By setting up the dustproof structure, unused interfaces can be protected from dust, preventing dust from clogging the interfaces and affecting subsequent interface use; by setting up the mounting structure, the gateway body can be quickly installed and disassembled, achieving the effect of convenient maintenance of the gateway body.

[0004] Although the aforementioned industrial IoT communication gateway can solve the corresponding technical problems, its shield and gateway body adopt a separate structure.

The whole operation process is relatively cumbersome. In addition, the shield and the limiting groove are relatively thin, making it inconvenient to insert the shield. Therefore, an IoT smart communication gateway is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides an IoT smart communication gateway, including: an IoT smart communication gateway body 1, an interface 2, and a dustproof component 3 for shielding and preventing dust from the interface 2. Multiple interfaces 2 are equally spaced on the surface of the IoT smart communication gateway body 1. The dustproof component 3 is disposed on the IoT smart communication gateway body 1. The dustproof component 3 includes a cover plate 31 movably connected to the surface of the IoT smart communication gateway body 1 for shielding the interface 2. The number of cover plates 31 is the same as the number of interfaces 2, and the cover plates 31 and interfaces 2 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. Both sides of the cover plate 31 are rotatably connected to protrusions 32 through a pivot. One side of the protrusion 32 is fixedly connected to the IoT smart communication gateway body 1. A connector is provided between the cover plate 31 and the IoT smart communication gateway body 1.

[0026] One side of the cover plate 31 is glued with a rubber plug 33 for sealing the interface 2. The rubber plug 33 has the same shape as the interface 2. The rubber plug 33 can seal the opening of the interface 2, which can further improve the sealing between the cover plate 31 and the interface 2 and help improve the dustproof effect.

[0027] The rubber plug 33 has a protrusion on the side away from the cover plate 31 so that the rubber plug 33 can be inserted into the inner cavity of the interface 2.

[0028] The top of the IoT smart communication gateway body 1 is provided with a groove 34 for storing the cover plate 31. The thickness of the groove 34 is adapted to the thickness of the cover plate 31. When the cover plate 31 is not in use, it can be flipped upward so that the cover plate 31 is placed in the inner cavity of the groove 34 for storage.

[0029] The connector includes a magnet 35 fixedly connected to one side of the cover plate 31. A first iron strip 36 is embedded on the surface of the IoT smart communication gateway body 1. The first iron strip 36 is located below the interface 2. A second iron strip 37 is embedded at the bottom of the inner cavity of the groove 34. The first iron strip 36 and the second iron strip 37 can be magnetically attracted to one side of the magnet 35. When the magnet 35 and the first iron strip 36 are magnetically attracted to each other, the cover plate 31 can be stably kept in the blocking state in front of the interface 2. When the magnet 35 and the second iron strip 37 are magnetically attracted to each other, the cover plate 31 can be stably stored in the groove 34 and kept in the open state.

[0030] Among them, the magnet 35 is fixedly connected to the side away from the cover plate 31 with a lever 38. The inner cavity of the groove 34 is provided with a finger groove 39 for accommodating the lever 38. The lever 38 allows the user to manually flip the cover plate 31. The finger groove 39 ensures that the cover plate 31 can simultaneously store the lever 38 when it is open.

[0031] The finger groove 39 is larger than the size of the lever 38 to ensure that the finger can be placed in the inner cavity of the finger groove 39 to activate the lever 38.

[0032] The cross-section of the lever 38 is semi-elliptical, and a gap is formed between the bottom of the lever 38 and the IoT smart communication gateway body 1 for the finger to press the cover plate 31 so that the finger can bear force.

[0033] The working principle of the IoT smart communication gateway body 1 in this embodiment is the same as that of the gateway body disclosed in the patent with announcement number CN220798443U, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When a certain interface 2 is not in use, place your finger in the inner cavity of the corresponding finger groove 39 and pull the lever 38 upwards. This causes the lever 38 to move the magnet 35, the cover plate 31, and the rubber plug 33 synchronously. The magnet 35 separates from the second iron strip 37 until the cover plate 31 rotates 270°, allowing the rubber plug 33 to be inserted into the inner cavity of the interface 2. The magnet 35 and the first iron strip 36 are magnetically attracted and connected, thus allowing the cover plate 31 to stably cover the front of the interface 2 for dust prevention. Conversely, when a certain interface 2 is in use, place your finger in the gap between the corresponding lever 38 and the IoT smart communication gateway body 1 and pull the lever 38 upwards until the cover plate 31 rotates 270°. This causes the cover plate 31 to be placed in the inner cavity of the groove 34, allowing the magnet 35 and the second iron strip 37 to be magnetically attracted and connected, thus allowing the cover plate 31 to be stably stored in the inner cavity of the groove 34.

[0041] The security protection module employs advanced encryption technology and security strategies to ensure data security during communication.

[0042] The user interaction module provides a user-friendly interface and interaction method to facilitate users in configuring devices, setting parameters, and monitoring and managing them. Users can access the IoT smart communication gateway through various means such as mobile APP and web page.

[0043] Among them, the power module is used to provide operating power to each module;
