Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of intelligent gateways, and particularly relates to an intelligent edge gateway for a power distribution station building. Background Technique

[0002] An intelligent edge computing gateway is a key device for edge computing. Edge computing is a distributed computing model that pushes computing and data processing capabilities closer to the data source, aiming to provide low-latency and high-efficiency computing and data processing services.

[0003] In the traditional power grid system, for edge devices at the remote end, the gateways configured on-site generally can only perform data processing on a single type of sensor (mainly temperature and humidity, digital input / output) and then upload the data to the server upward and perform sensing control on the device downward. With the enrichment and expansion of power remote infrastructure, the information of edge devices required by the server side is no longer limited to basic environmental variables, but also requires the information transmitted back by the edge gateway to include device operation anomaly alarms, on-site monitoring video retrieval, transceiver of remote control signals, etc., so as to achieve the status monitoring and linkage control of edge devices.

[0004] The intelligent edge gateway is at the data access and aggregation layer, playing a connecting role between the upper and lower layers. It accesses the lower sensing layer and the upper access platform layer, and the access methods and protocols are diverse. It can achieve centralized monitoring of various electromechanical devices, environmental devices, security devices, video devices, linkage devices, etc. in the entire station building.

[0005] Through the collected dynamic environment data and videos, the overall operation of the power distribution station building can be comprehensively monitored, thereby reducing the manual patrol cost, improving the security guarantee, ensuring the safety of the power grid and the reliability of power consumption, and improving the level of operation and maintenance management work.

[0006] In terms of market demand, due to the lack of real-time monitoring means in the power distribution station building, the operation status of the equipment cannot be viewed in time. Affected by auxiliary equipment and technical factors, on-site operation and maintenance personnel still need to conduct regular inspections, with a large workload. In addition, the harsh operation environment of the distribution room itself directly affects the reliable operation of the equipment.

[0007] In the existing intelligent edge gateways for power distribution station buildings, the following technical problems exist:

[0008] 1. Assembly problem of the intelligent edge gateway. Since the general intelligent edge gateway is assembled in two parts, a base and an upper cover, the power switch is installed on the base, and there are interfaces on both the front and back of the board. When assembling, there needs to be space to place the board, which results in only one side of the board being flush with the panel, and it cannot ensure that the outer sides of the interfaces on both sides are flush with the panel. The invention adds a rear board, and the chassis is of a three-part split structure, solving the problem that the outer sides of the interfaces before and after the assembly of the intelligent edge gateway are not flush with the panel.

[0009] 2. The problem of multiple screws in the assembly of the smart edge gateway cover. Traditional smart edge gateway covers are assembled and fixed to the base with multiple screws, resulting in a poor appearance and unsightly appearance. This invention adds inserts to the cover and base for easy connection and assembly, thus solving the aesthetic problem of the cover assembly.

[0010] 3. Installation Issues of Smart Edge Gateways. Most smart edge gateways are typically installed in cabinets, with two mounting ears on the front panel. However, if the cabinets in a power distribution room are already full and cannot accommodate further internal installation, wall-mounted installation is necessary. Currently, two mounting ears are generally not rotatable and are often insufficient for secure mounting. This invention adds two mounting ears on the back, and all four ears can rotate freely, solving the problem of wall-mounted installation of smart edge gateway electrodes.

[0011] 4. Appearance and Interchangeability Issues of Smart Edge Gateways. Traditional smart edge gateways have the indicator light side on the front and wiring on the back, lacking mounting brackets on the back. However, the installation environment may not have a back door, leading to wiring difficulties and preventing the chassis from being interchanged front and back. This invention allows for interchangeable installation front and back; the presence of silkscreen printing or front and back films does not affect the appearance, thus solving the interchangeability problem of smart edge gateways.

[0012] 5. Heat dissipation problem of intelligent edge gateways. Since typical intelligent edge gateways are made of carbon steel, which has poor air heat dissipation, and the heavy chassis makes it difficult to reduce the heat generated by components such as the MCU and power module, leading to problems such as unstable performance, abnormal noises, and high power consumption. This invention adds a heat dissipation structure, solving the problem of poor heat dissipation in intelligent edge gateways.

[0013] 6. The problem of non-insulation between the smart edge gateway antenna and the chassis. Because the antenna and chassis of a typical smart edge gateway are connected by metal, there is no insulation between them, leading to signal instability and dust ingress. This invention adds a rubber protective coil, solving the problem of non-insulation between the smart edge gateway antenna and the chassis.

[0014] 7. Protection issues of smart edge gateways. Because the interface openings of typical smart edge gateway chassis are too large, they cannot meet the IP41 protection level requirements, leading to dust ingress and poor protection. This invention solves the problem of poor protection for smart edge gateways by customizing the opening shape and size according to the actual components.

[0015] 8. The issue of securing SIM and TF cards in smart edge gateways. Typically, smart edge gateway SIM and TF cards are not protected after insertion, resulting in poor fixation between the card and the card slot. During transportation or vibration of the equipment in the station, the card can easily be ejected, causing it to malfunction. This invention adds a card adhesive film, solving the problem of securing SIM and TF cards in smart edge gateways.

[0016] 9. Problem of loose power switch in smart edge gateway. Because the power switch hole in a typical smart edge gateway is square, although simple to manufacture, it can cause the power switch to loosen, posing a safety hazard of electrical leakage. This invention improves the power switch fixing hole based on the actual product, thus solving the problem of loose power switch in smart edge gateways.

[0017] 10. Smart Edge Gateway Terminal Plug Selection Issue. Traditional smart edge gateway terminal plugs use screws for tightening wiring, and the double-layer plugs are unidirectional. When maintaining wiring on the lower plug, the upper plug must be removed first, which is inconvenient. This invention solves the problem of inconvenient wiring and maintenance of smart edge gateways by optimizing the terminal plug selection. Utility Model Content
