[0052] The following is a diagram of the embodiment of the present application. Figures 1 to 10 , clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0053] With the continuous expansion of application scenarios of industrial control products, the requirements for the compactness, installation convenience, scalability and overall aesthetics of industrial control modules are becoming increasingly higher.

[0054] In some embodiments, the installation of the base often relies on rails or screws. When using rail installation, not only does the base need to be equipped with special rail clips, but the rails also need to be installed separately, which complicates the overall installation process and increases assembly time and labor costs. Screw installation usually requires the provision of an extended edge on the side of the base for fixing, which not only takes up a large amount of installation space, but the exposed screws not only affect the overall appearance of the equipment, but also easily accumulate dust, reducing equipment reliability. In addition, the screws are easy to fall off during the installation process, further leading to low installation efficiency.

[0055] In other embodiments, the base is adapted for module installation and is often provided with a relatively large installation groove, which results in an excessively large gap between the modules. This causes the area of ​​the base on the opposite side of the base and the module to be much larger than the area of ​​the module, severely reducing space utilization and making it difficult to meet the requirements of compact equipment for miniaturization and high-density integration.

[0056] In some other embodiments, the base design has poor scalability, and bases with different functional slots often need to be customized separately. As product functions become more diverse, the mold opening cost will increase exponentially, which is not conducive to rapid product iteration and cost control.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the control module is mostly installed using upper and lower double screws. During the installation process, the screws need to be aligned and tightened multiple times. The operation steps are cumbersome, resulting in low installation efficiency and unable to meet the needs of rapid assembly in industrial production.

[0058] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application proposes a control module to solve at least one of the above technical problems.

[0059] See also Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an industrial control device proposed in an embodiment of the present application. This application provides an industrial control device, comprising a control module 1 and a base 2. Industrial control functions can be implemented by connecting the control module 1 and the base 2. The industrial control device proposed in this application can be used to meet the needs of various industrial application scenarios, and is applicable to, but not limited to, industrial control systems in scenarios such as industrial control cabinets and automated production lines.

[0060] See also Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an installation structure of the industrial control device proposed in an embodiment of the present application.

[0061] An embodiment of the present application provides an industrial control device, which includes: a control module 1, a base 2 and an installation mechanism 3, wherein the control module 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11; the base 2 is provided with a connecting mating portion 21, which is connected to the connecting portion 11 through the connecting mating portion 21 to electrically connect the control module 1 to the base 2; the installation mechanism 3 includes a snap-fit ​​component 31 and a fastening component 32, which is matched with the fastening component 32 to ensure that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected.

[0062] It should be understood that the control module 1 is the core component of the industrial control device, responsible for executing control tasks. In this application, the control module 1 typically includes electronic components and circuits for performing specific control tasks. Through an electrical connection with the base 2, the control module 1 receives power, signals, or data, enabling communication and coordination with other system components.

[0063] Control module 1 is provided with a connection portion 11, which can be a plug, socket, or other electrical connector. This connection portion 11 ensures electrical connection with a mating portion 21 of base 2. Mating portion 21 can be a slot, pin, or other form of electrical connector, ensuring stable transmission of electrical signals and power between control module 1 and base 2. Furthermore, a snap-fit ​​assembly 31 within mounting mechanism 3 allows for quick connection and securement of control module 1, allowing for easy installation on base 2. Fastening assembly 32 within mounting mechanism 3 provides additional support, ensuring that control module 1 does not loosen during long-term use.

[0064] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown. Exemplarily, the installation process of the control module 1 and the base 2 can be: first, the control module 1 and the base 2 are pre-fixed based on the snap-fit ​​assembly 31 in the installation mechanism 3. Then, based on the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​assembly 31, the connection portion 11 of the control module 1 is electrically connected to the connection matching portion 21 of the base 2, so that the relative surfaces of the control module 1 and the base 2 are in contact with each other. At this time, the electrical connection between the connection portion 11 and the connection matching portion 21 is completed, and finally the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 is further reinforced by the fastening assembly 32 in the installation mechanism 3, so that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected. It can be understood that during the installation process of the control module 1 and the base 2, it is only necessary to operate on the two opposite sides of the control module 1 and the base 2. The entire installation process does not require operations on multiple sides of the control module 1, which greatly simplifies the installation steps.

[0065] Through the above technical solution, in the present application, the control module 1 is provided with a connecting portion 11, and the base 2 is provided with a connecting matching portion 21, and electrical connection is achieved through the connection between the two. And by adopting a combination of a snap-on assembly 31 and a fastening assembly 32, the snap-on assembly 31 provides a quick installation function, while the fastening assembly 32 ensures the stability and safety of the connection, so that the control module 1 and the base 2 can be quickly and firmly connected. The complex operation that requires repeated adjustment of the electrical connection and the mechanical fixed position is reduced, the installation process is simplified, and the installation efficiency is improved. In addition, the present application ensures that the relative surfaces of the control module 1 and the base 2 are tightly fitted while achieving electrical connection between the connecting portion 11 and the connecting matching portion 21 through the synergistic effect of the snap-on assembly 31 and the fastening assembly 32, thereby saving installation space, making the overall space utilization high, and making the front appearance neat and tidy, ensuring the dust-proof effect.

[0066] See also Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the industrial control device proposed in an embodiment of the present application from another perspective.

[0067] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​assembly 31 includes a snap-fit ​​member 311 connected to the control module 1 , which is snap-fitted to the edge of the base 2 to pre-position the relative positions of the control module 1 and the base 2 .

[0068] It should be understood that the engaging member 311 can be a hook-shaped structure, a clamping structure, or other form of mechanical connector. When the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the engaging member 311 can be provided on a surface of the control module 1 that is close to the base 2. This allows the engaging member 311 to engage the edge of the base 2 during the connection process, thereby pre-positioning the control module 1 relative to the base 2. This allows the control module 1 to be quickly and accurately positioned in the correct position.

[0069] It should be noted that the engaging member 311 can be a hook structure, a clamping structure or other forms of mechanical connectors, which can be set according to the actual implementation requirements, and can be connected to the edge of the base 2 to pre-position the relative position of the control module 1 and the base 2.

[0070] For example, the process of engaging the engaging member 311 with the edge of the base 2 can be as follows: first, align the engaging member 311 provided on the control module 1 with the edge of the base 2. Then, the control module 1 is moved to drive the engaging member 311 to move. Based on the structure of the engaging member 311, the edge of the base 2 is inserted between the engaging member 311 and the control module 1, thereby engaging the engaging member 311 with the edge of the base 2, providing preliminary mechanical fixation.

[0071] It can be understood that during the snap-in process, the pre-positioning based on the snap-in member 311 reduces the need for position adjustment during the installation process, thereby reducing the complex operation of repeated adjustment of the electrical connection and mechanical fixed position, simplifying the installation process and improving installation efficiency.

[0072] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 31 further includes a protruding member 312 connected to the edge of the base 2 , and the protruding member 312 cooperates with the clamping member 311 to guide the clamping member 311 to clamp with the edge of the base 2 .

[0073] It should be understood that the protrusion 312 is connected to the edge of the base 2. The main function of the protrusion 312 is to position and guide the engaging member 311, thereby guiding the engaging member 311 to engage with the edge of the base 2. Specifically, the protrusion 312 is provided on the edge of the base 2 at a position that mates with the engaging member 311. Therefore, during the connection process between the control module 1 and the base 2, the protrusion 312 and the engaging member 311 guide the engaging member 311 to engage with the edge of the base 2.

[0074] It should be noted that the protruding member 312 is usually designed as a protruding guide structure, such as a guide column, a guide block or other shapes, so as to cooperate with the corresponding structure of the engaging member 311.

[0075] Exemplarily, the process of guiding the engaging member 311 to engage with the edge of the base 2 by the guiding cooperation of the protrusion 312 and the engaging member 311 can be as follows: first, align the engaging member 311 provided on the control module 1 with the protrusion 312 corresponding to the edge of the base 2, and then move the control module 1 to drive the engaging member 311 to move, and move the engaging member 311 based on the positioning guide of the protrusion 312, so that the edge of the base 2 is embedded between the engaging member 311 and the control module 1, thereby enabling the engaging member 311 to engage with the edge of the base 2.

[0076] As will be appreciated, during the engagement process, the protrusion 312 ensures that the engaging member 311 is correctly guided to the engaging position on the edge of the base 2 during the sliding process. During the guidance process, the guiding cooperation between the protrusion 312 and the engaging member 311 ensures that the relative position of the control module 1 is accurately positioned, reducing the need for position adjustment during installation.

[0077] In some embodiments, the number of the engaging member 311 can be one, and the number of the protrusion 312 can be one. That is, the control module 1 is provided with a single engaging member 311, and the protrusion 312 is provided on the edge of the base 2 at a position corresponding to the engaging member 311 on the control module 1. Furthermore, during the process of engaging the engaging member 311 and the edge of the base 2, the engaging member 311 and the protrusion 312 can slide in contact with each other, so that the control module 1 drives the engaging member 311 to move vertically along the edge of the protrusion 312, so that the edge of the base 2 is embedded between the engaging member 311 and the control module 1, thereby engaging the engaging member 311 and the edge of the base 2. It can be seen that during the process of engaging and sliding with each other, the two opposing surfaces of the engaging member 311 and the protrusion 312 are in contact with each other, and the protrusion 312 acts as a positioning guide, ensuring that the connection position of the control module 1 and the base 2 is accurately positioned.

[0078] In other embodiments, the number of the engaging member 311 can be one, and the number of the protruding members 312 can be two. That is, one engaging member 311 is provided on the control module 1, and two protruding members 312 are provided on the edge of the base 2 at positions corresponding to the engaging member 311 on the control module 1. It should be noted that there is a gap between the two protruding members 312 on the edge of the base 2, and the gap is larger than the width of the engaging member 311, that is, the engaging member 311 can be smoothly embedded in the gap between the two protruding members 312 to achieve a stable engagement with the edge of the base 2. During the engagement of the engaging member 311 with the edge of the base 2: first, the engaging member 311 is aligned with the gap between the two protruding members 312. Since a margin is reserved in the gap width, the engaging member 311 can be inserted without hindrance. Then, the movement of the control module 1 drives the engaging member 311 within the gap between the two protrusions 312, so that the edge of the base 2 is embedded between the engaging member 311 and the control module 1. This allows the engaging member 311 to engage the edge of the base 2, and the two protrusions 312 to form a limiting constraint. The two protrusions 312 clamp the engaging member 311 from both sides, ensuring the stability of the connection and the anti-slip performance.

[0079] like Figure 3As shown, in some other embodiments, the number of engaging members 311 can be two, and the number of protrusions 312 can be one. That is, the control module 1 is provided with two engaging members 311, and a protrusion 312 is provided on the edge of the base 2 at a position corresponding to the engaging members 311 on the control module 1. It should be noted that there is a gap between the two engaging members 311 on the control module 1, and this gap is larger than the width of the protrusion 312, that is, the protrusion 312 can smoothly fit into the gap between the two engaging members 311. It should also be noted that the two engaging members 311 need to be arranged in the same horizontal direction on one side of the control module 1 to ensure symmetry and stability when the engaging members 311 are engaged with the edge of the base 2. During the engagement process of the engaging members 311 and the edge of the base 2: first, the protrusion 312 is inserted into the gap between the two engaging members 311. Due to the reserved margin in the gap width, the protrusion 312 can be inserted into the gap between the two engaging members 311 without hindrance. Then, the movement of the control module 1 causes the two engaging members 311 to move on either side of the protrusion 312, so that the edge of the base 2 is inserted between the engaging members 311 and the control module 1, thereby engaging the engaging members 311 with the edge of the base 2. The two engaging members 311 clamp the protrusion 312 from both sides, ensuring the stability and anti-detachment performance of the connection, and allowing the control module 1 and the base 2 to be quickly pre-positioned.

[0080] Taking the example that the number of the engaging members 311 can be two and the number of the protrusions 312 can be one, the installation process of the control module 1 and the base 2 can be as follows: first, tilt the control module 1 upward so that the gap between the two engaging members 311 is aligned with the protrusions 312 on the base 2, move the control module 1 to drive the engaging members 311 toward the base 2, and completely place the two engaging members 311 on the edge of the base 2. Then, based on the two engaging members 311 clamping the protrusions 312, the control module 1 can be rotated with the position of the protrusions 312 as the fixed point until it is in contact with the base 2, at which point the electrical connection between the connecting portion 11 and the connecting mating portion 21 is completed. Finally, the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 is further reinforced by the fastening assembly 32 in the mounting mechanism 3, so that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected. It should be noted that the positions of the protrusions 312 and the engaging members 311 in this application can be set based on the actual implementation plan, as long as the pre-positioning between the control module 1 and the base 2 is met. The protruding part 312 is connected to the upper edge of the base 2, and the engaging part 311 can be an "L"-shaped structure, so that the engaging part 311 can be completely placed on the edge of the base 2 to improve the stability of the connection.

[0081] Through the above technical solution, the guiding cooperation between the protrusion 312 and the engaging member 311 forces the control module 1 to align with the base 2 along a preset trajectory, eliminating assembly deviations. The pre-positioning of the engaging member 311 reduces the need for position adjustment during installation and simplifies the adjustment of the electrical connection and mechanical fixing position. This not only improves installation efficiency but also reduces the errors that may be caused by repeated adjustments. The "L"-shaped structural design of the engaging member 311 improves the stability of the connection, ensuring that the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 will not loosen during long-term use. This ensures a reliable connection between the control module 1 and the base 2, while simplifying the installation process and improving overall efficiency and stability.

[0082] In some embodiments, the fastening assembly 32 includes: a first fastener 321 and a first fastening hole 322, the first fastener 321 is arranged on the module, and the first fastening hole 322 is arranged on the base 2; the first fastener 321 cooperates with the first fastening hole 322 to connect the control module 1 to the base 2.

[0083] It should be understood that the first fastener 321 is a mechanical component for connection and can be a screw, bolt or other suitable fastener. Exemplarily, the first fastener 321 can be a captive stud, which is pre-set on the control module 1. The first fastening hole 322 is provided on the base 2, and the position is precisely designed to ensure perfect fit with the first fastener 321. The size and shape of the fastening hole should match the fastener to provide sufficient grip and stability. It should be noted that after the control module 1 and the base 2 are initially connected through the snap-fitting member 311 and the protruding member 312, so that the opposite sides of the control module 1 and the base 2 are in contact, ensure that the fastening components 32 on the control module 1 and the base 2 are aligned, so that the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 is further reinforced by the fastening component 32, so that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected.

[0084] It should be noted that when the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the protrusion 312 is connected to the upper edge of the base 2, the first fastening hole 322 is provided on the side of the base 2 facing the control module 1, near the lower edge, the engaging member 311 is provided on the upper end of the side of the control module 1 facing the base 2, corresponding to the protrusion 312, and the first fastening member 321 is provided on the lower end of the side of the control module 1 facing the base 2, corresponding to the first fastening hole 322. This ensures that both the upper and lower ends of the control module 1 and the base 2 are securely connected when connected, increasing the stability of the connection.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected, the control module 1 and the base 2 have opposite sides that fit together.

[0086] It should be understood that after the control module 1 and the base 2 are pre-fixed based on the snap-fit ​​component 31 in the installation mechanism 3, the position of the control module 1 is adjusted based on the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​component 31 so that the opposite sides of the control module 1 and the base 2 are in contact with each other. At this time, the electrical connection between the connecting part 11 and the connecting matching part 21 has been completed. Finally, the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 is further strengthened by the fastening component 32 in the installation mechanism 3 so that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected.

[0087] As you can understand, when the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the two opposing sides of the control module 1 and base 2 fit together, ensuring a gap-free connection. This close fit improves the overall structural stability of the device and reduces loosening or misalignment caused by vibration or external forces. Furthermore, the tightly fitting surface provides a good seal, preventing dust and moisture from entering the device and protecting the electronic components. Furthermore, the fitted design effectively absorbs and mitigates vibrations during operation, extending the device's service life.

[0089] In some embodiments, when there are multiple control modules 1, the base 2 has a connecting and matching portion 21 and a mounting mechanism 3 corresponding to each control module 1; wherein the multiple connecting and matching portions 21 are arranged along the first direction, each control module 1 is electrically connected to the corresponding connecting and matching portion 21 via the connecting portion 11, and each control module 1 is fixedly connected to the base 2 via the corresponding mounting mechanism 3, and the opposite sides of two adjacent control modules 1 are in contact with each other;

[0090] When all the control modules 1 are connected to the base 2 , the orthographic projection areas of all the control modules 1 on the base 2 completely cover the base 2 .

[0091] It should be understood that if there are multiple control modules 1, the base 2 may be provided with a corresponding connecting portion 21 for each control module 1. These connecting portions 21 are arranged along the first direction X. The connecting portion 11 of each control module 1 is electrically connected to the corresponding connecting portion 21 to ensure stable signal and power transmission. Accordingly, the device is also provided with a mounting mechanism 3 corresponding to each control module 1. That is, each control module 1 is fixedly connected to the base 2 via the corresponding mounting mechanism 3, thereby achieving mechanical fixation between the module and the base 2.

[0092] It should also be understood that the connecting and fitting parts 21 are arranged along the first direction X, so that the multiple control modules 1 are arranged along the first direction X. Among them, the relative sides of two adjacent control modules 1 are designed to fit tightly, reduce the gap, improve the stability of the overall structure, and make the overall layout compact and orderly. In addition, when all the control modules 1 are connected to the base 2, the positive projection area of ​​​​all the control modules 1 on the base 2 completely covers the base 2. This design ensures that every part of the base 2 is covered by the module, optimizes space utilization, and provides a good sealing effect. It should be noted that the connection process between each control module 1 and the base 2 can refer to the description in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0093] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the figure shows a base 2 with seven control modules 1. This means that the base 2 can accommodate up to seven control modules 1. The base 2 is provided with seven connecting and mating portions 21, corresponding to the connecting portions 11 of the seven control modules 1. When all seven control modules 1 are installed on the base 2, the control modules 1 completely obscure the base 2 when viewed from the front, leaving no gaps between the modules. This creates a neat overall appearance and high space utilization.

[0094] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, Figure 6 Another structural diagram of an industrial control device proposed in an embodiment of the present application having multiple control modules 1; Figure 7 This is another structural diagram of an industrial control device proposed in an embodiment of the present application having multiple control modules 1. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a structure in which ten control modules 1 can be installed, as proposed in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an embodiment of the present application, which can accommodate thirteen control modules 1. The width of the base 2 can be adjusted according to the number of control module 1 components required, meeting the needs of various scenarios and enhancing application flexibility. It should be noted that the number of connecting and mating portions 21 included in the base 2 in the figure is schematic; the base 2 can form a different number of connecting and mating portions 21, and this application does not limit this.

[0095] It can be understood that the arrangement of the present application in a unified direction makes the connection structure between multiple control modules 1 and the base 2 more compact, effectively reducing the overall space occupied by the device, meeting the requirements of industrial control products for compact design, and also making the appearance of the device more regular and beautiful, and significantly enhancing the scalability of the system, allowing the module configuration to be flexibly increased or adjusted according to needs. In addition, based on the relative sides of two adjacent control modules 1 being fitted together, the control module 1 being fitted together with the base 2, and the positive projection area of ​​all control modules 1 on the base 2 completely covering the base 2, a stable overall structure is formed. This not only reduces loosening or misalignment caused by vibration or external force, but also improves the durability and reliability of the equipment. Moreover, the tightly fitting design provides a good sealing effect, preventing dust and moisture from entering the interior of the device, protecting electronic components from environmental influences, and extending the service life of the device. The regular module arrangement and fitting design not only enhance the functionality of the device, but also improve its appearance, making the product more attractive in industrial applications.

[0096] See also Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, Figure 8 A schematic structural diagram of the base 2 proposed in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of an exploded structure of the base 2 proposed in an embodiment of the present application.

[0097] In some embodiments, the base 2 includes: an upper cover plate 22, a lower cover plate 23 and a base board card 25, the upper cover plate 22 is provided with a through hole 221; the lower cover plate 23 is connected to the upper cover plate 22 and encloses a accommodating cavity 24, and the fastening assembly 32 passes through the upper cover plate 22 and the lower cover plate 23; the base board card 25 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 24, and the side of the base board card 25 facing the upper cover plate 22 is provided with a first terminal 251, the first terminal 251 and the through hole 221 together constitute a connecting mating part 21, and the first terminal 251 is electrically connected to the connecting part 11 through the through hole 221.

[0098] It should be understood that the base board 25 is a circuit board installed in the base 2 and is responsible for providing electrical connection and data support for the control module 1 .

[0099] It should also be understood that the first terminal 251 is a key component for achieving electrical connection between the base 2 and the control module 1. The base board 25 is connected to the connection portion 11 of the control module 1 through the first terminal 251 to achieve electrical connection. The first terminal 251 can adopt a variety of conductive connection structures. For example, the first terminal 251 can adopt but is not limited to a pinhole connector, a pin connector, or other connectors. The connection portion 11 on the control module 1 needs to match the first terminal 251 to achieve electrical connection. Furthermore, the through hole 221 of the present application matches the shape and size of the first terminal 251, so that the first terminal 251 can pass through the positioning hole 28 and connect to the connection portion 11 of the control module 1. It should be noted that the size of the through hole 221 and the distance between the base board 25 and the upper cover 22 also need to take into account that after the first terminal 251 is connected to the connection portion 11, the two opposite surfaces of the base 2 and the control module 1 need to be fitted together, thereby achieving sealing of the surface of the base 2 to prevent dust and liquid from invading the interior of the base 2.

[0100] It is also necessary to understand that the first fastening hole 322 passes through the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23, that is, both the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23 are provided with a first fastening hole 322. When the control module 1 and the base 2 are connected, the first fastener 321 passes through the first fastening hole 322 on the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23, so that the fastening assembly 32 passes through the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23, thereby further strengthening the connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 through the fastening assembly 32, so that the control module 1 and the base 2 are relatively fixedly connected.

[0101] It should be noted that the surface of the upper cover 22 facing the control module 1 is flat, so that when the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the upper cover 22 and the control module 1 on opposite sides fit together seamlessly. In addition, the raised member 312 can be connected to the upper edge of the upper cover 22 or the upper edge of the lower cover 23. Alternatively, part of the raised member 312 can be set on the upper edge of the upper cover 22 and the other part can be set on the upper edge of the lower cover 23, so that the upper and lower covers 23 form a complete raised member 312 after being connected. The first fastening hole 322 can be located near the bottom of the base 2, so that the upper and lower positions of the control module 1 and the base 2 are fixed. Furthermore, when the protrusion 312 is arranged on the upper part of the base 2 and the first fastening hole 322 is arranged on the lower part of the base 2, the locking member 311 is correspondingly arranged on the upper part of the control module 1, and the first fastener 321 is correspondingly arranged on the lower part of the control module 1, so that based on the cooperation between the locking member 311 and the protrusion 312, and the cooperation between the first fastener 321 and the first fastening hole 322, a stable connection between the control module 1 and the base 2 is achieved.

[0102] It should also be noted that the upper and lower sides of the lower cover 23 can adopt a stepped extension structure. The lower cover 23 has protruding edges 232 on the upper and lower sides. Therefore, after the upper and lower cover 23 are connected, the edge thickness of the base 2 is less than the thickness of the middle area of ​​the base 2, which facilitates the engagement of the locking member 311 with the edge of the base 2. When the protruding member 312 is connected to the upper edge of the lower cover 23, the protruding edge 232 on the upper part of the protruding member 312 is connected. In addition, the lower cover 23 forms a stepped surface 233 inside the accommodating cavity 24 based on the stepped structure. The lower cover 23 has stepped surfaces 233 on the upper and lower sides. The stepped surfaces 233 on the upper and lower sides can provide additional support and positioning functions, further fix the position of the base plate 25, and enhance the overall stability of the structure. Furthermore, when the upper and lower sides of the lower cover plate 23 can adopt a stepped extension structure, open openings will be generated on the left and right sides of the lower shell, and then the upper cover plate 22 of the base 2 can adopt a left and right extension structure, that is, there are extended baffles 223 on the left and right sides of the upper cover plate 22 of the base 2, which serve as baffles 223 for the openings on both sides of the lower cover plate 23. Furthermore, the upper cover plate 22 and the lower cover plate 23 can be fastened by screws on the front and left and right sides based on the protruding edge 232 and the baffle 223. Among them, the upper cover plate 22 is a left and right extension structure, which can be realized by extrusion profile mold processing. This processing method allows the production of lower shells of different lengths through a profile mold, thereby reducing processing costs. It should also be noted that in order to avoid confusion between the first fastening hole 322 on the base 2 and the threaded hole connecting the upper and lower cover plates 23, a circular mark can be added under the first fastening hole 322.

[0103] As will be appreciated, the base 2 of the present application comprises an upper cover 22, a lower cover 23, and a base card 25, forming a compact base 2. The upper cover 22 is provided with through-holes 221 to allow for electrical connections. The lower cover 23 is connected to the upper cover 22, enclosing a housing 24 that provides a secure installation space for the base card 25. Fasteners 32 extend through the upper and lower covers 22, 23, ensuring structural stability and durability.

[0104] In some embodiments, the base 2 also includes: a second fastener 26 and a positioning column 27; the positioning column 27 is connected to the lower cover 23, and the positioning column 27 has a second fastening hole 271 passing through it; the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22 are both provided with a positioning hole 28 corresponding to the positioning column 27, the positioning column 27 passes through the positioning holes 28 of the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22, and the side of the positioning column 27 away from the lower cover 23 does not exceed the surface of the upper cover 22 away from the lower cover 23, so that the lower cover 23, the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22 are relatively fixed; through the cooperation of the second fastener 26 and the second fastening hole 271, the second fastener 26 passes through the second fastening hole 271, and the base 2 is externally connected to the substrate, and the second fastener 26 does not exceed the surface of the upper cover 22 away from the lower cover 23.

[0105] It should be understood that one end of the positioning column 27 is connected to the lower cover 23 to ensure that it is firmly fixed in the base 2 structure. The other end of the positioning column 27 passes through the positioning holes 28 of the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22, so that the base plate 25 is fixed in position between the upper cover 22 and the lower cover 23. The side of the positioning column 27 away from the lower cover 23 does not exceed the surface of the upper cover 22 away from the lower cover 23, ensuring that the positioning column 27 does not protrude from the surface of the upper cover 22 to avoid affecting the appearance of the device and the installation of other components. Positioning holes 28 corresponding to the positioning columns 27 are provided on both the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22. The design of the positioning holes 28 ensures that the positioning column 27 can accurately pass through the base plate 25 and the upper cover 22, providing precise positioning and alignment functions.

[0106] It should also be understood that the second fastener 26 cooperates with the second fastening hole 271 on the positioning column 27 to ensure that the base 2 can be firmly connected to the substrate. The design of the second fastener 26 ensures that it does not exceed the surface of the upper cover 22 away from the lower cover 23, maintaining the overall flatness of the equipment. The entire base 2 can be installed to the desired position, such as the back panel inside the screen cabinet, through the second fastener 26. This design provides installation flexibility and adapts to different application scenarios. In addition, the second fastener 26 is set on the base 2 without taking up additional space, and after all control modules 1 are installed, their positive projection area completely covers the base 2, so that the second fastener 26 is hidden, improving the aesthetics and increasing the sealing.

[0107] It should be noted that the second fastener 26 can be a connection structure such as, but not limited to, a screw or bolt. Furthermore, the second fastening hole 271 in the positioning column 27 has internal threads that mate with the second fastener 26. For example, the second fastener 26 and the second fastening hole 271 in the positioning column 27 can be mated using a rivet sleeve with threads and an anti-slip screw. Furthermore, the connection assembly consisting of the positioning column 27, the second fastener 26, and the positioning hole 28 can be multiple, depending on the actual implementation requirements.

[0108] In some embodiments, the upper cover 22 is provided with a through slot 222; the base 2 also includes: a grounding piece 29, and the lower cover 23 has a grounding hole 231 at a position corresponding to the slot 222. The grounding piece 29 cooperates with the grounding hole 231 to connect the base 2 to the grounding grid, and the grounding piece 29 does not exceed the side of the upper cover 22 away from the lower cover 23.

[0109] As will be appreciated, the position on the lower cover 23 corresponding to the notch 222 is connected to the grounding grid via the grounding piece 29 and the grounding hole 231. Specifically, the position on the lower cover 23 corresponding to the notch 222 is provided with a sunken grounding block, which can be connected to the grounding grid via a wire to achieve grounding of the base 2. Furthermore, it should be noted that after installation, the height of the grounding piece 29 and the grounding hole 231 does not exceed the surface of the upper cover 22 facing the control module 1, to avoid affecting the appearance of the device and the installation of other components.

[0110] See also Figure 10 As shown, Figure 10 This is a structural diagram of the control module 1 proposed in an embodiment of the present application.

[0111] In some embodiments, the device further includes: a grounding spring 4 connected to the control module 1 . When the control module 1 is connected to the base 2 , the grounding spring 4 contacts the base 2 .

[0112] It should be noted that the control module 1 has a control board inside, and the connecting portion 11 is connected to the control board, so that when the connecting portion 11 is connected to the connecting mating portion 21, the control module 1 and the base 2 are electrically connected. A grounding spring 4 is connected to the internal control board on the control module 1 and protrudes from the surface of the control module 1, so that when the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the grounding spring 4 contacts the base 2. It should be noted that the grounding spring 4 has elastic properties and can have a curved or wavy structure. Therefore, when the control module 1 is connected to the base 2, the grounding spring 4 is pressed against the surface of the base 2, achieving equal potential between the module board and the base 2 without affecting the fit between the control module 1 and the base 2.

[0113] An embodiment of the present application provides an industrial control device, in which the base 2 is a frameless flat plate structure. A second fastener 26 is provided in the area of ​​the base 2 to fix the base 2 directly to the backplane without the need for an external mounting structure such as a guide rail. A protrusion 312 and a step structure are provided on the upper portion of the base 2, and a first fastening hole 322 is provided on the lower portion for positioning and installing the control module 1. The surface of the base 2 is flat without slot spacing and frames, which can eliminate the gap between adjacent control modules 1 and improve space utilization. The locking member 311 on the control module 1 is engaged with the edge of the base 2 through a claw structure, so that only one screw of the first fastener 321 is required to complete the installation, reducing the number of screws and improving the module assembly efficiency. After installation, the control module 1 can completely cover the base 2 and the screws on the base 2 from the front, making the appearance neat and ensuring dustproof effect. This application addresses the issues of traditional industrial equipment, such as cluttered appearance, rail-dependent installation, poor scalability, and low module assembly efficiency, by fully shielding the base 2 with control module 1, concealing screws on the base 2, simplifying the base 2's structure and making it easily expandable, and designing the claw structure of the engaging member 311 on the control module 1. It combines the advantages of streamlined structure, rapid assembly and disassembly, and high integration. Furthermore, it simplifies the installation process and improves installation and maintenance efficiency.
