Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge monitoring technology, and in particular to an edge gateway for bridge monitoring. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern transportation infrastructure, bridges, as vital links connecting different regions, are of paramount importance in terms of safety and stability. Bridge monitoring technology, as a crucial means of ensuring the safe operation of bridges, has received widespread attention and application in recent years. Edge gateways, as key devices connecting bridge monitoring sensors and data centers, directly impact the overall effectiveness of the monitoring system through their performance and reliability.

[0003] The installation and maintenance of edge gateway devices on the market are complex and difficult to adapt to the complex and ever-changing needs of bridge monitoring. Furthermore, when in use, some edge gateway devices are installed in mounting boxes near external bridges, which have defects such as poor heat dissipation, which is not conducive to the long-term stable operation of edge gateway devices and makes it difficult to meet the needs of the bridge monitoring field for efficient, stable and easy-to-maintain equipment.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model document proposes an edge gateway for bridge monitoring. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing edge gateway devices, such as inconvenient installation and maintenance, and poor heat dissipation during operation, and to propose an edge gateway for bridge monitoring.

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

[0007] An edge gateway for bridge monitoring includes:

[0008] The edge gateway body includes a touch screen fixedly embedded on its top. Multiple data interfaces are provided on one side of the edge gateway body, and the edge gateway body is connected to multiple external bridge monitoring sensors through the multiple data interfaces.

[0009] It also includes a mounting plate, on the top of which two limiting plates are fixedly installed. The two limiting plates cooperate with each other to clamp and install the edge gateway body.

[0010] It also includes two sets of fixing components, which cooperate with each other to fix the edge gateway body and the mounting plate.

[0011] It also includes a heat dissipation component, which is used to accelerate the airflow speed inside the edge gateway body.

[0012] In one possible design, the fixing component includes a mounting groove formed on the top of the limiting plate. Two sliders are slidably disposed inside the mounting groove. The tops of both sliders pass through the mounting groove and are fixedly mounted with a movable plate. Tension springs are fixedly mounted on the opposite sides of the two sliders. The other ends of the two tension springs are respectively fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the adjacent mounting groove. Locking blocks are fixedly mounted on the bottom of both movable plates. Both locking blocks are located at the end near the edge gateway body. A lever is fixedly mounted on the top of both movable plates for pushing the movable plates.

[0013] In one possible design, clearance grooves are provided on both sides of the edge gateway body to allow two adjacent moving plates to pass through. Multiple limiting grooves are provided on the top of the edge gateway body. The multiple limiting grooves are arranged in pairs, with the two limiting grooves in the same group located on both sides of the clearance groove. Multiple locking blocks are slidably connected to the inner wall of the corresponding limiting groove to allow the multiple moving plates to press and limit the edge gateway body.

[0014] In one possible design, the heat dissipation assembly includes multiple heat dissipation holes on both sides of the edge gateway body. Multiple mounting cavities are formed inside each of the two limiting plates. Cooling fans are fixedly installed inside each of the mounting cavities, with all cooling fans facing the same direction. The cooling fans cooperate with the multiple heat dissipation holes on both sides of the edge gateway body to accelerate airflow inside the edge gateway body. Dustproof screens are fixedly installed at the ends of the mounting cavities located on different sides that are far apart from each other to reduce the amount of dust entering the edge gateway body.

[0015] In one possible design, the top of the mounting plate has multiple mounting slots, each of which has a sliding abutment post. The bottom of each abutment post is fixedly mounted with a spring, and the other end of each spring is fixedly connected to the bottom inner wall of the corresponding mounting slot. The top of each abutment post engages with the bottom of the edge gateway body to lift the edge gateway body after the edge gateway body is released from its fixed position.

[0016] In one possible design, the mounting plate has multiple mounting holes located at the four corners of the mounting plate, and the mounting holes are used to fix the mounting plate.

[0017] In this application, the mounting plate is fixed in a predetermined position through mounting holes to ensure a stable installation. When the edge gateway body needs to be installed in an external electrical box, the mounting plate can be installed vertically, which facilitates the operation and use of the edge gateway body. Then, the edge gateway body can be placed between the limiting plates on top of the mounting plate, ensuring the touch screen faces outwards. During installation, by moving the lever, two moving plates and the locking block are pushed closer together along the limiting groove until the two moving plates are completely in the clearance groove. Simultaneously, the moving plate on the other side is operated accordingly. At this point, the edge gateway body can be lowered for installation. Finally, until all the moving plates are above the edge gateway body, the locking blocks at the bottom of the moving plates can slide into the adjacent limiting grooves. Under the action of the tension spring, it is ensured that multiple moving plates can continuously move the locking blocks within the grooves. The edge gateway body is secured in the limiting slide groove. A data cable connects the data interface of the edge gateway body to the bridge monitoring sensor, ensuring accurate data transmission. Users can power on and configure settings such as data upload frequency and monitoring parameters via the touchscreen. During use, multiple cooling fans inside the two limiting plates provide ample cooling, ensuring stable long-term operation. For maintenance or replacement, the lever can be moved again, bringing the two moving plates on the same side closer together and into the clearance slot. The locking block disengages from the limiting slide groove. Once both moving plates are released from their limiting positions, the edge gateway body is automatically lifted partially by the abutment post and spring, facilitating its removal.

[0018] Beneficial effects:

[0019] In this utility model, the edge gateway for bridge monitoring is designed with an installation plate, a limiting plate and a fixing component, which realizes the quick disassembly and assembly and stable fixing of the edge gateway, making the operation simple and convenient, and improving the maintenance efficiency and convenience of the equipment.

[0020] In this utility model, the edge gateway for bridge monitoring, through its built-in heat dissipation components including heat dissipation holes, a cooling fan, and a dustproof net, effectively accelerates the airflow speed inside the edge gateway, reduces the equipment temperature, and ensures the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0021] In this utility model, the edge gateway for bridge monitoring simplifies the operation process and improves the user experience by integrating a touch screen, making the device operation more intuitive and convenient. In addition, the edge gateway body is equipped with multiple data interfaces, which can facilitate connection with different types of bridge monitoring sensors, thereby improving the system's compatibility and scalability.

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] Reference Figure 1-6 An edge gateway, comprising:

[0033] This embodiment provides an edge gateway for bridge monitoring, the structure of which includes a mounting plate 1, an edge gateway body 3, and matching fixing components and heat dissipation components.

[0034] Mounting plate 1 serves as the base of the entire device, with two limiting plates 2 fixedly mounted on its top. These two limiting plates 2 are arranged in parallel and initially clamp the edge gateway body 3. The design of the limiting plates 2 ensures the stability of the edge gateway body 3 during the installation process.

[0035] The top of the edge gateway body 3 is fixedly embedded with a touch screen 8 for easy operation by the user. Multiple data interfaces 9 are provided on its side for connecting bridge monitoring sensors to collect and process monitoring data. Multiple heat dissipation holes 7 are also provided on both sides of the edge gateway body 3 to enhance the dissipation of internal heat.

[0036] To achieve a stable connection between the edge gateway body 3 and the mounting plate 1, this embodiment designs two sets of fixing components. Each set of fixing components includes a mounting groove 11 opened on the top of the limiting plate 2, and two sliders 12 slidably disposed in the mounting groove 11. The top of the sliders 12 passes through the mounting groove 11 and is fixedly mounted with a movable plate 13. At the same time, a tension spring 16 is connected to the other side of the sliders 12, and the other end of the tension spring 16 is fixed to the inner wall of the mounting groove 11 to form an elastic connection. A locking block 14 is installed at the bottom of the movable plate 13 for inserting into the limiting groove 6 of the edge gateway body 3 when moving. In addition, a toggle plate 15 is provided on the top of the movable plate 13, which allows the user to push the movable plate 13 by toggling the toggle plate 15, thereby controlling the insertion and release of the locking block 14.

[0037] The edge gateway body 3 has clearance grooves 5 on both sides, allowing two movable plates 13 to pass through while remaining in close contact, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the edge gateway body 3. The limiting slide groove 6 on the top cooperates with the locking block 14 to further ensure the stability of the edge gateway body 3 after installation.

[0038] To improve the heat dissipation performance of the edge gateway body 3, this embodiment has multiple mounting cavities 10 inside the limiting plate 2. Each mounting cavity 10 is fixedly installed with a cooling fan 17. These cooling fans 17 are all matched with the heat dissipation holes 7 on both sides of the edge gateway body 3, and their fan directions are consistent, so as to accelerate the airflow inside the edge gateway body 3 and further improve the heat dissipation performance of the edge gateway body 3. In addition, to prevent a large amount of dust from entering the edge gateway body 3, a dustproof net 4 is provided at the end of each mounting cavity 10 away from the heat dissipation hole 7, which has a good dustproof effect.

[0039] This application can be used in the field of bridge monitoring technology, or in other fields applicable to this application.

[0040] Example 2

[0041] refer to Figure 1 , 6 An improvement based on Example 1: an edge gateway for bridge monitoring, which is applied to the field of bridge monitoring technology;

[0042] To facilitate the disassembly and maintenance of the edge gateway body 3, the top of the mounting plate 1 is also provided with multiple mounting slots 18. Each mounting slot 18 has a sliding abutment post 19. The bottom of the abutment post 19 is connected to the bottom of the mounting slot 18 by a spring 20 to form an elastic support. When the fixing component releases the edge gateway body 3, the abutment post 19 automatically lifts the edge gateway body 3 under the action of the spring 20, which facilitates the user to perform subsequent operations.

[0043] The mounting plate 1 has multiple mounting holes 21 inside, which are located at the four corners of the mounting plate 1. The mounting holes 21 can be used with fixing bolts and other parts to fix the mounting plate 1 horizontally and vertically.

[0044] However, as is well known to those skilled in the art, the working principles and wiring methods of the touch screen 8 and the cooling fan 17 are commonplace and are all conventional methods or common knowledge. They will not be described in detail here. Those skilled in the art can make any selections according to their needs or convenience.

[0045] The working principle and usage process of this technical solution are as follows:

[0046] Mounting plate 1 is fixed in the predetermined position through mounting hole 21 to ensure a stable installation. When the edge gateway body 3 needs to be installed in an external electrical box, mounting plate 1 can be installed vertically, which will facilitate the operation and use of the edge gateway body 3 later.

[0047] Then, the edge gateway body 3 can be placed between the limiting plates 2 on the top of the mounting plate 1, ensuring that the touch screen 8 faces outward. During installation, by moving the lever 15, the two moving plates 13 and the locking block 14 are pushed closer to each other along the limiting slide groove 6 until the two moving plates 13 are completely in the clearance groove 5. At the same time, the moving plate 13 on the other side is operated accordingly. At this time, the edge gateway body 3 can be moved down for installation. Finally, until the moving plates 13 are all above the edge gateway body 3, the locking block 14 at the bottom of the moving plate 13 can slide into the adjacent limiting slide groove 6. Under the action of the tension spring 16, it can be ensured that the multiple moving plates 13 can drive the locking block 14 to remain in the limiting slide groove 6, thereby completing the fixation of the edge gateway body 3.

[0048] Connect the data interface 9 of the edge gateway body 3 to the bridge monitoring sensor using a data cable to ensure error-free data transmission. At the same time, the user can power on and make related settings, such as data upload frequency and monitoring parameters, through the touch screen 8.

[0049] When the edge gateway body 3 is in use, the multiple cooling fans 17 installed inside the two limit plates 2 can fully dissipate heat from the edge gateway body 3, ensuring its long-term stable operation.

[0050] When maintenance or replacement of the edge gateway is required, the lever 15 can be moved again to bring the two movable plates 13 on the same side closer to each other and move into the clearance groove 5. At this time, the locking block 14 disengages from the limiting slide groove 6. After the movable plates 13 on both sides are released from limiting the edge gateway body 3, the edge gateway body 3 will be automatically lifted up partly by the action of the abutment post 19 and the spring 20, making it easier to remove it later.

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
