Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial Internet of Things (IoT) technology, specifically to an IoT-based industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission. Background Technology

[0002] An industrial gateway, also known as an industrial communication gateway, is a data acquisition and transmission converter based on the Internet of Things (IoT). It can convert messages between various network protocols. In the field of Industrial IoT, the industrial gateway serves as a core device for data acquisition and transmission, and must adapt to complex industrial environments. Its structural stability directly affects the equipment's lifespan and operational reliability. The housing of an industrial gateway typically consists of an upper housing and a lower housing. The design of their installation structure not only affects the equipment's assembly efficiency but also influences the housing's protective performance for internal electronic components, such as dustproofing, waterproofing, and impact resistance.

[0003] An industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things (IoT) is disclosed in application number CN202121513855.6. The gateway includes a housing assembly, an end cap assembly, and an inner core assembly. The end cap assembly covers the housing assembly, and the inner core assembly is installed inside the housing assembly. The housing assembly includes a shell, an annular groove, four threaded mounting holes, and four threaded mounting ears. The annular groove is located at the opening of the shell, and the four threaded mounting holes are symmetrically arranged in pairs on the left and right sides of the back wall of the shell.

[0004] However, the aforementioned industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things has certain drawbacks. The upper and lower shells of the industrial gateway adopt a traditional multi-bolt fixing structure. During installation, each bolt hole must be aligned and the bolts tightened one by one, which is a cumbersome operation. Moreover, the bolts are prone to stripping and wear during repeated disassembly and assembly. Due to the unreasonable design of the installation structure, when it is necessary to inspect or replace internal components, a lot of time must be spent disassembling the bolts, which prolongs the maintenance time. For industrial scenarios that require frequent internal debugging, this inconvenient disassembly and assembly structure inevitably increases the downtime of the equipment and reduces the continuity of production.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide an industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things to solve the above problems.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in this background section is only for understanding the background technology of this application concept, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content

[0007] Based on the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, the problem to be solved by this application is to provide an industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things, so as to achieve the effect of convenient installation and disassembly of the upper and lower housings of the gateway.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this application to solve its technical problem is: an industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things, including a lower gateway housing, an upper gateway housing being snapped onto the top of the lower gateway housing, support plates being connected to both sides of the lower gateway housing, and snapping components and limiting components being respectively provided on the lower gateway housing;

[0009] The surface of the engagement component is connected to the surface of the housing on the gateway for engagement and mating;

[0010] The surface of the limiting component is connected to the surface of the lower housing of the gateway for elastic engagement with the engaging component.

[0011] Furthermore, the locking assembly includes two fixing plates, two handles, and two locking rings. The two fixing plates are respectively disposed on both sides of the lower housing of the gateway. Rotating rods are rotatably connected to the surface of each of the two fixing plates. The two handles are respectively connected to the surface of the two rotating rods. Two locking screws are threadedly connected to the inner side of each of the two handles. A locking ring is rotatably connected to the bottom end of each pair of locking screws.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the snap rings is detachably connected to each of the handles via each pair of the locking screws.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting assembly includes four support rods and four retraction springs. Each pair of support rods is respectively disposed at the top of each support plate. A reinforcing plate is slidably connected to the surface of each pair of support rods. A fixing ring is connected to the surface of each of the two reinforcing plates. The four retraction springs are respectively sleeved on the outside of the four support rods.

[0014] Furthermore, each of the four support rods has a limiting piece connected to its top end, and the diameter of each limiting piece is larger than the diameter of each support rod.

[0015] Furthermore, the two ends of each pair of the contraction springs are respectively connected to the bottom end of each pair of the limiting plates and the top end of each of the support plates.

[0016] Furthermore, the surface of each of the snap-fit ​​rings engages with the surface of each of the fixed rings.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: The industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things provided by this application facilitates the vertical adjustment of the rotating rod through the elastic connection of the compression spring and the sliding support of the support rod. The rotational connection of the rotating rod allows the locking ring to have a rotational tilting force, facilitating engagement with the fixed ring. The compression of the compression spring ensures that the fixed ring always exerts a downward pulling force on the locking ring, enhancing the engagement force between the locking ring and the fixed ring. This improves the tightness of the engagement between the upper and lower housings of the gateway, and allows for simple and quick disassembly of the upper and lower housings without repeatedly removing and reassembling multiple bolts. This reduces the cumbersome process of installing and disassembling the upper and lower housings, improving the efficiency of internal component inspection and maintenance. Furthermore, the locking ring is detachably connected to the handle via a locking screw, facilitating replacement when the locking ring experiences severe wear due to repeated contact with the fixed ring.

[0026] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. This application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0028] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application provides an industrial gateway for data acquisition and transmission based on the Internet of Things, including a lower gateway housing 1, an upper gateway housing 4 that is snapped onto the top of the lower gateway housing 1 to facilitate the protection of internal components, support plates 5 that are connected to both sides of the lower gateway housing 1, and snapping components 2 and limiting components 3 that are respectively provided on the lower gateway housing 1.

[0029] The surface of the locking assembly 2 is connected to the surface of the upper housing 4 of the gateway for locking and mating;

[0030] The surface of the limiting component 3 is connected to the surface of the lower housing 1 of the gateway for elastic engagement with the engaging component 2.

[0031] The locking assembly 2 includes two fixing plates 21, two handles 23, and two locking rings 25. The two fixing plates 21 are respectively set on both sides of the lower housing 1 of the gateway. The surfaces of the two fixing plates 21 are rotatably connected to rotating rods 22. The two handles 23 are respectively connected to the surfaces of the two rotating rods 22 for easy gripping by the operator. The inner sides of the two handles 23 are threaded with two locking screws 24. The bottom end of each pair of locking screws 24 is rotatably connected to a locking ring 25, which facilitates the installation and removal of the handles 23 and the locking rings 25.

[0032] Each snap ring 25 is detachably connected to each handle 23 via every two locking screws 24, facilitating the replacement of the snap ring 25 when it experiences severe wear due to repeated contact with the retaining ring 33.

[0033] The limiting component 3 includes four support rods 31 and four retraction springs 34. Each pair of support rods 31 is respectively set at the top of each support plate 5. Each pair of support rods 31 is slidably connected to a reinforcing plate 32. Each of the two reinforcing plates 32 is connected to a fixing ring 33 to facilitate engagement with the snap ring 25. The four retraction springs 34 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the four support rods 31.

[0034] Each of the four support rods 31 has a limiting plate attached to its top. The diameter of each limiting plate is larger than the diameter of each support rod 31 to prevent the reinforcing plate 32 from separating from the support rod 31.

[0035] The two ends of each pair of retraction springs 34 are respectively connected to the bottom end of each pair of limiting plates and the top end of each support plate 5.

[0036] The surface of each snap-fit ​​ring 25 engages with the surface of each fixing ring 33, facilitating the engagement and installation of the upper housing 4 and the lower housing 1 of the gateway.

[0037] Working principle: First, the reinforcing plate 32 is pulled upward under the elastic connection of the compression spring 34. At this time, under the support of the corresponding support rod 31, the reinforcing plate 32 can move vertically, thereby separating the fixing ring 33 from the corresponding snap ring 25. After the fixing ring 33 and the snap ring 25 are separated, hold the handle 23 and drive the snap ring 25 to rotate around the rotating rod 22 under the rotation connection of the rotating rod 22. This causes the snap ring 25 to be misaligned with the fixing ring 33, thereby separating the upper housing 4 of the gateway from the lower housing 1 of the gateway. The upper housing 4 of the gateway and the lower housing 1 of the gateway can be disassembled simply and quickly.

[0038] Similarly, when it is necessary to connect and engage the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4 of the gateway, align the upper housing 4 with the top of the lower housing 1. Then, pull up the reinforcing plate 32 and the fixing ring 33, and grasp the handle 23 to align the locking ring 25 with the fixing ring 33. After alignment, release the rotating rod 22 so that the fixing ring 33 contacts the locking ring 25 more tightly under the contraction action of the compression spring 34, avoiding the situation where the fixing ring 33 and the locking ring 25 separate. The locking ring 25 is detachably connected to the handle 23 through the locking screw 24, which facilitates the replacement of the locking ring 25 when it is severely worn due to repeated contact with the fixing ring 33. This eliminates the need to repeatedly disassemble and reassemble multiple bolts, reducing the cumbersome process of connecting and disassembling the lower housing 1 and the upper housing 4 of the gateway, and helping to improve the efficiency of internal component inspection and maintenance.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
