Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ABB control card expansion technology; more specifically, it relates to ABB control card expansion components. Background Technology
[0002] ABB control cards typically involve a variety of hardware devices used in automation and control systems, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motion control cards, robot control cards, etc. ABB's control cards are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, process control and other fields. Their main functions include signal processing, motion control, data acquisition and real-time monitoring.
[0003] Currently, existing ABB control card expansion components have several drawbacks. Firstly, some existing devices lack protective structures for the expansion ports, allowing moisture or dust to affect the ports when idle, potentially causing damage and poor contact. Secondly, some devices utilize hot-swappable expansion connections, but lack proper connector securing mechanisms, leading to loosening and unstable connections. Therefore, ABB control card expansion components are urgently needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides an ABB control card expansion component to solve the problems existing in the background art.
[0005] This utility model provides the following technical solution: an ABB control card expansion component, comprising:
[0006] The control structure includes a controller panel, an expansion interface, a dust cover, and a locking block, and the locking block is provided in two sets.
[0007] The fixing structure has two sets, and the fixing structure includes a fixing seat, a fixing block and a locking groove, and the two sets of fixing seats are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the controller panel.
[0008] Preferably, the expansion interface is located inside the middle position of the controller panel, and a hinge shaft is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the controller panel. A connecting strip is sleeved on the outer surface of the hinge shaft. The expansion interface is provided with multiple sets of contacts for data transmission. The connecting strip can be sleeved on the outer surface of the middle position of the hinge shaft for rotation and will not detach from the outer surface of the middle position of the hinge shaft.
[0009] Preferably, a dust cover is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting strap, and the size of the dust cover is adapted to the size of the expansion interface. Anti-slip protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces on both sides of the dust cover, and anti-slip pads are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces at both ends of the dust cover. When the connecting strap rotates, it will drive the dust cover to rotate synchronously. The dust cover can be inserted into the interior of the expansion interface to protect the interior of the expansion interface. The anti-slip protrusions and anti-slip pads are both made of rubber.
[0010] Preferably, the expansion interface has an expansion connector inserted inside, and a locking block is fixedly connected to the outer surface of both ends of the expansion connector. The lower end of the locking block has a connection hole for connecting with the contacts inside the expansion interface, and the locking block has multiple sets of data lines inside for expanding data transmission.
[0011] Preferably, the upper surface of the fixed base has a movable groove, and a connecting plate is inserted into the movable groove. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate. The connecting plate can move inside the movable groove, and when the connecting plate moves, it can drive the fixing block to move synchronously inside the fixed base.
[0012] Preferably, a spring is fixedly connected to the surface of one end of the fixed base, and one end of the spring abuts against the surface of the other end of the fixed block. A locking groove is formed inside the outer surface of one end of the fixed base, and the size of the locking groove is adapted to the size of the locking block. The lower surface of one end of the fixed block is attached to the upper surface of the locking block. When the fixed block moves, it can abut against the spring to retract, and the spring can abut against the fixed block to reset through its own elastic force. The locking block can be locked inside the locking groove, and when the lower surface of the fixed block is attached to the upper surface of the locking block, the locking block can be fixed inside the locking groove.
[0013] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: By pulling the dust cover, the connecting belt can be rotated on the outer surface of the hinge shaft in the middle position. Then, the dust cover is inserted into the expansion interface to prevent dust from entering the expansion interface. In addition, the two sets of anti-slip protrusions and anti-slip pads can increase the friction between the dust cover and the inner surface of the expansion interface, thereby improving the stability of the dust cover during use. This design allows the inside of the expansion interface to be protected when the equipment is not in use, preventing the inside of the expansion interface from being affected by moisture and dust.
[0014] This invention involves inserting the expansion connector into the expansion interface. Two sets of locking blocks abut against the upper surfaces of two sets of fixing blocks, causing the fixing blocks to retract inward. Then, the two sets of locking blocks engage with the interiors of two sets of locking slots. Subsequently, two sets of springs push the fixing blocks back to their original positions using their own elasticity. The lower surfaces of the fixing blocks then adhere to the upper surfaces of the locking blocks, thus fixing the positions of the locking blocks and the expansion connector. This design prevents the expansion connector from becoming loose inside the expansion interface, thereby improving the stability of the expansion connector during use. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solution of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely illustrative. The ABB control card expansion component involved in this utility model is not limited to the structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model. Example 1
[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an ABB control card expansion component, including: a control structure 1, which includes a controller panel 11, an expansion interface 12, a dust cover 15, and a locking block 19, with two sets of locking blocks 19. The expansion interface 12 is located inside the middle of the controller panel 11, and a hinge shaft 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the upper surface of the controller panel 11. A connecting strap 14 is sleeved on the outer surface of the hinge shaft 13, and a dust cover 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting strap 14. The size of the dust cover 15 is adapted to the size of the expansion interface 12, and anti-slip protrusions 16 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both sides of the dust cover 15. Anti-slip pads 17 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both ends of the dust cover 15. An expansion connector 18 is inserted into the expansion interface 12, and locking blocks 19 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of both ends of the expansion connector 18. The expansion interface 12 is provided with... There are multiple sets of contacts for data transmission. The connecting strap 14 can be fitted onto the outer surface of the hinge shaft 13 at the middle position and rotate without detaching from the outer surface of the hinge shaft 13 at the middle position. When the connecting strap 14 rotates, it can drive the dust cover 15 to rotate synchronously. The dust cover 15 can be inserted into the interior of the expansion interface 12 to protect the interior of the expansion interface 12. The two sets of anti-slip protrusions 16 and anti-slip pads 17 are made of rubber. Since rubber has good anti-slip properties, it can be designed to increase the contact area with the inner surface of the expansion interface 12, thereby enhancing the friction between the outer surface of the dust cover 15 and the inner surface of the expansion interface 12. This effectively prevents the dust cover 15 from sliding inside the expansion interface 12, thus better protecting the interior of the expansion interface 12, avoiding corrosion or contamination of its internal contacts, and improving the stability of the expansion interface 12 during use. Example 2
[0023] like Figures 4 to 5As shown, this embodiment also proposes: a fixing structure 2, which has two sets, and includes a fixing seat 21, a fixing block 24, and a locking groove 26. The two sets of fixing seats 21 are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the upper surface of the controller panel 11. A moving groove 22 is opened inside the upper surface of the fixing seat 21, and a connecting plate 23 is inserted inside the moving groove 22. The lower end of the connecting plate 23 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 24. A spring 25 is fixedly connected to the surface of one end of the fixing seat 21, and one end of the spring 25 abuts against the surface of the other end of the fixing block 24. A locking groove 26 is opened inside the outer surface of one end of the fixing seat 21, and the size of the locking groove 26 is adapted to the size of the locking block 19. The lower surface of one end of the fixing block 24 is attached to the upper surface of the locking block 19. The connecting plate 23 can move inside the moving groove 22, and the connecting plate 23 can move inside the moving groove 22. When moved, the fixed block 24 can move synchronously inside the fixed base 21. When the fixed block 24 moves, it can abut against the spring 25 to retract, and the spring 25 can abut against the fixed block 24 to reset through its own elasticity. The two sets of locking blocks 19 can abut against the upper surfaces of the two sets of fixed blocks 24 respectively. When the two sets of locking blocks 19 move downward, they can abut against the two sets of fixed blocks 24 to retract inward. Then, the two sets of locking blocks 19 can lock into the interior of the two sets of locking grooves 26 respectively. Then, the two sets of springs 25 can push the two sets of fixed blocks 24 to reset through their own elasticity, so that the lower surfaces of the two sets of fixed blocks 24 can fit against the upper surfaces of the two sets of locking blocks 19. At this time, the positions of the two sets of locking blocks 19 and the expansion connector 18 can be fixed, thereby preventing the expansion connector 18 from coming out of the interior of the expansion interface 12 or from moving or shaking inside the expansion interface 12.
[0024] Working principle: When using the device, first pull the dust cover 15 out of the expansion interface 12, then insert the expansion connector 18 into the expansion interface 12. At this time, the two sets of locking blocks 19 abut against the upper surfaces of the two sets of fixing blocks 24, causing the two sets of fixing blocks 24 to retract inward. Then, the two sets of locking blocks 19 are locked into the interior of the two sets of locking grooves 26. Then, the two sets of springs 25 push the two sets of fixing blocks 24 to reset through their own elasticity, so that the lower surfaces of the two sets of fixing blocks 24 can fit against the upper surfaces of the two sets of locking blocks 19. At this time, the expansion connector 18 is fixed inside the expansion interface 12.
[0025] When it is necessary to remove the expansion connector 18, pull the two sets of connecting plates 23 to cause the two sets of fixing blocks 24 to disengage from the upper surface of the two sets of locking blocks 19. At this time, the expansion connector 18 can be pulled out from the inside of the expansion interface 12. Then, insert the dust cover 15 into the inside of the expansion interface 12 to protect the inside of the expansion interface 12. The above is the complete working principle of this utility model.
[0026] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
