Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of gateway technology, and specifically to an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway with multi-communication fusion and intelligent topology construction functions. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, IoT technology has developed rapidly, with various IoT devices emerging and being widely used in multiple fields. The massive scale of these devices has placed more stringent demands on the interconnection between devices and the efficient transmission and management of data.

[0003] The demands for IoT communication technologies vary across different application areas. In smart home scenarios, users expect to control various smart devices such as smart lights, smart door locks, and smart appliances anytime, anywhere using mobile phones and other terminal devices. This requires stable and high-speed short-range communication technologies as support. In the field of smart agriculture, due to the vast area of ​​farmland and the dispersed distribution of equipment, it is necessary to monitor environmental parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and light intensity in large areas of farmland in real time. Therefore, long-range and low-power communication technologies have become a necessity. In industrial automation scenarios, not only is it required that devices can transmit data in real time and accurately, but it also needs to have high reliability and stability to ensure the normal operation of the production process.

[0004] Furthermore, as IoT applications become increasingly complex and diverse, the performance requirements for sensor networks are also rising. Industry 4.0 emphasizes the intelligent and automated production processes, which necessitates sensor networks capable of collecting massive amounts of data such as equipment status and production parameters in real time, and accurately feeding back control commands to the executing devices. However, traditional sensor networks, which mostly employ unidirectional transmission and simple topologies, cannot meet this requirement.

[0005] Limited functionality and poor integration: Most existing gateway devices only support one or a few communication technologies, unable to simultaneously support multiple communication methods such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, and LoRa. This necessitates deploying multiple gateways of different types to meet the communication needs of various devices in practical applications, increasing system construction costs and management complexity. Furthermore, their data processing and analysis capabilities are limited, mostly performing only data forwarding, making it difficult to filter, aggregate, analyze, and preprocess large amounts of real-time data, thus failing to provide valuable information to upper-layer applications.

[0006] Significant performance bottlenecks exist: In terms of data transmission rate, when connecting a large number of devices and transmitting data frequently, gateways are prone to insufficient bandwidth and transmission latency. In smart homes, if multiple smart devices are controlled simultaneously, control commands may not respond promptly. Network stability is also poor, greatly affected by environmental factors (such as electromagnetic interference and signal obstruction). In complex environments such as factories and underground parking lots, signals are easily interrupted by interference, affecting normal device communication. Furthermore, the limited concurrent connection capacity of gateways makes it difficult to support large-scale IoT device access, restricting the expansion of IoT systems.

[0007] Lack of intelligent decision-making capabilities: Most existing gateways lack intelligent decision-making capabilities, failing to dynamically adjust configurations and policies based on network conditions, device status, and business needs. For example, during network congestion, they cannot automatically optimize data transmission paths and priorities, leading to delays in critical data transmission and impacting normal business operations. Furthermore, they cannot promptly detect and take effective measures in the event of device failure, reducing system reliability and stability. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IoT gateway with multi-communication fusion and intelligent topology construction functions, which solves the problems of traditional sensor networks that mostly adopt unidirectional transmission and simple topology structures, have limited functions, poor integration, prominent performance bottlenecks, and lack of intelligent decision-making capabilities.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0010] An IoT gateway with multi-communication convergence and intelligent topology construction functions includes a display screen, a housing, a top motherboard, a middle motherboard, and a bottom motherboard. The display screen is embedded in the middle of the upper part of the housing and is electrically connected to the top motherboard, the middle motherboard, and the bottom motherboard. The top motherboard, the middle motherboard, and the bottom motherboard are disposed inside the housing. The top motherboard is located at the upper part of the housing. The lower part of the top motherboard is connected to the middle motherboard, and the lower part of the middle motherboard is connected to the bottom motherboard.

[0011] The top-level motherboard includes a GPS core board, a 4G core board, a Lora and Zigbee core board, a CPU core board, a wired communication core board, and control buttons. The GPS core board, 4G core board, Lora and Zigbee core board, CPU core board, and wired communication core board are arranged horizontally from left to right in the center of the top-level motherboard. Several control buttons are arranged on the front of the top-level motherboard.

[0012] The intermediate motherboard includes a GPS antenna interface, a Lora / Zigbee antenna interface, a Lora host antenna interface, a WiFi / Bluetooth antenna interface, and an RTC battery. The rear of the intermediate motherboard is arranged horizontally from left to right with the GPS antenna interface, Lora / Zigbee antenna interface, Lora host antenna interface, and WiFi / Bluetooth antenna interface in sequence. The RTC battery is located on the right side of the center of the intermediate motherboard.

[0013] The bottom motherboard includes a 485 communication module, a relay module, a USB debugging and USB hub module, a power module, a bottom motherboard CPU, a debugging interface, a PMC data communication connector, a 485 communication interface, a relay interface, a wired communication interface, and a TYPE-C data interface. The 485 communication module, relay module, USB debugging and USB hub module, and power module are arranged horizontally from left to right at the center of the bottom motherboard. The bottom motherboard CPU is located behind the 485 communication module and the relay module. The debugging interface is located behind the power module. The PMC data communication connector is located on the right side of the power module. The 485 communication interface, relay interface, wired communication interface, and TYPE-C data interface are arranged horizontally from left to right at the front of the bottom motherboard.

[0014] Furthermore, the housing includes a top outer shell, an upper waterproof gasket, a housing body, a bottom waterproof gasket, and a bottom outer shell. The lower part of the top outer shell is connected to the housing body, and the upper waterproof gasket is provided between the top outer shell and the housing body. The lower part of the housing body is connected to the bottom outer shell, and the bottom waterproof gasket is provided between the housing body and the bottom outer shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the upper end of the control button extends out of the upper part of the housing.

[0016] Furthermore, the CPU core board and the bottom motherboard CPU are equipped with an automated mesh topology primary module.

[0017] The GPS core board, 4G core board, LoRa and Zigbee core boards, wired communication core board, 485 communication module, relay module, USB debugging and USB HUB module are equipped with an automated mesh topology secondary module.

[0018] The automated mesh topology primary module within the CPU core board is electrically connected to the automated mesh topology secondary modules within the GPS core board, 4G core board, LoRa and Zigbee core boards, and wired communication core board.

[0019] The automated mesh topology primary module within the bottom motherboard CPU is electrically connected to the automated mesh topology secondary module within the 485 communication module, relay module, USB debugging module, and USB HUB module.

[0020] The automated mesh topology primary module and the automated mesh topology secondary module are electrically connected.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This application integrates multiple communication technologies, leveraging the powerful processing capabilities and rich interfaces of the ESP32, and meticulously designs the hardware circuit to highly integrate various wireless communication modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, LoRa, GPS, Zigbee, and Thread. By optimizing the electrical connections and signal interactions between modules, it ensures stable operation of each communication module and minimizes mutual interference, enabling a single gateway device to support multiple communication methods. This breaks the limitation of traditional gateways that can only adapt to a single or a few communication technologies, meeting the communication needs of different scenarios and devices. Simultaneously, a new Ethernet interface is added to support wired network connections, further expanding network access methods and meeting the needs of scenarios with extremely high network stability requirements, such as industrial automation control centers, where wired networks can ensure low latency and high reliability of data transmission. Optimized sensor network: Automated mesh topology construction, based on star and tree topology sensor networks, constructs an automated mesh topology structure, in which any node can transmit data through multiple parent nodes. Each node only records information about its own parent node, eliminating the need to maintain complex routing tables, thus significantly reducing network complexity and management costs. Furthermore, each node and its child nodes form a two-level tree network. This hierarchical structure not only simplifies data forwarding paths but also reduces the number of hops for data packets within the network, thereby improving data transmission efficiency. This patented product incorporates multiple sensors and multiple RS-485 ports, and can directly form nodes, achieving a combined node and gateway function, further enhancing the convenience and efficiency of sensor network construction.

[0022] Hardware Functionality Expansion: In addition to the core functions mentioned above, this patented product supports a display that shows basic information such as resolution, allowing users to intuitively understand the device status and parameter settings. It also possesses powerful self-monitoring capabilities, able to read information such as motherboard operating temperature and humidity, as well as input voltage. By monitoring these key hardware parameters in real time, it helps to promptly detect potential device malfunctions, such as overheating of the motherboard which may indicate a heat dissipation problem, allowing for early maintenance. Furthermore, it provides data for optimizing device performance, such as dynamically adjusting the operating frequency based on CPU temperature to ensure stable and efficient operation.

[0023] Safety Protection Mechanisms: Built-in overvoltage, overcurrent, overload, and surge protection circuits provide comprehensive safety protection for the equipment. In complex electrical environments, such as industrial sites with frequent power grid fluctuations, these protection circuits effectively prevent damage to the equipment caused by abnormal voltage increases, excessive current, overload operation, or surge impacts. They also provide some lightning protection, ensuring hardware safety, extending equipment lifespan, and guaranteeing the long-term stable operation of the IoT system. Furthermore, the 485 interface supports programmable terminating resistor access, allowing flexible adjustment of interface electrical characteristics according to actual communication needs, improving communication reliability, and reducing signal reflection and interference. This is particularly suitable for long-distance, multi-node 485 bus communication scenarios.

[0024] Communication Flexibility and Efficiency: Through the integration of multiple communication technologies, the gateway can flexibly switch between communication methods such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G, LoRa, Zigbee, Thread, and Ethernet to meet the communication needs of devices in different scenarios. In smart home scenarios, Wi-Fi is used for short-range, high-speed devices, Bluetooth for low-power, short-range devices, 4G for remote data interaction, and LoRa for long-range, low-power sensors, achieving seamless interconnection between devices, improving the communication efficiency and stability of the IoT system, and reducing data transmission delays or interruptions caused by incompatible communication technologies.

[0025] High reliability and fault tolerance: By constructing an automated mesh topology sensor network, data can be automatically forwarded through other nodes in the event of node failure or signal interference, greatly improving network reliability and fault tolerance. In industrial environments, equipment is often subjected to electromagnetic interference, and traditional topology networks are easily affected. However, this patented technology can ensure stable data transmission and guarantee the normal operation of production monitoring and management systems.
