Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of industrial equipment technology, specifically to a magnetic splicing structure for a modular, reconfigurable industrial computer. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of industrial automation, industrial computers are being used more and more widely in manufacturing, intelligent control, and other fields. To adapt to the functional requirements of different industrial scenarios, modular and reconfigurable industrial computers, with their advantages of flexible configuration and easy maintenance, are gradually becoming the mainstream direction of industry development. The core requirement of such equipment is to achieve rapid assembly and stable fixation between functional modules and the main frame, while ensuring the heat dissipation efficiency of the equipment in complex industrial environments, so as to ensure operational stability and service life.

[0003] However, existing industrial computers using magnetic splicing structures generally suffer from insufficient adsorption stability. Most products rely solely on a single magnet for module fixation, which, in industrial production environments often involve vibration and impact, can easily lead to loosening or even detachment of functional modules from the main frame, affecting normal equipment operation. Some improved products attempt to add auxiliary fixing structures, but these are mostly manually operated reinforcement components, increasing the complexity of installation and disassembly, reducing the efficiency of modular reconfiguration, and making it difficult to achieve synchronous linkage between the reinforced and magnetic states. Furthermore, the heat dissipation design of existing products largely relies on the heat dissipation mechanisms of the functional modules themselves, with the main frame lacking active heat dissipation components. When multiple functional modules operate simultaneously, heat easily accumulates inside the main frame, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation efficiency, which in turn affects the operating performance and stability of the functional modules. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a magnetic splicing structure for modular and reconfigurable industrial computers. This solves the problem that most products rely on a single magnet to fix modules, which can easily lead to loosening or even detachment between functional modules and the main frame in industrial production environments where vibration and impact are common.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is implemented through the following technical solution: a modular reconfigurable industrial computer magnetic splicing structure, including a main frame, functional modules being detachably installed on the inner sidewall of the main frame via magnetic mounting components, a heat dissipation component being provided at the rear end of the main frame, and reinforcement components being provided at the four corners of the inner sidewall of the main frame. Magnetic mounting components are used to quickly install functional modules onto the inside of the main frame, facilitating modular disassembly. Heat dissipation components are used to actively dissipate heat from functional modules installed inside the main frame; The reinforcement component is used to provide secondary reinforcement to the location where the functional module is installed inside the main frame, and it is automatically released as the magnetic mounting component is opened and closed.

[0006] Preferably, the reinforcing component includes a slider, which is elastically connected to the inner sidewall of the bottom of the main frame via a return spring. Positioning holes are provided at each of the four corners of the functional module. A positioning pin is fixedly connected to the front end of the slider. An iron block is elastically connected to the inner sidewall of the positioning pin via a connecting spring. A connecting post is fixedly connected to the front end of the iron block. A connecting plate is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting post away from the iron block. A hinge rod is hinged to the inner sidewall of the connecting plate. A plug is hinged to the end of the hinge rod away from the connecting plate. A slot is provided on the inner sidewall of the positioning hole.

[0007] Preferably, the heat dissipation component includes a cooling fan, which is disposed on the rear end surface of the main frame. The surface of the main frame has a through-hole exhaust grille, and the position of the cooling fan corresponds to the exhaust grille.

[0008] Preferably, the magnetic mounting assembly includes an electromagnetic winding, a cavity is provided on the inner side of the main frame, the electromagnetic winding is electrically connected to the inner sidewall of the cavity of the main frame, and the surface of the main frame is provided with a rectangular array of neodymium iron boron strong magnets.

[0009] Preferably, one end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the bottom end of the main frame, and the other end of the reset spring is fixedly connected to the rear end of the slider.

[0010] Preferably, the inner sidewall of the main frame has a cavity, and the slider is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the cavity of the main frame.

[0011] Preferably, one end of the connecting spring is fixedly connected to the rear end of the iron block, and the other end of the connecting spring is fixedly connected to the inner sidewall of the positioning pin.

[0012] Preferably, the iron block is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the positioning pin, and the connecting plate is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the positioning pin.

[0013] Preferably, the insert is slidably connected to the inner sidewall of the positioning pin.

[0014] Preferably, the outer sidewall of the positioning pin contacts the inner sidewall of the positioning hole, and the outer wall of the insert block is inserted into the inner sidewall of the slot.

[0015] This invention provides a magnetic splicing structure for a modular, reconfigurable industrial computer. It offers the following advantages: 1. This invention significantly improves the stability and ease of operation of the splicing of functional modules and main frame through the collaborative design of magnetic installation components and reinforcement components. The initial magnetic pre-fixation formed by neodymium iron boron strong magnets enables the rapid positioning and installation of functional modules, and the initial splicing can be completed without additional tools; after the electromagnetic winding is started, electromagnetic adsorption strengthening and secondary reinforcement are realized simultaneously.

[0016] 2. This invention achieves electromagnetic adsorption strengthening and secondary reinforcement simultaneously after the electromagnetic winding is activated. Through the linkage structure of the iron block, connecting plate, hinge rod and plug, the plug automatically engages with the slot of the positioning hole, forming a double fixation guarantee. This effectively resists vibration and impact in the industrial environment and prevents the functional module from loosening and falling off. At the same time, turning off the electromagnetic winding automatically releases the secondary reinforcement state. Combined with the separable characteristics of the neodymium iron boron strong magnet, it enables the rapid disassembly of the functional module, greatly improving the efficiency of modular reconstruction and solving the problems of insufficient stability of magnetic splicing and cumbersome manual reinforcement operation in the prior art.

[0017] 3. This invention utilizes a cooling fan and exhaust grille at the rear of the main frame to form an active heat dissipation channel. This, combined with the heat dissipation mechanism of the functional module itself, achieves dual heat dissipation, effectively reducing heat accumulation inside the main frame, improving heat dissipation efficiency, and ensuring stable performance of the functional module under high load. The reset spring allows the positioning pin to be flexibly adjusted to different thicknesses of functional modules. Combined with the control of electromagnetic attraction, this ensures that the functional module and the main frame always remain on the same plane, improving the adaptability of the structure. This allows the same main frame to be compatible with functional modules of various specifications, broadening the product's applicability and solving the problems of insufficient heat dissipation efficiency and poor structural adaptability in the prior art.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example

[0021] Please see the appendix Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 7 The present invention provides a magnetic splicing structure for a modular reconfigurable industrial computer, including a main frame 1. Functional modules 2 are detachably installed on the inner sidewall of the main frame 1 through a magnetic mounting component. A heat dissipation component is provided at the rear end of the main frame 1. Reinforcing components 7 are provided at the four corners of the inner sidewall of the main frame 1. The magnetic mounting assembly is used to quickly install the functional module 2 onto the inside of the main frame 1, facilitating modular disassembly. A heat dissipation component is used to actively dissipate heat from the functional module 2 installed inside the main frame 1. The reinforcement component 7 is used to reinforce the position where the functional module 2 is installed inside the main frame 1, and it is automatically released as the magnetic mounting component is opened and closed.

[0022] Reference Figures 3-5 The reinforcing component 7 includes a slider 72. A cavity is provided on the inner side wall of the main frame 1. The slider 72 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the cavity of the main frame 1. The slider 72 is elastically connected to the inner side wall of the bottom end of the main frame 1 through a return spring 73. One end of the return spring 73 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the bottom end of the main frame 1, and the other end of the return spring 73 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the slider 72. The function of the return spring 73 is to automatically reset the position of the slider 72 after it moves backward. At the same time, when the positioning pin 74 is inserted into the inner side of the positioning hole 71 at the rear end of the functional module 2, it can extend into the inner side of the main frame 1 according to the different thicknesses of the functional module 2. By adjusting the electromagnetic attraction of the electromagnetic winding 3, the functional module 2 can always be in the same plane as the main frame 1.

[0023] Reference Figures 5-7Positioning holes 71 are provided at each of the four corners of functional module 2. A positioning pin 74 is fixedly connected to the front end of the slider 72. An iron block 76 is elastically connected to the inner side wall of the positioning pin 74 through a connecting spring 75. One end of the connecting spring 75 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the iron block 76, and the other end of the connecting spring 75 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the positioning pin 74. The function of the connecting spring 75 is to generate an electromagnetic attraction force when the electromagnetic winding 3 is opened and closed, so as to synchronously pull and attract the iron block 76 and compress the connecting spring. Spring 75, until electromagnetic winding 3 is closed, iron block 76 will be automatically reset by the elastic force of connecting spring 75. Connecting post 77 is fixedly connected to the front end of iron block 76, and connecting plate 78 is fixedly connected to the end of connecting post 77 away from iron block 76. Iron block 76 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of positioning pin 74, and connecting plate 78 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of positioning pin 74. When iron block 76 moves, it will drive connecting plate 78 to move synchronously through connecting post 77. A hinge rod 79 is hinged to the wall, and a plug 710 is hinged to the end of the hinge rod 79 away from the connecting plate 78. The plug 710 passes through and is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the positioning pin 74. When the connecting plate 78 moves backward with the connecting post 77, it will push the plug 710 upward inside the positioning pin 74 synchronously through multiple sets of hinge rods 79. A slot 711 is opened on the inner side wall of the positioning hole 71. The outer side wall of the positioning pin 74 contacts the inner side wall of the positioning hole 71, and the outer wall of the plug 710 contacts the slot. The inner side wall of 711 is inserted, and the insertion between the two allows the functional module 2 to be initially magnetically attracted to the inside of the main frame 1 by the neodymium iron boron strong magnet 4. At this time, the electromagnetic winding 3 magnetically attracts the rear end of the functional module 2, and at the same time, it pulls the iron block 76 to drive the connecting plate 78 to move synchronously. The hinge rod 79 pushes the plug 710 to slide out from the inside of the positioning pin 74 and insert it into the slot 711 inside the positioning hole 71, thereby achieving secondary reinforcement.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The heat dissipation component includes a cooling fan 5, which is located on the rear end surface of the main frame 1. The surface of the main frame 1 has a through-hole exhaust grille 6, and the position of the cooling fan 5 corresponds to the exhaust grille 6. By integrating the cooling fan 5 at the rear end of the main frame 1, the functional module 2 installed inside the main frame 1 can not only dissipate heat through its own heat dissipation mechanism, but also draw the heat generated by the functional module 2 outward through the exhaust grille 6 via the cooling fan 5, thereby achieving a dual heat dissipation effect.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The magnetic mounting assembly includes an electromagnetic winding 3. A cavity is provided on the inner side of the main frame 1. The electromagnetic winding 3 is electrically connected to the inner sidewall of the cavity of the main frame 1. With electromagnetic assistance, it can electro-attract the rear end of the functional module 2 when it is opened and closed, so that it is firmly installed on the inner side of the main frame 1 and avoids falling off due to vibration. The surface of the main frame 1 is provided with a rectangular array of neodymium iron boron strong magnets 4. By setting the array of neodymium iron boron strong magnets 4, the functional module 2 can be actively attracted when it is installed on the inner side of the main frame 1, so that it is stably installed on the inner side of the main frame 1, providing pre-support force for the subsequent electro-attraction opening and closing of the electromagnetic winding 3.

[0026] Working principle: When functional module 2 needs to be installed onto the main frame 1, the neodymium iron boron magnets 4 arranged in a rectangular array on the surface of the main frame 1 generate a strong attraction force, forming an active attraction effect on functional module 2. This allows functional module 2 to be quickly positioned and stably attached to the inside of the main frame 1, completing the initial magnetic installation. During this process, the neodymium iron boron magnets 4 provide stable pre-support force for functional module 2, ensuring the initial installation position of functional module 2 is accurate. This lays the foundation for subsequent electromagnetic adsorption and secondary reinforcement processes, preventing displacement during the initial installation phase.

[0027] After functional module 2 is initially positioned by neodymium iron boron magnet 4, the electromagnetic winding 3, electrically connected to the inner sidewall of the cavity of the main frame 1, is activated, generating an electromagnetic attraction force that forms an electro-attraction with the rear end of functional module 2, further enhancing the fit between functional module 2 and the main frame 1 and preventing functional module 2 from falling off due to vibration in the industrial environment. At the same time, the electromagnetic attraction force generated by the electromagnetic winding 3 acts synchronously on the iron block 76 inside the positioning pin 74 in the reinforcing component 7, pulling the iron block 76 backward and compressing the connecting spring 75. The iron block 76 is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning pin 74, and its movement drives the connecting plate 78 to slide backward synchronously through the connecting post 77; the hinge rod 79 hinged to the inside of the connecting plate 78 is linked accordingly, pushing the insert 710 to slide upward inside the positioning pin 74 and extend outward from the outside of the positioning pin 74. Since the positioning holes 71 at the four corners of functional module 2 have made contact with the positioning pins 74 at the front end of slider 72, the protruding insert 710 is inserted into the slots 711 opened on the inner side wall of the positioning holes 71, thus achieving secondary reinforcement of the installation position of functional module 2. During this process, slider 72 is elastically connected to the inner side of the bottom end of main frame 1 by return spring 73. The elasticity of return spring 73 allows positioning pins 74 to flexibly penetrate into the inner side of main frame 1 according to the different thicknesses of functional modules 2. Combined with the adjustment of the electromagnetic attraction force of electromagnetic winding 3, it ensures that functional module 2 always remains on the same plane as main frame 1.

[0028] When functional module 2 needs to be disassembled, the electromagnetic winding 3 is turned off, and its electromagnetic attraction force disappears. At this time, the connecting spring 75 in the reinforcing assembly 7 returns to its elastic deformation, pushing the iron block 76 forward to reset. The iron block 76 drives the connecting plate 78 to move forward synchronously through the connecting post 77. The hinge rod 79 pulls the insert 710 out of the slot 711 of the positioning hole 71 and retracts into the inside of the positioning pin 74, and the secondary reinforcement state is automatically released. At the same time, the attraction force of the neodymium iron boron strong magnet 4 can be easily overcome by external force, and the operator can directly remove functional module 2 from the main frame 1 to complete the disassembly process; while the slider 72 returns to its initial position under the elastic action of the return spring 73, preparing for the next installation.

[0029] During the operation of functional module 2, the heat dissipation components work continuously to ensure equipment stability. The cooling fan 5 located on the rear surface of the main frame 1 corresponds to the through exhaust grille 6 on the surface of the main frame 1. The heat generated by the operation of functional module 2 is partially dissipated through its own heat dissipation mechanism, and the other part is drawn outward through the exhaust grille 6 by the cooling fan 5, forming a dual heat dissipation effect. This effectively reduces the ambient temperature inside the main frame 1 and prevents functional module 2 from degrading or being damaged due to overheating.
