and the fixing plate 6 is connected and fixed to the module frame 1, top plate 4, and bottom plate 5 by bolts. Auxiliary fans 7 are symmetrically installed on one side of the bottom of the top plate 4, and cooling fans 8 are symmetrically installed on the middle of the top of the bottom plate 5. Both the auxiliary fans 7 and the cooling fans 8 are connected and fixed to the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 by bolts. The top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 have the same structure and are made of the same material. The auxiliary fan 7 installed at the bottom of the top plate 4 and the cooling fan 8 on the top surface of the bottom plate 5 can provide effective heat dissipation for the operating power module component 2 to the greatest extent. When used in conjunction with the structure of the module frame 1, the heat generated by the power module component 2 during operation can be dissipated as quickly as possible.

[0025] In summary, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, when using the peripheral power module of the Internet of Things module, the power module body 201 is first embedded vertically into the top surface of the heat-conducting plate 202. Then, the power module body 201 and the heat-conducting plate 202 are further connected and fixed using bolts. Next, the limiting groove 203 opened on the side of the heat-conducting plate 202 is used to insert it horizontally into the limiting tenon 104 on the surface of the protective plate 102. Then, the entire power module assembly 2 is pushed horizontally until it aligns with the limiting tenon 104 on the surface of the protective plate 102, thereby tightly inserting it into the middle of the module frame 1 and completing the structural connection.

[0026] Next, the auxiliary fan 7 and the cooling fan 8 are connected and fixed to the top plate 4 and the bottom plate 5 respectively using bolts. Then, the top plate 4 with the auxiliary fan 7 installed is vertically inserted into the top of the module frame 1, and the bottom plate 5 with the cooling fan 8 installed is vertically inserted into the bottom of the module frame 1. Then, the fixing plate 6 is horizontally embedded into the side of the module frame 1 away from the external socket 3, and the module frame 1, the top plate 4, the bottom plate 5, and the fixing plate 6 are simultaneously tightened with bolts to ensure the stability between the structures.

[0027] During the operation of the power module body 201, the dissipated heat will be dissipated through the heat conduction plate 202 and the heat dissipation fins 204. At the same time, the auxiliary fan 7 and the cooling fan 8 will operate synchronously, and the generated airflow will blow the heat away from the top of the power module body 201 and the bottom of the heat dissipation fins 204, respectively. With the help of the heat dissipation holes 103 on the surface of the protective plate 102, the ventilation and heat dissipation effect of the power module body 201 is ensured as much as possible, and the heat accumulation is prevented from affecting the normal operation of the power module body 201.

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the utility model to the forms disclosed. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of this utility model, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand this utility model and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.
