Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of operation monitoring device technology, and in particular to an Internet of Things (IoT) device operation status monitoring device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of Internet of Things (IoT) technology, various IoT devices have been widely used in industrial production, smart homes, and other fields. To ensure the normal operation of IoT devices, real-time monitoring of their operating status is necessary. Therefore, IoT device operating status monitoring devices have emerged. These devices are intelligent production management systems based on IoT technology. By deploying sensors, communication modules, and data analysis platforms, they are used to monitor equipment operating status, provide fault warnings, and enable remote management. Their core objective is to improve equipment reliability, help reduce maintenance costs, and optimize production efficiency.

[0003] Existing operational status monitoring devices are often left unattended when not in use, lacking effective securing measures. This makes them susceptible to accidental drops due to machine vibration or human contact, leading to damage to the casing, malfunctions of internal sensors or communication modules, data distortion, or monitoring interruptions. This impacts production schedules and incurs additional maintenance costs. Furthermore, because these devices operate in real-time, the internal components generate significant heat. Inadequate heat dissipation can cause the internal temperature to rise continuously, leading to component performance degradation or even permanent damage. This can trigger protection mechanisms, forcing a shutdown and resulting in the loss of real-time status data for critical equipment, missing the optimal window for fault warnings. Existing operational status monitoring devices rely solely on passive cooling via the casing and heat sinks, which is insufficient for the long-term heat dissipation requirements of continuous monitoring. This hinders heat dissipation and prevents effective removal of internal heat to the outside. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an IoT device operation status monitoring device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An IoT device operation status monitoring device includes a fixed base and a monitoring device body. The fixed base has fixed grooves on the left and right sides of its front end, and the monitoring device body has connecting components rotatably connected to the left and right sides of its rear end. The other end of the connecting components is slidably engaged with the fixed grooves.

[0007] The mounting base is equipped with a cooling fan. The top and bottom surfaces of the mounting base are provided with air inlets that communicate with the cooling fan. The front end of the mounting base is provided with an air outlet that communicates with the cooling fan. The rear end of the monitoring device body is equipped with heat dissipation fins.

[0008] Preferably, a base plate is connected to the bottom of the front end face of the fixing seat, and the base plate is perpendicular to the front end face of the fixing seat.

[0009] Preferably, a first contact is installed at the center of the top surface of the fixing base, and a power cord is connected to the side end of the fixing base, the power cord being electrically connected to the first contact.

[0010] Preferably, a second contact is installed at the bottom of the monitoring device body, and the second contact is in contact with the first contact to conduct electricity.

[0011] Preferably, the side end of the fixed base is connected to a mounting base, and the mounting base has a connecting hole that penetrates through the mounting base at its center.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing groove includes a connecting groove, one end of which is connected to the front end face of the fixing seat, and the other end is connected to a snap-fit ​​groove. The connecting component includes a U-shaped rod that is slidably connected to the connecting groove. An anti-slip sleeve is fitted on the middle part of the U-shaped rod away from the opening, and the anti-slip sleeve is snap-fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove.

[0013] Preferably, the two sides of the open end of the U-shaped rod are symmetrically connected with rotating shafts, and the upper and lower ends of the left and right sides of the monitoring device body are provided with connecting grooves, and the rotating shafts on both sides are respectively rotatably connected to the upper and lower connecting grooves of the monitoring device body.

[0014] Preferably, an arc-shaped air guide cover is fixedly installed on the outer side of the air inlet at both ends of the top and bottom surfaces of the fixed base.

[0015] Preferably, the opening end of the arc-shaped air guide shroud is oriented toward the rear end face of the fixed base and is parallel to the rear end face of the fixed base.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an IoT device operation status monitoring device, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This utility model installs a fixing base on a wall or bracket, with a fixing groove on the fixing base, and sets a connecting component on the main body of the monitoring device. The mechanical locking structure is formed by the interlocking of the connecting component and the fixing groove, so that the main body of the monitoring device can be firmly fixed to the wall or bracket, preventing the main body of the monitoring device from being placed randomly and ensuring that it remains stable during the monitoring process. At the same time, the connecting component can rotate around the main body of the monitoring device for easy handling, thus taking into account the monitoring needs of temporary movement and having higher flexibility of use.

[0018] 2. This utility model incorporates a cooling fan inside the mounting base to guide airflow and works in conjunction with the heat dissipation fins at the rear of the monitoring device to create air convection. This allows the cool airflow to collide with the heat dissipation fins and flow along them, thereby carrying away the heat transferred from the internal components to the heat dissipation fins. This helps to improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the monitoring device and ensures its normal operation. Attached Figure Description

[0026] 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.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0028] Example, refer to Figures 1-6 An IoT device operation status monitoring device includes a fixed base 1 and a monitoring device body 4. The left and right sides of the front end of the fixed base 1 are provided with fixing grooves 7. The left and right sides of the rear end of the monitoring device body 4 are rotatably connected with connecting components 5. The other end of the connecting components 5 is slidably engaged with the fixing grooves 7. In use, the fixed base 1 is fixedly installed on the wall. The rear end of the monitoring device body 4 can slide freely longitudinally along the fixing grooves 7 at the front end of the fixed base 1 through the connecting components 5. The fixing grooves 7 and the connecting components 5 are horizontally engaged to form a mechanical lock, thereby preventing the monitoring device body 4 from falling off the fixed base 1 in the connected state. Thus, the monitoring device body 4 and the fixed base 1 can be connected as one unit, which is convenient for fixing the monitoring device body 4.

[0029] A cooling fan 9 is installed inside the mounting base 1. The top and bottom surfaces of the mounting base 1 are provided with air inlets 13 that communicate with the cooling fan 9. An air outlet 14 is provided on the front surface of the mounting base 1, and the air outlet 14 communicates with the cooling fan 9. A heat dissipation fin 6 is installed at the rear end of the monitoring device body 4. The cooling fan 9 draws in air through the air inlets 13 on the top and bottom surfaces and discharges it from the air outlet 14, causing the cold airflow to collide perpendicularly with the heat dissipation fin 6. Then, the airflow flows along the through grooves between the heat dissipation fins 6 and finally discharges from both ends of the through grooves. This is used to create convection and dissipate heat when the monitoring device body 4 is connected to the mounting base 1, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency and preventing the monitoring device body from overheating during operation, which could lead to performance degradation or malfunction.

[0030] Furthermore, a base plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the front end face of the fixing base 1. The base plate 11 is perpendicular to the front end face of the fixing base 1. In use, the base plate 11 is perpendicular to the front end face of the fixing base 1, forming an "L"-shaped structure, which is used to contact the bottom surface of the monitoring device body 4. This provides support when the connecting component 5 of the monitoring device body 4 is fixedly connected to the fixing base 1, making the fixing structure of the monitoring device body 4 more stable.

[0031] Furthermore, a first contact 12 is installed at the center of the top surface of the fixing base 1, and a power cord 3 is connected to the side end of the fixing base 1. The power cord 3 is electrically connected to the first contact 12, and is used to electrically connect the external power supply to the first contact 12 through the power cord 3.

[0032] Furthermore, a second contact 42 is installed at the bottom of the monitoring device body 4. The second contact 42 is in contact with the first contact 12 and conducts electricity. In use, the first contact 12 on the top surface of the mounting base 1 is connected to the power supply through the power cord 3. When the second contact 42 at the bottom of the monitoring device body 4 is installed in place, it is in contact with the first contact 12 and conducts electricity. The second contact 42 is electrically connected to the internal system of the monitoring device body 4, realizing automatic power connection and supplying power. When the monitoring device body 4 is in a handheld state, the first contact 12 and the second contact 42 are disconnected. The monitoring device body 4 has a built-in battery module for power supply in the handheld state, ensuring that the monitoring device body 4 can be used normally.

[0033] Furthermore, the side end of the fixed base 1 is connected to the mounting base 2. The center of the mounting base 2 is provided with a connecting hole 21 that passes through the mounting base 2. In use, the mounting base 2 is fixed to the external bracket or wall through the connecting hole 21. The mounting base 2 is fastened to the external bracket or wall by screws or bolts passing through the connecting hole 21.

[0034] Furthermore, the fixing groove 7 includes a connecting groove 71, one end of which is connected to the front end face of the fixing base 1, and the other end is connected to a snap-fit ​​groove 72. The cross-sectional area of ​​the snap-fit ​​groove 72 is larger than that of the connecting groove 71. The connecting component 5 includes a U-shaped rod 52 that is slidably connected to the connecting groove 71. An anti-slip sleeve 53 is fitted onto the middle part of the U-shaped rod 52 away from the opening. The anti-slip sleeve 53 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 72. In use, the U-shaped rod 52 can slide longitudinally in the connecting groove 71, thereby driving the anti-slip sleeve 53 into the snap-fit ​​groove 72. The radial diameter of the anti-slip sleeve 53 is larger than that of the U-shaped rod 52, and the anti-slip sleeve 53 is fitted into the snap-fit ​​groove 72, so that the anti-slip sleeve 53 cannot pass through the snap-fit ​​groove 72 and come out of the connecting groove 71 under normal conditions, thereby achieving locking by friction and mechanical snap-fit. When unlocking is required, the monitoring device body 4 is slid longitudinally, so that the connecting component 5 slides out from the top opening of the fixing groove 7.

[0035] Furthermore, symmetrical rotating shafts 51 are connected to both sides of the open end of the U-shaped rod 52. The upper and lower ends of the left and right sides of the monitoring device body 4 are provided with connecting grooves 41. The rotating shafts 51 on both sides are rotatably connected to the upper and lower connecting grooves 41 of the monitoring device body 4. In use, the U-shaped rod 52 rotates around the connecting grooves 41 through the rotating shafts 51, so that the state can be adjusted. When the U-shaped rod 52 rotates so that it is parallel to the end face of the side wall, it can be used as a connecting structure to engage with the fixing groove 7. When the U-shaped rod 52 rotates to be parallel to the front end face of the monitoring device body 4, it is easy to hold and use.

[0036] Furthermore, an arc-shaped air guide shroud 8 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the air inlet 13 at both ends of the top and bottom surfaces of the mounting base 1. This shroud guides the cold airflow to enter the interior of the mounting base 1 from the air inlet 13 under the action of the cooling fan 9, and then exits from the air outlet 14. This allows the airflow to contact the heat dissipation fins 6 of the monitoring device body 4, thereby improving air circulation and removing the heat dissipated by the monitoring device body 4 through the heat dissipation fins 6 during operation, ensuring that the monitoring device body 4 can continue to operate normally.

[0037] Furthermore, the opening end of the arc-shaped air guide shroud 8 is set towards the rear end face of the fixed base 1 and is parallel to the rear end face of the fixed base 1. This is used to separate the airflow, reduce eddies and resistance, thereby preventing the cold airflow drawn in from the air inlet from merging with the hot airflow discharged from both ends of the heat dissipation fins 6, which would lead to a decrease in heat dissipation efficiency.

[0038] Working principle: The mounting base 1 is installed on the side wall of an industrial workshop, smart home, or other location with the device to be monitored. The U-shaped rods 52 on both sides of the monitoring device body 4 are rotated, aligning the U-shaped rods 52 with the connecting grooves 71 of the fixing grooves 7 on both sides of the front end of the mounting base 1. The monitoring device body 4 is pushed downwards longitudinally, and the U-shaped rods 52 drive the anti-slip sleeve 53 to slide along the fixing groove 7, allowing the anti-slip sleeve 53 to slide into the snap-fit ​​groove 72. Because the diameter of the anti-slip sleeve 53 is larger than the diameter of the U-shaped rod 52 and its end face fits into the snap-fit ​​groove 72, it cannot pass through the connecting groove under normal conditions. The slot 71 disengages, thereby forming a locking relationship through friction and mechanical engagement, ensuring a firm connection between the monitoring device body 4 and the fixed base 1. Simultaneously, the bottom surface of the monitoring device body 4 contacts the base plate 11, which provides support, making the connection structure more stable. The fixed base 1 is connected to an external power source via a power cable 3 connected to its side. Current is transmitted to the first contact 12 at the center of the top surface of the fixed base 1. After the monitoring device body 4 and the fixed base 1 are in place, the second contact 42 at its bottom contacts the first contact 12, conducting electricity. Current flows through the second contact 42. The power is transmitted to the internal system of the monitoring device body 4 to provide power. In the connected state, the cooling fan 9 inside the mounting base 1 is activated, allowing the cool airflow to enter the mounting base 1 from the air inlets 13 on the top and bottom surfaces under the guidance of the arc-shaped air guide shroud 8. Driven by the cooling fan 9, the cool airflow is discharged from the air outlet 14 on the front surface, colliding perpendicularly with the heat dissipation fins 6 at the rear end of the monitoring device body 4. It then flows along the through grooves between the heat dissipation fins 6 and is discharged from both ends of the through grooves, thereby removing the heat dissipated by the heat dissipation fins 6 during the operation of the monitoring device body 4, ensuring the continuous normal operation of the device. When it is necessary to operate the monitoring device body 4 by hand, the operator slides the monitoring device body 4 longitudinally upward along the mounting groove 7, allowing the connecting component 5 to slide out from the top opening of the mounting groove 7, thus disconnecting the monitoring device body 4 from the mounting base 1. The U-shaped rod 52 is rotated to be parallel to the front surface of the monitoring device body 4 for easy handholding. At this time, the first contact 12 and the second contact 42 are disconnected, and the battery module built into the monitoring device body 4 starts to provide power, ensuring that it can be used normally in the handheld state.

[0039] 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.
