[0049] Example

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 This embodiment provides an integrated management and control system for industrial automation control, and the integrated management and control system includes: a control module 100, a visualization module 200, a position adjustment module 300 and a guide rail 700.

[0051] The guide rail 700 is extended along the automated production line, and the position adjustment module 300 is slidably matched to the guide rail 700. The visualization module 200 is installed on the position adjustment module 300, and both the visualization module 200 and the position adjustment module 300 are wirelessly connected to the control module 100, so that the control module 100 can remotely control the position adjustment module 300 to move along the guide rail 700 and receive the video image signal collected by the visualization module 200.

[0052] The control module 100 can be used to control the position adjustment module 300 to move along the guide rail 700, so as to adjust the visualization module to any position on the production line, so as to facilitate observing the specific conditions of the production line through the visualization module 200, so that the monitoring task of the automated production line can be completed remotely.

[0053] Specifically in this embodiment, the position adjustment module 300 includes: a moving seat 400 , a power wheel 410 and a clamping wheel 420 .

[0054] The rail surface of the guide rail 700 is provided with first racks 710 continuously arranged along the length direction thereof. The visualization module 200 is installed on the motion seat 400 .

[0057] The lifting plate 500 is slidably disposed on the moving seat 400 , and the sliding direction of the lifting plate 500 is set along the height direction.

[0058] The adjusting mechanism is installed on the lifting plate 500 , and includes: a cylinder 610 , a rotary driver 620 , a linear driver 630 , a transmission rod 640 , a transmission sleeve 650 , a transmission gear 660 and a rotating seat 670 .

[0059] The cylinder 610 is a hollow structure, and both ends of the cylinder 610 are closed structures.

[0060] The linear driver 630 is fixedly installed at one end of the cylinder 610 , and the transmission rod 640 is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving part of the linear driver 630 .

[0061] The transmission sleeve 650 is sleeved on the transmission rod 640. Along the circumferential direction of the transmission rod 640, the transmission sleeve 650 is fixedly matched with the transmission rod 640. Along the axial direction of the transmission rod 640, the transmission sleeve 650 is slidingly matched with the transmission rod 640. The transmission sleeve 650 is installed in the cylinder 610. Along the circumferential direction of the cylinder 610, the transmission sleeve 650 is rotationally matched with the cylinder 610. Along the axial direction of the cylinder 610, the transmission sleeve 650 is fixedly matched with the cylinder 610.

[0062] The other end of the transmission rod 640 is coaxially fixedly connected to the driving part of the rotary driver 620, and the rotary driver 620 is installed in the cylinder 610. Along the circumference of the cylinder 610, the rotary driver 620 is fixedly matched with the cylinder 610. Along the axial direction of the cylinder 610, the rotary driver 620 is slidably matched with the cylinder 610.

[0063] An elastic member 680 is abutted between one end of the rotary driver 620 away from the transmission rod 640 and the end wall of the cylinder 610 .

[0064] The cylinder 610 is arranged along the height direction. The transmission gear 660 and the rotating seat 670 are both rotatably mounted on the lifting plate 500 , and the cylinder 610 is provided with a notch 611 for making way for the transmission gear 660 and the rotating seat 670 . The visualization module 200 is mounted on the rotating seat 670 .

[0065] The surface of the transmission rod 640 is provided with grooves 641, which are evenly spaced along the axial direction of the transmission rod 640, and the teeth of the transmission gear 660 are matched with the grooves 641. The transmission sleeve 650 has an external thread (not shown in the figure), and the rotating seat 670 has an external gear ring (not shown in the figure), and the transmission sleeve 650 and the rotating seat 670 are matched in transmission.

[0066] The moving seat 400 is provided with a second rack (not shown in the figure) arranged along the height direction, and the transmission gear 660 is meshed with the second rack.

[0067] Specifically, the rotary driver 620 is a servo motor, the linear driver 630 is a cylinder assembly, and the elastic member 680 is a spring. The groove 641 is an annular groove, which is formed by the surface of the transmission rod 640 being recessed along its radial direction, and the groove 641 extends in an annular shape along the circumference of the transmission rod 640.

[0069] During use, the rotary driver 620 drives the transmission rod 640 to rotate, which can drive the transmission sleeve 650 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating seat 670 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the visualization module 200. In addition, by using the linear driver 630 to push the transmission rod 640, the rotary driver 620 can elastically compress the elastic member 680, and the transmission rod 640 can use its groove 641 to drive the transmission gear 660 to rotate, so that the transmission gear 660 moves along the second rack, so that the lifting plate 500 is lifted and lowered along the moving seat 400.

[0070] After the linear driver 630 pulls the transmission rod 640 to reset, the lifting plate 500 can also be reset, and the elastic member 680 can also auxiliaryly push the rotary driver 620 to reset.

[0071] Through the above design, the direction of the camera can be flexibly adjusted, making it easier to fully observe and control the production line.

[0072] Furthermore, a first baffle 612 and a second baffle 613 are disposed in the cylinder 610 . The first baffle 612 and the second baffle 613 are disposed at both ends of the transmission sleeve 650 and fit with the end of the transmission sleeve 650 . The transmission sleeve 650 can rotatably cooperate with the first baffle 612 and the second baffle 613 .

[0073] The first baffle 612 and the second baffle 613 can not only limit the transmission sleeve 650 , but also stop the rotary driver 620 to prevent it from getting too close to the transmission sleeve 650 .

[0074] In summary, the comprehensive management and control system for industrial automation control provided by the embodiment of the present invention can conveniently and efficiently carry out comprehensive management and control of the production status of the automated production line, has high safety and strong operability, and can also effectively reduce the cost of manual management and control.

For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
