Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wireless gateway technology, and in particular to a split-type wireless gateway. Background Technology

[0002] A wireless gateway is a network device that plays a crucial role in wireless communication networks. It acts as a "bridge" between different networks, connecting various types of networks, such as linking a wireless local area network (Wi-Fi) with a wired Ethernet network. On one hand, it receives data signals from wireless terminal devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), processes and converts these signals; on the other hand, it forwards the processed data to the target network. Through a wireless gateway, various wireless devices can smoothly access the Internet or other networks, enabling data transmission and sharing, making communication between different devices more convenient and efficient.

[0003] A split-type wireless gateway is a compact and easy-to-install wireless gateway device. It requires no complex wiring and can be used simply by plugging it into a power outlet, just like a regular appliance. This gateway integrates a wireless communication module, enabling rapid access to wireless networks and providing network connectivity support for smart devices in home or office environments.

[0004] The shortcomings of the existing technical solutions are as follows: Split-type wireless gateways include those that plug directly into a socket (direct plug-in type) and those that connect to the socket via a wire (wired connection type). While plugging directly into a socket is simple and convenient, its large size occupies multiple socket positions, preventing other electrical appliances from being plugged in properly and affecting simultaneous power use by multiple devices. While connecting to the socket via a wire alleviates the socket occupation problem to some extent, the exposed wires and the gateway itself occupy additional external space on desktops and walls, making the space look cluttered and potentially obstructing movement or tidying up. Furthermore, existing split-type wireless gateways do not allow users to freely switch between direct plug-in and wired connection types as needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a split-type wireless gateway, which solves the problem in the prior art where users cannot freely switch between direct plug-in and wired connection types of the gateway as needed.

[0006] A split-type wireless gateway includes a gateway body, a cable-concealing cavity on the rear side of the gateway body, the cable-concealing cavity opening rearward, a power supply wire inside the cable-concealing cavity, a plug at the end of the wire, and multiple sets of prongs on the plug; a limiting plate is provided at the opening of the cable-concealing cavity, the limiting plate having prong holes for protruding prongs and lead-out ports for leading out the wire, and a fixing component is provided on the rear side of the gateway body for fixing the limiting plate to the opening of the cable-concealing cavity.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the fixing component includes a fixing sleeve that is detachably disposed on the rear side of the gateway body, and a positioning edge plate for limiting the position of the limiting plate is fixedly disposed inside the rear side of the fixing sleeve.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a winding plate for positioning the wire is fixedly installed inside the wire-concealing cavity.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the inner edge of the wire-concealing cavity is provided with an inner edge groove seat that cooperates with the limiting plate.

[0010] As a further aspect of this utility model: the distance between the bottom of the concealed wire cavity and the limiting plate is adapted to the size of the plug shell.

[0011] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the limiting plate is made of plastic or rubber.

[0012] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the lead hole is an opening formed by the inward indentation of one side edge of the limiting plate, which allows the wire to move in and out.

[0013] As a further embodiment of this utility model: three sets of winding plates are arranged in a ring around the inside of the wire-concealing cavity.

[0014] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the front end of each winding plate is bent outward.

[0015] As a further embodiment of this utility model, the fixing sleeve is connected to the rear side of the gateway body by screws.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. In use, this utility model allows users to easily switch between direct plug-in and wire connection modes through the coordinated operation of components such as the concealed cable cavity, limiting plate, and fixing sleeve. When space is limited or a minimalist design is desired, the direct plug-in mode can be selected, with the plug protruding through the protrusion holes in the limiting plate for quick connection to the socket. If flexible gateway placement is required, the wire connection mode can be used, with the wire led out from the lead-in port to connect to the socket. This freely switchable function enhances the gateway's applicability and meets the needs of different scenarios.

[0018] 2. In use, the three sets of surrounding winding plates, with their front ends bent outwards, effectively hook the wires when the user stores them in the cable storage cavity in direct plug-in mode, preventing them from slipping and ensuring stable placement within the cavity. When wire connection is required, the winding plates also help organize the wires, ensuring orderly storage and preventing tangled wires, thus optimizing the gateway's internal space layout and improving the user experience.

[0024] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, but it should be understood that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown in the figure, this utility model provides a split-type wireless gateway, including a gateway body 1. A cable concealment cavity 2 is specially provided on the rear side of the gateway body 1. This cable concealment cavity 2 is open to the rear. Figure 2As shown, the concealed cable cavity 2 contains a power supply wire 5, and the end of the wire 5 is equipped with a plug 6, which has multiple sets of prongs. The user only needs to insert the prongs into the corresponding sockets to supply power to the plug 6 and the gateway body 1.

[0026] Furthermore, a limiting plate 4 is provided at the opening of the wire-concealing cavity 2. The limiting plate 4 is preferably made of plastic or rubber, which is both insulating and lightweight and durable. An inner edge groove 201 is formed on the inner edge of the wire-concealing cavity 2 to mate with the limiting plate 4. The shape of the limiting plate 4 matches the shape of the inner edge groove 201, ensuring that the limiting plate 4 fits tightly against the opening of the wire-concealing cavity 2. The limiting plate 4 also has a protruding insert hole 401 for the insert and a lead-out port 402 for the lead wire 5, such as... Figure 1 As shown. When needed, the plug can extend directly from the plug socket 401, turning the gateway body 1 into a direct plug-in type; or, the user can choose to lead the wire 5 out from the lead port 402, allowing the plug 6 to connect directly to the socket. In this case, the gateway body 1 is connected to the power supply through the led-out wire 5, turning it into a wire connection type.

[0027] To ensure the stability of the limiting plate 4 after it is fixed, a fixing component is also provided on the rear side of the gateway body 1. In one specific embodiment, the fixing component includes a fixing sleeve 3 detachably disposed on the rear side of the gateway body 1, and a positioning plate 301 for limiting the position of the limiting plate 4 is fixedly disposed inside the rear side of the fixing sleeve 3. Preferably, the fixing sleeve 3 is connected to the rear side of the gateway body 1 by screws, which allows the user to switch the wiring connection mode as needed. When switching is required, simply remove the fixing sleeve 3 from the rear side of the gateway body 1 to easily remove the limiting plate 4, thereby exposing the internal wires 5 and plugs 6, or inserting the wires 5 and plugs 6 into the cable hiding cavity 2.

[0028] In addition, a winding plate 202 for positioning the wire 5 is fixedly installed inside the wire-concealing cavity 2. Figure 2 As shown, there are three sets of winding plates 202, which are arranged around the inside of the cable-concealing cavity 2. When it is necessary to store the wire 5, the user can wrap the wire 5 around the outside of the three sets of winding plates 202 in a certain direction, then insert the plug 6 into the limiting plate 4 to fix the plug, and finally fix the limiting plate 4 with the fixing sleeve 3. This completes the storage of the wire 5, thereby transforming the gateway from a wire connection type to a direct plug-in type.

[0029] Furthermore, the front end of each winding plate 202 is bent outwards, such as... Figure 2 As shown. This design makes it easy to hook the wire 5, preventing the wire 5 from slipping off the winding plate 202 in the direct plug-in mode, which would cause the wire 5 to move and affect the user experience.

[0030] Additionally, it is important to note that the distance between the bottom of the concealed cable cavity 2 and the limiting plate 4 should ideally match the dimensions of the plug 6's outer shell. This ensures that when the gateway is a direct plug-in type, the plug 6 can be stably clamped and fixed inside the concealed cable cavity 2, and the plug can be fully extended, avoiding problems such as insufficient plug extension or poor stability, thereby guaranteeing the user experience.

[0031] Finally, regarding the design of the lead-in port 402, it can be an opening formed by the inward recess of one side edge of the limiting plate 4, allowing the wire 5 to move in and out, as shown in the following example. Figure 2 As shown. However, the design of lead port 402 is not limited to... Figure 2 In some cases, a hole can be directly made in the limiting plate 4, with no contact between the hole and the edge of the limiting plate 4. This can also achieve the effect of leading out the wire 5 and the plug 6. All of these designs fall within the protection scope of this patent.

[0032] Working Principle: When the user needs to use a direct plug-in connection, first remove the fixing sleeve 3 from the rear of the gateway body 1, remove the limiting plate 4, and arrange the wires 5 and plug 6 inside the cable concealment cavity 2 so that the prongs of the plug 6 are aligned with the prong sockets 401 on the limiting plate 4. Then, attach the limiting plate 4 to the opening of the cable concealment cavity 2, and use the inner edge slot 201 for initial positioning. At this time, the prongs protrude from the prong sockets 401. Then, install the fixing sleeve 3 back to the rear of the gateway body 1 with screws. The positioning edge plate 301 inside the fixing sleeve 3 further limits the limiting plate 4 to ensure its stability. Because the distance between the bottom of the cable concealment cavity 2 and the limiting plate 4 is compatible with the size of the plug 6 shell, the plug 6 can be stably clamped in the cable concealment cavity 2, and the prongs protrude fully. The user can directly insert the prongs into the socket to supply power to the gateway body 1, realizing a direct plug-in connection.

[0033] If the user needs to use a wire connection, first remove the fixing sleeve 3 and the limiting plate 4, pull the wire 5 out from the cable-concealing cavity 2, and lead the wire 5 and plug 6 out through the lead-out port 402 on the limiting plate 4. Then connect the plug 6 to the corresponding socket. At this time, the gateway body 1 is connected to the power supply through the led-out wire 5. Then install the limiting plate 4 and the fixing sleeve 3 to realize the wire connection.

[0034] To prevent the wires 5 from becoming tangled, three sets of winding plates 202 are installed inside the cable storage cavity 2. The front end of each winding plate 202 is bent outward to easily hook the wires 5. When storing the wires 5, the wires 5 are wound around the outside of the winding plate 202 and wrapped in a certain direction, which can effectively prevent the wires 5 from slipping off in the direct plug-in mode, ensuring the stable storage of the wires 5 and allowing users to flexibly switch the gateway's connection mode according to different scenarios.

[0035] The above-disclosed embodiments are only a few specific examples of the present utility model. However, the embodiments of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes that can be conceived by those skilled in the art should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
