Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of IoT data acquisition accessories, and in particular to an IoT data acquisition device mounting structure. Background Technology

[0002] IoT data acquisition devices are a key component of IoT systems. They are responsible for collecting, processing, and transmitting data generated by devices. Their working principle is mainly based on sensor and communication technologies, including sensor nodes, data acquisition modules, data processing units, and communication modules.

[0003] In related technologies, power distribution facilities are usually equipped with corresponding data acquisition devices. By installing various sensors such as temperature and humidity inside the power distribution facilities and connecting each sensor to the data acquisition device, the internal structure of the power distribution facilities can be monitored and analyzed in real time, thus ensuring the normal operation of the power distribution facilities.

[0004] The problem with the related technology is that when configuring data acquisition devices on power distribution facilities, installation positions are usually reserved on the power distribution facilities. However, since the size of the display screen of the data acquisition device is larger than the size of the main body, the data acquisition device can be installed by embedding the display screen onto the outer surface of the power distribution facility, while the main body extends into the facility and is fixed by fastening screws. This installation method is complicated and has low installation efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] To simplify the installation of IoT data collectors and improve installation efficiency, this application provides an IoT data collector installation structure.

[0006] The IoT data collector installation structure provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An IoT data collector mounting structure is provided for mounting the data collector on a power distribution facility. The power distribution facility has a mounting hole. The mounting structure includes an inner enclosure and an outer enclosure respectively disposed on both sides of the mounting hole. The inner and outer enclosures form a mounting cavity with the mounting hole. An elastic snap-fit ​​component is disposed within the mounting cavity. The elastic snap-fit ​​component has a movable clamping end to provide clamping force for the data collector. A clamping release component is also disposed within the mounting cavity to move the clamping end away from the data collector.

[0008] Optionally, the inner enclosure includes an inner side plate adapted to the outer periphery of the data acquisition unit. The inner side plate is fixed to the inner wall of the power distribution facility. An inner end plate is installed on the side of the inner side plate away from the mounting hole. The inner end plate is detachably connected to the inner side plate.

[0009] Optionally, the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly includes at least two elastic clamps, which are evenly distributed on both sides of the mounting cavity. Each elastic clamp has a fixed end and a clamping end. The fixed end is fixedly connected to the inner enclosure, and the clamping end extends into the mounting cavity.

[0010] Optionally, the mounting cavity is further provided with at least two oppositely distributed side partitions, which separate an outer chamber and an inner chamber within the mounting cavity. The side partitions have through holes, and the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly is disposed in the outer chamber, with its clamping end extending through the through hole into the inner chamber. The size of the inner chamber is adapted to the external dimensions of the data acquisition device.

[0011] Optionally, the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly has an abutment surface facing the mounting cavity and a force-bearing surface facing away from the mounting cavity. The force-bearing surface is provided with a transmission element, and the transmission element has a transmission groove. The clamping release assembly has a driving end, which can move into the transmission groove to cooperate with the transmission element, and through the transmission element, drive the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly away from the data acquisition device.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping release assembly includes a rotating shaft, a transmission rod, and a driver. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted in the mounting cavity, the transmission rod is parallel to and connected to the rotating shaft, and the driver is connected to the rotating shaft to drive the rotating shaft to rotate, so that the transmission rod can approach or move away from the clamping end of the elastic locking assembly.

[0013] Optionally, a front chamber is provided between the outer wall of the power distribution facility and the inner enclosure. An elastic element is installed in the front chamber. The elastic element can extend and retract in a direction perpendicular to the outer wall of the power distribution facility. A through hole is provided on the outer wall of the power distribution facility. A pushing element is installed in the through hole. The extension and retraction end of the elastic element is connected to the pushing element.

[0014] Optionally, when the data acquisition unit is installed in the mounting cavity, the deformation force generated by the elastic element is less than the clamping force of the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly on the data acquisition unit.

[0015] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. With the setting of the elastic snap-fit ​​component, when the data acquisition device is installed in the mounting cavity, its outer surface abuts against the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component and generates a squeezing force. The squeezing force forces the elastic snap-fit ​​component to deform and apply a certain amount of reaction force to the data acquisition device. This reaction force can clamp and fix the data acquisition device in the mounting cavity, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0017] 2. By setting the clamping release component, when the data acquisition unit is removed from the mounting cavity, the clamping release component can apply an external force to the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component, causing the clamping end to move away from the data acquisition unit. At this time, the clamping force of the elastic snap-fit ​​component on the data acquisition unit disappears, thus making it easy to remove the data acquisition unit.

[0018] 3. Through the coordinated design of the elastic element and the pushing element, when the data acquisition unit is installed into the mounting cavity, it will squeeze the pushing element to move inward, causing the elastic element to compress. When the data acquisition unit is disassembled, the external force of the elastic snap-fit ​​component on the data acquisition unit disappears, the elastic element restores its deformation, and thus drives the data acquisition unit to move outward through the pushing element, further facilitating the removal of the data acquisition unit.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses an installation structure for an Internet of Things (IoT) data collector. (Refer to...) Figure 1 An IoT data collector installation structure is provided for installing a data collector on a power distribution facility. The data collector can be divided into a display screen and a main body. The display screen is larger than the main body. The installation location can be the front, back, or any one of the four sides of the power distribution facility.

[0026] A mounting hole is provided on the power distribution facility corresponding to the installation location. The mounting structure of the IoT data collector includes an inner enclosure 1 and an outer enclosure 2 located at the mounting hole. The inner enclosure 1 mates with the main body of the IoT data collector, and the outer enclosure 2 mates with the display screen. The inner enclosure 1, the outer enclosure 2, and the mounting hole together form the mounting cavity 3 of the IoT data collector.

[0027] Specifically, the inner enclosure 1 is a square shell-shaped structure with an opening on one side, facing the mounting hole; the outer enclosure 2 is a square shell-shaped structure with openings on both sides, one opening facing the mounting hole and the other opening forming a mounting port for the IoT data collector, which can be inserted into the mounting cavity 3 through the mounting port. The inner enclosure 1 specifically includes an inner side plate 11 adapted to the outer periphery of the data collector, and an inner end plate 12 adapted to the end of the data collector. The inner end plate 12 and the inner side plate 11 are connected to each other to form the inner enclosure 1 structure. Preferably, the inner end plate 12 and the inner side plate 11 are detachably connected, such as by screws or snap-fit, etc., which is not limited here.

[0028] Furthermore, at least two side partitions 6 are provided in the mounting cavity 3. The at least two side partitions 6 correspond one-to-one with two relatively distributed inner side plates 11, and divide the mounting cavity 3 into an outer cavity 31 and an inner cavity 32. An elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 4 is installed in the outer cavity 31. The elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 4 has a movable clamping end, which can provide clamping force for the Internet of Things data collector and clamp it and fix it in the mounting cavity 3.

[0029] The following describes the specific structure and arrangement of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 4 using an example where two relatively distributed side partitions 6 are provided in the mounting cavity 3. The distance between the two side partitions 6 is equal to the length of the main body of the IoT data collector, so that the left and right side walls of the IoT data collector can fully contact the side partitions 6, while the upper and lower side walls can fully contact the inner side plate 11.

[0030] The elastic clamping assembly 4 includes at least two elastic clamping plates 41, which are distributed opposite to each other. Each elastic clamping plate 41 has a fixed end and a clamping end. A through hole is provided on the side partition 6 to connect the inner cavity 32 and the outer cavity 31. The fixed end of each elastic clamping plate 41 is fixed in the outer cavity 31, and the clamping end extends through the through hole into the inner cavity 32. Since the length of the inner cavity 32 matches the length of the IoT data collector, the distance between the clamping ends of the two oppositely distributed elastic clamping plates 41 is less than the length of the IoT data collector. When the IoT data collector is installed in the inner cavity 32, the two outer side walls will squeeze the clamping ends of the elastic clamping plates 41, causing the elastic clamping plates 41 to deform and generate a reaction force on the IoT data collector, thereby clamping and fixing the IoT data collector.

[0031] When there are two side partitions 6, the number of elastic clamps 41 is preferably four. The four elastic clamps 41 are arranged in pairs, with the two elastic clamps 41 in the same group being distributed opposite each other. The elastic clamps 41 can be made of thin metal plates, with the side of their clamping end facing the data acquisition device as the contact surface and the side facing away from the data acquisition device as the force-bearing surface. Those skilled in the art will understand that, in order to improve the fixing effect of the elastic snap-fit ​​assembly 4 on the data acquisition device, a rubber pad layer can be provided on the contact surface of the clamping end of the elastic clamp 41 to increase the friction between the elastic clamp 41 and the data acquisition device.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mounting cavity 3 is also provided with a clamping release component 5 that cooperates with the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4. A transmission component 7 is provided on the force-bearing surface of the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4. A transmission groove 8 is provided on the transmission component 7. The clamping release component 5 includes a rotating shaft 51, a transmission rod 52 and a driver 53. The driver 53 is connected to the rotating shaft 51 and can drive the shaft to rotate. The transmission rod 52 is located on one side of the rotating shaft 51 and is connected to the rotating shaft 51. When the rotating shaft 51 rotates, it can drive the transmission rod 52 to rotate along the rotating shaft 51, so that the transmission rod 52 moves closer to or away from the transmission component 7.

[0033] In practice, the data acquisition unit is fixed by the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4, at which time the transmission rod 52 is away from the transmission component 7. When it is necessary to release the clamping fixation of the data acquisition unit, the driver 53 is started, which drives the transmission rod 52 to approach the transmission component 7 and enter the transmission groove 8, thereby driving the transmission component 7 to rotate, so that the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4 is away from the data acquisition unit, and the clamping effect is released.

[0034] Furthermore, a front chamber 33 is also separated on the side of the outer chamber 31 near the mounting hole. An elastic element 9 and a pushing element 10 are disposed within the front chamber 33. The elastic element 9 can extend and retract along the insertion direction of the data acquisition device, and the extending end of the elastic element 9 faces the outer wall of the power distribution facility. A through hole connecting to the interior of the outer protective component 2 is provided on the outer wall of the power distribution facility. The pushing element 10 is disposed within this through hole and connected to the extending end of the elastic element 9. When the elastic element 9 naturally extends, the pushing element 10 extends into the interior of the outer protective component 2. Preferably, the elastic element 9 is a linear spring.

[0035] With the above structure, when installing the IoT data collector, the main body of the collector is installed in the inner chamber 32, and the display screen is installed in the outer protective component 2. Since the size of the display screen is larger than that of the main body, during installation, the display screen will press against the pushing component 10, causing the elastic component 9 to compress inwards. After installation, the elastic component 9 remains compressed. It is important to note that to ensure the installation stability of the data collector, the deformation force generated by the compression of the elastic component 9 should be less than the clamping force of the clamping end of the elastic locking assembly 4 on the data collector.

[0036] When disassembling the data acquisition unit, the clamping force of the elastic locking component 4 on the data acquisition unit is first released by the clamping release component 5. At this time, the elastic component 9 restores its deformation and drives the pushing component 10 to move outward, thereby pushing the display screen part of the data acquisition unit to move outward, and finally making the data acquisition unit part exposed from the outer protective component 2, so that the staff can remove the data acquisition unit.

[0037] This application embodiment discloses an IoT data collector installation structure. With the setting of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4, when the data collector is installed into the installation cavity 3, its outer side abuts against the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4 and generates a squeezing force. The squeezing force forces the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4 to deform and apply a certain amount of reaction force to the data collector. This reaction force can clamp and fix the data collector in the installation cavity 3, which is simple and convenient to operate.

[0038] By setting the clamping release component 5, when the data acquisition unit is removed from the mounting cavity 3, the clamping release component 5 can apply an external force to the clamping end of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4, causing the clamping end to move away from the data acquisition unit. At this time, the clamping force of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4 on the data acquisition unit disappears, thus making it easy to remove the data acquisition unit.

[0039] With the cooperation of the elastic element 9 and the pusher 10, when the data acquisition device is installed in the mounting cavity 3, it will squeeze the pusher 10 to move inward, causing the elastic element 9 to be compressed. When the data acquisition device is disassembled, the external force of the elastic snap-fit ​​component 4 on the data acquisition device disappears, and the elastic element 9 restores its deformation, thereby driving the data acquisition device to move outward through the pusher 10, which further facilitates the removal of the data acquisition device.

[0040] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
