Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vestibular controller technology, specifically an improved vestibular controller. Background Technology
[0002] The Foreground Controller (FCC) serves as a centralized management controller for gas station foreground equipment. Addressing the diverse types of foreground equipment and varied communication protocols at gas stations, it enables conversion between the foreground equipment's proprietary protocol and the IFSF protocol, satisfying the unified management and control needs of the back-end management system. It communicates with the back-end system using the IFSF data communication standard; it offers master control and monitoring modes for fuel dispenser control; it can collect and transmit business data such as fuel nozzle status, refueling data, and liquid level data; it enables the uploading and distribution of data and commands to the POS terminal; and it connects to the fuel dispenser via a hardware port. Fuel dispenser data is transmitted through the port to a hub, which then transmits the received data to a local server. The local server transmits the data to a dual-screen POS system, which integrates the data and transmits it to the cloud via a program.
[0003] In current vestibular controllers, the wiring terminals are often left relatively open when connecting transmission lines. While this design facilitates quick wiring by technicians, it also presents a significant problem: dust and debris can easily enter the vestibular controller through the opening in the wiring terminal. Since the vestibular controller contains delicate electronic components and complex circuit structures, these tiny dust particles, once inside, can adhere to the circuit board, leading to a series of serious consequences such as short circuits, signal interference, and even component damage.
[0004] Especially in harsh environments, such as industrial settings like gas stations, where the levels of dust, oil, and other pollutants in the air are high, these contaminants can more easily enter the vestibular controller through the wiring terminals, adversely affecting its performance. Over time, this can not only reduce the stability and reliability of the vestibular controller but also potentially cause malfunctions, increase maintenance costs, and even disrupt the normal operation of the entire gas station. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an improved vestibular controller that solves the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0007] At least two of the aforementioned terminals are located on the rear side of the vestibular controller body, and at least two of the aforementioned transmission lines are respectively inserted inside the at least two aforementioned terminals. Corresponding to the at least two aforementioned terminals, at least two of the aforementioned protective components are located on the rear side of the vestibular controller body.
[0008] The protective component includes at least two slide bars and at least one baffle. The at least two slide bars are spaced apart on the left and right sides of the terminal block. The at least one baffle is slidably connected between the opposite sides of the at least two slide bars. A latching assembly is installed on the side of the baffle away from the vestibular controller body. The latching assembly is in contact with the back of the transmission line.
[0009] Furthermore, the upper cross-section of the slider is L-shaped.
[0010] Furthermore, the baffle is attached to the back of the vestibular controller body.
[0011] Furthermore, the buckle assembly includes a U-shaped buckle for mounting on the back of the baffle.
[0012] Furthermore, the U-shaped buckle is attached to the back of the transmission line.
[0013] Furthermore, the U-shaped buckle is inclined on the side closest to the transmission line.
[0014] Furthermore, the opening of the wiring terminal is located on the same plane as the back of the vestibular controller body.
[0015] Furthermore, a limiting plate is installed inside both of the slide bars, and two guide rods are installed at the bottom end of the baffle, with the two guide rods respectively passing through the interior of the two limiting plates.
[0016] Furthermore, a ring is installed at the bottom end of the guide rod, and a spring is installed between the ring and the limiting plate.
[0017] Furthermore, the spring is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] This improved vestibular controller, through the design of a protective component, can shield idle terminals, effectively preventing external dust from entering the main body of the vestibular controller from idle terminals, thus protecting the internal electronic components from damage. The baffle and U-shaped buckle in the protective component not only shield the terminals when idle, but also act as a limit after the terminals are connected to the transmission line, preventing the transmission line from falling out of the terminals and improving the stability of the connection.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-2 An improved vestibular controller in this embodiment is used to protect the idle terminal 2.
[0027] Specifically, it includes a vestibular controller body 1, at least two terminals 2, at least two transmission lines 3, and at least two protective components 4; the at least two terminals 2 are all located on the rear side of the vestibular controller body 1, the at least two transmission lines 3 are respectively inserted into the interior of the at least two terminals 2, and the at least two protective components 4 are all located on the rear side of the vestibular controller body 1.
[0028] In actual use, the protective component 4 covers the unused terminal 2 to prevent dust from entering the vestibular controller body 1 from the unused terminal 2. When the terminal 2 is connected to the transmission line 3, the cooperation between the components inside the protective component 4 can limit the transmission line 3 and prevent the transmission line 3 from falling out of the terminal 2.
[0029] Please see Figure 3-4In order to protect the unused terminal 2, the protective component 4 in this embodiment includes at least two slide bars 401 and at least one baffle 402. The at least two slide bars 401 are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the terminal 2, and the at least one baffle 402 is slidably connected between the opposite sides of the at least two slide bars 401. A buckle assembly is installed on the side of the baffle 402 away from the vestibular controller body 1, and the buckle assembly is attached to the back of the transmission line 3.
[0030] In actual use, the baffle 402 is initially attached to the back of the terminal 2 and closes the opening of the terminal 2. When it is necessary to connect the terminal 2 to the transmission line 3, the baffle 402 is moved upward so that the baffle 402 is removed from the opening of the terminal 2, and then the terminal 2 is connected to the transmission line 3.
[0031] It should be noted that, in order to ensure that the baffle 402 effectively closes the idle terminal 2, the upper cross-section of the slide bar 401 in this embodiment is L-shaped; the baffle 402 is attached to the back of the vestibular controller body 1, and the opening of the terminal 2 is on the same plane as the back of the vestibular controller body 1.
[0032] In actual setup, the baffle 402 slides up and down inside the slide bar 401 and is always in contact with the back of the vestibular controller body 1. That is, when the baffle 402 moves to the rear side of the terminal 2, the baffle 402 can cover and block the opening of the terminal 2.
[0033] Furthermore, in order to ensure a stable connection between the terminal 2 and the transmission line 3 and to prevent the transmission line 3 from falling out of the terminal 2, the latching assembly in this embodiment includes a U-shaped buckle 407 on the back of the mounting baffle 402, the U-shaped buckle 407 being attached to the back of the transmission line 3; the side of the U-shaped buckle 407 closest to the transmission line 3 is inclined.
[0034] In actual use, after the terminal 2 is connected to the transmission line 3, the baffle 402 is attached to the upper surface of the transmission line 3, and the U-shaped buckle 407 is attached to the side of the transmission line 3 away from the terminal 2, which effectively improves the stability after the terminal 2 and the transmission line 3 are connected.
[0035] In actual setup, by tilting the U-shaped buckle 407 towards the transmission line 3, the U-shaped buckle 407 can smoothly fit against the back of the terminal 2 when it moves downward, so as to abut the terminal 2.
[0036] Furthermore, in order to limit the position of the baffle 402 and the U-shaped buckle 407, a limiting plate 403 is installed inside the two sliding bars 401 in this embodiment. Two guide rods 404 are installed at the bottom of the baffle 402, and the two guide rods 404 are respectively inserted through the inside of the two limiting plates 403. A ring 405 is installed at the bottom of the guide rod 404, and a spring 406 is installed between the ring 405 and the limiting plate 403. The spring 406 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 404.
[0037] In actual use, the elastic force of the spring 406 pushes the ring 405 and the guide rod 404 downward, so that the baffle 402 is always in contact with the upper surface of the terminal 2, while ensuring the tightness of the U-shaped buckle 407 in contact with the back of the terminal 2, effectively improving the stability of the connection between the terminal 2 and the transmission line 3.
[0038] Moreover, the elasticity of the spring 406 can adapt to the size differences of different terminals 2 and transmission lines 3, ensuring a tight fit under various conditions and improving the versatility and adaptability of the device.
[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
