When the PLC controller body 1 needs to be repaired, the pressure rod 8 is rotated upward so that it does not squeeze the card plate 5, and the first elastic member 7 returns to its original state, driving the card plate 5 to move to the side close to each other and disengage from the inner wall, and the PLC controller body 1 can be disassembled.

[0028] When the PLC controller is needed, move the PLC controller body 1 to the appropriate position of the control cabinet, insert the mounting tube 4 into the mounting hole in the control cabinet, and then turn the pressure rod 8 downward to make the pressure rod 8 squeeze the card plate 5 to move away from each other, so that the card plate 5 is engaged with the inner wall of the mounting hole, and the PLC controller body 1 is fixed on the control cabinet, so that there is no need to use additional tools to fix the PLC controller body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of facilitating and quickly installing. After fixing the PLC controller body 1, connect the power cord, sensor line and communication line to the connecting socket 3 according to the markings. After the wiring is completed, check whether the wiring is correct and then turn on the PLC controller body 1.

[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A plurality of protrusions 10 are fixedly connected to the connecting seat 3, a card rod 9 is slidably arranged in the protrusion 10, and the card rod 9 can rotate.

The cleaning block 19 can contact the control panel 2. A third elastic member 20 for resetting the cleaning block 19 is sleeved on the front guide rod 18. A protective cover 21 is sleeved on the front guide rod 18. The third elastic member 20 is located in the protective cover 21 to protect the third elastic member 20, thereby preventing foreign matter from being entangled on the third elastic member 20.

[0034] After using the PLC controller for a long time, dust and other impurities will adhere to the control panel 2. Push the cleaning block 19 to the right, and the third elastic member 20 will be compressed, so that the cleaning block 19 wipes the control panel 2, thereby keeping the control panel 2 clean and avoiding affecting the reading of data. After wiping is completed, release the cleaning block 19, and the third elastic member 20 returns to its original shape, causing the cleaning block 19 to move to the left and reset.
