[0034] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a panel assembly, the structure of which is as Figures 1 to 8 shown, including a panel 1 and a protective cover 2. The protective cover 2 is rotatably opened and closed on the upper part of the panel 1. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the upper part of the panel 1 is exposed, so that the electrical components on the panel 1 can be operated. When the protective cover 2 is closed, the upper part of the panel 1 is blocked, playing a protective role. A limiting member 3 is rotatably provided on the panel 1. The limiting member 3 has an unlocking position and a limiting position at an angle to the unlocking position. Thus, by rotating the limiting member 3, its conversion between the unlocking position and the limiting position can be realized. A limiting handle 31 is provided at the upper end of the limiting member 3. A through hole 21 for the limiting handle 31 to pass through when closed is provided on the protective cover 2. When the limiting member 3 is in the unlocking position, the protective cover 2 can be opened and closed. After the protective cover 2 is closed, the limiting member 3 is rotated to the limiting position, and the protective cover 2 is locked and limited by the limiting handle 31 to prevent the protective cover 2 from being opened, so that the protective cover 2 is tightly covered, and a basis is provided for setting a sealing ring between the protective cover 2 and the panel 1 to improve the waterproof function. With the above structure, when closing the protective cover 2, the limiting member 3 is in the unlocking position, and then the protective cover 2 is turned and closed. By rotating the limiting member 3 to the limiting position, at this time, the limiting handle 31 of the limiting member 3 can limit the protective cover 2 to prevent the protective cover 2 from being opened, so that the protective cover 2 and the panel 1 are tightly engaged. When the limiting member 3 is rotated to the unlocking position, it will not block the opening of the protective cover 2, which is convenient to operate and can improve the use performance of the product. When the length of the panel assembly is relatively long, in order to enhance the locking and limiting of the protective cover 2, two or more limiting members 3 can be provided.
[0035] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, an installation hole 11 is provided on the panel 1. The limiting member 3 has an installation shaft portion 32. The installation shaft portion 32 is inserted into the installation hole 11 and can rotate. A limiting structure is provided on the installation shaft portion 32. After the installation shaft portion 32 is inserted into the installation hole 11 in place, it is limited by the limiting structure to prevent the installation shaft portion 32 from withdrawing from the installation hole 11, so as to effectively install the limiting member 3 on the panel 1. More specifically, the limiting structure is set as a limiting spring buckle 33 provided on the installation shaft portion 32. The limiting spring buckle 33 is buckled with the edge of the installation hole 11 to prevent the installation shaft portion 32 from disengaging from the installation hole 11. The limiting spring buckle 33 has elasticity, which is beneficial to the insertion of the installation shaft portion 32 into the installation hole 11. After the installation shaft portion 32 is fully inserted into the installation hole 11, the limiting spring buckle 33 is buckled on the edge of the installation hole 11, making the installation of the limiting member 3 relatively convenient.
[0036] As Figure 1As shown, a protruding portion 16 protruding outward is provided at the edge of the panel 1, and a convex plate portion 22 protruding outward is provided at the edge of the protective cover 2 at a position corresponding to the protruding portion 16. The limiting member 3 is provided on the protruding portion 16, and the insertion hole 21 is provided on the convex plate portion 22. In this way, when the limiting member 3 rotates to the limiting position, the lower end of the limiting handle 31 abuts against the convex plate portion 22, thereby limiting the protective cover 2.
[0037] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a buckle 23 is provided on the edge of the protective cover 2. When the protective cover 2 is in the closed position, the buckle 23 is snap-connected with the panel 1. In this way, when closing the protective cover 2, the user only needs to simply press it into place so that the buckle 23 snaps into the corresponding part on the panel 1 to form a stable connection. No additional tools or complicated steps are required, which improves the convenience of use. Preferably, the buckle 23 is set on the protruding plate portion 22. When the protective cover 2 is opened, the buckle 23 can be detached from the panel 1 by pulling the protruding plate portion 22.
[0038] In some embodiments, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the panel 1 is provided with a padlock plate 12 protruding upward, the padlock plate 12 is provided with a padlock hole 13, and the protective cover 2 is provided with a lock plate through-hole 24. When the protective cover 2 is in a closed state, the padlock plate 12 passes through the lock plate through-hole 24, and the padlock hole 13 is exposed. In this state, a padlock can be installed on the lock plate through-hole 24 to effectively lock the protective cover 2. This design can effectively prevent unauthorized personnel from opening the protective cover 2.
[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the protective cover 2 is made of transparent material, so that the upper part of the panel 1 can be seen from the outside of the protective cover without opening the protective cover 2, reducing the operational inconvenience caused by the need to open the protective cover 2 for viewing; a label pasting area 14 is provided on the protective cover 2, and various labels (such as instruction labels, reminder labels, product model labels, etc.) can be pasted in this area to provide necessary information for the operator.
[0040] In some embodiments, Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the panel 1 is provided with an axis connection seat 15, and the protective cover 2 is provided with an axis connection block 25 at a position corresponding to the axis connection seat 15. The axis connection block 25 is connected to the axis connection seat 15 through a connecting pin 4. The axis connection seat 15 and the axis connection block 25 are connected through the connecting pin 4, so that the protective cover 2 can rotate around the connecting pin 4 to open and close.
[0041] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, a retaining platform A151 is provided at the shaft connecting base 15, and a retaining platform B251 is provided on the shaft connecting block 25. During the opening and closing process of the protective cover 2, the retaining platform B251 slides over the retaining platform A151. After the protective cover 2 is opened, the protective cover 2 is restricted at the open position by the abutting cooperation between the retaining platform A151 and the retaining platform B251, thus not affecting the operation of personnel.
[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 7 shown, an annular groove is provided on the upper surface of the panel 1, and a sealing ring 10 is provided in the annular groove. An annular boss 20 matching the annular groove is provided on the protective cover 2. After the protective cover 2 is closed, the annular boss 20 presses tightly against the sealing ring 10. The annular groove can position the sealing ring 10 so that it can be stably located on the panel 1. After the protective cover 2 is closed, the annular boss 20 presses tightly against the sealing ring 10, and the gap between the protective cover 2 and the panel 1 is sealed by the sealing ring 10, playing a role in waterproofing and dustproofing, and effectively improving the product performance.
[0043] Second, the structure of the interval operation module provided by the embodiment of the present invention is as Figures 9 to 11 shown. It includes a bottom case 5 and a panel assembly provided on the upper part of the bottom case 5. The panel assembly adopts the panel assembly described in any of the above embodiments.
