The top surface of the motherboard is provided with a core module. The sub-board of the motherboard is provided with several sets of network port modules and a set of power supply modules. The network port modules and power supply modules are arranged in a corresponding manner with the plug-in interface on the rear side wall of the housing.
[0010] Furthermore, a buffer ring is provided between the outer shell and the bottom cover, and the buffer ring is made of elastic foam / rubber material, and bolts are inserted into the bottom end of the bottom cover and the internal threaded connecting post to fix them.
[0011] Furthermore, the heat dissipation assembly includes an air intake channel fixedly mounted on the bottom cover. A motor mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air intake channel.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a modular smart IoT gateway includes a housing 1 and a smart IoT gateway module 2, which is fixedly installed inside the housing 1 by screws; as Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, heat dissipation holes 101 are equidistantly provided on both sides of the outer shell 1, and several sets of insertion interfaces 102 are provided on the rear side wall of the heat dissipation holes 101. At least four sets of stepped support seats 103 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the heat dissipation holes 101, and internal threaded connecting columns 104 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the outer shell 1. Bolts are inserted into the top of the top cover 3 and the internal threaded connecting columns 104 to fix them.
[0026] More specifically, the rear side wall of the outer casing 1 is provided with several sets of plug-in interfaces 102 for electrical connection with other devices or modules. The stepped support 103 on the bottom inner side of the outer casing 1 is used to support and position the smart IoT gateway module 2. The top cover 3 is fixed to the inner casing 3 by bolts through the internal threaded connecting column 104, ensuring a tight connection between the top cover 3 and the outer casing 1, facilitating disassembly and installation, so as to maintain and upgrade the internal module.
[0027] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, the smart IoT gateway module 2 includes a motherboard 201 that is bolted to the top surface of the stepped support 103. The top surface of the motherboard 201 is provided with a core module 202. The sub-board of the motherboard 201 is provided with several sets of network port modules 203 and a set of power supply modules 204. The network port modules 203 and the power supply modules 204 are correspondingly arranged with the plug interface 102 on the rear side wall of the outer casing 1.
[0028] More specifically, the top surface of the motherboard 201 is equipped with a core module 202, which is responsible for core functions such as data processing and protocol conversion. The network port module 203 is used for wired connection with other network devices. The power supply module 204 provides power support for the entire gateway module. The network port module 203 and the power supply module 204 are correspondingly set with the plug interface 102 on the rear side wall of the casing 1 to ensure that the electrical connection between the module and the casing 1 is stable and reliable, and to realize the data transmission and power supply functions.
[0029] A top cover 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the outer casing 1, and a bottom cover 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the outer casing 1; for example Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, a buffer ring 4 is provided between the outer shell 1 and the bottom cover 5, and the buffer ring 4 is made of elastic foam / rubber material, and bolts are inserted into the bottom end of the bottom cover 5 and the internal threaded connecting post 104 to fix them.
[0030] More specifically, the buffer ring 4 is made of elastic foam or rubber material, which has good sealing performance and can effectively prevent dust, moisture and other external substances from entering the interior of the outer shell 1, thereby improving the protection level of the equipment. At the same time, the buffer ring 4 can also play a certain role in shock absorption, enhancing the stability of the equipment during use.
[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some practical applications, two sets of parallel support legs 51 are fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the bottom cover 5. When the support legs 51 are placed on the gateway, the bottom surface of the bottom cover 5 is suspended from the table.
[0032] More specifically, when the modular smart IoT gateway is placed on a desktop or other flat surface, the support leg 51 raises the bottom of the bottom cover 5 above the desktop, which can elevate the device, prevent the bottom from directly contacting the desktop and affecting heat dissipation, avoid damage to the device due to moisture on the desktop, and increase the stability of the device placement, preventing the device from shifting or tipping over due to accidental collisions during use.
[0033] A heat dissipation component 6 is provided on the bottom cover 5 to dissipate heat from the airflow inside the outer casing 1 to the smart IoT gateway module 2; for example Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, specifically, the heat dissipation assembly 6 includes an air inlet channel 601 fixedly mounted on the bottom cover 5. A motor mounting bracket 602 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air inlet channel 601. A motor 603 is fixedly inserted into the inside of the motor mounting bracket 602, and a fan blade 604 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 603. Metal mesh plates 605 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air inlet channel 601 on the upper and lower sides of the motor 603 and the fan blade 604, respectively.
[0034] More specifically, the output of the motor 603 drives the fan blades 604 to rotate, generating airflow inside the housing 1 to remove the heat generated by the smart IoT gateway module 2, thus achieving heat dissipation and ensuring stable operation of the device. The metal mesh plate 605 serves as a filter and protector, preventing foreign objects from entering the interior of the housing 1.
[0035] In summary: The smart IoT gateway module 2 is fixedly installed inside the housing 1 with screws. The housing 1 provides overall support and protection. It is fixedly installed on the bottom and top surfaces of the housing 1 by the bottom cover 5 and the top cover 3. The bottom cover 5 is equipped with a heat dissipation component 6 to promote airflow inside the housing 1, dissipate heat from the smart IoT gateway module 2, ensure that the module operates at a stable operating temperature, and improve the reliability and service life of the device.
