[0042] In an optional embodiment, the mounting frame comprises a front connecting plate 11, a side plate 12, a first supporting plate group 13, a second supporting plate group 14 and a rear connecting plate 15.

[0043] The front connecting plate 11 is in a circular ring structure. The side plate 12 is in a long strip structure. The rear connecting plate 15 is in a circular plate structure. The front connecting plate 11, the side plate 12 and the rear connecting plate 15 are sequentially connected (welded or fixedly connected by screws) and enclose a cavity for enclosing the general control board 1 and the power supply supporting plate 2. The front connecting plate 11 is connected with the signal receiving module 3. The signal receiving connecting cable 8 is connected with the signal electric connector 24 on the general control board 1 through the middle part of the front connecting plate 11 (i.e. the middle part of the circular ring structure).

[0046] Figure 6 is a side view of the second supporting plate group 14 provided by the embodiment of the present application; Figure 7 is a bottom view of the second supporting plate group 14 provided by the embodiment of the present application; as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in the figures, the first supporting plate group 13 and the second supporting plate group 14 are arranged on the general control board 1.

[0047] Specifically, the first and second support plate groups 13 and 14 are made of non-metallic material, and are made of polyester glass fiber reinforced molding plastic by injection molding, or ABS resin or other materials. Further, since the first and second support plate groups 13 and 14 are injection molded parts, if threads are machined and connected to the mounting plate, the strength is not enough, therefore, the first and second support plate groups 13 and 14 are embedded with nuts 30 at the mounting position (i.e. the position mounted on the general control panel 1), and the mounting holes 29 are provided on the general control panel 1, the nuts 30 are passed through the mounting holes 29 to fix the first and second support plate groups 13 and 14 on the general control panel 1. The nuts 30 can enhance the strength and be repeatedly used, further, the nuts 30 are selected to ensure that they are not easy to fall out during use, and GB809 embedded round nuts can be selected.

[0048] Further, the first support plate group 13 is provided with two, one of which is located on one side of the whole group of signal processing modules 4, and the other is located on the other side of the whole group of signal processing modules 4; the second support plate group 14 is arranged between the two adjacent groups of signal processing modules 4.

[0049] For example: one first support plate group 13 is located on the left side of the first group of signal processing modules 4, and the other first support plate group 13 is located on the right side of the second group of signal processing modules 4; the second support plate group 14 is arranged between the first and second groups of signal processing modules 4.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, a module guide groove 18 is arranged on each side end of the housing 17; a plurality of guide rails 19 are arranged on the first support plate group 13 and close to one side end of the signal processing module 4; the module guide groove 18 is arranged to slide in the guide rail 19; a plurality of guide rails 19 are arranged on both side ends of the second support plate group 14, and the module guide groove 18 is arranged to slide in the guide rail 19.

[0051] For example, a first support plate group 13 is located on the left side of the first group of signal processing modules 4, and a plurality of guide rails 19 are arranged on the right side of the first support plate group 13. The number of guide rails 19 is set according to the number of signal processing modules 4 in the first group (for example, 5). Another first support plate group 13 is located on the right side of the second group of signal processing modules 4, and a plurality of guide rails 19 are arranged on the left side of the first support plate group 13. The number of guide rails 19 is set according to the number of signal processing modules 4 in the second group (for example, 5). The second support plate group 14 is located between the first group of signal processing modules 4 and the second group of signal processing modules 4, and a plurality of guide rails 19 are arranged on both ends of the second support plate group 14 (5 on the left side and 5 on the right side). That is, the first support plate group 13 has single-sided guide rails 19, and the second support plate group 14 has double-sided guide rails 19.

In this way, it is ensured that the signal processing module 4 can be stably fixed on the total control panel 1.

[0052] Further, the signal processing modules 4 in each group can be different in height, and only the positions of each guide rail 19 in the first support plate group 13 and the second support plate group 14 need to be set to different heights. This ensures that one guide rail 19 corresponds to one module guide groove 18. For example, the first support plate group 13 and the second support plate group 14 are designed in a convex shape, with the middle being high and the two sides being low. Correspondingly, the signal processing module 4 is also high in the middle and low on both sides.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the modular control host further comprises a knob 20. The knob 20 is used to fixedly connect the top of the shell 17 with the top of the first support plate group 13 and the second support plate group 14 when the module guide groove 18 of the shell 17 slides to the bottom of the guide rail 19 of the first support plate group 13 and the second support plate group 14. That is, the top of each signal processing module 4 is fixedly connected with the top of the first support plate group 13 and the second support plate group 14 through the knob 20.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a paint layer 28 of different colors is coated on the top surface of the first support plate group 13 near one end of the guide rail 19.

[0055] That is, different colors are coated on the top surface of the first support plate group 13 according to the needs of different signal processing modules 4, so that each signal processing module 4 can smoothly find its own position when installed on the total control panel 1, preventing the insertion of the wrong signal processing module 4 from damaging the pin of the second module electrical connector 9.

[0056] A handle 26 is arranged on the top of the shell 17 for lifting or lowering the shell 17. The end face of each handle 26 is painted with the same color as the corresponding position of the first support plate set 13, facilitating installation.

[0057] In an alternative embodiment, the first module electric connector 6 is fixed to the general control panel 1 through adjustable electric connector positioning pins 21.

[0058] An adjustable electric connector direction slot 22 is arranged at the bottom of the second module electric connector 9 for inserting the electric connector positioning pins 21 to connect the signal processing module 4 with the general control panel 1. That is, an adjustable electric connector direction slot 22 is arranged at the bottom of the mounting slot of the circuit board mounting slot 31 for inserting the electric connector positioning pins 21.

[0059] Different signal processing modules 4 are arranged with different electric connector positioning pin 21 directions to prevent misoperation or module damage caused by incorrect insertion of different signal processing modules 4.

[0060] In an alternative embodiment, a protection plate 23 is arranged at the bottom of the general control panel 1 to facilitate protection of the general control panel 1.

[0061] 5. A power module 5 is arranged with a second power electric connector. The second power electric connector is plugged with the first power electric connector 7. The first power electric connector 7 is connected with the general control panel 1 through a power connection cable 10.
