Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of network equipment installation technology, specifically an industrial internet gateway shell protection device. Background Technology
[0002] The Industrial Internet (IIoT) is an emerging business model and application paradigm formed by the deep integration of next-generation information technology and manufacturing, with broad development prospects. IIoT gateways aggregate data from various monitoring points via wireless or wired sensor networks for unified and effective monitoring. In the IIoT architecture, a gateway device is needed between the sensing layer network and the IIoT to achieve interconnection and interoperability. IIoT gateways aim to solve the current problems of horizontal disconnection between sensing layer network devices, hindering coordinated control and unified management. Using the IIoT as a carrier, the gateway facilitates information exchange, collecting, storing, analyzing, and managing information from sensing network devices scattered across various industrial sites, and can parse data under multiple protocols. Unlike ordinary gateways, IIoT gateways typically need to achieve real-time data transmission, display, and bidirectional control between local and cloud servers, often requiring support for different devices using multiple communication protocols. Therefore, the parallel use of multiple gateway devices is very common. Furthermore, the IIoT operates in a complex and diverse environment, and the network infrastructure, including the gateway casing, is susceptible to external environmental influences. In this context, designing a protective device that can centrally protect the gateway casing could potentially improve the safety and reliability of the device's operation. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to design a protective device that can provide centralized protection for the gateway casing, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the equipment operation.
[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An industrial internet gateway enclosure protection device includes a gateway enclosure, a horizontal plate, vertical plates, a groove, a slanted panel, ventilation holes, a longitudinal plate, mounting holes, a network cable connector, positioning protrusions, a female connector, a positioning insertion hole, a baffle, a mounting strip, a through hole, an outward-extending plate, and a first bolt. The horizontal plate consists of two horizontal pieces. On opposite sides of the two horizontal plates are several pairs of vertical plates, each pair forming a groove in the middle. A slanted panel is located on the front side of each vertical plate. Several ventilation holes are located on the horizontal plates between adjacent pairs of vertical plates. A longitudinal plate is fixedly connected between the two horizontal plates. Several mounting holes are located on the longitudinal plate, and network cable connectors are fixedly installed at these mounting holes. A female connector is located on the rear side of the gateway enclosure, and a male connector matching the female connector is located on the front side of the network cable connector.
[0006] The head and the female head are inserted into each other. The female head is provided with a positioning hole. The front side of the network cable connector is provided with a positioning protrusion. The positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning hole. There are baffles on the left and right sides of the horizontal plate. There is an installation strip on the front side of the horizontal plate. There is a through hole on the installation strip. There is an outer extension plate on the front outer edge of the gateway shell. The first bolt passes through the outer extension plate and the through hole and is fixed with the nut.
[0007] Preferably, a handle is provided on the front side of the gateway housing, and the handle is fixedly or rotatably connected to the front panel of the gateway housing.
[0008] Preferably, the longitudinal plate is provided with a second bolt, which secures the network cable connector at the mounting hole.
[0009] Preferably, the outer surface of the gateway housing has several raised textures.
[0010] Preferably, fan mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the horizontal plate, and a fan is fixedly installed in the fan mounting holes, with the fan's airflow direction being vertical.
[0011] Preferably, a raised strip is provided on the rear side of the horizontal plate, and several third bolts are used to fix the raised strip to the external foundation surface.
[0012] Preferably, a plurality of rollers are provided in the trough, the plurality of rollers are located on the same plane, and the top surface of the plurality of rollers is located on the same plane as the cross plate.
[0013] In this invention, two horizontal plates and one vertical plate are connected to form a groove-shaped support. Inside this support, paired vertical plates form a groove, which serves as a channel for inserting and removing the gateway housing. When the gateway housing is inserted into the groove, it is protected by the support, preventing damage from external impacts. During insertion, the inclined plate acts as a guide. The ventilation holes located between the grooves serve as vertical heat dissipation ducts. The mounting holes on the vertical plate are used to install network cable connectors. The male connector on the front of the network cable connector engages with the female connector on the rear of the gateway housing, thus keeping the wiring point on the rear of the network cable connector for easy centralized wiring. The positioning protrusions and positioning holes act as guides during the engagement process. The baffle acts as a barrier from the outside. After the gateway housing is inserted into the groove, its front outward-extending plate and mounting strip are abutted. At this point, the first bolt passes through the through hole and is fixed with the nut, thus securing the gateway housing.
[0014] This utility model discloses a protective device for the casing of an industrial internet gateway. This device features an insertable support structure for the gateway casing, allowing for centralized installation and protection of multiple gateway devices. Simultaneously, it retains ample space for heat dissipation. This utility model not only protects the gateway casing but is also easy to install, compact in structure, and performs well in use.
