DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0031] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It will be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, rather than to limit the present application. It should also be noted that, for ease of description, only some, rather than all, structures related to the present application are shown in the accompanying drawings. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] As used herein, the terms "comprise," "comprising," and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions. For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.
[0033] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.
[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, the guide rail data collector 100 of the present invention includes a control board 1, a power board 2, a terminal block 3 and a housing 4. The control board 1 is used to control the operation of the guide rail data collector 100. The power board 2 is connected to the control board 1 to provide power for the guide rail data collector 100. The terminal block 3 is electrically connected to the control board 1. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 4 includes a first sub-shell 41 and a second sub-shell 42 arranged opposite to each other, and the first sub-shell 41 and the second sub-shell 42 are spliced to define a mounting cavity 5 and a communication port 6 connecting the mounting cavity 5 with the outside. Figure 6 As shown, the power board 2 and the control board 1 are arranged in the installation cavity 5, the terminal 3 is exposed outside the housing 4 through the communication port 6, and the outer side of the housing 4 is provided with a slot 8 for cooperating with the guide rail 7 preset in the distribution box. Figure 2 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the structure in which the guide rail is installed in the slot.
[0035] The DIN-rail data collector 100 of this utility model confines the control board 1, power board 2, and terminal blocks 3 within a housing 4. A slot 8 provided in the housing 4 couples the DIN-rail data collector 100 to a guide rail 7 provided in the distribution box, securing the data collector within the distribution box. To remove the data collector from the junction box, the DIN-rail data collector 100 is simply removed from the guide rail 7, facilitating installation and removal while ensuring secure installation.
[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the guide rail type data collector 100 of the present invention further comprises a first engaging body 9 and a second engaging body 10 provided on the same side of the housing 4, and the first engaging body 9 and the second engaging body 10 on opposite sides thereof jointly define a card slot 8. In one embodiment, as Figure 1As shown, one end of the first engaging body 9 is hinged to the shell 4 and the other end is a free end. When the free end moves toward the shell 4 to a preset position, the free end is fixed on the shell 4 to confine the guide rail 7 in the slot 8.
[0037] When the guide rail type data collector 100 needs to be installed on the guide rail 7, the free end of the first engaging body 9 is moved away from the shell 4, the guide rail 7 is placed in the slot 8, and then the free end of the first engaging body 9 is moved toward the shell 4 to a preset position, the first engaging body 9 is fixed to the shell 4, and the guide rail 7 is confined in the slot 8. When the guide rail type data collector 100 needs to be removed from the guide rail 7, the guide rail type data collector 100 only needs to be pulled away from the guide rail 7, the free end of the first engaging body 9 is separated from the shell 4, and then the guide rail type data collector 100 is removed from the guide rail 7. By providing the first engaging body 9 and the second engaging body 10, the installation and removal of the data collector on the guide rail 7 are more convenient.
[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the power board 2 is stacked with the control board 1. By stacking the power board 2 and the control board 1, the DIN-rail data collector 100 does not occupy too much flat installation space when installed in the distribution box, leaving sufficient installation space for other electrical components when installed on the DIN-rail 7.
[0039] In one embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, a first mounting groove 11 for positioning the power board 2 and a second mounting groove 12 for positioning the control board 1 are formed in the mounting cavity 5. The power board 2 and the control board 1 are confined in the first mounting groove 11 and the second mounting groove 12 to prevent the power board 2 and the control board 1 from shaking when they are installed on the housing 4.
[0040] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG5 and Figure 6 As shown, one of the first sub-shell 41 or the second sub-shell 42 is provided with an inserting rod 13, and the other is provided with an inserting slot 14. The inserting rod 13 is inserted into the inserting slot 14 to snap the first sub-shell 41 and the second sub-shell 42 together. In other embodiments, a snap fastener may be provided on the outer surface of the first sub-shell 41 or the second sub-shell 42 to connect the first sub-shell 41 and the second sub-shell 42.
[0041] The clamping direction of the first sub-shell 41 and the second sub-shell 42 is parallel to the control board 1. When the first sub-shell 41 and the second sub-shell 42 are clamped together, they press the power board 2 and the control board 1 on both sides in the width or length direction, so that the power board 2 and the control board 1 are more firmly installed in the housing 4.
[0042] The guide rail data collector 100 of the present invention further includes a wiring slot 15 for inserting the wiring terminal 3. Part of the wiring slot 15 is fixed in the housing 4, and the other part is exposed outside the housing 4. Inserting the wiring terminal 3 in the wiring slot 15 facilitates the installation of the wiring terminal 3.
[0043] The DIN-rail data collector 100 of the present invention also includes a display panel 16 connected to the control board 1 for displaying operating information about the DIN-rail data collector 100. In one embodiment, the control panel is mounted on one of the first or second housings 41, 42. The other housing is provided with a mating slot adapted for the panel, and the display panel 16 is mounted within the mating slot. This reduces the number of components in the DIN-rail data collector 100, integrates the display panel 16 with the housing 4, and enhances the integrity of the DIN-rail data collector 100.
[0044] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
