Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] The Internet of Things (IoT) gateway is a core hub device in the IoT architecture. It mainly undertakes key functions such as data interaction, protocol conversion, and device management between the perception layer and the network layer. It is the "translator" and "traffic commander" connecting the physical world and the digital world.

[0003] However, existing IoT gateways still have certain shortcomings. For example, traditional IoT gateways often use open designs or flip-top protective covers for their interfaces. However, open interfaces are susceptible to dust intrusion, especially in industrial workshop environments, where a lot of dust accumulates inside the interface, leading to oxidation of the metal pins and causing data transmission packet loss or communication interruption. Secondly, the casing of traditional IoT gateways is often fixed with screws, requiring maintenance personnel to carry screwdrivers and other tools to disassemble them, resulting in low maintenance efficiency.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-5 This utility model discloses an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway, comprising: a gateway housing 1; a slider 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the gateway housing 1; a cover 3 slidably connected to the outer surface of the slider 2; a rotating shaft 4 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the cover 3; a torsion spring 5 disposed on the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4; a baffle 6 rotatably connected to the outer surface of the rotating shaft 4; a snap-fit ​​seat 7 fixedly connected to the rear surface of the cover 3; a gateway interface 18 disposed on the front surface of the gateway housing 1; a socket 17 disposed on the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​seat 7; and a buckle 19 fixedly connected to the outer surface of the gateway housing 1. The outer surface of the 9 is provided with a through hole 20 to facilitate the installation of the gateway. The lower surface of the cover 3 is provided with a sliding groove 21. The inner surface of the sliding groove 21 is slidably connected to the slide bar 2. The sliding groove 21 is convex and the slide bar 2 is convex, which is used to limit the movement of the cover 3. The upper surface of the gateway housing 1 is in contact with the cover 3 to close the gateway housing 1. The cover 3 is L-shaped. The left end of the torsion spring 5 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 4, and the right end of the torsion spring 5 is fixedly connected to the baffle 6. The rear surface of the baffle 6 is in contact with the gateway housing 1 to facilitate the shielding and protection of the gateway interface 18.

[0029] The limiting component 8 includes a snap-fit ​​box 9, a slide rod 10, a limiting block 11, an inclined insert block 12, a spring 13, a pressure rod 14, a pressure block 15, and a wedge block 16. The inner surface of the snap-fit ​​box 9 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 10, the upper end of the slide rod 10 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 11, the outer surface of the limiting block 11 is slidably connected to the inclined insert block 12, the lower surface of the inclined insert block 12 is fixedly connected to the spring 13, and the inner surface of the snap-fit ​​box 9 is fixedly connected to the pressure rod 14. The sliding connection is as follows: the outer surface of the pressure rod 14 is fixedly connected to the pressure block 15; the front end of the pressure rod 14 is fixedly connected to the wedge block 16; the inner surface of the insertion hole 17 is adapted to the inclined insertion block 12 to facilitate the installation and fixation of the cover 3; the rear surface of the gateway housing 1 is fixedly connected to the buckle box 9; the outer surface of the inclined insertion block 12 is slidably connected to the wedge block 16; the outer surface of the slide rod 10 is slidably connected to the inclined insertion block 12; and the lower end of the spring 13 is fixedly connected to the buckle box 9.

[0030] Working principle: When a specific gateway interface 18 on the gateway needs to be used, simply rotate the corresponding baffle 6 around the pivot 4, causing the torsion spring 5 to twist. This exposes the gateway interface 18 for easy access. When the interface is not in use, simply pull out the terminal block. The baffle 6 then covers the interface under the restoring force of the torsion spring 5, reducing the possibility of dust particles entering the gateway interface 18. This effectively prevents problems such as interface oxidation and short circuits caused by dust accumulation. When maintenance personnel need to inspect the electrical components inside the gateway housing 1, they simply press the pressure block 15 on the limit assembly 8, causing the pressure rod 14 to slide along the inclined surface of the inclined insert block 12, thus moving the inclined insert block 12. Block 12 moves downward along slide bar 10, compressing spring 13 and disengaging the inclined insert block 12 from the inside of socket 17, thus releasing the overall restriction on cover 3. Then, cover 3 can be pulled forward along slide bar 2 to complete the disassembly of cover 3, exposing the electrical components inside gateway housing 1 for maintenance. After maintenance, simply align the slide groove 21 on cover 3 with slide bar 2 and insert it. When the socket 17 on buckle seat 7 corresponds to the retracted inclined insert block 12, release pressure block 15. Under the rebound force of spring 13, inclined insert block 12 will automatically insert into socket 17, thus closing cover 3. This is simple and convenient, and requires no tools, effectively solving the problem of low maintenance efficiency caused by traditional screw fixing methods.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
