Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of edge gateways, and in particular to an edge gateway support structure. Background Technology

[0002] An edge gateway is a hardware or software device located at the edge of a network that acts as a bridge between local devices (such as sensors, controllers, industrial equipment, etc.) and the cloud or other centralized computing platforms.

[0003] An edge gateway support structure typically refers to a structure used to support and protect the internal components of an edge computing device (such as an edge gateway) in its hardware or mechanical design.

[0004] The existing edge gateway support structure has the following shortcomings:

[0005] In the daily use of gateways, the support structure is an essential component, and its core function is to stably support the gateway body. However, in actual application, the existing technical solutions have obvious pain points. The vast majority of support structures are connected to the gateway body by bolts. This connection method requires the use of special tools when installing and disassembling the gateway, and often requires tightening a large number of bolts. This directly leads to a cumbersome and laborious gateway installation process, which not only prolongs the initial installation time, but also requires a lot of time to tighten bolts when the gateway needs to be repaired, replaced, or relocated. This greatly reduces the convenience of gateway installation and disassembly, and brings many inconveniences to the user's daily operation and maintenance work. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention significantly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the gateway and reduces operation time, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an edge gateway support structure, comprising a protective mechanism and a limiting mechanism, wherein the limiting mechanism is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective mechanism;

[0008] The limiting mechanism includes a first connecting block, a rotating shaft, a swing block, a compression spring, a locking plate, a sponge pad, and a first sliding rod. The rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first connecting block, the swing block is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft, the first sliding rod is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing block, the locking plate is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the first sliding rod, the compression spring is sleeved on the outer wall of the locking plate, and the sponge pad is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking plate.

[0009] The protective mechanism includes a protective shell and a second sliding rod. The second sliding rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell. Through the above components, the gateway body is restricted and kept stable in the protective shell, replacing the traditional bolt connection method. Installation and disassembly can be completed without tools, greatly improving the convenience of operation.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. In this utility model, the locking mechanism and the protective mechanism are used in a snap-fit ​​connection to replace the traditional bolt connection method. The locking plate in the locking mechanism can form a stable locking with the slot of the protective shell under the action of the spring force. Without the need for special tools, the locking plate and the slot can be separated or joined by the rotation of the swing block. This greatly simplifies the installation and disassembly process of the gateway, reduces the operation time, and provides great convenience for maintenance, replacement or position adjustment work in daily operation and maintenance.

[0012] 2. In this utility model, the protective mechanism uses an L-shaped plate and a spring to form a lateral elastic support structure, which can clamp the gateway body from the side and use the elastic force of the spring to continuously provide a stable clamping force for the gateway, thereby further improving the fixing effect. In addition, the outer wall of the clamping plate is provided with a sponge pad, the inner wall of the protective shell is provided with a first rubber pad, and the outer wall of the L-shaped plate is provided with a second rubber pad. Through this multi-buffered structure, rigid contact between the gateway body and the support structure is effectively avoided. This design can not only buffer vibration and impact, but also prevent the gateway shell from being scratched, thereby better protecting the appearance and internal components of the gateway.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an edge gateway support structure, including a protection mechanism 1 and a restriction mechanism 2, wherein the restriction mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protection mechanism 1;

[0020] The limiting mechanism 2 includes a first connecting block 201, a rotating shaft 202, a swing block 203, a compression spring 204, a locking plate 205, a sponge pad 206, and a first sliding rod 207. The rotating shaft 202 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the first connecting block 201. The swing block 203 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 202. The first sliding rod 207 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing block 203. The locking plate 205 is fixedly connected to the shaft end of the first sliding rod 207. The compression spring 204 is sleeved on the outer wall of the locking plate 205. The sponge pad 206 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the locking plate 205.

[0021] The protective mechanism 1 includes a protective shell 101 and a second slide bar 108. The second slide bar 108 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 101. Through the above components, the gateway body 104 is restricted and stably placed in the protective shell 101, replacing the traditional bolt connection method. Installation and disassembly can be completed without tools, greatly improving the ease of operation.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, one end of the compression spring 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the clamping plate 205, and the other end of the compression spring 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the swing block 203, so that the two ends of the compression spring 204 are connected to ensure that it can be used normally in the future.

[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the protective shell 101 is provided with heat dissipation holes 102, and the bottom of the inner wall of the protective shell 101 is slidably connected to the gateway body 104. The heat dissipation holes 102 can dissipate the heat generated by the gateway body 104 in a timely manner, so as to avoid the equipment performance and service life due to high temperature.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a set of slots 103 are provided on the outer wall of the protective shell 101. The inner wall of the slots 103 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the plate 205. The cooperation between the slots 103 and the plate 205 enables the precise positioning of the limiting mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 1, ensuring that the gateway body 104 is stably placed in the protective shell 101.

[0025] like Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the protective shell 101 is fixedly connected with a second connecting block 105, and the outer wall of the second connecting block 105 is threaded with a fixing bolt 106. The entire support structure can be stably installed at the target position (such as a wall, equipment rack, etc.) through the second connecting block 105 and the fixing bolt 106, ensuring the installation stability of the support structure itself and providing a reliable bearing foundation for the gateway body 104.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, a first rubber pad 107 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 101, and a set of L-shaped plates 109 are fixedly connected to the shaft end of the second slide rod 108. Springs 111 are sleeved on the outer walls of the L-shaped plates 109. The first rubber pad 107 can buffer the contact impact between the outer wall of the gateway body 104 and the protective shell 101, and play a role in vibration reduction and protection. The L-shaped plates 109 and the springs 111 form a lateral elastic support structure, which can clamp the gateway body 104 from the side. At the same time, through the cooperation of the springs 111 and the second rubber pad 110, the damage caused by equipment vibration can be buffered and reduced.

[0027] like Figure 4 As shown, a set of second rubber pads 110 are fixedly connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 109. The second rubber pads 110 increase the friction between the L-shaped plate 109 and the gateway body 104, improve the clamping stability, and at the same time avoid direct rigid contact between the L-shaped plate 109 and the outer shell of the gateway body 104, prevent scratches on the surface of the device, and play a role in protecting the appearance and outer shell of the gateway body 104.

[0028] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: When installing the gateway body 104, the entire protective mechanism 1 is first fixed in the target position by the second connecting block 105 and fixing bolt 106 on the outer wall of the protective shell 101. Then, the gateway body 104 is slid into the protective shell 101. At this time, the first rubber pad 107 on the inner wall of the protective shell 101 will contact the outer wall of the gateway body 104 to form initial buffer protection. At the same time, the L-shaped plate 109 at the shaft end of the second sliding rod 108 on the inner wall of the protective shell 101 clamps the gateway body 104 from the side under the elastic force of the spring 111. The second rubber pad 110 on the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 109 not only lifts the clamping force but also... To maintain stability and prevent scratching the equipment during clamping, the first connecting block 201 in the rotation limiting mechanism 2 is connected to the swing block 203 via the rotating shaft 202, so that the locking plate 205 at the end of the first sliding rod 207 on the swing block 203 is aligned with the slot 103 on the outer wall of the protective shell 101. The locking plate 205 slides into the slot 103 under the elastic force of the compression spring 204, and its sponge pad 206 contacts the outer wall of the gateway body 104, realizing the stable engagement of the limiting mechanism 2 and the protective mechanism 1. When disassembly or maintenance is required, the locking plate 205 is first removed from the slot 103, and the swing block 203 is rotated to easily remove the gateway body 104.

[0029] The gateway body 104 used in this application are all common conventional devices on the market and are well known to those skilled in the art. In this application, the above-mentioned devices are used in a conventional manner without any improvement to their structure and function. As for their settings, installation and electrical connection methods, those skilled in the art can perform debugging operations according to the corresponding product instruction manuals, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
