Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of connector waterproof, specifically relates to a high protection type programmable controller. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of industrial automation and electronic equipment, the cabinet high protection controller as a key component is widely used in various harsh environmental conditions to ensure the stable operation of the system. Such controllers need to have a high protection level to resist the erosion of dust, moisture, vibration and extreme temperature and other adverse factors. At present, most of the cabinet high protection controllers on the market use the glue filling scheme to realize their high protection characteristics. However, although the glue filling scheme meets the basic protection requirements to some extent, its inherent defects are increasingly prominent, which are specifically shown in the following aspects:

[0003] 1. High maintenance cost and inconvenience: the glue filling packaging method makes it difficult to repair or replace the electronic components inside the controller once they are damaged, and the controller usually needs to be replaced as a whole, which not only increases the maintenance cost, but also prolongs the maintenance cycle and affects the quick recovery of the equipment.

[0004] 2. Production efficiency and site restrictions: the complete curing process after glue filling lasts for 24 hours, which significantly reduces the assembly efficiency of the production line, especially in mass production assembly, this defect is particularly prominent. In addition, the curing process needs to occupy a large space, which increases the production cost and management difficulty.

[0005] 3. Water failure in low temperature environment: in the long-term-40℃ low temperature environment, the adhesion between the glue and the shell may weaken, causing the shell and the glue to separate, and then causing water failure, which seriously affects the reliability and service life of the controller.

[0006] 4. Quality control in production process: since the PCBA (printed circuit board assembly) is completely filled with glue, once any quality problem is found in the production process, such as component misassembly, poor welding, etc., it can only be treated as scrap, which increases the production cost and waste.

[0007] 5. Limited heat dissipation performance: the limited heat conductivity coefficient of the glue in the glue filling scheme limits the overall heat dissipation performance of the controller, especially in high power density applications, the heat dissipation problem is particularly prominent, which affects the further improvement of the controller performance.

[0008] 6. Health risk: during the glue assembly process, the glue may volatilize gas with irritating odor for a long time, which poses a potential threat to the health of assembly workers and increases the occupational health and safety risk.

[0009] In view of the above problems, the industry is in urgent need of a new, more efficient and environmentally friendly off-cabinet high-protection controller to solve the many deficiencies of the existing controller glue filling, improve production efficiency, reduce maintenance costs, and at the same time protect the health and safety of production workers.
