[0037] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0039] Example: Refer to Figures 1 to 8 , an elevator controller that is easy to install, includes a frame 100 and a controller housing 200, the controller housing 200 further includes an outer display housing 201 and an inner component housing 202, the outer display housing 201 and the inner component housing 202 are integrally formed, and a step surface is formed between the connection between the outer display housing 201 and the inner component housing 202, the frame 100 is provided with a mounting slot 101 adapted to the controller housing 200, the area of ​​the outer display housing 201 is larger than the area of ​​the mounting slot 101, and the upper and lower ends of the controller housing 200 are symmetrically provided with a group of elastic clips 300, the elastic clips 300 are used to be clamped with the frame 100, and the clamping method can improve the efficiency of disassembly and assembly of the controller;

[0040] Among them, the elastic clip 300 has a V-shaped structure and is made of elastic metal material. The open ends of the two groups of elastic clips 300 are opposite to each other. The controller housing 200 is provided with a movable slot 203 for the elastic clip 300 to move relative to each other. The inner end of the elastic clip 300 is fixed on the controller housing 200 and its bent end protrudes from the inner component shell 202. A space for the rack 100 to be assembled is left between one end of its inclined surface and the controller housing 200. During installation, the controller housing 200 is first aligned with the mounting slot 101 on the rack 100, and then the controller housing 200 is squeezed into the rack 100. The groove wall of the mounting slot 101 squeezes the inclined edge of the elastic clip 300 so that the controller housing 200 is stuck into the rack 100. When removing the controller, it is only necessary to pull the controller housing 200 outward. Compared with the traditional installation method that requires the help of a base plate or a mounting frame, the structure is simpler and the operation is more convenient. It also saves the space and cost required for the use of the external structure, which is convenient for the maintenance of the controller.

[0041] Furthermore, the inner component shell 202 is fixed on the outer display shell 201 and the inner end is open, which is convenient for the installation of relevant components of the elevator controller. The inner component shell 202 is also equipped with a cover 205 that covers the open end of the inner component shell 202 and is adapted for the installation of components. The upper and lower ends of the inner component shell 202 have a pair of screw barrels, and the cover 205 is provided with holes corresponding to the screw barrels. The cover 205 is connected to the screw barrels by screws to realize the installation of the cover 205 and the inner component shell 202, wherein the middle part of the cover 205 has an opening for electrically connecting relevant components to the external control system.

[0042] Furthermore, each group of elastic clips 300 is provided with three, which improves the stability of the connection between the inner component shell 202 and the frame 100. The ends of the inner component shell 202 are equidistantly provided with inward protrusions 204, and the movable slots 203 correspond to the protrusions 204 and pass through the middle position of the protrusions 204, providing a guide for the elastic clips 300 when moving inward. The inner end of the elastic clips 300 is fixed on the outer display shell 201 and its top end protrudes from the movable slot 203. After the inner component shell 202 enters the frame 100, the multiple groups of elastic clips 300 are reset to abut the inner wall of the frame 100, thereby fixing the controller shell 200 on the frame 100.

[0043] Considering that in the present application, the controller housing 200 and the rack 100 are mounted in a snap-fit ​​manner, and the limiting member is mainly a V-shaped elastic clamp 300 made of an elastic metal material, in order to ensure convenient assembly and disassembly of the controller housing 200 and the rack 100 while further improving the stability of the connection between the controller housing 200 and the rack 100, a locking assembly 400 is further provided for locking the active state of the elastic clamp 300;

[0044] Specifically, the locking assembly 400 includes an electromagnetic component 401 installed in the component housing. The electromagnetic component 401 is electrically connected to the control power supply of the controller. Preferably, the electromagnetic component 401 is an electromagnet (an electromagnet is a device that uses electric current to generate a magnetic field. Its core principle is the magnetic effect of electric current. This is a conventional technical means and will not be described in detail here).

[0045] It also includes a pair of fixing members 402 slidably arranged at both ends of the electromagnetic member 401, and the ends of the fixing members 402 have a push rod 4022 opposite to the elastic clip 300. When the power is on (that is, after the controller housing 200 is installed on the frame 100), the electromagnetic member 401 drives the push rod 4022 on the fixing member 402 to abut against the elastic clip 300, so that the position of the elastic clip 300 is always in a locked state, that is, the elastic clip 300 cannot be squeezed and moved downward, thereby making the controller always stably installed on the frame 100, reducing the probability of the controller housing 200 loosening during long-term operation of the elevator and improving the stability of the controller.

[0046] Specifically, one side inside the inner component shell 202 has a mounting base 404 for installing the electromagnetic component 401, and the electromagnetic component 401 is installed in the middle position of the mounting base 404. The two ends of the mounting base 404 respectively have a slide groove 405, and a slider 406 is adapted to be provided in the slide groove 405, and the end of the slider 406 has a magnetic block 407 corresponding to the electromagnetic component 401. The fixing part 402 includes a bracket 4021 adapted to be installed with the slider 406, and the push rod 4022 is fixed to the end of the bracket 4021; when the electromagnetic component 401 is working, it is energized to generate a repulsive force, which correspondingly drives the magnetic block 407 to move outward with the slider 406, thereby causing the bracket 4021 and the push rod 4022 to move outward synchronously and abut against the elastic card 300.

[0047] Specifically, one side of the elastic card 300 has an inward-facing boss 301, and the outer end of the boss 301 has a stop plate 302, which corresponds to the stop rod 4022. When the stop rod 4022 contacts the bottom plate, the position of the elastic card 300 is fixed. When separated, the elastic card 300 can be squeezed downward by the controller housing 200.

[0048] Furthermore, two mounting seats 404 are provided and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the inner cavity of the inner component shell 202. The electromagnetic component 401 is installed on one of the mounting seats 404. Two corresponding brackets 4021 are provided and are respectively opposite to the corresponding mounting seats 404. A spring 403 is fixed between the magnetic block 407 and the corresponding mounting seat 404. The bracket 4021 provides a sliding guide for the two ends of the support rod 4022, so that the force between the two ends of the support rod 4022 is more uniform, thereby improving its stability during the sliding process.

[0049] Furthermore, considering that the outer display housing 201 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the rack 100 after installation and is inconvenient to remove during disassembly, an auxiliary disassembly component 500 is provided to assist in buckling off the controller housing 200 installed on the rack 100;

[0050] The first hinge column 502 and the second hinge column 503 are hingedly connected to each other by a connecting rod 504 which passes through the inner component shell 202. In the working state, the electromagnetic component 401 works to make the bracket 4021 and the supporting rod 4022 move upward, and the connecting rod 504 correspondingly moves the slider 501 toward the inner side of the outer display shell 201. When the controller needs to be disassembled, the electromagnetic component 401 is powered off in this state, and the bracket 4021 is reset under the action of the spring 403, thereby moving the slider 501 toward the outer side of the outer display shell 201 and protruding from the outer display shell 201, forming a convex edge (such as a convex edge) between the slider and the outer display shell 201 that can be pulled out or tilted by hand. Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), which makes it convenient for the staff to buckle down the controller housing 200. The structure is simple and ingenious, further improving the convenience of using the controller.

[0051] Furthermore, a receiving groove 206 is provided on the side of the outer display housing 201 to match the slide bar 501. The slide bar 501 is placed in the receiving groove 206 when working, and the outer side is consistent with the side of the outer display housing 201, thereby improving the appearance of the controller. A first displacement slot 207 is provided at each end of the receiving groove 206, and the first hinge column 502 is located in the first displacement slot 207. A second displacement slot 208 is provided on the inner component housing 202 for the movement of the connecting rod 504. The connecting rod 504 has a Z-shaped structure, and the outer end is located in the first displacement slot 207, thereby preventing the first hinge column 502 and the connecting rod 504 from protruding from the inner side surface of the outer display housing 201, thereby ensuring that the inner side surface of the outer display housing 201 is tightly attached to the frame 100 during installation.
