Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of OPS modules, and in particular to an OPS module plugging and unplugging detection device and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Traditional all-in-one computers, electronic whiteboards, digital signage and other products are installed on the back of the display screen using DIY computer accessories or MINIITX motherboards and other accessories. The internal wiring of such products is complicated and the structure is loose. It is very easy to have poor contact or looseness during transportation or use. Once a problem occurs, the entire display screen must be disassembled for inspection. If there is no professional on-site, it is inconvenient for the customer to repair and replace it. In this case, the customer can only pack the entire LCD screen and send it back to the manufacturer or the manufacturer arranges professional technicians to handle it on-site. No matter which method is used, the cost is very high. The new OPS open plug-in computer specification makes the computer part into a modular standard product, integrates the motherboard, memory, hard disk, WIFI and power supply, etc. with a standard size shell and uses a standard 80PIN JAE interface to connect with the OPS interface in the LCD screen. Through the pull-out design, the PC part of the computer and the LCD all-in-one can be easily and quickly separated, which is very convenient for repairing, replacing, upgrading and replacing computer components. Customers can also disassemble and assemble the OPS computer part without professional knowledge. The OPS computer is very small (the international standard size is 180*119*30mm, and the domestic standard size is 180.8*195.2*42.5mm). Even if there are defective products, customers can easily send the products back to the manufacturer for repair and replacement by express delivery, which greatly reduces logistics and labor costs. For the above reasons, the application of OPS is becoming more and more extensive.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4As shown, on the one hand, the present invention provides an OPS module plug-in detection device, including an OPS detection board 1 and a single-chip computer 2; the OPS detection board 1 is provided with a first conductive sheet 10, a second conductive sheet 12 and a photoelectric coupling module 14; the first conductive sheet 10 is provided with a first hole for inserting a first conductive screw 11; the second conductive sheet 12 is provided with a second hole for inserting a second conductive screw 13; the first conductive sheet 10 is grounded; the second conductive sheet 12 is suspended and connected to the input end of the photoelectric coupling module 14, and the output end of the photoelectric coupling module 14 is connected to the single-chip computer 2; when the fastening screws of the OPS module are tightened, the The fastening screw presses against the first conductive screw 11, and the first conductive screw 11 moves forward to press against the second conductive screw 13, and the photoelectric coupling module 14 outputs a first level signal to the single-chip computer 2, and the single-chip computer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a locked state according to the first level signal; when the fastening screw of the OPS module is loosened, the fastening screw does not press against the first conductive screw 11, and the first conductive screw 11 does not contact the second conductive screw 13, and the photoelectric coupling module 14 outputs a second level signal to the single-chip computer 2, and the single-chip computer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a ready-to-plug state according to the second level signal.

[0026] Specifically, when the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a locked state according to the first level signal, it determines that the OPS module can be turned on. On the one hand, the single-chip microcomputer 2 can play through the voice module and be turned on manually; on the other hand, the single-chip microcomputer 2 can also communicate with the OPS module to control the OPS module to turn on. When the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a ready-to-plug state according to the second level signal, on the one hand, the single-chip microcomputer 2 can play through the voice module and be turned off manually; on the other hand, the single-chip microcomputer 2 can also communicate with the OPS module to control the OPS module to turn off. Thereby, hot plugging can be prevented and the inclusion of the OPS module can be achieved.

[0027] Furthermore, since the OPS module includes two fastening screws, the OPS detection board 1 includes two pieces. Each OPS detection board 1 detects one fastening screw. Each OPS detection board 1 is connected to an I / O interface of the single-chip microcomputer 2, and the single-chip microcomputer 2 makes a judgment based on the level signals of the two I / O interfaces.

[0028] Specifically, in one embodiment, when both of the fastening screws are locked, the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a locked state; when one of the fastening screws is loose, the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a state to be plugged in and out, and the single-chip microcomputer 2 performs voice prompts, power on or off according to the state of the OPS module. In another embodiment, when one of the fastening screws is locked, the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a locked state; when both of the fastening screws are loose, the single-chip microcomputer 2 determines that the OPS module is in a state to be plugged in and out, and the single-chip microcomputer 2 performs voice prompts, power on or off according to the state of the OPS module.

[0029] Furthermore, the first conductive screw 11 and the second conductive screw 13 are both elastic screws, including a screw head 111, a screw rod 113 and an elastic member 112 (the elastic member 112 is a retractable element, such as a spring, etc.); the elastic member 112 is arranged on the outer ring of the screw rod 113; when the fastening screw of the OPS module is tightened, the fastening screw presses against the screw head 111 of the first conductive screw 11, the elastic member 112 of the first conductive screw 11 contracts, and the screw rod 113 of the first conductive screw 11 passes through the first hole and presses against the screw head 111 of the second conductive screw 13; when the fastening screw of the OPS module is loosened, the fastening screw does not press against the screw head 111 of the first conductive screw 11, the elastic member 112 of the first conductive screw 11 extends, and the screw rod 113 of the first conductive screw 11 does not contact the screw head 111 of the second conductive screw 13.

[0030] Specifically, the first conductive sheet 10 is an L-shaped conductive sheet; the second conductive sheet 12 is an L-shaped conductive sheet. One end of the L-shaped conductive sheet is fixed on the OPS detection board 1, and the other end of the L-shaped conductive sheet is for the first conductive screw 11 / the second conductive screw 13 to be inserted.

[0031] Furthermore, the photoelectric coupling module 14 includes a photoelectric coupler NM01; the photoelectric coupler NM01 includes a light-emitting diode and a phototransistor; the cathode of the light-emitting diode is connected to the second conductive sheet 12, and the collector of the phototransistor is connected to the single-chip computer 2; the collector of the phototransistor is also connected to a DC power supply 3.3V through a first resistor RM01; the emitter of the phototransistor is grounded.

[0032] Specifically, the photoelectric coupling module 14 also includes a second resistor RM02 and a third resistor RM03; the anode of the light-emitting diode is connected to the DC power supply 3.3V through the second resistor RM02; the cathode of the light-emitting diode is connected to the collector of the phototransistor through the third resistor RM03.

[0033] Furthermore, the OPS detection board 1 is also provided with a socket 15 including three holes; the second socket ② of the socket 15 is connected to the photoelectric coupling module 14 and the single-chip computer 2; the third socket ③ of the socket 15 is grounded.

[0034] Specifically, the OPS module plugging and unplugging detection device further includes a first capacitor CM01 and a second capacitor CM02; the first jack ① of the socket 15 is grounded through the first capacitor CM01 and the second capacitor CM02 connected in parallel.

[0035] In this embodiment, the OPS module plug-in detection device uses the I / O port of the single-chip computer 2 to judge the high and low levels. When the fastening screw of the OPS module is locked, the first conductive screw 11 contacts the second conductive screw 13, so that the light-emitting diode connected to the second conductive screw (the second conductive sheet 12) is grounded, thereby forming a loop, triggering the light-emitting diode to emit light, and then the phototransistor outputs a low level. When the I / O port of the single-chip computer 2 detects a low level, it is determined that the OPS module is in a locked state and performs a corresponding power-on action; when the OPS module is locked, the first conductive screw 11 contacts the second conductive screw 13, so that the light-emitting diode connected to the second conductive screw (the second conductive sheet 12) is grounded, thereby forming a circuit. A loop is formed, triggering the light-emitting diode to emit light, and then the phototransistor outputs a low level. When the I / O port of the single-chip microcomputer 2 detects a low level, it is determined that the OPS module is in a locked state, and the corresponding power-on action is executed; when the fastening screws of the OPS module are loose, the first conductive screw 11 and the second conductive screw 13 are not in contact, and the light-emitting diode connected to the second conductive screw (second conductive sheet 12) is suspended, the light-emitting diode does not emit light, and then the output end of the phototransistor is pulled up to a high level. When the I / O port of the single-chip microcomputer 2 detects a high level, it is determined that the OPS module is in a ready-to-plug state, and the corresponding shutdown action is executed.

[0036] On the other hand, the present invention provides an electronic device, comprising the OPS module plugging and unplugging detection device and an OPS module.

[0037] The above is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
