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.
[0036] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an industrial gateway with protective functions, including an industrial gateway body 1, a connection interface 2 on the outer wall of the industrial gateway body 1, multiple indicator lights 3 installed on the outer wall of the industrial gateway body 1, a mounting plate 4 fixed on one side of the industrial gateway body 1, an interface protection mechanism 5 on the outer wall of the mounting plate 4, a power cord 6 installed on the outer side of the industrial gateway body 1, a connecting rotating shell 7 hinged to the top of the industrial gateway body 1, a connecting handle 8 fixed on one side of the connecting rotating shell 7, and an auxiliary maintenance mechanism 9 installed on the top of the industrial gateway body 1.
[0037] The interface protection mechanism 5 includes a fixed mounting sleeve 51, a supporting connecting sleeve 52 fixed to the bottom of the fixed mounting sleeve 51, and a top protective sleeve 53 rotatably connected to the top of the fixed mounting sleeve 51 via a pivot. Reinforcing protective sleeves 54 are fixed to the inner walls of both the fixed mounting sleeve 51 and the top protective sleeve 53. A cast iron block 55 is fixed to one side of the top protective sleeve 53, and an upper threaded rod 56 is fixed to the outer wall of the cast iron block 55. A connecting block 57 is fixed to one side of the mounting plate 4, and a cast iron pad 58 is fixed to the top of the connecting block 57. A lower threaded rod 59 is fixed on the outside. The lower threaded rod 59 and the upper threaded rod 56 are connected by a metal nut 510 on their outer threads, which can easily fix the top protective sleeve 53 and the fixed mounting sleeve 51. The inner wall of the reinforced protective sleeve 54 fits against the outside of the power cord 6. The mounting plate 4 has mounting holes that are adapted to the size of the power cord 6. The reinforced protective sleeve 54 protects the outside of the power cord 6. The fixed mounting sleeve 51 and the mounting plate 4 are fixedly connected. The support connecting sleeve 52 and the mounting plate 4 are fixedly connected.
[0038] The auxiliary maintenance mechanism 9 includes an anti-detachment sliding block 91, a handle plate 92 fixed to the top of the anti-detachment sliding block 91, a positioning rod 93 fixed to one side of the anti-detachment sliding block 91, an anti-detachment groove 94 opened on the top of the industrial gateway body 1, a connecting threaded rod 95 fixed to one side of the positioning rod 93, a limit pad 96 fixed to one end of the connecting threaded rod 95, a connecting threaded sleeve 97 threadedly connected to the outer side of the connecting threaded rod 95, an L-shaped plate 98 fixed to the top of the connecting rotating housing 7, and a through groove opened inside the L-shaped plate 98. The size of the through groove is adapted to the size of the connecting threaded rod 95, allowing one end of the positioning rod 93 to be movably inserted into the inside of the L-shaped plate 98, and the connecting threaded rod 95 to be movably inserted into the corresponding through groove at the same time. The industrial gateway body 1 is slidably connected to the anti-detachment sliding block 91 through the anti-detachment groove 94. The outer side of the connecting threaded sleeve 97 is provided with anti-slip texture. When the corresponding surface of the connecting threaded sleeve 97 and the corresponding surface of the L-shaped plate 98 are in contact, the closed structure of the connecting rotating housing 7 can be ensured to be stable.
[0039] Working principle: After one end of the power cord 6 is connected to the main body 1 of the industrial gateway, the top protective sleeve 53 on the top of the fixed mounting sleeve 51 is moved so that the corresponding surfaces of the top protective sleeve 53 and the reinforced protective sleeve 54 on the inner wall of the fixed mounting sleeve 51 are in contact with the outside of the power cord 6. At this time, the bottom surface of the upper half threaded rod 56 on the outside of the cast iron block 55 is in contact with the top surface of the lower half threaded rod 59. Then, the metal nut 510 is used to thread the upper half threaded rod 56 and the lower half threaded rod 59, quickly completing the connection between the top protective sleeve 53 and the fixed mounting sleeve 51. When it is necessary to open the connecting rotating housing 7 for internal maintenance of the industrial gateway body 1, the connecting threaded sleeve 97 on the outside of the connecting threaded rod 95 can be rotated so that the corresponding surface of the connecting threaded sleeve 97 is away from the L-shaped plate 98. Then, the handle plate 92 is turned to drive the anti-disengagement sliding slider 91 to slide in the anti-disengagement groove 94, and drive the positioning rod 93 to disengage from the L-shaped plate 98, thereby releasing the lock of the connecting rotating housing 7. The connecting rotating housing 7 can then be turned and opened. The connecting rotating housing 7 can be opened with simple operation.
[0040] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
