Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transport vehicles, and in particular to an HMI mounting bracket for livestock and poultry transport vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing emphasis placed on agriculture and animal husbandry by the state, the livestock industry has continued to grow and expand, and the scale of various livestock enterprises has also been expanding. As a result, the demand for the transfer and transportation of various livestock and poultry for export has increased significantly, and the market demand for livestock and poultry transport vehicles has also been increasing year by year. Livestock and poultry transportation is a crucial link in the process from breeding to sale, and the main precautions include: reducing stress on animals, avoiding disease and death during transportation, preventing the spread of diseases, and ensuring proper feeding and management.

[0003] HMI stands for Human Machine Interface, also known as a human-machine interface, which serves as a medium for interaction and information exchange. In industrial production, HMIs are used to monitor and control production processes. For example, control panels, consoles, and touchscreens in factories are used to operate and monitor production equipment, adjust parameters, and collect data. Applying HMIs to livestock transport vehicles can effectively improve their performance.

[0004] Designers typically install HMIs on the electrical control cabinet. However, due to the introduction of new functions and the strong industrial performance of HMIs, it's necessary to install them inside the vehicle's driver's cab. But the dashboards inside vehicle driver's cabs are designed by the chassis manufacturer using molds. Adding an HMI embedded in the dashboard later is cumbersome and can easily damage the dashboard's components. Most HMI mounting boxes on the market are rectangular and relatively thin, but the HMI's communication controller wiring harness and the USB flash drive used for data reading require considerable space, making installation impossible. Furthermore, because many vehicle dashboards are irregularly shaped, there is often no space to install such rectangular boxes. Even if installation is forced, it won't fit in the driver's cab of other brands' chassis, failing to achieve material uniformity and impacting production time and costs. Utility Model Content
