Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of Internet of Things (IoT) gateway technology, and in particular to an IoT gateway device using power line carrier communication technology. Background Technology

[0002] IoT gateways serve as a link between sensing networks and traditional communication networks. As gateway devices, IoT gateways can realize protocol conversion between sensing networks and communication networks, as well as between different types of sensing networks, enabling both wide-area interconnection and local-area interconnection.

[0003] A search revealed that utility model patent CN221995475U discloses an industrial IoT gateway device, including a gateway body. The gateway body is equipped with an installation mechanism, which includes a U-arm. A spring is connected to the inner wall of the U-arm, and a pressure block is connected to the spring. The arm is glued and fixed to the worktable with double-sided adhesive. The pressure block presses the gateway body against a limiting plate for limiting and clamping. The inclined surface of the inner wall of the pressure block can automatically correct and match gateway bodies of different thicknesses.

[0004] The aforementioned IoT gateway device can be installed extremely quickly using double-sided tape. However, when the double-sided tape falls off the installation location, its adhesiveness decreases or even disappears, making it impossible to reinstall the device later, which is inconvenient in actual use.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an Internet of Things gateway device based on power line carrier communication technology to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an IoT gateway device based on power line carrier communication technology. After the double-sided tape under the base plate loses its adhesiveness, the double-sided tape can be repositioned, thus maintaining the quick installation effect while allowing the device to be repeatedly glued and reused. This is more convenient in actual use and solves the problem mentioned in the background art that when the double-sided tape falls off from the installation position, the adhesiveness of the double-sided tape will decrease or even lose its adhesiveness, making it impossible to reinstall the device and causing inconvenience in actual use.

[0007] According to one aspect of this disclosure, the following technical solution is provided: an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway device based on power line carrier communication technology, comprising:

The segmented release paper is attached to the inner and outer sides of the double-sided tapes.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment of the power line carrier communication technology Internet of Things gateway device of the present disclosure, the driving mechanism includes a fixed block, a guide rod and a limiting ring.

[0030] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the drive mechanism 2 and clamping and fixing mechanism 3 of an Internet of Things gateway device based on an embodiment of the power line carrier communication technology according to this disclosure.

[0031] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the cyclic attachment mechanism 4 of an Internet of Things gateway device based on a power line carrier communication technology according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0032] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the power line carrier communication technology Internet of Things gateway device disclosed herein may include components such as: gateway body 1, drive mechanism 2, clamping and fixing mechanism 3, and cyclic attachment mechanism 4.

[0033] The gateway body 1 is equipped with a power line carrier communication module, which can receive communication signals from the target device through the power line. It should also be noted that the power line carrier communication module is a solution that has been disclosed in the prior art and is not a necessary technical feature of this application.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown in this disclosure, the driving mechanism 2 includes a fixed block 21, a guide rod 22, a limiting ring 23, a bidirectional screw 24, and an annular lever 25. The fixed block 21 is fixedly disposed on the top of the base plate 41 and fits against the housing 42. The guide rod 22 passes through the fixed block 21 and is fixedly connected to the fixed block 21. Two limiting rings 23 are provided, and the two limiting rings 23 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer ends of the guide rod 22. The bidirectional screw 24 passes through the fixed block 21 and is rotatably connected to the fixed block 21 through a bearing. Two annular levers 25 are provided, and the two annular levers 25 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the outer ends of the bidirectional screw 24.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the clamping and fixing mechanism 3 includes an L-shaped clamping plate 31, a clearance groove 32, a first limiting block 33, and a second limiting block 34. The L-shaped clamping plate 31 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 22 and the bidirectional screw 24. The L-shaped clamping plate 31 is slidably connected to the guide rod 22 and is drively connected to the bidirectional screw 24. The clearance groove 32 is opened on the side of the L-shaped clamping plate 31. The first limiting block 33 is fixedly disposed on the top of the L-shaped clamping plate 31, and the second limiting block 34 is fixedly disposed on the top of the fixing block 21.

[0036] Therefore, when assembling the gateway body 1 into the inner side of the clamping and fixing mechanism 3, the gateway body 1 can be placed between the two L-shaped clamping plates 31 and made to fit against the fixing block 21. Then, the annular dial 25 is rotated, which in turn causes the annular dial 25 to drive the bidirectional screw 24 to rotate. When the bidirectional screw 24 rotates, it causes the two L-shaped clamping plates 31 to move closer to each other until the two L-shaped clamping plates 31 are clamped on both sides of the gateway body 1. At this time, the first limiting block 33 and the second limiting block 34 are pressed against the top of the gateway body 1, thereby limiting its movement.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown in this disclosure, the circulating attachment mechanism 4 includes a base plate 41, a receiving housing 42, a rotating shaft 43, a positioning plate 44, double-sided adhesive tape 45, and segmented release paper 46. The base plate 41 is attached to the bottom of the gateway body 1. The receiving housing 42 is fixedly disposed at the rear end of the base plate 41. The rotating shaft 43 is rotatably nested inside the receiving housing 42 via bearings. Two positioning plates 44 and two double-sided adhesive tapes 45 are provided. The two positioning plates 44 are respectively fixedly sleeved at both ends of the outer side of the rotating shaft 43. The two double-sided adhesive tapes 45 are respectively wound around both ends of the outer side of the rotating shaft 43. The segmented release paper 46 is attached to the inner and outer sides of the double-sided adhesive tapes 45.

[0038] This allows for the pulling of the end of the double-sided tape 45, followed by peeling off the inner section of the pulled-out release paper 46. The double-sided tape 45 is then adhered to the bottom of the base plate 41. This process is repeated to adhere another double-sided tape 45. The outer sections of the release paper 46 on both double-sided tapes 45 are then peeled off. At this point, the device can be fully adhered to the installation position using the two double-sided tapes 45. Subsequently, when the adhesiveness of the double-sided tape 45 below the base plate 41 weakens, the weakened portion of the double-sided tape 45 is cut off. The double-sided tape 45 is then pulled out again and adhered to the bottom of the base plate 41 once more. Compared to existing technologies, this allows for the rearrangement of the double-sided tape 45 after its adhesiveness decreases below the base plate 41. This maintains the rapid installation effect while enabling the device to be repeatedly adhered and reused, making it more convenient in actual use.

[0039] It should also be noted that any content not described in detail in this specification is prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0040] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrating the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of the present disclosure.
