Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of industrial control computers, and in particular to a portable industrial control computer with a ruggedized structure. Background Technology

[0002] An industrial control computer (ICSC) is a computing device specifically designed for industrial environments. It is a general term for tools that use a bus architecture to monitor and control production processes, electromechanical equipment, and tooling. It integrates computer technology, automation control technology, and customized functions and designs to meet the specific needs of industrial environments, and is primarily used for industrial control and testing.

[0003] Industrial control computers (ICCs) play a crucial role in current industrial control systems. However, in practical use, these devices face various security threats and performance challenges. To improve the ruggedness of ICCs, a common practice is to install rugged covers at the corners. The main purpose of this approach is to increase the physical protective layer, enhancing the device's resistance to external impacts or malicious damage, thereby protecting the internal hardware and data. While corner rugged covers effectively improve the protection of ICCs, there are significant shortcomings in the ruggedness of the heat sink fins on the upper part of the ICC. Heat sink fins are an important component of the ICC's cooling system; their main function is to increase heat dissipation area to improve efficiency and ensure the stability and reliability of the computer under high load. However, because heat sink fins are usually located on the upper part of the computer and have a relatively thin structure, they are easily affected and damaged by the external environment.

[0004] Specifically, if the heatsink fins are damaged or deformed, their heat dissipation area will decrease, thus affecting heat dissipation efficiency. This may cause the computer to overheat under high load, thereby affecting the computer's performance and lifespan. Damaged heatsink fins may also provide opportunities for external attackers. They may exploit the weak points in the heatsink fins to carry out physical damage or penetration attacks, thereby obtaining sensitive data or control systems inside the computer. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a portable industrial control computer with a reinforced structure, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A portable industrial control computer with a reinforced structure includes a chassis, ports, side mounting brackets, mounting holes, and heat dissipation fins. The ports are located at the front and rear ends of the chassis, the side mounting brackets are fixed on both sides of the chassis, multiple mounting holes are located on the end faces of the side mounting brackets, and multiple heat dissipation fins are installed on the upper end of the chassis to dissipate heat from the industrial control computer.

[0008] The chassis is provided with a first reinforced connector at the corner of the side wall. The four first reinforced connectors form a lower square reinforced frame through horizontal and vertical bars, and the protective performance at this point is enhanced by the directional reinforced frame.

[0009] The four first-reinforced connectors are connected to the second-reinforced connectors by connecting bolts. The four second-reinforced connectors form an upper square reinforcement frame through another set of horizontal and vertical bars, which strengthens the lateral protection of the heat dissipation fins.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the upper longitudinal rod has a square groove in its body, and the lower longitudinal rod has a square blind hole in its body. The square groove is directly opposite the square blind hole. Multiple square grooves and square blind holes are equidistantly distributed on the longitudinal rod. Reinforcing inserts are inserted into the square grooves and square blind holes, and a through groove is formed between two adjacent reinforcing inserts.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the upper end of the reinforcing insert is designed in a "C" shape, the lower end of the reinforcing insert is connected to an anti-slip pad by an adhesive, and the end face of the reinforcing insert is connected to a buffer pad by an adhesive.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the transverse rod and the longitudinal rod are fixed to the first reinforcing connector or the second reinforcing connector by bolts, and the transverse rod and the longitudinal rod are perpendicular to each other;

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the top view of the first and second reinforced connectors is L-shaped, with a round tube at the corner. The connecting bolt passes through the round tube and is connected to the first and second reinforced connectors through threads.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of this application, the first and second reinforced connectors are adapted to the corners of the chassis, and anti-slip rubber pads are provided at the connection points between the chassis and the first and second reinforced connectors.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The upper and lower square reinforced frames formed by the first and second reinforced connectors significantly enhance the chassis's protective performance, especially the structural stability at the side wall corners. Horizontal and vertical bars are bolted to the reinforced connectors, ensuring structural stability and forming a robust support structure perpendicular to each other. Anti-slip pads are adhesively attached to the lower ends of the reinforced inserts, increasing friction between the inserts and the chassis contact surface, thereby improving stability.

[0017] The end face of the reinforced connector is bonded with a cushioning pad via adhesive, which helps absorb vibration and impact, protecting sensitive internal components. Anti-slip rubber pads are placed at the connection points between the chassis and the reinforced connector, enhancing the stability of the connection and helping to reduce the impact of vibration and impact on sensitive internal components.

[0018] The horizontal bar serves as a handle, making it easy to access the industrial control computer and facilitating its movement and use in different working environments. Attached Figure Description

[0024] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, a portable industrial control computer with a reinforced structure includes a chassis 1, ports 2, side mounting brackets 3, mounting holes 4, and heat dissipation fins 5. Ports 2 are designed to be mounted at the front and rear ends of the chassis 1, while the side mounting brackets 3 are fixed to both sides of the chassis 1. Multiple mounting holes 4 are provided on the end faces of the side mounting brackets 3, and multiple heat dissipation fins 5 are mounted on the upper part of the chassis 1. Through these heat dissipation fins 5, the industrial control computer can effectively dissipate heat.

[0027] A first reinforced connector 6 is specially designed at the corner of the side wall of the chassis 1. These four first reinforced connectors 6 form a lower square reinforced frame through the combination of horizontal rods 7 and vertical rods 8. The existence of this lower square reinforced frame significantly enhances the protection performance of this part. The horizontal rod 7 is used as a handle to facilitate the handling of the industrial control computer.

[0028] Four first-type reinforcing connectors 6 are connected to second-type reinforcing connectors 9 via connecting bolts 10. Similarly, these four second-type reinforcing connectors 9, through a combination of another set of transverse bars 7 and longitudinal bars 8, form an upper-level square reinforcing frame. The function of the upper-level square reinforcing frame is to further strengthen the lateral protection of the heat dissipation fins 5;

[0029] The transverse bar 7 and the longitudinal bar 8 are bolted to either the first reinforcing connector 6 or the second reinforcing connector 9, ensuring the stability of the structure. The transverse bar 7 and the longitudinal bar 8 are perpendicular to each other, forming a robust support structure.

[0030] The top view of the first reinforced connector 6 and the second reinforced connector 9 is designed in an "L" shape, with a specially designed round tube at the corner. The connecting bolt 10 passes through the round tube and achieves a firm connection between the first reinforced connector 6 and the second reinforced connector 9 through threads;

[0031] The first reinforced connector 6 and the second reinforced connector 9 fit perfectly into the corner of the chassis 1. To further enhance the stability of the connection, anti-slip rubber pads are specially provided at the connection points between the chassis 1 and the first reinforced connector 6 and the second reinforced connector 9.

[0032] Example 2:

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the structure differs from the above embodiment in that the upper longitudinal rod 8 has a square groove, while the lower longitudinal rod 8 has a square blind hole. The square groove and the square blind hole face each other, and multiple square grooves and square blind holes are equidistantly distributed on the longitudinal rod 8. Reinforcing inserts 11 are inserted into the square grooves and square blind holes, and a through groove 12 is formed between two adjacent reinforcing inserts 11.

[0034] The upper end of the reinforced insert 11 has a "C"-shaped design, which is both aesthetically pleasing and practical. The lower end of the reinforced insert 11 is connected to an anti-slip pad via adhesive, increasing the friction between the insert and the chassis 1, thereby improving stability. Simultaneously, the end face of the reinforced insert 11 is connected to a cushioning pad via adhesive, which helps absorb vibration and impact, protecting sensitive internal components.

[0035] Assembly Process: Install ports 2 at both ends of the chassis 1. Fix side mounting brackets 3 to both sides of the chassis 1. Provide multiple mounting holes 4 on the end face of the side mounting brackets 3. Install multiple heat dissipation fins 5 at the upper end of the chassis 1. Install four first-reinforcement connectors 6 at the corners of the side walls of the chassis 1. Form a lower square reinforcement frame by combining horizontal rods 7 and vertical rods 8 to ensure structural stability. Connect the four first-reinforcement connectors 6 to the second-reinforcement connectors 9 using connecting bolts 10. Form an upper square reinforcement frame by combining another set of horizontal rods 7 and vertical rods 8 to further enhance the lateral protection of the heat dissipation fins 5. Ensure that the horizontal rods 7 and vertical rods 8 are fixed to the first-reinforcement connectors 6 or the second-reinforcement connectors 9 by bolts. The top view of the first-reinforcement connectors 6 and the second-reinforcement connectors 9 is designed in an "L" shape, with a specially designed round tube at the corner. The connecting bolts 10 pass through the round tube and are securely connected by threads. Anti-slip rubber pads are installed at the connection points between the chassis 1 and the first reinforced connector 6 and the second reinforced connector 9 to enhance the stability of the connection. A square groove is formed in the body of the upper longitudinal rod 8, and a square blind hole is formed in the body of the lower longitudinal rod 8, ensuring that the square groove and the square blind hole are aligned. Reinforced inserts 11 are inserted into the square grooves and square blind holes, and through grooves 12 are formed between adjacent reinforced inserts 11. The upper end of the reinforced insert 11 has a "C" shape design, and the lower end is connected to the anti-slip pad and the buffer pad with adhesive to increase friction and absorb vibration and impact.

[0036] Usage Procedure: Ensure all connectors and reinforcing inserts 11 are correctly installed and secured. Place the industrial control computer in a suitable working environment. Connect the necessary power and data cables to port 2 of chassis 1. Turn on the industrial control computer and perform system startup and initialization. Operate and monitor as needed. During use, ensure the heat sink 5 maintains good heat dissipation. If you need to move the industrial control computer, you can hold the horizontal bar 7 as a handle for easy handling. During transportation, avoid severe vibration and impact to protect sensitive internal components.
