[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it includes a USB board 3, a control panel 2 and a USB cap 1, and the USB cap 1 passes through the control panel 2 and is buckled with the USB board 3; wherein the USB cap 1 has a first end face 10 and a second end face 11 arranged opposite to each other; the first end face 10 is arranged away from the USB board 3, and the second end face 11 is arranged close to the USB board 3, and a boss 6 is integrally formed on the first end face 10, wherein the boss 6 is waist-shaped, and the boss 6 can also be annular, circular or U-shaped, and the boss 6 is arranged for easy manual opening.
[0039] See also Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second end surface 11 is provided with a plug 8 and a cylinder 7. The plug 8 penetrates the control panel 2 and the USB board 3 and is buckled. The cylinder 7 is rotatably arranged on the control panel 2. A protrusion 19 is arranged on the end of the cylinder 7. The protrusions 19 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the cylinder 7. A gap is formed between the two protrusions 19. The protrusions 19 are hemispherical. When the protrusions 19 penetrate the control panel 2, the gap formed gradually shrinks. Figure 7 After the cylinder 7 passes through the control panel 2, the gap returns to the original spacing, so that the cylinder 7 is rotated to install the control panel 2 to prevent it from falling off. During use, after opening the USB cap 1, it can be rotated and placed aside without falling off, preventing the cap from being lost during use.
[0040] See also Figure 8As shown, a notch 20 for inlaying the USB cap 1 is provided on the control panel 2. The shape and specifications of the notch 20 are the same as those of the first end face 10 / second end face 11. The first end face 10 / second end face 11 is a regular rectangle. After the USB cap 1 is inserted into the notch 20, the first end face 10 / second end face 11 can completely block the notch 20, effectively preventing dust and water from entering. Moreover, the area of the notch 20 is the same as that of the first end face 10 / second end face 11. See Figure 6 As shown, the USB interface after installation is flat and orderly, improving the overall aesthetics of the machine.
[0041] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, one end face of the plug 8 is striped, and the other end face is smooth. The striped side of the plug 8 enhances friction and plays a fixing role after installation.
[0042] See Figure 2 As shown, a dust and waterproof layer 9 is also fixed on the second end face 11. When the USB cap 1 is rotated and placed beside it, it prevents dust and water from adhering to its surface and plays a protective role.
[0043] See Figure 8 As shown, a guiding hole 12 for the cylinder 7 to penetrate is provided on the control panel 2. A through groove 13 is also provided on the control panel 2. The shape and specifications of the through groove 13 are adapted to those of the plug 8. When the plug 8 is installed in the through groove 13, the cross-section of the plug 8 just blocks the through groove 13, effectively preventing water and dust from entering the USB board 3 along the through groove 13.
[0044] See Figure 4 , a PCB liquid crystal screen 4 is also installed on the control panel 2. The PCB liquid crystal screen 4 is snap-fitted with the control panel 2. A front plastic panel 5 is also installed at one end of the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 facing away from the control panel 2. The control panel 2 is snap-fitted with the front plastic panel 5;
[0045] See Figure 4As shown in the figure, a plurality of positioning slots 14 are provided on the control panel 2. A positioning post 15 and a positioning pin 16 are installed on one side of the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 close to the control panel 2. The positioning post 15 is buckled on the positioning slot 14 and fastened by a nut. The positioning pin 16 and the positioning hole 17 provided on the control panel 2 are in clamping fit. Two positioning pins 16 are fixed on the PCB liquid crystal screen 4, and there are two positioning holes 17 at the corresponding positions on the control panel 2 for adaptation. There are four positioning posts 15 around the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 and four positioning slots 14 at the corresponding positions on the control panel 2. The diameter of the positioning slot 14 is larger than that of the positioning post 15, which is convenient for the movement and positioning of the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 during installation and disassembly. The positioning pin 16 at the bottom of the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 passes through the positioning hole 17, and the positioning post 15 passing through the positioning slot 14 is on one side of the control panel 2, and the installed control panel 2 and the PCB liquid crystal screen 4 are clamped on the front plastic panel 5. Through multiple positioning and guiding, it is convenient for the staff to install and disassemble.
[0046] See Figure 5 , a limit frame 18 is integrally formed on one side of the USB board 3 close to the control panel 2; the USB cap 1 is buckled on the USB board 3, and the inner wall of the limit frame 18 is attached to the outer wall of the plug port 8. The open end of the limit frame 18 extends outwards, which is convenient for the USB cap 1 to be installed in the limit frame 18, so that the installed USB cap 1 plays a role in stable installation.
[0047] The implementation principle of a dust-proof and anti-dropping USB cap in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: when installing the USB cap 1, the cylinder 7 passes through the guiding hole 12 on the control panel 2, the plug port 8 is inserted into the through groove 13 and abuts against the limit frame 18, and the USB cap 1 is completely embedded in the slot 20 of the control panel 2.
