Detailed Implementation

[0020] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding of this utility model, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-4 A rail-mounted Internet of Things (IoT) gateway includes a gateway body 1 and a mounting base 2 disposed on one side of the gateway body 1. Grooves 4 are formed in the middle of both sides of the mounting base 2. Rotary knobs 5 are disposed inside the grooves 4. Threaded rods 6 passing through the mounting base 2 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotary knobs 5. Moving posts 7 are sleeved on the threaded rods 6. A connecting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the moving post 7. A plug-in rod 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting plate 9. Two sets of connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the mounting base 2. Two sets of connecting holes 14 are formed through the gateway body 1.

[0022] The external threads of the two sets of threaded rods 6 are symmetrically arranged. The movable column 7 has a threaded hole 8 through it, and the movable column 7 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6 through the threaded hole 8. The corner of the mounting base 2 is provided with a movable groove 20, and the movable column 7 is located inside the movable groove 20.

[0023] In this embodiment, the connecting plate 9 is moved by means of the threaded connection between the movable column 7 and the threaded rod 6.

[0024] The gateway body 1 has corner slots 12 at each corner, and the inner walls of the four corner slots 12 are provided with plug slots 13. The connecting plate 9 fits into the corner slots 12, and the plug rod 10 fits into the plug slots 13.

[0025] In this embodiment, the four sets of plug rods 10 and the four sets of plug slots 13 are used to fix the position of the gateway body 1 and the mounting base 2.

[0026] The two sets of connecting rods 11 are symmetrically arranged about the center of the mounting base 2, and the connecting rods 11 fit into the connecting holes 14.

[0027] In this embodiment, the gateway body 1 is connected to the mounting base 2 by the cooperation of the connecting rod 11 and the connecting hole 14.

[0028] Specifically, the gateway body 1 and the mounting base 2 are initially connected by the cooperation of two sets of connecting rods 11 and two sets of connecting holes 14. Then, the rotary knob 5 in the groove 4 is rotated to drive the two sets of threaded rods 6 to rotate together. Under the cooperation of the symmetrical external threads and threaded holes 8, the two sets of moving columns 7 are driven to move relative to each other along the two sets of moving grooves 20, which in turn drives the two sets of connecting plates 9 to move relative to each other until the connecting plate 9 is located inside the corner groove 12 and the plug rod 10 is located inside the plug groove 13. This realizes the function of quick assembly of the gateway body 1 and the mounting base 2 without the need for a large number of bolts, which significantly improves the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

The two sets of limiting rods 18 are symmetrically arranged about the adjusting screw 16.

[0031] In this embodiment, the screw 16 is adjusted to connect with the fixed plate 15 to facilitate the movement of the limiting plate 17.

[0032] Specifically, first rotate the adjusting screw 16 on the fixed plate 15, thereby driving the limiting plate 17 to move stably through the threaded connection between the adjusting screw 16 and the fixed plate 15, and the limiting rod 18 and the limiting sliding hole 19, until both sets of limiting plates 17 are in contact with the mounting rail 3. This can prevent relative shaking between the gateway mounting base 2 and the mounting rail 3 due to gaps, and ensure the stability of the IoT gateway's movement on the mounting rail 3.
