Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of control protocol gateway technology, specifically a control protocol gateway. Background Technology

[0002] A gateway is a protocol conversion device that connects different networks. It mainly performs data format, protocol or communication standard conversion at the network layer and above, ensuring interconnection between heterogeneous networks and solving compatibility issues between different network protocols, such as IPv4 to IPv6 conversion. It also filters illegal traffic through firewalls and access control policies to protect the internal network.

[0003] For example, the authorization announcement number "CN217883453U" is named "IoT Multi-Protocol Control Smart Gateway". By making the power plug of the smart gateway detachable and replaceable, it can change to different power plug specifications and supports multiple communication protocols, enabling interconnection between devices with different protocols. It is highly practical. Existing protocol control smart gateways need to be connected to different lines to perform protocol conversion between networks. Therefore, it is best to fix the gateway between two devices that need to convert protocols. As a result, conventional gateways need to be fixed by using external screws to screw into the mounting points. Normal gateways can be used for mounting and fixing, but the direction, position and angle of the gateway installation cannot be adjusted according to the actual situation. Therefore, the installation of the gateway in actual use is greatly limited.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing protocol-controlled smart gateways have an internal PCB board to connect various network lines for network conversion. Therefore, when the protocol-controlled smart gateway is working, it will generate a certain amount of heat. The heat is dissipated only through tiny heat dissipation holes on both sides. Once the heat dissipation holes are blocked, the heat will accumulate and cannot be dissipated quickly, affecting the normal operation of the protocol-controlled smart gateway. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of limited installation and poor heat dissipation of existing protocol-controlled smart gateways, and to propose a control protocol gateway.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] Design a control protocol gateway, including a control protocol gateway body, RJ ports, and antennas. Two RJ ports are fixedly installed on one end of the control protocol gateway body, and multiple antennas are fixedly connected to the other end of the control protocol gateway body. Adjustable direction mounting structures are provided on both sides of the control protocol gateway body. An overhead heat dissipation structure is provided at the lower end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body. The adjustable direction mounting structure includes connecting plates and rotating sleeves. Two connecting plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body. A convex shaft is fixedly connected to the outer side of the two connecting plates. Multiple mating grooves are fixedly opened on the outer wall of the two convex shafts. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two convex shafts. A rotating sleeve is fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding sleeve. A first protrusion is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating sleeve.

[0008] Preferably, the inner walls of the two rotating sleeves are slidably connected to the outer wall of the convex shaft, and the side of the first convex block is slidably connected to the inner side of the mating groove.

[0009] Preferably, the outer sides of the two rotating sleeves are provided with a bidirectional threaded mounting structure. The bidirectional threaded mounting structure includes an extension frame and mounting bolts. The extension frame is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve. Mounting bolts are movably connected to both sides of the extension frame. Washers are movably sleeved at the ends of the mounting bolts. Fixing nuts are threaded onto the outer sides of the mounting bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the overhead heat dissipation structure includes disassembly screws and a heat dissipation groove. The heat dissipation groove is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body. A second protrusion is fixedly connected to the lower end of the outer wall of the heat dissipation groove. A partition is fixedly installed on the other side of the multiple second protrusions. Multiple heat-conducting strips are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the heat dissipation groove. Multiple disassembly screws are threadedly connected to the front end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body.

[0011] Preferably, a USB interface is fixedly installed at the top of the control protocol gateway body.

[0012] Preferably, multiple indicator lights are fixedly installed on the side wall of the control protocol gateway body.

[0013] The control protocol gateway proposed in this utility model has the following advantages: Under normal circumstances, the rotating sleeve is fitted on the outside of the convex shaft, and the convex block will be stuck inside a certain docking groove. When the control protocol gateway needs to be installed in a specific position with an inclined angle, the rotating sleeve can be pulled outward until the convex block leaves the range of the docking groove. Then, the rotating sleeve is rotated laterally until the extension bracket with the rotating sleeve corresponds to the angle of the installation position. At this time, the rotating sleeve is pushed inward so that the convex block is inserted into the docking groove of the corresponding position. This allows for the adjustment of a suitable fixed angle to accommodate different installation positions. Furthermore, the rotating sleeves on both sides can be adjusted at different angles to adapt to more installation points, making the installation of the control protocol gateway less restricted.

[0014] The heat dissipation slot uses a grid plate made of copper. Multiple protruding parallel heat-conducting strips are fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation slot. The heat-conducting strips are also made of copper, which has good heat transfer performance. In this way, the heat dissipation slot, together with multiple heat-conducting strips, greatly increases the heat dissipation area, which facilitates the heat generated inside the control protocol gateway body to be discharged. The protrusions support the partition at the lower end of the control protocol gateway body. So when the control protocol gateway body needs to be laid flat on the ground, the partition will contact the ground, raising the control protocol gateway body in the air and leaving enough space for heat dissipation.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] Please see Figure 1-6In this embodiment, a control protocol gateway includes a control protocol gateway body 1, RJ45 ports 2, and antennas 3. Two RJ45 ports 2 are fixedly installed on one end of the control protocol gateway body 1. RJ45 ports are a relatively mature technology at present. RJ45 is a type of information socket connector in cabling systems, consisting of a plug and a socket. This allows RJ45 network cables to be connected to the control protocol gateway body 1. Multiple antennas 3 are fixedly connected to the other end of the control protocol gateway body 1. The antennas 3 are made of multiple copper metals and are used to receive signals for the control protocol... The gateway body 1 has adjustable direction mounting structures 6 on both sides, and an overhead heat dissipation structure 8 is provided at the lower end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. The adjustable direction mounting structure 6 includes a connecting plate 61 and a rotating sleeve 63. The two connecting plates 61 are fixedly installed on both sides of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. The connecting plates 61 are made of polyvinyl chloride plastic and are fixed on both sides of the control protocol gateway body 1. The connecting plates 61 are used to support the protruding shafts 62 extending outward. The protruding shafts 62 are fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two connecting plates 61. The front end of the protruding shafts 62 is provided with a sliding sleeve 66 that can be pulled and slid laterally. The outer wall of the sliding sleeve 66 can rotate. The sliding but non-detachable aluminum alloy tubing has a sliding sleeve 66 at one end that restricts the rotation of the rotating sleeve 63 along the outer side of the convex shaft 62 and its lateral sliding. Multiple mating grooves 64 are fixedly formed on the outer walls of the two convex shafts 62. The sliding sleeve 66 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the two convex shafts 62. Normally, the rotating sleeve 63 is fitted onto the outer side of the convex shaft 62, and the first protrusion 65 is engaged in one of the mating grooves 64. When the control protocol gateway needs to be installed at a specific location with an angle, the rotating sleeve 63 can be pulled outwards until the first protrusion 65 leaves the range of the mating groove 64. Then, the rotating sleeve 63 can be rotated laterally. Rotate until the extension bracket 71 of the rotating sleeve 63 corresponds to the installation position angle. Then push the rotating sleeve 63 inward so that the first protrusion 65 is inserted into the corresponding docking groove 64. This allows for adjustment of the appropriate fixing angle to accommodate different installation positions. The two rotating sleeves 63 can be adjusted to different angles to accommodate more installation points. The other end of the sliding sleeve 66 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 63. The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 63 is fixedly connected to the first protrusion 65. The inner walls of the two rotating sleeves 63 are slidably connected to the outer wall of the convex shaft 62. The side of the first protrusion 65 is slidably connected to the inner side of the docking groove 64.

[0025] Normally, the rotating sleeve 63 is fitted onto the outside of the convex shaft 62, and the first protrusion 65 is engaged in a certain docking groove 64. When the control protocol gateway needs to be installed in a specific position with an angle, the rotating sleeve 63 can be pulled outward until the first protrusion 65 leaves the range of the docking groove 64. Then, the rotating sleeve 63 is rotated laterally until the extension bracket 71 of the rotating sleeve 63 corresponds to the angle of the installation position. At this time, the rotating sleeve 63 is pushed inward so that the first protrusion 65 is inserted into the corresponding docking groove 64. This allows for adjustment of the appropriate fixed angle to accommodate different installation positions. Furthermore, the rotating sleeves 63 on both sides can be adjusted to different angles to accommodate more installation points, making the installation of the control protocol gateway less restricted.

[0026] Two rotating sleeves 63 are provided with a two-way threaded mounting structure 7 on their outer sides. The two-way threaded mounting structure 7 includes an extension frame 71 and a mounting bolt 72. The extension frame 71 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 63. The extension frame 71 is made of a relatively strong stainless steel sheet. There are two extension frames 71 arranged vertically in parallel. When fixing and installing, one side of the extension frame 71 is vertically attached to the wall or the top of the gateway frame. The mounting bolt 72 is passed through the internal hole of the extension frame 71. The outer side of the mounting bolt 72 is fitted with a rubber washer 73. Finally, the fixing nut 74 is screwed into the protruding end of the mounting bolt 72 to lock it. The two sides of the extension frame 71 are movably connected with the mounting bolt 72. The end of the mounting bolt 72 is movably fitted with a washer 73. The washer 73 has the function of increasing friction and protecting the outer wall of the extension frame 71. The outer thread of the mounting bolt 72 is fitted with a fixing nut 74.

[0027] The overhead heat dissipation structure 8 includes disassembly screws 81 and a heat dissipation channel 84. The heat dissipation channel 84 is fixedly installed on the lower end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. The heat dissipation channel 84 is made of a mesh plate made of copper. Multiple protruding parallel heat-conducting strips 85 are fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation channel 84. The heat-conducting strips 85 are also made of copper material with good heat transfer effect. In this way, the heat dissipation channel 84 and multiple heat-conducting strips 85 greatly increase the heat dissipation area, which facilitates the heat generated inside the control protocol gateway body 1 to be discharged. A second protrusion 82 is fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the heat dissipation channel 84. The second protrusion 82 supports the partition 83 on the control protocol gateway body. At the lower end of body 1, when the control protocol gateway body 1 needs to be laid flat on the ground, the partition 83 will contact the ground, raising the control protocol gateway body 1 in the air to reserve sufficient heat dissipation space. The partition 83 is fixedly installed on the other side of multiple second protrusions 82. Multiple heat conduction strips 85 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the heat dissipation groove 84. Multiple disassembly screws 81 are threaded to the front end of the outer wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. The disassembly screws 81 install one side plate of the control protocol gateway body 1 at the end. In this way, unscrewing the disassembly screws 81 can remove one side plate of the control protocol gateway body 1 for easy internal cleaning and maintenance.

[0028] The heat dissipation slot 84 is made of a copper mesh plate. Multiple protruding parallel heat-conducting strips 85 are fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation slot 84. The heat-conducting strips 85 are also made of copper material with good heat transfer effect. In this way, the heat dissipation slot 84 and multiple heat-conducting strips 85 greatly increase the heat dissipation area, which facilitates the heat generated inside the control protocol gateway body 1 to be discharged. The second protrusion 82 supports the partition 83 at the lower end of the control protocol gateway body 1. In this way, when the control protocol gateway body 1 needs to be laid flat on the ground, the partition 83 will contact the ground, raising the control protocol gateway body 1 in the air to reserve sufficient heat dissipation space.

[0029] A USB interface 4 is fixedly installed on the top of the control protocol gateway body 1. The USB interface is existing technology, which makes it convenient for the control protocol gateway body 1 to connect with other electronic devices using USB data cables. Multiple indicator lights 5 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. When there is a line connection between the USB interface 4 and the RJ45 port 2 above, the corresponding indicator light 5 will light up to remind the staff that the line has been connected. If the interface is loose or the connection is not tight, the indicator light 5 will not light up.

[0030] Working principle:

[0031] Control protocol gateways are protocol conversion devices used to connect different networks. They mainly convert data formats, protocols, or communication standards at the network layer and above, ensuring interconnection between heterogeneous networks and solving compatibility issues between different network protocols.

[0032] The control protocol gateway has a PCB board inside the main body 1, and then uses the network cable and data line connected to it to perform data transmission protocol conversion;

[0033] When a control protocol gateway is working, it requires a device to send data. When the device sends data, the gateway first receives and parses it, a process that includes identifying the data's source, format, and protocol. The gateway then converts the received data according to the target network's protocol. For example, if the source device uses the MQTT protocol and the target device uses the CoAP protocol, the gateway will convert the MQTT data to CoAP data to ensure the data can be correctly parsed and processed on the target device. The converted data is then encapsulated into the format required by the target network and sent to the target device. This process may include data encoding, encapsulation, and compression to ensure reliable transmission and efficient use of the data. Finally, when the target device returns response data, the gateway receives this data, performs necessary parsing and conversion, and then sends it back to the source device.

[0034] Multi-angle installation structure of control protocol gateway:

[0035] The connecting plate 61 is made of polyvinyl chloride plastic material and is fixed on both sides of the control protocol gateway body 1. The connecting plate 61 is used to support the protruding shaft 62 extending outward. The front end of the protruding shaft 62 is provided with a sliding sleeve 66 that can be pulled and slid laterally. The outer wall of the sliding sleeve 66 is a metal aluminum alloy tube that can rotate and slide but will not fall off. The other end of the sliding sleeve 66 can restrict the rotating sleeve 63 from rotating and sliding laterally along the outside of the protruding shaft 62.

[0036] Normally, the rotating sleeve 63 is fitted on the outside of the convex shaft 62, and the first protrusion 65 will be locked inside a certain docking groove 64. When the control protocol gateway needs to be installed in a specific position with an inclined angle, the rotating sleeve 63 can be pulled outward until the first protrusion 65 leaves the range of the docking groove 64. Then, the rotating sleeve 63 is rotated laterally until the extension bracket 71 of the rotating sleeve 63 corresponds to the angle of the installation position. At this time, the rotating sleeve 63 is pushed inward so that the first protrusion 65 is inserted into the docking groove 64 at the corresponding position. This allows for the adjustment of the appropriate fixed angle to accommodate different installation positions. Furthermore, the two rotating sleeves 63 on both sides can be adjusted to different angles to adapt to more installation points.

[0037] Installation and fixing structure of the control protocol gateway:

[0038] The extension frame 71 is made of a relatively sturdy stainless steel sheet. There are two extension frames 71 arranged vertically in parallel. During fixed installation, one side of the extension frame 71 is vertically attached to the wall or the top of the gateway frame. The mounting bolt 72 is passed through the internal hole of the extension frame 71. The rubber washer 73 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting bolt 72. Finally, the fixing nut 74 is screwed into the protruding end of the mounting bolt 72 to lock it. The washer 73 has the function of increasing friction and protecting the outer wall of the extension frame 71.

[0039] Control protocol gateway heat dissipation structure:

[0040] The heat dissipation slot 84 is made of a copper mesh plate. Multiple protruding parallel heat-conducting strips 85 are fixed to the outer wall of the heat dissipation slot 84. The heat-conducting strips 85 are also made of copper material with good heat transfer effect. In this way, the heat dissipation slot 84 and multiple heat-conducting strips 85 greatly increase the heat dissipation area, which facilitates the heat generated inside the control protocol gateway body 1 to be discharged. The second protrusion 82 supports the partition 83 at the lower end of the control protocol gateway body 1. In this way, when the control protocol gateway body 1 needs to be laid flat on the ground, the partition 83 will contact the ground, raising the control protocol gateway body 1 in the air to reserve sufficient heat dissipation space. The disassembly screw 81 installs one side plate of the control protocol gateway body 1 at the end. By unscrewing the disassembly screw 81, one side plate of the control protocol gateway body 1 can be removed to facilitate internal cleaning and maintenance.

[0041] Additional features of the control protocol gateway:

[0042] The USB interface is existing technology, which facilitates the control protocol gateway body 1 to connect with other electronic devices using USB data cables. Multiple indicator lights 5 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the control protocol gateway body 1. When there is a line connection between the USB interface 4 and the RJ45 port 2 above, the corresponding indicator light 5 will light up to remind the staff that the line has been connected. If the interface is loose or the connection is not tight, the indicator light 5 will not light up.
