Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of portable industrial computer technology, specifically a portable industrial computer with a ruggedized structure. Background Technology

[0002] Portable industrial computers are electronic devices that combine industrial-grade computing performance with portability.

[0003] In the application scenarios of portable industrial computers, the equipment often faces complex and ever-changing environmental conditions. When the outside of the computer case is subjected to a relatively strong impact, the device exposes a relatively obvious defect. Since the case is not equipped with a buffer mechanism, it cannot effectively buffer and disperse the impact force. In this case, the entire computer will be directly subjected to a large impact force. The impact force may cause the case to deform, which in turn will cause various precision components inside, such as circuit boards, chips, and storage modules, to be vibrated, causing their connections to become loose, circuits to be interrupted, or components to be damaged.

[0004] For example, solder joints on circuit boards may become cold or detached due to vibration, chips may suffer internal damage due to mechanical stress, and data storage areas of storage modules may experience data loss or read / write errors due to vibration. Ultimately, this greatly increases the risk of computer damage, reduces its reliability in practical applications, and makes it difficult to meet the requirements of high shock resistance for equipment in industrial environments. This deficiency highlights the urgent need for a better structural design to improve impact protection capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable industrial computer with a ruggedized structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a cabinet, with a display screen hinged to one side of the top of the cabinet, support plates provided on both sides of the interior of the cabinet, multiple sets of connecting columns provided on the outer side of the support plates, a telescopic groove provided in the middle of the connecting columns, a telescopic connecting column elastically connected in the telescopic groove, a reinforcing protective plate connected to the outer side of the telescopic connecting column, hinge shafts hinged on both sides of the inner end of the telescopic connecting column, a swing plate connected to the hinge shaft, and an expansion plate connected to the outer end of the swing plate.

[0007] Preferably, multiple sets of ventilation openings are simultaneously provided on the support plate, telescopic connecting column, and reinforced protective plate. The centers of the ventilation openings on the support plate, telescopic connecting column, and reinforced protective plate are parallel, allowing air to enter and exit the interior of the box through the ventilation openings. A filter screen is provided on the outer surface of the ventilation openings on the reinforced protective plate.

[0008] Preferably, the ventilation openings in the reinforced protective plate are equipped with cooling fans, which can deliver air into the housing through the ventilation openings, and the air in the housing can be discharged through ventilation openings without cooling fans.

[0009] Preferably, multiple sets of first springs are provided in the telescopic groove opened in the middle of the connecting column. The inner side of the first spring is connected to the inner outer perimeter of the connecting column, and the outer side of the first spring is connected to the telescopic connecting column. The compression reinforcement protective plate enables the telescopic connecting column to extend and retract in the telescopic groove opened in the middle of the connecting column.

[0010] Preferably, the inner end of the connecting column is hinged to both sides with hinge shafts, and the swing plate connected to the hinge shaft can expand outward of the connecting column through the extension and retraction of the swing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the outer bottom of the swing plate is connected to an expansion plate, and the bottom of the expansion plate is provided with rollers, which are in close contact with the outer surface of the support plate.

[0012] Preferably, the inner ends of the roller are connected to a third spring, the inner side of the third spring is connected to the outer surface of the connecting column, and the third spring can pull the expanded swing plate back to its original state through contraction force.

[0013] Preferably, the support plate has a cavity in the center, a second spring is provided at the bottom of the cavity, one end of the second spring is connected to the bottom inner wall of the cavity, and the top of the second spring is connected to the closing plate.

[0014] Preferably, the initial position of the sealing plate is set above the ventilation opening on the support plate, and the second spring in the cavity can drive the sealing plate to extend and retract.

[0015] Preferably, pressure bars are provided on both sides of the top of the enclosure plate. The pressure bars extend through through holes opened at both ends of the top of the enclosure plate. The frame of the display screen can press the pressure bars, so that the pressure bars press the enclosure plate.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention proposes a portable industrial computer with a reinforced structure. When the display screen is opened, the second spring at the bottom of the cavity in the middle of the support plate springs the sealing plate upwards under tension, opening the sealing plate to close the ventilation opening on the support plate. At the same time, the cooling fan in the ventilation opening of the reinforced protective plate is activated, sending cooling air into the cabinet. The hot air in the cabinet is discharged through the ventilation opening without a cooling fan, forming a cooling cycle and reducing the internal temperature of the cabinet during use.

[0017] When the cabinet is not in use, the display screen is covered. At this time, the bezel of the display screen is pressed against the pressure rods at both ends of the cabinet surface. The pressure rods press against the sealing plate, causing the sealing plate to move down and seal the ventilation openings on the support plate, preventing dust and impurities from entering the cabinet and falling on the electronic components inside.

[0018] When the two sides of the enclosure collide, the reinforced protective plates on both sides absorb the impact force and compress the first spring connected to the inner side of the telescopic connecting column inside the reinforced protective plate. This causes the telescopic connecting column to retract to a certain distance in the telescopic groove. At the same time as the telescopic connecting column retracts, it drives the swing plate connected to the hinge shaft on both sides of the inner end of the telescopic connecting column to swing and expand outward. The swing plate then drives the roller connected to the bottom of the expansion plate to slide on the outer surface of the support plate, converting the impact force into repeated expansion and contraction motion of the swing plate and the expansion plate. This keeps the impact force on the outside of the support plate and prevents the impact force from affecting the electronic components inside the enclosure. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Multiple sets of ventilation openings 9 are simultaneously provided on the support plate 3, the telescopic connecting column 7, and the reinforced protective plate 8. The centers of the ventilation openings 9 on the support plate 3, the telescopic connecting column 7, and the reinforced protective plate 8 are parallel, allowing air to enter and exit the interior of the housing 1 through the ventilation openings 9.

The sealing plate 14 opens to close the ventilation openings 9 on the support plate 3, and at the same time, by activating the cooling fan 11 in the ventilation openings 9 of the reinforced protective plate 8, the cooling fan 11 sends cooling air into the housing 1.

[0024] Multiple sets of first springs 6 are installed in the telescopic groove 5 in the middle of the connecting column 4. The inner side of the first spring 6 is connected to the inner outer perimeter of the connecting column 4, and the outer side of the first spring 6 is connected to the telescopic connecting column 7. The compression and reinforcement of the protective plate 8 can make the telescopic connecting column 7 extend and retract in the telescopic groove 5 in the middle of the connecting column 4. The inner end of the connecting column 4 is hinged to both sides of the hinge shaft 16. The swing plate 17 connected to the hinge shaft 16 can expand to the outside of the connecting column 4 through the extension and retraction of the swing plate 17. The bottom of the outer side of the swing plate 17 is connected to the expansion plate 18. The bottom of the expansion plate 18 is provided with a roller 19, which is in close contact with the outer surface of the support plate 3. The inner ends of the roller 19 are connected to the third spring 20. The inner side of the third spring 20 is connected to the outer surface of the connecting column 4. The third spring 20 can pull the expanded swing plate 17 back to its original position through the contraction force.

[0025] A cavity 12 is provided in the center of the support plate 3. A second spring 13 is provided at the bottom of the cavity 12.

Pressure rods 15 are provided on both sides of the top of the sealing plate 14. The pressure rods 15 extend through the through holes at both ends of the top of the housing 1. The frame of the display screen 2 can press the pressure rods 15, so that the pressure rods 15 press the sealing plate 14. The frame of the display screen 2 presses the pressure rods 15 at both ends of the surface of the housing 1, so that the pressure rods 15 press the sealing plate 14, causing the sealing plate 14 to move down and close the ventilation opening 9 on the support plate 3.

[0026] In actual use, when the cabinet 1 is used and the display screen 2 is opened, the second spring 13 at the bottom of the cavity 12 in the middle of the support plate 3 will lift the sealing plate 14 upward through tension, so that the sealing plate 14 opens to close the ventilation port 9 on the support plate 3. At the same time, the cooling fan 11 in the ventilation port 9 of the reinforced protective plate 8 is activated, so that the cooling fan 11 sends cooling air into the cabinet 1, while the hot air in the cabinet 1 is discharged through the ventilation port 9 without the cooling fan 11, forming a cooling cycle and reducing the temperature inside the cabinet 1 during use.

[0027] When the cabinet 1 is not in use, the display screen 2 is covered. At this time, the frame of the display screen 2 is pressed against the pressure rods 15 at both ends of the surface of the cabinet 1, so that the pressure rods 15 press against the sealing plate 14, causing the sealing plate 14 to move down and seal the ventilation opening 9 on the support plate 3, so as to prevent dust and impurities from entering the cabinet 1 and falling on the electronic components in the cabinet 1.

[0028] When the two sides of the housing 1 collide, the reinforced protective plates 8 on both sides of the housing 1 absorb the collision force and compress the first spring 6 connected to the inner side of the telescopic connecting column 7 inside the reinforced protective plate 8, causing the telescopic connecting column 7 to retract to a certain distance in the telescopic groove 5. While the telescopic connecting column 7 is retracting, it drives the swing plate 17 connected to the hinge shaft 16 on both sides of the inner end of the telescopic connecting column 7 to swing and expand outward. The swing plate 17 starts to drive the roller 19 connected to the bottom of the expansion plate 18 to slide on the outer surface of the support plate 3, converting the collision force into the repeated expansion and contraction motion of the swing plate 17 and the expansion plate 18, leaving the collision force on the outside of the support plate 3, and avoiding the collision force from affecting the electronic components inside the housing 1.
