Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gateway device technology, specifically a lightning surge protection module for gateway devices. Background Technology

[0002] Gateway devices are an indispensable component of modern network architectures, primarily used for communication and data forwarding between different networks. They act as a bridge between various network protocols, connecting different types of networks (such as LANs and WANs) to achieve data interoperability and sharing. In fields such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart homes, and industrial automation, gateway devices play a crucial role, providing data processing, protocol conversion, and secure communication functions. However, gateway devices are susceptible to threats from natural and human factors such as lightning strikes, surges, and electromagnetic interference, which can easily lead to device damage or data loss. Therefore, incorporating lightning and surge protection modules into gateway devices is particularly important, effectively protecting the stable operation and long-term use of the equipment.

[0003] Patent CN215601319U discloses a multi-functional gateway for network technology development with anti-electrophoresis protection, comprising: a main body, a power switch embedded in the front end of the main body, an indicator light embedded on one side of the power switch, a network interface on one side of the indicator light, and a surge protector installed at the rear end of the main body; a rotating shaft installed inside the main body, with a winding reel fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft, and cables wound around the inner side of the winding reel. This multi-functional gateway for network technology development with anti-electrophoresis protection features a winding reel for storing internal cables, allowing the gateway to connect to other devices via built-in cables when external connections are insufficient. The cables can be freely pulled out from the cable outlet according to length requirements. During retrieval, a micro motor drives the winding reel to rotate and retrieve the cables, making retrieval and retraction convenient and easy to use.

[0004] The aforementioned existing technology connects a surge protector to the device body. When an electrical circuit or communication line connected to the device suddenly experiences a spike in current or voltage due to external interference, the surge protector can conduct and divert the current in a very short time, thereby preventing damage to other components or equipment in the circuit. However, the existing design has some safety hazards: the surge protector is installed at the rear of the device body, and its external exposure makes it susceptible to accidental impacts or physical damage, increasing the risk of equipment failure. Furthermore, an unreasonable placement may also affect its protective effect. Therefore, the design lacks comprehensive protection and optimization for the surge protection module. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose a lightning surge protection module for gateway devices. This module takes into account the complexity of the external environment of the device and optimizes the design by embedding the protector inside the gateway body, avoiding the risk of damage from its external exposure. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a lightning surge protection module for gateway devices to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0007] The gateway device surge protection module includes the main body and is combined with... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the left side of the machine body has multiple elongated air intake holes arranged vertically at equal intervals, and the right side of the machine body has multiple short air intake holes arranged vertically at equal intervals, allowing outside air to enter the machine body. A partition is provided inside the machine body near the rear. A surge protection module is provided at the bottom of the inner wall of the machine body and behind the partition. The partition separates the installation area of ​​the surge protection module from other components of the gateway, and the heat dissipation mechanism is also located in the installation area of ​​the surge protection module, reducing the waste of internal space of the machine body.

[0008] A vent is provided on the rear side of the partition near the right end. An exhaust fan is provided on the rear side of the partition at the location of the vent. The exhaust fan can be controlled to start and stop by a thermostat or can be started and stopped synchronously with the gateway device. A heat dissipation vent is provided on the rear side of the body directly behind the exhaust fan. The exhaust fan actively dissipates heat, expelling air from inside the body, so that heat is expelled from the heat dissipation vent with the airflow. A fixed dustproof screen is provided inside the heat dissipation vent to prevent dust from entering the body through the heat dissipation vent. A top cover is provided on the top of the body for closing the top of the body.

[0009] Preferred, combined Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the left side of the machine body is magnetically attached with a first magnetic dustproof net, and the multiple elongated air inlets are all covered by the first magnetic dustproof net, which serves to prevent dust and facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the first magnetic dustproof net. The rear end of the elongated air inlets is located behind the partition, allowing outside air on the left side of the machine body to flow from both the front and rear directions of the partition, which also helps to dissipate heat for the surge protection module.

[0010] The right side of the machine body is magnetically attached with a second magnetic dustproof mesh. Multiple short strip-shaped air inlets are covered by the second magnetic dustproof mesh, which serves to prevent dust and facilitates the disassembly and cleaning of the second magnetic dustproof mesh. The rear end of the short strip-shaped air inlets is located in front of the partition, allowing outside air on the right side of the machine body to enter from the front of the partition, which is beneficial for the heat dissipation of the gateway device.

[0011] Preferably, a wire avoidance opening is provided at the top of the partition and near the left end to avoid the connection wires between the surge protection module and the gateway device.

[0012] Preferably, the top of each of the four corners of the inner wall of the machine body is provided with a mounting docking block, and the top of the top cover and near the four corners are provided with mounting holes a.

The U-shaped cable passage is located between the two locking docking blocks. Two mounting holes b are opened at the top of the top cover and near the middle of the rear edge. The mounting holes b are connected to locking bolts. The threaded end of the locking bolt is threaded to the top of the locking docking block, pressing the locking block to fix the position of the rubber ring. The rubber ring can ensure the stability of the wire after being squeezed, and prevent the power supply wire from separating from the lightning surge protection module when pulled by external force.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The lightning surge protection module of this gateway device is completely embedded in the internal space of the gateway body, avoiding the risk of accidental collision or physical damage caused by traditional external design. At the same time, the optimized module layout and partition design reduce internal circuit interference and ensure its reliable protection function under lightning or surge impact.

[0018] 2. The lightning surge protection module of this gateway device significantly improves the internal air circulation efficiency and effectively reduces the operating temperature of the equipment by setting long and short air intake holes on the left and right sides of the body, combined with active heat dissipation of the exhaust fan and multi-directional airflow channels; at the same time, the magnetic dust filter is used to filter the air intake to prevent dust from entering the interior and ensure long-term stable operation.
