[0020] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 3An AGV control module protective shell includes a base plate 1, on which a control module 2 and an inner protective shell 3 are mounted. The control module 2 is placed inside the inner protective shell 3. A cushioning cotton cover 6 is fitted around the outer periphery of the inner protective shell 3, and an outer protective shell 7 is fitted around the outer periphery of the cushioning cotton cover 6. The bottom edge of the cushioning cotton cover 6 is not covered by the outer protective shell 7. Ventilation holes 15 are provided on both sides of the inner protective shell 3. A filter plate 16 is installed inside the ventilation hole 15. A cooling fan 17 is installed on the inner side wall of the inner protective shell 3 in conjunction with the filter plate 16. A temperature sensor 19 and a controller 20 are installed on the inner wall of the inner protective shell 3. The cooling fan 17 and the temperature sensor 19 are both connected to the controller 20 via wiring.
[0022] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The inner protective shell 3 has a first extension plate 4 integrally formed at its bottom edge, the cushioning cotton cover 6 has a widened portion 13 integrally formed at its bottom edge, the outer protective shell 7 has a second extension plate 12 integrally formed at its bottom edge, the cushioning cotton cover 6 has a plurality of insertion holes 11 evenly distributed at its top, and the outer protective shell 7 has a plurality of insertion parts 8 evenly distributed on its inner top surface. The position, quantity, shape and size of the insertion parts 8 correspond to the insertion holes 11.
[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 3 The connector 8 includes a cylindrical portion 9 and a spherical portion 10. The top end of the cylindrical portion 9 is connected to the inner top surface of the outer protective shell 7, and the bottom end of the cylindrical portion 9 is connected to the top of the spherical portion 10. The outer diameter of the spherical portion 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical portion 9.
[0024] Example 2: See Figure 1 , Figure 3 Based on Embodiment 1, the first extension plate 4 is detachably mounted on the base plate 1 by the first fixing bolt 5, the cooling fan 17 is mounted on the inner wall of the inner protective shell 3 by the second fixing bolt 18, and the bottom of the widened portion 13 is provided with a receiving groove 14 for accommodating the second fixing bolt 18.
[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 The inner wall of the inner protective housing 3 is equipped with a backup power supply 21. The controller 20, the cooling fan 17, and the temperature sensor 19 are all connected to the backup power supply 21. The backup power supply 21 stores a certain amount of electricity. When the base plate 1 is powered off, the backup power supply 21 can provide power, and the cooling fan 17, controller 20, and temperature sensor 19 can all work normally.
[0026] Working principle: When in use, the inner protective shell 3 is installed onto the base plate 1 by the first fixing bolt 5. The inner protective shell 3 surrounds the control module 2. Then, the buffer cotton cover 6 is placed on the inner protective shell 3. Finally, the outer protective shell 7 is placed on the periphery of the buffer cotton cover 6, so that the plug 8 is inserted into the plug hole 11 to fix the position of the outer protective shell 7. When the protective shell is impacted by external force, it will squeeze the buffer cotton cover 6 to absorb shock. When the temperature sensor 19 detects that the air temperature inside the inner protective shell 3 is high, the controller 20 starts the cooling fan 17. The cooling fan 17 drives the outside air to enter and exit the ventilation hole 15, thereby driving the air flow around the control module 2 to dissipate heat from the control module 2. The air enters the ventilation hole 15 after passing through the lower half of the buffer cotton cover 6. The buffer cotton cover 6 and the filter plate 16 can purify the air and prevent external impurities from entering.
