[0001] This utility model relates to an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of IoT technology, IoT gateways, as key devices connecting IoT devices and networks, are of paramount importance in terms of performance and stability.

[0003] In most existing IoT gateways, fans are installed inside or outside the gateway. The rotation of the fan forces airflow and removes heat from inside the device. For example, a cooling fan is installed on the outer casing of the gateway to create air convection and lower the internal temperature.

[0004] However, the connection between the heat dissipation component and the gateway body is not convenient enough, and the installation and disassembly process is cumbersome. It requires screws to connect and fix the heat dissipation component to the IoT gateway. Once the heat dissipation component fails, repair and replacement are extremely inconvenient, which seriously affects the normal operation of the device and subsequent maintenance. Therefore, an IoT gateway is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the inconvenient connection between the heat dissipation components and the gateway body, and the cumbersome installation and disassembly process.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway, including an IoT gateway body, wherein a heat dissipation device is connected to the lower part of the IoT gateway body via a guide rail, and the two sides of the heat dissipation device are connected to the IoT gateway body via fixing components.

[0007] The guide rail has positioning holes on both sides for fixing components to engage, so that the heat dissipation device can be connected to the positioning holes through the fixing components, thus completing the connection between the IoT gateway and the heat dissipation device.

[0008] Preferably, the upper two sides of the heat dissipation device are provided with slides that cooperate with the guide rail, so that the heat dissipation device can slide to the end of the guide rail via the slides.

[0009] Preferably, the fixing component includes a connecting base plate disposed inside the heat dissipation device, the connecting base plate having an internal groove, and the groove opening position engaging with the positioning hole.

[0010] The built-in groove is internally slidably connected with a fixing bolt, so that the fixing bolt can be inserted into the positioning hole through the groove of the built-in groove.

[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is provided inside the built-in groove, and a fixing spring is provided on the outer periphery of the guide rod, with the fixing spring located below the fixing bolt.

[0012] Preferably, the upper part of the fixing bolt is inclined, and the lower part of the fixing bolt is provided with a groove for the insertion of the guide rod.

[0013] Preferably, the lower part of the fixing bolt is connected to the disassembly plate via a connecting rod, and the disassembly plate is located on the side of the heat dissipation device.

[0014] Preferably, the heat dissipation device has a disassembly groove for sliding the connecting rod on the side of the built-in groove, and the disassembly groove is rectangular in shape.

[0015] Preferably, the heat dissipation device includes a storage compartment, and multiple sets of cooling fans are arranged inside the storage compartment, with a mesh screen provided above the cooling fans in the storage compartment.

[0016] Preferably, the connection end between the IoT gateway body and the heat dissipation device is a heat dissipation mesh plate, so that the heat dissipation device is connected to the IoT gateway body through the heat dissipation mesh plate.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This invention utilizes a fixed assembly to quickly connect and secure the heat dissipation device to the IoT gateway body, eliminating the need for screws. During installation, simply slide the heat dissipation device to the end of the guide rail and engage it with the positioning hole using the fixed assembly. During disassembly, press down the disassembly plate with the connecting rod to disengage the fixing bolt from the positioning hole. This simplifies and expedites the installation and disassembly process, significantly reducing operation time and workload, improving maintenance efficiency, and facilitating the repair and replacement of the heat dissipation device. It also avoids problems such as equipment malfunctions affecting normal operation and subsequent maintenance inconvenience caused by heat dissipation component failures.

[0019] Meanwhile, placing the heat dissipation device below the heat dissipation mesh plate of the IoT gateway body can effectively promote airflow, accelerate heat dissipation, effectively reduce the internal temperature of the IoT gateway, ensure the performance and stability of the device, meet the heat dissipation requirements of IoT devices, and provide strong support for the stable operation of IoT devices.

[0027] To address the inconvenient connection between the heat dissipation components and the gateway body in existing IoT gateways, and the cumbersome installation and disassembly process, this utility model provides an IoT gateway. The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway, including an IoT gateway body 1. The lower part of the IoT gateway body 1 is connected to a heat dissipation device 3 via a guide rail 2. Positioning holes 21 for engaging with a fixing component 4 are provided on both sides of the guide rail 2, so that the heat dissipation device 3 is connected to the positioning hole 21 via the fixing component 4, thereby completing the connection between the IoT gateway and the heat dissipation device 3.

[0029] The heat dissipation device 3 has a disassembly groove 32 on the side of the built-in groove 42 for sliding the connecting rod 432, and the disassembly groove 32 is rectangular in shape. The heat dissipation device 3 includes a storage compartment 33, and multiple cooling fans 34 are arranged inside the storage compartment 33. A mesh 35 is arranged above the cooling fans 34 in the storage compartment 33. The upper two sides of the heat dissipation device 3 are provided with slide rails 31 that cooperate with the guide rail 2, so that the heat dissipation device 3 can slide to the end of the guide rail 2 through the slide rails 31.

[0030] The heat dissipation device 3 is connected to the IoT gateway body 1 on both sides via fixing components 4. The fixing components 4 include a connecting base plate 41 disposed inside the heat dissipation device 3. The connecting base plate 41 has an internal groove 42, and the groove opening of the internal groove 42 is matched with the positioning hole 21. A fixing bolt 43 is slidably connected inside the internal groove 42, so that the fixing bolt 43 can be inserted into the positioning hole 21 through the groove opening of the internal groove 42. A guide rod 44 is disposed inside the internal groove 42, and a fixing spring 45 is disposed on the outer periphery of the guide rod 44, and the fixing spring 45 is located below the fixing bolt 43. The upper part of the fixing bolt 43 is inclined, and the lower part of the fixing bolt 43 has a sliding groove 431 for the guide rod 44 to be inserted. The lower part of the fixing bolt 43 is connected to a disassembly plate 433 via a connecting rod 432, and the disassembly plate 433 is located on the side of the heat dissipation device 3.

[0031] The connection end between the IoT gateway body 1 and the heat dissipation device 3 is a heat dissipation mesh plate 11, so that the heat dissipation device 3 is connected to the IoT gateway body 1 through the heat dissipation mesh plate 11.

[0032] The working principle of the IoT gateway provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0033] During installation, slide the slide 31 of the heat dissipation device 3 against the guide rail 2 at the bottom of the IoT gateway body 1. This causes the guide rail 2 to press the fixing bolt 43 by the inclined surface at the top of the fixing bolt 43. The fixing bolt 43 moves into the built-in groove 42 under force, pressing the fixing spring 45. The fixing spring 45 is compressed under force until the fixing bolt 43 moves to the lower position of the guide rail 2. Then, continue to push the heat dissipation device 3. After the heat dissipation device 3 slides to the positioning hole 21 at the end of the guide rail 2, the fixing spring 45 elastically elongates and is inserted into the positioning hole 21 of the guide rail 2 through the built-in groove 42, thereby connecting and fixing the heat dissipation device 3 and the IoT gateway body 1.

[0034] During disassembly, press down the disassembly plate 433. The disassembly plate 433 drives the fixing bolt 43 to move down through the connecting rod 432, so that the sliding groove 431 of the fixing bolt 43 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the guide rod 44 and moves down until the fixing bolt 43 disengages from the positioning hole 21 and is stored in the built-in groove 42, thereby disconnecting the heat dissipation device 3 from the gateway. At this time, the heat dissipation device 3 can be slid out of the guide rail 2 to achieve quick disassembly.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
