Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of controllers, in particular to a free-style two-way splicing controller. Background Art

[0002] A controller is a device that controls the starting, speed regulation, braking, and reversing of a motor by changing the wiring of the main or control circuits and the resistance values in a predetermined sequence. Composed of a program counter, instruction register, instruction decoder, timing generator, and operation controller, it is the "decision-making body" that issues commands, effectively coordinating and directing the operations of the entire computer system.

[0003] Current controllers generally have only single-channel usage functions when in use, and are unable to splice and integrate multi-channel boards. They are also unable to match the corresponding number of input and output boards according to the needs of the host, making them inconvenient to use. In addition, there are many plugs plugged into the controller. When the operator needs to unplug the plugs from the controller, they need to unplug them one by one and pull the wires to unplug the plugs collectively, which can easily damage the sockets of the controller, waste time, and be inconvenient to use.

[0004] Aiming at the above problems, the existing device is improved and a free-style two-way splicing controller is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. This invention proposes a free-style two-way splicing controller. The input / output module and control card module are electrically connected. The input / output module is equipped with 32 card slots, which can be freely connected to input / output cards. It supports HDMI, DVI, SDI, and HDBT input / output cards.

This configuration allows the controller to freely plug in cards according to the operator's needs, expanding the controller's applicability and facilitating its use.

[0032] 2. This invention proposes a free-style two-way splicing controller. The TCP / IP, RS232, and IRAYE interfaces in the board module can all control the local device.

The control interface is shared with the local control RS232 interface, and the command initials are used to identify whether it is a local command or a remote command. Remote control of the local device: either the receiving box or the sending box can control the local device via RS232, using the local control protocol. Remote control of the remote device: RS232 and IR can be transparently transmitted from both the receiving box and the sending box via the HDBT link. Six built-in EDID settings are available, with EDID2 as the default. This configuration allows the controller to perform different control operations in various situations, enhancing its versatility.

[0033] 3. The present invention proposes a free-style two-way splicing controller. An operator inserts the plugs into the controller body by inserting them through the connecting holes. To remove the plugs, the operator applies pressure with their fingers and pushes the push block outward. This, in turn, causes the entire sliding plate to move outward within the inner cavity of the mounting housing via the limit slider. The rotating shaft then moves along the inclined guideway, driving the extrusion push plate on the extended arm inward, clamping the plugs. The rotating shaft then moves into the mounting side slot, further pushing the push block to remove all the plugs. To reset the plugs, the operator simply pushes the push block back to its original position. The return spring forces the entire extraction assembly back into place, facilitating the next removal. This makes the operation convenient and quick, saving the operator time in plug removal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
