[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of controllers, in particular to a storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller. Background Technique

[0002] In modern electronic devices and automation systems, as a core component, the IO controller undertakes the important tasks of information transmission and device control. The IO controller needs a fixing connection block for transportation packaging and installation to achieve the purpose of cooperative use.

[0003] The Chinese patent discloses a storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller (authorization publication number CN216434697U). The patented technology includes a controller. On the left and right of the middle part of the bottom of the controller, there are connection blocks. A fixing hole is opened on the left side of the connection block. On the front and back sides of the right side of the connection block, there are sliding blocks. The sliding blocks are fixed on the connection block by screws. A clamping block is arranged on the left side of the sliding block. The clamping block and the connection block are integrally formed. Fixing blocks are arranged on both the left and right sides of the connection block. The fixing blocks are fixed on the controller by screws. The fixing blocks are correspondingly provided with sliding grooves for the sliding blocks, and four clamping grooves are correspondingly opened on the fixing blocks for the clamping blocks. A stop block is arranged on the left side of the sliding groove. The stop block and the fixing block are integrally formed. The fixing block is made of plastic material, the controller is an IO controller, and the connection block is made of plastic material. Using the connection block for connection and fixation is convenient for connection and fixation. The storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller has the advantages of saving space, convenient practical operation, and convenient assembly.

[0004] This patented technology has significant advantages during use, but there are still deficiencies during the use process. The IO controller is installed and fixed through external connecting parts, resulting in an increase in the size of the IO controller, which brings inconvenience to the packaging, transportation, and installation of the IO controller. Therefore, we propose a storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller to solve the existing problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to propose a storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller aiming at the problems existing in the background technique.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A storage type quick fixing connection block for an IO controller, including an IO controller housing, an insertion block, and a rotating shaft. Installation grooves are opened inside both ends of the IO controller housing. Bearings are embedded and installed on the inner walls at both ends of the installation groove. A rotating shaft is rotatably installed inside the bearing. An installation block is arranged on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. A torsion spring with two ends respectively connected to the installation block and the inner wall of the installation groove is sleeved on the outer wall of the rotating shaft. An installation hole is arranged inside the installation block.

[0007] When using a retractable quick-fix connection block for an IO controller in the present solution, during the assembly process of the IO controller, the plug-in block passes through the installation slot and is inserted into the travel slot from bottom to top. The upper end of the plug-in block that passes through the travel slot, the upper limit block is inserted into the screw hole through the rotation of a screw rod, and is fixed to the upper end of the plug-in block. The rotating shaft is supported for rotation inside the installation slot by a bearing. When the rotating shaft rotates, it drives the installation block to be stored in the installation slot, and then the plug-in block is relaxed. The plug-in block is clamped on the outside of the plug-in block to limit the elastically supported installation block. When installing, the plug-in block is pulled upward to separate the installation block from the plug-in block. The torsional elasticity of the torsion spring drives the rotating shaft to rotate, driving the installation block to flip 90°, and the installation block is installed through the installation hole, thereby fixing the IO controller housing.

[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the mounting block is flush with the lower surface of the IO controller housing. When the mounting block is unfolded and installed, effective contact between the bottom of the IO controller housing and the support is ensured.

[0009] Preferably, both ends of the IO controller housing are provided with travel grooves penetrating the mounting groove, and plug blocks are inserted into the travel grooves. The plug blocks inserted into the travel grooves can slide longitudinally in the mounting groove and the IO controller housing to limit the mounting blocks received in the mounting grooves.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the upper end of the travel groove installation groove and the interior of the upper end of the IO controller housing are both provided with a limiting groove penetrating the travel groove.

[0011] Preferably, a lower limit block is provided at the lower end of the insert block, and the lower limit block corresponds to the limit slot through which the installation slot passes. The limit slot ensures that the lower limit block is separated from the installation slot when moving longitudinally and enters the interior of the IO controller housing, which facilitates the rotation of the installation block.

[0012] Preferably, an upper limit block is provided at the upper end of the plug block, a screw rod 1 is provided at the lower end of the upper limit block, a screw hole 1 is provided inside the upper end of the upper limit block, the screw rod 1 is rotatably installed inside the screw hole 1, and the upper limit block corresponds to the storage slot provided inside the upper end of the IO controller housing. The lower limit block passes through the limit slot, and during the packaging process, the upper limit block is flush with the upper end of the IO controller housing, and the upper limit block is installed by rotating the screw rod 1 and the screw hole 1, which facilitates the assembly of the plug block.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating shaft is provided with a second screw hole, the inner wall of one side of the installation slot is provided with a third screw hole, the second screw rod is rotatably inserted in the third screw hole, the outer wall of the second screw rod is sleeved with a torsion ring, and the third screw hole corresponds to the second screw hole. After the rotating shaft is flipped, the second screw hole corresponds to the third screw hole, and after the two ends of the second screw rod are rotatably inserted into the second and third screw holes, the rotating shaft is locked, and the torsion ring facilitates the application of force to the screw rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0015] 1. By arranging rotatably mounted mounting blocks at both ends of the IO controller housing, the mounting parts for the IO controller are accommodated inside both ends of the IO controller housing, reducing the volume of the IO controller and avoiding taking up a large amount of space during packaging and transportation. When installing, after limiting the position of the mounting block, the torsional elasticity of the torsion spring itself is used to push the mounting block to be flush with the lower end of the IO controller housing, effectively installing the IO controller and facilitating fixation.
