Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electronic equipment protection, and in particular relates to a protection device based on a PCB board with a front panel. Background Art

[0002] For existing PCB boards with panels, almost all of them are only sprayed with conformal coating on the board surface without any additional protective measures. After the panel is installed, the final product is formed. There is no structural form that can meet ergonomics, lightweight modules and protect the components on the board at the same time.

[0003] At present, for PCB boards with panels, some existing solutions use large protective covers made of materials such as steel plates, aluminum alloy plates, etc. to protect the entire PCB board. Although this method can effectively protect the components on the PCB board from external damage, it will cause the module to be relatively large and relatively bulky overall, which is not conducive to the operator's grasping and operation, and is not convenient for transportation, and is not ergonomic. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present invention aims at the deficiencies in the prior art and provides a PCB board protection device with a front panel, characterized in that the device comprises: a front panel, a PCB board, a gripping rod and a back protection cover.

[0005] Furthermore, the hand gripping rod is a handle structure, and has threads at both ends;

[0006] The size of the back protective cover is consistent with the size of the PCB board.

[0007] Furthermore, the hand gripping rod is made of high-strength and high-rigidity material;

[0008] The material of the back protective cover is polycarbonate.

[0009] Furthermore, the material of the gripping rod is stainless steel.

[0010] Furthermore, it is characterized in that

[0011] The front panel is aligned and connected with the PCB board;

[0012] Use screws and nuts to install the back protective cover to the back of the PCB board;

[0013] Place the gripper on the corresponding position on the front of the PCB board, and use the screws that pass through the PCB board to rotate and connect with the internal threads at both ends of the gripper to fix it on the front of the PCB board.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0015] 1. The present invention provides a protective device for a PCB board with a front panel, which has a simple structural form, is easy to assemble and disassemble, and meets the requirements of lightweight design.

[0016] 2. The design of the handle bar conforms to ergonomics, making it more labor-saving for operators during insertion, extraction, and handling, thus improving work efficiency; the use of the back protection cover (4) enhances the safety and reliability of the PCB board during transportation and installation, reducing the risk of component damage.
