Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of power supply and distribution equipment technology, specifically to a power control device and a modular power control equipment. Background Technology
[0002] In the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production process, the pick-and-place machine is a core piece of equipment. Its modular design and assembly require independent power-on testing of each functional module before the final assembly. Currently, the industry commonly uses temporary test power supply systems, which have the following technical drawbacks: 1. Insufficient safety: Temporarily assembled switching power supply systems lack standardized protective structures, leaving electrical components exposed, posing a risk of electric shock. Furthermore, the protection level is typically lower than IP20, failing to meet industrial environment safety requirements. 2. Low operational efficiency: Each test requires manual assembly of the power supply lines by electrical personnel, a cumbersome and time-consuming process (approximately 30-60 minutes per assembly). After testing, the temporary system must be dismantled, resulting in low reuse rates and wasted manpower and materials. 3. Functional limitations: Temporary systems cannot be remotely controlled. During testing, personnel must operate the power supply on / off and adjust parameters on-site, resulting in low automation. The power supply control lacks surge suppression mechanisms, and frequent starts and stops can easily generate transient voltage surges (measured surge voltage peaks can reach 2-3 times the rated value), causing damage to the circuitry of the module under test and increasing repair costs. 4. Poor mobility and observability: Temporary systems rely on scattered equipment and cannot be moved as a whole to different test stations, which restricts the efficiency of cross-line testing; the operation status monitoring relies on manual visual inspection and lacks a visual monitoring window, which increases the time spent on troubleshooting by more than 50%.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a modular test power supply device with high integration, remote control support, safety protection and rapid deployment capabilities to solve the systemic defects in safety, efficiency and automation level of existing technologies.

[0034] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Example 1
[0035] A power control device, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes:
[0036] The power input module is configured to connect to a 220V AC power supply and distribute power through a terminal block.
[0037] A programmable controller, connected to the terminal block and configured to output control signals;
[0038] At least three intermediate relays are provided, with the coil interface of each intermediate relay connected to the output terminal of the programmable controller, and normally open contacts connected in series in the terminal block and the input circuit of the corresponding switching power supply. The connection relationship between the programmable controller and the intermediate relays is configured such that when the programmable controller loses power, the intermediate relays automatically disconnect the input circuit of the corresponding switching power supply.
[0039] A switching power supply group includes at least three switching power supplies with different output parameters, wherein: the first switching power supply is configured to output control power; the second and third switching power supplies are configured to output power; and each switching power supply in the switching power supply group has a surge suppression circuit on its input side.
[0040] A signal control interface, connected to the programmable controller, is used to receive control commands from external devices; the signal control interface includes an isolation optocoupler circuit to achieve electrical isolation between the external control signals and the programmable controller.
[0041] The programmable controller outputs an enable signal by default to maintain the intermediate relay in the energized state, and dynamically adjusts the on / off state of each intermediate relay according to the instructions received by the signal control interface, thereby achieving stable output control by controlling the on / off state of the corresponding switching power supply input circuit.
[0042] Preferably, the number of intermediate relays is set to three, each corresponding to an input circuit of one of the three switching power supplies, wherein:
[0043] The first switching power supply 1 is configured to output 24V / 150W control power;
[0044] The second switching power supply 2 is configured to output 48V / 450W power.
[0045] The third switching power supply 3 is configured to output 24V / 1000W power.
[0046] The exemplary device is equipped with a 10A power plug and can be directly connected to a 10A three-prong socket. The device operates as follows:
[0047] After connecting the power plug and turning on the main power switch to connect to 220V AC power, the power enters the terminal block and flows to the programmable controller (PLC) and the normally open contacts of the three intermediate relays. The PLC connects to the coil interface of the intermediate relays. When no external device controls the system, the PLC defaults to controlling the intermediate relays to close their normally open contacts. (External devices can control the PLC by sending commands through the signal control interface to open and close the intermediate relays.) After the normally open contacts of the intermediate relays close, the power from the terminal block flows through the relay contacts to the switching power supply, enabling the switching power supply to operate normally and output the specified voltage. Switching power supply 1 outputs 24V 150W control power, switching power supply 2 outputs 48V 450W power power, and switching power supply 3 outputs 24V 1000W power power.
[0048] The programmable controller controls the on / off state of the output power supply by controlling the on / off state of the input power supply of the switching power supply, thus ensuring the stable output of the switching power supply without the influence of surges. Example 2
[0049] A modular power control device, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes:
[0050] The box assembly includes an integrally welded box 101, a detachable cover plate 102 and a bottom plate 103. The inner wall of the box 101 is provided with a press-fit nut 104 and a nut post 105 for fixing the cover plate 102 and the bottom plate 103.
[0051] Functional structural components, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a notch 106 on the base plate 103, a circuit breaker bracket 110 and a guide rail 111 installed in the area of the base plate 103, and a transparent observation window 109 on the cover plate 102. The base plate 103 can be disassembled and assembled with electrical modules through the notch 106.

[0053] Furthermore, the enclosure 101 has handles 107 on both sides, which are bolted to the enclosure 101; the transparent observation window 109 is made of acrylic sheet and embedded in the pre-drilled holes in the cover plate 102; the enclosure 101 is a fully enclosed welded structure, and the contact surface between the cover plate 102 and the enclosure 101 is provided with a sealing strip; the notch 106 of the bottom plate 103 includes U-shaped openings on the upper, left, and lower sides, and the opening width is 10-15mm wider than the electrical module installation size; the guide rail 111 is a DIN standard 35mm guide rail, and the programmable controller 112 and the intermediate relay 108 are fixed to the guide rail 111 by snap-fit. The side of the enclosure 101 is also provided with a control electrical interface 114, a power electrical interface 115, and a communication interface 116.
[0054] The enclosure features a one-piece welded structure, ensuring strength while reducing assembly steps. The cover design not only protects internal components and increases the overall protection level of the device, but also allows for external access to the main power supply and observation of the interior. The bottom plate has notches on the top, left, and bottom, allowing personnel to easily remove and insert any components mounted on top, along with mounting holes for installation into the enclosure.
[0055] The equipment structure is relatively simple to assemble while facilitating the installation of electrical components. The assembly method is as follows: Step 1: Install the circuit breaker bracket and guide rail to the designated position on the base plate; Step 2: Fix the switching power supply through the threaded holes on the base plate; Step 3: Connect the terminal block, programmable controller, and intermediate relay to the guide rail; Step 4: Install the main power switch to the circuit breaker bracket; Step 5: After completing the electrical wiring, insert the entire base plate into the enclosure and tighten it with the rivet nuts; Step 6: Install the cover plate and fix the transparent observation window.
[0056] In summary, the integrated modular design of the electrical components combines power supply-related electrical and control parts into a single device. This one-time assembly avoids repeated reassembly during future use, and the enclosed casing enhances the overall protection level and safety. With fixed internal components and handles on the casing, the device can be easily moved to different locations. The inclusion of a programmable controller and other electrical devices allows for control via an external host computer, eliminating the need for continuous on-site intervention. When it's necessary to observe the internal status of the device, indicator lights on the internal components can be viewed through a designated transparent acrylic panel on the casing, facilitating troubleshooting.
