Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of industrial automation technology, and in particular, relates to a control box for an industrial automation control instrument system. Background Art

[0002] Control boxes for industrial automation control instruments are used in the process of industrial automation. Automatic control and automatic adjustment in industrial production are completed through the control boxes, so that the machine can automatically and repeatedly produce one or a batch of products. However, the existing control boxes for industrial automation control instrument systems have some defects during maintenance, and the recessed box body is very inconvenient during maintenance.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN218072160U discloses a control box for an industrial automation control instrument system. Cylinders matching the through holes are arranged on the left and right sides of the top of the inner cavity of the control box shell. The mounting plate is movably installed in the inner cavity of the control box shell through the matching through holes and the cylinders. The front end faces of the outer walls of the cylinders are provided with external threads.

[0004] The above patent adjusts the position of the mounting plate by disassembling the cylinder and the limit ring, but the limit ring and the cylinder are connected by threads. Long-term installation, disassembly and adjustment will cause wear of the threads on the cylinder and the limit ring, and eventually make them unable to be tightened, so they need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to provide a control box for an industrial automation control instrument system, which can solve the above problems.

[0006] The purpose of this application is to provide a control box for an industrial automation control instrument system, comprising:

[0007] The housing body has a mounting plate disposed inside thereof;

[0008] The adjusting component is arranged in the housing body, and the adjusting component comprises:

[0009] A connecting structure, used to connect the housing body and the mounting plate;

[0010] A limiting structure, used to limit the distance between the mounting plate and the housing body;

[0011] There are at least two connecting structures and two limiting structures, and the two connecting structures and two limiting structures are stacked and arranged on both sides of the mounting plate.

[0012] The above-mentioned control box for an industrial automation control instrument system is adopted. A mounting plate is arranged in the shell body, and electrical components and circuits are installed on the mounting plate. By setting a connecting structure, the link structure can be fixed, and the two can also be separated to facilitate pulling the mounting plate outward. In addition, while ensuring tightening, the negative effects of thread wear can be avoided. By setting an adjustment component, the distance and position of the mounting plate can be limited to avoid installation detachment. At the same time, in order to make the adjustment more rapid and stable, two limit structures are also set on both sides of the bottom of the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the connection structure includes:

[0014] A slot is provided on the housing body, a replacement plate is provided in the slot, and a threaded hole is provided on the replacement plate;

[0015] A first through hole, disposed on the housing body and connected to the threaded hole;

[0016] A second through hole, disposed on the mounting plate and connected to the first through hole;

[0017] The connecting piece comprises a nut and a screw, wherein the end of the screw is provided with a thread;

[0018] The screw rod passes through the second through hole and the first through hole in sequence and is connected to the threaded hole. The inner diameters of the first through hole and the second through hole are the same and larger than the diameter of the screw rod.

[0019] The replacement plate and the slot are plug-in connected for easy replacement. Since the threaded hole is provided on the replacement plate, when the thread in the threaded hole is worn, only the replacement plate needs to be replaced. At the same time, a first through hole is provided on the shell body, and a second through hole is provided on the mounting plate. The threaded hole, the first through hole and the second through hole are connected to each other. Among the three, only the threaded hole has a thread. Therefore, the screw rod will only cooperate with the threaded hole, and the wear problem will only occur on the threaded hole and the screw rod. The inner diameters of the first through hole and the second through hole are the same and larger than the diameter of the screw rod, and will not directly contact the bolt, effectively avoiding the occurrence of thread wear problems. The replacement plate and the connecting part with threads are both replaceable objects, and can be replaced if damaged. The cost is low and the replacement is convenient. There will be no problem of being unable to tighten due to wear, and the entire mounting plate will not need to be replaced due to damage, thereby reducing the cost.

[0020] Further: a protrusion is arranged on the mounting plate, the second through hole passes through the protrusion, a limit cover is also arranged on the mounting plate, the limit cover is connected to the protrusion, and a limit hole for the screw to pass through is arranged on the limit cover.

[0021] By setting the protrusion and the limit cover, the length of the second through hole can be extended, so that a longer connector can be used, and finally the adjustment distance of the mounting plate can be made longer. At the same time, the connectors can be prevented from contacting the mounting plate. In addition, the limit cover also has the effect of expanding the contact area, so that the fastening effect of the connector is better, and the setting of the limit hole on the limit cover can further play a limiting role, effectively preventing the connector from shaking after installation. For the installation of the limit cover, the limit rod and the protrusion are threadedly connected, which is convenient for installation and disassembly.

[0022] Furthermore, a first limiting ring is arranged in the second through hole, a second limiting ring is arranged on the screw rod, and a spring is arranged between the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring.

[0023] Through the first limiting ring, the second limiting ring and the spring, when fixing the mounting plate, the second limiting ring cooperates with the first limiting ring to squeeze the spring, and the spring generates a reaction force to press against the first limiting ring and the second limiting ring, thereby playing a tightening effect for fixing the mounting plate. When adjusting the installation and insulation, the connecting piece needs to be loosened first, at which time the spring resets and provides elastic force to the second limiting ring, so that it is convenient for maintenance personnel to loosen the connecting piece, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency, facilitating the adjustment of the mounting plate, and thus facilitating the overall maintenance work.

[0024] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes an inner rod body and an outer rod body in a telescopic structure, the outer rod body is arranged on the outer shell body, and a limiting head connected to the mounting plate is arranged on the top of the inner rod body.

[0025] By setting up an inner rod body and an outer rod body with a telescopic connection, when the mounting plate is pulled outward, the pulling distance will be affected by the telescopic length of the inner rod body and the outer rod body. The pulling distance of the mounting plate can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic length, and the limit head is used to limit the mounting plate to prevent it from detaching from the mounting plate.

[0026] Furthermore, a box door is hinged on the shell body, an observation window is arranged on the box door, and a storage bag is arranged on the lower side of the observation window.

[0027] By hingedly installing the box door on the outer shell body, the box door can be easily opened and closed. A handle is also installed on the box door. At the same time, by arranging an observation window on the box door, the internal situation can be seen through the observation window without opening the box door. In addition, by arranging a storage bag on the lower side of the observation window, some commonly used tools can be placed in the storage bag, which improves convenience and makes it easy for maintenance personnel to take tools at any time.

[0028] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0029] 1. By setting the connection structure, the link structure can be fixed, and the two can be separated to facilitate pulling the mounting plate outward. In addition, while ensuring the tightening, the negative effects caused by thread wear can be avoided. By setting the adjustment component, the distance and position of the mounting plate can be limited to avoid installation separation;

[0030] 2. Since the threaded hole is arranged on the replacement plate, when the thread in the threaded hole is worn, it is only necessary to replace the replacement plate. The threaded hole, the first through hole and the second through hole are interconnected. Among the three, only the threaded hole has a thread. Therefore, the screw rod will only cooperate with the threaded hole, and the wear problem will only occur on the threaded hole and the screw rod. Moreover, the inner diameters of the first through hole and the second through hole are the same and larger than the diameter of the screw rod, and will not directly contact the bolt, effectively avoiding the occurrence of thread wear problems. The replacement plate and the connecting piece with threads are both replaceable objects, and can be replaced if damaged. The cost is low and the replacement is convenient. There will be no problem of being unable to tighten due to wear, and there will be no need to replace the entire mounting plate due to damage, thus reducing the cost.

[0031] 3. By setting up the inner rod and the outer rod connected by telescopic connection, when the mounting plate is pulled outward, the pulling distance will be affected by the telescopic length of the inner rod and the outer rod. The pulling distance of the mounting plate can be adjusted by adjusting the telescopic length, and the limit head is used to limit the mounting plate to prevent it from detaching from the mounting plate.
