Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electrical engineering, and in particular relates to an Internet of Things (IoT) driving component. Background Technology

[0002] To achieve timed on / off switching and brightness adjustment, LED lighting fixtures typically incorporate a lighting control device within the electrical enclosure. This device usually includes a communication module and a driver. The communication module receives adjustment signals and transmits them to the MCU module within the driver for dimming operations. However, in existing lighting control devices, the communication module and driver are integrated into one unit. This presents challenges for the communication module, including electromagnetic interference, temperature variations, and electrical isolation. Furthermore, failure of any one module affects the entire device, resulting in low reliability. Additionally, the terminal plug-in connection between the communication module and driver leads to relatively poor waterproofing. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical objective of this invention is to provide an Internet of Things (IoT) driver component to solve the problem of communication module settings in lighting fixtures.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: An Internet of Things (IoT) driving component includes: an IoT driver and a communication module; The communication module is movably connected to the side wall of the IoT driver and is detachably connected to the side wall of the IoT driver. The communication module is electrically connected to the IoT driver via a connecting cable. The side wall of the IoT driver or communication module has a sliding groove extending along the height direction, and the corresponding slider is provided on the side wall of the communication module or IoT driver connected thereto; the side wall of the IoT driver or communication module also has a buckle hole, and the corresponding buckle is provided on the side wall of the communication module or IoT driver connected thereto. Insert the slider into the groove and slide it until the buckle engages with the buckle hole to secure the communication module.

[0005] Specifically, the chute adopts an L-shaped chute.

[0006] The communication module or IoT driver with a latch has a recess on its top or bottom surface, and the latch is located in the recess.

[0007] More preferably, the communication module also has multiple through holes. Depending on the requirements, the communication module can be installed on the IoT driver, or screws can be driven into the through holes to fix it in the electrical cavity of the lamp.

[0008] Specifically, the through hole is a strip-shaped hole.

[0009] Because of the adoption of the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art: This invention detachably mounts the communication module to the side wall of the IoT driver and electrically connects it to the IoT driver via a connecting cable. By placing the communication module externally relative to the IoT driver, it effectively isolates the communication module from the high-temperature environment and potential electromagnetic radiation sources generated during IoT driver operation, thereby significantly reducing the temperature impact and electromagnetic interference on the communication module. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the communication module, reduces communication failures caused by environmental factors, and improves communication quality and operating efficiency. Furthermore, the electrical connection between the communication module and the IoT driver via the connecting cable provides relatively good waterproofing.

[0010] The communication module of this application is fixed to the side wall of the IoT driver by a hook structure, without the need for other external fixing or positioning parts, which facilitates the installation and removal of the communication module.

[0011] The communication module not only features a hook-and-loop structure but also through-holes for screws to be driven in for secure mounting. It can be installed on an IoT driver or directly fixed inside the electrical cavity by driving screws into the through-holes, depending on the requirements of different electrical cavities.

[0012] Furthermore, since the communication module is external to the IoT driver and can be detached, users can choose to add or remove the communication module according to their needs. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The present invention provides a more detailed description of an Internet of Things (IoT) driver component in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description and claims.

[0019] Example See Figures 1 to 4 This embodiment provides an Internet of Things (IoT) driving component, including an IoT driver 1 and a communication module 2. The communication module 2 is movably connected to the side wall of the IoT driver 1 and is detachably connected; the two are electrically connected via a connecting cable.

[0020] See Figure 2 In one specific connection method, the communication module 2 in this embodiment is hooked onto the side wall of the IoT driver 1. Specifically, a groove 11 extending along the height direction is provided on the side wall of the IoT driver 1. The groove 11 is L-shaped, and a corresponding slider 21 is provided on the side where the communication module 2 connects to the IoT driver 1. In addition, a buckle hole 12 is also provided on the same side wall of the IoT driver 1 where the groove 11 is provided, and a corresponding buckle 22 is provided on the side where the communication module 2 connects to the IoT driver 1. By inserting the slider 21 of the driver into the groove 11 and sliding it until the buckle 22 is engaged in the buckle hole 12, the communication module 2 and the IoT driver 1 can be fixed.

[0021] More preferably, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, a recess 23 is provided on the top or bottom surface of the communication module 2, and a buckle 22 is provided in the recess 23, with one end of the buckle 22 extending to the top notch of the recess, so that the user can press and disassemble it.

[0022] In summary, in this embodiment, the communication module 2 is externally mounted relative to the IoT driver 1, effectively isolating it from the high-temperature environment and potential electromagnetic radiation sources generated during the operation of the IoT driver 1. This significantly reduces the temperature impact and electromagnetic interference on the communication module 2. This design ensures the stability and reliability of the communication module 2, reduces communication failures caused by environmental factors, and improves communication quality and operating efficiency. Furthermore, the communication module 2 is fixed to the side wall of the IoT driver 1 via a hook structure, eliminating the need for other external fixing or positioning components, thus facilitating the assembly and disassembly of the communication module 2. Additionally, the electrical connection between the communication module 2 and the IoT driver 1 via a connecting wire provides superior waterproofing.

[0023] More preferably, see Figure 4 In this embodiment, the communication module 2 is also provided with multiple through holes 24. The communication module 2 can be installed on the IoT driver 1 as needed, or directly fixed to the electrical cavity of the lamp by inserting screws into the through holes 24, to meet the needs of different electrical cavities. Furthermore, the through holes 24 in this embodiment are strip-shaped holes, accommodating more screw posts within the electrical cavities.
