[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0030] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a servo driver 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 An exploded view of a servo driver 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown below, in conjunction with... Figure 1 and Figure 2 Provide a detailed description.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the servo drive 100 includes a drive body 110 and an expansion component 120. One side of the drive body 110 ( Figure 2 The front side of the device is provided with a first connector 111 and a first component 112, with the first component 112 located near the first connector 111. Figure 3 A schematic diagram of an extension component 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, one side of the expansion component 120 ( Figure 2 and Figure 3A second connector 121 and a second component 122 are provided on the rear side of the [partition / component], with the second component 122 located near the second connector 121. For example... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the first component 112 and the second component 122 can each be configured as one or more, and the expansion component 120 is disposed on one side of the servo driver 100. Figure 2 (on the front side of the drive body 110), the first component 112 and the second component 122 are magnetically attracted, the first connector 111 and the second connector 121 are coupled, and the driver body 110 and the expansion component 120 achieve signal transmission, power supply and other functions through the first connector 111 and the second connector 121.

[0032] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a notch 113 can be provided on the front side of the driver body 110, and the first connector 111 and the first component 112 are also provided at this notch 113. Correspondingly, the expansion component 120 can be installed in this notch 113, so that the driver body 110 provides a stable support for the expansion component 120. This design not only enhances the connection stability between the driver body 110 and the expansion component 120, but also ensures a tight fit and seamless docking between the two through precise matching and positioning.

[0033] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second connector 121 is hot-pluggably connected to the first connector 111, allowing the user to install and remove the second connector 121 without shutting down the servo drive 100. Optionally, the first connector 111 and the second connector 121 can be contact connectors, for example, one of which has one or more spring pins on its surface, and the other has one or more metal contacts on its surface, with electrical connection achieved through contact between the spring pins and the metal contacts. In some embodiments, the first connector 111 and the second connector 121 can also be plug-in connectors, for example, one of which can be designed with pins or plugs, and the other can be designed with corresponding sockets or receptacles.

[0034] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, both the first component 112 and the second component 122 can be configured as magnets, and they can be arranged corresponding to each other. When multiple first components 112 and multiple second components 122 are configured, the second component 122 is configured to magnetically attract a corresponding first component 112 and magnetically repel at least one non-corresponding first component 112. For example, in Figures 1 to 3In the illustrated embodiment, four of each of the first component 112 and the second component 122 are provided. Three of the first components 112 have their N-pole facing forward and their S-pole facing backward; one of the first components 112 has its S-pole facing forward and its N-pole facing backward; three of the second components 122 have their S-pole facing backward and their N-pole facing forward; and one of the second components 122 has its N-pole facing backward and its S-pole facing backward. This arrangement fully utilizes the attractive and repulsive forces between the magnets, enabling not only a magnetic connection between the driver body 110 and the expansion component 120, but also a good foolproof effect, preventing incorrect installation or misalignment of the expansion component 120 due to misoperation. In some embodiments, both the first component 112 and the second component 122 can be magnets, with the magnetic poles of each first component 112 arranged in the same direction, and the magnetic poles of each second component 122 arranged in the same direction. In other embodiments, one of the first component 112 and the second component 122 may be set as a magnet, and the other may be set as a material that can be magnetically attracted by a magnet (such as iron, nickel, etc.). This can reduce material costs and achieve magnetic attraction between the first component 112 and the second component 122, ensuring a firm connection between the extension component 120 and the driver body 110.

[0035] Figure 4 Another schematic diagram of an extension component according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the expansion component 120 includes a user interface 123 and a communication unit 124. The user interface 123 allows for user interaction, facilitating parameter settings, function selection, and status monitoring. The communication unit 124 can establish communication connections with other devices, providing users with convenient remote control of the equipment and enabling them to obtain real-time equipment operating status and performance data, as well as receive timely fault alarms and maintenance reminders. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the expansion component 120 may be configured with only one of the user unit or the communication unit 124 to meet different application needs and scenarios.

[0036] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the user interface 123 may include a display unit 1231 and an operation unit 1232. The display unit 1231 is used to display necessary information and data to the user, such as operation feedback, status indication, and error messages. The operation unit 1232 is used to receive user input commands to adjust the parameters of the servo drive 100 (e.g., speed, position, acceleration), thereby achieving precise control of the servo drive 100. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the user interface 123 may be configured with only one of the display unit 1231 or the operation unit 1232.

[0037] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 2 As shown, the display unit 1231 may include one or more of a display screen, indicator lights, and pointers, wherein the display screen may be an LED display screen, an LCD display screen, a CRT display screen, etc. The operation unit 1232 may include one or more of buttons, knobs, and a touch screen to provide diverse user interaction methods to meet the operating habits and preferences of different users. In some embodiments, the display unit 1231 and the operation unit 1232 may be integrated to make the structure of the expansion component 120 more compact. For example, a touch-enabled LCD display screen can be used, so that users can not only view information directly on the LCD display screen, but also control it by touching the LCD display screen, thereby achieving an intuitive and efficient interactive experience.

[0038] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 As shown, the communication unit 124 may include a wireless communication module 1241 and a wired communication module 1242 to achieve both wired and wireless communication, enabling the servo drive 100 to adapt to different working environments and communication conditions, and enhancing the communication reliability of the servo drive 100. In cases where the wireless signal is unstable or unavailable, the wired communication module 1242 ensures a stable communication connection, guaranteeing that the servo drive 100 can continuously maintain normal communication functions without being affected by wireless signal fluctuations. One or more wireless communication modules 1241 may be provided. These modules can be WiFi, ZigBee, Bluetooth, 3G, 4G, 5G, etc., supporting different wireless communication protocols and frequency bands, allowing the servo drive 100 to exchange data with remote servers, mobile devices, or other devices without a physical connection. The wired communication module 1242 may be a digital input / output interface, an analog input / output interface, an RS485 interface, an Ethernet interface, etc. These interfaces support high-speed, high-capacity data transmission, suitable for applications requiring stable connections and high data transmission rates. Those skilled in the art will understand that in some embodiments, the communication unit 124 may be configured with only one of the wireless communication module 1241 or the wired communication module 1242.

[0039] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model provide a servo drive 100 equipped with an easily replaceable expansion component 120. This allows users to conveniently replace the expansion component 120 with different functions according to application requirements, improving the flexibility, scalability, and ease of maintenance of the servo drive 100.
