[0028] Reference Figures 1-2This utility model provides an embodiment of a flight control wiring board for an underwater robot's sealed compartment. The wiring board body 1 is provided with wiring board nuts 5 and wiring board pins. The wiring board body 1 is provided with wiring terminals through the wiring board nuts 5 and wiring board pins. The wiring terminals adopt a standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2. The standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 has at least one set of welding holes for welding DuPont wire pins 4 or nuts. The standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 makes the wiring process from the flight controller to the motor more convenient and improves the stability and reliability of the wiring.

[0029] It should be noted that the main body 1 of the terminal block is a circuit board used to carry electrical connection components. It integrates terminal block nuts 5 and terminal block pins, forming a connection interface for connecting the flight control module and the motor's electronic speed controller. The main body 1 of the terminal block features pluggable PCB terminals or screw-type PCB terminals via the terminal block nuts 5 and terminal block pins. This allows users to select the appropriate connection method according to their actual needs, thereby achieving a quick and reliable connection between the flight control module and the motor's ESC.

[0030] The standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 is located on the main body 1 of the terminal block. This structure is used to fix the DuPont wire header pins 4 or female headers. The standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 makes the connection between the flight controller and the motor more convenient. At the same time, the integrated plug-in method improves the stability and reliability of the wiring and reduces the failure rate caused by improper connection of the DuPont wires 3.

[0031] In some embodiments, the standard component integral plug-in wiring structure 2 is a high-low double-layer structure. When the standard component integral plug-in wiring structure 2 is screw-type, the applicable standard for the wiring terminals is KF128A-3.5MM pin header;

[0032] It should be noted that the standard component plug-in wiring structure 2 is designed with a high-low dual-layer structure. This ensures that wiring positions at different heights can be provided simultaneously on the same terminal block, facilitating flexible wiring within limited space and adapting to different installation requirements.

[0033] Furthermore, the DuPont wire header 4 or the female header corresponds to the terminal block female header 5 and the terminal block pin header. The DuPont wire header 4 is a DuPont male connector, and the female header is a DuPont female connector. The applicable standard for the DuPont male or female connector is a 2.54mm / 16P pin header.

[0034] It should be noted that the DuPont wire header pin 4 or female connector must be compatible with the terminal block female connector 5 and the terminal block pin header. Specifically, the DuPont wire header pin 4 acts as the male connector for the DuPont wire, while the female connector acts as the female connector for the DuPont wire, ensuring a secure connection. This ensures that the DuPont wire 3 can be correctly inserted and secured to the terminal block during the connection process, thereby avoiding signal interruption or other malfunctions due to loosening.

[0035] When the standard component plug-in wiring structure 2 uses screw-type terminal blocks, the terminal blocks should conform to the KF128A-3.5MM pin header standard. Simultaneously, the DuPont male or female connectors should meet the 2.54MM / 16P pin header standard to ensure that all connection points meet the expected electrical performance requirements.

[0036] In some embodiments, the junction box body 1 is used to integrate multiple flight control signal lines into a group, which simplifies the wiring steps and enhances the stability of the line connection and the reliability of signal transmission.

[0037] It should be noted that the main function of the main body 1 of the terminal block is to integrate multiple control signal lines from the flight controller into a unified output, thereby simplifying the wiring steps, reducing the possibility of errors, and enhancing the stability of the line connection and the reliability of signal transmission.

[0038] The junction box body 1 is adaptable to different models of ROV sealed chambers. The junction box can adapt to different models of ROV sealed chambers, which can significantly improve work efficiency and shorten commissioning time, especially in the production and commissioning process.

[0039] In some embodiments, a waterproof layer is provided on the surface of the terminal block body 1, and the waterproof performance of the terminal block body 1 can be improved by providing a waterproof layer.

[0040] All terminal blocks used in this application are standard parts that can be directly purchased on the market. This not only reduces manufacturing costs but also simplifies the assembly process and facilitates later maintenance and replacement.

[0041] Working Principle: The main body 1 of the terminal block integrates pluggable or screw-type PCB terminal blocks. These terminal blocks interact with the terminal block pins via the terminal block socket 5, forming a reliable connection interface. Pluggable terminal blocks achieve quick connection through physical plugging and unplugging, while screw-type terminal blocks secure the wires by tightening screws; both methods ensure connection stability. The standard integrated pluggable wiring structure 2 allows DuPont wire headers 4 or sockets to be soldered to the main body 1 via soldering holes. This simplifies the wiring between the flight controller and the motor ESC; simply insert the DuPont wire 3 into the corresponding pin or socket to complete the connection. Simultaneously, the integrated pluggable method significantly improves the reliability and stability of the wiring, reducing malfunctions caused by improper wiring.

[0042] The high-low positioning design of the standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 allows the terminal block to integrate more functions within a limited space. DuPont wire headers 4 or 5 match the terminal block headers 5 and pins to ensure a secure connection. Specifically, DuPont wire headers 4 act as male connectors, while the 5 acts as female connectors. This ensures that the DuPont wires 3 are correctly inserted and secured to the terminal block during connection, preventing signal interruption or other malfunctions due to loosening. When the standard component integrated plug-in wiring structure 2 uses screw-type terminals, the terminals must conform to the KF128A-3.5MM pin header standard, and the DuPont male or female connectors should meet the 2.54MM / 16P pin header standard. This ensures that all connection points meet the expected electrical performance requirements and guarantee the quality of signal transmission. The main body 1 of the terminal block integrates multiple control signal lines from the flight controller into a unified output. This simplifies wiring steps, reduces the possibility of errors, and enhances the stability of line connections and the reliability of signal transmission. All terminal block assemblies are standard parts that can be directly purchased from the market. This not only reduces manufacturing costs but also simplifies the assembly process and facilitates later maintenance and replacement. Using standard parts also helps reduce failures caused by incompatible or quality issues, further improving the overall quality and lifespan of the product.
