[0024] 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.

[0025] To achieve the above-mentioned utility model objectives, such as Figures 1-4As shown, this utility model provides a portable IoT gateway, including a host 1. Multiple network interfaces 2 are provided inside the front end of the host 1. A power switch 3 is located to the right of the multiple network interfaces 2, and a power interface 4 is located to the right of the power switch 3. Both the power switch 3 and the power interface 4 are located inside the front end of the host 1. A signal booster rod 5 is located at the upper left front corner of the host 1. A connection socket 6 is located on the left side of the front end of the host 1, and a connection socket 7 is snapped into the connection socket 6. The signal booster rod 5 is rotatably connected to the upper rear side of the connection socket 7. The IoT gateway is electrically connected to an external power source through the power interface 4 and a power plug. It controls the switch via the power switch 3, connects to the external network through the multiple network interfaces 2, transmits, receives, and boosts network signals through the signal booster rod 5, and connects to external devices through the transmission and reception of signals via the signal booster rod 5, thereby realizing remote control of external devices.

[0026] The connection socket 6 has a handle groove on its lower front end. The connection socket 7 is electrically connected to the host 1 via a wiring harness. The signal enhancement rod 5 is electrically connected to the connection socket 7 via a wiring harness. Multiple limit blocks 8 are provided at both ends of the connection socket 7. Multiple limit slots 9 are provided on the inner walls of both ends of the connection socket 6, and the multiple limit blocks 8 are respectively engaged in the multiple limit slots 9. A magnetic pad 20 is provided inside the lower end of the connection socket 7. A wiring harness groove 10 is provided at the rear end of the connection socket 6. A storage groove 11 is provided at the upper end of the connection socket 6 and the wiring harness groove 10. The storage slot 11 is located inside the upper left side of the main unit 1. The signal booster rod 5 can be rotated and inserted into the storage slot 11, so that the connection socket 7 is engaged inside the connection hole 6 through multiple limiting blocks 8 and multiple limiting slots 9. It can also be pulled out from the connection hole 6 through the handle slot, so that the signal booster rod 5 can be connected to the main unit 1 as a whole through the connection hole 6 and the connection socket 7. The signal booster rod 5 can be rotated to adjust its position according to the arrangement environment, and can be rotated into the storage slot 11 for storage during carrying, improving portability.

[0027] In addition, the signal booster pole 5 can be pulled out from the connection socket 6 through the connection socket 7 and separated from the host 1, and connected to the host 1 through the wiring harness. This allows the host 1 and the signal booster pole 5 to be separated into two independent units, improving the flexibility of IoT gateway deployment. The signal booster pole 5 can be placed in a location with better signal and can be attached to the placement location by the magnetic pad 20, ensuring the stability of the signal booster pole 5 and ensuring communication quality.

[0028] Preferably, the connector 7 has a cable reel compartment 12 inside, with a cable outlet 13 connected to its rear end. The cable outlet 13 is located at the center of the rear end of the connector 7. A turntable 14 is connected to the upper front end of the cable reel compartment 12, also located at the upper front end of the connector 7. An electrode shaft 15 is located at the center inside the cable reel compartment 12. A take-up shaft 16 is sleeved around the electrode shaft 15 and rotatably connected inside the cable reel compartment 12. Limiting discs 17 are connected to both ends of the upper end of the take-up shaft 16. The radius of the upper limiting disc 17 is larger than that of the lower limiting disc 17, and the upper disc protrudes outside the front end of the connector 7 through the turntable 14. During the process of disassembling and connecting the host 1 and the signal enhancement rod 5, the cable reel compartment 12 is connected to the cable outlet 14. The connecting wire harness between the connector 7 and the host 1 can be retracted and withdrawn from the winding compartment 12. When the signal booster 5 is connected to the host 1 as one unit, the limiting disc 17 protruding from the front end of the connector 7 through the rotating port 14 is rotated to wind the connecting wire harness, winding it outside the winding shaft 16 and inside the winding compartment 12, so that the connecting wire harness does not obstruct the connector 7 from being inserted into the connector socket 6. When the signal booster 5 and the host 1 are separated into two independent units, the connector 7 is pulled forward to allow the connecting wire harness to be withdrawn from the outlet 13, increasing the length of the wire harness between the host 1 and the connector 7, thereby increasing the length of the wire harness between the host 1 and the signal booster 5, improving the arrangement range of the signal booster 5, and increasing the arrangement flexibility.

[0029] Preferably, the inner wall of the cylindrical take-up shaft 16 is provided with multiple outer electrode sleeves 18, and the outer wall of the cylindrical electrode shaft 15 is provided with multiple inner electrode rings 19. The multiple inner electrode rings 19 correspond one-to-one with the multiple outer electrode sleeves 18 and are respectively attached to the multiple outer electrode sleeves 18. The connecting socket 7 is electrically connected to the host 1 through the multiple outer electrode sleeves 18 and the wire harness. The signal enhancement rod 5 is electrically connected to the multiple inner electrode rings 19 through the wire harness. During the process of pulling out and winding the connecting wire harness between the host 1 and the connecting socket 7, the upper limiting plate 17 is moved. The upper limiting plate 17 drives the take-up shaft 16 and the lower limiting plate 17 to rotate inside the winding chamber 12, and drives the connecting wire harness to disengage from the outside of the take-up shaft 16 or drive the connecting wire harness to be wound back to the outside of the take-up shaft 16. At this time, the connecting wire harness between the host 1 and the connecting socket 7 is connected to multiple outer electrode sleeves 18, and the connecting wire harness between the signal enhancement rod 5 and the connecting socket 7 is connected to multiple inner electrode rings 19. The multiple inner electrode rings 19 are always in contact with the multiple outer electrode sleeves 18 and are rotatably connected to the outside of the multiple outer electrode sleeves 18. This allows the signal enhancement rod 5 to be stably connected to the host 1 through the connecting wire harness, multiple outer electrode sleeves 18 and multiple inner electrode rings 19 during the process of pulling out and rewinding the connecting wire harness. It can also be flexibly arranged through the extended connecting wire harness when the host 1 and the signal enhancement rod 5 are separated into two independent units. When the host 1 and the signal enhancement rod 5 are connected as one unit, the connection between the connecting socket 7 and the connecting jack 6 is achieved through the rewinding of the wire harness.
