Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical engineering, and in particular relates to an Internet of Things (IoT) driver. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve timed on / off switching and brightness adjustment, LED lights typically have a driver installed inside the electrical cavity to control the light source module. The driver connects to external components such as the light source module via wiring. However, different countries have different requirements for the wiring materials used in these connections, and existing wiring, such as the output and input lines of the driver's internal power supply, is fixed on the power board. To meet the different requirements for wiring materials and lengths, there are hundreds of different types of drivers, making inventory and management extremely difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical objective of this invention is to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) driver to solve the technical problem of poor versatility in the application of existing drivers.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0005] An Internet of Things (IoT) driver includes:

[0006] The outer casing has a power supply cavity and a wiring cavity inside it. A first partition is provided between the power supply cavity and the wiring cavity. A wire-passing hole is provided on the first partition to connect the power supply cavity and the wiring cavity.

[0007] The power supply compartment contains a power board, and the wiring compartment contains wiring terminals. The power board's connecting wires are detachably connected to the wiring terminals via wire holes. The wiring terminals can also be detachably connected to input and output wires for connecting other external components.

[0008] The wiring cavity has an opening at the top for inserting wiring terminals, and a removable top cover is provided at the opening, which is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity.

[0009] The wiring cavity has several slots on its inner wall and several downward protrusions on the periphery of the top cover. The protrusions can be inserted into the corresponding slots and are interference-fitted with the slot walls.

[0010] The bottom of the protrusion has a groove.

[0011] The wiring cavity has an opening at the top for inserting the wiring terminal, and a removable top cover is provided at the opening. The top cover also has a through-hole for applying glue. When the top cover is installed in the opening, glue is injected into the wiring cavity through the glue hole to achieve waterproof sealing.

[0012] Specifically, a second partition is provided inside the wiring cavity, which divides the interior of the wiring cavity into a first cavity and a second cavity; a notch is provided on the second partition, through which the first cavity and the second cavity are connected to each other; wiring terminals are placed in the first cavity and the second cavity respectively, and the wiring terminals in the different cavities are connected to the input line and the output line respectively.

[0013] The terminal block has a protrusion on its outer side and a corresponding slot inside the wiring cavity. The protrusion is inserted into the corresponding slot to achieve an interference fit.

[0014] Specifically, the bottom of the protrusion has a groove.

[0015] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art:

[0016] This utility model provides a wiring cavity on the side of the power supply cavity and has built-in wiring terminals, so that the input and output lines of the power supply do not need to be directly fixed to the power board inside the power supply cavity. The input and output lines can be disassembled and replaced as needed, and it can support the replacement of any line length and the replacement of lines with different safety regulations from different countries.

[0017] The top of the wiring cavity has an opening for inserting terminals and plugging / unplugging wires. A detachable top cover is installed at this opening, which fits tightly against the inner wall of the wiring cavity, making installation very convenient. The top cover also has a caulking hole, allowing for the application of sealant to achieve a waterproof seal after the top cover is fixed, preventing issues such as incomplete sealant application.

[0018] There are multiple terminals, and the power input and output lines are connected to different terminals to avoid electromagnetic compatibility issues. Adjacent terminals are separated by partitions with notches to facilitate glue application.

[0019] The terminal block has a protrusion on its outer side and a corresponding slot inside the wiring cavity. The protrusion can be inserted into the slot for an interference fit to achieve a fixed position. By fixing the terminal block inside the wiring cavity, the terminal block is less likely to wobble when inserting or removing wires, making insertion and removal more convenient and less likely to affect the structure of the terminal block itself.

[0029] The present invention provides a more detailed description of an Internet of Things (IoT) driver in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims.

[0030] Example

[0031] See Figures 1 to 4This embodiment provides an Internet of Things (IoT) driver, which includes a housing and a power supply cavity 1 and a wiring cavity 2 formed within the housing. The power supply cavity 1 and the wiring cavity 2 are arranged adjacent to each other, and a first partition 10 is provided between them. The first partition 10 has a wire-through hole 3, which allows the power supply cavity 1 and the wiring cavity 2 to communicate with each other. A power board is provided in the power supply cavity 1, and a terminal block 4 is provided in the wiring cavity 2. The connecting wires of the power board are detachably connected to the terminal block 4 through the wire-through hole 3. The terminal block 4 is also detachably connected to an input line 51 and an output line 52 for connecting other external components. The input line 51 and the output line 52 can be the power supply input line and output line, or they can be waterproof lines for connecting a communication module.

[0032] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wiring cavity 2 is located beside the power supply cavity 1 and contains a built-in terminal block 4, so that the input line 51 and the output line 52 do not need to be directly fixed to the power board inside the power supply cavity 1. Previously, because both the input and output lines were fixed to the power board, there were hundreds of types of IoT drivers to meet different cable requirements and lengths, making inventory and management extremely difficult. In this implementation, by adding the wiring cavity 2 and the terminal block 4, the input line 51 and the output line 52 can be disassembled and replaced as needed, supporting the replacement of cables of any length and specification. Therefore, only the same IoT driver needs to be used, and the corresponding cable needs to be replaced for compatibility.

[0033] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the top of the wiring cavity 2 has an opening for inserting the terminal block 4 and plugging / unplugging the wire. A removable top cover 6 is provided at the opening, and the top cover 6 is interference-fitted with the inner wall of the wiring cavity 2. Specifically, several slots 7 are provided on the inner wall of the wiring cavity 2, and several downward protrusions 8 are provided on the periphery of the top cover 6. When the top cover 6 is installed, the protrusions 8 are inserted into the corresponding slots 7 and are interference-fitted with the slot walls, making installation very convenient. In addition, to facilitate the insertion of the protrusions 8, a groove is provided at the bottom of the protrusions 8 to facilitate deformation. Preferably, the top cover 6 also has a through-hole 9 for applying glue. When the top cover 6 is installed in the opening, glue is injected into the wiring cavity 2 through the glue hole 9 to achieve waterproof sealing. This prevents the problem of incomplete glue application when applying glue before putting on the top cover 6.

[0034] See Figure 2 and Figure 4In this embodiment, to avoid electromagnetic compatibility issues, multiple terminals 4 are used, with the input line 51 and output line 52 connected to different terminals 4. Additionally, a second partition 11 is provided inside the wiring cavity 2, dividing the interior of the wiring cavity 2 into a first cavity and a second cavity, thus isolating adjacent terminals 4. For ease of potting, a notch 12 is provided in the second partition 11, allowing communication between the first and second cavities.

[0035] Further, see Figure 4 The terminal block 4 is detachably connected to the wiring cavity 2. A protrusion 13 is provided on the outer side of the terminal block 4, and a corresponding slot 14 is provided inside the wiring cavity 2. The protrusion 13 is inserted into the corresponding slot 14 to achieve an interference fit for fixation. By fixing the terminal block 4 inside the wiring cavity 2, the terminal block 4 is less likely to wobble when inserting or removing wires, making insertion and removal more convenient. Furthermore, by using a protrusion on the outer side of the terminal block 4 to engage with the slot 14 for fixation, the structure of the terminal block 4 itself is less likely to be affected during insertion and removal. It is easy to understand that the terminal block 4 is made of plastic, and an interference fit could easily cause cracks, affecting its performance. Similarly, to facilitate smooth insertion of the protrusion 13 into the slot 14, a groove is provided at the bottom of the protrusion 13.

[0036] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
