Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of modular gateway device technology, and in particular to a novel modular gateway device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of IoT technology, the demand for interconnectivity among various smart devices is increasing. As a core hub connecting different network protocols and devices, the stability and reliability of new modular gateway devices have become key areas of technological research and development. Furthermore, the increasing demands for device integration and environmental adaptability in scenarios such as industrial automation and smart buildings further exacerbate this trend.

[0003] In the field of interface protection, existing gateway devices primarily employ mechanical structures such as fixed dustproof baffles or single sealing strips. These structures typically block external dust through physical shielding, utilizing the vertical raising and lowering of the baffle or the elastic compression of the sealing strip to form a protective barrier. For example, some devices cover the interface area with a rigid baffle connected by hinges, relying on manual opening and closing to switch between dustproof and operational modes; other devices embed rubber sealing strips at the interface edges, using the deformation of the strip to fill interface gaps, thereby reducing the possibility of dust intrusion.

[0004] However, existing fixed dustproof structures have significant drawbacks. Because the opening angle between the baffle and the interface is fixed and lacks an adaptive adjustment mechanism, dust easily accumulates through the gaps between the baffle and the interface when the equipment is idle for extended periods or in high-dust environments. This problem directly leads to the risk of oxidation of the electrical contacts within the interface, and physical blockages also occur frequently, resulting in signal transmission interruptions, communication delays, and even equipment shutdowns in severe cases. Therefore, a novel modular gateway device is proposed to address these issues. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides a novel modular gateway device, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art where dust or particulate matter entering the interface causes oxidation or physical blockage of electrical contacts, leading to signal transmission interruption, communication delay or device downtime.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A novel modular gateway device includes a protective shell, a first connecting block fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective shell, an interface fixedly connected inside the protective shell, a connecting component disposed inside the first connecting block, and a protective component disposed on the side wall of the protective shell.

[0008] The protective component includes a fixing post, the side wall of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective shell. One end of the fixing post is fixedly connected to a fixing shaft. A first spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the fixing shaft. One end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixing shaft. The other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to a dust cover. A second connecting block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dust cover. The side wall of the dust cover is disposed on the side wall of the interface.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The connecting component includes a hollow column, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inside of the first connecting block.

[0011] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0012] A support ring is fixedly connected inside the hollow column, and a connecting column is slidably connected inside the support ring.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0014] A handle is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column, and the outer wall of the connecting column is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow column.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] A sliding ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column, and the outer wall of the sliding ring is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0018] A second spring is provided at the top of the sliding ring. One end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding ring, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow column.

[0019] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] One end of the connecting column is fixedly connected to a trapezoidal column, and the outer wall of the trapezoidal column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The trapezoidal column has a retaining ball on its outer wall, and the retaining ball's outer wall is located inside the hollow column.

[0023] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] In this invention, by moving the dust cover, the connecting block is rotated. The rotation of the connecting block causes the first spring to contract and retract onto the outer wall of the fixed shaft, thus achieving the effect of dustproofing the interface. This solves the problem that dust or particulate matter entering the interface can cause oxidation or physical blockage of electrical contacts, leading to signal transmission interruption, communication delay, or equipment shutdown, and improves the practicality of the new modular gateway device.

[0025] In this invention, pulling the handle moves the connecting column, which in turn moves the sliding ring on the outer wall. This causes the second spring at the top to retract, and the movement of the connecting column moves the trapezoidal column, which then presses the ball on the outer wall against the interior of the hollow column. This achieves the effect of quickly disassembling the gateway device, solving the problem of needing to stop the system and gradually disassemble the outer shell / fixed parts when the module fails, which prolongs the maintenance time and affects the availability of the system. This improves the convenience of the new modular gateway device. Attached Figure Description

[0033] 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.

[0034] Reference Figures 1-3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a novel modular gateway device, comprising a protective shell 1, a first connecting block 2 fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective shell 1, and an interface 8 fixedly connected inside the protective shell 1. The interface 8 is composed of standard communication interfaces such as RJ45 and USB, and supports multi-protocol data transmission. This is prior art and will not be described in detail here. A connecting component is provided inside the first connecting block 2, and a protective component is provided on the side wall of the protective shell 1.

[0035] The protective component includes a fixed post 4, the side wall of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the protective shell 1. One end of the fixed post 4 is fixedly connected to a fixed shaft 5. The fixed shaft 5, together with the first spring 6, forms an elastic rotation mechanism. When the dust cover 3 is turned, the second connecting block 7 rotates around the shaft and stretches the spring. After being released, it automatically resets due to the spring's rebound force, thus realizing the opening and closing of the dust cover 3. The outer wall of the fixed shaft 5 is fitted with the first spring 6. One end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 5, and the other end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the dust cover 3. The outer wall of the dust cover 3 is fixedly connected to the second connecting block 7. The side wall of the dust cover 3 is set on the side wall of the interface 8.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The connecting assembly includes a hollow column 9, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the inside of the first connecting block 2. A support ring 11 is fixedly connected inside the hollow column 9, and a connecting column 16 is slidably connected inside the support ring 11. A handle 10 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 16. When the handle 10 is pulled, the connecting column 16 drives the trapezoidal column 14 to move axially, and its inclined surface forces the retaining ball 15 to contract radially, releasing the retaining connection with the external structure and realizing the rapid separation of the gateway device. The outer wall of the connecting column 16 is slidably connected to the inside of the hollow column 9, and a sliding ring 12 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting column 16. The outer wall of the sliding ring 12 is slidably connected to the hollow column 9. The inner wall of the sliding ring 12 is provided with a second spring 13 at the top. The second spring 13 provides an elastic reset function. When the handle 10 is released, it pushes the sliding ring 12 to reset, drives the trapezoidal column 14 back to its original position and pushes out the locking ball 15, automatically restoring the locked state and ensuring the stability of the equipment connection. One end of the second spring 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding ring 12, and the other end of the second spring 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 9. One end of the connecting column 16 is fixedly connected to the trapezoidal column 14. The outer wall of the trapezoidal column 14 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the hollow column 9. The outer wall of the trapezoidal column 14 is provided with a locking ball 15, and the outer wall of the locking ball 15 is located inside the hollow column 9.

[0037] Working principle: When using the new modular gateway device and connecting to interface 8, firstly, the dust cover 3 is moved. The dust cover 3 is subjected to force, which drives the second connecting block 7 on the outer wall to rotate. Then, during the rotation of the second connecting block 7, the first spring 6 is driven to retract. The first spring 6 retracts to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 5. At the same time, one end of the first spring 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inside of the dust cover 3. Then, when the dust cover 3 is moved, the rebound force of the first spring 6 will reset the dust cover 3, thereby achieving the effect of dust protection for interface 8.

[0038] Next, when quickly disassembling the device, first pull the handle 10. The handle 10, under force, drives the connecting column 16 at one end to slide inside the hollow column 9. Then, as the connecting column 16 moves, it will move the sliding ring 12 on the outer wall. Next, as the sliding ring 12 moves, it will retract the second spring 13 at the top. Then, as the connecting column 16 moves, it will move the trapezoidal column 14 at one end as well. And as the trapezoidal column 14 moves, it will release the force on the retaining ball 15 on the outer wall, causing the retaining ball 15 to retract into the hollow column 9, thereby achieving the effect of quickly disassembling the gateway device.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
