[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] Combine the following Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a rack-mounted controller provided by the present application is described in detail.

[0046] In this embodiment, a rack-mounted controller is provided. The rack-mounted controller includes a housing 1 , a sliding component and a screen component 3 .

[0047] Specifically, the housing 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped frame structure, and the housing 1 has a placement position 4 inside, which can be used to place the screen component 3, and other positions or spaces other than the placement position 4 are used to place other electrical components. The placement position 4 here can be understood as a part of the space inside the housing 1.

[0048] Specifically, the sliding component is arranged at the placement position 4, and the screen component 3 is arranged on the sliding component. The screen component 3 can extend from the placement position 4 to the shell 1 or retract from the outside of the shell 1 to the placement position 4 through the sliding component; that is, a through hole is opened at the position corresponding to the placement position 4 on the shell 1, and the screen component 3 can extend from the inside of the shell 1 to the outside of the shell 1 through the through hole under the sliding drive of the sliding component, or retract from the outside of the shell 1 to the inside of the shell 1 through the through hole; in this way, the space occupied by the screen component 3 in the shell 1 can be reduced, thereby reducing the overall size of the rack-mounted controller, ensuring that the size of the shell 1 is very small, and while keeping the thickness of the shell 1 very small, it can also perform functions such as display operation, thereby ensuring human-computer interaction, reducing space occupancy, and meeting the needs of realizing visual touch screen operation in a limited space.

[0049] Specifically, the screen component 3 has an auxiliary part and a screen part rotatably connected to the auxiliary part, wherein the auxiliary part is arranged on the sliding member, that is, the sliding of the auxiliary part on the sliding member can drive the sliding of the screen part. In actual use, the screen component 3 will extend from the shell 1 in a manner parallel to the bottom wall of the shell 1 under the action of the sliding member. When the screen component 3 extends from the shell 1, the screen part can rotate around the auxiliary part at a preset angle, so that the operator can adjust or touch the screen component 3 at a suitable angle.

[0050] In this embodiment, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rack-mounted controller further includes a rotating component.

[0051] Specifically, one end of the rotating member is connected to an edge of the auxiliary portion that is capable of extending out of the housing 1 and is perpendicular to the extending direction, and the other end of the rotating member is connected to the screen portion.

[0052] Preferably, the rotating member is a hinge.

[0053] During actual use, the screen component 3 is first extended out of the shell 1 through the sliding component (note that when the screen component 3 is extended out of the shell 1, it is necessary to ensure that the screen part can be completely extended out of the shell 1, and the auxiliary part may not be completely extended out of the shell 1. In other words, the size of the auxiliary part can be larger than the size of the screen part); then the rotating component is used to rotate the screen part around the auxiliary part at a preset angle, and the angle of the screen part is adjusted to the angle most suitable for the operator.

[0054] Preferably, two rotating members are provided, namely a first rotating member 5 and a second rotating member 6; the first rotating member 5 and the second rotating member 6 are spaced apart along the edge of the auxiliary portion, so as to ensure the overall balance of the screen portion.

[0055] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 3 As shown, the screen member 3 includes an auxiliary plate 7 which can serve as an auxiliary portion and a screen 9 which can serve as a screen portion.

[0056] Specifically, the auxiliary plate 7 is rotatably connected with the screen 9 via a rotating member. When in the housing 1, the auxiliary plate 7 is arranged to overlap with the screen 9 via the rotating member, which greatly reduces the space occupied by the screen 9 in the housing 1.

[0057] Furthermore, combined with Figure 5 As shown, the screen member 3 further comprises a handle 10 .

[0058] Specifically, the handle 10 is arranged on the side where the screen 9 can extend out of the housing 1. In actual use, it is assumed that the initial state is: the auxiliary plate 7 overlaps with the screen 9 and retracts into the housing 1, and the handle 10 is exposed to the housing 1; when the screen 9 needs to be adjusted, the operator manually pulls the handle 10, and the screen component 3 is driven by the sliding member to extend out of the housing 1 through the through hole, and finally the screen 9 is rotated to a preset angle by the rotating member. When the screen 9 needs to be retracted into the housing 1, the screen 9 is first buckled onto the auxiliary plate 7 by the rotating member, and then the handle 10 is pushed to retract the screen component 3 into the housing 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the rack-mounted controller further includes a locking member.

[0060] Specifically, the locking member comprises an inserting portion and a locking portion. The inserting portion is arranged on the auxiliary portion and on the side opposite to the rotating member, and the locking portion is arranged on the housing 1 corresponding to the placement position 4.

[0061] Furthermore, the locking member includes a float 12 and a locking hole 13. The float 12 is arranged on the auxiliary part and on the side opposite to the rotating member. The locking hole 13 is arranged on the housing 1 corresponding to the placement position 4. Preferably, the locking hole 13 is arranged in the middle position of the two guide rails.

[0062] In actual use: in the initial state, the screen member 3 is retracted into the housing 1, and the float 12 is now separated from the locking hole 13 (i.e., the float 12 is not inserted into the locking hole 13); when the screen 9 needs to be extended out of the housing 1, the handle 10 is pulled, and under the action of the sliding member, the screen 9 and the auxiliary plate 7 are simultaneously pulled out of the housing 1; then the screen 9 is adjusted to a suitable angle by the rotating member; finally, the auxiliary plate 7 is retracted to a part of the housing 1 by the sliding member, thereby shortening the overall width of the rack-mounted controller (the width refers to the width of the auxiliary plate 7 according to the width of the housing 1). Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the auxiliary plate 7 is retracted to a part of the shell 1, the float 12 will eventually be locked into the locking hole 13, so that the auxiliary plate 7 is positioned on the shell 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the screen 9.

[0063] In this embodiment, combined Figure 3 As shown, the sliding component includes a sliding rail 14 and a sliding block 15 .

[0064] Specifically, two slide rails 14 are provided, and the two slide rails 14 are spaced apart at the placement position 4 along a direction perpendicular to the extending direction.

[0065] Specifically, the auxiliary plate 7 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 14 via the slider 15 , and the sliding of the auxiliary plate 7 on the slide rail 14 can drive the screen 9 to extend or retract into the housing 1 .

[0066] Embodiment 2

[0067] In this embodiment, a control system is provided, including the above-mentioned rack-type controller, so it has all the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned rack-type controller, which will not be elaborated in detail here.

[0068] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
