[0002] An industrial computer is an electronic computer, also known as a computer. A computer is a device that uses digital electronic technology to automatically perform any series of arithmetic or logical operations according to a series of instructions. General-purpose computers have the ability to follow a general set of operations called "programs", which enables them to perform an extremely wide range of tasks.

[0003] During transportation, the industrial computer needs to be equipped with an external protective device to achieve transportation stability and avoid damage to the computer's exterior caused by collision. In the prior art, the computer is often protected by transport cartons filled with foam. The protective ability is relatively weak. When a relatively hard object collides with the carton, the carton will be punctured, eventually causing damage to the computer body. At the same time, when it is transported to the destination, the carton is not easy to carry and move, and the operator needs to carry and operate it. This process will consume a lot of time and physical strength. At the same time, it is easy for the operator to drop it on the ground and cause serious damage.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-7 , an external protective device for an industrial computer comprises a placement box 1, wherein the placement box 1 is respectively provided with side panels 2, a top panel 5 and an end panel 7 on multiple sides, and the placement box 1 is fixed with fixed rods 3 on multiple outer walls, and the side panels 2, the top panel 5 and the side panels 7 are fixed with buffer rods 4, and the ends of the buffer rods 4 are provided with buffer grooves corresponding to the fixed rods 3, and the buffer rods 4 are elastically connected to the buffer grooves by buffer springs, and the outer walls of the buffer rods 4 slide through the limit rods 15 in the buffer grooves, and the limit rods 15 are connected to the buffer rods 4 through a reset mechanism, and the outer walls of the fixed rods 3 are provided with strip grooves corresponding to the limit rods 15, and the reset mechanism comprises a dragging block 16 fixedly arranged at the ends of the limit rods 15, and a reset spring 17 is elastically connected between the outer walls of the dragging block 16 and the outer walls of the fixed rods 3, and the elastic potential energy provided by the reset spring 17 can realize the extrusion of the limit rod 15 by means of the dragging block 16, so that the ends of the limit rods 15 are in the strip grooves, thereby realizing the restriction of the buffer rods 4.

[0032] A groove is provided on the side wall of the side plate 2, and a drag frame 8 is provided in the groove. Ejection grooves are provided on the outer walls on both sides of the drag frame 8. An ejection block 9 is provided in the ejection groove through an ejection mechanism. The ejection mechanism includes an ejection spring arranged in the ejection groove, and both ends of the ejection spring are elastically connected to the bottom wall of the ejection groove and the outer wall of the ejection block 9 respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the ejection spring can realize the extrusion of the ejection block 9, and it is squeezed into the insertion channel 11 when it moves to the insertion channel 11.

[0033] The inner walls on both sides of the groove are provided with movable grooves 10 corresponding to the ejection blocks 9, the side walls on both sides of the drag frame 8 are provided with insertion channels 11 corresponding to the ejection blocks 9 and connected to the groove, and the upper end surface of the drag frame 8 is provided with two movable grooves 12, and plug plates 13 are provided in the two movable grooves 12 through an extrusion mechanism. The inner walls on both sides of the groove are provided with insertion holes corresponding to the plug plates 13, and the extrusion mechanism includes an extrusion spring 14 arranged in the movable groove 12, and the two ends of the extrusion spring 14 are elastically connected to the outer wall of the plug plate 13 and the inner wall of the movable groove 12 respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the extrusion spring 14 can realize the extrusion of the plug plate 13, thereby ensuring that its end is in the insertion hole.

[0034] An opening is provided on the upper end face of the placement box 1, and two cover plates 24 are provided inside the placement box 1 through a rotating mechanism. The rotating mechanism includes rotating blocks fixedly arranged on the outer walls on both sides of the cover plates 24, and the ends of the rotating blocks are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the placement box 1. The cover plates 24 can be rotated inside the placement box 1 to open and close with the help of the rotating blocks.

[0035] The side walls of the two cover plates 24 are respectively provided with a compression groove 25 and a snap-fit ​​groove 27. A snap-fit ​​plate 26 corresponding to the snap-fit ​​groove 27 is provided in the compression groove 25 through a compression mechanism. The compression mechanism includes a compression spring 30 arranged in the compression groove 25. The two ends of the compression spring 30 are elastically connected to the inner wall of the compression groove 25 and the outer wall of the snap-fit ​​plate 26 respectively. The elastic potential energy provided by the compression spring 30 can realize the squeezing of the snap-fit ​​plate 26 so that its end is inserted into the snap-fit ​​groove 27, thereby realizing the closed connection of the two cover plates 24.

[0036] A shift opening 29 communicating with the compression groove 25 is disposed on the upper end surface of one of the cover plates 24 , and a shift block 28 fixedly connected to the end surface of the cover plate 24 is disposed in the shift opening 29 .

[0037] Two storage grooves are provided on the bottom wall of the placement box 1, and mounting rods 18 are fixedly provided in the two storage grooves. A gear ring 20 is rotatably provided on the outer wall of the mounting rod 18, and a moving wheel is provided on the outer wall of the gear ring 20 through an extension rod 19. Racks 21 meshing with the gear ring 20 are provided in the two storage grooves. A power chamber 22 is provided inside the bottom wall of the placement box 1, and a double-headed motor 23 is provided in the power chamber 22. The rack 21 is connected to the double-headed motor 23 through an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes a threaded rod fixedly connected to the ends of the output shafts at both ends of the double-headed motor 23, and the end of the rack 21 slides through the inner wall of the storage groove and extends into the power chamber 22. A threaded channel cooperating with the threaded rod is provided on the end of the rack 21. Starting the double-headed motor 23 can drive the threaded rod to rotate. When the threaded rod rotates, the rack 21 will move in the storage groove and drive the gear ring 20 meshing with it to rotate, thereby realizing the expansion of the moving wheel. The reversal of the double-headed motor 23 can realize the retraction of the moving wheel.

[0038] The bottom wall of the storage box 1 is provided with a protective pad, which is made of hard rubber. When the moving wheels are in the retracted state, the protective pad made of hard rubber can support the storage box 1, and the hard rubber material can play a role in buffering protection.

[0039] When the present invention is used, the computer body is placed inside the placement box 1, and when the two cover plates 24 are in a parallel state, the end of the clamping plate 26 is squeezed into the clamping groove 27 under the extrusion of the compression spring 30, so that the positions of the two cover plates 24 are stabilized and the position of the computer body can be limited. When the connection between the two needs to be released, the clamping plate 26 can be moved by the toggle block 28 to separate the end of the clamping plate 26 from the clamping groove 27;

[0040] The side panels 2, top panel 5 and end panel 7 protect the storage box 1 and the computer body in the box. When foreign objects hit the top panel 5 and the end panel 7, the elastic potential energy provided by the buffer spring can buffer the impact force (when the fixed rod 3 moves relative to the buffer rod 4, the limit rod 15 can move in the strip groove). At the same time, the top panel 5 and the end panel 7 can be quickly disassembled from the storage box 1 and can be replaced when they are deformed by impact. Specifically, the limit rod 15 is separated from the strip groove by the drag block 16. At this time, the connection between the fixed rod 3 and the buffer rod 4 is released, and the side panels 2, top panel 5 and the end panel 7 can be disassembled;

[0041] When the device as a whole reaches the destination, it needs to be dragged and moved. At this time, first, the plug plate 13 is toggled to separate it from the socket, and then the limit of the drag frame 8 is released, and then the drag frame 8 is lifted, driving the ejection block 9 to move up from the movable groove 10. When the ejection block 9 moves to cooperate with the insertion channel 11, the ejection block 9 is pushed into the insertion channel 11 under the action of the ejection spring. At this time, the bottom of the drag frame 8 is located in the middle of the groove, and the height of the entire drag frame 8 is raised (combined with ergonomics when dragging), and then the drag frame 8 is rotated to form an angle to facilitate the dragging and moving of the placement box 1;

[0042] The movement of the placement box 1 relies on the moving wheels, and the moving wheels rely on the extension rod 19 to achieve synchronous movement with the ring gear 20. Starting the double-headed motor 23 can drive the threaded rod to rotate. When the threaded rod rotates, the rack 21 will move in the storage groove and drive the ring gear 20 meshing with it to rotate, thereby realizing the expansion of the moving wheels. The double-headed motor 23 can be reversed to realize the retraction of the moving wheels. This design scheme enables the device to have deformation ability and has higher practicality.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
