Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0029] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0030] This embodiment provides a single-board pulling device, including: sensors disposed at both ends of the panel substrate of the single board, a transmission structure, and a pulling structure.

[0031] Sensors are used to detect the relative position of the single board and the single board slot in the insertion box;

[0032] The transmission structure includes a motor and a rotating shaft.

[0033] The motor is used to rotate when the single board and the single board slot of the insertion box are in a predetermined position, and to drive the rotating shaft to rotate; the rotating shaft is used to drive the lifting structure connected to the rotating shaft to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0034] The side of the lifting structure includes a protrusion that moves along the single-board slot of the insertion box during the rotation of the lifting structure to insert the single board into the single-board slot of the insertion box.

[0035] In this embodiment, when the sensor detects that the relative position between the single board and the single board slot of the insertion box is a predetermined position, the motor is controlled to rotate. The rotation of the motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, and the rotating shaft drives the pulling structure to rotate. During the rotation of the pulling structure, the protrusion of the pulling structure moves along the single board slot of the insertion box, thereby fixing the single board on the single board slot.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment, the single board further includes: a drive wheel connected to a motor, which drives a driven wheel to rotate via a track; a track for connecting the drive wheel and the driven wheel; and a driven wheel connected to a rotating shaft, which drives the rotating shaft to rotate under the drive of the drive wheel.

[0037] In one exemplary embodiment, the single-board lifting device further includes a gear set, which is connected to a motor and a rotating shaft, and is used to drive the rotating shaft to rotate under the drive of the motor.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment, the sensor is further configured to detect the distance from the board slot of the insert box to the sensor; if the distance is the same as a predetermined distance, the relative position of the board slot of the insert box and the board is determined to be a predetermined position.

[0039] In one exemplary embodiment, the protrusion is a cylindrical protrusion, a circular arc-shaped protrusion, a ball-bearing dome protrusion, or a roller cylindrical protrusion.

[0040] In one exemplary embodiment, the width of the single-board slot decreases from the beginning to the end.

[0041] In one exemplary embodiment, the pulling structure is a cross-shaped or T-shaped structure.

[0042] In one exemplary embodiment, the pulling structure includes protrusions on both sides.

[0043] In one exemplary embodiment, both sides of the single board include a pull-out structure.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, the board further includes a switch for controlling the motor to rotate in the reverse direction when pressed after the motor has stopped rotating, until the board is separated from the socket.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, the overall structure of the single-board lifting device can be as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the device includes: a faceplate 200, a button 211, a panel base 213, and a first end 215 and a second end 217 of a single board. Taking the structure of the first end 215 of the single board as an example, the first end 215 of the single board may include the following components: a closure 100, a motor 102, a high reduction ratio reduction gear assembly 103, a transmission wheel 104, a transmission track 105, a driven wheel 106, a rotating shaft 107, and a lifting structure (hereinafter referred to as the lifting structure) 108 with protrusions on both sides. The connection relationship of the above components can be as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0046] In addition, a proximity sensor 301 is also included on the back of one end of the board, the position of which can be as follows: Figure 3 As shown.

[0047] Optionally, in this embodiment, the protrusions at both ends of the aforementioned pull-out structure can be, but are not limited to, rolling structures, such as ball bearings at the arc apex. Furthermore, the pull-out structure 108 can, but is not limited to, rotate around the shaft by a micro motor driving a micro high-reduction ratio reduction gear assembly 103 to output torque. When a board needs to be installed in a board slot, the proximity sensor 301 on the corresponding side will trigger a command to rotate the pull-out structure 108 towards the mounting slot.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, the aforementioned pull-out structure 108 can be mounted via a figure-eight mounting slot that is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, such as... Figure 4 The structure shown is as follows. During the rotation of the aforementioned lifting structure 108, the vertical and horizontal positioning is guided by force transmission, and a reverse force is applied to the single board to achieve automatic inward installation of the single board.

[0049] The specific operation process can be as follows: when the lifting structure 108 rotates to its limit position, the motor 102 senses the torque limit and engages the brake, at which point the lifting structure 108 will be locked. Figure 5 The left-hand diagram shows the pull-out structure 108 in its automatic insertion and locking state. A magnified view of part III within the circular frame in the left-hand diagram is shown in its lower right corner. During this process, automatic board installation, positioning, and locking are achieved. When the board needs to be pulled out, pressing button 211 reverses the motor 102 and the pull-out structure 108. The protrusion on the pull-out structure 108 moves from the narrowest part of the V-shaped slot to the widest part and unlocks. The pull-out structure 108 rotates in the opposite direction, and the other end of the pull-out structure 108 moves to the pull-out position with the frame. Through the force transmitted by the motor 102 and the high-reduction ratio reduction gear assembly 103, the board is pulled out. Figure 5 The right side of the image shows the pull-out structure 108 in an automatic pull-out state. The enlarged part of part IV within the circular frame in the right side image is shown in its lower right corner.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 The structure shown is used to fully illustrate the embodiments of this application:

[0051] When a single-board module needs to be inserted into the single-board slot of the insertion box, the proximity sensor 301 senses that the insertion box is close to the panel (e.g., Figure 2 The diagram includes a panel substrate 213 and a faceplate 200, and sends a command to a motor 102; the motor 102 starts to rotate, driving the high reduction ratio reduction gear assembly 103 to give the transmission wheel 104 output torque. The transmission wheel 104 drives the driven wheel 106 to rotate through the transmission track 105; the driven wheel 106 is fixed to the rotating shaft 107, and the lifting structure 108 with protrusions on both sides is fixed on the rotating shaft 107.

[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, the pull-out structure 108 with protrusions on both sides rotates in the locking direction under the action of torque. During the rotation, it is guided by the side walls (hereinafter referred to as side walls) 602 with draft angles on both sides and the guide rail 603 on the side walls, which is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside and consists of two circular segments in a figure-eight shape, and the protrusions on the pull-out structure with protrusions on both sides, so as to accurately guide the single board into the predetermined position. When the limit position is reached, the protrusions on both sides of the pull-out structure 108 and one end of the pull-out structure 108 touch the bottom, and a torque is fed back to the motor 102 in the opposite direction. The motor 102 then engages the brake, the single board module is locked, and the insertion is completed automatically.

[0053] When it is necessary to pull the single board module out of the single board slot, press button 211. The motor 102 receives the command and starts to rotate in the opposite direction. The pull-out structure 108 with protrusions on both sides disengages from the slot 601, which is wider on the outside and narrower on the inside, under the action of torque, and continues to rotate. When it rotates to another direction, it interacts with the frame through the obtained torque, and applies a pull-out force to the single board. The single board is then automatically pulled out.
