Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of remote I / O controller technology, and in particular relates to a remote I / O controller with anti-corrosion function. Background Technology

[0002] A remote I / O controller is a device used in fields such as industrial automation. It can transmit field input and output signals to the control system over long distances via a network, effectively reducing wiring costs and complexity, improving system scalability and flexibility, supporting multiple communication protocols, and can be flexibly applied to different industrial environments, ensuring stable and efficient data transmission.

[0003] Some existing remote I / O controllers do not allow for easy removal of the controller cover. This makes it difficult to quickly disassemble the controller when internal electronic components malfunction, thus hindering the effective location of the fault. This increases maintenance time and equipment downtime, ultimately amplifying losses due to equipment failure. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a remote I / O controller with anti-corrosion function. By setting up a disassembly mechanism, it solves the problem that it is not convenient to disassemble the cover plate of some existing remote I / O controllers.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a remote I / O controller with corrosion resistance, comprising a controller housing, on which a disassembly mechanism and two cooling mechanisms are provided.

[0007] The disassembly mechanism includes a cover plate fixedly mounted on the top of the controller housing. Two fixing blocks are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the controller housing. Each of the two fixing blocks has a positioning groove at its top. Two positioning posts are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate. The bottom ends of the two positioning posts extend into the corresponding positioning groove and are slidably connected to the corresponding positioning groove. Sliding grooves are provided on the left and right sides of the controller housing. Sliding rods are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding grooves. The ends of the two sliding rods that are far apart from each other extend to the outside of the controller housing and are slidably connected to the controller housing. The ends of the two sliding rods that are close to each other pass through the corresponding positioning posts and are slidably connected to the corresponding positioning posts. A spring is fitted on each of the two sliding rods.

[0008] Furthermore, each of the two sliding rods has a pull plate fixedly connected to its opposite end, and each of the two pull plates is threadedly connected to the controller housing by two bolts.

[0009] Furthermore, the cooling mechanism includes a cooling component and a disassembly component. The cooling component includes an air duct fixedly connected to the rear side of the controller housing, and a fixing bracket is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the air duct.

[0010] Furthermore, a blower fan is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket, and several exhaust vents are provided on the top of the cover plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the disassembly assembly includes a filter plate slidably connected to the inner wall of the duct, and two sliding grooves are provided on the rear side of the filter plate, with springs fixedly connected to the inner bottom walls of the two sliding grooves.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the two springs is fixedly connected to a positioning block at one end away from the inner bottom wall of the corresponding slide groove, and the inner wall of the air duct has two positioning grooves, with the two positioning blocks slidably connected to the corresponding positioning grooves.

[0013] Furthermore, a movable plate is fixedly connected to the rear side of each of the two positioning blocks, and two bolts are threadedly connected between each of the two movable plates and the air duct.

[0014] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. By setting up a disassembly mechanism, loosening bolt one, and removing bolt one, the pull plate is moved. When the pull plate moves, it drives the slide rod to move. When the slide rod moves, it drives spring one to contract, thereby causing the slide rod to disengage from the positioning post. Then, the cover plate moves upward, and when the cover plate moves, it drives the positioning post to disengage from positioning groove one. Through the disassembly mechanism, when a fault occurs inside the remote IO controller, maintenance personnel can quickly open the controller, directly access the internal components of the controller, locate the fault point in time, and replace the damaged components, thereby greatly shortening the maintenance time, reducing equipment downtime, and reducing production losses caused by equipment failure. At the same time, it is easier to open the controller, making regular maintenance easier. This allows maintenance personnel to easily open the controller to clean the inside of the controller and remove dust, impurities, and other substances that may affect the performance of the controller.

[0016] 2. By setting up a cooling mechanism, the second bolt is moved, and after the second bolt is removed, the moving plate is moved. When the moving plate moves, it drives the positioning block to move. When the positioning block moves, the second spring contracts. After the second spring contracts, the positioning block is disengaged from the positioning groove. The cooling mechanism facilitates the disassembly of the filter plate, making the cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the filter plate more convenient. It also prevents excessive accumulation of dust and other impurities on the filter plate during long-term operation, which would accumulate on the outer surface of the filter plate, block the filter holes, reduce the air intake, and affect the heat dissipation effect of the equipment. This allows air to pass smoothly through the filter plate into the equipment, maintaining good air circulation and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0017] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-6As shown, this utility model is a remote I / O controller with anti-corrosion function, including a controller housing 1. The controller housing 1 is provided with a disassembly mechanism 2 and two cooling mechanisms 3. The disassembly mechanism 2 includes a cover plate 21 fixedly installed on the top of the controller housing 1. Two fixing blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the controller housing 1. The top of each of the two fixing blocks 22 is provided with a positioning groove 23. The bottom of the cover plate 21 is fixedly connected with two positioning posts 24. The bottom ends of the two positioning posts 24 extend into the corresponding positioning groove 23 and are slidably connected to the corresponding positioning groove 23. Sliding grooves 25 are provided on the left and right sides of the controller housing 1. Sliding rods 26 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two sliding grooves 25. The ends of the two sliding rods 26 that are far apart from each other extend to the outside of the controller housing 1 and are slidably connected to the controller housing 1. The ends of the two slide rods 26 that are close to each other pass through the corresponding positioning post 24 and are slidably connected to the corresponding positioning post 24. Springs 27 are fitted on both slide rods 26. Pull plates 28 are fixedly connected to the ends of the two slide rods 26 that are far apart from each other. Two bolts 29 are threadedly connected between the two pull plates 28 and the controller housing 1. Through the disassembly mechanism 2, when a fault occurs inside the remote IO controller, the maintenance personnel can quickly open the controller, directly contact the internal components of the controller, locate the fault point in time, and replace the damaged components, thereby greatly shortening the maintenance time, reducing equipment downtime, and reducing production losses caused by equipment failure. At the same time, it is easier to open the controller, making regular maintenance easier. This allows maintenance personnel to easily open the controller and clean the inside of the controller, removing dust, impurities, and other substances that may affect the performance of the controller.

[0029] The cooling mechanism 3 includes a cooling component and a disassembly component. The cooling component includes a duct 31 fixedly connected to the rear side of the controller housing 1. A fixing bracket 32 ​​is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the duct 31, and a blower fan 33 is fixedly connected to the fixing bracket 32. Several exhaust vents 34 are opened on the top of the cover plate 21. The disassembly component includes a filter plate 35 slidably connected to the inner wall of the duct 31. Two sliding grooves 36 are opened on the rear side of the filter plate 35. Springs 37 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of each of the two sliding grooves 36. A positioning block 38 is fixedly connected to the end of each spring 37 away from the inner bottom wall of the corresponding sliding groove 36. Two positioning grooves 39 are opened on the inner wall of the duct 31. Each positioning block 38 is slidably connected to its corresponding positioning groove 39. A movable plate 310 is fixedly connected to the rear side of each positioning block 38. Bolts 311 are threadedly connected between each movable plate 310 and the air duct 31. The cooling mechanism 3 facilitates the disassembly of the filter plate 35, making the cleaning, maintenance, or replacement of the filter plate 35 more convenient. This prevents excessive accumulation of dust and other impurities on the filter plate 35 during long-term operation, which would clog the filter holes, reduce air intake, and affect the heat dissipation of the equipment. This ensures that air can smoothly pass through the filter plate 35 into the equipment, maintaining good air circulation and heat dissipation efficiency.

[0030] One specific application of this embodiment is as follows: Loosen bolt 29. After bolt 29 is removed, move pull plate 28. When pull plate 28 moves, it drives slide rod 26 to move. When slide rod 26 moves, it drives spring 27 to contract, thereby causing slide rod 26 to disengage from positioning post 24. Then move cover plate 21 upward. When cover plate 21 moves, it drives positioning post 24 to disengage from positioning groove 23, so cover plate 21 can be disassembled. This allows maintenance personnel to quickly open cover plate 21 and directly access internal components when a fault occurs inside the remote IO controller, thereby promptly locating the fault point and replacing the damaged components inside the controller.

[0031] The blower fan 33 blows air into the controller to cool it down and prevent heat generated by electronic components from accumulating inside, thus avoiding damage to the components due to high temperatures. The exhaust vent 34, in conjunction with the blower fan 33, circulates air inside the controller, keeping it relatively clean and reducing the risk of interference and corrosion from impurities. The filter plate 35 filters the air entering the controller through the air duct 31, preventing dust and impurities from entering. By moving the bolt 311 and removing it, the moving plate 310 can be moved. When the moving plate 310 moves, it moves the positioning block 38, causing the spring 37 to contract. After the spring 37 contracts, the positioning block 38 disengages from the positioning groove 39, allowing the filter plate 35 to be disassembled. This facilitates cleaning, maintenance, and replacement of the filter plate 35, preventing dust and impurities from accumulating on the outer surface of the filter plate 35, clogging the filter holes, reducing airflow, and affecting the controller's heat dissipation.
