Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of electronic engineering, and in particular relates to an embedded computer with an expansion interface. Background Art

[0002] An embedded system is a computer application, typically a microprocessor system embedded in a host device. Its key point is that the computer's purpose is not to perform for itself, but to assist the host device, making it intelligent and networked. An embedded system is generally defined as an application-centric, computer-based, customizable hardware and software computer system suitable for systems with strict requirements for functionality, reliability, cost, size, and power consumption. Therefore, in embedded systems, the operating system and application software are often integrated into the computer hardware system, integrating the system's application software and hardware. The hardware and software of embedded systems require efficient collaborative design to achieve tailored performance, eliminate redundancy, and achieve higher performance within the same system configuration.

[0003] The authorization publication number "CN202694225U" records "an industrial embedded computer with multiple serial ports, which relates to the field of computer technology and solves the technical problem that existing industrial embedded computers have few serial ports and are difficult to expand. The industrial embedded computer with multiple serial ports uses an industrial motherboard with an onboard multi-serial port control chip. It is characterized in that: the embedded computer uses an industrial motherboard with an onboard multi-serial port control chip, which can provide up to six expandable serial ports and has a large upgrade space. At the same time, it meets the high demand for serial interfaces in modern industrial fields and completely solves industrial field problems."

[0004] The embedded computer in the above patent revolutionizes the serial port limitations in the traditional industrial computing field. By integrating an onboard multi-serial port control chip, the computer can provide up to six or more serial communication ports, significantly enhancing the device's connectivity and data exchange capabilities. However, the above device is exposed to the external environment and has no protective devices around it. This will cause strong impact forces to pose a serious threat to the hardware of the embedded computer, and will also cause a series of physical damage and functional disorders. It is extremely sensitive to external impacts, and collisions can easily cause physical deformation or breakage of its internal components, thereby losing data storage capabilities. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an embedded computer with an expansion interface, aiming to solve the problem in the prior art that the above-mentioned device is exposed to the external environment and has no protective devices around the device, which not only causes strong impact forces to pose a serious threat to the hardware of the embedded computer, but also causes a series of physical damage and functional disorders. It is extremely sensitive to external impacts, and collisions can easily cause physical deformation or breakage of its internal components, thereby losing data storage capabilities.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] An embedded computer with an expansion interface, comprising:

[0008] A protective shell, wherein an anti-slip groove is provided in the protective shell, an inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove is movably connected to a computer body, one end of the computer body is movably connected to a rubber pad, one end of the rubber pad is fixedly connected to a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a push plate, one end of the push plate is fixedly connected to a buffer rod, a locking ring is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the buffer rod, one end of the protective shell is provided with a connecting groove, one end of the protective shell is fixedly connected to a spring, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the connecting plate.

[0009] As a preferred solution of the present invention, one end of the computer body is fixedly connected to a plurality of connection ports.

[0010] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a sliding groove is provided on an inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove, and a sliding block is fixedly connected to one end of the computer body.

[0011] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided at one end of the protective shell, a dustproof shell is fixedly connected to one end of the protective shell, and a dustproof groove is provided in the dustproof shell.

[0012] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the lower end of the protective shell is fixedly connected to a friction pad, the lower end of the protective shell is provided with a movable groove, the surface of the movable groove is fixedly connected to a fixed rod, the lower end of the fixed rod is provided with a pillar, one end of the pillar is provided with a rotating groove, and the lower end of the pillar is fixedly connected to a gasket.

[0013] As a preferred solution of the present invention, a support plate is fixedly connected to an inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove, and a plurality of receiving rings are fixedly connected to one end of the support plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. In this solution, a rubber pad is movably connected to one end of the computer body. This connection, along with components such as a connecting rod, a push plate, and a buffer rod, forms an effective shock absorber. When the computer body is subjected to an external impact, the rubber pad first absorbs and cushions the impact force, then transfers the force to the push plate, which in turn transfers the force to the buffer rod. The buffer rod absorbs the remaining impact energy through its elastic deformation, reducing the direct impact on the computer body. The locking ring ensures the stability of the push plate and buffer rod, and the combination of the spring and connecting plate ensures that the computer body can return to its original position after an impact, avoiding permanent deformation. This improves the overall stability and service life of the device.

[0016] 2. In this solution, the design of multiple heat dissipation holes ensures that hot air can be discharged from the inside of the protective casing, which helps to reduce the internal temperature and thus improve the working efficiency and stability of the computer body. It can block external dust from entering the protective casing and prevent dust from accumulating on electronic components, resulting in poor heat dissipation or other electrical failures. On the other hand, the design of the dustproof groove further enhances the dustproof ability. Even if tiny dust particles enter through the heat dissipation holes, they will be captured by the dustproof groove, thereby effectively reducing the cleaning work required for maintenance.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] See also Figure 1-5 , the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0027] An embedded computer with an expansion interface, comprising:

[0028] A protective shell 1 is provided with an anti-slip groove 2, and a computer body 3 is movably connected to the inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove 2.

[0029] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the anti-slip groove 2 is provided to increase the friction when the user holds the computer, effectively preventing accidental drops caused by hand slippage. The computer body 3 is installed inside the protective shell 1 through a movable connection, and there is a certain moving space inside the shell to absorb impact force; the combination of the rubber pad 4 and the push plate 6 can provide a buffering effect when subjected to external impact, and the position of the rubber pad 4 is adjusted by the connecting rod 5 to further absorb the impact force; the buffer rod 7 provides additional buffering effect when the push plate 6 moves; the locking ring 8 is used to lock the position of the buffer rod 7, ensuring the stability of the protective shell 1 under normal use; the cooperation of the spring 10 and the connecting plate 11 helps the protective shell 1 to return to its original position after being impacted, thereby improving the life of the portable computer during external collisions and increasing the service life of the computer.

[0030] For details, please refer to Figure 2 One end of the computer body 3 is fixedly connected to a plurality of connection ports 12 .

[0031] In this embodiment: one end of the computer body 3 is fixedly connected to multiple connection ports 12, which allows users to easily add various peripherals or expansion modules as needed. The design of multiple connection ports 12 provides users with a flexible platform that can be customized according to different application scenarios and needs, thereby enhancing the scalability and flexibility of the embedded computer, allowing users to quickly adapt to changing working environments according to actual needs and meet functional requirements in different scenarios.

When the computer body 3 is subjected to external impact, the sliding block 13 can slide along the inner wall of one side of the sliding groove 14, and disperse and absorb part of the impact force through its own movement, thereby reducing the direct impact on the computer body 3 and improving the overall stability and durability of the device.

[0034] For details, please refer to Figure 3 One end of the protective shell 1 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 15 , and one end of the protective shell 1 is fixedly connected to a dustproof shell 16 , and a dustproof groove 17 is provided in the dustproof shell 16 .

[0035] In this embodiment: a plurality of heat dissipation holes 15 are provided at one end of the protective shell 1, which help to discharge hot air from the inside of the protective shell 1, improve the internal temperature, and improve the working efficiency and stability of the computer body 3. At the same time, a dustproof shell 16 is fixedly connected to one end of the protective shell 1, and a dustproof groove 17 is provided in the dustproof shell 16, which effectively prevents dust from entering the inside of the protective shell 1, avoids dust accumulation on electronic components causing poor heat dissipation or other electrical failures, improves the reliability and durability of the system, and reduces the maintenance frequency caused by dust accumulation, so that the embedded computer can maintain a good operating state in various environments.

[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 1 The lower end of the protective shell 1 is fixedly connected to a friction pad 18, and a movable groove 19 is opened at the lower end of the protective shell 1. The surface of the movable groove 19 is fixedly connected to a fixed rod 20, and the lower end of the fixed rod 20 is provided with a pillar 21.

The combined design of the movable groove 19 and the fixed rod 20 allows the pillar 21 to rotate freely within a certain range. The user can adjust the tilt angle of the portable computer as needed to obtain a more comfortable use experience. The pillar 21 is connected to the fixed rod 20 through the rotating groove 22, providing sufficient supporting strength, and allowing the pillar 21 to be folded up when not in use, which is easy to carry, thereby improving the comfort and stability of the portable computer and optimizing the heat dissipation performance of the device. At the same time, it protects the desktop from damage, thereby improving the overall user experience.

[0038] For details, please refer to Figure 1 A support plate 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove 2, and a plurality of receiving rings 25 are fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 24.

[0039] In this embodiment: a support plate 24 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the anti-slip groove 2, and a plurality of receiving rings 25 are fixedly connected to one end of the support plate 24, which can provide additional support points for the computer body 3 when the device is in use, thereby enhancing the stability of the overall structure. The presence of the receiving ring 25 allows users to easily use the connector of the external device for support and use, thereby improving the flexibility and functionality of the device.

[0040] The working principle and use process of this utility model:

[0041] When the protective shell 1 is subjected to external impact, the computer body 3 will move inside the shell, triggering the buffering effect of the rubber pad 4. The push plate 6 moves along the connecting rod 5, further compressing the rubber pad 4 to absorb the impact force. The buffer rod 7 also participates in buffering under the action of the push plate 6, reducing the impact of the impact on the computer body 3. The locking ring 8 ensures stability during impact and allows the buffer rod 7 to have a certain amount of movement space to better absorb the impact force and return to its original position. After the impact is over, the spring 10 helps the protective shell 1 and its internal components to return to their initial state through the action of the connecting plate 11.

[0042] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention.
